Have you ever just had a family dinner conversation over a group holiday or spoken with friends about going to Ibiza to party, and minutes later, relevant ads appear on Facebook or other applications or websites?

More than likely you answered yes, and that’s simply because all smart devices are permanently listening in on everything you say and keep track of everything you do. They are constantly gathering behavioural data, mostly for commercial and marketing purposes.

In the case of vehicles with built-in smart devices, including sensors, they build complete profiles of the drivers and their passengers. They map their routes and the frequency of visits to different locations. For example, they know if the driver is a frequent bar or restaurant patron, or a supermarket shopper, a casino habitué, or church goer.

Is your phone secretly listening to you? Truth is more disturbing

They also know what kind of music they prefer, and listen in on conversations to build complete profiles and bombard them with targeted ads, which are paid more handsomely by advertisers. Coca-Cola, for instance, will pay more for a list of loyal drinkers than for those who are not. It’s simple math.

Smart refrigerators learn their owners’ habits, and manufacturers of those devices or the applications linked to these domestic appliances make a profit by selling them to advertisers who then target you with ads relevant to you.

We could go on explaining how all smart devices, vehicles and appliances are keeping an eye and ear on everything you say and do. And even if you do not have smart devices yourself, remember your friend’s devices are listening to you too.

Your data is more valuable than oil

In 2017, The Economist pointed out that data was the most valuable commodity, beyond oil. The World Economic Forum released a report in 2019, saying data is the oil of the digital world. Also in 2019, Forbes said data is the new oil, and that’s a good thing, and it is when it’s being used for research and development for the good of humanity, and not to get richer as the tech giants are doing.

Eight years ago, CNN said, “Your car’s data (which is really data about you) may soon be more valuable than the car itself.” And eight years later, CNN wrote, “your car’s manufacturer has more of your data than you think.”

In 2018, Francois Fleutiaux, CEO at Btob Telco, said, “Modern vehicles generate around 25 gigabytes of data every hour! Autonomous cars will generate even more – up to 3,600 gigabytes of data per hour.”

That means vehicles collect data on how you drive, how hard you brake, how heavy your foot is on the gas pedal, how fast you turn corners, and even what you eat, drink, and more.

“Our smartphones, our Internet searches, and our social media accounts are giving away our secrets,” Gus Hosein, the executive director of Privacy International, told National Geographic, “If the police wanted to know what was in your head in the 1800s, they would have to torture you. Now they can just find it out from your devices.”

A 404 Media exclusive report exposed how Cox Media Group (CMG) has partnered with Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Bing to process the voice data they collect from smartphones, smart TVs, Alexa, and Google Home and other similar devices and use AI to identify “ready-to-buy” audiences, and hit them with ads that will vastly enhance their advertising ROI (Return on Investment).

Olivier Acuna Barba, Euroweekly News

Four years ago, the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association published an article by Dr. Donald Moss, a New York psychoanalyst, titled “On Having Whiteness.” There, in a flagship journal of a supposedly scientific discipline, Dr. Moss laid out his thesis in tones more suited to medieval demonology than modern psychology. “Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has,” he wrote, describing it as a “malignant, parasitic-like condition” that induces in its hosts “voracious, insatiable, and perverse” appetites. The article, deeply disturbing on both moral and intellectual grounds, was not rejected as inflammatory pseudo-science, but rather published, cited, and praised. More disturbingly still, Dr. Moss teaches at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, meaning his beliefs are not confined to paper, but are actively imparted to students as if they were legitimate insight.

This is not an isolated incident, nor is it the work of a lone radical. It is a symptom of something much deeper: the deliberate institutionalization of anti-white ideology within American higher education. Over the past decade, our universities have moved beyond merely critiquing racial inequality, into the active demonization of whiteness as an essential, ontological evil. This is not the language of reform. It is the language of collective guilt, moral inversion, and revolutionary politics disguised as pedagogy.

Take, for instance, a course called “The Problem of Whiteness” taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The course explicitly treats white identity not as a demographic fact or cultural inheritance, but as a moral and political pathology. Students are asked to explore how white people “consciously and unconsciously perpetuate institutional racism,” and the university describes the course as part of a broader effort to dismantle white supremacy. The implication is not subtle: to be white is to be guilty, to participate in society is to oppress, and to recognize this guilt is to begin the long process of ideological reformation.

At Florida Gulf Coast University, Professor Ted Thornhill offered a course titled “White Racism,” wherein students are taught to confront “racist ideologies, laws, policies, and practices” that allegedly maintain white dominance. Professor Thornhill emphasized that the course was anti-white racism, not anti-white people, but the distinction grows faint when systemic guilt is uniformly attributed to a single race. That the university prepared police presence for the first day of class speaks volumes about how charged and radicalized these academic spaces have become.

More provocatively still was Hunter College’s course “Abolition of Whiteness,” which used the vocabulary of revolution to describe its aims. The phrase, lifted from critical race theorists, suggests that “whiteness” is not merely an identity but a structure to be dismantled, even annihilated. The parallels to earlier ideological campaigns against bourgeois identity, kulaks, or aristocrats should not be missed. When political radicals begin speaking in terms of abolishing classes of people, however abstractly defined, the trajectory that follows is never benign.

At the University of Kansas, students are invited to study the rise of the “Angry White Male,” as though white male frustration were a specimen under a microscope, to be analyzed for its pathologies and dismissed as reactionary angst. No such courses exist analyzing, say, the militant radicalism of the Weather Underground or the misandry inherent in segments of contemporary feminism. Only the white male is permitted to be studied with such unrelenting suspicion.

All of this might be waved away as merely academic if it remained confined to ivory towers. But the fevered theories of yesterday’s classrooms have become today’s policy positions. This week, we witnessed the grotesque spectacle of Democrats denouncing President Trump for offering asylum to white South African farmers, men and women whose land has been seized and whose families have been murdered. These victims of racial violence sought refuge in the United States, and Democrats objected. Why? Because they were white.

It is hard to avoid the conclusion that the Democratic Party has absorbed, almost uncritically, the postmodern racial dogmas taught in our universities. They see all human interactions as power struggles, all history as oppression, and all moral virtue as a function of melanin. In this worldview, the darker you are, the more innocent you must be. Conversely, the lighter your skin, the more you are to be condemned, distrusted, and displaced.

This explains, in part, why so many on the left rushed to side with Palestine after the October 2023 attacks on Israel. Civilians were massacred. Women were raped. Americans were taken hostage. And yet, progressive activists draped themselves in keffiyehs and blamed the victims. Their logic was simple: Palestinians are darker, poorer, and less powerful than Israelis, therefore they are righteous, no matter what they do. Jews, though historically persecuted, are now recast as white oppressors in the latest ideological schema.

The extent of this ideological rot is no longer deniable. The Harvard Antisemitism Task Force Report (p. 150) revealed that, in a required course at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, professors displayed a “Pyramid of White Supremacy” that included references to the Anti-Defamation League and “Settler Colonialism.” Let that sink in: a Jewish civil rights organization was placed alongside concepts of white domination in a classroom not only sanctioned but required by America’s most prestigious university. The mask has slipped. What once wore the cloak of academic nuance now parades openly as ideological bigotry, and even Jewish Americans find themselves relabeled as white villains under this twisted taxonomy of power.

This moral inversion is not accidental. It is cultivated, curated, and credentialed. Courses like “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack,” taught at Colorado College, train students to see whiteness as a system of theft and deceit. Amherst College’s course on “Racial Capitalism” teaches that American prosperity itself is rooted in racial exploitation. At Duke Law School, students study Critical Race Theory as a lens through which to view all law as an instrument of white supremacy. These courses are not fringe. They are mainstream.

There was once a time when liberal education meant exposure to great works, rigorous thought, and a commitment to truth. But the modern university has traded Cicero for Coates, logic for intersectionality, and justice for grievance. It does not educate. It indoctrinates. And the result is a generation of Americans taught not to love their country or their neighbors, but to loathe them, especially if they happen to be white.

When hatred is given academic credentials, when anti-white ideology is marketed as moral enlightenment, when universities abandon universal principles in favor of racial tribalism, the effects are predictable and perilous. We see them now in the Democratic Party, which has become less a political organization and more a graduate seminar in critical theory. We see them in the media, which parrot activist slogans with the same incurious fidelity once reserved for war propaganda. And we see them in the streets, where mobs tear down statues, block ICE vehicles, and chant slogans against Western civilization itself.

