Run A Crappy Program Based On A Lie, Expect People To Steal

A group of seven who allegedly sought to steal hundreds of millions of dollars in the country’s “largest COVID-19 tax credit scheme” by falsely claiming pandemic-era benefits were charged on Jan. 22, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

An indictment unsealed in New York state charged the seven people with “operating a multi-state conspiracy in which they attempted to defraud the United States of more than $600 million by filing more than 8,000 false tax returns claiming COVID-19-related employment tax credits,” the agency said in a statement. The fraud targeted programs like the employee retention credit (ERC) and the paid sick and family leave credit (SFLC), which were passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ERC gave tax credits to businesses, incentivizing them to keep employees on their payroll, while SFLC was a reimbursement made to businesses to support employees who were “on sick or family leave and could not work because of COVID-19.”

The charges were made against Keith Williams, Jamari Lewis, Morais Dicks, Janine Davis, Tiffany Williams, James Hames Jr., and Ewendra Mathurin; all of whom are either current or former residents of New York.

Between November 2021 and June 2023, the defendants “repeatedly exploited” ERC and SFLC programs, the DOJ said.

“The scheme was allegedly headquartered at Credit Reset, a purported credit repair business Keith Williams owned and operated.”

Shutting Down USAID Cuts Democrats From Hiding Their Political Spending – Panic Sets In

Talked to a friend who has connections within the Democratic Party and he said the level of panic over Trump and Elon shutting down USAID is unlike anything he’s ever seen.

By following the money DOGE has struck a killing blow to the heart of the Democrat deep state machine.

Direct quote: “This is worse than 9/11 for Democrats. USAID is the primary vessel they use to achieve their political agenda. USAID is and always has been the primary source of funding for their influence peddling schemes and for their indirect sources of income”

Another text “Based on the reactions from within the party it seems to me that dismantling USAID is Trump’s biggest political victory to date, it was his enemy’s golden goose”

Same source who told me during the campaign (well before it was made public) that Kamala’s internal polling had her behind Trump so his information is good.

Another important addition. He said initial plans by the Democrats is to have their people at USAID hide the partisan funding under “unimpeachable initiatives”. “They will push back really hard on certain line items that on their face look like reasonable USAID expenditures and hide their political spending under these programs”

story

They are panicking because they are getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar and nefarious projects, DEI, ritzy dinners, junkets and the other waste they bathe in.

This isn’t just an exercise in finding out where the USAID money is going today – it was also an audit to find out where the money has gone in the past and it found waste and corruption everywhere. Reportedly USAID represents just 0.07% of federal spending. If this was a mafia investigation what’s being reported would be called “skimming” and calls would be being made for RICO charges. What’s different here?

It’s also being speculated that DOGE is going after USAID spending both because it was low-hanging fruit of corruption and because it’s relative small size.

Going after the youth of the DOGE employees is a complete smokescreen to trying to protect their money stream. The average age of the Manhattan Project was 25, the average age of NASA’s mission control during the Apollo launches was 27, and don’t get me started on how young our founding fathers were (outside of Benjamin Franklin). All the DOGE team is doing is finding out where the money is going – not building the world first atomic bomb, putting man on the moon, or founding our nation.  Also remember that Linus Torvolds wrote Linux at just 21, Palmer Luckey created Oculus at 20, Vitalik Buterin did Etherium at 19, and Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook at 19.

Google Kills DEI and Woke

I guess sales were down and there wasn’t an option left.

Google is joining Meta, Amazon, and other big tech companies in winding down its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

In a Wednesday memo to employees that I obtained (and you can read below), Google’s head of HR, Fiona Cicconi, said there will no longer be DEI hiring targets due to the company’s status as a federal contractor and recent “court decisions and US Executive Orders on this topic.” As the Wall Street Journal notes, Google also removed a line included in previous annual SEC reports saying that it’s “committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do.”

FAFO – The ‘ultimate selfie’ has claimed up to 480 lives – yet the craze shows no signs of ending

To the list of the world’s most dangerous activities, it seems we must add a very 21st–century pursuit: selfie-taking.

The number of people who have lost their lives while trying to get that perfect shot has spiked sharply in recent years. For a time, Wikipedia kept a running total, estimating 379 people have died in selfie-related accidents between 2008 and 2021, with hundreds more sustaining serious injuries.

Since then, other sources suggest the toll had risen to as many as 480 fatalities by the end of 2024. By way of comparison, far more people die from taking selfies than from shark attacks, which on average account for 5-6 deaths per year globally.

CBS To Turn Over 60 Minutes Transcript of Edited Kamala Word Salad Interview

I heard part of it. I didn’t know WTF she was trying to say when answering the questions. No wonder she lost.

CBS says it will turn over an unedited transcript of its October interview with Kamala Harris to the Federal Communications Commission, part of President Donald Trump’s ongoing fight with the network over how it handled a story about his opponent.

Trump sued CBS for $10 million over the “60 Minutes” interview, claiming it was deceptively edited to make Harris look good. Published reports said that CBS’ parent company, Paramount, has been talking to Trump’s lawyers about a settlement.

The network said Friday that it was compelled by Brendan Carr, Trump’s appointee as FCC chairman, to turn over the transcripts and camera feeds of the interview for a parallel investigation by the commission. “60 Minutes” has resisted releasing transcripts for this and all of its interviews, to avoid second-guessing of its editing process.

The case, particularly a potential settlement, is being closely watched by advocates for press freedom and by journalists within CBS, whose lawyers called Trump’s lawsuit “completely without merit” and promised to vigorously fight it after it was filed.

The Harris interview initially drew attention because CBS News showed Harris giving completely different responses to a question posed by correspondent Bill Whitaker in clips that were aired on “Face the Nation” on Oct. 6 and the next night on “60 Minutes.” The network said each clip came from a lengthy response by Harris to Whitaker’s question, but they were edited to fit time constraints on both broadcasts.

I call BS. It wasn’t for time constraints other than she babbled on without saying anything. How can you talk that much and not get anything useful said?

As If There Wasn’t Enough Evidence The FBI Was Behind January 6th

Nine FBI agents sued the DOJ to protect the identities of agents who worked the January 6 and Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigations.

The agents filed the class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The claims for relief:

  • Violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution— Retaliation Based on Perceived Political Affiliation
  • Violation of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution – Violation of Plaintiffs’ Substantive and Procedural Due Process Rights
  • Violation of the Plaintiffs’ Fifth Amendment Right to Privacy
  • Violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. §552a (b)

I cannot take the agents seriously because they claimed the rioters at the Capitol did so “at the behest of Donald Trump.”

Now they fear President Donald Trump’s DOJ will target them:

Another Obama-Biden Chinese Spy: Federal Reserve Advisor Alleged to Be Literally Selling Out America

How are these guys not tried for being traitors?

The threat of the Chinese Communist Party is ever-present in the ranks of government.

The Washington Post reported Friday that John Harold Rogers — a former senior advisor to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors working in the International Finance Division — was arrested that day for allegedly leaking sensitive information to the Chinese government while taking massive payments and embarking on fully paid trips to the country.

Rogers worked for the Fed from 2010 to 2021, beginning his tenure at the central bank under former President Barack Obama’s administration.

After his departure, Rogers moved to Shanghai, China, and began working as a professor at Fudan University. He was arrested in his hometown of Vienna, Virginia.

Prosecutors allege Rogers had access to briefs and spreadsheets that could “allow China to manipulate the U.S. market, in a manner similar to insider trading.”

Every single dollar spent by Democrats on a non-problem such as DIE, climate change, or LGBTQ is a dollar of corruption.

Why are Democrat politicians much more prone than Republicans to policies that undermine the strength and integrity of the Republic, damage the safety and prosperity of American citizens, destroy essential infrastructure, and bring crime and suffering to the people they are supposed to serve?

Decades of progressive moral, ideological, and psychological corruption have destroyed the Democrat party and delivered its leaders to mental and emotional regression in which their public behaviors and statements resemble the pre-rationality, helplessness, narcissism, and prevarication typical of small children.  Developmental psychology labels the cognitive processes of two- to seven-year-old children “preoperational.”  Leading Democrats have regressed to preoperational infantilism and now resemble three-year-olds.

Across at least the last 70 years, the ideals and principles of Democrats have been burned away through three self-reinforcing forms of corruption.  The first corruption is ancient and universal.  It is corruption of greed and power-seeking.  Greed and power-seeking energize all political corruption, but they have especially infected Democrats because their hold on God-given moral conviction and the rule of law has weakened more than Republicans’.  The second corruption is the modern, ideological fraud of creeds of disloyalty that blame America first and justify elected officials undermining and trading away the safety and well-being of the citizens who elected them.  This is the corruption of the big lie.

The Democrat fabrication that there was an armed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on 01/06/21 is the most grievous political lie in U.S. history.  End-stage corruption is postmodern, anti-rational subjectivism.  It is indoctrination into cults of resentment and fear, with vague, propagandistic labels like climate change, LGBTQ, diversity, eco-justice.  Decades of “blame America first” ideology and cults of fear and resentment created a vast playground for financial exploitation of public funds.  Every single dollar spent on a non-problem such as DIE, climate change, or LGBTQ is a dollar of corruption.

Tucker Carlson Uncovered Devastating FAA Emails in 2018, Proved Obama Team Knew They Were Playing with Fire

In June 2018, then-Fox News host Carlson covered the topic, saying, “The Obama administration pressured the FAA to meet abstract diversity goals. Now nobody bothered to explain why diversity is a relevant criterion for air traffic controllers. No one will explain it now.”

Carlson explained that the FAA added a biographical questionnaire to the air traffic controller application process, which he said gave more points to would-be controllers who lacked a scientific background or who had been unemployed for the previous three years than they did to licensed pilots.

“In other words, the FAA actively searched for unqualified air traffic controllers. That is insane, and they knew it was insane when they did it, but they did it anyway,” he said.

In an email Carlson said he obtained, the executive who created the biographical questionnaire “admits that the test he devised has nothing to do with finding the best air traffic controllers. If you want good air traffic controllers, find people with experience. That was his advice. The FAA ignored this, and used the biographical screen anyway. … Compared to diversity, your safety meant nothing to them.”

Trump Administration On Black History Month

Throughout our history, black Americans have been among our country’s most consequential leaders, shaping the cultural and political destiny of our Nation in profound ways.  American heroes such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Thomas Sowell, Justice Clarence Thomas, and countless others represent what is best in America and her citizens.  Their achievements, which have monumentally advanced the tradition of equality under the law in our great country, continue to serve as an inspiration for all Americans.  We will also never forget the achievements of American greats like Tiger Woods, who have pushed the boundaries of excellence in their respective fields, paving the way for others to follow. 

This National Black History Month, as America prepares to enter a historic Golden Age, I want to extend my tremendous gratitude to black Americans for all they have done to bring us to this moment, and for the many future contributions they will make as we advance into a future of limitless possibility under my Administration.

It’s a sea change from the days of Joe Biden, who during his presidency honored the likes of Kamala Harris and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in his proclamations.  

When White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped up the podium in the press room for her first official briefing this past Tuesday, she surely expected to be bombarded with questions about things like the flurry of Executive Orders coming out of the Oval Office and tariffs possibly being levied on China. She likely also expected some inane or out-of-left-field questioning due to the fact that she had welcomed the corporate media to remain part of the White House press corps; she was much more gracious than her predecessor in that respect.

Right on cue, April Ryan, CNN contributor and White House correspondent for TheGrio, wanted to know the Trump White House’s plans for Black History Month, which has traditionally been celebrated in February after it was first recognized by President Gerald Ford—Republican—back in 1976. Ryan was obviously concerned about the administration’s efforts to scrub all traces of discriminatory DEI practices from the federal government.

“As we’re dealing with anti-DEI and anti-woke efforts, we understand this administration … is thinking about celebrating Black History Month. Have you got any word on that, anything that you can offer to us?” Ryan asked.

Leavitt was prepared:

“As far as I know, this White House certainly still intends to celebrate — and we will continue to celebrate American history and the contributions that all Americans, regardless of race, religion or creed, have made to our great country,” Leavitt said. “And America is back.”

America is indeed back, and President Trump did indeed issue a Black History Month proclamation with a not-so-subtle sign that all black American patriots—not just the ones favored by the left—should be and would be honored.

So no thugs, victims, America haters or reparationists, but people who should be celebrated for making life better for others.

DEI Racism At United Air Lines

Last year, I reported on a tip from a United pilot that a near-fatal incident in Houston was the result of a fired employee being rehired through their DEI program



I was told I was a lying racist.

