Episode 1226 – RIP, Lindsey!

Donald Trump appears to have learned his lesson when it comes to Iran. I wish he’d learn his lesson about the rest of the Middle East.

A California school has come up with an idea to solve climate change. Sorry guys, The Simpsons did it.

And Zohran Mamdani is trying to get all the white people out of New York.

Some News:

Here is some news:

  • Lindsey Graham, a 23-year US Senator, was 71 years old.
  • The United States continues to bomb Iran.
    • They have closed the straight of Hormuz to Iranian ships.
    • All other ships have to pay a toll to pass the straight.
  • A bipartisan push to make Daylight Saving Time permanent is heading for a chamber-wide vote after clearing a key House hurdle.
    • The House Rules Committee on Monday teed up a floor vote on the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to enact Daylight Saving Time year-round — with an option to opt out. The committee approved the rule in a 6-4 vote.
    • The measure has the support of many coastal lawmakers and President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly urged Congress to make Daylight Saving Time permanent and end the twice-a-year ritual of changing clocks — a practice currently observed by every state except Hawaii and most of Arizona.

The Simpson’s Did It!

According to the Daily Wire:

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have proposed a method to “dim the sun” in hopes of reducing the looming effects of El Niño, a recent study revealed. 

As reports of stronger El Niños — the natural warming of the Pacific Ocean that affects global weather — by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) continue, researchers at UC San Diego have determined that damages from the phenomenon could cost the global economy trillions of dollars.

To combat this, researchers in the journal Science Advances have proposed an extremely far-fetched form of “solar geoengineering” known as “marine cloud brightening.”

Injecting these particles into the clouds would hypothetically bounce the rays of the sun out of the atmosphere, preventing the water from heating up, which creates stronger El Niños. 

While some researchers blame global warming for the increasing strength of El Niño, the World Meteorological Association said that “there is no evidence that climate change increases the frequency or intensity of El Niño events,” the New York Post reported.

The proposal from UC San Diego comes after a 2023 study they conducted involved two computer MCB simulations applied to two real El Niño events in 1997 and 2015, per the Post. The study found that aerosols released from an Australian bushfire brightened the clouds and hindered the effects of El Niño. The simulations run by the research team applied the same method to 1997 and 2015, which increased cooling and drying effects by 40%.

Co-author and University of Chicago postdoctoral researcher Jessica Wan stated that the aerosols would have to be “deployed continuously for an indefinite period of time,” according to the Post. 

As of now, there are no real-world plans to test out the far-fetched hypothesis.

They Don’t Want Them

According to the New York Post:

The City Council’s Italian Caucus demanded Mayor Zohran Mamdani amend his new immigrant enclaves map — which ignored Little Italy and other Italian-American areas of the five boroughs.

The caucus fumed Thursday over Mamdani’s map which didn’t list Italian enclaves — or big Irish and Jewish neighborhoods — but spotlighted 30 other areas, including Little Palestine, Koreatown, Little Pakistan and Little Odessa.

“You cannot tell the story of immigrant New York while airbrushing out one of the city’s most recognizable and historically significant immigrant communities,” the caucus said in a statement Thursday, calling the omission “incomplete at best and insulting at worst.”

The caucus said the Mamdani administration should work with historians and community groups so the next version of the map gives Italian‑Americans a fair shake.

A City Hall spokesperson said Wednesday that the map was designed to “highlight neighborhoods in New York City that have substantial foreign‑born populations from regions and countries around the world.”

The Italian Caucus pointed out Belmont in the Bronx, Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights in Brooklyn and Italian‑American pockets in Queens and Staten Island are also neighborhoods where Italian roots run deep.

None were mentioned in the map.

I Call BS

According to the Daily Wire:

Congressman Ro Khanna, the California Democrat considering a 2028 presidential bid, has spent the past week accusing Israeli settlers and soldiers of unlawfully detaining him and other Americans on an overseas trip.

On July 8th, Khanna joined a delegation organized by Breaking the Silence, a left-wing activist group known for its criticism of Israeli military operations and policies in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank. The group attempted to visit Khirbet Zanuta, a disputed site in the South Hebron Hills that has become a flashpoint in legal battles over unauthorized Arab construction. Israeli authorities designated the area a closed military zone, requiring advance coordination before entry.

According to Israeli authorities, the delegation had entered a closed military zone without prior authorization and was stopped by civilian security personnel coordinating with military forces. Video released after the incident appears to show Israeli soldiers directing the group to wait for police.

Khanna has described the encounter in far more dramatic terms. During a Fox News interview, he claimed “the only reason we’re safe” was because U.S. Embassy official David Brownstein contacted senior Israeli officials.

Khanna has not publicly provided evidence that members of the delegation faced an imminent threat to their lives.

Khanna claimed that “Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.”

Available footage from Khanna’s group shows armed local security personnel carrying rifles on slings, but does not appear to show weapons being drawn or pointed at members of the delegation.

Naomi Kahn of Regavim, an Israeli advocacy group that tracks illegal Arab building in Judea and Samaria, said Khanna used the situation as a publicity stunt.

This Is Equity

According to the New York Post:

The U.S. women’s national team won’t play a World Cup match until 2027, but it is still set to receive a major payday from this year’s big tournament.

The U.S. men’s national team earned $16 million from FIFA for reaching the round of 16 before being eliminated by Belgium in a 4-1 loss in Seattle. Under U.S. Soccer’s landmark equal pay collective bargaining agreements, that money will be shared with the women’s national team.

U.S. Soccer keeps 20 percent of the prize money. The remaining 80 percent is split evenly between the men’s and women’s player pools, meaning each team is set to receive $6.4 million from the USMNT’s run. Based on 26-player rosters, that comes out to roughly $246,153 per player.

The women’s share will not be paid immediately.

The USWNT has not yet qualified for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, and the final roster will not be selected until closer to the tournament. Until then, the money owed to the women will sit in an interest-bearing account, with that interest also split between both player pools.

She’s Going to Retire

According to the New York Post:

Caitlin Clark’s season has been dominated by the headlines surrounding the physical play she’s faced.

Now, a group of United States lawmakers is trying to make its voices heard with the WNBA.

Led by Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. August Pfluger (Texas), a cohort of congressional representatives wrote a letter to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert over what they have called “repeated acts of unnecessary physical hostility and violence” toward the Fever star.

The 11 Republican lawmakers said Clark has faced aggression on the court and outside the court on social media, and it’s time for the league to do a better job officiating things in real time.

“Clark has been hip-checked, poked in the eye, and struck in the throat during games,” the letter read. “These incidents go far beyond routine physical play, yet the WNBA and its officiating have too often failed to address these unacceptable incidents and hold players accountable. Recently, a player even appeared to endorse violence against Clark in a social media post, further fueling concerns about the culture surrounding these incidents.

