SPAIN’S KING THROWS A SPANNER IN THE LEFT’S HOPES OF RETAINING GOVERNMENT – The Spanish King Felipe IV has formally requested the opposition leader, Alberto Nunez Feijoo form a government if he can.

BIG MONEY FLEES FROM MAJOR BLUE STATES – The two biggest blue states in our Union, California and New York, have witnessed trillions of dollars of assets migrating out of their increasingly socio-fascist states and moving to American states down south.

CURRENT DEMOCRAT VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNOR RAN INTERFERENCE TO PROTECT JEFFREY EPSTEIN – Governor Albert Bryan Jr. pressured current Attorney General of Virgin Islands, Denise George, to grant Epstein a special travel restriction waver, which the AG at the time, Vincent Frazer, granted, along with numerous other special wavers.

BIDEN SUPER PAC CAN’T ACCOUNT FOR SOURCE OF $12 MILLION IN CONTRIBUTIONS – The National Legal and Policy Center filed a complaint with the FEC against Joe Biden’s favorite super PAC Future Forward. The complaint alleges the super PAC cannot account for the source of $12 million dollars. The PAC might be taking money from foreign powers.
“Joe Biden’s super PAC’s failure to fully disclose and account for millions of dollars funneled to it from uber-rich donors to its related dark money group is not only an egregious violation of FEC laws, but also hypocritical considering Biden’s public statements against such dark money groups,” said Paul Kamenar, an attorney with the watchdog group.
NYTIMES MAKES CASE AGAINST ELECTIONS FOR THE SAKE OF “DEMOCRACY” – When Leftists use the term “democracy,” they don’t actually mean democracy, they mean a top-down authoritarian police state that claims it is doing tyranny for the good of the people, to assure they are all in equity and diversity with one another.
The NY Times revealed the “democracy” scam by posting an editorial that was first titled “Elections are Bad for Democracy,” but changed it a few hours later to something else, while still keeping the sentiment of the title. Adm Grant, an anti-American psychologist at the fallen University of Pennsylvania said in the notorious article, “we might be better off eliminating elections together.”

S&P WARNS MORE MAJOR BANKS FACE CREDIT RATING CUTS – S&P Global announced plans to potentially downgrade the credit ratings of multiple U.S. banks, following the downgrading of the Associated Banc-Corp, Valley National Bancorp, UMB Financial Corp, Comerica Bank and Keycorp.

AMERICAN FIRM HOPES TO START NICKEL-COBALT MINE IN OK TO COMBAT CCP – If the Biden administration’s CCP-first, America-last attitude doesn’t get in the way of things, an American company called Westwin Elements hopes to step up mining in Oklahoma for two elements essential to battery tech, nickel and cobalt. China currently dominates this market.
The CEO, Kaleigh Long, said of the project, “Right now, the Chinese Communist Party controls critical mineral production, specifically nickel and cobalt. (This project is) a measure of welfare for our nation and others, to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Who knew you could do that with metal?”

OSU MED STUDENTS TO BE SCREENED FOR PROPER WOKENESS – Ohio State University has just announced Americans can no longer depend on the University training quality medical doctors. They announced requirements for their medical students to go through a woke indoctrination session that will demand the students parrot the anti-American, anti-human ideology of fear, hate, and fake hope. Americans can expect more medical accidents as “doctors” of the near future will only be the ones cowardly enough to comply to the dark ideology or criminally insane enough to believe it.
CALIFORNIA CHURCH WAS SPIED ON BY COUNTY USING GEO-FENCING – Calvary Chapel San Jose is alleging the county of Santa Clara used a private company to illegally track church goers using a tactic called “geo-fencing.” The church is bringing suit against the police-state-wanna-be county, alleging they used SafeGraph, a Colorado-based company that tracks users through their cell phones and builds profiles to track them.
“This operation took place over a year with seemingly no oversight, boundaries, or limitations – meaning the Defendants could track churchgoers in the sanctuary, prayer room, or bathroom,” the lawsuit states.
