“The disasters of Joe Biden’s open border [sic] policy are coming home to roost. The Molotov cocktail attack by a Hamas-loving Egyptian illegal [sic] migrant on a group of American Jews in Boulder, Colo., is just one deadly consequence. The national police blotter is bulging with rapes, murders, robberies, assaults, antisemitic attacks and all manner of crimes that never would have been committed if not for Biden’s insane decision to disband the suite of border protection policies President Donald Trump had implemented in his first term.” (06/04/25)
“There is mounting evidence that Joe Biden was president in name only during much of his time in office. In his stead, a cabal of top White House staffers appears to have secretly operated a de facto presidency, making crucial decisions without a shred of constitutional authority. If proven true, it would call into question the validity of pardons and executive orders issued under his name but without his knowledge or consent. For this reason, it is imperative that Biden’s closest advisers answer questions under oath and others in his orbit be forced to disclose what they knew or observed. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation into the pardons, commutations and clemencies granted in the waning days of Biden’s presidency …. The probe focuses on whether the elder Biden was competent and whether others were taking advantage of his seemingly diminished mental state.” [editor’s note: The Constitution doesn’t just give the president pardon powers, etc. if he’s later deemed to have been competent. Either the 25th Amendment was invoked, or it wasn’t – TLK] (06/05/25)
“An immigration judge on Thursday granted bond to a Massachusetts high school student who was arrested on his way to volleyball practice last weekend. Marcelo Gomes da Silva, 18, who came to the U.S. from Brazil at age 7, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Saturday. Authorities have said the agents were looking for the Milford High School teenager’s father, who owns the car Gomes da Silva was driving at the time and had parked in a friend’s driveway. ‘This kid is as clean as a whistle,’ his lawyer, Robin Nice, told reporters after a hearing in Chelmsford. Gomes da Silva, who was expected to be released Thursday afternoon on $2,000 bond, appeared via video from elsewhere in Massachusetts. She said Gomes da Silva slept on the cement floor of a room holding 25 to 35 men most of the time he was detained with no windows, no time outside and no permission to shower.” (06/05/25)
“A new recruitment campaign cropped up on elite U.S. college campuses this April. At schools like Cornell and UPenn, bus stop posters on a stark black background led with an ominous warning (‘A moment of reckoning has arrived for the West’) before charging that most tech companies fail to consider ’national purpose’ when deciding ’what ought to be built.’ By contrast, Palantir, the data-analysis defense contractor behind the posters, declared it doesn’t just build tech products ’to ensure America’s future,’ but ‘to dominate.’ The ads’ implicit message echoes the conviction of Palantir’s leadership, including founder Peter Thiel and CEO Alex Karp, that Silicon Valley’s true mandate is cementing U.S. and Western military supremacy — a reactionary nostalgia for the Cold War fusion of state, engineering and capital.” (06/045/25)
“If the Abundance universe is to be believed, the hottest ticket this summer is WelcomeFest. Wednesday’s confab is the second such annual gathering organized by the centrist group Welcome Party and its political action committee WelcomePAC, with this year’s event touting a distinct abundance flair. The conference boasts a rogues’ gallery of corporate-friendly cosponsors, including Third Way, the New Democratic Coalition, Inclusive Abundance, and the Blue Dog Caucus. A sizzle reel from last year’s event paints WelcomeFest as an Internet Hippo tweet come to life, complete with cameos from A-listers like ex-CNN anchor John Avlon and Democratic influencer Olivia Julianna. This year’s ‘Responsibility to Win/ session (misspelled on the event’s official poster) has drawn viral attention online—both for its bizarre AI Ghibli promos and stacked lineup of neoliberal pundits, conservative Democratic lawmakers, and wunderkind pollsters serving up Dick Morris’ reheated leftovers.” (06/04/25)
“‘Original Sin’ was an odd title choice for the recent book, co-authored by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and subtitled ‘President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and his Disastrous Decision to Run Again.’ The book confirms long-standing suspicions about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, its handling by Biden’s inner circle, and the Democratic Party leadership’s attempts to conceal it. These may be sins, but they’re hardly ‘original.’ The earliest confirmed cover-up of presidential incapacity goes back over a century, to President Woodrow Wilson’s 1919 stroke. Ronald Reagan’s aides were so concerned about his inattentiveness, competence, and mood that they proposed invoking the 25th Amendment. … In the long arc of history, political cover-ups and lies are relatively venal sins. But genocide is a mortal sin, the worst imaginable.”
“In an East Asia worried about aging societies, the landlocked nation of Mongolia has the youngest population: About half its people are under 30 years old. Its Generation Z individuals (born between 1997 and 2012) are digital natives with a democratic bent. If they still live a traditional nomadic life, they might use a Prius or perhaps a drone to herd their livestock. On Tuesday, they showed the power of their numbers – and the power of their ideas – to shape honest governance. After weeks of youth-led protests in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai was forced to resign. Allegations that his son had given luxury gifts to his girlfriend – which triggered the street protests – led to a vote of no confidence in Parliament.” (06/03/25)

“This is what the Zionist project looks like. The dead kids. The blown-out hospitals. The desperate, starving civilians. This is it. There is no alternate version of Israel where these things are not happening. The liberal Zionist vision of a two-state solution and a just and peaceful Israel exists solely in the imaginations of the people who envision it. Nothing like it has ever existed. Everything about the modern state of Israel is unyieldingly hostile to that vision. You either support the existence of the Israel you see before you, or you support the end of the apartheid Zionist entity. There is no hidden third option. There are no other positions on the menu. To pretend otherwise is to live in a fantasy land. You either want to burn children alive, or you don’t.” (06/04/25)
“The self-described Chicago suburb ‘super mayor’ is facing mounting legal woes after being ousted in a landslide election following a scandal-plagued time in office. Former Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, a Democrat, has been ordered to appear for a contempt hearing after she did not turn over public records from her time in office, according to WGN 9. The Edgar County Watchdogs Inc. sued the Village of Dolton and the former mayor for failing to produce financial records after the administration allegedly disregarded Freedom of Information Act requests earlier this year. ‘The former mayor is about to find out if losing an election is enough to escape contempt of court,’ Edward ‘Coach’ Weinhaus, attorney for Edgar County Watchdogs, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. Henyard was previously held in contempt of court after she failed to turn over records from her time in office, directly dismissing state transparency laws for elected officials, WGN 9 reported.” (06/04/25)
“One hundred years ago, in 1925, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a powerful message in Pierce v. Society of Sisters: ‘The child is not the mere creature of the state,’ and parents have the fundamental right ‘to direct the upbringing and education of’ their children. This wasn’t just a legal victory — it was a triumph for families, a declaration that parents, not bureaucrats, know what’s best for their kids. As we mark this milestone, we celebrate President Donald Trump, a leader whose fight for parental rights echoes the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, who saw the family as sacred and rooted in natural law. With a Supreme Court ruling on Mahmoud v. Taylor on the horizon, let’s reflect on why this matters and why the legacy of Pierce resonates at kitchen tables across America.” (06/04/25)
