Guess Who Democrats Want Reparations for Now

For years, the far left has chased reparations for slavery like a political white whale. - Matt Margolis
Now, that same playbook has taken a stunning turn. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) has decided that reparations shouldn’t be limited to people who were never slaves to be paid by people who were never slave owners.
Nope. 
  • She wants reparations for illegal immigrants.
You read that right...

Watch: Dem Lawmakers Mocked When They Kill Women's Month Bill Just 30 Seconds After Realizing They Don't Know What a Woman Is

Watch: Dem Lawmakers Mocked When They Kill Women's Month Bill Just 30 Seconds After Realizing They Don't Know What a Woman Is

It is truly remarkable to observe modern Democrats at work.

Indeed, after decades spent posing as defenders of women, Democrats now refuse to even define “woman.” In fact, they would rather withdraw a resolution honoring women than go on record as stating what a woman is.

Read all!-----Mail-In Ballots and the Odds of Fraud

As the Trump administration continues to reveal and target various forms of financial, tax, and welfare fraud, President Trump has issued an Executive Order directing a crackdown on one specific type of election fraud: the abuse of mail-in ballots. - John F. Di Leo
People who expected major surgery, or were away on business trips, or who were stationed abroad with the military, or were attending a distant college, have always been able to personally request an absentee ballot...
You voted absentee because you had to, never because you wanted to.
…Until the modern Left began to realize the incredible potential for fraud inherent in the process...

DHS releases new evidence against Rep. Escobar staffer over alleged ICE lies | Fox News

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released additional evidence it says confirms that a staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, lied about being an attorney for detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in an effort to meet with them and sneak in smuggled cell phones.

Like too many other dem-controlled states!-----Michigan's Utility Regulator is Run Like a Dictatorship | Michigan Enjoyer

One of the many things Democrats cry about regularly these days is how we live in a dictatorship run by President Donald Trump. - Matt. St. Jean 
But here in Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has used her power unilaterally time and time again.
From Covid protocols that kept kids out of schools to putting sick seniors in care centers where she continues to falsify death counts, everyone in the state has felt the impact from her poor decision-making.
  • Now in 2026, with one foot out the door, our globe-trotting governor’s appointees at the Michigan Public Service Commission, “voted” to allow raising the bills for every DTE customer by 4.6%, March 5—a burden increase of $242 million.
  • Then on Feb. 24, the MPSC received notice from DTE’s lawyers that they will be seeking yet another rate hike this April, but—don’t worry—it won’t go into effect in 2027.
  • Mind you, this all comes after the $217 million dollar rate hike in January 2025, also approved by the MPSC...
  • On top of approving energy hikes, the Michigan Public Service Commission is also the final word on energy contracts for data centers, solar farms that ruin local municipalities and windmill farms that light up the night skies.
Thanks to PA 233, which was signed by Gov. Whitmer back in 2023, local towns are powerless when the billionaire-owned companies come to town and take our farmland.
That’s a dictatorship, no? 
What happened to No Kings?...

Can't make this up!

 


Why Are Teenagers So Depressed? - Intellectual Takeout

On a November morning in 2003, Pope John Paul II spoke to an audience gathered at the Paul VI Hall in the Vatican.  - Veronica Baugh
The theme of the speech was depression...
“The spread of depressive states has become disturbing,” he said. “They reveal human, psychological and spiritual frailties which, at least in part, are induced by society.”..
In fact, studies show that depression has risen significantly—especially in teens. 
As a teenager myself, this prompts a few questions.
  • Why does the average modern teen show greater levels of anxiety than a psychiatric patient in the 1950s? 
  • Why is the culture of my generation one of self-hatred and depression? 
  • And seriously, why is crippling introversion the latest social fad?...

FBI Warns Congress of 'Major' Cyber Hack Involving China That Could Threaten National Security

FBI Warns Congress of 'Major' Cyber Hack Involving China That Could Threaten National Security

A computer security breach in the bureau’s Virgin Islands offices, first detected in February, has been reported to Congress as a “major incident” that could threaten national security, Politico reported Wednesday.

And it appears that the Beijing regime is behind it.

Look at this plot of Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) and atmospheric CO₂ over the last 450 million years.

You’ll see it clear as day: periods where CO₂ shoots UP while temperatures drop. Other times CO₂ rises and temps rise too.  - Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki@MatthewWielicki
The relationship is all over the place. 
  • This is pretty much conclusive evidence that Earth’s surface temperature is remarkably insensitive to CO₂ changes. 
  • If CO₂ was the dominant driver, we’d expect tight, consistent coupling — not this messy decoupling over deep time...
