  • Media Usage of Social Justice/Woke Terminology Increased 700% Since 2014

    If you can control the information flow, you can control an entire society. Gone are the days of trusting your reporters and news outlets to provide unbiased and factual pieces to keep you informed on the state of your country.
    Perhaps I’ve watched too many “X-Files” episodes, but I now embrace the same principle of Fox Mulder: trust no one. To get to the bottom of any story as a citizen, you’d have to read reports of the same incident on at least 30 different outlets to get a sliver of truth.
    The hard reality is that traditional media outlets have been not just complicit, but happy little manipulation warriors bent on ensuring your mind and views fall in line with their chosen narrative.
    Over the last decade, their narrative of choice: You’re a racist. 

    Trust nothing, not even nothing

    By The Numbers
    According to Lexus Nexus, there has been a marked increase in specific phrases and words since 2014. As an example, below is a taste of some of these terms:

    white privilege
    system racism
    diversity and inclusion
    unconscious bias
    whiteness
    intersectionality
    diversity training
    police brutality

    #1 Look at the increase of news articles mentioning “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “unconscious bias.”

    How sharp is this increase? For example, between 2011 and 2019, the New York Times and Washington Post increased using words like ‘racist,’ ‘racists,’ and ‘racism’ increased by over 700% and 1,000%, respectively. 
    Furthermore, between 2013 and 2019, the same two publications increased their usage of terms like ‘systemic racism,’ ‘structural racism,’ and ‘institutional racism’ by 1,000%. And during that same timeframe, the two liberal heavyweights of print used ‘white privilege’ and ‘racial privilege’ at an increased rate of 1,200% and 1,500%, respectively.
    You may think this trend doesn’t affect much, given that not everyone reads the New York Times and Washington Post. However, a look at slightly different numbers indicates the opposite.

    The Opposite Direction
    According to a recent Gallup Poll, Americans think our country’s race relations have worsened considerably. In 2013, 72% of white and 66% of black people believed race relations were somewhat good.
    Compare that to 2021, when only 43% of white people and 33% of black people believed race relations were somewhat good. So how is it that five years deep into our first black president’s eight-year stint in the White House, race relations started to plummet in the minds of the American people?
    Had race relations decreased, or were we all just made to believe they had, thanks to the media narratives? Who would benefit from pushing such a narrative?

    The Black Lives Matter movement, which not so coincidentally was born around that fateful year thanks to the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, for starters. Violent protests erupted when a police officer shot and killed Mr. Brown.
    Media reported allegations that Mr. Brown had his hands raised, which birthed the lie “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” as investigators proved that was false. But the facts and truth didn’t matter to the media.
    Just as it didn’t for Kyle Rittenhouse, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Nick Sandmann, the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the latest effort of mainstream media to flip the narrative through the lens of racism – Jordan Neely.

    Victimizing Violence Based On Race
    Last week a homeless black man named Jordan Neely died on the New York City subway after a Marine Corps veteran named Daniel Penny subdued Mr. Neely using a chokehold maneuver.
    Mr. Neely, at the time, had been yelling about being hungry with the following:
    “I don’t care if I die. I don’t care if I go to jail. I don’t have any food…I’m done.”
    He followed up, hollering that he was ready to go to jail and get a life sentence after throwing his coat on the ground. At that point, Mr. Penny acted in what appeared to be an effort to calm and keep Mr. Neely from hurting anyone on the train with the help of two other passengers.
    This incident has garnered and continues to receive so much media attention and public outrage because Mr. Neely is black and Mr. Penny is white.
    New York Governor Kathy Hochul said of the event:
    “I do want to acknowledge how horrific it was to view a video of Jordan Neely being killed for being a passenger on our subway trains.”
    RELATED: Is Elon Musk Really the Destroyer of Journalism, Or is He Truth’s Last Hope?
    As if Mr. Penny was roving the subway just looking for a random black man on the subway system to murder. The mainstream media has been all too eager to jump on this tragic story, regaling readers and viewers about this man known for his Michael Jackson impersonations and mental health issues.
    Hashtags have gained traction, such as #Ridingwhileblack, again neglecting what occurred in that train car that day. You also won’t hear much about Mr. Neely’s over 40 prior arrests and open warrant for violently assaulting a 67-year-old woman in 2021. 
    Because none of that fits the narrative ‘they’ want you to consume.