The Houston 767 incident report is out. I was 100% right:

“The first officer’s training records showed inconsistencies in airplane handling as recent as a few months before the accident. He received an unsatisfactory performance rating and, upon re-evaluation, a satisfactory rating with a condition to recheck after 90 days (instead of 9 months). This was due to, among other things, marginal performance with landings.”

Full report here:

it’s not just in the ATC towers, it permeates the air travel industry. I want meritocracy to get on a plane. Give me the best and most qualified. Fuck their color or anything else. Be qualified

When Life Was Better

Sure the internet is helpful, but it makes you work longer and you can’t escape life always being connected. You used to leave work at work when you went home.

Music wasn’t computerized and today’s kids still listen to Led Zeppelin, Queen, and other bands from that era.

Our cars were faster without computer chips, sounded cooler, and sell for unbelievable amounts at auctions now because they were that special.

The girls were girls and not people wondering what gender they should be or how they should hate men today. They were way better looking and at least tried to be modest.

We were the last to play outside without pervs trying to steal and rape us.

We had no idea that those really were the good old days.

Now, things are faster and everything is at your fingertips, but we can read cursive, maps and can get places without someone telling us to turn right.

FAA’s Obama-Era “Biographical Questionnaire” for DIE Faces New Scrutiny After the D.C. Crash

As The Daily Signal previously reported, under President Barack Obama’s administration, the FAA scrapped a skills-based test and a certification program, and replaced it with a biographical questionnaire to attract more diverse applicants to become air traffic controllers. The FAA previously drew most candidates from the military and a group of 36 colleges that offer air traffic control programs.

“The Obama administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence,” the Trump memorandum says. “But the Biden administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with ‘severe intellectual’ disabilities in the FAA.”

The memorandum continues: “On my second day in office, I ordered an immediate return to merit-based recruitment, hiring, and promotion, elevating safety and ability as the paramount standard. [Wednesday’s] devastating accident tragically underscores the need to elevate safety and competence as the priority of the FAA.”

Critics have said the policy that originated under Obama and was revived by former President Joe Biden gives more points to applicants who have not been employed for the past three years than to an applicant who has been a pilot or a veteran with an air traffic control-related military background. During his first term, Trump discarded the policy in 2018, but Biden reinstated it.

“When you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones—which everyone of us in this room has—do you pray that your plane lands safely and gets you to your destination?” Leavitt asked reporters rhetorically on Friday. “Or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer to that question. As President Trump said yesterday, it’s common sense.”

The spokeswoman said the Trump administration still believes it is safe to fly in the United States. Still, she said, the memorandum is intended to “deliver accountability.”

‘There Were 503 Lapses’: Kris Kobach Breaks Down Consequences of Hiring DEI in Aviation

“In 2023, based on internal statistics at [the Federal Aviation Administration], there were 503 lapses of in-air traffic controller decisions, which was up to 65% over the previous year,” Kobach said. “And The New York Times reported also in 2023 that there were 300 near collisions in the preceding 12 months, which was double what it had been a decade earlier. So, these decisions about whom you hire have consequences.”

The attorney general then praised President Donald Trump’s immediate action against DEI initiatives.

“I think President Trump got it right when he immediately ended the DEI hiring in the FAA and in the air traffic controller world. But we want the best people. Whether it’s my pilot, my air traffic controller, or my surgeon, I don’t care what skin color they have,” Kobach said. “All I want is the most competent, skilled person because their decision could end my life in a second. I think most Americans would agree with that.”

In 2024 alone, FAA data reported that the Reagan Washington National Airport experienced at least eight near-midair collisions, according to The New York Times. The FAA has consistently said that due to a lack of air traffic controllers on the Eastern Seaboard, it has had to limit the number of flights allowed through the region.

The plane involved in the collision carried 60 passengers and four crew members. Three soldiers were on the helicopter, and it was reported that no one survived the incident. Newly confirmed U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that both aircraft were following their designated flight paths during the incident.

The Chinese Sputnik

This week, China shocked the West with its announcement of DeepSeek, an artificial intelligence network capable of competing with OpenAI, Meta, and Google.

The fact that China was able to develop DeepSeek without a heavy supply of sophisticated microchips from Nvidia sent Nvidia stock spiraling, along with the other major tech companies in the United States: China seems to have cracked the code to bring down the cost of AI development radically, in the process ending-around sanctions against its access to those microchips.

In the words of former Intel Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger, “Engineering is about constraints. The Chinese engineers had limited resources, and they had to find creative solutions.”

Now, it remains to be seen just how revolutionary DeepSeek’s development was. China has a bad habit of both stealing intellectual property and lying about its own technological development. Suffice it to say, however, that China has demonstrated once again that America exists in a competitive world—a world of enemies determined to outcompete the United States.

Target Rebrands DEI, Just As Woke, Takes It Underground

Like most corporate jargon that comes from unimpressive and overpaid executives whose shining accomplishment has been irreparably harming the brand they were entrusted with, this is a non-statement. If you’ve worked a corporate gig, you’ve encountered these people, they talk the most but say the least.

It gets better. CNBC reported that “a Target spokesperson said there are no job cuts as part of Friday’s DEI announcement.” Impressive. Target is so serious about getting rid of DEI that it decided to retain every single one of its DEI hires at every level of the organization, including executives and middle management who imposed this ideology on the entire company.

In other words, Target is not abandoning DEI. It’s being taken underground. It might not sell another wheelchair-bound black Santa this year, but that’s because Target is doing just enough to pull the wool over your eyes.

Anyone involved in their local school board is familiar with this tactic. The first thing schools did after parents complained about Critical Race Theory (CRT) was rebrand it. That’s what Target is doing here, which is arguably worse than what it was doing before. Target hasn’t made any meaningful admission of wrongdoing, and because these corporations think you’re stupid, Target is hoping to assuage the public by pretending to suddenly reject the religion of leftism that consumed it for years all just hours after an administration hostile to DEI took over in Washington. It’s a miracle with impeccable timing, I suppose.   

On Jan. 24, Target issued a press release that supposedly indicates a departure from DEI. Kiera Fernandez, formerly known as Target’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, now goes by a new title: Chief Community Impact and Equity Officer. What a clever rebrand. Considering the goal was to pretend that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are no longer a priority at Target, I would have thought that her new title should avoid the words Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion.

Fernandez issued a memo to Target staff that included this gem:   

“Many years of data, insights, listening and learning have been shaping this next chapter in our strategy, and as a retailer that serves millions of consumers every day, we understand the importance of staying in step with the evolving external landscape, now and in the future – all in service of driving Target’s growth and winning together.”

The buzz around “Captain America: Brave New World” had been toxic … until recently.

The sequel finds Anthony Mackie taking over for Chris Evans as the star-spangled Avenger. The film endured high-profile “reshoots” as well as leaked reports of devastating test screenings.

Both gave the impression this “Brave New World” would be a “Marvels”-level dud.

In recent weeks, though, the buzz has died down.

The film’s recent trailer didn’t suffer blowback from Comic Con Nation. The Red Hulk subplot has comic readers intrigued, especially since screen legend Harrison Ford will be bringing him to life.

In fact. some media outlets report the film could earn north of $90 million in its opening weekend. That’s not “Avengers”-sized money but enough to suggest the franchise won’t crash and burn.

Mackie’s new viral gaffe just made everything worse. How much worse? We’ll find out on Feb. 14 when “Brave New World” hits theaters nationwide.

Suffice it to say Disney star Rachel Zegler would be impressed by this PR disaster.

Mackie, a credible star in his own right, had large shoes to fill as is. Evans’ Captain America became a beloved MCU figure, capturing the character’s stoic leadership.

Some fans don’t trust the character swap, thinking it’s Hollywood’s latest woke switcheroo. The shift has precedent in the Marvel Comics’ canon, though, and Evan’s Cap bowed out gracefully in “Avengers: Endgame.”

And then Mackie said this about the film and his iconic character.

“Captain America represents a lot of different things & I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations. It’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity and integrity.”

The undated clip reminds us of how Warner Bros. treated the Superman reboot. The character’s classic line – “fighting for Truth, Justice and the American Way” got clipped to appease woke sensibilities.

That “update” got shredded on social media and captured the disgust many fans have with the “new” take on classic heroes.

America in 2025 is pushing past those woke sentiments, typified by the re-election of President Donald Trump.

Now this.

X (AKA Twitter) went berserk with the Mackie clip. Here’s just a sample of the snarkier responses.

What A Leader Does – Trump to offer two million federal workers buyouts in accelerated government purge

Back when IBM was run by Lou Gerstner, I said I’d vote for him as president because he knew how to run things, hire and fire people, make decisions and not bend to be popular.

He put in the FAP (I know, funny right?) or Financial Assistance Program to offer buyouts to the deadweight at IBM so that it could be lean and mean, and survive.

Now this.

Up to two million federal workers will be offered buyouts if they don’t want to return to the office as part of Donald Trump’s government purge.

The Trump administration started sending emails to thousands of federal workers Tuesday evening offering them a chance to voluntarily vacate their government posts while remaining on the payroll for months.

The email was linked to President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding federal employees return to the office. 

An email landed in federal workers’ inboxes offering them a package and the ability to voluntarily separate from the federal government before the new Department of Government Efficiency starts identifying areas that could afford to be cut.

‘At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency, but should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions,’ reads the email, titled ‘Fork in the Road.’ 

To take the deal, employees were told to type the word ‘resign’ into the subject line of their response. 

The ‘majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force,’ according to the email.

A spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management said the employees who accept the terms were being offered the chance to go on administrative leave through Sept. 30 at full pay.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Already Saving $1 Billion a Day

President Donald Trump’s new government watchdog agency that’s headed up by Elon Musk, the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), announced it has already reduced federal spending by approximately $1 billion per day.

“DOGE is saving the Federal Government approx. $1 billion/day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the President’s Executive Orders. A good start, though this number needs to increase to > $3 billion/day,” the Department said in a social media post Tuesday.

On the surface, we see radical environmental activists interrupting corporate shareholder meetings, blocking traffic, and vandalizing artwork. But behind these increasingly aggressive protests lies a more insidious threat: the Chinese Communist Party, which quietly bankrolls these same activists through a complex web of foundations and activist networks. Through dark money, China exploits environmental activism to undermine America’s energy sector. This dangerous partnership between foreign adversaries and domestic extremists demands immediate Congressional action – including comprehensive investigations into Chinese funding of domestic American nonprofits and new laws protecting American energy infrastructure. The security of America’s energy future hangs in the balance, and we can no longer afford to ignore this coordinated assault on our nation’s vital interests.

The evidence of Beijing’s strategic manipulation of American environmental groups has been mounting for years, but recent investigations have exposed the actual depth of these connections. Through a sophisticated network of foundations, consulting firms, and environmental organizations, the Chinese Communist Party has established multiple channels to funnel money and influence into groups working to obstruct American energy development. Beijing’s influence becomes clear when following the money. For example, Climate Defiance is one of the most aggressive new environmental groups making headlines nationwide. More than half of their 2023 funding flowed through the Oil and Gas Action Network – an organization supported by the Energy Foundation, whose Chinese office maintains deep ties to the Chinese Communist nation and Chinese nationals with direct links to the regime. Similarly, investigations reveal several other prominent environmental groups receive substantial funding through organizations with documented connections to Beijing, including research institutes that coordinate with Chinese state entities and foundations that partner with CCP-controlled ecological agencies.

China’s financial support of American environmental groups raises a crucial question that cuts to the heart of Beijing’s strategy: Why would the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter and most prominent financier of fossil fuel projects globally invest in funding American environmental protesters? The answer reveals a calculated effort to weaken American energy independence: these radical groups are unknowingly doing China’s dirty work by targeting and disrupting America’s vital energy infrastructure projects.

The numbers tell the story of China’s true environmental priorities. China’s greenhouse gas emissions are double those of the United States, while Chinese institutions lead the world in financing new fossil fuel developments. These facts expose an obvious truth—China’s interest isn’t in saving the environment but in sabotaging America’s energy independence and economic competitiveness.

The tactical playbook of these Chinese-backed environmental groups has become increasingly aggressive and disruptive. Environmental activists have shut down a New York Times climate conference, declaring that “climate criminals should not be allowed in polite society.” They’ve disrupted major sporting events, vandalized priceless artworks, blocked highways during rush hour, and damaged construction equipment to cause massive delays at pipeline sites.

These aren’t random acts of civil disobedience – they’re part of a coordinated strategy to weaken American energy infrastructure and drive-up consumer costs. The groups behind these actions openly admit their radical aims. The Climate Emergency Fund’s executive director recently told The New Republic that movements “need to have a radical flank that is disrupting normalcy.”

