Disney Jacks Up Its Prices on Tickets and Extras — Fed Up Americans REACT – I grew up next to Disney. It ruined our town and our lives. It’s not that great and certainly not worth the money. It’s also not the happiest place on earth as they claim. It’s hot, (used to have) long lines, expensive and not worth it. Occasionally, there is a Waffle House type fight. That’s the best attraction left.
California Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell told CNN News Central co-host Kate Bolduan on Monday that House Democrats plan to scrutinize private citizens working with the Trump administration, following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
A federal grand jury indicted Comey on Thursday on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction related to a testimony he gave during a September 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Meanwhile, Swalwell has since expressed confidence that Democrats will regain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
“Well, first, we’re making it clear that we’re going into the majority a year from now,” Swalwell said. “We have every intention to do that, and so we will bring oversight, accountability, we will subpoena the Department of Justice, but also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration, college campuses, entertainment companies, law firms and so accountability is coming.”
“And so, one, it’s all coming out, two, I hope that deters people from doing more of these deals, these one-offs with the president,” he continued. “One other point, though, on Comey, Kate, this happened when Donald Trump was president. So if you’re trying to tell me this is not politically motivated, the statement that they’re referring to where he allegedly lied, Donald Trump was president, so why didn’t you indict him then? The fact that he’s indicting him now just makes it look even more politically motivated, and so I’m pretty confident that this will either be dismissed or Mr. Comey will be acquitted by a jury of his peers.”
Now we are allowing AI to create new viruses? Are we mad? What scientists at Stanford University are doing sounds like the plot to a really bad disaster movie. Viruses that are designed by AI are assembled by crazy researchers, and then those viruses start hunting down bacteria and reproducing. Needless to say, it doesn’t take much imagination to see where the rest of the movie would go. I realize that all of this sounds completely insane, but this is actually happening in real life. Our scientists really are assembling viruses that have been dreamed up by AI, and those viruses really are “capable of hunting down and killing strains of Escherichia coli”…
Scientists have created the first ever viruses designed by artificial intelligence (AI), and they’re capable of hunting down and killing strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli).
“This is the first time AI systems are able to write coherent genome-scale sequences,” says Brian Hie, a computational biologist at Stanford University, California. “The next step is AI-generated life,” says Hie, although his colleague Samuel King adds that “a lot of experimental advances need to occur in order to design an entire living organism”.
We are bringing viruses into existence that have never existed before.
I guess when AI gets smart enough to know that we can pull the plug, the robots will kill the humans. The story always ends that way. There is some stuff we should just leave alone
The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI’s rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to “wokeness” and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.
Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows.
The most persistent complaint was that the bureau during the James Comey and Chris Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protesters from the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 episode.
“The FBI should make clear to its personnel and the public that, despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously,” one employee wrote in a stinging review. “It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offenders’ perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations; and it should equally and aggressively protect all Americans regardless of perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations.”
That agent urged FBI leaders “to identify viable exit options for FBI personnel who no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias.”
I’m married to Dane. For decades, they bragged about all the free shit they get such as education, healthcare, and retirement. They have to pay 70% taxes to afford this for the country. I believed them at first, but the truth came out ,and they aren’t happy about paying so much for everything.
Every one of her (not mine) relatives who has had surgery has had it messed up. From ankles to stomachs, botched every time. They wait 6 weeks to see a doctor (a cold is gone in 1 to 2). Even their pension isn’t as much as Social Security, the pittance that it is.
They aren’t fooling me. I see how they live. They avoid the government because everything is so expensive. They buy all their stuff in the US instead. They are next to obnoxious to protect a tiny country which hasn’t been great since the Vikings.
They brag how everyone is equal (a big lie, her nephew Brian can’t stop talking about how much he has and paid for it). The other lie is they are the happiest. When you set your standards to zero, you can meet them everytime. They aren’t happy and will barely talk to a stranger there.
I said I wasn’t going there again and meant it
Have you ever wondered why Scandinavian countries are often hailed as the gold standard of social equality? It’s a compelling narrative: nations like Sweden, Denmark, and Norway seem to have cracked the code on blending prosperity with fairness. But what if the story we’ve been sold isn’t the full picture? As someone who’s always been skeptical of too-good-to-be-true promises, I decided to dig deeper into the so-called Scandinavian model. What I found was a system far more complex—and, frankly, more troubling—than the rosy image painted by its admirers.
The Scandinavian Model: A Closer Look
The term Scandinavian socialism gets thrown around a lot, often with a sense of awe. People point to high taxes, generous welfare programs, and impressive human development rankings as proof of a utopian system. But here’s the thing: what’s labeled as socialism in Scandinavia isn’t quite what you might think. It’s not about collective ownership of production or some grand egalitarian dream. Instead, it’s a carefully crafted system where the state plays a heavy-handed role in managing resources, wealth, and opportunity—often to the benefit of a select few.
At its core, this model is less about empowering the average citizen and more about maintaining state control. The state doesn’t own businesses outright, but it sets the rules, picks the winners, and ensures compliance through a web of regulations and taxes. It’s a system that looks free on the surface but operates with an iron grip beneath. Let’s break it down and see what’s really going on.
A History of Pragmatic Control
Back in the late 19th century, Scandinavian countries faced a unique challenge. They were resource-rich—think timber, iron, and fisheries—but lacked the robust middle class needed to fully exploit these assets. Unlike their European neighbors, who had thriving industrial bases, these Nordic nations couldn’t rely on state-run enterprises to drive growth. Their solution? Outsource production to a handpicked group of industrialists and corporations, both local and foreign, who were granted special privileges in exchange for loyalty and hefty tax contributions.
The state didn’t abolish private enterprise; it tamed it, turning businesses into extensions of its own agenda.– Economic historian
This wasn’t socialism in the classic sense. It was a hybrid—a mix of state favoritism and market dynamics. The government didn’t seize factories or mines; instead, it created a system where only those who played by its rules could thrive. This approach allowed Scandinavian nations to industrialize rapidly, but it came at a cost: a rigid hierarchy where the state and its chosen allies held all the power.
The Myth of Equality
One of the biggest selling points of the Scandinavian model is its promise of equality. High taxes fund universal healthcare, education, and pensions, creating the illusion of a classless society. But is it really as fair as it seems? In my view, the system’s equality is more about uniformity than true fairness. Citizens are funneled into a state-managed existence, where their role is to maintain the system, not to innovate or break free.
The average Scandinavian doesn’t own significant capital or run their own business. Instead, they’re often locked into roles as employees within a tightly regulated economy. Their reward? A safety net of welfare benefits that ensures stability but discourages independence. It’s a trade-off: security for autonomy. And while that might sound appealing to some, it’s worth asking—does it truly empower people, or does it keep them tethered to the state?
High taxes reduce disposable income, limiting personal investment opportunities.
Strict regulations stifle small businesses, favoring large, state-approved corporations.
Welfare programs create dependency, reducing incentives for entrepreneurship.
The Role of Oligarchic Power
Perhaps the most striking aspect of Scandinavian socialism is its reliance on a small, politically connected elite. These are the industrialists, corporate leaders, and bureaucrats who benefit from the state’s legal monopolies and administrative privileges. They’re not your typical capitalist entrepreneurs—they’re state-sanctioned players who thrive because of their proximity to power.
This dynamic creates a kind of corporate feudalism, where the state acts as a lord, granting favors to loyal vassals. In return, these elites generate revenue that funds the welfare state, keeping the system afloat. It’s a clever setup, but it’s not exactly the democratic paradise it’s made out to be. The average citizen has little access to this inner circle, and their economic mobility is often capped by design.
Cracks in the Facade
Fast forward to today, and the Scandinavian model is starting to show its age. The system was built on the back of abundant natural resources and a compliant workforce, but those foundations are crumbling. Aging populations, declining competitiveness, and shrinking resource revenues are putting pressure on the welfare state. The machine, as I see it, is grinding to a halt.
What happens when the money runs out? Historically, states in this position turn to desperate measures. In Scandinavia, that could mean wealth confiscation or outright nationalization of private assets. It’s not hard to imagine governments doubling down on their control, especially when the promise of welfare is at stake. After all, if the system’s built on dependency, what choice do they have?
Declining Resources: Natural resource revenues are no longer sufficient to fund expansive welfare programs.
Aging Population: Fewer workers are supporting a growing number of retirees, straining pension systems.
Global Competition: Scandinavian economies are losing their edge in innovation and productivity.
Is Happiness a Facade?
Scandinavian countries consistently rank high on global happiness indices, which often fuels the myth of their success. But is this happiness genuine, or is it a byproduct of a system that prioritizes compliance over ambition? In my experience, true contentment comes from freedom and opportunity, not just material security. When you’re locked into a system that limits your potential, can you really call that happiness?
The data paints a mixed picture. While citizens enjoy high standards of living, they also face some of the highest tax burdens in the world. Personal savings rates are low, and entrepreneurship is stifled by red tape. It’s a system that works—until it doesn’t. And when it fails, the fallout could be severe.
What’s Next for Scandinavia?
As the Scandinavian model faces growing challenges, the question is whether it can adapt. Some argue for reforms—lower taxes, deregulation, and a shift toward true market freedom. Others fear the state will tighten its grip, moving closer to outright nationalization. Either way, the myth of Scandinavian socialism as a perfect balance of equality and prosperity is fading fast.
