The red flags used to be tattooed (especially helter-skelter instead of artistic), hair dyed an unnatural color (green, pink, purple), excessive piercings, and cats.
The problem was that some of these girls might actually have been ok (all right, single digits).
Now, there is a 100% test for a girl who is certifiably nuts and you should avoid
I was living there when it happened. We knew she was lying the whole time, but she still ruined the lives of some Duke students. I have no love for Duke, having had to work with their graduates, but I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
Here goes:
Former stripper and convicted murderer Crystal Mangum admitted Thursday that she lied and “made up a story” that three Duke University lacrosse players raped her at a team party in 2006.
“They trusted me that I wouldn’t betray their trust, and I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong,” Magnum told the independent media outlet Let’s Talk With Kat at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women.
“[I] made up a story that wasn’t true.”
Mangum, 46, said she made up the allegation because she “wanted validation from people and not from God.”
The exotic dancer, who is in prison for the second-degree murder of her boyfriend in 2013, asked former players David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann for forgiveness.
“I hope that they can forgive me,” she said, referring to the men as her “brothers” in the biblical sense. “I want them to know that I love them, and they didn’t deserve that, and I hope that they can forgive me.”
Mangum had never publicly stated that she fabricated the rape allegation before Thursday’s revelation.
As you likely know, race hoaxes are so common these days, it’s hard to keep up. You know the drill: the media breathlessly reports something like a “burning cross” on the lawn of a Baptist church, hinting that “white nationalists” are at it again. Then, surprise—it turns out some black guy did it because he hates white people.
Rinse and repeat.
The left and their media pals churn out race hoaxes, lies, and twisted stories to keep the “us vs. them” mentality alive and well in America.
The NAACP is getting in on this hoax game, too. They recently got busted trying to peddle this type of nonsense regarding the Daniel Penny not-guilty verdict. It all started when the NAACP responded to an X post by CNN that announced Daniel Penny’s fair and just acquittal – that case should’ve never gone to trial. And of course, instead of doing so professionally, the NAACP did what they do best: they sunk into the gutter, lied, and spread a fake racism hoax.
Thankfully, X’s Community Notes was there to crush the NAACP’s lie, and set the record straight.
Here’s what the NAACP lied about when responding to the CNN post. There were black people on the subway helping to restrain him, and who testified on behalf of Penny during the trial. This had nothing to do with race. It was very clearly a mental health/violence issue.
The left thrives on pushing these phony “race war” narratives. Why? Well, let’s face it, they can’t afford to have black Americans feeling happy, accepted, and successful—because the day that happens, the Democrat Party goes out of business for good.
Even the left’s politicians are getting in on the “race hoax” action.
The truth is, white people just aren’t producing the number of “hate crimes” the left needs, so they have to invent them. It’s a real supply and demand problem, eh?

What Obama fears is that Biden might be persuaded to issue a sweeping set of Deep State pardons to a list that would include various top-level Obama administration officials like former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Attorney General James Comey who potentially could be forced to provide damaging criminal testimony against him.
A presidential pardon does not waive a person’s Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination for future crimes. But a person accepting a pardon (including Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and Hunter Biden, or anyone else so pardoned) can be forced to testify truthfully about the pardoned crimes since they are no longer at risk of prosecution under federal law. Once pardoned, the Fifth Amendment privilege does not apply to giving testimony against others for the pardoned crimes since the pardoned individual no longer needs Fifth Amendment protection from a self-incrimination risk that is no longer relevant.
In other words, just to be clear, please understand that by accepting a pardon, a person has admitted guilt to the pardoned crime, a precedent the Supreme Court established in 1915’s Burdick v. United States. This fact, without any other evidence, gives the DOJ and the FBI a probative cause to start a new investigation by interviewing and interrogating the pardoned person under oath. All a DOJ or FBI official would have to do is to put a piece of paper in front of the pardoned person and ask that person to enumerate all crimes committed, plus requiring the pardoned person to give the names and details of all criminal accomplices involved.
That’s right, we get find out everything they did and who they are. They are going to get away with anyway, they already did. This is a pre-emptive strike for next time
While the 78-year-old made it clear he doesn’t believe his wife did “anything wrong,” he suggested if members of Trump’s administration were “determined” to “make” up a crime, it could probably be done.
During the 2016 election cycle, former secretary of state found herself in hot water after she was accused of using a private server to send classified correspondences. However, Bill pointed out Hillary had been cleared of any wrongdoing.
“She followed the rules exactly as they were written,” he said on the Wednesday, December 11, installment of The View. “Remember how the emails were such a big issue in 2016? Trump’s State Department found that Hillary sent and received exactly zero classified emails on her personal device.”
Bill claimed the scandal was nothing more than a “made-up phony story.”
The Clintons are dripping with crime, as are a lot of others like ex-FBI, DOJ, Eric Holder, the Obama’s, Liz Cheney, Schiff, Nadler, Maxine Waters, Fauci and a long list of others.
“Electricity bills in New England are poised to experience a sharp increase driven by the clean energy mandates in five of the six states, which require duplicative, overbuilt renewable energy.”
Connecticut ratepayers suffered sticker shock this summer when they opened their July electric bills. While their energy consumption was relatively flat, the “public benefits” component doubled for some and tripled for others. The culprit was not hard to find given a legislative requirement for utilities to itemize the cost components of monthly bills.
“Public benefits” cover the cost of subsidies the state provides for low-income electricity customers and energy-efficiency programs. They also include solar, electric vehicle, and other renewable energy incentives.
The wide array of renewable energy subsidies and aid to low-income residents who cannot afford high-cost electricity, growing everywhere, is an increasing cost burden for power users in the Northeast.
Connecticut: Worst of the Worst
The Northeast has become the most expensive region in the continental United States for electricity. Connecticut has the most expensive electricity in the 50 states outside of Hawaii. Connecticut’s overall electricity price for this September, according to the Energy Information Administration, was 27.08 cents per kilowatt-hour (ȼ/kWh), compared to Hawaii’s 35.46 ȼ/kWh.
When I worked in sustainability at IBM (a joke in itself there), the Northeast was the most smug and misguided about the whole energy/carbon/climate issue. Never have I seen so many smart people (inside and analysts paid by IBM) get an issue so wrong because of ideology.
Well, take your smugness to the electric company and out of your bank account.
Gas is cheap and efficient. It’s not the bogeyman that you made it out to be. You picked your poison, now drink it.
This writer regrets to inform you that leftists and Democrats were actually right.
Rampant racism and deeply embedded bigotry are alive and thriving in this country. The left has been tragically correct on this matter.
They just haven’t been particularly forthcoming about where all that racism and bigotry is coming from.
Spoiler alert: The call is coming from inside the house.
Soon-to-be former Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman — perhaps best known as an emasculated member of the progressive and anti-Semitic “squad” and/or Captain Fire Alarm and/or the jabroni who lost “the most expensive primary race ever” — took to the social media platform X on Tuesday to launch a vile (and yes, very racist) screed against white people.
Full disclosure: Not sure if you could tell by my last name, but I’m not white, so Bowman’s attack isn’t even directed at me. I still find it utterly abhorrent.
“Dear White People,” the defeated representative began. “I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us.
“Some of you are too far gone. But maybe enough of you aren’t and will join us in fighting to end white supremacy.”
“White supremacy,” you say? Surely Bowman has some concrete examples of this.
To give you an idea of Bowman’s room temperature IQ, his first example was immediately slapped with a Community Note:
go read it for yourself. It just goes to show you that if you discriminate based on skin color, any color, you are a racist
Fox News host Harris Faulkner (who is black) called out Black Lives Matter (BLM) and left-wing rhetoric that claims America “hates black people” on Monday, after Daniel Penny was found not guilty.
A Manhattan jury acquitted Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, of criminally negligent homicide in connection with the death of 30-year-old homeless man Jordan Neely. On “The Faulkner Focus,” the host began by noting that BLM leaders were outside the courthouse following the verdict, advocating for “black vigilantes” to avenge Neely’s death.
“We don’t know what the road home would have been like right after this, but I’m sure they get some protection for some period of time during the trial. But you go back to your life and you’re part of that community that potentially is going to jump on the subway in the next few days and how can you – just think about that. There are threats outside to take people out because this hinged on race suddenly, like suddenly this hinged on race. Black Lives Matter group getting together and saying, ‘If you do this you’ — what did the woman say?” Faulkner asked. “She said, ‘America hates black people.’ I mean that was so far afield from what we’re watching here I can’t even imagine how we got there.”
“When you say that you want to burn stuff that affects everybody, and you’re gonna hinge because you think people who have my skin color are so hated in America that you [have to] set New York on fire? That puts everybody in victim mode,” Faulkner continued. “I mean how is that even tolerated? Where is Alvin Bragg? He should come out on the steps of the courthouse right now and say, ‘You will be protected. Justice has been adjudicated in this building so you will not riot tonight. We will come after people who do.’ Like where is his voice?”
An Arab Muslim woman who sued the prominent law firm Foley & Lardner for revoking its job offer over her anti-Israel activism just had part of her case dismissed by an Illinois federal court.
Georgetown Law School grad Jinan Chehade claims the firm’s director of diversity and inclusion promised her they “valued and supported” her Arab Muslim heritage—a promise she says she relied on when she accepted a job there.
But U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, an Obama appointee, ruled that those assurances didn’t amount to an “unambiguous promise” that her job offer would not be rescinded over her pro-Palestinian activism.
Chehade had worked as a summer clerk at Foley in 2023 and was to begin as a full-time associate at the firm’s Chicago office in late October. In the interim, and following the October 7th attacks on Israel, she began speaking out against the Jewish state on her social media accounts and at an October 11th Chicago City Hall meeting.
Chehade appeared at the meeting wrapped in a keffiyeh to oppose a resolution condemning the Hamas massacre. Though “the Western Zionist-controlled media machine would have you believe” it was an unprovoked attack, she raged, Hamas’s murderous rampage was justified: it was their “legal right” and a “natural response” to “75 years of occupation” by Israel’s “apartheid regime”:
He’s got enough Fentanyl in him to kill a horse. Let’s not overlook the Meth. He was a criminal committing a crime, not a hero.
They just needed a victim to set up the money laundering by a Marxist group. Who else is Marxist? Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol-Pot, and other mass murderers in history who stole governments, laundered money, and tried to take down Western Civilization starting with God, the family, free speech, and private property.
What did BLM do with the money? Bought houses, cars and bling. They started no groups or agencies that actually helped blacks get on their feet.
Top Kamala Harris Staffer Admits What We Knew All Along
Kamala Harris’s deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty, admitted at a Harvard politics event Dec. 6 that the Democratic Party’s media outreach strategy is not only failing but failing miserably.
During a panel discussion at the school’s Institute of Politics, Flaherty lamented his party and campaign’s failure to find voters who are not paying attention to corporate networks — CNN and MSNBC — and Hollywood A-listers from Diddy’s orbit. He also made an interesting comment about the Democratic Party being the “party of institutions,” which I think is true. The Democrats have become the staunch defenders of the status quo, whereas the Republican Party, under the leadership of President-elect Donald Trump, has become an insurgent force of change in the capital.
They don’t live in the real world and really don’t know anything. Actors pretend for a living and the press are just people that try to sell advertising by sensationalism. They are shallow, vain and will sell you out in a second
Months before police identified Luigi Mangione as the man they suspect gunned down a top health insurance CEO and then seemingly vanished from Midtown Manhattan, another disappearing act worried his friends and family.
The 26-year-old scion of a wealthy Baltimore family who was a high school valedictorian and an Ivy League graduate, Mangione had maintained an active social media presence for years, posting smiling photos from his travels, sharing his weightlifting routine and discussing health challenges he faced.
He publicly kept track of nearly 300 books he had read or wanted to read, even posting a favorable review of the Unabomber manifesto on a book website.

Those institutions of indoctrination turn out losers. He’s just one in a line of many. I’m not saying they are murderers, but they are losers each in their own way.
Look at the last line before the story link. It says that the BLM activist racists are trained Marxists. The worst type of person we could have right now. (Look up Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol-Pot, Obama)
Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome called for “black vigilantes” to descend into major cities Monday to retaliate against 26-year-old former Marine Daniel Penny’s acquittal over the death of Jordan Neely.
A Manhattan jury found Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide after he held 30-year-old homeless man Neely in a chokehold to protect surrounding passengers on a New York City subway train in May 2023. Newsome called on “black vigilantes” to avenge Neely’s death and fight against white people who allegedly want to “choke” and “kill” black people for “being loud.”
“Like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes,” Newsome said. “People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud, how about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us? I’m tired. I know you’re looking for us to be like, ‘Oh, go and march. Go and march.’ No, this weekend, I want you to hold a community event, everywhere from the Bronx, to Houston, to Seattle, to Florida. Black people hold community events and talk about what you need.”
Passengers who witnessed the incident said Neely behaved in an erratic and threatening manner by screaming at commuters, throwing his jacket on the ground, and saying that he did not care if he went to jail. Penny then came up from behind Neely and held him in a chokehold for about 15 minutes, where Neely eventually lost consciousness and was pronounced dead.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggcharged Penny after a medical examiner ruled Neely’s death a homicide in May 2023. The manslaughter charge, which was dismissed prior to the jury’s verdict, came with a potential 15-year prison sentence, while the negligent homicide charge comes with a maximum four-year sentence.
Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said during a Monday Fox News segment that the jury was in a “deadlock,” likely due to many jurors buying into Bragg’s alleged “racialized” narrative of the incident.
Protesters supporting Neely gathered outside the courtroom prior to and following the verdict, chanting, “No justice, no peace,” and warning that the public “will hear [them] tonight.”
BLM executives have publicly identified themselves as “trained Marxist[s],” including co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who confirmed in 2020 that she and her fellow organizers are Marxist ideologues
At the center of it is the race hustle – a hustle being the attempt to get something for nothing – in this sense, seeking respect and approbation for people engaged in uncivilized behavior.
It kicked off in 2012 when one Trayvon Martin, 17, got shot while bashing the head of a neighborhood watch coordinator, George Zimmerman, against the pavement in Sanford, Florida. The news media dishonestly portrayed Martin as a skittle-munching child when police reported him as six-feet-tall. Zimmerman, five-foot-eight, was eventually acquitted of all charges on grounds of self-defense. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement was born.
Next up in 2014 was Michael Brown, 18, in Ferguson, Missouri. After robbing a convenience store, Brown was stopped on the street by Police Officer Darren Wilson. According to Wilson’s account, Brown reached into his patrol car trying to seize his gun. Brown’s DNA was later found on Wilson’s gun, and Brown’s blood was detected on the car’s door, suggesting a struggle. Following the incident, riots, arson, and looting broke out in Ferguson for days after. A local grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson, and he was eventually exonerated of civil rights violations when investigated by the US Department of Justice. The case amplified the Black Lives Matter (movement.
Other incidents followed in 2014: one Eric Garner, 43, was stopped in Staten Island for selling individual cigarettes on the street. Garner resisted arrest and was put in a choke hold. He repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe,” before dying of an asthma attack. In November, same year, Tamir Rice, 12, was brandishing a toy gun that looked like a real firearm in a Cleveland, Ohio, park, when police trainee Timothy Loehmann responded to a 911 call and shot the boy. A Cuyahoga County grand jury declined to indict Loehmann. The city of Cleveland settled $6-million with the Rice family in a wrongful death suit.
In May, 2020, George Floyd, 46, a released felon, resisted arrest after trying to pass a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill in Minneapolis. Officer Derek Chauvin eventually subdued Floyd with a restraint, knee-on-back, recommended by the city police department’s training guide. Floyd died at the scene with 11 ng/mL of fentanyl, 19 ng/mL of methamphetamine, and cannabinoids detected in his blood at autopsy, plus heart disease and hypertension. Officer Chauvin was convicted on several counts of murder and manslaughter and three other officers at the scene also went to jail on lesser charges. Riots, arson, looting, and murder ensued in Minneapolis and many other American cities. Statues of George Floyd were erected around the country and the city of Minneapolis settled a wrongful death suit for $27-million with the Floyd family.
Penny was saving people being threatened by a drug induced criminal. This was not a White on Black issue. What if the schizophrenic was a white dude or an Asian and Penny choked him out?
No, some people see things through the color of race making it impossible to stamp out racism.
I’ve done decades of martial arts and choked people out with the same one he used on the criminal terrorizing the train that day. It was only cutting off the blood supply to the brain and then they wake up. Even the cop said he was breathing and had a heartbeat.
What Penny did was a Batman move to help everyone else on the train who was being threatened. His only crime was being white that day in an environment looking to convict a non PPP.
I said that day and every time since that I’d choke that MF out also just like Penny did if they were being harassed like that.
The case against Marine veteran Daniel Penny should never have been brought. It was a gross injustice. By law, he was justified in using reasonable force —even lethal force— to subdue a maniac who vowed to murder riders the moment he entered a subway car. That man, Jordan Neely, initiated the confrontation and died as a result of his own menacing and illegal actions.
He’s a hero and got a just sentence, except he never should have had to go to trial to begin with. It was a woke diversity move that the left was used to getting away with to try and extract reverse judgment on an innocent man. It should have never even gone to trial. He should have received a key to the city and a parade for saving people being harassed by a drug-induced criminal.
Justice was served. He never came close to committing a crime, rather he helped the community. That the criminal died is a different issue, but Penny didn’t have anything to do with his death. George Floyd died from Fentanyl which is how this farce began, but these made-up BLM lies failed again today against Penny
–
The jury has come back in the Daniel Penny case.
It’s so weird to me. The jury deliberated the first charge, second degree manslaughter, for so long and couldn’t reach a decision.
The panelists acquitted Penny of criminally negligent homicide — which could have put him behind bars for up to four years — in Neely’s chokehold death aboard a crowded uptown F train in May 2023.
Manslaughter, the top charge against Penny, was tossed on Friday after jurors twice said they couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict.
Jurors sided with Penny’s defense attorneys, who had argued that the Marine veteran was justified in rushing to protect his fellow subway straphangers when he subdued the erratic homeless man. The lawyers had also questioned whether there was sufficient evidence that the chokehold caused Neely’s death.
Woke, BLM, Muslim, Democrat, Illegal and Boston. I didn’t even include her breaking the law.
Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson, a Democrat and the first Muslim elected to the council, was arrested on Friday by FBI agents.
Tania Fernandes Anderson, who served as Vice Chair of the Post Audit Committee, which oversees government accountability, was arrested on six felony charges (five counts of wire fraud and one count of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds) stemming from a kickback scheme.
“The charges stem from an alleged kickback scheme she orchestrated to obtain several thousand dollars in taxpayer money in exchange for bribes paid,” U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy said at Friday’s press conference, according to NBC Boston.
According to the indictment, Fernandes Anderson allegedly awarded a $13,000 bonus to a staffer, identified as “Staff Member A,” who is also a relative, on the condition that the staffer return a significant portion of the bonus—approximately $7,000—directly to her.
Anderson allegedly finalized the cash transaction in a bathroom at City Hall, receiving $7,000 in kickbacks from Staff Member A, as detailed by text message evidence included in the indictment.
I asked AI to list some of his boners. Here’s what came up
Paul Krugman, a Nobel laureate economist and columnist for the New York Times, has been known to make predictions and argue for certain economic policies that have been proven wrong or controversial over time. Here are a few examples:
Predicting the 2008 Financial Crisis: In the years leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, Krugman was skeptical of the severity of the housing bubble and the potential consequences of a housing market crash. He argued that such a scenario was unlikely and that the economy would continue to grow. However, the crisis ultimately occurred, causing a major recession and exposing the flaws in Krugman’s predictions.
Arguing against austerity: Following the 2008 financial crisis, Krugman advocated against austerity measures and argued that governments should focus on boosting spending to stimulate the economy. However, many countries that implemented expansionary fiscal policies saw mixed results, and some economists argued that a more balanced approach to austerity and stimulus was necessary.
Predicting a “double-dip” recession: In 2010, Krugman predicted that the U.S. economy would experience a “double-dip” recession, with a second downturn occurring after an initial recovery. However, the economy continued to grow steadily, and the double-dip recession never materialized.
Arguing against the effectiveness of Quantitative Easing: Krugman has been critical of the Federal Reserve’s use of quantitative easing, arguing that it was not an effective tool for stimulating the economy. Some economists, however, have attributed the recovery of the U.S. economy in part to the Fed’s aggressive monetary policies.
Here’s what a second engine said:
Paul Krugman, despite his reputation as a prominent economist, has made several predictions that did not materialize as he expected. Here are some specific predictions by Krugman that didn’t come true:
Economic Predictions
2008 Financial Crisis: Krugman failed to anticipate the severity of the 2008 financial crisis1.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: In July 2008, Krugman predicted that concerns about a possible collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were “overblown.” Months later, both institutions required massive government bailouts1.
Unemployment Rate: Krugman supported the Obama administration’s stimulus package, which was predicted to keep unemployment below 8%. However, unemployment surpassed 10% despite the stimulus1.
Interest Rates and Fiscal Policy
Zero Lower Bound: Krugman believed that nominal interest rates couldn’t go below 0%. This proved incorrect as some countries experienced negative interest rates2.
Fiscal Austerity: In 2013, Krugman predicted that U.S. budget cuts (the “sequester”) would lead to severe economic damage and possibly a double-dip recession. Instead, the U.S. economy continued to recover2.
Inflation and Deflation
Accelerating Deflation: Krugman’s model predicted accelerating deflation in the face of a prolonged economic slump. In reality, consumer prices rose modestly even as unemployment remained high2.
Price Deflation: In February 2010, Krugman warned of potential price deflation in the near future, comparing the U.S. situation to Japan’s. This did not occur; instead, his preferred measures of CPI turned around sharply within months2.
Oil Prices and Production
Permanent High Oil Prices: In June 2008, with oil at $137 per barrel, Krugman predicted that oil prices were on a permanently higher trajectory. The price of oil collapsed mere months later3.
U.S. Oil Production: Krugman failed to foresee the surge in U.S. crude oil output. He had expressed skepticism about significant increases in oil production, but U.S. field production of crude nearly doubled in the following decade
I’ve never trusted the NYT other than to be on the liberal side of anything, even if it means they were wrong. That he got an award for his economic writings is analogous to Obama getting a Nobel before he did anything other than lie to get elected.
Go away and stop ruining our lives like the rest of the Coastal elites that misunderestimate (Bush-ism) what the real America and real Americans who live in flyover country believe. It’s why most of the country just voted red instead of blue.
My wife’s idiot niece Marian posted on Facebook that Elizabeth Warren is the bomb. I can pretty much count on her being on the wrong side of everything good for America. Here’s proof.
President Biden has overseen nearly four years of a two-tiered justice system, as his pardoning of Hunter Biden and the political persecutions of then-candidate Donald Trump make all too clear.
But there have been quieter attacks on justice, like “debanking” — and few people realize they could be the next victims because they are a “politically exposed person,” that is someone who disagrees with the liberal status quo.
Debanking is a kind of financial blackballing that has appeared within just the last 20 years.
It started under then-President Barack Obama as a war to punish those seen as political enemies, like firearm manufacturers. Government documents unsealed at the end of 2020 proved that the federal government used its regulatory authority over financial markets to attack political opponents.
Government regulators essentially make it impossible for certain people or businesses to make online transactions, or to have a bank account or a credit card.
…
The debanking scourge under President Biden has hit the crypto world particularly hard. The Securities and Exchange Commission has unleashed a plague of investigations, some real and some merely threatened, to force innovators and investors out of that space.
Dozens of tech and crypto founders have been debanked under Biden, and their inventions smothered.
On Joe Rogan‘s podcast, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen blamed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a group set up at the behest of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to go after crypto firms in particular.
“Basically every crypto founder, every crypto startup, either got debanked personally and forced out of the industry, or their company got debanked,” Andreessen said.
Their findings further verified theories about gain-of-function research in China and the lab leak theory; exposed waste, fraud, and abuse of COVID relief funding; revealed how federal and state agencies, including the CDC and NIH, enforced pointless, unscientific recommendations that damaged our country’s health and economy; and highlighted how the government “ignore[d] natural immunity” and mandated the ineffective COVID vaccine while it “failed to properly inform the public about vaccine injuries” and is still failing to provide compensation for the vaccine-injured.
The report also highlights how New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his Administration “worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of their policy decisions in an apparent effort to shield themselves from accountability” after forcing nursing homes to accept COVID-19-positive patients.
Joe Rogan reacted to the bombshell report with Canadian YouTuber and More Plates More Dates host Derek Munro, noting that the committee “basically said all the conspiracy theorists were correct.” He then slammed leftist MSNBC hack Rachel Maddow for helping to cover up the truth about the virus.
It can be recalled that Rogan came under intense scrutiny from the radical left and the fake news for questioning the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and taking Ivermectin to treat his case of COVID.
WATCH:
Rogan: The House released a 500-page report on COVID-19 pandemic key findings: COVID-19 likely originated from a lab-related incident in Wuhan, China. Crazy! You get banned from YouTube for saying that, banned.
Over $200 billion in relief funds lost to fraud, with criminals exploiting weak oversight. Prolonged lockdowns and arbitrary mandates caused severe harm, economic devastation, mental health crises, and historic learning loss while lacking robust scientific support. Policies ignored natural immunity, pushing mandates that eroded trust and harmed public perception of science. Absolutely. WHO and CDC compromised by political interference, offering inconsistent, unscientific guidance that fueled public distrust, and the key players included federal agencies. And Cuomo’s administration actively obstructed oversight efforts and hid critical evidence.
Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic basically said all the conspiracy theorists were correct, every single one of them. No repercussions, no retractions, no apology from Rachel Maddow, none of it.
In addition to the House report, The Gateway Pundit reported that in another bombshell legal win, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a high-profile case brought by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT).
The decision mandates the FDA to release the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) file for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine no later than June 30, 2025.
They should have done nothing, prescribed ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and nothing would have happened. Instead, they used it to cover up a stolen election and the would be 46th president is now the 47th.
We now can’t trust the government on healthcare, nor any of the agency’s recommendations.
Millions are vaccine-damaged, and a lot of old people died alone. It was malpractice by the government, the doctors, big pharma, congress China and America, not to mention countries like Israel and Denmark that made the whole country get jabbed.
Only Sweden and the Amish got it right. They had herd immunity.
The rest of us who saw through it and went un-jabbed are purebloods now.
Many queer and transgender Muslims said they’d felt isolated from traditions that emphasize togetherness, like praying at community mosques, fasting for Ramadan, or performing the Muslim pilgrimage called Hajj.
