Washington was still in a stupor in the weeks following the shocking—at least to some—election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States. Precisely a month after Election Day, the next chapter of the story began.
On December 8, 2016, President Obama was scheduled to receive a classified President’s Daily Brief (PDB) the following day, which would assess Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The verdict? “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results” through cyber means. The Intelligence Community (IC) expressed only “low-to-moderate confidence” that any foreign operation had even attempted to tamper with election infrastructure.
The facts were clear: no votes had changed, and no election systems had been breached.
Before December 8, internal IC consensus held that Russia lacked both the intent and the capability to corrupt the vote. A September 12 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) had concluded that foreign adversaries “do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyberattacks” on U.S. election infrastructure.
Yet by mid-December, the CIA publicly attributed intent not merely to disrupt but to help Trump win—a stark departure from what agencies, including the FBI and CIA, had privately concluded.
Progressive politics may promise empowerment, but for many liberal women, the result appears to be rising misery and isolation.
A growing body of data points to a clear trend: liberal women are statistically the most dissatisfied and mentally unwell demographic in the country, and experts say it may have more to do with worldview than circumstance.
According to a 2024 survey from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), just 12% of liberal women aged 18-40 report being “completely satisfied” with their lives.
In contrast, 37% of conservative women in the same age group report full satisfaction, a difference that speaks volumes.
The findings come from the 2024 American Family Survey, which also shows that liberal women are two to three times more likely to say they are “not satisfied” with their lives.
Marriage and faith, two traditional anchors of community and stability, may play a key role in the satisfaction divide.
56% of conservative women in the study are married, while only 37% of liberal women are.
Church attendance reflects a similar gap: 53% of conservative women attend religious services weekly, compared to just 12% of liberal women.
That detachment from relational and spiritual communities may be fueling widespread loneliness.
Nearly 30% of liberal women report frequent loneliness, while only 11% of conservatives say the same.
“These women are lacking key support systems that help weather life’s inevitable challenges,” said Brad Wilcox, a senior fellow at IFS.
“We’ve seen in the research that conservative women tend to be more likely to embrace a sense of agency and to have the sense that they are not, in any way, the victim of larger structural realities or forces.
“They’re also less likely to catastrophize about public events and concerns and more likely to think of themselves as captains of their own fate.”
An insider in America’s intelligence community who now has turned whistleblower says he refused to concur in the manipulated intelligence assessment created under Barack Obama that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help candidate Donald Trump, and immediately was excluded from further discussions.
Further, his concerns about the falsehoods being pushed by that agenda were ignored, he said.
A report in the Washington Times cites the whistleblower, unidentified, in explaining he was pressured by his Obama administration superiors to go along with the staged arguments.
Evidence being found in newly declassified documents suggests that Hillary Clinton fabricated the Russiagate scandal for Trump because of concerns voters would remember her scandalous behavior when she put national secrets on an unsecured computer server she set up.
The documents also suggested the campaign to fabricate claims of links between Trump’s campaign and Russia was aided by Democrat officials from Obama down.
More information has been promised, and multiple Obama-era officials already have been referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and possible charges.
The Examiner reported the senior U.S. intel official confirmed he was pressured to endorse the false conclusions created under the anti-Trump scheme, and then he was cut out of discussions.
n brief, the Trump administration is seeking to free the American people from the shackles of the cult of climate alarmism. Zeldin’s tactic is not to argue the science, which is unsettled, but to challenge the EPA’s authority to classify GHGs as “pollutants” and then, in turn, regulate them as such.
Is climate change primarily caused by mankind? According to much of the scientific establishment, the answer to that question is an unequivocal, yes. Indeed, this view that mankind is responsible for climate change, or as it was previously called, global warming, has become climate dogma.
But as much as politicians, activists, and others claim it is “settled science,” the fact is that it is anything but settled. There remain critical questions and unknowns regarding climate science, as evidenced by repeated instances of climate change projections being proven erroneous.
Climate change has been a constant reality on planet Earth since its beginning, and its causes are not fully known or understood, despite the hubris surrounding the issue. The Earth’s climate is a complex system that scientists are still trying to understand.
Therefore, when a substance such as carbon dioxide — a naturally occurring gas that is an essential component for life on this planet — is labeled a “pollutant,” it’s understandable that some would object.
Of course, the reason carbon dioxide has been classified as such is that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased as a result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels. Scientists link higher saturation levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with greater heat-trapping effects, concluding that mankind is responsible for global warming, which they warn will have massive negative impacts on the planet should it continue unchecked. That, in a nutshell, is the “science” of anthropogenic climate change.
It is based upon this understanding, this doctrinaire belief, that lawmakers have established laws and regulations to limit fossil fuel-based carbon dioxide emissions. This has been expanded to other human activity that contributes to “greenhouse gases” (GHGs), which include methane gas (also a naturally occurring substance) and other gases.
In the 2007 case Massachusetts v. EPA, the Supreme Court considered the issue of whether the Environmental Protection Agency could regulate GHGs under the Clean Air Act. The Court ruled 5-4 that “greenhouse gases fit well within the Act’s capacious definition of ‘air pollutant,’” meaning the “EPA has statutory authority to regulate emission of such gases.” Tellingly, the Court noted that “policy judgments have nothing to do with whether greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change and do not amount to a reasoned justification for declining to form a scientific judgment.” Instead, the Court said that the EPA had the authority to determine whether GHGs “cause or contribute to air pollution which may be reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, or whether the science is too uncertain to make a reasoned decision.” This has been referred to as the EPA’s endangerment finding.
The focus in the case was the EPA’s authority to regulate vehicle emissions, but the ruling has been applied much more broadly to effectively encompass any industry that produces GHG emissions.
Of course, the auto industry has been most directly impacted by the Court’s ruling, as the EPA introduced a slew of regulations that have significantly increased the cost of cars. Furthermore, the Biden administration sought to use the EPA’s GHG regulatory power to effectively force automakers into adopting and scaling up production of electric vehicles with the eventual goal of eliminating gas-powered cars entirely. Included in Joe Biden’s erroneously named Inflation Reduction Act, which passed in 2022, was a clause that specifically classified carbon dioxide and other GHGs as “pollutants” regulated by the EPA.
Now, President Donald Trump is pursuing a pro-growth, pro-energy agenda, and his administration has been working to eliminate many of the hurdles to economic growth that the Democrat administrations of both Barack Obama and Biden put in place.
With Trump successfully securing favorable trade deals across the globe, one of the biggest industries that will benefit from these deals is the American auto industry. And the last thing the auto industry needs is GHG emission regulations that hamper growth.
Thus, in March, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin rolled out a deregulation agenda wherein he promised to drive “a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more.”
I asked AI to tell me about the state of the application. To be transparent, I loathe it and find it full of Facebook behavior and cringeworthy posts about how their jobs are better than they actually are. When you are forced to act positive to pay your bills, you’ll do a lot of things and say a lot of things. I won’t, which is why I make fun of it.
When it went woke, I changed personal information like I now attended Faber College (Knowledge Is Good) and was in the Delta Tau Chi Fraternity. I rarely go there as I never liked many of the people I had to work with. I’m connected to people who I don’t even know who they are now.
If they read this and kick me off the platform, my life will stay the same.
Anyway…..
LinkedIn is widely known as the premier professional networking platform, but it has several notable downsides that users frequently criticize. Here are some of the major negative aspects of LinkedIn:
Superficial Connections: Many users accumulate large networks filled with contacts who never engage meaningfully. This leads to bloated connection lists that dilute the value of professional relationships, as people accept connection requests without real interaction or intent to collaborate
.
Decline in Professionalism: As LinkedIn incorporates more social media-style features, posts often mix personal anecdotes, motivational quotes, memes, and other non-professional content. This shift can clutter users’ feeds and make it harder to find truly valuable industry insights
.
Engagement Fatigue: LinkedIn pushes frequent posting and interaction, which can cause burnout. Users may feel pressured to constantly share updates or personal stories, leading to diminished quality of engagement or avoidance of the platform altogether
.
Privacy Concerns: LinkedIn collects extensive personal and professional data that can be accessed by many parties, including third-party apps and advertisers. Despite privacy settings, users’ work histories and contact info may be visible to unintended audiences, raising concerns about data security and professional repercussions
Recruiter Messages and Spam: Users often receive generic or overly persistent messages from recruiters offering “amazing opportunities” without clear details. The recruitment process on LinkedIn sometimes feels impersonal and overbearing, causing frustration
.
Paid Features and Double-Dipping: LinkedIn charges employers for job postings but also offers paid options for applicants to appear higher in candidate lists. This “pay-to-win” approach can erode trust in the fairness of job applications and make desperate applicants look vulnerable
.
Inauthentic Endorsements: The endorsements feature, meant to validate skills, is often abused through reciprocal endorsement schemes, leading many to distrust their legitimacy. Users prefer direct personal references over these watered-down public endorsements
.
Pressure to Maintain a Polished Professional Image: Users may feel stressed to constantly portray an idealized version of themselves, leading to a lack of authenticity and anxiety around online presence. This pressure can create a gap between true skills and the curated profile displayed
.
Content Overload and Quality Decline: In the race for visibility, some users share low-value or repetitive posts, which reduces overall content quality. Finding useful and relevant information amid the noise becomes challenging
.
Algorithmic Bias and Networking Barriers: LinkedIn’s reliance on connections can disadvantage users with smaller networks, creating barriers to access jobs and professional opportunities. Networking pressure and algorithmic choices may favor some profiles over others unfairly
.
Customer Service and Billing Issues: Some users report unexpected charges, difficulty canceling paid services, and poor customer support responsiveness regarding billing disputes, contributing to user dissatisfaction
.
Annoying or Irrelevant Connection Requests: Many LinkedIn users receive random or spammy connection requests, often from salespeople or automated bots, which undermines the platform’s professional integrity
.
Toxic Positivity and Questionable Content: The platform sometimes promotes overly optimistic or non-substantive posts, which can feel disingenuous or out of place for a professional network
.
These points highlight that while LinkedIn is a powerful tool for professional networking and career development, it is not without significant flaws. Users must navigate issues with privacy, content quality, network authenticity, and platform commercialization while managing their own professional image carefully. Being aware of these challenges can help users better leverage LinkedIn’s benefits while avoiding its pitfalls.
Why have there been so many air traffic control issues lately? Is it because Trump has begun to trim a little fat from the bloated federal bureaucracy, as the media would have us believe? Or is it because for 4 years the secretary of transportation was a left-wing nitwit whose only job qualification was that he is ostentatiously homosexual?
The Air Traffic Control is being run off of diskettes, Musk found that out.
Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.
In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.
According to Democrat ideology, transportation makes it be too hot outside by requiring energy, so why would he want to facilitate Americans having more of it?
What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years — at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show.
Again we see that the Biden Administration was not so much a government as a looting spree.
“He was definitely pushing an agenda,” an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had “little to no interest” and took “definitely zero action” toward air traffic control modernization.
Gobbling up our money on behalf of their malevolent agenda is the whole point for Democrats. That’s why their transportation secretary was not required to know anything about transportation.
As of last month, an Emerson College poll of registered voters found the former transportation secretary leading the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field with 16% support, followed by ex-Vice President Kamala Harris at 13%.
Among Democrats, this kooky and incompetent creep is a star.
Government conspiracies break down into two basic types, those of concealment and those of execution. The former are frighteningly common—Watergate, TWA 800, Benghazi. The latter are rare and potentially more destructive than even the “hide the decline” deep-sixing of Joe Biden’s senility.
“Russiagate,” for lack of a better term, looms as the most subversive conspiracy of execution in American history. Thanks to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, we have proof that it was not mere misjudgment.
On Friday, Gabbard lowered the boom. In her own words, “After President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.” Her bullet points go straight to the heart of the treason.
In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”
On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign advaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC [intelligence community] leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”
Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”
On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.
On July 18, 1925, Adolph Hitler’s book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was published. Written while he was in Landsberg prison, where he was serving a relatively relaxing sentence for the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch coup, Hitler made very clear what he would do if the German people put him and the leftist National Socialist Party in power.
Mein Kampf is in two volumes. Part 1 has stories about Hitler’s life, including serving as a soldier in World War I. The book sold a paltry 9,473 copies in its first year. At the time, few people cared what a short man with a funny moustache thought.
Part 2 was published in 1927. Unlike many politicians who hide their true goals, Hitler put it all in his book for the entire world to read. He was very clear about his antisemitic views and what he would do to make Germany Judenfrei if he gained power and could implement his Third Reich agenda.
Image created using public domain images.
Sales of the two volumes continued to be slow as many Germans viewed Hitler as more of a comic (funny moustache, short, feminine speaking mannerisms, etc.). At first, they didn’t take him or his left-wing National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) seriously. In “Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show,” Tom Phillips writes about how many viewed Hitler as a fool:
In fact, this may even have helped his rise to power, as he was consistently underestimated by the German elite. Before he became Chancellor, many of his opponents had dismissed him as a joke for his crude speeches and tacky rallies. Even after elections had made the Nazis the largest party in the Reichstag, people still kept thinking that Hitler was an easy mark, a blustering idiot who could easily be controlled by smart people.
In Hitlerland, Andrew Nagorski discusses the American media’s early impressions of Hitler and the Third Reich:
Yet you had Americans meeting Hitler and saying, ‘This guy is a clown. He’s like a caricature of himself.’ And a lot of them went through this whole litany about how even if Hitler got into a position of power, other German politicians would somehow be able to control him. A lot of German politicians believed this themselves.
Surprisingly, German Jews also did not take Hitler seriously during his early years. In 1925, only a few German Jewish newspapers even bothered to review Mein Kampf. As Raphael Ahren wrote in The Times of Israel article “Why Jews Didn’t Blink an Eye When Mein Kampf First Came Out”:
When Mein Kampf came out for the first time, German Jews hardly noticed it. They certainly did not view it as a threat to their existence, or even as a harbinger of a changing political climate in the Fatherland.
Rahel Straus, a physician who grew up in Karlsruhe, Germany, and emigrated to Palestine in 1933, wrote in her memoirs:
We passed by the boxes of the Volkisher Beobachter (the official organ of the Nazi Party), read the incendiary articles and indignantly continued working. We didn’t realize that this Volkisher Beobachter was one of the most read newspapers in Germany at the time. We saw Hitler’s Mein Kampf on display in every bookstore; none of us bought it, none of us read it.
Slowly, that short man with the funny moustache and his leftist Nazi Party chiseled away at the Weimar Republic. The worldwide depression that started in October 1929 gave them a growing audience of supporters. By 1932, the Nazi Party had become the largest political party in the Reichstag (the German parliament).
One year later, on January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by the aging President Paul von Hindenburg. When the 86-year-old Hindenburg died on August 2, 1934, Hitler announced that the office of president and chancellor would merge under the title of Führer und Reichskanzler (leader and chancellor). Those who disagreed were free to discuss the matter at the end of a gun barrel or while laboring in Dachau.
Suddenly, sales of Mein Kampf rose to more than 1 million copies. In 1935, the Franz, Eher, Nacht publishing house suggested to Hitler that a special Mein Kampf version should be given to every newlywed couple on the day of their wedding.
The western world, still reeling from the horrors of World War I, watched what was happening in Germany and worried that another massive worldwide conflict was on the horizon. Meanwhile, Germany was ignoring the Treaty of Versailles while the Allies embraced appeasement.
After signing the Munich Agreement on September 30, 1938, between Great Britain and Germany, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain flew back to London believing he had prevented a second European war. When Chamberlain, whose name would become synonymous with appeasement, reached the prime minister’s residence at 10 Downing Street, he read a prepared statement:
My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time….
British Prime Minister Chamberlain and, to a lesser degree, President Franklin Roosevelt bent like pretzels to avoid a second colossal world war. In the meantime, Winston Churchill, who in 1935 had read the unedited English version of Mein Kampf, was repeatedly telling anyone who would listen that it would be better to stop Hitler now before he rebuilt Germany’s army and arsenal.
Few were listening to Churchill.
By May 10, 1940, when Churchill succeeded Chamberlain as prime minister, Mein Kampf had been in the public square for nearly 15 years and was a best seller in Germany and the occupied Nazi nations. Chamberlain’s years of appeasement had resulted in:
March 7, 1936: Germany invaded and remilitarized the Rhineland.
March 12-13, 1938: Germany annexed Austria (Anschluss).
March 15, 1939: Germany invaded the Czechoslovakia via the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia.
September 1, 1939: Germany invaded Poland.
September 3, 1939: Great Britain declared war on Germany.
Keep all this in mind when laughing at memes mocking intelligence-challenged politicians such as New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett, or New York’s Communist-Democrat mayoral candidate Zohan Mamdani.
What about this plan that they told Americans wasn’t a lie? Bet they told Congress and the Insurance companies to start the kickbacks because the money floodgates are open for good.
Medical care costs are surging already. A big leap is coming.
If you buy your own health insurance, you are probably going to pay more next year—a lot more.
Insurers are seeking hefty 2026 rate increases for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, the coverage known as Obamacare. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois wants a 27% hike, while its sister Blue Cross plan in Texas is asking for 21%. The largest ACA plans in Washington state, Georgia and Rhode Island are all looking for premiums to surge more than 20%.
