NOTABLE QUOTES
Kevin Roberts Heritage Foundation President: “The Left has abandoned the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the consent of the governed, free and fair elections, the separation of powers, the First and Second Amendments, and more. This fight is a battle of foundational ideas, but the ideals of the Left today permit no room for self-government, for constitutionalism, and definitely not for federalism.”
Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: There was a time when conservatives told themselves that safe spaces, trigger warnings and speech bans would stay on campus. “Just wait until those kids get out into the real world and discover that they can’t get jobs studying critical race theory,” they would snicker. Not only can they get jobs, but their job in government and corporate DEI is purging you. There’s no real world anymore. We live in a giant totalitarian campus in the University States of America whose administrators are government officials and corporate leaders in which elections matter much less than catering to the whims of a young and wealthy post-student workforce.
Jerry Dunleavy reporter for The Washington Examiner: A former top CIA official who helped write and sign the infamous October 2020 Hunter Biden laptop letter baselessly claiming Russian involvement has testified a phone call with now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken “triggered” its creation. Mike Morell, a former acting CIA director under President Barack Obama, said in a recent transcribed interview with congressional investigators that, before his Oct. 17 phone call with Blinken, he had no intention to write the Oct. 19 Hunter Biden laptop letter. He testified “yes” and “absolutely” when asked if the call with Blinken, who was then a top adviser for Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, was what “triggered that intent in you.”
John Cauthen contributor to American Thinker: Military professionalism and culture are unique. These attributes are also crucial for the health of civil-military relations. “To despise the military” said political scientist Herbert Garfinkel, “is to open the way for an oppressive form of civilian supremacy that would ultimately endanger our democratic values by leaving the nation effectively defenseless.” We would do well to ponder this quote as we debate the wisdom of policies and programs like DIE in the military, the education of its personnel, and the development of a professional officer corps so critical to our national security.
GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET) & TRANSHUMANISM (HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED
Scott: AI’s pandemonium leaves global leaders scrambling
The lightning-fast arrival of chatbots and other eerily human AI tools is triggering a sudden, anxious call for new rules to rein in a technology that’s freaking a lot of people out. Right on cue, these proposals — many of which span national borders — are arriving. But they are also raising a big global question: Can any of them work together? This week, European politicians called for new rules for so-called generative AI— the technology behind the likes of ChatGPT and Google’s Bard — and also urged President Joe Biden and Ursula von der Leyen, his European Commission counterpart, to set up a global summit to develop global standards.

Bartee: Climate Change Terror Wrecks Gen Z’s Already-Fragile Psychology
Convincing an entire generation of impressionable adolescents and twenty-somethings, already saddled with very few viable economic prospects and TikTok addictions, that the Earth is on the verge of turning into an infertile desertland is a recipe for nihilistic rage. It’s no wonder they are so afflicted. Add on top of the fearmongering the narcissistic delusion that it’s up to Gen Z teenage know-nothings to save the Earth from the evil boomer carbon consumers and the antisocial rage builds. Believing sincerely that their birthright has been stolen by the greed of the older generation, why wouldn’t they be spiteful?
CORRUPT & DANGEROUS US INTELLIGENCE/ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS
Cleveland: EXPLOSIVE: Whistleblower Points To Biden Admin Obstructing Hunter Biden Tax Probe
id Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys in California and Washington, D.C., block the filing of criminal tax charges against Hunter Biden? Accusations levied by an IRS whistleblower on Wednesday suggest the federal prosecutors did just that, contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland’s recent congressional testimony and raising an avalanche of questions concerning the independence of the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office overseeing the Hunter Biden investigation. Given the severity of the claims, the U.S. attorney should speak up immediately. A cryptic letter sent to a slew of congressional committee chairs on Wednesday revealed an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower’s claims of political interference in the criminal investigation of a high-profile, politically connected individual. While the letter omitted the specific details the whistleblower sought to present to the oversight committees, unnamed sources reportedly confirmed the criminal case concerned Hunter Biden; they also revealed several more scandalous claims.

