Cracker Barrel Trying To Overtake Jaguar In Wokeness

“Cracker Barrel” is currently trending on X (along with “Texas Democrats” and “Newscum”) with a reported 25,000 posts. The last time we checked in on Cracker Barrel was April of 2024, when its new CEO said the brand wasn’t as “relevant” as it used to be and that the brand had to be “revitalized.”

We’ve made fun of brand revitalizations before, such as the barely perceptible update to Walmart’s logo to Jaguaur’s radical and widely panned “woke” rebrand that tanked its sales. Cracker Barrel on Wednesday unveiled its revitalized logo, and people aren’t thrilled with it..

This was the first thing I thought of also.

While MSM Screamed “Climate Crisis”, Arctic Ice Loss Actually Slowed  – For Tim O’Reilly Who Told Me Tides Were Rising

He turned out to be a troll in my timeline. The post was how the sea was rising and would swallow up miles of land around the world. The only thing that got swallowed were the global warming lies by the enviroweenies. My response was that history will prove that AGW and the Climate hoax they worship was wrong.

Here goes:

What the globalist corporate media once smeared as “conspiracy theory” and branded “misinformation” has turned out to be true: the climate crisis was merely an imaginary problem and an informational war on the minds of the taxpayer.

Why all the propaganda? Give Democrats cover for a massive heist of the U.S. Treasury, laundering taxpayer dollars through mysterious NGOs via the Green New Deal Inflation Reduction Act into radical leftist NGOs and politically connected green companies. It was never about saving the planet, as it turns out. 

Between 2019, when socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the Green New Deal (which ultimately failed), and President Biden’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022, the globalists, their corporate media outlets, and dark-money-funded NGOs unleashed a propaganda blitz by flooding the airwaves with record levels of “climate crisis” stories and left millions of folks with climate anxieties.

As soon as the heist was over … those climate crisis headlines, according to Bloomberg data this month, quite literally evaporated.

FAFO Time – Illegal Alien Influencer Who Allegedly Doxxed ICE Agents Arrested On Live Stream

Chaos ensued during the arrest of illegal alien influencer Tatiana Martinez while she was live streaming from her car in Los Angeles.  Martinez, known for tracking ICE agents and using her TikTok account to alert protesters to the locations of their arrests, is a Colombian citizen who entered the US in 2022 according to DHS.  She was released into the country by the Biden Administration along with millions of other illegals. 

According to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, Martinez was arrested for a previous DUI conviction in Los Angeles.  This makes her a prime target for deportation under Donald Trump’s crackdown on migrants.

Instagram And Meta Roll Out Friend Map, Taking Another Bite Out Of Your Privacy

If you support privacy, you probably aren’t using Instagram anyway, but if you have friends and family that still use it, you want to let them know about this new invasive feature Instagram is introducing.

Meta is rolling out three new Instagram updates, but one of them takes the platform into territory that should set off serious alarm bells for anyone who values privacy.

The first two changes are relatively harmless: a new option to repost public Reels and a “Friends” tab showing posts your contacts have liked or commented on.

The third is far more invasive: Instagram’s new “Friend Map,” a live-tracking system that lets you share your exact location with chosen contacts and see theirs in return.

Meta frames it as a way to “stay up-to-date with friends,” but its real value is to the company, not to you.

The feature mirrors Snapchat’s “Snap Map” and is being introduced first in the United States before a global release. Unlike meeting up for coffee, this kind of “connection” means giving Meta a constant feed of where you are, when you are there, and how often you go.

Learn To Code Turns Out To Be Bad Advice, Thanks Dem’s

For about a decade, big tech firms, the government, and corporate media outlets pushed endless streams of propaganda at young people to “learn to code,” luring them with promises of six-figure salaries and job security.

That hype fueled a boom in computer science majors, with the number of undergraduates more than doubling since 2014. But the coding-boom narrative has since collapsed, and a growing number of computer science graduates are finding few opportunities – some even ending up in fast-food jobs at chains like Chipotle. 

“Learn to code” actually turned out to be very terrible advice. 

Take the corporate media news matrix: According to Bloomberg data, the story count of “learn to code” exploded between 2015 and early 2021. Post 2021, those stories have dramatically subsided as reality sets in, and layoffs at major tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, combined with the rapid adoption of AI coding tools, have left many graduates unable to land jobs, according to The New York Times.  

Data via Bloomberg… 

The rhetoric was, if you just learned to code, work hard, and get a computer science degree, you can get six figures for your starting salary,” Manasi Mishra, now 21, who was quoted by the NYT. 

Mishra said in a viral TikTok video this summer that “I just graduated with a computer science degree, and the only company that has called me for an interview is Chipotle.” 

The NYT pointed out that unemployment among computer science and engineering grads has risen as high as 7.5%, which is more than double that of art history or biology majors.

It could have been Sally Yates, then FBI director who shut down the Hillary Clinton pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation.

“Shut it down!” then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., and Washington D.C. reported. 

The agents tried to get the help of federal prosecutors to determine whether or what crimes occurred while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, most notably, because at that time, her family foundation solicited hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign and U.S. interests with business before her department.

The ‘Ghastly’ Gamble: How the Clinton–Obama Intelligence Op Risked War to Take Down Trump

They sought to amplify it—to demonize him alongside Donald Trump and turn the Russian president into a political cudgel. The aim was to hang Putin like a leaden albatross around Trump’s neck as part of a broader strategy to bring Trump down.

This was a multi-pronged operation—inside and outside the government—with a domestic objective at its core: to destroy Trump before he could win or govern, by laundering a phony narrative through the Steele dossier and fabricated claims of collusion.

And by their own words, Putin was in the crosshairs too.

Which raises significant questions: What exactly were they trying to provoke? Were they attempting to drive U.S.-Russia relations into permanent hostility? A new Cold War—while risking a “hot” one?

They knew it could spark a geopolitical catastrophe. They did it anyway.

To goad a nuclear adversary into miscalculation? Or were U.S.-Russia relations simply collateral damage—acceptable fallout in a calculated effort to legitimize a manufactured Trump-Putin narrative and politically cripple their chosen target?

Perhaps there was a hierarchy of objectives, undoubtedly with Trump’s destruction at the top. But the targeting of Putin was not incidental. It was deliberate, and it cannot be dismissed.

The Durham annex makes that crystal clear.

One of the most revealing suspected emails cited in the declassified Durham annex didn’t come from an intelligence officer.

It came from Leonard Bernardo, a top official at George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, reacting to internal Clinton-camp discussions about how to frame the Russia narrative.

Julie says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire… Anyway, things are ghastly for US-Russian relations. —Leonard Bernardo, July 25, 2016 email (Durham Annex, pp. 9-10) [emphasis added].

The annex itself notes that “Julie” appears to refer to Julianne Smith, a foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

At the time, Smith was Director of the Transatlantic Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, where she served from 2014 to 2018. She later served as President Biden’s Ambassador to NATO from 2021 to 2024.

Let that sink in. As early as July 2016, a Soros-linked operative was acknowledging—privately—that the Clinton operation would weaponize intelligence, politicize federal law enforcement, and court geopolitical blowback—all to score a fleeting post-convention bounce, while openly admitting it was just the start of a long-term political operation.

And they knew the “ghastly” consequences it could have for U.S.-Russia relations.

The Durham annex notes that certain analysts and officers interviewed by the Special Counsel’s office assessed the Bernardo email—and others—as “likely authentic.” 

While Bernardo later denied some details, he reportedly acknowledged that describing U.S.-Russia relations as ‘ghastly’ was something he might say.

To grasp the recklessness of this operation, consider what Russia brings to the table:

  • Roughly 5,580 nuclear warheads—the largest stockpile on the planet.
  • A rapidly advancing arsenal of hypersonic missiles—including the Avangard, Kh-47M2 Kinzhal, and RS-28 Sarmat (NATO codename: Satan II)—engineered to bypass U.S. missile defenses and strike with near-unstoppable speed.
  • A fully modernized nuclear triad, comprising ICBMs, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and long-range strategic bombers.
  • A cyberwarfare force that has already disrupted NATO allies, global financial systems, and critical infrastructure.

Russia is not a country one antagonizes casually—least of all by fabricating evidence that its leader colluded with a U.S. presidential candidate.

Yet that’s precisely what Clinton allies—with Barack Obama’s tacit blessing—did.

Pelosi Outs Herself As A January 6th Architect

Nancy Pelosi is probably kicking herself over her most recent X post, because it opened a can of worms she never wanted spilled. But TDS got in the way, and she couldn’t help herself. In a desperate effort to smear President Trump’s plan to clean up DC’s deadly streets, Pelosi took to X and claimed that Trump “delayed” deploying the National Guard on January 6… a claim that instantly blew back on her, in a big way, dredging up an old debate about her role that day.

But even worse for Pelosi was the blistering response from former Capitol Police Chief Sund, which confirmed what most of us already knew – that Pelosi’s actions and decisions shaped what happened on January 6.

Here’s what she said in her X post.

Nancy Pelosi:

Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake. Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.

Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, “running it up the chain” for your approval.

When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.

They are certainly either gay, closeted, liberal and working in the media or politics, a man sucking up to his liberal girlfriend, or some combination of those traits.

A new YouGov poll confirms that normal Americans aren’t too offended by American Eagle’s new ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.

And that’s certainly not a shocker. Of course, the backlash to the ad came mostly from left-wing scolds obsessed with race and jealous of Sweeney.

