Net Zero Is A Big Fat Zero For Economic Growth

Cutting greenhouse gas emissions was going to save the planet at no cost. Turns out it’s an economy wrecker, which is more feature than bug for many a climate alarmist.

Kallum Pickering, chief economist at Peel Hunt, a London-based investment bank, took on the claim of Labour Party British Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who said that pursuing net zero greenhouse gas emissions didn’t require a deceleration of economic growth. What he found was “sad to say,” but he stands by the facts.

“The result of the UK’s decarbonization efforts appears to be weak economic growth, stalling living standards, high energy prices and deindustrialization – without denting rising global emissions,” he wrote last week in the Telegraph.

“Net zero is strangling our economy,” says the headline over Pickering’s column, because “limiting available electricity has stifled productivity.”

On the Peel Hunt website, Pickering explained that data from 189 countries indicated there is “a strong positive correlation between living standards and energy consumption – showing a clear link between falling energy capacity and weak productivity in the UK.” He notes that “the decline in UK electricity supply, which started in 2006, coincided with the start of structural weakness in productivity growth.”

Bluntly put, without cheap and reliable energy, which is what we get from fossil fuels, an economy turns sclerotic. Which is why the political left works so feverishly to end gas and oil. As we have said so many times before, the agenda behind cutting greenhouse gases is in actuality an assault on capitalism, which, as the legendary Milton Friedman famously said, is the only economic system that has enabled the masses to escape from “grinding poverty.”

Trump Is On The Verge Of Ending The EPA’s Tyranny

Trump’s EPA has started the process to rescind the EPA’s authority to regulate CO2 and other alleged greenhouse gasses. It would remake our nation and shake a Western civilization already being pummeled by green madness. These regulations, both here and abroad, have been stalking horses for socialism and vehicles for fraud. graft, and funding left-wing actors on a scale unseen in human history.

On the international stage, the move to declare CO2 a pollutant and man its evil cause agent began in the 1970s with the first communist billionaire in the west, Maurice Strong. In 1988, Strong was instrumental in creating the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC), an organization that had as its primary purpose proving that “human activities” were increasing CO2 and to plan reparations for poor nations caused by western polluters.

Until 2007, the US resisted the claim that CO2 was a pollutant that could be regulated to adjust the world’s climate. That year, five activist Supreme Court Justices donned white lab coats of climate scientists in Massachusetts v. EPA to hold that the Clean Air Act was written so broadly that it gave the EPA, created simply to clean up pollution, almost unlimited authority to regulate carbon dioxide, an essential, albeit minute, part of our atmosphere.

This judicial overreach mattered because even a super-majority of congressional Democrats had rejected a law that would have authorized the EPA to regulate CO2. Armed with this Supreme Court ruling, Obama’s EPA acted unilaterally in 2009 to declare CO2 a pollutant it could regulate. How’s that for spitting in the face of Art. 1, Section 1 of the Constitution, which holds that the power to legislate is vested solely in Congress?

Today, according to those steeped in the canard of global warming, we sit at the edge of climate catastrophe. The climate is warming at an unprecedented rate. Sea levels will rise to inundate the lands. Floods and hurricanes are increasing in number and severity.

Perhaps worst of all, the evil little troll, Greta Thunberg, is mad at us

That’s the narrative: We are in a climate crisis and humanity itself is in danger. The WEF tells us that the cost of failing to respond to climate change will bankrupt the world. The only solutions are to adopt socialism and transfer the wealth of the US to the UN, where it can be redistributed as a form of green reparations.

Except…all of that is hot garbage.

Climate science is little more than modern Lysenkoism. It has been subject to decades of gatekeeping in universities, grant-making entities, the UN, and science journals, all working together to suppress any challenges to “the anthropogenic climate change consensus.” All too often, “climate modeling has transformed from a scientific tool into a mechanism for manufacturing hysteria.”

The temperature records have been reworked repeatedly over the past decades to create a warming trend far in excess of the raw historic data, and which data is, itself, questionable.

Many climate studies rely on questionable peer review as ostensible proof of their reliability rather than reproducing the studies.

Notably, there has been no increase in the number or severity of weather-related disasters for decades. The actual trendline, according to Roger Pielke, Jr., is completely flat.

[T]he completely false notion that global weather and climate disasters have increased and will continue to increase is commonly reported in the legacy media, buoyed by the promotion of false information by organizations that include the United Nations. In 2020 the U.N. claimed falsely of a “staggering rise in climate-related disasters over the last twenty years.”

Yet despite all of the above—much of it known for well over a decade—the climate change juggernaut has ignored it all and rolled on. The twin benefits to those pushing this canard are increased government power and access to almost limitless wealth.

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

I’ve learned more from my mistakes than my success.

I expect to win or be successful at what I do now. I’ve paid enough dues in life and have learned enough lessons at the school of hard knocks that I should be doing things correctly by now. (I hope I don’t eat those words).

Life was tough growing up. I had no manual and a couple of siblings who rooted against me the whole time. It almost forced my will to overcome and to not only win, but to overachieve at whatever I did.

Along the way though, failure at tasks, life, relationships, and a lot of other things taught me more lessons than success. I hate losing and I hate screwing up. I only want to fix something once.

Ex-CDC Director: ‘Long Covid’ Is ‘mRNA Vaccine Injury’

American virologist Dr. Robert R. Redfield, who served as the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during the pandemic, has admitted that reports of “so-called Long Covid” are actually a cover-up for global surges of “mRNA vaccine injury.”

Redfield made the explosive admission during a new interview with the MAHA Initiative podcast.

During an almost three-hour conversation with host Del Bigtree, Redfield blew the whistle on the Covid lab leak, discussed Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new role in public health, and dropped bombshells on the pandemic

Since leaving his federal government position at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term in January 2021, Redfield has focused on treating patients in his medical practice.

He explains in the interview that his surgery is flooded with patients who have been led to believe they have “Lond Covid.”

However, he notes that the vast majority of those patients are actually suffering from an injury caused by the Covid mRNA “vaccine” they received.

He made the revelation while discussing the immunity that vaccine makers received for developing the Covid injections.

Those protections shield pharmaceutical companies from being held liable when people are killed, disabled, or otherwise injured by the “vaccines.”

However, Redfield argues that the companies that produce the injections should not have any immunity.

The 2025 Terminator? Lab-grown muscle brings biohybrid robot hand to life

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They’ve created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical engineering, capable of gripping and making gestures. This innovation paves the way for a new generation of robotics with diverse applications.

Bridging biology and robotics

While soft robots and advanced prosthetics are becoming increasingly common, the combination of living tissue and machines is still relatively rare. The field of biohybrid science is in its infancy, with only a few examples, such as artificial fish powered by human heart cells or robots using locust ears for hearing. This new biohybrid hand represents a significant step forward in the practical application of this technology.

SOFT ROBOTIC ARMBAND GIVES PROSTHETIC HAND USERS NATURAL CONTROL

The secret ingredient: MuMuTAs

So, how did they do it? The team started by growing muscle fibers in the lab. Recognizing that these delicate tissues wouldn’t be strong enough on their own, they bundled them into what they call “multiple tissue actuators,” or MuMuTAs. “Our key achievement was developing the MuMuTAs,” said Shoji Takeuchi from the University of Tokyo.

Takeuchi is the co-author of a study describing the creation that was published in the journal Science Robotics. Shoji explained that creating MuMuTAs was their key achievement. By rolling the thin strands of muscle tissue like a sushi roll, they ensured enough contractile force and length to drive the hand’s movements.

Like a real hand

One of the most remarkable findings was that the biohybrid hand experienced fatigue, just like a real human hand. After 10 minutes of use, the force of the tissue declined, but it recovered within an hour of rest. This observation highlights the lifelike properties of the engineered muscle tissues.

Challenges and future directions

Takeuchi and his team acknowledge that their creation is currently a proof of concept. During the study, the hand was floated in a liquid to minimize friction, and adding elastic or more MuMuTAs would solve the issue of the segments floating back to a neutral position after being flexed. However, by bundling the tissue together, they overcame a major hurdle in scaling up biohybrid devices. Previously, such devices were limited to about a centimeter in size.

The potential

The development of MuMuTAs marks an important milestone in mimicking biological systems, which requires scaling up their size. While the field of biohybrid robotics is still young, this technology has the potential to revolutionize advanced prosthetics. It could also serve as a valuable tool for understanding muscle tissue function, testing surgical procedures, and developing drugs that target muscle tissues.

Kurt’s key takeaways

The biohybrid hand is a remarkable achievement that blends biology and engineering. While still in its early stages, this technology offers a glimpse into a future where robots possess lifelike movement and responsiveness. The development of MuMuTAs has overcome significant hurdles, paving the way for advanced prosthetics and a deeper understanding of muscle tissue function.


