Please forgive me for cursing but WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING MEDIA????? He ignored warnings and they are now dead???? After what they put Hillary through for less??? Shameful.

Tesla reported paying zero federal income tax in 2025.

7 years ago today. It was always painfully obvious this exact outcome would happen, but Democrats just wouldn't listen.

Indiana residents are paying $600, $700, $800 a month in electric bills. Indiana is being hit with some of the biggest rate increases in the U.S. Data centers are driving up costs, BlackRock just bought one of the utilities, and people are demanding regulators step in.

BREAKING: A lone Republican member of Congress is finally asking, “Am I crazy, or is Jared Kushner going around making all kinds of secret, personal deals with foreign dictators worth billions of dollars without any Congressional authorization not a textbook example of treason?"

It’s exactly what I would expect from Stockholm Syndrome victims.

It’s strange that in this whole sorry Mandelson affair, the angriest I’ve seen any politician get is when Speaker Lindsay Hoyle exploded at an MP’s claim that Keir Starmer is a liar, which he plainly is

أُعدم أمس الطفل البالغ من العمر عشر سنوات، والذي اختطفه جنود إسرائيليون قسرًا قبل أسبوع! هل تلتزمون الصمت لأنه ليس طفلكم؟ لا تلتزموا الصمت! انشروا الخبر بسرعة!

Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”

ICYMI: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has admitted the DOJ excluded images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from today’s Epstein files release. Let that sink in. The government is acknowledging graphic evidence exists and chose to withhold it, while redacting names tied to Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful associates, including Donald Trump. Yet, nothing has happened for months now.

BREAKING: A Pentagon official said on hidden camera Tuesday that the US is going to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader. He was escorted out and placed on administrative leave within sixty minutes. Nobody has named the sequence. Tuesday April 21, 2026, James O’Keefe’s Media Group published a fourteen-minute undercover video of Andrew Hugg, Branch Chief of Nuclear and Chemical Surety at the US Army. O’Keefe called him “Top US Nuclear Chief.” He is not. Per public records his prior roles include Principal Nuclear Security Advisor to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Chief Compliance Officer as Nuclear Inspector, Manager of Nuclear Security Exercises in Ukraine. Former Peacekeeper ICBM launch control officer. USAF Air War College. Senior Counter-WMD operational. The branch does not matter. The sentences do. In a restaurant to a woman he had just met, Hugg stated on film that the US still possesses nerve agents, that a US Army chemist recently died from exposure, that US airstrikes killed children in Iran which he called “collateral damage,” that Ukrainians used US taxpayer money to buy mansions, and most consequentially that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei will be killed by the United States. Per RedState and multiple outlets citing the video: “If he doesn’t change his ways, yeah, they’re going to kill him.” The “collateral damage” reference maps to Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, 168 killed February 28, girls seven to twelve, Tomahawk strike, Pentagon internal finding of US responsibility, forty-six senators demanding investigation. Hugg also asked the undercover: “You’re not a spy, right? Your eyes have mesmerized me. Almost like you’re an intelligence.” Within roughly one hour of the video going up, US Army spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith confirmed to O’Keefe: “We have placed Mr. Hugg on administrative leave while we conduct a thorough investigation.” Hugg deleted his LinkedIn the same day. The response time is the interesting datum. Standard admin leave for civilian employees at this grade takes days. This took minutes. The signal reaches Tehran regardless. Ahmad Vahidi, IRGC commander since Pakpour was killed February 28, will read the video the way it sounds. Mojtaba Khamenei has been absent from public view since his father’s assassination. Hegseth called him “wounded and likely disfigured.” Reuters reported severe leg and face injuries. BBC Verify’s Sardarizadeh identified recent Iranian photos as AI-manipulated via Google SynthID. The Assembly of Experts member who tried to block Mojtaba’s selection, former SNSC Secretary Ali Larijani, was killed in an airstrike March 17. The moderate faction was decapitated. The IRGC pushed Mojtaba through a process NYT called a “Game of Thrones.” If the US is prepared to kill the son, the IRGC thesis that “Trump will blink” goes with it. Vahidi is the next obvious target. Treasury sanctioned 2010. Interpol red notice 2007 for AMIA. The sequencing is the signature. Trump on CNBC Tuesday morning said “It is regime change, no matter what you want to call it. I’ve done it indirectly.” Hugg on hidden camera Tuesday afternoon said it directly. The Pentagon escorts Hugg in one hour, preserves deniability, lets the signal travel. Thirty hours to ceasefire expiry. Witkoff and Kushner in the air. Mojtaba has no video. The restaurant conversation is now the most widely viewed statement of US Iran policy online, attributed to a named branch chief, with an Army statement confirming his removal. That is not a leak. That is a delivery. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk. The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision. The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.

