MRIs and Forever Chemicals

new study shows that MRIs can leave toxic rare-earth minerals in your body for years.

When a patient goes for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, they sometimes get an injection of a fluid called gadolinium. The dye is like a highlighter around your organs, blood vessels and tissues to help the doctors see it all better.

Scientists found that oxalic acid, an organic compound found in humans and plant-based foods, can contribute to a buildup of gadolinium nanoparticles and contribute to complications and disease. Likewise, a previous contrast agent called Omniscan was also associated with complications “including nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.”

Patients with kidney failure are also at high risk for these highlighting agents. My grandfather’s health declined precipitously, accelerating his death after being exposed to one.

MRIs without the highlighting agents are an option though. You should be informed about this if you are asked to taken an MRI.

Deporting Americans Next?

President Trump said that he would like to deport U.S. citizens to El Salvadorian prisons but “we have to obey the laws.”

The President said this in a visit with El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele. The two leaders got on quite well, don’t you think?

The law is clear. You cannot deport an American citizen from U.S. soil. In rare cases, the U.S. has revoked passports of citizens while they were abroad such as Adam Gadahn, an American who became an al-Qaeda spokesperson, and Edward Snowden, NSA whistleblower, but not Americans who were on home soil.

This sentiment from President Trump is worrying given that legal residents of the U.S. have been denied due process and free speech. If this can be done to residents, can it be done to citizens?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this about the idea: “there are obviously legalities involved.” He continued: “We have a Constitution. But it’s a very generous offer … obviously, the administration will have to make a decision.”

Does he interpret citizenship laws to be at the digression of any one administration? Yikes!

Deporting Almost Citizens

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Palestinian man at his citizenship hearing on Monday to deport him to the West Bank. His name is Mohsen Mahdawi and they call him a Hamas supporter.

Does this sound like a Hamas supporter? In December of 2023, he said this to 60 Minutes: “The fight for freedom of Palestine and the fight against antisemitism go hand-in-hand because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

He organized protests at Colombia University and spoke about losing his relatives in violent deaths at the hands of the Israeli military. What about this speech says “Jew-hater” as Zionist activist group Betar Worldwide claims?

Mahdawi reportedly invited pro-Israel Columbia professor Shai Davidai to coffee but Davidai left the coffee abruptly and posted this on X about Mahdawi. Mahdawi was also featured on StopAntisemitism.org as the Antisemite of the Week in 2024. They accuse him of antisemitism for chanting “from the river to the sea” and calling Israel occupied territory and speaking about “right of return,” which means that Palestinians would return to the homes that Israel took from them. He called for freedom for the Palestinians “by any means necessary” and said that he can empathize with why Hamas would have launched an October 7 attack.

All of this would be allowed had Mahdawi been able to naturalize as an American but ICE made sure that he could not.

Is this doing anything to prevent antisemitism? It sure doesn’t seem like it. According to a new Pew survey, more people than ever before have an unfavorable view of Israel.

Negotiations with Iran

The U.S. and Iran will hold a second round of talks this upcoming weekend on April 19. The initial talks last Saturday appeared to be productive. No one was bombed. No nuclear sites were launched or destroyed. We’ll take that as progress.

The U.S. and Iran are trying to renew a nuclear agreement after President Trump withdrew from the last one during his first term.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Iran and the U.S. “got very close” to reaching what CNN calls a “framework for negotiations.” He said that the talks were “Constructive and promising” and “conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect.”

The White House called the talks “positive and constructive” and a “step forward in achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.”

Axios reports that the two sides could even meet in the same room rather than hold discussions through a mediator.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has continued to launch airstrikes in Yemen, the most recent was reportedly a ceramic factory, resulting in at least six deaths. The U.S. says that it will wipe out the Houthis but the Houthis are more resolved than ever, continuing to launch attacks on U.S. drones and warships.

Tariffs: Was This The Play All Along?

President Trump put a 90-day pause for tariffs on at least 75 countries that have opened negotiations with the White House. China is not one of them. For China, he raised to tariff to 125%, effective immediately and China responded with an 84% tariff on the U.S.

Additionally, he lowed the reciprocal tariffs to 10% for everyone who is not China.

The stock market rallied on this news. It makes it all the more clear that the tariffs were an opening offer to force countries to make a better deal. This seems to have been his plan all along.

In fact, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett said exactly that on Wednesday at the White House: “This was his strategy all along.”

Investor and early Facebook founder Chamath Palihapitiya predicts that tariffs are also a tactic to transfer wealth back to the middle class. He calls it an economic NATO but just for the U.S., not for a block of countries.

Pray for Peace Talks

It will be an important weekend for Iranian diplomacy as President Trump sends an envoy to speak with diplomats from Iran in Oman.

President Trump indicated that Israel could lead the U.S. into military action with Iran but then clarified that no one leads the U.S. into war because we do what we want.

