Skilled Marksmanship: An American Tradition
Our goal is to inspire Americans with our amazing history and return America to a nation of Riflemen again. You can’t write the story of America without including several chapters about the marksmanship skills and bravery of our forefathers. At Project Appleseed, we honor the pursuit of liberty of our ancestors who fought so bravely to secure it. We teach the art of rifle and pistol marksmanship during 1 or 2-day clinics. We welcome Americans of all ages and experience levels. Owning and mastering a rifle or pistol is part of our American heritage.
Today, Project Appleseed is not just a one-time event; it is a community of like-minded individuals passionate about marksmanship and history. By participating in a Project Appleseed event, you become part of this vibrant community. After completing the program, we encourage you to stay connected through local events, online forums, and social media groups. This community provides ongoing support, mentorship, and opportunities for further growth and development in marksmanship. With a full calendar of events, Project Appleseed is here to make sure these timeless principles live on for generations to come.

Sauer Saved US Citizenship. Was SCOTUS Listening?
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/04/sauer_saved_us_citizenship_was_scotus_listening.html
The solicitor general’s arguments in the birthright citizenship case now before the Supreme Court should remind us all why and how we’re Americans…Let us hope that SCOTUS heard the profound truth underlying Sauer’s plain statements. Citizenship in America is not determined by British law, dirt, blood, or getting arrested. To again quote Sauer, “it’s a reciprocal relationship between the citizen” and the unique privileges, responsibility, and opportunity of being a political member of the American republic.

California Passes Bill To Criminalize Undercover Journalism
https://gellerreport.com/2026/04/breaking-california-passes-bill-to-criminalize-undercover-journalism.html/
What is California’s solution to the massive fraud being expsoed in undercover investigations?
Why, to criminalize such investigations, of course! Such naked corruption is without precedent.
The Assembly Judiciary Committee voted 11-2 to make investigative journalism illegal. Their bill would impose civil sanctions of $4,000 minimum if an immigrant services fraudster wants to be off camera and takes the issue to court. The fraudster can also pursue an injunction disallowing them from being exposed on camera by a journalist for up to four years. If the journalist refuses to take the initial video in which the fraudster was exposed down, they may face up to three times the amount of the initial civil penalty: $12,000. The bill protects “immigrant service centers” like fake Somali daycares or Los Angeles hospice centers from legitimate journalists by classifying them as “harassers.” In the worst case, if the Journalist is accused of doxxing a fraudster or posing an “imminent threat,” they can get criminal charges and $10,000 in fines. If this bill passes fully, and, Nick or anyone else were brave enough to film more ghost-client daycares or hospices, they’d be under severe financial and legal scrutiny

Iran’s Crown Rises: Pahlavi Ignites a Generational Revolt, Iran’s Reckoning Begins in Stockholm

The marble halls of the Swedish Riksdag echoed with the footsteps of a man who carries the weight of a thousand-year throne and the hopes of a fractured nation. Reza Pahlavi did more than walk into a legislative chamber; he reclaimed a seat on the global stage…It signals the birth of a new Iranian era…Swedish legislators received him with the honors usually reserved for a head of state…The world must now choose. It can continue to trade with the executioners, or it can stand with the Lion. Pahlavi’s message to his supporters is clear: the end of the occupation is near. The sun rises in the West today, but it will set over a free Tehran tomorrow. The Prince has spoken, the people have risen, and the regime has failed.

Irish Patriots Are Fighting Back
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/irish-patriots-are-fighting-back
So you say you want a revolution? Well, take a look at what’s happening in Ireland right now. Tens of thousands of farmers, truckers, and other fed-up “normies” are taking to the streets of Dublin to protest fuel taxes, mass immigration, and poverty-inducing “climate change” policies. For the most part, corporate news propagandists in both Europe and North America are intentionally ignoring the combustible situation. Just when I had begun to think that all the “fighting Irish” had moved to America, the Old Country has started to show signs of life. Perhaps there are still a few irascible pugilists willing to bash heads and take on the globalist empire after all….******Conor McGregor issued a bit of an ultimatum to the ruling class after the government mobilized the military and sent tanks to intimidate the protesters…Globalists call the will of the people “populism” and the will of bureaucrats “democracy.” But when enough people decide to fight back against the bureaucrats, the spirit of revolution hangs in the air. Perhaps that’s what we’re seeing right now in Ireland — a fresh reminder of Thomas Jefferson’s observation that no “country can preserve its liberties” if its “rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance.”
After all, the “tree of liberty must be refreshed … with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

