There wasn’t any woman a Kennedy wouldn’t take to bed. Mob boss girlfriend, communist spy, Hollywood actress, sister-in-law, widow, intern, whatever. And those are just the ones we know about. While the sex stories have died down with the passing of pants-less Uncle Teddy, the screwing continues in a different form: they now screw each other.

No, not like that – they aren’t Ilhan Omar. They’re screwing each other in metaphorical ways, symbolic ways.

There was a time when the Kennedy family stuck together. It was an admirable quality, that loyalty, even though it didn’t apply to anyone who married into the family. Well, ok, loyalty to the people who married into the family wasn’t their thing (not sure if there was a spouse who didn’t get screwed around), but loyalty to the family was demanded of them nonetheless, just ask Peter Lawford.

Still, they weren’t outstabbing each other in the backs or sabotaging one another. The current generation is.

You’d be hard-pressed to name many Kennedys these days. They don’t really do anything, aside from keeping the name “Kennedy” in their name either through hyphenated or simply keeping it, lest people not know they’re distantly related to people who once did something.

That’s a bit of a joke, but it’s also the truth. Name something important any living Kennedy has done. I’ll wait, go Google it.

It’s not hidden, it doesn’t exist.

I don’t have the affinity so many others do for the Kennedys. The only one alive in my lifetime was the guy who killed the girl, and then pretended he was the victim. Ted was a piece of garbage; a drunk who groped and grinded his way through any woman unfortunate enough to be near him. He was Ted Kennedy, who the hell could report him? His brothers were killed serving the country.

Former Attorney General William Barr has been a vocal Donald Trump critic since leaving the Department of Justice. There were points where you’d think Barr was becoming infected with the MSNBC bug, bolstering liberal talking points about the former president in the hopes of landing more guest spots on television. How many former aides have become Benedict Arnolds? This list stretches the length of the Eastern Seaboard.

Barr was smeared as Trump’s errand boy during his presidency. That was never the case. And while he has been brutal in his assessment of Trump and his potential return, he’s backing his former boss again in 2024 because the far left is the greater threat to America (via NY Post):

Former Attorney General Bill Barr is backing his old boss in the November election despite their very public fallout — because he believes the “far left” is an even greater threat to the US.

Barr, 73, disputed the notion that former President Donald Trump will be worse for democracy than President Biden, and warned about the rise of the “far left.”

“The Biden administration is in fact the greater threat to democracy,” Barr told Fox News’ “Cavuto Live” on Saturday.

“I think that they have a totalitarian temper. They have bought into the progressive movement. And they’re trying to squelch opposition and freedom of speech.”

Look, I don’t want to shock you, but I think that our alleged President is senile. Really. Hear me out. Now look, I understand that the regime media teaches that he is a vigorous go-getter taking the lead on important issues and making America safer, more prosperous, and more equitable, but I’m concerned, folks. Maybe I’m off base, but I’m having doubts. I think the evidence is increasingly clear that he’s a senile old pervert who showered with his daughter, as well as a neo-communist serial liar whose inability to tell the truth is matched only by his grubby corruption. Other than that, he’s fine.

And I am glad he’s the Democrat nominee for President. I believe he’s going to hold onto that office with his bony claws right up through election day. And I think he has a substantial chance of losing to Donald Trump. I didn’t use to, but I’m happy to say America is waking up. Voters can’t ignore Grandpa Badfinger’s failures and foolishness any longer.

The people purportedly helping him are actually hurting him, which is great to watch. I particularly loved when he decided to tell the world that cannibals consumed Uncle Bosie. Now, let me say that again because I want to ensure you got it. The alleged President of the United States looked at the camera and told America that cannibals ate his uncle.

Cannibals did not eat his uncle.

And you would think that this bizarre lie about his uncle being an hors d’oeuvre would’ve been enough, but in the same series of incoherent sentences, he also managed to confuse Pearl Harbor with D-Day, get the day of the week wrong, and draw in Beau Biden’s death, which now occurred in action in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or wherever else it is useful for him to claim it happened. At least he left out his classic lie that the other driver in the accident that killed his first wife was drunk. This milking the death of relatives thing has become a habit.

He told this particular set of lies in the course of slandering Trump about the troops. Honest Joe was reviving that old “losers and suckers” lie that all of us veterans recognize as a lie. Joe Biden’s not a veteran. That’s because of another lie. Whatever happened to that asthma that kept our Commander-in-Crusty out of ‘Nam anyway? Was a stammer enough to get a deferment, too?

Opening statements were underway in President Trump’s ‘hush payment’ trial in New York City on Monday morning.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s top prosecutor lied during his opening statement and claimed Trump “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election” when he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.

Trump has denied the affair.

Bragg’s top prosecutor who gave the opening statement on Monday – Matthew Colangelo – previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.

“The defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election. Then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his New York business records over and over and over again,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a former top Biden DOJ appointee – told jurors, according to AP.

Alvin Bragg indicted Trump last April on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.

Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

A CNN panel on Monday said they found it striking that an alternate juror in former President Donald Trump’s case can attend a dentist appointment while the defendant cannot attend momentous events.

Opening arguments for Trump’s trial related to a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels began on Monday, and the judge overseeing the case, Juan Merchan, reportedly will end the session early to allow one of the alternate jurors to attend the appointment. Merchan previously ruled that Trump must be in the courtroom throughout the trial because of his status as a criminal defendant, meaning he is not permitted to attend the Supreme Court’s Thursday presidential immunity argument and may not be able to go to his son Barron’s graduation.

“It’s interesting. Court today was supposed to go to 2:00,” CNN legal correspondent Paula Reid said. “That’s an abbreviated day to recognize Passover, but instead it‘s actually going to go to 12:30 because one of the alternates has a dentist appointment. So, the judge said that he is going to allow that alternate to go to the dentist appointment, saying we can‘t afford to lose one of our alternates.”

Maine is the newest frontier for the illicit marijuana trade, with potentially hundreds of suspected unlicensed grow houses operating in the state, a CBS News investigation has found.

It’s part of a larger phenomenon nationwide. Thousands of illegal marijuana farms have been cropping up in states like Oklahoma, California and Colorado, according to Raymond Donovan, the former chief of operations for the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Inflation is no coincidence. It is a policy. Governments, along with their so-called experts, attempt to persuade you that inflation stems from anything other than the consistent, albeit slower, rise in aggregate prices year after year. Issuing more currency than the private sector demands, thus eroding its purchasing power and creating a constant annual transfer of wealth from real wages and deposit savings to the government.

Oil prices are not a cause of inflation but a consequence. Prices increase as more units of the currency used to denominate the commodity shift to relatively scarce assets. Therefore, oil prices do not cause inflation; they are one of the signals of currency debasement. Furthermore, if oil prices caused inflation, we would go from inflation to deflation quickly, not from elevated inflation to slower price increases.