While over 30 majority-Muslim countries criminalize queerness in some capacity, many Islamic scholars disagree about whether Islam “accepts” queer and transgender people. Each scholar, institution, and government leads with their own interpretation of and perspective on Islam.
Sophia Uppal, a 28-year-old who’s nonbinary, described their relationship with Islam as complicated. Some of Uppal’s favorite childhood memories include waking up early to their mom preparing sehri, or the meal Muslims eat before sunrise to prepare for the day’s fast.
But they said they’d also felt disconnected from Islam for so long because of the expectation to adhere to a heterosexual and cisgender lifestyle. “My mom would dress me up in hijab and clothes that did not feel aligned with me at all,” Uppal said. “Now it’s sometimes a deep trigger when I see gendered Islam forced upon me.”
Both Uppal and Khan look back on their Islamic upbringings and recall feeling pressured to conform to generations of tradition and subjectively interpreted religious texts. At first, these teachings — like the interpretation that if a person was queer or transgender they couldn’t be a Muslim — made Uppal and Khan feel excluded from their communities. But infusing queer and transgender experiences into Islamic tradition has helped Uppal and Khan create new relationships with their Muslim identities.
The decision by a top soccer team to withdraw LGBTQ rainbow jackets after a Muslim player protested has drawn criticism from a woke former player. Tim Howard, a New Jersey-born ex-goalkeeper for Manchester United, attacked his old team for deferring to current player Noussair Mazraoui, who said he would not wear an LGBTQ jacket, citing his Muslim faith. This prompted the team to abandon the jackets entirely so Maraoui would not be “isolated.”
“Any team, any organization should always do what is right. And if one player chooses not to take part, they are entitled to do that, Howard complains. However, he warns players opting out of doing “the right thing” will have “eyes on them.”
“Teams don’t have to protect players. Teams should focus on the greater good, not the beliefs of one individual,” he insists, declaring he “tend[s] to have a problem with any faith or any religion that doesn’t put human rights first.”
In common with many leftists, Howard goes on to suggest people have to agree with his social politics to be good Christians—despite Mazraoui being a Muslim—saying, “Jesus knelt beside beggars and sinners and thieves—people from all walks of life.”
While this is true, Jesus disapproved of sin—saving a woman accused of adultery from being stoned but instructing her to “sin no more,” for instance.
Multiple New Testament texts affirm that homosexuality is a sin, according to the Christian faith.
We are told to fret that climate change is a threat not only to all life on Earth, but also to our mental health:
As temperatures rise, extreme weather events become more frequent, and natural disasters intensify, the psychological well-being of populations worldwide is increasingly at risk.
This mostly effects politically sacred “vulnerable populations” — for example, those who are already have mental issues and of course nonwhites:
For Indigenous communities, climate change-induced displacement from ancestral lands can cause profound psychological distress, as these communities often have deep cultural and spiritual connections to their environment.
Only “indigenous communities” are capable of appreciating God’s creation. That’s why you never see any garbage or pollution in Third World countries.
The global warming hoax really does damage not only the economy but also sanity:
[T]he Daily Telegraph reported on an epidemic of “eco-anxiety” among the children who are being treated for an overwhelming terror of “environmental doom” as climate alarmists spread fears of an impending climate disaster.
Creating hysteria as a means of manipulation is a deliberate tactic:
As Breitbart News has reported, activists have studied people’s emotional response to climate expressions and purposefully selected the terminology that elicits the strongest reaction.
The Guardian rejects “climate change” in favor of “climate emergency, crisis or breakdown.” Salon has explicitly proclaimed that we should “start panicking” because the weather continues to fluctuate like it always has. Every summer heatwave is portrayed as apocalyptic, with predictable effects on the mental health of the gullible. Alicia Finley calls it “climate hypochondria.”
Given that it helps to be a little nuts to buy into woke ideology in the first place, climate change has created a vicious cycle of insanity whereby the more moonbats believe liberal establishment lies about the weather, the crazier they become, the more likely they are to believe the lies.
In the autumn of 2019 a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, began to circulate widely but at a low level. In March 2020, as the influenza season in the Northern Hemisphere subsided, due to a drop in viral interference SARS-CoV-2 surged and became the dominant respiratory virus. COVID-19 spread from China around the world, suppressing influenza, whilst leaving the other human-infecting coronaviruses undisturbed. The vast majority of countries reacted to COVID-19 by imposing non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as lockdowns and facemask policies and, later, vaccination programmes.
It was a big effing hoax, all of it from the virus to the jab. Politicians and Pharma should fry for this. It was murder, perjury, money laundering, RICO and many other crimes
NBC Hails a Shift: ‘Journalists Flock to Bluesky as X Becomes Increasingly ‘Toxic’
Kat Tenbarge, tech and culture reporter for NBC News, filed an online story Saturday, “Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly ‘toxic’ — Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.”
As long as you follow the liberal line, that is.
Tenbarge opened with a journalist and Bluesky fan:
When Ashton Pittman, an award-winning news editor and reporter, first joined the app Bluesky, he said, he was the only Mississippi journalist he knew to be using it. Until about five weeks ago, he said, that was the case. But now, Pittman said, there are at least 15 Mississippi journalists on Bluesky as it becomes a preferred platform for reporters, writers, activists and other groups who have become increasingly alienated by X.
The same outlets who refused to see the clear evidence before their eyes of conservatives being throttled on Jack Dorsey-led Twitter are muttering about supposed suppression by Musk.
Since Elon Musk bought Twitter, has turned the platform into an increasingly difficult place for journalists, and many had come to suspect that the platform had begun to suppress the reach of posts that include links to external websites. On Sunday, Musk confirmed the platform has deprioritized posts including links, which was how journalists and other creators historically shared their work. But four journalists told NBC News that after millions of users migrated to Bluesky, an alternative that resembles a pared-back version of X, after the election, they are rebuilding their audiences there, too.
Surprise! Liberal media outlets are finding life more congenial in the BlueSky echo chamber, where there’s little conservative pushback or disagreement.
Story
Birds of a feather flock together. This time it’s in the cesspool. Bluesky will never be X or Truth Social. That is the relevant place to be. Just look at the views and downloads. Just because they are butt-hurt by the election and no one trusts them anymore, they go to a safe place.
That shields the rest of the world from their lies and misreporting during their Trump-hating rants against the USA. We are all better off with them gone.
There is a new paradigm in the media and the alphabet networks and NY Times have been left behind, they just don’t know it yet
Fernando, a hitman for a Swedish narcotics gang, checks his phone as it pings with his latest orders: collect the guns, go to the target’s front door and fire until he runs out of bullets.
“Yeah, I understand brother,” he replies casually. He collects two pistols, a Kalashnikov rifle and an accomplice, before hurrying to their target in a suburb of Stockholm.
But this is no ordinary gang hit. Fernando is 14, a teenage assassin who was playing the video game Fifa in his youth club when the orders arrived by text.
He is one among dozens of child contract killers in Sweden, recruited by gang middle-men on social media who pay as much as 150,000 kroner (£13,000) per job.
The number of murder cases involving child suspects in Sweden, which has the highest per capita rate of gun violence in the EU, has exploded over the past year. The figures rose from 31 counts in the first eight months of 2023 to 102 in the same period of this year, according to Sweden’s prosecution authority.
What has been happening in Sweden recently?
Swedish prosecutors and police say the use of children – many of them from an impoverished or foreign background – to commit murders on that scale is unprecedented. One recent case involved a boy of just 11 years old.
Children are the ideal catspaw for Sweden’s gangs: those aged under 15 are too young to be prosecuted, a quirk of Swedish law that critics say is in urgent need of reform.
Hmm, I guess they mean “most” if not all are imports to Sweden. Fernando isn’t exactly a Swedish name.
Jaguar’s design boss has dismissed critics laughing at his new creation, declaring Monday the car brand has shown “fearless creativity” in delivering an electric vehicle on the back of a divisive marketing campaign.
Gerry McGovern, who is in charge of design for Jaguar’s parent company, told a launch event on Monday in Miami: “Some may love it now, some may love it later and some may never love it. That’s what fearless creativity does.”
The British brand revealed the new concept car, the Type 00 (pronounced “zero zero”), to a mixed reaction, as Breitbart News reported, with an advertising campaign that failed to showcase even one single vehicle from the legendary British car company.
After two years of fawning press coverage and promises that the international war-crimes prosecutor would finally put Donald Trump behind bars, the special counsel today hammered the final nail in his own battered coffin by dropping his four-count J6-related indictment in Washington against the incoming president.
The move represents yet another failure by the Democratic apparatchik who once ran the Department of Justice’s public integrity unit under the Obama administration. Since then, Smith has been on a losing streak unmatched in DOJ history, suffering one loss after another before the Supreme Court and trial courts; in 2016, SCOTUS unanimously overturned the bribery conviction of Bob McDonnell, the former Republican governor of Virginia, a case Smith brought in 2014. Smith also failed to secure convictions in his prosecutions of former Senator John Edwards in 2012 and former Senator Robert Menendez in 2015.
This year, the highest court rebuked Smith on three separate occasions. First, the court rejected Smith’s rarely-used and desperate request to bypass the D.C. appellate court in considering the presidential immunity question and decide the matter quickly in an attempt to get the J6 case to trial before the election. The court a few months later reversed how the DOJ applied 18 USC 1512(c)(2), the post-Enron document destruction statute that represented two of the four counts in the J6 indictment against Trump. And on July 1, the court issued its landmark opinion in Trump v US, which gutted the J6 case by concluding most of the conduct cited in the indictment represented official acts protected by presidential immunity.
If the DOJ had a Hall of Shame, it would be named after Jack Smith.
A startling new investigation has revealed that the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), an investigative journalism juggernaut with a hand in shaping global political narratives—including the first impeachment of President-elect Donald Trump—is majority-funded by the U.S. government. The report was published by Drop Site News in partnership with European investigative outlets.
The OCCRP, which has worked on high-profile exposés, received at least 52% of its funding from U.S. federal agencies such as USAID over the past decade. Since its inception in 2008, the organization has secured at least $47 million from American taxpayers, with an additional $12 million already committed.
The findings, drawn from budget documents, audit reports, and interviews with OCCRP leadership, paint a picture of a journalistic entity deeply tied to American financial support. The U.S. State Department, through various channels, has emerged as OCCRP’s largest single donor. While OCCRP has publicly acknowledged receiving some government funding, the full extent of its reliance on U.S. dollars had not been disclosed until now.
Drew Sullivan, co-founder and head of OCCRP, defended the funding arrangement, stating that the U.S. government has never exerted editorial control. However, Sullivan also confirmed that federal grant agreements allow the government to veto top personnel decisions, including editorial hires, a provision that critics argue could jeopardize OCCRP’s independence.
If the CDC concentration Covid camps weren’t bad enough (see the post below this) To the surprise of only the most clueless, DEI ideology has been found to hurt everyone, including the identity groups it ostensibly helps at the expense of the rest of us. Still less surprising, the media has attempted to suppress this information.
A study published Monday by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University provided strong justification for why Americans should dismantle the remainder of the DEI regime sooner rather than later, noting that race-obsessed programming is divisive, counterproductive, and helps create authoritarians.
From the study:
“DEI initiatives seen as affirmative action rather than business strategy can provoke backlash, increasing rather than reducing racial resentment. And diversity initiatives aimed at managing bias can fail, sometimes resulting in decreased representation and triggering negativity among employees.”
That is not a bug but the main feature of DEI. Cultural Marxism rests upon the increasingly obvious lie that favored groups are oppressed by bigotry. To prop up their failed ideology, liberals must create resentment.
The broader goal of DEI and Cultural Marxism in general is to provide a framework for left-wing totalitarianism:
“[A]n emerging body of research warns that [DEI] interventions may foster authoritarian mindsets, particularly when anti-oppressive narratives exist within an ideological and vindictive monoculture,” said the study. “The push toward absolute equity can undermine pluralism and engender a (potentially violent) aspiration of ideological purity.”
No monoculture was ever more ideological and vindictive than that of woke liberals.
The paper concluded, “The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment.”
Speaking of the monoculture of woke liberals, the media establishment reacted to the study by refusing to acknowledge it:
Thank the Lord it got exposed. The fact that they planned this should tell you how evil the deep state and the WEF people really are. What are we, Germany in the 1930’s?
Here is a taste of what these bastards were planning and a link to read as far as you can stand before you want to strangle them.
This document presents considerations from the perspective of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) for implementing the shielding approach in humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps, displaced populations and low-resource settings. This approach has never been documented and has raised questions and concerns among humanitarian partners who support response activities in these settings. The purpose of this document is to highlight potential implementation challenges of the shielding approach from CDC’s perspective and guide thinking around implementation in the absence of empirical data. Considerations are based on current evidence known about the transmission and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may need to be revised as more information becomes available. Please check the CDC website periodically for updates. What is the Shielding Approach ? The shielding approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting. They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.
It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.
Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied that mail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic.
Even with all that, worse was planned. On July 26, 2020, with the George Floyd riots having finally settled down, the CDC issued a plan for establishing nationwide quarantine camps. People were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be banned from participating in any religious services. The plan included contingencies for preventing suicide. There were no provisions made for any legal appeals or even the right to legal counsel.
The plan’s authors were unnamed but included 26 footnotes. It was completely official. The document was only removed on about March 26, 2023. During the entire intervening time, the plan survived on the CDC’s public site with little to no public notice or controversy.
