Population Control versus Population Growth
Both dynamics can not be true
Robert W Malone MD, MS
Apr 28, 2025
https://www.malone.news/p/population-control-versus-population
I am not an economist, and I don’t claim to be one. But I am a scientist and as such, I have a pretty darn good BS detector. Frankly, I have become profoundly distrustful of the whole modeling industry, whether it be for public health, astrophysics, epidemiology, or economics. All are driven by dogmas in paradigms that don’t shift easily and are influenced by the politics and power structures within the discipline, as outlined by Thomas Kuhn in his seminal book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.”
[snip]
United Nations Agenda 2030 discusses planned and equitable regional development, urbanization, internal migration, and international cooperation in population redistribution of peoples, which they view as necessary for economic stability and population control.
This is all predicated on the Keynesian and Malthusian principles that migration of people is necessary to 1) increase economic prosperity in industrialized nations and 2) a decrease the earth’s population is necessary for the earth’s to be “sustainable.”
This is all based on flawed economic theories and modeling.
[snip]
Programs to redistribute land and wealth in Africa-especially in South Africa, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe-have largely been unsuccessful. The general pattern is missed targets, corruption, failed projects, and persistent or worsening inequality.
There is a growing consensus that wealthy nations can not feed the world to lower poverty rates. Food assistance programs are often seen as opportunities used to empower political allies, feed one ethnic group over another, and often have done little to reduce hunger. What these food assistance programs have often done is to decimate localized food production and destroy traditional farming practices, which are frequently much more environmentally friendly since they have stood the test of time in each local environment and context.
Another recent example that demonstrates the lie in this unproven belief system involves the redistribution of secondhand clothing. The naive thesis is that the economies of poorer (primarily African) nations will benefit from an influx of cheap, second-hand clothing from Western countries. The vast amounts of clothing sent over have overwhelmed local markets, making it difficult for domestic textile and garment industries to compete. This has led to massive declines in local manufacturing, job losses, and stunted growth of homegrown clothing manufacturers in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria.
In many cultures, children are expected to care for their elderly parents. It is an obligation and a moral duty. It then makes sense that having more children in such a society is paramount to a prosperous retirement. So, what happens when a culture that traditionally has little energy resources, which means food is more challenging to grow, suddenly has a lot of free food dropped off in their village each month? The answer is obvious: it can lead to population growth- in reality a population explosion.
Here are a few summary charts that illustrate the point:

“United Nations Agenda 2030 discusses planned and equitable regional development, urbanization, internal migration, and international cooperation in population redistribution of peoples, which they view as necessary for economic stability and population control.”
This article perfectly illustrates why WE cannot allow the mass migration into this country.
“Mass Immigration Without Assimilation Is A Recipe For National Suicide”
Excerpt:
Recently, a video clip from 2022 resurfaced on social media of Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar standing in front of the flag of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan claiming that “change is coming” and forthrightly calling for ethnic and Muslim sectarianism in Scottish politics. Sarwar doesn’t mince words: He wants his people to take control of every level of government in Scotland.
“We will only truly get real power, not if we just have more Pakistanis sitting in council chambers and parliaments, but actually having more Pakistanis and South Asians sitting in the corridors of power making the decisions,” said Sarwar.
Notice, too, the identitarian language. When Sarwar says that the time has come for “South Asian communities” (a euphemism for Pakistani Muslim immigrants) to “lead countries,” he doesn’t mean lead countries in South Asia. He means the time has come for Pakistani Muslims to lead the countries they have culturally and politically colonized through mass immigration — in this case, Scotland and England.
Despite what the left claims, multiculturalism doesn’t produce “strength through diversity,” or a common civic culture of shared interests, or any other such platitudes. It produces what we see in Britain and much of Europe: an aggressive species of identity politics which, under conditions of mass immigration from non-western societies, ends up importing entire communities whose customs and way of life are inimical to that of the host country.
For example, when someone like Sarwar talks about the “South Asian community” getting to decide what’s taught in Scottish schools, what he means is that Muslim immigrants from Pakistan will soon get to decide the curriculum — not just for their children but for all schoolchildren in Scotland.
Once they have that power, does anyone seriously think they will refrain from imposing an Islamist agenda, not just in schools but in society at large? Of course they won’t.

Sobering article.
Problem is the politicians ALREADY ALLOWED IT which means how do we fix it .
You can read hundred’s of articles about what mass immigration has done to this country going back to the 1980’s and 1990’s below . All completely ignored by our politicians.
The Strange Death Of The United States Via Immigration
“Diversity within a nation destroys unity and leads to civil wars,”. “Immigration, a benefit during the youth of a nation, can act as a disease in its mature state. Too much internal diversity in large nations has led to violence and disintegration. We are now in the process of destabilizing our own country. The magic words of destabilizers are ‘diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’.”
https://newswithviews.com/?s=illegal+immigration
They are ‘invasive species’, like kufzu, capable of raoid growth and overwhelming and choking out the native species..
If I had to accept foreigners give me God fearing people . What really destroys countries is a certain group that openly states on a daily basis that the U.S Constitution means nothing to them as they worship a different God and a different set of laws .
I got near the end of my comment and I was booted out of the Treehouse, and not by the moderators.
Anyone else having problems?
Seems like the site is being targeted.
People have been writing articles about the above for decades saying the exact same things but our leaders have ignored it . Our biggest problem now is not the flow coming in because thats been dealt with by Trump . Our biggest issue is how to get rid of the tens of millions we already got because best case scenario at this time is approx 1 million removed by the end of Trumps second term which is better than nothing but doesn’t come remotely close to making a big difference .
It is for this reason that I want the people responsible for the invasion prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law , they knew beforehand that this would cripple the USA with no way to fix it .
USSC made it clear , helping illegals into the country and supporting them in any way are felonies . Biden and crew should be doing life .
How ‘bout we have less scientists around to jam us up with their smartass ideas??
“Scientists”
Simply stated .. Project 2030 is like squeezing a balloon.
The air in one part of the balloon just moves to another part of the balloon, carrying with it all the good and bad of the displaced air. The amount of air in the balloon actually decreases, slightly, as some always leaks out of the balloon. The US and EU represent the part of the balloon where ALL the displaced air is moving to occupy. The Part the UN Plan leaves out is that WE (in the US and EU) are the air that is supposed to “leaks out” of the balloon.
To be scientific (sarc//) …. Think of it a NET ZERO on a down sloping curve.
Mass migration = Europe taken over by Muslims.
Mass immigration = 20 million illegals in U.S.
Only difference is demographics due to Geography.
Same intent
Facilitated by same entities

