European Black Out
Timothy Birdnow
So, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) as well as a large part of France has gone dark.
Huge power outage strikes Spain, Portugal and France: Entire cities plunged into blackouts, transport networks shut down and internet is cut off in scenes of mayhem
Wanna bet it's tied to "renewable energy" so beloved by Europe? Anybody?
This is where the enviromentalists want us to go.

Proof of Media Bias
Timothy Birdnow
Who ever doubted it would be so?
TV News Assaults 2nd Trump Admin with 92% Negative Coverage
It's interesting to compare him to Joe Biden. According to the Pew Research Center after Biden's first hundred days he enjoyed a much, much better story favorability:
What can we say? We've long known the news media is biased and lies. But it's nice to have rock-solid proof of that fact.

It's interesting to compare him to Joe Biden. According to the Pew Research Center after Biden's first hundred days he enjoyed a much, much better story favorability:
"Overall, 32% of stories about the Biden administration had a negative assessment, while 23% had a positive one and 45% were neither positive nor negative/"

Wicklesspedia

Trump is doing something long, long overdue; he's sending the DOJ after the very biased and tax exempt Wikipedia.
Wikipedia has been at the forefront of fake news for years now and has had a free hand in lying to the American (nay, the world's) People. It's time they start paying their fair share of taxes at a minimum.

The Real Rulers of America
Timothy Birdnow
This is what Trump is up against.
FTA:
Meanwhile Project Vertias ran a sting which showed how deep the problem is embedded in the Bureaucracy:
These people plan to just wait Trump out, sabotage him where they can, and simply take back their rightful positions are the secret rulers of America as soon as the Trump storm passes.
We need to change the laws to allow the President to fire anyone who is part of the federal government with or without cause; the current laws make it impossible to remove these jackalls.
This is why, despite Republicans holding the Presidency more than Democrats since 1968, the government has grown increasingly leftist. The President isn't in charge of his own department - the bureaucrats are.
This is what Trump is up against.
FTA:
"New evidence shows that a significant number of federal government employees are openly resisting President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a recently released survey and undercover video footage.
A survey conducted by the Napolitan Institute and pollster Scott Rasmussen, released last week, found that only 16% of government managers who voted for Kamala Harris in the last election would be willing to follow a legal order from President Trump if they personally disagreed with it.
Meanwhile, 76% of federal government managers who voted for Harris stated they would actively resist the Trump administration’s policies.

"In videos released on April 1, Project Veritas captured State Department foreign service officer Anthony Abate describing how DEI initiatives continued under different names despite executive orders targeting such programs.
"They like canceled DEI stuff, but people just like did it and called it something else,” Abate said, noting that terms like "multicultural activities” and "team building” were used as substitutes.
Renato Braghiere, a climate research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, told an undercover journalist that proposals are being reworded to avoid terms disfavored by the administration.

State Dept. Funded Soros
Timothy Birdnow
America has been funding her own destruction via our government all along.
State Department Committed Over $11 Million Directly to Soros’ "Open Society" Groups
Soros "Open Society" has only one goal -to sow chaos in order to overthrow the established order and create a world girdling socialist state. And taxpayers were unwittingly funding it.
People need to go to jail for this.

NO (More) Canada
Timothy Birdnow
Oh (no) Canada!
Liberals Win Canada's Federal Election
The Canadians deserve what they get. They love playing with democratic socialism (an oxymoron) so much they are prepared to be poor and overrun by aliens and maybe wind up becoming U.S. territory rather than just get their own house in order.

ANOTHER Impeachment of Trump
Timothy Birdnow
I'm amazed; it took them a hundred days!
Michigan Democrat Nobody Has Ever Heard of Files Impeachment Articles Against Trump
Last time they filed articles on Jan. 11, 2021 - House Resolution 24. This time they waited a hundred days!
The Democrats are just becoming boring at this point. This is like watching a rerun for the fourth time of a show that wasn't that interesting in the first place.
Shows how desperate they've become.
Maybe they can Robert Mueller to come back for an encore', or perhaps John Brennan and James Comey!
Nostalgia is fine but it sure bores after a while.

