  1. Man-made climate change would be an existential threat to humanity if it were supported by science, rather than the massive wealth-transferring dialectical push that has lined the pockets of creeps like Al Gore. The phenomenal utility of this brainwashing graft cannot be denied.

    Conversely, artificial, man-made energy shortages impoverish millions of people in both the developed and third world. Energy is life. This is why Henry Kissinger, in his wisdom, pushed to create the petrodollar in the wake of August 15, 1971.

    Exactly how ludicrous and even racist is it to deny Africans, for instance, access to their own industrial enterprises? Whether it steals prosperity from Germany or Nigeria, the insane Church of the Watermelons is morally and ethically repugnant.

  8. An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi, India, was diverted to Rome, Italy, over a “possible security issue” according to several reports.

    After departing from John F. Kennedy International Airport, American Airlines Flight 292 was diverted to Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino International Airport, with the Italian Air Force being reported to have escorted the plane, the airport confirmed to ABC News.

    In a post on X, the Italian Air Force confirmed that two fighter jets “took off on alert to identify and escort a commercial aircraft” that had been headed to Indira Gandhi International Airport and had diverted over reports “of a presumed explosive device on board.”

  9. Dan Bongino’s life, fortune, and sacred honor
    By M. Walter
    We know he was willing to sacrifice his life for presidents.

    We now know he is willing to sacrifice his fortune.

    We’ll talk about his sacred honor in a bit, but first we need to pause and really appreciate what this man has done, now that he’s accepted an appointment as Deputy Director of the F.B.I.

    • He showed he is an Honorable man when he quite the Secret Service and lost the pension that he had worked so hard for, only an honorable man would do something like that.

  14. Wyatt has a panel on the third year of the war in Ukraine.
    I don’t recognize his guests, but that’s refreshing.

    [ Super Panel ] Millennium7*HistoryTech, Dan Castle & Andrea Gaspardo – 3 Year of Ukraine War – DPA

    • Looks good. Some 20 min. in:
      – Russians will absorb more pain than anywhere in the West. Soldiers have an attitude that’s different than elsewhere. They will win no matter how much they lose in the process.

      • Not another geopolitical partisan yap-fest. According to my brother, Wyatt is genuinely neutral. We’re far from the only family from the former Soviet Union that’s split in this war.

        Malca gave me links that almost certainly report the hit that killed my Russki’s son. They all said THREE dead……….
        ………. Three DOZEN would be a closer estimate. Russian search engines gave no numbers at all, standard for the RF DoD.

        Observations in this video reflect logistics and trends over the last three years. So many firsts, they’re certainly right to say the USA and China are taking notes.

        Where they’re headed – I think we all know. The mass loss of life that’s been shrouded in the fog of war is shocking. The more money given to PrezZ’s regime, the more death. On both sides. Just because they’re too far away to smell rotting corpses doesn’t absolve the ‘civilized West’ of their culpability in keeping this horror going.

  15. Shocking NSA Transgender Sex Chat Room Legitimized as DEI Uncovered – Employees Caught Talking About Estrogen Injections, Getting “Zapped,” and Many More Disgusting Topics
    thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/shocking-nsa-transgender-sex-chat-room-legitimized-as/
    Feb. 24, 2025 2:00 pm

    A shocking report has revealed that certain Deep State employees are into some of the most disgusting things imaginable. Worse, they are sharing their sick desires all on the taxpayer’s dime.

    The City Journal’s Chris Rufo and Hannah Grossman announced on Monday that they had obtained chat logs from the NSA’s Intelink messaging program, which exposed a secret chat room used by agency employees. The chat logs date back over two years and feature several X-rated topics, including fetishes, kink, and sex.

    Here are some of the most shocking details revealed by Rufo and Grossman:

    One popular chat topic was male-to-female transgender surgery, which involves surgically removing the penis and turning it into an artificial vagina. “[M]ine is everything,” said one male who claimed to have had gender reconstruction surgery. “[I]’ve found that i like being penetrated (never liked it before GRS), but all the rest is just as important as well.” Another intelligence official boasted that genital surgery allowed him “to wear leggings or bikinis without having to wear a gaff under it.”