Thought For The Day

It’s why I rarely care what people think of me, even while I’m alive. If someone doesn’t like me, it’s one less hassle for me to deal with and more free time to enjoy what little time I have left.

I’m married to a person who goes through life like a Facebook page trying to collect likes. It’s annoying to watch.

Report: Khamenei halts nuclear weapons program in olive branch to Trump

They’d never worry about doing this with Biden. He did whatever he was told to do, not Trump

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly has prohibited the development of nuclear weapons, in a move that some are perceiving as an attempt to initiate talks with the Trump administration about easing sanctions.

The head of Iran’s “Armed Forces Judiciary” made the announcement on Jan. 21, according to Iran International. That was just one day after Trump’s inauguration, but the possible olive branch does not necessarily mean nuclear activity will stop.

Newsweek reached out to the Iranian mission to the United Nations and the Trump transition team for comment via email outside of normal business hours.

Iran’s halting of its development of nuclear weapons indicates its economic issues as a result of Western sanctions have become a priority, and the regime may be willing to negotiate with the U.S. and other nations to help it recover financially.

AI On Weird Phobia’s People Have

I had to ask

  1. Arachibutyrophobia: The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.
  2. Nomophobia: The fear of being without your mobile device.
  3. Xanthophobia: The fear of the color yellow.
  4. Turophobia: The fear of cheese.
  5. Somniphobia: The fear of falling asleep.
  6. Coulrophobia: The fear of clowns.
  7. Pogonophobia: The fear of beards.
  8. Triskaidekaphobia: The fear of the number 13.
  9. Ablutophobia: The fear of bathing, washing, or cleaning.
  10. Geniophobia: The fear of chins.

I thought number 8 was about Friday the 13th.

The fear of Friday the 13th is known as friggatriskaidekaphobia. It combines the word ‘Frigga’, which is the name of the Norse goddess after whom Friday is named, and ‘triskaidekaphobia’, which is the fear of the number 13.

I added these:

The fear of having houseguests is called “domatophobia”. It is derived from the Latin word “domus” which means house and “phobos” which means fear. This phobia can cause intense anxiety and discomfort for individuals when they have to host guests in their home.

The fear of small talk is known as “homilophobia”. It comes from the Greek word “homilia” which means conversation and “phobos” which means fear. This phobia can cause individuals to feel extremely anxious and uncomfortable when they have to engage in casual, superficial conversation.

Vaccination’Kill Shot’: Dr. Mark Trozzi Exposes mRNA Vaccines as a Genetically Engineered Bioweapon and Reveals Groundbreaking Recovery Solutions

“The spike protein encoded by mRNA vaccines is a genetically engineered bioweapon, designed to infiltrate and damage critical organs across the body.” – Dr. Mark Trozzi

Dr. Mark Trozzi recently delivered a compelling and meticulously detailed presentation on the significant health risks posed by mRNA vaccines, along with practical solutions for those affected by potential adverse effects.

With decades of experience in emergency medicine and a deep commitment to vaccine safety research, Dr. Trozzi offered a thorough, evidence-based analysis of the mechanisms underlying vaccine-related injuries. His presentation also provided actionable strategies to support recovery and improve health outcomes.

Structured into four key sections, this comprehensive discussion explored the dangers of the spike protein, the hidden risks of nanoparticles, the impact of immune system dysfunction, and science-backed approaches to treatment and recovery.

Part I: The Spike Protein and Its Implications

Dr. Trozzi began by dissecting the central role of the spike protein in both SARS-CoV-2 and mRNA vaccines. He described how these vaccines use lipid nanoparticles to deliver modified mRNA into human cells, instructing the body to produce spike proteins. This process, while intended to stimulate immunity, has led to widespread and unintended consequences.

  • Weaponization of the Spike Protein: Dr. Trozzi revealed that the spike protein encoded in the vaccines has been genetically engineered to include harmful modifications, such as a furin cleavage site, which increases toxicity, and the removal of hemagglutinin esterase, which naturally counteracts clot formation. These modifications make the spike protein more dangerous than its natural counterpart.
  • Translation Errors and Contaminants: The modified mRNA in these vaccines is prone to translation errors, leading to the production of random protein fragments that can trigger autoimmune diseases. Additionally, independent research has uncovered contaminants, including plasmid DNA fragments and SV40 promoter sequences, which are known to facilitate the integration of foreign genetic material into human cells. These contaminants raise serious concerns about manufacturing quality and long-term safety.
  • Systemic Damage: Unlike traditional vaccines, which target specific areas of the body, the lipid nanoparticles in mRNA vaccines allow spike proteins to spread to critical organs, including the brain, heart, ovaries, and testes. This widespread distribution amplifies the potential for harm, contributing to conditions such as myocarditis, reproductive health issues, and neurological disorders.

What books do you want to read?

I’ve started liking History, so historical fiction not textbooks. I’m starting a series by C.J. Box about the outdoors. If it’s good, I’ll have a whole series to read.

I’m also reading Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance

I’m finishing the last book of the Expanse so Sci-Fi has been good to me for a few months now.

The point is I always want to read. I’ve read since I was a young child. I was the only one of my siblings who did. I can escape into my own world this way and people don’t bother you when you are reading.

Yeah, Well You’re The One Who Stuck Your Dick Into His Underage Clients

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has declared that his friendship with the late Democrat financier Jeffrey Epstein was a “huge mistake.”

During a new interview with the Wal Street Journal, Gates admitted that he “was foolish to spend any time” with the child sex trafficker and convicted pedophile.

Gates responded to questions about his secretive relationship with Epstein ahead of his new book release.

However, he only echoed remarks he had made in years past.

The 69-year-old billionaire authored “Source Code: My Beginnings.”

Gates’s book is set for release on February 4.

“In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him,” Gates said of Epstein.

“I think I was quite stupid.

Why Girls Feel Priviledged – Guest Post

Although this person is famous, he wrote this a while back and remains anonymous.


“Beautiful girls in big cities are now directly and indirectly offered sex more than 1,000 times a month from men on the internet, in bars, on the streets, and within their social circles. If a girl has a basic internet profile, spends time on social networking, and goes out twice a week, I guarantee that she is offered more cock than even the most famous women of the past. A girl is not interested in 99% of the men who offer her sex, but try to imagine the effect on your psychology if 1,000 women a month were trying to have sex with you. What kind of person would that make you? I can tell you what I would be like if I were getting over 1,000 sex offers every month: I’d be spoiled rotten, thinking that I deserved all those women just because I existed. I’d be flaky, canceling dates often, because I’d constantly be unsure whether I was getting the “best” possible girl. I’d be bitchy to women who didn’t read my mind and failed to treat me exactly the way I wanted, because don’t they know that I could sleep with hundreds of other women any time I wanted?

I’d be moody, always dependent on the reactions I get from women. If I received less attention one weekend than usual, I’d throw a temper tantrum and demand immediate satisfaction. I’d also get bored easily. With so many women constantly trying to entertain me, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate five minutes with a boring girl who didn’t jump through hoops to make me laugh. Lastly, I’d be primed to value novelty more than stability. I’d become addicted to experiencing one new girl after the next, and believe excitement and fun were worth more than stability and commitment.

My attention span would morph into that of a small child. Haven’t I just described the modern woman? While a large part of who we are is shaped by our genetics, environment plays a huge role, and when your environment is getting nonstop attention from thousands of people trying to have sex with you, your personality and even your humanity will become degraded, making it hard for you to connect meaningfully with anyone.”

No wonder they act like children.

Followed by this

I just read this in Ecclesiastes 7:

25 I [q]directed my [r]mind to know, to investigate and to seek wisdom and an explanation, and to know the evil of folly and the foolishness of madness. 26 And I discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

27 “Behold, I have discovered this,” says the Preacher, “adding one thing to another to find an explanation, 28 which [s]I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all these.

Then this

“I can change him”

Women can’t change men, and men can’t change women. Full stop. The only time that works is in romance novels and movies and they’re fiction for a reason. People only truly change for themselves. If they love you enough, they can alter some of their behaviors to be more in line with what you want (or don’t want) but you cannot force them to do anything. Attempting to do so will breed resentment and thoughts of “well she doesn’t love me for myself, so I need to find a woman who does.” Be worthy of change, but don’t try to force it because it won’t end well for either party.

“If he can’t handle me at my worst, he doesn’t deserve me at my best”

All too often, women use this as an excuse to act like borderline psychopaths and blame their significant others’ reactions on them. You can’t expect a man to stick around if you are a hot mess and constantly question their worthiness to be your partner based on how they respond to your behavior. If your “worst” could get you committed to a mental institution, that has nothing to do with your boyfriend and everything to do with you. Don’t use vapid quotes from the internet as an excuse to act like a nutball.

If I got offered that much trim, I know I’d look at girls a whole lot differently.

Will Any Federal Officials Pay For What They Did?

The biggest scientific con of the century is finally being exposed. But will any politicians or government officials ever be held responsible for the carnage they unleashed on Americans?

In early 2020, when the Covid pandemic was starting to ravage America, federal bureaucrats and politicians rushed to suppress any suggestion that the pandemic originated from a Chinese government lab bankrolled by US government agencies. Key Biden administration officials effectively exonerated the Chinese government even though the Chinese completely stonewalled any outside investigation into the origin of the Covid virus, as the Wall Street Journal recently revealed in a front-page scoop. 

The FBI’s top expert concluded that the virus leaked from the lab but he was derailed by the Biden administration, blocked from presenting his evidence at a key White House meeting in August 2021. Three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, part of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, concluded that Covid leaked from a lab but they were muzzled. The Inspector General is conducting an investigation to determine why those experts were silenced. The Department of Energy also concluded that Covid originated in a lab. In September 2023, a senior CIA analyst told a Congressional committee that six key CIA analysts had been bribed by the agency to abandon their conclusion that Covid originated in a lab leak.

The Chinese government first admitted that a pandemic had broken out in the city of Wuhan in early 2020. Though the Chinese military-affiliated Wuhan Institute of Virology had been experimenting with bats for years, the Chinese government insisted the new virus came from a nearby marketplace. But the lead scientists involved with bat research had all been struck down by Covid-19 symptoms shortly before the Chinese government denied any responsibility. There was a deluge of circumstantial evidence quickly linking the new virus to the lab. 

The outbreak of Covid-19 spurred one of the most brazen cover-ups in modern US history. The National Institute for Health had been financing gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That type of research seeks to genetically alter organisms to enable the spread of viruses into new species. Such research is extremely dangerous; as MIT professor Kevin Esvelt asked in 2021, “Why is anyone trying to teach the world how to make viruses that could kill millions of people?” The risks were compounded because the Wuhan Institute had a very poor safety rating. Two years earlier, the State Department confidentially “warned other federal agencies about safety issues at Wuhan labs studying bat Covid,” but the public disclosure of that alert was delayed until 2022.

In January 2020, top federal scientists recognized that the pandemic could obliterate their reputations. Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes for Health, wrote in an email that “a swift convening of experts in a confidence-inspiring framework is needed or the voices of conspiracy will quickly dominate, doing great potential harm to science and international harmony.” The “conspiracy” was the facts of the matter.

Anthony Fauci, the chief of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), speedily enlisted a handful of trusted scientists to gin up a paper supposedly “proving” that the virus could not have originated in the lab. A top NIAID scientist accepted the task of debunking the lab-leak story because, as he emailed a colleague, “Tony doesn’t want his fingerprints on origin stories.” The Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals in the world, enlisted in the cover-up with an op-ed by 27 scientists who proclaimed: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that Covid-19 does not have a natural origin.” Maybe the same scientists also sent an addendum to NIH: Keep giving us grant money or your reputation will “swim with the fishes.”

Further “proof” was provided by a torrent of accusations of racism against anyone who publicly suggested that the virus originated in a Chinese lab. The State Department’s Global Engagement Center added a federal fist to the debate, pressuring Twitter to suppress hundreds of thousands of accounts (including thousands of average Americans) in early 2020 for the crime of suggesting that Covid originated in a lab. Bureaucrats secretly decided that wildly exaggerated forecasts of pandemic mortality made the First Amendment null and void.

Al Sharpton Gives Costco Kiss of Death

Well, at least we know what stores are still racist and to avoid.

Race thug Al Sharpton can’t lead boycotts against all the companies that are dumping the DEI policies that have alienated their customers, so he took the opposite approach by staging a “buy-in” for one company that is doubling down on antiwhite discrimination, Costco. This is likely to blow up in Costco’s face:

Costco shoppers warned that Al Sharpton’s involvement in a ‘buy in’ celebrating their DEI policies could be a ‘kiss of death’ for the retail giant.