“In addition, concerning reports suggest that many of these attacks against Caitlin Clark may be racially motivated.”

Things came to a head on June 24 — and the ensuing days — when Clark and the Mercury’s Alyssa Thomas went for a loose ball, and as Clark went to the floor, she was hit in the throat.

Thomas was not called for a foul on the play. However, a day later, she was retroactively handed a flagrant 2 foul and a one-game suspension.

Episode 1224 – Saving Democracy by Subverting Democracy!

Democrats are protecting democracy by subverting democracy…again.

Iran can’t seem to behave.

And when are these actors going to learn not to bash their own movies before those movies come out.

News

Here is some news:

  • Graham Platner is out as a Democratic senatorial candidate for Maine.
    • Democrats will choose another candidate (here we go again).
    • The pervert and Nazi has been accused of rape.
    • He left a message. Of course none of this was his fault.
  • We have started bombing the crap out of Iran again.
  • And today is day 4 of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing.
    • He’s the guy who shot Charlie Kirk.
    • The prosecution has introduced an entire timeline with video.
    • The guy is screwed. It’s not going to trial.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/graham-platner-has-a-price-for-dropping-out-report

Dumbass of the Day

What do these movies have in common:

  • The live action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
  • The Alcolyte.
  • Captain America.
  • Supergirl.

These are films that were undermined by their stars before they came out and the movies bombed.

Women in “The Odyssey”:

  • Penelope
  • Helenm
  • Clyemnestra
  • Nausicaa
  • Arete
  • Athena
  • Hera
  • Persephone
  • Calypso
  • Circe
  • Eurycleia
  • The Sirens
  • Skylla
  • Charybdis
  • Tyro
  • Antipoe
  • Alcmene
  • Jocasta
  • Chloris
  • Leda
  • Phaedra
  • Procris
  • Ariadne
  • Maera
  • Clymene

This movie is already getting a lot of hate simply from the previews (remember, no one has seen this movie yet).

  • Lupita Nyong’o being cast as Helen of Troy. Helen as having “white arms” implies a white Greek woman and that Nolan has prioritized diversity over historical or textual fidelity.
  • Elliot Page’s casting as Sinon, a warrior and cousin of Odysseus, has also become a flashpoint, with detractors framing this and the inclusion of rapper Travis Scott in an unknown role as evidence of “culture-war” or “identity politics” casting rather than story-driven choices.
  • Fans of classical history and “historical epics” have criticized the armor, helmets, ships, and general production design as anachronistic or more “comic book” than Bronze Age Greece.
  • Another recurring complaint is Nolan’s decision to use contemporary-sounding language in the dialogue instead of archaic or elevated speech that would mirror traditional translations of Homer.
  • The film is very dark.

So They Shouldn’t Know How to Speak

According to the New York Post:

Activists are pushing for Black English to be legitimized in preschool as a way to build children’s literacy skills in California.

The Black Californians United for Early Care & Education (BlackECE) is part of a movement to challenge “harmful language hierarchies and affirm Black English as a legitimate, rule-governed language rooted in Black history, culture, and community.”

The movement also seeks to “address how language bias shows up in early learning spaces–and how it can be dismantled.”

“I don’t want my son to walk into any room and feel like his voice is not valued or his perspective can’t be heard because he’s not saying it one way or the other,” the co-founder of BlackECE Ashley Williams told PBS.

She also remembered how speaking Black English is full of slangs and grammatical errors so it came with a lot of embarrassment.

BlackECE is a nonprofit organization centered around a 10-point policy plan that seeks to gain reparations and help Black children, families, and workers.

California released a plan promoting early dual language learning and calling on the state’s education system to support bilingual children in their development in 2020, but the advocacy group believes that Black vernacular should be included.

“We talk about multilinguals, but we don’t include Black children who may be African-American English speakers,” the Director of the Children’s Equity Project Xigrid Soto-Boykin said.

Williams also recalled her experiences in having to “talk white” and talking in her comfortable English and feeling insecure.

Episode 1213 – That’s the Leader of Your Organization?!

Donald Trump finally has had enough with Iran. It’s about bloody time!

And let’s go over the House Judiciary Committees hearing over the accusations against the Southern Poverty Law Center. It was great.

Well, It’s About Time

U.S. forces carried out a new round of airstrikes on Iranian targets along the country’s southern coast and near the Strait of Hormuz late Tuesday/early Wednesday, framed by Washington as “retaliatory” and “self‑defense” strikes after Iran shot down a U.S. military helicopter earlier this week.

What actually happened

  • U.S. Central Command says American aircraft and missiles struck multiple Iranian military targets, including radar and air‑defense installations and other coastal sites that Washington argues were being used to threaten U.S. forces and shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The latest wave of strikes began around 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter over or near the Strait; both crew members were recovered alive by a U.S. sea drone according to U.S. officials.
  • U.S. officials describe the operation as a “measured retaliation” intended to deter further Iranian attacks while avoiding a full‑scale regional war, emphasizing that the targets were strictly military.

Despite the fighting, the U.S. has both resumed getting oil through the Strait of Hormuz and even conducted at least one covert shipment in recent days.[reuters]

Current U.S. flows through the Strait

  • The U.S. Energy Secretary said on June 9 that ship traffic and oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Gulf are “rising very meaningfully” compared with the previous weeks when the corridor was more heavily disrupted by the conflict.[reuters]
  • The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that in 2024 the United States imported about 0.5 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate from Persian Gulf countries via the Strait, a relatively small share of total U.S. supply but still significant.[eia]

Covert U.S. shipment Trump referenced

  • On June 10, President Trump told reporters that the U.S. had “secretly moved millions of barrels of oil” through the Strait of Hormuz, implying at least one protected or clandestine shipment during the current crisis.[cnbc]
  • Financial and energy media framed this as part of broader U.S. efforts to demonstrate that it can keep at least some flows moving even while bombing Iranian targets and escorting tankers.[cnbc]

How important the Strait is overall

  • Roughly 20–25% of the world’s seaborne oil trade—on the order of 20 million barrels per day—normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the single most critical oil chokepoint globally.[britannica]
  • Asia (China, India, South Korea, Japan and others) takes close to 90% of the crude moving through the Strait, while the U.S. directly receives only a small fraction (around 2–3% of those flows), which is why the U.S. is affected more through global price impacts than through physical shortages.[energynow]

The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT. At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Episode 1210 – Doesn’t New York Have Bigger Fish to Fry?

New York has a lot of problems. But they seems to always deflect from those problems to push their woke crap.

The colleges in California, and throughout the country, are finding that a lot of kids entering their schools can’t hack it. They have and idea on how to fix it.

And I am going to talk about a couple of incidents that we’re not talking about here. But it is coming here.

Here We Go Again!

https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2062017783643152437/video/1

Ridiculous

https://twitter.com/StateDept/status/2062214237569642709/video/1

This Is the Biggest Problem in New York?

