    There comes a time in every man’s life when he must face the consequences of thinking for himself. For me, that moment arrived in a quiet digital knock at midnight—the “Community Guidelines Violation” email. Innocent enough on the surface. But it was the beginning of my journey through what can only be described as the Google Digital Re-Education Camp™. You think gulags are bad? Try being shadow banned so thoroughly your own mom can’t find your content. Welcome to Camp Compliance The invitation was simple: “Attend voluntarily or disappear algorithmically.” At first, I resisted. I figured I’d survive in the...

    Eighteen states are suing the Trump Administration over the President's decision to end government subsidies to the firms that supply or operate the equipment needed to capture wind energy. New York State Attorney General Letitia James pointed out that "without these subsidies the wind industry cannot survive. The power generated by harnessing the wind is not cost-effective. Consumers are not willing to pay what it costs to generate this energy for their use. By cutting the subsidies this administration is devastating one of our nation's fastest-growing sources of clean, reliable and affordable energy." Energy Secretary Chris Wright observed that "while...

    Doctors discovered a “small nodule” in former President Joe Biden’s prostate during a recent physical, which required more examination, according to several reports. A spokesperson confirmed to ABC News that “In a routine physical exam a small nodule was found in the prostate which necessitated further evaluation.” Per the outlet: A “small nodule” can mean a wide range of things and will require further testing to understand the underlying cause. It is too early to say if it is a benign lump caused by inflammation or something more serious. A spokesman also confirmed to the New York Times that Biden...

    It will do little to stop the lower courts from continuing to flood the country with nationwide injunctions interfering with the Trump Administration.On Thursday, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in three consolidated cases concerning the propriety of the nationwide injunctions entered against the Trump Administration barring implementation of the president’s birthright citizenship executive order. While President Trump seems assured of scoring a victory from the Supreme Court in these cases, a win will do little to stop the lower courts from continuing to flood the country with nationwide injunctions interfering with the Trump Administration’s execution of its American-first...

    Important events are developing on the international political scene - according to Keith Kellogg, the US special representative for Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin may personally participate in the Russia-Ukraine talks scheduled for May 15 in Istanbul.

If so, then President Trump may also come to Istanbul. This will be a completely unexpected, historic meeting," he told reporters. Hope and pressure from Trump's visit According to a...

    PJ Media ^ | 05/13/2025 | Matt Margolis
    The Democrats have been desperate to find a scandal to pin on Trump, and their latest attempt may be the stupidest yet. It was recently reported that the Trump administration is gearing up to accept a high-end Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the Qatari royal family—a luxury aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One during President Trump’s second term. Naturally, the left is already losing its mind, but here’s the reality: this is a win for taxpayers. In the wake of media hysteria over the offer from Qatar to provide the United States with an aircraft, Buzz...

    It looks like the universe may end much sooner than anticipated. Dutch researchers have looked into the initial theories about when the universe is likely to cease to exist. The team from Radboud University in the Netherlands put their heads together and used Hawking radiation to come to a conclusion. This theory is named after the late Stephen Hawking, who came up with the idea that black holes leak radiation and they eventually evaporate. Scientists at the university then used this theory on other objects in the universe — neutron stars and white dwarfs, for example — and discovered that...

  • In these parts of California, earning less than $100,000 makes you ‘low income’

    Los Angeles Times ^ | May 13, 2025 3 AM PT | Terry Castleman and Kaitlyn Huamani
    As the cost of living skyrockets, driven by a housing affordability crisis, the very definition of being “low income” is changing. In Orange, Santa Barbara and San Diego counties, the threshold for a low-income single-person household will soon surpass $100,000 if current trends continue, according to data published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development in April. California defines income levels by how they compare with the area’s median income. But in areas with unusually low or high housing costs, those definitions are often tweaked to reflect the reality on the ground for residents. Therefore, someone earning $100,000...

    Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees could face holds until Attorney General Pam Bondi provides “answers” to Congress on the $400 million jet from Qatar. Shaheen said, “With respect to Qatar and the plane, I think there are serious constitutional questions about this, but there are also questions about national security. Sadly, the president doesn’t seem to be too concerned about national security. He’s been willing to allow his secretary of defense to engage in classified discussions over unclassified channels. He has, again, looking at accepting this plane without thinking...

    President Donald Trump’s confirmation Sunday that the United States may accept a presidential aircraft gifted from Qatar marked the latest escalation in his clash with Boeing, which is years behind on its government contract to build the new Air Force One.Boeing was supposed to deliver a replacement for Air Force One last year, but significant delays have cost the plane maker billions on the project. They have also drawn ire from the president, who told reporters aboard Air Force One in February that he was “not happy with Boeing” and may purchase a plane elsewhere.Now, as the U.S. government weighs...

    President Donald Trump took a blistering shot at establishment media double standards in a fiery White House rebuke Monday. While speaking at the White House, Trump took a moment to shame the media for the lack of attention given to some of the atrocities happening in South Africa against white Afrikaners — a topic the president cares deeply about. “It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about,” the U.S. president told reporters. “But it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white. “But whether they’re white or...

    President Trump’s U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reached out to the ACLJ after learning from our article about how a hospital was forcing medical professionals to participate in abortions, and now HHS has just launched a federal investigation of the hospital. The ACLJ is pleased to report a critical development in the ongoing fight to protect the rights of pro-life medical professionals. After we took action on behalf of five ultrasound technicians in New Mexico who were concerned that they would soon be compelled to participate in abortion procedures despite their deeply held religious beliefs, the federal...

    G.O.P. leaders are exploring cuts to federal aid, leaving some states fearful that their budgets cannot absorb billions of dollars in new costs.When Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland signs his state’s budget into law as soon as Tuesday, it will signify the end of a difficult saga in which local leaders cut spending and raised some fees just to close a larger-than-expected $3 billion deficit. But Mr. Moore, a Democrat, is already bracing for the next fiscal fight. Maryland and its finances are highly influenced by the federal government, and the Trump administration is looking to cut vast swaths of...

    RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — President Donald Trump in a speech in Saudi Arabia urged Iran to take a “new and a better path” as he pushes for a new nuclear deal. Trump said at the U.S.-Saudi investment conference, during a four-day Middle East trip, that he wants to avoid conflict with Tehran. “As I have shown repeatedly, I am willing to end past conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even if our differences may be profound,” Trump said.
