Fox News Is Headed For Disaster
Dinesh D'Souza just exposed the treachery of the corporate media "conservatives"
Fox News has been on a collision course with its own audience since the stolen 2020 election — and you can almost feel the impact coming. The network has made so many dumb bets lately that it’s like watching a busload of trailer park residents get offloaded to play the nickel slots in Reno. All you can do is shake your head as you think: I know they’re all going bankrupt, and they’re already bankrupt. It’s been perfectly obvious for years now that Rupert Murdoch and his feckless sons turned against President Trump and actually helped Joe Biden — which is not just unforgivable. It’s unsustainable.
Why? Because it requires the silence of other prominent conservatives, and the short term memories of GOP voters, to allow Fox News to continue pretending that it’s a conservative news network. Guess what: GOP voters have not forgotten about Fox News calling Arizona early — and prominent conservatives are no longer interested in ignoring Fox’s treachery.
Case in point: Dinesh D’Souza dropped several bombshells on Twitter recently that illustrate that Fox News has nowhere left to hide.

The Real Terminator: The Autonomous Drone Swarm That Can Hunt Humans
The 1984 film The Terminator frightened audiences with a nightmare scenario: being methodically hunted by a powerful, artificially intelligent, definitionally psychopathic robot that never rests and won’t stop until you’re dead. But truth isn’t just stranger than fiction, it’s also sometimes scarier.
And perhaps proving this is that Chinese scientists are developing small autonomous drones that can operate as a swarm, avoiding obstacles and performing various life-saving functions — and, warn some, also a terrifying life-taking function:
Hunting humans, using facial-recognition technology to identify their hapless targets.
Autonomous drones fly through Chinese bamboo forest

Bill Clinton's special advisor who let Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven times and flew on the Lolita Express dies at 59
One of Bill Clinton's former special advisors who helped cement his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein has died at the age of 59, becoming the latest associate of the former President to die young.
Mark Middleton's family said that he passed away on Saturday in a statement which did not reveal the cause of death.

At Last We’re Getting Some (Chilling) Hints About What the Disinformation Chief Wants to Do
Old Joe Biden’s handlers haven’t been able to give us a clear answer about what the Department of Homeland Security’s ominous new Disinformation Governance Board is actually going to do. But now its censorship power-drunk chief, Nina Jankowicz, has provided a detailed description of an authority she wants to have in order to fight this alleged disinformation, and it’s downright chilling.

AI cameras being deployed across country
"99% plus of cameras are used in a very forensic way. Which means that if something bad happens, they come back and review the footage hours or even days later and try to catch a bad guy," Tai said. "What we're looking to do is in a non-privacy intrusive way, so we don't track any facial recognition, or biometrics or PI, but be able to identify potential indicators of threats to safety and security, and send these alerts out in real-time to people who would need to respond."

Fact Checking the Fact Checkers: Debunking AP's '2000 Mules' Hit Piece
Many of us were alarmed on Election Night 2020 when, while the results were looking good for Donald Trump, multiple states suddenly stopped counting votes. As the night wore on and went into the next day, it seemed that every update was favorable for Biden until he was ultimately named President-Elect.
While Trump’s campaign repeatedly promised to “release the Kraken” and bring forward evidence of election fraud that would prove that the election was stolen, focusing on electronic voting machines, that evidence didn’t materialize. RedState’s Scott Hounsell pointed out various states and cities – even down to the precincts – that should be investigated, and that information was given to the Trump campaign to no avail.

Resistance Grows to UN WHO & Biden “Global Health” Power Grab
Under the leadership of a Communist Chinese-backed “former” Marxist terror leader, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) and the Biden administration are plotting an unprecedented power grab to build a planetary bio-medical police state. Think Shanghai during lockdown, but worldwide. Leading experts argue that this is truly the emergence of the “New World Order” discussed by Biden and others.
Already, the WHO claims all sorts of draconian authorities, including powers to work with UN member states in quarantining villages or nations, locking down societies, forcing medical “treatments” such as vaccines, and generally crushing medical freedom. When Ebola was spreading, for instance, the Obama administration sent thousands of U.S. troops to help the UN enforce medical martial law in the Ivory Coast.

US, allies condemn Russian cyber operations against Ukraine
In a statement, Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday said that Ukraine has experienced numerous disruptive cyber operations, including website defacements, distributed denial-of-service attacks, and cyberattacks that erased data from computers belonging to the Ukrainian government and private companies.
Blinken said that the disruptive cyber operations began in January — just a month before the invasion — and have since continued.
The U.S. and the European Union (EU) confirmed that Russia was behind a cyberattack that targeted Ukraine’s satellite network in late February. The European Council in a statement said the hack took place an hour before the invasion, causing significant communication outages and disrupting several public authorities and businesses.

Game Changer? New Web Browser Launches
Is there even leftwing bias in our web browsers? You bet there is. Regardless of the browser you’re currently using, chances are it’s pointing you towards the political left. The effort may be only a subtle nudge, barely noticeable to those who aren’t paying attention. Then again, it could be hitting you in the face like a sledgehammer.
But starting today, there’s a new web browser available for use. Its name is TUSK, its owner and designer has been heavily influenced by conservative figures such as Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, and as it says on its website, TUSK is:
“Designed exclusively for Conservatives, TUSK allows you to get the news and information you want without the liberal bias… The TUSK browser allows you to determine the sources of your news and information.??”

Here Are Some of the Big Name Witnesses to Be Called in the Sussmann Trial
Robby Mook, who managed Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign, Clinton campaign attorney Marc Elias and FBI counterintelligence leader Bill Priestap and former top FBI lawyer James Baker are among those called as government witnesses, said prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis.
The prosecution, spearheaded by special counsel John Durham‘s probe of the FBI’s Trump-Russia collusion investigation, also will put on the stand Laura Seago, a top tech official at political research firm Fusion GPS; Deborah Fine, a Clinton campaign lawyer; and a CIA official identified only as “Kevin B.”
A slew of FBI officials are also expected to testify for the government, which alleges that Mr. Sussmann lied to FBI officials about his Clinton campaign ties when peddling the false story about Mr. Trump and Russia.

NRA Fratricidal Fire Hits Second Amendment Hard
The NRA needs a new and dynamic leader to “restore, reform and reclaim the NRA for what it was intended to be.”
Disclaimer: I write this as publisher of one of our nation’s strongest Second Amendment advocacy journals and as a longtime life member of the NRA. Indeed, we hold that the First Civil Right is to “keep and bear arms,” a right justly considered to be “the palladium of the liberties of a republic.”
Founded in 1871, the NRA is the oldest of our nation’s organizational Second Amendment (2A) defenders. Nine U.S. presidents have been NRA members, including Ulysses Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and, most recently, Donald Trump.
In 2018, the NRA boasted a membership of 5.5 million and annual donor revenues of around $400 million. That included about $125 million from membership dues. Pew Research reported in 2017 that 14 million Americans identified as NRA members, but the NRA says that number is inflated because of the favorable position it held in gun-owner circles.
However, the organization has had a rough stretch in the years since.
Things were politically challenging under the progressively leftist administrations of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and times are no better now under Joe Biden. But since 2018, the Left has redoubled its efforts to take down the NRA — and NRA infighting has certainly assisted that effort.
To understand why the socialist protagonists leading today’s Democrat Party constantly endeavor to undermine the Second Amendment, look no further than the words of the primary author of our nation’s Constitution, James Madison, in the most detailed exposition on its meaning, The Federalist Papers.

Joe Biden continues to downplay the crisis of inflation. Democrats in the House and Senate keep trying to push legislation that will flood the market with dollars, continuing to devalue those same dollars. Raving pro-abortion activists howl about the SCOTUS leaked opinion and attempt to bully the justices into changing their minds. All the while, the rest of us are suffering. Particularly dire to parents is the baby formula shortage.
The baby formula shortage became an issue for new parents back in November 2021, but this shortage is getting worse, not better. According to USA Today, “Nearly 40% of popular baby formula brands were sold out at retailers across the U.S. during the week starting April 24, according to an analysis by Datasembly, which assessed supplies at more than 11,000 stores.”
In mid-February, Abbott Nutrition — a major manufacturer of infant formula — recalled several of its formulas that ....

Is the Left Agitating for War With Russia so It Can Cement Domestic Tyranny?
It has been odd and alarming watching the powers-that-be relentlessly escalate the proxy war our government is waging against Russia. It’s not just that we’re sending billions of dollars of weapons into Ukraine, are calling Vladimir Putin a war criminal and issuing other fightin’ words, are training Ukrainian troops and are trying to effect Moscow’s economic destruction. It’s also, senior American officials have now revealed, that via intelligence aid the U.S. has helped to:
• kill Moscow’s generals;
• down a plane carrying Russian soldiers; and
• sink one of Putin’s warships.
The kicker: By revealing this publicly — perhaps as strikingly inappropriate as leaking a Supreme Court draft opinion — Biden administration officials appear to be bragging about these “exploits” and rubbing the Russians’ noses in them. If you wanted to provoke a hot war, this is exactly how you’d do it. .....

Learning loss is real, and teachers unions owe an explanation
No parent needs to be told that remote learning during COVID was a disaster.
But a new study confirms it. Its findings cry out to heaven for accountability among those who brought this disaster upon their own school districts by ignoring science and keeping school buildings closed long after there was any justification.
Harvard researchers found that students in schools that stayed remote into 2020 lost the equivalent of half a school year of learning over the two-year window beginning in the fall 2019 academic year.

A lot of momma bears rose up when they were told they have no business being involved in their children’s education.
Well, it’s finally happened! George Orwell’s book 1984 is beginning to take place right before our eyes. The Department of Homeland Security, established after 9/11 to protect us from foreign adversaries, has changed its mission. Now it is going after the real threat to America — white supremacists, nationalists, and MAGA people. Who knew?

Freedom Is Rooted in Sanctity of Life
Star Parker
In 1955, an unmarried pregnant University of Wisconsin graduate student left her home and traveled to San Francisco to a doctor who took in unwed expectant mothers, delivered their babies and helped arrange adoptions.
The baby son she delivered and put up for adoption grew up to become the legendary business and technology entrepreneur Steve Jobs.
Had it been 1975, rather than 1955, there is a reasonable chance there would have never been a Steve Jobs. In 1975 America, after Roe v. Wade became law and where values markedly changed such that a young Catholic woman felt less shame to be unmarried and pregnant, Steve Jobs' mother could well have wound up in a Planned Parenthood clinic.

James Cromwell Glues Himself to Starbucks Counter
Moonbat ideology is associated with young people. Normal development causes them to outgrow it. Tragically, some never do. The results can be less than dignified. Consider 82-year-old actor James Cromwell:
Cromwell glued his hand to the counter of a Starbucks in New York City on Tuesday in protest, saying the company charges more for plant-based milk alternatives.
Having imposed himself on the franchise along with other activists, he inflicted moonbattery on the customers.
He decried the practice of separating dairy cows from their calves and then taking the milk that would have gone to nourishing the newborns
“Mother cows cry for their infants for days,” said Cromwell, who plays anti-capitalist Uncle Ewan Roy on the critically acclaimed “Succession.”

White House says parents who can’t find baby formula ‘should have just had an abortion’
WASHINGTON, DC—Outgoing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that parents who are having trouble finding baby formula amid a nation-wide shortage “should have just had an abortion.”
“The administration has been quite clear about that that there wouldn’t be such a shortage if those women would have just had an abortion and you know what, we think it’s never too late,” Psaki said, implying parents should commit infanticide.
The comment followed heightened tension in the country concerning abortion after a Supreme Court decision, which may overturn Roe v Wade was leaked.
Many people are concerned about the shortage.
“We are taking this serious,” Pkasi added. “Deadly serious. And by that we mean we want to kill your babies.”

Biden denies 2000 mules were used in 2020 election fraud; says ‘it was more like 5000’
WASHINGTON, DC—President* Joe Biden has responded to the bombshell documentary 2000 Mules, which alleges there were 2000 ballot traffickers in swing states that helped steal the 2020 election. Biden boasted that “it was more like 5000.”
“Come on man, I said that we put together the most extensive voter fraud organization in the history of the country and I meant it!” Biden said in an honest take on the subject. “Two thousand mules? That’s child’s play. You think I could get elected with just 2000 ballot traffickers?”
“Biden is the most brain-dead person to ever get 81 million votes in an election anywhere in the world. You think that was an accident,” analyst Sam Eagle said.
The US Ministry of Truth has denied the use of any fraud in the 2020 election:
