Pelosi Outs Herself As A January 6th Architect

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

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

Here’s what she said in her X post.

Nancy Pelosi:

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

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

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

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

He’s Either Going To Get His Ass Beat – Or Epstein’ed

You don’t mess around in prison like this whining. You get tough, mean, sharp and wary. Stay the hell out of everyone’s way and be like a piece of furniture, unnoticed. Once you get noticed, the shit starts.

The inmates making quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger’s time in prison a living hell knew he was coming to the high-security Idaho lockup and planned how they could carry out a campaign of harassment against him, according to a report.

Kohberger was transferred from jail to the only high-security prison in the state after he received four life sentences last month for the gruesome slayings of four University of Idaho students in 2022.

And the prisoners at Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna “were aware he was coming,” former homicide detective Chris McDonough told NewsNation Tuesday.

“The inmates were apparently waiting for him,” said McDonough, who now works for the Cold Case Foundation. “And when he got there, they are now making his life absolutely miserable.”

Pentagon Awards Contracts To 4 Artificial Intelligence Developers

Nothing could go wrong here. Maybe they can develop a Wopr from War Games.

The U.S. Department of Defense announced on July 14 that it has awarded contracts to four U.S.-based artificial intelligence (AI) developers to address national security challenges. (will they announce how much it’s going to run over budget?)

Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI will each receive a contracting award with a ceiling of $200 million, according to a statement shared by the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office.

The office said these four companies would help “develop agentic AI workflows across a variety of mission areas.”

“Agentic AI” refers to systems designed to operate with minimal human input.

Formed in 2021, the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office is responsible for speeding up the military’s adoption of AI systems.

OpenAI was the first of the four contract awardees to announce its contract with the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office.

In June, the company unveiled “OpenAI for Government” and said its first partnership under the new initiative would help the Pentagon office identify and prototype new AI tools for administrative operations.

Anthropic has developed the Claude family of AI chatbots.

In June, Anthropic announced the development of custom “Claude Gov” models intended for national security clients.

The company said agencies operating at the highest level of the U.S. national security sector are already using these AI models.

Formed by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk in 2023, xAI serves as a parent to X Corp., which operates the social media platform X. Among its services, xAI has developed the Grok AI chatbot.

On July 14, xAI announced “Grok for Government” and confirmed that the service holds contracts with the Department of Defense and the U.S. General Services Administration.

Google Public Sector Vice President Jim Kelly said in a July 14 blog post that the new AI announcement with the Department of Defense would build on a long-standing partnership between Google and the U.S. military.

Kelly said his company would give the military access to its Cloud Tensor Processing Units, which power Google’s current AI applications.

“These advanced AI solutions will enable the DoD to effectively address defense challenges and scale the adoption of agentic AI across enterprise systems to drive innovation and efficiency with agile, proven technology,” Kelly wrote.

Mini-Golf Russian Roulette

Talk about getting more than you bargained for …

When it comes to mini-golf, putt-putt, whatever you want to call it, it’s supposed to be nothing but pure fun. Hell, it’s great to do while on vacation, I’ve done it countless times. But for one California mother, a round ended up becoming a thoroughbred nightmare.

From Venice, Adela Magana and her family went to Golf N’ Stuff mini-golf course and amusement park to celebrate the 13th birthday of her son on Aug. 6. She was on a bench sitting down watching her kids play, and then BOOM, a palm tree reportedly fell down and crashed on her.

Along with two other individuals who were playing mini-golf that night, the father of the family, Amando, and his 22-year-old son, Junior, ran over to get the 40-foot tree off her. However, the damage was already done, and it was bad. Per the Ventura County Star, Adela’s right arm was lost following Ventura County Medical Center doctors amputating it right under the shoulder one day after the tree crushed it.

A Video Of A Government Murder On Jan 6

Look later, as I’m going post how Nancy Pelosi was behind a lot of January 6th. She’s a vicious piece of work. I couldn’t use the word woman because she’s too evil for even that.

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

I went right to fag also. Being liberal makes sense. A lot of them aren’t in the manly category in anything. The girlfriend angle is a good one though.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you care, there is a lot more here.

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

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

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

Kind Of Hard To Ignore That Politically

CNN ADMITS America Thinks Democrat Party Is ‘Total & Complete Garbage’

Democrats may have just realized that having “orange man bad” as their sole political message for the past 10 years was a really bad idea. In a surprisingly blunt segment on CNN News Central, the show’s hosts acknowledged what many Americans have long suspected: the Democratic Party was “a complete and utter mess” as they looked toward the 2028 presidential election. With no frontrunner, deep internal disarray, and record-low favorability ratings; you knew things were bad when even CNN sounded the alarm.

The analysis was sparked by former Vice President Kamala Harris’s return to the national stage to promote her book on her campaign for president in 2024. While co-anchor Kate Bolduan made sure to note that Harris had not ruled out a future presidential run, CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten wasted no time in downplaying her chances. “The chance that Kamala Harris is going to be the 2028 Democratic nominee. They don’t look too good right now, to be perfectly honest with you,” he asserted.

Finally, No one really eats it it looks like, as Lewis Hamilton just lost his ass on fake food.

Neat Burger, a restaurant chain co-founded by seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, has entered liquidation.

The business was launched six years ago with a plant-based menu, with the chain also backed by Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio.

A number of restaurants were opened in London, while doors were also opened in Milan and New York.

However, it has been struggling financially over the last handful of years, with reported losses from 2022 being in the £7.9 million range – up from £3.2 million from the year before.

In 2023, it announced half of its UK restaurants would close, before the New York facility shut its doors for the final time last summer.

In a further blow, the company cited financial and operational challenges behind its decision to close the remaining restaurants earlier this year.

It has now emerged that Neat Burger has appointed FRP Advisory as its liquidator on July 22.

Money Or Love? What Did Gen Z Pick?

The best looking girl I ever took to bed told me that her answer was Money. Her voice had a southern accent that would melt you if you got past her beauty.

Anyway, after that comment, I knew from that instant we would be nothing but bed buddies. What kills me is that I was broke at the time. All I had to offer was a good time, no frills. A girl like that could get anyone, but gave me a few months of her life. She got her millionaire eventually (and got rid of him). I got free from a lot of future head and heartaches.

Now this…….

Nearly Half of Gen Z Say They Would Choose Financial Stability Over Love

In a heartbreaking sign of just how badly the Biden-Harris economic disaster has affected America’s youth, a shocking new survey revealed that nearly half of Gen Z, 46 percent, would abandon all hope of romance for money.

Matchmaking company Tawkify surveyed 1,000 Americans to “explore how daters today weigh love, money, and emotional baggage,” and the results were disheartening.

The pollsters found:

Millennials are likeliest to choose love over money: 59% would prioritize a “broke and magical” relationship over financial security compared to 54% of Gen Z, 48% of baby boomers, and 46% of Gen X.

