The Steele Dossier wasn’t just dirty politics — it was state-sponsored election interference. For eight years, Americans were told that Donald Trump was a Kremlin asset. That Russia rigged the 2016 election in his favor. That collusion wasn’t just a conspiracy — it was fact. It was all a lie. Thanks to newly declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, we now know who really colluded with Russian disinformation: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They funded it. They laundered it through the FBI and CIA. They embedded it into official intelligence reports. And they used it to...

The California Senate passed a bill to authorize a Los Angeles County “Resilient Rebuilding Authority" that could use public funds to "purchase lots at a fair price for land banking," and "create open space."

As a funding mechanism, the bill would allow the RRA for the Los Angeles wildfires to “Issue, receive, and administer funds, including, but not limited to, tax-increment financing, federal loans and grants, state loans...

Media outlets that spent years screeching about Jan. 6 and fawning over BLM riots are eager to ignore or dismiss violent ambushes of ICE officers.. Under the cover of darkness, 10 people, some carrying firearms, allegedly attacked the Prairieland Detention Center utilized by ICE in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, shooting a police officer in the neck. This is major news that should be plastered across the front pages and home pages of every prominent media outlet. It is a major crime with an apparent political motivation, allegedly committed by an Antifa terror cell. Along with numerous guns, communication radios,...

Performance reviews ... Senior Executive Service, top bureaucrats serving throughout the government and across administrations, swelled to around 8,000 under Biden. Most live in Washington, D.C. They typically earn an annual salary between $183,000 and $250,000. An overwhelming majority, 96% .. receive above-average performance ratings even as public trust in government continues to crater. But standards will soon tighten. It is called “forced distribution.” The new OPM rule .. eliminates Biden-era requirements that evaluated executives based on their promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The stated goal is instead an evaluation of job performance, not political ideology. Now only top...

There is nothing organic about the effort to destroy Tesla. It is a well-coordinated, highly funded, and inherently violent "protest" movement that is designed by radical activists, backed by billionaires and foundations, approved of by high-level Democrats, and already employing lawyers who carefully draft language for the leaders to use that slightly separates them from the violent actions of their Brownshirts. "We need to destroy Tesla and Elon Musk. Peacefully, of course, but you can understand why some people use guns, Molotov cocktails, vandalism, doxx every Tesla owner and use threats against them. But we sure don't want to do...

The Judicial Insurrection Is Worse Than You Think The point of all the injunctions and restraining orders is to preserve the supreme rule of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.At this point it’s not too much to say that the federal judiciary has plunged us into a constitutional crisis. The fusillade of injunctions and temporary restraining orders issued by district court judges in recent weeks against the Trump administration — on everything from foreign aid to immigration enforcement to Defense Department enlistment policy to climate change grants for Citibank — boggles the mind.More nationwide injunctions and restraining orders have been issued...

Holocaust survivor Marian Turski reflects on the dangers of bystanding in this speech excerpt. This is an excerpt from the speech by Holocaust survivor Marian Turski, which he gave at the memorial ceremony on 27 January 2020 in Auschwitz. I shall not be telling you about my sufferings, about my two death marches, about how I experienced the end of the war, when I weighed just 32 kilos, verging on the edge of exhaustion and life itself. I shall not be telling you about the very worst experience, the tragedy of being separated from my nearest loved ones and sensing...

Peter Hitchens tears Net Zero to shreds, to the dismay of BBC panellists and audience members. "We didn't just close down our coal fired power stations, we blew them up, we were so certain we were right to do so. At the same time, China is building the equivalent of two new coal fired power stations a week. India has a vast expansion programme of coal fired power stations." "The contribution which this country is making to these outcomes is not merely minimal, it's non-existent. Everything that we do is completely blotted out by what much larger countries are doing...

Not soon after the general election, and within two weeks of each other, two major financial institutions have left a United Nations Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA). This is after they joined three years ago, pledging to require environmental social governance standards (ESG) across their platforms, products and systems. According to the "bank-led and UN-convened" NZBA, global banks joined the alliance, pledging to align their lending, investment, and capital markets activities with a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, NZBA explains. Since April 2021, 145 banks in 44 countries with more than $73 trillion in assets have joined NZBA, tripling...

The very idea of any prosecutor releasing a smear “report” on a defendant he was unable to convict, should be repugnant to any lawyer who believes in the integrity of our criminal justice system.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has declared that the general public must accept that the globalist “climate change” agenda is more important than feeding children. Trudeau, one of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Young Global Leaders,” made the remarks during a talk at the Global Citizen conference at the G20 World Leaders’ Summit in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, on Sunday.

Trudeau defended his government’s so-called “carbon tax.” He framed the increase in costs to Canadians as a necessary “priority.”...

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are tasked with cutting down the $6,750,000,000,000 that the federal government spent in 2024 under their new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The group will work outside the government to “dismantle bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies,” according to a statement from President-elect Donald Trump. John Hart, CEO of watchdog Open the Books, which monitors fiscal waste, told The Post they will curb “spending that has been on autopilot where there’s no real thought or purpose behind it.” Finding areas to cut isn’t hard — many jaw-dropping examples are revealed...

The International ATTAC Movement...

With its censorship capacity limited and reputational cancellation attempts no longer working the way they once did, the regime has largely resorted to a combination of law fare (and potentially assassination) to go after Trump and his supporters in the 2024 cycle, a deeply troubling phenomenon about which we’ve written extensively. With Elon’s takeover of X, the public exposure of the Twitter Files, and the looming extinction of key censorship think tanks such as the Stanford Internet Observatory, the Censorship Industrial complex has taken a number of severe blows in the past couple years. The little known but deeply important...
