Federal court rules warrantless 'back door' digital searches unconstitutional in victory for privacy rights | Blaze Media

"In light of this ruling, we ask Congress to uphold its responsibility to protect civil rights and civil liberties by refusing to renew Section 702 absent a number of necessary reforms, including an official warrant requirement for querying U.S. persons' data and increased transparency," the organization said. "We expect any lawmaker worthy of that title to listen to what this federal court is saying and create a legislative warrant requirement so that the intelligence community does not continue to trample on the constitutionally protected rights to private communications," they added.

Will Any Federal Officials Pay for What They Did? - James Bovard

The biggest scientific con of the century is finally being exposed. 
But will any politicians or government officials ever be held responsible for the carnage they unleashed on Americans? 
  • In early 2020, when the Covid pandemic was starting to ravage America, federal bureaucrats and politicians rushed to suppress any suggestion that the pandemic originated from a Chinese government lab bankrolled by US government agencies...
  • The FBI’s top expert concluded that the virus leaked from the lab but he was derailed by the Biden administration, blocked from presenting his evidence at a key White House meeting in August 2021. 
  • Three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, part of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, concluded that Covid leaked from a lab but they were muzzled. 
  • The Inspector General is conducting an investigation to determine why those experts were silenced. 
  • The Department of Energy also concluded that Covid originated in a lab. In September 2023, a senior CIA analyst told a Congressional committee that six key CIA analysts had been bribed by the agency to abandon their conclusion that Covid originated in a lab leak...

How Trump Is Quickly Dismantling The Climate-Industrial Complex - Climate Change Dispatch

A flurry of executive orders signals the end of climate ideology in policy.Dr. Matthew Wielicki 
Compared to his predecessors, including President Biden, Trump’s use of executive orders has always been unapologetically direct.
Let’s examine each executive order, exploring its content and potential impact on climate science, energy policy, and the broader dismantling of the climate-industrial complex.
1. Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions
This order lays the groundwork by rescinding a wide range of Biden-era executive actions that prioritized climate change over economic and energy concerns.
These include rollbacks on regulations for fossil fuel projects, emissions standards, and the federal government’s expansive climate-related spending.
2. Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government...

Comer Tells Schweizer: How AG Pam Bondi Could Still Nail the Biden Crime Family

One very disappointed man joined The Drill Down podcast this week – Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House government oversight committee, which last year gathered all sorts of evidence linking the Biden family to the influence-peddling scheme that got Hunter Biden prosecuted for tax evasion, among other crimes. He just published a best-selling book, All the President’s Money, detailing all of what his committee learned from testimony, subpoenaed bank records, and the previous work of Peter Schweizer and the Government Accountability Institute in the books Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Does Comer think there is anything that can still be done?

Trump State Department reportedly tells embassies: Scrap the LGBT and BLM activist flags. Only Old Glory flies. | Blaze Media

Under the Biden administration, the non-straight activist flag and the colors of the identitarian leftist group Black Lives Matter were routinely hoisted above American embassies and consulates, both suggesting Old Glory needed the banner equivalent of addendums and insinuating the nation was torn between competing allegiances. The Trump State Department reportedly issued a "One Flag" policy on Monday, bringing this shameful practice to an end.

Sorta sad, they do deserve to stick together "til death does them part".

 

Javier Milei Breaks Out VERBAL Chainsaws on WEF Over Trans Indoctrination and DAMN It's Glorious (Watch)

Remember when all we could do was watch Javie Milei being a total bada*s while our own president was busy eating ice cream on the beach?  - Sam J.
How we could only wish our president was as freedom-loving and fearless as Milei?
Welp, we've got that now with Trump (who, incidentally also whooped up on the WEF) but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy watching Milei eviscerating the World Economic Forum for their woke push for the trans indoctrination of our kids.
  • This is of course pretty damn epic.
Watch:
Translated portion of his speech:
"From these forums, the LGBT agenda is promoted, wanting to impose on us that women are men and men are women, just if they self-perceive as such, and nothing is said when a man disguises himself as a woman and kills his rival in a boxing ring, or when a prisoner claims to be a woman and ends up raping every woman he comes across in prison. Not long ago, the case of two homosexual Americans made headlines worldwide; they raised the flag of sexual diversity and were sentenced to 100 years in prison for abusing and filming their adoptive children for over two years. I want to be clear that when I say abuse, it is not a euphemism, because in its most extreme versions, gender ideology is outright child abuse—they are pedophiles. Therefore, I want to know who endorses these behaviors.

Must read!-----Government by Hysteria: The Climate and Covid Hobgoblins Begin to Fade

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary - From THE DAILY SCEPTIC - by Tilak Doshi 
In serving those needs for safety, governments are more likely to get re-elected. 
Government by hysteria in other words, where fear and alarm are cultivated, then weaponised, for political ends...
The Climate Hobgoblins...
The threatening features of this genre of hobgoblins went through several permutations. 
  • It started with Paul Ehrlich’s famine and war through over-population and the Club of Rome’s prediction of inevitable resource scarcity. 
  • It then morphed into global cooling during the 1970s, 
  • before finally settling for global warming (now called ‘climate change’) due to effects of greenhouse gases. The focus is on the trace gas carbon dioxide mainly emitted by humans combusting fuels for industry, cooking, heating, cooling and transport...
The story is that the CO2 hobgoblins are the control knob of climate and, by extension, our cataclysmic future, a theory spread via the panic of a Swedish school drop-out who deleted her predictive tweet about the end of the world by 2023...

"Merit" is their fear!

Tom Homan reveals how many illegal immigrants were picked up by ICE on first day of Trump administration | Blaze Media

Homan went on to repeat that while all illegal immigrants are once again subject to deportation, the Trump administration is going to direct the current resources on hand to go after public safety threats.

"And just yesterday, in the last 24 hours, ICE arrested over 308 serious criminals. Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some of them raped a child. Some were a sexual assault of a child. So ICE is doing their job, and they’re prioritizing just as the president said they would. So ICE is performing excellent right now out in the field. And they’re going to continue every day," he continued.

Trump can fix biased, bloated bureaucracy — by abolishing the civil service By Glenn H. Reynolds

A new broom sweeps clean, goes the old saying, but President Trump needs to approach the federal bureaucracy with more than just a broom. -Glenn H. Reynolds
Maybe something like a bulldozer.
  • With an imminent budget crisis — on her way out the door, Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen informed us that, oh by the way, the federal government was out of cash...
And there’s another move that Trump should take, one that will not only save money and improve efficiency, but also return the United States to the Founders’ intent: He should abandon the bloated, unconstitutional federal civil-service system...
  • Under our “professional” civil service, though, no one is really in charge.
  • Presidents can’t fire the government’s many middle, and even fairly senior, managers without a lot of hassle.
The thought was that this would give us an efficient, well-run government staffed by politically neutral, expert bureaucrats. We don’t have those.
  • They’re not neutral, for one thing; they’re Democratic apparatchiks who can’t be fired by a Republican president — or a Democratic one, for that matter...
  • A recent poll by Scott Rasmussen’s Napolitan Institute found that huge numbers of federal managers — 42% — would do their best to resist the Trump administration’s initiatives, something we saw occurring during Trump’s first term.
  • Not only that, they’re not experts, either: I defy anyone to examine the record of the federal bureaucracy over the past decade and suggest that it reeks of expertise.
  • It just plain reeks...

Trump DOJ Set to Crack Down on State and Local Officials Who Oppose Deportation Efforts: Memo

Trump DOJ Set to Crack Down on State and Local Officials Who Oppose Deportation Efforts: Memo

he administration of President Donald Trump, clearly expecting pushback to immigration enforcement from Democrat-run states and cities, has issued a new memo meant to ensure their compliance.

Emil Bove, acting deputy attorney general at the Justice Department, wrote in a memo to staffers Tuesday that the supremacy clause of the Constitution requires “state and local actors to comply with the Executive Branch’s immigration enforcement initiatives,” according to a copy of the memo obtained by The Washington Post.

“Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands,” Bove wrote.

The "Science" is filled with greedy fraudsters!-----Medical Journals as Gatekeepers: A Broken System

Research challenging the safety of Covid-19 vaccines is being silenced by medical journals, stifling critical debate. - Maryanne Demasi, PhD 
Medical journals are increasingly acting as gatekeepers, promoting established narratives while sidelining research that challenges the status quo.
  • Studies questioning the safety of Covid-19 vaccines, for example, are often dismissed outright, denied the opportunity to undergo peer review.
In some instances, even studies that pass rigorous peer review are later retracted due to external pressures.
  • One such example involves a study on adverse events following the Covaxin vaccine, which was retracted after the journal faced pressure from the vaccine manufacturer. The authors were subsequently sued for defamation.
  • Similarly, a narrative review examining lessons learned from the global roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine campaign was retracted post-peer review, with no clear explanation provided...
