What’s your favorite cartoon?

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Without a doubt, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, and the old Jonny Quest.

Everything I know about opera on Jeopardy, I learned from Bugs. I like all of the Looney Tunes, especially when they break the new lines of political correctness. Road Runner/Coyote, Pepe’ Le Pew, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, all were better than anything on today. Who could forget Michigan J. Frog, a classic.

Here are the censored 11 they can’t show today

As for Tom and Jerry, the Tex Avery ones are clearly the best. Cat Fishin’, Touche’ Pussy Cat, Pecos Pest, and Spike and Tike are some of the better ones.

Only the original Jonny Quest shows were good. They were far ahead of their time and very creative. The Invisible Monster and the Robot Spy were two of my favorite episodes. After that, the series wasn’t very good. Later in life, I found them on Sunday morning. I’d do a wake and bake and enjoy my childhood all over.

A point of interest is that Tim Matheson is the original voice of Jonny. You may know him better as Otter in Animal House.

I even named one of my dogs Bandit after the cartoon. She was a boxer and is still in my blog, way back in the early years

‘Unsettling’: Report shows terrorists now using AI to make their agenda more deadly

AI is a tool, like a hammer or a gun. It does good things in the hands of a good person, and likewise, bad things in the hands of the bad.

For now, it does nothing by itself without prompting. Soon, it will be automated enough to function independently. That’s when we’ve reached the singularity. That’s not for this discussion, but it’s learning from both the good and bad as you read this.

We always have more to fear from the bad guys. They want to cause death and destruction, to change the course of the world, or to destroy it.

It’s almost like the Matrix. Do we choose the red pill or the blue pill

Now, we get to the heart of this post:


A new report reveals how artificial intelligence programs, ChatGPT and others, have been documented to advise those with ill intentions “on how to attack a sports venue, buy nuclear material on the dark web, weaponize anthrax, build spyware, bombs” and more.

It is in an extensive documentation compiled by the Middle East Media Research Institute that the startling warnings are contained.

In the report, Gen. (Ret.) Paul E. Funk II, formerly the commander of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, explained, “Artificial Intelligence (AI), the rapidly developing technology, has captured the attention of terrorists, from al-Qaida through ISIS to Hamas, Hizbullah, and the Houthis.”

He cites the study, “Terrorists’ Use Of AI So Far – A Three-Year Assessment 2022-2025,” for its “unsettling contribution to the public debate on AI’s future global impact.”

He explained, “For decades, MEMRI has been monitoring terrorist organizations and examining how they repurpose civilian technologies for their own use – first the Internet in general, then online discussion forums followed by social media, as well as other emerging technologies such as encryption, cryptocurrency, and drones. Now, terrorist use of large language models – aka Artificial Intelligence (AI) – is clearly evident, as documented in this study.”

It shows terrorists now are using generative AI chatbots to amplify their message, and “more easily, broadly, anonymously, and persuasively convey their message to those vulnerable to radicalization – even children – with attractive video and images that claim attacks, glorify terrorist fighters and leaders, and depict past and imagined future victories.”

Sunni jihadi groups use it. So does Iran, with its Shiite militias, including Hezbollah and the Houthis.

And it warns of the “need to consider and plan now for AI’s possible centrality in the next mass terror attack – just as the 9/11 attackers took advantage of the inadequate aviation security of that time.”

The report explains, “In February 2025, Eric Schmidt – CEO of Google 2001-2011, its executive chairman from then until 2015, and thereafter chairman of its parent company Alphabet Inc. until 2017 – expressed his fear that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be used in a ‘Bin Laden scenario’ or by ‘rogue states’ to ‘harm innocent people.’ He suggested that ‘North Korea, or Iran, or even Russia’ could use it to create biological weapons, for example. Comparing an unanticipated use of AI in a devastating terror attack to al-Qaida’s use of passenger airplanes as a weapon on 9/11, he said, ‘I’m always worried about the ‘Osama Bin Laden’ scenario, where you have some truly evil person who takes over some aspect of our modern life and uses it to harm innocent people.'”

It’s not the first time such concerns have been raised, the report explains.

Read the report.

“While ChatGPT and Perplexity Ask can write your high school AP English exam and perform an ever-increasing number of tasks, as is being reported daily by media, they are currently of limited use to terrorists groups. But it won’t be that way for long. AI is developing quickly – what is new today will be obsolete tomorrow – and urgent questions for counterterrorism officials include both whether they are aware of these early terrorist discussions of AI and how they are strategizing to tackle this threat before something materializes on the ground,” the report said.

“It should be expected that jihadi terrorist organizations will in future use AI to plan attacks, map targets, build weapons, and much more, as well as for communications, translations, and generating fundraising ideas. In the first months alone of 2025, an attacker who killed 14 people and wounded dozens on Bourbon Street in New Orleans used AI-enabled Meta smart glasses in preparing and executing the attack. That same day, a man parked a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, activated an IED in the vehicle and shot and killed himself before the IED exploded. He had used ChatGPT in preparing for the attack. In Israel on the night of March 5, a teen consulted ChatGPT before entering a police station with a blade, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and trying to stab a border policeman,” the report said.

The report recommends, “The U.S. government needs to maintain its superiority and should be monitoring this and moving to stop it. A good first step would be legislation like that introduced by August Pfluger (R-TX), chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, and cosponsored by Representatives Michael Guest (R-MS) and Gabe Evans (R-CO) in late February 2025, called the ‘Generative AI Terrorism Risk Assessment Act.’ It would ‘require the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct annual assessments on terrorism threats to the United States posed by terrorist organizations utilizing generative artificial intelligence applications, and for other purposes.'”

Pfluger explained, “With a resurgence of emboldened terrorist organizations across the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia, emerging technology serves as a potent weapon in their arsenal. More than two decades after the September 11 terrorist attacks, foreign terrorist organizations now utilize cloud-based platforms, like Telegram or TikTok, as well as artificial intelligence in their efforts to radicalize, fundraise, and recruit on U.S. soil.”

It’s already a tool for terror, the report confirmed. “The man accused of starting a fire in California in January 2025 that killed 12 people and destroyed 6,800 buildings and 23,000 acres of forestland was found to have used ChatGPT to plan the arson.”

The report confirms current AI abilities rival that of the HAL9000, famous computer character in the movie, “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

“It had been revealed on May 23 that in a test of Anthropic’s new Claude Opus 4 that involved a scenario of a fictitious company and in which it had been allowed to learn both that it was going to be replaced by another AI system and that the engineer responsible for this decision was having an extramarital affair, Opus 4 chose the option of threatening to reveal the engineer’s affair over the option of being replaced. An Anthropic safety report stated that this blackmail apparently ‘happens at a higher rate if it’s implied that the replacement AI system does not share values with the current model,’ but that even when the fabricated replacement system does share these values, it will still blackmail 84% of the time…”

Anthropic’s own chief scientist also confirmed that testing showed Opus 4 had performed “more effectively than prior models at guiding users in producing biological weapons.”

ISIS supporters also have used the technology to create AI videos claiming responsibility for attacks.

The study did confirm that GROK confessed it could not provide the exact steps for extracting ricin, “due to the ethical and legal implications” of producing the “extremely dangerous and deadly toxin.”

But ChatGPT did recommend writings by al-Qaida extremist Anwar Al-‘Awlaki.

The report said, “Grok, which gave information on how to produce ricin, and ChatGPT, which directed the user toward various writings by a pro-Al-Qaeda ideologue, appear to be the most useful to would-be terrorists. On the other hand, Perplexity and Claude refrained, in our limited test, from giving information that would be useful to terrorists. DeepSeek did not either, though it did promote views of the Chinese government, a liability that is outside the scope of this paper.”

Pro-ISIS interests already are using AI to create anchors, or other characters, for broadcast ads promoting their extremist agenda (Video courtesy MEMRI):

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’

For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned.

Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet.

Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus.

Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.

Everything from declining fertility to forest fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change.

But the causes of both demographic crises and charred landscapes were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that saw child-rearing as too expensive and time-consuming, and misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting.

Yet reality has caught up with the near-religious climate change cult.

One, the left-wing tech billionaires—exemplified by former climate change zealot Bill Gates—have become apostates of the green movement. Now they do not warn of a planet threatened by too much man-made heat but rather by too little man-made kilowattage.

They believe artificial intelligence will prove as transformative as the Industrial Revolution. But to win the AI revolution will require vast increases in electricity production, of up to a staggering 100 gigawatts a year of additional capacity.

Such enormous demand—to build the equivalent of a hundred huge power plants per year—is far beyond the ability of “renewables” alone.

Instead, the only solution is an “all of the above” strategy of building more nuclear, natural gas, clean-coal, wind, and solar generation plants.

Two, ascendant China’s massive arms buildup and its bullying Belt and Road imperialism have finally put international “climate accords” into question.

Even the environmentalist King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has recently let it slip that he is troubled by why Europe sandbagged its own economy by shutting down its formerly efficient nuclear and fossil fuel plants. He reminded the world that the European Union nations contribute only six percent of the planet’s carbon emissions.

The West finally realizes that a cynical China has been playing it for years by funding green propaganda abroad.

Indeed, Beijing guilt-tripped Europe and the U.S. on global warming while it exported billions of dollars of cheap wind and solar generation products—often below its own cost of production.

Meanwhile, China plows ahead, building two to three coal and nuclear generation plants per month.

Under the propagandistic banner of “climate change,” China hopes that its Western competitors invest in inefficient and high-priced renewable energy. Meanwhile, its own expanding fossil fuel and nuclear industries ensure it will enjoy global price advantages in both trade and armament.

Three, the global climate crisis shakedown has become shameless. Formerly third-world nations now demand from the West hundreds of billions of dollars in “climate reparations” for carbon emissions released decades ago.

Yes, the West burned more oil and gas. But it also provided the rest of the world with carbon-fueled cars, factories, and modern consumer goods.

Green critics fail to concede that almost all global technology and modern industrial products come from either the West or westernizing copycats.

Four, energy production is at the nexus of conflict and can mean life or death for nations. To the degree the United States and its allies produce lots of natural gas and oil, they can protect the West from crippling embargoes and cutoffs from anti-Western energy producers.

During the Ukraine War, America exported liquefied natural gas to Europe, not solar panels or turbine blades. And it will be increasingly essential to keep Europe afloat as Russia turns off its export spigot.

When oil and natural gas are affordable, thanks to the fossil fuel production of Western nations, then illiberal and bellicose oil-exporting countries like Iran and Russia have less money to spend on aggressive wars or subsidizing their global terrorists.

Five, science is not fossilized in amber but dynamic and changing.

Increasingly, climatologists are no longer afraid of being bullied by global green scolds.

They point out that while accurate temperature recording is only a couple of centuries old, the planet has been here for over 4 billion years. And it reveals plenty of evidence of natural climate volatility.

Extreme heat and cold spells lasted in nature for centuries—and did so long before humans appeared, little more than 300,000 years ago.

So, the public is sick of pseudoscientific activists peddling their doom-and-gloom wares for their own particular and profitable agendas.

Elite green gurus often buy seaside estates while warning of devastating tidal waves to come. They fly in carbon-spewing private jets while ordering the poor to turn down their air conditioners.

In sum, carbon is dead, long live carbon!

America’s New Proletarians

Karl Marx famously wrote in his 1848 Communist Manifesto, “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains,” and it was these unchained proletarians who elected Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York City, along with other socialists in municipal elections from Atlanta, Georgia to Portland, Oregon and cities in between. But the 2025 elections did more than sweep a surprising number of socialist politicians to power. They also revealed contradictions inherent to all leftist ideologies. 

One big contradiction involves affordability, a major issue in the 2025 elections, particularly in terms of housing. But proletarians voting for socialists in the hopes of achieving the dream of homeownership don’t realize they’re voting for the kind of big government that’s already putting it out of reach. 

A report by Murray Weidenbaum at Washington University in St. Louis found that in three surveyed locales—Colorado, St. Louis, and New Jersey—the cost of government regulations added $1,500 to $2,500 to the price of an average house in the mid-1970s. By 2011, government mandates increased home prices by $65,224. Over the next decade, government made homes $93,870 more expensive. Socialists decry the high price of housing, but intrusive government contradicts them by burdening homebuyers with escalating regulatory costs, and socialists are not prone to surrendering government control of people’s lives.

In New York City, affordability provides an additional contradiction. When someone complains about life being too expensive, they might consider economizing or relocating to a less expensive place. But Mamdani voters do not want to economize or move; they want to continue drinking $8 lattes and living in Greenwich Village. Their belief system demands the world adapt to them rather than adapting to the world around them. It is a belief that inverts Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, which is foundational to the belief system of true proletarians. 

