On a Saturday night in late April, the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) doled out awards, one of which went to Alex Thompson of Axios. The judges said he deserved the award because, “Thompson’s aggressive reporting on Biden, especially leading up to and after the Trump-Biden debate, revealed that the president’s cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do his job, information the White House tried to conceal. After the debate, Thompson was the first to report that Biden was at his best from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. -- a stunning revelation.” Thompson’s “aggressive reporting” only started in the fourth year of Biden’s term,

If you don’t know this is happening, that’s fine. You’re not missing much, and it’s a sign that this little tour Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is going on is not resonating. Sanders has been crisscrossing the country, holding rallies to fight the oligarchy. It’s his favorite pastime. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Sanders has been warning about the oligarchy.
Most Americans don’t know or care about that word; even Democrats have criticized the tour as too esoteric and insular. If it’s only getting the Democratic Party base excited, that’s a problem. Their base isn’t broad or likable enough to win elections anymore.
Earlier this week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided at least nine restaurants in the nation's capital, requesting proof that the establishments are not flouting the law by employing illegal aliens. Washington, D.C., presents itself as a so-called sanctuary city for illegal aliens, so the mere fact ICE agents targeted a few businesses there is hardly surprising.
What is perhaps more newsworthy is the specific names associated with those raided restaurants. One of those restaurants, Chef Geoff's, is owned by Geoff Tracy, the husband of CBS News anchor and former vice presidential debate co-moderator Norah O'Donnell.
What is the point of Harvard’s research?
4 replies
Charlie Munger, chief investment advisor to Warren Buffett, famously said, “Show me the incentives and I will show you the outcome.” In the academic world, it has always been about publish or perish for researchers. Although there is an academic plague of marginal scholarship, publications are necessary for promotion and for the sake of professional reputation. Our recent work with the National Association of Scholars critically looked at three surefire publication topics — all introduced at some point by Harvard University researchers. This offered us excellent insight into what the “incentives” of their research really are.
Ready for an update on the Epstein file release from the “most transparent” administration ever? Yeah, well that “Phase 2”, or anything that’s actually worth a da*n isn’t coming—or as Karoline Leavitt said when questioned about progress on that front during a White House press conference: there’s “no specific” timeline, but Pam Bondi the “bulldog” and the DOJ are working “diligently” to see justice served.The DOJ holdovers that somehow didn’t have a problem “serving” at the direction of Merrick Garland and Joe Biden?
The “bulldog” who never went after Epstein in any capacity while she was attorney general for the state of Florida
Here’s something most people don’t realize: We didn’t have the type of system-wide, ultra-high-level, utterly catastrophic breaches of the federal government’s network security before a certain server going up in a certain Secretary of State’s bathroom in early 2009. It’s been astonishing to me over the years how nobody seems to have noted this or the timing. Well, it’s about time we did. We’ll do it here. We’ll have a look at how bad it’s been, but first, let’s recall what started it all.

Michelle Obama: The Truth

A few days ago, a clip with Michelle Obama from her podcast 'IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson' raised a few eyebrows.
Michelle says the following to an unseen individual:
"You're being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender... That warms my heart, particularly as a black man."
Was this an inadvertent confession of what some have always claimed?
But before the word 'scandal' could be pronounced, the community notes on X revealed the facts. Michelle Obama was talking to actor Marlon Wayans, and her following is the entire question:
"And, you know, that warms my heart. Particularly as a Black man, um, you know,
I once heard a comic say, “Hitler – a man widely known for liking large dogs and small children – wasn’t really evil. He just had a bad day. Sure, it lasted twelve years and caused twenty million deaths, but it was basically just a bad day.” Which is, of course, pure crap, and even if it was funny (I didn’t laugh), everybody knew Adolf Hitler was a monster with a Charlie Chaplin moustache.
Unfortunately, today, the Dem Progressives (pronounced “Damn Progressives,” but you already knew that), with nothing both real and bad to say about President Trump, have just decided to call him 'Hitler.'
Epstein victim dead, Bondi missing

