There is more to Vitamin D supplements than taking a pill. Most Doctor's recommendations do not account for how the Vitamin D is used by the body.   Watch Here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz7u92mifPI  

 CPAC Hungary was held this weekend in Budapest, Hungary. The conference was attended by conservatives from though out the continent and America. The unexpected highlight of the weekend conference may have been the riveting speech by the beautiful Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Eva did not hold back in her defense of Christian Europe and the current assault by the globalist left to destroy our civilization. Our new reality in Europe consists of frequent rapes, stabbings, killings, murders, shootings, even beheadings. Dutch national disgrace, and dubbed Climate Pope, Frantz Timmermans, already stated in 2015 that diversity is humanity's destiny, and that Europe will be diverse. Imagine their leaders rejoicing in the fact that their people will soon no longer be a majority in their own country. Our establishment claims that white people are evil and that Our history is somehow fundamentally different from that of others. That's what the totalitarians in Brussels are trying to force you, t...

 There has been a recent uproar regarding an X post by one of our legislators regarding voter registration forms that were provided to a refugee in Spartanburg. The national voter registration also known as motor voter law allows for these forms to be made available in the state agencies. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 sets forth certain voter registration requirements with respect to elections for federal office. Section 5 of the NVRA requires that States offer voter registration opportunities at State motor vehicle agencies. Section 6 of the NVRA requires that States offer voter registration opportunities by mail-in application. Section 7 of the NVRA requires that States offer voter registration opportunities at certain State and local offices, including public assistance and disability offices. Section 8 of the NVRA contains requirements with respect to the administration of voter registration by States and requires States to implement procedures to maintain accurat...

A complaint was filed against US Special Counsel Jack Smith with the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility, accusing him of illegal election interference by hastening the prosecution of President Trump to affect the 2024 election. By attempting to obtain a pretrial writ of certiorari, Smith is being accused of aiming to expedite the legal proceedings against President Trump so that they impact the 2024 election. On Tuesday, Mike Davis from Article Three project gave his reaction to Stefanik's statements, saying that the Stefanik complaint against Smith alleges violations of long-standing Justice Department policy prohibiting prosecutorial decisions based on elections. In more detail about the timing, Davis said that Stefanik's letter outlines Smith's alleged interference in the 2024 election by rushing to prosecute Trump, adding that despite waiting 30 months to bring charges, Smith demanded a trial within five months, despite the case's comp...

Dozens of Hamas supporters who have been staging a campus 'occupy protest' against Israel and the United States smashed windows and stormed the building apparently unimpeded by law enforcement while hundreds more gathered outside the building to secure the entrances. Hamilton Hall has been the sight of protest actions, such as a 1985 protest calling for divestment from South Africa. Occupied: Smashing windows to secure the door with a u-lock: Doors being blocked: A couple students intervened to prevent a door being blocked by protesters. No police after two hours: The peaceful counter-protesting students were assaulted by the mob: Same chant as at GWU riot last night: The student newspaper Columbia Spectator is doing a good job posting updates: At around 1:28 a.m., protesters draped a Palestinian flag from a window on the third floor. Protesters unfurled a banner from the leftmost side of Hamilton, reading "Gaza Calls Columbia Falls," at around 1:38 a.m. From the Hami...

 Tucked away in the $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan is a $3.5 billion slush fund to open new processing centers for Muslim migrants, in what Sen. Eric Schmitt described as a bid to "Supercharge mass migration from the Middle East." Muslims pray during the "Islam on Capitol Hill 2009" event at the West Front Lawn of the US Capitol September 25, 2009, in Washington, DC. And as Breitbart points out, the $95 billion package does not include any funds to help rebuild America's border defenses against illegal migration - but it does contain $481 million to settle migrants in US cities, and of course, the $3.5 billion to expand migration programs worldwide. The $3.5 billion was granted to the Department of State, which works with many international groups that feed and transport migrants on their way to the United States. Biden's deputies are now using the refugee programs as an adjunct to their diversity-expanding "Equity"...

Last week it was reported that Washington Governor Jay Inslee has announced $45 million worth of subsidies that is going to allow "Low income" families to purchase an electric vehicle. The initiative offers families the opportunity to receive financial assistance for either leasing or purchasing electric vehicles, with up to $9,000 allocated for leasing and $5,000 for purchasing, according to Must Read Alaska. Approximately 9,000 people can benefit from the grant, with the potential for either 9,000 individuals to opt for the $5,000 deal or 5,000 individuals for the $9,000 option. "Washingtonians really get it when it comes to electric vehicles," Inslee said at a press conference last week. He expressed optimism about widespread adoption, anticipating significant participation and benefit from the program. The program has faced criticism, notably from Washington Policy Center Environmental Director Todd Myers. Myers contends that the subsidies fail to effectively cu...

