The architect of global elitism is finally facing the scrutiny he long deserved. Klaus Schwab—the godfather of the World Economic Forum’s dystopian “Great Reset” agenda—has abruptly resigned from his throne of influence after a whistleblower letter accused him of financial misconduct, personal enrichment off globalist funds, and abuse of young staffers, according to the Wall Street Jounal. According to the whistleblower complaint — reportedly penned by current and former employees of the WEF — Schwab used the Forum as his personal piggy bank. Among the accusations: Withdrew thousands in cash using junior staffers as gofers. Charged private hotel massages to...

Hundreds of sharp nails were found mysteriously embedded point-up in a Cape Cod town’s roadways — and police have no idea who’s behind the dangerous stunt. At least 478 nails were recovered spread across four Falmouth roads early Friday, according to the Falmouth Police Department. Photos shared by the department showed dozens of nails with their heads pressed deliberately into tar patches across the roads and points poised skyward — ready to impale the tires of cars passing by. The spikes were found around 2 a.m. by an officer on patrol, who found even more littered across nearby sidewalks and...

This is a constitutional crisis and Donald Trump must release Kilmer now.

Sunday is a “clearing the spindle” day, and one of the things on my spindle has been Nate Silver’s prediction last week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, is currently the most likely person to be the Democrat party’s 2028 presidential candidate. Frankly, I think he’s right. She’s telegenic, has name recognition, and manages to make the same politics that killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century seem user-friendly. She’s also Bernie Sanders’ anointed heir, and he missed the nomination in 2016 and 2020 only because the Democrat party panicked. Last week, Nate Silver, while acknowledging that it’s...

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is blaming the mainstream media for the Democratic Party’s cratering national support. In an interview Friday on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Clyburn claimed the media was distorting political narratives– and that Dems are losing ground not because of the exceedingly leftward tilt of their message – but because the press isn’t properly telling its story. “I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message,” Clyburn said. “The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.” “There were people who said the [2024] protest movement didn’t...

In a Friday night hearing, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he was “sympathetic” to activists’ concerns over the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal aliens under the Alien Enemies Act, but he doesn't “think I have the power” to stop them.It was surely frustrating to the activist judge who always seemed to rule harshly against J6ers but has come across as extremely sympathetic to the non-citizen criminals that Trump was trying to send out of our country. A recent Supreme Court ruling tied his hands, however:US District Judge James Boasberg denied an emergency request from lawyers for alleged Venezuelan gang...

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday temporarily halted Judge Boasberg’s contempt order against Trump Admin officials. The three-judge panel included: Pillard (Obama), Katsas (Trump) and Rao (Trump). Pillard said she would not have issued the administrative stay. “ORDERED, on the court’s own motion, that the district court’s contempt-related order entered on April 16, 2025, be administratively stayed pending further order of the court. The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal or a writ of mandamus and should not be construed in any...

Sen Chris Van Hollen says he was set up with a margarita by El Salvador president Nayib Bukele during his visit with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "If you look at the [margarita] they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less wet liquid than the one in front of me to try to make it look like you drank out of it." "Let me just be very clear. Neither of us touched the drinks that were in front of us."

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I cannot wait for the next election in 3 years, it is going to be the most hilarious time ever. Yep. The one and only, Her Majesty Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from the Bronx. More from New York Daily News: 'I thought I was gonna surprise everyone by taking AOC first,' Silver tweeted, referring to the fact that his colleague Galen Druke also placed Ocasio-Cortez on top of his own early 2028 list. 'That was going to be my … first pick,' he added. Silver and Druke agreed Ocasio-Cortez has the charisma and popularity...

Folks, I know this is going to be hard, but we must remain steadfast in bearing the burden of new tariffs for our essential items. Hermes has announced they will pass along the cost of President Trump’s tariffs to consumers.Currently, Hermes branded purses ranging from $20,000 to $200,000 are purchased by a whopping 0.001% of Americans, yet 90% of wives for Wall Street hedge fund managers have them.Yes, this is going to be a painful price increase; however, it is our patriotic duty to withstand it. We can survive it.NEW YORK – […] The Paris-based company — which manufactures the...

The Salvadoran government on Wednesday rebuffed Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-Md.) request to meet or speak with a wrongfully deported Maryland man, the senator said, accusing the Trump administration and others of lying about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s gang ties. Van Hollen said Salvadoran Vice President Félix Ulloa told him the government had no information connecting Abrego Garcia to MS-13 but could not accommodate a visit to the notorious CECOT prison, known by its acronym in Spanish. “If the government of El Salvador has no evidence that he was part of MS-13, why is El Salvador continuing to hold him in...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said during a visit to El Salvador that authorities there denied his request to meet or speak with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to the country.

Left-wing commentator and Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump’s administration was causing “an impending police state.” Tribe said, “I been in school for 50 years studying the constitution, teaching about it. It doesn’t enforce itself. It takes human beings of character to take it seriously. And when for whatever combination of cultural and social reasons, the nation selects someone who clearly has no respect for the constitution, someone who is cruel, someone who is without moral principle this is what we see. We see a tinhorn dictator interacting with a wannabe...

A federal judge Wednesday found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for willfully disobeying his order to immediately halt deportations under the rarely used Alien Enemies Act and turn around any airborne planes. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s order gives the administration a final opportunity to come into compliance but says he otherwise will take steps to identify the specific people who flouted his March 15 ruling, which was later lifted by the Supreme Court, and refer them for prosecution.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has pledged to travel to El Salvador to “discuss” the release of an alleged MS-13 gang member who was deported last month, leading a group of other Democrat lawmakers to demand the man’s return to the U.S. Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran national who entered the United States illegally when he was 16, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Maryland, where he resided, on March 12. Abrego-Garcia was previously arrested by immigration officials on March 28, 2019, with Judge Elizabeth Kessler finding that he “was arrested in the company of other...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) declared he is headed to El Salvador if a man mistakenly deported to a megaprison in the country isn’t “quickly returned.” Van Hollen joined CNN’s Kate Bolduan on Tuesday after sending a letter to the El Salvadoran ambassador asking for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Trump administration previously admitted Garcia was deported by “error” to El Salvador, but continues to insist he is an MS-13 gang member that it has no power to retrieve. The Supreme Court has asked that it “facilitate” Garcia’s return. Garcia is not a convicted gang member, and his...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) assured attendees at one of his “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies Saturday they are “making Donald Trump and Elon Musk very nervous” as he laid out a string of grievances with the current Washington administration. The 83-year-old senator spoke to his supporters as they gathered in the Gloria Molina Grand Park in Los Angeles alongside guests including politicians, union representatives and musical acts.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was mocked after she was captured hiding her face behind a stack of binders to avoid being seen standing in the Oval Office when President Donald Trump spoke to the press. The 53-year-old Democrat was flanked by two White House aides as she shielded her identity behind a set of blue folders she was holding before her scheduled meeting with Trump on April 9, according to a photo taken by the New York Times. Whitmer was in Washington DC to discuss issues including tariffs and a recent ice storm which Whitmer has since asked for a...

She was so exposed that she shielded her face from cameras, per NYT. Does this make her unelectable in 2028 among TDS sufferers?
