What Democrats Just Did to a Republican Representative in Maine Will Shock and Disgust You By Bonchie

Democrats in Maine have not only censured a Republican representative for speaking the truth about biological reality regarding transgenderism and sports, but left-wing House Speaker Ryan Fecteau has now barred her from voting and speaking.
At the center of the controversy is a Facebook post that Republican House Rep. Laurel Libby made. 

In it, she posted a picture of a "transgender girl" (a biological male) who recently won the Maine state championship in pole-vaulting. 

For context, he had competed as a boy (which he is) just one year prior.
For that grave sin, Libby was stripped of her voting rights in the Maine House and banned from speaking on the record...

The Social Credit Score Genie is Out of the Bottle DAVID BLACKMON

It is no secret that globalists at the WEF and other internationalist organizations view implementation of a global social credit score system based on individual carbon use as the end game for their agenda.

• WEF overtly boasts about this in its Agenda 2030 literature.

China has maintained a social credit score system for many years now, and the globalists view it not as a threat to human freedoms but as an opportunity for them and their fellow elites to control human behavior using climate alarmism as the justifying motive.

• Anyone thinking that implementation of any such system is years off into the future and can somehow be prevented should probably think again. 
• Not only is it coming, but it’s also coming far faster than anyone might have anticipated....

Once this sort of technology gains universal adoption, every government on earth will be able to easily track every transaction and monitor and assess literally every move you make. 

Climate zealots will then be able to assign each and every one of us social credit scores based on your carbon emissions, and those social credit scores will then be used to control what you are and are not allowed to do...

House passes Melania Trump-backed revenge porn, deep fake bill: TAKE IT DOWN Act | Fox News: 

It specifically prohibits online publication of "intimate visual depictions" of an adult subject "where publication is intended to cause or does cause harm to the subject, and where the depiction was published without the subject’s consent or, in the case of an authentic depiction, was created or obtained under circumstances where the adult had a reasonable expectation of privacy," as well as "a minor subject where publication is intended to abuse or harass the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person."

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming | Facebook - Julius Sanks

"The NCA is mandated by Congress, and only another act of Congress could legally undo it. If President Donald Trump attempts to end it unilaterally, environmental groups can sue to force the report’s assembly and publication — which is what happened during the George W. Bush administration." (The National Climate Assessment is a federal compendium of climate science focused on how climate change is affecting the US)

— BWAHAHAHA!!! I learned long ago to read stuff on both sides. 

Right-leaning media are also talking about this. 

But I thought y'all might enjoy the alarmist whining. 

1. Yeah, Congress mandated the NCA back in 1990. 
2. I doubt it mandated who would write the thing. 
3. Only two of the 15 agencies have anything to do with weather: NOAA and NASA. 

All the Donald must do is assign people who practice actual science to generate the report. 

Depending on the law requiring the report, he might be able to dump some of the agencies.

• To our north, Canada elected to continue their decline. Their new PM is worse than the last one. He is a WEF devotee, and where Justin Castreau was Boy Bandish, this Mark Carney dude is Tim Walz cringey but a Bond level mastermind nevertheless...
• To the east, the lights are going out across Europe – again. What is it with these people?..The UK is arresting grandmothers for Facebook posts the government fears the Islamists won’t like and are putting people in jail for saying prayers in their heads...
• To the south we have the cartel-ruled, commie narco state of Mexico, the pipeline for fentanyl made from Chinese precursors. This is a nation that is really a confederacy of narco-territories, each ruled by criminal gangs who are very comfortable the elected government will run cover for them...
• To our west are Russia and China – either would be happy to see us go...

Illegal Accused in Kristi Noem Purse Theft Freed After Prior NYC Crime: 

One of the illegal aliens accused of stealing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse was reportedly arrested and released in New York City a few weeks before targeting her.

The suspect is identified as 49-year-old Mario Bustamante-Leiva of Chile, the New York Post reported on Monday, adding he was arrested in Washington, DC.

Prior to allegedly taking Noem’s bag as she enjoyed an Easter meal with her family at Capital Burger in D.C., the New York City Police Department’s (NYPD) warrant squad was looking for him.

The very definition of racism!

Liberty Lifter Ekronoplan Demonstrator Aims To Lift C-130-Sized Payloads

DARPA is eyeing a first flight for the Liberty Lifter X-plane in 2028-2029, which could lead to a much heavier-lifting production aircraft. - JOSEPH TREVITHICK
Liberty Lifter’s core goal is to prove out a new ekranoplan flying transport design that employs the wing-in-ground (WIG) effect principle. 

A future aircraft based on the demonstrator could give the U.S. military a new way to affordably move large amounts of cargo and personnel across long distances, and without the need for traditional runways...

Cargo, including light amphibious armored vehicles, has been depicted being unloaded via a large rear ramp, as seen in the video below.

Sen. Hawley Revives ‘PELOSI Act’ to Crack Down on Congressional - Stock Trading Sarah Arnold

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is again turning up the heat on Washington corruption by reintroducing the “PELOSI Act,” a bold effort to ban members of Congress and their spouses from trading individual stocks. - Sarah Arnold 

Named after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), whose financial dealings have long raised questions, the bill directly targets the insider privilege, allowing lawmakers to profit off the markets while shaping policy.

• This week, Hawley reintroduced the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, which would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks. 
• The senator argued that lawmakers should prioritize serving their constituents, not profiting from stock trading using insider information...

'Alarming': Democrats in leftist state now want to eliminate citizens' input to government * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Alarming': Democrats in leftist state now want to eliminate citizens' input to government * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

"What makes this particularly alarming is the inclusion of the 'safety clause' — legislative language that declares the bill is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety. The practical effect? Voters are prohibited from filing a referendum to challenge the law at the ballot box. It's an ironic — and telling — twist that a bill restricting petition rights also blocks any citizen-led challenge of its own passage."

EDITORIAL: Colorado welcomes foreign criminals | Editorials | denvergazette.com

Welcome to Colorado — the most desirable state for foreign criminals, drug dealers and human traffickers. - The Gazette editorial board

No one should be the least surprised that federal law enforcement found more than 100 suspected illegal aliens during the raid of a non-licensed Colorado Springs nightclub in the wee hours of Sunday. Equally unsurprising is that federal agents found deadly drugs, illegal guns and evidence of prostitution and human trafficking.
The detainees were not neighboring Mexicans here to frame houses and harvest crops. 

They were mostly from South and Central America — migrants who Mexican authorities try to keep south of the Mexican border to protect their citizens and resources. 

Law enforcers believe the detainees include members of the foreign prison gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13.
Foreign criminals aren’t here for hiking trails, ski slopes, mountain vistas and open spaces...