Mounting research suggests a serious side effect of the covid mRNA injections could be dementia, and the prions that cause it may be contagious. Frameshifting, as we now know occurs in the covid injections, can induce prion production and lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The Global Covid Vaccine Safety Project study - funded by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention - reveals significant side effects, including myocarditis, pericarditis, and blood clots, underscoring the need for re-evaluation of covid vaccine risks and benefits. As she explained in that paper:1 A paper published by J. Bart Classen proposed that the spike protein in the mRNA vaccines could cause prion-like diseases, in part through its ability to bind to many known proteins and induce their misfolding into potential prions. In summary, the take-home from Seneff's paper is that the covid shots, offered to hundreds of millions of people, are instruct...

Far from protecting democracy from Kyiv to Washington, their role in Ukraine looks more like epic meddling resulting in political upheaval for both countries. Leveraging billions of dollars in U.S. assistance, Washington has shaped the personnel and policies of subsequent Ukrainian governments, all while expanding its military and intelligence presence in Ukraine via the CIA and NATO. During this period, Ukraine has not become an independent self-sustaining democracy, but a client state heavily dependent on European and U.S. support, which has not protected it from the ravages of war. AP. The Biden-Obama team's meddling in Ukraine has also had a boomerang effect at home. "I'm a Ukrainian who knew how Ukraine was 30 years ago, and what it became today," he says. AP. Obama, senior Pentagon official Derek Chollet recalled, was concerned that flooding Ukraine with more weapons would "Escalate the crisis" and give "Putin a pretext to go further and invade al...

 An Arizona grand jury has indicted a group of individuals on charges related to their adoption of the role of alternate electors in the 2020 Presidential election. The group included Kelli Ward, then Arizona GOP chair, who disputed the legitimacy of the election results. The Washington Post reported other indicted individuals as "Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman and Christina Bobb, top campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn and former campaign aide Mike Roman." Given the ongoing roles of Meadows, Giuliani, Eastman, Epsteyn, and Bobb in campaigning for and working with the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee it is impossible to view the new round of indictments as anything more than further banana republic-style election interference. Charles Burnham, an attorney for John Eastman, told The National Pulse on Wednesday evening: "The phenomenon of partisan lawfare grows more troubling by the d...

 Surely no one in Wuhan was trying to create an HIV vaccine, and that is presumably why Andersen and his colleagues thought Montagnier's theory was 'friggin'' unlikely and felt comfortable making lame attempts to diss the Nobel Prize laureate in their conversations. The fact of the matter is that someone was trying to create an HIV vaccine in Wuhan. As I have shown, the joint German-Chinese lab, located at Union Hospital on the left bank of the Yangtze River, is not just in Wuhan, but is also - unlike the Wuhan Institute of Virology - right in the area of the initial outbreak of Covid-19 cases in the city. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is itself an official partner in the German-Chinese virology network - and, as will be seen momentarily, key members of the network who were conducting experiments meant to facilitate the development of an HIV vaccine are based at none other than the WIV. When he first stumbled upon the HIV inserts, Luc Montagnier could not have known a...

 The Democratic Party's primary fundraising platform helped facilitate donations to the anti-Israel encampment at Michigan State University. A fundraiser organized by the Progressive Caucus of Mid Michigan on ActBlue's website helped raise donations to prop up the anti-Israel encampment. The donation page pleaded: "Support our Student Activists! Please help us feed and house our campers!" MSU protesters credited outside donations for keeping morale high at the encampment, the State News recounted. Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who refused to condemn separate Michigan protesters who chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America," touted the MSU encampment in a post to Instagram. Unlike the more chaotic and unsanctioned protest at Columbia University, the MSU Board of Trustees approved the tent encampment until April 28 after protesters first attempted to take over campus without permission on April 25. The administration urged encampment organizers...

 Education, employment, and family formation are "The building blocks for a flourishing life," says the leader of the Georgia Center for Opportunity. America's welfare system includes penalties for both work and family formation, Randy Hicks says. Although the safety net may not intend to punish work or the family, Hicks says, it does that through policies that reward Americans with financial benefits for earning less or remaining single. Among all the states, Utah has created a model for a strong welfare system, he says. Utah integrated its workforce services with welfare services in the 1990s, so when an individual seeks government assistance, the first step is to help him re-enter the workforce, if he is able, before providing monetary benefits. Around the year 2000, the federal government passed a law that made it almost impossible for states to integrate workforce and welfare services as Utah did. To change this situation, Hicks says, the Georgia Center for Opportuni...

