Yes, Because We Had To Work With Them – Many Americans Hold Negative Views of the Ivy League, According to New Survey

Inside Higher Ed reports:

Survey Finds Many Americans Hold Negative Views of the Ivies

A new survey by the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats found that a significant portion of the American public holds negative views about Ivy League universities and believe campus antisemitism is an important issue.

The survey was fielded by the university’s research organization, NORC, from May 1 to May 5, and included 2,131 American adults. It found that 45 percent of respondents see campus antisemitism as a “serious” or “very serious” issue. Among Republicans, the share was 54 percent, compared to roughly 40 percent of Democrats and 32 percent of Independents.

Meanwhile, 28 percent of respondents said they view Ivy League universities like Harvard and Yale as the “enemy.” A larger share of Republicans, about 47 percent, hold that sentiment, compared to about 11 percent of Democrats and roughly 30 percent of Independents. But 47 percent of Democrats said they were unsure, while 31 percent said they’d characterize Ivies as a “friend.”

Only a quarter of those surveyed believe the federal government should defund Ivy League institutions, similar to a finding in a recent report by the Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Whenever the Ivy’s got involved, the project took longer than needed, was more complicated, and more often than not, we came to the conclusion we had before they got involved. Plus, it came with an attitude not deserved

Till Death Do Us Part, For Real

A couple from the UK has signed up to die together in the Sarco “suicide pod” in Switzerland, and their deaths will allegedly be filmed.

Peter Scott (86) and Christine Scott (80) contacted the assisted suicide group “The Last Resort” last year regarding the Sarco machine because they wanted to commit suicide together after Christine received a diagnosis of vascular dementia — dementia caused by reduced blood flow to the brain.

But it wasn’t the diagnosis that worried them; what they fear is that neither of them will receive prompt treatment for their health conditions through the National Health Service (NHS).

“The chances of getting prompt NHS treatment for the ailments of old age seem pretty remote, so you end up trapped by infirmity and pain,” said Peter.

He told News.com.au, “We have had long, happy, healthy, fulfilled lives but here we are old and it does not do nice things to you. The idea of watching the slow degradation of Chris’s mental abilities in parallel to my physical decline is horrific to me.”

Rather than live out their lives, the couple will enter the Sarco pod — a device that, at the push of a button, will release nitrogen into the air, reducing the oxygen. They will die from hypoxia. According to Inspire, their deaths will be “filmed and provided to a coroner as evidence, setting a historic precedent in the field of assisted dying.”

David Hogg Grasping At Straws For Suggesting Young Men Just Want To ‘Get Laid’ And ‘Have Fun’

Well, that didn’t last long. The Democrats want to dump Hogg, Vice Chairman of the DNC. How are they dumb enough to make him Vice Chairman to begin with?

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk on Monday criticized Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg’s suggestion that young men could be wooed back to his party if it allows them to prioritize having sex and “fun.”

“Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun,” Hogg said on “Real Time With Bill Maher” Friday. Kirk, on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” said Hogg’s comments were “nihilist” and “dismissive” as young men have much deeper concerns.

He’s gone nowhere fast. He was on the take for money the whole time.

So His Execution Hurt. What About The Cops He Killed?

Mikal Mahdi died by firing squad on April 11 at Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina.

It was, in the opinion of myself and many others, 16 years too late in coming; despite there being no evidence that he hadn’t killed the three people, including a police officer, that he was convicted of killing during a 2004 multi-state murder spree — and there being considerable evidence that he was guilty of at least one other murder — he had been filing appeals to his death penalty sentence since 2009, all quite specious.

After yet another appeal failed in 2018, a South Carolina judicial circuit solicitor said he was “probably the most dangerous and violent person I’ve ever prosecuted,” that “he places no value on human life,” and noted that while in prison, he “nearly murdered a guard on death row.”

Yet, now that he’s dead, one news outlet — and I’m going to give you a paragraph to guess which journalistic institution is responsible for this one — is wringing its hands because, as they said, Mahdi “may have suffered for an extended period of time before dying because shooters largely missed his heart, an autopsy commissioned by the state shows.”

He deserved every ounce of pain for what he did. My sympathy runs shallow

AOTW

Done in tribute to Denny, the Grouchy Old Cripple.

This week, there were lots of options.

First, there was the towel head wearing Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. who said, “”Our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”

James Carville said that she’s pissing off about 33 percent of their voting base and to stop being a dumbass with a big mouth. STFU with your comments.

Then, there is Angel Reese and her Mom. They can’t stand that Caitlin Clark is better, more famous, and people like her better. She came out with this gem:

In a post that’s been seen nearly 900,000 times on social media platform X, according to X’s public metrics, Webb Reese cryptically remarked: “Aww that certain fan base (white people) looking in the stands celebrating ‘attendance’ while others are looking up in the rafters celebrating championship banners.

In opposing games this week, twice as many people attended the Fever game than the one Reese played in.

But for supreme assholiness, no one can top Michelle Obama who spent the week complaining about her oppressed life and her husband.

First, Michelle Obama says she’s back in therapy as she begins her “transition” to the “next phase” of her life. I guess she can finally be a man, or be a man again depending on who you believe.

She’s 60 now and had such a hard life. She went to elite schools, has 3 multi-million dollar houses, and has sponged off of the American taxpayers for the last 17 years.

How insufferable can Michelle Obama get? I suppose it makes sense — her fame has always been tied to her husband, and now she’s grappling with the fact that she’s no longer the center of attention. Her attempt to stay relevant, like that flop of a podcast with her brother, hasn’t exactly set the world on fire.

Michelle “Big Mike” Obama said on her failing podcast that she is very resentful that while she got to live for free in the world’s most famous mansion rent-free for eight years and had many of her meals paid for by the taxpayers, and also had most of her travel costs covered, she still had to use some of her own money for routine food shopping and when she and Obama flew on the taxpayer-provided Air Force One to foreign vacation spots, she had to pay commercial rates to fly her kids with her.

Foul, miserable beast of a “woman.”

Megyn Kelly reminded me: Remember when Obama was being groomed for the presidency and the entire Democrat Party rallied to stuff money in his pockets? For Michelle, the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine phonied-up a fake sinecure for Michelle supposedly working for a hospital. She was paid $200,000 per year or something like that, despite being a very average, no-account (DEI) lawyer.

And yet she complains. She wasn’t given enough free stuff and enough corrupt money. It’s racist that she wasn’t given more.

So once again Michelle Obama, you are the asshole of the week.

NIKE Linked To Trans Study On Children, Trying To Hide From It

They can’t stop stepping on their own dick right now, every step. Leave our children alone.

Nike, the self-proclaimed champion of sports apparel and athletes, has been exposed for funding a horrific study on “trans adolescents” — a term that’s as absurd as it is dangerous.

The New York Times Magazine dropped this bombshell in an April 20 piece about transgender athletes in women’s college sports, and the silence from Nike since then is deafening.

The NYT article, while focused on broader issues like Blaire Fleming — a male playing on the San Jose State women’s volleyball team — buried a disturbing detail about Nike’s involvement in a study on kids. Fleming’s case is a disgrace in itself, and it’s worth noting that a Biden-appointed judge allowed this travesty, ignoring the unfairness to female athletes.

But the real outrage lies in a paragraph buried deep in the NYT story.

Trans researcher Joanna Harper revealed that he’s leading a study of “trans adolescents,” tracking their fitness before and after hormone therapy over five years. When asked about funding, Harper casually admitted that the study is being funded by Nike.

He blamed Trump’s policies on gender-affirming care for delays in “youth treatment,” but the money? That came straight from Nike.

Nike Takes Heat for ‘Never Again’ Ad at London Marathon

Arbeit Macht Frei

Nike is facing backlash after an advertisement was displayed Sunday along the route of the London Marathon, one of the world’s most prominent long-distance races.

The giant billboard for the American athletic footwear and apparel company, held aloft with a crane, read “Never Again. Until Next Year” in black letters with a red backdrop.

“Never again” is a slogan widely associated with the Holocaust, representing a global pledge to prevent similar atrocities from happening. The ad sparked further outrage because “until next year” evoked vows that Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists made to repeat their attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

The ad also appeared three days after Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, known as Yom HaShoah. It was part of a broader Nike campaign aimed at encouraging marathon runners, Ynet News reported Monday.

How China Steals

When I worked with Chris Wong, obviously Chinese, at IBM, he told me the key to understanding how to work with China is simple. They ignore the 10 commandments. That’s right, lie, steal, coven and all the rest of them.

Here’s the result:

China claims that President Trump started the trade war against China by imposing reciprocal tariffs.

What China conveniently omits is that they have been waging a full-scale trade war against America for decades. Not only does China systematically violate just about every term of every trade agreement, they have been stealing trillions worth of American industrial technology and intellectual property.

China Steals at Least $225 Billion Every Year

According to a 2024 report from the House Committee on Homeland Security, China steals between $300 and $600 billion worth of American technology and intellectual property every year. This is in line with findings from a 2017 report from the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property.

If we assume a middle-of-the-road figure, and extrapolate these findings back to 2001, when China joined the World Trade Organization, then we can assume that China has stolen some $9.9 trillion worth of American technology and intellectual property. As we will see below, this does not even encapsulate all the ways that China steals technology.

Perhaps surprisingly, only 29% of espionage targets were military in nature. The vast majority of China’s efforts have been focused on procuring industrial technology, including manufacturing processes, formulas, and designs. This theft costs American businesses at least $180 billion annually.

American businesses also lost out on big profits from counterfeit goods. A report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) notes that 60% of all counterfeit goods sold globally originated in China. The proportion is even higher for America’s consumer market, with 87% of the counterfeit goods sold in America originating in China. This deprives American companies of some $291 billion in lost revenue.

\Another report compiled by the United States Trade Representative discusses theft perpetrated on Chinese e-commerce markets. In particular, this “cause[s] great losses for U.S. Right holders involved in the distribution of a wide array of trademarked products, as well as legitimate film and television programming, music, software, video games, books and journals.”

Although this loss cannot be specifically quantified, it is likely significant. Consider that in 2024 Chinese e-commerce transactions were valued at an estimated $2.16 trillion USD. According to the above reports, approximately 40% of all products sold on these markets were pirated or counterfeit. Thus, we can estimate that these transactions deprived foreign — mostly American — businesses of $864 billion in profits.

How China Steals American Technology

Reports on China’s malfeasance typically focus on espionage and outright corporate theft. However, the main vectors of technological theft are not conventional theft. Instead, China focuses on acquiring ownership stakes in strategic American corporate assets, and strongarms American companies doing business in China.

America runs a large trade deficit with China, worth at least $300 billion per year over the last decade. How does America pay for this deficit? By selling assets and debts — this is called the balance of payments.

Assets include shares – ownership — of American corporations. Chinese investors coordinate to buy shares in American industrial and technology companies. They then use these shares to facilitate the transfer of proprietary technology.

Perhaps this is not technically theft, but it is a coordinated effort by the Chinese state and pseudo-state actors to acquire American technology. Further, these “owners” clearly breach their fiduciary duties to the American companies — once the technology is pillaged, they are free to liquidate their holdings.

The second main vector for technology transfers occur when American companies offshore their production to China. American companies are required to “partner” with a Chinese company, who handles all staffing and operational management of the factory. As a part of this deal, the Americans share their propriety technology with the Chinese company, and train the Chinese workers.

American businesses are happy to trade technology for short-term profits. Of course, this comes back to bite them. Once the Chinese have acquired the technology and knowhow, they often make copycat products and begin competing with their former employer.

A good example of this is the Pearl River Piano Group. They were contracted to build Steinway’s Essex line, lower-end manufactured pianos. After acquiring the technology, industrial capital, and experience in manufacturing pianos, Pearl River rolled out its own copycat lines: Pearl River and Ritmüller. In effect, Steinway created its own competitor.

This is just one example. The reality is that almost all Chinese companies have been built on stolen technology. Huawei, for example, is one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Huawei invented precisely nothing — all the foundational technologies were either “gratuitously” transferred through the above mechanisms, or stolen through outright corporate espionage.

The total amount of technology “stolen” in this way is unquantifiable. Consider that in 1983 most of China was pre-industrial — with economic development lower than that of colonial America. Since then, China’s industrial economy grown to be three times larger than America’s, and in some ways, more advanced.

America needs high and stable tariffs in order to reshore America’s factories, and stem the most egregious vectors of technological theft. If not, then America will continue to feed China until the dragon has grown past the point of taming or slaying.

They’re hiding something: All of Europe was ‘seconds’ away from total blackout…

The recent massive blackout across Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium has sparked new debates about the state of Europe’s energy infrastructure, especially as these countries have moved toward renewable energy.

We’ll get into that shortly…

On Monday, Spain and Portugal experienced a massive power outage. Spain lost about 60 percent of its electricity within about five seconds. France and Belgium were also hit, and everybody experienced some level of disruption to their transportation, communication, and overall daily life.

At first, rumors spread that the blackout was caused by some “rare cosmic phenomenon.” But that was quickly ruled out.

The rare atmospheric phenomena causing power outages across Europe has a name

Investigations have also ruled out cyberattacks and weather-related events. The early findings suggest that a sudden loss in solar power in southwestern Spain is what triggered everything.

Watch:

MASSIVE BLACKOUT IN EUROPE ⚡

This incident shines a light on the growing debate over renewable energy sources and not having proper backup systems.

Think about it: this small little change instantly impacted four countries and nearly brought down two of them.

Take a look:

This is such a fascinating graph. A frequency drop of 0.15Hz was enough to take down Spain and Portugal. pic.twitter.com/tZ1OrITtMU
— andi (e/alb) (@Nexuist) April 28, 2025

Spain is one of Europe’s leaders in renewable energy, with over 75% of its electricity coming from renewable sources at the time of the outage.

Net Zero isn’t reality, but that’s exactly what Spain is pushing.

This is truly bananas: all of Europe appears to have been seconds away a continent-wide blackout.

The grid frequency across continental Europe plunged to 49.85 hertz — just a hair above the red-line collapse threshold.

The normal operating frequency for Europe’s power grid is 50.00 Hz, kept with an extremely tight margin of ±0.1 Hz. Anything outside ±0.2 Hz triggers major emergency actions.

If the frequency had fallen just another 0.3 Hz — below 49.5 Hz — Europe could have suffered a system-wide cascading blackout.

At that threshold, automatic protective relays disconnect major power plants, and collapse accelerates.

And it’s disturbingly easy to imagine multiple scenarios where that could have occurred…

Renewables don’t risk blackouts, said the media. But they did and they do. The physics are simple. And now, as blackouts in Spain strand people in elevators, jam traffic, and ground flights, it’s clear that too little “inertia” due to excess solar resulted in system collapse.

Sounds Like A Teacher Problem, Not A Race Problem

‘All Races Struggle’: Chicago Public Schools Hit With Investigation Over Alleged Racial Discrimination

The Department of Education (ED) opened an investigation into Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Tuesday over allegations the district is violating civil rights by hosting programs that discriminate based on race.

The investigation stems from a complaint filed by educational grassroots organization Defending Education (DE) about a “Black Students Success Plan” hosted by CPS which focuses “on remedial measures only for black students, despite acknowledging that Chicago students of all races struggle academically,” according to ED’s press release.

“Chicago Public Schools have a record of academic failure, leaving students from all backgrounds and races struggling and ill-prepared to meet the challenges and enjoy the rewards of contemporary American life,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for Civil Rights at ED said in a statement. “Rather than address its record honestly, CPS seeks to allocate additional resources to favored students on the basis of race. The Trump-McMahon Department of Education will not allow federal funds, provided for the benefit of all students, to be used in this pernicious and unlawful manner.”