Sharpton purchased gift vouchers for his mob to spend in the store. He has plenty of money to throw around, and not only because he refrains from paying taxes.

Sharpton was slammed for accepting a $500,000 payment from Kamala Harris’ team during the presidential election campaign just weeks before a gushing interview with her which aired on MSNBC.

Sharpton came to public attention by pushing the infamous Tawana Brawley hate hoax. His militant hostility toward Caucasians eventually earned him a spot at MSNBC.

Bud Light ended up with Dylan Mulvaney as the face of the brand; it cost them $billions. We’ll see what having professional race hater Al Sharpton as the face of Costco does for membership.

Why It’s Time DEI Dies

A just future is a color-blind future. The evil of racism is that it pits ethnic groups against each other. A society with diverse racial groups cannot cohesively exist in unity if these ethnic differences are elevated as primary identity delimiters that are to be held above all else. A truly unified and just society would view racial differences as insignificantly as it viewed differences in eye color. It recognizes that people look different, but they are still people like everyone else.

This is why the leftist woke “diversity, equity, and inclusion” movement is, in fact, unjust. Rather than seeking to unite people under their common humanity, this ideology divides people based on their racial differences and then applies broad sweeping prejudices upon these racial groups using the Marxist ethic of oppressor vs. oppressed.

DEI is little more than Marxism wrapped in race.

President Trump Signs Executive Order To Ban Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC)

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order (EO) related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, titled “Strengthening American Leadership In Digital Financial Technology”. This EO officially banned the creation and issuance of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the United States, defining a CBDC as “a form of digital money or monetary value, denominated in the national unit of account, that is a direct liability of the central bank.”

“Except to the extent required by law, agencies are hereby prohibited from undertaking any action to establish, issue, or promote CBDCs within the jurisdiction of the United States or abroad,” the order announced. “Except to the extent required by law, any ongoing plans or initiatives at any agency related to the creation of a CBDC within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be immediately terminated, and no further actions may be taken to develop or implement such plans or initiatives.”

The new EO will also establish a presidential working group to create a federal regulatory framework governing digital assets (including stablecoins), and evaluate the creation of a strategic national digital assets stockpile.

“The Working Group’s report shall consider provisions for market structure, oversight, consumer protection, and risk management,” stated the order. “The Working Group shall evaluate the potential creation and maintenance of a national digital asset stockpile and propose criteria for establishing such a stockpile, potentially derived from cryptocurrencies lawfully seized by the Federal Government through its law enforcement efforts.”

The EO defines the term “digital asset” as any digital representation of value that is recorded on a distributed ledger — which would include cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, digital tokens, and stablecoins.

Pro-LGBT backlash to Trump’s inauguration seems tired and defeated

In other words, people are tired of the crap. Even the proponents of the gender benders are losing their enthusiasm to fight. You can only keep a lie going just so long. Normal people are tired of men who were loser athletes beating the crap out of women in their sports.

This time around feels very different. The Women’s March — renamed, without irony, the “People’s March — only attracted around 10,000 last Saturday. On Monday, Donald Trump, after announcing in his second Inaugural address that the U.S. government would only recognize two genders going forward, signed an executive order mere hours after arriving back at the White House. Titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” is an incredibly comprehensive document that rejects the idea of gender as distinct from sex outright, lays out the correct terminology in great detail, and lists the various ways gender ideology will be eliminated. The first paragraph alone is simply excellent:

 Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic abuse shelters to women’s workplace showers.  This is wrong.  Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being.  The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.

The backlash has been predictable, but it feels … tired, somehow. Defeated. Perhaps this is because transgender issues hurt the Democrats badly in the 2024 election and likely contributed to Trump’s victory. Perhaps it is because the tech billionaires — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg — are moving on and no longer enforcing the top-down narrative that was always astro-turfed rather than changed from the grassroots up to begin with. The LGBT movement still owns the entertainment industry and much of academia, true. But Trump’s executive order felt like an endorsement of the prevailing view, and even Democrats seem unsure of what to do about their suddenly inconvenient allies.

Racist Eric Holder Panics Over Trumps’ DEI Dismantlement

President Donald Trump has taken significant action through executive orders to dismantle the diversity, equity, and inclusion complex that has taken hold in federal departments and in much of corporate America. For example, he instructed the federal government to investigate private sector DEI initiatives involving the potentially illegal use of race-conscious preferences.

Many of the companies now scrambling to avoid running afoul of anti-discrimination laws—and an administration willing to enforce them—hired prominent law firms to conduct race and diversity “audits,” a practice that ramped up in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd. One of the so-called diversity experts in high demand was corporate lawyer Eric Holder, the controversial former attorney general under Barack Obama.

Starbucks hired Holder, who charges as much as $2,300 an hour for his time, to conduct a “civil rights audit” in 2018. He recommended a series of policy changes to promote “equity” at the company, which implemented many of Holder’s suggestions only to be slapped with a shareholder lawsuit alleging the new policies violated non-discrimination laws. So it comes as no surprise that Trump’s executive orders have caused “fear and confusion” among corporate leaders, according to the New York Times.

Holder, who is also rumored to be panicking as a result of Trump’s action, recently circulated a memo to his corporate clients attempting to assuage their concerns. The memo, which was exclusively and semi-legally obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, is reprinted below for your immediate enjoyment:

Memo here with excerpt

Many of you have contacted me with questions regarding President Trump’s recent executive orders and the legal implications for the DEI policies I allegedly advised your companies to implement. While stipulating that these policies were enacted solely at the discretion of a corporate executive who may or may not have been acting on the advice of outside legal counsel, I strongly urge you consider taking the following steps to reduce your risk of federal prosecution:

What is important is how Holder sees everything through racism and his being black:

For much of his life, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. carried around something peculiar. While most people keep cash, family photos, and credit cards in their wallets, Holder revealed to a reporter in 1996 that he keeps with him an old clipping of a quote from Harlem preacher Reverend Samuel D. Proctor. Holder put the clipping in his wallet in 1971, when he was studying history at Columbia University, and kept it in wallet after wallet over the ensuing decades.

What were Proctor’s words that Holder found so compelling?

“Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else. Black people have a common cause that requires attending to, and this cause does not allow for the rigid class separation that is the luxury of American whites. There is a sense in which every black man is as far from liberation as the weakest one if his weakness is attributable to racial injustice.”

When asked to explain the passage, Holder replied, “It really says that … I am not the tall U.S. attorney, I am not the thin United States attorney. I am the black United States attorney. And he was saying that no matter how successful you are, there’s a common cause that bonds the black United States attorney with the black criminal or the black doctor with the black homeless person.”

Has anyone ever asked Holder what exactly is the “common cause” that binds the black attorney general and the black criminal? More important, what should the black attorney general do about this common cause? Should the black criminal feel empathy for the black attorney general, or more likely, do the favors only flow in one direction?

Holder’s explanation of Proctor’s quote offers some key insights into our attorney general’s worldview. First, being “more particular” than anything else, skin color limits and defines Americans — in other words, race comes first for Holder.

“Davos Has Begun to Crumble’: Argentina’s Milei Returns to WEF Summit To Celebrate the End of Leftist World Hegemony and the Many Conservative Leaders Working for Liberty

If you look one post down, I posted about the WEF assholes at Davos scheming to take over the world. The world changed this week with Trump and MAGA coming into power. I think everyone is tired of these assholes who think they are better than others because they are rich and have some power.

Here is the alternative view.

The libertarian President of Argentina, Javier Milei, returned to Davos, Switzerland, for a second time, one year after standing up practically alone against Globalism, leftism and wokeism.

But this time around, the world has changed – and there was much to celebrate in Milei’s speech.

The ‘global hegemony’ of left-wing politics and ideology is ‘starting to crumble’, Milei told the World Economic Forum today (23).

CNBC reported:

“’What once seemed like a global hegemony of the ‘woke’ left in politics, educational institutions, in the media, in supranational organizations or even in forums like Davos, has begun to crumble’, right-wing leader Milei, who took office in 2023, told business and political leaders in Davos, Switzerland.”

Milei celebrated his alliances with other like-minded leaders.

“’Over the course of this year, I have found allies in this fight for the cause of freedom in every corner of the world, from the amazing [tech billionaire] Elon Musk to that fierce Italian lady [Prime Minister] Giorgia Meloni, from [President Nayib] Bukele in El Salvador to Viktor Orban in Hungary’, he said, also namedropping Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump among his allies.

‘Slowly, an international alliance has been forming among all those nations who want to be free and believe in the ideas of liberty’, he said.”

The WEF Are Scheming In Davos To Take Over The World,,,,,,,,Again

Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better…. Welcome to my city—or should I say, “our city.” I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes. It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much. [Ida Auken]

No, this is not some Orwellian dystopia, but a sincere hope for those who believe in the United Nations 2030 agenda and the “Great Reset” ideology. The article containing this quote, published by the World Economic Forum (“WEF”) in 2016, has since been deleted due to widespread criticism and fear of negative perception; similarly, the WEF deleted its notorious video titled 8 predictions for the world in 2030, which proudly proclaimed “You will own nothing. And you will be happy.” If this sounds suspiciously communist, it is not a coincidence. We just need to replace the slogan “Workers of the world, unite!” with “Corporations of the world, unite!,” and the rest will follow.

The Communist International (“Komintern”) was a globalist organization of communist parties controlled by the Soviet Union, whose mission was “struggle by all available means, including armed force, for the overthrow of the international bourgeoisie and the creation of an international soviet republic as a transition stage to the complete abolition of the state.” The Komintern aspired to fulfill the Marxist goals of establishing communism—a utopian society without state borders, private property, money, marriage, religion, independent family and community structures, where everyone would live blissfully, receiving “according to his needs” and contributing “according to his abilities.”

Liberals Always Eat Their Own – Alex Soros Says Billionaire Dad ‘Very Upset’ With ‘Amount of Bureaucracy’ at Family’s Liberal Nonprofit

George Soros was “very upset” by the massive number of employees and “amount of bureaucracy” at his liberal nonprofit, the Open Society Foundations, according to the Democratic megadonor’s son.

Alex Soros, the 39-year-old son of the 94-year-old hedge fund billionaire, told the Financial Times his “only regret” since taking over Open Society Foundations several years ago is that he didn’t slash the nonprofit’s workforce sooner.

“My father didn’t want to create an employment agency, he wanted to create a network of networks and he was very upset with the amount of bureaucracy at the foundation,” the younger Soros said in an interview published Wednesday. “My only regret is that we didn’t do that faster, because I feel like he would have wanted that.”

It’s a surprising stance for the leader of an organization that historically promotes massive government programs, and has aggressively backed American funding for “pro-democracy” initiatives in Europe, Latin America, and elsewhere. Open Society was an early backer of the Green New Deal, the multitrillion-dollar climate change proposal. Open Society spent millions of dollars lobbying for President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which authorized nearly $900 billion in federal spending.

It may initially seem over-the-top hyperbole to compare Dr. Anthony Fauci to Josef Mengele, MD, the “Angel of Death” in Auschwitz. The facts prove that Fauci is at least in his league, if not worse. Fauci harmed or killed more people. He decimated public trust in federal medical institutions. Fauci acted solely to benefit his ego and his wallet. Mengele was working for what he believed was the greater good, admittedly of the Aryan race at the expense of all untermenschen (slave races). This made him an extreme racist but not venal.

Dr. was italicized above to emphasize that Fauci has been treating papers not people for his whole four-decade career. Nonetheless, he had the temerity to dictate to the real world, in-the-trenches clinical physicians, what they should do and what they cannot do for their patients.

By sneaking in a pardon during his last minutes as president, Joe Biden admitted to the world that Fauci is indictable, if not legally proven guilty, of numerous crimes. As he cannot be criminally tried, following is a partial list of crimes this author believes Fauci committed for which he will never be formally punished.

Public tyranny

Fauci’s tyranny was manifest by censorship, lockdowns, and mandatory injections which contravened the First Amendment to the Constitution denying Americans free speech, religious freedom, and right to assemble, as well as the Fourth Amendment “right to be secure in their persons.”

Forcing the public to accept injections of an experimental drug also violated the Third Pledge of the 1948 World Medical Association Declaration of Geneva, “respecting the autonomy … of my patient.”

Medical tyranny

Fauci’s medical tyranny was not limited to the American public. He also dictated to clinical physicians what they had to do — inject their patients with inadequately tested mRNA gene treatments and triage the sickest according to their social standing — and what they could not do, e.g., prescribe Ivermectin or adopt the Great Barrington Declaration approach.

Fauci is guilty of medical tyranny two ways. He ordered improper treatment protocols, and he forced his medical decisions on patients who did not choose him as their physician.

