California’s ‘train-to-nowhere’ program started with a $10 billion budget in 2009 which shot up to $135 billion with no end in sight. The Trump administration has tried to cut off billions in federal funds for the money pit on rails and there are signs that even state voters are growing sick of it. But California Democrats had an answer. Around the same time that the CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery after an appearance with Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrating the progress of the ‘train-to-nowhere’, Democrats were moving forward a bill to ban the public from getting crucial information about the project whose budget is more than 5 times that of NASA. The cost of returning to the moon is estimated at under $100 billion. California is spending more than that on a rail project that still hasn’t gotten anywhere and which no one is interested in. California Democrat legislators had already become infamous for covering up their own corru...

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims”. With over 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims already occupying Japan, even though 95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration, a political explosion was bound to occur. Now, Japanese voters have delivered a striking defeat to the forces of mass migration with a stunning win for Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, whom the media has already taken to describing as a ‘Trumpian’ figure for opposing mass migration, her Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which won its largest victory to date, as did a number of other right-wing parties, including the one Kirk was addressing, demonstrating that voters were tired of mass migration. In Kawaguchi City, where so many Turkish Muslims now live on welfare that a Turkish candidate announced a run for mayor last year on a platfo...

In good news for breathing aficionados everywhere, the Trump administration is preparing for what Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin is calling “the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States” by finding that when you exhale, you’re not endangering the planet. For sixteen years it was settled law in the United States of America that not only was the earth endangered, all evidence to the contrary, but that exhaling carbon dioxide and emitting methane as well as nitrous oxide and water vapor were urgent threats to be regulated by the government. The Obama administration spent its first months in office fanatically rushing through a ‘scientific review’ by the EPA that declared that carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others were part of an ominous group known as “greenhouse gases” that had to be fought with every regulation necessary. The Obama EPA did thankfully exclude H20 or water vapor, probably the leading ‘greenhouse gas’ which...

The UN is facing “imminent financial collapse”, Secretary General Antonio Guterres clamored. “I cannot overstate the urgency of the situation we now face.” Promises, promises. To drive home the seriousness of it, they’re turning off the escalators and turning down the heat in the United Nations digs in Geneva. That’s the sort of thing that the UN’s global warming propaganda and agreements seek to force everyone to do anyway, but the only time the global body of globalists gets around to doing it is when they cry poverty to the rest of the world. How seriously should we be taking the UN’s thermostat theater? About as seriously as an Idaho amateur high school boys’ production of Harriet Tubman. The UN’s tricks depend on its pawns having no more memory than fruit flies and that’s usually a pretty reliable bet with politicians. But back in 2024, Secretary Guterres made a point of (supposedly) ordering the heat turned down at the UN headquarters in New York because there was (supposedly) no...

Senator Saddam claims that Virginia is in the middle of an ‘Islamophobia’ crisis. The second Muslim selected for the state senate, after Ghazala Hashmi, who is now acting as Virginia’s Lt. Governor, the Bangladeshi immigrant, from a country where non-Muslims are being murdered in the streets, has made complaining about ‘Islamophobia’ in his new home his signature issue. Sen. Saddam Azlan Salim’s first priority has been a bill to define ‘Islamophobia’. The most notable thing about his bill SB 624 ‘Assault and battery; definition of “Islamophobia”, penalty’ is how completely unnecessary it is. Virginia already has multiple layers of hate crimes enhancements for assaults motivated by race, ethnicity and religion. During Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s term, the legislature has already passed SB 7 (Senate Bill 7) and its counterpart enhancing the assault charge for anyone who “intentionally selects the person against whom a simple assault is committed because of his race, religious conviction, gend...

“I always tell people the day Latinos, African-American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning. Because we are the majority in this country. We have the ability to take over this country,” State Rep. ‘Gene’ Yuanzhi Wu, who serves as the Texas Democrat House Minority Leader, recently declared. Who is oppressing Wu? The Chinese immigrant came here from Guangzhou, graduated from law school and became one of the top officials in the state. Good luck to any American who wants to move to China, become a lawyer and run for public office. And if a non-Chinese immigrant were to suggest that minorities in China should ally together against their Chinese oppressors and take over, his organs would be for sale on Temu in 15 minutes or less. Rep. Wu represents a Houston district where a majority of the neighborhoods like Gulfton and Sharpstown are Hispanic and only a minority of residents are Chinese. Three out of four core neighborhoods h...

When a radical mob that included former CNN anchor Don Lemon broke into Cities Church in St. Paul to protest ICE, were they upholding or violating the First Amendment? According to everyone from Sen. Patty Murray to the International Press Institute, breaking into a church and interrupting a religious service is “First Amendment activity”. But if preventing other people from praying is “First Amendment activity” then what is the church service itself? First Amendment activity entails expressing your opinion, your belief or your religious practice, but the moment your actions interfere with and prevent someone else from engaging in their expression or activity while they are within their space, it’s an assault on their rights. The Left has normalized attacking churches and synagogues, like Adas Torah in Los Angeles , ‘occupying’ campuses and public buildings, even vandalizing them and assaulting employees and worshipers, while describing this vandalism and thuggery as “First Amendment ...

New York City would smell worse than it does if it weren’t so cold. And if it weren’t so cold. After urging New Yorkers to abandon their individualism for his “warmth of collectivism”, 16 homeless people are dead because of Mamdani’s progressive policy of letting them stay out in the cold, instead of escorting them to homeless shelters, but the survivors of his Gulag Games did get a consolation prize in the form of red capes with ‘Mayor Mamdani’ emblazoned on them that are thinner than his resume. But the same cold killing the homeless is also keeping the trash that has been piling up since Jan 24 from rotting so it doesn’t smell as bad as his policies. The city hasn’t had trash pickup for a third of Mamdani’s term. It’s also had a homeless death against every other day he’s been in office. Zohran Mamdani did promise to transform New York City, but few expected him to make it a frozen wasteland full of corpses and trash in one month. Even by Communist standards, this is fast work: some...
