Oklahoma expected to abolish state grocery tax | Blaze Media

Oklahoma Republican Governor Kevin Stitt is expected to sign a new bill into law that would eliminate the state's grocery tax, KOCO reported.

MuskegonPundit: From the web---How we got the politicians we got!---Free Ice Cream
"The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.
  • I decided we would have an election for a class president.
We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections.
Both candidates were good kids.
I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.
I had never seen Olivia's mother.
The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. 
Everyone applauded.
He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. 
Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." 
She sat down. 
The class went wild. 
"Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." 
She surely would say more. 
She did not have to. 
A discussion followed. 
  • How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? 
  • She wasn't sure. 
  • Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? 
  • She didn't know. 
  • The class really didn't care. 
  • All they were thinking about was ice cream. 
Jamie was forgotten. 
Olivia won by a land slide.
  • Every time most politicians open their mouths, they offer ice cream, and fifty percent of America reacts like nine-year-olds.
They want ice cream.

"Obama’s CIA Asked Foreign Intel Agencies To Spy on Trump Campaign. 

“The revelation that the U.S. intelligence community, under the Obama administration, sought the assistance of the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance to surveil Donald Trump’s associates before the 2016 election is a chilling reminder of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to protect its interests and challenge its adversaries. 

(The Five Eyes countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.) 

This bombshell, reported by a team of independent journalists, exposes a dark chapter in American political history, where foreign intelligence services were reportedly mobilized against a presidential candidate.”

U.S. children are being kicked out of schools to make room for illegal immigrants. Airports and other spaces are being repurposed to house illegal immigrants. American taxpayer dollars are being used to provide care and resources for illegal immigrants.

You get the picture: illegal immigrants > American citizens.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the pattern will shift anytime soon, at least while Biden remains in office.

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan is launching his own digital media company that he’s hoping will fill a “gap in the market.”

No one really on the progressive left has been able to pull off anything similar,” Hasan told The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr about the venture.

He added later that there is a “craving” and “gap in the market” he intends to fill.

“I believe there is a craving for media organizations that don’t shy away from saying the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it bothers people, even if it hinders access, even if it shakes the apple cart,” he said. “From a purely business perspective, there is a gap in the market.”

Paul Krugman Plays the Fool: 'White Rural Rage' Is 'Single Greatest Threat Facing American Democracy' By Mike Miller

Paul Krugman Plays the Fool: 'White Rural Rage' Is 'Single Greatest Threat Facing American Democracy' By Mike Miller 
""Distinguished" economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman... the elitist, bubble-dwelling left-winger made a complete fool out of himself by declaring "white rural rage" is the "single greatest threat facing America" today.
Not only did Krugman fail to connect the dots between "white rural rage" and whatever "single greatest threat" he concocted in his TDS-riddled brain, but he also failed to provide a single example of how this alleged rage is manifested...
In a Monday NYT op-ed titled "The Mystery of White Rural Rage," Krugman hyperbolically wrote (emphasis, mine):

...This is especially true when technological change undermines not just individual workers but whole communities.

This isn’t a hypothetical proposition. It’s a big part of what has happened to rural America.

This process and its effects are laid out in devastating, terrifying, and baffling detail in “White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy,” a new book by Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman. I say “devastating” because the hardship of rural Americans is real, “terrifying” because the political backlash to this hardship poses a clear and present danger to our democracy, and “baffling” because at some level I still don’t get the politics...

If the Biden administration planted the operative, as the sources say, it would present a strong argument that the administration interfered in the 2024 presidential election.

Do You Want Fries With That? Thoughts on a Liberal Arts Major - Intellectual Takeout

Do You Want Fries With That? Thoughts on a Liberal Arts Major - Intellectual Takeout - Jeff
"Over the past two decades, the liberal arts have taken a beating. University students in droves have backed away from taking degrees in English literature, history, and philosophy, turning instead to what they regard as more marketable majors such as business, mathematics, computer science, and even fitness training.
  • In many cases, professors and entire academic departments have accelerated this precipitous decline in the humanities. If you love literature and reading, why take a degree that deconstructs Shakespeare into a rabid misogynist?..
Given the right circumstances, however, liberal arts majors can graduate from college learned in their field of study and able to win a satisfying job in the work force.
Let me tell you about four students, siblings, whom I know well...
  • What is the secret to their success?...Great read!

Reactions to Associated Press framing illegal immigrant murder as toxic masculity | Blaze Media

The Associated Press was obliterated online for a recent article that attempted to dismiss the illegal immigrant murder suspect in the brutal killing of Laken Hope Riley, and instead tried to blame toxic masculinity for the brutal slaying. On Saturday, the AP published an article titled: "The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes." The article did not acknowledge that Riley's suspected killer was an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. Instead, the news site described Jose Antonio Ibarra as an "Athens resident."

  • It's happening in the death of the alleged "nonbinary and gender fluid" high school student, Nex Benedict, who tragically died a day after being in a 2 minute scuffle that, by accounts of the witnesses, she started. LGBTQ activists took over her memorial service yesterday to say "we don't really care how she died or even if she started it, all of you who question transgenderism are responsible of her death!"
  • If you are black, you are a victim of systemic racism, and therefore cannot be racist or blamed for anything you do, especially if you do it against a non-black person (not just whites, Asians are oppressors, too).
In essence, identity determines your innocence.
If you are white you are guilty, and if you are white AND Donald Trump, you should be executed at dawn.

"Just days ago, on February 14 to be precise, Vladimir Putin said he prefers Biden in the 2024 presidential race. 

Nevertheless, the media, often with the intelligence community’s aid, seems to be trying again in the indictment of Vladimir Smirnov to hint that Donald Trump is somehow being aided by Russia.  

Thin gruel, indeed. A quick review of the FBI’s consistent election meddling and gaslighting of voters is the necessary background for this week’s account.

2. The Trump Tower Russians Hoax: In July of 2017, The New York Times reported that Donald Trump, Jr. met with a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, at Trump Tower in 2016 in the hope that she had opposition research against Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Although a meeting did take place, the “Russian” in question shared a client with Fusion GPS -- the firm Clinton hired to frame Trump...

3. The Hunter Biden Russian Disinformation Hoax: In October of 2020, shortly after The New York Post reported on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop , 51 intelligence officials signed a letter characterizing the story as Russian disinformation…

4. The Russian Bounty for U.S. Soldiers Hoax: In June of 2020, NBC cited anonymous government sources who claimed that the Russians paid bounties to the Taliban for every U.S. soldier it killed. Later, after the election, NBC admitted the story could not be verified…
