  1. You could be arrested for whistleblowing when the democrats were in power.
  2. Jim Acosta out. Joy Reid out. Lester Holt out.
  3. Same old lying playbook.
  4. Theories of Ukraine support which have completely fallen flat: 1. Protect ‘democracy’ (lol) 2. Weaken Russia/Putin - Putin has more of an ironclad grip than ever. The Russian economy has sanction proofed itself completely and their war production has boomed since the war began 3. To ‘deter’ China - Russia instead has become a Chinese vassal and the Chinese government got a free lesson on how to sanction proof their economy and on how to combat NATO weaponry. Also, weapons that would have been valuable for Taiwan were shipped to Ukraine instead all while depleting US stockpiles and making us less secure 4. Fortify NATO/Europe- Europe has proven itself unable to meet even modest arms production goals, it has become dramatically poorer after shifting off Russian gas, it faces populist revolts and today can't even guarantee a peacekeeping force in Ukraine of 30k without the US footing the bill and providing all their intelligence support
  5. LET THE SUNSHINE IN DOGE Might Hold the Key to Opening up All of Washington's Dirtiest Secrets Stephen Green A confidential source of Data Republican (Small-r)'s reveals that a PATRIOT Act provision meant to track terrorists' funds could prove to be a goldmine of information about NGO funding — and that might be the real reason Washington is so afraid of Elon Musk and his DOGE boys. "One of the lasting impacts of the PATRIOT Act," Data R posted her source informed her, "is its requirement for financial institutions to report all transactions over [$10,000 (listed as $3,000 in Data R's original post but quickly corrected)] to the U.S. Treasury—a threshold that has never been adjusted for inflation." The Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is in charge of processing all that data and going after the bad guys or whoever. But that's where things get weird, according to Data R's source. Stick a pin in that thought for a moment because you need to know a little more about how reporting works. It's also a crime to "structure" deposits and transfers to get under the $10,000 cap. If Ahmed al-Terrorlover makes several $9,900 wire transfers, that could be construed as a financial crime — even if the transfers are 100% not terror-related. Ahmed could be buying Puppy Chow for homeless dogs and still be guilty of structuring. Banks look for suspicious activities, however innocuous they might be, and report them to FinCEN. So it's always been my assumption that reporting includes anyone with more than just a checking account that approaches zero right before payday. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2025/02/24/washingtons-dirty-little-secret-might-be-what-they-let-the-banks-do-for-them-n4937272 .
  6. I'm sorry, the article that you posted does say that the deputy position is almost always filled from within, but NOWHERE in it does it say that Kash Patel 'promised' to fill it from within. He suggested that he might pick a specific person. I guess that you just read that into on your own, or you lied to make a point. Either way you were wrong.

  8. Jasmine Crockett: You're Just Too Stupid to Understand How Awesome Democrats Are Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) continues to make the media rounds, intent on becoming a larger mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. On Wednesday, the far-left congresswoman described a majority of Americans as "uneducated" for supporting President Donald Trump's agenda. Then, on Thursday, while appearing on "The Breakfast Club," Crockett proclaimed she was rooting for other nations to win any trade wars against the United States. She wasn't done with her vote outreach, though. On Sunday, Crockett went on MSNBC to discuss the supposed "anger" at Elon Musk over recent government cutbacks. Her commentary was, in a word, delusional. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/02/24/jasmine-crockett-youre-just-too-stupid-to-understand-how-awesome-democrats-are-n2185940 ,
  9. Imagine being lectured about religion by Roundy and Joe. Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. -- Jeremiah 14:14 Meanwhile, back at the thread.

  10. Stonewall, UK's Largest Trans Rights Organization, Turned Out to Be a USAID Front David Strom Stonewall UK, which in recent years has been at the tip of the spear in the fight to transify the UK, is slashing their staffing by 50% and even then may be in trouble. Why? USAID cuts. Stonewall UK is a USAID front with some outside donors. Why, you may ask, is the United States government the biggest provider of funding to Stonewall, and organization that has been vilifying women and lesbians in particular for a decade? Stonewall UK began as a gay rights organization and reached its primary goal of normalizing gays and gay marriage in 2014. Since then it has focused on transgenderism, eliminating same-sex space, putting men into women's space, criticizing lesbian rights, transing the kids (although not as much as Mermaids) and promoting the idea that lesbians are bigots for not dating transgender "women." It is funded primarily by the UK and US governments, and in the process, fundamentally changed British culture and law. As an American, I have been outraged about where our money has been going. Were I a European I would be outraged about what the United States government has been funding since it has been focused mainly on radicalizing policies in a way that destroys their culture. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/02/24/stonewall-uks-largest-trans-rights-organization-turned-out-to-be-a-usaid-front-n3800132 .
  11. Matt Taibbi: Trump is Trolling the AP. The once-great AP became journalism's word police, and humorously is now claiming to be a victim of censorship “People are claiming the White House is bullying the AP, repeating the saw that Trump is telling them ‘what words to use.’ If you don’t see the irony, you’ve never used the AP stylebook.” https://www.racket.news/p/trump-is-trolling-the-ap
  12. MEGAN MCARDLE: Academia Finally Got Schooled: Universities, colleges took prestige and public support for granted. Now they are paying the price. The left, not the right, picked this fight. Too many institutions set themselves up as the “Resistance” to Trump and tried to make a lot of mainstream political opinions anathematic, while expecting to be protected from backlash by principles such as academic freedom that they were no longer honoring. This was politically naive and criminally stupid for institutions that rely so heavily on U.S. taxpayer support. . . . By presenting their expertise as part of a political fight, academics were not only squandering their credibility. They were asking to be treated like political adversaries. And in a real political fight, the ability to get your opponent’s journal article retracted is way less important than his ability to cut off your supply lines. This danger has been evident for years, yet when I asked academics if this was really wise, most were curiously oblivious to the risks. Though they complained about stingy state legislatures and meddling Republican politicians, many bizarrely took them as evidence that there was little cost to politicizing academia — essentially, “They’re already attacking us, so there’s no point in trying to placate them.” They did not seem to grasp how much worse it could get. Fundamentally, they took their prestige and public support for granted and seemed unable to imagine a world where the word “education” no longer conjured reverent deference among most of the population. Like children throwing rocks from an overpass, they felt protected by their elevated position, assuming their targets could do little but yell back. They weren’t expecting one of the drivers to get out of the car and grab a baseball bat from the trunk. It’s not like they weren’t warned. https://archive.is/qqfXh
