AZ Gov Hobbs Paves Way for Strategic Land Purchases by China

Chinese investment in land near U.S. military bases has become an increasing concern for national security observers. This June 2024 map shows 19 military bases where Chinese-owned farmland is in relation to them. (New York Post, 6/20/2024)

Andy Biggs, a U.S. House Republican from Arizona, is running for governor in his home state next year. The incumbent gave him serious campaign fodder this week.

Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, vetoed bipartisan state legislation that sought to prevent China from buying land next to strategic assets such as military bases. Hobbs argued that S.B. 1109 was “ineffective at counter-espionage” and did not “directly protect” American military assets in the state.

Arizona State Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp (R) slammed Hobbs, citing recent Chinese attempts to lease buildings alongside Arizona’s Luke Air Force Base where the U.S. military trains fighter pilots. (NOTE: Luke Air Force Base is about 15 minutes from my home. ~ Editor) Shamp, the bill’s author, called the veto decision “utterly insane” and challenged Hobbs for “every politically motivated veto of public safety legislation put on her desk by Republicans.” Continue reading

Bye-Bye President Trump: June 7, 2025

Out Of His Mind’: Critics Aghast At Trump’s ‘Detached From Reality’ New Message
Trump shares a lot of outlandish messages on his social media pages, but critics say a single repost over the weekend might be his most “unhinged” yet.

Trump on Saturday night reposted a message on Truth Social claiming that former President Joe Biden had been executed in 2020 and replaced by “clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities.”

Since returning to the White House, Trump has continued to promote conspiracy theories, and has even elevated conspiracy theorists to key positions… (Continue to full article)

Shooting Himself in the Foot‘: Trump Reportedly Handicapping His Own Presidency
Trump is handicapping his own “support system” because of an outdated grudge, according to a conservative analyst.

The problem is that people like the president and the people around him don’t like organizations like the NSC, because they’re full of experts. They’re full of people who work the problem. And that doesn’t go very well when he says, ‘I want to do x, y, and z,’ and they say, ‘Well, there, you know, you can do whatever you want, Mr. President, but there are problems with that. Here are some costs. Here are some things that you have to worry about.

This president doesn’t want to hear any of that stuff. And the NSC exists to tell him stuff like that. That’s what it’s there for. It’s the president’s kind of personal foreign policy, interagency support staff and think tank all rolled into one supposedly or normally headed by a national security advisor who gives him the best advice, handles all these contending institutions and opinions… (Continue to full article)

We Cannot Throw the Legacy of This Country Away
Clinton opened up about current President Donald Trump and his administration during an appearance on CBS “Sunday Morning,” this week.

“Look, we’ve never seen anything like this before in my lifetime,” Clinton said. “Somebody that says, ‘Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It’s my way or the highway.’ And most Americans don’t agree with that.”

I think that (Trump) has paid a price for this, you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around.

“I think it’s made him less popular to the point where … look, only elections are going to change this. But I do think the courts are getting their dander up. I think him shutting law firms out of representing their clients before federal agencies in federal buildings because he doesn’t agree with their position — that ain’t America. We’ve never done that. The whole purpose of having a legal system is to have both sides be heard(NOTE: Stay tuned for MORE regarding the Clinton Story!) (Continue to full article)

Trump Exhibits ‘Mental Incapacity‘ and ‘Cognitive Decline
Trump has faced criticism regarding his cognitive state since his return to the White House. While he boasts about being in good health, an expert has shared a different opinion

Similar to his first term as president, Donald Trump has continued to tout his competence, the brilliance of his team, and bash his predecessors, while also going on random tangents during rally speeches and speaking to the media. However, a communications expert and Trump author has expressed that Trump’s actions and speech also signify a mental incapacity

His lack of focus makes it seem as though he’s experiencing cognitive decline, that his brain is not well-disciplined, and he’s unable to maintain a thought and carry it through a logical conclusion… (Continue to full article)

Musk calls for Trump’s IMPEACHMENT
Musk unleashed a fresh round of tweets late Thursday afternoon, calling for President Trump to be impeached and declaring that SpaceX would begin decommissioning a spacecraft essential to NASA’s operation — though he later backtracked on this threat.

Trump’s threat to cancel billions of dollars of government contracts with Musk’s companies has ignited a new round of escalation in the explosive civil war between the two former allies.

Musk, the world’s richest man, also spent much of the afternoon tweeting about Trump’s alleged ties to notorious sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein… (Continue to full article)

Are We Smarter Than Our Ancestors?

When I was a kid, the postman semi-annually delivered a booklet-sized mail-order catalog with an odd mix of hundreds of household gadgets and cheap novelties: personalized pencils, cat toys, jumping beans and kitschy doorstops, et al.