If there is a remedy, it begins with clarity. The great replacement is real. If you had any doubt, this story about the South African refugees should clear it up for you. The Left wants unchecked third world migration because they want to make America less white. That’s it. It’s that simple. That’s why they oppose the white refugees. Because white refugees defeat the whole purpose of the program. We must be willing to name the ideology for what it is: race hatred. We must understand its origins, which are not in the hearts of the American people, but in the seminar rooms of credentialed radicals. And we must demand that our universities return to their true mission: the pursuit of truth, not the propagation of tribal resentment.

Predicting the midterms is easy …

If Republicans continue to do what they’re doing, which is going against Trump’s Cabinet picks, being worthless and lazy, and doing nothing to help Trump, they’ll lose in a landslide.

It’s almost like they want to lose.

…

That’s exactly what they want. It’s easier to blame the democrats when our country falls apart because they’ll say they don’t have the majority. They have no intention of passing Trumps agenda. Most of them are in on the take.

…

Makes sense, they lose, democrats get majority, impeach Trump and they get to continue their grift.

…

Who’s backing these RINO’s? Soros and the deep-state.

Who’s backing the Democrats? Soros and the deep-state.

Now, do you really think that these RINO’s don’t want to hand over the House back to the deep-state so they can get their gravy-train scheme going?

…

If we lose in the midterms, Trump will be impeached (probably for J-walking), Elon will get indicted for something, JD Vance will be indicted for something, and the borders will be reopened wide! I’m voting Republican regardless.

Democratic strategist James Carville on Tuesday urged Democrats to stop using a slew of left-wing words and phrases he said are ineffective, confusing or alienating to voters.

Carville, on an April episode of his “Politics War Room” podcast, condemned the phrases “communities of color” and “people of color,” arguing they were “racist” because they suggest all minorities are identical rather than unique. In a Tuesday Politicon video, Carville did not mention these phrases, but rattled off several more terms he believes Democrats should avoid using in political messaging, explaining why they are problematic.

VIDEO AT LINK……………

“Don’t use ‘generational change,’ because there’s a lot of people that are older — me being one. Why do you want to limit the appeal of your message to younger people? … Don’t use words like ‘structural,’ okay? Because we’re not going to attack the structural issues in the world right now,” Carville said. “We’re trying to, like, stay alive to the next day. Don’t use the word ‘equity.’ Use ‘equality’ to your little heart’s desire. People basically don’t know what it means, and if they do know what it means, it looks like you tried to force an outcome.”

Then-vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris received backlash on Twitter after posting a Nov. 1, 2020, video making the case for “equity,” meaning equality of results, rather than ensuring that everyone has equality of opportunity. Twitter users suggested the video seemed to promote communism.

Carville also took aim at the term “oligarch,” which has risen to prominence since independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders launched his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour in February, often featuring Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“This is another really stupid word: ‘oligarch.’ Who in the fuck knows what an oligarch is, okay? As opposed to a very acceptable word I’ve talked about before is ‘fat cats,’” the Democratic strategist said. “[Everybody] knows what a fat cat is. Everybody talks about what a fat cat is.”

Moreover, Carville suggested not saying “community.”

“Nothing wrong with the word ‘community’ [and] nothing wrong with being in a community. But it’s just such a Democratic word. And really, the community we all live in is the community of humankind,” he said. “And it’s not a terrible word. I wouldn’t even use the ‘LBGQT+’ or whatever it is. I just call people gay, the lesbian or trans … Just use the word that is most commonly used among people as they talk to each other.”

Carville said people don’t understand the acronym and that the use of it indicates people are “trying to signal that there’s something wrong with the term or you’re just trying to show people how smart you are.”

“So don’t use words like that. Don’t use words like ‘intersectionality,’” he said.

Carville recounted listening to an NPR panel discuss the term during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I literally thought they would kind of go overboard in ecstasy on the radio … No one uses the term ‘intersectionality’ except for NPR,” he said.

“We’re going to have limited time to make our case. When we have whatever limited time we have, and we’re fighting back at all this, I think we should be very careful … So when you hear your elected representatives and you hear Democrats or you hear sane people using words that are not the right word, let them know that that kind of language is not helpful,” Carville added. “It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person — it’s just not helpful.”