According to the poll, only 12% of Americans found it “offensive.” That number sounds about right. Most well-adjusted people who don’t spend their days refreshing the MSNBC opinion section every minute or combing through LGBT Reddit threads are going to find the ad perfectly normal. Maybe not clever, and maybe not offensive, but just a typical advertisement that relies on the most tried-and-true strategy ever: sex sells.

DEI At the DC Police Force? Chief Doesn’t Know What Chain Of Command Is (Because you don’t need one with DEI, It’s beyond the Peter Principle)

Washington D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith was humiliated earlier today after revealing that she apparently doesn’t know what the term “chain of command” means.

During a press briefing, a reporter asked Smith “Do you know what the chain of command is now?” referring to President Trump having deployed National Guard troops to the capital to restore law and order.

Smith looked puzzled and responded “What does that mean?”

If you care, there is a lot more here.

Trump announced the deployment of approximately 800 National Guard troops to D.C. alongside the federalization of the city’s Metropolitan Police Department, citing a “public safety emergency” due to what he described as rampant crime and lawlessness in the nation’s capital.

Trump invoked Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to take control of the police for up to 48 hours during emergencies, extendable to 30 days with congressional notification, to justify this unprecedented move.

He claimed the city had been “overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals,” pointing to high-profile incidents like the assault of a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer during an attempted carjacking.

‘Now it’s quiet, we can swim’ – After foreigners banned from Swiss pool, season ticket sales surge and police incidents stop

SHARE

After all foreigners were banned from a Swiss swimming pool in Porrentruy over violence, sexual harassment and constant disturbances, Swiss visitors to the pool and employees are generally expressing happiness with the move.

The ban, which came about after “French youths with a migration background” continuously caused problems at the pool and in pool bathrooms, including sexual harassment of young girls. The situation even sparked international headlines.

However, the Swiss paper 20 Minuten reported a surge in season ticket sales after the ban was put in place.

“It went very well. Citizens have rediscovered the bathing establishment with the peace and quiet that comes with it,“ said Lionel Maître, the municipal councilor for tourism and leisure in Porrentruy. “We have seen an increase in season ticket sales as citizens have finally regained the long-awaited sense of security. There have been no problems and no new bathing bans since then.”

Maître said that it had become increasingly noticeable that the perpetrators had Arabic names.

Apollo News also reported that the need for security has suddenly disappeared since the ban on foreigners.

Most Americans Reject Fall COVID Shot, Don’t Trust CDC Or FDA On Vaccine Safety

Hey, I’m shocked that anyone would get jabbed at this point. My only question is who are the 21% that are the dumbasses who are getting it again.

In a sweeping signal that Americans are waking up to the dangers of coerced medicine and captured regulation, a new KFF (formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation) poll reveals that the majority of Americans do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine this fall, and less than half trust the CDC or FDA to ensure vaccine safety.

The nationwide erosion of confidence in federal health agencies and their pharmaceutical partnerships is welcomed by those who have long called for accountability, transparency, and the restoration of informed consent in American medicine.

Most Say ‘No’ to COVID Vaccine

According to the KFF Health Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust, conducted July 8–14, 2025:

  • 59% of U.S. adults say they will either “definitely not” or “probably not” receive a COVID-19 vaccine this fall.
  • Only 21% say they will “definitely get” the shot.
  • Republicans are the least likely to receive the vaccine, with 59% stating they will “definitely not” take it.
  • Among White adults, 42% say they will “definitely not” get the shot.

These findings follow a growing body of evidence discrediting the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.

CDC insists people get MORE COVID shots, despite long list of dangerous side effects

This is posted at the same time as the post about Americans refusing the jab because they know it’s dangerous and it doesn’t work. I did it on purpose so read both.

Just so you know that the CDC is a bunch of CSMF who don’t have your health in their best interest. Here’s your tip of the day, keep the government out of your medical life as much as possible.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is insisting people take MORE COVID shots this year, despite a long list of serious side effects that include cardiac arrest – or death.

The shots were introduced during the pandemic several years ago that circled the globe and killed millions.

They all were introduced under an “experimental” label as manufacturers wanted to start selling them before the ordinary testing procedures were done.

The medical establishment, including such high-profile personalities like Anthony Fauci, the adviser to Joe Biden on COVID who once insisted that arguing with him was arguing with “the science,” publicly rejected existing treatments that could, and did, help some people, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, because for the experimental products to be used there was a requirement that other treatments not be available.

Now comes this year’s advisory in which the CDC repeatedly demands people get the shots, without a single word about the potentially lethal side effects.

There’s more here if you care. I just do the opposite of what they recommend now and feel much safer.

Here’s The List Of Obama’s Scandals In His “No Scandal” Administration – Liar

Treason isn’t always a single, dramatic act. Sometimes, it’s a slow-acting poison, administered over years to weaken a nation from within.

Barack Obama didn’t just sell secrets; he sold out America’s future, its power, and its pride, one “fundamental transformation” at a time.

He was a traitor in plain sight.

This thread is the toxicology report.🧵Number five will infuriate you.

The Apology Tour. His presidency began with a global tour apologizing for American power. In Cairo, he elevated the Muslim world. In Europe, he denigrated America’s “arrogance.” He signaled to our enemies that the era of American confidence was over, inviting the chaos that followed.

The Betrayal in Benghazi. On September 11, 2012, he left four Americans, including an Ambassador, to die at the hands of terrorists in Libya. Then, he and Hillary Clinton stood over their caskets and lied to their families, blaming a YouTube video to protect his re-election campaign. It was an act of supreme and unforgivable dishonor.

The Iran Nuclear Surrender. He sent pallets of cash, in the dead of night, to the world’s leading state sponsor of terror in Iran. His “deal” did not stop their nuclear program; it funded it. He paved their path to a bomb while alienating our most critical allies in the region, like Israel.

The Syrian “Red Line” Humiliation. He drew a “red line” on Assad’s use of chemical weapons, then did nothing when Assad gassed his own people. This single act of cowardice shattered American credibility on the world stage and gave a green light to adversaries like Vladimir Putin to act with impunity.

The Bergdahl Betrayal. He traded five high-level Taliban commanders—terrorists now back on the battlefield—for Bowe Bergdahl, a soldier who deserted his post. In doing so, he betrayed every soldier who risked their life searching for Bergdahl and signaled to the world that America negotiates with terrorists.

The Gutting of the U.S. Military. Through budget sequestration and a deliberate strategy of “leading from behind,” his administration hollowed out our armed forces. He shrunk the Navy, aged the Air Force, and demoralized our troops with social experimentation, leaving America weaker and more vulnerable.

Weaponizing the IRS. His IRS, under Lois Lerner, systematically targeted and persecuted conservative and Tea Party groups to silence them ahead of an election. This was a direct assault on the First Amendment, turning the most feared agency of the state against his own political citizens.

The “Fast and Furious” Scandal. His Department of Justice intentionally allowed thousands of guns to be sold to Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the murder of hundreds, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. They armed our enemies and got an American hero killed.

The Obamacare Deception. He looked the American people in the eye and repeatedly promised, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” It was a calculated, knowing lie—named “Lie of the Year”—designed to defraud the public into accepting a government takeover of their healthcare.

Spying on the Press. His DOJ secretly seized the phone records of Associated Press journalists and formally labeled Fox News reporter James Rosen a “criminal co-conspirator” to monitor his communications. When the press exposed his secrets, he treated them like spies.

The Godfather of the Russia Hoax. The entire seditious conspiracy to frame Donald Trump began in his administration. It was his FBI that launched Crossfire Hurricane. It was his DOJ that obtained the fraudulent FISA warrants. He laid the groundwork for the coup against his successor.

The War on American Energy. He used the EPA as a weapon to block pipelines, kill the coal industry, and strangle domestic oil and gas production with crushing regulations. His policies made America weaker, poorer, and more dependent on foreign dictators for our energy.

Releasing Terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. His administration released hundreds of terrorists and enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay. Unsurprisingly, a significant number returned directly to the battlefield to kill Americans and our allies. He knowingly freed our enemies.

The Shadow President. Even now, he operates a shadow government from his mansion in Washington D.C., coordinating the “resistance” and the Deep State’s war against the current Trump administration. He never relinquished power; he merely moved it into the shadows.

This is not a record of policy differences. It is a clear and undeniable pattern of action designed to weaken America’s standing, security, and sovereignty. This is the charge sheet of a man who worked against the very nation he swore an oath to protect. He must be held accountable.

Beijing Pays Influencers In Africa To Spread Anti-US Messaging

Why do we want to be friends with them? Why did the Clintons and Bidens sell out to them? Money over country?

JOHANNESBURG—Chinese and Russian agents are paying social media influencers in Africa to spread anti-U.S. messages worldwide, with the Trump administration being a top target, media experts say.

Illustration by The Epoch Times, Shutterstock

Their research reveals that many influencers who use the TikTok platform are earning hundreds to thousands of dollars per month by disseminating misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda that benefits Beijing and Moscow.

The studies align with information presented to Congress on July 22 by U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the U.S. military in Africa.

Analysts say China, Russia, and other malign actors are taking advantage of an information void created by the White House’s decision to cut financial aid to Africa, which has impacted the funding of media previously supported by the U.S. government.

In 2024, the Washington-based Africa Center for Strategic Studies documented nearly 200 pro-Kremlin and pro-China social media campaigns in each major region of Africa, with the Chinese regime’s influencers particularly active in Southern and West Africa.

One of Africa’s most popular social media figures has told The Epoch Times she’s receiving money to distribute information that makes Russia and China “happy.”

This is mostly messages about Trump,” she said, asking that her name be withheld so that she didn’t “anger” her employers and lose income.

She said influencers working for Moscow and Beijing receive payments online via sites that facilitate paid promotions, with South Africa’s Lit marketplace one of the more popular systems.

The money we’re making like this can be a few thousand dollars every month; it all depends on how popular our posts turn out,” she said.

As If Covid Weren’t Enough – Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.

Oh for Pete’s sake, can’t you just leave us alone? These people couldn’t pour water out of a boot if there were instructions on the sole.

A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted experiment on a retired aircraft carrier that sought to test a machine for creating clouds.  

But behind the scenes, they were planning a much larger and potentially riskier study of salt-water-spraying equipment that could eventually be used to dim the sun’s rays — a multimillion-dollar project aimed at producing clouds over a stretch of ocean larger than Puerto Rico.

The details outlined in funding requests, emails, texts and other records obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News raise new questions about a secretive billionaire-backed initiative that oversaw last year’s brief solar geoengineering experiment on the San Francisco Bay.

They also offer a rare glimpse into the vast scope of research aimed at finding ways to counter the Earth’s warming, work that has often occurred outside public view. Such research is drawing increased interest at a time when efforts to address the root cause of climate change — burning fossil fuels — are facing setbacks in the U.S. and Europe. But the notion of human tinkering with the weather and climate has drawn a political backlash and generated conspiracy theories, adding to the challenges of mounting even small-scale tests.

Once-secret report confirms U.S. intel used Steele Dossier to push narrative Putin helped Trump

newly-declassified House Intelligence Committee report alleges that the Obama-era intelligence assessment on Russian election meddling used the discredited Steele Dossier to underpin its conclusion that Vladimir Putin aspired to help Donald Trump win the 2016 election, directly challenging the testimony of officials like CIA Director John Brennan, who denied that had happened.

The report, released Thursday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard after years of being locked away at the CIA, also alleges the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment “glossed over” evidence that Putin may have instead favored (or at least fully expected) a Hillary Clinton victory nine years ago.

“The judgment that Putin developed a ‘clear preference’ for candidate Trump and ‘aspired to help his chances of victory’ did not adhere to the tenets of the ICD (Intelligence Community Directive) analytical standards,” the report found.

“The ICA ignored and selectively quoted reliable intelligence reports that challenged and in some cases undermined judgments that Putin sought to elect Trump,” the report added. “The ICA failed to consider plausible alternative explanations of Putin’s intentions indicated by reliable intelligence and observed Russian actions.”

They Buried The Truth To Destroy Trump

excerpt:

Washington was still in a stupor in the weeks following the shocking—at least to some—election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States. Precisely a month after Election Day, the next chapter of the story began.

On December 8, 2016, President Obama was scheduled to receive a classified President’s Daily Brief (PDB) the following day, which would assess Russian interference in the 2016 election. 

The verdict? “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results” through cyber means. The Intelligence Community (IC) expressed only “low-to-moderate confidence” that any foreign operation had even attempted to tamper with election infrastructure.

The facts were clear: no votes had changed, and no election systems had been breached.

Before December 8, internal IC consensus held that Russia lacked both the intent and the capability to corrupt the vote. A September 12 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) had concluded that foreign adversaries “do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyberattacks” on U.S. election infrastructure.

Yet by mid-December, the CIA publicly attributed intent not merely to disrupt but to help Trump win—a stark departure from what agencies, including the FBI and CIA, had privately concluded.

See, It’s Sh*t Like This That Pisses Me Off – Insider confirms scheme under Obama to manipulate intelligence to hurt Trump – Part II

John Brennan and Barack Obama

An insider in America’s intelligence community who now has turned whistleblower says he refused to concur in the manipulated intelligence assessment created under Barack Obama that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help candidate Donald Trump, and immediately was excluded from further discussions.

Further, his concerns about the falsehoods being pushed by that agenda were ignored, he said.

A report in the Washington Times cites the whistleblower, unidentified, in explaining he was pressured by his Obama administration superiors to go along with the staged arguments.

Evidence being found in newly declassified documents suggests that Hillary Clinton fabricated the Russiagate scandal for Trump because of concerns voters would remember her scandalous behavior when she put national secrets on an unsecured computer server she set up.

The documents also suggested the campaign to fabricate claims of links between Trump’s campaign and Russia was aided by Democrat officials from Obama down.

More information has been promised, and multiple Obama-era officials already have been referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and possible charges.

The Examiner reported the senior U.S. intel official confirmed he was pressured to endorse the false conclusions created under the anti-Trump scheme, and then he was cut out of discussions.

The Free Ride Is Over, Student Loan Interest Resumes August 1st

FWIW, Covid was a tool by DC, not an emergency.

Starting Friday, federal student loans under the SAVE (“Saving on a Valuable Education”) repayment plan will begin accruing interest again. This affects approximately 7.7 million to 8 million borrowers, said federal stats  — interest had been paused during ongoing legal action.

Advocacy group estimates suggest this will cost the typical borrower around $3,500 per year in interest, which breaks down to about $300 extra per month on average, according to the Education Department. 

Courts invalidated key provisions of the SAVE program, including the zero‑interest feature. A court injunction requires loan servicers to begin charging interest again starting Friday.

The U.S. federal government suspended interest on student loans—and paused payments and collections—primarily due to the COVID‑19 emergency.

Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark is clearly the face of the WNBA, there’s no doubt about that. But you know how a lot of people are today, they’ll just hate and lie like it’s nothing. But Clark’s teammate and unofficial bodyguard Sophie Cunningham, she isn’t playing that, taking to her “Show Me Something” podcast to clap back at haters who say Clark isn’t the face of the league.

It was announced Wednesday that Cunningham inked a contract with Colin’ Cowherd’s “The Volume” podcast company to launch her own, which was followed by her first episode later on in the day. And she got things off to an absolute bang!

EPA Undoes Obama-Era Carbon Emissions Regs … For Now

n brief, the Trump administration is seeking to free the American people from the shackles of the cult of climate alarmism. Zeldin’s tactic is not to argue the science, which is unsettled, but to challenge the EPA’s authority to classify GHGs as “pollutants” and then, in turn, regulate them as such.

Is climate change primarily caused by mankind? According to much of the scientific establishment, the answer to that question is an unequivocal, yes. Indeed, this view that mankind is responsible for climate change, or as it was previously called, global warming, has become climate dogma.

But as much as politicians, activists, and others claim it is “settled science,” the fact is that it is anything but settled. There remain critical questions and unknowns regarding climate science, as evidenced by repeated instances of climate change projections being proven erroneous.

Climate change has been a constant reality on planet Earth since its beginning, and its causes are not fully known or understood, despite the hubris surrounding the issue. The Earth’s climate is a complex system that scientists are still trying to understand.

Therefore, when a substance such as carbon dioxide — a naturally occurring gas that is an essential component for life on this planet — is labeled a “pollutant,” it’s understandable that some would object.

Of course, the reason carbon dioxide has been classified as such is that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased as a result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels. Scientists link higher saturation levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with greater heat-trapping effects, concluding that mankind is responsible for global warming, which they warn will have massive negative impacts on the planet should it continue unchecked. That, in a nutshell, is the “science” of anthropogenic climate change.

It is based upon this understanding, this doctrinaire belief, that lawmakers have established laws and regulations to limit fossil fuel-based carbon dioxide emissions. This has been expanded to other human activity that contributes to “greenhouse gases” (GHGs), which include methane gas (also a naturally occurring substance) and other gases.

In the 2007 case Massachusetts v. EPA, the Supreme Court considered the issue of whether the Environmental Protection Agency could regulate GHGs under the Clean Air Act. The Court ruled 5-4 that “greenhouse gases fit well within the Act’s capacious definition of ‘air pollutant,’” meaning the “EPA has statutory authority to regulate emission of such gases.” Tellingly, the Court noted that “policy judgments have nothing to do with whether greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change and do not amount to a reasoned justification for declining to form a scientific judgment.” Instead, the Court said that the EPA had the authority to determine whether GHGs “cause or contribute to air pollution which may be reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, or whether the science is too uncertain to make a reasoned decision.” This has been referred to as the EPA’s endangerment finding.

The focus in the case was the EPA’s authority to regulate vehicle emissions, but the ruling has been applied much more broadly to effectively encompass any industry that produces GHG emissions.

Of course, the auto industry has been most directly impacted by the Court’s ruling, as the EPA introduced a slew of regulations that have significantly increased the cost of cars. Furthermore, the Biden administration sought to use the EPA’s GHG regulatory power to effectively force automakers into adopting and scaling up production of electric vehicles with the eventual goal of eliminating gas-powered cars entirely. Included in Joe Biden’s erroneously named Inflation Reduction Act, which passed in 2022, was a clause that specifically classified carbon dioxide and other GHGs as “pollutants” regulated by the EPA.

Now, President Donald Trump is pursuing a pro-growth, pro-energy agenda, and his administration has been working to eliminate many of the hurdles to economic growth that the Democrat administrations of both Barack Obama and Biden put in place.

With Trump successfully securing favorable trade deals across the globe, one of the biggest industries that will benefit from these deals is the American auto industry. And the last thing the auto industry needs is GHG emission regulations that hamper growth.

