The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has marked approximately 3.2 million Social Security number-holders for people aged 120 and older as “deceased” as part of ongoing efforts to root out fraud.
DOGE, headed by tech mogul Elon Musk, announced the move on Tuesday after the Social Security Administration (SSA) spent the last two weeks working on a “major cleanup of their records”:
While the table posted by the department shows 3,261,057 number-holders being removed from the “living” count, millions of accounts belonging to people purporting to be up to 159 years old still remain, awaiting review.
“More work still to be done,” DOGE added in its post on X.
Musk called out the SSA for having impossibly old number-holders in its registry in a scathing February post, showing thousands of people supposedly in their 200s, and one even in their 300s:
“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!” the DOGE chief and X owner wrote. “Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.”
A recent Rasmussen poll that asked people if they would “support or oppose having the Department of Government Efficiency do an audit of the Social Security system” found that 59 percent would strongly (41 percent) or somewhat (18 percent) approve of that audit, with only 35 percent opposed it.
Social security experts who spoke with PolitiFact offered two possible explanations for the staggering numbers of accounts that appear to belong to millions of super-centenarians:
Government databases may code someone as 150 years old for reasons peculiar to the large and complex Social Security database.
Improper payments are a longstanding concern for the agency, though they represent a small share of all payments.
According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a missing value for a date is coded as May 20, 1875 — the date that the international standards-setting conference, the “Convention du Mètre,” was held in Paris.
It is necessary to note that the SSA has been automatically stopping payments to account holders over 115 years of age since September 2015, so DOGE is not necessarily stating that the administration has been making payments to the aforementioned 3.2 million accounts.
A report from the SSA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) states that the administration has not established a new system capable of properly logging death information, resulting in nearly 19 million Social Security numbers for people born in 1920 or earlier not being labeled as deceased.
After President Donald Trump brought up the suspicious database issue in February, SSA Acting Commissioner Lee Dudek thanked him and vowed to continue the investigation.
“I thank President Trump for highlighting these inconsistencies during his speech last night to a joint session of Congress,” Dudek said in a statement. “We are steadfast in our commitment to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in our programs, and actively correcting the inconsistencies with missing dates of death.”
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.
Those zany female pilots are at it again—only this time, they’re clipping wings and careening down the runway. The latest DEI disaster in the skies is just another example of what happens when identity politics trumps qualifications. But before we nosedive into this latest catastrophe, let’s rewind to a recent “girl power” moment that ended in flames.
You probably remember the Endeavor Air runway fiasco—not just a near-miss, but a full-on crash landing. The plane, proudly manned by an all-female crew, touched down upside down and skidded down the tarmac in a fiery spectacle. Passengers were no doubt reliving their worst nightmares as the aircraft scraped across the ground, proving once again that diversity hires don’t make for safe landings.
The airline industry has been hit hard by the left’s dangerous and deadly DEI movement. The once “friendly skies” are now a crapshoot of confusion, chaos, and calamity. And speaking of DEI disasters, we recently covered a story about an FAA supervisor who actually fed test answers to a group of unqualified minority applicants taking an air traffic control exam.
DEI is slowly but surely destroying this country. It’s gotten so bad—so deeply entrenched in every system—that President Trump has made eradicating it a cornerstone of his administration. And not a moment too soon.
Just look at this latest bombshell, courtesy of a Daily Mail exclusive. They got their hands on a voicemail from a DEI activist and FAA supervisor who, according to their report, handed out critical answers to an air traffic control exam—to a select group of minority candidates.
No wonder the once “friendly skies” have turned so deadly…
DEI activist allegedly caught sharing air traffic controller exam answers with minority candidates in leaked audio obtained by the Daily Mail
Shelton Snow, a prominent figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), was caught in a shocking audio clip promising advance access to test answers
‘There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,’ says Snow
‘I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question.’
The inside information was offered in 2014 to African Americans, females, and other minority candidates, while Whites were excluded to “minimize competition.”
It remains unknown how many candidates benefited from Snow’s offer to secure coveted air traffic controller jobs
Snow stated, “We can give you advance access to test answers,” as reported by DailyMail
But one former NBCFAE member, Matthew Douglas, told DailyMail: ‘I know several people who cheated and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak.’

Two decades ago, CBS aired a bombshell report on the flu shot, revealing a truth that health officials didn’t want to admit. Despite flu shot uptake among seniors skyrocketing from 15% to 65%, flu deaths continued to climb. It doesn’t fucking work and the whole thing is a farce.
NIH scientists were devastated. They expected the data to confirm the vaccine’s effectiveness. But instead, their own research shattered that assumption. So they assumed other factors must be “masking the true benefits of the shots.”
Sharyl Attkisson reported at the time, “No matter how they crunched the numbers, they got the same disappointing result. Flu shots have not reduced deaths among the elderly.”
Atkisson, the reporter in the above clip, later left mainstream news to become an independent journalist focused on exposing Big Pharma, government corruption, and mainstream media lies.
Going back to the story, the scientists looked at the flu shot data of other countries in hopes of finding more optimistic data. But what they found instead was “the same poor results in Australia, France, Canada, and the UK.”
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 spoiled children of indulgent parents have no conception of gratitude.
In like manner, privileged leftists who enjoy disproportionate protections for free speech have no idea what free speech really means.
According to WNBC in New York, officials at Columbia University in New York City have finally announced punishments for an unspecified number of students who forcibly occupied a building on campus last April as part of pro-Palestinian protests against the war in Gaza.
During those protests, a group of students used furniture and padlocks to barricade themselves inside Hamilton Hall.
The Columbia Daily Spectator, the university’s student newspaper, cited a social media post from a campus organization indicating that the university had suspended, expelled, or revoked the degrees of 22 students in total.
Of course, the announcement of these punishments occurred amid — surprise, surprise — rising tensions on the Ivy League campus.
I’ve known these kids think their shit doesn’t stink because Mommy and Daddy have a lot of money. I’ve had to work with these assholes who really don’t get that good of an education at the Ivy’s unless they have a connection on Wall Street.
As philosopher and statesman Edmund Burke famously said in 1795: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
All those who did nothing are also responsible for the global human rights violations of the covid era. And of course the covid enthusiasts who acted as snitches, and joyfully targeted friends and neighbors for punishment deserve our ire. Beyond that you have those directly responsible, the media which utterly failed in their duty as the 4th estate resorting instead to publishing Big Pharma and government issues talking points as “news”; the medical community, with few exceptions; the academics; the teachers; I could go on.
The vaccine (and of course mandates — which people lost jobs over) have disappeared from public consciousness. I mean does anyone actually get that thing anymore?
We are still reminded of masks, as any good leftist protesting about anything — from Teslas and DOGE to “freeing Palestine” to protesting in favor of kids taking mutilating, life-altering hormones to “become” the opposite sex — dons one, still. It is the uniform of “good lefties” or what I would call the “unhinged.” Which it always was really.
There has been no denunciation of those that drove lockdowns and distancing and toddler masking. These public health bureaucrats should be run out of their jobs and never be allowed to set any policy (or “make recommendations”) again. Randi Weingarten should not have any job that has any bearing on children’s lives.
Sure Fauci has retired. But people like Barbara Ferrer (LA) and Sara Cody (Santa Clara county) still hold their positions after destroying small businesses and locking kids out of school for a year and a half and putting disrupted schooling in place for another year after that. And, of course, they force masked 2 year olds as well as speech delayed toddlers and hearing impaired adolescents. This was state sanctioned child abuse from the outset. So forgive me, but the modest acknowledgement that maybe we went too far, brings cold comfort.
I do not feel redeemed. I just feel angry, still, when I think about it. I mostly try not to.
So many kids’ lives were altered and harmed forever. So many milestones they can never get back. And if these concerns were raised at the time (remember drive through graduations?) parents were mocked for saying those things mattered. They were Karens and racists and murderers and selfish for thinking any of that mattered and every stupid vilifying name the idiotic covid hysterics could think of was trained on us.
I believe that COVID-19 has been a kind of hydrostatic stress test for each place and each person around the world. Each system’s weakness has been revealed. Countries overburdened with regulations have been punished for their over regulation. Countries that have a penchant for authoritarian and/or incompetent leaders have had those leaders exposed. And countries that have factious, distrustful cultures have paid the price for their factious, distrustful cultures.
This stress test has occurred within our individual lives, as well. Couples that had been burying their problems for years quickly had them exposed. Weak and opportunistic friendships got washed out. Fragile careers were broken. Miserable lifestyles replaced.
But the stress test of hardship doesn’t just expose weakness, it also reinforces strength. Good relationships become better. Important decisions get made. Priorities get straightened out.
Five years ago, politicians and bureaucrats went berserk and pointlessly ravaged Americans’ freedom. The Covid-19 pandemic provided the pretext to destroy hundreds of thousands of businesses, padlock churches, close down schools, and effectively place hundreds of millions of Americans under house arrest. Despite all the forced sacrifices, most Americans contracted covid and more than a million were listed as dying from the virus.
“Pandemic Security Theater Is Self-Destructive, And Won’t Make Us Safer” was the headline of my first salvo against the pandemic hysteria, published on March 24, 2020 in the Daily Caller. I scoffed at President Trump’s proclamations about being a “wartime president at war with an invisible enemy.” Wartime presidents too easily pretend they’re on a mission from God to scourge all resistance. I warned: “The pandemic threatens to open authoritarian Pandora’s Boxes. Permitting governments to seize almost unlimited power based on shaky extrapolations of infection rates will doom our republic.”
From the start of the pandemic, the Mises Institute was in the forefront of condemning policies that eradicated prosperity in the name of public health. In a May 19, 2020 Mises piece headlined, “Hacksawing the Economy,” I noted, “The political response to COVID-19 is eerily similar to Civil War surgeons’ rationales for hacking off arms and legs…. As long as politicians claim that things would be worse if they had not amputated much of the economy, they can pirouette as saviors.”
Living in the Washington area, I had a front row seat for many of Covid-19’s biggest absurdities. After federal officials whipped up panic, “I Believe in Science” lawn signs popped up like mushrooms, soon accompanied by “Thank You, Dr. Fauci” placards. Those signs looked to me like frightful decorations of a Halloween that never ended.
Thoreau provided my lodestar for the pandemic: “A man sits as many risks as he runs.” I knew that isolation would make me too ornery for my own good. I had survived the flu plenty of times in prior decades and I didn’t reckon covid would deliver my coffin nails. I was a co-leader of a Meetup hiking group which continued hiking almost every weekend throughout the pandemic.
But politicians made such jaunts more difficult. In February 2021, President Biden decreed that face masks must be worn in national parks. Probably 95 percent of the National Park Service’s 800+ million acres is uncrowded 95 percent of the time. The only “evidence” to justify the mandate was that many Biden supporters were frightened or enraged whenever they saw anyone not wearing a mask. The new mandate quickly became an entitlement program for junior Stasi members.
I told attendees on my hikes that masks were optional but kvetching about other hikers wearing or not wearing masks was prohibited. Biden’s edict helped turn the C & O Canal Towpath—one of my favorite hiking venues—into a hotbed of self-righteousness. That Towpath was ten feet wide in most places, but it was the principle of the matter. I had numerous people furiously screaming at me because I wasn’t wearing a facemask as I strolled outside. If mask hecklers were especially persistent, I would shrug and ask them: “How is your therapy going?”