Just another reason to kill the teachers union and the Department of Education. They are failing all students equally

The Downside Of Europeans Trashing America

Newsflash to my European friends — the more you criticize America and the more you marginalize Americans, the quicker you will push the U.S. away from the global stage and closer towards a new form of isolationism and nationalism.

One of the sad facts of life today is that many people in many countries have decided that America is no longer their friend, no longer a reliable partner in NATO and is willing to desert its allies in times of need.

Some are even calling America a rogue nation that is cannibalizing its own Constitution and is on a path towards a dictatorship with a megalomaniac narcissist at the helm.

Here in Europe, where I am, every day, the media in several European nations bring out their “America experts” who routinely characterize the U.S. as an example of everything that is wrong with the world.

They portray the country as anti-family because it won’t enact laws to promote paid family leave for men. They say it is racist because it chooses a meritocracy over racially-biased hiring policies. They don’t understand why the U.S. won’t levy massive taxes on entrepreneurs and risk-takers and they really don’t know why Americans are concerned about protecting their free speech.

In short, they feel that America refuses to adopt a host of policies that only “enlightened societies” (like theirs) see as inviolate.

Unfortunately, many of these same experts tend to be products of universities that have long-standing institutional views on the dangers of working too hard, being too ambitious and too devoted to creating a society based on the power of the individual and on the right of the majority to decide matters of national importance.

Some of these countries’ priorities seem to be rooted in perpetuating their own status quo that aims to protect and preserve their own beliefs that they — and they alone — have all the answers and solutions to society’s problems and challenges.

While this is not unusual for any country that wants to safeguard its own values and ideals, it can seem arrogant to other countries, especially when these views are promoted with missionary-like zeal, accompanied by a wagging finger.

Such is the case in the current situation with the United States. It must be said, however, that the U.S. has also been guilty of pushing its views of what constitutes an ideal society onto other countries, especially smaller ones. This has created a long-standing, frustration and simmering anger toward Americans, and this anger has now reached the boiling point after the election of Donald Trump.

His views, remarks and actions, the latest of which is the imposition of massive tariffs which many are calling the first battle of World Trade War I have created widespread animosity and fear among European nations.

Europeans are boycotting American products and are encouraging their national pension funds to disinvest in American companies and to seek out alternatives. Nothing American is safe from attack. Local and national governments are being told by angry constituents that it’s time to throw effective and affordable American software systems like Microsoft products on the dust heap and, instead, find European alternatives.

America-hate has also infected some countries’ defense purchases. Major American defense suppliers are feeling the pushback and are being forced to defend not only the effectiveness of their equipment but also assure Europeans that they will not hit the “kill switches” on sophisticated F-35 aircraft on a whim.

Tourism, too, is taking a hit. Foreign tourism to the U.S. is down, and this is the result of a “culture war” that is playing out, which, in my opinion, is linked to the trade war and that is robbing the dollar of its value, siphoning off industry’s profits and is serving to push America into a corner.

Yet, as everyone knows, when Americans are cornered, they generally fight back. Surrender has never been an option, so what then are the next likely steps if both wars continue simultaneously and apace?

Barring any monumental event or policy change, I would submit that the end result will be an America that chooses to go its own way, effectively taking the country back to the last century when isolationism was a powerful force for Americans. The thought being, “If the rest of the world doesn’t want us, doesn’t like us or our products, fine. We can live with that, but they shouldn’t have our number on speed dial if they want our help.” For globalists, this is the worst possible scenario, today.

The eight decades of friendship that followed the end of the Second World War could be erased quickly, leaving the world’s countries to adopt an “every man for himself” industrial policy.

Without the United States, NATO would collapse or be severely diminished. Bilateral agreements between countries would proliferate, leaving multilateral agreements worthless. Larger predator countries could feel emboldened because of the new disintegration of the old world order that was guaranteed by such multilateral agreements. We could see extra-territorial military incursions be used as test probes to see if other nations would rally to their neighbors’ defense. Current military capabilities of E.U. nations, for example, are insufficient to push back on an advance of say, Russia, against Latvia, which would probably justify its incursion to “protect the Russian-speaking minority” in that country.

Europe could be fighting on multiple “fronts,” some physical like military confrontations and others that are trade-related as countries ramp up domestic production of old industries that have been resurrected to replace the offensive American imports.

Tourism to the U.S. would shrink, dramatically, as would technical, academic and scientific collaboration and other forms of personnel exchange. Visa cooperation between the U.S. and 20 European countries that now enjoy visa-free travel would be suspended. The U.S. tourism industry would survive because of its highly developed destinations and tourism infrastructure, but European tourism would be dealt an expensive blow. U.S. participation in “save the planet” or international energy organizations would be non-existent.

It’s death by a thousand cuts, all because of a lack of understanding.

The unvarnished truth about the reasons for our current troubles with Europe for example, is that the Europeans do not understand what makes America or Americans “tick.”

For many years, they were happy watching America turn towards socialism under eight years of Barack Obama and four years under Joseph Biden. After all, those two presidents and their administrations were more “European-like” and they figured this trend would continue because they thought that most Americans wanted a more social democratic state like their own.

They were wrong.

There are two Americas and anyone who has lived there knows that. Those that haven’t rely on their national news media to paint them a picture that the mostly left-leaning European media believes that its consumers must have in order to perpetuate strongly-held national beliefs in the righteousness and validity of their values. Instead of using a magnifying glass to really see the United States for what it truly is, European media have given their viewers and readers a mirror and an echo chamber that has only strengthened their national bias.

Maybe a trial separation is necessary so that both the U.S. and its allies can truly determine what’s wrong with the relationship(s).

What we must keep in mind, however, is that every separation has real, long-lasting consequences, and depending on the length of the separation, the consequences can be minimal or significant.

Today, our trade patterns are on the table. Tomorrow it could be anything or everything. If we are to move forward and preserve that relationship we must accept the fact that we are different as people and societies, but that those differences should not lead to our downfall. We must work through them and learn why we are who we are and why we do what we do and embrace introspection and eschew condemnation. This is one of those times when Occam’s Razor cannot be employed … at least not until we know more about each other and stop viewing our differences as impediments to progress.

SAVED From The YouTube Purge: Klaus Schwab Admits It All On Video What They Wanted To Do To Us

This video has been deleted all across the internet.

Gone from Twitter…

Gone from YouTube…

I’ve even heard of some being deleted off Bitchute.

But after hours of searching I was able to find it.

It’s the “super edit” of all things said by that creep Klaus Schwab.

Or as some of you have nicknamed him: “Anal Schwab”.

I like that one.

But this really is no laughing matter.

Complete with even the evil German accent, this guy is like someone wrote a super-villain for a Hollywood movie and he somehow got loose in the real world.

Who says these kinds of things?

If you have ever doubted that they want to create a mass genocide of the human population and “reduce the population to 500 million” (see Georgia Guidestones) look no further that what this guy is saying publicly.

He probably thought we’d never piece it all together.

They like to “hide in plain sight”.

Too bad we’re paying attention now and millions of people have now been Red Pilled.

Can’t hide in plain sight any longer.

Folks, let me say it plainly: all the events you see playing out right now on the world stage are not random chance.

They’re not just due to some “bad actors”.

They’re staged in advance, carefully crafted.

Listen to what he says in this video: the change is crafted!

He also admits how he controls cabinets and governments all over the world! Just like we’ve told you! All caught on video!

They plot all this evil, all the sickness, all the wars….all to bring about the “change” they want. The “chaos” they want. It’s all deliberate.

And you and I pay the price.

Why The Weather Warming Is Good For Humans

Notice I didn’t say climate because global warming is a lie, a money laundering tool that is losing steam (see what I did there?)

Anyway, from Watts Up With That, why warming up is better than cooling.

Here in England this spring, there was dry, sunny weather through most of March, followed by gentle showers in April. And here is the opening couplet of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Tales of Caunterbury, written more than six centuries ago in 1387:

From the medieval climate optimum to the modern climate optimum, the weather in these islands has changed scarcely at all. The drought of March, the sweet April showers, the birdsong day and night, the bursting forth of primroses, bluebells, daffodils and other spring flowers, all are today just as Chaucer described them in the Middle Ages.

The wine-dark sea

One can even go back to Homer, in the 8^th Century BC, who talked of the Mediterranean as “the wine-dark sea”. And here am I, almost three millennia later, recently recovered from a long illness caused by defective medication with no active ingredient in it, having climbed to the 1230ft summit of the Akamas peninsula in Cyprus, doing a Canute and challenging the wine-dark sea not to rise. The sea was wine-dark in Homer’s time. It is still wine-dark today.

Where, then, are the drastic changes in climate and consequent catastrophes and cataclysms so luridly predicted by the climate Communists? Where are the mass extinctions? Why is the climate much as it was in the Middle Ages? Why are ten times as many dying of cold as of heat? Why are crop yields at record highs? Why is the planet greening so fast?

Cold, not heat, is the real killer

Silvio Canto Jr., at the splendid American Thinker blog, reminds us that “Earth Day” began on Lenin’s birthday, 22 April. He sets out some examples of the half-witted predictions made by the totalitarian far Left in the early 1970s, when the “green holy day” started:

Paul Ehrlich, in a 1969 essay entitled Eco-Catastrophe!, wrote: “Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born. By [1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”

In April 1970 he wrote in Mademoiselle: “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years”.

In the 1970 Earth Day issue of The Progressive, he sketched out his most alarmist scenario, telling readers that between 1980 and 1989 some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in what he called the “Great Die-Off.”

In the May 1970 issue of Audubon, he wrote that DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons “may have substantially reduced the life expectancy of people born since 1945.” He said that Americans born since 1946 now had a life expectancy of only 49 years, and he predicted that if current patterns continued this expectancy would reach 42 years by 1980, when it might level out. According to the most recent CDC report, life expectancy in the US is 78.6 years.

That year he predicted that “air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone”. He predicted that 200,000 Americans would die by 1973 during “smog disasters” in New York and Los Angeles.

Five years later he predicted that “Since more than nine-tenths of the original tropical rainforests will be removed in most areas within the next 30 years or so [i.e., by 2005], it is expected that half of the organisms in these areas will vanish with it.”

Kenneth Watt, an ecologist, said: “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate … that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill ’er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, ‘I’m very sorry, there isn’t any.’” Global oil production in 2024, at about 95 million barrels per day, was double the global oil output of 48 million barrels per day at the time of the first Earth Day in 1970.

He gave a speech predicting a pending Ice Age: “The world has been chilling sharply for about 20 years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an Ice Age.”

He also told Time that “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.”

Barry Commoner, a Washington University biologist, wrote in the Earth Day issue of Environment: “We are in an environmental crisis that threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.”

He also predicted that decaying organic pollutants would consume all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, suffocating freshwater fish.

George Wald, a Harvard biologist, estimated that “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years [by 1985 or 2000] unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

The New York Times, on its editorial page the day after the first Earth Day, wrote: “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”

Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, wrote in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness: “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.”

Peter Gunter, a professor at North Texas State University, wrote in 1970: “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China, the Near East and Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions… By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” The prediction of famine in South America has come to pass only in Venezuela and only due to socialism, not due to environmental reasons.

Life Magazine reported in January 1970: “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution … by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching Earth by one half.”

Harrison Brown, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated that humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000, while lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990.

Senator Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look: “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

None of these lurid fantasies, mere pretexts for totalitarian control measures, has materialized.

While I have been ill, I have been quietly working on our team’s climatological research. For an update on our result, now published as an extended abstract after peer review, search YouTube for “Tom Nelson Monckton”.

I have also had long and detailed conversations with two Fellows of the Royal Society, who are justifiably concerned at the Society’s propensity to promulgate only the official narrative on questions such as global warming and are preparing to do something about it.

We have already notched up a useful initial victory. Several Communist Fellows had decided that now that Elon Musk is for some reason no longer a hero of the Left they should call a meeting of the Royal Society to strip him of his Fellowship.

Again, this is a tribute to Denny, the Grouchy Old Cripple who left us a few years ago.

This week was easy. The most self-absorbed and least deserving person of what she has practically announced she was the Asshole of the Week on her podcast. She lived the high life and wasted millions of taxpayer’s dollars on her vacations. She contributed almost nothing except hate, racism, horrible tasting unhealthy lunches for school kids, and divisiveness. She sure as hell didn’t love the country.

I give you Michelle Obama:

Michelle Obama has finally revealed the real reason she skipped President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, and it’s every bit as shallow as you’d expect from someone of her caliber.

In a recent episode of her podcast she co-hosts with her brother, “IMO With Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson,” she admitted that her absence wasn’t just about principle — it was about her wardrobe.

She had the audacity to say, “It started with not having anything to wear.”

Let that sink in. A former first lady, with access to the best designers in the world, claims she couldn’t attend an historic event because she didn’t have the right outfit.

This is the second time Michelle’s absence has been justified, and it’s somehow worse than the first attempt, when her team leaked that she’s “not one to plaster on a pleasant face and pretend for protocol’s sake.”

That excuse was bad enough, reeking of self-righteousness, but this new wardrobe confession takes her hubris to a whole new level of absurdity.

She doubled down on her vanity, saying, “I mean, I had affirmatively, cause I’m always prepared for any funeral, anything.”

So, she’s prepared for funerals — events that honor the dead — but a presidential inauguration, a cornerstone of the American republic, isn’t worth the effort?

Her reasoning gets even more infuriating as she explains, “I walk around with the right dress, I travel with clothes just in case something pops off.”

This isn’t just vanity — it’s a calculated display of privilege, where she admits to always being ready for appearances, but not for duty.

She continued, “So I was like, if I’m not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team, I don’t even want to have a dress ready, right? Because it’s so easy to just say, let me do the right thing.”

The “right thing” here would have been showing up, setting aside personal disdain for the sake of her country, but Michelle couldn’t be bothered.

You can watch the whole infuriating interview below, with the relevant remarks beginning around the 43-minute mark:

Rep. James Clyburn Blames the Democrats’ Problems on the Media Not Being Friendly Enough to Them

This is why people don’t trust politicians. This isn’t even a good lie. No one covers more for democrats and/or blacks than the media. Let’s not forget that this is the guy who delivered the Black vote for Biden when Bernie was winning in exchange for black women everything, from SCOTUS to the FAA.

How he can say this is why we should have term limits.

Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on MSNBC this weekend and claimed that Democrats are having problems because the media isn’t doing enough to carry their message to the people.

Yeah, right. Everyone knows that the media is famously in the tank for the Republican Party. Amazingly, this story is even real.

Newsmax reports:

Rep. Clyburn Blames Media for Democrats’ Dropping Ratings

The media is to blame for the Democratic Party’s dropping approval ratings because reporters won’t share its messaging, according to Rep. James Clyburn.

“I think the message from the Democratic Party is a good one,” the South Carolina Democrat told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, reports The Hill on Saturday. “The problem we’ve got, I’ll say, is that we have to depend on the media to deliver it.”

Clyburn’s comments came after a question from Velshi, host of “The Last Word,” who on Friday told the lawmaker that the perception of a lack of messaging from the party is leading voters to lose faith, particularly after the losses in the 2024 election.

The congressman, said The Washington Post is a good example of the messaging issue, pointing to the relationship between its owner, Jeff Bezos, and President Donald Trump.

“We have The Washington Post, for instance, caving to this wannabe dictator and we’ve got other media entities that seem to rather push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers or their television sets and not really give a fair hearing or reporting to what we’re doing,” Clyburn said.

Polls are showing dropping approval ratings for the Democratic Party.

