The conspiracy between a corrupt set of bureaucracies (including the Justice Department, the IRS, and the intelligence community) and an equally corrupt and enabling elite media is astonishing. The Durham Report is just one more confirmation of the devastating level of dishonesty and manipulation which have characterized the last few years.Some analysts believe the open corruption can be traced back to Lois Lerner and the IRS scandal, in which she clearly stonewalled conservative organizations from getting tax status. When she was found to be in contempt of Congress, the Obama Justice Department spent two years ignoring the congressional contempt charge...

California's movie industry is as woke as all of California. However California seems powerless to resist slitting their own throats if it has anything to do with guns.

Is Biden targeting white republicans' small businesses the same way Stalin targeted the Kulaks during the holodomor? Biden is not only targeting small business truckers, he is also targeting family farms By Ezequiel Doiny On April 17, 2023 Madeline Coggins wrote in Fox Business "The trucking industry is sounding the alarm on consequential ripple effects of the Biden administration's latest move in the electric vehicle push. While critics have voiced concerns about the EPA's recent emissions regulations, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), a trade organization that represents small business truckers, warns the restrictions are dangerous and threaten small businesses...

Illegal immigrants are coached to voluntarily withdraw their asylum claims, return to Mexico, and then return to the United States on humanitarian grounds, according to a U.S. Border Patrol union leader. Manny Bayon, a National Border Patrol Council union spokesman in San Diego, told The Epoch Times on May 26 that migrants who enter the United States illegally in Yuma, Arizona, are being bused to the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry in San Diego County. From there, he said, they are returned to Mexico but are allowed to re-enter the United States by applying for “humanitarian parole”...

What do the would-be Masters of the Universe have planned for us for the coming year? Economic collapse? A new digital currency? Expanded surveillance state? Global food shortages? Energy grid collapse? Pandemic 2.0? We do not know precisely, but we can get a general idea of the ugly agenda the globalists are pursuing from the just-concluded Bilderberg meeting. This is the annual ultra-secretive, ultra-high-level assembly of the world movers and shakers of Big Finance, Big Business, Big Media, Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Government: Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Prudential, AXA, Google, Microsoft, Palantir, DeepMind, OpenAI, Shell, Pfizer, Merck, Bloomberg,...

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sent a letter to Congress on Friday, saying that the government will now have until June 5 before it runs out of money to pay its bills rather than the June 1 deadline she had announced. "Based on the most recent available data, we now estimate that Treasury will have insufficient resources to satisfy the government's obligations if Congress has not raised or suspended the debt limit by June 5," Yellen said, according to ABC News. That allows congressional leaders a few more days to negotiate with the White House. Congressional leaders were expected to vote...

Way back in October 2021, Vox released a video about nuclear power featuring Cleo Abrams. The gist of the video was that New York’s then-recent decision to shut down Indian Point nuclear reactor was a bad idea. As Abrams pointed out in a 10-minute clip, shutting down nuclear reactors is completely counter-productive, especially for anyone who believes climate change is a problem that has to be dealt with immediately.What happened when NY shut down Indian Point? The state suddenly lost a major source of electric power which was soon replaced by power created by burning more natural gas. As Abrams...

The Los Angeles Dodgers told many in their fan base to go to hell by inviting, disinviting, and then comically re-inviting the hyper-sexualized, Catholic-mocking LGBTQIA+ activist group “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” to come onto the field for Pride Night in June to accept a “community hero” award.Their heroic acts include putting on “Hunky Jesus” revues and showcasing men dressed as Catholic nuns simulating gay sex in obvious (and obscene) attempts to mock the Church. Catholic League president Bill Donohue describes their antics:[The group is] “known for simulating sodomy while dressed as nuns. They like to feature a ‘Condom Savior Mass,’...

“Racial justice.” This one is going to make your teeth hurt. And if you’re a business owner with employees, it might make your blood boil. Either way, if this is “racial justice,” this country will ultimately be screwed.A newly-hired trainer at a high-end gym on New York City’s Upper East Side showed up late for work 47 times in just 10 months before she was fired for chronic lateness. The trainer then sued her now-former employer— which resulted in a judgment ordering the gym franchise to pay her $11.25 million in damages.Here’s more, via The New York Times:Between 2018 and...

As the world struggles to understand Vladimir Putin’s motivations in Ukraine, some critics have resorted to jibes about the Russian president’s height. Britain’s Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has called him a “lunatic” with “small man syndrome”, while US Republican Senator Mitt Romney said he was a “small, evil, feral-eyed man”. At an estimated 5ft 7in, Putin has been labelled as having “Napoleon complex”. But he is only half an inch shorter than the global mean height for adult men and - as The New European points out - is joined by a “new generation of short kings”. Jeremy Clarkson suggested...

A San Francisco Chronicle health reporter says there’s a shortage of evidence for what for others is something that’s incredibly obvious: Experts say a paucity of research on transgender athletes makes it difficult to determine if trans women actually are faster or stronger. The science is even murkier for young athletes.https://t.co/IL7A5qPWZB — San Francisco Chronicle (@sfchronicle) May 27, 2023 This is something else: Two female runners competing in a state high school championship this weekend have come under attack because people believe they are transgender and therefore may have an unfair advantage. But the science is far from clear as...

A pro-Trump rap group’s single, titled “Boycott Target,” has exploded online, racking up nearly three million views and climbing to number #6 on the iTunes Charts. Forgiato Blow, Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli, and Stoney Dudebro created the hit song, boasting lyrics about retail giant Target “targeting” your children with Satanic and sexualized goods. “There’s a cleanup on every aisle/Target is targetin’ your kids,” the song’s lyrics open. “This agenda’s gotta stop, they know we gonna win.” “Target, Target, yeah they targetin’/Target, Target, yeah they target kids,” the song goes, continuing on to lyrics about the LGBT agenda going “too far.”...

We have been keeping one eye on the rise of AI chatbots and we think maybe they’re this year’s Nintendo Power Glove. If you don’t remember this device, here’s an old ad for it: Nintendo Power Glove ad (1989):pic.twitter.com/HdlC9GqPug — Jon Erlichman (@JonErlichman) August 12, 2020 What the ad was selling to you was ‘the dream’ of what motion control can be. What that ad showed the Power Glove doing is something pretty close to what you could actually do on the Wii or the PlayStation Move, not to mention all the virtual reality control schemes we see today.
