The depopulation bomb imploding in China is more powerful than ever according to shocking new figures just published by Australia's Victoria University in Melbourne. It just seems like last month [It was just last month, Steve — editor] that I reported for you that Chinese women seemed to be voting against strongman Xi Jinping's return to True Communism™ with the only means available to them — their uteri. Live births were down in 2023 by another 500,000 under 2022's dismal figure. That puts the People's Republic fertility rate nearly at 1.0, or about half of the 2.1 required just to...

Democrats are all about throwing scraps to their political base. They throw 'abortion' to women voters as if they were all one bloc with solely this concern, and 'amnesty' or open borders to Latinos, as if they were all a single bloc, too. At election time, they come out with their offerings and tick their group boxes -- women, Latinos, what have you. Once they've done that, they dust their hands off, and then go back to lining their cronies' pockets. For Democrats, it's that simple. But what happens if they ... make a mistake? Instead of throwing alfafa at...

Argentina's president, Javier Milei, traveled to Jerusalem to announce the moving of Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem, the Israeli capital where it belongs. While he was there, he put on a kippeh and pray quite intensely at the Western wailing wall. The left, of course, abused him because of course they did, but it didn't stop him. Pro Palestinians mocked & ridiculed the Argentinian President for shedding tears at the Western Wall. Yesterday at 1:00 am, 2 Argentinian Israeli hostages were rescued by IDF. Psalm 170:6 They cried out to the Lord in their distress & the Lord delivered them from...

The past few years have been one of the worst periods for first-time homebuyers in America's history.Record home prices, chronically low inventory, 22-year-high mortgage rates, and bidding wars with cash- and equity-flush buyers have locked many younger buyers out of the housing market.According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), first-time homebuyers made up just 32% of all transactions last year—the fourth lowest share seen in more than 40 years.While would-be homeowners bide their time, Creditnews Research looked at America’s 50 largest metro areas to uncover housing markets that are still attractive for first-time buyers.Our ranking shows how easy it...

The Palestinian deceit: The true story after 75 years of unbelievable anti-Israeli fake news.One issue on which the historical assessment is almost unanimously in favour of the ‘Palestinian’ side is undoubtedly that of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The very few publications that offer a more cautious or at least neutral assessment of the Israeli camp come mainly from Jewish or Israeli authors. What was lacking was a counter-cultural and therefore courageous, well-documented, yet fluent and not infrequently ironic vade mecum on a very complex subject, written by someone who is not a party to the conflict. The reader will be surprised...

When Republicans are in office, everybody in the MSM is a neuroscientist, psychologist, and oracle capable of and required to opine on the mental fitness of the president and to predict exactly the disastrous consequences of their decisions. When a Democrat is in office, no matter how obvious a Democrat's corruption or disability, it takes a (Left-leaning) "expert" to tell you that what you see before your eyes is false. In that spirit, Americans are being gaslit once again on Joe Biden's obvious lawbreaking, double-dealing, influence peddling, and most importantly his manifest inability to perform his duties as president. That...

President Joe Biden's campaign has joined TikTok, despite the app being banned on most US government devices over security concerns. His campaign launched its account with the username "@bidenhq" during the Super Bowl on Sunday. In a launch video, captioned "lol hey guys", aides quizzed Mr Biden about his preferences for the big game. The president signed legislation in 2022 blocking most federal government devices from using TikTok. Several states have also adopted the measure. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have called for the app - owned by Chinese company ByteDance - to be banned in the US...

For months, people have been openly wondering who is the real power behind the throne in the Biden administration? Who is really running the country? We now know who is calling the shots when it comes to their policy on the border. Word is that former Obama security adviser Susan Rice is calling the tune on border issues. Additionally, members of Biden’s team must have been looking at polling on immigration and the border, because they have formed a circular firing squad over the issues. Axios reported: Infighting broke out among those on Biden’s team. Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice...

The news is breaking today that the person who walked into Lakewood Church in Houston on Sunday afternoon and opened fire was transgender. I have been waiting for more information about this shooting, as a Houstonian, and as a media observer. When the shooting was breaking news, one aspect of the story didn't sit well with me. It seemed as though local law enforcement and the media were not transparent with all they knew. It seemed like they were holding back. Frankly, I was waiting for the shooter to be identified as an illegal alien. It turns out it is...

Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk in an X Space on Monday for more than one hour to slam efforts to rush through tens of millions of dollars in additional funding for Ukraine’s stalemate war against Russia. The discussion occurred before a crucial expected Monday night procedural vote on the foreign aid package. Sixty senators are needed for that vote on cloture to end debate on the bill, clearing the way for a likely Wednesday vote on final passage. The trio of senators urged listeners to contact their House...