The catalog also displayed the above-pictured LP cover of Orson Welles’ 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast mockudrama. As did the sensationalistic record cover, the catalog’s caption said that panicked Americans ran screaming into the streets or had heart attacks after hearing a radio report that Martians had invaded the US; specifically, my native New Jersey. Intrigued, I uncharacteristically asked my mother to buy the record. She declined. Continue reading

Declassified CIA Docs Reveal Hitler’s ‘Secret Escape’ after WWII as New Nazi Reports Set for Release

Shocking documents declassified by the CIA have revealed a secret mission to find Nazi leader Adolf Hitler – 10 years after he supposedly died.

According to multiple reports from the CIA archives, agents in South America were convinced the dictator was still alive in the 1950s and changed his name to remain under cover.

One operative even said they found a photo in Colombia showing a man hou resembled the infamous Nazi.

Despite Allied forces finding a burnt body suggesting Hitler took his own life in a German bunker in April of 1945, documents declassified in 2020 revealed that US intelligence officials were trying to locate his ‘hideout in Argentina’ just months after World War II ended.

Over the next decade, that search apparently never ended, and the CIA was still talking with informants who allegedly knew about Hitler’s secret escape in 1955. Continue reading

The Dangerous Rise of Judicial Supremacy

Courts today routinely override not only executive policy decisions, but the constitutional authority of presidents – thereby replacing legal clarity with judicial chaos. But the U.S. Supreme Court has a chance to correct the course

The Supreme Court has once again agreed to hear a case that strikes at the heart of the constitutional separation of powers. In Trump v. CASA – heard Thursday, May 15, in oral arguments – the justices will decide “Whether the Supreme Court should stay the district courts’ nationwide preliminary injunctions on the Trump administration’s Jan. 20 executive order ending birthright citizenship except as to the individual plaintiffs and identified members of the organizational plaintiffs or states.” Continue reading

The Unseen Hand: Why AI’s Rise Will Mark a New Era of Net Job Loss

The siren song of technological progress has always promised a brighter future, often accompanied by reassurances that any jobs displaced will be swiftly replaced by new, unforeseen opportunities. From the Luddite rebellions against textile machinery to the fears surrounding automation, history is replete with instances where technological advances were expected to lead to widespread unemployment, only to witness a net increase in job availability.

However, to blindly apply this historical precedent to Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to misinterpret this transformative technology’s fundamental nature. AI is not merely an extension of human physical capabilities; it is an encroachment upon our cognitive dominion. Its widespread adoption will, in fact, lead to a net job loss, fundamentally altering the landscape of human employment. Continue reading

Dickens: The Church of Perpetual Outrage (Worship at the Altar of Righteous Indignation…)

I’ve been aware of a disturbing contrarian trend for some time, but recently, it’s become more of a religion than an attitude or frame of mind. Religion is the best way I can describe what I see playing out in partisan political arenas. It’s as though we’re reenacting the Crusades of the 11th through the 13th centuries. This time, the armies are the Marxists and the Federalists; the Holy Land is Merka.

The tactics are reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, only in a suit and tie, performed in congressional chambers, broadcast for the faithful to partake in the Left’s righteous indignation. You’re guilty because we say you are.

Evidence? No problem: we’ll create whatever we need. After all, we own the Black Robed Bandits throughout Merka. It is an example to any who dare challenge the Holy and Almighty American Marxist Party’s viewpoint

How dare you disagree – you know we’re right! Continue reading

US Education in Dire Straits: Cheating is Running Rampant in High Schools and Colleges

Artificial intelligence is making it even easier for college and high school students to cheat.

As more and more students learn to use ChatGPT and other AI tools, teachers increasingly have to decide if an assignment was written by a human, according to Axios.

I have to be a teacher and an AI detector at the same time,” Stephen Cicirelli, an English professor at St. Peter’s University in Jersey City, New Jersey, said.

Any assignment “that you take home and have time to play around with, there’s going to be doubt hanging over it,” he said. Continue reading

Smith ~ American Politics: Donkeys and Elephants On Meth

‘Modern Politigencia’

It’s hard to be optimistic about any large bill set forth by Congress, especially when the know detrimental effects make one also wonder what unintended consequences may also follow. But it’s a fairly simple thing to understand that massive government spending always creates high inflation down the road. Continue reading

Trump Wins Supreme Court Ruling in 6-3 Decision

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of President Donald Trump, allowing him to dismiss heads of independent agencies, including Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris of the Merit Systems Protection Board. The Court noted that preventing Trump from terminating these officials would impose greater burdens than those faced by Wilcox and Harris, who argued they could only be removed for cause under federal law. Chief Justice John Roberts affirmed that the decision balances the executive power vested in the presidency. Continue reading

Law Firms Targeted by Trump Are on a Winning Streak Against Him

“I look at life from Both Sides Now!” ~ Judy Collins

Federal courts have handed a series of resounding victories to the law firms fighting back against President Trump’s targeted executive orders, a sharp rebuke of his retribution campaign against them.

Three judges, appointed by presidents of both political parties, forcefully struck down orders this month aimed at limiting government contracts and access for Big Law firms Perkins Coie, WilmerHale and Jenner & Block.

The early wins underscore the legal system’s ability to withstand the Trump administration’s pressure test, and have led some in the legal community to take shots at other elite firms that struck deals with Trump to avoid punishments. Continue reading

CNN Guest Describes Donald Trump’s Whole Personality In Just 3 Words

If insulting terms for Donald Trump are your jam, Wednesday was a very good day indeed.

First, it was revealed that Wall Street investors are using the term “TACO ― Trump Always Chickens Out” to describe Trump’s economic policies and his erratic approach of announcing massive tariffs that cause the markets to plunge, only to back off a short time later, allowing them to rise back up again.

Savvy market watchers are taking advantage of “TACO” by buying beaten-down stocks, waiting for Trump to wimp out and take advantage of the inevitable rebound. Continue reading

Garrison: AutoPenGate Continues!

Who’s driving the Auto-pen?

Joe Biden wasn’t just asleep at the wheel during his term, he wasn’t even at the wheel. He was so incapacitated that he was reduced to a mere figurehead who spent most of his time at his beach house or on vacation.

For all the Democrats’ hyperbole about ‘our democracy,’ there was very little of it going on at the White House. It was an autocracy, or to be even clearer, an autopen-ocracy.

All of the documents signed using the autopen should be rendered null and void. It’s easy to see which orders were signed with the autopen because the signatures are exactly the same. It’s time to throw out those documents along with the autopen machine itself.

Jesus Called People Morons: The Sacred Insult That Could Save a Civilization

Christ looks the most religious men of His day in the eye and calls them morons. He does this not to demean but to awaken; not to shame but to judge rightly – and to invite us to do the same.

Have you ever had one of those jarring moments when the lyrics of a song you once jammed to as a kid suddenly hit you with grown-up clarity? Maybe it was hearing Free Bird and suddenly realizing the masses in your high school were swaying to a breakup anthem. Or perhaps at your kids’ Catholic athletic event it struck you that “if you’re into evil you’re a friend of mine” (AC/DC’s Hells Bells) might not be the best fire-up song (pun intended). One of my personal favorites was discovering the biting genius behind Bugs Bunny’s old jab, “What a maroon!” – a mispronounced moron, cloaked in Looney Tunes levity but hitting with uncanny precision.

In this age of moral preening – where every tribe, every talking head, invokes Jesus Christ as the mascot of their cause – here’s the mic drop no one saw coming: Jesus called people morons. Continue reading

Whitehead ~ The Algocracy Agenda: How AI and the Deep State Are Digitizing Tyranny

“If one company or small group of people manages to develop godlike digital superintelligence, they could take over the world. At least when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there would be no death. It would live forever. And then you’d have an immortal dictator from which we can never escape.” ~ Elon Musk

The Deep State is not going away. It’s just being replaced.

Replaced not by a charismatic autocrat or even a shadowy bureaucracy, but by artificial intelligence (AI) – unfeeling, unaccountable, and immortal.

As we stand on the brink of a new technological order, the machinery of power is quietly shifting into the hands of algorithms. Continue reading

DiLorenzo: True Conspiracies

Democrats have ceased to function as a political party and should now be regarded as a terrorist organization operating from within the very halls of our government to undermine our country…It’s called TREASON! Conspiracies no longer

Instead of True Confessions, we need to begin a series of True Conspiracies. Confessions are rare, but conspiracies are plentiful, especially the ones that have come true.

We have documented nearly all of the Democrat scandals that we believe have serious merit, including the 2020 election fraud, the conspiracies surrounding COVID, the vaccine-related deaths, and the global cooling hoax of the seventies that evolved into global warming and then simply climate change. We documented the phony Trump/Russian story and noted that 15-20 million unvetted illegal immigrants crossed our ‘closed’ border, along with half a million criminals. We have become well-versed in the two-tiered justice system that the Democrats have implemented, along with the numerous federal judges who have attempted to subvert established law and create new precedents.

Snyder: Is AI Going To Kill All Of Us?

One Of The Pioneers In The Field Has Warned That “Everyone Will Die” If AI Is Not Shut Down

AI technology has been developing at an exponential rate, and it appears to be just a matter of time before we create entities that can think millions of times faster than we do and that can do almost everything better than we can. So what is going to happen when we lose control of such entities? Some AI models are already taking the initiative to teach themselves new languages, and others have learned to “lie and manipulate humans for their own advantage”. Needless to say, lying is a hostile act. If we have already created entities that are willing to lie to us, how long will it be before they are capable of taking actions that are even more harmful to us?

Nobody expects artificial intelligence to kill all of us tomorrow.

But Time Magazine did publish an article that was authored by a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence that warned that artificial intelligence will eventually wipe all of us out.

Eliezer Yudkowsky has been a prominent researcher in the field of artificial intelligence since 2001, and he says that many researchers have concluded that if we keep going down the path that we are currently on “literally everyone on Earth will die”… Continue reading

Scratch ‘n’ Sniff

Social Security Shock as Retired Workers Set to Get Historic Payout Starting in June
Payouts to Social Security beneficiaries are a necessity, and cover a part of the expenses of at least nine out of ten retirees, as per Gallup polls.

The average monthly benefit for each category in April was about $1,755.57.

However, due to an increase in the cost of living, the June payout will surpass $2,000 for the first time in the SSA’s history… (Continue to full article)

U.S. Genocidal Madness Has Never Ended!
How then can the US society come to terms with its past? How can it acknowledge responsibility? The late Native historian Jack Forbes always stressed that while living persons are not responsible for what their ancestors did, they are responsible for the society they live in, which is a product of that past, assuming this responsibility provides a means of survival and liberation.

Everyone and everything in the world is affected, for the most part negatively, by US dominance and intervention, often violently through direct military means or through proxies

Those of us who write about the heinous Israeli genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, although we are most often met with blind indifference by the bulk of society, continue to expose this evil in the midst of this torturous death of innocents… (Continue to full article)

Thanks To Donald Trump, The American Dream Is Dead
Donald Trump’s so-called “voluntary deportation” program is yet another example of how he is killing the alleged “American Dream.”

There was once a time when the phrase “The American Dream” evoked images of opportunity—a place where hard work could elevate anyone, no matter their race, origin, or zip code; a melting pot of possibility. But in today’s America, that dream isn’t just fading—it’s been put on life support, and Donald Trump is hovering over it with a pillow.

With the latest rollout of Trump’s “voluntary deportation” initiative—complete with a convenient app, CBP Home, and a $1,000 travel stipend—his administration has made one thing painfully clear: the American Dream is no longer inclusive… (Continue to full article)

The U.S. Debt Crisis Is Worse Than You Think
America’s $36 trillion debt has experts on edge — here’s what’s really at stake.

Major firms are sounding the alarm on America’s growing debt problem with Moody’s recently downgrading the country’s credit rating. Brett Ewing, chief market strategist at First Franklin Financial Services, joined TheStreet to break down just how serious the problem is and what it could mean for everyday Americans.

We’re sitting around $40 trillion in debt, and we’re running close to a 7% deficit right now.

We still have a lot of room to work with to get that under control over the next decade. And there’s some major things that can be done here in the short run… (Continue to full article)

“Liberation Day” is Cancelled: Trump’s Global Tariffs Ruled Illegal
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Trump did not have the authority to set unilateral tariffs

A federal court ruled that Donald Trump overstepped his authority when he attempted to set unilateral 10% tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners.

The U.S. Court of International Trade said that the president’s emergency powers justification for the tariffs didn’t pass muster, in a ruling issued on Wednesday. The three-judge panel objected to the Trump administration’s argument that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act granted “unbounded tariff authority” to the executive branch. In their ruling, they called for a narrow reading of the act and the powers it grants… (Continue to full article)

Goodbye to Traditional Gas Stations in the US
Walmart, Costco, and Dollar General are jumping headfirst into the fuel business in the US

Electrification may be the future, but Walmart, Costco, and Dollar General seem unfazed, they’re becoming gas giants. Wait, what? That’s right. These three major retailers are opening more gas stations. But don’t be mistaken. This isn’t an improvised move, it’s a calculated response to the slow energy transition and the need to build customer loyalty in a fiercely competitive environment.

Of course, it’s all about evolve or die. So these three giants have decided to adapt by turning their parking lots into fuelling centres, but not for electric vehicles. Walmart has already announced more than 45 new gas stations across the U.S., while Costco is extending the hours of its members-only fuel stations. Dollar General, meanwhile, is experimenting with gas stations in the southern part of the country. But weren’t we transitioning to electric? What’s going on??? (Continue to full article)