Klaus Schwab Steps Down From Leading The Axis Of Evil, AKA The WEF

If you listen to him talk, you can hear the SS in Germany in the 1940’s. They want to rule the world. These are the, you’ll own nothing and love it while we feed you bugs assholes.

Anyway, there is a chart below that names the Satan worshipers who run the WEF. I found Al Gore, but not John Kerry. The rest of the world they are trying to dominate is there.

Here goes:

On the same day Pope Francis—known for his inclusive beliefs—passed away, another globalist fell: Klaus Schwab, the architect of the World Economic Forum’s dystopian agenda, announced he was stepping down from the WEF board. It marks the end of an era for Schwab, who championed radical wokeness, bug eating, mass vaccination campaigns, population control, and climate de-growth policies through what often resembled digital communism—social credit scores, central bank digital currencies, and many more China-like policies. Meanwhile, cultural shifts across the Americas signal a rising movement toward traditional values, sending the WEF’s ideological woke grip on governments, non-government organizations, corporations, the church, and society into disarray.

“Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect,” Schwab wrote in a statement.

Schwab stepped down as executive chairman one year ago (read: here), with former Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende taking over daily operations. WEF said Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was appointed board chairman in the interim and that a search committee for replacement had been appointed.

WEF stated:

“At a time when the world is undergoing rapid transformation, the need for inclusive dialogue to navigate complexity and shape the future has never been more critical. The Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum underlines the importance of remaining steadfast in its mission and values as a facilitator of progress. Building on its trusted role, the Forum will continue to bring together leaders from all sectors and regions to exchange insights and foster collaboration.”

Might recognize some of the WEF’s board members…

Schwab’s resignation also comes three months after President Trump told globalist CEOs at the WEF’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, “America is back.” It also follows Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, which nuked USAID programs that funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into corrupt NGOs.

Listen to him talk. I was waiting for the word Fuhrer to come out.

Klaus Schwab now admits that we're seeing a political revolution against his Great Reset plans.

Whether you want to believe it or not, he's finished. He might still be standing, but he's done.

He took his shot, went all in, and he was denied…

The only thing I can’t figure out is where they stand with the CCP. For them to take over the world, they have to deal with the other Hell bound leaders, the Chinese Government. I wonder where the Muslim’s weigh in on this crap. They worship Satan also.

Muslim’s, Still Destroying Everything They Touch For Over A Thousand Years

The equation is always the same. Invade a country by immigration, refuse to assimilate, then force their ways on others by terror, especially women.

Muslims guilty of trying to murder an entire town in France

And now the UK will be vying with Sweden to be the rape capital of the world

‘250K white British girls raped over 25 years – 90% by Muslims’: Viral video explained…

A video featuring Lord Malcolm Pearson of Rannoch has resurfaced, reigniting discussions about the UK’s grooming gang scandals – which are real.

In the clip, Pearson claims that approximately 250,000 young white British girls have been victims of rape and sexual abuse by Pakistani Muslim men over the past 25 years. He criticizes the use of the term “Asian” to describe these perpetrators, saying it’s a PC shield that hides the truth about the “religion of peace.”

The video is going viral again, so we wanted to look into it and see where that 250,000 number came from. It’s not easy to verify exact numbers when it comes to migrant crime—mainly because so many officials have been working overtime to cover it up for political reasons. But what we found comes from the site Full Fact, which breaks down the numbers from cases like Rotherham, Telford, and Newcastle.

Some widely shared posts on social media—including one shared on X by the platform’s owner, the businessman Elon Musk—have claimed that more than a million children have been victims of “grooming gangs” in the UK. We’ve also seen different estimates for the number of victims circulating, such as a figure of over 250,000.

We know that the sexual abuse of children is common, and often unreported. It is clear that thousands of children, many of them vulnerable, have been subject to appalling abuse by loosely defined networks of offenders, often known as “grooming gangs”, in cities and towns across the UK.

We have not been able to find a reliable estimate for the total number of victims, however. We therefore cannot say whether the figures quoted in these posts are right or wrong.

In short, Lord Pearson’s numbers are an estimate based on real cases like Rotherham, where at least 1,400 girls were abused between 1997 and 2013. Telford had over 1,000. Newcastle saw around 700. And those are just the towns that made headlines. Official reports admit the real number could be much higher, but they claim it’s impossible to know for sure—because so many cases were ignored, covered up, or never reported at all.

Surprise: The Thing That Trans Activists Tell Us Basically Never Happens…Just Happened Again

A transgender athlete took home first place in a varsity high jump competition at an Oregon high school meet Wednesday, roughly two years after finishing last while competing against junior varsity boys, according to a report. Lia Rose, who reportedly used to compete as Zachary, won the high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays with a height of 4 feet, 8 inches, beating the second-place finisher by two inches. According to athletic.net, while competing against JV boys May 3, 2023, Zachary Rose finished 11th out of 11 competitors with a jump of 4 feet, 6 inches. The winning height in that meet was another foot higher…Lia’s victory comes roughly two weeks after Ada Gallagher, a trans track athlete in the Portland area, blew out the competition. Gallagher, a state champion last year, finished at 57.62 in the 400 meters, with Franklin High School’s Kinnaly Souphanthong coming in second at 1:05.72. Gallagher’s teammate, Quinnan Schaefer, was behind Souphanthong at 1:07.13.

there is now men’s sports, and a category for everyone else who wants a trophy regardless of whether you were born with a did or vagina.

Can’t Beat The Boys? Go Kick Ass On Girls – Male athlete wins girls’ high jump competition despite finishing dead last when competing against boys

A male athlete took first place in a high school high jump competition for girls last week, just a few days after the Department of Education launched a federal investigation into the school district.

Zachary Rose, who now goes by “Lia” (or sometimes “Liaa”), is a student from Ida B. Wells high school in Portland, Oregon. Last Wednesday, Rose won the girls’ varsity high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays. Rose beat the second-place finishers by two inches with a height of 4 feet and 8 inches, a personal record. The second-place height was achieved by three different girls, two of whom were from Rose’s high school.

What makes the scenario more appalling is the fact that Rose, while competing against boys in the junior varsity category in 2023, finished in last place in a competition of 11 boys.

Rose’s jump in the boys’ competition was 4 feet and 6 inches; that same score would have won the girls’ competition last week had Rose not competed. It is also interesting to point out that the shortest jump in the boys’ JV competition equates to the highest jump in the girls’ varsity competition, showcasing the stark advantage that the male has against females.

Well, Harvard Students Don’t Have To Worry About Getting Jobs At These Firms Now, Dumbasses

Different kind of paper chase: In the wake of Oct. 7, a handful of Big Law firms criticized anti-Semitic protests at Ivy League law schools like Harvard and threatened to stop recruiting graduates from those schools. Now, the Harvard Law students who helped drive the protests are getting their “revenge.”

Harvard Law School’s chapter of the National Lawyers Guild recently hosted a “Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon.” Student activists gathered to “edit the Wikipedia pages of Big Law firms,” according to an announcement on Harvard Law School’s website. And while event organizers said they would target firms that argued cases they deemed unsavory, one participant, law student Aashna Avachat, took aim at two firms, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, that criticized anti-Semitism at Harvard.

“The edit logs show Avachat changed the term ‘antisemitic incidents’ to ‘pro-Palestine protests’ and reworded references to ‘incidents targeting Jewish students’ to incidents that the law firms ‘described … as antisemitic,'” reports our Chuck Ross. “Avachat herself was involved in one incident at Harvard in which her law school classmate, Ibrahim Bharmal, accosted and shoved a Jewish student during an anti-Israel ‘die-in.’ Avachat said she witnessed the incident and claimed Bharmal was protecting ‘peaceful protesters’ against an ‘aggressive’ Jewish student. Both Bharmal and another student activist, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, were charged in connection with the ‘die-in,’ a case that Harvard delayed by refusing to cooperate with local prosecutors.”

Ten Environmentalist Myths

Here we go again, exposing the truth about one of the biggest scams the government has come up with to launder money since war.

(1) We are in a climate crisis

We may as well begin with the most controversial environmentalist claim, that our planet is at imminent risk of catastrophic climate change. The problem with this claim is two-fold. First, there remains vigorous—if suppressed—debate over whether the data actually supports this claim. There is ample evidence that average global temperatures are not rapidly increasing, if they are even increasing at all. There is also strong evidence that extreme weather events are not increasing but rather that our ability to detect them has improved and that population increases have led more people to live in places that are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather. Second, even if there is some truth to the claims of climate catastrophists, it is not possible to precipitously transform our entire energy infrastructure. The technology isn’t ready, the funding isn’t available, and most nations will not participate. Adaptation is our only rational course of action.

(2) There are too many people

Based on extrapolations back in 1970, this may have appeared to be the case because populations worldwide at that time were rapidly growing. But today, in almost every nation, the inverse is now true: birthrates are well below replacement levels. Even in those nations that continue to experience rapid population growth, the rate of growth is following the same pattern of decline. The United Nations now estimates the total global population to top out at around 10 billion people, after which it is projected to decline. This means the rapid population growth we’ve seen over the past two centuries, where the global population octupled from 1 billion in 1804 to over 8 billion by 2024, is over. There is not one trend anywhere on earth that contradicts this pattern. Humanity faces a future of too few people, not too many.

(3) We are running out of “fossil” fuel

While this is technically correct, the situation is nowhere close to what was famously predicted in 1956 by American geologist M. Hubbert, who claimed oil production in the U.S. would peak by 1970 and then slide into permanent decline. In the U.S. and around the world, new technologies and new discoveries have put total reserves of oil, along with natural gas and coal, at record highs despite increasing demand. According to the authoritative Statistical Review on Global Energy, based on current consumption, proven reserves could supply oil for 61 years, natural gas for 50, and coal for 208. This grossly understates the big picture, however, because proven and recoverable reserves are being expanded all the time. “Unproven” reserves, waiting to be discovered, will easily double the amount of time left. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t continue to research new sources of energy. But we have a century or more to sort this out.

(4) Biofuel is renewable and sustainable

Nothing could be further from the truth. Biofuel will never supply more than a small fraction of our energy requirements, and attempts to scale it beyond a niche product have produced catastrophic results. Just to use California as an example, the current yield of ethanol from a corn crop stands at not quite 500 gallons per acre. Californians consumed 13.6 billion gallons of gasoline in 2023. Since ethanol has 33 percent less energy per gallon than conventional gasoline, that means replacing gasoline with carbon-neutral ethanol would require 20.3 billion gallons of ethanol production, which in turn would require 63,400 square miles of irrigated farmland and over 120 million acre-feet of water per crop. To put this in perspective, California’s entire expanse of irrigated farmland only totals around 14,000 square miles, and California’s entire agricultural sector only consumes around 30 million acre-feet of water per year. Worldwide, biofuel crops already consume an estimated 500,000 square miles while only offsetting 2 percent of the global consumption of transportation fuel.

(5) Offshore wind energy is renewable and sustainable

Absolutely not. Wind turbine blades, on land or offshore, routinely kill raptors, condors, and other magnificent endangered birds, along with bats and insects. Offshore, there are additional harmful impacts. Electromagnetic fields from undersea cables produce birth deformities in marine life and produce magnetic fields that disrupt the orientation abilities of some fish. Their low-frequency operational noise disrupts sounds made by fish for mating, spawning, and navigating. The turbines “increase sea surface temperatures and alter upper-ocean hydrodynamics in ways scientists do not yet understand” and “whip up sea sediment and generate highly turbid wakes that are 30-150 meters wide and several kilometers in length, having a major impact on primary production by phytoplankton, which are the base of marine food chains.” California’s official plan is to install 25,000 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity in floating wind farms 20 miles offshore. At 10 megawatts each, California’s treasured marine ecosystem will be disrupted by the presence of somewhere between 2,500 floating wind turbines, each one nearly 1,000 feet high. They will need 7,500 tethering cables descending 4,000 feet to the seafloor, along with 2,500 high-voltage cables. Expect ratepayers and taxpayers to subsidize a project that could cost $300 billion or more to build systems that may only have a lifespan of 10-20 years.

(6) Renewables are renewable

No. They’re not. Renewables most in favor with environmentalists are solar and wind farms with battery farms to store the intermittently generated electricity. Just the consumption of natural resources to build these renewables is hardly sustainable. For example, using data from the International Energy Agency, geopolitical writer Peter Ziehan calculated the mineral requirements for power generation, comparing renewables to natural gas in terms of kilograms of minerals per megawatt of capacity. Offshore wind: 16,000 kg/MW, onshore wind: 10,000 kg/MW, solar photovoltaic: 7,000 kg/MW, and natural gas: 2,000 kg/MW. Compounding this disparity is the fact that natural gas power plants can operate for 60 years or more, whereas solar installations are operable for 30 years at most, and wind turbines substantially less than that, depending on where they’re situated. As for EVs, Ziehan calculated kilograms of minerals per vehicle, with EVs requiring over 200 kg/vehicle, compared to conventional cars at only 35 kg/vehicle. It’s easy enough to see what this means. Replacing conventional energy with “renewables” has ignited an expansion of worldwide mining in nations with minimal environmental protections.

(7) Renewables can replace fossil fuels

Not anytime soon. Worldwide, in 2022, 82 percent of global energy was still derived from fossil fuels. For everyone on earth to consume half as much energy per capita as Americans, global energy production will have to double. Based on those two cold facts, fossil fuels are going to be around for a very long time. Even these statistics understate the challenge. In 2023, most of the non-fossil fuel energy produced was from either nuclear (4.0 percent) or hydroelectric (6.8 percent) sources, leaving only 7.5 percent from allegedly renewable sources. And of the remaining 7.5 percent “renewables,” two-thirds of it was biofuel production, which should not be considered renewable or, at the very least, must be considered already at maximum capacity. That leaves only about 2.5 percent of worldwide energy production coming from renewables, if you want to call them that, primarily wind, solar, and geothermal sources.

(8) New housing must be confined to the footprint of existing cities

This is not true for California, nor for the United States, and not even worldwide. Nonetheless, urban containment has been enforced in California ever since we stopped investing in expanding our energy, water, and transportation infrastructure, resulting in 94 percent of the population living on only 5 percent of the land. But urban containment isn’t necessary to ensure enough farm production. Even India, the most densely populated large nation on earth, where there are 2,700 people per square mile of farmland, is a net food exporter. In California, the alleged need for urban containment is truly ridiculous. Building new homes for ten million new California residents on quarter-acre lots, with four-person households, and allocating an equivalent amount for schools, parks, roads, and retail and commercial areas would only consume 1,953 square miles. This would only increase California’s urban footprint from 7,800 to 9,700 square miles, i.e., from 5.0 percent to 6.2 percent of all land in the state. The global trend is people voluntarily migrating to cities at the same time as the global population is expected to begin to decline within a few decades. There will be plenty of room for farms and wilderness even if cities are permitted to expand. Keeping cities bottled up is misanthropic and misguided, creating artificially high home prices and unwanted overcrowding.

(9) Mass transit is necessary to achieve sustainability

It’s hard to imagine a claim more at odds with reality. Mass transit works in extremely dense urban areas where most jobs are located in a central core. With rare exceptions, such as Manhattan, most metropolitan areas no longer have this hub-and-spoke model, which renders economically viable mass transit extremely difficult. Then there are the challenges introduced during the COVID pandemic, which drove millions of riders out of mass transit to either commute in private cars or work from home. Ridership never recovered. An additional barrier to the readoption of mass transit is the fact that most cities are unwilling to police and remove disruptive individuals from the buses and trains, rendering their systems too dangerous for potential passengers to consider. Finally, along with now-mature work-from-home technology that is only going to improve, we have innovations just around the corner that will enable smart cars to convoy at higher speeds, increasing the capacity of existing roads, as well as a revolution in passenger drones that will take additional pressure off roads. Why would someone ride mass transit when they can relax while their own smart vehicle drives them point-to-point with no interruptions? And why should taxpayers subsidize mass transit?

