When 'Teenagers Enjoying the Day' Throw
Terror Bombs

The Obama Presidential Center is gearing up for its grand opening in June, but there is still lots to do before the doors open. One of those things is getting people in place who will staff the facility. But if you thought that working in Chicago's newest "unique" building might land you a decent salary, well, think again. Your "salary" will come in the form of getting to be part of the "experience."
The Obama Center is looking for unpaid volunteers to make up the workforce. While volunteering for something you believe in is a noble cause, it's just that — volunteering — and volunteering doesn't put food on the table.

At the Oscars we got to see a presenter say Free Palestine and no Wars. An Oscar winner said we should not elect anyone who doesn't care about the children.
They demand to Free Palestine but they never demand that Iranians, Venezuelans, and Cubans get freedom from tyrants.
They didn't protest as tens of thousands of Iranians were mowed down.
They haven't protested when the women's Iranian soccer team was threatened. Where are the women's athletes that always protest anything Trump does? Our sexist, racist President who hates foreigners and Muslims is the one trying to save them.
The Pope and others say wars never achieve peace.
Is Lesbianism Ruining America’s Future?

oday, most of those self-identifying as LGBTQ are young women. The growth has been dramatic. In the US, some thirty percent of Gen Z women (age 18-27) are self-identifying as LGBTQ, etc.—mainly lesbian and—compared to around 1-2% for women in the World War 2 generation. This means that almost a third of traditionally marital-age women are likely disinterested in traditional marriage. This is a significant factor in why almost half of Americans are unmarried.
As a result of the decline in marriages, the American replacement rate continues its slide south of the 2.1 children per couple needed for replacement. It is now hovering at 1.6. If one argues that lesbian couples
Expect Chaos in Cuba

The Communist dictatorship in Cuba is on its last legs. For decades, it had a parasitical relationship with the Soviet Union, which kept it alive economically, militarily, and politically. The Soviet Union was able to last for as long as it did because it was truly gargantuan, spanning two continents and filled with natural resources which the government utilized to stave off the inevitable end of all Marxist regimes. But when it, in turn, collapsed, Cuba’s economy took an even deeper dive than before, euphemistically referred to as the “Special Period.”
Then, oil-rich Venezuela, the wealthiest country in South America, became Communist and extended a lifeline to Cuba while it, too,

The rumor that's circulating in Middle Eastern political networks claims that Iranian cleric Hojtaba Khamenei may be in poor condition while he struggles to command respect among key figures inside the regime.
Mojtaba Khamenei remains widely viewed as the center of Iran's leadership after the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who served as Iranian supreme leader for over 30 years and whose death created a sudden leadership vacuum.
Iranian state media later confirmed the killing and declared a 40-day national mourning period as the regime moved quickly to maintain control and reassure supporters that the government remained intact. The Iranian supreme leader has held ultimate authority over Iran's military forces,
"The desire of power in excess, caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess, caused man to fall: but in charity there is no excess [emphasis added]; neither can angel, nor man, come in danger by it."
Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
In his active political career, Bill Clinton, at times, displayed genius. However, his post-presidency defines how an arrogant, proud person can cruelly destroy a charity’s ability to perform good works lawfully.
Francis Bacon, an intellectual giant, understood that true charity only benefits the recipient. Bill is the opposite. In thousands of pages of word torrents, Bill seems to suggest that activities pursued through “his” foundation served as a kind of
Not only is the Democrat party anti-American, it is shot through with an anti-democratic streak that is ever more apparent.
Like every tyranny throughout history -- communist, Marxist, socialist -- citizens are disarmed.
After every gun crime here, as with the murder of a professor at Old Dominion University the other day, the Muslim murderer who was previously charged with a terrorism crime and went to prison, is not blamed; his acquisition of the gun is. If the Iranian citizenry were armed, they would not be sitting ducks today.
The Democrat party is fervently in favor of the gender mutilation of persons suffering with gender dysphoria,
Colorado used to be a pretty good place. When I moved there in 1989, it was still mostly South Wyoming. Oh, there was downtown Denver, where the urban Dems clustered, and there was the People's Republic of Boulder, where they kept all the hippies. But most of Colorado was still pretty sensible. Now, though? It's East California, and nothing makes that case more clearly than the Jefferson County, Colorado board of education defying Title IX by allowing boys in girls' locker rooms, overnight accommodations, and on their sports teams.
It wasn't an isolated case, either. Up to 60 male students may have been given the opportunity to occupy spots for competing

The U.S. military devastated the military installations on Kharg Island, Iran’s major oil transport facility, but left the oil infrastructure alone. President Trump threatened to blow up the oil facilities, too:
“The United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island,” Trump said in a statement Friday evening, referring to an island in the Persian Gulf where most of Iran’s oil is processed.
“I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and
Is he alive or is he dead? When it comes to the new ayatollah, the answer is ultimately Yes. If he is alive, it won’t be for long. Who wants to tell him?
Sadly, I don’t have any memes yet for Judge Lawrence Van Dyke’s amazing dissent at the 9th Circuit Friday. (If you haven’t heard about this, see the third item here.)
If you vote for Gavin Newsom for president, what do you get?
If you find out, tell him. He would love to know.
The Democrat governor of California recently had occasion to explain what to expect if he entered the Oval Office on January 20, 2029.
Alas for Newsom, his not-ready-for-primetime response recalled other politicians who had no clue why they ran for office.