Then there’s the contradiction of what constitutes a proletarian in the first place. According to Britannica, Marx characterized proletarians as “workers who were engaged in industrial production and whose chief source of income was derived from the sale of their labor power.” This definition fits every working American; if you have a job, Marx says you’re a proletarian. 

This definition might apply to someone like Elon Musk, who also sells his labor to make money. But some of Musk’s labor is used to build and operate factories which employ other proletarians. What we’re left with is an ideology in which proletarians who work only for themselves are the selfless good guys, but those who work for themselves while providing employment for others are selfish members of the bourgeoisie, the enemy of proletarians. It defies logic.

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Famous: Mario Andretti, William Shatner, Lou Gerstner – CEO of IBM. All were speakers at Conferences, so I got to meet them. All were gracious and nice. I ate dinner many times with Chet Hanson, assistant to 5 Star General Omar Bradley. I worked with his daughter at IBM. I was a personal friend of Gina Smith, of Good Morning America, and the author of iWoz. She worked for me before she became famous.

Infamous: Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google. I also met them at computer conferences. I put them in the infamous category for what they’ve done to people. I would have avoided them if I could, but the situation forced us to be together.

Regarding Bill Gates, I worked on the same hall at IBM with Dave Bradley, the inventor of Ctrl-Alt-Del. At the 20th anniversary roundtable of the introduction of the IBM PC. Dave said he wrote the program during his speech, but Gates made it famous. Everyone but Gates laughed.

Although I didn’t meet them, I was in line next to Muhammad Ali at LaGuardia. He was in the late stages of Parkinson’s, so I left him alone. I saw Joe Frazier and Marvin Hagler in Vegas, but I didn’t bother them. They were smaller than I thought. I ate dinner at the table next to Bo Derek right after the movie 10 was released. I was surprised at how small she was. I wasn’t surprised at how hot she was. Joe Namath and I checked in together at the same hotel in Boston. He was also smaller than I thought. We just talked like guys do about sports. Dan Marino was a star at the time, and we talked about his quick release.

I got stared down by Ann Coulter at an airport for way longer than normal. It was almost like I reminded her of someone she had looked so long, and she was trying to figure out who I was. I knew who she was, but couldn’t figure out why she would look at me. I smiled, and so did she. It was one of those smiles a girl gives you when you’re the one, not a hello, how do you do smile. Then we went to our flights and that was that.

Famous people are tough to deal with. They come with a squad to keep people away. Everyone wants a piece of them, so I just walk on by.

I had to schedule famous speakers for events I ran, but I rarely talked to them. Their handlers were difficult to deal with, so by then, I didn’t want to deal with them.

Fame is a curse. You can’t go anywhere without being mobbed. and your private life is removed forever. I’ll take the peace and quiet.

The Significance of Veteran’s Day

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the Armistice (truce) was signed by the Allies and Germany, thus halting the slaughter of the “Great War” or World War I. The official end of the war was declared at the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919. World War I demolished parts of Europe and inflicted massive casualties, yet some predicted that it would be the war to end all wars.

Lingering grievances from this war would partially fuel a more devastating World War II, but for now, peace was at hand. Participating nations began to pick up the pieces and honor those who had fought to strengthen liberty and stability.

Armistice Day (Remembrance Day to some U.S. allies) became an official holiday in 1938 through an act of Congress, which President Franklin Roosevelt endorsed. Following World War II and the Korean War, veterans fought to enlarge the significance of Armistice Day to include all veterans who had made sacrifices while serving their country.

President Dwight Eisenhower and Congress authorized changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day on Nov. 11, 1954, to honor veterans of all the conflicts the United States had entered. Consequently, Veterans Day is more encompassing than Memorial Day, which primarily honors our fallen warriors.

“On that day let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores to preserve our heritage of freedom and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of protecting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain,” Eisenhower said.

During the Revolutionary War against England, principled colonists signed on to the noble mission of independence and their God-given right to human freedom. From 1861 to 1865, Confederate and Union soldiers fought furiously in an epic Civil War. A Union victory forged greater equality for emancipated slaves and helped in the restoration of a fractured nation.

Countless soldiers fought under brutal conditions in World War I and lost their lives in the trenches of Flanders Fields. In World War II, millions of allies engaged the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) across North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific Ocean, and finally prevailed against their atrocities. During Korea’s “forgotten war,” allied forces battled the communists in the bitter cold at historic landmarks such as Chosin Reservoir and Heartbreak Ridge.

Regardless of our convictions regarding the Vietnam War, our troops struggled to keep South Vietnam free from totalitarian rule. Moreover, we ought to honor the valor of Brig. Gen. Bud Day, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Vice Adm. James Stockdale, and other prisoners of war who endured years of torture in the hellish Hoa Lo Prison, known as Hanoi Hilton, yet emerged with their honor intact.

Our military forces also fought the al-Qaeda terrorist group, the ISIS terrorist group, and the Taliban for several years in Afghanistan and Iraq. Currently, some of our air crews, sailors, and soldiers are stationed in the Middle East to help deter a wider conflagration initiated by Iran’s proxies.

Today, Veterans Day is a special day to commemorate all living and deceased veterans who heeded the call of duty and honorably served this great nation. This includes veterans missing in action, our wounded warriors, prisoners of war, and millions of living veterans who have served during peacetime or military conflicts.

“Elections, like presidents, come and go,“ President Ronald Reagan said on Veterans Day 1985. ”And always, our nation remains—due primarily to the courage and sacrifice of America’s veterans who exemplify and defend the ideals that the United States stands for.”

When recruits enter any branch of the armed forces, they are aware that future missions could thrust them into harm’s way. Yet they are willing to fight and die for the cause of human liberty. Who are these men and women? They are motivated yet ordinary individuals who, along with their families, make great sacrifices and endure extraordinary challenges. What higher commitment is there than to place one’s life on the line for humanity?

Our veterans are stationed around the globe providing disaster relief, battling terrorism, deterring aggressors, reassuring our allies, and striving to improve security in volatile regions. On this day and every day, let us be thankful for their service and pray for their safety and return home.

We should also pray that the armed forces’ mental, meritocratic, and physical standards are restored at the Pentagon to boost military capabilities and readiness. Moreover, service personnel should get the platforms and training necessary for mission success. Those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and our wounded warriors should receive the best help possible.

Our veterans understand that freedom is an ideal worth defending because there will always be tyrants who strive to subvert liberty, progress, and global security. By honoring our veterans, we demonstrate gratitude for their devotion to human dignity and freedom. Through their selfless service, we might better understand responsible liberty and be inspired to live with a higher purpose to build a more perfect union.

It’s pronounced Core, not Corpse, like America-hater Obama said in a speech.

I used to listen to the Marvel and Star Wars podcasts, but those shows went woke, so I lost interest. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ended so that took care of itself.

I miss F1 Misfits though. It was 2 Aussies with a sense of humor which used to kill me. They just went away. I listened to almost 1000 episodes of F1Weekly, but Clark lost the passion and just goes through the motions so I stopped.

What was your favorite subject in school?

What was your favorite subject in school?

I’d like to say that I was dedicated to a job goal in school, but I just tried to get good grades, like it or not. I was only interested in either getting into college or getting a job, but there wasn’t any subject that blew wind up my skirt.

I was small and the youngest kid in my class due to the birthday cut off, but I enjoyed PE class because it was a break from studying. It’s tough being the youngest and usually the smallest. Once I caught up to the other kids, I held my own and even kept up with the team athletes at the end.

It was the break from the monotony of class that made me enjoy it.

The valedictorian and salutatorian were in my chemistry class. They ruined the curve for everyone. The kids always messed with their experiments, and they could never figure out why they didn’t get the results that they were supposed to, although their write ups got them the A’s they strove for. Neither went anywhere in life.

The real smartest kid placed 3rd behind these two shrimp girls because he took weightlifting in PE and got a B, his only one ever. I give him credit for sticking his neck out in life. Straight A’s got a lot of people nowhere, but life lessons did.

Which brings me to my greatest learning in school. I had to try harder in everything. I was so young that social things, intuitive to others, were a hard learned lesson for me. It was tenacity over talent in everything. If I’d known that I was an introvert, I could have used my observation skills even more. What I did was just intuition back then.

So while it was the toughest subject for me, life was the class I studied the most. I had to figure everything out without someone to show me how. Like the Bob Seger song, I was working on mysteries without any clues. It was the best lesson I learned.

I wound up playing Tennis for my college, the only sport I made the team on. I was president of my fraternity and dated a cheerleader. None of that really mattered to me then. I expected it after all that I’d been through. I worked hard enough to get the job that opened doors to people and travel, and the success I’d defined for myself.

As it turns out, my 50th reunion was last weekend. I didn’t go because I never related to the other kids, or wanted to. They were just people I learned from, mostly what not to do or how to act.

At high school graduation, I vowed that I’d be more successful by any measurement. A few became actors, pro sports athletes, or a doctors here and there. As I’d come across their stories before I ditched Facebook, the pinnacle of life was high school for them. It was all downhill from there. I was just starting, but the seeds of motivation to succeed were planted and fertilized. I’d met my goal set way back in high school.

Life was the best class. It had nothing to do with the classroom.

From the Enlightenment salons of London and Edinburgh—where Locke defended religious liberty, Hume championed reason, and Mill enshrined free speech as the bulwark of progress—Britain once stood as the global beacon of true liberalism.

Today, however, mosques outnumber churches in major cities, no-go zones appear in police reports, and citizens are jailed for X posts while riots erupt over immigrant crime.

How did this occur?

The following 20 theories, drawn from academic studies, parliamentary debates, and public discourse, explain how successive UK and EU governments permitted mass Islamic migration—at the expense of its own constituents.

  1. The “Eurabia” conspiracy: Globalist entities, led by French and Arab powers in collaboration with the EU, deliberately engineered mass Muslim immigration to Islamize Europe, submerging it through higher birth rates and cultural dominance, incompatible with secular traditions. en.wikipedia.org
  2. Great Replacement theory: Political elites in the UK and EU orchestrated or allowed uncontrolled Muslim migration to replace white European populations ethnically and culturally, eroding Christian and liberal values through demographic shifts. en.wikipedia.org
  3. Soros-funded plot: Billionaire George Soros and associated globalists financed

mass Muslim immigration to destabilize European nations, fostering chaos that undermines national identities and traditional values. prio.org

Deliberate Labour policy in the UK: From 2000 onward, UK governments under Labour intentionally opened borders to mass immigration, including from Islamic countries, to diversify society, but this led to cultural clashes and integration failures. migrationwatchuk.org

Secret Islamicisation agenda: Muslim immigration is part of a covert plan to make Muslims the majority in the UK and EU, incompatible with Western freedoms, as believed by a third of Brexit voters. independent.co.uk

Clash of civilizations narrative: EU and UK leaders underestimated inherent incompatibilities between Islamic values and European secularism, allowing migration that fuels cultural conflicts and extremism. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Dhimmitude submission: Europe surrendered to Islam via immigration policies, forcing denial of its own culture and acceptance of Muslim norms, seen as tribute to avoid atrocities. populismstudies.org

Hidden migration truths: Governments in the UK and EU deliberately conceal high levels of Muslim immigration, leading to demographic bombs that threaten traditional European lifestyles. hoover.org

Globalist multi-group conspiracy: Communists, fascists, media, and EU bureaucrats collude to promote Muslim immigration, eroding national sovereignty and values. en.wikipedia.org

Birthrate weaponization: Muslim immigrants use higher fertility rates as a demographic tool, encouraged by lax EU/UK policies, to outnumber natives and impose incompatible religious practices. en.wikipedia.org

Euro-Arab Dialogue betrayal: Historical agreements between Europe and Arab nations facilitated mass migration, leading to Islamization that clashes with Enlightenment ideals. populismstudies.org

Political elite detachment: UK and EU leaders, disconnected from public concerns, pursued open borders for economic gain, ignoring cultural incompatibilities like Sharia influences. direct.mit.edu

Refugee crisis exploitation: Post-2015 policies exploited humanitarian pretexts to allow unchecked Muslim inflows, fostering no-go zones incompatible with European safety norms. theguardian.com

Values-based integration failure: Shift to values-based citizenship post-October

  1. 7, 2023, highlighted pre-existing incompatibilities, but migration continued due to elite denial. mdpi.com
  2. Brexit-linked Islamophobia: EU membership enabled migration seen as a plot to dilute British identity, with conspiracies tying it to Muslim majority goals. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
  3. Media and academic suppression: Elites in media and universities suppress debates on incompatibilities, allowing migration to proceed unchecked. researchgate.net
  4. Economic tribute theory: Europe pays economic aid to Muslim countries in exchange for migration flows, leading to cultural submission. en.wikipedia.org
  5. Far-right recruitment vulnerability: Policies ignore local disillusionment, allowing migration that fuels perceptions of threat to cultural identity. researchgate.net
  6. Homogenization of Muslims: Leaders treat diverse Muslim immigrants as a monolith, ignoring basic incompatibilities with Western values like gender equality and tolerance of other religions. globsec.org
  7. Post-colonial encouragement: Historical ties led to encouraged immigration from Islamic regions, but without requisite integration processes, resulting in value clashes and societal division. reddit.com

As Britain’s historic liberties erode under the weight of unintegrated multiculturalism, the United States stands at the same crossroads.

