Project Veritas was taken over by the WOKE.  They found reason to fire founder James O'Keefe.
Now, they are surprised that Project Veritas' contibuters have jumped ship and are now supporting James' new venture.

From the Gateway Pundit:

JUST IN: Project Veritas Sues James O’Keefe
Project Veritas sued James O’Keefe alleging breach of contract and other claims just months after he was removed from the company’s board.

The complaint was filed on Wednesday in a federal court in the Southern District of New York.

Recall, James O’Keefe was ousted as Project Veritas’ CEO last month after the organization’s board removed him.

Veritas claims O’Keefe was officially removed from the board on April 24 and formally fired May 15.

“Being known as the founder of an organization does not entitle that person to run amok and put his own interests ahead of that organization,” the suit said in the 70-page complaint.

The lawsuit alleges O’Keefe misused funds and mistreated employees.

Board members became aware of “serious allegations by Project Veritas employees about the incredibly troubling workplace and financial misconduct by O’Keefe.”

Heh - go WOKE, get BROKE
Without James, they have nothing and their backers know it.

The United Nations is irrelavent.  Corrupt.  The World Health Organization is right up there.
From the Daily Caller:

North Korean Health Official Elected To Board Of World Health Organization
North Korea will serve on the executive board of the World Health Organization (WHO) until 2026 after being seated during the organization’s general assembly meetings this week.

Dr. Jong Min Pak of the North Korean Ministry of Public Health will serve on the executive board for a three-year term. Australia, Qatar, Ukraine, Switzerland, Barbados, Togo, Lesotho, Comoros and Cameroon were also elected to three-year terms.

The South Korean Foreign and Health Ministries condemned the decision, asking why the dictatorship is qualified to serve on the WHO board when it regularly ignores WHO and United Nations rules.

The reaction at home?

There is a big kerfuffle in NC about teachers. The Democrats do not like Charter Schools and are doing everything in their power to denigrate them in people's hearts and minds.  Unfortunately for them, the Charter Schools have much better academic performance.  The Governor jumped the shark recently and announced an Emergency - trying to get more money for the teachers unions. The Gov. is Democrat but the State House and Senate enjoy Republican majorities.  Some interesting politics.

This video dropped recently - takes the wind out of some sails...

Speaking truth to power - Robert F. Kennedy

Looks like the Department of Homeland Security is going to be coming down hard on Domestic Terrorists.
AKA you and me...   From The Epoch Times:

New DHS Memo Warns of Heightened Threat of Terror Attacks Through 2024 Election Season
The United States faces a heightened risk of terror attacks from now through the 2024 election cycle, according to a new memo from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The DHS issued a new National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin on May 24 stating “perceptions of the 2024 general election cycle and legislative or judicial decisions pertaining to sociopolitical issues” could “mobilize individuals to commit violence.”

The DHS bulletin states likely targets for attacks include law enforcement, government facilities, critical infrastructure, faith-based institutions and “individuals or events associated with the LGBTQIA+ community.” The bulletin states these threats come from extremists associated with foreign terrorist organizations as well as domestic violent extremists motivated by a range of ideological beliefs.

DHS said it’s working with the FBI and a variety of additional federal partners and programs in an effort to identify threats and inform security planners. The bulletin also lists resources for faith-based organizations, community organizations, schools, and other potential targets to prepare against attacks.

This leaves us soooo open to false-flag attacks.  Perfect for blaming those nutty conservatives and MAGA kooks.

Plus all the recent shootings where the perp was "known" to law enforcement.
Many of them were taking SSRI meds and a sudden withdrawal from those can cause suicidal tendencies.
Too many of these for it to be a coincidence - every mass shooting enforces their cry for gun grabbing.

We are at war with our on Nation.  Time to take it back.

