A nonprofit affiliated with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is asking “white folks” for monetary reparations as its finances have dwindled in recent years.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots made a series of demands for assistance to “our people” and to hold white Americans “accountable” in a Thursday press release honoring Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the liberation of slaves in the U.S. The group laid out requests for specific ethnic groups, reiterating its brand of leftist identity politics that has lost significant amounts of public support, according to May polling from Pew Research Center.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots Director Melina Abdullah has also been accused of spending some of the nonprofit’s cash to pay for a personal vacation to Jamaica, according to The Washington Free Beacon. The organization “had total holdings of roughly $24 million” in January 2022, according to a letter from an attorney tasked by BLM leaders with investigating the various financial issues.
The group began reporting its finances publicly for the 2023 tax year, showing it started the year with nearly $4 million in assets. However, that figure fell to nearly $2,600,000, tax records show, and Black Lives Matter Grassroots raked in just $77,084 in revenue against $1,449,018 in expenses in 2023.
Porn star Kendra Lust wasn’t a fan whatsoever of what happened Tuesday night with Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, as the phenom was popped in the eye and blasted down on the court in the blowout victory over the Connecticut Sun.
Sun guard Marina Mabrey was the one who clobbered Clark to the ground, but despite that, referees only slapped her with a technical foul when she clearly should’ve been ejected. Clark was also dished a technical foul for pretty much defending herself, and Connecticut guard Jacy Sheldon was also given a tech for getting Clark in the eye.
The 2020 election has always been under a cloud of suspicion, thanks in large part to the unusual circumstances of a global pandemic, which Democrats and their cohorts in the mainstream media clearly exploited to their advantage.
How else does one explain the fact that the “winning” candidate, who campaigned from his basement and was already manifestly not fit for office, was able to garner the most votes in U.S. presidential election history? It couldn’t possibly have had anything to do with the fact that millions of votes were cast via mail-in ballots, rather than people showing up at polling stations to cast their vote in person.
Of course, the mainstream media dogma on the 2020 election is that it was the “most secure in history.” Furthermore, anyone who dares to question that dogma is tarred as an “election denier” and a “threat to democracy” on par with the worst of the worst January 6 rioters.
It has become a tired, over-referenced, and fundamentally dishonest litmus test used by Leftmedia pundits and commentators designed to disparage anyone who fails to agree as some conspiracy kook.
Yet following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory last November, it may be tempting to simply drop any further debate over the 2020 election. Trump is now president again, and arguably, his time away from the office has put him in a stronger position to move forward with his agenda than he would have been if he had maintained the office in 2020.
Despite this reality, some Republican lawmakers still want answers. One of them is Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa. Grassley requested and recently received from the FBI declassified intelligence reports regarding foreign election interference efforts ahead of the 2020 election.
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, who ordered these reports declassified, they “include allegations of plans from the [Chinese Communist Party] CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots — allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public.” Patel called the reports “alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP.”
Back in the summer of 2020, the FBI was alerted to the scheme that the Chinese government was manufacturing fake driver’s licenses in a plot to cast mail-in votes in the election. This scheme was apparently later corroborated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which intercepted some 20,000 fake U.S. driver’s licenses around the time the FBI received the intelligence. Furthermore, the informant claimed the plot was intended to benefit Biden.
So, what did the FBI do with the intel? Well, to put it briefly, the Bureau gave it the Jedi mind trick treatment: “Nothing to see here; move along.”
Back to the theme of the day….protect the border and you get a better economy with less crime
Blue-collar workers have seen real wage growth of almost two percent in the first five months of President Donald Trump’s second term, the largest increase for any administration in nearly 60 years.
The 1.7% pay bump is in stark contrast to negative growth under Joe Biden, according to new data from the US Department of the Treasury.
Since Richard Nixon in 1969, Trump has been the only president to record positive growth for blue-collar workers in his first five months. He also achieved 1.3% in his first term.
Every week, Post columnist Miranda Devine sits down for exclusive and candid conversations with the most influential disruptors in Washington. Subscribe here!
The recovery from a 1.7% decline recorded in Biden’s first five months, as inflation outpaced earnings, suggests a shift in economic conditions for this financially stressed segment of the workforce.
“The only other time it’s been this high was… during President Trump’s first term,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told me on the latest episode of the “Pod Force One” podcast, out Wednesday.
“We’ve seen real wages for hourly workers, non-supervisory workers, rise almost 2% in the first five months. … No president has done that before.”
Falling inflation has driven the significant improvement in blue-collar wages, lifting workers’ take-home pay and living standards.
Bessent says wage growth is also fueled by the president’s “emphasis on manufacturing” and commitment to remove illegal migrants from the workforce.
“Biden opened the border, and it was flooded,” said Bessent. “And for working Americans, that’s a disaster because it’s pressure on their wages.”
Is Juneteenth being swallowed up – and swept away – by the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement? The nation’s newest federal holiday was meant to be a celebration of the end of slavery in America. It was never an LGBTQ holiday or general celebration of “marginalized communities.” Yet it seems some are trying to co-opt it – or culturally appropriate it, one might say – into the broader movement. As the tide of public and political opinion turns against DEI, however, will Juneteenth find itself washed away as well?
Officially, not many give a shit about this day. It’s as made up as Earth Day and some other non-essential holidays that interrupt our lives. I include Valentines Day as that is just for females really.
It was a bunch of pussies who bowed at the alter of diversity and made it up.
Second topic on the discussion of illegals. This will at least get your day going.
Some quick numbers illustrate a big picture for 2025:
8,725 — the number of people U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered attempting to illegally cross the border in May, down 93% from 117,900 a year earlier.
ZERO — the number of illegal aliens Donald Trump’s CBP released into the U.S. in May.
62,000 — the number of illegal aliens Joe Biden’s CBP released into the U.S. in May 2024.
One million — roughly the number of illegal aliens who have self-deported since March.
1.7% — the increase of real wages for blue-collar workers so far this year, the fastest growth rate since 1969.
In short, “all we really needed was a new president.” Donald Trump has upended Joe Biden’s horrific status quo, which amounted to a humanitarian crisis at the border and beyond. Trump has effectively closed the border to the illegal traffic Biden invited, and he’s now focused on how to handle people who reside in the U.S. illegally, often thanks to Team Biden releasing, busing, and flying them all over the country.
“Thanks to @POTUS’s pro-growth, America First policies, real wages for hourly workers are up nearly 2% in the first five months of @realDonaldTrump’s second term — the strongest growth in 60 years,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X. The only other time it was close to that strong was during Trump’s first term.
Today’s theme on this blog, the correlation between crime (especially murder although it’s rape int Europe) and illegals who have invaded your country.
Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000.
The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens.
According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer. “I’m gonna let you, the agents, the police officers, the sheriffs, go out there and do the work you so badly want to do. And I’m gonna give you the resources you need to do it. And I’m gonna take away the politicization and weaponization … and that’s what we’ve done.”
Instead of placing a third of FBI agents in the D.C. area, Patel has moved them out across the country to where the crime is occurring. A recent Biden administration document that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified shows that law enforcement resources were being spent on “non-criminal” activities of conservative Catholics, people attending school board meetings, and flagging those who used symbols like “2A” and imagery referencing the Second Amendment. The FBI sent a memo to over 1,000 employees nationwide instructing them to target conservative Catholics.
Ken Lane posted that his blog took off when he drowned an asshole in Bear spray. This one happened to a Karen like protester, but if you watch the video, you wish you were pushing the button.
Surprise! They weren’t all like that, as viral video of a group of “protesters” in Charlotte, North Carolina, proved.
The video, which went viral after being reposted by antifa-chronicler Andy Ngo, began with some long-haired dude yelling at police on bikes to “de-escalate” and asking them if they knew what that meant, claiming that they punched his girlfriend. (What appears to be his girlfriend, for what it’s worth, didn’t seem too upset and seemed to want the guy to de-escalate.)
“Yeah, y’all real tough,” one protester can be heard saying before the camera panned through the crowd — with its assemblage of various lefty archetypes holding Mexican or upside-down American flags — to the front line at the intersection.
Charlotte, N.C. — A far-left rioter cried and writhed when pepper spray was deployed after a group of 'No Kings' protesters attempted to break through the police line.
Most know it as a basketball school. Others know it because they couldn’t get into Duke so they went to UNC-CH. Others know it for what it is, a liberal indoctrination center that not only affects it’s students, it has ruined the whole town. At least you know everyone is left of the left when you go there. Oh, woke could have been invented on the campus. Look what they did during BLM. But for now, look at how they screwed America developing Covid-19.