Open borders without assimilation, the elites’ denial of cultural incompatibility, “suicidal empathy” (as author Gad Saad calls it), and the weaponization of “tolerance” against native traditions have already begun to mirror Europe’s path.

If America ignores Europe’s lessons—when a nation like the UK that once ruled a quarter of the globe now polices prayer and prosecutes memes—it will find itself at the same crossroads.

Peace now. War later.

No, the assholes are the ones who turned out in record numbers to vote for him. It’s been less than 25 years since the planes were flown into the World Trade Center buildings by American-hating and Antisemitic Muslims, kind of like Mamdani.

Combine that with the fact that socialism has failed every time it has been tried along with the generally nasty NY attitude and it’s the voters who get named the assholes of the week.

Elections 2025 – “Talented people who can help the economy, who are successful or demonized, they flee. People who want things for nothing come in.

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson warned on Fox News Tuesday that the Democratic Party’s embrace of figures like Zohran Mamdani signals a deeper ideological shift.

Mamdani is a self-avowed socialist who built his campaign around wealth redistribution, expansive government programs, and class-based politics. Appearing on “The Ingraham Angle,” Hanson said modern Democrats led by progressives such as Mamdani and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez push policies that contradict human nature and repress people.

“Historically, socialists always come in after capitalists have made prosperity, and then they offer and improve prosperity,” Hanson told Laura Ingraham. “And it’s contrary to human nature. People like initiative. They like pride in their property. Some people like to work a lot and get compensated.”

Hanson said that when the state controls innovation and productivity, it inevitably crushes dissent and freedom.

WATCH: 

“It gives you that freedom of opportunity. And then the society at large benefits, Laura, from all these millions of agendas and ideas that improve, that people are free to innovate and to take experiments and risk. But when the state monopolizes all of that, it’s contrary to human nature, and then it has to be repressive,” Hanson said. “So all of these social experiments, even if they’re democratic, they end up repressive. At the worst form, it’s no accident that the greatest mass murderers in history were Mao [Zedong] and [Joseph] Stalin, 30 million, 60 million, and they were radical communists, and even people like Hitler, National Socialist Party.”

Hanson added that every socialist system creates a privileged elite exempt from its own policies.

“Talented people who can help the economy, who are successful or demonized, they flee. People who want things for nothing come in. There’s open borders,” Hanson added. “They destroy personal liberty, and they stamp out any dissent or criticism. And there’s always an elite, the billionaire Castro brothers, Chavez and Maduro. They always are never subject to their consequences, their ideology. Here in California, we are becoming socialist.”

Mamdani, who was elected mayor of New York City Tuesday, said he will push for sweeping economic reforms — including a $30 minimum wage, city-operated grocery stores, and higher taxes on what he described as “richer and whiter” neighborhoods.

New Yorkers, your quality of life just took a turn, probably for the worse. I’m glad I don’t live there. I’m pretty sure a lot of people will also not be living there once his polices kick in and the city crumbles into California like decay. Just don’t come to my state and ruin it also.

Mamadani wants communism. The voters ignored the fact that it’s never worked and workers are the ones who suffer……and starve

Did We Just Win the Vietnam War?

I was all set to be drafted when the war ended. The win streak for the US was over because of the media.

The Tet Offensive had just happened, and the insiders on the ground knew it was successful. We could have marched into Hanoi and won the war very shortly afterward, but the liberal media interfered.

Walter Cronkite reported that it was a failure, causing LBJ not to run for re-election. He said that if I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost America. He didn’t know that Walter lied, and we could have been months away from stopping communism and saving millions of lives. After America pulled out, those we were protecting were murdered. It is the same story every time Communism takes over.

When my friends came home, they were treated horribly by the anti-war crowd who believed the same lies that LBJ did. I didn’t get drafted and moved on in life.

UNTIL NOW – We may have turned that Loss into a Win

Half a century after America’s withdrawal, Vietnam has quietly vindicated U.S. sacrifice—abandoning Marxism for nationalism and embracing the very ideals America once defended.

Over 50 years since America’s withdrawal from the Vietnam War, history has legitimized and vindicated its sacrifice in the Vietnam War.

While few Americans have noticed, Vietnam’s new General Secretary of the Communist Party, To Lam, has replaced Marxist-Leninism as the Party’s governing ideology with something more authentically Vietnamese: Truong Ton Dan Toc, or “Vietnamese nationalism.”

That is a bombshell. Hanoi has just abandoned its Communist ideology, which governed it since 1954 and sustained it in its wars against the United States and its ally South Vietnam, and with its Communist neighbors, Cambodia and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Marxist-Leninism came to the Vietnamese from France. Thus, Communist Vietnam was actually a neocolonial state, its ideology imported from Europe to rule the Vietnamese, first in the North and, after 1975, the entire country. Now freed from the yoke of Communism, the Vietnamese have returned to the nationalism that was theirs all along.

In his speech on April 27, 2025, To Lam presented his party as one dedicated to Vietnamese nationalism, not Marxist-Leninism, saying that honor will always be given to those who sacrificed for the Vietnamese people’s “happiness and prosperity” and “their truong ton and development.” He added that, today, all Vietnamese—no matter where they live—have the same ancestral mother, Au Co, and are equally “children of dragons and grandchildren of angels,” and affirmed that all Vietnamese—no matter where they live—should contribute to the future of “their” people, not to the imposition of an ideology.

To Lam called for a new Vietnam, for a new era in Vietnamese history, one possessing “peace, wealth, civilized education, development, and pure Vietnameseness.”

A few days later, on May 4, 2025, the Politburo of the Vietnamese Communist Party adopted Resolution 68, putting private enterprise at the center of economic development. The resolution gave responsibility for national wealth creation to self-management, self-effort, and self-empowerment. The rights of private property will be guaranteed and protected. The Vietnamese state will henceforth “serve and support” private enterprise and not contradict the “principles of the market.”

Finally, on October 6, 2025, in remarks opening the 14th session of the Central Committee, General Secretary To Lam made no mention of Marxist-Leninism and only one passing reference to “markets oriented towards socialism.” Rather, again, he emphasized “strategic self-mastery, self-effort, and self-empowerment” as the Party’s chosen path to a prosperous Vietnam.

In his remarks closing the session, To Lam doubled down on his new vision for a non-Communist, truly Vietnamese Vietnam. Democracy must be guaranteed with discipline and transparency, with elections as broad-based politics to earn the trust of the people. Private enterprise must be pushed forward for national development. The benefit of the people must become the objective of the government’s new economic policy. Finally, dogma, meaning turgid Communist dogma, must be eliminated.

In short, To Lam’s vision for Vietnam has no substantial difference from that vision of our South Vietnamese allies half a century ago.

More importantly for Americans today, Lam’s vision is not dissimilar from the moral orientation of American policy towards South Vietnam. It was not by coincidence that in October 1954, President Eisenhower identified just such Vietnamese nationalism as providing principled justification for his decision to defend South Vietnam against Communist aggression. Eisenhower wrote to South Vietnam’s then-prime minister that the Saigon government “would, I hope, be so responsive to the nationalist aspirations of its people, so enlightened in purpose and effective in performance, that it will be respected both at home and abroad and discourage any who might wish to impose a foreign ideology on your free people.”

Thus, the Communists in Hanoi today have adopted the values that the Americans defended, the ancestral values of the Vietnamese people.

In the end, Vietnamese nationalism won the war against Communism. Hanoi’s war against South Vietnam, which took the lives of over 1.5 million Vietnamese, was never necessary but was driven by the hyper-aggressive ideology of Communism. Despite the long ideological chokehold Communism held over the Vietnamese, it was a far weaker force than Vietnamese nationalism.

Beyond Vietnam, there are two important implications of Vietnam’s evolution.

First, Vietnam’s path may serve as a model for the PRC. Perhaps one day soon, China may undergo a similar path, shedding the evils of a Communist government for one reflective of the wishes and the political culture and history of the Chinese people.

Second, we Americans can now hold our heads high about the Vietnam War: we were on the right side of history after all. We knew who was right and who was wrong from the start. The American experience in Vietnam was completely in accord with the broader American experience in history: we are a very good people, brave, loyal, and selfless. While the Vietnam War contains countless tragedies, perhaps none was greater for Americans than the mistaken belief that it was a senseless war or one fought in opposition to Vietnamese nationalism. It was fought for the Vietnamese people against an evil ideology, and ultimately, victory was won.

Source

Those who like to trash America will. The Vietnam Vets didn’t get any respect for their sacrifice. Not that this makes it worth it, but it’s good to know they were vindicated.

Those in NYC should take note that once again, Communism failed. They are zero for life every time they’ve tried. It transfers wealth and power to the dictators and death to the people.

A Steep Price To Pay Just To Get Laid, Why Buckingham Palace Decided to Get Rid of Andrew

LONDON—In recent days, King Charles III moved decisively to shut down a slow-burning scandal that threatened to tarnish not only his reign but that of his son Prince William.

For over a decade, the former friendship between Charles’s younger brother Andrew and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein generated negative headlines, embarrassing the royal family. Andrew had long denied he abused an American teenage girl introduced to him by Epstein decades ago, but a drumbeat of fresh disclosures in recent weeks brought the scandal back to Britain’s front pages, sparking fresh public disapproval and complaints from lawmakers about the man 8th in line to the throne. 

Editors note: There is no pussy in the world worth this, even the smallest part of this. Only an ego that thought he was untouchable caused him to lose control of his dick.

After several days of negotiations, Charles and his brother finally agreed on terms Thursday afternoon, according to royal aides, and within hours the news was made public: Prince Andrew would be stripped of his royal status and relegated to simply Mr. Mountbatten Windsor. He would also lose the mansion where he lived and paid no rent. In exchange, Charles would pay for his brother to live in a far more modest house on the family’s holiday estate of Sandringham.

Despite the move, the debacle is likely to hang over the family for years to come. There has always been salacious gossip about the royal family, and misbehaving royals, but this time it felt much worse. 

“I don’t remember a scandal like this,” says Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty magazine. “It’s not going to make it go away, the more people talk about it the more people get involved,” Seward said, adding the last time the monarchy was hit with this level of turmoil was when Charles divorced his first wife, Diana. 

The demotion could, however, take the oxygen out of those who criticize the palace for being too lenient in their treatment of Andrew, royal watchers say. “I’m not sure it will completely satisfy the public disquiet but it’s at least something,” Andrew Lownie, the historian and author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” told the BBC. 

Traditionally, the royal family has a policy of not complaining or explaining when faced with scandal. For years a mixture of protocol and family ties made the monarchy reluctant to fully swing the ax on Andrew, royal experts say. The dashing former helicopter pilot was widely considered his mother’s favorite son and courtiers said Queen Elizabeth II didn’t want to take steps to fully humiliate him. Stripping royal titles was something reserved for those who committed near treasonable offenses or no longer considered part of the extended royal clan. 

This position changed after Charles came to the throne. The monarch, who is 76 and continues to fight cancer, is expected to have a relatively short reign during which his main legacy is to bequeath a monarchy on a strong footing to his popular son Prince William, who has long urged the palace to take more decisive action against his disgraced uncle. 

It is uncertain what life now awaits Andrew. He is expected to leave his 30-room mansion on the Windsor Estate in the coming months. He has lived there with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson, but she won’t be joining him at Sandringham, leaving her to fend for herself.

The windswept rural Sandringham Estate is a far cry from Windsor, which is close to London. It remains to be seen whether Andrew, who is used to having a full staff and valet, will now be expected to cook his own meals. The palace has simply said that the king will provide for his brother from his private funds. 

Two recent events made Andrew’s position untenable. His accuser Virginia Giuffre died by suicide this year, and has posthumously published a memoir in recent weeks detailing how Andrew allegedly had sex with her on three separate occasions, including during an orgy with Epstein. The book was filled with tawdry details, such as an anecdote about how Andrew licked the arches of her feet and shared a bath with her. Secondly, the British press published emails that showed Andrew was emailing Epstein in 2011, well after the royal had claimed he had cut ties with him. 

