Now they tell us.

“We were badly misled about the event that changed our lives.” So reads the headline on Princeton professor Zeynep Tufekci’s March 16 article in the New York Times. The event was, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the bad misleading came from scientists who purposefully discredited the now-widely accepted theory that the virus originated from a leak in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Perhaps not entirely coincidentally, the New York Times article appeared one day short of five years from the publication in Nature Medicine of an article by five scientists, led by Kristian Andersen, titled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2.” “We do not believe,” the article states, “that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”

Trump’s Energy Secretary Offers Africa Freedom From Biden’s Climate Imperialism– americanactionnews.com

Excerpt:

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has signaled a change that could mean the difference between life and death for millions in Africa. Speaking at the “Powering Africa Summit” in Washington, D.C., Wright told leaders of a continent of 1.5 billion people that the Trump administration “has no desire to tell you what to do with your energy system.” This is a departure from the Biden regime, which was aligned with much of the Western climate juggernaut imposing Green New Dealism on developing countries that couldn’t afford it and stood to suffer by it.

“It’s a paternalistic post-colonial attitude that I just can’t stand,” Wright said of the climate evangelism that sought to force others to abandon fossil fuels and adopt largely useless technologies like solar and wind energy.

Majority of US Catholics now support same-sex ‘marriage’ and abortion, Pew research finds– www.lifesitenews.com

The Pew Religious Landscape Study (RLS) for Catholics from 2007, 2014, and 2023-24 offers a sobering glimpse into this crisis for traditional Catholics rooted in the Magisterium’s truths: for every 100 Catholics entering, 800 Catholics leave, prayer is declining, belief in God is plummeting, and a super majority supports issues deemed morally evil by the Church – demographically propped up by immigrants yet spiritually adrift.

While the sharp declines from 2007 to 2014 have slowed by 2023-24, the downward trend persists, demanding urgent reflection.

Trump eyes Ukraine’s power plants, as he pushes peace plan on Zelensky– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

‘A FANTASTIC PHONE CONVERSATION’: President Donald Trump is a big fan of being told what he wants to hear, and both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have played to that character trait to stay on Trump’s good side while pursuing their own agendas.

In a one-hour phone call with Trump yesterday, Zelensky was heavy on gratitude while treading carefully about his reservations as he discussed the next steps in Trump’s plan to end the war and divide up Ukraine by ceding a large swath of the east to Russia.

It was “a fantastic phone conversation,” according to a readout provided by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz. “Zelensky thanked President Trump for the support of the United States, especially the Javelin missiles that President Trump was first to provide, and his efforts towards peace.”

Democrats in Congress Drive Luxury Cars on Taxpayer Dime– freebeacon.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) declared in February that the government is “not in the business of giving out money” to taxpayers. But when it comes to the simple luxuries in her own life, the firebrand lawmaker is happy to let the public foot the bill.

That includes her taxpayer-funded car. Crockett has billed the public $999.96 every month since she assumed office in January 2023 to pay for a “vehicle lease,” according to House disbursement records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. It’s unclear the make and model of Crockett’s publicly financed whip—lawmakers are not required to disclose that information and her office did not return a request for comment—but it’s enough to pay for a Tesla Model S, Elon Musk’s luxury sports sedan, which leases for $998 per month.

Crockett obtained her taxpayer-funded vehicle through a little-known fringe benefit that allows representatives to bill the public for a fresh set of EPA-approved wheels to traverse their congressional districts. Some 42 lawmakers participated in the program in 2024, including 15 Republican participants who represent geographically expansive districts that average 18,100 square miles each. The Republican participants primarily leased economy vehicles from American manufacturers, with several of their offices telling the Free Beacon that leasing a vehicle is a far more cost-effective way for the lawmakers to traverse their massive districts as opposed to paying for airfare or using their personal vehicle at the IRS reimbursement rate of 67 cents per mile.

Excerpt:

In a Fox News interview Tuesday evening, Elon Musk expressed his shock and frustration over the rising tide of violence directed at his company, Tesla.

Host Sean Hannity opened the discussion by addressing the disturbing reports he had seen about Tesla vehicles being targeted across the country. “I woke up this morning and saw that Teslas were put ablaze in one of your dealerships in Vegas,” Hannity said. He went on to explain that similar attacks have occurred all over the nation, adding that “bullets are being fired, charging stations are put ablaze. Teslas are being put ablaze.” He also brought up the serious threats against Musk and his family, noting, “You have experienced assassination threats of assassination for you and your family. What have you done that warrants this?”

Musk, clearly taken aback by the level of hostility, responded by describing the attacks as “a shock.” He expressed disbelief at the hatred directed toward him and his company, especially considering his understanding of the political left. “Yeah, I mean, it’s really come as quite a shock to me that there is this level of really hatred and violence from the left,” he said. “I always thought the left, or Democrats, were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of caring.”

“Not only do they exist, they persist. And they’re actually influencing young kids every single day.”

Minnesota Governor and former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz appeared on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s new podcast where the two talked about how the Democratic Party is losing support among young male voters.

During the latest episode of This is Gavin Newsom, the two governors spoke about the ongoing issues in the Democratic Party regarding support among young men. Newsom, who previously interviewed high-profile conservative commentators Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, explained to Walz why these right-wing voices are resonating with young male voters and the working class.

“We’re losing them to these guys online, we’re losing them to people that I’m bringing on this podcast as well, that’s why I brought on Charlie Kirk,” Newsom said, to which Walz claimed that they were “bad guys.”

“But they exist,” Newsom responded, “and we can deny they exist, they exist—not only do they exist, they persist. And they’re actually influencing young kids every single day.”

Walz asked how to “push some of those guys back under a rock,” to which Newsom said, “I think we have to first understand what their motivations are, I think we have to understand what they’re actually doing.”

Failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has faced a backlash online after he mocked the slide in stock prices of Elon Musk’s company Tesla.

Walz said that he frequently checks Tesla‘s stock price to get a little “boost” of happiness.

However, he was brutally shot down by Musk’s response to his remarks.

Many on the left have taken aim at Musk’s companies to protest his support of and participation in the Trump administration.

Amazingly, much of the Left’s anger toward Musk appears to be due to his role as a senior advisor for Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The Lake Washington School District, which is located near Seattle, has been accused of fostering a hostile environment for its Jewish students since the 2023 Hamas terror attacks.

The US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has launched an investigation into a Washington state school district on allegations of ignoring and enabling rampant antisemitism. The Lake Washington School District, which is located near Seattle, has been accused of fostering a hostile environment for its Jewish students since the 2023 Hamas terror attacks. Jewish students have allegedly been the target of slurs, threats, and physical violence. The school district has reportedly refused to intervene.

The investigation follows a federal Title VI complaint filed by StandWithUS Saidoff Legal against the school district. According to the legal organization, the lawsuit was filed after the LWSD failed to address the issue after receiving multiple incident reports, which allowed a “hostile environment to persist.” Educators have also been accused of teaching biased content surrounding the Israel-Hamas war in their classrooms, according to the complaint.

Trump To Formally Sign Executive Order That Would Close The Department Of Education– trendingpoliticsnews.com

President Donald Trump is officially moving forward with his plan to dismantle the Department of Education, a move he campaigned on and has taken steps towards implementing since he was inaugurated on January 20.

Trump has long pointed to declining nationwide standardized test scores and overall poor performance of the U.S. public education system despite the fact that the nation leads the world in education funding. The president, along with proponents of abolishing the department, have long called for education to be returned to state control.

“NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores reveal a national crisis — our children are falling behind,” Harrison Fields, the White House principal deputy press secretary, told Fox News. “Over the past four years, Democrats have allowed millions of illegal minors into the country, straining school resources and diverting focus from American students.”

“Coupled with the rise of anti-American CRT and DEI indoctrination, this is harming our most vulnerable,” he added. “President Trump’s executive order to expand educational opportunities will empower pare

Roberts’ Obsession With SCOTUS Legitimacy Has Delegitimized It– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

The chief irony of Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure at the Supreme Court is that the man so doggedly devoted to defending the judiciary has done so much to undermine it. In so doing, he has threatened not only the court’s legitimacy but the republic itself.

His latest such act wasn’t an abomination of a ruling on the level of Obamacare, the census citizenship question, or DACA; a faulty probe into a devastating leak; or a defense of the indefensible censorship-industrial complex. It was a terse three-line statement that may prove the most consequential — and corrosive — move of them all.

“For more than two centuries,” the chief justice wrote, “it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

US Navy, Coast Guard end abortion funding after Trump executive order– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

In 2022, the Pentagon said it would pay for service members’ abortion-related travel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, along with pro-life laws in some states, would affect “readiness, recruiting, and retention implications” for the U.S. military. Therefore, service members and their defendants would be reimbursed for expenses incurred when seeking induced abortions to intentionally end the lives of their preborn children.

After President Donald Trump was inaugurated for the second time in January, he issued an executive order reinforcing the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal dollars from funding most abortions. As a result, the DOD released a memo confirming it would no longer fund abortion-related travel.

Earlier in March, the Navy announced it would halt abortion-related leave and funding for abortion travel, following the DOD directive. Now, in a memo, the Coast Guard has also confirmed that abortion travel expenses will not be reimbursed, and Coast Guardsmen will not be granted administrative leave for abortion.

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was scheduled to appear in federal court in New York City on Wednesday, but his court date was postponed to next month.

Mangione’s legal team has argued that Mangione’s rights were violated when he was arrested because they say he wasn’t read his Miranda rights and that authorities collected his DNA illegally by offering him a snack and drink before he was arrested. His next federal court appearance is scheduled for April 18.

The accused assassin was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after Thompson was shot in the back in New York City on his way to an investor conference on Dec. 4.

Spoiler Alert — Trump Is Going to Outlast Wearisome Activist Judges – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

One of the greatest political books I’ve ever read was written almost thirty years ago by the late, great Robert Bork, the brilliant jurist who was kept off the of the Supreme Court in 1987 by a couple of lying scumbag United States Senators named Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden. Yeah, that’s a painful reminder that the younger, semi-coherent (he was always a little off) Biden was just as bad for America as the drooling spaz who spent the last four years autopenning the country into oblivion.

The book was titled “Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline.” As far as prophetic political tomes written in my adult lifetime go, it was surpassed only by Mark Steyn’s “America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It.”

The thing that stuck with me the most when I read “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” shortly after it was published was Bork’s warning about the growing, dangerous role that liberal activist judges would play in wreaking havoc here in the United States. There were already signs of that when the book was published in the late ’90s. However, what we’re dealing with today makes Bork look like the second coming of Nostradamus.

We’ve been subjected to the tawdry spectacle of activist judges doing whatever they wish with the law in order to keep Donald Trump from returning to the presidency. Since that didn’t work and he’s once again President Trump, the hyperactive, extrajudicial loons are throwing tantrums in an effort to thwart his agenda.

Jimmy Kimmel appeared to endorse violent attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners — some of which have involved homemade explosive devices — during Tuesday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The alleged comedian began by pointing to the recent dip in the Musk-owned company’s stock price, which comes amidst a market-wide rough couple of weeks. “Our co-president Elon Musk sent a SpaceX vehicle to bring the astronauts back and when they landed he fired them immediately upon landing. Tesla stock is way down, almost disastrously so,” Kimmel claimed.

The joke drew loud cheers from the audience, even though Tesla’s stock price is still up 38 percent over the past year. Kimmel then addressed the recent acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles that have been plaguing the country in recent weeks.

“People have been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please don’t vandalize, don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles,” Kimmel said before briefly pausing and looking into the camera. The crowd then laughed at the ABC host’s wink and nod at political violence.

The House Judiciary Committee will take early steps to investigate federal judges who have blocked President Donald Trump‘s executive agenda as the president and hard-line House Republicans push for impeachment.

After weeks of House GOP lawmakers and Trump blasting federal judges for blocking executive actions such as illegal immigrant deportations, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) heeded the president’s calls and filed articles of impeachment against James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

A handful of other judges face impeachment attempts from House Republicans after ruling against Trump this year, including Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York and Judges Amir Ali and John Bates out of Washington, D.C.

House Republicans could take initial steps on investigating judges as soon as next week when they return to Washington, though an exact time frame has not been established.

Excerpt:

You may have heard of the concept of a 15-minute city and are wondering what one is. Here is a farmer to explain with chickens.

Before we start, the idea of a “15-minute city” tends to be fodder for conspiracy theorists. As if there is a grand cabal of global elites looking to control people by limiting them to a fifteen-minute radius and use other dystopian methods to control every aspect of their lives. Get those dark thoughts out of your head.

As WikiPedia tells us, a 15-minute city is nothing more than an “urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city” to “reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve the overall quality of life for city dwellers.”

Yes, Dems’ Favorability Just Hit Record Lows, But 1992 Offers a Cautionary Tale– legalinsurrection.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Republicans are celebrating new polls from NBC News and CNN, which show the Democratic Party at its lowest favorability since 1990 and 1992, respectively. While this is encouraging for the GOP, history serves as a reminder that despite similarly bleak numbers, Bill Clinton still won the presidency in 1992.

An NBC News poll released on Sunday found that only 27% of respondents have a positive view of the Democratic Party—the lowest rating since 1990. Among them, just 7% described their views as ‘very’ positive.

That same day, a CNN poll found that 29% of respondents had a “favorable” view of the Democratic Party—a level not seen since 1992. For context, when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, just two weeks after the January 6 Capitol riot, the party’s favorability stood at 49%.

These results are certainly encouraging for Republicans. Given the Democratic Party’s increasingly aggressive “whatever it takes” approach to politics over the past decade—an approach that some argue is both unethical and potentially illegal—this decline in favorability is hardly surprising. Rather than offering original policy ideas or working with Republicans on issues that matter to most voters, Democratic lawmakers have focused their efforts almost entirely on obstructing President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Biden Claimed He Created Jobs, But Almost ALL of Them went to Illegals– lidblog.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

 

Joe Biden repeatedly claimed he created millions of jobs as president, but it turns out almost all of them went to illegal aliens.

Peter Navarro, the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for President Donald Trump, told Breitbart News that the Biden administration told a lot of lies about the economy under Biden.

Per Breitbart News:

“Both capital and labor are mobile, okay. Now think about that. So, depending on conditions, you’re in Britain, right, labor is mobile, and the next thing you know, you got the world coming in to your factories willing to undercut your wages by a significant amount,” Navarro said. “And then soon, everybody in these blue-collar English towns are speaking Polish or Czechoslovakian and whatever.”

Under former President Joe Biden, Navarro said, roughly all new job growth went to illegal aliens and legal immigrants, not American citizens.

“Immigration is fine if it benefits a country, but [not] if it totally destroys a country,” Navarro said.
