US Multinationals Purging Online Climate Action Pages – Just Like DEI

More evidence of the ongoing collapse of the climate movement.

US multinationals purge website references to climate change

Walmart and Kraft Heinz among big corporations deleting or rewriting statements as Trump climate attacks intensify

Attracta Mooney and Susannah Savage in London

Big companies and non-profit groups have begun purging or rewriting references to climate change on their websites, mirroring similar action by US government departments in response to the policies of Donald Trump.

Financial Times analysis shows that statements on climate change from leading corporations including Walmart and Kraft Heinz have been deleted or rewritten over the past year at the same time as a Republican backlash against green action has intensified and companies have begun rolling back their net zero targets.

Areeba Hamid, co-executive director of Greenpeace UK, warned companies were at risk of “committing brand self-sabotage by erasing and diluting references to climate on their websites”. 

Charities also told the FT they were rejigging their websites, with one US non-profit group that operates internationally saying they had scrubbed whole pages about climate change online, partly in a bid to help shore up US grants.

The full article is worth reading, it contains a substantial list of companies and charities which have turned their backs on climate action.

Interestingly some of them apparently started purging online climate content before the November election, possibly in anticipation of a Trump victory.

Obviously if a radical climate activist is elected to the White House all the statements of climate commitment will be dusted off and restored. But in my opinion this shows how little corporations and charities genuinely care about climate change, and the fundamental weakness of the climate movement.

Only 15 countries have met the latest Paris agreement deadline. Is any nation serious about tackling climate change?

The latest deadline for countries to submit plans for slashing the greenhouse gas emissions fuelling climate change has passed. Only 15 countries met it – less than 8% of the 194 parties currently signed up to the Paris agreement, which obliges countries to submit new proposals for eliminating emissions every five years.

Known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs, these plans outline how each country intends to help limit average global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, or at most 2°C. This might include cutting emissions by generating more energy from wind and solar, or adapting to a heating world by restoring wetlands as protection against more severe floods and wildfires.

Each new NDC should outline more stringent emissions cuts than the last. It should also show how each country seeks to mitigate climate change over the following ten years. This system is designed to progressively strengthen (or “ratchet up”) global efforts to combat climate change.

Celebrities Are Just Dumbasses – ‘Snow White’s initial earnings are dismal considering the film cost more than $250 million to make.’

‘Snow White’ Star Wishes Harm to MAGA, then is Shocked when Woke Film Flops

March 23, 2025

(Luis CornelioHeadline USADisney’s live-action remake of Snow White appears poised to rank among the studio’s worst-performing films in recent years, according to box office numbers reviewed by the Daily Mail

Starring actress-turned-leftist activist Rachel Zegler, the movie has earned just $3.5 million in Thursday previews and is expected to bring in from $45 million to $55 million during its opening weekend—far below $95 million made by the live-action remake of Little Mermaid. 

Snow White’s initial earnings are striking considering the film cost more than $250 million to make, according to the Mail

The movie, most of which was shot in 2022, has been mired in controversy from the start, with several re-shoots and anti-Trump controversies delaying its release.  

Additionally, Disney has been accused of making the movie woke in a bid to send a political message.

(Spoilers Warning)

In the remake, Snow White is portrayed as an empowered figure who no longer depends on Prince Charming to break the Evil Queen’s curse.  

The film notably omits the classic Someday My Prince Will Come and features computer-generated versions of the dwarves—rather than actual little people.

DISNEY SING-ALONGS | Someday My Prince Will Come - Snow White Lyric Video | Official Disney UK

Cleary, this snotty apology didn’t do the trick. The movie is a total flop.

From the weirdly militant empowerment script to the CGI dwarves who looked like rejected extras from an Activia commercial, this movie was doomed from the start. Disney couldn’t even decide what race—or species—the characters were supposed to be. We got a Hispanic German princess who hates romance, saddled up with seven woke bandits who look like they wandered in from an Antifa street theater production.

While the studio was busy spinning a color wheel to balance skin tones and checking off pronouns like it was DEI Bingo Night, they forgot about little things like story, heart, and watchability.

The result was a film so bland, awkward, and desperate to prove its political correctness that it forgot to be fun. Or magical. Or even remotely coherent.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t just about one bad movie. This is what happens when corporate entertainment gets hijacked by activism. Just like everything else in America—medicine, education, even the judiciary—once it goes woke, it goes straight to hell.

In Hollywood’s case, movies stopped being magical escapes, and the artistic part morphed into painful, patronizing “cat lady lectures.” And that’s not an exaggeration—even James Carville, the baldheaded Cajun Dem whisperer, admitted the Left has a “preachy female” problem. Honestly, that was being generous. The truth is that these left-wing women sound like nagging hall monitors with a superiority complex. Women like Rachel Zegler don’t inspire—they lecture. They scold. They dictate how we should think, vote, love, and live.

And they always deliver the lecture in the same tone: smug, joyless, and without a single spark of soul. Always, always dead behind the eyes.

It’s no wonder no one wants to buy a ticket. We go to the movies to escape, not to be emotionally waterboarded by some twenty-something dip who thinks she’s smarter and more evolved than the rest of us. If we wanted a finger-wagging sermon, we’d go to brunch with an MSNBC reporter.

The result of this “Ted Talk” attitude is a box office graveyard full of preachy, unwatchable flops that feel more like punishment than entertainment. At this point, most Americans would rather chow down on a poison apple than sit through another two-hour lecture on female empowerment, climate justice, and how Prince Charming is actually a creepy stalker.

So in the end, here lies Disney’s Snow Woke—face down in the enchanted forest, poisoned by its own bloated ego and insufferable politics.

No prince. No love story. No charm. No audience.

All that’s left is a sad little kingdom of ashes and seven confused little virtue signals wandering through the wreckage, clutching their diversity checklists and wondering why the magic never happened.

Spoiler alert: the magic choked to death on its own moral superiority.

Marriage – And They Didn’t Live Happily Ever After

A mass murderer strangled his wife during a conjugal visit in his California prison, according to prosecutors.

David Brinson, already serving life for four murders, had claimed that his wife, Stephanie Dowells, a 62-year-old grandmother, had fainted when she was found dead after an unsupervised overnight visit last November at the Mule Creek State Prison near Sacramento.

But an investigation showed that his wife had been throttled, with her death ruled a homicide, prosecutors told KCRA.

It Was Because The Food Sucked So Much – Michelle Obama Expresses Shock that Controversial School Lunch Program Was So Unpopular:

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is surprised that her school lunch program proved to be so controversial.

Obama made the remarks during an appearance this week on the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce, asserting that her decision to make a difference with school lunches — and her overall “Let’s Move” initiative — was “strategic” in nature.

“I was trying to be strategic about aligning my agenda with something that was important to the West Wing. And I thought, ‘There’s no way that anyone is going to take issue with trying to make school lunches healthier, getting kids more active,’” she said.

The wife of former President Barack Obama then appeared to try and take credit for more recent nutrition-related statements made by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claiming that she said “the same things” during her school lunch initiative, which launched in 2010.

“Just trying to make the next generation healthier than ours and, boy, was I wrong, which is really interesting in these times with the current Secretary of Health and Human Services [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] who is now saying some of the same things that I was saying,” Obama said.

She ultimately blamed the controversy on partisan differences. “It became a partisan issue. People were telling me that I’m trying to be the ‘nanny state’ and I’m trying to control what our kids are eating. And telling them what’s good for them and what’s not good for them.”

However, the former first lady maintained that her team achieved its goals with her program. She argued that they improved nutrition standards and factors such as “labels so that they were more readable, so that people’s parents could really understand the breakdown of fat and sugar. And it was clear we got the school nutrition standards improved in our schools for the first time in, like, 50 years.”

Obama’s school lunch initiative garnered a flood of negative attention. Many students posted photos online of their unappetizing meals after its rules were implemented. President Donald Trump worked to expand the overly restrictive program by bringing items such as chocolate milk back to the table during his first term in 2017.

Married Women With Children Are Happier Than The Single Childless

They’ll tell you how happy they are being single, but girls always want what another girl has and their first role model was their mom and Grandmother.

The Left Knew They Were Lying to Us All Along

For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that it knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along.

Once it was known that the first COVID-19 case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses — with help from Western agencies — the left went into full persecution mode.

They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial any who dared follow logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were both culpable for the virus and lying.

A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and Biden administration demonized any who dared speak about a lab origin of the deadly virus.

The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus’s origins, such as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.

The Biden government also tried to use the lab theory to ridicule a supposedly pro-Trump “conspiracy.”

Western corporate interests deeply invested in China did not want their partner held responsible for veritably killing and maiming hundreds of millions worldwide.

Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president.

Indeed, that was the point.

Biden’s role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the “old Joe Biden from Scranton” pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced.

His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.

By 2017, the public knew three truths about the so-called Christopher Steele dossier.

One, it was completely fallacious — fabricated by a has-been, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He childishly had cobbled together lurid sex stories, James Bond spy fictions, and Russian-fed disinformation to destroy the Trump candidacy and later presidency.

Two, it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She hid her checks behind the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GSP paywalls.

Three, the FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.

No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was the work of “Russian disinformation.” Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation.

The pornographic pictures, the evidence of prostitution and drug use, the electronic communications implicating Joe Biden in his family’s illicit shake-down operation of foreign governments — all were never challenged by anyone who was associated with the laptop’s contents.

