Landmark Decision: Appeals Court Strikes Down NYC Law Permitting 800K Noncitizens and Illegal Alien “Dreamers” to Vote as Unconstitutional   By Jim Hft

Feb. 22, 2024 2:00 pm – In a groundbreaking ruling, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department, has overturned a New York City law that would have allowed non-citizens to vote in municipal elections.

The ruling issued Wednesday affects an estimated 800,000 legal residents who are not citizens and illegal alien “dreamers,” thwarting the city’s efforts to expand the electorate in local races.

Dreamers are illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children, lived, and attended school here.

This decision upholds a lower court ruling issued by Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio in June 2022. The ruling, which Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council had attempted to overturn, stands as a significant rebuke to the city’s legislative body and its executive.

The law, passed in December 2021 but faced with immediate legal challenges, aimed to create a class of “municipal voters” consisting of noncitizens who reside in New York City.

“The local law created a new class of voters called “municipal voters” who would be entitled to vote in municipal elections for the offices of mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and council member. The law defines a “municipal voter” as “a person who is not a United States citizen on the date of the election on which he or she is voting,” and who meets the following criteria: (1) “is either a lawful permanent resident or authorized to work in the United States”; (2) “is a resident of New York [C]ity and will have been such a resident for 30 consecutive days or longer by the date of such election”; and (3) “meets all qualifications for registering or pre-registering to vote under the election law, except for possessing United States citizenship, and who has registered or pre-registered to vote with the board of elections in the city of New York under this chapter.”

 

Flashback: World Economic Forum Predicted Major Cybersecurity Event in Near Future – Obama’s Dark Netflix Special Involved Weaponized Cyber Attack… And Today a Nationwide Cell Phone Outage?   By Jim Hoft

Feb. 22, 2024 1:40 pm – As Cullen Linebarger reported earlier – Tens of thousands of cell phone users have experienced outages this morning for their home phone, internet, and mobile phone services. The shocking number of interruptions is sparking fear of a possible cyber attack.

The outages reportedly began around 4 am Eastern time and also affected thousands of customers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. Cricket, which is also part of AT&T, reported having 11,000 customers affected.

The most significant number of issues, though, was reported by AT&T users, which spiked at 31,931 reports at 4:30 am before again jumping to 71,000 at 8 AM.

The incident immediately had users wondering if this was a massive coordinated cybersecurity attack on American communication systems.

X user ZNO reminded readers that the World Economic Forum in January 2023 how geopolitical instability is increasing the risk of catastrophic cyberattacks. The WEC made a “prediction” of a major event in the near future.

Actually, the first time this video appeared was in January 2021.

 

A Bridge Under Construction in the Darien Gap Will Soon Provide an ‘Easier and Less Dangerous’ Path to the United States: Congressional Candidate    By J.M. Phelps

Feb. 22, 2024 3:40 pm – Mara Macie, a small group of journalists, and a few others arrived in Panama last Thursday to get a first-hand look at the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama—a place largely considered one of the world’s most dangerous migration routes.

The group was led by Michael Yon, a former Army Green Beret, war correspondent, and expert on the unabated migration crisis happening south of the U.S. border. Macie, who is running for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 5th Congressional District, said she is “very concerned” about the number of people coming through Central America to cross the southern border of the United States.

Often desiring to reach the United States, she said, migrants from all over the world cross the Darien Gap. In 2023, a record reported number of migrants—over 520,000—crossed the jungle that stretches between Colombia and Panama.

The first camp Macie visited, Lajas Blancas, received 1,300 new migrants over the course of the day. Most individuals she encountered came from Venezuela, while many others were from Africa, Afghanistan, Iran, and China. “When I [spoke to migrants and] asked about their final destination, a minimum of 95 percent of them said the United States,” she estimated.

Mammoth numbers of people are arriving at the camps to purchase $60 (USD) bus tickets that will take them from the Darien Gap through Costa Rica, she said, noting that “people are literally begging for money to get a ticket.”

Without the ability to fund their travel, others choose to make their northern journey by foot. Many receive maps printed by various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to help guide their trek to the United States. Macie said the maps are also posted at many of the camps.

Travel is dangerous, especially through the jungle of the Darien Gap. “In Yaviza, the Pan-American highways ends, which leaves no highway from Colombia to Panama,” she explained. “The Darien gap is the area where the roads on either side [of the countries] do not meet.”

“But the Panamanian government is building a bridge in Yaviza, connecting the two, making it easier and less dangerous for migrants to have a clearer path to immigration,” she pointed out.

Macie warned, “[America] does not have the capability of sustaining the influx it faces now, much less the one to come when the bridge is complete.”

A Crisis Indeed

After her weeklong stay in Panama, Macie said that simply referring to the massive flow of people to the United States as a “migration crisis” is an understatement. What she also witnessed was a “massive humanitarian crisis.” And with that, she called out non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for “claiming to be working [in the region] for humanitarian reasons [while showing little proof] of doing anything humanitarian.”

Propped up by various NGOs, she said, the hope of reaching America has “inadvertently, or possibly advertently,” affected the lives of millions of people while also destroying tribal regions along the route.

The conditions at the camps visited were “deplorable” with “people living in filth,” according to her. “These villages [in Panama] were once clean, agricultural villages. Now, there’s trash everywhere,” she said. “Dumped trash bags and water bottles can even be found throughout the jungle.”

“There’s pollution and there are people suffering,” Macie said. “But where’s the Left that claims to prioritize these issues?” According to her, “There’s nothing humane about what’s going on in these camps.” At best, Macie said injuries are treated by various NGOs as migrants emerge from the dangerous jungle of the Darien Gap. “Females, including very young females, are also given rape kits,” she shared, lamenting “who knows that they had to endure to get here, or what else they may have to endure to get to the United States.”

Interestingly, she said, “Red Cross is also giving them Covid shots—the Pfizer-BioNTech shot.”

“And while these people, the Embera, in Panama have lived off the land for 500 years,” Macie said, “the migrants passing through are creating an artificial economy.” They’re being sold food, water, and goods, for example. If the migration ends when someone like former president Donald Trump takes office, she warns their economies will collapse, and many will struggle to return to agricultural life. “What the U.S. is in part funding and allowing happen here is heart-breaking,” she said.

 

Michigan State Board Members Warn State Homeschool Registration List is a Precursor to “Unwarranted Home Entry”   [VIDEOS]   By Brian Lupo

Feb. 22, 2024 2:40 pm – The government loves putting people on “lists.”  They want a list of the vaccinated.  A list of gun-owners.  A list of individuals who make purchases involving the terms “MAGA” and “Trump”.  And now, in Michigan, legislators and the attorney general are pushing for a list of parents who homeschool their children.  But even more Orwellian, the dog-whistle is the possibility of “warrantless searches” for those who decide to homeschool their children in the Great Lakes State, according to one State Board of Education member.

On February 13th, the Michigan State Board of Education met for their monthly meeting.  Towards the end of the meeting, prior to closing, Board Member Tom McMillin of Oakland Township added his comments regarding a push to require registration requirements for homeschooling.

McMillin’s issue with creating a registration has been a contentious subject in Michigan dating back to at least 2015.  However, recently the proposed “list” idea has thrust itself back into the spotlight after a case in Clinton County, where two couples are accused of adopting “nearly 30 children, some of whom the [couples] are accused of abusing.”

In response to the case, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in an X post that “implementing monitoring mechanisms is crucial to ensure that all children, including those homeschooled, receive necessary protections.”  McMillin believes that “a mere registration, a list of people…will not help prevent what AG Nessel is talking about.”  He believes the list is nothing more than a pathway to monitoring and said that Nessel is “saying the quiet part out loud”:

“She basically said we want this list so we can have…warrantless home entry into this particular targeted group…but we have a legal system that says you have to have a warrant before you go in.

However, because of this one instance, some in the state want to be able to barge in and bust the door down….It’s not hyperbolic.  If they knock on the door and they say “no, I don’t want you to come in”…and there’s all kinds of reasons not to have them in…there’s a book called “Three Felonies a Day”…if the government wants to get you, there going to find something.  Without a warrant, they shouldn’t be coming into your house.

I just think…it’s going to go beyond registration.  They’re either naive or they’re being disingenous for anybody to say ‘all we want to do is have a list.’  It’s going to go significantly further than that.  They’re going to either want to know exactly what’s being taught or they’re going to want entry into the houses.  And so I think that this is a real problem.  I guess I just wish that the debate would be sincere.

…anyone with half a brain realizes it doesn’t stop there.”

 

Decadent Germany Turns to Pot, as New Legislation Set To Be Approved Decriminalizing Cannabis in the Country   By Paul Serran

Feb. 22, 2024 11:45 am  – Under the failed leadership of highly unpopular Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Germany’s decadence has become an unavoidable issue, even in the MSM.

You can find The Economist asking itself, Is Germany once again the sick man of Europe? Or the Financial Times warning that Germany faces the threat of creeping deindustrialization.

There’s also Bloomberg predicting that Germany’s Days as an Industrial Superpower Are Coming to an End, and the Associated Press noting that Germany’s economy is seen shrinking again in the current quarter as business confidence declines.

So, in this bleak outlook, the fabled German ‘geniuses’ come up with an ‘innovative’ idea: legalizing pot. That’ll turn things around and put the country on a path to development and harmony, right? <insert facepalm>

In a step toward the legalization of cannabis – and after facing strong opposition from lawmakers inside their own ruling coalition, Germany is set to approve the decriminalization of cannabis for recreational use tomorrow (23).

The measure is expected to take effect – of all days – on April Fool’s Day.