Iowa – Where Men Are Men And Women Are Women

While President Donald Trump has been tackling LGBTQ+ activism at the federal level, Iowa has become the first state to pass a bill that removes gender identity from the state’s civil rights law.
On Friday, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, signed SF418, which made its way to her desk with a 33-15 vote in the Senate and a 60-36 vote in the House.
The legislation eliminates “gender identity” as a protected class under the Iowa Civil Rights Act. It also defines sex as “the state of being either male or female as observed or clinically verified at birth.” The text goes on to define other terms such as “male” and “female,” and it states that the term “gender” will be regarded as a “synonym for sex.”

The legislation does not allow changes to birth certificates after an individual undergoes “gender-affirming care,” and it ensures that Iowa’s school curriculum does not promote “gender theory or sexual orientation to students in kindergarten through grade six.”

The bill also explains that any “person born with a medically verifiable diagnosis of disorder or difference of sex development shall be provided the legal protections and accommodations afforded under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and applicable state law.”

In a statement, Reynolds said this bill “safeguards the rights of women and girls.” She also emphasized that “it is common sense to acknowledge the obvious biological differences between men and women.” Yet, “unfortunately, these commonsense protections were at risk because, before I signed this bill, the Civil Rights Code blurred the biological line between the sexes.”

Reynolds continued, “That is unacceptable to me, and it is unacceptable to most Iowans. … We are all children of God, and no law changes that. What this bill does accomplish is to strengthen protections for women and girls, and I believe that is the right thing to do.”

Modern Feminism Makes Women Miserable

The best thing modern feminists could do for women is tell them to reject feminism.

The Institute for Family Studies recently analyzed findings from the annual American Family Survey. It found 37% of conservative women ages 18-40 said they were completely satisfied with life. But only 12% of liberal women that age were. That’s a shocking disparity, but it’s not an outlier finding.

In 2021, Columbia University professors put out a study on depression among 12th graders, looking at data from 2005 to 2018. They found “female liberals reported worse internalizing symptom scores over the study period than all other groups.”

A 2017 study by a Penn State University professor noted “politically conservative participants were significantly more optimistic and satisfied with life than their liberal counterparts.”

A 2008 study in Psychological Science asked, “Why are conservatives happier than liberals?” It cited a 2006 Pew survey showing 47% of conservative Republicans called themselves “very happy,” while only 28% of liberal Democrats did the same.

The researchers from Columbia speculated that political events might have contributed to liberal depression. Republicans made political gains in the 2010s, including the election of then-President Donald Trump. The researchers claimed issues like global warming, structural racism, and pervasive sexism “became unavoidable features of political discourse.”

The implication is that liberals are depressed because they care so much about the world’s problems.

While that may sound noble, stressing out about something that you can’t control isn’t a virtue. It can lead to “learned helplessness.” If people believe their choices won’t improve things, they often give up or make worse choices. Little wonder researchers often connect learned helplessness to depression.

While this is a factor, there’s a deeper explanation.

Feminists originally argued for equal opportunity in voting, education, and the workplace. That happened. But second-wave feminists went further. They disparaged marriage and religion as tools of the patriarchy. They didn’t view children as a source of deep meaning and fulfillment, but rather as an obstacle to career success.

Third- and fourth-wave feminists went beyond that. Many contend that different outcomes between men and women are solely the result of societal expectations. These ideas have gone so far that leftists now claim men can become women. Why some men would willingly give up the power of the patriarchy is never quite explained.

These ideas have gained tremendous cultural power, especially on the Left. As a result, liberals are less likely to be married, go to church, or have kids. But these choices haven’t brought joyous liberation. Just the opposite.

As Brad Wilcox lays out in his book “Get Married,” married men and women are around twice as likely to be very happy as their single counterparts. An obvious factor in that is loneliness. Single childless adults are more than twice as likely as married individuals to say they’re always or almost always lonely, Wilcox noted. Historically, single individuals found community and connection in a church or synagogue. But liberals are less likely to attend religious services.

If women want to be happy, they should embrace what modern feminists falsely claim is the patriarchy.

Thirteen wounded in terrorist car-ramming in central Israel

Thirteen people were injured, including one critically, in a terrorist car-ramming attack at a bus stop near the Karkur Junction, east of Caesarea, according to police and medical officials.

Eli Bin, director-general of the Magen David Adom emergency response group, said that paramedics treated casualties with injuries of varying degrees, including two seriously wounded people. The victim that sustained critical wounds is a 17-year-old girl, MDA confirmed.

Israel Police spokesperson Aryeh Doron told the Channel 12 channel that “after carrying out the car-ramming at the bus stop, the terrorist drove another few hundred meters, hitting an officer and his car.” He was “eliminated” at the scene shortly after the incident, Doron added.

Israeli Police Commissioner Daniel Levy arrived at the scene of the attack.

The terrorist was subsequently identified by authorities as a 53-year-old Palestinian from the Jenin area in nearby northern Samaria who was illegally residing in the Jewish state while married to an Arab citizen of Israel.

The NSA Has Some Sick MF – The NSA’s Secret Sex Chats

The “intelligence community” is one of the most powerful parts of the American national security apparatus. In theory, it works tirelessly to keep the nation safe. But according to internal documents that we obtained, some intelligence agency employees have another on-the-job priority: sex chats.

We have cultivated sources within the National Security Agency—one current employee and one former employee—who have provided chat logs from the NSA’s Intelink messaging program. According to an NSA press official, “All NSA employees sign agreements stating that publishing non-mission related material on Intelink is a usage violation and will result in disciplinary action.” Nonetheless, these logs, dating back two years, are lurid, featuring wide-ranging discussions of sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.

One popular chat topic was male-to-female transgender surgery, which involves surgically removing the penis and turning it into an artificial vagina. “[M]ine is everything,” said one male who claimed to have had gender reconstruction surgery. “[I]’ve found that i like being penetrated (never liked it before GRS), but all the rest is just as important as well.” Another intelligence official boasted that genital surgery allowed him “to wear leggings or bikinis without having to wear a gaff under it.”

Diversity update: Once safe and charming Sweden is now more dangerous than Baghdad…

I’ve been there and know people there who told me that once they started importing the goat herders, it became the rape capital of Europe.

The globalists have peddled a lot of lies. Off the top of our heads is the climate change hoax and COVID sham. But one of the deadliest and life-altering of all their fraudulent initiatives is the “Diversity Is Our Strength” scam.

Turns out, diversity isn’t just a bad idea—it’s downright deadly. It’s a nuclear bomb to tradition, stability, and any culture that isn’t based on Islam.

Just look at Stockholm. Once a peaceful, charming, and thriving city—is now a war zone. Thanks to unchecked migration, parts of Sweden are more dangerous than Baghdad. Bombings are a regular occurrence, and someone is murdered every 28 hours.

This isn’t progress. This is the deliberate destruction of the West, sold to us as strength. And Sweden is just the canary in the coal mine.

These are the Swedes who helped turn their once-great country into a deathtrap, all so they could score some progressive brownie points:

Now, thanks to yet another failed left-wing globalist agenda, there’s full-blown panic in Sweden as the country goes from calm, safe, and peaceful—to a literal hellhole of violence and filth.

Explosions in Stockholm have become so frequent the city’s estate agents are listing ‘no bombings’ in their ‘pro’ columns when advertising properties for neighbourhoods buyers might be unfamiliar with.

Already this month there have been more than 30 bomb attacks including a blast in which an elderly man lost his leg. Last year, a 20-year-old recently graduated teacher was killed in an explosion.

As the property adverts demonstrate, the horror has started to blend into the background. It has become so normal for Swedes to learn that an apartment complex or shopfront has been blown to bits that some attacks barely make the news.

Beware Of Arkancide – AG Pam Bondi: Epstein Documents Are On My Desk, Ready To Be Examined And Released

I wouldn’t have said a word about this as Bubba Clinton is probably on the list as are a list of Clinton friends. One of them will sing like a bird.

President Donald Trump’s new U.S. attorney general, Pam Bondi, alluded to plans on Friday to soon make the explosive documents pertaining to pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s case publicly accessible.

In an appearance with Fox News‘ “America Reports,” Bondi explained that “a lot of documents” pertaining to the deceased pedophile’s case are currently “on her desk” — awaiting examination.

Bondi noted that reviewing and releasing the papers was a “directive” from the GOP president himself, and that she was briefed on them soon after being confirmed to her prominent position in the Trump administration.

Bondi was questioned on the anticipated Epstein document release during a live broadcast on Friday afternoon.

“The [Department of Justice] may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients – [but] will that really happen?” Bondi was asked.

AG Bondi: “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That has been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that, I’m reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That’s all in the process of being reviewed, because that was done at the directive of the president from all of these agencies,” Bondi explained during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside of Washington, D.C.

“Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises. I think promises made, promises kept. And that’s why we’re all there to carry out his directive about making America safe and prosperous.”

“Give Us Back Our Fu*#ing Money.” How Washington Stole Everything.

