Sales-Tax Escalator
https://www.city-journal.org/
The one tax that has never provoked a significant revolt keeps climbing higher…as inflation surged, few politicians targeted one of the most direct and controllable costs they impose on everyday purchases: the sales tax. Unlike property and income taxes, which have periodically provoked revolts, sales taxes have rarely faced organized political opposition. That helps explain why they are the one major tax category whose rates have risen almost continuously over the past century. Taken together, general sales taxes and selective sales taxes—special levies on goods such as cigarettes or rental cars—now constitute the largest source of revenue raised by state and local governments.

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley has uncovered major irregularities in California’s voter rolls, including more than 100 people allegedly registered at a single residence, dozens registered to a mail store, voters listed as 125 years old, and even a case where dogs were reportedly registered and received ballots. He also points to deceased individuals voting.
ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE: Massive BILLION Gallon Sewage Spill in Potomac River One of Largest in Nation’s History in Democrat-Run Maryland
https://gellerreport.com/2026/
A massive sewage spill that began January 19 after the collapse of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line near Cabin John, Maryland, has released hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River — potentially making it the largest wastewater spill in U.S. history. Previous records stood at 143 million gallons, but estimates now suggest the total could approach 1 billion gallons before the crisis is contained.
DC and Maryland Democrats are STILL pumping raw sewage directly into waterways leading to the Potomac River, with NO end in sight.
Maryland to ‘Reap the Consequences’ of Dem Governor Wes Moore’s Political Stunt
http://redstate.com/wardclark/
Just over one month into the 90-day legislative session, Gov. Wes Moore signed emergency legislation into law prohibiting local cooperation with ICE, outlawing 287(g) agreements in the state of Maryland…This stupid policy ensures that dangerous criminals who would otherwise have been detained and repatriated are instead still loose on the streets in Maryland, endangering the citizens, endangering local law enforcement, and endangering the federal agents who now have to go out and hunt them down, instead of having them quietly handed over at the local hoosegow

The proposal is specific. It would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote for the first time, require a government-issued photo ID when casting a ballot, require mail ballots to include identifying information tied to a valid government-issued ID in addition to signature verification, and authorize formal audits of voter rolls.

NYC Mayor Jihad Mamdani Forces Israeli Company Out of New York City

The New York City municipality is evicting an Israeli drone business for “business considerations.” Needless to say, nobody is buying it. Easy Aerial, a drone manufacturer that works with the IDF, received notice that it will have to leave its New York offices at the Brooklyn Navy Yard municipal complex. They were given 60 days—insufficient time to relocate its 100 employees to another location in the city. The company’s chairman, Shahar Abuhatzira, thinks this isn’t a local decision—“100 percent from the top.”

Cawthon: 2A Supporters Need Results Before Midterms
https://bearingarms.com/
The current Congress can’t pass gas, let alone any pro-2A legislation. The Supreme Court seems to be content to smile benignly on lower courts’ defiance of its decisions. The burden of inspiring pro-2A voters to show up at the polls falls squarely on President Trump, the actions of his administration, and the efforts of pro-gun groups and gun owners to persuade them to get back on track…If Republicans want the gun vote, they need to earn it. They need to stop endorsing anti-gun Republicans like Tony Gonzales while trying to keep a vehemently pro-gun Brandon Herrera out of office, just to name one example. Especially because Brandon doesn’t cheat on his wife with staffers who later self-immolate. Allegedly.

Zohran Mamdani clearly stated who he was and what he wanted to do if elected mayor. Now he is doing it. The problem is that Mamdani, like a good socialist, no doubt read every book on socialism there is, and all of them said that taxing the rich would work. What they left out was the part about the rich being able to pack up and head to friendlier financial climates. What does he do then?…Let’s review: no snow removal, no trash pickup, defunding the police (let’s be honest, that’s what it is), taxing the rich, and when the rich leave, hiking property taxes.

Bernie Sanders Dismisses Wealthy California Exodus, Then Proposes National Wealth Tax
https://americanjournaldaily.
There was a time when the American dream had a specific destination: California. It was the land of golden opportunity, where innovation and ambition could build empires under the sun. That California, however, is a distant memory, something you’d see in a black-and-white movie. That California is gone, replaced by a cautionary tale—a real-time experiment in what happens when radical progressive policies run amok. The results are as predictable as they are tragic. A quiet, steady exodus of the very citizens who once made the state thrive is underway. Job creators, innovators, and families are packing their bags for states that still value economic liberty. This flight of capital isn’t a mystery; it’s a rational response to a state that has chosen to punish success. But for the architects of that decline, the truth is a bitter pill. For proof, look no further than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. He recently revealed the left’s stunning hypocrisy, and you almost have to see it to believe it…What they are saying to the people of California is, it doesn’t matter to us, we’re billionaires, and we’re getting richer and richer, and if children die because they can’t get to a doctor, tough luck. We have the power, California, and we are going to punish you… And by the way, that is why I will be introducing a national wealth tax. Where are they going to run then?

∙Senator Sanders’ reaction reveals the Left’s deep-seated emotional fragility when their policies fail.
∙Socialist policies inevitably drive away success, leaving states poorer and more desperate.
∙The Left uses emotional blackmail, inventing motives to avoid debating economic facts.
∙The ultimate goal of a national wealth tax is control, not prosperity—a cage, not a solution.

NYC Opens First ‘Free Grocery Store,’ But It Isn’t What Residents Think
https://americanjournaldaily.
It’s the oldest grift in the progressive playbook: the siren song of “free.” They promise a utopian fantasy where the government handles every need, somehow magically exempt from the basic laws of economics. They paint a glorious picture of a benevolent state where no one wants for anything, all provided by the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen. Spoiler alert: it never, ever works…That’s not a dispatch from crumbling, socialist Venezuela. That was the scene in the West Village of New York City, where a so-called “free grocery store” devolved into a vortex of predictable chaos. The images of desperate citizens lining up before dawn, the rationing of tickets, and guards barking at disappointed Americans to “go home” is the inevitable conclusion of any system built on handouts. And there you have it. That’s socialism in a nutshell. When a resource is declared “free,” it is instantly made worthless and scarce. The system doesn’t reward the most needy; it rewards the first, the fastest, or the most aggressive, creating a frantic scramble that turns neighbors into rivals. As one man named Sherrod said after being denied, “I couldn’t get no more food.” This is the cold equation of collectivism: a promise of plenty that delivers only anxiety, conflict, and, ultimately, starvation.

Iran’s leaders are talking about a nuclear deal with the U.S., but they are also rushing to prepare for war in case talks between the countries fail. Tehran is deploying its forces, dispersing decision-making authority, fortifying its nuclear sites, and expanding its crackdown on domestic dissent. The moves reflect its leaders’ belief that the survival of the regime itself is at stake…. Iran has also been conducting work at its nuclear sites to better protect them from strikes, according to satellite imagery published and analyzed by the Institute for Science and International Security, a think tank based in Washington. The satellite images show that Tehran has been hardening and strengthening tunnel entrances at its Isfahan site—where Iran is believed to have kept much of its highly enriched uranium and which was heavily damaged by U.S. and Israeli attacks last June—and at a deep underground tunnel complex in what is known as Pickaxe Mountain

No Laughing Matter: John Cleese Declares “I’m Afraid They Are Going To Have To Arrest Me”
https://www.zerohedge.com/
The government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer has continued its headlong plunge into the criminalization of speech. The guidelines include a section on cultural nationalism, stating that such views are now the subject of government crackdowns. To even argue that Western culture is under threat from mass migration or a lack of integration by certain groups is being treated as a dangerous ideology.

Democrats Are Obsessed With White Men
https://townhall.com/
You can’t turn around these days without seeing some leftist somewhere whining about white men. As a white man, it seems like every Democrat is an obsessed stalker – it’s enough to make us want to take out a restraining order…What is the obsession the left has with us?… We created democracy, pretty much all the rights everyone enjoys and all the concepts behind them, in one way or another. Literally all the technology Democrats use to complain about us – television, computers, internet, print, etc. Hell, even the languages most liberals speak…there’s no money in honesty with Democrats; bigotry pays well on the left and victimhood is their Bitcoin.

Pete Hegseth Comes Under Fire for Meeting the Standards He Demands of Others. Yes, You Read That Right
https://redstate.com/streiff/
…What particularly got their goat was Hegseth bench-pressing. What really got them was his pressing 315 pounds. It was nearly a metaphor for Hegseth’s career. He faltered. He almost failed to make it. But when it counted, he succeeded.
vide0 – 00:00:23 – https://twitter.com/i/status/
The Daily Beast outdid itself in being the most shameful outlet. Hegseth had filmed himself lifting before the Fort Campbell event with his teenage son spotting for him. The headline of their story is Pentagon Pete Berates Son Gunner for Nearly Ruining Publicity Stunt.
The bottom line is that Hegseth is building a bond with the rank and file unlike any Secretary of War/Defense in our history. He’s showing them that he can walk the walk he’s imposing on them. He’s laying down a marker for their bosses, because if SecWar presses 315, you can bet there will be pressure on lots of colonels and generals to be seen lifting weights at the gym. The services are recovering the professionalism destroyed by Lloyd Austin, and the cultural rot is being excised. The competence of the military makes Hegseth immune from attacks in that quarter, so the left has to find something else. And this is the crap they come up with: lying and mocking Heseth for lifting weights with the troops, when most of the critics would be hard-pressed to do a single rep of push-away-from-the-table, much less lift the plates. They do it because it is all they have left.

CDC Scientists Engineer New Chimeric Frankenvirus Combining Nipah Virus Fusion Protein With Paramyxovirus Backbone: Journal ‘npj Vaccines’

Some constructs 100% fatal in mammals...A new peer-reviewed study reports that government scientists genetically engineered a live paramyxovirus chimera that acquired new membrane-fusion, host-cell interaction, and immunological functions derived from Nipah virus, according to the paper’s methods and results.The move comes as NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently stated that such experiments were not being performed under the Trump administration. “Nowhere in the United States Government will we invest in a project that poses a risk of catastrophic harm to the American people ever again,”

Liberal Judges Declare Themselves President
https://amac.us/newsline/
Rogue federal judges are no longer content trying to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda with absurd rulings and nationwide injunctions—now they are actually trying to appoint personnel to the executive branch against the chief executive’s wishes. The latest incident happened in upstate New York, where federal judges swore in a prosecutor of their choosing as U.S. attorney. Within hours, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche responded with the constitutional equivalent of a rolled-up newspaper, posting “Judges don’t pick U.S. Attorneys, @POTUS does. See Article II of our Constitution. You are fired.”
Virginia Takes Aim at the Constitution

Yet another bill adding Virginia to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), which Spanberger is soon expected to sign into law, is potentially just as damaging – not only to Virginia’s Constitution, but the U.S. Constitution as well.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association also complained about detention policy during the High Holy Reign of Saint Barack the Lightbringer: “The Obama administration’s massive expansion of family detention began in the summer of 2014 and will incarcerate thousands of asylum-seeking children and mothers who are fleeing extreme violence in the Northern Triangle region of Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador) this year. This practice is a due process and humanitarian disaster and must end.”…We could just have normal policy debate, again, but first we would apparently need to medicate about a third of the population. This level of psychotic hysteria is unsustainable. Our cultural revolution needs to be brought to a close.

Mexico Explodes: It’s Now Open War Between Cartels, Mexican Military
https://redstate.com/
The United States is now in the interesting position of having a failed narco-state on our southern border, wherein the cartels, enriched by drugs and human trafficking, are directly taking on the Mexican military and the Mexican government. They appear to have set the civil authorities back on their heels, and now the Mexican military is involved. The country has descended into chaos. The cartels have some serious military hardware to bring to bear, and it would be shocking if they don’t have some former military in their ranks – or, worse, current military.
Americans Ordered To Shelter in Place in Mexico Amid Cartel Violence After Kingpin’s Death
https://americanjournaldaily.
We’ve all seen the glossy travel brochures, right? The ads promise turquoise water, warm sand, and an easy escape just across the border. Places like Cancun and Puerto Vallarta are peddled as idyllic paradises where hardworking Americans can finally relax. We’re constantly told that Mexico is our friend, a partner we can trust. Spoiler alert: it’s a lie. The entire image is a carefully constructed fantasy. Beneath the surface of all-inclusive resorts is a brutal, narco-terrorist state waging a war it has no control over. This is a war that doesn’t care about tourist seasons or international borders. For thousands of Americans who bought the sales pitch, the dream evaporated this weekend when our own government had to issue a startling warning.
“Due to ongoing, widespread security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity in many areas of Mexico, U.S. citizens should shelter in place until further notice. Roadblocks have impacted airline operations, with some domestic & int’l flights canceled in both Guadalajara & Puerto Vallarta. Taxis/ride shares are suspended in Puerto Vallarta. Seek shelter and remain in residences or hotels.”
Key Takeaways:
∙Mexico’s government is incapable of controlling the violent cartels operating within its borders.
∙The chaos in Mexican tourist hubs is a direct preview of the threat posed by an unsecured border.
∙An America First policy of securing our own border is the only real solution to this threat.
∙The cartels are a paramilitary force, not just criminals, and must be treated as such.
After Cartel Response to Leader’s Killing, Mexico’s Gun Laws Look Even More Ridiculous
https://bearingarms.com/
… the attacks have once again revealed just how idiotic Mexico’s gun laws are. The country makes it nearly impossible for average citizens to legally own firearms for self-defense, though several states have seen the rise of community self-defense groups who are arming themselves with illegally obtained guns, including AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles.

https://boriquagato.substack.
“if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit” is a time honored tradition among charlatans and politicians, but this commonplace political pokémon sometimes evolves into a far more pernicious final form: “when what you want is too odious and calamitous to be popular (or even tolerable), lie until you get power and then once you have it, ram whatever you wanted down everyone’s throats.”…Elections have consequences, and like so many things (like insider trading) that are illegal when we the people do it, bait and switch that would land any private business owner in sing sing is just “business as usual” from Gracie MansionSing Sing to the swamps of the district columbian.

ISLAM
Before Sharia In America
https://gellerreport.com/2026/
a page from the Standard Encyclopedia from the late 1960s, before the onslaught of islamization and sharia in America.,, First off, they actually depicted Muhammad, something they would never, ever do now. And secondly, look at the description, “Mohammed, founder of Islam, with the sword and the Koran, symbols of his faith.”…I went and checked my World Book (hardcover) Encyclopedia from 2001 (pre-911) and was shocked to find that the crime of whitewashing and propaganda was already in full practice. No photos of Muhammad. No mention of jihad wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations or enslavements. No mention of the sword.

………….I don’t think we can keep the republic Franklin talked about from where we are. Adams knew the reason: paper and ink don’t enforce morality. People do. Or they don’t. And when they don’t, the government is happy to step in with a smile and a 10,000-page regulation. The norms are gone. The absurdity remains. And the bill? It’s due, with interest.
