It’s only a matter of time before AOC and the left’s ‘new hotness’ Jasmine Crockett have a showdown and whoa Nellie, there are going to be some fireworks when that happens.
By the way, when we call the writers at Jacobin ‘communists,’ that’s not us trying to insult them. That’s what they say about themselves. They use the word ‘socialists,’ but they celebrate communism on their website pretty much every day, including regular paeans to Vladimir Lenin. Even MSNBC’s Chris Hayes (or is that Rachel Maddow?) called them far-left extremists. He meant it as a compliment.
These communist tendencies are on full display in the 2021 article that Jacobin pushed on Twitter yesterday. They blast Obama for having a lavish party during Covid, but they blast the lavishness, not the hypocrisy. They HATE that he has luxury estates in Martha’s Vinyard AND Hawaii, of course, which they call ‘tumors.’ And they rip him for tanking Bernie Sanders’ presidential aspirations. But here is the crux of their criticism in calling Obama ‘one of the worst ex-presidents ever’:
They don’t really stand for anything firm, just what they think is right at the moment. They always shoot themselves. After all, when in history has communism ever worked?
I read a lot of documentation about Obama being a Marxist. They are having a hard time keeping the lid on it
Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and now self-proclaimed advocate for government efficiency, has revealed a stunning financial scandal hidden within the depths of our government.
Speaking on Senator Ted Cruz’s Verdict podcast, Musk disclosed the existence of what he calls “magic money computers.”
During the explosive interview, Musk explained how these government computers can conjure up trillions of dollars out of thin air—completely detached from a synchronized network.
According to Musk, 14 such machines have been uncovered across various agencies, mostly at the Treasury Department, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Defense (DOD), and even the State Department.
Musk’s revelations suggest that federal spending is even more chaotic and reckless than the public realizes. With multiple “magic money computers” operating independently, government agencies are issuing massive payments that don’t add up to the numbers being reported to Congress or the American people.
Ted Cruz: Now, one of the things you told me about is what you called Magic Money Computers at the Treasury. Tell us about it because I had never heard of that until you brought it up.
Elon Musk: Okay, so you may think that the government computers all talk to each other, synchronize, add up what funds are going where, and that it’s coherent. And that the numbers, for example, that you’re presented as a senator are actually the real numbers.
Ted Cruz: One would think.
Elon Musk: One would think. They’re not.
Ted Cruz: Yeah.
Elon Musk: They’re not totally wrong, but they’re probably off by 5% or 10% in some cases. I call a magic money computer any computer that can just make money out of thin air. Best magic money.
Ted Cruz: How does that work?
Elon Musk: It just issues payments.
Ted Cruz: You said there’s something like 11 of these computers at Treasury that are sending out trillions in payments?
Elon Musk: They’re mostly at Treasury. Some are at HHS, some at… there’s one at State, some at DOD. I think we’ve found 14 magic money computers now.
Ted Cruz: Fourteen, okay.
Elon Musk: They just send money out of nothing

Great, not only does it add to inflation, it is a new form of bank robbery. Thank you Washington for ruining everything you’ve touched since about Woodrow Wilson
A host of longtime sponsors have begun backing out of their involvement in San Francisco’s 2025 gay “Pride” celebrations, SFGATE reported.
San Francisco Pride, a nonprofit that host’s the city’s annual pride event, has recently been scrambling for other methods to raise $300,000 for this year’s festivities, according to SFGATE. Notably, the news comes amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to crack down on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts nationwide.
San Francisco Pride’s executive director, Suzanne Ford, told the outlet that she was “really disappointed” by the sponsors’ decisions. Sponsors pulling out of the pride event include Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Budweiser and Beck’s beer; wine company La Crema, and Diageo, a beverage company known for producing Guinness, Ford told KTVU-TV in an interview published March 15.
Bulldozing the Amazon rainforest is a fitting way to mark 30 years of failure, of annual gabfests that have released colossal amounts of carbon dioxide from the mouths of the well-meaning, and burned tonnes of aviation fuel to get them there, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions not one bit.
…
Energy scientist, Vaclav Smil puts the total cost of achieving net zero by 2050 at $US444 trillion, or $US17 trillion a year for 25 years, “requiring affluent economies to spend 20 to 25 per cent of their annual GDP on the transition”.
…
So net zero by 2050 won’t happen and the increase in global temperature will not be limited to the 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels that was agreed as preferred at Paris in 2015 – nowhere near it.
It would be a waste of money for something that nobody really wanted, an idea that wouldn’t work, and something that is not necessary except to the globalist Marxists who are trying to run everybody’s business, but should fukc off.
Those zany female pilots are at it again—only this time, they’re clipping wings and careening down the runway. The latest DEI disaster in the skies is just another example of what happens when identity politics trumps qualifications. But before we nosedive into this latest catastrophe, let’s rewind to a recent “girl power” moment that ended in flames.
You probably remember the Endeavor Air runway fiasco—not just a near-miss, but a full-on crash landing. The plane, proudly manned by an all-female crew, touched down upside down and skidded down the tarmac in a fiery spectacle. Passengers were no doubt reliving their worst nightmares as the aircraft scraped across the ground, proving once again that diversity hires don’t make for safe landings.
The airline industry has been hit hard by the left’s dangerous and deadly DEI movement. The once “friendly skies” are now a crapshoot of confusion, chaos, and calamity. And speaking of DEI disasters, we recently covered a story about an FAA supervisor who actually fed test answers to a group of unqualified minority applicants taking an air traffic control exam.
DEI is slowly but surely destroying this country. It’s gotten so bad—so deeply entrenched in every system—that President Trump has made eradicating it a cornerstone of his administration. And not a moment too soon.
Just look at this latest bombshell, courtesy of a Daily Mail exclusive. They got their hands on a voicemail from a DEI activist and FAA supervisor who, according to their report, handed out critical answers to an air traffic control exam—to a select group of minority candidates.
No wonder the once “friendly skies” have turned so deadly…
DEI activist allegedly caught sharing air traffic controller exam answers with minority candidates in leaked audio obtained by the Daily Mail
Shelton Snow, a prominent figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), was caught in a shocking audio clip promising advance access to test answers
‘There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,’ says Snow
‘I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question.’
The inside information was offered in 2014 to African Americans, females, and other minority candidates, while Whites were excluded to “minimize competition.”
It remains unknown how many candidates benefited from Snow’s offer to secure coveted air traffic controller jobs
Snow stated, “We can give you advance access to test answers,” as reported by DailyMail
But one former NBCFAE member, Matthew Douglas, told DailyMail: ‘I know several people who cheated and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak.’

Federal data now shows California fast food employment is down 16,000 jobs since the passage of the state’s $20-per-hour fast food minimum wage last year.
A fast food study from the Berkeley Research Group found California fast food prices increased 14.5% from September 2023 to October 2024, or double the national average.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ quarterly employment survey covers 95% of American jobs, and is considered the gold standard for jobs and wage data. Now its latest report shows California fast food jobs declined from 570,909 in September 2023 to 554,748 in September 2024.
“Some advocates for the fast food minimum wage have already branded the 25% increase a success,” wrote BRG, whose research team included the former head of the state-funded Legislative Analyst’s Office. “According to them, not only have fast food workers received higher pay because of the increase, but the number of jobs available to these workers has increased as well. However, these claims are not supported by reliable data.”
The BRG report notes jobs declined in December 2023, which in this century only occurred during the Great Recession in 2009 and during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and that employers have cut hours and benefits to offset wage increases.
According to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, that’s not happening, citing a UC Berkeley study.
Since his retirement from politics, Barack Obama has displayed an astonishing lack of regard for the public good. Instead of serving his fellow human beings, he has mainly devoted himself to a rigorous program of conspicuous self-celebration.
All summer, millions of Americans this year worried about being evicted from their homes, catching the Delta variant, persuading recalcitrant loved ones to get vaccinated, or whether a COVID resurgence might keep schools closed in the fall. Former president Barack Obama was apparently loftily unbothered by any of these plebeian concerns.
The distinguished memoirist was too busy planning a ginormous sixtieth birthday party for himself on his vast and vulgar Martha’s Vineyard estate, a sprawling 6,892-foot tumor on a beautifully spare coastal landscape, which the Obamas bought in 2019 for $11.75 million. The 475 guests were to include George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey. Even people close to him argued for weeks that as the White House was urging caution, given the recent COVID resurgence, the optics of this shindig were not good. Last week he appeared, for a moment, to be conceding to internal Democratic Party pressure by disinviting most of the guests, limiting the celebration to family and close friends. But that soon turned out to be some kind of head fake.
While Obama’s party might not have caused a deadly outbreak — it was outdoors and the Obamas were requiring guests to be vaccinated — the former president’s birthday bash showed, at a minimum, a cavalier insensitivity to the fears and needs of his neighbors, as well as a general indifference to the political fortunes of his fellow Democrats and the sufferings of Americans. But the kerfuffle shouldn’t surprise close observers of Obama’s ex-presidency, which has been strikingly bereft of public-spiritedness.
He’s distinguished himself as an enemy of labor and friend of racist cops. NBA players began to go on strike last August after Jacob Blake, a black man, was shot by police seven times in front of his kids, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Amid a national uprising over the shooting and many other acts of racist police brutality, Obama called LeBron James and players’ union leader Chris Paul and urged them to get back on the court and finish the playoffs, which they did.
Obama was also instrumental in shutting down Bernie Sanders’s bid for the presidency, a huge setback to the movement for social democracy in the United States. When Sanders was leading in the primaries, Obama worked to organize the other rival candidates to drop out and back Biden, making it impossible for Sanders to win. He then persuaded the democratic socialist senator to drop out of the race.
And let’s not forget Obama’s awful museum in Chicago. The three-memoir author is erecting a garish monument to himself on Jackson Park, which community activists argue will wreak havoc on cherished green space and a fragile ecosystem, as well as upon the legal scaffolding for the very idea of the public interest (we wrote about this late last year).
In addition to his appalling Vineyard manse, Obama is also planning to live in an additional ecological monstrosity in Hawaii — owned by close crony Marty Nesbitt, chair of the Obama Foundation board — and developed for the Obamas. ProPublica reported last year that the Obama’s planned beach house has a controversial sea wall, which protects the estate in storms but is illegal because such structures disrupt the flow of the ocean and contribute to beach loss throughout the state.
The spoiled children of indulgent parents have no conception of gratitude.