Thus, in March, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin rolled out a deregulation agenda wherein he promised to drive “a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more.”

Dear Alise And The Rest Of The Baby Killers, World’s youngest premature baby weighed in at just 10 ounces, now is 1 year old

That’s right. They can survive and are living beings at a time you think they don’t feel pain. How could you be so cruel? FWIW, I had a fight at work with Alise and was so taken aback that a female who had given birth in the past year wanted to kill babies because she was a liberal.

A can of soda weighs in at an arm-breaking 12 ounces. A large slice of pizza, maybe inflicting only a sprain, weighs around 8 ounces.

Nash Keen, when he was born 19 weeks premature, weighed in right between those, at 10 ounces.

And now he’s a smiling, bouncing, engaging baby boy of one year old.

The Christian Institute in the United Kingdom marked the birthday for Keen, born to an Iowa family at 21 weeks, one day earlier than the previous Guinness World Record holder.

“He spent the first six months in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa, but is now home,,” the institute reported.

“His mum Mollie thought they would lose him,” the report said.

“I had to take it one day at a time. I focused on the small victories and leaned hard on my support system,” she explained.

“Being in the NICU as long as he was, you’d think that he would be, you know, more fragile and stuff. And he’s not. He’s a very determined, curious little boy, and he’s just all smiles all the time,” she continued.

The Problems With LinkedIn

I asked AI to tell me about the state of the application. To be transparent, I loathe it and find it full of Facebook behavior and cringeworthy posts about how their jobs are better than they actually are. When you are forced to act positive to pay your bills, you’ll do a lot of things and say a lot of things. I won’t, which is why I make fun of it.

When it went woke, I changed personal information like I now attended Faber College (Knowledge Is Good) and was in the Delta Tau Chi Fraternity. I rarely go there as I never liked many of the people I had to work with. I’m connected to people who I don’t even know who they are now.

If they read this and kick me off the platform, my life will stay the same.

Anyway…..

LinkedIn is widely known as the premier professional networking platform, but it has several notable downsides that users frequently criticize. Here are some of the major negative aspects of LinkedIn:

  • Superficial Connections: Many users accumulate large networks filled with contacts who never engage meaningfully. This leads to bloated connection lists that dilute the value of professional relationships, as people accept connection requests without real interaction or intent to collaborate

.

Decline in Professionalism: As LinkedIn incorporates more social media-style features, posts often mix personal anecdotes, motivational quotes, memes, and other non-professional content. This shift can clutter users’ feeds and make it harder to find truly valuable industry insights

.

Engagement Fatigue: LinkedIn pushes frequent posting and interaction, which can cause burnout. Users may feel pressured to constantly share updates or personal stories, leading to diminished quality of engagement or avoidance of the platform altogether

.

Privacy Concerns: LinkedIn collects extensive personal and professional data that can be accessed by many parties, including third-party apps and advertisers. Despite privacy settings, users’ work histories and contact info may be visible to unintended audiences, raising concerns about data security and professional repercussions

Recruiter Messages and Spam: Users often receive generic or overly persistent messages from recruiters offering “amazing opportunities” without clear details. The recruitment process on LinkedIn sometimes feels impersonal and overbearing, causing frustration

.

Paid Features and Double-Dipping: LinkedIn charges employers for job postings but also offers paid options for applicants to appear higher in candidate lists. This “pay-to-win” approach can erode trust in the fairness of job applications and make desperate applicants look vulnerable

.

Inauthentic Endorsements: The endorsements feature, meant to validate skills, is often abused through reciprocal endorsement schemes, leading many to distrust their legitimacy. Users prefer direct personal references over these watered-down public endorsements

.

Pressure to Maintain a Polished Professional Image: Users may feel stressed to constantly portray an idealized version of themselves, leading to a lack of authenticity and anxiety around online presence. This pressure can create a gap between true skills and the curated profile displayed

.

Content Overload and Quality Decline: In the race for visibility, some users share low-value or repetitive posts, which reduces overall content quality. Finding useful and relevant information amid the noise becomes challenging

.

Algorithmic Bias and Networking Barriers: LinkedIn’s reliance on connections can disadvantage users with smaller networks, creating barriers to access jobs and professional opportunities. Networking pressure and algorithmic choices may favor some profiles over others unfairly

.

Customer Service and Billing Issues: Some users report unexpected charges, difficulty canceling paid services, and poor customer support responsiveness regarding billing disputes, contributing to user dissatisfaction

.

Annoying or Irrelevant Connection Requests: Many LinkedIn users receive random or spammy connection requests, often from salespeople or automated bots, which undermines the platform’s professional integrity

.

Toxic Positivity and Questionable Content: The platform sometimes promotes overly optimistic or non-substantive posts, which can feel disingenuous or out of place for a professional network

  • .

These points highlight that while LinkedIn is a powerful tool for professional networking and career development, it is not without significant flaws. Users must navigate issues with privacy, content quality, network authenticity, and platform commercialization while managing their own professional image carefully. Being aware of these challenges can help users better leverage LinkedIn’s benefits while avoiding its pitfalls.

WNBA Can’t Stop Stepping On It’s Own Dick

This has to hurt Angel’s pride …

Ice Cube and his BIG3 basketball league offered a $5 million contract to Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark for her to come play for the new operation, with Clark turning down the deal ultimately. But if you thought that would open up a massive payday for her loud-mouthed rival Angel Reese, you ended up being wrong — way wrong.

TMZ Sports happened to chop it up with Cube recently while he was at LAX, questioning if there were any plans to make Reese a similar offer to Clark’s. Cube was real about it, saying that Reese might not be able to get that kind of figure. (RELATED: Jeopardy Contestant Has Big Swing And Miss With ‘Who Is Caitlin Clark?’ Answer)

Cube stressed that he doesn’t have a problem whatsoever with Reese, but he was completely honest about the BIG3’s sponsors and their ability to be able to make the Chicago Sky superstar such an offer. Per Cube, the sponsors believe Clark would bring in a ton of money for the league, but “they didn’t tell us the same thing about Angel Reese.”

The legendary rapper closed out by saying, “I don’t know if we can make that same offer.”

WNBA Hits New Level Of Embarrassment After Game Stops Over … Wig?

The biggest joke of a sports league keeps getting to be more of a joke, even with a bonified superstar, Caitlin Clark, whom they beat the shit out of every game.

I knew women were sensitive about their hair, but damn!

Despite having Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark and her heated rivalry with Chicago Sky superstar Angel Reese, the WNBA is a league that you just can’t take seriously considering how dysfunctional it is.

Just look at what happened Sunday in the game between the Phoenix Mercury and Washington Mystics that ended up temporarily halting action. A player lost their wig, and it led to an incredible amount of embarrassment, and yes, more than just stopping the contest.

The player in question was Mercury guard Kahleah Copper, who grabbed her wig and then sprinted off the court back to the locker room. Copper’s wig fell off after being snatched by her teammate Jade Melbourne, who was attempting to get over on a screen.

Climate Change Narrative Getting Killed By Facts (and cooler weather) – There Never Was A Crisis

Here’s what the ECMWF is forecasting for Europe the next 7 days:

Source: ECMWF via Snowfan

Earlier this year, the usual suspects were putting out horror scenarios of a summer of heat and drought across Europe in 2025. The most extreme model runs, with temperatures soaring to 45°C, were presented as serious forecasts and as being worrying evidence of runaway climate change.

But now the opposite has occurred and the fear-mongers are now either quiet or simply distorting the facts.

Especially in Central Europe, like across Germany, the weather has turned cool and rainy.

Germany’s Das Wetter.com here recently has since warned of 30 com of snowfall in the Alps – in July!:

Anyone who thought the last few weeks had been cool and changeable should dress warmly. Because from Monday, temperatures across Germany will continue to plummet. This is due to a wave of cold Arctic air rushing in from the far north. Highs of under 20 degrees will then be the reality in many places – in July!”

Heavy snow in the Alps in July

In his article, meteorologist Johannes Habermehl then adds that the snow line in the Alps will be dropping “to just 2500 meters – in some places even lower”, with some forecasting “up to 30 centimetres of fresh snow” at higher altitudes.

And that’s during peak summer!

Global temps plummet

Climate Armageddon Canceled

Lowest Six-Month Human Death Toll From Bad Weather Since Records Began

Something rather odd is happening to the weather. Millions, nay billions, are on the move fleeing droughts, floods, wildfires, runaway temperatures, rising sea levels (see any mainstream media page climate page to fill in rest of sentence). Armageddon will only be put on pause when hard-Left elites take control of the climate and corral us all into their fantasy world of Net Zero. But hold on a minute – news just in. The first half of 2025 has seen the smallest number of deaths related to extreme weather since records began. And more weird weather news – despite boiling seas, all four northern hemisphere ocean basins in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are running below average on accumulated cyclone energy. The North Atlantic has seen very little activity with the ACE energy measurement from January 1st to July 21st running at only 41% of the 1991-2020 average.

The cyclone news is natural variation of course, but don’t let on to climate fanatics. The news on deaths from extreme weather is not. It is a long-term trend that has seen weather fatalities plunge by over 99% during the last 100 years. As hydrocarbon use pulls billions out of grinding poverty, so fortunate humans can use the extra wealth to protect themselves against all that Nature throws at life on Earth.

So for people I had to work with like Tom Raftery, Tim O’Reilly and James Governor, the gig is up and so are the lies, but go on believing your religion.