volunteers — while CEO Valerie Jarrett
makes $740K 26 replies
The Obama Foundation is looking for 100 unpaid volunteers to work alongside the former president’s highly paid cronies at the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Chicago when it opens in June.
Officials are pitching the no-paycheck gigs as rooted in former President Barack Obama’s legacy of civic engagement.
The recruitment campaign comes after Fox News Digital reported that the organization’s CEO, former top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, was paid $740,000 in 2024.
Foundation officials told Fox News Digital the volunteers will complement about 300 full- and part-time employees at the long-delayed center, which the organization is promoting as a $3.1 billion economic catalyst for the Windy City’s South Side.
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said President Donald Trump was no longer fit for office.
Buttigieg said, “What I’m worried about is not the soldiers and the people who are serving. What I’m worried about is their political leadership, like Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. You know, we lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it. Here’s the biggest thing that has not changed since the war in Afghanistan or the war in Iraq.

LOS ANGELES — Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” was crowned best picture at the 98th Academy Awards, handing Hollywood’s top honor to a comic, multi-generational American saga of political resistance.
The ceremony Sunday, which also saw Michael B. Jordan win best actor and “Sinners” cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw make Oscar history as the first female director of photography to win the award, was a long-in-coming coronation for Anderson, a San Fernando Valley native who made his first short at age 18 and has been one of America’s most lionized filmmakers for decades. Before Sunday, Anderson had never won an Oscar.

Training Certificate’ Requirement for
Gun Purchases 20 replies
Rhode Island Democrat House members are pushing legislation to require Rhode Islanders to obtain a “Firearm Safety Training Certificate” prior to purchasing a gun.
The legislation, H 7755, is sponsored by state Reps. Jennifer Boylan (D), Teresa Tanzi (D), Justine Caldwell (D), Robert Craven (D), Matthew Dawson (D), Earl Read (D), and others.
The text of H 7755 requires the would-be buyer of a handgun to “Present to the person selling the firearm a valid firearm safety training certificate issued by the office of the attorney general.”
Tucker Carlson has announced the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been monitoring his contacts with people within Iran and is potentially referring the issue to Dept of Justice (DOJ) officials for criminal review.
According to his previous self-admissions, Carlson was strongly against the Trump administration taking military action toward Iran and had travelled to the White House to express that opinion to President Trump. If the CIA was monitoring his contact with officials within Iran, this should NOT come as a surprise.
Given the nature of the conflict both before (during negotiations) and after the military hostilities began (operation epic fury), it would be negligent if the Intelligence Community was not

State legislators recently pelted Greg Lucas, the leader of the California State Library, with questions about the funds during a budget hearing on education, the New York Post reported on Friday.The issue is connected to a foundation started by Parton called Imagination Library, which delivers free books to children. The program was set to be statewide in California in 2023, according to WJHL.
The outlet noted Parton created her library in 1995 to provide free books in her home county in east Tennessee.During the hearing, state Sen. Shannon Grove (R) told Lucas he did not have documentation to show where the money went.
Travelers nationwide are dealing with lengthy security line backups at airports due to the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and, in turn, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). As the shutdown continues, the TSA is increasingly facing staffing shortages that have led to long lines at airport security checkpoints. Unfortunately, it sounds like those staffing issues are only getting worse. “Travelers are facing TSA lines of up to nearly three hours long at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel,” the DHS said in a statement.

in the Middle East, as Macron prepares
for postwar talks 17 replies
France’s government is bolstering the country’s military presence in the Middle East, dispatching its aircraft carrier and other warships, while President Emmanuel Macron engages with key players in the conflict, including Iran, in a bid to position Paris for future diplomatic talks.
Macron said that France’s military involvement is strictly “defensive” and aims to avoid making the country a party to the war.
He reaffirmed that position after one French soldier was killed Thursday in a drone attack in Iraq.
“We are not at war with anyone,” Macron said.
Electric vehicles are probably the vehicle of the future, but they are not the vehicle of the present. Let’s look at the numbers.
An EV uses about six cents of electricity to go a mile. That’s if you charge it at home with inexpensive residential electricity rates. It’s more if you use a charging station, and it’s more if it’s a large vehicle like a Rivian. And by the way, be prepared to leave it plugged in for several hours to get it charged.
Gasoline-powered cars use about thirteen cents of gasoline to go a mile, assuming gas is something over $3/gallon and you get something like 25 mpg.
Late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was wary about his son Mojtaba succeeding him because he was not perceived as being particularly intelligent, according a new report. CBS News detailed that Khamenei was also aware of issues in Mojtaba's personal life. However, the outlet added, Trump told people close to him that information conveyed to him about the new supreme leader doesn't matter. He believes the country is operating without a leader and Khamenei could be dead.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that Khamenei is wounded and likely disfigured. Moreover, a report by British outlet The Sun claimed that the man is in a coma and lost a leg
George Soros’s Open Society Foundations is funding the slavery reparations campaign against Britain. The Telegraph has the story.
The Open Society Foundations (OSF), established by Hungarian investor George Soros and now led by his son, Alex Soros, has donated vast sums from its $23 billion (£17.2 billion) endowment to progressive causes.
The foundation has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups seeking to claim reparations from Britain for slavery and colonialism.
The OSF helped to found a joint Caribbean and African campaign, and supported organisations that are now considering international litigation that could heap pressure on the British Government.