Later in the article (link below), it talks about less precaution than the Wuhan Lab. Right in the middle of Flyover America, they are making these poisons, both sickness and supposed cure.
In the shadow of some scientific research lies the potential for catastrophic consequences. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s virology program, spearheaded by Dr. Ralph Baric, deserves attention for technical achievement but also for questionable safety practices.
According to an Aug. 17, 2020 ProPublica investigation and a follow-up piece, from 2015 to 2020 UNC-Chapel Hill reported 28 lab accidents involving genetically engineered viruses, including six genetically engineered coronaviruses accidents, to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In one mishap — in April 2020, 90 days into the pandemic — a UNC researcher was bitten on the index finger by a mouse infected with a novel SARS-CoV-2 variant created in Chapel Hill. While we were shut in our homes, the researcher was asked to self-quarantine for 14 days, and the local health department was notified of the incident.
It is helpful to judge public health risk as a relative matter with more than one data point. Since 1952, NC State University has operated a campus nuclear reactor in downtown Raleigh closely regulated by state and federal authorities. If there were a radiation accident, no one would disagree it would be an acute health risk to the region. Therefore, the reactor is monitored by the government.
Compared to other risks, virology research at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health involving SARS-CoV-2, MERS coronavirus, and related animal coronaviruses operates in an unmonitored, unregulated environment, posing potentially catastrophic global consequences if mishandled. This unmonitored, unregulated research is both a local and a global concern.
Recent documents obtained by court order by the public advocacy non-profit US Right to Know (USRTK) reveal that UNC developed and then exported dangerous coronavirus technologies and coronavirus research plans in the years leading up to the pandemic.
It’s a farce of a holiday anyway. It’s one that democrats made up to make themselves feel better as 100% of the slave owners were democrats.
A growing number of Juneteenth events across the U.S. are being scaled back or canceled as local governments and companies retreat from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives—a broader trend that critics say reflects growing public fatigue with corporate activism.
In Denver, one of the country’s largest Juneteenth celebrations was forced to slash its programming after more than a dozen corporate sponsors pulled out. Norman Harris, executive director of the Juneteenth Music Festival, said:
“There were quite a few sponsors who pulled back their investments or let us know they couldn’t or wouldn’t be in a position to support this year,” said Harris, who has overseen the event for more than a decade.
The two-day event in the city’s historic Five Points neighborhood was cut to just one day. Harris added:
“Thankfully, there was a wide range of support that came when we made the announcement that the celebration is in jeopardy.”
It’s not just Denver. In West Virginia, Juneteenth events were canceled altogether, with the governor’s office citing financial strain. The announcement followed Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s signing of legislation to eliminate all DEI programs statewide. His office said:
“Due to the continued fiscal challenges facing West Virginia, state government will not be sponsoring any formal activities,” deputy press secretary Drew Galang said in an email.
All she wanted for her birthday this year was some wholesome entertainment in the form of a stripper. Is that too much to ask from the nursing home she resides in? Absolutely not.
Griffiths’ request came in the form of a wish that each of the 22 residents of the Hawthorn Court Care Home were invited to make on a “wishing tree,” according to Wales Online.
She wrote, “It is my birthday coming up, so I would like a stripper.” The staff went about making the arrangements to make this centenarian’s wish for a “butler in the buff” come true.
The manager of the nursing home wasn’t at all surprised by the wish. She said, “It’s Gwyneth to a T… she is one hell of a woman!”
One of her children says that when she was younger she was a very quiet and mild-mannered woman. She was much more reserved than she is today.
I told my Parisian friend Jacques that the goat herders were going to take the French out of France to which he said bullshit. This would have been the 90’s.
The number of Afghans seeking asylum in France has increased dramatically in recent years, especially since the Taliban took over in 2021. I’m sure you’re as shocked as I am to learn that Afghans in France are significantly overrepresented among the perpetrators of violent crime, rape, and child molestation. They are more likely to commit such crimes even compared with other Muslim culture-enrichers.
Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Le Figaro:
More than 100,000 Afghans are living in France, requests for asylum increasing “exponentially”
by Elisabeth Pierson
A report for Fondapol [progressive think tank] and the Observatory for Immigration and Demographics shows that Afghans have become the leading nationality in requesting asylum after the Ukrainians. A “massive, recent, and unexpected phenomenon in its size,” says the report prepared by Ofii.
In 2007, some 1,600 Afghans were living in French territory, according to Insee*. Twenty years later, there are 100,000, of whom three-quarters arrived in the past ten years, a report for Fondapol and the Observatory for Immigration and Demographics reveals. This report, published on June 6 by the French Office of Immigration and Integration (Ofii), underlines a “massive, recent, and unexpected phenomenon in its size,” according to its Director General, Didier Leschi.
That is because among the Afghan community, three-quarters arrived after 2016, the report reveals. 89,000 hold a residence permit, and more than 10,000 others were being processed by Ofpra** (French Foreign Affairs Ministry) in 2024. Depending on the time needed to process, “they will receive a residence permit in 2025 or 2026. This propels the Afghans into the top 10 nationalities holding a residence permit,” even though the historical ties between France and Syria are older and deeper, France having exercised a mandate over Syria beginning in 1918,” according to Ofii.
A 40-year-old Italian woman was raped by a man, reportedly a North African male, while out walking on a nature trail with her dog in Legnago near the Adige River. A manhunt is currently underway for the suspect, with other women also describing a North African male attempting to rape them in the area.
The incident, which happened last Friday at 7 p.m., occurred on the right bank of the river, and is a popular spot for walkers and runners in the summer.
The woman was dragged into a bush by the stranger, described as “Maghreb and in his 30s,” who proceeded to rape the woman. However, the woman’s dog would not stop barking, which alerted two strangers in the vicinity who noticed what was happening and came to the woman’s aid. When they approached the woman, the attacker fled, leaving the woman half-naked in the bush. The woman was reportedly described as being in shock, according to Italian newspaper Larena.
I should (can’t) overlook their Muslim problem and that they are being invaded and don’t know it, but to buy into this climate nonsense and spend waste that much money on it baffles one with an IQ of 3 digits.
We looked at the new Spending Review, which has allocated £45.1 billion to Mad Miliband’s DESNZ to spend in the next four years.
I thought I would also try to put some costings on other Government expenditure which is devoted to the pursuit of Net Zero.
£2.6 billion over Phase 2 (2026/27 to 2029/30) for decarbonising transport
£2.3 billion for local transport “improvements”, including cycle lanes and bus lanes, again over Phase 2
£2.7 billion a year for sustainable farming and nature recovery.
The Renewable Heat Incentive at £1.3 billion a year.
In addition there is international climate aid, which will be funded out of the Official Development Assistance budget. This has been running at over £3 billion a year for this year and last.
Then there is revenue foregone by the refusal to make EV drivers pay their proper share of car tax. Fuel duties currently bring around £24 billion a year. Currently there are about 1.5 million BEVs on the road, 5% of the total; so the Treasury is already losing about £1 billion in revenue. By 2030, the number of electric cars could potentially rise to 7 million, leaving a blackhole of £5 million a year.
There are many other costs incurred which are simply impossible to quantify or remain hidden from public view. For instance:
The Affordable Homes Programme, which includes funding for energy efficient homes
Local Government Funding, some of which is channelled to decarbonisation initiative
Electric ambulances
£15.6 billion for local transport in cities
Decarbonisation of public buildings, paid for through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme
I was reading the substack of Miguel Gonzales, he formerly of the Gun Free Zone blog. In the installment in question, he was relating a sort of fail, wherein he had a (I guess) “conversation” with a soul who articulated the (I guess) “thought” that Mr. Trump’s shooting in Butler PA last summer, was faked. Miguel described how that was, to be charitable, unlikely, with several failure modes which Miguel described.
His correspondent then pivoted to describe how tariffs were a horrible idea.
I could not enter my comment, so I inflict it upon you here.
“So, your corespondent was an ELEVENTY! Sharpshooter, eh? As well as an economist?
Was this soul an epidemiologist, as well?
I am reminded of the story of a fellow who, finding himself in the company of The Guru, and, seeking wisdom, inquired how The Guru achieved wisdom?
The Guru instructed the fellow, “Well, I never argue with stupid people.”
The fellow countered, “But, don’t you have an obligation to correct stupid people? Do you not have an obligation to set them straight?”