Yet future Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, along with former interim CIA Director Mike Morrell, sought to fabricate a colossal lie to arm their candidate, Joe Biden, with plausible denial in the last presidential debate before the 2020 election.

They rounded up a rogue’s gallery of 51 now utterly discredited former intelligence authorities to lie to the nation that the laptop was likely fake.

All knew the FBI had verified the laptop. But they also knew that their titles would empower their lies that the Russians likely invented the laptop to aid the sinister Trump.

And the ruse worked like a charm.

In the debate, Biden cited their lies chapter and verse to claim the incriminating laptop was fake. A lying media damned Trump as a puppet of Vladimir Putin. Biden, little more than a week later, won the 2020 election.

The Biden administration deliberately destroyed the southern border and welcomed 12 million illegal aliens. And then it lied that Biden had no power to stop the influx.

The media fabricated the excuse that “comprehensive immigration reform” was needed to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books.

Upon inauguration, Trump, in a matter of days, stopped what Biden had deliberately engineered for years.

Biden’s handlers wanted new millions of poor illegal aliens, dependent on social services, to swarm the borders.

They saw them as future voters and constituents to fuel their victim/victimizer Marxist binaries.

And they now quietly see their efforts as a huge success — knowing that it will be near impossible to find the millions of illegal aliens they welcomed in.

All these lies have divided the country and permanently damaged the U.S.

The perpetrators have neither apologized for their lies nor tried to either deny or substantiate them.

No one involved has ever been held legally accountable.

The legacy media permanently ruined its reputation and will likely never be seen as credible again.

The Biden administration, overseer of many of these lies, will be regarded as the most duplicitous and dishonest presidency in modern history.

DOJ Moves to Unseal FBI Recordings of MLK; Family Wants Them Kept Private Because He Was A Womanizer

They want to hide what the FBI found out. MLK was both a communist and a philanderer. The truth is going to change a lot of views. It still won’t change that any MLK Blvd in any city is where the crime is.

(José Niño, Headline USA) In keeping with the Trump administration’s transparency promise, the U.S. government has filed a motion to unseal FBI surveillance records of Martin Luther King Jr. nearly two years ahead of schedule. 

The document in question is titled, “MOTION BY THE UNITED STATES TO UNSEAL TAPES AND DOCUMENTS” and it was filed on Monday by the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. The motion was made in a lawsuit filed by King associate Bernard Lee and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference all the way back in June 1976.

The lawsuit stems from allegations that the FBI unconstitutionally monitored the conversations of King and other Conference members. In 1977, U.S. judge dismissed the lawsuit, but ordered the FBI to provide surveillance tapes and related documents to the National Archives as a “compromise.”

Those recordings and documents were sealed by court order in 1977 for 50 years, and were set to remain classified until January 31, 2027.

In its motion, the U.S. government referenced a January executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The order called for a review and release of documents connected to the assassinations of prominent figures, including MLK. 

The government said it believes there is strong public interest in understanding MLK’s assassination and sufficient time has passed since the records’ creation for the government to come clean about the FBI’s role in spying on the civil rights leader. 

“The Court should unseal the tapes and documents about the FBI’s surveillance and wiretapping of the Reverend King and the Conference so that the Attorney General may review them, identify any records about the assassination of the Reverend King, and release those records in compliance with the President’s executive order,” Justice Department lawyers said.

However, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference currently opposes the motion to unseal. According to a New York Times report, the SCLC is worried that revelations about King’s personal affairs could be used to damage his reputation.

AOTW

Yannow, Disney has destroyed almost everything it’s touched with Woke. Star Wars, Marvel, the classic movies, the Tragic Kingdom, Indiana Jones, all of it.

Now, they are panicking over Snow White. For that and how they’ve ruined all my favorite entertainment in just a few short years, they are the AOTW. I could have made it just Rachel Zeigler for what she did to Snow White, but it’s everything Disney touches.

All signs are pointing to a box office catastrophe for Disney’s new Snow White, and Hollywood is in full-blown panic mode. It’s not just Disney feeling the heat—Tinseltown, already drowning in a sea of big-budget flops, can’t afford another messy release. But that’s exactly what’s coming, as early signs suggest this woke remake is heading straight for a long, grim, and very unprofitable sleep.

Of course, casting a Hispanic liberal to play a white, German fairytale icon was one of Disney’s dumbest moves—right up there with ditching the dwarfs for diversity hire hobos, only to backtrack and digitally add the little guys later. What a mess.

Who could forget Rachel Zegler’s personal mission to literally trash Snow White’s original story—rewriting Prince Charming as some kind of #MeToo-type stalker?

The movie, now set to open nation-wide on March 21st, is in free fall, starting with the bizarre premiere, which was altered from start to finish, in order to avoid more anti-woke backlash.

Unherd:

Much effort was made to force the original tale into the contemporary moral mould of antebellum America. Now, as Disney braces for the release of its new live-action adaptation on Friday, a similar process is underway. This time, the sanitising is motivated by its star, Rachel Zegler, who has navigated the press junket so disastrously that studio bosses relocated a London premiere to a remote Spanish castle for fear of “anti-woke backlash”. All this was set in motion by Zegler’s comments in 2022, that the original film had followed Snow White’s “love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird.” Taking a further chomp at the hand which was so generously feeding her, she added: “I think I watched it once and never picked it up again.” This time around, Zegler promised, Snow White would not be dreaming “about true love”, but “about becoming the leader she knows she can be”, a phrase which single-handedly tanked the $270-million film’s predicted box-office performance.

Disney is making the same fatal mistake that sunk Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret—abandoning the fantasy that made them successful in the first place. Once upon a time, Disney’s core message was very simple: fairytales really do come true. Beautiful, right? And that’s the magic people bought into. But just like SI and VS ditched the dream of aspirational beauty—swapping out beautiful bombshells for below-average fat chicks—Disney is tossing out the timeless romance of a prince on a white horse, rescuing a woman in distress. Instead, they’re choking us to death with some contrived “girl power” nonsense that lacks charm, romance, or magic—ironically, all the things that made Disney movies beloved in the first place. The Unherd piece goes on:

Disney’s dalliances with “wokeness” are well documented, and tiresome. In 2023, its casting of the black actress Halle Bailey as Ariel in The Little Mermaid sparked outrage, much of it racist. Its megabucks Marvel franchise has attracted similar opprobrium. The conversation around Snow White, however, is summarised by outrage from the warriors of Mumsnet, who insist “there’s nothing wrong with dreaming of marriage”, and “I don’t understand why a man loving a woman is bad at all!” The lens of criticism is so relentlessly trained on the film’s feminism or lack of it that the underlying assumption is taken for granted: that mass-market cinema must contain a message, and that its plots can be used as a weathervane for contemporary sexual or racial politics.

Disney thought it was making history by embracing girl power and riding the wave of a so-called “progressive movement.” But here’s the problem—they got high on their own supply. They didn’t stop to realize that this wasn’t some organic, world-changing revolution. It was a manufactured guilt trip, pushed by Hollywood elites desperate to atone for the filth and perversion they’ve let fester in their own backyards. What Disney completely missed is that the rest of America doesn’t live in that filth. We’re just normal people who love escaping into a beautiful fantasy—romance, adventure, and the feel-good magic that made Disney iconic in the first place.

So, the crisis and the box office collapse? It’s well-earned. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of out-of-touch jerks.

Vulture:

Taken on its own merit, a movie premiere is pretty much incapable of dictating a film’s box-office fate. But according to rival studio executives and film marketers canvassed by Vulture, certain premieres can provide tantalizing indications of what’s to come. Disney’s red-carpet restrictions — taken in conjunction with the studio’s unorthodox decision to begin preselling tickets to Snow White via online retailers like Fandango and Atom Tickets a mere 11 days before its release — paint a picture of a movie in crisis. Under normal circumstances, an event title with almost a century of household-name recognition and a $450 million price tag (when you include prints and advertising costs) would begin selling tickets at least a month in advance. “That’s data. The only reason why they would start presales that late is they are worried people would write about, Oh, man, the tickets are on sale and they’re not doing well,” an executive at another major studio says of Disney. “That and scrapping the red carpet tell me a story. It’s almost like they’re running away from the movie. And at this budget, that’s kind of crazy.”

Of course, few movies arrive onscreen with as much cultural Sturm und Drang as director Marc Webb’s megabudget contemporization of 1937’s epochal Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Its bibliography of outrage includes: anti-diversity outcry in 2021 that greeted the casting of mixed-race Latina actress Zegler as its titular heroine (whose skin is described as “white as snow” in the original animated film); Peter Dinklage lambasting the film’s perceived insensitivity toward little people — specifically, its “fucking backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave”; Zegler’s 2023 multi-interview characterization of the original Snow White as “extremely dated when it comes to the idea of women in roles of power” and “focus on a love story with a guy who literally stalks her” (she also noted, “People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is — because it needed that”); and seemingly conflicting views of the Israel-Hamas war by Zegler (who has described herself as “pro-Palestine”) and Gadot (who served in the Israeli Defense Forces and used her keynote speech at a recent Anti-Defamation League summit to denounce those not “condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying, and cheering on a massacre of Jews”).