Kelly: Feds Still Fighting Release of J6 Tapes Despite Mounting Legal Pressure
Matthew Graves just received a court summons. As the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Graves is rarely on the receiving end of a legal inquiry. In fact, Graves’ hand must be tired from signing thousands of criminal indictments, sentencing memos, and plea offers related to his ongoing investigation into the events of January 6, 2021. Just this week, the FBI arrested two more individuals on minor offenses, giving Graves’ overstaffed office more fresh meat for the Justice Department’s vengeful retaliation against Americans who protested the certification of Joe Biden’s election that day. No investigative technique is too invasive for Graves’ henchmen to use in court proceedings. Big Tech, banking institutions, airlines, hotels, and other private interests work hand-in-glove with the Justice Department to hunt down Trump supporters and track their every movement before and on January 6. Much of the evidence consists of video footage captured by Capitol police’s closed-circuit television system during the breach of the building. Investigators routinely include still shots of the surveillance video in criminal complaints.
But now Graves is under pressure from all sides to make the video footage public.
U.S. SUPREME COURT
Pendley: Justice Neil Gorsuch Dissents From Judge Neil Gorsuch On Sovereign Immunity Ruling
The federal government owns a third of the country, and its borders with private landowners run well more than the distance to the moon. Yet for nearly 200 years, citizens and their attorneys had to invent novel legal theories to reclaim land from the United States, without whose permission no lawsuits are allowed. None worked, so Congress, with sole constitutional authority over federal lands, remedied the injustice with the Quiet Title Act (QTA) in 1972. Congress provided that the QTA was triggered when property owners “knew or should have known of the claim of the United States” to an adverse interest in their property, after which they had 12 years to sue to quiet title. Congress viewed the deadline as a waivable affirmative defense that the United States could assert. Over time, however, federal lawyers claimed it was more than that. They asserted, and many federal courts agreed, that a landowner’s failure to file within that period robbed federal courts of jurisdiction to hear the case. Moreover, federal lawyers broadly defined when property owners “should have known” to include: 1) claims of any interest, no matter how minor; 2) claims without evidence reasonably ascertainable by the landowner; and 3) claims denied by federal employees. Thus, when George arrived at the New Mexico federal district court, government lawyers argued that, despite the absence of any evidence of federal ownership in the deed she received, she “should have known” of the government’s claim.
JUDICIARY
Edwards: Federal judge declares “large capacity” magazines not protected by the Second Amendment
A U.S. District Judge in Washington, D.C. has declined to grant an injunction against the city’s ban on “large capacity” magazines, ruling that while magazines in general are “arms” protected by the Second Amendment, LCMs fall outside of the scope of the amendment because they’re a “poor fit” for self-defense purposes. The challenge to the District’s magazine ban, known as Hanson v. D.C., involves four legal gun owners from D.C. who all say that they would possess and carry “large capacity” magazines in their firearms if they weren’t banned by law. The District’s prohibition comes complete with a potential three-year prison sentence, though it’s unclear how often that sentence is handed down in practice, especially with D.C. prosecutors routinely deciding to decline charges in many illegal gun possession cases.

Reuters: House Passes Ban on Trans Athletes in Girls’ Sports
The House passed the measure by 219-203 but it has little chance of passing the Democratic-controlled Senate. President Joe Biden has also voiced his opposition to the bill, calling it discriminatory, and has vowed to veto it if needed. Still, the vote was a win for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy who hopes to keep his narrow Republican majority unified, as a fight over raising the nation’s $31.4 trillion debt ceiling and federal government funding looms.

Jeffries criticized the measure — claiming that all “kind-hearted Americans” stood with him in supporting trans-identifying children — and said that “extreme MAGA Republicans” were attempting to amplify an issue that “doesn’t exist.”

