Last week a judge in Miami ordered the shut down of the detention site known as Alligator Alcatraz. U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams entered a preliminary injunction to prevent the installation of any additional industrial-style lighting and any site expansion. Her ruling further prevents “bringing any additional persons ... who were not already being detained at the site at the time of this order.”...Within 60 days, “and once the population attrition allows for safe implementation of this Order,” the facility must also remove “all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste and waste receptacles that were installed to support this...

Dozens of CDC employees turned a "clap-out" for fired and resigning members of the CDC hierarchy into an impromptu walkout to protest the change of policies imposed by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Particularly bold were those who shook hands with the former "monkeypox czar," without knowing where that appendage had recently been. The event was the culmination of the tumultuous 30-day reign of CDC Director Susan Monarez, during which she made it abundantly clear that she was not interested in collaborating with RFK, Jr., on his "MAHA" agenda. Once it became clear that Monarez was out and CDC...

"I think Erwin is great, he's so smart and always telling us about the amazing experiments he's working on, but he asked to borrow our cat a while back and I'm a bit concerned what happened next," said neighbor Fritz Weinberger. "We'd really like to know where Herr Shnitzel-Muncher ended up." Schrödinger reportedly asked to borrow the large tabby cat to...

It’s time to call a spade a spadeThe notion that the Fed is some kind of sterling institution needs to be put to bed. This is particularly true of the Powell Fed which has experienced multiple scandals involving criminal activity. The fact that no one went to jail because “laws are for little people” doesn’t absolve the Fed.Let’s wind back the clocks.During the pandemic, when millions of people were losing their jobs, despairing of their futures, and terrified of dying, senior Fed officials were making MILLIONS of dollars trading on insider information based on Fed policy decisions.Specifically, three Fed Presidents,...

While researching Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America’s Legal System Against Donald Trump, I uncovered a list of billionaire “philanthropists” who were using their immense wealth to fund the lawfare superstructure. Some are familiar to this audience, like George Soros and Reid Hoffman, but others are likely unknown to you. I summarize some key findings here. One name that was new to me prior to beginning work on Breaking the Law was Herb Sandler. (Sandler and Soros collaborate, as I explain below.) I did a long interview with Dr. Michael Savage for his podcast, which just appeared on...

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned her predecessor Jen Psaki on Thursday for comments dismissing prayer in the wake of a mass shooting at a Roman Catholic school in Minnesota that left two children dead. "I saw the comments of my predecessor, Ms. Psaki, and frankly, I think they're incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens of millions of Americans of faith across this country who believe in the power of prayer," Leavitt said during a press briefing at the White House. With class and calm, Karoline Leavitt just absolutely wrecked Jen Psaki for mocking the power...

When news hit last week that federal agents had raided John Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington office, the reaction was as predictable as it was hysterical. The left immediately leapt into hysterics, spinning the story as proof of Trump’s alleged obsession with revenge, tying it to Bolton’s bitter falling-out with him. Within hours, the usual chorus was screeching the same tired lines: Democracy is under attack! Trump is a dictator! This was pure political retribution! Only it wasn’t. A new report from—if you can believe it—the New York Times has thrown cold water on that absurd little storyline. According to...

Parents and children were stunned after a violent brawl broke out between an umpire and a coach during a youth baseball game in Rosemead. The fight occurred at Rosemead Park Fields on Aug. 24 as dozens of children and families were watching the tournament. Witnesses said the assistant coach had approached the umpire multiple times, visibly upset about a call in a previous play. When the umpire ejected him from the game, the coach reportedly spat in the umpire’s face and yelled, “You’re a f***ing little b****!” The umpire dragged the coach to the ground and attempted to kick him...

Evil defeated tolerance again yesterday, in George Floyd’s Minneapolis.Just days after the Democratic National Committee held its “Summer Camp” in the Minneapple, with a speaker remarking that most Americans don’t care about migrant crime or carjackings, a “trans” person shot and killed two children and injured 17 other people at a Catholic school in the city. 23-year-old Robert Westman, who changed his name to “Robin” Westman six years ago because he identified as a female, eventually turned a gun on himself after the extended bout of senseless carnage.Westman (wonder why he didn’t change his last name, too) reportedly had a...

...The Wall Street Journal wrote the hit piece against DNI Tulsi Gabbard, sourced to two “people familiar with the matter,” and “three other people with knowledge of the situation.” They all needed to coordinate with the WSJ. Think about it. The substance of the story is that among the 37 current and former Intelligence Community officials Tulsi Gabbard recently stripped of their security clearances, was an “undercover CIA agent” located within one of those agencies..

Throughout history, starting and then losing unprovoked wars has been a reliable way for dictators to forfeit their grip on power, either at the vengeful hands of the countries they targeted, via palace coups by disgruntled elites or occasionally even through uprisings by ordinary citizens weary of making sacrifices for a tyrant's deadly delusions. Within days of losing the Falklands Islands War to the United Kingdom in 1982, Argentina's General Leopoldo Galtieri, the leader of the embattled military junta that had launched the war to head off popular demands for new elections, resigned his office and started the process of...
