"The more contradiction you carry, the more reality resists you. Because you’re fracturing the signal with every step." — SightBringer on "X" Don’t be too surprised if sometime later this day, Friday, the president invokes the Insurrection Act to tranquilize the city of Minneapolis, since aerial spraying of Olanzapine is probably out of the question. Where, oh where, are the mythologized “nice,” and “above-average” people of Minnesota, once praised in song and sketch on those long-ago Saturday nights of The Prairie Home Companion? They have been replaced by a mutant army of psychotic Transtifa wendigos on the payroll of Arabella...

@LindseyGrahamSC I just landed in Israel, the one and only Jewish State, and America’s strongest ally and friend since its founding. If you think I flew all the way to Israel after having not slept much in days to make sure we do not hold the ayatollah’s murderous regime accountable for the slaughter of its own people, being the largest state sponsor of terrorism with Americans’ blood on its hands, and who has an endless quest to cheat and obtain a nuclear weapon to advance their sick religious Nazi beliefs, then you have missed a lot. I look forward to...

The Trump administration and several state governors on Friday urged the largest electricity grid in the U.S. to make the big technology companies pay for new power plants. Electricity prices have exploded in recent years on PJM Interconnection due in part to the data centers that tech companies are building to train and power artificial intelligence. The PJM grid serves more than 65 million people across 13 states and Washington, D.C. Its service area includes northern Virginia, the largest data center market in the world. The Trump administration and several states signed a pact that calls for tech companies to...

Judge Regina M. Rodriguez (D. Colo.) decided yesterday in U.S. v. Blackcloud; for more on the case, see this November 2024 press release by the U.S. Attorney's office in Colorado: The U.S.Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado announces that Derrick Bernard Jr., 35, [Ashley] Blackcloud, 40, and Deanna West,38, were indicted by a federal grand jury for maliciously conveying false information about a threat made by means of fire: a burning cross in front of a campaign sign defaced with a racial slur. According to the indictment, the three defendants were charged for their alleged roles in a conspiracy...

A 21-year-old college student who said he was blinded in one eye by a projectile fired by a federal officer during a Southern California protest said he faces a drastically different life now.Kaden Rummler said in an interview that he was in agonizing pain and underwent an extensive six-hour surgery to his left eye after he was injured at a Jan. 9 protest over the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis. Rummler said he has no depth perception and can no longer drive. Shards of metal and a nickel-sized piece of plastic...

The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks. Subpoenas are likely to be issued in the probe, sources familiar with the matter...

The prompts were simple. First, I told ⁦@grok⁩ to look at every single Amelia meme on the Internet. Second, I said: “Become Amelia, then make a video and tell the British people what you want them to know.” Here’s the surprising result.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration warned airlines on Friday to exercise caution when flying over Mexico, Central America and parts of South America, citing the risks of potential military activities and GPS interference. The FAA said it had issued Notices to Airmen covering Mexico and Central American countries, as well as Ecuador, Colombia and portions of airspace within the eastern Pacific Ocean. The warnings began on Friday and will last 60 days, it said. Tensions between the U.S. and regional leaders have ramped up since the Trump administration mounted a large-scale military buildup in the southern Caribbean, attacked Venezuela and...

A Dutch anti-immigration influencer who has promoted conspiracy theories such as the “great replacement” appears to have had her authorisation for visa-free travel to the UK revoked. Eva Vlaardingerbroek posted an image online of what appeared to be a notification from the British government that her UK electronic travel authorisation (ETA) had been cancelled on Tuesday. “Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good,” it stated. Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister, reposted Vlaardingerbroek’s tweet to his X account. The post linked to her previous comments about Keir Starmer, whom she described as...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney raised eyebrows when he made a comment about a “new world order” in a meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Thursday. “The world has changed much since that last visit. I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order,” said Carney. His comment was met with questions from lawmakers and commentators, as the phrase “new world order” is often one used by conspiracy theorists. Carney is in China to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The visit comes as traditional trade agreements and...

Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has announced the launch of what he called a “new strategic partnership” with China, following high-level talks with President Xi Jinping in Beijing, marking the first visit by a Canadian leader in eight years. Speaking alongside Xi at the Great Hall of the People, Carney said the two countries had an opportunity to reshape their relationship in light of a changing global landscape. “Together, we can build on the strongest elements of our past relationship and forge a new one suited to today’s realities,” he said. On Friday, Carney revealed that Ottawa and Beijing had...

Congressional Budget Office economists recently released a report warning the U.S. population will peak at 364 million. That’s bad news for Social Security, the Ponzi scheme that relies upon an ever-growing pool of laborers to underwrite benefits for the elderly. Such a system won’t last through the year 2056, when CBO says the population will start slowly contracting. A graying majority won’t have enough workers to prop up their golden years. If CBO is right, the transition starts in four years. “[D]eclining fertility rates cause the annual number of deaths to exceed the annual number of births starting in 2030,”...

They’re tracking what you do, who you talk to, and where you go. Your every move is being scored—and once the system locks in, there’s no way out. Palantir’s CEO said the quiet part out loud—and no one blinked. He claims his software “single-handedly” stopped the rise of the “far right” in Europe. Read that again. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s called algorithmic electioneering—where unelected tech elites shape political outcomes with code, not votes. Now add shadowbans, blacklists, real-time emotional profiling, AI-driven behavior scoring…. And ask yourself: are you still the one making the decisions? This isn’t just about...

With affordability expected to be a key factor in deciding the outcome of the 2026 elections, Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D-NY) says he is giving his top housing advisor Cea Weaver "free rein. She has some fabulous ideas that will greatly reduce the cost of housing for the masses." "The major impediment to efficiently housing our population is the notion that the middle-class should be home-owners," Weaver insisted. "They are lured into this trap by the notion that owning a home can help them build equity and grow their wealth. This is bourgeois nonsense. Private home-ownership is riddled with costly redundancies...

Transcript SummaryWell, it’s a great question, Brian, because I think the world is still determining what that order is going to be. And let’s be clear what we’re talking about first and foremost, which is: what are the trading…What is going to govern global trade? What is the role of the WTO going to be? How important are bilateral deals, such as the one we’re developing, plural lateral deals, if I can use that term, Trans-Pacific Partnership, potential linkages between Trans-Pacific Partnership and the EU. Where is financial regulation, payment system regulation going to fit into that? All of these...

[Catholic Caucus] "Nostalgic" Proposals on Liturgy Not Helpful – Cardinal SpenglerAsked about the Mass in the Roman rite, Cardinal Jaime Spengler of Porto Alegre, Brazil, said that “the river doesn’t flow backwards.” He spoke with VidaNuevaDigital.com on January 16. The cardinal is president of the bishops’ conferences of Brazil and Latin America (CELAM). His main statement echoes the historically weak ideas promoted by Cardinal Roche at the consistory on January 7-8. Cardinal Spengler said, “Throughout history, the liturgy has undergone various reforms. The Second Vatican Council represents an enormous effort to recover fundamental elements of Catholic liturgical celebration. Nostalgic proposals...

A Cuban national in the country illegally, Robyn Argote Brooks, has been arrested after authorities said he rammed two ICE vehicles in San Antonio with his car. He did so as vehicular attacks against ICE officers have increased by 3,200% in one year and targeted attacks against federal agents have exponentially increased nationwide. “A criminal illegal alien rammed ICE vehicles in San Antonio, sending an agent to the hospital. Organized groups are obstructing immigration enforcement across the country, putting officers and law-abiding civilians at risk. These criminals must be arrested,” Gov. Greg Abbott said in a social media post commenting...