One Nuclear War Can Ruin Your Day
Timothy Birdnow
Tyler Durden at Zerohedge analyzes the risk of nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
FTA:
While a nuclear exchange would probably be limited (as long as China stayed out, and the Russians too) it could still cause environmental damage and would seriously disrupt supply chains around the world. There won't be a "nuclear winter" as that concept has been solidly disproven (even though the Left keeps trying to bring it back) there might be a nuclear autumn. The Gang Green should like that! Fewer people on Earth and a cooler climate!
Any way you slice it this would be bad, very bad.
Tyler Durden at Zerohedge analyzes the risk of nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
FTA:
Hostilities between India and Pakistan have intensified after a deadly militant attack in the contested Kashmir region killed twenty-six people. New Delhi has blamed its neighbor for the attack, but Islamabad has denied any involvement. The incident has sparked a series of smaller military engagements along the Indian border and the Indian government has ordered all Pakistani visitors in India to leave by April 29th. It has also threatened to block or divert water supplies from the Indus River system, which support 80% of Pakistan’s agriculture.
The Indus Water Treaty – which was brokered by the World Bank in September 1960 – determined the rights and obligations of Pakistan and India concerning the use of waters of the Indus River system. The agreement has stood the test of time and has long been hailed as a rare example of cooperation between the two ideologically opposed nations. India’s unilateral suspension of the treaty is being called an "act of war” by Pakistan.
Geopolitical strategists say the move "calculated” – Any diversion of Pakistan’s water supply could trigger famine and civil unrest in the already unstable region. Internal strife has been simmering after Pakistan’s current government arrested former Prime Minister Imran Khan on charges of corruption. The arrest, perhaps not coincidentally, was executed not long after Khan accused a high-ranking Inter Service Intelligence official of planning an assassination attempt
Khan’s arrest led to 2023 Pakistani protests by his supporters throughout the country. The nation has been in political turmoil ever since, on top of an already crushing inflation crisis. Loss of water resources would likely send the country into immediate collapse. While India does not have the infrastructure to block the rivers completely, they do have the ability to greatly reduce the flows to Pakistan, or divert much of the water to storage areas. They have also threatened to stop sharing vital flow data that could lead to a lack of flood warnings, thus destroying large swaths of farmland.
The existential threat this development represents to the Pakistani government opens the door to otherwise unthinkable retaliation. Nukes are indeed on the table. Analysts say Pakistan’s use of phrase "complete spectrum of national power means Pakistan can go to any limit, including the use of nuclear weapons.”
At the very least, Pakistan’s military will not hesitate to strike any infrastructure used by India to stem the water from the Indus rivers. Another factor that does not bode well is India’s overt superiority in terms of military power. India’s active military and reserve forces are twice the size of Pakistan’s. They have twice the air power, twice the tanks, a far larger navy which boasts a number of nuclear submarines.
The strength difference might compel Pakistan to use nukes immediately as a way to even the fight, or ensure the mutual destruction of India in a war Pakistan knows it will lose. In other words, the risk of a nuclear exchange is extraordinarily high.

Gods and Ubermen
Timothy Birdnow
The Mark of the Best and the insanity of transhumanism.
The argument is being made by transhumanists that the ultimate surveillance - under the skin technology that allows the tyrants to read your innermost emotions and thoughts - can be "turned against the surveillance state" if need be is complete nonsense; the state has all the money, all the weapons, all the people it requires. Governments have enormous resources at their disposal. How do you "turn the technolgy against them" when they own it and make it illegal for anyone other than themselves?
These people are batcrap crazy.
What this will do is create a kind of slavery unlike any ever before seen. In the bad old days masters owned their slaves' bodies but the slave still had the privacy of his own mind. Now they want to own us body and mind and soul.
God will not pemit that; He will be forced to intervene. Life is about free will, free choices. As King Baldwin IV says in the otherwise dreadful movie The Kingdom of Heaven "a king may move a man but a man's soul is in his own care". This tyranny would involve the very soul being taken away from Mankind.
That should be fairly easy too; Humanity truly charting our own course will inevitably lead to mistakes and infighting and at this rarified level, the level where we are "hacking" humanity, it will lead to utter disaster. Pandemics, famines, environmental destruction, etc. will all come when Man makes himself a substitute for God. Being a god is hard and not for the incompetent. The skills needed for success in politics or even in science are not the same as the wisdom needed to steer events. Now we have nobody with wisdom - they are brilliant maybe but unwise. Transhumanist types of the most foolish of all, although they are great at moving men where they want. Give them ultimate power and they will make a mess. That mess could well lead to our extinction as a species.
That is precisely what the Apocalypse meant by the number of the Beast being 666. To the Hebrews 7 was the number of perfection and three sevens was reserved for God - absolute perfection. 6 is the number of extreme imperfection and is reserved for Man. The Beast has three of them, signalling his complete imperfection. That's what transhumanism will be - extreme imperfection, the amplification of all of our bad traits. Imagine the worst mistake you ever made. Now imagine if you were nearly omnipotent and made that same mistake...
Actually we have someone who already did that. In 1953 S-F writer Jerome Bixby wrote "It's a Good Life" which would later be made into a Twilight Zone episode starring Billy Mummy - the boy who would later star in Lost in Space. The story centers on a young boy with Godlike powers who utterly terrorizes the small town where he lived. He would get annoyed with people and kill them in the most gruesome of manners then "think them into the corn field" and all of the townsfolk had to hide their thoughts behind confusing mental pictures lest the little deity take something from their thoughts and either grow annoyed or even try to help. He was still a human being in his drives and emotions but a god in his power. This was a great cautionary tale of the old adage "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely".
Unfortunately Science has given us tools that have greatly extended our power and the unwise are in charge of it - and will become more so as time goes by. Humanity's choices will lead us to ruin with this power.
It's bad to be a god. Much better to let the truly competent do it. And then you don't have so much to worry about.
Imagine if you will Anthony Fauci with this kind of power.
We are headed down a very dangerous path. Sadly I see no way to detour around the missing bridge at the canyon.

Kennedy Considers Dumping Covid Vax for Kids
Timothy Birdnow
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering dropping the Covid 19 clot shot from the CDC list of childhood vacc ines thus ending the reign of errorr by the drug companies and making America Healthy Again by not developing all the blood problems caused by this very dangerous and as yet not properly studied gene therapy.
The shot is not a vaccine insofar as it does not stop contagion nor infection and it involves no virus - dead or weak - at all. It uses mRNA to "teach" the immune system to make the spike protein and destroy it. Sadly it seems to KEEP making the spike proteins and causing the immune system to exhaust itself. It also causes blood clots, and possibly cancer.
It was not given sufficient clinical trials; the American People WERE the clinical trial, and may now have permanent genetic damage as a result.
Some speculate this was a population control measure and not a therapeutic at all.
Robert Kennedy blames our healthcare and eating habits:
Of course during his father's day a man could expect to die by age 66 while in 2022 it was 74.8 years, and this includes death by violence or injury, something that has risen by a large margin since Bobby Kennedy was the AG for the United States. And this also includes an enormous wave of immigrants - both legal and illegal - who drag down those numbers. The reality is we ARE living healthier lives, and longer. And it's the advances in medicine that are doing it.
While I suspect the more natural diet of our forebearers was probably better for them, and while I also suspect they got more exercise just in the basics of living, I do think Kennedy is overplaying his hand. Now everyone is goinng to the gym and exercising and working out and worrying about what they eat. In fact, beinng thin is a measure of wealth insofar as the rich have time to work out (the reverse of the old days when being fat was a sign you had made it "a man with a belly" was what Italians called a rich guy.)
Off course Kennedy was a Democrat and his heart remains with the Progressives, who believe they can grasp the whole world and place it under their supervision. In other words Kennedy is your typical health Nazi. The only difference is he's working for Trump.
But that doesn't mean he's always wrong. Getting rid of the Covid shot is one of the best things he can do to protect the health of Americans.

