TRAGEDY: AOC Announces She Was Killed During NYPD Raid At Columbia And Is Dead Again
NEW YORK — Congressional Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was tragically killed Tuesday night during a police raid at Columbia University in which hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested.
"They came at me with tear gas and racism," Ocasio-Cortez told reporters. "I am now literally dead."
According to sources, Ocasio-Cortez was in Washington, D.C. at the time.
"They kept shouting, 'Where is she!? Where is she!? I need to kill her with guns!'" she continued. "I hid under a table, but wood can't protect you from the Jew police state."
Experts confirm that if Israel were not trying to defend itself from attacks from Hamas, protestors would never have taken over Columbia University, the police would never have raided the campus, and Ocasio-Cortez would still be alive. The New York representative is now reportedly seeing a psychotherapist to help her cope with her own death.
Ocasio-Cortez is survived by her fiancé Riley Roberts and a French bulldog named Deco.

New Study Finds Most Effective Treatment For Depression Watching Scrawny Libs Get Absolutely Manhandled By Police
U.S. — Advancements in ways to counter anxiety about the state of the country had experts encouraged, as a new study found the most effective treatment for depression to be watching scrawny libs getting absolutely manhandled by police.
The study, conducted over the past week by a conglomerate of socio-scientific experts, showed that seeing video footage of weak soy-boys and purple-hairs being tossed around haphazardly like sacks of old potatoes had a significantly positive impact on viewers who suffered from depressive thoughts.
"It's a remarkable breakthrough for anyone feeling down," said Dr. Blake Rumsey of the Center for Acquiring Knowledge. "We put the theory to the test with a group of people who were gravely concerned about the current state of affairs around the world. As soon as they spent some time watching law enforcement yeeting some noodle-armed college students around the quad, the test subjects felt much better."
One test subject, who asked to remain anonymous, testified to the treatment's efficacy. "It's true, I feel so much happier now," he said. "I had been feeling pretty depressed lately with all the unrest and protests and conflict everywhere you look. But as soon as I saw a police officer completely break some whiny co-ed in half with a textbook shoulder tackle, those sad feelings went away."
At publishing time, researchers were eager to test their theory further as universities across the country brought in law enforcement to deal with spoiled, unruly college liberals who were causing trouble on campuses.

The Market Does Not Care About Joe Biden's Green Dreams
David Blackmon
May 04, 2024
For two years now, I and others have been pointing out the reality that there is no real “energy transition” happening around the world. Two new items of information came to light this week that irrevocably prove the point.
It is true that governments across the western world appear to be working to bankrupt their countries by pouring trillions of debt-funded dollars, Euros and British pounds into central planning efforts to subsidize renewables and electric vehicles into existence. That reality cannot be denied. The trouble is that no amount of debt money can turn the markets and the markets aren’t cooperating.
Despite all the government largesse that has spurred major additions of wind and solar generation capacity, those weather-reliant energy sources can’t even keep up with the pace of rising demand for electricity. As a result, the markets dictated that the world consumed record levels of coal, natural gas, oil and even wood during 2023. Yes, we are still burning vast amounts of wood for electricity, despite an alleged “transition” from wood to coal which began 500 years ago.
That is reality, dictated by the markets.
Two new bits of data came to light this week that pound the final nails into the coffin of the narrative around the energy transition. A report in the Financial Times, citing data compiled by Grid Strategies, reveals that the buildout of new high-voltage transmission lines in the United States slowed to a trickle in 2023, with just 55.5 additional miles installed. That collapse comes despite the Biden government’s recognition that a massive expansion of this type of transmission lines must happen to accommodate the demands of any true “transition” to renewables.
The Financial Times quotes a 2023 assessment by the Department of Energy that found that “regional transmission must more than double and interregional transmission must grow more than fivefold by 2035 to meet decarbonization targets.” DOE admits such a pace would add more than 50,000 miles of new transmission in just 11 years, which is almost 1,000 times the pace of adds during 2023. Yikes.
A crucial aspect of that DOE study to understand is that it was conducted before we began to understand the true magnitude of additional power demands that will result from the explosive growth of AI technology just now starting to come to full bloom. It was just this past January, at the WEF Forum in Davos, where OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told the audience he believes generation capacity on the grid will have to double over the next decade just to fill the AI demands alone. That is what is needed in addition to the rising demands for EV charging, industrial growth, population growth and economic growth.
The second piece of compelling data arising this week comes from a Bloomberg story headlined, “Data Centers Now Need a Reactor’s Worth of Power, Dominion Says.” The key thing to understand about this story is that the piece is only referencing the needs of planned new data centers being built in Northern Virginia to feed AI development in that tiny sliver of the United States.
This key excerpt from the story says it all: “Over the past five years, Dominion has connected 94 data centers that, together, consume about four gigawatts of electricity, Blue said. That means that just two or three of the data center campuses now being planned could require as much electricity as all the centers Dominion hooked up since about 2019.”
That is not just rapid growth, it is exponential growth in power demand from a single developing technology.
Demand growth needs such as this aren’t going to be filled by unpredictable, unreliable, weather-dependent generation like windmills and solar arrays. And let’s face it: The United States is not going to be able to continue expanding renewables without finding some way to create a massive expansion of transmission. Why build the generation if you can’t move the electricity?
What it all means is that all the grand Biden Green New Deal plans to shut down America’s remaining coal fleet and much of its natural gas generation fleet are going to have to wait, because the market will not allow them. That’s reality, and reality does not care about anyone’s green transition dreams.
That is all.

Nancy Pelosi Has Meltdown on Live TV – She Goes Nuts After Her Big Lie Gets Exposed
May 4, 2024 Eric Beaton
Despite all common sense and logic, people are still talking to Nancy Pelosi. The woman stepped down from House leadership after losing the majority in 2022. She has stayed out of the limelight for most of the time since.
But with an election coming up, it is likely this dyed-in-the-wool Democrat is trying to must up support for Biden.
She appeared on an MSNBC show to speak with host Katy Tur. The former Speaker spouted the typical talking points about Biden, which amount to a deceptive spinning of Joe’s failed agenda. But, the entrenched liberal showed, once again, that she is not over her seething hatred for Donald Trump.
From Daily Caller:
Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi on Monday appeared to lose her temper when MSNBC host Katy Tur brought up how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the economy under former President Donald Trump…
“And Joe Biden is doing that, created 9 million jobs in his term in office,” Pelosi said. “Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of any president, so we just have to make sure people know.”
“That was a global pandemic,” Tur responded…
“He had the worst record of any president,” Pelosi said, raising her voice. “We’ve had other concerns in our country. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain’t mine.”
Nancy Pelosi pulled out the claim that Joe Biden added “9 million” jobs as president. She then claimed Donald Trump had “the worst record of job loss” of any president. This is a gross distortion of facts. Even Katy Tur knew that.
The COVID pandemic, a global crisis that hit every nation, was why job losses were so stark during Trump’s final year in office. Yet his economy was quickly rebounding by the end of 2020, thanks to his aggressive pro-business policies.
Meanwhile, Biden did nothing to add “9 million” jobs to the economy. Early in 2021, many states started to reopen after the lockdowns. That meant people who were out of work for months returned to their jobs. That “9 million” was due to that, not anything Biden did. In fact, Biden’s “stimulus” bill from early 2021 hampered job growth, as it encouraged people not to go back to work.
But when Pelosi was confronted with these obvious facts, she lashed out at the host. Tur reminded Pelosi that the pandemic was largely responsible for the “facts” she was spouting. That is when Pelosi accused Tur of being a “Trump apologist.”
That is how far-gone many Democrats have become. To actually quote real facts and numbers makes you a “Trump apologist.” Which seems to suggest, from Pelosi’s own claims, that to oppose Trump you have to ignore reality.
Pelosi has long shown shocking contempt for the former president. She is the poster child of what people call “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It seems that her hatred and fear of Trump hasn’t gotten any better in the years since he left office. In fact, it might have gotten worse.
Key Takeaways:
Nancy Pelosi criticized a liberal news host over economic facts.
Pelosi falsely claimed Biden added “9 million” jobs, accusing Trump of having the “worst” jobs loss.
The host explained those numbers were due to a “global pandemic,” not Trump’s policies.
Pelosi lashed out, calling the interviewer a “Trump apologist.”