The same goes for all the causes that governments and their agents try to use as an excuse for inflation. Most are just manifestations, not causes of inflation. Even if the global economy were dominated by three evil and stupid oligopolistic businesses, they would not be able to increase aggregate prices and maintain an annual increase if the quantity of currency in the system were to remain equal. Why? Two things would happen. First, those three monopolistic evil corporations would see their working capital soar because citizens would not have enough units of currency to pay for all they produce. Two, the rest of the prices would decline as there would be a significantly lower number of units of currency to purchase other goods and services.

Even a group of quasi-monopolistic corporations cannot make all prices rise in unison and consolidate the annual level, only to continue rising. However, the monopolistic issuer of the currency, the government, can make all prices rise while at the same time diminishing the purchasing power of the units of state debt that they issue.

President Trump is swarmed by supporters at fast food restaurants and bodegas where he spends a long time talking to them and reporters, as happened last Tuesday evening in Harlem.

In contrast, 81 million vote getter Joe Biden stopped by a Sheetz gas station in Pittsburgh Wednesday afternoon and was greeted by total silence, save for one supporter who met him at the door with a hug. Video of Biden’s entrance shows two children and their mother seated, silently watching Biden, with the sound of the in-store music heard quite clearly over the small talk by Biden and the supporter.

There were no cheers, no chants of “Four more years!” Just muzak.

With few supporters to talk to, Biden was in and out in just two minutes according to the pool report.

A horrifying video has emerged showing the moment an evil Michigan caregiver assaulted a 93-year-old dementia patient, and the victim’s daughter is speaking out.

According to WEYI, the incident occurred at Landings of Genesee Valley in Flint, Michigan on April 4, but the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office obtained and released footage of the assault Thursday during a press conference.

The sick footage shows the perpetrator repeatedly smashing a full diaper over the elderly woman’s head while she sits in her wheelchair and raises her arms.

The sinister caregiver then chokes the woman in the bathroom before violently slapping her in the mouth. The footage concludes with the young monster raising her fists and threatening her victim.

An exemplary student with a 100 GPA lost out on her dream school thanks to a racist and “subjective” DEI scheme rewarding less deserving students.

The New York Post reported Saturday that 14-year-old Kristina Raevsky, an eight-grade student in Queens, discovered on March 7 that she was rejected from Townsend Harris High School in Flushing because of a lottery system in NYC that placed her perfect test scores with kids who scored over 94.

She told the Post the news “shocked” her.

“I was shocked,” Raevsky said. “Everyone I told said, ‘How is this possible?’ And I told them, ‘I don’t know, it isn’t me that is the problem. The system is the problem.”

“Prior to the lottery, before COVID, my mindset was, ‘Well, I have a 100 average, I’m at the top of my class, I have perfect attendance, and I did well on the state tests,” she continued. “What could possibly go wrong?’”

The International Monetary Fund last week ripped the Biden administration’s out of control spending, calling it “out of line with what is needed for long-term fiscal stability.”

According to the New York Post, the IMF, an international organization aimed at fighting financial crises across the globe, warned that ever-growing national debt in the U.S. poses a long-term risk to the global economy.

“Something will have to give,” the IMF cautioned in foreword of the World Economic Forecast published on Tuesday.

“The exceptional recent performance of the United States is certainly impressive and a major driver of global growth,” the IMF said. “But it reflects strong demand factors as well, including a fiscal stance that is out of line with long-term fiscal sustainability.”

Unfortunately, the Biden administration has shown no intention of slowing down its spending.

In a desperate attempt to stimulate sales and prop up a stock price dropping like a rock, Elon Musk’s Tesla has reduced the prices of three of its five models in the United States.

CNBC reports that late Friday, Tesla announced significant price cuts for its Model Y, S, and X vehicles in the U.S. market. The decision comes on the heels of a challenging week for the electric vehicle manufacturer, which included massive layoffs and a recall of nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks due to accelerator pedals that can become stuck to the floor of the bizarre electric truck.

The Model Y, Tesla’s most popular model and the top-selling electric vehicle in the U.S., saw its starting price reduced to $42,990. The company also lowered the prices of its older and more expensive models, with the Model S now starting at $72,990 and the Model X at $77,990. The prices for the Model 3 sedan and the Cybertruck remained unchanged.

This move follows a tumultuous period for Tesla, as the company’s stock price has dropped approximately 40 percent since the beginning of the year. The decline is attributed to falling sales and increased competition in the electric vehicle market. By offering discounted sticker prices, Tesla aims to attract more car buyers and boost sales.

Sheetz Convenience Stores Accused Of Discriminating Against Minority Job Seekers By Refusing To Consider Applicants With Criminal Record

A popular US convenience store chain has been hit with a civil rights lawsuit accusing it of discriminating against minority job seekers because it requires applicants to have no criminal record.

On April 18, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Sheetz Inc., accusing the 24/7 convenience store chain of having discriminatory hiring practices that targeted minority applicants.

According to the lawsuit, Sheetz has maintained a longstanding practice of screening all job applicants for records of criminal conviction and then denying them employment based on those records.

As a result, the EEOC is accusing Sheetz of “disproportionately screening out Black, Native American/Alaska Native and multiracial applicants.”

This is despite the fact that the lawsuit does not allege that Sheetz’s hiring practices were motivated by race.

According to the EEOC press release, Sheetz’s hiring practices violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits workplace discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion and national origin. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.

“Federal law mandates that employment practices causing a disparate impact because of race or other protected classifications must be shown by the employer to be necessary to ensure the safe and efficient performance of the particular jobs at issue,” said EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence.

“Even when such necessity is proven, the practice remains unlawful if there is an alternative practice available that is comparably effective in achieving the employer’s goals but causes less discriminatory effect.”

The EEOC began its probe into Sheetz after two job applicants filed civil rights complaints alleging employment discrimination.

Scurvy is a rather unattractive word. Only the term went away, but this deficiency disease remains today as the most prevalent entry point for a host of chronic conditions. The British Navy “solved” acute scurvy by supplying limes and citrus fruits to sailors whose teeth fell out and otherwise died in agony during long voyages. Other antiscorbutic fruits and vegetables were found and utilized as time went on.  Not learning from the history of earlier remedies, pharmaceutical medicine disavows the use of Vitamin C in favor of treating myriad symptoms of chronic scurvy with drugs.  No wonder life-saving supplementation and infusions of Vitamin C remain outside standards of practice; too simple, too cheap, too effective!

Old concepts and practices must be scrupulously destroyed before power can install new narratives;  just the way history has always been buried before “a new” history marches on.

Gum disease, bleeding/bruising, various infections, depression, slow healing,  joint/skin/hair problems and heart disease are all signs of low-grade chronic scurvy.

Vitamin deficiencies from other essential nutrients may also be present as low-grade Beri-Beri & Pellagra (B-Vitamins), Rickets (Vitamin D) and a lack of antioxidant Vitamins A,E,K and certain minerals,…  yet be mis-diagnosed and treated as remote “diseases???”

