Episode 1074 – Sounds Like He Didn’t Need to Work at Home Depot!

We are finding out a little more about Kilmar Abrego Garcia and it sounds like he never needed to work at Home Depot when he was deported.

California Democrats are going out of their way to discourage anyone from joining the police department.

And Brandon Johnson has made a big announcement on the heels of Juneteenth.

What a Shock!

According to the Post Millennial:

MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia was earning $100,000 a year in order to smuggle people around the United States, according to witnesses who have been cooperating with the federal government on Abrego Garcia’s human smuggling case.

The New York Post reported that the witnesses, as well as co-conspirators who have been involved with the federal government on the case, have said Abrego Garcia would make around $1,500 for each smuggling trip he took, including the transportation of minors around the US. This reportedly equated to over $100,000 per year for Abrego Garcia.

The case against the gang member was launched after the Department of Justice had Abrego Garcia returned to the United States in order to carry out the human smuggling case against him.

“On May 21, a grand jury in the Middle District of Tennessee returned a sealed indictment charging Abrego Garcia with alien smuggling and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling in violation of Title 8, USC, 1324,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said at the time.

According to the case witnesses, smugglers would charge $8,000 for those migrating to the United States, Abrego Garcia would then pick them up in Texas and deliver them across the US, Homeland Security Investigations special agent Peter Joseph has testified.

A co-conspirator in the case has corroborated the findings, who said that $1,000 payments were made by human traffickers to the drivers. The co-conspirator also said that around a third of all customers in the smuggling operation were gang members.

The human smuggling charges against Garcia stem from 2022, when Abrego Garcia was stopped by police in Tennessee while he had nine people in his van. $1,400 cash was found in an envelope with Abrego Garcia at the time, and police suspected Garcia was engaged in smuggling.

Abrego Garcia, who has been painted as a victim of unfair deportations by left-wing media and politicians, was deported to El Salvador earlier this year before being returned to face the smuggling charges. His lawyers have called the smuggling allegations “preposterous.”

F-ing California!

California Democrats, led by state Senators Scott Wiener and Jesse Arreguín, have introduced legislation—dubbed the “No Secret Police Act”—aimed at prohibiting law enforcement officers at all levels from covering their faces while conducting operations in the state, with the exception of certain tactical or medical situations12. The bill would require officers to be identifiable through their uniforms or other means, intending to increase transparency and public trust, and to curb what the lawmakers describe as the “emerging trend of secret police grabbing people off the streets”12.

The proposed law specifically exempts SWAT teams and officers wearing medical masks for safety reasons, such as during wildfire smoke exposure2. Non-compliance would result in a misdemeanor charge for officers2.

Republicans have criticized the bill, arguing that California lacks the authority to regulate the attire of federal law enforcement and expressing concerns that unmasking officers could make them more vulnerable to targeting or doxxing by activists2. Law enforcement unions are reviewing the bill, highlighting the need for face coverings in certain tactical or undercover scenarios for officer and public safety2.

This legislative push comes amid heightened tensions over federal immigration enforcement and large-scale protests in California2.

Dumbasses of the Day

On June 14, 2025, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, singer and content creator Vanessa Hernández—known professionally as Nezza—performed the U.S. national anthem in Spanish, titled El Pendón Estrellado, before a Dodgers-Giants game. This act was notable not only for its defiance of the Dodgers’ request to sing in English, but also for its context amid ongoing protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles135.

Nezza, a Dominican American artist of Colombian and Dominican heritage, explained in a now-viral TikTok video that a Dodgers staff member had told her, “We are going to do the song in English today,” but she chose to sing in Spanish anyway as an act of solidarity with her community and in protest of the raids345. She stated, “I just felt like I needed to do it. Para mi gente [For my people],” and described the Spanish version of the anthem as the official translation commissioned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945 as part of the Good Neighbor Policy345.

As of 2023, Chicago’s total net debt outstanding rose to $29.2 billion, a 32.8% increase since 20141 (Lori Lightfoot). However, broader analyses that include all outstanding bills and unfunded obligations—such as pensions and retiree health benefits—put the city’s total liabilities much higher. For example, the most recent figures show Chicago facing about $40.9 billion in unpaid bills, equating to a Taxpayer Burden™ of $40,600 per taxpayer2410.

They Want You Miserable

According to the New York Post:

A massive outage has been reported in the Los Angeles area on Father’s Day after internet and cable provider Spectrum linked the issue to “criminal acts of vandalism.”

“We are currently working on a Fiber cut affecting the Los Angeles area. We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

A spokesperson for the company told Fox News Digital that they discovered that lines had been cut due to vandalism in Van Nuys on Sunday morning, which also impacted other areas. 

“Early this morning our fiber optic lines were intentionally cut in Los Angeles due to vandalism,” the statement read.

“The fiber cuts caused a temporary outage for some residents and businesses in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas. Our services were being restored throughout the morning and restoration efforts continue this afternoon.”

More than 25,000 Spectrum users in the Los Angeles area reported issues on DownDetector.com, which tracks outages, beginning at 3 a.m., according to the website.

Episode 1073 – Are We Seeing the Death Knell of Pride?

The Los Angeles Riots have expanded to other Left wing cities. And people are dying.

Another politically motivated murder happened this weekend. Hmm, which side did it come from.

And Major League Baseball has not learned its lesson when it comes to Pride Month.

