Agreement to Purge NC Voter Rolls
Timothy Birdnow
Well goooollleeey! I thought non-citizens never voted!
The state of North Carolina continued to leave people on the voers rolls despite them admitting they were non-citizens who were not entitled to vote. This agreement would make the state remove them.
That's what the Democrats call "voter suppression".

Marc Elias Fears Todd Blanche
Timothy Birdnow
Marc Alias, one of the worst of the worst Democrat operatives in America, is terrified of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and he made no bones about it in a recent interview.
Elias is the guy who created the Steele Dossier to smear then-candidate Trump as a "Russian asset".
Elias has the gall to complain about the firing of some of these deep state operatives in the DOJ for working with Jack Smith, after what they tried to do to Mr. Trump. (BTW government lawyers work at the pleasure of the President and Mr. Clinton fired all U.S. attorneys when he took office, I might add.)
Elias said:
"It’s a very, very, very dangerous day in democracy here, its not just that we have a madman conducting our foreign policy. We have a dictator surrounded by sycophants who are using the power of the state, the power of the federal government to target his political opponents and his political adversaries. And as we head towards elections, we should just expect a lot more of this.”
And yet Mr. Elias is still walking around free and hasn't been killed by a stray bullet or died after eating out or whatnot. Odd way to run a dictatorship.
Elias is one of the worst, most dangerous men in America. If HE fears Todd Blanche then we are in good hands.
He should fear whoever is running the DOJ because he has repeatedly broken the law and justice may be slow but it comes eventually.

The Government Plot to Censor Free Speech
Timothy Birdnow
How an Obama-era creation targeted The Blaze media outlet in using a counter-terrorism program to suppress free speech in the United States.
Yes, they actually did that.
Like the Devil this organization has gone by many names, starting out as the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications and then being known as the Gobal Engagement Center, and finally the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Hub.. President Trump finally killed the accursed thing in his second term.
From the article:
Prior to negotiating a deal with the State Department and settling the case last week, the Federalist obtained discovery evidence confirming that the Global Engagement Center had regularly backed and promoted censorial technologies including NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index.
Blaze Media previously reported that NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index generated blacklists of supposedly risky or misleading news outfits with the aim of getting them demonetized and directing funds to news organizations that advanced establishment narratives.
In the Global Disinformation Index's fall 2022 report, for example, NPR, the Washington Post, and other liberal news outfits were labeled as the "least risky sites," whereas Blaze Media, Reason, the Federalist, the Daily Wire, the New York Post, and other conservative publications made the top 10 list of "riskiest sites" and were smeared as having the "greatest level of disinformation risk."
It turns out that Blaze Media was targeted for more than just a blacklist.
In an August 2020 press release, NewsGuard showcased that it and two other technology companies — PeakMetrics and Omelas — had won a $25,000 contract earlier that year offered jointly by the State Department and the Pentagon to develop solutions that would help the departments evaluate "disinformation narrative themes in near real time 'by identifying online sources spreading COVID-19 disinformation or misinformation narratives.'"
The Federalist obtained evidence that these Global Engagement Center-funded companies ran a test from Dec. 14, 2020, until Jan. 7, 2021, wherein Blaze Media was apparently a featured target.
The Global Engagement Center reportedly explained ahead of time that the test would entail PeakMetrics "first identify[ing] popular yet potentially divisive narratives relevant to the U.S. elections that are trending across channels."
Omelas, in turn, was supposed to provide "evidence of direct attribution of these narratives to state-sponsored sources of disinformation."
After PeakMetrics and Omelas assessed which narratives were becoming "integrated into domestic messaging," NewsGuard "would highlight which sites the narratives continue to surface from and 'provide information on the reliability, popularity, and endurance of the sites and dissemination platforms,'" reported the Federalist.
This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment and it should have gotten a lot of people tossed in jail. Of course they are all still out there enjoying their ill-gotten gains.
If America is "home of the free" then it cannot have such abuse by it's governmet of media outlets and the people who seek those outlets out. It's disgraceful.
And the Left calls defunding PBS "censorship" when in fact they are quick to censor actual information which hurts their political power.