And this gem:

By the numbers the scam is almost comical: 384 individual charging ports, $7.5 billion burned, $19.5 million per plug. That’s enough to buy every Tesla owner in America a home charger—twice—yet all taxpayers got was a handful of glorified parking spots.

WHO POCKETED THE CASH? • EVgo, ChargePoint, and Electrify America—all heavy Democratic donors—walked away with the biggest CFI grants. • The Greenlining Institute, NAACP Climate Initiative, and West Harlem Environmental Action were hired as “equity consultants” at $1,200 an hour to ensure 40 % of funds flowed to “underserved communities” per Biden’s 2021 “Justice40” diktat. • BlueGreen Alliance (a coalition of the Sierra Club and the United Steelworkers) lobbied for set-asides that require every single station to use union-only labor—driving costs up another 30 %. • BlackRock’s Climate Finance Partnership skimmed management fees on green bonds floated to finance the program.

Search engines are not neutral tools – Especially Google

Washington has long debated whether public institutions like NPR or the Department of Education are pushing ideological agendas. But in focusing on traditional media and academia, policymakers may be missing the real source of influence over the American mind: Silicon Valley.

Specifically, search engines and platforms with global reach are shaping political discourse far more aggressively—and covertly—than any publicly funded outlet.

Search engines are not neutral tools. They’re curated environments, programmed by people with perspectives. And when one company dominates search—handling over 90% of global traffic—it wields unprecedented control over what information gets seen and what gets buried.

Concerns about political bias in tech aren’t just speculation. Internal company leaks, congressional testimony, and peer-reviewed research have revealed how digital platforms quietly steer public opinion—often without users realizing it.

Government Waste That Should Really Piss You Off

Why have there been so many air traffic control issues lately? Is it because Trump has begun to trim a little fat from the bloated federal bureaucracy, as the media would have us believe? Or is it because for 4 years the secretary of transportation was a left-wing nitwit whose only job qualification was that he is ostentatiously homosexual?

The Air Traffic Control is being run off of diskettes, Musk found that out.

The New York Post reports:

Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.

The effect of DEI on air safety is predictable.

In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.

According to Democrat ideology, transportation makes it be too hot outside by requiring energy, so why would he want to facilitate Americans having more of it?

What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years — at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show.

Again we see that the Biden Administration was not so much a government as a looting spree.

“He was definitely pushing an agenda,” an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had “little to no interest” and took “definitely zero action” toward air traffic control modernization.

Gobbling up our money on behalf of their malevolent agenda is the whole point for Democrats. That’s why their transportation secretary was not required to know anything about transportation.

As of last month, an Emerson College poll of registered voters found the former transportation secretary leading the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field with 16% support, followed by ex-Vice President Kamala Harris at 13%.

Among Democrats, this kooky and incompetent creep is a star.

DNIGabbard said on Wednesday that she was referring former President Barack Obama for criminal charges to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“We have referred and will continue to refer all these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this,” Gabbard said.

“The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,” she continued.

“There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.”

So he was in charge of going after Trump on top of trying to ruin America, paying off terrorists in Iran and is doing a poor job of staying in the closet.

When You’ll Do Anything For The D

Democratic party that is, like take drugs and be power hungry. So she was a druggie

A newly declassified report produced in September 2020 by the House Intelligence Committee revealed that, in 2016, Russian intelligence had obtained internal Democratic National Committee emails alleging that Hillary Clinton was on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers and faced several serious illnesses as well.

According to the report:

The SVR [Russia’s foreign intelligence service] possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from “intensified psycho-emotional problems including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.” Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers” and while afraid of losing, she remained “obsessed with a thirst for power.

The report claims that former President Barack Obama and Democratic Party leaders found Clinton’s health issues to be “extraordinarily alarming.”

As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service had DNC information that President Obama and Party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be “extraordinarily alarming,” and felt it could have “serious negative impact” on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in ‘strictest secrecy’ and even close advisors were not being fully informed.

The Russians also reportedly had information that Clinton “suffered from ‘Type 2 diabetes, Ischemic heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.’”

According to Fox News, the Russians had also obtained a “campaign email discussing a plan approved by Secretary Clinton to link Putin and Russian hackers to candidate Trump in order to ‘distract the American public’ from the Clinton email server scandal.”

Gabbard discussed the report during a press briefing on Wednesday. While her main focus was on the portion that related to the Obama administration’s manipulation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election (which I reported on here), Gabbard said there were “high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary’s, quote, psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.”

As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had Democratic National Committee (DNC) information that President Obama and party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be “extraordinarily alarming” and felt it could have “serious negative impact” on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in “strictest secrecy,” and even close advisors were not being fully informed.

The SVR possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from “intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.” Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers,” and while afraid of losing, she remained “obsessed with a desire for revenge.”

The SVR also had information that Clinton suffered from “Type 2 diabetes, congestive heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.”

Tired Of Obamacare Yet? You’re Really Going To Be Pissed Off Now

Medical care costs are surging already. A big leap is coming.

Health Care Shock Coming

The Wall Street Journal reports Obamacare Insurers Seek Double-Digit Premium Hikes Next Year

If you buy your own health insurance, you are probably going to pay more next year—a lot more.

Insurers are seeking hefty 2026 rate increases for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, the coverage known as Obamacare. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois wants a 27% hike, while its sister Blue Cross plan in Texas is asking for 21%. The largest ACA plans in Washington state, Georgia and Rhode Island are all looking for premiums to surge more than 20%.

The companies say the big increases are needed because of higher healthcare costs and changing federal policy, including cuts to subsidies that help consumers pay for plans. The higher premiums would come after years of enrollment growth and mostly single-digit rate increases in the Obamacare market, where individuals and families buy insurance for themselves. About 24 million people have ACA plans.

At the request of The Wall Street Journal, the health-research nonprofit KFF analyzed the rate requests for the largest ACA plans by enrollment in 17 states where the insurers’ filings have already become public, as well as the District of Columbia. They showed that some of the biggest national ACA players, including Centene and Elevance Health, are seeking double-digit increases in several states. The Blue Cross & Blue Shield plans of Texas and Illinois are both owned by Health Care Service, a giant nonprofit.

Most Obamacare enrollees’ monthly insurance bills will go up substantially next year because of reductions in federal subsidies that help pay for their coverage. Enhanced payments passed by Congress in 2021 will lapse at the end of December. The drop-off in subsidies is both helping to drive higher premiums and making it harder for many consumers to pay them.

Some people “are going to be hit with this double whammy” of bigger monthly insurance bills and losing the subsidy that blunts their cost, said Cynthia Cox, a vice president at KFF.

In rate filings, some insurers said tariffs could add to the cost of drugs and medical supplies.

Now, maybe justice will be served to the asshole of the week, Adam Schiff.

In a shocking new development, President Donald Trump’s longtime political adversary, Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), is facing criminal prosecution after a bombshell referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) over alleged mortgage fraud spanning years.

The FHFA has formally alerted the Department of Justice (DOJ) of the evidence, triggering an investigation into Schiff’s actions following a series of mortgage-related allegations.

Schiff, who was elected to the Senate in 2024 after years of serving as a House lawmaker, is under intense scrutiny after Trump announced the charges earlier this week.

It was revealed that between 2003 and 2019, Schiff may have falsified documents related to his Maryland-based property to secure more favorable loan terms.

The property in question is located in Potomac, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C.

According to the FHFA’s referral, Schiff allegedly manipulated bank documents and property records, a clear violation of federal housing rules.

The details of the case are particularly troubling.

In Other Words, He Didn’t Sell Enough Tickets

I thought it was another kooky celebrity uninformed weather story. When thinking through it, though, no one wants to hear an 81 year old singer that was famous 40-50 years ago

Abracadabra! Just like that, the Steve Miller Band canceled its entire 2025 North American tour.

Variety reported:

The band has canceled all 31 scheduled dates of its American tour, which was slated to begin Aug. 15 in Bethel, NY and traverse the entire country before concluding in Anaheim, Calif. on Nov. 8.

The band made the announcement in a straightforward tone familiar to fans of the 81-year-old veteran singer, songwriter and guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, whose career stretches back to the mid-1960s and has released such classic rock anthems as “The Joker,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Jet Airliner,” “Take the Money and Run” and many more.

Fans needn’t worry that the 81-year-old is suddenly facing health issues. He called off the tour due to the unacceptable risks to his audience, the band, and the crew, posed by climate change-induced extreme weather events. Here’s what Miller told fans in his announcement on X:

The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. So …

Survey Finds College Grads Are Unpopular With Hiring Managers

Who’s surprised here. They don’t want to work hard, they act like children and the whole college protest thing has been getting tired since Viet Nam.

Is this really so surprising? Would you hire a recent grad from Columbia or Harvard?

The College Fix reports:

‘Unprepared and entitled’: College grads unpopular with hiring managers, survey finds

A recent survey from Intelligent found that “1 in 4 hiring managers say recent grads are unprepared for the workforce” and “1 in 8 managers [are] planning to avoid hiring them in 2025.”

The main reasons for this are lack of preparation, a so-so work ethic, and a sense of entitlement among the grads, according to the survey.

“24% of hiring managers believe recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce, while 33% cite a lack of work ethic, and 29% view them as entitled,” the survey found.

“Additionally, 27% feel recent graduates are easily offended, and 25% say they don’t respond well to feedback.”