It was called “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.”
Donald Trump may have won the presidency, but Dr. Naomi Wolf isn’t resting on her laurels. Rather, the author of “The Pfizer Papers” is continuing her fight for freedom and truth while exposing the corrupt relationship between Big Pharma, health care, and the United States government.
However, her eyes weren’t always so open.
“I certainly, in the pandemic, saw that the people I’d voted for turned out to be horrible tyrants,” Wolf tells Rick and Bubba of “Rick and Bubba University.” “They censored me when I was trying to warn women accurately about damage to their fertility from the Pfizer injection.”
“I got deplatformed and ousted from that world,” she explains, noting that a successful lawsuit led by attorney Aaron Siri led to the release of Pfizer documents that opened her eyes even further.
“450,000 internal documents released under court order that the FDA had asked the court to keep hidden for 75 years,” Wolf says. “It turns out the FDA was waving through the biggest crime against humanity in recorded history, and you know, more investigations on our team’s part found that the White House knew.”
“There was a massive collusion by the very people I’d voted for, in ushering in an injection about which they lied to us, that was sterilizing and disabling and killing people in massive numbers,” she adds.
“Did you just find it strange that we rushed this in? Was the need and the panic by the public for an answer part of this that forced us to jump through so many hoops so fast?” Bubba asks.
“I was hoping when I went into this project that that’s what I would find. Just the usual story of greedy corporations cutting corners, rushing to meet a deadline, because of a putative, epidemic, emergency. That’s not what the Pfizer papers reveal,” Wolf answers.
“Unfortunately, they reveal months and months and months and months before the vaccine was rolled out, in which Pfizer was identifying many, many ways to injure, damage, and destroy the functions of the human body with, again, a special focus on reproduction,” she continues, adding, “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.”
Global warming lies are finally running out of steam. None of the crisis scares ever came true. The climate is fine, the seas didn’t rise, the ice sheets are just fine and the only thing that really happened is the theft and laundering of a lot of money.
The fun has started at COP29!
For years successive COPs have papered over the cracks, but the cracks have now become unbridgeable chasms.
The West wants the world to give up fossil fuels. The developing countries want money, lots of it that the West can’t afford.
Meanwhile, China and the rest of Asia want a free pass both from cutting emissions and paying money out. And the major oil producing countries have said “On your bike!”
So far at Baku, the West has promised to pony up $250bn a year by 2035 in climate aid. But when inflation is taken into account, this is barely more than the $100bn agreed at Copenhagen in 2008. The third world wanted $1.3 trillion.
China still refuses to pay a cent, and Azerbaijan has made it clear that it will not abandon its God-given gift of oil and gas.
As for cutting emissions, the whole idea has had to take a back seat to this unseemly scrabble for money.
Meanwhile everybody knows the whole thing is a charade, because Trump won’t merely pull out of the Paris Agreement next year, he will take his money with him.
The whole thing is, of course, hilarious. All we need now is for Ed Miliband to try eating a bacon buttie again!
A group of distraught Wisconsin women gathered Nov. 9 in Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to film themselves having a “primal scream” session to express their frustration with Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
The event quickly gained traction on social media and showcased roughly two dozen women screaming in unison in the direction Lake Michigan to vent their anger, according to WFIN.
The footage, originally shared on Facebook, shows the women standing on the shoreline to carry out their primal screams. The user described the gathering in her post. “What a gorgeous morning to gather at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to engage in a Primal Scream in order to release our pain and frustration after the election,” the user wrote.
People responded to Ferrari bragging about its commitment to ‘diversity and inclusivity’ by pointing out that the luxury car manufacturer forces customers to pass a ‘social status’ background check just to be able to buy a Ferrari.
Awkward.
In the wake of the Jaguar farce, when the heritage brand launched a new commercial featuring androgynous models, thereby alienating their core customer base, Ferrari appears to have said, “Hold my beer!”
It started with a post on X in which Ferrari boasted of its, “Commitment to equality, equity, and inclusion by endorsing the new Diversity and Inclusion Charter alongside @F1 and the @fia.”
However, that “inclusivity” doesn’t appear to extend to its own potential customers.
As Nick Sortor points out, Ferrari conducts exhaustive background checks on anyone who wants to buy one of their higher end vehicles to “ensure they fit the mold of the brand and its desired image.”
“Family background, social status and additional affiliations,” are also scrutinized before Ferrari will even consider taking your cash.
That doesn’t sound very inclusive!
“Nothing says “inclusivity” like requiring background checks and “social status checks” for ENTIRE FAMILIES before they’re allowed to purchase your cars,” commented Sortor.
Those cars breathe testosterone and Alpha male. This shit started as soon as they hired Lewis Hamilton as an F1 driver and he brought that diversity shit which brings down everything it touches.
I’ve always loved Ferrari, but will have a hard time liking a company with these principles. Grow a set and be the company Enzo created.
“Nobody has divided our country more than you and Obama,” one X user responded.
“Next book you can write – How to overcome the destruction and divisive culture you and your husband have left behind,” another quipped as many commenters offered similar sentiments. Those include the following comments:
“I would rather hug a grizzly bear or spend a day shopping at the mall than read that garbage book. ”
“Nobody cares. You and Barry destroyed this great nation.”
“Hard pass. Never ever not in million years. Not enough money.”
“What did you overcome exactly?”
“I can’t wait to not read that.”
“Does this book tell us how you overcome a personal chefs [sic] death?”
“This is a fabulous idea! Spend decades NOT teaching people how to cope, and then sell them a diary to help them cope. ”
“Peddle this shit on blue sky not X”
“No one is looking for life advice from an Obama, neither one of you dudes. You have tried to destroy our country for the last 16 years, no thanks, kick rocks.”
“If I wanted to waste money I’d burn it”
“Traitorous scum.”
“Just the person I need advice from or help increase their ever growing bank account, never happen. “
According to a description of the book, Overcoming includes “creative activities, reflective writing prompts, habit tracking tools, and more to provide the ultimate guide to unlocking your small power, sharing your whole self, showing up in relationships, and of course, ‘going high.’”
Look at the money being waisted on salaries for worse race relations. This has got to go.
The University of Michigan’s (UM) multi-million dollar diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program may soon be dismantled.
The university’s board of regents has reportedly asked UM president Santa Ono “to defund or restructure” the DEI office amid growing criticism and public pressure, according to emails shared on X. The board is expected to vote on the matter on Dec. 5.
Despite UM investing $250 million into DEI since 2016, students and faculty have reported a deteriorating campus climate since the program began and are less likely to interact with people of a different race, religion or political ideology, though these are “the exact kind of engagement[s] D.E.I. programs, in theory, are meant to foster,” the article stated. Attempts to create a more diverse campus also fell flat, with black enrollment at the university remaining a steady 5%.
The program also created a “culture of grievance,” with the office’s conception coinciding with an “explosion” of complaints on campus involving race, gender and religion, the NYT reported. Meanwhile, nearly 250 university employees were engaged in some form of DEI efforts on campus.
DEI staff cost the university approximately $30.68 million annually, with the average salary reaching $96,400, according to Mark Perry, an American Enterprise Institute scholar. Several DEI employees are paid more than $200,000 a year, while the department’s head makes upwards of $400,000.
As Jaguar cuts its’ own throat by being woke, the world looks on in disbelief.
Formula One racing legend Johnny Herbert has commented on Jaguar’s bizarre rebranding of itself into some sort of LGBTQ activist campaign, calling it ‘confusing’ and revealing that no one he’s spoken to in the auto world understands what the company is doing.
As we’ve highlighted, the move appears to be an astoundingly stupid one, yet the company has doubled down, even appearing to threaten critics.
Now, in comments made to to Prime Casino, former Jaguar team driver Herbert remarked “Oh my Lord, what have they done?!”
“You look at it and wonder what it is trying to achieve,” he continued, adding “Where is it pitching itself at? Who is it trying to appeal to? I am confused.”
Yes Johnny, the whole world is wondering the same thing. Look at a post below to find that everyone is getting tired of the woke shit being forced on us by 2% of the population.
According to the New York Post, transgender activists are “reconsidering their abrasive approach as public support slips.”
Citing a New York Times piece (itself titled “Transgender Activists Question the Movement’s Confrontational Approach”), it seems that some members of the LGBT community are none too pleased with the more hysterical fringes of the “trans” movement.
Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, executive director of Advocates for Transgender Equality, told the Times that shaming people into embracing transgenderism appeared to be backfiring.
“We have to make it OK for someone to change their minds,” Heng-Lehtinen told the Times. “We cannot vilify them for not being on our side.
“No one wants to join that team.”
The director added: “No one wants to feel stupid or condescended to.”
With each election cycle, the same old questions resurface: Who should lead the party? How can Democrats reconnect with voters in the heartland? And why does the party keep bleeding support among working-class Americans?
Last week, David Axelrod tossed a name into the ring for the next DNC chair: Rahm Emanuel. Predictably, this suggestion set off a firestorm—none louder than from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose critique of the Democratic establishment feels more at home in a Tea Party playbook than in traditional Democratic discourse.
Ocasio-Cortez, better known as AOC, wasted no time attacking the idea of another Obama-era leader taking the reins of the Democratic National Committee.
Her argument? These establishment figures oversaw some of the party’s most devastating electoral losses. In fact, she called Emanuel and his ilk a “disease.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) launched a blistering critique of former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel‘s potential bid for Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair, slamming the Democratic establishment’s donor-focused approach.
“There is a disease in Washington of Democrats who spend more time listening to the donor class than working people,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “If you want to know the seed of the party’s political crisis, that’s it.”
The sharp rebuke from the progressive congresswoman came after veteran Democratic strategist David Axelrod publicly pitched Emanuel, the current U.S. Ambassador to Japan, to lead the DNC when current chairman Jaime Harrison‘s term concludes in March.
And, honestly, she has a point. Under Barack Obama’s leadership, Democrats experienced some of their worst down-ballot performances in modern history. But is the party’s problem really the so-called Obama coalition, or is it AOC and her loud progressive faction that’s driving voters away?
The Ghosts of Obama’s Leadership
Let’s not sugarcoat it—Barack Obama was a political phenomenon. His 2008 and 2012 campaigns were masterclasses in coalition-building, bringing together young voters, minorities, and educated urbanites. But the success of Obama’s personal brand didn’t translate into lasting gains for the Democratic Party.
In fact, during his presidency, Democrats lost more than 900 state legislative seats, 13 governorships, 69 House seats, and 13 Senate seats. The working-class voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin who helped Obama win twice? Many of them jumped ship in 2016, frustrated by policies they felt prioritized elite academic interests over their needs.
Yet Democrats seem intent on avoiding this painful truth. Rather than reckoning with Obama’s shortcomings as a party leader, they continue to idolize his approach. The problem, though, is that the coalition he built wasn’t designed for longevity—it was built for Obama himself. His successors, from Hillary Clinton to Joe Biden, have struggled to revive that same magic, leaving the party floundering in its search for a winning strategy.
MASSIVE news: Walmart is ending their woke policies. I can now exclusively tell you what’s changing and how it happened. Last week I told execs at
@Walmart that I was doing a story on wokeness there. Instead we had productive conversations to find solutions. Below are the changes Walmart committed to. I have to give their executives major credit because this will send shockwaves throughout corporate America. This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America. Here are the changes Walmart committed to: • Surveys: Walmart will no longer participate in the HRC’s woke Corporate Equality Index. • Products: Monitor the Walmart marketplace to identify and remove inappropriate sexual and / or transgender products marketed to children. • Funding of Grants: Review all funding of Pride, and other events, to avoid funding inappropriate sexualized content targeting kids. • Equity: We will not extend the Racial Equity Center which was established in 2020 as a special five-year initiative. • Supplier Diversity: We will evaluate supplier diversity programs and ensure they do not provide preferential treatment and benefits to suppliers based on diversity. We don’t have quotas and won’t going forward. Financing eligibility will no longer be predicated on providing certain demographic data. • LatinX: Walmart will no longer use the term in official communications. • Trainings: Walmart will discontinue racial equity training through the Racial Equity Institute. • DEI: Walmart will discontinue the use of DEI as a term while ensuring a respectful and supportive environment. Our focus is on Belonging for ALL associates and customers. Remember, Walmart is the #1 employer in America with over 1.6 Million Employees and they have a market cap of nearly $800B. This won’t just have a massive effect for their employees who will have a neutral workplace without feeling that divisive issues are being injected but it will also extend to their many suppliers. We’ve now changed policy at companies worth over $2 Trillion dollars, with many millions of employees who have better workplace environments as a result. I’m happy to have secured these changes before Christmas when shoppers have very few large retail brands they can spend money with who aren’t pushing woke policies. Companies like Amazon and Target should be very nervous that their top competitor dropped woke policies first. I think Target specifically will suffer serious sales problems as a result and Walmart will benefit.
there is more at the link above, but Walmart has been a bad actor in a lot of places, like China and this.
And in marketing failure news, the rest of the world pushed back on Jaguar because 99% of normal people are tired of Woke, DEI and LGBT crap being rammed down their throats.
Get this:
As the mockery of Jaguar’s massive brand relaunch continues, one company exec is speaking out against the “intolerance” from the public.
Managing director Rawdon Glover said in a recent interview with the Financial Times that the campaign messaging was drowned out in “a blaze of intolerance” on social media. Glover also claimed that the colorful new ad was not meant to be “woke.”