In like manner, privileged leftists who enjoy disproportionate protections for free speech have no idea what free speech really means.
According to WNBC in New York, officials at Columbia University in New York City have finally announced punishments for an unspecified number of students who forcibly occupied a building on campus last April as part of pro-Palestinian protests against the war in Gaza.
During those protests, a group of students used furniture and padlocks to barricade themselves inside Hamilton Hall.
The Columbia Daily Spectator, the university’s student newspaper, cited a social media post from a campus organization indicating that the university had suspended, expelled, or revoked the degrees of 22 students in total.
Of course, the announcement of these punishments occurred amid — surprise, surprise — rising tensions on the Ivy League campus.
I’ve known these kids think their shit doesn’t stink because Mommy and Daddy have a lot of money. I’ve had to work with these assholes who really don’t get that good of an education at the Ivy’s unless they have a connection on Wall Street.
Five years ago, saying anything that contradicted the Left’s COVID narrative was a one-way ticket to social media ostracization. The so-called ‘experts’ who told us to stay home, wear masks, and get vaccinated without question called us ‘conspiracy theorists’ and ‘grandma killers.’
No one did more to try and ruthlessly enforce COVID narratives than Dr. Lena Wen, formerly of Planned Parenthood. She demanded vaccine mandates and passports, saying those who didn’t go along with the jab should become prisoners in their own homes (we suppose we should be grateful she didn’t recommend a camp).
Now that the dust has settled and the Left can no longer intimidate us with fears of the latest variant, they can admit some of the things they called ‘conspiracy theories’ in 2020 are true.
The entire post reads:
‘People were concerned about the impact of the vaccines on their menstrual periods. Well as it turns out, there have been studies that have shown that there may be some changes to the menstrual period in the short term.’
‘It’s also true that … you do get some degree of pretty good immunity after having infection.’
As philosopher and statesman Edmund Burke famously said in 1795: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
All those who did nothing are also responsible for the global human rights violations of the covid era. And of course the covid enthusiasts who acted as snitches, and joyfully targeted friends and neighbors for punishment deserve our ire. Beyond that you have those directly responsible, the media which utterly failed in their duty as the 4th estate resorting instead to publishing Big Pharma and government issues talking points as “news”; the medical community, with few exceptions; the academics; the teachers; I could go on.
The vaccine (and of course mandates — which people lost jobs over) have disappeared from public consciousness. I mean does anyone actually get that thing anymore?
We are still reminded of masks, as any good leftist protesting about anything — from Teslas and DOGE to “freeing Palestine” to protesting in favor of kids taking mutilating, life-altering hormones to “become” the opposite sex — dons one, still. It is the uniform of “good lefties” or what I would call the “unhinged.” Which it always was really.
There has been no denunciation of those that drove lockdowns and distancing and toddler masking. These public health bureaucrats should be run out of their jobs and never be allowed to set any policy (or “make recommendations”) again. Randi Weingarten should not have any job that has any bearing on children’s lives.
Sure Fauci has retired. But people like Barbara Ferrer (LA) and Sara Cody (Santa Clara county) still hold their positions after destroying small businesses and locking kids out of school for a year and a half and putting disrupted schooling in place for another year after that. And, of course, they force masked 2 year olds as well as speech delayed toddlers and hearing impaired adolescents. This was state sanctioned child abuse from the outset. So forgive me, but the modest acknowledgement that maybe we went too far, brings cold comfort.
I do not feel redeemed. I just feel angry, still, when I think about it. I mostly try not to.
So many kids’ lives were altered and harmed forever. So many milestones they can never get back. And if these concerns were raised at the time (remember drive through graduations?) parents were mocked for saying those things mattered. They were Karens and racists and murderers and selfish for thinking any of that mattered and every stupid vilifying name the idiotic covid hysterics could think of was trained on us.
I believe that COVID-19 has been a kind of hydrostatic stress test for each place and each person around the world. Each system’s weakness has been revealed. Countries overburdened with regulations have been punished for their over regulation. Countries that have a penchant for authoritarian and/or incompetent leaders have had those leaders exposed. And countries that have factious, distrustful cultures have paid the price for their factious, distrustful cultures.
This stress test has occurred within our individual lives, as well. Couples that had been burying their problems for years quickly had them exposed. Weak and opportunistic friendships got washed out. Fragile careers were broken. Miserable lifestyles replaced.
But the stress test of hardship doesn’t just expose weakness, it also reinforces strength. Good relationships become better. Important decisions get made. Priorities get straightened out.
If ever a story perfectly encapsulated the hypocrisy of elitists who want to enslave and impoverish the planet in the name of the global warming hoax, this is it:
A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.
It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people – including world leaders – at the conference in November.
Cutting down rainforest is particularly bad from the viewpoint of the climate ideology that will be espoused at the summit:
The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.
Not at all. The purpose of a climate summit is to engage in virtue signaling while angling to achieve more power over the Little People. John Kerry never misses one, thanks to private jets always being at hand for him.
What a bunch of hypocrites. I can’t believe they expect us to believe their climate scares to get more money. Go Elon and DOGE, cut their legs out from under them by eliminating their grifting.
In the latest twist in the DEI scandal that’s rocked the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic controller testing, a diversity activist was allegedly caught in a recorded message promising answers to a behavioral examination for prospective controllers — but only if they were minorities or women.
While rumors of the answers being leaked to the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees have been in the public domain since well before the DEI scandal burst following a collision between a jetliner and a military helicopter on the approach to Ronald Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., in January, the recording of Shelton Snow — a major figure in the NBCFAE — obtained by the U.K.’s Daily Mail seems to confirm those rumors.
“There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,” Snow said in the message, first published Wednesday.
“I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question,” he added.
“Washington Suburban associate members, brothers, and sisters … I know that each of you are eager, very eager to apply for this job vacancy … and trust that after tonight, you will be able to do so,” he said.
“I am asking that you … allow me to provide you with an email that will be extremely crucial in the opening stages of this hiring process,” he added.
“There is some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of, and I’m going to send that to you via email. Trust and believe it will be something that you will appreciate to the utmost. Keep in mind, we are trying to maximize your opportunities.”
As the Daily Mail noted, the message came in 2014, after the Obama-era FAA “had controversially replaced its peer-reviewed cognitive exam with a ‘biographical’ quiz asking things like ‘how would you describe your ideal job’ and ‘classmates would remember me as humble or dominant?’
“Critics say the quixotic blend of multiple-choice questions was designed to screen out elite, mostly white students from FAA-accredited college courses who excelled in traditional aptitude tests,” the outlet noted. “Nonetheless, it was proving incredibly tricky for anyone to pass — with a 90 percent failure rate — when Snow decided to intervene.”
A Jan. 15, 2014 email from Snow, who was then president of the Washington Suburban chapter of the NBCFAE, laid out ways to stand out from the rest — including “buzz words” to be incorporated into applications.
“These buzzwords will flag your resume, thereby giving you the advantage over thousands of resumes that may flood the system,” he said.
Meanwhile, an agenda Snow set for a December 2013 “powwow” encouraged members to share that they were with the NBCFAE.
“This is for us to know who our people are in the case that we have one of our own on the board,” the agenda read.
Let me explain just how unfreakingbelievably corrupt the state of Nevada is…and how poorly our government covered up the Las Vegas shooting.
• John Pelletier is a well known corrupt POS in this town. Not only is he being accused of kidnapping a P Diddy rape victim by force, not only is he the same guy that got sent to Maui with a hefty raise to cover up for the fires there, but he was also the incident commander for the Las Vegas shooting. You know…that little “thing” where 59 people were murdered and the media dropped the story after only 2 weeks, because so many holes were popping up in the government’s story?
• What many people don’t know, is that the same corrupt Sheriff Joe Lombardo that let evidence walk off his crime seen, refused to name or investigate the 3 other people registered to Paddock’s room that night, and made up 3 different timelines until the casinos were pleased that they weren’t liable…..”won” Governor here, despite being hated and booed everywhere in public in a primary where over 40,000 people couldn’t vote due to a “DMV glitch.” (And yes the margin of winning between him and Joey Gilbert was less than that, and there was no redo or audit despite thousands of people including me petitioning for one.
• We are also home to a scum sucking, 4-time arrested Attorney General Aaron Ford that they want us to believe “won” reelection despite starting a crime wave and having some of the most violent, dangerous schools in America. This is also the same guy that wanted to revoke castle doctrine, so that home owners could be sued if someone broke into their homes and they defended themselves. When I asked via DM why he would ever do that….his answer was “what if the person breaking into your house was innocent?” It might be worth mentioning that one of his arrests included breaking and entering into his ex-girlfriend’s house…so that’s why he was pushing it. Last I checked, he had me illegally blocked on Twitter.
• This also the same county where Commisioner Tick Segerblom finally went viral after years of me trying to get the story out, for admitting he was a “minor attracted person” (pedo) on video. He’s the same guy that’s been pushing drag queens on little kids here, and certified his own fraudulent race despite over 3 and a 1/2 hours of testimony from poll watchers that couldn’t watch, and voters that couldn’t vote.
• Then there’s my congresswoman Susie Lee who I ran against in 2020. She’s currently complaining about all the wasteful cuts they’re making through Doge….despite having committed insider trading to the tune of millions, owning dozens of homes, 2 private jets, and receiving covid relief funds for her husbands casinos. Kevin McCarthy and the GOP chose to back my violent opponent Dan Rodimer over me much to the dismay of local patriots….and Rodimer was just convinced of MURDER a few months ago, just like I had tried to warn everyone about.
• You see, Michael McDonald, Jesse Law, Alida, and the rest of the Nevada GOP RINO scumbags have been gatekeeping and working with the Dems this entire time to maintain their corrupt status quo. No one that is America First is even allowed to win here, and fake candidates like Scam Brown are propped up to lose specifically so they can profit off their campaign funds.
I have been screaming from the rooftops to the deaf ears of the local fake news outlets and BS mainstream media for years now. Below I will include the full length documentary I put together after half a year of reading every police and FBI report, listening to hundreds of 911 calls, and interviewing first responders on the down low.
They murdered us here like fish in a barrel….this shooting is solvable if only someone would get with me and the other investigators that worked on this. Our government will continue to mow us down with false flags and “shooters previously known to Feds” until we stand up and finally do something about it!
A high school track runner in Virginia is facing assault and battery charges after she was seen on video striking a competing runner with a baton during a relay race, leaving her with a concussion and a possible fractured skull.
