CNN in Panic over Plan to Debank Illegals
Timothy Birdnow
This is how you do it; take away their ability to access the benefits of American society.
The deliciousness of this is this is exactly what the Biden Administration tried to do to Conservatives, who were native born citizens. They wanted to strip our ability to bank, to obtain loans and mortgages and otherwise financially destroy us. Now we are doing it to illegal aliens who have no business being here in the first place and CNN is freaking out because they know what this means. They were all for it when using it against US.
Not only would this defund illegal aliens it will close a lucrative avenue for money laundering that has been ongoing for years. Democrats were enjoying the fruits of this in Minneapolis, for instance, where Somali immigrants were stealing vast sums of money from taxpayers for "daycare" and laundering it to Somalia, and ultimately to the Democratic Party. Debanking them would make such an enterprise untenable and the good people at CNN know it, which is why they are so upset.
Banks have been partners in money-laundering of taxpayer dollars for years now. They have done that to stay on the good side of government regulators. Now those same regulators are no longer in the service of the Democrat's political machine.
This should have been done during the George W. Bush administration frankly. Bush let the Democrats build a vast political machine which scammed almost every aspect of our society, from illegal alien votes to vote fraud systems to laundering tax dollars to fund the political campaigns of Democrats and he just let them do it. He should have known better; Bill Clinton had been one of the architects of this machine and it almost cost Bush the election of 2000. After they lost they vowed never again and so really ramped up the system. It cost Trump his re-election. Had the Democrats run anyone but Hillary it would have cost him his first election too.
Political machines are extremely difficult to beat. And rarely are they broken up.
Trump is making a full court press, trying to break up the Democrat's political machine. It's not easy. It requires attacks on multiple fronts, from polling companies to banking to immigration to big pharma and big tech. It involves universities and teacher's unions. It involves governments great and small. We as a nation never realized just how vast the machine truly was. Now we are learning and it's staggering.
So Trump is trying to break it and that job won't get done in a few years. But it's a good start.
If we had truly free and fair elections in America Democrats would never get elected. The GOP really is the majority party. Well, actually MAGA is and the GOP struggles with kissing rear ends and doing what the base wants. But they are more likely to actually be elected than Democrats. Sadly they let the Democrats sew up the whole system and now Trump is trying to break the stranglehold.
This is certainly a good start.

(D)UMSL is Woke in Missouri
Timothy Birdnow
Open, blatant discrimination at the University of Missouri St. Louis.
UMSL is just down the road from downtown Ferguson.
The sad thing is this university is not under the control of St. Louis but of the state of Missouri, which is and has been solidly in the hands of the GOP.
From the Legal Insurrectionists:
It’s always of interest when we find open discrimination at public universities in red states that have taken a hard line on DEI. Our most recent filing was just such a case, on February 26, 2026, was against the University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL).
From the Civil Rights Complaint filed with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education:
We bring this civil rights complaint against the University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL) for offering, administering, and promoting twelve (12) scholarships that discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, and/or sex in violation of Title VI and Title IX, respectively….
The scholarships listed below are currently offered to UMSL students and applicants for admission, according to the UMSL website, and violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VI”) and its implementing regulations4 by discriminating against students based on their race and skin color, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX”) and its implementing regulations5 by discriminating against students based on their sex, or both.6 Because UMSL is a public university, these discriminatory scholarships also violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The article goes on to list these scholarships:
Rhonda Knehans-Drake Memorial Scholarship in Data AnalyticsPreference given to underrepresented minority groups
Sauter, Vicki Endowed Scholarship in Information Systems and TechnologyPreference given to underrepresented minority groups
Swain O’Leary Family Accounting ScholarshipSecond preference given to underrepresented minority groups
John Works Memorial Scholarship in HistoryRecipient to be a member of an underrepresented minority, who identified as African or African American
Randy Sanderson ScholarshipPreference given to African American studentsJacobs/Sverdrup Engineering ScholarshipPreference given to minority and women students
Harriett Woods Leadership ScholarshipPreference given to female students
The Hazel L. Kohring Scholarship for Women in TransitionCandidates to be displaced female students 25 years old or older
University of Missouri – St. Louis Women Scholarship FundPreferred candidate is a female student
Women in Chemistry ScholarshipPreference given to female students 25 years old or older
Elisabeth Horkits Scholarship FundPrimary consideration given to women
The Women of AT&T Foundation Endowed ScholarshipPreference given to female students
Why this desperation to bring women and minorities into fields? Why can't academia be satisfied with bringing the best and brightest into the fields and letting people work to that end? There is zero value in "diversity" as a goal of its; own.
When I was in college this whole "diversity" nonsense was gearing up and I knew then it was ridiculous. By "diversity" they meant minority, and of that only approved minorities. An Afrikaaner, say, would not make the cut as "diverse" because he was a white man. Neither would a Christian woman.
It has become so entrenched now that nobody ever bothers to question this assumption, that "diversity is our strength" when in fact diversity is rarely anybody's strength. America has done well DESPITE her diversity, and that because we always used to make people adopt American culture first. Now we don't and we are seeing the same problems that have plagued culturally diverse places like the Balkans.
That the state of Missouri would allow this is infuriating. What is the point of electing Republicans if they act like Democrats? Sadly Missouri's GOP are mostly RINO's and out for their own interests, little more. Few in the Missouri legislature actually try to move the ball forward. Heck; we can't even pass decent tax relief in this state, despite having all the branches of government and a supermajority in the legislature.
That's how you wind up with Democrats in control even when they are out of power; the Republicans are more about increasing their wealth than anything else.
Until we have men and women of character in office this will continue. Sadly I don't see many men or women of character stepping up to the plate, at least not here in the Shw Me State.