They’re hiding something: All of Europe was ‘seconds’ away from total blackout…
April 29, 2025
https://revolver.news/2025/04/theyre-hiding-something-all-of-europe-was-seconds-away-from-total-blackout/
From the second article by Shellenberger.
“The green agenda has always been about power, and the elites will happily leave you freezing in the dark to get it.”
This is precisely why they concocted the whole notion of the coming Ice Age to Global Warming to Climate Change. Pure power in the form of fear. It doesn’t hurt that the elites that push this nonsense have made $Trillions off the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the World.
I remember listening to John Kerry’s daughter, Vanessa, at a WEF meeting discussing “Climate Change”. In her exchange she asked the question of how they could use the same scare tactics that were used for the Covid plandemic to get folks more on board with their climate agenda. Power play using fear of the unknown. It doesn’t matter that virtually none of their predictions of apocalyptic disasters has occurred. They will just keep coming up with more fear porn.
re
Great link. The comments are interesting. And informative.
A power grid that can be taken down by a change of .3 Herz is a sitting duck.
I pray for Europeans to wake up to their impending doom. A power outage lasting ten days (rumored to be the amount of time required to implement a full black start) in Europe – just imagine. No clean water, no trains, no ability to purchase anything (not enough cash on hand), no gas, no food transport, no lights, full on crime and chaos.
Only the Swiss, with their mandatory in home supplies, would come out okay.
And any of our military bases and members over there would be sitting ducks.
They have their own backup generators.
Cancel mRNA? How Many More Warnings Do We Need? w/ Nicolas Hulscher & Chris Fenton – Ask Dr. Drew (1:10:32)
Dr. Drew
29 Apr 2025
Fundamentally, “mRNA” re-programs your body. Whereas a single virus particle might re-program a single cell to start producing copies of itself, “mRNA” causes a vast number of your cells to do the same – including those that should be well beyond the “outer defensive layers.”
The result is: “autoimmune disease.” The lists are endless: Crohn’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Guillian-Barré, Type-1 Diabetes.
Upon taking this deliberately-engineered poison into your system, your body’s immune system began to attack itself – not in response to any actual “COVID virus,” but in response to the injection. It will react everywhere it finds anything to attack: the design presumes that nothing has compromised the outer defenses.
Have you heard of eugenics? The hideous “surplus population” people?
It’s perfectly obvious that, when they called for “hospital ships” and “emergency hospitals in sports arenas,” they thought they knew. They would unleash their virus, then “ride to the rescue” (purposely excluding any alternative therapy options), inject their poison, and …
… Millions of “surplus population” – including you and your family (who cares?) – would die.
And thus, “the planet would be saved,” while they continued to spend $1 million dollars per day because they simply didn’t have anything better to do with it.
Now we know.
The German Nazis in WW2 were “eugenesists,” too.
This is yet another sobering article from The Ethical Skeptic. This man is responsible for Houston We Have a Problem Parts 1-3. Apparently we now have states, counties, and even hospitals that refuse to produce data on excess mortality rates since the MRNA vaccine. They halted their reporting at the end of 2024. I’m pretty sure we can guess the reason.
Excerpts:
Week 8 2025 Alert and Update: Several US state mortality reporting counties and hospital networks ceased reporting their mortality data as of the week ending 9 November 2024, apparently as a reaction to the outcome of the US Presidential Election
As of Week 51 of 2024, 4.83 years into the Covid-19 Pandemic and its aftermath, 1,727,990 excess deaths have been recorded to date. Now certainly, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was a deadly pathogen, itself 6.6 times more deadly than the typical annual mortality total for all influenza viruses combined. However, as the reader will infer from the material below, it was the panic-fueled, and in some cases malicious, actions of those few in power which have served to precipitate the larger part of total excess mortality during the pandemic, as well as post-pandemic, periods.
Moreover, that disruption, lockdowns, iatrogenics, denial of treatment, along with our quod fieri final solution, have collectively served to kill the majority (namely 1,346,316 or 78.0%) of the US Citizens who died during the 249 weeks of the pandemic and its aftermath thus far. It is clear, despite the original danger presented by the Wuhan through Delta variants of the SARS-Cov-2 virus, that this circumstance quickly escalated into a man-made tragedy within the United States and other Western Countries.

Trump administration revokes 4K visas for students with criminal records for assault, robbery: ‘Breaking the law with no consequences’
April 28, 2025
https://nypost.com/2025/04/28/us-news/trump-admin-revokes-4k-visas-for-students-with-criminal-records/
The Trump administration has revoked the visas of 4,000 foreign students in its first 100 days — the bulk of which have committed crimes in the US including arson, assault and robbery, The Post has learned.
More than 90% of the rogue students who saw their visas nixed had committed crimes such as arson, wildlife and human trafficking, child endangerment, domestic abuse, DUI and robbery, a senior State Department source told The Post Monday.
More than 500 of them had assault raps.
NCAA says hold my beer-we can outperform that
Cut off ALL foreign funding for universities. It is outright bribery to ensure their students get preferential admission over US citizens.
We have too many “pro-Qatar” people in high places for that to happen.
Yes, foreign lobbying should also be cut out.
You mean the NATO/CIA Colony of Qatar? That Qatar?
Oh.
(*Its not Muslim Brotherhood Headquarters in spite of that, but because of it.)
I assume these crimes were mostly committed in Democrat run sanctuary cities with colleges. The Democrat Party the party of illegal aliens, criminal foreign students here on a visa, MS-13 and TDA!!! Yet the illegal Biden Administration did nothing!!! Why are there so many foreign students, up to 40%, in our colleges and universities like CUNY and Columbia to begin with??? What is needed is to make our colleges and universities MAGA and America First places of education not leftist indoctrination centers stacked with leftist, radical, LGBTQ professors who hate America!!! JMO
Colleges are businesses. They can educate foreign students except when the students should not be in the country due to their behavior or risk profile. Bonding might be required.
American college graduates should typically have received at least 17 years of education and be prepared to provide for themselves and the country.
Paying or borrowing tens of thousands of dollars for tuition justifies the need to do lots of research on prospective colleges. Many colleges are now relying on lame claims to fame.
Any day now the colleges will offer degrees in “Influencer Career Studies.”
The further dumbing down of our young people. 🤮
The foreign students can’t come here without our State Department say so.
Nice to see he’s using the same name I use for the senile CCP-compromised puppet installed in the WH by the oh so conveniently timed “accidental” virus release that destroyed the reelection chances of CCP hardliner Trump, permanently established voting methods that would continue to advantage the left, and stopped cold the worst revolt against the CCP since Tienanmen Square taking place in Hong Kong.

God works in mysterious ways. Had Trump won the 2020 election (which, of course he did …), he would not have “passed through the refining fire.” His enemies would not have fully revealed themselves.
In their desperation (and, Biden’s unconstrained greed), they abused an old man and an “autopen.” They played all their cards. They demonstrated the depth of their depravity. They showed what 💀they would try to do – twice – to retain power.
In so doing, they secured Trump’s “Hero’s Quest.”
100% and I for one feel ever so grateful.
Cheers!
Trump won in a major way only in the electoral votes:
Trump – 49.8% of the popular vote
Harris – 48.3% of the popular vote

Only a Collapse and Total Reboot Can Fix Our Bloated Government System
NOVEMBER 14, 2016
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tony-corvo/2016/11/14/only-a-collapse-and-total-reboot-can-fix-our-bloated-government-system-n48938
Excerpt:
Conservatives keep voting for candidates thinking that they will fix the bugs, but let’s look at what this approach would take. In one form or another we will have to:
1) Elect at least a generation of conservative supermajorities in both chambers of congress. They have to be supermajorities because parliamentary rules allow for political minority actions to stop simple majority legislation.
2) We will have to elect a string of conservative presidents to work with the conservative congresses. We can’t have activist presidents who govern by executive actions in order to bypass congress. [which is the only, “last ditch” way Trump can accomplish ANYTHING significant and even that is being obstructed by a judicial coup that was intentionally put in place to deal with any boat rocker POTUS like him – W]
3) True constitutionalists must be nominated and approved to the Supreme Court.
4) Conservatives will have to control at least 37 state legislatures, because sooner or later we will need to make constitutional amendments.
The long term fixes to trade that Trump is attempting must result in short term pain and the return of industry to the US is not a short term thing.
If the economic pain isn’t over by the mid-terms, I expect the Dimocrat half of the UniParty will take the intentionally microscopic majority from the RINO half of the Uniparty at which point the CONgress will be even more compromised against Trump than it currently is ALONG WITH the already compromised SCOTUS, compromised District Courts, compromised cabinet agencies, compromised media, and the VAST, compromised administrative state.
IMO, Trump is just a speed bump, but that’s still vastly preferable to what would have slithered into the WH if he hadn’t won.
You believe those vote totals are real? I don’t.
Makes little difference. Take a MILLION votes off the Harris side and see that percentages don’t change much.
Face facts. Just as has been the case throughout human history enabling pols to do what they do, you are surrounded by a HUGE percentage of zero to low information voters with zero critical thinking skills who simply vote for a party. How many people here, vastly more informed than most, voted straight ticket Rs before Trump woke them up to the UniParty?
I woke up in the mid 90s. Many conservatives still haven’t. Note how many times many of the 24 Liberty Score D and F-rated RINOs in the Senate have been reelected.
In this video she points out stupid contradictions on the same ballot seen during manual recounts – voting for both far right and far left candidates on the same ballot.

You believe Harris only stole a million votes by inflating her own numbers or stealing from President Trump? I don’t.
Good. I hope our President deals with Canada as he should. If so, Canada’s economy will tank and that Country will become a far bigger mess than it already is.
Things need to get FAR worse before most people wake up. Especially the liberal white women who live in their suburbs mostly protected from the disaster that they are voting for.
A quick disaster is much better than being a frog in water that is slowly heated to a boil…

Be certain the left is going to flip out as America and Americanism keep making a comeback. They “hate” this country, they “hate” God, they “hate” the American people, they “hate” themselves…hate is what motivates them.
Because of this, it makes everything that they say or do is justified, the more absurd the more we’ll get of the lunacy. Sexual confusion, 3rd world invaders are immigrants, Nazi comparisons, we all know the incessant rattle.

The Left Wing Libtard people mainly “hate” themselves. They are incapable of rationale, judgement and commonsense. They rather walk a mile to hear a lie when they could have stood still and heard the truth.
What you will notice with Libtards is they have no sense of humor. They take everything seriously and most of all themselves seriously. They can’t stand being ignored. They are an “in your face” type of people.
🎯Yeah they don’t give off warm fuzzies for sure!!! They can be easily triggered even a simple red MAGA hat worn in public can set them off!!! JMO
Those are the exact sheeple that want more government to save them from themselves. Ignorance is bliss in their minds.

The cat in your picture is not “Unsinkable Sam”. That is “Blackie” the ship’s cat for the British battleship, HMS Prince of Wales, that Winston Churchill is aboard. Tied up alongside an American Navy ship, everyone was worried Blackie would desert ship. Churchill was a big time cat lover.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship%27s_cat#Blackie
Oscar was the Bismarck’s ship’s cat. When the Bismarck was sunk by the British, Oscar deserted the Kriegsmarine (sp) and joined the crew of the HMS Cossack, a British destroyer. When the Cossack was sunk by a U-Boat, Oscar took up residence on the HMS Ark Royal. When the Ark Royal was sunk, Oscar was stationed at the British Naval Base at Gibraltar. When the war ended, Oscar, had a new name and was stationed at a sailor’s home in England.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship%27s_cat#Unsinkable_Sam
Boogywstew, thank you for the short History lesson about the cats on ships. Have a wonderful day.
Here’s a story about a ship’s cat, “Mrs Chippy”, who was actually a male cat. “Chippy” is British slang for a carpenter and Mrs Chippy belonged to the ship’s carpenter. The cat’s owner died broken hearted over the loss of his cat. 29 years after lying in an unmarked grave, the carpenter was given a headstone and 74 years after his death a life size bronze statue of Mrs Chippy was placed on his grave.

Thanks for the photo cn. There is something to the “nine lives” for cats.

So, the “The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU)’s management is coming out in lockstep with the globalist / communists against President Trump’s tariffs.
“Yup, they’ve got him this time…… for sure ….. just watch.”
___________________________________________
Just a reminder of some of their predictions from days-of-yore:
“2022 The “candidate splinter strategy” by the RINOs will defeat President Trump in the primaries …. no worry.
Desantxx will be the presidential nominee …. all the RINO $$ people guarantee it.
If all else fails, there will be the law-fare’s multiple lawsuits in multiple states over 2023-2024 to keep him off of the campaign trail and in the court room and / or in jail.
President Trump will never be the nominee at the convention, the RINOs have a secret plan to stop him.
The dems are going to keep control of the house in 2022… take it to the bank … pee-low-ski guarantees it.
Biden will beat Trump in November, 2024 with the same cheatin’ machine they used in 2020 … the not-so-supreme court will help, again.
The dems are going to get control of the house and keep the senate in 2024 … no doubt.”
___________________________________________
Of course, none of those dire globalist / communist predictions came true. President Trump won the primaries, the convention and the general election, hugely.
On the way, he did a hostile takeover of the RNC and the MAGA / America First candidates retook the house in 2022 and held it in 2024 while picking up the senate.
So, as usual, plan for the worse but remember: President Trump’s MAGA / America First movement still has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and this isn’t President Trump’s first rodeo with unions.
ps Senator Rand Paul and the ILWU leadership are globalist birds-of-a-feather — surprise, surprise.
President Trump had a great 100th Day Rally last night.
MAGA isn’t just our motto, it is our duty/1
of course those who unload the massive chinese imports are against making ‘things’ in the US again.

Congress is back from two weeks off, and I searched for some news about what is going on with them. No conservative news sources could I find, reporting on Congress. The leftist media, as usual, is reporting interviews with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, et al and distorting what they say, creating the appearance of conflict. Natch. Will someone from our side please go and interview them?
I seriously wish they would get to work turning President Trump’s Executive Orders into LAW! It’s been 100 days and hundreds of amazing EOs. What exactly are they waiting for? This is starting to feel like 2017 all over again.
They have to thread the needle to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill.” It will legislate all the cuts done by DOGE, and codify the Executive Orders, it is said. It is in second markup in the House. The Senate does not seem to be doing much, but it’s hard to tell. We need to have our people report what is going on, rather than just respond to what the left puts out.
Congress back from vacation and no one noticed any difference.
why did PDJT not make recess appointments of withheld prosecutor nominees in NY ?

This Judge’s dissent in a DC Circuit court ruling that President Trump could not fire CFPB employees is spot on correct.
“DC Circuit Court Panel Temporarily Blocks Trump’s Mass Firings at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – Trump Judge Issues Scathing Dissent”
Excerpts:
“The district court overstepped our stay. Rather than remedy the judicial error, today’s order hamstrings the Executive and prevents the CFPB from downsizing until the merits of the appeal are resolved. The lack of judicially manageable standards in this posture is a reason to leave execution of the laws to the Executive, not the courts. I respectfully dissent,” Judge Rao wrote.
Judge Rao went off on Amy Berman Jackson and said the execution of laws including the management of administrative agencies is committed to Executive Branch officials under the direction of the President.
“The district court’s approach turns the separation of powers on its head. The execution of the laws, including the management of administrative agencies, is committed to Executive Branch officials under the direction of the President. See U.S. CONST. art. II, § 3 (requiring the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”). When agency action is challenged, courts have an essential obligation to say what the law is. But whatever the merits of this underlying lawsuit, the district court cannot erase the boundaries between the courts and the Executive by setting up a temporary judicial receivership of the CFPB. As the Supreme Court has admonished, “it is not the role of courts, but that of the political branches, to shape the institutions of government in such fashion as to comply with the laws and the Constitution.” Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 349 (1996); see also Dan Dobbs, Law of Remedies § 2.9(5) (2d ed. 1993) (“[J]udicial control of legislative or executive branch decisions interferes substantially with the separation of powers system of government. If the judicial interference is substantial, judges themselves may lose their distinctive judicial character if they become managers of executive departments by way of injunction.”).” Judge Rao wrote.

Benz-Pilled is the ultimate red pill.
Our situation is not just FUBAR, it is FUBACOR (F’ed Up Beyond Any Chance of Repair). Too many rat tunnels with too many entrances, exits, and breeding chambers funded by hundreds of billions of dollars chasing trillions of dollars of your money and new debt accrued on your tab. An international Gordian Knot.
The NGO Supergroup Who Lobbies Congress To Give Themselves More Money (42:47)
Mike Benz
Apr 29, 2025
My analysis of @DataRepublican’s incredible thread on the Global Leadership Coalition, the 30 year old supergroup made up of the biggest USAID-funded NGOs (and the spooks and corporations behind them) who lobby Congress to give themselves more money.
Sonsab!tches!
there is ALWAYS a chance. it is just a question of what the people are willing to do to restore the republic. the answer is not always pretty, but difficult/painful/hard is different than saying impossible…
At 23:24:
“Achieving democratic stability” means stamping out populism and arresting everyone from the Law and Justice Party [in Poland – W], and right underneath that “building economic prosperity by developing international markets and expanding exports.” So, everybody wins except the taxpayer I guess, right, cuz we’re taking taxpayer money to give money to the military for the wars and to give money to USAID to give to the NGO’s to install governance programs [“Rule of Law” programs meaning rule OVER elected pols via unelected, installed, partisan judges; sound familiar? – W] to make profits for the businesses. So they get the lithium, they get the cobalt, they get the aluminum, they get the copper, they get the gold, they get the steel, they get the uranium, they get the oil, they get the gas, they get the rare earth minerals, they get the wheat. Sounds great. Why don’t you pay for it yourself? Why don’t the businesses pay the NGO’s to go out and do that instead of us the taxpayers paying USAID? Oh, because you want your profits subsidized! You want to use the battering ram of USAID, the battering ram of the State Department, the battering ram of the Pentagon to secure it for you. So you, the business, gets the muscle of the military, the diplomatic influence of the State Department, the NGO swarm created by USAID, and the money from the taxpayers. What do the taxpayers get when you’ve shipped your labor force to foreign countries and you’ve shipped your manufacturing plants to foreign countries? You don’t even get jobs for it. It’s a heist.”

