Sad Collapse of South African Airways Through Mismanagement And Corruption

In August 2024, the Biden administration released a report by the inspector general of the Dept. of Homeland Security entitled...

..."Management Alert - ICE Cannot Monitor All Unaccompanied Migrant Children Released from DHS and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Custody." - Donald Sensing

Among other things, the IG's report informs us that:

• The Biden-Harris administration lost track of more than 320,000 migrant children who crossed the border without parents...
• Untold numbers of the children — who were released into the US to “qualified sponsors” — are now at risk of sex trafficking, forced labor and other forms of exploitation....

In July 2024, Deborah White, a federal employee of the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement went on record to report, 

“What I discovered was horrifying: children were being trafficked with billions of taxpayer dollars by a contractor failing to vet sponsors and process children safely, with government officials complicit in it.
“Children were sent to addresses that were abandoned houses or nonexistent in some cases,” White said. “In Michigan, a child was sent to an open field, even after we reported making an 911 call after hearing someone screaming for help, yet the child was still sent.”...

Trump to kill $7,500 EV credit ... and Elon agrees? | Blaze Media: 

Americans deserve a transportation future that prioritizes freedom, innovation, and infrastructure that works. That means more choices — not mandates. It means supporting vehicles people actually want and can afford, not forcing premature transitions through subsidies.

President Trump’s new tax plan could do more than balance the books — it could finally bring some sanity back to our roads. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Like I said....never been a President like this one.

 

Instapundit - WANT TO MAKE BEAUCOUP BUCKS?

Set up shop with a moving company to help the millions of Americans who are waving bye-bye to the 10 states, plus the District of Columbia, that top the list of Sanctuary jurisdictions. - Mark Tapscott

• That is, those jurisdictions that refuse to allow local and state law enforcement work with federal immigration authorities against illegal immigrant criminals.

Data featured by Issues & Insights pegs the number of movers from those areas since 2020 at 3.1 million. Here’s a partial breakdown:

• “New York alone saw 966,209 leave. 
• Illinois lost 418,056, and Minnesota lost 47,930.
• California is the all-time leader – it suffered a net loss of more than 1.2 million over those years. 
• In fact, the top five population losers are all sanctuary states....

That's what I voted for!

 

EIA Data Show U.S. Power Grids Dodged a Bullet With The 2024 Presidential Election

The previous administration's energy policies were destroying the US power grids. ED IRELAND - 
Stephen Heins 

Particularly egregious were the Greenhouse Gas Standards and Guidelines for Fossil Fuel-Fired Power Plants, implemented in May 2024, that required new baseload gas-fired plants to control 90% of their carbon dioxide emissions starting in 2032.
The assumption was that this would be through carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology. 

• However, since CCS is not currently commercially viable, these rules effectively made the construction of new baseload natural gas generation uneconomic...

Luckily, the 2024 presidential election halted the Biden administration’s disastrous energy policies.

• BOTTOMLINE: “There is no question that the election of President Trump came just in time for the US to avoid a catastrophe in its power grids. 
• With the rapid development of AI and other power-hungry industries such as chip manufacturing, significant challenges remain. At least we are now headed in the right direction.”

#1 This day 1980-----Lipps Inc. - Funkytown (1980)

There are enormous amounts of taxpayer money going into illegal-related lawyer fees. Here's how it happened:

Open Society Foundations and John Arnold (billionaire) bootstrapped Vera Institute for Justice and other NGOs with millions. - DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican-Clarice Feldman

These millions had a specific purpose; it was to scale out the network of NGOs from Day 1 of receiving their taxpayer windfall.

• American Immigration Council published a brief in January 2021 telling Joe Biden exactly where and how to disburse massive amounts of taxpayer money to go towards paying for legal fees. 
• They argued that it would be "cheaper" to provide unlimited legal fees for immigrants than to detain them. And the Biden administration did redirect that funding.

CAIR and Vera created a spin-off, Acacia, which operates under CAIR's strict control. 

Acacia would go onto receive nearly a billion in taxpayer funding.