The biggest problem for Snow White, though, is Zelger’s attack on Trump supporters, and something she and the film can likely not rebound from. Add to that, the utter crash and burn of Disney’s other “woke” box office flop, “Captain America,” starring a black guy, whose only purpose was to check a DEI box for the industry. America, said, “No thanks.” The Vulture piece goes on.

Perhaps most problematic for Disney’s marketing apparatus, however, was then-23-year-old Zegler’s anguished reaction to President Trump’s election in November. “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Fuck Donald Trump.” After supporters of the president responded on social media with postings such as, “Not taking my kids to see this trash after the statement you put out. @disney you need to do something about this” and “I hope you get no peace when this film BOMBS at the box office and streaming,” Zegler issued a hasty apology. But some rival studio executives ultimately feel the Mouse House made a tactical mistake in casting the outspoken Romeo + Juliet actress and failing to rein her in. “The reality is Rachel Zegler should not be playing Snow White,” one tells me.

Snow White makes theatrical landfall at something of a corporate inflection point for Disney. Last month’s Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Captain America: Brave New World has underperformed financially, becoming one of the long-running franchise’s lowest-earning titles.

This is Effing Disgusting – Thirteen Workers Catch STDs from Malicious Janitor’s Grossly Unhygienic, Sick Behavior

Everyone’s dealt with that one annoying coworker.

The guy who never shuts up, the gal who gossips, the guy who brings a stinky lunch to his desk, the gal who chews gum and does that dumb popping noise — everyone’s who’s ever worked has dealt with some variation of an obnoxious coworker.

Well, if life is truly all about perspective, those annoyed workers should know that they’ve had it easy.

According to multiple disgusting reports, a Texas janitor is facing serious time behind bars after he was convicted of contaminating his co-workers’ water bottles.

That would be bad enough without any further context, but as KTRK-TV noted, it’s the manner in which he contaminated those water bottles that truly made this vile: He allegedly urinated in them.

As If We Didnt’ Know The Squad Politicians Were Crooked Already

The federal court in D.C. charged the husband of former Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush on Thursday with fraudulently obtaining over $20,000 from the Paycheck Protection and Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs during the pandemic.

Cortney Merritts, 46, faces federal charges and is indicted on two counts of wire fraud for allegedly exploiting Small Business Administration (SBA) loan programs during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the indictment. Merritts allegedly secured over $20,000 through fraudulent applications submitted in 2020 and 2021 under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

U.S. Attorney Edward Martin Jr., along with key federal agents, said Merritts manipulated SBA provisions designed to aid struggling businesses. On July 7, 2020, Merritts allegedly claimed an $8,500 EIDL loan for Vetted Couriers, a business that allegedly had six employees and $32,000 in annual gross revenue. A day later, Merritts applied for another EIDL loan, this time as a sole proprietor, inflating his employee count to 10 and reporting $53,000 in revenue. The SBA denied additional funds upon finding his applications nearly identical.

The fraudulent schemes escalated when, on April 22, 2021, Merritts secured a $20,832 PPP loan by allegedly and falsely declaring a new business with a gross income of $128,000. He later filed for loan forgiveness, claiming he used the funds for payroll expenses, despite the funds being used for personal purposes. The SBA eventually forgave the PPP loan, including interest, based on his deceptive assertions.

In light of Bush’s husband’s recent legal challenges, it was reported that she continued making payments to him despite the ongoing federal investigation. Federal Election Commission data shows that between April 12 and June 30, Bush paid her husband $15,000 in wages amidst scrutiny over past campaign expenditures on security services, including payments to Merritts, as reported by the New York Times.

Karma Strikes – North Dakota Jury Rules Greenpeace Liable For Hundreds Of Millions In Damages

A North Dakota jury ruled Wednesday that Greenpeace is liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for defaming an energy company and for its role in disruptive protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline project in 2016 and 2017, according to numerous reports.

Energy Transfer, the company developing the pipeline, sued Greenpeace USA, Greenpeace International and Greenpeace Fund in 2019 seeking $300 million in damages for the activist group’s alleged role in defaming the firm and promoting criminal acts targeting the pipeline by protestors opposed to the project, according to The Associated Press. Greenpeace has previously indicated that a $300 million judgement against it could destroy the group’s U.S. operations.

As things currently stand, Greenpeace will have to pay Energy transfer $667 million, according to The Washington Post.

How The Hell Do You Lose An Alligator In A Hotel Room?

This is exactly what I wanna see just days before I stay in a hotel room…

Michigan motel staffers were recently stunned after they found an alligator left behind by a guest who stayed there.

The three-foot-long Wally was located Friday in Cheboygan’s Pine River Motel, not much longer after exotic animal collectors checked out.

“We just went in to clean the room and, when my nephew looked under the bed, Wally was there,” Gary, the manager of the motel, Gary, told the Detroit Free Press.

“He was a real friendly gator, so I didn’t feel real scared. He let the police officers hold him and all that, I mean, it was a real friendly alligator.”

The gator‘s owner, who goes around schools with exotic animals, had assumed that Wally had escaped and went into the wild, according to the motel’s manager.

Wally and his owner were reunited Friday. It’s not currently known if police filed any charges.

Eating Their Own: Communists at Jacobin Resurrect Old Article to Target Barack Obama’s Legacy

The circular firing squads on the left and in the Democrat Party are only just beginning. Trump has only been in office for a couple of months and already AOC and John Fetterman are fighting, every leftist in the world — specifically those in Hollywood — hates Chuck Schumer, and former Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is enjoying some delicious schadenfreude with her erstwhile colleagues over their hypocrisy about the filibuster. 

It’s only a matter of time before AOC and the left’s ‘new hotness’ Jasmine Crockett have a showdown and whoa Nellie, there are going to be some fireworks when that happens. 

Amis all of this chaos on the left, we’re not sure why the communists at Jacobin decided to resurrect a four-year-old article blasting Barack Obama and his legacy, but maybe they were thinking (as The Cranberries once said), ‘Everyone else is doing it so why can’t we?’

By the way, when we call the writers at Jacobin ‘communists,’ that’s not us trying to insult them. That’s what they say about themselves. They use the word ‘socialists,’ but they celebrate communism on their website pretty much every day, including regular paeans to Vladimir Lenin. Even MSNBC’s Chris Hayes (or is that Rachel Maddow?) called them far-left extremists. He meant it as a compliment.

These communist tendencies are on full display in the 2021 article that Jacobin pushed on Twitter yesterday. They blast Obama for having a lavish party during Covid, but they blast the lavishness, not the hypocrisy. They HATE that he has luxury estates in Martha’s Vinyard AND Hawaii, of course, which they call ‘tumors.’ And they rip him for tanking Bernie Sanders’ presidential aspirations. But here is the crux of their criticism in calling Obama ‘one of the worst ex-presidents ever’:

They don’t really stand for anything firm, just what they think is right at the moment. They always shoot themselves. After all, when in history has communism ever worked?

Elon Musk Says DOGE Discovered 14 ‘Magic Money Computers Which Can Just Make Money Out of Thin Air’

Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and now self-proclaimed advocate for government efficiency, has revealed a stunning financial scandal hidden within the depths of our government.

Speaking on Senator Ted Cruz’s Verdict podcast, Musk disclosed the existence of what he calls “magic money computers.”

During the explosive interview, Musk explained how these government computers can conjure up trillions of dollars out of thin air—completely detached from a synchronized network.

According to Musk, 14 such machines have been uncovered across various agencies, mostly at the Treasury Department, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Defense (DOD), and even the State Department.

Musk’s revelations suggest that federal spending is even more chaotic and reckless than the public realizes. With multiple “magic money computers” operating independently, government agencies are issuing massive payments that don’t add up to the numbers being reported to Congress or the American people.

Ted Cruz:
Now, one of the things you told me about is what you called Magic Money Computers at the Treasury. Tell us about it because I had never heard of that until you brought it up.

Elon Musk:
Okay, so you may think that the government computers all talk to each other, synchronize, add up what funds are going where, and that it’s coherent. And that the numbers, for example, that you’re presented as a senator are actually the real numbers.

Ted Cruz:
One would think.

Elon Musk:
One would think. They’re not.

Ted Cruz:
Yeah.

Elon Musk:
They’re not totally wrong, but they’re probably off by 5% or 10% in some cases. I call a magic money computer any computer that can just make money out of thin air. Best magic money.

Ted Cruz:
How does that work?

Elon Musk:
It just issues payments.

Ted Cruz:
You said there’s something like 11 of these computers at Treasury that are sending out trillions in payments?

Elon Musk:
They’re mostly at Treasury. Some are at HHS, some at… there’s one at State, some at DOD. I think we’ve found 14 magic money computers now.

Ted Cruz:
Fourteen, okay.

Elon Musk:
They just send money out of nothing

No Company Wants To Sponsor The San Fransico Sodomite Parade Anymore

A host of longtime sponsors have begun backing out of their involvement in San Francisco’s 2025 gay “Pride” celebrations, SFGATE reported.

San Francisco Pride, a nonprofit that host’s the city’s annual pride event, has recently been scrambling for other methods to raise $300,000 for this year’s festivities, according to SFGATE. Notably, the news comes amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to crack down on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts nationwide.

San Francisco Pride’s executive director, Suzanne Ford, told the outlet that she was “really disappointed” by the sponsors’ decisions. Sponsors pulling out of the pride event include Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Budweiser and Beck’s beer; wine company La Crema, and Diageo, a beverage company known for producing Guinness, Ford told KTVU-TV in an interview published March 15.