“If it requires military, we’re going to have military,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “Israel will obviously be very much involved in that — it’ll be the leader of that. But nobody leads us. We do what we want to do.”

Then why did Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu send his demands for the talks via a video message? He says that he wants for Iran what happened to Libya.

The U.S. caused regime change in Libya by forcing the country to blow up their own nuclear facilities under U.S. supervision and then using NATO to assassinate former leader Muammar Gaddafi. Libya was prospering before the U.S. got involved. President Trump has criticized Hillary Clinton for leading this charge against Libya. Would he turn around and do it to Iran?

Netanyahu also said that another possibility is that Iran would “drag out the talks, and then there is the military option.” He’s hardly one to talk about dragging out peace talks, having demurred on ceasefire talks with Gaza for 18 months.

According to recent reports, Israel hit another civilian neighborhood in Gaza, killing at least 30 people including 8 children.

Measles Propaganda

The media is crazed about the measles outbreak in Texas after two children died but when you look into the case of the children’s deaths, the real fear is medical incompetence, not the measles. This story is terrifying but measles is the least of it.

The most recent death involved a young girl who had been hospitalized with a blood infection after suffering from tonsillitis complicated by chronic mononucleosis. When she was brought into the hospital, the father asked for inhaled budesonide by nebulizer but the staff treated her as if she was suffering from COVID and treated her with steroids instead. Like the first little girl, the staff missed things that could have been treated with antibiotics and the girls suffered and died. The first death involved a similar tale of missteps including the wrong antibiotic.

These are not scary stories about measles. They’re scary stories about doctors and hospitals and there is a productive way to learn from them but not with media scare tactics about measles vaccines. Did you know that medical error has been shown to be the THIRD leading cause of death in the U.S.!?

There have been measles outbreaks in Europe and Canada too but they don’t have the hysteria and push towards vaccination that has broken out in the U.S. Why do you think that is?

DHS Is Watching Your Socials!

Immigrants to the United States can say what they want about Christians, white people, black people, hispanics. But they cannot have ever said anything that the government considers “antisemitic” or they will have their visas denied.

The Department of Homeland Security admits that it will scan the social media of immigrant applicants and use it as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests.

“This will immediately affect aliens applying for lawful permanent resident status, foreign students and aliens affiliated with educational institutions linked to antisemitic activity,” the government says.

Again…why just this one group? Why can applicants have negative attitudes about all other groups but this one?

This may explain why elite universities say that they have had their students’ visas canceled by the government without explanation.

Ukraine’s War Play

Ukrainian President Zelensky admitted that Ukraine has been attacking inside Russian borders for the first time. This is something President Biden promised Ukraine would never do but they’ve been doing it all along.

Zelensky also claimed on X that Chinese citizens are “fighting as part of the Russian army.” He posted a video of a man he claims the Ukrainian army captured fighting for Russia.

A few months ago, he claimed that North Korean nationals were also fighting for Russia. Ukraine uses mercenary armies from over 50 countries, including the U.S., Canada, U.K. and France so why would this matter?

Zelensky is clearly desperate to escalate the war with Russia and evade peace. Another peace enjoy is reportedly coming to the U.S. It would be wise to exclude the President of Ukraine from this envoy.

New Justice Department filings against Ryan Routh, the man who tried to shoot President Trump in Florida last year, show that he believed he was communicating with a Ukrainian officials prior to the assassination attempt, trying to get himself a “stinger or RPG” for the attack.

There is no proof that the person was actually from Ukraine but there is also no proof that they were not. Ukraine sells or loses at least half of the weapons that are sent from abroad.

While Zelensky stalls for peace, Russia reports that it will participate in the second round of peace talks with the U.S. on April 10 in Istanbul. Russia also says that it plans to deploy more “several hundred ground-based robots to the Russian military” so…not a moment too soon, eh?

Iran Wants Goodwill Gesture

President Trump said that peace talks will begin with Iran this weekend in Oman. Iran reportedly says that they would like to see a “goodwill gesture” from the U.S. first. By this, they mean relief from sanctions.

The Obama administration put horrific sanctions on Iran for the entire 8 years they were in the White House without ever proving that Iran had a nuclear weapon. Read this demon’s justification of it in the book The Art of Sanctions if you want to know more about it.

The Trump administration has also not proved that Iran has a nuclear weapon but wants to come up with an alternative to the Iran nuclear deal, formerly known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The deal was put in place by the Obama administration and it involved Iran’s promise to curb nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief. President Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018 and reimposed those sanctions. President Biden was never able to negotiation a new one but…he didn’t really try.

What if the Trump administration replaces the sanctions with tariffs? Would we all be happy then?

Bad News For The Flu Shot

A new Cleveland Clinic study found that the 2024-2025 flu vaccine did not prevent influenza. Quite the contrary, actually, those who took it were MORE LIKELY to get infected.