The survey results appear to mirror a trend found in recent headlines. A “2025 college graduate job market” search conducted by The College Fix produced the following headlines:

“Class of 2025 College Grads Face Uncertain Job Market”

Americans’ trust in Ivy Leagues is tanking: poll

The once epitomized Ivy League institutions of higher education now garner little trust among the American public.

A new poll by the Manhattan Institute found that only 15 percent of voters have a great deal of trust in the elite universities, while 46 percent have little to no trust at all.

Most of those polled said they want to see reforms such as the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion and race-based admissions and programs.

Additionally, 64 percent “support requiring universities to advance truth over ideology by enforcing rigorous academic standards, controlling for academic fraud, requiring preregistration of scientific studies, and basing decisions on merit,” the poll found.

The public’s trust in public colleges and universities is a little higher, but not much.

According to the poll, 20 percent said they have a great deal of trust in these institutions, compared to 37 percent who had little to no trust.

“These results place Ivy League colleges among the nation’s least trusted institutions. They draw similar levels of distrust as the media—including newspapers (46% distrust) and TV news (47%)—the Supreme Court (40% distrust), and the Presidency (47%),” according to the institute.

Trump Slashes CO2 Regs Behind War on Energy

The Trump administration just dealt another blow to the anti-energy, anti-prosperity agenda pursued by the Biden administration underpinned by the man-made “climate change” hypothesis. Under the proposed repeal of previous “climate” regulations on energy production announced this month, many of the power plants targeted for destruction could remain open, and CO2 would no longer be considered dangerous “pollution.” Naturally, that has the “climate” movement screaming bloody murder.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the effect of the so-called greenhouse gases coming from U.S. energy production using hydrocarbons (or “fossil fuels”) is so small as to be negligible. The agency also pointed out that the CO2 from power plants is not actually hurting people’s health, contrary to the demonstrably false claims of previous administrations. The latest announcement is part of a suite of two dozen “climate” decrees being eliminated by the administration.

Under the plan, coal and hydrocarbons could continue to provide power for U.S. consumers and businesses. “Rest assured President Trump is the biggest supporter of clean, beautiful coal,” EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced at the agency’s headquarters. “EPA is helping pave the way for American energy dominance because energy development underpins economic development, which in turn strengthens national security.”

The EPA regulatory changes, explained in a proposed rule released this month, would “repeal all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants,” the agency explained. “The EPA is further proposing to make a finding that GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution.”

Here’s How Diversity Fails – Video: Female Police Officer Panics, Literally Collapses in Tears After Taking One Punch from Suspect

A female police officer whose nose was broken by a violent Muslim thug at Manchester Airport in England last summer told the court this week that she was terrified for her life after being knocked out by a vicious sucker punch.

Defendant Mohammed Amaaz and his brother Muhammed Amaad went on trial Thursday at Liverpool Crown Court for assaulting police officers while resisting arrest after Amaaz allegedly headbutted a man in an airport Starbucks cafe, according to Sky News.

At trial, Police Constable Lydia Ward said violence erupted immediately after she and her colleagues tried to detain Amaaz.

“Things escalated very quickly,” she told Liverpool Crown Court.

CNN Analyst Stunned No One Gives A Shit About Climate Change

CNN data analyst Harry Enten recently did a segment on the issue of climate change and almost lost his mind as he reported that a majority of Americans – including Democrats – are not worried about climate change.

He cited data going back to the 1980s and pointed out that concern about this has become stagnant.

Of course, Democrats running for office will continue to push this issue. They have decades invested in climate change and it has become an industry in itself with lots of people making ridiculous amounts of money from it.

Partial transcript via RedState:

“Americans AREN’T afraid of climate change!” Enten said with shock in his voice. “Climate activists have not successfully made the case to the American people!”

The data showed that in 1989, 35 percent of those polled admitted they were greatly afraid, and those numbers have basically stayed the same, with 39 percent feeling that way in 2000, and five years later, that number sits at 40 percent.

“We went back all the way to 1989, look at that, it was 35 percent,” Enten said. “2000, 40 percent. 2020, 46 percent. And in 2025, 40 percent. Which is the exact same percentage as back in 2000.”

“Despite all of these horrible weather events, the percentage of Americans who are greatly worried about climate change has stayed pretty gosh darn consistent,” he added, sounding genuinely flabbergasted. “Which kind of boggles the mind a little bit, granted everything that we see on our television screens, our computer screens.”

“Hurricanes, tornadoes, the flooding,” Enten continued. “But yet, greatly worried about climate change, 40 percent, the exact same percentage as in 2000.”

How Is This Woman Even The Daughter Of Slick Willy?

He was a Rhodes scholar. That indicates he’s a smart guy.

Chelsea on the other hand almost always steps in shit when she goes on X and has a lot of family garbage that will dog her the rest of her life. If You are stupid, shut your fucking mouth and don’t announce it to the world by doing dumb stuff, like Chelsea.

One thing for sure, she is a dumbass except for taking advantage of being a Clinton, meaning you never have to obey the law

X users were very skeptical Wednesday afternoon after Chelsea Clinton—currently a board member of the controversial Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)—announced that CGI members had been mobilized to flood-ravaged Kerr County, Texas.

Members of the @ClintonGlobal community are on the ground in Texas, supporting families, communities and ongoing search and rescue efforts,” Clinton wrote in a post on X. The post was heavily ratioed.

Avoid anything promoted by the Clinton family,” one X user said, referring back to a 2016 BBC article titled “What really happened with the Clintons in Haiti?” 

The BBC article cited Haitian activist Dahoud Andre, who had some nasty words to say about the Clintons: “The Clinton family, they are crooks, they are thieves, they are liars.” 

CGI has had its fair share of controversies—from cash-for-access and State Department overlap to the Uranium One deal and Haiti earthquake funding. The nonprofit has been under scrutiny for years.

Natural disasters are prime opportunities for nonprofits to market themselves to new donors—in fact, it’s big business. And with recent USAID funding cuts, one has to wonder how many of these organizations are now struggling.

Solar Farms Paid To Switch Off – Money Down The Toilet On A Boondoggle

British solar farms have been paid to switch off for the first time as sunny days prompt a surge of clean power that could overwhelm the grid.

The National Energy System Operator (Neso), which manages the UK’s power grids and is overseen by Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, has issued switch-off orders to solar facilities this year, new research reveals.

Operators are paid to switch off when these orders are issued, with the extra cost added to consumer and business energy bills.

The solar operators claiming compensation are understood to include some of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers, such as EDF Renewables and Octopus Energy.

Such “constraint payments” are already common with wind farms because so many have been built in areas such as northern Scotland or offshore, areas without grid capacity to carry the power they generate.

So far this year, constraint payments have cost consumers £650m, according to the Wasted Wind website. The cost is added to energy bills.

Overall “balancing payments” could hit £8bn a year by 2030 without massive grid upgrades, according to Neso estimates. Such upgrades would also be extremely costly, with consumers liable.

This Doesn’t Make Me Feel Better About The Human Race Continuing, If They Do

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) shipped thousands of viral samples to a lab in Wuhan over the course of a 10-year program even though it had no formal agreement with the lab in place, according to previously unreported documents.

The documents show that USAID funded the exportation of 11,000 samples from Yunnan Province, where some of the closest relatives of the COVID-19 virus circulate, to Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, with no apparent plan for ensuring the samples were not misdirected to bioweapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government.

A $210 million USAID public health program called PREDICT, steered by the University of California-Davis, collected viral samples in countries throughout the globe but lacked long-term storage when funding dried up, according to rudimentary plans in 2019.

USAID’s sample dispensation plan for China is sparse: “No need [sic] information from Yunnan. They were never an official lab partner for PREDICT. All samples they helped collected [sic] are sent to, tested, and stored in Wuhan.”

The “lab” refers to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). WIV was a close partner of USAID contractor EcoHealth Alliance and a slated partner for a PREDICT-like program supported by the State Department. The lab has poor biosafety practices and ties to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

How the Transgender Movement Turned the Left Against Women

Recently we have had two contrasting phenomena.

One is that President Donald Trump had issued an executive order suggesting or maybe threatening K-12 sports programs—and indeed, college and higher education as well—that if they allowed biological men to compete in women’s sports, then he was going to consider cutting off federal funds for that.

The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now

But at the same time he did it, the number of transgendered women—that is biological men who have transitioned to supposedly women—has increased and soared in women’s sports.

So, here on the West Coast, a trans athlete dominated the state high school track and field competitions, winning three or four main events. The same thing happened in Oregon. The same thing had happened in Washington. The same thing is happening in Minneapolis with girls baseball in the finals.

The point is it’s usually a phenomenon in blue states and in particular, blue cities. And Donald Trump’s executive orders are going the way of sanctuary cities. People are just ignoring them because they feel that he wouldn’t dare cut off federal funds because it would shut down the whole school.

But let’s get some background on this whole transgendered sports phenomenon. And maybe there’s five or six things we should keep in mind.

No. 1: We know a lot about gender dysphoria. There’s a long history of sex research about people whose psychological or hormonal makeup does not match their physical characteristics. But here’s the key: They’re very rare.

Walmart Workers Are Suddenly “Vanishing” and They Have Nobody to Blame But Themselves

Why are thousands of Walmart workers suddenly “vanishing” all over the nation? And why are vast numbers of agricultural workers suddenly no longer showing up for work? What I am about to share with you is extremely alarming. During the “open border years”, our economy became extremely dependent on very cheap migrant labor. Now that the border has been secured and mass deportations are occurring, major employers throughout the country are experiencing a case of severe whiplash.