The Winners and Losers in 21st Century America
Statistical games can be played to mask the realities of our neofeudal economy, but “narrative control” can’t obscure the facts or the banquet of consequences that these realities have set.
Charles Hugh Smith
https://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-winners-and-losers-in-21st-century.html
Not everyone in America gained ground as a result of the rampant hyper-financialization and hyper-globalization of the 21st century. Let’s begin our analysis of who gained ground and who lost ground in the year 2001, when China entered the WTO (World Trade Organization) and offshoring / globalization shifted into high gear and when the Federal Reserve began ramping up its financialization / monetary manipulation–oops, sorry, policy interventions.
The top 1% and the top 10% gained ground. The bottom 90% lost ground, especially the bottom 50%. Wage earners lost ground, while corporate insiders, financiers, speculators using leverage and those lucky enough to be born long enough ago to buy assets at pre-bubble valuations gained ground.
If you want to argue with these facts, argue with the Federal Reserve Database. All these charts are drawn from the St. Louis Federal Reserve FRED Database.
[big snip]
They also want cheap, hardworking illegal alien labor that by virtue of their illegal status can’t complain about work conditions or join unions and whose supplemental medical and food assistance is paid for by taxpayers. They can also be easily replaced if they gripe.
The documentation of aliens can’t be checked for any fraudulent nature because, as I’ve previously pointed out here in detail, there is a US Code that effectively makes it “harassment” to do so which a firm was actually fined for by the Manchurian Candidate’s DO’J’, proving that that IS the intent of that offset paragraph in the code which also gives employers protection in hiring illegals because they MUST accept without question documentation “which appears on its face to be valid”. Wink, wink.
The single source designated as responsible for fixing that code as defined IN the code if the code is found to be defective? The POTUS. So, Trump could fix that overnight which would result in every illegal with fraudulent documentation being discovered ASAP. Of course, that would destroy the economy for while, so it isn’t done.
That’s the same reason this US Code which has been around since the 50s isn’t enforced which could put mayors, governors, heads of NGOs and anyone else involved in prison:
8 U.S. Code § 1324 – Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324
SO, the current methods being used to export illegal aliens are BY FAR the least efficient because to export them rapidly would greatly harm the economy.
Absolute unconstitutional THEFT.
Every American taxpayer should be given shares in the companies benefiting from the theft.
It’s all so Incestuous! NGO Supergroup funded by Soros and Bill Gates Lobbies Congress for more money to USAID so they can give it to NGOs! Everybody gets rich except the American Taxpayer.
On behalf of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we are very saddened to announce the passing of the Center’s founder, David Horowitz. After a lengthy battle with cancer, David passed yesterday at the age of 86.
RIP David Horowitz.
Good honest, decent, honorable and very intelligent, capable and educated man.

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/04/29/congress/republicans-balk-at-new-car-fee-proposal-00317701
Republicans are the dumbest, I swear. This is the Republican-led Transportation committee proposing this fee. R’s not cool with the millionaire tax but want to come after the little guy with am effing car tax? Have these people lost their ever loving minds? WTF is wrong with these people? I bet next they will lower the 1099 requirement to anything sold. Spit.
I detest the republicans and I despise the democrats, some days it’s the other way around.
We all need to stop saying GOPe is dumb. They know what they are doing
This IS the Republicans.
Indeed. It was a Republican party consultant, that came up with “Republicans, the party of Stupid”.
He also popularised using the term “Independent” to lbel those who register as “no party affiliation”.
The R party was sensin a lot of dissention/disatisfaction from the rank and file.
Party of stupid distracted away from the truth, that all they do is intentional.
And, “Indrpendent” SOUNDS good,..doesn’t everyone want to think of themselves as Independent?
Encouraging dissenters to LEAVE the party, insured they would not use the precinct strategy to do a hostile tskeover from within.
And it worked. Indiesare 2/3 lean MAGA, IF they all Registered R, they could easily overwhelm and outvote the RINO’s.
well, we keep voting for them, so….
Another fee that is designed to “eventually” replace the gasoline tax.
As if they’ll actually eliminate the gasoline (any) tax.
Just look at the history of the telephone excise tax since 1898 for a likely comparison to the gasoline tax. Repealed, reinstated, adjusted numerous times and not simply done away with for good.
You know what would be a great idea?
All the fuel excise taxes already apportioned and collected for highway maintenance and improvements to actually pay for those things. Instead, it is wasted on other things like building bicycle lanes in congested areas. Then there’s paying double, triple or more on projects that should by all rights cost less.
Ditto vaporware like Newsom’s train to nowhere in California.
It would be nice if this rumor were true. DEI leadership is always incompetent, so there isn’t much chance they’d get someone better than Hogg.
Scoop: DNC could vote to oust David Hogg.
Yes the contender against him is a young female American Indian activist lawyer. Probably the exact same philosophy as Hogg, but I’d still vote for the change!
It’s always delicious when they eat their own. He will literally be ousted by a woman that claims her biggest qualifications for the job is she’s a “woman of color”. Quite frankly, I hope she is even more worthless as Hogg as party chair.
i enjoy a good moment of Schadenfreude, but the issue with the left is that it seldom results in disloyalty or leaving the reservation. every one of them, including the Hogg gun-grabbing traitor to the Constitution, will fall in line to vote, support, and tyrannize the rest of the people on behalf of his gods.
I’m only just now seeing that I posted the wrong tweet with that. Sorry.
David Hogg is an obnoxious little twerp who rose to political fame because he was in a High School where a deranged shooter killed his fellow students.
Fairly lengthy obituary on David Horowitz by his son, but very interesting and moving:
Post
Rest in Peace to my father @horowitz39
. We love you Dad.
David Joel Horowitz was born January 10, 1939 to Phil and Blanche Horowitz in Queens, New York. David was raised in Queens along with his sister Ruth. Phil and Blanche were high school teachers and members of the American Communist Party. Their lives included secret meetings, secret identities and a secret revolutionary plan. As such, they steeped David in Marxist philosophy and world affairs. We sometimes joked that he was the “Tiger Woods of Communism” as he was raised to be the Party’s next great player. He thought that was funny, because like Tiger he never had a choice in the matter. The impact of his upbringing was profound, but David’s life would prove to be shaped by his own self-described irrational desire to “save the world.” While this impulse began as a highly abstract concept, David would spend a lifetime refining it, sharpening it, completely revising it and ultimately making it his life’s mission.
David attended Bryant High School in Queens, NY. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University in 1959 majoring in English. He then earned a master’s degree in English literature from University of California, Berkeley.
In 1959, he instantly fell in love with and married Elissa Krauthamer. They would have four children: Jonathan Daniel, Sarah Rose, Benjamin Abraham, and Anne Deborah. In 1962, at 23 years old, David wrote and published his first book, Student, which detailed the political activities of students on the UC Berkeley campus. While at Berkeley, David became frustrated with his Shakespeare professor, so he wrote his own lecture series which he delivered and was widely attended by students all across the campus. He eventually published the series in his second book: Shakespeare: an Existential View. This superhuman confidence and ability to back it up would become thematic throughout David’s life.
Later David and Elissa moved to London, England where David studied under Ralph Miliband and became close friends with Isaac Deutscher. Later David would write Deutscher’s biography. Also while in London, in 1965 David wrote The Free World Colossus: A Critique of American Foreign Policy in the Cold War, which became the book that made him a force on the new left.
In 1968, David and Elissa moved the family back to the United States and purchased a home in Berkeley, California where they would raise their four children.
In his continued mission to save the world, in 1968 David became co-editor of the new left magazine Ramparts. While at Ramparts, David developed a close friendship with Huey P. Newton, founder of the Black Panther Party. As part of their work together, David helped raise money for, and assisted the Panthers with, the running of a school for poor children in Oakland. He later recommended that Newton hire his friend Betty Van Patter as bookkeeper; she was then working for Ramparts. In December 1974, Van Patter’s body was found floating in San Francisco Harbor; she had been murdered by the Panthers for knowing too much.
The murder forced David to confront a truth that he had long suspected. It made clear to him that the pursuit of a marxist utopia was a false and unachievable goal. Diabolically, the goal created a religion. The religion then cloaked the movement’s leaders with an invincible moral standing enabling them to commit atrocities with impunity for their own gain. He was horrified that he had been part of it and it caused him to rethink his entire life.
The decision was not easy. His family, friends, and career were all deeply tied to “the movement.” If he were to make this change, he would essentially need to start from scratch. So, he stayed away from politics for a while and changed to a neutral career. He became a biographer and journalist. It was a hugely risky move to change careers at 34 years old with a family of 6 in tow.
In a testament to David’s supreme confidence, indomitable will and massive talent, he was an instant success. His first biography The Rockefeller’s An American Dynasty – written with his best friend and long time colleague Peter Collier – was a blockbuster bestseller. Their next biography The Kennedy’s An American Drama was an even bigger success becoming a number 1 New York Times bestseller.
All the while, David kept an eye on and a hand in politics. While he needed a break to sort out his life, nothing in life would deter him from his mission. In 1981, San Francisco Chronicle writer Randy Schiltz tipped David and Peter to a potential epidemic known as AIDS, which was rapidly spreading through the bath houses in San Francisco. Schiltz was concerned that the leaders in the Gay Community were intimidating the medical establishment into covering up the way it was transmitted and therefore keeping the bath houses open, which would cause it to spread out of control . Randy was too terrified to write about it himself as he did not want to be attacked by the community. David, never one to fear anything, took on the story. In 1981, he and Peter published Whitewash: Gay Leaders in California Have Obscured Vital Information About How the AIDS Disease Spreads.
The aggressive reaction to the story (references to the article still call David a “homophobe”) reinforced David’s suspicions. If leaders on the left were willing to sacrifice millions of gay lives to preserve their power and orthodoxy, what wouldn’t they do? The article, the experience, and the ocean of death that followed were the final straw in David’s conversion from his Marxist roots to a leading thinker on the right. He formalized his position on March 17, 1985 when he and Peter published Lefties for Reagan in The Washington Post. David departed the left for good.
The change would cost him nearly everything – all of his friends, coverage in the New York Times Book Review (essential for authors at the time), and countless lost earnings. He would have to start all over. But if the world needed saving from his former comrades on the left, that’s exactly what he would do. Later he would note that the right never excommunicated apostates the way he had been abandoned by the left.
He often complained that he had “the rescue gene.” For David, this meant nothing animated him more than someone in need of help. He would instantly leap into action, making every phone call, raising every dollar, and doing anything in his power to save that person. The realization that he had been party to the destructive force activated his rescue gene and infused him with an energy that would produce dozens of books, countless public appearances, and nearly nonstop work for the next 4 decades.
In 1996, he captured this saga in his autobiography Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey where he retraced his life’s and political journey.
1998 proved to be a seminal year for David when he met his angel April Mullivain whom he would marry and who, along with her son John Jay, would watch over him until his passing.
In 1998, he also founded The Horowitz Freedom Center, where he recruited an inspired group of new young intellectuals to join his cause. The name “Freedom Center” meant much more than most ever understood. While David became known for his change in views, in a sense he never changed at all. His personal style represented the place and community from which he came. Even when he wore a suit, he looked like a radical forced into it due to a court date or a wedding. More importantly, his mission to save the world centered around freedom. When David went to rescue people, it was always from oppression imposed by some person or group. Early on, he had been trained to think the rich capitalists were the oppressors. His political change came from the realization that his side was doing the oppressing. Protected by the guise of being “for the people”, the Panthers took Betty’s life. The progressives left millions to die of AIDS, so they could preserve their leadership positions. His former friends on the left brutally excommunicated him from all their social relationships to reign power over him. It became clear that to fight for freedom, he had to be on the right and so the Freedom Center was born.
From the Freedom Center, he published thousands of high impact articles and books. He understood the systematic implications of seemingly benign cultural changes and used that knowledge to predict much of the future. Notably, he precisely forecast the intense campus antisemitism of 2024 in his book The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America published in 2006.
In 2007, David was crushed by the passing of his beloved daughter Sarah Rose who, more than any of his other children, inherited his indomitable spirit and passion for politics. She had finally succumbed to long-time chronic degeneration from her genetic condition Turner’s Syndrome. He captured the experience in his most intimate and perhaps his best book A Cracking of the Heart in 2009.
By the twenty teens, David had long been frustrated by what he referred to as the “soft, gentlemanly” tactics of the Republican Party. He lamented that the Republicans were bringing a nerf gun to a nuclear war. He intimately knew the left’s tactics and desperately wanted his party to match them. His wish was granted when a new kind of candidate, Donald J. Trump, won the Republican nomination. David responded instantly with the best articulation of the Trump strategy in Big Agenda: President Trump’s Plan to Save America. Later, in 2024, his son Benjamin would meet President Trump and mention David. President Trump’s face immediately lit up and he insisted that Benjamin get David on the phone immediately. Hospitalized and weak, David was still delighted to speak with the President and know that his message was heard and heeded.
In 2024, David published America Betrayed: How a Christian Monk Created America & Why the Left Is Determined to Destroy Her. In it, he carefully explained how the Catholic Church – through the indulgences – had removed the freedom inherent in being accountable to God and replaced them with the oppression of being accountable to the church. He then explained how that same idea had come back into vogue in the U.S. Right up until the final moments, David fought for freedom.
In the end, David helped countless people and expended every fiber of his being pushing society towards freedom. He may not have saved the world, but he most certainly made it a better place – especially for us. He was our super hero and we will love him forever.
Wow. Long, but impressive. I had always wondered about his change. Is there a link somewhere?

Thank you for posting.
This is well worth reading.
You can get an understanding why DJT and RFK, Jr are so hated and who are the absolute predators in today’s society.
Welcome!
I really had no knowledge about his life and background – I just purchased his book, “Radical Son”. I’ll be interested to read about that time period and how it all went south.
Bookmarked for recurrent use.
Someon e dropped it on its head.
Vote in haste, repent in leisure.
Seems like happy but completely ignorant teenagers. Teenagers who think they are independent but have no idea how dependent they are because they have no idea how the household bills get paid.
We’ll see how happy they are when Dad shuts off their allowance and starts making them pay their own share of the household expenses.
This seems fake. They are trying too hard to be dumb. No one is that dumb. Could they be that dumb?
Either way, the free ride is over so good luck to them. Woo hoo!
They have to be from Ontario.
…Have a good ‘tin, but try not to get to too much troubles….make canada great again…and good luck
Isn’t this the kind of nationalism, patriotism, populism that the IC run mockingbird msm hate about President Trump supporters??? But it’s ok for Canadian voters??? Just wondering???
If only there was a clue something is wrong in Canada…
🤣 🤣 🤣
Celebrating their National Suicide?!?!?
I was doubtful of the Ukraine claim that Russia was using North Korean troops myself.
We hear propaganda from both sides in this, or any conflict.
Putin finally confirms North Korean troops have been fighting against Ukraine, pursuant to the mutual defense provision of the June 2024 treaty signed by Russia and North Korea. At the time, it was ambiguous how robust that treaty was to believed to be. Turns out, quite robust
Real time military practice.
South Korea should be concerned.
While this was 60 years ago … there were 2 x Entire Infantry Divisions (the Tiger Division and Capital Division) from the South Korean Army as well as a Battalion South Korean Marines deployed in Vietnam …. just sayin’.
Plus, there were the (faux) NATO Missions to Afghanistan and Iraq.
The U.S. Supreme Court hears two cases today that are consolidated into one case: OK Charter School Board vs Drummond consolidated with St. Isidore of Seville School vs Drummond.
Link to listen to the audio, scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. east coast time:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/
explanation from the website: This Court has repeatedly held that a State violates the Free Exercise clause when it excludes religious observers from otherwise available public benefits.
The two questions before the court are “Whether the academic and pedagogical choices of a privately owned and run school constitute State action simply because it contracts with the State to offer a free educational option for interested students.”
and “Whether a State violates the Free Exercise clause by excluding privately run religious schools from the State’s charter-school program solely because the schools are religious, or whether a State can justify such an exclusion by invoking anti-establishment interests that go further than the Establishment clause requires.
The court issued one ruling today in the case of Feliciano vs Dept. of Transportation
It was about the ‘differential pay’ statute Congress created for those who are civilian federal employees that also serve in the National Guard and get called up to duty, to cover the difference in pay between their regular job and what they are paid when called up.
He was an air traffic controller, got called to duty as a Coast Guard petty officer during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He did not receive the disparate pay benefit so sued, and lost and lost again in his appeals all the way up to the circuit court.
This time he won, and the case was remanded back to the circuit court to fix their ruling accordingly.
This was a 5-4 decision, written by Gorsuch (pages 4-19). Interesting (to me) the minority is Thomas, Alito, Kagan, Jackson (pages 20-36) The gist of the ruling is in the first 3 pages.
Here is a link to read the full pdf of the ruling and opinions written by both sides on the case:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/23-861_7lh8.pdf
thanks for update and not a ding on you… but frankly, this is not one of the deeply consequential cases. it is further evidence that the Roberts court, and Roberts in particular, is obsessed with NOT taking a stand on important matters, and trying to represent the appearance of “bipartisanship” in those cases where they can worm their way out of their duty to the republic.
he has, quite literally, stated that he will side with some cases primarily in the interest of giving that appearance. this admission, alone, is grounds to impeach and remove him. his ONLY guide should be the Constitution.
The House Republicans 🥱!!!
I was an AX E-6 electronic component level troubleshooting and repair technician whose squadron was assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier cruise to the South Pacific in 1978. During that cruise we lost several aircraft. One upon launch failed to achieve sufficient air speed and the pilot was forced to eject and ditch the aircraft into the Pacific. If I remember correctly we lost 3 aircraft due to various mid flight troubles. Also the average number of sailors killed is one for docking and another setting sail. Aircraft Carriers are one the most dangerous places to be assigned in the military.
Thanks for your service.
i tend to agree that some of this “news” is just sensationalism.
that said, we should be asking ourselves how our presence there and bombing civilians and useless targets in a desert with no resources has ANY strategic value to America and how it is making us great or making my wallet fuller. because its not.
especially when this third rate band of sand people has managed to cause us to burn through many billions of dollars, significant amounts of our arsenal, with no change in the danger level; and they have been quite clear and held to their word about what would cause them to stop: they are not at war with us or oil or europe: they are fighting Israel.
You are delusional if you think they’re not at war with us. Iran has been at war with us for some time directly attacking our soldiers in Iraq and elsewhere. They are attacking our vessels, not anyone else’s, and this is in international waters.
this is neocon logic, but okay.
That is the truth, but okay.
When did MAGA people recreate history? Are you denying IRAN killed our soldiers in Iraq?
I’m certainly not advocating war with Iran, but neither am I denying the truth about the Houthi’s and who is funding them.
Good morning. My father spent almost 30 years in the Navy. He was stationed on Aircraft Carriers almost his entire career. He was the Plank Crew on four Carriers, including the first nuclear powered carrier, the USS Enterprise. He loved being stationed on the Carriers. He also said they were probably one of the most dangerous places to be assigned.
Have a wonderful day.

I have not received any emails from here unless they were in response to an email to admin.
It is possible someone is spoofing their email address.
I get emails using my email address that are the “I recorded you doing something naughty” blackmail threats and they just copy and paste your email into the Sender header and then send it off. I just flag them as phishing and delete.
I use Outlook.com (used to be Hotmail) on my phone and PC.
So, do certain NGO’s have a problem?
It might be a way to claw all that filthy lucre they’ve been leeching off the taxpayers and which they’ve been using for immoral purposes.
not with Trumps current AG they are perfectly safe.
So do a lot of state government people that created the sanctuary cities so the NGO’s had destinations to send the illegal aliens.
Exactly. Oregon used a voter referendum that was sold as protecting illegals who reported crime to then proclaim us a sanctuary state. Since then they have been stealing taxpayer resources and giving them to illegal aliens. Now a one-party rule state since mail-in ballots The Party does as it pleases. Ever notice that the homeless problem is almost exclusively white citizens while illegals get subsidized housing? The Party claims they care and need more money. What they really need is busted.
And Deputy AG Todd Blanche has experience prosecuting RICO.
But his superior is Bondi…
The fly in the oinment.
We sit on the sidelines and wait for “Godot”.
Deputy AG typically does the heavy lifting – Deputy AG Lisa Monaco was a bigger problem than AG Garland.
Hopefully Blanche is building the case(s) that will get convictions. Keeping my fingers crossed that once this budget get passed, DOJ drops the hammer – immigration, DOGE, etc …

At his 100 Day Rally yesterday, President Trump mentioned a ‘she’ who was more responsible for the mess of Bribem’s administration than SLO-Joe himself.
Was Monoco whom he was referencing, I wonder . . .?
I think PDJT was referring to the auto-oen woman. Can’t remember her name, of Indian descent.
Let’s use this on EVERY NGO that facilitated the mass invasion of our Southern Border!
And every Lawfare entity used against Nominee/President Trump. They are clearly coordinated for this purpose.
Agree. No human being is illegal but they’re actions are if its against the laws of the country in which they invade.
Trump Cracks Down on Sanctuary Cities With Sweeping Executive Orders – RedState
Democrats rarely if ever obey Trumps executive orders . There must be extremely aggressive enforcement .
IMO, if your being here is an illegal act, you -are- illegal. Just semantics, but I don’t grant the libs their vocabulary that no one is illegal. And it is actually written in the law that they are illegal aliens.
Does it bother anyone else the way libs (speaking before Congress or to Pres Trump) use “sir” as a curseword equal to A-hole? If somebody did that to me, I’d do it right back to them. I’d end or begin every single sentence with sir or ma’am. And I’d speak the word angrily so it would be very clear that I was using the word as a euphemism for my actual assessment.

This is great news for the poorest states in the nation. Apparently California has the fourth largest economy in the WORLD and yet their students are falling way behind in reading and math. This just goes to prove that everything Democrats touch turns to 💩 !
“Reading Scores Plummet In Rich Blue States And Rise In Poor Red Ones”
Excerpts:
The latest report reveals something surprising: after adjusting for demographics, the reading and math scores of students in Mississippi and Louisiana, two heavily Republican states and among the poorest in the nation, have surpassed those in deeply Democratic states such as California and New York.
The reform has produced remarkable results, with Mississippi’s fourth graders’ reading scores rising from 49th in the nation in 2013 to the top of the rankings (after adjusting for demographics) in 2024. The progress among black students is particularly impressive. According to Republican Gov. Tate Reeves, the reading scores of the state’s black fourth graders have improved from 45th to third place during the same period. This reflects the effectiveness of Mississippi’s literacy program, which has provided a learning gain equivalent to a full year of schooling. Moreover, the state’s graduation rate has seen a significant rise from 72 percent in 2013 to 89.9 percent in 2024.
Inspired by Mississippi’s success, Louisiana implemented similar education reforms in 2019. The state focused on phonics instruction and providing “content-rich” literacy curriculums. Additionally, Louisiana has invested in extensive training programs for principals, teachers, and reading coaches on how students learn to read.
A variety of factors have contributed to this decline in blue states, including the extended school closures during the Covid-19 pandemic. Democrats also rely on questionable research for education reform and stubbornly maintain flawed strategies to align with their political interests, even in the face of catastrophic results.

Everyone who said President Trump should never have talked to the vile hacks at The Atlantic — whose whole mission is to destroy him — was right. They couldn’t even stick to their original headline and immediately made it nastier the moment the story dropped.
Dumb move Mr. President.
I know he doesn’t like to be seen as backing down from a challenge, but still.
A bit hard to understand if you don’t follow Canadian politics that closely. This part deals with how they came up with Carney.
Losers Gotta Lose
Mark Steyn
Tony Blair had a better idea. That night at the River Café in Hammersmith his dinner companion was Mark Carney. Everyone’s favourite Knight of the Garter suggested to everyone’s favourite central banker that it was time for Carney to become Prime Minister of Canada. After Sir Tony had pulled out a map to remind him where it was, Mr Carney protested that he’d just moved his business interests to Bermuda and the Isle of Man. If you’re wondering why a chap who has dedicated his life to “public service” is in need of tax havens, well, why not get a thirty-grand-a-year job as a bigshot newspaper reporter and ask him at the next press conference?
Carney required some persuading that night. It is reported that Blair perambulated his guest around the restaurant multiple times before Carney warmed up to the idea. But he had a vague recollection from the last time he was back “home” that Canadians already had a prime minister, didn’t they? Indeed, said Tony. So the plan would only work if they could remove Justin very swiftly and surgically. We are deep into Macbeth here, if you can imagine Duncan played by an effete mammy-singer:
If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly: if the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success…
And that’s exactly what they did. ‘Twere done very quickly: two months after that dinner, Chrystia Freeland quit as Trudeau’s deputy, precipitating the final crisis of Justin’s decade-long tenure. Another month later, he was surceased. A month after that, Carney was elected Liberal leader with eighty-six per cent of the vote. Which is pretty impressive for a guy who’s been out of the country for twelve years, has never been elected to anything, and had minimal name recognition. I mean, how many Governors of the Bank of England, or of Canada, or of any central bank, can the average Canadian voter name?