Viral footage showed I.C. Norcom High School runner Alaila Everett strike Brookville High School junior Kaelen Tucker as she overtook Everett during a 4×200 meter relay race at Liberty University in Lynchburg last Tuesday.
“Eventually after a couple times of hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back like this, and it rolled up her back,” Everett said. “I lost my balance, when I pumped my arms again she got hit.”
JUST IN: Track runner Alaila Everett charged with assault & battery after hitting a runner in the head with a baton at a track meet.
Everett claims her hand simply slipped which resulted in the other runner Kaelen Tucker, getting a concussion & possibly fractured skull.
“I would never do that on purpose,” Everett said in a Tuesday interview with “Good Morning America.” “That’s not in my character.”
Tucker, demanding an apology, also described the incident to WSLS earlier this week, saying, “When you go to the other side of the track, you have to cross into lane one, you have to merge in. As I was coming up on her, she kind of like made me get cut off a little bit, so I backed away…Then, as we got around the curve, she kept bumping me in my arm. Then finally we got off the curve, I like slowly started passing her and then that’s when she just hit me with the baton and I fell off the track.”
Doctors told her she’d suffered a concussion and possible skull fracture.
Portsmouth NAACP defended Everett ahead of charges being announced, writing, “Alaila is NOT AN ATTACKER and media headlines that allude towards that in any way is shameful. We understand the sensitivity of the circumstances for both athletes and their families involved but this narrative must not go unaddressed.”
The statement continued: “Alaila is an honor student and a star athlete at the historic I.C. Norcom High School. From all accounts, she is an exceptional young leader and scholar whose athletic talent has been well documented and recognized across our state. She has carried herself with integrity both on and off the field and any narrative that adjudicates her guilty of any criminal activity is a violation of her due process rights.”
Following an investigation, Lynchburg Commonwealth Attorney Bethany Harris charged Everett with misdemeanor assault and battery on Wednesday, Mar. 12.
It’s how the goat herders take over a country. When the invaders won’t assimilate into the culture, they start their own and the next thing you know, it’s not your country.
New figures have revealed that almost one million people in England struggle to speak English, with many unable to communicate in the language at all. The data, obtained from the 2021 Census and shared with the Conservative Party by the UK Statistics Authority last month, highlights the challenges of integration in a country experiencing high levels of migration, reports the Sun.
According to the statistics, 10 percent of England’s foreign-born population—equivalent to 932,208 people—speak little or no English. Of these, 794,332 people (8.6 percent) reported that they cannot speak English well, while 137,876 (1.4 percent) cannot speak it at all. In contrast, just over half of migrants aged 16 and older say English is their main language, and 38.4 percent believe they speak it well.
The findings have prompted Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp to criticize Labour’s immigration policies. “It beggars belief that so many people in the country can’t speak English,” he said, calling on the government to “get a grip on immigration.”
England’s population stood at 67.6 million in mid-2022 and is expected to rise to 72.5 million by mid-2032, according to separate figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Net migration is estimated to average just under 631,000 this year, down from the record-breaking 906,000 in recent years, according to the Daily Mail.
A new search tool unveiled Friday increases public access to information about the connections between advisors to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccine policy and the pharmaceutical industry.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) discusses epidemiological studies, weighs the benefits and side effects reported in clinical trials, and makes recommendations to the CDC on the routine vaccination schedules for children and adults. The ACIP’s recommendations inform which shots are reimbursed by health plans. In a bid to enhance transparency around the process, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has enabled users to search which advisors reported potential conflicts of interest and recused themselves from casting a vote affecting a drugmaker they had ties to.
The new tool is consistent with pledges by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restore trust in the nation’s health agencies lost during the pandemic through increased information.
“In alignment with HHS Secretary Kennedy’s commitment to radical transparency, CDC released a tool for Americans to easily access conflicts of interest for ACIP committee members,” a CDC spokesman said in an email. “Rather than conflicts of interest being buried within meeting minutes, this tool quickly provides the public with ACIP members’ conflicts of interest.”
The ACIP became a flashpoint for controversy during the COVID-19 pandemic, reenergizing concerns about payments advisors receive from the pharmaceutical industry.
A man was arrested early Monday for allegedly driving while intoxicated after he failed to stop at a flashing red light and struck a Dallas police squad car.
The crash occurred near Dallas Love Field Airport on Cedar Springs Road and Manor Way around 3 a.m. while the police officer was traveling northward on a routine call, according to Fox 4 KDFW.
A Chevy Camaro was heading west at the same time and allegedly ran the red light, hitting the Dallas police squad car. The impact caused the officer’s vehicle to veer off the road, while the Camaro crashed into a utility pole.
The intersection is controlled by flashing lights; the officer had a flashing yellow, while the driver of the Camaro had a flashing red light, police said, as reported by Fox 4.
Neither the male driver nor the female passenger was injured in the incident. The unidentified man was arrested for driving while intoxicated.
ICE arrests anti-Israel activist behind Columbia protests as green card hangs in the balance
FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump’s Department of Education announced Monday that 60 universities are currently under investigation for “antisemitic discrimination and harassment,” Fox News Digital has learned.
“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement.
“U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal antidiscrimination laws.”
Sooner or later, these indoctrination and elitist club facilities are going to gut themselves by their dissociation from the norms of the rest of society. I’ve been exposed to it for decades by having to work with these people. Almost in every case they are less qualified to do the work we needed and came in on school reputation rather than meritocracy
Let’s take a trip to Virginia, where a high school track and field meet escalated into violence after an athlete allegedly assaulted her opponent by blasting them on the head with a baton in the middle of a relay race.
One of the worst things of the four years in which Joe Biden occupied the White House was that Democrats covered up and didn’t care about his cognitive condition — until it was a threat to their control.
He’s had issues for years and we all saw it, but they wanted us to believe he was just fine and could even run for reelection. The horrible thing to think of is how many things went wrong because of this. The idea of the 25th Amendment was to protect the country. But the Democrats cared more about control.
The problem wasn’t just Biden. We’ve seen the problem for example of people of advanced age in both houses of Congress. We reported in December about how Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) was missing from votes for months and was actually in an assisted living facility. She’s no longer in office because her term was up in January.
But now lawmakers are dishing about how many of their colleagues have big problems with their mental faculties.
Up to a dozen members of Congress reportedly have mental faculties so diminished they can no longer do their jobs — with some even showing up drunk or stoned to cast votes.
“There’s no question that somewhere between six and a dozen of my colleagues are at a point where they’re … I think they don’t have the faculties to do their job,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn) told Politico, which spoke to 25 members of the House and Senate who spilled the tea on their unnamed colleagues.
A Republican colleague concurred, with an important addendum.
“I have a difficult time sometimes telling between the deterioration of members and a handful who are just not very smart,” the unnamed lawmaker said.
Yikes. Either way, that’s incredibly concerning. They didn’t identify the people they were speaking about. But up to a dozen who are no longer able to do their jobs is a serious problem. That’s not providing adequate representation. Again, if that’s true, what you’re talking about is their staff probably running things, just as was done with Biden.
Himes revealed that a lot of people were also voting when they weren’t completely sober.
“Every time we do an 11 p.m. vote, a minority of the chamber has a zero blood alcohol content. Now, that’s different than voting drunk. I don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody demonstrably drunk on the floor,” Himes noted.
Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) claimed to have seen one GOPer who “show[ed] up drunk” several times — and that “there were one or two Dems I thought might be high on something, but not drunk.”
What do they think they are doing? Does anyone other than MSNBC or CNN think this is normal?
This will be my third story before BREAKFAST mocking the Democrats, and it’s not exactly the healthiest way to start a day. I’m just being honest here. Do you know how taxing it is to deal with these people before my percolator is even empty yet?
It’s exhausting. I’m already dipping, and it’s not even 9:30 yet. It’s bad. But, I’m a patriot, and I have to call ’em as I see ‘em.
I can let some of the nonsense slide – you almost have to at this point because it’s just a firehose – but when I see something like what you’re about to witness, I have no choice but to write about it.
It’s my duty. I took an oath when I joined OutKick to not give these lunatics an inch, and I’m doing just that.

The three little pigs were rescued from the big, bad wolf.
Three piglets that were left to starve to death as part of a shocking art exhibit in Denmark have been stolen and saved from their horrific fate thanks to a 10-year-old girl begging her father to come to their rescue.

Artist Marco Evaristti opened the “And Now Your Care?” exhibit on Friday in Copenhagen to “wake up the Danish society” to the cruel treatment of factory-farmed pigs in the nation that is one of the world’s largest pork exporters.
To make his point, the native Chilean constructed a cage of hay and shopping carts, trapping a trio of adorable piglets inside with the express purpose of allowing them to starve to death.
But the tiny pigs have been given a second chance at life after the conscience of a friend of the artist, Caspar Steffensen, prevailed over the unsavory demonstration.
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.
What do you do during the day? It seems innocuous, but here’s why it isn’t for me. (the real answer is that I mind my own damn business and get done what needs doing).
I retired early and being a good introvert, I stay to myself, don’t bother others (especially with personal questions). I do normal introvert things like read and write a lot. I go about my business, get exercise usually for hours, do house repairs, help others, go to bible studies or other events, etc.
The point is that I don’t keep detailed records of what I do. I go about my business and try to stay out of other people’s business.
This question started with a relative I nicknamed Flounder from Animal House, for all the reasons Dean Wormer described about how not to go through life. Flounder went between high paying jobs to bankruptcy due to money mismanagement (spent like a drunken sailor). We’ve never been particularly close because we are so different and shit like this makes me not want to try very hard.
It should be noted that if I give someone a nickname in life, it’s not a good sign of how I feel about them.
Every conversation was, “What do you do all day, sweep the floors?” In fact, it was one of the things I did because I like a clean house. It was a shitty question though and it became monotonos. I’d just rather not have a conversation than discuss that. I finally turned it on him by saying most people ask me that because they wonder what they’ll be doing when they retire. He had no real answer as he defined himself by his job his wife told me.
Nevertheless, the condescending attitude was not even masked. I, the consummate introvert couldn’t defend the question on cue. I’d think of what I wrote above in the hours after the discussion when it didn’t matter.
Still, I hate the idea of anyone 1) intruding on my life and what I do unless I choose to talk about it and 2) getting this condescending attitude because I was able to retire early and it was a part of my life plan. (note: I saved, invested, and paid off all of my debt early to be able to do it. Flounder was in debt above his head and lost millions on houses and valuables he borrowed to get. He had to work until almost 70 and thought he was a big shot until his next firing.
Now, I’m still retired and set for the rest of my days. Flounder lives with one of his kids as he lost both of his houses. Do I ask what do you do all day? Hell no. I don’t want to know what he does, but it’s an intruding question.
Note: I got this question from one of my wife’s friends Randi when I said I was going to retire early. What are you going to do was the very next statement. I answered and got, and then what are you going to do.
Randi isn’t a part of our life anymore because of her shitty attitude. I couldn’t stand to be around her either. She was snarky when saying it and those things don’t get past me easily.
Hey Randi, I’m retired early and am loving life, doing what I want. That’s what I do all day. I go about my business.
This ends with the story about the kid eating all of his candy. A man said that isn’t good for you to which the kid said my uncle lived to be 120. The man asked if it was eating so much candy and the boy responded no, it was because he minded his own business.
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
I’ve learned more from my mistakes than my success.
I expect to win or be successful at what I do now. I’ve paid enough dues in life and have learned enough lessons at the school of hard knocks that I should be doing things correctly by now. (I hope I don’t eat those words).
Life was tough growing up. I had no manual and a couple of siblings who rooted against me the whole time. It almost forced my will to overcome and to not only win, but to overachieve at whatever I did.
Along the way though, failure at tasks, life, relationships, and a lot of other things taught me more lessons than success. I hate losing and I hate screwing up. I only want to fix something once. That’s easy to do with carpentry, electrical, plumbing and repair. It’s damn near impossible with relationships.
I know the Tom Brady’s of the world must hate losing more than anything. He learned how to win. That’s how I feel about it.
Yes, I’m waiting for the list and how many times both Clinton and Adam Schiff were boning underage kids. Schiff is reported to have had 256 separate contacts with Epstein.
You’d think that the most guilty would keep a low profile, but Schiff couldn’t keep his mug off of the camera while trying to convict Trump.
Maybe one day the information will get out of the FBI and the DOJ. It must be a doozy for them to be obfuscating it this much
A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They’ve created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical engineering, capable of gripping and making gestures. This innovation paves the way for a new generation of robotics with diverse applications.

Bridging biology and robotics
While soft robots and advanced prosthetics are becoming increasingly common, the combination of living tissue and machines is still relatively rare. The field of biohybrid science is in its infancy, with only a few examples, such as artificial fish powered by human heart cells or robots using locust ears for hearing. This new biohybrid hand represents a significant step forward in the practical application of this technology.
So, how did they do it? The team started by growing muscle fibers in the lab. Recognizing that these delicate tissues wouldn’t be strong enough on their own, they bundled them into what they call “multiple tissue actuators,” or MuMuTAs. “Our key achievement was developing the MuMuTAs,” said Shoji Takeuchi from the University of Tokyo.
Takeuchi is the co-author of a study describing the creation that was published in the journal Science Robotics. Shoji explained that creating MuMuTAs was their key achievement. By rolling the thin strands of muscle tissue like a sushi roll, they ensured enough contractile force and length to drive the hand’s movements.

Like a real hand
One of the most remarkable findings was that the biohybrid hand experienced fatigue, just like a real human hand. After 10 minutes of use, the force of the tissue declined, but it recovered within an hour of rest. This observation highlights the lifelike properties of the engineered muscle tissues.
Takeuchi and his team acknowledge that their creation is currently a proof of concept. During the study, the hand was floated in a liquid to minimize friction, and adding elastic or more MuMuTAs would solve the issue of the segments floating back to a neutral position after being flexed. However, by bundling the tissue together, they overcame a major hurdle in scaling up biohybrid devices. Previously, such devices were limited to about a centimeter in size.

The potential
The development of MuMuTAs marks an important milestone in mimicking biological systems, which requires scaling up their size. While the field of biohybrid robotics is still young, this technology has the potential to revolutionize advanced prosthetics. It could also serve as a valuable tool for understanding muscle tissue function, testing surgical procedures, and developing drugs that target muscle tissues.
Kurt’s key takeaways
The biohybrid hand is a remarkable achievement that blends biology and engineering. While still in its early stages, this technology offers a glimpse into a future where robots possess lifelike movement and responsiveness. The development of MuMuTAs has overcome significant hurdles, paving the way for advanced prosthetics and a deeper understanding of muscle tissue function.
Man Has No Choice But To Divorce His Wife After Catching Her Cheating On Him With Another Couple
There were many red flags over their 18-year relationship that were noticed, but for the most part brushed aside and ignored. That ended when he caught his wife sneaking their sex toy back into the house.
It was at that moment he was able to connect all the dots. The man realized that he was being cheated on by his wife and that she was cheating on him with her best friend and her best friend’s fiancé.
Better yet, have you seen the South Park episode about the Museum of Tolerance? When I watch these videos or read anything hive mind-like, I hear the many people in the audience repeat in the same voice, “The museum tells us!”
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
Some of the characters in this story aren’t going to make it to the end.
Unless you make the inner circle, you’re probably going to have to go, or at least wait a long time to get me to do something with you.
The introvert joke says that people die in my autobiography, but I’m not going to kill anyone. It’s more like avoiding them until they go away or just keep saying no to doing shit together that I don’t want to do.
While President Donald Trump has been tackling LGBTQ+ activism at the federal level, Iowa has become the first state to pass a bill that removes gender identity from the state’s civil rights law. On Friday, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, signed SF418, which made its way to her desk with a 33-15 vote in the Senate and a 60-36 vote in the House. The legislation eliminates “gender identity” as a protected class under the Iowa Civil Rights Act. It also defines sex as “the state of being either male or female as observed or clinically verified at birth.” The text goes on to define other terms such as “male” and “female,” and it states that the term “gender” will be regarded as a “synonym for sex.”
The legislation does not allow changes to birth certificates after an individual undergoes “gender-affirming care,” and it ensures that Iowa’s school curriculum does not promote “gender theory or sexual orientation to students in kindergarten through grade six.”
The bill also explains that any “person born with a medically verifiable diagnosis of disorder or difference of sex development shall be provided the legal protections and accommodations afforded under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and applicable state law.”
In a statement, Reynolds said this bill “safeguards the rights of women and girls.” She also emphasized that “it is common sense to acknowledge the obvious biological differences between men and women.” Yet, “unfortunately, these commonsense protections were at risk because, before I signed this bill, the Civil Rights Code blurred the biological line between the sexes.”
Reynolds continued, “That is unacceptable to me, and it is unacceptable to most Iowans. … We are all children of God, and no law changes that. What this bill does accomplish is to strengthen protections for women and girls, and I believe that is the right thing to do.”
Prominent Democrats lack at least five essential qualities: intelligence, wisdom, basic decency, a filter, and recognition of their own interests.
No one personifies those gargantuan deficiencies more than Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas.
In an interview Sunday with MSNBC’s Alex Witt, host of “Alex Witt Reports,” Crockett put all of those deficiencies on display when she labeled President Donald Trump “an enemy to the United States.”
“Unfortunately, we have someone that is occupying the White House,” Crockett said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.
Note her use of the word “occupying” to denote a duly elected president.
Then came Crockett’s most reckless, reprehensible, and unhinged comment to-date.
“And as far as I’m concerned he is an enemy to the United States,” she said.
To remove the possibility of a metaphorical interpretation, the congresswoman continued in that same vein.
“He swore an oath just like the rest of us,” she said. “But right now, when you are literally putting us at risk all ’cause of what — because you want to convince your followers that you should be a dictator, too, that you should never leave the White House, because you don’t believe that elections should take place. I don’t really understand what is going on, and I don’t know what it’s gonna take to get people to wake up.”
The DEI Con has enriched thousands of hustlers nationwide. It has embedded many hundreds of apparatchiks and supernumeraries in college bureaucracies, and it will require herculean efforts to root them all out. And it continues to attack the average person for the most dubious of ideologically motivated reasons in “training” sessions, both on the campuses and in corporate America.
I first heard the actual acronym DEI expressed while I was in a 7-11 on the campus during the early days of the COVID pandemic, and it was two masked graduate students discussing the wonderful employment possibilities of this new initiative, which sounded like someone trying to monetize kumbaya. Already steeped in leftist ideology and its tactic of renaming and relabeling its hooey for new generations of suckers, I was only vaguely aware that this was just the latest brand for the newest social justice foray in higher education.
Anyone on a college campus subjected to the mediocrity of a DEI hustler knew there was something wrong with it.
It was not noble. It was not idealistic. It was not the many wonderful things its proponents said. It was one thing to the public, and it was another altogether when enacted on the campuses. It was weird and alien and hateful at its core, but the public is rarely exposed to any of this. It was the classic Potemkin village offering, with a façade masking a brute, racialist substance.
In other words, it was a con. In fact, it was the biggest Con Story of the 21st century, with America’s universities the biggest suckers imaginable. And the crowning achievement of Western civilization—the modern university—tottered under the assault of mediocrity, racialism, and pseudoscience.
I suppose that folks duped by the big cons will eventually retreat in their embarrassment at having been fooled by one of the shadiest Con Stories ever deployed. Even now, DEI is in retreat. As it plays out in its final act, I assure you that it will dissipate in a flurry of new acronyms and new labels designed to hide its failure.
Its proponents will roll out new slogans to replace the vapid “Diversity is our strength.” Already, “inclusive excellence” is supplanting DEI as this trusty acronym becomes freighted with failure. The Con Story will morph and adapt. Reluctantly. Buzzwords will change, new slogans will be coined, but the underlying ideology will remain the same as it always has. It must serve yeoman’s duty for the Big Con.
Elaborate and elegant Con Stories have played major political roles for centuries, baiting and hooking marks with promises of utopia. The most convincing Con Story of them all is that of Karl Marx, whose fabulous pseudoscience has duped millions of the credulous to support murderous regimes in the name of “social justice.” It still does.
It has been one of the biggest lies for people who don’t want to work as hard as others or want something for free. A lot of people stole a lot of money for doing nothing.
Bias based on any skin color is racism, even white.
The Institute for Family Studies recently analyzed findings from the annual American Family Survey. It found 37% of conservative women ages 18-40 said they were completely satisfied with life. But only 12% of liberal women that age were. That’s a shocking disparity, but it’s not an outlier finding.