    These employees discussed hair removal, estrogen injections, and the experience of sexual pleasure post-castration. “[G]etting my butthole zapped by a laser was . . . shocking,” said one transgender-identifying intel employee who spent thousands on hair removal. “Look, I just enjoy helping other people experience boobs,” said another about estrogen treatments. “[O]ne of the weirdest things that gives me euphoria is when i pee, i don’t have to push anything down to make sure it aims right,” a Defense Intelligence Agency employee added.

    Even more damning, these sex chats were legitimized as DEI with leadership’s approval, according to Rufo and Grossman.

    Yes, this was an actual part of the NSA mission.

    Activists within the agency used LGBTQ+ “employee resource groups” to turn their kinks and pathologies into official work duties. According to the current NSA employee, these groups “spent all day” recruiting activists and holding meetings with titles such as “Privilege,” “Ally Awareness,” “Pride,” and “Transgender Community Inclusion.” And they did so with the full support of NSA leadership, which declared that DEI was “not only mission-critical but mission imperative.”

    One source told Rufo and Grossman that almost all of these hundreds of these sexually provocative discussions occurred mostly on taxpayer time. Another source said he was “disgusted” by a thread discussing weekend “gangbangs.”

    In another chat, some transgender employees insisted on being referred to as “it” instead of human pronouns. Those who objected were accused of ‘transphobia’ and erasing trans individuals.

    The NSA sources also raised the question of some staffers’ mental fitness for the job. In one chat, an NSA employee insists on using “it” pronouns in lieu of the human “he” or “she” pronouns. “[I]t/its user here. While I understand we can make some people uncomfortable, keep in mind that the dehumanizing aspect either a) doesn’t apply or b) is a positive effect when we’re requesting it.” A commenter who disagreed was quickly dismissed by employees of the NSA and CIA, who claimed that refusing to use “it/its” pronouns amounted to “erasing” a transgender identity.

    Below are some of the chat room logs obtained by Rufo and Grossman. Please be forewarned that the content is extremely disturbing.

    Elon Musk responded to the shocking report with humor though one can bet he and the Trump administration will be taking prompt action.

    “Their SCIF must look like a Jackson Pollock painting under a black light!” he wrote with a laughing face emoji.

  16. Emboldened by Supreme Court’s Refusal to Act, Fired Biden Holdover Reinstated by Obama Judge Rules Some of Trump’s Firings of “Probationary” Employees Are Illegal

    Fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger can keep his job for now after the US Supreme Court on Friday evening, in a 5-page order, declined to immediately act on President Trump’s emergency application.

    President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) a couple of weeks ago.

    Shortly after the firing, Judge Amy Berman Jackson sided with Hampton Dellinger, issued an administrative stay, and allowed him to keep his job.

    Hampton Dellinger gets to keep his job for now after the Supreme Court declined to immediately act because the TRO is expiring in a few days (February 26).

    The Supreme Court is holding Trump’s emergency request “in abeyance”, which means that the court could make a decision at a later date.

    Emboldened by the Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene, Hampton Dellinger is now attacking President Trump’s decision to terminate “probationary” employees.

    In a statement released on Monday, Hampton Dellinger said some of Trump’s firings of probationary employees appear to be illegal.

    “Last Friday, Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger filed initial requests to “stay,” or pause, the apparently impermissible terminations of six probationary employees across various executive branch agencies. The requests, filed with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), seek a 45-day stay of the terminations because there are reasonable grounds to believe that agencies engaged in prohibited personnel practices (PPPs) under 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(12) by terminating the employees in violation of federal laws and regulations governing probationary terminations and reductions in force,” Hampton Dellinger’s office said.

    “Since the Civil Service Reform Act was passed in 1978, the merit system principles have guided how federal government agencies hire, manage, and, if necessary, remove federal employees. These principles establish that all federal employees, including those in a probationary status, should be evaluated based on individual performance,” Dellinger said.

    Dellinger added: “Firing probationary employees without individualized cause appears contrary to a reasonable reading of the law, particularly the provisions establishing rules for reductions in force. Because Congress has directed that OSC ‘shall’ protect government employees from PPPs, I believe I have a responsibility to request a stay of these actions while my agency continues to investigate further the apparent violation of federal personnel laws.”

    Hampton DELLINGER, the federal ethics watchdog who Trump has been blocked from firing by a federal court, rules some of the terminations of “probationary” employees appear to be illegal. https://t.co/OtExRlUqkP pic.twitter.com/jjctah7jhE

    A Delta flight en route from Atlanta to South Carolina was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday morning after the cabin filled with smoke or haze.

    According to reports, the smoke was coming from the flightdeck.

    The plane returned to Atlanta International Airport and all 94 passengers and crew were forced to evacuate via the emergency slides.

    No injuries were reported. It is unclear what caused the smoke.

    ABC News reported:

    Delta passengers were forced to evacuated via slides at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday after haze or smoke was observed in the plane, according to the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration.

    Delta Flight 876 was en route from Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina, on Monday morning when “haze inside the aircraft was observed,” a Delta spokesperson said. The FAA said “the crew reported possible smoke in the flightdeck.”

    The Boeing 717 aircraft — which had 94 passengers, two pilots and three flight attendants on board — returned to Atlanta and landed safely, according to Delta and the FAA.

    Atlanta Fire Rescue helped passengers deplane, according to the airport.

    “There is a moderate impact to operations at this time,” according to the airport.

    Last Monday a Delta plane crash-landed on a snowy runway at Toronto Pearson Airport in Canada.

    The flight arrived from Minneapolis when it crashed, landed, and flipped upside down.

    Dashcam video shows the plane coming in for a hard landing before flipping upside down and turning into a fireball.

    All 80 people aboard survived. At least 18 people were injured, 3 critically, including one child.

    The plane crash is still under investigation.

  18. “Transparency Is Coming… They Don’t Want Anyone to Know Who Was on Epstein’s Island, Who was a Pedo, and Who Is Probably Still Sitting in DC” – Alina Habba on Upcoming Epstein Island Documents Release (VIDEO)

    Bill Clinton gets a shoulder rub from one of Epstein’s girls on African tour.

    Alina Habba, the Counselor to President Trump went on FXO and Friends this past week and warned the left what is coming out soon: “Transparency is coming… Now they are going to panic because they don’t want anyone to know who was on Epstein’s island, who was a pedo, and who is probably still sitting in DC.”

    Alina Habba was asked about the bombshell Epstein documents that Pam Bondi is vowing to release.

    What she had to say will send shivers down the spines of the leftist perverts.

    Alina Habba: Transparency. Transparency is coming. We had a lot of defiance, I think, is the word you were looking for from the radical left, and that’s because they would have rather us kept quiet. They didn’t want to expose the funding that they were getting through NGOs, through USAID. Now they’re going panic because they don’t want anybody to know who was on Epstein’s Island, who was a pedo, and who is probably still sitting in DC. The reality of the situation is this. There will be accountability, and America deserves it. We needed to know what the drones are. We needed to know that we were okay. We need to know about Epstein’s Island. We want to know about JFK. The days of American government hiding from American people are over. We need transparency. We have done that, and we will continue to do so. I’m excited for Pam and now Cash to get in there and clean up our mess.

    On Monday, Libs of Tiktok uncovered a video by alleged Tiktoker named Sarah C. Roberts. In the footage, she can be seen allegedly threatening the life of Elon Musk in what has become a consistent theme among leftists nationwide.

    “I promised myself I would avoid the news, but obviously, I haven’t,” Roberts began before turning her attention to Musk.

    “Elon Musk, we need to X him,” she continued while making a throat-slash gesture. “And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”

    Harris then said she knew the FBI would show up and challenged them to arrest her before taunting law enforcement, claiming they did not have enough resources to investigate her. She also boasted she had not filed her taxes in eight years.

    The Tiktoker then closed by saying: “Let’s assassinate some motherf***ers!”

    A short time later, Ed Martin responded with some bad news for the TikTok user, revealing that she was in big trouble and that he would talking with her shortly.

    “Duly noted. Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am,” he wrote.

    Like other leftists in recent weeks, Roberts may have ruined her own life for a few clicks. It’s also safe to say Martin is going to be a busy man for the next four years as well if he gets confirmed to a full term as DC attorney.
