Unequal justice!-----Maxine Waters...but the fact she was just assessed a $68K fine for multiple federal election law violations.

Michael Smith - As a preface (or postscript as I have already... | Facebook - Michael Smith

...It was Maxine Waters.

• Not necessarily Mad Max, but the fact she was just assessed a $68K fine for multiple federal election law violations.
• Then I thought about Dinesh D'Souza who, a few years ago was convicted of exceeding campaign finance limits by $20K. His penalty? Eight months of overnight incarceration in a confinement center, $25K fine, mandatory psychiatric counseling, followed by 5 years of probation.

You know the difference.

• Max Max is a prominent, sitting Democrat who will not doubt have her fine paid out of campaign cash. 
• Dinesh is an outspoken conservative who suffered personally.

Democrat Party Lawlessness and Violence, And The Women Who Drive It - American Thinker -  Allan J. Feifer

Two Israeli Diplomats were executed coming out of a Jewish museum in Washington the other day. 

Tragic on its own terms, it was also tragic because it is wholly unremarkable when you realize this is just one more small step up the permission scale and was entirely foreseeable. 

• If you want to assign blame, you have to focus your gaze on today’s Democrat party, which has conflated speech with violence, allowing violence as a response to speech, said that illegal aliens have the full due process rights of people in the criminal justice system, and egged on violent, totalitarian protest from those on the left...

A friend wrote to me, “There’s no difference between today’s Democrats and 1960s radicals.”
Ah! but there is. 

Women have been more radicalized than they were in the 1960s. 

During the 1960s, while women participated, including in the most extreme groups, most were milder than their male peers. 

That’s no longer true. 

There’s been a fundamental change in women’s societal roles from traditional to anti-traditional...

Supreme Court rules unanimously in heterosexual woman's discrimination case | Fox News: 

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled unanimously in favor of an Ohio woman who claimed she was discriminated against for job promotions in favor of gay candidates. The ruling, Ames v.

Michael Shellenberger: How China Gained Control of Solar—And Why It Matters

“It’s now been revealed that the Chinese—who manufacture virtually all of our solar panels, both in the United States and Europe—have been installing cellular radios inside the inverters, which can act as kill switches,”
 says Michael Shellenberger, an investigative journalist, author, founder of Public, and CBR Chair of Politics, Censorship, and Free Speech at the University of Austin...

• In this wide-ranging interview, we dive into key vulnerabilities in America’s energy grid, how Trump is transforming America’s energy future, the current status of the “censorship industrial complex,” as Shellenberger describes it, and his continued fight for government transparency, including around unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

Expert warns of CCP threat as Chinese nationals caught with biological pathogen | Fox News

Expert warns of CCP threat as Chinese nationals caught with biological pathogen | Fox News: 

Following news that two Chinese nationals were charged with allegedly smuggling a "dangerous biological pathogen" into the U.S. to study at an American university, Fox News Digital spoke to an expert on China who said the arrests should be a wake-up call to the country.  "I was entirely unsurprised, which is a sad commentary, but it speaks to the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP wants to kill Americans," Michael Sobolik, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute focusing on U.S. and China relations, told Fox News Digital after FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests of the two Chinese nationals.

There is clear evidence!

 

HAVE WE REACHED PEAK WINDMILL?

HAVE WE REACHED PEAK WINDMILL? Ah, where would... - Jacques Voorhees | Facebook - Jacques Voorhees

The alarmist class shifted from predicting we were all going to die from a new ice age (mid seventies) to we were all going to die from the Earth overheating (late seventies).
It's been many years now since these things were supposed to have happened:

• a) The Arctic, ice free.
• b) Polar bears extinct (they're at record #'s)
• c) Famines sweeping the world. (Food poverty is shrinking.)
• d) Coastal cities inundated and unlivable. (Nope.)
• e) Islands like the Maldives completely underwater. (Instead, they're building four new airports there and tourism is booming.)
• f) Hurricanes increasing in strength and frequency (The trend line is fewer of them, and less powerful.)
• g)The Earth becoming uninhabitable. (According to NASA, the Earth is "greening" rapidly with plant growth at record levels.)...MANY more!!

Running it like their own business!

'Put them all in an arena and let 'em kill the hell out of each other': Seething sheriff's brutal 'wish' for teen gangbangers | Blaze Media

'They’re just gutless punks who fired from outside the residence into a bedroom window.' - Dave Urbanski

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch may have just read the minds of the majority of citizens in his home state of Alabama who've had it with teen gang violence.

• A 2-year-old boy was shot in the face while he was in bed at St. Stephens Woods Apartments in Prichard around 1 a.m. Wednesday, WKRG-TV reported.
• 'And a message to the gang members is, "I dare you to pull a gun on one of my guys. Could be the last thing you do."'...

School board says 'family' is a white supremacist term | Blaze Media

Being objective is also considered a characteristic of 'white supremacy' culture, according to faculty member. - Andrew Chapados
A school board distributed the teachings of a faculty member who was hired through a race-based initiative to tell staff that families are a product of white supremacy.
The faculty member, Dr. Laura Mae Lindo, focuses her research on "addressing social justice" and was hired at a local university through what is known as a "black hiring cluster." 

The "equity-based" hiring initiative was for black and "Indigenous" people only, with Lindo being one of 10 ethnicity-based hires.

