OK, this one is for all the professional “sensitivity editors” out there, and for the US Department of Homeland Security, and President Donald Trump, and the European Union censors, and all the other self-appointed Speech Police that have been goose-stepping around dictating what everyone can and can’t say and publish and think all the time like a bunch of sanctimonious little fascists.
If you’re easily offended, you’ll probably want to skip this one.

There should be little doubt in anyone’s mind that the “wag the dog” relationship between the United States and Israel has done terrible damage to American institutions and constitutional liberties. The US bipartisan unconditional support of the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world which now despises America’s corrupt political system and its increasing bizarre and out of touch leadership. There were even reports this past week that Washington and Tel Aviv have been discussing shipping upwards of two million Palestinians to Sudan and Somalia, two of the most violent places on earth, to permit the development of Trump Gaza resort and the annexation of the rest of historic Palestine by Israel.

“There’s a chance to restore democracy from the bureaucracy, but just a chance.” —Elon Musk
CBS 60-Minutes’ Gaslighter-in-Chief Scott Pelley was at it again Sunday night trying to put over the story that Donald Trump had unfairly cashiered a broad swathe of federal agency Inspectors General — whose job it is to investigate crime, mischief, and administrative malfeasance. In the spotlight sat one Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel to the independent Office of Special Counsel, who just resigned after a court battle over his firing weeks ago.

“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” — George Orwell
The Deep State’s war on truth is being waged with doubletalk, delusion and propaganda.
Through deliberate manipulation of language—what George Orwell called “doublespeak”—Donald Trump has provided cover for the Deep State’s continued grip on power.
While promising to drain the swamp, his administration has instead relied on contradictory policies, misinformation, and propaganda to further entrench the very system he claims to oppose. Although the Trump administration is merely the latest frontman for the Deep State’s efforts to maintain its stranglehold on power, we are approaching a tipping point beyond which there may be no turning back to freedom as we have known it.

Is the Trump administration now working with the Anti-Defamation League?
President Trump’s demand on Tuesday to ban masks at “illegal” anti-Israel protests came just one day after Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt issued the same demand at the ADL’s “Never is Now” conference.
by Caitlin Johnstone, Caitlin Johnstone:
President Trump has made a post on Truth Social saying federal funding will be cut to universities which allow “illegal protests” on their campuses, obliquely referring to pro-Palestine demonstrations against Israel’s genocidal atrocities.
“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” Trump said. “Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!”

President Donald J. Trump has compared the United Kingdom to Communist China over demands made by their leftist government that Apple weaken its iCloud encryption and allow the state to spy on users worldwide. Trump criticized Labour Party Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, saying, “We actually told [Starmer] … that’s incredible. That’s something, you know, that you hear about with China.”
The British government demanded that Apple allow them a backdoor to get around Apple’s Advanced Data Protection system in iCloud, an optional way for users to encrypt their data. Instead of complying, Apple removed the feature for users within the United Kingdom.

Covid tyranny is a template for imposing totalitarianism. Left-wing authoritarians in China evidently created the virus, possibly as a bioweapon. Their counterparts in the West exploited it to pass out other people’s money, erode freedom, and explode the size of government. It is not surprising to see EU types think in terms of disease. In the video below, President of the European Commission Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen compares free speech to a virus against which vaccination is required:
They literally lock up people for Facebook posts, silent prayer, and grannies get police visits for telling politicians to resign….but yeah we have free speech other than that. https://t.co/P40NI55gN0

The horror … the horror.
The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA), one of the last bastions of power for vain liberal journalists who cover the White House and pretend to be staunch defenders of democratic norms, suffered quite a hit at Tuesday’s press briefing.
Subscribe to MR. RIGHT, a weekly newsletter about modern masculinity
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the administration’s press team will now determine which media outlets participate in the small, 13-member “press pool” who have access to the president in more intimate settings — not the WHCA.
from The Epoch Times:
In 1968, the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey depicted that in 2001, we’d have crewed spacecraft that can venture to Jupiter and supercomputers with artificial general intelligence. These predictions didn’t come true. In 1982, Blade Runner showcased a dystopic 2019 Earth with flying cars, advanced holographic technologies, and AI replicants nearly indistinguishable from humans. Those forecasts missed the mark. Seven years later, Back to the Future Part II envisioned a 2015 America with hoverboards, flying cars, food rehydrators, and cold fusion power generators fueled by trash. Sadly none of these innovations have arrived.

Move comes after Trump changes gulf name to ‘America’ and legacy wire service refuses to go along
The White House has announced that it is giving the AP “space” in the Oval Office and on Air Force One to others because the legacy wire service has refused to go along with President Donald Trump’s legal name change of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
And the fact that the White House under President Donald Trump said it would call out and oppose lies pushed by the media, a promise it has already kept several times.
by Daisy Luther, The Organic Prepper:
So far, in his second presidency, Donald Trump has made massive changes that have made a positive difference for Americans. The folks in North Carolina are finally (four months after Helene hit) getting the financial aid and physical assistance they need to rebuild. Armies of dump trucks, road work everywhere, and the sound of hammers hitting nails are widespread, bringing a new life to the devastated area.