Vitamin deficiency conditions became known over past centuries and correctly attributed to a lack of one or more “Vit-al” factors.  They were largely eliminated through diet…until modern chemical farming, food processing, junk ingredients and countervailing metals/toxins/drugs/alcohol/tobacco entered the mix.  Thousands of downstream “diseases” have now been “discovered,” each rooted in nutritional deficiencies and said to require pricey medications. Modern medicine attained monopoly status by ignoring root causes of common maladies, and by promoting mass vaccination while actively hiding vaccine data effectively dismissing preventive measures to insure obscene profits.

Natalie Perry has reportedly been caught cheating her way into a highly important and well-paid DEI Director position at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.

The woke UCLA gushes about the university’s DEI Director on its website, boasting about “Dr. Perry, who holds a Ph.D. in higher education (University of Virginia), an EdM in teaching and curriculum (Harvard University), and a BA in African American and African Studies (Ohio State University).”

The woke university is so proud of Dr. Perry’s doctoral dissertation that they even highlight it in their introduction to the so-called DEI expert:

“Her doctoral dissertation (“Faculty Perceptions of Diversity at a Highly Selective Research-Intensive University”) examined institutional commitment to diversity from the perspective of organizational values. Dr. Perry’s wealth of experience in understanding and improving the culture of higher education, including in an academic health system, will be invaluable to our ongoing efforts to embed our aspirational Cultural North Star’s value into our organizational DNA.”

President Joe Biden’s black voter base is dwindling.

Whether it’s because of his handling of the Israel-Hamas war, the enormous economic strain forcing many Americans to take on additional shifts or second jobs, or even his push to ban menthol cigarettes, black Americans are taking a second look at the Democratic incumbent.

What this means for Biden in the 2024 election is clear. Even the smallest falloff in a constituency long dominated by Democrats could spell disaster.

It’s leaving the door wide open for former President Donald Trump, who won 8 percent of the black vote in 2016 and then 12 percent in 2020.

In a recent New York Times/Siena poll, he received 16 percent support from black voters despite being called racist at every turn by Democrats since entering the political scene.

For some reason the lapdog media is not reporting today that Stormy Daniels owes President Trump $300,000 for making false claims against him.

In March 2022, the 9th Circuit Court issued a final ruling in the case brought against Trump by disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti and Stormy.

The court ruled that Stormy Daniels owed President Trump $300,000 in legal fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit against the US President.

The media is ignoring this important development as they continue to lie by omission to the American public.

Newly unsealed documents in Donald Trump’s classified documents case reveal that the Biden White House colluded with the National Archives (NARA) and the FBI to concoct a case against the former president.

What’s more, Special Counsel Jack Smith sought to conceal this – telling Judge Eileen Cannon in February that Trump’s counsel isn’t entitled to discovery on documents between the White House and NARA, that the court should toss requests for evidence of the alleged coordination, and that the court should deny Trump’s request for evidence related to secure facilities at his residences. Further, Trump’s request for unredacted discovery of materials should be denied.

The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) daughter Isra Hirsi was suspended from her inordinately expensive college after being arrested during a pro-Hamas protest at Columbia University last Thursday. Now, she’s homeless and hungry despite having a wealthy Democrat politician for a mother.

The 21-year-old Hirsi is a student at Barnard College, which costs $90,000 per year to attend. She calls herself an “angry black girl” with a communist hammer and sickle symbol in her X/Twitter profile.’

Hirsi revealed during an interview with Teen Vogue that she has no place to sleep or stay after being evicted from Barnard campus housing and barred from using the dining hall.

“I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go?” complained Hirsi. “And also, all of my sh*t is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently appointed Zakiya Carr Johnson as the State Department’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer.

Her mission, according to Blinken, was to help build a workforce that reflects America.

Given that Blinken has previously promoted a politically correct agenda, for example, suggesting that employees avoid gendered terms such as manpower and mother, this comes as no surprise. Blinken justified this diversity effort in terms of national security, saying, “We will continue to pursue this mission aggressively, because recruiting, nurturing, and promoting the most capable workforce possible is critical to our national security.”

Since Blinken knew of Johnson’s earlier State Department service, he further added, “previous work promoting entrepreneurship and access to opportunity for underrepresented populations, as well as her commitment to inclusive leadership make us stronger, smarter, and more innovative.”

Yet, despite the Secretary’s heartfelt endorsement, critics condemned Johnson’s openly anti-American, anti-white statements.

She called America a “failed historic model” and demanded the destruction of tradition “at every juncture” on the altar of antiracism“ and “we live and work within systems… deeply rooted in patriarchy and colonialism and racism and otherism.” She also considers herself a feminist but with a racial twist who “embraces a ‘feminist’ leadership style, but one that “counter[s] White-centered feminism trends and narratives.”

Predictably, white supremacy was singled out for special ire, “We cannot have equity without dismantling structural racism, patriarchy and heterosexism … It will start with movements … that compel us to ask … uncomfortable questions. What does inclusion mean for example, if White supremacy remains intact?”

New York, NY; On Friday, the Biden Education Department released a new Title IX regulation to tell schools how to handle sex discrimination claims, including allegations of sexual misconduct. It was delayed multiple times since public comments opposed its gutting of due process and its redefinition of the word “sex.” “The National Association of Scholars (NAS) denounces Biden’s Title IX rule as a due process disaster and the promotion of fringe sexual politics,” said NAS Policy Director Teresa R. Manning. “Where Title IX was slowly improving, it has now taken two steps back. Due process ought to be a prerequisite of these internal investigations which have outsized consequences on students’ lives.” Congress designed Title IX to remove impediments to women entering colleges and universities by protecting women from sex-based discrimination in higher education. NAS’s report, Dear Colleague: The Weaponization of Title IX, found that campus Title IX officers often overreached their mandates, supported by informal rules issued by the Obama and Biden administrations. These staff, who are expected to adjudicate claims of sexual misconduct and discrimination, typically represent disciplines hostile to men with no experience being fair and impartial. The new Biden rule increases the power of campus Title IX administrators and reduces due process by allowing the “Single Investigator Model,” also called “the individual meeting method,” to resolve disputes while removing the requirement for a formal, live hearing at the college level. It also redefines “sex” to include same-sex orientation and gender ideology such that those opposed to gender ideology, transsexualism, and demanded pronouns can now be treated as violating Title IX. “Campus activists dressed up as judge, jury, and executioner have a proven record of railroading accused students, resulting in hundreds of lawsuits against such campus kangaroo courts,” added Manning. “Incredibly, Biden’s Rule gives these bureaucrats more power and less accountability by replacing a formal hearing with ‘individual meetings.’ This reduces transparency and formality where it is needed most.” Manning continued: “What’s more, the rule promotes fringe sexual politics by giving preferential treatment to gender ideology and those of same-sex attraction. Congress never intended Title IX to become a weapon of leftwing sexual politics. But that’s what the Biden Administration is making it.” NAS calls on Congress to reject the Rule with its power under the Congressional Review Act. NAS also encourages state Attorneys General to sue the Education Department for this gross administrative overreach. “Redefining ‘sex’ and gutting Due Process are matters of fundamental policy to be determined by the United States Congress, not the administrative state run amok,” concluded Manning. “NAS hopes state Attorneys General will step up and take the Biden Title IX Rule to court, stopping it well before it is scheduled to take effect on August 1.”   NAS is a network of scholars and citizens united by a commitment to academic freedom, disinterested scholarship, and excellence in American higher education. Membership in NAS is open to all who share a commitment to these broad principles. NAS publishes a journal and has state and regional affiliates. Visit NAS at www.nas.org.