Trump is about to lock 157 million Americans out of their own bank accounts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed an executive order forcing every US bank to collect proof of citizenship is "in process." And he just doubled down: "If Treasury and the banking regulators say it's their job, it's their job." This sounds irrelevant but here's what this really means: Per the Congressional Research Service, only 48% of Americans hold a US passport. That leaves over 170 million Americans without one. REAL IDs don't count. Driver's licenses don't count. Social Security cards don't count. Per Wall Street Journal reporting, banks will need a passport or birth certificate. The Brennan Center found 21.3 million voting-age US citizens don't have documents proving their citizenship easily available. These are Americans who are about to lose access to their own bank accounts. And here's the thing: The order applies to new AND existing customers. Banks could be forced to close accounts of people who can't produce documents. Your 78-year-old grandmother born at home in 1948. Your naturalized dad who lost his papers 30 years ago. Your cousin mid-passport renewal. The official story is that this stops illegal immigrants from accessing banking. But the actual reality: Illegal immigrants can't open US bank accounts anyway. Know Your Customer rules already require SSNs or ITINs. The existing system ALREADY blocks what this order claims to block. So who does this actually target? The half of Americans without a passport. Rural Americans. Elderly Americans born before centralized record-keeping. Black Americans in Southern states where birth records were historically unreliable. Low-income Americans who can't afford $225 for an expedited passport. The American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, estimates this adds 33 to 73 million paperwork hours and $2.6 to $5.6 billion in compliance costs. Guess who pays those costs? You do. Through fees. Through closed accounts. Through denied loans. Bessent's defense quote: "I have a place in the UK, they want to know who lives in every apartment." Bessent's net worth: $600 million. He has a "place in the UK." He will not be affected by this. So this isn't really about immigration. For the first time in American history, access to the banking system would be conditioned on proving citizenship to the federal government. That creates a permanent database linking every American's finances to their citizenship status. Once that database exists, it gets used by ICE, voting enforcement, tax enforcement, Social Security, and future administrations for purposes nobody has announced yet. Every future government gets the keys to decide who has a bank account based on paperwork. And Wall Street's reaction tells you everything: Bank execs privately called it "unworkable" and "a complete nightmare." One researcher called it "a way to weaponize the banking system to achieve political ends." They're not pushing back because they love immigrants. They just KNOW the compliance costs are catastrophic and half their customers will walk. Tom Cotton also introduced a companion bill in March making it a federal crime for any unauthorized person to "open or maintain a US bank account." Maintain. Meaning existing accounts. These things are literally being drafted right now. I'm surprised that all of this went under the radar.

OMFG

Trump’s executive order on mail voting would give the USPS, an independent agency, power over who can vote by mail. ​​The Brennan Center and other groups are challenging the order in court. bit.ly/4mhDqln

Fury as animal abuser jockey, Paul Townend, who rode Gold Dancer to £67,000 victory before it was put down after breaking back following a fall at Grand National Festival AVOIDS punishment. Townend continued to force & whip it over the line. 😡

Oh I wonder what other blackmail Thiel has to force more contracts down governments throat?
