'Shredding documents as we speak': Top Republican claims Epstein Files may have been destroyed * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff

'Shredding documents as we speak': Top Republican claims Epstein Files may have been destroyed * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff: 

"One of my biggest fears, which I expressed with [FBI Director] Kash Patel and a lot of people, including [White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy] Stephen Miller, going into the new administration, was this: I hope they're not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition.

"I said, 'I hope they're not shredding documents.' But you all need to go on that first day and try to get all this stuff released, because my fear – based on what I've dealt with in investigations and in communication with this deep state apparatus – is that they're probably in there shredding documents as we speak. So, hopefully someone has a copy of that."

How Activists And Flawed Data Created The Illusion Of A Climate Apocalypse - Climate Change Dispatch

Climatologist exposes climate science's biggest lie. - by Dr. Matthew Wielicki 
One of the most influential and deceptive climate graphics circulating today did not originate in any peer-reviewed scientific publication.
Instead, after a thorough investigation, I traced its roots to a 2018 activist document titled “Don’t Mention the Emergency?“ published by the Climate Emergency Declaration group. 
On page 7 of this document, a graphic dramatically juxtaposes heavily smoothed temperature proxy reconstructions with modern instrumental temperature data, falsely presenting today’s warming as unprecedented and alarming...

‘It will probably lead to the end of the world’ — what tech bros really think about AI

TECHNOLOGY - In Empire of AI, Karen Hao examines the rise of Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI - Angus Colwell

OpenAI’s Sam Altman was sacked by his own board in 2023 over concerns the company was moving too fast
Sam Altman is one of the most powerful men there has ever been. 

He runs OpenAI, the lab that gave us ChatGPT. 

He’s just turned 40 and he looks like he was AI-generated to run a tech company: casual clothes, big salesman eyes, furrowed brows. 

He tries not to think too much about artificial intelligence turning on us, he has said. 

• But if it does, “I have,” he told The New Yorker in 2016, “guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defence Force and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.” 
• He also once said, “AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime there’ll be great companies.”

What’s the most sensible reaction to this? 

I’ll propose one, it’s: Aaaaaarrrgghhh!!!...

'Snitches': Democrats declare holy war on Christianity, and Catholic Church confirms it will defy new law * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Snitches': Democrats declare holy war on Christianity, and Catholic Church confirms it will defy new law * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Majority Democrats in the autocracy in the state of Washington now have declared open war on Christianity, and the Catholic Church has responded with a volley that includes its commitment to defy a new law. At issue, according to a report from constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, who has not only testified before Congress on constitutional disputes, but represented members in court in those fights, is the state's decision to alter the confessional requirements of the church. "The Democrats have added to the four stages of the confession. Examination, confession, absolution, and penance may now be followed by incarceration," he explained.

Green Energy Suicide: The West Pays The Price For Its Net-Zero Delusions - Climate Change Dispatch

‘Clean energy’ kills wildlife, scars landscapes, and fails when it’s needed most. - Paul Driessen

Much of Europe, however, seems headed for energy and civilizational collapse.

• “Grooming gangs” sexually exploiting young girls,
• vehicular rampages and 
• knife attacks, 
• frequent gang rapes, 
• enclaves of assimilation-rejecting migrants, and
• native populations whose lower birthrates make it likely that legal and illegal immigrants will soon dominate demographics, cultures and elections – 

all are harbingers of slow but steady civilizational decline across much of Europe.

• Prolonging these problems, from Britain to France to Germany, ruling liberal/socialist elites are shutting down conservative voices and even entire parties that question or challenge government ideologies on climate change, the energy “transition” to wind and solar, open borders, and free speech...
• Perhaps worst of all, Europe may be entering not just a new intellectual Dark Age, but a North Korea-style darkness age – where energy is scarce and costly, factories close, jobs disappear, lighting and heating become luxuries, and governments increasingly control lives, livelihoods, and living standards...

Not that long ago!

 

80 Years After WWII, US Taxpayers Fund Europe's Authoritarianism

The United States has protected and bailed out Europe for far too long. - Hayden Daniel 

May 8, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the Allies’ triumph over Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe. 

Through Lend Lease and the destroyers-for-bases scheme, we had become involved in the European war much earlier than Hitler’s declaration of war on the United States on December 11, 1941...
Once the war ended, the U.S. decided to maintain a military presence on the Continent and extend its protective hegemony over Western Europe for two reasons...
And we’re still there today. 

• But if you look at the state of the Continent now, it’s hard to justify our continued presence and support. 
• We stormed the beaches of Normandy to rid Europe of tyranny, but in the decades since, the continent has succumbed to a wave of left-wing authoritarianism...