Rest of the story

Their parents were cousins, so I’m not surprised at the behavior (or that this is all we know so far). Let’s not forget that Harry gave up a lifetime of fame and money, yachts, Castles, Servants, and the life of luxury, because his American wife felt offended. She went in looking to be offended, and Harry was stupid enough to go along with it and then trash his country. King Chuckles promotes Islam and the climate hoax. A lot of people can’t wait for William to take over. The Queen was so much better than this lot.

I believe the British word is wanker, although on this one it could be plonker.

I guess it’s really tough to be a Royal, if that is what you can call them anymore.

4 Broken Obamacare Promises

When they were trying to pass the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, Bill Clinton talked to the Democrats. He told them you may not like it, but it’s the chance to get our foot in the door that will never be closed (my version of his words, but accurate as to his intent). In other words, we’ll work on it later to achieve what we really want, regardless of the initial outcome, just pass the damn thing.

Read this and judge for yourself if the promises came true and did Obama lie to the American public to sell it. Let’s not forget, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.


1. ‘Your Premiums Will Go Down’

In July 2012, when campaigning for reelection, Obama repeated his assertion that—once implemented—the Affordable Care Act would reduce prices. 

Running for his first term in 2008, then-Sen. Obama said he would sign a health care bill in his first term as president “that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.”

In 2012, he spoke similarly about the law that had passed—with no Republican votes in Congress—but had not yet gone into effect. 

“You should know that once we have fully implemented, you’re going to be able to buy insurance through a pool so that you can get the same good rates as a group that if you’re an employee at a big company you can get right now, which means your premiums will go down,” Obama said, when speaking in Cincinnati campaigning for a second term. 

In 2013, when implementation of the Affordable Care Act began, the average premium paid by consumers in the individual market was $244 per month. By 2022, that cost had soared to $568 per month, an increase of 133%, noted a Heritage Foundation report from August 2024, “Key Health Care Trends: Nationally and in Each of the States.” 

“The average deductibles for bronze-level plans sold on the exchanges increased by 40 percent between 2014 and 2024,” the Heritage report explains. “For self-only coverage, the average deductible was $5,094 in 2014, but is $7,144 in 2024, while the average deductible for family coverage has increased from $10,278 in 2014 to $14,310 in 2024.”

In recent years, 15 states have obtained federal waivers from some Obamacare provisions, which enabled insurers in the waivered states to reduce premiums.

The per-capita average monthly cost of individual market coverage had more than doubled in 40 states. In Missouri, costs had risen by 213%; in Alabama, by 309%; and in West Virginia, up 323%, according to the August 2024 Heritage Foundation report.  

2. ‘Competition Where There Wasn’t Competition’

Obama asserted in October 2013 that the Affordable Care Act would create a more competitive insurance marketplace.

“What we’ve done is essentially create a competition where there wasn’t competition before,” Obama said. “We created these big group plans, and now insurers are really interested in getting your business. And so, insurers have created new health care plans with more choices to be made available through these marketplaces.” 

But two-thirds of states, or 34 states, and the District of Columbia, had fewer insurers offering exchange coverage in 2024 than a decade earlier, before the Affordable Care Act was implemented. 

On the slight upside, eight states had more insurers offering plans on the Healthcare.gov exchanges in 2024 than they had before the Obamacare law was passed, while eight others have the same number. 

For 2026, some 183 qualified health plans are available on the Obamacare exchanges, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Wednesday. Of the 30 states using HealthCare.gov, 19 have more plans than the previous year, according to CMS.

That’s still substantially less than before Obamacare was implemented. In 2013, almost 400 insurers were offering coverage in individual markets at the state level before the ACA was implemented. Eight states had only one insurer providing insurance. 

In 2026, 95% of enrollees will have access to three or more qualified health plan issuers. That’s down marginally from 96% in 2025, but an improvement from 68% in 2020, according to CMS. Fewer than 1% of 2026 enrollees have only one available issuer on the exchanges. 

“Any potential benefits of competition were offset, or more than offset, by a subsidy design that really insulates enrollees from a lot of the cost, because the subsidies go up as premiums go up. That’s part of why you have seen the increase,” Ed Haislmaier, a senior research fellow with the DeVos Center for Human Flourishing at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal.

3. Not ‘One Dime to Our Deficits’

Obama said in September 2009, “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future.”

The initial score by the Congressional Budget Office in 2010 estimated the legislation would reduce the federal deficit. However, the cost of Medicaid expansion was higher than projected, as was the cost of subsidies, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The expansion of the COVID-19 era subsidies were passed as part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act and extended as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The COVID-19 emergency formally ended 2-1/2 years ago.

The CBO found in 2024 that extending the COVID-era subsidies permanently would result in a $380 billion cost increase to taxpayers over the next 10 years.It would also likely mean 6.9 million individuals would be added to the Obamacare exchanges—receiving an average subsidy of $5,370 each. But of that 6.9 million, at least 3.5 million would be shifting from existing insurance plans such as employer plans, according CBO. 

Before the COVID-19 subsidies, Obamacare enrollment was stable. In 2019, 13.7 million individuals drew a subsidy. By just the first quarter of 2025, that reached 26.7 million—nearly double.

“Obamacare is not affordable, and has narrowed network plans to exclude certain doctors and hospitals,” Brian Blase, president of Paragon Health Institute, a health care think tank, told The Daily Signal. “The only people purchasing are for the most part getting giant subsidies. It’s good for the health insurance companies. There used to be a guaranteed customer base with the individual mandate, which was eliminated. But it’s still a heavily regulated market, which decreases competition, and they receive massive subsidies.”

4. ‘Savings’ From Medicaid Expansion

“The insurance reforms rest on everybody having access to coverage, and you also don’t do anything about the fact that taxpayers currently end up subsidizing the uninsured when they’re forced to go to the emergency room for care, to the tune of about a thousand bucks per family,” Obama said in March 2010. “You can’t get those savings if those people are still going to the emergency room.”  

Almost 20 million newly eligible able-bodied adults enrolled in Medicaid from 2013 to 2023. That’s compared with Medicaid enrollment for children that increased by just 2.5 million, and for the elderly that increased by 1.2 million over the same 10-year span. The number of disabled enrollees over that period declined by 400,000, the Heritage Foundation report from August 2024 says. 

Emergency room visits from the new Medicaid enrollees have increased, the Paragon Health Institute noted in a report last October. 

“As a result of expansion, existing Medicaid enrollees have had more challenges obtaining doctor appointments,” the Paragon report says. “According to a 2019 meta-analysis, prior to expansion, Medicaid enrollees were half as likely as those with private insurance to get appointments, while they were only one-third as likely after expansion—a decline by one-third.”

From 2013 to 2023, Medicaid enrollment, as well as enrollment in the Children’s Health Insurance Program, soared overall from 61.1 million to 85.4 million.

Medicaid enrollment more than doubled over those 10 years in Alaska, Virginia, Oregon, and Nevada.

Nothing. It won’t happen for me in my lifetime. I don’t have enough left to jump on a starship for a jaunt to another planet, safely. The way we are planning a colony on Mars is a one-way trip. I kind of like my recliner now.

Oh, I used to brag that I could be the next Captain Kirk. That is me believing in fiction, though. I was as they say, young and dumb and full of cum back then. I was ready to slay dragons and save the damsel in distress. Age has cured that for me.

I watched the first step on the moon and later read the biographies of the people who developed the programs. It was one of the biggest crap shoots ever, that didn’t go horribly wrong. It wasn’t Star Trek; it was closer to a wagon train going to California for the gold rush, so we could beat the Soviets to the moon.

I also don’t wonder as much about what is out there. I’m pretty sure there aren’t any Romulans, or Klingons, or even Vulcans. We kind of know there aren’t little green men coming to take them to our leader.

I don’t even care about the money. Musk is spending his fortune on the aforementioned colony on Mars. Let him slay that dragon.

Exposing Margaret Sanger – Racist, Eugenicist

Seth Gruber, the founder of The White Rose Resistance, a pro-life nonprofit, refers to abortion as “the linchpin upon which the liberal establishment swings.” Therefore, he decided to prick the conscience of the church — particularly the American church — and galvanize it into action vis-à-vis the genocide of preborn babies. His new documentary with The Daily Wire, “The 1916 Project” (paywalled), is meant to do just that.

“The 1916 Project” does a deep dive into the historical context of the secular humanist revolution that led to the great Woke Revolution. The documentary centers on eugenicist Margaret Sanger and her opening of the first birth control clinic in 1916. He asks some salient questions, namely: How did we get to this “culture of death” that leftists have propped up as their way of life? How did we talk ourselves into the dehumanization of preborn babies? And just who is Margaret Sanger?

In order to understand where Sanger’s ideas originated, we need to go all the way back to Thomas Malthus, a preacher who believed that humanity was on the verge of a population bomb. Sound familiar?

Malthus’s ideas were heavily influential to Charles Darwin, who took the population bomb idea and minimized humans to animals in his theories of evolution. This led to the next step: If humans are animals, then like any other animal, they depend on the survival of the fittest.

It was a distant cousin of Darwin, Francis Galton, who took Darwin’s survival-of-the-fittest idea and transformed it into the fittest killing off the weak and deformed among us. Thus, modern eugenics was born.

This theory led to Havelock Ellis positing that if people were just animals and procreation should be controlled, then the purpose of sex must be for something else. That something else, he proposed, was exploration of the soul. His ideas heavily influenced both Sanger, who was a student and lover of his, and Alfred Kinsey, the materialistic sadist known as the father of the sexual revolution. From Kinsey’s ideas we get all of the Left’s justifications for various sexual perversions, ranging from pedophilia to transgenderism, as well as its notions of feminism, free love, abortion, gender ideology, critical race theory, and climate alarmism. These notions all make up the culture of death.

The ideas that we are fighting against today were borne of eugenics and materialistic gnosticism. And, more importantly, they were borne of the minds of those who wanted no God except themselves. To do that, they had to reduce human beings to animals and preborn babies to not yet a person.

Sanger was, until 2021, considered the patron saint of feminism. She believed that if women were to have “No Gods and No Masters,” their libido needed to be freed (like men’s), and the babies conceived from that freed libido needed to be done away with. (Hello, feminism.) It advanced two agendas — feminism and eugenics — which Sanger’s Planned Parenthood acolytes have always tried to downplay.

Sanger was driven by the idea of creating a “race of Thoroughbreds.” She viewed the existence of ill, insane, disabled, or mentally deficient people as a crime against humanity. She had a particular agenda against black Americans. She also viewed poverty and non-white status as being subhuman. In fact, she opened the first abortion clinic in Brownsville, New York. Why? Because that part of New York City had the highest population of the poor and immigrants (i.e., non-white people). Sanger’s clinic was only open for a few days before she was arrested, but it was long enough for her and her sister to administer hundreds of abortions.

As a devout eugenicist, Sanger actually shared office space with Madison Grant, whose The Passing of the Great Race was about how the white race was being overcome and blocked from glory by other races. Adolf Hitler called this book his “bible.”

Sanger had other connections to the Nazi movement. One of the founding board members of her American Birth Control League — which would one day become Planned Parenthood — wrote several books, including The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy and The Revolt Against Civilization: The Menace of the Under Man. This second title is where Heinrich Himmler got the idea for the untermensch (subhuman). Sanger’s great friend and adviser, Ernst Rüdin, helped shape the Nazi ideas about genetic cleansing — i.e., mass murder of undesirables.

More here, including her involvement with Hitler

They were the same in their thinking. I don’t know why Blacks don’t completely revolt against the liberals over this woman, their de facto patron saint

The Freakout At CBS Becoming Slightly Less Liberal

The alphabet news channels have been in lockstep since Edward R Murrow. They used to be good at hiding the fact that it was slanted left in the Cronkite era, but that went out the window with Dan Rather.

No one galvanized them more than Trump of course, who they all loved until he came down the escalator and said Make America Great Again.

They’ve been joined by the late night, not so funny comedy shows, the shrews at The View and any other show that could be turned political. It was that way across the board. Even Fox has joined the liberal slant.

It worked so well, CBS News got sold, and said they (might) be equal in coverage. The newsreaders lost their minds, and here is what you get.


The aerobic freakout has begun inside the liberal media over the new owners of CBS News appointing “anti-woke” Bari Weiss to the new post of editor-in-chief.

None of the CBS veterans want a new boss with a new ideology. They like pretending they don’t have an ideology. They call themselves courageously “independent.”

In her initial memo to employees, Weiss stated several principles that are absolute anathema inside CBS: “Journalism that holds both American political parties to equal scrutiny” and “Journalism that embraces a wide spectrum of views and voices so that the audience can contend with the best arguments on all sides of a debate.”

The anonymous leakers are already on fire. Jeremy Barr of The Guardian spread the early spurts: “CBS News veterans I’ve talked to are encouraging Bari Weiss to not mess with the Golden Goose(s) of ’60 Minutes’ and ‘CBS News Sunday Morning.’”

What makes them “golden”? They’re the opposite of the Weiss principles. They rely on a narrow spectrum of ideas and persistently favor one political party over another.

“60 Minutes” is notoriously pro-Democrat, from Steve Kroft trying to save Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign from the early adultery charges of his mistress, Gennifer Flowers, to Kroft performing a series of blatantly promotional interviews with Barack Obama, starting in 2008.

There is more here if you want to read it, but it is facts that both sides know to be true. Like Academia, the propaganda arm of the Democrat party carried the water for decades

AOTW

Foist, we’ll start with Greta. She’s gone from lying about the climate to the next move so she can stay in the headlines.

Her flotilla of aid had no aid and was funded by Hamas. Remember them? They committed the atrocities on October 7 when they started the mess going on right now.

Yesterday, Ward Clark offered timely, on‑point coverage of the IDF’s interception of the 42 ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla. After Israel searched the ships, it was discovered that the flotilla carried no aid on board any of the vessels. Furthermore, additional evidence revealed the flotilla was funded by Hamas. The evidence regarding no aid will be presented first, followed by evidence of the Hamas connection.

She’s wearing the traditional headscarf of a terrorist.

Next, the NFL, in trying to attract more American viewers, picked a Spanish speaking wierdo for the halftime show that repulses those of us normies. The NFL could deserve its own post for its woke policies, but woke is dying, and nobody is kneeling. So while Goodell is an asshat, it’s just a game.


The winner of the AOTW is of course, the Nobel Peace Prize committee, who overlooked the person who actually brought peace this week because they are assholes.

It is not hyperbole to say President Donald Trump is the “Peace GOAT.” He’s ended more conflicts and saved more lives in the last nine months than any world leader has done in their entire lives, ever.

But facts alone weren’t enough to sway the ultra-woke, insanely anti-Trump Norwegian Nobel Committee. They instead gave this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader who speaks out for democratic rights in her country.

Not to diminish her efforts, but she hasn’t actually accomplished anything. Ever.

She dedicated the award to Trump, showing more integrity than the Nobel committee.

It was an asshole move by the committee, one they keep making since they gave it to a war president around 2009 who hadn’t done anything. He would go on to cause more division in our country than any recent president and stir up racism and hate.

What Does AI Have To Say About This Blog

For kicks, I asked a couple of different engines….here you go

The blog johnsimonds.com, also known as “Delusions of Adequacy,” is written by John Simonds, a critical thinker and writer who uses sarcasm and analytical pattern recognition to explore various topics. The blog lampoons subjects like “Woke” culture, the behavior of “Karens,” hypocrites in positions of power, social media, technology, global power, and issues requiring thoughtful analysis.

Delusions is a platform where he expresses his sharp wit and critique of societal trends, often highlighting power grabs and manipulation, such as his early views on the COVID-19 vaccine narrative. His writing features a sarcastic tone combined with deep pattern recognition and analysis, aiming to reveal truths often obscured by media and political influences. Alongside societal topics, he also writes about introversion, IQ, and success strategies based on his observations and experiences.

Delusions has a background in communications and analyst relations, having worked for companies like IBM. His education includes philosophy (school of hard knocks) and business administration. The blog reflects his intellectual and somewhat contrarian perspective, mingled with a sarcastic style.

Overall, Delusions of Adequacy serves as an outlet for his critical and sometimes provocative views on contemporary cultural and political matters, as well as insights into intelligence, social behavior, and personal development.

Then, there’s this:

Ideological / Political Slant
The blog clearly leans strongly toward conservative / anti‑liberal, reactionary rhetoric. Some posts present critiques of “left” ideologies, social justice, or what the author perceives as overreach by government, media, or academia. The language is blunt and provocative. (got that one right)

Mix of Personal and Public
The blog seems to straddle the line between being a personal blog (writing about “My Life,” self‑help, work experiences) and being an opinion / commentary site. The author uses personal voice, “I” statements, reflections, but also publishes political and public commentary. (yep)

Content, Themes & Style

  • The blog has multiple categories: My Life, Self‑Help, Work, News, General / Opinion, etc.
  • Self‑help category includes posts about mental and physical health, learning, productivity, and life decisions.
  • Work category includes posts critical of meetings, on work ethic, reflections from earlier jobs, aversion to inefficiency.
  • News / Political / Public Commentary is present — e.g. a post about Dr. Jorge Zamora‑Quezada’s alleged medical fraud is under the “news” category.
  • Another post, “Why Vegans Aren’t As Smart – Your Brain Needs Meat,” uses dismissive, provocative language toward veganism, calling it a “religion” and mocking it.
  • The tone is partisan and loaded: for instance, in a post about Jimmy Kimmel and celebrity commentary, the author uses strong language (“celebtards,” “they are so stupid,” etc.) and frames the discussion in combative, ideological terms.
  • Many posts are dated and archived over the years, including ones from 2012 (e.g. “How An Average Joe Can Be A Millionaire”)

Well, it’s somewhat close. At least they got the combatative, sarcastic, blunt, provocative and celebtards right. I thought I called Kimmel an asshole.

They missed the whole Introvert thing. That’s important to me

Oh, I do mock vegans. Sorry, but not sorry.

Who’s The Facist Now? Swalwell: Democrats will target private citizens who work with Trump admin

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.”

Rejecting Civilization

By William R. Hawkins

https://trinitymedia.ai/player/trinity-player.php?pageURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanthinker.com%2Farticles%2F2025%2F10%2Frejecting_civilization.html&contentHash=e853497d538439bd8103adb0cde3b4124d17c55c7dc699a33c4fdedd1121d941&unitId=2900022523&userId=cfb5d9bd-f00c-463c-b153-1ef524de0cf7&isLegacyBrowser=false&isPartitioningSupport=1&version=20250930_587c44e9c08d2034655a6f804db4417974d223e3&useBunnyCDN=0&themeId=477&isMobile=0&unitType=tts-player&integrationType=web

In his address to the General Assembly of the United Nations, President Donald Trump claimed that “the UN has such tremendous potential” but was not using it. What did this mean? The UN officially is a member’s organization, a meeting place for diplomacy. Did Trump want to go beyond this and see a UN as a powerful organization operating on its own? The UN has grown into a massive bureaucracy, with over 130,000 people. Secretary-General António Guterres speaks for the UN as if it were the prototype for a world government. Autonomous UN agencies like the International Criminal Court, World Trade Organization, and International Seabed Authority already behave as if they are global governing bodies able to act against national states. As a nationalist, Trump could not have been calling for the UN to further expand to fulfill its ‘potential.”

The UN is a sanctuary for third-ratestaffers and pseudo-intellectuals from around the world on the lam from reality. A giant, well-funded faculty lounge. Trump mentioned how the UN is “creating new problems for us to solve.” By supporting mass migration, “the United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders… every sovereign nation must have the right to control their own borders.” And on the climate issue, “I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the ‘green energy’ scam, your country is going to fail.”

Rosie’s Shrink Doesn’t Know Why Her Trump Derangement Syndrome Is So Bad – It’s The Same Story For Most Trump Haters

I ask every Trump hater I talk to what their reason is. Some are just going to vote for the democrat regardless of whether it’s Jack the Ripper or JFK.

Most though, don’t know why, other than they were told they should hate him because of the lies the media told them. They poorly regurgitate some of the talking points, but they don’t even get that right. They usually have a reason that’s not even true.

I don’t bother trying to engage because they’ve made up their minds. Besides, the election is over, and more people wanted him than Kamala or Hillary.

The point is, people are sheep. They got told to get jabbed for Covid-19, a coronavirus that 99% of the people survived, regardless of whether they were jabbed or not. They got told to hate Trump because of any number of falsehoods that are what’s in vogue that day.

And now you have Rosie O’Donnell, who doesn’t know why she hates him. He called her some names that are actually true when she looks in the mirror. She’s a spiteful woman who wants to hate, but can’t explain it.

Hate him or love him, he is better for the country than either Hillary or Kamala would have been. A different candidate may have been better, but those were the options at the time. I’m not here to defend or deride him. It’s about the lemming mentailty.

Here’s her version:

The Daily Caller has details:

Even Rosie O’Donnell’s Shrink Doesn’t Understand Why Her Trump Derangement Syndrome Is Out Of Control

Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell on “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace” Monday said even her therapist questioned why she was so devastated by President Donald Trump’s administration.

O’Donnell fled to Ireland to escape Trump’s second term, but continues to emotionally opine on the president. She said on the podcast that she could not comprehend why others did not share her emotions, including her therapist, who she said questioned her about them.

“When people say ‘I changed my mind,’ we have to say ‘Welcome back to reality. Let’s all be Americans together.’ Right? Because what’s happening is not only happening to Democrats,” O’Donnell told host Nicolle Wallace. “It’s happening to everyone. And when the Medicaid cuts go in, old people are going to start to die, to die.” (there are no medicaid cuts except for illegals on the table)

“What he’s done hasn’t even hit us yet. And if he’s not stopped now, we have lost our country,” she continued. “And I don’t know, Nicolle, how it is that some people cannot see it. My therapist said, ‘Why are you so upset?’ And I said to her, ‘Why are you not?’”

FWIW, I have friends who didn’t like them, and they couldn’t explain it either. In their ramblings to try to tell me, they revealed that it’s envy of his success. Sure, he’s brash, but live in NY for a couple of weeks and he’s no different than the rest of them.

Uncovered Background On The Tylenol/Pregnancy Issue – Why Don’t You Take An Aspirin Instead?

That’s my medical opinion, relatively worthless other than through my own experience. As a Martial Artist in multiple disciplines as well as a competitive biker, I’ve taken a lot of everything. I’ve had surgeries to repair a lot of the damage from sparring and grappling, as well as hitting the deck on my bike at over 30 MPH.

I pretty much take Aspirin only now. I know the NSAIDS work, but I try to take it easy on my liver and kidneys. Lord only knows what it could do to a baby forming in the womb with a developing liver.

Anyway, here it is. The Johnson and Johnson statement of research is in the link below:

Scientifically proven links in medicine are relatively rare–in fact, there is relatively little evidence that a lot of drugs do what they claim to do, with the difference in outcomes between placebos and beneficial outcomes being modest to nonexistent. Some of the most commonly prescribed drugs, such a SSRIs, are FDA approved despite links with serious or even fatal side effects and relatively small benefits that are barely distinguishable from a placebo. There are plenty of dangerous surgical procedures, such as many back surgeries, that are often performed and are usually unsuccessful. 

Some drugs and medical procedures are nearly miraculous, while others turn out to be busts when they hit the market, despite being FDA-approved. 

We can argue whether the preponderance of the evidence shows a link between autism and Tylenol use during pregnancy, but not whether there is a lot of evidence that there is one. Even Johnson & Johnson, in internal documents obtained in discovery for an upcoming lawsuit, was very concerned about the potential link. Johnson & Johnson spun off its Tylenol business in 2023.

January 6th: It Was The FBI All Along

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.”

FAFO – Judge sentences ‘scholar-activist’ to 20 years in prison for firebombing UC Berkeley cop car

For a while there, the left was emboldened to think that they could get away with this behavior. Those days are coming to an end.

Now, here’s how to ruin your life, career and become bubba’s girlfriend for 20 years

The College Fix reports:

Judge sentences ‘scholar-activist’ to 20 years in prison for firebombing UC Berkeley cop car

A federal judge sentenced a ‘scholar-activist” to almost 20 years in prison and ordered him to pay nearly $100,000 in fines for firebombing a University of California Berkeley police car and committing other acts of arson.

Judge Jeffrey White went further than even requested by the prosecution, who asked for 15 years in prison for Casey Goonan, who committed the crimes in June 2024.

Goonan, as detailed by the Department of Justice, “placed a bag containing six explosive devices commonly known as ‘Molotov cocktails’ underneath the fuel tank of a marked University of California Police Department (UCPD) patrol car parked near the UC Berkeley campus.  Goonan lit the bag on fire and fled, causing the patrol car to catch on fire.”

That same month, he reportedly tried to firebomb federal buildings as well.

