How Stupidity Became America’s Most
Valuable Social Currency
Posted By: mc squared, 12/6/2023 6:15:14 PM
Spend five minutes scrolling through social media, and you’ll quickly realize that some of the dumbest people are also the most influential. From Cardi B to Dylan Mulvaney, Mark Ruffalo to LeBron James — all are among the hordes of cultural icons, talentless or not, who use their platforms to blur the lines between pop culture and political expertise. But you don’t have to be a big name to rack up online social currency with absolutely trash takes. One of the most painfully stupid videos ever to grace the internet went viral this weekend. Since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel,

…now they are coming for your meat. Global warming, the universal excuse for left-wing policies designed to make your life worse, demands that modern agriculture be shut down. If you think that is an exaggeration, talk to anyone in Sri Lanka or the Netherlands.
The UN’s COP28 global warming conference in Dubai is turning its attention to agriculture:
Climate advocacy groups are pressuring world governments gathered at this year’s United Nation’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to commit to cutting global food sector emissions, as the conference host promises to put agriculture in the spotlight.

The U.S. is currently being flooded with an unending horde of unvetted illegal aliens, including an unknown number of criminals. Unfortunately, that migrant crisis is not unique to this country or this hemisphere.

Center for Immigration Studies Fellow Todd Bensman is exposing the global migrant crisis, including the number of Muslim men flooding into Western countries. Sadly, woke governments, the European Union (EU), and the United Nations (UN) are encouraging this invasion.
On Dec. 3, Bensman posted a video of what looked like a large migrant camp — supported and funded by the UN and EU — housing migrants from Muslim-majority nations near the town of Bihać
FBI whistleblower Steve Friend has a warning for Americans: our bloated bureaucracy sees We the People as its “primary enemy.”
Friend is a former FBI agent, a fellow at the Center for Renewing America, and co-host of "American Radicals" podcast. He speaks truths the government would prefer to keep hidden on many platforms, including on Twitter/X.
His internal knowledge of the FBI and government bureaucracy led him to make a chilling comparison on Dec. 3. Hydra Host co-founder Aaron Ginn had noted, “The FBI went to great lengths to track down every grandma and grandpa associated with Jan 6th. In the last two months, we have terrorist sympathizers waving the Palestinian flag
In a recent development, The Gateway Pundit, one of the top conservative websites in the country today, reported that its access has been blocked on networks within both the United States House of Representatives and the Pentagon.
On Thursday, sources from Capitol Hill informed The Gateway Pundit that attempts to access the website from the House network were unsuccessful.
A staff member from Congressman Paul Gosar’s office detailed ongoing access problems for the past two weeks.
“Wanted to notify you that I have been unable to access the Gateway Pundit on the House network for the past two weeks,” according to the email.
osar’s staff displayed the error code seen above
In a stunning jab to Fox News, host Greg Gutfeld called out the network for firing Tucker Carlson.
Gutfeld compared the ongoing advertiser boycott of Elon Musk's X to Fox News' decision to fire Carlson, arguing that both icons pose too many challenges to elitists.
The host said that Musk telling off "cowardly advertisers" who cave to pressure from the radical Left and abandoning X is "how it's done." After showing the clip of Musk saying "G. F. Y." about top brands' decision to stop advertising on his platform, Gutfeld praised Musk while throwing a jab at his own network's decision to get rid of Carlson.
Illegal Migrants Invade Malibu Beaches

A boatful of illegal migrants invaded the elite playground of Malibu, California, where the average home sells for a jaw-dropping price of $3.4 million. ABC7.com reported the landing, which delivered roughly 25 illegal migrants into California:
MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) — Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are investigating a panga boat that sunk off the Malibu coast on Wednesday. The U.S. Coast Guard got a call around 7:30 a.m. regarding the 25-foot-long vessel, which is often a type of boat used by human and drug smugglers.
Authorities found a debris field with life jackets and gas cans,
The New York Times has developed a well-deserved reputation for gaslighting its readers by scorning narratives that don’t fit its increasingly left bent. Once considered the foremost news organization in the country and possibly the world, it has descended into a woke blog whose stories more often seem to emanate from a fledgling college student rather than from actual expert reporters.
To wit, I received the following newsletter in my email recently: “We’re covering claims of a shoplifting boom… Viral exaggerations.”
Really, NY Slimes? It’s the right-wing media who are concocting this crisis out of thin air, we’ve “pounced on it," as they love to say—it’s not actually a serious consideration?

