Today's Tantalizing Tidbits-- 5 News Stories In Short Form

 Today's Tantalizing Tidbits-- 5 News Stories In Short Form

*Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims he will not accept any offer to end the war that was negotiated by Trump and Putin and without his input. That is understandable, but, if he’s not blustering, it will effectively sign the death warrant for Ukraine. Tragic mistake.

*The German Defense Minister recently railed against Vice-President Vance’s commonsense address to the Munich Security Conference promoting free speech by saying the speech was “not acceptable.” This, naturally, proved Vance’s point. Not to be outdone, Christoph Heusgen, conference chair, broke down in tears during his farewell address. And Germany nearly won World War II? Worse, the country is considering making “insulting” comments and social media posts permanently punishable by fines and jail time. Police have already come to the door of those who criticized the government. Come on, guys, you tried this before, and it didn’t work out well-- for anyone in the world. Pathetic and sad to see.

*According to Zero Hedge, the number of searches for “Bleachbit” and other computer cleaners have recently surged in Washington D.C., for obvious reasons. The perps are trying to hide their crimes. I’m guessing inquiries such as “Best realtors in the D.C. area,” “California, here I come,” “DIAL LAWYERS,” “Offshore Banking For Dummies,” and “how to dodge DOGE” are also surging.

*Elon Musk’s DOGE recently revealed that the federal government didn’t bother to trace $4.7 trillion in outgoing payments, making those expenditures nearly impossible to trace. The identification code (Treasury Access Symbol) linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item, a standard financial process, was not attached to any of these outlays. $4.7 trillion here, $4.7 trillion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money! Unbleepingbelievable! 

*Testimony at a recent Republican-led congressional hearing revealed that countless millions of dollars have been wasted by government health agencies on “transgender animal testing.” Justin Goodman, senior vice president of the White Coat Waste Project, stated, “In our analysis, Dr. (Anthony) Fauci funded about 95% of the transgender animal experiments.” Goodman, speaking to members of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, said that, in his estimation, an astounding $241 million has been spent on transgender animal testing. He added, “I would say that is the floor, not the ceiling, because the information on federal databases is pretty incomplete.” Goodman, aptly named, went on to note that these bizarre and barbaric experiments were performed on mice, rats, and even monkeys, and that these animals were surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female to male, or male to female gender transitions. The “scientists” then looked at the biological, psychological, and physiological effects of the “gender transitions.” What kind of a sicko wants to use other people’s money to mutilate and transform innocent and unsuspecting animals? What kind of a sicko wants to mutilate and transform innocent and unsuspecting animals, period? Dr. Mengele, I presume?

 

 

 

 

Uganda Blames Lack Of Condoms, Lubricants On USAID Funding Freeze

 

Some folks in Uganda are apparently hopping mad that, as a result of the temporary freeze on funding placed by the Trump administration on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), it is no longer able to secure condoms and lubricants. "People will die," said one.

Say what?! The freeze has been in effect for just a few days. Moreover, I didn’t know the U.S. was, for some reason, solely responsible for providing Ugandans with condoms and lubricants. Of course, I was also blissfully unaware that Uncle Sam was funding abortions and “transgender care” around the planet, or that we were paying for “progressive” news agencies around the world to mock and demonize us, often by way of outright lies. Even as we were funding their most cherished programs. Amazing.

And I thought that perhaps USAID was primarily tasked with providing aid to poorer countries stricken by natural catastrophes and other disasters. Hah! Nope, our taxpayers’ money was mostly spent on social engineering and anti-American propaganda. Why wouldn’t we want to pay for that?! No wonder the U.S. has been used, abused, and taken advantage of by friends and enemies alike in recent years. We have been world class chumps. Time to level the damn playing field.

But back to Ugandan sexual proclivities. What kind of country would even admit it depends on another nation for its condoms and lubricants? How embarrassing! Are they incapable of making their own? What other countries rely on condoms from the United States? Does Iran count on sexual lubricants from “The Great Satan?”  

A little self-respect might be in order.

Then again, maybe not.

The people in charge of USAID certainly don’t deserve any respect, least of all from American taxpayers.