Talk about "nothing to see here, folks..."  From the Gateway Pundit:

Charges Dropped Against Sai Kandula – The East Asian Migrant Terrorist with Nazi Flag Who Tried to Ram White House and Take Over the Country
Last Monday night, one week ago, a young migrant from Chesterfield, Missouri drove a U-Haul truck and attempted to ram his way through a White House barrier. his plot failed and police arrested the young man in shorts. Police investigators then pulled an apparent Nazi flag from a U-Haul truck after the crash near the White House and laid it on the street for photographers. It was a white supremacist attack!

As Kristinn Taylor reported — Eyewitnesses say the truck was driven twice into a barrier before stopping. The incident took place at the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th and H St, NW. Police laid out the flag on the sidewalk near the truck, apparently for the media to film, before folding it up and taking it away.

Internet users immediately were suspect. The only thing they found in the truck was a Nazi flag? This was too convenient for Joe Biden and the FBI’s narrative of the dreaded white supremacist threat in America. It smelled like another fed operation.

Yep - this one had a certain TLA stink surrounding it.  And the driver?

U.S. Park Police say Sai Varshith Kandula of Chesterfield, Missouri, was taken into custody at the scene. Kandula faces multiple charges including assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, the threat to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a President, Vice President, or family, destruction of federal property, and trespassing.

It is interesting in that a lot of the "terrorists" seem to use three names. Curious - I have three names but I only use the first and last.  Same with most other people.
Turns out that the moke is NOT a US citizen - they have not told us where but...

And now this latest event: 

Something extraordinary happened — prosecutors dropped every single charge, leaving Kandula with nothing but “a single count of depredation of property of the United States in excess of $1,000,” the Post notes.

Critics want to know why.

“I don’t want to sound paranoid, but that seems like they’re trying to hush this up,” Mark Hemingway, the husband of conservative commentator Mollie Hemingway, tweeted.

Some interesting comments at the site. Yeah - our government is 80% corrupt and the other 20% are scrambling to save it.  Interesting times ahead.  Glad that I do not live in a city anymore.

The origins of what we are dealing with now - from Gateway Pundit:

All of the Grooming Pornography and Filth in Classrooms Goes Back to Obama – Obama’s Safe School’s Czar Was Promoting It (Warning on Content)
Retail giant Target has partnered with GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) for years. They believe this is a noble cause. GLSEN is a group that provides sexually explicit books to schools, pushes gender ideology throughout public school curricula, and advocates policies that keep parents unaware of their child’s in-school gender transition .

According to reports, GLSEN is a radical education group leading efforts to create ‘inclusive and anti-racist environments’ for LGBTQIA+ students.

“GLSEN believes that every student has the right to a safe, supportive, and LGBTQ-inclusive K-12 education. We are a national network of educators, students, and local GLSEN Chapters working to make this right a reality,” the website reads.

Target Corporation confirmed its collaboration with GLSEN and expressed pride in their decade-long partnership. The company has been making annual donations to GLSEN, emphasizing its support for the organization’s mission.

But when did this all start? When was this introduced and promoted in public schools?

Interesting point that Barack Obama’s Safe School’s Czar Kevin Jennings is the founder of GLSEN
This did not come out of nowhere.  It is 100% by design.

Seriously, WTF are we doing over there... 
From the Gateway Pundit  -  First, some history from last year:

Russia Claims They Collected Evidence of Avian Flu Pathogens with Lethality Rate up to 40% in Humans at US Biolab in Ukraine
It wasn’t that long ago that Mitt Romney was threatening former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for suggesting the US was funding biolabs in Ukraine.

Back in March 2022, RINO Senator Mitt Romney accused former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of spreading ‘treasonous lies’ for simply talking about the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.

“There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release and spread deadly pathogens to US/world.” Gabbard said at the time.

“We must take action now to prevent disaster. US/Russia/Ukraine/NATO/UN/EU must implement a ceasefire now around these labs until they’re secured and pathogens destroyed,” she added.

And:

Less than 24 hours later, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that reports of biolabs in Ukraine were fake news propagated by Russia.

The Democrat-fake news-media complex then attacked anyone who brought up the biolabs in Ukraine.