Washingtonians pride themselves on being smarter and better educated than most other Americans (okay, maybe excepting San Francisco and Boston). They instinctively knew that total servility was the only hope for surviving the pandemic, and maximizing hatred was the key to compliance. After Biden ordered 100 million adults to get injected with the covid vaccine, Biden derided the unvaxxed as aspiring mass murderers who only wanted “the freedom to kill you” with covid. (The Supreme Court struck down most of that illegal vax mandate.)
Thanks to Biden’s fear mongering, almost half of Democratic voters favored locking the unvaxxed into government detention facilities, according to an early 2022 Rasmussen poll. The same survey showed that almost half of Democrats favored empowering government to “fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy” of Covid-19 vaccines on social media. The Biden administration unleashed a massive censorship campaign on social media and beyond that effectively muzzled millions of Americans who doubted the feds.
At that point, most American adults were vaxxed, but the injections were catastrophically failing against the latest covid variant. There were a million new covid cases per day—mainly among the vaxxed—and most covid fatalities were occurring among the fully vaxxed.
But “best and brightest” Washingtonians retained their absolute faith in a command-and-control response to the pandemic. District of Columbia Mayor, Muriel Bowser, decreed that anyone who was not vaccinated and carrying proof of the jab was banned from entering any restaurant, bar, gym, or meeting space in her domain. Affluent Washingtonians happily rushed to get free software apps so the government could track them and their health status. That new app had a spiffy logo that quickly became the ultimate status symbol.
I stopped hosting hikes within DC city limits: I would be damned if I would condone Bowser’s biomedical caste system. But I did venture into DC in early 2022 to pay respects to an editor who was fleeing southward. Exiting at the Dupont Circle metro station, I briefly stepped out of a torrential downpour into an upscale coffee shop. Every table hosted a hefty warning sign: “Masks on & Vaccine Cards out!” Patrons were hectored: “All cafes and restaurants… are REQUIRED by the Mayor’s Office to check vaccine cards of dine-in customers. Thank you for helping us comply with local regulations to remain open!” Why didn’t that establishment just advertise the slogan: “Come Sip with the Gestapo!” I skedaddled before anybody asked to see a vax passport.
I was mystified why people would pay $6.50 for a coffee to be treated worse than parolees. Dupont Circle was home to many of DC’s best educated residents. The more graduate degrees they amassed, the more submissive they became. Flourishing your vax card proved your moral and intellectual superiority over anyone who balked at bending over again.
But it was a different story in Anacostia, the poorest part of the city, where one of the unsung heroes of the pandemic emerged. Blacks had a much lower vaccination rate and the mayor’s edict effectively made many of them second-class citizens. Bowser, Fauci, and a PBS film crew pounded on front doors in Anacostia and hectored residents to get injected. A guy in his 30s came to the front door of his row house, saw Fauci and the TV cameras, and condemned the entire covid carnival: “Y’all campaign is about fear. You all attack people with fear. That’s what this pandemic is.” He scorned the speedy vax approval: “Nine months is definitely not enough for nobody to be taking no vaccination that you all came up with.” Actually, the Biden White House had browbeat the Food and Drug Administration to unjustifiably grant final approval to the Pfizer vax. With the video cameras rolling, he angrily told Fauci and Bowser: “The people in America are not settled with the information that’s been given to us right now.” Watch the PBS Fauci “Vaccine Outreach” Anacostia brawl here.
Fauci and the PBS film crew probably thought that exchange exemplified the type of fools who refused to submit and be saved. Fauci justified covid mandates because average citizens “don’t have the ability” to determine what is best for them. But despite getting any and all boosters, Fauci was personally ravaged by covid at least three times. Fauci’s frauds began to be exposed, including his role in covertly bankrolling the reckless gain-of-function research that escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and killed seven million people worldwide. Instead of receiving a Nobel prize, Fauci was grateful that—on President Biden’s final day in office—he received a full presidential pardon for any and all of his crimes committed for the prior decade.
But what sort of savior scientist needs a presidential pardon, anyway?
A virus with a 99+ percent survival rate spawned a 100 percent presumption in favor of despotism. The government has no liability for the injections it mandates or the freedoms it destroys. The Covid-19 pandemic should teach Americans to never defer to “experts” who promise that granting them boundless power will keep everyone else safe. In the long run, people have more to fear from politicians than from viruses.
In the latest twist in the DEI scandal that’s rocked the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic controller testing, a diversity activist was allegedly caught in a recorded message promising answers to a behavioral examination for prospective controllers — but only if they were minorities or women.
While rumors of the answers being leaked to the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees have been in the public domain since well before the DEI scandal burst following a collision between a jetliner and a military helicopter on the approach to Ronald Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., in January, the recording of Shelton Snow — a major figure in the NBCFAE — obtained by the U.K.’s Daily Mail seems to confirm those rumors.
“There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,” Snow said in the message, first published Wednesday.
“I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question,” he added.
“Washington Suburban associate members, brothers, and sisters … I know that each of you are eager, very eager to apply for this job vacancy … and trust that after tonight, you will be able to do so,” he said.
“I am asking that you … allow me to provide you with an email that will be extremely crucial in the opening stages of this hiring process,” he added.
“There is some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of, and I’m going to send that to you via email. Trust and believe it will be something that you will appreciate to the utmost. Keep in mind, we are trying to maximize your opportunities.”
As the Daily Mail noted, the message came in 2014, after the Obama-era FAA “had controversially replaced its peer-reviewed cognitive exam with a ‘biographical’ quiz asking things like ‘how would you describe your ideal job’ and ‘classmates would remember me as humble or dominant?’
“Critics say the quixotic blend of multiple-choice questions was designed to screen out elite, mostly white students from FAA-accredited college courses who excelled in traditional aptitude tests,” the outlet noted. “Nonetheless, it was proving incredibly tricky for anyone to pass — with a 90 percent failure rate — when Snow decided to intervene.”
A Jan. 15, 2014 email from Snow, who was then president of the Washington Suburban chapter of the NBCFAE, laid out ways to stand out from the rest — including “buzz words” to be incorporated into applications.
“These buzzwords will flag your resume, thereby giving you the advantage over thousands of resumes that may flood the system,” he said.
Meanwhile, an agenda Snow set for a December 2013 “powwow” encouraged members to share that they were with the NBCFAE.
“This is for us to know who our people are in the case that we have one of our own on the board,” the agenda read.
Let me explain just how unfreakingbelievably corrupt the state of Nevada is…and how poorly our government covered up the Las Vegas shooting.
• John Pelletier is a well known corrupt POS in this town. Not only is he being accused of kidnapping a P Diddy rape victim by force, not only is he the same guy that got sent to Maui with a hefty raise to cover up for the fires there, but he was also the incident commander for the Las Vegas shooting. You know…that little “thing” where 59 people were murdered and the media dropped the story after only 2 weeks, because so many holes were popping up in the government’s story?
• What many people don’t know, is that the same corrupt Sheriff Joe Lombardo that let evidence walk off his crime seen, refused to name or investigate the 3 other people registered to Paddock’s room that night, and made up 3 different timelines until the casinos were pleased that they weren’t liable…..”won” Governor here, despite being hated and booed everywhere in public in a primary where over 40,000 people couldn’t vote due to a “DMV glitch.” (And yes the margin of winning between him and Joey Gilbert was less than that, and there was no redo or audit despite thousands of people including me petitioning for one.
• We are also home to a scum sucking, 4-time arrested Attorney General Aaron Ford that they want us to believe “won” reelection despite starting a crime wave and having some of the most violent, dangerous schools in America. This is also the same guy that wanted to revoke castle doctrine, so that home owners could be sued if someone broke into their homes and they defended themselves. When I asked via DM why he would ever do that….his answer was “what if the person breaking into your house was innocent?” It might be worth mentioning that one of his arrests included breaking and entering into his ex-girlfriend’s house…so that’s why he was pushing it. Last I checked, he had me illegally blocked on Twitter.
• This also the same county where Commisioner Tick Segerblom finally went viral after years of me trying to get the story out, for admitting he was a “minor attracted person” (pedo) on video. He’s the same guy that’s been pushing drag queens on little kids here, and certified his own fraudulent race despite over 3 and a 1/2 hours of testimony from poll watchers that couldn’t watch, and voters that couldn’t vote.
• Then there’s my congresswoman Susie Lee who I ran against in 2020. She’s currently complaining about all the wasteful cuts they’re making through Doge….despite having committed insider trading to the tune of millions, owning dozens of homes, 2 private jets, and receiving covid relief funds for her husbands casinos. Kevin McCarthy and the GOP chose to back my violent opponent Dan Rodimer over me much to the dismay of local patriots….and Rodimer was just convinced of MURDER a few months ago, just like I had tried to warn everyone about.
• You see, Michael McDonald, Jesse Law, Alida, and the rest of the Nevada GOP RINO scumbags have been gatekeeping and working with the Dems this entire time to maintain their corrupt status quo. No one that is America First is even allowed to win here, and fake candidates like Scam Brown are propped up to lose specifically so they can profit off their campaign funds.
I have been screaming from the rooftops to the deaf ears of the local fake news outlets and BS mainstream media for years now. Below I will include the full length documentary I put together after half a year of reading every police and FBI report, listening to hundreds of 911 calls, and interviewing first responders on the down low.
They murdered us here like fish in a barrel….this shooting is solvable if only someone would get with me and the other investigators that worked on this. Our government will continue to mow us down with false flags and “shooters previously known to Feds” until we stand up and finally do something about it!
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.
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.
ICE arrests anti-Israel activist behind Columbia protests as green card hangs in the balance
FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump’s Department of Education announced Monday that 60 universities are currently under investigation for “antisemitic discrimination and harassment,” Fox News Digital has learned.
“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.”
Sooner or later, these indoctrination and elitist club facilities are going to gut themselves by their dissociation from the norms of the rest of society. I’ve been exposed to it for decades by having to work with these people. Almost in every case they are less qualified to do the work we needed and came in on school reputation rather than meritocracy
I usually love MLB’s special edition merch, but this ain’t it.
Last year when I was on vacation, I was scrolling through my phone one day and saw that Major League Baseball had released special edition hats in collaboration with rapper Drake’s October’s Very Own (OVO) brand. 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.”
Cutting greenhouse gas emissions was going to save the planet at no cost. Turns out it’s an economy wrecker, which is more feature than bug for many a climate alarmist.
Kallum Pickering, chief economist at Peel Hunt, a London-based investment bank, took on the claim of Labour Party British Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who said that pursuing net zero greenhouse gas emissions didn’t require a deceleration of economic growth. What he found was “sad to say,” but he stands by the facts.
“The result of the UK’s decarbonization efforts appears to be weak economic growth, stalling living standards, high energy prices and deindustrialization – without denting rising global emissions,” he wrote last week in the Telegraph.
“Net zero is strangling our economy,” says the headline over Pickering’s column, because “limiting available electricity has stifled productivity.”
