The Sinking Ship
Timothy Birdnow
Yes, the good ship America is grinding against an iceberg as we speak. All that ice for cocktails may be nice to the upper class but in the end they will have to don life jackets and most of them will freeze in the frigid waters (no, that's not a reference to Hillary Clinton).
From Just the Facts:
In other words they own us lock, stock, and barrel (which we will soon be using as trousers.) We have taxpayer slavery to pay for all this, even if the IRS claims taxes are "voluntary".
The Democrats love the word sustainable; this is as unsustainable as it gets. But then that was the plan all along, to bankrupt the Western World and the U.S. in particular to empower a truly global government in the form of the U.N.

From Just the Facts:
"The Treasury report, quietly released in January, shows that if the federal government reported its finances in the same manner that large corporations are required by law to report theirs, the primary measure of federal red ink wouldn’t be $36 trillion in national debt but $143 trillion in debts, liabilities, and unfunded obligations.
This staggering figure equals 85% of all the wealth Americans have accumulated since the nation’s founding. It also equates to an average burden of $1.1 million on every household in the nation.
Unlike other measures of federal finances that cover an arbitrary period, extend into the infinite future, or ignore government assets, the figure of $143 trillion applies strictly to Americans who are alive right now and accounts for the value of the government’s commercial assets. Thus, it quantifies the full federal financial burden on today’s Americans.

Dirty Deeds Done Deep State
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Kent - Trump's nominee for director of the National Counterterrorism Center - told Congress in his confirmation hearings that National Intelligence is investigating the FBI for the dirty deeds done to President Trump and their election interference. And the January 6 self-guided Capitol tour.
Congress should have done this. The supposedly "free and independant" news media should have done this. But none chose to do it.
High time.

Election Insecurity

And they told us electronic ballots are secure and the election of 2020 was the most secure election in history...
"We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been
vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to
exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which
further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across
the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our
elections.”

Rising Polar Ice (Despite What the Media Claims)

Desperate State Of The Cryosphere
Posted on April 12, 2025 by Tony Heller
Over the last nine days, the surface of the Greenland ice sheet has gained 42 billion tons of new ice and snow. The increase in mass since September 1, 2024 is 530 billion tons, which 43 billion tons above the 1981-2010 average.
Surface Conditions: Polar Portal
Arctic sea ice is about the same as it was when George Bush Jr. was president.

There is more sea ice around Antarctica now than there was when Jimmy Carter was president.

Experts say Antarctic sea ice is both decreasing and increasing, both due to global warming.
"While Arctic ice is melting at a record pace, a team of NASA-led researchers say they can explain why Antarctic sea ice has been edging in the opposite direction. That paradox has puzzled scientists for years and given climate-change deniers fodder to dispute global warming.”

SCOTUS Blows It
Timothy Birdnow
SCOTUS has unanimously upheld a lower court ruling that made the Trump Administration bring back an El Salvador gangbanger to the U.S.
FTA:
Xinis was an Obama appointee.
The fact is Garcia had previously faced deportation for gang activity, and had a lengthy criminal record. He is not the snow-white angel he's being portrayed as (good father, Maryland boy who has a job, etc.) Anybody can father a child, and anybody can hold a job.
That the entire Supreme Court, including the conservative justices, voteed for this is horribly disappointing. Garcia is not a citizen and thus has no right to be here and the Administrtion has every right to remove him.
The reality is this is a separation of powers issue and a lower court has no right to intervene in this instance.
I don't know what happened to Clarence Thomas here; he must be getting senile.
The sad fact is we cannot rely on the Court to EVER do the right thing. SCOTUS needs to be circumvented as surely as any other partisan judicial court. I suspect the conservatives on the Court went along with this because they have some big cases coming and don't want to be accused of bias. They handed a minor win to the Left.
But right is right and this guy should never have been here in the first place. American law isn't for aliens to milk the country.
SCOTUS has unanimously upheld a lower court ruling that made the Trump Administration bring back an El Salvador gangbanger to the U.S.
FTA:
On Thursday the court ruled 9-0 that a lower court order telling the administration to bring Garcia back to the U.S. must stand.
"The order properly requires the Government to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador," read the Supreme Court ruling.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis had previously rejected the evidence the administration had presented that Garcia was a member of the criminal gang and ordered him returned.

Reining in Judges
Timothy Birdnow
The House is cracking down on rogue judges and their unlawful rulings.
No More Rogue Rulings: Housse Cracks Down on Anti-Trump Judges
Somehow I suspect the Senate will be a tougher sell. Bet Mitch McConnell votes against it.
The House is cracking down on rogue judges and their unlawful rulings.
No More Rogue Rulings: Housse Cracks Down on Anti-Trump Judges
The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed the "No Rogue Rulings Act,” a Republican-backed bill aimed at limiting the authority of federal district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions — a tool that has been frequently used to halt President Donald Trump’s policies.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), passed largely along party lines. Just one Republican joined all 212 Democrats in opposing the measure.
President Trump has endorsed my No Rogue Rulings bill – activist judges have been put on notice! pic.twitter.com/jOgcydRz5D
— Rep. Darrell Issa (@repdarrellissa) April 9, 2025
If signed into law, the legislation would prohibit federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, instead requiring that their rulings be limited to the specific plaintiffs involved in the case.
The move is intended to prevent individual judges from singlehandedly stopping the administration’s policies from taking effect across the entire country.
Issa pointed to a growing trend of lower court rulings that have interfered with the administration’s actions over the past two months. These include injunctions that have blocked Trump’s policies from proceeding while legal challenges move forward.