So essentially the entire town of Washington, D.C. has been stealing. The anomalies are those who are not stealing. $4.7 trillion, almost impossible to trace, represents two-thirds of the annual U.S. budget. And if it’s happening in the U.S., it is happening everywhere: France, Canada, the U.K., Germany, where budgetary processes are probably even more opaque than those of the U.S.

How does the Department of Defence have a $35 trillion black hole?

I used to think of people who worked for the government with a kind of veiled contempt or, in a more benign mood, compassion. I thought of them as pity jobs for those without initiative, as jobs paying off lefty campaigners, as a warehouse for the barely competent.

In my working life, looking at the results of their involvement in America’s rural areas, I hated them for the hell they visited on people unable to fight back.

Almost more than on any other issue, European leaders “made bad policy decisions on migration.”

Though it’s been just a month since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is making his presence felt at home and abroad, from the Department of Government Efficiency to tariffs to setting the stage to negotiate the end of the Russia-Ukraine war.

“What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”

“It’s like the United States: The people were not happy with Joe Biden and his policies. In England, the people are not happy with what’s going on with their leaders, with regulations, the price of living, and they’re willing to do something about it.”

“The bottom line is there are people who don’t believe that Western civilization is something to be prized, treasured, and developed,” Harris said.

“We have nothing to apologize for. We have the strongest economy. We have the strongest military. We’ve preserved freedom a couple of times in Europe, and we’re not going to stop doing that,” the Maryland lawmaker continued. In Europe, the Trump administration is making “a call for Western civilization to bring back the ideals of Western civilization and the success of Western civilization.”

“I think that was brought out at the conference,” Harris said, “and that’s the message that Donald Trump brings—the end of wokeism, economic security, low energy prices, and a nationalistic pride that precedes economic success.”

Though it’s been just a month since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is making his presence felt at home and abroad, from the Department of Government Efficiency to tariffs to setting the stage to negotiate the end of the Russia-Ukraine war. 

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

“What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”

“It’s like the United States: The people were not happy with Joe Biden and his policies. In England, the people are not happy with what’s going on with their leaders, with regulations, the price of living, and they’re willing to do something about it.”

Last week, Vice President JD Vance delivered remarks at an artificial intelligence summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference in Germany. Vance took European nations to task for their regulatory environment on matters ranging from energy to speech to artificial intelligence, and he reasserted America’s national interests in U.S. foreign policy. 

Energy Secretary Chris Wright had his turn to address a European crowd when he virtually joined the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference and lambasted Europe’s energy policies. “Energy realism is critical if you want to have humanism,” he said, specifically addressing Vance’s critique of European energy policy. 

Wright said what’s happening in Europe now is “lunacy.”

“This is impoverishing citizens for the delusion that this is somehow going to make the world a better place,” he said.

Harris told The Daily Signal he was “not surprised at what happened at the Munich Security Conference.”

“I mean, that’s the deep state of Europe,” he said.

“The bottom line is there are people who don’t believe that Western civilization is something to be prized, treasured, and developed,” Harris said.

“We have nothing to apologize for. We have the strongest economy. We have the strongest military. We’ve preserved freedom a couple of times in Europe, and we’re not going to stop doing that,” the Maryland lawmaker continued. In Europe, the Trump administration is making “a call for Western civilization to bring back the ideals of Western civilization and the success of Western civilization.”

“I think that was brought out at the conference,” Harris said, “and that’s the message that Donald Trump brings—the end of wokeism, economic security, low energy prices, and a nationalistic pride that precedes economic success.”

“Donald Trump is going to, once again, make the United States the leader of the free world,” he said.

“In general, I think that it’s reminding Europe that it’s time to get serious again,” Burlison told The Daily Signal. “We need to get serious about our manufacturing. We need to get serious about energy production, and we need to get serious about the threats to national security.”

Though many European elites in government have responded in dismay to the Trump administration’s message to Europe, the people the members of Congress met in London feel differently.

Hageman told The Daily Signal that Vance and Wright took “absolutely the right tack” in engaging with European nations over the past week.

“Energy security is national security,” the Wyoming congresswoman continued. “What you’re seeing of these European countries, and what the U.N. is demanding, is that we all live under energy poverty, and none of us believe in that. We believe in prosperity. I think that that’s exactly the message that Donald Trump and JD Vance are sending, and I think it’s what the European people want.”

“The government and the leadership in Europe for so long has been focusing on ‘net zero’ and carbon and global warming, and all of this nonsense,” Hageman said. “It’s costing their citizenry dearly, and they’re tired of it.”

For Hageman, the new sheriff in town is not only Trump, “the new sheriff in town is common sense and getting back to what governments are supposed to be.”

“The ones that I’ve spoken with are happy that Trump is rolling back regulations and calling Europe out for not [doing so],” said Norman.

DOGE has been a buzzworthy topic in London as well. “With DOGE, Trump and [DOGE chief Elon] Musk are more than investigators. What have they done? They’ve just exposed where the money went.” Europeans are now starting to desire a thorough accounting of where their money has gone, Norman said.

“We can’t continue [on] the same path that’s put us in debt,” Norman said of the reckless spending. “And I think many Europeans feel the same way. They wanted to take the same path Donald Trump is taking, and go a different way.”

“We’ve wasted a lot of time and a lot of money on foolish things,” Burlison said of the West. “America, sadly, has led in some of these foolish wastes, like studying [critical race theory] and this woke ideology and climate. But I think that, given the problems that we’re facing today, Trump is kind of a wake-up call, and it’s kind of the sobering message that Europe and America really needed to hear.”

With tariffs and charting a new path for foreign policy, “Trump is sending a message: Europe has got to defend itself,” Norman said. “Their percentage [of gross domestic product] that they spend is minuscule [compared with] what we spend, and we got a bigger GDP. He’s putting the pressure on them. They’re going to have to make the decision about how to keep their countries safe and I think it’s long time in coming.”

“You can tell, at least at this point, that they’re taking that seriously and kind of walking through what that would mean,” Burlison said of Trump’s policies. “So, I hope that England and the European countries that have been relying on America for so long recognize that America is taking things seriously, but we also need Europe to do so as well.”

Because of her interactions in London, Hageman thinks Britons are “coming around to the Trumpian point of view” because European leaders are not changing a failed course.

“Instead of changing course, instead of fixing this mess they created, “the Wyoming lawmaker said, European leaders “are telling all of you to shut up. That’s what’s happening in Europe and that’s what JD Vance was calling out.”

Almost more than on any other issue, European leaders “made bad policy decisions on migration.”

“It has caused severe issues and problems within these communities throughout their countries, and their response isn’t to say we need to fix this. Their response is to say we’re going to make it illegal for you to point it out,” Hageman said. “I think that it is absolutely fair for JD Vance and all of us to stand up for our brethren, to stand up for our brothers and sisters in Europe, and say we’re not going to allow you tyrants to get away with that.”

Diddy Defense Argues He was ‘Singled Out’ Because He Is Black – NO, It’s Because You Are A Sexual Predator And The Deep State Has No More Use For You

Defense attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are reportedly arguing that federal prosecutors “singled out” the disgraced music mogul because he is black, and claim authorities have demonstrated “bad faith” and “racial animus” in handling the case.

Combs’ attorneys made these assertions in a new court filing seeking to dismiss the music mogul’s prostitution charge, according to a report by ABC News.

In their court filing, defense attorneys claimed the charges against Combs are racially motivated, arguing that “no white person has ever been the target of a remotely similar prosecution” under the Mann Act.

“Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished,” defense attorneys Alexandra Shapiro and Marc Agnifilo wrote.

“Count Three should be dismissed because this is a clear case of selective prosecution,” the attorneys added.

The defense attorneys went on to cite former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), who had “engaged in similar conduct but were never charged under the Act.”

The filing was likely referring to Spitzer having resigned as governor in 2008, amid a prostitution scandal that destroyed his reputation.

The music mogul’s defense team also reportedly argued that the “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” singer had used a popular and well-known escort service to bring people into his sexual activities, which the attorneys suggested is common practice among people of Combs’ status.

“Many couples, including wealthy high-profile couples, involve third parties in their sexual relationships, sometimes for implicit or explicit remuneration,” the filing stated.

“No federal prosecutor, in this district or any other, has targeted the company, its CEO, or its escorts. Nor has any prosecutor previously targeted any customer who purchased escort services from Cowboys 4 Angels,” the attorneys added.

As Breitbart News reported, Combs has been in jail since September 16 following a federal indictment accusing him of more than a decade of abusing, threatening, and coercing women and others, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes.

Apart from the federal indictment, the Buzbee Law Firm and the AVA Law Group announced in October that they would be filing at least 120 separate lawsuits on behalf of alleged victims accusing Combs, his associates, and other entities of additional crimes.

Weeks later, batches of lawsuits were filed against Combs — and in the subsequent months, additional suits continued to roll out.

How About That – DEI = DIE? Operator That Crashed Delta Plane Was Obsessed with Removing Men from Cockpits

It’s remarkable that they haven’t identified the pilots. It’s almost like they are trying to hide who they are. I bet if they were two white guys, the names would have been out the day of the crash.