 

 

Top German Politician Seeks Revenge On Elon Musk For Supporting AfD

 

Friedrich Merz is the leader of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union and the front-runner for Chancellor of Germany according to polls in the lead-up to this month’s election. Merz recently said, via an interview with The Wall Street Journal, that Elon Musk must face “consequences” for daring to voice support for the Alternative for Germany party (AfD), a political rival.

Merz stated, “What happened in this election campaign cannot go unchallenged.” He added that the response could be political or legal. He also left open the possibility of going after Tesla, which has a gigafactory in Berlin, saying, “I am deliberately leaving the consequences open for now.” The CDU leader opined that Musk needs to be “investigated” for his remarks, stating, ”The fact that someone from outside Europe intervenes in a national election campaign in this way is new.”

Yet the EU and its member states routinely intervene in other nation’s elections. Just recently, the Romanian election results were overturned/annulled due in part to pressure from Western Europe. And opining isn’t “intervening.”

It says a lot—and nothing good—about Merz and those like him that they want to quell dissent and silence the speech of any who deign to disagree with them. Public and private figures alike have opined on elections around the world since time immemorial. Threatening to investigate and sue those who dare to oppose you, and to punish the companies they may run, proves that you, not them, are the threat to democracy. This kind of thuggish and intolerant behavior is especially problematic in Germany, given its history. While Merz flouts possible “consequences” for Musk, his repressionist attitude should have “consequences” for himself and his party. Consequences that should redound to their detriment and AfD’s benefit. Especially in light of the most recent European terror attack, this one in Munich, Germany. An Afghan migrant asylum seeker rammed his car through a crowd of protesters on February 13^th, killing a woman and injuring 30, including a child who is in critical condition. The migrant, who, you guessed it, has a history of multiple arrests for theft and drug dealing, fought with police after the deadly attack.

Perhaps, instead of assailing a man who has arguably done more to advance the plight of civilization than any other, Merz should consider espousing policies that would actually protect his own nation’s citizens from violent alien criminals.

If he does not (and he likely won’t), Germans would be well advised to channel their inner John McClane and say to him: "’Yippee-ki-yay, motherf***er,’ bring on the AfD.”

 

 

 

Democrats, Swamp Dwellers Indignant And Angry At Thought Of Accountability

 

According to individuals identifying as bureaucrats in Reddit's increasingly popular r/fednews, an online gathering place for America’s public servants federal workers, the Trump administration’s efforts to greatly curtail graft, fraud, and wasteful spending in the national government is a bad thing. Not just a bad thing, mind you, but perhaps on par with the Holocaust. Yes, some of the r/fednews community’s  375,000+ members seem to think DOGE’s efforts to bring transparency, accountability, and restraint to the federal government is a more dastardly and damaging attack on the United States than Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Gettysburg combined. The sick fact is that, to these self-centered ‘public servants,’ it is. Because auditing taxpayers’ largesse threatens their ill-gotten, bloated incomes as well as their agenda-driven pet projects around the world. They think, “Can Musk be right? I mean, who are these uppity citizens that are upset that I have two vacation homes-- and also spend their money on promoting abortion and transgenderism in Botswana and Zimbabwe? Who the hell do they think they are? The nerve!”

One Reddit r/fednews commenter stated that DOGE’s actions were akin to a “coup.” Another remarked, "We're at war." These Democrats can’t stand the thought of scrutiny. They will not tolerate any attempt to reign in their abuse of power and position. They will do anything to keep their gravy trains running-- and themselves from being held accountable for their actions, despite the wishes of American citizens.

They are scared. Maxine Waters spoke for many when she said, “we don’t know what they have on us.” Which is why they have increasingly used profanity, spouted violent rhetoric and espoused violent actions when referring to those who would simply audit them. It is also why they wish to abolish the very First Amendment, and take away Americans’ God-given right to free speech.

So, I ask you: Is there anyone more entitled than a Democrat in ‘public service?’ Is there a less accurate term?

Thomas Jefferson said, “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.”

Just so. And he was—supposedly—a Democrat!