In 2021, Columbia University professors put out a study on depression among 12th graders, looking at data from 2005 to 2018. They found “female liberals reported worse internalizing symptom scores over the study period than all other groups.”
A 2017 study by a Penn State University professor noted “politically conservative participants were significantly more optimistic and satisfied with life than their liberal counterparts.”
A 2008 study in Psychological Science asked, “Why are conservatives happier than liberals?” It cited a 2006 Pew survey showing 47% of conservative Republicans called themselves “very happy,” while only 28% of liberal Democrats did the same.
The researchers from Columbia speculated that political events might have contributed to liberal depression. Republicans made political gains in the 2010s, including the election of then-President Donald Trump. The researchers claimed issues like global warming, structural racism, and pervasive sexism “became unavoidable features of political discourse.”
The implication is that liberals are depressed because they care so much about the world’s problems.
While that may sound noble, stressing out about something that you can’t control isn’t a virtue. It can lead to “learned helplessness.” If people believe their choices won’t improve things, they often give up or make worse choices. Little wonder researchers often connect learned helplessness to depression.
While this is a factor, there’s a deeper explanation.
Feminists originally argued for equal opportunity in voting, education, and the workplace. That happened. But second-wave feminists went further. They disparaged marriage and religion as tools of the patriarchy. They didn’t view children as a source of deep meaning and fulfillment, but rather as an obstacle to career success.
Third- and fourth-wave feminists went beyond that. Many contend that different outcomes between men and women are solely the result of societal expectations. These ideas have gone so far that leftists now claim men can become women. Why some men would willingly give up the power of the patriarchy is never quite explained.
These ideas have gained tremendous cultural power, especially on the Left. As a result, liberals are less likely to be married, go to church, or have kids. But these choices haven’t brought joyous liberation. Just the opposite.
As Brad Wilcox lays out in his book “Get Married,” married men and women are around twice as likely to be very happy as their single counterparts. An obvious factor in that is loneliness. Single childless adults are more than twice as likely as married individuals to say they’re always or almost always lonely, Wilcox noted. Historically, single individuals found community and connection in a church or synagogue. But liberals are less likely to attend religious services.
If women want to be happy, they should embrace what modern feminists falsely claim is the patriarchy.
I’ve never seen a happy feminist, they are always whining about things not being fair. It’s like DEI, don’t expect something for free in life. Stop swimming upstream to the sharks

Thirteen people were injured, including one critically, in a terrorist car-ramming attack at a bus stop near the Karkur Junction, east of Caesarea, according to police and medical officials.
Eli Bin, director-general of the Magen David Adom emergency response group, said that paramedics treated casualties with injuries of varying degrees, including two seriously wounded people. The victim that sustained critical wounds is a 17-year-old girl, MDA confirmed.
Israel Police spokesperson Aryeh Doron told the Channel 12 channel that “after carrying out the car-ramming at the bus stop, the terrorist drove another few hundred meters, hitting an officer and his car.” He was “eliminated” at the scene shortly after the incident, Doron added.
Israeli Police Commissioner Daniel Levy arrived at the scene of the attack.
The terrorist was subsequently identified by authorities as a 53-year-old Palestinian from the Jenin area in nearby northern Samaria who was illegally residing in the Jewish state while married to an Arab citizen of Israel.

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

That’s exactly what she did when she was a guest Wednesday on “The View.”
Crockett was asked about a broad sentiment among voters that President Donald Trump is keeping his campaign promises, a reality they are rewarding with substantial approval ratings, coupled with a struggling Democratic Party seen by many as too left-wing.

$50 million worth of condoms to Gaza being near the top of the list — I know, I know, not THAT Gaza, Gaza in Mozambique (as if that somehow makes it better?).
But there may be a new king of the hill when it comes to ridiculous payments: $52 million to the rich world “elites” over at the World Economic Forum!
That news just broke in this list of new DOGE savings from this week:
Man In Relationship With Wife & Her Mom Impregnates Both Women At Same Time
Really, Boning your mother-in-law? What’s more, it says in the article that many have contacted him in a similar situation. Incest anyone?
A couple of content creators/social media influencers grabbed attention in some corners of the internet last year when they revealed that they had added a third person to their relationship. It wasn’t just anyone, it was the woman’s mom.
Nick Yardy and his wife Jade sat down for an interview last November about opening up their relationship and revealed that Jade’s mom, Dani, had joined them. The video was titled “How Having 2 Wives Saved My Relationship.”
Before your thoughts get too far out there, let’s clear some things up. Yes, they all shoot content for OnlyFans. No, they don’t all participate together. That would be weird. Nick is a gentleman and takes turns with the loves of his life.
Fast-forward to last week and the big happy family had some news to share. They announced, in another video, that “We’re Pregnant.” According to the trio, who have been together for a little over a year and a half, Nick has impregnated his wife and his other wife, her mom.
Other than Dylan Mulvany ruining Bud Light, Kennedy is the only one who comes close in terms of using wokeness to ruin a franchise.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood and the passionate Star Wars fandom, Kathleen Kennedy, the longtime president of Lucasfilm, is reportedly set to retire by the end of 2025.
After more than a decade steering one of Disney’s most iconic franchises into the ground, Kennedy’s departure marks the end of an era defined by ambitious expansion, woke creative decisions, and a relentless push to modernize a galaxy far, far away. The news—first reported by industry insider Matthew Belloni of Puck—has sparked widespread speculation about the future of Star Wars and its place within Disney’s sprawling empire.
Kennedy’s tenure began in 2012 when she joined Lucasfilm as co-chair alongside founder George Lucas. Months later, Disney acquired the studio for $4 billion, Lucas stepped away, and Kennedy ascended to the presidency.
Handpicked by Lucas himself, she brought a storied resume, having co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and produced cultural juggernauts like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and the Indiana Jones series. Her task at Lucasfilm was monumental: revive Star Wars for a new generation while honoring its legacy.
She failed miserably.
Under Kennedy’s leadership, Disney launched the Star Wars sequel trilogy, beginning with 2015’s The Force Awakens, which grossed over $2 billion worldwide and reignited global fervor for the franchise. The trilogy, concluding with 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, raked in more than $4.4 billion combined, though it faced diminishing returns and fierce backlash from some fans over its narrative direction.
Spin-offs like Rogue One (2016) and Solo (2018) followed, alongside a bold pivot to streaming with Disney+ series such as The Mandalorian, Andor, and The Acolyte. The Mandalorian, in particular, became a cultural phenomenon, proving Star Wars could thrive beyond the big screen.
The Acolyte, on the other hand, was panned as a woke expression of personal failures that woefully found themselves polluting the failed project.
Critics—especially vocal segments of the fanbase—accused her of steering the franchise toward radical leftist territory, citing diverse casting and progressive themes as departures from Lucas’s original vision. High-profile stumbles, like the cancellation of The Acolyte after one season due to low viewership, and the debacle of 2023’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, fueled calls for her ouster.
Elon Musk famously piled on, branding her “more deadly than the Death Star” in 2024 for her creative choices. Even South Park took a swipe, lampooning her as a symbol of Disney’s pandering.
A dramatic near-miss at Chicago’s Midway Airport forced a Southwest Airlines plane to abort its landing after a small jet unexpectedly crossed the runway.
A video of the shocking incident has surfaced, showing the Southwest aircraft performing a last-second “touch and go” maneuver to avoid disaster.
The close call is reminiscent of a similar situation at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in December, when a Delta jet nearly collided with a plane carrying the Gonzaga men’s basketball team.
The Midway incident adds to a growing list of aviation scares in 2025. While data shows air travel remains statistically safe, a series of crashes and near-misses have raised public concern.
WATCH:
This year’s aviation chaos started January 29, when a mid-air collision over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., killed all 67 people aboard an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter.
The crash, which occurred during the plane’s final approach to Reagan National Airport, is under investigation by the NTSB, with early findings pointing to possible air traffic control failures, miscommunication, and the helicopter flying at an incorrect altitude.
The tragedy deeply impacted the figure skating community, as several young skaters and their families were among the victims. Meanwhile, a victim’s family has filed a $250 million lawsuit against the FAA and the U.S. Army, citing negligence. The incident, along with recent aviation safety concerns, has led to a decline in public confidence in air travel.
More recently, a Delta Connection flight from Minneapolis flipped upside down while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on February 17, with 80 people on board. While all passengers survived, 21 were injured, including a child and two adults who were initially in critical condition.
Delta offered each passenger $30,000 as compensation, though at least one survivor has since filed a lawsuit against the airline. Investigators are looking into weather conditions and crew experience as possible factors in the crash.
Here are some of the most notable aviation incidents this year:
January 29 – The devastating crash in Washington, D.C., resulted in 67 fatalities.
January 31 – A medevac jet crashed in Philadelphia, killing seven people.
February 6 – A regional airline flight in Nome, Alaska, went down, claiming 10 lives.
February 14 – A fatal crash in Pierson, Florida, took the life of the pilot.
In total, 88 people have died in seven aviation incidents in the U.S. in 2025, according to Fox4.
Liberals confiscate the wealth we create and waste it in disgusting ways not only at the federal level. DOGE has inspired independent patriots to investigate government spending more locally:
Tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money were given to a Seattle foundation that supports bondage programming and “jack-off clubs” where members can “share masturbation and mutual touch in an open, group setting.” Volunteers, calling themselves WA DOGE, revealed that Washington’s Arts Commission gave the funds to the Pan Eros Foundation, an organization that “celebrates and cultivates consent & sexuality through the arts & education for all.”
I’ve been there and know people there who told me that once they started importing the goat herders, it became the rape capital of Europe.
The globalists have peddled a lot of lies. Off the top of our heads is the climate change hoax and COVID sham. But one of the deadliest and life-altering of all their fraudulent initiatives is the “Diversity Is Our Strength” scam.
Turns out, diversity isn’t just a bad idea—it’s downright deadly. It’s a nuclear bomb to tradition, stability, and any culture that isn’t based on Islam.
Just look at Stockholm. Once a peaceful, charming, and thriving city—is now a war zone. Thanks to unchecked migration, parts of Sweden are more dangerous than Baghdad. Bombings are a regular occurrence, and someone is murdered every 28 hours.
This isn’t progress. This is the deliberate destruction of the West, sold to us as strength. And Sweden is just the canary in the coal mine.
These are the Swedes who helped turn their once-great country into a deathtrap, all so they could score some progressive brownie points:
Now, thanks to yet another failed left-wing globalist agenda, there’s full-blown panic in Sweden as the country goes from calm, safe, and peaceful—to a literal hellhole of violence and filth.