When I write collapse, I’m not referring just to a financial meltdown. I’m referring to a broad-based social collapse that could call into question the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which some historians refer to as the Peasant Dynasty.

In order to understand the vulnerability of China, it helps to consider the counter-narrative that the China is a rising great power. We’ve heard for decades that Chinese GDP would soon exceed U.S. GDP to make China the largest economy in the world. China has also long been known as having the largest population in the world.

The latest addition to the super-China narrative is that China is passing the U.S. in technology and AI and that this technology applied to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) would give China military superiority as well. From this position, it’s a short hop to a Chinese takeover of Taiwan and expulsion of the U.S. from its position in the Western Pacific. At that point, the Asian Century will have truly displaced the American Century (1914-2008).

I’ve said for years that Chinese GDP would never surpass U.S. GDP. The reason is that China is now stuck in the middle-income trap. It’s an accomplishment for an economy to move from low per capital annual income (about $5,000) to middle per capital annual income (about $15,000). China has accomplished that. But you cannot simply extrapolate from middle-income to high-income ($24,000 or higher) on a linear basis dependent only on the passage of time.

It takes an extraordinary effort to break out of the middle-income trap. Only a few countries (Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Hong Kong) have ever accomplished it. The key is technology and high-value added production to replace low-value added assembly style production. China has not accomplished this. Most of China’s technology is stolen from the West. That’s not good enough, because the country you stole it from already has it and has already applied it efficiently. You have to invent your own technology and apply it before competitors are even aware. China has failed miserably at this.

Chinese GDP is often touted as a measure of success, but it is overstated by about 100%. Investment is roughly 45% of Chinese GDP compared to about 25% in most developed economies. Over half of Chinese investment is wasted.

***Support The Liberty Daily and Mike Lindell — use code TLD at MyPillow.com and get up to 66% off!***

I’ve been to China many times and have seen the empty ghost cities and the monumental train stations that are mostly empty. If that wasted investment were written-off, Chinese GDP would drop from 5.0% to 3.6%.

With honest accounting for bad debt in the government-controlled banks, Chinese GDP would drop to 2.0% or lower. China’s government debt-to-GDP ratio of 250% makes it impossible for China to grow faster than the debt burden is growing. This dynamic makes future growth even more difficult.

The other impediment to growth in China is demographic. China’s population is shrinking at an alarming rate, partly as a result of the one-child policy (1980-2010). Now, China wants to encourage families to have two or three children. But the damage is done.

Chinese women today do not want families because of new opportunities presented by education, high-paying jobs and urbanization. China will lose over 300 million working age citizens in the next forty years. If output is understood as working age population multiplied by productivity, then economic growth in China is a near impossibility.

And China is no longer the highest population country in the world. They were recently surpassed by India. That population gap between India and China will only widen in the years ahead.

As for military superiority, China is not even close to U.S. capability despite the Biden administration’s cuts in spending on new weapons and combat readiness. China touts its lone aircraft carrier without mentioning that it was actually built by Russia. China is trying to build an aircraft carrier fleet, but that’s an immensely complex task that can take twenty years to fully implement.

China threatens U.S. aircraft carriers with an attack from a Chinese hypersonic missile. That’s possible, but the U.S. response would be to sink the entire Chinese fleet – something similar to what Japan did to Russia in 1905, and the U.S. did to Iran in 1988. An invasion of Taiwan is not in the cards despite continual threats.

Desperate Measures
All of these growth and geopolitical headwinds have been building for years. Now, Trump’s tariff and trade war have hammered the Chinese economy into what is likely to be their first recession since 2008.

Worse yet, the lost orders, factory closures, unpaid wages and lost jobs are causing social unrest that is even more threatening to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) than slow growth and recession. Here are some snapshots as reported by on-the-scene observers:

• There are numerous reports of factories failing to pay their workers. In some cases, the wage arrears go back six months.
  Arson attacks on railway stations and factories were widespread on February 10th. Many videos of these fires have been posted online.
  Youth unemployment hit 27% at one point in 2024. The government’s response was to cease reporting on youth unemployment. When youth are unemployed or idle, they are more likely to respond with violence in the streets.
  The CCP passed the “Anti-foreign Sanctions Law.” This law retaliates against any US owned company in China that complies with US sanctions against third parties. Russia and Iran are the main targets of such sanctions. The penalty for violating this law is confiscation of all corporate assets in China.
  The CCP government is showing fake stories about riots in U.S. retail stores due to higher prices because of tariffs. One story claims U.S. customers of Walmart and Target are rioting inside stores to buy Chinese goods before tariffs go into effect. Those stories are complete lies but they are propagated to boost morale in China by suggesting China will win the trade war.
  In the recent Thai earthquake only one high-rise building fell. It was a Chinese-built office building that claimed to have advanced anti-earthquake technology according to the CCP. Upon investigation, it was learned that the steel rebar was defective and concrete beams were not built to specifications. After the building collapsed, a group of Chinese nationals breached the police security perimeter to haul away a truck load of business records. Four were arrested. This illustrates how the Chinese do everything. They don’t innovate. They cut corners.
  The official Chinese central news agency aired a story about their plans to invade Taiwan. Those stories employed a string of vulgarities, such as “F*ck Taiwan,” “Taiwan can go f*ck itself,” and “Taiwan sucks,” accompanied by other vulgar quotes from CCP officials. This isn’t diplomacy and it isn’t even good propaganda. It’s a sign of weakness.
  Many Chinese exporters rely on exemption from duties and customs inspections on direct-to-customer shipments from China to end users in the United States where the value is less than $800 per item. Shein and Temu are the principal beneficiaries of this loophole but there are many others. This exemption has destroyed hundreds of thousands of small suppliers in the U.S.The exemption has now been eliminated. Temu’s sales have been crushed and a proposed IPO of Shein in London may be delayed or scaled down as a result.
  China’s economy relies on the exploitation of World Trade Organization (WTO) membership, low U.S. tariffs and Wall Street greed that supplies China with capital to go with their slave labor system. All of that is now coming to an end.
  Trump’s tariffs will demolish the role of the WTO. The SEC may revoke reporting exemptions currently available to Chinese companies listed in U.S. markets. Wall Street will be regulated in such a way that capital will flow to new investment in the U.S. and not to China. The result will be a body blow to China’s ambitions to grow economically and to finance its military ambitions.
• If China does not quickly agree to Trump’s agenda, the impact on China will be far worse than lost trade and layoffs. President Xi Jinping will lose what the Chinese call The Mandate of Heaven. This is the source of political legitimacy in China regardless of what formal type of government is in place.
  
• If Xi loses the Mandate of Heaven, China will descend into chaos, unrest and political decentralization as has happened repeatedly over 3,000 years of Chinese civilization. The result will be more profound than even the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). It will mean the end of the CCP and the current era of Chinese governance.

Osmium, the rarest metal on Earth, is drawing increasing attention not only for its unique properties but also for its staggering value. Currently priced at $1,350 per gram, it is already 15 times more valuable than gold. This extraordinary price reflects osmium’s scarcity and the specialized uses it serves, particularly in high-end jewelry, watchmaking, and scientific applications. However, a recent report has sent shockwaves through the market: osmium is set to be completely depleted by 2026. According to a study published in Nature Chemistry, osmium’s scarcity has always made it a coveted resource, but this new depletion forecast has escalated its value to unprecedented heights, triggering an impending market crisis. The announcement of this “Osmium Crisis” is reshaping the future of precious metals. As a result, industry leaders are bracing for what could be the most significant market upheaval in years.

The Osmium Institute and Its Role in the Crisis

According to The Farmingdale Observer (2025), the Osmium Institute in Murnau, Germany, is strategically positioning itself as the central authority to manage osmium resources as they near depletion. The institute’s state-of-the-art facility is tasked with the delicate job of overseeing the distribution of remaining osmium stocks while maintaining market stability. As reported by the Osmium Institute, the global shortage could cause osmium prices to surge by 120% before 2026, further pushing the cost to previously unimaginable levels. The Murnau headquarters, which opened in May 2025, will also serve as a hub for educating the public and investors on the metal’s dwindling availability, ensuring that no one is caught off guard. With 40 partner institutions around the globe, the institute’s reach is extensive, facilitating the final years of osmium extraction and distribution.

Osmium’s Unique Properties and Demand

Osmium’s extraordinary properties have contributed to its ever-increasing demand in luxury markets and specialized industries. The metal is incredibly dense, and its high melting point and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for niche applications like high-end watches and luxury jewelry. Despite its extreme scarcity, osmium has managed to remain somewhat unaffected by geopolitical tensions in the way that other rare earth elements, like neodymium and lanthanum, have been. Unlike these elements, which are largely controlled by industrial giants such as China, osmium’s limited availability means that its market is not subject to the same political forces. As reported by The Farmingdale Observer, this has helped osmium retain its appeal in markets that value its purity and rarity.

The Impact on Luxury Industries

The impending depletion of osmium will send shockwaves through industries that rely on its unique characteristics. The high-end watchmaking and luxury jewelry sectors are at the forefront of this crisis, as these industries use osmium for its distinctive blue hue and unparalleled durability. Manufacturers are now faced with a crucial decision: buy up remaining supplies at current prices or risk paying astronomical sums for the metal in the near future. According to The Farmingdale Observer, some luxury brands have already started to adjust their strategies, marketing their products as “exclusively using a metal on the verge of extinction.” This strategy is intended to drive demand even higher, capitalizing on the scarcity and pushing up the price of any available osmium.

Innovations and Adaptations in Resource Management

With osmium becoming increasingly rare, industries and researchers are quickly turning to alternatives. In the same vein that solar energy innovations have rapidly advanced to tackle global challenges, the search for substitute materials is gaining momentum. Experts are exploring synthetic alternatives that could replicate osmium’s unique qualities. This shift mirrors broader trends in sustainability, where synthetic and recycled materials are being prioritized over natural resources. The Osmium Institute has been instrumental in this effort, working with scientists and material engineers to develop new techniques for recycling osmium and reducing reliance on virgin supplies. Additionally, some researchers are even looking beyond Earth. There have been explorations into the possibility of obtaining osmium from Mars or meteorites, as reported by The Farmingdale Observer, hoping to discover new reserves that could extend the availability of this precious metal.

You may have missed the news, but last week an Army colonel – nice to see an Army colonel doing something besides sharing xis pronouns – at Fort Bragg, which communists now call “Fort Liberty,” caught a Chechen illegal alien lurking in his backyard taking pictures of his kids and smoked him like a fatty at a Cypress Hill concert. This colonel might have been from Delta Force, but he is definitely part of the special operations community, and you might well be wondering what some Chechen illegal alien was doing in his backyard. In fact, there were two of them – the other one got away, but he got caught, and then the FBI let him go because it’s the FBI and the illegal alien wasn’t in a church somewhere worshiping God or talking bad about abortion. This is not the only such incident. There’s been a lot of this sort of stuff going on. This just goes to tell you something very important. What is that?

My latest book, The Attack, is not just a novel about a terrorist attack on America. It’s a chilling preview of the future.

Here’s the deal – we have a wide-open border and a bunch of enemies, and the enemies, not being anywhere near as stupid as the Biden administration is, are taking full advantage of it. If you deny that thousands upon thousands of enemy operatives have infiltrated the United States among the hordes of military-age males who are streaming across the wide-open border, you are either stupid or you think we are stupid.

These Chechens were allegedly working for a utility company. The utility company is not answering its phone. It’s also owned by a Moldovan. Moldova was, of course, part of the Soviet Union. So was what’s left of Chechnya. It’s reasonable to believe that the Russian government is infiltrating operatives into the United States to observe and potentially assault our special operations community. This isn’t the first time we’ve had something like this happen. Recently, a Russian was caught taking photographs of sensitive stuff. It’s unclear what happened to him. We know that just the other week, a bunch of Muslim illegal aliens tried to sneak into the Quantico Marine Corps br. I’m sure these people were just trying to help out their newly adopted country. I also have a unicorn whose name is Chet.

The Attack talks about this phenomenon in novel form. Thousands of enemy operatives infiltrate the country and launch a devastating attack that kills tens of thousands of Americans. The idea that this can’t happen is nonsense. To think that is a failure of imagination. It’s just like we failed imagine what our enemies would do on 9/11. Except for a few novels, no one thought that a bunch of bad guys would hijack a bunch of airliners and fly them into giant buildings. But they did. And there, the FBI also knew the dad guys were in country and utterly failed to protect us.

…

The enemy is serious, unlike this administration. The enemy will do things whether we think of and anticipate them or not. That’s what’s exactly what is happening now. We are being observed and tested, and our enemies are preparing attacks. The strikes will come at the most vulnerable time for us, no doubt while this desiccated pervert is still in the White House pretending that our big threat is “white nationalism.”

It wasn’t “white nationalism” that flew planes into the Pentagon and World Trade Center. It was not “white nationalists” who went on a butcher spree in Israel. It is not what is threatening our people today. It is not what is going to invade Taiwan – yes, China is going to invade Taiwan. Why? Because it can. Our weakness is an engraved invitation to out enemies.

But it’s worse than just weakness. Joe Biden and his puppet-masters are so deeply anti-American and so deeply incompetent that they create a perfect storm of failure so remarkable that Jimmy Carter is holding off dying to remain alive just long enough to see himself lose his ranking as the worst president of the last century.

It’s not just jihadis. The Russians have been infiltrating us for the last century, first as the Soviet Union and now as the Russian Russians. How many Chinese agents are here? One, two, 100, 1000, 10,000? It’s probably more than 10,000. They’re all here, and they’re preparing, and our failed government is pretending that there’s nothing going on, that everything is fine. What are the chances that Joe Biden is going to order the FBI to stop hassling people for praying in church and opposing abortion or wandering through the People’s House, which apparently doesn’t belong to the People anymore, and focus on the enemy aliens who the administration let into the country? He’s never going to do that. He doesn’t want to admit the failure of his border policy – actually, it’s a success since he wants to import millions of Third World peasants to vote Democrat and replace normal Americans as voters. He doesn’t want to admit that he’s made us vulnerable and that he is setting us up for a failure that makes his disasters in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Israel, and Niger look like tiny Stelters – I mean small potatoes.

And at some level, the Biden crew sides with our enemies. He and his clique hate America and Americans. There’s no other explanation for this conduct – if they hated America and Americans, what would they do differently?

It’s remarkable that, after this colonel shot this guy for attacking him in his yard, they caught the other one and just let him go. He should’ve disappeared into the bowels of a proper deep state and been “encouraged” to spill his guts about exactly what’s going on. But no, they let him go. Remember, he’s an illegal alien. He shouldn’t be here in the first place, much less wandering around after scouting out our special forces guys for kidnapping, assassination, or whatever else the enemy has in mind. But he’s free. He’s walking our streets. He’s not afraid, and why should he be? It’s not like he got caught praying outside an abortion mill.

Joe Biden is going to get tens of thousands of Americans killed. You may think that’s a crazy thing to say. You would have once thought someone telling you that we’d watch human beings falling off of C-17s as America fled from Afghanistan and the primitive tribesmen who drove our broken military out was crazy. No, it’s coming. It’s going to happen. There are no two ways about it. And you better be ready.

Buy guns and ammunition. Carry legally. Have a bag in the back of your car with a tourniquet, bandages, and blood clotting stuff, and know how to use them. It will go down, just like I wrote about in The Attack. I don’t want it to be true. I don’t want it to happen. I don’t want to be right. But I am. You better be ready, or you and your family may die.

Get out there and vote to elect Donald Trump and the Republicans in 2024. Just pray it isn’t too late.

Kurt Schlichter, Townhall

Good Monday morning, everyone! The title of this missive is not some signal of defeat, hardly so. However, it is a realization of a ground truth that Texans must accept, or run the risk of being a Colorado or other former red states.

It was not too long ago, in November 2024, that we celebrated a resounding political victory here in Texas. Donald Trump increased his margin of victory from 2020 from 6 percent to 15 percent. We also saw 12 of 14 border counties in Texas go for Trump. In the so-called “hotly contested” Texas Senate race, Ted Cruz cruised to victory by nearly 10 percent. Texas had a solid red majority in the State Senate and State House. All seemed well. It was such a drastic defeat for Democrats in Texas that their State Party Chairman resigned.

Then something happened.

With a clear 88-62 majority in the Texas State House, 36 Republicans broke camp and joined with 49 Democrats to select the Texas Speaker of the House. Somehow, there are so-called Republicans who prance around boasting how many Texas generations they are and wearing cowboy hats saying those elected Republicans who broke their own caucus rules should not be held accountable. Well, if there was any evidence of a Pavlovian experiment, that is a prime example. We all know that if you reward bad behavior — or worse, excuse it — you will get more bad behavior. So now we have a Texas State House, with a majority of 88 Republicans passing unconscionable legislation, such as HB 366, criminalizing political memes. Here we are just days before the calendar deadline that will kill most bills, and our Republican Party of Texas legislative priorities are at risk of dying.

But, a school choice bill was passed and signed which will provide regulated vouchers for 100,000 Texas kids. That is not exactly “universal.”

Recently we had our municipal elections, and the results were quite telling. Once again, the turnout for these races was abysmal, and we wonder why we have failing municipal governance. The Democrats in Dallas realized that the local elections were a priority for the Dallas County Republican Party, a rarity. They went all out, including having the local useful idiot — Vladimir Lenin’s characterization — Rep. Jasmine Crockett come out to fire up the mindless lemmings to vote against their own safety and security. Where were our local Republican elected officials? Some were probably too busy conjuring up their next endeavor to support the Texas Democrats.

What was even more disconcerting were articles published in local media outlets detailing how some wealthy Republicans actually donated to incumbent Democrats on the Dallas City Council . . . the same folks who host out-of-state Republican elected officials and candidates. Talk about burning down your own house while helping others to build theirs.

The results across North Texas were telling. Plano, Mansfield, Dallas, and elsewhere saw Democrat victories as Republicans seemed to, once again, be bitten by the poisonous snake called apathy.

It is that apathy that could result in the flipping of Texas.

Leftists have a grand strategic plan when it comes to invading red states. They overtake the major population centers, where the abject failure of their governance is visible. Then that cancer metastasizes into the surrounding municipalities and counties, the suburbs. This is what is happening in Texas. Sadly, even with Republican legislative majorities and elected officials, leftists are enjoying success. Funny, one could almost say that Republicans are aiding and abetting the demise of Texas right before our eyes. I find it perplexing that instead of governing as a red state, Texas finds itself struggling and seeking an unholy alliance with progressive socialists.

Texas should not have illegal immigration sanctuary housing developments. Texas should not have Islamic enclaves seeking to implement Sharia law. Texas should not have pockets of blue where law enforcement refuses to work with ICE to deport criminal illegal immigrants. Texas should not have leftist election administrators who undermine the integrity of our electoral system. Texas should not have Democrat elected officials who feel so emboldened that they are accused of physically and verbally assaulting Republican election officials.

These are just examples, and there are many others, as to why the leftists feel that they can slowly, like boiling a frog, flip Texas. As long as Republicans are apathetic and continue to elect those who want to pet socialist rattlesnakes, we are on this road. Next year we have the crucial midterm elections. The left in America — in Texas — are depending upon Republican apathy in not showing up, and enabling them to reclaim legislative majorities. There are some Republicans who are hoping constitutional conservatives resign themselves to, once again, believing their distortions of reality like “it was the most conservative legislative session ever,” to keep them in positions of managing the decline of the Lone Star State.

The skilled combat leader recognizes the battlefield before the battle is even fought. That is what Sun Tzu teaches in The Art of War. The question is, how many of you have that prescient vision and are willing to make a stand and fight here in Texas? Hold Texas, hold the nation.

Steadfast and Loyal.

Dallas County GOP, Chairman’s Monday Message

Trump has been in office for only a few months and has already managed to cut national debt growth by 92 percent. This is definitely one of the things that would cause people to say, ‘I voted for this.’

While the left rants and raves over cuts to various government programs, Trump is securing the nation’s financial future by getting spending under control.

And remember, while Trump and Republicans are taking care of this serious business, Democrats are obsessing over and defending illegal immigrant criminals.

The contrast could not be sharper.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Trump has slowed national debt growth by 92%

For all the negative headlines hating on President Donald Trump‘s Department of Government Efficiency, daily data from the Treasury Department have vindicated the president’s crusade against our obese federal budget. Even without the trillions of dollars expected to come with Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” the White House has slowed the growth of federal debt held by the public so dramatically that the total national debt has actually shrunk since Inauguration Day.