According to Perplexity:

New York lawmakers have passed a bill that would systematically replace the words “mother” and “father” with gender‑neutral terms like “gestating parent” and “non‑gestating parent” in state family‑related laws, but it is not law until Governor Kathy Hochul signs it.

What the bill actually does

  • In family court, domestic relations, and related statutes, references to “mother” are replaced with “gestating parent,” and “father” with “non‑gestating parent” or simply “parent.”
  • “Paternity” proceedings (to determine a child’s legal father) are renamed “parentage” proceedings, and “putative father” becomes “alleged parent” in the statutory language.
  • The changes are largely within family‑law contexts (custody, parentage, surrogacy, same‑sex parent cases), rather than banning the everyday use of “mom” and “dad” by the public.

Status and process

  • The bill passed the New York State Assembly earlier in the year and then passed the State Senate this week, so it has cleared the legislature.
  • It now goes to Governor Hochul, who can sign it into law, veto it, or let it become law without her signature; as of the latest reports, it is awaiting her decision.

Stated rationale vs. political backlash

  • Supporters argue the update is meant to align the law with modern family structures, including same‑sex couples, surrogacy, and assisted reproduction, where “biological mother/father” may not match who is actually raising the child.
  • The bill memo says the goal is to use inclusive, gender‑neutral terminology so that all intended or functional parents are treated consistently in court.
  • Critics—particularly Republicans and conservative commentators—frame it as an ideological attempt to “erase” the traditional terms “mother” and “father,” and some local officials have publicly vowed to reverse such changes if they gain higher office.
  • In litigation, petitions and orders would refer to “gestating parent,” “non‑gestating parent,” and “parentage,” which could affect how parentage is framed in disputes over custody, support, and adoption.
  • The change dovetails with a broader trend in New York toward recognizing non‑traditional and multi‑parent arrangements (for example, confirmatory adoptions and recognizing more than two legal parents in some cases).
  • It does not on its face strip anyone of parental rights; instead it re‑labels the categories under which those rights are asserted and adjudicated. This is the slippery slope.

Well, Yeah

According to the Post Millennial:

Hundreds of University of California faculty members have signed an open letter urging faculty leaders to return to a standardized testing model for math and science applicants. The letter warns of a clear drop in math scores since the tests were abandoned.

After a 2020 legal challenge was raised by a student that argued the requirement provided an advantage to students who could afford prep services, the tests were eliminated. The group of UC Berkeley math professors sent the letter arguing that the college’s decision to abstain from test requirements created ability gaps so broad that instructors were having to teach middle-school math to college-aged students.

The professors cite concerning trends among math students in their open letter.

“Over the past five years, we have seen a widening divergence in mathematical preparation levels within the same classroom,” the letter reads. “This trend indicates that current admissions practices do not provide a sufficiently reliable check on mathematical readiness for STEM majors. The UC San Diego Senate–Administration Workgroup on Admissions report documents this crisis in stark terms: in the last five years, the number of students whose mathematics skills fall below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold; moreover, 70% of those students fall below middle school levels, reaching roughly one in twelve members of the entering cohort.”

The letter urged the need for the school system to bring back the ACT and SAT requirements as a “critical baseline” to examine whether students have the mathematical abilities required for challenging STEM coursework. It argues that schools in California can no longer reliably distinguish readiness for university-level STEM majors in an era of severe grade inflation and AI-assisted application essays.

The professors conclude the letter with a call to action, urging the college to take four steps:

  • Reinstate SAT/ACT Requirements
  • Validate Academic Readiness
  • Establish Faculty Oversight
  • Mandate Institutional Accountability

In response to the letter penned by the UC professors, UC Academic Senate Chair Ahmet Palazoglu made the following statement:

“In light of concerns raised by UC faculty about student preparedness for undergraduate study, in March I called upon our systemwide faculty Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS) to address timely topics tied to students’ college readiness and UC’s admissions process. BOARS is in the process of proposing a roadmap of policy work and partnership-building with other state and K–12 education leaders in the next academic year and beyond.”

The dispute comes as colleges across the United States grapple with the new era of test-blind admissions. While supporters of these policies argue that the reduced restrictions expand access, there are still many who see the emerging trends as concerning.

They Ain’t Quitting

According to Reduxx:

Entrepreneur and founder of a women’s-only application has been ordered to pay $20,000, with an additional maximum of $100,000 in court fees, to a trans-identified male after he was denied access to the platform. CEO of Giggle for Girls Proprietary Limited, Sall Grover, was also found to have “discriminated” against Jason “Roxy” Tickle by recognizing him as a male in a selfie he submitted for on-boarding.

The ruling comes after more than four years of litigation, with Tickle having first filed a discrimination complaint through the Australian Human Rights Commission in December of 2021. The latest and final ruling, handed down in the Federal Court on Friday afternoon, was a response to an appeal lodged by Tickle in August 2024 to a decision made by Justice Bromwich stating that Grover was guilty of “indirect discrimination.” At the time, Grover was ordered to pay $10,000 in compensation to Tickle and to pay his court costs up to $50,000. Dissatisfied with the outcome, Tickle further pursued litigation seeking a verdict of direct discrimination.

In a shocking new development, Justice Melissa Perry sided with Tickle, doubled the compensation payout from $10,000 to $20,000, found Grover guilty of direct discrimination, and ordered her to pay court costs for Tickle up to $100,000. In her decision, Justice Perry cited the Sex Discrimination Act of 1984, which was significantly amended in 2013 to include explicit protections for “gender identity.”

More of This

According to Reduxx:

A French women’s rights activist has been found guilty of “public insult” over a remark she made during a televised debate with a trans-identified male. Dora Moutot was informed on May 20 that she had been convicted of “public insult against a person or group of people on account of their sex, sexual orientation or gender identity” due to her comment that women are “wary of people with penises.”

Moutot made the statement during an October 2022 episode of the popular talk show Quelle Époque!, where she had been invited as a guest to debate a trans-identified male named Marie Cau, the mayor of Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes. While discussing the issue of men who claim to be transgender women, Moutot stated that women have a need to be cautious in the presence of “people with penises.”

In its ruling, the court argued that Moutot had reduced “transgender women” to “their male attribute.”

“By referring to them as ‘penis people’ whom ‘women’ are ‘forced to distrust’, the defendant first assigns transgender women to their penis, that is, to their male sexual attribute of birth, while denying their female gender identity since they are opposed to ‘women’, the defendant thus implicitly considering that transgender women are not women,” the verdict read.

“This statement, which in a generalizing and essentializing way denies the gender identity of those concerned and assigns them to a masculine sexual attribute by associating the latter with a state of danger for cisgender women, is outrageous towards transgender women because of their sex and their gender identity.”