(10) Wilderness areas are sacred

This mantra has caused more harm than good to the wilderness. Litigation pursuant to the Endangered Species Act has severely restricted, if not put a complete stop to, logging on public land, although the current White House administration is trying to change that. Since then, over the past 40 years, because fires were suppressed and logging didn’t remove new growth, our forests have become overgrown, resulting in catastrophic fires. Similarly, ESA litigation and environmentalist-inspired regulations put a stop to dredging in California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which was the only way to maintain deep, cool channels favored by salmon ever since the construction of levees in the 1800s caused silt deposits to accumulate in what remained of their migration routes. It is important to protect truly endangered species, but environmentalists often create bigger problems. Poverty in Africa could be alleviated if environmental restrictions on energy development were lifted. But as it is, in desperate poverty, Africans are cutting down their forests for firewood, hunting wild game for food, and poaching dwindling herds of elephants, rhinos, lions, and other precious and endangered species for sale to international smugglers. How we manage our wilderness must be revisited with a reality-based emphasis on results, not ideology. Moreover, an encouraging fact is that while total forest cover in the world was in decline for many centuries, over the past 40 years, it has been increasing. This is the result of several factors: reforestation efforts, migration to urban areas, which depopulates forest regions; huge improvements in agricultural productivity, which takes farmland out of production, allowing for forests to reclaim the land; and maybe even slightly elevated atmospheric CO₂, which is plant food.

The ideals of environmentalism ought to inspire everyone, but the policies promulgated in the name of environmentalism are all too often actually hurting the environment. Examples are the mad rush to develop renewables and the power of the “climate crisis” narrative to deter rational cost/benefit analysis of environmentalist policies. The impact of misguided environmentalism is not merely the fate of wildlife and wilderness or the health of global ecosystems. It is also economic and, in practice, has led to profound transfers of wealth as entrenched special interests thrive on escalating regulations that only the biggest corporations and wealthiest individuals can navigate. Worldwide, entire industrial sectors are consolidated, costing nations the resilience and affordability that a diverse and competitive economy can deliver. Environmentalism, as it is practiced in the 21st century, is an arm of globalism, with shades of paternalism and colonialism that often overshadow its virtues.

The Problem With Harvard Graduates

I worked with them. They only thought they were smart. We knew they weren’t and did what we had to get the job done and keep them out of the process. Whatever they recommended was almost always a waste of time.

The Biggest Scientific Fraud Ever

I’d argue that the Covid jab is close, as was the Covid cover story, but nevertheless

I had to work in sustainability at IBM. I knew it was a load of shit from premise to people. It was a money laundering scheme from the getgo as well as a religion for those who don’t want to believe in God.

More Predictions Proving The Real Truth About (The Lie Of) Climate Change

The Paris Climate Accord is not much of a deal anymore, in large part because it’s hard to fix the climate if nothing stops China. In other words, we finally came to terms with the reality that China and India are polluting the air a lot more than the Western countries who couldn’t wait to sign it.

The language has changed, too. You may remember when we called it global warming. Everything now is “climate change,” a convenient way of blaming everything on the climate.

Last, but not least, what killed the climate change cult is all of those predictions that turned out to be false. How many times can you get it wrong? I guess a million if you are making predictions about warming and cooling. Let’s remember some of the biggest hits:

1) In 1970, S. Dillon Ripley, a wildlife conservationist who served as secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, warned that 75 percent to 80 percent of species would be extinct by 1995. Wrong.

2) In 1970, Kenneth Watt, an ecologist and professor at the University of California, Davis, warned that “there won’t be any more crude oil,” that “none of our land will be usable” for agriculture, and the world would be 11 degrees colder by the year 2000. False.

3) In 1970, biologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University warned that by the end of the decade up to 200 million people would die each year from starvation due to overpopulation, life expectancy would plummet to 42 years, and all ocean life would perish. Extremely false.

4) In 1970, Peter Gunter, a professor at North Texas State University, predicted that “world population will outrun food supplies” and “the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine” by the year 2000. Didn’t happen.

5) In 1971, Dr. S. I. Rasool, an atmospheric scientist at NASA, predicted the coming of a “new ice age” within 50 years. Incorrect.

As I recall, the one about the coming ice age made the cover of Newsweek or Time. It had me wondering if they would have to cancel baseball or force every city to build a dome stadium.

Check out more hits:

6) In 1975, Ehrlich, the Stanford biologist, warned that 90 percent of tropical rainforests and 50 percent of species would disappear within 30 years. Erroneous.

7) In 1988, Hussein Shihab, environmental affairs director of the Maldives, warned that his island nation would be completely underwater within 30 years, which wouldn’t even matter because experts also predicted the Maldives would run out of drinking water by 1992. False.

8) In 2004, a Pentagon analysis warned of global anarchy due to climate change. Major European cities would be underwater by 2020, at which point Britain would suffer from a “Siberian” climate. Extremely false.

As it turned out, Britain never got a Siberian winter, but they do have a lot of immigrants who hate everything about the country. They didn’t run out of water in the Maldives, either, but a lot of people are going there for vacation. Maybe they drink bottled water in all of those fancy resorts.

And we round out the list with two more:

9) In 2008, Bob Woodruff of ABC News hosted a two-hour climate change special warning that New York City could be underwater by 2015, among other apocalyptic predictions. Didn’t happen.

10) In 2009, former vice president and climate activist Al Gore predicted the Arctic Ocean would have no ice by 2014, which is the same thing Greta Thunberg said would happen by 2022. Nope.

Well, New York City did not go underwater, but it’s a horrible place to live as more people bail out from high taxes. And V.P. Gore and Greta will likely not live to see the end of ice on the Arctic Ocean. We also have not yet lived to see a Gore presidency, which was the best part of the story.

So yes, there is something in the air, because climate talk is not what it used to be. I guess that’s what shutting down power plants and making bad predictions will do to a movement.

It’s a fucking lie and always has been.

Poll: Majority of Democrats Say Party Lacks a Clear Leader

Bill Clinton was on the Epstein express too many times and Hillary is a loser. Obama faded after exposing himself as a hater and a racist. There isn’t anyone in the bullpen but a bunch of nobody’s who spout stupid shit to anyone who will listen.

The Democrat Party lacks a clear leader, a recent weekly survey from the Economist/YouGov revealed.

The survey simply asked respondents, “Would you say the Democratic Party has a clear leader?”

The vast majority (66 percent) said “no,” Democrats do not have a clear leader at this point. Another 27 percent remain unsure. Only seven percent said “yes.”

Notably, most Democrats — in this instance — are self-aware, as most (58 percent) admit that they do not have a clear leader at the moment. Only 17 percent of Democrats said they did, in fact, have a leader. Sixty-six percent of liberals agree that Democrats do not have a clear leader. Most Republicans and independents, 81 percent and 59 percent respectively, also agree.

The survey was taken March 22-25, 2025, among 1,600 respondents and has a +/- 3.4 percent margin of error.

The lack of clear leadership has opened the door for less well-known Democrats to make waves. One in particular is Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who lacked name recognition until very recently, clawing her way to the top of a broken party by making controversial remarks and participating in cringe social media videos, making everyone aware that she is “resisting” President Donald Trump’s agenda.

I find it disgusting and hypocritical that liberal activists and troublemakers are now damaging or destroying Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations across the nation.

In another reminder that “liberalism is a mental disorder” that has no age limits, an Idaho senior citizen has been charged with felony battery after mowing down a pro-Trump counter-protester at an anti-Elon Musk protest.

Christopher Talbot, 70, made “an obscene gesture” at a 49-year-old victim before hitting him with his car on Saturday, the Meridian Police Department said in a statement, per the Idaho Statesman.

“Reports indicate the victim had been driving a truck with pro-Trump flags and had just parked and exited his vehicle when Talbot struck him with his car,” police said.

“The victim drove himself to a local hospital, where he was treated and released for non-life-threatening injuries.”

At the time, around 30 left-wing agitators had gathered at an Idaho Tesla dealership to protest Musk. Meanwhile, 200 “counterprotesters” arrived to support Musk.

Talbot was arrested, charged with aggravated battery with use of a deadly weapon or instrument, and booked at a county jail.

“The Meridian Police Department reminds people to respect everyone’s right to protest and express their 1st Amendment Rights without resorting to violence,” police said.

Musk Trolls Soros Operatives Who Are Paid To Show Up to Democrat Functions

Elon Musk masterfully called out a likely paid leftist operative on Sunday night while speaking at a Supreme Court election rally in Wisconsin, saying, “It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience.”

Musk appeared at a get-out-the-vote rally in Green Bay before Tuesday’s crucial Supreme Court race that could change the direction of the country if the Democrats get their way and redistrict the state.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) discussed the importance of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election with DNC Chair Ken Martin, highlighting their ambition to gerrymander and give the Democrats additional House Seats.

If a liberal Supreme Court majority is maintained, Democrats will also have the opportunity to eliminate all abortion restrictions and block any conservative legislation passed by a future Republican-controlled state legislature.

While Musk was speaking, an infiltrator began shouting from the crowd, and he was met with loud boos from Republican rally-goers.

Musk hilariously called out the “Soros operative” and told him to “give my regards to George.”

“Say hi to George for me,” Musk continued.

The crowd then broke out, chanting, “USA, USA, USA!” Musk laughed and added, “Yep, I mean, it was inevitable.”

The Democrats’ astroturfed demonstrations against Elon Musk are becoming increasingly apparent, as nationwide protests against Elon Musk and Tesla spontaneously popped up at over 200 Tesla showrooms on Saturday. As recently revealed by cell phone GPS data, most of these protesters and people who attend rallies for Democrats coincidentally all frequent Kamala Harris rallies and violent BLM or Antifa riots. It’s almost like they don’t have a job besides showing up for protests, which is likely the case.

Eating Their Own: Communists at Jacobin Resurrect Old Article to Target Barack Obama’s Legacy

The circular firing squads on the left and in the Democrat Party are only just beginning. Trump has only been in office for a couple of months and already AOC and John Fetterman are fighting, every leftist in the world — specifically those in Hollywood — hates Chuck Schumer, and former Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is enjoying some delicious schadenfreude with her erstwhile colleagues over their hypocrisy about the filibuster.

It’s only a matter of time before AOC and the left’s ‘new hotness’ Jasmine Crockett have a showdown and whoa Nellie, there are going to be some fireworks when that happens.

Amis all of this chaos on the left, we’re not sure why the communists at Jacobin decided to resurrect a four-year-old article blasting Barack Obama and his legacy, but maybe they were thinking (as The Cranberries once said), ‘Everyone else is doing it so why can’t we?’

By the way, when we call the writers at Jacobin ‘communists,’ that’s not us trying to insult them. That’s what they say about themselves. They use the word ‘socialists,’ but they celebrate communism on their website pretty much every day, including regular paeans to Vladimir Lenin. Even MSNBC’s Chris Hayes (or is that Rachel Maddow?) called them far-left extremists. He meant it as a compliment.

These communist tendencies are on full display in the 2021 article that Jacobin pushed on Twitter yesterday. They blast Obama for having a lavish party during Covid, but they blast the lavishness, not the hypocrisy. They HATE that he has luxury estates in Martha’s Vinyard AND Hawaii, of course, which they call ‘tumors.’ And they rip him for tanking Bernie Sanders’ presidential aspirations. But here is the crux of their criticism in calling Obama ‘one of the worst ex-presidents ever’:

US City Tears Down Its SJW George Floyd Memorial To A Criminal And Drug Felon

A memorial to the man whose death sparked a summer of madness five years ago is being destroyed, but that isn’t the end of the story.

On Friday, social media platform X user End Wokeness posted a video of a wall bearing a painting of George Floyd being torn down in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The mural depicting Floyd the criminal and others can be seen collapsing as an excavator pulls it down from behind. He had a fatal dose of Fentanyl in him and had robbed a convenience store. He was a thug and anything but a facade to raise money so that the head of BLM could buy mansions and give nothing back to the black community. They helped no one

Floyd is the Minneapolis man who died after being detained by police in May 2020. His death was followed by riots nationwide that laid waste to huge areas of American cities, causing billions of dollars in damage.

A veteran Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, was convicted of murder in the case.

The wall bearing Floyd’s picture was located on Fleet Block, which the Salt Lake Tribune describes as “disused 10-acre site on the edge of the Granary District that is home to potent street murals depicting people killed by police.”

The demolition is part of a redevelopment project in which, according to the Tribune, “the run-down Fleet Block is envisioned for the future as a vibrant mixed-use public square benefiting the surrounding neighborhood with housing, community amenities, open spaces and a dedicated memorial honoring its history.”

New Study Destroys Major Tenet of Climate Cultism by Confirming Carbon Dioxide is a Life-Essential Gas

One of the major issues I have had with “climate change” reporting is that articles portray carbon dioxide as “toxic”.

This assertion is a blatant lie, as I have often stated in discussing this issue at Legal Insurrection.

One of the biggest purveyors of this inanity was the Biden administration’s team at the Environmental Protection Agency. Team Biden used a report to justify its update to Obama’s Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) policy, which was aimed at justifying stricter regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

Now a study recently published in Nature’s Scientific Reports challenges the Biden administration’s fivefold increase in its SCC estimate, which was partly based on projections of global crop yield declines. The research, conducted by economist Ross McKitrick, re-examines and extends the dataset used in previous studies that influenced the SCC estimate.

The title pretty much sums up the key point: Extended crop yield meta-analysis data do not support upward SCC revision. It reviews the 2014 database set that was used to justify the hefty increase in regulations are carbon dioxide.

The paper makes many key points, including that the original dataset was less than complete.

The original dataset used for the SCC update contained 1,722 records, but only 862 were usable due to missing variables. McKitrick recovered 360 additional records, increasing the sample size to 1,222.

Interestingly, reanalysis of the larger dataset yielded significantly different results from previous studies. While earlier analyses suggested yield declines for all crop types even at low levels of warming, the new and improved information suggests the potential positive global average crop yield changes, even with up to a 5°C temperature increase

The study found that adaptation efforts and CO2 fertilization have beneficial effects on crop yields, which I have noted before. It seems like a good time to share this video of Dr. William Happer, who offers a rational perspective on carbon dioxide.

US multinationals purge website references to climate change

Walmart and Kraft Heinz among big corporations deleting or rewriting statements as Trump climate attacks intensify

Attracta Mooney and Susannah Savage in London

Big companies and non-profit groups have begun purging or rewriting references to climate change on their websites, mirroring similar action by US government departments in response to the policies of Donald Trump.

Financial Times analysis shows that statements on climate change from leading corporations including Walmart and Kraft Heinz have been deleted or rewritten over the past year at the same time as a Republican backlash against green action has intensified and companies have begun rolling back their net zero targets.

…

Areeba Hamid, co-executive director of Greenpeace UK, warned companies were at risk of “committing brand self-sabotage by erasing and diluting references to climate on their websites”.

…

Charities also told the FT they were rejigging their websites, with one US non-profit group that operates internationally saying they had scrubbed whole pages about climate change online, partly in a bid to help shore up US grants.

…Read more: https://www.ft.com/content/f100bedb-16cb-4f5e-8f64-9a10d5c43a51

The full article is worth reading, it contains a substantial list of companies and charities which have turned their backs on climate action.

Interestingly some of them apparently started purging online climate content before the November election, possibly in anticipation of a Trump victory.

Obviously if a radical climate activist is elected to the White House all the statements of climate commitment will be dusted off and restored. But in my opinion this shows how little corporations and charities genuinely care about climate change, and the fundamental weakness of the climate movement.