On the Peel Hunt website, Pickering explained that data from 189 countries indicated there is “a strong positive correlation between living standards and energy consumption – showing a clear link between falling energy capacity and weak productivity in the UK.” He notes that “the decline in UK electricity supply, which started in 2006, coincided with the start of structural weakness in productivity growth.”
Bluntly put, without cheap and reliable energy, which is what we get from fossil fuels, an economy turns sclerotic. Which is why the political left works so feverishly to end gas and oil. As we have said so many times before, the agenda behind cutting greenhouse gases is in actuality an assault on capitalism, which, as the legendary Milton Friedman famously said, is the only economic system that has enabled the masses to escape from “grinding poverty.”
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.”
Pentagon Officials Caught Using Taxpayer-Funded Credit Cards at Casinos, Bars, and Nightclubs Totaling $1.3 BILLION
Washington, D.C. – A scathing new audit from the Department of Defense Inspector General (DODIG) has blown the lid off a jaw-dropping scandal: Pentagon officials have been using taxpayer-funded credit cards to bankroll gambling sprees, bar tabs, and late-night parties at nightclubs. While Americans scrape by amid soaring costs, the brass at the DoD have been living large—on your dime.
Taxpayer Money Down the Drain
The audit zeroes in on the Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) program, designed to cover official travel expenses for DoD personnel. Instead, it’s become a slush fund for reckless spending:
$387,642.66 blown at casinos and mobile app stores—think slot machines and Candy Crush, courtesy of taxpayers.
$112,484.69 racked up at bars, lounges, and nightclubs, with spikes during holidays and big games like the Super Bowl.
A staggering 3.9 million transactions worth $1.2 BILLION left unchecked because no one bothered to look.
This isn’t pocket change—it’s a full-on heist of public funds.
Oversight? What Oversight?
The Pentagon had a fancy tool, the Visa IntelliLink Compliance Management (VICM) system, meant to catch shady charges. But here’s the kicker:
The Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) ignored red flags, letting high-risk spending slide without a peep.
Hundreds of Program Coordinators—supposed to keep this in check—couldn’t even be bothered to log in.
Rules to spot fraud? Outdated and ignored, leaving the door wide open for abusers to keep swiping.
It’s like handing out free credit cards at a Vegas buffet and telling no one to watch the tab.
Déjà Vu All Over Again
This isn’t even new. Back in 2015, a similar audit caught DoD cardholders dropping cash at casinos and strip clubs. Promises were made, heads nodded—but nothing changed. A decade later, the party’s still going, and taxpayers are still footing the bill.
Your Money, Their Playground
Picture this: You’re juggling bills while some Pentagon hotshot pulls cash from a casino ATM or buys rounds at a nightclub—all charged to Uncle Sam. Meanwhile, the DoD begs Congress for more funding, claiming it’s strapped for cash to defend the nation. The audit says $1.2 billion in transactions went unscrutinized. That’s not a glitch—that’s a grift.
Where’s DOGE When You Need It?
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), hyped as the cure for government waste, is our best shot to slam the brakes on this nonsense. We need Elon Musk’s DOGE to put an end to this once and for all—starting with this $1.2 billion mess. Taxpayers can’t wait any longer for the cleanup to begin.
No One’s Paying the Price
Here’s the part that’ll make your blood boil: despite this damning evidence, not one official has been fired, fined, or even scolded. Zero accountability for millions squandered. The Pentagon’s silence is deafening, and taxpayers are left holding an empty wallet.
What do they think they are doing? Does anyone other than MSNBC or CNN think this is normal?
This will be my third story before BREAKFAST mocking the Democrats, and it’s not exactly the healthiest way to start a day. I’m just being honest here. Do you know how taxing it is to deal with these people before my percolator is even empty yet?
It’s exhausting. I’m already dipping, and it’s not even 9:30 yet. It’s bad. But, I’m a patriot, and I have to call ’em as I see ‘em.
I can let some of the nonsense slide – you almost have to at this point because it’s just a firehose – but when I see something like what you’re about to witness, I have no choice but to write about it.
It’s my duty. I took an oath when I joined OutKick to not give these lunatics an inch, and I’m doing just that.
So here you go, world. The Dems’ response to Donald Trump’s speech to congress the other night.
Starving animals is art. Are these people on drugs?
The three little pigs were rescued from the big, bad wolf.
Three piglets that were left to starve to death as part of a shocking art exhibit in Denmark have been stolen and saved from their horrific fate thanks to a 10-year-old girl begging her father to come to their rescue.

Artist Marco Evaristti opened the “And Now Your Care?” exhibit on Friday in Copenhagen to “wake up the Danish society” to the cruel treatment of factory-farmed pigs in the nation that is one of the world’s largest pork exporters.
To make his point, the native Chilean constructed a cage of hay and shopping carts, trapping a trio of adorable piglets inside with the express purpose of allowing them to starve to death.
But the tiny pigs have been given a second chance at life after the conscience of a friend of the artist, Caspar Steffensen, prevailed over the unsavory demonstration.
Despite graduating from high school with “honors” and being accepted into the University of Connecticut on a scholarship, 19-year-old government-school victim Aleysha Ortiz cannot read or write. At all. Literally. And she’s hardly alone. Now, with help from an attorney, Ortiz is suing the city and the school board. And the national media is paying attention.
Ortiz moved to Hartford, Connecticut, from Puerto Rico as a young child and entered the local government school in first grade. She spent a full 12 years there, costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. But instead of teaching her literacy or writing, government school staff bullied and harassed her, according to the lawsuit alleging “negligence” and “infliction of emotional distress” extending through many years.
“My time in Hartford Public Schools was a time that I don’t wish upon anyone,” Ortiz told News 8 WTNH, one of the first outlets to pick up the story. “Every first day of school, I would tell the teacher I cannot read and write so please be patient for me, so everyone knew. I would cry knowing the people who had big titles knew this was happening, and no one stepped up to do something about it.”
Trump’s EPA has started the process to rescind the EPA’s authority to regulate CO2 and other alleged greenhouse gasses. It would remake our nation and shake a Western civilization already being pummeled by green madness. These regulations, both here and abroad, have been stalking horses for socialism and vehicles for fraud. graft, and funding left-wing actors on a scale unseen in human history.
Until 2007, the US resisted the claim that CO2 was a pollutant that could be regulated to adjust the world’s climate. That year, five activist Supreme Court Justices donned white lab coats of climate scientists in Massachusetts v. EPA to hold that the Clean Air Act was written so broadly that it gave the EPA, created simply to clean up pollution, almost unlimited authority to regulate carbon dioxide, an essential, albeit minute, part of our atmosphere.
This judicial overreach mattered because even a super-majority of congressional Democrats had rejected a law that would have authorized the EPA to regulate CO2. Armed with this Supreme Court ruling, Obama’s EPA acted unilaterally in 2009 to declare CO2 a pollutant it could regulate. How’s that for spitting in the face of Art. 1, Section 1 of the Constitution, which holds that the power to legislate is vested solely in Congress?
Climate science is little more than modern Lysenkoism. It has been subject to decades of gatekeeping in universities, grant-making entities, the UN, and science journals, all working together to suppress any challenges to “the anthropogenic climate change consensus.” All too often, “climate modeling has transformed from a scientific tool into a mechanism for manufacturing hysteria.”
Many climate studies rely on questionable peer review as ostensible proof of their reliability rather than reproducing the studies.
Notably, there has been no increase in the number or severity of weather-related disasters for decades. The actual trendline, according to Roger Pielke, Jr., is completely flat.
[T]he completely false notion that global weather and climate disasters have increased and will continue to increase is commonly reported in the legacy media, buoyed by the promotion of false information by organizations that include the United Nations. In 2020 the U.N. claimed falsely of a “staggering rise in climate-related disasters over the last twenty years.”
I still can’t believe people fall for this. They can’t predict the weather next week let alone years from now. They can predict a scare to raise and hustle money thought, what it really is about.
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.
Man Has No Choice But To Divorce His Wife After Catching Her Cheating On Him With Another Couple
There were many red flags over their 18-year relationship that were noticed, but for the most part brushed aside and ignored. That ended when he caught his wife sneaking their sex toy back into the house.
It was at that moment he was able to connect all the dots. The man realized that he was being cheated on by his wife and that she was cheating on him with her best friend and her best friend’s fiancé.
Better yet, have you seen the South Park episode about the Museum of Tolerance? When I watch these videos or read anything hive mind-like, I hear the many people in the audience repeat in the same voice, “The museum tells us!”
Prominent Democrats lack at least five essential qualities: intelligence, wisdom, basic decency, a filter, and recognition of their own interests.
No one personifies those gargantuan deficiencies more than Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas.
In an interview Sunday with MSNBC’s Alex Witt, host of “Alex Witt Reports,” Crockett put all of those deficiencies on display when she labeled President Donald Trump “an enemy to the United States.”
“Unfortunately, we have someone that is occupying the White House,” Crockett said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.
Note her use of the word “occupying” to denote a duly elected president.
Then came Crockett’s most reckless, reprehensible, and unhinged comment to-date.
“And as far as I’m concerned he is an enemy to the United States,” she said.
To remove the possibility of a metaphorical interpretation, the congresswoman continued in that same vein.
“He swore an oath just like the rest of us,” she said. “But right now, when you are literally putting us at risk all ’cause of what — because you want to convince your followers that you should be a dictator, too, that you should never leave the White House, because you don’t believe that elections should take place. I don’t really understand what is going on, and I don’t know what it’s gonna take to get people to wake up.”
The DEI Con has enriched thousands of hustlers nationwide. It has embedded many hundreds of apparatchiks and supernumeraries in college bureaucracies, and it will require herculean efforts to root them all out. And it continues to attack the average person for the most dubious of ideologically motivated reasons in “training” sessions, both on the campuses and in corporate America.
I first heard the actual acronym DEI expressed while I was in a 7-11 on the campus during the early days of the COVID pandemic, and it was two masked graduate students discussing the wonderful employment possibilities of this new initiative, which sounded like someone trying to monetize kumbaya. Already steeped in leftist ideology and its tactic of renaming and relabeling its hooey for new generations of suckers, I was only vaguely aware that this was just the latest brand for the newest social justice foray in higher education.
Anyone on a college campus subjected to the mediocrity of a DEI hustler knew there was something wrong with it.
It was not noble. It was not idealistic. It was not the many wonderful things its proponents said. It was one thing to the public, and it was another altogether when enacted on the campuses. It was weird and alien and hateful at its core, but the public is rarely exposed to any of this. It was the classic Potemkin village offering, with a façade masking a brute, racialist substance.
In other words, it was a con. In fact, it was the biggest Con Story of the 21st century, with America’s universities the biggest suckers imaginable. And the crowning achievement of Western civilization—the modern university—tottered under the assault of mediocrity, racialism, and pseudoscience.
I suppose that folks duped by the big cons will eventually retreat in their embarrassment at having been fooled by one of the shadiest Con Stories ever deployed. Even now, DEI is in retreat. As it plays out in its final act, I assure you that it will dissipate in a flurry of new acronyms and new labels designed to hide its failure.