The companies say the big increases are needed because of higher healthcare costs and changing federal policy, including cuts to subsidies that help consumers pay for plans. The higher premiums would come after years of enrollment growth and mostly single-digit rate increases in the Obamacare market, where individuals and families buy insurance for themselves. About 24 million people have ACA plans.
At the request of The Wall Street Journal, the health-research nonprofit KFF analyzed the rate requests for the largest ACA plans by enrollment in 17 states where the insurers’ filings have already become public, as well as the District of Columbia. They showed that some of the biggest national ACA players, including Centene and Elevance Health, are seeking double-digit increases in several states. The Blue Cross & Blue Shield plans of Texas and Illinois are both owned by Health Care Service, a giant nonprofit.
Most Obamacare enrollees’ monthly insurance bills will go up substantially next year because of reductions in federal subsidies that help pay for their coverage. Enhanced payments passed by Congress in 2021 will lapse at the end of December. The drop-off in subsidies is both helping to drive higher premiums and making it harder for many consumers to pay them.
Some people “are going to be hit with this double whammy” of bigger monthly insurance bills and losing the subsidy that blunts their cost, said Cynthia Cox, a vice president at KFF.
In rate filings, some insurers said tariffs could add to the cost of drugs and medical supplies.
Cheated for years breaking the law, but was willing to lie and put on a show about everything from Jan 6 to Melania’s underwear in the Mar-A-Lago raid. He’s been destestable for years.
Now, maybe justice will be served to the asshole of the week, Adam Schiff.
In a shocking new development, President Donald Trump’s longtime political adversary, Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), is facing criminal prosecution after a bombshell referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) over alleged mortgage fraud spanning years.
The FHFA has formally alerted the Department of Justice (DOJ) of the evidence, triggering an investigation into Schiff’s actions following a series of mortgage-related allegations.
Schiff, who was elected to the Senate in 2024 after years of serving as a House lawmaker, is under intense scrutiny after Trump announced the charges earlier this week.
It was revealed that between 2003 and 2019, Schiff may have falsified documents related to his Maryland-based property to secure more favorable loan terms.
The property in question is located in Potomac, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C.
According to the FHFA’s referral, Schiff allegedly manipulated bank documents and property records, a clear violation of federal housing rules.
The details of the case are particularly troubling.
CBS News on Thursday announced it will pull the plug on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show next year, stating the decision was “purely financial” and not a reflection on the years-long host.
The iconic program, which has been around for 10 seasons, will also be the last of the network’s “late night” shows franchise. The network started its “late-night” programming in 1993 after landing David Letterman, according to Variety.
“‘THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT’ will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,” the company said in a statement. “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘THE LATE SHOW’ franchise at that time.
He made fame by spoofing Bill O’Reilly on the comedy channel. That is the highlight of his career. His late night show wasn’t funny and Trump sucks isn’t doing anyone any good right now.
Purely financial means he didn’t draw enough viewers or get enough ad money, otherwise known as failing at your show
Millions of people worldwide are concerned about climate change and believe there is a climate emergency. For decades we have been told by the United Nations that Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activity are causing disastrous climate change. In 2018, a UN IPCC report even warned that ‘we have 12 years to save the Earth’, thus sending millions of people worldwide into a frenzy.
Thirty-five years ago, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the (World Meteorological Organization) WMO established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide scientific advice on the complex topic of climate change. The panel was asked to prepare, based on available scientific information, a report on all aspects relevant to climate change and its impacts and to formulate realistic response strategies. The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Governments worldwide have signed this convention, thereby, significantly impacting the lives of the people of the world.
Nearly 72 million people are expected to travel during the Fourth of July holiday, likely leading to crowded highway traffic and congested airports across the United States. However, holiday travelers should also see lower gas prices and airfares as they go to their Independence Day destinations, experts say.
Nationally, AAA Travel, the travel‐services arm of the American Automobile Association,forecasts that 72.2 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home during the Independence Day holiday period from June 28 to July 6. This year’s domestic travel projection is 1.7 million more travelers than last year and 7 million more than in 2019.
“Summertime is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, and July 4th is one of the most popular times to get away,” Stacey Barber, vice president of AAA Travel, said.
“Following Memorial Day’s record forecast, AAA is seeing strong demand for road trips and air travel over Independence Day week. With the holiday falling on a Friday, travelers have the option of making it a long weekend or taking the entire week to make memories with family and friends.”
AAA’s annual Independence Day forecast now includes two weekends instead of one, better reflecting the flow of holiday travelers, officials said. However, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s travel projections for the airline industry run from July 1 through July 7, with the highest passenger volume—about 2.9 million—expected on July 6.
According to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials, airports across the United States expect the highest passenger numbers ever for the nation’s 249th birthday. TSA staff at airports nationwide said they are prepared to screen more than 18.5 million travelers at the country’s security checkpoints.
Already on June 22, the TSA reported that it screened nearly 3.1 million travelers, the busiest single day number in the agency’s history, and more than 40 days after REAL ID enforcement came into full force at airport checkpoints nationwide on May 7.
Paramount and CBS was forced to pay millions of dollars to President Trump and agreed to change its editorial policy in a settlement.
President Trump filed a $20 billion lawsuit against the network’s parent company Paramount for deceptively editing a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.
Trump will be paid $16 million up front, according to Fox News.
Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network.
Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion. There is an expectation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network, Fox News Digital has learned.
Sources close to the situation told Fox News Digital that CBS has agreed to update its editorial standards to install a mandatory new rule. Going forward, the network will promptly release full, unedited transcripts of future presidential candidates’ interviews. People involved in the settlement talks have referred to this as the “Trump Rule.”
In October President Trump sued CBS News for $10 billion (now increased to $20 billion) for deceptively editing its ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.
“President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct,” the lawsuit stated, according to Fox News.
Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.
Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal launched an attack against “Harry Potter” series author J.K. Rowling on Tuesday, when a Vanity Fair cover story came out in which he called her a bully who makes him “f***ing sick” for her stance on the transgenderism.
“Bullies make me f***ing sick,” he told Vanity when the topic of J.K. Rowling came up.
The author has been at the center of controversy for her refusal to acknowledge people as being the opposite sex of which they were born.
Pascal reportedly has a self-proclaimed transgender younger sibling and had already gone after Rowling for purportedly exhibiting “heinous loser behavior” earlier this year.
This was due to her celebrating a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that stated self-proclaimed transgender women cannot legally be considered women and self-proclaimed transgender men are not to be legally considered men.
It’s odd how he did not use his up-and-coming clout to “help” his former Disney co-star Gina Carano when she was sandbagged and fired by Disney for expressing personal views on social media about hatred becoming toxic.
Because she invoked Nazi Germany as an example, she was cancelled.
Carano sued Disney and won a recent ruling that will force the conglomerate to produce documents related to Pascal and other actors.
She co-starred with him on “The Mandalorian” as Cara Dune, a fan-favorite character, for two seasons.
Carino is winning her suit against Disney for discrimination, for shit sjust like what Pedro did.
Globalizing the intifada apparently begins in New York City.
In one of the most stunning upsets for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s unseating of Joseph Crowley in a 2018 primary battle, state Rep. Zohran Mamdani cruised to an apparent victory in the New York City mayoral primary, handily beating former governor and the presumptive favorite in the race, Andrew Cuomo.
While New York City uses ranked-choice voting and the results won’t be official until next week, Cuomo has already conceded the race with Mamdani ahead by a 43.5 percent to 36.4 percent margin. Given that most polls that had Mamdani winning still had Cuomo ahead in the first round, this means the former governor has no reasonable path forward in the primary, although the ranked-choice balloting will still go forward until a candidate has 50 percent.
As well it should. I don’t know if Covid and the jab or the Climate scam was the biggest hoax of our lifetime. Both will prove them to be Government lies to launder money (most likely).
From New York to California, state renewable electrical power dreams are collapsing. Power demands soar, while the federal government cuts funding and support for wind, solar, and grid batteries. Renewables cannot provide enough power to support the artificial intelligence revolution. The Net Zero electricity transition is failing in the United States.
For the last two decades, state governments have embraced policies aimed at replacing coal and natural gas power plants with renewable sources. Twenty-three states enacted laws or executive orders to move to 100% Net Zero electricity by 2050. Onshore and offshore wind, utility-scale and rooftop solar, and grid-scale batteries were heavily promoted by states and most federal administrations.
The New York State Climate Action Scoping Plan of 2022 called for 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040. But 49.7% of the state’s electricity came from gas in 2024, up from 47.7% in 2023. A January executive order issued by President Trump halted federal leases for construction of offshore wind systems. New York, nine other east coast states, and California were counting on offshore wind in efforts to get to 100% renewable electricity, but new offshore wind projects are now halted.
Stephen A. Smith fired back at the NAACP Friday for its decision to snub President Donald Trump from its convention, breaking a 116-year tradition of inviting sitting presidents to speak.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced Monday that the sitting president is not invited to the NAACP National Convention, breaking a long-standing tradition of welcoming presidents from both parties. In a Friday episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Smith questioned the logic behind the decision and called it counterproductive to its stated mission of advocating for the disenfranchised, particularly in urban communities.
“He has been the most powerful, the most influential member of the GOP since 2015,” Smith said. “How do you refusing to invite him, ostracizing him, not wanting to hear what he has to say to you all — how does that help you? How?”
Smith was quick to say he wasn’t advocating for any kind of endorsement or camaraderie with Trump.
“Ignoring him and not even inviting him to come and speak at your convention — what’s that going to accomplish? For the first time in a 116-year history, you’re not inviting a president? Are you trying to tell me that there’s no president that has been as offensive to the NAACP as Donald Trump in 116 years?” Smith asked.
LBJ or Woodrow Wilson? They were pretty biased against blacks, way more than Trump.
Is Juneteenth being swallowed up – and swept away – by the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement? The nation’s newest federal holiday was meant to be a celebration of the end of slavery in America. It was never an LGBTQ holiday or general celebration of “marginalized communities.” Yet it seems some are trying to co-opt it – or culturally appropriate it, one might say – into the broader movement. As the tide of public and political opinion turns against DEI, however, will Juneteenth find itself washed away as well?
Officially, not many give a shit about this day. It’s as made up as Earth Day and some other non-essential holidays that interrupt our lives. I include Valentines Day as that is just for females really.
It was a bunch of pussies who bowed at the alter of diversity and made it up.
Most know it as a basketball school. Others know it because they couldn’t get into Duke so they went to UNC-CH. Others know it for what it is, a liberal indoctrination center that not only affects it’s students, it has ruined the whole town. At least you know everyone is left of the left when you go there. Oh, woke could have been invented on the campus. Look what they did during BLM. But for now, look at how they screwed America developing Covid-19.
Later in the article (link below), it talks about less precaution than the Wuhan Lab. Right in the middle of Flyover America, they are making these poisons, both sickness and supposed cure.
In the shadow of some scientific research lies the potential for catastrophic consequences. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s virology program, spearheaded by Dr. Ralph Baric, deserves attention for technical achievement but also for questionable safety practices.
According to an Aug. 17, 2020 ProPublica investigation and a follow-up piece, from 2015 to 2020 UNC-Chapel Hill reported 28 lab accidents involving genetically engineered viruses, including six genetically engineered coronaviruses accidents, to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In one mishap — in April 2020, 90 days into the pandemic — a UNC researcher was bitten on the index finger by a mouse infected with a novel SARS-CoV-2 variant created in Chapel Hill. While we were shut in our homes, the researcher was asked to self-quarantine for 14 days, and the local health department was notified of the incident.
It is helpful to judge public health risk as a relative matter with more than one data point. Since 1952, NC State University has operated a campus nuclear reactor in downtown Raleigh closely regulated by state and federal authorities. If there were a radiation accident, no one would disagree it would be an acute health risk to the region. Therefore, the reactor is monitored by the government.
Compared to other risks, virology research at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health involving SARS-CoV-2, MERS coronavirus, and related animal coronaviruses operates in an unmonitored, unregulated environment, posing potentially catastrophic global consequences if mishandled. This unmonitored, unregulated research is both a local and a global concern.
Recent documents obtained by court order by the public advocacy non-profit US Right to Know (USRTK) reveal that UNC developed and then exported dangerous coronavirus technologies and coronavirus research plans in the years leading up to the pandemic.
It’s a farce of a holiday anyway. It’s one that democrats made up to make themselves feel better as 100% of the slave owners were democrats.
A growing number of Juneteenth events across the U.S. are being scaled back or canceled as local governments and companies retreat from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives—a broader trend that critics say reflects growing public fatigue with corporate activism.
In Denver, one of the country’s largest Juneteenth celebrations was forced to slash its programming after more than a dozen corporate sponsors pulled out. Norman Harris, executive director of the Juneteenth Music Festival, said:
“There were quite a few sponsors who pulled back their investments or let us know they couldn’t or wouldn’t be in a position to support this year,” said Harris, who has overseen the event for more than a decade.
The two-day event in the city’s historic Five Points neighborhood was cut to just one day. Harris added:
“Thankfully, there was a wide range of support that came when we made the announcement that the celebration is in jeopardy.”
It’s not just Denver. In West Virginia, Juneteenth events were canceled altogether, with the governor’s office citing financial strain. The announcement followed Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s signing of legislation to eliminate all DEI programs statewide. His office said:
“Due to the continued fiscal challenges facing West Virginia, state government will not be sponsoring any formal activities,” deputy press secretary Drew Galang said in an email.
I should (can’t) overlook their Muslim problem and that they are being invaded and don’t know it, but to buy into this climate nonsense and spend waste that much money on it baffles one with an IQ of 3 digits.
We looked at the new Spending Review, which has allocated £45.1 billion to Mad Miliband’s DESNZ to spend in the next four years.
I thought I would also try to put some costings on other Government expenditure which is devoted to the pursuit of Net Zero.
£2.6 billion over Phase 2 (2026/27 to 2029/30) for decarbonising transport
£2.3 billion for local transport “improvements”, including cycle lanes and bus lanes, again over Phase 2
£2.7 billion a year for sustainable farming and nature recovery.
The Renewable Heat Incentive at £1.3 billion a year.
In addition there is international climate aid, which will be funded out of the Official Development Assistance budget. This has been running at over £3 billion a year for this year and last.
Then there is revenue foregone by the refusal to make EV drivers pay their proper share of car tax. Fuel duties currently bring around £24 billion a year. Currently there are about 1.5 million BEVs on the road, 5% of the total; so the Treasury is already losing about £1 billion in revenue. By 2030, the number of electric cars could potentially rise to 7 million, leaving a blackhole of £5 million a year.
There are many other costs incurred which are simply impossible to quantify or remain hidden from public view. For instance:
The Affordable Homes Programme, which includes funding for energy efficient homes
Local Government Funding, some of which is channelled to decarbonisation initiative
Electric ambulances
£15.6 billion for local transport in cities
Decarbonisation of public buildings, paid for through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme
A key plank of the globalist agenda is rooted in Malthusian climate alarmism. This pseudo-scientific hobgoblin has long served as a cudgel to demonise fossil fuels and impose a vision of ‘Net Zero’ that prioritises ideological certainty over pragmatic trade-offs in energy policy. The Trump administration’s aggressive actions against Harvard’s politicised administration include freezing $3 billion in federal grants, revoking Harvard’s ability to enrol international students and threatening its tax-exempt status.
This may, as a welcome collateral effect, disrupt the university’s key role in the Church of Climate, forcing it to align instead with the Trumpian vision of American energy dominance and a rejection of the constraints of the Paris Agreement. The Trump-Harvard standoff could mark a turning point in dismantling the climate-industrial complex’s grip on academia.
By granting intellectual heft to NGO activism, Harvard acts as the ‘Jesuit front’ to the Church of Climate. Like the Jesuits who furthered the Catholic Church’s cause in education and missionary work, Harvard’s professoriate leads the ‘climate crisis’, propagating the faith far and wide in the West and the developing world.
The Trump Administration is tightening up visa requirements for Chinese communists who come to the USA for training at Harvard — and none too soon:
For decades, the [Chinese Communist Party] has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country. …
Harvard enjoys a sterling reputation among Chinese officials thanks to its record in training highflying bureaucrats who went on to take senior government roles and, in some cases, join the party’s elite Politburo.
The ChiComs are open about their close relationship with likeminded Harvard:
“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” said a 2014 commentary published by Shanghai Observer, an online platform run by the city’s main party newspaper.
The current regime in China is continuous with Mao Zedong’s, which killed over 70 million of its own people in peacetime. Xi Jinping seeks to displace the USA as the world’s dominant superpower so as to expand communist tyranny.
Xi sent his own daughter to Harvard. He isn’t worried that students will be exposed to dangerous Western ideas about freedom and property rights — not at the leftist school that FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) ranked dead last in the country for free speech, scoring 0 out of 100:
What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.
The Wall Street Journal’s Gerry Baker emerges from a fog of TDS to praise Trump for declaring the party over:
The minute I saw this, I said it’s just a bird killing project that will never pay for itself. Right on both points.

The defendants — Michael Kehoe, Mohamad Nawafleh, Omar Alrawashdeh, Gamal Obaid, Emad Alrawashdeh and Arlasa Davis — are accused of “conspiracy to steal government funds and to misappropriate U.S. Department of Agriculture benefits,” according to a press release.
Starting in 2019, the indictment states that Kehoe created a network that supplied 160 unauthorized electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards to stores across the New York area, to illegally process more than $30 million in EBT transactions.
“This fraud was made possible when USDA employee Arlasa Davis betrayed the public trust by selling confidential government information to the very criminals she was supposed to catch. Their actions undermined a program that vulnerable New Yorkers depend on for basic nutrition,” U.S. Attorney Perry Carbone said in the media release.
Stealing from the less fortunate surely makes you an Asshole
Newly declassified intelligence records have revealed that the Biden administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists.”
The documents, which were declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, show that they cutely abbreviated the term to ‘DVEs’.
Catherine Herridge, one of the journalists who obtained the records, notes “The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals.”
A former FBI agent told Herridge that this “is often the first step toward a formal investigation.”
Herridge further reports:
The report… claims that “anti government or anti authority violent extremists,” specifically militias, “characterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.” A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, “have resonated” with DVEs “motivated by QAnon.”
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”
The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.
“It’s a way they could go to social media companies and say, ‘You don’t want to propagate domestic terrorism so you should take down this content,’” said former FBI agent Steve Friend.
Wow. Those violent extremists believing that COVID vaccines were potentially unsafe for young people.
It’s not like they were 100% correct and big pharma is being forced to admit this is exactly the case.
So, a pseudo-racism controversy so predictably nonexistent that you could have called it the moment it began percolating turns out to be nonexistent. You’re an ESPN commentator and you cosigned the existence of the controversy on-air. In fact, your comments have basically become the face of the controversy in sports media.
How do you apologize? Well, in this case, you use the second-most cowardly way for a public figure to back out of stupid remarks.
The first, by a mile, is, “Sorry my point was misunderstood.” Which is to say, the onus is on you: Sorry you lacked the discernment to understand what I actually meant to say, and instead took what I actually said at face value. That still remains the undisputed champion of the terrible public apology.
But second place, albeit a distant second, was trotted out by ESPN’s Chiney Ogwumike after she unfairly maligned the entire Indiana Fever fan base as racists: “Sorry that my message was in the heat of the moment.”
Humiliating Turn for Star Harvard Professor as She Becomes First to Be Stripped of Tenure Since 1940s
Harvard University has revoked the tenure of Francesca Gino, a celebrated Harvard Business School professor, and terminated her employment.
The Harvard Corporation, the university’s governing body, arrived at the extraordinary decision last week, Boston-area public radio station GBH reported Sunday.
In an ironic and humiliating twist, Gino, who was dubbed the “honesty professor” for her research on ethical behavior, ultimately had her prestigious career cut short after a school investigation cast doubt on the truth of her own work.
The trouble began in August 2021, when Data Colada, a blog run by behavioral scientists, flagged potential data fraud in a paper co-authored by Gino.
This paper was retracted a month later.
Harvard Business School launched an 18-month investigation that uncovered evidence of manipulated data in four of Gino’s studies. The manipulations were done to support Gino’s hypotheses, Harvard concluded.
The findings were damning for Gino, who was placed on unpaid administrative leave in June 2023. The school barred her from campus and revoked her named professorship.

The brazen anti-Americanism replete within The New York Times has become so in-your-face you can smell it like someone with a halitosis condition yawning within a few centimeters of your nose at a bus stop. How the trash newspaper tried to give new meaning to the idea of Memorial Day in its print edition is no exception.
The May 26 print edition of The Times featured no mention of Memorial Day or the numerous U.S. service men and women who died in the armed forces at all on its front page. In fact, one of the top so-called stories it chose to feature instead was teaming with anti-police, race-hustling agitprop: “Rise in Killings By Police Dims Floyd’s Legacy.”
Yes, this allegedly prestigious paper actually chose to elevate the memory of a violent convict charged with numerous drug and theft offenses to attack the police writ large rather than honoring the memories of dead soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country. One of Floyd’s most egregious crimes involved an aggravated robbery incident where he pressed a pistol against a woman’s abdomen while searching for items to steal in her apartment.
Did The Times bother mentioning any of this context when they chose to re-canonize Floyd in its racial propaganda written by three reporters? Nope. Instead, five years after the killing that sparked the racial unrest that dominated America’s streets amidst the violent Marxist Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, The Times is still so obsessed with Floyd that it is willing to give him “Memorial Day” precedence just so it can continue its pathetic trend of dunking on law enforcement.
What President Trump just did to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, confronting his denial about attacks on white farmers by playing video evidence while Ramaphosa sat there speechless, was one of the boldest truth-to-narrative moments ever captured in a diplomatic setting.
Omar Sultan Haque, M.D., Ph.D., a Harvard researcher, penned a cri de cœur on his Substack arguing that Harvard has betrayed its very reason for being: the search for truth.
The historic levels of grade inflation on campus also match levels of denial, insularity, truth-inflation, and ideological capture. For instance, a shorter version of this heterodox essay you are reading at this moment was rejected by the Harvard Crimson. The well meaning editor told me they “didn’t feel this particular piece was a good fit at this particular time”. I wondered, when exactly would be a good time? Faculty job applicants already have to do diversity/DEI loyalty oaths, and students can’t speak their mind in an academic institution.
Openness to dissenting voices and free inquiry are as rare at Harvard as is spotting the mythical dodo bird of the Ivy League in Harvard Yard: a student who is working class, conservative, religious, rural in origin, heterosexual, and believes their gender matches their biological sex.
Harvard’s motto is, famously, Veritas–Latin for “Truth.” Just like Pravda, come to think of it, and the modern Harvard is as dedicated to truth and the search for truth as Pravda was during the Soviet years.
In contrast, a partisan think tank is explicitly factional and partial in its aims. There are many think-tanks in America that have explicitly partisan aims and practices, such as the Center for American Progress (liberal), Claremont Institute (conservative), Cato Institute (libertarian), Guttmacher Institute (pro-abortion). Though intellectually oriented and often producing robust scholarship, these are not universities. Consistent with their ideologies, these institutes tend to only ask a small range of all possible intellectual questions, and their answers are more predictable than not. The Guttmacher Institute, for instance, rarely does a study on post-traumatic stress disorder and moral injury after abortions, and the Cato Institute rarely writes reports documenting the needs of the most vulnerable in society and how social safety nets could help.
Harvard, by these standards, is much more like a left wing progressive Institute, than it is a university. In its most passionate moral exhortations, Harvard resembles a secular ideological church. There are some quantitative pockets of flourishing, non-partisan academic life, but in general, Harvard does not live up to the values of a university, and is more like a think tank.
Speaking Tuesday night on NewsNation’s On Balance, Original Sin co-author and Axios reporter Alex Thompson told host Leland Vittert that, in his reporting for this bestselling book about the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden and its cover-up, one Biden administration source remarked to him they were shocked how compliant the press were of their lies about Biden’s mental state.
Thompson revealed this in response to a question from Vittert if “people in his inner circle…were…surprised by how complicit the media” were in this cover-up.
Columbia University’s recent decision to lay off nearly 180 staff members is a stark reminder of the real-world consequences of elitist posturing.
The cuts, reported by multiple outlets, including Fox News and NBC News, were prompted by the revocation of $400 million in federal grants under the Trump administration, highlighting the school’s stubborn refusal to adapt to reasonable demands. These staffers are paying the price for the school’s defiance, while the university’s leadership retreats to their gilded mansions unscathed.
The Trump administration’s mandate was clear: protect Jewish students from rampant anti-Semitism on campus, or lose federal funding. Columbia chose defiance, and now its employees are suffering. The school’s insistence on coddling Hamas sympathizers has cost it dearly, and the fallout is hitting those least responsible for the decision.
Columbia’s acting president, Claire Shipman, issued a statement that reeks of self-pity.
“This is a deeply challenging time across all higher education, and we are attempting to navigate through tremendous ambiguity with precision, which will be imperfect at times,” she said.
Ambiguity? There’s nothing ambiguous about Trump’s directive. Stop the anti-Semitism, and you’re fine. Columbia’s leadership chose to play a stupid game, and now they’ve won a stupid prize.
Let’s not forget that Columbia is where the Frankfurt School (of Marxism) calls it’s current home. How can you expect them to take any position other than anti-Jewish.

Not to be outdone: the new leader of the Democratic party is a Presidential threat. ❓What Happened: A recent survey reveals that many Democratic voters see Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as the face of their party.

But the Asshole is this bitch who bought a couple of billion doses of the Covid Poison while knowing it causes more harm than good. You are the AOTW
After two and a half years of fighting both the EU and Belgian courts tooth and nail so that she won’t have to disclose her text messages with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla about vaccine negotiations—presumably to hide evidence in “the biggest corruption scandal in human history”—EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was delivered a painful blow by the EU Court of Justice on Wednesday, when it ruled that she did break transparency laws and annulled her decision to withhold the documents.
As a reminder, the texts were used to negotiate the procurement of 1.8 billion doses of Pfizer vaccines for around €35 billion, in addition to the purchase of another 2.8 billion doses from other manufacturers. That’s over 10 shots for every single European, worth over €70 billion in total. Barely more than one-fifth of those were ever administered, meaning the vast majority will inevitably end up in landfills.
Yet, despite the fact that it could be key to understanding this unimaginable waste of taxpayer funds, the ECJ ruling holds no immediate consequence with regard to the disclosure of the Pfizer texts. The Commission already stated that it won’t release them. Von der Leyen has two months to appeal the decision, and the process for a final ruling typically takes another 15 to 24 months. In other words, the public is not likely to see any of the texts for at least another one or two years—if ever.
Well, that didn’t last long. The Democrats want to dump Hogg, Vice Chairman of the DNC. How are they dumb enough to make him Vice Chairman to begin with?
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk on Monday criticized Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg’s suggestion that young men could be wooed back to his party if it allows them to prioritize having sex and “fun.”
“Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun,” Hogg said on “Real Time With Bill Maher” Friday. Kirk, on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” said Hogg’s comments were “nihilist” and “dismissive” as young men have much deeper concerns.
A New Jersey firefighter decided to turn his own birthday party completely upside down. He had discovered his wife was cheating on him and decided to expose her at his own party.
He knew all about the Plan B pills she had to take, he knew about the other guy’s “skinny little pale thing,” and he knew it was over too. He pretended to need the ring off her finger, then tore into her and let everyone who was there know she was cheating.
The viral clip starts with the birthday boy announcing, “Even though it’s my birthday, I got her a little something right. Little happy wife, happy life bullshit.”
Nobody has any idea what’s about to happen. He’s handed a ring box as if he’s about to upgrade his wife’s ring or something. People think they’re witnessing a sweet moment between this seemingly lovely couple.
He has her join him, pulls the brilliant move of having her take her current ring off and give it to him, then plants a mafia-style kiss on her before letting her know that he knows all about her cheating.
“I f*cking know everything,” he says. “That’s right b*tch. I know everything. I had to see his skinny little pale thing. I wasn’t impressed. I know all about the Plan B pills you had to take.”
It seems like justice to me. I’ve had cheating whores in my past and getting rid of them was worth it every time. I even had to cut them out on social media when they tried to come back in my life. Fuck that.
Authorities are beginning to recognize a phenomenon I have been documenting for years, namely the threat to Democracy posed by ELFs – Educated Liberal Females. During the George Floyd riots, ELFs comprised the clear majority of protesters, but males dominated the shock troops, the ones willing to confront the police and risk arrest.
A Fox News headline from Friday suggests our historically docile ELFs may be juicing up on steroids: “Mostly women arrested in Columbia University library takeover: NYPD.” As Fox reported, “In total, the NYPD made 80 arrests – 19 males and 61 females, according to a source. A source also said at least 50 of the 80 protesters arrested were Columbia University students.”
According to witnesses, the protesters climbed on desks and chanted “Free Palestine.” They renamed – at least for one brief whiny moment – the Butler Library “Basel Al-Araj Popular University” and demanded that Columbia University divest from Israel. In the course of storming building, they injured two campus police and two NYPD officers.
Done in tribute to Denny, the Grouchy Old Cripple.
This week, there were lots of options.
First, there was the towel head wearing Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. who said, “”Our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”
James Carville said that she’s pissing off about 33 percent of their voting base and to stop being a dumbass with a big mouth. STFU with your comments.
Then, there is Angel Reese and her Mom. They can’t stand that Caitlin Clark is better, more famous, and people like her better. She came out with this gem:
In a post that’s been seen nearly 900,000 times on social media platform X, according to X’s public metrics, Webb Reese cryptically remarked: “Aww that certain fan base (white people) looking in the stands celebrating ‘attendance’ while others are looking up in the rafters celebrating championship banners.
In opposing games this week, twice as many people attended the Fever game than the one Reese played in.
But for supreme assholiness, no one can top Michelle Obama who spent the week complaining about her oppressed life and her husband.
First, Michelle Obama says she’s back in therapy as she begins her “transition” to the “next phase” of her life. I guess she can finally be a man, or be a man again depending on who you believe.
She’s 60 now and had such a hard life. She went to elite schools, has 3 multi-million dollar houses, and has sponged off of the American taxpayers for the last 17 years.
How insufferable can Michelle Obama get? I suppose it makes sense — her fame has always been tied to her husband, and now she’s grappling with the fact that she’s no longer the center of attention. Her attempt to stay relevant, like that flop of a podcast with her brother, hasn’t exactly set the world on fire.
Michelle “Big Mike” Obama said on her failing podcast that she is very resentful that while she got to live for free in the world’s most famous mansion rent-free for eight years and had many of her meals paid for by the taxpayers, and also had most of her travel costs covered, she still had to use some of her own money for routine food shopping and when she and Obama flew on the taxpayer-provided Air Force One to foreign vacation spots, she had to pay commercial rates to fly her kids with her.
Foul, miserable beast of a “woman.”
Megyn Kelly reminded me: Remember when Obama was being groomed for the presidency and the entire Democrat Party rallied to stuff money in his pockets? For Michelle, the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine phonied-up a fake sinecure for Michelle supposedly working for a hospital. She was paid $200,000 per year or something like that, despite being a very average, no-account (DEI) lawyer.
And yet she complains. She wasn’t given enough free stuff and enough corrupt money. It’s racist that she wasn’t given more.
So once again Michelle Obama, you are the asshole of the week.
Afghanistan has again become a “terrorist haven” harboring Al Qaeda followers after former President Joe Biden allowed American weapons and funds to fall into the Taliban’s hands in 2021, a new report finds.
The Taliban regime made $3.4 billion in revenue since March 2024 and March 2025 and is allowing Al Qaeda “affiliates” to arm themselves, the U.S. government’s Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reported April 30. Decades after the U.S. went to war with the two groups following 9/11, evidence shows that Afghanistan poses a greater danger to Americans than before the attacks, a national security analyst told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“The threat of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan is far greater today than pre-9/11, as the Taliban controls all of Afghanistan, has the resources of the state, and has allowed Al Qaeda to establish significant terror infrastructure, including training camps, safe house and religious schools,” said Bill Roggio, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “Al Qaeda has the time, space and resources to recruit and train the next generation of terrorists and plot their next attack.”
The SIGAR document in part referenced a February United Nations (U.N.) report which found that Al Qaeda followers had “access to weapons” taken from the former Afghan government. The supplies had been “transferred to them by the de facto authorities/Taliban or purchased from the black market,” it said
When I worked with Chris Wong, obviously Chinese, at IBM, he told me the key to understanding how to work with China is simple. They ignore the 10 commandments. That’s right, lie, steal, coven and all the rest of them.
Here’s the result:
China claims that President Trump started the trade war against China by imposing reciprocal tariffs.
What China conveniently omits is that they have been waging a full-scale trade war against America for decades. Not only does China systematically violate just about every term of every trade agreement, they have been stealing trillions worth of American industrial technology and intellectual property.
China Steals at Least $225 Billion Every Year
According to a 2024 report from the House Committee on Homeland Security, China steals between $300 and $600 billion worth of American technology and intellectual property every year. This is in line with findings from a 2017 report from the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property.
If we assume a middle-of-the-road figure, and extrapolate these findings back to 2001, when China joined the World Trade Organization, then we can assume that China has stolen some $9.9 trillion worth of American technology and intellectual property. As we will see below, this does not even encapsulate all the ways that China steals technology.
Perhaps surprisingly, only 29% of espionage targets were military in nature. The vast majority of China’s efforts have been focused on procuring industrial technology, including manufacturing processes, formulas, and designs. This theft costs American businesses at least $180 billion annually.
American businesses also lost out on big profits from counterfeit goods. A report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) notes that 60% of all counterfeit goods sold globally originated in China. The proportion is even higher for America’s consumer market, with 87% of the counterfeit goods sold in America originating in China. This deprives American companies of some $291 billion in lost revenue.