Tom Steyer’s Latest Incendiary ICE Proposal and Call to Arms Is So Outlandish, Even Newsom Might Blush

He doesn’t just want to refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as so many blue state politicians do because they love illegal immigrants — he wants to jail agents and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel. It’s like he’s openly calling for an insurrection. You don’t have to believe me, he’ll tell you himself in his article titled: “How California Can Put ICE in Jail”…I read the rest of Steyer’s statement so you don’t have to.
To me, it sounds like an open call to violence against the federal government, an exhortation to “take to the streets,” to ignore SCOTUS, and to start what would amount to a civil war:

Tom Steyer’s Radical Campaign Promise: Abolish ICE, Jail ICE Agents, and Turn CA Into a Sanctuary Warzone
https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2026/04/15/tom-steyer-california-governor-ice-n2427159
Apparently, Tom Steyer is kicking his campaign into overdrive now that he got his wish and Swalwell is out of the Governor race in California. His new platform: how he’ll imprison ICE officers.
The true test of a leader is not who they disparage and attack, but who they defend and uplift. Donald Trump attacks and robs the most vulnerable in our society, while protecting and enriching the most powerful.
I’ve made it clear: ICE must be abolished. ICE is acting like a criminal organization, carrying out indiscriminate racial profiling and using violence, intimidation, terrorism, and the murder of Americans to extend Trump’s rule by fear.
It’s not enough for Democrats to simply engage in rhetoric, and “stand” against ICE or Trump. California must build a system that fights fire with fire. To stop this authoritarian takeover, we must counter ICE head-on, and go after both their agents on the streets and their leadership within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
How do we do this? The same way we took on the mob. Put ICE agents and their leadership in jail for their crimes, because that’s how you take on a violent extremist group and win.
As Governor, I will do the following five things. Each point builds on one another to create a comprehensive strategy that gives the State of California the power it needs to take on ICE and win.
First, I will go after ICE’s modus operandi: using racial discrimination to detain, arrest, attack, and brutalize Americans. I will pass aggressive legislation that builds on current California statutes and outlaws any law enforcement agency from profiling anyone based on their race, ethnicity, language, occupation, or location. We are done letting federal badges serve as a shield for abuse in our state.
Second, I will give the state Attorney General the authority to hold ICE’s leadership accountable for violence. My plan will pursue supervisory liability. This body of law empowers the California justice system to criminally prosecute and imprison not just the ICE agents who are committing these crimes, but the leadership directing them to do so.
Third, I will appoint and fund a special investigative unit and work with the Attorney General who is specifically tasked with enforcing these California laws, including laws related to the conditions at detention facilities. This investigative unit will collect the evidence the Attorney General can use to prosecute offenders and their leadership.
Fourth, I will bring those detained and kidnapped by ICE back home by creating a much larger and stronger immigration legal defense infrastructure in our state – funding for more attorneys, investigators, and accredited representatives, as well as legal aid and law school programs—to assist and help those who have been imprisoned without due process.
Getting the thousands of unlawfully detained immigrant men, women, and children the legal representation they need is one of the most direct ways to defend them from deportation. Data shows that 62 percent of immigrants without a lawyer are ordered deported, compared to 27 percent of those who have legal assistance. Backed by expanded protections against racial profiling, legal representation empowers detained individuals to report ICE’s crimes to the special investigator and California’s Attorney General, and take the agents to court.
And Fifth, I will launch a massive statewide “Know Your Rights” public education and public awareness campaign. Every Californian, regardless of their immigration status, should know their constitutional and legal rights if you are stopped, detained, or questioned by ICE agents, if you are assembled to protest against ICE, if you are filming ICE agent activities, or if you witness unlawful and illegal actions perpetrated by ICE agents.

That’s why you see such a large law enforcement community here. We take it very seriously.

