Trump Yanks Anti-Assange Zealot’s Security Detail |
Julian Assange is one of tis generation’s greatest journalists. He’s spent his entire adult life bringing previously concealed facts about what our leaders are doing to the public. That is the very definition of journalism.
It’s also why the establishment hates him. Every time Assange exposes a government war crime or reveals a corrupt politician’s shady record, he earns more and more of its scorn. At least one of permanent Washington’s most dubious figures, former CIA Director Mike Pompeo, hates Assange so much that he decided to murder him.
During the first Trump administration, Pompeo and his deputies discussed how the CIA might kidnap Assange from the embassy in London or poison him inside. Multiple witnesses heard those exchanges even though at the time, the U.S. government had not charged Assange with any crimes. But Pompeo wanted him dead anyway.
Karma has a funny way of coming around. Donald Trump revoked Pompeo’s security detail this week. Read more. |
Border Encounters Are Plummeting |
Whatever doubt remained that Joe Biden purposely allowed millions of illegal immigrants to pour into our country is dead. All Donald Trump had to do to curb the crisis was try.
The president’s flurry of executive orders to get the border under control, none of which are radical, are already paying dividends. The number of Border Patrol encounters at the southern border in the first three days of the Trump administration was reportedly 35% lower than the final three days of Biden’s time in office. Over 3,900 encounters occurred from January 17th to the 19th, compared to under 2,600 from the 20th until the 22nd.
Love and genuine care for your constituents is a prerequisite for effective leadership. That’s all it took to bring about this change. Trump wants to fix the border, so he is. Biden wanted to import masses of new Democrat voters, so he did. It’s that simple. Read more. |
Trump Tells the Truth About Zelensky: “He’s No Angel” |
Many of Washington’s most ardent Ukraine supporters have abandoned nuance in the name of their cause. They want the U.S. proxy state to topple Putin and Russia so badly that they work to crush any legitimate criticism of the country or its leaders.
But there are serious grounds upon which Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky deserve scorn. Acknowledging that does not make you pro-Russia, nor does it mean you root for Ukraine’s demise. It makes you a free thinker who elevates the truth over establishment propaganda.
Journalist Gonzalo Lira’s death is the most obvious example. In 2023, Ukrainian law enforcement arrested and charged Lira, a U.S. citizen, with “producing and publishing material that tried to justify the ongoing Russian invasion.” That offense is illegal in their totalitarian state but would have been protected under the First Amendment in America. Eight months later, Lira died after succumbing to his captors’ unbearable prison conditions.
How is this allowed? An American “ally” kills an American citizen and continues receiving taxpayer-funded welfare payments? Really?
Any Ukrainian leader who would let that happen is no angel. Unlike Joe Biden, Donald Trump recognized that reality earlier this week. Hear what he said here. |
Will the Deep State Abide by Trump? |
When Congress enacted the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, it mandated that all of the slain president’s assassination-related files be released within 25 years. But that was 32 years ago. Why haven’t we seen the records?
Whoever is preventing their publication clearly doesn’t care about the law. Like the mayors who declare their jurisdictions “sanctuary cities,” the bureaucrats who prevented the congressionally mandated releases committed a coup against the government. If the law orders something to happen, it must happen. Any alternative is illegal.
We’re about to find out if the same thing will occur again. Donald Trump’s Thursday executive order requiring the release of all JFK, RFK, and MLK assassination documents is now law. If it is not abided by, you’ll know without a shadow of a doubt that the American people do not actually control the government. Read more. |
Former Politico Reporters Detail Election Interference Scheme |
Regardless of whether you believe the 2020 election was “stolen” or that Donald Trump won it, it’s impossible to deny that the media spent the weeks leading up to November of that year committing election interference at the highest levels.
Quashing the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was real, as Russian disinformation? That’s as textbook as it gets.
“Don’t write about the laptop, don’t talk about the laptop, don’t tweet about the laptop.” That’s what former Politico reporter Marc Caputo says his old employer demanded of its journalists as the election grew near. They and the rest of the propaganda press deliberately blocked that story because they knew its spreading would have hurt Joe Biden. They didn’t want to challenge the establishment. They wanted to serve it. Americans spent the past four years paying the price. Read more. |
TOO MUCH FAKE NEWS: Reporter Fired for Likening Musk to Nazis |
Do you f**k with Nazi salutes? Former CBS 58 Milwaukee reporter Sam Kuffel sure doesn’t.
“You f**k with this and this man, I don’t f**k with you. Full stop,” Kuffel captioned an Instagram video of Elon Musk’s inauguration “Nazi salute” earlier this week. “Screw that old b***h. He’s a Nazi,” a character in another post she shared eloquently added.
The problem, of course, is that Musk did not do a Nazi salute. Any honest person who bothered to watch the whole video knows that. Kuffel was lying. And sometimes, even in today’s media ecosystem, lies have consequences.
“Meteorologist Sam Kuffel is no longer employed at CBS58,” the channel’s news director wrote in a memo shortly after the social media tantrum. “A search for a replacement is underway.”
Pour one out. Read more. |
Rogan Slams Democrats’ Nazi “Bulls**t Game” |
Sam Kuffel was hardly the only media member pushing the Musk Nazi salute hoax. The fake news spread the lie far and wide.