Disgraced Former CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo, Who Advocated for the COVID Vaccine, Publicly Admits for the First Time to Suffering from a COVID Vaccine Injury (VIDEO)
by Jim H?ft May. 4, 2024 1:40 pm
Disgraced former CNN anchor and vaccine pusher Chris Cuomo disclosed for the first time that he has been suffering from side effects he attributes to the COVID-19 vaccine.
This admission came during an in-depth interview with nurse practitioner Sean Barcavage, who was also featured in a New York Times article discussing similar vaccine-related injuries.
Barcavage shared his alarming experience with vaccine side effects that began just minutes after receiving his first dose in 2020. Symptoms included heart palpitations upon standing, numbness, and persistent tingling that quickly spread from his arm to his face and eyes, which got worse after his second dose.
“We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, a.k.a. side effects… But nobody’s really talking about it because they’re too afraid of blame, and they just want it to go away,” Cuomo said.
“But the problem is people like Sean and me and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives and their feelings physically are not going away,” Cuomo added.
“As soon as I was injured—15, 20 minutes into my first dose—I experienced numbness and tingling up and down my injected arm, which spread over the day to my face and my eyes. I consulted a neurologist who ran some tests and remarked, ‘Well, this is all new. We don’t know much about it, but the hospital is going to mandate it. You should get a second dose.’ Everything in my medical mind and in my bones was telling me, ‘No, if you have a reaction to something, don’t do it again,'” Barcavage said.
“However, the pressure was immense. Then, three weeks later, I received a second dose, and after that, everything blew up. I went from being a healthy, 100% healthy, fully functioning nurse to a complete downward spiral of health. I developed a myriad of symptoms,” he added.
Barcavage expressed his disappointment with the lack of support from various health agencies and from vaccine manufacturers.
“I thought there would be people ready to help me after my injury,” he explained. “I reached out to political representatives, the NIH, the CDC, the FDA, but I received no answers. No one wanted to touch it.”
With medical professionals in the U.S. offering no assistance, Barcavage took his quest international, sending blood samples to Germany, where he found scientists willing to aid his investigation.
“I sent blood samples to Germany and connected with German scientists who were more willing to help than those in my own country. The tests showed I had developed several autoantibodies, some of which scientists believe are related to this positional tachycardia you mentioned, where my heart rate spikes every time I stand up.”
“My autoantibodies resemble those seen in people with long COVID, although I never contracted the virus. This was confirmed through immunological studies of my blood. They found no viral antibodies,” Barcavage said.
Barcavage expressed his expectation of support from his pro-vaccine colleagues, who he believed would assist him in his time of need. Instead, he encountered a starkly different reality.
“I thought my pro-vaccine colleagues who championed me would lift me up and help me. Instead, they turned around, dismissed, denied, and tried to censor and bury me,” Barcavage said.
His situation, he argues, is exacerbated by the political implications of vaccine side effects. “They’re afraid that by showing my face, I’ll drive vaccine hesitancy. But what they don’t realize, and what I have come to realize, is that the censorship and concealment are actually fueling vaccine hesitancy,” he added.
Barcavage critiqued the Biden regime’s handling of vaccine reactions, suggesting that a more transparent approach acknowledging the novel nature of vaccines and setting up dedicated support programs could have fostered public trust.
“If the government had just said, ‘Hey, these are novel vaccines. There will be reactions. Let’s set up a program to handle them, establish a fund, and oblige the manufacturers to provide help or research,’ I think the citizens would have appreciated that.”
Barcavage, along with many Americans, experienced censorship on major social platforms, where his posts were often tagged as misinformation. “When I tried to reach out online, platforms like Facebook and Instagram would tag my messages as misinformation. Yes, that’s right. I’m just a desperate person to whom something bad happened, and I’m reaching out and pleading for help,” he said.
Cuomo, who was part of the censorship regime, admitted to Barcavage that he also suffering from side effects he attributes to the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Sean, I can’t help you because I’m no clinician. I’m sick myself. But I’m working with people who are working on this, so I’ll make sure that we’re in touch right after the show, and I’ll help any way I can. You may be ahead of me. I’ll connect you with my clinicians, and maybe you can share different protocols and things that may help. But I will never stop reporting on this. All I’m doing is just beating the drum for a 9/11-style commission to figure out what worked and what didn’t and what questions need to be answered because it’s not over,” Cuomo said.

The irony and karma here are incredible. The New York Times and Chris Cuomo, who finds himself among those affected, are now acknowledging and reporting issues many have voiced concerns about for the past three years.
It can be recalled Chris Cuomo mocked and insulted anyone who refused to take the experimental vaccine.
In 2021, Chris Cuomo and Republican Texas state Rep. Michael Burgess engaged in a heated debate over the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy that is prevalent among some members of the GOP and conservative media.
“You’re OK with this kind of jackassery that has absolutely led to a deficiency among Republican people in this country taking the vaccine, and now they’re getting sick? And now we’re seeing what we see at the hospitals. And now the age is reducing and the variant is spreading. You’re OK with this?” Cuomo asked.
“The people showing up at the hospital who are very sick are, almost without exception, unvaccinated. The people who are dying, 99 percent, are unvaccinated. You have people who are connected to your political party that you are not speaking out against who are telling people not to take it. You’re OK with that?” he added.
Burgess responded, “Don’t listen to people on political talking shows. That’s not where you should get your medical information.” When Cuomo queried about the stance of GOP members of Congress who discourage vaccination, Burgess firmly stated, “I’m telling you to take it, so buy that. What about people who say otherwise? Well, they’re wrong. Take the vaccine if you’re in the age group where you could be devastated by the illness.”

START THE COURT MARTIAL PROCEEDINGS: DC National Guard Whistleblower Alleges Trump’s Commander-in-Chief Powers Were Revoked by Military Brass During January 6 Capitol Riot
by Jim H?ft May. 4, 2024 8:00 am
in April the House Subcommittee on Oversight held a hearing with National Guard whistleblowers who stepped forward to correct the media lies and dishonest narrative by Democrats on the January 6 protests and riots.
Four members of the National Guard testified that they were ready to be deployed on January 6 but THE PENTAGON held them back!
This directly brings General Milley’s actions into question!
Kash Patel tipped us off last month that there were more reports like this coming.
National Guard whistleblowers: Command Sgt. Major Michael E. Brooks, Colonel Earl G. Matthews, Aaron Dean Retired, and Captain Timothy Nick stepped forward and testified before Congress to correct the record on January 6.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were both warned about the security situation prior to January 6th, and both turned down National Guard troops at the US Capitol that day.
Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser turned down thousands of National Guard troops at the Capitol on January 6 for political reasons.
Chris Wray’s FBI also refused to notify the Trump administration and his cabinet secretaries that they believed there could be violence like the mass protests at the Capitol that took place that day.
Nancy Pelosi also refused the National Guard at the US Capitol due to politics.
Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund said he asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup. But they both turned him down.
John Solomon from Just The News released an explosive report in 2022 that revealed Capitol Police were first warned about possible violence at the January 6th protests TWO WEEKS before the planned rallies.
Pelosi, Mayor Bowser, and other government officials turned down the National Guard anyway. It is clear they were counting on an “insurrection” to blame on President Trump when they were the ones who allowed the violence to occur and continue that day!
But now there is more disturbing news on the military leadership on January 6th.
Colonel Earl Matthews testifies before Congress that Nancy Pelosi and Military Brass refused to send in National Guard troops on January 6. This was after President Trump called for National Guard backup that day.
According to Colonel Earl Matthews, who testified before Congress in April, US military leaders revoked President Trump’s Commander-in-Chief powers that day and refused to move in the National Guard – because it might look bad.
These military leaders should have been arrested and court martialed.
The Daily Mail reported:
Donald Trump’s authority as commander-in-chief was ignored by senior military leadership on January 6, 2021, claims the chief legal advisor for D.C. National Guard on that day.
Colonel Earl Matthews came forward as a whistleblower to the House subcommittee reviewing the January 6 Select Committee’s investigation.
He sat down with DailyMail.com two weeks after the public hearing to explain what he saw happen that day.
He claims that Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, were plotting to disobey any orders handed down by Trump because they ‘unreasonably’ assumed the then-president was going to break the law and try to use the D.C. National Guard (DCNG) to stop certification of the 2020 presidential election results.
A lot has been made about the breakdown in military and administration communication when it came to the timeline of deploying DCNG to the Capitol.
But Matthews claims senior military leadership was solely focused on getting the heat off of them and putting it back onto Trump.
The Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, Matthews claims, was more than happy to lean into this narrative and blame the entire ordeal on the then-president.
But Matthews says that senior military leadership essentially stripped the president of his authority as commander-in-chief by preemptively planning to go against orders because they didn’t like the optics of uniformed soldiers at the Capitol.
‘I think a very plausible argument can be made that through no fault of his own, President Trump’s command authority over both the D.C. National Guard and the U.S. Army itself had been surreptitiously curtailed by the senior leadership of the Army on January 6, 2021,’ Matthews told DailyMail.com.
He continued: ‘Army leadership had unreasonably anticipated an ‘unlawful order’ from the President, an order that the President had no plans to issue, and were preemptively seeking to curtail his discretion to issue such an order.’

The leftist credentials of a Seattle judge who gave a pass to illegal acts
By Andrea Widburg
In a Seattle courtroom, a judge dismissed criminal trespass charges against three people who helped shut down I-5 for hours on January 6, 2024. Her ruling was made on specious legal grounds and reflects leftist judicial activism writ large.
The facts aren’t complicated. On January 6, 2024, a huge number of pro-Hamas protesters blocked I-5 in Seattle. Clearly acting on the orders of local elected officials, the state troopers did nothing to clear this conduct, which is illegal on its face as well as being an act of domestic terrorism. Instead, they just waited it out.
After the fact, law enforcement officers combed through social media posts about the event to identify participants. Eventually, they filed criminal trespass and disorderly conduct charges against six of the participants. Nevertheless, attorneys for the I-5 Six argued at the defendants’ arraignment (the formal charging proceeding) that using social media was an improper form of suspect identification for three of the six named defendants.
This is nonsense. If the photos from an event in a public place show that these defendants were among engaged in illegal acts, that’s sufficient for the charges against them. Judge Andrea Jarmon, however, accepted the defense argument and dismissed the criminal trespass charges. (The prosecution has not dropped the charges.)
Let’s talk about Judge Jarmon, the living embodiment of a leftist judge:
This is Judge Andrea Jarmon in Seattle.
She just dismissed ALL criminal trespass charges against half of the pro-Palestine activists who blocked the I-5 for 4 hours.
Jarmon sided with the defense attorneys, suggesting it was wrong of state patrol to recognize the suspects from… pic.twitter.com/ozfOmdANom
— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) May 2, 2024
Let me emphasize that Jarmon’s Muslim faith is only part of the whole leftist intersectional package that sees her view the law as a tool for her values, values apparent in her LinkedIn blog, where she offers a series of “Hijabi Speaks From The Bench” insights.
The posts reveal a few things: Most obviously, despite a dual major from the University of Washington that includes English Language and Literature (the other is Women’s Studies), as well as a UW law degree, Jarmon is barely literate: “For example, the question could be posed as how does my experiences as a former victim of violence impact my judicial philosophy or as a former homeless youth.” Or take this: “I have to wonder of what those words were such...”
Jarmon is also all-in on intersectionality and victimization, describing herself this way:
I am Muslim. I am African American. I am a cisgender female. I am a single parent. I am a divorcee. I was raised by a Catholic white woman. I have 7 children and I have embraced my Roe v. Wade rights without shame. I am a proud ally of the LGBTQ community. I speak with a speech impediment. I am a former homeless youth and a survivor of child abuse and domestic violence. I was sheltered from the streets by United Indians' Labateyah. Every day, at least one of these identities or associations are under attack.
In a loving remembrance of the woman who was Jarmon’s mentor, Jarmon boasts that, once on the bench, she blocked “archaic language” and was “issuing rulings that appropriately address the harm of obvious racial bias and violence...” She adds that her deceased mentor “would get a hearty laughter [sic] at the thought of my infraction dispositions being considered so ‘unusual’ that some of my colleagues are unable to hear the reviews.” Wow!
Jarmon includes a link to a telling video showing her swearing-in ceremony, which was all female except for the imam. The Koran and the Constitution are diametrically opposed, matter and anti-matter. You cannot swear to support both simultaneously.
Like all good leftists, Jarmon is deeply invested in so-called “restorative justice.” Like many leftist terms, the “justice” in the phrase “restorative justice” has nothing to do with being just. Instead, it’s permission for a leftist judge to ignore facts and law and, instead, to go with her gut. The reality is that “restorative justice” simply gives a pass to bad activity that melds with leftist shibboleths. It is anything but “just.”
On the internet, people are taken aback by Judge Jarmon’s appearance because it implies that her moral compass leans Koranic. That’s just one part of the whole, though. She is, in fact, a semi-literate leftist, all of whose values lead her away from the Constitution and the rule of law. Trump is absolutely right that the American judiciary needs reform and it could start with people like Judge Jarmon.

John Cleese reminds us that ‘race doesn’t matter, but culture does’

