The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. According to the calendar it is April 5. One would not know that looking at the lakes here in the frozen tundra. Before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few house keeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Slinger) 1. This is an open thread unless you are that person, then it is not. But for the remainder of you it is an open thread and feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2. Be kind, be nice. Most trolls are mentally ill. And no jumping on the furniture.
3. Running with sharp objects is not permitted. You are not even allowed to think about it.
4. Have a nice weekend.

Top Story
- In a pre-emptive response to the latest reciprocal tariffs, China has banned the sale of terbium, erbium, thulium, and thallium to the United States, so-called "rare earth" elements critical to the production of advanced technology such as Nixie tubes and bubble memory. (Tom's Hardware)
There are a few things to note here:
First, of course, it makes little sense to make a totalitarian fascist dystopia your sole supplier of anything.
Second, rare earth elements are not rare. What they are is messy and annoying to extract and refine, a fact that China used to take over the market. Australia, Brazil, Canada, and, yes, the United States all have significant mineral reserves available. And studies suggest that a square mile of seafloor mud is enough to provide the entire world with these metals for a year.
Third, China of course does this kind of thing all the time, and has restricted or outright banned sales of rare earth elements to other countries before.
Fourth, and perhaps most interesting, China now only produces 10% of its own rare earth resources. The same problem with them being messy and annoying to extract led it to move production to illegal mining camps operating in Burma, bypassing what passes for the government and working with local militias.

The Week In Woke
New Hampshire teacher argues against a proposed parental bill of rights, telling parents that if they want to take control over their child's education back from viciously-stupid leftwing state teachers unions, they should just send their kids to private school. That teacher is president of the NH affiliate of Randi Shutdown Weingarten's American Federation of Teachers Union. We are, in fact, going to make school choice the rule almost everywhere, except in your blue state shitholes, and you will all lose your jobs as "teachers." You will finally see what your teaching degrees are worth in the private sector. You always claim you could be making $200,000 per year if not for your selfless devotion to teaching children how to have anal sex with drag queens; you will soon have that interesting theory put to the real-world acid test. And the rest of us will laugh and laugh and laugh...
Lena Dunham beached herself to talk about Trans Visibility. "Trans Visibility" is the political delusion that if you just force transgenderism into people's faces 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks per year for every year from now until the end of time, people will be forced by exhaustion and social coercion into accepting it as normal and preferred. This strategy is actually backfiring, as more people oppose transgenderism now than when it was less visible and omnipresent, but the cultists will not stop.
Left-leaning but principled free speech advocate Matt Taibbi is suing a leftwing Regime Democrat congresswoman for libeling him as a "serial sex harasser." While she first tossed out this libel in Congress, where her defamations are protected, she then repeated it on social media, where it's not.
Well, I mean, it's not supposed to be, but dang if leftwing judges don't keep "discovering" that Akshually when a Democrat congressman libels you outside of Congress, there are Penumbras and Emanations that immunize him against suit.

@LizMacDonaldFOX Biden and Obama's abuse of taxpayers is truly shocking. Now Biden has a Solyndra problem. Just like Obama, Biden blew billions of your taxpayer $$ on energy companies now going bankrupt. Several energy companies that got big loans from the Biden administration's $400 billion green energy slush pot loan program are reportedly facing difficulties and potential bankruptcy. Li-Cycle Holdings, a battery recycling company, got a $375 million loan commitment but has warned investors about its potential bankruptcy. It got that loan within days of Biden losing to Trump, as part of the $20 billion in loans that were rushed out the door before Trump took office. CEO Ajay Kochhar reportedly worried his company couldn't afford to repay, but Biden officials pressured him to take the money according to reports. Biden's green energy loan czar Jigar Shah according to the Wall Street Journal told its top officials to "get your ass to Pittsburgh" in order to get the loan. Sunnova Energy got a $3 billion loan guarantee, and is also on the verge of bankruptcy. Plug Power, another recipient of a $1.6 billion loan guarantee, has announced layoffs. The Energy Dept's Inspector General already warned about massive potential fraud in this energy loan program.
Testanero had spotted her personal demon. Not a man. Not even a policy. A hat. Not just any hat. The hat. The MAGA cap -- poly-blend, unironically worn, clashing perfectly with her curated contempt. Alberta -- a Murray Hill progressive, Fashion Institute of Technology pedigree, luxury-brand whisperer -- had spent a career aligning handbags with identity. But here, aboard the late-night 6 train, she found a brand she could not abide: a brown-skinned young man wearing that red lid. He smiled. She snarled. Testanero convened a focus group of one. "If you f--king voted for Trump, you're a racist!" she hissed, jabbing the air like a malfunctioning metronome. The man looked up, startled, bemused -- always a dangerous move when a brimstone preacher's mid-sermon. "How can I be racist?" he asked. "I'm highly educated." "Oh, are you?" she snapped, narrowing her eyes through layers of couture indignation. "Then why are you wearing that hat? Only uneducated people wear that." Again with the demographics -- a true marketing maven. And there it was. The salon style of the curated class: where intelligence is not earned, it's worn. Like linen in July -- light, loud, and always label-forward. But the crowd had turned. Straphangers bristled. One muttered, "That's why he won -- people like you." Alberta, undeterred, followed her prey off the train at 28th Street, hurling invective like confetti at a canceled pride parade. And then, in perfect dramatic symmetry, she lunged -- grasping for the hat like it was the last vote in Pennsylvania -- and went down hard. Face-plant extraordinaire. Not a moment you want to remember, but.... The internet rejoiced. Five million views and counting. A user on X wrote the epitaph: "A white liberal calls a brown Republican racist... then eats concrete. 2025, folks." This wasn't politics -- it was performance art gone tragically slapstick. Alberta, whose LinkedIn brags of "maintaining the highest standards," modest to a fault, never even hinted thst she was talking about the broad jump. Thus proving there is no poseur that cannot be felled by a full-speed, late-night hat snatch. Better days: Alberta Testanero, 55, an "agitated" creative director Testanero's no stranger to edgy. A former colleague told The Post she'd gone "off the deep end" politically -- once a friend, now an "extremely liberal, very agitated" foe who'd spar with Republicans and brand them "racist" at the drop of a dime. "Nothing's changed," the coworker sighed, "except now she's extreme -- doing things like this." As they say, she seems nice.