    Slipping Through Their Fingers?
    The left wing of this country controls much of what goes into our minds and hearts. From mainstream media, Hollywood, and academia, they’ve mostly had the run of the land regarding narrative crafting.
    But could their attempt to tighten their chokehold on our views be causing some unforeseen cracks where the truth may still rule the day? According to Elon Musk, that could be possible.
    Recently Mr. Musk claimed that Twitter is now a “serious danger” to traditional media. Before Elon liberated the great blue bird, right-leaning voices and independent journalists were often censored, if not entirely banned, from the platform.

    Now, more independent journalists are given equal rights to the platform and elevation – allowing for much more diversity of thought and debate. The one kind of diversity that the left despises.
    Is there hope for the brainwashed and for the truth seekers, or are we forever subservient to the whims of the left via their media puppet strings? Only time will tell.
    I can tell you, dear reader, that I’d triple-check anything you read or hear and, of course – Trust No One.

    Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.

  • Baltimore Can’t Make Weekly Trash Pickups Even With $631 Million Budget

    By Adam Andrzejewski for RealClearPolicy
    The Baltimore Department of Public Works, well-funded with a $631 million budget, can’t find the time nor the resources to make weekly recycling pickups, despite a legal mandate to do so.
    A local group, Concerned Citizens of Baltimore, has joined a lawsuit against the Baltimore mayor and city council, alleging a biweekly pickup of trash to be a breach of the Baltimore City Charter, which guarantees weekly service. If successful, this lawsuit would compel the city to reinstate its weekly pickup service.
    RELATED: $8 Billion in U.S. Funds May Have Gone to the Taliban
    Baltimore’s Department of Public Works certainly isn’t short on cash, but blames staffing shortages for the pickup delay. The Department is one of the most well-funded in the city, with a total budget of $631 million in 2023. The waste removal and recycling segment specifically had a budget of $38.7 million.
    Open The Books investigated Baltimore Public Works payroll and found workers’ compensation has grown exponentially. While their headcount from 2011 to 2022 remained relatively flat, payroll increased from $84 million to $141 million. Adjusting for inflation, that $84 million should have increased only to $103 million, meaning salaries have far outpaced inflation.
    Concerned Citizens of Baltimore have also pointed out that the City of Baltimore received $641 million in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, which could have been used to supplement the Public Works Department and ensure recycling service continued weekly.

  • Dianne Feinstein to Return to Senate After Missing 91 Floor Votes While Recovering from Shingles

    Dianne Feinstein to Return to Senate After Missing 91 Floor Votes While Recovering from Shingles

    Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein will finally return to the senate after a 3-month absence due to health problems.
    Dianne Feinstein’s absence from the Senate held up Joe Biden’s judicial confirmations.
    Feinstein, 89, has been MIA since she was hospitalized for shingles in March.
    The California senator’s absence from the Senate Judiciary Committee had the panel deadlocked at 10-10.
    Feinstein has missed 91 floor votes.
    The Democrats tried to temporarily replace Feinstein but GOP lawmakers blocked their efforts.
    Feinstein will cast a vote on Wednesday according to her spox.
    NBC News reported:
    Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is returning to the Senate after a nearly three-month absence due to health problems, a spokesperson said.
    Feinstein is expected to cast a vote Wednesday — her first recorded vote since Feb. 16 — after having missed 91 floor votes while she recovered from shingles, according to an NBC News tally.
    With Democrats holding just a single-seat advantage in the Senate, Feinstein’s absence complicated her party’s efforts to confirm some of President Joe Biden’s nominees. Her absence was most pronounced on the Judiciary Committee, where an 11-10 majority became a 10-10 stalemate — frustrating Democratic efforts to confirm some judges and scuttling any plans to issue subpoenas on party-line votes.
    Feinstein later disputed that her absence had in any way limited the number of nominees advanced by the committee.
    “There has been no slowdown,” Feinstein wrote in a statement last week after the Judiciary Committee advanced seven less controversial nominees on a bipartisan basis. “I’m confident that when I return to the Senate, we will be able to move the remaining qualified nominees out of committee quickly and to the Senate floor for a vote.”

