Episode 1050 – Crime Pays!

What a surprise! The Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) have been lying about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien gang member deported to El Salvador.

Karmelo Anthony, the murderer of a white track athlete in Texas, not only got out of jail but got a new car. His life is looking up.

And we have a serious mental health problem in this country. I have another couple of stories that show that.

News

  • A now-deported illegal alien accused of being an MS-13 gang member that was living illegally in Maryland has a record of being a “violent” repeat wife beater, according to court records filed in a Prince George’s County, Maryland, district court by his wife.
    • The police department’s Gang Unit MS-13 Intelligence Squad conducted an interview with Abrego Garcia and contacted a “past proven and reliable source” who identified him as an active member of MS-13 with the “Westerns” clique, with the rank of “Chequeo” and the moniker of “Chele.”
    • He was stopped and suspected of human trafficking because he had seven people in his car.
    • The police contacted the FBI under Biden. They were told to take pictures of everyone in the car and let them go.
  • The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing a high school football star at a track meet allegedly lives in a $900,000 home with his family inside a luxurious gated community — despite requesting that a judge lower his $1 million bond because of financial difficulties, according to a report.
    • Karmelo Anthony, 17, is holed up with his family at the pricey home inside the gated community of Richwoods in Frisco, Texas, after he was released from jail Monday on a reduced $250,000 bond for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported.
    • They are paying $3500 a month in rent.
    • “He got a new car,” the resident told the outlet. “If you look at the license plate, it’s got a paper tag and it says it expires June 4.”
  • District Judge James Boasberg has issued an opinion stating that he has found probable cause that the federal government was in criminal contempt by refusing to comply with his order prohibiting certain deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
    • “The Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions … demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt,” Boasberg said in an April 16 opinion.
    • Boasberg’s order came after the Supreme Court vacated his orders and said the case was brought in the wrong court.
    • “The fact that the Supreme Court determined that this Court’s TROs suffered from a venue defect does not affect—let alone moot—the compliance inquiry presently teed up here,” he said.
  • Cody A. Balmer, the suspect charged with arson at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence, was motivated by his perception of Shapiro’s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically regarding Gaza. According to multiple search warrants and police documents, Balmer targeted Shapiro because he believed the governor’s actions or policies were contributing to the suffering and deaths of Palestinians12345678.
    • Balmer called 911 after the attack, identifying himself and stating that Governor Shapiro “needs to understand that he will not be part of his plans for what he intends to do to the Palestinian people”12345678.
  • Don’t feel bad for Harvard.

More Proof We Have A Mental Health Crisis

Nikita Casap, a 17-year-old from Waukesha, Wisconsin, has been charged with the murder of his mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51. Authorities allege that these killings were part of a broader extremist plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government. Federal court documents reveal that Casap aimed to secure financial resources and autonomy to carry out his plan, which included purchasing explosives and a drone equipped for weapon delivery123.

Casap’s phone contained antisemitic writings advocating violence, a manifesto praising Adolf Hitler, and communications with neo-Nazi groups such as the Order of Nine Angles. Investigators also found evidence of his plans to destabilize the government through targeted assassinations and incite chaos. He allegedly shared his intentions on platforms like TikTok and Telegram and communicated with individuals in Russia about his plans125.

The bodies of Casap’s parents were discovered in their home on February 28 after being deceased for over two weeks. Casap reportedly lived with the remains before fleeing in Mayer’s vehicle, taking $14,000 in cash, passports, and other valuables. He was apprehended in Kansas later that day during a traffic stop468.

Casap faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder, conspiracy to assassinate the president, and attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. He remains in custody with a bond set at $1 million and is scheduled for arraignment on May 7137.

About Time

Idaho has recently enacted House Bill 380, making it the first state to legalize the use of firing squads for executing individuals convicted of aggravated lewd conduct with children under the age of 12. Governor Brad Little signed the legislation into law, which will take effect on July 1, 2025136.

Key Provisions of House Bill 380:

  • Death Penalty Eligibility: The law allows the death penalty for pedophiles convicted of aggravated lewd conduct with minors under 12 years old. Prosecutors must prove that defendants meet at least three of 17 aggravating factors, such as committing multiple acts of lewd conduct, using force, or transmitting a sexually transmitted disease to a minor18.
  • Mandatory Minimum Sentences: For cases involving minors under 16 that do not meet death penalty criteria, the law imposes mandatory minimum prison sentences of at least 25 years23.
  • Execution Method: Idaho has also made firing squads its primary method of execution, becoming the only state in the U.S. to do so. This decision follows challenges in obtaining lethal injection drugs and concerns about botched executions57.

Legislative and Public Reaction:

The bill received overwhelming support in the Idaho Legislature, with only a few dissenting votes. Proponents argue that it serves as a strong deterrent and aligns Idaho’s laws with stricter penalties for child sexual abuse seen in other states36. Governor Little stated that such crimes are “sickening and evil” and merit the ultimate punishment10.

Critics, including some lawmakers and advocacy groups, have raised concerns about equating justice with retribution and questioned the constitutionality of applying the death penalty to non-homicide crimes, citing past U.S. Supreme Court rulings like Kennedy v. Louisiana (2008)39.

This landmark legislation reflects Idaho’s tough-on-crime stance and marks a significant shift in criminal justice policy regarding child sexual abuse cases.

Just Why?

The city of Northglenn, Colorado, has passed a new ordinance limiting the number of pets per household to four, effective August 1, 2025. This restriction applies to a combination of dogs and cats, with a maximum of four animals allowed in total per residence124.

The ordinance was introduced following complaints from residents about excessive noise and pet waste caused by large numbers of pets in certain neighborhoods. The city council conducted extensive research and discussions before implementing the regulation24. Northglenn was previously the only municipality in Adams County without pet ownership limits45.

Residents who already own more than four pets can apply for a “previously owned pet exception” before the ordinance takes effect. This exemption requires submitting a form listing each pet’s name, breed, age, sex, and acquisition date. Failure to comply with the new law or disclose extra pets by the deadline may result in enforcement actions, including court orders mandating pet removal135.

The ordinance does not apply to puppies or kittens under six months old from the same litter living in the same household5. Similar pet ownership limits are already in place in nearby cities such as Arvada, Aurora, Brighton, and Broomfield5.

The Truth Is Out There

Summary of the Declassified CIA File: Soviet Soldiers and the “Alien Stone” Incident

A recently resurfaced, declassified Cold War-era CIA document has gone viral for its extraordinary claims: it details an alleged incident in which Soviet soldiers were turned to stone by extraterrestrials after a confrontation with a UFO, according to a report originally compiled by the KGB and later obtained by the CIA after the Soviet Union’s collapse1357.

The Alleged Incident

  • Time and Place: The event reportedly occurred in 1989 or 1990 during a Soviet military training exercise, with sources variously citing Ukraine or Siberia as the location1357.
  • Initial Encounter: Soviet troops observed a “low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer” hovering above their unit. For reasons not fully explained, a soldier fired a surface-to-air missile at the UFO, causing it to crash nearby1357.
  • Alien Response: Five short humanoids with “large heads and large black eyes” allegedly emerged from the wreckage. According to the two surviving soldiers, the beings quickly regrouped and merged into a single, spherical object that began to emit a buzzing and hissing sound before flaring up with an extremely bright light1357.
  • Aftermath: The explosion of light reportedly turned 23 soldiers into “stone poles” or limestone-like pillars. Only two soldiers survived, shielded by shade from the full force of the blast1357.
  • KGB Actions: The KGB is said to have transported the petrified remains and the wrecked UFO to a secret research facility near Moscow. Soviet scientists allegedly concluded that the soldiers’ molecular structure had been altered to resemble limestone, caused by an unknown energy source beyond current scientific understanding1357.