It Was Because The Food Sucked So Much – Michelle Obama Expresses Shock that Controversial School Lunch Program Was So Unpopular:

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is surprised that her school lunch program proved to be so controversial.

Obama made the remarks during an appearance this week on the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce, asserting that her decision to make a difference with school lunches — and her overall “Let’s Move” initiative — was “strategic” in nature.

“I was trying to be strategic about aligning my agenda with something that was important to the West Wing. And I thought, ‘There’s no way that anyone is going to take issue with trying to make school lunches healthier, getting kids more active,’” she said.

The wife of former President Barack Obama then appeared to try and take credit for more recent nutrition-related statements made by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claiming that she said “the same things” during her school lunch initiative, which launched in 2010.

“Just trying to make the next generation healthier than ours and, boy, was I wrong, which is really interesting in these times with the current Secretary of Health and Human Services [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] who is now saying some of the same things that I was saying,” Obama said.

She ultimately blamed the controversy on partisan differences. “It became a partisan issue. People were telling me that I’m trying to be the ‘nanny state’ and I’m trying to control what our kids are eating. And telling them what’s good for them and what’s not good for them.”

However, the former first lady maintained that her team achieved its goals with her program. She argued that they improved nutrition standards and factors such as “labels so that they were more readable, so that people’s parents could really understand the breakdown of fat and sugar. And it was clear we got the school nutrition standards improved in our schools for the first time in, like, 50 years.”

Obama’s school lunch initiative garnered a flood of negative attention. Many students posted photos online of their unappetizing meals after its rules were implemented. President Donald Trump worked to expand the overly restrictive program by bringing items such as chocolate milk back to the table during his first term in 2017.

The Left Knew They Were Lying to Us All Along

For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that it knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along.

Once it was known that the first COVID-19 case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses — with help from Western agencies — the left went into full persecution mode.

They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial any who dared follow logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were both culpable for the virus and lying.

A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and Biden administration demonized any who dared speak about a lab origin of the deadly virus.

The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus’s origins, such as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.

The Biden government also tried to use the lab theory to ridicule a supposedly pro-Trump “conspiracy.”

Western corporate interests deeply invested in China did not want their partner held responsible for veritably killing and maiming hundreds of millions worldwide.

Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president.

Indeed, that was the point.

Biden’s role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the “old Joe Biden from Scranton” pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced.

His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.

By 2017, the public knew three truths about the so-called Christopher Steele dossier.

One, it was completely fallacious — fabricated by a has-been, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He childishly had cobbled together lurid sex stories, James Bond spy fictions, and Russian-fed disinformation to destroy the Trump candidacy and later presidency.

Two, it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She hid her checks behind the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GSP paywalls.

Three, the FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.

No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was the work of “Russian disinformation.” Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation.

The pornographic pictures, the evidence of prostitution and drug use, the electronic communications implicating Joe Biden in his family’s illicit shake-down operation of foreign governments — all were never challenged by anyone who was associated with the laptop’s contents.

Yet future Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, along with former interim CIA Director Mike Morrell, sought to fabricate a colossal lie to arm their candidate, Joe Biden, with plausible denial in the last presidential debate before the 2020 election.

They rounded up a rogue’s gallery of 51 now utterly discredited former intelligence authorities to lie to the nation that the laptop was likely fake.

All knew the FBI had verified the laptop. But they also knew that their titles would empower their lies that the Russians likely invented the laptop to aid the sinister Trump.

And the ruse worked like a charm.

In the debate, Biden cited their lies chapter and verse to claim the incriminating laptop was fake. A lying media damned Trump as a puppet of Vladimir Putin. Biden, little more than a week later, won the 2020 election.

The Biden administration deliberately destroyed the southern border and welcomed 12 million illegal aliens. And then it lied that Biden had no power to stop the influx.

The media fabricated the excuse that “comprehensive immigration reform” was needed to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books.

Upon inauguration, Trump, in a matter of days, stopped what Biden had deliberately engineered for years.

Biden’s handlers wanted new millions of poor illegal aliens, dependent on social services, to swarm the borders.

They saw them as future voters and constituents to fuel their victim/victimizer Marxist binaries.

And they now quietly see their efforts as a huge success — knowing that it will be near impossible to find the millions of illegal aliens they welcomed in.

All these lies have divided the country and permanently damaged the U.S.

The perpetrators have neither apologized for their lies nor tried to either deny or substantiate them.

No one involved has ever been held legally accountable.

The legacy media permanently ruined its reputation and will likely never be seen as credible again.

The Biden administration, overseer of many of these lies, will be regarded as the most duplicitous and dishonest presidency in modern history.

AOTW

Yannow, Disney has destroyed almost everything it’s touched with Woke. Star Wars, Marvel, the classic movies, the Tragic Kingdom, Indiana Jones, all of it.

Now, they are panicking over Snow White. For that and how they’ve ruined all my favorite entertainment in just a few short years, they are the AOTW. I could have made it just Rachel Zeigler for what she did to Snow White, but it’s everything Disney touches.

All signs are pointing to a box office catastrophe for Disney’s new Snow White, and Hollywood is in full-blown panic mode. It’s not just Disney feeling the heat—Tinseltown, already drowning in a sea of big-budget flops, can’t afford another messy release. But that’s exactly what’s coming, as early signs suggest this woke remake is heading straight for a long, grim, and very unprofitable sleep.

Of course, casting a Hispanic liberal to play a white, German fairytale icon was one of Disney’s dumbest moves—right up there with ditching the dwarfs for diversity hire hobos, only to backtrack and digitally add the little guys later. What a mess.

Who could forget Rachel Zegler’s personal mission to literally trash Snow White’s original story—rewriting Prince Charming as some kind of #MeToo-type stalker?

The movie, now set to open nation-wide on March 21st, is in free fall, starting with the bizarre premiere, which was altered from start to finish, in order to avoid more anti-woke backlash.

Unherd:

Much effort was made to force the original tale into the contemporary moral mould of antebellum America. Now, as Disney braces for the release of its new live-action adaptation on Friday, a similar process is underway. This time, the sanitising is motivated by its star, Rachel Zegler, who has navigated the press junket so disastrously that studio bosses relocated a London premiere to a remote Spanish castle for fear of “anti-woke backlash”. All this was set in motion by Zegler’s comments in 2022, that the original film had followed Snow White’s “love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird.” Taking a further chomp at the hand which was so generously feeding her, she added: “I think I watched it once and never picked it up again.” This time around, Zegler promised, Snow White would not be dreaming “about true love”, but “about becoming the leader she knows she can be”, a phrase which single-handedly tanked the $270-million film’s predicted box-office performance.

Disney is making the same fatal mistake that sunk Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret—abandoning the fantasy that made them successful in the first place. Once upon a time, Disney’s core message was very simple: fairytales really do come true. Beautiful, right? And that’s the magic people bought into. But just like SI and VS ditched the dream of aspirational beauty—swapping out beautiful bombshells for below-average fat chicks—Disney is tossing out the timeless romance of a prince on a white horse, rescuing a woman in distress. Instead, they’re choking us to death with some contrived “girl power” nonsense that lacks charm, romance, or magic—ironically, all the things that made Disney movies beloved in the first place. The Unherd piece goes on:

Disney’s dalliances with “wokeness” are well documented, and tiresome. In 2023, its casting of the black actress Halle Bailey as Ariel in The Little Mermaid sparked outrage, much of it racist. Its megabucks Marvel franchise has attracted similar opprobrium. The conversation around Snow White, however, is summarised by outrage from the warriors of Mumsnet, who insist “there’s nothing wrong with dreaming of marriage”, and “I don’t understand why a man loving a woman is bad at all!” The lens of criticism is so relentlessly trained on the film’s feminism or lack of it that the underlying assumption is taken for granted: that mass-market cinema must contain a message, and that its plots can be used as a weathervane for contemporary sexual or racial politics.

Disney thought it was making history by embracing girl power and riding the wave of a so-called “progressive movement.” But here’s the problem—they got high on their own supply. They didn’t stop to realize that this wasn’t some organic, world-changing revolution. It was a manufactured guilt trip, pushed by Hollywood elites desperate to atone for the filth and perversion they’ve let fester in their own backyards. What Disney completely missed is that the rest of America doesn’t live in that filth. We’re just normal people who love escaping into a beautiful fantasy—romance, adventure, and the feel-good magic that made Disney iconic in the first place.

So, the crisis and the box office collapse? It’s well-earned. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of out-of-touch jerks.

Vulture:

Taken on its own merit, a movie premiere is pretty much incapable of dictating a film’s box-office fate. But according to rival studio executives and film marketers canvassed by Vulture, certain premieres can provide tantalizing indications of what’s to come. Disney’s red-carpet restrictions — taken in conjunction with the studio’s unorthodox decision to begin preselling tickets to Snow White via online retailers like Fandango and Atom Tickets a mere 11 days before its release — paint a picture of a movie in crisis. Under normal circumstances, an event title with almost a century of household-name recognition and a $450 million price tag (when you include prints and advertising costs) would begin selling tickets at least a month in advance. “That’s data. The only reason why they would start presales that late is they are worried people would write about, Oh, man, the tickets are on sale and they’re not doing well,” an executive at another major studio says of Disney. “That and scrapping the red carpet tell me a story. It’s almost like they’re running away from the movie. And at this budget, that’s kind of crazy.”

Of course, few movies arrive onscreen with as much cultural Sturm und Drang as director Marc Webb’s megabudget contemporization of 1937’s epochal Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Its bibliography of outrage includes: anti-diversity outcry in 2021 that greeted the casting of mixed-race Latina actress Zegler as its titular heroine (whose skin is described as “white as snow” in the original animated film); Peter Dinklage lambasting the film’s perceived insensitivity toward little people — specifically, its “fucking backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave”; Zegler’s 2023 multi-interview characterization of the original Snow White as “extremely dated when it comes to the idea of women in roles of power” and “focus on a love story with a guy who literally stalks her” (she also noted, “People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is — because it needed that”); and seemingly conflicting views of the Israel-Hamas war by Zegler (who has described herself as “pro-Palestine”) and Gadot (who served in the Israeli Defense Forces and used her keynote speech at a recent Anti-Defamation League summit to denounce those not “condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying, and cheering on a massacre of Jews”).

The biggest problem for Snow White, though, is Zelger’s attack on Trump supporters, and something she and the film can likely not rebound from. Add to that, the utter crash and burn of Disney’s other “woke” box office flop, “Captain America,” starring a black guy, whose only purpose was to check a DEI box for the industry. America, said, “No thanks.” The Vulture piece goes on.

Perhaps most problematic for Disney’s marketing apparatus, however, was then-23-year-old Zegler’s anguished reaction to President Trump’s election in November. “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Fuck Donald Trump.” After supporters of the president responded on social media with postings such as, “Not taking my kids to see this trash after the statement you put out. @disney you need to do something about this” and “I hope you get no peace when this film BOMBS at the box office and streaming,” Zegler issued a hasty apology. But some rival studio executives ultimately feel the Mouse House made a tactical mistake in casting the outspoken Romeo + Juliet actress and failing to rein her in. “The reality is Rachel Zegler should not be playing Snow White,” one tells me.

Snow White makes theatrical landfall at something of a corporate inflection point for Disney. Last month’s Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Captain America: Brave New World has underperformed financially, becoming one of the long-running franchise’s lowest-earning titles.

Islam is Destroying Western Culture Here And Abroad

If you wish to experience Europe with all its unique nations, hurry because the entire continent is rapidly changing due to (legal and illegal) unchecked Islamic immigration, demographic shifts, and political pandering. Even with no future immigration, Muslims in Europe will increase their population. They are giving birth at a much higher rate than non-Muslims: 2.6 children compared to 1.6 children. It doesn’t take a mathematician to see where this goes.

In 2006, Muammar Gaddafi said:

We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe—without swords, without guns, without conquest—will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.

Most European leadership is blind to what is happening—or doesn’t care.

Muslims on London’s sidewalks. X screen grab.

If you visit Europe, be sure you know where you are walking. The Migration Research Institute in Budapest, which is affiliated with the renowned Matthias Corvinus College, estimated in 2024 that there are 900 NO-GO ZONES across Europe. This is the result of Europe’s open-border policies that brought in an influx of Muslims who do not wish to assimilate into their adopted homeland. Instead, they want their adopted homeland to become an Islamic “Sharia paradise.”

German playwright Botho Strauss wasn’t afraid to say what many have been thinking:

In the course of the demographic change due to the majority of Muslim population in the metropolises expected in the near future, other priorities could emerge with respect to tolerance and diversity. How ridiculous and senseless then it is to continue with the tired and saccharine tones of ‘tolerance’ towards a class of people who in our cities are rising to the majority.

Throughout Europe, if you say anything about what is happening to your country or continent due to the influx of legal or illegal radicalized Muslim immigrants, you’re quickly called Islamophobic—and possibly arrested. For example, Member of Parliament Paul Scully was verbally attacked in February for appearing on BBC Radio London, where he responded to another MP by saying:

There are areas where there are a tiny minority of people who make people uncomfortable about not being of their religion, of their culture, who are misinterpreting their own doctrine. That’s not to say Tower Hamlets itself is a no-go area.

Scully was quickly criticized for even implying that London has any no-go areas. The BBC quoted a source close to London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan:

Unfortunately, Paul Scully is resorting to a notorious Islamophobic trope – with the highly offensive and untrue claim that there are ‘no-go’ areas for non-Muslims in parts of London.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls anti-immigrant sentiment “far right” as if it’s a bad thing to want to protect your homeland from an Islamic invasion. Just ask the people in Wethersfield, England, who will only whisper the truth about what asylum seekers are doing to their once quaint village.

But what about America? Well, it’s here, too.

Paterson, New Jersey, once a solid blue-collar city, has morphed into Palestine, New Jersey. In 2022, Main Street was officially changed to Palestine Way. Guess which day they officially made the change? On Israel’s Independence Day.

In “New Jersey’s First Islamic City,” Amy Mek, writing in RAIR Foundation USA (Rise Align Ignite Reclaim), points out:

Muslim elected leaders with deep ties to radical Islamic organizations are prioritizing Islamic identity over American values, steering Paterson away from its historical roots. Every policy change, symbolic gesture, and political appointment moves the city closer to becoming an Islamic enclave.

Just 30 miles from Dallas, Yasir Qadhi, a Pakistani American imam and theologian, is building a self-contained Muslim Sharia city of 1,000+ homes in East Plano, Texas.

Hillel Fuld, an American Israeli technology business advisor, blogger, and vlogger with a large following, posted on X:

If the west doesn’t wake up soon and start recognizing how radical Islam is penetrating every pillar of society, if people don’t stop labeling anyone who acknowledges the agenda of radical Islam an Islamophobe, if we don’t reverse the trajectory that we’re on, western civilization will join every other empire that threw morality out the window right before its demise.

The west is falling, and radical Islam is rising.

Please, people, wake the hell up. This shouldn’t be a political issue of the left and the right. This is a question of survival and if we don’t open our eyes soon, radical Islam will accomplish its goal and achieve its mission. They state it clearly. They (Islamists) want the destruction of the west. They’re using our politicians, our students, and our youth to spread the very dangerous cancer that is radical Islam. We need to diagnose the cancer and administer chemotherapy immediately.

Time is not on our side and history is quite clear about what happens next. I hope I’m wrong. But I’m not. I never, in my wildest darkest dreams imagined I’d see Americans marching in the streets of New York calling for the murder of Jews and declaring their support and loyalty to genocidal terrorist organizations full of murderers, rapists, and pedophiles. But here we are. Wake up. We are approaching the point of no return.