In Marxist regimes, no one suffers more than the people whom Marxists deceived on their way to acquiring power. The poor, whose interests Marxists claimed to protect, experience only deeper poverty, exploitation, and oppression.

The Western world’s recent obsession with diversity, equity, and inclusion policies constitutes a similar phenomenon, which stands to reason. After all, DEI rests on the same ideological foundation as Marxism.

Wednesday on the social media platform X, the prominent conservative account “End Wokeness” posted a disturbing pair of older tweets from Endeavor Air suggesting that the operator prioritized all-female crews.

Endeavor Air was the operator of the Delta Connection flight 4819, which suffered a harrowing but non-fatal crash Monday when one of its passenger jets lost a wing, erupted in flames and rolled upside down after landing on a Canadian runway.

“We’re committed to delivering more ‘unmanned’ flights like these,” a 2017 Endeavor Air tweet read. A photo of four women, two of whom appeared to be dressed as pilot and co-pilot, accompanied the tweet.

Likewise, a similar tweet and photo from 2022 showed another “unmanned flight” featuring four women.

And another take on the same story with even more evidence

It’s going to come out sooner or later. I betting on female pilots at this point.

DOGE Proves Our Tax Money Has Been Stolen, Looted & Wasted. President Trump Should Announce Suspension of Tax Day on April 15th…a National Tax Holiday…Reparations to Taxpayers…and Lie Detector Tests.

We’ve been robbed. Our tax money has been looted, stolen, and wasted. Beyond the imagination of most Americans.

But not beyond my imagination. 

Mohammed Ali once said, “It ain’t bragging if you can back it up.” Well, I can back it up.

I’ve spent the past decade on my TV and radio shows reporting, warning and screaming from the highest mountaintops that…

*Politicians and government employees are robbing and raping taxpayers.

*Politicians and government employees are crooked and corrupt.

*Politicians and government employees live by the credo, “We make $170,000 a year, PLUS all we can steal.”

*Politicians and government employees are lazy and incompetent, don’t know how to do an honest day’s work, and live by stealing from taxpayers.

*There are way too many government employees. We could operate government just fine by firing half of the government employees.

*Politicians and government employees have stolen and looted TRILLIONS of dollars from taxpayers. That’s why people making $170,000 a year are retiring as multi-millionaires. That’s not possible.

After paying taxes, and paying for kids, and college educations, and mortgages, and property taxes, and often alimony too- no one can become a multi-millionaire on $170,000 a year. Something is wrong.

*Politicians and government employees are getting filthy rich by directly stealing taxpayer money…and also by awarding government spending and contracts to their friends and relatives…and by taking kickbacks from whoever is awarded government money…and from taking bribes into offshore bank accounts from our foreign enemies like China, the Mexican Drug Cartels and Iran…and from high-paying no show jobs, stock options and insider trading scoops given to their relatives from big corporations and lobbyists.

Western Media Scrambles To cover up White Genocide Concerns In South Africa – Kill All The White People, Then Nothing Works

The western public has been hearing a lot about “genocide” in recent years, from the genocide of indigenous peoples, to the genocide of Palestinians to the genocide of trans people.  The demand is that these concerns be taken seriously whether they are realistic or exaggerated, that reparations be distributed and that refugees be taken in by the millions.  The underlying narrative is always the same – “White colonialism” is the ultimate culprit behind every social injustice in the world and marginalized minorities are perpetual victims that require protection.

But what happens when white people are the minority under attack?

That’s a question that’s simply not acceptable according to the establishment media, and any suggestion that such a thing is possible is treated as an act of xenophobia.  White people can never be considered a “marginalized minority”.  This is the conundrum the western public often encounters when the issue of South Africa is broached.  

The country’s well known history of segregation and Apartheid, which was dismantled from 1990 to 1993, is publicized and dramatized constantly in the media and by Hollywood.  However, the aftermath is barely discussed. 

Nelson Mandela, a member of the South African Communist Party and a co-founder of the terrorist group “uMkhonto we Sizwe” in 1961, was elected the first black president of the nation in 1994 and rebranded as a civil rights hero akin to Martin Luther King.  After a honeymoon period of around ten years the country’s economy went into a steady spiral.  Unemployment has now exploded to over 30%.

As with all countries under socialist/communist influence, the habit when faced with economic crisis is to divert blame to convenient scapegoats and steal resources wherever possible.  Often, farmers are the people most abused by leftist governments.  In the case of South Africa, such abuse is rationalized by social justice ideology and the fact that most of the farmers are white (therefore, they deserve to be robbed or killed).  

Despite media attempts to suppress news of white genocide there is an ongoing problem of violent attacks on whites in the region.  It has become commonplace for families to hide within gated homes with steel doors (inside and outside) due to persistent targeting for robbery, rape and murder.  Many are considering leaving the country entirely.

I’d leave too.

It’s ironic that once they took the farms from the whites, there was a food shortage. The country went to shit and nothing works. They can’t even keep the electricity on

What The Rich Elites Trying To Rule The World Are Up To Next

While there is a discussion of AI and what it currently does is below, the One World WEF / Davos / Rule the World group looks like it’s trying to combine immortality/AI and humans to create superhumans. Maybe I should say cyborgs? People have tried to rule over others since the beginning of time. It lasts for about a generation in history and then someone else takes over.

As usual, they are up to no good, trying to play God and use their money to separate themselves from the rest of the world so they can rule it……

Transhumanists know this, and as a result, are seeking to merge biology with technology. Converting a human into a Cyborg seems more plausible than making a computer alive. Transhumanism and the bio-digital convergence is driven by a few delusional beliefs. One is a quest for immortality. These fantasies include uploading consciousness into the cloud or creating a biosynthetic framework for the human body. This delusion is promoted as human augmentation and ridding the world of disease. Transhumanism is propelled by blind faith in technology and a complete disconnect from the innate Divine Spark that exists within every human being.

There is a mass media concerted effort with predictive programming to portray Transhumanism as inevitable. There is also a concerted effort to promote AI as running everything as inevitable.

As I’ve previously written about, a Swiss company called Final Spark is using brain matter called organoids to house AI and promotes it as more energy efficient and evolutionary. Final Spark’s neural platform can be leased like any other data storage. The brain matter is being used as hardware for the AI software.

Artificial Intelligence is in fact, ‘Artificial’ Intelligence. It is not authentic intelligence. It is a facsimile. AI is no more intelligent than a calculator is. A calculator can add faster and more accurately than a human can, yet it is not intelligent anymore than a cog or any other component is in machinery. Computers can carry out tasks more quickly and efficiently than the human mind, but there is no cognition involved. There is no actual discernment.

I would argue that AI is simply more advanced computers that simulate human intelligence using algorithms that complete higher level tasks that can engage in simulated problem solving, decision making, or language understanding.

In reality, the computer processes language through pattern recognition, analyzing context, syntax, and intent based on the data previously trained on.

This makes AI seem more “intelligent” than a calculator, but the core process is still computation. It is the complexity and scale of the computation that makes it appear intelligent.

AI models, like neural networks, perform billions of calculations across vast datasets, enabling them to handle complex tasks. The computer can then apply learned patterns to new, unseen data, making it seem more adaptive than a traditional calculator. It is a bit abstract. The math is hidden behind layers of algorithms, so the user interacts with responses which are in language form rather than seeing the calculations.

While AI is computational, it differs from a basic calculator in its ability to handle ambiguity and complexity. A calculator performs fixed operations with clear inputs and outputs.

AI, on the other hand, deals with probabilistic, uncertain, or incomplete inputs, using statistical models to generate plausible outputs or responses. This makes it feel more “intelligent,” even though it’s still just computation.

AI is, at its core, an advanced form of computation applied to non-mathematical domains. It doesn’t “understand” these domains, it processes them mathematically, using patterns and probabilities. The “advanced calculator” is useful because AI’s intelligence is an illusion created by complex math, not genuine comprehension or reasoning beyond its algorithms.

AI is basically a probabilistic response calculator that is applied to areas outside of mathematics. The computer analyzes the input and calculates the likelihood of various words, phrases, or structures based on what it has previously experienced in similar contexts. Then the computer selects or generates a response that aligns with the highest probabilities, adjusted for coherence and relevance. Even when handling novel queries, it relies on probabilistic patterns, combining them in ways that fit the input or question.

‘Literally Unwatchable’: China-Enabling NBA Gets Roasted Into Oblivion After Incredibly Abysmal All-Star Game

I don’t know, I didn’t watch it, but here’s what happened. The players even said it sucked

NBA All-Star Weekend is so cooked.

When it comes to the league’s annual event, it’s no secret that a lot of people have lost interest, and to the NBA fans who still exist, there’s a lot of grumblings among them. And those grumblings and lack of interest get worse and worse as time goes along.

In an attempt to fix up things, or at least put a Band-Aid on it, the league decided to try out a four-team tournament this year that would replace the typical All-Star Game.

