NOTABLE QUOTES

Mike Pence 2024 Republican primary presidential candidate met with President Zelensky: I know the difference between a genius and a war criminal, and I know who needs to win this war in Ukraine, and it’s the people fighting for their freedom and fighting to restore their national sovereignty. There is no room in our party for apologists for Putin. There is only room for champions of freedom.

Russell Contreras is the Justice and Race reporter at Axios: Ten years after #BlackLivesMatter began on Twitter, more than a third of tweets with the hashtag have disappeared, according to a new analysis from the Pew Research Center. Why it matters: The vanishing tweets come as users delete posts, make accounts private, face suspension or leave Twitter altogether following the Elon Musk-led takeover of the platform in October.

Jim Nelles contributor to American Greatness: The topic of abortion often comes up on a second or third date when a potential girlfriend asks about my conservative beliefs. My response is always the same, “as a former fetus, I am glad that I wasn’t aborted.”

Paul du Quenoy contributor to American Greatness: San Francisco’s atomizing and impoverishing anarcho-tyranny is how the President of the United States and almost anyone of importance in his political party would prefer for you to live.

Milt Harris contributor to Canada Free Press: Every single day the woke left proves that they are a bottomless pit of stupid. They can’t help but spread their idiocy into everything, nothing is allowed to be lighthearted or fun. There is an old saying that reminds us that “Idle hands are the devil’s playthings,” well the same thing can be said about the radical left’s minds. They have way too many empty thoughts that do nothing but sabotage other people’s lives.

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET/ONE WORLD GOVT.) & TRANSHUMANISM (AI HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

WhatFingerVideo: Gates Foundation Is Working On Engineering Flying Vaccines via Mosquitoes

“It’s not just the food” we have to be worried about, testified attorney to the Pennsylvania State Senate. “Gates Foundation has been funding all sorts of genetic engineering of mosquitoes, and there’s a lot of talk about using mosquitoes and mosquito bites to help vaccinate certain populations.” “I don’t have proof that that’s viable yet, but I know they’re working on it,” attorney stressed. “So I’m not suggesting that the mosquitoes that Bill Gates is working with to engineer down in Florida are injecting anyone with anything. What I am suggesting is that I have absolutely indisputable evidence that they are working to make sure that they can inject you with.”

Roberts: Digital Revolution, Corporate Medicine, and Infinitely Expanding Racism

The digital revolution is inconsistent with human freedom. The digital revolution gives governments powers to spy and to control that are complete. There is no privacy, and no independence once digital money is the only means of transactions. In George Orwell’s 1984 Big Brother spied on people via the TV set and publicly placed microphones. We are already far beyond that with publicly placed cameras and face and voice recognition. Even the means of communication such as cell phones spy for the government, as do household appliances for those who fall for “smart appliances.” Moreover, unapproved words and statements are gradually being criminalized as are statements of truth. The US Constitution is being erased. And nothing is being done about it. These major matters aside, ordinary people are being oppressed by the demands of the digital revolution and being forced to pay costs of businesses such as customer relations and consumer support. […] My conclusion is that the digital revolution only serves corporate profits and Big Brothers control. For the rest of us it is a total disaster. […] Corporate medicine is another modern travesty. Doctors are not independent practitioners following the Hippocratic Oath. They are employees following corporate and Big Pharma protocols designed for profit maximization, the health of the patient be damned. We saw this clearly in the prohibition preventing corporate doctors from treating Covid with cures such as Ivermectin and HCQ, instead requiring injection with an untested substance that has produced enormous deaths and health injuries. My own doctor who treated Covid patients with Ivermectin was called in and told to desist or he would be fired.

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE POWER & CONTROL

Mercola: Shepherds of the Singularity

Will artificial intelligence (AI) wipe out mankind? Could it create the “perfect” lethal bioweapon to decimate the population?1^,2 Might it take over our weapons,3^,4 or initiate cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, such as the electric grid?5 According to a rapidly growing number of experts, any one of these, and other hellish scenarios, are entirely plausible, unless we rein in the development and deployment of AI and start putting in some safeguards. The public also needs to temper expectations and realize that AI chatbots are still massively flawed and cannot be relied upon, no matter how “smart” they appear, or how much they berate you for doubting them. The video at the top of this article features a snippet of one of the last interviews George Orwell gave before dying, in which he stated that his book, “1984,” which he described as a parody, could well come true, as this was the direction in which the world was going.

Today, it’s clear to see that we haven’t changed course, so . . . […] As artificial general intelligence (AGI) is getting nearer by the day, so are the final puzzle pieces of the technocratic, transhumanist dream nurtured by globalists for decades. They intend to create a world in which AI controls and subjugates the masses while they alone get to reap the benefits — wealth, power and life outside the control grid — and they will get it, unless we wise up and start looking ahead.

Paugh: Travel While You Can

Travel will soon become a thing of the past. Not only are the globalists getting ready to shut down commercial airports, destroying all the industries dependent on travel, but air transportation will no longer be available to the masses, it will only be allowed to those who have billions, who can afford their own jets, and have enough money for landing fees at the few remaining commercial and private airports. Besides the interdiction of a large contingent of combustion engine cars in EU cities by 2050, air conditioning, gas stoves, gas heating systems, wood-fired ovens, and other amenities that make modern life more comfortable and livable will disappear in the U.S. By 2050 only electric vehicles will be allowed on EU roads. No Fossil Fuels-Powered Cars in Europe Cities by 2050 – autoevolution In the new digital currency world being implemented rapidly around the globe, travel will be a privilege that only the mega rich will be able to afford. The masses are encouraged to join the virtual reality realm if they want to see the real world. The New York Times is already mentally preparing/indoctrinating the masses with bizarre arguments against travel. The statement that many people make, “I love to travel,” is thus classified by the author, Agnes Callard, as “the most uninformative statement that people are inclined to make.” I wonder how she would feel if only allowed to move on foot or by bus within a very limited radius her entire life.

[…] Globalists are suggesting replacing travel with virtual reality, a fake experience that does not begin to fill the thrill one experiences in front of a masterpiece or a statue at the Louvre or the awe of seeing the pyramids of Egypt and the Sphinx.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES & THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS

Revolver.news: After reading this, you gotta ask yourself — was Bill Barr in on the Biden family coverup?

Thanks to the efforts of right-wing journalist Julie Kelly, an article from December 2020 is making the rounds again. This piece is all about Bill Barr and his decision not to set up a special counsel to continue the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden — this was something Trump was adamant about, but Barr refused, saying he saw no reason why he should do that. Meanwhile, Hunter was gifted a “sweetheart deal” from Biden’s Department of Justice. Looking at this article now, with all we’ve learned about Barr, Hunter, Joe, and the relentless attempts to remove Trump from political power, it’s hard not to wonder, ‘Was Barr in on this Biden family coverup from the start?’ Just let these words from Bill Barr sink in: . . .

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Hauf: Biden rips Supreme Court decision on race-based college admissions: ‘Not a normal court’

President Biden on Thursday condemned the Supreme Court’s decision that it is unconstitutional for universities to use race as a factor in admission decisions, and recommended that schools across the country find a workaround for a decision that he said ignored legal precedent. “Today, the court once again walked away from decades of precedent,” Biden said. “I strongly, strongly disagree with the court’s decision.” “This is not a normal court,” Biden said on his way out of the press conference. The Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that the use of race as a factor in admissions for college is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. Colleges will still be able to hear examples from students who overcame racial discrimination, but will be unable to judge on race alone.

WND Staff: Leftists melt down after Supremes strike down affirmative action

Kamala Harris charged, after the Supreme Court struck down race-based college admission programs as unconstitutional, that having that level of equity for all students is “a step backward for our nation.” She claimed that such a fairness “will harm the educational experience for all students,” and her perspective likely was a voice for leftists and activists who insist all America is racist and the solution to that racism is … more racism. A report at Just the News noted former First Lady Michele Obama, who attended an exclusive Princeton school shortly after her brother, a noted basketball star, set records for that school’s basketball team, claimed her “heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their future holds.” […] And ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lamented that the decision went against “racial justice.” It, she said, “does violence to justice and fairness in America.” Former acting Democratic National Committee chief Donna Brazile said, . . . […] “This is what spiritual wickedness in high places looks like,” claimed Ekemini Uwan, a theologian who has written books on “truth.” Jacqui Lewis, a pastor at Middle Church in New York City, went further, accusing the judiciary itself of racism.