Trump killing Start/Stop System on Cars
Timothy Birdnow
Thank the good Lord for this! This is a huge pain in the posterior!
Obama forced the hated start/stop feature on new cars, where they literally shut off when the car stops, as at red lights.
It's a terrible idea that is hard on the engine and means you can't get off the line quickly in traffic.
Thanks to an Obama credit to manufacturers this feature - on fewer than 1% of cars prior, rose to 59% of all new cars by 2024.
So Trump has eliminated the credit and told manufacturers to give the People what they want - a vehicle that runs smoothly and has acceleration.
I've never owned one but I imagine a very cold day in a heavy traffic area would be a nightmare.
As they article points out the air conditioning shuts down at every red light. So I assume the engine would never warm up on a cold day either.
This is a terrible idea whose time is well past.

The Madness of Tucker
Timothy Birdnow
Tucker Carlson has gone insane. What has that guy been injecting into his arm?
Like all turncoats (think Benedict Arnold) Mr. Carlson has lost all credibility and now nobody trusts him or listens to him anymore. He's trying to get in good with the Left so he can stay on television and keep his fame going (it's been a bit more than 15 minutes but it's running out now). But the Left will never trust him and he's burned his bridges with the Right.
Benedict Arnold, despite being given a commission in the British army, never commanded any troops again; the British simply couldn't trust him. In the end he died largely penniless in London, a stranger in a foreign land. His sad end is pretty normal for guys who pull this kind of thing. Tucker Carlson will be no different.

San Francisco Judge Blocks Hegseth from Ditching Anthropic
Timothy Birdnow
This judge has zero authority in this matter.
The military has every right and indeed a duty to not use a company it fears may be compromised. This case should not even have been heard; this is a national security matter, outside of the province of the judiciary.

Russia Evacuates Nuclear Scientists from Iran
Timothy Birdnow
So why were Russian nuclear scientists in Iran? Could it be to help them develop a nuclear device?
Threatening to flatten the entire country appears to have worked. At least it chased out the people who could have given Iran the doomsday device.

Panama Canal Bridge Blown
Timothy Birdnow
Iran or China?
Both would have a reason to try to close the canal. Iran more than China, but the Chicoms are mad about losing control of the canal to the U.S.
Do note this in no way imperils the canal itself but it does hurt Panama, cutting the capital off from the western part of the country. That seems like the kind of thing the Chicoms would do; it's to punish Panama as opposed to closing the canal. Iran would want to close the canal.
Any way you slice it I seriously doubt this was just an accident.

