Airman Sets Himself on Fire to Support Hamas

A U.S. Air Force airman set himself on fire outside of the Israeli Embassy in New York City in support of Hamas. The airman, 25-year-old Aaron Bushnell, livestreamed his suicide in support of Hamas on Twitch.

Excerpt:

An active-duty U.S. Air Force member who live-streamed himself protesting the Israel-Hamas war by setting himself on fire outside an Israeli Embassy on Sunday, is dead, a U.S. official confirmed to NBC News.

He was identified as 25-year-old Aaron Bushnell, of San Antonio, Texas, by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) on Monday…

While streaming himself live on Twitch, he stated that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” before dousing himself in accelerant and setting himself ablaze around 1 p.m. on Sunday.

As he became engulfed in flames, Bushnell repeatedly yelled “Free Palestine” before falling to the ground and appearing to be in great pain.

(News recap from 12a February 21 to 12a February 23)

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the Lord to Zion. Isaiah 52:7-8

TOP STORIES

ENGORON WANTS TRUMP’S ASSETS NOW – Lawfare Assassin and DNC-CCP revolutionary activist “Judge” Arthur Engoron has denied Donald J Trump’s request for a 30-day stay on his nearly half a billion fine for committing fraud without a victim. The move was not unexpected, but it further lays bare the absolute lawlessness of the party this seditious Judge represents, the DNC-CCP, frenemy to America’s enemies.

MICHIGAN SCHOOL BOARD WARNS HOMESCHOOL LISTS ARE INTENDED TO END HOMESCHOOLING – Michigan’s State Board of Education pushed back against the anti-American party’s push to create a database of homeschool parents, warning that the process could open the door for warrantless searches of homeschool families.

The anti-American party, the DNC-CCP, is pushing forward with its plans to create the homeschool database, claiming they’re infringing on the rights of Americans to “save the children,” the usual tactic that ironically comes from the party of death that advocates murdering children up to and soon after birth.

MEXICO’S LEFT COLLUDES WITH AMERICA’S LEFT TO CLAMP DOWN ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION UNTIL ELECTIONS ARE OVER – With both Mexico and the United States facing elections for the top offices in their land, the American left and the Mexican left have forged an agreement to assure illegal immigration into the U.S. is limited until their elections are over.

Mexico has an election for their top spot, President, in June while the Democrats in America face an election in November.

MEGA-CORPS ABANDON UN CLIMATE PLAN – JPMorgan, BlackRock, and State Street Global Advisors have pulled out of the United Nations Climate Alliance as it becomes increasingly aware that customers aren’t interested in the draconian, sovereignty-killing plans of the UN to allegedly “save the planet” and the “remedies” would destroy the businesses that the plan relies on to come to fruition.

JPMorgan stated, “The firm has built a team of 40 dedicated sustainable investing professionals, including investment stewardship specialists who also leverage one of the largest buy side research teams in the industry. Given these strengths and the evolution of its own stewardship capabilities, JPMAM has determined that it will no longer participate in Climate Action 100+ engagements.”

GOOGLE’S AI TURNS WHITE HISTORY BLACK – Google’s AI imaging tool Gemini revealed the “woke” nature of its programming when it began to produce images of historic white figures as being anything but white.

Even Nazis were POC-washed by the “woke” machine, which Google has now taken offline to “correct” the natural consequence of the cancerous ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope, the ideology of the DNC-CCP that holds to the lie that white people invented evil, the ideology often referred to as “woke.”

FED WON’T BE CUTTING INTERESTS RATES ANYTIME SOON – Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy committee meeting reveal there are no plans to cut interest rates in the near future.

Jerome Powell, in the meeting, suggested “We will need to see continuing evidence to build confidence that inflation is moving down sustainably to our goal.” The current Fed Rate at 5.25% -5.5% is the highest it’s been in 23 years, a rate that has remained unchanged since July of 2023.

TRENDING

TEXAS BUILDING MILITARY BASE ON THE BORDER – Governor Greg Abbot has announced plans to build a “forward operating base” to help the Texas National Guard, whom the governor says are “responding to President Joe Biden’s border crisis.”

Abbot said of the decision, “Texas is expanding our border security capabilities by building a new Texas Military Department base camp to increase and improve border security operations in this area. This will increase the ability for a larger number of Texas Military Department soldiers in Eagle Pass to operate more effectively and efficiently.”

MORE PEOPLE HAVE ENTERED THE U.S. ILLEGALLY UNDER BIDEN THAN LIVE IN 36 STATES – A Fox News study claims that 7.3 million people have entered the U.S. illegally, which is enough to fill the current population levels of 36 U.S. states combined. Last year was a record year that saw over 2.4 million people entering the U.S. illegally.

