Dinesh D’Souza’s Police State: I was

It’s a familiar trope: The agitated young “transgender” person claims that being “misgendered” left him or her “literally shaking.” I’ve always seen that as a sign of a tragically weak human being. However, last night, while watching Dinesh D’Souza’s Police State, I found myself literally shaking, too. Maybe I’m pathetically weak, or maybe that movie triggered such a strong “fight or flight” response in me that, sitting there in my seat, unable to react to either instinct, all I could do was tremble. Why is the movie so powerful? Because using a combination of reenactments, interviews, news footage, police body cams, and individuals’ security cameras, D’Souza has compellingly put together

The FBI has literally become the KGB. Step up and expect to be able to exercise the “right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” is essentially gone. No court will protect us from these FBI criminal thugs with teams of gunners, it appears. And nothing at all is done to these Thugs With Badges, as they run absolutely over our Constitutional Rights. Apparently those rights are just gone. I hope that we can still vote our way out of this, but it is seeming less likely. I'm old and no matter what happens, likely done with this world in less than 20 years. The young people today, don't actually seem to care about lost freedoms, in general. Instagram "stars" and Facebook pages are apparently more real and important to them than any sort of real world freedoms. "Not with a bang, but a whimper." comes to mind. I wonder if a new American Revolution to take us back to the US Constitution, as written, is even possible today?

Innocent Americans are being terrorized by fbi and doj that is destroying our rock solid foundation of Truth justice and the American way. Main street, farm fields and Mom and pops lost all respect for the thugs running our institutions. Everyone of those boots on the ground Hannity respects so much are no different than your run of the mill Stasi . We are at the point where the innocents can not get a good lawyer to wrench them from this evil. God Bless America.

FTA - "People need to wake up and understand that what’s happening in D.C. is not the same government that they remember growing up. This is a government that, thanks to the Patriot Act and technology, has unimaginable power and is willing to use it against anyone who threatens this power. There’s very little time left for Americans to vote in ways that can restore balance to the system. In this case, passivity is a slow march to full police-state hell." The choice is ours.

The America I grew up in is not the America we have today. J6er's held in jail for 2 years with no trial, and while prosecutors take their time trying to find something to charge them with. I naively thought we had laws against double jeopardy, only to see that sidestepped with charges in a federal court, then a state court. I never thought I would live to see a client's attorney offices raided, and their files and computers taken off. I thought there was attorney client privilege, only to see attorneys charged, and thumbscrewed into testifying against their client. I thought there was executive privilege, only to see a president's staff publish their conversations in the media. I thought we were a nation of laws, only to be told they are broken, and not to be followed by those that don't like them. I once thought we had impartial judges. Was that naive, or what? I never thought we would have a coup in our face at the presidential level, our elections turned into selections. Then, who would have thought we would have a presidential administration that would intentionally destroy our economy, and get us into a war with Russia, and now the muslim world. Who would have ever thought a presidential administration would have laughed at deficits, and given away our status as the world's reserve currency?

I got my first job in 1967 with off duty cops who suggested that I at age 17 should have sex with a 15 yr old girl. One of the cops, while on duty stopped me while driving--to scare me! He knew my car. I have never been in trouble with the law but my lifelong observations of cops leads me to believe that they frequently abuse their authority. The Supreme Court ruling that its ok for cops to lie to us but we go to jail for lying to them (see Martha Stewart) does not inspire confidence in cops. A high school bully became a cop and gave my best friend a ticket for going 45 in a 45 zone. The ticket rsaid it was a 35 zone. A local policeman told me recently that we only have 10 bad cops in our city. *Only* ten! As if thats acceptable. I have a lifetime of these stores that I witnessed.

The mentally challenged student I went to school with became a cop. There was no way he could handle that kind of responsibility. And by the time he was 35 he got himself in a bad law enforcement situation and was shot to death by the perp. He should have been permanently tied to a desk job at the station. He was a nice guy but just very dim.

“President Biden is the most pro-union president in history” has become the White House’s go-to response to the recent strike that had upturned American auto manufacturing. “UAW victories may lift Biden,” the New York Times fantasized in the wake of the deals between the Big Three American automakers and striking auto workers — deals which are expected to result in large pay increases to workers over the next five years. The White House took victory lap for “solving” a crisis that was Biden’s own making. At a press conference Monday, the president called the deal “yet another piece of good economic news showing something I’ve always believed.”

The 'adopted' black son of new House Speaker Mike Johnson has spoken out for the first time in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com. Michael Tirrell James said he would ‘probably be in prison’ were it not for Johnson – after he appeared in a Los Angeles court Wednesday on charges of running an illegal cannabis business and possessing brass knuckles. James has never taken part in publicity for Johnson's political campaigns, and little has been known about the 40-year-old father of four. But now DailyMail.com can reveal how the top GOP lawmaker and his wife Kelly informally adopted James after meeting him while doing charitable community work in Louisiana in the 1990s.

President Joe Biden has found a novel way to fight a dramatic rise in antisemitism since the Hamas terror attack on Israel October 7: putting Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of a new “national strategy on Islamophobia.” The country has seen a near 400% rise in antisemitic incidents since the start of the war, according to the Anti-Defamation League. In a video on Twitter/X, Harris said: “As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an uptick in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, antisemitic, and Islamophobic incidents across America.”