Gen X is the most financially pragmatic, with 52% choosing security over romance.

Women are likelier than men to choose love over money: 58% of women would prioritize a “broke and magical” relationship over financial security, compared to only 51% of men.

Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (69%) have stayed in a relationship longer than they should have due to shared finances; 44% of these situations were temporary, and 25% were long-term.

Not only would Gen Z give up love for cash, the pollsters found that 29 percent would consider “reuniting with an ex-partner if that person became wealthy.”

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

SHARE

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

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

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

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

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

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

These Are America’s 25 Largest Private Landowners

The U.S. is known for its massive public national parks, but a handful of families and entrepreneurs also own tracts of land that would dwarf some states.

This infographic, via Visual Capitalist’s Niccolo Conte, ranks America’s 25 largest private landowners in 2025 and shows just how concentrated ownership has become.

The data for this visualization comes from The Land Report, which annually tracks the nation’s biggest deed holders. Its 2025 investigations reveals a timber-heavy top tier, diversified ranching empires in the middle, and a sprinkling of tech titans and investors rounding out the list.

Timber Kings Still Rule the Landowner List

Red Emmerson and his family control 2.44 million acres across California, Oregon, and Washington, making them America’s largest private landowners in 2025.

For reference, this is more than 3x Rhode Island’s land area.

Three of the top five landowners—Emmerson, Malone, and the Reed family—built (or expanded) their holdings in commercial forestry.

Timber acres offer steady cash flow, long-term capital appreciation, and valuable carbon-offset potential, which helps explain why Wall Street has shown renewed interest in forests.

These vast, contiguous tracts also give owners leverage in biodiversity markets and provide a hedge against inflation, making timberland an attractive multigenerational asset.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Most Say ‘No’ to COVID Vaccine

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

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

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

Baby Born from 30-Year-Old Frozen Embryo Shocks World

It shoots down the abortionist (liberal) argument that a pre-born baby is just a bunch of cells. It proves life begins at conception, or this couldn’t be true.

Via Freepik

On July 26, 2025, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born in Ohio from an embryo frozen for over 30 years, marking a record for the longest-frozen embryo leading to a live birth, as reported by MIT Technology Review.

Lindsey and Tim Pierce adopted the embryo through Nightlight Christian Adoptions’ Snowflakes program. The embryo, created in 1994, originated from biological mother Linda Archerd via IVF.

In the early 1990s, Archerd and her then-husband faced infertility for six years before turning to IVF, a then-emerging technology, according to the BBC.

They produced four embryos, with one implanted to become Archerd’s now-30-year-old daughter, who has a 10-year-old child. The remaining three were cryopreserved, with Archerd paying annual storage fees of about $1,000.

After her marriage ended and she reached menopause, Archerd, now 62, chose not to discard the embryos or donate them for research.

As a Christian, she opted for embryo adoption to have input on the adoptive parents. She specified preferences for a married, Caucasian, Christian couple in the US.

Lindsey Pierce, 35, and Tim Pierce, 34, had tried for seven years to conceive before exploring embryo adoption. They registered with the Snowflakes program, open to various embryo criteria.

America’s Economic Engines: The Biggest Industry In Every State

Ever wondered what fuels each state’s economy? In most cases, the biggest industry is either real estate or manufacturing.

This Markets in a Minute graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Jenna Ross, in partnership with Terzo, highlights the industry contributing the most to GDP in every state.

The Biggest Industry Ranking

Real estate powers the economy in over half of states. This is largely because the Bureau of Economic Analysis treats homeowners as landlords renting to themselves, and includes the rental value in GDP. If economists did not include this value, a jump in the homeownership rate would cause GDP to drop. 

On top of this, the real estate industry includes rent paid by renters, property taxes, construction, remodeling, and brokers’ fees.

Source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Data for the 2024 calendar year. Some industry names have been shortened including real estate and rental and leasing; mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; federal civilian and state and local government; and professional, scientific, and technical services.

In second place, manufacturing is the biggest industry in 13 states. Its prominence is heavily concentrated in the Midwest and the South thanks to the long history of the sector in some states, large plots of available land, and government support.

Rare Economic Leaders

Outside of real estate and manufacturing, some industries are the top GDP driver in a much smaller number of states.

For instance, finance and insurance is the biggest industry in New York, Delaware, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Over half of publicly-traded U.S. companies incorporate in Delaware thanks to balanced and flexible corporate laws, a business-friendly environment, and a respected legal community. In South Dakota, financial services are drawn to the state’s business-friendly taxes and trust laws that can shield families from inheritance taxes indefinitely. 

Mining and oil and gas creates the biggest economic output in three states. North Dakota is the third-largest crude oil producer in the country, while Wyoming and West Virginia are America’s top two coal producers.

The government is the biggest GDP driver in D.C. and Oklahoma. Lastly, professional and technical services (Massachusetts), information (Washington), and transportation and warehousing (Alaska) were the top industry in one state each.

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

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

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

He was a traitor in plain sight.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Murphy’s Technology Laws

Here is another version of the Murphy’s Laws from yesterday.

I don’t really know if they are from Murphy, but you get the point.

  • Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
  • Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition.
  • Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand.
  • If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.
  • The opulence of the front office decor varies inversely with the fundamental solvency of the firm.
  • The attention span of a computer is only as long as it electrical cord.
  • An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
  • Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he’ll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he’ll have to touch to be sure. great discoveries are made by mistake.
  • Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
  • Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.
  • All’s well that ends.
  • A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.
  • The first myth of management is that it exists.
  • A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection.

Beijing Pays Influencers In Africa To Spread Anti-US Messaging

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MAHA Update – US cancels mRNA vaccine contracts worth $500 million

Good, get that poison out of the system. It’s a death jab unless they learn to understand DNA. The last administration used it as a weapon instead of a cure. We’re not ready yet for this to be productized. Look at the excess deaths and turbo cancers because of the Covid jab

The US government has decided to halt the funding of 22 projects focused on the development and manufacturing of mRNA-based vaccines that help fight respiratory diseases like COVID-19 and the flu.

The decision, announced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stemmed from his personal and unproven theories about the efficacy of vaccines and marks the latest attempt in a string of efforts that weave vaccine distrust into US health policy.

What did Kennedy say about the vaccines?

“We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” Kennedy said in a statement.

The health department’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is “terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu,” he added.

In total, the halted projects are worth “nearly $500 million,” the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said.

Mind Control Now, From The People Who Brought You Covid-19, How Could Anything Go Wrong?

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has an initiative called the Theory of Mind program. This effort is designed to give national security decision-makers the ability to model, simulate, and ultimately anticipate the intentions and behaviors of adversaries using a combination of advanced algorithms and human expertise.