Sundance: National Pro-Life Organization Turns Against President Trump Because Delivering on Goal to Overturn Roe -v- Wade Wasn’t Good Enough
If you ever wanted to know how influential billionaire donors and the professional grift is amid the pro-life movement, this is a case study in the insanity of it. President Donald John Trump was the most pro-life President in U.S. history. President Trump outlined the platform policy of returning the issue of abortion to the states, and constructed all political endeavors to deliver on that pledge. President Trump was the first president to speak at the March for Life events in Washington DC and hold pro-life supporting events at the White House. Additionally, President Trump appointed three conservative pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, . . . […] However, Lila Rose, President and Founder of the Live Action network, is now deriding President Trump because he does not support reinstituting federal control over the issue of abortion and campaigning on a non-federalist platform of a nationwide abortion ban. […] Ms. Rose, in her official capacity as president of the Live Action organization appears to be influenced by the same billionaire donor class funding that supports the candidacy of Ron DeSantis.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY
Durden: Tibetan Police Mass-Collect DNA And Lawmakers Say U.S. Firm Is Helping
Thermo Fisher Scientific, a Massachusetts-based firm that manufactures analytical and laboratory products, chemicals, and supplies including those used in COVID test kits and vaccines, had previously ceased the sale of similar supplies to police in Xinjiang. It only did so, however, after scientists and human rights groups raised concerns that the supplies were possibly being used in elaborate human tracking and surveillance databases and schemes – or worse, to identify ideal involuntary organ donors among persecuted ethnic and religious minorities across China. Xinjiang is where Chinese authorities have incarcerated a million or more residents, mostly Uyghur Muslims, placing them into labor camps. Both the Trump and Biden administrations formally designated China’s systematic persecution of the Uyghur population as a genocide, specifically citing evidence that the Chinese government has slashed birth rates among Uyghurs and other minorities through forced sterilization and birth control. In 2019, the Trump administration prohibited the sale of American goods to most law enforcement agencies in Xinjiang unless the companies received a license. In 2020, several U.S. federal agencies issued a joint warning that companies selling biometric technology and other products in Xinjiang should be aware of the “reputational, economic and legal risks.” But in 2021, the New York Times discovered that DNA-collection tools made by two American companies, Thermo Fisher and Promega, were continuing to flow to the Xinjiang region, with sales occurring through Chinese companies that buy the products and resell them to the police in Xinjiang.More recently, the Intercept last fall uncovered a deal between Thermo Fisher and Tibetan police to purchase hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of DNA profiling kits and other supplies. That news broke shortly after two human rights groups documented vast Chinese government campaigns to collect DNA from ethnic Tibetans. […] In December, the bipartisan co-chairs of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China sent a letter to Thermo Fisher President and CEO Marc Casper asking him why the DNA kits and DNA sequencer replacement parts were sold directly to Tibetan police. […] “Biometric data – DNA and iris scans – of over a million Tibetans have been harvested and stored by the CCP,” said Smith. “Blood samples were drawn even from children in kindergarten.”
BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE U.S. MILITARY
Cauthen: DIE Means the Death of Military Professionalism
Recent studies and reporting have highlighted the military’s recruiting challenges for fiscal year 2022 with dire projections of future shortfalls in coming years. The reasons for recruiting deficits are many and complex, but one major factor is regressing civilian trust and confidence in the military. Since 2018, from record highs at the end of last century and into the post-9/11 era, positive civilian impressions of the military plummeted. This decreased trust is, in no small measure, due to bipartisan public perceptions of a politicized military from both the left and right. A 2022 Ronald Reagan Institute survey noted that half of respondents attributed military politicization to a “woke” agenda. It is a sentiment certainly shared by some in civilian leadership and many current military members and veterans. The Reagan Institute polling does not define “woke.” Ipsos polling, however, suggests that the meaning of “woke” can be fluid. Although “woke” may have different definitions, for many, it is associated prominently with Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE). These DIE initiatives have penetrated most major American institutions and are now openly and aggressively being implemented across the military services,

Anderson: Biden Pledges $1 Billion to UN Climate Fund That Funnels Millions to China
President Joe Biden is pledging $1 billion in taxpayer money to a United Nations climate fund that funnels millions of dollars to China, the world’s largest emitter of carbon and second-largest economy. Biden during a Thursday morning speech announced the contribution to the United Nations’ Green Climate Fund, saying the money will support “developing countries in taking stronger climate action.” Because the United Nations still classifies China, despite its massive economy, as a developing country, the communist nation receives significant Green Climate Fund money. The fund in November 2019 pledged $100 million to create a “Green Development Fund” in Shandong, China’s second most populated province. The Green Climate Fund disbursed $28 million to its Chinese partner in September 2022, and tens of millions of dollars are still poised to go out to the project, which will remain active through April 2042.
Sundance: About The New “Affordable Housing” Fees on Mortgages that Punish High Credit Borrowers
You may recently have seen this story: WASHINGTON DC – Homebuyers with good credit scores will soon encounter a costly surprise: a new federal rule forcing them to pay higher mortgage rates and fees to subsidize people with riskier credit ratings who are also in the market to buy houses. The fee changes will go into effect May 1 as part of the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s push for affordable housing, and they will affect mortgages originating at private banks across the country. The federally backed home mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will enact the loan-level price adjustments, or LLPAs. Mortgage industry specialists say homebuyers with credit scores of 680 or higher will pay, for example, about $40 per month more on a home loan of $400,000. Homebuyers who make down payments of 15% to 20% will get socked with the largest fees. (read more)