The jobs report is out and Joe Biden can't hide from 'dismal'
By Monica Showalter
A journalist struggles to understand why anyone would like Trump
By Andrea Widburg
Eric Cortellessa, a Time staff writer who obviously dislikes Donald Trump, nevertheless scored a long interview with him. Time published both Cortellessa’s summary and the interview transcript. Sometimes, they are two different things. Mostly, though, Cortellessa, listening to what Trump says, sees as foul the points Trump makes and cannot comprehend that normal Americans could agree. The disconnect is stark.
You can tell immediately that Cortellessa dislikes Trump because he says the interview occurred in Trump’s “fever-dream palace.” Right there you have the snide take one expects from the journalist class. And then there’s his claim that Trump plans an “imperial presidency,” which is not true (especially compared to Biden’s lawlessness regarding borders, student loans, etc.). Lastly, Cortellessa is one of the class of “journalists” whose compulsive verbal tic is to deny that the election was stolen.
It’s worth quoting in full Cortellessa’s summation because these are the key points that show the disconnect between the media and Trump:
What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world. To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland. He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.
I cannot compress Trump’s two-hour interview into a post, but I’ll sum up what Trump actually said and how Americans might view his points, without Cortellessa’s hostile filter in the way.
Trump on immigration. Trump says he intends to deport 15-20 million illegal aliens. He points to Dwight Eisenhower’s efforts for support. (Maybe he read my post.) Ordinary Americans will agree with Trump’s points about the rule of law and the destruction the illegal aliens bring with them.
When Trump says he’ll rely on states and the National Guard but will use the military if absolutely necessary, Cortellessa frames the latter possibility as a posse comitatus violation. However, Trump correctly counters that he wouldn’t be executing laws against Americans but would repel a huge invasion of around 20 million people, many of whom are fighting-age males from hostile countries.
Trump also rejects the resurrection of the Obama attack that he’d build “detention camps,” saying that one doesn’t need them if one deports illegal aliens. Regarding locales that want to be sanctuaries, he says that they can do it but kiss goodbye to federal funds—an appropriate response to lawlessness.
Finally, Trump emphasizes that he’s going to get that wall built and will follow Supreme Court rulings.
Trump on abortion. Trump says rightly that abortion is not a federal issue. Nor does he worry that he’ll have to veto a federal abortion bill because it’ll never happen. Trump refuses to say anything about mifepristone, the abortion pill, saying that he’ll have an official statement ready soon.
Trump also refuses to be baited into commenting on what states do to enforce their abortion laws. “It’s irrelevant whether I’m comfortable or not. It's totally irrelevant because the states are going to make those decisions.” In other words, to the extent Cortellessa implied that Trump was encouraging state police to monitor women’s pregnancies, that’s a serious misrepresentation.
My guess is that most non-radical Americans support Trump’s position—it’s a state’s rights matter—which also aligns with the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.
Trump on withholding funds appropriated by Congress. I can’t quite tell, but I think that this refers to Trump’s insistence that, as President, he has the constitutional mandate to guide foreign policy...and that means using allocated funds in the way that best effectuates goals that benefit America. This is probably constitutionally correct, and most people would agree with his insistence that America must come first.
Trump on controlling the U.S. Attorney. Trump says he would fire a rogue U.S. Attorney, and again, he’s correct. To the extent the FBI is under the control of the Justice Department, we’ve seen incredible abuses of power thanks to the US Attorney’s policies and procedures. When a U.S. Attorney engages in hyper-partisan political warfare, not on behalf of the Constitution and the law and regulations of the United States, but to use his office to achieve political goals, he needs to be brought to heel or ousted.
Trump on the January 6, 2021, protesters. Trump says he’d consider pardoning every one of them. That’s a good reason on its own to elect him. As Trump correctly says, we’re looking at a “two-tier system,” which is “sad,” I say it’s (a) unconstitutional and (b) the death of the rule of law in America. Moreover, as there’s increasing evidence that January 6 was a set-up followed by a cover-up, it’s even more outrageous that people’s lives are being destroyed for walking peacefully between the ropes through Congress.
Trump on withholding defenses from deadbeat European and Asian countries. Leftists hate America, but they love Europe, so much so that they believe America must defend Europe’s borders while abandoning its own. Trump rightly holds, and his supporters will agree, that America has no obligation to spend its treasure and blood for Europe when European countries can’t even be bothered to cough up their own money for their defense.
As for Asia—which is Taiwan—Trump was cagey and drowned Cortellessa in meaningless double talk.
Trump on gutting the U.S. Civil Service. The U.S. Civil Service is too big, too expensive, too inefficient, and way too partisan. This partisanship infects just about every agency except for the Border Patrol. From the FBI to the CIA to the National Park Service to the IRS, they all need to be trimmed, and most should be relocated to flyover country to break the D.C. Swamp’s hold on them. Again, while Cortellessa is shocked, most normal Americans would agree with Trump.
Trump on using the National Guard to protect American cities. Yes, of course. It’s eminently reasonable for a modern president to do the same when Antifa, BLM, and Hamas rioters (and whatever else the left cooks up) are destroying American cities, and leftist governors and university administrators refuse to call out their National Guard. (That’s why Eisenhower called the Guard to protect blacks in Alabama—the governor refused to act.)
Trump on closing the White House pandemic-preparedness office. Trump rightly points out that this is “giving out pork.” He adds that, with what COVID taught, the administration now knows how to mobilize the resources it needs if necessary. Correct.
Trump on who would staff his administration. As noted, Cortellessa gives away his leftist creds with his reflexive claim that the 2020 election, which has proven to be riddled with fraud, was totally honest. When asked whether he could staff his administration with people who deny election interference, Trump says that he “wouldn’t feel good about it” because it’s so obvious that it happened. In other words, people who deny the obvious are too stupid to work for him.
I strongly suggest you look at the whole interview, which covers many more topics than the ten above. I addressed only those ten because Cortellessa seemingly thought they’d be the most harmful to Trump.

Biden uses tax policy to buy votes
By Warren Beatty
Joe Biden is buying votes again. His tax revenue proposal for fiscal year 2025 promotes targeted tax increases that affect white individuals more than other groups with the goal of helping to ease racial wealth inequality.
By raising taxes on accumulated wealth based upon income and capital gains, a Treasury Department analysis shows that black and Hispanic families could see a reduction in wealth disparity. The disparity cause: whites tend to own assets subject to capital gains tax and/or fall into higher income tax brackets.
As part of his tax proposal, Joe Biden proposes an expansion of the child tax credit, including a temporary raise in the per-child amount and a permanent restoration of the full refundability provision. The Treasury Department reports that this proposal will help alleviate the wealth racial disparity because a greater percentage of blacks and Hispanics have historically benefited from the credit.
Preston Brashers, research fellow for tax policy in the Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, said, "Taxing capital gains at 44.6% at the federal level -- not to mention state taxes -- would be economic suicide... the net result would be less tax revenue, not more. The middle class and working class would be slammed with mass layoffs and lower real wages."
Chris Edwards, the Kilts Family Chair in Fiscal Studies at the Cato Institute, said, "Left-wing Biden economists seem unable to appreciate that raising taxes on capital hurts labor. Capital and labor work together to produce economic growth. They are complements. The Biden economists seem to hold the Marxist view that capital and labor are bitter enemies, and that the only way that labor can win is for the government to crush capital."
The Biden bunch is big on 'root causes.' Biden uses taxes to achieve parity rather than address the root cause of wealth and income inequality.
This is yet another manifestation of DEI. Equity focuses upon tailoring policies, in this case tax policy to the circumstances of specific individuals or groups to achieve an equal outcome. Biden is in favor of racial equity over racial equality. Whatever happened to everybody being treated equally? Not gonna happen on Biden's watch.

NY Prosecuting Trump for Being Extorted
By John Cleer
None of the liberals calling for Trump's head know what he's accused of, they just know he did it. They don't remember how the previous accusations ended or even what they were, despite having taken the strongest of positions; and here they are, again, taking the strongest position on the one issue they want you to know they care about: Donald Trump is Guilty.
So that's the Manhattan jury pool. Almost all of them read the New York Times so it's no wonder. But to be fair, no one else knows what Trump's accused of, either. Not the lawyers, not the pundits nor the people they interview. Three weeks in, no one on either side or on the outside knows what the crime is. I heard a Politico reporter tell Brian Lehrer that a prosecutor doesn't have to say what the charges are, but can figure them out as he goes. Lehrer affected that this made perfect sense to him, and I think they're right: Alvin Bragg himself doesn't know what the charges are.
I asked my mom, a reliable barometer for MSM messaging, to explain the crime in Trump's “hush money” payments, and she said it's the cover-up. “That's what an NDA is, Mom. An contract to pay someone not to talk.”
“But Trump covered that up,” she said. “During an election.”
She thinks of the hush money as the crime and the cover-up, but simultaneously, thinks the crime is the cover-up of the hush money. In other words, she tracks Bragg's case perfectly. Michael Cohen paying Stormy Daniels and billing Trump for reimbursement could only have been directed by Trump as an illegal scheme to conceal the NDA.
The problem with that theory is that for the cover-up to be criminal, the act being concealed must also be; but NDA's are legal, routinely-made agreements, especially in N.Y. Knowing this, N.Y. prosecutors cobbled together a tiny Frankenstein of expired misdemeanors from different jurisdictions and brought them back to life by alleging they were done to interfere in elections, to create 34 felonies of a class no neutral judge would accept, which appear to be accounting decisions, and hurl them at a defendant who doesn't do his own accounting.
Never mind that the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FEC both declined the election case, and that Bragg, being a local D.A., has no jurisdiction. Never mind that without this federal crime which the feds deemed wasn't a crime, the underlying charges are expired. Never mind the prosecution's testimony violating the collateral evidence rule. Never mind the judge's family generating income from his rulings.
Ignoring these serious problems, the prosecution must not only prove that Trump ordered Daniels' “hush” payment to be structured in the way it was, but that he did so deliberately to conceal some other law that he broke, and further that he broke that law to influence the 2016 election and not to protect his marriage, family, or reputation.
With Daniels, as with Karen McDougal, the payment scheme had another layer. David Pecker at the National Inquirer paid McDougal for her story and didn't publish it. Pecker testified he did the same for Schwarzenegger when he ran for California governor and Rahm Emanuel when running for Chicago mayor. But somehow it became a crime when it benefited Trump.
Trump did not reimburse Pecker for McDougal, hence only being charged for Daniels. Whether or not that played a role, Pecker did not buy Daniels' story and Cohen couldn't convince Trump to, even with Daniels ready to cancel and go public with ABC. As Michael Avenatti told CNN, “ 'It's absolutely laughable' that Trump was not aware of attempts by Cohen to pay Daniels.”
On Day Nine of the Trial, Daniels' lawyer for the NDA, Keith Davidson, testified on Cohen missing deadlines to finalize it: “It was clear, Cohen didn't have the authority to spend money. Finally, he said, 'I'll just do it myself.'”
“So let me get this straight,” Avenatti tweeted. “Cohen now claims he borrowed $130k on his house and pays interest on it in order to give that same $130k (on behalf of a billionaire) to a woman who according to him was lying.”
It can be inferred from Trump's apparent refusal to pay that the allegation was a lie, as Cohen said, or otherwise nonthreatening. Trump didn't want to make the deal (nor did he make it), but Cohen did -- in fact, in Davidson's testimony he sounded desperate to.
Clearly threatened by Cohen with a lawsuit, One America News retracted and apologized for a March 27 story they'd covered with the Gateway Pundit of a self-described intelligence contractor, Tony Seragus, who tweeted that he'd shared a Newport Beach office building with Avenatti where Avenatti told him Cohen himself had slept with Daniels starting in 2006, and Cohen had hatched the hush money scheme to extort Trump.
Now if you look at Daniels' original 2011 tell-all interview, the supposed affair with Trump is almost an afterthought. She devoted few words to it and gave no idiosyncratic details: the deed was done in a normal way and didn't happen again, despite her likewise unverifiable claim that Trump called her for years afterward from a blocked number. She named Ben Roethlisberger as a witness to them not having sex the next time they met. So by the looks of things, she didn't expect this to go to court. She wanted the settlement.
Viva Frei thinks “it looks like Cohen might have been involved in a fabricate-to-get-paid scheme, where he would find a scandal” and arrange to cover it up. Robert Barnes elaborates, “here's the problem with 'fixers': they often have to create problems that they say they fixed for you, that often are not problems, for you.” He then lists the reasons Daniels is not Trump's type, suggesting she was not a problem, for Trump -- which matches up with Trump not paying. But Cohen really wanted to fix it, didn't he?
Barnes thinks Cohen “definitely” had relations with Daniels. If so, that could be how Cohen found the problem to fix. Why else would he take a loan on his own house to lend the borrowed money to a billionaire? Is it possible that Daniels extorted him originally and they made a deal to extort Trump? Remember, she and McDougal each approached the Inquirer with the same lawyer, Keith Davidson.
Davidson has been sued for extortion by Hulk Hogan, Tila Tequila, Charlie Sheen, and Robert Herjavek of Shark Tank. When The Smoking Gun wrote their profile on him, Davidson was fighting three extortion lawsuits at the same time and allegedly attempted to extort the reporter.
Davidson brought the women to Pecker, who we're told published negative stories about Trump's opponents but “caught and killed” stories about Trump, because he wanted Trump to win.
Barnes continues: “Pecker was involved in his own extortion scheme. That's really what he admitted to on the stand. The scam was, go and buy up stories that could embarrass someone, and then get them to pay you. He's pretending it was always the other way around. Let's just assume it wasn't.”

America’s Jenga Tower of Power
By J.B. Shurk
Immigration Might Just Trump Abortion for the 2024 Election
Dems are counting on abortion, but another issue is dominating the polls.
by Joe Schaeffer | May 4, 2024
What if deportation, and not abortion, is the keyword of the 2024 election? A new poll finds more Americans across the political spectrum support strong action to resolve the illegal immigration crisis.
“Half of Americans – including 42% of Democrats – say they’d support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll,” Axios reported. Yes, the news site still couldn’t resist using the loaded term “undocumented immigrants” as it related the growing exasperation of the American people on an issue the big-box media would dearly love to play down in an election year.
“Americans are open to former President [Donald] Trump’s harshest immigration plans, spurred on by a record surge of illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans,” the establishment outlet continued. “And 30% of Democrats – as well as 46% of Republicans – now say they’d end birthright citizenship, something guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution,” Axios noted with obvious astonishment.
“I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations,” Mark Penn, chairman of The Harris Poll, said of the results. “I think they’re just sending a message to politicians: ‘Get this under control.’”
Blue Flight on Immigration
Democrats seeking re-election do not want to be tied to the Biden administration’s disastrous inaction on border security. On April 24, five “centrist” House Democrats released a statement declaring their staunch support for increased Border Patrol funding. “[W]e strongly agree with the National Border Patrol Council that Congress and the president must act and bring order to the southern border,” the statement by Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), Jared Golden (D-ME), Mary Peltola (D-AK), Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), and Don Davis (D-NC) read. “That is why … we all voted last month for $19.6 billion for Border Patrol so that it could ramp up its efforts to secure the border.”
It isn’t only the “moderate” Democrats feeling the heat. In woke California, elected officials are having to deal with mounting anger over the unchecked wave of refugees allowed into the United States during the Biden years. And it’s not just coming from the white middle class, either.
“Even in his heavily immigrant district, which contains large Latino and Vietnamese communities, the ‘visceral reaction to the refugees, it’s universal,’ state Rep. Lou Correa told the Los Angeles Times in February. “I have Latinos, I have [illegal aliens] saying, ‘Why are you letting in so many people when I busted my a** for 30 years, and I can’t get a work permit?’” Correa said. “You cannot sit there and explain to people … You’ve got to come up with a slogan. Is the slogan going to be, ‘kick them all out’? That’s the challenge we have.”
‘Single Biggest Issue’ in Massachusetts
The story is the same in Massachusetts.
Immigration “is the ‘single biggest issue’ facing Massachusetts, according to the poll of 1,002 Massachusetts residents conducted by MassINC with GBH News and Commonwealth Beacon,” the Boston Herald reported in April. “Twenty-one percent of those polled said immigration was on top of their list of concerns, followed by 15% for housing and 12% for the cost of living.”
It’s not a mystery why this would be so. “The ongoing influx of illegal immigrants, lured to Massachusetts because of its generous welfare benefits, is threatening to wreak havoc with the state budget, let alone with the social fabric of some cities and towns which are housing the immigrants,” the paper stressed. “State services are being cut and money being transferred to accounts to cope with the needs of the needy immigrants, many of whom are women and children.”
National polls reflect this acute state of alarm as well.
In each of the first three months of 2024, Gallup asked poll respondents: “What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?” Immigration was the top answer in February and March, garnering a whopping 28% of the 20 different answers given, and it came in second by one percentage point (21% to 20%) in January to “the government/poor leadership.”
How vital a concern was abortion? It garnered 2% of responses in January and February and then jumped all the way to 3% in March.
The overarching question is twofold. First, how long can a manipulative big-box media shy away from honestly conveying the reality of a core issue that can demolish blue electoral hopes in November? Second, what can Democrats do to dodge this potential ballot disaster of their own making?

