It’s time to take a hard look at the memorandum of understanding (MOU) and to think about it objectively. On one hand, it is not the utter catastrophe that a lot of people – people who largely agree with my position that we should be actively destroying these goat-molesting, pagan semi-humans – think it is. On the other hand, it’s a crap sandwich, and there’s no need to take a bite and announce that it’s “Yummy.” It is not yummy, but it might be the best we can hope for today.
Alan Greenspan, the longtime Federal Reserve chairman known as “the Maestro” who became one of the most influential economic policymakers of his era and famously warned of “irrational exuberance,” has died. He was 100. The influential economist died Monday at his home from complications of Parkinson’s Disease, said his wife of 29 years, Andrea Mitchell, the chief Washington correspondent and chief foreign affairs correspondent for NBC News. (Snip) Greenspan was appointed Fed chairman in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan and held the position — through busts and booms — until retiring in 2006. His tenure was the second longest, four
Sir Keir Starmer wants to force social networks and video platforms to make BBC content more prominent.
Under plans to further restrict private media firms, news from public service broadcasters would be given priority to fight “disinformation”.
The proposals will set Sir Keir on a collision course with tech giants already frustrated by his under-16s social media ban.
The Government is expected to start a consultation this week on the rules, which would force platforms such as Facebook and YouTube to boost content from the BBC, ITV and Channel 4.
Sources at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the rules would make it easier for Britons to “discover trusted news sources” online.
As the Department of Health and Human Services continues to commemorate Men’s Health Month, the department’s assistant secretary for health told the Daily Signal that President Donald Trump’s administration is focused on revitalizing fatherhood for the benefit of the nation.
“We want to make a positive impact on men’s health during this administration,” Adm. Brian Christine told the Daily Signal. “In this administration, men matter.”
Christine’s remarks come as the United States is witnessing a historic decline in men’s suicide rates, obesity, hypertension, and depression, while also seeing a rise in fertility and testosterone levels.
On her final day as director of national intelligence Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified evidence accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging in a cover-up about the virus origins in China and lying to Congress about it.
Perhaps most disturbingly, he was assisted by the US intelligence community.
“It’s time you know the truth,” said Gabbard when she released “never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins,
Homeland boss says Iran tried to sneak

As U.S.-Iran negotiations got off the rocky start in Switzerland, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed Sunday that Tehran tried to sneak several military-tied operatives into the United States with its World Cup soccer team.
Mullin said more than half the soccer representatives Iran tried to bring with its team had ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and that even a man posting Saturday as their soccer federation president was tied to the extreme military group and then I've entered ahead of Sunday's match.
"The guy that tried to get on the plane yesterday had direct ties to the IRGC,” the Homeland chief told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.
As I've been reporting, Colombia had presidential elections last month, and on Sunday, there was a run-off between the Donald Trump-like right-winger, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), and current president Gustavo Petro's hand-picked socialist successor, Iván Cepeda. Well, we can say that another country in Latin America has taken a swing to the right because El Tigre won narrowly, though I'm willing to bet Petro and his folks were up to some funny business. I just don't buy that nearly half the country voted for the commie... or, at least, half of the 63.6% of people who showed up to the polls in Colombia and beyond.
Tulsi Gabbard’s last day as the director of national intelligence is upon us, after she resigned because of a major illness in the family. In her resignation note to the president, she cited her husband Abraham Williams’ recent diagnosis with sacral chordoma — an extremely rare tumor that develops in the sacrum at the base of the spine. In her resignation, she wrote that "He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle."
deliberate, multi-layered system was assembled over decades by the Democrat Party and its various allies and dramatically expanded between 2021 and 2025, through which U.S. taxpayer dollars, recycled foreign contributions, and dark-money campaign finance were deployed to facilitate mass illegal immigration, entrench the illegal alien population against removal, and sustain the political coalition responsible for building the system in the first place.
What follows is a structural analysis of the multi-layered system that has been bilking taxpayers for a very long time.
Medicaid and Healthcare Reimbursement Exploitation
The healthcare financing architecture became one of the most visible financial exposure points. Although the true number of illegal immigrants on Medicaid is unknown,
Trump to Pardon 250 for 250: Will Paul

Petersen, Imprisoned Victim of Lawfare,

President Donald Trump recently indicated that he may pardon 250 people on our country’s 250th anniversary this Independence Day. One of the most deserving recipients should be former Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen, who has been in prison for almost five and a half years with significant health problems, including Stage 3(b) kidney disease. Petersen was targeted by leftist prosecutors because he was a vocal Trump supporter who was assisted in his campaigns by the Republican Party. He merely helped expectant mothers in the Marshall Islands adopt out their babies to Americans. The work came naturally to him,
Starmer Resigns

Sir Keir Starmer choked up this morning as he resigned as Labour leader and listed his ‘achievements’, setting the stage for a leadership contest and a new Prime Minister to be in place by September. The Mail has more.
Keir Starmer choked up today as he announced he is quitting, with Andy Burnham closing in on taking control of Downing Street.
The PM talked up his achievements in getting Labour elected – as well as making a series of dubious claims about successes in Government – in a statement outside the famous black door of No. 10.
Macky Sall, the former President of Senegal and a leading candidate to be the next Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), told Breitbart News exclusively he supports American President Donald Trump’s push to reform the UN and wants to, as Trump and his team say, “Make the UN Great Again.”“My first message to President Trump is first to congratulate him for his action on peace,” Sall said in a phone interview ahead of a recent trip to Washington. “He’s a peace builder, even if sometimes we have some problems today with Iran, but what he did is huge on one year of peace in the world, around the world,

as Trump-backed candidate declares victory
in Colombia replies
Abelardo de la Espriella, a conservative political newcomer backed by President Donald Trump, declared victory Sunday in Colombia’s cliffhanger presidential election as Latin America continued to shift to the right during the American president's second term.
De La Espriella captured 49.7% of the vote, with liberal Iván Cepeda taking 48.7% in a runoff seen as a verdict on outgoing President Gustavo Petro and a stagnant economy ridden by crime.
Election officials had not formally declared a winner Sunday night, but de la Espriella declared victory and said he had already spoken with Trump.
When the Democrats nominated Barack Obama to represent their party in the 2008 presidential election many voters consoled themselves with this thought: “Well, at least it’s not Hillary.” Unfortunately, preventing her from taking up residence in the White House was the last useful thing he did for the country. Indeed, from the moment he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize during his first year in office—before he could possibly have done anything noteworthy—it became clear that there would be a huge gap between his actual accomplishments and the celebration of his presidency.

On Wednesday a warehouse fire erupted in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights, just east of Downtown L.A. The solar panels on the roof of a cold food storage facility continued to blaze through the night, billowing toxic smoke into the atmosphere, and thwarting any efforts made by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) to contain it. It is five days later, and the building is still burning. Take note of that last point. LAFD mitigated a fire at this building before, which was caused by the same issue. However, thanks to the cuts that both Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass

After announcing that his family is under federal investigation, reportedly related to taxes and business income, a spokesperson for California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday that the office was "working to prepare" tax returns for tax years 2021 through 2025 "for transparency," adding that, "unlike Donald Trump, the Governor has nothing to hide."Upon his election as governor in 2018 Newsom promised to release his full tax returns each year, but has not held to that promise;
Keir Starmer's premiership appears to have entered its final act. Just over a week after Andy Burnham stormed back into Parliament with a crushing by-election win, the Prime Minister is - according to senior Labour figures cited by The Observer - preparing to set out a timetable for his own departure, with a "clear statement" possible as early as Monday.It would be a remarkable collapse. Starmer led Labour to a landslide less than two years ago
Sen. Ruben Gallego repeatedly used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, according to a POLITICO review of campaign finance records and a person familiar with the senator’s spending.
The Arizona Democrat has used his leadership PAC to fund recent trips to Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family. Gallego has tapped that PAC and his main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in reimbursements for child care since 2019 — including $400 to his wife’s mother for babysitting.
Bring Back the Patriarchy
replies
I'd like to use Father’s Day to make a humble request: Let’s bring back the patriarchy. Whatever we currently have just isn’t working.
Empowering an odd collection of feminazis, soy boys, pronoun people, emotional nutcases, women pretending to be men, and men pretending to be women has produced a dysfunctional world that makes no sense. We’ve got gays celebrating Muslim jihadists who throw gays off buildings for sport. We’ve got “Me Too” pink-hat-ladies defending pedophiles and rapists from decorated military veterans now serving as ICE agents. We have male Democrat Party politicians harnessed with strange contraptions that allow them to “breastfeed” adopted babies.
CHICAGO — A spate of shootings in Chicago has led to at least 38 injuries and seven deaths since Friday evening, police say, prompting President Donald Trump to renew his call for a military intervention in the nation's third-largest city. "Why isn't Governor Pritzker calling me for help. I could make Chicago a safe City in ONE MONTH, in ONE YEAR, it would be one of the safest!!!" Trump said in a Sunday morning Truth Social post. (Snip) Preliminary information shared by Chicago police indicate there have been at least two dozen shooting incidents since 5 p.m. on Friday. Those killed
Unsuccessful 2024 Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris says the word “hope” should be “changed to a verb.” One problem with that. It already is.
Hope can be used as both a noun and a verb.
Don Lemon, her host on his podcast that appeared over the weekend, did not point that out.
But those on social media, where the comment has gone viral, did as the sound bite was reposted on numerous X accounts.
“It’s a noun: ‘I have hope that she never runs for any government office again,’” one user posted to X.
Scandal-scarred Rep. Ilhan Omar and her hubby have gone from the penthouse to the poorhouse.
The husband of the Minnesota “Squad” firebrand — who once valued his venture capital and wine empire at up to $30 million — now claims to be pocketing as little as $200 a year.

Omar claimed the total value of the couple’s assets was between $20,000 and $125,000 for 2025, and their credit card and student-loan debt hovered between $30,000 and $100,000 — putting their net worth at negative-$80,000-$95,000, according to the report.
Disney purists (like me) wince a bit when the rides that have direct connections to Walt Disney get changed. Some things sound promising, like the long-overdue updates to Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress.
Others are cringey and obviously aimed at placating the left, [snip]
Autopia is one of the original attractions at Disneyland Park. It’s essentially one of those “kids get to drive a car” rides — in other words, slow go-karts. They’re loud, and they allow kids to be in control.But the California bureaucrats are now telling Disney that it must convert the Autopia ride vehicles to electric by 2027 or shut the attraction down.