The CIA’s Assessment

The CIA document, which summarizes the KGB report and media coverage from Canadian Weekly World News and the Ukrainian newspaper Holos Ukrayiny, describes the case as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.” The CIA’s commentary concludes:

“If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions. They can stand up for themselves if attacked.”13567

Authenticity and Skepticism

  • Source of the Document: The CIA file is not an original intelligence report but rather a summary of foreign media and KGB documents, some of which were open-source and not independently verified by the CIA2358.
  • Skepticism: Former CIA officers and analysts have expressed strong doubts about the story’s authenticity, noting that the tale has likely been distorted through multiple retellings and resembles science fiction more than credible military reporting1268.
  • Media Origins: The story was first reported in the early 1990s by sensationalist outlets and has resurfaced periodically, most recently gaining attention through podcasts and renewed public interest in UFOs358.

Broader Context

The incident is part of a broader wave of renewed curiosity about UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena, especially following recent U.S. government disclosures and the establishment of official task forces to investigate such reports58.

I Love This!

Grizzly Pines, a private gay nudist campground in Navasota, Texas, is facing backlash for its policy excluding transgender men. The controversy began when the campground reaffirmed its cisgender-only policy in a now-deleted post on Trans Day of Visibility, citing the need to preserve “comfort” and a “shared lived experience” among cisgender men. Critics argue this exclusion contradicts LGBTQ+ values of inclusion and body positivity124.

The Houston Bears and other groups have severed ties with the venue, canceling events in solidarity with trans men. Critics within the LGBTQ+ community have labeled the policy as transphobic, questioning its justification and timing24. This incident has reignited debates about exclusion and community definitions in queer spaces124.

Episode 1049 – Another Example of a Two-Tiered Justice System

These district court judges will not stay in their lanes. It’s time for thew Supreme Court to get involved.

We have another example we have a two-tiered justice system.

And Taylor Lorenz, who was so crazy the Washington Post canned her, goes on a rant defending a murderer.

No Justice Under the Law

A judge in Collin County, Texas, has significantly reduced the bail for Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old high school student accused of fatally stabbing fellow student Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet on April 2, 2025. Originally set at $1 million, Anthony’s bond was lowered to $250,000 following a hearing on Monday, April 14. The decision came after the judge considered testimony from Anthony’s parents, his lack of prior criminal history, his age, and his ties to the community2134.

Anthony, who faces a first-degree murder charge, was released from jail after posting the reduced bond. As conditions of his release, he is under house arrest, must wear an ankle monitor, can only leave home with the judge’s permission, must check in weekly with the court bailiff, and is prohibited from using social media214.

The defense argued that the original $1 million bond was financially oppressive, noting the family’s inability to pay and the stress the case has placed on them. The judge agreed that bond should not serve as punishment but rather ensure the defendant’s appearance in court and the safety of the community. Prosecutors opposed the reduction, citing the severity of the crime and the substantial funds raised for Anthony’s defense through crowdfunding, but the judge ultimately sided with the defense214.

The incident occurred during a dispute at a high school track meet, where witnesses say Anthony stabbed Metcalf after a confrontation over seating. Anthony has claimed self-defense, but the case remains under investigation and will be presented to a grand jury1234.

If convicted, Anthony cannot face the death penalty or life without parole due to his juvenile status, in accordance with Supreme Court precedent1. The case has drawn significant public attention and debate, with both families urging the community not to politicize or escalate tensions surrounding the tragedy21.

It Gets Worse

Karmelo Anthony’s family, following his charge in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, track meet, has announced plans to use a significant portion of the more than $400,000 raised through online donations to purchase a new home and hire private security. This decision comes amid what the family describes as a wave of “graphic and racist threats” after their home address was leaked online in the aftermath of the incident51112.

During a recent court hearing, Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, confirmed that the funds—originally raised for legal defense—would also be allocated for the family’s relocation and security needs. He cited the threats and the family’s inability to safely remain in their current residence as the primary reasons for these expenditures51112. The family’s attorney, Mike Howard, emphasized that the money is not a bond fund but is necessary for the family’s survival and safety, especially as Anthony’s father is currently on leave from work12.

The threats against the Anthony family reportedly escalated after their address was posted online, with some messages containing violent and racist imagery. In response, both the family and their legal team have prioritized moving to a safer location and securing private protection, in addition to preparing for Anthony’s legal defense451112.

As of April 15, 2025, the online fundraiser for the Anthony family had surpassed $420,000, with the stated intent to cover legal fees, relocation, and security costs. The case has drawn significant public attention and backlash, with some questioning the use of donated funds for purposes beyond legal defense, while others have expressed concern for the family’s safety in light of the threats received5612.

Here We Go Again

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of more than 530,000 migrants who entered the United States under the Biden-era CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) humanitarian parole program. This program, launched in 2023, allowed migrants from these four countries to fly directly into the U.S. with the support of a U.S.-based sponsor, granting them temporary legal status and work authorization for two years12345678.

Key Details

Who is affected?

  • Over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally via the CHNV program12345678.

What did the Trump administration attempt?

  • The administration sought to terminate the CHNV program and revoke the legal status and work permits of these migrants, instructing them to leave the U.S. by April 24, 2025, or face deportation235.

What did the judge decide?

  • U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the government cannot revoke the legal status of these migrants en masse without conducting individualized, case-by-case reviews12345678.
  • The judge stated that “early termination, without any case-by-case justification, of legal status for noncitizens who have complied with DHS programs and entered the country lawfully undermines the rule of law”24.
  • The ruling temporarily halts the administration’s plan, preserving the migrants’ legal status and work permits while legal challenges continue12345678.

Legal and Humanitarian Rationale

  • The court cited due process concerns, emphasizing that mass deportations would deny migrants a fair opportunity to challenge removal and could cause significant harm, including family separation and danger upon return to their home countries14567.
  • The judge also granted class certification, meaning the order applies to all CHNV parolees as a group58.

Broader Context

  • The CHNV program was designed to provide a legal pathway for migrants from these countries, aiming to reduce unlawful border crossings and allow for better vetting235.
  • The Trump administration argued the program was an overreach of executive authority and contributed to system strain, but the court found the administration’s approach to be legally insufficient5.
  • The Department of Homeland Security has not yet announced whether it will appeal the ruling1.

Implications

  • Migrants in the CHNV program retain their legal status and work permits for now.
  • The ruling is a significant setback for the Trump administration’s efforts to quickly dismantle Biden-era immigration policies.
  • The case will continue in court, and the migrants’ status is protected at least until a final decision is reached12345678.

The President will State It Himself

The X post by The Post Millennial captures a meeting on April 14, 2025, in the Oval Office where El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele told U.S. officials he would not deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national accused of MS-13 ties, back to the U.S., citing concerns over smuggling a terrorist into the country (Axios, 2025).

Bukele’s stance follows a controversial U.S. deportation of Abrego Garcia, despite a 2019 court order granting him “withholding from removal” status due to potential harm in El Salvador, an action the U.S. Justice Department later attributed to an administrative error (Axios, 2025).

The meeting coincides with U.S. discussions on deporting gang members, as Secretary Marco Rubio recently noted the transfer of 250 gang members, including 23 MS-13 members, to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, highlighting Bukele’s hardline anti-gang policies (Newsweek, 2025).

Episode 1048 – Consequences Are the Best Deterrent!

The Department of Governmennt Efficiency has discovered some major corruption within the unemployment department.

Stephen A. Smith, the loud-mouth sports commentator, says he has “no choice” but to run for president.

We are the country of hoaxes. Are we finally going to deal with it. There’s a story that leads me to believe we might.