News

Here is some news:

  • The Los Angeles riots continue, but appear to be slowing down as police start making arrests.
    • There still is a lot of looting going on.
    • The curfew initiated by Karen Bass (who is still blaming Trump and calling it a “peaceful protest”) is still in effect, but it is not deterring anything even as arrests continue to rise.
    • U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been ordered to broaden the “single largest Mass Deportation Operation” in U.S. history, targeting “crime-ridden and dangerous” areas in large Democrat-led cities, President Donald Trump declared on Sunday.
  • The man accused of killing Minnesota House Democrat leader Melissa Hortman and her husband within the Twin Cities metropolitan area has been taken into custody, authorities said on Sunday evening.
    • A high-ranking state official told the Star Tribune that the suspect, identified as Vance Boelter (57), was apprehended in Sibley County. Police have since confirmed the development, much to the relief of people across Minnesota and the country.
    • Boelter, 57, has been charged with two counts of second degree murder and two counts of second degree attempted murder, according to a complaint reportedly unsealed after the arrest.
    • Officials said he left anti-Trump “No Kings” protest flyers in his vehicle and had a “manifesto” naming dozens of lawmakers and abortion providers.
  • The Iran/Israel war continues:
    • The Iranians have attacked Israel. about 22 of 200 missiles have hit Israel. 13-14 have been killed, dozens have been injured.
    • Iran has cutoff the Internet.
    • Elon Muck’s Starlink has been enabled for Internet access to the Iranian people who are helping Israel.
    • Israel wanted to kill the Ayatollah Khomeini, but Donald Trump convinced him not to.
    • The Mossad set up bases within Iran to launch drone strikes from within the country.
    • Iran has no air support and their missile sites have been leveled.
    • Donald Trump has threatened Iran with massive destruction if they attack any American bases.
  • As far as the United States joining the war against Iran, President Trump has twice left that on the table.

What an Embarrassment

New York Mets Display Pride Flag During National Anthem

What Happened

On June 14, 2025, during a home game at Citi Field against the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Mets displayed the Pride flag on their big screen during the playing of the U.S. national anthem. This display took place on Flag Day and during Pride Month, a period when many Major League Baseball (MLB) teams hold events and show support for the LGBTQ+ community124.

Public Reaction

The Mets’ decision to show the Pride flag instead of the American flag during the anthem drew significant backlash from some fans and commentators. Many expressed anger on social media, with calls for boycotting the Mets and MLB over what they described as a “disgusting” or “divisive” act1356. Some fans felt the move was disrespectful to the tradition of displaying the American flag during the national anthem, especially on Flag Day156.

Conversely, there were also voices supporting the Mets’ participation in Pride Month and emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and representation at sporting events2.

Context

MLB teams, including the Mets, often host Pride-themed events in June, featuring Pride logos, flags, and other symbols to show support for the LGBTQ+ community. Such initiatives have become more common in recent years, though they continue to generate debate among fans12.

Mets lost the game 7-5.

And…They Lost

According to the Daily Wire:

Longtime Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw added a subtle change to his Pride Night cap, printing “GEN 9:12-16” next to the rainbow-colored team logo.

Leading Report (@leadingreport) shared the news via X along with a photo of Kershaw’s cap and the text of the verses the pitcher was referencing — verses that reference God’s promise to Noah, when He sent the rainbow as a sign that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood.

“BREAKING: Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw wrote ‘Genesis 9:12-16′ on his ‘pride’ hat. 12 And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’ Genesis 9:12-16 ESV,” the post read.

Kershaw, a Christian, also spoke out in 2023 when the team planned to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — a group of “queer and trans nuns” who combine drag and religious imagery — by announcing the team’s faith and family night early.

I would have used Deuteronomy 22:5 – The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Or how about Leviticus 18:22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

By the way, Leviticus has a lot of good crap in it that people should learn from.

Anyway, Dodgers lost the game, 6-2.

The only team not celebrating Pride Night? The Texas Rangers.

Actually, It Was Pretty Good

It was the 250th birthday of the United States Army. Donald Trump decided to throw a military parade. I wasn’t thrilled with this idea for the same reasons Dems weren’t. But, actually, it was pretty good. It was educational and inspiring.

  • The parade went through the history of the U.S. Army from the Revolutionary War to modern times.
  • Each section of the parade showed the uniforms, weapons, and vehicles of the era.
  • During the presentation, a narrator explained the conflict of that era, what was happening in the United States, the weapons used and the vehicles used and why they were used. Soldiers marched in the uniforms of the time.
  • Each group that passed, Donald Trump stood up and saluted the soldiers.
  • At the end of the parade, Donald Trump swore in a few dozen soldiers who were entering the Army or were re-enlisting.

It was completely the opposite of what one would think a military parade would be. It was a pep rally. People were happy, the mood was electric. Even MSNBC had to admit it was an uplifting event and not dark and dystopian:

We need more of this. I cannot wait to see what Trump is going to do next year when the United States turns 250 years old. He is the perfect guy to have as President.

Episode 1072 – Bureaucracy: The Theater of the Absurd!

We may be looking as Israel finally bringing Iran into irrelevance.

And, how absurd can our government’s bureaucracies be? I have a story that will show you.

A Little Ahead of Schedule

Israel has decided to go right after Iran.

  • This operation was run by Israel’s intelligence group, the Mossad and has been dubbed “Operation Rising Lion.” 
  • They attacked Tabriz, Kermanshah, Tehran, and Natanz (uranium enrichment facility). Each hold nuclear facilities.
  •  Over 100 targets were hit across Iran, including missile manufacturing sites, storage facilities, and other infrastructure critical to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The strikes involved more than 200 Israeli fighter jets dropping over 330 munitions.
  • Israel Defense Forces launched a sweeping strike on Iran following months of attempted, and seemingly failed, nuclear negotiations.
  • Israel carried out strikes in Iran, adding that explosions were heard in the capital of Tehran.
  • Israel said it launched “Operation Rising Lion” to target Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure
  • A state of emergency has been declared across Israel as the country braces for an Iranian response.
  • Commander-in Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami, was killed during Israel’s airstrikes on Iran.
  • The strikes came after Israel first threatened to go after Iran’s nuclear facilities in early November following a series of back-and-forth missile attacks between April and October last year.
  • The United States has been rather subdued. They said we had nothing to do with it, but support Israel.
    • Currently, the Navy is moving a missile ship and a destroyer to Israel.
  • Iran responded with a drone counterattack, and Israel declared the strikes were only the first wave in a broader campaign to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
  • Iran’s mission to the United Nations is calling for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council following Israel’s launch of Operation Rising Lion.
    • “The Israeli regime and its backer — namely the United States — shall be held fully accountable for these blatant violations of international law and their grave consequences,” the mission wrote in a post on X.
    • “Israel, the most terrorist regime in the world, has now crossed every red line, and the international community must not allow these crimes to go unpunished,” Araghchi wrote.

A Man, A Myth, A Legend!

Absurd!