Trump’s Blockade Is Breaking Iran… And European Elites Are Angry
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trumps-blockade-breaking-iran-and-european-elites-are-angry
I think it’s vitally important to address some lies and disinformation being spread by propagandists and foreign agents online about the US blockade, so let’s quickly go down the list…
Lie #1: The US Is Blocking All Ships Traveling Through The Strait
Lie #2: Chinese Vessels Have Broken The Blockade, And The US Is Afraid
Lie #3: The Blockade Puts US Naval Ships At Serious Risk
Lie #4: Iran Is Used To Sanctions And Can Hold Out Longer Than The US
Lie #5: Iran Has Alternative Ways To Bypass The Blockade
Lie #6: The Chinese Will Intervene And Force The Strait To Reopen
Lie #7: The US Is Losing All Its Allies Over The Blockade
What the blockade (and the war in general) is doing is exposing the countries that were pretending to be our allies when it was convenient…my final point on the war. The fact that the European elites are suddenly so concerned with the US blockade, enough to call for a “coalition” to reopen the strait and “circumvent” the US, tells us all we need to know. I continue to believe that the globalists in these nations have been feeding off the US while at the same time organizing a “multicultural alliance” behind the scenes – A socialist new world order to supplant Western civilization and leave the US behind as a husk…Regardless of how you might feel personally about the Iran war, it is undeniable that the situation has revealed many of our supposed allies as enemies. In reality, they were always enemies. The only thing that has changed is that the truth is finally out in the open.

The left-leaning legal intelligentsia — the crowd that spent four years weaponizing the Department of Justice against Donald Trump, his associates and anyone who dared support him — has now cooked up a scheme to torch the American justice system from the inside out. – Jury nullification. – Rogue judges’ rulings to upend the president’s policies aren’t enough. What stands in their way? Juries. Of real Americans. The leftists say they have to go…Liberal attorneys, facing a Trump administration that is finally holding criminals accountable, are now peddling the idea that jurors should ignore the law entirely if they don’t like the politics of the prosecution. Let that sink in. Not “the evidence doesn’t support a conviction.” Not “the law is being misapplied.” But: We don’t like who’s being prosecuted, so the jury should acquit regardless of the facts.

It refers to a new or novice concealed carrier’s first (or early) public outing while legally carrying a concealed handgun. The person typically drives to a Walmart, parks, and walks around the store shopping for a while—often 30+ minutes—while testing their holster setup, concealment, comfort, and mental mindset in a real-world environment with crowds of people.

The high court’s decorum is well-documented history, with the warm respect and friendship shared between ideological opposites Justice Clarence Thomas and the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg being a prime example of that. These days, however, there hasn’t been much warmth or respect when it comes to the differing ideologies on the Supreme Court bench. Jackson blasted her fellow justices while giving a speech Monday at Yale Law School, particularly when it came to its handling of the emergency docket. “The court’s stay decisions can, at times, come across as utterly irrational,”…“The court has left confusion in its wake.”…“There is a serious concern that the Supreme Court’s modern stay practices are having an enormously disruptive and potentially corrosive effect.” Jackson further derided the other justices, claiming that their “scratch-paper musings” had deleterious effects on the considerations of lower courts.

, and his live audience: often thousands watching at once on streams. His influence is amplified by clips—his content spreads on platforms like TikTok/X far beyond his direct follower count. His real impact is less about raw numbers and more about engagement + controversy, which drives reach.

NYC Rejects ICE Detainer for Illegal Alien Charged with Murdering 4
https://www.westernjournal.com/nyc-rejects-ice-detainer-illegal-alien-charged-murdering-4/
Roman Ceron Amatitla, 38, faces charges of second-degree murder and first-degree arson in connection with a March 16 fire in Flushing that left four dead and injured seven others, according to Fox News. He was arraigned on the charges last week, according to WABC-TV. He is being held without bail, the station reported…“This monster set fire to a building and watched as innocent people, including a three-year-old, burned to death. New York City sanctuary politicians REFUSE to cooperate with ICE and are choosing to RELEASE this MURDERER onto New York streets,”…“New York’s sanctuary politicians must stop putting politics above public safety,”