America needs MORE DOGE!-----Former Army Civilian Employee Sentenced to 15 Years in Federal Prison for $100 Million Fraud Scheme | United States Department of Justice

Janet Yamanaka Mello, the civilian Army employee who stole over $108 million from a grant program designed to provide services to military dependents and their families was sentenced today to 180 months in prison for five counts of mail fraud and five counts of filing a false tax return.

• In or around December 2016 through at least August 29, 2023, Mello formed a business she called Child Health and Youth Lifelong Development (CHYLD). 
• The sole purpose of CHYLD was to receive grant funds from the 4-H Military Partnership Grant program, which Mello fraudulently secured by way of her position as a CYS financial program manager.

Once Mello received a grant check, she deposited the check into her bank account, spending the money on clothing, jewelry, vehicles and real estate...

Dems' favorite MS-13 associate ran human trafficking operations, says ex-boss | Blaze Media

Dems' favorite MS-13 associate ran human trafficking operations, says ex-boss | Blaze Media: 

Abrego Garcia's illegal entry into the U.S., his failure to appear for hearings on traffic violations, the domestic abuse allegations lodged against him, his links to a terrorist gang, and his identification by two immigration courts as a danger to the community were likely already cause enough to justify his deportation and to question his Democratic defenders' judgment. However, more damning information has come to light. In the wake of the Tennessee Star's publication of footage showing Abrego Garcia's Nov. 30, 2022, encounter with Tennessee Highway Patrol and confirmation of the Department of Justice's investigation into the traffic stop, ABC News reported that the Salvadoran's boss has outed him as an human trafficker.

CFTC 'Staff' Placed on Leave Amid Investigation Beege Welborn

"I’m disturbed by the many accounts of serious misconduct by former union leadership in this report —including a lengthy scheme to defraud the American taxpayer over many years..."  - Beege Welborn
Seemed noteworthy at the time, but there wasn't a lot of information besides what was actually IN the announcement itself.

The government's Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulates the commodities and derivatives markets.

...the CFTC has placed staff on administrative leave for potential violations of laws, government ethics requirements and professional rules of conduct. Investigations are currently ongoing into these matters and the CFTC will provide updates as appropriate. 

What sort of hanky-panky was going on, and how did they find it?...

Commies gonna commie - by Tom Knighton

Commies have got to spy on capitalists because communists can’t create, only steal. - Tom Knighton

And while China might produce low-cost stuff and have something resembling private ownership to some degree, at heart, they’re still commies and they’re still eager to steal stuff from the West.
Which Stanford has been reminded of.

This summer, a CCP agent impersonated a Stanford student.
Under the alias Charles Chen, he approached several students through social media.
Anna*, a Stanford student conducting sensitive research on China, began receiving unexpected messages from Charles Chen.
At first, Charles's outreach seemed benign: he asked about networking opportunities.
But soon, his messages took a strange turn...

After interviewing multiple anonymous Stanford faculty, students, and China experts, we can confirm that the CCP is orchestrating a widespread intelligence-gathering campaign at Stanford. 

In short, “there are Chinese spies at Stanford.”...
The problem is that, as the experts noted, China is looking for “sympathetic Stanford students.”

• In this day and age, that’s not exactly difficult...

NGOs Are "The Biggest Scam Ever" As Another $20 Million Grant of Inflation Reduction Act Funds Illustrates

We have been living under NGO domination of our politics and our news for decades now, and it’s only gotten worse over time.  - Thomas J Shepstone
Elon Musk...the following remarks by him represent a major contribution to saving Western civilization from the massive corruption that’s now endemic among our institutions:

...The scam of which Musk speaks is, in fact, blatant today and I have another example from the Data Republican website to share.

It’s a $20,452,614 grant made to an NGO called “Day One” out of Pasadena, California. Day One describes itself as follows:
Day One is a community-based nonprofit organization with a 38-year history of providing effective, high quality and culturally-sensitive public health education, intervention, and policy development in the San Gabriel Valley.

The organization’s latest 990 return indicates it took in $2,474,402 in revenue that years, had net assets of $490,035, and managed to lose $190,839. 

Yet, Joe Biden’s EPA rushed $20,452,614 out the door under the Inflation Reduction Act at the last minute for this...

Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce transgender ban in U.S. military * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce transgender ban in U.S. military * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

As people who follow the science know, changing from male to female or vice versa doesn't happen, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level. The CBS report noted the Pentagon disbursed some $52 million on medical "care" to treat gender dysphoria between 2015 and 2024. The Supreme Court's ruling came in a case from Washington state on behalf of "seven transgender service members" and others.
