A strange conservative atmosphere since
Trump assassination attempt
Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/1/2026 5:33:34 PM
Maybe it’s just my suspicious, pessimistic nature. But the conservative websites and forums I surf have been emitting a strange “vibe” these last few days. The Trump assassination attempt details are discussed, and anger is vented. But, there seems to be little contemplation of what this latest attack on Trump portends for MAGA’s future. Even MSM news lacks its usual frenzy of event details, witness interviews, and background on the shooter, his friends, and family. Basic details are described, then ignored. They’ve mostly abandoned “if it bleeds, it leads” reporting to increase audience size. Minimal muckraking on the shooter. Minimal finger-pointing on failed responsibilities,

The United States has been reassessing the force strength our military maintains around the world, under Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in President Trump's second term, and it is now acting on that review, according to new reporting on Friday:
President Trump ordered the Pentagon on Friday to withdraw about 5,000 U.S. service members from Germany amid his public feud with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
The redeployment of troops will bring the number of service members roughly to pre-2022 levels and will affect a brigade combat team and potentially other U.S. forces already in Germany, according to a senior Pentagon official.
It's happening again. Only days after King Charles III and Queen Camilla's visit to the United States, the United Kingdom's government has raised its terror threat level to Severe. This has prompted the American embassy in London to issue a warning to Americans in the UK. It has been less than three days since the last terrorist attack in Britain, that being the Golders Green attack.

The Department of War has finalized contracts with seven leading technology firms to deploy their AI systems in classified military environments, marking a significant expansion of the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence capabilities.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Department of War announced Friday that it has completed agreements allowing the use of AI technology from OpenAI, Google, SpaceX, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, and startup Reflection AI in classified settings. The deals represent a major step forward in the Pentagon’s push to integrate cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools into military operations.

As Beege wrote earlier, the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, has dropped out of the Democratic Party race to become the next candidate for Senate this fall. It's an excellent piece, of course, but the subject bears even more discussion.
Mills was the hand-picked candidate of Chuck Schumer, who will himself likely be booted from his formerly safe New York Senate seat by a socialist candidate. As the Senate Minority Leader, he should have had all the cards, or more specifically, all the money in the world, to help Mills get over the finish line.
Mills dropped out because she ran out of cash. Nobody cares what Chuck thinks
'Normie Extremism' and Looming Violence

he Atlantic published a story today connecting would-be assassin Cole Allen to Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson. All of them, according to the author, are "normie extremists," a new trend made up of people whose actions seem more extreme than their ideology, at least at first glance.
On Saturday night, after Cole Tomas Allen’s alleged attempt to assassinate President Trump and administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a familiar ritual began on the internet: compiling a portrait of the shooter, based on the digital breadcrumbs of his online life...
On what appears to be Allen’s Bluesky account,
President Trump on Thursday signed a bill to fund most of the subagencies within the Department of Homeland Security after a 76-day shutdown of the department.
Earlier on Thursday, House lawmakers approved the DHS funding measure, which was first passed by the Senate more than a month ago, to fully fund subagencies that do not carry out immigration enforcement, including the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Republican lawmakers now plan to advance a separate bill to fund Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Trump has asked Republicans to send that measure to his desk by June 1.
Israel is on heightened alert, ramping up preparations for a possible return to fighting with Iran, amid indications that US President Donald Trump may be nearing a decision on renewed military action, Channel 12 News reports.
Trump is reportedly being briefed at the White House on military options by US Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper, as Israeli officials held a series of intensive consultations amid what they see as growing momentum toward a decision in Washington.
According to Channel 12, Israeli officials are bracing for the possibility that negotiations between the US and Iran could collapse as early as the start of next week. The report cites cabinet ministers briefed
The Iranian embassy in the United Kingdom is facing sharp criticism after reports said it urged Iranians living in the UK to "sacrifice their lives" for the country in a social media message. The post, which was widely circulated online, has raised concerns among British officials and observers, with many calling the language inappropriate and alarming.
According to a report by The Independent, the embassy shared a message on its official Telegram channel promoting a campaign called "Jan Fada", which translates to "devotion" or "sacrificing one's life". The message appeared to encourage expatriates to stand up for Iran and even become "martyrs" if needed.

We may no longer need to rely on foreign batteries to power our electronics. Geologists have announced that the Appalachian Mountains could be hiding a sprawling multi-billion-dollar cache of lithium that could last the US hundreds of years.
“This research shows that the Appalachians contain enough lithium to help meet the nation’s growing needs,” declared US Geological Survey Director Ned Mamula in a statement.
According to a map by the institution, this East Coast mountain range houses around 2.5 metric tons of this battery precursor, most of which is concentrated in the Carolinas, Maine and New Hampshire. Total value: around $64.4B dollars.

The Supreme Court’s liberal justices called their colleagues’ decision clawing back race-based redistricting on Wednesday a “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act.
In a 48-page dissent, Justice Elena Kagan held up the landmark 1965 law as helpful to the nation’s progress on racial discrimination.
“At this last stage, the Court’s gutting of Section 2 puts that achievement in peril,” Kagan wrote.
“I dissent because Congress elected otherwise,” she continued. “I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent.”

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will weigh arguments Wednesday over the Trump administration’s push to end legal protections for Haitians and Syrians as migrants fleeing war and natural disaster.
Haitians and Syrians were among those from 17 countries with Temporary Protected Status, which allows migrants already in the U.S. to stay with work permits in 18-month increments, so long as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security deems their country of origin unsafe for return. Since President Donald Trump ’s second term began, Homeland Security has ended the protections for 13 countries, exposing their migrants to potential deportation.