 President Joe Biden's plans to cancel student debt for some borrowers could cost taxpayers up to $1.4 trillion, depending on how the plans are implemented, a new report estimates. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated all Biden's recent debt cancellation efforts would cost a combined $870 billion to $1.4 trillion. "The vast majority of this debt cancellation was put in place through executive actions under President Biden." The group said about $620 billion of debt cancellation has already been implemented. "Our numbers differ somewhat from our previous estimates, mainly because the President's plan to cancel $10,000 to $20,000 of student debt per person was ruled illegal by the Supreme Court and the cost of his newest plan remains uncertain," according to the report. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget noted its $870 billion to $1.4 trillion estimate was close in cost to all projected education appropriations o...

 A bombshell new study from Brown University has found that the spike protein from COVID-19 turns benign cancer cells into 'indestructible tumors'. According to the team of scientists, led by Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, the director of Brown's Legorreta Cancer Center, spike protein helps cancer cells grow and survive and resist chemotherapy. Naturalnews.com reports: El-Deiry and his colleagues observed that when cancer cells encountered spike protein subunits, it reduced the activity of p53, a protein that helps defend the body against tumors. The study also used chemotherapy drugs to activate the p53 genes, but instead of dying, the researchers found that cancer cells containing spike protein subunits displayed increased resistance to chemotherapy, a standard treatment for various types of cancers. The study examined age-adjusted mortality rates for 20 different types of cancer in Japan using official statistics on death, SARS-CoV-2 infections and vaccination rates from 2020 to 20...

 Arizona has become the first U.S. State to pass a resolution declaring the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to be "Biological and technological weapons." The Arizona GOP voted and passed the "Ban the Jab" resolution with a whopping 96% of the vote after it was submitted by Dan Schultz of PrecinctStrategy.com. The resolution calls for Gov. Katie Hobbs to make the sale and distribution of all mRNA shots in the state a criminal offence, and for the Attorney General "To immediately seize all COVID injections" and "Perform a forensic analysis on these so-called 'vaccines.'". This comes in addition to 10 Florida Republican County Parties which have already passed 'Ban the Jab' resolutions declaring COVID-19 injections biological and technological weapons. Strong and credible evidence shows Covid 19 and Covid 19 injections are biological and technological weapons, and. The Florida Department of Health has called for a halt to the mRNA injections,...

To address a dramatic increase in migrants who have crossed the Southwest border illegally from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela specifically that began in late FY 2021, the Biden administration created parole programs that allow nationals of those four countries to apply for parole without leaving home and to receive authorization to fly to, remain in, and work in the United States, despite being inadmissible to the country under federal law. As shorthand, we refer to these programs as "CHNV Parole". At the same time it rolled out CHNV Parole, the Biden administration also announced that would-be illegal migrants would be able to schedule their unlawful arrivals at Southwest border ports of entry using the CBP One Mobile App and receive parole - a policy that immigration experts now often refer to as the "CBP One App interview scheme". Unlike the CNHV program, this arrangement at the land ports of entry is not "Nationality specific", and as of Februa...

 The federal government is expected to continue restarting shuttered nuclear power plants in the coming years to meet the increasing demand for clean, dependable energy essential for powering the economy of tomorrow. "There are a couple of nuclear power plants that we probably should, and can, turn back on," Jigar Shah, director of the US Energy Department's Loan Programs Office, told Bloomberg in an interview. Shah said, "A lot of the other players that have a nuclear power plant that has recently shut down and could be turned back on are gaining that confidence to try." He declined to give specifics about which plants were slated to reopen. Nuclear power is the largest single source of carbon-free electricity. The trend is only gaining steam as the revival of nuclear power plants will continue benefiting some of the largest uranium producers, such as Cameco. Poppe told a Stanford University forum that nuclear power should continue to be part of California'...

 We could then stop extracting oil and the natural gas that's a byproduct of drilling. More than a half century later, none of us can imagine our lives without plastic and other products made from the oil refining process. We've heard the argument that we should be moving toward an economy in which we drop the fuels for transportation and power plants and drill only enough to make plastics and other products of modernity. To use crude oil to make only consumer products and asphalt is simply not economical. Royal tells us that refining oil to make only consumer products would "Throw the entire [refinery] model on its head." The entire market would have to be repriced. Presidential candidate Joe Biden guaranteed during a 2019 campaign stop that "We're going to end fossil fuel." Well, he not only hasn't ended fossil fuel, the production of gasoline, the most common product of crude and of course the most hated of all hydrocarbon fuels, has increased sin...

Representative Nancy Pelosi said Monday on MSNBC's "Katy Tur Reports" that if the Democrats win majorities in Congress and the White House, they will ditch the filibuster to legalize abortion nationwide. Pelosi said, "People have to view abortion as a democracy issue. This is about freedom to make your own decisions for a woman. It's a personal decision, it's an economic decision at the kitchen table of America's families, if and when they could expand their families or even start their families." Pelosi said, "Well, it is because the fact is that no matter what he says, there will be a national abortion ban, and that would be horrible for our country." Tur asked, "If President Biden gets reelected and there's a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate, what can President Biden do to protect abortion nationwide?". Pelosi said, "We can enshrine into the law Roe v. Wade.". She continued, "No it doesn't. It...

 We've all surely had dark thoughts that the CIA is really running the United States, including many media venues. If the intelligence community led by the CIA is not the "Deep state," what is? Deeply troubling too, since the CIA has been managing regime change the world over for a very long time, and is now directly involved in U.S. politics at the most intimate level. What about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, and Calvin Coolidge? They were all previous presidents, according to the history books that people once read. There was no CIA back then. You hear the rap that these agencies-the CIA is one but there are many adjacent others-are not allowed by law to intervene in domestic politics. We know from vast evidence and personal testimony that the CIA has been manipulating political figures, narratives, and outcomes for a very long time. How involved is the CIA in journalism today? Well, as a traditionally liberal paper, you might suppose ...

 Appearing on MSNBC, the former Speaker of the House flipped out on Katy Tur, accusing her of being an "Apologist for Donald Trump." I don't think I have to explain how ludicrous it is to accuse anyone on television's most far-left network of being a fan of the former president. Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of any president so we just have to make sure people know. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain't mine TUR: I don't think anybody can accuse me of that Katy Tur is a left-winger through and through. To suggest she's an apologist for Donald Trump is like suggesting Barack Obama is a fan of Ted Cruz. The cold hard truth is that Joe Biden's economic record is smoke and mirrors. Even Biden's "Successes" have largely been driven by the end of COVID-19, which was a self-inflicted economic downturn. A one-legged baboon could have created "Nine million jobs" given the con...

 Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, the National Cancer Institute of the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Aalborg University in Denmark, have found that vitamin D encourages the growth of a type of gut bacteria in mice which improves immunity to cancer. A separate analysis of a cancer patient population also suggested that people with higher vitamin D levels were more likely to respond well to immune-based cancer treatments. "Caetano Reis e Sousa, head of the Immunobiology Laboratory at the Crick, and senior author, said," What we've shown here came as a surprise-vitamin D can regulate the gut microbiome to favor a type of bacteria which gives mice better immunity to cancer. "This could one day be important for cancer treatment in humans, but we don't know how and why vitamin D has this effect via the microbiome. More work is needed before we can conclusively say that correcting a vitamin D deficiency has benefits for cancer prevention or treatment...

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster signed a measure that aims to help landowners use voluntary conservation easements to preserve working agricultural lands. The measure ostensibly complements the agricultural projects the bank funds by establishing a matching grant payment for qualified projects. Grant applications must meet evaluation criteria, including the land's natural resources value, the threat of non-agriculture-related development and a property's current and future commercial agricultural economic viability. "Farmers are the backbone of our state, and as more businesses and people move here, we must find innovative ways to protect our state's most valuable farmlands," McMaster, a Republican, said in an announcement. "This legislation provides farmers a cost-effective option to keep and pass down their families' farms while ensuring that our state's agriculture industry remains strong and our most precious natural resources aren't lost f...

 The NLG opposed the formation of NATO. It opposed the Truman Doctrine which committed the United States to opposing the spread of Communism. In the years since, the NLG has consistently been identified with groups that seek to overthrow the existing social order and impose a revolutionary Communist government on the citizens of the United States. NLG attorney William Kunstler wrote in 1975 that "The thing I'm most interested in is keeping people on the street who will forever alter the character of this society: the revolutionaries." A number of NLG members were connected to the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization that carried out at least 25 bombings in the United States in the 1970s. Beginning in the 1970's the NLG increasingly began to forge connections to the foreign enemies of the United States. In May 2021, the NLG's International Committee released a statement saying "The Zionist settler colonial movement with the support of imperia...

An ethics complaint has been filed against Schiff by a concerned citizen alleging that Schiff has committed election and voter fraud claiming he was both a citizen of California and Maryland. At the same time that Schiff claimed his property in Maryland was his primary residence he must have claimed that he was a resident of California in order to run for the US House in California. "Voting under fraudulent voter registrations that either use a phony name and a real or fake address or claim residence in a particular jurisdiction where the registered voter does not actually live and is not entitled to vote." A number of California residents have been convicted of voter fraud over the past few years. In 2009, around the same time as a House Ethics hearing pertaining to the Maryland residence, Adam and Eve Schiff purchased the condominium at 250 N First St #427, Burbank CA, 95102, subsequently registering to vote in California at that address. California Elections Code §2022 ...

 Democrat Climate Change Cult: Ban Everything! Ministers from the Group of Seven nations have agreed to eliminate all coal-fired power plants by 2035. It helps accelerate the shift of investments from coal to clean technology in particular in Japan and more broadly in the whole Asian coal economy, including China and India," Luca Bergamaschi, co-founding member of Italian climate change think-tank ECCO, said on X. China has the most coal-fired power plants in the world with 1,142 operational plants, and the highest installed capacity of coal power plants with 1,108.91 gigawatts. India has the second-most coal power plants, with approximately 285 active plants, and the United States has 240 active plants. " In 2022, Biden vowed to shut down all coal plants in the country. "No one is building new coal plants because they can't rely on it," Biden said on Friday in north San Diego county. Biden shutting down coal plants will impact voters in Pennsylvania, North Caro...

 Soon on the heels of President Biden last week signing into law a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine's defense, President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday indicated that he's working with Washington on a bilateral security agreement which would last ten years. "Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all." Ukrainian Presidential Press Office via AP "We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and the next 10 years." He indicated it will likely include agreements on long-term support centering on military hardware and joint arms production, as well as continuing reconstruction aid. Below is what The Wall Street Journal spelled out last year: The goal is to make sure Ukraine will be strong enough in the future to deter Russia from attacking it again. More immediately, Ukraine's Western allies hope to discourage the Kremlin from thinking it can w...

  Several hundred pro-Hamas students, angered by an attempted arrest of a protester by police, rioted at George Washington University overnight, located a few blocks west of the White House in Washington, D.C. The students tore down barricades that had blocked off an earlier attempted 'occupy' protest on campus grounds at University Yard. A Palestinian flag and keffiyeh draped on a statue of our nation's first President George Washington at the start of the protest several days ago were still desecrating America's founding father. The protest is part of an attempt to foment communist revolution in the U.S., using college campuses as a focal point, with an alliance of terrorist supporting communists and Islamists. GWU had cleared the 'occupy' protest at U-Yard several days ago and was allowing only about twenty protesters to remain. D.C. allowed the protesters to take over a city street in front of the campus area for the weekend. Like magic, dozens of tents look...

Peter Schiff now argues that the Federal Reserve and US Treasury are being forced to confront the reality that inflation is persistent, which has led to an increase in yields, recently reaching 4.7% on the 10 year, the highest since November. The thought process, for financial neophytes, is that bond traders will continue to sell bonds, driving yields up, in order to make it difficult for the Fed to cut rates - and essentially forcing the Fed to fight inflation head-on instead of capitulating to the economy and markets. Put simply, the Fed faces a dilemma: it needs to raise rates to combat inflation and make Treasuries more appealing, but higher rates would exacerbate the already burdensome debt servicing costs and threaten industries reliant on borrowing. The only way the Fed can possibly tame inflation is with interest rates so high that everything collapses. A serious implosion in commercial real estate would certainly bleed into the banking sector, beginning a chain reaction. The F...

 While we knew about the EU's 'Qatargate,' investments with the Kushner family, and of course Sen. Bob Menendez advancing Qatar's interests, Politico reports that the Biden family's ties to Qatar "Would constitute some of the closest known financial links between a relative of President Joe Biden and a foreign government," if courtroom testimony about Jim Biden's foreign fundraising efforts is substantiated. "My family could provide a wealth of introductions and business opportunities at the highest levels that I believe would be worthy of the interest of His Excellency," Jim Biden and Rustom wrote in a draft letter to an official at the Qatari sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority. In February of this year, Jim Biden told impeachment inquiry investigators that roughly $600,000 in payments from Americore were for his role in arranging a series of bridge loans - of which $200,000 was transferred to Joe Biden in March 2018 for w...

 The former U.S. Comptroller General said Congress' failure to address the federal debt burden was "Irresponsible." David Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States and a member of the Main Street Economics Advisory Board, said recent economic data should prompt lawmakers to take action before the debt problem gets worse. Walker said the reports won't make reducing unsustainable growth in federal debt any easier. "It's time for Washington to stop the rhetoric, get to work on resolving the national debt, and show the voters some results," he said. The International Monetary Fund warned the United States that government spending and increasing national debt are not sustainable and could hurt the global economy. "Amid mounting debt, now is the time to bring back sustainable public finances," according to the latest IMF Fiscal Monitor report. The debt warning follows several other high-profile calls to address growing U.S. debt.  https...

Having grown up in a privileged home in Canada, she is able to give some personal insight into how these people think. Last Sunday's 'Demonic Flooding of America' was so popular, this is its companion piece, a fleshed-out examination of the Head of the Snake; the cabal that is behind the Great Reset, the Covid and Global Warming hoaxes, and every profit-bonanza-war of the last thirty, if not 500 years, but especially Ukraine. How did they get so cruel? How can these men and women, their heirs, bent on forcing the Great Reset, imprisoning everyone in 15-minute cities, chipped, monitored, and fed chemical stew, justify themselves? How did the top run of health professionals see covid for what it was, as they had to, and yet go along with the vaccines, knowing, as we now know they knew, how dangerous, how lethal they are? It is impossible to view Edward Dowd's latest disability figures, look at his projections of illness and death down the line and not think this was a del...

Electric battery bus service in the Antelope Valley was abruptly suspended this week, causing a transit nightmare for commuters looking to get to work, school, doctors' appointments and more. All transportation services using the Antelope Valley Transit Authority's fleet of MCI D45 battery-electric commuter coaches were halted on Tuesday "Out of an abundance of caution and for reasons outside of AVTA's control," officials stated. Long-awaited hate crime trial begins in Orange County At least four critical commuter lines were affected by the suspension, including services to downtown Los Angeles, Century City, the San Fernando Valley and the TRANSporter service to Newhall. The suspension does not affect AVTA's local service or the agency's use of any BYD zero-emission battery electric buses, transport officials said.

In a field rife with bad, worse, still worse, and even dangerously incompetent work, I don't know if I've ever seen anything as shockingly inept as the Report just out from the International Energy Agency with the title "Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions." The Report has a date only specified to the month of "April 2024," but the press release came out just two days ago on April 25. Are you familiar with the International Energy Agency? It is not part of the UN, but rather a separate consortium currently of some 40 countries, mostly Western and mostly rich, founded in the wake of the oil shocks of the 1970s with a then-goal of promoting energy security. The thesis of the Report is that batteries, and particularly lithium ion batteries, are the key to the impending energy transition, and need to be scaled up massively and immediately with whatever amount of government subsidies and handouts that it takes. Those include: Quantitatively, how much energy s...

A popular TikTok influencer has confessed that the Biden regime paid her taxpayer dollars to spread U.S. government propaganda to the masses. According to Farha Khalidi, she was paid by the Biden White House to spread woke identity politics and shill for his far-left policies. Infowars.com reports: "The funny thing is, they were like, 'Do not disclose this is an ad', because they're like, 'Technically it's not a product so you don't have to disclose it's an ad', because I think they just wanted some like edgy girl of color to just tell people." "Like when they nominated Ketanji Brown-Jackson they were like, 'Can you say, like, as a person of color, you feel reflected?' It's like a white woman emailing this to me. And she was like giving me this script and I'm like, 'No.'". "And she's like, 'Please?' And I'm like, 'No. I'll talk about the news of it, but I'm not going to have a w...

 It's the key to what is happening now on campus with the attacks on Jews and anyone else who isn't a terrorist sympathizer, and it's what is going to get people killed. Democrats just hope the people killed are on "Their side," as they are more than willing to sacrifice a few young people for the "Greater good." Democrats need disorder, they need ignorant people in an emotional frenzy, lest they think rationally and realize the root of the problems in their lives that are external - gas, food and energy costs, for example - are a direct result of the policies of the Democratic Party. The left needs people worked up like that because you can get them to do almost anything. If you believe a group of people are going to deliberately kill 10,000 people per year, and you're insane, you can delude yourself into believing you HAVE to act. What Democrats on the radical left are now pushing about Israel and Jews is going to get someone killed. Individuals ha...

 Immigration officers in the agency's Enforcement and Removal Operations branch don't have that option - immigration enforcement is all ERO does - and instead are, in my estimation, thumbing their noses at their newly cleansed and liberated comrades, with the ERO head vowing not to "Be swayed by political theater or media rhetoric". In 2018, 19 HSI special agents in charge sent an undated letter to then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, asking her "To restructure ICE into the two separate, independent entities of HSI and ERO". The current acting ICE director was among the SACs who signed that letter, as "P.J. Lechleitner", but he did not - and could not - restructure the agency as he and the other SACs requested when he took acting command of the agency in June 2023, nor did he immediately initiate an HSI rebranding. The plain implication is that HSI leadership and Lechleitner are hamming it up in said political theater and are kowtowing to those who...

 Chinese nationals are crossing America's southern border at a rapid rate. On Wednesday alone, the U.S. Border Patrol encountered 206 Chinese nationals crossing into the San Diego sector, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported. In January, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported over 3,700 encounters with Chinese nationals on the southern border, nearly all in the San Diego sector. Back up to January 2021, when Joe Biden became president, and CBP encountered only 17 Chinese nationals at the southern border. To find out why so many Chinese nationals are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in the San Diego sector, The Daily Signal spoke to Scott as well as to Derek Maltz, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and to Michael Cunningham, a research fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Asian Studies Center. The former Border Patrol chief pointed to reports that Chinese nationals are "Systematically coming into the United States and buying property,...

 When it comes to immigration, one thing is clear: Americans overwhelmingly favor building a border wall and strongly enforcing existing immigration laws, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. "Since President Biden took office in 2021, immigration rules have been loosened, allowing for the entry of 5 million undocumented immigrants from around the world, according to the government's own count. How would you address the immigration issue?". That was No. 2, chosen by 42%. No. 1, which similarly called for a crackdown on border crossings and a border wall but didn't include deportation as a possibility, garnered 16% of all responses. That's a 58% majority favoring at minimum a wall and more border enforcement, and a plurality of 42% favoring deportations to go along with the increased border controls. Democrats were more likely than Republicans to choose the two least-restrictive options: the "Open border" option No. 4, and the "Tighten somewhat, but n...

 Joe Biden could barely eat his dinner at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. In any case, Treasury bond issuance in 2024 is expected to hit $1.9 TRILLION. Surpassing levels seen even during the 2008 financial crisis. With Biden and Congress spending like drunken sailors on shore leave, and no end in sight, this will eventually explode. The leading foreign holder of US debt is Japan, which is following the insane path as the US and resembles a banana republic. Maybe it is because House "Majority" Leader Mike Johnson gave Biden and Schumer everything they wanted. Life is good when you are stupid and mean-spiritied like Joe Biden! Biden is so vain: capped teeth, hair plugs, constant tan, face lifts, etc. https://confoundedinterest.net/2024/04/29/us-treasury-bond-issue-set-to-increase-to-1-9-trillion-in-2024-as-personal-saving-rate-crashes-to-near-low-since-2010-goverment-displacing-households/

 Scandal-plagued Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was nowhere to be seen Sunday during the first Democrat Party debate as she tries to win re-election. Willis has courted controversy while prosecuting the county's election interference case against Donald Trump as it was revealed she had a past relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. 'When you pay one attorney nearly $1million to handle one case, that leaves the rest of us vulnerable, that hurts everyone in Fulton County. Wade fronted the team of lawyers Willis assembled to prosecute the case since the previous president and 18 others were indicted in August, but their relationship led to concerns the couple could pursue financial gain through the proceedings. Anthony Michael Kreis, a Georgia State University law professor who's been following the case, criticized her comments in a post on X. 'If I were Fani Willis, I would simply not talk to the media at all at this point just out of an abundance o...

 U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has asked former President Donald Trump's lawyers about whether they challenged special counsel Jack Smith's authority to bring charges against the president. During the hearing, Justice Thomas asked John Sauer, the attorney who represented President Trump in court, "Did you, in this litigation, challenge the appointment of special counsel?" Mr. Smith was appointed to the case by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing President Trump's immunity case as part of Mr. Smith's indictment of the former president alleging an attempt to subvert the transfer of presidential power following the 2020 election. President Trump is charged with four criminal counts in the case. President Trump had requested that the lower courts back his claims of presidential immunity, as the actions were undertaken while he was serving as president. After the lower courts refused to grant the request, the 45th presid...

 During Thursday's deliberations at the U.S. Supreme Court on former President Donald Trump's immunity claim, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh warned that a decision in the case has future implications for whether future presidents are shielded from vicious cycles of malicious prosecution that could effectively end the presidency as we know it. Justice Kavanaugh said that when presidents are subject to prosecution, history shows that it's not going to stop. "It's going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president ... and the next president and the next president after that." Justice Neil Gorsuch, who said that the court is "Writing a rule for the ages," along with Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Kavanaugh all said that their concern was not so much the case against President Trump, but rather the effect of the ruling on future presidencies. Justice Kavanaugh expressed concern about the future implications of the...

 The House voted 366-58 on Saturday to send $9.1 billion to Gaza, and that means $9.1 billion to Hamas. The bill "Calls for the Secretary of State to establish oversight measures to ensure that the aid is not diverted by Hamas," but really, what can he possibly do short of establishing an American military presence in Gaza? Hamas controls Gaza. There is no force in Gaza that is strong enough to stand up to Hamas. So provisos written into legislation drafted and passed in faraway Washington, D.C. is one thing, but the reality on the ground in Gaza is something else altogether, and the Biden regime must know that. Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America, stated it plainly: "Biden and this administration knows that almost all of it," that is, the aid, "Is stolen by Hamas." That leads to an inescapable conclusion: "We are funding Hamas. Do you realize the nightmare of this? We are funding Hamas with this 9 billion. What is wrong wit...

 Among the documents unsealed were extensive exhibits, motions, and other filings shedding light on the intricate web of communication between the Biden White House and the National Archives and Records Administration in the lead-up to Trump's indictment. The first things is testimony from an FBI agent who testified that the General Services Association had been in possession of Trump's boxes in Virginia before ordering Trump's team to come get them. This development is significant because Trump has previously blamed the GSA for packing the boxes that contained the classified documents, only to later accuse Trump of essentially stealing them and using that as pretext for sending the FBI to raid his Mar-a-Lago home in August 2022. Joe Biden had classified information that he was never entitled to have stored in boxes in his garage for years, but was not charged. While this may not prove the Biden administration set up Trump in the classified documents case, considering the w...

 Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday pressed House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan on the lack of headway in House Republicans' investigations into President Biden and other political figures. Bartiromo and Jordan were discussing the Judiciary Committee's latest report that alleges the New York County District Attorney's Office's hush money probe into former President Trump is "Political prosecution." "Well, look, I mean, at this point, American citizens are asking, what can you do about it? I mean, look, with all due respect, people are sick and tired of congressional investigations that go nowhere. People are sick and tired of letters being written and sent to the people who we know are bad in the first place," Bartiromo said Sunday on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures." Jordan lamented his frustrations about the former president's other legal battles in Washington, D.C., for his federal election interference case, and...

A lawmaker in California introduced a bill that would ban teachers from being able to assign students an excessive amount of homework. California State Assembly member Pilar Schiavo introduced The Healthy Homework Act, also known as AB 2999, in February, noting in an interview with Fox40 that it would have a "Huge impact" on the students. Under AB 2999, educational agencies, local school board officials, and school administration officials would need to "Develop, adopt, and update" homework policies "At least once every five years," and take into account research available regarding the impacts of homework on students' physical and mental health. Educational agencies, school board, and school administration officials would also need to take into account the reasonable amount of time that students should spend on homework and take into account learning disabilities and how some students might lack "Access to the internet, computers, and learning to...

 Police arrested Green Party candidate Jill Stein on Saturday during a Gaza war protest at Washington University in St. Louis. "Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, campaign manager Jason Call, and deputy campaign manager Kelly Merrill-Cayer were arrested alongside approximately 100 others - mostly Washington University students - at an encampment set up on Saturday on the university grounds," Stein's campaign tweeted. "The demand from the encampment was specifically for the university to divest from Boeing, which manufactures munitions used in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza at their nearby St. Charles [Missouri] facility. The Stein campaign supports the demands of the students and their peaceful protest and assembly on campus. Student protest for peace and civil liberties has always represented the best part of our collective moral conscience. Solidarity." According to the university, the protest had the "Potential...

 The troubled Philadelphia-based Republic First Bank has imploded, with federal regulators seizing it and arranging for it to be taken over by fellow regional lender Fulton Financial, in the first bank failure of 2024. To protect people with savings at Republic Bank, the FDIC entered into an agreement with Fulton Financial to assume the deposits and assets of the failed bank. "This evening and over the weekend, depositors of Republic Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on Republic Bank will continue to be processed and loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual," the FDIC said in a statement. People with savings at Republic Bank don't need to change their banking relationship to continue to have their money covered by the FDIC's deposit insurance guarantee. Republic's collapse was the first bank failure of 2024; the previous collapse was Citizens Bank, in Sac City, Iowa, on Nov. 3, 2023. It...

Without a lot of effort, you can do some amazing analyses that prove to anyone who still has critical thinking skills that the COVID vaccines are CAUSING serious side effects. If you are looking at the COVID vaccines, which are claimed to be super safe, the plot of the onset time over time since the shot have to track each others shape within the statistical margin of error since they are both simply reporting the background uncorrelated event. DVTs, a life threatening condition, are not a side effect of the COVID vaccines according to every mainstream health authority in the world. As you can see, the COVID vaccine type has a vastly different temporal response curve than the other vaccine types, despite the fact that, for example, the flu shot is given to 6 times more people than the COVID shot has been delivered. Only one public health official in the world, Dr. Joe Ladapo, is courageous enough to speak the truth about the dangers of these vaccines. It's so obvious the harms caus...