Getting Whitmer up to speak – Hilarious. Not too long ago she was hiding her face with a folder at another WH gathering!
An English court finally rules that a woman is an adult human female. Yet, there will still be fallout. And of course, in the US, we are nowhere near this kind of ruling yet. Worth the watch.

Our new Transportation Secretary asked how he could make traveling with families great again, and was inundated with so many replies to get rid of the TSA, that his daughter came to his rescue and told people that he can’t.
She also said that people can and should take it up with Kristi Noem.
It seems that an awful lot of Americans do not want the TSA to be in existence, yet it somehow became exempt from the Elon Musk chainsaw.
We did see a head fake about changing union rules or something, from our new overlord, Kristi Noem.
It’s great to see someone in government (Sean Duffy) remembering who he works for, and asking how he may serve us better, but I’m disappointed that his question was aimed at a narrow slice of the public, those traveling with children.
There’s a big push from the White House that we “need” more babies. I hate to see policy based on a perceived need, especially when the people pushing it have not very well hidden motives.
“Our new Transportation Secretary asked how he could make traveling with families great again, and was inundated with so many replies to get rid of the TSA.”
He wasn’t doing himself any favors in the competence department by admitting he didn’t know–he had to ask.
Dumb pr/marketing move.
I see it as a positive move.👍
If you are working….for the people…
always a good thing to get some
input/feedback from them.
It was always a major gripe at work
when the paper pushing cube rats
would come up with some off the wall
ludicrous ideas that no one ever wanted
or asked for.🫤 🤣 Their ideas never lasted.
Whereas, those who actually did the work
could have given them dozens of of ideas
for efficiency, economics and security.
And those frontline supervisors who came
on board who asked for input…and actually
implemented the ideas given …earned a certain
amount of respect..off the bat! It reinforced
Teamwork!!
I say good for him!!
👏 👏
A lot of the replies had to do with separate check-in lines for people with kids in tow.
Supposedly that’s a thing in some airports but not here.
I don’t know how that helps because I’ve never flown with a minor child.
Yes, any time our servants ask how they may serve us it should be encouraged.
Perhaps he hasn’t traveled with young children recently.
The political arm of the assault on the tariffs is amping up. Sen Rand on TV yesterday with a prolonged “that’s a Congressional prerogative” that pretty much mirrors what some Dems are claiming today – all pretext for a 2026 impeachment should the House flip. I’m also seeing the same “expertise” in some financial advisories I subscribe to.
Expedite the deals.
R. Paul obviously
We need to pressure and tariff the pharmaceutical companies. They need to return to making meds here in America for national security reasons.
Don’t know about others in this community but I and many folks I know are seeing a rapid escalation in fraud attempts through phishing or phone. My daughter fell victim to such yesterday. Despite repeated “don’t agree to anything over the phone” admonitions from her pops she was frightened into making a fraudulent payment. The bank, of course, is disclaiming all responsibility since Zell was used (i.e., crappy E2E security banks nevertheless support).
Man, if one could only track these folks down.

No, she’s clean and sober!
I was laughing at this fool Canadian crying last night on Fox Live about how the tariffs from America will lead to the total leaving of the auto industry from Canada back to the USA. He was crying that this would lead to small towns in Canada that depend on the auto industry to become ghost towns and those people will need to be retrained in something different?
Oh wait a minute I said just like we had to in the 1990s when our small towns were devastated by the globalists moving our industries to Canada right and telling us to learn to code? These Canadians are total losers. Time for Camadians to exepreience alot of pain.

I use to make a wisecrack that the reason there are some many liberals in the big cities is because there’s an additive being put into gasoline that affects the brain.

That article made a comment about the substance coming from jet fuel….(I linked it down thread before seeing your link)…
It is and has been, increasingly, a very real problem in the southern end of Northern IL. In the rural areas of same location, there are also lots of windmill farms and solar panel farms. I drive by them when going to see the ‘grands’.
About a week or so ago, I made a comment that Peoria Jones commented/responded to, living not far from me…we have both noticed the changes in lawns and gardens (over the last few years)…and up by me, it, chem trails, is now a daily occurrence when it used to be a Thursday or Friday (early mornings) event.
This escalation has occurred in the last two months or so…is now so bad, I no longer feel safe leaving a bowl of water on the patio, for my dogs. It, the water bowl water, often has a tan cloudy hue to it after 8 hours…so that said…
About 10 years ago or more, probably more, I was on I-80 heading west to go to a football game in Ames…late afternoon, fall, back when blue skies were really ‘blue’, there was a huge pattern of these ‘chem trails’ or whatever they are…in the form of a large tic tac toe box type pattern.. 4 or more squares equidistant. That was no way, no how, related to commercial jet planes.
“Now take a mental snapshot of the scene you have in your mind. Jackbooted thugs, toddlers ripped from the arms of hysterical parents, assault rifles aimed at babies, and so forth. It was probably worse than that time the Democrats forcibly deported young Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba. Oh wait, forget about that. Politico did.”

https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/30/the-boomer-apocalypse/
FTA “It’s not exactly clear when the term “boomer” became a pejorative, but it’s fairly recent. Once upon a time, there was respect for elders. Today, despite their impending mortality, they must be held in contempt. Now, a new book takes boomer derision to a whole new level. “A Generation of Sociopaths—How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America” by Bruce Cannon Gibney attacks an entire generation, holding it “jointly and severally liable” for pretty much every major problem facing the United States today.
The problem I have with Gibney’s book is not his dry humor, which I appreciate, nor his opportunistic decision to develop a polarizing argument in order to sell more books. The problem is that he picked the safest target in the world. Gibney could have written a book, rich with data and unambiguous in its condemnation of any other group, and he would have been castigated and ignored. If his target had been blacks, transsexuals, Muslims, or Jews, he would have committed career suicide. But boomers, who are old and overwhelmingly white, are fair game. But this is still playing with fire. It validates anti-white racism, pairs it with generational resentment, and encourages further polarization. It paves the way for escalating scapegoating, particularly if the economy falters. If Americans are ever reduced to truly desperate conditions, it will provide intellectual ammunition for much worse. An easily forgettable but all-too-accurate counterargument to Gibney’s boomer bashing is that the challenges facing America’s younger generations are both nobody’s fault and everybody’s fault. The causes are circumstantial, driven by an economic and cultural historical momentum that individuals and groups, and generations can influence but can’t possibly stop.
Similarly, it wasn’t boomers who got America into the Vietnam War. For better or for worse, it was the Greatest Generation who did that. The Greatest Generation also launched the War on Poverty, an expansion of the welfare state that has done more harm to African American communities than any subsequent, alleged lack of “empathy” on the part of boomers ever could.
Gibney, along with every other boomer basher, would do well to ponder the likelihood that historical and economic trends are driven by ideologies that transcend generations. The utopian designs of socialists and the panic-driven “climate solutions” of today’s environmentalists both come with authoritarian agendas that reward corporate monopolies and government bureaucracies, leaving everyone else in the cold. Turning younger Americans against their grandparents does not address these larger and more relevant causes of their misfortune. But it does sell books.”
Now I’m a sociopath in addition to being a deplorable, a bigot, a white supremacist, a fascist, a misogynist, garbage and a threat to “democracy”(Biden)!!! How many more pejoratives are left to call me? The name calling of the left is reaching a fever pitch!!! Wow!!! My feelings are hurt!!!!/s
Well this boomer who has worked hard his whole life and has a house and car free and clear, no credit card debt and money in the bank will just be sitting by and smiling.
Communists always try to separate the younger generations from the wisdom of their elders.
This isn’t just Democrats. It’s our government, no matter which party.
Predictably in the replies someone brings up hate, and as an example uses someone saying “Hey, Vivek, your superior culture is calling” as an example of “blanket hate”.
No it isn’t, because Vivek did make negative remarks about American culture, and this person says “culture”.
Notice it’s okay to say anything at all about the country of Ukraine, and Ukrainians, but you can’t mention fraud coming out of India or by Indians?