DOGE Marks 3.2 Million Social Security Accounts 120 Years and Older as ‘Deceased’

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has marked approximately 3.2 million Social Security number-holders for people aged 120 and older as “deceased” as part of ongoing efforts to root out fraud.

DOGE, headed by tech mogul Elon Musk, announced the move on Tuesday after the Social Security Administration (SSA) spent the last two weeks working on a “major cleanup of their records”:

While the table posted by the department shows 3,261,057 number-holders being removed from the “living” count, millions of accounts belonging to people purporting to be up to 159 years old still remain, awaiting review.

“More work still to be done,” DOGE added in its post on X.

Musk called out the SSA for having impossibly old number-holders in its registry in a scathing February post, showing thousands of people supposedly in their 200s, and one even in their 300s:

“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!” the DOGE chief and X owner wrote. “Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.”

A recent Rasmussen poll that asked people if they would “support or oppose having the Department of Government Efficiency do an audit of the Social Security system” found that 59 percent would strongly (41 percent) or somewhat (18 percent) approve of that audit, with only 35 percent opposed it.

Social security experts who spoke with PolitiFact offered two possible explanations for the staggering numbers of accounts that appear to belong to millions of super-centenarians:

Government databases may code someone as 150 years old for reasons peculiar to the large and complex Social Security database.

Improper payments are a longstanding concern for the agency, though they represent a small share of all payments.

According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a missing value for a date is coded as May 20, 1875 — the date that the international standards-setting conference, the “Convention du Mètre,” was held in Paris. 

It is necessary to note that the SSA has been automatically stopping payments to account holders over 115 years of age since September 2015, so DOGE is not necessarily stating that the administration has been making payments to the aforementioned 3.2 million accounts. 

A report from the SSA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) states that the administration has not established a new system capable of properly logging death information, resulting in nearly 19 million Social Security numbers for people born in 1920 or earlier not being labeled as deceased.

After President Donald Trump brought up the suspicious database issue in February, SSA Acting Commissioner Lee Dudek thanked him and vowed to continue the investigation.

“I thank President Trump for highlighting these inconsistencies during his speech last night to a joint session of Congress,” Dudek said in a statement. “We are steadfast in our commitment to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in our programs, and actively correcting the inconsistencies with missing dates of death.”

Lady Drivers – Female pilot hits runway with wing of passenger plane. She ‘had no clue’ it happened…

Those zany female pilots are at it again—only this time, they’re clipping wings and careening down the runway. The latest DEI disaster in the skies is just another example of what happens when identity politics trumps qualifications. But before we nosedive into this latest catastrophe, let’s rewind to a recent “girl power” moment that ended in flames.

You probably remember the Endeavor Air runway fiasco—not just a near-miss, but a full-on crash landing. The plane, proudly manned by an all-female crew, touched down upside down and skidded down the tarmac in a fiery spectacle. Passengers were no doubt reliving their worst nightmares as the aircraft scraped across the ground, proving once again that diversity hires don’t make for safe landings.

The airline industry has been hit hard by the left’s dangerous and deadly DEI movement. The once “friendly skies” are now a crapshoot of confusion, chaos, and calamity. And speaking of DEI disasters, we recently covered a story about an FAA supervisor who actually fed test answers to a group of unqualified minority applicants taking an air traffic control exam.

Safety last.

Revolver:

DEI is slowly but surely destroying this country. It’s gotten so bad—so deeply entrenched in every system—that President Trump has made eradicating it a cornerstone of his administration. And not a moment too soon.

Just look at this latest bombshell, courtesy of a Daily Mail exclusive. They got their hands on a voicemail from a DEI activist and FAA supervisor who, according to their report, handed out critical answers to an air traffic control exam—to a select group of minority candidates.

No wonder the once “friendly skies” have turned so deadly…

Unlimited L’s:

DEI activist allegedly caught sharing air traffic controller exam answers with minority candidates in leaked audio obtained by the Daily Mail

Shelton Snow, a prominent figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), was caught in a shocking audio clip promising advance access to test answers

‘There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,’ says Snow

‘I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question.’

The inside information was offered in 2014 to African Americans, females, and other minority candidates, while Whites were excluded to “minimize competition.”

It remains unknown how many candidates benefited from Snow’s offer to secure coveted air traffic controller jobs

Snow stated, “We can give you advance access to test answers,” as reported by DailyMail

But one former NBCFAE member, Matthew Douglas, told DailyMail: ‘I know several people who cheated and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak.’

One In Five Gen-Z/Millennial Women Are Mentally Ill, Identify As Something Else

Parsing through a Goldman note on the online dating sector, particularly focusing on Match Group (MTCH), Bumble (BMBL), and Grindr (GRND), the industry remains on a healthy upward growth trajectory. However, mature online dating markets are slowing, while emerging regions (Asia ex-China) drive new user adoption. While Hinge outperforms Tinder, Bumble is restructuring its growth strategy, and Grindr continues penetrating the LGBTQ+ community.

Goldman analysts Eric Sheridan and Julia Fein-Ashley provided clients with the key takeaways of what’s currently happening across the online dating industry:

  1. We continue to forecast the directly addressable online dating user TAM to grow at a 4% CAGR from 2024-2029;
  2. Expect Asia ex-China to contribute to a large portion of new dating users and slower growth from more mature markets (i.e. UCAN [United States and Canada]/Europe growing at a 1% CAGR from 2024-2029); &
  3. Forecast Hinge to increase penetration in the addressable user market, driven partially by continued focus on the international opportunity (and scaling in new international regions/markets).

Sheridan leveraged third-party data and industry sources that found the latest trends

  1. Industry: UCAN user preferences continue to shift towards intentional dating and community/friendship oriented apps (a theme of industry narrowing at the application layer);
  2. GRND: the LGBTQ+ userbase size at Tinder/Hinge remains less scaled than Grindr &
  3. BMBL: commentary around Bumble’s decision to discontinue/sunset the Fruitz app.

Instead of analyzing the entire note, we highlight two interesting trends.

The first is Bumble for Friends. This app helps users build platonic relationships rather than romantic connections and has seen rapid growth over the last 18 months. 

More from the analysts:

Bumble for Friends (BFF) has continued to scale over the past 18 months, both in MAUs (now in double digits as a % of Bumble App MAUs in UCAN) and engagement (Exhibit 10). We view this as an area of increasing focus at Bumble, with mgmt. noting their increased focus on the friendship/community opportunity and shift in focus away from other apps (i.e. discontinuing Fruitz and Official apps

While BFF tends to have less of an impact on the number of total paying users, we view the app as providing a low-pressure alternative to dating apps and an additional acquisition channel specifically targeting younger (Gen Z) users.

FAFO – CA down 16K fast food jobs amid $20 wage, you raise minimum wage and people lose jobs, food costs more – duh

Federal data now shows California fast food employment is down 16,000 jobs since the passage of the state’s $20-per-hour fast food minimum wage last year.

A fast food study from the Berkeley Research Group found California fast food prices increased 14.5% from September 2023 to October 2024, or double the national average.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ quarterly employment survey covers 95% of American jobs, and is considered the gold standard for jobs and wage data. Now its latest report shows California fast food jobs declined from 570,909 in September 2023 to 554,748 in September 2024.

“Some advocates for the fast food minimum wage have already branded the 25% increase a success,” wrote BRG, whose research team included the former head of the state-funded Legislative Analyst’s Office. “According to them, not only have fast food workers received higher pay because of the increase, but the number of jobs available to these workers has increased as well. However, these claims are not supported by reliable data.”

The BRG report notes jobs declined in December 2023, which in this century only occurred during the Great Recession in 2009 and during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and that employers have cut hours and benefits to offset wage increases.

According to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, that’s not happening, citing a UC Berkeley study.

FAFO – Radical Columbia Students Who Took Over a Campus Building Learn Their Fate

The spoiled children of indulgent parents have no conception of gratitude.

In like manner, privileged leftists who enjoy disproportionate protections for free speech have no idea what free speech really means.

According to WNBC in New York, officials at Columbia University in New York City have finally announced punishments for an unspecified number of students who forcibly occupied a building on campus last April as part of pro-Palestinian protests against the war in Gaza.

During those protests, a group of students used furniture and padlocks to barricade themselves inside Hamilton Hall.

The Columbia Daily Spectator, the university’s student newspaper, cited a social media post from a campus organization indicating that the university had suspended, expelled, or revoked the degrees of 22 students in total.

Of course, the announcement of these punishments occurred amid — surprise, surprise — rising tensions on the Ivy League campus.

Climate Hypocrisy On Display – COP30 Does Everything Anti-Sustainable

If ever a story perfectly encapsulated the hypocrisy of elitists who want to enslave and impoverish the planet in the name of the global warming hoax, this is it:

A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people – including world leaders – at the conference in November.

Cutting down rainforest is particularly bad from the viewpoint of the climate ideology that will be espoused at the summit:

The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.

Not at all. The purpose of a climate summit is to engage in virtue signaling while angling to achieve more power over the Little People. John Kerry never misses one, thanks to private jets always being at hand for him.

FAFO – High School Runner Charged with Assault & Battery After Bashing Opponent in Head with Baton

A high school track runner in Virginia is facing assault and battery charges after she was seen on video striking a competing runner with a baton during a relay race, leaving her with a concussion and a possible fractured skull.

