Well, Denny would have some special language for this group of dickheads
The whole Democratic Congress in Texas left the state and went to stay with Pritzker in Illinois instead of voting on the redistricting, which they will lose. I heard they are sending the FBI to arrest them and bring them back. Seeing is believing.
Go back to Texas and do your job.
For that, they are the assholes of the week
This is posted at the same time as the post about Americans refusing the jab because they know it’s dangerous and it doesn’t work. I did it on purpose so read both.
Just so you know that the CDC is a bunch of CSMF who don’t have your health in their best interest. Here’s your tip of the day, keep the government out of your medical life as much as possible.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is insisting people take MORE COVID shots this year, despite a long list of serious side effects that include cardiac arrest – or death.
The shots were introduced during the pandemic several years ago that circled the globe and killed millions.
They all were introduced under an “experimental” label as manufacturers wanted to start selling them before the ordinary testing procedures were done.
The medical establishment, including such high-profile personalities like Anthony Fauci, the adviser to Joe Biden on COVID who once insisted that arguing with him was arguing with “the science,” publicly rejected existing treatments that could, and did, help some people, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, because for the experimental products to be used there was a requirement that other treatments not be available.
Now comes this year’s advisory in which the CDC repeatedly demands people get the shots, without a single word about the potentially lethal side effects.
There’s more here if you care. I just do the opposite of what they recommend now and feel much safer.
Treason isn’t always a single, dramatic act. Sometimes, it’s a slow-acting poison, administered over years to weaken a nation from within.
Barack Obama didn’t just sell secrets; he sold out America’s future, its power, and its pride, one “fundamental transformation” at a time.
He was a traitor in plain sight.
This thread is the toxicology report.🧵Number five will infuriate you.
The Apology Tour. His presidency began with a global tour apologizing for American power. In Cairo, he elevated the Muslim world. In Europe, he denigrated America’s “arrogance.” He signaled to our enemies that the era of American confidence was over, inviting the chaos that followed.
The Betrayal in Benghazi. On September 11, 2012, he left four Americans, including an Ambassador, to die at the hands of terrorists in Libya. Then, he and Hillary Clinton stood over their caskets and lied to their families, blaming a YouTube video to protect his re-election campaign. It was an act of supreme and unforgivable dishonor.
The Iran Nuclear Surrender. He sent pallets of cash, in the dead of night, to the world’s leading state sponsor of terror in Iran. His “deal” did not stop their nuclear program; it funded it. He paved their path to a bomb while alienating our most critical allies in the region, like Israel.
The Syrian “Red Line” Humiliation. He drew a “red line” on Assad’s use of chemical weapons, then did nothing when Assad gassed his own people. This single act of cowardice shattered American credibility on the world stage and gave a green light to adversaries like Vladimir Putin to act with impunity.
The Bergdahl Betrayal. He traded five high-level Taliban commanders—terrorists now back on the battlefield—for Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who deserted his post. In doing so, he betrayed every soldier who risked their life searching for Bergdahl and signaled to the world that America negotiates with terrorists.
The Gutting of the U.S. Military. Through budget sequestration and a deliberate strategy of “leading from behind,” his administration hollowed out our armed forces. He shrunk the Navy, aged the Air Force, and demoralized our troops with social experimentation, leaving America weaker and more vulnerable.
Weaponizing the IRS. His IRS, under Lois Lerner, systematically targeted and persecuted conservative and Tea Party groups to silence them ahead of an election. This was a direct assault on the First Amendment, turning the most feared agency of the state against his own political citizens.
The “Fast and Furious” Scandal. His Department of Justice intentionally allowed thousands of guns to be sold to Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the murder of hundreds, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. They armed our enemies and got an American hero killed.
The Obamacare Deception. He looked the American people in the eye and repeatedly promised, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” It was a calculated, knowing lie—named “Lie of the Year”—designed to defraud the public into accepting a government takeover of their healthcare.
Spying on the Press. His DOJ secretly seized the phone records of Associated Press journalists and formally labeled Fox News reporter James Rosen a “criminal co-conspirator” to monitor his communications. When the press exposed his secrets, he treated them like spies.
The Godfather of the Russia Hoax. The entire seditious conspiracy to frame Donald Trump began in his administration. It was his FBI that launched Crossfire Hurricane. It was his DOJ that obtained the fraudulent FISA warrants. He laid the groundwork for the coup against his successor.
The War on American Energy. He used the EPA as a weapon to block pipelines, kill the coal industry, and strangle domestic oil and gas production with crushing regulations. His policies made America weaker, poorer, and more dependent on foreign dictators for our energy.
Releasing Terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. His administration released hundreds of terrorists and enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay. Unsurprisingly, a significant number returned directly to the battlefield to kill Americans and our allies. He knowingly freed our enemies.
The Shadow President. Even now, he operates a shadow government from his mansion in Washington D.C., coordinating the “resistance” and the Deep State’s war against the current Trump administration. He never relinquished power; he merely moved it into the shadows.
This is not a record of policy differences. It is a clear and undeniable pattern of action designed to weaken America’s standing, security, and sovereignty. This is the charge sheet of a man who worked against the very nation he swore an oath to protect. He must be held accountable.
Why do we want to be friends with them? Why did the Clintons and Bidens sell out to them? Money over country?
JOHANNESBURG—Chinese and Russian agents are paying social media influencers in Africa to spread anti-U.S. messages worldwide, with the Trump administration being a top target, media experts say.
Their research reveals that many influencers who use the TikTok platform are earning hundreds to thousands of dollars per month by disseminating misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda that benefits Beijing and Moscow.
The studies align with information presented to Congress on July 22 by U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S. military in Africa.
Analysts say China, Russia, and other malign actors are taking advantage of an information void created by the White House’s decision to cut financial aid to Africa, which has impacted the funding of media previously supported by the U.S. government.
In 2024, the Washington-based Africa Center for Strategic Studies documented nearly 200 pro-Kremlin and pro-China social media campaigns in each major region of Africa, with the Chinese regime’s influencers particularly active in Southern and West Africa.
One of Africa’s most popular social media figures has told The Epoch Times she’s receiving money to distribute information that makes Russia and China “happy.”
“This is mostly messages about Trump,” she said, asking that her name be withheld so that she didn’t “anger” her employers and lose income.
She said influencers working for Moscow and Beijing receive payments online via sites that facilitate paid promotions, with South Africa’s Lit marketplace one of the more popular systems.
“The money we’re making like this can be a few thousand dollars every month; it all depends on how popular our posts turn out,” she said.
A Chinese guy I worked with said to never trust the Chinese. The first rule of doing business is don’t use the 10 commandments (that’s right, lie, cheat, steal, murder others and try to get God out of the country)
Those bastards are sending fentanyl to the US, spying on us, disrupting out power grid, flying balloons over us and buying our politicians.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has an initiative called the Theory of Mind program. This effort is designed to give national security decision-makers the ability to model, simulate, and ultimately anticipate the intentions and behaviors of adversaries using a combination of advanced algorithms and human expertise.
At its core, the program aims to:
The promise is profound: a system that doesn’t just predict what an adversary might do, but actively guides policymakers toward courses of action that shape the adversary’s decision calculus—minimizing escalation and maximizing U.S. strategic advantage.
DARPA’s Theory of Mind program fundamentally changes how conflicts are managed. Decision-makers can run gaming scenarios at unprecedented detail and speed, customizing incentives or deterrents tailored to both cultural and individual psychologies. Risks of unintended escalation might be sharply reduced, while opportunities to “push the line” without crossing it become clearer.
The same tools originally designed for military use were later deployed against the American (and global) public in 2020
AI-powered behavioral analytics, inspired by military-grade “theory of mind” models, were strategically employed during the COVID-19 pandemic to not just inform but actively shape public perception, sentiment, and compliance—creating a continuous feedback loop between government actions and public psychology. These systems quietly moved the world’s response from reactive to adaptive, fundamentally influencing how populations experienced and responded to the scamdemic.
1. Real-Time Sentiment Analysis and Information Targeting AI-powered platforms actively monitored social media, news, and digital conversations to track shifts in public mood, anxieties, and resistance to emerging health policies. These tools analyzed tone, emotional context, and response patterns following government announcements, often providing immediate feedback to policymakers on how their messaging was being received.
2. Tailored Messaging and Adaptive Communication Insights from these platforms allowed authorities to:
3. Behavioral Nudges and Targeted Interventions. Governments, aided by behavioral insights teams and AI analysts, designed “nudge” interventions—such as targeted text reminders, default scheduling of vaccine appointments, and personalized risk feedback—to increase uptake of desired behaviors. Rapid A/B testing determined which messages or policy tweaks worked best for specific populations.
4. Feedback Loops for Policy Calibration. Behavioral and sentiment data were continuously fed back into policy decision-making. If public adherence waned or opposition spiked (visible through sentiment tracking), messaging and interventions could be swiftly recalibrated to regain support or mitigate disinformation spikes.
5. Data-Driven Misinformation Management. AI-driven platforms scanned for and flagged viral misinformation. Rapid response teams could then deploy counter-messaging or media campaigns—often through the same platforms—using knowledge of which narratives resonated with hesitant demographics.
And was arrogant about it and stepped on people’s lives. He lied skillfully, freely and with impunity.
One of the many deceitful operatives in the Obama administration was Ben Rhodes, the obedient teller of lies. He knew they were creating a hoax, though he denies it, and still he wrote this tweet. The depth of deceit gives one the creeps.
Rhodes was the former Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama. Every lie he told was approved by Obama. Rhodes was his dutiful scribe.
Progressive politics may promise empowerment, but for many liberal women, the result appears to be rising misery and isolation.
A growing body of data points to a clear trend: liberal women are statistically the most dissatisfied and mentally unwell demographic in the country, and experts say it may have more to do with worldview than circumstance.
According to a 2024 survey from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), just 12% of liberal women aged 18-40 report being “completely satisfied” with their lives.
In contrast, 37% of conservative women in the same age group report full satisfaction, a difference that speaks volumes.
The findings come from the 2024 American Family Survey, which also shows that liberal women are two to three times more likely to say they are “not satisfied” with their lives.
Marriage and faith, two traditional anchors of community and stability, may play a key role in the satisfaction divide.
56% of conservative women in the study are married, while only 37% of liberal women are.
Church attendance reflects a similar gap: 53% of conservative women attend religious services weekly, compared to just 12% of liberal women.
That detachment from relational and spiritual communities may be fueling widespread loneliness.
Nearly 30% of liberal women report frequent loneliness, while only 11% of conservatives say the same.
“These women are lacking key support systems that help weather life’s inevitable challenges,” said Brad Wilcox, a senior fellow at IFS.
“We’ve seen in the research that conservative women tend to be more likely to embrace a sense of agency and to have the sense that they are not, in any way, the victim of larger structural realities or forces.
“They’re also less likely to catastrophize about public events and concerns and more likely to think of themselves as captains of their own fate.”
worst of all, they can be counted on as a liberal voting block. Few groups have tried to ruin our country as viligently as them
Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark is clearly the face of the WNBA, there’s no doubt about that. But you know how a lot of people are today, they’ll just hate and lie like it’s nothing. But Clark’s teammate and unofficial bodyguard Sophie Cunningham, she isn’t playing that, taking to her “Show Me Something” podcast to clap back at haters who say Clark isn’t the face of the league.
It was announced Wednesday that Cunningham inked a contract with Colin’ Cowherd’s “The Volume” podcast company to launch her own, which was followed by her first episode later on in the day. And she got things off to an absolute bang!
of course she is the face of the league. It’s just that she’s white and straight. That doesn’t work for the WNBA
When are these girls going to stop self destructing?
n brief, the Trump administration is seeking to free the American people from the shackles of the cult of climate alarmism. Zeldin’s tactic is not to argue the science, which is unsettled, but to challenge the EPA’s authority to classify GHGs as “pollutants” and then, in turn, regulate them as such.
Is climate change primarily caused by mankind? According to much of the scientific establishment, the answer to that question is an unequivocal, yes. Indeed, this view that mankind is responsible for climate change, or as it was previously called, global warming, has become climate dogma.
But as much as politicians, activists, and others claim it is “settled science,” the fact is that it is anything but settled. There remain critical questions and unknowns regarding climate science, as evidenced by repeated instances of climate change projections being proven erroneous.
Climate change has been a constant reality on planet Earth since its beginning, and its causes are not fully known or understood, despite the hubris surrounding the issue. The Earth’s climate is a complex system that scientists are still trying to understand.
Therefore, when a substance such as carbon dioxide — a naturally occurring gas that is an essential component for life on this planet — is labeled a “pollutant,” it’s understandable that some would object.
Of course, the reason carbon dioxide has been classified as such is that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased as a result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels. Scientists link higher saturation levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with greater heat-trapping effects, concluding that mankind is responsible for global warming, which they warn will have massive negative impacts on the planet should it continue unchecked. That, in a nutshell, is the “science” of anthropogenic climate change.
It is based upon this understanding, this doctrinaire belief, that lawmakers have established laws and regulations to limit fossil fuel-based carbon dioxide emissions. This has been expanded to other human activity that contributes to “greenhouse gases” (GHGs), which include methane gas (also a naturally occurring substance) and other gases.
In the 2007 case Massachusetts v. EPA, the Supreme Court considered the issue of whether the Environmental Protection Agency could regulate GHGs under the Clean Air Act. The Court ruled 5-4 that “greenhouse gases fit well within the Act’s capacious definition of ‘air pollutant,’” meaning the “EPA has statutory authority to regulate emission of such gases.” Tellingly, the Court noted that “policy judgments have nothing to do with whether greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change and do not amount to a reasoned justification for declining to form a scientific judgment.” Instead, the Court said that the EPA had the authority to determine whether GHGs “cause or contribute to air pollution which may be reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, or whether the science is too uncertain to make a reasoned decision.” This has been referred to as the EPA’s endangerment finding.
The focus in the case was the EPA’s authority to regulate vehicle emissions, but the ruling has been applied much more broadly to effectively encompass any industry that produces GHG emissions.
Of course, the auto industry has been most directly impacted by the Court’s ruling, as the EPA introduced a slew of regulations that have significantly increased the cost of cars. Furthermore, the Biden administration sought to use the EPA’s GHG regulatory power to effectively force automakers into adopting and scaling up production of electric vehicles with the eventual goal of eliminating gas-powered cars entirely. Included in Joe Biden’s erroneously named Inflation Reduction Act, which passed in 2022, was a clause that specifically classified carbon dioxide and other GHGs as “pollutants” regulated by the EPA.
Now, President Donald Trump is pursuing a pro-growth, pro-energy agenda, and his administration has been working to eliminate many of the hurdles to economic growth that the Democrat administrations of both Barack Obama and Biden put in place.
With Trump successfully securing favorable trade deals across the globe, one of the biggest industries that will benefit from these deals is the American auto industry. And the last thing the auto industry needs is GHG emission regulations that hamper growth.
Thus, in March, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin rolled out a deregulation agenda wherein he promised to drive “a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more.”
Shocking footage has emerged online showing a deranged Islamist threatening to blow up a plane and threatening President Trump before passengers manage to save the day.
On Sunday, an EasyJet flight to Glasgow, Scotland, from Luton, England, was diverted after a passenger threatened to blow up the plane. As TGP readers know, Trump is currently in Scotland for trade meetings and to play golf.
In the footage, a man of apparent Middle Eastern descent is seen standing in the aisle calling for Trump’s death and announcing to the world he had a bomb.
“I’m going to bomb the plane!” the madman can be heard saying in the video. “Death to America! Death to Trump!”
He proceeds to scream “Allahu Akbar!” repeatedly while raising his fist before one brave passenger springs into action to tackle him to the ground. Another man jumps up to provide assistance when the Islamist starts to resist.
“Don’t move!” he says.