Trejo: California Moves Toward Criminalizing Criticism of Teachers Who Push Transgenderism on Kids in School
The state of California is considering legislation that would make it a misdemeanor crime, punishable with up to one year in jail, to criticize teachers who are pushing transgender indoctrination upon children in schools. SB 596, written by Sen. Anthony Portantino, will “address the issue of teachers facing harassment and aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all students and teachers.” […] The legislation states that “any person who subjects a school employee to threats or harassment while the employee is away from a schoolsite or after school hours for reasons related to the employee’s course of duties” could be fined as much as $1,000 and jailed for up to one year.

A 5th grade teacher locked horns with fellow guests and audience members during Dr. Phil amid a heated debate about whether schools should teach transgender ideology. Dr. Phil hosted an episode on Thursday over gender “inclusivity” in schools, ranging from tampons being given out in boys’ restrooms to curriculum teaching transgender ideology. One guest argued that tampons being given out in boys’ restrooms would be a massive help to those who don’t have their own money. A 5th grade teacher however, replied with basic biological fact. “Men do not menstruate. Only women menstruate,” the teacher named Ron declared.

O’Brien: Cutting Down a Flag Isn’t Hate, It’s Rebellion
More and more Americans are fed up with forced conformity. A viral video from April 2021 is non-violent and non-graphic, yet it continues to stir up controversy. Two years later, it intermittently bubbles back up to generate a new round of fury depending on the current mood in the country. The video depicts a student cutting down a Pride flag at Ridgeline High School in Utah’s Cache County School District. The lone male student is shown cutting the ties that hold the flag to a rail on the second floor above a commons area of the high school. Along the rail are hung all the official flags of countries and states from around the world. The Pride flag had been hung over the Puerto Rican flag. Once the Pride flag is cut loose and drops gently to the floor, a crowd of students below erupts in cheers. The incident led to immediate scandal in the school community and in the local media. In a world where only a week after any mass shooting event, when the media has moved on to the next story, and we can’t even remember the names of the victims, short videos like this may live online for years.

What qualities should medical schools look for in future doctors? Probably academic excellence, experience in the medical sector, loyalty to medical ethics, and good interpersonal skills. These are all characteristics that future doctors should have, but they’re not what medical schools now emphasize. Medical schools are looking for social justice zealots to advance the diversity, equity, and inclusion dogma. Look no further than medical school applications. Because it is the top-ranked medical school in the nation, Americans expect Harvard Medical School to share their concern for academic excellence. Excellence, however, is not Harvard’s focus; identity politics is. […] For Johns Hopkins, experience in a minority group seems to trump experience with a scalpel.

Jaeger: New study shows antidepressant use likely to INCREASE risk of suicide
The study, set to be published in the Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry journal, examined data from 7,829 Coroners’ Inquests in England and Wales over the past two decades that mentioned antidepressants. It revealed that just under half were determined to be suicides. According to the study, of the 3,543 deaths ruled by coroners to be suicides, 2,329 involved overdosing on drugs. The drugs in question were antidepressants in 933 such cases, and in over half of those, there were no other substances detected. Just over 900 other reports cited “unnamed medicines,” which could also have been antidepressants.

Blake & Anderson: Coroner rules AstraZeneca vaccine should be added to death certificate of ‘fit and healthy’ psychologist, 32, who suffered blood clot to the brain ten days after receiving the jab
A coroner has ruled that the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine should be added to the death certificate of a ‘fit and healthy’ NHS doctor who died ten days after receiving the jab. Dr Stephen Wright, 32, who worked as a clinical psychologist in south-east London, suffered a blood clot to the brain after having his first dose of the jab in January 2021. He was among the earliest groups of people to be given the vaccine during the pandemic. Senior coroner Andrew Harris today described the case as ‘very unusual and deeply tragic’. A small group of people, Dr Wright included, have had a severe reaction to the jab and health authorities are investigating, the inquest at London Inner South Coroner’s Court heard. There have been at least 75 confirmed deaths relating to Covid jabs recorded in the UK. The frontline worker is one of the latest to have ‘vaccine-induced thrombosis’ ruled as his cause of death.