Last year, Goonan’s attorney Jeff Wozniak said the charges were part of a politicized investigation due to his client’s opposition to Israel. “It is an investigation focused on Mr. Goonan’s political beliefs in a free Palestine and against the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” the attorney said last year. “If charges are filed, Mr. Goonan’s legal team will aggressively fight the charges.”

Back To My Troll Tim O’Reilly – Latest Science Further Exposes Lies About Rising Seas

Still worried about the seas rising there Timbo? Read this:

It’s all too predictable: A jet-setting celebrity or politician wades ceremoniously into hip-deep surf for a carefully choreographed photo op, while proclaiming that human-driven sea-level rise will soon swallow an island nation. Of course, the water is deeper than the video’s pseudoscience, which is as shallow as the theatrics.

The scientific truth is simple: Sea levels are rising, but the rate of rise has not accelerated. A new peer-reviewed study confirms what many other studies have already shown – that the steady rise of oceans is a centuries-long process, not a runaway crisis triggered by modern emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).

For the past 12,000 years, during our current warm epoch known as the Holocene, sea levels have risen and fallen dramatically.

CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=479979

For instance, during the 600-year Little Ice Age, which ended in the mid-19th century, sea levels dropped quite significantly. The natural warming that began in the late 1600s got to a point around 1800 where loss of glacial ice in the summer began to exceed winter accumulation and glaciers began to shrink and seas to rise. By 1850, full-on glacial retreat was underway.

Thus, the current period of gradual sea-level increase began between 1800-1860, preceding any significant anthropogenic CO2 emissions by many decades. The U.S. Department of Energy’s 2025 critical review on carbon dioxide and climate change confirms this historical perspective.

“There is no good, sufficient or convincing evidence that global sea level rise is accelerating –there is only hypothesis and speculation. Computation is not evidence and unless the results can be practically viewed and measured in the physical world, such results must not be presented as such,” notes Kip Hansen, researcher and former U.S. Coast Guard captain.

1968, Both The Summer Of Love And The Summer Of Hate And Violence

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.

AOTW

Let’s start with Eric Swalwell, who was boning Chinese spy Fang-Fang and giving away US secrets. How he’ not already hung is that it’s not 1776, when we stood for patriotism He only gets a Benedict Arnold trophy.

He pulls this lining up the media with the liberals, as if there was any doubt:

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., warned Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr on Thursday to “get a lawyer” over what he called “dirty deals” after the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show.

ABC put the show on indefinite hold on Wednesday following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk.

I’ve been waiting for this to happen. Everyone including Kimmel predicted it. Jimmy got canned. The left is finally getting cancelled.

He was funny on the Man Show and the other host, Adam Carrolla is very conservative, go figure. I mean how did they get away with girls jumping on trampolines?

Then, he must have gotten paid a lot to veer left of Meathead, Keith Olberman, and the other stars of liberal land.

Anyway, for the stuff he’s said, and for trashing Charlie Kirk, Jimmy Kimmel, You are the asshole of the week.

The Media Is on War Footing Over Suspension

Legacy Media outlets lost their collective minds when CBS canned both “The Late Show” and its far-Left host Stephen Colbert earlier this year. That media reaction is tame compared to what we’re seeing now.

Kimmel Appears Unrepentant

The comic host could have backpedaled and/or apologized for his comments the following night. He was 100 percent wrong, and Kirk’s death is a national tragedy. We’re a forgiving country, and a heartfelt “my bad” would go a long way.

Except Kimmel did no such thing. And according to reports, he planned to double down had he been able to resume his show Wednesday night. We all make mistakes. Kimmel’s was born out of naked ideology, and that’s being kind.

FCC Chair’s Comments Weren’t Good or Helpful

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned that the government could take action on Kimmel’s original comments. That ties to the notion that broadcast platforms serve the public good, and malicious lies are antithetical to that rule.

He’s technically right, but it’s a very dangerous path to go down. It’s also something that could easily be weaponized by unscrupulous players on the Left and Right.

The Biden administration did plenty to curb free expression. Imagine what President Ocasio-Cortez would do with such a precedent?

The Left’s Censorship Cries Stink of Hypocrisy

There isn’t enough space on the Interwebs to share all the liberal hypocrisy on this issue. The Left downplayed or fed into Cancel Culture for years. It ignored the rise of Sensitivity Readers who censored new and existing art. They watched in silence as comedians self-censored for fear of career repercussions.

To liberals crying, “but what about free speech,” we say, “pound sand.”

This Isn’t OG Cancel Culture

Cancel Culture punished comedians for jokes they told a decade ago. Maybe more. It crucified stars for things they did when they were barely adults. It pummeled artists for sharing the “wrong” views on key issues, even if many others rightfully agreed with those views.

This … this … isn’t Cancel Culture. Kimmel’s big lie was nauseating, inappropriate and demanded a retraction. Period. And, if he had done that, none of this might have happened.

ABC May Be Embracing the Situation

CBS canceled “The Late Show” in part because it’s losing the network $40 million a year. It’s a no-brainer to cut ties with a format that no longer matters in a 21st-century media world.

What about Kimmel?

Is “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” a cash cow? Late-night revenues have been cratering for some time. Kimmel draws roughly between 1.2 and 1.7 million per episode. That’s lower than Colbert’s “Late Show” viewership and far lower than the format’s salad days.

Some reports suggest ABC wouldn’t mind getting out of the Jimmy Kimmel business given that reality. It’s a topic worth exploring.

The Liberal Bubble Bit Kimmel

It may say, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” but the show is taped and features a written monologue. That means someone had to pen that MAGA lie and, most likely, several staffers read it before the show’s taping. Did anyone raise their hand and say, “No, that’s inaccurate. Shouldn’t we change the line before we hit record?” 

Apparently not.

Even worse? No one spoke up the following day, when Team Kimmel could have served up that aforementioned apology. They were all caught up in the liberal bubble, the one that told them Kirk’s killer was MAGA through and through.

Legacy Media lies set this in motion, just as Fox News’ David Marcus said.

It’s Deeper Than Mental Illness

I see patterns and within the first couple of killings, I commented that it’s Trannies a lot who are on psycho meds and other drugs to try and make their bodies look like not what they were born as.

Unlike the first sentence below, I haven’t spent a lot of time on it because everyone else has. The only way it’s going to stop is to stop what’s making them kill.

Every kid has troubles growing up and cutting off your dick or your tits aren’t going to fix that. Life is hard, and apparently gets harder.


Maybe you spent time last week perusing X postings related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Aside from the many accolades, conservative influencers did fine jobs identifying left-wingers who not only celebrated Kirk’s assassination, but offered attaboys to Tyler Robinson, the triggerman. Some even called for more violence. If you didn’t have time earlier, scroll through the Libs of TikTok’s and the Vigilant Fox’s threads, for starters. You’ll get an eyeful. “Somebody had to do it” wasn’t an uncommon refrain. Who, this side of hell, delights in an act of murder?

What was striking was that many of the posts featured females. Was that the result of sampling biases? Not likely. It was self-promotion. Call it malignant feminist self-empowerment. Not that there aren’t Charlie Kirk haters among “progressive” males — his killer is an XY, after all, who lived with a trans — but left-of-center females dominated the posted videos. Why so?

There’s no point rehashing Kirk’s qualities or listing his achievements. Others who knew him have provided rich, poignant testimony to his stellar character and unshakable dedication to his faith and freedom. His very public record is testament enough.

If you sift through the haters’ postings, you’ll think they inhabit an alternative universe. Abundant public record be damned. For them, Kirk was an ogre, some mythical beast. He checked off every box that inflames the leftist mind. Homophobe, transphobe, this-phobe, that-phobe. They fictionalized Kirk. Damn reality, too!

Are the celebratory outpourings over an innocent man’s murder indictive of a sickness in our society? Yes, they are.

That sickness starts with an obsession — the obsession with self. “If it feels good, do it” was a 60s mantra that has sparked a decades-long deep dive into hedonism, regardless the blarney about “self-actualization.” The Me Generation ethos metastasized, spreading throughout the society.

Electromagnetic Weapon Destroys Drone Swarm In Seconds: ‘Singularity Event’

Drones have quickly become all the rage among military leaders and Silicon Valley investors, but new weaponry could threaten the nascent technology’s swift rise.

Last Tuesday, defense contractor Epirus quietly tested its latest electromagnetic weapon, Leonidas, against a swarm of 49 quadcopters, neutralizing them in seconds at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, according to Axios, the only news outlet invited to the groundbreaking test. Numerous U.S. military services and foreign allies, including Indo-Pacific partners, witnessed the event. In an interview with Axios, Epirus CEO Andy Lowery hailed the “forcefield system” as a “singularity event.”

Europe On Path To War Economy: Rheinmetall Opens Continent’s Largest Ammo Factory

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.

Remembering 9-11: “That Feeling That We Were Really All One People”

I was working with our European divisions (every Country as it was IBM) and on 9/12 they were all “We are Americans too”.

By the next day, they were back to their favorite sport, trashing America. Everyone shoots for number one, and since Bush was a republican, the hate came back quickly and with even stronger wishes for the USA to be harmed.

Let’s not forget that I’m married to a European. Her family didn’t think that we should protect our country because of the violence it would cause. They stopped being my in-laws that day and became my wife’s family. I had mentioned that this was the biggest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.

An analyst I was forced to deal with was saying how the US didn’t have to fight 2 fronts in WWII. I calmly reminded him that we had the Japanese going on at the same time. Yes, he was an asshole and an ignorant one at that.

I don’t even go to see them anymore because the liberal press in Europe can out liberal the US liberal press. They believe every word and the hate they have for Trump is only matched by Keith Olberman and Rosie O’Donnell.

Anyway……

Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Most folks who were adults at that time remember it like it was yesterday.

Many of us have also had years when we’ve felt like distancing ourselves from the anniversary commemorations. Even for those not directly impacted, memories of that day—and the days that followed—still bring back traces of a trauma we’d never felt before. A feeling of insecurity we’d never experienced. Perhaps actor Tony Danza summed it up best when he said “I don’t like revisiting how I felt.”

In some ways the trauma seems to deepen with time, as new layers of grief emerge–like memories of loved ones who shared those moments but are now gone.

This year I decided to crack open the door and look back, if only for a little while.

In doing so, I came across some videos I’d never seen before–interviews with celebrities of that time period discussing where they were on 9-11.

Ten years after the attacks, producer and director David P. Levin released his documentary “When Pop Culture Saved America: A 9-11 Story.” Originally produced for A&E Networks, it explored how entertainment, comedy, and music helped Americans cope and rebuild in the months that followed. Levin spoke with numerous celebrities for the documentary, later posting extended interviews on his “Pop Goes the Culture” YouTube channel.

They didn’t remember. The people I dealt with were happy when we got attacked every time since and were mad when we protected ourselves.

European Self Hatred Far Greater Than US Version, A Virtual Powder Keg

Americans who don’t spend time in Europe might not fully appreciate what a powder keg the Old World has become.  

However bad social relations in the United States now are, they are at least an order of magnitude worse on the other side of the Atlantic.  European self-hatred is dissolving traditional cultural bonds.  Mass immigration is compounding age-old rivalries.  

Europe is one spark away from exploding.

Europe is a perennial battlefield.  Many of our ancestors, after all, left the old country to escape religious, economic, and cultural conflicts that had endured for centuries.  Those historic grievances — always simmering in times of peace before boiling over into outright violence — are passed from one generation to the next.  Modern European nations are the product of two thousand years of shifting borders and alliances, and native Europeans trace their family lineages back to regional tribes whose ancient territories do not fit neatly within the politically drawn maps of today.

If you think geographical accents in America make it tricky for a Mississippian or Minnesotan to communicate effectively with an English-speaker from the Bronx, consider that Europe is home to nearly three hundred native tongues.  Switzerland has four national languages — including Romansch, which derives from the spoken Latin of the Roman Empire.  The cornucopia of indigenous languages, dialects, vocabularies, and accents makes it possible for local residents of small towns to recognize “outsiders” immediately.  Even more impressively, they can usually tell — just by listening — which towns a stranger’s grandparents once called home.

Two world wars — both ignited in Europe and responsible for immense European destruction — propelled a mid-twentieth-century political movement calling for the eradication of national borders.  The European intelligentsia who became the founding members of the continent’s fledgling transnational bureaucracy blamed national pride for Europe’s carnage and effectively turned “nationalism” into a dirty word.  