Explosions in Stockholm have become so frequent the city’s estate agents are listing ‘no bombings’ in their ‘pro’ columns when advertising properties for neighbourhoods buyers might be unfamiliar with.
Already this month there have been more than 30 bomb attacks including a blast in which an elderly man lost his leg. Last year, a 20-year-old recently graduated teacher was killed in an explosion.
As the property adverts demonstrate, the horror has started to blend into the background. It has become so normal for Swedes to learn that an apartment complex or shopfront has been blown to bits that some attacks barely make the news.
I wouldn’t have said a word about this as Bubba Clinton is probably on the list as are a list of Clinton friends. One of them will sing like a bird.
President Donald Trump’s new U.S. attorney general, Pam Bondi, alluded to plans on Friday to soon make the explosive documents pertaining to pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s case publicly accessible.
In an appearance with Fox News‘ “America Reports,” Bondi explained that “a lot of documents” pertaining to the deceased pedophile’s case are currently “on her desk” — awaiting examination.
Bondi noted that reviewing and releasing the papers was a “directive” from the GOP president himself, and that she was briefed on them soon after being confirmed to her prominent position in the Trump administration.
Bondi was questioned on the anticipated Epstein document release during a live broadcast on Friday afternoon.
“The [Department of Justice] may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients – [but] will that really happen?” Bondi was asked.
AG Bondi: “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That has been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that, I’m reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That’s all in the process of being reviewed, because that was done at the directive of the president from all of these agencies,” Bondi explained during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside of Washington, D.C.
“Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises. I think promises made, promises kept. And that’s why we’re all there to carry out his directive about making America safe and prosperous.”
So essentially the entire town of Washington, D.C. has been stealing. The anomalies are those who are not stealing. $4.7 trillion, almost impossible to trace, represents two-thirds of the annual U.S. budget. And if it’s happening in the U.S., it is happening everywhere: France, Canada, the U.K., Germany, where budgetary processes are probably even more opaque than those of the U.S.
I used to think of people who worked for the government with a kind of veiled contempt or, in a more benign mood, compassion. I thought of them as pity jobs for those without initiative, as jobs paying off lefty campaigners, as a warehouse for the barely competent. In my own dealings with them, I found them punitive and extractive, papering me with demands to spend more and more money to hire more and more of their pet contractors, to get approval. In my working life, looking at the results of their involvement in America’s rural areas, I hated them for the hell they visited on people unable to fight back. They forced bad science on good people, and refused to see reason. They ruined forests, water courses, fisheries, and township after township turned to dustbowl status. The misery in rural sitting rooms in every state in the U.S. was palpable, long lasting; the green Blob ruined families for generations.
The Republican party is now the “proud voice” of everyday Americans across the country — and the party of “common sense,” President Trump declared Saturday during his keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
“Our party has become the proud voice of hard-working citizens of every race, religion, color and creed, and I think one of the main reasons — not that we are conservative or anything — [is] we are the party of common sense. It’s about common sense,” he told the crowd of about 1,000 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.
“Over the past month, we’ve confirmed an all-star team of warriors, patriots, visionaries who put the America First agenda into action,” he added.
And his team has been working overtime, he said.
“The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists and deep-state bureaucrats are being sent packing.”
“The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists and deep-state bureaucrats are being sent packing,” the 78-year-old commander in chief crowed to the adoring CPAC crowd of 1,000 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.
Later, Trump blasted his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, calling him the “worst president in the history of our country.”
“I don’t care. I’ll say it. Jimmy Carter passed away, and he was a happy man when he passed away because it’s not even close,” the president continued in his verbal onslaught.
Though it’s been just a month since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is making his presence felt at home and abroad, from the Department of Government Efficiency to tariffs to setting the stage to negotiate the end of the Russia-Ukraine war.
“What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”
“It’s like the United States: The people were not happy with Joe Biden and his policies. In England, the people are not happy with what’s going on with their leaders, with regulations, the price of living, and they’re willing to do something about it.”
“The bottom line is there are people who don’t believe that Western civilization is something to be prized, treasured, and developed,” Harris said.
“We have nothing to apologize for. We have the strongest economy. We have the strongest military. We’ve preserved freedom a couple of times in Europe, and we’re not going to stop doing that,” the Maryland lawmaker continued. In Europe, the Trump administration is making “a call for Western civilization to bring back the ideals of Western civilization and the success of Western civilization.”
“I think that was brought out at the conference,” Harris said, “and that’s the message that Donald Trump brings—the end of wokeism, economic security, low energy prices, and a nationalistic pride that precedes economic success.”

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

“What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”
“It’s like the United States: The people were not happy with Joe Biden and his policies. In England, the people are not happy with what’s going on with their leaders, with regulations, the price of living, and they’re willing to do something about it.”
Last week, Vice President JD Vance delivered remarks at an artificial intelligence summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference in Germany. Vance took European nations to task for their regulatory environment on matters ranging from energy to speech to artificial intelligence, and he reasserted America’s national interests in U.S. foreign policy.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright had his turn to address a European crowd when he virtually joined the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference and lambasted Europe’s energy policies. “Energy realism is critical if you want to have humanism,” he said, specifically addressing Vance’s critique of European energy policy.
Wright said what’s happening in Europe now is “lunacy.”
“This is impoverishing citizens for the delusion that this is somehow going to make the world a better place,” he said.
Harris told The Daily Signal he was “not surprised at what happened at the Munich Security Conference.”
“I mean, that’s the deep state of Europe,” he said.
“The bottom line is there are people who don’t believe that Western civilization is something to be prized, treasured, and developed,” Harris said.
“We have nothing to apologize for. We have the strongest economy. We have the strongest military. We’ve preserved freedom a couple of times in Europe, and we’re not going to stop doing that,” the Maryland lawmaker continued. In Europe, the Trump administration is making “a call for Western civilization to bring back the ideals of Western civilization and the success of Western civilization.”
“I think that was brought out at the conference,” Harris said, “and that’s the message that Donald Trump brings—the end of wokeism, economic security, low energy prices, and a nationalistic pride that precedes economic success.”
“Donald Trump is going to, once again, make the United States the leader of the free world,” he said.
“In general, I think that it’s reminding Europe that it’s time to get serious again,” Burlison told The Daily Signal. “We need to get serious about our manufacturing. We need to get serious about energy production, and we need to get serious about the threats to national security.”
Though many European elites in government have responded in dismay to the Trump administration’s message to Europe, the people the members of Congress met in London feel differently.
Hageman told The Daily Signal that Vance and Wright took “absolutely the right tack” in engaging with European nations over the past week.
“Energy security is national security,” the Wyoming congresswoman continued. “What you’re seeing of these European countries, and what the U.N. is demanding, is that we all live under energy poverty, and none of us believe in that. We believe in prosperity. I think that that’s exactly the message that Donald Trump and JD Vance are sending, and I think it’s what the European people want.”
“The government and the leadership in Europe for so long has been focusing on ‘net zero’ and carbon and global warming, and all of this nonsense,” Hageman said. “It’s costing their citizenry dearly, and they’re tired of it.”
For Hageman, the new sheriff in town is not only Trump, “the new sheriff in town is common sense and getting back to what governments are supposed to be.”
“The ones that I’ve spoken with are happy that Trump is rolling back regulations and calling Europe out for not [doing so],” said Norman.
DOGE has been a buzzworthy topic in London as well. “With DOGE, Trump and [DOGE chief Elon] Musk are more than investigators. What have they done? They’ve just exposed where the money went.” Europeans are now starting to desire a thorough accounting of where their money has gone, Norman said.
“We can’t continue [on] the same path that’s put us in debt,” Norman said of the reckless spending. “And I think many Europeans feel the same way. They wanted to take the same path Donald Trump is taking, and go a different way.”
“We’ve wasted a lot of time and a lot of money on foolish things,” Burlison said of the West. “America, sadly, has led in some of these foolish wastes, like studying [critical race theory] and this woke ideology and climate. But I think that, given the problems that we’re facing today, Trump is kind of a wake-up call, and it’s kind of the sobering message that Europe and America really needed to hear.”
With tariffs and charting a new path for foreign policy, “Trump is sending a message: Europe has got to defend itself,” Norman said. “Their percentage [of gross domestic product] that they spend is minuscule [compared with] what we spend, and we got a bigger GDP. He’s putting the pressure on them. They’re going to have to make the decision about how to keep their countries safe and I think it’s long time in coming.”
“You can tell, at least at this point, that they’re taking that seriously and kind of walking through what that would mean,” Burlison said of Trump’s policies. “So, I hope that England and the European countries that have been relying on America for so long recognize that America is taking things seriously, but we also need Europe to do so as well.”
Because of her interactions in London, Hageman thinks Britons are “coming around to the Trumpian point of view” because European leaders are not changing a failed course.
“Instead of changing course, instead of fixing this mess they created, “the Wyoming lawmaker said, European leaders “are telling all of you to shut up. That’s what’s happening in Europe and that’s what JD Vance was calling out.”
Almost more than on any other issue, European leaders “made bad policy decisions on migration.”
“It has caused severe issues and problems within these communities throughout their countries, and their response isn’t to say we need to fix this. Their response is to say we’re going to make it illegal for you to point it out,” Hageman said. “I think that it is absolutely fair for JD Vance and all of us to stand up for our brethren, to stand up for our brothers and sisters in Europe, and say we’re not going to allow you tyrants to get away with that.”
Hamas terrorists murdered Ariel and Kfir Bibas, aged four and ten months, “with their bare hands,” the forensic examination carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) showed. Terrorists then mutilated their bodies to cover up their heinous crime, the autopsy found.
The Gaza-based terrorist group has been claiming that the Bibas boys and their mother Shiri were killed in an Israeli airstrike weeks after their abduction, but the investigation of the recovered bodies reveals that they were “murdered in cold blood,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement Friday.
“Contrary to Hamas’s lies, Ariel and Kfir were not killed in an airstrike. Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari disclosed Friday.
“The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys—they killed them with their bare hands. Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities. This assessment is based on both forensic findings from the identification process, and intelligence that supports the findings,” he added.