Drey: Universities React To SCOTUS Affirmative Action Ruling, Harvard Vows To Find Loophole

Harvard University said it would comply with the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling that said its institution’s admissions system violated the Civil Rights Act — but indicated it would search for a loophole to accept applicants based on race.

mRNA COVID VACCINES

The Vigilant Fox: The Amish Died of COVID at a Rate 90 Times LOWER Than the Rest of America

“I did the calculation,” testified Steve Kirsch in front of the Pennsylvania State Senate. Given five Amish people died in Lancaster County, PA, “the Amish died at a rate 90 times lower than the infection fatality rate of the United States of America.” “Now, how is that possible?” Steve Kirsch

asked. “It’s possible because the Amish aren’t vaccinated. And because the Amish didn’t follow a single guideline of the CDC,” he answered.

Revolver.news: RFK Jr. reveals the smoking gun against the CDC — they’ve been caught red-handed…

RFK Jr. has been a relentless warrior against the dangerous COVID vaccine and the deceptive globalist bureaucrats at the CDC. Now, thanks to comedian Jimmy Dore, RFK Jr. has revealed the smoking gun on the CDC. This is the definitive proof that they outright lied to the American people about the vaccine. They knew the jab wouldn’t stop infection, but they kept on pushing it anyway.

CHILDHOOD VACCINATION DEBATE

The Vigilant Fox: Steve Kirsch: “We Can’t Find an Autistic Kid Who Was Unvaccinated”

“The Amish are a perfect example of a large group of people who are largely unvaccinated,” testified Steve Kirsch to the Pennsylvania State Senate. “You won’t find kids with ADD, with autoimmune disease, with PANDAS, PANS, with epilepsy. You just don’t find any of these chronic diseases in the Amish.”

2024 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY CANDIDATES

Hubbard: Pence meets with Zelensky in surprise trip to Ukraine

Pence, an ardent supporter of Ukraine, is the first 2024 Republican presidential candidate to go to Ukraine to meet Zelensky during their campaign. “I believe America’s the leader of the free world,” Pence told NBC News about his trip. “I’m here because it’s important that the American people understand the progress that we’ve made and how support for the Ukrainian military has been in our national interest.” He also said being a firsthand witness of the events in Ukraine “just steels my resolve to do my part, to continue to call for strong American support for our Ukrainian friends and allies.”

Daily News Wire: DeSantis Indicates As President, His DOJ Will Go After Elites Who’ve Played By Different Rules

“When you see Hunter get away with tax fraud, and you see all this money flying into the family bank accounts, and all these lies being told by the president,” Watters said. “If you ever to become president, would you have an attorney general that would look into these crimes?” DeSantis responded, “We are going to have one standard of justice. And right now, if you are connected to the D.C. ruling class, you get a pass on a lot of conduct.”

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Whedon: Biden promised to restore trust in US institutions but keeps assailing Supreme Court

resident Joe Biden, throughout his 2020 presidential campaign, vowed that he would work to restore America’s faith in the nation’s public institutions. Yet in the face of Supreme Court decisions upending his preferred policies, he has continuously attacked, or at least questioned, the credibility and legitimacy of the judicial branch. The Supreme Court under Biden’s administration has issued several rulings on such key political issues as abortion, gun control and most recently affirmative action – none of which have gone the Democrat president’s way. Following the high court’s 6-3 ruling Thursday that said colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis for granting admission, Biden said, “While the court can render a decision, it cannot change what America stands for.” At the conclusion of his remarks from the White House, a reporter asked Biden whether this was a “rogue court,” to which he replied, “This is not a normal court.”