Its proponents will roll out new slogans to replace the vapid “Diversity is our strength.” Already, “inclusive excellence” is supplanting DEI as this trusty acronym becomes freighted with failure. The Con Story will morph and adapt. Reluctantly. Buzzwords will change, new slogans will be coined, but the underlying ideology will remain the same as it always has. It must serve yeoman’s duty for the Big Con.
Elaborate and elegant Con Stories have played major political roles for centuries, baiting and hooking marks with promises of utopia. The most convincing Con Story of them all is that of Karl Marx, whose fabulous pseudoscience has duped millions of the credulous to support murderous regimes in the name of “social justice.” It still does.
It has been one of the biggest lies for people who don’t want to work as hard as others or want something for free. A lot of people stole a lot of money for doing nothing.
Bias based on any skin color is racism, even white.
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.
I’ve never seen a happy feminist, they are always whining about things not being fair. It’s like DEI, don’t expect something for free in life. Stop swimming upstream to the sharks

“The View” host Sunny Hostin complained during Monday’s show about some resurfacing racially-charged posts made by one of the young men billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk brought in to work on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project.
This is how embarrassing Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett is: Despite sharing the same far-left viewpoints and clout-chasing tendencies as its other members, Crockett has never been admitted to the so-called “squad.”
Perhaps this is her choice, but I doubt it. After all, getting into the club connects you with progressive activist favorites like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. And it’s not as if they’re especially picky when it comes to membership. All you have to be is young and very liberal. You can be shamelessly corrupt (Omar), anti-Semitic (former Rep. Jamaal Bowman), or both (former Rep. Cori Bush.)
Ergo, there has to be a reason why Crockett isn’t in the group. She told Politico it’s because, campaigning in Texas, the label is poison.
This doesn’t sound right, given the fact that she represents a district so deeply blue it’ll elect … well, her

Here’s another big win for DEI hiring—Mark Brave, New Hampshire’s first black sheriff, just pled guilty to a laundry list of felonies. Shocking? No, not one bit. This is what happens when you focus on checking diversity boxes instead of hiring the best person for the job. Sadly, we see this happening everywhere these days.

During a Friday appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett made several astute remarks about the United States and the federal government, all while revealing that she actually hates the country she serves. It was a train wreck of an interview

Don’t forget now, Black History Month still isn’t over. At the University of Hawaii,
Black history and culture are being celebrated at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa with a series of events and collaborations throughout February.
Events include basketball and a special Black History Month Dinner next Tuesday featuring “fried chicken, baked mac and cheese, sweet potatoes and cornbread.”
Normally, associating blacks with fried chicken is regarded as thoughtcrime. But you can’t blame moonbats in Hawaii for resorting to stereotypes regarding blacks, who make up only 2.2% of the population. The important thing is that they bend the knee piously in accordance with their religion, cultural Marxism.
Pro-Farrakhan pastor leading Target DEI boycott calls Black Trump supporters ‘coons’ and ‘runaway slaves’ – White people are shaking their heads
Dr. Jamal Bryant, head of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, recently called for a 40-day “fast” from shopping at Target during the upcoming Lenten season, arguing that the company has “spit in the face” of Black people by ending its commitment to DEI and joining a growing list of prominent companies to do so, including McDonald’s, Walmart and Ford.
This self-proclaimed “super mayor” is now a super loser.
Dolton “Dictator” Tiffany Henyard suffered a landslide loss in Tuesday’s Democratic primary after more than a year of seedy scandals, wild antics and haughty remarks that finally caught up to her at the ballot box.
The under-fire Illinois mayor finally ran into her kryptonite — voters in her own Chicago suburb that overwhelmingly picked village Trustee Jason House as the Democratic nominee.
With all precincts reporting, House notched nearly 88% of the vote while Henyard gained a measly 12%, according to Cook County election results.

Sadly, his internet fame likely gave Charles McDowell a bigger and better opportunity to become a very dangerous predator.
Fast forward seven years, and McDowell is back behind bars, this time for something far more horrific—sending naked photos to a minor. The man who was once just a funny meme now stands accused of preying on and abusing innocent children.
To be clear here, the Verizon communication system to air traffic control is breaking down very rapidly. The FAA assessment is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk.
The Starlink terminals are being sent at NO COST to the taxpayer on an emergency basis to restore air traffic control connectivity.
The “intelligence community” is one of the most powerful parts of the American national security apparatus. In theory, it works tirelessly to keep the nation safe. But according to internal documents that we obtained, some intelligence agency employees have another on-the-job priority: sex chats.
We have cultivated sources within the National Security Agency—one current employee and one former employee—who have provided chat logs from the NSA’s Intelink messaging program. According to an NSA press official, “All NSA employees sign agreements stating that publishing non-mission related material on Intelink is a usage violation and will result in disciplinary action.” Nonetheless, these logs, dating back two years, are lurid, featuring wide-ranging discussions of sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.
One popular chat topic was male-to-female transgender surgery, which involves surgically removing the penis and turning it into an artificial vagina. “[M]ine is everything,” said one male who claimed to have had gender reconstruction surgery. “[I]’ve found that i like being penetrated (never liked it before GRS), but all the rest is just as important as well.” Another intelligence official boasted that genital surgery allowed him “to wear leggings or bikinis without having to wear a gaff under it.”

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.
A dramatic near-miss at Chicago’s Midway Airport forced a Southwest Airlines plane to abort its landing after a small jet unexpectedly crossed the runway.
A video of the shocking incident has surfaced, showing the Southwest aircraft performing a last-second “touch and go” maneuver to avoid disaster.
The close call is reminiscent of a similar situation at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in December, when a Delta jet nearly collided with a plane carrying the Gonzaga men’s basketball team.
The Midway incident adds to a growing list of aviation scares in 2025. While data shows air travel remains statistically safe, a series of crashes and near-misses have raised public concern.
WATCH:
This year’s aviation chaos started January 29, when a mid-air collision over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., killed all 67 people aboard an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter.
The crash, which occurred during the plane’s final approach to Reagan National Airport, is under investigation by the NTSB, with early findings pointing to possible air traffic control failures, miscommunication, and the helicopter flying at an incorrect altitude.
The tragedy deeply impacted the figure skating community, as several young skaters and their families were among the victims. Meanwhile, a victim’s family has filed a $250 million lawsuit against the FAA and the U.S. Army, citing negligence. The incident, along with recent aviation safety concerns, has led to a decline in public confidence in air travel.
More recently, a Delta Connection flight from Minneapolis flipped upside down while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on February 17, with 80 people on board. While all passengers survived, 21 were injured, including a child and two adults who were initially in critical condition.
Delta offered each passenger $30,000 as compensation, though at least one survivor has since filed a lawsuit against the airline. Investigators are looking into weather conditions and crew experience as possible factors in the crash.
Here are some of the most notable aviation incidents this year:
January 29 – The devastating crash in Washington, D.C., resulted in 67 fatalities.
January 31 – A medevac jet crashed in Philadelphia, killing seven people.
February 6 – A regional airline flight in Nome, Alaska, went down, claiming 10 lives.
February 14 – A fatal crash in Pierson, Florida, took the life of the pilot.
In total, 88 people have died in seven aviation incidents in the U.S. in 2025, according to Fox4.
I’ve been there and know people there who told me that once they started importing the goat herders, it became the rape capital of Europe.
The globalists have peddled a lot of lies. Off the top of our heads is the climate change hoax and COVID sham. But one of the deadliest and life-altering of all their fraudulent initiatives is the “Diversity Is Our Strength” scam.
Turns out, diversity isn’t just a bad idea—it’s downright deadly. It’s a nuclear bomb to tradition, stability, and any culture that isn’t based on Islam.
Just look at Stockholm. Once a peaceful, charming, and thriving city—is now a war zone. Thanks to unchecked migration, parts of Sweden are more dangerous than Baghdad. Bombings are a regular occurrence, and someone is murdered every 28 hours.
This isn’t progress. This is the deliberate destruction of the West, sold to us as strength. And Sweden is just the canary in the coal mine.
These are the Swedes who helped turn their once-great country into a deathtrap, all so they could score some progressive brownie points:
Now, thanks to yet another failed left-wing globalist agenda, there’s full-blown panic in Sweden as the country goes from calm, safe, and peaceful—to a literal hellhole of violence and filth.
Explosions in Stockholm have become so frequent the city’s estate agents are listing ‘no bombings’ in their ‘pro’ columns when advertising properties for neighbourhoods buyers might be unfamiliar with.
Already this month there have been more than 30 bomb attacks including a blast in which an elderly man lost his leg. Last year, a 20-year-old recently graduated teacher was killed in an explosion.
As the property adverts demonstrate, the horror has started to blend into the background. It has become so normal for Swedes to learn that an apartment complex or shopfront has been blown to bits that some attacks barely make the news.
The Republican party is now the “proud voice” of everyday Americans across the country — and the party of “common sense,” President Trump declared Saturday during his keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
“Our party has become the proud voice of hard-working citizens of every race, religion, color and creed, and I think one of the main reasons — not that we are conservative or anything — [is] we are the party of common sense. It’s about common sense,” he told the crowd of about 1,000 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.
“Over the past month, we’ve confirmed an all-star team of warriors, patriots, visionaries who put the America First agenda into action,” he added.
And his team has been working overtime, he said.
“The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists and deep-state bureaucrats are being sent packing.”
“The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists and deep-state bureaucrats are being sent packing,” the 78-year-old commander in chief crowed to the adoring CPAC crowd of 1,000 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.
Later, Trump blasted his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, calling him the “worst president in the history of our country.”
“I don’t care. I’ll say it. Jimmy Carter passed away, and he was a happy man when he passed away because it’s not even close,” the president continued in his verbal onslaught.
Hamas terrorists murdered Ariel and Kfir Bibas, aged four and ten months, “with their bare hands,” the forensic examination carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) showed. Terrorists then mutilated their bodies to cover up their heinous crime, the autopsy found.
The Gaza-based terrorist group has been claiming that the Bibas boys and their mother Shiri were killed in an Israeli airstrike weeks after their abduction, but the investigation of the recovered bodies reveals that they were “murdered in cold blood,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement Friday.
“Contrary to Hamas’s lies, Ariel and Kfir were not killed in an airstrike. Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari disclosed Friday.
“The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys—they killed them with their bare hands. Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities. This assessment is based on both forensic findings from the identification process, and intelligence that supports the findings,” he added.
It’s remarkable that they haven’t identified the pilots. It’s almost like they are trying to hide who they are. I bet if they were two white guys, the names would have been out the day of the crash.
In Marxist regimes, no one suffers more than the people whom Marxists deceived on their way to acquiring power. The poor, whose interests Marxists claimed to protect, experience only deeper poverty, exploitation, and oppression.
The Western world’s recent obsession with diversity, equity, and inclusion policies constitutes a similar phenomenon, which stands to reason. After all, DEI rests on the same ideological foundation as Marxism.
Wednesday on the social media platform X, the prominent conservative account “End Wokeness” posted a disturbing pair of older tweets from Endeavor Air suggesting that the operator prioritized all-female crews.