Hooters of America is reportedly gearing up for a bankruptcy filing in the coming months as the iconic restaurant chain struggles with declining foot traffic and mounting debt, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
The Atlanta-based casual dining chain has enlisted the legal muscle of Ropes & Gray to handle its restructuring, while turnaround specialists at boutique advisory firm Accordion Partners are helping sort out the financial mess, according to sources who requested anonymity while discussing private dealings. The bankruptcy process is expected to kick off within the next two months.
Soon to be unemployed? Hooters waitress from Savannah, Georgia
Hooters’ creditors aren’t sitting idly by either. Some debtholders have tapped investment banking powerhouse Houlihan Lokey Inc. for advice, underscoring the severity of the chain’s financial troubles.
Declining Sales and Mounting Debt
The company has been struggling with cash flow issues as customers increasingly flock to other casual dining and fast-casual options. In recent years, several Hooters locations have closed their doors, a clear sign that the once-popular brand known for its wings and waitstaff is facing an existential crisis.
Adding to the financial woes, Hooters took on significant debt in 2021, issuing about $300 million in asset-backed bonds. These bonds, structured as whole-business securitizations, used the company’s franchise fees and other assets as collateral—a move common among restaurant chains looking to leverage their brand value for quick cash.
Executives Stay Silent
Despite the growing speculation, representatives for Hooters, Accordion Partners, and Ropes & Gray did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for Houlihan Lokey also declined to weigh in on the situation.
The looming bankruptcy marks a dramatic downturn for a brand that once dominated the sports bar scene with its signature wings and controversial-but-effective marketing. With an increasingly competitive restaurant landscape and shifting consumer preferences, Hooters now faces the challenge of reinventing itself—or risk being left in the dust.
For now, it looks like the chain’s famous orange shorts and tight cash flow may both be on the chopping block.
I haven’t been in decades and let’s face it, the food isn’t that great. They show just as much at the gym and I can work out instead of stuff my face with unhealthy food.
Is this the best Hakeem Jeffries can come up with?
The Democratic House minority leader has been a virtual non-factor during the first weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term in office, relegated to the background amid the extraordinary energy coming from the Republican White House.
But he’s making a buzz in a video making the rounds on social media, showing him giving Trump a new nickname — and it’s one Trump supporters are taking like a badge of honor.
Defense attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are reportedly arguing that federal prosecutors “singled out” the disgraced music mogul because he is black, and claim authorities have demonstrated “bad faith” and “racial animus” in handling the case.
Combs’ attorneys made these assertions in a new court filing seeking to dismiss the music mogul’s prostitution charge, according to a report by ABC News.
In their court filing, defense attorneys claimed the charges against Combs are racially motivated, arguing that “no white person has ever been the target of a remotely similar prosecution” under the Mann Act.
“Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished,” defense attorneys Alexandra Shapiro and Marc Agnifilo wrote.
“Count Three should be dismissed because this is a clear case of selective prosecution,” the attorneys added.
The defense attorneys went on to cite former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), who had “engaged in similar conduct but were never charged under the Act.”
The filing was likely referring to Spitzer having resigned as governor in 2008, amid a prostitution scandal that destroyed his reputation.
The music mogul’s defense team also reportedly argued that the “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” singer had used a popular and well-known escort service to bring people into his sexual activities, which the attorneys suggested is common practice among people of Combs’ status.
“Many couples, including wealthy high-profile couples, involve third parties in their sexual relationships, sometimes for implicit or explicit remuneration,” the filing stated.
“No federal prosecutor, in this district or any other, has targeted the company, its CEO, or its escorts. Nor has any prosecutor previously targeted any customer who purchased escort services from Cowboys 4 Angels,” the attorneys added.
As Breitbart News reported, Combs has been in jail since September 16 following a federal indictment accusing him of more than a decade of abusing, threatening, and coercing women and others, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes.
Apart from the federal indictment, the Buzbee Law Firm and the AVA Law Group announced in October that they would be filing at least 120 separate lawsuits on behalf of alleged victims accusing Combs, his associates, and other entities of additional crimes.
Weeks later, batches of lawsuits were filed against Combs — and in the subsequent months, additional suits continued to roll out.
It’s remarkable that they haven’t identified the pilots. It’s almost like they are trying to hide who they are. I bet if they were two white guys, the names would have been out the day of the crash.
In Marxist regimes, no one suffers more than the people whom Marxists deceived on their way to acquiring power. The poor, whose interests Marxists claimed to protect, experience only deeper poverty, exploitation, and oppression.
The Western world’s recent obsession with diversity, equity, and inclusion policies constitutes a similar phenomenon, which stands to reason. After all, DEI rests on the same ideological foundation as Marxism.
Wednesday on the social media platform X, the prominent conservative account “End Wokeness” posted a disturbing pair of older tweets from Endeavor Air suggesting that the operator prioritized all-female crews.
Endeavor Air was the operator of the Delta Connection flight 4819, which suffered a harrowing but non-fatal crash Monday when one of its passenger jets lost a wing, erupted in flames and rolled upside down after landing on a Canadian runway.
“We’re committed to delivering more ‘unmanned’ flights like these,” a 2017 Endeavor Air tweet read. A photo of four women, two of whom appeared to be dressed as pilot and co-pilot, accompanied the tweet.
We’ve been robbed. Our tax money has been looted, stolen, and wasted. Beyond the imagination of most Americans.
But not beyond my imagination.
Mohammed Ali once said, “It ain’t bragging if you can back it up.” Well, I can back it up.
I’ve spent the past decade on my TV and radio shows reporting, warning and screaming from the highest mountaintops that…
*Politicians and government employees are robbing and raping taxpayers.
*Politicians and government employees are crooked and corrupt.
*Politicians and government employees live by the credo, “We make $170,000 a year, PLUS all we can steal.”
*Politicians and government employees are lazy and incompetent, don’t know how to do an honest day’s work, and live by stealing from taxpayers.
*There are way too many government employees. We could operate government just fine by firing half of the government employees.
*Politicians and government employees have stolen and looted TRILLIONS of dollars from taxpayers. That’s why people making $170,000 a year are retiring as multi-millionaires. That’s not possible.
After paying taxes, and paying for kids, and college educations, and mortgages, and property taxes, and often alimony too- no one can become a multi-millionaire on $170,000 a year. Something is wrong.
*Politicians and government employees are getting filthy rich by directly stealing taxpayer money…and also by awarding government spending and contracts to their friends and relatives…and by taking kickbacks from whoever is awarded government money…and from taking bribes into offshore bank accounts from our foreign enemies like China, the Mexican Drug Cartels and Iran…and from high-paying no show jobs, stock options and insider trading scoops given to their relatives from big corporations and lobbyists.
“5 historians out with updated rankings for 2025 of the 10 WORST presidents in US History. These rankings were based on a very serious and rigorous review of both their economic and foreign policy successes and failures. You wonder why America is in such bad shape, just look at all the lemons we have elected over the last 50 years.
#10 Democrat Franklin D Roosevelt. Exasperated the Great Depression, Stole Americans gold, tried to stack the supreme court, watched WWII start and started the socialist state with massive government spending which to this day is adding to the out of control debt in the USA. He was a Marxist and a one world order guy.
#9 Democrat Barack Obama. Created what is now considered the WORST Domestic Policy in US History dubbed Obamacare which to this day continues to destroy America’s health care system and exasperates the debt problems in the USA. Started the Spying on Americans program by Abusing the intelligence agencies. He was a Marxist who hated America.
#8 Republican Herbert Hoover. Oversaw the start of the Great Depression which caused a 90% stock market crash and many people out of work. Would be ranked higher, but had no foreign policy disasters.
#7 Democrat Andrew Johnson. Impeached and barely survived conviction by 1 vote during civil war era.
#6 Democrat Jimmy Carter. Oversaw one of the worst economies in US History with 18% interest rates and near 10% Unemployment and 10% Inflation. Add in his problems with Iran and he was run out of town in a landslide after only 1 term.
#5 Democrat Lyndon Johnson. LBJ oversaw the Vietnam War, now considered one of the WORST Foreign Policies in US History as over 57,000 Americans KIA. In addition, added new social programs (mostly failures) with massive government spending which to this day is adding to the out of control debt in the USA. He was a major racist and said he’d be having N-word people voting Democratic for 200 years.
#4 Republican George Bush II. Created what is now considered the WORST Foreign Policy in US History with Iraq War based on FALSE Intel in addition to watching trillions of wealth destroyed as Federal Reserve FAILED to do its job. Another One World Government politician like his father
#3 Democrat James Buchanan. Failed to understand that the North would not accept constitutional arguments which favored the South giving rise to the start of the Civil War. In his inaugural address, Buchanan called the territorial issue of slavery ‘happily, a matter of but little practical importance.’
#2 Democrat Woodrow Wilson — The Federal Reserve, Federal Income Tax and World War One all started under his watch. All Failures with long lasting negative effects to this day. He was a major racist.
#1 With The Historic Failure Of The Democrats under the leadership of the Biden Administration on Domestic Policy with Run Away Inflation and Foreign Policy with 5 news wars —Add in that he weaponized the justice system against his political opponents. All while trying to run the country brain dead, Democrat Joe Biden is now OFFICIALLY Ranked as the WORST President in US History.”
I had Obama, Carter and LBJ a lot higher on the list, but they made it. I agree with FDR and Wilson though. They were turds.
NEW: Dr. Deborah Birx admits the COVID shots were pushed on the wrong people, saying the rollout on young people ignored the science.
Now, she tells us.
“The messenger RNA vaccine should have been rolled out for the people that were at risk for severe disease because that’s what the vaccine was developed for,” Birx said.
She also confessed the COVID shot was never “designed” to prevent infection:
“That is not what the COVID vaccine was designed to do. It wasn’t designed against infection.”
People lost their jobs under the lie that no one was safe until everyone was vaccinated.
Now, four years later, they admit young people never really needed it–and it wasn’t even designed to prevent infection.
The incredible — meaning, completely predictable — thing here is that she seems to be blaming other people for what she herself did.
For example, she says that when we say “we believe in The Science (TM)” we must actually follow the science and not just say that as a public relations tagline.
But she’s the one who pumped out a ton of lies while claiming “we believe in The Science (TM).” She is scolding us — “we” erred, she says — when she was the architect of the scheme of constant, remorseless lies and propaganda about the non-vaccines.
I didn’t lie about the non-vaccines. Why am I part of the “we” that must do better, and must tell the truth about what the science actually is instead of corrupting it into yet another Democrat Party moral blackmail propaganda point?
