The astonishing crowds supporting President Trump could never be matched by the current occupant in the Oval Office. Yet that fraud, Joseph Biden, is once again not bothering to campaign. He's even promised to raise taxes on the middle class, without the slightest worry. Feeling confident behind the millions of illegals he's imported, plus the proven grift of mail-in ballot harvesting, Joseph Biden knows this upcoming "election" is a slam dunk. He has even promised to import Palestinian "refugees," if nothing more than just as a gleeful slap in the face to American citizens and our most trusted ally in the Middle East, Israel. His puppet masters will once again cheat, and lie, and engage in crooked lawfare without the slightest regard to the constitution, the laws of the land, or the will of the people. It worked in 2020, and they are going to keep on doing it.
Until we don't tolerate it any more.

“You Literally Voted for This” — Conservatives Roast Gun-Grabbing Liberal David Hogg After Complaining About Cost of Living Under Bidenomics
by Jim H?ft May. 14, 2024 7:30 am
Love these comments:
It didn’t take long for the conservative backlash to flood in. ‘Trump Meme Mastermind’ Brenden Dilley was among the first to respond, pointing out the contrast between the current administration and the previous one.
“Under Trump, you could have had 2.5% interest rate and been able to enter the market. Instead, you’re a pillow-biting commie who will stay a renter,” he fired back.
Political commentator Gunther Eagleman joined the chorus, advising Hogg to “stay in mommy’s basement, until Trump fixes Biden’s mess.” Another user, Travis, added, “You chose this over mean tweets. Selections have consequences.”
Illegal Immigration Overload: Border Town’s Criminal Prosecutions Explode by 5,000% on Biden’s Watch
John Binder13 May 2024
Kinney County, Texas, one of several American border communities, has seen criminal prosecutions explode as illegal immigration has hit record levels on President Joe Biden’s watch.
During a House Budget Committee hearing last week, Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith told lawmakers that in 2020, under former President Donald Trump, the county reported just 134 criminal charges for prosecution.
After Biden “issued multiple executive orders, revoking numerous border security policies,” Smith said criminal charges for prosecution skyrocketed in 2021 to nearly 3,000, roughly 6,800 in 2022, and more than 5,800 in 2023.
This indicates that from 2020 to 2022, Kinney County saw criminal charges for prosecution increase by almost 5,000 percent, and from 2020 to 2023, increase by more than 4,200 percent.
“Kinney County normally operates within a $6 million-dollar annual budget,” Smith told lawmakers:
However, the open border policies enacted by the Biden administration has required the county to significantly expand the capacities of our local criminal justice system, costing Texas taxpayers an additional 10.5 million dollars. [Emphasis added]
Public schools, first responder systems, and law enforcement agencies are suffering due to record illegal immigration under Biden, Smith said.
On two occasions, Smith told lawmakers, Kinney County residents needing emergency medical services died because such services were tending to migrant crossings.
“On both occasions, all available paramedics were already deployed to human smuggling events miles away and were unable to respond to the county residents,” Smith said. “This is a clear example of how open border policies have deadly consequences for Americans across this nation.”
Kinney County has a population of fewer than 3,200 residents. At the same time, the Del Rio Sector of the southern border, where Kinney County sits, has seen nearly 200,000 migrants cross in the region from October 2023 through March of this year.

Latest Polls Show Biden Will Need Twice As Many Fake Ballots To Win Election This Year
May 13, 2024 · BabylonBee.com
U.S. — As former President Donald Trump continued to build a sizeable lead in a majority of swing states, the latest polls suggest President Joe Biden would need twice as many fake ballots to win the election this year.
The startling poll results presented the Biden campaign with a sobering reminder that the standard number of fake ballots used in previous election years needed to be increased significantly for him to win again in November.
"We've got to double our target number of fake votes this year," said a Biden campaign insider under the condition of anonymity. "In previous years, we could just coast by with the standard quota of shenanigans, but this year, we've got to increase our production of hijinx and substantially raise the output of malarky."
The polls also led White House insiders to express concern that there may not even be enough dead people casting votes to overcome the deficit. "We need more dead voters," another insider said. "We've always done a good job of turning out the dead vote, but this year it will be even more crucial to get as many deceased people to the polls as possible."
Democrat ballot production centers across the country have reportedly already been notified to ramp up production to have any chance of meeting the demand in November.
At publishing time, the Biden campaign was rumored to be in negotiations with foreign countries for permission to use large quantities of the dead voters they use to rig their elections.