At its core, the program aims to:

  • Build algorithmic models that “decompose” adversary strategies into elemental behaviors.
  • Use massive data—signals intelligence, open-source information, even social media—to create high-fidelity “avatars” of enemy decision-makers.
  • Simulate possible responses to a range of U.S. and allied actions, exploring which ones best deter, incentivize, or nudge adversaries toward preferred outcomes.
  • Integrate insights from psychological profiling and machine learning to continually update these models as real-world conditions shift.

The promise is profound: a system that doesn’t just predict what an adversary might do, but actively guides policymakers toward courses of action that shape the adversary’s decision calculus—minimizing escalation and maximizing U.S. strategic advantage.

DARPA’s Theory of Mind program fundamentally changes how conflicts are managed. Decision-makers can run gaming scenarios at unprecedented detail and speed, customizing incentives or deterrents tailored to both cultural and individual psychologies. Risks of unintended escalation might be sharply reduced, while opportunities to “push the line” without crossing it become clearer.

Theory of Mind Warfare Turned on the American Public in 2020

The same tools originally designed for military use were later deployed against the American (and global) public in 2020

AI-powered behavioral analytics, inspired by military-grade “theory of mind” models, were strategically employed during the COVID-19 pandemic to not just inform but actively shape public perception, sentiment, and compliance—creating a continuous feedback loop between government actions and public psychology. These systems quietly moved the world’s response from reactive to adaptive, fundamentally influencing how populations experienced and responded to the scamdemic.

How These Systems Shaped Public Minds

1. Real-Time Sentiment Analysis and Information Targeting AI-powered platforms actively monitored social media, news, and digital conversations to track shifts in public mood, anxieties, and resistance to emerging health policies. These tools analyzed tone, emotional context, and response patterns following government announcements, often providing immediate feedback to policymakers on how their messaging was being received.

2. Tailored Messaging and Adaptive Communication Insights from these platforms allowed authorities to:

  • Refine government communication strategies
  • Push “approved” narratives to counter “misinformation”
  • Adjust messaging in real time to allay public fears, address misconceptions, or reinforce confidence in health measures such as lockdowns or vaccines

Remember this…

3. Behavioral Nudges and Targeted Interventions. Governments, aided by behavioral insights teams and AI analysts, designed “nudge” interventions—such as targeted text reminders, default scheduling of vaccine appointments, and personalized risk feedback—to increase uptake of desired behaviors. Rapid A/B testing determined which messages or policy tweaks worked best for specific populations.

4. Feedback Loops for Policy Calibration. Behavioral and sentiment data were continuously fed back into policy decision-making. If public adherence waned or opposition spiked (visible through sentiment tracking), messaging and interventions could be swiftly recalibrated to regain support or mitigate disinformation spikes.

5. Data-Driven Misinformation Management. AI-driven platforms scanned for and flagged viral misinformation. Rapid response teams could then deploy counter-messaging or media campaigns—often through the same platforms—using knowledge of which narratives resonated with hesitant demographics.

A Complete List of Murphy’s Laws

Note: This was first printed in 2019 but I keep getting requests for it, so here you go.

  • If anything can go wrong it will at the most inopportune time.
  • The greater the value of the rug, the greater the probability that the cat will throw up on it.
  • If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong (or the one to go wrong first).
  • The other line always moves faster.
  • The chance of the buttered side of the bread falling face down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.
  • In any hierarchy, each individual rises to his own level of incompetence, and then remains there. (Also known as the “Peter Principle”)
  • Anything dropped in the bathroom will fall in the toilet.
  • After you bought a replacement for something you’ve lost and searched for everywhere, you’ll find the original.
  • The best golf shots happen when you are alone (and the worst when playing with someone you want to impress).
  • Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
  • Traffic is inversely proportional to how late you are, or are going to be.
  • A falling object will always land where it can do the most damage.
  • The probability of being observed is directly proportional to the stupidity of one’s actions.
  • You will always find something in the last place you look.
  • Whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

Of course you can go to the Murphy’s Law site and see all of this there.

    • Example 1: The alleged conspiracy to “fake” the Apollo moon landing.
      Such an undertaking would be so likely to result in multiple glitches that it would be nearly impossible to pull off. Thus, conspiracy is an unlikely explanation of events. Accordingly, the “evidence” of the “faked” landing is more likely a result of the errors of those interpreting the evidence than of the evil design of the alleged conspirators.
    • Example 2: The Warren Report.
      Any open questions in the Warren Report are more likely the result of the errors of the Warren commission, or the errors of those interpreting the Warren Report, than the result of a conspiracy to cover up the true facts.

Key Takeaways

  • Luxembourg’s immense GDP per capita ($141K) masks the fact that much of it is generated by non-residents who commute in to work.
  • Qatar’s oil windfall lifts GDP per capita ($72K) but that hasn’t translated into broader wealth.
  • English-speaking countries translate middling GDP per capita into high median wealth through property ownership and strong pension systems.
  • Generating national wealth and distributing it to people are distinctly different economic challenges.

Previously, when we’ve covered 25 richest countries, we did so by GDP per capita alone. As a result, tiny states and global city-states tended to dominate the top of the rankings.

Introducing per capita income and median wealth per adult paints a more nuanced picture. It shows that where money is produced is not always where it ultimately accumulates.

The data for this visualization comes from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the UBS Global Wealth Report 2024.

It compares each country’s 2025 GDP per capita, 2024 GNI per capita, and median adult wealth in 2024 to reveal three very different “rich lists.”

A Harris County constable deputy is facing scrutiny after a TikTok post went viral suggesting she planned to issue tickets indiscriminately because of a lack of intimacy in her personal life, as reported by The New York Post.

The post, made by Harris County Precinct 5 Deputy Jennifer Escalera, has sparked public backlash and prompted an internal affairs investigation.

The video, which has since been deleted, showed Deputy Escalera in uniform writing on a notepad.

The caption over the clip read, “Didn’t get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket,” suggesting that her ticketing decisions might be influenced by her personal frustrations. Although parts of her uniform were blurred, Escalera’s name tag remained visible in the footage.

Another MF That Should Burn In Hell For How He Treats Animals

An ex-running back in the NFL was convicted on six felony counts for leading a massive dog-fighting trafficking operation after a trial that lasted days in Oklahoma.

The conviction of 54-year-old Leshon Johnson was announced by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Public Affairs. Johnson was convicted for being in violation of the federal government’s Animal Welfare Act that prohibits possessing, selling, transporting, and delivering animals with the intention to fight them.

It was announced that Johnson, a five-year veteran in the National Football League who played for three franchises, gave up to the feds the “190 dogs seized in this case.”

“This criminal profited off of the misery of innocent animals and he will face severe consequences for his vile crimes,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi in an official statement. “This case underscores the Department of Justice’s commitment to protecting animals from abuse — 190 dogs are now safe thanks to outstanding collaborative work by our attorneys and law enforcement components.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cincy Mayor – I’ve Got Better Things To Do Than Worry About A Couple Of White People Getting Beat Senseless

Mayor of Cincinnati Aftab Pureval has more important things to do than worry about a pair of Caucasians viciously beaten by a black mob — like restricting our right to bear arms so that we cannot defend ourselves. That’s why he couldn’t be bothered to reach out to the victims:

Terri Clark Lyrics

“Better Things To Do”

Don’t tell me the reason that you’re calling
Is to see if I’m all right since you’ve been gone
‘Cause I know you and I know why we’re talking
You’re wanting me to say I’m barely hanging on
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two
But now, I got better things to do

[Chorus:]
I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don’t need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do

Maybe when I don’t have so much going
Or quite so many irons in the fire
I’ll take the time to miss you like you’re hoping
But now, I can’t put forth the effort it requires
Well, I’d love to talk to you, but then, I’d miss Donahue
That’s right, I got better things to do

[Repeat Chorus]

Check the air in my tires
Straighten my stereo wires
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
I don’t need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
I got better things to do

Tired Of Your Pet, Feed Him To The Lions In Denmark

Seriously, what is in the water over there? Maybe this is what is rotten in Denmark.

There is no way I’m sending my pet to get euthanized and eaten. I’m not a savage. Maybe they couldn’t hold back that Viking gene and had to kill something to feed it to the predators. Anyway, there is no way this was going to turn out good the minute some pissed off girl sends her ex’s pet to the zoo for lunch.

A zoo in Denmark is asking for donations of small pets as food for its predators.

The Aalborg zoo said it is trying to mimic the natural food chain of the animals housed there “for the sake of both animal welfare and professional integrity” and offers assurances the pets will be “gently euthanized” by trained staff.

The zoo in northern Denmark explained in a Facebook post that “if you have a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us.”

The zoo points to guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens as possible donations. After being euthanized, the animals will be used as fodder, the zoo said.

“That way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well-being of our predators,” the zoo said.

The online call for pet donations is accompanied by a picture of a wildcat baring its teeth with its mouth wide open and a link to the zoo’s website, noting the facility also is interested in receiving horses.

Bombshell New Documents Show the Oval Office Plotted with Intelligence to Delegitimize Trump and Mislead the Nation

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has detonated the Russia‑gate narrative with the release of a long‑buried December 8, 2016 Presidential Daily Brief—now unredacted—showing that, months after the FBI’s July 31, 2016 Crossfire Hurricane counter‑intelligence probe began, senior analysts concluded “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber‑attacks” on America’s decentralized voting system. Translation: by the time the “Russian Collusion” hoax was in full swing, the Intelligence Community had already judged that Russia couldn’t flip a single state, yet the Obama White House pressed forward, green‑lighting the very narrative it knew to be false.

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

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

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

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

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

They Buried The Truth To Destroy Trump

excerpt:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why Create These Virus Strains – Japan Creates Frankenstein Bird Flu Virus With New Immunological Traits

According to a new study published last week in NPJ Vaccines, Japanese researchers engineered an entirely new strain of bird flu, combining the genetic material of two separate wild viruses to create what they call Vac-3: a pathogen that is “a reassortant virus between A/duck/Hokkaido/101/2004 (H5N3) and A/duck/Hokkaido/262/2004 (H6N1).”

This lab-built virus—A/duck/Hokkaido/Vac-3/2007 (H5N1)—was never observed in nature.

It was artificially assembled, grown in eggs, concentrated, and inactivated with formalin to become the whole-particle vaccine used in long-term testing on nonhuman primates.

The new study comes after NIH-funded researchers at the University of Georgia, Mount Sinai, and Texas Biomed were caught engineering lab-made H5N1 bird flu viruses—one of which killed 100% of exposed mammals—using synthetic DNA constructs and then deliberately infecting live dairy cows, all under the same $59 million federal contract that has also been tied to mammal-adapted, drug-resistant strain development.

Japan is also working with U.S. scientists on other projects to build lab-made horse-human influenza hybrids that replicate 100 times faster than natural strains using aborted fetal cells engineered with the cancer-linked SV40 virus, also under the banner of vaccine development.

All of these developments raise fears that another man-made pandemic is on the horizon, as Congress, the White House, the Department of Energy, the FBI, and the CIA have acknowledged that a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is most likely the origin of COVID-19.

I’m Shocked – Liberal Women Are America’s Unhappiest, Study Finds

Progressive politics may promise empowerment, but for many liberal women, the result appears to be rising misery and isolation.

A growing body of data points to a clear trend: liberal women are statistically the most dissatisfied and mentally unwell demographic in the country, and experts say it may have more to do with worldview than circumstance.

According to a 2024 survey from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), just 12% of liberal women aged 18-40 report being “completely satisfied” with their lives.

In contrast, 37% of conservative women in the same age group report full satisfaction, a difference that speaks volumes.

The findings come from the 2024 American Family Survey, which also shows that liberal women are two to three times more likely to say they are “not satisfied” with their lives.

Marriage and faith, two traditional anchors of community and stability, may play a key role in the satisfaction divide.

56% of conservative women in the study are married, while only 37% of liberal women are.

Church attendance reflects a similar gap: 53% of conservative women attend religious services weekly, compared to just 12% of liberal women.

That detachment from relational and spiritual communities may be fueling widespread loneliness.

Nearly 30% of liberal women report frequent loneliness, while only 11% of conservatives say the same.

“These women are lacking key support systems that help weather life’s inevitable challenges,” said Brad Wilcox, a senior fellow at IFS.

“We’ve seen in the research that conservative women tend to be more likely to embrace a sense of agency and to have the sense that they are not, in any way, the victim of larger structural realities or forces.

“They’re also less likely to catastrophize about public events and concerns and more likely to think of themselves as captains of their own fate.”

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

John Brennan and Barack Obama

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A report from Fox News explains Candace Taylor, 35, from Slidell, is facing felony counts, accused by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office of fraudulently taking Medicaid benefits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

More WNBA F Ups – ‘Dumb As F*ck’: Sophie Cunningham Blasts Haters Who Think Caitlin Clark Isn’t Face Of WNBA

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

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

of course she is the face of the league. It’s just that she’s white and straight. That doesn’t work for the WNBA

Dildo On The Court, WNBA Laughingstock Again

A WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries was interrupted on Tuesday night after a bizarre object was thrown on to the floor late in the fourth quarter.

The Valkyries had rebounded a miss with about one minute left in the game when the object flew from the stands and down onto the court. The object bounced a few times away from the ballhandler and then toward the near sideline.

it was a green dildo and the girls all knew what it was.

I mean look at their faces. I’ll bet those lesbians know the brand and what kind of batteries it takes.

I makes the WNBA more of a joke. Then, they let the other teams beat the shit out of Caitlin Clark, the only reason anyone ever turns on a WNBA game.

FAFO About Alligators In Florida

Another idiot who can’t leave nature alone.

Luckily for us, the woman who did exactly that got dished with some instant karma, and considering how she only lost a flip flop, I would just count my losses and move on if I was her. To make this video even better, it’s narrated by a woman from the United Kingdom, so the accent adds a little bit of classiness to go along with wild Florida behavior.

Per a report from Fox 35 Orlando, footage has been circulating after Sarah Louise Martin posted it on her TikTok. She was on vacation from the U.K. in an alligator hotspot in Kissimmee, Florida, which is right outside of Orlando.

The video starts with the woman showing a pond with a group of deer hanging out beside it, but it wasn’t just the deer, an alligator also happened to be in attendance.

For the most part, the deer didn’t mind the gator doing his thing, despite the reptile making its way over to them. This ended up provoking some other lady to take action to get rid of the alligator and be a savior to the deer. But the problem was, like I said, she was interfering with nature and a hungry gator, which is completely unnecessary.

She attempted to get the gator to go away by tossing not one, but two flip-flops at it, but the gator clearly wasn’t a fan. So what does it decide to do?

By snatching one of her flip-flops and running into the lake with it — absolutely glorious!

EPA Undoes Obama-Era Carbon Emissions Regs … For Now

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Problems With LinkedIn

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

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

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

Anyway…..

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

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

  • .

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

Visualized: Every State’s Most Common Job in 1998 vs. 2024

Key Takeaways

  • Retail salesperson (39 states) and cashiers (7) were the most common job categories by state back in 1998.
  • In 2024, it’s fast food worker (15 states) and retail salesperson (11).
  • Home health aides are a new popular job category, the most common in 10 states.

1998 was a long time ago.

The first Matrix movie hadn’t yet released, the internet was still the purview of the Western world, and e-commerce giant Amazon was only five years old.

For obvious reasons, the U.S. labor market back then was different—but exactly how different?

This graphic compares the most common jobs in each U.S. state between 1998 to 2024, measured by the number of people employed in each category. Data for this visualization comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

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

They beat up their only star who can put butts in the seats, Caitlin Clark. They hate players who are straight and white. They want the same money as the NBA, but can’t beat a boys’ High School Team.

I tried watching it and the product isn’t very good except Caitlin

This has to hurt Angel’s pride …

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Source: ECMWF via Snowfan

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

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

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

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

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

Heavy snow in the Alps in July

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

And that’s during peak summer!

Global temps plummet

And this:

Climate Armageddon Canceled

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

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

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

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

And this gem:

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

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

Europe’s Forgotten Enslavement: The Brutal Islamic Slave Raids That Captured Millions

While America grapples with its own dark past of slavery, a massive chapter of history gets buried by academics who fixate on Western guilt.

Justin Marozzi’s eye-opening book, Captives and Companions, shines a light on the Islamic world’s slave trade, spanning over a millennium with unmatched scale and savagery. This isn’t ancient news, but it is a wake-up call for historians.

Marozzi estimates that from the 7th century to the 20th, up to 17 million Africans and Europeans were enslaved in Muslim lands, dwarfing the transatlantic trade’s 11-15 million.

Brutal raids targeted black Africans for labor and white Europeans for markets in North Africa and the Middle East. The sheer numbers reveal a system that caused more deaths and misery than often admitted.

In the opulent courts of Abbasid Baghdad, slave concubines like the poet ʿInān rose to fame, dazzling with wit and beauty while navigating deadly risks.

These women, often captured from distant lands, became cultural icons but remained property, their lives hanging on a ruler’s whim. Yet, their stories mix triumph with tragedy, showing resilience amid cruelty.

Raiders from Barbary coasts struck fear across Europe, hitting places like Devon, Cornwall, and even Iceland in 1627, where pirates abducted over 400 people into lifelong bondage.

Witnesses recounted horrors: families torn apart, villages burned, and captives sold far from home. This white slavery terrorized coasts for centuries, a truth sidelined in today’s narratives.

Castration created eunuchs for harems, with Victorian-era Sudan alone seeing 35,000 boys die yearly from botched operations to supply 3,500 survivors.

Passengers Spring into Action After Deranged Man on Flight to Scotland Makes Bomb Threat and Threatens Trump: “I’m Going to Bomb the Plane…Death To Trump…Allahu Akbar!”

Shocking footage has emerged online showing a deranged Islamist threatening to blow up a plane and threatening President Trump before passengers manage to save the day.

On Sunday, an EasyJet flight to Glasgow, Scotland, from Luton, England, was diverted after a passenger threatened to blow up the plane. As TGP readers know, Trump is currently in Scotland for trade meetings and to play golf.

In the footage, a man of apparent Middle Eastern descent is seen standing in the aisle calling for Trump’s death and announcing to the world he had a bomb.

“I’m going to bomb the plane!” the madman can be heard saying in the video. “Death to America! Death to Trump!”

He proceeds to scream “Allahu Akbar!” repeatedly while raising his fist before one brave passenger springs into action to tackle him to the ground. Another man jumps up to provide assistance when the Islamist starts to resist.

“Don’t move!” he says.

Search engines are not neutral tools – Especially Google

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

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

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

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

Government Waste That Should Really Piss You Off

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

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

The New York Post reports:

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

The effect of DEI on air safety is predictable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bugs Bunny Turns 85: The Cartoon Icon’s Impact Still Resonates 

Bugs is my favorite. I liked Jonny Quest also, but they didn’t make enough episodes and it kind of was the same episode every week. Every Jeopardy answer I get on Opera is from Bugs. He was the most anti-PC character before Beavis and Butthead

Not Bugs.

Bugs Bunny cartoon advertisement.

Hans von Spakovsky is the manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and a senior legal fellow in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

I know, I know. We have been in the midst of a blizzard of important domestic and world events this summer, from the final week of the Supreme Court’s term with a slew of important decisions to the fight over the “Big, Beautiful Bill” to the war in the Middle East and the Russian/Ukrainian conflict. We also just celebrated the 249th birthday of the United States.   

But in the midst of all this, we should not forget the 85th birthday of that beloved all-American trickster and practical joker, Bugs Bunny. A look back at the original cartoon series shows just how much that rabbit reflected the culture, the politics, and the patriotism of the times and how some of his antics wouldn’t play well for the woke generation of today.  

On July 27, 1940, the wisecracking, mouthy bunny with a Brooklyn accent got his official start in the Looney Tunes classic “A Wild Hare,” in which he bamboozles and confuses the most unsuccessful and hapless hunter in American history, Elmer Fudd, for the first of many times 

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

For the past 85 years, in addition to Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny has been trouncing, defeating, and outtalking a host of surly but memorable characters, including Yosemite Sam, the roughest, toughest hombre east of the Pecos; Porky “Th-Th-Th-That’s all, folks” Pig; and Daffy Duck. Elmer Fudd never managed to catch that wascally wabbit, and the same goes for Daffy Duck, who was never able to outsmart Bugs or get the better of him.  

Trouncing, defeating, and outtalking a host of surly characters? Gosh, who does that remind you of in today’s political world? 

There are even two cartoons, “Operation: Rabbit” (1952) and “To Hare is Human” (1956), in which Wile E. Coyote is up against Bugs Bunny instead of his usual opponent, the Road Runner, who is on vacation, with the same disastrous results. Wile E. Coyote actually speaks in that second cartoon, something he does not do in any other appearance, except by holding up a sign, usually about something stupid that he just did. 

Don’t you wish there really was a company like ACME, Wile E. Coyote’s go-to company for equipment? I know Amazon comes close, but it just doesn’t have the same expansive inventory as ACME of bombs, cannons, TNT, anvils, missiles, rocket sleds, and every other kind of fiendish device our fevered imaginations can imagine. 

While kids have always liked these cartoons, they were really designed by adults for adults, since they were shown in movie theaters before the feature films. The original cartoons contain many politically incorrect scenes that these days would get them instantly criticized by the “woke police,” another reason they remain so timeless.   

While Bugs Bunny was the main star, he had a host of other colleagues who appeared in other cartoons, including Pepe le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn, and Sylvester the cat, to name just a few. Besides Bugs Bunny, I have to admit that Foghorn Leghorn, the loud, blustering, overbearing rooster, is one of my other favorites characters, in large part because he resembles so many of the politicians one encounters here in the nation’s capital.   

Speaking of politicians, you shouldn’t miss “Ballot Box Bunny” (1951), where Bugs runs against Yosemite Sam for mayor of a small town. They play every trick you can imagine on each other to try to win—not too different from the tricks we see in real campaigns today—and Yosemite Sam’s campaign promises alone are worth watching. Bugs and Sam spend so much time attacking each other that, in the end, they are both beaten by a dark horse—in this case, literally a dark horse. Fortunately, neither of them is prosecuted by an overzealous U.S. Justice Department

While Daffy Duck may have never gotten the better of Bugs Bunny, he was the first American duck to go into space to battle aliens in 1953, long before Harrison Ford in “Star Wars,” when he fought Marvin the Martian in “Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century,” a takeoff on the “Buck Rogers” serial that premiered in movie houses in 1939. One of the cleverest of the Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny confrontations also premiered in 1953. In “Duck Amuck,” an unidentified animator keeps changing Daffy’s shape, location, and even his voice. Of course, it turns out in the end that the animator is Bugs Bunny. 

But getting back to the woke police, there was actually criticism of Pepe le Pew as supposedly glorifying a sexual harasser and of Elmer Fudd for carrying a gun. In fact, the idiots at HBO Max decreed that Fudd had to be gun-free in their reboot of Looney Tunes in 2020. Just more proof that liberals really have no sense of humor, something the Babylon Bee proves every day. 

Bugs Bunny was a star for Warner Bros., the Hollywood studio started in 1923 by the four Warner brothers, Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack. The animators at Warner Bros. created 167 brilliant and memorable Bugs Bunny cartoons during the golden age of American animation. I don’t count more recently produced Bugs Bunny cartoons, all of which lack the comedy, wit, and cleverness of the originals. These were cartoons created by adults for adults with a mischievous sense of humor. 

While Bugs Bunny always came out on top, he was not infallible. There were actually three cartoons that were takeoffs on the Aesop fairy tale about the race between the tortoise and the hare: “Tortoise Beats Hare” (1941), “Tortoise Wins by a Hare” (1943), and “Rabbit Transit” (1947). In each one, the tortoise gets the better of Bugs Bunny, including “Rabbit Transit,” in which Bugs Bunny actually wins the race but then is arrested by the police for speeding.   

Whenever he went on vacation, Bugs Bunny always took a wrong turn in Albuquerque. Having been to “Albukoykee,” as Bugs Bunny pronounces it, I can understand why. Those wrong turns led him to some dangerous places, including the middle of a bull ring in Mexico in “Bully for Bugs” (1953) or Nazi Germany in “Herr Meets Hare” (1945), where he confronted Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göering, and Bugs imitates Joseph Stalin.  

Speaking of Nazi Germany, Bugs did go to war like a lot of Hollywood during World War II. He became an honorary master sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps after he appeared in a Marine Corps dress blue uniform in “Super-Rabbit” (1943). Some of these wartime cartoons like “Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips” (1944) have been “banned” by oversensitive cartoon channels because of the racial or ethnic stereotypes used at the time. Bugs Bunny even got drafted during the Korean War in “Forward March Hare” (1952) when he got his neighbor’s draft notice by mistake. And no, he did not abscond to Canada to avoid service. 

If you love opera, you can’t beat the Bugs Bunny versions. Turns out that the directors and animators were all big opera fans. So, we have “The Rabbit of Seville” (1950) and “What’s Opera, Doc?” (1957), where Bugs and Elmer Fudd give us their versions of great Rossini and Wagner operas. You have to be an opera fan to get the joke at the end of “The Rabbit of Seville,” which was a takeoff of Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville.” At the end, Bugs drops Elmer Fudd into a huge cake that is labeled “The Marriage of Figaro,” which was Mozart’s version of “The Barber of Seville.” 

And what better way is there to learn about English or American history than watching the story of Robin Hood in “Rabbit Hood” (1945) or the American Revolution in “Bunker Hill Bunny” (1950). Or if you love the great American pastime, don’t miss “Baseball Bugs” (1946). Bugs Bunny takes on the Gas-House Gorillas in the Polo Grounds in New York City, the original home of both the Mets and the Yankees, playing all of the positions. He wins the game when he makes the ultimate play—catching a flyball at the top of the “Umpire” State Building, which he reaches by taking a cab from the baseball field to the skyscraper.  

There are many well-known lines from famous movies that have entered our culture, including from great classics like “Casablanca”: I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here,” or “Round up the usual suspects,” and the Bugs Bunny cartoons have those, too.   

All of the voices in the original cartoons were voiced by the brilliant Mel Blanc, probably the most talented and versatile voice that ever came out of Hollywood. One of his most repeated lines as Bugs Bunny besides “What’s up, Doc?” is “Of course, you realize, this means war.” Or “He don’t know me very well.”  

And one of Bugs Bunny’s commonly uttered derisions, “What a maroon,” comes to mind fairly often as I watch a slew of liberal politicians and left-wing activists at work in Washington each day. 

So, happy birthday, Bugs Bunny. You may be 85 years old, but you will always remain young in our hearts and a hare-raiser on the screen.   

That’s all folks!

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

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

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

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

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

Stuff like this and the rest of the FBI story would make anyone the Asshole of the Week, but Obama was president and didn’t respect the office, the country and finally, you and me.

he Science Behind Why Introverts Need Alone Time

The same things that motivate and energize extroverts can feel tiring and annoying to introverts, such as a big party.

As an introvert, I love spending time alone. There’s almost nothing better than being at home in my comfy clothes, quietly reading a good book, or watching a show while munching on snacks. This doesn’t mean I don’t crave time with “my people” — those I laugh with, learn from, and share my day with. However, without enough alone time, I start to feel tired, irritable, and overstimulated, even when I’ve enjoyed the company of those I love.

I show all the classic signs of being an introvert.

Sometimes, when I need alone time, the people in my life feel hurt. They view it as if I’m rejecting them and our relationship. But it’s not about them. I need time alone to recharge my energy and function well in my daily life.

Why do introverts need alone time? Why does socializing exhaust us, even when we’re having fun? Recent research offers some interesting insights. I delve deeper into these findings in my book, The Secret Lives of Introverts.

The Curious Connection Between Introverts and Rewards

When writing my book, I spoke with Colin DeYoung, a psychology professor at the University of Minnesota who had recently published a paper on introversion. He explained that one reason introverts need alone time is related to how we respond to rewards.

No, I’m not referring to the gold foil stars you might have earned in grade school (though it could be argued that stickers are indeed a reward for kids). For adults, rewards can be things like money, social status, social connections, sex, and food. When you get promoted at work or convince an attractive stranger to give you their phone number, you’re receiving a reward. Hurray!

Of course, introverts also value things like money, relationships, and food. However, researchers believe that introverts are wired to respond differently to rewards than extroverts. Compared to our more outgoing counterparts, we “quiet ones” are simply less motivated and energized by these same rewards. It’s as if extroverts see big, juicy steaks everywhere, while introverts often see overcooked hamburgers.

In fact, as any introvert can confirm, sometimes those “rewards” aren’t just less appealing — they can actually be tiring and annoying, like a big party. This brings me to another reason why introverts need alone time: We react differently to stimulation.

An Extrovert and an Introvert Go to a Party

Take, for example, two friends at a house party — one an extrovert, the other an introvert. They’re crammed into a crowded room where loud music blares from huge speakers. Everyone is practically shouting to be heard over the din. There are a dozen conversations happening simultaneously, with just as many things demanding their attention.

For the extrovert, this level of stimulation might feel just right. He sees potential rewards everywhere — an attractive stranger across the room, opportunities to deepen old relationships, and the chance to make new friends. Most importantly, tonight offers a chance to boost his social status within his friend group, especially if he navigates the evening skillfully.

So, the extrovert feels energized and excited to be at the party. In fact, he’s so motivated that he stays late into the night. He’s exhausted the next day and needs time to recover — after all, partying is hard work. But to him, the energy spent was well worth it.

Now, back to our introvert. See him over there, hunkered down in the corner? For him, the environment feels overwhelming. It’s too loud, there are too many things happening at once, and the crowd creates a dizzying buzz of activity. Sure, he wants to make friends, fit in, and be liked, but these rewards just aren’t as tantalizing to him. It feels like he would have to expend a lot of energy for something he’s only mildly interested in to begin with.

So, the introvert heads home early to watch a movie with his roommate. In his own apartment, with just one other person, the level of stimulation feels just right. He exchanges some texts with a woman he met a few weeks ago in one of his classes. Like the extrovert, he too wants friends and a romantic partner. However, he finds it too tiring to deal with the noise and socializing at a big party to make those connections.

The Dopamine Difference

Chemically, there’s a good reason the introvert in the above scenario feels overwhelmed, and it relates to a neurotransmitter called dopamine. This chemical, found in the brain, is often referred to as the “feel good” chemical because it regulates our pleasure and reward centers.

One of its roles is to make us notice potential rewards and motivate us to pursue them. For example, dopamine alerts the extrovert to the attractive stranger at the party and fuels his motivation to come up with a cheesy pick-up line.

Another important function of dopamine is reducing our cost of effort. Socializing requires energy because it involves paying attention, listening, thinking, speaking, and moderating our emotional reactions. Technically, socializing is tiring for everyone, including extroverts. However, dopamine helps make it less exhausting for them.

According to DeYoung, extroverts have a more active dopamine reward system. As a result, they can better tolerate — and often push through — the tiredness that inevitably comes with socializing. Much of the time, they don’t experience the same level of mental and physical fatigue that introverts do, thanks to this dopamine boost.

It’s called the “introvert” hangover, not the “extrovert” hangover for a reason.

When You’ll Do Anything For The D

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

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

According to the report:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Looking Like Obama Is A Deep Stater

Government conspiracies break down into two basic types, those of concealment and those of execution. The former are frighteningly common—Watergate, TWA 800, Benghazi. The latter are rare and potentially more destructive than even the “hide the decline” deep-sixing of Joe Biden’s senility.

“Russiagate,” for lack of a better term, looms as the most subversive conspiracy of execution in American history. Thanks to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, we have proof that it was not mere misjudgment.

On Friday, Gabbard lowered the boom. In her own words, “After President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.” Her bullet points go straight to the heart of the treason.

  • In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”
  • On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign advaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
  • On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
  • After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC [intelligence community] leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”
  • Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”
  • On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.

It goes on here and there are plenty of people covering it, it just needs to get out to save the country

Biden’s Green Dream of EV Postal Truck Fleet Is a $10 Billion Failure

Using the 2022 “Inflation Reduction Act” as cover for the progressive “Green New Deal,” the Biden administration funded a plan that aimed to eliminate gasoline-powered delivery trucks and deploy tens of thousands of battery-electric mail trucks by 2028.

And, like so many initiatives linked to Biden, it ended in complete failure. Republicans in Congress are working to claw-back the remaining monies.

The nearly $10 billion project — which called for more than 35,000 battery-powered US Postal Service (USPS) vehicles to be completed by September 2028 — was funded in part by $3 billion in funding from former President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

As of this month, the project is well behind schedule despite taxpayers forking over $1.7 billion — prompting Capitol Hill Republicans to try to rescind the remaining nearly $1.3 billion earmarked from the IRA.

“Biden’s multi-billion-dollar EV fleet for the USPS is lost in the mail and more than $1 billion is postmarked to order more,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) told The Post.

“I am working to cancel the order and return the money to the sender, the American people. The rescissions package is a great start, but Congress must keep its foot on the pedal and make DOGE a lifestyle by stamping out waste like this on a regular basis.”

When kicking off the project that was supposed to generate a fleet of over 60,000 electric delivery trucks, one Biden climate advisor described it as “the Biden climate strategy on wheels.”

The post office said it is spending nearly $10 billion to electrify its aging fleet, including installing modern charging infrastructure at hundreds of postal facilities nationwide and purchasing at least 66,000 electric delivery trucks in the next five years. The spending includes $3 billion in funding approved under a landmark climate and health policy adopted by Congress last year.

Posting Might Be Light This Week

I’m on semi-vacation with some family. Go read my introvert posts on how well I do with that.