\Another report compiled by the United States Trade Representative discusses theft perpetrated on Chinese e-commerce markets. In particular, this “cause[s] great losses for U.S. Right holders involved in the distribution of a wide array of trademarked products, as well as legitimate film and television programming, music, software, video games, books and journals.”
Although this loss cannot be specifically quantified, it is likely significant. Consider that in 2024 Chinese e-commerce transactions were valued at an estimated $2.16 trillion USD. According to the above reports, approximately 40% of all products sold on these markets were pirated or counterfeit. Thus, we can estimate that these transactions deprived foreign — mostly American — businesses of $864 billion in profits.
How China Steals American Technology
Reports on China’s malfeasance typically focus on espionage and outright corporate theft. However, the main vectors of technological theft are not conventional theft. Instead, China focuses on acquiring ownership stakes in strategic American corporate assets, and strongarms American companies doing business in China.
America runs a large trade deficit with China, worth at least $300 billion per year over the last decade. How does America pay for this deficit? By selling assets and debts — this is called the balance of payments.
Assets include shares – ownership — of American corporations. Chinese investors coordinate to buy shares in American industrial and technology companies. They then use these shares to facilitate the transfer of proprietary technology.
Perhaps this is not technically theft, but it is a coordinated effort by the Chinese state and pseudo-state actors to acquire American technology. Further, these “owners” clearly breach their fiduciary duties to the American companies — once the technology is pillaged, they are free to liquidate their holdings.
The second main vector for technology transfers occur when American companies offshore their production to China. American companies are required to “partner” with a Chinese company, who handles all staffing and operational management of the factory. As a part of this deal, the Americans share their propriety technology with the Chinese company, and train the Chinese workers.
American businesses are happy to trade technology for short-term profits. Of course, this comes back to bite them. Once the Chinese have acquired the technology and knowhow, they often make copycat products and begin competing with their former employer.
A good example of this is the Pearl River Piano Group. They were contracted to build Steinway’s Essex line, lower-end manufactured pianos. After acquiring the technology, industrial capital, and experience in manufacturing pianos, Pearl River rolled out its own copycat lines: Pearl River and Ritmüller. In effect, Steinway created its own competitor.
This is just one example. The reality is that almost all Chinese companies have been built on stolen technology. Huawei, for example, is one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Huawei invented precisely nothing — all the foundational technologies were either “gratuitously” transferred through the above mechanisms, or stolen through outright corporate espionage.
The total amount of technology “stolen” in this way is unquantifiable. Consider that in 1983 most of China was pre-industrial — with economic development lower than that of colonial America. Since then, China’s industrial economy grown to be three times larger than America’s, and in some ways, more advanced.
America needs high and stable tariffs in order to reshore America’s factories, and stem the most egregious vectors of technological theft. If not, then America will continue to feed China until the dragon has grown past the point of taming or slaying.
The recent massive blackout across Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium has sparked new debates about the state of Europe’s energy infrastructure, especially as these countries have moved toward renewable energy.
On Monday, Spain and Portugal experienced a massive power outage. Spain lost about 60 percent of its electricity within about five seconds. France and Belgium were also hit, and everybody experienced some level of disruption to their transportation, communication, and overall daily life.
At first, rumors spread that the blackout was caused by some “rare cosmic phenomenon.” But that was quickly ruled out.
The rare atmospheric phenomena causing power outages across Europe has a name
Investigations have also ruled out cyberattacks and weather-related events. The early findings suggest that a sudden loss in solar power in southwestern Spain is what triggered everything.
Watch:
MASSIVE BLACKOUT IN EUROPE ⚡
Major outages hit Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium.
Airports, subways, and communication networks down.
Spain is one of Europe’s leaders in renewable energy, with over 75% of its electricity coming from renewable sources at the time of the outage.
Net Zero isn’t reality, but that’s exactly what Spain is pushing.
This is truly bananas: all of Europe appears to have been seconds away a continent-wide blackout.
The grid frequency across continental Europe plunged to 49.85 hertz — just a hair above the red-line collapse threshold.
The normal operating frequency for Europe’s power grid is 50.00 Hz, kept with an extremely tight margin of ±0.1 Hz. Anything outside ±0.2 Hz triggers major emergency actions.
If the frequency had fallen just another 0.3 Hz — below 49.5 Hz — Europe could have suffered a system-wide cascading blackout.
At that threshold, automatic protective relays disconnect major power plants, and collapse accelerates.
And it’s disturbingly easy to imagine multiple scenarios where that could have occurred…
Renewables don’t risk blackouts, said the media. But they did and they do. The physics are simple. And now, as blackouts in Spain strand people in elevators, jam traffic, and ground flights, it’s clear that too little “inertia” due to excess solar resulted in system collapse.
‘All Races Struggle’: Chicago Public Schools Hit With Investigation Over Alleged Racial Discrimination
The Department of Education (ED) opened an investigation into Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Tuesday over allegations the district is violating civil rights by hosting programs that discriminate based on race.
The investigation stems from a complaint filed by educational grassroots organization Defending Education (DE) about a “Black Students Success Plan” hosted by CPS which focuses “on remedial measures only for black students, despite acknowledging that Chicago students of all races struggle academically,” according to ED’s press release.
“Chicago Public Schools have a record of academic failure, leaving students from all backgrounds and races struggling and ill-prepared to meet the challenges and enjoy the rewards of contemporary American life,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for Civil Rights at ED said in a statement. “Rather than address its record honestly, CPS seeks to allocate additional resources to favored students on the basis of race. The Trump-McMahon Department of Education will not allow federal funds, provided for the benefit of all students, to be used in this pernicious and unlawful manner.”
Democratic Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is facing scrutiny after a bombshell 7News I-Team investigation revealed her office failed to properly disclose funding sources for a series of lavish trips. ($62K worth)
Despite Bowser’s repeated claims that her domestic and international travels are part of economic development efforts, public records raise alarming questions. Bowser’s administration reportedly has no expense filings on record for trips to the Masters Tournament, Las Vegas, Miami, Mar-a-Lago, Dubai, or Doha, even though several of these outings appear to have been paid for by third-party entities, including foreign nations and private organizations, according to 7News.
If you hated the press/Mainstream Media, you didn’t hate them enough. Biden was mentally incompetent to serve as President and they covered it up cna carried the water for the Democrats.
Before that, they hid the deadliness of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Mainstream media, led by outlets like the Daily Mail, are finally admitting that COVID vaccines have caused millions of deaths and debilitating injuries, a truth long concealed by government health officials, Pfizer, and Moderna. This acknowledgment marks a seismic shift in public discourse surrounding the vaccine’s widespread harm.
The revelation coincides with reports exposing flaws in the UK’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme, where only a quarter of the £38.6 million budget is expected to compensate injured patients. The remaining £27 million is reportedly allocated to a U.S. firm handling claims, highlighting systemic failures in addressing the vaccine’s devastating toll.
Modernity.news reports: The Daily Mail article cited Yale researchers who identified a new illness called Post-Vaccination Syndrome (PVS), marked by “headaches, dizziness and ‘brain fog’.”
These symptoms “usually develop within 48 hours of receiving a vaccine and become more severe in the following days and weeks, and can persist over time,” the article reported.
The Daily Mail said the Yale team found:
“Brain fog was reported in 78 percent of people”
“Difficulty concentrating or focusing was reported by 73 percent”
The article also cited a 2021 study showing these symptoms could be a sign of cerebral venous thrombosis, a deadly brain blood clot.
Exercise Intolerance
According to the Daily Mail, exercise intolerance was one of the most frequently reported injuries among those suffering from PVS.
“80 percent of people” with PVS experienced it, the article reported. A separate 2023 preprint study found “71 percent of people reporting PVS” also suffered from it.
The article explained the mechanism: “despite the heart and lungs functioning normally, the body isn’t able to properly extract and use oxygen from the blood.”
Fatigue & Difficulty Sleeping
The Daily Mail report also brought up extreme fatigue and sleep dysfunction.
“85 percent of people with PVS” experienced excessive fatigue. 70 percent had “trouble falling or staying asleep,” the article said.
It cited a 2023 study showing:
13 percent had “moderate to severe insomnia”
“7.4 percent were consistently waking up too early”
The article warned that poor sleep worsens brain fog, can “lead to mood changes like irritability and depression,” and increases the risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
Myocarditis
The Daily Mail admitted that “mRNA shots have been shown to cause myocarditis”—inflammation of the heart muscle that can result in heart failure, arrhythmias, or sudden death.
One Israeli study cited in the article found a rate of one myocarditis case per 50,000 vaccinations. The article also referenced Canadian experts who called for more research, warning the extent of vaccine-induced heart damage is “under-documented.”
The article reported that the CDC recognizes myocarditis and pericarditis as “established side effects of Covid vaccination,” though it does not disclose the number of cases.
Tinnitus
The Daily Mail article brought up tinnitus—a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears—as another injury that’s been linked to COVID vaccines.
A 2024 study cited in the article found:
47 cases per million complete vaccinations with Pfizer’s shot
51 with Moderna
70 with Johnson & Johnson’s
The article also mentioned: “the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has about 12,000 reports of tinnitus following a Covid vaccination.”
Blood Clots and Low Platelets (TTS)
The Daily Mail explained that “a rare but serious condition” called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) has been linked to the J&J vaccine.
The article cited a 2021 CDC report that found 38 cases of TTS within 15 days of vaccination, four of which were fatal.
A 2022 Norwegian study referenced in the article calculated a rate of one TTS case per 26,000 vaccinations.
One woman told The Daily Mail that her doctor said her clotting disorder was likely caused by the COVID vaccine “because he couldn’t find any other reason.”
Numbness or Burning Sensations
The Daily Mail piece also cited a UK study that found paresthesia—“tingling, numbness, prickling or burning sensations”—was one of the most frequently reported vaccine side effects.
Among PVS patients, the article said:
80 percent reported tingling and numbness
58 percent reported burning sensations
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
The Daily Mail article explained that GBS is a nerve disorder that causes paralysis and, in severe cases, death—and that “recent studies have found evidence suggesting an increased risk of GBS among adults aged 18 and older due to the Covid vaccination.”
According to the article, 100 cases of GBS were reported after 12.6 million J&J vaccinations.
A 2023 review referenced by the article showed that people receiving vector-based COVID vaccines were “over twice as likely to develop GBS.” In most cases, symptoms started within 21 days of the first dose.
Bottom Line
The Daily Mail has now published a nearly 4,000-word breakdown of vaccine injuries—neurological breakdowns, heart inflammation, tinnitus, paralysis, blood disorders, and more—confirming everything health officials spent years denying.
They said it was “safe and effective.”
Now even the mainstream press is admitting: you might be vaccine-injured.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner happened last night and one topic that repeatedly came up at the event was the decline of Joe Biden and the media’s failure to cover it.
More than one speaker said the media bears ‘some’ of the responsibility for not getting the story out there, but that’s simply not accurate. They bear all of the responsibility. Right up until Biden’s disastrous debate performance last spring, the media covered up the story. They accused people of pushing ‘cheap fakes’ of Biden right up until the moment when they could no longer hide the truth from the public.
Alex Thompson of Axios, who covered the subject more than most, not that that’s saying much, was given an award for his work.
Axios reporter hits media for whiffing on coverage of Biden’s decline at White House Correspondents’ Dinner
Journalist Alex Thompson called out the press for failing to properly report on former President Joe Biden’s declining health at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.
Thompson, a reporter for Axios, accepted the White House Correspondents’ Association’s Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage. His reporting closely documented Biden’s disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump, the events leading up to it, and Biden’s eventual decision to exit the race. In his acceptance speech, Thompson acknowledged that the press fell short in covering the story of Biden’s decline.
“Being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves. We, myself included, missed a lot of this story,” Thompson said, speaking before a room of journalists from major news outlets.
He added, “President Biden’s decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception.”…
Thompson said the media’s failure to investigate and report more aggressively on Biden’s condition contributed to growing public distrust of journalism.
but the rest of us that won the popular vote knew a long time ago that he was toast when he vacationed for 544 days during his presidency. The lies keep coming out
A groundbreaking study reveals that women using mifepristone, the abortion pill, face a staggering 22 times higher risk of life-threatening complications than claimed by the FDA and Danco Laboratories, the manufacturer of Mifeprex. This challenges the narrative from abortion advocates and corporate media that the pill, responsible for over half of U.S. abortions, is “safe and effective.”
Conducted by Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson and Director of Data Analysis Jamie Bryan Hall, the study is the largest known analysis of abortion pill outcomes. It examined insurance claims from Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and private insurers, covering 865,727 mifepristone prescriptions dispensed to 692,873 women between 2017 and 2023.
The findings highlight a significant gap between reported and actual risks, raising urgent questions about the safety of mifepristone. As the debate over abortion access intensifies, this data could reshape public policy and medical guidelines surrounding the use of abortion pills.
Thefederalist.com reports: Approximately 10.9 percent of those claims, or 94,605 chemical abortions, involved potentially life-threatening “serious adverse events” such as emergency room visits, hemorrhage, sepsis, infection, and/or follow-up surgeries for the women who had downed the abortion drug within the last 45 days.
They died with Covid, but not from it, but it didn’t fit the narrative.
The following is from Children’s Health Defense.
A new peer-reviewed study published in Scientific Reports found that nearly half of the deaths labeled as “COVID-19” in seven hospitals in Athens, Greece, were not caused by the virus. The study reviewed 530 deaths from January to August 2022 and found that only 25.1% were directly due to COVID-19.
In another 29.6% of cases, COVID-19 contributed to the outcome—but a full 45.3% of patients died from unrelated causes while simply testing positive at the time of death.
A clinical review revealed major inconsistencies between official death certificates and patient case histories:
Of 204 certificates listing COVID-19 as the direct cause of death, only 64.7% were confirmed.
Of 324 cases listing COVID-19 as a contributing factor, only 26.5% were confirmed after review.
The study also found:
More than half of patients who died from COVID-19, where vaccine status was known, were vaccinated.
Of those, 65.8% had received a booster, according to CHD’s Karl Jablonowski.
Inaccuracies on death certificates contributed to significant overcounts.
Hospital-acquired COVID infections were frequently misclassified as primary causes of death—especially among younger patients.
Younger patients who died with COVID-19 were more likely to have serious existing illnesses like organ failure or cancer.
Older patients who died from COVID-19 were more likely to receive oxygen or COVID-specific treatments like remdesivir.
Patients infectedduring their hospital stay were 130% more likely to be misclassified as having died from COVID-19.
“That the official reporting of death rates is that inflated, that far into the pandemic, strongly suggests the over-reporting was intentional.” — Dr. Clayton J. Baker, Internal medicine physician
Researchers noted that Greece’s official policy classified any patient who tested positive at the time of death as a COVID death—regardless of clinical findings. Experts say similar policies were used across Western nations.
“There was a financial desire to make a lot of money from rapidly developed mRNA vaccines and to set a precedent for this in the future. As infections from SARS-CoV-2 virus were generally quite mild, it was necessary to scare people into thinking COVID-19 was far more severe, and far more prevalent, than it actually was.” — Dr. David Bell, Public health physician, Biotech consultant
The study relied on full clinical audits, physician interviews, and patient chart reviews—offering a more accurate analysis than studies based on administrative codes. Researchers selected the Omicron wave for its lower severity, where death misclassification was easier to detect.
Karl Jablonowski said the damage extended far beyond recordkeeping. He said the study’s results show that public health decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic were guided by fear instead of scientific or medical criteria.
“Regardless of what the intention was behind the over-exaggeration of COVID-19 deaths, the consequences led us down the wrong path … We isolated with closed doors and mask coverings. We administered experimental drugs and experimental vaccines. Our hospitals became places of harm.” — Karl Jablonowski
Notice I didn’t say climate because global warming is a lie, a money laundering tool that is losing steam (see what I did there?)
Anyway, from Watts Up With That, why warming up is better than cooling.
Here in England this spring, there was dry, sunny weather through most of March, followed by gentle showers in April. And here is the opening couplet of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Tales of Caunterbury, written more than six centuries ago in 1387:
From the medieval climate optimum to the modern climate optimum, the weather in these islands has changed scarcely at all. The drought of March, the sweet April showers, the birdsong day and night, the bursting forth of primroses, bluebells, daffodils and other spring flowers, all are today just as Chaucer described them in the Middle Ages.
The wine-dark sea
One can even go back to Homer, in the 8th Century BC, who talked of the Mediterranean as “the wine-dark sea”. And here am I, almost three millennia later, recently recovered from a long illness caused by defective medication with no active ingredient in it, having climbed to the 1230ft summit of the Akamas peninsula in Cyprus, doing a Canute and challenging the wine-dark sea not to rise. The sea was wine-dark in Homer’s time. It is still wine-dark today.
Where, then, are the drastic changes in climate and consequent catastrophes and cataclysms so luridly predicted by the climate Communists? Where are the mass extinctions? Why is the climate much as it was in the Middle Ages? Why are ten times as many dying of cold as of heat? Why are crop yields at record highs? Why is the planet greening so fast?