Here is the study. Read it for yourself.

It was published by doctors from the Cleveland Clinic but it has not yet been peer reviewed given the data was collected through March 26.

The employees of the Cleveland Clinic were required to get the flu shot so 82% of them did. They followed up with 53,000 employees and found that the vaccinated and unvaccinated were getting infected with the flu at an even pace but “over the course of the study the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. In an analysis adjusted for age, sex, clinical nursing job, and employment location, the risk of influenza was significantly higher for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated state.”

They say that the vaccine effectiveness may have waned or may not have included the most prevalent strain of flu. But that is a problem every year. Vaccine makers come up with the formulation in the spring and make their best guess as to which strains to include that they think will be prevalent in the coming months. They can never accurately predict.

A few weeks ago, the FDA approved the 2025-2026 flu vaccine and it contains strains of flu that are dominant in the world now.

It is worth noting that the annual flu vaccine does not go through clinical trials. It also is not tested as to whether or not it stops infection in humans. It is only tested to see if recipients produce antibodies.

From this study alone, it is clear we need more research about why we mandate the flu vaccine if it is this ineffective and may in fact make people MORE likely to get the flu.

Stock Market Plunges

The stock market fell into the red on Tuesday after regaining losses on Monday. The consensus is that no one knows what will happen once the Trump administration’s tariffs go into place and Wall Street doesn’t like uncertainty.

President Trump said that he is willing to put a 104% tax on China and China basically said: Bring it.

“China is not a seeker of trouble. But make no mistake: when challenged, we will never back down. Intimidation and threats never work with China,” read a statement by the Lin Jian, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson.

The President also announced that he will put tariffs on pharmaceuticals. At an event on Tuesday, he said this: “We’re going to tariff our pharmaceuticals and once we do that they’re going to come rushing back into our country because we’re the big market… So we’re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals and when they hear that, they will leave China, they will leave other places because they have to – most of their product is sold here and they’re going to be opening up their plants all over our country.”

Guess who that would hurt badly? Europe. Many pharmaceuticals sold in the U.S. are made in Europe, India and China. CEOs from Big Pharma in Europe issued this panicked statement to European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen saying that Europe must change the way it does business to compete with the U.S. or risk losing billions of Euros of investment.

Grey Monday

Monday was not Black Monday with a major stock market fall out, as predicted by CNBC’s Jim Cramer and about every other corporate media outlet. Instead, markets ended up for the day.

The market was up at the end up Monday so Cramer explained it…this way. I don’t even know what he’s saying really. I think he’s saying it’s not that big of a deal actually and we’re not heading for such a bad time. On second thought, don’t sell everything, he’s saying.

Maybe the tariff plan is not so bad. European Commissioner Ursula Von Der Leyen now says that Europe will offer the U.S. a zero-for-zero tariff deal and there are reports that more than 70 countries have called the White House to negotiate their own trade deals. Considering there were 100 tariffs announced, that’s a 70% success rate in just a few days so…could it work?

Friends Of Israel

By the looks of it, President Trump declined to ask Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the American citizen that was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers just days ago in the West Bank. Or the 15 medics that were murdered by the Israeli Defense Force. Or the civilians that were killed in Gaza in the last week.

Instead, he gave him a tour of the White House where large framed photos of the two leaders are mounted and reiterated that the U.S. is “a friend of Israel … It’s an honor to be so.”

And while it would seem that there is a bestie relationship here, the meeting was not a home run success for Netanyahu.

The President and Prime Minister held a “bilateral meeting” but did not take press questions in a podium format. That was reportedly canceled.

Netanyahu says that they would “eliminate the trade deficit with the United States. We intend to do it very quickly. We think it’s the right thing to do and we’re going to also eliminate trade barriers.”

When the President was asked if he would lift tariffs on Israel as a result, he said he doesn’t actually think he needs to since the U.S. gives Israel $4 billion per year.

President Trump also says that “direct talks with Iran” are planned for this upcoming Saturday in order to avoid a war. He says that a war with Iran is “not something that I want to be involved with or frankly that Israel wants to be involved with.”

The Israeli people want to avoid a war. Does Netanyahu know that?

One TRILLION Dollar Defense Budget

 

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth thanked President Trump for “the first TRILLION dollar
@DeptofDefense budget.”

The President mentioned this in his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Secretary Hegseth added this postscript: “we intend to spend every taxpayer dollar wisely — on lethality and readiness.”

One area that DOGE has been silent on is bloated military contracts, which we know are a reality. A 2023 CBS News investigation uncovered that the Pentagon was billed $71 for a pin that previously cost less than a nickel, and $80 for a drainpipe segment valued at $1.41. Does the defense budget expansion mean that these inflated prices have not been addressed?

China has a military that is approximately twice the size of the U.S. military with approximately one third the budget. Why do you think that is?

The Pentagon has failed every audit since 2018. Perhaps we should see some public accountability before championing a bigger budget.

Fluoride Out

 

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. says that he plans to instruct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending water fluoridation nationwide. This. Is. Necessary!

The U.S. government has known that fluoride is a neurotoxin for decades and actively fought to keep that data suppressed. For more on this, read this book: “The Fluoride Deception.”

Fluoride is toxic waste when it is a byproduct in industry and yet it is knowingly added to prevent cavities in humans, even though there is little data that it does even that. In fact, fluoride causes dental fluorosis, the spots on human teeth.

Secretary Kennedy says that he will develop a task force to continue to address fluoride in water.

Last year, Kennedy promised that “the Trump White House [would] advise all U.S​. water systems to remove fluoride from public water” on Day One of the Trump administration. He added that “fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease.”

Well, it’s a few months late but better late than never.

Hands Off

 

Anti-Trump protests happened in all 50 states this weekend. It was called the Hands Off protest.

According to the organizers, Hands Off is a “nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history. Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are orchestrating an all-out assault on our government, our economy, and our basic rights—enabled by Congress every step of the way.”

The event was sponsored by many progressive organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Greenpeace, Women’s March and the Human Rights Campaign.

According to Business Insider, “the crowd looked older, with middle-aged Americans seeming to outnumber the 20-somethings that dominated rallies during the pandemic. It makes sense since many Americans are watching their retirement savings dwindle in the face of crashing markets and worry that staff cuts to the Social Security Administration could impact the crucial safety net.

While the anti-government protests held during Trump’s first term focused on social issues — like abortion and civil rights issues — many of the signs today targeted the economy.”

It also could be because younger people wanted the system to be dismantled. That’s what they’ve been calling for these last four years and they’re getting it, aren’t they?

Tariff Deals

 

The White House says that more than 50 countries have reached out to the U.S. to come to make a deal over tariffs.

Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said that these negotiations will happen fast so price changes will not much affect the American consumer.

“They’re doing that because they understand that they bear a lot of the tariff,” he said.

We don’t know which countries have done this other than Thailand and Taiwan. American markets have not shown enthusiasm for this as progress. Dow Futures are still down significantly for Monday. Crude oil prices dropped approximately 6% on fears of a recession. This could mean cheaper gas but it could also mean a full market collapse so, glass half full, ya’ know?

Did the U.S. hit civilians too?

 

President Trump bragged about killing a group of “Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack,” along with aerial footage of the U.S. murdering a group of people.

“Oops,” said the President. “There will be no attack by these Houthis! They will never sink our ships again!”

The Houthis have never sunk an American ship. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for attacks on U.S. ships though.

How can we be sure that these people were planning an attack on U.S. ships? The last U.S. attack on Yemen killed civilians too so we should demand proof that civilian deaths are being avoided. And how do we know that this was a group of military combatants? Many are saying that these men were in a traditional tribal formation and they are not combatants.

President Obama came up with the precedent of calling any male of military age that was killed by the American military a “combatant.” Americans must be vigilant that this never happens again.

Civilians. They’re Dying.

 

Israel was caught in a lie over the death of 15 emergency medical workers in Gaza on March 23.

The BBC says that “Israel changes account.” No. They were caught lying due to footage.

Israel originally claimed that it fired on the car because it approached “suspiciously” without headlights or flashing lights. The video footage shows that wasn’t true.

Israel’s next explanation is that they were “linked to Hamas – but has so far provided no evidence. It admits they were unarmed when the soldiers opened fire.”

Over the weekend, a U.S.-backed Israeli airstrike hike Gaza again, killing at least 43 children, including civilians in the al-Tuffah neighborhood. Again, the images are just awful. This after Israel hit a school in the same area where displaced families were sheltering. Dozens were killed, including children.

Last week, Israel reported that a 17-year-old boy who was imprisoned for allegedly throwing stones at soldiers died after collapsing in prison even though he was never charged with a crime. A report on his autopsy shows that he starved to death in an Israeli prison.

Israeli officials say that this is all part of the plan to “eliminate Hamas,” followed by “a large-scale opportunity for voluntary migration.”

Why would the Palestinian people have to leave Gaza if Hamas were eliminated?

Hamas reportedly fired “10 rockets at southern Israel on Sunday night in the largest such barrage in months.” Israel disrupted at least five of them but “a 30-year-old man was lightly injured by shrapnel,” according to The Times of Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the U.S. on Sunday for a visit with President Trump. Over the weekend, the Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed documents that they claim “prove” that Iran funded October 7. He claims that the documents were found in the tunnels of Gaza.

Liberation Day Tariffs

 

As expected, Liberation Day was about reciprocal tariffs. President Trump announced a list of tariffs that will be put on imports for countries that charge the U.S. tariffs on exports.