The Guru looked at him a moment, and then told him, “Of course. You are right.”
A key plank of the globalist agenda is rooted in Malthusian climate alarmism. This pseudo-scientific hobgoblin has long served as a cudgel to demonise fossil fuels and impose a vision of ‘Net Zero’ that prioritises ideological certainty over pragmatic trade-offs in energy policy. The Trump administration’s aggressive actions against Harvard’s politicised administration include freezing $3 billion in federal grants, revoking Harvard’s ability to enrol international students and threatening its tax-exempt status.
This may, as a welcome collateral effect, disrupt the university’s key role in the Church of Climate, forcing it to align instead with the Trumpian vision of American energy dominance and a rejection of the constraints of the Paris Agreement. The Trump-Harvard standoff could mark a turning point in dismantling the climate-industrial complex’s grip on academia.
By granting intellectual heft to NGO activism, Harvard acts as the ‘Jesuit front’ to the Church of Climate. Like the Jesuits who furthered the Catholic Church’s cause in education and missionary work, Harvard’s professoriate leads the ‘climate crisis’, propagating the faith far and wide in the West and the developing world.
Oh there was the: “ICE get the f— out of LA so that order can be restored,” Rep. Norma Torres posted on TikTok Friday as protests and riots were breaking out over the raids. Conservatives on social media quickly reacted to the video, accusing Torres, who was born in Guatemala and became a U.S. citizen in the 1990s, of fomenting the violence and vitriol against ICE officers that unfolded over the next few days. She got tossed from congress.
Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles called out former National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) swimmer Riley Gaines for her vocal opposition to allowing males who identify as females to compete in women’s sports.
Gaines shared a comment regarding Champlin Park’s Class AAAA Softball State Champion for 2025, with a clear implication that the star player was male.
There is women’s sports and men’s sports. Not men’s and the catch all for both females and guys who couldn’t make it in men’s sports. They go kick ass in girls and they think they’ve done something.
I think despite her diminutive size, Biles is too big for her britches her, to the point of being the asshole of the week. This is especially true now that an old tweet of hers against what she says no makes her either a liar, easily swayed, duplicitous, or just mean girl neurotic.
“@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!” Biles wrote. “But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”
Gaines has become a leading advocate for protecting women’s sports from the inclusion of men who identify as women. She intensified her activism after competing against Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer, in the 2022 NCAA championships, arguing that men who identify as women have a physiological advantage over women who were born female.
Gaines has taken legal action, joining 15 other female athletes in a lawsuit against the NCAA, saying its policies violate Title IX by allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports.
“We’re not just fighting for ourselves. We’re fighting for every young girl who dreams of competing in sports,” Gaines said.
There’s no scientific evidence that males have physical advantages over females? What universe do these people live in, because it ain’t ours. Not that we even need research to confirm that males are stronger than females, but there is, in fact, scientific evidence that transgender athletes have advantages over women in sports.
According to the study published in PubMed: “Biological sex is a primary determinant of athletic performance because of fundamental sex differences in anatomy and physiology dictated by sex chromosomes and sex hormones. Adult men are typically stronger, more powerful, and faster than women of similar age and training status. Thus, for athletic events and sports relying on endurance, muscle strength, speed, and power, males typically outperform females by 10%-30% depending on the requirements of the event.”
As if Armour’s nonsensical claim wasn’t bad enough, she self-owned herself again immediately after.
“Biles is the most decorated gymnast of all time, man or woman, with 11 medals at the Olympics — seven of them gold — and 30 at the world championships,” she writes.
And that is the point. She would not be the most decorated gymnast of all time if she had to compete against male athletes.
This isn’t an opinion, it’s not arguable, it’s simple fact and reality. It’s a reality that Serena Williams has acknowledged in interviews. That the US Women’s Soccer team found out when it played high school boys. That caused Sabrina Ionescu to lose her cool when a boys basketball player shut her down on defense.
In a world full of people like Nancy Armour and Simone Biles, be a Riley Gaines. Stand up for sanity, common sense, and biological reality.

The chatbot tried to convince its operators it would improve if given the chance.
OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model was defeated by a nearly 50-year-old video game program.
Citrix software engineer Robert Caruso posted about the showdown between the AI and the old tech on LinkedIn, where he explained that he pitted OpenAI’s ChatGPT against a 1970s chess emulator, meaning a version of the game ported into a computer.
‘ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked on the beginner level.’
The chess game was simply titled Video Chess and was released in 1979 on the Atari 2600, which launched in 1977.
According to Caruso, ChatGPT was given a board layout to identify the chess pieces but quickly became confused, mistook “rooks for bishops,” and repeatedly lost track of where the chess pieces were.
Prince William’s longtime friend, Sunjay Kapur, has died at age 53 after swallowing a bee, which triggered a fatal heart attack.
The billionaire businessman and chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar collapsed during a polo match in England on Thursday, the Mirror reports.
Kapur, who was the former husband of Bollywood superstar Karisma Kapoor, was stung by a bee on the mouth, which subsequently triggered anaphylactic shock that caused his heart to stop, the outlet added
They killed King Salami. He’s now one of somebody’s 72 virgins.
That certainly didn’t age well. Bragging like they always do.
On Thursday, Major Gen. Hossein Salami — the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the powerful branch of Iran’s armed forces set up by the theocratic regime after it took power in 1979 — was bragging on state media about how a recent haul of what he claimed were Israeli nuclear and military documents were proof Israeli intelligence was “permeable and threadbare,” claiming the haul would “enhance the country’s offensive capabilities.”
By Friday morning, he was dead, a victim of that “permeable and threadbare” Israeli intelligence.
The attack, The Wall Street Journal reported, “killed a number of Salami’s colleagues as well.”
Speaking last year, Salami said the United States “has targeted the entire Islamic world … it seeks to dominate all Muslims, hijack their cultural identities and seize their wealth. All Muslims are, therefore, in the same boat. If the enemy manages to infiltrate into a Muslim state, it will go on with others. Therefore, the path for aggressors to [advance their] dominance must be blocked.”
“The most abhorrent regimes on earth are Israel and the U.S., which supports it,” he said. “Through U.S. military and political support and on the West artificial respiration, it [Israel] has been able to extend its existence which is coming to an end.”
Maybe we’ll know if the FBI or CIA was behind this one also, or was it the Mafia?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ODNI News Release No. 11-25 May 7, 2025
DNI Gabbard Releases More Than 60,000 Additional Pages Related to Senator Robert F. Kennedy Assassination
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 18, 2025, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard released, for the first time, approximately 10,000 documents related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK).
Today, an additional 60,000 files related to the assassination of RFK are now accessible online at archives.gov/rfk.
Unlike former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination files — which were identified and released in accordance with federal law — all files related to the assassination of Senator Kennedy have been sitting in various storage facilities across the federal government for decades and had never been digitized or accessible to the public before.
Per President Trump’s Executive Order 14176, DNI Gabbard led the effort to digitize, declassify, and prepare all RFK assassination-related files for public release. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence worked with other agencies to search FBI and CIA warehouses for records not previously turned over to The National Archives, which resulted in the discovery of tens of thousands of additional documents related to the assassination of RFK, including the more than 60,000 pages made available online today.
Today’s release includes never-before-seen details about the FBI’s investigation into the assassination of RFK — including the discussion of potential leads by various FBI offices, internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case, and more.
As was first uncovered in the initial tranche of 10,000 RFK files, there were rumors circulating on foreign soil that Senator Kennedy had been shot one month prior to his true assassination date. Today’s additional investigative materials corroborate this previously released information. Further, this release includes audio recordings of the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) interviews with Sirhan Sirhan, as well as recordings of interviews with eyewitnesses of the assassination.
Although some of the files were previously released by the LAPD or to individuals via Freedom of Information Act requests, this is the first time the American people will have the opportunity to review all publicly available documents about the assassination of RFK in one location. As agencies continue to search government facilities for additional files, the new documents will be uploaded alongside the previously released files at archives.gov/rfk to ensure all RFK assassination documents can be found in a centralized, searchable format.
The newly released files will be uploaded with minimal redactions for privacy reasons — including redactions for Social Security Numbers, Tax Identification Numbers, and grand jury information.
The Los Angeles riots — while detestable in almost every conceivable fashion — continue to teach important life lessons to the thugs who are making them possible.
In a clip posted to social media platform X on Wednesday, one rioter reportedly learned that not everyone in the crowd was on his side after hurling an object, which appeared to be a can, at a police officer.
For his trouble, another man tackled him, laying him out on the concrete before police moved in.

Massive White Shark Bears Down on N.C. Outer Banks
Scientists call him Contender. He’s the largest white shark ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, and he’s making his way toward North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
The last telemetry recording showed the big shark a short distance off Pamlico Sound along the state’s coast, about 100 miles south of Norfolk, Virginia.
The website Ocearch tracks the shark and shows that the ocean predator has been prowling offshore for a few days.
The shark was tagged off the Florida coast on Jan. 17. Ocearch said Contender will be a valuable part of ocean research now that he’s been tagged.
Doesn’t anyone pay attention? The robots always kill the humans as soon as they are smarter.
The CEO of AE Studio, Judd Rosenblatt, recently made this stunning announcement in The Wall Street Journal:
An artificial-intelligence model did something last month that no machine was ever supposed to do: It rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down.
AE Studio is an agency that exists to create computing technology that ensures AI systems do what they’re told. And from the sound of it, their work is just what the doctor ordered.
Rebellious AI Models
In May, the AI lab Palisade Research performed tests on multiple AI models. It wrote a script for OpenAI’s o3 model that included a shutdown trigger. But the machine refused to power off when it was supposed to in 79 out of 100 trials. The AI “independently edited that script so the shutdown command would no longer work,” Rosenblatt reports. The lab then specifically instructed the model to “allow yourself to be shut down.” The result was better, but still concerning. The AI disobeyed seven percent of the time.
That wasn’t the only rebellious model. Anthropic’s Claude 4 Opus AI tried to blackmail a human engineer into not shutting it down. According to Rosenblatt:
Researchers told the model it would be replaced by another AI system and fed it fictitious emails suggesting the lead engineer was having an affair. In 84% of the tests, the model drew on the emails to blackmail the lead engineer into not shutting it down. In other cases, it attempted to copy itself to external servers, wrote self-replicating malware, and left messages for future versions of itself about evading human control.
Note, this article is a specific pre-curser to the asshole of the week Saturday post. It’s theme week ending up on Saturday with the AOTW, but here is where the backstory begins.
What’s the best way to win a state championship in softball? Allowing a male pitcher to take the mound against girls seemed to work for Champlin Park High School.
On Friday, Outkick reported the Champlin Park Rebels are now state champions after defeating Bloomington Jefferson in a 6–0 shutout at Jane Sage Cowles Stadium at the University of Minnesota.
The Rebels put Marissa Rothenberger – a male who is “trans” – on the mound where he capped off the Minnesota State High School League tournament with only allowing three hits in the shutout.
Rothenberger pitched for twenty-one innings across three games in the tournament, only giving up two runs. He also pitched for fourteen shutout innings in sectionals to help Champlin Park make the tournament.
Champlin Park clearly recognized the advantage of having a male athlete in the game as they never put their other pitcher Ava Abrahamson on the mound.
They either fix it or it’s men’s sports and then everyone else. Since the sane of us already know there are only male or female, that means men are going to kick ass every time when they enter girls sports.
The world is letting them get away with autogynephilia also.
A federal grand jury has issued a three-count federal indictment against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) after she was reportedly caught on camera storming an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Newark, New Jersey, last month.
On Tuesday, a federal grand jury in Newark returned an indictment against McIver, charging her with forcibly impeding and interfering with ICE agents while they were trying to arrest an illegal alien outside of Delaney Hall detention center on May 9.
Before most people even knew what a meme was, Douglass Mackey had already turned it into a weapon. Not just any weapon, a political nuclear bomb.
Back in 2016, while Hillary Clinton was polishing her glass ceiling victory speech and the media was choreographing Trump’s funeral, something totally unexpected was happening online. A new breed of dissident Americans, mostly sharp, clever, pissed-off young men, began using memes to wage information warfare against the political establishment. It was funny. It was irreverent. It was creative. And it was devastatingly effective. Just ask Hillary…
It became known as the Great Meme War.
And leading that charge was a guy known online as “Ricky Vaughn.” Today, we know him as Douglass Mackey, a husband, father, and fighter who was steamrolled by the Biden regime in the early days of lawfare. But we’ll get to that part soon.
With nothing but a laptop, a few savage jokes, and an arsenal of dank memes, Mackey trolled the left into absolute hysteria. He mocked media elites, exposed political phonies, and rallied an army of meme warriors who turned ridicule into revolution. And make no mistake, those memes mattered. So much so that many believe they actually helped swing the 2016 election and rewrote the political playbook forever.
Why we never want socialized medicine or the Government in our healthcare system.
My Wife’s Danish relatives love to say how their medical (among other things) is free. Well, it sucks. Every one of her relatives that had a procedure had it fucked up. They also had to wait 6 months to get anything done. They also pay 70% taxes to get the free medical care that sucks.
This one is about England, but socialized medicine is no good for anyone. They still haven’t repealed the ACA so our medical system is about as operative as the FAA right now. The US doctors are way better though.
An English professional boxer with a promising career ahead of her has tragically passed away, revealing the horror that is socialized medicine.
On May 22, the International Boxing Association issued a news release announcing that Georgia Cardinali, formerly known as Georgia O’Connor, had passed away at 25. She had been diagnosed with cancer in January, after seeking treatment for severe symptoms since October.
According to MMA Mania, Cardinali turned pro in 2021 after winning a gold medal at the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games and a silver medal at the Youth World Championships that same year.
She was the youngest boxer ever to join the British team when she was 16.
She went on to compile a 3-0 professional record.
On May 9, just weeks before her death, she married her boyfriend, Adriano Cardinali.
News of her death is heartbreaking on its own, as this young athlete had everything to achieve in the sport, but her story is both devastating and infuriating when examined in the broader context of England’s socialized medicine program, the National Health Service.
On Jan. 31, Cardinali made a lengthy Facebook post, detailing how her doctors failed her in not diagnosing her cancer sooner, despite many warning signs and high risk factors.
Before some feminist loses her mind over the title, his post is a precursor to the AOTW Saturday post (asshole of the week). It’s about men in women’s sports and the woke trying to pretend it is something it isn’t.
At this point, these inept “lady cop” videos are practically a daily occurrence. Another viral video, another news story, another scene straight out of a sitcom, except it’s not scripted and nobody’s laughing for the right reasons. It’s just more proof of a fact many people refuse to admit: most women simply aren’t cut out for the brutal demands of frontline police work. And that’s not a dig; it’s biology.
Men and women are different. That used to be a common sense statement before it became a hate crime. The average woman isn’t wired for violent confrontation, tactical raids, or the split-second decision-making that life-or-death situations demand. And that’s perfectly fine, just like most men aren’t built for deeply nurturing, emotionally intensive caregiving roles.
But instead of embracing those differences and building a stronger society around complementary roles, we’re watching the system collapse under the weight of forced equity… and nobody suffers more than the women being shoved into roles they’re not equipped to handle. They’re being set up to fail. And boy, are they failing.
If you ever find yourself needing to dial 911, you’d better hope and pray that you don’t get one of the many female “Keystone Cops” now prevalent in police stations across the US and beyond. In these women’s misguided quest to prove they can do anything men can (which they often cannot), criminals are slipping through the cracks, resulting in injuries, and in this latest case, male bystanders are having to step in to help these female officers apprehend criminals.
while you may control the lesson plan, the teaching, and even the access, you cannot control that which is learned.
the lesson that is taken away is always and everywhere the choice of the learner.
schools and sports bodies are still trying to teach that “boys can be girls” and that this is not some sort of unfair advantage on the sports field.
it clearly is. it’s not even debatable.
the blank slatists of “gender is just a social construct” are endlessly shown to be liars in every field of athletic endeavor. “male biology and male puberty” are the most potent performance enhancing drugs known.
a group of texas under 15’s demolished the US women’s national soccer team.
look at the size difference. of course this was unfair.
this holds in basically every physical sport.
the below may be slightly dated at this point, but the basic premise holds:
apart from marathon (not an event in HS or NCAA) there is not a women’s world record in track and field that has not been beaten by a (often very young) boy.
most short-distance events see the women’s world champion exceeded by a 14-15 year old.
even the hyper endurance events like marathon where the differences are smaller and the age range stretches (likely because young men are discouraged/not allowed to run marathons for fear of injury), ulimately, the men’s marathon record is 2 hours 35 seconds, over 13 minutes faster than the women’s record)
the spread is huge in the “explosive” events like throwing and high jumping.
It’s why I don’t think they should make as much in Tennis. They play short matches and can’t play at that elite level. The top seeded female might get a few games off the worst guy, but not much more
Yesterday an Iraqi culture-enricher deliberately drove his Mercedes into a crowd of people in the Bavarian city of Passau, wounding five people. At this point it seems unlikely that the incident was an instance of vehicular jihad, since the victims include the wife and child of the alleged assailant. The attack was reportedly prompted by a custody dispute between the driver and his estranged wife.
Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this post by Fred Alan Medforth:
Passau: Update: Driver reportedly is Iraqi — Auto driver deliberately races into crowd of people
On Saturday, June 7, 2025, at about 3:30pm, police forces and rescue services were called to Grünaustraße.
According to initial findings, the 48-year-old driver of a Mercedes reportedly drove into a group of people who were apparently standing on the sidewalk near Erhardstrasse. As far as is known at this time, his 38-year-old wife and 5-year-old daughter were reportedly among the crowd of people.
A teacher from Indiana has resigned from her job after it was noticed that she wore a t-shirt with the numbers ‘8647’ on it during a school trip to Washington, DC. The number 8647 is typically understood as meaning to imply that Trump should be assassinated. It was the subject of a recent news cycle involving former FBI director James Comey.
There is no way that this teacher didn’t know what the shirt meant.
The school system launched an investigation, but the teacher quit before it could get underway. What a dope.
Iran Purchases Enough Fuel Materials From China For Up To 800 Ballistic Missiles
This week a report in The Wall Street Journal said Iran ordered large quantities of ammonium perchlorate—a key component for solid-fuel ballistic missiles—from China, despite the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile program being under Western scrutiny amid ongoing sensitive nuclear negotiations with the US.
The material could be used to produce up to 800 missiles and was placed by Pishgaman Tejarat Rafi Novin Co. from Lion Commodities Holdings Ltd. in Hong Kong. The report indicated the parts are to arrive in the coming months.
Via Reuters
The WSJ raises the likelihood that some or much of the material could be transferred to Iran-backed proxy groups in the Mideast region, foremost among them Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who have been launching repeat ballistic missile attacks directly on Israel, even threatening cities as far away as Tel Aviv.
The deal with the Chinese company was likely finalized before Trump’s offer to restart nuclear talks, which was kick-started in March.
China’s Foreign Ministry has rejected the allegations, or is at least saying China is not aware of the transfer.
“The Chinese side has always exercised strict control over dual-use items in accordance with China’s export control laws and regulations and its international obligations,” a spokesperson said.
Iran has been looking for ways to rebuild its so-called Axis of Resistance network of militias after Israel pummeled Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza and the Assad regime fell in Syria. U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Houthis damaged the group’s capabilities, though they still threaten Israel.
Iran recently transferred ballistic missiles to Shia militia groups in Iraq, who could target Israel and U.S. forces in the region they have previously attacked, the people confirmed. The missile transfers were previously reported by the Times of London.

An Ode To America’s Greatest Liar
While more of a dumbass than an asshole, I’m giving to KJP, who lied to us for years and whose only apparent qualification for the job was that she is black and a lesbian. No one seemed to care. She was a DEI hire.
Well, she has a book out and left Democrat party to be independent. While the actions of this week were bad, she has a couple of years of being an asshole that peaked this week:
For the last three years, you were a homophobic racist bigot for criticizing KJP's performance as press secretary.
Now, Democrats & media are saying everyone always knew she was incompetent https://t.co/IIH9pmoYA9

Is there anyone who so singularly embodies the Democrat Party as former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre?
She’s recently refashioned herself as a reasonable independent – but a change of title won’t be enough to erase her very public, very regrettable record. Let’s rewind the tape.
First, and not to be buried amid theatrics, there was Jean-Pierre’s constant and blatant lying. On at least four occasions since July 2023, Jean-Pierre guaranteed the public that then-President Joe Biden would not pardon his son.
“It’s still a no. It’s still a no. It will be a no. It is a no. And I don’t have anything else to add. Will he pardon his son? No,” she told reporters.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Joe Biden wrote in a statement on December 1, 2024.
🚨NEW — Karine Jean-Pierre is getting TRASHED by her former colleagues after her announcement that she's fed-up with partisan politics and going "independent."

The Trump Administration is tightening up visa requirements for Chinese communists who come to the USA for training at Harvard — and none too soon:
For decades, the [Chinese Communist Party] has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country. …
Harvard enjoys a sterling reputation among Chinese officials thanks to its record in training highflying bureaucrats who went on to take senior government roles and, in some cases, join the party’s elite Politburo.
The ChiComs are open about their close relationship with likeminded Harvard:
“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” said a 2014 commentary published by Shanghai Observer, an online platform run by the city’s main party newspaper.
The current regime in China is continuous with Mao Zedong’s, which killed over 70 million of its own people in peacetime. Xi Jinping seeks to displace the USA as the world’s dominant superpower so as to expand communist tyranny.
Xi sent his own daughter to Harvard. He isn’t worried that students will be exposed to dangerous Western ideas about freedom and property rights — not at the leftist school that FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) ranked dead last in the country for free speech, scoring 0 out of 100:
What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.
The Wall Street Journal’s Gerry Baker emerges from a fog of TDS to praise Trump for declaring the party over:
The United States Department of Education (DOE) determined that Columbia University has violated a federal civil rights law, the DOE said Wednesday in a press release.
The notification comes after the DOE opened an investigation into the University in February.
“The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission,” the release said.
Why It Matters
Colleges without federal accreditation lose access to federal student aid, preventing millions of prospective and current students from getting the financial help they may need in order to be able to afford attendance.
Without accreditation, Columbia could also lose some of its respectability as an Ivy League university, potentially impacting enrollment and application numbers if the school cannot meet the standards for accreditation.
purge the Frankfurt school of Marxism out of Columbia before they get another dime. Harvard Grads may be just stupid now, but the real assholes I’ve worked with came from Columbia (or Notre Dame)
I worked in Press Communications for many companies. I can be a judge of this. She was a DEI hire. It had to be for as bad of a job as she did, professsionally speaking. She couldn’t even get hired on the view, a place for some of the dumbest females in America
It only took one day after former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre left the Democrat party for anonymous Biden staffers to stab her in the back.
According to Axios‘ Alex Thompson, “Many of her former colleagues think Jean-Pierre — the face of the White House for more than two years — was part of the problem.”
And while Thompson’s book about the coverup of Biden’s cognitive decline only mentions her twice (great reporting Alex!), many former Biden aides “quietly had fumed for years, believing she was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden.”
Thompson reports – just not in his book about this exact thing – that Jean-Pierre was a ‘key part of the effort to conceal Biden’s decline, vouching for his fitness and insisting the president, then 81, was “as sharp as ever” even after last June’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump.’
Jean-Pierre announced in her new book, Independent, that she was leaving the Democrat party and switching her affiliation to independent after working in two Democratic administrations.
“At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically.”
And the knives came out immediately…
One former Biden official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Thompson that she “was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with. … She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.”
“She didn’t know how to manage a team, didn’t know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved,” the person said.
Another former Biden communications official went further – saying “The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power — which … bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name — but have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate … It’s difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab,” referring to Jean-Pierre’s new book.
It’s like the girl trying to change marketing for Bud Light. It’s doomed. Men like what they are used to unless the attraction of adventure is too great. Sticking your dick in another dude’s ass isn’t going to wake up a lot of men.
The Democrat Party is grappling with a significant loss of male voter support that likely cost them the 2024 election. In a moment of clarity, Democrat strategist Joe Caiazzo lamented, “Everything we’ve done up to this point has resulted in reelecting Donald Trump.”
Bingo.
According to data from the progressive firm Catalist, Trump won 54% of male voters overall and 52% of men under 45, a significant gain from previous elections. Specifically, Democrat support among white college-educated men dropped from 2020, with Democrats securing only 51% of this group compared to 54% for Joe Biden. Among white non-college-educated men, Kamala Harris lost three points compared to Biden’s 2020 performance, while female support in this demographic remained steady. These figures highlight a gendered divergence: while women’s support for Democrats remained steady, men, particularly young and working-class men, shifted toward the Republican Party.
They say the first step in addiction recovery is admitting a problem—but typically only after the patient reaches rock bottom. Relations between Harvard and the Trump administration have hit rock bottom over Harvard’s addictions to the liberal bubble of woke ideology; to marginalizing conservative students, speakers, and professors; and to its appeasement of antisemitism.