Attacker, John Turscak, Is a Former FBI Informant 16 replies
Derek Chauvin was assaulted in prison by John Turscak, an individual with a complicated past.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, federal prosecutors disclosed that 52-year-old John Turscak stabbed Derek Chauvin 22 times at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson.
The rapid response of correctional officers averted a more tragic outcome, as they intervened before Turscak could murder Chauvin. After the attack, Chauvin required life-saving measures before being transported to the hospital.
Following this jailhouse stabbing, the FBI initiated an investigation.
Turscak, in his confession to FBI agents, indicated that he deliberately chose Black Friday for the assault as a symbolic gesture towards the Black Lives Matter movement,
I’ve been writing an awful lot lately about the Irish and the onrushing totalitarianism of the government there.
We’ve got our own insidious version of lawless Big Brother here. It’s called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), but it’s got the vaguest schmear of constitutional protections supposedly wiped on top, even though they’ve proven to be no protection at all from those willing to ignore them.
Which Merrick’s merry men certainly qualify for considering how they’ve loosey-gooseyed, and massaged every aspect of the mechanisms meant to protect Americans from unlawful intrusions and surveillance. They’ve used lies and omissions to receive permission from courts to wander warrant-free,
Electric vehicles (EVs) have vastly more problems that arise than gas-powered cars, a new report of American consumers reveals.
The survey from Consumer Reports, which asked owners of about 330,000 vehicles about issues they faced over the last year, found that EVs have almost 80 percent more problems than gas-powered cars using traditional combustion engines.
Most problems consumers face with EVs, the report suggests, are long charging times, a lack of charging stations in general, issues with the lithium-ion battery, outer and interior parts not fitting precisely, and engine failures.
The Associated Press (AP) reports:
A Pentagon official was arrested during a recent human trafficking sting alongside multiple other suspects in Georgia, according to the Coweta County Sheriff’s office.
Stephen Hovanic is accused of soliciting sex at a motel from an undercover agent, Fox News reported Monday:
The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) last week announced the arrests of 26 people, including Stephen Hovanic, former chief of staff for the Americas division of the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), in connection with an alleged human-trafficking ring.
The man has reportedly worked in that position since 2010. Now, the 64-year-old has been charged with pandering for allegedly soliciting sex

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that if former President Donald Trump wins the election in 2024, “our democracy, our flag, our Constitution, the future of our children” is at stake.
Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said, “What are the stakes for the world when they hear Donald Trump say he would be a dictator on day one, if he is elected president again, and what do dictators like Vladimir Putin here in that statement?”