Incredibly Moutot was fined €1,000, to be paid to the state, as well as the payment of €500 in damages to each of the three trans activist associations who backed Cau’s legal complaint, and an additional €2,000 to cover the court costs, which had come from public funding.

Episode 1209 – They Really Care more About Foreigners Than You!

Bernie Sanders has decided to introduce a bill that would seize companies working on Artificial Intelligence.

A bunch of women in Congress want more time off because they are women.

And Zohran Mamdani bemoans all the violence being done to trans people. Too bad he didn’t do a little research first.

This is Unconstitutional

According to Perplexity:

Bernie Sanders has announced that he will soon introduce the “American A.I. Sovereign Wealth Fund Act,” which is likely what you’re referring to.

What Sanders is proposing

  • Sanders says he plans to introduce a bill that would create an American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund, giving the public a direct ownership stake in the largest U.S. AI companies (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and others).
  • The fund would be financed through a one‑time 50% tax or mandated equity transfer on the stock of these firms, not on their profits.
  • That stock would be held in a federal sovereign wealth fund, with the government holding voting shares and equal board representation in the covered companies to block decisions deemed harmful to the public.
  • Sanders argues that since AI models are built on the collective work and data of the public, the public should share directly in the wealth they generate.

What it would do for the public

  • The proposal envisions that profits from this sovereign wealth fund would be paid out to Americans as cash dividends, similar in spirit to Alaska’s Permanent Fund payments and Norway’s oil‑fund model.
  • Sanders has also floated that, as the fund grows, some of the proceeds could be used to support broader public goods like healthcare, education, and housing.

Status right now

  • As of early June 2026, Sanders has announced his intention and outlined the concept in a New York Times op‑ed and social media posts, but the formal bill text has not yet been introduced in Congress.
  • Until the actual legislative language appears, the details (covered companies, thresholds, governance specifics, distribution formulas, constitutionality tests, etc.) are still somewhat open and being debated.

It’s Always About the BS

According to the Daily Wire:

Celebrating Pride Month, New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani shared an article claiming there has been an uptick in “violent killings” of people who identify as transgender. However, a review by The Daily Wire found that none of the deaths cited in the article have been classified as anti-trans hate crimes by law enforcement agencies investigating the cases.

He said, “Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City. Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation.”

The article was published by Them, which describes itself as “the award-winning authority on what LGBTQ+ means today — and tomorrow.” It claims to cite seven transgender-identifying victims killed this year, but both the report and its underlying source identify only six individuals.

  • The first victim named is Eryka Caldwell. According to the outlet’s own previous reporting, Caldwell was allegedly stabbed to death by his boyfriend, 38-year-old Jonathan Fernandez. Caldwell’s sister said he had previously sought refuge from Fernandez in domestic violence shelters.
  • Davonta Curtis was allegedly beaten to death by his boyfriend. Prosecutors say the suspect later stole Curtis’s car, phone, and money. Court records reportedly show the suspect searched phrases including “how to kill someone with a hammer” and “if a person gets hit in the head with a hammer while sleeping, what happens.”
  • Aleanna Royal Belcher was found dead in a homeless shelter stairwell with a stab wound to his abdomen. After completing their investigation, police said they did not believe the killing was a hate crime. 
  • Lucas Redbeard Knapp was shot after reportedly intervening in a confrontation between two parties. Law enforcement investigated the death as a homicide, not a hate crime.
  • Shyyell Diamond Sanchez-McCray, was found shot to death inside a home. Public reporting contains conflicting descriptions regarding whether Sanchez-McCray even identified as transgender or was a gay man who performed in drag. Authorities have not announced a motive, and the investigation remains ongoing. 
  • Dannielle Spillman died in a hit-and-run incident after a dispute involving a vehicle. Authorities have also not classified the case as a hate crime, just like the other five killings in the article.

Then Don’t Run for Congress

According to the Daily Wire:

Democrat lawmakers are pushing a federal bill to make businesses pay for female workers to take time off for period pain — an issue they’ve framed through the lens of “economic violence.”

The bill, called the Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, would require employers to provide up to 12 days of paid leave per year for female health issues, including period pain and menopause symptoms, and also covers abortion and vasectomies.  

Notably, the legislation would hit incredibly small businesses, too, even if the owner has as few as five employees. And it’s backed by abortion giant Planned Parenthood. 

Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), who attended the presser last month, said women are tired of being told to “tough it out” when it comes to their period and suggested the issue is also about ethnicity.

“While the system is broken for all women, it is in a full blown crisis for Latinas,” the Democrat said. “The nationwide 17% of Latinos lack health insurance — more than double the rate of white Americans. Over 20% of adult Latinos in Arizona have been forced to completely avoid medical care because they simply cannot afford it.”

“Latinas are the backbone of our workforce, and yet they’re disproportionately concentrated in low wage and hourly jobs that lack flexible sick leave,” she continued. “Forcing a worker to choose between paying her rent or losing a day’s pay to recover from a grueling gynecological procedure is not a choice; it’s an economic violence.”

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), who is sponsoring the Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, recalled during the presser the pain she’s experienced from her period.

“Today, we are here to talk about women’s pain and how long it’s been overlooked,” Ansari said. “Like most women, I have a very personal experience with reproductive health pain.”

“In the summer of 2015, while starting my career in New York City, I woke up on floor of my local bodega drenched in sweat being dragged into an ambulance,” she continued. “Two male paramedics hovered over me and continued to ask me if I was pregnant. I had passed out from period pain. Even now, every month, I have days where it feels like barbed wire is tightening inside me. I’ve taken 2,000 milligrams of ibuprofen in twenty-four hours and still been in tears from the pain. Often end up on the bathroom floor in the fetal position, crying, moaning, or vomiting. Still, I put on a blazer and gone to work.” 

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is also backing the bill. “I know that many of you understand that we’re sick and tired of women having to be expected to say, ‘suck it up,’ or still perform at the highest level,” Tlaib said at the presser. “They’re expected to show up to work despite incredibly painful periods and sit through meetings after being denied competent health care. And for far too long, women’s pain has been minimized, ignored, dismissed, and even politicized.”

What Did You Think Was Going to Happen?

According to the Post Millennial:

Just weeks after Seattle unveiled four “smart” public toilets in Pioneer Square at a cost of roughly $116,000 per unit, one of the high-tech restrooms was vandalized when someone smashed a window.

The incident comes less than a month after city officials celebrated the launch of the Throne Labs restrooms as part of Seattle’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and broader efforts to revitalize downtown. The city is spending approximately $465,000 on the one-year pilot program.

Photos of the damaged restroom circulated on social media after being shared by Seattle Submissions. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) told local media that the damage was repaired in less than a day by Throne Labs, the company operating the facilities.