Rodriguez: The Truth Finally Comes Out About Obama’s Family – His Life Is A Lie

With the exception of Donald Trump, all living US presidents had at least one ancestor who owned slaves, according to a Reuters analysis. The genealogies of “America’s political elite” were revealed by Reuters on Tuesday, and it was discovered that President Joe Biden and all of his living predecessors are derived from people who owned Black people as slaves. Even Barack Obama, the nation’s first Black president, comes from a white mother’s side of the family and is descended from a slaveowner. The following US presidents have slaveholding forebears, according to Reuters:

WATCH: Biden Gets Up And Leaves Live TV Interview While Still On Air

President Joe Biden awkwardly got up and left a live television interview on MSNBC Thursday afternoon while the cameras were still rolling. “Deadline” host Nicole Wallace was wrapping up the softball interview when Biden slowly got out of his seat. “Mr. President, thank you,” Wallace said as the president walked over and shook her hand. […] Biden, 80, had several other awkward moments during the interview, including when he mixed up the the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution while discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling that race-based college admissions are illegal.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

(H/T DG) Herridge & Kates: Hunter Biden’s former business partner was willing to go before a grand jury. He never got the chance.

A former business partner of Hunter and James Biden, who worked directly with them on a 2017 China energy deal, was never asked to testify to a Delaware grand jury investigating Hunter Biden, two sources familiar with the discussions tell CBS News. Tony Bobulinski, the former business partner, was open to testifying, and his attorney reached out to the office of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Weiss did not return their calls, the sources said. Weiss’ decision not to bring Bobulinski is the latest indication that prosecutors investigating Hunter Biden may have avoided investigating allegations about his father, President Joe Biden.

(Indiana) Brownsburg teacher’s license revoked after video shows she forced 7-year-old special-needs student to eat his own vomit

Sara Seymour, a 27-year-old former Life Skills teacher at Brown Elementary in Hendricks County, was previously terminated at a Brownsburg Community School Corporation meeting in May. Seymour and four other educators working at the Brownsburg elementary school were criminally charged in April after investigators say they told a 7-year-old student to eat his own vomit and failed to report the incident.

BARBIE MOVIE REVIEW

(Yes, a trans Barbie) Kennan: The Pink Menace

The hapless fools who run Current Year Hollywood have done something truly stupid. Dumber than that lesbian kiss in Lightyear. Dumber than putting Jennifer Lawrence is a raunchy teenage sex movie. Not as dumb as every single thing Kathleen Kennedy does, but still, pretty dumb.

They made a Barbie movie—for adults. A trad mom friend asked me today if she could take her girls to see the upcoming Barbie movie. She’s not on Twitter, so I had to be the bearer of bad news and it wasn’t that Barbie has a preposterous PG-13 rating or includes an unfunny “I’ll beach you off!” (get it?) argument between the Kens. If you were planning to take your little girls to see Barbie, you might be in for a rude surprise. Today, Time Magazine revealed their new cover featuring the cast of the upcoming movie, and I was today years old when I found out that Warner Bros. did the unthinkable: they cast a man as a Barbie.

We should have known. […] No Twitter Anon Barbie? Sad! I was almost looking forward to this movie as a semi-delightful romp through some core childhood toy memories, but no longer. It brings me no pleasure to say this, but “Barbie” is the slickest, most visually appealing, and therefore insidious, packaging of feminist clichés and trans grooming we’ve seen yet. Please—try to pass on “Barbie” harder than Hairy Nef is trying to pass as an icon of femininity.

OTHER NEWS, COMMENTARY, OPINION

(June 15, 2023) Archbishop Vigano’s Warning: The Priests Celebrating “Pride” are Homo-Heretics

