The pro-Hamas agitators appear to have met their match in SEC country. As Jim Hoft reported on Thursday, hundreds of Ole Miss students gathered at the Pro-Hamas camp and began singing the National Anthem while also chanting “We want Trump!” Today, it was LSU’s turn to overturn the agitators. As WBRZ reported, protesters gathered on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge on Friday to air their grievances against Israel’s defensive actions against Hamas and to demand LSU disclose all of its financial ties to Israeli entities. But footage quickly emerged showing hordes of students hijacking the pro-Hamas...

Newly unsealed documents in Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump further prove Biden’s DOJ set up Trump. The unsealed motion reveals Jack Smith’s top prosecutor, Jay Bratt, met with a top Biden aide in September 2021 – before any classified documents were discovered at Mar-a-Lago. Bratt met with an aide to Biden’s White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain in September 2021. Per Julie Kelly: Jay Bratt–who led investigation into classified docs then moved to Jack Smith’s team after he was appointed–met with aide to WH chief of staff Ron Klain in Sept. 2021

CNN, the network that spent the majority of its airtime attacking President Donald Trump at every turn throughout his presidency, appears to have shifted direction, if the sentiment of their panel on Alvin Bragg‘s Case against Trump is anything to go by. On Thursday, a panel of CNN analysts agreed that the Manhattan case against Trump is all but doomed due to the lack of evidence. David Chalian told his colleagues, “I’ve seen precious little evidence presented yet that Trump wasn’t floating above.” Watch VIDEO AT LINK..................

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) is at the center of a controversy following a report from The Guardian about her admission in an upcoming book that she shot and killed her family’s 14-month-old hunting dog, Cricket, and a goat after a series of aggressive incidents. The book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward,” paints a stark picture of the hard choices Noem has faced in her personal life and political career. In the book, Governor Noem describes a troubling incident where Cricket, a wirehair pointer, displayed uncontrollable behavior during...

Hey Joe! Where is the strongest jobs recovery in history?? BLS reported that in April the US added just 175K jobs, a nearly 50% drop from the upward revised 315K (was 303K)… .. and a huge miss to estimates of 240K… in fact, as shown below, this was the biggest miss since Dec 2021 The weakness was pervasive, and while payrolls were a huge miss, the unemployment rate also rose more than expected, from 3.8% to 3.9%, vs estimates of an unchanged print. Wages also eased back with average hourly earnings rising 0.2% MoM, below the expected 0.3% increase and...

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan claims Hamas did not slaughter civilians on Oct 7th; despite killing 1,200. 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫: “What about the pictures of your soldiers with body cams shooting at civilians?” 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥: “No there’s no pictures like that.” The denial comes despite the fact Hamas filmed the slaughter on go pro cameras, live streamed executions and posted videos online as part of their psychological terror campaign. Over 1,200 civilians lost their lives during the attack, including dozens of children and entire families.

Misinformation professor who alerted Twitter to "conspiracy theory," that vaccines mandates were coming, coauthors papers with CDC scientists for publisher caught hiding Wuhan funder's conflict of interest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention repeatedly warned the public to reject purported misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines even after contradicting its then-director's certainty that the rushed-through therapeutics stop infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Rochelle Walensky kept promoting the claim, which she knew was false just a month after emergency use authorization, as late as April 2023, several months after former White House COVID adviser Deborah Birx said she "knew" the vaccines...

President Joe Biden made some very unkind comments about Japan on Wednesday, comparing the nation to Russia and China over what Biden says is economic stagnation due to "xenophobia." As RedState covered earlier on Thursday, Biden said that Japan isn't accepting enough migrants to its country leading to an economic downturn. It's an odd statement to make, given Japan's status as an important ally: “One of the reasons why our economy’s growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” Biden said at a Washington fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign and marking the start...

The Gateway Pundit continues to publish long-form interviews from the most censored film in America, “Let My People Go.” The film has reached millions of Americans through a a viral marketing campaign after the film was given away by its creator, former law professor David Clements, after he was de-banked and targeted by the IRS. During this full interview, Dr. Walter Daugherity, a Harvard Ph.D expert in Computer Science, and Professor Emeritus at Texas A & M University, breaks down how no state to date has independently examined the source code for the machines used in our elections, and how...

Fed Chair Powell yesterday said he doesn’t see the “stag” in stagflation. Really? Well, in Q1 in the US… it failed to show up as non-farm productivity – or nonfarm employee output per hour – rose at a measly 0.3% annualized rate after an upwardly revised 3.5% gain in the prior period (well below expectations)… Source: Bloomberg On the flip-side of that – and echoing the market-worrying ECI data earlier this week – Unit Labor Costs soared 4.7% in Q1 (well above the 4.0% expected and the 0.4% rise in Q4)… Source: Bloomberg So wage inflation is confirmed – rising...

Biden has said and done a lot of colossally stupid things. We now have one more for the pile, and it's a biggie. He plans to import Palestinians from Gaza. This is stupid beyond belief. Now for some background. Back in 2005 Israel departed from GazaOn September 12, 2005, Israel completed its unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip, as the last IDF soldiers left the coastal area after 38 years of Israeli presence. The disengagement plan was put forward by then prime minister Ariel Sharon to "lead to a better security, political, economic and demographic situation," according to the text...

If you actually believe that it is just a “coincidence” that anti-Israel protests have “spontaneously” erupted at dozens of colleges and universities all over the nation, you are just being delusional. As you will see below, these protests are being organized by paid professional agitators, and they are being funded by the same far left sources that have funded other radical protest movements in the past. But don’t just take my word for it. New York City Mayor Eric Adams is a far left mayor in a far left city, and even he is admitting that there were “professionals” involved...

In the time (dis)honored tradition of Haruhiko Kuroda, the former governor of the Bank of Japan, Japan likely conducted its second currency intervention this week, current account figures from the central bank suggest, in another sign of the government’s intensified battle to prop up the yen. Tokyo’s latest entry into the market was likely around ¥3.5 trillion ($22.5 billion), based on a comparison of Bank of Japan accounts and money broker forecasts. The BOJ reported Thursday that its current account will probably fall ¥4.36 trillion due to fiscal factors on the next business day of Tuesday. That compares with the...

New York’s GOP House delegation wrote a letter to [Columbia Univ. president Minouche] Shafik urging her to step down, and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania also said she should leave her post if she can’t do the job. Hochul visited the [Columbia Univ.] campus privately on Monday [04/22/2024], and the Democratic governor has refrained from saying Shafik should go. Hochul noted that the university’s administration is in the midst of negotiations with students as it attempts to clear its West Lawn of protesters who have set up tents on the quad and refused to leave.

World reserve status allows for amazing latitude in terms of monetary policy. The Federal Reserve understands that there is constant demand for dollars overseas as a means to more easily import and export goods. The dollar’s petro-status also makes it essential for trading oil globally. This means that the central bank of the US has been able to create fiat currency from thin air to a far higher degree than any other central bank on the planet while avoiding the immediate effects of hyperinflation. Much of that cash as well as dollar denominated debt (physical and digital) ends up in...