Exploding Power Demands Are the Energy Transition Death Knell
David Blackmon
May 14, 2024
Concerns are growing among energy analysts, executives, and media outlets covering the energy space about the feasibility of the Biden administration’s efforts to subsidize an energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables into reality. Big power demands to supply electric vehicle (EV) recharging, Bitcoin?? mining operations, and renewable industrial growth needs were already straining the capacities of America’s regional power grids. But now, the explosive growth of AI and its insatiable thirst for electricity threatens to overwhelm them.
These factors put at risk the central planning conceit that the government can overrule market forces through a combination of heavy debt-funded subsidies for renewables and electric cars combined with a withering flood of regulations designed to limit the energy choices of manufacturers and consumers. Despite the federal, state, and local governments having poured hundreds of billions of subsidy dollars into renewables and EVs over the past quarter century, the growth pace of those alternatives has never managed to even account for incremental increases in demand.
The advent of new technologies like AI and the power demands of their own industries now threaten to not just overwhelm renewables growth, but also render Biden administration efforts to force more coal and natural gas power plants into retirement via costly new regulations completely unworkable. Grid managers and state regulators are already working to extend permits to extend the lives of these reliable baseload plants to accommodate the growth of AI-related data centers in their jurisdictions.
Officials at Dominion Energy? informed investors in their quarterly earnings announcement that both the number and the size of new data centers are rapidly expanding. Dominion pointed out that it has entered into power supply agreements for 84 data centers comprising 4 GW of power needs since 2019. But this year, the company is working to meet the needs of 15 new data centers in Northern Virginia alone whose power demands will equal or exceed that level of capacity.
Baltimore-based Constellation energy says it is planning to build modular nuclear units at some of its existing plant locations in its efforts to meet soaring demand driven by new data centers. As quoted by Reuters, Constellation CEO Joseph Dominguez told investors during the company’s Q1 earnings call that, "We're seeing interest in developing projects that are on a size and scale that presently don't exist."
On its earnings call, American Electric Power (AEP) interim CEO Ben Fowkes said his company is developing plans to meet at least 15 GW of additional power demands by 2030, driven largely by new data centers. “I see the need to increase capital spend in the future, including incremental investment related to commercial load growth from data centers and resiliency spend,” Fowkes said.
In a December, 2023 report, the firm Grid Strategies estimated that demand will grow by 4.7% annually over the next 5 years, as reflected by FERC filings. But, the report warns, while “Grid planners forecast peak demand growth of 38 gigawatts (GW) through 2028…This is likely an underestimate…Next year’s forecast is likely to show an even higher nationwide growth rate.”
Grid Strategies also warns that, “The U.S. electric grid is not prepared for significant load growth, noting that “The U.S. installed 1,700 miles of new high-voltage transmission miles per year on average in the first half of the 2010s but dropped to only 645 miles per year on average in the second half of the 2010s.” Grid Strategies joins many others in pointing to archaic and overly-complex permitting requirements as a major inhibitor to growth.
What it all means is that, rather than being embarked on a government-forced march to replace one form of power generation (fossil fuels) with other forms preferred by the government (wind and solar), grid managers will need more of all forms of generation just to keep pace with skyrocketing demand which, as Grid Strategies says, is most likely being underestimated by current reports.
I have been fortunate to conduct a series of interviews over the past two years with Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman at S&P Global and best-selling author of “The New Map.” Across those two years, Yergin has consistently voiced his view that the world is not currently engaged in any real sort of an “energy transition.” He contends that instead, a massive exercise in energy innovation and energy addition is taking place, views he re-emphasized in our most recent discussion in March.
Even as Yergin’s views are proving prescient, the Biden energy and climate policies increasingly look to be coming down on the wrong side of history and America’s real energy needs. Market demands are dictating that a major re-thinking of these policies is in order; unfortunately, no one in the Biden administration seems to be paying attention. This is a recipe for a real energy crisis, probably sooner than anyone expects.

US Army Intel Staffer Quits, 'Haunted' by Biden’s Gaza Policy
3 hours ago
Svetlana Ekimenko
Major Harrison Mann's resignation is not the first departure of a US official in protest against the Biden administration’s Gaza policy. Two State Department officials similarly quit earlier, lambasting Washington for continuing to “send a steady stream of weapons to Israel” amid the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Another US official has resigned, unable to reconcile himself with the “nearly unqualified support” that the US has provided to Israel amid its war on Hamas.
Major Harrison Mann posted a resignation letter on the professional networking site LinkedIn on Monday, revealing the reasons behind his decision to quit the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) back in November, 2023.
The ex-official wrote that Washington’s policy on Gaza had “enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians [in Gaza]."
“At some point…you’re either advancing a policy that enables [the] mass starvation of children, or you’re not,” he wrote. “I know that I did, in my small way, wittingly advance that policy,” he wrote.

Mann, who had served as an executive officer at the DIA’s Middle East and Africa Center, referenced his own European Jewish ancestry, and claimed he had been “haunted” by the “unforgiving moral environment when it came to the topic of bearing responsibility for ethnic cleansing.”
“The past months have presented us with the most horrific and heartbreaking images imaginable…and I have been unable to ignore the connection between those images and my duties here. This caused me incredible shame and guilt,” he wrote.
According to Mann, few of his former colleagues had spoken out about the developments in Gaza. He noted that that “I now realize the obvious - if I was afraid to voice my concerns, you were too.”
The overall number of fatalities tallied by the Gaza Strip' Ministry of Health is currently at more than 35,000 since the war broke out between Israel and Hamas on October 7. Furthermore, at least 370,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah ahead of Israel’s promised ground operation and continued bombardment of the last remaining refuge in Gaza.
Mann filed the resignation on November 1, 2023. The departure takes effect on June 3, as per US media reports.

State Department Official Resigns Over Biden’s Gaza Policy
29 March, 07:43 GMT
Mann’s departure is hardly the first. In March, Annelle Sheline resigned from her job as a foreign affairs officer in the US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, saying her job had become “impossible” as the Biden administration continues to “send a steady stream of weapons to Israel.” Sheline said in an interview that she had tried to raise concerns internally with dissent cables and at staff forums, but came to the conclusion that the Biden administration’s Israel policy made her efforts pointless.
“Whatever credibility the United States had as an advocate for human rights has almost entirely vanished since the war began. Members of civil society have refused to respond to my efforts to contact them,” Sheline wrote in an open letter.
Earlier, Josh Paul, who was a senior State Department official involved in arms transfers to foreign governments, resigned from his role 10 days after Hamas first launched its attack on Israel.
“I believe to the core of my soul that the response Israel is taking, and with it the American support for both that response, and for the status quo of the occupation will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and Palestinian people—and is not in the long-term American interest,” Paul wrote at the time.
Despite instances of dissent among its own government employees and protests by US citizens, the Biden administration has persisted in supporting Israel in its war against Hamas, paying no more than lip service to the Palestinians' plight.

CORAL GABLES, FL—Governor Ron DeSantis signed a sweeping human trafficking bill requiring special hotline numbers to be posted at various businesses and raising the stripper age from 18 to 21.
"Human trafficking is a really serious scourge in our society," DeSantis said at a Monday afternoon press conference. He cited several statistics, explaining that since 2019, 50,000 reports a year have been made using the national human trafficking hotline and the average age for human trafficking victims is just 13—80 percent of whom are girls.
80 percent of the girls who are trafficked are sexually exploited.

Monster Mash-up
“My take is that the US is incredibly unstable right now, and could go in almost any imaginable direction between now and the election, as well as some unimaginable ones.” —John Michael Greer
Did you notice that it took just a little bit of internal chaos to alert the Party of Chaos that maybe chaos wasn’t the greatest thing to be the party of? Something went awry the past two weeks when thousands of creamy coeds on every campus across America donned the keffiyeh and, in effect, demanded submission to history’s most notorious misogynist cult. It struck a most cacophonous chord among progressives, like Kumbaya as orchestrated by Karlheinz Stockhausen. To awaken from Wokery, you see, is a brutal shock to the brain.
And so, over the weekend every big dog in the Democratic Party’s doghouse came out barking against the current direction of the Democratic Party — that is, over an electoral cliff, lemming-style. Bill Clinton lamented at the Milken Conference that “the political rewards of grievance politics and name-calling and being negative have been so immense that nobody could give’em up. That’s what this whole shebang has come down to now.”
James Carville had a veritable nervous breakdown on X: “It’s going the wrong way, it’s not working. Everything we’re throwing is spaghetti at a wall, and none of it is sticking, me included.” Fareed Zakaria over on CNN confessed that “None of this is playing out the way I thought it would.” Gee, really?
None of them could bring themselves to actually name the doddering donkey in the room, “Joe Biden.” Nor did they dare call out the stage manager behind the old Joe-from-Scranton show, Barack Obama, not exactly coasting into his fourth term, as expected. They’re all surprised the way things are turning out. And, of course, “JB” himself did not come out of his Rehoboth Beach hidey-hole after declaring no more bullets and missiles for you, Israel, which landed amongst the Party’s donor class like a tear-gas bomb.
Hillary Clinton popped up on the Morning Joe show wearing royal purple to remind the audience that Donald Trump is another Hitler, threatening “the sanctity of the Constitution” and adding “maybe this will be our last election.” If she’s putting herself up as possible last-minute replacement for the ever more ghostly “Joe Biden,” she was not so crass as to say so. The party will have to come pleading to her on its knees, hoping she can once again muster the legions of indignant women to oppose the wicked Golden Golem of Greatness — who was, that very day, on display in a Manhattan courtroom having to endure the jibes of the paradigmatic wronged woman, porn-star Stormy Daniels.
What else have they got, really? Gavin Newsom? If Mr. Trump is Hitler, then think of Mr. Newsom as Godzilla with hair gel. Imagine what he could do to the whole USA after trashing California, as he has managed to do. Sorry to tell you, but in an election contest between Hitler and Godzilla, Hitler would probably win. It’s a rock-paper-scissors deal. Any other ringers they might throw in? The only name that ever comes up is Illinois governor JB Pritzker, who actually looks a bit like King Kong, and has certainly done a Kong-job on Chicago. And, by the way, that’s where the Democrats’ convention will happen in August. Wouldn’t it be something to see King Kong versus Godzilla there?
All of which is to say that something beyond desperation has set in amongst the Democrats, an emotion so dire that Elizabeth Kubler Ross couldn’t find a word for it on her transect of grief. They don’t know what to do at this point. They have only a few months to figure it out and there is more at stake than a mere turnover in administrative duties. The shadow of the gibbet looms in their nightmares. Their lawfare schtick was one thing, a kind of fun-and-games compared to what’s coming at them: the actual law, trials for more serious crimes than mere book-keeping errors and mis-pricing real estate valuations. Think: sedition, treason, bribery and tack on conspiracy to commit all the above.
Meanwhile, Mr. Trump provided a further shock to the awakening Woke with a Saturday evening fan meetup down-the-shore in Wildwood, New Jersey. Somewhere between eighty to a hundred-thousand voters showed up in what is said to be among the bluest states in the country. Bruce Springsteen must have been weeping into his avocado toast over in Red Bank. Then, across the Sunday morning news digests there was talk about “a landslide win,” and even more amazed chatter about RINOs and Never-Trumpers returning to the folds of the Golden Golem’s heavenly garment, as though Mr. Trump had virtually Jeezified himself through a year of tribulation.
Will the Democrats just go through the motions the next six months, awaiting execution? Naw. One way or another, they are going to jam Hillary into this psychodrama. Stay tuned for a couple of medical emergencies. First, Kamala Harris will resign on account of a sudden “health problem” that prevents her from attending to her duties. Cancer will be implied but not spelled out. “Joe Biden” will appoint HRC of the Purple Pantsuit as veep. Three weeks later, “JB” will submit his resignation for medical reasons, and nobody will need to ask why. Voila! The first woman president, she-whose-turn-has-finally-come, flies triumphantly out of the Democratic Convention in her hometown, Chicago, like Rodan the Flying Reptile emerging from the mythic volcano, cawing her battle-cry across the land. The Golden Golem answers with a roar. The great re-match is on!