For those of us watching from the outside, there’s a lesson here: systems that promise everything often deliver less than they claim. The Scandinavian model isn’t a blueprint for utopia; it’s a cautionary tale about the costs of control. Perhaps it’s time we rethink what equality and freedom really mean.
It was a turning point for our nation. Viet Nam, Kent State and a range of college activities took place. A lot of college took place in the jungles of Saigon. It could be the year that was the beginning of the end of America as that is when it was torn apart the worst since the Civil War.
The love part? It was mostly a bunch of hippies opposing war and boning each other. Those are your grandparents now. It usually involved a lot of drugs. Between the war and drugs, there were a lot of messed up people.
I lived through that time. I liked looking at naked girls at concerts as well as dreading being drafted. Fortunately for me, the war ended and they wouldn’t even take me as an enlistment.
Politics is a dirty business. It always has been. But today, politics is sometimes too often synonymous with violence.
While there were many catalysts that resulted in violence being seen as a “legitimate” form of political discourse, one stands out: Columbia University, 1968. That year, a combination of black and anti-war activists took over a building on the campus of New York’s premier university. They demanded that Columbia cancel a proposed nearby gymnasium that was claimed to be racist and end its relationship with a Department of Defense-affiliated think tank.
The NYPD eventually ejected the activists after a series of violent clashes. In a sane world, every one of those students would have been expelled, barred from campus, and sued for damages. But that’s not what happened.
Image created using AI.
No, the administration acquiesced to virtually every demand, and there were very few consequences. Suddenly, on TVs across America, activists were learning the lesson that violent takeovers can yield good results with minimal consequences, if any, even at one of the nation’s leading universities. The message having been received, it was suddenly gloves off for activists across the country. Yale, Howard, Brown, and others followed. The next year saw more of the same at Harvard and U Penn, too.
These students, these radicals, including terrorists, did not reflect most American people’s opinion. In that year’s election, the Democrat candidate, who was far more acceptable to the American people than the left’s activist wing, could still secure only 13 states and 42% of the popular vote. Four years later, Nixon would be reelected by a 49 to 1 Electoral College landslide. Not only that, but between 1968 and 1988, Democrats would win only one out of 6 elections and would lose 49 states twice.
In 1968 and many years after, the radicals in the Democrat party wouldn’t reflect majority opinion, but the die was cast. The lesson was learned: Violence wins. And so it grew.
The radical SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) launched violent protests against their closest mainstream ally, the Democrats, during the 1968 DNC convention in Chicago. The next year, terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn would launch the Weather Underground, which would bomb the US Capitol two years later. The pace accelerated: “During an eighteen-month period in 1971 and 1972, the FBI reported more than 2,500 bombings on U.S. soil, nearly 5 a day.” That violence wasn’t coming from conservatives.
Over time, those Baby Boomers, the spoiled spawn of the Greatest Generation, would basically turn against and undermine everything their parents fought for. They would go on to become teachers and professors and writers and journalists, taking the lessons and the perspectives from 1968 with them. Nothing exemplifies this more than the fact that Communist Howard Zinn’s treacherous A People’s History of the United States became the textbook of choice for tens of thousands of teachers across the country.
It would take a while, but by the early 1990s, the radicals from ’68 were firmly in control of almost every educational and cultural institution in America. From schools and universities to NGOs and newsrooms, the radicals were in a position to brainwash America’s youth with their leftist poison. And they did.
America began to see the full fruit of the radicals’ poison during the Bush years, when he was regularly called a Nazi and compared to Hitler. In 2008, the radicals finally came into their own with the election of their fellow traveler, Barack Obama. Indeed, Obama launched his political career in the home of terrorists Ayers and Dohrn.
Under Obama, the racial divide would grow, the gay lobby would begin its evolution into the trans nightmare we have today, and the violent rhetoric against anyone who opposed the left would intensify. Obama would use the government apparatus, which was now fully stocked by acolytes of those 1960s radicals, to target conservatives. Simultaneously, the justice apparatus across the country—by design, typically one of the least radical elements of the government structure—from District Attorneys to parole boards to judges and justices, embraced the leftist victimization mentality where virtually no transgression, including violence, should be punished, unless the perpetrator is from an unapproved group.
What’s more, the universities had become indoctrination centers producing millions of illiberal and sometimes violent graduates taking to the streets in support of every leftist cause. They were found in Antifa, in BLM, in trans groups, in pro-illegal immigrant groups, and antisemitic groups from both the Islamic and progressive perspectives.
All of this culminated during the era of Donald Trump. His first term was bookended by violence. In January 2017, Washington went up in flames upon his inauguration, and in the summer of 2020, cities and towns around the country were engulfed in flames and violence as the death of George Floyd sparked the left’s decades-long propaganda kindling of white supremacy and institutional racism. Then, during the Biden administration, violent antisemitic protests were allowed to blossom on campuses across the country.
Which brings us to today. Charlie Kirk’s assassination has sparked discussions about the absurd notion of murder being a legitimate form of political interaction. Where America once was a place where ideas were debated and using violence to achieve political ends was fringe at best, today we have something different.
In a recent survey questioning the legitimacy of assassinating Donald Trump for political reasons, fully 55% of left-leaning respondents suggested that it was “somewhat justified.” The same survey showed similar support for killing Elon Musk, burning down Tesla dealerships, and worshipping Luigi Mangione.
These are the people who proffer the age-old hypothetical “Would you go back in time and kill Hitler as a baby to save 20 million lives” before calling Trump or his supporters Nazis and nodding at you knowingly. They are the same people who claim that saying men can’t have babies is violence.
That is insane. That fully a quarter of the American population thinks that killing a political rival might be a legitimate tactic, actual violence, is unbelievable…but sadly believable at the same time.
Democrat Senator Cory Booker had yet another one of his trademark meltdowns on Capitol Hill, this time during testimony from FBI Director Kash Patel. When Patel tried to push back on Booker’s accusations, the New Jersey senator went off the rails.
The exchange quickly turned chaotic.
Grassley (Chair): Do you want to say anything? Yes, sir.
Patel (FBI): That rant of false information does not bring this country together. If you want to work on bringing this country together—it’s my time, not yours.
Booker: My God… my God. If you want to talk about fighting for this country, look at your own social media posts. This is my time. Sir, this is committee time, not yours. You don’t tell me when my time is over. You can’t lecture me.
Booker then devolved into shouting “Point of order!” before accusing Patel of being “rude and disrespectful” to senators.
Booker: Mr. Chairman, I’ve watched him talk over us, and you’ve never once criticized him for it. We couldn’t even get our questions out. He has been rude and disrespectful to Senator after Senator. And when Senators weren’t giving him a chance to answer, I didn’t see you stop them either.
Grassley reminded everyone that Patel would be given time to respond uninterrupted. And when he did, Patel unleashed a blistering defense of his record:
Patel (FBI): Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the FBI under my seven-month leadership were failing this administration and this country, then why do we have 23,000 violent felons arrested this year alone—double the number from the same period last year? Why have we seized 6,000 weapons? Why have we arrested 1,500 child predators, 300 human traffickers, and identified 4,700 children? Why have we seized 1,600 kilograms of fentanyl—enough to kill a third of the American public, a 25% increase from last year? Alongside that, we’ve seized 88,000 kilograms of cocaine and 7,100 kilograms of meth… Our counterintelligence arrests already exceed the total from last year: up 33% for China, 83% for Russia, and 60% in Iran-related cases.
In other words, Patel came armed with facts, while Booker offered theatrics.
Corrupt Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is pushing new election rules that were not approved by the state legislature, but rather by her, to make it easier for Democrats to cheat in the upcoming elections.

It’s gonna be hard to avoid Philliies Karen, who stole a little kid’s home run ball that was in his glove. It was a serious asshole move.
Phillies fans have a nasty reputation, deserved or not, and in Miami Friday night the best and, well, less than best was on display.
The moment has gone mega-viral, spawning an online hunt for the woman at the center of the drama and at least two misidentifications of the culprit who has become known as the “Phillies Karen.”
What happened at the Phillies-Marlins game?
In the fourth inning, Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader planted a home run into the left field seats and a mild looking skirmish for the ball ensued, mostly among fans wearing Phillies garb. A man in a Phillies shirt emerged with the souvenir and brought it back to his family about 10 seats down the row. He handed the ball to his young son.
What followed next was hard to believe. A white-haired woman in a Phillies hoodie stormed down the row to the family and grabbed the stunned dad by his shoulder and pointed to the ball and the spot of the scuffle, apparently demanding the ball belonged to her.
Runnerup – any other week, this would be AOTW: Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said with a straight face on Thursday that it is “f-ed up” for people to remember the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for his good deeds.
Just one day following his death, Omar accused Kirk on “Zeteo” of being insensitive to school shootings, the death of George Floyd and slavery. She denied the notion that Kirk helped bring civil political discussion on college campuses by openly debating those he disagreed with.
But no, by far the biggest asshole of the week is the European press, along with the other God Haters who trash the USA and citizens not of their political persuasion.
In Unterlüß, Lower Saxony, Europe’s largest ammunition factory began production yesterday. What started clandestinely is now being publicly scaled with full firepower: the European Union is building its own war economy.