flying sucks. I avoid it at all costs now
Why have there been so many air traffic control issues lately? Is it because Trump has begun to trim a little fat from the bloated federal bureaucracy, as the media would have us believe? Or is it because for 4 years the secretary of transportation was a left-wing nitwit whose only job qualification was that he is ostentatiously homosexual?
The Air Traffic Control is being run off of diskettes, Musk found that out.
The New York Post reports:
Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.
The effect of DEI on air safety is predictable.
In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.
According to Democrat ideology, transportation makes it be too hot outside by requiring energy, so why would he want to facilitate Americans having more of it?
What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years — at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show.
Again we see that the Biden Administration was not so much a government as a looting spree.
“He was definitely pushing an agenda,” an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had “little to no interest” and took “definitely zero action” toward air traffic control modernization.
Gobbling up our money on behalf of their malevolent agenda is the whole point for Democrats. That’s why their transportation secretary was not required to know anything about transportation.
As of last month, an Emerson College poll of registered voters found the former transportation secretary leading the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field with 16% support, followed by ex-Vice President Kamala Harris at 13%.
Among Democrats, this kooky and incompetent creep is a star.
DNIGabbard said on Wednesday that she was referring former President Barack Obama for criminal charges to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
“We have referred and will continue to refer all these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this,” Gabbard said.
“The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,” she continued.
“There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.”
So he was in charge of going after Trump on top of trying to ruin America, paying off terrorists in Iran and is doing a poor job of staying in the closet.
Stuff like this and the rest of the FBI story would make anyone the Asshole of the Week, but Obama was president and didn’t respect the office, the country and finally, you and me.
Democratic party that is, like take drugs and be power hungry. So she was a druggie
A newly declassified report produced in September 2020 by the House Intelligence Committee revealed that, in 2016, Russian intelligence had obtained internal Democratic National Committee emails alleging that Hillary Clinton was on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers and faced several serious illnesses as well.
According to the report:
The SVR [Russia’s foreign intelligence service] possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from “intensified psycho-emotional problems including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.” Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers” and while afraid of losing, she remained “obsessed with a thirst for power.
The report claims that former President Barack Obama and Democratic Party leaders found Clinton’s health issues to be “extraordinarily alarming.”
As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service had DNC information that President Obama and Party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be “extraordinarily alarming,” and felt it could have “serious negative impact” on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in ‘strictest secrecy’ and even close advisors were not being fully informed.
The Russians also reportedly had information that Clinton “suffered from ‘Type 2 diabetes, Ischemic heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.’”
According to Fox News, the Russians had also obtained a “campaign email discussing a plan approved by Secretary Clinton to link Putin and Russian hackers to candidate Trump in order to ‘distract the American public’ from the Clinton email server scandal.”
Gabbard discussed the report during a press briefing on Wednesday. While her main focus was on the portion that related to the Obama administration’s manipulation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election (which I reported on here), Gabbard said there were “high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary’s, quote, psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.”
As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had Democratic National Committee (DNC) information that President Obama and party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be “extraordinarily alarming” and felt it could have “serious negative impact” on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in “strictest secrecy,” and even close advisors were not being fully informed.

The SVR also had information that Clinton suffered from “Type 2 diabetes, congestive heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.”
What about this plan that they told Americans wasn’t a lie? Bet they told Congress and the Insurance companies to start the kickbacks because the money floodgates are open for good.
Medical care costs are surging already. A big leap is coming.
The Wall Street Journal reports Obamacare Insurers Seek Double-Digit Premium Hikes Next Year
If you buy your own health insurance, you are probably going to pay more next year—a lot more.
Insurers are seeking hefty 2026 rate increases for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, the coverage known as Obamacare. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois wants a 27% hike, while its sister Blue Cross plan in Texas is asking for 21%. The largest ACA plans in Washington state, Georgia and Rhode Island are all looking for premiums to surge more than 20%.
The companies say the big increases are needed because of higher healthcare costs and changing federal policy, including cuts to subsidies that help consumers pay for plans. The higher premiums would come after years of enrollment growth and mostly single-digit rate increases in the Obamacare market, where individuals and families buy insurance for themselves. About 24 million people have ACA plans.
At the request of The Wall Street Journal, the health-research nonprofit KFF analyzed the rate requests for the largest ACA plans by enrollment in 17 states where the insurers’ filings have already become public, as well as the District of Columbia. They showed that some of the biggest national ACA players, including Centene and Elevance Health, are seeking double-digit increases in several states. The Blue Cross & Blue Shield plans of Texas and Illinois are both owned by Health Care Service, a giant nonprofit.
Most Obamacare enrollees’ monthly insurance bills will go up substantially next year because of reductions in federal subsidies that help pay for their coverage. Enhanced payments passed by Congress in 2021 will lapse at the end of December. The drop-off in subsidies is both helping to drive higher premiums and making it harder for many consumers to pay them.
Some people “are going to be hit with this double whammy” of bigger monthly insurance bills and losing the subsidy that blunts their cost, said Cynthia Cox, a vice president at KFF.
In rate filings, some insurers said tariffs could add to the cost of drugs and medical supplies.
Cheated for years breaking the law, but was willing to lie and put on a show about everything from Jan 6 to Melania’s underwear in the Mar-A-Lago raid. He’s been destestable for years.
Now, maybe justice will be served to the asshole of the week, Adam Schiff.
In a shocking new development, President Donald Trump’s longtime political adversary, Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), is facing criminal prosecution after a bombshell referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) over alleged mortgage fraud spanning years.
The FHFA has formally alerted the Department of Justice (DOJ) of the evidence, triggering an investigation into Schiff’s actions following a series of mortgage-related allegations.
Schiff, who was elected to the Senate in 2024 after years of serving as a House lawmaker, is under intense scrutiny after Trump announced the charges earlier this week.
It was revealed that between 2003 and 2019, Schiff may have falsified documents related to his Maryland-based property to secure more favorable loan terms.
The property in question is located in Potomac, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C.
According to the FHFA’s referral, Schiff allegedly manipulated bank documents and property records, a clear violation of federal housing rules.
The details of the case are particularly troubling.
I thought it was another kooky celebrity uninformed weather story. When thinking through it, though, no one wants to hear an 81 year old singer that was famous 40-50 years ago
Abracadabra! Just like that, the Steve Miller Band canceled its entire 2025 North American tour.
Variety reported:
The band has canceled all 31 scheduled dates of its American tour, which was slated to begin Aug. 15 in Bethel, NY and traverse the entire country before concluding in Anaheim, Calif. on Nov. 8.
The band made the announcement in a straightforward tone familiar to fans of the 81-year-old veteran singer, songwriter and guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, whose career stretches back to the mid-1960s and has released such classic rock anthems as “The Joker,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Jet Airliner,” “Take the Money and Run” and many more.
Fans needn’t worry that the 81-year-old is suddenly facing health issues. He called off the tour due to the unacceptable risks to his audience, the band, and the crew, posed by climate change-induced extreme weather events. Here’s what Miller told fans in his announcement on X:
The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. So …
You can blame it on the weather… The tour is cancelled.
look at the X posts at the link below. It calls out the truth
Steve Miller Band Cancels US Tour Due to Climate Change-Induced Weather Risks
CNN data analyst Harry Enten recently did a segment on the issue of climate change and almost lost his mind as he reported that a majority of Americans – including Democrats – are not worried about climate change.
He cited data going back to the 1980s and pointed out that concern about this has become stagnant.
Of course, Democrats running for office will continue to push this issue. They have decades invested in climate change and it has become an industry in itself with lots of people making ridiculous amounts of money from it.
Partial transcript via RedState:
“Americans AREN’T afraid of climate change!” Enten said with shock in his voice. “Climate activists have not successfully made the case to the American people!”
The data showed that in 1989, 35 percent of those polled admitted they were greatly afraid, and those numbers have basically stayed the same, with 39 percent feeling that way in 2000, and five years later, that number sits at 40 percent.
“We went back all the way to 1989, look at that, it was 35 percent,” Enten said. “2000, 40 percent. 2020, 46 percent. And in 2025, 40 percent. Which is the exact same percentage as back in 2000.”
“Despite all of these horrible weather events, the percentage of Americans who are greatly worried about climate change has stayed pretty gosh darn consistent,” he added, sounding genuinely flabbergasted. “Which kind of boggles the mind a little bit, granted everything that we see on our television screens, our computer screens.”
“Hurricanes, tornadoes, the flooding,” Enten continued. “But yet, greatly worried about climate change, 40 percent, the exact same percentage as in 2000.”

British solar farms have been paid to switch off for the first time as sunny days prompt a surge of clean power that could overwhelm the grid.
The National Energy System Operator (Neso), which manages the UK’s power grids and is overseen by Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, has issued switch-off orders to solar facilities this year, new research reveals.
Operators are paid to switch off when these orders are issued, with the extra cost added to consumer and business energy bills.
The solar operators claiming compensation are understood to include some of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers, such as EDF Renewables and Octopus Energy.
Such “constraint payments” are already common with wind farms because so many have been built in areas such as northern Scotland or offshore, areas without grid capacity to carry the power they generate.
So far this year, constraint payments have cost consumers £650m, according to the Wasted Wind website. The cost is added to energy bills.
Overall “balancing payments” could hit £8bn a year by 2030 without massive grid upgrades, according to Neso estimates. Such upgrades would also be extremely costly, with consumers liable.