Nolte: Democrat-Run California About to Get Hit with 50 Cent per Gallon Gas Tax
JOHN NOLTE 13 May 2024 4:02
In today’s edition of Getting What You Vote For, the dummies in California are about to get hit with a 50 cent per gallon gas tax.
Remember, California voters have handed the Democrat party full power over the former Golden State. Democrats run everything from the governorship on down. Democrats not only hold majorities in the state legislature, they hold veto-proof majorities. In other words…
Republicans are powerless in California. And so…
According to Triple-A, the average cost of a gallon of gas in California today is $5.29. That’s nearly $1.70 more than the national average. In some parts of California, gas costs $6.32 per gallon. The lowest cost for a gallon of gas in that Democrat-run shithole is $5.02.
Now add 50 cents to those prices.
Tee hee.
Fox Business reports:
In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in clean air efforts. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state.
...
The report foresees gasoline price increases due to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard reforms that were created in 2007, likely rising by 47 cents next year and 52 cents by 2026. Diesel prices could climb by 59 cents this year and 66 cents in two years. Long-term projections suggest gasoline could surge by $1.15 and diesel by $1.50 per gallon from 2031 to 2046, with jet fuel increasing by $1.21.
After nine years, my wife and I fled Los Angeles in 2011 because the writing was all over the wall. Democrats were winning all the elections, housing costs were exploding, and I was about to get taxed for using plastic grocery bags instead of those filthy reusable ones. You could already feel the noose tightening 12 years ago, so my pretty wife and I moved back to the South. Boy, are we glad we did. California’s excuse for the grocery bag tax, like this upcoming gas tax, is “protecting the environment,” but that’s just an excuse to institute authoritarianism.
Since 2011, Democrats in California have consolidated their power even more by chasing away Normal People like myself. There are basically three classes of people in the most populous parts of that state now: the wealthy, the poor, and illegal aliens.
Vast portions of California are still glorious (except for the cost of living). But in the population centers that decide the state elections, Democrats have deliberately chased off a lot of the middle class and replaced them with illegal aliens. This 1) ensures Democrats a permanent governing majority in the state, and 2) ensures they do not lose federal congressional power or presidential electoral votes because the United States Census counts illegal aliens.
Thank heaven for our federalist system. In France and Germany and Sweden, there’s no escape. You can’t flee a “California” in Europe. But here in the States, we can flee to saner pastures. Eventually, Democrats will cheat enough to win the presidency enough to stack the Supreme Court with fascists who will kill the rights of the states to govern themselves (along with the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments), but that’s going to take a generation or two.
In the meantime, we have Wyoming.

Man gets realistic picture of his boat painted on fence designed to hide it
ACalifornia man who was ordered to keep his boat out of sight has had the last laugh, by commissioning an artist to paint a realistic image of it on the fence that obscures it.
Etienne Constable, from Seaside, California, was told in July last year by local government officials that he had to build a 6-foot fence to hide the boat from view of his neighbors.
But in a light-hearted jibe at officialdom, Constable decided to follow the directive, which said nothing about how the fence should be decorated, and asked local artist Hanif Panni to create a mural that makes it look as if the fence isn't there.
"I’m not a rule-breaker but I like to make a political statement as necessary as well as a humorous statement and a creative statement," he told NBC affiliate KSBW of Monterey Bay.

“The Deep State Party will put up ‘Republican Candidates’ that ARE NOT MAGA PEOPLE, and we want MAGA, NOT Republicans so you can’t vote a straight Republican ticket. You are going to have to know which candidates are MAGA to make your vote count, it’s as simple as that.”
“So, know your candidates, right?”
“You have to know who you’re voting for, or should I say you have to know what you’re voting for: the Deep State or the Constitution (MAGA).”