The director of Disney’s latest flop, The Marvels, Nia DaCosta, is blaming hateful sexist, misogynists for the massive box office failure.
What is probably really upsetting Ms. DaCosta is that more men than women bought tickets to the film. Women, like me, are not at all interested in paying for a film starring macho women.
No thanks, Disney. Real women like strong men, even fake ones portraying superheroes.
The more I read about the antics of the hysterical Karens or view the sickening videos of moronic exhibitionists on TikTok, the more convinced that I am a female chauvinist.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is ordering Michigan’s state fleet of vehicles to be 100 percent electric by 2040.
In a new directive Tuesday, Whitmer announced a move to bring the state’s fleet of vehicles down to zero greenhouse gas emissions in fewer than two decades. The goal, Whitmer wrote in the order, is “essential” for her administration’s green energy agenda.
Whitmer wrote in the directive: Michigan is on the cutting-edge of mobility and electrification. Our world-leading auto industry is making the switch to electric, and we continue to attract battery, semiconductor, and clean energy investments from other states and nations. We must usher the future of mobility and clean energy into Michigan
Earlier today Joe Biden threatened U.S. troop engagement with Russian troops if congress doesn’t provide further funding for Ukraine. As the premise is pushed, a failure to fund the Ukraine war means Russia will move beyond Ukraine into a NATO country. The premise is nonsense. WATCH: (video) White House – […] “Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the holiday recess. It’s as simple as that.
Frankly, I think it’s stunning that we’ve gotten to this point in the first place.
On Dec. 7, 1941, a surprise attack at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii would officially begin the United States' involvement in World War II.
That day, which President Franklin Roosevelt would notably call "a date which will live in infamy," is now recognized each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
According to the National Park Service, 2,403 service members and civilians were killed and another 1,178 people were injured in the attack. Two U.S. Navy battleships – the USS Arizona and the USS Utah – were also permanently sunk, and 188 aircraft were destroyed. Commemorations are held every year in Hawaii and across the country
The highest number of illegal immigrants in a single day crossed onto U.S. soil on Tuesday. More than 12,000 crossed the border that day.
In an interview Wednesday, DHS Secretary Mayorkas claimed that the border security measures congressional Republicans want to put into a foreign aid bill are “violence to our fundamental values.” What are these security measures that are so offensive to the man who lies that the southern border is closed and secured? They are “building a border wall, increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, limiting asylum, and narrowing Biden’s power to parole illegal immigrants.” Talk about bad timing. Americans are fed up with the Biden
Schindler’s List director Steven Spielberg has commented publicly for the first time about the October 7 Hamas terror attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis, saying he never imagined he would see “such unspeakable barbarity against Jews in my lifetime.”
Steven Spielberg’s comment appeared in a Friday announcement from the USC Shoah Foundation about a new campaign to record eyewitness testimony to the Hamas attacks.
“[Chairman] Rob Williams and the team at the USC Shoah Foundation are leading an effort that will ensure that the voices of survivors will act as a powerful tool to counter the dangerous rise of antisemitism and hate,” said Spielberg, who founded the organization in 1994.
America may be on the verge of World War III with the world’s largest nuclear power if the most influential conservative media figure is correct.
Tucker on Thursday afternoon dropped a bombshell that Bided Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Congressional members in a briefing Wednesday that if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not receive more American taxpayer money for Ukraine, he said the Regime would send their relatives to fight Russia.
This is an open threat to start World War III.
Here is Tucker’s full shocking post:
The House voted to censure Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling the fire alarm during a vote to avert a government shutdown. The vote was 214 to 191, with five members voting 'present.'
Four Democrats, all on the Ethics Committee, voted 'present' - as is standard for ethics-related matters. Three Democrats voted to censure Bowman - Rep. Jahana Hayes, Conn., Chris Pappas, N.H., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Wash.
One Republican voted against it: Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland.
Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., forced a vote on the resolution this week by making it 'privileged.'
As President Trump continues to dominate the 2024 GOP presidential primaries, attention has turned to who he will pick as his running mate. Now, we have a list of names Trump and his team are reportedly considering, but a potential wild card lurks.
On Thursday, Axios published an extensive piece detailing the potential makeup of a Trump Cabinet in a second term. The 45th President and his team’s primary focus is ensuring all positions in government will be filled with people loyal to the America-first agenda and Trump.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump’s first term was marred by disloyal RINOs and globalists seeking to sabotage him at every turn.
Elon Musk wants Bob Iger fired.
The X owner and erratic billionaire conspiracy theorist went on a rampage Thursday against the Disney chief executive, assailing Iger for the Magic Kingdom’s decision to pull advertisements from his imperiled social media platform, and declaring that Iger should be forcibly removed from his job.
“He should be fired immediately,” Musk, who often uses his influential perch to bully critics and others, wrote about Iger on the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company.” Representatives for Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But Iger is widely credited for boosting

Ramaswamy Respond to Former Gov’s Newfound Popularity 15 replies
Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy spent quite a bit of air time Wednesday evening zeroing in on Nikki Haley on an array of policy positions, suggesting a tacit acknowledgement from both candidates the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor continues to enjoy some momentum among donors and in early state polls, even as Trump maintains a comfortable lead.
Drafting off of an opening question that focused on Haley’s lucrative relationship with wealthy donors and major corporations, Ramaswamy and DeSantis began the fourth GOP presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., arguing that the newly wealthy career politician is a poor fit for the current populist moment.