The Treason Network

Facebook Whistleblower Drops Nuke: Meta Gave CCP U.S. Tech Secrets
I hope Congress forces the vile corporation to break up.
Now you know why Zuckerberg suddenly sounds like Rupert Murdoch.
FTA:
"Sarah Wynn-Williams, META‘s former director of global public policy, dropped a devastating bombshell during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism this week.
Wynn-Williams, who has since become a whistleblower against the big tech giant, made a series of shocking allegations against her former employer.
The former META director claimed that her company briefed the Chinese Communist Party on advanced U.S. technologies—including AI—just to get a seat at Beijing’s lucrative tech table, while putting America at risk.
"These briefings focused on critical emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence – explicit goal being to help China outcompete American companies,” said Wynn-Williams, according to the New York Post.
"There’s a straight line you can draw from these briefings to the recent revelations that China is developing AI models for military use, relying on Meta’s Llama model,” she added.
On the surface, Project Aldrin was presented as Meta’s covert initiative to enter the Chinese market, but Wynn-Williams claimed there was much more to it.
Meta’s briefings helped the CCP by giving them insight into emerging technologies in the U.S., Wynn-Williams said.
She also revealed that Meta built a censorship engine for the CCP and took down accounts belonging to Chinese dissident Guo Wengui."

Bud Lite is Back
Timothy Birdnow
Bud Lite reclaims it's throne as America's favorite beer.
Bud Lite was in danger of being discontinued after AB Inbev made the fatal mistake of hiring tranny pretend-little girl Dylan Mulvaney to be it's spokesxi or spokesthey or whatever it wants to be called. But A-B seems to have learned their lesson, and have even stopped sponsoring gay pride parades and all the rest of the woke nonsense. So they water masquerading as beer has regained it's spot on top. (I don't see why; it's a terrible beer.)
Apparently Corona Extra was on top prior, and before that Modela - both Mexican brands. Now we are back to liking good old American pisswater instead of Mexican toilet fodder (Corona had a scandal years ago where the workers were urinating into vats of beer that were destined for export to the U.S.)
There is no accounting for taste. At least Americans are "buying American" again under MAGA. I remember when union folks pushed hard for that - now their unions want to be "citizens of the world".
Give me a Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada or one of our local products (like the Stubborn German in Waterloo Illinois) any day!

The Coming Plannedemic
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like they are going to try it again.
WHO Conducts a 2-Day Plandemic Simulation Called ‘Exercise Polaris’ – Bringing Together 350 Predatory Health Groups Worldwide
It was something that worked so well the first time they simply can't let it go. Like Global Warming, it's just too good a tool to retire.
BTW there were drills in October of 2019 about an ostensible covid pandemic that, surprise, surprise, turned very real within two months. (It was called Event201 and spearheaded by Johns-Hopkings.) Coincidence? With Trump defunding the World Health Organization they are going to do what it takes to cause a catastrophe'.

Horseplay

A horse is a horse of course, of course...
Wanted: Insane Asylums. Woman Believes She is Half Horse?
Is she hoping to pull a Catherine the Great? (Actually there is no evidence the randy Empress ever copulated with any stallion, but it makes a great story anyway.) At any rate thinking you are a horse, or a dog, or a dude when you are a girl is just plain nuts and we should lock such people away to avoid them hurting themselves.
In the modern West you can't claim to be Napoleon, or say an angel appeared to you, or the Virgin Mary, but you can say you are a seven year old girl when you are a fifty eight year old trucker. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, world.