“If we play in the same way that everybody else does, we’ll just get drowned out. So we shouldn’t turn up like an auto brand,” Glover told the outlet.
“We need to re-establish our brand and at a completely different price point so we need to act differently. We wanted to move away from traditional automotive stereotypes.”
The Jaguar exec said there have been “very positive” reactions to the campaign but that he’s been dismayed by “the level of vile hatred and intolerance” to the viral ad.
Glover added that the rebrand was done in part to attract new customers. “This is not a depiction of how we think our future customers are,” he said. “We don’t want to necessarily leave all of our customers behind. But we do need to attract a new customer base.”
Guess what? Your customers aren’t perverts or racists. They want a good product (something Jag needs to work on since the 60’s). This won’t turn out well
Hulscher N, Alexander P E., Amerling R, Gessling H, Hodkinson R, Makis W et al. A Systematic Review Of Autopsy Findings In Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination. Science, Public Health Policy and the Law. 2024 Nov 17; v5.2019-2024
Here’s what we found:
Background: The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines, combined with a high number of adverse event reports, have led to concerns over possible mechanisms of injury including systemic lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and mRNA distribution, Spike protein-associated tissue damage, thrombogenicity, immune system dysfunction, and carcinogenicity. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate possible causal links between COVID-19 vaccine administration and death using autopsies and post-mortem analysis.
A two-year-old paper exposing Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” that the medical establishment would not allow to be published has finally made its way into the peer-reviewed journal Science, Public Health Policy and the Law.
It has been a long time coming for the so-called “sudden death” COVID jab autopsy paper to see the light of day. The Lancet and another Elsevier journal censored it when it first came out during the “pandemic,” but now the public can see its contents for the first time.
“This has never been seen in scientific publishing before!” tweeted Dr. William Makis, MD, about the paper.
(Related: Have you checked out our earlier report about the censored Lancet paper, which found that 74 percent of post-COVID injection deaths are, in fact, caused by the jabs?)
“We got them, finally!!” celebrates Dr. Makis
For the research, scientists looked at 325 autopsies from people who had recently gotten jabbed for COVID and who “died suddenly” not long after. This is the largest such autopsy series in the world, by the way.
Scientists discovered that it took an average of about two weeks from the time a person gets jabbed to the time they get loaded up into the freezer drawers at the coroner’s office.
“73.9% of deaths were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 Vaccination,” the paper explains.
Keep in mind that the two-week average is just an average. Some COVID jab recipients died almost immediately after the syringe contents were dispensed into their arms.
Dr. Peter McCullough and McCullough Foundation epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, are credited with making major contributions to the new research, which blows the lid on the COVID jab scam.
“This is a monumental achievement in the face of historically unprecedented scientific censorship,” Dr. Makis says.
They lost to a convicted felon they ridiculed as a racist, misogynistic fascist — and an existential threat to democracy.
And they didn’t just lose to President-elect Trump. They lost the Senate … likely the House … many Hispanic men … all three Blue Wall states … both Southern swing states … even substantial support in the bluest of states and cities.
Why it matters: Top Democrats, including Harris advisers, tell us they feel like a lost party. Come January, they’ll have scant power in the federal government, and shriveling clout in the courts and states.
The traditional media structure sympathetic to their views, and hostile to Trump’s, was shattered.
The big picture: In our volatile, 50-50 America, where voters seem to swing fast and hard against the ruling party, resurrection and resurgence are often an off-year election away.
But the road to the Democrats’ Damascus requires deep, honest self-reflection — and, many party insiders tell us, entirely new leadership.
President Biden, 81,has faded even before his job is done. Harris’ team didn’t even want him to campaign. Impossible to imagine Democrats turning to him for sage advice on what’s next.
Harris just lost what Democrats considered an eminently winnable race, despite relatively light scrutiny and more money than any candidate in U.S. history. Hard to see her guiding Democrats out of the wilderness.
The party’s two most popular figures — Barack Obama and Michelle Obama — are happy to help in the waning moments of elections but aren’t going to lead a revival.
Look to the states, Democrats will say: Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania … Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan … Andy Beshear in Kentucky … newly elected Josh Stein in North Carolina.
Other Democratic future faces: Senator-elect Elissa Slotkin in Michigan, and Ruben Gallego, who leads in the race for U.S. senator in Arizona.
All are from states Trump just won. They’re certainly politically smarter than the Washington crew. The evidence: They didn’t lose.
Democrats will now start the predictable cycle of blame-casting and bellyaching. Every losing party does it. Then, they’ll turn to a more serious autopsy: why they’re bleeding support virtually everywhere.
The Biggest Loser? After Tuesday, it’s not just the title of the long-running reality TV weight-loss show anymore.
The biggest loser of the Nov. 5 elections, undeniably, was Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite raising and spending a staggering $1 billion in campaign cash and having the sycophantic support of the Hollywood glitterati, the now-lame-duck vice president was decisively defeated in her bid for promotion to the presidency.
Voters ensured she wouldn’t become the latest example of 1970s bestselling author Lawrence Peter’s “Peter Principle” theorem that people get promoted in a hierarchy until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent. Voters on Tuesday apparently concluded Harris had reached that point four years ago and resoundingly voted not to make that mistake again.
Harris demonstrated “Peter Principle”-level incompetence with her very first independent executive decision; namely, the choice of loopy leftist Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate.
Walz, a self-described “knucklehead,” brought to the Democratic ticket the frumpiness of George Costanza combined with the charisma of Elmer Fudd.
But while Harris and Walz were the biggest losers, they were far from the only big losers Tuesday night.
In no particular order, here are some of the many others who lost bigly:
Sen. Chuck Schumer: Voters demoted the New York Democrat from Senate majority leader to minority leader by kicking (at least) three longtime liberal Democratic senators—in Montana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania—to the curb. (Republicans also picked up an open Senate seat in West Virginia.)

Suddenly, but not surprisingly, abolishing the Senate filibuster is no longer a Democratic talking point. Talk of also abolishing the Electoral College has likewise gone away postelection, after the once and future President Donald Trump also won the popular vote in a nearly 5 million-vote landslide.
Liz Cheney: The Trump-hating former Republican congresswoman—resoundingly repudiated by Wyoming voters in 2022 after she cast her lot with Democrats on the kangaroo court Jan. 6 committee—campaigned extensively for Harris. Cheney’s dream of being tapped as defense secretary in a Harris administration is now kaput.
The “Blue Wall”: Even Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin couldn’t save Harris’ train wreck of a candidacy.
Political lawfare: Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith; New York state Attorney General Letitia James; Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis; and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg will now have to find someone not named Trump to prosecute.
Hollywood: Cher and Barbra Streisand, Alec Baldwin and Robert De Niro, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, et al., your flight to Canada is now boarding at Gate 3. Make them one-way tickets, please.
How long can you talk shit about half the country before they get fed up? How long can you brag about the stock market while many Americans struggle at the grocery store and gas pump? How about hurricane victims getting ignored while illegals are put up in luxury hotels? I guess we found out.
Former NBC journo Brian Williams appeared on the Seth Meyers show this week and suggested that Democrats have completely lost the working class, which is true, and that it happened because Democrats kept gaslighting the public which was insulting.
He points to the way Democrats kept insisting that the economy was great while prices kept rising to ridiculous levels. He mentions the fact that the border was completely overrun while Democrats insisted that it was under control.
He cites other examples, but it’s all the same theme.
Seth Meyers Goes Quiet as Ex-NBC Anchor Torches Democrats for ‘Insulting’ the Working Class
“It is tough love time for the Democratic Party. I think it needs to be stripped down and rebuilt.”
Here’s how they alienated working-class voters, according to Brian Williams:
1. Ignoring Rising Costs: “A 12-pack of Bounty [paper towels] is $40. Rich folks don’t feel that. Poor folks already switched to Sparkle during the COVID lockdown.”
2. Touting Stock Market Success While Ignoring Economic Hardship for Regular People: “I think telling them that the Nasdaq is gangbusters is further insulting. It’s insulting.”
3. Downplaying Border Issues: “I think the biggest unforced error of the Biden administration by far was the border…. To tell people it’s not a problem is insulting.”
4. Providing Benefits to Migrants While Ignoring Citizens: “For the working class to see incoming migrants getting welcome bags, debit cards, and motel rooms is probably insulting as well.”
5. Failing to Address Biden’s Cognitive Decline: “I want to know who thought it was a good idea that Joe Biden stand for another four years at 80 years of age and 37% popularity.”
Journalist Peter Lloyd said the ad “sends a clear and deliberate message to white Britons.”

The mastermind behind Jaguar’s disastrous woke rebrand is a BLM-supporting LGBT activist who pledged to enhance the car company’s commitment to ‘diversity and inclusivity’.
Now it makes perfect sense.
Jaguar was vehemently ridiculed for releasing a new commercial as part of this rebrand that featured a group of androgynous individuals in bright clothing prancing around while glib messages that said “break moulds” and “copy nothing” flashed up on screen.
The advert contained no video footage or images of a car whatsoever.
It now emerges that the man leading the rebrand is designer and marketing guru Santino Pietrosanti, who bragged during an awards dinner that Jaguar had established over 15 DEI groups as part of the company’s “transformative journey.”
Liberals who are in the throes of capitulation and despair after Donald Trump’s crushing electoral and popular vote win can lay blame for their disastrous loss at the feet of one man: Barack Hussein Obama.
Obama built the Trump wave. His failure to live up to the promises of his populist 2008 run has cursed the Democratic Party, probably for a generation. The Washington DC establishment in just two short months is going to get “scholonged” by an angry and vengeful Trump, ready to rain executive hellfire on the bureaucrats and institutions that have spent the last nine years fighting him tooth and nail.
All of this could have been prevented. In 2008, Obama swept into power with a crushing electoral college and popular vote majority. He won Iowa, Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina. He even won Indiana. Democrats swept into power in Congress with a 74-seat lead in the House, nearly 59% of seats, and were gifted with a magical 60-seat filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate.
This was a generational victory, a sign that voters were fed up with politics as usual and the failures of the GOP and the Washington and Wall Street establishment as such. This victory wasn’t just about electing the first Black president, though that was important: The policies and platform at stake appealed deeply to voters.
It is worth remembering what exactly those policies were.
Obama promised to end the war in Iraq, end the Afghanistan war with honor, help the economy by reducing health care costs (prioritizing “Main Street” over Wall Street), and bring about a new era of racial harmony. Moreover, Obama explicitly eschewed radical leftist politics. He explicitly defended traditional marriage. In his DNC nomination speech, he condemned employers who “undercut American wages by hiring illegal workers.”
Obama ran a campaign on bringing “change” to DC. He made much of his status as a newcomer who lacked the “typical pedigree” of a candidate for the nation’s highest office.
Put another way, Obama won a decisive victory in 2008 by campaigning as a Washington outsider bent on ending foreign wars, boosting the economy by helping ordinary people, and being a moderate on social issues like abortion and gay marriage. Does this message sound familiar? It should.
It has been revealed that former television host Ellen DeGeneres has moved to Great Britain following President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory, and she allegedly plans to never return.
DeGeneres, along with her wife, former actress Portia de Rossi, have moved to Cotswolds, a rural region almost two hours away from London.
TMZ reported that the couple plans to list their Montecito, California, mansion as well, confirming their intentions to stay out of the United States, as they were “very disillusioned” with Trump’s landslide victory, according to TMZ.
DeGeneres was a donor for Vice President Kamala Harris, in addition to being an outspoken supporter of hers.
“There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president,” she previously wrote.
A wife and husband in Virginia are behind bars after they allegedly stabbed a pizza shop employee for incorrectly making their order, reports claim.
The upset wife, Catherine Harper, 45, reportedly called her husband Corey Harper, 47, to come “handle the situation” on Nov. 17 around 2:30 p.m. after a 24-year-old male worker at Mods Pizza in Norfolk “botched” her order.
Reports state Corey came to the restaurant and stabbed the worker several times, additionally slicing them across the stomach and exposing their intestines.
“The Victim was stabbed several times, in the back, in the front, and one long cut across the torso exposing the Victim’s intestines,” a police report states, according to The Mirror, adding the assailants then “left the scene.” It’s unclear whether they left with a pizza.
The victim reportedly hospitalized suffering non-life threatening injuries.
A Norfolk General District Court judge held the couple without bond on Monday considering the heinous nature of the crime.
The Harpers are facing multiple charges over the disturbing incident, with the Mirror noting Corey’s “facing felony charges of malicious wounding and brandishing a firearm,” while his wife is charged with “conspiracy to commit malicious wounding.”
The situation shocked members of the community, with one neighbor of the Harpers remarking it seemed “out of character” for them.
Mods Pizza, a Seattle-based chain, released a statement saying they were “dismayed” by the incident and appearing to blame the worker for sparking the situation, saying it would work to train workers on de-escalating conflicts with customers.
Oh FFS. Marxists Killed the queers and had no use for them. When will this woke crap stop? Are they trying to do to the Ivy League what the Liberals did to the Democrat Party?
Cornell University students can take a course on “Queer Marxism” next semester that asks questions such as “Are queer theory and Marxism truly irreconcilable.”
The course description stated that the course will compare two visions of society that many have thought could not be joined.