As you can see, it is not exactly reciprocal. China charges 67% on U.S. products but the new tariffs on Chinese products are only 34%. Still, that’s 34% more than cheap Chinese goods were before so that’s gunna hurt.

The White House also ended “duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value imports from China.” That means no more cheap things from Temu. Those items will have to be treated like other imports, tariffs and all. That’s a pretty big deal.

“For generations, countries have taken advantage of the United States,” the White House press account said on X. “No longer. President Trump is implementing reciprocal tariffs to increase our competitive edge, protect our sovereignty, and strengthen our national and economic security.”

It is embarrassing to see how unfavorable many countries are to U.S. products but is this the way to allow American companies to compete globally? Kentucky Senator Rand Paul calls this executive overreach. He says that this will amount to a tax on American families and “one person is not allowed to raise taxes—the constitution forbids it.” He also says that this will cost Republicans dearly in upcoming elections.

“On many fronts, I’m a supporter of the president,” he said. “On tariffs, I think it’s economically a fallacy to think it will help the country. Tariffs are a tax.”

Asian markets and U.S. exchanges were all down on this news.

War In The Middle East

 

Israel bombed a UN-run clinic on Wednesday. At least 22 people are reported dead including 9 children and a newborn baby. This was an UNRWA clinic, which Israel has repeatedly claimed is linked to Hamas. They say that the clinic was a Hamas “command and control center.”

The images are horrific. Hamas says that everyone inside the building were civilians.

Israel also ramped up the ground attacks in Gaza on Wednesday after they stated clearly that intend to “capture extensive territory that will be added to the State of Israel’s security areas.”

There are new reports that Israel is working with the U.S. to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities in just a few weeks. Israeli sources told The Daily Mail that President Trump is the best partner in this goal that they could hope for in the White House.

“From Israel’s perspective, with Trump in the White House, this represents the optimum moment to deal with Iran. There won’t be a better chance,” the official said.

Iran has repeatedly declared that these are nuclear POWER plants, not nuclear weapons plants and they have worked with the IAEA on inspections but some dangerous people want a war with Iran so this dangerous rhetoric persists.

AmazonTok?

 

Amazon made a bid to buy TikTok on Wednesday.

Jeff Bezos, who attended the Trump inauguration and has a personal relationship with the Trump White House, submitted an offer to buy the social network and the White House has confirmed that their received the letter.

Former State Department whistleblower Mike Benz says that “this retroactively makes the past 6 months make sense.” Like it was all a game to concentrate this power into the hands of a tech oligarch.

ByteDance, the only Chinese company that currently owns TikTok (not to be confused with the Chinese government) will still retain 19.9% of TikTok, which is just below the 20% threshold limiting Chinese ownership outlined in Congress’s law. There is no word if them and the other investors want to sell a controlling stake to Amazon.

President Trump’s executive offer to keep TikTok in the U.S. expires this weekend so something has to happen before then.

The short-term ban that took place in January did cost TikTok users. The company has begun to lose young users to Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts.

Is This Girl Power?

 

We are being invited to be inspired by these women because they are “the all-star lineup of Blue Origin’s historic all-female space crew.” It is manufactured feminism and it makes me a little mad.

First, the word “crew” is generous. A flight crew is usually the personnel responsible for operating and managing an aircraft during a flight. The Blue Origin rocket that these gals will be on flies itself so they are passengers, not exactly a crew.

And we are told that they were chosen by Lauren Sanchez, the fiance of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, because “of their proven ability to inspire others.” Really?

CBS News anchor Gayle King has repeatedly said that she doesn’t want to go because she’s terrified so what inspiring message is that for us gals? Let other people pressure you into dangerous things?

This Elle profile of the flight really had me with this line: “Based on the statistics of women and space exploration, it’s evident the representation is needed. Not only has it been over 60 years since women (or technically just a woman) traveled to space without men, but women also only make up about 11 percent of those who’ve ventured into space in total.”

Why is this a problem exactly? And why are they treating this like such an accomplishment when all they are going to do is sit there? And why is this article so heavy on the hair and makeup tips? And also, do you need a bra in space?

Happy Liberation Day

 

Today is Liberation Day in the U.S., as declared by President Trump but we don’t exactly know what that means yet. We know it means tariffs for other countries but…is there a cuisine we should eat to celebrate or a ritual of sorts for the rest of us?

I don’t think it is that kind of holiday. It is an economic milestone when the Trump administration will set taxes on imports from other countries that tax U.S. exports. He calls them “reciprocal” tariffs.

Not all Republicans support the President on this one. Senator Rand Paul co-sponsored a bill to terminate the emergency legislation that will place tariffs on Canada. Other Republicans have joined the efforts to stop the tarriffs, which President Trump said would “let the Democrats have a Victory. It would be devastating for the Republican Party and, far more importantly, for the United States.”