Why are thousands of Walmart workers suddenly “vanishing” all over the nation? And why are vast numbers of agricultural workers suddenly no longer showing up for work? What I am about to share with you is extremely alarming. During the “open border years”, our economy became extremely dependent on very cheap migrant labor. Now that the border has been secured and mass deportations are occurring, major employers throughout the country are experiencing a case of severe whiplash.
The open border policies of Joe Biden caused a tremendous amount of chaos from coast to coast. Violent criminals came pouring in, and we definitely need to get those violent criminals out. For example, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem just revealed that a cannibal that was being deported literally started “to eat himself” on the plane ride out of the United States…
Let us begin with a simple proposition: a nation that loses grip on historical truth will soon lose the very liberty it claims to defend. In the case of Juneteenth, the official narrative peddled by government institutions and media organs insists that June 19, 1865, marked the end of slavery in the United States. It did not. The same narrative suggests that slaves in Galveston, Texas, were ignorant of their freedom until Union General Gordon Granger arrived and read General Order No. 3 from a balcony. That too is false.
So, why the deception? Why enshrine a historical inaccuracy into federal law, complete with flags, hashtags, and official observances? The answer lies not in a celebration of liberty, but in its quiet replacement. Juneteenth, far from being a spontaneous commemoration of emancipation, is a politically engineered holiday whose true function is to decenter the Fourth of July, recast the American Founding as a fraud, and promote a new narrative steeped not in liberty, but in grievance. At bottom, Juneteenth is not about celebrating the end of slavery. It is about reinterpreting the American project itself.
As I have previously reported, President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been busy reversing all the climate cultist policies that harm this nation’s ability to serve and support its citizens.
After six months of watching Trump and various members of his team suspend and terminate federal employees, end the progressive pork distribution agency formerly known as USAID, and otherwise upend the Deep State approach to ruling over American citizens, one might think that federal employees who valued regular paychecks and good benefits would realize “Resistance 2.0” would be a failure.
However, a group of EPA employees clearly weren’t paying attention. The agency has placed 144 staffers on paid leave and launched an inquiry into their participation in signing a letter that accused the Trump administration of politicizing the agency.
The agency said its actions were warranted because the employees had signed the letter using their official titles and because the letter had denigrated the agency’s leadership.
“The Environmental Protection Agency has a zero-tolerance policy for career bureaucrats unlawfully undermining, sabotaging and undercutting the administration’s agenda as voted for by the great people of this country last November,” the E.P.A. press secretary, Brigit Hirsch, wrote in an email.
The 144 employees received emails on Thursday saying they had been placed on leave for the next two weeks “pending an administrative investigation,” according to a copy of the email reviewed by The New York Times.
“You are required to provide a current email address and phone number so that we can contact you as part of our investigation,” the email said, adding that the staff members would continue to collect paychecks while on leave.
EPA Suspends over 140 Toxic Employees Who Wrote Letter Denouncing Trump Policies
Millions of people worldwide are concerned about climate change and believe there is a climate emergency. For decades we have been told by the United Nations that Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activity are causing disastrous climate change. In 2018, a UN IPCC report even warned that ‘we have 12 years to save the Earth’, thus sending millions of people worldwide into a frenzy.
Thirty-five years ago, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the (World Meteorological Organization) WMO established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide scientific advice on the complex topic of climate change. The panel was asked to prepare, based on available scientific information, a report on all aspects relevant to climate change and its impacts and to formulate realistic response strategies. The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Governments worldwide have signed this convention, thereby, significantly impacting the lives of the people of the world.
However, many scientists dispute with the UN-promoted man-made climate change theory, and many people worldwide are confused by the subject, or are unaware of the full facts. Please allow me to provide some information you may not be aware of.

New York streets seem to be buckling under the intense heat smothering the city with dramatic photos showing a bus broken through a Long Island parking garage — and a firetruck sinking into a Manhattan street as record-setting tempts broil the Big Apple.
The first incident happened in North New Hyde Park Tuesday afternoon — where temps topped around 99 degrees Fahrenheit — as a bus turned onto the exposed top level of a parking garage, but then plunged through the roadway as the ground opened beneath it.
“With everything going on I thought Iran was here,” said garage attendant Ricky Cody, who heard a loud bang as the bus’ rear end sank into the broken blacktop.
“We got calls going ‘Oh my god, oh my god! What’s going on?’” he said. “You don’t really know. You hear a loud bang, and you don’t expect something like that to happen when the whole day cars are coming in no problem.”
The bus was left lodged in the parking lot with its front end jutting up into the air, dramatic photos show, but no passengers were on board during the accident and the driver was able to exit safely.

As well it should. I don’t know if Covid and the jab or the Climate scam was the biggest hoax of our lifetime. Both will prove them to be Government lies to launder money (most likely).
From New York to California, state renewable electrical power dreams are collapsing. Power demands soar, while the federal government cuts funding and support for wind, solar, and grid batteries. Renewables cannot provide enough power to support the artificial intelligence revolution. The Net Zero electricity transition is failing in the United States.
For the last two decades, state governments have embraced policies aimed at replacing coal and natural gas power plants with renewable sources. Twenty-three states enacted laws or executive orders to move to 100% Net Zero electricity by 2050. Onshore and offshore wind, utility-scale and rooftop solar, and grid-scale batteries were heavily promoted by states and most federal administrations.
The New York State Climate Action Scoping Plan of 2022 called for 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040. But 49.7% of the state’s electricity came from gas in 2024, up from 47.7% in 2023. A January executive order issued by President Trump halted federal leases for construction of offshore wind systems. New York, nine other east coast states, and California were counting on offshore wind in efforts to get to 100% renewable electricity, but new offshore wind projects are now halted.
Stephen A. Smith fired back at the NAACP Friday for its decision to snub President Donald Trump from its convention, breaking a 116-year tradition of inviting sitting presidents to speak.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced Monday that the sitting president is not invited to the NAACP National Convention, breaking a long-standing tradition of welcoming presidents from both parties. In a Friday episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Smith questioned the logic behind the decision and called it counterproductive to its stated mission of advocating for the disenfranchised, particularly in urban communities.
“He has been the most powerful, the most influential member of the GOP since 2015,” Smith said. “How do you refusing to invite him, ostracizing him, not wanting to hear what he has to say to you all — how does that help you? How?”
Smith was quick to say he wasn’t advocating for any kind of endorsement or camaraderie with Trump.
“Ignoring him and not even inviting him to come and speak at your convention — what’s that going to accomplish? For the first time in a 116-year history, you’re not inviting a president? Are you trying to tell me that there’s no president that has been as offensive to the NAACP as Donald Trump in 116 years?” Smith asked.
LBJ or Woodrow Wilson? They were pretty biased against blacks, way more than Trump.
In a historic snub, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that it will not be inviting President Donald Trump to its annual national convention.
The NAACP made the announcement Monday and denigrated Trump’s character in doing so.
“For 116 years, the NAACP has invited the sitting president of the United States to address the NAACP National Convention — regardless of their political party,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.
“There is a rich history of both Republicans and Democrats attending our convention — from Harry Truman to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and beyond.
Through his construction companies, I bet he’s given more blacks jobs than anyone in Congress. Discriminate based on skin color and you are a racist.
When President Trump stood before the American people and declared that he would decide how to respond to Iran “in two weeks,” it was easy to miss the sleight of hand. I certainly did. I wrote an op-ed analyzing his strategic ambiguity, wholly unaware of what was already in motion. Like a master poker player flashing indifference before revealing a royal flush, Trump’s public vagueness was not hesitation, it was deliberate misdirection. What followed was Operation Midnight Hammer, a strike of staggering precision and secrecy, unrivaled in military history.
At 10:09 PM Central Time on Friday, June 20, 2025, the first of seven B-2 Spirit bombers lifted off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Each aircraft, a flying wing of stealth and lethality, carried two pilots and two 30,000-pound GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators—the heaviest guided bombs in the US arsenal. Their target: Iran’s most fortified nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
The B-2s flew 18 hours to Iran, conducting multiple mid-air refuelings assisted by a coordinated fleet of KC-135 Stratotankers departing from Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma. At 5 PM Eastern, as the bombers approached Iranian airspace, a US Navy submarine launched more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles, saturating Iranian air defenses and critical infrastructure. By 7:05 PM, it was over. The B-2s, undetected and unchallenged, dropped 14 MOPs with pinpoint accuracy and began their journey to Guam. Iran never saw them coming.
This was not just a military operation. It was a philosophical demonstration of deterrence through dominance, an exercise in strategic elegance, and an affirmation of American sovereignty. At a time when foreign adversaries doubted the resolve of the United States, Operation Midnight Hammer answered with decisive finality. Iran’s nuclear ambitions, once a whispered inevitability, were reduced to smoldering rubble beneath mountains of reinforced concrete.

The 2020 election has always been under a cloud of suspicion, thanks in large part to the unusual circumstances of a global pandemic, which Democrats and their cohorts in the mainstream media clearly exploited to their advantage.
How else does one explain the fact that the “winning” candidate, who campaigned from his basement and was already manifestly not fit for office, was able to garner the most votes in U.S. presidential election history? It couldn’t possibly have had anything to do with the fact that millions of votes were cast via mail-in ballots, rather than people showing up at polling stations to cast their vote in person.
Of course, the mainstream media dogma on the 2020 election is that it was the “most secure in history.” Furthermore, anyone who dares to question that dogma is tarred as an “election denier” and a “threat to democracy” on par with the worst of the worst January 6 rioters.
It has become a tired, over-referenced, and fundamentally dishonest litmus test used by Leftmedia pundits and commentators designed to disparage anyone who fails to agree as some conspiracy kook.
Yet following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory last November, it may be tempting to simply drop any further debate over the 2020 election. Trump is now president again, and arguably, his time away from the office has put him in a stronger position to move forward with his agenda than he would have been if he had maintained the office in 2020.
Despite this reality, some Republican lawmakers still want answers. One of them is Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa. Grassley requested and recently received from the FBI declassified intelligence reports regarding foreign election interference efforts ahead of the 2020 election.
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, who ordered these reports declassified, they “include allegations of plans from the [Chinese Communist Party] CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots — allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public.” Patel called the reports “alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP.”
Back in the summer of 2020, the FBI was alerted to the scheme that the Chinese government was manufacturing fake driver’s licenses in a plot to cast mail-in votes in the election. This scheme was apparently later corroborated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which intercepted some 20,000 fake U.S. driver’s licenses around the time the FBI received the intelligence. Furthermore, the informant claimed the plot was intended to benefit Biden.
So, what did the FBI do with the intel? Well, to put it briefly, the Bureau gave it the Jedi mind trick treatment: “Nothing to see here; move along.”
Back to the theme of the day….protect the border and you get a better economy with less crime
Blue-collar workers have seen real wage growth of almost two percent in the first five months of President Donald Trump’s second term, the largest increase for any administration in nearly 60 years.
The 1.7% pay bump is in stark contrast to negative growth under Joe Biden, according to new data from the US Department of the Treasury.
Since Richard Nixon in 1969, Trump has been the only president to record positive growth for blue-collar workers in his first five months. He also achieved 1.3% in his first term.
Every week, Post columnist Miranda Devine sits down for exclusive and candid conversations with the most influential disruptors in Washington. Subscribe here!
The recovery from a 1.7% decline recorded in Biden’s first five months, as inflation outpaced earnings, suggests a shift in economic conditions for this financially stressed segment of the workforce.
“The only other time it’s been this high was… during President Trump’s first term,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told me on the latest episode of the “Pod Force One” podcast, out Wednesday.
“We’ve seen real wages for hourly workers, non-supervisory workers, rise almost 2% in the first five months. … No president has done that before.”
Falling inflation has driven the significant improvement in blue-collar wages, lifting workers’ take-home pay and living standards.
Bessent says wage growth is also fueled by the president’s “emphasis on manufacturing” and commitment to remove illegal migrants from the workforce.
“Biden opened the border, and it was flooded,” said Bessent. “And for working Americans, that’s a disaster because it’s pressure on their wages.”

Is Juneteenth being swallowed up – and swept away – by the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement? The nation’s newest federal holiday was meant to be a celebration of the end of slavery in America. It was never an LGBTQ holiday or general celebration of “marginalized communities.” Yet it seems some are trying to co-opt it – or culturally appropriate it, one might say – into the broader movement. As the tide of public and political opinion turns against DEI, however, will Juneteenth find itself washed away as well?
Officially, not many give a shit about this day. It’s as made up as Earth Day and some other non-essential holidays that interrupt our lives. I include Valentines Day as that is just for females really.
It was a bunch of pussies who bowed at the alter of diversity and made it up.
Today’s theme on this blog, the correlation between crime (especially murder although it’s rape int Europe) and illegals who have invaded your country.
Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000.
The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens.
According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer. “I’m gonna let you, the agents, the police officers, the sheriffs, go out there and do the work you so badly want to do. And I’m gonna give you the resources you need to do it. And I’m gonna take away the politicization and weaponization … and that’s what we’ve done.”
Instead of placing a third of FBI agents in the D.C. area, Patel has moved them out across the country to where the crime is occurring. A recent Biden administration document that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified shows that law enforcement resources were being spent on “non-criminal” activities of conservative Catholics, people attending school board meetings, and flagging those who used symbols like “2A” and imagery referencing the Second Amendment. The FBI sent a memo to over 1,000 employees nationwide instructing them to target conservative Catholics.
It’s a farce of a holiday anyway. It’s one that democrats made up to make themselves feel better as 100% of the slave owners were democrats.
A growing number of Juneteenth events across the U.S. are being scaled back or canceled as local governments and companies retreat from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives—a broader trend that critics say reflects growing public fatigue with corporate activism.
In Denver, one of the country’s largest Juneteenth celebrations was forced to slash its programming after more than a dozen corporate sponsors pulled out. Norman Harris, executive director of the Juneteenth Music Festival, said:
“There were quite a few sponsors who pulled back their investments or let us know they couldn’t or wouldn’t be in a position to support this year,” said Harris, who has overseen the event for more than a decade.
The two-day event in the city’s historic Five Points neighborhood was cut to just one day. Harris added:
“Thankfully, there was a wide range of support that came when we made the announcement that the celebration is in jeopardy.”
It’s not just Denver. In West Virginia, Juneteenth events were canceled altogether, with the governor’s office citing financial strain. The announcement followed Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s signing of legislation to eliminate all DEI programs statewide. His office said:
“Due to the continued fiscal challenges facing West Virginia, state government will not be sponsoring any formal activities,” deputy press secretary Drew Galang said in an email.
Juneteenth Celebrations Cut as DEI Funding Collapses
When no one cares, things don’t happen.
A key plank of the globalist agenda is rooted in Malthusian climate alarmism. This pseudo-scientific hobgoblin has long served as a cudgel to demonise fossil fuels and impose a vision of ‘Net Zero’ that prioritises ideological certainty over pragmatic trade-offs in energy policy. The Trump administration’s aggressive actions against Harvard’s politicised administration include freezing $3 billion in federal grants, revoking Harvard’s ability to enrol international students and threatening its tax-exempt status.
This may, as a welcome collateral effect, disrupt the university’s key role in the Church of Climate, forcing it to align instead with the Trumpian vision of American energy dominance and a rejection of the constraints of the Paris Agreement. The Trump-Harvard standoff could mark a turning point in dismantling the climate-industrial complex’s grip on academia.
By granting intellectual heft to NGO activism, Harvard acts as the ‘Jesuit front’ to the Church of Climate. Like the Jesuits who furthered the Catholic Church’s cause in education and missionary work, Harvard’s professoriate leads the ‘climate crisis’, propagating the faith far and wide in the West and the developing world.

