Argentina’s Javier ‘Chainsaw’ Milei Slashes 15 Thousand Taxpayer-Funded State Jobs, Fulfilling Campaign Promise – Unions Stage Protests   By Paul Serran

Apr. 4, 2024 10:00 am – When he was elected President of Argentina, the libertarian economist and TV personality Javier Milei became responsible for tackling a very serious problem: how to turn around an economy destroyed by the Peronist socialists who drove almost 60% of the citizens below the poverty line.

And what’s worse: how to do that while being maligned non-stop by the leftist MSM that helps fuel the internal opposition.

The Milei response has been to plow along and try to implement his policies as fast and as broadly as possible.

Yesterday (3), another step in this direction was taken, as Argentina announced that it had cut 15,000 taxpayer-funded state jobs.

It’s ‘the chainsaw’ in action, as promised during the campaign.

Milei’s aggressive campaign to slash spending put his government on a collision course with angry protesters and powerful trade unions.

 

 

WATCH: Son of Hamas Co-Founder Demolishes Islamist Terror Apologist So Thoroughly He Leaves Her Mouth Gaping in Shock   By Cullen Linebarger

Apr. 4, 2024 6:00 pm – A terror apologist stood no chance against Mosab Yousef, the son of a Hamas commander during an episode Tuesday on Dr. Phil.

Yousef, also known as the Green Prince, grew up in the West Bank and his father was a co-founder of the Hamas terror group. He served as a Palestinian ex-militant until 1997 when he defected to Israel.

He worked as an undercover agent for the Shin Bet until he immigrated to the United States in 2007.

Yousef leans on his experience to expertly point out there is no difference between Hamas and the Palestinians on the West Bank because they support Hamas and are giving them cover. When the activist accused him of promoting colonialism, he responded by pointing out she had no authority to represent Palestinians and that she was promoting the cause of Hamas.

She was further left stunned when he responded yes to her question regarding whether Hamas and Palestinians are the same, not listening to his point at the beginning.

Yousef then dropped the hammer on her when she refused to condemn the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

The destruction was so thorough her mouth was left gaping in shock.

 

Statue of Liberty Gets Struck By Lightning During Wild New York Storm   By Anthony Scott

Apr. 4, 2024 5:00 pm – On Thursday, a lightning bolt struck the Statue of Liberty’s torch during a severe storm in New York.

Photographer Dan Martland captured the moment when the lightning bolt hit the Statue of Liberty and posted the photo of the moment on X.

Martland wrote, “The Statue of Liberty getting zapped by a bolt of lightning.”

“I usually shoot the city in storms, but I couldn’t see anything with all the low clouds. This is why I went close to the Statue of Liberty. Just wanted to see something.” added Martland.

Baltimore Bridge Disaster Reveals Influence and Dangers of Globalism    By John Mills

Apr. 4, 2024 4:40 pm – The events of March 26, 2024, in Baltimore Harbor were dramatic.  The Singaporean Flag Merchant Vessel Dali ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge less than an hour after casting off from the pier at 12:45am.

The emergency response was executed within seconds after the Harbor Pilots on the bridge of the Dali declared a mayday and possible impact with the bridge.  Traffic was stopped on each end, but a work crew on the spans did not have enough time to depart the bridge before it collapsed and appear to have been killed.

Bridge strikes have occurred before, but a 100,000-ton, large container ship totally downing a large bridge is unprecedented.  Seven bridge allisions have occurred in America killing over 100, with the Baltimore disaster appearing to be the largest bridge to be downed.

The amount of internet connectivity of modern merchant vessels is significant.  With the current Chinese Cyber Attack of Volt Typhoon still in progress and animated public statements by Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray and Department of Homeland Security Director Jen Easterly, it is logical that review of the forensics for any cyber fingerprints should be conducted.

As Gold Prices Hit Record Highs, One 12-Page Pamphlet Tells the Story of God, Gold and Glory

However, legacy media has ferociously lashed out with the “conspiracy theory” label to silence any speculation – much like they did with the Wuhan lab leak.  The Globalists are back in form, rested and relaxed and ready for 2024.

Wray and Easterly give stark warnings, a new Biden Executive Order addresses Chinese spy cranes, NDAA Section 1088 directs an exercise to understand Chinese Cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure like ports – but do not assert Cyber as being a possible issue with the Dali?

The same suspects who threw a wet towel on Wuhan, on Russia Gate, on Bio Labs, and other topics and never bothered to apologize have locked arms on Baltimore.

It’s confusing to try to reconcile Wray and Easterly shouting about Chinese Cyber-attacks and malign activities over the last 90 days, but suddenly cyber has nothing to do with Baltimore.

I’m not saying cyber was the cause or an issue, but it will take weeks and months to pursue the cyber forensics on these matters to establish fact and truth, so the dismissive tone and tenor only encourages “conspiracy theories”.

We’ve seen the greater the shrillness, the more likely facts are not being pursued, but instead, an unquestionable narrative is being poured in concrete.

The announcement of a new port security initiative by the Biden Administration was welcome and needed – but did not come out of thin air.  The announcement was replete with cyber vulnerabilities in the Port and Maritime environment and as a reminder, ships and their onboard information technology can be accessed through means such as ship to shore radios.

Wray and Easterly described the rapid and rising crescendo of Chinese led cyber events, likely informed by months of forensics on Volt Typhoon.  The Biden initiative and alarming comments very possibly came substantively from Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act Section 1088, a National Tabletop Exercise to understand how China would hit American domestic critical infrastructure in case of conflict over Taiwan.

Jen Easterly said, “This is truly an everything, everywhere, all at once scenario” on January 31, 2024, yet suggesting cyber had something to do with Baltimore is lambasted.

On NATO’S 75th Birthday, Secretary Blinken Meets Ukrainian FM Kuleba Bringing No Money, No Ammo, No Missiles or Planes – Just a Promise: ‘Ukraine Will Be a Part of Nato    By Paul Serran

Apr. 4, 2024 3:40 pm – The North Atlantic Treaty Organization celebrates its 75th birthday in a crossroads: the once-defensive organization went on the offensive and expanded east in Europe until it poked the Russian bear one-too-many-times.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has drained the weapons stockpiles from the western nations without changing the expected outcome: Russia is winning.

All around the media, now, we can read the unfiltered, once forbidden truth:

Politico: Ukraine is at great risk of its front lines collapsing

The Times: It’s time we talked about the fall of Kyiv

Sky News:  Russia-Ukraine latest: ‘Great risk’ of Ukraine collapse as Russia prepares ‘big attack’

US State Department: Official Says Without U.S. Funding, Ukraine’s Defense Will Likely Collapse

Standard: Vladimir Putin may be weeks away from a breakthrough in Ukraine but the West is asleep

The above is NOT an exhausting selection.

So, as NATO turns 75, what can Secretary Blinken offer to the nearly collapsing Ukrainian allies? Promises. That’s all.

Reuters reported:

“U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that Ukraine will eventually join NATO as support for the country remains “rock solid” among member states.

‘Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership’, Blinken told reporters in Brussels.”

AP headline is perhaps a bit more truthful: NATO marks its 75th birthday as Russia’s war in Ukraine gnaws at its unity.

There is no money, no ammunition, no missiles or planes. And, fundamentally, there are no troops for the continuation of the war.

But there are words. And promises.

Among the Secretary Blinken’s Remarks“I think it’s safe to say that the support for Ukraine, the determination of every country represented here at NATO remains rock solid.”

So no NATO now, they’ll talk again in the summer, on the summit in Washington celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Alliance.

“Ukraine will become a member of NATO.  Our purpose of the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership and to create a clear pathway for Ukraine moving forward.

[…] The final point is this:  The fight that Ukraine has on its hands is not only Ukraine’s fight; it’s everyone’s fight.”

So, no NATO in the summer – just a ‘bridge’, a ‘pathway’. It’s unclear if Ukrainian troops will hold the lines until the summer, let alone wait for elusive promises in the distant future.

Here We Go: Scientists Warn Bird Flu Pandemic Could Be ‘100 Times Worse’ Than COVID-19   By Jim Hft

Apr. 4, 2024 3:20 pm – Amidst growing concerns, experts have cautioned that a bird flu pandemic may be looming on the horizon, one that could be catastrophic on a scale ‘100 times worse than Covid-19.’

The alarm was raised following reports of the virus being found in multiple species, including cows, cats, and humans, which could potentially accelerate the virus’s mutation to become more transmissible among humans.

In March 2024, testing for influenza was conducted on several animals in Texas and Kansas due to signs of illness. These animals included wild birds, cats, and dairy cows. Some of these tests returned positive for avian influenza A(H5N1), marking the first time the virus has been detected in cattle within the United States.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), initially detected in dairy cows in Texas and Kansas, has now spread to additional herds in Michigan, Idaho, and New Mexico.

As Gold Prices Hit Record Highs, One 12-Page Pamphlet Tells the Story of God, Gold and Glory

On Monday, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) issued a health alert after confirming the first human case of the novel avian influenza A(H5N1) in the state.

“The patient became ill following contact with dairy cows presumed to be infected with avian influenza. The patient’s primary symptom was conjunctivitis. This is the second case of avian influenza A(H5N1) identified in a person in the United States and is believed to be associated with the recent detections of avian influenza A(H5N1) in dairy cows announced by the Texas Animal Health Commission,” according to DSHS.

During a recent briefing, scientists highlighted the increasing risk of the H5N1 bird flu strain turning into a pandemic.

The meeting, attended by leading bird flu researchers, medical professionals, and government officials, was convened in response to the human bird flu case and organized by John Fulton, a vaccine consultant and pharmaceutical industry expert, according to Daily Mail.

“This appears to be 100 times worse than Covid, or it could be if it mutates and maintains its high case fatality rate,” said Fulton. “Once it’s mutated to infect humans, we can only hope that the [fatality rate] drops.”

Dr. Suresh Kuchipudi, a notable figure in bird flu research, warned of the virus’s potential for a pandemic, highlighting its global distribution and ability to infect a variety of mammals, including humans.

“And now we are getting dangerously close to this virus potentially causing a pandemic,” Kuchipudi said.

“H5N1 viruses have already demonstrated several important features of a potential pandemic virus. So these are, the virus is already globally distributed, and this virus particularly, that is often perceived as an avian virus, it can, and it has shown, the ability to infect a range of mammalian hosts including humans.

“We are not really talking about a virus that is yet to make a jump, we are talking about a virus that is globally present, already infecting a range of mammals and is circulating. So, therefore, in my view, I think this is a virus that has the greatest pandemic threat [that is] playing out in plain sight and is globally present. It is really high time that we are prepared,” he added.

According to the World Health Organization, the H5N1 fatality rate stands at an alarming 52 percent, a stark contrast to the less than 0.1 percent mortality rate of Covid-19. The concern is that if H5N1 becomes easily transmitted among humans while maintaining its high fatality rate, the consequences could be dire.

[Ed.:  If it’s gonna be 100 times worse than covid, we’re gonna need at least 100 times more vaccinations!!]

 

Here Comes World War III: Tony Blinken Announces Ukraine will be Joining NATO – Pushing US Closer to Nuclear War with Russia   By Jim Hoft

Apr. 4, 2024 1:40 pm – Secretary of State Tony Blinken says that Ukraine will be joining NATO.

Ukraine is a corrupt, non-democratic, authoritarian republic known as the most corrupt country in Europe.

Under Article 5, this means that an attack on Ukraine will be considered an attack on the United States.

As David Sachs says, “If you want nuclear war, vote Joe Biden in November.”

Just last month, on March 2, 2024, Putin warned the West during his annual “The State of Russia” speech.

Obviously, the Biden Administration ignored this warning.

Putin noted that while accusing Russia of plans to attack NATO allies in Europe, Western allies were “selecting targets for striking our territory” and “talking about the possibility of sending a NATO contingent to Ukraine.”

“We remember the fate of those who sent their troop contingents to the territory of our country,” the Russian leader said in an apparent allusion to the failed invasions by Napoleon and Hitler. “Now the consequences for the potential invaders will be far more tragic.”

In a two-hour speech before an audience of lawmakers and top officials, Putin cast Western leaders as reckless and irresponsible and declared that the West should keep in mind that “we also have the weapons that can strike targets on their territory, and what they are now suggesting and scaring the world with, all that raises the real threat of a nuclear conflict that will mean the destruction of our civilization.”

Putin’s remarks were not “off-the-cuff.” It was a carefully crafted message directed specifically at Biden and NATO leaders and came in the wake off French President Macron’s incredibly tone-deaf speech earlier in the week:

French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine is not “ruled out” in the future after the issue was debated at a gathering of European leaders in Paris, as Russia’s full-scale invasion grinds into a third year.

The French leader said that “we will do everything needed so Russia cannot win the war” after the meeting of over 20 European heads of state and government and other Western officials.

“There’s no consensus today to send in an official, endorsed manner troops on the ground. But in terms of dynamics, nothing can be ruled out,” Macron said in a news conference at the Elysee presidential palace.

 

Trump Lawyer John Eastman Officially Disbarred For Challenging 2020 Election   By Cristina Laila

Apr. 4, 2024 2:20 pm – President Trump’s lawyer John Eastman was officially disbarred this week after a judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election.

Eastman on Thursday asked a California judge to pause the disbarment ruling, citing massive legal fees.

Trump 2020 election lawyer John Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’

The January 6 Committee sent the feds after John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their massive election fraud operation in 2020.

Recall, Eastman was previously ambushed by the FBI as he was exiting a restaurant in New Mexico.

John Eastman was exiting a restaurant with his wife and friend last June when FBI agents ambushed him and “forced” him to unlock his phone.

The federal agents then took Eastman’s iPhone 12 Pro.

Eastman was also indicted by Fani Willis and charged with counts 1-2 (RICO and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer), 9 (Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer), 11 (Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree), 13 (Conspiracy to Commit False Statements), 15 (Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents), 17 (Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree), 19 (Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings), 27 (Filing False Documents).

 

Argentina’s Javier ‘Chainsaw’ Milei Slashes 15 Thousand Taxpayer-Funded State Jobs, Fulfilling Campaign Promise – Unions Stage Protests   By Paul Serran

After Funding Jew-Hating Iranian Regime – Biden Administration Allegedly Initiates Color Revolution Against Netanyahu in Middle of Israel’s War Against Hamas Barbarians   By Jim Hoft

Apr. 4, 2024 11:40 am – In November 2023, the Joe Biden administration extended a sanctions waiver that will allow Iran to collect another $10 billion in funds in order for the mullahs to fund their military operations in the region.

This comes one week after Iranian-backed Houthis attempted to shoot down a US drone in the region and one month after Iran-backed Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Jews in Israel and took another 240 Jews hostage.

It was the deadliest attack on Jews since World War II.

Joe Biden ignored the massacre in order to open the door and help Iran bring in another $10 billion in the next few months.

The AP reported:

The Biden administration has extended by four months a sanctions waiver that will allow Iraq to continue to purchase electricity from Iran and gives Iran limited access to the proceeds to buy humanitarian goods.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed the 120-day waiver extension and it was transmitted to Congress on Tuesday, U.S. officials said. The move is likely to draw criticism from Iran hawks on Capitol Hill and elsewhere who believe the extension will reward Iran at a time when it is coming under increasing pressure to end its support for proxy groups, including Hamas, that are destabilizing the Middle East.

There is roughly $10 billion in Iraqi payments for Iranian electricity currently being held in escrow accounts in Iraq, and the waiver will allow Baghdad to maintain its energy imports without fear of U.S. penalties for violating sanctions on Iran.

Joe Biden has now gifted the Iranian regime with $80 billion since entering the White House.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) told FOX News a month ago in October that Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave $3.5 billion to Iran through the International Monetary Fund several months ago.

This was not part of the $6 billion that Biden recently gifted the Iranian mullahs.

Senator John Kennedy: Several months ago, it wasn’t well publicized, President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave Iran $3.5 billion through the International Monetary Fund. That’s not the $6 billion that we have objected to. $3.6 billion dollars cash. I’ll be glad to come on your show and explain how they did that. I objected to it at the time. I tried to pass a bill to stop it. They rolled over me. The press didn’t pick it up. But here’s the problem we face right now, the time to build the ark is before the rain.

But the $3.5 billion and $6 billion may be only a part of Joe Biden’s cash for Iran.

Senator Kennedy spoke out about another transfer of money to the Iranian regime back in 2021. Kennedy argued in a letter to Janet Yellen that the Biden administration’s plan would ultimately result in China receiving $22 billion, Russia receiving $18 billion and Iran receiving $3.5 billion.

But that’s not all; according to The Daily Signal’s calculations, Iran has received approximately $70 billion more under Biden than it would have under Trump.

The mullahs must love Joe Biden. No one has been more generous to this killer regime.

They ought to build statues of Old Joe in Tehran.

Now, Israel faces a new challenge by the Biden-Obama threat.

Israel now faces the threat of a Biden-Obama-backed color revolution in the middle of its war against the Hamas barbarians.

DOJ Seeks Prison Time for Woman Who Found Ashley Biden’s Diary that Revealed Old Joe’s Perverted Acts with His Daughter   By Jim Hoft

Apr. 4, 2024 10:30 am – As previously reported, Ashley Biden, Joe Biden’s youngest daughter, left her diary under a mattress at the Palm Beach rehab home following a stay at a treatment facility. Two individuals who found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house later sold the diary to James O’Keefe and Project Veritas.

In a January 2019 entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction.

The diary describes Ashley and her father Joe Biden taking showers together at an inappropriate age.

“I have always been boy crazy,’ Ashley wrote. ‘Hyper-sexualized @ a young age … I remember somewhat being sexualized with [a family member]; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate).’ she wrote in a January 2019 entry, according to the Daily Mail.

James O’Keefe was later the victim of a late-night FBI raid and was arrested by the Biden regime.

The two individuals who found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property.

And Joe Biden’s DOJ is using their guilty pleas to go after Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe.

Now, the Department of Justice is seeking prison time for Aimee Harris who found the diary under Ashley Biden’s mattress.

Alarming Discovery: Cancer-Causing ‘Forever Chemicals’ Detected in Band-Aids – Enters Bloodstream Through Open Wounds, Experts Warn   By Jim Hft

Apr. 4, 2024 9:45 am – In a groundbreaking study spearheaded by the consumer advocacy group Mamavation, alarming levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), commonly referred to as ‘forever chemicals’, have been discovered in widely-used bandage brands, including Band-Aid.

PFAS, known for their persistence in the environment and in human bodies, have been linked to a slew of health issues, including cancer, immune system disruption, and reproductive problems.

Mamavation’s inquiry into the presence of PFAS in bandages was conducted in partnership with Environmental Health News and received scientific validation from notable experts such as Terrence Collins of Carnegie Mellon University and Linda S. Birnbaum, former director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The study entailed sending 40 bandages from 18 different brands to an EPA-certified laboratory to test for the presence of PFAS.

The results were alarming: 65% of the tested bandages contained detectable levels of PFAS, with concentrations ranging from 11 to 328 parts per million (ppm).

Particularly concerning was the discovery that 63% of bandages marketed towards “people of color” contained these hazardous chemicals.

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have long been used for their oil-resistant, grease-resistant, and water-resistant properties, according to the FDA. While they are known for their durability, their presence in everyday items has become a major concern due to their potential link to numerous health issues.

Bandages with PFAS:

 

OUCH: White House Cancels Annual Ramadan Dinner After Muslims Refuse to Attend    By Ben Kew

Apr. 4, 2024 8:15 am – The White House was forced to cancel its annual Ramadan celebration after Muslims refused to attend an event with Joe Biden.

CBS News reports that while the White House held a successful Iftar dinner last year with hundreds of Muslims, this year’s celebrations involved just a handful administration officials:

Last year, President Biden hadn’t even spoken a word at the White House celebration of Ramadan before someone shouted out “we love you.” Hundreds of Muslims were there to mark the end of the holy month that requires fasting from sunrise to sunset.

There are no such joyous scenes during this Ramadan. With many Muslim Americans outraged over Mr. Biden’s support for Israel’s siege of Gaza, the White House chose to hold a smaller iftar dinner on Tuesday evening. The only dinner attendees were people who work for his administration.

Alzayat attended last year’s event, but he declined an invitation to break his fast with Mr. Biden this year, saying, “It’s inappropriate to do such a celebration while there’s a famine going on in Gaza.”

After rejections from Alzayat and others, he said the White House adjusted its plans Monday, telling community leaders it wanted to host a meeting focused on administration policy. Alzayat still said no, believing that one day wasn’t enough time to prepare for an opportunity to sway Mr. Biden’s mind on the conflict.

The boycott reflects the growing anger among America’s Muslims communities about Biden’s lukewarm for Israel’s war against Hamas.

MADNESS: Four More Pro-Life Americans Who Sat Outside Abortion Clinic Praying Are Found Guilty – Face Up to 11 Years in Prison – Including 87 Yr-Old Eva Edl   By Jim Hoft

 87 year-old Eva Edl, a pro-life activist, was found guilty of praying and singing hymns outside the doors of a Nashville abortion center. She faces up to 11 years in prison.

Apr. 3, 2024 8:00 am – Joe Biden’s America.

Four more pro-lifers that were involved in this protest outside a Nashville abortion clinic have just been found guilty in federal court of violating the FACE Act.

These pro-Life activists were found guilty this week.

** Eva Edl
** Eva Zastrow
** James Zastrow
** Paul Place

That makes ten Christians total who now face up to 11 years in prison for protesting outside of a Nashville abortion clinic.

Six of the pro-Life activists were already found guilty earlier this year.

Nearly three years ago several pro-Life activists held a prayer rally at a Tennessee abortion clinic.

The Christian protesters prayed and sang hymns.
They were sitting peacefully in the lobby of the abortion center.

The protesters included: Chester Gallagher, 73, of Lebanon, Tennessee; Heather Idoni, 58; Calvin Zastrow, 57; and Caroline Davis, 24; all of Michigan; Coleman Boyd, 51, of Bolton, Mississippi; Dennis Green, 56, of Cumberland, Virginia; and Paul Vaughn, 55, of Centerville, Tennessee.

Then in October 2022 Biden’s Gestapo arrested eleven pro-life activists for a peaceful protest at an abortion clinic that took place over a year ago. The eleven pro-life activists face up to eleven years in prison and $250,000 in fines. (Details below)

Screen images from cellphone video taken by his wife show FBI agents at the front door of the home of Paul Vaughn, 55, after they arrested him at gunpoint in front of his family before they walk off refusing to answer questions while one agent comes around from behind the house.

 

Ukrainian Drones Hit Russia’s Third-Largest Oil Refinery, Prompting White House Anger   BY TYLER DURDEN

TUESDAY, APR 02, 2024 – 09:40 AM – As discussed in our morning wrap, US equity futures are dipping lower as bond yields in the US continue to move higher as crude continues to surge and is up another 2% on growing fears of middle-eastern escalation after a senior Iranian commander was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Syria yesterday, with Iran immediately vowing revenge, and as Ukraine once again struck oil infrastructure targets deep inside Russia, overnight hitting Russia’s 3rd largest refinery, ~800 miles from the front lines.

As OilPrice details, Ukrainian drones hit the primary refining unit of Russia’s third-largest refinery southeast of Moscow more than 800 miles from the front line, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Ukraine keeps striking Russian oil assets despite the Biden admin’s unequivocal demands for a hard stop, suggesting that diplomatic fallout is now imminent.

The Taneco refinery of Russian company Tatneft in Tatarstan, an industrialized region southeast of Moscow, was attacked by Ukrainian drones in the latest such attack from Ukraine on Russian refining infrastructure.

Javier Milei Austrian Economist, Champion of Anti-Globalism   By Antonio Graceffo

Apr. 2, 2024 2:00 pm – Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, is disliked by liberal globalists due to the threat he poses to their global agenda, much like Trump.

While Trump vowed to “drain the swamp,” Javier Milei wielded a chainsaw during his campaign, symbolizing his commitment to drastically reducing the size of government.

Most mainstream media label Javier Milei as either a Libertarian or a far-right extremist, a term they now apply to anyone who is less than 100% on board with every single aspect of globalism. However, Milei is also an economics professor and a supporter of the Austrian School of Economics. The Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, serves as a hub for Austrian economics. Its name originates from the Austrian heritage of the school’s early pioneers, including Carl Menger, Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Friedrich von Wieser, and Friedrich Hayek.

Disgusting: Democrat Massachusetts Governor Plans to House Illegals at Former Veterans’ Shelter   By Margaret Flavin

Apr. 2, 2024 11:40 am – Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced last week that the historic Chelsea Soldiers’ Home, which formerly housed veterans, will be converted into a site for 100 illegal families and pregnant women.

The site is currently vacant and was set for demolition.

While veterans in the state continue to face homelessness, Healey is putting illegals ahead of those who have served our nation.

Chelsea Soldiers’ Home website shares that while in operation, veterans paid between $10-30 dollars a day to live at the facility.

Illegals, however, will be housed entirely on the taxpayer’s dime.

Fox News reports:

Secretary of Veterans Services Dr. Jon Santiago told The Boston Herald that the new migrant facility would not impact veteran services.

“Massachusetts has proven that we can take care of veterans and families experiencing homelessness in our state,” he said.

The Veterans Home at Chelsea will become a “safety-net site” for migrants where, beginning May 1, they will have to prove they are working to wean off government assistance by applying for work authorizations, learning English and searching for permanent residency.

Massachusetts resident George Belmonte said on social media, “I can’t believe the Chelsea Soldiers’ Home, which is for the Vets, is going to [be] used for the immigrants overflow. How about taking care of the homeless vets first? I am all for helping people but how about taking care of those already here and homeless.”

 

Donald Trump has posted a $175 million bond to avert asset seizure as he appeals NY fraud penalty   MICHAEL R. SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ

Apr 2, 2024, 12:30 AM EDT  NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond on Monday in his New York civil fraud case, halting collection of the more than $454 million he owes and preventing the state from seizing his assets to satisfy the debt while he appeals, according to a court filing.

A New York appellate court had given the former president 10 days to put up the money after a panel of judges agreed last month to slash the amount needed to stop the clock on enforcement.

The bond Trump is posting with the court now is essentially a placeholder, meant to guarantee payment if the judgment is upheld. If that happens, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee will have to pay the state the whole sum, which grows with daily interest.

If Trump wins, he won’t have to pay the state anything and will get back the money he has put up now.

“As promised, President Trump has posted bond. He looks forward to vindicating his rights on appeal and overturning this unjust verdict,” said one of Trump’s lawyers, Alina Habba.

Until the appeals court intervened to lower the required bond, New York Attorney General Letitia James had been poised to initiate efforts to collect the judgment, possibly by seizing some of Trump’s marquee properties. James, a Democrat, brought the lawsuit on the state’s behalf. Her office declined to comment Monday.

The court ruled after Trump’s lawyers complained it was “a practical impossibility” to get an underwriter to sign off on a bond for the $454 million, plus interest, that he owes.

The company that underwrote the bond is Knight Specialty Insurance, which is part of the Knight Insurance Group. The chairman of that company, billionaire Don Hankey, told The Associated Press that both cash and bonds were used as collateral for Trump’s appellate bond.

“This is what we do at Knight Insurance, and we’re happy to do this for anyone who needs a bond,” said Hankey, who is best known in the business world for making high-risk, high-interest loans to car buyers with flawed credit histories. Hankey told the AP he has never met or spoken with Trump.

Trump is fighting to overturn a judge’s Feb. 16 finding that he lied about his wealth as he fostered the real estate empire that launched him to stardom and the presidency. The trial focused on how Trump’s assets were valued on financial statements that went to bankers and insurers to get loans and deals.

Trump denies any wrongdoing, saying the statements actually lowballed his fortune, came with disclaimers and weren’t taken at face value by the institutions that lent to or insured him.

The state courts’ Appellate Division has said it would hear arguments in September. A specific date has not been set. If the schedule holds, it will fall in the final weeks of the presidential race.

Wicked Joe Biden Flew 90% of Illegals in Secret Flight Program to Florida and Texas   By Jim Hoft

Apr. 2, 2024 8:45 am – Wicked Joe Biden flew most of the illegal aliens in his secret migrant flight program to Florida and Texas – to punish the red states with a crushing amount of new illegal aliens.

Biden sent 90% of the illegals in the secret flight program to Florida and Texas.

At least 326,000 illegals in the program were flown into Florida.
At least 21,964 illegals were flown into Houston, Texas.

Biden is importing a crushing amount of illegal aliens into the red states to crash their social welfare system.

Republican lawmakers are once again too weak to do anything about this purposeful destruction of America.

 

“I Didn’t Do That” – Old Joe Denies he Declared Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility   By Jordan Conradson

Apr. 1, 2024 4:40 pm – Joe Biden denied he issued an official proclamation last week declaring March 31–Easter Sunday–Transgender Day of Visibility.

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility,” the White House declared on Good Friday. “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”

Biden also banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.

This is even though Easter is a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Real Clear Politics’ Philip Wegmann said in an X post Monday, “‘I didn’t do that,’ Biden said when asked about proclaiming Easter Sunday ‘trans day of visibility.” Asked about Speaker Johnson’s claim otherwise, the president replied, ‘he’s thoroughly uninformed.’”

Freeloading Illegal Alien TikToker Who Urged Followers To Invade US Homes, Waved Cash Arrested By ICE   BY TYLER DURDEN

MONDAY, APR 01, 2024 – 07:55 AM – Leonel Moreno, the illegal alien known as the “migrant influencer,” who amassed a half million followers on TikTok, was finally arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Friday in Gahanna, Ohio, according to Epoch Times.

In a series of short videos on TikTok, Moreno bragged about receiving ‘stacks of cash’ from American taxpayers and urged other illegal aliens to take advantage of all the free money progressives were handing out. He has thanked “Papa Biden” for the free cash.

“You’re hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand?” he said in another video, noting, “That’s the difference between you and me. I’m always going to make lots of money without much work, and you’re always going to be exploited and miserable and insignificant.”

Moreno even encouraged other illegal aliens to invade American homes under squatting laws: “I learned that there is a law that says if a house is not inhabited, then we can take it … and here in the United States, terrain deformation also applies, and I think that will be my next business: invade abandoned houses.”

Thanks to President Biden’s disastrous open southern borders, Moreno crossed into the country illegally in early 2022 through Eagle Pass, Texas. He skipped out on his initial check-in with ICE.

In a statement on Friday, The Epoch Times quoted ICE officials who said Moreno was caught in the suburban Columbus area of Gahanna.

“Leonel Moreno is an unlawfully present citizen of Venezuela, who illegally entered the country April 23, 2022.

“Moreno was placed into the ATD [Alternatives to Detention] program by Border Patrol and was told to report to Enforcement and Removal Operations office within 60 days of arriving at his destination.”

“Moreno did not report as required. On March 29, 2024, Moreno was arrested in Gahanna, Ohio, by officers with ERO Detroit’s Columbus office and is currently detained pending further immigration proceedings.”

Most Americans are open to legal immigration and importing some of the best and brightest to further the progress of this nation. However, the Biden administration and allied taxpayer-funded NGOs are importing some of the dumbest criminals the world has to offer ahead of the elections.

 

INSANITY: El Paso Judge Orders Release of Illegal Immigrants Who Stormed the Border and Rioted Against National Guard   By Jim Hft

Apr. 1, 2024 7:30 am – On Easter Sunday, El Paso Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta ordered the release of a large group of illegal immigrants accused of participating in a violent encounter with National Guard troops along the Rio Grande.

The incident, which took place on March 21, has been described by authorities as a “border riot,” during which illegal immigrants, predominantly men from Venezuela, overwhelmed security measures and clashed with National Guard forces.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that hundreds of illegal aliens from Africa, Central America, Colombia, and Venezuela made a rush for the border in El Paso, Texas after they were pushed south of the concertina wire in the middle of the night by the National Guard.

The illegals breached the concertina wire, overwhelmed National Guard members, and made a rush for the border.

‘Operation Anti-Migrant’: Russia Starts Mass Deporting Muslims After Moscow Concert Massacre   By Ben Kew

Apr. 1, 2024 7:00 am – Russian authorities have begun deporting large numbers of Muslims in the wake of last week’s deadly Islamist state attack at a Moscow concert hall, in an effort that has been reportedly dubbed “Operation Anti-Migrant.”

According to The Moscow Times, anti-Islamic sentiment has soared in the aftermath of the attack, in which at least 144 people were killed and hundreds of more were wounded or in critical condition. Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the massacre.

The Times notes:

Authorities in St. Petersburg have been deporting migrants en masse in the week since the deadly attack on a Moscow region concert hall, the legal rights group Perviy Otdel said Friday. More than 64 foreigners were deported from the city’s Vyborgsky district on Thursday alone, the NGO said, citing one of its unidentified lawyers.

A number of buses carrying migrants were also headed to St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo International Airport on Friday afternoon, they added. The countries where the migrants were being sent to were not specified, though it is known that labor migrants in Russia mostly hail from poor Central Asian countries.

The four men accused of carrying out the attack were from Tajikistan, a majority Muslim country that does not share a border with Russia.

RadioFreeEurope reported:

Russia is deporting hundreds of foreigners for immigration violations in the wake of the deadliest terrorist attack in nearly two decades. Meanwhile, many Tajik migrant workers are leaving the country on their own accord, fearing an increase in xenophobia.

Russian law enforcement has carried out sweeping checks of immigrants in the country after gunmen on March 22 killed 144 people at a concert hall near Moscow. Four of the suspected gunmen are Tajik citizens.

Courts in St. Petersburg this week ruled to deport 418 foreign citizens while another 48 must leave on their own accord, spokeswoman Daria Lebedeva said in a post on Telegram. The foreigners were rounded up in Russia’s second-largest city during broad searches of vehicles along major thoroughfares. Other cities are carrying out checks of migrant workers as well.

Islam is officially recognized in Russia as one of the country’s sanctioned religions, while Muslims represent around 14 percent of the its overall population.

However, there have long been tensions between Moscow and  Muslim-majority such as Chechnya and Dagestan, where separatist movements seek to set up their own Islamic republics.

 

PURE EVIL: Individual Sets Trailer Full of Bibles on Fire in Front of a Tennessee Church on Easter Sunday    By Cullen Linebarger

Mar. 31, 2024 7:30 pm – A sinister individual committed a heinous and criminal act in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee on Easter Sunday.

As WSMV 4 News reported, Wilson County deputies responded to a trailer fire at Old Lebanon Dirt Road and Chandler Road around 6 a.m. Easter Sunday. Mt. Juliet Fire Department crews contained and extinguished the fire, but not before the Bibles in the trailer burned.

Police revealed the trailer of Bibles was left in the middle of the intersection near Global Vision Bible Church and then intentionally set on fire. They did not reveal the person’s race or gender.

Sheriff Robert Bryan told News Channel 5 Nashville that investigators are reviewing the security footage, and said the car appears to be an out-of-state plate.

Global Vision Bible Church is headed by Pastor Greg Locke, who is a prominent Christian Conservative and supporter of President Trump. He has made a number of politically incorrect statements targeting Democrats and transgenderism.

Locke said in a Facebook post that his security team caught a man dropping off the trailer who then got out and set the trailer of Bibles on fire in front of the church. He also claimed that a woman drove through the night and was able to alert police quickly.

Happy Resurrection Sunday. This morning at 6:00 AM, our security cameras saw a man dropping off a trailer in the middle of the intersection and blocking the road into our church. He then got out and set fire to an entire trailer full of Bibles right in front of our church.

There was a lady that had driven through the night to get to our church, and she was in the parking lot and was able to get the police officers here quickly, but it was quite the scene to wake up to on my first morning back from Israel. Had to block traffic in all directions but they are almost finished cleaning it up. It’s going to be a great day in the Lord. The enemy is already.

Locke told WKRN he was shocked when he saw the burned Bibles. He also said the suspect was “very meticulous” and called the act a “rebellious statement” toward Global Vision Bible Church.

“It was strange because he had his blinkers on, and he scotched the wheels and everything,” Locke said. “He was very meticulous, so he had to be very courageous to do what he did.”

“We’ve had people do things to our building, we’ve been vandalized a number of times, hence why we have to have security, but never 200 Bibles being burned. That’s a pretty rebellious statement towards the church.”

Individuals with additional information are being encouraged to call the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office at 615-444-1459.

 

Chilling: They Can’t Even Train AI to Be More Conservative Than It Is Leftist   By C. Douglas Golden

Mar. 31, 2024 8:00 pm – I don’t think I need to tell you, when Google’s Gemini AI has been spitting out images of black female founding fathers, that generative AI is hopelessly woke. The assumption, of course, was that Silicon Valley progressives were the ones behind this sinister social engineering and that, deeply embedded in the code for ChatGPT was the formula to destroy conservatism, faith and the nuclear family for good.

However, there’s a more troubling prospect raised by a pre-publication study done regarding the political biases of generative AI platforms. To quote Walt Kelly: “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” Or, at least, “us” being the liberal media establishment.

On Thursday, The New York Times published an opinion piece titled “How AI Chatbots Became Political.” Despite this being the Gray Lady, itself essentially an AI chatbot that has become very political, the piece was actually worth reading as an explainer to why current AI bots skew left — and how a recent study seemed to indicate that these bots couldn’t be trained to be more conservative than leftist if they were fed partisan material.

But first, let’s start off with how commercial chatbots end up being liberal: “Access to open-source versions of A.I. models allows us to see how a model’s political preferences develop,” the Times noted. “During the initial base training phase, most models land close to the political center on both axes, as they initially ingest huge amounts of training data — more or less everything A.I. companies can get their hands on — drawing from across the political spectrum.

“Models then undergo a second phase called fine-tuning. It makes the model a better chat partner, training it to have maximally pleasant and helpful conversations while refraining from causing offense or harm, like outputting pornography or providing instructions for building weapons.

“Companies use different fine-tuning methods, but they’re generally a hands-on process that offers greater opportunity for individual decisions by the workers involved to shape the direction of the models. At this point, more significant differences emerge in the political preferences of the A.I. systems.”

Of course, several answers immediately come to mind as to why the bots then become political. Outside of a small number of deeply closeted conservative tech devs who would never in a million years betray or act upon their political inclinations, Silicon Valley is about as progressive as it gets. That’s the reason why, the man on the street assumes, AI is so liberal.

However, what if you tried to cultivate separate bots for separate political positions? That’s what David Rozado, a machine-learning researcher, recently did by administering a slew of political orientation tests to 24 of the most advanced language models.

Rozado, the Times reported, “found a consistent pattern: They tend to be politically left of center and lean libertarian instead of authoritarian. These leanings are reflected in their moral judgments, the way they frame their answers, which information they choose to share or omit and which questions they will or won’t answer.”

Massive Data Breach: AT&T Confirms Personal Information Including Social Security Numbers of 73 Million Current and Former Customers Leaked on Dark Web   By Jim Hft

Mar. 31, 2024 3:00 pm – AT&T has confirmed that a data set containing AT&T-specific information was leaked on the dark web around two weeks ago.

The communications giant is currently investigating to pinpoint whether the data originated directly from AT&T or through one of their vendors.

This data set notably includes sensitive personal details such as social security numbers, though the exact source remains under review.

Following the discovery, AT&T has initiated a comprehensive probe, marshaling both in-house and third-party cybersecurity experts. Preliminary findings suggest that the compromised data dates back to 2019 or earlier.

The breach potentially affects approximately 7.6 million current and around 65.4 million former AT&T account holders.

As Gold Prices Hit Record Highs, One 12-Page Pamphlet Tells the Story of God, Gold and Glory

Despite the severity of the incident, AT&T has stated there is no evidence to suggest an unauthorized breach of their systems leading to the leak.

The company has taken preemptive steps, proactively reaching out to affected parties and is offering complimentary credit monitoring services. AT&T is urging both current and former customers to visit their dedicated web page at www.att.com/accountsafety for further information.

Moreover, AT&T has issued an additional notice clarifying the nature of the exposed data. The leak seems to include customer passcodes, names, email addresses, residential addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. In response, AT&T has reset the passcodes for the 7.6 million current account holders who were affected.

“It has come to our attention that a number of AT&T passcodes have been compromised. We are reaching out to all 7.6M impacted customers and have reset their passcodes. In addition, we will be communicating with current and former account holders with compromised sensitive personal information,” according to the statement.

“Our internal teams are working with external cybersecurity experts to analyze the situation. To the best of our knowledge, the compromised data appears to be from 2019 or earlier and does not contain personal financial information or call history.”

“We encourage customers to remain vigilant by monitoring account activity and credit reports. You can set up free fraud alerts from nationwide credit bureaus — EquifaxExperian, and TransUnion. You can also request and review your free credit report at any time via Freecreditreport.com,” the statement added.

In February, The Gateway Pundit reported tens of thousands of cell phone users experienced outages Thursday morning for their home phone, internet, and mobile phone services, which sparked fears of a possible cyber attack.

AT&T said they have identified what caused the shocking outage for over 73,000 Americans as footage has emerged showing helpless AT&T store workers being harassed by angry customers.

The company announced in a statement that the outage was not a cyberattack but an unspecified coding error caused by “the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network.”

The “incorrect process in question” is related to a software update gone awry. Moreover, according to ABC News, the outage was not caused by an external actor.

[Ed.:  If anybody in that 73 million thought that if they use technology, they had any remaining personal privacy,  they were mistaken.]

 

Trillions of Cicadas Expected to Invade the United States in Rare Event That Last Occurred Under Thomas Jefferson   By Anthony Scott

Mar. 31, 2024 12:40 pm – Scientists expect trillions of Cicadas to invade the United States for the first time In 221 years.

At the end of April, trillions of Cicadas are expected to emerge from the ground and swarm across 17 states in a massive mating frenzy.

Live Science reported, “The rare double cicada brood will include the two of the largest cicada broods, Brood XIII and XIX, which will co-emerge en mass after having lived underground for 17 and 13 years.”

The last time a massive periodical brood occurred was in 1803, when Thomas Jefferson was President.

The rare mating frenzy won’t happen again until 2244.

Per The Sun:

TRILLIONS of cicadas are set to invade the United States for the first time in 221 years, scientists say.

In late April, two large broods of periodical cicadas are expected to emerge from the ground for a noisy mating frenzy.

“Billions, even trillions, of cicadas are going to emerge at the same time across 17 states,” Chris Simon, a professor in UConn’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, told Live Science.

Brood XIII and XIX have been living underground for 17 and 13 years respectively.

An event like this hasn’t occurred since 1803 when Thomas Jefferson was president and it’s not expected to happen again until 2244.

SAY YOU ARE SORRY: Tucker Carlson Demands Doctors Apologize For Recommending Dodgy COVID Jab   By Ben Kew

Mar. 31, 2024 11:00 am – Talk show host Tucker Carlson has demanded that doctors apologize for recommending the dodgy COVID-19 vaccine.

During an appearance on The Jimmy Dore Show, Carlson called on the tens of thousands of doctors who pushed the jab and other COVID related lies to apologize and admit they were wrong:

I think what’s so interesting is that doctors who clearly can read, I mean they’re literate by definition, they’re not stupid by definition, you hope, I think that’s true, they’re smart. Look at the evidence and fundamentally everything they said about the vax and it has hurt a lot of people. And some doctors, the three that you mentioned, and they’re great, but there are tens of thousands of doctors in the United States and why aren’t they standing up and saying oh my gosh I’m so sorry, I can’t believe I recommended it.

[Ed.:  Doctors:  ‘We’re sorry we only killed 14 million people.  We needed to get closer to 7.5 billion. Patients were worth more to us dead, than alive. We failed, we’re sorry.’]

 

REPORT: FBI Agents Captured on Video During Home Visit Admit They Spend ‘Every Day, All Day Long’ Interrogating Americans About Their Social Media Posts   By Jim Hft

Mar. 31, 2024 9:20 am – FBI agents have been recorded during a home visit to a Stillwater resident, admitting that scrutinizing Americans over their social media activities is a daily operation, Reason.com has confirmed.

Rolla Abdeljawad, an Oklahoma resident, encountered three FBI agents at her doorstep, inquiring about her Facebook posts.

Abdeljawad’s lawyer, Hassan Shibly, took to social media to post a video of the interaction. The video, which surfaced online on Wednesday, portrays a tense exchange.

In the video, Abdeljawad declines to speak with the agents and requests that they show their badges on camera, a request the agents did not fulfill. Abdeljawad later verified with local police that the individuals were indeed FBI agents.

“Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account,” one agent, donned in a gray shirt, informed Abdeljawad.

Challenging the agents, Abdeljawad questioned the principles of free speech, to which a second agent, clothed in a red shirt, responded reassuringly yet revealed the frequency of such interrogations.

“No, we totally do. That’s why we’re not here to arrest you or anything. We do this every day, all day long. It’s just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will.”

Shibly expressed his concern, noting that this was the first instance he was aware of where Facebook’s parent company, Meta, might have preemptively reported posts to law enforcement.

The specific posts that drew the FBI’s attention are not clear, but Abdeljawad has recently expressed strong views on the conflict in Gaza, including inflammatory statements against Israel.

Abdeljawad’s Facebook timeline, which is public, has been filled with posts expressing her frustration with the situation in Gaza, using harsh language against Israel. Despite the nature of her posts, none explicitly called for violence.

 

“Your Life Is In Danger”: Suge Knight Warns Diddy Over ‘That Secret Little Room’   BY TYLER DURDEN

SATURDAY, MAR 30, 2024 – 01:25 PM – Imprisoned rap mogul Suge Knight opined on recent happenings involving hip-hop rival Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, whose houses in Miami and Los Angeles were raided last Monday by Homeland Security in connection with a federal investigation into sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.

“We believe that there is a disturbing history of sex trafficking,” a DHS officer told The NY Post on Thursday, following the raid which resulted in the seizure of hard drives, phones and other evidence.

“We are responding to concrete, detailed, explicit allegations. This is not random. We didn’t choose his name out of a hat. We had allegations that we’re following up on,” the officer continued.

Knight Speaks

In response to the raid, Death Row Records co-founder Marion Hugh Knight Jr., aka “Suge Knight,” said during a Friday episode of his “Collect Call” prison podcast (!) that Combs needs to watch his back since he has “secrets” involving a “secret room.”

“It’s a bad day for hip-hop…for the culture…Black people, because if one looks bad, we all look bad. That’s definitely not nothing to cheer about,” said Knight.

“But I’ll tell you what, Puffy: your life is in danger.  Your life is in danger ’cause you know the secrets, who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in. They gonna get you if they can.”

While Diddy hasn’t been charged with a crime and has vehemently denied breaking the law, Knight – who’s serving a 28-year prison sentence for a 2015 hit-and-run incident, recommended that the rap impresario ‘surrender’ to authorities.

A Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility, 2024
BRIEFING ROOM

PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS
MARCH 29, 2024  – On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.

I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect.  I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military.  I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more.  I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.

Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation.  Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive.  They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves.  But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children.  These bills attack our most basic American values:  the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child.  It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year.  At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives.  Let me be clear:  All of these attacks are un-American and must end.  No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.

At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families.  The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence.  My Administration is also providing dedicated emergency mental health support through our nationwide suicide and crisis lifeline — any LGBTQI+ young person in need can call “988” and press “3” to speak with a counselor trained to support them.  We are making public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including with more inclusive passports and easier access to Social Security benefits.  There is much more to do.  I continue to call on the Congress to pass the Equality Act, to codify civil rights protections for all LGBTQI+ Americans.

Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans:  You are loved.  You are heard.  You are understood.  You belong.  You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.  I call upon all Americans …

 

Former Head of the Holy Office, German Cardinal Gerhard Müller Torches Biden’s Support for ‘Infanticide’, Suggests He Should Be ‘Excommunicated’   By Paul Serran

Mar. 30, 2024 12:00 pm – There was once a time, not so long ago, when the Vatican prelate tasked with the highest doctrine office actually cared about… the doctrine.

German Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, who headed the Holy Office under former Pope Benedict XVI, has just condemned U.S. President Joe Biden’s support for abortion.

Müller said called it ‘infanticide’, and said that people promoting this crime should be ‘excommunicated’.

LifeSite News reported:

“’The word ‘abortion’ is too much a soft word. The reality is killing, murder of a living person’, said Cardinal Gerhard Müller. ‘There’s no right to kill another person. It’s absolutely against the Fifth Commandment’.”

The cardinal made his comments during an interview with LifeSiteNews in Rome. He torched Biden’s very public and consistent pro-abortion.

This comes after Biden, in his 2024 State of the Union Address, promised to ‘restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again’.

“Cardinal Müller likened the killing of the unborn and the elderly to the ‘Nazi’ times, saying that ‘it’s absolutely unacceptable that you can say you are a Catholic and promote and justify killing of human persons, human beings [from] the beginning in the mother’s womb, until the last respiration [with] euthanasia… Killing of ill people, like in the Nazi times, is euthanasia’.

Biden is very public about his self-professed Catholic faith, but Cardinal Müller suggested that while Biden is ‘nominally a Catholic, in reality he is a Nihilist. It’s cynicism and absolute cynicism’.”

 

Federal Case Against Diddy Expands, Subpoenas Reportedly Issued to Affiliated Corporations Amid Asset Sell-Off — Ex-Bodyguard Claims Diddy is FBI Informant   By Jim Hft

Mar. 30, 2024 9:40 am – The hip-hop mogul and influential Democratic Party figure was seen at a Miami golf course, in his first public appearance since the raids on his homes, which have drawn parallels to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

As reported by TMZ, the Southern District of New York is extending its reach, issuing subpoenas to a network of corporations linked to Diddy. These include telecommunications companies and tech firms, with even aircraft operators being targeted in a sweeping collection of evidence.

Amidst this legal turmoil, Diddy has been divesting from major assets, including his shares in REVOLT TV, and returning music rights from Bad Boy Records.

TMZ reported:

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ subpoenas — all bearing Diddy’s real name, Sean Combs — were sent this week to various providers tied to the rapper, including his private charter jet, phone providers and computer companies.

We’re told the subpoenas were fired off by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York … which, as we’ve reported, is running the investigation.

Our sources say subpoenas will also be issued to commercial airlines, and possibly the FAA, just in case Diddy opted for commercial flights instead of his private jet.

As we reported, the feds’ goal here is finding out who flew on Diddy’s dime and where they went. They’re not only looking for alleged victims, but also any potential witnesses who could support or dispute allegations of human/sex trafficking.

What’s more … we’re told the subpoenas will enable feds to gather more intel about the nature of Diddy’s involvement with those various businesses.

There are also claims that Diddy has been operating as a confidential informant for the FBI, a role that might have afforded him protection from legal repercussions for his actions over the years.

Diddy’s former bodyguard has come forward, expressing a willingness to testify against him. This potential testimony, as well as corroborating statements from other insiders, could prove to be a turning point in the case.

The legal entanglements are compounded by a stunning allegation from Diddy’s former bodyguard, suggesting that Diddy has been a confidential informant for the FBI.

MUST WATCH: Guyana President Flips the Tables and Obliterates Woke BBC “Journalist” With Brilliant Response After Brit Tries to “Educate” Him on Carbon Emissions   (VIDEO  2:20)   By Cullen Linebarger

Mar. 30, 2024 1:00 pm – Earlier this week, Guyana President Mohamed Irfaan Ali dished out an incredible beatdown of a woke British “journalist” in a debate over “climate change.”

The BBC’s Stephen Sackur, who hosts the interview program HARDTalk, attempted to ambush Ali with a question regarding the country preparing to extract oil and gas off its coast. He tried to hide behind “experts” who claimed this would result in billions of carbon emissions being emitted.

But Ali quickly flipped the tables on him with an extended, brilliant response based on cold, hard facts. He first pointed out that Guyana has a vast forest bigger than England and Scotland combined.

He then turned to Shakur, saying “I will lecture you on climate change!” after the Brit tried to interrupt him and continued his rant. He pointed out Guyana has the lowest deforestation rate in the world, and even with the most extensive possible extraction of oil and gas; the country would still be at net zero emissions.

But Ali was not finished. He then pointed out the hypocrisy of Western journalists lecturing poor countries like Guyana when their countries have destroyed the environment and destroyed biodiversity throughout the world. Guyana, on the other hand, has maintained its biodiversity and protected the environment.

WATCH AND SHARE: Devastating Documentary ‘Climate: The Movie’ Obliterates Climate Scam, Shadowbanned By YouTube  [1:19:54]   By Ben Kew

Mar. 30, 2024 8:40 pm – A devastating new film by British documentary filmmaker Martin Durkin has obliterated the climate change scam in just 80 minutes.

Durkin, a former revolutionary communist turned staunch libertarian, exposes the climate change scam by interviewing a cast of world renowned academics and researchers who calmly break down how the earth’s climate has always been changing and not a result of human activity.

Climate: The Movie is neatly summarized by the conservative journalist Toby Young over at The Spectator, who describes it as the “cure for climate anxiety” experienced by so many leftist ignoramuses:

As well as detailng the paper thin fake science behind the climate scam, the film also explains how global elites invented the scam and then built a multi trillion dollar industry around it, creating incredible vested interests who will aggressively censor and attack those who contradict the official narrative.

“I made the movie because I think the climate alarm is bollocks and because I hate Greens (reactionary misanthrope snobs), and I love material progress (everyone getting richer), and the values and aspirations of what are called ‘ordinary people,’” Durkin told The Gateway Pundit in an interview.

The film is already being shadowbanned by YouTube and other Big Tech platforms, many of whom fear the prospect of people waking up about the extent of the climate change scam.

Climate: The Movie is avaliable for viewing on YouTubeRumble and the X platform.

 

DEVELOPING: Oklahoma Bridge Shut Down After Being Struck by Barge   (VIDEO)   By Cristina Laila

Biden Issues White House Proclamation Declaring EASTER to be ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’    By Cassandra Macdonald

Mar. 30, 2024 7:30 am – Joe Biden has issued a White House proclamation declaring March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

This March 31, of course, is Easter.

“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives,” Biden wrote in the declaration.

“I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military,” Biden continued. “I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.”

Biden wrote that “transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation.”

The Democrat also complained that “extremists” are working to keep pornographic books out of the hands of children — and to ban mutilating minors with “sex change” operations.

Biden wrote, “extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children.”

“At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families.  The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence.”

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”

Biden, who is Catholic, has also banned religious artwork from the White House Easter egg competition.

[Ed.:  What if we sniff the eggs?  Are Easter egg hunters now considered perverts?  Can someone hunt for Easter eggs and not be considered ‘gender neutral’?]

 

Trump Campaign Blasts Biden’s “Blasphemous” Proclamation Declaring Easter Sunday Transgender Day of Visibility   By Kristinn Taylor

Mar. 30, 2024 4:20 pm – The Trump campaign issued a statement Saturday blasting Joe Biden’s “blasphemous” proclamation of Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility. The campaign also criticized Biden for barring religious themes from a White House Easter Egg contest for children of National Guard members.

Transgender Day of Visibility was started by an activist in 2009 who set the day of the annual observance for March 31. It is not a federally mandated day of observance such as Vietnam Veterans Day set on March 29 which was signed into law by President Trump in 2017 and was observed on Friday.

Neither Barack Obama nor President Trump observed Transgender Day of Visibility while in office. Joe Biden became the first president to do so in 2021 and he has issued proclamations declaring March 31 Transgender Day of Visibility each year since. Biden and other Democrat officials are being criticized for maintaining the March 31 observance even though it falls this year on Easter Sunday.

Obama posted a statement last year, “On this Transgender Day of Visibility, Michelle and I want every trans person in America—and around the world—to know that we see you and we stand with you. Every LGBTQIA+ person deserves to feel safe and protected.”

[Ed.:  So Biden tries to change (even) Easter into ‘Transgender Day’.  What a pervert trying to legitimize his own perversions.]

 

CERN Will Test Powerful Particle Accelerator During Upcoming Solar Eclipse in April    By Anthony Scott

Mar. 30, 2024 12:20 pm – The European Organization for Nuclear Research, best known as CERN, will smash protons together at nearly the speed of light on April 8th, which happens to be the day a total solar eclipse will occur.

After close to a two-year hibernation, CERN will fire up its Large Hadron Collider in an attempt to discover dark matter, dark energy, and what the universe is made of.

According to CERN, “The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful accelerator in the world, and it boosts particles, such as protons, which form all the matter we know. Accelerated to a speed close to that of light, they collide with other protons. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the Higgs boson or the top quark.”

Scientists are already starting preliminary testing on the $4 billion LHC machine.

Per The Daily Mail:

The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator is set smash protons together on April 8 to search for invisible particles secretly powering our universe.

Theories have suggested there are 17 different particle groups and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, confirmed the existence of one using its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012.

Now, the team has restarted the LHC after a two-year hibernation with hopes of unraveling more mysterious – specifically dark matter.

Scientists began preliminary tests by sending billions of protons around the LHC’s ring of superconducting magnets to boost their energy and ensure the $4 billion machine was in working condition.

And next month, CERN will shoot them down a 17-mile-long tunnel at nearly the speed of light to recreate conditions a second after the Big Bang.

Joshua Ruderman, a physics professor at New York University, has described the LHC as “a particle creation machine and a particle discovery machine.”

CERN has not received a favorable opinion from the public eye in the last two decades.

In 2004, CERN received backlash after placing a Shiva Statue outside its headquarters in Switzerland.

LOOK:

In Hinduism, Shiva is regarded as the “god of destruction.”