 

 

 

 

E.U. Elites Pan Vance's Speech, Approve Of Terror Attacks And Societal Dissolution

 

Victor Davis Hanson, the great historian and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow, recently appeared on Newsmax and compared the heads of the European Union (EU) to far left and rant-prone Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). Hanson was referring to the speech Vice-President Vance gave to the Munich Security Conference, in which Vance criticized European leaders for their “conscious decisions” which have led to mass migration and its attendant consequences. Hanson stated: “When the EU was formed, the economy was almost the same as the United States in 1999. It’s only 60 percent of the U.S. economy now, GDP-wise. It’s failing in every aspect. Germany’s becoming deindustrialized.”    

It must be said that only the woke/socialist mind virus could enervate and potentially destroy Germany, the continent’s former economic and industrial superstar. However, nearly incessant migrant and Muslim terror attacks are doing their best to devastate Germany on their own, the most recent of which resulted in the death of a woman and at least 30 more folks being injured, some of them children.

Nevertheless, many of Europe’s elite were less than happy with Vance’s address. British “Lord” Jonathan Sumption mounted his royal high horse to label Vance’s speech “silly and immature,” two things it was demonstrably not. Sumption said, “Democracy and free speech are certainly under challenge in many European countries,” before preposterously adding, “The challenge is not coming from governments.” Say what? Then where the hell is it coming from? Only the government can regulate or ban free speech. Jerry from Ipswich can’t put “democracy” in danger, only those in power can, Lord Asshat. 

It pains me greatly to say this, but it is time to permanently break with England, the UK, the British Isles. It seems horrendous to state, but a reasoned analysis leads one to the inescapable conclusion that they are beyond hope and riding a post-modernist denouement down to the ash heap of history. The Brits seem bizarrely intent on their own demise. In fact, a recent poll revealed that only 11% of U.K. Gen Zers would fight for their country if needed. And it’s no wonder why. As in many Western nations, its youth are taught to loathe their homeland in schools, the media reinforces that notion, and they are rapidly losing their religion. (Except for Islam.)

The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, recently stated that the EU will immediately retaliate if the United States imposes reciprocal tariffs. What she is saying is: “You have no right to do to us what we’re doing to you!”

Memo to England “officials”: we won two world wars for your country, sacrificing tens of thousands of our own, and allowing you to continue to exist. I doubt even Churchill would deny that fact.

Memo to German “officials”: after we defeated your nation in WWII, we rebuilt your economy and your country, via the Marshall Plan. No other nation in the history of this planet would have done so. (The U.S. also gave many billions of dollars to the U.K., France, and 15 other countries to help them rebuild after the war.)

To recap: are you all dumb, insane…or just evil? It is past time to get with the effing program and start respecting your citizens again. And protecting them from foreign invasion and terrorist acts. And the far-left activists and agitators that seek to destroy them from within. If you will not immediately do so, you will indelibly mark yourselves as part of the (existential) problem.

Your citizens will no doubt subsequently act accordingly.

 

Democrats And The New Confederacy

 

The only thing in which today’s Democrats fervently believe is that they are entitled to be in power in perpetuity. Absolute power. Unquestioned power. Total control. Of everything.

Which, ironically, is why they behave so erratically. When they occupy the White House, the federal, centralized government is unquestionably the primary authority, utterly eclipsing states’ rights, with the President unquestionably, inarguably possessing the powers of the boldest king. During these times, the states have no right whatsoever to counteract or disobey a Presidential edict or mandate. Neither do individual communities or private businesses or religious organizations. Everyone must bake a cake for a gay/transgender wedding, personal religious beliefs be damned. If biological men wish to enter women’s lockers or bathrooms—and compete on their sports teams—that is the sacred law of the land. The states have no right to protect their own borders or honor the will of their citizens respecting these matters. There can be no such thing as a sanctuary state or city for those who would dare to disagree with Uncle Sam. “It’s in the Constitution, you know!” they shout. And they find activist judges who will back them up.

However, when the tables are turned, the roles reversed, and Republicans have control of the nation’s capital, Democrats turn on a dime and become avidly in favor of state’s rights. They indignantly accuse the Republicans of being Hitlerian tyrants who want to destroy our democracy and our precious individual freedoms. Why, Washington has no right to tell our teachers that they must replace their PRIDE! flags with the American flag! Forget your laws, trans women are welcome anywhere cis-females are in our state! And we have sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants and other criminals…and there’s not a damn thing Uncle Sam can do about it! “It’s in the Constitution, you know!” they shout. “Resistance is patriotic!” And they find activist judges who will back them up.