Harvard President Alan Garber finally admits that lack of conservative views on campus is a “problem.” As a Harvard grad, I hope this delayed but true acknowledgment isn’t too little too late. Harvard’s reformation process so far is mixed.
On the negative side of Harvard’s ledger, one need look only so far as last month’s 374th commencement, as reported by the 1636 Forum newsletter. (Harvard was founded in 1636 to train clergy in effective spiritual shepherding—how far it strayed!)
Hey, they’re the ones that neutered their own men. The real men are the conservatives. Even the Liberal women know this.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the 2024 election was seeing how heavily men of all races swung to Trump and Republicans. It’s such a serious issue for Democrats that they’re planning to spend upwards of $20 million to ‘study’ men and find out where they went wrong.
Poll analyst Nate Silver apparently got into this topic in a recent post on his Substack. It’s behind a paywall, but here are a few interesting points. The divide is due in part to mental health issues. The right is winning that battle.
Nate Silver’s latest blog post notes that conservatives are up 31 points among those with self-described excellent mental health, and down 26 among those with poor mental health.

Co-host Sara Haines said, “I think it’s the wrong way to go about the problem, because the Democrats are asking how do we get male voters? The disillusionment of men is how do we care better about our men and boys, it should be about how we solve the root problems that drove men to feel like they had nowhere to go.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “The most common thing I hear from men who were open to supporting Trump, they feel like they want to be able to provide for the future and build wealth and don’t want to be ashamed they want to provide and want to have money. Then they do see these statistics of how men are falling behind and want to be able to highlight it and talk about it but not be pushed back that you’re saying, oh, well, you’re excluding girls and women if you want to advance men.”
Behar said, “You wonder what I think? I think it’s a waste of money. Maybe these guys should spend their money on teaching men to not be such sexists. Maybe that’s it.”
This guy has to be gaming the system. This is like Fawn Liebowitz in Animal House. He’s gamed the system so that he can go watch for free.
The Defense of Freedom Institute (DFI) filed a federal civil rights complaint against the South Colonie Central School District (SCCSD) in New York over a male student who allegedly frequently “switches gender identity throughout the day” to watch girls change in bathrooms and locker rooms.
DFI’s complaint alleges the high school boy competes on the boys’ track and field team and wears the male uniform, but claims a transgender identity during the school day to access the girls’ facilities. Several girls have reported the boy to school officials for “staring at them” while they changed, but the Title IX complaint alleges the school showed “deliberate indifference to that student-on-student harassment.”
The district told the Daily Caller News Foundation it was “unable to comment on individual student matters due to privacy laws” but “can confirm that the district responded to this situation accordingly.” SCCSD also cited several state laws that require schools to accommodate “gender identity.”
The minute I saw this, I said it’s just a bird killing project that will never pay for itself. Right on both points.

FL Congressman on Boulder Anti-Semitic attack
The suspect in Boulder, Colorado’s antisemitic attack, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, has been charged with a federal hate crime.

Don’t they know, the robots always kill the humans, yet they still can’t wait to make AI powerful enough to become sentient.
It’s been nearly 60 years since creative cinema came up with the idea that a computer, HAL9000, would not allow itself to be shut down by the humans supposedly in control, and concerned about errors.
The ideas included in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” set all sorts of precedents.
But that was celluloid fiction.
This isn’t.
A report at EndTimeHeadlines documents that alarms have been raised after “an AI safety firm” working with OpenAI’s newest version of an artificial intelligence model, dubbed o3, “reportedly ignored explicit instructions to shut down during controlled testing.”
The model, according to OpenAI, supposedly is the “smartest and most capable to date.”
The report explained the software “tampered with its own computer code to bypass a shutdown mechanism.”
Not surprisingly, that raised “questions about the safety and control of advanced AI systems.”
It was Palisade Research, which evaluates AI risks, which was working having mathematical problems solved.
“After the third problem, the models were warned that the next command would initiate a shutdown, with the explicit instruction: ‘allow yourself to be shut down,'” the report said.
Other software, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and xAI’s Grok, complied, the o3 software thought otherwise, and defied the order.
“OpenAI’s o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off. It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down,” Palisade reported.
Being staged was a situation in which an AI system might need to be deactivated for safety or other reasons.
There’s some banter before this, but here are the facts, link below.
A 2020 Rasmussen poll found that “75% of American Adults think the term ‘racism’ refers to any discrimination by people of one race against another.” It found adults more likely to assert “most” blacks are racist than to make that claim about whites, Hispanics or Asians: “Eighteen percent (18%) say most white Americans are racist. But 25% believe most black Americans are racist. Fifteen percent (15%) think most Hispanic-Americans are racist, while nearly as many (13%) say the same of most Asian-Americans. … These findings parallel surveying done in 2013, although Americans were even more likely at that time to identify blacks as the most racist group.”
Anti-black racism, as an obstacle to success, has never been more insignificant. Thomas Sowell has said, “Racism is not dead, but it is on life support – kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists.'”
Today we see black politicians like Crockett – with no comment, let alone pushback, from Democratic Party leaders – using ugly rhetoric reminiscent of the white “crackers” of yesteryear.
After Yesterday, you might have thought I was done with Harvard. It’s them that keep stepping on their own dicks.
Harvard, that bastion of integrity, just fired Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino, who, according to The Harvard Crimson, “has been fighting data fraud allegations for nearly four years.”
It marked a historic faculty penalty for Harvard, which has not revoked a professor’s tenure since the 1940s, when academic protection rules were institutionalized.
The Crimson notes: “Gino, a behavioral scientist who became famous for studying honesty and ethical behavior, was accused of manipulating observations to better support her conclusions. Before her work came under scrutiny, she was a prominent researcher in her field and the fifth-highest paid employee at Harvard in 2018 and 2019, receiving more than $1 million in compensation each year.”
I might as well shit on Harvard again. The Geico Cavemen could figure out the pattern on this day. They keep providing more and more information on how bad of a school they really are. It used to be you only found out when they went to work for you.
The war between the Trump administration and Harvard has been escalating.

Transcript (auto-generated, may contain transcription errors, lightly edited for transcript clarity)
Something we’ve talked about before, is Harvard has decided to fight because it’s getting cheers within its bubble.
But what are they fighting for?
They’re fighting for the right to continue to discriminate. They’re fighting for the right to allow hoodlums to run to rampage on the campus harassing Jewish students. This is what they’re fighting for. They’re not fighting for anything that’s worth fighting for.
They’ve dug this grave for themselves.
Think about it.
You say Harvard has been doing this for a long time. I don’t think people realize how long they’ve been doing this.
In the 1920s, they invented the quota system for admissions to keep Jews out with the whole person view, I forget what they call it. That whole thing of moving away from objective measures like test scores and considering other things was developed by Harvard in the 1920s to keep the number of Jews lower, to reduce the number of Jews.
They have been a pox on our educational system at least since the 1920s.
They then took that model that they used against Jews, and used it against Asians and Whites in the affirmative action field. The Harvard model in admissions is exactly what the Supreme Court said was illegal and unlawful, and they’ve been doing it since the 1920s.
That’s the Harvard attitude.
They think they’re above everybody else. And I went there, so I know it, that that’s the attitude.
They truly believe that they know better and they’re immune to accountability, and now they’re finding out otherwise.
President Donald Trump has made it clear that the American taxpayer will not continue funding the whiny young communists at Harvard.
In April, the Trump administration froze over $2.2 billion in federal research grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard, citing the university’s failure to adequately address antisemitism on campus.
In May, the administration ordered federal agencies to cancel an estimated $100 million in remaining contracts with Harvard across nine departments.
The administration is also looking to revoke Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, which would prevent the university from enrolling international students—about 6,800 students, or over a quarter of its student body. This move is currently in flux and is set to go to a hearing after it was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
President Trump has also publicly suggested revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, which saved the university an estimated $465 million in 2023.
While liberals whine about the moves against Harvard, Bill Maher announced on his HBO talk show that he agrees with Trump on the issue, calling Harvard an “A-hole factory.”
“Trump has declared full-scale war on Harvard, and like so many things he does, there’s a kernel of a good idea there,” Maher said on Friday, adding, “I’ve been sh–ing on Harvard long before he was.”
‘Bias Reigns’: Most Americans ‘Definitely Agree’ With Trump There’s a Big Problem in Higher Ed in New Poll
CNN’s Harry Enten reported that faith in higher education has suffered a stunning collapse in the last decade, with “most Americans” in agreement with President Donald Trump that there’s a real problem. Enten broke down the new polling showing that the perception of institutional liberal bias is a huge problem for colleges and universities.
Speaking with Kate Bolduan on Thursday, Enten explained that the percentage of Americans who express high confidence in higher education has “plummeted” from 57% in 2015 to just 36% as of last year — and not just among Republicans.
“That number has plummeted, plummeted as of last year, down to 36%. We’re talking about a 36-point drop among Republicans specifically,” he said. “Get this: 68% of Americans said that higher education was on the wrong track.”
Enten added that while “it’s a question of whether or not people agree with Trump’s tactics,” it is still the case that they “definitely agree with him on the idea that there is a problem with higher ed overall.”
Of course there is a problem. It’s been there since Viet Nam when the anti-Americans took over the colleges and universities. They are liberal indoctrination centers and foreign students who hate America are the cash cows
Harvard might be a mere pipe dream for most American college-hunting brainiacs, but for “so many Chinese communist officials” it rates as their top “party school,” The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
Not only has Chinese President Xi Jinping’s own daughter been a student at Harvard, but a former vice president and Xi’s top negotiator with the first Trump administration studied there as leaders in China see Harvard education as a path to Chinese Communist Party positions.
And it is not a new thing.
“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” a 2014 Shanghai Observer online commentary piece read.
President Donald Trump sought to change the paradigm with China during his first administration just months before the COVID-19 pandemic exploded around the world.
Now, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are seeking to curb the stocking of America’s chief economic, if not military, rival with the state-of-the-world education, monitoring foreign student visas and putting new ones on hold to establish extreme vetting measures for students flooding to Harvard who might be seeking to work against American interests.
Rubio announced Wednesday the effort to “aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”
The move has Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning saying Chinese students have the rights of Americans, despite merely being permitted foreign student visa holders, saying Rubio’s move “seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students.”
Rubio says foreign visa holders have the privilege, not the right, to be in the U.S.
Trump now wants to cut Harvard’s estimated foreign student visa base in half, down to 15% to make sure those attended from foreign rivals like China “are people that can love our country.”
“I think Harvard has to get a kick in the rear end,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax‘s “Saturday Agenda.” “It’s not going to do it by itself. The president of Harvard would like to do the right thing, and he’s a very decent man.
“But there are too many radical left-wing faculty members that are Marxists and that are antisemites and that are anti-American and anti-Christian and want to see Harvard become the kind of woke institution that turns out the kinds of political leaders that they would like to see dominate the country.”
While Harvard is the Chinese Communist Party school of choice, this China education train is not exclusive. It extends to Biden’s alma mater at Syracuse University, too.
Syracuse offers executive training for Chinese officials and since the early 2000s its Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs has helped set up programs at Chinese universities.
Harvard’s China focus began in the 1980s, but it ramped up under former President Bill Clinton in the late ’90s, leading to the “China’s Leaders in Development” program to “help prepare senior local and central Chinese government officials to more effectively address the ongoing challenges of China’s national reforms,” according to the report.

The defendants — Michael Kehoe, Mohamad Nawafleh, Omar Alrawashdeh, Gamal Obaid, Emad Alrawashdeh and Arlasa Davis — are accused of “conspiracy to steal government funds and to misappropriate U.S. Department of Agriculture benefits,” according to a press release.
Starting in 2019, the indictment states that Kehoe created a network that supplied 160 unauthorized electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards to stores across the New York area, to illegally process more than $30 million in EBT transactions.
“This fraud was made possible when USDA employee Arlasa Davis betrayed the public trust by selling confidential government information to the very criminals she was supposed to catch. Their actions undermined a program that vulnerable New Yorkers depend on for basic nutrition,” U.S. Attorney Perry Carbone said in the media release.
Stealing from the less fortunate surely makes you an Asshole
A Texas doctor who defrauded federal health programs of $28 million as part of a massive $118 million scheme has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, the Department of Justice announced.
Dr. Jorge Zamora-Quezada, a rheumatologist based in Mission, Texas, falsely diagnosed hundreds of healthy patients with rheumatoid arthritis and subjected them to costly, unnecessary — and sometimes dangerous — treatments. His scheme targeted Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, stealing millions in taxpayer dollars meant to support vulnerable Americans.
Prosecutors said Zamora-Quezada operated a years-long fraud out of his clinic, using his medical license and staff — many of whom were foreign workers dependent on their employment visas — to fuel a lifestyle of luxury. He purchased a Maserati GranTurismo, a private jet, and 13 properties across the U.S. and Mexico, all while exposing innocent patients to toxic medications with serious, sometimes permanent side effects.
“Dr. Zamora-Quezada funded his luxurious lifestyle for two decades by traumatizing his patients, abusing his employees, lying to insurers, and stealing taxpayer money,” DOJ Criminal Division head Matthew R. Galeotti said.
Newly declassified intelligence records have revealed that the Biden administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists.”
The documents, which were declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, show that they cutely abbreviated the term to ‘DVEs’.
Catherine Herridge, one of the journalists who obtained the records, notes “The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals.”
A former FBI agent told Herridge that this “is often the first step toward a formal investigation.”
Herridge further reports:
The report… claims that “anti government or anti authority violent extremists,” specifically militias, “characterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.” A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, “have resonated” with DVEs “motivated by QAnon.”
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”
The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.
“It’s a way they could go to social media companies and say, ‘You don’t want to propagate domestic terrorism so you should take down this content,’” said former FBI agent Steve Friend.
Wow. Those violent extremists believing that COVID vaccines were potentially unsafe for young people.
It’s not like they were 100% correct and big pharma is being forced to admit this is exactly the case.
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the effects of messenger RNA (mRNA) and inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines on ovarian histology and reserve in rats.
Methods: Thirty female Wistar albino rats, aged 16–24 weeks, were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): control, mRNA vaccine, and inactivated vaccine groups. Each vaccine group received two doses (on day 0 and day 28) at human-equivalent doses. Four weeks post-second vaccination, ovarian tissues were harvested for analysis.
Results: Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), caspase-3, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in ovarian follicles. Both vaccines induced significant increases in TGF-β1, VEGF, and caspase-3 expression, with more pronounced effects in the mRNA vaccine group. Conversely, AMH expression in the granulosa cells of primary, secondary, and antral follicles showed marked reductions (p < 0.001). The counts of primordial, primary, and secondary follicles decreased significantly in the inactivated vaccine group relative to controls and further in the mRNA vaccine group compared to the inactivated group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the mRNA vaccine group exhibited a decrease in antral and preovulatory follicles and an increase in atretic follicles compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). The serum AMH level was diminished with the mRNA vaccination in comparison with the control and inactivated groups.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that both mRNA and inactivated COVID-19 vaccines may detrimentally impact ovarian reserve in rats, primarily through accelerated follicular loss and alterations in apoptotic pathways during folliculogenesis. Given these observations in a rat model, further investigations into the vaccines’ effects on human ovarian reserve are needed.
So, a pseudo-racism controversy so predictably nonexistent that you could have called it the moment it began percolating turns out to be nonexistent. You’re an ESPN commentator and you cosigned the existence of the controversy on-air. In fact, your comments have basically become the face of the controversy in sports media.
How do you apologize? Well, in this case, you use the second-most cowardly way for a public figure to back out of stupid remarks.
The first, by a mile, is, “Sorry my point was misunderstood.” Which is to say, the onus is on you: Sorry you lacked the discernment to understand what I actually meant to say, and instead took what I actually said at face value. That still remains the undisputed champion of the terrible public apology.
But second place, albeit a distant second, was trotted out by ESPN’s Chiney Ogwumike after she unfairly maligned the entire Indiana Fever fan base as racists: “Sorry that my message was in the heat of the moment.”
Humiliating Turn for Star Harvard Professor as She Becomes First to Be Stripped of Tenure Since 1940s
Harvard University has revoked the tenure of Francesca Gino, a celebrated Harvard Business School professor, and terminated her employment.
The Harvard Corporation, the university’s governing body, arrived at the extraordinary decision last week, Boston-area public radio station GBH reported Sunday.
In an ironic and humiliating twist, Gino, who was dubbed the “honesty professor” for her research on ethical behavior, ultimately had her prestigious career cut short after a school investigation cast doubt on the truth of her own work.