Mitt Romney lashed out at Tulsi Gabbard, saying, “Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.”

And 

The Pentagon in June 2022 finally admitted in a public statement that there are 46 US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.

This is after months of lies and denials by Democrats, the Biden regime and their fake news mainstream media!

Fast forward to last Friday:

The task force of the Russian Ministry of Defence together with officers of the Federal Security Service and Rosselkhoznadzor have confirmed the collection and certification of avian influenza virus strains with a high potential for epidemic spread and the ability to cross the species barrier, particularly the H5N8 strain, whose lethality in human transmission can reach 40%. Remember that 1% of new coronavirus infections result in death.

We are idiots playing with fire.
The globalists need to be held to account and punishment needs to be meted out now.

From Slay News:

James Comer Finally Puts Dollar Figure on Alleged Bribe Paid to Joe Biden
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has dropped explosive new information that puts a staggering seven-figure sum on an alleged bribe Democrat President Joe Biden took while serving as Obama’s VP.

Comer sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday.

The letter threatens Wray with being held in contempt of Congress if he doesn’t hand over a subpoenaed document a whistleblower says shows that then-Vice President Biden took a cash bribe from a foreign national in exchange for policy considerations.

In the letter, Comer drops a bombshell and finally puts a dollar figure to the alleged bribe.

Comer says Biden took a whopping $5 million bribe. Wow.

Obama's scandal-free administration?  Yeah...  Obama and Biden are responsible for the USAs downfall.
We are close to the point of no return.  We need adults in the room now.

Looks like the charges are being lessened.  From the New York Post:

White House U-Haul ramming suspect Sai Kandula jailed until next week, charges downgraded
The alleged neo-Nazi accused of ramming a rented U-Haul truck into White House security barriers will be held in federal jail pending a detention hearing next week, according to reports.

Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, appeared in a Washington, DC, federal court Wednesday, where Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather ordered he be jailed until a hearing next Tuesday, CBS News reported.

Kandula, from Missouri, slammed the box truck into barriers along Lafayette Square just steps from the White House late Monday, US Park Police officials said.

He had allegedly planned the attack for six months, with his goal to “get to the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation,” records show.

Kandula was accused of threatening to “Kill the President If that’s what I have to do,” and praised Nazism and Hitler.

Next, they will be telling us that there is a manifesto.  There is always a manifesto.
Interesting too in that you can not rent a UHaul truck at 19.  You have to be 21.
The FBI is not even trying hard.  This is a false-flag operation. A distraction.

30 tons of ammonium nitrate disappears.  Sat Phones being issued to Congress.  Lots of things are lining up.

Our Nation had the infamous gas shortages of the 1970's - President Carter.
We created the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in 1975 to hold a stockpile so that we would never be caught short again.

Joe Biden is drawing it down - it is now lower than it has ever been since 1985 when record-keeping started.
It helps keep our gasoline prices down but this leaves us with none in case a real emergency happens.

He could have added capacity - done what President Trump did.  But nooooo...
This is not going to end well.

We The People paid for the Mueller Report.  It would be nice to claw some of that money back.
From The Federalist Papers:

Rep Anna Paulina Luna Proposes Fining Adam Schiff $16 Million for 'Lies' About Trump-Russia Collusion
Standing up to the reprehensible and basically treasonous lies perpetuated by leading Democrats in Congress, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has introduced a resolution that seeks to impose a $16 million fine on Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for his unsubstantiated claims of collusion between former President Trump and Russia during the 2016 election.

Luna argues that this amount represents approximately half of the total cost incurred by American taxpayers for the federal investigation into the debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative, as confirmed by special counsel reports from Robert Mueller and John Durham.

Luna, along with the GOP Conference, asserts that Adam Schiff has flagrantly breached the trust of the American people, abused his positions of authority, and engaged in a consistent pattern of falsehoods.

Excellent.  Probably not going to happen but it brings attention to his lies and his security leaks.