Mamdani’s ‘Happy Tax Day’ Video Backfires Big Time Thanks to His Family’s Massive Uganda Compound
https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2026/04/17/mamdanis-happy-tax-day-video-instantly-backfires-thanks-to-his-familys-massive-uganda-compound-n2201400
Mamdani, as RedState’s Becca Lower reported, announced a new pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes while filming outside hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin’s $238 million penthouse. “When I ran for mayor, I said that I was going to tax the rich,” Mamdani says, before getting up close and personal with the viewer, tapping on the camera lens. “Well, today, we’re taxing the rich.” He then essentially makes an example of Griffin’s property, noting that he “does not live full-time in the city,” while threatening him with substantial new taxes. Katie Pavlich torched the socialist mayor by flipping his own rhetoric back at him while noting that his family owns property in which they do not live full-time. “Mamdani’s family doesn’t live full-time in Uganda, and yet they have a massive compound there,” she wrote. “Perhaps the government should confiscate it.” while Mamdani pushes higher taxes on under-occupied luxury properties in New York, his parents — filmmaker Mira Nair and professor Mahmood Mamdani — have themselves a five-bedroom villa on two lush acres in Buziga Hill, Uganda, complete with a lap pool and gardens overlooking Lake Victoria. They have it listed on Airbnb, by the way, for those interested. Looks super-sweet. It was used for little Zohran’s lavish three-day wedding celebration back in 2025.

Democrats Want a Gas Price Panic Because They Cannot Beat Trump on Strength
https://amac.us/newsline/economy/democrats-want-a-gas-price-panic-because-they-cannot-beat-trump-on-strength/
Democrats are betting higher gas prices will do what they cannot: weaken President Donald Trump’s advantage on national security. Their hope is that voters will fixate on the cost of a fill-up and forget why energy markets reacted to the Iran conflict in the first place. It is the same desperate strategy Americans have seen before. When they cannot win the bigger argument on national security, they retreat to the issue of costs and pray that short-term frustration will outweigh the far more serious stakes of American security and credibility. The Democrat strategy is not subtle. Quinnipiac found that 65% of voters blame Trump at least somewhat for the recent rise in gas prices due to the Iran war, and Democrats think they have found their midterm jackpot issue. They hope if they can keep the conversation centered on pain at the pump, voters will forget their failures on the border, inflation, crime, and foreign policy.

2A History: When the Militia Set Things Right
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/04/17/2a-history-when-the-militia-set-things-right-n1232254
In American history, the militia was typically a body of men called up to fight, often beside regular troops of the standing army. They served as a supplemental force. When the National Guard was created, it tended to fill that role, though the militia has always existed on the books just the same. The truth is, though, that we haven’t been in a fight big enough to warrant the militia being called up, thankfully. Even World War II wasn’t that bad. But there have been times when militias formed to take on the government. We hear about Shay’s Rebellion or the Whiskey Rebellion, and many just nod their heads that these militias lost. Some even think that it’s proof that we can never remove a tyrannical government. The thing is, the militia has….the Battle of Athens is part of American history that too few people actually know about.

House Democrats Release Articles of Impeachment Against War Secretary Pete Hegseth Put Forward By Muslim Rep. Yassamin Ansari
https://gellerreport.com/2026/04/house-democrats-release-articles-of-impeachment-against-war-secretary-pete-hegseth-put-forward-by-muslim-rep-yassamin-ansari.html/
The resolution, led by Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, lists six impeachment articles:
★ Unauthorized war against Iran and reckless endangerment of U.S. service members;
★ Violations of the law of armed conflict and targeting of civilians;
★ Negligence and reckless handling of sensitive military information;
★ Obstruction of congressional oversight;
★ Abuse of power and politicization of the armed forces;
★ Conduct bringing disrepute upon the U.S. and its armed forces.
This one is too stupid to warrant comment. I think everyone understands that impeachment is now a purely political act. Far from being guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, Secretary Hegseth has offended Democrats by disagreeing with them on policy and by scoring one brilliant success after another, thus making them look bad. This impeachment effort isn’t going anywhere, but its filing is a reminder that if the Democrats take the House in November, as they almost certainly will, they will impeach President Trump and, probably, most members of his cabinet. They are that far gone in hate

Mamdani, Hochul Agree to Tax on Luxury Second Homes in New York City
https://gellerreport.com/2026/04/mamdani-hochul-agree-to-tax-on-luxury-second-homes-in-new-york-city.html/
Hochul is all in on Mamdani’s taxation policies…New York isn’t just losing residents—it’s bleeding the very people who pay the bills. The exodus of wage earners is at record highs, and the old hedge—keeping a pied-à-terre while earning elsewhere—is collapsing. The message is unmistakable: they won’t support a city that treats them like suspects and robs them blind. Close the second home, cut the ties, and move on…Another factor in the proposal’s favor is that it is not being considered as a stand-alone bill; Ms. Hochul intends to include it in the state budget. Under that scenario, the tax proposal will not be voted on separately. It will instead be largely hashed out in closed-door negotiations between the governor and the leaders of the Senate and Assembly. That will make it harder for the tax’s opponents, including the Real Estate Board of New York, a powerful industry group, to lobby effectively against the proposal

Four Democrat-Led States Reject Trump’s No-Tax-on-Tips Policy, Keeping State Taxes on Workers’ Earnings

Polis now requires taxpayers to report their federal deduction so the state can add it back to your tax bill in future years. Read that again. They built a mechanism specifically to claw back your relief. You almost have to admire the audacity.

Apr 19, 1775 –  The Shot Heard Around the World

April 19, 1775…The shot heard round the world…

https://oldnfo.substack.com/p/april-19-1775

0500 Lexington Green-

The British light infantry halted at Vine Brook, about a half mile from Lexington Green, in order to load their muskets. They then continued their advance. When they approached the Green they discovered Captain Parker’s company, about 77 men, formed up and in the open. Someone somewhere fired a shot. The light infantry then rushed onto the green with bayonets, and fired upon the retreating militia. Eight militiamen died on the town common in Lexington. Ten others were wounded. Captain Parker then worked to collect what was left of his company and take them back into the fight later that afternoon.

0700 Concord-

The British entered Concord. Thaddeus Blood, a Private in Captain Nathan Barrett’s Company was among an advanced party that marched about mile east from the center of town along a high ridge that runs along the north side of the road. There they saw the column of British soldiers, 700 strong in a column stretching about a quarter mile, marching toward them. Blood described the scene a follows:

“…we were then formed, the minute (men) on the right, & Capt. Barrett’s (militia company) on the left, & marched in order to the end of Meriam’s hill then so called & saw the British troops a coming down Brooks Hill. The sun was arising & shined on their arms & they made a noble appearance in their red coats & glistening arms…”

0930 Battle of the North Bridge-

When the British first deployed at the North Bridge, they were positioned on the west side of the river. This is the side where the Minute Man Statue now stands.

Hopelessly outnumbered by the advancing militia, the British soldiers pulled back to the east side of the bridge, where the 1836 Obelisk now stands, and hastily organized for defense.

As the colonial column advanced to within about 80 yards of the British position, a succession of three shots rang out from the British side and landed in the river on the right of the advancing minute men. Luther Blanchard, a fifer from Acton cried out that he was wounded. Major John Buttrick of Concord then gave the fatefull order “Fire! For God’s sake, fire!” This was the first time colonial militiamen were ordered to fire on British soldiers.

In all, twelve British soldiers were hit, three of them fatally. Four out of eight officers present were wounded. The rest of the British soldiers broke and fell back in disorder towards Concord. On the colonial side, Captain Isaac Davis and Private Abner Hosmer were killed. Four other militiamen were wounded.

By the time the British staggered back into Boston at 1930, the British casualties were 73 killed, 174 wounded, 26 missing. The Colonial casualties were 49 killed, 41 wounded, 5 missing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ralph Waldo Emerson memorialized that day in the poem Concord Hymn-

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The for long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept;
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare,
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani Issues Emergency Order STOPPING Public Celebrations for America’s 250th Anniversary

Twenty five years after 9/11, how the hell did we get here?
Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an emergency order on April 6 restricting new special event permits in NYC parks from June 11 to July 19. The rule canceled a public July 3 ball drop, prompting outrage over clashing with the semiquincentennial while February’s large Ramadan gatherings in Times Square proceeded with permits. Critics like James Woods and Brian Hegseth called it unpatriotic, but officials cite safety needs amid a 6,000-officer shortfall and $90 million costs.

Iran is Betting on American Strategic Narcissism
https://gellerreport.com/2026/04/iran-is-betting-on-american-strategic-narcissism.html/
As the dust settles over the ruins of IRGC headquarters and the smoke clears from the latest round of precision strikes, a dangerous narrative is taking root in Washington. The narrative suggests that the Islamic Republic is finally broken, cornered by a naval blockade and a maximum pressure campaign that has brought the regime to its knees. However, beneath the surface of the amazing two days of diplomacy and the whispers of a grand deal, a far more cynical game is being played. Tehran is not surrendering; it is gambling. The regime is betting everything on a single, psychological calculation: that the United States is more interested in the optics of a deal than the permanence of a victory.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, still hasn’t been seen in public since he was named to his exalted new position…“Iran’s navy, is ready to inflict new bitter defeats on enemies.” That may be, but it’s more than a little improbable…The Army, is like the nation’s child, which arises from within the heart of the people’s homes. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army is now courageously defending the land, water, and flag that belong to it. Iran’s Army is standing side by side with their comrades from other armed forces, battling the two leading armies of disbelief and Arrogance.”…“And the Islamic Army has exposed those armies’ weakness and humiliation to the world.”…on Saturday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced: “Following the violation of the ceasefire conditions, the American enemy did not lift the naval blockade of Iranian vessels and ports; therefore, from this afternoon, the Strait of Hormuz is closed until this blockade is lifted.”

The Great Replacement Chronicles: The Sheepening
https://pjmedia.com/benbartee/2026/04/19/the-great-replacement-chronicles-the-sheepening-n4951949
Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
Reaching back in time to the days of Ottoman plunder of Europe and the kidnapping of its women to add to the harem, the military-age single migrant male preference for mating partner has always been for European women. Unfortunately, as has been demonstrated by empirical study funded by the European Union to figure out why they won’t cooperate with the program, the modern native women of Europe aren’t statistically interested in consensual relations with migrant men. The next best thing, therefore, is rape. And, boy, does the migrant love going to town on the natives — like a cock in the henhouse. The cherry on top is that they are virtually immune from prosecution and enjoy rhetorical cover from state media, giving them de facto free rein to ravish at will…Alas, when there are no women or passed-out teenagers on public transportation immediately available to rape, they’ll settle for livestock. Noticing patterns is obviously a thought crime in our Brave New World, yet I can’t help but shake the impression that Third World migrants from a certain region of the world seem to love raping farm animals (in addition to white people). Curiously enough, try as I might, I have not been able to find any denunciation of the migrant rape of farm animal phenomenon in Europe by PETA, the world’s preeminent animal rights organization.

Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be “the tough guy!” We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years.

https://americanjournaldaily.com/clinton-gop-trump/
Let’s be blunt. This isn’t a serious critique; it’s a masterclass in the unhinged arrogance of the failed political establishment. The idea that a sitting president gets a “dopamine” hit for defending America is so bizarre, you have to wonder what they’re teaching at Columbia these days. It’s a disturbing glimpse into a mindset that sees American power as a sickness to be managed, not a force for good to be wielded.

Fury As Nigerian Migrant Caught Cooking Cat In Public Park Next To Children’s Playground
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/fury-nigerian-migrant-caught-cooking-cat-public-park-next-childrens-playground
A Nigerian immigrant was arrested in Sarzana, Italy after local residents spotted him roasting a freshly killed cat on a makeshift barbecue in a Park—right beside a children’s playground…Nor is it isolated across the West. Just last month we reported on migrants filmed catching and butchering swans and ducks in parks and canals across the UK and Ireland…hese cases drew direct parallels to Springfield, Ohio, where Haitian migrants faced accusations of grabbing ducks by the neck, decapitating them in parks, and taking them home to eat. A city commission meeting heard residents testify to the practice, and a clip later surfaced showing the city manager admitting he had “heard about” the reports of Haitian migrants eating pets—despite frantic media efforts to dismiss the claims as baseless…The pattern is unmistakable. Open-border policies continue to import individuals en mass with entirely incompatible habits that clash with basic Western norms…Public parks are meant for families and children, not open-air barbecues of neighbourhood cats. When authorities have to step in to “return” spaces to the people who actually built and maintain them, it’s a damning indictment of how far unchecked immigration has already gone.

Michigan Democrat Senate Candidate Accused of Racist, Crude Remarks Against VP Vance’s Multiracial Family
https://americanjournaldaily.com/dem-vance-family
There used to be a line in American politics. A gentleman’s agreement, really, that protected the families of political opponents. Children, especially, were considered off-limits, shielded from the mud-slinging by a shared, if unspoken, sense of decency. That code was a load-bearing wall for our civil discourse. But that wall is now rubble. The decay has accelerated into a nosedive, where personal destruction isn’t just a tactic—it’s the entire game plan. When a political movement is bereft of winning ideas, it has no choice but to engage in character assassination. It manufactures outrage, pours gasoline on division, and aims to annihilate not just careers, but marriages and the sacred bond between a parent and child. A recent, stomach-turning tirade from a Democrat candidate proves they’ve found a new basement to bottom out in.
In a recent podcast appearance, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who is running as a Democrat in Michigan for a US Senate Seat, claimed that Vice President JD Vance
thinks his “brown kids” are “less American than everyone else,” and urged Second Lady Usha Vance to “get out” of the marriage…“Can you imagine, he’s **got Brown kids, at some point he’s going to have a really awkward conversation with his kids, like, you made your career hating people who are **different.”

Read that again. Let the sheer audacity of it sink in. These are the actual words of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a far-left Democrat angling for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan. In a podcast, El-Sayed went after Vice President JD Vance with a smear that was not only a lie but was dripping with racism. He projected his own twisted, race-obsessed worldview onto a father, claiming a white man couldn’t possibly love his multiracial children as equals.
(It is becoming increasingly clear that the DemocRATS have nothing to offer in the political realm except innuendos, leaks, smears, lies, and, sadly, increasingly, naked violence is becoming much more common at all levels, from the streets, to the political rallies, to the legislatures and Congress jlr)

In the WaPo on Wednesday, he declared that Muslims should not have to assimilate into American society and should not be expected to do so, and that efforts to ban Sharia were not only bigoted and “Islamophobic,” but also futile, as Muslims simply weren’t going to give Sharia up. And he’s right about that part, albeit in the midst of being wildly disingenuous about the nature of Sharia itself…practicing Muslims — despite being repeatedly asked to — can’t disavow ‘sharia’ even if they wanted to. Sharia, roughly translated as Islamic law, includes guidelines on how to pray, fast and otherwise observe what it means to submit to God in daily practice.”…Shadi Hamid, however, as a Georgetown professor and Washington Post columnist, is a cosseted member of the leftist establishment. That establishment has decreed that anyone who is outside that establishment and questions anyone within it is simply a racist “Islamophobe,” and thus safely ignored. Shadi Hamid is thereby freed of any obligation to confront the reality of Sharia or his disingenuousness in this article. He can and will simply wave it away as “bigotry.” And the whole charade will go merrily on.

America: Land of the (Not Really) Free

Supporters of the income tax implicitly endorse the idea that our rights are gifts from government and, thus, can be revoked by government at the will of our rulers. Adoption of the income tax signified the abandonment of the belief that individuals have inalienable rights granted them by the Creator…The income tax system’s rejection of natural rights is exemplified by withholding that gives government first claim on an individual’s earnings…Withholding was implemented during World War Two as a “temporary” wartime measure…Income taxes, along with the military draft and other types of mandated “service,” are incompatible with a free society and should be opposed by all who value liberty and peace.

SPLC caught funding an array of “white supremacist” groups, proving once again that right-wing extremism has never been in such great demand and such low supply
https://www.eugyppius.com/p/splc-caught-funding-an-array-of-white
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a sleazy American political advocacy organisation that exists primarily to collect donations from morally overexcited gullible people. They solicit these donations by claiming to combat an array of political evils associated with “white supremacism.” Mainly the SPLC are known for filing lawsuits, publishing otiose classifications of alleged hate groups and promoting things like “anti-bias education.” In its stated aims, the SPLC is not alone. A whole world of political activists and non-governmental organisations – to say nothing of entire governments and intelligence agencies – devote astounding resources to ends like these. The postwar progressive consensus derives political legitimacy from seeming always and everywhere to oppose nefarious, illiberal and anti-egalitarian forces. The problem is that malign hate groups are in extremely short supply. Never has there been such a dearth of them as today.

So, amidst this settled confusion, I wish to help you out today on the birthday of the Earth! In the name of education, below I will give you many of the promised Global Climate Warming Crisis Change disasters!

Extended Forecast: Bloodshed
https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/opinion/13kristof.html
Here’s a forecast for a particularly bizarre consequence of climate change: more executions of witches.
As we pump out greenhouse gases, most of the discussion focuses on direct consequences like rising seas or aggravated hurricanes. But the indirect social and political impact in poor countries may be even more far-reaching, including upheavals and civil wars — and even more witches hacked to death with machetes.
In rural Tanzania, murders of elderly women accused of witchcraft are a very common form of homicide. And when Tanzania suffers unusual rainfall either drought or flooding — witch-killings double, according to research by Edward Miguel, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley.
“In bad years, the killings explode,” Professor Miguel said. He believes that if climate change causes more drought years in Tanzania, the result will be more elderly women executed there and in other poor countries that still commonly attack supposed witches.
There is evidence that European witch-burnings in past centuries may also have resulted from climate variations and the resulting crop failures, economic distress and search for scapegoats. Emily Oster, a University of Chicago economist, tracked witchcraft trials and weather in Western Europe between 1520 and 1770 and found a close correlation: colder weather led to more crackdowns on witches.
In particular, Europe’s “little ice age” led to a sharp cooling in the late 1500s, and that corresponds to a renewal in witchcraft trials after a long lull. And there’s also micro-evidence: in one area, a brutally cold May in 1626 led outraged peasants to call for punishment of witches thought responsible. Some scholars have also argued that the Salem witch trials occurred after a particularly cold winter and economically difficult period.
The point is that climate change will have consequences that will be difficult to foresee but will go far beyond weather or economics. There is abundant evidence that economic stress and crop failures as climate scientists anticipate in poor countries can lead to violence and upheavals.
In the United States, for example, some historians have found correlations between recessions or declines in farm values and increased lynchings of blacks.
Paul Collier, an Oxford University expert on global poverty, found that economic stagnation in poor countries leads to a rising risk of civil war. Professor Collier warns that climate change is likely to reduce rainfall in southern Africa enough that corn will no longer be a viable crop there. Since corn is a major form of sustenance in that region, the result may be catastrophic food shortages — and civil conflict.
The area that may be hardest hit of all aside from islands that disappear beneath the waves is the fragile Sahel region south of the Sahara Desert in West Africa. The Sahel is already impoverished and torn by religious and ethnic tensions, and reduced rainfall could push the region into warfare.
“The poorest people on Earth are in the Sahel, barely eking out an existence, and climate change pushes them over the edge,” Professor Miguel said. “It’s totally unfair.”
His research suggests that a drought one year increases by 50 percent the risk that an African country will slip into civil war the next year.
Ethnic conflict in Darfur was exacerbated by drought and competition for water, and some experts see it as the first war caused by climate change. That’s too simplistic, for the crucial factor was simply the ruthlessness of the Sudanese government, but climate change may well have been a contributing factor.
In a forthcoming book, “Economic Gangsters,” Mr. Miguel calls for a new system of emergency aid for countries suffering unusual drought or similar economic shocks. Such temporary aid would aim to reduce the risk of warfare that, once it has begun, is enormously costly to stop and often damages neighboring countries as well.
The greenhouse gases that imperil Africa’s future are spewing from the United States, China and Europe. The people in Bangladesh and Africa emit almost no carbon, yet they are the ones who will bear the greatest risks of climate change. Some experts believe that the damage that the West does to poor countries from carbon emissions exceeds the benefit from aid programs.
All this makes the United States’ reluctance to confront climate change in a serious way like a carbon tax to replace the payroll tax, coupled with global leadership on the issue as unjust as it is unfortunate.
So let’s remember that the stakes with climate change are broader than hotter summers or damaged beach houses. The most dire consequences of our denial and delay may include civil war and even witch-killings among the poorest peoples on earth.