Of course, not every Muslim is looking to kill Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and other non-Muslim people. But what if only 1 percent of the world’s Muslims want to harm “infidels”? One percent doesn’t sound like that much, does it? However, as of 2020, there were over 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. That’s more than 25 percent of the world’s population, second after Christianity.

If just 1 percent of the world’s Muslim population is violently radicalized, that would equal 18 million Islamic jihadists. Ah, but we keep hearing that Islam is the religion of peace:

Syria – Muslims are massacring Christians!
Africa – Muslims are slaughtering Christians!
Europe – Muslims are murdering Christians!
Israel – Muslims are killing Jews! On October 7, 2023, they killed, raped and/or kidnapped about 1,400 innocent Israelis of all faiths.
United States – Muslims are rioting for Hamas and/or planning or killing innocent Americans.

Leftists in Europe and Democrats in America refuse to respond to growing radical Jihadist threats. Instead, in cowardly fashion, they call us “Islamophobes” because we express valid concerns about radical Islam destroying Western civilization. Maybe leftists in America and Europe should learn how to say “Auschwitz” in Arabic.

Karma Strikes – North Dakota Jury Rules Greenpeace Liable For Hundreds Of Millions In Damages

A North Dakota jury ruled Wednesday that Greenpeace is liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for defaming an energy company and for its role in disruptive protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline project in 2016 and 2017, according to numerous reports.

Energy Transfer, the company developing the pipeline, sued Greenpeace USA, Greenpeace International and Greenpeace Fund in 2019 seeking $300 million in damages for the activist group’s alleged role in defaming the firm and promoting criminal acts targeting the pipeline by protestors opposed to the project, according to The Associated Press. Greenpeace has previously indicated that a $300 million judgement against it could destroy the group’s U.S. operations.

As things currently stand, Greenpeace will have to pay Energy transfer $667 million, according to The Washington Post.

Trump’s America is abandoning climate action and the fight just got harder

By Alan Kohler

…

Bulldozing the Amazon rainforest is a fitting way to mark 30 years of failure, of annual gabfests that have released colossal amounts of carbon dioxide from the mouths of the well-meaning, and burned tonnes of aviation fuel to get them there, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions not one bit.

…

Energy scientist, Vaclav Smil puts the total cost of achieving net zero by 2050 at $US444 trillion, or $US17 trillion a year for 25 years, “requiring affluent economies to spend 20 to 25 per cent of their annual GDP on the transition”.

…

So net zero by 2050 won’t happen and the increase in global temperature will not be limited to the 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels that was agreed as preferred at Paris in 2015 – nowhere near it.

It would be a waste of money for something that nobody really wanted, an idea that wouldn’t work, and something that is not necessary except to the globalist Marxists who are trying to run everybody’s business, but should fukc off.

One In Five Gen-Z/Millennial Women Are Mentally Ill, Identify As Something Else

Parsing through a Goldman note on the online dating sector, particularly focusing on Match Group (MTCH), Bumble (BMBL), and Grindr (GRND), the industry remains on a healthy upward growth trajectory. However, mature online dating markets are slowing, while emerging regions (Asia ex-China) drive new user adoption. While Hinge outperforms Tinder, Bumble is restructuring its growth strategy, and Grindr continues penetrating the LGBTQ+ community.

Goldman analysts Eric Sheridan and Julia Fein-Ashley provided clients with the key takeaways of what’s currently happening across the online dating industry:

We continue to forecast the directly addressable online dating user TAM to grow at a 4% CAGR from 2024-2029;
Expect Asia ex-China to contribute to a large portion of new dating users and slower growth from more mature markets (i.e. UCAN [United States and Canada]/Europe growing at a 1% CAGR from 2024-2029); &
Forecast Hinge to increase penetration in the addressable user market, driven partially by continued focus on the international opportunity (and scaling in new international regions/markets).

Sheridan leveraged third-party data and industry sources that found the latest trends:

Industry: UCAN user preferences continue to shift towards intentional dating and community/friendship oriented apps (a theme of industry narrowing at the application layer);
GRND: the LGBTQ+ userbase size at Tinder/Hinge remains less scaled than Grindr &
BMBL: commentary around Bumble’s decision to discontinue/sunset the Fruitz app.

Instead of analyzing the entire note, we highlight two interesting trends.

The first is Bumble for Friends. This app helps users build platonic relationships rather than romantic connections and has seen rapid growth over the last 18 months.

FAFO – CA down 16K fast food jobs amid $20 wage, you raise minimum wage and people lose jobs, food costs more – duh

Federal data now shows California fast food employment is down 16,000 jobs since the passage of the state’s $20-per-hour fast food minimum wage last year.

A fast food study from the Berkeley Research Group found California fast food prices increased 14.5% from September 2023 to October 2024, or double the national average.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ quarterly employment survey covers 95% of American jobs, and is considered the gold standard for jobs and wage data. Now its latest report shows California fast food jobs declined from 570,909 in September 2023 to 554,748 in September 2024.

“Some advocates for the fast food minimum wage have already branded the 25% increase a success,” wrote BRG, whose research team included the former head of the state-funded Legislative Analyst’s Office. “According to them, not only have fast food workers received higher pay because of the increase, but the number of jobs available to these workers has increased as well. However, these claims are not supported by reliable data.”

The BRG report notes jobs declined in December 2023, which in this century only occurred during the Great Recession in 2009 and during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and that employers have cut hours and benefits to offset wage increases.

According to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, that’s not happening, citing a UC Berkeley study.

Political Meme’s – Treason

Why Obama Turns Out To Be One Of The Biggest Dicks As an Ex-President

Since his retirement from politics, Barack Obama has displayed an astonishing lack of regard for the public good. Instead of serving his fellow human beings, he has mainly devoted himself to a rigorous program of conspicuous self-celebration.

All summer, millions of Americans this year worried about being evicted from their homes, catching the Delta variant, persuading recalcitrant loved ones to get vaccinated, or whether a COVID resurgence might keep schools closed in the fall. Former president Barack Obama was apparently loftily unbothered by any of these plebeian concerns.

The distinguished memoirist was too busy planning a ginormous sixtieth birthday party for himself on his vast and vulgar Martha’s Vineyard estate, a sprawling 6,892-foot tumor on a beautifully spare coastal landscape, which the Obamas bought in 2019 for $11.75 million. The 475 guests were to include George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey. Even people close to him argued for weeks that as the White House was urging caution, given the recent COVID resurgence, the optics of this shindig were not good. Last week he appeared, for a moment, to be conceding to internal Democratic Party pressure by disinviting most of the guests, limiting the celebration to family and close friends. But that soon turned out to be some kind of head fake.

While Obama’s party might not have caused a deadly outbreak — it was outdoors and the Obamas were requiring guests to be vaccinated — the former president’s birthday bash showed, at a minimum, a cavalier insensitivity to the fears and needs of his neighbors, as well as a general indifference to the political fortunes of his fellow Democrats and the sufferings of Americans. But the kerfuffle shouldn’t surprise close observers of Obama’s ex-presidency, which has been strikingly bereft of public-spiritedness.

He’s distinguished himself as an enemy of labor and friend of racist cops. NBA players began to go on strike last August after Jacob Blake, a black man, was shot by police seven times in front of his kids, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Amid a national uprising over the shooting and many other acts of racist police brutality, Obama called LeBron James and players’ union leader Chris Paul and urged them to get back on the court and finish the playoffs, which they did.

Obama was also instrumental in shutting down Bernie Sanders’s bid for the presidency, a huge setback to the movement for social democracy in the United States. When Sanders was leading in the primaries, Obama worked to organize the other rival candidates to drop out and back Biden, making it impossible for Sanders to win. He then persuaded the democratic socialist senator to drop out of the race.

And let’s not forget Obama’s awful museum in Chicago. The three-memoir author is erecting a garish monument to himself on Jackson Park, which community activists argue will wreak havoc on cherished green space and a fragile ecosystem, as well as upon the legal scaffolding for the very idea of the public interest (we wrote about this late last year).

In addition to his appalling Vineyard manse, Obama is also planning to live in an additional ecological monstrosity in Hawaii — owned by close crony Marty Nesbitt, chair of the Obama Foundation board — and developed for the Obamas. ProPublica reported last year that the Obama’s planned beach house has a controversial sea wall, which protects the estate in storms but is illegal because such structures disrupt the flow of the ocean and contribute to beach loss throughout the state.

The UK Is F**cked, Nearly 1 MILLION people in Britain do not speak English

It’s how the goat herders take over a country. When the invaders won’t assimilate into the culture, they start their own and the next thing you know, it’s not your country.

New figures have revealed that almost one million people in England struggle to speak English, with many unable to communicate in the language at all. The data, obtained from the 2021 Census and shared with the Conservative Party by the UK Statistics Authority last month, highlights the challenges of integration in a country experiencing high levels of migration, reports the Sun.

According to the statistics, 10 percent of England’s foreign-born population—equivalent to 932,208 people—speak little or no English. Of these, 794,332 people (8.6 percent) reported that they cannot speak English well, while 137,876 (1.4 percent) cannot speak it at all. In contrast, just over half of migrants aged 16 and older say English is their main language, and 38.4 percent believe they speak it well.

The findings have prompted Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp to criticize Labour’s immigration policies. “It beggars belief that so many people in the country can’t speak English,” he said, calling on the government to “get a grip on immigration.”

England’s population stood at 67.6 million in mid-2022 and is expected to rise to 72.5 million by mid-2032, according to separate figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Net migration is estimated to average just under 631,000 this year, down from the record-breaking 906,000 in recent years, according to the Daily Mail.

Yep, Probably Going To Get That DWI If you Hit A Cop Car

A man was arrested early Monday for allegedly driving while intoxicated after he failed to stop at a flashing red light and struck a Dallas police squad car.

The crash occurred near Dallas Love Field Airport on Cedar Springs Road and Manor Way around 3 a.m. while the police officer was traveling northward on a routine call, according to Fox 4 KDFW.

A Chevy Camaro was heading west at the same time and allegedly ran the red light, hitting the Dallas police squad car. The impact caused the officer’s vehicle to veer off the road, while the Camaro crashed into a utility pole.

The intersection is controlled by flashing lights; the officer had a flashing yellow, while the driver of the Camaro had a flashing red light, police said, as reported by Fox 4.

Neither the male driver nor the female passenger was injured in the incident. The unidentified man was arrested for driving while intoxicated.

“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement.

“U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal antidiscrimination laws.”

Get Your MLB Tetas Here

I usually love MLB’s special edition merch, but this ain’t it.

Being an Atlanta fan, I bought a Braves hat with the most crisp navy blue and red owl on the side.

Fast forward a year later, and now MLB is dishing out mistakes after their glorious Drake collab. This one has to do with the Texas Rangers, specifically in regards to one hell of a hat design.

A new cap was unveiled by MLB’s Texas Rangers that puts the team’s “T” logo smack dab in the middle of “Texas.” But there were two problems: 1. It’s ugly as hell, and 2. … and this is what’s going viral … the word “Texas” with the “T” in the middle of it spells “Tetas.”

“Tetas” translates to “tits” in Spanish.

Lawmakers Reveal Several House Members’ Mental Faculties So Diminished They Can’t Do Their Jobs, Mentally Disabled/Drunk/Stoned

One of the worst things of the four years in which Joe Biden occupied the White House was that Democrats covered up and didn’t care about his cognitive condition — until it was a threat to their control.

He’s had issues for years and we all saw it, but they wanted us to believe he was just fine and could even run for reelection. The horrible thing to think of is how many things went wrong because of this. The idea of the 25th Amendment was to protect the country. But the Democrats cared more about control.

The problem wasn’t just Biden. We’ve seen the problem for example of people of advanced age in both houses of Congress. We reported in December about how Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) was missing from votes for months and was actually in an assisted living facility. She’s no longer in office because her term was up in January.

But now lawmakers are dishing about how many of their colleagues have big problems with their mental faculties.

Up to a dozen members of Congress reportedly have mental faculties so diminished they can no longer do their jobs — with some even showing up drunk or stoned to cast votes.

“There’s no question that somewhere between six and a dozen of my colleagues are at a point where they’re … I think they don’t have the faculties to do their job,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn) told Politico, which spoke to 25 members of the House and Senate who spilled the tea on their unnamed colleagues.

A Republican colleague concurred, with an important addendum.

“I have a difficult time sometimes telling between the deterioration of members and a handful who are just not very smart,” the unnamed lawmaker said.

Yikes. Either way, that’s incredibly concerning. They didn’t identify the people they were speaking about. But up to a dozen who are no longer able to do their jobs is a serious problem. That’s not providing adequate representation. Again, if that’s true, what you’re talking about is their staff probably running things, just as was done with Biden.

Himes revealed that a lot of people were also voting when they weren’t completely sober.

“Every time we do an 11 p.m. vote, a minority of the chamber has a zero blood alcohol content. Now, that’s different than voting drunk. I don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody demonstrably drunk on the floor,” Himes noted.

Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) claimed to have seen one GOPer who “show[ed] up drunk” several times — and that “there were one or two Dems I thought might be high on something, but not drunk.”

The DEI Scam: How America’s Corporations and Universities Were Duped by the Biggest Con of the Century

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) movement emerged in the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd protests, initially as a well-intentioned effort to address systemic inequalities. However, it quickly transformed into a bureaucratic initiative aimed at embedding social justice programs into the fabric of universities and corporations.
Fueled by psychological manipulation, ideological extremism and the threat of violence, DEI programs spread across institutions. This led to the creation of a bloated bureaucracy that enforced ideological conformity and promoted divisive rhetoric, often pitting individuals against each other based on identity markers.
By 2024, the flaws in DEI became evident, with major corporations like Ford, Walmart and John Deere rolling back their DEI commitments due to legal and political pressures. A growing number of employees and students criticized DEI for fostering division and mediocrity, leading to a widespread backlash against the movement.
As DEI retreats, proponents are rebranding their ideology with terms like “inclusive excellence” and “belonging.” However, critics argue that the underlying ideology remains unchanged, and the movement’s advocates are likely to adapt and continue promoting their agenda under new labels.
The collapse of DEI has prompted a shift towards merit-driven frameworks that emphasize objective criteria and measurable outcomes. This includes structured hiring practices, transparent promotion policies and collaborative decision-making processes, which are seen as more effective and less divisive than the top-down mandates of DEI.

(Natural News)—The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) movement, once heralded as a moral and business imperative, has been exposed as one of the most elaborate cons of the 21st century. What began as a well-intentioned effort to address systemic inequalities quickly devolved into a bureaucratic hustle, enriching thousands of ideological hustlers while sowing division and mediocrity across academia and corporate America. Now, as DEI collapses under the weight of its own contradictions, it’s time to reflect on how this con took root—and why its demise is a victory for common sense and meritocracy.

The rise of the DEI con

The DEI movement gained traction in the wake of the 2020 George Floyd protests, which sparked a national conversation about race and inequality. But as Stanley K. Ridgley, author of DEI Exposed: How the Biggest Con of the Century Almost Toppled Higher Education, explains, DEI was never about genuine diversity or inclusion. Instead, it was a “bureaucratic initiative designed to anchor a new raft of social justice programs as an inescapable presence on the campus.”

Ridgley recounts how DEI metastasized across universities and corporations, fueled by a combination of psychological manipulation, ideological extremism and the threat of violence. “It was violence and the threat of violence that opened the door for this effervescence of DEI,” he writes. College administrations, fearing the chaos of 2020’s summer riots, capitulated to the demands of activists, allowing DEI to embed itself deeply into institutional structures.

