TOP STORIES

SOCIAL JUSTICE SCHOOLS FAILING AMERICAN KIDS – More and more studies are coming out that reveal the academic plunge students took during the plandemic is not getting any better. In fact, it might be getting worse. During the plandemic, 50 percent of students were a full grade behind in at least one academic subject. Now, the number is reported to be 49 percent. While leftist academics (who run these studies) continue to blame the lingering effects of the plandemic, others believe it is the psychological terrorism being inflicted on the students in the name of “social justice” that is causing the harm, and will continue to do so going forward.

ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR COVERAGE PRODUCING RISE IN HATRED OF BOTH SIDES – In Europe and America, antisemitism and “Islamophobia” are on the rise, and the same media identifying this disturbing trend are also the ones behind the rise, with leftist ideologies pushing the world towards greater and greater hatred against their neighbors rather than the ones, the elites who own or control these media outlets, who caused it in the first place. GO DEEPER
WHITE HOUSE MOVES TO MOLD A.I IN ITS ANTI-AMERICAN IMAGE – The Biden White House will use the King’s decree, an Executive Order, to attempt to mold AI in its dark, anti-American, anti-human image, announcing plans to create a sweeping executive order that will bypass the legislative process, giving, ostensibly, a demented old man the power to dictate to the country the terms of its AI use.
The order is justified by White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, who reveals his anti-Americanism in his very speech. He said “Given the pace of this technology, we can’t move in normal government or private-sector pace, we have to move fast, really fast – ideally faster than the technology itself. You have to continue to be proactive, anticipate where things are headed, continue to act fast and pull every lever we can.” GO DEEPER
CEASE-FIRE CALLS ARE SURRENDER CALLS TO NETANYAHU – With more and more countries and organizations, including the antisemitic UN, calling on Israel to call an immediate cease-fire in its war against Hamas, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, is calling such pleas a call for Israel to surrender. He said, “calls for a cease-fire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas.”
NO MORE ELECTRIC CAR BATTERY FIRES? – Researchers from the University of Maryland have a new theory that could end lithium-battery fires and increase the power they produce significantly. They presented their findings in the journal Nature. They believe they can suppress the growth of lithium dendrites, which not only causes the fires but also limits the power these batteries can deliver.

AUTOWORKERS STRIKE NEARING AN END? – GM, Ford, and Stellantis are all reporting tentative agreements with the UAW that could end the autoworkers strike. No final agreements have yet been signed, but both sides seem highly confident that’s just a matter of formality as the UAW allegedly has been awarded record concessions that could change the whole labor market landscape.
DID WE FIND NOAH’S ARK? – Scientists from three Turkish and American universities claim to have found the remnants of the Ark described in the book Genesis, also known as “Noah’s ark.” They date the finds from a large boat-shaped mound found in Turkey’s eastern mountain region to around 5,500 to 3,000 BC.
“It is known that the event of Prophet Noah’s flood dates back approximately 5,000 years from today. In terms of dating, it is stated that there was human activity in this region. This was revealed in the laboratory results. However, with the dating, it is not possible to definitively say that the ship was here,” Prof. Dr. Faruk Kaya, the Vice Rector of Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University said of the find.

CALIFORNIA LAW FORCES VENTURE CAPITALIST FIRMS TO ALIGN WITH DNC IDEOLOGY – In a move right out of the fascist playbook, the seditionist state of California has passed a law, signed by CCP-friendly Gavin Newsome, that will force Venture Capital firms to report on their “diversity” in an effort to assure even capital investment is controlled by the Democratic Party.
It’s a de facto form of trade unionism where private enterprise was made a de facto state enterprise reflective of the state’s ideals through the enforcement of state policies by “union representatives,” all appointed by the state. As the move is made in the alleged defense against the white devil this ideology relies on to justify its authoritarian policies, leftists are sure to applaud this further takeover of private enterprise by a totalitarian state.
NEW HOUSE SPEAKER TRIGGERS RECORD FUNDRAISING DAY – It seems Americans are returning to the GOP after the installation of what appears to be an actual American-in-spirit to the House Speakership, Mike Johnson. The GOP is reporting their best fundraising day in 18 months, raising $175,00 two days after Johnson was confirmed as the new House Speaker.

COMMERCE DEPARTMENT DEMANDS EMPLOYEES BE ANTI-AMERICANISTS – A new policy by the U.S. Commerce Department requires new hires echo the beliefs of “DEI,” the ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope that holds white people invented evil and therefore every effort should be made to remove them and their “institutions” from the public space.
From their website: “The inclusion of DEIA activities in a performance plan and critical element signifies that these duties are of such importance that acceptable performance in these activities are required for acceptable performance in the position. The attached implementation guidance explains where and how the standardized DEIA language must be incorporated into performance plans.”
PELTZ APPEARS READY TO CONQUER DISNEY’S IGER – Activist Investor Nelson Pelts now has 30 million shares after former Marvel head Ike Perlmutter gave Peltz’ investment enterprise, Tiran Fund Management, sole voting power of his shares. Peltz wants Disney to be profitable and he wants the engineer of the destruction of Disney, Bog Iger, out, after Iger failed to deliver on his promise to end the policies of hate that have destroyed the once-legendary children’s entertainment company, which is now perceived by Americans (rightly) as being a pro-pedo-pro-leftist engine of hatred and sedition aimed at the heart of America and God himself.

WILL SOCIAL MEDIA SAVE US FROM AI-CREATED CP? – Social Media platforms from TikTok to Snapchat have signed a joint statement pledging to filter out efforts by people to share AI-created images depicting children in sexual manners.
The statement claimed, “We resolve to sustain the dialogue and technical innovation around tackling child sexual abuse in the age of AI. We resolve to work together to ensure that we utilise responsible AI for tackling the threat of child sexual abuse and commit to continue to work collaboratively to ensure the risks posed by AI to tackling child sexual abuse do not become insurmountable.”
HUMAN CELLS COULD FEED ON BACTERIA-KILLING VIRUSES – A study from Microbiologist Jeremy Barr of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia found that cancer cells consume bacteria-killing viruses for energy. Now, he hopes to duplicate the study using non-cancerous cells to see they do the same thing, as he suspects they do.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
