LMAO. Brutal.

Escape from New York is the name of a 1981 film. Now it’s also, many fear, going to be a reality with Mayor-elect Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s impending socialist makeover of NYC. Why, commentator Bill O’Reilly has predicted that his ascendancy will spark an exodus of 765,000-one million Big Apple residents. This, of course, would involve the loss of significant capital.Yet this is all predicated on the idea that Mamdani’s promises reflect principles more than positions of convenience. And while he is a radical, he’s also a power seeker who surely aspires to higher office. So questions arise:Will Mamdani go the...

Kamala Selected Not Elected Barack Obama and Kamala Harris have been friends long before Obama was in the U. S. Senate. When he ran for that office, Harris campaigned for Obama vigorously and that created a bond. When Harris became the district attorney in San Francisco, Obama helped her retire some of her campaign debts. Obama has done fundraisers for Harris. So, they’ve had a connection and a relationship for a long, long time and most important -- they think alike. Joe Biden stands down . . . A well-orchestrated coup to stop the faltering Joe Biden from seeking re-election...

Iran surges cyber-enabled influence operations in support of Hamas. 02/07/2024 Iran surges cyber-enabled influence operations in support of Hamas Introduction As the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7, 2023, Iran immediately surged support to Hamas with its now well-honed technique of combining targeted hacks with influence operations amplified on social media, what we refer to as cyber-enabled influence operations.1 Iran’s operations were initially reactionary and opportunistic. By late October, nearly all of Iran’s influence and major cyber actors focused on Israel in an increasingly targeted, coordinated, and destructive manner, making for a seemingly boundless “all-hands-on-deck” campaign against Israel. Unlike...

It is voting for a party and a platform of socialism. The candidate doesn't matter, just as Joe has shown that he doesn't matter. He isn't running a damn thing. He's poorly reading from a teleprompter and taking cues from note cards handed to him. True democrats know this and don't care. The party is all that matters. The press is instructed to read only pre-prepared questions that Joe has already been given the answers to. He can't even do that at a basic level anymore, so they just hop him up on drugs to get a few semi lucid...

In an ominous sign for the War in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin went to Volgograd, Russia today to speak on the 80th Anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Hitler’s Germany at the Battle of Stalingrad. The Soviets won the long, bloody battle with at least one million casualties. Putin likened the battle then to Russia’s War in Ukraine, drawing on Germany’s promise to provide Leopard Tanks to Ukraine. He compared it to Nazi Germany’s use of tanks to attack the then Soviet Union.. . . .

BREAKING 🇺🇦— Video emerges of a drunk and (possibly) drugged Zelensky is in his office today. The video was uploaded and deleted.

In Washington, DC, it was no secret that Joe Biden yearned for the presidency, despite his 1988 and 2008 campaigns which both failed to gain significant traction. However, in August 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama of Illinois tapped Biden — then a longtime Delaware senator — to become his vice presidential running mate, catapulting him to the highest echelons of government after the ticket's successful campaign.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his brother are under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for possibly violating insider trading rules, according to media reports. The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed people familiar with the probe, said the investor watchdog agency is looking into sales of Tesla shares by Kimbal Musk, a member of the Tesla board, just before his brother, Elon, announced on Twitter that he would sell 10% of his own Tesla holdings, a move that sent Tesla (TSLA) shares sharply lower in the days that followed.

The Atlantic’s insufferable staff writer David Frum appears to have been triggered that the world’s richest man insulted him on Twitter. The Post Millennial released a report on Frum’s political hypocrisy. Frum went after Tesla CEO Elon Musk for being allegedly uncouth in posting a satirical meme. The meme compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler following the former’s forceful crackdown on truckers protesting Canada’s draconian COVID-19 policies. The Post Millennial pointed out that Frum is the last person who should complain about Musk’s meme. In November 2020, Frum compared the Million MAGA March in Washington,...

WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Monday it was extending its target date to complete an environmental review of the proposed SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy program in Boca Chica, Texas, to March 28. The FAA's previous target date was Feb. 28. The FAA noted that completing the environmental review does not guarantee that a vehicle operator license will be issued to SpaceX.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is issuing a dire warning about the record U.S. national debt, which has surpassed $30 trillion. "True national debt, including unfunded entitlements, is at least $60 trillion – roughly three times the size of the entire US economy. Something has got to give," Musk tweeted Thursday night in response to a Babylon Bee article titled, "Biden Goes Double Or Nothing On National Debt By Placing $30 Trillion On The Bengals." There is reportedly about $93 trillion of unfunded liabilities over 75 years. Unfunded liabilities are defined as promised benefits to individuals through entitlement programs...

The president commended General Motors and Ford for "building more electric vehicles here at home than ever before" - Musk was also snubbed in August when he wasn't invited to the electric car summit - It was insinuated by the press secretary that he wasn't invited because his workers are not unionized

T esla CEO Elon Musk called President Joe Biden “a damp sock puppet in human form” on Twitter Thursday as Tesla stock plummeted 11%. Musk’s lack of restraint on social media is, as the saying goes, a feature not a bug, having landed him in legal hot water multiple times. Another Musk tweet—“Biden is treating the American public like fools”—was part of a one-sided Twitter offensive waged against the president. Biden didn’t retaliate, at least not directly. The White House did post a tweet with the president extolling Tesla rivals General Motors and Ford for their work on developing electric...

Everyone - including our enemies - can see he's not in charge. It’s one of the most awkward twenty seconds ever captured on video in a disastrous administration that lurches from one awkward moment to another: when asked “Do you think you may have underestimated Putin?,” Old Joe Biden first continued to stare in the general direction of the question, a slight smirk on his face, expression absolutely unchanged from what it had been before the question was asked. A few seconds later he turned his head to face the camera and, after a few more seconds, grinned sardonically. A...

A convicted felon accused by the US government of supporting “the cause of violent jihad” — and promoting 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden — donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and a host of progressive Democrats following his release from prison, records show. Emadeddin Muntasser, 57, and two of his associates were convicted in January 2008 on counts of conspiring to defraud the United States government, lying to the FBI and engaging in a scheme to conceal evidence. The charges stemmed from their operation of an Islamic charity that acted as a front to finance Islamic jihad abroad and lying...

Not all ideas are equal. Some have less intrinsic value. Some are downright bad. Some are inherently dangerous.Yet one of the reasons that the framers of our nation protected the expression of ideas was so that most could be evaluated and the individual could choose to reject or advance them.Team Biden is full of bad & inherently dangerous ideas. 1. Biological sex is meaningless. 2. Racial makeup means everything. 3. Life has no value. 4. Laws, boundaries & accountability don’t matter. 5. Private property doesn’t exist. 6. Women are bleeding/birthing people. 7. Fathers are oppressive. 8. Faith & Belief are...

Joe Biden has had his 100-day honeymoon. People were bound to start complaining eventually. But then something at the gas station caught my attention. As I was filling my car, I noticed that someone had put a sticky note on the gas pump. It read, “Prices Compliments of Joe Biden.” When I told a friend about it, he commented that those notes have been appearing around town. It gave me a good laugh, but in the back of my head I was wondering if this was something more than normal grumbling about the government. Was something different this time? On...

President Joe Biden said in an interview broadcast Wednesday that he plans to raise taxes on Americans making more than $400,000 a year as his post-stimulus legislative plans come into focus."Anybody making more than $400,000 will see a small to a significant tax increase," he told ABC News. "If you make less than $400,000, you won't see one single penny in additional federal tax."Speaking with NBC News, two administration officials earlier confirmed that Biden and his top aides are discussing the framework to increase taxes on Americans making more than $400,000 and on large corporations.The officials stressed that the full...