A legal effort to use the Constitution's "insurrection" clause to block former President Donald Trump from running for office in 2024 is becoming a more serious threat as hearings begin in two states over cases that could reach the highest court. A weeklong hearing begins in Colorado on Monday over a lawsuit that cites the Civil War-era provision of the 14th Amendment that blocks those who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and later "engaged in insurrection" from holding higher office. Oral arguments over a similar question also start at the Minnesota Supreme Court on Thursday.

One of the textbook marketing flops of all time was the Ford Edsel sedan, which was heralded as the hot new car in the late 1950s. All the automotive experts and Ford executives said it was a can’t-miss. Henry Ford (the car was named after his son) guaranteed hundreds of thousands of sales. Advertisement But one big thing went wrong: Nobody ever bothered to ask car buyers what they thought of the new car. As it turned out, they hated it. So instead of sales of 400,000, Americans bought 10,000, and the model was embarrassingly discontinued. The obvious lesson for the industry: You can’t bribe Americans to buy cars they don’t want.

Veteran climate worrier Greta Thunberg announced Friday she has shifted her attention away from the world’s weather to focus on Israel’s fate as it fights Hamas and its associated terrorist organizations. Thunberg took to social media and posted on X – formerly known as Twitter – to call a strike “in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected.” She also wants an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Thunberg’s call for peace and harmony in the Middle East comes three days after she was arrested in London during a protest against fossil fuels.

CVS began pulling popular over the counter cough and cold products from its shelves today because they don't work. The pharmacy chain is removing oral meds that contain phenylephrine as their only active ingredient, which was shown to be no better than placebo at treating a stuffy nose. The drugs are taken by millions of Americans and include brands like Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion, Sudafed PE, and Tylenol Cold and Flu and Severe Day & Night. It comes weeks after a panel of advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled phenylephrine 'is not effective' at standard or even high doses when taken in pill or liquid form.

As the war between Israel and Hamas intensifies, former President Barack Obama finally chose to break his silence on the hostilities. In a post on social media, he affirmed his support for Israel, condemned the killing of innocent civilians, and called for a lasting peace in the region. While some might appreciate Obama’s sentiments, perhaps he is not the best vessel for a message about the evils of killing civilians given his drone record and financial support of Iran. On Monday, the former president wrote: All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians.

IDF Has No Plans to Enter Hamas' Tunnels,

The Washington Post has a story today about the network of tunnels dug beneath Gaza by Hamas fighters. The entire network is estimated to stretch over 300 miles despite the Gaza strip being on 25 miles long. It’s where Hamas fighters have been hiding out since the start of Israel’s military response to the 10/7 attack. But the IDF has no intention of entering the tunnels which are likely booby-trapped. Israeli military protocol generally prohibits regular ground troops from entering tunnels, as the chances of being killed or captured is too high. Israelis have seen their soldiers grabbed and dragged into tunnels, so the likely strategy will be to attempt

Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech: “Let me be clear, the United States is just as responsible…Americans have to pay, they have to pay for Israel’s slaughter.” A few days after Hamas invaded Israel, perpetrating the most brutal massacre against Jews since the Holocaust, Hezbollah terrorists clashed with Israel Defense Forces along the Lebanon border, opening a second front in the conflict. If Israel’s military attacks Lebanon, where Hezbollah is operating, it will “pay dearly,” Nasrallah vowed.

The “supreme leader” of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, declared in an address on Wednesday that the common chant of “Death to America” in his country is “not just a slogan – it is a policy,” one his regime intended to bring to fruition. Khamenei was reportedly delivering remarks on Iranian regime-controlled television regarding the ongoing conflict between the nation of Israel and the Hamas genocidal terrorist organization, which Iran funds to the tune of tens of millions of dollars a year. The Iranian regime has enthusiastically embraced Hamas following its harrowing October 7 terrorist attack against civilians in Israel, which featured door-to-door slaughters of entire families in their homes,

A Connecticut judge was forced to throw out the results of a Democrat mayoral primary after surveillance videos showed possible ballot stuffing that a local judge said rendered the court "unable to determine the legitimate result." This week, Superior Court Judge William Clark ordered a new Democratic primary due to the misconduct. He claimed that the number of tampered ballots found changed the results of the original election, according to NBC Connecticut. “The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the result of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary,” Clark wrote

Joe Biden is refusing to hand over loan documents to the House Oversight Committee proving any ‘loans’ he provided to his brother James Biden. The House Oversight Committee has no IRS records or loan documents confirming the $200,000 check Jim Biden wrote to his brother Joe Biden in 2018 was a ‘loan repayment.’ House Oversight Chairman James Comer demanded IRS records and applicable loan documents proving Joe Biden loaned his brother James money. The Bidens often structure their income as ‘loans’ to avoid paying taxes.

There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war.

More recently, they are also yelling, "Israel, you can't hide, we caught you in genocide." Consider the hypocrisy of that dual messaging. Hamas and its supporters are openly and eagerly calling for the genocidal end of Israel by wiping it out from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Yet at the same time they also claim it is Israel that is committing genocide

The idiom for pregnancy, “a bun in the oven,” which traces its origins back more than 2,000 years to Ancient Greece, is in fact “misogynistic,” according to Kathleen Crowther, an historian of reproductive medicine at the University of Oklahoma. Crowther insists the idiom reduces the role of the mother to a mere incubator after the majority of the work has been done by the man. “I don’t think most people who use that metaphor are being misogynistic.” “But I think it actually does come from a deeply misogynistic tradition of thinking about women’s bodies as passive,” she argues.