The result? A bloated bureaucracy of “apparatchiks and supernumeraries” who peddled racialist pseudoscience and enforced ideological conformity. DEI training sessions became notorious for their divisive rhetoric, pitting employees and students against one another based on race, gender and other identity markers. As Ridgley bluntly puts it, “It was weird and alien and hateful at its core.”

The backlash begins

By 2024, the cracks in the DEI façade were impossible to ignore. Major corporations like Ford, Walmart and John Deere began rolling back their DEI commitments, citing mounting legal and political pressures. A Fox News poll conducted in early 2025 found that 45% of voters believed it was “extremely” or “very” important for President Donald Trump to focus on ending DEI programs.

The backlash wasn’t just political—it was personal. Employees and students who had long endured the mediocrity and divisiveness of DEI initiatives finally began speaking out. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, who has seen the harmful effects of DEI in his practice, told Fox Business, “The trend over the last few years has been to make DEI programs into political commissars, to go after people who have different viewpoints, and they end up, in many ways, sowing more division in the institution that they’re supposed to help.”

Even DEI advocates like Naomi Wheeless acknowledged the role of political pressure in the movement’s decline. “It is that [Trump] is a president with a well-documented history of vindictiveness,” she said. “He creates a sense of fear and the feeling that whether we want to or not, we better fall in line.”

The con story lives on

As DEI retreats, its proponents are already scrambling to rebrand. Terms like “inclusive excellence” and “belonging” are emerging as replacements for the now-toxic DEI acronym. But as Ridgley warns, the underlying ideology remains the same. “The Con Story will morph and adapt,” he writes. “Buzzwords will change, new slogans will be coined, but the underlying ideology will remain the same as it always has.”

This isn’t the first time America has fallen for a con story. From the pseudoscience of Karl Marx to the utopian promises of radical activists, history is littered with examples of ideologies that duped the credulous. Ridgley draws a chilling parallel between the DEI movement and the case of Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old who murdered a man in New York City in 2024, driven by extremist ideology. “Persons who cheer the killer Luigi Mangione for his assassination of Brian Thompson also fully support DEI’s personnel, programs, policies and enforcement mechanisms on the college campuses,” Ridgley asserts.

A return to meritocracy

The collapse of DEI is a reminder that meritocracy and fairness are not just ideals—they are essential to a functioning society. As corporations and universities abandon DEI, many are turning to evidence-based, merit-driven frameworks that emphasize objective criteria and measurable outcomes. Structured hiring practices, transparent promotion policies and collaborative decision-making processes are proving to be more effective—and less divisive—than the top-down mandates of DEI.

The death of DEI is a victory for common sense, but the fight is far from over. As Ridgley warns, the con artists behind DEI will not go quietly. They will rebrand, relabel and repackage their ideology in an attempt to deceive a new generation of marks. But for now, America can breathe a sigh of relief that one of the biggest cons of the century has finally been exposed.

The lesson is clear: Ideological extremism and bureaucratic bloat have no place in our institutions. It’s time to return to the principles that made America great—individual merit, equal opportunity and the pursuit of excellence. DEI may be over, but the work of rebuilding trust and integrity in our institutions has only just begun.

They Get An F For Originality – 22 Democrat Senators Caught Making Same Video to Bash Trump, Musk

The Insider Wire combined a video published by 22 Democratic senators into one post where they bash President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Modern Feminism Makes Women Miserable

The best thing modern feminists could do for women is tell them to reject feminism.

The Institute for Family Studies recently analyzed findings from the annual American Family Survey. It found 37% of conservative women ages 18-40 said they were completely satisfied with life. But only 12% of liberal women that age were. That’s a shocking disparity, but it’s not an outlier finding.

In 2021, Columbia University professors put out a study on depression among 12th graders, looking at data from 2005 to 2018. They found “female liberals reported worse internalizing symptom scores over the study period than all other groups.”

A 2017 study by a Penn State University professor noted “politically conservative participants were significantly more optimistic and satisfied with life than their liberal counterparts.”

A 2008 study in Psychological Science asked, “Why are conservatives happier than liberals?” It cited a 2006 Pew survey showing 47% of conservative Republicans called themselves “very happy,” while only 28% of liberal Democrats did the same.

The researchers from Columbia speculated that political events might have contributed to liberal depression. Republicans made political gains in the 2010s, including the election of then-President Donald Trump. The researchers claimed issues like global warming, structural racism, and pervasive sexism “became unavoidable features of political discourse.”

The implication is that liberals are depressed because they care so much about the world’s problems.

While that may sound noble, stressing out about something that you can’t control isn’t a virtue. It can lead to “learned helplessness.” If people believe their choices won’t improve things, they often give up or make worse choices. Little wonder researchers often connect learned helplessness to depression.

While this is a factor, there’s a deeper explanation.

Feminists originally argued for equal opportunity in voting, education, and the workplace. That happened. But second-wave feminists went further. They disparaged marriage and religion as tools of the patriarchy. They didn’t view children as a source of deep meaning and fulfillment, but rather as an obstacle to career success.

Third- and fourth-wave feminists went beyond that. Many contend that different outcomes between men and women are solely the result of societal expectations. These ideas have gone so far that leftists now claim men can become women. Why some men would willingly give up the power of the patriarchy is never quite explained.

These ideas have gained tremendous cultural power, especially on the Left. As a result, liberals are less likely to be married, go to church, or have kids. But these choices haven’t brought joyous liberation. Just the opposite.

As Brad Wilcox lays out in his book “Get Married,” married men and women are around twice as likely to be very happy as their single counterparts. An obvious factor in that is loneliness. Single childless adults are more than twice as likely as married individuals to say they’re always or almost always lonely, Wilcox noted. Historically, single individuals found community and connection in a church or synagogue. But liberals are less likely to attend religious services.

If women want to be happy, they should embrace what modern feminists falsely claim is the patriarchy.

Trannies At It Again, Trying To Blow Shit Up This Time

A transgender activist has been arrested for allegedly leaving explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership.

The activist, “Lucy Grace Nelson,” whose birth name appears to be Justin Thomas Nelson, 40, has been accused of repeatedly vandalizing the dealership in “protest” of Elon Musk.

The dealership had been targeted on January 29, February 2, and February 7 — with the severity increasing each time.

Nelson was caught red-handed at the dealership with incendiary devices and materials to vandalize the building, again, on February 24.

Star Wars Has A Chance Of Being Good Again, And Less Woke – Kathleen Kennedy to Step Down from Lucasfilm

Other than Dylan Mulvany ruining Bud Light, Kennedy is the only one who comes close in terms of using wokeness to ruin a franchise.

In a move that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood and the passionate Star Wars fandom, Kathleen Kennedy, the longtime president of Lucasfilm, is reportedly set to retire by the end of 2025.

After more than a decade steering one of Disney’s most iconic franchises into the ground, Kennedy’s departure marks the end of an era defined by ambitious expansion, woke creative decisions, and a relentless push to modernize a galaxy far, far away. The news—first reported by industry insider Matthew Belloni of Puck—has sparked widespread speculation about the future of Star Wars and its place within Disney’s sprawling empire.

Kennedy’s tenure began in 2012 when she joined Lucasfilm as co-chair alongside founder George Lucas. Months later, Disney acquired the studio for $4 billion, Lucas stepped away, and Kennedy ascended to the presidency.

Handpicked by Lucas himself, she brought a storied resume, having co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and produced cultural juggernauts like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and the Indiana Jones series. Her task at Lucasfilm was monumental: revive Star Wars for a new generation while honoring its legacy.

She failed miserably.

Under Kennedy’s leadership, Disney launched the Star Wars sequel trilogy, beginning with 2015’s The Force Awakens, which grossed over $2 billion worldwide and reignited global fervor for the franchise. The trilogy, concluding with 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, raked in more than $4.4 billion combined, though it faced diminishing returns and fierce backlash from some fans over its narrative direction.

Spin-offs like Rogue One (2016) and Solo (2018) followed, alongside a bold pivot to streaming with Disney+ series such as The Mandalorian, Andor, and The Acolyte. The Mandalorian, in particular, became a cultural phenomenon, proving Star Wars could thrive beyond the big screen.

The Acolyte, on the other hand, was panned as a woke expression of personal failures that woefully found themselves polluting the failed project.

Critics—especially vocal segments of the fanbase—accused her of steering the franchise toward radical leftist territory, citing diverse casting and progressive themes as departures from Lucas’s original vision. High-profile stumbles, like the cancellation of The Acolyte after one season due to low viewership, and the debacle of 2023’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, fueled calls for her ouster.

Elon Musk famously piled on, branding her “more deadly than the Death Star” in 2024 for her creative choices. Even South Park took a swipe, lampooning her as a symbol of Disney’s pandering.

Almost more than on any other issue, European leaders “made bad policy decisions on migration.”

Though it’s been just a month since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is making his presence felt at home and abroad, from the Department of Government Efficiency to tariffs to setting the stage to negotiate the end of the Russia-Ukraine war.

“What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”

“It’s like the United States: The people were not happy with Joe Biden and his policies. In England, the people are not happy with what’s going on with their leaders, with regulations, the price of living, and they’re willing to do something about it.”

“The bottom line is there are people who don’t believe that Western civilization is something to be prized, treasured, and developed,” Harris said.

“We have nothing to apologize for. We have the strongest economy. We have the strongest military. We’ve preserved freedom a couple of times in Europe, and we’re not going to stop doing that,” the Maryland lawmaker continued. In Europe, the Trump administration is making “a call for Western civilization to bring back the ideals of Western civilization and the success of Western civilization.”

“I think that was brought out at the conference,” Harris said, “and that’s the message that Donald Trump brings—the end of wokeism, economic security, low energy prices, and a nationalistic pride that precedes economic success.”

Republican Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Andy Harris of Maryland, and others experienced just how Trump is shaking things up across Europe as they attended the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London this week.

The Daily Signal accompanied them as they engaged with European leaders and citizens.

The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now

“What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”

Last week, Vice President JD Vance delivered remarks at an artificial intelligence summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference in Germany. Vance took European nations to task for their regulatory environment on matters ranging from energy to speech to artificial intelligence, and he reasserted America’s national interests in U.S. foreign policy.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright had his turn to address a European crowd when he virtually joined the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference and lambasted Europe’s energy policies. “Energy realism is critical if you want to have humanism,” he said, specifically addressing Vance’s critique of European energy policy.

Wright said what’s happening in Europe now is “lunacy.”

“This is impoverishing citizens for the delusion that this is somehow going to make the world a better place,” he said.

Harris told The Daily Signal he was “not surprised at what happened at the Munich Security Conference.”

“I mean, that’s the deep state of Europe,” he said.

“The bottom line is there are people who don’t believe that Western civilization is something to be prized, treasured, and developed,” Harris said.

“Donald Trump is going to, once again, make the United States the leader of the free world,” he said.

“In general, I think that it’s reminding Europe that it’s time to get serious again,” Burlison told The Daily Signal. “We need to get serious about our manufacturing. We need to get serious about energy production, and we need to get serious about the threats to national security.”

Though many European elites in government have responded in dismay to the Trump administration’s message to Europe, the people the members of Congress met in London feel differently.

Hageman told The Daily Signal that Vance and Wright took “absolutely the right tack” in engaging with European nations over the past week.

“Energy security is national security,” the Wyoming congresswoman continued. “What you’re seeing of these European countries, and what the U.N. is demanding, is that we all live under energy poverty, and none of us believe in that. We believe in prosperity. I think that that’s exactly the message that Donald Trump and JD Vance are sending, and I think it’s what the European people want.”

“The government and the leadership in Europe for so long has been focusing on ‘net zero’ and carbon and global warming, and all of this nonsense,” Hageman said. “It’s costing their citizenry dearly, and they’re tired of it.”

For Hageman, the new sheriff in town is not only Trump, “the new sheriff in town is common sense and getting back to what governments are supposed to be.”

“The ones that I’ve spoken with are happy that Trump is rolling back regulations and calling Europe out for not [doing so],” said Norman.

DOGE has been a buzzworthy topic in London as well. “With DOGE, Trump and [DOGE chief Elon] Musk are more than investigators. What have they done? They’ve just exposed where the money went.” Europeans are now starting to desire a thorough accounting of where their money has gone, Norman said.

“We can’t continue [on] the same path that’s put us in debt,” Norman said of the reckless spending. “And I think many Europeans feel the same way. They wanted to take the same path Donald Trump is taking, and go a different way.”

“We’ve wasted a lot of time and a lot of money on foolish things,” Burlison said of the West. “America, sadly, has led in some of these foolish wastes, like studying [critical race theory] and this woke ideology and climate. But I think that, given the problems that we’re facing today, Trump is kind of a wake-up call, and it’s kind of the sobering message that Europe and America really needed to hear.”

With tariffs and charting a new path for foreign policy, “Trump is sending a message: Europe has got to defend itself,” Norman said. “Their percentage [of gross domestic product] that they spend is minuscule [compared with] what we spend, and we got a bigger GDP. He’s putting the pressure on them. They’re going to have to make the decision about how to keep their countries safe and I think it’s long time in coming.”

“You can tell, at least at this point, that they’re taking that seriously and kind of walking through what that would mean,” Burlison said of Trump’s policies. “So, I hope that England and the European countries that have been relying on America for so long recognize that America is taking things seriously, but we also need Europe to do so as well.”

Because of her interactions in London, Hageman thinks Britons are “coming around to the Trumpian point of view” because European leaders are not changing a failed course.

“Instead of changing course, instead of fixing this mess they created, “the Wyoming lawmaker said, European leaders “are telling all of you to shut up. That’s what’s happening in Europe and that’s what JD Vance was calling out.”

Almost more than on any other issue, European leaders “made bad policy decisions on migration.”

“It has caused severe issues and problems within these communities throughout their countries, and their response isn’t to say we need to fix this. Their response is to say we’re going to make it illegal for you to point it out,” Hageman said. “I think that it is absolutely fair for JD Vance and all of us to stand up for our brethren, to stand up for our brothers and sisters in Europe, and say we’re not going to allow you tyrants to get away with that.”

They’ve been invaded and they are delusional on their energy policies. How long before the people have had enough? It just happened in the US

The 10 Worst Presidents

“5 historians out with updated rankings for 2025 of the 10 WORST presidents in US History. These rankings were based on a very serious and rigorous review of both their economic and foreign policy successes and failures. You wonder why America is in such bad shape, just look at all the lemons we have elected over the last 50 years.

#10 Democrat Franklin D Roosevelt. Exasperated the Great Depression, Stole Americans gold, tried to stack the supreme court, watched WWII start and started the socialist state with massive government spending which to this day is adding to the out of control debt in the USA. He was a Marxist and a one world order guy.

#9 Democrat Barack Obama. Created what is now considered the WORST Domestic Policy in US History dubbed Obamacare which to this day continues to destroy America’s health care system and exasperates the debt problems in the USA. Started the Spying on Americans program by Abusing the intelligence agencies. He was a Marxist who hated America.

#8 Republican Herbert Hoover. Oversaw the start of the Great Depression which caused a 90% stock market crash and many people out of work. Would be ranked higher, but had no foreign policy disasters.

#7 Democrat Andrew Johnson. Impeached and barely survived conviction by 1 vote during civil war era.

#6 Democrat Jimmy Carter. Oversaw one of the worst economies in US History with 18% interest rates and near 10% Unemployment and 10% Inflation. Add in his problems with Iran and he was run out of town in a landslide after only 1 term.

#5 Democrat Lyndon Johnson. LBJ oversaw the Vietnam War, now considered one of the WORST Foreign Policies in US History as over 57,000 Americans KIA. In addition, added new social programs (mostly failures) with massive government spending which to this day is adding to the out of control debt in the USA. He was a major racist and said he’d be having N-word people voting Democratic for 200 years.

