As has been long predicted, the first of many hit pieces on Casey DeSantis, the wife of Ron DeSantis, has dropped. Politico did the honors on Friday, attacking the recent cancer survivor as too involved in her husband’s life, citing numerous anonymous sources and some non-anonymous ones who really should have been. The big bombshell in the story can be summarized as follows: Ron and Casey DeSantis have a good marriage, and they also support each other in their endeavors. I know, it’s shocking stuff, but Politico did its level best to try to turn Casey DeSantis into an ominous...

Adidas will start selling some of the shoes from its defunct Yeezy partnership with rapper Kanye West at the end of May, the company said on Friday, and plans to donate the proceeds to selected organizations combating racism and hate. The news fleshes out plans initially outlined last week and follows Adidas’ move to cut ties with West over anti-Semitic comments made last year, leaving the German sporting goods maker with Yeezy brand shoes worth 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion). The initial sale of some of the shoes marks the first time the products have been available to customers since...

Mayor Eric Adams has made his anger at President Biden over the migrant crisis very clear. Good. Proving that the DeSantis/Abbott strategy of busing and flying migrants to Blue cities is working, more and more mayors and governors are speaking out against current Biden policies. Someday, perhaps, the political momentum will shift decisively against the president’s policies. In the meantime, though, the crisis is growing. Adams has revealed that nearly 50%–so far–of hotel rooms in New York City are now housing migrants at city expense. 50% ... This explains why the city planned to house migrants in public school gymnasiums–a...

Critics bashed an online profile Friday of the wife of expected presidential contender and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling the piece misogynistic and vicious. The Politico article, “The Casey DeSantis Problem: ‘His Greatest Asset and His Greatest Liability,” quoted anonymous former DeSantis staffers, alleged insiders and Democratic strategists who accused the first lady of Florida of being “blindly ambitious” in an effort to help her husband become the next US president. SNIP The story labeled the 42-year-old former Jacksonville TV anchor, breast-cancer survivor and mom of three “paranoid” and “vindictive” while quoting a male DeSantis supporter who said she needed...

We fight against a truly unprecedented disinformation campaign, where the liars are claiming that everyone else is giving out misinformation, basically turning truth on its head. While propaganda takes many forms, mainstream corporate media play a crucial role. The good news is that people are starting to catch on and trust in corporate media has dropped to an all-time low. By the early 1900s – literally a century ago – American journalists like Upton Sinclair and George Seldes were discussing the corruption of the media, how they were owned by big business with a profit agenda, and how they were...

Even if all “plant-based” foods were, in fact, natural, made from clean vegetables, fruit, and seeds, a purely vegan diet would be insufficient to keep most people healthy. Nutrients that are only found in animal foods include preformed vitamins A, B12, D3 and K2 (MK4 subtype), haem iron, taurine, carnosine, creatine, CLA, EPA, and DHA. Nutrients low in plants include zinc, iodine, methionine, leucine, choline, and glycine. Furthermore, plants often have different forms of the same nutrient that are less bioavailable and are metabolised differently

We’ve normalised wholesale animal suffering in exchange for vacuum-packed protein slices and corporate profits. Vegans say: “Please, just stop this insanity! It’s the crime of the century!” And they’re right. But the animal holocaust argument ignores the fact that we could also work with animals without subjecting them to, err, a holocaust. The current system of chemically induced mono-crops that serial produce arid land and separate animals from nature is unsustainable. However, with the Holistic Planned Grazing method – when the animals are allowed to roam in a way that leaves enough resting time for the soil to recover –...

“Terrible things happen when you lack the moral courage to refuse a steak,” they say. “Meatless diets will be good for humans and the planet.” It takes decades of engineered narratives to get to this level of mindf*ckery, Jan Wellman writes. It takes a century’s worth of psyops to swallow the anti-meat narrative as if it was a series of scientific arguments. Unfortunately, it’s not the first time we’ve been taken for a ride. Jan Wellmann has written an essay that considers six arguments given by those who push the anti-meat agenda. These are reasons which are commonly used to...

The queries targeted people involved in Jan. 6 and George Floyd protests, and donors to a failed congressional candidate ... The FBI improperly used warrantless search powers against U.S. citizens more than 278,000 times in the year ending November 2021, according to an unsealed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) filing. U.S. citizens covered in that improper effort included people involved in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021; George Floyd protesters during the summer of 2020; and donors to a failed congressional candidate, the filing said. ...

WASHINGTON—Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.), a former Louisiana sheriff, physically removed a protester who crossed into a Republican news conference on May 17 and approached Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) in a way Higgins described as “threatening.” The news conference, during which Higgins, Boebert, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), and others expressed their opposition to ongoing treaty negotiations with the World Health Organization, was interrupted when a left-wing protester began heckling members of Congress. After the protester crossed into the news conference, Higgins removed him. The conference was in the House Triangle, one of the most popular news conference...

In November 2019 in an exclusive report, The Gateway Pundit uncovered evidence that showed that on Jeff Sessions’ first day in office, he was committed to recusing himself as President Trump’s Attorney General and handing over the Department of Justice to the crooks in the Deep State.

Ron DeSantis’ wife is going to play a very prominent role in his presidential campaign. Some of his supporters wonder if that’s an entirely good thing. [cut] And it’s not just opponents and others with axes to grind who think this. “She is both his biggest asset and his biggest liability. And I say biggest asset in that I think she does make him warmer, softer,” Dan Eberhart, a DeSantis donor and supporter, told me. “But he needs to be surrounded with professional people, not just her,” he said. “I’ve heard from staffers frustrated that they think the governor’s made...