Cold, not heat, is the real killer
Silvio Canto Jr., at the splendid American Thinker blog, reminds us that “Earth Day” began on Lenin’s birthday, 22 April. He sets out some examples of the half-witted predictions made by the totalitarian far Left in the early 1970s, when the “green holy day” started:
Paul Ehrlich, in a 1969 essay entitled Eco-Catastrophe!, wrote: “Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born. By [1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”
In April 1970 he wrote in Mademoiselle: “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years”.
In the 1970 Earth Day issue of The Progressive, he sketched out his most alarmist scenario, telling readers that between 1980 and 1989 some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in what he called the “Great Die-Off.”
In the May 1970 issue of Audubon, he wrote that DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons “may have substantially reduced the life expectancy of people born since 1945.” He said that Americans born since 1946 now had a life expectancy of only 49 years, and he predicted that if current patterns continued this expectancy would reach 42 years by 1980, when it might level out. According to the most recent CDC report, life expectancy in the US is 78.6 years.
That year he predicted that “air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone”. He predicted that 200,000 Americans would die by 1973 during “smog disasters” in New York and Los Angeles.
Five years later he predicted that “Since more than nine-tenths of the original tropical rainforests will be removed in most areas within the next 30 years or so [i.e., by 2005], it is expected that half of the organisms in these areas will vanish with it.”
Kenneth Watt, an ecologist, said: “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate … that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill ’er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, ‘I’m very sorry, there isn’t any.’” Global oil production in 2024, at about 95 million barrels per day, was double the global oil output of 48 million barrels per day at the time of the first Earth Day in 1970.
He gave a speech predicting a pending Ice Age: “The world has been chilling sharply for about 20 years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an Ice Age.”
He also told Time that “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.”
Barry Commoner, a Washington University biologist, wrote in the Earth Day issue of Environment: “We are in an environmental crisis that threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.”
He also predicted that decaying organic pollutants would consume all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, suffocating freshwater fish.
George Wald, a Harvard biologist, estimated that “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years [by 1985 or 2000] unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
The New York Times, on its editorial page the day after the first Earth Day, wrote: “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”
Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, wrote in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness: “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.”
Peter Gunter, a professor at North Texas State University, wrote in 1970: “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China, the Near East and Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions… By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” The prediction of famine in South America has come to pass only in Venezuela and only due to socialism, not due to environmental reasons.
Life Magazine reported in January 1970: “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution … by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching Earth by one half.”
Harrison Brown, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated that humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000, while lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990.
Senator Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look: “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”
None of these lurid fantasies, mere pretexts for totalitarian control measures, has materialized.
While I have been ill, I have been quietly working on our team’s climatological research. For an update on our result, now published as an extended abstract after peer review, search YouTube for “Tom Nelson Monckton”.
I have also had long and detailed conversations with two Fellows of the Royal Society, who are justifiably concerned at the Society’s propensity to promulgate only the official narrative on questions such as global warming and are preparing to do something about it.
We have already notched up a useful initial victory. Several Communist Fellows had decided that now that Elon Musk is for some reason no longer a hero of the Left they should call a meeting of the Royal Society to strip him of his Fellowship.
Many Americans believe the Biden administration brought four of the worst years we have encountered in the past half century, if not longer, for the nation and the American spirit. The purpose of presenting here the most damaging actions of those four years is to recall how we allowed ourselves to go off the rails for that time, and the effects wrought, so as to not repeat them or anything similar in our future.
These five failings are presented in the order of significance regarding harm to America: financial, psychological, and social effects.
1. COVID Mandates. Many books will be written to document all the mistakes made in addressing COVID, but the focus here is on specific government mandates and actions to support their positions, at the overt cost of freedom. Here we must trust in your memory all the events the government created to lead to virtual panic in the citizenry and shutdown of the economy in overreaction to a virus that primarily threatened the elderly and those with multiple co-morbidities — an estimated 1% of the population.
Some of us were stunned at the startling overreach of government mandates, mask wearing, social distancing, vaccination, and enforcing compliance potentially with termination of employment or even arrest. Tens of millions of Americans were displaced by government shutdown orders, including massive job losses due to shuttering, relocations, and school closures.
Yet the resulting economic devastation is routinely blamed on the virus itself, instead of the government’s heavy-handed response. Hopefully, we, the citizenry, learned a number of lessons from this nightmarish experience.
2. Mass Unvetted Migration. We do not know the exact numbers, a reflection of how chaotic the inflow from an estimated one hundred countries was. Eight million migrants, according to CBP data and independent estimates, entered illegally during 2021–2024, unfettered, virtually welcomed, during the Biden administration. No country in modern history has allowed that level of mass migration.
It is interesting that questions regarding the reason behind the Biden administration’s policy seem never to be asked. The disruption is massive, broaching all social spheres from education to public welfare, healthcare, and crime. But beyond those quantifiable impacts lies the problem that these illegal immigrants demonstrate no evident desire to adopt American civic values, language, or have any intention to assimilate or to have pride in becoming an American. Instead, we compound our multicultural divisiveness issues in a now overflowing “salad bowel” approach instead of the historically effective “melting pot.
3. Multiple Trillion Dollar Government Spending Programs. When Democratic leaders pretended they wanted to put Biden on their imaginary Democratic Mount Rushmore, the reason was all the additional government spending he got the Democrat Congress to pass. As Ted Kennedy said, “The answer is more money. Now, what is the question?”
Between Trump’s COVID relief and Biden’s “American Rescue Plan” programs, intended to clumsily correct the government shutdown of the economy, the givebacks cost $4.1 trillion dollars. This, like the other programs, was effectively a wealth transfer from taxpayers along with a permanent increase to the national debt.
Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act claimed $1.2 trillion in funding, including $550 billion in new spending. Have there been any notable actual infrastructure programs? Biden’s plan to pay for it was 87,000 new IRS agents to enforce compliance with the vast tax code, mostly directed at small businesses.
Biden’s “American Families Plan” cost $1.8 trillion. This is also almost entirely new welfare programs and again, a wealth transfer from taxpayers to non-taxpayers in the administration’s move toward “crib to grave” socialism.
The ironically named “Inflation Reduction Act,” called for $891 billion in total spending — including $783 billion on green energy, and three more years of Affordable Care Act subsidies, that is, more welfare.
Together, these come to about $8 trillion dollars of new government expenditures in its endless quest to expand its reach at the expense of those 50% of families that pay taxes.
If even one of these programs had resulted in tangible benefits to the public good — like real infrastructure — we might forgive the cost. But instead, all we have is debt.
4. The New Treatment of Crime and Justice. This is a manifestation of the “social justice” movement, precipitated from the George Floyd death in Minneapolis in 2020. In the ensuing riots and “mostly peaceful” protests in 140 cities, there was an excess of unpunished crimes. These riots resulted in at least 25–30 deaths, caused over $2 billion in property damage, and were followed by widespread prosecutorial leniency in the name of “social justice.” They also triggered the “defund the police” movement and in some jurisdictions the apparent end of prosecuting many crimes, such as shoplifting.
Another turn involved lawfare against political opponents originating with district attorneys aided by the Department of Justice. Efforts in particular were focused on preventing a Trump second term by means of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, unconstitutional exorbitant fines for fabricated offenses, and the effort in numerous states to take him off ballot for the next Presidency.
Now we have a dilemma the Supreme Court must address: setting a boundary on the jurisdiction of any single district court judge, of which there are 677. Can one halt the efforts of the Executive branch in executing Executive branch functions? SCOTUS must quickly fix this.
5. The Biden Administration Executive Order to Focus on DEI. It was with immense pride that Biden announced that a newly invented diversity, equity, and inclusion policy would be the central effort of all his 440-plus executive agencies.
This policy embraced fringe social fads, centered on identity politics as some sort of moral high ground, and was favored over meritocracy. To enforce the policy, many agencies adopted de facto standards that discriminated against white men, prompting numerous lawsuits, including one filed by air traffic controller applicants overtly rejected due to their race and gender.
This policy, and the focus on pronouns, identity language, and fringe gender ideologies, became a cultural flashpoint, alienating the broader public from a government meant to serve all.
Again, this is a tribute to Denny, the Grouchy Old Cripple who left us a few years ago.
This week was easy. The most self-absorbed and least deserving person of what she has practically announced she was the Asshole of the Week on her podcast. She lived the high life and wasted millions of taxpayer’s dollars on her vacations. She contributed almost nothing except hate, racism, horrible tasting unhealthy lunches for school kids, and divisiveness. She sure as hell didn’t love the country.
I give you Michelle Obama:
Michelle Obama has finally revealed the real reason she skipped President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, and it’s every bit as shallow as you’d expect from someone of her caliber.
In a recent episode of her podcast she co-hosts with her brother, “IMO With Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson,” she admitted that her absence wasn’t just about principle — it was about her wardrobe.
She had the audacity to say, “It started with not having anything to wear.”
Let that sink in. A former first lady, with access to the best designers in the world, claims she couldn’t attend an historic event because she didn’t have the right outfit.
This is the second time Michelle’s absence has been justified, and it’s somehow worse than the first attempt, when her team leaked that she’s “not one to plaster on a pleasant face and pretend for protocol’s sake.”
That excuse was bad enough, reeking of self-righteousness, but this new wardrobe confession takes her hubris to a whole new level of absurdity.
She doubled down on her vanity, saying, “I mean, I had affirmatively, cause I’m always prepared for any funeral, anything.”
So, she’s prepared for funerals — events that honor the dead — but a presidential inauguration, a cornerstone of the American republic, isn’t worth the effort?
Her reasoning gets even more infuriating as she explains, “I walk around with the right dress, I travel with clothes just in case something pops off.”
This isn’t just vanity — it’s a calculated display of privilege, where she admits to always being ready for appearances, but not for duty.
She continued, “So I was like, if I’m not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team, I don’t even want to have a dress ready, right? Because it’s so easy to just say, let me do the right thing.”
The “right thing” here would have been showing up, setting aside personal disdain for the sake of her country, but Michelle couldn’t be bothered.
You can watch the whole infuriating interview below, with the relevant remarks beginning around the 43-minute mark:
More bad news from the Covid Jab. So much for safe and effective.
An alarming study involving over 2 million participants has confirmed that Covid mRNA “vaccines” cause devastating long-term harm by sabotaging people’s immune systems.
The major study found that mRNA injections attack thyroid function, making recipients vulnerable to deadly diseases such as cancer.
The group of leading researchers behind the study is sounding the alarm with an urgent warning about the long-term effects of Covid mRNA injections on thyroid health.
The study was led by renowned neurology and radiology experts Drs. Kai-Lun Cheng and Hsiang-Lin Lee, both with Chung Shan Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan.
The groundbreaking study was published by Oxford University Press in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
During the study, which included over 2.3 million patients, the researchers used the TriNetX federated data platform, which aggregates real-world electronic medical records.
The researchers analyzed a staggering 2,333,496 patients through a retrospective cohort study spanning two years.
Half of the group was vaccinated for Covid and the other half was unvaccinated.
The study found that Covid “vaccines” influence the incidence of thyroid dysfunction, including subacute thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism.
Safe and effective, just like if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, lying democrat Presidents.
A UCSF study found vaccinated, COVID-naïve individuals were 5.8 to 7.2 times more likely to be hospitalized than unvaccinated people with prior infection. The data challenges previous claims that vaccines reduce severe outcomes, suggesting instead a higher risk for the vaccinated group.
The findings are highly statistically significant (p-value 4e-15), making chance an unlikely explanation. Critics question why such risks weren’t detected in clinical trials, calling the oversight a “broken” system.
Though indirect, modeled estimates suggest vaccinated individuals may be 3 to 6 times more likely to die than their unvaccinated peers. Concerns about cardiovascular and neurological complications linked to vaccines add weight to the findings.
Public health messaging previously framed vaccines as low-risk and essential, while the study suggests the opposite for certain groups. Delayed publication (two years post-rollout) has fueled accusations of data suppression and eroded institutional trust.
Critics demand reexamination of vaccine policies, citing ethics, informed consent and natural immunity. The study underscores the need for independent research, transparency and candid dialogue to rebuild public trust in health institutions.
A groundbreaking study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), published April 18, 2025, has upended conventional wisdom about the risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccine versus the risks of the virus itself. The preprint research, led by Dr. Bhargava, found that vaccinated individuals who were previously uninfected (COVID-naïve) faced a 6-fold higher risk of hospitalization compared to unvaccinated people who recovered from the virus. The study’s startling findings — validated by highly statistically significant data — challenge longstanding recommendations for vaccines and raise urgent questions about public health messaging, transparency and vaccine safety.
“The cure is worse than the disease”: Study details and implications
“This didn’t happen by chance,” emphasized Steve Kirsch, an early pandemic advocate and critic of vaccine policies, who reviewed the study. “The odds [p-value of 4e-15] are astronomical, and the effect size is monstrous. The medical community needs to explain why a signal this huge didn’t surface in clinical trials.”
The findings also suggest potential mortality consequences. Although the study’s mortality data is imputed through modeled estimates, the report cites an analysis by ChatGPT, a language model, which inferred vaccinated individuals may have been 3 to 6 times more likely to die than unvaccinated peers with similar exposures. This conclusion, while indirect, underscores concerns about adverse events linked to the vaccine, such as cardiovascular and neurological complications, which have raised alarms in prior research.
A turn in the tide: Shifting risk perceptions
The paradigm shift revealed by the UCSF study contradicts earlier messaging that emphasized vaccines as the primary defense against severe outcomes. Public health authorities and media outlets repeatedly promoted vaccines as reducing hospitalization and mortality risks. However, the new data suggests precisely the opposite for a significant segment of the population:
Vaccinated individuals (naïve to infection): 6.24% hospitalization rate.
“This is a train wreck,” Kirsch added, noting that the “cure” (vaccination) has now proven far more dangerous than the disease. The analysis further highlights that while uninfected people might avoid infection altogether, vaccinated individuals “locked in” a guaranteed risk of 6.24%.
Historically, vaccine policies in 2020–2022 framed the shot as virtually risk-free and vital to ending the pandemic. By contrast, studies like this — one of the first large-scale efforts to compare vaccinated vs. unvaccinated post-infection outcomes — suggest a severe blind spot in risk assessment.
Criticism loosens: Calls for accountability and transparency
The UCSF study’s revelations have already drawn scrutiny from medical professionals and health advocates. Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, questioned the ethics of current vaccination campaigns in a statement to The Epoch Times:
“I do not understand how a physician dedicated to patient care would interpret this data as grounds for endorsing additional shots.”
Critics argue the findings are particularly damning because the initial clinical trials, which guided early vaccine rollouts, failed to detect the now-evident risks. “How could a trial estimate this?” asked Kirsch. “The signal is too loud to ignore. The system is broken.”
And no one says a thing about it. What do you want to bet it’s China
A $100 million scheme funneled through progressive groups like the Sixteen Thirty Fund has swayed ballot initiatives in 25 states, including Ohio, targeting abortion, election law changes and drug decriminalization.
A 2021 Federal Election Commission ruling allowed foreign nationals to fund ballot measures — bypassing traditional oversight — sparking bipartisan criticism over foreign interference.
Over $14 million in foreign-linked funds supported abortion expansion and drug decriminalization in Ohio, despite 85% of voters opposing foreign influence. The state later banned foreign contributions, but not before potential gerrymandering impacts.
Watchdogs warn that without federal action to close the FEC loophole, foreign meddling will persist — turning ballot initiatives into ideological battlegrounds. Bipartisan momentum is growing, but the future of election integrity remains uncertain.
A $100 million foreign dark money scheme, uncovered by the America First Policy Institute, reveals how anonymous donations from abroad have swayed ballot initiatives in 25 states, including Ohio’s controversial 2024 abortion and drug decriminalization measures. The findings revive debates over election integrity, congressional inaction and the growing power of progressive groups like the Sixteen Thirty Fund to bypass state legislatures. The investigations also highlight a 2021 Federal Election Commission ruling that opened the door to foreign funding, despite widespread bipartisan public opposition.
There will be a number of Covid posts today, but it will show they knew, they knew it would cause damage and they did it anyway. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine prevented and cured Covid-19.
1. So more and more truth is coming out about Covid and the vaxx. At this point, people aren’t taking the mRNA shots anymore, so… not a help. Unless of course, it leads to accountability and the restoration of our individual rights to refuse anything even remotely like this in the future. Or more importantly, if people energize their gonads and take back their God given rights and do not permit anything like this to happen in the future. Which we almost certainly won’t do.
“The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally.
What makes Controligarchs different from oligarchs is that they really do want to control every aspect of our lives.
“These people have like a god complex but on steroids,” Bruner said.
Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published on 30 January 2024. We are republishing it as an article, ‘Billionaires Try to Shrink World’s Population, Report Says‘, published by The Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) in 2009 about a meeting of the ‘Good Club’ has resurfaced. “An article in the Times of London, headlined ‘Billionaire Club in Bid to Curb World Population’, said the issues discussed in the top-secret meeting included health care, education and – by far the most controversial – slowing the global population growth,” WSJ wrote..