Anti-scientific medicine

As a true megalomaniac, Fauci declared, “I represent science,” and “those who oppose me are going against science.” His medical dictates contradicted scientific facts. He mandated face masks when studies showed they didn’t work to protect the wearer or to prevent spread of contagion. He locked down (quarantined) the healthy population with no epidemiologic evidence that such an action did any good: there was extensive proof of its harm. Fauci required not only universal mRNA “vaccination” but boosters as well, despite a vast body of data showing protection was fleeting and the jab was causing extensive harm even death.

Corruption

Anthony Fauci was the highest paid federal official — $480,654 in 2022 — even before he implemented the great COVID scam and swindle. It was a scam like the Emperor’s Clothes, asserting an existential threat that wasn’t there. It was a swindle by paying Big Pharma billions of taxpayer dollars through a no-competitive-bid contract for the mRNA shots he de facto mandated for everyone. It is known that pharmaceutical companies paid NIH and Fauci more than $150 million in royalties. How much went to Fauci is unknown, but his net wealth increased by more than $5 million during COVID, even as millions of Americans lost their jobs and incomes because of Fauci’s lockdowns.

Killing Credibility

Fauci damaged the credibility of federal agencies such as NIH, CDC, and FDA. (Former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s lawfare was probably a greater contributor to loss of trust.) Fauci would say something, and experience or reports that evaded his censorship showed the public precisely the opposite. In essence, he kept telling people not to believe their lying ears, eyes, and brains. “Just listen to me, do what I say, and everything will be fine.” Unfortunately for Fauci’s and Washington’s credibility, everything was not fine, not for We The People.

Biden’s justification for pardoning Fauci was newspeak, the official language in George Orwell’s book 1984. In newspeak, the government pronouncement was the antithesis of reality: ignorance is strength, war is peace, and freedom is slavery.  Biden wrote, “The issuance of these pardons [Fauci, General Milley, et al.] should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.” Translation: They are guilty and before someone goes to prove it, I am pardoning them.

Furthermore, Biden exonerated himself using a common Democrat tactic: attacking opponents by falsely accusing them of something Democrats deny doing but something they did in fact do. Democrats accused Trump of colluding with Russia when he didn’t, but Hillary Clinton did. Over four years, Biden and his progressive allies repeatedly used the courts as vehicles for illegal and unfounded political prosecutions of Trump by Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and Alvin Bragg. So naturally, Biden explains the need for pardons because they (those pardoned) “do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.” Clearly, Biden expects Trump to do to those preemptively pardoned what Biden’s cronies did to him.

Josef Mengele was a despicable, evil human being. Anthony Fauci may have been worse. Neither was (or will be) held accountable by any legal system. Both disgraced the title Doctor and are found unequivocally guilty in the court of public opinion as well as history books.

Guilty as in murder

Environmental Marxism

In 2006 the State of California passed the Global Warming Solutions Act mandating an unattainable and massive reduction of greenhouse gasses within the state by 2020. This bill, and mindless near-religious allegiance to the “green” movement, set in motion the recent catastrophic events in Los Angeles and previously throughout much of California, a state that for the past twenty-five years has been increasingly controlled by a Marxist-inspired Democrat Party.

It is not a coincidence that the current environmental or “green” movement is the driving philosophical force animating the Democrat Party not only in California but on national basis as this movement has its roots in Marxism.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote The Communist Manifesto in 1848. The general consensus on the Left is that Marx and Engels were in fact very conscious of and promoted the concept of what is considered to be the modern environmental movement. The current “green” movement is in reality a major facet of Marxist philosophy.

Among those who champion Marx’s environmentalism is Professor John Bellamy Foster of the University of Oregon. In 1997 he published The Crisis of the Earth, Marx’s Theory of Ecological Sustainability as a Nature-Imposed Necessity for Human Production.

Foster wrote, “Marx’s analysis of the crisis of the earth in the mid-nineteenth century led him to a concept of sustainability that was central to his vision of a communist society. Because this concept of sustainability was rooted in both a critique of capitalism and a vision of a future society, it has a richness and complexity all its own. A close examination of Marx’s concept of sustainability therefore offers important insight into the possibilities for the creation of a more just and sustainable world order.”

Per Raju J. Das of York University, Toronto, “Sustainability (or a healthy environment)… has to be fought for as part of a larger fight against the logistics of capitalism, such as endless accumulation, and against the system as a whole. Therefore, ecological sustainability is fundamentally a class issue.”

During the 1980s the global Communist Movement, due to setbacks in Russia and elsewhere, began to exploit and take over the fledging Marxist environmental movements in Europe and the United States. They saw the potential of the movement as a weapon to foment “peaceful” revolutions in democratic western nations.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was not the end of communism but a metamorphosis of the means of revolution as environmentalism became the socialists/communists’ primary weapon in undermining capitalism and Western societies.

This tactic was quickly recognized by those who had suffered under the oppression of communism for decades. In his book Blue Planet in Green Shackles, Vaclav Klaus, the first president of the Czech Republic after the end of nearly four decades of Soviet dictatorship, warned the nations of Europe and the United States, “As someone who lived under communism for most of my life, I feel obligated to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy, and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century, is not communism or its various softer versions. It was replaced by ambitious environmentalism.”

One of the great deceptions used by the Soviet Union was the incessant propagandizing of a fictitious hypothesis — that humans are responsible for any change in the climate and the only means of saving the earth is by adopting Marxian socialism. A scientifically-proven false premise but a tactic fully embraced and exploited by the current environmentalist movement.

This propaganda campaign has successfully convinced over 54% of the American citizenry to believe in human-driven climate change and the unquestioned need for drastic action to combat the impact of human activity on the environment.

Among the hallmarks of Marxism/Communism is universal disregard for human life as mankind is viewed as a mere cog in a wheel and therefore whatever so-called rights he or she may be granted is solely at the whim of the state. An omnipotent entity that supposedly looks out for the best interest of the people. Yet, as history has amply chronicled, the advocates of communism have had no problem eliminating millions of lives in order to achieve a Marxist utopia.

Which neatly dovetails with the primary tenet of the green movement. Human activity causes climate change; therefore, human overpopulation is the cause of virtually all environmental and economic catastrophe. Consequently, any means of reducing the population is therefore acceptable, whether it is a negligently uncontrolled wildfire in Los Angeles, a green-agenda- induced drought or famine, an untested vaccine forcefully administered to untold millions around the globe, or the cataclysmic collapse of societies by accelerating the elimination of fossil fuels.

more here, if you dare, but it has nothing to do with caring for the environment. It’s using that as a tool to control the masses, just like Marxism

I Prefer Toxic Masculinity to Deadly D.E.I. Incompetence

All masculine images have been reclassified as toxic by the progressive feminists so my headline may be misleading.

I actually prefer real examples of the male in all his magnificent glory while rescuing those in need of brute strength to combat adversity of all kinds.

What we have seen in recent news is the failure of instituting Diversity, Equity and Inclusive (D.E.I.) policies into emergency services that require strength and power.

Nothing was made clearer than the disastrous interview with LAFD deputy assistant, Kristine Larson, who had the nerve to suggest that if she, as a woman firefighter, was unable to carry a man out of a burning house, then the man was at fault. “He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.”  

Unbelievable! Ms. Larson is the head of the D.E.I. division and earns a salary of $300,000 a year. Yes, she is a lesbian as is the chief of the LAFD, Kristin Crowley, who was the first woman and LGBTQ+ to head the LAFD. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that (s).)

I admit to being somewhat a bit of a chauvinist when it comes to toxic feminism a.k.a., ‘hating men.’

When the debate first arose about the NYFD allowing more women into the department, I immediately nixed that idea unless the candidates resembled Game of Thrones’s Brienne of Tarth portrayed by 6’3” Gwendoline Christie and could lift as much weight as a man.

Noted feminist Gloria Steinem made one of the stupidest remarks ever when asked how a woman could carry a heavy man out of a burning building. Steinem suggested that women can employ different techniques to perform rescues effectively. For example, instead of carrying a person over their shoulder, which may require significant upper body strength, a woman firefighter might use a drag method. Really? Dragging someone down the stairs is an answer? Hmmm, is concussion and brain damage sustained during the drag a better option than having a strong man do the job, Gloria?

I grew up in Spanish Harlem when it was a dangerous place to live and it was such a relief to have a tall, strong, policeman patrolling my block. The sight of the blue helmeted police officers on motorcycles or horses made me feel secure in spite of my dysfunctional home life. Sometime in the 1960s, the powers that be lowered the job’s height requirement allowing munchkins and women to join the NYPD and we know how that’s turning out.

YouTube videos of female cops being unable to wrestle with strong criminals is certainly not encouraging, albeit somewhat amusing.

What must be the biggest denouement of the D.E.I. fiasco was the sight of those three female Secret Service agents assigned to Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania where he was shot by a would-be assassin.

The poorly trained, ineffectual, presidential bodyguards were laughable with one unable to even holster her weapon. The Biden White House must have deliberately picked at least some from the bottom of the Secret Service barrel to guard the hated Trump.

The deadly Los Angeles wildfires have cost over $250 billion and it is not unreasonable to question whether the heavy cost was due to a firefighting agency run under the auspices of incompetent, unqualified D.E.I. employees.

Who on Earth started this successful anti-male campaign?  Much as I’ve always been skeptical of women’s liberal organizations, I do believe there’s a more sinister hand pulling their strings and they’re just too dumb to recognize the manipulation.

The progressive agenda funded by oligarch George Soros has many tentacles besides D.E.I.. They also support LBTQ+; intifada uprisings; BLM; antisemitism; global warming, pandemic hoaxes, and all the faux Palestinian protests designed to disrupt the daily lives of decent American citizens of all races and creeds. The main objective of this Marxist agenda is to destroy this nation and the principles on which it was founded and to replace it with what is essentially communism.

Thankfully, this plot has been aired and exposed with the miraculous reelection of Donald J. Trump who is readying his 100 executive orders to dismantle just about every destructive initiative that the Biden administration and the Deep State unleased on our nation since the pandemic.

I have family in Los Angeles living near the wildfires that should have been less devastating if the city leadership had not caved to progressive mandates that cut resources to battle such emergencies. Sad to say, my family will still vote for these same nimrods again. I hope and pray that they will wake up like the rest of the nation who recognized last summer the gift we received in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The sight of a bloodied Donald Trump raising a fist and shouting, “fight, fight, fight, ” was the best rallying cry this nation needed to unite to make America great again.

The progressives may think this masculine image is toxic but I love it.

The Free Ride Is Over At Meta – DEI Expert Bemoans the Death of ‘Diversity’ Programs at Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta

Losing Sheryl Sandberg was the best thing that happened to Meta. That and Zuckerberg growing a pair when he learned Ju-Jitsu.

In an opinion piece, former Facebook diversity executive Bärí A. Williams criticizes Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to disband the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, signaling a shift in priorities as he aligns with the incoming Trump administration.

Williams, author of Seen Yet Unseen: A Black Woman Crashes the Tech Fraternity and the founder of Facebook’s Supplier Diversity Program, recently published an opinion piece via MSNBC on the shutdown of Meta’s DEI initiatives. In the piece, Williams stated her concerns about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to disband the company’s DEI programs, signaling a change in priorities as he seeks to align with the incoming Trump administration.

Williams expressed her disappointment in the abandonment of Meta’s Supplier Diversity Program, an initiative she spent countless hours developing. She writes, “From October 2014 to October 2016, I spent nights, weekends and even part of my maternity leave, creating the supplier diversity program. And now it’s defunct.” The decision to dismantle the Supplier Diversity Program comes as a surprise, especially considering Meta’s previous pledges to support diversity and inclusion. As Williams notes, “In June 2020, Facebook pledged a $1.1 billion ‘investment in Black and diverse suppliers and communities in the U.S.’”

However, Williams believes that with the departure of Sheryl Sandberg, who served as Facebook’s chief operating officer between 2008 and 2022 and was a champion of content moderation, sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion, “the buffer was removed.” She adds, “Zuckerberg, who’s now evangelizing on the virtues of ‘masculine energy’ in companies, has reportedly blamed Sandberg for the existence of the company’s diversity initiatives and said she was the reason why he couldn’t disband them.” Breitbart News previously reported on Zuckerberg passing the buck to Sandberg by blaming her for the company’s DEI lunacy. Williams believes “this is Zuckerberg showing us who he really is.”

DEI In Government – Philadelphia Mayor’s Attempt to Cheer on the Eagles Goes Terribly Wrong When She Makes Grade School Mistake

Go Egles

Just when you thought the postseason couldn’t get any worse for the fans of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Oh, sure, on the field, it’s been great. The Eagles went 14-3 during the regular season and won the NFC East, then coasted through their first playoff game against the Green Bay Packers and outlasted the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, earning a spot in the NFC Championship against division rivals Washington.