@thatsKAIZEN Something is seriously sick with many liberals right now. I was walking my dog in LA and my neighbor, a college professor, was disgruntled over Trump's changes to funding of scientific research. I was curious as to why and asked. She assumed I aligned with her worldview. Within 30 seconds of conversation she called him a fascist and hoped he'd "choke on a hamburger". I said "let's not wish death on anyone" and she responded "well, maybe he'll be rendered incontinent". The number of liberals getting violent is small, but the number who casually condone violence and wish death upon others is large. If you wish pain on a person because of a policy, you are in the wrong. This should be obvious, but evidently it is not. I first started noticing comments like this when Trump was nearly assassinated. It's the second time in a week I've witnessed deranged behavior like this. The first was when a neighbor stormed onto my property because he didn't like what he heard in a video I was recording. It didn't used to be like this. I've lived in liberal areas my whole life. I identified as liberal until a year ago. Something truly twisted has taken hold. This is mental illness, and it's rampant.

HBO's Girls creator, American Horror Story star, and longtime Breitbart fan girl, Lena Dunham railed against "horrific government abuses" at a trans visibility rally on Monday. "Trans liberation is our liberation," the actress proclaimed. "We must help protect the civil rights of our trans friends and family," Dunham declared at the first "Transgender Day of Visibility" in Washington, D.C. during President Donald Trump's second term in office. Dunham went on to talk about the importance of standing strong "in the face of such hatred and misunderstanding," amid what she believes to be "dangers and traumas trans people face today, and the hard truths about how trans people are valued by the current leadership of this country." "When my sibling came out as trans, I learned that I had never actually had a sister at all, but a wise, funny, resilient, powerful, remarkable brother," the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star continued.She was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for five minutes, mostly as a background presence. She played a dirty smell barefoot hippie who was a member of Charles Manson's ultraviolent leftwing race-cult. How did Tarrantino get the idea to cast her? What a genius.
"The experience of going through my brother's transition has been a profound gift to our family," Dunham declared. "We have laughed, we have cried, we have learned, and re-learned." The Scandal actress added, "I have seen my parents grow into a new understanding of their child, and I re-met my sibling as the truest version of himself -- the person that he already was as a child before society sent him so many signals about what conformity meant, and he had to shut away these beautiful and essential aspects of who he is." Dunham also railed against "the horrific abuses that the government is attempting to commit and the rights they're attempting to take away and already in the process of doing." "Trans liberation is our liberation. And without it, none of us are free," Dunham asserted.Then she ate a Volkswagon Jetta.

One "Teen" Stabs Another Teen In the Heart With a Knife With No Provocation, Killing the Victim Within Minutes;
Media Hides Murder Because the Killer is Black and Victim is White
Media Hides Murder Because the Killer is Black and Victim is White
The killer is a gentle giant who hoped to be a rapper and just got accepted to CUNY.
The victim was probably a white supremacist who deserves to have been stabbed in the heart. Benjamin Crump is en route to the jail where the gentle giant is being held and will be suing the family of the victim for causing the killer emotional harm by dying.Sarah Fields
@SarahisCensored 17-year-old 4.0 student stabbed in the heart at a high school track event in Frisco, Texas, dies in his identical twin brother's arms. Austin Metcalf was attacked after telling a teen from a different school that he was sitting in the wrong spot. Karmelo Anthony has been been arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Just days ago, Metcalf shared a post on X where he said, "Faith that God got me and my work will pay off." Metcalf reportedly didn't know the teen who stabbed him. "They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother's arms," Jeff Metcalf, the father, said. "I rushed up there and I saw him on the gurney and I could tell... they said he wasn't breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital." Austin Metcalf had a 4.0 GPA and was the MVP of his football team. He was getting ready to go to college. What a SENSELESS death.

FCC Commissioner Brandon Carr: If Our Investigation Concludes That Disney Is Using Racial and Sex Discrimination In Its Hiring (Which It Definitely Is), We'll Yank ABC's Broadcast License
FCC Chair Brendan Carr has opened a formal investigation into Disney over allegations that its DEI-driven hiring practices at ABC may violate federal equal employment regulations. If proven, the infractions could put ABC's broadcast license at risk, Carr said Monday during a Fox News interview. The move comes amid the 47th President Donald Trump's broader crackdown on DEI programs across government and private institutions. Key Details: Carr said hiring decisions allegedly made based on race and gender "go to the character qualifications" required for FCC licensing. The investigation is focused on whether ABC's parent company, Disney, used racial and gender quotas or "race-defined affinity groups" in employment decisions. This probe follows a similar FCC investigation into Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, launched last month. Diving Deeper: Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr on Monday signaled that ABC's broadcast license could be in jeopardy if an ongoing investigation confirms that the network, through its parent company Disney, violated federal law by using race and gender-based hiring practices. Appearing on Fox News's The Story, Carr stated, "If the evidence does in fact play out and shows that they were engaged in race- and gender-based discrimination, that's a very serious issue at the FCC, that could fundamentally go to their character qualifications to even hold a license." The investigation, which Carr initiated Friday, zeroes in on Disney's internal DEI framework and whether it conflicts with FCC's equal employment opportunity (EEO) regulations. Under these rules, broadcasters are prohibited from making employment decisions based on protected characteristics such as race and gender. "The evidence we have so far indicates potentially that Disney and ABC were making employment decisions based on race and gender," Carr said, referencing alleged quotas and "race-defined affinity groups." ... Carr also hinted that Disney may have rebranded some DEI programs without altering the underlying policies. In his letter to the company, he noted that the FCC's enforcement division would follow up on whether such changes were superficial attempts to evade regulatory scrutiny. The probe into Disney mirrors a similar investigation the FCC launched into Comcast just weeks ago, raising questions about how widespread such practices may be within legacy media corporations. Carr emphasized in letters to both companies that the FCC's role is to ensure broadcast license holders are not promoting "invidious forms of discrimination."Speaking of doling out high-paying gigs to people based not on talent but on skin color: This is a good place to sneak in an update on Snow Woke. The son of the film's producer defended his father's reluctant efforts to stop Rachel Zegler from tanking the film with her constant divisive political sloganeering by saying, "Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged." Well, coincidentally, a fellow actress who appeared with her in the similarly-disastrous West Side Story posted that same quote.
LOL shyeah sure, you didn't know the quote was about your West Side Story co-star when you posted it.
On Tuesday, Ariana DeBose, 34, posted a now-deleted Instagram post slamming her "West Side Story" co-star Rachel Zegler, 23 over the latter's "Snow White" controversy. The original post that the "Hamilton" actress displayed on her Instagram was a quote saying, "Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged." After that initial post, DeBose said in a follow-up, "I post quotes all the time and thought this one was meaningful. Will fully cop to the fact I did not do any research on where this quote came from, nor did I know of the connection until it was pointed out to me."
Uh-huh. Check out who's a big fan of Rachel Zegler: Hollywood's current favorite low-talent leftwing agitator Pedro Pascal.
The actress won an Oscar for her supporting role as Anita in Steven Spielberg's 2021 adaptation of "West Side Story." Zegler starred as Maria in that film. "I have no intention of inserting myself into a news cycle," DeBose added in her follow-up post. "This is not the first time I've posted about dealing with narcissism and it probably won't be the last, but next time I'll be sure to clarify its origins first."
...I can't wait until Fantastic Four bombs so that Hollywood stops casting this flabby dadbod acne-scarred dead-eyed Charisma Vacuum in every damn movie.
On Sunday, Pedro Pascal, 49, posted a photo of Zegler on his Instagram Stories, tagging her and adding the caption, "icon." Meanwhile, John Lennon's son, Sean, slammed Zegler as a "brat."

How Do "Civil Servants" and "Non-Profit" Personnel Become So Insanely Rich? Simple, They're Just Stealing Public Money and Calling Themselves Heroes for It
This goes on in every single NGO. Leftist government functionaries send billions of dollars to their leftist pals who run these embezzlement factories, knowing that when they exit government they will get put on the board of an NGO and get paid off themselves.
"Nonprofit" just means that none of the money will go to shareholders. It will all be poured into the bank accounts of the principals running the "nonprofit."
Minnesota food bank CEO steps down as legislators question her $721K salary
Second Harvest Heartland defended its executive compensation and financial stewardship, but some legislators are concerned by the "out of control" salaries at nonprofits requesting public dollars.
Minnesota's hunger crisis is growing--and apparently so is the appetite for big executive pay at one of the state's top food nonprofits.
Now? Oh right, this is Communist-Held Minnesota, which, let's face it, we should just make officially part of Canada already.
Allison O'Toole, CEO of Second Harvest Heartland, earned $721,000 in total compensation in 2022--even as the nonprofit has lobbied for taxpayer funding and warned of rising hunger across Minnesota, where 26% of households with children are food insecure, according to its own research. Now, as O'Toole steps down after six years at the helm, lawmakers are raising questions.
Rep. Pam Altendorf, R-Red Wing, told Alpha News that O'Toole's salary issue first surfaced during a recent "food day" at the Capitol, when food shelf representatives, including O'Toole, testified before the House Children and Families Committee. "Rep. Bjorn Olson pulled the 990 [tax form] and shared Allison O'Toole's salary with our committee members right before she testified," Altendorf said. "That's when the questions started." Rep. Marion Rarick, R-Maple Lake, later raised the issue during a March 17 House committee hearing where a DFL lawmaker questioned why a GOP bill was reducing funding for Second Harvest Heartland in a proposed agriculture budget. "It looks like the base funding for Second Harvest Heartland is $3.4 million and you reduce it by $900,000 in both the first biennium and the tails," said Rep. Zack Stephenson, DFL-Coon Rapids. But Rarick said she thinks the organization "can handle it." "They do have a $260 million, that's their gross revenue," she said during the hearing. "What's even more interesting, I think, is that their CEO, their top person, makes $721,000. Yeah, $721,000 is the top person ... and they have 10 people that make more than the governor, which is more than $150,000. So that's well over $2.6 million in their highest-paid people." About a week after the salary figures were brought up at the committee hearing, Second Harvest announced O'Toole's resignation. ... Altendorf also pointed to what she sees as a deeper issue. She says the nonprofit hired a "voter engagement coordinator" in 2024 to conduct get-out-the-vote efforts--something she calls "a huge conflict of interest" for an organization receiving taxpayer dollars. "The public is waking up to the money funneling system happening within the Minnesota state government," Altendorf said. "And I'm hearing loud and clear--taxpayers have had enough."

Trump Nears the Record for Reductions in the Federal Workforce as Jobs Growth Comes In, Get This, Above "Expectations"
The public supports Trump's deportations:
The cuts to the federal workforce did not, as leftists claim, harm the economy. In fact, they seem to have increased economic activity in the private sector, which is the sector where we want job growth.
The Trump administration's efforts to dramatically reduce the size of the federal workforce appear on pace to surpass the record workforce reductions under the Clinton administration. The rapid-fire restructuring of major federal agencies, mass terminations, buyouts, and resignations, however, could see him achieve in mere months more than Clinton did in eight years. During the 1990s, President Bill Clinton reduced the size of the federal civilian workforce from roughly 2.2 million to 1.8 million, largely through federal buyouts. Upper estimates put the figure at 426,200 federal jobs eliminated. That reduction stands as the largest cut to the federal headcount since World War II. Civilian workforce figures exclude military personnel and United States Postal Service (USPS) and most totals refer to executive branch employees, who make up the lion's share of the federal payroll. Those employees are also the administration's top priority for cuts as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk works to axe trillions in spending from the budget. Early in this second Trump administration, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) coordinated a large-scale federal buyout, offering employees the option of resigning to secure pay through Sept. 30. The administration said that about 75,000 employees took the offer, accounting for roughly 3% of the 2.3 million federal civilian employees. Trump had hoped for as many as 5%-10% to take the deal and several major agencies have begun to offer a second round of buyouts, hoping that the ongoing terminations will make employees less hesitant to accept. ... Trump will still need to reduce the headcount by roughly 200,000 to break the Clinton record. Assessing the exact figure of firings under Trump thus far is difficult, in no small part due to the intervention of judges who have delayed or ordered the reversal of some.
March's Jobs Report crushed expectations, which was good news in and of itself BUT when you look at the report by the numbers, it's even better. Remember during the Biden years how they'd make a big deal about how many jobs they added and then we'd find out a couple of weeks later it was wrong or that the numbers added were government jobs? Yeah. That is not the case now under Trump. Take a look:Rapid Response 47
@RapidResponse47 JOBS REPORT by the numbers: - 228,000 jobs added, beating expectations by 88,000.
- 459,000 increase in full time workers.
- 209,000 increase in private employment.
- 13,000 increase in construction jobs.
- 22,900 increase in transportation & warehousing jobs.
- 23,700 increase in retail trade jobs.
- 232,000 increase in the labor force.
- 4,000 decline in federal government jobs.
The public supports Trump's deportations:
CBS Poll: Nearly 6 in 10 Americans Support Trump's Mass Deportations A majority of Americans support President Donald Trump's mass deportation program, a new poll from CBS News finds. About 58 percent of American adults told CBS pollsters that they approve of Trump's program to "find and deport immigrants who are in the United States illegally," while 42 percent said they disapprove. Most significantly, 56 percent of swing voters support Trump's deportation program, as well as 93 percent of Republicans. Likewise, majorities of white non-college-educated Americans, 69 percent, and white college-educated Americans, 56 percent, support the deportations. Hispanic Americans are a bit more split on the issue, with 47 percent approving of Trump's deportations and 53 percent opposing. Trump's immigration policies, poll after poll has found, remain largely popular with Americans.The left is pushing what is essentially a push-poll that asks: Do you support Trump illegally and mistakenly sending law-abiding American citizens to El Salvadoran torture prisons? This juiced question basically boils down to "Do you agree that bad deportations are bad?" and forces the answer that the left wants to claim indicates that Americans oppose the deportations. For the next story, keep in mind that the media routinely scolds Americans that they're not allowed to have opinions on major political questions of the day because they're not "experts." Also note that media personnel usually have degrees in liberal arts and crafts subjects, or in "journalism," which is not a degree that confers any expertise in any subject matter "journalists" routinely offer their opinions about, suggesting that those opinions are expert and authoritative. Meanwhile, Jake Tapper will scold you for saying that Kamala Harris sounds drunk or Biden is exhibiting the signs of senility, insisting that you cannot judge what drunk people sound like without a degree in neurology and organic chemistry, and you cannot spot someone slurring their words and losing their train of thought due to age-related dementia without advanced degrees in neurology and elder care. So, NBC wanted an Authoritative Expert to trash Trump's reciprocal tariffs, and they found a... nurse to render her expert opinion on tariff policy,. Don't worry, though -- her great grandfather was a congressman who passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, and as you know, "expertise" is passed on by genetics whenever the media decides it is.
Speaking of spotting intoxicated people, Kamala Harris has "finally" spoke out against Trump, and the media is giddy. This, they deem, is a "stunning" event, almost as stunning as the Fiercely Heterosexual (TM) Cory Booker standing on his feet and blabbing for twenty-four hours. And Kamala sounds like she knocked back a few schnapps before speaking. In my Non-Jake-Tapper-Certified Expert Opinion on detecting slurring.
NBC News
@NBCNews Her great-grandfather was behind the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act -- which many economic historians believe worsened the Great Depression. She thinks Trump's tariffs are "terrible."

Trump Fires NSA Director, His Deputy, and Six Other NSA Staffers; Speculation Is That Laura Loomer Showed Trump Evidence That They Were Disloyal Biden Holdovers Undermining His Executive Authority
Finally we're getting the "You're Fired's" we were promised in 2016.
The fact that Mark Warner and, as you'll see below, Martha Raddatz are protesting these firings is all the proof I need they are eminently justified and critical.
The director of the National Security Agency, Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, reportedly was fired Thursday from his post as the head of the agency. Haugh's removal as director of the NSA, the nation's primary cyber espionage and electronic eavesdropping agency, comes on the same day at least three White House National Security Council staffers reportedly also were shown the door. The ousted NSA director's civilian deputy, Wendy Noble, was also let go Thursday, according to the Washington Post, citing current and former US officials. Noble was reassigned to a role within the Pentagon's Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, according to the outlet. The reason behind the NSA shakeup is unknown, the US officials told the outlet. Haugh, who also serves as the Pentagon's Cyber Command chief, had led the NSA since February 2024. ... Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, slammed Haugh's dismissal.
Loomer is a loon but crazy people do sometimes use their obsessiveness to dig up facts. Once again, the left is sputtering about who brought the information to Trump as a way to attack the information. Musk isn't firing people at DOGE; he brings the info to Trump, and Trump fires them. But they fixate on Musk "not being elected." Seems like the same jive here with Loomer. If Loomer brought Trump this information, it was still the duly elected-and-sworn president who read it and found it credible and took appropriate action. As promised, crag-faced Baba Yaga and weepy Deep State nostalgist Martha Raddatz broke out her quaking Cry-Voice over the firings, which pretty much cinches it that they all leak to her.
"General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?" Warner wrote on X. The senator also took aim at President Trump -- referencing reports that the firings of National Security Council staffers came shortly after he took a meeting with right-wing influencer Laura Loomer. "It is astonishing that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan, experienced leader of the NSA while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on a commercial messaging app -- even as he apparently takes staffing direction on national security from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office," Warner wrote in a separate post.

Unbelievably, Joe Biden Spent Millions on an EPA Museum to Propandize to People How Much the EPA Has Done for Them
Thankfully, it did little propagandizing because who on earth would go to the "EPA Museum."
These people demented space aliens. They have no conception of how actual humans think. Real humans do not go to Museums of Bureaucracy. I used to laugh at conspiracy theories about "the Reptilians." Now I want to know more."Environomental justice" is just another gayop propaganda word for "using environmental funding and arguments to move money to Democrats' minority grifter NGOs."
EPA Museum -- Yes, One Actually Existed -- Shuttered After Zeldin Calls Out Massive Funding, Lack of Visitors
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under Administrator Lee Zeldin, has decided to close the National Environmental Museum and Education Center, a project launched during the Biden administration, Fox News reports. Despite its mission to "highlight environmental achievements," the museum struggled to attract visitors leaving taxpayers with a hefty bill for a largely empty space. Even with free admission, relatively no one could find any desire to walk through the doors. Although the lack of visitors is likely not surprising anyone, the money being poured into the museum just might. The museum, located at the EPA headquarters near the White House, opened in May 2024 with the goal of celebrating America's environmental progress. Former EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan envisioned it as a space to honor bipartisan efforts to protect public health and the environment. However, the museum saw fewer than 2,000 visitors in its first nine months, which some may call pathetic. Taxpayers had invested $4 million to bring the museum up to Smithsonian standards, with an additional $600,000 per year required for upkeep. That worked out to about $315 per visitor--a price tag that Zeldin and his team argue cannot be justified. According to Zeldin's EPA, the museum leaned heavily on themes like "environmental justice" and climate change, which critics argued felt more like partisan messaging than an inclusive celebration of environmental progress.
Artifacts? Like halogen-filled display cases showing EPA regulations? Pro-Tip: If nothing in your museum is worth Nick Cage's time to steal it, it's not a real museum.
Maintenance expenses included everything from artifact storage and landscaping to security and audiovisual upkeep.
According to Fox News, "a breakdown of estimated annual costs to operate the museum, which was provided to Fox Digital, shows taxpayers were expected to foot the bill for an estimated: $123,766.29 in annual cleaning and landscaping costs, $37,899 for audio and visual maintenance, $54,292.99 in annual 'artifact storage' costs, $8,900 for 'Magnetometer maintenance,' $46,000 for X-ray maintenance, an estimated $123,000 in utility costs, and $207,326 in annual costs to fund two security guards for the museum during operating hours. The total annual operating costs totaled just more than $600,000."X-ray machines and magnetometers are expensive security apparatuses. So they're spending millions to protect a fake museum from all its literal ones of visitors. More spending on "artifact storage." Now, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but I just googled it and it turns out that the $52,292.99 spent on "artifact storage" just happens to be what it costs for a large incubator for Reptilian Eggs. Coincidence? Serious, and possibly controversial question: Remember when we all thought Obama was the worst president ever? Has Biden eclipsed him?

The Morning Report — 4/ 4 /25
As I alluded, when Thomas Sowell speaks, people who know and respect his great intellect, listen attentively. Sowell makes reference to FDR and how his mistakes which exacerbated the '29 crash are being repeated by Trump. Yeah, everyone and their uncle are now screaming "Smoot Hawley" but the '29 crash became the Depression primarily because of the failure of the New Deal. Which, in a way DOGE is attempting to address. And if we're going to take a look at history and tariffs:
Finally, here's a positive take:
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great weekend.
Economist Thomas Sowell suggested that President Donald Trump may be taking a “ruinous” approach to tariffs and international trade. Sowell commented on Trump’s trade policies during an interview on April 1, a day before Trump enacted sweeping tariffs on dozens of countries. The “Liberation Day” announcement, as the White House billed it, put in place a system of “reciprocity” on international trade where foreign countries are tariffed in accordance with the trade barriers they impose on the United States. “It’s painful to see what a ruinous decision, from back in the 1920s, being repeated,” the 94-year-old Sowell said on an episode of “Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson.” “Now, insofar as he’s using these tariffs to get various strategic things settled and that he is satisfied with that.” . . . “If this is just a set of short-run ploys for various limited objectives limited in time. Fine, maybe,” Sowell granted. “But, if this is gonna be the policy for four long years, that you’re gonna try this, you’re gonna try that, you’re gonna try something else. A lot of people are gonna wait.” Sowell noted the recent dips in the stock market that have followed many of Trump’s announcements on tariffs and said that “people are holding on to their money before they do anything because they don’t know where this is gonna lead.”
As I alluded, when Thomas Sowell speaks, people who know and respect his great intellect, listen attentively. Sowell makes reference to FDR and how his mistakes which exacerbated the '29 crash are being repeated by Trump. Yeah, everyone and their uncle are now screaming "Smoot Hawley" but the '29 crash became the Depression primarily because of the failure of the New Deal. Which, in a way DOGE is attempting to address. And if we're going to take a look at history and tariffs:
“[W]e built a sustainable economy, we did this thing, starting with Alexander Hamilton, where we said it’s really going to matter that we make things in the United States. … Yeah, we’re going to import stuff, we [were] never not going to buy stuff from abroad, but we were going to make sure that the internal American economy was healthy, could produce a lot, provided jobs…not just for people with graduate degrees, not just for somebody who is going to work on Wall Street, but for people with less education…so that means you need an industrial base. We built that economy…behind a very high tariff wall…it built America into an economic powerhouse.”People seem to not know or have forgotten that nations to this day protect their workers and their economies via tariffs. Also, 200 years ago there was no Federal government and bureaucracy nor a Federal reserve to screw around with our economy and interfere with the way people do business. But of course it took almost 200 years to build that economic powerhouse as well as the concomitant attitude of the people via the American work ethic, and the freedom to pursue one's dreams as well as to fail repeatedly before succeeding. And regardless of Liberation Day, we're not going to suddenly become the great industrial powerhouse we once were overnight. It's going to take time. Sadly the one key element that is missing is anything even resembling a scintilla of national unity that we had at the time of Pearl Harbor that allowed American industry to kick into overdrive and finally get us out of the Great Depression that the New Deal created. Now, is Trump correct in his assessment of the fundamental trade unfairness/imbalance that has been hammering us for decades? Absolutely. While the propagandists are shrieking about the Dow Jones tumbling, remember this creates an opportunity for investors to pick up stocks at bargain prices, if they are willing to hold onto them for the long term. Moving beyond tariffs, here's an oldie but a goodie, how about significantly lowering taxes or exempting taxes altogether for an extended period of time in the interest of enticing manufacturers to either build new factories and re-shore jobs and manufacturing back to the States? That and cut the regulatory regime of the federal bureaucracy so investors and enterprises can compete and, here's a radical idea, actually make a profit.
Finally, here's a positive take:
Critics claim President Trump’s reciprocal—‘kind’—tariffs will destroy jobs. This could not be further from the truth. In reality, President Trump’s tariffs have the potential to create 15 million new jobs. Many of these jobs will be high-paying manufacturing jobs, jobs with employee benefits—the very sort of jobs that were lost over the last 50 years to offshoring and the “race to the bottom.” How? Reciprocal tariffs are an olive branch. If foreign countries come to the table and lower their own tariffs, then Americans will benefit from freer—and most importantly, fair—trade. This will open up new markets potentially worth trillions of dollars to American businesses. If not, then tariffs will level the playing field and protect American workers from foreign labor—who often work in slave-like conditions for next to nothing. This will reshore America’s factories, creating millions of jobs in the process. . . . . . To begin with, we need to remember that America is not an economy. We are a nation bounded by blood and tradition. The Constitution does not give anyone a right to buy “cheap goods” from China or Bangladesh. The President is obligated to do what is in America’s best interests—even if this prevents liberals from buying imported European cars. In 2024, America exported $3.19 trillion worth of goods and services. This is in spite of the fact that most of our trade partners impose massive tariffs—as well as other non-monetary barriers to entry such as Byzantine regulations—on American goods. This goes to show just how efficient and competitive America’s industries are. Nevertheless, the playing field is not level. Let us assume that trading partners see the error of their ways and reduce their tariffs to reciprocal levels. This will allow American businesses to compete on even terms and will open foreign markets for American businesses like never before. If we assume that a 1% reduction in net tariffs results in a 1% increase in trade—which is a reasonable assumption based on current economic models—then America’s exports would increase by $1.6 trillion, bringing total exports up to $4.8 trillion. Increasing America’s exports would create millions of good-paying jobs. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that every billion of GDP supports between 5,000 and 5,500 jobs. Based on this, these increased exports would support some 8.4 million new jobs. If we assume that only half of our trade partners play ball, we are still looking at over 4 million new jobs.Elsewhere on the economic front, there is actual broad support for what Trump is trying to do, some of it bipartisan in nature, and unemployment filings plunged in March signaling a robust labor market, this with the full knowledge that Liberation Day was on the horizon. So, we shall certainly see. And perhaps if we had not granted the Chi-Coms most-favored nation trading status, the economic and geopolitical landscape today might be much less dangerous.Just a thought. And do give a listen to our latest podcast linked here and in the sidebar, where two outstanding guests, and friends, culture journalist Christian Toto and the estimable Jim Lakely of the Heartland Institute join CBD for a great conversation about what the absolute disaster of the Snow White remake means in terns of a sea change in both Hollywood and what its rejection means in broader terms for the culture at large.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great weekend.

Top Story
- Oracle got hacked, twice, recently, according to Oracle staff who won't go on the record and are now in fact in hiding in an undisclosed location. (Yahoo)
Or something.Oracle staff informed some clients this week that the attacker gained access to usernames, passkeys and encrypted passwords, according to the people, who spoke on condition that they not be identified because they're not authorized to discuss the matter.
Note that this is the same company that very recently proclaimed:There has been no breach of Oracle Cloud. The published credentials are not for the Oracle Cloud. No Oracle Cloud customers experienced a breach or lost any data.
Basically, the data that was stolen in the breach that Oracle so strenuously denied ever happened is real, but old, and likely useless.

Trump's Department of Education Orders Schools to Certify That All DEI Programs Are Defunded, As a Precondition of Receiving Any Future Federal Funding
The big question is: will lying on these forms be prosecuted as felony fraud on the US government?
Because all of the leftwing school administrators are already lying, renaming DEI officers as just "Officers" while keeping them on the payroll (yes, the Air Force did that).As a condition for receiving federal money, the Trump administration is ordering K-12 schools to certify that they are following federal civil rights laws and ending any discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion practices. A notice sent Thursday by the Education Department gives states and schools 10 days to sign and return the certification. It's the latest escalation against DEI policies, apparently giving the Republican administration a new lever for terminating federal money. "Federal financial assistance is a privilege, not a right," Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement. He said many schools have flouted their legal obligations, "including by using DEI programs to discriminate against one group of Americans to favor another." The certification asks state and school leaders to sign a "reminder of legal obligations" acknowledging their federal money is conditioned on compliance with federal civil rights laws. It also demands compliance with several pages of legal analysis written by the administration. "The use of certain DEI practices can violate federal law," the administration wrote in the certification, adding that it is illegal for programs to advantage one race over another. Schools and states that use illegal DEI practices can face a loss of federal money, including grants and contracts, and can be held liable under the False Claims Act, according to the certification. It specifically threatens Title I funding, which sends billions of dollars a year to America's schools and targets low-income areas.That hints that maybe prosecution is in the offing for those who fraudulently sign the certifications while keeping renamed DEI policies and departments in place.
... It follows a Feb. 14 memo declaring that any school policy that treats students or staff differently because of their race is illegal. It aimed to fight what the memo described as widespread discrimination in education, often against white and Asian American students.It wouldn't be an AP "news" article without now giving the left, and only the left, the chance to attack the policy, with zero comment from anyone supporting the position that Racism Is Bad.
And of course it wouldn't be an AP "News" article without giving Randi "Shutdown" Weingarten the last word, to let everyone know what they're supposed to think:
The certification letter drew blowback from critics who said it conflicts with Trump's promise to return education to schools and states. "Is this what the Trump administration calls local control? You can't say you're giving control back to states and then dictate how they run their schools," said Keri Rodrigues, president of the National Parents Union.
The union's president called the certification requirement illegal, saying federal law prohibits the White House from telling schools and colleges what to teach, and that federal money cannot be withheld without due process. "He's wielding a cudgel of billions in federal aid to tens of millions of children, of all races and ethnicities, to force educators to kowtow to his politics and ideology," said Randi Weingarten, president of the AFT.I need this rancid bitch in jail. Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up...

A Female Fencer is Banned from Competing When She Refuses to Fight a Man
If there's no difference between men and women, then there should be no "women's" sports, period. If there's no difference between men and women, women should just compete with men, period, and if they can't compete -- which they can't -- then they don't get to play sports.
This system where we spend a lot of taxpayer money to subsidize "women's" sports but then allow random dudes to crybaby their way in has got to go.The transgender did what transgenders usually do when women refuse to support their delusions: He told her that he had the backing of a liberal member of the board of directors and threatened to use his power to squash her.
A female fencer is speaking out after she was disqualified from a tournament in Maryland for taking a knee and refusing to compete against a transgender-identifying male opponent. Stephanie Turner, 31, was black-carded and booted from a tournament this past weekend for refusing to compete against Redmond Sullivan, who is male and identifies as transgender. Sullivan formerly competed against males and was permitted by USA Fencing to compete in the women's tournament, the organization confirmed to The Daily Wire. "I want to thank God for trusting me with this mission to fight for female exclusive sports and putting me in a place to effectively protest," Turner told The Daily Wire in a statement. "I also want to add that I am grateful to the Independent Council on Women's Sports (ICONS) for their encouragement and support," she added. "They have helped me and so many other women who have been put in this unfair and confusing situation." ...
"Redmond says to me, 'Well you know, there is a member on the board of directors here who supports me, and there is a policy that acknowledges me as a woman, so I am allowed to fence, and you will get black-carded,' and I said, 'I know.'"Sometimes backlash is unfortunate. It's not in this case. The backlash is well-earned and justified.

Chubby Theater Kid Spazz, The Fiercely Heterosexual Corey Booker (TM), Carries On Shouting and Stamping His Feet for 20+ Hours and Lefties Think He Really Did Something
The constantly attention-seeking, beard-"dating" Senator Spartacus did a talking filibuster for some reason, shouting -- get this -- Orange Man Bad and also -- get this -- turning on the fake tears to show how much Passion and Fight he has.
Most people who saw clips of this had the same thought: "Vin Diesel is really porking out. And he's a lot gayer than he seems in the Fast and Furious movies." Lefties are calling this obvious low-effort stunt to position himself for another failed run in 2028 heroic and inspiring. I swear to God, it's so condescending to praise black people so extravagantly for dumb stunts like this. White liberals are always screaming their genuine beliefs about black people by gushing about how amazing it is that they can do relatively easy things.Well, that certainly is a high compliment. "I don't know what he did but I guess he did something!"
Thus far, it has been a gloomy 2025 for the late night comedy shows as they have attacked Democrats from the left for not doing anything to stop Republicans, but on Wednesday, a trio of them claimed to have reason for optimism as they reacted to Sen. Cory Booker's 25-hour talk. Some suggested he get an award, while others claimed he spoke for all of America, while others tried their hand at media criticism, arguing the media hasn't praised Booker enough. CBS's Stephen Colbert teed up a clip on The Late Show of the final moments of Booker's speech where he compared himself to the Civil Rights Movement, "There were many great moments, but Booker saved, I think, the best for last."
After the clip and audience cheers, Colbert declared he was such a fan that he invited Booker on the show, "Yes, sir. That was beautiful. Give that man an award, eventually. First give him a toilet and a bed and a cauliflower steak or whatever he calls food. And I'm happy to say Cory Booker will be my guest on Monday right over there to talk about what is going on in the Senate, what is going on in America, and what can be done." Over at NBC and Late Night, host Seth Meyers welcomed MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and recalled, "Cory Booker, last night, did speak for 25 hours and then went straight on your show before declaring, "I did think, you know, as for what it accomplishes, I don't know, but it did, at least, say, I think, to, you know, his voters 'Look, I do still have some energy for this fight.'"
[Maddow] claimed, "Senator Booker said his constituents told him, 'Take risks, do something you don't think you can do, you need to show people that this not normal times and it is worth doing everything we can' and he did.""Everything we can do" = blabbing in an air conditioned room for twenty hours Noted Couch-Surfing Liberal Agent Frank Luntz was just tickled pink in his heiney-hole.
I mean...
Frank Luntz: Booker marathon speech 'may have changed the course of political history'
Wow. Corey Booker talked for a long time, which changed the course of history, and Frank Luntz did his part, too! "I listened to words. I listened to phrases." Frank Luntz is doing Everything He Can to Fight Fascism, too!
Longtime GOP pollster Frank Luntz said Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) "may have changed the course of political history" with his marathon speech breaking the Senate's record for the longest floor speech in its history. "I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history. I watched a lot of it. I listened to words. I listened to phrases," Luntz said during a Tuesday evening appearance on NewsNation's "On Balance."
Yup, he just has to find another LGBQT+ supporting woman to pose as his girlfriend and he's all set.
He confirmed that Booker's unprecedented feat "struck a tone" with Americans in the midst of the Trump administration's controversial policies. "He struck the kind of tone that grassroots Democrats are looking for. He gave them a reason to fight. He gave them a reason to stand up and say, this is my country too," Luntz told anchor Leland Vittert. ... "That speech puts Cory Booker as one of the leaders for the Democratic Party for 2028," Luntz said.