In the good old days in Germany, recessions were typically masked by state-funded infrastructure programs. The concept worked as long as the state did not overgrow, overregulate, or force the private sector into a destructive ideological agenda, as is the case with the green transformation. In other words: the economy was always able to clear away the debris left behind by the state.
Southern Europe Could Never Recover In Southern Europe, where the state’s role has traditionally been high, monetary policy generous, and handling of public funds notoriously lax, this policy left nothing but infrastructure ruins and industrial wastelands. Local economies were never able to productively absorb the artificial credit distributed by Brussels. The fatal consequences of this pseudo-boom still shape the landscape today.
For economic historians, present-day Europe has long been a fascinating study object. Crisis followed crisis, with the public sector intervening each time with increasing volume. The attempt to install the Green Deal, a Keynesian pseudo-economy, must be understood in this context. That Germany’s defense company Rheinmetall yesterday launched Europe’s largest ammunition plant in Unterlüß fits into this narrative.
The company invested half a billion euros to provide an annual capacity of up to 350,000 rounds by 2027. 500 new jobs are to be created, celebrated by politicians as a turning point and the beginning of a pan-European defense architecture.
Ceremony and Half-Truths Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger expressed satisfaction: “It was not easy for us to invest half a billion without orders. I am very grateful to you”—the words were directed at Defense Minister Pistorius—“for keeping your handshake agreements. You are a man of word and deed.” A heavy dose of pathos and self-congratulation is evident here—politics and the defense industry are long intertwined.
Of course, this is only half the truth. Beyond the usual behind-the-scenes deals, politics has made it clear that it is ready to mobilize all means to build a German defense industry and provide sector companies with guarantees and subsidies where necessary. Big business, no risk.
After the collapse of the green economy, politics is now betting everything on the next pseudo-economy. The aim is to loosen dependence on America while exploiting the media spin that stylized Vladimir Putin’s Russia over years as a potential European invader. Whether this fear campaign will work in the long term remains to be seen.
No One Will Fight for Merz or Macron Given the deep economic depression in which Germany and large parts of the EU are stuck, the general war fatigue, and social fractures in core EU states like Germany and France, it is clear that despite the reinstatement of conscription, most citizens will rigorously reject military engagement.
A glance at EU public finances alone is enough to recognize that a war against Russia is political madness. France, with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 115%, is days away from a confidence vote on the new austerity budget. Bond markets are already punishing these bankrupt states. The signs point to savings, not bellicose adventures.
Absurd and Destructive It is absurd in this situation—where Germany has almost fully spent the so-called Bundeswehr special fund of €100 billion and now switches to borrowing mode—to accelerate this path. Yet Brussels, Berlin, Paris, and London are serious. In fall 2026, Rheinmetall plans to launch its next plant in Weeze, producing fuselage components for the F-35 fighter jet. Cost: €200 million, this time directly publicly funded.
Defense factories will mushroom in the coming months and years, producing far beyond civilian demand. Germany plans to raise its defense budget to up to 5% of GDP, which will worsen the impoverishment of its population as the private sector already shrinks by 4–5%. A disaster unseen in Europe since the end of the war.
A hot conflict with Russia is economically highly unlikely. Yet a new Cold War, a state of continuous armament like before 1990, seems to be Europe’s goal. They are trapped in an absurd economic theory of central planning and command economy. A new power base is forming: a corporatism between the defense industry and the political complex in Brussels.
Germany as Anchor Germany has clearly been chosen to finance this economic disaster. The country, previously with one of the lowest debt ratios in the EU at 64%, will double its annual defense budget to €162 billion by 2029. By 2027, the special fund will be exhausted, after which loans up to €400 billion will be required.
Germany will become an active player in bond markets, where interest rates are already rising. The European Central Bank will have plenty of work to keep the rapidly growing debt pile liquid. The EU will also participate with new funds, EDIP and ASAP (a term bordering on infantilism in this context), contributing €50–70 billion annually to joint defense projects.
No Lessons Learned While Germany’s civilian industry collapses, factories close in droves, and the country moves toward mass unemployment—with all consequences for social funds and the domestic climate—we now witness one grand opening after another: pompous inaugurations of defense plants, with champagne popping at our expense.
Europe has learned nothing from the green pseudo-economy disaster. It refuses to analyze how Germany and other industrial centers were deindustrialized. The fatal consequence of building a war economy is that it will siphon scarce resources from productive sectors on a massive scale, making financing and developing civilian enterprises nearly impossible.
Germany is being technologically left behind and bombing its own prosperity—in the literal sense.
Since video surfaced of the Aug. 22 murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, the White House, along with congressional and state Republicans, has assailed Cooper’s Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice (TREC), which he established in 2020.
Republicans say TREC, created to “ensure racial equity in North Carolina’s criminal justice system,” is the reason Decarlos Brown Jr. was free to be on the train when Zarutska sat in the row in front of him on her way home from work.
Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley, who’s running against Cooper for the open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina in 2026, pinned the blame on TREC for policies like cashless bail.
“In 2020, my Democrat opponent, Roy Cooper, tasked a group of extreme leftists with advising him on implementing his executive order, which introduced weak-on-crime policies to North Carolina’s justice system regarding ‘pretrial release, fees, and fines,'” Whatley said in a post this week. “These policy changes empowered dangerous criminals, such as Decarlos Brown Jr., the murderer of Iryna Zarutska.”
I lived there when he was Gov. Almost every policy was against the people or anything morally right. He was an asshole to the people instead of a leader
The Pentagon’s current head of human resources, Stephanie Miller, played a central role in advancing the Biden administration’s diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda and enforcing the military’s controversial COVID vaccine mandate, Breitbart News reported Tuesday.
According to Breitbart, Miller served as an “architect” of the military’s DEI programs, led the effort to keep the vaccine mandate in place even as thousands of service members were forced out, and oversaw policies that expedited citizenship for noncitizen service members — including some who had been deported after criminal convictions.
Retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Samuel Shoemate highlighted Miller’s record on social media and later told Breitbart that she has been a driving force behind policies that weakened readiness and pushed conservative-leaning service members out of the ranks.
“Stephanie has been an adviser to, and architect of, every decision in the military over the last decade and a half that has harmed military readiness and overall military strength,” Shoemate said.
It’s worse than you think. The stats and link are at the bottom. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
“Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a recent video.
“They’re pressured to follow the money, not the science.”
Doctors administer dozens of vaccines to many children in the United States. Adults are also advised to receive multiple shots.
Here’s what to know about vaccines and payments.
What Does the Literature Say?
A review of studies confirms that some doctors profit from vaccinating.
In a 2020 paper, researchers found when analyzing three years’ worth of vaccination claims for five Colorado clinics that reimbursements averaged 125 percent of costs, making administering vaccines “financially favorable across the practices.”
Another study found that various providers in North Carolina, when receiving the maximum payment for reimbursement from insurers or the government, profited from vaccinating patients. Even if they received the minimum payment, pediatric and family medicine practices still reported positive income, according to the 2019 study.
On the other hand, other doctors say the costs of administering certain vaccines to certain people exceed the vaccine payments.
In a survey of 34 pediatricians, for instance, more than half said they do not profit from vaccinating, according to a 2009 paper.
A number of practitioners have also said they face escalating costs associated with vaccination, such as staffing, leading them to stop or consider stopping providing vaccines to patients with private insurance.
Reimbursement for vaccinating patients varies depending on whether patients have private or public insurance. Under a program called Vaccines for Children, the government also provides vaccines to doctors for free. It does not pay for related costs, but doctors can charge an administration fee that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says “helps providers offset their costs of doing business,” with the maximum varying by state.

What About Those Bonuses?
Doctors can make extra money for vaccinating under incentive programs from insurers, as highlighted by Brian Hooker, a senior scientist with Children’s Health Defense—a group Kennedy chaired through 2023—and other witnesses during a hearing in July on vaccines held by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
“Some pediatricians can make upwards to a million or more a year just in those incentives,” Hooker said.
Asked for citations, Hooker pointed The Epoch Times to documents he collected from insurance companies that list available bonuses.
Links to those and other documents that outline incentives and are available online are provided below:
Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Care Network of Michigan: $400 per child who receives a set of 24 or 25 vaccine doses on or before their second birthday.
Aetna Better Health of Louisiana: $10–$25 per member, depending on level of COVID-19 vaccination coverage practice-wide.
Molina Healthcare of Ohio: $100 incentive for COVID-19 vaccination.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid: $50 per individual aged 6 months and older who received a COVID-19 vaccine by Dec. 31, 2022.
United Healthcare Community Plan of Michigan: Incentives for patients who receive the meningococcal, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), and HPV vaccines by their 13th birthday.
Meridian: Up to $120 per child who receives the 24 or 25 doses by their second birthday, or adolescents who received three certain doses by their 13th birthday, capped at $9,600 for each category.
BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois: $149 for each child, if 63 percent or more meet criteria, who received the 24 or 25 vaccine doses by the time they turn 2.
Central California Alliance for Health: Bonuses for children who receive at least 24 doses by the time they turn 2 and the three certain doses before they turn 13.