County Executive
125 N. Division Street
P.O. Box 870
Salisbury, MD 21801

Dear County Executive Giordano:

We write to you to express our concern over the Safari at the Quarry event scheduled to take place on May 4 and May 5. This matter has repeatedly been brought to the attention of the County Council during public comments, as well as by repeated written communications received over the last several weeks. During Council comments individual members of the Council have expressed concern about the nature of the event as well as the fact that the event was not publicly discussed prior to the County Executive entering into the Memorandum of Understanding (herein “MOU”) with the event organizer.

The Council is now aware that the event organizer is in breach of the MOU in numerous ways and accordingly, the majority of the Council request that you immediately notify Live Wire Media, Inc. that the event is terminated as permitted under the Termination provision contained in the MOU. The breach of the MOU includes, but may not be limited to, failing to obtain all licenses, permits and governmental approvals needed, placing the event course outside the property identified in the MOU, and failing to properly inform neighboring property owners of the scheduled event.

The County Council is now aware that the City of Salisbury has sent a letter to you stating the event violates City zoning. While the Council has been aware that the property is zoned residential under City zoning and under certain circumstances county owned property may be exempt from City zoning, that exemption requires that the intended use be for a public purpose. Under the terms of the MOU, the event organizer had the sole responsibility to obtain necessary City approval to hold this event, and it is clear that the event organizer failed to act in accordance with the MOU and obtain the necessary approval from the City of Salisbury.

Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the event organizer and the County agreed that the event would beheld on 111.58 acres of the Connelly Mill Road property. Parcels 169 and 167 total exactly 111.58 acres; however, the event organizer has posted a map of the event course which shows that a substantial portion of the event is scheduled to take place on Parcel 167. As such Live Wire Media,
LLC has breached the MOU.

It has been apparent for some weeks that Live Wire Media, LLC did not properly “inform neighboring property owners of the May 4 and 5 event as required by the MOU. This breach has created serious problems for Wicomico County and resulted in the neighboring property owners repeatedly contacting the County Executive and the County Council to determine the plans for the event and to express concerns about the impact on their properties. This breach compounds the problem created by your office when you did not inform the Council about the MOU and intentionally made the
term of the MOU 364 days to avoid the legal requirement for Council approval of any agreement with a term of more than one year.

In light of the clear and repeated breaches of the MOU by Live Wire Media, LLC, the County Council believes it is imperative that the County Executive terminate this MOU immediately. We would point out that the termination provision permits the County to terminate the MOU by written ten (10) notice to Live Wire Media, LLC. Accordingly, the written termination must be sent out by close of business today.

Sincerely,
WICOMJCO COUNTY, MARYLAND

White House calls protests ‘blatantly antisemitic, unconscionable and dangerous’

The White House condemned “in the strongest terms” the ongoing anti-Israel protests at colleges across the U.S., including at Columbia University in New York City, on Sunday, saying they have no place anywhere in the U.S.

“While every American has the right to peaceful protest, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly antisemitic, unconscionable and dangerous – they have absolutely no place on any college campus or anywhere in the United States of America,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said. “And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the strongest terms.”

Anti-Israel agitators occupied the university’s south lawn for hours on Wednesday while the school’s president, Minouche Shafik, testified before congress about the antisemitism on Columbia’s campus.

As it stands, liberal Arizona voting laws have paved the way for non-citizens, whether they are legal or not, to register for and cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to retired U.S. Air Force master sergeant Nick Kupper, who is one of several state legislature candidates vying for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives’ District 25. While the voting laws do not affect his run for office, he is gravely concerned about the upcoming presidential race.

“In Arizona,” Kupper said, “even if the state can’t verify whether you’re a citizen, people can still assert that they are citizens.” While these individuals are not allowed to vote in Arizona elections, they can still vote in the federal election. “They can still vote for the president,” he explained.

In an April 16 post on X, Kupper pointed out that “In 2020 Biden got 73% of the federal only votes & Trump lost AZ by 10K votes. There are now over 32K federal only voters in AZ which would give Biden 15K more votes than Trump in 2024.”

For the past few weeks, we’ve heard news reports of avian flu being transmitted from birds to cattle. That narrative shifted recently to say it’s actually cattle that are spreading the disease to poultry. Now, USDA scientists are weighing their options which include an avian flu vaccine for cows.

As has been demonstrated time and again in recent decades, most so-called “vaccines” injected into livestock and poultry end up having a detrimental effect. This is why many all-natural food companies, including Prepper All-Naturals, fight against injections and work only with farmers and ranchers who are not required to jab their animals with dangerous experimental vaccines.

“This avian flu is unprecedented but aligns perfectly with the desires of the powers-that-be to control the food supply,” said Jason Nelson, co-founder of Prepper All-Naturals. “The steady grind of attacks against the beef industry is indicative of the authoritarian times in which we live.”

According to the University of Minnesota, avian flu vaccines may be coming to a steak near you in the future:

In updates to its frequently-asked-question backgrounder on the H5N1 avian flu situation in dairy cows yesterday, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) provided several updates on the investigation and response, including that its Agricultural Research Service has started to assess the potential to develop an H5N1 vaccine for cows.

The agency added that it’s difficult to say how long development might take, because there are still questions about transmission to cattle and characteristics of infection in cows. APHIS said manufacturers have expressed interest in producing vaccines for both poultry and cows.

“We will continue to engage with these developers to better understand their vaccine development, the efficacy of potential vaccines, as well as the cost of development and production,” it said.

Food inflation in general and skyrocketing meat costs in particular have prompted many Americans to start stocking up on long-term storage food. Freeze-dried foods for “preppers” are becoming scarce as companies struggle to keep up with the spike in demand.

“We’re producing as much Ribeye, NY Strip, and other cuts as fast as we can,” Nelson said. “Thankfully it has a 25-year shelf life so we have the luxury of being allowed to over-produce, mitigating the risk of having products sitting too long on shelves.”