So I have some stuff ready, but mostly I’ll be watching my social battery drain. I went to one of the most average theme park yesterday. I mostly chased kids.

I’m already in introvert hangover

A Short History Of The Emoji.

I refuse to use them. I think they are childish and don’t add anything to the text, no matter how cute you think you are. I deduct man points if a guy sends me one who’s over 30.

Emojis have become a staple of electronic communication since their inception in the 1990s and people of all ages and on all continents use them. While their number keeps on growing every year due to new releases by the Unicode Consortium, the pictograms are increasingly vying for users’ attention as other forms of visual communication – think gifs, stickers and avatars – are experiencing their heyday.

With myriads of emojis released over the previous years, new batches have become somewhat smaller.

As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports, a recently suggested update that would grow the number of emojis to almost 4,000 next year contains 164 additional pictograms, but only nine completely new ones.

While 2022 had seen the release of 112 new emojis, that number was just 31 in 2023. The figure rose again to 118 in 2024 due to emojis that allow users to pick different skin colors or genders (which are counted individually), before falling to an all-time low of eight in 2025. The number of non-customizable emojis has meanwhile decreased with almost every release.

Just Another Reason For Me Not To Fly – Watch: Delta 767 Engine Erupts Into Flames After LAX Takeoff

Last month’s deadly Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash remains very vivid in the public’s memory, especially after dramatic footage went viral on X. Those fears were reignited Saturday when a Delta Air Lines Boeing 767’s engine caught fire during takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport.

The Boeing 767 engine caught fire shortly after takeoff around 2 p.m. Video from the ground captured the flames coming out from one of the engines. The flight landed safely after returning to the LAX runway,” aviation watcher account Breaking Aviation News & Videos wrote on X.

Oh, let’s not forget the DEI push that Boeing put on the last few years. You reap what you sow.

Mein Kampf 100th Anniversary: Has the World Learned Anything?

On July 18, 1925, Adolph Hitler’s book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was published. Written while he was in Landsberg prison, where he was serving a relatively relaxing sentence for the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch coup, Hitler made very clear what he would do if the German people put him and the leftist National Socialist Party in power.

Mein Kampf is in two volumes. Part 1 has stories about Hitler’s life, including serving as a soldier in World War I. The book sold a paltry 9,473 copies in its first year. At the time, few people cared what a short man with a funny moustache thought.

Part 2 was published in 1927. Unlike many politicians who hide their true goals, Hitler put it all in his book for the entire world to read. He was very clear about his antisemitic views and what he would do to make Germany Judenfrei if he gained power and could implement his Third Reich agenda.

Image created using public domain images.

Sales of the two volumes continued to be slow as many Germans viewed Hitler as more of a comic (funny moustache, short, feminine speaking mannerisms, etc.). At first, they didn’t take him or his left-wing National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) seriously. In “Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show,” Tom Phillips writes about how many viewed Hitler as a fool:

In fact, this may even have helped his rise to power, as he was consistently underestimated by the German elite. Before he became Chancellor, many of his opponents had dismissed him as a joke for his crude speeches and tacky rallies. Even after elections had made the Nazis the largest party in the Reichstag, people still kept thinking that Hitler was an easy mark, a blustering idiot who could easily be controlled by smart people.

In Hitlerland, Andrew Nagorski discusses the American media’s early impressions of Hitler and the Third Reich:

Yet you had Americans meeting Hitler and saying, ‘This guy is a clown. He’s like a caricature of himself.’ And a lot of them went through this whole litany about how even if Hitler got into a position of power, other German politicians would somehow be able to control him. A lot of German politicians believed this themselves.

Surprisingly, German Jews also did not take Hitler seriously during his early years. In 1925, only a few German Jewish newspapers even bothered to review Mein Kampf. As Raphael Ahren wrote in The Times of Israel article “Why Jews Didn’t Blink an Eye When Mein Kampf First Came Out”:

When Mein Kampf came out for the first time, German Jews hardly noticed it. They certainly did not view it as a threat to their existence, or even as a harbinger of a changing political climate in the Fatherland.

Rahel Straus, a physician who grew up in Karlsruhe, Germany, and emigrated to Palestine in 1933, wrote in her memoirs:

We passed by the boxes of the Volkisher Beobachter (the official organ of the Nazi Party), read the incendiary articles and indignantly continued working. We didn’t realize that this Volkisher Beobachter was one of the most read newspapers in Germany at the time. We saw Hitler’s Mein Kampf on display in every bookstore; none of us bought it, none of us read it.

Slowly, that short man with the funny moustache and his leftist Nazi Party chiseled away at the Weimar Republic. The worldwide depression that started in October 1929 gave them a growing audience of supporters. By 1932, the Nazi Party had become the largest political party in the Reichstag (the German parliament).

One year later, on January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by the aging President Paul von Hindenburg. When the 86-year-old Hindenburg died on August 2, 1934, Hitler announced that the office of president and chancellor would merge under the title of Führer und Reichskanzler (leader and chancellor). Those who disagreed were free to discuss the matter at the end of a gun barrel or while laboring in Dachau.

Suddenly, sales of Mein Kampf rose to more than 1 million copies. In 1935, the Franz, Eher, Nacht publishing house suggested to Hitler that a special Mein Kampf version should be given to every newlywed couple on the day of their wedding.

The western world, still reeling from the horrors of World War I, watched what was happening in Germany and worried that another massive worldwide conflict was on the horizon. Meanwhile, Germany was ignoring the Treaty of Versailles while the Allies embraced appeasement.

After signing the Munich Agreement on September 30, 1938, between Great Britain and Germany, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain flew back to London believing he had prevented a second European war. When Chamberlain, whose name would become synonymous with appeasement, reached the prime minister’s residence at 10 Downing Street, he read a prepared statement:

My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time….

British Prime Minister Chamberlain and, to a lesser degree, President Franklin Roosevelt bent like pretzels to avoid a second colossal world war. In the meantime, Winston Churchill, who in 1935 had read the unedited English version of Mein Kampf, was repeatedly telling anyone who would listen that it would be better to stop Hitler now before he rebuilt Germany’s army and arsenal.

Few were listening to Churchill.

By May 10, 1940, when Churchill succeeded Chamberlain as prime minister, Mein Kampf had been in the public square for nearly 15 years and was a best seller in Germany and the occupied Nazi nations. Chamberlain’s years of appeasement had resulted in:

  • March 7, 1936: Germany invaded and remilitarized the Rhineland.
  • March 12-13, 1938: Germany annexed Austria (Anschluss).
  • March 15, 1939: Germany invaded the Czechoslovakia via the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia.
  • September 1, 1939: Germany invaded Poland.
  • September 3, 1939: Great Britain declared war on Germany.

Keep all this in mind when laughing at memes mocking intelligence-challenged politicians such as New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett, or New York’s Communist-Democrat mayoral candidate Zohan Mamdani.