However, both of those games came with a bit of viral infamy for Eagles-adjacent non-players. After the Packers game, a rude and abusive Eagles fan who was throwing grotesquely misogynistic slurs became the subject of a social media firestorm, especially when it turned out that he was an employee at a DEI-centric consulting firm. (He later got fired and banned from all future events at Lincoln Financial Field.)

As for the Rams game, just hours before Philly dispatched Los Angeles, the mayor of Philly took the viral center stage for her chant cheering on the Eagles. Or, rather, the Elgses.

Who are the Elgseses? No, not the family four houses down that regifts you a fruitcake every Christmas. It’s the team Democrat Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker apparently thinks she’s cheering for.

“Listen, we gotta do this,”  she said, according to WCAU-TV. “Let me hear you all sing!”

Then she began the chant, which … well, if this were a five-year-old, maybe we’d think this was cute:

This is the mayor of the city, and what’s her version of it? “E! L! G! S! E! S!” I’m halfway surprised she didn’t end it with, “Pat, I’d like to buy a consonant,” only for her staff to inform her she wasn’t on “Wheel of Fortune,” Ryan Seacrest took over for Pat Sajak as the host, and you don’t need to buy consonants.

On the plus side, as of this past Monday, Joe Biden’s handlers are out of a job. Most of them are Delaware-based, which means they’re in the general vicinity of Philadelphia. If they can prop up that meat puppet for virtually four years, I’m sure they can do wonders for Cherelle Parker.This is the mayor of the city, and what’s her version of it? “E! L! G! S! E!

Harvard and Stanford MBAs Struggling to Find Jobs

When reading this, it could be deduced that AI is taking some of the jobs. In reality, they aren’t getting the education companies want. They are indoctrination centers producing unqualified thinkers. The kids used to get jobs through the network of graduates from the Ivy Leagues, but business has changed and there are only so many Wall Street or crony capable jobs. People want educated decision makers and that is not what an Ivy League MBA has morphed into.

In reality, these schools are turning out one-sided leftists who are not critical thinkers. They lack the ability to view both sides of the facts and accept that there is merit in many sides of an issue when making decisions.

In other words, they are tired fo the crap these elitest kids are spewing and there is talent elsewhere that is worth hiring first.

The job market has turned unforgiving, even for graduates from elite institutions like Harvard Business School (HBS). A staggering 23% of HBS’s 2024 MBA graduates were still job-hunting three months after graduation, according to The Wall Street Journal.

This sharp increase from the 10% unemployment rate in 2022 highlights a tough economic climate where prestige is no longer enough. “Going to Harvard is not going to be a differentiator. You have to have the skills,” said Kristen Fitzpatrick, HBS’s head of career development.

Harvard’s struggles are part of a larger trend. Institutions like Wharton, Stanford, and NYU Stern have reported their worst job placement figures in years. At Northwestern’s Kellogg School, 13% of MBA graduates remained unemployed three months post-graduation, triple the number from previous years.

Liza Kirkpatrick, assistant dean at Kellogg, reassured, “No one is left on the field,” as schools ramp up efforts to support graduates.

The tech and consulting industries, traditionally key recruiters, have reduced hiring significantly. Companies like Amazon, Google, and McKinsey have scaled back MBA recruitment. McKinsey hired only 33 MBAs from Chicago Booth in 2024, down from 71 in 2023, WSJ reported.

The fierce competition has left graduates like Ronil Diyora, a University of Virginia Darden alumnus, disheartened. Diyora, who switched careers to technology, applied for over 1,000 roles and attended numerous networking events but remains uncertain about the value of his MBA.

Others, like Yvette Anguiano, who secured a consulting role with EY-Parthenon, face delayed start dates. Anguiano, whose start was postponed until June 2025, said, “I was pretty devastated,” as she juggles mounting student loans.

DEI Ruining The Police Force, Again – Black guy tells female cop he’s carrying a holstered gun—and she still accidentally shoots him…

We regret to inform you that yet another female cop DEI hire who accidentally shot someone has made the news. While this isn’t a new story, it’s getting fresh attention after an appeals court handed down a decision this former police officer won’t be happy about.

The DEI officer, a female who had no business wearing a badge, shot a man in the back during a traffic stop. Without a bodycam or dash cam in her cruiser, she did what any good little lady would do—she lied to cover up her mistake. After all, who’s the public more likely to believe? The female cop or the lowly peasant?

DEI cop Kasha Domingue shot Mr. Dilley in the back as he ran away during that routine traffic stop. Prosecutors revealed she never even attempted to render aid, leaving Dilley to wait nearly eight minutes until another officer finally arrived. Despite the lenient sentence Domingue received, Dilley isn’t fixated on it. He’s more focused on preventing this from happening to anyone else. “I’m cool with that because, I mean, again, I’m going for the bigger picture here,” Dilley said.

This same type of story is playing out again, this time in Florida. A black man was pulled over by cops, and he told them he was carrying a holstered gun. But while the female officer was retrieving the gun, she somehow managed to shoot him.

Sadly, you can’t make this stuff up. It’s DEI in the flesh.

The lady cop is now under investigation by Internal Affairs.

JAX Today:

Internal Affairs began investigating Cardwell after she conducted a traffic stop on a sports utility vehicle that ran a red light Dec. 13 on North Main Street, police say.

Cardwell and two other officers were at the scene, according to police.

Investigators say one of the officers saw the vehicle’s steering column was damaged, leading him to suspect it had been stolen. The officer told driver Jason Arrington to get out of the vehicle after Arrington disclosed that he had a firearm.

“What we’re going to do is, just for my safety and your safety, I’m going to have you step out,” one officer told Arrington, according to the officer’s bodycam video. “We’re just gonna remove the pistol from you, and then we are going to run your license and make sure everything’s good.”

Cardwell tried to remove the gun from a holster tucked inside Arrington’s waistband, but had difficulty, police say.

As she tugged, she unintentionally placed multiple fingers inside the gun’s trigger guard, causing it to fire, police say.

After the gun fired, someone yelled a curse. Arrington was seen beginning to slump against his SUV. He was taken to a hospital.

Druckenmiller Declares: U.S. Going From ‘The Most Anti-Business Administration In History To The Opposite’

Duquesne Family Office Chairman Stanley Druckenmiller stated Monday that “animal spirits” have returned to the market, fueled by “giddy” CEOs anticipating Trump’s return to the White House. Speaking to CNBC, the billionaire investor argued that the U.S. economy is shifting from “the most anti-business administration” in history to the most business-friendly administration. 

STANLEY DRUCKENMILLER: The economy is very interesting. We’re at a very low unemployment rate, essentially 4%, with 3% GDP growth. I’ve been doing this for 49 years, and we’re probably moving from the most anti-business administration to the opposite. We do a lot of talking to CEOs and companies on the ground, and I’d say CEOs are somewhere between relieved and giddy. We’re believers in animal spirits. Paul Ryan was on your show last week talking about a 32% increase in business confidence over the last 12 months, which is probably a record in terms of change.

So the economy looks very strong, at least for the next six months, which is about as far out as one can see with any degree of confidence.

In terms of the markets, I would say it’s complicated. Despite what I just said about all the wonderful things about the economy, we have an earnings yield to bond yield ratio that’s probably the most unattractive level in 30 years.

So you’ll have this push of a strong economy versus rising bond yields in response to that strong economy, and that makes it hard to have a strong opinion one way or the other on the market.

I will say this: in my business, every change creates change in security prices, and having this kind of radical shift from one administration to another, in addition to what’s going on in the private sector with innovation, then you’ve got deregulation from the government, disruption. I think there’s going to be plenty of chance, plenty for your viewers to do. I wouldn’t worry about the market, I would focus on individual stocks.

No, Women Should Not Be In Combat

When questioning Hegseth, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said this: “If you are a sharpshooter, you’re as lethal, regardless of what your gender identity is, regardless of who you love.”

This writer would reply: “Senator, go to the largest high school in your state.  Pick out the 100 toughest senior athletes: 50 male, 50 female.  Form two gender-segregated infantry platoons.  Issue them standard infantry combat gear, M4 carbines, and 80-pound rucksacks.

“Teach them how to shoot.  Then order the two platoons to march ten miles, climb a hill, dig foxholes, jump in, and fire at targets 50 yards downhill.  Which platoon would get there faster, open fire faster, and fire more accurately?  Therefore, which platoon is more lethal?”

We all know the answer.

Consider the biathlon, an obscure Olympic event.  Competitors have to ski cross-country, then fire a rifle at a target, then start skiing again, over and over.  Any sharpshooter can confirm that breathing hard; a pounding heart; and shaky, sweaty hands make sharpshooting difficult.  But these are the obvious results of having an exhausted body.

Scores are derived from both accuracy and overall time over the cross-country course.  A mediocre marksman who’s in top condition can beat an expert sniper who’s out of shape, and vice versa.  Infantry must excel in both areas.

Exhaustion effects are both physical and psychological.  Exhausted people don’t want to fight — and if they fight, they’re far less effective.  And as Hegseth observed, the weight of an 80-pound ruck or an artillery shell, or the labor of digging foxholes, doesn’t become lighter or easier if XX rather than XY chromosomes are involved.

An average man is five inches taller and 40–50 pounds heavier than an average woman.  Even if they’re the same height and weight, the man has 50% more upper body strength, greater bone density, larger heart and lungs, and other advantages.

Yes, the Soviet Union put female snipers and combat pilots into combat during World War II — because they were constantly scraping the bottom of their manpower barrel.  A few women rose to the occasion to become Heroes of the Soviet Union, simply because both men and women, when they’re not breathing hard, can be outstanding shots.  And women can develop a truly cold-blooded killer instinct.  All they need to do is imagine their targets attacking their children.  That’s how they’re wired.

There are stories about the Israelis, who also scraped the bottom of their manpower barrel, and were forced to put all-female infantry into combat in the mid-20th century.  According to these unconfirmed reports, male units focused on protecting the women rather than achieving their military objectives.  Again, that’s how we’re wired.

Left-wing defenders of women in combat claim that tanks, radios, and fighter jets don’t require XY chromosomes.  Insert a sighing, eye-rolling emoticon here.  Radios break, tanks break down, and fighter jets get shot down.  Command posts get overrun, and ammo runs out.  In a jam, everybody’s infantry.

Recent events in women’s sports have only served to underscore the difference between men and women.  Like the difference between intelligence and wisdom, we’re just not the same — but each has its own great value, in its own roles.

We’re always had men’s and women’s divisions in sports.  Boxing, wrestling, and all martial arts have weight classes within those divisions.  All this is for good reasons.

The Army was forced to rewrite its field manuals to turn “two-man jobs” into “three-person jobs.”  This can lead to disaster for any military force that faces recruiting shortfalls and relies, in every instance, on quality rather than quantity.

Scrapping ‘Bidenbucks,’ Trump pulls federal government out of election meddling

Although I have my doubts about election meddling, this is a good start.

The “Bidenbucks” executive order directing federal agencies to boost voter participation has gone the way of the Biden administration.

President Donald Trump eliminated Executive Order 14019, which President Joe Biden signed in March 2021, calling for federal agencies to partner with private “voter-advocacy groups” and to develop “strategic plans.”

Trump signed what amounted to an omnibus executive order that scrapped almost 80 executive actions taken by Biden. The title was “Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.”

Congressional scrutiny and watchdog groups, such as the Foundation for Government Accountability, which sued for records on the order, were “enough to slow-roll implementation of the order to ensure that people, and not partisan bureaucrats” decided the 2024 election, said Stewart Whitson, senior director of federal affairs for the foundation.

“President Trump should be commended for getting rid of the ‘Bidenbucks’ scandal,” Whitson told The Daily Signal. “This shows the president is committed to stopping weaponized government.”

Whitson later added, “Now, it’s about accountability.”

That and the NGO’s are how they waste money and add waste to the payroll

Race Baiter Al Sharpton – threatens black boycott against companies dropping DEI programs: ‘You want to put us back in the back of the bus’

Sharpton reportedly makes hundreds of thousands of dollars from his nonprofit activist network.

It’s an absolute lie other than to try and ignite the 60’s hate that the country had all but snuffed out until Obama got elected.

I’d like to know how he’s a Reverand also as he never mentions God or eternity. His mantra is racism and money for his activist network. This story is getting tired and is running out of steam.

Hate and activism is how he raises money. Racism is racism regardless of color and he’s a racist.

He’s also a criminal owing somewhere between 16-25 million in back taxes that he won’t pay. The average citizen gets an IRS visit for $600. There are 2 sets of rules

Race activist Al Sharpton announced a boycott against companies that drop enforcing diversity, equity, and inclusion policies after newly inaugurated President Donald Trump issued an executive order against DEI.

Sharpton posted the threat on social media with a statement comparing himself to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr.

‘Two companies will then be subjected this spring to a boycott by Black Americans.’

“Why do we have DEl? We have DEl because you denied us diversity, you denied us equity, you denied us inclusion. DEl was a remedy to the racial institutionalized bigotry practice in academia and in these corporations. Now, if you want to put us back in the back of the bus, we gonna do the Dr. King-Rosa Parks on you,” Sharpton said at the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, D.C.

This tactic was developed by Jesse Jackson to shake down companies by threatening racial exposure and boycotting. The world has progressed though (unlike Sharpton) and we know that we are not as racist as he claims and that his tactics are KKK era.

DEI is failing on a massive scale because of racist grifters like Sharpton. They’ve been exposed as money grabbers and liars willing to sell out to get paid.

Antifa militants targeted an ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon, on Monday night, just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn into office. The incident was in retaliation to the Trump administration’s mass deportation operations and crackdown on illegal immigration. No arrests were made and the far-left extremist group vowed to carry out more acts of violence against federal immigration officials and facilities, according to social media posts.

Video footage posted to X, formerly Twitter, shows a group of roughly 15 Antifa militants dressed in black bloc riot gear igniting fires and squaring off with federal law enforcement outside the ICE detention center located at 4310 S Macadam Road in Portland. The clip was filmed by an anarchist and uploaded to X under the username @comradecamera at 11:08 pm.

According to the video, Antifa militants encircled officers as they attempted to extinguish one of the fires, with a few of them utilizing megaphones to issue threats and harassment. “I’m so glad you signed up for this,” one Antifa member could be heard yelling, mocking authorities.

I’ve been there a bunch over the years due to relatives. It gets worse every time. It started with make Portland weird, but now it’s just make Portland suck more.

People shit on the street. Businesses board up windows, crazies yell at you in the street and the homeless and drugs are everywhere. They don’t do anything to improve it and it decays every day. I’ve stopped going. I stopped wanting to go years ago, but finally put my foot down.

I don’t go anymore because of the state of the city. It’s due to liberals running things into the ground. It’s not even recognizable as part of the rest of the United States. It’s become it’s own country

Will Trump be a Titan Worthy of McKinley?

I knew he took a swipe at Obama as soon as he announced it. Obama hates people who made America great (and America) who were capitalists.

It’s back to Mt. McKinley now, what it should have been.

If you ask people who William McKinley was, most of them will just shrug.

McKinley was president at the turn of the 20th century. Though little remembered, he was one of the most consequential presidents ever. He was also the third president to be assassinated. He has a VIP admirer here in the early 21st century. That’s Donald Trump.

Trump has a single four-year term in office to accomplish epic change. But so did McKinley. Well, actually, his presidency was a term and nine months. He was killed in September 1901.

McKinley’s election in 1896 reinvigorated the flagging Republican majority. That majority grew out of Lincoln’s 1860 election and the subsequent civil war. Trump’s mission isn’t to reinvigorate an existing majority. No, no… His mission is to break the gridlock that has bedeviled politics throughout the first decades of this century. He means to solidify a Republican majority grounded on America First principles.

Breaking the gridlock began last November. Working-class and middle-income voters backed Trump. He’s embarking on a huge national course correction. His success or failure over the next four years will decide the nation’s fate. If Trump fails, the nation lapses back into the mire of the last quarter of a century — or even worse.

Twenty-five years of unremarkable presidents (including sly Barack Obama) and gridlock culminated in Joe Biden, a dementia patient who was a tool of cynical elites (raise your hand, Barack). Historically, Biden’s administration bottom-dwells along with Jimmy Carter’s and James Buchanan’s presidencies. Just cleaning up the mess left behind by Puppet Joe is challenging enough.

McKinley’s term was remarkable in that he ushered the U.S. onto the world stage. The U.S. began flexing its muscles globally. McKinley annexed Hawaii. That has benefitted American vacationers ever since — oh, and, yes, it proved to have strategic importance. Hawaii was critical to U.S. success in the war with Japan. It remains critical today in relationship to the PRC and Asia Pacific.

McKinley’s presidency hinged on his campaign theme during the 1896 election. He promised voters a “full dinner pail.” He delivered. He erected tariffs that protected domestic markets. He signed into law the gold standard, to the distress of William Jennings Bryan, who was a “free silver” champ. Gold proved a boon to finance and the economy.

Trump has his own version of a full dinner pail. Yes, tariffs are part of it. Her doesn’t intend to build unbreachable walls to trade and foreign investment. What he aims for is fair trade, along with — wait for it — common sense protections. For the better part of this century working- and middle-class Americans have seen wages and living standards deteriorate.

In the nation’s history, no majority coalition has endured without the backing of the Great Middle. From farmers and tradesmen to industrial workers and middle managers to, today, information-age workers and blue-collar folk, a lasting GOP majority happens only with America’s broad middle as the base.

JERUSALEM – U.S. President Donald Trump kept his campaign promises in the first hours of his second term, signing dozens of executive orders to undo the damage of the previous four years of the Biden presidency.

One of those involved – with immediate effect – the defunding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, as the Trump team has decided to suspend any foreign assistance for 90 days pending reviews.

This one brought the crazies out of the woodwork. How is that woman even a bishop in a church supposedly based on the Bible? She’s promoting ideas dooming her to hell.

Among the actions President Donald Trump took Monday to overturn much of the previous administration’s agenda, Trump signed an executive order requiring that the U.S. recognize only two genders. 

“The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system,” the order states. 

The order provides a definition of “woman” as being an adult human female, and “girls” as a juvenile human female. Likewise, under Trump’s order, “man” is defined as adult human males and “boy” as juvenile human males.

There were reports that the Trump administration was mulling a ‘warrior panel’ to purge the military of the woke brass.

We’re not even two days into the Trump presidency, and he’s already firing people.

Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, 61, has been terminated by the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman, the official said.

Fagan has demonstrated leadership deficiencies, operational failures and an inability to advance the strategic objectives of the Coast Guard.

These include the failure to address border security threats, insufficient leadership in recruitment and retention, mismanagement in acquiring key acquisitions such as icebreakers and helicopters, excessive focus on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and an “erosion of trust” over the mishandling and cover-up of Operation Fouled Anchor, which was the Coast Guard’s internal investigation into sexual assault cases at the Coast Guard Academy.

Environmentalists Permanently Halted Pacific Palisades Fire Prevention Project Before the Fire Was Sparked

Assholes on parade

As if there weren’t enough outrages coming out of California to keep most keen observers livid, consider this: A fire prevention project at a state park currently in the midst of the Palisades blaze was stopped due to environmental concerns about a shrub.

According to reports from 2019 and 2020, not only was the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power precluded from undertaking a bulldozing project in Topanga State Park due to danger toward the Braunton’s milk vetch, but the city also had to pay nearly $2 million in fines for even starting the project.

In an August 2019 article, the Los Angeles Times reported that the LADWP had intended to bulldoze an area in the park and replace flammable wooden poles with steel ones.

The Lousiest President of All Time

Anybody who wants to explain how bad the Biden administration is has to start with COVID. 

As such, we knew a few things early on in the pandemic,  and they were as follows:

  1. The average age of death from the virus was in the 80s.
  2. It had almost zero effect on young people and children.
  3. Most people who died from it had three or more co-morbidities — that is, they were old as hell, fat as a hog, and really liked smoking, or drinking, or cancer.
  4. It was in the same class of virus as the common cold.

Once we knew these things, especially the last one, the obvious thing to do was to give up.  There was no point crippling the strong for the sake of the weak when the weak depend upon the strong and most of the weak aren’t affected by COVID anyway.  We should have put the elderly on welfare and expanded Medicaid a bit and let the rest of us run loose.  No — we should have subsidized tickets to bath houses and any place kids eat that has a ball pit.

We like to say “hindsight is 20/20,” but this isn’t hindsight at all.  Hell, it was 2020.  The stuff I mentioned above was the conclusion every person with regular sight came to the second our government called most workers “non-essential.”  Yet this society was immediately cleaved in two.  All the healthy and thoughtful people were pitted against the sanctimonious do-gooders, the goose-steppers, and the hysterical weaklings.  And they beat us into submission, big time.

And Joe Biden was their champion.

story

Almost overnight, millions were thrown out of work, and a vaccine was made up that nobody had properly tested, which no company was liable for and, in its experimental form, until the pandemic hit, had never been approved by the FDA.  Joe Biden tried to force every American in a company of more than 100 people to take it or lose his job — around two thirds of the whole country, it turned out.  Heart attacks in teenagers went through the roof.  People had to choose between gambling their health and losing their homes.  Pfizer was completely unaccountable and made a windfall.  Mom-and-Pop stores across the nation went bankrupt, and gyms and churches were forced shut, and Walmart and Amazon made a killing.

To make up for the mass unemployment Democrats caused and encouraged, Joe decided to print more money than anyone ever did in American history — a bill worth $1.9 trillion, which singlehandedly made the dollar implode.  This made everybody in the country take a giant pay cut, effectively, and now most Americans can’t afford the groceries they were buying in 2019.  Or used cars.  Or (many times) the rent.

Some people escaped this crushing poverty: the ultra-rich, the people who broke the country, and people who broke into the country.  The border was left wide open for nearly Biden’s whole term, and depending on where they went, illegal aliens were given not only free housing and medical care, but also smartphones and thousands of dollars.

FLASHBACK 2020: Democrats, Media Lose Their Minds Over Preemptive Pardons

Right before he left office, FORMER President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons for family members, Lizzy Cheney, Fauci, and others.

Back in 2020, the Democrats and their friends in the mainstream media lost their minds because they just knew President Donald Trump would issue preemptive pardons for his family before he left office in January 2021.

Yeah, that didn’t happen.

At the end of Trump’s first term, the president reportedly floated preemptive pardons for friends and family members, including lawyer Rudy Guiliani. Schumer said his preemptive pardons “would be a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority” during a speech on the Senate floor in December 2020.

Biden Crime Family Confirmed – You Only Pardon The Guilty

No one needs a pardon unless they commit a crime. To pardon them in advance with no indictment reveals that there is a significant crime. This will stain his administration and confirm to the rest of the world that there are 2 sets of rules, one for the people and another for the politicians. This finishes his sell out of the country, in the worst way and the complete time he was in office with the pardon occurring in the last 15 minutes of his presidency.

President Joe Biden pardoned his family members, including his businessman brother James and political adviser sister Valerie, in his final moments in office before Donald Trump returned to power.

Biden justified his preemptive pardons, contending his “family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics” and adding “unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.”

The last-minute action adds to an earlier sweeping pardon for his son, Hunter.

“I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics,” Biden wrote in a statement roughly 20 minutes before the end of his presidency. “But baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage their reputations and finances.”

Here are the 25 Photos That Expose the True Disaster of Joe Biden’s Presidency

Pick one for yourself. It was a disaster for everyone in America, except the Biden family, right up to the end.

Since seizing office in 2021 following a presidential election that was tainted by widespread voter fraud, Joe Biden has overseen rampant inflation, disastrous foreign policy, a rise in poverty, the invasion of over ten million illegal aliens, the persecution and torture of political opponents and an obsession with identity politics, among many other failings.

In addition to his political failings, Biden has also been in a state of constant mental and physical decline that eventually culminated with him being forced to drop out the presidential race and make way for his vice-president Kamala Harris.

Thankfully, the American people recognized Harris’s role in Biden’s disastrous leadership and delivered a landslide election victory to Donald Trump that was too big to rig.

Here’s the entire list, with a couple of them to keep the post short enough.

2. “Gas Prices”

Gas prices rose massively in 2021, leading to high inflation across the entire U.S. economy.

5. “Afghanistan Withdrawal”

In one of Washington’s worst-ever foreign policy failures, the Taliban took back control of Afghanistan shortly after Biden ordered U.S. withdrawal.

6. “Dead Soldiers”

13 soldiers were killed during the botched withdrawal, leaving their families devastated.

Thirteen service members were killed in Kabul during the Biden administration during his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
8. “The Illegal Invasion”

Over 10 million people entered the U.S. under the Biden administration, overrunning cities and wasting billions of taxpayer dollars.

Many were placed in luxury hotels and had all their living expenses paid for.

Now The Biden Criminals Are Confirmed: Joe Biden Pardons Tony Fauci, Loser Mark Milley, and Entire J6 Select Committee of Liars in Final Act Against America

Joe Biden pardoned Tony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the entire J6 Select Committee of liars in his final act as president.