“Musk performs bizarre ‘Hitler salute’ at Trump inauguration rally,” Express U.S. reported earlier this week. “Elon Musk ‘makes Nazi salute’ three times during inauguration speech,” another outlet told its readers. “Elon Musk sparks outrage after making salutes at Trump inauguration,” a third said. Shameless.
The bad news for those kinds of “journalists” is that their influence is decaying. Thanks to independent media, consumers do not have to depend on the corporate press for information. No longer must they accept the lies. The monopoly on news is dead.
Joe Rogan played a major role in this happening. Although his podcast’s success once seemed inconceivable, it helped open the floodgates for truth seekers from all walks of life to break free from the establishment’s propaganda spiral. Rogan recognizes the press’s Nazi lies for what they are: bulls**t. He said as much during his Wednesday show. Hear his comments here. |
GAL PALS: Clinton, Harris Bonding Over Trump Defeats |
When it comes to facing women in presidential elections, Donald Trump is like Michael Jordan in the NBA Finals.
Undefeated. Never lost.
Imagine being a fly on the wall during a conversation between the two Trump conquerees, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. That would be better than any reality show Hollywood could ever dream of. Apparently it’s been happening a lot.
According to a new report, “Harris and Clinton have spoken on multiple occasions about their exceedingly rare shared experience and about how to think through the future” since the former’s November defeat. They even met in person during Clinton’s visit to Washington last month. Read more about their secret talks here. |
Four More Years, Again? Congressman Pushes for Third Trump Term |
The 2028 election is going to be one of the most fascinating races in modern history.
Neither party, especially the Democrats, has an overwhelming frontrunner for their nomination. That will set the stage for two robust primaries, giving American voters a real opportunity to choose a new path for their country. Unless the incumbent tries for a third term.
Some in Washington are pushing for that to happen. Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee just announced a joint resolution to amend the Constitution and allow the president to serve three terms if two of them are nonconsecutive. No chief executive besides FDR has ever been elected more than twice.
Would Trump do it? Don’t count on it. “If I win… this will be my last election,” he told Joe Rogan during the campaign. Read more. |
In Case You Missed It: Woman Stunned to Learn She Is Dead |
"This really, really messes up my life."
That’s what Maryland woman Nicole Paulino thought after discovering she was legally dead.
Paulino was innocently applying for a driver’s license renewal upon becoming "frightened and surprised" to learn that she couldn’t obtain the new license because her government did not view her as alive. According to the IRS, she was a “deceased taxpayer.”
How could this happen? Paulino was pretty damn sure that she was, in fact, living. Had the state planned to take her out, prematurely filed the paperwork, but forgotten to do the deed?
Not quite. According to a government representative, a funeral home tried to report someone else dead but got a figure wrong in their Social Security number, submitting Paulino's digits instead. This reportedly happens roughly 10,000 times per year. Maybe you could be dead, too. Read more. |
It’s Time to Rethink Foreign Aid |
Pakistani diversity programs.
You’ve worked hard for your entire life, tirelessly clocking in and out of your job and reluctantly paying your taxes in the hopes that Washington might exclusively spend them in a way that helps you and your family.
But that hasn’t happened. According to the United States government, “Pakistan is home to 35 U.S. government-funded cultural preservation projects and partnerships amounting to over $8.4 million. These projects range from the conservation of Gandhara archaeological treasures, preservation of Mughal architectural heritage, to documentation of historic manuscripts, restoration of historically and architecturally significant Sufi shrines and Hindu monuments, academic and professional partnerships, and digitization of museums.”
Aren’t you relieved? Sure, your taxes could solely go toward efforts to revive America’s education system, improve the country’s bridges and roads, fix our broken healthcare structure, or stop deadly drugs from pouring across the southern border. But doesn’t that pale in comparison to using them to conserve Gandhara archaeological treasures?
Donald Trump doesn’t think so. Although it hasn’t gotten much press compared to his other week-one action items, one of the president’s first executive orders mandates a 90-day pause in foreign development assistance so the administration can review whether Americans really need to be footing the bill for all of Washington’s weird foreign vanity projects. It’s about time.
The U.S. government is funded and elected by American citizens. Not a single penny of its revenue should be spent on anything other than programs that actually help its constituents. That means no Ecuadorian drag shows, no Ukrainian government pensions, and no 2,000-pound bombs to demolish Middle Eastern hospitals. If all of our country’s ducks were in a row, then maybe some of those payments would be worth considering. But they’re not. America is nearly $37 trillion in debt, runs trade deficits with practically every one of its partners, is embattled by homelessness and drug crises, and is clearly in desperate need of a better way to combat natural disasters.
Our leaders should at least try to get those issues straightened away before dishing your hard-earned income throughout the world for foreign powers to light aflame.

January 24, 1848: James W. Marshall discovers gold in California, beginning the California gold rush. A rapid influx of fortune seekers flocked to what soon became the Golden State shortly thereafter, drastically altering the territory’s population count and demographic makeup. Contrary to popular belief, the discovery occurred in 1848, not 1849. Perhaps San Francisco’s professional football team should rename itself the 48ers. |