#4 Republican George Bush II. Created what is now considered the WORST Foreign Policy in US History with Iraq War based on FALSE Intel in addition to watching trillions of wealth destroyed as Federal Reserve FAILED to do its job. Another One World Government politician like his father

#3 Democrat James Buchanan. Failed to understand that the North would not accept constitutional arguments which favored the South giving rise to the start of the Civil War. In his inaugural address, Buchanan called the territorial issue of slavery ‘happily, a matter of but little practical importance.’

#2 Democrat Woodrow Wilson — The Federal Reserve, Federal Income Tax and World War One all started under his watch. All Failures with long lasting negative effects to this day. He was a major racist.

#1 With The Historic Failure Of The Democrats under the leadership of the Biden Administration on Domestic Policy with Run Away Inflation and Foreign Policy with 5 news wars —Add in that he weaponized the justice system against his political opponents. All while trying to run the country brain dead, Democrat Joe Biden is now OFFICIALLY Ranked as the WORST President in US History.”

I had Obama, Carter and LBJ a lot higher on the list, but they made it. I agree with FDR and Wilson though. They were turds.

Ohio Democrats Try to Own The Right With Bill Banning Ejaculating Without Aim To Procreate

Ohio’s “pro-choice” lawmakers believe they’re owning the Right by proposing a bill that would ban men from ejaculating during sex without the intent of making babies. Democrat State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rade are desperately trying to make some kind of gotcha argument against abortion bans by demanding men pay a fine up to $10,000 if they’re caught doing so. That’s why they introduced “The Conception Begins at Erection Act” this week, attempting to twist the factual pro-life slogan, “life begins at conception” into some kooky radical theory. Of course, members of the “LGBTQ” alphabet brigade are exempt from this law. Your right to butt hump is still protected!

After being the only RINO to vote against RFJ Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, he completed a career of being a traitor except to the system and to the uni-party.

Mitch McConnell, the asshole of the week. A man that needs to retire and go away.

On Wednesday, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made headlines for all the wrong reasons. In a blatant display of disloyalty, he voted ‘no’ on Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation to become the next director of national intelligence. While the Senate ultimately approved her appointment with a narrow 52-48 vote, McConnell stood alone as the sole Republican saboteur against a qualified nominee whom President Trump put forward.

The Republican-controlled Senate voted nearly entirely along party lines to confirm Kennedy. The final showdown over his controversial nomination was set in motion hours earlier, after another party-line vote on Wednesday afternoon which started the clock ticking toward the confirmation roll call.

Kennedy, the well-known vaccine skeptic and environmental crusader who ran for the White House in 2024 before ending his bid and endorsing Trump, needed a simple majority to be confirmed by the Senate.

Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was the only Republican to vote against Kennedy’s nomination. McConnell, the former longtime GOP Senate leader, suffered from polio as a child and is a major proponent of vaccines.

NSA Reportedly Purges Agency’s Websites Of DEI Terms

Growing up, we didn’t know people were different until the grownups said so. We didn’t have any tranny kids or any that didn’t know what gender they were or bathroom they went to.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is reportedly scrubbing its website content of newly banned terms, including “gender identity,” “allyship,” and “anti-racism.”

NSA websites and internal network pages containing any of the 27 banned terms will be deleted Feb. 10, according to a memo sent to staff obtained by Popular Information.

Anti-Racism, racism, DEI, equity, feminism, sexuality, and a litany of other terms are also banned, according to Popular Information, which first reported on the memo Monday. The memo notes that some of the banned words are used in other contexts not pertaining to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the report added.

One of America’s priciest green boondoggles likely going offline after sucking up subsidies and incinerating birds

Here’s something for DOGE to cut funding to. Not much bigger waste or boondoggle than this.

One of the most expensive green energy projects ever undertaken in American history looks like it is now on borrowed time after eating up massive amounts of taxpayer dollars and killing thousands of birds.

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) — a major utility company — announced in January that it is terminating power purchase contracts with the owners of Southwestern California’s Ivanpah Solar Power facility, a massive and unique solar project that received hundreds of millions of subsidy dollars as it launched in 2014. Just over a decade after it started operations, the facility appears to be headed toward its demise after killing thousands of birds because it could not provide the utility sufficiently cheap energy.

“PG&E determined that ending the agreements at this time will save customers money,” the company said in its Jan. 17 statement on the plant. The original owners of the plant — which cost about $2.2 billion to build — included Google and NRG Energy, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The Los Angeles Times reported in 2016 that the Ivanpah project killed an average of 6,000 birds each year, with some of the unlucky creatures colliding with the development’s 40-story towers and others being incinerated instantly upon flying through concentrated sunlight while chasing prey. The project received tax breaks, a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the Obama Department of Energy (DOE) and a further $535 million subsidy from the Obama Department of Transportation (DOT), but it failed to reach advertised power output levels, according to analysis by Benjamin Zycher, an energy-focused senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

Thirty House Democrats attempted to enter the Department of Education building on Friday morning to meet with acting Education Secretary Denise L. Carter regarding Trump’s plans to significantly downsize or even eliminate the department, but they were stopped by security.

Video of the Democrats attempting to convince the visibly uninterested security guard to let them in quickly spread on social media, sparking strong pushback from conservatives.

Waters and other Democrats could be seen on video berating the security guard, repeatedly asking for his ID, and telling him to look at the camera, so viewers could see his face.

Solyndra – Obama-backed solar firm collapses after big federal loan guarantee

Solyndra Inc., a renewable energy firm that became a darling of the Obama Administration, shut the doors of its California headquarters Wednesday, raising fresh questions from critics about political favoritism and wasted money in the federal loan program.

The manufacturer of rooftop solar panels opened its doors in 2005, and in 2009 became the first recipient of an Obama administration energy loan guarantee – a $535 million federal commitment that helped minimize the risk to venture capital firms backing the solar start-up. Obama visited the factory last year to herald its future.

“The promise of clean energy isn’t just an article of faith — not anymore,” Obama told Solyndra workers then. “The future is here.”

The government loan guarantee was supposed to spur 1,000 fulltime jobs once Solyndra’s solar plant was fully operating. Instead, the company announced Wednesday it intends to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and that 1,100 full and part time employees had been laid off “effective immediately,” without severance. Some said they no longer have health insurance, either.

Now, the company’s collapse is sure to rekindle questions about how well the Energy Department vetted the deal before putting taxpayer dollars on the table – and about whether the public will have to pick up the $535 million tab. The full bill may not be clear until bankruptcy proceedings. How much taxpayers and other creditors recover could depend on the total value of the company’s assets.

FAFO – The ‘ultimate selfie’ has claimed up to 480 lives – yet the craze shows no signs of ending

To the list of the world’s most dangerous activities, it seems we must add a very 21st–century pursuit: selfie-taking.

The number of people who have lost their lives while trying to get that perfect shot has spiked sharply in recent years. For a time, Wikipedia kept a running total, estimating 379 people have died in selfie-related accidents between 2008 and 2021, with hundreds more sustaining serious injuries.

Since then, other sources suggest the toll had risen to as many as 480 fatalities by the end of 2024. By way of comparison, far more people die from taking selfies than from shark attacks, which on average account for 5-6 deaths per year globally.

Another Obama-Biden Chinese Spy: Federal Reserve Advisor Alleged to Be Literally Selling Out America

How are these guys not tried for being traitors?

The threat of the Chinese Communist Party is ever-present in the ranks of government.

The Washington Post reported Friday that John Harold Rogers — a former senior advisor to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors working in the International Finance Division — was arrested that day for allegedly leaking sensitive information to the Chinese government while taking massive payments and embarking on fully paid trips to the country.

Rogers worked for the Fed from 2010 to 2021, beginning his tenure at the central bank under former President Barack Obama’s administration.

After his departure, Rogers moved to Shanghai, China, and began working as a professor at Fudan University. He was arrested in his hometown of Vienna, Virginia.

Prosecutors allege Rogers had access to briefs and spreadsheets that could “allow China to manipulate the U.S. market, in a manner similar to insider trading.”

‘There Were 503 Lapses’: Kris Kobach Breaks Down Consequences of Hiring DEI in Aviation

“In 2023, based on internal statistics at [the Federal Aviation Administration], there were 503 lapses of in-air traffic controller decisions, which was up to 65% over the previous year,” Kobach said. “And The New York Times reported also in 2023 that there were 300 near collisions in the preceding 12 months, which was double what it had been a decade earlier. So, these decisions about whom you hire have consequences.”

The attorney general then praised President Donald Trump’s immediate action against DEI initiatives.

“I think President Trump got it right when he immediately ended the DEI hiring in the FAA and in the air traffic controller world. But we want the best people. Whether it’s my pilot, my air traffic controller, or my surgeon, I don’t care what skin color they have,” Kobach said. “All I want is the most competent, skilled person because their decision could end my life in a second. I think most Americans would agree with that.”

In 2024 alone, FAA data reported that the Reagan Washington National Airport experienced at least eight near-midair collisions, according to The New York Times. The FAA has consistently said that due to a lack of air traffic controllers on the Eastern Seaboard, it has had to limit the number of flights allowed through the region.

The plane involved in the collision carried 60 passengers and four crew members. Three soldiers were on the helicopter, and it was reported that no one survived the incident. Newly confirmed U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that both aircraft were following their designated flight paths during the incident.

Elizabeth Warren Worried Her Gravy Train Would Be Stopped By RFK Jr.

Back to my wife’s relatives in Denmark. I routinely count on them to know what is the right thing for America by going against anything they are for. In this case, her niece Marian thinks Pocahontas is the “bomb”. She put it on Facebook.

They of course hate Trump who just got them to spend $2.1 Billion on Greenland’s defense instead of him spending it. They already pay 70% taxes and it’s going up for some TDS.

I find it hard to believe her family are even close to smart sometimes. I can always count on them to trash America and Americans, except when they want to shop for half the price in Denmark. They always think that America should be more like Denmark. Let’s see, which country has put a man on the moon? Are they speaking Danish instead of German since the 1940’s?

Warren just proved yesterday that her paycheck comes from Big Pharma, who screwed over a lot of people during Covid. Point of interest, the Danes had to take the jab so that could be why their IQ went down some more.

The New Captain America – How To Screw Your Own Movie Before It Gets Released

I know Steve Rogers is gone, but don’t say Captain America is not about America. That’s taking woke way past being smart.

A few other celebtards ruined their own movies (Captain Marvel) by trashing the audience before it came out, but come on, don’t be daft. Marvel seems to shit on all of their products since Disney and Kathleen Kennedy took over.

The buzz around “Captain America: Brave New World” had been toxic … until recently.

The sequel finds Anthony Mackie taking over for Chris Evans as the star-spangled Avenger. The film endured high-profile “reshoots” as well as leaked reports of devastating test screenings.

Both gave the impression this “Brave New World” would be a “Marvels”-level dud.

In recent weeks, though, the buzz has died down.

The film’s recent trailer didn’t suffer blowback from Comic Con Nation. The Red Hulk subplot has comic readers intrigued, especially since screen legend Harrison Ford will be bringing him to life.

In fact. some media outlets report the film could earn north of $90 million in its opening weekend. That’s not “Avengers”-sized money but enough to suggest the franchise won’t crash and burn.

Mackie’s new viral gaffe just made everything worse. How much worse? We’ll find out on Feb. 14 when “Brave New World” hits theaters nationwide.

Suffice it to say Disney star Rachel Zegler would be impressed by this PR disaster.

Mackie, a credible star in his own right, had large shoes to fill as is. Evans’ Captain America became a beloved MCU figure, capturing the character’s stoic leadership.

Some fans don’t trust the character swap, thinking it’s Hollywood’s latest woke switcheroo. The shift has precedent in the Marvel Comics’ canon, though, and Evan’s Cap bowed out gracefully in “Avengers: Endgame.”

And then Mackie said this about the film and his iconic character.

“Captain America represents a lot of different things & I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations. It’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity and integrity.”

The undated clip reminds us of how Warner Bros. treated the Superman reboot. The character’s classic line – “fighting for Truth, Justice and the American Way” got clipped to appease woke sensibilities.

That “update” got shredded on social media and captured the disgust many fans have with the “new” take on classic heroes.

America in 2025 is pushing past those woke sentiments, typified by the re-election of President Donald Trump.

Now this.

X (AKA Twitter) went berserk with the Mackie clip. Here’s just a sample of the snarkier responses.

More Evidence That Both China And Environmental Activists Hate America

It isn’t bad enough that they are pumping enough fentanyl into America to numb the population and support groups like BLM and liberals, now this. China pollutes more than the rest of the world combined (except India), yet scoffs at stupid human tricks like the Paris Climate Accord, meant to penalize the USA most of all.

American energy independence is under attack from a shadowy alliance that threatens the foundation of our national security and economic prosperity. On the surface, we see radical environmental activists interrupting corporate shareholder meetings, blocking traffic, and vandalizing artwork. But behind these increasingly aggressive protests lies a more insidious threat: the Chinese Communist Party, which quietly bankrolls these same activists through a complex web of foundations and activist networks. Through dark money, China exploits environmental activism to undermine America’s energy sector. This dangerous partnership between foreign adversaries and domestic extremists demands immediate Congressional action – including comprehensive investigations into Chinese funding of domestic American nonprofits and new laws protecting American energy infrastructure. The security of America’s energy future hangs in the balance, and we can no longer afford to ignore this coordinated assault on our nation’s vital interests.

The evidence of Beijing’s strategic manipulation of American environmental groups has been mounting for years, but recent investigations have exposed the actual depth of these connections. Through a sophisticated network of foundations, consulting firms, and environmental organizations, the Chinese Communist Party has established multiple channels to funnel money and influence into groups working to obstruct American energy development. Beijing’s influence becomes clear when following the money. For example, Climate Defiance is one of the most aggressive new environmental groups making headlines nationwide. More than half of their 2023 funding flowed through the Oil and Gas Action Network – an organization supported by the Energy Foundation, whose Chinese office maintains deep ties to the Chinese Communist nation and Chinese nationals with direct links to the regime. Similarly, investigations reveal several other prominent environmental groups receive substantial funding through organizations with documented connections to Beijing, including research institutes that coordinate with Chinese state entities and foundations that partner with CCP-controlled ecological agencies.

China’s financial support of American environmental groups raises a crucial question that cuts to the heart of Beijing’s strategy: Why would the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter and most prominent financier of fossil fuel projects globally invest in funding American environmental protesters? The answer reveals a calculated effort to weaken American energy independence: these radical groups are unknowingly doing China’s dirty work by targeting and disrupting America’s vital energy infrastructure projects.

The numbers tell the story of China’s true environmental priorities. China’s greenhouse gas emissions are double those of the United States, while Chinese institutions lead the world in financing new fossil fuel developments. These facts expose an obvious truth—China’s interest isn’t in saving the environment but in sabotaging America’s energy independence and economic competitiveness.

The tactical playbook of these Chinese-backed environmental groups has become increasingly aggressive and disruptive. Environmental activists have shut down a New York Times climate conference, declaring that “climate criminals should not be allowed in polite society.” They’ve disrupted major sporting events, vandalized priceless artworks, blocked highways during rush hour, and damaged construction equipment to cause massive delays at pipeline sites.

These aren’t random acts of civil disobedience – they’re part of a coordinated strategy to weaken American energy infrastructure and drive-up consumer costs. The groups behind these actions openly admit their radical aims. The Climate Emergency Fund’s executive director recently told The New Republic that movements “need to have a radical flank that is disrupting normalcy.”