“Of the 3,100 or so billionaires in the world, there’s only about 30 in this book [Controligarchs] … People like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, George Soros … and his son Alex Soros – these guys use their wealth to do not-so-great things,” Bruner told host of First Things Mark Bauerlein.
He crunched the numbers and found that these billionaires, in some cases, have doubled their net worth since the beginning of 2020. “Mark Zuckerberg went from $60 billion or so to almost $120 billion today through the pandemic because everyone was locked down, stayed at home and was scrolling through Facebook … and Jeff Bezos close to doubled his net worth,” he said.
It’s not surprising that while small businesses were closed and schools were closed, etc., online businesses would soar. But what is surprising is Bill Gates and his takeover of farmland.
“They used the pandemic, in the words of Klaus Schwab the World Economic Forum founder, as an opportunity. The pandemic was an opportunity to rejigger society and ‘build back better’ in a ‘greener’ way,” Bruner said. (Schwab just resigned as head on Monday under allegation of misuse of funds at the WEF)
“People didn’t really understand in July 2020 when Klaus Schwab announced ‘The Great Reset’ what a pandemic had to do with climate change. But we’re starting to see that ‘climate change’ is just the next crisis they want to leverage as an opportunity to not just get richer but to construct systems of tyrannical control.”
The systems of tyrannical control, Bruner explained, include food control, energy control, electric vehicles, cell or mobile phones, the Internet of Things, smart cities and financial control.
Controligarchs are Depopulationists
The inaugural meeting of the Good Club took place in 2009 at Rockefeller University in Manhattan, New York. The Good Club is the name given to the tiny global elite of billionaire “philanthropists.” Some of the members are familiar figures such as Bill Gates, George Soros, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, David Rockefeller and Ted Turner. But there are others, too, like business giants Eli and Edythe Broad, who are equally wealthy but less well known. All told, at the time its members were worth $125bn.
“Bill Gates, George Soros and David Rockefeller are kind of like the three co-hosts [of the first meeting of the Good Club],” Bruner said. “They invited half a dozen or a dozen of their billionaire buddies … They all got together in the spring of 2009.”
“The context is the tail end of the global financial crisis … they could sense that the ‘peasants’ were about to get unruly … The other part [of the context] is that Barack Obama has just been elected president [and] a lot of people at the Good Club meeting in New York had done a lot to get him there, George Soros especially, so they wanted to leverage the Obama opportunity to their advantage.”
At this meeting, Bill Gates suggested that they find an umbrella cause that they could unite their resources around to solve. They could have picked, for example, malaria, poverty, starvation or climate change as causes to unite their resources around. But “this meeting was all about solving the problem, in their minds, of overpopulation,” Bruner said. The Good Club is all about pouring money into projects that ensure there are fewer people in the world. “Their way of helping humanity is to make sure there is less of it,” Bruner said.
“Most of these [Controligarchs] in this book are sort of these Malthusian, overpopulation types who think that the Earth is overpopulated … That’s a myth, it’s never been proven conclusively that the world is overpopulated.
“There’s a lot of evidence to the contrary, that [the world] can hold a lot more people than [today’s 8 or 9 billion]. Bill Gates says we need to cut that by 15%. Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, is a little more extreme – he thinks that under 2 billion is the ideal population of the planet. Other World Economic Forum agenda setters, Jane Goodall … says closer to 500 million. They haven’t publicised what they think is the ideal total global population should be but it’s a lot less, billions less.”
Controligarchs are Heavily Invested in Digital IDs
Bill Gates is heavily invested in digital identities (“IDs”) through various projects for digitising and creating central databases that hold every piece of information about us, Bruner said.
“All the Big Tech, all the Controligarchs, as I call them, poured their money into ID2020,” Bruner said. “And the supranational organisations – the World Health Organisation and the United Nations – were all very on board with this … digital IDs would be a great way to keep track of people’s vaccination records – they said this before the pandemic,” Bruner said.
“This digital ID can essentially become like a Chinese-style social credit score where if you are in the wrong caste of society – you’re among the unvaccinated, let’s say – you’re not going to be able to access goods and services … If you don’t comply with some government mandate … your digital ID will block entry for you.”
In November 2023, the 50-in-5 campaign was launched. It aims to implement digital public infrastructure in 50 countries by 2028. Digital public infrastructure is an underlying network of components such as digital payments, ID, and data exchange systems, which is a critical accelerator of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”). 50-in-5 is a “country-led” advocacy campaign in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
“We are just around the corner from this becoming not an optional thing,” Bruner said.
“These people have like a god complex but on steroids,” he added.
The UN continues to be the most Anti-Semitic organization globally. They not only excluded the Jewish state on the day of Remembrance, they compared Israelis to Nazis.
On Thursday, April 24th, Israel and Jews around the world marked Yom Hashore, or Holocaust Memory Day. At the same time, to paraphrase Usun’s Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the United Nations unleashed great evil in the world: Holocaust revisionism.
First of all, there is a collaborative campaign to cut ties between the Holocaust and Israel.
Yom Hashoah was created by the state of Israel in April 1955. However, on April 21, 2025, the UN commemorated Yom Hashoah by holding an event at the UN headquarters in New York City without input or invitation for anyone from Israel to participate. Israel, organized and hosted by the United Nations Agency for Global Communications, is never mentioned.
Rose Girone, the oldest living Holocaust survivor, died at 113
Furthermore, currently hanging from the walls of the UN headquarters outside the Security Council is a “Holocaust” exhibit that wiped out references to Israel, even in sections on “after the Holocaust,” “aftermath,” and “memory.”
The Holocaust was the fate of Jews in the presence of Israel. Most of the survivors returned to their ancient homelands. As a embodiment of Jewish self-determination, Israel is the ultimate hope and commitment to “never again.”

The UN’s omission of Israel is not oversight. It’s part of a much broader, insidious agenda.
The United Nations has arranged consecutive Holocaust exhibits for an exhibition entitled “The United Nations and the Palestine Issues.” Onlookers are encouraged to make the obscene similarity of Jewish experiences in the Holocaust into Palestinian Arab experiences. The message is that the creation of a Jewish state was a major mistake (“violated the provisions of the UN Charter”) and was forced onto peaceful Arabs without an agency.
The current UN Holocaust exhibition has also eliminated the important features of the original exhibition since 2008. This does not include the infamous photographs of a naked skeleton Jewish man stuffed into wooden barracks at the Buchenwald forced camp, which was Nobel Prize winner Ellie Wiesel.
Survivors of the Buchenwald concentration camp remain in the barracks after their release by the Allies on April 16, 1945. Ellie Wiesel, author of Nobel Prize-winning “Knight,” is on the second berth seventh from the left. (Corvis/Corvis via Getty Images)
There was also an infamous picture of a terrifying little boy in the air as the Nazis pointed to him a rifle for the crime of being Jewish.
They were replaced by a slideshow containing dozens of happy faces doing normal things before, after the war, and after the war. No crematorium, humans catalogued by open holes in the dead, tattoos of numbers, or Jews weakened in striped uniforms behind barbed wire.
Dirty Holocaust murals find new homes at Shore Museum in Rome
Even the current exhibition title generally reads as “a warning to all people of the dangers of hatred, prejudice, racism and prejudice.” Similarly in 2024, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opened the United Nations “International Day” to commemorate the Holocaust by talking about “anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim prejudice.”

This is why people don’t trust politicians. This isn’t even a good lie. No one covers more for democrats and/or blacks than the media. Let’s not forget that this is the guy who delivered the Black vote for Biden when Bernie was winning in exchange for black women everything, from SCOTUS to the FAA.
How he can say this is why we should have term limits.
Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on MSNBC this weekend and claimed that Democrats are having problems because the media isn’t doing enough to carry their message to the people.
Yeah, right. Everyone knows that the media is famously in the tank for the Republican Party. Amazingly, this story is even real.
Rep. Clyburn Blames Media for Democrats’ Dropping Ratings
The media is to blame for the Democratic Party’s dropping approval ratings because reporters won’t share its messaging, according to Rep. James Clyburn.
“I think the message from the Democratic Party is a good one,” the South Carolina Democrat told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, reports The Hill on Saturday. “The problem we’ve got, I’ll say, is that we have to depend on the media to deliver it.”
Clyburn’s comments came after a question from Velshi, host of “The Last Word,” who on Friday told the lawmaker that the perception of a lack of messaging from the party is leading voters to lose faith, particularly after the losses in the 2024 election.
The congressman, said The Washington Post is a good example of the messaging issue, pointing to the relationship between its owner, Jeff Bezos, and President Donald Trump.
“We have The Washington Post, for instance, caving to this wannabe dictator and we’ve got other media entities that seem to rather push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers or their television sets and not really give a fair hearing or reporting to what we’re doing,” Clyburn said.
Polls are showing dropping approval ratings for the Democratic Party.
Nuclear scientist Digby Macdonald said that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not the primary driver of global temperature changes.
In a recent episode of EpochTV’s Bay Area Innovators program, Macdonald said that temperature rises first, followed by CO2.
He pointed to the example of a carbonated drink and how a rise in temperature will cause the drink to release its CO2 faster, causing it to go flat.
“That’s the very reason why you put your beer in a refrigerator,” he said. “If you want the fizzy drink to be tangy … you put it in the refrigerator so the CO2 remains in the drink.”
Macdonald said one of the reasons for the change in climate is the Milankovitch cycle—the regular variations in the elliptical path the earth travels around the sun.
He said that cycle changes every 100,000 years and an ice age occurs when it’s the most elliptical because the earth is receiving a lot less solar radiation and heat.
This cycle, combined with the earth’s wobble and sunspot activity, are the drivers of climate, he said.
“There’s nothing that you and I can do about that,” Macdonald said. “That’s okay, because if we rely upon the historical record, we go through these maxima and minima.”
He said during the Roman period it was one of the maxima, in which temperatures were about two to four degrees higher than now, and there was a large advance in civilization.
If you listen to him talk, you can hear the SS in Germany in the 1940’s. They want to rule the world. These are the, you’ll own nothing and love it while we feed you bugs assholes.
Anyway, there is a chart below that names the Satan worshipers who run the WEF. I found Al Gore, but not John Kerry. The rest of the world they are trying to dominate is there.
Here goes:
On the same day Pope Francis—known for his inclusive beliefs—passed away, another globalist fell: Klaus Schwab, the architect of the World Economic Forum’s dystopian agenda, announced he was stepping down from the WEF board. It marks the end of an era for Schwab, who championed radical wokeness, bug eating, mass vaccination campaigns, population control, and climate de-growth policies through what often resembled digital communism—social credit scores, central bank digital currencies, and many more China-like policies. Meanwhile, cultural shifts across the Americas signal a rising movement toward traditional values, sending the WEF’s ideological woke grip on governments, non-government organizations, corporations, the church, and society into disarray.
“Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect,” Schwab wrote in a statement.
Schwab stepped down as executive chairman one year ago (read: here), with former Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende taking over daily operations. WEF said Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was appointed board chairman in the interim and that a search committee for replacement had been appointed.
WEF stated:
“At a time when the world is undergoing rapid transformation, the need for inclusive dialogue to navigate complexity and shape the future has never been more critical. The Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum underlines the importance of remaining steadfast in its mission and values as a facilitator of progress. Building on its trusted role, the Forum will continue to bring together leaders from all sectors and regions to exchange insights and foster collaboration.”
Might recognize some of the WEF’s board members…
Schwab’s resignation also comes three months after President Trump told globalist CEOs at the WEF’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, “America is back.” It also follows Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, which nuked USAID programs that funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into corrupt NGOs.
Listen to him talk. I was waiting for the word Fuhrer to come out.
Klaus Schwab now admits that we're seeing a political revolution against his Great Reset plans.
Whether you want to believe it or not, he's finished. He might still be standing, but he's done.
source Plus Trump telling him and the WEF to pound sand
The only thing I can’t figure out is where they stand with the CCP. For them to take over the world, they have to deal with the other Hell bound leaders, the Chinese Government. I wonder where the Muslim’s weigh in on this crap. They worship Satan also.
America’s intel agencies launched one of the greatest witch hunts in U.S. history to cripple Trump and undermine the will of the American people.
Democrats and their media allies have run a lot of unsubstantiated hoaxes throughout the past several years. And while each is damaging in its own way, one of the biggest and arguably most destructive conspiracies perpetuated by these actors and Americans’ own government was the unsubstantiated narrative that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
Despite a complete lack of “actual” corroborating evidence, leftists spent years fomenting delusions that the New York-born billionaire, while in cahoots with the Kremlin, had masterminded a scheme to undermine American “democracy” and deny Hillary Clinton the White House. Even worse was many of these conspiracies were aided by U.S. intel agencies like the FBI, which concocted a years-long investigation (“Crossfire Hurricane”) into Trump’s first presidency using baseless “evidence” bought and paid for by a Clinton campaign-hired law firm.
While Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 analysis of the FBI’s antics confirmed what The Federalist had reported for years — that there was no evidenciary basis for the agency’s anti-Trump probe — the damage the conspiracy had done to Americans’ trust in elections was already complete. And now, almost two years after Durham’s bombshell report, newly released documents further prove the baselessness of the scheme.
Obtained by The Federalist late last week, the nearly 700 pages of government records offer an introspective look into the FBI’s efforts to undermine Trump using its crooked Crossfire Hurricane operation.
The Steele Dossier
To fully understand how the Russia collusion hoax came to fruition requires delving into the origins of Crossfire Hurricane.
In early to mid-2016, the Clinton campaign’s law firm, Perkins Coie, hired the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump ahead of the November contest. As The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland reported, to accomplish this task, Fusion subsequently hired ex-British spy Christopher Steele “in May or June of 2016 to focus on Trump’s connections to Russia, and by June 20, 2016, Steele had drafted the first of some 17 memoranda that would eventually compose what is now known colloquially as the Steele dossier.”
Steele’s “initial memorandum” — which contained bunk and salacious allegations about Trump — was then shopped by Steele to his FBI handler on July 5, 2016, Cleveland continued.
So, where did Steele acquire the dirt for his anti-Trump dossier?
As further confirmed in the newly unsealed records, which detail Steele’s September 2017 interview with FBI officials, the ex-spy acknowledged that his anti-Trump oppo research largely relied upon claims from a “primary subsource.” According to the records, Steele said this individual “is a US resident and is a native Russian, adding that there is no way [the source] could have the kind of access he has without being Russian.”
“Steele trained up his primary subsource, and Steele described him as a prolific asset,” the documents read.
In the years since Steele’s 2017 interview, the primary sub-source has been identified as Russian national Igor Danchenko. As noted by Cleveland, Danchenko was indicted in late 2021 for “making false statements to the FBI” and was “alleged to have invented some of the supposed intel contained in the dossier.” Danchenko was later acquitted by a Northern Virginia-based jury on charges of lying to the agency in October 2022.
The study documents the outcomes of 99 million people after they received Covid mRNA injections.
During the study, the researchers examined the official government data from eight countries.
Participants in the study included 99,068,901 Covid-vaccinated individuals.
The study has concluded that the injections are responsible for the global surge in sudden deaths and life-threatening illnesses.
The researchers found that staggering numbers of vaccinated people suffered serious complications such as heart failure, blood clots, strokes, brain disorders, and severely weakened immune systems.
Many of those tracked by the peer-reviewed study also died suddenly and unexpectedly.
The research was conducted by the Global Vaccine Data Network in New Zealand.
The study’s paper was published in the prestigious, world-renowned Vaccine journal.
Over the past three years, the study has documented the outcomes for 99 million people who were given Covid shots.
The most common serious medical side effects have been blood clots and myocarditis, both of which can be fatal.
Myocarditis is the inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium), according to the Mayo Clinic.
The inflammation reduces the heart’s ability to pump blood.
The condition weakens the heart so that the rest of the body doesn’t get enough blood.
Clots can form in the heart, leading to a stroke or sudden cardiac arrest.
Now, after studying almost 100 million vaccinated people, the new study has confirmed that “the shots from pharma giants, including Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca have been associated with rare occurrences of heart, brain, and blood disorders.”
Participants from eight different countries were monitored for upticks in 13 medical conditions.
The study revealed that besides a slight increase in neurological issues, the vaccines were also associated with dangerous blood and heart-related medical conditions.
The researchers discovered soaring numbers of people suffering from myocarditis after doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s and Moderna’s mRNA shots.
The study showed those getting AstraZeneca’s viral-vector shot had a 6.9-fold increased chance of pericarditis, an inflammation of the cardiac muscle.
The lead author of the study’s paper is Kristýna Faksová of the Department of Epidemiology Research at the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark.
And now the UK will be vying with Sweden to be the rape capital of the world
‘250K white British girls raped over 25 years – 90% by Muslims’: Viral video explained…
A video featuring Lord Malcolm Pearson of Rannoch has resurfaced, reigniting discussions about the UK’s grooming gang scandals – which are real.
In the clip, Pearson claims that approximately 250,000 young white British girls have been victims of rape and sexual abuse by Pakistani Muslim men over the past 25 years. He criticizes the use of the term “Asian” to describe these perpetrators, saying it’s a PC shield that hides the truth about the “religion of peace.”
The video is going viral again, so we wanted to look into it and see where that 250,000 number came from. It’s not easy to verify exact numbers when it comes to migrant crime—mainly because so many officials have been working overtime to cover it up for political reasons. But what we found comes from the site Full Fact, which breaks down the numbers from cases like Rotherham, Telford, and Newcastle.
Some widely shared posts on social media—including one shared on X by the platform’s owner, the businessman Elon Musk—have claimed that more than a million children have been victims of “grooming gangs” in the UK. We’ve also seen different estimates for the number of victims circulating, such as a figure of over 250,000.
We know that the sexual abuse of children is common, and often unreported. It is clear that thousands of children, many of them vulnerable, have been subject to appalling abuse by loosely defined networks of offenders, often known as “grooming gangs”, in cities and towns across the UK.
We have not been able to find a reliable estimate for the total number of victims, however. We therefore cannot say whether the figures quoted in these posts are right or wrong.
In short, Lord Pearson’s numbers are an estimate based on real cases like Rotherham, where at least 1,400 girls were abused between 1997 and 2013. Telford had over 1,000. Newcastle saw around 700. And those are just the towns that made headlines. Official reports admit the real number could be much higher, but they claim it’s impossible to know for sure—because so many cases were ignored, covered up, or never reported at all.

I’ve known that Harvard hasn’t turned out better students for decades. I had to work with them and they were speed bumps. Now, the institution is showing its’ colors of discrimination and Jew hating.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Announces Millions More in Grants Cut From Harvard – Threatens School’s Ability to Enroll Foreign Students:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a Wednesday press release that Noem unveiled the discontinuation of two grants from the department to Harvard worth more than $2.7 million. DHS also noted in the press release that the secretary requested “detailed records on Harvard’s foreign student visa holders’ illegal and violent activities” in a letter.
“Harvard bending the knee to antisemitism — driven by its spineless leadership — fuels a cesspool of extremist riots and threatens our national security,” Noem said in the release.
“With anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology poisoning its campus and classrooms, Harvard’s position as a top institution of higher learning is a distant memory. America demands more from universities entrusted with taxpayer dollars,” she added. One major detail of this story is the fact that if Harvard fails to comply with DHS requirements, they may lose the ability to enroll foreign students. That is huge.
Harvard depends on enrolling foreign students, many of whom pay full tuition price. This is hitting them where it hurts most. Right in the wallet.
Regarding Donald Trump’s commitment to stamping out both anti-Semitism and DEI-driven racial discrimination at Harvard and other elite “educational” enclaves, the first two options appear to be nonstarters. So, Trump being Trump, he’s going all in on the third option.
The Associated Press sets the stage this way: “On one side is Harvard, the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university, with a brand so powerful that its name is synonymous with prestige. On the other side is the Trump administration, determined to go further than any other White House to reshape American higher education.”
We’re not so sure Harvard’s name is still “synonymous with prestige” — not after having been slapped by the Supreme Court two years ago for its racially discriminatory admissions policies, and not after having been taken to the woodshed by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for its willingness to accommodate Jew hatred. But whatever.
Earlier this week, Harvard used its official X account to announce that it wouldn’t accede to the Trump administration’s demands to stamp out the DEI and the anti-Semitism in its midst: “The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government.”
Not the Bee called ‘em out: “The federal government forcing you to obey the constitution is not the same as the federal government taking you over. But when you’re as intellectually dull as the people that work at Harvard, that’s what you think.”
“Trust me, I’m a doctor” is a humorous expression that suggests one’s opinion should be accepted without question, regardless of whether the person offering the opinion has actual medical expertise or experience.
The assumption is that physicians are knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy. At one time, few would have questioned that assumption.
In 2013, Rasmussen Reports surveyed American adults and discovered that a significant majority, specifically 81%, trusted their doctor.
Four years later in 2017, that number was even higher, with 93% of patients trusting their regular doctor.
A funny thing happened in late 2019 and early 2020. In late 2019, almost no one had ever heard of COVID, coronavirus, or Wuhan.
The World Military Games were held, of all places, in Wuhan, China, in October 2019. A Department of Defense report from 2022 suggested that seven military members might have become infected with COVID-19.
We are only hearing about this now, two and a half years later. Apparently, this report was concealed among the Epstein files or Hunter Biden’s and Anthony Weiner’s laptops. However, the Biden administration covered up this report, just as they obscured their boss’s mental state and cognitive decline for four years.
Lies and coverups are a great way to destroy trust.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and his cabal lied to the public about the origins of COVID with their nonsensical “proximal origin” theory.
Why? To discredit President Donald Trump, who blamed China, and to conceal their illegal gain-of-function research.
Additionally, it may have been to maintain and protect money flow from China to the pharma-industrial complex.
This is one reason why trust in doctors and the medical profession has declined sharply over the past five years. You don’t have to take my word for it; I live and work in this new world of dwindling trust and observe it all around me.
The Journal of the American Medical Association conducted a survey of nearly half a million American adults across all 50 states and found, “The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with a continuing decrease in trust in physicians and hospitals, which may necessitate strategies to rebuild that trust to achieve public health priorities.”
The Wall Street Journal, taking a break from criticizing President Trump over immigration and tariffs, noticed the declining trust in doctors. This past February, they published an article questioning, “Why we don’t trust doctors like we used to.”
They referenced a Gallup survey that stated, “Americans’ ratings of US professions stay historically low.”
In other words, it’s not only doctors who are held in low esteem but much of the administrative class as well.
Interestingly, another group of healthcare professionals topped the list, “Three in four Americans consider nurses highly honest and ethical, making them the most trusted of 23 professions rated in Gallup’s annual measurement.” Those surveyed must have missed the incessant TikTok videos of nurses dancing in ICUs during COVID.
And to no surprise for anyone engaged in politics and the news, “The least trusted professions, with more than half of U.S. adults saying their ethics are low or very low, are lobbyists, members of Congress and TV reporters.”
But it’s doctors falling most rapidly from grace, “About 53% of those polled in 2024 gave a high or very high rating to medical doctors, down from 67% in 2021. It’s the biggest drop among 23 professions ranked by Gallup in that period.”
There are many reasons. The WSJ offered a partial explanation:
People are increasingly wary of a healthcare system that is supposed to make them feel better but instead leaves them stressed and frustrated. And while much ire is directed at insurance and pharmaceutical companies, doctors are the front face of the system and are losing the public’s confidence, as well.
However, they overlooked the elephant that entered the room in late 2019, an elephant named COVID.
Consider the business and school lockdowns that closed churches while allowing strip clubs and liquor stores to remain open. It was illegal to surf alone in the Pacific Ocean, yet thousands marching together on city streets in the name of BLM or Antifa were considered perfectly safe and healthy.
Masks were deemed ineffective at protecting against tiny viruses until they were mandated as effective and lifesaving. As Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged, social distancing was arbitrary; “It sort of just appeared.” How’s that for science? As Gomer Pyle would say, “Shazam, shazam!”
The vaccines proved to be neither safe nor effective. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be hearing about sudden deaths, blood clots, or myocarditis. Additionally, those vaccinated and boosted would not continue to contract COVID. Or as a Cleveland Clinic study found, the chance of getting COVID increased with an increasing number of vaccine doses and boosters.
Children lost years of education and social interaction to avoid catching a viral illness that posed virtually no risk of death to children. Jobs, businesses, and livelihoods were devastated due to political motivations rather than medical science. What impact does this have on trust in the medical system?
The U.S. healthcare system is failing Americans. The Commonwealth Fund reports, “The US spends the most on healthcare but has the worst health outcomes among high-income countries.” In most businesses, this would signal a death knell.
Then, there is the dysfunctional medical payment system, a combination of government and corporate control, which separates patients as consumers from physicians and hospitals as providers.
The Medicare fee schedule, which serves as the basis for all third-party insurance payments, will reduce reimbursement by 3% in 2025. This marks the fifth consecutive year of payment reductions, even as the cost of providing care continues to rise.
Physicians are compelled to see more patients throughout their workday, which results in spending less time with each individual and longer waits for appointments or to see the doctor during a brief office visit.
Patients are understandably frustrated and now see a doctor’s visit similar to a DMV trip.
The loss of trust extends beyond doctors; it includes the entire healthcare system, encompassing government-run health agencies and insurance companies.
The public has been overwhelmed by a continuous influx of misinformation, especially concerning the COVID pandemic, and has encountered censorship for asking questions or expressing complaints. Americans have been made to believe that our healthcare system is the best.
Although the system may benefit certain patients in particular situations, we fail spectacularly on a population level. Practicing medicine is no longer a calling or profession; instead, it has become a people-facing service trade influenced by price controls and an increasing number of rules and regulations.
Any private sector business operating in such a manner would quickly go out of business.
Trust lost is difficult to regain. Through transparency and disclosure, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. may step in the right direction.
However, the basic structure of the healthcare delivery system is deeply flawed, and elected officials have no interest in undertaking the major reforms necessary to right the ship.
Healthcare spending in the U.S. exceeds $5 trillion, accounting for 18% of GDP, and continues to grow each year. Meanwhile, life expectancy in the U.S. is declining, and chronic diseases are on the rise.
Physicians who observe and voice any concerns may face censorship or threats to their medical licenses or employment. I experienced such backlash from the medical-industrial complex during the pandemic.
Clearly, what we are doing is not working, yet we are following the definition of insanity — doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.
It’s no surprise that fewer Americans trust the healthcare system. The phrase “Trust me, I’m a doctor” is fading into obscurity like another ridiculous saying from the past: “More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.”
We must be able to trust our doctors with our lives and well-being. Can we still do that?
A transgender athlete took home first place in a varsity high jump competition at an Oregon high school meet Wednesday, roughly two years after finishing last while competing against junior varsity boys, according to a report. Lia Rose, who reportedly used to compete as Zachary, won the high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays with a height of 4 feet, 8 inches, beating the second-place finisher by two inches. According to athletic.net, while competing against JV boys May 3, 2023, Zachary Rose finished 11th out of 11 competitors with a jump of 4 feet, 6 inches. The winning height in that meet was another foot higher…Lia’s victory comes roughly two weeks after Ada Gallagher, a trans track athlete in the Portland area, blew out the competition. Gallagher, a state champion last year, finished at 57.62 in the 400 meters, with Franklin High School’s Kinnaly Souphanthong coming in second at 1:05.72. Gallagher’s teammate, Quinnan Schaefer, was behind Souphanthong at 1:07.13.
They had Bin Laden in 2006 and instead, we went to war with Afghanistan. I used to think Dubya was a good guy, but it looks like he is just one of the deep stater’s. It’s why you never hear him praise Trump, yet he is buddies with Clinton and Obama.
Al Qaeda boss and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden spent months living and receiving treatment in Iran, according to a bombshell interview on the Tucker Carlson Show this week.
Carlson sat down with former Pennsylvania congressman Curt Weldon (R.), who made the revelations, and also said that nosing around about the issue played a role in his being run out of Congress.
Weldon was defeated by Democrat Joe Sestak in the 2006 midterm elections. The race was overshadowed by an FBI raid of Weldon’s daughter’s home as part of a probe into whether the congressman improperly helped steer lobbying and public relations contracts her way. No charges were ever filed against him, and Weldon has long said the raid was politically motivated.
“I find out … within months after 9/11 that bin Laden has been sighted in a town called Ladiz,” the former congressman told Carlson. “It’s not in Afghanistan, it’s not in Pakistan. It’s in Iran, in an area called Balochistan.”
“Three months go by, I’m still supporting [President George W. Bush], my intel team comes back to me and says, ‘Curt, he’s being treated at a military hospital outside of Tehran,'” Weldon continued, referring to bin Laden. He added that he later met with an undercover agent for the CIA who told him bin Laden was in Iran.
Weldon, who noted his membership in the U.S. migratory bird commission, also cited a conversation he had with a Sikh falconry expert, who said bin Laden’s fowl trail ran through Persia. According to Weldon, the falconry pro told him: “My falconers are seeing bin Laden’s birds flying in Iran. You help me go to Iran. They’ll accept me there because they know me. I’ll tag his birds, and I’ll take the U.S. to exactly where he is.”
I know this could be made up, but the more I find out, the less I trust what the machine the Government has become. They had him as did Clinton and let him walk. It’s a printing press for money and power. There are good people but as a machine, they don’t care about those they govern anymore.
I’ll bet they knew he was living in Afghanistan a long time before they took him out. They could have taken the SOB out since before 9/11 and didn’t.
Read the post just below on the release of the Crossfire Hurricane documents and this will make even more sense.
The “Russian Reset”
After Russia’s two invasions of Ukraine, first in 2014 and again in 2022, senior Democratic leaders roundly called out Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin’s aggressive behavior, primarily targeted at the country’s smaller neighbor, Ukraine.
President Barack Obama, after taking office in early 2009, set in motion the merging of U.S. business interests with the Russian economy through the famous “reset” in relations between the two powers. Obama’s reset began in 2009 as an effort to cool tensions that had ballooned after Russia’s invasion of its small neighbor Georgia in 2008.
The reset set the stage for several prominent Democrats and their benefactors to profit from the burgeoning business opportunities in Russia being facilitated by the Obama administration.
Hillary Clinton, Skolkovo, and a half-million dollar speaking fee
In one case, the policy of Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to support and develop Russia’s “Silicon Valley,” known as Skolkovo, may have undermined U.S. national security while the family’s Clinton Foundation pocketed donations from Russian donors. After Russia’s first invasion of Ukraine, she would later make an about-face, instigating a narrative wherein Russia allegedly interfered and deprived her of victory in the 2016 election in which she was a candidate. She called her opponent, Donald Trump, a “Trojan Horse for Putin.”
After Clinton was appointed to represent the United States at the newly formed U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission, she helped direct investments from U.S. partners to the venture, which had already received $5 million in funding from Moscow, investigative reporter Peter Schweizer found in his 2015 book “Clinton Cash.”
The Skolkovo project received backing and support from Clinton Foundation donors, like Google, Intel and Cisco. Additionally, donations from Russian businessmen tied to the Skolkovo project flowed to the Clinton Foundation. Andrey Vavilov, Chairman of SuperOx, which is part of Skolkovo’s nuclear research group, donated between $10,000 and $25,000 to the foundation, Schweizer reported. The Skolkovo Foundation head and billionaire Viktor Vekselberg also donated to the charity through his company, Renova Group.
Clinton’s spouse, former president Bill Clinton, also reaped rewards from the Russian reset, collecting a $500,000 speaking fee from a Russian investment bank, Renaissance Capital. The speech came at the same time that Secretary Clinton was opposing sanctions measures on Russian officials that later became the Magnitsky Act, Fox News reported.
And the Sun will come up in the East tomorrow, Captain Obvious.
Democrats and their media allies have run a lot of unsubstantiated hoaxes throughout the past several years. And while each is damaging in its own way, one of the biggest and arguably most destructive conspiracies perpetuated by these actors and Americans’ own government was the unsubstantiated narrative that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
Despite a complete lack of “actual” corroborating evidence, leftists spent years fomenting delusions that the New York-born billionaire, while in cahoots with the Kremlin, had masterminded a scheme to undermine American “democracy” and deny Hillary Clinton the White House. Even worse was many of these conspiracies were aided by U.S. intel agencies like the FBI, which concocted a years-long investigation (“Crossfire Hurricane”) into Trump’s first presidency using baseless “evidence” bought and paid for by a Clinton campaign-hired law firm.
While Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 analysis of the FBI’s antics confirmed what The Federalist had reported for years — that there was no evidenciary basis for the agency’s anti-Trump probe — the damage the conspiracy had done to Americans’ trust in elections was already complete. And now, almost two years after Durham’s bombshell report, newly released documents further prove the baselessness of the scheme.
Obtained by The Federalist late last week, the nearly 700 pages of government records offer an introspective look into the FBI’s efforts to undermine Trump using its crooked Crossfire Hurricane operation.
In his book Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover’s Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath, the former president repeatedly complained about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “fright campaign” to get the United States into World War II. In his terrifying Navy Day address on October 27, 1941, Roosevelt claimed to have a “secret map” showing Nazi plans to invade South America, targeting Brazil and the Panama Canal. The key section of his Navy Day address began with Roosevelt saying, “I have in my possession a secret map made in Germany by Hitler’s Government—by planners of the new world order. It is a map of South America and a part of Central America, as Hitler proposes to reorganize it.”
Hoover was skeptical. He conducted his own personal investigation into FDR’s secret map. “Four years later, after the German surrender, I was in Germany,” he wrote. “The American Army authorities informed me they had been instructed to search for these plans,” former President Hoover added. The result of Hoover’s investigation was fruitless. “Our officials informed me there were no such plans in the captured German files.”
Hoover was not the only one to investigate the origins of Roosevelt’s secret map. According to Lynne Olson’s book Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh, and America’s Fight over World War II, 1939-1941, the German government engaged in a frantic search to find out if it had produced the map. The result of this search was also fruitless. Four days after Roosevelt’s speech, Germany’s Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop “flatly denied the existence of such a map” and he called it a forgery “of the crudest and most brazen kind.” So, who was telling the truth, Roosevelt or von Ribbentrop?