Economists are divided on the tariff idea so there really is no way to know what will happen. The best we can do right now is…hold on. Like we have been.

Deportation Error

 

The Trump administration admitted that it accidentally deported the wrong guy but it’s okay because that guy was a gang member.

The case involves a man named Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. He was sent to the megaprison in El Salvador that Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem showed off last week. His wife saw him in a news report about the prison and pointed him out to the government.

“Although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,” the court document says.

Trump cabinet members are arguing that the man was an MS-13 gang member with “no legal right to be here.”

But how do they know that he was a gang member? Was he convicted of gang membership or gang-related crime? He wasn’t. In a 2019 immigration proceeding, a confidential informant claimed he was a gang member and said that his clothing was proof.

Abrego Garcia refutes this. He is a father with no criminal record, a union sheet metal worker and he complied with his regular ICE checkins.

The police never followed up for evidence so none of us can truly know. That is why we need due process for every human being created by God. The government is not God and should not have the power to do this. As Reason reporter Liz Wolfe put it: “We hold ourselves to a higher standard than that, we believe in due process here, and that’s what makes America great. There will be political consequences to Trump admin’s sloppiness.”

The ACLU says that the government has a list of how it identifies gangmembers including “high-end urban street wear,” Michael Jordan’s basketball jersey, and “sports attire from U.S. professional sports teams with Venezuelan nationals on them” as Tren de Aragua identifiers.

Economy Is…Good?

 

New data shows that the economy was good in the first month of President Trump’s second term. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Personal Income and Outlays Report show that consumer spending was up .4% in February 2025.

Also, incomes were up by .9%. According to the report, “personal income increased $194.7 billion (0.8 percent at a monthly rate) in February, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Disposable personal income (DPI)—personal income less personal current taxes—increased $191.6 billion (0.9 percent) and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $87.8 billion (0.4 percent).”

Maybe it was because the liberal Economic Blackout handing started yet? That began on February 28 so until then, Americans were making more money and spending more money.

Economist Peter St. Onge said that this could still lead to a paper recession because these numbers are maybe a little “too good.” He says that there should be a bigger hangover from the Biden administration.

But will this economic upturn last through new tariff wars?

Transphobic Toddlers?

 

How can a 3 year old get kicked out of school for being transphobic? That is what happened in the U.K, according to The Telegraph:

“Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity.”

How in the world can a 3 or 4 year old abuse someone’s gender orientation? A safe guess would be that a young child saw that his or her classmate was clearly a boy or a girl but pretending to be otherwise and pointed that out.

The Telegraph goes on: “statistics show that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.” They don’t give further details on the case but to protect gender identity to the point of kicking children out of schools is outrageous.

The Prime Minister’s office responded to this by saying “Obviously, the Prime Minister would not support those sorts of measures. But equally, I don’t know the specific incident.”

Iran Threatens “Strong Counterattack

 

Iran says that it will respond with a “strong counterattack” if provoked by the U.S. after President Trump threatened to bomb Iran over the weekend.

“We are not moving towards (nuclear) weapons, but if you do something wrong in the Iranian nuclear issue, you will force Iran to move towards that because it has to defend itself,” said Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Iran does not want to do this, but … (it) will have no choice.”

Iran has complied with all international uranium inspections and repeatedly said that it has no nuclear weapons. Where is President Trump getting this notion that they have a nuclear weapon? We’ve searched and searched for proof and come up empty.

The U.S. has at least 10 bases in Iran that would be vulnerable to a counterattack with at least 50,000 troops there. The best way to prevent them from being retaliated against is to not do something that would provoke retaliation, right?

Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to carry out daily airstrikes in Yemen, while blaming the Iranians for arming the Houthis.

Ron Paul says this about all of this renewed war rhetoric out of the Trump administration: “This reminds me of all the promises of George H. W. He was very promising that we were not be the policeman of the world and what did we end up as?”

Undemocratic Europe

 

Europe has decided to go all in on punishing political opponents. In France, opposition leader Marine Le Pen was banned for standing office for five years and sentenced to jail after being convicted of embezzling funds. This would block her from taking the presidency in 2027, which she was on track to do.

She stormed from the courtroom before the verdict was read and muttered the word “Unbelievable.” On X, she vowed to continue fighting injustice until the end.

It is would be foolish to see this as an impartial trial. She was tried for financial records between the years 2004 to 2016, so nine years later she gets a verdict! She was accused of using EU funds for parliamentary assistants but she argued that their work blurred the lines between EU duties, especially as she is a member of parliament. She took nothing for herself and the punishment is harsher than other cases of this kind.

She joins the ranks of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Imran Khan in Pakistan, Matteo Salvini in Italy, and Calin Georgescu in Romania: modern opposition leaders jailed as they were poised to take office.

They want to punish Hungary’s Victor Orbán too if they can only figure out how. The incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz has drafted laws to demand the E.U. “withhold funds and suspend voting rights from countries that violate key principles such as the rule of law.” That could mean anything but Politico says that it is a clear shot at Hungary for continually opposing the liberal agenda.

Harvard Is The Next to Fall


The Trump administration is reviewing nearly $9 billion in federal grants at Harvard while it investigates how the university has handled antisemitism.

“This administration has proven that we will take swift action to hold institutions accountable if they allow anti-Semitism to fester,” said Josh Gruenbaum, an official with the General Services Administration and a member of the government’s recently formed antisemitism task force. “We will not hesitate to act if Harvard fails to do so.”

What is it that Harvard is supposedly guilty of? There are no reports of violence. In November of 2023, pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel students confronted each other and there were allegations of harassment and doxxing by both sides. Why is only one group’s interest being represented by the Trump administration?

Colombia University had its funding targeted by the Trump administration a few days ago and capitulated to government demands to review policies towards Jewish students and “reviewing the portfolio of regional studies programs, starting immediately with those that teach about the Middle East and Israel.”

In a congressional hearing on Monday, Rabbi Levi Shemtov told the senate that it is “not enough to be not anti-Semitic.” He said that “one must be anti-anti-Semitic.”

This is the rebirth of neo-racism, the antiracist rhetoric that took hold during the Biden administration has since been shown to be racist: ranking people by race and skin color to bestow privileges on some and not others.

Cleaning Up D.C.

President Trump promised to clean up Washington D.C. He meant that quite literally.

recent executive order calls for “making the District of Columbia safe and beautiful.”

“As the capital city of the greatest Nation in the history of the world, it should showcase beautiful, clean, and safe public spaces. America’s capital must be a place in which residents, commuters, and tourists feel safe at all hours, including on public transit.  Its highways, boulevards, and parks should be clean, well-kept, and pleasant.  Its monuments, museums, and buildings should reflect and inspire awe and appreciation for our Nation’s strength, greatness, and heritage.  Our citizens deserve nothing less,” the order says.

This calls for tougher policies on crime, more policing on public transportation, and increasing “the speed and [lowering] the cost of processing concealed carry license requests in the District of Columbia.” It will also call for fast removal of graffiti and removal of homeless encampments on public parks.

Gaza Occupation Is A Go

Israel’s Minister of Defense warned that the IDF is planning to “operate with full force in additional areas of Gaza.” In a post addressed directly to the people of Gaza, he says that they “will be asked to evacuate from combat zones for your own safety. The plans are already prepared and approved.”

Prepared and approved by who? He doesn’t say. He only says that Gaza is on its way to being fully occupied by Israel.

He says that the people of Gaza should “demand the removal of Hamas from Gaza and the immediate release of all Israeli hostages—this is the only way to stop the war.” He accuses Hamas of “putting your lives at risk, causing you to lose your homes and more and more territory that will be integrated into Israel’s defense formation.”

The word integrated is telling, isn’t it? This does not indicate a military mission. This means the land will become Israeli and that has been “prepared and approved.”

War Plans Text Chain

The full text chain for the bombing in Yemen was published by The Atlantic and it is not something the Trump administration has been able to adequately explain. In fact, they tried to flat out lie it away.

Secretary of defense Pete Hegseth said this when asked: “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”

He’s parsing words. It wasn’t a war because no one fought back. It was an attack on targets who were in civilian infrastructure. One target was said to be at his girlfriend’s apartment. Why did the U.S. consider the other people living there to be acceptable collateral kills? Assassinations and bombing civilians is against international law.

What’s more, it seems like these were piloted aircraft with weapons that were fired remotely.

This is not fighting terrorism. It is terrorism. Why did the Trump administration do it and why did they do it so goonishly?

Deportation “Stories”

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador and published this video about it. It has one hell of a dystopian optic!

“I want everybody to know, if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face… This facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people,” she said.

She is standing in front of tattooed gang members, presumably bad dudes. But are we sure? Did these people have due process? We were told that they were the worst of the worst but we were told that about the people in Guantanamo Bay too and that turned out to be a lie. The American people should not be unwitting participants in another Guantanamo Bay.

The Trump administration is also fighting to deport university students who protested on behalf of Palestinians. A Turkish woman at Tufts University was detained because the government says that she “engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans.” New video shows her being approached by non-uniformed people in masks and put in an unmarked van. The government is still fighting to deport Mahmoud Khalil on slim evidence.

The point is: The U.S. government is arresting people for speech violations. The U.S. government tortured innocent people in Guantanamo Bay without due process. Are we being asked to cheer for the punishment of tattooed banditos to hide these facts or is this exactly what it seems? When is anything in politics ever exactly as it seems?

Climate Shift

“Climate change is going to fade from view like overpopulation did.” That is the headline from journalist Michael Shellenberger and political scientist Roger Pielke Jr.

