The right is using the SCLP indictment to re-write history. Now white supremacy is manufactured. Another hoax to them. From Charlottesville to El Paso to Buffalo and beyond the violence is real and the victims are real. Calling it a ‘hoax’ doesn’t make it disappear. It just exposes the denial.

The mother of a teen who brutally attacked a girl on video is now calling HER SON the "victim" She is quoted by the New York Post as saying her son is a "humble Christian," a "quiet boy," and that the girl he sent to the hospital was "being a bully to him, that’s it" She said her son “doesn’t provoke nobody,” and that the attack caught on video was "retaliation because she pushed him first" The lack of accountability is STAGGERING

Just as I predicted yesterday…. MSM will falsely claim the Secretary of the Navy was fired because of Battleships. And the NYTimes is actually worse than I thought. Let me explain…. The mainstream media will make this about the ships because the defense “experts” never want more hulls. They want money flowing into consulting fees, AI “solutions,” and think tank white papers. Steel produces nothing for the Beltway class. A flight deck you can launch F-35s off of does not generate PowerPoints. But the NYTimes is running an even more sinister play. Throughout the Biden administration, and later during DOGE’s audit work, I translated every major spending bill into a unit every American can actually visualize: one nuclear aircraft carrier. Nuclear supercarrier cost: $15 billion. Biden’s BEAD rural broadband program, which connected zero homes to the internet: $42.5 billion, or roughly three carriers. Pete Buttigieg’s infrastructure package: $1.1 trillion, or seventy three carriers. Total DOGE savings to date: $215 billion, or fourteen carriers. Known Somali-linked fraud in Minnesota, per federal prosecutors: $18 billion, or one carrier plus an Arleigh Burke destroyer. Why do I keep doing this? Because for the past two decades the NYTimes has run the same story on loop: the military is the reason for America’s skyrocketing national debt. That is a psyop. It conditions Americans to believe that steel and sailors, not social programs and grift, are what is bankrupting the country. Human beings are not wired to understand $15 billion. The mind goes blank at that scale. But every American, left or right, understands the sheer weight and menace of a nuclear aircraft carrier. It is the most visible, most photogenic instrument of state power on earth. So the NYTimes runs the obvious play. Paint the carrier as expensive. Pile on delays and cost overruns. Quote an anonymous Pentagon source worrying about bloat. Then anchor the defense budget to “discretionary spending,” a small slice of the real pie, and express it as a percentage of that smaller number. The Pentagon instantly looks like the whale in the room. But Medicare alone, roughly $1 trillion in 2025, already eclipses the entire defense budget. Add Medicaid and ACA subsidies and federal health spending hits $1.8 trillion, more than double defense. None of those programs are labeled “discretionary,” so by NYTimes accounting, they “don’t count.” This is a magic act. The NYTimes holds a shiny capital ship up in one hand to keep your eyes off the social programs bankrupting the country in the other. Once you see the trick, you cannot unsee it. Every time the NYTimes runs a carrier or battleship exposé, ask one question: what is on the page they did not write? Nine times out of ten, the answer is sitting just outside the “discretionary” column, quietly metastasizing, while a Ford class carrier gets blamed for the deficit. America is not going broke building warships. Warships are one time expenses that last decades and are a tiny fraction of the total annual budget. America is going broke pretending the ledgers that matter do not exist, while a national newspaper gets paid to keep the audience looking the other way. That’s why they hate battleships. That’s why they tell you they are ridiculous and antiquated warships that are a waste of money. To make you think THIS is the reason why the nation is $39T in debt. And the best part? Their psyop works on both sides of the aisle… on liberals who hate the military and conservatives who hate federal spending. Battleships are not a waste of money. All the many fraudulent programs that cost more annually than a single carrier are.

Denver had 96 murders in 2021. Last year it had 37. The lowest since 1990 and the largest homicide drop of any major American city, far outpacing the national decline. Auto theft, burglaries, and gang-related violence also declined significantly. Here's what they did: 1. The police chief studied successful efforts in Boston and Dallas and mapped the specific blocks driving most of the violence, concentrating resources there with more officers, better lighting and cameras. 2. They’re now catching 8 out of 10 killers. Better evidence collection and stronger community trust generated more tips. And when criminals know they'll get caught and prosecuted, some of them stop shooting. 3. Colorado made every car theft a felony regardless of the car's value, closing a loophole that let so many repeat offenders walk. Auto thefts dropped 36%. But last month, the city council ripped out all 110 license plate reader cameras over fears the data could reach federal immigration authorities. This year, the numbers are already moving the wrong direction outside of police-targeted hotspots. A man walking his dog in Curtis Park was randomly shot and killed by a man on probation. Two people were killed at a north Denver park on Easter Sunday. The police strategy works where it's deployed. The question is whether Denver will keep building on what's working, or let politics take it apart.

He was supposed to be on vacation. Spencer Stone, 23, was dozing on a high-speed train hurtling through Belgium at nearly 320 km/h. He was backpacking across Europe with his two best childhood friends—three young men simply looking to see the world before life got complicated. Suddenly, a man emerged from the restroom, a Kalashnikov in his hand. In seconds, the calm of that summer afternoon plunged into the unimaginable. Passengers screamed. People dove under the seats. A French-American man named Mark Moogalian rushed to grab the rifle and was shot in the back. The assailant was armed with a pistol, a box cutter, and 270 rounds of ammunition. The train was locked, speeding along, and the police were nowhere to be seen. 554 people had nowhere to go. Spencer Stone had no weapon. No body armor. No plan. He got up anyway. Without a word to his friends, he started running—at full speed down the center aisle—directly toward an armed assailant who had already shot someone. His friend Alek Skarlatos followed closely behind. Anthony Sadler, a student, joined them. A 62-year-old British businessman, Chris Norman—a complete stranger—also joined them. None of them had to. They all did. Stone reached the assailant first, pinned him in a headlock, and forced him to the ground. The struggle was violent and desperate. The assailant pulled out a box cutter and slashed Stone's face, neck, and hands—giving him a deep gash on his neck and nearly severing his thumb. Blood soaked the aisle floor. Stone didn't let go. For nearly 90 seconds, four ordinary men held a terrorist on the ground as he planned a mass slaughter. They finally subdued him and tied him down with belts and a tie. Then Stone collapsed. Bleeding profusely from his neck wound and fighting to stay conscious, he saw Mark Moogalian lying a few meters away—the man who had been shot while trying to stop the attacker. His wife stood beside him, screaming in terror. Stone crawled to him. With one hand, he pressed down on his own wound to close it; with the other, he worked to save Moogalian. The young pilot managed to keep the wounded man alive—breathing and speaking—until the train made an emergency stop and the rescuers arrived. The surgeons who subsequently treated Stone said his neck wound had been only millimeters from fatal. He had lost a tremendous amount of blood. He had come within inches of not surviving. But he pulled through. When he regained consciousness after his operation, he asked only one question—not about himself, his injuries, or what lay ahead. He asked if anyone else had been hurt. He was told no: no one else had died. Thanks to what he and his friends had accomplished in those 90 seconds, 554 people were able to return home to their families that night. French President François Hollande awarded Stone, Skarlatos, and Sadler the Legion of Honor—France's highest distinction. President Obama received them at the Pentagon. The world applauded their actions. Stone consistently declined all honors. “I only did what anyone would have done,” he kept repeating. But that’s precisely the difference: most people wouldn’t have. When danger strikes, all your instincts tell you to flee in the opposite direction. The rarest thing in the world is to see someone run toward that danger—unarmed—for the safety of strangers they’ve never met. Three friends from Sacramento and a British stranger they’d never spoken to decided—in a spontaneous and unforeseen moment—that the lives of others mattered more than their own safety. That decision saved the lives of everyone on board that train. 554 people were able to get home. Because four ordinary people had chosen, without the slightest hesitation, to do something extraordinary.