Another Activist Judge Makes a Bad Ruling
Timothy Birdnow
Trump-hating Judge Kollar-Kotelly strikes again, this time ruling the IRS illegally shared data with ICE to facilitate the arrest of dangerous illegal criminals.
Judge KK has been a favorite of Democrats employing lawfare to gum up the works and she has ruled against Trump in many other immigration cases, such as his executive order to require proof of citizenship to vote.
While she holds her current position thanks to Bill Clinton she was originally appointed to the bench by Ronald Reagan in one of his poorer appointments. (Remember, Reagan gave us Sandra Day O'Connor, among other disasters.)
So now this rogue judge is saying our government cannot share information because, like, it's totally bogus and stuff.
If you are here illegally you do not have any expectation of privacy.
I would ask, where was she when the Biden Administration was spying on Suzies Wiles or Kash Patel? We never heard any concerns about privacy from her then.
Maybe KK should hook up with Judge Jams Boasberg? They are a match made in Heaven, if you ask me.

Jack Smith Eavesdropped on Suzie Wiles
Timothy Birdnow
Jack Smith and the FBI secretly wiretapped Suzie Wiles, then a Trump aid and now Chief of Staff. Allegedly her attorney was aware they were listening but Suzie was not - the attorney denies this allegation (it is a serious offense that would lead to his disbarment at a minimum).
No judge would sing off on such an order; it violates the most basic protections offered to citizens. Conversations with your attorney are absolutely privileged.
The noose is tightening around Jack Smith's neck and I rather suspect he's going to be going to prison at some point. I hope fora along, long time; he's completely abused the public trust.

Is Spamberger a CIA Stooge?
Timothy Birdnow
Spamberger was a former CIA operative and we know the CIA has been meddling with American elections after all. Was she put in office by the CIA?

I already generated a dossier on Spanberger, but the most interesting part of it is that she is part of a cohort of 50+ military-intelligence veterans that have been recruited to run as Democratic candidates starting in 2018.
@SomeBitchIIKnow
first hypothesized this, but my new dossier pipeline independently captured them.
A Democrat retires. A CIA member takes over.
Spanberger is part of a much deeper, much more disturbing story here.

Well done! I have a request. At some point do the same for Abigail Spanberger. I believe she is much more likely to claim the 'moderate' lane in 2028, and I think this kind of deep dive would be 'interesting'.