The sets of vaccines for which providers receive bonuses are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The man accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska appeared to admit to doing so in a video released Friday by the Charlotte transit authority.
Authorities say Zarutska, who worked at an area pizza restaurant, was stabbed to death Aug. 22 on a Charlotte light rail train by DeCarlos Brown, a man with a lengthy criminal history. The video, posted on WBTV’s YouTube account, shows events before and after the attack, but does not show Zarutska being stabbed.
“I got that white girl, I got that white girl,” Brown said as other passengers went to the aid of Zarutska, while waiting for the train to make a stop so he could exit.

In a daring and costly mission dubbed Operation Freedom Fetchers, Wyoming’s Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary has begun the process of rescuing 47 beagles from a research facility in China — dogs believed to be connected to American-owned or funded experiments.
The first group of ten beagles touched down in Los Angeles on August 25, after a grueling flight from Shanghai, a night at a Centers for Disease Control quarantine facility, and a 20-hour van ride to the sanctuary in Hartville, Wyoming.
A new report confirms what millions of Americans had already known for years: Joe Biden’s Department of Education was weaponized against Christians, unleashing the full weight of the federal government to punish people of faith.
The findings come from the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, created under President Donald Trump and chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
According to the report obtained by Fox News, the Biden administration engaged in “numerous instances” of anti-Christian bias that went far beyond policy disagreements and into outright persecution.
“The Task Force makes this commitment: the federal government will never again be permitted to turn its power against people of faith,” the report reads.
“Under President Trump and Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, in partnership with all members of this Task Force, the rule of law will be enforced with vigor, and every religion will be treated with equality in both policy and action.
Under Trump’s leadership, the DOE will now rescind excessive fines targeting Christian colleges, and it pledges to uphold religious freedom in K-12 schools.
The report cites recent cases, Vitsaxaki v. Skaneateles Central School District (NY) and Damiano v. Grants Pass School District 7 (OR), as examples of how public sc
Jeffrey Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips toldreporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday that victims are considering releasing a list of those tied to their abuse if the Department of Justice fails to disclose more documents.
Phillips made several press conference appearances in Washington as survivors advocate for Congress to pass bills that could offer additional protections for victims of sex trafficking, such as those who fell prey to the disgraced late financier Epstein.
“Several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names,” Phillips said, adding, “We know the names. Many of us were abused by them.”
The government is killing them off as fast as they did in France with the Guillotine. What about that socialized healthcare that the celebtards were raving about?
According to a recent article in TheAtlantic, assisted suicide is now so popular in Canada that doctors cannot keep up with the demand. Appropriately titled Canada is Killing Itself, the article described how Medical Assistance in Dying (or MAiD), passed just 10 years ago, now accounts for about one in 20 deaths in Canada. That number is more than the total number of combined deaths from Alzheimer’s and diabetes, and it surpasses many countries where assisted dying has been legal for far longer. The shortage of “care” is not due to a lack of interest from medical professionals. Doctors are in fact flocking to join what the Atlantic article called “the world’s fastest-growing euthanasia regime.”
For example, Dr. Stefanie Green, a founder of the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, traded in her decades-long practice as a maternity doctor to end lives. Both kinds of medicine, she told The Atlantic, are “deliveries.” Some doctors have reported euthanizing hundreds of patients and yet, the demand exceeds the supply.
Despite what Canadian officials have claimed, there are no effective “safeguards.” A report last year in the New Atlantis noted hundreds of serious violations of regulations in just the Ontario province, and none have been reported to law enforcement. Although Ontario Chief Coroner Dirk Huyer boasted, “Every case is reported. Everybody has scrutiny on all these cases,” physician whistleblowers identified over 400 “issues with compliance.” These range from patients killed who were not capable of consent to communication breakdowns with pharmacists providing the deadly prescriptions. For example, only 61% of physicians notify pharmacists about the purpose of the euthanasia medications prior to dispensation, as required.
Just ask Toby Keith and Joe Diffie and a host of others who went from killing it in the gym to dead very quickly
A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Italy has just shattered the narrative peddled by Big Pharma, corporate media, and government health bureaucrats.
For the first time, a population-wide cohort of nearly 300,000 people tracked over 30 months has revealed that the so-called “safe and effective” COVID-19 shots are linked to alarming spikes in multiple forms of cancer.
Researchers followed every resident aged 11 and older in Italy’s Pescara province from June 2021 through December 2023, examining hospital records and adjusting for age, sex, prior health conditions, and even prior COVID infection.
The researchers allegedly found that those who received at least one vaccine dose had a much lower risk of dying from any cause compared to the unvaccinated, and this protective effect was even stronger in people who had three or more doses.
When looking at cancer, the picture was less clear. People who had been vaccinated appeared somewhat more likely to be hospitalized with a new cancer diagnosis than those who were unvaccinated, particularly for cancers of the breast, bladder, and colon.
However, this increased risk was only evident in people who had never been infected with COVID-19, and it disappeared—or even reversed—when the analysis required at least twelve months to pass between vaccination and a hospital admission for cancer.
Hospitalizations for cancer were 35% higher in vaccinated individuals versus the unvaccinated (HR 1.23).
The link was strongest in men and in those with no prior COVID infection.
Overall Cancer Risk: +23% after just one dose
Breast Cancer: +54% risk after vaccination
Bladder Cancer: +62% increased risk
Colorectal Cancer: +35% increased risk
Even after multiple doses, the risks remained elevated across the board.
Good luck reading it. I’ll let others search if there are any untoward things. There are a few politicians and actors I’d be ok with if they showed up on the list.
The interview with Ghislaine Maxwell is also there.
There are over 33,000 documents. Names will be in those files. Per the victims, we need to follow the money trail. This was a well orchestrated operation with many tentacles to include shell corporations, etc.
Chairman Comer via House Oversight is sending a SARS request to the US Treasury.
There is a lot to uncover ref the Deutsche Bank and how money was funneled and moved.
Epstein’s network was described as an international trafficking network to all members of congress who were present (both Democrat and Republican) and also involved trafficking women from Slavic nations as well. Immigration fraud, etc. Many of those women have stayed silent due to fear of retribution.
Foreign governments (as in more than one) were named to be working with Epstein.
Victim information, rightfully so, was redacted from release, but the committee as a whole is working to ensure that they will be given access to their information that was previously denied to them by other admins. Ty to the Trump admin for handing all of this over.
One victim had her newborn daughter threatened for coming forward.
Epstein was still victimizing underaged girls while on work-release while wearing an ankle monitor, only to spend the evening in prison.
The attorneys of some of these implicated individuals have apparently already tried to contact some of the victims attorney’s.
Rep Comer is running point on this and I am fully backing these efforts.
Over the past four decades, participation in protests and demonstrations advocating policies that eventuate in the destruction of a culture and society have evolved into a full-time liberal female occupation. The majority of these protestors are 50+ year-old white women augmented by a vast number of vacuous college-educated white women of all age groups who together with their race-obsessed college-educated black female counterparts are mindlessly hellbent on destroying American civilization.
The societal damage that liberal females, and in particular white women, have wrought over the past four decades is bordering on the incalculable and brings to mind a quote from Helen Keller (1880-1968). In her autobiography The Story of My Lifeshe wrote: “I think the degree of a nation’s civilization may be measured by the degree of enlightenment of its women.”
There is a direct correlation between the accelerated decline of American civilization over the past forty years and the rise of the outsized influence of unenlightened and supercilious liberal women.
Some years ago, I watched a panel discussion with a number of professors at a prestigious Ivy League university. These academics were regaling a naïve and worshipful audience of mostly white with a smattering of black women about the necessity of viewing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), the LGTBQ movement, and Third Wave Feminism as all-encompassing national civil rights battles.
It shows there was no leadership, DEI was exposed as a failure and that situations can be handled.
It’s hard to argue with the recent numbers. Washington DC has long been a national embarrassment for the American public, consistently ranking high on the list of the most crime ridden cities in the US. The city consistently ranks in the top 20 for overall crime, 13th out of 200 US cities with the highest property crime and it was ranked 4th in the US for homicide last year.
While Democrats claim that the mayhem has been in decline since 2023, they don’t mention the fact that there was a dramatic spike in assaults, robberies, rapes and murders that year. Meaning, even with the drop, in 2025 DC still ranks among the worst cities in the US. There are also suspicions of data rigging by DC officials.
Throttled prosecution numbers cloud the real picture of safety in the capital and one wonders if anything Democrats say can be trusted. After all, these are the same people that tried to tell us there was no stagflation crisis. These are the same people that tried to tell us there was no immigration crisis. These are the same people that told us the BLM riots were “fiery but mostly peaceful”.
The vicious cycle is obvious. So why not stop raising the loan maximums? Because higher education is a $200+ billion industry. Even in the public university system, an entrenched bureaucracy is getting wealthy off high tuition. The corrupt cycle looks like this: university administrators and faculty unions donate to left-wing super PACs. In return, they ask for increased student loan limits and more federal grants under the banner of increasing “affordability” for students. Universities then raise tuition and funnel the new money into raises, administrative expansion, and campus construction projects. Then, faculty members continue indoctrinating students to vote for far-left candidates, and the racket continues.
“Between 1976 and 2018, full-time administrators and other professionals employed by those institutions increased by 164% and 452%, respectively. Meanwhile, the number of full-time faculty employed at colleges and universities in the U.S. increased by only 92%, marginally outpacing student enrollment which grew by 78%.”
University administrators are not using the increased tuition revenue to create smaller class sizes or improve student’s education. They are inflating the bureaucracy to create a colossal social justice organization.
Graduation now depends on ideological coursework; every student in the California State University system’s 23 campuses must take a class in ethnic studies or social justice. The point is twofold: indoctrinate students in radical leftist ideology and create education jobs for graduates with useless degrees like San Francisco State’s Social Justice Education program. It’s a pyramid scheme designed to enrich the academic elite and cement progressive dogma in the young professional class.
Universities are so effective at converting students into activists that the education system can’t even afford to employ them all. We have begun to see the private sector’s culture shift to placate the radical employees coming out of colleges. So many young adults have fallen under the spell of left-wing cultural ideology that an entirely new industry has appeared out of thin air. “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” training and consulting is now a $15 billion industry. Firms now feel obligated to create mandatory training programs under pressure from young employees. These consulting fees are nothing but tributes to activists in exchange for a “Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free” card in case an employee says something in public contrary to leftist social doctrine. While universities have succeeded at getting rich by indoctrinating students and poisoning our culture, they’ve also buried an entire generation in debt.
My wife is Scandinavian. I’ve heard 3 decades of shit from them about free education, free medical, and free money if you can’t work or are going to school, or basically, if you are alive, you can suck off the system. There are a lot of illegals and goat herders who are getting free money also. Someone is paying for it.
The problem I point out is that their 70% tax rate is paying for this.
The other problem is that almost everyone in her family who got an operation had to either have it redone or had results that would be malpractice were it not socialized medicine.
Not all of her country finishes high school. So much for the education.
Even they don’t believe it is free anymore. Their argument couldn’t hold water as soon as I asked a couple of questions about how the economics work. They can be insufferable so the less we talk, usually the better, for me at least. You can only listen to so much shit before it gets old and it got old for me decades ago.
Now This:
Europe’s free university model is often seen as a triumph of modern society. With no crushing tuition bills, minimal student debt, and a promise of equal access, it sounds ideal. In countries like Germany and France, students pay only a small administrative fee, typically between $200 and $500 a year, compared to the staggering tuition costs in the US or UK. Many also receive financial aid in the form of grants that don’t need to be repaid, or low-interest loans based on need.
But behind the promises of fairness and opportunity lies a system that too often feels rigid, overcrowded, and uninspiring.
For all its accessibility, the reality of navigating these institutions can leave students feeling like just another number in a giant, bureaucratic machine.
When education is available to everyone, universities become packed. Lecture halls overflow, and personal contact with professors becomes rare. In many European countries, it is normal to attend classes with hundreds of other students. There is little space for discussion, feedback, or even questions.
You sit, you take notes, you pass or fail. It feels more like an assembly line than a place for learning. And the numbers explain why. In 2022, the European Union had 18.8 million students, about 7 percent of its total population, enrolled in tertiary education. In the United States, about 19.1 million people were enrolled in college during the 2024–25 academic year. In addition to similar enrollment figures, both the EU and the US have made higher education widely accessible. In the EU, where tuition is often free or heavily subsidized, higher education has been expanded to accommodate the majority. As of 2022, 44 percent of EU citizens aged 25–34 had completed a tertiary degree, compared to 50 percent in the US.
The two systems differ in structure. What sets these systems apart is not the number of students, but how education is delivered. European universities tend to rely on large lectures, rigid course pathways, and limited institutional competition. The result is a model built for efficiency over individualization. US institutions, by contrast, operate in a competitive, decentralized environment with a wider range of academic structures, including smaller colleges and more flexible program design.
When higher education is scaled to serve nearly everyone, as in much of Europe, it risks trading depth for throughput and personalization for administrative convenience. It works, but at the cost of treating education less as a journey and more as a bureaucratic process.
For about a decade, big tech firms, the government, and corporate media outlets pushed endless streams of propaganda at young people to “learn to code,” luring them with promises of six-figure salaries and job security.
That hype fueled a boom in computer science majors, with the number of undergraduates more than doubling since 2014. But the coding-boom narrative has since collapsed, and a growing number of computer science graduates are finding few opportunities – some even ending up in fast-food jobs at chains like Chipotle.
“Learn to code” actually turned out to be very terrible advice.
Take the corporate media news matrix: According to Bloomberg data, the story count of “learn to code” exploded between 2015 and early 2021. Post 2021, those stories have dramatically subsided as reality sets in, and layoffs at major tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, combined with the rapid adoption of AI coding tools, have left many graduates unable to land jobs, according to The New York Times.
Data via Bloomberg…
“The rhetoric was, if you just learned to code, work hard, and get a computer science degree, you can get six figures for your starting salary,” Manasi Mishra, now 21, who was quoted by the NYT.
Mishra said in a viral TikTok video this summer that “I just graduated with a computer science degree, and the only company that has called me for an interview is Chipotle.”
The NYT pointed out that unemployment among computer science and engineering grads has risen as high as 7.5%, which is more than double that of art history or biology majors.
“Shut it down!” then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., and Washington D.C. reported.
The agents tried to get the help of federal prosecutors to determine whether or what crimes occurred while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, most notably, because at that time, her family foundation solicited hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign and U.S. interests with business before her department.
I could have picked Comey and Clapper also…
But not to be outdone are these 3 assholes of the week
The ‘Ghastly’ Gamble: How the Clinton–Obama Intelligence Op Risked War to Take Down Trump
They sought to amplify it—to demonize him alongside Donald Trump and turn the Russian president into a political cudgel. The aim was to hang Putin like a leaden albatross around Trump’s neck as part of a broader strategy to bring Trump down.
This was a multi-pronged operation—inside and outside the government—with a domestic objective at its core: to destroy Trump before he could win or govern, by laundering a phony narrative through the Steele dossier and fabricated claims of collusion.
And by their own words, Putin was in the crosshairs too.
Which raises significant questions: What exactly were they trying to provoke? Were they attempting to drive U.S.-Russia relations into permanent hostility? A new Cold War—while risking a “hot” one?
They knew it could spark a geopolitical catastrophe. They did it anyway.
To goad a nuclear adversary into miscalculation? Or were U.S.-Russia relations simply collateral damage—acceptable fallout in a calculated effort to legitimize a manufactured Trump-Putin narrative and politically cripple their chosen target?
Perhaps there was a hierarchy of objectives, undoubtedly with Trump’s destruction at the top. But the targeting of Putin was not incidental. It was deliberate, and it cannot be dismissed.
The Durham annex makes that crystal clear.
One of the most revealing suspected emails cited in the declassified Durham annex didn’t come from an intelligence officer.
It came from Leonard Bernardo, a top official at George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, reacting to internal Clinton-camp discussions about how to frame the Russia narrative.
Julie says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire… Anyway, things are ghastly for US-Russian relations. —Leonard Bernardo, July 25, 2016 email (Durham Annex, pp. 9-10) [emphasis added].
The annex itself notes that “Julie” appears to refer to Julianne Smith, a foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
At the time, Smith was Director of the Transatlantic Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, where she served from 2014 to 2018. She later served as President Biden’s Ambassador to NATO from 2021 to 2024.
Let that sink in. As early as July 2016, a Soros-linked operative was acknowledging—privately—that the Clinton operation would weaponize intelligence, politicize federal law enforcement, and court geopolitical blowback—all to score a fleeting post-convention bounce, while openly admitting it was just the start of a long-term political operation.
And they knew the “ghastly” consequences it could have for U.S.-Russia relations.
The Durham annex notes that certain analysts and officers interviewed by the Special Counsel’s office assessed the Bernardo email—and others—as “likely authentic.”
While Bernardo later denied some details, he reportedly acknowledged that describing U.S.-Russia relations as ‘ghastly’ was something he might say.
To grasp the recklessness of this operation, consider what Russia brings to the table:
A rapidly advancing arsenal of hypersonic missiles—including the Avangard, Kh-47M2 Kinzhal, and RS-28 Sarmat (NATO codename: Satan II)—engineered to bypass U.S. missile defenses and strike with near-unstoppable speed.
A fully modernized nuclear triad, comprising ICBMs, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and long-range strategic bombers.
A cyberwarfare force that has already disrupted NATO allies, global financial systems, and critical infrastructure.
Russia is not a country one antagonizes casually—least of all by fabricating evidence that its leader colluded with a U.S. presidential candidate.
Yet that’s precisely what Clinton allies—with Barack Obama’s tacit blessing—did.
AI took us from micromanaging light bulbs to Microsoft re-starting 3 Mile Island because they need the power to run their engine. It’s like the made up climate crisis never happened.
Now, companies (and China) are racing to get their hands on as much power-generating capacity.
Data center demand is rising at a break neck speed, with little signs of slowing.
As the electricity consumption of AI rises, by 2028, a projected 12% of U.S. electricity demand could be driven from data centers. Beyond America, countries are pouring billions into AI sovereignty efforts which require data center facilities running 24/7 to power them.
Here is the share of each region’s total power demand that is driven by center centers:
As we can see, America’s data center demand leads globally, at 8.9% of total power consumption.
In Virginia, data centers account for 26% of the state’s total power consumption—or nearly triple the national average. This year, the state’s leading utility firm expects to connect 15 new data centers given surging demand.
As big tech ramps up AI spending, a significant share is being funnelled into massive data centers along with the energy sources that power them. In particular, demand for nuclear is expanding at the fastest rate in decades.
By comparison, data centers comprise 4.8% of the total power share in the European Union and 2.3% in China.
Nancy Pelosi is probably kicking herself over her most recent X post, because it opened a can of worms she never wanted spilled. But TDS got in the way, and she couldn’t help herself. In a desperate effort to smear President Trump’s plan to clean up DC’s deadly streets, Pelosi took to X and claimed that Trump “delayed” deploying the National Guard on January 6… a claim that instantly blew back on her, in a big way, dredging up an old debate about her role that day.
But even worse for Pelosi was the blistering response from former Capitol Police Chief Sund, which confirmed what most of us already knew – that Pelosi’s actions and decisions shaped what happened on January 6.
Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake. Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.
Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.
On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, “running it up the chain” for your approval.
When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.
The video of Byrd shooting and killing unarmed Ashli Babbitt has been released. They coward Byrd shoots Ashli around 10 ft away with capital police literally behind her. If we did this on Iraq or Afghanistan we would be charged, rightfully so, for war crimes! Byrd is lucky he… https://t.co/h9vHrSnP5L
Look later, as I’m going post how Nancy Pelosi was behind a lot of January 6th. She’s a vicious piece of work. I couldn’t use the word woman because she’s too evil for even that.
Washington D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith was humiliated earlier today after revealing that she apparently doesn’t know what the term “chain of command” means.
During a press briefing, a reporter asked Smith “Do you know what the chain of command is now?” referring to President Trump having deployed National Guard troops to the capital to restore law and order.
Smith looked puzzled and responded “What does that mean?”
This woman has been on this planet for 57 years and she was today years old when she found out what chain of command meant.
Trump announced the deployment of approximately 800 National Guard troops to D.C. alongside the federalization of the city’s Metropolitan Police Department, citing a “public safety emergency” due to what he described as rampant crime and lawlessness in the nation’s capital.
Trump invoked Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to take control of the police for up to 48 hours during emergencies, extendable to 30 days with congressional notification, to justify this unprecedented move.
He claimed the city had been “overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals,” pointing to high-profile incidents like the assault of a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer during an attempted carjacking.
CNN ADMITS America Thinks Democrat Party Is ‘Total & Complete Garbage’
Democrats may have just realized that having “orange man bad” as their sole political message for the past 10 years was a really bad idea. In a surprisingly blunt segment on CNN News Central, the show’s hosts acknowledged what many Americans have long suspected: the Democratic Party was “a complete and utter mess” as they looked toward the 2028 presidential election. With no frontrunner, deep internal disarray, and record-low favorability ratings; you knew things were bad when even CNN sounded the alarm.
The analysis was sparked by former Vice President Kamala Harris’s return to the national stage to promote her book on her campaign for president in 2024. While co-anchor Kate Bolduan made sure to note that Harris had not ruled out a future presidential run, CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten wasted no time in downplaying her chances. “The chance that Kamala Harris is going to be the 2028 Democratic nominee. They don’t look too good right now, to be perfectly honest with you,” he asserted.
This is posted at the same time as the post about Americans refusing the jab because they know it’s dangerous and it doesn’t work. I did it on purpose so read both.
Just so you know that the CDC is a bunch of CSMF who don’t have your health in their best interest. Here’s your tip of the day, keep the government out of your medical life as much as possible.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is insisting people take MORE COVID shots this year, despite a long list of serious side effects that include cardiac arrest – or death.
The shots were introduced during the pandemic several years ago that circled the globe and killed millions.
They all were introduced under an “experimental” label as manufacturers wanted to start selling them before the ordinary testing procedures were done.
The medical establishment, including such high-profile personalities like Anthony Fauci, the adviser to Joe Biden on COVID who once insisted that arguing with him was arguing with “the science,” publicly rejected existing treatments that could, and did, help some people, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, because for the experimental products to be used there was a requirement that other treatments not be available.
Now comes this year’s advisory in which the CDC repeatedly demands people get the shots, without a single word about the potentially lethal side effects.
It shoots down the abortionist (liberal) argument that a pre-born baby is just a bunch of cells. It proves life begins at conception, or this couldn’t be true.

On July 26, 2025, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born in Ohio from an embryo frozen for over 30 years, marking a record for the longest-frozen embryo leading to a live birth, as reported by MIT Technology Review.
Lindsey and Tim Pierce adopted the embryo through Nightlight Christian Adoptions’ Snowflakes program. The embryo, created in 1994, originated from biological mother Linda Archerd via IVF.
In the early 1990s, Archerd and her then-husband faced infertility for six years before turning to IVF, a then-emerging technology, according to the BBC.
They produced four embryos, with one implanted to become Archerd’s now-30-year-old daughter, who has a 10-year-old child. The remaining three were cryopreserved, with Archerd paying annual storage fees of about $1,000.
After her marriage ended and she reached menopause, Archerd, now 62, chose not to discard the embryos or donate them for research.
As a Christian, she opted for embryo adoption to have input on the adoptive parents. She specified preferences for a married, Caucasian, Christian couple in the US.
Lindsey Pierce, 35, and Tim Pierce, 34, had tried for seven years to conceive before exploring embryo adoption. They registered with the Snowflakes program, open to various embryo criteria.
Good, get that poison out of the system. It’s a death jab unless they learn to understand DNA. The last administration used it as a weapon instead of a cure. We’re not ready yet for this to be productized. Look at the excess deaths and turbo cancers because of the Covid jab
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized mRNA vaccines in a video posted on his social media accountsImage: Allison Bailey/NurPhoto/picture alliance
The US government has decided to halt the funding of 22 projects focused on the development and manufacturing of mRNA-based vaccines that help fight respiratory diseases like COVID-19 and the flu.
The decision, announced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stemmed from his personal and unproven theories about the efficacy of vaccines and marks the latest attempt in a string of efforts that weave vaccine distrust into US health policy.
What did Kennedy say about the vaccines?
“We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” Kennedy said in a statement.
The health department’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is “terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu,” he added.
In total, the halted projects are worth “nearly $500 million,” the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said.
Mayor of Cincinnati Aftab Pureval has more important things to do than worry about a pair of Caucasians viciously beaten by a black mob — like restricting our right to bear arms so that we cannot defend ourselves. That’s why he couldn’t be bothered to reach out to the victims:
Don’t tell me the reason that you’re calling Is to see if I’m all right since you’ve been gone ‘Cause I know you and I know why we’re talking You’re wanting me to say I’m barely hanging on Well, maybe that was true for a night or two But now, I got better things to do
[Chorus:] I could wash my car in the rain Change my new guitar strings Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday I don’t need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do
Maybe when I don’t have so much going Or quite so many irons in the fire I’ll take the time to miss you like you’re hoping But now, I can’t put forth the effort it requires Well, I’d love to talk to you, but then, I’d miss Donahue That’s right, I got better things to do
[Repeat Chorus]
Check the air in my tires Straighten my stereo wires Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life I don’t need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do I got better things to do
And was arrogant about it and stepped on people’s lives. He lied skillfully, freely and with impunity.
One of the many deceitful operatives in the Obama administration was Ben Rhodes, the obedient teller of lies. He knew they were creating a hoax, though he denies it, and still he wrote this tweet. The depth of deceit gives one the creeps.
Rhodes was the former Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama. Every lie he told was approved by Obama. Rhodes was his dutiful scribe.
A newly-declassified House Intelligence Committee report alleges that the Obama-era intelligence assessment on Russian election meddling used the discredited Steele Dossier to underpin its conclusion that Vladimir Putin aspired to help Donald Trump win the 2016 election, directly challenging the testimony of officials like CIA Director John Brennan, who denied that had happened.
The report, released Thursday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard after years of being locked away at the CIA, also alleges the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment “glossed over” evidence that Putin may have instead favored (or at least fully expected) a Hillary Clinton victory nine years ago.
“The judgment that Putin developed a ‘clear preference’ for candidate Trump and ‘aspired to help his chances of victory’ did not adhere to the tenets of the ICD (Intelligence Community Directive) analytical standards,” the report found.
“The ICA ignored and selectively quoted reliable intelligence reports that challenged and in some cases undermined judgments that Putin sought to elect Trump,” the report added. “The ICA failed to consider plausible alternative explanations of Putin’s intentions indicated by reliable intelligence and observed Russian actions.”
According to a new study published last week in NPJ Vaccines, Japanese researchers engineered an entirely new strain of bird flu, combining the genetic material of two separate wild viruses to create what they call Vac-3: a pathogen that is “a reassortant virus between A/duck/Hokkaido/101/2004 (H5N3) and A/duck/Hokkaido/262/2004 (H6N1).”
This lab-built virus—A/duck/Hokkaido/Vac-3/2007 (H5N1)—was never observed in nature.
It was artificially assembled, grown in eggs, concentrated, and inactivated with formalin to become the whole-particle vaccine used in long-term testing on nonhuman primates.