“While queer studies emerged in part as a rejection of Marxism’s totalizing approach and Marxists have criticized the queer emphasis on individuals, this seminar explores the potential of bringing the two fields together,” it says.
The course will not explore this possible union of the two theories by one taking over the other. Students will study a dual influence, examining the effect of one theory on the other, and vice versa.
“We will consider how queer critiques of reproductive futurism, racial capitalism, and homonationalism can transform the legacy of Marxist theory and practice,” the description says. “At the same time, we will examine Marxist notions of totality, reification, and value to re-envision the scope of queer politics.”
Students will further examine the principles of queer and marxist theory as they manifest in historical examples. “After covering these key Marxist and queer theoretical concepts, the seminar will turn to transnational Marxist debates on gender and sexuality in Weimar Germany and the Soviet Union,” the course says.
The university’s Feminist, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program is offering Queer Marxism. The program’s mission is to “to address some of the most important issues the world faces today,” particularly “by offering students the opportunity to study a wide range of fields from the perspectives of feminist and LGBTQIA critical analysis, in global and local contexts and with the purpose of promoting social justice.”
The raw facts are these: As of 1960, 51 percent of black females between the ages of 15 and 44 were married and living with their husbands, another 20 percent were divorced, widowed, or separated, and only 28 percent had never been married. Twenty years later, only 31 percent of black women in these age brackets were married and living with their husbands, while 48 percent had never married.
By 1994, an absolute majority—56 percent—of black women in these age brackets were never married and only 25 percent were married and living with their husbands.186 Accordingly, while two-thirds of black children were living with both parents in 1960, only one-third were by 1994. While only 22 percent of black children were born to unmarried women in 1960, 70 percent were by 1994.
White liberals, instead of comparing what has happened to the black family since the liberal welfare state policies of the 1960s were put into practice, compare black families to white families and conclude that the higher rates of broken homes and unwed motherhood among blacks are due to “a legacy of slavery.” But why the large-scale disintegration of the black family should have begun a hundred years after slavery is left unexplained.
A House committee report revealed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ $900 million “We Can Do This” COVID campaign was flawed and claimed COVID shots prevented transmission despite FDA stating there was no such evidence
CDC’s shifting mask guidelines and reversals on recommendations damaged public trust, with changes appearing politically motivated rather than based on scientific evidence
The government aggressively promoted COVID shots for children despite low risk levels, using emotional manipulation and fear-based messaging through the Fors Marsh Group PR firm
Clinical trial studies showed significant bias in measuring COVID shot effectiveness, with case-counting window bias making ineffective shots appear 50% to 70% effective
Pfizer and Moderna vaccine trials revealed higher risks of serious adverse events than initially reported, with Pfizer showing 36% higher risk compared to placebo groups
The U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee released an assessment of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) COVID-19 public health campaign, revealing it was fraught with miscalculations that set the stage for widespread public distrust.1
In December 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the first COVID-19 shots, yet these authorizations clearly stated there was no evidence the shots prevented viral transmission. Despite this, the administration launched the “We Can Do This” Campaign, spending over $900 million to promote vaccine uptake and public health measures.
However, foundational issues plagued the campaign from the beginning. Past contracts and fiscal mismanagement within HHS raised red flags about the effectiveness and integrity of their public relations efforts. As the campaign aimed to shape public behavior around masking, social distancing and vaccination, the reliance on flawed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance undermined its credibility.
By allowing CDC recommendations to drive public messaging, the administration sowed confusion and mistrust. These early failures were not isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern of inconsistent and politically influenced public health strategies that ultimately eroded the very trust needed to effectively manage a public health crisis.
Overstating COVID-19 Shot Efficacy — A Critical Misstep
When COVID-19 shots were introduced, Americans were told to believe they were not only preventing illness but also halting the virus’ transmission. However, this narrative quickly unraveled, as there was no evidence that vaccines prevented transmission. Despite this, the CDC and the “We Can Do This” campaign promoted the idea that only vaccinated individuals could safely forego masks and social distancing.
This overstated efficacy became a significant issue as breakthrough infections began to rise, especially with the emergence of more transmissible variants like Delta. The administration’s insistence that vaccines stopped transmission contradicted the FDA’s original EUA terms and created a false sense of security.
When real-world data began to show that vaccinated individuals could still spread the virus, the CDC was forced to retract and revise its messaging, further damaging its credibility. This disconnect between official statements and emerging evidence betrayed the public’s trust.
Meanwhile, the report highlights how vaccine mandates became a contentious tool in the government’s strategy to control the pandemic.3 You saw federal, state and private employers enforcing COVID-19 shot requirements, often without clear, evidence-based justification. These shot mandates targeted millions, demonstrating the extent of overreach and coercion.
With Donald Trump’s explosive victory Nov. 5, there should no longer be any doubt: The Age of Obama is finally over. But it’s not just that his charm and influence have waned, as was evident in the almost unrecognizably grumpy old man who took the stage in the final days of the Harris campaign. The legacy of his entire political project has now been thrown in the ash heap of history.
Will Democrats learn their lesson? Color me doubtful. I don’t see how they can step it up much from the “Trump is literally Hitler” line of attack, but I trust they’re creative enough to figure it out over these next four years. At least we can now be quite certain that it won’t work; Obama’s poisonous legacy has finally met its rightful end. If your idea of “progress” requires aggressive censorship, fomenting racial hatred and tearing apart the fabric of society, perhaps you should consider that it’s you who is on the wrong side of history.
The biographer and historian added that he believes the disastrous election result for Democrats means they will no longer want the Obamas front and center in future campaigns.
‘The conclusion for Democrats is that they’ve got to dispense with these people from the past, including Hillary Clinton too, and move to a new generation of figures who are not in the AOC club at all,’ he said, referring to left-wing firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
But the writer predicted that Barack still has enough ‘star-power’ to pull in large speaking fees – such as the $400,000 he was paid for a single 2017 speech by Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald, according to the New York Times.
‘I’m not sure that would necessarily decline. He still has the celebrity factor of being an ex-president,’ Garrow said.
The author said he expected the Obamas to ‘continue to hang out with celebrities and live on Martha’s Vineyard’, the millionaires’ playground island off the coast of Massachusetts.
‘I certainly expect them to be spending less time in Washington after early January,’ he said.
Garrow wrote the 2017 biography Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama. He won his Pulitzer for an earlier book on Martin Luther King.
He predicted that the Obamas will now largely vanish from the political scene to hang out with celebrities on Martha’s Vineyard’.
Garrow said Tuesday’s electoral rout has left Obama, 63, ‘nervous’ about the impact Trump could have on how he is seen by future generations.
‘He has been and remains extremely concerned and nervous about his historical legacy,’ he said.
‘That has certainly taken a big hit with Trump once again triumphing.’
JOE ROGAN: OBAMA “STRAIGHT UP LIED”. You’ll have to click on the link as my X-Twitter fight to embed with WordPress continues, but it is a good piece of work.
You’d think they’d learn, but some companies just can’t help themselves from ruining a good thing.
Here we go….
British sports car manufacturer Jaguar, one of the most celebrated motorsport brands, first gained prominence in the 1950s with its iconic C-Type and D-Type sports cars, securing seven victories at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. Jag launched the iconic E-Type at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show and has since produced stylish vehicles for the general public and racing teams.
Given Jaguar’s legacy of racing excellence, their marketing team has just nuked the brand in a manner reminiscent of Bud Light’s controversial ad featuring Dylan Mulvaney, a man who identifies as a woman.
Jag’s new ad, published on X on Tuesday morning, is titled “Copy nothing.”
Here is the link to the ad but trust me, it’s a turd
Yet it looks like their marketing team copied a scene from the movie Zoolander.
The X post was heavily ratio’d, and many people were utterly baffled by how tone-deaf Jaguar’s marketing team has become in an era increasingly shifting away from toxic woke ideology.
“Umm where are the cars in this ad? Is this for fashion?” X user Pixel Prett asked.
Jag’s social media team responded: “Think of this as a declaration of intent.”
Jag’s inability to read the room as the wokeism tide in corporate America goes out is troubling for the brand…
Screw the old people who need help. Kick the Medicare can down the road, but make sure to fund a climate scam that launders money to politicians.
When Democrats rammed through the Inflation Reduction Act during the days they controlled all of Washington, D.C., it ignited a chain reaction that led to higher Medicare costs for America’s senior citizens.
“Nearly two years after its passage, the IRA has diverted nearly $260 billion from the projected Medicare ‘savings’ to pay for special interest handouts like large tax credits for costly electric vehicles, enormous subsidies paid to big health insurer-PBM corporations, and funding health care programs for illegal immigrants,” Ron Fitzwater, Chief Executive Officer of the Missouri Pharmacy Association, wrote in an Op-Ed in the Missouri Times.
“The Biden-Harris administration is not protecting Medicare; they’re stealing from it,” he wrote.
According to Politico, the chain reaction began when the act shifted the burden of paying for prescription medicine from seniors to insurance companies.
Then came what could have been predicted: Insurance companies hiked their premiums for 2025.
Fitwater, in his Op-Ed, said increases were coming in at 179 percent.
But since that was going to hit right before the election, there was one more step – a federal bailout that has the taxpayer-funded federal treasury taking the hit for what the IRA caused.
Here is the last paragraph, but the one that explains what is really wrong and how to fix it. The fans would come back to see this: —-> Until Star Wars is fun, masculine, cool, and sexy again (instead of prim, proper, woke, and preachy), the phenom is over. And it might be over regardless, because Kathleen Kennedy’s obsession with homosexuality and gender politics has drained the greatest franchise in Hollywood history of all its goodwill.
The groomers had slated December 18, 2026, for some untitled Star Wars piece of shit. But in a humiliating move, because everything Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy touches turns to shit, Ice Age 6 has been slotted in its place.
Our best guess is that this Star Wars piece of shit would have been a continuation of the Skywalker Saga starring Daisy Ridley’s Rey, a Mary Sue character absolutely no one cares about. After defeating the Empire in a 2019 Star Wars piece of shit called The Rise of Skywalker, this new piece of shit would have apparently had Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order, an order that almost certainly would have been made up of effeminate men, hairy guys in high heels, dumb dads, pronouns, land acknowledgments, and homely lesbians.
I’ve lost count of how many Star Wars projects have been announced and then canceled over the past few years. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, Marvel chief Kevin Feige, Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, the Games of Thrones guys, directors James Mangold, Dave Filoni, Donald Glover, Taika Waititi, and Shawn Levy, have all come and gone, or at least faded.
Somehow, and I’m sure this has nothing to do with affirmative action, Kathleen Kennedy remains in charge. She destroys Star Wars, Willow, and Indiana Jones — but there she stands surrounded by her own smoking wreckage only because she has lady parts.
There has been no Star Wars feature film since 2019… Since the putrid Rise of Skywalker… To understand what a failure that is, you must remember that after acquiring Lucasfilm, Disney’s original stated goal was to release a Star Wars feature twice a year.
Next on the schedule is director Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, a spin-off from a fading Disney+ streaming series that did this in its most recent season. That feature is scheduled for May of 2026. After that, another untitled Star Wars movie is scheduled for December 17, 2027.
Until Star Wars is fun, masculine, cool, and sexy again (instead of prim, proper, woke, and preachy), the phenom is over. And it might be over regardless, because Kathleen Kennedy’s obsession with homosexuality and gender politics has drained the greatest franchise in Hollywood history of all its goodwill.
New strain of mpox reported in Bay Area, believed to be 1st confirmed case in US
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – The first case of a new strain of mpox in the United States has been reported in San Mateo County, officials said Saturday.
California’s Department of Public Health reported the case to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who say it is the first reported case of mpox in the country after the patient recently traveled outside the U.S.
According to the CDPH, the patient recently returned traveling from Africa, and their diagnosis is related to the ongoing outbreak in Central and Eastern Africa.
Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a rare disease caused by infection with a virus that’s in the same family as the one that causes smallpox.
Milder symptoms can include fever, chills and body aches. In more serious cases, people can develop lesions on the face, hands, chest and genitals.
Levi’s is as woke as they come. They are everything left and are in Bud Light territory for being hard to take.
Then this….
Going into the election, I was scolded by people telling me why what I was prioritizing in my voting choice was wrong. COVID-19 is over. Boys in girls’ sports isn’t happening. No one is getting censored. You’re getting it all wrong. Subtext: You’re an idiot influenced by far-right loons, and you’re a bigot to the core. What happened to you, Jen?
Here’s what happened to me. I get to care about what I want to care about. And for the last 10 years, the far Left has been not only telling us what we need to care about but smearing us and canceling us if we don’t agree.
We dissident former lefties have been called racists, misogynists, Nazis, grandma-killers, transphobes, bigots, and fascists and generally cast aside as unworthy of employment or membership in polite society. The election was a big middle finger to all of that.
The Left canceled too many of us.
The outcasts spoke up and rejected the crazy on Nov. 5. Sure, we may have chosen our own brand of crazy. But, that brand of crazy knows men and women are different, boys don’t belong in girls’ sports, inflation is real, free speech is the most fundamental right in a democracy, and Vice President Kamala Harris was installed, not elected, as the Democratic candidate.
Again, WordPress is giving me a hard time embedding X posts. Click on it to see how far the left and media have gone on DEI, racial quotas, and open borders and blamed it on the far right, liars.
Scientific Americanbills itself as an outlet that “covers the most important and exciting research, ideas and knowledge in science, health, technology, the environment and society. It is committed to sharing trustworthy knowledge, enhancing our understanding of the world, and advancing social justice” that “reaches more than 10 million people around the world each month.” On Thursday, editor-in-chief Laura Helmuth resigned after calling Donald Trump voters “fucking fascists.”
“The Board of Education is united in finding the teacher’s behavior reprehensible and unacceptable, and we are horrified and deeply offended by statements made in the video,” the statement reads in part. “As representatives of this community, we demanded an immediate response and are grateful to Superintendent, Dr. Solan and all parties involved for their swift actions to ensure a resolution. This incident has been treated with the utmost care, and every step taken has aligned with legal and ethical standards.”
First lady Jill Biden’s former press secretary blasted Democrats who label opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as racist this week after an MSNBC guest called President-elect Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee a “White supremacist.”
“This s— has to stop,” Michael LaRosa, who served as the first lady’s press secretary from 2021 to 2022, posted on X in response to an MSNBC guest calling President-elect Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee and former Fox News host, Pete Hegseth, a “White supremacist” in response to his opposition to DEI policies.
“Opposing DEI initiatives does not make you a white supremacist. Conversations and demonization like this are a big part of the reason we got our a–es kicked,” he continued.
As always, Woke destroys everything it touches including liberals and the election in 2024.
Get woke, go broke, get fired, lose the election.
The examples like this keep rolling in. America is tired of this shit and just because we don’t agree doesn’t make anyone Hitler. It just makes the one calling someone Hilter an idiot
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said Friday that Special Counsel Jack Smith proved the prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump were intended as political weapons.
“They’re taking the position that the long-standing office of legal counsel guidance at the Justice Department [that] basically says that you can neither indict nor prosecute a sitting president,” McCarthy told “America Reports” co-host Sandra Smith. “They are conceding that President-elect Trump will be certified, that is, at the joint session of Congress which as we all know now, will be January 6th. His victory will be ratified, state-certified electoral votes will be ratified, he will for all intents and purposes be a sitting president as of January 20th. And they are taking the position that under those circumstances, the cases shouldn’t go forward.”
In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, many liberals have announced they are leaving X. Tired of all the “disinformation” they encounter on the platform, they are convinced the time has come to delete their accounts.
It was all OK before Musk bought the biased and censored version of Twitter that discriminated against and banned conservative speech. Once it became a platform for free speech, it was not usable for liberals. They’re really Marxists now but identify as liberals.
NBC News reported that the day after the election, “115,414 accounts were deactivated,” the biggest one-day exodus since Elon Musk bought the platform.
Let’s see what Aristotle said about it:
Aristotle: ‘It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.’
In other words, you can listen, but don’t have to believe the other side. You could also be a critical thinker and know they were wrong, but not let it change your POV or be so butt-hurt that you had to act like a child and leave X for attention.
“Meanwhile, daily traffic to competitors Bluesky and Threads have jumped since the beginning of October.” NBC reporters spoke to six people who have left X for these platforms since Election Day. These individuals cited “growing issues on X, including bots, partisan ads, and harassment” as their reasons for leaving. Harassment likely means they were hit with a community note or someone on the platform disagreed with them.
Importantly, all six said the aforementioned issues “reached a tipping point when Trump won the election.”
In a separate article, NBC recounts the experience of former X user Kara Wurtz, a 39-year-old finance director in St. Louis. For Wurtz, “the day after the election was the ‘final straw.’” She claimed that, “under Musk’s leadership,” … X “became a place where I wasn’t really getting what I wanted out of it anymore.”
What she “wanted out of it” was validation of her own world view. Following Musk’s takeover, she was forced to hear opinions that differed from her own for the first time. That didn’t happen before Musk took over the platform.
“Every time I opened it up,” she said, “it would throw things at me that put me in a bad mood.”
Yes, the truth is like that.
Anyway, as the flight continues, some users are still on the fence. But there is one trait they all seem to share: their egos are the size of the Grand Canyon.
Joy Ried leaves X – because she can’t handle the negativity. Let’s not forget that she was 100% negative on Conservatives, Trump and Whites before leaving
They act like children who don’t get their way and take their ball and go home. In case they didn’t notice, they have no audience and cellar-dwelling ratings due to lying and disparagement.
I’d advise them to grow up and act like adults, sort of like half the country did for the last 4 years.
The first clue is that it is Hollywood, the capital of fake people and pretentiousness. The second clue is that it is girls backstabbing each other. They learned this when they were growing up, not when they got to Hollywood. Finally, it is a fight over men. That sums up that it’s a load of crap and they are just bitches.
Young star Sydney Sweeney hit back at the claim that women are “empowering” each other in Hollywood and said “it’s all fake.”
Speaking to Vanity Fair, the 27-year-old actress was asked about recent comments by Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway who said female performers have a tendency to knock down women at their professional peak. It came after a film producer, earlier this year, attacked Sweeney’s talent and looks.
“It’s very disheartening to see women tear other women down, especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard—hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have—and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done,” Sweeney said. “This entire industry, all people say is ‘Women empowering other women.’ None of it’s happening. All of it is fake and a front for all the other sh*t that they say behind everyone’s back.”
“I mean, there’s so many studies and different opinions on the reasoning behind it,” she added. “I’ve read that our entire lives, we were raised—and it’s a generational problem—to believe only one woman can be at the top. There’s one woman who can get the man. There’s one woman who can be, I don’t know, anything.”
Tuesday’s defeat for the Democrats is raising a lot of questions in that party.
The questions they’re asking most are the most obvious ones: What went wrong? Where did the message fall short in mobilizing voters against President-elect Donald Trump?
An X user named HVAC1 — a self-described HVAC master and business owner — responded to a clip from MSNBC in which panelists were asking these questions. He gave the “simple answer” as “a former union democrat.”
“I’ll make it real simple for ya from a former union democrat… Easy fix. [Y]ou s**t on and insult working people from your mansions and gated communities. [Y]ou steal from us to give to your pet constituents. [Y]ou call us enemies and garbage, deplorable, and nazis…” he wrote.
He went on to make over a dozen additional points about Democrats ramping up inflation, threatening to pack the courts, lying constantly, forcing “sexual perversions and fetishes on us,” and so much more.
The women’s vote in America is undergoing a profound transformation, marking a shift in how women view their place in politics.
Over the past four years, the establishment media and leftist agendas have pushed divisive narratives regarding gender, family and women’s issues. While they have put tampons in boys’ bathrooms, labeled conservatives as “garbage,” and called masculinity toxic, the America First movement has stayed grounded in values that genuinely matter to women, mothers and families. With President-elect Donald J. Trump recently naming Susie Wiles as the first female White House chief of staff in American history, the left’s hollow claims of supporting women are more exposed than ever.
When will they get the message? Women stand with the America First movement.
The left has not only alienated women by pushing radical policies, but they have even gone so far as to demean and ridicule conservative women. Their divisive rhetoric reveals an intolerance that many women are fed up with. Media giants like Disney, Bud Light and Target have adopted and promoted these ideologies, leading to a backlash from consumers, especially women, who are tired of having their values trampled. Financial repercussions followed as stock values dropped, signaling that Americans — especially women — have had enough. The message is clear: The America First movement is here to protect, not undermine, women’s interests.
While Obama and Woodrow Wilson fight for who is the most racist and hates The United States the most, I give you this.
Biden and Carter were incompetent to lead. They were people who found their way to the top because of circumstances other than them being qualified to be president.
Both will be remembered for taking a nation in good shape, and running it into the ground.
Fortunately, Reagan saved us and hopefully Trump can stop the damage Biden has done.
Pinkerton: Joe Biden Really Was Carter 2.0
the Biden administration can be turned over to historians, who will take note of yet another commonality between the 46th president and the 39th president: both were one-termers. (You can see all my earlier pieces, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.)
Biden’s presidency began with a bang. He had vast ambitions to be another Franklin D. Roosevelt, enacting big, bold—and lefty—New Deal-type programs, someof whichhe passed.
In his own not-so-modest self-evaluation, Biden predicted he would be remembered as more consequential than Barack Obama, the first Black president, as well as a two-termer—and also the man who, back in 2008, tapped Biden for the vice presidency, thus lifting Biden to the pinnacle of national renown.
Yet in return, Biden bore no small amount of jealousy, even bitterness, toward the 44th president, who wanted to see Hillary Clinton, not Biden, succeed him in 2016. Historian will note that for all his self-declared nice-guy-ness, Biden has always had a chip on his shoulder the size of Delaware.
Biden’s obsessive banging for fame and power makes it all the more remarkable that his presidency is ending with a whimper. He was forced to abandon his re-election effort in July, and now he sees that Trump, not Kamala Harris, will be his Oval Office successor.
n that article, presidential historian Douglas Brinkley jumped in to the fray, aiming at Biden: “He was supposed to be the bridge, a transition bridge for the next generation of Democrats.” Yet instead, Brinkley continued, Biden “blew up the bridge.” Ouch.
In fact, the immediate Biden post-presidency will be consumed by scoopy and juicy recriminations, as the Biden and Harris camps tradeblame for the Democrats’ defeat, with former Obama officials joining in the crossfire.
Yet future chroniclers will likely assign most of the blame to Biden. He campaigned in 2020 as “Middle Class Joe,” or “Scranton Joe,” or “Amtrak Joe,” and yet once in office, he governed well to the left, especially on cultural issues.
I often say that everything that Woke touches goes to hell, broke, or both. It is tough to stomach these people trying to ruin Western Civilization – also the definition of Marxism.
There were many reasons that President-elect Donald Trump won in such a resounding victory this week: inflation, the bewildering open border policy, the Afghanistan withdrawal humiliation, the world on fire, etc. But let’s not forget one of the top ones: This was a resounding defeat of wokeism.
Voters have rejected wokeism—defined here as an unhealthy obsession with viewing all of life as a struggle between oppressors and oppressed, or, as the woke would put it, being “awake” to the misfortunes of the marginalized.
Throughout her long public career, the vice president has embraced all the woke nostrums. She was particularly adept at describing equity—the government and the private sector treating Americans differently depending on their race—and how it is different from equality.
“So, there’s a big difference between equality and equity,” she voices over in a 2020 animated video. “Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.”
President Joe Biden spoke the word “equity” constantly, but he struggled with it, at times starting to say “equality” before catching himself. And he never described or defined in any way the thinking behind it—probably because he lacked the knowledge.
Harris, however, completely abandoned her views during the three months she ran for president, and the media, of course, never held her accountable.
This was a tacit admission that she understood how much the country hated the use of race to justify dismantling society or the promotion of the idea that the United States is systemically racist. Voters also happen to disagree with allowing males to use women’s bathrooms and allowing minors to surgically or chemically castrate themselves or remove other healthy body parts.
It is, of course, an open question whether Harris’ sudden march to the center on these issues was a political ruse and whether she would have turned around and promoted these policies once elected.
Who is biased now? Who discriminated against because of politics? Who weaponized government agencies. Well, here comes the truth.
North Carolina was hit as hard as any state. Whole towns were wiped out. I saw the damage personally as I was in one of them. Thank God for Samritan’s Purse because that is who helped people, not FEMA.
Now this.
Avoiding helping Trump supporters was a nationwide policy, according to the woman who was fired for putting it in writing.
The purpose of doing so, we are told, is that Trump supporters are dangerous to FEMA workers, and therefore should be avoided.
The FEMA official who was just fired for telling workers to avoid homes impacted by the hurricanes in Florida if they had Trump signs says that it was not "isolated" and that FEMA workers were instructed to do it in the Carolinas too. pic.twitter.com/BpBdZFSSPR
I don’t know to what extent the accusation that Trump supporters are any more likely to be hostile to FEMA workers, but if so, I am pretty sure that cause and effect are reversed. Obviously, Trump supporters who suspect that FEMA was doing its best not to help them were right, and since that is the case, they have every reason to be less than friendly to FEMA workers.
However, I seriously doubt there is much to the accusation in the first place. After all, there are countless videos of people in hurricane-ravaged areas begging for help. No doubt there is some Trump supporter somewhere who was nasty to a FEMA worker after being left to suffer for days, but the claim that this was a trend is…doubtful.
FEMA is, after all, part of the Department of Homeland Security, and under DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas nothing good has happened, and lots that is evil has. This is the man who controlled the porous border, is the boss of the Secret Service, and who has presided over disasters aplenty.
I doubt there will be justice and the people who suffered are still recovering. It’s not because of FEMA, it’s because of their neighbors and church organizations. We can’t clean house fast enough of these haters.
Cut the crap with the misogyny vote and especially racism. The liberals ran a very flawed person as a candidate. It was Hillary 2.0, minus a few points because at least Hillary is smart.
Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate. Democrats brought this on themselves. Joe Biden was a weak candidate, and his vice president was worse. Biden should have had serious challenges in the 2020 primaries and should never have been allowed to run again. Harris couldn’t even get 1% support from her party in 2020. Installing her as the candidate four months before the election, and crafting a campaign about “vibes” and her gender and ethnic background to cover for her inability to articulate a single coherent policy position, was madness. Democrats deserved to lose.
No, Harris didn’t lose because she’s a woman, or black, or biracial. Nor did she lose because of bigotry or white supremacy or Christian nationalism, whatever these might mean. Rather, she lost because she was attached to policies opposed to common sense and, when she tried to distance herself from them, it looked more like pandering than a principled change of heart. When flipping on issues, she didn’t actually seem to believe that her past positions were wrong, only that they wouldn’t get her elected. Ultimately, she came across as inauthentic and evasive and, like Hillary Clinton, entitled. And that’s on her and the establishment media that enabled her, not on Trump or the bogeymen of patriarchy and systemic racism.
