The Call is Coming From Inside the House!

Liberalism creates the very conditions it claims to overcome. Studies show that the more liberal/progressive you are, the more unhappy and mentally ill you become. - Michael Smith

Consider the following:
A terrorist (who is also here illegally) attacks innocent, non-violent, geriatric Jews using a homemade gasoline spray rig and Molotov cocktails and Democrats immediately jump into action.

• Jamie Raskin, the Snidely Whiplash of the House, sees the attack and immediately thinks, “This means we need to ban assault weapons!”
• Keith Olbermann, a guy too crazy for even MSNBC to employ, blames Trump for not deporting him fast enough – the guy was granted a visa by the Biden administration, overstayed it during the same administration and was rewarded with a work permit, which he also subsequently overstayed.
• Among the other non sequitur hot takes, CNN and the other usual suspects in the media can’t bring themselves to call this terrorism, to identify the perpetrator, or even identify the victims as Jews.

Democrats just can’t understand why young people, especially young men, are leaving their party in droves – even after years, decades actually, of telling them they are irredeemably racist (it is in their DNA), calling them rapists (and stripping due process rights from them in college settings) and telling them they have no chance at the American Dream because they will own nothing and be happy...

• I left Iran to enjoy the amazing freedom that the United States offers. 
• Now I find myself threatened with punishment for expressing political opinions—because they happen to be opinions that administrators don’t like,' said one of the student plaintiffs.

US Education in Dire Straits: Cheating is Running Rampant in High Schools, Colleges

US Education in Dire Straits: Cheating is Running Rampant in High Schools, Colleges: 

Artificial intelligence is making it even easier for college and high school students to cheat.

As more and more students learn to use ChatGPT and other AI tools, teachers increasingly have to decide if an assignment was written by a human, according to Axios.

“I have to be a teacher and an AI detector at the same time,” Stephen Cicirelli, an English professor at St. Peter’s University in Jersey City, New Jersey, said.

First Amendment question-Hypothetical: Washington Post hires a "stringer" in Gaza.

The editors know that the stringer is a member of Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization under federal law. - Clarice Feldman is with Washington Post.

• The stringer reports from Gaza, and the Post relies on his reporting, as they would any other employee, despite his membership in Hamas.
• The government indicts relevant actors for material support for terrorism. 

Would the First Amendment protect them from criminal charges?
Obviously, newspapers have had terrorist leaders write op-eds, and don't seem to fear criminal liability from that, and that seems correct. 

And media outlets can obviously quote statements from Hamas or Hezbollah.

• But it strikes me as at least potentially distinguishable to *hire* a known member of Hamas, allow that person to be "reporting" the news, and *not disclose* to readers that the individual is known to be a member of Hamas...

Democrats' $20 million 'manhood' plan backfires | Blaze Media

Democrats' $20 million 'manhood' plan backfires | Blaze Media: 

Democrats have a “man problem” — and now they’re spending $20 million on a study examining how to speak to their problem demographic after losing major ground with them during the 2024 election cycle.

According to the New York Times, "Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan” was created by the party to "study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces" of male voters.

Says much about the disaster that is the democrat party!

 

China Can Cause Blackouts In US And Europe Through Solar Inverter Technology, Suggest Officials

Governments around the world are investigating and banning Chinese inverters after radio and backdoor kill switches discovered - Michael Shellenberger

It sounds like the far-fetched plot of a cheesy James Bond movie: 

the Chinese military causes civilization-crippling blackouts around the world, plunging cities from San Francisco to Berlin to Seoul into chaos, while invading Taiwan. Hospitals stall. Subways freeze. Data centers go dark.

But it’s not far-fetched. 

In fact, China just demonstrated that it has the power and may be willing to use it...

Remember the left's "...if we can save only one life..." lie??!!

Few bodies remain on K2, a pyramid with continual slopes. 

Most wind up at near the same place at the bottom, in ice which churns over against the rock.

WATCH: Jasmine Crockett tries to describe Dem 'playbook' on the fly. It doesn't go well * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Cohen, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Crockett acknowledged in a March interview with "Lone Star Politics" that she was more focused on opposing President Donald Trump than passing legislation in Congress. In an interview with FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth, reporter Steven Dial asked Crockett what "the Democrat playbook for the midterms" was and whether the party would focus on denouncing Trump or discussing "kitchen table issues."

7 Hard Questions That Everyone Should Be Asking About The “Pearl Harbor” Attack On Russia - Michael Snyder

In a world where deception is running rampant, it is so important to question the narratives that we are being fed.

Ukraine’s “Pearl Harbor” attack on Russia was extremely impressive, and it appears that quite a bit of damage was done. 

But we are also extremely fortunate that this attack did not spark a nuclear war. 

• If our nuclear bombers at Minot Air Force Base, Barksdale Air Force Base, and Whiteman Air Force Base were hit in a surprise attack, would we show similar restraint? 
• We are literally closer to nuclear war right now than we have ever been in all of human history, and those that are mindlessly celebrating Ukraine’s recklessness don’t seem to have any idea. 

Striking Russia’s strategic nuclear assets is a really, really, really bad idea. 

Now Vladimir Putin will feel compelled to respond very forcefully, and the Ukrainians are very much counting on that. 

The following are 7 hard questions that everyone should be asking about the “Pearl Harbor” attack on Russia…

• #1 Does anyone actually believe that Ukraine was able to pull this off without any outside help?...