Viral footage showed I.C. Norcom High School runner Alaila Everett strike Brookville High School junior Kaelen Tucker as she overtook Everett during a 4×200 meter relay race at Liberty University in Lynchburg last Tuesday.

“Eventually after a couple times of hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back like this, and it rolled up her back,” Everett said. “I lost my balance, when I pumped my arms again she got hit.”

“I would never do that on purpose,” Everett said in a Tuesday interview with “Good Morning America.” “That’s not in my character.”

Tucker, demanding an apology, also described the incident to WSLS earlier this week, saying, “When you go to the other side of the track, you have to cross into lane one, you have to merge in. As I was coming up on her, she kind of like made me get cut off a little bit, so I backed away…Then, as we got around the curve, she kept bumping me in my arm. Then finally we got off the curve, I like slowly started passing her and then that’s when she just hit me with the baton and I fell off the track.”

Doctors told her she’d suffered a concussion and possible skull fracture.

Portsmouth NAACP defended Everett ahead of charges being announced, writing, “Alaila is NOT AN ATTACKER and media headlines that allude towards that in any way is shameful. We understand the sensitivity of the circumstances for both athletes and their families involved but this narrative must not go unaddressed.”

The statement continued: “Alaila is an honor student and a star athlete at the historic I.C. Norcom High School. From all accounts, she is an exceptional young leader and scholar whose athletic talent has been well documented and recognized across our state. She has carried herself with integrity both on and off the field and any narrative that adjudicates her guilty of any criminal activity is a violation of her due process rights.”

Following an investigation, Lynchburg Commonwealth Attorney Bethany Harris charged Everett with misdemeanor assault and battery on Wednesday, Mar. 12.

The UK Is F**cked, Nearly 1 MILLION people in Britain do not speak English

It’s how the goat herders take over a country. When the invaders won’t assimilate into the culture, they start their own and the next thing you know, it’s not your country.

New figures have revealed that almost one million people in England struggle to speak English, with many unable to communicate in the language at all. The data, obtained from the 2021 Census and shared with the Conservative Party by the UK Statistics Authority last month, highlights the challenges of integration in a country experiencing high levels of migration, reports the Sun.

According to the statistics, 10 percent of England’s foreign-born population—equivalent to 932,208 people—speak little or no English. Of these, 794,332 people (8.6 percent) reported that they cannot speak English well, while 137,876 (1.4 percent) cannot speak it at all. In contrast, just over half of migrants aged 16 and older say English is their main language, and 38.4 percent believe they speak it well.  

The findings have prompted Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp to criticize Labour’s immigration policies. “It beggars belief that so many people in the country can’t speak English,” he said, calling on the government to “get a grip on immigration.”  

England’s population stood at 67.6 million in mid-2022 and is expected to rise to 72.5 million by mid-2032, according to separate figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Net migration is estimated to average just under 631,000 this year, down from the record-breaking 906,000 in recent years, according to the Daily Mail.

New Tool Lets You See Who Is Being Bought Off By Big Pharma

A new search tool unveiled Friday increases public access to information about the connections between advisors to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccine policy and the pharmaceutical industry.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) discusses epidemiological studies, weighs the benefits and side effects reported in clinical trials, and makes recommendations to the CDC on the routine vaccination schedules for children and adults. The ACIP’s recommendations inform which shots are reimbursed by health plans. In a bid to enhance transparency around the process, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has enabled users to search which advisors reported potential conflicts of interest and recused themselves from casting a vote affecting a drugmaker they had ties to.

The new tool is consistent with pledges by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to restore trust in the nation’s health agencies lost during the pandemic through increased information.

“In alignment with HHS Secretary Kennedy’s commitment to radical transparency, CDC released a tool for Americans to easily access conflicts of interest for ACIP committee members,” a CDC spokesman said in an email. “Rather than conflicts of interest being buried within meeting minutes, this tool quickly provides the public with ACIP members’ conflicts of interest.”

The ACIP became a flashpoint for controversy during the COVID-19 pandemic, reenergizing concerns about payments advisors receive from the pharmaceutical industry.

Yep, Probably Going To Get That DWI If you Hit A Cop Car

A man was arrested early Monday for allegedly driving while intoxicated after he failed to stop at a flashing red light and struck a Dallas police squad car.

The crash occurred near Dallas Love Field Airport on Cedar Springs Road and Manor Way around 3 a.m. while the police officer was traveling northward on a routine call, according to Fox 4 KDFW.

A Chevy Camaro was heading west at the same time and allegedly ran the red light, hitting the Dallas police squad car. The impact caused the officer’s vehicle to veer off the road, while the Camaro crashed into a utility pole.

The intersection is controlled by flashing lights; the officer had a flashing yellow, while the driver of the Camaro had a flashing red light, police said, as reported by Fox 4.

Neither the male driver nor the female passenger was injured in the incident. The unidentified man was arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Get Your MLB Tetas Here

I usually love MLB’s special edition merch, but this ain’t it.

Last year when I was on vacation, I was scrolling through my phone one day and saw that Major League Baseball had released special edition hats in collaboration with rapper Drake’s October’s Very Own (OVO) brand. Being an Atlanta fan, I bought a Braves hat with the most crisp navy blue and red owl on the side.

Fast forward a year later, and now MLB is dishing out mistakes after their glorious Drake collab. This one has to do with the Texas Rangers, specifically in regards to one hell of a hat design.

A new cap was unveiled by MLB’s Texas Rangers that puts the team’s “T” logo smack dab in the middle of “Texas.” But there were two problems: 1. It’s ugly as hell, and 2. … and this is what’s going viral … the word “Texas” with the “T” in the middle of it spells “Tetas.”

“Tetas” translates to “tits” in Spanish.

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.”

If You Can’t Beat Them, Whack Them In The Head With Your Baton

Let’s take a trip to Virginia, where a high school track and field meet escalated into violence after an athlete allegedly assaulted her opponent by blasting them on the head with a baton in the middle of a relay race.

Kaelen Tucker, an athlete for Brookville High School, was a runner in the second leg of the 4×22 meter relay Friday that took place at Liberty University for the VHSL Class 3 State Indoor Championships. While in a close contest for the second place position, the junior was trying to go into the inside lane while making her round on turn four.

IC Norcom was issued a disqualification from the relay race, while Tucker was diagnosed with a concussion and a potential skull fracture.

Pentagon Officials Caught Using Taxpayer-Funded Credit Cards at Casinos, Bars, and Clubs

Pentagon Officials Caught Using Taxpayer-Funded Credit Cards at Casinos, Bars, and Nightclubs Totaling $1.3 BILLION

Washington, D.C. – A scathing new audit from the Department of Defense Inspector General (DODIG) has blown the lid off a jaw-dropping scandal: Pentagon officials have been using taxpayer-funded credit cards to bankroll gambling sprees, bar tabs, and late-night parties at nightclubs. While Americans scrape by amid soaring costs, the brass at the DoD have been living large—on your dime.

Taxpayer Money Down the Drain

The audit zeroes in on the Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) program, designed to cover official travel expenses for DoD personnel. Instead, it’s become a slush fund for reckless spending:

  • $387,642.66 blown at casinos and mobile app stores—think slot machines and Candy Crush, courtesy of taxpayers.
  • $112,484.69 racked up at bars, lounges, and nightclubs, with spikes during holidays and big games like the Super Bowl.
  • A staggering 3.9 million transactions worth $1.2 BILLION left unchecked because no one bothered to look.

This isn’t pocket change—it’s a full-on heist of public funds.

Oversight? What Oversight?

The Pentagon had a fancy tool, the Visa IntelliLink Compliance Management (VICM) system, meant to catch shady charges. But here’s the kicker:

  • The Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) ignored red flags, letting high-risk spending slide without a peep.
  • Hundreds of Program Coordinators—supposed to keep this in check—couldn’t even be bothered to log in.
  • Rules to spot fraud? Outdated and ignored, leaving the door wide open for abusers to keep swiping.

It’s like handing out free credit cards at a Vegas buffet and telling no one to watch the tab.

Déjà Vu All Over Again

This isn’t even new. Back in 2015, a similar audit caught DoD cardholders dropping cash at casinos and strip clubs. Promises were made, heads nodded—but nothing changed. A decade later, the party’s still going, and taxpayers are still footing the bill.

Your Money, Their Playground

Picture this: You’re juggling bills while some Pentagon hotshot pulls cash from a casino ATM or buys rounds at a nightclub—all charged to Uncle Sam. Meanwhile, the DoD begs Congress for more funding, claiming it’s strapped for cash to defend the nation. The audit says $1.2 billion in transactions went unscrutinized. That’s not a glitch—that’s a grift.

Where’s DOGE When You Need It?

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), hyped as the cure for government waste, is our best shot to slam the brakes on this nonsense. We need Elon Musk’s DOGE to put an end to this once and for all—starting with this $1.2 billion mess. Taxpayers can’t wait any longer for the cleanup to begin.

No One’s Paying the Price

Here’s the part that’ll make your blood boil: despite this damning evidence, not one official has been fired, fined, or even scolded. Zero accountability for millions squandered. The Pentagon’s silence is deafening, and taxpayers are left holding an empty wallet.

AOTW – Your Democratic Leadership – Assholes On Parade

Go ahead and roll your eyes at the 13 year old brain cancer survivor who wants to be a police officer when he grows up. Damn that’s cold.

And Pelosi was drunk

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

What do you do during the day? It seems innocuous, but here’s why it isn’t for me. (the real answer is that I mind my own damn business and get done what needs doing).

I retired early and being a good introvert, I stay to myself, don’t bother others (especially with personal questions). I do normal introvert things like read and write a lot. I go about my business, get exercise usually for hours, do house repairs, help others, go to bible studies or other events, etc.

The point is that I don’t keep detailed records of what I do. I go about my business and try to stay out of other people’s business.

This question started with a relative I nicknamed Flounder from Animal House, for all the reasons Dean Wormer described about how not to go through life. Flounder went between high paying jobs to bankruptcy due to money mismanagement (spent like a drunken sailor). We’ve never been particularly close because we are so different and shit like this makes me not want to try very hard.

It should be noted that if I give someone a nickname in life, it’s not a good sign of how I feel about them.

Every conversation was, “What do you do all day, sweep the floors?” In fact, it was one of the things I did because I like a clean house. It was a shitty question though and it became monotonos. I’d just rather not have a conversation than discuss that. I finally turned it on him by saying most people ask me that because they wonder what they’ll be doing when they retire. He had no real answer as he defined himself by his job his wife told me.

Nevertheless, the condescending attitude was not even masked. I, the consummate introvert couldn’t defend the question on cue. I’d think of what I wrote above in the hours after the discussion when it didn’t matter.

Still, I hate the idea of anyone 1) intruding on my life and what I do unless I choose to talk about it and 2) getting this condescending attitude because I was able to retire early and it was a part of my life plan. (note: I saved, invested, and paid off all of my debt early to be able to do it. Flounder was in debt above his head and lost millions on houses and valuables he borrowed to get.

Randi isn’t a part of our life anymore because of her shitty attitude. I couldn’t stand to be around her either. She was snarky when saying it and those things don’t get past me easily.

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.

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.”

Star Wars Has A Chance Of Being Good Again, And Less Woke – Kathleen Kennedy to Step Down from Lucasfilm

Other than Dylan Mulvany ruining Bud Light, Kennedy is the only one who comes close in terms of using wokeness to ruin a franchise.

In a move that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood and the passionate Star Wars fandom, Kathleen Kennedy, the longtime president of Lucasfilm, is reportedly set to retire by the end of 2025.

After more than a decade steering one of Disney’s most iconic franchises into the ground, Kennedy’s departure marks the end of an era defined by ambitious expansion, woke creative decisions, and a relentless push to modernize a galaxy far, far away. The news—first reported by industry insider Matthew Belloni of Puck—has sparked widespread speculation about the future of Star Wars and its place within Disney’s sprawling empire.

Kennedy’s tenure began in 2012 when she joined Lucasfilm as co-chair alongside founder George Lucas. Months later, Disney acquired the studio for $4 billion, Lucas stepped away, and Kennedy ascended to the presidency.

Handpicked by Lucas himself, she brought a storied resume, having co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and produced cultural juggernauts like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and the Indiana Jones series. Her task at Lucasfilm was monumental: revive Star Wars for a new generation while honoring its legacy.

She failed miserably.

Under Kennedy’s leadership, Disney launched the Star Wars sequel trilogy, beginning with 2015’s The Force Awakens, which grossed over $2 billion worldwide and reignited global fervor for the franchise. The trilogy, concluding with 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, raked in more than $4.4 billion combined, though it faced diminishing returns and fierce backlash from some fans over its narrative direction.

Spin-offs like Rogue One (2016) and Solo (2018) followed, alongside a bold pivot to streaming with Disney+ series such as The Mandalorian, Andor, and The Acolyte. The Mandalorian, in particular, became a cultural phenomenon, proving Star Wars could thrive beyond the big screen.

The Acolyte, on the other hand, was panned as a woke expression of personal failures that woefully found themselves polluting the failed project.

Critics—especially vocal segments of the fanbase—accused her of steering the franchise toward radical leftist territory, citing diverse casting and progressive themes as departures from Lucas’s original vision. High-profile stumbles, like the cancellation of The Acolyte after one season due to low viewership, and the debacle of 2023’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, fueled calls for her ouster.

Elon Musk famously piled on, branding her “more deadly than the Death Star” in 2024 for her creative choices. Even South Park took a swipe, lampooning her as a symbol of Disney’s pandering.

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.”

The mystery surrounding the Delta pilot deepens: Here’s the latest…

This story stinks and is getting worse the longer they don’t release the names/gender/race/whatever of the pilot. They are hiding something and it must be bad to go on this long. If it was a white man, it would have been revealed last week

The mystery surrounding the latest Delta Airlines crash just keeps deepening. The crash itself was shocking to witness—and it’s nothing short of a miracle that no one died.

But in today’s world, where the skies feel less friendly than ever thanks to progressive ideology that has taken over corporate America, it’s no surprise that when a crash happens, all eyes turn to DEI.

And that’s not a stretch. Delta Airlines has made no secret of going all-in on their DEI agenda—a move that just so happens to coincide with a sharp decline in consumer confidence with the airline industry.

Tyler Fischer:

This is from Delta’s DEI website. An airline OBSESSED with the race and sexual preferences of their workers. Think the passengers who almost died in Toronto give a flying FUCK about if the pilot blows dudes or the flight attendant’s great grandma was a non binary Native American? Just land the damn plane right side up. Look at their site it’s insane: https://delta.com/us/en/about-delta/diversity

What’s most suspicious is that Delta still refuses to reveal who was at the controls on that disastrous day. Yet, based on the biographical breadcrumbs they’ve dropped, people are drawing their own conclusions—and frankly, who can blame them? That said, it’s important to note that nothing has been officially confirmed.

RELATED: The silence is deafening: who was flying Delta’s crashed plane?

But here’s where it gets even stranger—for the first time since the Toronto crash, the mainstream media has started sharing details about the female co-pilot. Of course, they didn’t release her name—because transparency isn’t exactly a priority here.

What they did do was gloss over the captain’s experience in a measly two sentences. Meanwhile, they poured out paragraphs to build up the female co-pilot—painting a glowing picture that feels more like damage control than reporting.

CBS News:

CBS News learned the first officer graduated from a university with an accredited and well-respected aviation program, and so was able to start working with fewer than 1,500 hours under a Restricted Air Transport Pilot certificate. She crossed the 1,500-hour mark and earned her full ATP certificate in January 2023, which is the highest-level pilot certification in the U.S., before completing training last April, and has been flying for Endeavor since then.

Delta says her flight experience “exceeded the minimum requirements” set by federal regulations.

She passed all of her check rides and there were “no red flags” about her pilot skills, a source familiar told CBS News.

Why is Delta Airlines being so tight-lipped about who was actually flying that plane? It’s a simple question that deserves a straightforward answer—especially after a crash this serious. Yet, instead of transparency, we’re getting silence, vague statements and selective puff pieces from the media. Why the secrecy? If this was just an accident with no underlying issues, there should be no need for smoke and mirrors. The more Delta dodges, the more it looks like they’re hiding something.

Headline Of The Day – Hooters Goes Tits-Up As Bankruptcy May Come Within Months

Hooters of America is reportedly gearing up for a bankruptcy filing in the coming months as the iconic restaurant chain struggles with declining foot traffic and mounting debt, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

The Atlanta-based casual dining chain has enlisted the legal muscle of Ropes & Gray to handle its restructuring, while turnaround specialists at boutique advisory firm Accordion Partners are helping sort out the financial mess, according to sources who requested anonymity while discussing private dealings. The bankruptcy process is expected to kick off within the next two months.

Soon to be unemployed? Hooters waitress from Savannah, Georgia

Hooters’ creditors aren’t sitting idly by either. Some debtholders have tapped investment banking powerhouse Houlihan Lokey Inc. for advice, underscoring the severity of the chain’s financial troubles.

Declining Sales and Mounting Debt

The company has been struggling with cash flow issues as customers increasingly flock to other casual dining and fast-casual options. In recent years, several Hooters locations have closed their doors, a clear sign that the once-popular brand known for its wings and waitstaff is facing an existential crisis.

Adding to the financial woes, Hooters took on significant debt in 2021, issuing about $300 million in asset-backed bonds. These bonds, structured as whole-business securitizations, used the company’s franchise fees and other assets as collateral—a move common among restaurant chains looking to leverage their brand value for quick cash.

Executives Stay Silent

Despite the growing speculation, representatives for Hooters, Accordion Partners, and Ropes & Gray did not respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for Houlihan Lokey also declined to weigh in on the situation.

The looming bankruptcy marks a dramatic downturn for a brand that once dominated the sports bar scene with its signature wings and controversial-but-effective marketing. With an increasingly competitive restaurant landscape and shifting consumer preferences, Hooters now faces the challenge of reinventing itself—or risk being left in the dust.

For now, it looks like the chain’s famous orange shorts and tight cash flow may both be on the chopping block.

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.

‘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.

Top 20 Deep State Revelations from Mike Benz

  1. Free Speech? Only for the “Rules-Based Order”
    Benz reveals that post-1948, the U.S. government embraced “free speech” globally as a soft power tool to topple regimes—until it backfired with populism. Now, free speech is a threat to democracy, apparently. How quaint that the First Amendment, once a shield for dissent, is now a liability to the blob’s global chess game.
  2. The First Amendment: A Mistake, Says Obama’s Propagandist
    Rick Stengel, Obama’s “propagandist-in-chief,” openly argued that the First Amendment was a mistake after Trump’s 2016 win. How delightful that a former State Department official thinks the Constitution needs guardrails to protect democracy from, you know, the voters.
  3. 2014 Ukraine Coup: The Censorship Beta Test
    The 2014 Ukraine coup wasn’t just about geopolitics; it was a dry run for domestic censorship. Benz explains how the tools used to control narratives abroad were turned inward. Who knew the First Amendment could be collateral damage in a proxy war?
  4. Democracy Redefined: Elections Are Optional
    Benz notes that the U.S. supports “democracy” in Ukraine, despite Zelensky canceling elections. Apparently, democracy now means institutional consensus, not pesky things like voting. The Framers must be thrilled their experiment now excludes the will of the people.
  5. The Blob’s “Whole of Society” Censorship Dream
    The phrase “whole of society” is the blob’s get-out-of-jail-free card for mass censorship. Benz highlights how it ropes in government, tech, and NGOs to silence dissent. Americans’ free speech rights are being strangled by a mob of unelected and hidden bureaucrats.
  6. CISA: The Real Ministry of Truth
    The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) isn’t just about cyber threats—it’s the nerve center of domestic censorship. Benz reveals it’s the de facto Ministry of Truth. Reassuring that a DHS agency is policing speech under the guise of “security.”
  7. Hate Speech as a Proxy for Populism
    Benz explains that “hate speech” became a catch-all to censor populism, both here and in NATO countries. Oppose open borders? Hate speech! The First Amendment’s protection of controversial ideas apparently doesn’t apply to wrongthink.
  8. Pentagon PsyOps to Protect Billionaires’ Reputations
    The Pentagon funded Graphika to map “conspiracy theories” that threaten Bill Gates and George Soros. Benz notes taxpayers paid for PsyOps to shield billionaires from criticism. How noble that our tax dollars defend the elite from First Amendment-protected scrutiny. And no one mention Gates and Epstein!
  9. COVID-19: Censorship’s Proof of Concept
    Rogan and Benz agree that COVID-19 was a trial run for full-scale censorship. The narrative of “vaccine deniers” justified silencing dissent. A public health crisis doubled as a Bill of Rights stress test—and we failed.
  10. USAID: The CIA’s Censorship Slush Fund
    Benz exposes USAID as a covert CIA front, funding global censorship under the guise of “democracy.” So an aid agency uses taxpayer money to throttle free speech abroad, all while bypassing congressional oversight.
  11. NED: Funding Foreign Censorship of U.S. Tech
    The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA cutout, works with foreign governments to pass laws targeting U.S. tech firms. Benz notes this is the opposite of the State Department’s mission. Really patriotic that we fund attacks on our own companies’ First Amendment rights.
  12. The Blob’s Fear of Populism Over Free Speech
    Benz reveals that 2016’s populist wave (Trump, Brexit) panicked the blob, leading to censorship to stop “demagoguery.” The First Amendment, meant to protect political speech, is now the enemy of “democratic institutions”—aka, the deep state.
  13. HateLab: AI Censorship for Populism
    The Justice Department funded HateLab’s AI “scan and ban” dashboard to target populism under the guise of hate speech. Benz notes this conflates dissent with hate. How progressive that AI now decides what speech violates the Bill of Rights.
  14. Elon’s Twitter Buy: A Fork in the Censorship Road
    Benz and Rogan highlight Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase as a turning point, disrupting the censorship machine. Seems ironic that a billionaire’s whim might save the First Amendment from the blob’s chokehold.
  15. The Blob’s Institutional Guardrails Against Voters
    Benz explains that “democratic institutions” (CIA, State Department assets) are now guardrails against voters choosing the “wrong” leader. How democratic that unelected bureaucrats protect voters from themselves.
  16. Soft Power Turned Inward: The 2016 Panic
    The tools of soft power—once used to promote free speech abroad—were weaponized domestically after 2016. Benz notes this shift targeted American populists. What should be the First Amendment’s global champion now crushes it at home.
  17. Disinformation Governance Board: A Red Herring
    Benz clarifies that the Disinformation Governance Board was a distraction; the real censorship machine (CISA, GEC) was already in place. How clever that the blob hides its First Amendment violations behind bureaucratic smoke and mirrors.
  18. Trump’s Swamp-Draining Nightmare
    Benz warns that Trump faces headwinds dismantling this censorship octopus, thanks to entrenched agencies like USAID and NED. How comforting that the deep state’s First Amendment abuses are so deeply rooted they resist elected oversight.
  19. The Blob’s Global Censorship Empire
    Benz details how the U.S. funds global censorship through university centers, media outlets, and NGOs. Our tax dollars export First Amendment violations to silence dissent worldwide.
  20. Constitutional Republic vs. Mob Rule
    Benz contrasts our constitutional republic—where minority rights are protected—with the blob’s “institutional democracy,” where the mob silences dissent. How fitting that the Framers’ vision of free speech is now sacrificed to the blob’s Orwellian redefinition of democracy.

For Democrats and the Deep State — but I repeat myself — the First Amendment is but one obstacle on their path to subjugation and control.

Ohio Democrats Try to Own The Right With Bill Banning Ejaculating Without Aim To Procreate

Ohio’s “pro-choice” lawmakers believe they’re owning the Right by proposing a bill that would ban men from ejaculating during sex without the intent of making babies. Democrat State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rade are desperately trying to make some kind of gotcha argument against abortion bans by demanding men pay a fine up to $10,000 if they’re caught doing so. That’s why they introduced “The Conception Begins at Erection Act” this week, attempting to twist the factual pro-life slogan, “life begins at conception” into some kooky radical theory. Of course, members of the “LGBTQ” alphabet brigade are exempt from this law. Your right to butt hump is still protected!

Oh FFS: Coca-Cola Blasted As ‘Woka-Cola’ Over Support For Men In Womens’ Sports And DEI

Coca-Cola is being blasted as “Woka-Cola” in an ad campaign highlighting the company’s support for men playing in women’s sports and its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda.

The ad campaign from Consumers’ Research hones in on the company’s leftwing advocacy and will feature a mobile billboard moving around Coca-Cola’s headquarters and museum in Atlanta.

“Coca-Cola should just call itself ‘Woka-Cola’ since it insists on putting woke politics ahead of its consumers,” Consumers’ Research Executive Director Will Hild told The Daily Wire. “Americans have made it abundantly clear that they want companies to stop pushing radical political agendas, but Coca-Cola refuses to listen.”

Consumers’ Research also sent out a “woke alert” highlighting Coca-Cola’s corporate advocacy for allowing men to play in women’s sports leagues and their broader support for the transgender movement. The organization previously hit the corporation over their support for DEI and their links to China.

Coca-Cola now sits on the advisory council of the Centre for Sport and Human Rights (CSHR), a leftist organization that advocates for “the inclusion of transgender athletes” in leagues that do not reflect their biological sex.

The group celebrated “the first openly transgender woman to compete” in the Olympics, male bodybuilder Laurel Hubbard.

We’re Living through the Biggest Scandal of All Time

All four of the biggest scandals in U.S. history have happened in just the past few years:

(a) the cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline;

(b) lawfare against Trump;

(c) the cover-up of Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling, and now; and

(d) billions wasted, by not just the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), but also by many other agencies, and being uncovered by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

In this writer’s opinion, it’s all a series of causes and desired effects.  The Democrat party Deep State (DPDS) loathe Trump.  They used every trick in their trick bag, from “Russia collusion” to lawfare to assassination attempts, to beat him and present Hillary, then Biden, then Kamala as a superior candidate.  The scams are the “why.”

The worst example is the vanishing migrant children.  Some of the NGOs getting contracts from Team Biden to house unaccompanied minors (now known as “child-trafficking victims”) were getting multi-billion-dollar contracts.  Over 300,000 of those children have simply vanished.

Anyone who made them vanish was, almost certainly, also paying the NGOs.  That’s the scam.  The NGOs were paid for taking the “raw materials” off Team Biden’s hands, and then they got paid again for the “finished product.”

Their CEOs received enormous salaries.  And as we know from the corporate world, the salaries may not be the biggest part of the compensation they received.  For example, here in Illinois, Michael Tipsord, CEO of State Farm Insurance, gets a salary of $2.4 million.  But his bonuses were $21.8 million.

8 Conspiracy Theories That the Mainstream Media Has Been Forced to Admit Are Actually True

There are 8 in this article, but there are many more out there. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine stopped Covid-19. We had Viet Nam won at the Tet Offensive except Walter Cronkite lied. Men can’t become women either. The Covid vaccine was safe and effective and preventing transmission or getting Covid-19. Obamacare, say no more there. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. One of the biggest is in the title, the mainstream media lies, all the time.

Here goes:

The mainstream media is in the habit of labeling something a “conspiracy theory” whenever they are attempting to discredit a particular point of view.  Of course, such “conspiracy theories” have been proven to actually be true time after time.  Meanwhile, the mainstream media has been caught in lie after lie in recent years.  As a result, trust in the media is the lowest that it has ever been in the entire history of our country.  At this point, most people realize that our largest media outlets are going to push the agenda of the globalists that own them, and they are going to be extremely hesitant to expose the big pharmaceutical companies and other giant corporations that spend billions of dollars to advertise on their networks.

The good news is that we have entered a period of time when the truth is coming out about so many things.  The American people are now demanding transparency and accountability from major institutions throughout our society, and that is a wonderful thing.  It is especially gratifying to see the mainstream media publicly admit mistakes that they have made.  The following are 8 “conspiracy theories” that the mainstream media has been forced to admit are actually true…



#1 The Lab Leak Theory

For years, we were told that the lab leak theory was just “disinformation”.  Of course now it has come out that certain individuals in very prominent positions waged a relentless campaign to discredit it.  They were desperate to keep a lid on what really happened, but now the truth has come out.  In fact, at this point even the CIA is publicly admitting that it is more likely than not that the lab leak theory is accurate…

The CIA has shifted its stance about the origin of the virus that causes Covid-19, NBC News reported on Saturday. The intelligence agency now believes that the coronavirus escaped from a Chinese lab, a shift from its previous stance, in which it did not take a position.

“CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting,” a CIA spokesperson said in a statement to NBC News.

#2 MKUltra

For decades, anyone that went on the air and talked about MKUltra was considered to be a nut.

But now hundreds of government documents prove that this CIA mind control program really did exist

Newly compiled records are spilling the beans on one of the CIA’s most notorious and shadowy programs: MKUltra, a wild attempt to develop mind control techniques through drugs, hypnosis, and psychological manipulation.

The collection was published by the Digital National Security Archive of The George Washington University in December 2024, detailing more than 1,200 documents on the CIA’s foray into behavioral and mind control experiments from 1953 until the 1970s.

Much of the information comes from records gathered by John Marks, a former State Department official who initiated the first Freedom of Information Act requests on the topic and authored the 1979 book The Search for the Manchurian Candidate.

We are actually very fortunate that these documents still exist, because in 1973 the director of the CIA specifically ordered that all records related to MKUltra must be destroyed…


In 1973, the director of the CIA, Richard Helms, ordered that all documents related to MKUltra be destroyed. However, a cache documents was discovered following a freedom of information request in 1977, which led to Senate hearings. MKUltra was declassified in 2001.

#3 Fluoride In Our Drinking Water Is Bad

For ages, authorities insisted that putting fluoride in our drinking water was good for us.  But now a federal judge has ruled that there is evidence that fluoride in the water could harm the intellectual development of our children.  The following comes from CNN

A federal judge has ordered the US Environmental Protection Agency to further regulate fluoride in drinking water because high levels could pose a risk to the intellectual development of children.

US District Judge Edward Chen cautioned that it’s not certain that the amount of fluoride typically added to water is causing lower IQ in kids, but he concluded that mounting research points to an unreasonable risk that it could be. He ordered the EPA to take steps to lower that risk, but didn’t say what those measures should be.

#4 There Are Cancer Causing Chemicals In Our Drinking Water

Over the past several years, the mainstream media has actually begun reporting on all of the nasty things that are showing up in the water that is coming out of our taps.

In fact, a study that was conducted in 2019 actually found 22 separate carcinogens in our drinking water…

  • Increased cancer risks were linked to 22 carcinogens found in the drinking water.
  • Contaminants included arsenic; radioactive materials, such as uranium and radium; and disinfectant byproducts, which are substances produced when chlorine and other additives are used in the treatment process.
  • Systems that rely on groundwater sources, such as aquifers, have higher concentrations of arsenic and radioactive materials and contribute to a higher risk of cancer.
  • Systems that rely on surface water sources, such as reservoirs, have a lower risk, but serve larger populations.
  • Water systems where droughts are more common may pose a higher risk, in part because drier conditions create an environment where contaminants become concentrated as water levels are reduced.

#5 The “Dumbing Down” Of America

For a lot of years, many of us in the alternative media have been talking about the “dumbing down” of America, but the mainstream media has continued to defend our system of education.



Unfortunately, it has become exceedingly clear that our kids are not alright.  The following comes from the Wall Street Journal

The reading skills of American students are deteriorating further, according to new national test scores that show no improvement in a yearslong slide.

The 67% of eighth-graders who scored at a basic or better reading level in 2024 was the lowest share since testing began in 1992, results from a closely watched federal exam show. Only 60% of fourth-graders hit that benchmark, nearing record lows.

The declines started before the pandemic, continued during it, and have persisted since.

#6 Prescription Drugs Kill Large Numbers Of Americans Every Single Year

For decades, alternative health practitioners and “conspiracy theorists” have been asserting that negative reactions to prescription drugs are one of the leading causes of death in the United States.  Thankfully, the mainstream media has been forced to admit this as well.  The following comes from a Vanity Fair article entitled “Deadly Medicine“…

Prescription drugs kill some 200,000 Americans every year. Will that number go up, now that most clinical trials are conducted overseas—on sick Russians, homeless Poles, and slum-dwelling Chinese—in places where regulation is virtually nonexistent, the F.D.A. doesn’t reach, and “mistakes” can end up in pauper’s graves?

#7 Aspartame Is Not Good For Our Health

Many of us have been warning about aspartame for ages, but the mainstream media just kept defending it.  Well, after reviewing the evidence the International Agency for Research on Cancer was forced to classify aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”

Assessments of the health impacts of the non-sugar sweetener aspartame are released today by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Citing “limited evidence” for carcinogenicity in humans, IARC classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2B) and JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.

#8 Operation Paperclip

Did you know that hundreds of Nazi scientists were smuggled out of Germany and brought to the United States in the aftermath of World War II?

And did you know that many of those scientists were used “to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons”?…

As World War II was entering its final stages, American and British organizations teamed up to scour occupied Germany for as much military, scientific and technological development research as they could uncover.

Trailing behind Allied combat troops, groups such as the Combined Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (CIOS) began confiscating war-related documents and materials and interrogating scientists as German research facilities were seized by Allied forces. One enlightening discovery—recovered from a toilet at Bonn University—was the Osenberg List: a catalogue of scientists and engineers that had been put to work for the Third Reich.

In a covert affair originally dubbed Operation Overcast but later renamed Operation Paperclip, roughly 1,600 of these German scientists (along with their families) were brought to the United States to work on America’s behalf during the Cold War. The program was run by the newly-formed Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), whose goal was to harness German intellectual resources to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons, and to ensure such coveted information did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.

I could list many other examples, but I think that you probably get my point by now.

Just because something is labeled a “conspiracy theory” does not mean that you can automatically dismiss it.

In fact, many of those that love to accuse others of spreading “disinformation” are some of the biggest liars of all.



In this day and age, it is so important to think for yourself and it is so important to know why you believe what you believe.

Let me give you a piece of advice that really helped me.

Question everything.

Hold on to what is true, and discard what is false.


We live at a time when deception is running rampant, and it is getting worse with each passing day.

Car Runs Into Crowd In Germany Injuring 28 (so far)

German police detained an Afghan refugee after a car slammed into a crowd in Munich, wounding more than two dozen people in what authorities said was a suspected attack.

The incident took place as world leaders including Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were converging ahead of this weekend’s Munich Security Conference.

It is likely to feed into a debate around immigration and crime that has dominated the campaign for the German election, which takes place in less than two weeks.

Trump Makes FAFO Great Again

MAGA. Everybody knows what it means. It is simple, direct, and patriotic. MAGA is not only a movement unto itself but also the parent to a family of exceptional complementary revolutions playing out at light speed: MAHA—Make America Healthy Again. DOGE—Department Of Government Efficiency. And the less-heralded, yet extremely effective FAFO—F*** Around and Find Out.

Laws are policies crafted, at least in theory, to secure constitutionally guaranteed freedoms for all Americans. Of course, there needs to be enforcement and accountability. Police and courts enforce the rule of law that ensures our freedom and that those who seek to avoid playing by the rules are sanctioned. Accountability.

President Trump has brought America roaring back from years of laws being ignored, subverted, and ill-applied. With the dawn of Make America Great Again, Make America Healthy Again and the Department Of Government Efficiency, Trump has gotten us back on track quickly, in part by drawing on the internet-cultural-age phenomena of  F*** around and find out.

FAFO is practiced in virtually every home, workplace, and religious institution. It has been part of the human experience since time began, and the internet gave it a wide forum. It’s why your kid comes home by the curfew you’ve set. It’s why you don’t steal copier paper from work. And, truth be told, it’s why you try really, really hard not to mess with the big guy upstairs. You just don’t want to find out.

I’d Take One For The Team – Content Creator Hasn’t Had A Date For Valentine’s Day In A Decade Because Of Her Big Boobs

t’s not as easy as you would think for OnlyFans models to land a date for Valentine’s Day. In fact, one content creator has struck out every year for a decade.

Erika Amore hasn’t been able to end her Valentine’s Day slump, and she knows exactly the reasons why. The first two reasons on the top of the list, she tells TMZ, are her 36K boobs.

How do her enormous boobs play into not being able to date? Good question. It turns out that the men she’s come in contact with don’t take her seriously.

Amore becomes more of a fetish to them than an actual date. In other words, they have a hard time getting past her boobs.

They treat them like “a shiny new toy,” one they toss aside when they’re finished. She says some of the guys she’s met are completely obsessed with them.