Reparations advocates spoke at Kennedy King College in Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday, arguing the "moral" responsibility of the federal government to compensate Black Americans for slavery. One of the attendees was waiting for the event to begin in the hallway with dozens of students outside the college theater auditorium. Grace, a student at Kennedy King College, told Fox News Digital that she was eager to see her professor, Dr. Daniel Davis. "I'm studying African American 101 with Professor Dr. Davis," Grace said. She continued, "I'm here to be more advanced on my ancestors. I've not been to class in over
President Trump has signed an executive order to create retirement accounts for tens of millions of workers who don’t currently have access to a 401(k) or another workplace plan.
“I promised to make the same types of retirement accounts enjoyed by federal employees available to all Americans, and that’s what we’re doing. It only seemed fair,” he said during the signing ceremony in the Oval Office.
Low-income earners without an individual retirement account (IRA) through their employer will receive a yearly federal matching contribution of up to $1,000 each, the president noted.
For a party that screams about 'No Kings,' the Democrats sure seem to have no problem with declaring themselves our de facto kings or — in the case of Jasmine Crockett — queens. Crockett went on the "Sherri" show yesterday, where she lamented the "disrespect" she's received as a black woman, before going on to tell voters she's our superior. (Snip) You know, for me ...

Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government?
After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters.
But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law.
Of course, every sentient person knows exactly why they do both of those things: they cheat, and want to make it as hard as possible to detect the cheating, and almost impossible to audit elections
For decades, the mental health industry and its allies in media, government, and education have operated on a simple assumption: the more mental health awareness we spread, through campaigns, school programs, social media, and public service announcements, the better. Raise awareness, reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking, and mental health will surely improve.
New evidence shows the opposite is happening. Well-intentioned awareness efforts are actively backfiring, manufacturing distress, inflating diagnoses, and turning normal human emotions into chronic “disorders.” The shocking result is that these campaigns are turning mentally fit people into self-diagnosed mentally ill patients, with symptoms effectively “contracted” from the awareness messages themselves.
As Dr. Anthony Fauci’s right-hand man, David Morens, was charged this week with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in the COVID-19 cover-up, another scandal over the vaccine was unfolding on Capitol Hill.
According to a new Senate report and congressional testimony on Wednesday, Biden administration health officials deliberately ignored warning signs of possible serious reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, including heart attacks, strokes, Bell’s palsy and sudden cardiac death.
Within three months of the vaccines being rolled out, in March 2021, red flags were fluttering out of the weekly data dumps from doctors and patients reporting health problems after the shots, according to internal emails and meeting notes
Are you ready for your car to decide if you’re fit to drive? If not, you’d better buckle up.
A federal mandate declares new vehicles must have in-car surveillance for 2027 models onward that can decide if a person is fit to drive and can make the car inoperable via a so-called “kill switch.”

Most new cars won’t make the determination via breathalyzer, but infrared cameras continually monitoring potential impairment cues.
They include pupil size, head movements, eye movements and various behaviors consistent with a driver being out of it.[snip]

Cousin Marriage Ban Could Soon Hit the US
17 replies
Rep. Keith Self has introduced legislation that would effectively outlaw cousin marriages by denying federal recognition and benefits to such unions.
“Cousin marriage—which is permitted under Sharia—is fundamentally incompatible with American culture and values. It should not be allowed anywhere in our country,” the Texas Republican told The Daily Signal. “The vast majority of states have already banned this third‑world practice. It’s time for Congress to finish the job and enact a nationwide prohibition.”
Marriage between close family members is legal, with few or no restrictions, in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Self argues that blood‑related marriages are common in certain ethnic and cultural groups, with rates reaching
New York is set to pass its most extreme sanctuary policies yet – as Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats hone in on a deal that could impose sweeping bans on cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) confirmed “95%” of an anti-ICE immigration package has been agreed upon between Hochul and state legislators as part of ongoing state budget talks – including etching New York’s first statewide sanctuary law restricting how law enforcement can interact with immigration authorities.
The lawyer for White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen gave an absurd reason why the CalTech grad should be allowed to walk free pending trial, claiming he was “not a danger to anybody” — despite charges that he attempted to assassinate President Trump.
Defense attorneys claimed that Allen, 31, was not prepared to carry out a mass shooting in the room where Trump, first lady Melania, and most of the top members of the administration were in attendance, because he had a pump-action shotgun, his team wrote in papers Wednesday.
“Mr. Allen has no criminal history — not even prior arrests, which alone would rebut the presumption of detention,”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday that if he had a one-on-one with King Charles III, he'd suggest the British monarch return a crown jewel to India.
"I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor," Mamdani said, referring to a 105.6-carat gem that the East India Company took from a deposed Indian leader in 1849 as a condition of a peace agreement.
The Koh-i-Noor, one of the world's most famous diamonds, is set in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, in the Tower of London.
We’re in the eighth week of the Iran waropens in a new tab, and things are starting to heat up even though there’s not kinetic action. What do I mean by heating up? The Iranian government has ceased to exist. We don’t know, and the Iranians don’t know who holds power.
There is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. There is the theocracy, there is the elected people in Parliament, and there is a regular military. And those four groups operate in schizophrenic fashion. By the same token, sometimes they give off signals that they would like to negotiate because that is predicated on popular resistance.
