DOGE uncovers people who HAVEN'T BEEN BORN demanding unemployment * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

DOGE uncovers people who HAVEN'T BEEN BORN demanding unemployment * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

If you thought the USAID-funded gay sex comic books and DEI-promoting theatrical productions were bad, you probably thought the revelations about people who, allegedly, are more than 200 years old collecting Social Security payments were horrific. It gets worse. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, under the directorship of Elon Musk, has confirmed that thousands of people who haven't been born yet are demanding benefits be paid to them under the nation's unemployment compensation programs.

They are fudging the "science"!!-----Sunspot update: NOAA scientists try to hide how wrong they have gotten things - Robert Zimmerman

...games-playing by NOAA solar scientists to fool the public into believing they know more than they do.
Below is my annotated version of NOAA’s monthly graph showing the amount of sunspot activity on the Earth-facing hemisphere of the Sun. 

This graph is significantly different from the graph that NOAA’s scientists have issued for the past few years, with all the changes designed to make it seem as if these scientists’ predictions are on the money, when they have been entirely wrong now for two solar cycles in a row.

The graph above has been modified to show the predictions of the solar science community for both the previous solar maximum as well as the ongoing maximum. 

• The green curves show the community’s two original predictions from April 2007 for the previous maximum, with half the scientists predicting a very strong maximum and half predicting a weak one. 
• The blue curve is their revised May 2009 prediction. 
• The red curve is the new prediction, first posted by NOAA in April 2020.

I have also annotated this graph to indicate the changes these government NOAA scientists have made. First, their default graph visible to the public no longer includes the red curve showing their failed prediction for this solar maximum...
Second, and more egregious, these scientists added a new prediction — the blue line surrounded by a multi-colored range indicating margin of error — suggesting they now think the solar maximum is over and that the Sun is starting its ramp down to minimum. 

Only if you dig into the webpage in one of the explanatory tabs below the graphs do you discover that this new prediction was added last month as “a recalibration of the 2019 Panel prediction based on new observational data.”...

Tulsi Gabbard: We have evidence that electronic voting machines can be hacked! * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The report described Gabbard's revelation as "jaw-dropping" and explained she said, "We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections."

Yes!-----Senate Continues Dismantling Biden’s Green Energy Agenda By Voting To Repeal Gas Water Heater Ban

Senate Republicans continued their campaign Thursday to roll back stringent energy regulations that were issued during the final months of President Joe Biden’s term. - Adam Pack

The Senate voted 52-42 to repeal a Biden Department of Energy regulation banning some natural gas water heaters by 2029. 

The resolution now heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature...
If Senate Republicans had not successfully voted to rescind the regulation, Americans would have been forced to pay an additional $450 for alternative water heaters...

'How many men?' Ted Cruz demands answers from USA Fencing after male athlete was allowed to compete against women | Blaze Media

'How many men?' Ted Cruz demands answers from USA Fencing after male athlete was allowed to compete against women | Blaze Media: 

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) asked the national fencing body why it is not complying with federal mandates and gave a clear deadline for answers. A male competed in a women's fencing tournament in Maryland at the end of March, which sparked a protest from one of the female athletes, who refused to compete against the man. Female fencer Stephanie Turner forfeited her match against male Redmond Sullivan and was disqualified from the tournament, with officials stating that her DQ was due to her refusal "to fence an eligible opponent."

This is from "leaders" in the edjookashon establishment!

 

Newly declassified FBI memos detail concerns, payments to Russia collusion informant | Just The News

...was paid nearly $1.2 million from FBI over three decades. - Jerry Dunleavy and John Solomon

They provide the most extensive portrait yet of former FBI informant Stefan Halper, a Pentagon consultant and academic who, along with retired British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, was used by bureau agents to build the Crossfire Hurricane case against Trump and his advisers during the end of the 2016 election and the beginning of Trump's first term in office...
FBI agents ultimately deemed Halper's account to be "not plausible" and "not accurate", but the bureau proceeded to investigate Flynn, kept paying Halper and continued to vouch for his veracity as a confidential human source codenamed "Mitch," the memos show.
For instance, a March 2017 memo showed the FBI's Validation Management Unit wrote that it "assesses it is likely HALPER is suitable for continued operation, based on his or her authenticity, reliability, and control.”..

They were rooting for America to fail!

 

Lots here!-----Winning, winning, winning - Don Surber

President Trump once said we would win so much that we would tire of winning

• Final passage of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill likely will come in the fourth month of his second presidency despite majorities in the House and Senate that are so slim they make Twiggy look fat.

Obama needed 15 months to pass Obamacare despite overwhelming majorities in both houses, including a filibuster-proof Senate.

• Then there is the tariff war. Yesterday, I said, “World cheers Trump's 10% tariff.”

The media spun it into a loss. The media still believes in Russiagate, the Insurrection and that was just a loud noise in Butler last July. 

No sensible person believes the media narratives these days.
Jacktron tweeted, “China is not gonna win this. Trump has had four years to plan this out. All the other countries are caving and China will be the only one left...

• AP reported breathlessly, “China is reaching out to other nations as the U.S. layers on more tariffs in what appears to be an attempt to form a united front to compel Washington to retreat. Days into the effort, it's meeting only partial success with many countries unwilling to ally with the main target of President Donald Trump's trade war.”
• Where has AP been? Red China has been doing that for ages now. After 25 years, its BRICS house has 10 members—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates...

#1 This day 1977-----David Soul - Don't Give Up On Us

If you are surprised at the actions of both American and international leftists, you really shouldn’t be. Leftists gonna leftist.

Michael Smith - The only surprise might be how close American Democrats are to the Soviet era communists in behaviors and beliefs and that they lack the self-awareness to see it.

Even now, as the Trump administration works to strip the Orwellian thought crimes that DEI policies created, Democrat controlled states are working overtime to codify them into state law. 

• For example, a Colorado House Committee has voted 7-4 to pass a radical transgender bill that makes "misgendering" a "discriminatory act," takes children away from parents who "deadname" or "misgender," and pushes gender ideology in all schools, including private and charter. It essentially makes children victims of child abuse if parents refuse to go along with their child’s gender dysphoria.
• The UK has become a hell hole of authoritarian and dystopian insanity. While cheering the banning of ninja swords, people are being arrested for social media posts and a four-year-old toddler was just expelled from school for being “transphobic”.
• In a nod to third-world dictators the left in America has sent their shock troops into the streets to bomb Tesla dealerships, set fire to the cars, while the less adventurous soldiers merely key the cars or paint swastikas on them...

Worth your time!-----“Reversing the Endangerment Finding: Burying the Union of Concerned Scientists Case Against It”, By STEVE MILLOY

“Science isn’t conducted by consensus nor is there anything authoritative about so-called “climate science.” 

No climate model has correct predicted anything. No climate prediction has ever come true.” -From JunkScience

The Trump EPA is planning to reconsider the 2009 Obama EPA Endangerment Finding (EF) that labeled greenhouse gas emissions as a threat to public health. 

Here is the first effort [Web | PDF] by a leftist group against that. Let’s take a look at it, line-by line with my comments [bracketed in bold]...

Florida to increase number of officers who can help feds arrest illegal immigrants | Blaze Media: 

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced on Wednesday that Executive Director Dave Kerner was the first in the department to be sworn as an ICE Task Force Officer under the 287(g) program. The program allows state and local law enforcement to be certified and empowered to enforce federal immigration law during the course of their normal duties. Florida is the first in the nation to require law enforcement agencies to be part of the program.

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the message was legit and stated that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem “has full authority to revoke parole.”

“Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security,” the DHS added.

'Can't Make This Up': Ernst Explains Absurd Response of Some Fed Workers Ordered to Return to Office By Nick Arama

Federal employees showed up to the office — not to work — but to protest returning to work.
Here are some of the shocking things that she outlined to the Homeland Security Committee.

A Veterans Affairs manager responsible for scheduling veterans appointments posted on social media that he was “phoning it in from a bubble bath” while calls to the VA have gone unanswered. An Army veteran gave up on getting mental healthcare from the VA because after years of trying to get an appointment, he met with a therapist who “spent the appointment singing the praises of remote work with a cat draped around her neck.” He said that it was such a disaster that “now I’m just on my meds doing my best.” A HUD employee was arrested for drunk driving at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Friday and may have been paid for time spent sitting in jail, HUD had no idea until I told them. For more than three years, a Social Security employee was running a home inspection business. Meanwhile, his mother was responding to his emails.

Firearm shootings and psychotropic drugs in minors

Firearm shootings and psychotropic drugs in minors - Tom Jefferson 

To keep the issue focused, let’s look at the situation in the US. The FBI defines an active shooter as “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.”...
For example, here is the FBI - Sourced map for active shooting incidents between 2000 and 2013:

• In 2020–21, there were a total of 41 school-associated violent deaths in the United States, which included 20 homicides and 17 suicides. 
• Of these 41 school-associated violent deaths, 11 homicides and six suicides were of school-age youth (ages 5–18)...