They were all faithful servants to the Democrat machine. Now comes their reward.

Fauci’s policies destroyed millions of lives, bankrupted thousands of businesses, and unnecessarily killed millions around the world.

Liz Cheney, who is currently under investigation by the US House of Representatives, knowingly lied about January 6 and President Trump’s actions that day.

General Milley was one of the architects of the worst American foreign policy blunder in history. His response to his own ineptness was to focus on the woke military agenda. Milley also was making promises with China to warn them about any possible US attack. What a traitor.

Biden just pardoned these individuals – now we know they were all criminals.

Illegal Immigrants Have Begun Deporting Themselves; Don’t Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out

There’s a new sheriff in town and the free money is going to dry up.

Rolando Vasquez told NewsNation that there has been a surge in immigrant voluntarily leaving with Trump’s promised mass deportations on the horizon and with Mexico agreeing to take non-Mexican deportees.

Another driving factor is that Cuba and Venezuela generally do not accept deportation flights from the United States but may accept them from Mexico.

“This is causing many migrants to leave on their own, knowing that they’re either going to be deported to their home country or be deported to Mexico,” Vasquez said, adding “The overwhelming majority of them do not want to be in Mexico.”

NewsNation reporter Jorge Ventura also warned sources have told him that newly deported migrants are targets for extortion or even abduction by Mexican cartels and human smugglers.

Here’s more about the rats leaving a sinking ship

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, a positive trend is emerging, which is an uptick in self-deportations among illegal immigrants.

“Self-deportation helps Trump to achieve his goals without the government having to spend or do anything,” the Associated Press reported.

Among them was Michel Bérrios, a former leader of a Nicaraguan student uprising, who left the United States just days before the New Year began.

Under the failed presidency of Joe Biden, the U.S. has devolved into a mass dumping ground for unvetted armies of unskilled, uneducated migrants, many of whom are convicted felons in their homelands.

No nation — no matter how wealthy or powerful — can survive if it’s relentlessly under siege and being devoured from the inside-out on a daily basis.

Marine Corp study found all-male combat units performed better than mixed units. All-male units were faster, and more accurate and precise. Additionally, there was a higher rate of injury for females compared to males when performing the same task.

EV And Sustainability Hypocrisy: Amazon uses huge diesel generator to charge electric delivery van fleet

Amazon closed out 2024 with more than 20,000 electric delivery vans manufactured by Rivian in its fleet nationwide. The e-commerce giant highlights on its website that the electric vans are part of its “urgent” climate change initiative to “remove carbon emissions from transportation systems.”

However, Amazon faces mounting criticism for gaslighting the public about its net zero goals and actual operational fleet practices.

Take, for instance, Amazon’s website. Within the Sustainability section, the company laid out its approach to fight so-called global warming: “To reach this target, we’re also expanding the use of zero-emission transportation such as electric delivery vans, cargo e-bikes, and on-foot deliveries, and we engage in industry initiatives to remove carbon emissions from transportation systems like ocean shipping, aviation, and trucking. We’re also using innovative construction techniques and building materials to make our fulfillment centers, data centers, offices, and physical retail locations more sustainable.”

2 Days After Pledging Shelter for Rich LA Libs, Biden Boots 3,000 NC Families Into Streets During Snow Storm

I’m visiting there and it is covered in snow and single digits in temperature.

With just days left in his administration, President Joe Biden is showing America he has priorities.

The wrong priorities, sure — but priorities nonetheless.

Take the victims of the Southern California wildfires. Sure, a lot needs to be done in the area that’s been leveled by epochal blazes where the damage has been exacerbated by desperately unready public officials.

On Thursday, Biden promised to pay for 100 percent of the disaster over the next six months during a briefing from Washington.

“I told the governor and local officials, spare no expense to do what they need to do and contain these fires,” he said during remarks at the White House,  calling the fires “devastating” and “catastrophic.”

“We’re doing literally everything we can at a federal level,” he added.

They found 3 people frozen to death last week. How about helping others besides yourself in your final act as a president?

The EV Battery And LA Fires Just Released More C02 Than The Whole Country Has Since 2023

And not much will happen. C02 isn’t the real reason behind the minor climate change that occurs just like it has throughout the history of the earth.

The Lithium Battery fire

A fire at the world’s largest battery storage plant in Northern California smoldered Friday after sending plumes of toxic smoke into the atmosphere, leading to the evacuation of up to 1,500 people. The blaze also shook up the young battery storage industry.

The fire at the Vistra Energy lithium battery plant in Moss Landing generated huge flames and significant amounts of smoke Thursday but had diminished significantly by Friday, Fire Chief Joel Mendoza of the North County Fire Protection District of Monterey County said. Vistra is based in Texas.

“There’s very little, if any, of a plume emitting from that building,” Mendoza said. Crews are not engaging with the fire and are waiting for it to burn out, he said. Letting lithium ion battery fires burn out is not unusual because they burn very hot and are hard to put out.

No injuries have been reported but residents raised concerns about hazardous gases being released into the air.

The LA Fires

The state’s record-breaking 2020 fire season, which saw more than 4 million acres burn, spewed almost twice the tonnage of greenhouse gases as the total amount of carbon dioxide reductions made since 2003, according to a study published recently in the journal Environmental Pollution.

Researchers estimated that about 127 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent were released by the fires, compared with about 65 million metric tons of reductions achieved in the previous 18 years.

“When we look at the contribution of the 2020 wildfires, it becomes almost like a new sector of emissions in the economy,” said Michael Jerrett, a professor of environmental health sciences at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and a lead author of the research. “Really, we’re about double the reductions.”

Zuckerberg Blames Sheryl Sanberg For Meta’s DEI Bias

DEI favors some groups over others, be it because of either social pressure or Corporate lending practices (Blackrock).

Zuckerberg is cleaning house, and eliminating the “inclusive” culture that Sheryl Sanberg brought in. Inclusive meaning hiring certain groups based on gender or race.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly trash-talked his former top lieutenant Sheryl Sandberg during his visit to Mar-a-Lago, blaming her for implementing controversial DEI initiatives at Facebook that “encouraged employees’ self-expression in the workplace.”

Zuckerberg, who has drawn criticism for cozying up to the new administration, made the comment during a sit-down with President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers at his Florida retreat shortly after the Republican’s historic election victory in November, according to the New York Times.

The discussions on Nov. 27 — which included Stephen Miller, who will take over as White House deputy chief of staff — covered a range of hot-button topics such as the administration’s expected crackdown on immigration, and diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the Times reported.

Miller told Zuckerberg that the billionaire mogul had “an opportunity to help reform America, but it would be on Trump’s terms,” according to the Times.

Five Catholic college students have been charged with luring a 22-year-old soldier before they falsely accused him of being a pedophile as part of ‘Catch a Predator’ TikTok trend.

Assumption University students Kelsy Brainard, 18, Easton Randall, 19, Kevin Carroll, 18, Isabella Trudeau, 18, and Joaquin Smith, 18, appeared in Massachusetts court on Thursday and pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and kidnapping charges.

A sixth defendant was separately arraigned in juvenile court because they are underage. 

Brainard is also charged with witness intimidation. Carroll was charged with assault and battery after he reportedly admitted to slamming the victim’s head in the car door.

Prosecutors say Brainard met the man on Tinder, told him she was 18, and invited him to the Catholic school in Worcester on October 1 so they could ‘try and hook up.’

The alleged victim, a 22-year-old active-duty military service member, said he was in town for his grandmother’s funeral and went on Tinder because he ‘just wanted to be around people that were happy.’

BWBB – LA Mayor Karen Bass handed out rich city contracts, forcing drastic cuts to fire department months before deadly wildfires: records

Los Angeles was forced to slash funding for the fire department after Mayor Karen Bass awarded gilded contracts to city workers, a review of public records shows.

The trouble began early last year after Bass settled contract negotiations with public sector unions. In dozens of agreements, the city’s civilian employees pocketed 20 to 25 percent wage hikes over five years and other goodies that cost the city $4.5 billion over the life of the contracts, according to an analysis by the city’s administrative officer, the City Journal reported.

A series of unintended payouts stemming from judgments against the city in personal injury lawsuits brought Los Angeles to the brink.

50 years of “friendship” gets sacrificed to win an election. Screw whoever you have to run over to get there. These are some of the most shallow and morally vapid people in America. That’s what politics does to some. They are the backstabbers

The Bidens appear dug in as they prepare to leave the White House Monday.

Joe Biden said in a recent exit interview that he was confident he could have beaten Donald Trump if he stayed in the race despite widespread polling — including private Democratic polling — that suggested a massive defeat.

Now, the outgoing first lady suggested in a separate interview she’s still harboring a grudge against longtime friend Nancy Pelosi, who helped lead the charge to pressure the Democratic incumbent to step aside after his disastrous debate performance against Trump.

From The Washington Post’s Kara Voght:

“Like I said,” Jill says now, seated in the Green Room of the White House on the first Sunday of January, “I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships.”

Her face, nearly pearlescent with a lustrous foundation, betrays no particular emotion. She’s holding a china cup.

Tea. With honey and lemon.

“It’s been on my mind a lot lately, and — “

Jill pauses.

“We were friends for 50 years.” She is using her teacher’s voice now. “It was disappointing.”

Joe Biden told USA Today in an exclusive sit-down interview that he believed he could have won another four years in the White House if he stayed in the race and didn’t bow out and endorse his vice president, Kamala Harris. He cited his internal polling at the time, but didn’t mention public polling that showed Trump trouncing the incumbent and signs that Republicans could make gains in other races due to Biden’s unfavorable numbers

Longtime Republican turned never-Trumper Sarah Longwell scoffed at the idea Biden could have won.

“Kamala Harris saved his a– from getting absolutely annihilated and, also, taking many more senators and many more house members down with him,” Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, said on “The Next Level” podcast.

Another Peace Treaty With Hamas, Until The Next Attack

They sneak attack, rape, kill, then run like rabbits begging for a cease-fire. Rinse and repeat.

The ever-clueless Antony Blinken explains the prospective Israel-Hamas deal:

Gaza faces a perpetual war if Israel and Hamas do not sign a hostage deal to end the conflict, the US warned last night.

Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, said Washington estimated that Hamas had recruited almost as many new members as it had lost during the war against Israel so far.

There is no possible way that is true. Given Gaza’s history as a military state, I doubt that there were a lot of young men who were not already part of Gaza’s war effort. And assuming there were some, I don’t know how such recruitment could have been carried out while Israel has occupied most of Gaza, and certainly has prevented any substantial gatherings of military trainees.

But if it were true that Hamas has as many terrorists today as it did before October 7, the lesson would be that the war is nowhere near over, and Israel must press on until this new complement of soldiers are all dead.

“Each time Israel completes its military operations and pulls back Hamas, militants regroup and re-emerge because there’s nothing else to fill the void.

“Indeed, we assess that Hamas has recruited almost as many new militants as it has lost,” Mr Blinken said in a speech at the Atlantic Council on Tuesday.

“That is a recipe for an enduring insurgency and perpetual war,” he added.

In other words, the war can’t be won, and Israel might as well give up. In reality, war is “perpetual” until one side accepts that it has lost. Apparently that hasn’t happened yet. So, what comes next?

According to Mr Blinken, an interim security mission, composed of military personnel from nations allied with the US and carefully screened Palestinian personnel, would be established. This is likely to be made up of forces from Arab countries close to the US.

An interim government will be established made up of representatives from Gaza and the Palestinian Authority, which will oversee the civil affairs such as the economy, education and health.

The international system will provide support to the interim government financially and technically while a UN official will be appointed to oversee reconstruction of Gaza.

Schumer, Biden And How The Deep State Failed On Terrorism

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) said during an interview on Sunday that then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did not allow Republicans to be briefed on the terrorist threats facing the United States last year because he did not want the information to leak and damage Vice President Kamala Harris during the elections.

Britt made the remarks during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” when asked about the subject that Republicans repeatedly brought up to Schumer last year. The topic comes two weeks after a terrorist killed more than a dozen people in New Orleans on New Year’s Day.

Britt said that she was extremely concerned about the potential for future terrorist attacks in the U.S.

“When you rewind to where this came from, in my opinion, this is a direct result of Biden’s failed policies across the world,” she said. “When you look at the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, we know that that created a vacuum. It created a vacuum that allowed ISIS-K to continue to flourish.”

“Our conversations surrounding that and our request of Senator Schumer was, make sure that we understand this, so that we can do everything that we need to,” she continued. “This is also right after Director Wray said that he saw blinking lights everywhere he turned.”