Why we never want socialized medicine or the Government in our healthcare system.
My Wife’s Danish relatives love to say how their medical (among other things) is free. Well, it sucks. Every one of her relatives that had a procedure had it fucked up. They also had to wait 6 months to get anything done. They also pay 70% taxes to get the free medical care that sucks.
This one is about England, but socialized medicine is no good for anyone. They still haven’t repealed the ACA so our medical system is about as operative as the FAA right now. The US doctors are way better though.
An English professional boxer with a promising career ahead of her has tragically passed away, revealing the horror that is socialized medicine.
On May 22, the International Boxing Association issued a news release announcing that Georgia Cardinali, formerly known as Georgia O’Connor, had passed away at 25. She had been diagnosed with cancer in January, after seeking treatment for severe symptoms since October.
According to MMA Mania, Cardinali turned pro in 2021 after winning a gold medal at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games and a silver medal at the Youth World Championships that same year.
She was the youngest boxer ever to join the British team when she was 16.
She went on to compile a 3-0 professional record.
On May 9, just weeks before her death, she married her boyfriend, Adriano Cardinali.
News of her death is heartbreaking on its own, as this young athlete had everything to achieve in the sport, but her story is both devastating and infuriating when examined in the broader context of England’s socialized medicine program, the National Health Service.
On Jan. 31, Cardinali made a lengthy Facebook post, detailing how her doctors failed her in not diagnosing her cancer sooner, despite many warning signs and high risk factors.
Iran Purchases Enough Fuel Materials From China For Up To 800 Ballistic Missiles
This week a report in The Wall Street Journal said Iran ordered large quantities of ammonium perchlorate—a key component for solid-fuel ballistic missiles—from China, despite the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile program being under Western scrutiny amid ongoing sensitive nuclear negotiations with the US.
The material could be used to produce up to 800 missiles and was placed by Pishgaman Tejarat Rafi Novin Co. from Lion Commodities Holdings Ltd. in Hong Kong. The report indicated the parts are to arrive in the coming months.
The WSJ raises the likelihood that some or much of the material could be transferred to Iran-backed proxy groups in the Mideast region, foremost among them Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who have been launching repeat ballistic missile attacks directly on Israel, even threatening cities as far away as Tel Aviv.
The deal with the Chinese company was likely finalized before Trump’s offer to restart nuclear talks, which was kick-started in March.
China’s Foreign Ministry has rejected the allegations, or is at least saying China is not aware of the transfer.
“The Chinese side has always exercised strict control over dual-use items in accordance with China’s export control laws and regulations and its international obligations,” a spokesperson said.
According to background from the WSJ report:
Iran has been looking for ways to rebuild its so-called Axis of Resistance network of militias after Israel pummeled Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza and the Assad regime fell in Syria. U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Houthis damaged the group’s capabilities, though they still threaten Israel.
Iran recently transferred ballistic missiles to Shia militia groups in Iraq, who could target Israel and U.S. forces in the region they have previously attacked, the people confirmed. The missile transfers were previously reported by the Times of London.
The Trump Administration is tightening up visa requirements for Chinese communists who come to the USA for training at Harvard — and none too soon:
For decades, the [Chinese Communist Party] has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country. …
Harvard enjoys a sterling reputation among Chinese officials thanks to its record in training highflying bureaucrats who went on to take senior government roles and, in some cases, join the party’s elite Politburo.
The ChiComs are open about their close relationship with likeminded Harvard:
“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” said a 2014 commentary published by Shanghai Observer, an online platform run by the city’s main party newspaper.
The current regime in China is continuous with Mao Zedong’s, which killed over 70 million of its own people in peacetime. Xi Jinping seeks to displace the USA as the world’s dominant superpower so as to expand communist tyranny.
Xi sent his own daughter to Harvard. He isn’t worried that students will be exposed to dangerous Western ideas about freedom and property rights — not at the leftist school that FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) ranked dead last in the country for free speech, scoring 0 out of 100:
What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.
The Wall Street Journal’s Gerry Baker emerges from a fog of TDS to praise Trump for declaring the party over:
The United States Department of Education (DOE) determined that Columbia University has violated a federal civil rights law, the DOE said Wednesday in a press release.
The notification comes after the DOE opened an investigation into the University in February.
“The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission,” the release said.
Colleges without federal accreditation lose access to federal student aid, preventing millions of prospective and current students from getting the financial help they may need in order to be able to afford attendance.
Without accreditation, Columbia could also lose some of its respectability as an Ivy League university, potentially impacting enrollment and application numbers if the school cannot meet the standards for accreditation.

It only took one day after former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre left the Democrat party for anonymous Biden staffers to stab her in the back.
According to Axios‘ Alex Thompson, “Many of her former colleagues think Jean-Pierre — the face of the White House for more than two years — was part of the problem.”
And while Thompson’s book about the coverup of Biden’s cognitive decline only mentions her twice (great reporting Alex!), many former Biden aides “quietly had fumed for years, believing she was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden.”
Thompson reports – just not in his book about this exact thing – that Jean-Pierre was a ‘key part of the effort to conceal Biden’s decline, vouching for his fitness and insisting the president, then 81, was “as sharp as ever” even after last June’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump.’
Jean-Pierre announced in her new book, Independent, that she was leaving the Democrat party and switching her affiliation to independent after working in two Democratic administrations.
“At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically.”
And the knives came out immediately…
One former Biden official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Thompson that she “was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with. … She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.”
“She didn’t know how to manage a team, didn’t know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved,” the person said.
Another former Biden communications official went further – saying “The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power — which … bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name — but have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate … It’s difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab,” referring to Jean-Pierre’s new book.
They say the first step in addiction recovery is admitting a problem—but typically only after the patient reaches rock bottom. Relations between Harvard and the Trump administration have hit rock bottom over Harvard’s addictions to the liberal bubble of woke ideology; to marginalizing conservative students, speakers, and professors; and to its appeasement of antisemitism.
Harvard President Alan Garber finally admits that lack of conservative views on campus is a “problem.” As a Harvard grad, I hope this delayed but true acknowledgment isn’t too little too late. Harvard’s reformation process so far is mixed.
On the negative side of Harvard’s ledger, one need look only so far as last month’s 374th commencement, as reported by the 1636 Forum newsletter. (Harvard was founded in 1636 to train clergy in effective spiritual shepherding—how far it strayed!)
more here, but Harvard hasn’t been doing very well lately.
And by that, I don’t mean Toga Party.
Harvard might be a mere pipe dream for most American college-hunting brainiacs, but for “so many Chinese communist officials” it rates as their top “party school,” The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
Not only has Chinese President Xi Jinping’s own daughter been a student at Harvard, but a former vice president and Xi’s top negotiator with the first Trump administration studied there as leaders in China see Harvard education as a path to Chinese Communist Party positions.
And it is not a new thing.
“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” a 2014 Shanghai Observer online commentary piece read.
President Donald Trump sought to change the paradigm with China during his first administration just months before the COVID-19 pandemic exploded around the world.
Now, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are seeking to curb the stocking of America’s chief economic, if not military, rival with the state-of-the-world education, monitoring foreign student visas and putting new ones on hold to establish extreme vetting measures for students flooding to Harvard who might be seeking to work against American interests.
Rubio announced Wednesday the effort to “aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”
The move has Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning saying Chinese students have the rights of Americans, despite merely being permitted foreign student visa holders, saying Rubio’s move “seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students.”
Rubio says foreign visa holders have the privilege, not the right, to be in the U.S.
Trump now wants to cut Harvard’s estimated foreign student visa base in half, down to 15% to make sure those attended from foreign rivals like China “are people that can love our country.”
“I think Harvard has to get a kick in the rear end,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax‘s “Saturday Agenda.” “It’s not going to do it by itself. The president of Harvard would like to do the right thing, and he’s a very decent man.
“But there are too many radical left-wing faculty members that are Marxists and that are antisemites and that are anti-American and anti-Christian and want to see Harvard become the kind of woke institution that turns out the kinds of political leaders that they would like to see dominate the country.”
While Harvard is the Chinese Communist Party school of choice, this China education train is not exclusive. It extends to Biden’s alma mater at Syracuse University, too.
Syracuse offers executive training for Chinese officials and since the early 2000s its Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs has helped set up programs at Chinese universities.
Harvard’s China focus began in the 1980s, but it ramped up under former President Bill Clinton in the late ’90s, leading to the “China’s Leaders in Development” program to “help prepare senior local and central Chinese government officials to more effectively address the ongoing challenges of China’s national reforms,” according to the report.
I already gave up on the flu shot after the Covid lies. They didn’t get me on that one either. I wonder how much longer we can go to avoid people who are purposely trying to hurt you.
Hippocrates, are you there?
Alex Jones discusses Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s bombshell release exposing how the Biden administration secretly labeled millions of lockdown and mandate skeptics as “domestic violent extremists,” and breaks down how the FDA has long been aware of flu shot deaths.
The brazen anti-Americanism replete within The New York Times has become so in-your-face you can smell it like someone with a halitosis condition yawning within a few centimeters of your nose at a bus stop. How the trash newspaper tried to give new meaning to the idea of Memorial Day in its print edition is no exception.
The May 26 print edition of The Times featured no mention of Memorial Day or the numerous U.S. service men and women who died in the armed forces at all on its front page. In fact, one of the top so-called stories it chose to feature instead was teaming with anti-police, race-hustling agitprop: “Rise in Killings By Police Dims Floyd’s Legacy.”
Yes, this allegedly prestigious paper actually chose to elevate the memory of a violent convict charged with numerous drug and theft offenses to attack the police writ large rather than honoring the memories of dead soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country. One of Floyd’s most egregious crimes involved an aggravated robbery incident where he pressed a pistol against a woman’s abdomen while searching for items to steal in her apartment.
Did The Times bother mentioning any of this context when they chose to re-canonize Floyd in its racial propaganda written by three reporters? Nope. Instead, five years after the killing that sparked the racial unrest that dominated America’s streets amidst the violent Marxist Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, The Times is still so obsessed with Floyd that it is willing to give him “Memorial Day” precedence just so it can continue its pathetic trend of dunking on law enforcement.

Speaking Tuesday night on NewsNation’s On Balance, Original Sin co-author and Axios reporter Alex Thompson told host Leland Vittert that, in his reporting for this bestselling book about the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden and its cover-up, one Biden administration source remarked to him they were shocked how compliant the press were of their lies about Biden’s mental state.
Thompson revealed this in response to a question from Vittert if “people in his inner circle…were…surprised by how complicit the media” were in this cover-up.
For most of us, we could see Biden was just a prop and clearly had medical issues
This woman is either stage trained or out of her freakin’ mind to act like this.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a member of the party of Slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK, and Black Lives Matter rioters, this week accused Republicans of “domestic terrorism” and being aligned with the KKK.
In a Tuesday appearance on the “American Fever Dream” podcast, Crockett went on an unhinged race tirade, which aptly showed her lack of knowledge of American history.
The far-left lawmaker, seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, is known for her unhinged race-baiting outbursts and calls for violence against conservatives.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, during a commencement address at Tougaloo College, a historically black college in Jackson, Mississippi, Crockett recently encouraged young college graduates to use folding chairs to assault “people that tell you that you don’t belong.”