Endeavor Air was the operator of the Delta Connection flight 4819, which suffered a harrowing but non-fatal crash Monday when one of its passenger jets lost a wing, erupted in flames and rolled upside down after landing on a Canadian runway.
“We’re committed to delivering more ‘unmanned’ flights like these,” a 2017 Endeavor Air tweet read. A photo of four women, two of whom appeared to be dressed as pilot and co-pilot, accompanied the tweet.
“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.
NEW: Dr. Deborah Birx admits the COVID shots were pushed on the wrong people, saying the rollout on young people ignored the science.
Now, she tells us.
“The messenger RNA vaccine should have been rolled out for the people that were at risk for severe disease because that’s what the vaccine was developed for,” Birx said.
She also confessed the COVID shot was never “designed” to prevent infection:
“That is not what the COVID vaccine was designed to do. It wasn’t designed against infection.”
People lost their jobs under the lie that no one was safe until everyone was vaccinated.
Now, four years later, they admit young people never really needed it–and it wasn’t even designed to prevent infection.
The incredible — meaning, completely predictable — thing here is that she seems to be blaming other people for what she herself did.
For example, she says that when we say “we believe in The Science (TM)” we must actually follow the science and not just say that as a public relations tagline.
But she’s the one who pumped out a ton of lies while claiming “we believe in The Science (TM).” She is scolding us — “we” erred, she says — when she was the architect of the scheme of constant, remorseless lies and propaganda about the non-vaccines.
I didn’t lie about the non-vaccines. Why am I part of the “we” that must do better, and must tell the truth about what the science actually is instead of corrupting it into yet another Democrat Party moral blackmail propaganda point?
Note that she has already previously admitted that when Trump would give her an order to change the guidelines for “re-opening” and ending lockdowns, she would deliberately write the guidelines in such a way as to require further lockdowns, while lying to Trump to claim that she had obeyed his orders. She also admitted that she would call state and local authorities on the phone to tell them that no matter what the guidelines said, they should ignore them and continue imposing lockdowns.
The western public has been hearing a lot about “genocide” in recent years, from the genocide of indigenous peoples, to the genocide of Palestinians to the genocide of trans people. The demand is that these concerns be taken seriously whether they are realistic or exaggerated, that reparations be distributed and that refugees be taken in by the millions. The underlying narrative is always the same – “White colonialism” is the ultimate culprit behind every social injustice in the world and marginalized minorities are perpetual victims that require protection.
But what happens when white people are the minority under attack?
That’s a question that’s simply not acceptable according to the establishment media, and any suggestion that such a thing is possible is treated as an act of xenophobia. White people can never be considered a “marginalized minority”. This is the conundrum the western public often encounters when the issue of South Africa is broached.
The country’s well known history of segregation and Apartheid, which was dismantled from 1990 to 1993, is publicized and dramatized constantly in the media and by Hollywood. However, the aftermath is barely discussed.
Nelson Mandela, a member of the South African Communist Party and a co-founder of the terrorist group “uMkhonto we Sizwe” in 1961, was elected the first black president of the nation in 1994 and rebranded as a civil rights hero akin to Martin Luther King. After a honeymoon period of around ten years the country’s economy went into a steady spiral. Unemployment has now exploded to over 30%.
As with all countries under socialist/communist influence, the habit when faced with economic crisis is to divert blame to convenient scapegoats and steal resources wherever possible. Often, farmers are the people most abused by leftist governments. In the case of South Africa, such abuse is rationalized by social justice ideology and the fact that most of the farmers are white (therefore, they deserve to be robbed or killed).
Despite media attempts to suppress news of white genocide there is an ongoing problem of violent attacks on whites in the region. It has become commonplace for families to hide within gated homes with steel doors (inside and outside) due to persistent targeting for robbery, rape and murder. Many are considering leaving the country entirely.
It’s ironic that once they took the farms from the whites, there was a food shortage. The country went to shit and nothing works. They can’t even keep the electricity on
I don’t know, I didn’t watch it, but here’s what happened. The players even said it sucked
NBA All-Star Weekend is so cooked.
When it comes to the league’s annual event, it’s no secret that a lot of people have lost interest, and to the NBA fans who still exist, there’s a lot of grumblings among them. And those grumblings and lack of interest get worse and worse as time goes along.
In an attempt to fix up things, or at least put a Band-Aid on it, the league decided to try out a four-team tournament this year that would replace the typical All-Star Game.
The four squads competing were picked by the co-hosts of “Inside the NBA,” playing in games where the team who reaches 40 points first is the winner. It ended up being Team Shaq vs. Team Charles Barkley in the championship, with Team Shaq getting the victory that absolutely nobody cared about.
The product was horrible, and I mean horrible. So horrible that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James didn’t even play Sunday. It was that bad.
Hell, it was so terrible that Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green straight up said it “sucks” right on live national television. My man didn’t give a damn!
Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that his team at the Department of Government Efficiency found some supposed 150-year-olds on the Social Security rolls.
The multibillionaire entrepreneur and leader of the government reform project said in remarks to the media in the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump that his team is discovering some “crazy things” as they open Uncle Sam’s books.
“Just a cursory examination of Social Security and we’ve got people in there that are about 150 years old,” Musk told reporters.
“Now, do you know anyone that’s 150? I don’t,” he continued. “They should be in the Guinness Book of World Records, they’re missing out.”
“So, you know, that’s the case where, like, I think they’re probably dead is my guess, or they should be very famous. One of the two,” he added.
A woman in the driver’s seat of the front car then steps out and delivers an eloquent soliloquy on the dangers of imprudent vehicular navigation straight out of a modern remake of Shakespeare’s “Tempest.”
“Let’s go! Get out of the f***ing car! You were riding my f***ing a**! Get out of the f***ing car there, b****!” the woman screams to the driver of the red car. “Get out! Get out!”
It can’t be heard what the driver of the car said, but she responded, “I didn’t touch your f***ing car, b****!” At that point, a man got out of the driver’s side of the red car to calm the situation down.
“Come and touch me … come and put your f***ing hands on me! I ain’t drivin’ crazy! Your b**** was on my g*****n a**!” so sayeth our cultured protagonist.
The man did not put his hands on her, so she obliged by … telling him to get out of her face, and when he did, punching him in the face.
Given biological differences between the genders and the fact that crazy people don’t necessarily make for the wisest, most prudent street-fighters, you can probably guess what happened next:
Like always, she got her ass kicked when she thought she could take a guy. It’s why we don’t believe that girls are really hero’s because shit like this always happens. They watch Black Widow or the Flag Football commercial at the Super Bowl and think they aren’t going to get an ass whooping.
Liberal Women Are Lonely And Unhappy According To Recent Polls
The news must come as a shock to most, but it turns out that liberal women in the US are very unhappy. A recently released poll from the American Family Survey held in 2024 shows that only 12% of liberal women are satisfied with their lives and that they are three times more likely to experience loneliness compared to conservative women.
The data reinforces a number of surveys over the years which reveal a continuing plunge in relative happiness among progressive western women despite their admission that they have more independence than ever before.
Brad Wilcox, a sociology professor at the University of Virginia and fellow at the Institute for Family Studies who analyzed the survey’s data, said he believes there are a couple of reasons why conservative young women are more likely to be happier than their liberal counterparts.
“We’ve seen in the research that conservative women tend to be more likely to embrace a sense of agency and to have the sense that they are not, in any way, the victim of larger structural realities or forces,” he told Fox News Digital. “They’re also less likely to catastrophize about public events and concerns,” and “more likely to think of themselves as captains of their own fate,” Wilcox added.
The survey also notes that conservative women are more likely to accept biological and social differences between males and females. The ideal was thought to be common sense for thousands of years but has come under fire from feminists in the past decade as a “social construct of the patriarchy”. The deconstruction of societal norms has been so pervasive, governments across the western world have tried to encode intersectional feminist taboos into law and punish people who remain skeptical.
One side effect of the rise of feminist authority that liberals apparently did not expect is the decline in relative happiness of women. The issue was fist noticed around 2009 when a study out of the University of Pennsylvania stunned the mainstream media – Despite decades of greater access to the jobs market, institutional influence and life options since the 1970s, young women have become increasingly less happy compared to their counterparts of past generations. Though the study avoids addressing the problem of feminism directly, it does suggest that modern constructs may play a major role in creating anxiety for women.
Authorities said Thursday they caught a teenager who identifies as transgender allegedly discussing plans for a school shooting on the same social media platform used by extremists in similar cases.
Police arrested 18-year-old Trinity Shockley and charged her with plotting to attack Mooresville High School in Indiana after a tip from the FBI, court records show. A police report details how others allegedly encouraged her plans on the online chat service Discord in a familiar tale of online radicalization.
Shockley’s arrest comes after a fatal shooting at Antioch High School in Tennessee in January, weeks apart from another at Wisconsin’s Abundant Life Christian School in December. Both were carried out by teenagers who expressed violent thoughts in Discord communities ahead of their attacks, including neo-Nazi sentiments. The shooters each took their own lives just after killing and injuring several others at the schools.

Fortunately, they stopped this one before it happened, but this group has a lot of problems and they blame it on their gender issues. Cutting off a dick or your tits isn’t going to fix your life.
Evidence continues to grow that onshore wind turbines are causing heavy ecological carnage, with increasing concern focused on the removal of a vast tonnage of insect life. For obvious political, Net Zero reasons, insect decimation is not a well-funded research area, but work in Germany in 2016 put the loss across the country at 1,200 tonnes a year. Recently, the Heartland Institute extrapolated the individual annual insect loss worldwide at 13,640,000,000,000 (13.64 quadrillion) insects, and of course it can be noted that the figures are nearly a decade out of date. Other scientific work has reported that flying insects destroyed include bees, flying beetles and butterflies. Curiously, the many institutions apparently concerned with wildlife stay silent on the slaughter. For its part, the UK Natural History Museum (NHM) offers a Build Your Own Wind Turbine kit. Fun for all the family and if the kiddies are lucky they might get to whack a passing fly or a couple of moths.
The German work estimated insect losses at 40 million per turbine during the plant-growing season. Commenting on the findings, the mathematician and evolutionary ecologist Professor Christian Voigt felt it was necessary to evaluate if these fatalities added to the decline of insect populations, “and potentially the extinction of species”. In a 2022 paper, Voigt reported that turbines can change the nearby microclimate, while vibrational noise may reduce earthworm abundance with likely cascading effects on soil quality and vegetation. In addition, he noted findings that wind turbine facilities led to displacement of nesting and wintering birds.
Recent work from researchers at the University of Wyoming suggests that moths, butterflies, beetles, flies and true bugs may be the most vulnerable to the giant revolving blades. Wind turbines create vortices, sucking in wildlife and causing problems for both bats and large birds such as eagles. “The vast amount of avian and insect deaths at the hands of wind turbines is disastrous in and of itself, from a conservation and ecological standpoint,” states Heartland.