The four squads competing were picked by the co-hosts of “Inside the NBA,” playing in games where the team who reaches 40 points first is the winner. It ended up being Team Shaq vs. Team Charles Barkley in the championship, with Team Shaq getting the victory that absolutely nobody cared about.

The product was horrible, and I mean horrible. So horrible that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James didn’t even play Sunday. It was that bad.

Hell, it was so terrible that Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green straight up said it “sucks” right on live national television. My man didn’t give a damn!

Bad Timing – Hours Before Crash, Delta VP Was Quoted Defying DEI Rollback, Insisting DEI Is ‘Critical to Our Business’

Bet he wants to take that one back

On the same day that a Delta Air Lines plane had a crash landing in Toronto, one of the company’s senior executives was quoted defending its diversity practices.

Delta Flight 4819 was involved in an accident at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday afternoon.

Pictures of the plane upside down on the runway swiftly went viral as the company revealed that there were 18 injuries, including two people in critical condition, but no fatalities.

Toronto was dealing with fast winds and winter weather at the time of the crash.

The incident came after multiple other high-profile aviation accidents and as the industry faces criticism for diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

Those dynamics were at play with the Toronto crash, as well.

Stabbing Incident in Austria: Syrian Asylum-Seeker Arrested

A Syrian asylum-seeker allegedly killed a 14-year-old boy and seriously injured five people in a stabbing spree Saturday in southern Austria, the BBC reported.

The suspect, 23, allegedly carried out the attacks around 4 p.m. local time near the main square of the alpine city of Villach, on the border with Italy and Slovenia, according to the outlet. A delivery worker then reportedly rammed his vehicle into the suspect before two police officers detained him at the scene. The delivery worker — himself a Syrian — said he witnessed the attack while driving by and intentionally attacked the suspect, the outlet reported.

Local reports identified the alleged attacker as “Ahmad G” and reported that he laughed and smiled while carrying out the attack, according to Metro. The suspected stabber had a temporary residence permit while awaiting the decision on his asylum application, the BBC reported. (RELATED: African Migrant Stabbed Stranger To Death Because Israel ‘Killed Children’: Police)

Police halted all train travel amid initial reports of a second potential stabber but later told the BBC only one attacker was involved.

The food delivery worker was identified as Alaaeddin Alhalabi by Austrian outlet 5 Minuten. Alhalabi claimed he was driving to deliver an order when he happened upon the gory stabbing scene, he told the outlet.

Why Men Should Be Secret Service Agents, And Why The Movies Depicting Females As Hero’s Are Woke

Just like the head of the fire department in LA said if a man needs a woman to rescue him from a fire, he might be in the wrong place, now this:

An awful incident occurred involving a female Secret Service trainee, which could have had fatal consequences.

Real Clear Politics’ Susan Crabtree reported Thursday night that the trainee in question shot herself in the leg at the Secret Service’s Rowley Training Center. Following the shooting, the trainee was airlifted to a Baltimore hospital emergency room for treatment.

Crabtree reveals the incident involved an accidental discharge of a weapon. There is no word yet on her condition.

Crabtree notes that it’s “extremely rare” for an agent or trainee to shoot themselves, though one previously did so back in September. That incident involved a male secret service agent.

Failing to handle a weapon properly means severe consequences for a career Secret Service employee training a recruit.

“Unsafe weapons handling is a serious violation and grounds for disqualification/dismissal during training of a new recruit,” a source in the Secret Service community explained to Crabtree. “It would amount to formal disciplinary action for a career [Secret Service] employee.”

This incident occurred following ample evidence that the Secret Service’s DEI policies under the Biden regime played a key role in Trump’s near-assassination on July 13, 2024, and the murder of rallygoer Corey Comperatore.

Crabtree notes that under the Biden administration’s sweeping DEI executive order, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle signed onto the 30×30 national DEI initiative.

The initiative calls for all law enforcement agencies in the country to have at least 30% of their forces be women by the year 2030. One reason for this is women make fewer arrests.

The initiative and the way Cheatle implemented it became the focus of an online petition highlighting whistleblowers’ concerns that it was harming the Secret Service across the board.

Crabtree also notes the petition was circulating before both assassination attempts against Trump.

According to Crabtree, female agents and uniformed officers made up 24% of law enforcement agencies by the time Cheatle left, 6% shy of the Biden regime’s final goal.

It also proves the Super Bowl commercial about a girl beating guys in flag football was not only woke, but just not true.

Google Calendar Cuts Pride Month, Black History Month And More Observances—Here Are All The Companies Rolling Back DEI

Good, kill it dead. It just divides the country and is a Marxist tactic by Holder and Obama.

Google Calendar no longer marks the start of cultural observances including Pride Month, Black History Month and Women’s History Month, marking the latest major company policy changes in a wave of backlash against DEI that has become a central issue of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Timeline

Feb. 10Days after it cut diversity hiring goals, a Google spokesperson told CNBC it no longer marks the start of cultural observances like Pride Month and Black History Month because “maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable,” though it said it began making these changes in mid-2024.

Feb. 7NPR first reported more than a dozen companies have pared back, or removed altogether, references to diversity, equity and inclusion in their 2024 annual reports to investors, including Pepsi, GM, Google, Disney, GE, Intel, PayPal, Chipotle and Comcast (GM removed all references to diversity, NPR reported, while Pepsi removed nearly all references after writing in its investor report last year DEI is a “competitive advantage.”)

Feb. 7Professional services company Accenture said it would no longer use diversity targets in hiring and promoting, citing the Trump administration’s push for private companies to roll back DEI goals, the company’s chief executive Julie Sweet said in a memo to staff, Bloomberg reported.

Feb. 7Amazon’s annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for 2024 omitted a section included in the company’s prior annual report, which indicated Amazon has a focus on “inclusion and diversity” in hiring (the news was first reported by CNBC).

Feb. 6The government-funded railroad service Amtrak confirmed to Bloomberg it would roll back its DEI programs and policies, which appeared to include efforts to hire and promote diverse employees and employee resource groups, according to the company’s 2023 diversity report.

Feb. 5Google informed its employees in an email that it will no longer have hiring targets around improving diverse representation among its staff, The Wall Street Journal first reported, and it is evaluating whether to continue other DEI programs and release DEI reports—though it will continue having resource groups for underrepresented staff members.

Jan. 28The Smithsonian Institution told employees its diversity office is closing as a “first step” to address Trump’s new federal policy that declared DEI programs as “dangerous” and “demeaning,” the Washington Post reported, and the link to the institution’s 2022 diversity and inclusion initiatives report and link to its equal employment opportunity policy are broken.

Jan. 24Target, which had already curbed its LGBTQ Pride merchandise line in response to conservative backlash, announced it would pull back on racial hiring targets, end its Racial Equity Action and Change program and cease participation in external diversity surveys, with chief community impact and equity officer Kiera Fernandez telling employees in a memo the decisions were made based on “many years of data” and an effort to stay “in step with the evolving external landscape.”

Jan. 17The FBI confirmed in a statement to Forbes it had closed its DEI office—a frequent target of attacks by Republicans—in December, prompting President-elect Donald Trump to demand the agency “preserve and retain all records” relating to the shuttered office as he accused the FBI of “corruption” in a Truth Social post.

Jan. 10Amazon said it would roll back what it called “outdated programs and materials” in an internal memo, though it did not specify what would be discontinued, while certain programs aimed at addressing disparities would continue until the disparities are eliminated

Jan. 10Meta said in a memo the company ended several programs intended to increase its hiring of diverse candidates, including its equity and inclusion training programs, after Janelle Gale, Meta’s vice president of people, said the “legal and policy landscape” surrounding DEI efforts in the U.S. is “changing.”

Jan. 6McDonald’s announced it would abandon specific diversity targets, cease participation in external surveys that measure company demographics and would rename its diversity team to “Global Inclusion Team,” citing the Supreme Court decision that ended affirmative action at universities and similar DEI walkbacks by other corporations, though it said it would continue to report demographic information in its own annual report.

Nov. 25, 2024Walmart said it would abandon its DEI commitments, including winding down a Center for Racial Equity nonprofit it had founded in 2020 with a $100 million, 5-year commitment, ceasing third-party sellers from offering certain LGBTQ-themed products on its website, no longer participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s external surveys and phasing out the term “diversity, equity and inclusion” in company documents.

Nov. 1, 2024Boeing dismantled its global diversity, equity and inclusion department and redirected its staff to its human resources department to focus on talent acquisition and employee experience, Bloomberg reported.

Sept. 4, 2024Molson Coors, which had in 2023 defended a feminist-themed ad that sparked conservative backlash, said it would abandon supplier diversity quotas, shift DEI training sessions to focus on business objectives and stop participating in external diversity surveys, despite previously receiving a perfect 100 from the Human Rights Campaign for its LGBTQ policies.

Aug. 28, 2024Lowe’s said in an internal memo it would combine its employee resource groups into one umbrella organization, cease participating in HRC surveys and would stop participating in external events like Pride parades.

Aug. 28, 2024Ford Motor Co. informed employees it would stop participating in external diversity surveys and would evolve its employee resource groups to focus on networking and mentorship to all employees, citing the evolving “external and legal environment related to political and social issues.”

Aug. 22, 2024Jack Daniel’s manufacturer Brown-Forman told employees it would no longer tie executive compensation to DEI progress, remove workforce and supplier diversity goals and cease participating in the HRC index, citing the shifting “legal and external landscape.”

Aug. 19, 2024Harley-Davidson said it abandoned its “DEI function” in April and said it does not utilize diversity quotas for hiring or suppliers, and that it would no longer participate in HRC surveys or partner with sponsors that do not focus on its “loyal riding community.”

July 16, 2024Farm equipment manufacturer John Deere said it would no longer support “cultural awareness” events like Pride parades and would audit company documents to remove “socially-motivated messages,” adding that diversity quotas and pronoun identification have never been company policy, though it said it would continue to internally track employee diversity.

Contra

Costco has refused to back down from its DEI policies. The company’s shareholders overwhelmingly voted to reject a proposal that would have obligated the company to review the potential risks of maintaining its DEI initiatives, with more than 98% of shareholders voting against the proposal. The board said it “believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary.” Apple’s board similarly urged shareholders to reject a proposal raised by the same think tank, accusing the group of “inappropriately” attempting to “restrict Apple’s ability to manage its own ordinary business operations.” Delta Airlines also said it remains committed to DEI on a Jan. 10 earnings call. Peter Carter, the company’s executive vice president for external affairs, told a reporter the company is not reevaluating DEI or sustainability policies because “they are actually critical to our business,” stating DEI is “about talent and that’s been our focus.” Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins told Axios “a diverse workforce is better” because “there’s too much business value.” Robbins said the DEI backlash is being treated as a “single issue” when it is really “made up of 150 different things, and maybe seven of them got a little out of hand,” but those few things are “going to get solved and then you’re going to be left with common sense.” Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing said at a press conference the company stands “firmly behind” its “integral” DEI programs, stating the company can “see how Deutsche Bank has benefited from it,” making it the latest bank to defend DEI after conservative groups filed shareholder proposals at various banks urging them to review their diversity policies. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at a press conference ahead of Super Bowl LIX the NFL—which requires teams to interview at least two minority candidates for vacant head coach, general manager and coordinator positions as part of its broader commitment to diversity—will continue its diversity efforts “because we’ve not only convinced ourselves, I think we’ve proven … that it does make the NFL better,” and he added: “We’re not in this because it’s a trend to get into it or a trend to get out of it.”

My Take On The Superbowl

I watched because I’ve seen every Superbowl played. I know a great game and a nail biter. I have had my team in it 5 times and we are 2-3, but have a perfect season.

The game.

It sucked. The Chiefs were never in it. They were the 3 peat favorites but looked like the Panthers or Giants for 3 quarters. Mr. MVP Mahommes wasn’t Superman and neither was Kelce.

Even the score was closer than the game was.

Taylor Swift

Speaking of Kelce, she got booed because the world is (has been) tired of her ass and his. I think he caught a couple of passes that didn’t affect the game and she hasn’t been a good luck charm since Kamala.

Trump

For once, he got cheered by the majority of people. It’s either because they were so tired of being shit on by the Biden team, or (the hating half) just want things fixed and he’s doing what he said. The people who love him always will. I think the country wants him to do good so we start doing good again.

The NFL – They stuck with the racist Lift up your voice and sing, the black national anthem promoting racial divide. We are one nation with one National Anthem. People weren’t happy ith it and the rendition wasn’t that great. Roger Goodell needs to cut the woke crap

The commercials. Lame commercials crashed and burned

The lamest ever. No creative taste great/less filling. Instead, we are trying to recover from Dylan Mulvaney blowing a Bud Light can while grossing out the rest of the country to trannies and tanking the brand for life. I don’t know if they will ever recover.

The PC police, cancel culture and woke patrol made sure to kill any creativity. The AI influence fell way short of Madison Avenue circa the 80’s and 90’s

Ben Affleck was bad last year and surprisingly got worse this year.

The flag football commercial reminded me of Marvel movies. It’s the only time in life when girls can beat men, when it’s fake. No one believes it and the feminist tripe is getting as stale as DEI.

Nike did this:

While it’s true that women’s sports don’t generate a ton of revenue — the WNBA is behind an Australian cricket league, for example — most people, whether male or female, are not going to fill stadiums. Less than 2 percent of college players go pro. When it comes to going to college, though, the balance currently favors the fairer sex, with 47 percent of women 25-34 attaining degrees whereas only 37 percent of their male counterparts achieve that. The disparity exists across race and ethnicity. 

They’re not doing so badly in the professional world either, with 52 percent of “management, professional, and related occupations” going to women. Given the trends in higher education, one doesn’t have to be Nostradamus to predict which direction that trendline will go over the coming years. 

In other words, Nike’s big celebration of women — which, again, kudos for highlighting actual women this time — is demeaning. It sells a false reality they must overcome, a ceiling that no longer exists. It treats women as less than. It’s also, to reiterate, a huge misread of the current vibe shift. 

It’s 2025, y’all. “Diversity, equity, and inclusion” is out, even though I just used the more inclusive term “y’all” rather than “guys.” People are tired of such nonsense. Also, Always solved all these problems with its #LikeAGirl campaign back in 2014

Halftime

Kendrick Lamar‘s Super Bowl halftime performance in New Orleans on Sunday drew criticism from some fans, who labeled it the ‘worst halftime show ever.’ Fresh off his Grammy
wins, the rapper, 37, didn’t seem to carry that momentum into his
performance at the Caesars Superdome, as he hit the stage before the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs.The
Pulitzer Prize winner showcased his lyrical prowess as he started out
the performance on top of a car before taking a swipe at his hip hop rival Drake, 38.Despite Drake recently suing his and Lamar’s record label,
Universal Music Group, over the controversial diss song, Not Like Us,
which calls Drake a ‘certified pedophile’, Kendrick still performed the
song, however, he omitted the word. It
seems the musician opted not to say the word so as not to trigger
another lawsuit, as right before he started rapping he told the crowd,
‘I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.’ 

The only thing they could do to make it worse, they did. Samuel L. Jackson dressed as Uncle Sam, but might as well have been Uncle Tom, Dick or Harry. He hates America and Trump and if you want a racist, look no further than him.

A lot of money was spent for a big nothing. None of it was good this year other than the Eagles, the only group to show up. They deserved to win, but they played a JV team so it wasn’t that big of a win.

Even Philly is still destroying its own town in celebration. A fitting end to one of the worst games and productions since the Packers Beat the Chiefs.

Football is over now until August. We can settle in to F1, Tour de France and other things more interesting than the Super Bowl, or the playoffs for that matter. It wasn’t that great of a season.

Bud Light Attempts Comback, But Doesn’t – The Sad Saga

As you enjoy the Super Bowl on Sunday, pay special attention to one of the 30-second ads that will be airing during the time-outs.

The ad, which features Shane Gillis, Post Malone, and NFL great Peyton Manning having fun at a wild barbecue, fueled by bright-blue cans of Bud Light beer, is no ordinary TV commercial. With its almost cartoonish celebration of masculine excess, the spot communicates two conventional beer-commercial messages: Bud Light is fun, and Bud Light is for guys. What makes it notable, though, is a third point, one it communicates only by implication: Bud Light is really, really sorry.

Bud Light is still trying to make up with the customer base it alienated on April 1, 2023. On that day, a brand that had been the top-selling beer in America for over two decades launched a social media campaign that would rock its customers, and not in a good way. Starring a transgender activist, Dylan Mulvaney, it celebrated Mulvaney’s first year of “girlhood.” Bud Light even sent Mulvaney a personalized can to mark this milestone date in Mulvaney’s transition from biological male to transgender woman, which millions had already followed on Instagram and TikTok.

This was not an April Fools’ Day prank as some believed, but a serious effort by the world’s largest beer company, Anheuser-Busch InBev, to “rebrand” its product.

Top 5 Failed Democrat Initiatives That Cost Americans a Fortune

The Biden-Harris era was marked by failed Bidenomics and a steep decline in financial well-being for the majority of American families. The figures speak for themselves. Inflation rates hit highs of 8% in 2022. The national debt saw an increase from $27.8 trillion in January 2021 to $33 trillion in January 2025. 

The way the Democrats spend money is reckless and has a direct impact on the economy. There are five controversial initiatives of the Biden-Harris administration that resulted in dramatic failures and cost American taxpayers a fortune.

The CHIPS Act

The CHIPS Act was designed to provide the domestic semiconductor industry with $79 billion in subsidies and loans. However, the initiative failed to deliver. Once a dominant player in consumer and professional CPUs, Intel is now caught in a very unfavorable situation. 

