The Toll Of Abortion

Posted on by

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about abortion in America.

The article reports:

Abortion prevented a number of births equal to nearly 30 percent of live births during the Generation Z birth years. Meanwhile, Generation Z is the generation most likely to support abortion. Generation Z consists of Americans born between 1997 and 2012. Approximately 71 million members of this generation were living in the United States as of 2025–2026, making it one of the country’s two largest living generations, behind Millennials.

Between 1997 and 2012, an estimated 19–20 million pregnancies ended in legal abortion.

The annual number of abortions peaked at nearly 1.6 million around 1990 before declining for more than two decades. By 2020, however, the number had begun rising again, reaching roughly 930,000.

Following the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, estimates from the Guttmacher Institute and the Society of Family Planning placed the annual total above 1 million again. The organizations estimated approximately 1.03–1.14 million abortions annually in 2023 and 2024.

Did we kill the future doctor who would have cured cancer? Did we kill a future singer with a voice like an angel? Did we kill a future scientist who could get us to Mars? We don’t know.

The article concludes:

CDC data show large racial and ethnic disparities in abortion. In reporting areas that provided race and ethnicity data for 2022, non-Hispanic Black women accounted for 39.5 percent of reported abortions. For general population context, Black Americans represented approximately 13.6 percent of the U.S. population in 2022, although the two figures measure different populations.

Liberals also love championing diversity. However, because the abortion rate among non-Hispanic Black women was more than four times the rate among non-Hispanic White women throughout the Generation Z birth period, abortion eliminated a larger share of the potential Black Generation Z population and, to a lesser extent, the potential Hispanic population. So much for diversity.

Regardless of how you feel about abortion, two living beings with separate DNA’s walk into an abortion clinic and only one walks out. Legalizing abortion is a major step toward the devaluing of human life. Legalizing abortion up until delivery (as done in Massachusetts) is a total devaluation of human life. The next step is euthanasia, which is already legal in many countries and many American states. It has been said many times that the generation that made killing their children legal will be the first generation to be killed by their children legally. We have opened Pandora’s Box, and I am not sure if we will ever be able to close it.

Private Property Rights?

Posted on by

In 2010, I posted an article about the relationship between private property rights and the wealth of a country. One of the things that has made America prosperous is the private property rights that Americans enjoy. Unfortunately, those rights are under attack, both by people in Congress and people wanting to be in Congress.

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about some recent statements by Maine U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson.

The article reports:

Far-left Maine U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson just told a crowd of mobile-home park residents that the government should be able to take private property when he doesn’t like who owns it.

At a Labor Day weekend campaign stop Saturday at Blueberry Ridge Mobile Village in Wells, Jackson said the state should step in and take over parks owned by out-of-state companies and private equity firms.

“I feel strongly that, if needed, the state should be able to come in, to take these places over,” Jackson told residents gathered in a backyard, according to the Portland Press Herald.

He added that the state should hold the sites until residents can take them over “so you don’t see these private equity (firms) coming in and making a killing on these parks.”

It is not the state’s job to run mobile home parks until the residents can take them over. This may be a place where a truly free market would solve the problem. If the private equity firms are overcharging, all you need is an entrepreneur to open a less expensive park nearby. The private equity firm is not going to make money if everyone moves out. The idea of the government simply taking the land is not constitutional or wise.

The article notes:

Jackson is the progressive logger and former Maine Senate president who supports abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, and ending arms sales to Israel. Party insiders coronated him after Platner’s sexual-assault allegations ended that campaign. Mainers never nominated Jackson in a statewide Senate primary.

TGP also reported that Jackson’s longtime partner is his second cousin and the mother of his two adult sons. His campaign called coverage of the family relationship “shameful and desperate.” It did not deny the facts.

If the people in Maine vote for this man, they deserve what they get. Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to live with his presence in the Senate if he wins.

What Happens When You Clean Up The Voter Rolls

Posted on by

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article illustrating what happens when a state cleans up their voter rolls. If states are willing to verify their voters, the mid-term elections could be very different than the current predictions.

The article reports:

The Democrat Party’s once-dominant voter-registration advantage in Nevada has been virtually erased following an enormous statewide voter-roll cleanup, California Globe reported.

Today, are hanging on to a statewide lead of just 672 voters, down from an 87,000-voter lead.

New figures released by Democrat Secretary of State Francisco “Cisco” Aguilar show Nevada’s active voter rolls dropped 50,130 in August alone after routine list maintenance.

Nevada now has 2,062,136 active registered voters:

    • 796,805 are Nonpartisan (38.64%);
    • 569,337 are Democrats (27.61%);
    • 568,665 are Republicans (27.58%);
    • 82,903 are members of the Independent American Party (4.02%);
    • 13,620 are members of the Libertarian Party of Nevada (0.66%); and
    • 30,806 are members of other minor political parties (1.49%).

Of the 426,577 inactive registered voters in Nevada:

    • 196,289 are Nonpartisan (46.01%);
    • 105,481 are Democrats (24.73%);
    • 91,185 are Republicans (21.38%);
    • 19,770 are members of the Independent American Party (4.63%);
    • 4,416 are members of the Libertarian Party of Nevada (1.04%); and
    • 9,436 are members of other minor political parties (2.21%).

Voter fraud is a problem in America. A great deal of that voter fraud involves mail-in ballots. All active registered voters in Nevada automatically receive mail-in ballots unless they opt out. This system has been in place since 2021, ensuring that voters can participate in elections conveniently without needing to request a ballot each time.

The article notes:

For accuracy, voters designated inactive have not been permanently removed and remain eligible to vote. However, they will no longer automatically receive .

Under federal law, inactive registrations may eventually be canceled if the voter fails to respond to an address-confirmation notice and does not vote in two consecutive federal general elections.

We will not survive as a nation without honest elections.

Sunlight Is The Best Disinfectant, So Let’s Close The Shades!

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about a California law recently signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.

The article reports:

The formerly great state of took a giant step toward becoming a complete leftist dictatorship with a new law that completely destroys the 1st Amendment.

As The New York Post reported, Governor Gavin Newsom officially signed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” into law on Saturday. This comes just days after a leftist operative interrupted an interview the independent journalist was conducting at the State Capitol and launched a disgusting and bizarre personal attack against him.

The legislation, which officially takes effect on October 1, 2027, passed the Senate on Tuesday and cleared the state Assembly on Wednesday.

The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” was introduced by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who is married to California’s far-left Attorney General, Rob Bonta. AB 2624 claims to expand California’s “Safe at Home” confidentiality program to safeguard “immigration support service providers” from harassment.

But in reality, this is a disgusting power grab designed to silence brave conservative citizen journalists like Shirley who expose the rampant fraud bleeding American taxpayers dry in government-funded immigrant service centers.

For example, Shirley has exposed over $110 million in alleged Somali-run daycare fraud in Minnesota — empty “learning centers” billing taxpayers while no children were present.

He then followed up with a shocking exposé on California daycare and hospice fraud schemes. This included ghost operations in Los Angeles tied to massive looting of Medi-Cal and Medicare.

Nick Shirley has a lot of nerve uncovering Medi-Cal and Medicare fraud in California. This law is specifically designed to stop him for exposing any more fraud.

The article notes:

As previously reported, this fascist law states that anyone who takes photos, records video, or posts information online revealing the faces or locations of workers at these mass-migration, non-profit entities faces catastrophic consequences:

• A minimum $4,000 to $10,000 fine per violation
• Imprisonment and criminal misdemeanor charges
• Forced content takedown orders

I hope Nick Shirley sues California and the case makes its way to the Supreme Court.

Voting With Your Feet

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about another major corporation leaving California for Texas.

The article reports:

Hil Davis, the CEO of Digital Brands Group based in California, shared his blunt reasoning for moving his company’s headquarters to Round Rock, Texas. Davis told Fox News Digital, “Doing business in the state of California sucks.”

The Round Rock Chamber announced the move in a press release.

“Founded in California and known for its innovative approach to blending apparel brands with e-commerce technology and data-driven consumer solutions, Digital Brands Group’s relocation marks a significant win for economic development in Round Rock.”

“The company’s move reflects the accelerating trend of growth-oriented companies choosing Texas for its business-friendly environment, skilled workforce, and strategic position in Central Texas.”

“We are thankful to move to Texas, a business-friendly state, from California. We believe the operating environment and cost of business is significantly better, while also creating a higher quality of life and lower cost of living for employees. We are excited to build our corporate headquarters in Round Rock, especially as we move into our next phase of growth,” Davis added.

The article quotes Fox News:

Davis pointed to California’s high cost of living, long employee commutes and the rising cost of doing business, including defending against lawsuits.

“You start to add all those things up,” he said. “It doesn’t work. It doesn’t make sense. It’s too hard.”

The relocation comes as California wrestles with a much bigger question about whether the state’s costs, taxes and regulations are driving away the businesses and wealthy residents it relies on.

That debate has intensified around a proposed one-time tax of up to 5% on Californians worth more than $1 billion.

California has brought this on itself. One of the most beautiful states in the union has created an environment where the cost of living and the cost of doing business have skyrocketed. A business needs to go to where the cost of doing business is reasonable and the cost of living for its employees is reasonable. California currently meets neither of those two requirements. It remains to be seen if the state can change enough politically to avoid the economic disaster that is currently in its future.

Challenging Absurdity With Absurdity

Posted on by

The WNBA has had some challenges lately. Two recent articles at The Gateway Pundit have reported on some of those challenges.

On August 7th, The Gateway Pundit reported:

A former NBA player has set the internet ablaze after issuing the ultimate challenge to the ultra-woke WNBA’s self-proclaimed tolerance and inclusion policies to the trans community: announcing he will join the league in the coming months.

Enes Kanter Freedom, a Turkish player who played for five NBA franchises over his 11-year career, went viral on Friday after announcing he would identify as female and declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft.

He told America that he and his lawyers knew he was ‘qualified’ to participate after a careful review of the WNBA’s self-identification requirements.

Kanter Freedom added that his intention was “not to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.” All he wants is for the current rules “to be applied equally to everyone.”

On August 8th, The Gateway Pundit reported:

The league is launching task-force meetings and “listening sessions” as two former NBA players demand to know whether its women-only eligibility rule is based on sex or self-identification.

Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has rushed out a memo to teams nationwide on Friday after former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declared themselves eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft by identifying as women.

In the memo, obtained by the Associated Press, Engelbert tried to walk a tightrope, admitting the issue of transgender (biological male) participation will keep drawing “significant attention” while labeling it a “complex and nuanced topic.”

Engelbert wrote that the league will “always approach this topic thoughtfully, respectfully, and in alignment with the longstanding values of our league.”

I realize that it would totally ruin the league, but I would love to see what would happen if Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White actually played in a WNBA game.

Meanwhile, let’s just admit the obvious–there are differences between men and women, and some of those differences result in more athletic ability and stamina for men. There are exceptions, but they are rare.

Misplaced Blame?

Posted on by

When thousands of non-citizens were found on New Jersey voter rolls, New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherril blamed a software glitch for the problem. Well, not so fast.

On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

The recent news of illegal aliens registering in mass in NJ, and then voting, is not a surprise and is almost expected.

New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

SAVE is an online service administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides immigration status and U.S. citizenship information. SAVE only returns verification information. The decision to register or remove a voter remains with state or local election officials.

As of June 30th, there are 26 states using SAVE for voter-registration or voter-list-maintenance purposes. It processed 198 million cases in 2025.

The article includes the following map:

The article notes:

New Jersey joined the non-profit ERIC in August of 2022 to help clean their voter rolls. Secretary of State Tahesha Way said, “ERIC is a powerful step to strengthen New Jersey’s elections by increasing our ability to support eligible voters while also improving the accuracy of our voting rolls.”

Obviously, this isn’t working.

Their agreement (Section B, pg. 17) with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) does not allow NJ, or any other members of ERIC, to communicate or notate to ERIC that a person is a non-citizen.

The article explains:

This supposed sophisticated voter cleaning operation has in its by-laws that they do not want information that a person is a non-citizen. What’s even more bizarre, ERIC doesn’t use the SAVE system.

ERIC by-laws do not allow non-citizen info.

After President Trump was elected, he mandated enhancements to the SAVE system. There were several major changes. You could now bulk process voter lists. It now uses SSA data during citizenship verification. It now allows searches by Name, DOB, and last four of SS# instead of just the Alien Registration Number or I-94 number.

The SAVE system used to cost $1 per transaction. If you wanted to check, let’s say, 40,000 voters on your rolls, you would get a bill for $40 grand. These kinds of fees prevented many election administrators from using the system in bulk. Trump made it free and encouraged bulk processing.

The article concludes:

New Jersey isn’t alone with the recurring problem of registering anyone, even illegals. Many other States have had to disclose they are registering non-citizens automatically.

As we mentioned above, members of ERIC are hamstrung with bylaws that restrict the use of tagging non-citizens.

So, was the ERIC system purposely designed to hide illegals among our American citizen voter rolls?

So why would any American want to keep illegals on the voting rolls?

Some Thoughts On President Trump’s Speech On Thursday Night

Posted on by

The problems with voter registration fraud and election fraud are not news to many Americans. Some of us have long since stopped depending on the mainstream media for our news.

On July 16, The Gateway Pundit reported:

Tonight, in his address to the nation, President Trump presented and “fully confirmed” the “authenticity” of documents that have been declassified. One of the five areas of major concern he covered was a massive voter registration scheme by GBI Strategies, a story I broke in August 2023.

…The Gateway Pundit broke this story in August 2023!!!

A true grassroots story: In June 2023, conservative activist Phil O’Halloran told me he was in possession of Michigan State Police and Muskegon Police reports that would expose the shocking operations of a statewide fake-registration ring that was discovered in Muskegon, Michigan, only one month before the November 2020 election. Muskegon citizen Keith Hinkle FOIA’d the report after Muskegon County GOP Eections Committee Chair Chris Kaijala obtained the report number during an interview with the Michigan State Police Detective involved in the investigation. The MSP Detective gave Kaijala the report ID number so Mr. Hinkle could FOIA it. It was truly a team effort by grassroots patriots seeking the truth, like so many in Michigan, about the 2020 election.

The article concludes:

The affiant believed the records found at the location were crucial to determining the crime of Election Fraud Forgery and determining who may be criminally liable and who may have profited from the fraud.

The affiant later obtained a copy of the Muskegon PD Report 2020-19124, authored by Officer Foster, with a supplemental report by Detective Logan Anderson, along with a copy of the search warrant for the business location.

Not one person was prosecuted in this case! The FBI took it over from the MI State Police, where the story went to die!

And that is the problem. Until people are held accountable, the fraud will continue. And until Americans learn to look past the mainstream media for their news, the wrongdoing will continue, generally without the public’s knowledge.

Bringing Manufacturing Back To America

Posted on by

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about a decision by Toyota regarding the manufacture of their Tacoma trucks.

The article reports:

Toyota has announced that they are moving production of their popular ‘Tacoma’ line of trucks from Mexico back to Texas, which will create thousands of new American jobs.

The Toyota plant in san Antonio, Texas which will take on Tacoma production already produces other models, so the infrastructure is in place for the expansion.

This is great news for the country and a huge win for the Trump administration.

While the left shrieks about imagined Trump controversies every day, this is what President Trump is focused on. Making life better for average Americans.

The article quotes CNBC:

Toyota Motor on Monday announced that it is investing $3.6 billion to move production of the Tacoma midsize pickup truck from a plant in Mexico to its San Antonio, Texas, manufacturing campus.

The investment is expected to create 2,000 U.S. jobs at the facility, add a second vehicle assembly line and roughly double the size of the 2.7-million-square-foot plant by 2030, the automaker said. It will expand the plant’s annual capacity from roughly 200,000 to 350,000 units, Toyota said.

The announcement is part of Toyota’s stated plans to invest up to $10 billion more than previously expected domestically in the U.S. through 2030. It comes less than a week after the Trump administration confirmed it would not extend its trilateral trade pact with Canada and Mexico, instead opting to conduct annual reviews.

A Toyota spokeswoman said the company is “maintaining its operations in Mexico” as Tacoma production transfers from Tijuana to Texas over the next four years, but she declined to share additional details. The company plans to continue to produce Tacoma pickups at another Mexican plant in Guanajuato, she said.

“This investment expands Toyota’s manufacturing capacity and complements our broader North American production network,” she said in an email to CNBC.

Please understand that if you elect Democrats in the mid-term elections a lot of this growth will end. Creating jobs and wealth for every American is the Trump agenda. Creating wealth for Wall Street and the political elite is the agenda of the Washington, D.C., swamp.

How A Rent Freeze Impacts The Availability Of Apartments

Posted on by

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about the impact the decision of the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) in New York City to set the annual rent adjustment for rent-stabilized apartments at 0% for both one-year and two-year lease renewals commencing October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027.

The article reports:

Six of the nine board members were appointed by Mamdani before the vote. Owner representative Christina Smyth resigned hours before the final vote, calling the process predetermined. The lone dissent came from Arpit Gupta, a holdover appointee from former Mayor Eric Adams.

So what will be the impact?

The article explains:

A rent freeze does not simply cap future increases. It widens the gap between what a rent-stabilized unit can legally charge and what it could command on the open market.

As that gap grows, a landlord’s financial incentive shifts away from continuing to rent the unit and toward selling it to an owner-occupant, converting it to a condominium, combining units, or leaving it vacant rather than re-renting it at below-market rates. Each of these outcomes effectively removes the apartment from the rental market, even though the building itself remains.

A tenant paying far below market rent has little financial incentive to leave, so a unit can stop circulating in the rental market while remaining continuously occupied. This “lock-in” effect is among the most consistently documented findings in rent control research.

Stanford economist Rebecca Diamond, with Tim McQuade and Franklin Qian, studied San Francisco’s 1994 rent control expansion using a natural experiment involving near-identical buildings split by a construction-date cutoff. They found that landlords reduced the rental housing supply by 15%, chiefly by selling units to owner-occupants and redeveloping buildings. The same study found that rent control increased renters’ likelihood of staying at the same address by nearly 20%, reduced citywide renter mobility by 20%, and drove a 5.1% citywide rent increase as the lost supply pushed up market rents. A companion paper found the supply reduction was greater among corporate landlords, which have greater access to capital and can more easily exit the rental market.

The free market is always the best way to provide any product to consumers. Landlords do not own buildings just to own buildings–their aim is to make a profit. When the free market determines the cost of something, eventually the cost settles to a point where both the consumer and the seller are rewarded.

A Good Temporary Move

Posted on by

On June 17th, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about the results of the first Federal Reserve Board meeting since Kevin Warsh became Chairman.

The article reports:

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held rates steady in Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as Fed Chairman.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted unanimously to keep rates unchanged.

The benchmark rate is currently 3.5% to 3.75%.

Late last year the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 75 basis points – or 0.75%.

I believe that at least temporarily this is a good move. Right now we are experiencing some degree of inflation because of the impact of the war in Iran. If the peace treaty holds, that inflation will subside, and rates can be lowered in the future. I have read that despite the treaty about to go into effect, drones are being fired at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. If that firing continues, I am not sure the treaty will hold. The fighting in Lebanon also may have so impact on the success of the treaty.

The article quotes CNBC:

Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as Federal Reserve chairman concluded Wednesday with no change in interest rates, the removal of key language indicating a bias toward future cuts, and a dramatically shorter policy statement.

The Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously to keep its benchmark overnight borrowing rate anchored in a range of 3.5%-3.75%. The federal funds rate has held there since the central bank lowered rates by three-quarters of a percentage point in the latter part of 2025.

With a bevy of intrigue over Warsh taking the central bank helm, the meeting followed the same pattern as the others this year regarding rates but differved otherwise.

Wall Street did not like this decision. I think that all things considered, it was the right decision. The decision also affirms the independence of the Federal Reserve from the wishes of the President. I wish we could get rid of the Federal Reserve, but as long as we have it, I don’t want it controlled by the White House, regardless of who is President. If you have never read THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND by G. Edward Griffin, this would be a really good time to read it.

Questions About California’s Voter Rolls

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about a report by Nick Shirley on California’s voter rolls. There are some serious questions about the current elections for Mayor of Los Angeles and Governor of California that may never be answered, but the discoveries of Nick Shirley are very interesting.

The article reports:

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia.

Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire.

Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections.

There’s just one small problem.

Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940. That makes her roughly 86 years old. She’s never voted in 51 elections. And when Nick Shirley showed up at her door to ask about it, she was stunned.

Nick Shirley and his team went straight to the address listed on the official rolls to confirm what the Democrat-run bureaucracy is hiding.

The article includes the interaction between Nick Shirley and Doris. She states that she did not vote in 51 elections. I think it may be long past time to clean up California’s voter rolls. Congress also needs to pass the SAVE America Act to try to keep our elections honest.

I trust the current California election about as much as I trust gas station sushi!

We Are Finally Seeing Some Results

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about some serious cuts made to the Department of War spending.

The article reports:

The Deep State’s endless gravy train just collided with a massive brick wall.

In a direct and no-nonsense video announcement, Hegseth revealed the Department of War is immediately terminating $5.1 BILLION — yes, BILLION with a capital B — in wasteful contracts for consulting, nonessential services, DEI, climate nonsense, and duplicative IT work.

According to Hegseth, one of the largest savings comes from contracts awarded through the Defense Health Agency to consulting giants, including Accenture, Deloitte, Booz Allen, and other firms.

Those cuts alone are expected to save taxpayers approximately $1.8 billion.

Another $1.4 billion will be saved by eliminating a software reseller contract tied to enterprise cloud IT services.

Hegseth also highlighted a staggering $500 million Navy contract dedicated to what he characterized as bureaucratic “business process consulting.”

The article concludes:

So, if you’re keeping score at home, today’s cuts bring our running total to nearly $6 billion in wasteful spending over the first six weeks of the DoD-DOGE effort here at the Defense Department.

Their job is to go out and find the stuff that we can get rid of and then flow back into—drive back into—warfighting capabilities here at the Defense Department.

So, we want to thank our friends at DOGE. We want to thank all the folks here that have contributed to this effort.”

This is only a small percentage of the federal budget, but it is a good beginning. The problem has never been the lack of income from taxes–the problem has always been the runaway spending. It looks as if some of the things that DOGE discovered are now being acted on.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Is anyone reading this old enough to remember the ‘don’t fool mother nature’ commercials? They were margarine commercials where mother nature created havoc after someone tried to fool her. I don’t know about the margarine part, but I do know that we tamper with nature at our own risk. We have a large number of great white sharks off the New England coast because we are protecting the seals. I don’t think creating a feeding ground for sharks was the goal, but that’s where we are. Now some brilliant scientists are about to do something that defies the imagination.

On Saturday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

America’s most infamous tech company has a bold, potentially risky plan to supposedly reduce the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses, assuming the federal government will sign off on the proposal.

As The New York Post reported, Google wants federal approval to unleash approximately 32 MILLION mosquitoes into the states of California and Florida over the next two years.

This is supposedly part of an effort to halt the spread of several serious mosquito-borne illnesses, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.

The Google researchers particularly focused on West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis. The former is the leading mosquito-borne disease in the US and is widespread in California amongst local bird and mosquito populations.

…Rather than releasing biting insects, the company plans to release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacteria. When the infected males mate with wild female mosquitoes, the offspring do not survive, helping suppress mosquito populations over time.

Because only female mosquitoes bite humans, experts say the releases would not increase the number of biting mosquitoes.

Are these the same scientists who regarded kudzu as a beautiful, ornamental ground cover? Are these the same scientists whose hybrid silk worms got loose from the Museum of Science in Boston and became known as gypsy moths? You get the picture. Let’s not increase the mosquito population in order to decrease it. What happens if the mosquitoes find some way to adapt?

This Is How The Asylum System Is Supposed To Work

Posted on by

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about an Executive Order signed by President Trump to allow 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States. The Afrikaners are mostly the descendants of the Dutch settlers who arrived in South Africa in the 1600’s and began farming. Currently, many of them are under threat by their neighbors because of racially motivated violence. Many of the farmers have been murdered and their farms stolen. The government has played a major role in seizing land without compensation. I understand that the minority white population ruled South Africa in a way that did not allow the black majority to prosper, but stealing land and murdering people is not going to change that or bring peace.

The article reports:

The Trump administration intends to accept a further 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States in addition to the 6,000 Afrikaners already accepted, raising the 2026 cap to 17,500. Meanwhile, several patriotic Afrikaner organizations appealed to President Trump to help Afrikaners stay in their ancestral home.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced he was increasing the refugee cap for white South Africans because of “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation”, signing an executive order to “increase the ceiling to 17,500.” Trump blamed the South African government for “recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence”.

Presidential Determination No. 2026-14 of May 21, 2026 finds that “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation now exists due to recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence on the part of the Government of South Africa.”

“I hereby determine that the admission to the United States of Afrikaners from South Africa in response to this emergency is justified by the grave humanitarian concerns … and that an increase in the ceiling to 17,500 is warranted”, President Trump wrote.

Last month I posted an article about the refugees from South Africa who have already come here (article here). The are settling in and working as farmers. They are a definite addition to America.

Sad News From California

Posted on by

Political violence is inexcusable. Political violence against an elderly veteran is off-the-charts inexcusable.

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

Kerry Sheron, the 69-year-old owner of the ‘Trump house’ in Southern California, has died after being brutally beaten by a Navy veteran.

Sheron, an Army veteran, was violently assaulted by 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler in an unprovoked attack on May 20 outside of Sheron’s home.

Kerry Sheron decorated his Escondido home with Trump banners and American flags.

The Trump-supporting Army veteran died Sunday night just days after he was hospitalized in critical condition.

Butler was previously charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats and battery. His charges will be upgraded after Sheron died from his injuries.

Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia said Sheron was violently attacked by Butler.

“It was a single punch to the jaw,” Ross Garcia said, NBC San Diego. “The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”

Unless you live on a neighborhood with a Homeowners’ Association controlled by Karens, you are free to decorate your house any way you want to. This is disgraceful behavior on the part of the navy veteran.

On a lighter note, at one point when we were driving to a family event in Connecticut, we were given directions that said, “turn at the red, white, and blue house.” That really made no sense to us. So we were driving down this beautiful country road with traditional colonial houses, many of which were painted blue with white shutters and red doors, and we wondered how we would know the specific house the directions referred to. Then we rounded a curve and saw it–the upper left part of the front roof was painted blue with white stars and the rest of the house had horizontal red and white stripes. Then we understood the directions!

In America, we are free to decorate our houses any way we want to!

Did They Really Do That?

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported the following:

The United Nations elected Iran as one of 34 vice presidents of the 11th Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, which opened April 27 at UN headquarters in New York. Iran was nominated by the Non-Aligned Movement, representing 121 largely developing nations.

The appointment drew immediate objections from the United States, Australia, the UAE, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Christopher Yeaw, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Arms Control and Nonproliferation, called Iran’s selection an “affront” to the NPT, saying it was “indisputable that Iran has long demonstrated its contempt for the non-proliferation commitments of the NPT,” and declared it “beyond shameful and an embarrassment to the credibility of this conference.”

The UAE called the appointment “antithetical to the values of the NPT,” warning: “If a state party can disregard its obligations, undermine verification, destabilize its region, threaten international waterways, and still be elevated to a leadership position in this process, then we must ask what message this conference is sending.” Russia defended Iran and accused the objecting nations of “political attacks.”

The basis for the objections is extensive. Iran ratified the NPT in 1970 and concluded a comprehensive safeguards agreement with the IAEA in 1974. In 2002, the agency began investigating allegations of clandestine nuclear activities, finding that some had violated Tehran’s safeguards agreement.

Considering where we are right now–with Iran having admitted it was weeks away from 10 nuclear bombs and what followed–this is amazing. Notice that Russia is supporting the election of Iran to an office in the Conference. I wonder what deals were made behind the scenes.

The article concludes:

Regarding the current U.S.-Iran conflict, Iranian officials have demanded that restrictions on its nuclear program be omitted from any peace talks or agreements.

The NPT vice presidency is not an isolated case. In February 2026, Iran was elected vice-chair of the UN Commission for Social Development, a body focused on democracy, gender equality, and non-violence, and vice-chair of the UN Charter Committee. In April 2026, ECOSOC nominated Iran to the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination, which shapes policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention, with Western democracies including the UK, France, Germany, Canada, and Australia voting in favor. Iran had been removed from the UN Commission on the Status of Women in 2022 following its violent crackdown on protesters after the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody.

I have a feeling that if Iran continues on its current path of delay, delay, lie, delay it may not like the end result.

The Cartels Come To America

On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about an Orange County, California, arrest.

The article reports:

The FBI on Thursday arrested 43 Mexican Mafia gang members in Orange County, California.

According to the feds, the gang members committed various crimes such as kidnapping, extortion, trafficking drugs, running gambling businesses, and murder.

The defendants were charged with 66 counts, including racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, violent crimes in aid of racketeering, trafficking narcotics such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine, and using firearms during a crime of violence.

“Gang members who murder, extort, kidnap, and traffic drugs and firearms are a menace to our communities and our way of life,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “Today’s arrests highlight the continuing cooperation between federal and local law enforcement against violent felons and our unyielding determination to crack down on organized crime in our prisons and our streets.”

The article concludes:

From his prison cell, Cardenas (Luis Cardenas, 48, a.k.a. “Gangster,” “Pops” and “Tio,” an inmate at Ironwood State Prison) used an encrypted messaging application on contraband cell phones to direct Alvarado in the operation of the Mexican Mafia’s activities in Orange County.

Cardenas directed others to kidnap and assault people in bad standing with him, and Alvarado, Cesena, and others carried out his directions. Defendants operating for the Mexican Mafia shot at and assaulted victims.

The gang also sold narcotics – including fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine – via slap houses (illegal gambling houses), gangs, and drug dealers in Orange County.

It ran illegal gambling businesses within commercial strip malls and private residences. The gang collected extortionate taxes and provided security, including the use of violence, to protect the illegal gambling businesses.

The Department of Justice under President Trump is quietly doing what they should have been doing for years.

Shenanigans In Campaign Donations

Posted on by

In December 2024, I wrote an article about campaign donations to Democrats coming from ActBlue. ActBlue was recording donations from people who never sent them. The actual origin of those donations was unknown. Well, at least we have reached the point where Congress is looking at the situation.

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising platform, for “deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations.” This was following an internal investigation that “prove[d] that ActBlue continues to process gift card donations” without proving identification of the donor.

The same day, the House Judiciary Committee deposed five employees after subpoenas were issued to two employees in June 2025 by Reps. Jim Jordan, Bryan Steil, and James Comer. The recent depositions included “top staff responsible for fraud prevention” and sought to “learn more about the platform’s acceptance of illegal donations – and the subsequent cover-up,” according to a post on X by the House Judiciary GOP.

…The House Judiciary GOP account states that the five employees were asked 146 questions and that the ActBlue employees “refused to answer a single one, invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination every time.”

The questions included:

    • Is there any reason you are unable to provide truthful answers to today’s questions?
    • Have ActBlue executives ever instructed you to allow more fraud on the platform or weaken ActBlue’s fraud-prevention defenses?
    • Have you ever been part of a conspiracy to launder foreign money into fraudulent donations for campaigns using ActBlue?
    • Did members of ActBlue’s legal and compliance teams leave ActBlue after the 2024 election because of the platform’s inability to prevent fraud during previous election cycles?

Pleading the Fifth does not mean that you are guilty, but it is definitely interesting that the people from ActBlue would not even explain why they wouldn’t answer the questions. Hopefully someone will go to jail for their criminal activity.

Do We Need A Do-over?

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

A Palm Beach, Florida, elections volunteer was arrested for stealing computer equipment encrypted access key ahead of a special election where a Democrat won by 800 votes.

John Panicci was arrested on Friday for taking sensitive computer equipment and other supplies on March 19 ahead of the March 24 special election.

As previously reported, a Democrat flipped a Florida state house district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Emily Gregory won state house district 87 in last Tuesday night’s special election.

The article concludes:

During their investigation, detectives said that on March 19, the Elections Office was doing a training session for volunteers who were going to help with the election scheduled on March 24.

Detectives said that during the training session, Panicci stole an encrypted access key from a voter registration terminal.

The key that Panacci allegedly took was programmed only for the training databases, but there were concerns that if someone else could reverse engineer the encryption, they could then use it on a voter registration kiosk for malicious purposes.

I am not enough of an electronics geek to know if the piece of equipment that was taken could skew the results of the election, but if I were a resident of the area, I would want a do-over with paper ballots.

Ignoring The People You Are Supposed To Represent

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about the seeming reluctance of Senate Majority Leader John Thune to work to pass the SAVE America Act.

The article reports:

In yet another blatant betrayal of President Donald Trump and the America First agenda, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has once again shown his true RINO colors by flatly refusing to make any changes to Senate rules that would allow the critical SAVE America Act to pass.

This comes as Trump ramps up pressure on the GOP establishment to secure our elections before the midterms, but Thune is more interested in protecting the swamp than fighting for the American people.

“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” Thune said on Monday when pressed by ABC News about altering the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to advance legislation.

This stonewalling directly undermines Trump’s urgent call to pass the SAVE America Act, which would crack down on voter fraud and ensure only American citizens vote in our elections.

Americans overwhelmingly support the provisions of the Act, yet Congress does not seem to be able to bring about legislation that reflects the views of the voters.

The article concludes:

This isn’t Thune’s first rodeo in backstabbing Trump. Senate Majority Leader John Thune unveiled a procedural scheme to block President Donald Trump from making any critical appointments during the August recess, effectively aiding the Democrats’ obstructionist agenda.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the president can make “recess appointments,” temporary appointments to federal positions, if the Senate is in recess and not conducting business. These appointments don’t require immediate Senate confirmation and can last until the end of the next session of Congress.

But there’s a loophole: if the Senate holds pro forma sessions, very short, symbolic meetings where no actual business is conducted, then technically, the Senate is still in session. That means the president cannot legally make recess appointments during that time.

We need to remember that John Thune was Mitch McConnell’s protege. His actions are not surprising.

When Reporting Leaves The Important Parts Out

Posted on by

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about the Supreme Court’s decision regarding tariffs. What we have heard in the media is not entirely correct.

The article reports:

Many media outlets are reporting that the Supreme Court ordered President Donald Trump to stop levying tariffs. However, the reality is more nuanced and does not prevent Trump from imposing tariffs altogether. The Court ruled only that he could not levy tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA); however, the president has several other options available.

The Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s emergency tariffs imposed under IEEPA, ruling that he had exceeded his authority. For his broadest actions, including the “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs and the “Trafficking Tariffs” on Mexico and Canada, the administration argued that because IEEPA permits the president to regulate importation during a national emergency, he could unilaterally impose tariffs.

The Court rejected that argument. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote that the power to regulate does not automatically include the power to tax, which is what a tariff is, and that if Congress intended to grant such taxing authority, the statute needed to explicitly reference tariffs or duties. Because IEEPA does not, those specific tariffs were ruled unlawful.

Within hours of the decision, President Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, announcing a new global tariff initially set at 10 percent and later raised to 15 percent. That provision authorizes import surcharges of up to 15 percent to address serious balance-of-payments deficits for 150 days. The temporary authority gives the administration time to design replacement measures and signals that tariff policy will remain unsettled as congressional elections approach.

The problem was not the tariffs–it was the law used to justify them.

The article concludes:

The Court’s ruling was narrow. It limited the use of IEEPA but did not eliminate other statutory authorities. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act permits tariffs on goods that threaten to impair national security, and the Court did not address that authority. Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 authorizes tariffs in response to unfair trade practices, including intellectual property theft. Both remain legally available.

By shifting its rationale to Section 232 and other statutes, the administration is positioning these tariffs to withstand future court challenges, arguing that national security includes secure borders, resilient supply chains, and protection against adversaries that benefit from U.S. markets.

Stay tuned.

Pay Attention, Republicans

Posted on by

On Saturday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about some recent comments by Republican activist Scott Presler. You may remember that Scott Presler was a major factor in President Trump’s 2024 election victory. He has become a seasoned political worker and observer.

The article reports:

Republican activist Scott Presler joined Kayleigh McEnany on FOX News to push the Save Act. Presler told FOX News that there are already 48 co-sponsors with Mike Lee sponsoring the bill. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune needs to bring it up for a vote.

The Save act requires:
** Proof of US citizenship to vote,
** Mandates states to verify the citizenship of voters
** Requires states to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls

These are basic rules to help secure our elections. Democrats are against them, of course.

Scott is urging everyone to continue to call their senators and ask them to make a public statement about moving the Save Act to the Senate floor.

The article includes the following statement from Scott:

So my warning to members of Congress that are not willing to pass election reform at the federal level, which is constitutional, is either Republicans allow for proof of citizenship and photo voter ID, or it’s very likely that Republican voters will not come out on Tuesday, November third, and we very likely could lose the House of Representatives, and you could even lose Senate. The senatorships in Alaska, Maine, North Carolina. And if we lose three seats, Kaylee, it’s 50-50, and we lose the majority. So to our beautiful Senate Republican colleagues that are in the majority right now, I ask you, bring the Save Act to the floor, and any senator against proof of citizenship must tell the American people publicly on the floor why they are against it.

The Save Act will help deal with the problem of election integrity. Right now we have tens of thousands of people in America who are not citizens and may not have a problem illegally voting. The Save Act would help deal with that problem. If the Republicans can not get it passed, what is the point of electing them?

Please follow the link to the article. It contains a video of the interview on Fox News.

Stopping Corruption At Its Root

Posted on by

On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article that provides one example of how the fraud in Minnesota got started and is continuing.

The article reports:

Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.

However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.

During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.

“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.

“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.

It’s very easy to tuck earmarks into thousand-page bills that no one has time to read. It’s time that Congress passed bills that were less than five pages long and were limited to one topic.

The article notes:

As scrutiny intensified over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s role in directing taxpayer funds to questionable Minnesota entities, attention also focused on her family’s abrupt and dramatic rise in wealth.

According to a bombshell report from the New York Post, Rose Lake Capital, founded by Mynett in 2022, scrubbed the details of nine key figures between September and October 2025.

The list included high-profile Democrats like former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli, ex-Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus, DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman, former DNC treasurer William Derrough, and Keith Mestrich, the ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank, which he once called “the institutional bank of the Democratic Party.”

None of these individuals has been charged with any fraud. However, the timing coincides with federal prosecutors announcing charges against eight more suspects in the massive Minnesota welfare scam, six of whom are of Somali descent.

Omar, a prominent member of the far-left “Squad,” entered Congress in 2019 with a net worth between negative $25,000 and negative $65,000, burdened by student loans and car debt with no assets to her name.

Ilhan Omar will continue to be elected because of the voter fraud in her district. I think it is time that the Justice Department spent some time with her.

Making Our Roads Safer

Posted on by

On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

Secretary Kristi Noem announced that a joint 287(g) operation between ICE and the Indiana State Police resulted in the arrest of 223 illegal aliens along Indiana highways near the Illinois border, including 146 truck drivers. The operation, conducted in Northwest Indiana as part of Chicago-based Operation Midway Blitz, targeted individuals involved in offenses including DUI, drug trafficking, burglary, assault, child abuse, domestic battery, prostitution, and fraud. More than 40 of those arrested had been issued commercial driver’s licenses, primarily from Illinois, California, and New York.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also conducted roadside enforcement actions in multiple states, including New York, detaining drivers holding valid commercial licenses issued by other states. Federal and state officials said these operations were intended to address public safety risks associated with illegal aliens operating commercial vehicles and cited recent fatal crashes as justification for coordinated enforcement, particularly in and around sanctuary jurisdictions.

The enforcement actions followed federal audits that identified widespread CDL fraud and improper issuance practices across multiple states. Federal officials estimate that as many as 130,000 undocumented truck drivers may be operating in the United States, with tens of thousands believed to have obtained licenses through illegitimate means.

The article concludes:

Multiple bribery and test-taking fraud schemes have also been prosecuted nationwide, involving DMV employees, trucking school owners, and professional test-takers. In California, a scheme involving multiple trucking schools and DMV employees led to 20 convictions after hundreds of commercial driver’s licenses were issued to applicants who had not taken or passed required tests. School owners acted as brokers, collecting payments and bribing DMV employees to enter false passing results into state databases.

In Massachusetts, former State Police Sergeant Gary Cederquist was convicted on 48 counts for providing false passing scores to 40 CDL applicants in exchange for bribes, including cases of Fiji Water, Arizona Iced Tea, and Swedish Fish. Prosecutors said Cederquist and his co-conspirators used the term “golden handshake” to mark applicants who would automatically pass, even if they failed or skipped the skills test.

Again, I am looking for some orange jump suits!