[Ed.:  This is probably a good decision for good-old Deutchland.  At least now, they can be stoned, while being raped and and beheaded by their imported musloids. Personally, I’d rather be stoned too while they take down my civilization!]

 

After Backlash, National MS Society Issues Tepid Apology to 90-Year-Old Volunteer Fired for for Asking What Pronouns Meant     By Margaret Flavin

Feb. 22, 2024 11:15 am – The Gateway Pundit reported on the decision by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) to fire 90-year-old volunteer Fran Itkoff after she expressed confusion about “what pronouns meant.”

After intense backlash, NMSS has issued a tepid apology to Itkoff that makes clear they will continue to align with woke DEI ideology.

Itkoff, who lives in California and has been an MS volunteer for 60 years, is a Lakewood/Long Beach Self-Help Group leader. She was allegedly asked by an unnamed worker at NMSS to use her preferred pronouns. Itkoff replied that she did not understand the request.

She then received an email telling her her organization would no longer be affiliated with NMSS for her “failure to abide by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guidelines.”

NMSS said at the time of Itkoff’s firing, “For more than 75 years, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has advanced one bold vision—a world free of MS. Through thousands of volunteers, dedicated staff, and generous donors, we live that vision every day. We welcome anyone to join us to advance that mission. As an organization, we firmly believe that we best serve and support those living with MS by creating a space that welcomes all. This is especially true for self-help group leaders, who are responsible for leading meetings for people affected by MS to confide in and support one another. Recently, a volunteer, Fran Itkoff, was asked to step away from her role because of statements that were viewed as not aligning with our policy of inclusion. Fran has been a valued member of our volunteer team for more than 60 years. We believe that our staff acted with the best of intentions and did their best to navigate a challenging issue. As an organization, we are in a continued conversation about assuring that our diversity, equity and inclusion policies evolve in service of our mission, and will reach out to Fran in service of this goal.”

The organization faced a PR disaster with intense backlash from the decision.

On Wednesday, they issued the following statement:

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society apologizes to our longtime, dedicated volunteer Fran Itkoff. Recently, we asked Fran to step down from her role as a group leader because of statements made that we viewed as not aligning with our recently implemented diversity, equity and inclusion policy. We realize now that we made a mistake, and we should have had more conversations with Fran before making this decision.

[Ed.:  The MS Society has hung themselves with their own rope.   Just like The Red Cross.  Their support is shriveling up.]

 

Seattle Activists Declare ‘Homosexual Intifada’   BY TYLER DURDEN

Authored by Jason Rantz via mynorthwest.com,

WEDNESDAY, FEB 21, 2024 – 09:45 AM – As if “Queers for Palestine” wasn’t enough of a self-parody, keffiyeh-donning gay activists in Seattle have declared a “homosexual intifada.”

After another pro-Hamas/anti-Israel march and rally that took over city streets that Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell ceded, the extremists plastered their signage around downtown Seattle. That’s when we started seeing a new flyer showing two men with faces covered with keffiyeh while embracing in a kiss. The pink-hued message says “Homo-sexual Intifada” in all caps.

Seattle’s homosexual intifada flyer is a stark oxymoron as brazen as it is ignorant. It signals LGBT Seattle activists are willing to become more violent in support of a terrorist organization that would order them tossed from the highest rooftop the moment they accuse someone of misgendering them.

LGBT Seattle activists support violent Hamas with more violence

Hamas, the governing body in Gaza since 2007, is as welcoming to the LGBT community as it is to Jews. And their track record is hardly rainbow-colored. Under Hamas rule, being openly gay isn’t just a social taboo; it’s a fast track to execution. LGBT people face arrests, torture, and extrajudicial killings based purely on sexual orientation. And these views against the LGBT community are not merely those of Hamas.

The situation is not much different in the Palestinian-controlled West Bank, where there are no LGBT rights. Palestinians in Gaza are as hostile, with, ironically, gay Palestinians fleeing to Israel for refuge. Israel is the only Middle East country with constitutional, employment, and other codified LGBT rights.

Pro-Hamas activists, in and out of Seattle, routinely and purposefully ignore the fact that Hamas hates the LGBT community. Yet, they continue to stay silent so that they may use all their hot air to attack Jews defending Israel against an existential threat.

“No One’s Got To Me… I Ain’t Scared Of Sh!t” – NYC Trucker Boycott Leader ‘Chicago Ray’ Steps Down   BY TYLER DURDEN

THURSDAY, FEB 22, 2024 – 04:00 AM

Authored by Chet Nagle via “Chet Nagle’s Now Hear This” on Substack,

Chicago Ray, the trucker who ignited the righteous anger of his fellow truckers and of millions of other Americans, has stepped down from his boycott leadership. Does that mean the end of the trucker boycott of New York City?

Chicago Ray was angry about the astounding $350 million fine that New York Judge Engoron levied against former President Trump in the recent fraud case. But what Chicago Ray, the truckers, and so many Americans were really angry about was our corrupt judicial system and the evil overlords who created it.

We the people know what happened to Chicago Ray. Despite his denials, the enforcers of the Deep State made a phone call or left a message under the windscreen wipers of his truck like, “Boycott Boy, you gonna have a bad accident before your haul is over.” Or they made a call to his cell phone like, “If you don’t end this boycott bullshit your family and home will be gone when you get back home.”

You can almost see and hear those threats when Chicago Ray posted, “I took that video down from Friday because it went viral and my Grandson seen it on Tik Tok.”

Newsweek reported Chicago Ray took down his original post and posted a new one on Monday “in which he distanced himself from the boycott calls and stressed that he was not encouraging anyone to do anything.” That post was also later deleted, but a screen grab of it was shared (with Newsweek) by the progressive MeidasTouch in which he said, “Just to be clear… I’m no figurehead of any movement…”

Newsweek also reported Chicago Ray said, “I’m not leading, nor have I encouraged, or am I encouraging anyone to do anything other than what they were doing prior to the ruling on Friday in New York City.”

Does that sound like the way trucker Chicago Ray talks, or does it sound like someone dictating a statement to him?

Chicago Ray also posted, “No one’s got to me … I heard what drivers were saying and I’m hearing some of that today, I ain’t scared of s–t. I grew up in Chicago. I stand with Trump 100%. Truckers for Trump drivers can make their own decisions based on their families and their careers.” But then he took down that post too.

As of noon Monday, the Freightwaves SONAR platform that tracks inbound and outbound truckload freight tender rejections into and out of New York City shows no reductions in truck traffic. Nevertheless, I am getting some confirmations of truckers and trucking companies that are refusing loads for the city. If those refusals amount to as much as 10% of the usual daily traffic, New Yorkers will experience a massive surge in prices for food, fuel, and other essentials. Chaos will reign in the Big Apple.

So the boycott is not dead yet, unless the Deep State enforcers reach beyond threatening Chicago Ray and begin to threaten individual truckers and trucking companies – and you better believe they will try to do just that.

In 2022 the Canadian government froze the bank accounts of truckers in the Freedom Convoy who were protesting Canada’s Covid vaccine mandates by using their trucks to block the streets of their capital, Ottawa.

But freezing the bank accounts of truckers boycotting New York City would be difficult because the Deep State henchmen and bureaucrats might have difficulty in quickly identifying specific truckers who quietly refuse to take loads into the city. Instead, the Deep State could menace trucking companies with one regulation or another and threaten to suspend their licenses.

The corrupt federal and state regulators and bureaucrats and courts will think of something. But they will be racing against the clock to avert the chaos in New York City. What could they do to truly end the boycott? Could the New York Governor step in as did the governor of Colorado in 2021? Could Judge Engoron be persuaded to revise his fine?

Or could we the people, we who are the many against the few, finally make our voices heard?

The Rigged System Poses a Real Threat to Trump   NATE JACKSON

The former president has to pay the massive New York fine before he can appeal, and victory is not assured.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 – Donald Trump may be rich, but forking out more than $500 million hurts even him. Aside from the ridiculously massive $83 million second defamation settlement awarded to E. Jean Carroll recently, Trump was hit Friday by New York Judge Democrat hack Arthur Engoron with an utterly disproportionate fine of $355 million plus perhaps $100 million in interest for “defrauding” banks and real estate companies in New York City real estate deals. And he must pay that fine before he can appeal to the New York Court of Appeals, even though he may and should win that appeal.

Trump’s Truth Social post was simple and to the point: “Eighth Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, no excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

Obviously, this is an excessive fine because, as we said Friday, though he falsely inflated the value of his real estate holdings, sometimes flagrantly, this is a “crime” with no victim. Banks gave him loans after due review and revaluation. He repaid the loans. No one lost any money. If any fine at all was in order, it should have been a tiny fraction of the one Engoron imposed. On top of that, however, he barred Trump from related business and loan applications in New York for three years and his sons for two years.

Remember, this case began because when Letitia James ran for New York attorney general, she campaigned in part on a promise to get Trump for something. She’d fill in the details later, finally settling on a civil suit over a victimless crime.

The legal outrage is apparent to non-Democrats, but again, the problem is that Trump is going to be out a lot of money just to make his appeal, and he can’t use campaign money to pay the bill.

“Basically, in the two relevant jurisdictions, a defendant who has been found guilty has 30 days to appeal,” explains legal expert Andrew McCarthy. “But unlike in the criminal system, there is no automatic right to appeal civilly. Rather, a defendant has to post the amount of the judgment, plus interest, in order to assure the court that the appeal is not simply for purposes of delay, and that the defendant will pay up if he loses.”

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley concurs: “In order to file an appeal, the courts require a deposit for the full amount of the damages or a bond covering the full amount. … It can be challenging enough for many companies drained from years of litigation. For Donald Trump, the demand for $355 million plus $100 million in interest could force a fire sale on properties to pony up just the deposit.”