    “It’s a Disgrace. I Don’t Even Know This Woman” – UPDATE: President Trump Promises to Appeal New York Jury Sexual Abuse Jury Verdict (VIDEO)

    A Manhattan jury reached a verdict in the E. Jean Carroll rape/defamation case on Tuesday afternoon.
    In 2019, E. Jean Carroll alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990’s.
    A 9-member Manhattan jury was seated last month to kick off the rape, defamation trial against Trump.
    Trump has denied the allegations and called E. Jean Carroll a “whack job” who’s “not my type.”
    President Trump did not attend the trial.
    Trump’s lawyers did not call any witnesses to the stand.
    The jury reached a verdict on Tuesday and found Trump did not rape E. Jean Carroll but will be forced to pay her $5 million in damages anyway.
    What nonsense.
    On Tuesday night President Trump released a video statement on Truth Social.
    Trump vowed to appeal the fraudulent case.
    President Trump: What else can you expect from a Trump hating, Clinton appointed judge who went out of his way to make sure that the result of this trial was as negative as it could possibly be? Speaking to and in control of a jury from an anti-trump area, which is probably the worst place in the United States for me to get a fair trial, we will be appealing this decision.
    It’s a disgrace. I don’t even know who this woman is. I have no idea who she is, where she came from.
    This is another scam. It’s a political witch hunt, and somehow we’re going to have to fight this stuff. We cannot let our country go into this abyss. This is disgraceful. You have somebody running for office. You have a woman that’s financed and lied about it. She totally lied about it by Democrat operatives, like, just about the biggest one there is. And she said that wasn’t true. They found that she lied about it, and the judge wasn’t even, I guess, letting it be put in as evidence. The whole thing is a scam, and it’s a shame, and it’s a disgrace to our country.
    The Democrats continue to break down law and order in the country. This jury decision is a national disgrace.

  • Molotov Cocktail Discovered at ‘Vigil’ for Jordan Neely in New York City (VIDEO)

    Molotov Cocktail Discovered at ‘Vigil’ for Jordan Neely in New York City (VIDEO)

    In the last few days it has become clear that the left is trying to turn Jordan Neely into the new George Floyd.
    Over the weekend, protesters blocked tracks on the subway.
    Then a ‘vigil’ was held, which of course turned violent, and police even found a Molotov Cocktail.
    FOX 5 in New York reports:
    Jordan Neely: At least 11 protesters arrested, Molotov cocktail found
    It was another night of unrest on New York City streets, as a Monday protest demanding justice for Jordan Neely ended in at least 11 arrests.
    Demonstrations started out peacefully, as protesters returned to the Broadway-Lafayette station where the 30-year-old Neely lost his life, demanding justice and accountability.
    But the situation quickly escalated, as the crowd spilled out into oncoming traffic and refused to stop, using a microphone system, even after being ordered by police to do so.
    Protesters yet again clashed with police, resulting in several arrests.
    “We cannot have people coming out to protest, at what we want to be a peaceful protest, bringing out dangerous substances like this,” Maddrey said. “As you can see, it’s a glass bottle with a liquid in there. We don’t know what the liquid is as of yet. It has not been tested.”
    Police arrested 13 people Saturday night for fighting with officers, and are still seeking six others in connection with the protest that unfolded inside the Lexington Avenue/63rd Street subway station on the Upper East Side.

  • California Launches ‘Snitch Hotline’ to Report ‘Hate Acts’ Including Name-Calling

    California Launches ‘Snitch Hotline’ to Report ‘Hate Acts’ Including Name-Calling

    The state of California has launched a ‘snitch hotline’ that people are supposed to use to report ‘hate acts’ including name-calling.
    This is the sort of thing you expect to hear about on a liberal college campus, not in a massive state with tons of problems.
    California is experiencing shrinking population for the first time in its history as residents flee for other states and this is what they’re focusing on?
    The Blaze reports:
    California launches new snitch hotline to report ‘hate acts’ and ‘hate incidents’ — including ‘name calling’
    California has launched a new hotline for residents to report “hate acts.”
    Last Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and the California Civil Rights Department announced the launch of CA vs Hate. Through the hotline, Californians will be able to snitch on their neighbors for committing “hate acts,” which the service explicitly states do not always include violence.
    “A hate incident is a hostile expression or action that may be motivated by bias against another person’s actual or perceived identity,” the website states. “Perpetrators may be motivated by different discriminatory biases, including, but not limited to; bias based on race, color, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender, including gender identity.”
    Some examples of “hate incidents,” according to the website, are “refusing service,” “derogatory name calling,” and bullying.
    The new hotline, Newsom explained, is “an unequivocal message that hate will not be tolerated” in California.
    “We stand firm for a California for All and it is important that we hold perpetrators accountable for their actions and provide resources for those individuals victimized by hate crimes,” he said in a statement. “Now, Californians have another tool to ensure that not only justice is served, but that individuals have access to additional resources to help deal with the lingering wounds that remain after such a horrendous crime occurs.”

  • New Evidence Reveals Deep State Behind “Hispanic Nazi Mass Shooter” Conspiracy – Photos Came from Previously Unrelated NY Post Article – COMPLETE LIES!

    New Evidence Reveals Deep State Behind “Hispanic Nazi Mass Shooter” Conspiracy – Photos Came from Previously Unrelated NY Post Article – COMPLETE LIES!

    The Gateway Pundit previously reported that at least 8 people died Saturday, including the shooter, following a mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlet mall in Allen, Texas. The mainstream media is desperate to pin the tragedy by an Hispanic sociopath on “white supremacy.”
    The Gateway Pundit reported the feds are allegedly investigating whether shooter Mauricio Garcia expressed interest in white supremacy. Over the weekend, The Washington Post even floated the idea that the Hispanic shooter may have had ‘Neo-Nazi’ beliefs.

    In a concerning move, the Deep State is building the narrative of Hispanic shooter Garcia being a neo-Nazi white supremacist by leaking details of an ongoing murder investigation to The New York Times, Bellingcat and other media outlets.

    Bellingcat is the notorious go-to website for the British intelligence agencies.  Bellingcat, and others, are sharing information and evidence in real-time, evidence that has, in some cases, been redacted. Further, several documents are placed on the floor with the same carpet background in what looks to be the collection and cataloging of evidence.

    Aric Toler from Bellingcat stated that, “It is unclear how the investigators cited by The NY Times learned about this (the Russian) account, but it is likely that they searched Garcia’s home computer or phone and found this account.”

    It is clear, however,  from the grade of evidence that WaPo/NYT/Bellingcat are getting near real-time access to highly sensitive details about an active murder investigation and were provided raw crime scene alleged evidence for the purpose of narrative engineering.

    How do reporters have near real-time access to details of an on-going murder investigation?

    Is it a Deep State leak to manufacture and push the narrative they want?  We certainly have seen this before in recent history with the 51 experts signing the garbage Hunter Biden laptop letter and the entire Trump-Russia narrative that was created by Democrats, the media, and anti-Trump deep state liars.

    Probably done posting in this thread, but in summary:
    The Allen shooter was obviously a white supremacist / neo-Nazi. He was basically announcing that he was going to do a mass shooting for months beforehand, and planned his target weeks in advance.
    — Aric Toler (@AricToler) May 8, 2023

    Additionally, there are questions regarding the photos used by Toler and the origin of the information.

    XRVision reports that some of the images published by Toler, that purport to show that Mauricio Garcia had a Nazi affiliation, have been repurposed from a non-related May 6, 2022 New York Post article by Hannah Sparks titled “Nazi-themed wedding celebrating Hitler’s reign, vegetarianism condemned.”

    Toler is also trying to link Garcia to TimCast and LibsofTikTok.  The account features photos of Lationos wearing/posing with Neo-Nazi symbols.

    Additional questions have been raised about the genesis of Toler’s “evidence.”

    These questions are worth asking of the Allen, Texas shooter and the recent revelations about him. This is not a comprehensive list of questions, or points.
    – Why was the shooter misidentified several times?
    – The shooter wasn’t white.
    – How were his neo-Nazi affiliations…
    — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 8, 2023

    The alleged shooter’s alleged profile claims that he was inspired by Libs of TikTok. Between this and the Tim Pool references, this thing is suspect. Where is his Twitter account? Why was he using a Russian social media site to write was essentially a diary to zero followers? pic.twitter.com/2L7w4ZWjPk

    Current CIA Officers Were Actively Recruting Intel Officials to Sign Bogus Hunter Laptop Letter to Lie to Americans and Tilt Election to Joe Biden (VIDEO)

    During the second presidential debate in 2020, Joe Biden and hack reporter Kristen Welker teamed up against President Trump.
    At one point, Joe Biden interrupted Welker for his planned response to the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell scandal. Joe Biden told the audience 50 intelligence leaders signed a letter saying the laptop was “Russian propaganda.”

    The 51 spies who lied openly to the American public.
    The intel leaders all lied. They knew it was a lie. Joe Biden knew it was a lie. The media knew this was a lie.
    And now we know that the Biden Campaign and current Secretary of State Tony Blinken organized this massive lie. The laptop was real and EVERY SINGLE INTEL ‘EXPERT’ who signed that letter knew it was real!
    They have never apologized.
    Here is the full letter signed by 51 intelligence officials who lied to the American public about Hunter Biden’s laptop being a Russian disinformation operation.
    They ALL knew this was a lie.
    But it was not just the 51 intel officers who signed the letter. Another 9 intel officers signed the letter but were too cowardly to go public.
    This little-known fact is included at the bottom of the original document.

    51 Intel Officials and 9 Ot… by Jim Hoft
    And here is the last paragraph. Nine additional “former IC officers who cannot be named publicly” supported the letter but would not openly sign their name to the letter.

    There were 60 dishonest intel officers who lied to the American public about the Hunter Biden laptop being a Russian disinformation operation.
    These 60 should be outed, subpoenaed, and punished for pushing such a brazen political lie to swing a presidential election.  There is no way they should walk free without any fear of repercussions for their dishonest and illegal actions.
    Now this…
    John Solomon on Tuesday reported that an active CIA employee was recruiting intel leaders to sign the bogus Hunter Biden laptop letter.
    Obviously, this may explain why we do not have all of the names of those intel leaders who signed the slanderous anti-Trump letter.

    Winters said the committee has records that from 2015 to 2017 Biden received over a million dollars from a Romanian company that was sent “through a variety of family associates” from an individual named Gabriel Popoviciu.
    Winters also said the committee will show how the Biden family created numerous shell LLC companies and others created by Biden family associates to funnel money from “Chinese communist party controlled entities” to members of the Biden family.
    Winters said that Romania is the country at the heart of a whistleblower complaint revealed last week accusing Biden of taking money while vie president from a foreign business in exchange for favorable policy decisions.
    In interviews leading up to Wednesday’s press conference, Comer has spoken about the web of LLCs laundering money from foreign entities to at least nine Biden family members. Video of Comer on Sunday Morning Futures tow days ago:

  • “We Cut the Deficit by 0 Billion Dollars! Billion! B-I-L-L-I-O-N!” – Joe Biden Lashes Out at Reporter Asking Him About Budget Cuts (VIDEO)

    “We Cut the Deficit by $160 Billion Dollars! Billion! B-I-L-L-I-O-N!” – Joe Biden Lashes Out at Reporter Asking Him About Budget Cuts (VIDEO)

    Joe Biden Tuesday evening released a brief statement after meeting with congressional leaders to discuss the debt ceiling.
    Biden met with Speaker McCarthy, Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader McConnell and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in the Oval Office.
    McCarthy’s debt limit plan will eliminate Biden’s unconstitutional student loan bailout plan and slash the funds set aside for the army of IRS agents.
    “I just finished I thought a productive meeting about the path forward to make sure America does not default on its debt… for the first time in its history…We are going to continue our discussions and we’re going to meet again on Friday,” Biden said.
    Biden repeated one of his favorite lies: “In my first two years, I reduced the debt by $1.7 trillion.”
    This is a lie.
    Biden briefly thought he was back in the senate and said he’s “not gonna vote” and “not gonna pass” McCarthy’s budget bill.
    He’s completely shot.
    Then he pivoted and said he wouldn’t rule out unilateral action on the debt limit if Congress doesn’t bend to his demands: “I have been considering the 14th Amendment.”
    A reporter asked Joe Biden a question about McCarthy’s statements to the press about his unwillingness to negotiate.
    McCarthy said he asked Biden numerous times to tell him which spending cuts he would be open to.
    “He wouldn’t give me any,” McCarthy said.

    Q: “Did the president tell you that there were any spending cuts that he would be open to?”

    Biden lost his temper after a reporter asked him about McCarthy’s claims.
    “You didn’t listen either, so why should I even answer the question? We cut the deficit by $160 billion! Billion! B-I-L-L-I-O-N!” Biden shouted.