The new study comes after NIH-funded researchers at the University of Georgia, Mount Sinai, and Texas Biomed were caught engineering lab-made H5N1 bird flu viruses—one of which killed 100% of exposed mammals—using synthetic DNA constructs and then deliberately infecting live dairy cows, all under the same $59 million federal contract that has also been tied to mammal-adapted, drug-resistant strain development.
Japan is also working with U.S. scientists on other projects to build lab-made horse-human influenza hybrids that replicate 100 times faster than natural strains using aborted fetal cells engineered with the cancer-linked SV40 virus, also under the banner of vaccine development.
All of these developments raise fears that another man-made pandemic is on the horizon, as Congress, the White House, the Department of Energy, the FBI, and the CIA have acknowledged that a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is most likely the origin of COVID-19.
Progressive politics may promise empowerment, but for many liberal women, the result appears to be rising misery and isolation.
A growing body of data points to a clear trend: liberal women are statistically the most dissatisfied and mentally unwell demographic in the country, and experts say it may have more to do with worldview than circumstance.
According to a 2024 survey from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), just 12% of liberal women aged 18-40 report being “completely satisfied” with their lives.
In contrast, 37% of conservative women in the same age group report full satisfaction, a difference that speaks volumes.
The findings come from the 2024 American Family Survey, which also shows that liberal women are two to three times more likely to say they are “not satisfied” with their lives.
Marriage and faith, two traditional anchors of community and stability, may play a key role in the satisfaction divide.
56% of conservative women in the study are married, while only 37% of liberal women are.
Church attendance reflects a similar gap: 53% of conservative women attend religious services weekly, compared to just 12% of liberal women.
That detachment from relational and spiritual communities may be fueling widespread loneliness.
Nearly 30% of liberal women report frequent loneliness, while only 11% of conservatives say the same.
“These women are lacking key support systems that help weather life’s inevitable challenges,” said Brad Wilcox, a senior fellow at IFS.
“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.
“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.”
An insider in America’s intelligence community who now has turned whistleblower says he refused to concur in the manipulated intelligence assessment created under Barack Obama that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help candidate Donald Trump, and immediately was excluded from further discussions.
Further, his concerns about the falsehoods being pushed by that agenda were ignored, he said.
A report in the Washington Times cites the whistleblower, unidentified, in explaining he was pressured by his Obama administration superiors to go along with the staged arguments.
Evidence being found in newly declassified documents suggests that Hillary Clinton fabricated the Russiagate scandal for Trump because of concerns voters would remember her scandalous behavior when she put national secrets on an unsecured computer server she set up.
The documents also suggested the campaign to fabricate claims of links between Trump’s campaign and Russia was aided by Democrat officials from Obama down.
More information has been promised, and multiple Obama-era officials already have been referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and possible charges.
The Examiner reported the senior U.S. intel official confirmed he was pressured to endorse the false conclusions created under the anti-Trump scheme, and then he was cut out of discussions.
A Louisiana woman is being accused of fraud by investigators who say she was running a multi-million-dollar empire involving several companies and bought a $100,000 Lamborghini but still claimed – and took – Medicaid benefits.
A report from Fox News explains Candace Taylor, 35, from Slidell, is facing felony counts, accused by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office of fraudulently taking Medicaid benefits.
Starting Friday, federal student loans under the SAVE (“Saving on a Valuable Education”) repayment plan will begin accruing interest again. This affects approximately 7.7 million to 8 million borrowers, said federal stats — interest had been paused during ongoing legal action.
Advocacy group estimates suggest this will cost the typical borrower around $3,500 per year in interest, which breaks down to about $300 extra per month on average, according to the Education Department.
Courts invalidated key provisions of the SAVE program, including the zero‑interest feature. A court injunction requires loan servicers to begin charging interest again starting Friday.
The U.S. federal government suspended interest on student loans—and paused payments and collections—primarily due to the COVID‑19 emergency.
Earlier this year, the usual suspects were putting out horror scenarios of a summer of heat and drought across Europe in 2025. The most extreme model runs, with temperatures soaring to 45°C, were presented as serious forecasts and as being worrying evidence of runaway climate change.
But now the opposite has occurred and the fear-mongers are now either quiet or simply distorting the facts.
Especially in Central Europe, like across Germany, the weather has turned cool and rainy.
Germany’s Das Wetter.com here recently has since warned of 30 com of snowfall in the Alps – in July!:
Anyone who thought the last few weeks had been cool and changeable should dress warmly. Because from Monday, temperatures across Germany will continue to plummet. This is due to a wave of cold Arctic air rushing in from the far north. Highs of under 20 degrees will then be the reality in many places – in July!”
Heavy snow in the Alps in July
In his article, meteorologist Johannes Habermehl then adds that the snow line in the Alps will be dropping “to just 2500 meters – in some places even lower”, with some forecasting “up to 30 centimetres of fresh snow” at higher altitudes.
Lowest Six-Month Human Death Toll From Bad Weather Since Records Began
Something rather odd is happening to the weather. Millions, nay billions, are on the move fleeing droughts, floods, wildfires, runaway temperatures, rising sea levels (see any mainstream media page climate page to fill in rest of sentence). Armageddon will only be put on pause when hard-Left elites take control of the climate and corral us all into their fantasy world of Net Zero. But hold on a minute – news just in. The first half of 2025 has seen the smallest number of deaths related to extreme weather since records began. And more weird weather news – despite boiling seas, all four northern hemisphere ocean basins in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are running below average on accumulated cyclone energy. The North Atlantic has seen very little activity with the ACE energy measurement from January 1st to July 21st running at only 41% of the 1991-2020 average.
The cyclone news is natural variation of course, but don’t let on to climate fanatics. The news on deaths from extreme weather is not. It is a long-term trend that has seen weather fatalities plunge by over 99% during the last 100 years. As hydrocarbon use pulls billions out of grinding poverty, so fortunate humans can use the extra wealth to protect themselves against all that Nature throws at life on Earth.
So for people I had to work with like Tom Raftery, Tim O’Reilly and James Governor, the gig is up and so are the lies, but go on believing your religion.
And this gem:
By the numbers the scam is almost comical: 384 individual charging ports, $7.5 billion burned, $19.5 million per plug. That’s enough to buy every Tesla owner in America a home charger—twice—yet all taxpayers got was a handful of glorified parking spots.
WHO POCKETED THE CASH? • EVgo, ChargePoint, and Electrify America—all heavy Democratic donors—walked away with the biggest CFI grants. • The Greenlining Institute, NAACP Climate Initiative, and West Harlem Environmental Action were hired as “equity consultants” at $1,200 an hour to ensure 40 % of funds flowed to “underserved communities” per Biden’s 2021 “Justice40” diktat. • BlueGreen Alliance (a coalition of the Sierra Club and the United Steelworkers) lobbied for set-asides that require every single station to use union-only labor—driving costs up another 30 %. • BlackRock’s Climate Finance Partnership skimmed management fees on green bonds floated to finance the program.
Why have there been so many air traffic control issues lately? Is it because Trump has begun to trim a little fat from the bloated federal bureaucracy, as the media would have us believe? Or is it because for 4 years the secretary of transportation was a left-wing nitwit whose only job qualification was that he is ostentatiously homosexual?
The Air Traffic Control is being run off of diskettes, Musk found that out.
Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.
In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.
According to Democrat ideology, transportation makes it be too hot outside by requiring energy, so why would he want to facilitate Americans having more of it?
What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years — at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show.
Again we see that the Biden Administration was not so much a government as a looting spree.
“He was definitely pushing an agenda,” an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had “little to no interest” and took “definitely zero action” toward air traffic control modernization.
Gobbling up our money on behalf of their malevolent agenda is the whole point for Democrats. That’s why their transportation secretary was not required to know anything about transportation.
As of last month, an Emerson College poll of registered voters found the former transportation secretary leading the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field with 16% support, followed by ex-Vice President Kamala Harris at 13%.
Among Democrats, this kooky and incompetent creep is a star.
DNIGabbard said on Wednesday that she was referring former President Barack Obama for criminal charges to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
“We have referred and will continue to refer all these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this,” Gabbard said.
“The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,” she continued.
“There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.”
So he was in charge of going after Trump on top of trying to ruin America, paying off terrorists in Iran and is doing a poor job of staying in the closet.
Stuff like this and the rest of the FBI story would make anyone the Asshole of the Week, but Obama was president and didn’t respect the office, the country and finally, you and me.
Government conspiracies break down into two basic types, those of concealment and those of execution. The former are frighteningly common—Watergate, TWA 800, Benghazi. The latter are rare and potentially more destructive than even the “hide the decline” deep-sixing of Joe Biden’s senility.
“Russiagate,” for lack of a better term, looms as the most subversive conspiracy of execution in American history. Thanks to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, we have proof that it was not mere misjudgment.
On Friday, Gabbard lowered the boom. In her own words, “After President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.” Her bullet points go straight to the heart of the treason.
In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”
On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign advaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC [intelligence community] leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”
Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”
On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.
On July 18, 1925, Adolph Hitler’s book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was published. Written while he was in Landsberg prison, where he was serving a relatively relaxing sentence for the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch coup, Hitler made very clear what he would do if the German people put him and the leftist National Socialist Party in power.