Insect loss and extinctions are of course very popular in the Net Zero fear-mongering business. In 2022, the NHM ran with an improbable tale that flying insects in the UK had declined by 60% in just 20 years. Too good of course for national treasure Sir David Attenborough to pass up and he repeated the scare during his BBC Wild Isles series, a green agitprop co-production with the World Wildlife Fund and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. The evidence proved to be anecdotal and mostly arose from ‘citizen scientists’ counting bugs on car number plates. Missing from the research was a note that vehicle registrations have tripled in the UK since 1970, while cars have largely changed shape from angular boxes to aerodynamic wedges that sweep insects out of the way.
Despite these obvious flaws in the story, the NHM claimed the astonishing loss was caused by rising temperatures and fragmented habitats. The tiny temperature rises over the last 20 years are hardly likely to affect insects that much, while slightly longer growing seasons in the northern hemisphere and a recent 14% ‘greening’ of the Earth due to higher levels of carbon dioxide are almost certain to have been extremely beneficial.
There are 8 in this article, but there are many more out there. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine stopped Covid-19. We had Viet Nam won at the Tet Offensive except Walter Cronkite lied. Men can’t become women either. The Covid vaccine was safe and effective and preventing transmission or getting Covid-19. Obamacare, say no more there. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. One of the biggest is in the title, the mainstream media lies, all the time.
Here goes:
The mainstream media is in the habit of labeling something a “conspiracy theory” whenever they are attempting to discredit a particular point of view. Of course, such “conspiracy theories” have been proven to actually be true time after time. Meanwhile, the mainstream media has been caught in lie after lie in recent years. As a result, trust in the media is the lowest that it has ever been in the entire history of our country. At this point, most people realize that our largest media outlets are going to push the agenda of the globalists that own them, and they are going to be extremely hesitant to expose the big pharmaceutical companies and other giant corporations that spend billions of dollars to advertise on their networks.
The good news is that we have entered a period of time when the truth is coming out about so many things. The American people are now demanding transparency and accountability from major institutions throughout our society, and that is a wonderful thing. It is especially gratifying to see the mainstream media publicly admit mistakes that they have made. The following are 8 “conspiracy theories” that the mainstream media has been forced to admit are actually true…
For years, we were told that the lab leak theory was just “disinformation”. Of course now it has come out that certain individuals in very prominent positions waged a relentless campaign to discredit it. They were desperate to keep a lid on what really happened, but now the truth has come out. In fact, at this point even the CIA is publicly admitting that it is more likely than not that the lab leak theory is accurate…
The CIA has shifted its stance about the origin of the virus that causes Covid-19, NBC News reported on Saturday. The intelligence agency now believes that the coronavirus escaped from a Chinese lab, a shift from its previous stance, in which it did not take a position.
“CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting,” a CIA spokesperson said in a statement to NBC News.
#2 MKUltra
For decades, anyone that went on the air and talked about MKUltra was considered to be a nut.
But now hundreds of government documents prove that this CIA mind control program really did exist…
Newly compiled records are spilling the beans on one of the CIA’s most notorious and shadowy programs: MKUltra, a wild attempt to develop mind control techniques through drugs, hypnosis, and psychological manipulation.
The collection was published by the Digital National Security Archive of The George Washington University in December 2024, detailing more than 1,200 documents on the CIA’s foray into behavioral and mind control experiments from 1953 until the 1970s.
Much of the information comes from records gathered by John Marks, a former State Department official who initiated the first Freedom of Information Act requests on the topic and authored the 1979 book The Search for the Manchurian Candidate.
We are actually very fortunate that these documents still exist, because in 1973 the director of the CIA specifically ordered that all records related to MKUltra must be destroyed…
In 1973, the director of the CIA, Richard Helms, ordered that all documents related to MKUltra be destroyed. However, a cache documents was discovered following a freedom of information request in 1977, which led to Senate hearings. MKUltra was declassified in 2001.
#3 Fluoride In Our Drinking Water Is Bad
For ages, authorities insisted that putting fluoride in our drinking water was good for us. But now a federal judge has ruled that there is evidence that fluoride in the water could harm the intellectual development of our children. The following comes from CNN…
A federal judge has ordered the US Environmental Protection Agency to further regulate fluoride in drinking water because high levels could pose a risk to the intellectual development of children.
US District Judge Edward Chen cautioned that it’s not certain that the amount of fluoride typically added to water is causing lower IQ in kids, but he concluded that mounting research points to an unreasonable risk that it could be. He ordered the EPA to take steps to lower that risk, but didn’t say what those measures should be.
#4 There Are Cancer Causing Chemicals In Our Drinking Water
Over the past several years, the mainstream media has actually begun reporting on all of the nasty things that are showing up in the water that is coming out of our taps.
In fact, a study that was conducted in 2019 actually found 22 separate carcinogens in our drinking water…
Increased cancer risks were linked to 22 carcinogens found in the drinking water.
Contaminants included arsenic; radioactive materials, such as uranium and radium; and disinfectant byproducts, which are substances produced when chlorine and other additives are used in the treatment process.
Systems that rely on groundwater sources, such as aquifers, have higher concentrations of arsenic and radioactive materials and contribute to a higher risk of cancer.
Systems that rely on surface water sources, such as reservoirs, have a lower risk, but serve larger populations.
Water systems where droughts are more common may pose a higher risk, in part because drier conditions create an environment where contaminants become concentrated as water levels are reduced.
#5 The “Dumbing Down” Of America
For a lot of years, many of us in the alternative media have been talking about the “dumbing down” of America, but the mainstream media has continued to defend our system of education.
Unfortunately, it has become exceedingly clear that our kids are not alright. The following comes from the Wall Street Journal…
The reading skills of American students are deteriorating further, according to new national test scores that show no improvement in a yearslong slide.
The 67% of eighth-graders who scored at a basic or better reading level in 2024 was the lowest share since testing began in 1992, results from a closely watched federal exam show. Only 60% of fourth-graders hit that benchmark, nearing record lows.
The declines started before the pandemic, continued during it, and have persisted since.
#6 Prescription Drugs Kill Large Numbers Of Americans Every Single Year
For decades, alternative health practitioners and “conspiracy theorists” have been asserting that negative reactions to prescription drugs are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Thankfully, the mainstream media has been forced to admit this as well. The following comes from a Vanity Fair article entitled “Deadly Medicine“…
Prescription drugs kill some 200,000 Americans every year. Will that number go up, now that most clinical trials are conducted overseas—on sick Russians, homeless Poles, and slum-dwelling Chinese—in places where regulation is virtually nonexistent, the F.D.A. doesn’t reach, and “mistakes” can end up in pauper’s graves?
#7 Aspartame Is Not Good For Our Health
Many of us have been warning about aspartame for ages, but the mainstream media just kept defending it. Well, after reviewing the evidence the International Agency for Research on Cancer was forced to classify aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”…
Assessments of the health impacts of the non-sugar sweetener aspartame are released today by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Citing “limited evidence” for carcinogenicity in humans, IARC classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2B) and JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.
#8 Operation Paperclip
Did you know that hundreds of Nazi scientists were smuggled out of Germany and brought to the United States in the aftermath of World War II?
And did you know that many of those scientists were used “to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons”?…
As World War II was entering its final stages, American and British organizations teamed up to scour occupied Germany for as much military, scientific and technological development research as they could uncover.
Trailing behind Allied combat troops, groups such as the Combined Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (CIOS) began confiscating war-related documents and materials and interrogating scientists as German research facilities were seized by Allied forces. One enlightening discovery—recovered from a toilet at Bonn University—was the Osenberg List: a catalogue of scientists and engineers that had been put to work for the Third Reich.
In a covert affair originally dubbed Operation Overcast but later renamed Operation Paperclip, roughly 1,600 of these German scientists (along with their families) were brought to the United States to work on America’s behalf during the Cold War. The program was run by the newly-formed Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), whose goal was to harness German intellectual resources to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons, and to ensure such coveted information did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.
I could list many other examples, but I think that you probably get my point by now.
Just because something is labeled a “conspiracy theory” does not mean that you can automatically dismiss it.
In fact, many of those that love to accuse others of spreading “disinformation” are some of the biggest liars of all.
Clay Travis says it like it is. Men want to be bigger, faster, and stronger. That’s why super heroes are popular. It’s why we don’t believe women are really superheroes either.
Name a masculine Democrat now? It’s a short video. Listen to him sum it up in a few short articulate words
It’s why people didn’t get Trump. He proved it when he took aa bullet and stood up and said fight. He was an alpha male when he came down the escalator in 2015. The pussies in the liberal party had a theme of toxic masculinity which was selling with the liberal women.
Deep down, even liberal women want a masculine man. That part about grabbing them by the pussy? Women let alpha men do that and don’t let the others do that. They have control and won’t let anyone they don’t want to get near their coochie.
In other words, if he grabbed them, they let it happen because they want to be around masculine men, but really it’s they want to be around rich and powerful men.
It just hurt the narrative for anyone to admit it, like the pussies in my family. I saw the alpha male in Trump and loved it from the start.
But to sum it up, name a masculine democrat leader right now. They are a bunch of pussies.
We grew up beating their asses for that. The smart ones learned to protect themselves and grew up to be men and leaders. The pussies became democrats.
The Soviets said that they didn’t have to defeat the US. All they needed was a few years of indoctrination of the kids in school and the next generation was theirs. Look at Obama and the other Marxists, he was right.
They’ve been teaching this DEI crap at schools and the little mush heads are believing it. The bigger mush heads that go to the Ivy League and other colleges fall for it even harder
DOGE slashes over $100M in DEI funding at Education Department: ‘Win for every student’
The Department of Education (DOE) is canceling more than $100 million in grants to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) sweep of “wasteful” spending.
DOGE, the department led by Elon Musk to cut costs within the federal government, announced the termination of 89 DOE contracts totaling $881 million in a post on X Monday night.
Of the nearly $1 billion, DOGE identified $101 million that was being used for DEI training, including teaching educators to “help students understand/interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis.”
“Your tax dollars were spent on this,” Musk wrote of the DOE spending.
According to DOGE, the education department spent another $1.5 million on a contractor to “observe mailing and clerical operations” at a mail center, which was also terminated in the recent spending sweep.
“DEI was never about ‘equity’—it was about enforcing ideological conformity and institutionalizing discrimination. Shutting down these wasteful, divisive programs is a win for every student,” Nicki Neily, founder and president of Parents Defending Education, said in response to the spending cut.
“More states need to follow suit,” Neily said.
Erika Donalds, wife of Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, also wrote in response that “the kids can’t read.”
Of all the things I loathe about the Democrat party, its celebration of victimhood takes the cake. As is true of all political parties infected with virulent Marxism, it does not seek to help those truly in need. It does the opposite. It seeks out people who might never have seen themselves as victims and convinces them otherwise. It is a party whose growth in membership is directly proportional to Democrats’ capacity to convert Americans into victims.
Once a person understands Democrats’ pathological need to harvest new victims, it becomes obvious that they are not in the business of solving problems. Fixing anything in society only reduces the number of future Democrats. By celebrating victimhood, Democrats are committed to making things worse today than they were yesterday and even worse tomorrow than they are today. Their growth model depends upon perpetual misery.