Note that she has already previously admitted that when Trump would give her an order to change the guidelines for “re-opening” and ending lockdowns, she would deliberately write the guidelines in such a way as to require further lockdowns, while lying to Trump to claim that she had obeyed his orders. She also admitted that she would call state and local authorities on the phone to tell them that no matter what the guidelines said, they should ignore them and continue imposing lockdowns.
Our #GhostRiders completed another lunar orbit maneuver with a 3 minute, 18 second burn early this morning. This maneuver moved the lander from a high elliptical orbit to a much lower elliptical orbit around the Moon. Shortly after the burn, Blue Ghost captured incredible footage of the Moon’s far side, about 120 km above the surface. In this orbit, the team will experience planned rolling comms blackouts as Blue Ghost goes around the far side of the Moon. When on the near side, the team will continue to downlink data and finalize the plan for our next maneuver that will get Blue Ghost even closer to the lunar surface and keep us right on track for landing on March 2. #BGM1
A Connecticut mother explained on Thursday why she voted for President Donald Trump in 2024 after casting ballots for independent candidates in 2016 and 2020.
In an appearance on journalist Mark Halperin’s “2WAY Tonight” Axios’ Trump White House reporter Marc Caputo asked a woman identified as Alex when she decided she had to vote for Trump rather than an independent candidate in the 2024 election. She cited the treatment of children and parents under former President Joe Biden’s administration as the main motivator.
“There’s a lot of reasons, but I would say the biggest reason was what was done to my children during the Biden years regarding masks and vaccines and coming after parents,” Alex said. “A lot of what was going on in the schools. And I basically wanted a return to the late ’90s … and Trump, to me, seems like a return to the late ’90s. I want inappropriate jokes. I want fun.”
The western public has been hearing a lot about “genocide” in recent years, from the genocide of indigenous peoples, to the genocide of Palestinians to the genocide of trans people. The demand is that these concerns be taken seriously whether they are realistic or exaggerated, that reparations be distributed and that refugees be taken in by the millions. The underlying narrative is always the same – “White colonialism” is the ultimate culprit behind every social injustice in the world and marginalized minorities are perpetual victims that require protection.
But what happens when white people are the minority under attack?
That’s a question that’s simply not acceptable according to the establishment media, and any suggestion that such a thing is possible is treated as an act of xenophobia. White people can never be considered a “marginalized minority”. This is the conundrum the western public often encounters when the issue of South Africa is broached.
The country’s well known history of segregation and Apartheid, which was dismantled from 1990 to 1993, is publicized and dramatized constantly in the media and by Hollywood. However, the aftermath is barely discussed.
Nelson Mandela, a member of the South African Communist Party and a co-founder of the terrorist group “uMkhonto we Sizwe” in 1961, was elected the first black president of the nation in 1994 and rebranded as a civil rights hero akin to Martin Luther King. After a honeymoon period of around ten years the country’s economy went into a steady spiral. Unemployment has now exploded to over 30%.
As with all countries under socialist/communist influence, the habit when faced with economic crisis is to divert blame to convenient scapegoats and steal resources wherever possible. Often, farmers are the people most abused by leftist governments. In the case of South Africa, such abuse is rationalized by social justice ideology and the fact that most of the farmers are white (therefore, they deserve to be robbed or killed).
Despite media attempts to suppress news of white genocide there is an ongoing problem of violent attacks on whites in the region. It has become commonplace for families to hide within gated homes with steel doors (inside and outside) due to persistent targeting for robbery, rape and murder. Many are considering leaving the country entirely.
It’s ironic that once they took the farms from the whites, there was a food shortage. The country went to shit and nothing works. They can’t even keep the electricity on
While there is a discussion of AI and what it currently does is below, the One World WEF / Davos / Rule the World group looks like it’s trying to combine immortality/AI and humans to create superhumans. Maybe I should say cyborgs? People have tried to rule over others since the beginning of time. It lasts for about a generation in history and then someone else takes over.
As usual, they are up to no good, trying to play God and use their money to separate themselves from the rest of the world so they can rule it……
Transhumanists know this, and as a result, are seeking to merge biology with technology. Converting a human into a Cyborg seems more plausible than making a computer alive. Transhumanism and the bio-digital convergence is driven by a few delusional beliefs. One is a quest for immortality. These fantasies include uploading consciousness into the cloud or creating a biosynthetic framework for the human body. This delusion is promoted as human augmentation and ridding the world of disease. Transhumanism is propelled by blind faith in technology and a complete disconnect from the innate Divine Spark that exists within every human being.
There is a mass media concerted effort with predictive programming to portray Transhumanism as inevitable. There is also a concerted effort to promote AI as running everything as inevitable.
As I’ve previously written about, a Swiss company called Final Spark is using brain matter called organoids to house AI and promotes it as more energy efficient and evolutionary. Final Spark’s neural platform can be leased like any other data storage. The brain matter is being used as hardware for the AI software.
Artificial Intelligence is in fact, ‘Artificial’ Intelligence. It is not authentic intelligence. It is a facsimile. AI is no more intelligent than a calculator is. A calculator can add faster and more accurately than a human can, yet it is not intelligent anymore than a cog or any other component is in machinery. Computers can carry out tasks more quickly and efficiently than the human mind, but there is no cognition involved. There is no actual discernment.
I would argue that AI is simply more advanced computers that simulate human intelligence using algorithms that complete higher level tasks that can engage in simulated problem solving, decision making, or language understanding.
In reality, the computer processes language through pattern recognition, analyzing context, syntax, and intent based on the data previously trained on.
This makes AI seem more “intelligent” than a calculator, but the core process is still computation. It is the complexity and scale of the computation that makes it appear intelligent.
AI models, like neural networks, perform billions of calculations across vast datasets, enabling them to handle complex tasks. The computer can then apply learned patterns to new, unseen data, making it seem more adaptive than a traditional calculator. It is a bit abstract. The math is hidden behind layers of algorithms, so the user interacts with responses which are in language form rather than seeing the calculations.
While AI is computational, it differs from a basic calculator in its ability to handle ambiguity and complexity. A calculator performs fixed operations with clear inputs and outputs.
AI, on the other hand, deals with probabilistic, uncertain, or incomplete inputs, using statistical models to generate plausible outputs or responses. This makes it feel more “intelligent,” even though it’s still just computation.
AI is, at its core, an advanced form of computation applied to non-mathematical domains. It doesn’t “understand” these domains, it processes them mathematically, using patterns and probabilities. The “advanced calculator” is useful because AI’s intelligence is an illusion created by complex math, not genuine comprehension or reasoning beyond its algorithms.
AI is basically a probabilistic response calculator that is applied to areas outside of mathematics. The computer analyzes the input and calculates the likelihood of various words, phrases, or structures based on what it has previously experienced in similar contexts. Then the computer selects or generates a response that aligns with the highest probabilities, adjusted for coherence and relevance. Even when handling novel queries, it relies on probabilistic patterns, combining them in ways that fit the input or question.
A woman in the driver’s seat of the front car then steps out and delivers an eloquent soliloquy on the dangers of imprudent vehicular navigation straight out of a modern remake of Shakespeare’s “Tempest.”
“Let’s go! Get out of the f***ing car! You were riding my f***ing a**! Get out of the f***ing car there, b****!” the woman screams to the driver of the red car. “Get out! Get out!”
It can’t be heard what the driver of the car said, but she responded, “I didn’t touch your f***ing car, b****!” At that point, a man got out of the driver’s side of the red car to calm the situation down.
“Come and touch me … come and put your f***ing hands on me! I ain’t drivin’ crazy! Your b**** was on my g*****n a**!” so sayeth our cultured protagonist.
The man did not put his hands on her, so she obliged by … telling him to get out of her face, and when he did, punching him in the face.
Given biological differences between the genders and the fact that crazy people don’t necessarily make for the wisest, most prudent street-fighters, you can probably guess what happened next:
Like always, she got her ass kicked when she thought she could take a guy. It’s why we don’t believe that girls are really hero’s because shit like this always happens. They watch Black Widow or the Flag Football commercial at the Super Bowl and think they aren’t going to get an ass whooping.
Liberal Women Are Lonely And Unhappy According To Recent Polls
The news must come as a shock to most, but it turns out that liberal women in the US are very unhappy. A recently released poll from the American Family Survey held in 2024 shows that only 12% of liberal women are satisfied with their lives and that they are three times more likely to experience loneliness compared to conservative women.
The data reinforces a number of surveys over the years which reveal a continuing plunge in relative happiness among progressive western women despite their admission that they have more independence than ever before.
Brad Wilcox, a sociology professor at the University of Virginia and fellow at the Institute for Family Studies who analyzed the survey’s data, said he believes there are a couple of reasons why conservative young women are more likely to be happier than their liberal counterparts.
“We’ve seen in the research that conservative women tend to be more likely to embrace a sense of agency and to have the sense that they are not, in any way, the victim of larger structural realities or forces,” he told Fox News Digital. “They’re also less likely to catastrophize about public events and concerns,” and “more likely to think of themselves as captains of their own fate,” Wilcox added.
The survey also notes that conservative women are more likely to accept biological and social differences between males and females. The ideal was thought to be common sense for thousands of years but has come under fire from feminists in the past decade as a “social construct of the patriarchy”. The deconstruction of societal norms has been so pervasive, governments across the western world have tried to encode intersectional feminist taboos into law and punish people who remain skeptical.
One side effect of the rise of feminist authority that liberals apparently did not expect is the decline in relative happiness of women. The issue was fist noticed around 2009 when a study out of the University of Pennsylvania stunned the mainstream media – Despite decades of greater access to the jobs market, institutional influence and life options since the 1970s, young women have become increasingly less happy compared to their counterparts of past generations. Though the study avoids addressing the problem of feminism directly, it does suggest that modern constructs may play a major role in creating anxiety for women.
Ohio Democrats Try to Own The Right With Bill Banning Ejaculating Without Aim To Procreate
Ohio’s “pro-choice” lawmakers believe they’re owning the Right by proposing a bill that would ban men from ejaculating during sex without the intent of making babies. Democrat State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rade are desperately trying to make some kind of gotcha argument against abortion bans by demanding men pay a fine up to $10,000 if they’re caught doing so. That’s why they introduced “The Conception Begins at Erection Act” this week, attempting to twist the factual pro-life slogan, “life begins at conception” into some kooky radical theory. Of course, members of the “LGBTQ” alphabet brigade are exempt from this law. Your right to butt hump is still protected!