NATO Sends Message to Russia with War Games on Polish-Russian Border

NATO SENDS MESSAGE TO RUSSIA WITH WAR GAMES ON POLISH-RUSSIAN BORDER – NATO has begun war game exercises along the Polish-Russian border in a move that seems intended to send Russia a warning should it have ambitions to invade Poland. 10,000 U.S. troops are involved in the ongoing drills.

KNESSET SAYS NO TO TWO-STATE SOLUTION – The Israeli Knesset spoke almost with one voice in a vote to reject any “unilateral Palestinian state-building” efforts, with 99 members voting for the measure and only 9 voting against it.

Netanyahu said of the vote, “The Knesset united against the attempt to dictate to us the establishment of a Palestinian State, a dictate which would not only bring peace but would endanger the State of Israel.”

U.S. POLITICS

BIDEN’S MONEY PEOPLE ALSO FUNDING HALEY – Nikki Haley’s campaign at this point is mostly being supported by 5,200 wealthy Democrats who hope to defeat Trump in the GOP primary, knowing full well a Haley candidacy will lose to the Democrat since she is effectively running as one. 1,600 of these Democrats gave Haley over half a million dollars in January of this year alone.

That point is brought through by this quote from one of her biggest Democrat “supporters,” LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman, who said, “While I am a staunch supporter of Biden and hope he will win a second term, I also provided financial support to Nikki Haley’s super PAC [because] my first priority is to defeat Trump, and the [Republican] primary is the first of two chances to do so.”

AFTER SEEING “RECEIPTS,” BIDEN’S BROTHER FLIPS STORY – Joe Biden’s literal brother in crime, James Biden, has denied his brother had anything to do with their bilking foreign powers for millions in exchange for Joe’s “influence.” He stated his brother “never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest.”

He changed his tune when the House Oversight Committee provided records that show Joe WAS involved in his business dealings with foreign powers.

Cox Communications Gets $1 Billion Reprieve from 4th Circuit

COX COMMUNICATIONS GETS $1 BILLION REPRIEVE FROM 4TH CIRCUIT – In 2019, a Virginia Jury awarded record companies $1 billion after finding Cox Communications’ customers guilty of committing 10,000 copyright violations. The ruling was overturned by the 4th Circuit Federal Appeals Court, which said the award was excessive and warranted a new trial to determine what the right amount should be.

SONY TO SELL DISNEY DVDS – Disney announced plans to sell off a part of its media empire to Sony Pictures Entertainment. Disney will be selling Disney’s Home Entertainment Media, the department in charge of distributing Disney’s physical media, to Sony, which will effectively become their physical media distributor.

RIGHTS WATCH

AMAZON, TRADER JOE’S, AND SPACEX CHALLENGE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF LABOR BOARD – So far, three major corporations have joined forces in filing a challenge to the way the National Labor Relations Board determines violations of law, arguing the board’s power to impose penalties without a jury trial denies them their basic right to due process. Amazon is the latest to join the fight, which includes Trader Joe’s and SpaceX.

CALIFORNIA WANTS TO TURN HOME INSURERS INTO GUN SNITCHES – The Progmericans (which are no Americans at all) of California are at it again in their effort to micro-manage the lives of the masses. This time, they’re hoping to create a new law that will require home insurance providers to ask homeowners and renters about their potential gun ownership.

The fascists of California want to use private corporations to violate our constitutional rights. They will force them to do it in the name of saving children, or so they claim. They want a database of gun owners so they know where they live and what kind of “threat” they might pose to the police state fantasies these fanatics are living out.

NY LOSES ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE THANKS TO ENGORON RULING – The Lawfare assault on former President Donald J Trump that is the NY Fraud trial produced a draconian verdict that is sending shockwaves throughout the billionaire class in NY, with former Shark Tank star and current billionaire Kevin O’Leary joining a growing list of wealthy people who are pledging to keep their business out of the state.

It seems when you assault a man for political reasons using lawfare as a means to illegally confiscate his wealth, the wealthy get nervous that the kind of power you’re creating doesn’t offer them the security that the old American model afforded them. Perhaps competition IS better than state protection, after all.

BIG TECH LOSES 3K WOKE STAFFERS IN DECEMBER 2023 – In just one month, major tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Meta have let go over 3,000 “ESG” Employees, political activist governors that work much like trade union bosses in the “new fascism” of the Progmerican Left.

It seems the backlash against the hateful, anti-American, anti-human ideology is only building, and now even Big Tech cannot ignore the rising resistance to the cult of woke.

Cox Communications Gets  Billion Reprieve from 4th Circuit

Cox Communications, the cable television and internet service provider, convinced a U.S. appeals court to throw out a $1 billion jury verdict in favor of several major record labels that had accused it of failing to curb user piracy, setting the stage for a new trial on the matter.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, ruled on Tuesday that the amount of damages was not justified and that a federal district court should hold a new trial to determine the appropriate amount.

After Seeing “Receipts,” Biden’s Brother Flips on Story

Joe Biden’s literal brother in crime, James Biden, has denied his brother had anything to do with their bilking foreign powers for millions in exchange for Joe’s “influence.” He stated his brother “never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest.”

He changed his tune when the House Oversight Committee provided records that show Joe WAS involved in his business dealings with foreign powers.

James Biden ‘Contradicted’ Own Stories Of Biden Corruption – thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

James Biden opened his closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee this week by claiming his older brother President Joe Biden “never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest” in any of his 50 years of business deals.

“In every business venture in which I have been involved, I have relied on my own talent, judgment, skill, and personal relationships — and never my status as Joe Biden’s brother. Those who have said or thought otherwise were either mistake, ill-informed, or flat-out lying,” James Biden said on Wednesday.

The younger Biden brother also denied participating in a foreign business deal with Hunter Biden and several other Biden family associates. When House investigators showed him his signature on a related business agreement, James Biden claimed ignorance.

Copious evidence including WhatsApp messages, emails, bank records, documents, and the testimonies of former Biden business associates show James Biden was not only a key player in the Biden family’s international influence-peddling scheme, but so was Joe Biden.

The minutes of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy committee meetings are always revealed late. And when the economy is, as it is now, at a turning point, a three-week drag can be a long time. With that caveat, the minutes from its January 30-31 meeting confirm the message already delivered by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell: rates have peaked, their next move will be down, but that is not imminent. Add to each of these statements the adverb “foreseeably”.

Powell usually gives a good summary of the meetings, but their minutes add valuable nuance. On this occasion, most of the Fed’s message sounds familiar, but the minutes include an explicit warning against rushing too quickly into rate cuts: “Some participants noted the risk that progress toward price stability could stall, particularly if aggregate demand strengthened or supply side healing slowed more than expected. Participants highlighted the uncertainty associated with how long a restrictive monetary policy stance would need to be maintained. Most participants noted the risks of moving too quickly to ease the stance of policy and emphasized the importance of carefully assessing incoming data in judging whether inflation is moving down sustainably to 2%. A couple of participants, however, pointed to downside risks to the economy associated with maintaining an overly restrictive stance for too long.”

Google’s AI Turns White History Black

Google’s AI imaging tool Gemini revealed the “woke” nature of its programming when it began to produce images of historic white figures as being anything but white.

Even Nazis were POC-washed by the “woke” machine, which Google has now taken offline to “correct” the natural consequence of the cancerous ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope, the ideology of the DNC-CCP that holds to the lie that white people invented evil, the ideology often referred to as “woke.”

Google AI refuses to show white people – americanmilitarynews.com

Excerpt:

Users slammed Google’s artificial intelligence tool, known as Gemini, as “woke” after it refused to show images of white people and created historically inaccurate images in the name of diversity. In response to the issue, Google announced the company is pausing the Gemini artificial intelligence image generation feature.

According to The New York Post, some examples of the artificial intelligence tool’s inaccurate creations when asked to generate images included a black man representing George Washington and an Asian woman dressed as the pope. The Verge reported another example of Google’s inaccurate artificial intelligence tool was discovered when it generated Asian and black Nazi soldiers from 1943.

Multiple social media users reported issues with Google’s artificial intelligence tool. One user shared inaccurate photos that were generated with the software in response to various prompts. The images featured black Vikings, black and Asian founding fathers, and “diverse” popes.

“We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions,” Google announced Wednesday.

Mega-Corps Abandon UN Climate Plan

JPMorgan, BlackRock, and State Street Global Advisors have pulled out of the United Nations Climate Alliance as it becomes increasingly aware that customers aren’t interested in the draconian, sovereignty-killing plans of the UN to allegedly “save the planet” and the “remedies” would destroy the businesses that the plan relies on to come to fruition.

JPMorgan stated, “The firm has built a team of 40 dedicated sustainable investing professionals, including investment stewardship specialists who also leverage one of the largest buy side research teams in the industry. Given these strengths and the evolution of its own stewardship capabilities, JPMAM has determined that it will no longer participate in Climate Action 100+ engagements.”

JPMorgan, BlackRock drop out of massive UN climate alliance in stunning move – nypost.com

Excerpt:

JPMorgan Chase and institutional investors BlackRock and State Street Global Advisors announced Thursday that they are quitting or, in the case of BlackRock, substantially scaling back involvement in a massive United Nations climate alliance formed to combat global warming through corporate sustainability agreements.

In a statement, the New York-based Jamie Dimon’s JPMorgan explained that it would exit the so-called Climate Action 100+ investor group because of the expansion of its in-house sustainability team and the establishment of its climate risk framework in recent years.

Larry Fink’s BlackRock and State Street, which both manage trillions of dollars in assets, said the alliance’s climate initiatives had gone too far, expressing concern about potential legal issues as well.

The stunning announcements come as the largest financial institutions in the US and worldwide face an onslaught of pressure from consumer advocates and Republican states over their environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities.

Mexico’s Left Colludes with America’s Left to Clamp Down on Illegal Immigration Until Elections Are Over

With both Mexico and the United States facing elections for the top offices in their land, the American left and the Mexican left have forged an agreement to assure illegal immigration into the U.S. is limited until their elections are over.

Mexico has an election for their top spot, President, in June while the Democrats in America face an election in November.

Biden’s Secret Border Deal with Mexico Could Leave Border Open for Years – www.breitbart.com

Excerpt:

Mexico and the United States will hold presidential elections within the same calendar year for the first time in more than two decades. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s willingness to crack down on migrant crossings may have more to do with securing an election victory for U.S. President Joe Biden and his own ruling Morena political party than securing the border. A temporary pause in migration designed to ensure a November win for the Democrats in the United States and a June win for AMLO’s Morena party candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, could keep the border wide open for years to come.

A 2024 win for both Sheinbaum and President Biden in the near-simultaneous elections would also benefit Mexico’s violent cartels, who profit from the lax national security posture present in both countries. A victory for Sheinbaum, who shares AMLO’s stance on dealing with Mexican cartels with “hugs, not bullets,” will likely spell a continuation of the cartel’s ability to continue flooding the United States with fentanyl and other narcotics if paired with a Biden victory…

The effects of the under-the-radar Biden/AMLO border plan have been visible in Texas border cities. According to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, apprehensions along the Texas border have dropped by 60 percent between December and February. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the sudden reduction in migrant crossings along the Texas-Mexico border began shortly after a series of meetings between Biden and AMLO in late December, followed by a meeting between the Mexican President and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas shortly afterward.

Michigan School Board Warns Homeschool Lists Are Intended to End Homeschooling

Michigan’s State Board of Education pushed back against the anti-American party’s push to create a database of homeschool parents, warning that the process could open the door for warrantless searches of homeschool families.

The anti-American party, the DNC-CCP, is pushing forward with its plans to create the homeschool database, claiming they’re infringing on the rights of Americans to “save the children,” the usual tactic that ironically comes from the party of death that advocates murdering children up to and soon after birth.

Michigan State Board Members Warn State Homeschool Registration List is a Precursor to “Unwarranted Home Entry” | The Gateway Pundit – www.thegatewaypundit.com

Excerpt:

The State Board of Education in Michigan meeting on Feb 13th, 2024 raised concerns about registration lists for homeschooled parents…

On February 13th, the Michigan State Board of Education met for their monthly meeting.  Towards the end of the meeting, prior to closing, Board Member Tom McMillin of Oakland Township added his comments regarding a push to require registration requirements for homeschooling.

McMillin’s issue with creating a registration has been a contentious subject in Michigan dating back to at least 2015.  However, recently the proposed “list” idea has thrust itself back into the spotlight after a case in Clinton County, where two couples are accused of adopting “nearly 30 children, some of whom the [couples] are accused of abusing.”

In response to the case, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in an X post that “implementing monitoring mechanisms is crucial to ensure that all children, including those homeschooled, receive necessary protections.”  McMillin believes that “a mere registration, a list of people…will not help prevent what AG Nessel is talking about.”  He believes the list is nothing more than a pathway to monitoring and said that Nessel is “saying the quiet part out loud”:

“She basically said we want this list so we can have…warrantless home entry into this particular targeted group…but we have a legal system that says you have to have a warrant before you go in.

However, because of this one instance, some in the state want to be able to barge in and bust the door down….It’s not hyperbolic.  If they knock on the door and they say “no, I don’t want you to come in”…and there’s all kinds of reasons not to have them in…there’s a book called “Three Felonies a Day”…if the government wants to get you, there going to find something.  Without a warrant, they shouldn’t be coming into your house.

I just think…it’s going to go beyond registration.  They’re either naive or they’re being disingenous for anybody to say ‘all we want to do is have a list.’  It’s going to go significantly further than that.  They’re going to either want to know exactly what’s being taught or they’re going to want entry into the houses.  And so I think that this is a real problem.  I guess I just wish that the debate would be sincere.

…anyone with half a brain realizes it doesn’t stop there.”