News

  • According to reports from Fox News, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered nearly $382 million in fraudulent unemployment disbursements since 2020, with a majority traced to three Democrat-led states: California, New York, and Massachusetts.
    • The DOGE investigation revealed shocking details about fraudulent unemployment claims in California, New York, and Massachusetts. These three states accounted for $305 million of the $382 million in improper payments identified12. The fraud included:
    • $254 million claimed by children aged 1-5
    • $59 million paid to individuals listed as over 115 years old
    • $69 million disbursed to claimants with future birthdates13
    • California was singled out for paying 68% of unemployment benefits to parolees on the CBP terrorist watchlist or with criminal records45. This widespread abuse has sparked calls for increased scrutiny of unemployment insurance systems and improved oversight to prevent such large-scale fraud in the future13.
  • The Trump administration released new guidance late Friday night on its tariff on China, exempting electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops.
    • The guidance, posted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees collecting taxes on imports, could relieve some anxiety among consumers and tech giants like Apple and Microsoft, which manufacture many of their products in China, The Wall Street Journal reported. Around 20 electronic products — which also include memory cards and machines used to make flatscreens and tablets — will now be exempted from Trump’s massive “reciprocal” tariff on China. The exemption comes after the president increased the tariff on China in recent days in response to China’s retaliatory tariff on U.S. goods.
  • Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s official residence in Harrisburg was targeted in an arson attack early Sunday morning, April 13, 2025. The fire caused significant damage to a portion of the mansion, but fortunately, no injuries were reported as the governor and his family were safely evacuated by law enforcement and firefighters126.
    • The incident occurred around 2:00 a.m., waking the Shapiro family to loud knocks from Pennsylvania State Police. The blaze broke out just hours after Shapiro had shared Passover greetings on social media, marking the first night of the Jewish holiday. Authorities are investigating whether the attack may have been motivated by Shapiro’s Jewish faith, given its timing410.
    • A suspect named Cody Balmer is in custody and faces charges including attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault1. Governor Shapiro expressed gratitude to law enforcement and emergency responders for their swift actions, stating, “Thank goodness no one was harmed and the fire was put out”18.
  • “President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function,” read the release by Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, the physician to the president. 
    • Trump underwent the physical on Friday morning at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the release noted, which included “diagnostic and laboratory testing” and “consultations with fourteen specialty consultants.”
    • The release included Trump’s vital statistics, noting that the president is 75 inches tall, weighs 224 pounds, has a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute, a blood pressure of 128/74 mmHg, a pulse oximetry of 99% on room air, and a temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • ESPN host Stephen A. Smith said on Sunday that he has “no choice” but to consider a run for president.

That’s Not Enough Justice

Anjela Borisova Urumova, a 20-year-old woman from Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on April 1, 2025, to 45 days to 23 months in the Bucks County Correctional Facility after filing a false police report about an alleged attempted rape and kidnapping. The incident occurred in April 2024 in the parking lot of a Redner’s grocery store in Middletown Township. Her false accusations led to the wrongful imprisonment of an innocent man, Daniel Pierson, for 31 days before her claims were disproven through a thorough investigation by law enforcement126.

Urumova initially alleged that Pierson attacked her from behind, attempted to pull down her pants, punched her, and tried to abduct her. However, inconsistencies in her account were uncovered through surveillance footage and forensic analysis of her cellphone data. Confronted with the evidence, Urumova admitted she fabricated the entire story. She later revealed that she had targeted Pierson because she found him “creepy” after seeing him and his truck in the area previously27.

In January 2025, Urumova pled guilty to seven misdemeanor charges, including filing false reports, tampering with physical evidence, and unsworn falsification to authorities. She faced a potential sentence of up to 17 years but received a reduced sentence due to her plea deal. In addition to jail time, she was ordered to serve one year of probation, undergo a mental health evaluation, pay $3,600 in restitution to the victim, and avoid any contact with him or his family368.

The case has drawn significant attention due to its impact on the victim and broader societal implications. Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn emphasized that such false accusations can erode public trust in the justice system and jeopardize legitimate cases of sexual violence16.

Episode 1047 – No Wonder This Was Never Reported!

A new study is released that states the obvious about Leftism.

Microsoft does what it needs to do to keep order within their company. It’s about time.

And The manifest of the Covenant school shooter is out and now we know why it was hidden for two years.

What a Shock!

A recent survey conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab has revealed troubling levels of support for political violence among certain segments of the U.S. population, particularly those identifying as left-of-center. The survey found that 55% of self-identified leftists believe it would be at least somewhat justified to murder President Donald Trump, while 48% expressed similar views regarding Elon Musk, who currently serves as Trump’s government efficiency adviser126.

The report highlights the emergence of what it terms an “assassination culture,” characterized by the normalization of violent rhetoric and actions targeting political figures and public figures like Trump and Musk. This trend is reportedly amplified through social media platforms like BlueSky, which the study links to radical ideation and the spread of memes glorifying political violence67.

The survey also uncovered broader support for property destruction, with nearly 40% of respondents (and 57% of left-leaning participants) considering it at least somewhat acceptable to destroy Tesla dealerships in protest. These findings align with a broader pattern of hostility toward Musk and his enterprises, which have faced increased vandalism and threats since his appointment by Trump14.

The NCRI report warns that unless political and cultural leaders explicitly condemn these trends, there is a growing risk of real-world escalation. It also notes that this phenomenon is not confined to fringe elements but reflects a broader shift in public attitudes among some left-leaning groups67.

This Is How To Do It!

Microsoft recently terminated two employees, Ibtihal Aboussad and Vaniya Agrawal, following their protests during the company’s 50th anniversary celebrations. The protests centered on Microsoft’s alleged involvement in supplying artificial intelligence technology to the Israeli military, which the employees claimed contributed to human rights violations in Gaza123.

Details of the Protests:

  • Ibtihal Aboussad interrupted a keynote speech by Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, accusing the company of selling AI weapons to Israel and being complicit in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians. She threw a keffiyeh scarf—a symbol of solidarity with Palestinians—onto the stage before being escorted out156.
  • Vaniya Agrawal disrupted a panel featuring Satya Nadella, Bill Gates, and Steve Ballmer, accusing Microsoft of enabling genocide and celebrating profits made from military contracts258.

Both employees were affiliated with an internal activist group called “No Azure for Apartheid,” which campaigns against Microsoft’s cloud services contract with the Israeli government38.

Microsoft’s Response:

  • Aboussad was dismissed for “acts of misconduct” that were deemed disruptive and inappropriate by the company47.
  • Agrawal had previously submitted her resignation, but Microsoft expedited her departure following her protest27.
  • In an internal memo, Microsoft emphasized its commitment to open dialogue but stated that disruptive behavior undermining business operations would not be tolerated411.

The firings have sparked broader debates about corporate ethics, employee activism, and freedom of expression within tech companies. Critics argue that Microsoft’s actions reflect a prioritization of business interests over addressing ethical concerns raised by its employees38.

No Wonder This Was Hidden

The Covenant School shooter was identified as Aiden Hale, born Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a 28-year-old transgender man and former student of the school.