Nearly two dozen lefty activists were arrested Monday for breaching President Biden’s Delaware campaign headquarters in protest of his policies on the climate and Israel-Hamas war. “Young people won’t support a President who flip flops on climate action and who funds genocide,” Sunrise Movement, the group behind the demonstration, warned in an X post. The 21 “adult subjects” who were arrested out of around 100 protesters that gathered outside the Biden campaign office will be charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, according to the Wilmington Police Department. Those arrested made their way up to the eighth floor of the...

Embattled Dept. of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas sat down for an interview Sunday with NBC's "Meet the Press," where among the issues discussed were the border crisis, the House GOP's attempts to impeach him, and the Hur report. The Hur report, as we've also talked about, has brought about a plethora of frenzied reactions from officials in Joe Biden's administration, including White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who during the Monday press briefing actually claimed Biden didn't need to take a cognitive test because he "proves every day how he operates, how he thinks," an alarming statement if there ever...

Political junkies might be in for quite a treat on Thursday. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has found herself embroiled in quite a scandal that could deal significant damage to her politically motivated effort to prosecute former President Donald Trump. On Monday, reports confirmed that a Georgia state judge will hold a hearing this Thursday to look at allegations that Willis engaged in an improper romantic relationship with one of the prosecutors she hired to prosecute the former president.A Georgia state judge on Monday confirmed that he will hold an evidentiary hearing on Thursday over allegations that embattled District...

There's some new damning and embarrassing information from the Special Counsel's report now coming out, and if it wasn't bad enough for Joe Biden before, it is now. The Hur report indicated what a complete disaster Biden was in terms of keeping and not returning classified documents. What's described here is insane, and former president Donald Trump didn't come close to any of this. RealClear Investigations reporter Benjamin Weingarten grabbed some of the most damning and concerning parts. So Joe was cavalier with documents while he was Vice President too.https://t.co/p5IBSj4ZbB pic.twitter.com/Na4rQTeelt— Benjamin Weingarten (@bhweingarten) February 9, 2024He had all kinds...

MOSCOW, February 12. /TASS/. The West prepares to establish the office of a "viceroy" in Ukraine with constant access to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said in a statement. "The West continues to strengthen the mechanisms of direct external management of Kiev-controlled territory," Naryshkin said. "According to the obtained information, the US and the UK try to convince other G7 states to establish the office of a 'special representative' for Ukraine." "It is expected that this person will have constant access to President Zelensky and know about all his plans. The 'special representative'...

A Georgia judge considering bombshell complaints about Fulton County DA Fani Willis says an evidentiary hearing will go ahead Thursday where a judge will weigh claims to disqualify her from the case of a Donald Trump associate. The lawyer for the Trump associated, accused of taking part in the 'fake electors' scheme in the state, plans to call a series of witnesses who will speak to allegations of an 'inappropriate' relationship between Willis and a lawyer on her team, in a conflagration set to draw Trump inside yet another courthouse. Among witnesses the lawyer plans to call are the DA's...

The Gantt Report, By Lucius Gantt – I don’t know Fulton County DA Fani Willis, but I love her. She is the standard of excellence for Black elected officials. I opine about politicians. I write about them in The Gantt Report more times than my readers want me to. However, Fani Willis is not your average Mama Bear. When former President Donald Trump went to sleep and dreamed, he could overturn the Presidential election votes, in my hometown and in the State of Georgia, he woke up in a nightmare!

Beware of accounts saying their airline representatives coming to your rescue if you find yourself directly complaining to an airline on X.Air travel has become pretty crappy over the last few years, causing travelers to take to social media to vent their concerns directly to airlines. Everything from lost baggage to ticketing issues is shouted about in Tweet form. As usual, scammers have taken notice and have started to “help” travelers with these problems as the Washington Post reports. Post reporter Mike Hume recently had a flight delay issue on a trip in January with JetBlue and he complained directly...

Lakewood Church shooter, an El Salvadorian immigrant (likely illegal) was previously detained by ICE, but records show she also voted in the 2020 general election????

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced a reduction in DMV and Parks & Recreation services Friday to help the city deal with the influx of migrants after the failure of a bipartisan immigration bill in Congress. "This is a plan for shared sacrifice. This is what good people do in hard situations as you try to manage your way to serve all of your values. Our values are we want to continue to be a city that does not have women and children out on the street in tents in 20 degree weather," Johnston said in a Friday morning news conference....