An odious little man.

From the New York Post:

Chicago’s new Mayor Brandon Johnson is already bad for business
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has been operating in the Loop since 1898, just 27 years after the Great Chicago Fire.

The exchange was part of the city’s rebirth and helped establish Chicago as a financial hub.

Now, we see the opposite of rebirth with Chicago’s population shrinking.

And the $66 billion CME may not be around to help with future renewal: The company has rewritten the terms of its lease so it can leave the city if politicians pursue “ill-conceived” public policy.

“We’re in a very strong position,” CME CEO Terry Duffy said in a recent interview. “If we had to leave, we could leave.”

Worth noting that Chicago also has some of the nation's most draconian gun laws.  It has only one store that is licensed to sell firearms. Yet, their year to date shootings are 211 shot and killed and 793 shot and wounded.

They need to have their budget cut by 80% and relocate their office to Adak Alaska.
Nothing against the good people of Adak but it is very remote from everywhere.

From the New York Times:

Justice Dept. Investigated Clinton Foundation Until Trump’s Final Days
The Justice Department kept open the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s family foundation for nearly all of President Donald J. Trump’s administration, with prosecutors closing the case without charges just days before he left office.

Newly released documents and interviews with former department officials show that the investigation stretched long past when F.B.I. agents and prosecutors knew it was a dead end. The conclusion of the case, which centered on the Clinton Foundation’s dealings with foreign donors when Mrs. Clinton served as secretary of state under President Barack Obama, has not previously been reported.

Mr. Trump, who campaigned on a promise to “lock her up,” spent much of his four-year term pressuring the F.B.I. and the Justice Department to target political rivals. After being accused by the president’s allies of serving as part of a deep-state cabal working against him, F.B.I. officials insisted that the department acknowledge in writing that there was no case to bring.

The closing documents, which were obtained by The New York Times as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, spelled the end to an investigation that top prosecutors had expressed doubts about from the beginning. Still, it became a rallying cry for Republicans who believed the F.B.I. would ultimately turn up evidence of corruption and damage Mrs. Clinton’s political fortunes.

And here is where things get interesting - waay down in the 22nd paragraph, we find the following:

“All of the evidence obtained during the course of this investigation has been returned or otherwise destroyed,” according to the F.B.I.

They declined to find anything and they destroyed the evidence they gathered so that nobody else could find anything.  If there was nothing to hide, why destroy evidence? 

A simple question I know but...

Human Error Turns Every Registered Nassau County Voter Democrat
A mistake listing every Nassau County registered voter as blue had many — especially Republicans — seeing red.

Many voters in the GOP-leaning Long Island county got their voter ID cards in the mail on Tuesday, and a half-million who got their cards saw a pretty glaring typo: All the cards say voters are registered Democrats, when in fact they might be Republican, independent or members of another political party.

And with the primary a month away, the mistake is sparking confusion.

And the problem:

So who is to blame? Blakeman pointed fingers at the printing company, Phoenix Graphics out of Rochester, which was hired by the county’s Board of Elections.

The printing company said it was a human error and is now apologizing. A spokesperson called it "an isolated event, but we apologize for our mistake, especially to Nassau County officials, who bear no responsibility for this problem."

I wonder about the political makeup of the Board of Elections...  
Throws the whole process into confusion:

For one registered Republican, the typo now has him questioning the election process.

Yeah - how can you trust the system when mistakes as simple as this are not caught.

Why do the mistakes always seem to favor one particular party?
A party that does not have the heart or the minds of We The People
Becuase of this, they are a party that has to cheat to stay in power.

Funny how that works...

From The Oregonian:

Gov. Tina Kotek knew of Secretary of State Shemia Fagan’s pot contract a week before it was made public
Gov. Tina Kotek learned Secretary of State Shemia Fagan had an outside marijuana consulting contract and had recused herself from an audit of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission’s pot regulation system eight days before Fagan’s side job became public, the governor’s office said late Monday.