The Price of Eggs in Chinatown
Timothy Birdnow
Consumer prices fell in March despite liberal prophecies that tariffs would lead to rising inflation for consumer goods and services.
Prices fell because of pro-growth policies by this administration. Tariffs are, after all, taxes on foreign goods and while there can be and will be some localized inflation in the end there are more than one fish in the sea and we can buy from somebody else for most of what we don't make here - and we are increasing the number of factories and workshops making these things in the U.S.
Historically inflation rarely has occurred after raising tariffs.
The Left wants us to think that is the case because they advocate corplorate taxes and income taxes which can be weaponized (and have been) to promote societal change. Tariffs are pretty straight forward and cannot be used to get into the pockets and homes of Americans.
America had ONLY tariffs and excise taxes until the Income Tax was passed as a Constitutional Amendment. Before that there was no direct taxation, and that kept the federal government in check as it was always underfunded. The income tax gave the feds unlimited money and hence unlimited power. And to make sure nobody suggested "going backwards" to the pre-income tax era they demonized tariffs so nobody would dare promote them.
I'm not saying tariffs are actually good - they are taxes, after all. But I am saying we need not fear them. I think the prices dropping last month is just more proof of that assertion. If we do see inflation it will be because of the Federal Reserve ramping up the money supply. The Fed and their control of the money supply is what determines inflation or deflation. Inflation is a monetary problem, not a trade problem or a taxation problem.
The Great Depression was caused not by tariffs (as so often claimed) or "speculation" but by the Federal Reserve contracting the money supply almot thirty percent in two years. They strangled the economy, and probably on purpose to drive social change. America made a great leap leftward during the Depression and Americans got used to the era of big government and intrusive federal powers. I do not think that was just a "happy accident". Fascism was on the rise in Europe then and had already been experimented with in America under Woodrow Wilson. The Fascists were in charge of the Federal Reserve and knew this was the way to turn America Brown. (commies loved it "first Brown then Red".)
So maybe we'll see some inflation down the road, but thus far the numbers look pretty positive for Trumpenomics.

Merry Old King Coal
Timothy Birdnow
Old King Coal is a merry old monarch these days as he has been restored to his throne!
Trump Launches Decisive Countersrike Against Democratic States Weaponized Courts Against Coal Experts
America is the absolute king of coal and is lousy with the stuff but we've strangled the industry over the last quarter century over this idiotic "climate change" nonsense. My home town of St. Louis was the undisputed capital of coal, hosting the two largest coal companies in the world - Peabody Energy and Arch Coal. Arch coal went bankerupt and then merged with Consol Energy and is now known as Core Natural Resources (and is based in Pennsylvania now). I wish Arch had held out a bit longer but such is life. At least they are still there in spirit. Peabody is still thriving.
There never was a great substitute for coal for certain things.
At any rate Trump signed a number of exucutive orders to boost our coal industry, and with more energy comes lower prices and the entire economy gets a big boost.
For decades we've been fighting with both hands tied behind our backs - using our shoulders and head and nothing more. Those days appear to be ending.

Make America Clean Again
Timothy Birdnow
An end to Biden's order restricting the flow of shower heads.
President Donald Trump Makes American Showers Great Again
Make America Clean Again (MACA)!
Low-flow showers and toilets were a munument to human stupidity. Most of America is NOT desert or water-restricted and there never was a logical reason to impose draconian water-saving methods on everyone. It was pure liberalism; one size fits all because "that's fair".
But you had to flush low-flow toilets five times to get your waste down, and the showers wouldn't clean the soap scum off of you. And all of this was because California refused to store enough water, preferring bait fish and snails to human beings. In recent years California has taken down multiple dams and let their water flow to the sea. Then, when it's too dry, they demand all of America restrict water usage because Californians could go buy toilets and shower heads in other states and we can't have THAT!
Now, I wonder how long before we can get our incandescent lightbulbs back? Make America Light Again (MALA)!
An end to Biden's order restricting the flow of shower heads.
President Donald Trump Makes American Showers Great Again
Make America Clean Again (MACA)!

Biden Colluded with Jack Smith
Timothy Birdnow
Yep - the Biden Administration illegally colluded with Jack Smith in his witch hunt to take out Donald Trump.
We all knew it but now there is confirming evidence.
How long before Pam Bondi starts filing charges?

Routh and Ukraine
Timothy Birdnow
Ifhe had a rocket launcher he could rule the world!
[lin=https://revolver.news/2025/04/mike-benzs-new-theory-about-trumps-would-be-assassin-changes-everything/]Mike Benzs New Theory About Trumps Would-Be Assassin Changes Everything
Ryan Routh tried to buy rocket launchers and missiles from the Ukrainians. He even tried to buy anti-aircraft missiles - and the Ukrainians were aware of it but didn't say anything.
Oh, and Routh appeared in a recruiting video for the neo-Nazi Azov Brigade, Ukraine's Brownshirts.
Mike Benz suspects elements in our own government had prior knowledtge of this. I've always believed this was a black op by the CIA,and apparently so does Benz.
MIKE BENZ ESTIMATES A 95% CHANCE THAT WOULD-BE TRUMP ASSASSIN ROUTH WAS WORKING FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

I've long theorized this was the case; Routh had all the appearance of a patsy for a government assassination plot.
We KNOW the CIA actively worked against Trump, and was part of the attempts to frame him. We KNOW they did this sort of thing overseas, and the "color revolutions" most especially the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, were engineered by the CIA. We KNOW the CIA ttraining manuals called for this sort of thing, using fall guys to hide their own complicity. And we know the Ukrainians supported Joe Biden and worked with him and other Democrats - especially Hillary Clinton, who started the whole "Russian collusion" hoax.
I don't think it's a matter of if but of how at this point. And who.