It seems they are right. Two days ago I typed “climate change” into Google and the search engine returned a search for “climate variability.” I was floored. Google is pretending that it always viewed climate change as a naturally occurring phenomenon, which it is. That’s a lie! Google promoted the “climate crisis” by partnering with the United Nations to pervert search results with alarmist information.

What the climate narrative seems to be accepting is that the Earth’s atmosphere goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling and no one was ever able to prove human responsibility for it. In fact, a new paper in the journal Science of Climate Change disproved it. The paper used AI models to reveal that “human CO₂ emissions, constituting a mere 4% of the annual carbon cycle, are dwarfed by natural fluxes.”

The paper also asserts that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) uses faulty models to predict climate outcomes and humans’ roles in them. This was explained in detail in this book by veteran climate researcher Judith Curry: “Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response.”

The sad part about this narrative shift is how many people were made anxious based on junk science and alarmism and how many books you have to read to refute the utter crap that Google and the media have been serving up. We should never forgive them. I don’t.

Protests for Peace on Both Sides

The simultaneous protests in Gaza and Jerusalem are a beautiful reminder that people are not their governments. These are humans that want and deserve the same thing: peace.

Hundreds gathered in Gaza on Tuesday chanting “Hamas out” and “Hamas terrorists.”

“Hamas is demanding our people to remain steadfast. But how can we remain steadfast when we’re dying and bleeding,” one protester is reported to have said.

In Jerusalem, thousands are still rallying outside the residents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding a hostage deal. The sister of freed hostage Yarden Bibas, whose wife and two young sons were murdered in captivity, spoke out saying to the Israeli government: “Don’t offer condolences, bring forth a deal.” She said that “military pressure kills the hostages, military pressure raises the casualties.”

According to the Times of Israel, police “forcibly removed several protesters from outside the Knesset, and images and footage showed police officers dragging demonstrators one by one.”

Crossfire Hurricane Declassified

President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum requiring “the immediate declassification of all FBI files relating to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”

Crossfire Hurricane is the name the FBI gave to the investigation it opened into the Trump campaign. It was named after the 1986 Penny Marshall film Jumpin’ Jack Flash, which was related to a Rolling Stones song with the lyrics: “I was born in a crossfire hurricane.”

The Crossfire Hurricane operation was the brainchild of the ruling class, originally meant to smear the 2016 Trump campaign and later to delegitimize Trump as President. It involved a lot of dirty play on the part of CIA director John Brennan, FBI director James Comey, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, President Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Adam Schiff and many more people. They did in fact spy on the Trump campaign and they did in fact open investigations based on flimsy if not downright fake intel and they dragged people’s lives through the hell for it.

Current FBI director Kash Patel was one of the main investigators who brought Crossfire Hurricane to light so he knows and he told us what he could in his book Government Gangsters but there is surely more classified information that we should see. Will the government make a case against the actors who used the Justice Department in this way? They should.

Hitler Didn’t Kill Himself

Argentina will declassify documents related to Nazis in Argentina after World War II. This could include proof that Adolph Hitler himself was one of them.

This will surprise non-conspiracy knowers but not us Redacted readers! There is copious proof that Hitler did not kill himself. In fact, the skull fragment that was supposedly from his self-inflicted gunshot turned out to be female while the blood samples were male. This couldn’t have been from his companion Eva Braun because she supposedly died by cyanide.

A great rundown of the many holes in the story of Hitler’s death can be found on the History Channel’s Hunting Hitler. They prove without a doubt that Hitler and several other senior Nazi officials did in fact continue socialist activities in South America.

So what else is there to know? Well, what did the Argentine government know about this? Did the U.S. government? (They did.) Why was this kept from the world during the Nuremberg Trials? How did this affect the Jewish immigrants that fled Europe to settle in South America?

Argentine President Javier Milei announced that these documents would be made public during a meeting with representatives from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an international human rights organization that combats antisemitism.

Energy Colonialism


Serious students of climate science know that developed nations peak in energy demand and carbon emissions and subsequently decline as the technology advances. The U.S. and Britain both hit those peaks between 2007 and 2018 and a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that China has too.

“In China, growth in energy demand slowed to under 3% in 2024, half the rate in 2023 and well below China’s average annual growth of 4.3% in recent years,” the report says. “Emissions growth in China slowed in 2024, though per-capita emissions are now 16% higher than in advanced economies and nearly twice the global average.”

The IEA now warns that “emerging and developing economies accounted for over 80% of global energy demand growth.”

Energy growth is related to an improved quality of life for nations but climate activists hate the very notion of increased energy usage. You could frame it this way: Why do some countries get to improve the lives of its citizens with energy use while others are warned not to?

As African entrepreneur Magatte Wade puts it: “They’re burning coal in Europe while telling Africa to stick to solar. Colonial mindset never died, it just went green.”