Enough, then, with the Hitler comparisons and the doomsaying about the death of democracy. Enough also with the claims of fascism and white supremacy. Many citizens, frankly, are sick and tired of history and race being exploited to keep dysfunctional politicians in power, or to make Americans feel bad about their country, which by and large has been exemplary for its integration of people from all over the world of different races, ethnicities, and religions. They’re also sick, for that matter, of race and identity categories being exploited generally, whether by establishment media, college DEI programs, or the entertainment industry.
The rhetoric is the problem. For decades, Democrats in the punditocracy have ramped up their attacks on every single Republican candidate for president (Reagan, Bush 1 and 2, McCain, Romney, and Trump). More recently, these condescending elites have turned their fire on the American public, calling Trump supporters “deplorables,” “garbage” and “racists” who were willing to elect a fascist dictator (Trump). Whether or not the talking heads in the press believe their own shtick, their followers clearly do. Social media is now filled with people flailing, crying, and screaming that their lives are in danger. This is nonsense that borders on mental illness, and those who promote and encourage it deserve to lose their jobs.
The Trump candidacies of 2016 through 2024, if nothing else, have exposed the snobbery of elites—be they at universities, in the media, or in government—and their general disdain for the concerns of ordinary Americans.
Much was made of Trump as a “strongman” or “dictator” and so those in the echelons of power and influence could write him off as another Hitler or Mussolini and, in turn, excoriate his followers as “anti-American,” “deplorables,” or “garbage,” or as people who “cling to guns or religion” in times of stress. What these elite failed to see, fundamentally, is that Trump spoke to their common-sense values and beliefs – sometimes crudely, yes, but clearly and authentically.
What sorts of values and beliefs? For starters, that the nation’s border should not be wide open as long as lawful immigration avenues exist. That the government should take care of its citizens first and foremost, rooted in basic ideas of social contract. That males don’t belong in women’s sports and that gender is essentially biological, not “fluid.” That criminals should be punished, regardless of race or ethnicity, and that crime should be brought and kept under control. That American jobs and industry should be fostered, not exported. And that America should be energy independent and not beholden to hostile nations abroad.
An angry black woman is not going silently. She’s going to rat out the whole FEMA for being Anti-Trump. This should be interesting.
FEMA is now facing a massive scandal—one so explosive it threatens to shake the foundation of this clearly weaponized organization. The scandal involves an anti-Trump supervisor who ordered her team to avoid helping hurricane-ravaged homeowners with “pro-Trump” signs. Well, there’s been a turn of events, and this story has officially gone nuclear.
The black female supervisor was ultimately fired, and FEMA issued one of their typical ‘outraged’ statements, claiming shock that something so racist and inhumane could happen on their watch. But the bigwigs at FEMA might regret those words soon enough, because this supervisor is singing like a canary.
As it turns out, this supervisor isn’t planning to take the fall alone. She’s claiming that the anti-Trump, politicized atmosphere runs through the entire organization and comes straight from the top. Essentially, she’s using the old “I was just following orders” excuse, but in doing so, she’s blowing this scandal wide open in ways that could be unimaginable—and could spell the downfall of this weaponized federal organization.
After everything we’ve been through these past four years, does this story really surprise anyone? Is there a single organization left in the US that hasn’t been weaponized and bastardized by the left?
A few days before last week’s election, Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a dire warning to voters. If Trump won, “the struggle against climate change will be over.”
He had that right.
Climate change fanaticism was effectively on the ballot last week. That green energy agenda was decisively defeated.
It turns out the tens of millions of middle-class Americans who voted for Trump weren’t much interested in the temperature of the planet 50 years from now. They were too busy trying to pay the bills.
The result shouldn’t be too surprising. Polls have shown climate change ranks near the bottom of voters’ concerns. Jobs, inflation and illegal immigration register much higher on the scale of concerns.
But if you asked the elite of America in the top one percent of income, climate change is seen as an immediate and existential threat to the planet. Our poll at Unleash Prosperity earlier this year found that the cultural elites were so hyper-obsessed with climate issues, they were in favor of banning air conditioning, nonessential air travel and many modern home appliances to stop global warming. Our study showed that not many of the other 99 percent agree.
Wake up, Bernie and Al Gore.
Climate change has become the ultimate luxury good: the richer you are, the more you fret about it.
Go to the last sentence, that tells you everything you need to know about Harvard.
The president of Harvard University’s Institute of Politics has declared that the lesson of the blowout 2024 election is not a need for greater inclusivity and balance at the school but, you guessed it, the express abandonment of nonpartisanship going forward. While many would argue that the school left neutrality behind years ago, Pratyush Mallick is calling in an op-ed for The Harvard Crimson for an official change. It would align the Institute with the building “resistance” and reject not just nonpartisanship but neutrality in its programs and grants.
After the election, I wrote that people hoping for a moment of introspection after the Trump victory will likely be disappointed, and “the rage in the media and academia will only likely increase.” That has unfortunately proven to be the case. The meltdown after the presidential election appears to be building rather than subsiding with attacks from the left on male, female, and minority voters as racists, misogynists, or despotic dupes.
The call for partisanship at Harvard is not unique. Before the election, I criticized Wesleyan University President Michael Roth for urging universities to abandon neutrality and work openly for the election of Kamala Harris. Immediately after the election, Roth doubled down and promised to join the “resistance” against Trump’s “authoritarian” regime.
A few weeks before the election, I participated in a debate at Harvard Law School over the lack of free speech protections and intellectual diversity at Harvard.
This year, Harvard found itself in a familiar spot on the annual ranking of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE): dead last among 251 universities and colleges.
It was always about the money. The Climate trope was just the cover.
It never had any science behind it, only scare tactics and predictions of doom if we don’t spend a lot of money. None of them ever came true, especially the lies of ‘AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH”
Columbia is the home of the Frankfurt School of Marxism. Marx wanted to bring down all of Western Civilization so I guess it isn’t surprising.
Columbia University activists are planning a protest of Veterans Day — which organizers want to “reclaim” from the “Israel-US wr machine” in the name of Palestinians killed in Gaza.
The unsanctioned student group Columbia University Apartheid Divest is circulating flyers for the event — set for Monday on the Ivy League school’s main Morningside Heights campus.
“Veterans Day is an American holiday to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of veterans. We reject this holiday and refuse to celebrate it,” a flyer for the agitator group’s event said.
“The American war machine should not be honored for the horrors unleashed on others,” the flyer added. “Instead, we will celebrate Martyrs Day in honor of those martyred by the Israel-US war machine. A day to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of those martyrs.”
Campus veterans outraged by the plans are planning a celebration of veterans at the same time to counter the antagonists.
The protest was viewed as a slap in the face after the on-campus vitriol sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel — much of which wound up directed at student-veterans.
“That post really shook the hornet’s nest,” said Sam Nahins, a 31-year-old Air Force veteran and Columbia graduate student who completed his undergraduate at the school in the spring.
“They’ve never hid their disdain for veterans. But now it’s really out in the open,” he added. “Last year when students and faculty members were running around dressing up as jihadist and screaming death to America, death to western civilization, death to everything but their cause, I had friends get called infidels, and murderers and baby killers.”
No one mentioned being incompetent, a tremendously poor candidate, unlikeable, and not doing anything of note other than being a DEI hire, but here is what they said:
An exit poll released by Democratic polling firm Blueprint outlined the top three reasons voters nationwide gave for not supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, in her 2024 bid for U.S. president.

The leading issue for voters was that inflation is too high. This was followed by the Biden–Harris administration allowing in too many illegal immigrants, and that Harris focused too much on cultural topics like transgender issues rather than the middle class.
The poll asked 3,262 national and swing state voters in the two days following the 2024 election to rate the importance of potential reasons for their decision to vote for President-elect Donald Trump instead of Harris.
In addition to inflation, illegal immigration, and Harris’s focus on transgender issues, the next three factors named by all voters were that debt rose too high under the Biden–Harris administration, that Harris is too similar to President Joe Biden, and that Harris would let in even more illegal immigrants. One choice that scored high among swing state voters in particular was that “Democrats did a bad job running the country.”
“In the end, Harris couldn’t outrun her past or her party—perhaps it was a lack of time, but it was certainly a vice grip that proved impossible to escape,” the polling report’s authors wrote.
The factors of least concern to voters were that Harris was too pro-Israel, too conservative, or not similar enough to Biden.
The poll’s findings were published as top Democrats reel from Tuesday’s election results, point fingers, and assign blame for who’s responsible for Trump’s sweep of the seven battleground states.
“In this election, Americans have made their voice clear: Democrats need to focus more on issues Americans care about, like wages and benefits, and less on being politically correct … Democrats have been too intimidated to speak up for the same values that many of us hold dear—the American Dream, public safety, and a common sense of right and wrong among them,” Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) wrote in a Nov. 7 post on X.
Educated white liberal women appear to have lost their goddamn minds after the presidential election. Many have posted videos of uncontrollable emotional outbursts over a Trump victory…
with some even threatening to adopt pro-life stances as a form of retaliation against men.
Others have made what appears to be terroristic threats, suggesting at the use of strong poison against men because they voted for the evil ‘Orange Man.’
Internet searches for Aqua Tofana—a potent poison created in Sicily around 1630 by a woman named Giulia Tofana, or Tofania, and historically used by women to free themselves from relationships by killing men—spiked shortly after the election results.
Searches for “Aqua Tofana recipe” surged.
And how to make the poison.
The first search result on Google for “Aqua Tofana recipe” came up with a video on the Chinese social media platform TikTok.
Clicking on the link unveiled many creepy women pushing Aqua Tofana propaganda.
“Melania Trump making some Aqua Tofana from scratch before she reunites with her husband,” one video stated.
The Kamala Harris campaign raised an eye-popping billion dollars over the summer and into the fall, but it still wasn’t enough to beat Trump. It’s a good thing Americans didn’t trust her with the economy and the budget. Oh wait, they did the last 4 years and now we are $35 Trillion in debt
The more astounding part of the story however, is that despite having such a huge war chest of cash, the Harris campaign is ending with $20 million in debt.
Is there a more perfect metaphor for Democratic governance than this?
Harris’s Billion Dollar Campaign is Soliciting Donations and Selling Email List To Cover $20 Million Debt: Report
Vice President Kamala Harris’s billion-dollar campaign is reportedly soliciting donations from supporters and selling its email list to cover its $20 million debt.
Harris, who conceded the presidential race to Donald Trump Wednesday afternoon, ended her campaign with a debt of at least $20 million, sources told Politico’s California bureau chief Christopher Cadelago. The campaign is “selling their email list to make up for the losses,” according to Puck’s senior political correspondent Tara Palmeri.
The Harris campaign in an email Wednesday, well after voting ended, asked supporters to “donate to the Harris Fight Fund today to ensure we have the resources to elect Democrats down the ticket to hold the Trump administration accountable.”
A lot of this money went to concerts in swing states that did nothing to help Kamala’s campaign in the end.
In the end, the Kamala Harris campaign staged seven swing-state concerts on election eve, including performances by Jon Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Las Vegas, Katy Perry in Pittsburgh, and Lady Gaga in Philadelphia.
All of those swing states ended up in President-elect Donald Trump’s win column on Election Day.
While the pop stars reportedly waived their fees for Kamala, the campaign still had to pay for the staging, sound, security, and other costs associate with putting on a big rock concert.
Former senior Obama advisor-turned-senior Kamala Harris advisor David Plouffe hasdeleted his X account after suggesting on Wednesday that Harris’ landslide defeat was Joe Biden’s fault for not dropping out soon enough, and right as a massive campaign debt scandal erupts.
“We dug out of a deep hole but not enough. A devastating loss,” Plouffe posted to X – in what many interpreted as a dig at Biden.
Boyle’s post in its entirety:
Ok so this just got very explosive. A Kamala campaign staffer who saw these posts called me just now and said there is a massive scandal here worthy of an audit.
The $20 million debt thing is real.Rob Flaherty, this staffer said, is currently shopping around the Kamala fundraising email list to anyone who wants it to try to raise the money back. This includes other campaigns and outside groups.
Flaherty is the deputy campaign manager and reports to Jen O’Malley Dillon.
“Jen blew through a billion dollars in a few months and it was all Jen’s idea to do all the concerts.” — Kamala campaign adviser told me
This source added that O’Malley Dillon did these “concerts,” like Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen et cetera at the expense of “prioritizing and spending money on social media and other campaign priorities.”
Apparently a group in Georgia had to lay off 100 people because they couldn’t pay them.
It’s unclear at this time if the campaign PAID the talent to perform but the cost of production for the events was “immense.”
What’s more, this Kamala campaign staffer said several people who were working for the Kamala Harris for President campaign are still awaiting several overdue payments they were promised for their work. IE, they didn’t pay the staff.
This Kamala campaign staffer said to me of @jomalleydillon
“People didn’t like working with her. Many people on the campaign felt like we lost because Kamala wasn’t allowed to run her campaign. They were running Joe Biden’s campaign instead of a Kamala campaign. Obnoxious and very much a gate keeper and interfering with the vice president’s people who were trying to do their job.”
Delusions of Adequacy