  • In a passage read by Kelly on her show, dated June 6 2021, Hale wrote that Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were “gods. All those little dumb sh*ts in other school shootings during the 1990s were not gods, just cowards, even if maybe they had a reason, they left it a mystery. I realized that after knowing Columbine, I immediately became attached to it, not just the notorious outcome but the preceding evidence leading up to it.”
    • “I feel I am the reincarnation of Dylan Klebold. My thoughts of depression are forever linked to his and my experience as well.” 
  • Another entry stated, “kill all the white kids. Kill my own race” and “destroy all the white people who are teachers. Let all the black kids go unless, if I don’t like you.” 
    • One entry written months later said, “black people were given fate, given nothing, while white people get power in the White House, have all the privileges, even to white people like me. White people are born with privileges. Black people aren’t.” Hale later added, “being white sucks, but being black is so cool. Black people should rule. White people should fall, every white person who lived and died. I hate you all.”
  • In one entry dated April 12, 2022, titled “let kids choose their sex,” Hale wrote, “I only wore some nice girl clothes as a cover-up from the truth, which I denied myself all these years. And I hated all of it. It was miserable being raised a girl because I had no choice. There was lack of education, research, and medicine to help society or parents better understand transgender.”
    • The entry continued, “I didn’t know trans existed. I thought you could only be gay or bi and that’s the fate you had. But transgender is transcending way deeper to the core. There is still medicine to be approved by the FDA, and so little research has been done. If I had puberty blockers back then, I would have transitioned a long time ago, but I didn’t know you could possibly change your sex.”
    • “I’m mad that no one told me until I was 22. I feel I’m too old and too late to become a man. Now, the process takes months to years. By the time that happens, I’m 30, and then 10 years later I got a bald spot on my head and looked like an old man. Hell no. It’s best to start at 16 for shots, but my youth is over way past now, and it’s over.” 
  • “How dare God hand me a training bra when I didn’t know WTF it was? As a kid, I hated it much more. I’d like to dispose my vagina. We should all choose our gender.”
  • The next page was titled “trans man,” Kelly said, with the passage reading, “I knew I was a boy the moment first memories and development formed. Being a tomboy wasn’t a phase. Parents forced children into which the way (sic) they were biologically born. I don’t care what authority says, but no adult is fair when they don’t let their children want to choose being a boy or girl, because they think children don’t know anything.”
  • One page was titled “killer list,” and was a list of those who perpetrated the Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Parkland school shootings as well as the DC snipers, Jeffrey Dahmer, Tim McVeigh, Jim Jones, and others. 
  • The writings also included printed-out pages taped to the journal titled “I hate the American people,” with Hale writing, “white people who want to take away instead of adding more. What do you call that? America is not the land of the free, it’s a land full of idiots. It will only get worse in this country, not near enough gods like me. America and its people all destined to soon be destroyed.”

Episode 1046 – If It’s Not Happening Much, Why Is It Happening So Much?

Donald Trump reverses himself and Democrats are trying to figure out what to do.

The trans cult has been taking major blows that should end their insane reign, but our betters keep giving them ammunition.

And I just can’t keep Jasmine Crockett from being on the Dumbass of the Day.

People Should Be Thrilled About This

President Donald Trump’s decision to pause most of the sweeping tariffs he recently imposed has had a significant impact on global markets, trade relationships, and economic sentiment. Here’s an overview of the developments and their implications:

Trump’s Tariff Pause

  • Trump announced a 90-day suspension of most tariffs, reducing duties on imports from many countries to 10%, though tariffs on Chinese goods were raised to 125%136.
  • The move followed a tumultuous week in financial markets, with trillions in global market value wiped out and U.S. Treasury yields spiking. These factors reportedly influenced Trump’s decision17.

Market Reactions

  • Global Stock Rally: U.S. markets surged, with the S&P 500 gaining 9.5%, its largest single-day increase since 2008. The Nasdaq rose 12%, and the Dow climbed nearly 3,000 points24.
  • Asian and European markets mirrored this trend, with Japan’s Nikkei index up 8% and European indices such as the FTSE 100 rising over 5%45.
  • Despite the rally, U.S. stock futures dipped slightly on Thursday, reflecting lingering uncertainty4.

Winners and Losers

  • Winners: Airlines, semiconductor companies, and travel-related businesses saw some of the biggest gains. For instance, United Airlines’ stock surged by 26%, while Delta Air Lines rose by 23%2.
  • Losers: China faced higher tariffs and retaliated with steep duties on U.S. goods. Companies heavily reliant on Chinese imports, like Amazon, could face challenges due to increased costs23.

Economic and Trade Implications

  • The tariff pause has provided temporary relief to global markets but has left uncertainty about long-term trade policies.
  • The European Union paused its retaliatory measures in response to Trump’s announcement but emphasized the need for stable trade conditions35.
  • China maintained a firm stance against U.S. tariffs, implementing countermeasures and reducing imports of American films36.

Reasons Behind the Reversal

  • The decision was reportedly driven by concerns over market instability and a selloff in U.S. Treasury bonds. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent played a key role in highlighting these risks to Trump17.
  • Political pressure from business leaders and allies also contributed to the abrupt policy shift7.

While the tariff pause has calmed markets in the short term, uncertainty remains about whether these measures will be reinstated after the 90-day period or if further trade tensions will escalate.

The Trans Thing Just Keeps Marching Forward

  • I like he dismissed non-contact sports.
  • He didn’t mention she had permanent damage.
  • Hey John, her performance in softball was pretty good so we should ignore her? What would it have been like if she wasn’t permanently injured?

Here’s is some trans news that we can’t skip. That’s because it is being ignored by the media and is really becoming a problem for women.

  • Stephanie Turner, a female fencer, was disqualified from the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland on March 30, 2025, after refusing to compete against Redmond Sullivan, a transgender woman. Turner protested by kneeling and removing her mask prior to the match, stating that she would not fence against Sullivan because she believed it was unfair for a transgender woman to compete in a women’s event. This act of protest resulted in her receiving a black card, which disqualified her from the tournament135.
  • The governing body for high school sports in Washington State has announced that it will not ban men from women’s sports following legal threats from Democratic officials.
    • Washington state law currently requires educational agencies to allow students to participate in interscholastic sports “that most closely aligns with their gender identity.”  The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA)  previously announced that it had proposed two bylaw amendments that would limit participants in girls’ sports to students who were born as females and prevent students who were born male and now identify as female from competing in girls’ sports following multiple headline-grabbing victories by boys in Washington competing in girls’ events.
  • A transgender athlete took home first place in a varsity high jump competition at an Oregon high school meet Wednesday, roughly two years after finishing last while competing against junior varsity boys, according to a report. 
    • Lia Rose, who reportedly used to compete as Zachary, won the high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays with a height of 4 feet, 8 inches, beating the second-place finisher by two inches.
  • A trans-identified male is lashing out against the New York City Tennis League Network after being banned from competing against women. Cameron ‘Cammie’ Woodman, 25, is now on a crusade to have the Network banned from using public courts by complaining to city officials.
    • Last week, Woodman played two sets against female opponents in the Lincoln Terrace Park tennis courts of Brooklyn and was victorious in both matches. One of his opponents then contacted the Tennis League Network’s CEO, Steve Chagnon, to alert him about the presence of a male in the women’s matches. The Tennis League Network is an amateur recreational league with branches nationwide.
    • Chagnon, head of the Tennis League Network, forwarded the complaint to Woodman with the accompanying message: “Can we move you over to an appropriate level Men’s Division?”
    • Woodman refused the offer, stating: “I am a transgender woman who has been medically transitioning for the past four years. I believe in my integrity as a woman player, as I play women often… I am not willing to join a men’s league where I would have a disadvantage due to my medical transition.”
    • He went on to name the woman who had sent in the complaint, and slammed her as “a very inexperienced player who wouldn’t even have rated as high as a 3.0 based on her skills,” and added that he found it “offensive” that she had brought the matter to Chagnon.
    • Woodman additionally shared a series of posts further demanding action to “fight transphobia on NY courts” and stating that the Tennis League Network “should be removed from our city’s courts for violating NY Human Rights Law”. He is calling on the New York City Parks Department and the New York City Commission on Human Rights to investigate.
  • Professional disc golf athlete Abigail Wilson walked off the tee in protest over the inclusion of a trans-identified male in the women’s competition this week. Wilson found herself being expected to compete against male participant Logan ‘Natalie’ Ryan in the Music City Open held in Nashville, and refused in an act of defiance being celebrated by women’s rights advocates the world over.
    • Wilson posted a video of her protest to her Instagram account, saying: “Females deserve to have their gender protected division be protected. This is unfair. I have worked so hard to get to this point to play on the DGPT, but the sacrifice of my career and my hard work is worth it if it means I can make a difference for other women, daughters, nieces, and the future of our sport. If you feel how wrong it is to have biological males be competing in female protected divisions in sports, now is the time to speak up and stand your ground.”
    • She added that she had been having “anxiety” about playing against the trans-identified male because of “threats of violence” at last year’s competition, referencing a terrorist threat that had suspended the Music City Open last year.
  • When Ultimate Pool crowns a women’s champion for the Pro Series event on Sunday, the winner will be a biological male. That’s because both the finalists, Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith, are males who “identify” as women.

Episode 1045 – Domestic Terrorism is Becoming a Big Problem

Colorado has decided to make a bunch of laws that gives the government the right to take your kids away. I guess the democrats don’t want to run the state anymore.

Domestic terrorism is becoming a big problem. Let’s talk about it.

And the tax slavery of the western states is scaring off business. Why don’t the politicians listen?

News

Here is some news:

  • The tariff earthquake continues.
    • It has been reported that 50 countries have contacted the United States to make trade deals.
    • Those countries include Japan, Israel, the European Union, Vietnam, and South Korea.
    • Trump is looking for free trade. He wants American products allowed into foreign states.
    • China vows to fight the tariffs to the end. Good.
    • The stock market is up 1000 points today.
    • Clarity is necessary.
    • He tweeted:
  • According to reports from Fox News and CBS News, the Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump’s request to vacate a lower court’s ruling that barred the administration from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals, including suspected members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
    • The Supreme Court’s decision was sharply divided, with a 5-4 split ruling in favor of the Trump administration’s request12
    • While the court allowed the deportations to resume, it also mandated that individuals subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act must be given notice and an opportunity to challenge their deportation before being removed from the United States13.
    • In dissent, the three liberal justices, joined in part by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, criticized the majority’s decision, arguing that it rewarded the government’s attempts to avoid judicial review34.

They Want Your Kids

Colorado is currently considering House Bill 25-1312, known as the “Kelly Loving Act,” which proposes significant legal protections for transgender individuals. The bill aims to address issues such as misgendering, deadnaming, and gender-affirming care, particularly in contexts involving family law, education, and public accommodations.

Key Provisions of HB25-1312

  1. Misgendering and Deadnaming as Child Abuse:
    The bill classifies misgendering (using pronouns inconsistent with someone’s gender identity) and deadnaming (using a person’s birth name rather than their chosen name) as forms of “coercive control” in child custody cases. Courts would consider such actions when determining parental responsibilities and the best interests of the child146.
  2. Anti-Discrimination Protections:
    Misgendering and deadnaming would be explicitly defined as discriminatory acts under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act. This would prohibit such behavior in places of public accommodation, including businesses and schools. Violators could face penalties such as fines or mandatory anti-discrimination training146.
  3. School Policies:
    Schools would be required to adopt inclusive policies regarding chosen names and gender-neutral dress codes. They would also need to accommodate any reason a student might use a name different from their legal name356.
  4. Public Entities’ Use of Chosen Names:
    Public agencies would be mandated to provide space for both legal names and chosen names on official forms. Once a chosen name is listed, it must be used on all future documentation administered by the agency67.
  5. Parental Rights Protections:
    Colorado courts would be prohibited from enforcing out-of-state laws that penalize families for supporting gender-affirming care for minors36.

Criticisms and Concerns

Critics argue that the bill could infringe on free speech rights by compelling individuals to use specific names or pronouns, even if doing so conflicts with personal beliefs. Some opponents also view the classification of misgendering and deadnaming as child abuse as overly broad and potentially harmful to parental rights15. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the administrative burden on public entities required to track chosen names5.

Broader Implications

If passed, HB25-1312 could set a national precedent for transgender protections, reinforcing Colorado’s position as a sanctuary state for gender-diverse individuals37. However, it remains controversial due to its potential impact on free speech, parental rights, and business practices.

The bill is still under consideration in the Colorado legislature, and its final form may include amendments addressing some of these concerns.

They Won’t Listen

Major corporations, including Amazon, Costco, Microsoft, and Nordstrom, are warning Washington state lawmakers that proposed tax increases could lead to a corporate exodus and harm the state’s economic stability. These companies, alongside others such as Alaska Airlines, Zillow, T-Mobile, and Puget Sound Energy, co-signed a letter urging the legislature to reconsider payroll and wealth tax proposals aimed at addressing a significant budget shortfall of $12–16 billion134.

Key Concerns Raised by Businesses

  1. Economic Impact of Taxes:
    • The proposed taxes include a statewide payroll tax modeled after Seattle’s 2020 “JumpStart” tax. This tax would impose a 5% levy on employee wages above the Social Security wage limit for companies with annual payrolls exceeding $7 million2.
    • Critics argue that these measures would increase operational costs, making Washington less competitive compared to other regions. For example, it is reportedly 30% cheaper to employ software engineers in Vancouver, Canada, than in the Puget Sound area12.
  2. Threats to Job Growth:
    • Business leaders warned that higher taxes could drive jobs out of the state. Microsoft President Brad Smith highlighted that Amazon has reduced its Seattle workforce by 10,000 jobs since the implementation of the “JumpStart” tax, while adding 25,000 jobs in Bellevue16.
    • Smith also pointed to historical examples in Europe where similar wealth taxes were abolished due to negative economic consequences, including job losses16.
  3. Unsustainable Spending Growth:
    • The letter criticized Washington’s spending trends, noting that the state’s operating budget has more than doubled over the past decade, growing by 37% in just the last four years—far outpacing population and income growth13.
    • Businesses argued that even without new taxes, existing revenue sources are projected to grow by 6.8% in the 2025–2027 biennium and 7.7% in the following biennium13.

Legislative Context

Democratic lawmakers have floated various revenue measures to address the budget gap, including payroll and business taxes. However, Governor Bob Ferguson has stated he would veto any bill containing a wealth tax due to concerns about its economic impact34. While proponents of these taxes argue they are necessary for funding public services like education and housing, opponents—including Republicans and business leaders—believe spending cuts should be prioritized instead45.

Broader Implications

The business community has warned that these tax proposals could lead to long-term damage to Washington’s economic competitiveness. Companies have already begun shifting jobs to more business-friendly regions like Idaho or British Columbia. Additionally, some wealthy residents have reportedly moved out of Washington to avoid higher taxes23.

In summary, corporate leaders are urging lawmakers to reconsider these tax hikes, emphasizing their potential to undermine entrepreneurship, discourage job creation, and harm economic stability across the state134.

Episode 1043 – Liberation Day?

Liberation Day was kicked off yesterday! Let’s see how that’s going to go.

Trump defunds a group that should have never been funded by the government in the first place.

And the Democrats really hate American voters.

Liberation Day

The Trump administration used a straightforward formula to calculate the “discounted reciprocal tariffs” imposed on other countries. The methodology centered on addressing trade deficits between the United States and its trading partners. Here is the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Trade Deficit as the Basis: The administration began by identifying the trade deficit with each country. This deficit represents the difference between the value of goods imported from a country and the value of goods exported to that country136.
  2. Dividing by Total Imports: The trade deficit was divided by the total value of imports from the respective country, yielding a percentage. This step essentially measured how much of the trade imbalance was attributable to imports relative to their total value368.
  3. Halving the Result: To arrive at the final tariff rate, this percentage was divided by two, producing what was described as a “discounted” reciprocal tariff rate378.

For example, in the case of China:

  • The U.S. had a trade deficit of $295 billion with China in 2024.
  • Total imports from China amounted to $438 billion.
  • Dividing $295 billion by $438 billion yielded approximately 67%.
  • Halving this figure resulted in a tariff rate of 34% imposed on Chinese goods357.

This formula was applied across various countries, leading to tariff rates ranging widely from 10% to 50% depending on the size of the trade deficit and import volume8. Additionally, all imports were subject to a baseline 10% tariff, which was additive to these calculated rates2.

While initially presented as addressing unfair trade practices such as currency manipulation or non-tariff barriers, critics noted that this simplified calculation did not account for these factors comprehensively. Instead, it focused on bilateral trade deficits, disregarding complexities like service trade balances or existing tariffs imposed by other nations145.

Other news:

  • The Trump administration is reportedly moving to freeze federal family-planning grants to Planned Parenthood and other organizations as a review is undertaken into whether they were complying with President Donald Trump’s executive order barring federal funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.
    • The groups that would be subject to the freeze were set to receive around $120 million this year from the federal government. 
    • Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, told the outlet, “The Trump-Vance-Musk administration wants to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers by any means necessary, and they’ll end people’s access to birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and more to do it.”

They Are Worried About Everyone Else

The Democratic Party and several nonprofit organizations have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration, challenging an executive order issued in late March 2025 that mandates proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, restricts mail-in ballot deadlines, and threatens to withhold federal funding from states that do not comply. The plaintiffs argue that the executive order is unconstitutional and exceeds presidential authority, potentially disenfranchising millions of eligible voters.

Key Points of the Lawsuit:

  1. Constitutional Violations: The lawsuits emphasize that the U.S. Constitution grants states and Congress—not the president—the authority to regulate elections. The “Elections Clause” specifically delegates the power to determine the “times, places, and manner” of elections to states, with Congress having the ability to override state regulations for federal elections127.
  2. Claims of Overreach: The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and other plaintiffs argue that President Trump has overstepped his authority by attempting to unilaterally impose election rules through an executive order. They assert that this action undermines the independence of entities like the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which is tasked with setting voluntary voting guidelines257.
  3. Impact on Voting Rights: Critics of the executive order warn that it could disenfranchise millions of voters, particularly those who lack immediate access to proof of citizenship documents or rely on mail-in voting. Studies cited in the lawsuits indicate that approximately 21 million U.S. citizens do not have ready access to such documentation56.
  4. Privacy Concerns: The order directs federal agencies to cross-reference voter registration data with federal databases to identify non-citizens, raising concerns about privacy violations and potential errors in data matching46.
  5. Motivation and Context: The lawsuits also highlight that this executive order aligns with President Trump’s long-standing claims—widely debunked—that non-citizens voting is a significant issue in U.S. elections. Studies have consistently shown that instances of non-citizen voting are exceedingly rare37.

Broader Implications:

  • Legal Challenges: In addition to the Democratic lawsuit, nonprofit organizations like the Campaign Legal Center and State Democracy Defenders Fund have also filed separate legal challenges against the order, labeling it an unconstitutional overreach27.
  • Congressional Debate: The executive order mirrors provisions in legislation proposed by congressional Republicans, such as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which seeks to codify proof-of-citizenship requirements into law8.
  • Potential Disenfranchisement: If implemented, critics argue the order could disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including low-income voters, military personnel overseas, and those relying on mail-in ballots45.

The Trump administration has defended the order as necessary to ensure election integrity, though legal experts and advocacy groups widely dispute its legality and effectiveness in addressing voter fraud—an issue already considered rare in U.S. elections38.

Bye Bye!

Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant and social media influencer, has been deported from the United States after gaining notoriety for advocating illegal squatting in American homes. Moreno, who entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 via Eagle Pass, Texas, used platforms like TikTok to encourage migrants to “invade” abandoned properties under squatter laws. His videos, which showcased him flaunting cash and mocking hard-working immigrants and U.S. taxpayers, sparked widespread outrage. He also boasted about earning money through social media and receiving U.S. government welfare benefits for his family, including $350 per week in aid and up to $1,000 weekly from viral posts135.

Moreno’s social media antics included ridiculing U.S. citizens for their labor-intensive jobs, claiming he came to the U.S. “to claim his space” rather than work. His content amassed over 500,000 followers on TikTok before his account was disabled. He continued posting on Facebook and Instagram until his arrest in Ohio in 2024 for failing to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) check-ins13.

An immigration judge ordered Moreno’s deportation in 2023, but logistical challenges delayed the process due to Venezuela’s previous refusal to accept deportation flights. Under renewed deportation efforts by the Trump administration, Moreno was eventually removed from the U.S. Despite claiming persecution in both Venezuela and the U.S., he was sent back to Venezuela last week. His deportation flight reportedly involved disruptions that required extra security measures35.

Makes Sense

San Francisco has launched a new program under the Speed Safety System Pilot Program, which issues speeding tickets based on a driver’s income level. This initiative, signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in October 2023, is the first of its kind in California and aims to promote equity in traffic enforcement. The program uses speed cameras installed across the city to monitor and penalize drivers exceeding the speed limit by more than 11 mph.

Key Features of the Program:

  • Income-Based Fines:
    • Standard fines range from $50 to $500 depending on the severity of the violation.
    • Drivers with household incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level qualify for a 50% discount.
    • Homeless individuals or those classified as “indigent” can receive an 80% discount124.
  • Payment Flexibility:
    • Low-income drivers can opt for a payment plan with monthly installments capped at $25.
    • Community service may also be an alternative to paying fines4.
  • Speed Camera Deployment:
    • A total of 33 speed cameras have been installed, with 12 currently operational. These cameras are located in “high injury” areas, which account for 12% of San Francisco’s streets but are responsible for over 68% of severe traffic injuries and fatalities13.
    • Large signs indicate enforcement zones, and there is a 60-day warning period during which violators will receive warnings instead of fines25.
  • Fine Structure:
    • Speeding violations are categorized by how much a driver exceeds the speed limit:
      • 11-15 mph over: $50 fine ($25 with discount).
      • 16-25 mph over: $100 fine ($50 with discount).
      • Over 26 mph: $200 fine ($100 with discount).
      • Over 100 mph: $500 fine ($250 with discount)5.

Goals and Equity Considerations:

The program aims to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities by targeting speeding, which is identified as the leading cause of such incidents in San Francisco. It also seeks to ensure fairness by scaling fines according to income levels, preventing undue financial hardship for low-income residents. Cameras are distributed equitably across neighborhoods to reflect the city’s socio-economic diversity134.

Future Expansion:

Other California cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Jose, plan to adopt similar programs. Los Angeles is set to implement its version in 2026, offering community service options for low-income violators13.

While the program has been praised for addressing equity in traffic enforcement, some residents have expressed concerns about its fairness and potential impact on low-income communities.

That’s Sick!

A proposed California ballot measure, named the “Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act,” has sparked controversy due to its association with Luigi Mangione, who is accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. Mangione allegedly shot Thompson in New York City and was later arrested in Pennsylvania while in possession of a 3D-printed gun. Despite pleading not guilty to charges including first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism, his name has been used for a health care reform initiative submitted by Los Angeles attorney Paul Eisner125.

The measure aims to reform health insurance practices by prohibiting insurers from delaying, denying, or modifying medical procedures or medications recommended by physicians if such actions could lead to serious harm or death. It also includes provisions for legal recourse against insurers and penalties for non-physicians reviewing medical decisions. Eisner reportedly chose the name due to the high-profile nature of the case and to draw attention to frustrations with the health care system, though he clarified that he does not support Mangione’s alleged criminal actions15.

Critics have labeled the naming as a publicity stunt and expressed outrage over immortalizing an accused murderer in legislative efforts. The measure is currently under review by the California Attorney General’s Office, which has the discretion to rename it before it potentially appears on the 2026 ballot256.

Dumbass of the Day

No, Men Don’t Suffer From That

According to the New York Post:

Your father might not have been comfortable talking about his feelings, but these days, more men, and particularly new fathers, are fessing up to being sad dads.

Postpartum depression — a severe and long-lasting mood disorder affecting new parents — is self-reported in approximately 12% to 16% of US women, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

It’s triggered by hormonal changes after childbirth (although the causes are multifarious and not fully understood).

But, fellas, you might be shocked to learn that you can get the baby blues, too, and they affect a whopping 10% of new dads — not far off from the number of diagnosed women. And that ballpark number is probably low.

“Are men reluctant or unwilling to report this? I mean, yeah, come on,” said Sean Leonard, a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in mood disorders (among other psychiatric sicknesses) at Healthy Life Recovery: San Diego Drug & Alcohol Rehab. “They’re reluctant to say that they’re depressed, and then why they are depressed.”

While men don’t experience the hormonal roller coaster that new moms are subjected to — testosterone does, however, significantly drop in new fathers, studies show — the lifestyle changes that come with parenthood can be just as distressing.

Sleepless nights and long days at the office are draining. Instead of a hot dinner served up with some Netflix and chill, you’re going to arrive home from work just in time for the witching hour. Suddenly, you are squarely in second place.

Or, if you’re one of those newfangled stay-at-home dads (18% of us now are!) the loss of identity and isolation can dampen the glow from your bundle of joy and lead to difficulties with bonding — which in turns creates feelings of guilt.

Avoiding the Problem

The concept of movie theaters allowing smoking pot is gaining traction in some areas. In New York, plans are underway to permit theaters to apply for licenses that would allow them to serve and allow the consumption of recreational cannabis on premises13. Similarly, in Los Angeles, events like those at the Montalbán Theatre are incorporating cannabis into movie screenings, offering a unique experience for attendees2. However, such practices are still limited and require specific licenses or permits3. The idea is seen as a potential way to revitalize the movie-going experience and attract new audiences37.

Episode 1041- New Season, Old Controversies!

A new controversy hits the Trump administration. But is it really a controversy? Let’s take a shallow look at it.

Baseball has started and that means it’s time for some controversy.

And Robert Kennedy Jr. is taking a chainsaw to Health and Human Services. I’m all in for it!

I Know How This Could Have Been Avoided

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident with protected legal status in the U.S., was mistakenly deported to El Salvador and imprisoned in the notorious Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) due to an administrative error by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Despite a 2019 court ruling barring his deportation to El Salvador, ICE executed his removal on March 15, 2025. The Trump administration has acknowledged the mistake but argued that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from Salvadoran custody135.

Abrego Garcia fled El Salvador in 2011 to escape gang violence and extortion threats. He had been accused of MS-13 gang affiliation during a 2019 immigration hearing, but his attorneys maintain that no evidence has ever been provided to support this claim. An immigration judge had granted him protection from removal after determining he would face persecution if returned to El Salvador56. Despite this, ICE detained him earlier this year, claiming his immigration status had changed, and deported him along with other individuals falsely labeled as gang members37.

Abrego Garcia’s family has had no contact with him since his arrival at CECOT, a high-security prison known for harsh conditions. His wife identified him in news photographs released by Salvadoran authorities, showing detainees being marched into the prison under extreme security measures. His attorneys have filed a lawsuit demanding diplomatic efforts to secure his release and halt U.S. funding for his detention in El Salvador357.

This case highlights broader concerns about wrongful deportations under the Trump administration, including accusations that tattoos and anonymous tips were misinterpreted as evidence of gang affiliation. Legal experts argue that these practices have led to numerous innocent individuals being sent to CECOT, where detainees face severe human rights abuses46.

Things the story does not bring up:

  • He is an illegal alien.
  • He is affiliated to the MS-13 gang, including having tattoos.
  • He was found to be an MS-13 gang member by an immigration judge, but not violent enough to be deported to that prison.
  • He went through the process.
  • The administrative error was to deport him, but not to that prison.

I just want to point out if we didn’t have to have mass deportations to counter mass illegal immigration, this wouldn’t have happened. This won’t be the first time this happens.

Shut Up and Play Baseball!

“I don’t want to say this. Baseball is a White sport. I feel like White people criticize everything that a Black man does. Black men are outspoken. They say what’s on their minds.”

“The unwritten rules of baseball are White. And I always broke the unwritten rules of baseball.”

New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. recently made headlines for his remarks about racial dynamics in baseball, calling it a “White sport” and criticizing the culture surrounding the game. In an interview with The Athletic, Chisholm expressed his belief that Black players face disproportionate scrutiny compared to their White counterparts. He stated, “I feel like White people criticize everything that a Black man does. Black men are outspoken. They say what’s on their minds”458.

Chisholm tied his comments to his experiences with the Miami Marlins, where he alleged mistreatment by former teammate Miguel Rojas. Chisholm accused Rojas of engaging in hazing practices, including cutting up his custom cleats and pouring milk into another pair. He argued that such actions would not have occurred if he were White, saying, “Nobody would ever cut up my cleats or throw my things away if I were White”125. Chisholm also criticized baseball’s “unwritten rules,” which he described as rooted in a predominantly White culture that stifles individuality and self-expression47.

“Nobody would ever cut up my cleats or throw my things away if I were White. I’ll tell you right now, if this was a White boy’s stuff, you weren’t gonna cut that s— up because if a White boy goes and complains, now everybody’s f—ed. I go and complain, and it’s not that big of a deal. It’s, ‘Let’s try and find a solution for this.’ But if a White boy goes and complains, nah, f— that.”

These comments have sparked widespread discussion about race and inclusivity in Major League Baseball (MLB). The league has seen a decline in the percentage of Black players, which currently stands at around 6%, down from over 15% in the 1970s58. Chisholm’s remarks highlight ongoing challenges for diversity and representation in the sport.

What Is a Torpedo Bat?

A “torpedo bat” is a newly designed baseball bat that has gained attention in Major League Baseball (MLB). The bat features an unconventional shape, with more wood and mass concentrated near the “sweet spot,” which is the area where hitters most often make contact with the ball. This design enhances the likelihood of solid contact and improves the potential for power on hits. Unlike traditional bats, which maintain a consistent circumference, torpedo bats taper off towards the end, resembling a torpedo shape124.

The concept was developed by Aaron Leanhardt, a former physicist from MIT who worked with the Yankees’ analytics department. His innovation redistributes weight to optimize performance while adhering to MLB regulations, which require bats to be smooth, round sticks made of solid wood with specific dimensions15.

Why Is It Controversial?

The controversy surrounding torpedo bats stems from several factors:

  1. Competitive Advantage: The Yankees’ use of torpedo bats coincided with an explosive start to the 2025 season, including a franchise-record nine home runs in one game and 15 home runs over three games. Critics argue that these bats may provide an unfair advantage by increasing the effectiveness of hitters, even though they are legal under MLB rules245.
  2. Perception of Legitimacy: While MLB has confirmed the legality of these bats, some players and fans feel that their design pushes ethical boundaries. Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill compared them to equipment used in slow-pitch softball and expressed concerns about professionalism16.
  3. Resistance to Change: Baseball is a sport steeped in tradition, and innovations like torpedo bats often face skepticism. Even within the Yankees organization, star player Aaron Judge has opted to stick with traditional bats despite their widespread adoption by teammates45.
  4. Impact on Gameplay: The unusual design of torpedo bats has led to debates about whether they fundamentally alter the dynamics of hitting in baseball. While their true impact remains uncertain, many believe they could influence strategy and performance across the league as more teams experiment with similar designs24.

Broader Implications

The introduction of torpedo bats highlights ongoing efforts to integrate science and analytics into baseball equipment design. While some view this as progress, others worry it could widen disparities between teams with access to advanced technologies and those without. As MLB teams increasingly explore bat customization, this controversy may signal a shift in how equipment innovations are perceived in professional sports47.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

A violent altercation occurred at the University of Texas at Dallas involving a transgender student, Liam Thanh Tam Nguyen, who also goes by the name Alyssa. The incident took place during a tabling event organized by the conservative group Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Nguyen allegedly attacked two students, Paige Neumann, the TPUSA chapter president, and her secretary Grace, using a metal bike lock as a weapon. Video footage of the incident shows Nguyen swinging the bike lock, striking Neumann on the head and damaging both students’ phones123.

Neumann sustained a head injury and reported ongoing pain from the attack. She stated that she did not provoke Nguyen and had no prior interaction with him before the assault. TPUSA shared the footage on social media, describing the attack as severe enough to shatter Neumann’s phone and cause significant harm13. Grace also suffered property damage during the altercation25.

Nguyen was arrested later that day and faces multiple charges, including two felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of attempting to disarm a peace officer, and one count of assaulting a police officer. Additional charges include resisting arrest and criminal mischief125. Authorities have not confirmed whether Nguyen is officially enrolled at UT Dallas5.

The incident has sparked discussions online, with TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk sharing videos of the attack and expressing support for the injured students. The organization emphasized that Neumann and Grace are “physically doing okay” despite the ordeal25.

Go To It, Robert!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), has announced a sweeping restructuring plan that will cut 20,000 positions, approximately 25% of the department’s workforce. This initiative aims to streamline operations, reduce bureaucracy, and save $1.8 billion annually. Here are the key details:

Job Cuts and Workforce Reduction

  • Scope of Cuts: The workforce will shrink from 82,000 to 62,000 employees. Half of the reductions will occur through layoffs, while the other half will result from early retirements and voluntary buyouts126.
  • Targeted Roles: The cuts primarily target administrative and redundant positions, including human resources, IT, procurement, and communications departments. Front-line workers and scientists are expected to remain largely unaffected19.
  • Agency Impact:
    • FDA: 3,500 positions cut (19% of its workforce).
    • CDC: 2,400 positions cut (18% of its workforce).
    • NIH: 1,200 positions cut (6% of its workforce).
    • CMS: 300 positions cut (4% of its workforce)410.

Structural Changes

  • Division Consolidation: HHS will reduce its divisions from 28 to 15. This includes merging smaller agencies into a new entity called the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA), which will oversee areas like mental health, workplace safety, and substance abuse46.
  • Regional Office Closures: Five out of ten regional offices will be closed26.
  • Program Eliminations: Offices like the Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy and the Office of Minority Health are expected to be dissolved34.

Goals and Rationale

  • Kennedy has described HHS as a “massive bureaucracy” with inefficient coordination across its divisions. The restructuring aims to eliminate redundancies while maintaining essential functions12.
  • The initiative aligns with President Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency” directive and reflects broader federal efforts to cut costs and reduce government size58.

Controversy and Concerns

  • Critics worry that these cuts could compromise public health functions, including drug safety reviews, emergency preparedness, and disease prevention efforts611.
  • Some officials fear long-term costs may increase due to reduced support staff and potential inefficiencies in reorganized programs11.
  • The abrupt nature of the announcement has left many employees uncertain about their roles and how essential services will be maintained11.

This restructuring represents one of the most significant overhauls in HHS history. While Kennedy emphasizes efficiency and cost savings, critics argue that such drastic reductions could risk undermining critical public health services.

Episode 1040 – Have Fun in Prison!

The hugest, most enormous, most biggest threat to Democracy continues to be pushed by the media and Democratic politicians. Guess what? No one seems to care.

The House of Representatives try to push through a law that should be in the books already. They will probably fail.

And a domestic terrorist has been caught in Las Vegas.

Have Fun in Prison

Paul Hyon Kim, a 36-year-old Las Vegas resident, was arrested on March 27, 2025, in connection with a targeted attack on a Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas. The incident occurred in the early hours of March 18, when Kim allegedly used Molotov cocktails and a firearm to damage at least five Tesla vehicles, two of which were engulfed in flames. He also spray-painted the word “RESIST” on the facility’s doors and destroyed surveillance cameras with gunfire126.

Kim faces multiple charges at both state and federal levels. State charges include arson, possession of an explosive device, and discharging a firearm into vehicles.

Federally, he is charged with unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm and arson. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison for the federal arson charge and an additional 10 years for the firearm offense146.

Authorities identified Kim through surveillance footage, license plate recognition technology, and DNA evidence collected at the scene. Searches of his residence uncovered firearms, ammunition, clothing matching the suspect’s description, and what appeared to be an escape plan46. The FBI and local police are investigating whether this attack is connected to other recent acts of vandalism targeting Tesla facilities nationwide68.

The motive remains unclear, though officials noted Kim’s possible ties to political or activist groups, but authorities said Kim’s social media activity showed potential links to communist groups and Palestinian causes. The attack is part of a broader wave of violence against Tesla properties linked to CEO Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)35.

How Long Is This Going to Last?

President Donald Trump has stated that no one will be fired over the Signal messaging debacle, where sensitive military discussions about strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen were inadvertently shared with Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. Trump downplayed the incident, calling it a “glitch” and emphasizing that there was no harm done, as no classified information was shared. He also praised the success of the military operation and defended key figures involved, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz158.

Despite public calls for accountability, including demands from Democrats for resignations or dismissals, Trump has resisted firing anyone. He expressed frustration with media coverage and redirected criticism toward Goldberg and The Atlantic. Trump privately polled advisers about firing Waltz but ultimately decided against it, citing his aversion to repeating past mistakes like the dismissal of former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn in 201768.

The administration’s handling of the incident has sparked criticism over its lack of accountability. Security experts and lawmakers have raised concerns about the use of Signal, a publicly available messaging app, for sensitive discussions, arguing that such lapses undermine operational security and set a troubling precedent18.

This Should Be Law Already

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote again on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a Republican-backed bill that would require voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections.

This legislation, if passed, would amend the National Voter Registration Act and impose significant changes on voter registration processes across the country25.

Key Provisions of the SAVE Act

  • Proof of Citizenship Requirement: Applicants would need to present documents such as passports or birth certificates when registering to vote or updating their voter information. This requirement would apply to all forms of voter registration, including first-time registrations, address updates, and name changes25.
  • Elimination of Online and Mail-In Registration: The bill would mandate in-person submission of citizenship documentation, effectively ending online and mail-in voter registration options5.
  • State Compliance: States unable to meet the requirements might have to maintain separate voter rolls for federal and state elections or implement bifurcated systems, as seen in Arizona2.
  • Criminal Penalties: Election officials could face penalties for mistakenly registering individuals who fail to meet the documentation requirements2.

Context and Implications

The SAVE Act aligns with recent efforts by President Donald Trump, who signed an executive order on March 25, 2025, requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration. The order similarly mandates states to verify voter rolls against federal databases and prohibits counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day136. Both measures have been criticized for potentially disenfranchising millions of voters, particularly those without ready access to required documentation, such as rural residents, women who have changed their names, and low-income individuals58.

Voting rights advocates argue that these measures address a problem that is statistically negligible—noncitizen voting is exceedingly rare and already illegal under federal law. Critics also highlight logistical challenges for states and the lack of federal funding to implement these changes258.

The SAVE Act previously passed the House in 2024 but stalled in the Senate. Its future remains uncertain as it faces potential legal challenges and opposition from Democrats who view it as a restriction on voting rights28.