Well, that didn’t last long. The Democrats want to dump Hogg, Vice Chairman of the DNC. How are they dumb enough to make him Vice Chairman to begin with?
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk on Monday criticized Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg’s suggestion that young men could be wooed back to his party if it allows them to prioritize having sex and “fun.”
“Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun,” Hogg said on “Real Time With Bill Maher” Friday. Kirk, on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” said Hogg’s comments were “nihilist” and “dismissive” as young men have much deeper concerns.
He’s gone nowhere fast. He was on the take for money the whole time.
Authorities are beginning to recognize a phenomenon I have been documenting for years, namely the threat to Democracy posed by ELFs – Educated Liberal Females. During the George Floyd riots, ELFs comprised the clear majority of protesters, but males dominated the shock troops, the ones willing to confront the police and risk arrest.
A Fox News headline from Friday suggests our historically docile ELFs may be juicing up on steroids: “Mostly women arrested in Columbia University library takeover: NYPD.” As Fox reported, “In total, the NYPD made 80 arrests – 19 males and 61 females, according to a source. A source also said at least 50 of the 80 protesters arrested were Columbia University students.”
According to witnesses, the protesters climbed on desks and chanted “Free Palestine.” They renamed – at least for one brief whiny moment – the Butler Library “Basel Al-Araj Popular University” and demanded that Columbia University divest from Israel. In the course of storming building, they injured two campus police and two NYPD officers.
It figures that it’s liberal women. They are the 5th column of our country anyway
“It was the fourth highest month for private payroll growth in the past two years,” she continued. “9,000 manufacturing jobs have been added to the economy already! This is a sharp contrast to the 6,000 manufacturing jobs that were lost each month in the final two years of the Biden administration.”
The inflation picture has also improved dramatically. The latest report showed the first consumer price decline since the COVID pandemic, driven by decreasing energy prices and real wage growth. Current inflation sits at 2.4%, significantly lower than the previous administration’s peak of nine percent.
Investment figures are equally impressive. The administration has secured $5.2 trillion in domestic and foreign investments since January. Major players like Apple, NVIDIA, Softbank, Oracle, and OpenAI are leading the charge. Notable among these is a historic $500 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure project involving Softbank, Oracle, and OpenAI.
Recommended: Maybe Trump Does Deserve a Third Term
Private sector investments in the U.S. have topped $1.8 trillion, with major contributions from the pharmaceutical and energy industries. Hyundai alone has pledged $21 billion, projected to create around 100,000 jobs. Since President Donald Trump took office, foreign investments have surged past $3.3 trillion—over half the total—driven by countries like the UAE, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and India.
Bessent outlined new initiatives to boost domestic manufacturing, announcing full cost expensing for companies relocating factories to the U.S. “You can fully expense the equipment and the building,” he explained, adding that this would be coupled with “deregulation, cheap energy, and regulatory certainty.”
Afghanistan has again become a “terrorist haven” harboring Al Qaeda followers after former President Joe Biden allowed American weapons and funds to fall into the Taliban’s hands in 2021, a new report finds.
The Taliban regime made $3.4 billion in revenue since March 2024 and March 2025 and is allowing Al Qaeda “affiliates” to arm themselves, the U.S. government’s Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reported April 30. Decades after the U.S. went to war with the two groups following 9/11, evidence shows that Afghanistan poses a greater danger to Americans than before the attacks, a national security analyst told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“The threat of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan is far greater today than pre-9/11, as the Taliban controls all of Afghanistan, has the resources of the state, and has allowed Al Qaeda to establish significant terror infrastructure, including training camps, safe house and religious schools,” said Bill Roggio, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “Al Qaeda has the time, space and resources to recruit and train the next generation of terrorists and plot their next attack.”
The SIGAR document in part referenced a February United Nations (U.N.) report which found that Al Qaeda followers had “access to weapons” taken from the former Afghan government. The supplies had been “transferred to them by the de facto authorities/Taliban or purchased from the black market,” it said
Biden will go down as a traitor who didn’t value the lives of Americans or the USA.
Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar isn’t the first Democrat to file quixotic, attention-grabbing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on entirely specious grounds.
He break new ground, however, in being the first known mass serial animal abuser ever to do it. Take that, Al Green!
As the HuffPost reported in 2018, when Thanedar was a Michigan gubernatorial candidate, AniClin Preclinical Services was forced to close after its parent company went under. When it did, roughly 170 dogs and monkeys had to be rescued from the lab his company ran after they were left to rot inside the facility.
From a USA Today report about the group that rescued the abandoned beagles at the facility:
There’s more here, but I couldn’t read it all because I can’t take cruelty to animals. I take a dim view of humans that can do this to animals. Pricks.
UK Electricity Consumption
The REF’s new report on green energy subsidies noted that renewables subsidies are now costing £25.8 bn per year – or over £900 per household annually – about one third of which, £280, will hit the average domestic electricity bill directly.
For a long time, part of the gaslighting around the cost of Net Zero has been focus people’s attention over the impact on their energy bills.
However, as John Constable pointed out, only about a third of the cost hits the public directly via their electricity bills, because only a third of electricity is consumed by domestic users.
The other two thirds is used by industry and commerce, transport and the public sector.
But that does not mean that the public at large don’t end up footing the entire bill one way or another.
Higher electricity costs for industry and commerce mean higher prices in the shops. And higher electricity costs in the public sector mean higher taxes or poorer public services.
At the worst, businesses may shut or move their production abroad, leaving us all worse off.
Miliband and co would love you to think you are only paying a hundred quid or so for Net Zero. People would be horrified to learn that the price is nearer a thousand quid a year.
And that cost is of course just for starters. When we all have to buy expensive EVs and heat pumps we don’t want, we will be much worse off.
Yannow, there are lots of possibilities this week.
Next, the Democrats who flew to El Salvador to meet with him, but not a one of them went to see those in North Carolina who had storm damage from Hurricane Helene and lost their houses.
But, the winnah is the Federal judge who issued permanent ban on deporting Tren de Aragua terrorists using Alien Enemies Act
U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. is the first judge to rule that the Alien Enemies Act cannot be used against people who the Republican administration claims are gang members invading the United States.
The democrats are protecting the criminals and so is the judicial system. That means MS-13, gang bangers, coyotes, drug pushers and murderers are protected, yet American citizens are now in danger.
So Judge Rodriguez, you are the asshole of the week
Nationalism is villainous and globalists are the heroes? It’s a propaganda message that has been building since the end of World War II and the creation of globalist institutions like the UN, the IMF, World Banks, etc. By the 1970s there was a concerted and dangerous agenda to acclimate the western world to interdependency; not just dependency on imports and exports, but dependency of currency trading, treasury purchases and interbank wealth transfer systems like SWIFT.
This was the era when corporations began outsourcing western manufacturing to third world countries. This is when the dollar was fully decoupled from gold. When the IMF introduced the SDR basket system. When the decade long stagflationary crisis began.
This was when the World Economic Forum was founded. The Club of Rome and their climate change agenda. When numerous globalists started talking within elitist publications and white papers talking about a one world economy and a one world government (under their control, of course). By the 1990s everything was essentially out in the open and the plan was clear:
Their intention was to destroy national sovereignty and bring in an age of total global centralization. One of the most revealing quotes on the plan comes from Clinton Administration Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbot, who stated in Time magazine in 1992 that:
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority… National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”
He adds in the same article:
“…The free world formed multilateral financial institutions that depend on member states’ willingness to give up a degree of sovereignty. The International Monetary Fund can virtually dictate fiscal policies, even including how much tax a government should levy on its citizens. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade regulates how much duty a nation can charge on imports. These organizations can be seen as the protoministries of trade, finance and development for a united world.”
The globalists use international trade controls as a way to ensnare competing economies, forcing them to become homogeneous. They take away the self reliance of nations and pressure them to conform to global trade standards. It’s important to understand that they view centralized dominance of trade as a primary tool for eventually obtaining their new world order.
The idea of a country going off the plantation and initiating unilateral tariffs is unheard of. The notion of countries producing their own necessities is absurd. As least, until 2025.
One of the most humorous and bewildering side effects of the Trump Administration’s policy rollout is the scramble by the political left (especially in Europe) to portray themselves as “rebel heroes fighting for freedom” in the face of a supposedly tyrannical dictatorship. Of course, these are globalists and cultural Marxists we’re dealing with, so their definitions of “freedom” and “tyranny” are going to be irreparably skewed.
The EU elites have truly lost the plot when it comes to their message on “democracy”. Today, many European nations are spiraling into classical authoritarianism, yet they’re pretending as if they’re in a desperate fight for freedom.
I’ve heard it said that authoritarianism is the pathology of recognition. One could also say that it’s the pathology of affirmation – It’s not enough for the offending movement to be recognized as dominant, the population must embrace it, joyfully, as if it is the only thing they care about. This is the underlying goal of globalism: To force the masses to love it like a religion.
But to be loved by the people, they have to believe that globalism is their savior. They have to believe that globalists are somehow saving the world. Enter the new world order theater brought to us by The Economist. The magazine, partially owned by the Rothschild family, has long been a propaganda hub for globalism. They recently published an article titled ‘The Thing About Europe: It’s The Actual Land Of The Free Now’.
Yes, this is laughable given the fact that many European governments are currently hunting down and jailing people for online dissent. Mass open immigration is suffocating western culture on the continent. Violent crime is skyrocketing. Not to mention, the new trend among EU governments is to arrest right leaning political opponents to stop them from winning elections.
When I worked with Chris Wong, obviously Chinese, at IBM, he told me the key to understanding how to work with China is simple. They ignore the 10 commandments. That’s right, lie, steal, coven and all the rest of them.
Here’s the result:
China claims that President Trump started the trade war against China by imposing reciprocal tariffs.
What China conveniently omits is that they have been waging a full-scale trade war against America for decades. Not only does China systematically violate just about every term of every trade agreement, they have been stealing trillions worth of American industrial technology and intellectual property.
China Steals at Least $225 Billion Every Year
According to a 2024 report from the House Committee on Homeland Security, China steals between $300 and $600 billion worth of American technology and intellectual property every year. This is in line with findings from a 2017 report from the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property.
If we assume a middle-of-the-road figure, and extrapolate these findings back to 2001, when China joined the World Trade Organization, then we can assume that China has stolen some $9.9 trillion worth of American technology and intellectual property. As we will see below, this does not even encapsulate all the ways that China steals technology.
Perhaps surprisingly, only 29% of espionage targets were military in nature. The vast majority of China’s efforts have been focused on procuring industrial technology, including manufacturing processes, formulas, and designs. This theft costs American businesses at least $180 billion annually.
American businesses also lost out on big profits from counterfeit goods. A report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) notes that 60% of all counterfeit goods sold globally originated in China. The proportion is even higher for America’s consumer market, with 87% of the counterfeit goods sold in America originating in China. This deprives American companies of some $291 billion in lost revenue.
\Another report compiled by the United States Trade Representative discusses theft perpetrated on Chinese e-commerce markets. In particular, this “cause[s] great losses for U.S. Right holders involved in the distribution of a wide array of trademarked products, as well as legitimate film and television programming, music, software, video games, books and journals.”
Although this loss cannot be specifically quantified, it is likely significant. Consider that in 2024 Chinese e-commerce transactions were valued at an estimated $2.16 trillion USD. According to the above reports, approximately 40% of all products sold on these markets were pirated or counterfeit. Thus, we can estimate that these transactions deprived foreign — mostly American — businesses of $864 billion in profits.
How China Steals American Technology
Reports on China’s malfeasance typically focus on espionage and outright corporate theft. However, the main vectors of technological theft are not conventional theft. Instead, China focuses on acquiring ownership stakes in strategic American corporate assets, and strongarms American companies doing business in China.
America runs a large trade deficit with China, worth at least $300 billion per year over the last decade. How does America pay for this deficit? By selling assets and debts — this is called the balance of payments.
Assets include shares – ownership — of American corporations. Chinese investors coordinate to buy shares in American industrial and technology companies. They then use these shares to facilitate the transfer of proprietary technology.
Perhaps this is not technically theft, but it is a coordinated effort by the Chinese state and pseudo-state actors to acquire American technology. Further, these “owners” clearly breach their fiduciary duties to the American companies — once the technology is pillaged, they are free to liquidate their holdings.
The second main vector for technology transfers occur when American companies offshore their production to China. American companies are required to “partner” with a Chinese company, who handles all staffing and operational management of the factory. As a part of this deal, the Americans share their propriety technology with the Chinese company, and train the Chinese workers.
American businesses are happy to trade technology for short-term profits. Of course, this comes back to bite them. Once the Chinese have acquired the technology and knowhow, they often make copycat products and begin competing with their former employer.
A good example of this is the Pearl River Piano Group. They were contracted to build Steinway’s Essex line, lower-end manufactured pianos. After acquiring the technology, industrial capital, and experience in manufacturing pianos, Pearl River rolled out its own copycat lines: Pearl River and Ritmüller. In effect, Steinway created its own competitor.
This is just one example. The reality is that almost all Chinese companies have been built on stolen technology. Huawei, for example, is one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Huawei invented precisely nothing — all the foundational technologies were either “gratuitously” transferred through the above mechanisms, or stolen through outright corporate espionage.
The total amount of technology “stolen” in this way is unquantifiable. Consider that in 1983 most of China was pre-industrial — with economic development lower than that of colonial America. Since then, China’s industrial economy grown to be three times larger than America’s, and in some ways, more advanced.
America needs high and stable tariffs in order to reshore America’s factories, and stem the most egregious vectors of technological theft. If not, then America will continue to feed China until the dragon has grown past the point of taming or slaying.