Trump Approval Ratings High
Timothy Birdnow
According to Trafalgar Trump's approval rating is 50.k8% while his disapproval rating is just 46.7%. His "strongly approve rating is a whopping 47.1%.
This is well above average for this time in a President's term, either first or second.
Last year the media was crowing about Trump having low approval ratings, and even into this year. Trafalgar is one of the most accurate polling companies and they are saying Trump is slaying it.

Biden Flew Known Sex Offenders into America
Timothy Birdnow
The Biden Administration was letting illegals fly on commercial airlines. But here is the real kicker; sex offenders were allowed to board by PRESENTING THEIR SEX OFFENDER PAPERS to the authorities!
Yes, they were actually using their sex offender registrations to board flights into the U.S.!
Here is the statement by Breanna Morello:
Ever wondered how TSA was allowing illegal aliens to board commercial flights without IDs under the Biden regime?
Well I sued TSA to find out and learned that Biden’s DHS allowed CONVICTED sex offenders on to flights by showing their sex offender paperwork.
Predators were allowed into the country if they promised to take sexual deviancy counseling and register as a sex offender.
After suing TSA, I won and now the agency is covering my legal fees.
Currently, TSA says they can’t pay my lawyer right now due to the shut down.
The Biden Administration flew large numbers of illegals into the U.S. at a cost of $500 million, most of whom were sent to Florida and Texas - two states the Democrats desperately want to flip.
Here are the documents she found:

Foreign Affairs: Ukraine War Unwinnable
Timothy Birdnow
Foreign Affairs is the magazine of the Council on Foreign Relations, which is the ultimate internationalist/New World Order organization, the very people who promoted the Ukrainian war as a way to stop Russia from building their own power block and cutting out the NWO and European Union. Now they are admitting the truth.
This really isn't accurate; the war is actually lost, they are not just "losing" it. Only direct outside military intervention can change this fact.
This article is long but worth reading.
Essentially they are saying what I've been saying all along; there is mathematically no way for the Ukrainians to win. While Russia has expended a lot more effort than they thought they would have to they are still in the catbird seat because they have fought a war of attrition, slowly strangling the Ukrainians and it was guaranteed to work. Russia has an economy that is ten times the size of the Ukrain's. It has more troops, more drones, better weapons by and large, and more oil and gas to fuel the war machine.
Meanwhile the Ukrainians are growing increasingly desperate with many soldiers being shanghaied, impressed into service without so much as a "greetings" letter. Old men and teenagers are now being conscripted into service. And the cities are all starting to starve. A number of Ukrainian officials have been trying to sneak out of the country. It is the last stand, or soon will be anyway.
Ukraine's only option is to surrender territory, painful though that is. Had Zelensky not been such a horse's petunia over the last year or two and refused to cut a bad deal they wouldn't be at the point of losing as much. Being a leader oftentimes means having to take a bad deal rather than a worse one.
Will a surrender by Ukraine stop Russian aggression? Probably not, but the Russians need to buy time to rebuild. They will probably take a deal that is less to their liking than they could demand otherwise. But the Ukraine absolutely MUST have a cessation of hostilities; they are reaching the point of collapse and could well lose their whole country. What they need to do now is buy time - a lot of time. It's going to take several years to rebuild and rearm.
The sad thing is the Europeans kept pushing Zelensky to continue the fight with promises he would eventually get more troops from the West. It was a lie and always has been; the Europeans are constitutionally incapable of mounting so an effort anymore and so it all depended on the U.S. and there is no appetite among the American People to involve ourselves in a remote war in Eastern Europe that has nothing to do with us. Despite hysterical claims that Putin is Hitler (ridiculous on the face of it - Germany had been the most powerful European state and the most advanced in terms of technology and culture before wWI and even during the Depression it was a powerhouse despite being disarmed, unlike Russia which is a Third World country) the public realized that this has little to do with us. The Ukraine has always been a vassal of the Russians.
Granted, it would have been nice to sever that abusive spousal relationship. But at the cost of American lives?
Actually there are arguments to be made about saving Ukraine. It has oil. It has natural gas It is the breadbasket of Europe. It has rare earth elements. It is the natural pipeline for Asian oil and gas. It controls the Black Sea to a fair degree, and especially the approach leading to it's exit. But it's hard to convince Americans that the long-term strategic benefit of sending American troops into the region is worth it. And it is EXTREMELY difficult to risk a nuclear war with Russia (who has an arsenal that is both larger than ours and much newer) for oil and gas for the Europeans, who have never been grateful for anything we've done for them.
Only internationalists like the good folks at the Council on Foreign Relations want us involved in this war. Oh, and the Democrats and RINO Republicans.
As I have said previously, the way this war could have been ended was to defund Russia by driving the price of oil and gas down. Biden refused to do that, actually working to increase the price and thus make Russia flush with cash. Trump has been slowly but surely getting the price down but it has not been fast enough or low enough to REALLY hurt the Russians and it won't happen in enough time to save Ukraine. Trump is in a pickle; he needs prices to drop but not so low as to make American oil and gas uncompetitive. If prices drop too low our domestic oil industry will collapse and Trump knows it. He dare not move too quickly or too aggressively in this. (American oil has boomed because of Fracking, Hydraulic Fracturing, and that is a more expensive way to acquire it than just drilling into the ground and waiting for it to blow to the surface as they do in the Arab countries. The Russians don't use fracking so much but they do have very high drilling costs, what with their oil fields being in tundra and the like.)
The article states:
"Russia’s objectives seem reasonably compatible with its capabilities and trends on the battlefield. Ukraine’s objectives, in contrast, seem beyond its reach.”
And indeed that is so. That Foreign Affairs recognizes this is what is the real shocker.
It seems likely Ukraine will have to surrender all of Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk to get Putin to stop. Zelensky should have made a deal while he had the chance.
The article repeats the rather sad little mantra that "Russia is losing more troops than Ukraine" which I am fairly certain is nonsense, and in fact I think the Russian casualties being reported by the Western media are entirely the fiction coming from the Ukrainians themselves. Much like the claim of all the Palestinians who were supposedly dying from Israeli airstrikes during the war last year were numbers coming from the Palestinian Authority and not some objective third party. I have little doubt Russia is losing what we in the West would consider an unacceptable number but they are nowhere near exhausted and I am sure those numbers are far less than our media is reporting. I also suspect the Ukrainians are LOSING more than are being reported.
This war was always unwinnable and it could have been avoided through diplomacy. But the Biden Administration and the Europeans wanted this war in hopes of exhausting Russia and forcing her into the New World Order. How's THAT working out?
And while Trump has found ending this war far more difficult than he imagined I think he would have been able to prevent it in the first place before blood was spilled. Now both sides are entrenched; you can't help but be after so bloody and angry a conflict.
I suspect this war will continue until Russia is just about at the point of overrunning the whole country. Zelensky probably will have to be removed from office, or he will flee, and then and only then will the Ukrainians sue for peace.
It's sad; they wanted more - and deserved better. But they never accepted Russia's taking of Crimea and they, lie the toady of the big bully, felt strong with the backing of the West. Now they are learning a hard lesson about trusting in foreign protectors.
I will end this with a quick mention of Isaiah 30:1-5
"What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”says the Lord."You make plans that are contrary to mine.You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,thus piling up your sins.2 For without consulting me,you have gone down to Egypt for help.You have put your trust in Pharaoh’s protection.You have tried to hide in his shade.3 But by trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated,and by depending on him, you will be disgraced.4 For though his power extends to Zoanand his officials have arrived in Hanes,5 all who trust in him will be ashamed.He will not help you.Instead, he will disgrace you.”
Sounds a lot like what Ukraine did, trusting Europe and the United States to back them. It is never sound strategy to trust in foreign powers to keep you safe. Zelensky and the Ukrainian leadership should have understood that the assurances they were given were like the morning dew, evaporating in the heat of the day.

Target Gets Soaked Breaking Minneapolis Lease
Timothy Birdnow
Yikes! The Target corporation just plunked down $110 MILLION to break their lease in Minneapolis!
That's how bad it's gotten in Minneapolis!
Target's vast office facility was closed during Covid as employees worked from home, and while it reopened the corporation was only making employees show up three days a week. But the endless barrage of demands from radical groups has led to it's final closure as Target skuTalks out of town, tail between their legs.
This is what you get for trying to appease the Woke crowd; they will eat their own.
Target has been at the forefront of most of the woke corporate nonsense and ] that way. Their policy in letting trans men into women's bathrooms and dressing rooms cost them dearly.
And once you go woke you can never go back. The Anti-Ice movement was pressuring them hard and they are now realizing how difficult it is to walk away from the radicals Sell your soul to the Devil and you will pay a dear price to get it back.
At any rate I'm glad they are being taught this lesson in so painful a manner; they had forgotten who their customers were - and their stockholders. Go woke go broke!

Oklahoma RINO: Dems Don't Want the Great Replacement
Timothy Birdnow
With friends like these...
Oklahoma is arguably the most Conservative state in the Union.
How does this Stitt for Brains guy explain their rather transparent and desperate desire to bring in more illegals and "regularize" them? This is one of the Democrat's top priorities despite the fact it polls extremely poorly with the general public. How does this guy explain that?
"Even my Democrat governor colleagues, they’re not trying to get illegals here to turn them into voters. I don’t believe that’s what Democrat politicians are trying to do,”
Then what pay tell Kevin Stitt ARE they trying to do?
Stitt has come out as a Nevertrumperteer and he wants to play paddycake with Democrats to "restore integrity".
Schumer and Pelosi are both on record saying they want to legalize all illegal aliens who are here. Why? What value is there to the Democrats in this? Is it just they have such big hearts?
I don't know why it's so hard to find men of character to run for public office on the Republican side. They are out there. Of course there ARE no people of character, not men nor women nor xi, in the Democrats, but a Republican who is elevated to the candidate for Governor of Oklahoma should not be such a fool. Nor such a political opportunist; this guy is building bridges with the old RINO coalition on the theory that Trump won't be there forever and the "natural order" will resume once he's gone. It's a fair bet too. Otherwise he wouldn't be where he is at present.
Guys like this are just parasites, feeding off the dying America.
Until we rid ourselves of this type of Republican we ae going to suffer. It's why American has slidden into the morass.
Thank God this guy is term-limited.

Hillary Weasels Out
Timothy Birdnow
Watch as Hillary leaves the room almost immediately after beibg asked why Ghislaine Maxwell was at her daughter's wedding.
When a reporter for Sky News asks her about it she gives a quick answer which answers nothing - she says Maxwell was the plus one of a guest and then turns and leaves.
This of course raises more questions than it answers. The guest of whom? This was already after the indictment of Epstein and Maxwell was under investigation.
What's fun about this is that Hillary was all jacked up about coming to Congress to testify and she proclaimed how she was open to utter transparency (after being forced to show up under threat of Contempt) and then she won't be transparent in this.
The Clintons have a diabolical ability to slither out of trouble. But at some point they won't be able to get away with it any longer. In the end Justice will be served - by God if not man

The Road to Fascism
Timothy Birdnow
It's only logical:
Devon Eriksen
@Devon_Eriksen_
If you repeatedly tell people they can't have the basic requirements of the good life, such as "not being murdered by drug gangs", because that's fascism...
Then pretty soon they will conclude that fascism is the way to get those things, and it sounds like an excellent idea. https://x.com/ctizzie/status/ctizzie/status/2025989507003154678

Trump Gaining Ground with Black Voters
Timothy Birdnow
This study was done by a consortium of black and Leftist voting organizations including SEIU and Way to Win and the Black Opposition Project.
It found that black voters, even opponents of the President, are on board with his policies, or nearly enough.
FTA:
Woodbury said the share of Black people who took concrete action to resist Trump — including voting, protesting or signing a petition — had dropped from 2020, from 34% to 28%. That drop was concentrated among younger Black men, he said, an alarming trend for a group that showed a small but significant shift toward Trump in 2024.
According to the research, 41% of this group (defined as Black men under 50) thought Trump’s policies had hurt them. That’s a much lower share than other groups of Black voters, including men over 50, 68% of whom said the president had negatively affected them.
Nearly one-in-five young Black voters, or 17%, said Trump’s policies had helped them, more than double any other group surveyed.
"My warning to Democrats has been what it’s always been, and that is that these are swing voters,” Woodbury said. "They swung in ‘24, they swung back in ‘25, but in 2026 they have the risk of swinging again.”
As things get better for them under Trump they are starting to realize that the Democrats never had their interests at heart, but rather wanted simply to use them as cannon fodder. It is now dawning on them they have always been the expendables.
If the GOP picks up an extra five percent of the black vote they will win.
Suck on that Haakim and Chuck You!