With a sense of genuine surprise, Olson wrote that “the Reich was telling the truth.” Olson said that “it was a forgery, the product of a clandestine BSC unit in downtown Toronto called Station M.” BSC, which stands for British Security Coordination, was a covert arm of MI6, Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service. Creating fake documents at its Toronto “phony-document factory” was only one part of BSC’s covert operations. According to Thomas E. Mahl’s book Desperate Deception: British Covert Operations in the United States, 1939-44, BSC infected the public opinion polling industry to rig polls and to influence the congressional decision-making process. Mahl wrote, “Unknown to the public, the polls of Gallup, Hadley Cantril, Market Analysts Inc. [run by Sanford Griffith], and Roper were all done under the influence of dedicated interventionists and British intelligence agents.”
Here we go again, exposing the truth about one of the biggest scams the government has come up with to launder money since war.
(1) We are in a climate crisis
We may as well begin with the most controversial environmentalist claim, that our planet is at imminent risk of catastrophic climate change. The problem with this claim is two-fold. First, there remains vigorous—if suppressed—debate over whether the data actually supports this claim. There is ample evidence that average global temperatures are not rapidly increasing, if they are even increasing at all. There is also strong evidence that extreme weather events are not increasing but rather that our ability to detect them has improved and that population increases have led more people to live in places that are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather. Second, even if there is some truth to the claims of climate catastrophists, it is not possible to precipitously transform our entire energy infrastructure. The technology isn’t ready, the funding isn’t available, and most nations will not participate. Adaptation is our only rational course of action.
(2) There are too many people
Based on extrapolations back in 1970, this may have appeared to be the case because populations worldwide at that time were rapidly growing. But today, in almost every nation, the inverse is now true: birthrates are well below replacement levels. Even in those nations that continue to experience rapid population growth, the rate of growth is following the same pattern of decline. The United Nations now estimates the total global population to top out at around 10 billion people, after which it is projected to decline. This means the rapid population growth we’ve seen over the past two centuries, where the global population octupled from 1 billion in 1804 to over 8 billion by 2024, is over. There is not one trend anywhere on earth that contradicts this pattern. Humanity faces a future of too few people, not too many.
(3) We are running out of “fossil” fuel
While this is technically correct, the situation is nowhere close to what was famously predicted in 1956 by American geologist M. Hubbert, who claimed oil production in the U.S. would peak by 1970 and then slide into permanent decline. In the U.S. and around the world, new technologies and new discoveries have put total reserves of oil, along with natural gas and coal, at record highs despite increasing demand. According to the authoritative Statistical Review on Global Energy, based on current consumption, proven reserves could supply oil for 61 years, natural gas for 50, and coal for 208. This grossly understates the big picture, however, because proven and recoverable reserves are being expanded all the time. “Unproven” reserves, waiting to be discovered, will easily double the amount of time left. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t continue to research new sources of energy. But we have a century or more to sort this out.
(4) Biofuel is renewable and sustainable
Nothing could be further from the truth. Biofuel will never supply more than a small fraction of our energy requirements, and attempts to scale it beyond a niche product have produced catastrophic results. Just to use California as an example, the current yield of ethanol from a corn crop stands at not quite 500 gallons per acre. Californians consumed 13.6 billion gallons of gasoline in 2023. Since ethanol has 33 percent less energy per gallon than conventional gasoline, that means replacing gasoline with carbon-neutral ethanol would require 20.3 billion gallons of ethanol production, which in turn would require 63,400 square miles of irrigated farmland and over 120 million acre-feet of water per crop. To put this in perspective, California’s entire expanse of irrigated farmland only totals around 14,000 square miles, and California’s entire agricultural sector only consumes around 30 million acre-feet of water per year. Worldwide, biofuel crops already consume an estimated 500,000 square miles while only offsetting 2 percent of the global consumption of transportation fuel.
(5) Offshore wind energy is renewable and sustainable
Absolutely not. Wind turbine blades, on land or offshore, routinely kill raptors, condors, and other magnificent endangered birds, along with bats and insects. Offshore, there are additional harmful impacts. Electromagnetic fields from undersea cables produce birth deformities in marine life and produce magnetic fields that disrupt the orientation abilities of some fish. Their low-frequency operational noise disrupts sounds made by fish for mating, spawning, and navigating. The turbines “increase sea surface temperatures and alter upper-ocean hydrodynamics in ways scientists do not yet understand” and “whip up sea sediment and generate highly turbid wakes that are 30-150 meters wide and several kilometers in length, having a major impact on primary production by phytoplankton, which are the base of marine food chains.” California’s official plan is to install 25,000 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity in floating wind farms 20 miles offshore. At 10 megawatts each, California’s treasured marine ecosystem will be disrupted by the presence of somewhere between 2,500 floating wind turbines, each one nearly 1,000 feet high. They will need 7,500 tethering cables descending 4,000 feet to the seafloor, along with 2,500 high-voltage cables. Expect ratepayers and taxpayers to subsidize a project that could cost $300 billion or more to build systems that may only have a lifespan of 10-20 years.
(6) Renewables are renewable
No. They’re not. Renewables most in favor with environmentalists are solar and wind farms with battery farms to store the intermittently generated electricity. Just the consumption of natural resources to build these renewables is hardly sustainable. For example, using data from the International Energy Agency, geopolitical writer Peter Ziehan calculated the mineral requirements for power generation, comparing renewables to natural gas in terms of kilograms of minerals per megawatt of capacity. Offshore wind: 16,000 kg/MW, onshore wind: 10,000 kg/MW, solar photovoltaic: 7,000 kg/MW, and natural gas: 2,000 kg/MW. Compounding this disparity is the fact that natural gas power plants can operate for 60 years or more, whereas solar installations are operable for 30 years at most, and wind turbines substantially less than that, depending on where they’re situated. As for EVs, Ziehan calculated kilograms of minerals per vehicle, with EVs requiring over 200 kg/vehicle, compared to conventional cars at only 35 kg/vehicle. It’s easy enough to see what this means. Replacing conventional energy with “renewables” has ignited an expansion of worldwide mining in nations with minimal environmental protections.
(7) Renewables can replace fossil fuels
Not anytime soon. Worldwide, in 2022, 82 percent of global energy was still derived from fossil fuels. For everyone on earth to consume half as much energy per capita as Americans, global energy production will have to double. Based on those two cold facts, fossil fuels are going to be around for a very long time. Even these statistics understate the challenge. In 2023, most of the non-fossil fuel energy produced was from either nuclear (4.0 percent) or hydroelectric (6.8 percent) sources, leaving only 7.5 percent from allegedly renewable sources. And of the remaining 7.5 percent “renewables,” two-thirds of it was biofuel production, which should not be considered renewable or, at the very least, must be considered already at maximum capacity. That leaves only about 2.5 percent of worldwide energy production coming from renewables, if you want to call them that, primarily wind, solar, and geothermal sources.
(8) New housing must be confined to the footprint of existing cities
This is not true for California, nor for the United States, and not even worldwide. Nonetheless, urban containment has been enforced in California ever since we stopped investing in expanding our energy, water, and transportation infrastructure, resulting in 94 percent of the population living on only 5 percent of the land. But urban containment isn’t necessary to ensure enough farm production. Even India, the most densely populated large nation on earth, where there are 2,700 people per square mile of farmland, is a net food exporter. In California, the alleged need for urban containment is truly ridiculous. Building new homes for ten million new California residents on quarter-acre lots, with four-person households, and allocating an equivalent amount for schools, parks, roads, and retail and commercial areas would only consume 1,953 square miles. This would only increase California’s urban footprint from 7,800 to 9,700 square miles, i.e., from 5.0 percent to 6.2 percent of all land in the state. The global trend is people voluntarily migrating to cities at the same time as the global population is expected to begin to decline within a few decades. There will be plenty of room for farms and wilderness even if cities are permitted to expand. Keeping cities bottled up is misanthropic and misguided, creating artificially high home prices and unwanted overcrowding.
(9) Mass transit is necessary to achieve sustainability
It’s hard to imagine a claim more at odds with reality. Mass transit works in extremely dense urban areas where most jobs are located in a central core. With rare exceptions, such as Manhattan, most metropolitan areas no longer have this hub-and-spoke model, which renders economically viable mass transit extremely difficult. Then there are the challenges introduced during the COVID pandemic, which drove millions of riders out of mass transit to either commute in private cars or work from home. Ridership never recovered. An additional barrier to the readoption of mass transit is the fact that most cities are unwilling to police and remove disruptive individuals from the buses and trains, rendering their systems too dangerous for potential passengers to consider. Finally, along with now-mature work-from-home technology that is only going to improve, we have innovations just around the corner that will enable smart cars to convoy at higher speeds, increasing the capacity of existing roads, as well as a revolution in passenger drones that will take additional pressure off roads. Why would someone ride mass transit when they can relax while their own smart vehicle drives them point-to-point with no interruptions? And why should taxpayers subsidize mass transit?
(10) Wilderness areas are sacred
This mantra has caused more harm than good to the wilderness. Litigation pursuant to the Endangered Species Act has severely restricted, if not put a complete stop to, logging on public land, although the current White House administration is trying to change that. Since then, over the past 40 years, because fires were suppressed and logging didn’t remove new growth, our forests have become overgrown, resulting in catastrophic fires. Similarly, ESA litigation and environmentalist-inspired regulations put a stop to dredging in California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which was the only way to maintain deep, cool channels favored by salmon ever since the construction of levees in the 1800s caused silt deposits to accumulate in what remained of their migration routes. It is important to protect truly endangered species, but environmentalists often create bigger problems. Poverty in Africa could be alleviated if environmental restrictions on energy development were lifted. But as it is, in desperate poverty, Africans are cutting down their forests for firewood, hunting wild game for food, and poaching dwindling herds of elephants, rhinos, lions, and other precious and endangered species for sale to international smugglers. How we manage our wilderness must be revisited with a reality-based emphasis on results, not ideology. Moreover, an encouraging fact is that while total forest cover in the world was in decline for many centuries, over the past 40 years, it has been increasing. This is the result of several factors: reforestation efforts, migration to urban areas, which depopulates forest regions; huge improvements in agricultural productivity, which takes farmland out of production, allowing for forests to reclaim the land; and maybe even slightly elevated atmospheric CO₂, which is plant food.
The ideals of environmentalism ought to inspire everyone, but the policies promulgated in the name of environmentalism are all too often actually hurting the environment. Examples are the mad rush to develop renewables and the power of the “climate crisis” narrative to deter rational cost/benefit analysis of environmentalist policies. The impact of misguided environmentalism is not merely the fate of wildlife and wilderness or the health of global ecosystems. It is also economic and, in practice, has led to profound transfers of wealth as entrenched special interests thrive on escalating regulations that only the biggest corporations and wealthiest individuals can navigate. Worldwide, entire industrial sectors are consolidated, costing nations the resilience and affordability that a diverse and competitive economy can deliver. Environmentalism, as it is practiced in the 21st century, is an arm of globalism, with shades of paternalism and colonialism that often overshadow its virtues.
Below, we show the top 10 most commonly reported fraud types to the FTC, the total dollar value lost from each type of fraud, and the median loss per incident.
Imposter scams—where fraudsters pose as government officials, friends, coworkers, or other trusted parties to steal money or personal information—were the most frequently reported type of fraud in the U.S. last year, with over 840,000 cases filed with the FTC.
This cost consumers almost $3 billion in losses last year.
However, while imposter scams were the most common, investment-related scams led to the biggest financial losses, costing Americans a total of $5.7 billion. The median loss per victim exceeded $9,000.
According to the FTC, scams through email made up the highest number of reports while scams through social media had the highest losses.
Text message scams are also common, making up 22% of all fraud reports to the FTC in 2022.

Many people were upset by Biden’s ( Or whoever used his autopen) pardons of Dr Faucistein and Liz Cheney, but if Republicans grow a spine then this could be a good thing. Since they have received a pardon, they can no longer hide behind the Fifth Amendment. In other words, they must answer all questions truthfully. If they don’t, they are guilty of perjury and that is not covered by their pardons.
Even if they tell the truth and cannot be tried for any crimes they committed the ensuing full knowledge of the scandals would be fierce and the lapdog media could not cover it up or spin it. Cheney could no longer behind the destruction of evidence committed by the crooked J6 committee. And furthermore, with the truth coming out it will be possible to imprison people not granted immunity. Before the granting of the pardons, it was nearly impossible to get at the truth.
Journalist Matt Taibbi said:
“The thing is, about these pardons, they’re a mistake. If you want to know what’s happening, they just made it a lot easier for us to find out.”
“Now, once the pardon’s delivered, the person can’t plead the Fifth. If they are brought before a grand jury, they can’t take the Fifth anymore, or if they’re brought before a congressional committee, they can’t evoke their right against self-incrimination, so they have to say something.”
“And this is what’s so interesting because I’ve been talking to criminal defense attorneys, people who are former Senate investigators, some current Senate investigators, and they all kind of said the same thing. It’s so illogical to give somebody a pardon if you’re trying to cover up things that the only reason you would really do it is if there are very serious crimes involved, right?”
I’d argue that the Covid jab is close, as was the Covid cover story, but nevertheless
I had to work in sustainability at IBM. I knew it was a load of shit from premise to people. It was a money laundering scheme from the getgo as well as a religion for those who don’t want to believe in God.
The Paris Climate Accord is not much of a deal anymore, in large part because it’s hard to fix the climate if nothing stops China. In other words, we finally came to terms with the reality that China and India are polluting the air a lot more than the Western countries who couldn’t wait to sign it.
The language has changed, too. You may remember when we called it global warming. Everything now is “climate change,” a convenient way of blaming everything on the climate.
Last, but not least, what killed the climate change cult is all of those predictions that turned out to be false. How many times can you get it wrong? I guess a million if you are making predictions about warming and cooling. Let’s remember some of the biggest hits:
1) In 1970, S. Dillon Ripley, a wildlife conservationist who served as secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, warned that 75 percent to 80 percent of species would be extinct by 1995. Wrong.
2) In 1970, Kenneth Watt, an ecologist and professor at the University of California, Davis, warned that “there won’t be any more crude oil,” that “none of our land will be usable” for agriculture, and the world would be 11 degrees colder by the year 2000. False.
3) In 1970, biologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University warned that by the end of the decade up to 200 million people would die each year from starvation due to overpopulation, life expectancy would plummet to 42 years, and all ocean life would perish. Extremely false.
4) In 1970, Peter Gunter, a professor at North Texas State University, predicted that “world population will outrun food supplies” and “the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine” by the year 2000. Didn’t happen.
5) In 1971, Dr. S. I. Rasool, an atmospheric scientist at NASA, predicted the coming of a “new ice age” within 50 years. Incorrect.
As I recall, the one about the coming ice age made the cover of Newsweek or Time. It had me wondering if they would have to cancel baseball or force every city to build a dome stadium.
Check out more hits:
6) In 1975, Ehrlich, the Stanford biologist, warned that 90 percent of tropical rainforests and 50 percent of species would disappear within 30 years. Erroneous.
7) In 1988, Hussein Shihab, environmental affairs director of the Maldives, warned that his island nation would be completely underwater within 30 years, which wouldn’t even matter because experts also predicted the Maldives would run out of drinking water by 1992. False.
8) In 2004, a Pentagon analysis warned of global anarchy due to climate change. Major European cities would be underwater by 2020, at which point Britain would suffer from a “Siberian” climate. Extremely false.
As it turned out, Britain never got a Siberian winter, but they do have a lot of immigrants who hate everything about the country. They didn’t run out of water in the Maldives, either, but a lot of people are going there for vacation. Maybe they drink bottled water in all of those fancy resorts.
And we round out the list with two more:
9) In 2008, Bob Woodruff of ABC News hosted a two-hour climate change special warning that New York City could be underwater by 2015, among other apocalyptic predictions. Didn’t happen.
10) In 2009, former vice president and climate activist Al Gore predicted the Arctic Ocean would have no ice by 2014, which is the same thing Greta Thunberg said would happen by 2022. Nope.
Well, New York City did not go underwater, but it’s a horrible place to live as more people bail out from high taxes. And V.P. Gore and Greta will likely not live to see the end of ice on the Arctic Ocean. We also have not yet lived to see a Gore presidency, which was the best part of the story.
So yes, there is something in the air, because climate talk is not what it used to be. I guess that’s what shutting down power plants and making bad predictions will do to a movement.
The May 26 print edition of The Times featured no mention of Memorial Day or the numerous U.S. service men and women who died in the armed forces at all on its front page. In fact, one of the top so-called stories it 
Renewables don’t risk blackouts, said the media. But they did and they do. The physics are simple. And now, as blackouts in Spain strand people in elevators, jam traffic, and ground flights, it’s clear that too little “inertia” due to excess solar resulted in system collapse.
2. Mass Unvetted Migration. We do not know the exact numbers, a reflection of how chaotic the inflow from an estimated one hundred countries was. Eight million migrants, according to CBP data and independent estimates, entered illegally during 2021–2024, unfettered, virtually welcomed, during the Biden administration. No country in modern history has allowed that level of mass migration.