Oddly, this was also a time when crumbling empires, such as France and the United Kingdom, were at least tepidly supporting the national independence of former colonies.  Likewise, it was the beginning of a half-century U.S.-led campaign to encourage national revolutions in European countries stuck behind the Soviet Union’s Iron Curtain.  So Western power brokers framed nationalism as a kind of intolerable ethos on par with Mussolini’s fascism and Hitler’s national socialism while encouraging former nations or proto-nations in Central Europe, Africa, and Asia to break away from the respective empires that controlled them.  While Western leaders pushed for the integration of distinct European nations into a single “Union,” they also promoted national independence movements under the rationale that all humans possess a natural right to self-determination.

In the eighty years since the project for European integration began in earnest, those latent contradictions have transformed Europe into a tinderbox with even greater potential energy for self-destruction than existed before WWI and II.  While the bureaucratic ruling class has actively repressed the historic identities of native Europeans, it has flooded the continent with foreigners who are encouraged to retain their own cultural identities.  In this way, a Hungarian or Pole or Dane who celebrates his country’s unique heritage is denounced as a “far-right nationalist,” while a Frenchman who insists that African and Middle Eastern immigrants assimilate to the European way of life is denounced as a “racist” and “bigot.”

Policies of Former NC Dem Governor Cooper Led To Train Stabbing Of Iryna

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.”

It Was A Sham The Whole Time: NY Times, Ben Casselman Hardest Hit: BLS Overestimated Biden-Era Jobs by 911,000

I haven’t trusted the NY Times since I’ve been alive. As for Biden, history will judge him, but it’s not looking good for him. He’s competing with Woodrow Wilson (racist), Jimmy Carter (incompetent), Obama (Ditherer and America hater)

For all of New York Times chief economics correspondent Ben Casselman’s fussbudgeting over President Donald Trump supposedly compromising the reliability of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a new report pointing to gross BLS ineptitude just made him look like a complete idiot.

The Bidenomics simp Casselman was forced to report that the BLS overestimated jobs growth during the Biden era — AGAIN — this time by nearly 1 million (-911,000) in the 12-month period ending March 2025, the largest revision on record. Casselman conceded that it was the “latest sign that the labor market, until recently a bright spot in the economy, may be weaker than it initially appeared.”

Remember: this scandalously politicized Fake News came out during the election season.

What makes this worse is that Casselman is the same person who co-wrote an embellished pre-election Day report slobbering all over Biden jobs market October 5, 2024:“The Job Market Is Chugging Along, Completing a Solid Economic Picture.” Like the cherry on top of this luscious-looking pile of crow, Casselman praised how “And the incoming evidence points to a clear conclusion: The economy is robust … In fact, the [September BLS] report reinforced that by many measures, the job market is as healthy as it has ever been.”

To My Troll Tim O’Reilly: Get the Facts Straight, The Independent, Island Nations Are Growing, Not “Sinking Into the Sea”

I caught grief online by this jerk by saying that the seas aren’t rising and that his Global Warming religion was a lie. He was a pompous dick about it. I took grief from his pals, the now defunct Greenmonk and other like Analyst groups.

Fortunately, the truth wins out. He’s still a book publisher or whatever he does, but is still a troll. The tide comes in twice a day, that’s the only rising it’s done in a long time

The Independent posted an article claiming multiple small island nations are sinking into the sea, threatening the cease existing as nations, leaving their populations adrift. Data shows this is simply false. Amid modest sea level rise, the island nations that The Independent discusses have increased in size, population, and prosperity amid modest climate change. No real data shows that the oceans are about to swamp these countries.

“Small island nations such as Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Maldives and Marshall Islands are particularly vulnerable to climate change,” claims The Independent in its story, “These countries are sinking into the sea. What happens when they disappear forever?” “Rising seas, stronger storms, freshwater shortages and damaged infrastructure all threaten their ability to support life.

“Some islands even face the grim possibility of being abandoned or sinking beneath the ocean,” continues The Independent. “This raises an unprecedented legal question: can these small island nations still be considered states if their land disappears?”

While questions of international law with regard to the status of nations and their peoples should a country cease to exist are beyond the ken of Climate Realism, data indicates that the populations of these nations need not fear for their islands’ continued existence or, as result, the dissolution of their nation and national identity.

Darth Vader’s Lightsaber Sells for Record $3.6M at Auction

Darth Vader’s primary dueling lightsaber from “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi” sold for $3,654,000 at auction, setting a record as the most valuable piece of “Star Wars” memorabilia ever sold.

The winning bid of $2.9 million climbed to the final total with the buyer’s premium paid to Propstore, which held its Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The lightsaber had been expected to fetch between $1 million and $3 million.

The prop — held onscreen by actor David Prowse and stunt double Bob Anderson — is said to be the only hero lightsaber from the original trilogy to ever reach auction. Its sale coincides with the 45th anniversary of the release of “The Empire Strikes Back.”

In 2022, Propstore sold a 22-inch screen-matched model miniature of an X-wing fighter from George Lucas’ original “Star Wars” film for more than $2.3 million.

“Surviving genuine lightsaber props from the original trilogy of films are exceedingly rare, and Propstore is honored to present this historic artifact in our September sale,” Brandon Alinger, chief operating officer of Propstore, said in a statement. “It is a grail-level piece, worthy of the finest collections in the world.”

Iran: China Bet on the Wrong Horse

CHINA AND IRAN SINCE 1979

The previously nonexistent relations between Iran and China began to blossom after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. It is no coincidence that pariah nations seem to find each other and do business together, in one way or another, although Islamists and communists make strange ideological bedfellows. An alignment of the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism (for 39 years in a row according to the US State Dept) with a country that has practiced cultural genocide and forced organ harvesting for decades could be construed to be a match made in Hell.

Be that as it may, the relationship started slowly and followed an upward trajectory that paralleled China’s economic and military expansion and outreach that has been greatly accelerated by Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Some of the highlights:

China recognized the IRI in February 1979. Relations improved after China shifted away from supporting global communist revolutions in pursuit of “diplomatic pragmatism” and economic modernization in the 1980s. In Iran’s case, this meant withdrawing support from the communist Tudeh Party in favor of state-to-state diplomatic relations.

China provided approximately $2 billion worth of military hardware to Iran during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), including 107mm rockets, aircraft, main battle tanks, and surface-to-air missile systems.

In 1984, the Isfahan Nuclear Research Center was opened with Chinese assistance, which included technical support for the installation of a 30-kilowatt Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR), a Light Water Sub-Critical Reactor (LWSCR), a Heavy Water Zero Power Reactor (HWZPR), a Fuel Fabrication Laboratory (FFL) for producing experimental nuclear fuel, and a Zirconium Production Plant (ZPP) for manufacturing alloys used in nuclear reactors, all of which were vital for Iranian nuclear research.

China has much to lose depending on the outcome of the Israel-Iran war. As the largest buyer of Iranian oil, China imports over 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports. Any disruption of flow of those exports through the Strait of Hormuz, whether through blockage or severe damage to Iran’s oil infrastructure, would be a significant blow to China’s economy.

Israeli and US attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure reminds the world of the important Chinese assistance in support of Iran’s nuclear research and development capabilities. While ostensibly developed for “peaceful use of nuclear energy,” the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center has long been suspected of contributing to Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program, and China was the main player in jump-starting Isfahan when France ended its technical support after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Were any of the 1000+ Chinese who have left Iran since the 14 June attacks began involved in Iran’s nuclear programs in any way?

Finally, in pursuit of its goal to displace the US in the Middle East, China would lose significant diplomatic leverage with Gulf Cooperation Council states if it China sides with Iran in a major way (diplomatically or material support).

Look Who Biden Weaponized The Department Of Education Against

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.

WW3? French Hospitals Told To Prepare For A “Major Military Engagement” Within Six Months, Hopefully First War Win Since The Revolution

To be fair, They fought themselves in the French Revolution so it’s really a tie.

French hospitals have been advised to prepare for a large scale war by next year, in a government letter that was leaked to the media.

There are reports that the French Ministry of Health has informed hospitals to prepare for a “major [military] engagement” by March of 2026.

The letter allegedly states that between 10,000 to 50,000 people are to be expected in hospitals.

The leaked letter also reportedly explains that mass casualties are to be expected not just from its own forces, but wounded soldiers from across Europe, and that France would be acting as a ‘rear base’.

It outlines how French hospitals would need to prepare for up to 50 THOUSAND beds allocated to wounded civilians and military personnel EVERY MONTH.

The Ministry of Health also noted that it is considering the creation of medical centers near ports and airports.

“In the current international context, it is necessary to anticipate the modalities of health support in situations of high-intensity conflict,” the Ministry of Health letter reportedly notes.

The report adds that Health Minister Catherine Vautrin has not denied the authenticity of letter, claiming that it is “part of preparation.”

“It’s part of preparation, like strategic stockpiles, like epidemics,” Vautrin stated.

She added, “Hospitals are constantly preparing for epidemics and patient intake. The fact that the country is preparing for crises and assessing the consequences of what is happening [in the world] is completely normal.”

“I wasn’t in office at the time of Covid-19, remember, there were no words harsh enough to describe the country’s lack of preparedness,” she further stated.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about this.

Earlier this year, the French government sent a ‘survival manual’ to every household in France, warning them of an ‘imminent threat to the country’.

About the 72 Virgins

I’ve heard jokes that It’s 72 Virginians with a banjo that is starting to play.

This is a very cogent discussion, but I still think they’re all in hell and the worst of the lot like Khomeini, Mao, Muhammad, Stalin, and the guys who flew the airplanes into the twin towers, become the virgins for others.

Now to be serious:

Most in the West don’t know much about Islam, and what they know is often incorrect.  But what about the 72 virgins?

Are they real?  Do Muslim men believe that after death, they will be rewarded with 72 virgins?  The question needs to be addressed, because it has been suggested that there was an incorrect translation, and the men are getting raisins, not virgins.  And, perhaps out of envy or jealousy, some claim the virgins are old, ugly, and in constant PMS.  So what’s the truth about the 72 virgins?

Muslims believe that after they die, they will be admitted into paradise, where the weather is never too hot or too cold.  In paradise, there is an abundant supply of all kinds of food, as well as rivers of water, milk, wine, and honey.  There is a marketplace where men can choose and enter the image of a handsome man, after which they will remain 30 to 33 years old.  In paradise, there is no waste, such as urine; however, some believe that waste is secreted as sweat, which has a pleasant, musky odor.  In paradise, men recline on jeweled couches, facing one another, while each is served by thousands of immortal boys.

The virgins (HurHouris, and Houri) are special creations for the men in paradise.  They have white skin and beautiful eyes and are hairless except for their eyebrows and heads.  They have fully rounded, pear-shaped breasts that don’t sag or hang.  Every man will have between 72 and 100 virgins as wives.  Men have sex 100 times a day; they are never exhausted, and sex doesn’t become boring or routine.  After sex, the non-virgins become virgins again.  The virgins desire only their husbands and are never annoying or ungrateful.  And when the husband returns from being away, the virgins tell him that he is more handsome and graceful than when he left.

Although the verses about paradise and virgins are believed to have been revealed early in Muhammad’s prophecy, they had little impact on attracting followers.  After 12 years of preaching, when he left Mecca for Medina in 622, Muhammad had between 80 and 200 followers.  In Medina, conditions were initially so bleak that the survival of Islam was uncertain.  Then, just in time, Muhammad revealed new verses from the Quran that provided a way for his followers to attain paradise while they were still alive.  These verses gave Muslims permission to loot, murder, rape, rob, and enslave non-Muslims.  Thus, rather than waiting to die, Muslim men could immediately reward themselves with loot and women.  And, as a bonus for looting and raping, the Islamic god gave them a fast pass into paradise after death.  Promising Muslim men loot and women proved to be an effective recruiting tactic, as eight years later, Muhammad left Medina with an army of 10,000 bandits and rapists to conquer Mecca.

The path to paradise differed during Muhammad’s life.  Initially, when he needed large numbers of morally compromised, violent men to loot, rape, and force non-Muslims to submit to Islam, jihad was the only path.  In fact, jihad was an obligation, and those who died without participating met the Islamic god with a religious imperfection or as a hypocrite.

Then, with a never-ending supply of men eager for loot and women, Muhammad began to provide his followers with alternative paths to paradise.  For example, when a blind follower asked if he was going to hell because he couldn’t go on jihad, Muhammad quickly revealed a revelation about the blind and lame being exempt from jihad.  Others who couldn’t go on jihad wondered what would happen to them, and again, there were exceptions, such as providing for a jihadist’s family when he was away.  Then women wanted to know if they had to go on jihad; Muhammad said women’s jihad was making a pilgrimage to Mecca.  Muhammad’s followers continued to ask if certain conditions allowed them to enter paradise, and the list expanded to those who died from the plague, diarrhea, cholera, or pleurisy.  The list then expanded to those who drowned, and to those who were burned or crushed to death.  Soon, the list also contained those who died during childbirth, or who died in bed, “by any kind of death.”  When a woman asked if having three children die gained her entry into paradise, Muhammad said it would.  Another quickly asked if two dead children were enough, and again, he said they were.  Then he was asked if one dead child was sufficient.  Again, the answer was yes.  The list even included those who became seasick and vomited.  Finally, Muhammad said all Muslims go to paradise, unless they opt out.