• Several studies published between 2022 and 2024 underscore the health risks posed by 5G technology
• Research contradicts the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection guidelines, demonstrating various harmful biological effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on humans and the environment, including potential cancer risk
• Studies reveal 5G’s potential to induce neurological damage and psychiatric problems, highlighting its effects on brain development, including the increased risk of conditions like dementia through mechanisms such as the impairment of neurosin
• A December 2023 study illustrates the detrimental effects of 5G RFR on rat sperm, showing decreased sperm count and quality, with melatonin offering a protective effect
• February 2024 research indicates significant changes in the fecal microbiome and metabolome profiles in mice exposed to 5G RFR, hinting at broader implications for health, including mental well-being and immune function

(Mercola)—Over the past decade, I’ve written many articles discussing the evidence of biological harm from nonionizing electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation and radiofrequency radiation (RFR) from wireless technologies.

The video above features an interview I did with Siim Land in February 2020 for his Body Mind Empowerment podcast in which I discuss EMF — what it is, your greatest sources of exposure, how it affects your biology, and how to minimize your exposure. I also review how the telecommunications industry manipulates the truth to keep you unaware of the potential hazards.

The primary aim of modern warfare is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living.

Ever since the end of the nineteenth century, the problem of what to do with the surplus of consumption goods has been latent in industrial society. From the moment when the machine first made its appearance it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery, and therefore to a great extent for human inequality, had disappeared. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations. And in fact, without being used for any such purpose, but by a sort of automatic process — by producing wealth which it was sometimes impossible not to distribute — the machine did raise the living standards of the average human being very greatly over a period of about fifty years at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries.

But it was also clear that an all-round increase in wealth threatened the destruction — indeed, in some sense was the destruction — of a hierarchical society. In a world in which everyone worked short hours, had enough to eat, lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motor-car or even an aeroplane, the most obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared. If it once became general, wealth would confer no distinction. It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste.

But in practice such a society could not long remain stable.

For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away.

In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.

To return to the agricultural past, as some thinkers about the beginning of the twentieth century dreamed of doing, was not a practicable solution. It conflicted with the tendency towards mechanization which had become quasi-instinctive throughout almost the whole world, and moreover, any country which remained industrially backward was helpless in a military sense and was bound to be dominated, directly or indirectly, by its more advanced rivals.

Nor was it a satisfactory solution to keep the masses in poverty by restricting the output of goods. This happened to a great extent during the final phase of capitalism, roughly between 1920 and 1940.

The economy of many countries was allowed to stagnate, land went out of cultivation, capital equipment was not added to, great blocks of the population were prevented from working and kept half alive by State charity. But this, too, entailed military weakness, and since the privations it inflicted were obviously unnecessary, it made opposition inevitable.

The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they must not be distributed. And in practice the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare.

An ex-Mormon-turned-YouTuber is sharing why so many members of her former church look alike.

Alyssa Grenfell, 31, left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah to start a new life in New York City in 2017. Since then, she has been detailing the church’s inner workings on YouTube — including the rules she had to follow, like not having coffee.

In a recent minute-long video, Grenfell said she noticed on social media that many were curious why members of the Mormon Church tend to have a physical resemblance — in other words, “why certain people look Mormon.”

Grenfell pointed out that Ryan Gosling, 43, was born Mormon, noting in her video caption that “he has Mormon face.”

The weaponization of the rule of law has reached a point beyond repair in New York State, with the ongoing trial being waged by District Attorney Alvin Bragg against President Donald Trump.  Even at this late hour, the State has failed to prove 1) how President Trump falsified business records; 2) how the alleged falsification of the business records scheme was criminal; and 3) why that alleged crime should be prosecuted as a felony, rather than a misdemeanor, which is the typical charge for falsification schemes under New York State Law.

Given that President Trump’s alleged wrongdoing is being treated as criminal misconduct, the burden of proof is for the State to prove that Donald Trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for every single element of the asserted crime.  The legal burden of proof of “beyond a reasonable doubt” means that the prosecution must convince the jury that “there is no other reasonable explanation that can come from the evidence presented at trial.”  That incredibly high evidentiary threshold must be established for every single element of the crime alleged. What is more, criminal trials require unanimity on part of the jury; a hung jury will result in a mistrial, ultimately pushing the case back until after the November election, which is not what Bragg wants.

Obviously, the goal of Alvin Bragg and Letitia James is to prosecute – and put President Trump behind bars – as soon as possible (before election day ideally) to sabotage his chances of winning re-election.  President Trump’s re-election appears increasingly like a foregone conclusion with the latest polls consistently putting him in a significant lead over Joe Biden.

President Trump is currently being tried under New York Penal Law 175.05.  The law ordinarily makes it a misdemeanor, not a felony, to falsify business records with “intent to defraud.”  The law permits, however, the District Attorney to upgrade what ordinarily would be considered a misdemeanor to a Class E felony if the intent to defraud is combined with an intent to commit another crime.

Former AG Bill Barr told the FOX News audience on Wednesday that he is going to vote for President Trump in the 2024 election.

Bill Barr said there were two bad choices and he will vote Republican – That the continuation of the Biden agenda is “national suicide.”

Bill Barr: ‘The real threat to liberty, the real threat to our system of liberty are the excesses of the progressive left.  They’re perverting the system of justice and that’s where the danger lies.  The corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left…  I said all along, given two bad choices I think it’s my duty to pick the person who I think will do the least harm to the country. In my mind I will vote the Republican ticket. I think the real danger to the country and real danger to democracy is I say the progressive agenda… Continuation of the Biden agenda is national suicide.”

Yet another Black Lives Matter activist has been convicted of defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In a press release on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio confirmed that Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, was convicted wire fraud and three counts of money laundering following a six-day trial.

The release stated:

According to court documents and testimony, in 2016, Page created a Facebook page for “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta” (“BLMGA”) and registered this organization as a domestic non-profit with the Georgia Secretary of State Corporation’s Division. In 2017, the IRS approved Page’s request granting BLMGA tax-exempt status under Section 503(c)(3) of the tax code, but dissolved this status in 2019.

Page nonetheless accepted donations after falsely portraying BLMGA to the public as a legitimate charity engaged in social justice work, when in fact, it was not. Instead, Page used the money that individual donors gave to BLMGA not for social justice causes, but rather to buy items for his own personal use, such as a house and furniture. Page also committed money-laundering crimes when he bought these items with the donations that he fraudulently obtained.

Joe Biden’s green energy plans just took another hit as three large New York offshore wind projects were scrapped Friday after the state was unable to reach “final agreements” with General Electric despite the fact that the three proposed developments had received provisional awards in October 2023.

NYSERDA, the state authority in charge of the deals, announced Friday that no final agreements could be reached with the three projects that received provisional awards in October 2023. Those bids were all linked to major supply chain investments by General Electric and a larger turbine it planned to build that was aimed at boosting the region’s renewable energy portfolio.

The news is not good for Joe Biden:

[The cancellation is] a major hit to the industry in the state and the nation.

The decision is another setback to New York’s aspirations to achieve 70 percent renewable energy by 2030 and be a hub for the nascent industry in the United States. It will also be another challenge for President Joe Biden’s already likely out-of-reach 30 gigawatt goal for offshore wind by 2030.