If we get the time to do a full investigation we'll find John Q. Taxpayer has been footing the bill for the Nation's demise for more than a few decades. Watching the sundown part of the LA Riots last night it was just blatant we have Nations formed within our Nation and they are not loyal Americans period. Victor Davis Hanson wrote of these probabilities in Mexifornia, his 2003 tome, the only honest discussion of the subject. We have Chicano Studies Major's in most of our Universities, what do you think they teach? Just look in the Streets.

RFK Jr.'s revenge: CDC vaccine board FIRED after years of COVID lies | Blaze Media

RFK Jr.'s revenge: CDC vaccine board FIRED after years of COVID lies | Blaze Media: 

“Now, just to put this in some context ... Moderna, as a company, for over a decade tried to bring a singular product to market but was never able to do it one time, until the COVID vaccine,” he explains.

“So somehow, somehow they were unable to harness this mRNA technology for over a decade to successfully bring one, not even a single product to market one time, and yet, under the gun, the pressure of a once-in-a-century pandemic, they pulled it off,” he continues.

Saying kids should be ‘well-behaved’ makes you ‘authoritarian,’ U. Mass scholars say

Do you think kids shouldn’t throw tantrums in public? That makes you an authoritarian - Matt Lamb - Associate Editor

University of Massachusetts researchers did just that with a recent article in The Conversation explaining how “authoritarian” views are tied into opposition to “transgender rights.”
Most people, I’m guessing, would say “authoritarian” politics includes gulags and widespread censorship of the news. 

But for these researchers, it means saying children should be “obedient, well behaved and well mannered.” 

• “Those who tend to favor obedient children are scored as having more authoritarian views,” the researchers wrote.
• In contrast, less authoritarian people think kids should be “independent, creative and considerate.”...

Prosecutors explain: A judge doesn't get a free pass to violate the law * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Prosecutors explain: A judge doesn't get a free pass to violate the law * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

That earlier was the stunning claim from Hannah Dugan, a now-suspended judge, arguing that prosecutors weren't even allowed to bring a case against her after evidence showed she distracted federal agents, then let an illegal alien criminal walk out of the courthouse.

Dugan's claim was that she has absolutely immunity for whatever she does in her courtroom – even in the courthouse building.

Who the Heck Is Alex Padilla?

Also: Who cares? - Jim Treacher 

The people who told you Joe Biden was fine are now telling you Alex Padilla is a victim...
But for this very brief moment, he’s the United States senator known for this silly little stunt during a Kristi Noem press conference in Los Angeles.

• Trump has been shot at twice in the past year. 
• Riots are breaking out from coast to coast. Los Angeles is under curfew.
• Then some guy in street clothes barges into a DHS press conference in a federal building, tries to rush the podium yelling nonsense, and claims to be a senator while grappling with security.
• This is the precise reason elected officials and their staffers have armed guards.

They handled it perfectly.
“Don’t you know who I am?” Well… no.
Whatever happened to “no one is above the law”?...

Sucks to be Iran this morning - Don Surber

Trump gave them a 60-day notice to negotiate

The Islamic Mess of Iran with its motto “Death to America” funds Hamas because it controls (or did) Gaza, which was a 20-year attempt by Israel to give the so-called Palestinians a homeland.

• A war on Hamas is useless unless you make Iran pay a price as well...

MAGA Voice tweeted, “Donald Trump just told to Fox News that ‘Unfortunately some of Iran’s leaders won’t be returning to the negotiation table.’ ”
Assassinating Trump is a death wish.
Via Nick Sortor, Trump said, “That would be a terrible thing for them to do—not just because of me. If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions.
“There wouldn’t be anything left.”
He said that on February 4.

• Visegrád 24 tweeted, “On April 12th, Trump gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to reach an agreement on its nuclear program.
• “Today is Day 61.”...

But this war began nearly 80 years ago. 

We inherited it. 

The difference between Israel and Ukraine is night and day. 

Israel fought multiple bigger opponents and prevailed. 

Iran and maybe Iraq are the last foes standing.

• We didn’t start this fire but maybe we can put it out by leaving the Iranian regime in ashes.

Rich kids of Hollywood!