Mein Kampf is in two volumes. Part 1 has stories about Hitler’s life, including serving as a soldier in World War I. The book sold a paltry 9,473 copies in its first year. At the time, few people cared what a short man with a funny moustache thought.
Part 2 was published in 1927. Unlike many politicians who hide their true goals, Hitler put it all in his book for the entire world to read. He was very clear about his antisemitic views and what he would do to make Germany Judenfrei if he gained power and could implement his Third Reich agenda.
Image created using public domain images.
Sales of the two volumes continued to be slow as many Germans viewed Hitler as more of a comic (funny moustache, short, feminine speaking mannerisms, etc.). At first, they didn’t take him or his left-wing National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) seriously. In “Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show,” Tom Phillips writes about how many viewed Hitler as a fool:
In fact, this may even have helped his rise to power, as he was consistently underestimated by the German elite. Before he became Chancellor, many of his opponents had dismissed him as a joke for his crude speeches and tacky rallies. Even after elections had made the Nazis the largest party in the Reichstag, people still kept thinking that Hitler was an easy mark, a blustering idiot who could easily be controlled by smart people.
In Hitlerland, Andrew Nagorski discusses the American media’s early impressions of Hitler and the Third Reich:
Yet you had Americans meeting Hitler and saying, ‘This guy is a clown. He’s like a caricature of himself.’ And a lot of them went through this whole litany about how even if Hitler got into a position of power, other German politicians would somehow be able to control him. A lot of German politicians believed this themselves.
Surprisingly, German Jews also did not take Hitler seriously during his early years. In 1925, only a few German Jewish newspapers even bothered to review Mein Kampf. As Raphael Ahren wrote in The Times of Israel article “Why Jews Didn’t Blink an Eye When Mein Kampf First Came Out”:
When Mein Kampf came out for the first time, German Jews hardly noticed it. They certainly did not view it as a threat to their existence, or even as a harbinger of a changing political climate in the Fatherland.
Rahel Straus, a physician who grew up in Karlsruhe, Germany, and emigrated to Palestine in 1933, wrote in her memoirs:
We passed by the boxes of the Volkisher Beobachter (the official organ of the Nazi Party), read the incendiary articles and indignantly continued working. We didn’t realize that this Volkisher Beobachter was one of the most read newspapers in Germany at the time. We saw Hitler’s Mein Kampf on display in every bookstore; none of us bought it, none of us read it.
Slowly, that short man with the funny moustache and his leftist Nazi Party chiseled away at the Weimar Republic. The worldwide depression that started in October 1929 gave them a growing audience of supporters. By 1932, the Nazi Party had become the largest political party in the Reichstag (the German parliament).
One year later, on January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by the aging President Paul von Hindenburg. When the 86-year-old Hindenburg died on August 2, 1934, Hitler announced that the office of president and chancellor would merge under the title of Führer und Reichskanzler (leader and chancellor). Those who disagreed were free to discuss the matter at the end of a gun barrel or while laboring in Dachau.
Suddenly, sales of Mein Kampf rose to more than 1 million copies. In 1935, the Franz, Eher, Nacht publishing house suggested to Hitler that a special Mein Kampf version should be given to every newlywed couple on the day of their wedding.
The western world, still reeling from the horrors of World War I, watched what was happening in Germany and worried that another massive worldwide conflict was on the horizon. Meanwhile, Germany was ignoring the Treaty of Versailles while the Allies embraced appeasement.
After signing the Munich Agreement on September 30, 1938, between Great Britain and Germany, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain flew back to London believing he had prevented a second European war. When Chamberlain, whose name would become synonymous with appeasement, reached the prime minister’s residence at 10 Downing Street, he read a prepared statement:
My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time….
British Prime Minister Chamberlain and, to a lesser degree, President Franklin Roosevelt bent like pretzels to avoid a second colossal world war. In the meantime, Winston Churchill, who in 1935 had read the unedited English version of Mein Kampf, was repeatedly telling anyone who would listen that it would be better to stop Hitler now before he rebuilt Germany’s army and arsenal.
Few were listening to Churchill.
By May 10, 1940, when Churchill succeeded Chamberlain as prime minister, Mein Kampf had been in the public square for nearly 15 years and was a best seller in Germany and the occupied Nazi nations. Chamberlain’s years of appeasement had resulted in:
March 7, 1936: Germany invaded and remilitarized the Rhineland.
March 12-13, 1938: Germany annexed Austria (Anschluss).
March 15, 1939: Germany invaded the Czechoslovakia via the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia.
September 1, 1939: Germany invaded Poland.
September 3, 1939: Great Britain declared war on Germany.
Keep all this in mind when laughing at memes mocking intelligence-challenged politicians such as New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett, or New York’s Communist-Democrat mayoral candidate Zohan Mamdani.
Cheated for years breaking the law, but was willing to lie and put on a show about everything from Jan 6 to Melania’s underwear in the Mar-A-Lago raid. He’s been destestable for years.
Now, maybe justice will be served to the asshole of the week, Adam Schiff.
In a shocking new development, President Donald Trump’s longtime political adversary, Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), is facing criminal prosecution after a bombshell referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) over alleged mortgage fraud spanning years.
The FHFA has formally alerted the Department of Justice (DOJ) of the evidence, triggering an investigation into Schiff’s actions following a series of mortgage-related allegations.
Schiff, who was elected to the Senate in 2024 after years of serving as a House lawmaker, is under intense scrutiny after Trump announced the charges earlier this week.
It was revealed that between 2003 and 2019, Schiff may have falsified documents related to his Maryland-based property to secure more favorable loan terms.
The property in question is located in Potomac, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C.
According to the FHFA’s referral, Schiff allegedly manipulated bank documents and property records, a clear violation of federal housing rules.
The details of the case are particularly troubling.
The Trump administration just dealt another blow to the anti-energy, anti-prosperity agenda pursued by the Biden administration underpinned by the man-made “climate change” hypothesis. Under the proposed repeal of previous “climate” regulations on energy production announced this month, many of the power plants targeted for destruction could remain open, and CO2 would no longer be considered dangerous “pollution.” Naturally, that has the “climate” movement screaming bloody murder.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the effect of the so-called greenhouse gases coming from U.S. energy production using hydrocarbons (or “fossil fuels”) is so small as to be negligible. The agency also pointed out that the CO2 from power plants is not actually hurting people’s health, contrary to the demonstrably false claims of previous administrations. The latest announcement is part of a suite of two dozen “climate” decrees being eliminated by the administration.
Under the plan, coal and hydrocarbons could continue to provide power for U.S. consumers and businesses. “Rest assured President Trump is the biggest supporter of clean, beautiful coal,” EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced at the agency’s headquarters. “EPA is helping pave the way for American energy dominance because energy development underpins economic development, which in turn strengthens national security.”
The EPA regulatory changes, explained in a proposed rule released this month, would “repeal all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants,” the agency explained. “The EPA is further proposing to make a finding that GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution.”
Things are not going well for Karmelo Anthony compared to a couple months ago. Despite confessing to the stabbing that led to the death of athlete Austin Metcalf at a track event on April 2, 2025 in Frisco, Texas, Anthony was given greatly reduced bail and allowed to remain under house arrest by a progressive activist judge.
Anthony’s family posted a public fundraiser on GiveSendGo which ultimately raised over $500,000 for legal expenses. Many of the donations included racially charged messages calling for Karmelo to be “protected” regardless of his crime simply because he is black and his victim was white. The stabbing has been represented as an act of self defense, but also as “payback” against white people.
The call for donations was then amended to include money needed for “relocation” (a new home) after the family claimed they received threats. Karmelo was allowed by Texas courts to leave the state for an “undisclosed location” until his trial, a highly unusual accommodation. Furthermore, the Anthony’s have engaged in a press bonanza which has turned the case into a circus.
They bought houses, cars and bling, and the guy admitted he murdered the other student. This is like the leaders of BLM buying mansions instead of giving any money to help black people.
This woman has been everything nasty you can be, including looking. She’s been a nobody since Rush Limbaugh died, but yet here we are.
She never misses a chance to lie, or in this case, be the Asshole Of The Week
Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said Saturday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” that President Donald Trump was implementing mass deportation in an attempt to “bleach America.”
Wasserman Schultz said, “Again, more Trump lies, more people being thrown into a dire situation where many of them will ultimately die when they’re deported back to countries like Venezuela and Haiti, which clearly don’t have conditions in which it is safe or a place that has the environment to take people back. In Haiti, that is a country that is overrun by gangs and essentially is a failed state, and in Venezuela, you have the Maduro regime, which is a narco state. I mean, Maduro is under federal indictment here in the United States. How could it possibly be safe to send 500,000 Venezuelans when he revoked their humanitarian parole and TPS from Venezuelans and from half a million Haitians?”
She added, “This is a situation in which they want to bleach America. You heard what Miller said. He is a vile human being. What they’re doing in the Everglades on incredibly sensitive land, environmentally sensitive land that was so sensitive that in the 1970s, they abandoned the plan to put a huge airport on that property. They are violating sacred tribal lands—no consultation with the Miccosukees. We’re in the middle of hurricane season. Look at that infrastructure that you’re showing right now that will blow away like matchsticks if a hurricane comes, and they’re either going to waste money on trying to rush through an evacuation, or people are going to die.”
Delusions of Adequacy