NYSERDA issued a complicated and wordy statement that basically just seemed to say, things got real complicated:

“Subsequent to the provisional award announcement, material modifications to projects bid into New York’s third offshore wind solicitation caused technical and commercial complexities between provisional awardees and their partners, resulting in the provisionally awarded parties’ inability to come to terms,” NYSERDA wrote in an announcement.

After winning a significant legal battle against her former employer for wrongful termination, a former elementary school teacher in Henry County, Georgia, is setting her sights on a new goal: a seat on the school board. Sheri Mimbs was fired from Cotton Indian Elementary School in 2017 for refusing to give passing grades even if students had not earned them.

Her six-year battle against the school resulted in her winning a six-figure settlement from her former employer. Mimbs is now seeking to affect change by securing a school board seat.

She says back in 2017 an assistant principal wrote a note to her telling her not to give students grades less than 60, even if they didn’t turn in any work.

“I went to the assistant principal and she was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You need to change those grades. Kids can’t have less than a 60,’” Mimbs described.

Mimbs says after she complained, her contract wasn’t renewed. She sued and won.

“I knew I was being retaliated against,” she said.

The jury ordered the district to pay her six figures in monetary damages for retaliation. It has to pay her attorney’s fees and most importantly it had to reverse her non-renewal. She says that non-renewal was keeping her from getting teaching jobs.

Now after the court victory, Mimbs hopes to get a victory at the polls.

Report comes amid concerns about CCP’s influence, human rights violations…

American universities have entered more than $2.3 billion in contracts with China in the past decade amid on-going concerns about the influence of its communist government on U.S. higher education, a new investigation found.

These contracts included agricultural research regarding orange crops, trainings for airline pilots, and medical trials for a tumor treatment drug developed by a Chinese pharmaceutical company, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The investigation uncovered approximately 2,900 contracts from 2012 and 2024 between Chinese businesses and about 200 U.S. public colleges and universities in all 50 states.

Some involved specialized training, such as $37 million in contracts between Chinese airlines and the University of North Dakota to train and license pilots.

Another $1.8 million in contracts with China’s Institute of Navel Orange at Gannan Normal University and the University of Florida involved researching tree genetics and diseases affecting citrus fruit, according to the investigation.

But others were less specific.

For example, “all three of China’s major government-owned oil companies have funded contracts for $100,000 or more at the University of Texas at Austin, which the school describes only as ‘research activity,’” the investigation found.

The report continued:

Some of the biggest-value China contracts feature franchise-type arrangements for overseas satellite campuses. New York University, which the Education Department database shows has been the largest single recipient of Chinese funding, reported two contracts totaling over $46.5 million for 2021 alone for its Shanghai branch.

The Juilliard School has disclosed over $133 million in such funding over more than a decade for its Tianjin Juilliard School near Beijing, appointed with some 120 Steinway pianos.

In an era where video cameras are ubiquitous — on stoplights, doorbells, cars, and seemingly everywhere else — when something weird happens and there’s no video of it, it smells bad.

This holds especially true when it involves law enforcement who are supposed to be equipped with body cams.

Something stinks down in Arkansas. GOP Senators Tom Cotton and John Boozman, both representing Arkansas, are calling for an investigation after learning that some Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents who were executing a search warrant were not wearing their body cameras, according to KARK-TV.

“The senators say this is a violation of ATF and Justice Department policy,” according to the report.

The Manhattan trial of Donald Trump begins in earnest this week, but the verdict is already in: prosecutors and the judge are guilty of election interference.

I know that’s true because The New York Times said so.

Well, the Gray Lady didn’t put it exactly that way, but a Friday headline hinted at the injustice by declaring: “Trump on Trial vs. Biden on the Trail: An Unusual 2024 Stretch Begins.”

Calling the situation “Unusual” is one way to describe the fact that the incumbent is free to use Air Force One to hit the swing states while the challenger is effectively strapped to a chair during a ginned-up criminal trial.

Among other and better word choices The Times could have used are “outrageous” and “corrupt.”

Those get to the heart of Democrats’ effort to rig the election in Biden’s favor by weaponizing law enforcement and the courts.

The aim is any or all of the following: tie Trump down, dirty him up, bankrupt him and lock him up.

The House of Representatives on Saturday passed what could be landmark legislation that would ban TikTok in the United States unless its parent company agrees to sell the video-sharing app to a U.S.-based company. Some have taken this development as a sign that it is “inevitable” that the bill will become the law of the land.

The proposed legislation, which has its share of proponents and detractors, is aimed at preventing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from covertly accessing the data of Americans using the app. If it becomes law, it could become a pivotal moment related to government involvement in digital communication.

The ban was tied to the vote on a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and has gotten comparatively little attention.

The TikTok bill passed by a vote of 360 to 58…

Roughly 150 million Americans are on TikTok and there have been growing fears among lawmakers about what influence its Chinese Communist owners have on the company.

The app has become quite controversial over recent years. Many of its users promoted Osama Bin Laden and spread pro-Hamas propaganda on the social media platform.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) told reporters that the legislation “represents a bipartisan breakthrough against the CCP’s most powerful tool of information warfare against the United States” and vowed that Congress would not “stand by idly while the CCP freely weaponizes TikTok to corrupt the minds of young Americans, radicalize Americans against their own country, and amplify antisemitism on a scale and at a pace not seen in human history.”

Critics and supporters both present compelling arguments for and against the measures. RedState’s Ben Kew supports the ban, arguing that “Pulling back from a clamp down on Tiktok would be a major mistake” because the app “is an arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and poses a genuine threat to national security through its ability to spy and collect data on the unsuspecting.”

IRS workers charged with stealing to buy luxury goods, fancy cars, travel

Often the Joe Biden administration has claimed that COVID-19 attacked families and workers through no fault of their own, and what was needed was its progressive spending agenda, specifically helping “people of color, immigrants, and low-wage workers.”

In reality, however, Biden’s spending, “billions and counting – has gone to unrelated causes and the administration’s COVID relief program continues to fleece American taxpayers,” according to a report from government watchdog Judicial Watch.

So far some 3,500 defendants have been charged and civil settlements involving 400 disputes have resulted in judgments of more than $100 million, the report said.

You know that Joe Biden is struggling when you see all the steps they have to take to promote him.

I wrote earlier about how he (or the person running his account on X) posted a video of various Kennedy family members endorsing him. That just made it clear how scared and worried Biden has to be about Robert F. Kennedy Jr taking Democratic votes away from him.

But they also put out another ad for Biden that’s getting a lot of mocking and it’s easy to see why.

They have a steelworker try to tell us how he “knows hard work when he sees it,” that when he met Joe Biden he was “as sharp as a knife” Maybe a butter knife. But not anything that can cut through things and get anything done. And as for “hard work,” does the steelworker know how many vacation days Biden has taken and what his schedule generally looks like?  It’s a horrible ad when it ends up making you laugh at their candidate even more.

Our friends over at Twitchy posted about the fun they had at Fox with the ad as well as Biden’s inability to close a box and confusion over ordering a milkshake at a Wawa.