Democrats seceded from the Union once to protect their precious slavery. The Confederacy attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, starting the Civil War. Today they are attacking those who threaten their precious institutions of graft and waste. A new Confederacy of Fraud is threatening to secede from sanity and morality—and, at least in one case, the Union. Again.

This new iteration of Democrat Confederacy is built on obfuscation, misappropriation and misuse of funds, obstruction of the people’s expressed will and duly elected president, taxation without representation, and hence even a bit of economic slavery. The new confederacy, encompassing The Swamp and The Deep State, is vast and existentially dangerous. It must be defeated…and the activist judges reigned in. Or limited government of, by, and for the people may perish from the earth, more than 160 years after so many fell at Gettysburg.

 

 

 

 

LEGOS Deemed Anti-LGBTQ

 

According to the U.K. Telegraph, the group of U.K. museums known collectively as the Science Museum offer self-guided tours called ‘Seeing Things Queerly’ during which one can explore “stories of queer communities, experiences and identities.” What else would one go to a museum to do? The ‘tours’ are reportedly the creation of a group of staff and volunteers who identify as ‘the Gender and Sexuality Network.’

The most controversial aspect of the tour is a bucket of LEGO bricks presented alongside a warning that the toys may reinforce the apparently outdated notion that heterosexuality is somehow “the norm”:

Like other connectors and fasteners, Lego bricks are often described in a gendered way. The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male, the bottom of the brick with holes to receive the pins is female, and the process of the two sides being put together is called mating.

This is an example of applying heteronormative language to topics unrelated to gender, sex and reproduction. It illustrates how heteronormativity (the idea that heterosexuality and the male/female gender binary are the norm and everything that falls outside is unusual) shapes the way we speak about science, technology, and the world in general.

Let’s take the asininity from the top, shall we? Seeing things clearly is far more important than “seeing things queerly.” No matter how hard ideologues and advocates try, they can’t succeed in their goal of “queering everything.” Sorry, you can’t make eggs queer. You can’t “queer” sand. Or your toaster. And wanting to do so is an admission that you need help.

“Male” and “female” exist regardless of one’s deepest desires or fevered fantasies. And that’s a good thing, too, because if they didn’t, no one would be here.

A rectangle is a rectangle and a circle is a circle, irrespective of what someone calls them. A chair is a chair, a rock is a rock, a knife is a knife, and so on…no matter what I deem “my truth.” And I am not a member of the opposite sex, an African-American, six-foot-five, or a German Shepherd simply because I claim to identify as such. I can bitch about being “assigned” human at birth, but that only pits me against my Creator.

Here is one definition of male, from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: designed with a projecting part for fitting into a corresponding female part.

“Designed.” “With a projecting part for fitting into a corresponding female part.” Very simple. And supremely important. If Legos didn’t have male and female parts, they wouldn’t stick together, and the ‘buildings’ and ‘vehicles’ we build with them would fall apart. The same goes for robot or ‘human’ figures.

Legos wouldn’t be Legos without male and female parts.

Nor would people be people. You can try to take the person out of their gender, but you can’t take the gender out of the person.

 

DOGE Discoveries Shock And Anger Americans

 

Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk recently claimed the Federal Emergency Management Agency spent $59 million “last week” on “luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.” Musk’s assertion, subsequently denied by City Hall officials, was made via an early morning post on X. He then stated that “A claw-back demand” would be made “to recoup those funds.” (Which, apparently, has been done.)

Musk added, “That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals.”

City Hall officials issued a statement denying Musk’s assertions, indignantly—but humorously-- saying that only $19 million will go toward housing migrants in hotels. The statement also noted that “the previous administration committed only $237 million in funding to help house the migrants in our care and for future services.”

These expenditures are shocking and maddening on several levels, especially as FEMA officials essentially told western North Carolina residents who were recently victimized by Hurricane Milton that the organization was out of money…or at least dangerously low on cash.

Putting illegal aliens up in cushy hotels is a misuse of funds, effectively taxation without representation. It clearly illustrates that the government prefers immigrants to American citizens. “Only $19 million” to put criminals up in luxury hotels…for a week? And “only” $237 million in funding prior to that? WTF?! I don’t recall signing off on that. Neither does any other taxpayer.

This is almost as insane as if, say, USAID spent $20 million for an Iraqi version of Sesame Street, or countless millions to promote transgenderism around the world. Oh, wait, it did do both of those, too. Hah! Why didn’t we send taxpayer money to Ireland for a DEI musical…or just send it to terrorist groups? Oh crap. We did. And we did. We also pay for many nations’ condoms-- and other contraceptive materials. Don’t ask “why?” Ask “why not?!”

Did USAID send American taxpayer cash to Canada to teach Canadians how to play hockey—or to Russia to teach Russians how to make borscht? Wouldn’t doubt it. Maybe the U.S. could send off a couple million bucks to Albania to fund classes in underwater basket-weaving for those in the transgender community.

Worst of all, USAID has been funding left-wing media outlets literally around the world. That’s right, productive Americans have been paying for the mainstream media to lie to them and mock their beliefs and values. Abroad and at home! Money well spent…if you’re an ideological thug.

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order creating a council to review FEMA, due to its obvious political bias. Many are calling for FEMA to be shuttered. And USAID has already been greatly reduced in size.

That’s a start, anyway. The founders intended for the United States to have a government of, by, and for the people. Tragically, we ended up having a government of, by, and for those in government. Most of whom are anything but ‘public servants.’

It is time for a rebirth.

 

 

 

 

Canadian Church Blasphemes The Lord's Prayer

 

Protestia recently shared a video from St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Essex, Ontario, where they apparently employ an updated, LGBTQ version of the Lord’s Prayer. It starts out with a matronly looking person, albeit one possessing a shockingly baritone voice, referencing “Our mother and our father, our beloved parent…” and somehow gets worse from there. Those of you with strong stomachs can watch it via this link.

What kind of people would turn the Lord's Prayer into the LGBTQ Prayer? Why would anyone turn what is supposed to be a supplicative plea to the Savior for guidance and forgiveness into an ode to oneself and one’s lifestyle? And something that tells everyone else, including the Lord, how they must accept, support, and celebrate you?

Disgusting and sacrilegious.

The ‘prayer’ is mostly concerned with diversity, equality, inclusion, and belonging, and not so much with keeping us from temptation and delivering us from evil. That’s old school. Passé. It does request that transgenders “have their daily needs met,” and asks for “forgiveness for the ways that we have fallen short and failed your beloved transgender children.” It also instructs the Lord to “open our minds and our hearts to those who think, act, and experience life differently.” Meaning members of the LGBTQ community, not conservatives. I mean, diversity and inclusion can only go so far, right?

Let’s just rename it “They’s Prayer.” It would be more accurate.

But, if we really want to be inclusive, why not have separate “Lord’s Prayers” tailored to car salesmen, Capricorns, rapists, cat ladies, pedophiles, members of the Deep State, Dallas Cowboy fans, or vegans?

Bless us Father, for we have sinned.

Michigan Rep. Gets Sterilized Because She's Afraid Trump Might Ban Contraception

 

Michigan Advance recently reported that 36-year-old Michigan state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-Livonia) announced during a February 5th protest on the lawn of the Michigan Capitol in Lansing that she underwent sterilization surgery. Pohutsky, who is bisexual, claimed she did so because she was scared President Trump might make contraception inaccessible.

The demented Democrat told those assembled, “Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America. I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate.”

What the hell? Who is talking about effectively banning contraception?! I don’t remember that being a Trump campaign promise. (“Build the wall! Drill baby, drill! No more contraception! Keep women pregnant!”) Various forms of contraception are available at every drugstore, pharmacy, and department store in America, as well as in clinics and numerous high schools, for that matter. For both males and females. And they can be ordered online. They are ubiquitous. So she doesn’t even need to consider another obvious method of avoiding pregnancy: abstinence.

Her claim that the Trump administration “only sees value” in her “ability to procreate” is patently absurd. The last thing this country needs is more woke women! If Pohutsky is determined to let men and women treat her body “as currency,” we would much prefer she doesn’t get pregnant! Hopefully, she can convince other progressive Democrats to get sterilized. I wouldn’t even mind if my tax dollars went to that cause!

In conclusion, I say this to Rep. Pohutsky: “Thank you!”