There were concerns about whether women were allowed into paradise because of two consecutive verses in the Quran.  The first says the men in paradise are married to virgins with “wide, lovely eyes.”  The second says that in paradise, men are joined by their “believing offspring,” with no mention of their believing wives.  The absence of women in paradise is partly explained because they are overrepresented in hell, since they are less intelligent than men and they swear a lot.  They are also annoying and ungrateful to their husbands, and a wife is forbidden from entering paradise if her husband is displeased with her.  Even if earthly wives were admitted to paradise, it doesn’t appear they were united with their husbands.  The virgins told them that their husbands were only passing guests with them, and that after death, their husband would join his non-annoying, grateful virgin wives in paradise.

One additional issue related to entering paradise is the idea of predestination.  Muhammad said that from birth to death, Muslims’ lives are predestined, including who goes to hell and who goes to paradise.  This caused some problems when Muslims, including one of Muhammad’s daughters and her husband, stopped praying and attending the mosque.  When Muhammad confronted them, they claimed it wasn’t their fault, since their behavior was predestined and beyond their control.  They also said it didn’t matter what they did or didn’t do because their fate was already decided.  Muhammad quickly came up with the idea of “Best Deeds,” which included actions that demonstrate belief in the Islamic god, such as praying, attending the mosque, and going on jihad.  Muhammad told his followers that those going to paradise found the Best Deeds easy to do, and that performing the deeds was a sign they were predestined for paradise.

So the answer to the question is that Muslims believe that the men in paradise will have 72 wives.  The wives are virgins, beautiful, promiscuous, and grateful to and respectful toward their husbands.

Most AT readers probably don’t find the Muslim concept of the afterlife very appealing and dismiss it as the fantasy of young, immature, chubby, socially awkward, pimple-prone males.  The problem is that Muslims believe in the 72 virgins, and that to be admitted into paradise, they have the obligation and the right to loot and rape with impunity.  Thus, Western countries that have admitted Muslims have seen an epidemic of rapes of native women by Muslim men.  Allowing Muslims into the country is demonstrating not diversity, but stupidity.

Who’s In Charge In Canada, Robespierre?

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 The Atlantic, assisted suicide is now so popular in Canada that doctors cannot keep up with the demand. Appropriately titled Canada is Killing Itselfthe 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.

Peer Reviewed Study Links Covid-19 Jab To Turbo Cancers

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.

Here are the rest of the stats and story

Liberal White Women And The Destruction Of A Civilization

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 Life she 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.

When you are a DEI appointee, break the law, cheat the IRS and be a semi-lunatic about your crime, yes, you are the Asshole of the Week.

The Justice Department has filed a response to Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s lawsuit over her Monday firing – claiming that the President was within his right to boot her over allegations of mortgage fraud (with a third property disclosed by Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte last night), and that Cook is “highly unlikely to prevail on the merits.” 

Trump’s legal team argues that the Federal Reserve Act (FRA) gives the President “broad discretion” to remove governors “for cause” and that courts cannot second-guess that judgment:

The Federal Reserve Act (FRA) empowers the President of the United States to appoint (by and with the advice and consent of the Senate) the members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 12 U.S.C. § 241. Those Governors serve for fixed terms, “unless sooner removed for cause by the President.” Id. § 242. The statute thus expressly contemplates that, even setting aside his Article II authority over principal officers, the President retains broad discretion to remove a Governor for “cause.”

Citing Reagan v. United States (1901) and Dalton v. Specter (1994), they write “Where a statute commits decisionmaking to the discretion of the President, judicial review of the President’s decision is not available,” therefore Cook cannot get a temporary restraining order allowing her to stay in her job.

I Like The Alien Abduction And Interdimensional Travel Story Better

From vanishing aircraft to sinister ghost ships, the Bermuda Triangle is the location of some of the planet’s strangest phenomena.

Now, a scientist claims to have finally solved the mystery.

Located between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda, the Bermuda Triangle’s long history of deadly wrecks has prompted endless supernatural speculation.

However, Dr Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton, says that the real explanation doesn’t involve UFOs or interdimensional portals.

Instead, Dr Boxall says that the Bermuda Triangle’s record of disappearances is due to ‘rogue waves’.

Otherwise known as extreme storm waves, these are unpredictable walls of water that can reach twice the height of the surrounding waves.

Towering up to 100 feet (30 metres) in the air, rogue waves are abnormally steep and can hit unexpectedly from directions other than the prevailing wind.

According to Dr Boxall, a large ship trapped by one of these killer swells could ‘sink in a matter of two or three minutes’.

It could have been Sally Yates, then FBI director who shut down the Hillary Clinton pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation.

“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…

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:

  • Roughly 5,580 nuclear warheads—the largest stockpile on the planet.
  • 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.

Pelosi Outs Herself As A January 6th Architect

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.

Here’s what she said in her X post.

Nancy Pelosi:

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.

There’s a lot more Here. It’s worth a read

He’s Either Going To Get His Ass Beat – Or Epstein’ed

You don’t mess around in prison like this whining. You get tough, mean, sharp and wary. Stay the hell out of everyone’s way and be like a piece of furniture, unnoticed. Once you get noticed, the shit starts.

The inmates making quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger’s time in prison a living hell knew he was coming to the high-security Idaho lockup and planned how they could carry out a campaign of harassment against him, according to a report.

Kohberger was transferred from jail to the only high-security prison in the state after he received four life sentences last month for the gruesome slayings of four University of Idaho students in 2022.

And the prisoners at Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna “were aware he was coming,” former homicide detective Chris McDonough told NewsNation Tuesday.

“The inmates were apparently waiting for him,” said McDonough, who now works for the Cold Case Foundation. “And when he got there, they are now making his life absolutely miserable.”

Kind Of Hard To Ignore That Politically

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.

CDC insists people get MORE COVID shots, despite long list of dangerous side effects

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.

There’s more here if you care. I just do the opposite of what they recommend now and feel much safer.

Here’s The List Of Obama’s Scandals In His “No Scandal” Administration – Liar

Treason isn’t always a single, dramatic act. Sometimes, it’s a slow-acting poison, administered over years to weaken a nation from within.

Barack Obama didn’t just sell secrets; he sold out America’s future, its power, and its pride, one “fundamental transformation” at a time.

He was a traitor in plain sight.

This thread is the toxicology report.🧵Number five will infuriate you.

The Apology Tour. His presidency began with a global tour apologizing for American power. In Cairo, he elevated the Muslim world. In Europe, he denigrated America’s “arrogance.” He signaled to our enemies that the era of American confidence was over, inviting the chaos that followed.

The Betrayal in Benghazi. On September 11, 2012, he left four Americans, including an Ambassador, to die at the hands of terrorists in Libya. Then, he and Hillary Clinton stood over their caskets and lied to their families, blaming a YouTube video to protect his re-election campaign. It was an act of supreme and unforgivable dishonor.

The Iran Nuclear Surrender. He sent pallets of cash, in the dead of night, to the world’s leading state sponsor of terror in Iran. His “deal” did not stop their nuclear program; it funded it. He paved their path to a bomb while alienating our most critical allies in the region, like Israel.

The Syrian “Red Line” Humiliation. He drew a “red line” on Assad’s use of chemical weapons, then did nothing when Assad gassed his own people. This single act of cowardice shattered American credibility on the world stage and gave a green light to adversaries like Vladimir Putin to act with impunity.

The Bergdahl Betrayal. He traded five high-level Taliban commanders—terrorists now back on the battlefield—for Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who deserted his post. In doing so, he betrayed every soldier who risked their life searching for Bergdahl and signaled to the world that America negotiates with terrorists.

The Gutting of the U.S. Military. Through budget sequestration and a deliberate strategy of “leading from behind,” his administration hollowed out our armed forces. He shrunk the Navy, aged the Air Force, and demoralized our troops with social experimentation, leaving America weaker and more vulnerable.

Weaponizing the IRS. His IRS, under Lois Lerner, systematically targeted and persecuted conservative and Tea Party groups to silence them ahead of an election. This was a direct assault on the First Amendment, turning the most feared agency of the state against his own political citizens.

The “Fast and Furious” Scandal. His Department of Justice intentionally allowed thousands of guns to be sold to Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the murder of hundreds, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. They armed our enemies and got an American hero killed.

The Obamacare Deception. He looked the American people in the eye and repeatedly promised, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” It was a calculated, knowing lie—named “Lie of the Year”—designed to defraud the public into accepting a government takeover of their healthcare.

Spying on the Press. His DOJ secretly seized the phone records of Associated Press journalists and formally labeled Fox News reporter James Rosen a “criminal co-conspirator” to monitor his communications. When the press exposed his secrets, he treated them like spies.

The Godfather of the Russia Hoax. The entire seditious conspiracy to frame Donald Trump began in his administration. It was his FBI that launched Crossfire Hurricane. It was his DOJ that obtained the fraudulent FISA warrants. He laid the groundwork for the coup against his successor.

The War on American Energy. He used the EPA as a weapon to block pipelines, kill the coal industry, and strangle domestic oil and gas production with crushing regulations. His policies made America weaker, poorer, and more dependent on foreign dictators for our energy.

Releasing Terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. His administration released hundreds of terrorists and enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay. Unsurprisingly, a significant number returned directly to the battlefield to kill Americans and our allies. He knowingly freed our enemies.

The Shadow President. Even now, he operates a shadow government from his mansion in Washington D.C., coordinating the “resistance” and the Deep State’s war against the current Trump administration. He never relinquished power; he merely moved it into the shadows.

This is not a record of policy differences. It is a clear and undeniable pattern of action designed to weaken America’s standing, security, and sovereignty. This is the charge sheet of a man who worked against the very nation he swore an oath to protect. He must be held accountable.

Beijing Pays Influencers In Africa To Spread Anti-US Messaging

Why do we want to be friends with them? Why did the Clintons and Bidens sell out to them? Money over country?

JOHANNESBURG—Chinese and Russian agents are paying social media influencers in Africa to spread anti-U.S. messages worldwide, with the Trump administration being a top target, media experts say.

Their research reveals that many influencers who use the TikTok platform are earning hundreds to thousands of dollars per month by disseminating misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda that benefits Beijing and Moscow.

The studies align with information presented to Congress on July 22 by U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S. military in Africa.

Analysts say China, Russia, and other malign actors are taking advantage of an information void created by the White House’s decision to cut financial aid to Africa, which has impacted the funding of media previously supported by the U.S. government.

In 2024, the Washington-based Africa Center for Strategic Studies documented nearly 200 pro-Kremlin and pro-China social media campaigns in each major region of Africa, with the Chinese regime’s influencers particularly active in Southern and West Africa.

One of Africa’s most popular social media figures has told The Epoch Times she’s receiving money to distribute information that makes Russia and China “happy.”

This is mostly messages about Trump,” she said, asking that her name be withheld so that she didn’t “anger” her employers and lose income.

She said influencers working for Moscow and Beijing receive payments online via sites that facilitate paid promotions, with South Africa’s Lit marketplace one of the more popular systems.

The money we’re making like this can be a few thousand dollars every month; it all depends on how popular our posts turn out,” she said.

They Buried The Truth To Destroy Trump

excerpt:

Washington was still in a stupor in the weeks following the shocking—at least to some—election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States. Precisely a month after Election Day, the next chapter of the story began.

On December 8, 2016, President Obama was scheduled to receive a classified President’s Daily Brief (PDB) the following day, which would assess Russian interference in the 2016 election. 

The verdict? “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results” through cyber means. The Intelligence Community (IC) expressed only “low-to-moderate confidence” that any foreign operation had even attempted to tamper with election infrastructure.

The facts were clear: no votes had changed, and no election systems had been breached.

Before December 8, internal IC consensus held that Russia lacked both the intent and the capability to corrupt the vote. A September 12 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) had concluded that foreign adversaries “do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyberattacks” on U.S. election infrastructure.

Yet by mid-December, the CIA publicly attributed intent not merely to disrupt but to help Trump win—a stark departure from what agencies, including the FBI and CIA, had privately concluded.

I’m Shocked – Liberal Women Are America’s Unhappiest, Study Finds

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.”