President Biden and others claim that President Trump incited the Capitol Riot, falsely described as an  “insurrection,” on January 6, 2021.  This belief explains Colorado’s failed attempt to remove Trump’s name from the ballot because he is an “insurrectionist,” as well as a national YouGov poll that found that 54% of Americans approved of the Colorado action.  It is now used as a justification for Biden to refuse to debate Trump.  This claim remains a serious problem — not only for Trump, but for obtaining an accurate history of what happened on January 6.

A rational evaluation of Trump’s words and actions, and other factors, demonstrates that this claim is nonsense.

If Trump wanted a riot, why would he repeatedly request National Guard troops for January 6?  On January 3, 2021, President Trump asked Secretary of Defense Miller and General Milley to assign National Guard troops to counter violence on January 6.  Miller responded, “We’ve got a plan and we’ve got it covered.”

Troops could be legally provided only if requested by law enforcement.  The Capitol Police declined the Defense Department’s offer of troops.

The Secret Service, the Marshals Service, Park Police, and the Department of Homeland Security informed Defense “that they did not anticipate needing DoD assistance on January 6th.”

The District of Columbia requested 340 troops, primarily for crowd control at Metro stations and intersections.

On January 5, Trump asked Secretary Miller for 10000 troops “to do what’s required to protect the American people.”

Thus, by January 5, President Trump had not only twice requested national guard troops, but had been assured that the Department of Defense had “a plan and we’ve got it covered.”

A 1969 executive order authorized Secretary Miller to order the District of Columbia National Guard to aid civil authorities under the president’s direction.  Trump‘s prior communications effectively “green-lighted” National Guard deployment in response to subsequent Capitol Police requests.  No further communication was necessary.

When Dexter Reed died in a shootout with Chicago police on March 21, the incident was quickly grafted onto a narrative that began in 2014 after a policeman killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. – namely, that the U.S. faces an epidemic of violence by unbridled cops who do not believe black lives matter. “Killing of Dexter Reed raises questions about Chicago police reform. ‘The message is, go in guns blazing,’” blared a headline in the Chicago Sun-Times.

Reed’s death joins a long list of police shootings that have received wide media coverage and political scrutiny – especially those involving African Americans. Over the years, many police departments embraced reforms, including the use of bodycams, to document incidents – an effort bolstered by a public eager to use smartphones to record the behavior of cops. In 2015, the Washington Post created a database logging every person shot dead by police in the U.S.

The belief was that this attention would make all law enforcement officers, especially the bad ones, think twice before pulling the trigger, and significantly reduce the number of shootings – which stood at 994 the year Brown was shot.

Tucker Carlson said congressmen are “terrified” that intelligence agencies will frame them with “kiddie porn” if they openly oppose “warrantless spying” on an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” released Friday.

Carlson told podcast host Joe Rogan that U.S. lawmakers “told” him that they are “worried” about being punished by intelligence agencies if they oppose reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

“People don’t say that because they’re worried about being punished. They’re worried about someone putting kiddie porn on their computer. Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies. I’m not guessing at that. They’ve told me that — including people on the intel committee, including people who run the intel committee,” Carlson said.

“The people whose job it is to oversee and keep in line these enormous, secretive agencies whose budgets we can’t even know — their ‘black budgets,’” Carlson continued, raising his hands into air-quotes. “They’re the parents, the agencies are the children. They’re afraid of the agencies. That’s not compatible with democracy.”

The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a daunting prediction of the global cancer burden. It estimates more than 35 million new cancer cases in 2050 — a 77% increase from the estimated 20 million cancer cases that occurred in 2022.¹

While WHO named an aging population as a key driver behind the increasing cancer burden, along with tobacco, alcohol, obesity and exposure to air pollution, what they’re ignoring is the concerning trend of turbo cancers that occur shortly after COVID-19 shots.

Cancer Cases Set to Increase Significantly by 2050

The IARC cancer burden estimates are based on the “best sources of data available in [185] countries in 2022.”² That year, there were an estimated 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths, with WHO reporting, “About 1 in 5 people develop cancer in their lifetime, approximately 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women die from the disease.”³

About two-thirds of the new cancer cases and deaths were caused by 10 types of cancer. Lung cancer was most common, followed by female breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and stomach cancer. When broken down by sex, breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed — and the leading cause of cancer death — among women. For men, it was lung cancer.

Lung cancer and colorectal cancer accounted for the second and third most diagnosed types and cause of most deaths among women. However, for men, prostate and colorectal cancers were second and third most common, while liver and colorectal cancer caused the second and third most cancer deaths.⁴

There were also disparities revealed based on human development index (HDI), a statistical tool that assesses three dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge (schooling) and a decent standard of living. According to WHO:⁵

“In terms of the absolute burden, high HDI countries are expected to experience the greatest absolute increase in incidence, with an additional 4.8 million new cases predicted in 2050 compared with 2022 estimates. Yet the proportional increase in incidence is most striking in low HDI countries (142% increase) and in medium HDI countries (99%). Likewise, cancer mortality in these countries is projected to almost double in 2050.”

Why the U.S. government regards Christian conservatives as enemies

“There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.”

National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher has been thoroughly exposed as a radical in recent days as one of NPR’s veteran editors—Uri Berliner—actually told the truth and revealed that the taxpayer-sponsored “news organization” is hopelessly biased toward the progressive viewpoint. For this transgression, he was promptly suspended; he said thank you but take a hike, I’m resigning.

The highly publicized back-and-forth led inquiring minds to take a closer look at Maher’s past, and what they found out is that she’s a radical extremist who thinks the leftist narrative is more important than the actual truth and that those who don’t stick to said narrative should be silenced in the name of “progress.” She has her right to these opinions—but she doesn’t have the right to use our taxpayer money to foist them on the American public.

If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember the famous TV commercials where entrepreneur Victor Kiam would come on the screen and say, “I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company [Remington].” Elon Musk took a similar approach; he values free speech so highly that he shelled out $44 billion in 2022 to buy social media platform Twitter (now X), in part to fight rampant big-tech censorship. He promptly canned 80 percent of the company’s workforce, reinstated accounts that had been banned, and completely overhauled the company’s free speech policies.

On April 19, 1775, seventy-eight-year-old Captain Samuel Whittemore crouched behind a stone wall next to his home. Whittemore’s old fingers tightly gripped his musket and his pistol. A sword hung from his belt. A phalanx of Redcoats looted homes as they retreated back to Boston. The senior Patriot, who had resisted tyranny and the rule of the Crown for years, planned to fight to the death to defend his home.

When the British troops approached, he blasted away, slaying two Redcoats and wounding or killing a third with his sword. The Redcoats then unleashed their fury on Whittemore, shooting him in the face with a .69 caliber ball, taking off part of his cheekbone, and bayoneting him six times. To finish the job, they bludgeoned him with the butts of their muskets, shouting, “We have killed the old rebel!” Whittemore lay in a pool of his own blood. His hat and clothes “were shot through in many places.”