Virginia Giuffre is dead, and Attorney General Pam Bondi is nowhere to be found. The most prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex trafficking ring died by reported suicide in April—despite having previously warned that powerful people wanted her silenced and that she was not suicidal. Her death has rocked the survivor community, where other victims, like Juliette Rose Bryant, have now come forward expressing fear for their own safety. And yet, despite overseeing a massive cache of Epstein-related evidence promised to the American people in February, Bondi has gone quiet. Her failure to act decisively—despite weeks of mounting questions and a public desperate for answers
‘Trump is Hitler!’
9 replies
A cardinal symptom of TDS is the characterization of Trump as Adolf Hitler and a Nazi. The left, not noticeably given to introspection or critical thinking, obviously fails to recognize its own Nazism. A fundamental tenet of Nazism is that all power be vested in the state. Similarly, the Democrat party strives to establish a government that controls society via regulations and central planning — the Green New Deal, E.V. mandates, vaccination mandates, socialized medicine, wealth redistribution, community planning, public education, judicial activism, Obama’s “Life of Julia”, erosion of competing allegiance to family and faith
Even after the loss of the Harris-Walz ticket last November, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) continues to find himself making headlines. Last week, he dared to still go after Elon Musk, even after a district attorney in his state, Mary Moriarty, is seeking diversion rather than criminal charges for a state employee who allegedly caused over $20,000 in damages to six Teslas, which is a felony. Walz also ranted and raved against President Donald Trump at his state of the state address that same week. During memorable moments he seemed particularly proud of, Walz talked about freedom.
"Here in Minnesota, that freedom means several things,"
A Good Day For The Navy
3 replies
Has the U.S. grown ashamed of its military victories? There are reasons to believe this is true. In April 1988, the U.S. Navy effectively destroyed the Iranian navy following a mine attack on the destroyer USS Roberts. The Navy sank an Iranian frigate, four armed speedboats, blew up two armed oil platforms, and damaged another frigate in one of the shortest and most successful campaigns of the postwar period. Yet even today, there is no actual name attached to the engagement. It’s known simply as “Operation Praying Mantis,” not the obvious “Battle of the Persian Gulf.”
More recent events can also act as evidence for cynicism toward American feats