Young Democrats Warn Biden to Stand With Gaza – Or Else
Young voters seem fed up with Biden for now, but will it matter come November?
by James Fite | May 4, 2024
Young Democratic voters have a warning for President Joe Biden: Change course on the issues that matter to them – like Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza – or say goodbye to re-election in November. Recent polling shows young voters have been souring on Biden for a while, but the president’s comments Thursday, May 2, condemning violence at the protests happening on college campuses across the nation were a tipping point for many. Will these young voters really abandon him come November – and will it be enough to cost him a second term?
Biden Asks for Peace, Gets Another War Instead
While he spoke up in defense of peaceful protest in his Thursday speech from the Roosevelt Room in the White House, President Biden also criticized protesters for the violence and anti-Semitism on display at so many campus demonstrations. He specifically condemned trespassing, vandalism, and personal violence – and that’s simply unacceptable for some.
“Destroying property is not a peaceful protest; it’s against the law,” Biden said on Thursday. “Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduation, none of this is a peaceful protest. Threatening people, intimidating people … Dissent is essential to democracy, but dissent must never lead to disorder.”
Elise Joshi, the executive director of Gen-Z for Change, a “collective of Gen-Z activists that leverage the power of social media to drive progressive change,” called Biden’s remarks “shameful” and issued a warning to the president:
“To paint us as violent when police are the ones tear-gassing, shooting, and beating students, especially knowing he was elected in large part due to Black Lives Matter, is utterly shameful,” Joshi said. “He will lose the election if he decides to roll the dice and assume that Gaza isn’t at the top of minds right now.”
Kidus Girma, campaign director at the Sunrise Movement, a political action organization dedicated to fighting climate change, said it’s “in the interest of the president to run on a progressive mandate” to show young voters he’s on their side. “I don’t think the president is currently meeting young voters enough. We are paying attention,” Girma said. “It’s critical that President Biden recognize the voices of young people calling for peace in Gaza. The Americans are calling for the end of unconditional military aid and a permanent cease-fire.” Girma advises that the quickest way to end unrest on the nation’s college campuses is to “listen to the majority of Americans and young students fighting for what is right.”
None of these words of warning or advice acknowledge that the president has also spoken out against anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim hate or that many of the protesters have, in fact, been threatening Jewish students, damaging property, and preventing others from attending school peacefully. Instead, they latch on to the president’s call for peace and order and criticism of anti-Semitism and present it as pro-Israel, anti-Palestine sentiment.
Survey Says: Young Voters Are Bailing on Biden Anyway
Biden’s waffling between support of Israel and calls for a cease-fire aside, it turns out this particular demographic is hard to satisfy anyway. While young voters showed up for Biden in 2020, they have been souring on him ever since.
Matt Duss, executive vice president of the Center for International Policy, called the Biden administration “the most progressive administration of my lifetime,” citing initiatives like the student loan forgiveness program as evidence of Biden’s catering to young voters. And polls going back as far as 2021 have shown that young voters were abandoning Biden before the Israel-Hamas war or the protests at American colleges.
The reality of the situation may well be that the president won’t please Gen-Z and Millennial Democrats no matter what he does. But while Biden’s actions may not make much of a difference in whether this demographic currently supports him, that, in turn, might not make much of a difference in the election. Some of these disenchanted youths will either vote third party or leave the ballot blank. Many, however, are expected to “come home to Biden” during the election, as Duss put it. And on top of that, fewer young people vote than any other age group anyway.
According to the Census Bureau, 57% of eligible voters aged 18-34 voted in 2020, up from just 49% in 2016. But the 35-64 age group saw 69% turnout in 2020 and 65% in 2016. And turnout was 74% in 2020 and 71% in 2016 for voters 65 and older. And about half of all voters – 48% in 2020 and 50% in 2016 – fall in the 35-64 range. Just 29% of voters in 2020 and 24% in 2016 were in the “youth” range of 18-34, with even fewer, of course, falling in the narrower college age range of late teens through early 20s.
This doesn’t mean that the increase in young voters didn’t help put Biden over the line in 2020 – or that their newfound apathy couldn’t cost him a win now. But knowing that young voters make up the smallest portion of the American electorate and that they have the lowest turnout of any other age group may be some small comfort to Biden and his supporters since it seems he can’t please them anyway.

The Green-Driven Surrender of the West
David Blackmon
May 04, 2024
·
Members of the G7 economic alliance, meeting in Turin, Italy, agreed Tuesday to end usage of coal for power generation by the year 2035, a mere 11 years into the future. But, as with so many international deals like this one, there’s a catch.
Really, there are two catches. The first is the addition of a qualification stating the member countries will phase coal out by 2035, or “in a timeline consistent with keeping a limit of 1.5°C temperature rise within reach, in line with countries’ net-zero pathways”. That’s a pretty major exception in and of itself yet the ministers agreed to add a second qualifier, stating the deal will apply only to what they refer to as “unabated” coal plants, defined as any plant that is not accompanied by a probably hugely costly and energy-hungry carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.
The pair of major qualifiers were reportedly needed to obtain sign-off by the US, Germany and Japan, all of whose power grids still rely on coal to provide a significant share of baseload power. The usage of CCS to provide abatement for coal-fired plants is also conveniently consistent with the new Clean Power Plan issued by the Biden EPA a week earlier.
Even with those caveats, however, this effort to rob power grids in the West and Japan of so much affordable, stable, round-the-clock baseload generation comes at an inauspicious time. Electricity demand is rising at an accelerating pace, driven by new demands by AI, electric car charging needs, and new industrial plants for the manufacturing of EVs and renewable energy parts and equipment. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told a gathering in January that the power needed for AI and its data centers alone will require a doubling of generation capacity in barely a decade.
The G7’s announcement highlights the divide between the climate alarm-driven machinations by western governments and the ongoing growth of coal usage by China, India, Indonesia, and other developing countries in Asia. The contrast is especially stark where China is concerned, given its continuing permitting of more and more new coal plants despite public pledges to start cutting back. Indeed, Greenpeace claimed China permitted more new coal plants during Q3 2023 than it did in all of 2021.
In its annual global survey of coal usage published this month, the Global Energy Monitor finds that worldwide operating capacity for coal rose by 2 per cent last year, led by China’s domestic growth. China accounted for fully two thirds of the 69.5 gigawatts (GW) of global coal-fired power generation capacity growth during 2023. And, despite its pledges to focus on reducing its carbon emissions, the Xi Jinping government appears set to exceed its 48.4 GW expansion during 2023 over the course of 2024.
Indonesia came in second on that list of 2023 coal capacity additions with 5.9 GW for the year. India was third with 5.5 GW, with Vietnam, Japan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, South Korea, Greece and Zimbabwe rounding out the top 10.
As mentioned above, the US EPA has endorsed CCS as the best available “proven” solution for abating carbon emissions from both coal and natural gas power plants, but it also bears pointing out that no power plant in the United States today is currently abated using this technology. The marriage has been attempted at 5 different US coal plants, but none of the projects have proved successful. No one has yet attempted such a wedding between CCS and a natural gas plant. Thus, the utility of attempting to abate emissions in this way remains entirely speculative.
Meanwhile, as the US and many fellow G7 countries are now moving to try to eliminate natural gas plants, China and other developing economies are simultaneously demanding more and more of the abundant and cheap commodity. Just this past week, China State Shipbuilding Corporation announced a deal to build 18 new LNG tankers for Qatar, as that nation moves boldly to expand its own LNG export capacity. That move comes just three months after the US government placed an indeterminate hold on the permitting of domestic LNG export terminals.
What it is all boiling down to is an appearance of unilateral surrender of energy security – and of all industries which need energy, especially including AI – by the western world to China. History will not look kindly on the leaders of this forced march to subservience.