Miraculously, the old Patriot stubbornly refused to die. Brushing off the flesh wounds, he would live to the ripe old age of ninety-six. This week marks the anniversary of Whittemore’s epic stand and the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Two hundred and forty-nine years ago, farmers, tradesmen, laborers, and mariners–Americans of all stripes–came together to defend themselves against the most professional army in the world. April 19, 1775, marked the beginning of an epic journey for a band of brothers who risked EVERYTHING for a nation yet to be born. Over the course of nearly eight years, many of these Americans marched thousands of miles, often shoeless, unpaid, and starving, to fight for freedom and liberties most Americans today take for granted. Their resolute stand matters in light of multiple current events and relentless threats to American liberty.

The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on China on Wednesday.

But things went off the rails when Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) tried to use his time to bash former President Donald Trump to deflect from questions being raised about Joe Biden and his family’s dealings with China. Raskin then claimed the impeachment inquiry against Biden had been dropped when Comer interrupted him to say that wasn’t true.

Comer remained calm throughout Raskin’s loss. He asked Raskin if the bank statement was “Russian disinformation” and if you could discount the testimony of witness Tony Bobulinski.

Then Raskin tried to deflect to Trump again. That’s when Comer smoked him, saying they had an obsession about Russia and Trump, “You need therapy. You all need therapy, Mr. Raskin.”

That really set Raskin off. “You need therapy! You’re involved with the deranged politician.” Has he looked at Joe Biden lately while he’s talking about derangement? Your guy is confusing Haifa and Rafah and telling Israel “not to move” on their own cities while telling tall tales about his uncle and cannibals.

A wild shootout at an Atlanta gas station with one gunman appearing to wield an AK-47 was caught on camera, with three bystanders left injured.

The gunfight broke out on Tuesday just after 8.20pm at a Circle K gas station in Decatur between at least four men, with bullets flying across the forecourt.

Three innocent bystanders were caught in the crossfire. Two of the men, aged 32 and 44, were hospitalized with their injuries, and a third was grazed by a bullet.

One of the victims, Atif Ray, was shot twice while sitting in his car texting, he told WSBTV: ‘I was looking down at my phone. But I know what it sounds like. That’s the world we live in. It’s scary.’

Police arrested Darius Morris, 34, and he was charged with three counts of aggravated assault – they are still searching for the other suspects.

The 2024 election feels very different than the 2020 election and we see examples of changing attitudes every day.

Addison Smith of Newsmax recently spoke to a black voter in Philadelphia, a famously blue city, who explained why the country needs to reelect Trump in 2024.

Trump is making huge gains with minority voters in this election cycle and this voter does a great job of explaining why this is happening. No one has confidence in Joe Biden’s ability to lead the country.

Smith also spoke with a guy who broke it down in terms that would resonate with everyone on Thursday in Philadelphia. He pointed out how they were having the event there for Biden and that there were a lot of Americans “struggling,” but Biden was helping illegal aliens, “When are you going to help American people?” he asked.

Sportscaster Stephen Smith has been lighting up the Democrats over how they have been dealing with former President Donald Trump, and he’s blasting the lawfare that has been employed against him.

My colleague Bob Hoge reported on some of it already.

But Smith wasn’t done yet. He appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on Thursday.

Joe Biden this week said a child gave him the middle finger: “It happens all the time.”

“You — I’ve never thought I’d see a time when I’m going through a — a neighborhood or a rural town that’s in the west and see big signs that s- — have a Trump sign in the middle that says “F Biden” and having a little kid standing with his middle finger — seven years old, eight years old,” Biden said in Scranton, Pennsylvania this week.

“Well, I promise, it happens all the time,” Biden added.

Appearing on election lawyer Marc Elias’ podcast “Democracy Docket” in an episode that dropped Friday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton whined about her 2016 election loss and hurled baseless charges against former President Donald Trump, accusing him of wanting to be like Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and murder his enemies.

Even for the divisive former First Lady, this was pretty obnoxious stuff.

A fawning Elias welcomed the “true American hero” who has “been right about everything” to his podcast, and promptly asserted that 2016 was rigged and it was the Russians who handed Trump the presidency. Guess he hasn’t heard of the Mueller Report, which proved no such thing. In fact, the infamous Steele Dossier, which Hillary’s campaign financed, has been thoroughly debunked and is basically hot garbage.

But when Hillary got on the subject of Trump and his potential second term, a screw seemed to come loose:

Putin does what [Trump] would like to do. Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists into exile, rule without any check or balance.

That’s what Trump really wants.

There, she said it. She flat-out alleged her former opponent and the presumptive ’24 GOP nominee for the presidency is a wannabe murderer. This is truly sick stuff. Ironically, earlier in the podcast, she had been praising Joe Biden for not using inflammatory rhetoric against his opponents, a ridiculous lie given that Biden routinely demonizes half the country, those he sneeringly calls “the MAGA crowd.”

Watch (I’ve cued it about to the 35-minute mark where her Putin remarks begin). [My question: why can’t the multimillionaire former United States Secretary of State afford better lighting? Just have to ask.]

Joe Biden seems to be getting worse lately. Perhaps it’s because so many things are blowing up because of his failed policies, especially in the Middle East. Perhaps it’s also because they’re making him run around to more events to campaign so they’re upping what he has to do and it’s showing. Perhaps his condition is just getting worse. I tend to think it’s all the above.

Whatever it is, you can see an increase in his incoherence and confusion, particularly over the past couple of weeks.

But they’re still playing this game where they tell him to jog a few steps to prove how vigorous he is.

Here he is speaking at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers’ Construction and Maintenance Conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) introduced legislation on Friday that targets former President Donald Trump and would take away his Secret Service protection if he is convicted in his trial.

In a post on X, the House Homeland Security Committee Democrats revealed that Thompson, the top member of the committee and the former chairman of the now-defunct January 6 Select Committee, had introduced legislation that would ensure “convicted felons sentenced to prison” would have no Secret Service protection.

In a statement, Thompson said:

Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee-even a former President. It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality. Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment-and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.

Earlier this week, a New York Times/Siena poll found that more than half of voters believe Joe Biden’s economy is “poor,” and a mere “4 percent” said that things are “excellent.” (If you are in this 4 percent, please contact us so we can interview you and ask you how you drew that conclusion… and where you procure your hallucinogens.)

Equally important: only 25 percent of respondents said that Joe Biden’s America is on the right track vs. 64 percent who said “wrong direction” when asked by the pollsters.

So, we have a consensus. The country is not moving in the right direction, and the economy is a major a factor. What’s more, as those of you who have kept up with the Breitbart Business Digest this week know, inflation is actually going up.

…But the Democrats Hate “Bad Orange Man” Even More

Yet, the conversation in the media this week – new, legacy, and online – was not focused around Joe Biden and Bidenomics. Instead, we were treated to wall-to-wall coverage of he who is known as “The Bad Orange Man.”