The recent massive blackout across Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium has sparked new debates about the state of Europe’s energy infrastructure, especially as these countries have moved toward renewable energy.
We’ll get into that shortly…
READ MORE: Female pilot killed nearly 70 people seconds after ignoring a direct warning…
On Monday, Spain and Portugal experienced a massive power outage. Spain lost about 60 percent of its electricity within about five seconds. France and Belgium were also hit, and everybody experienced some level of disruption to their transportation, communication, and overall daily life.
At first, rumors spread that the blackout was caused by some “rare cosmic phenomenon.” But that was quickly ruled out.
Investigations have also ruled out cyberattacks and weather-related events. The early findings suggest that a sudden loss in solar power in southwestern Spain is what triggered everything.
Watch:
This incident shines a light on the growing debate over renewable energy sources and not having proper backup systems.
Think about it: this small little change instantly impacted four countries and nearly brought down two of them.
Take a look:
Spain is one of Europe’s leaders in renewable energy, with over 75% of its electricity coming from renewable sources at the time of the outage.
Net Zero isn’t reality, but that’s exactly what Spain is pushing.
This is truly bananas: all of Europe appears to have been seconds away a continent-wide blackout.
The grid frequency across continental Europe plunged to 49.85 hertz — just a hair above the red-line collapse threshold.
The normal operating frequency for Europe’s power grid is 50.00 Hz, kept with an extremely tight margin of ±0.1 Hz. Anything outside ±0.2 Hz triggers major emergency actions.
If the frequency had fallen just another 0.3 Hz — below 49.5 Hz — Europe could have suffered a system-wide cascading blackout.
At that threshold, automatic protective relays disconnect major power plants, and collapse accelerates.
And it’s disturbingly easy to imagine multiple scenarios where that could have occurred…
Renewables don’t risk blackouts, said the media. But they did and they do. The physics are simple. And now, as blackouts in Spain strand people in elevators, jam traffic, and ground flights, it’s clear that too little “inertia” due to excess solar resulted in system collapse.
Democratic Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is facing scrutiny after a bombshell 7News I-Team investigation revealed her office failed to properly disclose funding sources for a series of lavish trips. ($62K worth)
Despite Bowser’s repeated claims that her domestic and international travels are part of economic development efforts, public records raise alarming questions. Bowser’s administration reportedly has no expense filings on record for trips to the Masters Tournament, Las Vegas, Miami, Mar-a-Lago, Dubai, or Doha, even though several of these outings appear to have been paid for by third-party entities, including foreign nations and private organizations, according to 7News.
A groundbreaking study reveals that women using mifepristone, the abortion pill, face a staggering 22 times higher risk of life-threatening complications than claimed by the FDA and Danco Laboratories, the manufacturer of Mifeprex. This challenges the narrative from abortion advocates and corporate media that the pill, responsible for over half of U.S. abortions, is “safe and effective.”
Conducted by Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson and Director of Data Analysis Jamie Bryan Hall, the study is the largest known analysis of abortion pill outcomes. It examined insurance claims from Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and private insurers, covering 865,727 mifepristone prescriptions dispensed to 692,873 women between 2017 and 2023.
The findings highlight a significant gap between reported and actual risks, raising urgent questions about the safety of mifepristone. As the debate over abortion access intensifies, this data could reshape public policy and medical guidelines surrounding the use of abortion pills.
Thefederalist.com reports: Approximately 10.9 percent of those claims, or 94,605 chemical abortions, involved potentially life-threatening “serious adverse events” such as emergency room visits, hemorrhage, sepsis, infection, and/or follow-up surgeries for the women who had downed the abortion drug within the last 45 days.
why do these people want to kill babies so much anyway. Put on a rubber and have at it, don’t use abortion as contraception
Newsflash to my European friends — the more you criticize America and the more you marginalize Americans, the quicker you will push the U.S. away from the global stage and closer towards a new form of isolationism and nationalism.
One of the sad facts of life today is that many people in many countries have decided that America is no longer their friend, no longer a reliable partner in NATO and is willing to desert its allies in times of need.
Some are even calling America a rogue nation that is cannibalizing its own Constitution and is on a path towards a dictatorship with a megalomaniac narcissist at the helm.
Here in Europe, where I am, every day, the media in several European nations bring out their “America experts” who routinely characterize the U.S. as an example of everything that is wrong with the world.
They portray the country as anti-family because it won’t enact laws to promote paid family leave for men. They say it is racist because it chooses a meritocracy over racially-biased hiring policies. They don’t understand why the U.S. won’t levy massive taxes on entrepreneurs and risk-takers and they really don’t know why Americans are concerned about protecting their free speech.
In short, they feel that America refuses to adopt a host of policies that only “enlightened societies” (like theirs) see as inviolate.
Unfortunately, many of these same experts tend to be products of universities that have long-standing institutional views on the dangers of working too hard, being too ambitious and too devoted to creating a society based on the power of the individual and on the right of the majority to decide matters of national importance.
Some of these countries’ priorities seem to be rooted in perpetuating their own status quo that aims to protect and preserve their own beliefs that they — and they alone — have all the answers and solutions to society’s problems and challenges.
While this is not unusual for any country that wants to safeguard its own values and ideals, it can seem arrogant to other countries, especially when these views are promoted with missionary-like zeal, accompanied by a wagging finger.
Such is the case in the current situation with the United States. It must be said, however, that the U.S. has also been guilty of pushing its views of what constitutes an ideal society onto other countries, especially smaller ones. This has created a long-standing, frustration and simmering anger toward Americans, and this anger has now reached the boiling point after the election of Donald Trump.
His views, remarks and actions, the latest of which is the imposition of massive tariffs which many are calling the first battle of World Trade War I have created widespread animosity and fear among European nations.
Europeans are boycotting American products and are encouraging their national pension funds to disinvest in American companies and to seek out alternatives. Nothing American is safe from attack. Local and national governments are being told by angry constituents that it’s time to throw effective and affordable American software systems like Microsoft products on the dust heap and, instead, find European alternatives.
America-hate has also infected some countries’ defense purchases. Major American defense suppliers are feeling the pushback and are being forced to defend not only the effectiveness of their equipment but also assure Europeans that they will not hit the “kill switches” on sophisticated F-35 aircraft on a whim.
Tourism, too, is taking a hit. Foreign tourism to the U.S. is down, and this is the result of a “culture war” that is playing out, which, in my opinion, is linked to the trade war and that is robbing the dollar of its value, siphoning off industry’s profits and is serving to push America into a corner.
Yet, as everyone knows, when Americans are cornered, they generally fight back. Surrender has never been an option, so what then are the next likely steps if both wars continue simultaneously and apace?
Barring any monumental event or policy change, I would submit that the end result will be an America that chooses to go its own way, effectively taking the country back to the last century when isolationism was a powerful force for Americans. The thought being, “If the rest of the world doesn’t want us, doesn’t like us or our products, fine. We can live with that, but they shouldn’t have our number on speed dial if they want our help.” For globalists, this is the worst possible scenario, today.
The eight decades of friendship that followed the end of the Second World War could be erased quickly, leaving the world’s countries to adopt an “every man for himself” industrial policy.
Without the United States, NATO would collapse or be severely diminished. Bilateral agreements between countries would proliferate, leaving multilateral agreements worthless. Larger predator countries could feel emboldened because of the new disintegration of the old world order that was guaranteed by such multilateral agreements. We could see extra-territorial military incursions be used as test probes to see if other nations would rally to their neighbors’ defense. Current military capabilities of E.U. nations, for example, are insufficient to push back on an advance of say, Russia, against Latvia, which would probably justify its incursion to “protect the Russian-speaking minority” in that country.
Europe could be fighting on multiple “fronts,” some physical like military confrontations and others that are trade-related as countries ramp up domestic production of old industries that have been resurrected to replace the offensive American imports.
Tourism to the U.S. would shrink, dramatically, as would technical, academic and scientific collaboration and other forms of personnel exchange. Visa cooperation between the U.S. and 20 European countries that now enjoy visa-free travel would be suspended. The U.S. tourism industry would survive because of its highly developed destinations and tourism infrastructure, but European tourism would be dealt an expensive blow. U.S. participation in “save the planet” or international energy organizations would be non-existent.
It’s death by a thousand cuts, all because of a lack of understanding.
The unvarnished truth about the reasons for our current troubles with Europe for example, is that the Europeans do not understand what makes America or Americans “tick.”
For many years, they were happy watching America turn towards socialism under eight years of Barack Obama and four years under Joseph Biden. After all, those two presidents and their administrations were more “European-like” and they figured this trend would continue because they thought that most Americans wanted a more social democratic state like their own.
They were wrong.
There are two Americas and anyone who has lived there knows that. Those that haven’t rely on their national news media to paint them a picture that the mostly left-leaning European media believes that its consumers must have in order to perpetuate strongly-held national beliefs in the righteousness and validity of their values. Instead of using a magnifying glass to really see the United States for what it truly is, European media have given their viewers and readers a mirror and an echo chamber that has only strengthened their national bias.
Maybe a trial separation is necessary so that both the U.S. and its allies can truly determine what’s wrong with the relationship(s).
What we must keep in mind, however, is that every separation has real, long-lasting consequences, and depending on the length of the separation, the consequences can be minimal or significant.
Today, our trade patterns are on the table. Tomorrow it could be anything or everything. If we are to move forward and preserve that relationship we must accept the fact that we are different as people and societies, but that those differences should not lead to our downfall. We must work through them and learn why we are who we are and why we do what we do and embrace introspection and eschew condemnation. This is one of those times when Occam’s Razor cannot be employed … at least not until we know more about each other and stop viewing our differences as impediments to progress.
They died with Covid, but not from it, but it didn’t fit the narrative.
The following is from Children’s Health Defense.
A new peer-reviewed study published in Scientific Reports found that nearly half of the deaths labeled as “COVID-19” in seven hospitals in Athens, Greece, were not caused by the virus. The study reviewed 530 deaths from January to August 2022 and found that only 25.1% were directly due to COVID-19.
In another 29.6% of cases, COVID-19 contributed to the outcome—but a full 45.3% of patients died from unrelated causes while simply testing positive at the time of death.
A clinical review revealed major inconsistencies between official death certificates and patient case histories:
The study also found:
“That the official reporting of death rates is that inflated, that far into the pandemic, strongly suggests the over-reporting was intentional.”
— Dr. Clayton J. Baker, Internal medicine physician
Researchers noted that Greece’s official policy classified any patient who tested positive at the time of death as a COVID death—regardless of clinical findings. Experts say similar policies were used across Western nations.
“There was a financial desire to make a lot of money from rapidly developed mRNA vaccines and to set a precedent for this in the future. As infections from SARS-CoV-2 virus were generally quite mild, it was necessary to scare people into thinking COVID-19 was far more severe, and far more prevalent, than it actually was.”
— Dr. David Bell, Public health physician, Biotech consultant
The study relied on full clinical audits, physician interviews, and patient chart reviews—offering a more accurate analysis than studies based on administrative codes. Researchers selected the Omicron wave for its lower severity, where death misclassification was easier to detect.
Karl Jablonowski said the damage extended far beyond recordkeeping. He said the study’s results show that public health decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic were guided by fear instead of scientific or medical criteria.
“Regardless of what the intention was behind the over-exaggeration of COVID-19 deaths, the consequences led us down the wrong path … We isolated with closed doors and mask coverings. We administered experimental drugs and experimental vaccines. Our hospitals became places of harm.”
— Karl Jablonowski

I’ve even heard of some being deleted off Bitchute.
But after hours of searching I was able to find it.
It’s the “super edit” of all things said by that creep Klaus Schwab.
Or as some of you have nicknamed him: “Anal Schwab”.
I like that one.
But this really is no laughing matter.
Complete with even the evil German accent, this guy is like someone wrote a super-villain for a Hollywood movie and he somehow got loose in the real world.
Who says these kinds of things?
If you have ever doubted that they want to create a mass genocide of the human population and “reduce the population to 500 million” (see Georgia Guidestones) look no further that what this guy is saying publicly.
He probably thought we’d never piece it all together.
They like to “hide in plain sight”.
Too bad we’re paying attention now and millions of people have now been Red Pilled.
Can’t hide in plain sight any longer.
Folks, let me say it plainly: all the events you see playing out right now on the world stage are not random chance.
They’re not just due to some “bad actors”.
They’re staged in advance, carefully crafted.
Listen to what he says in this video: the change is crafted!

They plot all this evil, all the sickness, all the wars….all to bring about the “change” they want. The “chaos” they want. It’s all deliberate.
And you and I pay the price.