According to Fox News:

Picture this: you lace up your shoes, take a breath of fresh mountain air, and hit the trail in the Grand Tetons National Park. You complete a legendary speed record in the world of ultra-running, and fellow runners are celebrating you. Then, you’re slapped with a federal crime.

Sounds like a joke, right? Sadly, it’s real—and it’s happening now to Michelino Sunseri, a 32-year-old bartender and record-setting mountain runner.

Sunseri ran a trail that hundreds if not thousands before him had done: he took a well-worn trail, one that’s been used for decades by hikers, climbers, and runners alike. There was no gate. No park ranger stopping people. Just a tiny sign about “erosion” half-hidden in the sagebrush. But that was enough for the National Park Service to charge him with a federal crime.

Now, Sunseri is looking at up to $5,000 in fines, a possible six months in federal prison, and worst of all—a permanent criminal record. To add insult to injury, he could also be banned from the Grand Tetons National Park, the mountains he loves, for the next five years.

This isn’t justice. This is overcriminalization.

Sunseri should not be a criminal. He didn’t vandalize or hurt anyone. He ran a trail. He did not damage the trail, and he was open about it. He posted his record-breaking run on a digital app, and that’s when government bureaucrats decided to make an example of him.

When federal bureaucrats act as lawmaker, judge, and jury, there’s little any of us can do. As a former federal prosecutor, I can tell you that the Department of Justice wins 90% of its cases. And too often, there is no common sense, no grace, no understanding. Just raw, unchecked power.

And here’s the truth: it can happen to you.

When the government creates a maze of vague rules and hidden signs and then prosecutes people who violate them without knowing and without intent, it’s not justice. It’s about power and control.

Sunseri’s case is a warning to all of us. It shows what happens when Americans are expected to follow rules they can’t even see. No one in the entire federal government keeps track of them all, but we estimate there are more than 300,000 federal statutes and regulations that carry federal criminal penalties.

And remember, once convicted of a federal crime there is no expungement of your record. Even if you’re pardoned, your criminal record follows you for a lifetime and prevents opportunities for housing, education and employment.

Sunseri’s case isn’t about a trail. It’s about the growing divide between everyday citizens and an out-of-touch bureaucracy that thinks it knows best. It’s about the erosion of liberty in the name of government authority.

We cannot sit back and let this continue. Government overreach is real, and this case is Exhibit A. We need laws written by elected lawmakers—not unaccountable federal agencies. We need clarity, not hidden signs and gotcha rules. And above all, we need a justice system that remembers the difference between a criminal—and a man who just loves to run in the mountains where he lives.

What a Shock

According to the Daily Wire:

Prominent community members of Alaska’s North Slope warmly welcomed top Trump administration officials last week while ripping into the prior administration led by former President Joe Biden.

A trio of Trump cabinet officials – Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright – traveled to northern Alaska last week to announce that Biden-era restrictions on oil development in the region would be rescinded. The cabinet officials met with North Slope residents in Utqiagvik, Alaska.

Inupiat tribal leaders and officials greeted the news enthusiastically, according to video of the meeting obtained by The Daily Wire.

“When we had a similar meeting with the former Secretary of the Interior, that rule was announced after everybody got on the plane and flew out,” said Josiah Patkotak, mayor of North Slope Borough. He added that the prior administration’s rule “was contrary to what the public comment was.”

“Here we are, full transparency from our own secretary, and I think that deserves another round of applause,” Patkotak said after Burgum announced the administration’s intent to scrap the Biden-era restrictions.

Last year, the Biden administration banned oil and gas exploration and drilling across 10.6 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska (NPRA), a reserve set aside decades ago by Congress for future oil development. The administration put tight restrictions on development on another roughly three million acres of the reserve. In total, over half of the roughly 23-million acre reserve was locked to development.

Episode 1071 – No, California is NOT Part of Mexico!

The riots continue throughout the country. California has even tried to flex its muscle, but its not working.

A new narrative by rioters and Mexico is coming out. It is that Mexico owns California. These people need to learn a book or just listen to this podcast because we are going to talk about it.

And Greta Thunberg’s little drama has played out and ended. What an embarrassment.

Dumbasses of the Day

History of California

  • California was home to numerous Native American tribes and bands for an estimated 13,000 to 15,000 years before European arrival. Over 100 distinct groups, such as the Karok, Maidu, Cahuilleno, Mojave, Yokuts, Pomo, Paiute, and Modoc, lived throughout the region.
    • There was no technology.
    • The tribes were small and relatively peaceful.
    • Disease was a problem. Studies have found the populations were declining.
  • The first European explorer to reach California was Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, who explored San Diego Bay. English explorer Francis Drake visited Northern California in 1579. However, these early visits had little immediate impact.
  • Permanent European interest began in the late 18th century. The Spanish established a chain of 21 missions along the California coast, beginning with Mission San Diego de Alcalá in 1769. These missions were intended to convert Native Americans to Christianity and integrate them into Spanish society. Military forts (presidios) and small towns (pueblos) were also built, with some pueblos eventually growing into cities like Los Angeles and San Jose.
  • Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, and California became part of the Mexican Empire. The Mexican government secularized the missions, redistributing lands to Mexican citizens and well-connected immigrants, not to Native Americans.
  • Starting in the 1840s, American settlers began arriving in California via overland routes such as the infamous Donner Party in 1846. Tensions rose between American settlers and the Mexican government.
    • Before you start screaming about colonization, remember:
      • Mexico allowed immigrants in.
      • Mexico alienated the Indians through colonization and land grabs.
    • This caused a rift between the United States and Mexico.
  • Bear Flag Revolt: In June 1846, American settlers in Sonoma declared an independent California Republic, marking the start of the Bear Flag Revolt.
  • Mexican-American War: The United States declared war on Mexico in 1846. After minor skirmishes, California was occupied by U.S. forces. The war ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ceded California and much of the American Southwest to the United States.
  • Then, the United States paid Mexico for the countries after the war:
    • According to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, the United States agreed to pay Mexico $15 million “in consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States”—that is, for the land ceded to the U.S., which included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, western parts of New Mexico and Colorado, and a portion of Wyoming.
    • $15 million in 1848 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $607.2 million in 2025, adjusting for inflation.
    • Additionally, the U.S. government assumed responsibility for paying up to $3.25 million in claims that American citizens had against Mexico.

It’s All Theater

According to Fox News:

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel after the country’s naval forces detained her Gaza-bound flotilla, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The ministry said Tuesday that Thunberg was on a flight headed back to Sweden via France. 

“Greta Thunberg just departed Israel on a flight to Sweden (via France),” the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X.

Thunberg and three other activists were transported to Ben Gurion Airport to be deported, while eight others — including a member of the European Parliament — refused to sign deportation paperwork, according to the Times of Israel.

The 22-year-old climate activist reportedly told her attorneys that she could do “more good outside of Israel” and that refusing to leave would “harm” her cause, the Times of Israel reported, citing Adalah, an Israeli organization.

Thunberg famously avoids air travel as part of her climate activism, making this flight out of Israel an anomaly for her.

The Israeli navy intercepted the flotilla, named the Madleen, early on Monday. Thunberg posted a video amid the chaos saying that she had been “kidnapped” by Israel, a comment which drew heavy scrutiny, as some pointed out the plight of the hostages who have been held in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.

Episode 1069 – Here We Go Again!

What a shock! Riots break out in Los Angeles.

Of course, it’s mostly peaceful and it’s all Trump’s fault!

Here We Go Again!

Protests erupted across Los Angeles following surprise Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that resulted in 44 administrative arrests at multiple locations, including the Fashion District and a Home Depot in the Westlake District, as reported by ABC News and the Los Angeles Times.

Some things about the riot:

  • Millions of damage was done including to police and federal law enforcement vehicles, damaged property, burning of civilian and commercial vehicles.
  • Multiple fires have been started, mostly vehicles.
  • Police and Sheriff were ordered to stand down and only use non-lethal force, tear gas, and flash bangs when riot became violent.
  • The rioters shutdown the 101 Freeway for several hours.
  • The rioters set fire to four Waymo cars (a cost of $300K each).
  • Four police cars were pelted with rocks on the 101 Freeway, destroying the cars.
  • Businesses were looted.
  • Rioters are using commercial grade fireworks to attack police officers.
  • The rioting started in a relatively small area as of Sunday morning, but began to spread
  • Donald Trump ordered 2000 national guard to Los Angeles. They showed up on Sunday and only protected the federal buildings.
  • The Department of Defense was preparing to deploy 500 Marines from Camp Pendleton.
  • Both Gavin Newsom (Governor) and Karen Bass (Mayor) have both blamed Trump and demanded military stay out of Los Angeles.
  • Kamala Harris released a statement

Episode 1068 – I Need to Rant More About China!

I went on a rant yesterday about allowing the Chinese government to control our food supplies. Well, I’m going to go on another one.

District court judges are at it again with interfering with the Trump agenda. Where were these guys during the Biden administration?

And be prepared for Donald Trump to be called a racist again.

News

Here is some news:

  • President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday evening banning foreign nationals from 12 countries from entering the United States and imposing heightened restrictions on seven others, reviving a signature policy from his first term that was rescinded by the Biden administration four years ago.
    • The ban, which takes effect Monday at 12:01 a.m., fully restricts entry from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Citizens from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela face partial restrictions.
  • The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with a Wisconsin-based Catholic charity group in a case centered on unemployment tax credits for religious institutions – delivering a victory for faith-based institutions, who argued that the state’s decision had violated the religious clauses under the First Amendment. 
    • In a unanimous opinion, justices on the high court agreed that the state had engaged in an “unnecessary entanglement” in attempting to define whether religious groups should be entitled to an otherwise-available tax exemption based on the state’s criteria for religious behavior.
    • The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the group must pay the tax since the nature of their work was primarily secular, since it was not “operated primarily for religious purposes,” and serves and employs non-Catholics.
  • The Supreme Court ruled in favor of an Ohio woman who claimed to be the victim of so-called reverse discrimination on Thursday, making it easier for people across the country who are members of majority groups to sue for discrimination.
    • The unanimous ruling puts an end to a standard used in 20 states and the District of Columbia that imposed a higher burden of proof on white, male, and straight individuals who claimed to be the victims of discrimination on the basis of those identities.
    • The ruling was a win for Marlean Ames, a 20-year veteran of the Ohio Department of Youth Services who said that she was denied a promotion and then demoted for being straight, while both the person who received the promotion and took her old job identified as LGBT.
  • A federal judge in Colorado has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the suspect in a recent firebombing attack at a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado. The family, all Egyptian nationals, was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was being processed for expedited removal from the United States
  • Karine Jean-Pierre, who served as White House press secretary under President Joe Biden from May 2022 until the end of his term in January 2025, has officially left the Democratic Party and now identifies as an independent. This change was announced in conjunction with the upcoming release of her book, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” scheduled for publication on October 21, 2025
    • Jean-Pierre’s decision to become an independent follows a period of disillusionment with the Democratic Party, particularly during the tumultuous weeks leading up to President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. In her book, she describes a sense of betrayal by the party, which she says played a role in Biden’s withdrawal and in her own reassessment of partisan loyalty
    • She argues that the current political climate demands moving beyond traditional party lines, advocating for Americans to prioritize their values and independent thinking over party allegiance. Jean-Pierre emphasizes the need for “freeing ourselves of boxes” and encourages a more creative, strategic, and questioning approach to politics, rather than “blindly loyal and obedient” partisanship

They Know This Works

According to the Post Millennial:

Two Chinese nationals who have been working at the University of Michigan have been charged with attempting to smuggle a dangerous biological pathogen into the United States.

According to a press release from the Department of Justice, Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, both Chinese foreign nationals in the United States, were charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United States, false statements, as well as visa fraud.

According to the DOJ, the Chinese nationals had tried to smuggle in a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, which can be used as a agroterrorism weapon, targeting crops and livestock consumed by the American public. 

The fungus has the potential to cause “head blight” in wheat, barley, maize, and rice, and has the potential to take out millions of dollars in crops. The fungus can also cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock. 

The DOJ stated, “According to the complaint, Jian received Chinese government funding for her work on this pathogen in China. The complaint also alleges that Jian’s electronics contain information describing her membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party. It is further alleged that Jian’s boyfriend, Liu, works at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the same pathogen and that he first lied but then admitted to smuggling Fusarium graminearum into America—through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport—so that he could conduct research on it at the laboratory at the University of Michigan where his girlfriend, Jian, worked.”

The charges come as the Trump administration announced that it will be aggressively revoking visas for Chinese nationals in the US who are here on student visas if they have links to the CCP or if they are studying in critical fields.  

“The federal charges announced today against Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu, both residents of the People’s Republic of China, signify a crucial advancement in our efforts to safeguard our communities and uphold national security,” said Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Detroit Field Office. “These individuals exploited their access to laboratory facilities at a local university to engage in the smuggling of biological pathogens, an act that posed an imminent threat to public safety.”

This Is Why Greta Is In Gaza

According to the Daily Wire:

The New York Times, in its inexhaustible capacity to load an argument when attacking institutions it loathes, did it once again, leaving out key information when covering a ridiculous lawsuit targeting the major oil companies of the Western Hemisphere.

The lawsuit brought by Misti Leon after the death of her mother, Juliana Leon, accuses oil companies of causing Juliana’s death in 2021 because of their contribution to climate change. Juliana, 65, died in her car on June 28, 2021, from hyperthermia. The lawsuit names Exxon, British Petroleum, Chevron, Shell, Conoco, and Phillips 66 oil companies, as well as the Olympic Pipe Company, because of their contribution to climate change.

“The day Julie died was the hottest day ever recorded in Washington with temperatures in Seattle, where Julie died, peaking around 108°F. It was the third consecutive day above 100°F, and record nighttime temperatures prevented the built environment from being able to dissipate the heat it had absorbed throughout the day. In effect, Seattle had turned into an oven,” the lawsuit claims. “This heat was deadly, particularly for those who were unable to escape the heat or were otherwise vulnerable to excessive temperatures.”

“The heat dome that scorched the Pacific Northwest in 2021 would have been ‘virtually impossible’ were it not for man-made climate change, according to researchers with World Weather Attribution, an international group of scientists and meteorologists,” The New York Times wrote. “Around the world, extreme heat has emerged as one of the deadliest manifestations of a warming planet.”

Yet the Times never mentions some salient points regarding Leon’s death, even though they’re included in the lawsuit.

By itself, the lawsuit is stupid. But, surprise, the New York Times has decided to skip some kind of important points.

The story continues:

One: Two weeks before her death, doctors performed bariatric surgery on her; she had been on a liquid diet ever since. Two: The day of her death, she was returning from a doctor’s appointment where they told her she could resume eating solid foods. The Times never mentions that the car’s air conditioning broke, prompting Leon to roll down the windows and pull over to the side of the road. Three: Weather forecasts said the heat would be intense that day.

But as was pointed out by research meteorologist Ryan Maue, who issued a thread on X about the lawsuit, “The research study that concluded this heat wave event was ‘virtually impossible’ without climate change does not provide an analysis of all ‘heat dome’ events from the past 2,000 years — instead focusing on model data since 1950.”

Dumbass of the Day

Here is a clip from the TV show “Girls,” where a character named Mimi-Rose, played by Gillian Jacobs, casually informs Adam Driver’s character that she had an abortion without discussing it with him, leading to a heated exchange. This scene was intended to portray Mimi-Rose as nonchalant about the abortion, reflecting a perspective rarely seen on television, as noted by Lena Dunham, the show’s creator, who aimed to normalize such portrayals.

The scene has sparked significant controversy and discussion, with many viewers interpreting Mimi-Rose’s actions and demeanor as cold and psychopathic, contrary to the intended message of the show. This reaction highlights a broader cultural debate on abortion, where the casualness of the decision and lack of communication with the partner are seen as morally objectionable by some, challenging the show’s attempt to present abortion as a personal choice without melodrama.

Thank God It Made It Back

According to the New York Post:

The real-life “Annabelle” doll was blamed for a string of alarming incidents by conspiracy theorists that claimed it escaped while on tour in New Orleans — but its owner confirmed it’s safely back home and was never out of his control.

The diabolical — and supposedly demonic — Raggedy Ann doll fictionalized in “The Conjuring” movie series made a pit stop at Ghost City Tours office in the Big Easy in mid-May — the same week of a daring prison breakout and a devastating fire at a former plantation nearby.

The timing led to speculation that the doll was behind the chaos.

But she’s “safely back” behind lock and key at the Warren Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut, owner Tony Spera told The Post.

“The doll was taken on a brief tour to several locations to show the doll to enthusiasts of the paranormal,” Spera said.

“The doll was never out of our control. We take extreme precautions when handling or transporting the doll.”

The precautions, which included having a Catholic priest traveling with Annabelle, apparently weren’t enough for some observers who believe the doll’s stint in New Orleans on May 13 and 14 was a bad omen.

An inferno destroyed the historic Nottoway Plantation House between Baton Rouge and New Orleans on May 15 and the next day 10 inmates escaped from the Orleans Justice Center. Most inmates have since been recaptured.

“I did not think people were taking it seriously, (because) I kept seeing jokes about it on Instagram and TikTok,” Ghost City Tours founder Tim Nealon told USA Today.

“But, I didn’t realize people were out here like, actually thinking that this was legit.”

He said some people are “absolutely convinced” Ghost City Tours is culpable in the prison break and fire.

They really take care of this thing:

  • It is in a locked case.
  • The case has crosses on the side.
  • The thing is blessed with holy water and oil by a Catholic priest.
  • The Catholic priest (Father Bob) travels with the doll.

Making Movies Worse

According to the New York Post:

Sarah Lin, a senior at Bronx Science who has made headlines crusading to make the movies more friendly for the hearing impaired, is continuing her fight in Albany by pushing for a proposed bill that would make it mandatory for movie theaters across the country to provide closed captioning at more screenings.

She has become the face of the movement and the brain behind its social media push, giving the cause typically focused on the elderly community a much-needed facelift.

With only two weeks left of the legislative session, Lin has been working in overdrive.

“I’ve definitely been very busy with school, but I think you always end up finding a way to make time for what you’re passionate about,” Lin, 18, of Kew Gardens, told The Post.

“Knowing that I’m able to make such real, impactful change and seeing the actual reactions and the responses from the deaf and hard of hearing community has pushed me to want to continue working on this and continue trying to pass this bill statewide.”

The Open Captioning Accessibility Act would require indoor movie theaters across the state with more than 10 shows per week to provide subtitles for at least half of their peak showtimes.

Episode 1067 – Tariffs Are Now Racist!

A Democratic governor has decided to sell her state to China.

Pete Hegseth corrects a mistake made by the Obama administration.

And tariffs are racist.

They Hate This Country

According to the Post Millennial:

Arizona’s Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs refused to back a bill to prevent the Chinese communist government from buying and owning land in her state. The bill, which would have banned the CCP from having a substantial interest of 30% or more in Arizona land, was GOP-backed.

Democrats initially said the bill could lead to discrimination in property sales. But by May, an amendment to the bill narrowed the ban to just the CCP as opposed to all businesses from countries “designated as enemies of the United States by the director of national intelligence,”  said the Arizona Mirror.

With the new language, the bill passed the Arizona House with a vote of 41-17, which included 8 Democrats voting in favor of the measure. The Arizona Senate approved too, though their vote was along party lines. 

Hobbs, however, wouldn’t have it. Her short veto read: “Today, I vetoed Senate Bill 1109. Improvements to systems that protect our infrastructure are important. However, this legislation is ineffective at counter-espionage and does not directly protect our military assets. Additionally, it lacks clear implementation criteria and opens the door to arbitrary enforcement.”

Sponsor of the bill, State Senator Janae Shamp, said that the goal of the bill was to protect American national interests, including protecting US military bases from being spied on by CCP drones or other surveillance techniques. During a debate on the bill in February, Shamp said that this kind of surveillance from the CCP was already happening in her state.

This Shouldn’t Have Had That Name in the First Place

According to Fox News:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the renaming of a U.S. Navy ship named after San Francisco gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

The Military Times first reported on a memorandum issued by the Office of the Secretary of the Navy rolling out plans to rename the oiler USNS Harvey Milk.

The outlet reported that a defense official said the U.S. Navy was making preparations to strip the ship of its name and that Hegseth had directed Navy Secretary John Phelan to do so. The Military Times also reported the official saying the timing of the announcement during Pride month was intentional.

The memo directing the renaming of the ship said the move is meant to mark a shift in culture in the Department of Defense and U.S. Navy in “alignment with president and SECDEF [secretary of defense] objectives and SECNAV [secretary of the Navy] priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture,” according to the outlet.

Later in the article:

The USNS Harvey Milk was named after Milk in 2016 during the Obama administration. The ship completed its maiden voyage in 2024, arriving in San Francisco with much fanfare.

According to the Harvey Milk Foundation, Milk was a “visionary civil and human rights leader who became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States” when he was elected to public office in San Francisco in 1977.

The foundation said that Milk enlisted in the Navy in 1951 but resigned in 1955 at the rank of lieutenant junior grade “after being officially questioned about his sexual orientation.”

There’s More to This Attack

According to the Daily Wire:

Federal authorities on Tuesday took into custody the wife and all five children of Egyptian national and anti-Israel terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who firebombed pro-Israel demonstrators after overstaying his visa during the Biden era.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the ICE arrests in a video post on X, with sources telling Fox News and the New York Post that the family is being processed for expedited deportation following questioning.

Here is her statement on X:

Soliman’s relatives, who have had their visas revoked, are being detained at an immigration detention center in southern Texas, and following interrogation, officials intend to use expedited removal to deport the family, sources told the Post.

It’s a Start

According to Fox News:

Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered the woman who accused former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault to pay more than $300,000 for violating the terms of a settlement agreement on Monday. 

Lindsey Hill accused Bauer of sexual assault in 2021, leading to an MLB investigation that resulted in a massive suspension for Bauer. They would ultimately settle their lawsuits in 2023, with Bauer suing Hill for defamation, while she sued for assault and sexual battery. 

It was agreed that neither party would pay the other, but that changed after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel Crowley ordered Hill to pay Bauer $309,832.02. This comes after Hill’s attorneys told Bauer’s attorneys in an email that she would receive $300,000 from her insurance policy. 

Bauer is to receive $220,000 for damages, while attorney fees ($68,939.55), interest ($16,634.52) and costs ($4,257.95) bring the grand total to more than $309,000. 

Hill breached their settlement agreement with each other by discussing Bauer on podcasts and in public appearances, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Tariff Are Racist

According to AP News:

Before the oppressive summer heat descends on Atlanta, therapist Brittanee Sims usually gets her thick, curly hair braided at a salon to preserve her healthy mane.

But it’s more expensive this year. So she’ll only pay for her teenage daughter and son to get their summer hairdos. Not having braided hair “creates more of a hassle for everything,” said Sims, who counts herself among the tens of millions of women that regularly spend on the Black hair care industry.

Now, she said, she has to “go home and figure out what I’m gonna do to my hair in the morning, after I went to the gym and it’s messed up with sweating and frizz.”

President Donald Trump’s tariffs are driving up prices for products many Black women consider essential, squeezing shoppers and stylists even more as they grapple with inflation and higher rents. Much of the synthetic braiding hair, human hair for extensions, wigs and weaves, styling tools, braiding gel and other products is imported from or has packaging from China, which was subject to a combined 145% tariff in April. India also is a major global source of human hair.

Computer Server Farms and AI Are Racist

According to NBC News:

Local regulators should immediately stop Elon Musk’s supercomputer project from operating in South Memphis because it’s out of compliance with environmental rules, the NAACP wrote in a letter sent Thursday to Shelby County officials.

The civil rights group addressed the request to Dr. Michelle Taylor, director of the Shelby County Health Department, and to the commissioners of Memphis Light Gas and Water. The health department is responsible for implementing federal air regulations in Shelby County, which encompasses Memphis.

“Being the world’s richest man doesn’t give you the right to pollute Black communities and jeopardize the health of its residents,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement to NBC News. “We urge the health department to step in immediately.”

When contacted, a spokesperson for Memphis Light Gas and Water said it had not received the NAACP letter and could not comment on it. Neither the health department nor xAI immediately responded to questions about the letter, which was also signed by the presidents of the Tennessee and Memphis chapters of the NAACP.

In a previous statement to NBC News, xAI said its “operations comply with all applicable laws” and that it “works collaboratively with County and City officials, EPA personnel, and community leaders regarding all things that affect Memphis.”

xAI has come under scrutiny in recent months for operating methane gas turbines at its Memphis facility to meet the electricity needs of the supercomputer Colossus. The turbines emit pollutants, including nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde, according to their manufacturer.

Episode 1065 – The Month of Abomination Begins!

An anti-Jew terror attack happens in Boulder, Colorado and NBC News decides to lie about it.

And Happy Pride month! Hopefully this will be the last one.

This Is Going to Get Worse

According to Fox News:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating a “targeted terror attack” Sunday afternoon near Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado.

At about 4:30 p.m., the Boulder Police Department said it was responding to a report of an attack near the mall with reports of several victims.

“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in a statement on X. “Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”

Witnesses who spoke with CBS said the suspect used Molotov cocktails to attack people walking for “Run for Their Lives,” a grassroot organization that facilitates global run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

Police initially evacuated three surrounding blocks and expanded the evacuation area just before 5:15 p.m.

It is unclear how many people were injured and the extent of their injuries. 

Information on potential arrests has not yet been released by authorities.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis called the attack a “heinous act of terror.”

“Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable. While details emerge, the state works with local and federal law enforcement to support this investigation,” Polis wrote on X.

Of course, NBC News decided to jump to conclusions and promote their narrative. In other words, they decided to lie:

Turns out this guy was Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, an illegal alien from Egypt. He was here on a visa that expired two years ago. He was yelling, “free Palestine” and, apparently, was not a fan of the Jews.

  • The event was marked by controversy and protests from some spectators and fellow athletes, with Garcia facing boos and jeers both during and after the race125.
  • Some competitors refused to share the podium with Garcia, and a group of athletes wore T-shirts reading “Keep Women’s Sports Female”2.

Aayden Gallagher

Aayden Gallagher is a transgender high school track athlete from McDaniel High School in Portland, Oregon, who competes in girls’ track events under the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) policy, which allows athletes to participate according to their consistently asserted gender identity346.

2025 Track Season Highlights

  • Gallagher, now known as Ada Gallagher, continued to make headlines in the 2025 season for her performances in girls’ track events in Oregon128.
  • At the Portland Interscholastic League Track and Field Championships on March 19, 2025, Ada Gallagher set a season record in the 400 meters with a time of 57.62 seconds, finishing nearly 10 seconds ahead of the runner-up1.
  • In the 200 meters at the same meet, Gallagher also set a season record with a time of 25.76 seconds, 1.5 seconds faster than the second-place finisher1.
  • Earlier in the 2024-2025 school year, Gallagher won the Oregon Girls’ 6A 200-meter state championship with a time of 23.82 seconds, narrowly beating Aster Jones (24.02 seconds), and took silver in the 400 meters with a time of 52.98 seconds, just behind Josie Donelson (52.83 seconds)67.
  • Gallagher’s 200-meter time at the Sherwood Need For Speed Classic was 25.49 seconds, making her the fifth-fastest 200-meter runner in the state at that point5.

A transgender pitcher at Champlin Park High School in Minnesota has drawn statewide and national attention after leading the school’s softball team to its first-ever state tournament appearance with a shutout victory in the sectional final12345. The athlete’s participation has sparked significant controversy, legal action, and political debate.

Key Facts:

  • The pitcher, whose identity has not been publicly confirmed due to privacy laws, is described in media reports as transgender and has been central to Champlin Park’s postseason success, including a 1-0 win in the Class 4A, Section 5 championship3.
  • Three anonymous female softball players, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), have filed a lawsuit against the state of Minnesota and the Minnesota State High School League. They argue that allowing a transgender athlete to compete in girls’ softball is unfair and potentially dangerous1245.
  • One of the plaintiffs stated, “Hitting against him is not only a physical challenge but a mental, too. It’s a mental battle knowing that he has an advantage in the sport that I grew up playing, making it hard to even want to hit against him. His ability to get outs and spin the ball is a strong advantage, but like I said it’s also incredibly mentally challenging knowing that you’re competing against someone who has unfair advantages leaving you with little to no confidence”1245.

Episode 1064 – So Much Being Done, So Little Being Solved

The FBI makes a huge announcement about Jeffrey Epstein and his suicide. This will solve nothing.

Leftists have found a way to reward laziness in schools.

And Elon Musk is off to greener pastures.

Farewell

According to the Daily Wire:

On Wednesday night, Elon Musk made it clear that the reason he was leaving his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project was due to a rule limiting special government employees to 130 days of service rather than any rumored feud with President Donald Trump.

He stated on X:

“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”

This Will Solve Nothing

This Solves Nothing

According to the Daily Wire:

The governing body that oversees California high school sports clarified on Wednesday that its new policy for the upcoming track meet this weekend would still award girls their rightful places on the podium, even if a trans-identifying boy has one of the top scores.

In a statement shared with The Daily Wire, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) said that at the state championships, “a biological female student-athlete who would have earned a specific placement on the podium will also be awarded the medal for that place and the results will be reflected in the recording of the event.”

The CIF statement is a follow-up to an announcement made on Tuesday that stated that female athletes who lost out on qualifying for the state track and field championships because they were forced to compete against a boy would be invited to the event. The updated guidance means that if trans-identifying student AB Hernandez places in the high jump, triple jump, or long jump, he will be accompanied on the podium by the female athlete who would have finished in his position. The final events are set to be held on Saturday, with qualifying events held on Friday.

“On Friday, May, 30, if necessary, in the high jump, triple jump and long jump qualifying events at the 2025 CIF State Track and Field Championships, a biological female student-athlete who would have earned the next qualifying mark will also be advanced to the finals,” the CIF stated.

This Will Definitely Make Our Kids Smarter

According to the Post Millennial:

On Tuesday, the San Francisco public school district announced a new grading policy that will allow students to graduate classes with a score as low as 21 percent. The “Grading for Equity” method eliminates homework and weekly test scores from a student’s final semester grade.

Instead, there will be one test at the end of each semester to decide if a student has passed the class. The final exam can be retaken several times, The Voice San Francisco reported.

Maria Su, the Superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District, enacted the new guidelines without seeking approval from the board, according to the nonprofit. The changes will impact 10,000 students across 14 high schools in California’s Bay Area.

Students may submit assignments late, fail to attend class, or choose not to attend at all without consequence to their academic performance. As of current, receiving an A requires a minimum score of 90 percent, while a D is set at 61 percent. Under the new scale, a student can obtain an A with a score as low as 80 percent, typically a B- and a D with a score as low as 21 percent, which is otherwise known as an F.

Educators, students, and parents have expressed concerns regarding the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative, particularly how it would impact academic standards and college readiness, Newsweek reported. The San Francisco school district’s experiment comes in spite of President Donald Trump’s executive order signed in January that eliminated DEI programs in federal taxpayer-funded institutions.

Supporters of the policy argue that by reducing the emphasis on behavior-based penalties like missing or late assignments, it more accurately reflects a student’s learning, while critics believe it would hurt students who are already on pace for college placement.

RIP

According to CBS News:

The Treasury Department said it plans to stop manufacturing the penny, calling time on one of the first coins minted by the U.S. government. 

The federal agency placed its final order for penny blanks this month, with the United States Mint slated to end manufacturing of the penny when that runs out, a Treasury official told CBS MoneyWatch. The blanks — flat, metal discs that the Mint turns into coins — will run out in early 2026, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news.

The penny, which dates from the early days of the U.S. Mint after its establishment in 1792, now costs more to manufacture than the coin is worth. The 1-cent coin cost about 3.7 cents to manufacture and distribute in 2024, according to the U.S. Mint’s 2024 annual report

Ending production of the penny will save the Mint about $56 million in annual savings, the Treasury said on Thursday. 

Despite their coppery look, pennies are mostly made of zinc, with their distinctive appearance coming from a copper overlay. Zinc’s cost per metric ton is more than double what it was in 2000, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Nothing is Safe!

CIA’s Star Wars Website Cover

The covert Star Wars fan site maintained by the CIA featured an elaborate facade to appear legitimate. Visitors would find listings for popular Star Wars video games including Star Wars Battlefront 2 for Xbox, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for Xbox 360, and Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes for Nintendo Wii.12 Adding to its authenticity, the site displayed a cartoon image of Yoda with the quote “Like these games you will” and included links to an online Star Wars merchandise store with the enticing tagline “So you Wanna be a Jedi?”13

To further enhance its credibility, starwarsweb.net also advertised Lego Star Wars sets, creating a comprehensive fan experience that effectively masked its true purpose as an intelligence communications tool.1 The website appears to have been active around 2010, blending seamlessly into the vast landscape of Star Wars fan communities online while serving as a channel for the CIA to communicate with informants in foreign countries.

Discovery by Security Researcher

The revelation of the CIA’s covert Star Wars fan site came through the investigative work of an amateur security researcher who uncovered the true purpose behind starwarsweb.net.12 

This discovery was particularly significant as the site was part of a larger network of CIA-operated websites that had initially been exposed by Iranian authorities more than a decade ago.2 

The consequences of this exposure were severe and far-reaching, ultimately contributing to a devastating wave of deaths among CIA sources in China during the early 2010s.23 

This security breach represents one of the most significant compromises of CIA digital communication infrastructure in recent history, highlighting the inherent risks of using themed websites as covert communication channels.

What Is Taking Them So Long to Get Here?!

According to the New York Post:

Good things don’t come in threes.

Venus is concealing at least three city-killer asteroids that could strike Earth in weeks without warning, potentially wreaking havoc upon our planet before we can react.

“Twenty co-orbital asteroids (space rocks in the orbit of two celestial bodies) of Venus are currently known,” the authors warned in the arockcalyptic study, which was published in the journal “Astronomy and Astrophysics.”

The international research team, led by Valerio Carruba of Sao Paolo University in Brazil, wrote that at least three of the asteroids — 2020 SB, 524522, and 2020 CL1 — that circle the Sun in tandem with our twin planet have unstable orbits that take them dangerously close to Earth, The Daily Mail reported.

If this shaky trajectory is shifted only slightly by a small gravitational change or other force, they could be set on a collision course with our planet, per the study.

“Co-orbital status protects these asteroids from close approaches to Venus, but it does not protect them from encountering Earth,” the researchers warned, according to the Daily Galaxy.

Carruba and co came to this conclusion by using imitation space rocks to simulate a range of possible outcomes over 36,000 years, finding that there is a sizable population of low-eccentricity asteroids — those previously thought to be harmless — that could be propelled toward Earth via gravitational shifts and other factors.

To make matters worse, the aforementioned cosmic rocks’ orbits make them almost invisible to Earthly detection devices.

While scientists at NASA and other space agencies routinely track potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids, the telescopes can’t spot rocks in a sub-orbital path with Venus due to the sun’s glare, which shields them like a cosmic cloaking device, WION reported.

Due to this interstellar blindspot, the Rubin Observatory in Chile would have only two to four weeks to spot deadly asteroids, leaving us little time if they were on a collision course.

For reference, a mission to engineer something that could deflect a killer space rock generally takes years to formulate.

“Low-e (low eccentricity) Venus co-orbitals pose a unique challenge, because of the difficulties in detecting and following these objects from Earth,” the authors write in their conclusion.

It would be bad news if one of these intergalactic gravelstones hit home.

Asteroids 2020 SB, 524522, and 2020 CL1, measure between 330 and 1,300 feet in diameter, making each one capable of destroying entire cities and causing massive fires and tsunamis, the Daily Mail reported.

An impact would leave a crater over two miles wide and generate one million times more energy than the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945.

Unfortunately, due to the constraints of terrestrial monitoring equipment, we may have to look to the stars for a solution.

“We believe that only a dedicated observational campaign from a space-based mission near Venus could potentially map and discover all the still ‘invisible’ PHA (potentially hazardous asteroids) among Venus’ co-orbital asteroids,” the authors wrote.

However, the powers that be better hurry as researchers predict that co-orbital asteroids’ orbits could become unpredictable in just over 150 years — a blip in the interstellar timescale.