Americans saw this self-destructive phenomenon play out during Obama’s presidency. Before the 2008 election, race relations between black and white Americans had steadily improved since the ’60s. Racism was widely rejected as a repugnant practice of the past. In fact, discrimination based upon the color of a person’s skin had become so offensive that courts were dismantling affirmative action programs that explicitly prioritized race over merit. A lot of Republican voters, unhappy with their party’s nomination of Senator John McCain, crossed lines and voted for Barack Obama’s nebulous promise of “hope and change” with the expectation that a post-racial America would take root.
President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder chose another path. They looked for ways to inflame racial tensions. They deconstructed a half-century of American racial progress by routinely injecting racial controversy into matters that had nothing to do with skin color. A black Harvard professor is detained in the Democrat stronghold of Cambridge, Massachusetts? That’s because all cops are unconsciously racist (even the black ones). A black male dies in a confrontation with a neighborhood watchman? That’s because black boys are hunted outside their own communities. Americans don’t want to pay more for worse health care? That’s because wealthy white Americans are too selfish to understand the appeal of socialized medicine.
Whenever policymakers fought Obama administration policy, charges of racism were not so subtly leveled against them. Instead of finally terminating affirmative action programs and other race-based discrimination, Obama and Holder reinvigorated an otherwise dying system of racial preferences and rebranded discrimination as a “virtue” under the umbrella of the Marxist tripe we know now as “diversity, inclusion, and equity.” When Obama was elected, race relations inside the United States had never been better. After eight years of an Obama-Holder strategy to make every policy dispute a racial dispute, race relations had severely deteriorated. There is perhaps no better example of how backward Democrats’ notion of “progress” truly is.
Setting aside the tangible social harm that Obama and Holder inflicted upon Americans, it is not difficult to understand why they chose division over unity. Had President Obama framed his election victory as vivid proof that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream was reality — proof, in other words, that the content of an American’s character matters much more than the color of that American’s skin — a generational struggle against racial prejudice would have been largely resolved.
Had Obama declared victory over racism, he would have become a transformational figure in American history. But Democrats are not in the business of solving problems. Solving problems diminishes the supply of potential victims. And Democrats’ political success depends upon an ever-growing class of self-identifying victims.
When seen from this perspective, it is easy to understand how cancerous the Democrats’ governing philosophy is. Unity — or the cultivation of a common national identity and purpose — is antithetical to Democrats’ Marxist directive to rally the “oppressed” against their “oppressors.” By design, Democrats cultivate grievance and conflict. They isolate subsets of American society, convince those subsets that they are victims, and cynically exploit Americans’ shared desire to seek justice for the oppressed. For Democrats, whether some isolated group has actually been treated unfairly or unjustly is irrelevant. They stir social passions by maximizing perceived insults felt from real or imagined grievances. Then they feed on those passions to create explosive political movements capable of transforming imaginary victimhood into real political power.
Since the nineteenth century, Marxism has tried to cultivate grievance among a majority of blue-collar workers, but America’s working class has stubbornly resisted. However bad working conditions might have been in the United States since its inception, the country long maintained the highest rate of intergenerational social mobility in the world. The children of indentured servants became farmers. The children of farmers became skilled tradesmen. The children of skilled tradesmen became entrepreneurs. The children of entrepreneurs became lawyers, bankers, and even politicians.
In other words, for most of America’s history, the United States has been a “land of opportunity” unburdened by traditional strictures of social caste. Marxists found it difficult to create a class revolution when American workers were too busy making money and buying land. Coincidentally or not, intergenerational social mobility in the United States declined only after the rise of the Federal Reserve central banking system, the implementation of broadly enforced income taxes, growing encumbrances upon private property, and the rapid expansion of the twentieth-century regulatory state.
And Eric Holder, who was able to insert some racial bias into every situation. Textbooks should be written about how he and Obama set back race relations by decades. They did the same with gender and fagotry.
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.
As you enjoy the Super Bowl on Sunday, pay special attention to one of the 30-second ads that will be airing during the time-outs.
The ad, which features Shane Gillis, Post Malone, and NFL great Peyton Manning having fun at a wild barbecue, fueled by bright-blue cans of Bud Light beer, is no ordinary TV commercial. With its almost cartoonish celebration of masculine excess, the spot communicates two conventional beer-commercial messages: Bud Light is fun, and Bud Light is for guys. What makes it notable, though, is a third point, one it communicates only by implication: Bud Light is really, really sorry.
Bud Light is still trying to make up with the customer base it alienated on April 1, 2023. On that day, a brand that had been the top-selling beer in America for over two decades launched a social media campaign that would rock its customers, and not in a good way. Starring a transgender activist, Dylan Mulvaney, it celebrated Mulvaney’s first year of “girlhood.” Bud Light even sent Mulvaney a personalized can to mark this milestone date in Mulvaney’s transition from biological male to transgender woman, which millions had already followed on Instagram and TikTok.
This was not an April Fools’ Day prank as some believed, but a serious effort by the world’s largest beer company, Anheuser-Busch InBev, to “rebrand” its product.
They fucked up and may never recover, all to be woke. We know how much that sucks now and how much everyone is turning against both woke and DEI. Kill it dead
The Biden-Harris era was marked by failed Bidenomics and a steep decline in financial well-being for the majority of American families. The figures speak for themselves. Inflation rates hit highs of 8% in 2022. The national debt saw an increase from $27.8 trillion in January 2021 to $33 trillion in January 2025.
The way the Democrats spend money is reckless and has a direct impact on the economy. There are five controversial initiatives of the Biden-Harris administration that resulted in dramatic failures and cost American taxpayers a fortune.
The CHIPS Act
The CHIPS Act was designed to provide the domestic semiconductor industry with $79 billion in subsidies and loans. However, the initiative failed to deliver. Once a dominant player in consumer and professional CPUs, Intel is now caught in a very unfavorable situation.
The bill was marred by woke climate and environmental requirements that hindered the development of the industry in the U.S. Moreover, necessary actions against leading semiconductor manufacturers, such as Taiwan, were not taken in a timely manner.
The idea behind the CHIPS Act is sound, and we must work on securing our leadership in computer and AI technologies. The new administration is fully aware of this and will take a different approach by imposing various tariffs.
Affordable Connectivity Program
The Broadband Connectivity Act, with its Affordable Connectivity Program, is a $42 billion initiative aimed at improving broadband internet access for households across the country. Initially, the bill had bipartisan support and held great promise for making a better living for many Americans.
Alas, the reality turned out to be completely different. Democrats pushed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements and failed to establish fast and convenient verification processes for applicants. This predetermined that the initiative would be inefficient. As of January 2025, many communities are reported to face hurdles due to inadequate connectivity.
Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act, an incredible $1.2 Trillion dollar initiative that pundits dubbed a “last-minute spending spree.” Given the current economic climate marked by high inflation rates, such a surge in spending taxpayer money is not just a controversial move, but a dire threat to the Trump’s administration’s efforts to address issue.
Student Loan Forgiveness
Graphic: X Screenshot
Announced in August 2022, the initiative is aimed to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loans for eligible borrowers. The program, part of Biden’s campaign promises and often ruled unconstitutional by federal courts and the Supreme Court, was eventually said to disproportionally benefit higher-income individuals who attended college. It cost taxpayers around $316 billion.
Failed Military Foreign Policy
The withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 marked a pivotal moment in American foreign policy. Some pundits argue the move portrayed the United States under Joe Biden as a weak and militarily incapable nation. In other words, a loser whose opinions and interests might be easily ignored by China or Russia.
The U.S. left behind approximately $7 billion worth of military equipment. It included about 80 helicopters, 600 armored vehicles, and other assets like some 350,000 weapons. The American military presence in Afghanistan provided a vital influence tool in the region as well as served as a remote frontier to combat serious threats like ISIS terrorists far from our borders.
Moreover, almost 20 years of military operations in Afghanistan cost U.S. taxpayers an incredible $2.3 trillion. All the efforts, all the lives of American soldiers given to establish a robust defense against terrorist threat were wasted by the Biden administration.
Joe Biden’s reaction to the war in Ukraine, which broke out in early 2022, has been a heavy burden on the U.S. budget with more than $200 billion worth of military and direct financial aid. The Biden administration clearly underperformed as the White House neither proposed a sustainable victory plan to defeat Putin nor negotiated for peace.
Despite numerous statements from prominent Democrats that Russia must be stopped, the flow of donations in money and materials seemed to have no ultimate purpose and the support was given only because of the argument that something had to be done. Furthermore, Democrats ordered federal and state agencies to make donations, like firefighting equipment provided by California’s First Responders and others.
The apple doesn’t fall too far from the grifting tree. The daughter of 2 of the biggest political criminals in our history is part of the heist of money that was meant for people who really needed it.
The thing that gets me is she’s dumb as mud and her parents are smart. Maybe Bill isn’t her real dad or something.
“USAID gave Chelsea Clinton tens of millions of dollars and partnered with their sex trafficking organization The Clinton Foundation,” wrote author and journalist Liz Crokin on X.
“In 2010, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped oversee $4.4 billion that Congress had earmarked for ‘recovery’ efforts in Haiti by the USAID in 2010.”
“So USAID was funding organizations sex trafficking kids and lining the pockets of their family members all while the USAID also funded media organizations to cover up that they were sex trafficking kids AKA Pizzagate and all with YOUR hard earned taxpayer money!”
Crokin continued: “The level of corruption and criminality – including crimes that are deemed capital offenses with death penalty as a potential punishment – are astounding and unprecedented.
Do you think any of the 3 of them care about kids being trafficked or poverty in Haiti? Nah, me either.
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).
The COVID-19 pandemic was marked by heavy-handed government mandates, fear-mongering propaganda, and the promotion of “safe and effective” vaccines, while open borders allowed millions of untested illegal immigrants to enter the country.
Despite the government’s strict measures to control the spread of COVID-19, such as lockdowns, social distancing, and mandatory vaccinations, there was no infectious disease testing at the southern U.S. border for four years.
The contradiction between the government’s strict pandemic measures and the lack of border control raises questions about the true motivations behind these policies, such as vaccine promotion, control over the population, and manipulation of elections.
The author suggests that the pandemic may have been a “scamdemic” aimed at promoting vaccinations, controlling personal freedoms, and influencing elections, ultimately leading to a loss of trust in government institutions.
It’s hard to see straight during a wicked storm, and nary a human knew all the damage that was coming from the Covid tsunami. It was difficult to make judgment calls while the Pharma Industrial Complex was shoveling heaps of propaganda and fear-mongering mandates down everyone’s throats. The Biden Regime and the talking heads at the CDC made sure we all knew that if we came within 6 feet of another human who was infected, we would surely catch the Wuhan flu and die. Wear your mask, social distance, and every store and restaurant that is not “essential” is ordered by the Orwellian government to shut down, until “further notice.” We must flatten the curve, or else.
Then came the deadly, vascular clotting, gene mutating, cell tricking, super “safe and effective” nanoparticle clot shots, double-masking advice, and lockdowns across the country, enforced at gunpoint in some places. But wait, one thing everyone seemed to forget about during all the mayhem. Open borders. Apparently, illegal immigrants are automatically immune to all gain-of-function viruses created in laboratories and cannot catch them, spread them, or even just be carriers of them. How convenient for the drug-running, human trafficking, vote stealing Biden Regime and the Fauci Flu cult.
Remember when the leftist media screamed that the news about FBI agents being taken off pedophile cases in order to pursue J6ers was a conspiracy theory? Turns out it was true. 5,000 FBI agents were tasked with pursuing the folks that simply walked into the Capitol building that day instead of handling serious cases of pedophilia.
After thousands of ordinary people were arrested and charged with misdemeanors, put in prison in horrific conditions, with at least one of them committing suicide, it turns out the FBI really was sic’d on them by the Biden administration. The toll on children was horrific, as some of them even committed suicide.
Carl’s Jr. Super Bowl ad brings back bikini-clad burger models after yearslong clampdown
Make America Hot Again.
Carl’s Jr., which ditched its sexualized commercials eight years ago, is bringing back its bikini-and-burgers formula for the Super Bowl.
TikTok influencer Alix Earle stars in a new commercial from Carl’s Jr. promoting its new “hangover burger” for football fans needing a pick-me-up after game day.
“Just what you need to cure that post party bug,” Earle says, dressed in a skimpy outfit as she parades through a car wash and takes a bite of the super-loaded breakfast burger.
Mountain Dew Flushes Millions Down Toilet In Freakish Super Bowl Ad
Mountain Dew dished out millions of dollars for a bizarre Super Bowl ad that included the face of Seal the artist actually on a seal’s body.
The ad dropped Feb. 5 and, sadly for Mountain Dew, it’s too late to take it back. The mistake has already been made and their money has already been wasted. The freakish video clip featured Seal singing a new rendition of his hit song “Kiss from a Rose” and, thanks to AI, his face was actually plastered onto the body of a seal.
The odd plot started with Mountain Dew’s Mountain Dude offering Becky G a drink from a bottle of Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Becky took a sip and entered some sort of weird portal before landing in a boat with Mountain Dude. The camera flicked to Seal — atop the body of a seal — singing his song while perched awkwardly on a rock. Set your standards a tad lower if you plan on watching this ad.
Family members of those harmed by vaccines told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry they were forced to form their own support systems after being ignored by the authorities and made to feel like “an uncomfortable truth” of the rollout.
Kate Scott, speaking on behalf of the group Vaccine Injured and Bereaved UK (VIBUK), said they felt they were “almost being pushed into the shadows” as the overwhelming official message continued to be that the jabs were ”safe and effective” in spite of their experience.
Last week’s hearing also heard from a victims’ group in Scotland which raised concerns that the vaccine had been rolled out at such speed that public safety had been sacrifice
Module 4 of the long-running inquiry, chaired by Baroness Heather Hallett, is examining issues relating to the development of COVID-19 vaccines and other drugs.
Scott, whose husband Jamie was left severely disabled by the vaccine, said:
“We are an uncomfortable truth, but we are a truth, and the truth is for everyone in our group, the vaccine caused serious harm and death.”
Jamie Scott spent over a month in a coma after suffering the life-threatening side effect known as vaccine-induced immune thrombosis and thrombocytopenia after taking the now withdrawn AstraZeneca jab.
He survived but with a serious brain injury which has left him unable to work, partially blind, and unable to live independently, while his wife also had to give up her job to help care for him.
‘Too Little, Too Late’
He received the maximum payout of £120,000 from the government’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) which is given to those who are assessed as being left 60 percent disabled as a result of a vaccine.
The inquiry will consider whether the VDPS should be reformed after some vaccine-injured people were left without the payment because they were assessed as not being severely disabled enough, even when left with life-changing health problems.
Kate Scott said, “The scheme is inadequate, insufficient, and offers too little too late and to too few.”
She told the hearing that victims of vaccine damage were made to feel that were “the only ones, or the unlucky ones, and just get on with it, and that’s impossible when you’re grieving a loved one, or your husband is in intensive care.”
A Freedom of Information request made by VIBUK showed that, as of November 2024, victims or their family members have made 17,519 claims to the scheme.
Imagine, if you will, a political party so wildly detached from reality that they’re trying to convince Americans to rally around a bloated, corrupt government bureaucracy—as if it’s some sacred, treasured gift from the heavens.
Sounds ridiculous, right? Well, welcome to the modern-day Democrat Party. Their latest absurdity? Melting down over the takedown of USAID—a glorified CIA slush fund that, until five minutes ago, most Americans had never even heard of. Now, suddenly, this shady, regime-change ATM masquerading as a “humanitarian” organization is being paraded around like it’s the beating heart of American democracy.
Liz Warren and Maxine Waters—never ones to let reality stand in their way—actually stood in front of cameras and claimed Elon Musk was “seizing power” that belongs to the American people. Oh really, Liz? Don’t you mean power that belongs to the CIA?
Are we living in the Twilight Zone, or what?
After all, this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill gaslighting. This is the Dems jumping the shark, hitting the warp speed button, and crash-landing straight into lunacy land.
Actually, this narrative is so unhinged, even CNN can’t push it with a straight face. That’s right—CNN. When even they can’t find a way to prop up the latest Dem plot, you know it’s gotta be bad.
For once, the network accidentally stumbled onto the right side of an issue, calling this absurd war against Elon, Doge, and—of all things—USAID, a piñata in search of a stick In other words, Dems got nothing. And it’s embarrassing.
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.
A group of seven who allegedly sought to steal hundreds of millions of dollars in the country’s “largest COVID-19 tax credit scheme” by falsely claiming pandemic-era benefits were charged on Jan. 22, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
An indictment unsealed in New York state charged the seven people with “operating a multi-state conspiracy in which they attempted to defraud the United States of more than $600 million by filing more than 8,000 false tax returns claiming COVID-19-related employment tax credits,” the agency said in a statement. The fraud targeted programs like the employee retention credit (ERC) and the paid sick and family leave credit (SFLC), which were passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ERC gave tax credits to businesses, incentivizing them to keep employees on their payroll, while SFLC was a reimbursement made to businesses to support employees who were “on sick or family leave and could not work because of COVID-19.”
The charges were made against Keith Williams, Jamari Lewis, Morais Dicks, Janine Davis, Tiffany Williams, James Hames Jr., and Ewendra Mathurin; all of whom are either current or former residents of New York.
Between November 2021 and June 2023, the defendants “repeatedly exploited” ERC and SFLC programs, the DOJ said.
“The scheme was allegedly headquartered at Credit Reset, a purported credit repair business Keith Williams owned and operated.”
Just goes to show you that the democrats can’t run a one car funeral without screwing it up. Everything about Covid was a lie except that it was man made and escaped from Wuhan
she’s full of shit. America got lucky to vote in Trump to fix this mess she caused. 60 minutes made her look a lot better than the words at the link above. How does someone this unqualified get that close to being CinC? How many blowjobs did she give to get where she got?
MR. BILL WHITAKER: But Madam Vice1 President, I’ve been covering the border for 2 years, and so I know this is not a problem that 3 started with your administration.4 VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: Correct.5 Correct. 6 MR. BILL WHITAKER: But there was an 7 historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming 8 across the border the first three years of your 9 administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals 10 quadrupled from the last year of President Trump.11 Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration12 policies as much as you did in 2021?13 VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: So14 regionally, and actually, globally, we have seen15 this as an issue, and America is obviously not16 immune from this issue. But the focus has to be,17 to your point, you’ve been covering it for years,18 it’s a long-standing problem, and solutions are19 at hand. And from day one, literally, we have20 been offering solutions which have not been21 picked up, and then, when there was a border22 security bill, my opponent decided to run on the23 problem instead of fixing the problem.24 And understand what that bill would25 29 have done. That border security bill would have 1 put 1,500 more agents at the border, which is why 2 the Border Patrol Union supported it. It would3 have put more resources into stemming the flow of4 fentanyl. Which is a scourge.5 MR. BILL WHITAKER: But that was just 6 this past year. That was just this past year.7 What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind 8 of allow that flood to happen in the first place?
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.
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.”
In June 2018, then-Fox News host Carlson covered the topic, saying, “The Obama administration pressured the FAA to meet abstract diversity goals. Now nobody bothered to explain why diversity is a relevant criterion for air traffic controllers. No one will explain it now.”
Carlson explained that the FAA added a biographical questionnaire to the air traffic controller application process, which he said gave more points to would-be controllers who lacked a scientific background or who had been unemployed for the previous three years than they did to licensed pilots.
“In other words, the FAA actively searched for unqualified air traffic controllers. That is insane, and they knew it was insane when they did it, but they did it anyway,” he said.
In an email Carlson said he obtained, the executive who created the biographical questionnaire “admits that the test he devised has nothing to do with finding the best air traffic controllers. If you want good air traffic controllers, find people with experience. That was his advice. The FAA ignored this, and used the biographical screen anyway. … Compared to diversity, your safety meant nothing to them.”
This might be the last best of for a while so enjoy. The regular new stuff will be here going forward, but don’t be surprised if you see a part 10 some time.
Last year, I reported on a tip from a United pilot that a near-fatal incident in Houston was the result of a fired employee being rehired through their DEI program
I was told I was a lying racist.
The Houston 767 incident report is out. I was 100% right:
“The first officer’s training records showed inconsistencies in airplane handling as recent as a few months before the accident. He received an unsatisfactory performance rating and, upon re-evaluation, a satisfactory rating with a condition to recheck after 90 days (instead of 9 months). This was due to, among other things, marginal performance with landings.”
it’s not just in the ATC towers, it permeates the air travel industry. I want meritocracy to get on a plane. Give me the best and most qualified. Fuck their color or anything else. Be qualified
As The Daily Signal previously reported, under President Barack Obama’s administration, the FAA scrapped a skills-based test and a certification program, and replaced it with a biographical questionnaire to attract more diverse applicants to become air traffic controllers. The FAA previously drew most candidates from the military and a group of 36 colleges that offer air traffic control programs.
“The Obama administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence,” the Trump memorandum says. “But the Biden administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with ‘severe intellectual’ disabilities in the FAA.”
The memorandum continues: “On my second day in office, I ordered an immediate return to merit-based recruitment, hiring, and promotion, elevating safety and ability as the paramount standard. [Wednesday’s] devastating accident tragically underscores the need to elevate safety and competence as the priority of the FAA.”
Critics have said the policy that originated under Obama and was revived by former President Joe Biden gives more points to applicants who have not been employed for the past three years than to an applicant who has been a pilot or a veteran with an air traffic control-related military background. During his first term, Trump discarded the policy in 2018, but Biden reinstated it.
“When you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones—which everyone of us in this room has—do you pray that your plane lands safely and gets you to your destination?” Leavitt asked reporters rhetorically on Friday. “Or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer to that question. As President Trump said yesterday, it’s common sense.”
The spokeswoman said the Trump administration still believes it is safe to fly in the United States. Still, she said, the memorandum is intended to “deliver accountability.”

"We need a diverse group of air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspective to handle the ever-changing aerospace landscape. I'm calling on students and alumni from HBCUs, Hispanic serving institutions, and tribal… pic.twitter.com/aTtWRI93v0