Notice I didn’t say climate because global warming is a lie, a money laundering tool that is losing steam (see what I did there?)
Anyway, from Watts Up With That, why warming up is better than cooling.
Here in England this spring, there was dry, sunny weather through most of March, followed by gentle showers in April. And here is the opening couplet of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Tales of Caunterbury, written more than six centuries ago in 1387:
From the medieval climate optimum to the modern climate optimum, the weather in these islands has changed scarcely at all. The drought of March, the sweet April showers, the birdsong day and night, the bursting forth of primroses, bluebells, daffodils and other spring flowers, all are today just as Chaucer described them in the Middle Ages.
The wine-dark sea
One can even go back to Homer, in the 8th Century BC, who talked of the Mediterranean as “the wine-dark sea”. And here am I, almost three millennia later, recently recovered from a long illness caused by defective medication with no active ingredient in it, having climbed to the 1230ft summit of the Akamas peninsula in Cyprus, doing a Canute and challenging the wine-dark sea not to rise. The sea was wine-dark in Homer’s time. It is still wine-dark today.
Where, then, are the drastic changes in climate and consequent catastrophes and cataclysms so luridly predicted by the climate Communists? Where are the mass extinctions? Why is the climate much as it was in the Middle Ages? Why are ten times as many dying of cold as of heat? Why are crop yields at record highs? Why is the planet greening so fast?
Cold, not heat, is the real killer
Silvio Canto Jr., at the splendid American Thinker blog, reminds us that “Earth Day” began on Lenin’s birthday, 22 April. He sets out some examples of the half-witted predictions made by the totalitarian far Left in the early 1970s, when the “green holy day” started:
Paul Ehrlich, in a 1969 essay entitled Eco-Catastrophe!, wrote: “Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born. By [1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”
In April 1970 he wrote in Mademoiselle: “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years”.
In the 1970 Earth Day issue of The Progressive, he sketched out his most alarmist scenario, telling readers that between 1980 and 1989 some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in what he called the “Great Die-Off.”
In the May 1970 issue of Audubon, he wrote that DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons “may have substantially reduced the life expectancy of people born since 1945.” He said that Americans born since 1946 now had a life expectancy of only 49 years, and he predicted that if current patterns continued this expectancy would reach 42 years by 1980, when it might level out. According to the most recent CDC report, life expectancy in the US is 78.6 years.
That year he predicted that “air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone”. He predicted that 200,000 Americans would die by 1973 during “smog disasters” in New York and Los Angeles.
Five years later he predicted that “Since more than nine-tenths of the original tropical rainforests will be removed in most areas within the next 30 years or so [i.e., by 2005], it is expected that half of the organisms in these areas will vanish with it.”
Kenneth Watt, an ecologist, said: “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate … that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill ’er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, ‘I’m very sorry, there isn’t any.’” Global oil production in 2024, at about 95 million barrels per day, was double the global oil output of 48 million barrels per day at the time of the first Earth Day in 1970.
He gave a speech predicting a pending Ice Age: “The world has been chilling sharply for about 20 years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an Ice Age.”
He also told Time that “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.”
Barry Commoner, a Washington University biologist, wrote in the Earth Day issue of Environment: “We are in an environmental crisis that threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.”
He also predicted that decaying organic pollutants would consume all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, suffocating freshwater fish.
George Wald, a Harvard biologist, estimated that “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years [by 1985 or 2000] unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
The New York Times, on its editorial page the day after the first Earth Day, wrote: “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”
Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, wrote in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness: “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.”
Peter Gunter, a professor at North Texas State University, wrote in 1970: “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China, the Near East and Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions… By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” The prediction of famine in South America has come to pass only in Venezuela and only due to socialism, not due to environmental reasons.
Life Magazine reported in January 1970: “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution … by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching Earth by one half.”
Harrison Brown, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated that humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000, while lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990.
Senator Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look: “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”
None of these lurid fantasies, mere pretexts for totalitarian control measures, has materialized.
While I have been ill, I have been quietly working on our team’s climatological research. For an update on our result, now published as an extended abstract after peer review, search YouTube for “Tom Nelson Monckton”.
I have also had long and detailed conversations with two Fellows of the Royal Society, who are justifiably concerned at the Society’s propensity to promulgate only the official narrative on questions such as global warming and are preparing to do something about it.
We have already notched up a useful initial victory. Several Communist Fellows had decided that now that Elon Musk is for some reason no longer a hero of the Left they should call a meeting of the Royal Society to strip him of his Fellowship.
And no one says a thing about it. What do you want to bet it’s China
A $100 million foreign dark money scheme, uncovered by the America First Policy Institute, reveals how anonymous donations from abroad have swayed ballot initiatives in 25 states, including Ohio’s controversial 2024 abortion and drug decriminalization measures. The findings revive debates over election integrity, congressional inaction and the growing power of progressive groups like the Sixteen Thirty Fund to bypass state legislatures. The investigations also highlight a 2021 Federal Election Commission ruling that opened the door to foreign funding, despite widespread bipartisan public opposition.
This is why people don’t trust politicians. This isn’t even a good lie. No one covers more for democrats and/or blacks than the media. Let’s not forget that this is the guy who delivered the Black vote for Biden when Bernie was winning in exchange for black women everything, from SCOTUS to the FAA.
How he can say this is why we should have term limits.
Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on MSNBC this weekend and claimed that Democrats are having problems because the media isn’t doing enough to carry their message to the people.
Yeah, right. Everyone knows that the media is famously in the tank for the Republican Party. Amazingly, this story is even real.
Newsmax reports:
Rep. Clyburn Blames Media for Democrats’ Dropping Ratings
The media is to blame for the Democratic Party’s dropping approval ratings because reporters won’t share its messaging, according to Rep. James Clyburn.
“I think the message from the Democratic Party is a good one,” the South Carolina Democrat told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, reports The Hill on Saturday. “The problem we’ve got, I’ll say, is that we have to depend on the media to deliver it.”
Clyburn’s comments came after a question from Velshi, host of “The Last Word,” who on Friday told the lawmaker that the perception of a lack of messaging from the party is leading voters to lose faith, particularly after the losses in the 2024 election.
The congressman, said The Washington Post is a good example of the messaging issue, pointing to the relationship between its owner, Jeff Bezos, and President Donald Trump.
“We have The Washington Post, for instance, caving to this wannabe dictator and we’ve got other media entities that seem to rather push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers or their television sets and not really give a fair hearing or reporting to what we’re doing,” Clyburn said.
Polls are showing dropping approval ratings for the Democratic Party.
Rep. James Clyburn Blames the Democrats’ Problems on the Media Not Being Friendly Enough to Them
Nuclear scientist Digby Macdonald said that carbon dioxide (CO2) is not the primary driver of global temperature changes.
In a recent episode of EpochTV’s Bay Area Innovators program, Macdonald said that temperature rises first, followed by CO2.
He pointed to the example of a carbonated drink and how a rise in temperature will cause the drink to release its CO2 faster, causing it to go flat.
“That’s the very reason why you put your beer in a refrigerator,” he said. “If you want the fizzy drink to be tangy … you put it in the refrigerator so the CO2 remains in the drink.”
Macdonald said one of the reasons for the change in climate is the Milankovitch cycle—the regular variations in the elliptical path the earth travels around the sun.
He said that cycle changes every 100,000 years and an ice age occurs when it’s the most elliptical because the earth is receiving a lot less solar radiation and heat.
This cycle, combined with the earth’s wobble and sunspot activity, are the drivers of climate, he said.
“There’s nothing that you and I can do about that,” Macdonald said. “That’s okay, because if we rely upon the historical record, we go through these maxima and minima.”
He said during the Roman period it was one of the maxima, in which temperatures were about two to four degrees higher than now, and there was a large advance in civilization.

Anyway, there is a chart below that names the Satan worshipers who run the WEF. I found Al Gore, but not John Kerry. The rest of the world they are trying to dominate is there.
Here goes:
On the same day Pope Francis—known for his inclusive beliefs—passed away, another globalist fell: Klaus Schwab, the architect of the World Economic Forum’s dystopian agenda, announced he was stepping down from the WEF board. It marks the end of an era for Schwab, who championed radical wokeness, bug eating, mass vaccination campaigns, population control, and climate de-growth policies through what often resembled digital communism—social credit scores, central bank digital currencies, and many more China-like policies. Meanwhile, cultural shifts across the Americas signal a rising movement toward traditional values, sending the WEF’s ideological woke grip on governments, non-government organizations, corporations, the church, and society into disarray.
“Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect,” Schwab wrote in a statement.
Schwab stepped down as executive chairman one year ago (read: here), with former Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende taking over daily operations. WEF said Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was appointed board chairman in the interim and that a search committee for replacement had been appointed.
WEF stated:
“At a time when the world is undergoing rapid transformation, the need for inclusive dialogue to navigate complexity and shape the future has never been more critical. The Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum underlines the importance of remaining steadfast in its mission and values as a facilitator of progress. Building on its trusted role, the Forum will continue to bring together leaders from all sectors and regions to exchange insights and foster collaboration.”
Might recognize some of the WEF’s board members…
Schwab’s resignation also comes three months after President Trump told globalist CEOs at the WEF’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, “America is back.” It also follows Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative, which nuked USAID programs that funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into corrupt NGOs.
Listen to him talk. I was waiting for the word Fuhrer to come out.

The only thing I can’t figure out is where they stand with the CCP. For them to take over the world, they have to deal with the other Hell bound leaders, the Chinese Government. I wonder where the Muslim’s weigh in on this crap. They worship Satan also.
America’s intel agencies launched one of the greatest witch hunts in U.S. history to cripple Trump and undermine the will of the American people.
Democrats and their media allies have run a lot of unsubstantiated hoaxes throughout the past several years. And while each is damaging in its own way, one of the biggest and arguably most destructive conspiracies perpetuated by these actors and Americans’ own government was the unsubstantiated narrative that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
Despite a complete lack of “actual” corroborating evidence, leftists spent years fomenting delusions that the New York-born billionaire, while in cahoots with the Kremlin, had masterminded a scheme to undermine American “democracy” and deny Hillary Clinton the White House. Even worse was many of these conspiracies were aided by U.S. intel agencies like the FBI, which concocted a years-long investigation (“Crossfire Hurricane”) into Trump’s first presidency using baseless “evidence” bought and paid for by a Clinton campaign-hired law firm.
While Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 analysis of the FBI’s antics confirmed what The Federalist had reported for years — that there was no evidenciary basis for the agency’s anti-Trump probe — the damage the conspiracy had done to Americans’ trust in elections was already complete. And now, almost two years after Durham’s bombshell report, newly released documents further prove the baselessness of the scheme.
Obtained by The Federalist late last week, the nearly 700 pages of government records offer an introspective look into the FBI’s efforts to undermine Trump using its crooked Crossfire Hurricane operation.
To fully understand how the Russia collusion hoax came to fruition requires delving into the origins of Crossfire Hurricane.
In early to mid-2016, the Clinton campaign’s law firm, Perkins Coie, hired the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump ahead of the November contest. As The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland reported, to accomplish this task, Fusion subsequently hired ex-British spy Christopher Steele “in May or June of 2016 to focus on Trump’s connections to Russia, and by June 20, 2016, Steele had drafted the first of some 17 memoranda that would eventually compose what is now known colloquially as the Steele dossier.”
Steele’s “initial memorandum” — which contained bunk and salacious allegations about Trump — was then shopped by Steele to his FBI handler on July 5, 2016, Cleveland continued.
So, where did Steele acquire the dirt for his anti-Trump dossier?
As further confirmed in the newly unsealed records, which detail Steele’s September 2017 interview with FBI officials, the ex-spy acknowledged that his anti-Trump oppo research largely relied upon claims from a “primary subsource.” According to the records, Steele said this individual “is a US resident and is a native Russian, adding that there is no way [the source] could have the kind of access he has without being Russian.”
“Steele trained up his primary subsource, and Steele described him as a prolific asset,” the documents read.
In the years since Steele’s 2017 interview, the primary sub-source has been identified as Russian national Igor Danchenko. As noted by Cleveland, Danchenko was indicted in late 2021 for “making false statements to the FBI” and was “alleged to have invented some of the supposed intel contained in the dossier.” Danchenko was later acquitted by a Northern Virginia-based jury on charges of lying to the agency in October 2022.
They had Bin Laden in 2006 and instead, we went to war with Afghanistan. I used to think Dubya was a good guy, but it looks like he is just one of the deep stater’s. It’s why you never hear him praise Trump, yet he is buddies with Clinton and Obama.
Al Qaeda boss and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden spent months living and receiving treatment in Iran, according to a bombshell interview on the Tucker Carlson Show this week.
Carlson sat down with former Pennsylvania congressman Curt Weldon (R.), who made the revelations, and also said that nosing around about the issue played a role in his being run out of Congress.
Weldon was defeated by Democrat Joe Sestak in the 2006 midterm elections. The race was overshadowed by an FBI raid of Weldon’s daughter’s home as part of a probe into whether the congressman improperly helped steer lobbying and public relations contracts her way. No charges were ever filed against him, and Weldon has long said the raid was politically motivated.
“I find out … within months after 9/11 that bin Laden has been sighted in a town called Ladiz,” the former congressman told Carlson. “It’s not in Afghanistan, it’s not in Pakistan. It’s in Iran, in an area called Balochistan.”
“Three months go by, I’m still supporting [President George W. Bush], my intel team comes back to me and says, ‘Curt, he’s being treated at a military hospital outside of Tehran,'” Weldon continued, referring to bin Laden. He added that he later met with an undercover agent for the CIA who told him bin Laden was in Iran.
Weldon, who noted his membership in the U.S. migratory bird commission, also cited a conversation he had with a Sikh falconry expert, who said bin Laden’s fowl trail ran through Persia. According to Weldon, the falconry pro told him: “My falconers are seeing bin Laden’s birds flying in Iran. You help me go to Iran. They’ll accept me there because they know me. I’ll tag his birds, and I’ll take the U.S. to exactly where he is.”
I know this could be made up, but the more I find out, the less I trust what the machine the Government has become. They had him as did Clinton and let him walk. It’s a printing press for money and power. There are good people but as a machine, they don’t care about those they govern anymore.
I’ll bet they knew he was living in Afghanistan a long time before they took him out. They could have taken the SOB out since before 9/11 and didn’t.
And the Sun will come up in the East tomorrow, Captain Obvious.