The bill was marred by woke climate and environmental requirements that hindered the development of the industry in the U.S. Moreover, necessary actions against leading semiconductor manufacturers, such as Taiwan, were not taken in a timely manner. 

The idea behind the CHIPS Act is sound, and we must work on securing our leadership in computer and AI technologies. The new administration is fully aware of this and will take a different approach by imposing various tariffs.

Affordable Connectivity Program

The Broadband Connectivity Act, with its Affordable Connectivity Program, is a $42 billion initiative aimed at improving broadband internet access for households across the country. Initially, the bill had bipartisan support and held great promise for making a better living for many Americans.

Alas, the reality turned out to be completely different. Democrats pushed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements and failed to establish fast and convenient verification processes for applicants. This predetermined that the initiative would be inefficient. As of January 2025, many communities are reported to face hurdles due to inadequate connectivity.

Inflation Reduction Act

The Inflation Reduction Act, an incredible $1.2 Trillion dollar initiative that pundits dubbed a “last-minute spending spree.” Given the current economic climate marked by high inflation rates, such a surge in spending taxpayer money is not just a controversial move, but a dire threat to the Trump’s administration’s efforts to address issue.

Student Loan Forgiveness

Graphic: X Screenshot

Announced in August 2022, the initiative is aimed to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loans for eligible borrowers. The program, part of Biden’s campaign promises and often ruled unconstitutional by federal courts and the Supreme Court, was eventually said to disproportionally benefit higher-income individuals who attended college. It cost taxpayers around $316 billion.

Failed Military Foreign Policy

The withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 marked a pivotal moment in American foreign policy. Some pundits argue the move portrayed the United States under Joe Biden as a weak and militarily incapable nation. In other words, a loser whose opinions and interests might be easily ignored by China or Russia. 

The U.S. left behind approximately $7 billion worth of military equipment. It included about 80 helicopters, 600 armored vehicles, and other assets like some 350,000 weapons. The American military presence in Afghanistan provided a vital influence tool in the region as well as served as a remote frontier to combat serious threats like ISIS terrorists far from our borders. 

Moreover, almost 20 years of military operations in Afghanistan cost U.S. taxpayers an incredible $2.3 trillion. All the efforts, all the lives of American soldiers given to establish a robust defense against terrorist threat were wasted by the Biden administration. 

Joe Biden’s reaction to the war in Ukraine, which broke out in early 2022, has been a heavy burden on the U.S. budget with more than $200 billion worth of military and direct financial aid. The Biden administration clearly underperformed as the White House neither proposed a sustainable victory plan to defeat Putin nor negotiated for peace. 

Despite numerous statements from prominent Democrats that Russia must be stopped, the flow of donations in money and materials seemed to have no ultimate purpose and the support was given only because of the argument that something had to be done. Furthermore, Democrats ordered federal and state agencies to make donations, like firefighting equipment provided by California’s First Responders and others.

Top 20 Insane Things USAID Did With My Money

USAID appears to be an employment agency for Democrats and RINOs. I asked AI to describe 20 of the most outrageous programs this rogue agency funded under the Biden/Harris administration.

1. Hamas Tunnel Network Support:

USAID allegedly funded a $310 million project in 2016 for a Palestinian cement factory. This project, managed by a company called Sanad, was accused of aiding Hamas in constructing their extensive tunnel network in Gaza, as per posts on X.

2. Hezbollah Support:

There have been claims that USAID funding indirectly supports Hezbollah through the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), which some assert are influenced by Hezbollah, though direct evidence in public reports is sparse.

3. Worldwide Censorship:According to some reports, USAID has been linked to funding projects that critics argue are used for censorship or control of information, particularly through support for media projects in countries like Ukraine, which sparked debates about media independence and U.S. influence over global journalism.

4. Funding Terror Organizations via NGOs:

USAID has been criticized for funding NGOs with known or suspected ties to terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hamas, and Hezbollah. For instance, there are reports of USAID money going to organizations linked to these groups through intermediaries.

5. Sectarian Violence in Israel:

Just 10 days before the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, USAID funded $500,000 to address sectarian violence in Israel, which some critics saw as misallocated or ill-timed funding.

6. Covid-19 and EcoHealth Alliance Funding:

USAID provided millions to EcoHealth Alliance, known for its controversial bat virus research in Wuhan, contributing to conspiracy theories about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

7. Al Qaeda-Linked Groups in Syria:

There have been allegations that USAID-funded meals ended up with al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria, indicating a lack of oversight in aid distribution.

8. Controversial Projects in Gaza:

USAID has been involved in funding projects in Gaza, with some funds allegedly going to organizations with ties to Hamas, like the Bayader Association, which hosted Hamas officials.

9. LGBT Rights in Controversial Contexts:

Millions were spent on promoting LGBT rights in countries where such initiatives are highly controversial, potentially risking backlash against local communities. Meaning the funds were likely siphoned off by various Democrat interest groups.

10. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Projects:

Funding for DEI initiatives in places like Serbia and Ireland were criticized as frivolous or misaligned with developmental needs.

11. Feminist Digital Spaces:

A $6 million project to transform digital spaces to reflect feminist democratic principles has been seen by some as ideological overreach. I don’t mind feminists having digital spaces, but I do mind paying for them.

12. Contraceptives in Developing Countries:

While aimed at health improvement, funding for personalized contraceptives has been criticized as culturally insensitive or misallocated. I don’t even mind this effort, just not $400 per condom.

13. Support for UNRWA Despite Controversies:

USAID continued funding UNRWA, despite allegations of Hamas infiltration within the organization, which has been a point of contention.

14. Green Transportation in Eastern Europe:

A $25 million project for promoting green transportation in Georgia, which some view as an overreach of U.S. influence on local policy.

15. Photography as Peacebuilding:

Funding for a project involving Arab and Jewish photographers was seen as an odd use of funds for peace efforts.

16. Combatting Disinformation in Kazakhstan:

$4.5 million was allocated to combat disinformation, which is another term for government censorship.

17. Support for Controversial NGOs:

USAID has funded NGOs with controversial political stances, which has led to accusations of promoting U.S. political agendas abroad.

18. Funding Projects Without Proper Oversight:

Several reports from the USAID Office of Inspector General suggest that there’s been a lack of stringent oversight on how funds are utilized, leading to potential embezzlement.

19. Healthcare Including Condoms in Sensitive Areas:

There’s been political uproar over funding healthcare projects, including the distribution of condoms, in regions like Gaza, where it’s used to question the appropriateness of U.S. aid.

20 Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees in Conflict Zones:

Funding in conflict zones like Gaza and the West Bank to “miscellaneous foreign awardees” without clear accountability or transparency.

People need to go to prison for these misallocations of taxpayer funds.

Crimes include theft, embezzlement, mail fraud and likely many more.

Just remember, COVID-19 was never bad enough to SHUT DOWN the BORDER

  • The COVID-19 pandemic was marked by heavy-handed government mandates, fear-mongering propaganda, and the promotion of “safe and effective” vaccines, while open borders allowed millions of untested illegal immigrants to enter the country.
  • Despite the government’s strict measures to control the spread of COVID-19, such as lockdowns, social distancing, and mandatory vaccinations, there was no infectious disease testing at the southern U.S. border for four years.
  • The contradiction between the government’s strict pandemic measures and the lack of border control raises questions about the true motivations behind these policies, such as vaccine promotion, control over the population, and manipulation of elections.
  • The author suggests that the pandemic may have been a “scamdemic” aimed at promoting vaccinations, controlling personal freedoms, and influencing elections, ultimately leading to a loss of trust in government institutions.

It’s hard to see straight during a wicked storm, and nary a human knew all the damage that was coming from the Covid tsunami. It was difficult to make judgment calls while the Pharma Industrial Complex was shoveling heaps of propaganda and fear-mongering mandates down everyone’s throats. The Biden Regime and the talking heads at the CDC made sure we all knew that if we came within 6 feet of another human who was infected, we would surely catch the Wuhan flu and die. Wear your mask, social distance, and every store and restaurant that is not “essential” is ordered by the Orwellian government to shut down, until “further notice.” We must flatten the curve, or else.

Then came the deadly, vascular clotting, gene mutating, cell tricking, super “safe and effective” nanoparticle clot shots, double-masking advice, and lockdowns across the country, enforced at gunpoint in some places. But wait, one thing everyone seemed to forget about during all the mayhem. Open borders. Apparently, illegal immigrants are automatically immune to all gain-of-function viruses created in laboratories and cannot catch them, spread them, or even just be carriers of them. How convenient for the drug-running, human trafficking, vote stealing Biden Regime and the Fauci Flu cult.

Another Conspiricy Theory Comes True. FBI Taken Off Of Pedophile Cases To Go After Jan Sixers

Bastards.