Remember. The entire "Transition" business is a BUSINESS!

 

Quiet Skies airport watchlist program terminated by DHS amid political concerns | Fox News

Quiet Skies airport watchlist program terminated by DHS amid political concerns | Fox News: 

The department says the agency was overly politicized to either benefit or hurt specific people and ran a bill of roughly $200 million annually. According to DHS, the program kept a watchlist as well as a list of people exempted. The department says Quiet Skies has not prevented any terrorist attacks but will continue to use other methods to assure safe air travel.

"It is clear that the Quiet Skies program was used as a political rolodex of the Biden Administration — weaponized against its political foes and exploited to benefit their well-heeled friends. I am calling for a Congressional investigation to unearth further corruption at the expense of the American people and the undermining of US national security," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.

Seems there IS a real racist here!-----Black Michigan State U. students demand ‘no hate ordinance’

“Hate speech” and other conduct should be further policed by Michigan State University, according to the campus Black Student Alliance. - Nancy Bareham

The activist group wants a “No Hate Ordinance” passed on campus, citing “hate speech and harassment, vandalism and administrative failures” at the public university.

• Black Student Alliance board member Missy Chola, for example, says she is a victim and “exhausted” after she faced a subpoena for calling a professor “racist.”

Professor Jack Lipton is currently suing the university trustees following what he says is a targeted campaign against him for criticizing former Chair Rema Vassar.

• According to Chola it is “racist” to call a raucous group of protesters who are disrupting the flow of a board meeting a “mob.”...

Why Did a Democrat Governor Just Halt an Effort to Keep China from Buying Up Land in the State?

Why Did a Democrat Governor Just Halt an Effort to Keep China from Buying Up Land in the State?: 

“The actual Chinese government, our enemy, was trying to lease buildings near the (Luke Air Force) base,” Shamp said, per the Arizona Mirror. “(N)ot making sure that we are protecting our national security or our men and women on the ground here in Arizona is ludicrous to me.”

Senate Bill 1109 would have prevented China from having a stake of 30 percent or more in Arizona property.

The Moment D-Day Was Announced

A smart guy did the "homework"-----The discourse surrounding the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) has been a chaotic swirl of misinformation, hyperbole, and misplaced assumptions.

For weeks, the battle for our eyes, ears, and minds has been dominated by voices—some prominent, some well-intentioned—that have gotten it wrong. - Michael Smith
After slogging through all 1,038 pages of the bill and still finding myself confused, I turned to trusted contacts: former colleagues from my time as Chairman of the Summit County GOP, as well as insiders in the offices of a Utah Senator and a Representative. 

These conversations, coupled with insights from today’s Ruthless podcast, have reshaped my understanding.

• Elon Musk, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, and I were wrong about the BBB. 
• I owe it to you to tell you why I think that and why it matters.

First, let’s clarify what the BBB is—and isn’t. 

• The BBB is a reconciliation bill, not an appropriations or spending bill. 

Reconciliation bills, by design, are limited to addressing taxes and entitlements and require only 51 votes to pass in the Senate, rather than the usual 60-vote supermajority—a threshold the GOP should be able to meet. 

This is a critical distinction that many critics, myself included, initially overlooked...Read all!

Schumer is lying!-----Dems Screech About GOP ‘Gutting Medicaid’ While Ignoring Inconvenient Fact

Congressional Democrats have torched GOP lawmakers for working to “devastate Medicaid” in President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” ignoring fiscal projections that show federal Medicaid spending will continue to increase over the next decade anyways. - Adam Pack and Melissa O'Rourke

Though Democratic lawmakers have lambasted Republicans’ Medicaid reforms as an “attack on health care,” budget experts say the proposed savings do not cut Medicaid, but merely slow the growth of future spending. 
“We’ve all heard how this bill will devastate Medicaid,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said during a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday. “It’s the largest cut in history … It shows the callousness of the Republican senators when it comes to health care. They don’t seem to care. They seem to say, ‘tough luck.’”

• Experts and congressional scorekeepers’ analysis say federal spending on the program is not anticipated to decline over the next decade, but only slow down relative to previously projected levels.
• The House Budget Committee found that federal Medicaid spending will still grow 30% by 2034 when taking into account House Republicans’ $698 billion in Medicaid savings in the initial House-passed bill...

Charlie Kirk bulldozes through liberal talking points on 'toxic masculinity' in debate at Cambridge | Blaze Media

Charlie Kirk bulldozes through liberal talking points on 'toxic masculinity' in debate at Cambridge | Blaze Media: 

A believer in "toxic masculinity" challenged Charlie Kirk to defend his position against the "hyper-feminization" of the West, and the challenge led to a thoughtful discussion, even if combative at times. The Turning Point USA founder took on students of the Cambridge Union in the U.K. on Monday about various topics, but one exchange about toxic masculinity was especially engrossing.

'Shocking details': U.S. city gets sued for pouncing on family who dared to use words it doesn't like * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Prosecutors in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, filed charges against a pro-life family, the Knotts, for explaining their pro-life views outside an abortion business. They kept up the case, which essentially attacked the family members for their words, for months. Then when the trial was scheduled, they "folded" and gave up the "wrongful criminal charges entirely."