Methinks that Gov. Kotek should resign too.  This is conflict of interest writ large.

Chris Lynch reminds us that this lawsuit (Oct. 03/2022) is still underway:

Trump sues CNN for defamation
Former President Trump has sued CNN in federal court in Florida for defamation.

In the lawsuit filed Monday, Trump’s attorneys claim CNN “has sought to use its massive influence — purportedly as a ‘trusted’ news source — to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically, culminating in CNN claiming credit for ‘[getting] Trump out’ in the 2020 presidential election.”

The former president is seeking $475 million in punitive damages, according to the lawsuit.

Wonder if they are going to settle out of court. Substantial chunk of change...

From The Washington Examiner:

Massachusetts US attorney resigns day before DOJ ethics investigation ends
Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins announced she would resign from her position the day before the Justice Department released a report from a monthslong ethics investigation detailing multiple violations.

Michael Bromwich, Rollins's attorney, said on Tuesday that Rollins plans to submit a letter of resignation to President Joe Biden on Friday. Bromwich said Rollins would make herself available to answer questions "after the dust settles and she resigns," according to the Associated Press.

Heh...  The original (Nov. 7, 2022) Associated Press article has more:

Justice Dept. watchdog probing Mass. US attorney
The Justice Department’s inspector general has opened an investigation of the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts, prompted by U.S. Attorney Rachel Rollins’ appearance at a political fundraiser featuring first lady Jill Biden, The Associated Press has learned.

An investigation by the department’s internal watchdog targeting one of the nation’s 93 U.S. attorneys — political appointees who are some of the highest-ranking federal law enforcement officials — is highly unusual. The ethics concerns surrounding Rollins threaten to undermine Attorney General Merrick Garland’s efforts to restore the Justice Department’s reputation for political independence after tumultuous years under Republican President Donald Trump.

The inspector general’s office is focusing on Rollins’ attendance at the Democratic National Committee event in July as well as her use of her personal cellphone to conduct official business, according to two people briefed on the investigation, which has been underway for weeks.

Of course, us proles will never learn the findings but they have to be pretty strong for her to ditch such a cushy and powerful job.  Rolling up the deep-state one bad actor at a time...

Talk about a bad actor - from Leading Report:

The final Durham Report was released today.  300 pages. From Just The News:

John Durham releases final report, concludes FBI had no verified intel when it opened probe on Trump
Special Counsel John Durham released a damning final report Monday after more than three years investigating the Russia collusion probe, declaring the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016. The prosecutor, however, recommended no new criminal charges.

"Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress and others and obtained by Just the News.

DOJ was slated to make the report public later Monday.

The prosecutor faulted the department and the FBI for failing to follow their own standards and allowing a probe to persist, including the surveillance of an American citizen, without basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

"Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we concluded the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," Durham wrote.

Wonder if CNN will lede with this tonight?  Not holding my breath.

Cover Your Ass - from the London Daily Mail:

Ex-CIA chief admitted that the 'Dirty 51' letter 'WAS political' as agency conspired with Biden campaign to produce it and falsely claim emails on Hunter Biden's laptop were Russian disinformation

• • Former CIA director John Brennan admitted infamous letter 'was political'
  • Letter sought to discredit reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation

Former CIA director John Brennan has admitted the infamous letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials falsely saying Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation 'was political'.

Brennan, the CIA chief during Obama's administration made the admission during his four-hour testimony to House Judiciary Committee investigators behind closed doors last week', Fox News reports.

Brennan's deposition comes as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is expected to give testimony on May 17.

Both Brennan and Clapper signed a letter by 51 former intelligence officials who claimed Hunter's laptop had 'all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation'.

An email shows Brennan agreeing to have his name added to the letter of signatories by the then acting CIA Director Mike Morell.

It is starting to unravel so the deep-state is turning on itself. 
Brennan was known to have Communist sympathies - he is admitting a little truth so he doesn't serve time for the big truth.

The history books for 1960-2030 are going to be interesting.

From the London Daily Mail:

Drug overdoses now killing the equivalent of a classroom of high schoolers EVERY WEEK - and nine out of 10 are fentanyl

• • Fentanyl kills about 30 teenagers and children every week, the equivalent of roughly one whole classroom
  • In 2021, 94 percent of overdose deaths were caused by fentanyl, compared to just eight percent in 2012
  • Drug overdoses among teens DOUBLED from 2019 to 2021 as fentanyl fuels a nationwide crisis

Deadly fentanyl is killing the equivalent of an entire classroom of children every week, staggering figures show.

Fentanyl, a highly potent synthetic opioid that's 100 times stronger than morphine, is ravaging America's youth.

A recent study found that fentanyl was responsible for the death of 1,557 children in 2021 — the equivalent of 30 children every week.

I keep wondering just how much the cartels are paying Chuck and Nancy to keep the border open.
That is the only explanation I can come up with...

U.S. officials admit losing ‘operational control’ of border, drug cartels poised to seize it
With just two words, the top uniformed officer in the Customs and Border Protection agency sent shockwaves across official Washington two months ago when asked whether his agency has operational control of the southern U.S. border.

"No, sir," Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told Congress in a shocking admission that exposed just how badly border security has deteriorated under President Joe Biden.

At the time, illegal crossings at the border in March were averaging 5,000 a day, far more than the historical average of 2,000 daily at the end of the Trump administration.

By last week, those crossing had exploded to a record 10,000 a day as the pandemic-related Title 42 order allowing migrants to be turned away expired.

Border officials says illegal crossings will soon shoot up to 11,000 to 16,000 daily. With each increase under Biden, more border patrol agents are being torn from their security roles and moved to process migrants and release them into the country.

When the total hits 16,000 daily, only 10% of available border agents will be on patrol and the drug cartels will have full control, says Brandon Judd, a border patrol agent and the president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union representing border agent.

I want to know how much.  Chuck and Nancy - how much are the cartels paying you to keep the borders open?

That is the only reason I can think of for this to be happening.

Yet another example from Ashland, Oregon.
From Breitbart:

Oregon Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director Nataki Garrett Alienated Longtime Donors, Audiences, and Actors with Woke Lectures
For decades, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival has ranked as one of the nation’s preeminent theater institutions, drawing hundreds of thousands of theatergoers each year to scenic Ashland to see the classics performed. But that sterling reputation is in jeopardy as the company teeters on the brink of Chapter 11 bankruptcy following a troubled tenure by its recently departed artistic director, Nataki Garrett.

Longtime time ticket holders and other insiders with knowledge of the situation told Breitbart News that Garrett’s woke sermonizing and aggressive focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion alienated large swaths of the festival’s faithful audience as well as many of its small donors whose contributions collectively helped keep the organization afloat.

“Some former donors have changed their wills to remove bequests to OSF,” one source said, adding that others have been “withholding donations until they knew she was out. Other donors view the board itself as culpable in this mess and want to see changes at the board level.”

Many actors who have performed at the festival for years no longer feel welcome because they are white, two sources told Breitbart News. While OSF has long used non-traditional casting, Garrett accelerated the trend to such a radical degree that white actors are now the minority in many productions.

As a result, some actors who put down roots in Ashland are now leaving because they can no longer find work.

Always happens.  Go with the WOKE crowd and you will always fail.  99% of people out there have not one bit of racism in their bodies.  It is those virtue-signalling WOKE-sters who are the racisits. Inventing racism if they cannot find it.

Ashland is a beautiful small town on the Oregon/California border - always a wonderful place to stop and have some good food.  A lot of Oregon is conservative.  I wonder when the pendulum will swing back.  Portland Delenda Est...

First-order thinking is the simplest: 
         Event→Response

Second-order thinking is more complex:
         Event→Response(consequences of response)→Adapt response to mitigate consequences→Final response

Third-order thinking adds another stage of adaptation. First-order is easy and it is what most politicians do to "fix" a "problem" and they leave the consequences to the next generation of politicians to fix.  The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is directly responsible for the homelessness and vagrancy we have today but the people who authored this bill are long gone (and hopefully relaxing in a nice pool of brimstone and molten sulfur).

A perfect example of this is happening right now - illegals are flooding through the border.  Regardless of their status, they need to be housed somewhere so this shit happens.
From the New York Post:

Homeless vets are being booted from NY hotels to make room for migrants
Nearly two dozen struggling homeless veterans have been booted from upstate hotels to make room for migrants, says a nonprofit group that works with the vets.

The ex-military — including a 24-year-old man in desperate need of help after serving in Afghanistan — were told by the hotels at the beginning of the week that their temporary housing was getting pulled out from under them at the establishments and that they’d have to move on to another spot, according to the group and a sickened local pol.

That is disgusting - our Veterans are being kicked out of their housing in order that the illegals can be put on the taxpayer dole.  They should have been turned away at the border. This is by design.

Talk about brain-dead first-order thinking by the local politicians.  Second order would be to have set up emergency FEMA tents in advance.  We knew they were coming.  Our "leaders" failed to look at the calendar and to plan ahead.

From FOX News:

Feinstein arrives over an hour late for Judiciary Committee meeting to approve divisive Biden judicial picks
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., was nearly an hour and a half late to a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on Thursday, one day after returning to Washington from her extended health absence.

Feinstein, who has been home in California and away from senatorial duties in Washington for months, returned to the city on Wednesday, but was not present for multiple votes that day, nor for most of a key nominations meeting Thursday. Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said at the beginning of the meeting that he hoped she would arrive, but the committee had to wait well over an hour.

What makes this even more better is her evident cognitive decline.  Some headlines (clickable)

• December 2020: Dianne Feinstein ‘seriously struggling’ with cognitive decline
• December 2020: Dianne Feinstein’s Missteps Raise a Painful Age Question Among Senate Democrats

From The Nigerian Observer:

Oando partners Yutong, receives electric buses for Lagos
Oando Clean Energy Limited (OCEL), a renewable energy business subsidiary of Oando Plc, has announced it has received electric mass transit buses that will kick start the sustainable transport initiative in Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial capital.

The announcement was contained in the notice sent to the Nigerian Exchange Group(NGX) wherein OCEL stated that the delivery of the electric vehicles was part of its commitment to the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) to enable the successful deployment of an electric vehicle infrastructure ecosystem involving electric buses, charging stations, and other supporting infrastructure “towards the attainment of a sustainable road transport system in Lagos State.”

Time for a subdued golf-clap everyone...  Yay - a renewable project. A bit more:

“In line with its culture of excellence, OCEL, partnered with Yutong Bus Co Limited, the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer to produce the electric buses, equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. In addition to the arrival of these electric buses, OCEL has also taken delivery of the charging stations and spare parts necessary to ensure their effective operation.

“Consequently, and in line with the provisions of the partnership between OCEL and LAMATA, the receipt of both the buses and charging stations marks the commencement of our Sustainable Transport Initiative, which is one of the Company’s pipeline projects to support Nigeria in meeting her goal of net zero by 2060,” OCEL stated.

The agreement between the parties will see to the deployment of over 12,000 electric buses in Lagos State, helping to transition the current combustion mass transit buses to electric buses, and with a view to generating for Lagos State about $2.6 billion as estimated economic cost savings, create 3,000 employment opportunities for drivers and 2,000 job openings for other support staff.

The last paragraph spells out the death of an Independent Nigeria.  China is not selling them the buses.  They are being financed. When Nigeria defaults, the Chinese will step in and demand a sizable chunk of the Nigerian Oil fields as repayment.  This is what they do with their belt-and-road initiative.  They go in, loan money for infrastructure and when the parent Nation defaults, they will take over a port city, a national resource, a utility...

Add to that, the buses will never run.  I am betting that they will have less than 100 on the road at any given time.  The Nigerian people will be screwed again, a few Nigerian politicians will put more money in their Swiss Bank accounts and China will extend its reach even further.

If we had strong leadership, we could raise a complaint about this encroachment.  Sigh...

No mention of this in the mainstream media for some strange reason...

Hey Gavin - how's that state of yours doing these days?
From The Hoover Institution:

California Defaults On $18.5 Billion Debt, Leaving State Businesses Holding The Bag
Little did California businesses know that they were cosigners on the state’s nearly $20 billion loan from the federal government that was used to cover California’s unemployment fund shortfall during the COVID pandemic. This ugly truth became apparent when the state recently decided to stop making payments on this loan. When a state defaults on its federal unemployment insurance loan, federal law requires that the state’s businesses repay the loan.

What makes this default even more egregious is that the stone-age-era IT system of the state’s Employment and Development Department (EDD) opened the floodgates to bad actors, permitting more than $30 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims during the pandemic. Those receiving fraudulent payments include incarcerated felons, a person impersonating a one-year-old, and a person impersonating Senator Dianne Feinstein. A single residential address received checks for around 60 separate individuals filing from that address.

This could have been avoided with a competent EDD. But this department’s performance has been deficient for decades, and California businesses, many of which are struggling, are left paying for blatant and costly mistakes that should and could have been solved years ago.

Yeah - things are just fine.  Business as usual.  Heading towards total collapse anytime now.
Collapsing the system will give us the opportunity to come in as heroes to FIX IT.
We then institute tyranny - but just for just a little while.  Until things get better.

Sound famailiar?  Russia?  China?  Venezuela?

It's got a name:  Cloward-Piven Strategy

Just the headline - from the Post Millenial:

Trans woman cleared of flashing penis at women in public after judge rules defendant is too fat for it to be visible

There is a photo. It is a hideous unhealthy sack of mayonnaise. Probably lives in its mother's basement.

First Lady Jill Biden Mocked for Horrible Seating Placement at King Charles' Coronation: 'Back by the Toilets'
Jill Biden was seen with her granddaughter at King Charles' coronation, but one thing that stuck out to everyone is her seating placement, as she was seen all the way in the back of Westminster Abbey.

Of course, people joked about the sticky situation. One person wrote, "Jill Biden is in the last row!" while another said, "Jill Biden in back row. Love it! Stupid move by Joe snubbing the king, supporting the Markles and encouraging their treacherous actions."

A third observed, "Jill Biden seated at the back by the toilets. Maybe they'd still planned for Joe to be there?" while a fourth stated, "Bit rude seating Jill Biden so far back isn't it?"

Always classy.  Pedophile.  Corrupt businessman.  We got ourselves a real winner...
Doctor Jill was put where she belonged.

Living in his own little world:

Today's crop of liberals do not know their history.  They think that they are going to be seated at the adult's table when the Revolution happens.  They do not realize that they are dangerous to those who grab power so they will be the first ones lined up against the wall and shot.  All Communist revolutions purged their academics once power was achieved.

Samuel Adams recognized this:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
—Samuel Adams

From the Gateway Pundit:

Soros-Funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner Resigns!
Soros-funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is resigning from office, effective June 1.

Kim Gardner tweeted her resignation letter.

“It is not the first time the legislature has proposed bills that would take away our city’s power — that has happened in nearly every legislative session since I took office. It is also clear to me, however, that as long as I remain in the office, it will not be the last,” Gardner said.

“… I can absorb those attacks, and I have. But I can neither enable nor allow the outright disenfranchisement of the people of the City of St. Louis, nor can I allow these outsiders to effectively shut down our important work. … But I cannot be the final Circuit Attorney ever to be elected in St. Louis. You must be able to have a voice in your criminal justice system. And we must allow our office to continue to operate,” she said.

Incompetent and an idelogue. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.

One is OK.  The other is NOT.  Good to remember:
