Brazilian Socialist President Lula da Silva Wants to Control Civilian Firearms

Brazil’s elected left-wing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, wants to control the firearms of the population. The Minister of Justice and Public Security, Flávio Dino, presented a draft decree with new rules for firearms.

The text prepared by Dino aims to reduce the number of firearms allowed for collectors, sports shooters, and hunters (CACs).

This is a way that Lula has adopted to control firearms in the hands of civilians.

The socialist president wants to overturn all the decrees of the former conservative president Jair Bolsonaro, which allowed increased buying and selling of guns to the Brazilian population.

Bolsonaro’s decrees allowed shooters to acquire up to 60 guns, including 30 restricted-use firearms (such as rifles and machine guns) and 30 permitted-use firearms (such as pistols and revolvers). Additionally, hunters were authorized to register up to 30 guns, including 15 restricted-use and 15 permitted-use.

In the draft submitted to Lula, Dino proposes stricter regulations for CACs, including reducing these limits. There is also a provision for categorizing shooters into three levels and defining that the maximum number of permitted-use firearms that this category is entitled to be 16.

President Lula da Silva also wants the Federal Police to take control of authorizations for firearm use to control information on individuals who own guns. The Federal Police is under the control of one of Lula’s ministers.

Currently, the Brazilian Army is responsible for firearm control and does not share information with the government. But Lula wants to concentrate all information on civilians who own guns in his hands.

On his first day in office, Lula issued a decree mandating that all firearms be registered with the Federal Police. The originally scheduled due date was pushed out to May 3.

Guns that weren’t registered earlier this month were confiscated.

Lindsey Graham Travels to Kiev to Promise Whatever the GOP Candidates Say the Uniparty Congress Will Keep Feeding Ukraine Weapons

The Uniparty will not bend.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) traveled to Kiev again on Friday. Lindsey promised Ukrainian President Zelensky that no matter what Republicans say on the campaign trail to their base, the Uniparty Republicans in the Senate will continue to feed Ukraine with an endless supply of weapons.

The elites really, really hate you.

Of course, this should not come as a surprise for those who have been following Lindsey Graham the past few years.

Graham promised several times to investigate Obamagate as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. This was a complete lie.

And it was Lindsey and his cohort John McCain who played a role in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

Serbian president resigns party leadership

Aleksandar Vucic will stay on as head of state, with his defense minister taking over the helm of the Serbian Progressive Party

President Aleksandar Vucic has stepped down as leader of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) after 11 years in charge, with Defense Minister Milos Vucevic set to take the position. Vucic, who will stay in office as president, announced his decision amid anti-government protests in Belgrade and clashes in Kosovo.

SNS delegates accepted Vucic’s resignation at a party conference in the city of Kragujevac on Saturday, electing Vucevic as his successor immediately afterwards.

Vucic assumed leadership of the SNS in 2012, taking over from Tomislav Nikolic. Vucic and Nikolic founded the party in 2008 after splitting with the nationalist Serbian Radical Party.

"I will never leave this party, I am proud to have led the best party all these years," Vucic told attendees, boasting of the SNS’ popular support even amid “the hybrid war that is being waged against our country.”

Vucic said that he will remain in office as president, and that the SNS will join a wider political movement which will be launched next month.

Vucic has faced large-scale protests in recent weeks, with demonstrators calling for his resignation and that of his top security officials after two mass shootings earlier this month. Vucic said last week that he had been tipped off to the presence of Western-sponsored activists at rallies in Belgrade, accusing them of plotting a “color revolution” against his government.

Meanwhile, Vucic announced on Friday that he had placed the Serbian armed forces on high alert following clashes between police and protesters in a majority-Serb town in the breakaway province of Kosovo earlier that day. The unrest broke out after the election of an ethnic Albanian mayor in a vote boycotted by the town’s Serb residents.

Around a dozen people were injured after police from Pristina fired stun grenades and tear gas at the protesting Serbs, local media reported.

Throughout his presidency, Vucic has sought to maintain ties to the US and EU on one hand, and Russia and China on the other. This has become a difficult position for Vucic, with EU leaders explicitly stating that Belgrade’s failure to sanction Moscow over the conflict in Ukraine harms Serbia’s chances of joining the European bloc.

When Western politicians visit Belgrade, he said earlier this month, their “first obligation is to explain to me that I am a jerk who did not introduce sanctions.” Vucic has repeatedly stated that he will not sanction Russia except in “circumstances where there is no way out.”

Fluoride Lawsuit Against EPA: Alleged Corruption, Shocking Under Oath Federal Statements

A groundbreaking federal lawsuit could ban fluoride from drinking water, overturning a decades-long program aimed at preventing cavities that has been challenged by mounting evidence of harm.

The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) sued the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act in 2017, and it appears to be nearing its conclusion. Under the act, citizens can challenge the EPA in court when the agency rejects a petition to ban or regulate a toxic substance. The FAN’s suit is the first in the 44-year history of the act to actually get to trial.

The lawsuit has included pointed testimony from leading experts on environmental toxins and admissions from both EPA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials that fluoride could be linked to specific harms. The lawsuit has also revealed government interference in crucial scientific findings.

Utah Target Evacuated After Reports of Trans Extremists Threatening to Bomb Multiple Target Locations for Removing Satanic Groomer Products

On Friday afternoon, a bomb threat to multiple locations prompted the evacuation of a Target store in Utah.

The incident unfolded at a Target store located at 810 West 2000 North in Layton, Utah. Law enforcement, including a bomb squad and K9 unit, immediately responded to the scene around 1 pm, according to local news outlet KUTV 2.

All customers and staff were directed to the parking lot as a precautionary measure.

The threats extended beyond the Layton location, with stores in Salt Lake, Taylorsville, and Provo also targeted.

In addition to the incidents in Utah, five Target stores located in Northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania were also threatened.

According to reports, authorities were alerted to the threats after local news stations received emails from trans terrorists threatening to bomb Target for removing Satanic groomer merchandise.

LA Nonprofit Giving Meth Pipes To Homeless Sparks Debate Over "Harm Reduction" Approach

After a video of a Los Angeles nonprofit handing out meth pipes to homeless addicts in downtown Los Angeles went viral earlier this month, some say the so-called “harm reduction model” of providing drug equipment and a supervised place to use is saving lives, while others say it’s harmful and only exacerbating the city’s and the state’s homelessness crisis.

A nonprofit, Homeless Health Care Los Angeles, became the center of the controversy earlier this month, after a video went viral on social media showing workers passing out the pipes in downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row.

Filmed by resident Tony Anthony, who lives in a nearby apartment, he told The Epoch Times he first heard about the issue in April and then began encountering it himself.

“I went out there to see for myself. It’s wrong what they’re doing, they’re giving them the tool to go out and get the drug,” he said. “I don’t think it’s helping them.”

Anthony said he understands why some services offer needle exchanges to prevent the spread of deadly diseases, but meth pipes just encourage drug use.

“You’re supposed to be helping people get off drugs, not helping them to stay on drugs,” he said. “I’ve seen what it does to people. When they smoke that methamphetamine, they go crazy, they take off their clothes, they run down the street, they break windows and break into cars and do all kinds of crazy things.”

According to the LA County Department of Public Health, the so-called Harm Reduction model focuses on “meeting people where they are,” by offering pipes and clean needles, supervised drug use, and overdose medication to help save lives.

Justin Trudeau Championing "2SLGBTQI+" Rights

When we first happened upon the below clip of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaking in a town hall event at the University of Winnipeg earlier in the week, we thought it must be parody footage. After all, what rational and serious individual can say with a straight face "2SLGBTQI+"…?

But the sad reality is that woke discourse in Canada as the only allowable public standard has long gone far beyond Portlandia levels of parody. Trudeau, ironically enough, was lambasting the ongoing pushback against Bud Light and other corporations for their so brazenly pushing trans dogma in ad campaigns. Trudeau said, "It's scary to see what's happening in the United States. Whether it's 2SLGBTQI+ rights that are being constantly attacked… my government will never let that happen."

2SLGBTQI+???

How many times did Trudeau have to practice this confusing tongue-twisting acronym in the mirror in order to say it in public?

But alas, in the land of Canada this is now a sacred official acronym, per an official government web page describing "2SLGBTQI+ terminology – Glossary and common acronyms".

The Canadian government source explains these things are "continuously evolving". Of course, we might add that this signals the Canadian people are soon to get bombarded with ever growing and long-winded 2SLGBTQI+ "explanations" for this expanding alphabet soup/Skittles list of acronyms and state-sanctioned terminology:

2SLGBTQI+ terminology is continuously evolving. As a result, it is important to note that this list is not exhaustive and these definitions are a starting point to understanding 2SLGBTQI+ identities and issues.

Different 2SLGBTQI+ individuals and communities may have broader or more specific understandings of these terms.

We're not sure precisely when the prime minister and his government upgraded from LGBTQI+ to 2SLGBTQI+, but again it must mean his officials are busy practicing just trying say this, or are at least trying to wrap their heads around the "2SL" part of it. Is it like upgrading to the next version of Microsoft Windows, or the luxury trim and model of a car?

UK to retain Russian assets until Kiev is compensated – Guardian

Moscow has described the seizures as theft and a violation of international law

British officials have confirmed that Russian state assets will not be returned even after the conflict in Ukraine is over, but only when Moscow pays reparations to Kiev, The Guardian reported on Friday.

According to Russian estimates, more than $300 billion of the country’s foreign currency reserves have been frozen due to Western sanctions. Additionally, billions more worth of assets belonging to Russian citizens and businesses have been seized.

Assets and reserves belonging to the Russian state, valued at £26 billion ($32.1 billion), are currently being held in the UK, according to the Bank of Russia.

British MPs and Ukrainian officials have been pressing for the frozen funds to be handed over to Kiev for reconstruction efforts. UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly insisted last week that Russia’s sovereign assets should remain immobilized until the nation agreed to pay compensation to Ukraine, according to the outlet.

The EU and its allies have been looking into methods of confiscating Russian assets, with the Council of Europe last week establishing a digital register of damage for Ukraine – a move that has been described as the first step towards creating an “international compensation mechanism.”

The register will be based in The Hague and will serve as “evidence and claims information on damage, loss or injury caused to individuals, and the Ukrainian state.”

Earlier, the Financial Times reported that EU officials were examining how they might send Kiev profits generated from some €196.6 billion ($211.1 billion) in Russian assets held at Euroclear. The Russian funds at the world’s largest settlement house have generated hundreds of millions of euros in interest over the past year.

However, Western officials are still facing legal challenges over the feasibility of seizing Russian money. According to professor of public international law at the University of Oxford, Antonios Tzanakopoulos, Russian assets are protected by sovereign immunity as an embodiment of the state. Therefore, confiscating these funds would be in breach of international law.

Moscow has called Western attempts to transfer the seized assets to Ukraine “barbarism” and “theft,” warning that Russia will respond in kind if necessary.

Serbia Orders Troops To Border, 'High State Of Alert,' Over Kosovo Clashes

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Friday announced he put the Serbian army on a "higher state of alert" due to clashes between ethnic Serbs and Kosovar police in northern Kosovo. The border region has been restive for months over what Belgrade sees as yet more anti-Serb policies.

"An urgent movement (of troops) to the Kosovo border has been ordered," Serbia's defence minister Milos Vucevic said in a national broadcast. "It is clear that the terror against the Serb community in Kosovo is happening."

Serbian leadership is also demanding that NATO peacekeeping forces immediately protect the Serbian community from Kosovo police, who have responded by saying they must crackdown on rioting and anti-police violence.

This latest flare-up in violence is over boycotted elections. Kosovo's Serb minority protested municipal elections in the north. They make up about 5% of the total population of 1.8 million. The Serbs have been demanding an association of Serbian municipalities previously promised by the local government.

Ethnic Albanians have rejected to proposal out of fears it could give rise to a pro-Serbian statelet which could then break away to be absorbed back into Serbia.

Target gave $2 million to LGBTQ education organization urging schools to hide gender transitions from parents, wants gender ideology integrated into math classes

Target continues to get castigated over its ties to controversial LGBTQ organizations and partners. Many Americans have found Target's partnerships so incendiary that there have been widespread boycotts of the big-box retail chain.

A Target boycott was organized after it was revealed that the retailer sells products from a designer promoting Satanism, LGBTQ onesies for babies, peddles "tuck-friendly" bathing suits, and drag queen books for young children.

As TheBlaze reported earlier this week, Target boasted of having a partnership with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network for over a decade.

"GLSEN leads the movement in creating affirming, accessible and anti-racist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students," Target declared on its website. "We are proud of 10+ years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission."

Laysha Ward, executive vice president and chief corporate social responsibility officer for Target, said in 2015, "Target and GLSEN share a belief that all children deserve the opportunity to learn and thrive in a safe environment. The voices and stories of the students and educators in this documentary show how far we’ve come as a nation and give us hope that all students can reach their full potential and be proud of who they are."

Fox News reported, "To date, the retail giant has donated at least $2.1 million to GLSEN, which offers districts and students guidance on how to hide gender transitions from parents."

GLSEN proclaims that it has a mission of "creating affirming learning environments for LGBTQ youth," providing "evidence-based solutions" for K-12 educators, and advising schools on policies "designed to protect LGBTQ students as well as students of marginalized identities."

"GLSEN has also opposed efforts by legislators to ban LGBTQ books with sexually explicit themes," according to the New York Post.

Fox News said, "GLSEN calls for gender ideology to be integrated into all classes, even math. It provides educators instructions on how they can make math 'more inclusive of trans and non-binary identities' by including 'they/them' pronouns in word problems."

The GLSEN blog advises math teachers on its blog, "When students are creating their own surveys, if they want to include data for biological sex, teachers need to be sure they include both intersex and other as choices, and if the students want to include data for gender, a variety of choices need to be included, such as agender, genderfluid, female, male, nonbinary, transman, transwoman, and other."

GLSEN demands that "mathematics teachers need to be respectful of students’ names and pronouns, they need to be sure their classes do not alienate any students, and they need to support LGBTQ activities such as Day of Silence, Trans Awareness Week, and Ally Week."

The LGBTQ advocacy education group provided lesson plans from a transgender science teacher.

Only 33% of BLM’s $90M in donations helped charitable foundations

Black Lives Matter’s national organization doled out just over $30 million — 33% of the nearly $90 million it received in public donations from 2020 to 2022 — to charitable foundations, public filings show.

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, an Oakland, California-based non-profit, gave away the $30,498,722 in grants to black, trans and anti-police non-profits in the fiscal years for 2020 and 2021, according to two federal filings which cover the periods from July 1 2020 to June 30, 2022.

That total includes the $4.5 million the group doled out last year to non-profits run by the movement’s own supporters and friends — even as BLMGNF registered losses of more than $8.5 million last year, its latest public filings for the fiscal year 2021 show.

The group also gave a grant to one of its harshest former critics, paying out $400,000 to the Tamir Rice Foundation.

BLMGNF handed out millions of dollars to supporters of its co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who resigned from the group in 2021. The Post revealed Friday that her lucrative TV deal with Warner Bros. had ended without producing any shows.

Among those taken care of by BLMGNF is Cullors’ brother, Paul Cullors. The self-taught graffiti artist took home $139,708, making him one of only two members of the seven-person board to receive a salary from BLMGNF, according to filings. The other payee was Kailee Scales, the group’s former managing director, who received a payout of $114,625. Scales left the organization in 2020, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Paul Cullors’ company, Black Ties Security, LLC was one of the group’s highest paid contractors, earning $756,330 in 2021 in “security services.”

The security company, which is run out of a UPS store in Mission Hills, California, is close to Paul Cullors’ home.

He purchased the three-bedroom house in the Los Angeles suburbs in February 2021 for $637,006, according to public records.

In 2020, the previous fiscal year, filings show BLMGNF paid another company controlled by Paul Cullors — Cullors Security LLC — $840,993.

That company, which is still active, was registered with the address of his Mission Hills home, according to public records.

BLM’s national group also gave a $400,000 grant to the Tamir Rice Foundation, which was set up by Samaria Rice, the mother of the 12-year-old African American boy who was killed by a white policeman in 2014 while playing with a toy gun.

Rice, who started her foundation in 2018 to conduct after school arts programs for at-risk children, had been a vehement critic of Cullors and BLM.

She claimed that the group did not support mothers of black children who had been killed in police violence and pointed the finger at Cullors, blaming her for the disarray in the organization.

“They are benefiting off the blood of our loved ones, and they won’t even talk to us,” Rice told The Post in 2021.

DeSantis Presidential Campaign Says It Raised Over $8 Million in First 24-hours

While Ron DeSantis’ official announcement that he was running for president, which he made on Twitter, and for which Twitter CEO Elon Musk served as host, was glitched filled, DeSantis raked in $8.2 million in the 24 hours following the announcement, breaking the previous mark of $6.3 million that Joe Biden raised on the initial day of his White House run in 2019.

“The tremendous support we’ve experienced in the last 24 hours will be critical as we hit the ground running in the early nominating states to share Governor DeSantis’ plan to revitalize the American Spirit,” DeSantis campaign manager Generra Peck said in a statement touting the early financial numbers.

DeSantis, 44, joined five other prominent Republicans officially vying to be the Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election: former President Donald Trump, 76; two-term South Carolina governor and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, 51; South Carolina U.S. Senator Tim Scott, 57; biotech magnate Vivek Ramaswamy, 37; and former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson, 72.

The Candidates’ Cash

The Epoch Times took a look at campaign finance data, including the most recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings which were updated on the final day of March.

Desantis’ out-of-the-gates $8.2 million raised adds to an already well-funded war chest. He has $86 million available through a political action committee (PAC), Friends of Ron DeSantis.

And, while DeSantis trails by large measure frontrunner Donald Trump in the race for the Republican nomination, he holds an advantage, at least for now, in money at hand and fundraising.

Trump’s presidential campaign account has a balance of $13.9 million, and there is $18.3 million in his PAC Save America ($18.3 million), for a total of $32.2 million he can access.

Another GOP hopeful with a solid balance sheet is Tim Scott, one of Congress’ most successful and effective fundraisers. His 2022 Senate reelection run, which he completed by winning 63 percent of the vote, brought in more than $41 million, about $22 million of which was unspent and he has made available to his presidential campaign.

In the first 24 hours after Scott announced he was running for president, he raised in the neighborhood of $2 million.

Nikki Haley has $4.1 million in her campaign account.

Vivek Ramaswamy, in large part because of his personal wealth, that Forbes estimates at $600 million, is a bit of an unknown in terms of his campaign spending potential. He loaned his campaign 10.25 million, raised 1.7 million, and has $9.4 million on hand.

Still a Longshot

DeSantis will follow the online kickoff of his Great America Comeback Tour run for the presidency with an on-the-ground event on May 30 in Iowa, the state that in 2024 holds the first-in-the-nation Republican presidential primary caucus on Feb. 5. Then the Florida governor goes on a four-day tour of early primary states.

Biden Deputy: We Want More White-Collar Migrants amid Layoffs

Fortune 500 companies are firing hundreds of thousands of American professionals, but President Joe Biden’s deputies want to import more foreign white-collar workers for jobs that would go to better-paid American graduates.

“We currently have at least ten million job vacancies right now in the United States,” including jobs in the government-funded computer-chip sector, White House official Katie Tobin claimed during a speech at the American Enterprise Insitute, adding:

Of course, the priority is retraining Americans to fill those jobs. Then we really view this as such an opportunity to transform, you know, manufacturing and so many other industries here domestically.

But this does create a demand for increased high-skilled labor from other parts of the world, and so that is something that we’re working with the State Department on and DHS [Department of Homeland Security] … to make it easier for [migrants] that have these skill sets that we think can really contribute to implementing these new policies, that we can bring them in faster (emphasis added).

Tobin did not explain why she sides with the nation’s six million employers as they negotiate recruitment and salaries with the U.S. workforce of roughly 60 million white-collar employees.

But Tobin’s push for more foreign white-collar workers is being backed up by her White House colleagues, Hill legislators, investor-funded advocacy groups, op-eds, university-based advocacy centers, and leading investors amid large tech-sector layoffs.

“Like It or Not, America Needs Chinese Scientists,” claimed a May 25 op-ed in the New York Times that did not mention how many university scientists prefer to use cheaper foreign students for lab workers.

Eric Schmidt, an investor, and a former Google CEO, wrote in the May 16 issue of Foreign Affairs:

U.S. semiconductor companies will have 300,000 unfilled vacancies for skilled engineers by 2030. Targeting, training, and recruiting hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens will be impossible in such a compressed time frame … if Washington wants to stay ahead and achieve the promise of the CHIPS and Science Act, it must act to remove the needless complexities to make its immigration system more transparent and create new pathways for the brightest minds to come to the United States.

Meta Slashes Another 6,000 Jobs — Including Instagram’s Head of Music Partnerships

Meta conducts its latest round of layoffs as part of its ‘Year of Efficiency,’ cutting approximately 6,000 jobs, including Instagram’s Head of Music Partnerships.

As part of Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta’s so-called “Year of Efficiency,” — restructuring en masse to save money — the company is waging its latest round of layoffs. These cuts impact around 6,000 people, including Instagram’s Head of Music Partnerships, Perry Bashkoff.

Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in March that he would cut 10,000 jobs across two rounds of layoffs at the end of April and May — despite already eliminating 11,000 jobs in November. Additionally, Meta stopped recruiting for around 5,000 open roles.

This week’s layoffs targeted primarily business roles, while April’s layoffs mainly impacted tech teams. Altogether, around 21,000 people have lost their jobs at Meta, reducing the company’s headcount by about a quarter since November, when the company had approximately 87,000 employees.

“Yes, I was one of them,” wrote Perry Bashkoff, Instagram’s Head of Music Partnerships until this week’s layoffs, on his LinkedIn post. “I’ve been one of the lucky ones who has had a 25+ year career run without pause. The past five spent at Instagram/Meta bringing music to the masses, building tools, breaking artists, building relationships, and having some of the most fun I’ve ever had doing ‘work.'”

While employees knew this latest round of cuts was coming, the loss of thousands of team members has left morale understandably low at Meta. Waiting for months to find out if you’ll be out of a job is stressful enough, but this might mean losing a work visa or healthcare for some employees.

Meta spent $13.7 billion last year on Reality Labs, the department for its metaverse developments, as Zuckerberg has insisted that VR and mixed reality experiences will be core to the future of social media and connection. Meanwhile, investors have been skeptical.

“A narrative has developed that we’re somehow moving away from focusing on the metaverse vision, so I just want to say up front that that’s not accurate,” said Zuckerberg in a quarterly earnings call last month. “We’ve been focusing on AI and the metaverse, and we will continue to.”

DHS funding universities with taxpayer money to BRAINWASH students into believing that Christians and Republicans are “Nazis”

The conservative watchdog group Media Research Center has obtained documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request showing that the Biden regime is quietly sending American taxpayer dollars to universities so they can brainwash students into believing that Christians and Republicans are “Nazis.”

Funneling the money through a so-called “anti-terrorism” grant initiative, Biden and his henchmen are paying institutions of higher learning to lump members of the Republican Party and those who trust in Jesus Christ for salvation into the same category as the Nazi Party.

“This terrorism task force is engaged in an active effort to demonize and eliminate Christian, conservative, and Republican organizations using federal taxpayer dollars,” said Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center.

“What we have uncovered calls for criminal prosecution. The American people need to know those who are abusing their positions in the federal government will be held accountable for their criminal behavior.”

Be sure to check out the report that the Media Research Center compiled about its findings, revealing why the Biden regime needs to be prosecuted.

Biden has already funneled $40 million via 80 grants into various anti-conservative, antichrist initiatives

The grant program in question is run by the DHS and is called the “Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program,” or TVTP. It funnels taxpayer cash into various public, private and non-profit institutions, including colleges and universities and even local county governments.

The stated goal of the program is “to establish or enhance capabilities to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.” In order to qualify for a grant, applicants must be based in the U.S. and implement a U.S.-based program.

So far, the Biden regime has awarded 80 grants through the TVTP totaling just under $40 million. The lowest grant amounted to just $85,000 while the highest was over $1.1 million, with the median gravitating around $442,000.

According to the official DHS requirements, all recipients of TVTP grants are prohibited from engaging in any kind of viewpoint discrimination – at least on paper. We know through the work of the Media Research Center that TVTP grant recipients are doing just that: openly discriminating against conservatives, Christians, and other targeted demographics.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the TVTP was first launched by Barack Hussein Obama, though under a different name. It was also far less obvious about its true intentions during the Obama days, having only recently manifested its true intentions as an anti-white initiative designed to ethnically, politically, and religiously “cleanse” America of all right-wing Christians and their families, in essence.

FBI Raids Democrat Politician’s Home Over Hack Of Tucker Carlson: Report

An FBI raid on the home of a local Tampa Bay politician and her blogger husband is reportedly connected to a federal criminal investigation into a hack of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show.

The FBI raided the home of leftist blogger Tim Burke and his wife, far-Left Tampa City Council member Lynn Hurtak, earlier this month, but did not disclose any details.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that it obtained a letter that federal prosecutors sent to Fox News that described “an ongoing criminal probe into computer hacks at the company, including unaired video from Tucker Carlson’s show.”

While the letter does not mention Burke, multiple sources familiar with the matter told the publication that the raid of the home is connected with the alleged hacks of Fox News.

The investigation centers around the leak of unaired footage of Carlson’s interview with now-disgraced rapper Kanye West and numerous video leaks in recent weeks that were published by the leftist organization Media Matters.

The letter said that Vice News, which published the Kanye West clips; Media Matters; and Fox News employees were not accused of any wrongdoing in the investigation.

Burke has gone radio silent ever since the raid and has largely stopped posting content online.

The report said that the letter outlined numerous federal statutes that may have been violated, including unauthorized computer access, interception of communications, conspiracy, and other crimes.

Foreign-Born Workers Now Make Up Nearly One-Fifth Of American Workforce

The share of the American workforce composed of foreign-born workers rose to record levels last year, a phenomenon which comes as immigration surges in the wake of worldwide lockdowns and as the nation’s economy grapples with labor shortages.

Workers born in other nations comprised 18.1% of the workforce in 2022, according to data released last week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, marking an increase from 17.4% in 2021. Hispanics account for nearly half of the foreign-born labor force, while Asians account for one-quarter of the foreign-born labor force. Average weekly earnings for foreign-born workers were $945 last year, while weekly earnings for their native-born counterparts were $1,087.

Native-born workers were more likely than foreign-born workers to hold positions in management, professional, and sales occupations, while the latter were more likely to work in service, natural resources, construction, logistics, and maintenance. Labor force participation among native-born males was 66.0% compared to 77.4% for foreign-born men.

The heightened level of foreign-born workers as a share of the overall workforce occurs as the United States and other nations reverse public health mandates that slowed immigration and temporary residency. One analysis from Pew Research Center found that there has been a rise in “the number of immigrants receiving green cards as new lawful permanent residents, as well as a partial rebound in arrivals by foreign students, tourists, and other lawful temporary migrants.”

Illegal immigration has meanwhile soared to record levels over the past two years: as many as 5.5 million migrants have crossed into the United States under the Biden administration, according to data from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Critics of immigration policies forwarded by the White House have asserted that lackluster emphasis on securing the border and increased resources for migrants who enter the country have worsened the crisis.

Several cities and at least one state declared emergencies this month as officials prepare for the conclusion of Title 42, a statute which permitted authorities to quickly turn away migrants at the southern border on public health grounds. Large groups of illegal immigrants have been recorded amassing at the border and seeking to enter the country between ports of entry.

The labor market over the past three years has widely been considered a bright spot in an otherwise dismal economic landscape marked by record inflation and persistent supply chain bottlenecks. Low labor force participation across the economy, on the other hand, has worsened both trends as businesses raise wages to fill their payrolls and attract or retain more workers. Excess retirements amid the lockdown-induced recession have been identified as a factor contributing to decreased labor force participation.

There were 30.0 million foreign-born workers in the United States as of last month, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, eclipsing the 27.7 million workers counted in the month before the lockdowns and significantly surpassing 22.0 million workers three years ago. There were meanwhile 131.1 million native-born workers last month, according to more data, a figure which remains below levels recorded before the recession.

Foreign-born workers composed some 15.0% of the workforce in 2005, according to more data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

McCarthy says Congress will meet June 5 debt ceiling deadline

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Saturday that Congress will meet the deadline to raise the debt ceiling, acknowledging that no deal has been made but vowing an agreement will be reached in time to prevent a government default.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen raised the stakes in the marathon negotiations on Friday, when she provided the first hard deadline for when the government will be unable to pay down all of its obligations: June 5.

Asked if Congress can meet that deadline, McCarthy didn’t hesitate.

“Yes,” he said shortly after arriving at the Capitol Saturday morning for another round of talks.

McCarthy vowed that he’ll stick with the 72-hour rule — providing lawmakers a full three days to read the text of the legislation before they’re asked to vote on it — and said he’s been in talks with Senate leaders about how much time they’ll need to ensure the June 5 deadline is met.

“Everybody won’t like what is the end of the agreement … on both sides,” he said. “But … at the end of the day I think people should see what that product is before people vote on it.”

If a deal is reached Saturday, that would set the stage for a House vote on Tuesday, he said.

McCarthy declined to name the barriers that remain as he and his deputies haggle with White House negotiators over the last outstanding disagreements. But he said Republicans have not dropped their demand for permitting reform, designed to eliminate regulatory hurdles to energy infrastructure projects, which Democrats have opposed for fear that it would degrade the environment at the expense of poor communities.

“We did make progress, we worked well into early this morning. Some things we just have to finish out,” he said.

McCarthy also confirmed that Republicans have been in discussions with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and moderate Democrats on particular issues — a dynamic that is sure to infuriate liberals, some of whom will be needed to get any deal through the House.

“I know we talk to the White House often, but there are Democrats, from Joe Manchin, from Sinema, from Josh Gottheimer, and others. We gather ideas from them, too, when we’re trying to solve the problem,” McCarthy said. “There are Democrats that are policy experts in certain areas that we’re dealing with, we want to get their [perspective], too.”

The Speaker outlined the rollout of any deal, saying he would make a vague announcement but withhold the details of any agreement to allow lawmakers to read the legislation before the press and the public do.

“I think it’s disrespectful that they learn about it someplace else,” he said.

McCarthy said the package won’t be a thousand-page colossus, predicting it would weigh in at “150 pages or less.”

“It will not be a long bill,” he said.

Epstein Trafficking Ring: JPMorgan Chase’s Defense Motion Reveals Shocking Virgin Island Officials’ Involvement in the Pedophile’s Criminal Activities – Former USVI First Lady Was a Paid Epstein Employee!

A string of interconnected civil suits has been raging in New York Federal Court, pitting Epstein trafficking victims against JPMorgan Chase and Deutsch bank, as well as the US Virgin Islands territory against the very same banks.

The victims’ case against the banks is looking strong, if the latest Judge rulings are to be taken as parameter (link). So much, so, that Deutsch bank has settled a few days ago with the Epstein victim plaintiffs to the tune of US$75 million.

JPMorgan is also preemptively suing its former top executive Jes Staley, to have him reimburse any damages they may face – which at this point seems a likely scenario.

But on the USVI suit, the situation is not so clear-cut: JPMorgan Chase has just filed a fiery ‘Opposition to an USVI motion to strike’ their ‘affirmative defenses’.

It’s a legal filing attempting to demonstrate that there’s plenty of blame to go around when it comes to the government of the US Virgin Islands territory’s mishandling of (and complicity with) Jeffrey Epstein.

The bank legal team argues that these facts disqualify the territory from seeking damages in civil court.

In the process, the filing sheds light in some jaw-dropping and disturbing realities about the link between the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring and the USVI government.

The opening of the Judicial motion sets the tone:

“Plaintiff Government of the United States Virgin Islands (“USVI”) is complicit in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein could have lived anywhere in the world. He chose USVI. Discovery obtained in this case reveals why. For two decades, Epstein maintained a quid pro quo relationship with USVI’s highest ranking officials. He gave them money, advice, influence, and favors. In exchange, they shielded and even rewarded him, granting him more than $[redacted] million in tax incentives.”

The banks motion further states that “the entity that most directly failed to protect public safety and most actively facilitated and benefited from Epstein’s continued criminal activity was the plaintiff in this case—the USVI government itself.’

After getting out of jail in 2009, Epstein had the supervision of his parole transferred from Florida to the USVI territory, where he registered as a sex offender and maintained his ‘primary residence’ – putting him under USVI law enforcement’s direct jurisdiction and supervision.

IRS whistleblower provides Congress origins of Biden probe, evidence of political interference

Special Agent Gary Shapley turned over 23 pages of evidence, gave six hours of testimony to House Ways and Means Committee.

A decorated IRS agent provided Congress six hours of testimony and seven critical documents Friday that gave lawmakers insights into the origins of the Hunter Biden criminal tax probe and evidence of political interference inside the Justice Department dating to the 2020 election.

Gary Shapley, an IRS supervisory criminal investigator granted whistleblower status, testified before the House Ways and Means Committee, fielding questions from staff from Democrat and Republican lawmakers, his legal team announced.

Sources familiar with the session told Just the News that Shapley turned over seven documents totaling 23 pages that summarized the evidence and predicate for the original investigation into the taxes and overseas finances of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son.

The memos also summarized multiple instances dating to 2020 in which DOJ officials thwarted, hampered or interfered with the frontline career investigators’ efforts – ranging from blocking certain tactics to allowing tolling agreements to expire that extended the statute of limitations on certain alleged offenses. Shapley described IRS and FBI agents being concerned by the interference.

The lawyers for Shapley, Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt, declined to discuss the specific of his testimony but confirmed the session occurred and that it involved bipartisan questioning.

"IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley testified for about six hours today to Democrat and Republican staff of the House Ways and Means Committee," his legal team said in a statement. "Both sides had equal opportunity to ask whatever questions they wanted, and Special Agent Shapley answered all of their questions."

Shapley's name had been concealed prior to Wednesday, when Just the News confirmed his identity. He has alleged that federal prosecutors engaged in "preferential treatment and politics" to prevent charges from being brought against Hunter Biden as part of an ongoing tax investigation.

In a brief interview with CBS ahead of his testimony, Shapley previewed the concerns that led him to reach out to the DOJ inspector general and Congress as a whistleblower.

"There were multiple steps that were slow-walked – were just completely not done – at the direction of the Department of Justice," the 14-year veteran agent told CBS.

"When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I've experienced in the past,” he also said.

Shapley, a widely respected IRS agent who helped the agency build big cases included against Swiss banks, first approached the government’s internal watchdog with the help of whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid late last year.

The Thirst For Truth – Big Picture Explanation of What Happened in the Past 15 Years That Flipped the Social, Cultural, Media, Leftist and Govt Relationship

Essentially, the framework of the conversation, as I initially listened, is best described as a series of questions amid a group of smart intellectual types who are very understanding of the nature of our current situation.

In various forms they were asking each other the same question. What happened in the last several years that caused Democrats, leftists and the traditional political left to switch positions on their advocacy?

Liberalism literally went from railing against Big Govt, to embracing corrupt Big Govt. Why and how did this happen?

In short, it was the same line of questioning I have seen asked by Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald, Tulsi Gabbard and various traditionally liberal people as well as people on the right side of the continuum.

Why and how did traditional liberalism so suddenly flip from being, big picture – ‘anti-government’, to suddenly embracing corrupt government enterprise, and supporting the intelligence apparatus, federal govt (writ large), institutional oppressive law enforcement and FBI etc.? What happened?

After listening to this conversation quietly, as I am prone to do, my remarks -with citations and examples- silenced the room.

At the conclusion of my remarks, everyone asked me if I had ever written about this, and if not – why not? I did not have an answer, so consider this a promise fulfilled. Perhaps you might find value.

In the 50 years that preceded 2008, traditional leftists, media activists, left-wing community organizing agencies, Democrats, liberals, progressives, or whatever label you want to assign, essentially railed against the U.S. government and all that it represented. However, now, if you were to look at the issues from the 30,000-foot perspective, those same groups currently support the oppressive & weaponized system of government they formerly despised.

In the 50 years that preceded 2008, those same groups had an approach of distrust toward government, and the media apparatus had a very distinct supportive and cynical outlook, favorable to the leftist anti-government perspective. Now, all of that has reversed – seemingly flipped.

In the 50 years that preceded 2008, media pushed a one-way narrative in defense of those who were “targeted” by the institutions and mechanisms of government. As the activists railed against the regime, the media framed narratives to excuse the transparently guilty. Now, that entire dynamic has reversed. Now we see the media pushing a narrative in support of weaponized government targeting, and – here’s the kicker – framing the transparently innocent.

The activists went from accusing government of wrongdoing and defending the transparently guilty – to aligning with government, excusing government wrongdoing, and helping to attack the transparently innocent.

DeSantis’s ‘Never Back Down’ PAC Advisor Backs Down, Leaves PAC.

A long-time Ron DeSantis advisor is “stepping down” from his role with the Florida governor’s presidential campaign political action committee: the ‘Never Back Down PAC’. The news comes one month after The National Pulse revealed that Cox was also a partner at the parent firm of pro-DeSantis pollster, Gp3, also known as ‘POS Strategies’.

Cox served as the political director for DeSantis’s reelection campaign just last year, and was described as leading “the strategy and messaging for the super PAC.”

A board member for Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund, Cox’s reason for departure is still unknown, with POLITICO reporter Alex Isenstadt reporting: “Phil Cox is stepping down from his volunteer role at the pro-DeSantis Never Back Down super PAC, per person familiar. People close to Cox say he remains a supporter of DeSantis.”

Bizarrely, Cox was spotted golfing a few hours before Donald Trump himself teed off at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Thursday.

Secret Document: Germany’s Bundeswehr is Preparing to Wage War on Russia

General warns of possible Russian attack on Germany

While there are divisions within NATO, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock –who assiduously studied foreign policy in Klaus Schwab’s WEF Forum of Young Global Leaders (YGL)– confirmed in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) (January 25, 2023), that Germany and its allies [NATO] are at war with Russia:

“Baerbock’s comments come on the heels of nearly a year of direct Russophobic narrative, including openly declared plans for war with Russia.

In mid-November 2022, Der Spiegel published a leaked German Defense Ministry document [68 pages], revealing that the Bundeswehr is preparing for war with Russia [See below]

The secret document titled “Operational guidelines for the Armed Forces” was drafted by Germany’s Chief of Staff, General Eberhard Zorn.

“He stressed the need for a “mega-reform” of the German military and clearly identified Russia as an “immediate threat”. Infobrics

Translation of the above (From German by Global Research)

Feared confrontation with Russia

Preparation for “forced war” – The Bundeswehr must become significantly more powerful”

In a confidential strategy paper, General Chief of Staff Zorn swears that the Bundeswehr will face tough years ahead. A conflict with Russia is becoming more likely. The troops must concentrate fully on defence [Abwehr] against an attack.

What this bold statement suggests is that Germany and its allies should “defend themselves” (plural) against a Russian attack.

“The most important is that we do it together, we are fighting against Russia”

Australian Medical Association calls for national regulations around AI in health care

Doctors in Perth have been ordered not to use AI bot technology, with authorities concerned about patient confidentiality.

Key points:

Staff at five Perth hospitals have been told not to use AI like ChatGPT

There is concern patient records could be accessed by hackers

But artificial intelligence is already revolutionising healthcare

In an email obtained by the ABC, Perth's South Metropolitan Health Service (SMHS), which spans five hospitals, said some staff had been using software, such as ChatGPT, to write medical notes which were then being uploaded to patient record systems.

"Crucially, at this stage, there is no assurance of patient confidentiality when using AI bot technology, such as ChatGPT, nor do we fully understand the security risks," the email from SMHS chief executive, Paul Forden said.

"For this reason, the use of AI technology, including ChatGPT, for work-related activity that includes any patient or potentially sensitive health service information must cease immediately."

Since the directive, the service has clarified that only one doctor used the AI tool to generate a patient discharge summary and there had been no breach of patient confidential information.

Call for national regulations

However, the case highlights the level of concern in the health sector about the new models of unregulated AI that continue to be let loose on the market.

Australia's peak medical association is urging caution and calling for national regulations to control the use of artificial intelligence in the healthcare system.

The Australian Medical Association's WA President, Mark Duncan-Smith, said he did not think the use of tools like ChatGPT was widespread in the profession.

"Probably there are some medical geeks out there who are just giving it a go and seeing what it's like," Dr Duncan-Smith said.

"I'm not sure how it would save time or effort.

"It runs the risk of betraying the patient's confidence and confidentiality and it's certainly not appropriate at this stage."

That view is shared by Alex Jenkins, who heads up the WA Data Science Innovation Hub at Curtin University.

Queensland Government's investigation into e-cigarettes finds 'staggering' levels of nicotine and toxic materials

A study conducted to educate the public about the ingredients in vapes has found a "staggering" amount of nicotine, heavy metals and carcinogens inside the colourful and fruit flavoured devices.

People who use vapes have been found to be ingesting an alarming number of poisonous substances which can cause serious damage.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk requested parliament’s Environment Committee to investigate vapes amid concerns consumers were unaware what the fruit flavoured smoking devices contain.

The results revealed “staggering” amounts of nicotine along with toxic chemicals including arsenic and formaldehyde - group 1 human carcinogen.

The committee analysed the chemical composition of 17 e-liquid samples currently available of the Queensland vape market.

E-cigarettes are often branded in bright colours and flavoured with fruits and sweeteners – such as IGET Bar Grape Ice and HQD Cuvie Plus Strawberry Watermelon – making them more appealing than traditional cigarettes.

Every vape tested contained some levels of nicotine with some measuring up to 47,000 milligrams per kilogram which would mean a 5ml vape is the equivalent of six packets of cigarettes, according to the Courier Mail.

The tested samples also contained at least two carbonyl compounds, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, which can damage DNA and prevent the body from repairing damage.

All samples also contained Volatile Organic Compounds which are typically used in the manufacture of paints, pharmaceuticals and refrigerants.

The tested vapes were also filled with arsenic, zinc and other toxic metals including lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, antimony, aluminium, iron, nickel, barium, manganese, copper, strontium and vanadium.

Many of the heavy metals found in vapes can cause cancer, cause mutations, affect reproduction and result in neurological abnormalities.

Premier Palaszczuk said she called for the study to educate the public about what they are inhaling when vaping.

“I asked the Health and Environment Committee to look at this issue and these results are staggering,” she said.

Obama-Linked GLSEN Organization Was Handing Out ‘Fisting Kits’ to Children at Public Conference – Now Target Is Partnering with GLSEN in Promoting Gender Transition in Schools

Retail giant Target has partnered with GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network), a group that advocates policies that keep parents unaware of their child’s in-school gender transition, providing sexually explicit books to schools, and pushing gender ideology throughout public school curricula.

According to the report, GLSEN is a radical education group leading efforts to create ‘inclusive and anti-racist environments’ for LGBTQIA+ students.

“GLSEN believes that every student has the right to a safe, supportive, and LGBTQ-inclusive K-12 education. We are a national network of educators, students, and local GLSEN Chapters working to make this right a reality,” the website reads.

Target Corporation has confirmed its collaboration with GLSEN and expressed pride in their decade-long partnership. The company has been making annual donations to GLSEN, emphasizing its support for the organization’s mission.

In March 2000 the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) organization of Massachusetts held its 10 Year Anniversary GLSEN/Boston conference at Tufts University. This conference was fully supported by the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Safe Schools Program, the Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and some of the presenters even received federal money. During the 2000 conference, workshop leaders led a “youth only, ages 14-21” session that offered lessons in “fisting” a dangerous sexual practice. During the same workshop an activist asked 14 year-old students, “Spit or swallow?… Is it rude?” The unbelievable audio clip is posted here. Barack Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings is the founder of GLSEN. He was paid $273,573.96 as its executive director in 2007. Jennings was the keynote speaker at the 2000 GLSEN conference.

Unfortunately for GLSEN, undercover journalists with Mass Resistance recorded these outrageous sessions. The audio was later leaked to a local radio station. This created such an uproar that GLSEN leaders were forced to apologize for their disgusting behavior.

Kevin Jennings and his GLSEN organization did nothing to clean up their act. In fact in 2001 activists handed out “fisting kits” to the children and teachers who attended the GLSEN conference.

That’s correct. Fisting kits.

At Kevin Jennings’ 2001 GLSEN Conference an estimated 400 student attendees were given their own “fisting kit.”

Mass News reported on the 2001 conference.

The Gateway Pundit wrote several posts on on this disgusting organization back in 2009. At the time, it was too horrible for the American public to believe at the time. That was too bad. Today GLSEN is working with major US Corporations like Target to push their agenda.

That was over 10 years ago.

Judge Denies Defendants’ Sanctions Against Kari Lake – Lake to Appeal Dismissed Lawsuit!

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson ruled yesterday on sanctions and attorneys’ fees requested by Defendants in her election lawsuit on remand.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson dismissed Kari Lake’s lawsuit against the stolen 2022 Midterm Election late Monday night, following a three-day trial exposing election misconduct and fraudulent mail-in ballot signature verification.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Kari Lake plans to appeal the bogus ruling. Lake said in a recent press conference she will “continue pushing our case to the United States Supreme Court.”

Maricopa County Attorneys then filed for sanctions against Lake to intimidate and discredit Lake and her attorneys again.

Most of the “misrepresentations” alleged by Maricopa County in their latest request related to Lake’s attorneys’ Motion for Relief from Judgement prior to trial and asking the Court to vacate its dismissal of Counts II, V, and VI. Only one point was made alleging that Lake’s signature verification fraud claim was “frivolous,” where Maricopa County claimed that Lake’s whistleblowers “confirmed that signature verification occurred.”

They did not even mention the claim by Lake’s attorneys that approximately 274,000 ballot signatures were compared and verified in less than three seconds because it is true! Maricopa County’s own log file data proves this, and they know it.

The Judge ruled that "even if her argument did not prevail, Lake, through her witness, presented facts consistent with and in support of her legal argument," and sanctions are not warranted.

This was a good save by Thompson, who is loathed by the voters of Arizona for his repeated weakness in Kari Lake's case.

Kari Lake War Room tweeted, "The Judge has DENIED requests by Maricopa County & Katie Hobbs for sanctions against @KariLake. We knew the Fake News narrative would collapse. Now it has. Kari Lake will NEVER stop fighting to restore election integrity to the people of Arizona!"