The vandalism is likely to raise questions about whether Seattle’s latest public restroom experiment will fare better than a similar effort nearly two decades ago. In the mid-2000s, Seattle spent millions on automated public toilets equipped with self-cleaning systems and multilingual instructions. The futuristic bathrooms quickly became targets for vandalism and were plagued by reports of criminal activity and drug use. The city ultimately abandoned the program and sold the units on eBay for a fraction of their original cost.

SDOT has emphasized that the program is intended as a one-year trial and will be evaluated based on technology performance, cleanliness, maintenance needs, and public feedback. The city has suggested additional units could be deployed elsewhere if the pilot proves successful.

https://thepostmillennial.com/vandals-strike-seattles-116000-smart-toilets-just-weeks-after-installation-they-were-for-the-fifa-world-cup

Gee, I Wonder What Will Happen?

According to the Post Millennial:

Seattle is in the process of building a tiny home village intended to house the city’s homeless population ahead of the FIFA World Cup coming to the Emerald City on June 15.

Andrea Suarez of We Heart Seattle said that the Bay View Pallet Shelter Village, located near 15th and Armory Way, is being operated by Everyone Deserves Housing. “People moving in here will be the people most highly affected by FIFA World Cup or displaced by World Cup.” The housing village will be “low barrier,” she said, which means drug users will be allowed access, and the facility is set to open on June 8. 

Some things:

  • I’m sure Whole Foods and the storage building will be thrilled that this little “community” is going up.
  • Thank God it is by a liquor store.
  • How about you DON’T allow drugs in the area?
  • She admits there will be a crime problem in the area and it is up to the community to deal with it.

The mayor’s office initially estimated that the first 500 units, which the city has not shared what kind of units these would include, would cost $28,000 per year. However, they later acknowledged that higher support shelters could cost closer to $45,000 per year. While the mayor has identified $17.5 million from the city budget to go towards housing costs, it would only partially cover the 500 units if each were the more expensive $45,000 price tag. 

Supporters of the plan argue that while the shelters are not a permanent solution, they provide an immediate alternative to unsheltered living as Seattle prepares to host a major international event.

Episode 1194 – The End of the Country is Near!

The “moderate” governor of Virginia has decided to rig all elections.

Another promise by Zohran Mamdani goes out the window.

And have you ever wondered what airline pilots talk about with the control tower? Well, we know now.

What Going On In Iran

Here’s the news in Iran:

  • The ceasefire is supposed to end tomorrow in the war against Iran.
  • Trump says that it is unlikely he will extend the ceasefire.
  • The United States is capturing ships going into and out of Iran.
  • Some ships are getting through.
  • Chris Murphy, while in Spain ripping Donald Trump, is under fire for cheering on the Iranians.

They Cheat

According to the Daily Wire:

Bringing the United States perilously close to dismantling its constitutional foundation, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed HB965 into law, officially entering the Commonwealth into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). The decision has sparked immediate outrage across the state, as critics realize the measure effectively renders the individual votes of Virginians “null and void.”

By signing this compact, Spanberger has agreed to hand Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the national popular vote — regardless of how the people of Virginia actually cast their ballots. With Virginia’s entry, the movement is now a terrifying 48 electoral votes away from taking effect. The current total stands at 222 votes, or 82% of the way to the 270-vote threshold required to fundamentally upend American elections.

It is no coincidence that the states rushing to bypass the Constitution represent a monolithic partisan bloc. To date, every single state that has joined the compact is a blue state, moving the country toward a system where a few deep-blue urban centers could dictate the presidency for the entire Union. The list of members includes:

  • Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, District of Columbia, Vermont, California, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, and now Virginia.

This partisan rush to ignore state boundaries flies in the face of Alexander Hamilton’s warnings in Federalist No. 68. Hamilton cautioned that the Electoral College was not a mere suggestion, but an “excellent” system designed to protect the Republic from the very “tumult and disorder” that a direct popular vote invites.

The Founders were explicitly wary of a direct popular vote, fearing it would allow a “demagogue” with “talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity” to manipulate the masses. Hamilton argued that the presidency should not be a prize for the most famous or the most populist, but should be determined by an intermediate body of electors — men “most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations.”

Do This With Food Stamps

According to the New York Post:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitted Tuesday that the promised lower prices at his city-owned grocery stores will only be guaranteed for a core set of everyday staples.

Items in those so-called baskets of goods have yet to be decided, but likely include essentials such as bread, milk and eggs, officials said.

Beyond those essentials, the stores will also sell other foodstuffs and items. Officials said they’ll aim to make those items low-cost as well, but may not always be able to achieve the perpetual discount.

“When it comes to the products that we will be selling at the city-run grocery stores, there will be an essential basket of goods that will be guaranteed a cheaper price, and cheaper than what they’re being sold at currently,” Mamdani said during a news conference at La Marqueta in Harlem.

The already city-owned La Marqueta was the first location revealed to host Mamdani’s socialist pet grocery project, but he said Tuesday the actual store – which carries a whopping $30 million expected price tag – won’t open until 2029.

Other yet-to-be-decided municipal grocery stores will open before then, with the first expected to greet shoppers in late 2027, officials said.

Ugh!

According to the Post Millennial:

The Federal Aviation Administration has said it will investigate an incident that has gone viral in which two pilots were heard meowing and barking at each other over an air traffic control frequency.

One pilot was heard saying “meow meow frequency from Reagan National Airport outside of Washington, DC in audio first obtained by ATC.com. The other pilot barked in response. The audio was captured on April 12.

One person replied on the frequency, “You guys need to be professional,” which was met with more meowing and barking. A person replied, “This is why you still fly an RJ.” RJ refers to regional jet, where many pilots begin their careers. It is unclear which flights the pilots had been on or what airline they worked for.

Per the New York Post, the FAA said it prohibits pilots from engaging in “non-essential conversations” below 10,000 feet. “Conversations must be related to the safe operation of the aircraft. The FAA investigates all situations where pilots may have violated any regulation,” the agency said.

Dennis Tajer, a pilot and spokesperson for the American Airlines pilots’ union Allied Pilots Association, said he has heard meowing on the “guard frequency, which is reserved for emergencies, before. It is unclear what frequency the April 12 incident took place on.

“It’s not entertainment, it’s a serious frequency and it has a serious purpose,” Tajer said, per ABC News. “Anything that contaminates that with idle humor or any kind of schtick is not received well and it should stop.”

Addressing those meowing, Tajer said, “For the few individuals out there that do it: stop, join us, stay safe and we’ll keep that frequency sacred and protected.”

Hmmm!

According to the Daily Wire:

President Donald Trump’s administration is investigating the “troubling” deaths and disappearances of scientists and researchers who each reportedly had access to classified information at some point in their careers.

“In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases, and President Trump’s commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential commonalities that may exist,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Friday afternoon.

Her remarks came after Fox News’ Peter Doocy pressed both Leavitt and President Donald Trump about the eerie timeline, given that at least 11 scientists have died or disappeared under strange circumstances. All of these individuals have been tied to military, nuclear, or aerospace research, according to Fox News.