A Republican Amnesty Plan for Illegal Aliens
Timothy Birdnow
You would think after the election of Dobald Trump that the Republicans at least would have learned that amnesty is despised by the public yet here we are with an amnesty plan coming from Republicans.
This scheme - being introduced by Republican rep. Maria Elvira Salaza, is and Mike Lawler being referred to as the DIGNITY ACT but it's actual name is the Dignidad Act, and the name alone is insultingly Espaniole.
It will allow illegal aliens to stay in the U.S. and get work permits if they pay a fine aka it's an amnesty.
Sadly a bunch of Republicans have signed on to this:
H.R. 4393 DIGNIDAD Act
California (CA)
• Rep. David G. Valadao (CA-22)
• Rep. Young Kim (CA-40)
Colorado (CO)
• Rep. Gabe Evans (CO-8)
Florida (FL)
• Rep. María Elvira Salazar (FL-27)
• Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (FL-26)
• Rep. Neal P. Dunn (FL-2)
Iowa (IA)
• Rep. Zachary Nunn (IA-3)
Indiana (IN)
• Rep. Marlin A. Stutzman (IN-3)
• Rep. James R. Baird (IN-4)
Nebraska (NE)
• Rep. Don Bacon (NE-2)
New York (NY)
• Rep. Michael Lawler (NY-17)
• Rep. Nick LaLota (NY-1)
Pennsylvania (PA)
• Rep. Mike Kelly (PA-16)
• Rep. Brian K. Fitzpatrick (PA-1)
• Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-11)
Texas (TX)
• Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX-15)
Virginia (VA)
• Rep. Jennifer A. Kiggans (VA-2)
Washington (WA)
• Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-4)
This is just mind-boggling; the American public HATES illegal immigration and has demanded we put an end to it. Over eighty percent of the public opposes amnesty according to almost all polls - a monumental figure. Yet here we have the REPUBLICANS supporting an amnesty, an amnesty that will give the Democrats a big boost in political power. This after seeing how support for border security and the rest has been wildly popular and taken the GOP from losers to winners.
They are either insane or traitors - take your pick.
The old Establishment Republican Party was enthusiastically in favor of amnesty, you may remember. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wanted it, for instance, and the Republicans wanted their money. So they supported something that was killing the United States and killing their own party and apparently are still willing to do so.
This proves that we still have a lot of work to do to secure the GOP. It is still full of Quislings and traitors and self-seeking scoundrels who do not care about America but only about lining their own pockets.

Jersey Democrats Melt Down at USPS Over Mail in Voting
Timothy Birdnow
New Jersey Democrats - all of them - sent a letter to the United States Postal Service demanding they ignore President Trump's executive order directing them to only deliver mail in ballots to verified U.S. citizens.
Seems the idea of only allowing citizens to vote is too much for them. Now why do you suppose that is?

Solar Storms Trigger Earthquakes
Timothy Birdnow
There is a connection between solar flares and earthquakes.
Researchers at Kyoto University found there was a link between these flares and earthquakes and that because the delicate balance in forces inside the Earth were being pushed by magnetic resonance.
So, if these storms cause Earthquakes are they perhaps also causing the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide? We've seen a decided uptik in solar storms in recent years, especially after 2008, but going well back before (in 1989 a big solar storm knocked out Quebec's power grid, for instance). If these storms trigger quakes, why wouldn't they trigger outgassing of carbon dioxide?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Oceans Healthier than Ever
Timothy Birdnow
Researchers at the University of Washington Seattle came up with simple yet brilliant idea o how to track ocean health - they opened old cans of salmon and counted the worms imbedded in the seafood.
These worms - anisakids - are often present in such fish and do not pose a health hazard to consumers.
So why do it? The researchers figured that the presence of these parasites would give us a glimpse into ocean health; a healthier ocean would probably see more of these little parasites than an unhealthy ocean.
So what did they find?
"The team's findings, published in Ecology & Evolution, showed that anisakid levels increased in chum and pink salmon between 1979 and 2021. In coho and sockeye salmon, parasite levels remained steady.
"Anisakids have a complex life cycle that requires many types of hosts," said Mastick, who is lead author on the paper. "Seeing their numbers rise over time, as we did with pink and chum salmon, indicates that these parasites were able to find all the right hosts and reproduce. That could indicate a stable or recovering ecosystem, with enough of the right hosts for anisakids."'
Which means the oceans have been getting healthier DESPITE rising carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere (and supposedly in her oceans). So what does that tell us class? If anything carbon dioxide is GOOD for the biosphere!
At a minimum it tells us the panic over rising carbon dioxide levels is overblown and that it's certainly good for these little worms.
We we're told that ocean acidification was killing all the marine life but it appears to be just the opposite; plenty of worms and plenty of hosts for those worms. It's a golden age in the sea for salmon, anyway, and the worms they carry.
Just one more piece of evidence against the panic-laden climate change hysteria. I almost feel sorry for the alarmists; nothing predicted by their theory has come to pass.