Aww, now isn’t this nice? The Biden crime family is facing a serious cash crunch now that its patriarch is out of power and the influence-peddling machine has ground to a halt.
As we previously reported, on Thursday, Joe and Jill Biden made a live appearance on “The View” in New York City, and according to Mark Halperin, the move is part of a broader effort to rehabilitate Joe Biden’s image after a disastrous first 100 days back in private life. “There’s a story in Politico today that says they’ve hired the former Pentagon spokesperson to manage the Biden comeback,” Halperin said. “Joe Biden wants to be out there…
Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Briefing” that President Donald Trump will wear a military uniform soon because he was taking the United States toward authoritarianism.
Host Jen Psaki said, “Let me ask you, you said something in the New Yorker in March I thought was really interesting. I mean, you said we should prepare for the worst case scenario. I think many of us feel that way. We’re just over 100 days in, and I guess, are we in the worst case scenario right now or what are you exactly preparing for as governor?”
Walz said, “No I think it gets worse.
Habemus papam — we have a pope, and progressive Catholics will likely be pleased. And for the first time ever, the pope is an American.
Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Leo XIV, is an American who also has Peruvian citizenship. He was a favorite of the late Pope Francis but has often kept a fairly low public profile, meaning that while his tendencies indicate a less traditional and strictly doctrinal perspective, his likely actions as pope have yet to be clearly predicted. But his first speech ominously seemed much in line with progressive rhetoric.
It is unfortunate that the new pope was a favorite of the late Pope Francis, who prioritized leftist politics
This just in: Big animals that can weigh in at a ton, have inch-thick hides, masses of matted hair that is nearly as good as chain-mail armor, that wear big curved perforators on their heads, and that have prickly temperaments, can be dangerous. The animal described, of course, is the American bison, a big, imposing creature, a holdover from the last Ice Age.
And yet, people who think that nature is a Disney movie keep getting too close to them and getting hurt. The latest was a Florida man (of course) who fooled around and found out.
A bison gored a 47-year-old Florida tourist Sunday at Yellowstone National Park
MSNBC political commentator Al Sharpton claimed Thursday on “All In” that President Donald Trump is “fumbling the ball” to the point his voters are getting “buyer’s remorse.”
Sharpton said, “He promised on day one many things he hasn’t delivered. And now I think you said it best to sell austerity rather than prosperity is something that is miles away from what he told his own constituents, or his own supporters.”
He continued, “He does not have a deal. There is no deal. He’s announced something with England today that we really don’t know what that really means. We don’t know what’s going on with China.
President Donald Trump says he will appoint Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
Trump announced the pick in a post on Truth Social.
The selection comes as Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday that Ed Martin, who is currently serving as D.C.'s interim top prosecutor, would not be taking the position permanently after losing support among top Republicans in the Senate.
Wild viral footage has captured Frontier Airlines gate agents getting into a bust-up with a passenger who had sniped, “I’m never flying this sh—y airline again” after being hit with an unexpected $25 fee just to check in.
The caught-on-camera saga erupted when the male passenger — a 45-year-old married father of three — was trying to check in for his Frontier flight from Raleigh, NC, to Boston last Friday after a week-long business trip.
The passenger, who didn’t want to be identified, told The Post he’d arrived at the airport with roughly 50 minutes to spare but wasn’t able to check in on the electronic kiosk because,
An alligator attacked and killed a woman who was canoeing with her husband on a central Florida lake Tuesday afternoon, authorities said, after her spouse tried unsuccessfuly to fight off the predator.
The attack occurred near the mouth of Tiger Creek into Lake Kissimmee, south of Orlando, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said. It's near the same location as a March alligator attack in which a woman was bitten on the elbow while kayaking.
At a news conference Wednesday, FWC Maj. Evan Laskowski said the woman was sitting in the bow of a 14-foot canoe when the attack happened. She and her husband were in about 2.5 feet
I'm going to enjoy writing this too much.
The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albany, N.Y., have opened a criminal investigation into allegations of mortgage fraud involving New York Attorney General Letitia "No One Is Above the Law" James, a source with direct knowledge of the probe confirmed to The New York Post. The investigation, initially revealed by the Albany Times Union, comes on the heels of a formal referral to the Justice Department by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, who last month urged prosecutors to examine James’s conduct.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) appeared on Fox News on Wednesday for an interview with anchor Bret Baier on "Special Report," and I have to say that if anyone who watched that still supports this man, you need to have your head examined.
Sanders, of course, has been "fighting oligarchy" with his pal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), aka AOC, but the problem is that a) most people don't know even what "oligarchy" is and b) Sanders reportedly spent $221,000 on private jets so he could attend those "Fighting Oligarchy" rallies.
During an appearance on “The View” on Thursday morning, former President-ish Joe Biden was confronted with a question about his cognitive health, and his response was such a confusing mess that his wife Jill had to jump in and rescue him mid-answer.
It started when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Biden about claims that have been made in several books, written and sourced by Democrat insiders, that indicate that they were all aware of a steep cognitive decline in Biden’s final year in office.
White smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and the great bells of St. Peter's Basilica rang out on Thursday, signaling that a new pope—the 267th leader of the Catholic Church—had been chosen on just the second day of the conclave. At precisely 6:07 p.m., local time, the smoke rose into the late afternoon sky, sparking an emotional eruption from the tens of thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square. Cheers rang out as priests made the sign of the cross, nuns wept, and the crowd shouted in unison, "Viva il papa!" Flags from across the globe waved above the masses as they anxiously awaited the identity

The marxicat media collective knew what they were witnessing, and what was going on. They just ignored it. Their intense and all consuming abhorrence and hatred of all things Trump and Republican forced them to.