Automakers Confirm Warrantless Location Data Sharing With US Agencies
Modern cars transform from mere transport to tools of surveillance, challenging notions of privacy on the streets.
Didi Rankovic
May 3, 2024
The New York state of mind, for once, may be winning – New Yorkers never really cared to drive. And with the new developments in the car industry, and its all but formal collusion with the constantly surveilling government – perhaps others might take some pointers?
(Of course, not driving or owning a car does not exempt you from surveillance or censorship, even if you’re just walking down the street – but owning and using one on a daily basis, if it’s a modern, “internet-connected car with hundreds of censors” – surely significantly lowers your chances of preserving your personal security and data integrity.)
In any case, it’s not looking good out there, as far as privacy and other civil rights are concerned, the way the automobile industry is going. Cars slowly turned from just machines to get people from A to B – into, “potential spying machines acting in ways drivers do not completely understand.”
That’s a big jump, on any “annoyance scale.”
In the US, this is still a hard pill to swallow, and so there are initiatives from certain lawmakers to capture the “angst” of the truth developing around cars, freedom, and autonomy, and capitalize on it among their expected voters.
And so, Democrat Senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey wrote to the Federal Trade Commission, regarding car manufacturers sharing data with the police. Some of the arguments, however, were rather narrow – where the developments are affecting everybody.
We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.
https://docs.reclaimthenet.org/signed-wyden-markey-letter-to-ftc.pdf
But – wrote Wyden – “As far-right politicians escalate their war on women, I’m especially concerned about cars revealing people who cross state lines to obtain an abortion.”
Other instances include cases of stalking, etc – but why isn’t a person’s right to privacy any longer protected as a given, whether or not a violation may be suspected?
And now for the reality affecting everybody, at different points of their experience: Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Volkswagen, BMW, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, and Kia all have confirmed that they have tech embedded in their vehicles allowing them to turn over location data to US government based solely on a subpoena – that it, without a judge having to sign off on an approval.
Volkswagen is the “outlier” here, in that this company will do the same if the data is six days or less old – a subpoena will do. But an actual warrant will be needed to turn over data that spans data collected over a week, according to reports.

Documents Reveal Facebook Described Its Struggle with Biden White House on COVID-19 Censorship as a “Knife Fight”
Newly released documents shed light on Facebook's internal turmoil and sharp exchanges with the Biden administration over COVID-19 speech.
Cindy Harper
May 3, 2024
Documents released by the House Judiciary Committee this week reveal that Facebook executives felt embroiled in a bitter conflict with the Biden administration regarding the latter’s call for more aggressive COVID-19 censorship. What the Facebook team compared to a “knife fight” was sparked by President Biden’s public chastising of the platform in July 2021, holding it responsible for “killing people” due to a perceived lack of action against COVID-19 “misinformation.”
We obtained a copy of the report for you here.
WhatsApp messages exposed by the inquiry disclose the inner discontent of Facebook executives following Biden’s critical comments.
Then-Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg expressed her dissatisfaction with Biden’s statement, according to the report, by stating “Ugh on Biden today.” The company’s global affairs president, Nick Clegg, was more explicit in his frustration, describing the White House’s recent conduct as “highly cynical and dishonest” and their interactions as a “knife fight.”
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, seemed to suggest that the administration was exerting undue influence on content control, asking if it was viable to discuss how the White House pressured them to censor the lab leak theory about the origins of the pandemic.
The narrative of censorship was further reinforced by former Biden Director of Digital Strategy Robert Flaherty’s recommendation to alter the platform’s algorithm to favor corporate news publications over conservative ones – a detail gleaned from documents the House Judiciary Committee scrutinized in August.

NY vs. Trump: Bragg's own witness, Hope Hicks, implodes case against Trump
Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg should turn himself in to authorities for impersonating an honest lawyer
Gregg Jarrett
Published May 4, 2024 7:00am EDT
In an epic miscalculation that backfired spectacularly, prosecutors in the Manhattan hush money trial of Donald Trump called Hope Hicks to the witness stand. The moment cross-examination began, their misbegotten case against the former president began to collapse.
Hicks, who served as press secretary during the 2016 presidential campaign, explained that Trump’s motive for suppressing salacious stories was to protect his wife, Melania. "Absolutely…I don’t think he wanted anyone in his family to be hurt or embarrassed about anything on the campaign. He wanted them to be proud of him."
The account by Hicks demolishes District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s primary claim against Trump that he paid porn star Stormy Daniels for her silence with the intent to benefit his campaign and, thereby, influence the election by "unlawful means." To the contrary, it nicely corroborates the findings of a federal investigation that no crimes were committed, or campaign finance laws broken because there was another purpose for the non-disclosure agreement that Daniels signed.
Like the prosecution witnesses before her, Hicks disparaged Bragg’s planned star witness, Michael Cohen, Trump’s one-time personal lawyer. "He used to like to call himself Mr. Fix-It, but it was only because he first broke it." Ouch! But that denigrating remark is tame compared to the other derisive comments that have been leveled thus far at the insufferable Cohen, who is a convicted liar who went to prison.
It was foolhardy for Bragg’s legal team to call Hicks. A rank amateurish mistake. Her testimony was redundant and unnecessary. But under the theory that no dead horse will be left unbeaten, prosecutors seemed determined to have her tell the jury what they already knew.
If polling data is correct, Americans are offended by this big top spectacle. They resent seeing the leading candidate for president taken off the campaign trail and tied up in court by a partisan enemy.
Hicks confirmed that Trump was aware that Cohen paid off Daniels to end what can fairly be described as aggressive blackmail demands. When the election drew near, Daniels ratcheted up her greedy scheme to profit from Trump by threatening to go public about a supposed affair, which he denied. Not incidentally, she renounced the purported tryst. Then, in a head-spinning maneuver, she recanted her repudiation.
The payment to Daniels, regardless of its intent, proved to be a waste of money. While the National Enquirer never published her story, Hicks testified that other news outlets did so in advance of the election. In the end, it didn’t seem to matter much to voters who were more invested in policy ideas rather than personal issues. The unlikeable Hillary Clinton was also a factor.
It is worth repeating that the jury already knows all about the Daniels transaction. It has been the subject of endless discourse by other witnesses since the trial commenced. This makes Hicks’ testimony superfluous, and it proves nothing. Of course, Trump knew about the payments. He doesn’t contest it. He says he followed his lawyer’s advice, who handled everything. So what?
The payments made were not illegal. Non-disclosure contracts in exchange for silence are not unlawful. Killing negative stories violates no statutes. More to the point, it is not a crime for Trump to know about a non-crime. That would be a senseless syllogism.
So, where exactly is the crime? To quote a memorable line from "Shakespeare In Love," "I don’t know…it’s a mystery!"
There is, however, no mystery behind Alvin Bragg’s politically driven prosecution of Trump. Out of thin air, the DA conjured up expired misdemeanors, dumped them into a Cuisinart, tossed in a garbage state statute that doesn’t apply to a federal election, hit the "puree" button, and then poured out an absurd concoction of faux felonies.
The only crime here is Bragg’s grotesque abuse of the law.
The legal wrangling between two lawyers who executed a legal contract on behalf of their respective clients is what attorneys do every day. It was booked in Trump’s private business records as "legal expenses" because that is what they were. Nothing was falsified, as Bragg claims in his indictment. But the D.A. wants to put Trump in prison for following his attorney’s legal advice.
Bragg must have skipped his law school class when the "doctrine of impossibility" was taught. You can’t pick an empty pocket. Nor can you unlawfully influence an election after the election. In his charges, Bragg contends that Trump falsified business records in 2017. But the presidential contest occurred in 2016, making it impossible to even complete the intended crime for which he stands accused.
This is just one of the many fallacies embedded in Bragg’s frivolous case. The alleged facts and evidence do not amount to a crime. On this basis, any objective or neutral judge would have long ago granted the defense motion to dismiss the case. Regrettably, Juan Merchan is on the bench. It’s as if he jettisoned his black robe to assume the function of a willing accessory to Bragg’s phony charges.
With Hicks on the stand, prosecutors dwelled interminably on the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape. It has no bearing on the case, mind you, except to smear Trump with irrelevant and prejudicial information. Merchan’s ruling to permit it as admissible evidence is a reversible error, just as it proved to be in the recently dismissed sex crimes conviction of Harvey Weinstein.
Bragg should turn himself in to authorities for impersonating an honest lawyer. To fulfill his campaign promise to nail Trump, the D.A. has manipulated the law and mangled evidence to engineer a wrongful conviction. He targeted Trump in a textbook case of selective prosecution. This is an affront to the principles of fairness and equal justice.
If polling data is correct, Americans are offended by this big top spectacle. They resent seeing the leading candidate for president taken off the campaign trail and tied up in court by a partisan enemy. Bragg’s legally anemic case only accentuates the injustice.
There is no mistaking the boomerang effect here. Voters see this for precisely what it is: a pathetically weak case designed to damage Trump politically to the benefit of President Joe Biden’s reelection chances.
Let’s hope the jurors see that, too.

Every foreign anti American protester should be deported. The US protesters that became violent or refused lawful orders to disperse should be expelled. Handling these hoodlums and thugs with kid gloves is the wrong way to do it. The non students causing mayhem and trouble should be prosecuted and locked up. This is no way to run a country.

It is Your Economy .. yours, mine, our family, friends and neighbors -- EVERYONE to some degree is touched by the markets and their behavior. So we should be aware of the various mechanisms that make the markets and our economy tick. We live in a new era where politics, rumor, weather and just about anything you can think of effects the markets and our economy in some way, shape or form. Like it or not we are globally tied at the hip and in this new era where the advent of technology and the internet pushes information to the edge of the envelope, we can only hope to keep up with the many challenges ahead and the speed at which they develop. Technology is a double-edged sword and unfortunately can be used for good as well as evil, it just depends on who is holding the sword. This board was created to follow news, markets, stocks, cycles, trends, indicators and most of all to communicate and share ideas. Humor and Cartoons are welcome here, it breaks up the monotony from time to time and I am alays game for a good joke. I enjoy data mining, especially for info that the MSM (Main Stream Media) fail to or are not allowed to report. We must see things from all angles and aspects in order to verify what is true and what is false, basically becoming more atune to separating the wheat from the chaff. Hopefully in the long run this will help us all to make better and more sound decisions. This board is/was basically an information board, but all are welcome to post, (actually I encourage it because looking through another's eyes gives more perspective on issues). We can never learn too much about these ever changing times and the economy at hand.
* I have only a couple of rules and that is if you should post; NO PURE POLITICS or RELIGION and as always expected, please PLAY NICE !!!
>>>
>>>
NOTE: What is meant by "pure politics" as stated in this boards' iBox decriptiion is just that.., it has no real ties to the economy and is mainly a composition of political innuendo. As I assume most of you know, it is difficult at times to separate politics from the economy due to the fact that politics plays a very large part in our everyday lives; be it on an economical, personal or other level altogether. Therefore this has created problems in the discernment of which posts should stay or go due to their leaning too far toward the political side and are slight on economic issues. As hard as my assistants and I try, we cannot please everyone. But we do what we do and want to be fair, we do want what should stay as part of this forums curricular. Everyone has an opinion and/or wants to be heard and I will do whatever I can to help ensure that is what takes place and hopefully most will not feel as though they are being targeted or alienated.
In the end all I can ask is that you be patient if a post of yours has been deleted, yet it has economic undertones that state otherwise and you feel should remain. If you feel you have been wronged - relax, sit back and PM me and I will make a final judgement. I am rather liberal, therefore more times than not I most likely will restore your post if it has merit and/or fallen between the cracks. Things happen or are interpreted differently and sometimes incorrectly, we are human. So do NOT throw a hissy fit nor become a foul mouth fool. Also PM harassment is frowned upon and should carry a level of disciplinary action, but I will leave that up to iHub Admin. Besides all that life is too precious to spend in a tirade. These types of behavior will get you no where except a closer view of the exit.. Treat people as you would like to be treated and we can work through most issues. It all starts with civil dialogue, respect for another's opinion even if not agreed upon. An agreement to disagree is the way I like to see things conclude when minds cannot meld. Just because an agreement cannot be reached does not mean we automatically have to trash another for their views and/or opinions. Let's face it, we all want better, we all want to be part of something bigger than ourselves and we all want to gain an edge in the game of life. This cannot be accomplished without an open mind and a certain level of tolerance for all that speak out.
As a matter of fact I encourage as many of you as possible to post, even if it is just once a month. You don't have to take the world by storm, it could be about something as simple as a neighborhood observation such as more homes up for sale than in months past or how empty the parking lots are at a traditionally known hot spot. Post an article or commentary that hits close to home, test the waters and see if others have seen similar events around the country. We have at our fingertips virtually 100s of libraries of information and cyber chat connections we can use to find out how different aspects of the economy are doing all around the nation. I truly believe we all have a lot to contribute and share and while we all will never see eye to eye on every subject or then again maybe none at all, but different points of view may enhance our own outlook or the way we see and do things. Right or wrong, the world is constantly evolving and technology will begin to pick up speed by leaps and bounds So we could serve each other better if we take what is posted for face value instead of an opportunity to lambaste someone that sees things in a different light than our own preconditioned mindset. When opposing views are met with hostile impositions it is of no service to anyone. I certainly would not want a cult following or a bunch of "yes" men setting the tone for this forum, I want diversity !!! Variety is the spice of life !!! You cannot expand your horizons if you automatically shut down and feel as though you have it all figured out. I got news for you, you don't and you won't until you are lying on your death bed. I do not care who you are or how worldly and educated you may be, we never stop learning unless we hold ourselves back with preconceived notions. Knowledge IS Power...
AND if you should feel the need to post on an otherwise different, yet similar stage:
Your Economy OT - Conspiracy, Politics, Religion, Terrorism, War (whatever else you can think of) (YE2OT)
It's open and ready for business. Over there you can post whatever you like to your hearts content, especially political/economic articles and commentary that does not quite fit in at YE1. So now you have 2 boards - One for economics, markets, trends, data, news, commentary, etc. - a more serious site for those who want the straight dope. And now the YE2OT board for everything else. I will play Moderator, but I am taking applications for an assistant who would control 90%+ of the interaction over there.
If people choose, they can travel between boards if they need a fix of some controlled chaos at YE2OT and then want some cold hard facts as (YE1) was intended.
I want everyone to have a voice, now you have a choice .. enjoy