The open border policies of Joe Biden caused a tremendous amount of chaos from coast to coast.  Violent criminals came pouring in, and we definitely need to get those violent criminals out.  For example, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem just revealed that a cannibal that was being deported literally started “to eat himself” on the plane ride out of the United States…

The Ideological Aim of Juneteenth was to Replace the Fourth of July

Let us begin with a simple proposition: a nation that loses grip on historical truth will soon lose the very liberty it claims to defend. In the case of Juneteenth, the official narrative peddled by government institutions and media organs insists that June 19, 1865, marked the end of slavery in the United States. It did not. The same narrative suggests that slaves in Galveston, Texas, were ignorant of their freedom until Union General Gordon Granger arrived and read General Order No. 3 from a balcony. That too is false.

So, why the deception? Why enshrine a historical inaccuracy into federal law, complete with flags, hashtags, and official observances? The answer lies not in a celebration of liberty, but in its quiet replacement. Juneteenth, far from being a spontaneous commemoration of emancipation, is a politically engineered holiday whose true function is to decenter the Fourth of July, recast the American Founding as a fraud, and promote a new narrative steeped not in liberty, but in grievance. At bottom, Juneteenth is not about celebrating the end of slavery. It is about reinterpreting the American project itself.

DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no “client list,” died by suicide – Right And I Have Ocean Front Property In Arizona

President Trump‘s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list” or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.

  • The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and “enhanced” versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019.
  • The video supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein died by suicide, the two-page memo claims.

Why it matters: The findings represent the first time Trump’s administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein’s activities and his death — theories that had been pushed by the FBI’s top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau.

  • As social media influencers and activists, Kash Patel (now the FBI’s director) and Dan Bongino (now deputy director) were among those in MAGA world who questioned the official version of how Epstein died.
  • Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein killed himself. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein’s crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities and business leaders — and that someone killed him to conceal them.

Bullshit. This means the CIA and FBI have their fingerprints all over Epstein. They used him to gather blackmail on celebrities and politicians, just like J. Edgar Hoover. He died when he wasn’t useful anymore.

Not a person on earth believes Epstein killed himself.

1900 Scientists Say ‘Climate Change Not Caused By CO2’ – The Real Environment Movement Was Hijacked

Millions of people worldwide are concerned about climate change and believe there is a climate emergency. For decades we have been told by the United Nations that Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activity are causing disastrous climate change. In 2018, a UN IPCC report even warned that ‘we have 12 years to save the Earth’, thus sending millions of people worldwide into a frenzy.

Thirty-five years ago, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the (World Meteorological Organization) WMO established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide scientific advice on the complex topic of climate change. The panel was asked to prepare, based on available scientific information, a report on all aspects relevant to climate change and its impacts and to formulate realistic response strategies. The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Governments worldwide have signed this convention, thereby, significantly impacting the lives of the people of the world.

However, many scientists dispute with the UN-promoted man-made climate change theory, and many people worldwide are confused by the subject, or are unaware of the full facts. Please allow me to provide some information you may not be aware of.

As we prepare to note the 249th anniversary of our country, getting ready for the great celebration next year of America’s 250th, Gallup serves up sobering data.

Per polling just released by Gallup, only 58% of Americans now say they are “extremely proud” or “very proud” to be an American.

When Gallup first asked this question in 2001, 87% said they were “extremely proud” or “very proud” to be American.

Digging deeper, we see that most of this precipitous drop in pride in our country is attributable to those identifying as Democrats.

In 2001, 87% of Democrats said they were either “extremely” or “very” proud. But in 2025, only 36% of Democrats say they are “extremely” or “very” proud of their country.

Wasting $30 Billion To Try And Throw An Election

Paramount and CBS was forced to pay millions of dollars to President Trump and agreed to change its editorial policy in a settlement.

President Trump filed a $20 billion lawsuit against the network’s parent company Paramount for deceptively editing a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

Trump will be paid $16 million up front, according to Fox News.

Fox News reported:

Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network.

Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion. There is an expectation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network, Fox News Digital has learned.

Sources close to the situation told Fox News Digital that CBS has agreed to update its editorial standards to install a mandatory new rule. Going forward, the network will promptly release full, unedited transcripts of future presidential candidates’ interviews. People involved in the settlement talks have referred to this as the “Trump Rule.”

In October President Trump sued CBS News for $10 billion (now increased to $20 billion) for deceptively editing its ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

“President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct,” the lawsuit stated, according to Fox News.

Fake news 60 Minutes was caught editing Kamala’s answers to make her sound coherent and normal.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Suggests COVID Vaccines Reduce Fertility

What was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” now has hard data behind it.

A new peer-reviewed study out of the Czech Republic has uncovered a disturbing trend: in 2022, women vaccinated against COVID-19 had 33% FEWER successful conceptions per 1,000 women compared to those who were unvaccinated.

A “successful conception” means a pregnancy that led to a live birth nine months later.

The study wasn’t small. It analyzed data from 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39.

Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity.

By 2022, a stark difference was clear.

The vaccinated cohort averaged around 4 successful conceptions per 1,000 women per month.

That’s a staggering 33% LESS than the 6 per 1,000 seen in the unvaccinated group.

This means that for every 2 vaccinated women who successfully conceived and delivered a baby, 3 unvaccinated women did the same.

In 2022, unvaccinated women were 1.5 times MORE likely to have a successful conception.

Again, that’s a conception that led to a live birth nine months later.

Recap Of Pride Month

When I was growing up, we wanted to be men. We acted like the most masculine people we knew as examples to look up to. No one we knew was a tranny and if we found out someone was a homosexual, it was by accident because they tried to hide it. It wasn’t because we would beat their asses, it was because THEY were ashamed to admit it.

Then came pride month. It used to be embarrassing to be a homosexual. Now, they have them in every flavor. It’s not that they are whatever flavor of mentally ill, it’s that they force the rest of us to not just accept it, but to celebrate their perversity.

So here is a random collection of what when on pretty much daily and how people reacted to it.

IBM Charged With Discriminating Against White Men….Again

Two legal groups are suing IBM over claims the technology company discriminated against an older white employee for the purpose of advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

America First Legal (AFL) and JW Howard Attorneys, LTD, filed a federal lawsuit against IBM on behalf of former employee John Loeffler, 64.

The lawsuit alleges that Loeffler was targeted to “advance IBM’s internal DEI quotas,” accusing the company of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The lawsuit claims that despite Loeffler’s history of positive performance reviews and successfully leading a $30 million project, IBM placed him on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) with conditions that were “impossible to meet.”

Loeffler objected to the plan and his recently assigned manager, Eric Castillo, conceded that the PIP’s goals were unattainable, according to the lawsuit. Loeffler’s lawyers contend the PIP was intentionally designed to force him out of his role in favor of younger, non-white staff.

“The PIP was pretextually designed to remove Loeffler from his position because he is an older white male,” the lawsuit states. “IBM discriminates in favor of younger workers generally (as the EEOC explicitly found), and, in the name of ‘diversity,’ specifically discriminates against white males”

The lawsuit alleges that, after terminating Loeffler due to his inability to meet the targets, the company replaced him with two younger, non-white employees.

Zohran Mamdani cruised to an apparent victory in the New York City mayoral primary, handily beating former governor and the presumptive favorite in the race, Andrew Cuomo.

While New York City uses ranked-choice voting and the results won’t be official until next week, Cuomo has already conceded the race with Mamdani ahead by a 43.5 percent to 36.4 percent margin. Given that most polls that had Mamdani winning still had Cuomo ahead in the first round, this means the former governor has no reasonable path forward in the primary, although the ranked-choice balloting will still go forward until a candidate has 50 percent.

To My Friend Jacques, When I Told You France Is Fucked, This Is What I Meant

(France) More Footage Emerges of African-Involved Brawls at 2025 Music Festival

Tensions are rising in France after new video footage surfaced showing violent brawls during the 2025 Music Festival, involving predominantly African-origin youth. The clips, which went viral on social media, captured scenes of chaos in several locations where the event was held. The footage has reignited public outcry and renewed scrutiny over France’s immigration and public safety policies.

Eyewitnesses and local media reported that the altercations involved large groups, some armed with blunt objects and knives. Families attending the festival for its cultural spirit were seen fleeing in fear. Some videos show police attempting to intervene, while others suggest a lack of immediate response from law enforcement.

France—the cradle of European culture—can no longer afford to be held hostage by mismanaged migration and political correctness that turns a blind eye to the consequences. The safety of French citizens and the preservation of national identity must be top priorities once again.

Naval Academy Certifies It Is Permanently Ceasing Using Race in Admissions

Maybe we can get back to a normal Military that actually puts the fear into the hearts of the enemy now

If you have any interest in the U.S. military you know we have been following the Naval Academy affirmative action trial and resulting appeal very closely.

It all started after the stunning victory against race-based admissions in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which we covered extensively:  Supreme Court: Harvard and UNC Affirmative Action “invalidated under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment”.

The glaring loophole in that case was that the Court allowed race-based admissions at military service academies to continue. From Footnote 4 of the Court’s opinion:

The United States as amicus curiae contends that race-based admissions programs further compelling interests at our Nation’s military academies. No military academy is a party to these cases, however, and none of the courts below addressed the propriety of race-based admissions systems in that context. This opinion also does not address the issue, in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present.