One of the true spiritual leaders of our time, Archbishop Carlo Vigano, has just released a letter of warning regarding a “Pride” Mass to be celebrated today at the Holy Trinity Parish in Washington, DC. Vigano also names DC Cardinal Wilton Gregory as a promoter of the “homosexualist agenda.” Finally, Vigano calls on all faithful Catholics to “remove the servants of the Antichrist from the sacred precincts.” Today at Holy Trinity Parish, run by the Jesuits of Georgetown University in the Archdiocese of Washington, a Mass will be celebrated for “Catholic” activists of the LGBTQ+ movement. For years — ever since he was Archbishop of Atlanta — Wilton Daniel Gregory has been abusing his power to promote the homosexualist agenda, much to the scandal of the Catholic faithful. His monomaniacal fixation on the vice against nature earned him the Sacred Purple (i.e., the Cardinalate) and appointment to the See of Washington, D.C., a worthy heir to McCarrick and Wuerl, thus confirming that betrayal of Christ’s teaching is regarded in Bergoglio’s Vatican as a prerequisite for an ecclesiastical career.

Adelmann: Revival in Louisiana Still Going Strong After 8 Months

Move over, Asbury! Hammond, Louisiana’s revival that began last October shows no signs of slowing. Hammond, Louisiana, some 750 miles south of Wilmore, Kentucky (where the Asbury Revival broke out in February), is the site of a revival that is well into its eighth month and continues to bless and save hundreds. Since the revival began on October 16, 2022 at the Old Zion Hill Baptist Church, thousands have come — and continue to come — to hear evangelist David Harrison of the Voice of Hope Ministries.

Whitehead: Xylazine ‘Increasingly Detected’ In Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, CDC Says

Xylazine, a non-opioid veterinary tranquilizer, is often referred to as “tranq” and can cause skin ulcers and other wounds that could eventually lead to amputation. It’s been increasingly mixed into the illegal drug supply, and now the CDC says overdose deaths containing the substance increased by 276% from January 2019 to June 2022. “These data show that fentanyl combined with xylazine is increasingly dangerous and deadly,” director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy Dr. Rahul Gupta said in a statement. “This is why the Biden-Harris Administration recently designated it as an emerging threat.” [Note: Yet, under President Biden’s open border policies, cartels are invited into our country.]

Bredderman: Feds Charge Investors in Truth Social Deal With Insider Trading

While the former president battles the Department of Justice and the Manhattan district attorney, the Securities and Exchange Commission has indicted three investors involved in taking Trump’s fledgling Twitter alternative Truth Social public. The regulators allege that the trio—brothers Michael and Gerald Shvartsman and Bruce Garelick, who worked for Michael Shvartsman—rolled up $23 million in October 2021 thanks to non-public intel about the corporate maneuvers, violating confidentiality agreements and insider trading rules in the process. The SEC did not accuse Trump himself or his company of wrongdoing, and Truth Social’s ownership entity, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

INTERNATIONAL

Lynch: Europe swings right — and reshapes the EU

First, it was Italy. Then came Finland and Greece. Spain could be next. Across Europe, governments are shifting right. In some places, far-right leaders are taking power. In others, more traditional center-right parties are allying with the right-wing fringes once considered untouchable. Elsewhere, hard-right parties are securing more parliament seats and regional offices. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, already under surveillance for suspected far-right extremism, now outpolls Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats and just scored a watershed district election win — an alarming moment for a country conscious of its Nazi past.

Huff: After less than three decades of diversity, equity and inclusion, Africa’s richest city has turned into a “crumbling hellscape”

Not too long ago, Johannesburg, the capital city of South Africa, was a wealthy, vibrant and beautiful place – an economic gem and the pride of the vast African landscape. Today, however, the city has descended into a “crumbling hellscape” due to the imposition of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) politics.

DEI, by the way, is code for anti-white racism. Wherever it rears its ugly head, white people end up being mistreated – or in the case of Johannesburg, driven out of the city entirely because it is no longer safe to be white while living there. According to reports, Johannesburg saw a mass exodus of white people beginning in the 1990s and running through the early 2000s. Escalating violence, rampant anti-white racism, and limited employment opportunities for white people resulted in the once-successful city becoming a toxic, crime-ridden cesspool. “This once vibrant city, built on a foundation of wealth, has transformed into a bleak wasteland reminiscent of the novel ‘Lord of the Flies,’ overrun by chaos, violence, and despair,” reports Revolver – check out the below video to see for yourself what has happened to Johannesburg:
