IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Unable to come to a settlement with the nutjobs running Iran,https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/ President Trump imposed a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. Remember, this hurts us ZERO, but really hurts the Euros and the ChiCom. Check out this report of a massive fleet of empty oil tankers heading for the U.S. to pick up oil. https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2042747418073034790 Right before shutting it down entirely, Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to clear mines in the Strait. https://blackmon.substack.com/p/hormuz-update-us-navy-clearing-mines It seems the Iranians actually forgot where they put the mines. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/us/politics/iran-mines-strait.html What's good for the goose . . . anyone remember when...

The Democratic Party is facing criticism after it posted an Easter-themed message about "Better times at the White House" featuring former President Barack Obama, while leaving out former President Joe Biden. The post, published Saturday by the official Democratic Party X account, shows Obama from behind standing beside a person in an Easter Bunny costume with the Washington Monument in the background. The caption reads, "Better times at the White House." Biden is not pictured or mentioned in the post, and much of the reaction centered on that omission. Social media users wondered why the account appeared to invoke nostalgia...

The Minneapolis businesses that exploit illegal migrants should be compensated by ordinary Americans for economic losses amid the federal enforcement of popular immigration and civil rights laws, according to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.“They left us with economic ruin,” Walz complained after White House advisor Tom Homan said on Thursday that he is withdrawing most ICE officers after arresting more than 4,000 illegal migrants in Minneapolis. (snip) “Many Minnesota businesses – especially small businesses — are facing economic hardships that may prove insurmountable” because of the federal enforcement, said Matt Varilek, an economic development manager for Walz.

Minnesota Governor and failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz blamed white men for the widespread fraud in the Somali community. It was recently revealed that Walz and the Democrats allowed a $1 billion heist to take place largely through the Somali community in Minnesota. The massive scandal happened on Tim Walz’s watch. The GOP-led Oversight Committee is conducting an investigation into the Somali fraud ring.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Thursday that individuals have driven past his residence and shouted insults at him after President Donald Trump used the same term in a recent Truth Social post. Walz made the remarks during a budget meeting while discussing concerns about the reaction to the November comments. Trump wrote on Nov. 27 that Walz was “seriously retarded” for failing to stop alleged Somali crime in Minnesota after a welfare fraud scandal surfaced. Walz told attendees at the meeting that he had not seen Republicans condemn the language used by the president. “I’d never seen this before. People...

@RandPaul Like I told @cherylcasone on @MorningsMaria, Republicans ran against Biden’s reckless spending… then adopted his spending levels. I won’t. $38 trillion in debt isn’t sustainable. It’s a threat to our economy and our dollar. I’ll keep voting no until Washington gets serious about balancing the budget.

The idea of autism as a single spectrum has shaped thinking for decades, but the metaphor is misleading, says this public health expert.The phrases “autism spectrum” or “on the spectrum” have become part of everyday language. They are often used as different ways of referring to someone who is “neurodivergent”. The term was coined in the 1980s by psychiatrist Dr Lorna Wing, whose work transformed how autism was understood in the United Kingdom. At the time, her “autism spectrum” concept was groundbreaking. Instead of seeing autism as a rare, narrowly defined condition, she recognised a wide range of traits and...

An ancient Hopi prophecy predicts the rise of a mysterious figure known as the 'True White Brother,' marked by a red cap, who would change the nation forever. Believed to be centuries old, the prophecy comes from the Hopi tribe of the southwestern US, whose wisdom has guided generations for over a thousand years. In 1992, spiritual elder Thomas Banyacya brought the prophecy to the United Nations, warning that during a time of great turmoil and rapid technological change, an individual bearing a symbolic 'red hat' would emerge, shaping the fate of the world. 'We were told that three helpers...

@SenRandPaul We were told to mask up between peanuts or be treated like we were taking down the plane. That kind of absurdity fed secret watchlists where spite or bias could brand us threats. We ended Quiet Skies, but we must stop government secrecy, over-classification, and surveillance of Americans.

President Trump unveiled his new “liberation day” tariffs on Wednesday, and they are another large step toward a new old era of trade protectionism. Assuming the policy sticks—and we hope it doesn’t—the effort amounts to an attempt to remake the U.S. economy and the world trading system. All details aren’t clear as we write this, but Mr. Trump’s tariffs look “reciprocal” in name only. First he’s hitting every nation in the world with a 10% “baseline” tariff to sell in the U.S. market. For those he calls “bad actors,” he’s adding up the country’s tariff rate on U.S. goods, plus...

When German-born Kim Dotcom talks about "the US", he sounds like me talking about "the Globalists". Speaking on the The Alex Jones Show, Kim says that the US is leading the world into a nuclear war, to avoid facing up to its crimes. He says the an asset-based BRICS currency would be preferred for trade by virtually every country over the US dollar, where you risk being impetuously sanctioned over some BS that isn't even true. Kim says, "My big worry is that, you know, once the realization sinks in that this is not reversible, that Russia and China are...