 

WATCH: Massive Farmers’ Demonstration in Madrid Against Failed and Crippling EU ‘Green’ Policies and Regulations   By Paul Serran

Feb. 21, 2024 – The Great European Farmers Revolt is ongoing, with the vital food producers category going all out against the failed, crippling EU ‘green policies’ to deal with the environment.

Spanish farmers were some of the latest to mobilize, and they now seem to be gaining significant momentum.

Thousands of farmers gathered in central Madrid today (21) as part of their ongoing protests against both EU and local farming policies, demanding measures to alleviate production cost hikes.

It’s the biggest protest to take place yet in the Spanish capital. It comes after a fortnight of daily protests across the country.

Actions will include a rally outside the Agriculture Ministry headquarters.

Associated Press reported:

“Many of the tractors flew Spanish flags and some farmers carried banners reading, ‘There is no life without farming’, and ‘Farmers in Extinction’. ‘It is impossible to live from the rural industry, which is what we want, to live from our work. That is all we ask for’, Silvia Ruiz, 46, a livestock farmer from the north-central area of Burgos told the press.”

Organizers said they were bringing 500 tractors and many more farmers on buses.

“Similar protests have taken place across the bloc in recent weeks. Farmers complain that the 27-nation EU’s policies on the environment and other matters are a financial burden and make their products more expensive than non-EU imports.

Spain and the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, have made some concessions in recent weeks but farmers say they are insufficient.”

Farmers also complain about a law aimed at guaranteeing that wholesale major supermarket buyers pay fair prices for their agricultural produce isn’t enforced, even while consumer prices soar.

Dr. Phil Blasts Medical Associations for Pushing ‘Gender Affirming Care’ on Children  (VIDEO)   By Mike Lachance

Feb. 20, 2024 9:00 pm – Dr. Phil appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast this week and slammed medical associations for going along with the trans agenda and for using the Orwellian term ‘gender affirming care.’

He correctly pointed out that the first principle of medicine is to do no harm.

He also noted that many European countries will no longer do this because it causes harm.

From the Daily Caller:

‘It Does Harm’: Dr. Phil Slams Major Medical Associations For ‘Pushing’ Child Transgender Care

Former daytime TV talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw slammed major medical associations on Tuesday by calling out how they have pushed for child “gender-affirming care” without extensive research.

Dr. Phil appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to discuss his thoughts regarding the recent push from medical institutions that are continuing to encourage “gender-affirming care,” which entails procedures such as sex reassignment surgery or medication for hormone therapy. Dr. Phil called out the major medical associations who “signed off” on the medical transgender care regardless of the lack of information on “long-term harm.”

“It’s interesting they choose words like ‘gender-affirming care.’ You know, that’s interesting that they call it that, but really what they’re talking about is hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery on children,” Dr. Phil said. “And, in fairness, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Endocrine Society or whatever the exact name of that is – all of the major medical associations have signed off on this, Joe. They signed off on it.”

Indiana Couple Appeals to Supreme Court After Losing Custody for Not Using Transgender Son’s Preferred Pronouns  (VIDEO)   By Jim Hft

Feb. 21, 2024 8:15 am – An Indiana Catholic couple, Mary and Jeremy Cox, are taking their legal battle to the Supreme Court after their son was removed from their home by the state government for not using his preferred gender pronouns.

In 2019, their son declared a female gender identity, which the Coxes, devout Catholics, did not acknowledge in accordance with their religious beliefs. They instead sought therapy for what they considered underlying mental health issues.

“The Coxes also believed that he needed help for underlying mental health concerns, including an eating disorder. To address both issues, they provided therapeutic care for their child’s gender dysphoria and scheduled appointments with a specialist to help him with the eating disorder,” according to the press release.

The Indiana Department of Child Services started an investigation in 2021 when it came to light that the Coxes were not addressing their son by his chosen name and pronouns.

Despite the absence of abuse, Indiana officials decided that the couple’s non-acceptance of their son’s gender identity was harmful to the child’s mental health and contributed to an eating disorder, leading to the child’s removal. He was placed in a foster home that affirmed his transgender identity.

According to Indiana state officials, the child “should be in a home where she is [ac] accepted for who she is.”

The press release added, “The court restricted the Coxes’ visitation time to a few hours once a week and barred them from speaking to their child about their religious views on human sexuality and gender identity.”

“After completing its investigation, Indiana made an about-face and abandoned all allegations against Mary and Jeremy, admitting that the accusations of abuse were unsubstantiated. However, Indiana surprised the parents by arguing that the disagreement over gender identity was distressing to their child and contributed to his eating disorder—even though that disorder became worse after he was removed and placed in a transition-affirming home. The trial court relied on Indiana’s argument to keep the child out of his parents’ custody and keep the gag order in place. In short, even though the court agreed that the Coxes were fit parents, it upheld the removal of their child. An appeals court upheld the removal.”

Betrayed: Biden Regime Proposes Anti-Israel ‘Ceasefire’ Resolution at United Nations Security Council    By Pamela Geller

February 20, 2024 – Instead of demanding that the terrorists release of the 134 hostages (including Americans), the Democrat regime is demanding Israel surrender. Biden’s UN Resolution against Israel is depraved and shameful.

According to a Reuters report, the Democrat ruling regime is proposing a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, combined with an objection to the planned IDF invasion of Rafah, on Gaza’s southern border with Egypt.

According to the IDF, Rafah is where the remaining Hamas leaders are hiding in their underground tunnels, surrounded by 134 dead and alive Israeli hostages. The US resolution, should it be submitted and voted on, is a lifeline to murderers such as Yahya Sinwar, and a halt to any further Israeli attempts to seek and release more hostages by force. (Jewish Press)
What Americans don’t get about Israelis fighting for their lives

They fail to understand a traumatized nation facing genocidal foes—one that is united behind a war whose aim is the preservation of their very existence.

 

How Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks Work   By Tom Harris

Apr 24, 2023 – Non-nuclear EMP Weapons

The United States has NNEMP weapons in its arsenal. Much of the United States’ EMP research has involved high-power microwaves (HPMs) that are like super powerful microwave ovens that can generate a concentrated beam of microwave energy. In 2012, the U.S. Air Force successfully demonstrated a missile equipped with tech from the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP). An improved version of that weapon — the High-Powered Joint Electromagnetic Non-Kinetic Strike Weapon (HiJENKS) — was being tested as of 2022.

Non-nuclear EMPs can also come in the form of flux compression generator bombs (FCGs), which date back to the 1950s. This sort of EMP bomb has a fairly simple design, illustrated below. The bomb consists of a metal cylinder (called the armature), which is surrounded by a coil of wire (the stator winding). The armature cylinder is filled with high explosive, and a sturdy jacket surrounds the entire device. The stator winding and the armature cylinder are separated by empty space. The bomb also has a power source, such as a bank of capacitors, which can be connected to the stator.

Here’s the sequence of events when the bomb goes off:

  • A switch connects the capacitors to the stator, sending an electrical current through the wires. This generates an intense magnetic field.
  • A fuze mechanism ignites the explosive material. The explosion travels as a wave through the middle of the armature cylinder.
  • As the explosion makes its way through the cylinder, the cylinder comes in contact with the stator winding. This creates a short circuit, cutting the stator off from its power supply.
  • The moving short circuit compresses the magnetic field, generating an intense electromagnetic burst.

 

China’s Infiltrators: ‘They Are Coming Here to Kill Us’   by Gordon G. Chang

  • China’s Communist Party is at this moment putting in place the infrastructure in America to attack America.
  • [I]n Reedley, California, near Fresno, authorities found a secret Chinese biological weapons lab with at least 20 pathogens, including the one for Ebola, and almost a thousand mice that had been genetically engineered to spread disease.
  • Chinese agents, in addition to hobbling Americans with disease and gunning them down, could bomb power stations, attack military bases, start wildfires, poison reservoirs, or create terror in dozens of ways.
  • These tactics come straight out of Unrestricted Warfare, a 1999 book written by two Chinese air force colonels and first published by the PLA Literature and Arts Publishing House in Beijing. The colonels argued that China can and should employ any tactic in attacking a militarily superior United States. Now, Americans can see how Beijing is operationalizing the suggestions in this how-to manual.

  • January 30, 2024. The French weekly, Le Journal du Dimanche, publishes the most comprehensive and detailed survey on what French Muslims think. Not surprisingly, the results are disturbing.
  • Every year, Muslims of France [the main French Muslim organization, and the French branch of the Muslim Brotherhood] organizes a conference that attracts hundreds of thousands of Muslims from all over Europe. The group also invites radical imams who speak to the crowd.
  • The survey further showed that 49% of French Muslims want Catholics to convert to Islam, and that 36% percent want churches to be transformed into mosques… The survey also discloses that 25% of French Muslims said that the word “France” is a word they reject.
  • France is a country where more than 70% of prison inmates are Muslim. According to reports, the crime rate among the Muslim population is high…. There are also more than two hundred rapes every day in France, most perpetrated by Muslim men who entered France illegally. Only 7% of illegal immigrants ordered to leave France are ever actually deported
  • A similar situation to that of France can be found in other Western European countries, where the Muslim population may be smaller but is quickly growing.
  • If Europeans wish to avoid such a future and keep their culture, they need to start making that outcome unmistakably clear to everyone, not just by words but by actions. If not, what we are seeing could well mean the end of the European civilization as we know it.

Chinese Invasion   [Video 2:19]    dun chuan@NFSC88JJ

Among the Chinese immigrants who have illegally entered the US southern border, there are individuals who genuinely desire to flee the CCP’s tyranny. However, there are also agents sent by Xi Jinping among these illegal immigrants who seek to sow chaos in the U.S. This is really concerning! Engagement policy with the CCP hurts the Chinese people. The influx of the illegal Chinese migrants is manufactured by the global elites.

#Chinese≠CCP

The CCP doesn’t want America to have a border, in fact you don’t have a border as the CCP is already inside your gate” via information about the CCP’s infiltration. Thank you

NYC Amazon Driver Showdown with Drunk, Naked Migrant   By Margaret Flavin

Feb. 20, 2024 11:40 am – Joe Biden is not letting the best and brightest pour over his broken border.

On Sunday, an Amazon driver in New York City said he was attacked by a drunk, naked migrant while delivering packages in the Clinton Hill area.

Police sources identified the migrant as Yeison Sanchez, 26, who resides at a shelter a few blocks from the incident.

According to reports, the naked migrant was allegedly drunk and clutching a beer bottle when the Amazon driver said he caught him trying to steal packages he was delivering in the area.

The New York Post reports:

“I was unloading my stuff, and a guy – he was like a pervert, he had his penis out,” the driver, who asked that he only be identified as Abu, told The Post on Monday.

“He’s in the corner of the street j–king off and I told him, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’” Abu added. “And he went into my van where all my mail and everything was at, and I pushed him away, and he ran towards me like he was going to aggressively hit me.”

Abu said he picked up a piece of ice from the ground and chucked it at the rowdy flasher.

Abu flagged down police officers in the area for help.

Unfortunately for Abu, Sanchez told police he was the actual victim and suffered injuries from the altercation.

While Sanchez was charged with petit larceny and public lewdness and was released without bail, Abu was charged with third-degree assault and released on a desk appearance ticket, according to police.

When informed by The Post that Sanchez was a migrant, the Amazon worker said that the man “was given a chance by being let into this country, and he didn’t use it.”

 

Mass Protests in Brazil, USA and Europe Next Sunday to Defend Bolsonaro as Lula Regime Targets and Arrests Opposition Leaders   By Richard Abelson

Feb. 20, 2024 10:00 am – Brazilian patriots plan to demonstrate against the far-left Lula government’s coup Sunday Feb. 25 after former President Jair Bolsonaro and members of his “Liberal Party” are raided by police and threatened with prison.

Argentine President Javier Milei, Italy’s Matteo Salvini and André Ventura from Portugal are expected to attend.

Brazilians are hoping President Donald Trump will attend as well.

The president of Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party Valdemar Costa Neto was arrested on February 8 after a search of his Brasilia home turned up an unregistered flamethrower. Flamethrowers are usually considered novelty items and not illegal weapons. Elon Musk sold 20.000 under the name “Not-A-Flamethrower” as a gag in 2018.  However, the Lula Regime will use any excuse to lock up the political opposition, it seems – much like the Biden regime in the US. Costa Neto was provisionally set free on Saturday Feb. 10.

Former Bolsonaro aide Colonel Bernardo Correa Neto was arrested at Brasilia’s airport when he arrived from exile in the United States Feb. 11 and put in detention at an army garrison after a custody hearing, Reuters reports.

Army colonel Mauro Cid, who served as Bolsonaro’s personal secretary, was arrested May 5, 2023 for  exchanging messages with exiled journalist Allan dos Santos, allegedly plotting a “coup” in 2022. Cid has allegedly “confessed”. His mobile phone records allegedly reveal compromising WhatsApp conversations between various suspects, including Bolsonaro, his former Minister of Defense, four generals, an admiral, and around 20 civilians, BNN reports.

The Federal Police, the private police force commanded by Brazil’s de facto “Supreme Leader”, Justice Alexandre de Moraes, raided Bolsonaro’s beach house and political party office Feb. 8, confiscated his passport and accused him of “trying to overturn the election result as part of an alleged military coup”.

In reality, however, Jair Bolsonaro did not do any such thing, despite hundreds of thousands of Brazilians thronging the streets in the largest pro-Democracy protests in world history in November and December of 2022. Bolsonaro was at pains not to do anything that could be construed as violating the constitution, as his supporters beseeched him to order a military intervention to stop the Lula Coup. The Gateway Pundit was the only news outlet in the world outside of Brazil following the protests.

Bolsonaro’s son Carlos, a Rio de Janeiro city councilman was raided by Alexandre de Moraes’s Federal Police goon squad on Monday, January 29 at both his residence and parliamentary office, as Gateway Pundit reported.

President Jair Bolsonaro has been banned from running for office again until 2030 and will face a hearing Thursday, Feb. 22 on orders of Alexandre de Moraes. On Monday, de Moraes finally granted Bolsonaro’s lawyers access to the records of his alleged coup attempt, Antagonista writes.

President Jair Bolsonaro “was summoned to give testimony next Thursday, 2/22, in Brasília, as part of petition 12100, resulting from the investigations/operations that took place the week before last. His lawyers will take the necessary measures to ensure the President receives all the broad defense constitutionally provided for”, Bolsonaro attorney Fabio Wajngarten wrote on X.

 

Suicide Pacts: The ‘Soros Plan’ to Destroy the West   [19:31]   ACT FOR AMERICA

From Europe to America: The Alarming Rise of Unchecked Illegal Migration

FEB 20, 2024 – Soros Plans and Biden-Mayorkas Policies: Parallel Paths to National Erosion

As the European Union grapples with the consequences of a suicidal migration pact, the United States finds itself on a parallel trajectory with the accelerated influx of illegal immigrants under the Biden-Mayorkas administration.

The EU’s LIBE Committee recently passed a migration pact dubbed the “Soros Plan,” a move that has eerie parallels with the current situation in the United States. The Biden administration’s intentional facilitation of illegal immigration, coupled with an agenda to grant amnesty and voting rights to over 33 million individuals, is placing major U.S. cities in situations reminiscent of Europe’s struggle over the past decade.

The European Parliament’s LIBE Committee’s adoption of the migration pact, termed the “suicide of Europe,” formalizes the distribution of migrants among member states and penalizes those refusing to comply. Countries striving to maintain their national identity without succumbing to mass migration will face severe financial penalties. The plan, known as the “Soros plan,” has been criticized for its potential to create migrant ghettos and erase national identities.

The video “With Open Gates: The Forced Collective Suicide of European Nations,” released eight years ago during the Obama migrant invasion of Europe, depicted the alarming reality of the situation. The video showcases the invasion of Europe and highlights the challenges posed by uncontrolled migration and where America is headed unless we ACT!

 

The Missing Crossfire Hurricane Binder: President Trump Demanded its Contents Be Released – The FBI Wants It Hidden from the American Public and Will Do Anything to Prevent It’s Release   By Jim Hoft

Feb. 20, 2024 8:00 am – President Trump declassified a binder on January 19th, 2021.

The now infamous binder contains hundreds of pages about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal. It contains damaging information about the corrupt actors involved in our government. Two different DOJ Attorney General’s have defied President Trump’s direct lawful order to publish the binder in the Federal Register. It’s been over three years now, and the DOJ continues to defy the presidential order and every FOIA request to make it public. Can we now raid the homes of former acting AG Monty Wilkinson, and current AG Merrick Garland?

You can still find the link to this memorandum of declassification here.

The DOJ had already made redactions to protect sources and methods, and returned the binder back to the White House before Trump left office. But the corrupt FBI also wanted to hide names of those involved in the scandal. So, at the last minute, the DOJ demanded the binder comply with the 1974 Privacy Act. The Act requires any “agency” that releases records to also hide personal or identifiable name information. The DOJ knew this Act didn’t apply to the White House, it was a stall tactic. The courts decided this 22 years ago that the Privacy Act was based on FOIA requests, and the White House is not an agency.

The page below came from the memorandum on declassification of the materials like to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane scandal.

 

Even The Washington Post Concedes the Biden Administration’s Favorite Gun Control Lie Is, In Fact, a Lie   By Larry Keane 

February 16, 2024 – It was a “The Pigs are Flying” moment after The Washington Post, the newspaper that has never found a gun control policy it did not fawn over, took up a gun control claim the Biden administration loves to repeat and determined it to be false.

To be clear, Glenn Kessler’s The Fact Checker couldn’t bring itself to award any Pinocchios – not one – to the false claim, but its thorough breakdown and analysis of the claim left nothing misunderstood. Saying that “Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children” is patently “Not True.”

We won’t hold our collective breaths for The White House to issue a formal statement acknowledging their repeated lie. Instead, we’re assuming President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, White House officials and gun control activists will simply continue repeating the false claim. And notwithstanding The Washington Post’s fact checking, this lie will likely continue to be uncritically reported as “fact” by the mainstream media.

Still, having The Washington Post take up the claim and acknowledge it is false should be deserving of at least a little praise.

Favorite False Claim

President Biden has repeated the claim often as he pushes again and again for more gun control. He began his campaign for the presidency in 2019 by calling firearm manufacturers “the enemy.” He now uses the “firearms are the leading cause of death for children” to push ever more restrictions on the Second Amendment while saying little to nothing about holding violent criminals accountable, let alone calling out soft-on-crime prosecutors who let those same criminals back out on the streets to commit more crimes.

Vice President Harris recited the false claim in two recent events in North Carolina and in Washington, D.C. The White House used the false claim as a lede in a recent press release announcing new White House unilateral gun control executive actions.

There’s no telling how often it has been repeated by U.S. Senators, Members of the House of Representatives, governors and any number of other local elected officials and gun control activists pushing the claim as a reason why more gun control is needed.

 

More Than 365 million Christians Face Genocide   by Uzay Bulut
February 20, 2024 at 5:00 am

 More than 365 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith, according to the Open Doors World Watch List 2024. “More believers are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year, than everywhere else in the world combined,” according to Open Doors. Pictured: The Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) building in Mangu, Nigeria, photographed on February 2, 2024, after it was torched by Islamic terrorists.

  • Except for North Korea, where the persecution is caused by “dictatorial paranoia” and “communist and post-communist oppression,” the main religion of all other countries and groups on the list is Islam.
  • “While some relief aid is available, this is mostly distributed through local Muslim groups and mosques, which are alleged to be discriminating against anyone not considered a devout Muslim.” — Open Doors, Yemen.
  • “More believers are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year, than everywhere else in the world combined.” — Open Doors, Nigeria.
  • “For Christians who convert from Islam, not even the veneer of tolerance is present.” — Open Doors, Iran.
  • “When the Taliban came to power, they did so with pledges to recognize more freedoms than in the past. But that hasn’t happened—if an Afghan’s Christian faith is discovered, it can be a death sentence, or they can be detained and tortured into giving information about fellow believers.” — Open Doors, Afghanistan.
  • “Of 34.5 million displaced people across Sub-Saharan Africa, around 16.2 million are Christians.” — Open Doors, Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Many of these incidents remain unreported by the mainstream media. And until the mainstream media, governments and international organizations start openly addressing the ideological and theological motives of the perpetrators, this worldwide, genocide-level persecution of Christians will likely increase.

 

Trump Breaks Silence on Alexei Navalny’s Death   by John Symank

February 19, 2024 – On Monday, former President Donald Trump issued his first comment on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, comparing the lawyer’s death to his legal problems and saying it made him “more aware” of what is happening in America.

Trump was quiet on Navalny’s passing over the weekend, after he died under mysterious circumstances in a remote Russian prison. President Joe Biden has blamed the death on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

However, on Monday, Trump issued remarks on Truth Social. He did not mention Putin by name, instead issuing complaints about prosecutors, judges and Democrats conspiring against him, just days after he was ordered to pay $354 million as part of a civil fraud trial decision.

“The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION!”

Trump, the leading candidate in the GOP presidential primary, has previously held relatively good relations with Putin, and has expressed a desire to have a closer relationship with Russia. Democrats have been highly critical of his rhetoric, and some Republicans have accused him of cozying up with dictators.

 

The Lankford-McConnell Immigration Bill Provided $7 Billion to Keep the Border Open and the Human Pipeline into the US Cranking Away   By Jim Hoft

Feb. 19, 2024 9:00 am – The James Lankford-Mitch McConnell immigration bill provided $7 billion to keep the border open and the human pipeline cranking away.

These same people won’t vote to fund a border wall – But they will vote to send $7 billion to NGOs to keep the the border open to illegal aliens.

Steve Bannon added this: “McConnell/Lankford Bill Provided $7 Billion for NG0s and Local Governments to Process Illegal Aliens Faster.”

This bill was supported by several Republicans.

They need to be turfed out of office

The Center for Immigration Studies reported:

The Senate bill included appropriations of huge sums of money — nearly $7 billion — to support a continuation of the Biden administration’s disastrous policies facilitating illegal migration with taxpayer funds.

The beneficiaries of this congressional largesse would be the contractors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and state and local agencies that provide housing, transportation, medical care, and other services to the migrants, and even foreign governments. This funding would enable the migration machine to keep humming, and greatly assuage the complaints of the state and local governments in places like New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Maine, Colorado, and other places that have given a warm welcome to the migrants (at least at first), and who seem to be fine with the situation, as long as the federal government covers most of the cost.

The following provisions were in the Senate bill, and could potentially be reprised in the next spending bills, which Congress eventually will have to pass to fund the government in 2024.

  1. $2.334 billion, available until 2025 to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to distribute to state governments and NGOs for “refugee and entrant assistance programs”, such as youth and family services, housing, medical care, and legal counseling (p. 32 of the bill).
  2. $36 million for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to fund lawyers for “certain incompetent adults” in immigration proceedings. The bill also would have authorized taxpayer-funded counsel for unaccompanied illegal alien minors, but no amount was specified for that program. (p. 62 and p 338).
  3. $1.4 billion from the budget for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to be transferred to the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) Shelter and Services Program, to be awarded to NGOs for providing shelter and other services to illegal migrants. Of this total, $933,333,333 million would be available immediately. An additional $350,000 could be spent if ICE is able to acquire detention capacity for 46,500 aliens and if DHS hires 200 CBP officers, 200 deportation officers, and 800 asylum officers. An additional $116 million could be spend if ICE conducts 1,500 removal flights and if 75 percent of Border Patrol officers are trained on asylum claims. (p. 67 and p. 82).
  4. $350 million to HHS to award grants and contracts to NGOs or state and local government agencies for additional “Refugee and Entrant Assistance” services to unaccompanied minors. (p. 84).
  5. $850 million to the State Department for “International Disaster Assistance”, to spend on unspecified “humanitarian needs in the Western Hemisphere”. Typically, much of this money is re-distributed to NGOs and contractors who apply for the funds in competitive and non-competitive programs (p. 85).
  6. $415 million to the State Department, available until 2026, to be paid to foreign governments. Of the total, $230 million is to increase the ability of grantee countries to “accept and integrate deportees”. Another $185 million is awarded to countries in the Western Hemisphere to reduce illegal migration. (p. 85).
  7. $1.287 billion to ICE to pay contractors to administer a greatly enlarged Alternatives to Detention Program (ATD) to lightly monitor illegal migrants who have been caught and released. For more on this provision, see here.
  8. The bill would have allowed international or American NGOs, or other agencies, to become approved fingerprint collection contractors, apparently in addition to the current contractor, Amentum, which specializes in security-oriented contracts with U.S. military and intelligence agencies, among other government business. (p. 275).

 

SHOCK VIDEO: Huge Line of Illegals “As Far as the Eye Can See” Traverse Down Steep, Rocky Mountain After Crossing Into San Diego   [VIDEOS]   By Cristina Laila

Feb. 19, 2024 6:00 pm – Joe Biden’s America.

A huge line of illegal aliens traversed down a steep, rocky mountain after illegally crossing into Jacumba, California on Monday.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants from all over the world are traveling through the Darien Gap en route to the United States every month.

Illegals from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and South and Central America are making the trek to the United States.

Jacumba, which is about 75 miles east of San Diego, has been a hangout for thousands of illegals after crossing the border. The high desert has been a drop-off location for smugglers for illegals to live in makeshift camps.

The group Border Kindness, which is a non-governmental organization that helps provide resources for illegals, has provided food and water in areas where terrain is difficult to traverse in the San Diego mountains.

A large group of illegals crossed through the open gaps on the border wall in Jacumba and traversed down the rocky mountain.

The line of invaders goes up the mountain “as far as the eye can see.”

“There is currently a huge line of illegal immigrants coming down a steep, rocky mountain after crossing into Jacumba, CA. The line appears to go up the mountain as far as the eye can see. Three men made it down already and told us they’re from Kazakhstan,” Fox News reporter Bill Melugin said.

DUTCH CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: Eritrean Migrant Gangs Cause Major Riot, Burn Police Cars – Geert Wilders: ‘I’ll Become the Prime Minister Who Finally Puts Things in Order’   By Paul Serran

Feb. 19, 2024 1:40 pm – Unchecked mass migration is the scourge of all Western developed nations, and the Netherlands is by no means an exception.

While the political elite is paralyzed, negotiating for months the formation of the new cabinet expected to be led by Geert Wilders, the country is still bound to the same failed Globalist policies imposed by Brussels bureaucracy.

While the migrants cause a whole host of problems for the Dutch economy and cohesion of its social fabric, in some aspects, the security problem is becoming the worst of them.

The rioting that broke out between two rival groups of Eritreans in the Netherlands a couple of days ago is a perfect example.

Police officers had to resort to tear gas to tackle the unrest in The Hague. Migrants torched police cars and a bus.

 

Biden’s War on Domestic Energy Intensifies   by Matt Egan & Brent Bennett

Feb. 19, 2024 5:00 pm – On Jan. 26, President Joe Biden took an aggressive step forward in his war on American energy by halting the permitting of new liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminals. This action has massive global implications, as TPPF’s Mark Mills laid out when the decision was publicly announced.

It also has the added benefit for the president of attacking primarily Texas and Louisiana, red states that account for the bulk of U.S. LNG exports. This decision comes on the heels of Texas taking steps to secure its border with Mexico, putting the state directly at odds with the administration—once again.

But the president’s politically motivated actions will reverberate far beyond America’s natural gas producing regions. By locking global supply and demand imbalances in place for longer, this decision will send billions of dollars to foreign producers and raise the cost of energy globally. Any short-term drop in domestic prices will ultimately be negated by reductions in future domestic production.

If this decision doesn’t help Americans and hurts our allies, why do it? Politics, of course, primarily appeasing the radical green cartel that forms a key part of the president’s base, and, perhaps to the surprise of a casual observer, rent-seeking industries looking to hoard short-term supply.

President Biden’s environmental extremism means our allies will become more reliant on our adversaries. For context, 87% of US LNG exports went primarily to U.S. allies in Europe and Asia. The Biden administration blunting America’s ability to participate on the world energy stage creates a vacuum that will undoubtedly be filled by the other major natural gas exporting countries—Russia, Qatar, and Iran—who are certainly not friends of the U.S.

 

Four Illegal Aliens Arrested, Charged with Strangling, Robbing Chicago Man on Train   By Cristina Laila

Feb. 19, 2024 4:00 pm – Joe Biden’s America.

Four illegal aliens living in a migrant shelter in Chicago were arrested and charged for robbing and strangling a man on the Pink Line on Saturday.

According to police, the four illegals identified as Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, 22, Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, 21, Carlos Carreno-Carreno, 20, and 18-year-old Yonnier Guasamucare Garcia, attacked and robbed a 48-year-old passenger near the Kostner station Saturday afternoon.

Excerpt from CWB:

Four men who live at a migrant shelter in downtown Chicago have been charged with robbing and strangling a passenger on the Pink Line, officials say.

The foursome attacked and robbed the 48-year-old man while riding a train near the Kostner station around 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, a CPD news release said. Chicago cops swooped in and arrested the suspects about 45 minutes later at the Pulaski station.

CPD identified the men as Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, 22, Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, 21, Carlos Carreno-Carreno, 20, and 18-year-old Yonnier Guasamucare Garcia. They all list home addresses in the 300 block of South Plymouth, home to the Standard Club migrant shelter.

Prosecutors charged each man with robbery and aggravated battery by strangulation.

More than 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age men from Africa, Latin America, China and the Middle East have invaded the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

Venezuela is emptying its prisons and sending their most hardened criminals and dangerous gang members to the United States.

Terrorists, MS-13 gang members and murderers are invading the US and unleashing hell on American citizens thanks to Joe Biden.

 

A little truth…     TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS

FEB 19, 2024 – There is way too much fake news floating around right now and way too much real news being hidden. People are buying into several different CIA ops and the trolls are out hot and heavy…so on this President’s Day here are a few of the most accurate posts I found to demonstrate the truth behind the lies they are pedaling. Hugs!

Putin didn’t kill his so-called rival Navalny – the CIA did. He was likely a CIA operative like Epstein and had to be taken out.

 

The Truth is Coming Out     Brownstone Institute  

February 19, 2024 – These are tough times for the “great reset.” The broad and global EV market is failing, mRNA shots are in disrepute, the reality of surveillance and censorship is getting media attention, and public anger at the whole of the wild push to wreck freedom and rights is rising quickly all over the world.

The more time has passed since lockdowns, the more clear it becomes that this was part of a much larger agenda. But here’s the problem. They are not giving up, not even close. The reason there have been no apologies is that they are not sorry. They are more determined than ever.

The one path of resistance is the creation of new information infrastructures such as Brownstone Institute. It’s our hope to shine a light on truth, protect the rights of serious research and commentary, and use every freedom we have left to highlight genuine science, logic, and enlightenment ideals.

In passing, our supper clubs are now selling out completely. This has to be a good sign!

We deeply appreciate your support. Given the odds, we certainly need it!

Here is some content since our last email:

Pfizer Never Stops Gaslighting Us By Lori Weintz. Pfizer’s cheery Super Bowl ad cannot change the fact that they never tested their BNT162b2 vaccine during clinical trials to see if it prevented transmission of Covid-19. Nor did Pfizer stop distribution when 90 days into the vaccination campaign, there had already been 1,123 vaccine-related deaths, and over 40,000 vaccine injuries.

Florida Still Stands Alone By Steve Templeton. Florida might be the only state investigating the truth about the US Covid response, but it’s still important that these efforts continue. The actions of the grand jury, the integrity committee, the surgeon general, and the governor might provide only a spotlight on the systemic problems and corruption of US public agencies. But it’s a necessary one. Even if people of all political persuasions don’t want to hear the truth, and try to bury it, throw it into a volcano, or shoot it into the sun, it’s still the truth, waiting for a chance to be seen, heard, spoken, and believed once again.

‘Experts’ Continue to Spread Misinformation By Ian Miller. Their proposed changes center around very basic guidance on isolation due to a Covid infection. You’d think that a very mild alteration to a policy so small would be widely celebrated, considering most members of the general public have long since abandoned isolation guidelines anyway. But that assumption rests on a misguided understanding of how committed Covid extremists are to pushing endless panic. And some of those extremists happen to work at the New York Times.

France’s “Pfizer Amendment” Could Turn mRNA Critics into Criminals By Sonia Elijah. On Wednesday, February 14th a highly controversial law was pushed through the National Assembly in France, potentially turning a critic of mRNA treatment into a criminal. The draconian law, which was quietly passed with virtually no debate, could throw anyone who advises against the use of therapeutic or prophylactic treatment (including experimental mRNA gene therapy) into prison for up to 3 years and pay a hefty fine of 45,000 euros.

The Covid Resistance Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize By Ramesh Thakur. It’s hard to see the Norwegian Nobel Committee defying the suffocating Covid narrative that took over the Western world, with a very few honourable exceptions. Of course if they were to do so, that would really stir things up and help to dismantle the narrative. One can but hope for the best while expecting otherwise.

The Wuhan Cover-Up by RFK, Jr.: Review and Analysis By Debbie Lerman. The Wuhan Cover-Up does a better job than any other book or article I have read at exposing the trends, forces, and institutions that brought us the Covid catastrophe – with hundreds of pages of notes and references. What’s frightening is that the enormity of the problem is beyond the scope of the book, not just to solve, but even to fully acknowledge.

The Great Reset Didn’t Work: The Case of EVs By Jeffrey Tucker. It turns out that the entire bit, including the fake prosperity of the lockdown economy, made possible by money printing and grotesque levels of government spending, was unsustainable. Even sophisticated car companies bought into the nonsense. Now they are paying a very heavy price. The new market depended on a panic of buying that turned out to be temporary.

Authority Isn’t What It Used to Be By Bert Olivier. My final rejection of ‘mainstream’ claims to authority happened during the Covid debacle. Whether a new, revitalised sense of legitimate authority could eventually be generated in the place of the spurious claims to authority on the part of those representatives of the supposed ‘New World Order’ who still wield power, only time will tell.

Rational Policy Over Panic By REPPARE. In view of their influence, international health agencies have a particular responsibility to ensure their policies are well-grounded in data and objective analysis. Moreover, governments have a responsibility to take the time, and effort, to ensure that their populations are well-served. It is hoped that the evaluation in the REPPARE report Rational Policy Over Panic presented with this article will contribute to this effort.

New Media Sues the State Department Over Censorship By Robert Malone. According to a new lawsuit filed in December on behalf of two media organizations, those being The Daily Wire and The Federalist, as well as the State of Texas and AG Ken Paxton versus the US Department of State (the State Department) through its Global Engagement Center (GEC) and various US government officials, it is alleged that the defendants are actively intervening in the news media market to both censor and limit the circulation of disfavored press outlets.

Gears of the Refugee Machine By Spike Hampson. In short, Americans (indeed, the entire world) now realize that the Biden administration is dedicated to getting as many illegal aliens into the country as possible. This is, of course, aiding and abetting illegal behavior, but rampant corruption in the media, academia, and politics ignores or dismisses it.

Conspiracy Theory Debunker Finds Real Conspiracies By Doran Howitt. The 2023 book Misbelief by Dan Ariely belongs to a genre I would label “debunking Covid conspiracy theories.” The book is meant to explore the thought process of people who subscribe to conspiracy theories, especially about Covid and the Covid vaccines. Thus I was surprised to encounter in the book two stories in which the author uncovered real conspiracies to hide information about Covid from the public.

Trump’s Covid Response Casts a Long Shadow By Thomas Buckley. Neither candidate has any reason to bring up the issue of the pandemic response. The situation is somewhat akin to the Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine of the Cold War – we won’t push the button if you don’t push the button and neither of us should push the button because we’re both going to die if we do.

Foxes and Hedgehogs By Julie Ponesse. The philosopher Isaiah Berlin starts his 1953 essay, “The Hedgehog and the Fox,” with this perplexing proverb attributed to the Greek poet Archilochus.

Political Shrinkflation By El Gato Malo. And his ruinous speech/diatribe defending himself that came off more like “old man yells at clouds” than “elder statesman,” Senor Biden is taking big hits left and right. And the knives are fully out for him and in plain view. No one is hiding anymore.

Intellectuals for Sale By Jeffrey Tucker. We’ve lived through this and seen too much to have the same level of trust we once had. What can we do? We can rebuild the ideal as it existed in the old world. The kind of genius we know was on display in a place like Salamanca, or in interwar Vienna, or even in the coffee houses of London in the 18th century, can return, even if on a small level. They have to, simply because the shape of the world around us depends fundamentally on the ideas we hold about ourselves and the world around us. Those should not be for sale to the highest bidder.

Another Variant, Another Desperate Cry for Masks By Ian Miller. Those who were responsible for incalculable damage will continue to skate scot free, while the cycle of unnecessary panic, inaccurate predictions, and the call for more masking rears its ugly head every few months as new variants emerge.

Hamas: Palestinian Civilians Are Also Terrorists   by Khaled Abu Toameh
February 19, 2024 at 5:00 am

  • When Hamas decided to drag the entire population of the Gaza Strip into another war with Israel on October 7, it did not care what would happen to Palestinian civilians.
  • If the hostages were indeed held in an apartment of a Palestinian family, this shows that Hamas has no problem placing Palestinian civilians in harm’s way.
  • Consequently, Hamas has no right to complain about the death of civilians in the war it initiated against Israel while it uses its own people to hold innocent kidnapped Israelis.
  • Hamas leaders leading lavish lives in Qatar and Lebanon do not care about the two million Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, nor do the leaders of the terrorist organization who are hiding in the vast network of sophisticated tunnels in the Gaza Strip. All they care about is their own survival
  • “The humanitarian aid is being stolen by those who call themselves resistance fighters. They claim they are defending us, but they are stealing all the aid coming into the Gaza Strip and then they sell it to the people for a very high price.” — Palestinian man in Gaza, X (twitter.com), February 16, 2024.
  • On February 15, sources in the Gaza Strip reported that Hamas terrorists killed Ahmed Abu al-Arja, a Palestinian boy, while he was trying to get food for his family.
  • [T]he participation of some Palestinian civilians in the October 7 massacre and the kidnapping of Israelis is extremely worrying: it illustrates that a large number of people in the Gaza Strip actually do support Hamas and its terrorism against Israel.

 

United States Sees LARGEST Population Increase in History in 2023 – Thanks to Joe Biden’s Open Borders   By Jim Hoft

Feb. 18, 2024 4:20 pm – The United States saw its LARGEST population increase in its 247 year history in 2023 thanks to Joe Biden’s open borders.

The US saw an increase of 3.8 million people in 2023 exceeding any previous year in population growth.

You can thank Joe Biden and his open borders for this historic number.

Kanekoa the Great reported:

The United States has just undergone its most substantial one-year population increase in history, with growth exceeding 3.8 million people in 2023, primarily attributed to illegal immigration, according to a recent report by John Burns Research and Consulting.

Under President Biden’s leadership, over 8 million people have entered the country illegally.

On Biden’s inaugural day, he signed executive orders that incentivize illegal immigration:

• Paused Deportations
• Suspended “Remain in Mexico”
• Stopped Border Wall Construction

As the nation grapples with the rising costs linked to illegal immigration, major cities are making budget cuts to essential services such as fire, police, sanitation, libraries, and education.

Despite facing these domestic challenges, President Biden and Washington D.C. politicians are advocating for allocating an additional hundred billion dollars to protect foreign borders from distant invasions.

The John Burns Research and Consulting Company recently released this report:

Population growth will rise to 1.8 million annually.
We expect the US population will increase by over 1.8 million annually through 2033, 400K more per year than recent Census projections.

We believe future immigration will resemble 2014–2017 more than the lower levels of 2019–2021 caused by the pandemic and restrictive government policies.

Immigration is key to driving population growth when births are falling, and deaths are rising.
Net immigration will account for 67% of population growth in the next 10 years, a significant jump from 54% since 2013.

A tight job market will attract foreign workers. Low unemployment rates and a slower-growing working-age population will draw more foreign workers into the US.

Lower fertility rates and an aging population will narrow the gap between births and deaths, reducing the contribution of natural population change.

Biden Border Crisis: Military-Age Syrian Men Illegally Cross Into San Diego   (VIDEO)   By David Greyson

Feb. 18, 2024 9:40 pm – Joe Biden’s America.

Three Syrian men were encountered by Griff Jenkins of Fox News at the southern border. The invasion of illegals has spiked in Jacumba (east San Diego County) since Texas has locked up the border.

“Where are you from?” Griff Jenkins asked.

“From Syria,” the illegal said.

“Why are you coming to the US?” Jenkins continued.

“Cause we love America, and we need a nice life,” the illegal replied.

“Come here for jobs?” Jenkins asked.

“Ya, a nice job,” the illegal responded.

Venezuela Gangs in the Chicago Suburbs?    By Terry Newsome – @terrynewsome357 and Paul Drabik @iampauldrabik

February 18, 2024 – In December of 2023, parental activist and host of the podcast Behind Enemy Lines, Terry Newsome, reported on migrant buses arriving to drop off illegals at suburban Chicago train stations. In Newsome’s reporting, he has uncovered evidence of possible Venezuelan gang members arriving in the suburbs and city of Chicago. Previously, bus routes were direct to Chicago. However, radical leftist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson directed Chicago law enforcement to pull over these buses and either ticket or impound the buses delivering illegals to the city. This act of overt political posturing was a signal by Johnson, admittedly, to call attention to Governor Abbott of Texas and his continuous export of illegals to sanctuary states and cities. The implication is that Abbott is the perpetrator of an inhumane project directed at overloading these states and cities with illegals.

The reality, however, is that Johnson has used women and children as political pawns during the coldest months of the year in the Chicago land area. Temperatures in January 2024 had reached as low as 20 below zero. Illegals by the hundreds were delivered to train stations across the suburbs in the frigid January temperatures. Effectively, Johnson created a logistical catastrophe that not only put illegals – including women and children – at risk of health issues in the frigid temperatures, but he also increased the burden of the taxpayer by adding layers to the illegal entitlement program in effect throughout the sanctuary state of Illinois. The result has been yet another $17 million of taxpayer funds earmarked by Governor Pritzker to address the migrant crisis in the suburbs. Meanwhile, many suburbs, such as Schaumburg and Elk Grove Village, are passing ordinances to deny bus drop-offs in their jurisdictions.

Given the recent reporting of Behind Enemy Lines and Terry Newsome, it is no wonder why many Illinois suburbs are enacting ordinances to keep illegals out. In a recent article by the New York Post, it was noted that the notorious Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, has established a presence in the U.S. by migrating through the open border. Along with such transnational criminal organizations as MS-13, these gangs are proving to be a danger to citizens in many cities across the country.

Among the revelations about Tren de Aragua in the New York Post article was their commonly used hand sign. As Behind Enemy Lines was covering the migrant drop-offs in Downers Grove, Illinois, Newsome approached a group of military-aged young men from Venezuela. Shockingly, as observable in the screenshots, young men can be seen flashing the very hand signs referenced in the New York Post article.

 

NYPD Faces Unprecedented Surge in Violence: Over 5,300 Officers Assaulted in 2023 and 1,200 Injured in Just 90 Days   By Sharika Soal

Feb. 18, 2024 12:20 pm – In news that should be heard all around the world, liberals are hurting cops, and no one is being forced to apologize.

Over the last quarter of 2023, 1,286 NYPD officers were injured in physical altercations with suspects. This brought the total to 5,363 cops wounded in 2023.

The New York Post reports,

The 40th Precinct in Mott Haven, the Bronx, was the most dangerous battleground, where 135 cops were injured during struggles with lawbreakers, the stats show.

Next, with 129 injuries, was the 75th Precinct in Brooklyn, which covers East New York and Cypress Hills.

“No real surprises here – all very busy commands where perps are emboldened to fight,” observed one law enforcement source.

Radical protests, an influx of criminal migrants, bail reform, anti-cop rhetoric and soft-on-crime prosecutors is the brew that fuels the dangerous and disturbing trend, experts told The Post.

Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry called the assaults on NYPD cops a “full-blown epidemic.” He added: “Even the simplest summonses are turning into all-out brawls. Our justice system needs to send a clear message, once and for all — is you assault a police officer, you will stay in jail.”

The number of uniformed officers injured in attacks by suspects increased by 20% in 2022, from 3,933 in 2021 to 4,724 in 2022. A total of 5,363 attacks were reported in 2023, a 13% increase over last year (4,737)

 

LAWRENCE SELLIN EXCLUSIVE: Biden’s Department of Agriculture Is Conducting Bird Flu Research with a Chinese Scientist Linked to People’s Liberation Army   by Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D

Feb. 18, 2024 3:00 pm – In a letter to Tom Vilsack, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) demanded answers to why the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is funding a collaboration with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked researcher involving dangerous bird flu experiments.

Senator Ernst pointed out that the researcher involved with those experiments is affiliated with China’s infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology, from where the COVID-19 pandemic is believed to have started. Like the dangerous experiments on coronaviruses conducted in unsafe laboratories in Wuhan, this collaboration will involve a form of gain-of-function research that could make the virus more infectious.

What Senator Ernst failed to notice was that the Chinese scientist she identified, Wenjun Liu, is also a frequent research collaborator with scientists from China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

Wenjun Liu, who is now Deputy Director of the Key Laboratory of Pathogenic Microbiology of Immunology, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Science, received a Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 1996. Between 1996 and 2000, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Howard Hughes Medical institute/Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and became a Senior Scientist at Genzyme Corporation until he returned to China in 2004.

The five-year Department of Agriculture project with China, “US-UK-China Collab: Predictive Phylogenetics For Evolutionary and Transmission Dynamics of Newly Emerging Avian Influenza Viruses,” began in 2021 and costs $1 million.

While the Department of Agriculture project has been underway, Wenjun Liu was conducting research on the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) in 2022 with PLA scientists like Guangyu Zhao from the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in Beijing, China.

Incidentally, another participant in the above-mentioned PLA study on the COVID-19 virus was Penghua Wang, a Chinese scientist at the University of Connecticut, who is funded by Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Oddly, it appears that Penghua Wang has not yet reported his collaboration with the PLA to NIAID.

EU “Suicide Pact” Threatens To Flood Continent With 75 Million More Migrants    by Paul Joseph Watson

SATURDAY, FEB 17, 2024 – 07:00 AM – The EU has passed a migration pact dubbed “the suicide of Europe” which could lead to the continent being flooded with as many as 75 million new migrants.

The European Parliament’s LIBE committee passed the act on Wednesday, which formalizes the distribution of migrants to member states and punishes those that refuse to take them.

Because cultural enrichment and diversity is “our greatest strength,” countries that try to maintain their national identity without being subsumed by migrants will be hit with severe financial penalties.

Marine Le Pen, the leader of National Rally’s parliamentary wing, previously said the pact would lead to “the suicide of Europe,” adding that it was a deal with the devil and represents an “organized plan of submersion of Europe and the nations which compose it.”

WATCH: UN Kidnappers, Rapists, Murderers  (Video)   By Pamela Geller

February 17, 2024 – UNRWA is a Terrorist Organization

Our taxpayer dollars at work. Here is a video of an UNRWA employee kidnapping a Jew out of Israel on October 7.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is one of the most corrupt, sinister, and dishonest organizations of any kind operating anywhere in the world today, and finally the West appears to be waking to that: it has just lost over eighty percent of the funding it has received for its $1.1 billion budget in the wake of revelations that its employees have been actively aiding Hamas, or are even outright Hamas jihadis. Some short-sighted and vociferously antisemitic leftists, however, are determined to go down with the UNRWA ship: in an insane act of far-left tone-deafness and/or defiance, a Norwegian MP has just nominated the group for the Nobel Peace Prize. (more here)

Victims of October 7 demand declaration of UNRWA as terror group   By PressNewsAgency

February 13, 2024 – An initiative to declare UNRWA a terrorist group is being spearheaded by the Shurat HaDin Legislation Middle, representing dozens of October 7 bloodbath victims.

Shurat HaDin’s initiative is focused towards the Protection Ministry. The group argues that there’s a stable authorized foundation for such a designation. Their opinion, comprised of arguments that stretch over eight pages, was submitted to Protection Minister Yoav Gallant. Ought to Gallant settle for the proposal, he can train his authority to declare UNRWA a terrorist group however could be subjected to Shin Guess safety suggestion providers.

The President of the Legislation Middle, legal professional Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, commented, “Now it’s clear to everybody that UNRWA has opened its doorways to Hamas terrorists in an unprecedented manner. Within the guise of a humanitarian group that perpetuates a false and harmful historic narrative, they’ve themselves develop into a central headquarters of a terrorist group, a few of whose workers murdered harmless Jews with their very own palms.”

The present initiative is available in gentle of the IDF’s latest revelation of the Hamas command middle within the Hamas tunnels under UNRWA’s headquarters, which operates on behalf of the UN within the Gaza Strip.

Darshan-Leitner continued, “UNRWA is not a humanitarian company – its develop into a full-scale jihadi group. This gives all of the grounds and authorized proof for the Protection Minister to declare them a terrorist group. This designation is the need of the hour in an effort to forestall the subsequent victims of terrorist violence and expedite the collapse of Hamas rule within the Gaza Strip.”

SICK: Funeral of Transgender Activist and Atheist Prostitute Faces Backlash for Including Prayers for Sex Change and Celebrating ‘Whoredom’ at Catholic Cathedral in NYC   (VIDEO)  By Jim Hft

Feb. 17, 2024 1:40 pm – A funeral liturgy held on Thursday at St. Patrick’s Cathedral for Cecilia Gentili, a prominent “transgender activist and actress, former sex worker and self-professed atheist,” has ignited a firestorm of controversy.

The service, which took place in one of the most revered Catholic churches in the United States, has drawn intense criticism on social media.

The service, which took place in the hallowed halls of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan, has been criticized for the misuse of the iconic church, challenging Catholic teachings.

Gentili, an Argentinian transgender activist and self-proclaimed atheist, was a leading figure in efforts to decriminalize sex work in New York and championed the inclusion of “gender identity” as a protected classification under state human rights law, according to Post Millennial.

Gentili was also a significant fundraiser for transgender causes and had received a $540,000 grant from the Biden administration for transgender outreach related to HIV.

The funeral was organized by Ceyenne Doroshow, founder of Gays and Lesbians Living in a Transgender Society (GLITS), who saw St. Patrick’s Cathedral as a fitting venue for Gentili’s “iconic status.”

However, Doroshow admitted to the New York Times not disclosing Gentili’s transgender identity to the church officials, stating, “I kind of kept it under wraps.”

The funeral service itself included prayers for access to sex-change surgery. A particularly provocative farewell message described Gentili as “puta,” which means whore in English.

“This whore. This great whore. St. Cecilia, Mother of all Whores!” said one of the activists.

BREAKING REPORT: Truckers Plan to Stop Shipments to NYC in Response to Political Hack Judge Engoron’s $238 Million Ruling Against Trump and His Sons  (VIDEO)   By Patty Mcmurray

Feb. 17, 2024 5:20 pm – Truckers to the rescue—again.

Truckers bravely exposed some of the worst COVID shutdowns in the world when they parked their trucks in Ottowa to protest the iron-fisted approach used against citizens by the Justin Trudeau regime. Truckers in the US showed solidarity for their Canadian neighbors and helped block shipping between the US and Canada in Detroit, Michigan. Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who was being considered for Joe Biden’s VP, quickly threatened arrest for truckers who dared to block the Ambassador Bridge.

American truckers are now reportedly threatening to stop deliveries into New York City over the grotesque $364 million judgment against President Trump and his sons Don Jr. and Eric by partisan hack Judge Engoron on Friday.

Aside from first responders, is there another profession in the United States that proudly wears patriotism on its sleeves like the American trucker?

An American trucker who goes by “Chicago Ray” had this to say in a video he shared on social media, where he explained why truckers across America are planning to stop delivering to NYC.

“I’ve been on the radio talking to drivers for the last hour and fifteen minutes, and I’ve talked to at least ten drivers going the other way. I’m heading down from South Wisconsin. And they’re [other truckers] gonna start refusing loads to New York City, starting on Monday for NYC. I talked to about three guys that I work with who texted the boss and told him they’re not going to New York City.

I don’t know how far across the country this is or how many truckers are gonna start denying loads to go to New York City, but I’ll tell you what—you f**k around and find out!”

Okay? We’re tired of you motherf**kin’ leftists f**king around with Donald Trump.

You know, motherf**kers are starting to get tired of this shit—and our bosses don’t care if we’re denying the loads into New York; we’ll go somewhere else.”

I don’t wish nothin’ on nobody, but what I’m hearing—this is real!

Ya, know—we’ll see. Leave Trump the f**k alone with the bullshit! Alright? You know you ain’t got shit on Trump, so cut the bullshit! He’s gonna win this motherf**ker on appeal, but it’s still—you know how bullshit! It’s election interference.

I hate to say it, but Truckers are for Trump. We’re like 95% – 96% out here—-all Trump. Ain’t no motherf**kers for Biden!

“I’ll let ya know what else I hear by the time Monday rolls around,” he said, adding, “I’ll see ya down the road!”

Amazon Facing Massive Lawsuit: Prime Video Accused of Misleading Subscribers   By Bryan Chai  

February 17, 2024 at 12:44am – Remember when streaming was championed as a cheaper, ad-free alternative to traditional cable?

Those were the days.

Those days appear long gone… and Amazon Prime Video may be the first to pay the price for this at least based on a potential lawsuit that the tech titan could be facing.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, a proposed class action lawsuit against Amazon was filed on Feb. 9 in a California federal court.

The source of the grievance? Money and ads.

The lawsuit alleges that Amazon misled Prime subscribers by including an additional fee to watch movies and television shows on the service without ads.

The issue arose when Amazon made the controversial decision to flip all Prime subscribers to their ad-supported tier.

Before that change, which was implemented in 2023, Amazon’s 100 million-plus Prime subscriber base had default access to the ad-free tier of streaming.

Prime subscribers (for the unaware, that service tier was originally meant to expedite shipping before it began to include the video streaming) now have to pay an additional $2.99 per month to have ads removed.

 

Scheme Uncovered to Announce Palestinian ‘State’ RIGHT AWAY!   by Bob Unruh

But draws chorus of objections

Feb. 16, 2024 6:40 pm – A scheme has been uncovered that apparently would involve announcing – unilaterally – a Palestinian state right away, and it is drawing a chorus of objections.

The Algemeiner website reported the proposed plan, described by the Washington Post, calls for “the withdrawal of many, if not all, settler communities on the West Bank; a Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem; the reconstruction of Gaza; and security and governance arrangements for a combined West Bank and Gaza.”

Stunningly, the action could involve “early U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state – even as elements of political reform, security guarantees for both Israel and the Palestinians, normalization and reconstruction are being implemented.”

The discussion is stunning in that only in October, terrorists from Hamas, which works out of the Palestinian-controlled Gaza, invaded Israel and butchered some 1,200 civilians.

The scheme apparently is the work of the U.S. and several Arab states.

“In my speech yesterday in Berlin, I warned against the dangerous plan that is taking shape for unilateral international recognition of a Palestinian state,” said Gideon Sa’ar, an Israeli lawmaker who is not part of the government coalition.

“This plan will not only not resolve the conflict but will make it intractable. The Palestinians will receive state recognition without paying the the price of compromise and they will continue the conflict from an upgraded position that will harm Israel’s right to self-defense.”

Israel, according to reports, would be left out of the process entirely.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been opposed to such a move.

“1,400 murdered and the world wants to give them a state. It won’t happen,” National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on social media.

“The intention of the U.S., together with the Arab states, to establish a terror state alongside the state of Israel is delusional and part of the misguided conception that there is a partner for peace on the other side… While we are in the government, no Palestinian state will be established.”

The report said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also said, “We will in no way agree to this plan, which actually says that the Palestinians deserve a reward for the terrible massacre they did to us: a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. The message is that it pays very well to massacre Israeli citizens. A Palestinian state is an existential threat to the state of Israel as was proven on October 7, Kfar Saba will not be Kfar Aza!”

The news site also warned, the “overlooked ‘elephant in the room’: polls show that most of the Palestinian people don’t actually want a two state solution at all, on any terms, or in any borders.”

Hamas leaders have said it is unacceptable for them to be expected to recognize Israel in any form.

The report said “74.7% of Palestinians desire a Palestinian-only state that entirely supplants Israel, while 72% support the October 7 massacre, which, to be clear, included burning Israeli babies, beheading, mass rape, mass murder, and large scale kidnapping.”