A spokesman for the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration told The Daily Wire on Friday that it is “aware of reports related to employees of our labs, plants, and sites and is looking into the matter.”

Trump himself said that he had just left a meeting on the topic as he departed the White House on Thursday for Las Vegas.

“I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half,” Trump said. “Pretty serious stuff … hopefully a coincidence, or whatever you want to call it.”

Amy Eskridge, for example, was an Alabama researcher who died on June 11, 2022, at the age of 34 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science and worked on “antigravity” research. In a 2020 interview with YouTuber Jeremy Rys, she described receiving “harassment, threats,” and sabotage of her research. Notably, she suggested at one point that scientists who had breakthroughs in their work would “disappear” or stop working.

The list of the missing and death of government scientists:

  • Monica Jacinto Reza – NASA scientist – Disappeared June 2025
  • Carl Grillmair – Astrophysicist – Shot on his porch in February, 2026
  • Nuno Loureiro – MIT Physicist – Shot in his home in December 2025
  • Air Force Maj. Gen. William McCasland – Vanished from his home in March 2026
  • Michael Hicks – NASA Researcher – Died in July 2023
  • Frank Maiwald – NASA Engineer – Died in July 2024
  • Melissa Casias and Anthony Chavez – Los Alamos Employees – Disappeared in May and June 2025
  • Jason Thomas – Pharmaceutical Scientist – Went missing in December 2025
  • Steven Garcia – Kansas City National Security Campus government contractor – Disappeared in Albuquerque in 2025

Episode 1192 – It’s Tax Day! Yay!

Yesterday was tax day! Yay! Wait until you see what they are doing with your money.

Pete Hegseth is on the bad side of a Democratic senator. I’m pretty sure he’s going to ignore her.

And Democrats are already showing what their platform in going to be for the 2026 elections. Will it work?

Have Any of These Guys Read the Constitution?

According to The Hill:

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced a bill on Tuesday that would establish a commission to examine whether the president is fit to serve in office.

More than 70 Democrats called for President Trump’s removal from office after he issued a series of blistering threats against Iran last week, including a stark warning that a “whole civilization will die” if Tehran didn’t strike a peace deal. 

Raskin’s bill would establish a “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office,” which, if directed by Congress, “shall carry out a medical examination of the President to determine whether the President is mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.” 

The commission is intended to carry out section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which says that the vice president should serve as acting president if he and a majority of the Cabinet or “such other body as Congress may by law provide” submit a written declaration to the Speaker of the House and president pro tempore of the Senate that the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

While the bill is unlikely to advance in the GOP-controlled Congress, it underscores Democrats’ efforts to push back against the Trump administration.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5830863-raskin-bill-25th-amendment

Bet You’re Thrilled About This

It’s None of Your Business

According to NBC News:

A prominent Democratic senator on the committee that oversees the Pentagon is requesting additional information from the Defense Department following reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is withholding the promotions of several Black and female senior officers.

She ain’t that “prominent.”

NBC News reported last week that Hegseth had blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military. Some of those efforts are seen as having been targeted because of their race or gender, or their perceived affiliation with the Biden administration’s policies or officials, according to NBC news reporting that cited nine U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Gee, I wonder why they were targeted? Could it be that they were given their positions because they were black or female and not not because they were qualified for their positions?

Hegseth’s actions have raised concern inside the White House, the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill, according to U.S and congressional officials. Some lawmakers, including both Republicans and Democrats, see the decisions as Hegseth taking too far his efforts to scrub the Pentagon of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, according to the officials.

Nope, I guarantee you the White House, Senate, and House don’t care. That’s because it’s not their job to make promotion decisions. Definitely not Republicans. And, yes, Hegseth is wiping out DEI. Trump ran on that.

This is just another attention-getter from another wannabe-presidential candidate that will probably lead to wailing about impeachment.

More of This Please

According to the Post Millennial:

A federal court has stripped a naturalized US citizen of his citizenship after finding he lied about a history of serious criminal activity, including violent extortion, during the naturalization process.

The Justice Department announced that Michael Pizzuti, a native of Italy, had his citizenship revoked by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York after the court determined he illegally obtained it by concealing crimes and providing false testimony under oath.

Pizzuti failed to meet the “good moral character” requirement for citizenship, having committed multiple crimes and then lying about them during his immigration proceedings. The court also found that he engaged in fraudulent concealment and willful misrepresentation of material facts.

Pizzuti’s criminal activity dates back to the late 1990s. From July 1998 through August 2000, he dealt in counterfeit currency, trafficked contraband cigarettes, and participated in a conspiracy involving truck theft and mail fraud. He was arrested and indicted on those charges in December 2001, later pleading guilty and receiving a 15-month prison sentence.

Despite that arrest, Pizzuti moved forward with his naturalization process just months later. On May 2, 2002, less than five months after his indictment, Pizzuti appeared for his citizenship interview and falsely claimed, under oath, that he had never been arrested and had not committed any crimes for which he had not been arrested. Based on those statements, he was granted US citizenship on July 24, 2002.

But his criminal conduct didn’t stop there. Between May and September 2001, Pizzuti carried out a violent extortion scheme against his financial advisor after discovering the advisor had been running a Ponzi scheme using his money. Prosecutors say Pizzuti broke into the man’s home, held him at gunpoint, and forced him to continue the scheme until enough funds were generated to repay his investment. He also destroyed computer records to cover up his actions.

Pizzuti was later convicted in 2005 on charges of violent extortion and obstruction of justice, after he had already been granted citizenship, and was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison.
“Violent criminals like this have no place in our society, and when they lie about those crimes to obtain US citizenship, this Administration will stop at nothing to correct that travesty,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Talks with Iran may begin again this week.

The Donald Trump and Pope Leo are having a tiff. I have some thoughts.

And have you mowed your lawn this week? If you did, you are a racist!

Here is some news:

  • Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran could restart as soon as Thursday this week after President Donald Trump imposed a blockade on Iranian ports.
  • A fragile truce between Tehran and Washington remains in place as leaders attempt to negotiate a wider deal.
  • I do have some comments about the Pope Leo/Donald Trump kurfuffle.
  • President Joe Biden’s administration relied on information gathered from radical pro-abortion groups to track, prosecute, and snoop on peaceful pro-life protesters, shocking emails released Tuesday by the Trump administration show.

Do Any of These Guys Take Any Personal Responsibility?

According to the Daily Wire:

Maine Democrat Graham Platner, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Maine, faced backlash for his Nazi-symbol tattoo and several nasty social media posts — and during a recent interview, he attributed both on the “culture” that he was exposed to while serving in the United States military.

Platner, who served both in the Marine Corps and the U.S. Army, got the tattoo covered up after the initial public outcry, appeared on “The Takeout with Major Garrett” — and he argued that the “hyper-masculine” culture in the infantry had “colored” his perspective in the past.

So military culture, hyper-masculinity (toxic masculinity), and hyper-violence caused him to be a racist and get a Nazi tattoo. Hmm, OK.

Also, he admits that he’s a racist. And he decided not to be a racist and get rid of that tattoo after he decided to run for the Senate.

Makes absolute sense to me. Let’s vote for him.

By the way, he wouldn’t be the first Democrat that was a racist.

Dumbass of the Day

According to the Post Millennial:

A woke TikTok user is facing widespread backlash online after posting a video arguing that maintaining a well-kept lawn is tied to racism. 

The user, @softchaoschannel, shared a video on Monday on TikTok, saying, “I can’t stop thinking about how grass lawns are racist and like, based in white supremacy.” 

Um, so keeping a nice lawn is white supremacy? Does that mean blacks and other people of color don’t like nice lawn (I know that’s not true)?

Why is a well-kept lawn racist? Is it because blacks are incapable to keep lawn well manicured?

Probably. The Left already tells us blacks can’t be on time, can’t work hard, can’t get IDs, can’t get into colleges and so forth.

This is the bigotry of low expectations. This is racism. This is the true white supremacy. All infront of her nice house and, probably, well-manacured lawn.

Episode 1182 – The World Is A Better Place This Week

Two men have passed away and, I will say, the world is a better place for it.

A Leftist politicians is asked a question about solving her city’s debt crisis. Let’s just say she’s our Dumbass of the Day.

And Kathy Hochul is asking for a little help from the millionaires of her state.

Well, Maybe?

According to the Daily Wire:

Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of OnlyFans, has died at age 43 following a battle with cancer, the company announced Monday.

“We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” the subscription platform said in a statement. “His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”

The Ukrainian-American billionaire entrepreneur purchased Fenix International, the parent company of OnlyFans, in 2018, according to The New York Post. He served as the company’s director and majority owner until his death. 

Radvinsky was known for staying out of the spotlight and had not publicly announced his illness. He was a graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in economics and is survived by his wife, Katie Chudnovsky, and their four children. The family resided in Florida.

He famously declined interviews and did not attend industry events. According to The Wall Street Journal, employees were required to sign nondisclosure agreements limiting unauthorized disclosures about the company and its operations. At the time of his death, Radvinsky’s net worth was estimated at $7.8 billion. 

The tech entrepreneur is credited with turning OnlyFans into the massively successful company that it is today. Under his leadership, OnlyFans grew into a highly profitable platform that allows creators to sell subscription-based content directly to users, including pornographic material. 

Critics say the model has expanded access to producing and distributing adult content and played a role in normalizing sex work.

Yep, I’, Glad He’s Dead

According to the Daily Wire:

An infamous Pennsylvania abortionist convicted of murder for killing babies born alive during illegal late-term procedures has died while serving multiple life sentences in prison, state officials said Monday. 

Kermit Gosnell, 85, died March 1 after being transported from the State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon to a hospital. He had been serving multiple life sentences following his 2013 conviction on three counts of first-degree murder. His West Philadelphia abortion facility was dubbed the “House of Horrors.” 

The Gosnell case drew national attention after pro-life advocates highlighted the brutal nature of his abortion practice. Many of the gruesome details came out during his 2013 trial and through a grand jury report. 

“This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women,” the Pennsylvania grand jury report said. “He regularly and illegally delivered live, viable babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors.” 

Testimony during the trial described the practice in detail. Steven Massof, one of Gosnell’s former employees, explained the process. “We call it a transection, but it’s literally a beheading,” he testified. 

Massof estimated that around 100 babies had their spinal cords snipped. He said he “felt like a fireman in hell. I couldn’t put out all the fires. … I would run around with scissors.”

The grand jury report documented one case involving a 17-year-old whose baby was delivered at around 30 weeks. According to the report, the infant was “breathing and moving” before being killed.

“He was breathing and moving when Dr. Gosnell severed his spine and put the body in a plastic shoebox for disposal. The doctor joked that this baby was so big he could ‘walk me to the bus stop,’” it said. 

Gosnell denied that any infants were born alive, claiming that movements observed by staff were involuntary.

During the trial, jury members were shown pictures of unborn babies who had been killed by Gosnell, showing how their skulls had been crushed and spinal cords cut. 

Other workers stated that Gosnell stored baby parts in jars in a refrigerator and routinely did abortions past 24 weeks of gestation. “The bigger the baby, the more he charged,” the grand jury report stated. 

The investigation further found that Gosnell’s clinic operated in unsafe and unsanitary conditions. The grand jury described blood-stained furniture, improperly sterilized instruments, and the storage of fetal remains throughout the facility.

“It was a baby charnel house,” the grand jury said.

Gosnell was also convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a woman who died in his facility during an abortion. 

Additionally, he pled guilty to federal charges related to running a pill mill out of his facility and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, including oxycodone, alprazolam, and codeine.

  • HB 217 / SB 749: Ban the sale, purchase, or transfer of most “assault firearms” in Virginia after an effective date (July 1, 2026 is the operative date in current House language). Existing legally owned guns are generally grandfathered, but new sales or imports into the state would be prohibited.arlnow+3
  • Definition: An “assault firearm” is defined as certain semi‑automatic center‑fire rifles, pistols, and shotguns meeting feature and magazine‑capacity tests; language has evolved, but the focus is AR‑15‑style rifles and similar semiautos plus “large‑capacity” magazines.wset+4
  • Magazine capacity: Legislative drafts limit magazines to between 10 and 15 rounds for new manufacture/sales; one Senate version removed grandfathering and would criminalize possession of magazines above 10 rounds, while House language uses a 15‑round cap and grandfathers existing mags.lis.virginia+5

Open and public carry limits

  • SB 312 / SB 727–style measures: Prohibit carrying “assault firearms” (defined semiautos) in public places such as streets, sidewalks, parks, and “any public area,” effectively banning open carry of semi‑automatic rifles and many pistols with magazines over 10 rounds in most public spaces.nraila+1
  • SB 272: Bans carrying firearms in certain public buildings and at public institutions of higher education, including state‑owned or state‑leased facilities and places like the Capitol and state universities.yahoo+1

Storage, vehicles, and red‑flag laws

  • Safe storage in homes: Bills passed by both chambers would require firearms to be securely stored (locked, disabled, or in a locked container) in homes where minors or prohibited persons are present; violations can carry criminal or civil penalties.nraila+2
  • Storage in vehicles: A separate bill creates a civil fine (up to about $500) if someone leaves a firearm unsecured in a vehicle; the car may also be towed.[wtop]​
  • Expanded red‑flag (ERPO) law – HB 901: Broadens who can petition for an emergency substantial risk order beyond law enforcement and Commonwealth’s Attorneys to include immediate family, recent intimate partners, school officials, and licensed health‑care providers, and allows consideration of factors like ongoing substance abuse.yahoo+1

Taxes, training, and “gun‑violence” infrastructure

  • Waiting period – HB 700: Imposes a 5‑day mandatory waiting period on most firearm sales and transfers.[nraila]​
  • Excise taxes – HB 919 & HB 1094: Add separate 11% excise taxes on all firearms and ammunition sold by dealers or manufacturers; revenues go to a Virginia Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention Fund or similar state programs.[nraila]​
  • Gun‑violence offices – HB 969: Establishes a Virginia Gun Violence Prevention Center as a central body for research, best practices, and implementation of firearm‑violence intervention programs.[nraila]​
  • Training – HB 916 & HB 1071: Tighten concealed‑carry training requirements and require school threat‑assessment teams to receive training on using red‑flag/ERPO procedures.[nraila]​

Additional prohibitions and disqualifications

  • Domestic‑violence and restraining‑order add‑ons: SB 160 closes the “boyfriend loophole” by extending firearm‑possession bans to certain misdemeanor domestic‑violence convictions involving intimate partners, not just spouses; SB 38 requires people under certain restraining orders to transfer guns to non‑cohabiting adults 21+.[yahoo]​
  • Mental‑health and hospital restrictions: SB 173 bans weapons in hospitals providing mental health or developmental services.[yahoo]​
  • Misdemeanor expansion – HB 1015: Adds additional misdemeanor offenses to the list that disqualify a person from firearm possession under state law.[nraila]​
  • Local authority – HB 926: Allows localities to restrict outdoor shooting on private property unless conditions like minimum lot size are met.[nraila]​

Status and politics as of March 2026

  • Passage status: At least a dozen of these bills, including the assault‑weapons sales ban, safe‑storage requirements, expanded red‑flag law, and public‑carry restrictions, have passed both chambers and are heading to or already on Gov. Spanberger’s desk.statenavigate+5
  • Expected outcome: Spanberger has publicly indicated support for major pieces like an assault‑weapons ban, ghost‑gun ban, stronger domestic‑violence restrictions, and stronger red‑flag laws, so supporters expect she will sign many of them; opponents (NRA, VCDL, Gun Owners of America) are preparing court challenges.vcdl-lis+4

Episode 1177 – He Should Have Done That A Long Time Ago!

California loses another billionaire. This is going to be a big problem for regular Californians soon.

Trump does what he should have done a long time ago.

And Joy Reid thinks Iranian women have it better than American women.

News

Here is some news:

  • Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick says he has traded California for Texas, joining a growing list of billionaires abandoning the state as lefty lawmakers push for a one-off tax on their wealth.
  • Protesters took to the streets in a violent night of unrest in Cuba as demonstrators chanted “Down with Communism” and attacked Communist party offices — in a rare showing of public defiance against the dictatorial government.
    • Residents flooded Morón in the Ciego de Ávila region overnight into Saturday — days after protestors chanted similar slogans in Havana — for what started as a peaceful rally pushing back against unpopular Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Cane and continued power outages and food shortages.
    • The embattled Diaz-Cane had announced Friday that he’d begun talks with the Trump administration to try and deescalate the crippling economic crisis in Cuba after the US cut off Venezuelan oil shipments to the island, The Post reported.
    • Venezuelan oil is not being sent to Cuba and the economy is crashing.
  • The Trump administration invoked the Defense Production Act to order an oil company to restart shuttered offshore operations in California, saying the move is necessary to address oil supply disruption risks and reduce reliance on foreign crude.
    • Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Friday directed Sable Offshore Corp., an oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, to restore operations at the Santa Ynez Unit and the Santa Ynez Pipeline System off the coast of Santa Barbara, according to a statement from the Department of Energy (DOE).
    • California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the order Friday, calling the Trump administration’s use of the Defense Production Act “reckless and illegal” and pledging to fight the directive.
    • The governor also pointed to the pipeline’s history, noting that a 2015 spill near Refugio State Beach released more than 140,000 gallons of crude oil and caused widespread environmental and economic damage along the Santa Barbara coast.
  • In the Iranian war, The United States has hit the military installations on Kharg island.

Dumbass of the Day

This Law Will Kill Gavin Newsom’s Chance at President

According to the New York Post:

A pedophile who was hit with a more than 300-year sentence for sexually abusing children as young as 5 years old admitted his sick desires are “always going to be there” — but was granted early release anyway under a controversial law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Gregory Lee Vogelsang, 57, was convicted of kidnapping and molesting multiple children between the ages of 5 and 11 in the ’90s in the Sacramento area. He was sentenced to 355 years to life in prison.

But in the November hearing, a three-person board granted the pedophile parole, despite his heinous crimes.

In a transcript of the hearing, released by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, Vogelsang spoke about his obsession with young boys.

“I got to know what the internal triggers and external triggers and what the risky situations and the warning signs are for pedophilia,” Vogelsang said, according to the transcript reported by Capital Public Radio.

“And, like I said before, when I don’t view a child as a sex object, I don’t want to become aroused, but I know it’s always going to be there.”

He also blamed the abuse he faced as a child for his obsession.

“I think when I was a child, I had normalized child molestation due to my father abusing me from 7 to 11,” Vogelsang said.

“It wasn’t until I had dealt with my own childhood abuse of the pain, the harm, the guilt and the shame that I felt as a child, that today I can sit there and say that I honestly understand the psychological and the emotional damage that I was doing.”

A law signed by Newsom in 2020 cleared the way for Vogelsang’s release, because it allows inmates 50 and older who have served 20 or more years to receive parole consideration.

Why Is It Always the Same People

According to the Post Millennial:

An armed man with tactical gear and a firearm was able to walk into Zwink Elementary School in Klein, Texas on Tuesday this week. Kyle Najm Chris, also known as Muhi Mohanad Najm, 39, of Klein, has been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, a charge associated with bringing a weapon on school grounds.

Najm was then taken into custody on Wednesday at 6:30 pm, according to KHOU11. According to the criminal complaint against the suspect, he was seen entering the front office of the front office of the school where he was dressed in full military tactical gear and has a gun holstered.

When he was asked how he was able to get past security, Najm said that the front door was not latched. When employees asked him to identify himself, he did not do so, left the school, and then drove away in a dark blue Dodge Charger.

“From the moment the individual left the front office, we were actively working with multiple law enforcement agencies to identify and apprehend this individual,” the school wrote in a message to parents explaining why they were not immediately notified. “Sending a public notification during that window could have jeopardized those efforts, tipped off the suspect, and delayed the arrest.”

The suspect was later identified with security footage and a facial recognition system as well as a license plate database. Najm has no affiliation with the school. No students or staff were harmed during the incident. Authorities said that the man has a private investigator license and has a Texas Concealed Handgun License.