Iran Didn't Attack Us?!
Timothy Birdnow
Ths is one of the stupidest statements I have ever read, and it comes from American Thinker.
When you get right down to it, there really is no good reason to pre-emptively attack Iran, which has never attacked the U.S. and has no immediate capability to do so. When you cut through the excuses, it’s basically because Iran has a repressive, fundamentalist theocratic government, and we don’t like that.
end
Whatever you think about the prospects of us attacking Iran this is an incredibly ignorant and myopic paragraph. No good reason to attack Iran? We've had nothing BUT good reasons to attack Iran, going all the way back to their seizure of our embassy in the late seventies. We never punished them for that. And how many terrorist attacks have the Iranians had a hand in against us?
Here is a list of attacks by Iran and her terrorist proxies since 1979.
So that claim is pure nonsense. But what of the claim Iran has no ability to do so? Does he not know Hizbollah is still around? That in fact Iran sent hundreds of terrorists to the United States and in fact the assassination attempt on Pesident Trump (that almost succeeded) may well have been orchestrated by Iran?
Attacks are not always with missiles.
Furthermore, claiming there is no good reason to attack Iran is just idiotic; there are GREAT reasons to attack Iran. If nothing else it would be worthwhile to topple the Mullahcracy. Certainly no replacement government would be any worse.
As I say, there are reasons that can be given to not attack Iran. But if someone wants to post in American Thinker they should at least post something that makes a lick of sense.
"So what if they do, though? When did it become our business to depose foreign governments we deem "repressive”?"
end
We've always claimed that right from the time of the Tripolitan War onward (what does he think we were doing in Libya but attempting to topple a repressive regime). We generally don't take those steps unless they pose a direct threat to us, which Iran clearly does. Even though we stopped their nuclear program for the moment they have vowed to restart it and are actually already trying to rebuild. And they still spend money to fund terrorism against us and against Israel.
He goes on to blame Woodrow Wilson and says military intervention was his idea, which is as ahistorical as it gets. Has he never heard of the Mexican war? The Texas revolution? The Revolution and creation of the Republic of West Florida? The Spanish American war?
He is correct in that we had no business getting involved in WWI, but that is beside the point. We were doing this well before the War to End All Wars.
Furthermore the author confuses the wars America fought and losing the peace, as was done in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why did we lose the peace? Because we thought to remake the nations we invaded (and we did that with ground assaults; we have happily bombed countries for a hundred years and never had much of a problem) and that didn't work because these people were not just Americans with funny accents. I remember Sean Hannity talking about the "yearning to be free" and other such American shibboleths which were not applicable. We always thought we had to not just win the war but then stay and show what nice fellows we are.
What we should have done in Iraq was support whoever could bring order. We didn't do that.
The fact is we've had all sorts of successful interventions in foreign countries over the century. Look at Chile' where we kicked the Communist out.
Taking action against a nation that regularly chants "death to America" is as conservative as it gets. Lefties like to chant that stuff too.
The Iranians have a missile they call "the Ambassador of Death". I say let's show 'em some real Wild West diplomacy, shall we!
Oh, he also quotes Founding Fathers on avoiding foreign entanglements. Fine and dandy but the fact is that was when America had three million people spread across the whole eastern seaboard and our nearest enemy was all the way across the Atlantic. A different policy for a different age. When times change you either change or go under. This author des not seem to understand that this is a whole different era with different conditions.
Again, I can see where people don't want to get into another war, and there is a case to be made to NOT attack Iran, but at least make sense with it. This thing was pure sophistry and unfitting for American Thinker.

FBI Spied on Patel

The FBI was operating more like the Stasi than a law enforcement agency under Biden.