More winning with President Trump as our leader. I suspect that Xi will quietly lift tariffs on most US products. After all, he doesn’t have to worry about those pesky things called elections. He also has the added luxury of NOT having to tell his citizens the truth.
“Winning: China Caves to Trump on Tariffs Again”
Excerpts:
In a stunning reversal that validates President Donald Trump’s hardline stance, China caved on Tuesday and lifted its punitive 125% tariff on American ethane imports.
The communist regime had desperately slapped this tariff on U.S. ethane earlier this month in a failed attempt to counter Trump’s brilliant Liberation Day tariff offensive. Obviously, it couldn’t sustain the tariff — China depends on American ethane for its survival, gobbling up about half of our total ethane exports annually, according to federal energy data.
The reality is that major Chinese manufacturers like Satellite Chemical, SP Chemicals, Sinopec, Sanjiang Fine Chemical, and Wanhua Chemical Group can’t function without American ethane from powerhouse U.S. suppliers Enterprise Products Partners and Energy Transfer.
Ethane is just the latest addition to a growing list of American products that China has quietly exempted from its retaliatory tariffs in the ongoing trade war with the United States. This is what winning looks like.
Just last week, Chinese officials began rolling back tariffs on American semiconductors. They’ve also quietly removed duties on pharmaceuticals and aircraft engines. So much for the hysterical predictions that Trump’s trade policies would wreck the U.S. economy — it turns out that all that doom and gloom should have been reserved for China, which has realized the hard way that it needs the United States more than the United States needs China.
Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary has long advocated that Trump leverage America’s dominant economic position while we still have it.
“We have to squeeze heads while we’re the largest economy on earth,” he told Fox Business last week, noting that the U.S. accounts for 39% of global consumption and 26.1% of world GDP. “Squeeze while you can, otherwise you’ll never get this opportunity again.”

From 2024:
“My great friend and author of ‘Dark Agenda,’ David Horowitz, is out with a new book, ‘Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last.’ It is great! Get your copy.”
–Donald J. Trump, 45th & 47th President of the United States
Jamie Glazov (2015):
From red-diaper baby to New Leftist to champion and tutor of the Right.
“…Horowitz’s career as a New Left intellectual flourished. He wrote Empire & Revolution: A Radical Interpretation of Contemporary History, which offered a New Left perspective on imperialism, Communism, and the Cold War. Horowitz returned to the U.S. in 1968 to become an editor at Ramparts magazine, the New Left’s largest and most successful publication, with a circulation of a quarter-million readers.
He thought that he had found an answer to the political paralysis of the early 1970s when he became close to Huey Newton, the leader of the Black Panther Party. Horowitz had avoided contacts with the Panthers in their overtly violent phase, but in 1970, Newton announced that it was “time to put away the gun” and turn to community activities. Seeing this as a constructive leftism, Horowitz found himself raising funds to purchase a Baptist church in Oakland’s inner city for the Panthers, which he turned into a “learning center” for 150 Panther children. In September 1974 he recruited the Ramparts bookkeeper, Betty Van Patter, to maintain the accounts of the tax-exempt foundation he had created to manage the Panther school. In December, Van Patter’s bludgeoned body was found floating in San Francisco Bay. The police were convinced she had been murdered by members of the Panther Party, but local prosecutors were unable to bring an indictment, and the federal government, under siege from the Left, steered clear of this crime, as did the press, which had largely bought into the notion that the Panthers had been targeted for destruction by racist law enforcement.
Entering what would become a ten-year, slow-motion transformation from theorist of the Left to its worst enemy, Horowitz undertook his own inquiry into the murder. As he collided with denial and threats of retribution if he continued to search, he was forced to confront three stark facts: His New Left outlook was unable to explain the events that had overtaken him; his lifelong friends and associates on the Left were now a threat to his safety, since they would instinctively defend the Panther vanguard; and no one among them really cared about the murder of an innocent woman, because the murderers were their political friends.
Forced to look at his own commitments in a way he had never allowed himself to do before, Horowitz realized that it was the enemies of the Left who had been correct in their assessment of the Panthers, just as they had been correct in their assessment of the Soviet Union, while the Left had been disastrously wrong. The Panthers were not political militants and victims of police repression. They were ghetto thugs running a con on credulous white supporters and committing crimes against vulnerable black citizens. It was the Left and its “revolution” that had conferred on them the aura of a political vanguard, protecting them from being held accountable for their deeds.
In pursuing his investigation of Betty Van Patter’s death, Horowitz discovered that the Panthers had murdered more than a dozen people in the course of conducting extortion, prostitution, and drug rackets in the Oakland ghetto. And yet, to his growing bewilderment, the Panthers continued to enjoy the support of the American Left, the Democratic party, Bay-area trade unions, and even the Oakland business establishment.
In his essay “Still No Regrets,” Horowitz wrote: “A library of memoirs by aging new leftists and ‘progressive’ academics recall the rebellions of the 1960s. But hardly a page in any of them has the basic honesty — or sheer decency — to say, ‘Yes, we supported these murderers and those spies, and the agents of that evil empire,’ or to say so without an alibi. I’d like to hear even one of these advocates of ‘social justice’ make this simple acknowledgement: ‘We greatly exaggerated the sins of America and underestimated its decencies and virtues, and we’re sorry.’”
The political journey from Left to Right, of course, had been made before. But Horowitz’s change of heart was of a somewhat different character from the conversions of the ex-Communists who had traveled to the Right before him. Unlike the contributors to The God That Failed, for instance, most of whom remained men of the Left, Horowitz made a comprehensive break with the radical worldview. …
As the Indochinese tragedy unfolded, Horowitz was struck again by how the Left refused to hold itself accountable for the result it had fought so hard for — in this case, a Communist victory. It evidently could not have cared less about the new suffering of the people in whose name it had once purported to speak. He became increasingly convinced, as Peter Collier had tried to persuade him, that “the element of malice played a larger role in the motives of the left than I had been willing to accept.” If the Left really wanted a better world, why was it so indifferent to the terrible consequences of its own ideas and practices?
In November 1984, Horowitz turned another corner. He cast his first Republican ballot, for Ronald Reagan. Shortly thereafter he learned that Peter Collier had done the same. On March 17, 1985, he and Collier wrote a cover story for the Sunday magazine of the Washington Post, “Lefties for Reagan,” and explained their vote by describing what they had seen and done while fighting against “Amerikkka” as part of the Left. As they expected, the article inspired vitriolic responses from their former comrades and forced them to re-enter the political arena to wage what became a two-person war against the Sixties Left.
Dissecting the Left’s hypocrisy now became a Horowitz métier. As a former believer, he could attack the progressive myth with the familiarity of an insider. He and Collier delivered their first stunning blow in Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts about the ’60s, a 1989 book in which they analyzed the legacy of the New Left and its corrosive effects on American culture. Destructive Generation represented the first dissent from the celebration of the 1960s that had been issuing forth in volume after volume from publishing companies headed by former New Leftists.
Before Collier and Horowitz turned on the Left, they had enjoyed front-page reviews in the New York Times Book Review and bestseller status for their multi-generational biographies. But Destructive Generation marked their eclipse in the literary culture. As Horowitz later recalled, “Our books, once prominently reviewed everywhere, were now equally ignored. With a few notable exceptions, we became pariahs and un-persons in mainstream intellectual circles.” The last review of a Horowitz book in The New York Review of Books was in 1985, the very spring that he and Collier announced they had voted for Reagan.
Horowitz’s next work, Radical Son, published in 1997, was powerful enough that even his enemies had to admit that it called up comparisons to Whittaker Chambers’s Witness and Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon. George Gilder called it “the first great American autobiography of his generation.” In this memoir Horowitz provided an account of his life, the details of which were already being distorted by his political enemies, and described the intellectual process of his political change of heart….
In The Art of Political War Horowitz observes that progressives have inverted Clausewitz’s famous dictum and treat politics as “war continued by other means.” By contrast, conservatives approach politics as a debate over policy. …
Anyone who has traced the arc of David Horowitz’s life cannot help thinking that, despite all the efforts to silence him, he will ultimately be vindicated by history and that the principles behind his work, to use William Faulkner’s famous words, will not only endure but prevail.” …….
David Horowitz, Rest in Peace

I frequent a Left-wing Libtard website. The divide between MAGA Patriots and Globalist Left-wing “Useful Idiots” Libtards has never been greater than it is right now. The thinking of any reasoning with these people is a definite exercise in futility.
These people have to be defeated. A complete defeat is the only acceptable outcome.
President Trump knows this to be the case and is taking it step by step. Its a journey and not an event.
How do you handle that , I can’t go to left wing sites because as soon as I read a libtards post I want to instantly engage in an all out brawl to the death because of how ridiculously stupid they are and I’m not even remotely violent .
I would be lying if I didn’t say it is a challenge.
What I have learned is Libtards lack rationale, judgement and commonsense. They are mentally deranged and lack a sense of humor.
They are a mentally handicapped sick people. Also, they are definitely my enemy. My wishing them ill-will is the least I can do.