Microplastic Contamination Caused by Lab Gloves
Timothy Birdnow
Hew boy! Science is being done by middle schoolers these days it seems!
So all this hysteria over microplastics may stem from procedural errors involving their lab gloves!
The summary:
March 29, 2026Source:University of MichiganSummary:Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves. A University of Michigan study found that common nitrile and latex gloves release tiny particles called stearates, which closely resemble microplastics and can contaminate samples during testing. In some cases, this led to wildly exaggerated results, forcing researchers to track down the unexpected culprit.

No, Trump isn't Going to Nuke Iran
Timothy Birdnow
If these people - especially those on the Right - don't understand Trump's way of speaking and of negotiating by now they never will get it. This is why we fail; too many on our side are just stupid.
Anyone who knows anything about Trump knows this is the way he negotiates; the carrot and the stick. As he's dealing with people who have accepted multiple deaths of their own people to cling to power Trump has to menace them.
Infowars isn't the only one saying this; I found stories in multiple Conservative sites warning Trump is insane and warning he's going to nuke Iran. Marjorie Taylor Green (who herself has gone mad) called for Trump to be removed based on the 25th Amendment, for instance.
Trump has read his Sun Tzu and he understands that unpredictability is a great strength. Trump makes himself unpredictable. And these kinds of threats are designed to force the Mullahs hands one way or another - thus Trump controls the action, choosing time and place and forcing the Mullahs to commit to a course of action and to stick their necks out long enough for him to take more of them out. Now they are all cowering in their bunkers - he is flushing them out with this.
Everyone who knows anything about Trump should understand that about him, but sadly so many still fail to grasp this simple fact.
I would add during WWII Roosevelt never promised to save the nations we were at war with; instead he promised to wipe them out. He did too; it took Germany decades to recover, even with the Marshall Plan. Ditto Japan, which was still largely in tact although we had firebombed Tokyo and blew up two cities with the first nuclear weapons.
But our modern tender sensibilities are such we recoil from even a bit of hyperbolic threat. What a bunch of weenies we've become!
No, Trump isn't going to nuke Iran. He doesn't have to; conventional weapons will knock them out just as easily.
I despair for America that so many are so foolish.
No, Trump isn't going to nuke Iran - he just wants them to think he is.

Kent Beclowns Himself
Timothy Birdnow
Thank God this jackass is no longer in a position of trust.
The leaky Mr. Kent shows his true Nevertrump colors here.
Kent made these remarks to Jake "the Snake" Tapper, building on a tweet in which he quoted Iranian media reports that claimed Trump was trying to kill the downed airmen.
This guy is a disgrace.

DHS May Pull Out of Airports in Sanctuary Jurisdictions
Timothy Birdnow
While I approve the sentiment I am not too fond of this plan:
Open Source Intel@Osint613DHS Secretary Mullin raises the possibility of pulling CBP and customs officers from airports in large sanctuary cities, citing lack of cooperation with the federal government and funding refusals.
International arrivals would be unable to clear customs at those airports.
"It’s something we’re looking at,” Mullin said.
You can't punish innocent travelers to spite the jackasses in these sanctuary areas, and all that would need to happen is one terrorist attack and the Administration would receive the blame.
There are better options, I am sure.
Also, I doubt it would pass court muster.

Kurds Steal Guns Meant for Iranian People
Timothy Birdnow
President Trump tried to send weapons to the Iranian people through the Kurds and the Kurds just kept them for themselves thus dooming any Iranian uprising against the regime.
You can't trust anyone over there!
We've been told repeatedly that the Kurds were honorable and our friends but when we needed them to step up they screwed us. President Trump promises to punish them.
The plan was for the Kurds to not only give the weapons to the Iranians but to launch an invasion of western Iran to disrupt and distract the government there. The Kurds failed to do either.
That was Trump's plan to overthrow the Mullahs and it has now failed not because it wasn't a good one but because our "friends" are simply dirtbags.
Now the President has no choice but use military power to destroy the infrastructure there. His options are far more limited than they were just a couple of weeks ago.

Johnson Turns Chicken
Timothy Birdnow
The rats are starting to jump ship.
First, we may not be at war with the Iranian People but we are at war with their government, and that is a difference without that much of a distinction. It is quite unfortunate that they may be caught in the crossfire but that is what happens in war.
Second we are not at war to "liberate the Iranian People" - Trump has been crystal clear about why we are at war. We are at war to prevent the terror masters in Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which they will use as soon as they have it. As an corollary to that we are threatening to bomb Iran's infrastructure because killing the top leadership has seemed to fail to properly motivate the government there and they have closed the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting the world's flow of energy. One of Trump's demands is that they allow shipping to resume.
While Mr. Trump would like to help the Iranian People it's not his top priority.
So what exactly does Sen. Johnson suggest Trump do? He reminds me of an episode of The Simpsons where Homer is drinking slurpees straight from the tap in the Quickie Mart and Apu, the owner, threatens him "I have asked you nicely to stop and you refuse. You leave me no choice but to ask you nicely again".
That appears to be Sen. Johnson's strategy in dealing with the Mullahs.
The Iranian leadership's strategy is patently obvious and it may yet work. They are buying time. They saw what happened with this partial government shutdown as the Democrats just stuck to their guns and refused to cut a deal and eventually the GOP caved, as usual. They know the GOP is chock-full of knock-kneed cowards. And they know the elections are coming in November and the Republicans are going to be increasingly frightened as that time nears if this thing isn't over. So the Mullahs are playing for time, dragging this out. I suspect they will have another big breakthrough just as Trump is about to start the bombing, then renege on it.
They know they will get people like Johnson to carry their water.
NOT taking this action is a disservice to the Iranian People because it cements the regime in power. Johnson should know that.
So what does he propose we do? If he has a better idea he should brig it forward. It's easy to criticize when you aren't the one who has to take the heat for it.
Oh, wait; here's his answer:
"They ought to be putting pressure on their client states to open up the strait to everybody," Johnson said. "Your freedom of navigation. That's what the American Navy has done for 75-80 years. We've assured freedom of navigation, which has opened up the world economy. That is a principle that still has to be upheld, but the world has to be engaged in that."
What does Johnson think Trump's been doing all along? He's been putting pressure on our erstwhile allies to step up and they haven't been willing to do that.
This is simply egregious armchair quarterbacking by a guy who wants to get some good press at the expense of the Administration and the nation.
It's guys like this that make us question the whole point of electing Republicans. We put them in and then they turn on us when it's convenient. Johnson is actually one of the better Republicans too, and he may actually believe what he is saying, but he's simply a fool. This is nothing but pandering to easy shibboleths that have no concrete, constructive benefits.
We are at WAR, even if there is no formal declaration from Congress (something that couldn't possibly happen with the Democratic Party hating the President more than they love America). Wars are messy and people get killed and stuff gets smashed. Going after infrastructure is necessary on occasion. Or did we win the Second World War without bombing German and Japanese infrastructure? Shoot; we firebombed the daylights out of Tokyo and incinerated two other Japanese cities with nuclear weapons. If Ron Johnson had been a Senator then would he have called for a "kinder, gentler" approach to fighting the Japanese? Probably, but we would have lost the war. Wars aren't won by winning hearts and minds; they are won by crushing the enemy to the point they realize there is no hope of winning. That has been the great fallacy in modern times, that you win wars but building hospitals and schools. You don't and Iraq should have taught us that.
I cannot fathom how the Republicans became such timid, pucillanimous craven cowards but they are and that will be America's undoing. Nobody expects rationality from the Democrats, not anymore, but the Republicans have a duty to protect this country not just from the Democrats but from foreign threats and they are just unwilling to do the hard work of leading. If they don't want to do the right thing they should leave Congress and let those willing to step up take their places.
Of course most of them aren't there to lead but rather to enjoy the perks and fame that comes with power. Nobody ever made work a part of the deal.
Ron Johnson and the others in the GOP remind me of this.