Falling Housing Costs
Timothy Birdnow
Why? Everyone's fleeing these Blue cities, that's why.
Home Prices Fall in 11 of the 50 Most Populous US Metros: Report
There are other reasons; the Trump Administration is kicking out illegal aliens who were sucking up much of the housing, which ultimately drove prices up across the board. Now instead of buying many are going to rent because no doubt rents are decreasing along with home prices. Frankly, we have been in a housing bubble for a long time because of all the aliens coming in and because of easy credit - Fannie and Freddie have been doing the exact same thing they did which created the bubble leading to the '08 crash in housing. Trump has been systematically reducing the amount of money being spent to finance housing for unqualified would-be homebuyers and renters. For example, he defunded the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund which funneled money to unqualified people. It's website says:
See here for a series of links on the whole business with the CDFI Fund.
At any rate Trump is rolling back the reckless spending that the Democrats have used in the name of "afrordable housing"which makes housing LESS affordableby artificially increasing demand and undercutting market principles.
Ultimately the liberal policies championed by the Democrats decimate whole communities and now those chickens are coming home to roost, now that the unlimited funding coming from Washington is drying up.
Declining home prices is actually a good thing at this point. While painful it's a necessary correction to an artificially inflated market.

Insurrection Barbie
Timothy Birdnow
She should be charged with citing insurrection.
Florida Dem Rep Calls for ‘Uprising’ and Threats Against House and Senate
From Lifezette:
If Insurrection Barbie here wants to promote open rebellion then she should be treated the same way the J6 people were treated. How many years did Enrique Tarrio,an immigrant, get for "sedition" when he was not even present at the Capitol on January 6, 2020? He received a prison sentence of 22 years just for encouraging people to go and protest. Tarrio should have run for Congress first I guess.
Democrats always believe they have a divine right to push as hard and far as they please and face no consequences. Time for that to change.
She should be charged with citing insurrection.
Florida Dem Rep Calls for ‘Uprising’ and Threats Against House and Senate
From Lifezette:
"Florida Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson drew national attention Thursday after holding a roadside press conference outside the ICE Krome Detention Center, where she urged supporters to "threaten” Congress and called for an "uprising” over immigration enforcement policies.
Wilson’s appearance followed her visit to the Miami detention facility, where she criticized current immigration detention and deportation efforts.
Standing among bushes on the side of a busy road, Wilson made a series of remarks targeting House Republicans and calling for political action."
If Trump had called for such action, or any Republican, they would face prison time. But it's Trump's "rhetoric" that is the cause of violence they insist.
If that is true than what is this woman's call to violence inciting?
She calls for open insurrection:
"I’ve been giving out the phone numbers to the House of Representatives and to the Senate. It’s one number. That number you call and you threaten it. And you say, ‘This is wrong. This is not America. This is not what we stand for. We need a change.’ You have to do that,” Wilson declared.
"It’s going to take the people…I’ve talked myself into oblivion. We need the people, we need an uprising, the people taking to the streets, and phones and writing letters. That’s what we need.”

If Insurrection Barbie here wants to promote open rebellion then she should be treated the same way the J6 people were treated. How many years did Enrique Tarrio,an immigrant, get for "sedition" when he was not even present at the Capitol on January 6, 2020? He received a prison sentence of 22 years just for encouraging people to go and protest. Tarrio should have run for Congress first I guess.
Democrats always believe they have a divine right to push as hard and far as they please and face no consequences. Time for that to change.

War Tensions on Subcontinent
Timothy Birdnow
Tensions continue to rise between India and Pakistan.
As Tensions Rise with Pakistan, India Sends Army Chief to Kashmir
(As an aside, I always wonder why everyone calls India a subcontinent but nowhere else. I looked it up; there are a number of subcontinents as defined by geologists and cartographers - Greenland, Quebec, Arabia, Baja California, Central America, Kamchaka (Siberia) and Somalia, Scandanavia, etc.)

The Conspiracy of Fauci, Harvard, and the CCP
Timothy Birdnow
How Harvard, China, and Fauci conspired to hide the origins of Covid.
Harvard, Fauci, and the CCP Conspired Together in Covid Coverup
Fauci helped funnel money to Harvard through the Chinese real-estate company Evergrand (which went belly-up not long ago) to aid the Chinese Communists in their efforts to hide the fact they and Fauci were at fault for the then burgeoning pandemic (this was in 2020).
Evergrand funnelled vast sums of money to Harvard after a meeting facilitated by Fauci with the Chinese. And Fauci was largely untouchable - until now.
Why hasn't Pam Bondi filed charges, or at least opened a formal investigation of Fauci?
Fauci had not been criticalof the lab-leak theory until after he had this meeting. Then suddenly he began calling it crackpot and ludicrous and claimed examination of the DNA of the Covid 19 "proved" it was natural. That has turned out to be a big, fat lie.
There is much more to the story; go to the article and read it all for yourself.

Act Gets the Blues
Timothy Birdnow
Trump has signed a directive ordering the DOJ to investigate the leftist Act Blue for illegal fundraising, campaign finance law violations, and election tampering. In particular, for laundering money from China.
This has been going on for decades, not just years; it's well past time someone put a stop to this selling of our government.
Trump has signed a directive ordering the DOJ to investigate the leftist Act Blue for illegal fundraising, campaign finance law violations, and election tampering. In particular, for laundering money from China.
The memorandum instructs federal agencies to take action in response to mounting concerns from Congress and independent investigations, including those by Just the News, regarding ActBlue’s failure to adhere to standard anti-fraud measures during the 2024 election cycle.
.@POTUS just signed an order to crack down on illegal "straw donor” and foreign contributions in U.S. elections — following reports and congressional investigations regarding potentially unlawful activities through ActBlue and other online fundraising platforms.

Democratic Civil War
Timothy Birdnow
Better get out your popcorn popper!
Democratic Chair Ken Martin Warns Vice Chair David Hogg to Knock it Off
Martin is fed up with Hogg's radicalism and trashing of electable Democrats. Hogg has been threatening to primary Democrats who are not as lunatic left as he would like.
It's mazing considering they lost an election to a FELON who was massively outspent and whom they had spent eight years demonizing. It never once occurred to these bolsheviks that perhaps it's their message that has led to defeat.
But what did they expect? Hogg was an arrogant little creep who made his name by screaaming about gun control. Anyone who heard him then knew he was an idiot and a radical but the party put him into a position of authority anyway.
As long as people like Hogg are in charge the Democrats will continue their long, horrible slide into oblivion. And the civil war between the Democrats will continue to metastasize. It's a delight to watch.

James the Slumlord
Timothy Birdnow
Letitia James is a slumlord.
Is NY Attorney General Letitia James a Slumlord in Her Own Building? Tenants Say Yes
From pJ Media:
As a guy who worked in property management for twenty years I can attest to the very easy complaints of tenants and how I would take this with a grain of salt - especially that last. Bedbugs are extraordinarily difficult to get rid of, and often they come back because tenants do not obey the directive to get rid of their stuff and so the bugs are hiding in their chair or comforter or whatnot.
A lot of this other stuff may or may not be legitimate. I rather doubt the tenants know the building codes, for instance. I also doubt any tenant would complain about unpermitted repairs; James would be actually improving their environment and few tenants would complain of that.
So, without actually knowing what these complaints are, I'm taking them with a grain of salt. Sadly so; I'm supposed to be on a salt-free diet! And I also suspect she IS a slumlord; she's got the profile of one. But I have to defend her in this instance.
Peeling paint is another thing though I know how it's pretty tough to keep up with it.
There is a simple way of handling this; the tenants could contact the local building inspectors office and get it certified. If the paint is lead-based she'll be stuck hiring a remediation company to fix the problem. That they haven't done that suggests it's not lead-based paint peeling.
Or the inspectors fear tangling with the AG of New York. But theycould always hire a private company to inspect the property and prepare a report.
Still, James made her bones championing housing rights for tenants. She stated:
If you are going to go there you nneed a squeeky clean rep yourself. Apparently, like most Democrats, the rules only apply to others.

Is NY Attorney General Letitia James a Slumlord in Her Own Building? Tenants Say Yes
From pJ Media:
NY AGT Letitia James is in more trouble after the tenants accuse her of being a slumlord. They say she does nothing about bedbug infestation, peeling paint, using an apartment illegally, and more. They have lodged 17 complaints in the last 20 months with the New York City Department of Buildings.
These include unauthorized construction work without proper permits, the alteration of a load-bearing wall without permits, the illegal use of apartments as hotel rooms, illegal conversion, a fence over the height limit, and a failure to notify authorities of scaffold work. In addition, all four tenants report problems with bedbugs.

A Serial Sewer
Timothy Birdnow
A pervert who dresses in woman's clothing and murdered a baby is suing Donald Trump for his/her/it's/Xi's being raped in prison. See, it's all Trump's fault!
I kid you not.
Jonathan C. Richardson aka Autumn Cordellionè claimed in a handwritten lawsuit that he was raped by a bunch of prisoners and guards let it happen. Oh, and the prisoners said this:
Suuuurrrreee they did!
Does that even remotely sound like most prison inmates?
I wonder which leftist civil rights group talked johnnie appleseedless into filing this complaint?
The ACLU won a lawsuit forcing the prison to pay for the sex-transitioning surgery after Richardson spent 19 years in prison. You mean to tell me nobody bothered him UNTILL then? Without medical surgery he was still prancing about like the sugarplum fairy. But only now with Trump in office did Tinkerbell get raped.
Who believes any of this?
Richards got 55 years in prison for strangling to death his girlfriend's11 month old daughter back in 2011.
Richardson was allegedly told:
"Trump's president now, and we won't even get in trouble for f**king you trannies up," by one of his assailants. He claims he was REPEATEDLY raped after being taken out of special custody and put in the Indiana men's prison.
He was in "special custody" meaning he was being coddled because of his tranny status.
I hate to point this out but a part of why a dude turns himself into a chick is to get the kind of treatment he alleges. One wonders at this supposed sexual assault; it's the kind of thing he long dreamt of no doubt.
But of course it didn't happen, or at least not the way he claims. I doubt it happened at all. If it had at least one guard would have intervened, if for no other reason than to cover their own posteriors. Anyone who works for the government knows the dangers of being unresponsive where one of these liberal protected classes are concerned, and would understand that the media would pounce.
I'd like to know what the baby killer is going to present in court. Does he have prison records showing he was physically assaulted? Did he ask for protective custody? Does he have witnesses who will testify?
I rather doubt it. This is a publicity stunt by a man who has nothing to lose by it and who was promised something or other by one of the NGO's that seek to find any weapon to use against Trump.
This isn't that complicated and it isn't that onerous; if you "feel like a woman" that is your business but you needn't flaunt it. Women dress like men all the time; he need but think of himself as dressed like a tomboy. I remember the Drew Carey show where his transvestite brother was dressed like a man "I'm a rough-and-tumble tomboy today". If that's what it takes to get through the day then do it. Prison isn't about self-fulfillment, it's about survival. If you truly fear your situation you would knuckle under. Rape in prison is abominable and should be punished with great severity, and certainly a person shouldn't be raped just for being different, but there are realities and the reality is you don't go out of your way to antagonize people in prison. This guy's been there long enough - he knows how it works.
I'd like to find the records of his visitors, frankly.
And you will notice he's suing TRUMP, not the state of Indiana, not the warden of the prison, but Donald J. Trump, and for $3.5 million.
This fellow also sued the state of Indiana prior for not letting him wear a hijab, so he's a chronic sewer, er, sioux-er, er, Sue-er, oh you know what I mean!
And the ACLU has becked him all along.
This is purely political and I hope this gets blown out of the water in court.

Russian General Killed by Car Bomb
Timothy Birdnow
A Russian general was murdered by a car bomb on the eve of historic meetings between Putin and Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, stimulating speculations the Ukrainians or Europeans may have been involved to prevent a peace deal from being reached.
Gen Yaroslav Moskalik was killed when a shrapnel-filled IED exploded under his Volkswagon Golf in the town of Balashikha on Friday, just outside of Moscow. Moskalik was the deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.
Unless Putin himself did the deed (not unheard-of from the old KGB thug) somebody was trying to derail these talks, in all likelihood.
My money is on Zelensky. He has zero interest in ending this conflict without taking all the occupied territory back and then some, perhaps.
At any rate this may well derail talks, and more importantly lead to a renewed offensive by Russian forces and against civilians, I might add.
Which, it occurs to me, would suit Zeolensky fine; he needs an atrocity to keep America on their side and maybe bring Europeans and other outside forces into actual conflict.
At any rate this is a major provocation that could derail all efforts at a diplomatic settlement. And without aid the Ukrainians will lose in the end, so there is only one options - foreign forces actually fighting in the war. That is no doubt what Zelensky is thinking anyway.