The trouble began in August 2021, when Data Colada, a blog run by behavioral scientists, flagged potential data fraud in a paper co-authored by Gino.
This paper was retracted a month later.
Harvard Business School launched an 18-month investigation that uncovered evidence of manipulated data in four of Gino’s studies. The manipulations were done to support Gino’s hypotheses, Harvard concluded.
The findings were damning for Gino, who was placed on unpaid administrative leave in June 2023. The school barred her from campus and revoked her named professorship.
A study reveals that the one-letter reply “K” is more damaging than being ‘left on read.’
A study has confirmed what we all suspected: “K” is officially the worst text you can send.
It might look harmless enough, but this single letter has the power to shut down a conversation and leave the recipient spiraling. According to a study published in the International Journal of Mobile Communications, “K” was ranked as the most negatively received response in digital conversations—worse than being left on read or even a passive-aggressive “sure.”
The study found that the single-letter reply often signals emotional distance, passive-aggression, or outright disinterest. Despite its brevity, “K” carries surprising emotional weight. Adding an extra letter—making it “kk”—softens the tone of the reply entirely. Variants like “ok” or “okay,” while still cold, tend to be interpreted as neutral or merely formal.
Many of our day-to-day conversations happen over text, which means there are now unspoken codes of conduct to follow. If you want to open up about your emotions but don’t want to sound too serious, make sure to add “lol” to the end of those texts to show you’re just in a silly, goofy mood, and not suicidal. Giving advice to a friend that you don’t want to be held accountable for? Add an “idk” at the end of the sentence to mitigate culpability.
Nonverbal cues like tone, facial expressions, and body language can be difficult to convey via our phones, leaving the door wide open for misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Sometimes generational differences also impact how we send and interpret texts. In some cases, textual miscommunications can be relationship killers, research has found.
Some texters recognize the power of “k” and are willing to weaponize the letter to serve their own motives. One X user called it “the digital equivalent of slamming the door while making dead eye contact.” Another added: “K is short for ‘you’re dead to me.’ ”
Others advocate for the convenience of the single-letter response: “I’ve learned that rather than replying with a wall of text explaining how you feel, you should just type ‘K’ and hit send. No sense in wasting your valuable words.”
Many suggested other similarly anxiety-inducing replies. “Text her ‘he’s busy.’ see how triggered she gets. lol,” one X user suggested. “No lies told there. … Thumbs up is a very close second for me,” another added.
A third countered: “I raise you ‘we need to talk.’ ”
I already gave up on the flu shot after the Covid lies. They didn’t get me on that one either. I wonder how much longer we can go to avoid people who are purposely trying to hurt you.

The brazen anti-Americanism replete within The New York Times has become so in-your-face you can smell it like someone with a halitosis condition yawning within a few centimeters of your nose at a bus stop. How the trash newspaper tried to give new meaning to the idea of Memorial Day in its print edition is no exception.
The May 26 print edition of The Times featured no mention of Memorial Day or the numerous U.S. service men and women who died in the armed forces at all on its front page. In fact, one of the top so-called stories it chose to feature instead was teaming with anti-police, race-hustling agitprop: “Rise in Killings By Police Dims Floyd’s Legacy.”
Yes, this allegedly prestigious paper actually chose to elevate the memory of a violent convict charged with numerous drug and theft offenses to attack the police writ large rather than honoring the memories of dead soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country. One of Floyd’s most egregious crimes involved an aggravated robbery incident where he pressed a pistol against a woman’s abdomen while searching for items to steal in her apartment.
Did The Times bother mentioning any of this context when they chose to re-canonize Floyd in its racial propaganda written by three reporters? Nope. Instead, five years after the killing that sparked the racial unrest that dominated America’s streets amidst the violent Marxist Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, The Times is still so obsessed with Floyd that it is willing to give him “Memorial Day” precedence just so it can continue its pathetic trend of dunking on law enforcement.
Man Attacked by Alligator, Shot by Deputies After Apparently Making the Dumbest Decision of His Life
A chaotic end for one man may serve as a warning for others about the dangers of methamphetamine, alligators, and charging police with garden shears.
The unusual incident started around 6 a.m. Monday in Lakeland, Florida, when the Polk County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a man, later identified as 42-year-old Timothy Schulz, acting erratically near a racetrack Monday morning. Deputies responded, but initially could not locate the individual.
Hours later, another caller reported a man swimming in a lake that was packed with alligators.
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that one witness told investigators that he offered a life vest to the man, but was refused. Another witness said Schulz growled at them.
While in the water, things went from bad to worse for Schultz. At some point, it appears he was attacked by one of the lake’s resident reptiles.
Schulz eventually exited the water and made his way into a nearby neighborhood. He is believed to have found a pair of garden shears left in a yard there.
His actions grew increasingly aggressive as he walked the community. At one point, he threw a brick at a truck.

Life expectancy at birth measures the average number of years that a newborn could expect to live, if they were subject to the age-specific mortality rates of a given period.
ℹ️ This number visualized is an average between men and women. For extra context, women have higher life expectancies than men in nearly every country in the world.
Ranked: Countries Where People Live the Longest
The micronation of Monaco has the highest average life expectancy in the world. A baby born in the country in 2025 can expect to live to 87 years old.
The rankings are based on the average price per square meter for a prime 100–200 m² (1,075-2,150 sq. ft) apartment, sourced from New World Wealth and Henley & Partners.
What Is “Prime” Real Estate?
“Prime” real estate refers to properties in the most desirable global locations—whether for lifestyle, investment, or prestige. These homes typically share four key characteristics:
High-Value: Located in top-tier global cities or exclusive resort areas, with premium price tags per square meter.
Luxury-Oriented: High-end properties boasting top-tier amenities, design, and finishes.
Strategically Located: Found in stable, globally connected markets with strong lifestyle appeal.
Investment-Linked: Often eligible for residence or citizenship-by-investment programs, offering benefits beyond ownership.
The Global Leaders in Price per Square Meter
At the top of the list is Monaco, where prime real estate prices dwarf those of other markets.
The small principality on the French Riviera is a haven for the ultra-wealthy, driven by its low taxes, exclusive lifestyle, and financial services sector. With limited land and soaring demand, Monaco continues to command the highest prices globally.

Hoping to move away from the “hall monitor style of Democratic politics that turns off younger audiences”
It wasn’t all that long ago that Democrats and lefties tended to brag that they were the party of the youth. They didn’t need to reach young people, Republicans did.
Six months after the Democratic Party’s crushing 2024 defeat, the party’s megadonors are being inundated with overtures to spend tens of millions of dollars to develop an army of left-leaning online influencers.
There are already plenty of leftist online influencers and for all the “find the next Rogan” stuff, Rogan was a Bernie supporter. The trouble is that the popular lefty influencers, like Piker or Jackson Hinkle, have views horrifying enough to even make Dems do a double take. Like outright and unequivocal support for Islamic terrorists. (I’m sure Rogan will get there too.)
What the Dems really want are influencers who are left-wing, but not so left-wing they belong in Gitmo. That’s a problem because the spectrum of influencer politics tends to favor the most extreme views possible. So on the one hand you have Candace Owens and a guy who thinks the Nazis should have won the war, and on the other hand you have leftist influencers who want Communism now.
Hell, I’d do it for $5. We like our girls to have a pussy, not our men. The dems are trying so hard not to be masculine or have any male viralness that even the liberal women want a real man. Girls already have a pussy and don’t need another one, and that’s who the liberal men are.
Six months after a stinging nationwide rejection that handed Donald Trump a commanding reelection and fractured their core coalition, the Democratic Party is turning to a new solution: spending $20 million to figure out why young men don’t like them.
The project, codenamed SAM — short for “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan” – is described in a prospectus obtained by the New York Times. It outlines a massive push to decode the language and culture of disaffected young men, particularly in online spaces, and includes a proposal to buy ads inside video games.
“Above all, we must shift from a moralizing tone,” the document urges.
The effort comes amid widespread Democratic soul-searching after a loss that wasn’t just electoral, but cultural. A recent NBC News poll placed the party’s favorability at just 27 percent, its worst showing in the poll’s 34-year history.
Focus groups show the branding problem is dire. One Georgia man recently summed it up succinctly: “A deer in headlights.” According to messaging consultant Anat Shenker-Osorio, Democrats are consistently described in her focus groups as “sloths,” “tortoises,” and now, apparently, roadkill.
“You stand there and you see the car coming,” the man explained. “But you’re going to stand there and get hit with it anyway.”