Remember when the leftist media screamed that the news about FBI agents being taken off pedophile cases in order to pursue J6ers was a conspiracy theory? Turns out it was true. 5,000 FBI agents were tasked with pursuing the folks that simply walked into the Capitol building that day instead of handling serious cases of pedophilia.

After thousands of ordinary people were arrested and charged with misdemeanors, put in prison in horrific conditions, with at least one of them committing suicide, it turns out the FBI really was sic’d on them by the Biden administration. The toll on children was horrific, as some of them even committed suicide.

Carnage: Trump Cuts ‘Environmental Justice’ Programs, Puts Nearly 200 EPA Staffers on Leave

You love to see it.

The Trump Administration not only cut “environmental justice” programs at the Environmental Protection Agency, they put nearly 200 staffers on leave.

According to reports, the staffers were called into a meeting on Thursday afternoon where they were informed that they were being placed on leave.

“Effective immediately, you are being placed on administrative leave with full pay and benefits. This administrative leave is not being done for any disciplinary purpose,” the email stated, according to Politico.

“Career staff made determinations on which Office of Environmental Justice employees had statutory duties or core mission functions,” EPA spokesperson Molly Vaseliou said in a statement. “As such, 168 staffers were placed on administrative leave as their function did not relate to the agency’s statutory duties or grant work. EPA is in the process of evaluating new structure and organization to ensure we are meeting our mission of protecting human health and the environment for all Americans.”

Vaccine Damaged In UK Get Ignored – Vaccine-Injured Tell UK COVID Inquiry They Are “An Uncomfortable Truth”

Family members of those harmed by vaccines told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry they were forced to form their own support systems after being ignored by the authorities and made to feel like “an uncomfortable truth” of the rollout.

Kate Scott, speaking on behalf of the group Vaccine Injured and Bereaved UK (VIBUK), said they felt they were “almost being pushed into the shadows” as the overwhelming official message continued to be that the jabs were ”safe and effective” in spite of their experience.

Last week’s hearing also heard from a victims’ group in Scotland which raised concerns that the vaccine had been rolled out at such speed that public safety had been sacrifice

Module 4 of the long-running inquiry, chaired by Baroness Heather Hallett, is examining issues relating to the development of COVID-19 vaccines and other drugs.

Scott, whose husband Jamie was left severely disabled by the vaccine, said:

“We are an uncomfortable truth, but we are a truth, and the truth is for everyone in our group, the vaccine caused serious harm and death.”

Jamie Scott spent over a month in a coma after suffering the life-threatening side effect known as vaccine-induced immune thrombosis and thrombocytopenia after taking the now withdrawn AstraZeneca jab.

He survived but with a serious brain injury which has left him unable to work, partially blind, and unable to live independently, while his wife also had to give up her job to help care for him.

‘Too Little, Too Late’

He received the maximum payout of £120,000 from the government’s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) which is given to those who are assessed as being left 60 percent disabled as a result of a vaccine.

The inquiry will consider whether the VDPS should be reformed after some vaccine-injured people were left without the payment because they were assessed as not being severely disabled enough, even when left with life-changing health problems.

Kate Scott said, “The scheme is inadequate, insufficient, and offers too little too late and to too few.”

She told the hearing that victims of vaccine damage were made to feel that were “the only ones, or the unlucky ones, and just get on with it, and that’s impossible when you’re grieving a loved one, or your husband is in intensive care.”

A Freedom of Information request made by VIBUK showed that, as of November 2024, victims or their family members have made 17,519 claims to the scheme.

40 Years In A Row Of Being The Best Selling Car In America Are Over

  • Toyota’s RAV4 was the best-selling individual model in 2024, Jato Dynamics data shows.
  • The RAV’s ascent to P1 ended the Ford F-150’s four-decade run at the top of the table.
  • RAV4 sales grew 9 percent even though a successor is due; F-150 dropped 5 percent.

Presidents come and go, and gas prices ebb and flow, but for over 40 years there’s one thing Americans have been able to rely on, and it’s that the Ford F-150 is the country’s favorite vehicle. But that tradition ended in 2024, when The Toyota RAV4 knocked the F-150 off the top spot, industry figures show.

F-150 sales dropped 5 percent to 460,915 last year, according to data from Jato Dynamics, while Toyota RAV4 registrations increased by 9 percent to 475,193. The RAV has been snapping at the F-150’s heels for several years, but it’s never managed to topple it before. When the F-Series was crowned best selling vehicle in 2023, it was the 42nd time the Blue Oval truck had achieved the feat.

I look back for patterns. It’s part of critical thinking that I have no control over. It just happens.

Stuff just comes together and I know something is right.

When they introduced the PC, no one knew what to do with it. The word on the street was that no one would buy these and there was no future. I saw a career move.

When they forced people to get jabbed for Covid-19, I knew I had to avoid it with everything I had.

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

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

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

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

The claims for relief:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The New Captain America – How To Screw Your Own Movie Before It Gets Released

I know Steve Rogers is gone, but don’t say Captain America is not about America. That’s taking woke way past being smart.

A few other celebtards ruined their own movies (Captain Marvel) by trashing the audience before it came out, but come on, don’t be daft. Marvel seems to shit on all of their products since Disney and Kathleen Kennedy took over.

Captain Woke

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now this.

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

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

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

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

More Evidence That Both China And Environmental Activists Hate America

It isn’t bad enough that they are pumping enough fentanyl into America to numb the population and support groups like BLM and liberals, now this. China pollutes more than the rest of the world combined (except India), yet scoffs at stupid human tricks like the Paris Climate Accord, meant to penalize the USA most of all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Part I: The Spike Protein and Its Implications

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

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

Will Any Federal Officials Pay For What They Did?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Al Sharpton Gives Costco Kiss of Death

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Racist Eric Holder Panics Over Trumps’ DEI Dismantlement

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

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

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

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

Memo here with excerpt

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here we go.

A lot went on this week and there were certainly a lot of members of the press that deserved this. The inauguration boycotters certainly qualified.

The girl bishop who pontificated at Trump about illegals certainly deserved at least a consolation prize

There were too many coincidences and screw-ups in California, so the asshole of the week is:

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

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

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

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

Biden’s Pardon Confirms Fauci Guilt

Along with the rest of those he pardoned. You don’t need to be pardoned unless you are guilty or there is a miscarriage of justice. Fauci is as guilty as the day is long.

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

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

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

Public tyranny

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

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

Medical tyranny

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

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

Anti-scientific medicine

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

Corruption

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

Killing Credibility

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

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

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

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

Guilty as in murder

Environmental Marxism

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Go Egles

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Harvard and Stanford MBAs Struggling to Find Jobs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

https://twitter.com/DissidentSoaps/status/1881876781403402295

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

The lady cop is now under investigation by Internal Affairs.

JAX Today:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No, Women Should Not Be In Combat

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

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

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

We all know the answer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

People Biden Didn’t Pardon, And Hung Out To Dry

Trump has often decried Jack Smith, the special counsel who sought to wage two federal cases against him but who has now resigned.

Trump has repeatedly called the man “Deranged Jack Smith.” 

In a report issued this month ahead of Trump’s inauguration, Smith asserted that “with respect to both Mr. Trump’s unprecedented efforts to unlawfully retain power after losing the 2020 election and his unlawful retention of classified documents after leaving office, the Principles [of Federal Proseuction] compelled prosecution.”

“While we were not able to bring the cases we charged to trial, I believe the fact that our team stood up for the rule of law matters,” he noted.

2. Alvin Bragg 

Alvin Bragg

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought a case that led to a jury finding Trump guilty of charges of falsifying business records. 

Bragg has been one of the targets of Trump’s ire.

On Truth Social, Trump has called him “Soft on Crime Alvin Bragg” and “Corrupt Soros Funded District Attorney, Alvin Bragg.” 

3. Juan Merchan

Trump has also excoriated Judge Juan Merchan, who was involved in Trump’s New York criminal trial.

For example, Trump has called him “Corrupt, Deeply Conflicted, Democrat Appointed Acting Judge Juan Merchan,” and claimed that the judge was aiming to “RIG the Manhattan Sham ‘Trial.’”

Earlier this month, ahead of Trump’s inauguration as president, Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge.

“There is no way such corrupt people can lead a case, and then it gets taken over by somebody else,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “It was a corrupt case, so how could it be taken over by someone else?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Biden Crime Family Confirmed – You Only Pardon The Guilty

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here’s more about the rats leaving a sinking ship

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

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

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

The Lithium Battery fire

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

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

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

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

The LA Fires

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From The Washington Post’s Kara Voght:

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

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

Tea. With honey and lemon.

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

Jill pauses.

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

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

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

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

Another Peace Treaty With Hamas, Until The Next Attack

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

This has been going on since Muhammed started this hate fest in the 600 AD time frame.

They should stomp every last one of the roaches until they are gone so they don’t try it again. Otherwise, you’ll be reading about the next sneak attack like October 7 2023. They are animals.


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

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

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

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

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

More:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Schumer, Biden And How The Deep State Failed On Terrorism

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

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

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

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

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