Socialism is just one step away from communism.
In his book Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover’s Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath, the former president repeatedly complained about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “fright campaign” to get the United States into World War II. In his terrifying Navy Day address on October 27, 1941, Roosevelt claimed to have a “secret map” showing Nazi plans to invade South America, targeting Brazil and the Panama Canal. The key section of his Navy Day address began with Roosevelt saying, “I have in my possession a secret map made in Germany by Hitler’s Government—by planners of the new world order. It is a map of South America and a part of Central America, as Hitler proposes to reorganize it.”
Hoover was skeptical. He conducted his own personal investigation into FDR’s secret map. “Four years later, after the German surrender, I was in Germany,” he wrote. “The American Army authorities informed me they had been instructed to search for these plans,” former President Hoover added. The result of Hoover’s investigation was fruitless. “Our officials informed me there were no such plans in the captured German files.”
Hoover was not the only one to investigate the origins of Roosevelt’s secret map. According to Lynne Olson’s book Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh, and America’s Fight over World War II, 1939-1941, the German government engaged in a frantic search to find out if it had produced the map. The result of this search was also fruitless. Four days after Roosevelt’s speech, Germany’s Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop “flatly denied the existence of such a map” and he called it a forgery “of the crudest and most brazen kind.” So, who was telling the truth, Roosevelt or von Ribbentrop?
With a sense of genuine surprise, Olson wrote that “the Reich was telling the truth.” Olson said that “it was a forgery, the product of a clandestine BSC unit in downtown Toronto called Station M.” BSC, which stands for British Security Coordination, was a covert arm of MI6, Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service. Creating fake documents at its Toronto “phony-document factory” was only one part of BSC’s covert operations. According to Thomas E. Mahl’s book Desperate Deception: British Covert Operations in the United States, 1939-44, BSC infected the public opinion polling industry to rig polls and to influence the congressional decision-making process. Mahl wrote, “Unknown to the public, the polls of Gallup, Hadley Cantril, Market Analysts Inc. [run by Sanford Griffith], and Roper were all done under the influence of dedicated interventionists and British intelligence agents.”

DonateDonate monthlyDonate yearlyHere we go again, exposing the truth about one of the biggest scams the government has come up with to launder money since war.
We may as well begin with the most controversial environmentalist claim, that our planet is at imminent risk of catastrophic climate change. The problem with this claim is two-fold. First, there remains vigorous—if suppressed—debate over whether the data actually supports this claim. There is ample evidence that average global temperatures are not rapidly increasing, if they are even increasing at all. There is also strong evidence that extreme weather events are not increasing but rather that our ability to detect them has improved and that population increases have led more people to live in places that are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather. Second, even if there is some truth to the claims of climate catastrophists, it is not possible to precipitously transform our entire energy infrastructure. The technology isn’t ready, the funding isn’t available, and most nations will not participate. Adaptation is our only rational course of action.
Based on extrapolations back in 1970, this may have appeared to be the case because populations worldwide at that time were rapidly growing. But today, in almost every nation, the inverse is now true: birthrates are well below replacement levels. Even in those nations that continue to experience rapid population growth, the rate of growth is following the same pattern of decline. The United Nations now estimates the total global population to top out at around 10 billion people, after which it is projected to decline. This means the rapid population growth we’ve seen over the past two centuries, where the global population octupled from 1 billion in 1804 to over 8 billion by 2024, is over. There is not one trend anywhere on earth that contradicts this pattern. Humanity faces a future of too few people, not too many.
While this is technically correct, the situation is nowhere close to what was famously predicted in 1956 by American geologist M. Hubbert, who claimed oil production in the U.S. would peak by 1970 and then slide into permanent decline. In the U.S. and around the world, new technologies and new discoveries have put total reserves of oil, along with natural gas and coal, at record highs despite increasing demand. According to the authoritative Statistical Review on Global Energy, based on current consumption, proven reserves could supply oil for 61 years, natural gas for 50, and coal for 208. This grossly understates the big picture, however, because proven and recoverable reserves are being expanded all the time. “Unproven” reserves, waiting to be discovered, will easily double the amount of time left. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t continue to research new sources of energy. But we have a century or more to sort this out.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Biofuel will never supply more than a small fraction of our energy requirements, and attempts to scale it beyond a niche product have produced catastrophic results. Just to use California as an example, the current yield of ethanol from a corn crop stands at not quite 500 gallons per acre. Californians consumed 13.6 billion gallons of gasoline in 2023. Since ethanol has 33 percent less energy per gallon than conventional gasoline, that means replacing gasoline with carbon-neutral ethanol would require 20.3 billion gallons of ethanol production, which in turn would require 63,400 square miles of irrigated farmland and over 120 million acre-feet of water per crop. To put this in perspective, California’s entire expanse of irrigated farmland only totals around 14,000 square miles, and California’s entire agricultural sector only consumes around 30 million acre-feet of water per year. Worldwide, biofuel crops already consume an estimated 500,000 square miles while only offsetting 2 percent of the global consumption of transportation fuel.
Absolutely not. Wind turbine blades, on land or offshore, routinely kill raptors, condors, and other magnificent endangered birds, along with bats and insects. Offshore, there are additional harmful impacts. Electromagnetic fields from undersea cables produce birth deformities in marine life and produce magnetic fields that disrupt the orientation abilities of some fish. Their low-frequency operational noise disrupts sounds made by fish for mating, spawning, and navigating. The turbines “increase sea surface temperatures and alter upper-ocean hydrodynamics in ways scientists do not yet understand” and “whip up sea sediment and generate highly turbid wakes that are 30-150 meters wide and several kilometers in length, having a major impact on primary production by phytoplankton, which are the base of marine food chains.” California’s official plan is to install 25,000 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity in floating wind farms 20 miles offshore. At 10 megawatts each, California’s treasured marine ecosystem will be disrupted by the presence of somewhere between 2,500 floating wind turbines, each one nearly 1,000 feet high. They will need 7,500 tethering cables descending 4,000 feet to the seafloor, along with 2,500 high-voltage cables. Expect ratepayers and taxpayers to subsidize a project that could cost $300 billion or more to build systems that may only have a lifespan of 10-20 years.
No. They’re not. Renewables most in favor with environmentalists are solar and wind farms with battery farms to store the intermittently generated electricity. Just the consumption of natural resources to build these renewables is hardly sustainable. For example, using data from the International Energy Agency, geopolitical writer Peter Ziehan calculated the mineral requirements for power generation, comparing renewables to natural gas in terms of kilograms of minerals per megawatt of capacity. Offshore wind: 16,000 kg/MW, onshore wind: 10,000 kg/MW, solar photovoltaic: 7,000 kg/MW, and natural gas: 2,000 kg/MW. Compounding this disparity is the fact that natural gas power plants can operate for 60 years or more, whereas solar installations are operable for 30 years at most, and wind turbines substantially less than that, depending on where they’re situated. As for EVs, Ziehan calculated kilograms of minerals per vehicle, with EVs requiring over 200 kg/vehicle, compared to conventional cars at only 35 kg/vehicle. It’s easy enough to see what this means. Replacing conventional energy with “renewables” has ignited an expansion of worldwide mining in nations with minimal environmental protections.
Not anytime soon. Worldwide, in 2022, 82 percent of global energy was still derived from fossil fuels. For everyone on earth to consume half as much energy per capita as Americans, global energy production will have to double. Based on those two cold facts, fossil fuels are going to be around for a very long time. Even these statistics understate the challenge. In 2023, most of the non-fossil fuel energy produced was from either nuclear (4.0 percent) or hydroelectric (6.8 percent) sources, leaving only 7.5 percent from allegedly renewable sources. And of the remaining 7.5 percent “renewables,” two-thirds of it was biofuel production, which should not be considered renewable or, at the very least, must be considered already at maximum capacity. That leaves only about 2.5 percent of worldwide energy production coming from renewables, if you want to call them that, primarily wind, solar, and geothermal sources.
This is not true for California, nor for the United States, and not even worldwide. Nonetheless, urban containment has been enforced in California ever since we stopped investing in expanding our energy, water, and transportation infrastructure, resulting in 94 percent of the population living on only 5 percent of the land. But urban containment isn’t necessary to ensure enough farm production. Even India, the most densely populated large nation on earth, where there are 2,700 people per square mile of farmland, is a net food exporter. In California, the alleged need for urban containment is truly ridiculous. Building new homes for ten million new California residents on quarter-acre lots, with four-person households, and allocating an equivalent amount for schools, parks, roads, and retail and commercial areas would only consume 1,953 square miles. This would only increase California’s urban footprint from 7,800 to 9,700 square miles, i.e., from 5.0 percent to 6.2 percent of all land in the state. The global trend is people voluntarily migrating to cities at the same time as the global population is expected to begin to decline within a few decades. There will be plenty of room for farms and wilderness even if cities are permitted to expand. Keeping cities bottled up is misanthropic and misguided, creating artificially high home prices and unwanted overcrowding.
It’s hard to imagine a claim more at odds with reality. Mass transit works in extremely dense urban areas where most jobs are located in a central core. With rare exceptions, such as Manhattan, most metropolitan areas no longer have this hub-and-spoke model, which renders economically viable mass transit extremely difficult. Then there are the challenges introduced during the COVID pandemic, which drove millions of riders out of mass transit to either commute in private cars or work from home. Ridership never recovered. An additional barrier to the readoption of mass transit is the fact that most cities are unwilling to police and remove disruptive individuals from the buses and trains, rendering their systems too dangerous for potential passengers to consider. Finally, along with now-mature work-from-home technology that is only going to improve, we have innovations just around the corner that will enable smart cars to convoy at higher speeds, increasing the capacity of existing roads, as well as a revolution in passenger drones that will take additional pressure off roads. Why would someone ride mass transit when they can relax while their own smart vehicle drives them point-to-point with no interruptions? And why should taxpayers subsidize mass transit?
This mantra has caused more harm than good to the wilderness. Litigation pursuant to the Endangered Species Act has severely restricted, if not put a complete stop to, logging on public land, although the current White House administration is trying to change that. Since then, over the past 40 years, because fires were suppressed and logging didn’t remove new growth, our forests have become overgrown, resulting in catastrophic fires. Similarly, ESA litigation and environmentalist-inspired regulations put a stop to dredging in California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which was the only way to maintain deep, cool channels favored by salmon ever since the construction of levees in the 1800s caused silt deposits to accumulate in what remained of their migration routes. It is important to protect truly endangered species, but environmentalists often create bigger problems. Poverty in Africa could be alleviated if environmental restrictions on energy development were lifted. But as it is, in desperate poverty, Africans are cutting down their forests for firewood, hunting wild game for food, and poaching dwindling herds of elephants, rhinos, lions, and other precious and endangered species for sale to international smugglers. How we manage our wilderness must be revisited with a reality-based emphasis on results, not ideology. Moreover, an encouraging fact is that while total forest cover in the world was in decline for many centuries, over the past 40 years, it has been increasing. This is the result of several factors: reforestation efforts, migration to urban areas, which depopulates forest regions; huge improvements in agricultural productivity, which takes farmland out of production, allowing for forests to reclaim the land; and maybe even slightly elevated atmospheric CO₂, which is plant food.
The ideals of environmentalism ought to inspire everyone, but the policies promulgated in the name of environmentalism are all too often actually hurting the environment. Examples are the mad rush to develop renewables and the power of the “climate crisis” narrative to deter rational cost/benefit analysis of environmentalist policies. The impact of misguided environmentalism is not merely the fate of wildlife and wilderness or the health of global ecosystems. It is also economic and, in practice, has led to profound transfers of wealth as entrenched special interests thrive on escalating regulations that only the biggest corporations and wealthiest individuals can navigate. Worldwide, entire industrial sectors are consolidated, costing nations the resilience and affordability that a diverse and competitive economy can deliver. Environmentalism, as it is practiced in the 21st century, is an arm of globalism, with shades of paternalism and colonialism that often overshadow its virtues.

I had to work in sustainability at IBM. I knew it was a load of shit from premise to people. It was a money laundering scheme from the getgo as well as a religion for those who don’t want to believe in God.
What looked like the Green Movement’s unstoppable momentum has stalled out recently, as Americans rethink the costs of some of the more draconian proposals to rid the world of industrial carbon dioxide. As skepticism grows, the movement to slash CO2 at all costs also may be nearing an end, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
Americans have become increasingly wary of the “net zero” and other modern-day green movements after so many of their doom-filled prophecies of imminent environmental disaster failed to come true.
In its national online poll taken Mar. 26-28, I&I/TIPP asked 1,452 poll respondents the following opening question: “Which of the following best describes your view of the current climate change movement?”
Those taking the poll, which has a +/-2.6 percentage point margin of error, were asked to choose from six possible answers:
The first answer was that the climate-change movement “is a necessary response to a serious global crisis.” It garnered 39% support, more than any other single response.
However, taken together, the remaining five responses portray a broad range of skepticism of the green movement among the rest of those who took the poll.
Within this group, 16% said “It has gone too far and is driven more by politics than science,” while 20% agreed: “I’m concerned about the environment but skeptical of climate alarmism.” Another 5% said “I used to support it but now question its motives and impact,” and 11% noted “I don’t believe climate change is a significant issue.” The remaining 9% said they were not sure.
It shouldn’t shock anyone at this point—our so-called leaders are double-talking, flip-flopping, and rewriting history again. We should be used to it by now. DC isn’t our nation’s capital; it’s a theatrical stage. One big, bloated production called “Whatever Way the Wind Blows.”
Turns out, back in the ’90s, Nancy Pelosi freely admitted that China was ripping off the US with some of the most unfair trade practices on the planet. In fact, if you listen to ’90s Pelosi, you’d swear she was an America First warrior—or a full-blown MAGA radical. In this flashback clip, she sounds like she could’ve been handpicked for Trump’s cabinet today.
“The average tariff on Chinese products coming into the U.S. is 2% whereas the average tariff on U.S. goods going into China is 35%. Is that reciprocal?
This Nancy Pelosi clip from the 90s is wild.
It sounds like she could be working in the Trump admin.