So Students for Fair Admissions was forced to sue the U.S. Naval Academy, and West Point, which it promptly did.

Due to scheduling issues, the Naval Academy case was ready for a bench (non-jury) trial first, and after eight full days of testimony in the case, and more than two months of deliberation and opinion-writing by the Court, the federal District (trial-level) Court in Maryland ruled, in December 2024, that the Naval Academy could continue to consider race in admissions:

‘Net Zero’ Is Collapsing in U.S. States

As well it should. I don’t know if Covid and the jab or the Climate scam was the biggest hoax of our lifetime. Both will prove them to be Government lies to launder money (most likely).

From New York to California, state renewable electrical power dreams are collapsing. Power demands soar, while the federal government cuts funding and support for wind, solar, and grid batteries. Renewables cannot provide enough power to support the artificial intelligence revolution. The Net Zero electricity transition is failing in the United States.

For the last two decades, state governments have embraced policies aimed at replacing coal and natural gas power plants with renewable sources. Twenty-three states enacted laws or executive orders to move to 100% Net Zero electricity by 2050. Onshore and offshore wind, utility-scale and rooftop solar, and grid-scale batteries were heavily promoted by states and most federal administrations.

The New York State Climate Action Scoping Plan of 2022 called for 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040. But 49.7% of the state’s electricity came from gas in 2024, up from 47.7% in 2023. A January executive order issued by President Trump halted federal leases for construction of offshore wind systems. New York, nine other east coast states, and California were counting on offshore wind in efforts to get to 100% renewable electricity, but new offshore wind projects are now halted.

Ex-Clinton and Biden national staffer: Harris ‘would not have had the courage’ to order ‘bold’ Iran strike

Like Obama, she would dither and let Iran continue to verbally bully us and threaten our existence.

A former staffer to Presidents Joe Biden and Bill Clinton has admitted that Former Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t have displayed the “the courage or fortitude” that President Donald Trump demonstrated in order to take out Iran’s nuclear program.

“I voted for Kamala Harris and have been a vocal critic of many dangerous and undemocratic actions taken by President [Donald] Trump. I’m not a blind tribalist and am perfectly comfortable praising President Trump for bold and courageous actions in support of America’s core national interests, as he took last night,” Jamie Metzl, who served on the National Security Council staff during the Clinton administration and as a Senate staffer for Biden, stated on Sunday.

“Although I believe electing Kamala Harris would have been better for our democracy [and] society,” he went on. “I also believe VP Harris would not have had the courage or fortitude to take such an essential step as the president took last night.”

Best- & Worst-Run Cities in America (2025)

Look to the leadership and if it’s rd or blue and a lot of this makes sense. Although I loathe San Francisco, I’m glad it is there so the people that live in that shithole stay there and don’t come to my state.

The past year has been a true test of the effectiveness of local leadership. City leaders have had to deal with economic difficulties like high inflation, as well as other issues such as mass shootings with over 500 reported in 2024, keeping gun crime in the political spotlight.

Black racism is bigger than basketball

Some black players are upset because Caitlin Clark is such an outstanding performer on the court: how dare a white, straight woman be competition to the black players? The basketball court has always been primarily their domain. And the black community which sees itself as victims doesn’t realize that they are putting themselves in this pitiful position, all by themselves.

Caitlin Clark isn’t afraid to speak out against this vicious behavior:

‘Nobody in our league should be facing any sort of racism, hurtful, disrespectful, hateful comments, and threats,’ Clark said. ‘Those aren’t fans, those are trolls, and it’s a real disservice to the people in our league, the organization and the WNBA.’

[snip]

‘There are a lot of really good fans, whether they’ve been fans for 20+ years or they’re new fans in our league,’ Clark said. ‘I think continuing to uplift this league in a very positive light is the best thing we can do… there are so many positive storylines that can be written and celebrated.’

The WNBA launched another investigation into alleged racism toward Angel Reese, who portrays herself as Clark’s chief rival. Once again, the league found nothing. Angel Smollett struck again.

Add that to the growing list of hoaxes in the world of sports.

Meanwhile, there are actual examples of racism in the WNBA. Days after Reese appeared to lie to reporters about the alleged racist chants, she shared a TikTok video mocking Clark as a little ‘white girl afraid to catch a fade’ with a photo of Reese trying to fight her.

Last Thursday, Brittney Griner appeared to utter ‘Trash, fucking white girl’ from the bench of a game against the Fever.

First, Ilhan Omar Deletes Juneteenth Post After Called Out for Present Day Slavery in Somalia

She’s an America hater so she might have to move up to Asshole of the Year.

But not to be outdone, was one of the magpies of the View. Whoopi Goldberg, multi-millionaire who lives around a ton of successful black people. She thinks blacks have it worse than the Iranians who are looking up for a 30,000 lb bomb to rein down on them. They live in poverty and the women are property, not partners or pick your word

Here’s what her ilk have to say about that.

Anyway, Whoopi, you are the asshole of the week.

Is Juneteenth Canceled, Or Swept Up By The Rest Of DEI

Is Juneteenth being swallowed up – and swept away – by the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement? The nation’s newest federal holiday was meant to be a celebration of the end of slavery in America. It was never an LGBTQ holiday or general celebration of “marginalized communities.” Yet it seems some are trying to co-opt it – or culturally appropriate it, one might say – into the broader movement. As the tide of public and political opinion turns against DEI, however, will Juneteenth find itself washed away as well?

Officially, not many give a shit about this day. It’s as made up as Earth Day and some other non-essential holidays that interrupt our lives. I include Valentines Day as that is just for females really.

It was a bunch of pussies who bowed at the alter of diversity and made it up.

As Deportations Rise, The U.S. Is On Track For The Lowest Murder Rate On Record

Today’s theme on this blog, the correlation between crime (especially murder although it’s rape int Europe) and illegals who have invaded your country.

Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000.

The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens.

According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer. “I’m gonna let you, the agents, the police officers, the sheriffs, go out there and do the work you so badly want to do. And I’m gonna give you the resources you need to do it. And I’m gonna take away the politicization and weaponization … and that’s what we’ve done.”

Instead of placing a third of FBI agents in the D.C. area, Patel has moved them out across the country to where the crime is occurring. A recent Biden administration document that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified shows that law enforcement resources were being spent on “non-criminal” activities of conservative Catholics, people attending school board meetings, and flagging those who used symbols like “2A” and imagery referencing the Second Amendment. The FBI sent a memo to over 1,000 employees nationwide instructing them to target conservative Catholics.

Almost As Satisfying As Wirecutter’s Bear Spray Story

Ken Lane posted that his blog took off when he drowned an asshole in Bear spray. This one happened to a Karen like protester, but if you watch the video, you wish you were pushing the button.

Surprise! They weren’t all like that, as viral video of a group of “protesters” in Charlotte, North Carolina, proved.

The video, which went viral after being reposted by antifa-chronicler Andy Ngo, began with some long-haired dude yelling at police on bikes to “de-escalate” and asking them if they knew what that meant, claiming that they punched his girlfriend. (What appears to be his girlfriend, for what it’s worth, didn’t seem too upset and seemed to want the guy to de-escalate.)

“Yeah, y’all real tough,” one protester can be heard saying before the camera panned through the crowd — with its assemblage of various lefty archetypes holding Mexican or upside-down American flags — to the front line at the intersection.

Uncovered risks — no oversight of UNC’s extreme virology, UNC-CH, One Of The Ground Zero Places For Covid-19

Most know it as a basketball school. Others know it because they couldn’t get into Duke so they went to UNC-CH. Others know it for what it is, a liberal indoctrination center that not only affects it’s students, it has ruined the whole town. At least you know everyone is left of the left when you go there. Oh, woke could have been invented on the campus. Look what they did during BLM. But for now, look at how they screwed America developing Covid-19.

Later in the article (link below), it talks about less precaution than the Wuhan Lab. Right in the middle of Flyover America, they are making these poisons, both sickness and supposed cure.

In the shadow of some scientific research lies the potential for catastrophic consequences. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s virology program, spearheaded by Dr. Ralph Baric, deserves attention for technical achievement but also for questionable safety practices.

According to an Aug. 17, 2020 ProPublica investigation and a follow-up piece, from 2015 to 2020 UNC-Chapel Hill reported 28 lab accidents involving genetically engineered viruses, including six genetically engineered coronaviruses accidents, to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In one mishap — in April 2020, 90 days into the pandemic — a UNC researcher was bitten on the index finger by a mouse infected with a novel SARS-CoV-2 variant created in Chapel Hill. While we were shut in our homes, the researcher was asked to self-quarantine for 14 days, and the local health department was notified of the incident. 

It is helpful to judge public health risk as a relative matter with more than one data point. Since 1952, NC State University has operated a campus nuclear reactor in downtown Raleigh closely regulated by state and federal authorities. If there were a radiation accident, no one would disagree it would be an acute health risk to the region. Therefore, the reactor is monitored by the government.

Compared to other risks, virology research at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health involving SARS-CoV-2, MERS coronavirus, and related animal coronaviruses operates in an unmonitored, unregulated environment, posing potentially catastrophic global consequences if mishandled. This unmonitored, unregulated research is both a local and a global concern. 

Recent documents obtained by court order by the public advocacy non-profit US Right to Know (USRTK) reveal that UNC developed and then exported dangerous coronavirus technologies and coronavirus research plans in the years leading up to the pandemic.
