An Absolutely Enormous Economic Shift Of Historic Proportions Is Now Taking Place Right In Front Of Our Eyes

Over the past few weeks, I have heard from so many readers that are deeply troubled about economic conditions where they live. - MICHAEL SNYDER

• In some cases, sales are way down. 
• In other cases, it seems almost impossible to find a decent job. 

"It is almost as if a tremendous chill descended upon the U.S. economy as the second quarter of 2024 began. 

Yes, economic conditions have certainly not been good for a few years, but it appears that an absolutely enormous economic shift of historic proportions is now taking place right in front of our eyes. 

Other than the early stages of the pandemic, we haven’t seen anything like this since 2008 and 2009.

Let me give you an example that will illustrate what I am talking about. A reader that lives near Seattle recently wrote me about the horrible downturn that she is witnessing in the tech industry, and she said that I could share this information with all of you…

On the Ideological Origins of Fascism

No political category is more misunderstood and misapplied today than fascism. - AARON KHERIATY, MD
"...The current globalist ideology driving the regime of censorship and control, and roiling our campuses and other institutions, has more in common with Italian Fascism than Soviet Communism. 

However, no political term is more misunderstood and misapplied today than fascism...
The terms “fascist” and “fascism” are continuously bandied about today...

All Biden!

The explosion of phony 'science' causing people to distrust 'the experts' | Blaze Media: 

The idea that science is a self-correcting field is a “fiction,” says Oransky. “That’s just nonsense. The people who are getting caught nowadays — and that’s not everyone — nothing is happening to them.” Often, papers aren’t being retracted or corrected. They’re living on in perpetuity, lost in the massive wave of research that sweeps across people’s desks.

Trump Is Gagged, but Only NOW Does the Judge Wag a Limp Finger at His Trial's Biggest Trash Talkers VICTORIA TAFT

The entire time that Judge Juan Merchan has attempted to silence Donald Trump with a gag order, two of the chief witnesses against him have been free to trash talk the former president in podcasts, interviews, and on YouTube and TikTok.
"And have they ever. 

Now, and only now, has the judge in the case shaken a reproving forefinger at the trash talkers in chief of the Trump trial.

• Trump's attempt to set the record straight (as he sees it) by posting other people's observations and stories on his Truth Social account has been met with a big fat $1,000 fine per offense for contempt of the court's gag order. On Tuesday, Trump was found in contempt of court for nine violations of the gag order put on the defendant.

One month ago, while on "The View," Stormy told that coven of magpies that she was "absolutely ready" to testify against Trump. 

She sat with the women to talk about her tell-all documentary called "Stormy."...

Arabella: The Far-Left Billionaires' Network That Vows to Fundamentally Transform America ED MORRISSEY

It sounds like an organization from a James Bond film, like SPECTRE or SMERSH.-

"Unlike Ian Fleming's creations, Arabella Advisors actually exists, and it also seeks to remake America in a Marxist image, according to a new book by Scott Walter. “ARABELLA: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming America” reveals how America's wealthiest progressives use dark-money networking to fundamentally transform American politics.
If you haven't heard of Arabella Advisors, don't be surprised.
Q: How much did Arabella spend in the 2020 presidential cycle?
A: Well, the nonprofits took in during the 2020 cycle, so that's two years, $2.4 billion. 

And in case you're wondering for reference, that is more than the DNC plus the RNC and then add a billion, okay?

The Judge Drops the Hammer on Trump for Breaking Gag Order VICTORIA TAFT

Saying "thank you" to Michael Avenatti for Avenatti's comments on the gag order. From ABC News:

"...Quickly, here are the nine violations of the order according to Judge Mechan:

• Saying "thank you" to Michael Avenatti for Avenatti's comments on the gag order. From ABC News:

"We can't be hypocrites when it comes to the 1st Amendment," Avenatti wrote. "It is outrageous that Cohen and Daniels can do countless TV interviews, post on social, & make $$ on bogus documentaries - all by talking s**t about Trump - but he's gagged and threatened with jail if he responds."

"Thank you to Michael Avenatti," Trump posted in response, "for revealing the truth about two sleaze bags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly!

• In another post, he reminded readers that the woman who signed the nondisclosure agreement with Trump's attorney Michael Cohen testified that she and Trump had never had sexual relations. That was deemed a violation.

Other violations include:

• Going after witness Michael Cohen in multiple posts for being a convicted felon and multiple perjurer for lying to Congress. Cohen also was convicted of his own tax fraud charges. The post also named Mark Pomerantz, one of the prosecutors who wrote a book on how to Get Trump. 
• Trump shared a National Review article entitled, "No, Cohen's Guilty Plea Does Not Prove Trump Committed Campaign-Finance Crimes." 
• Trump was fined for quoting a Fox News story about all the "undercover" liberals trying to get on the Trump jury. 
• "Disparaging" jurors in an interview when he said they were 90% liberals.

America Is Tipping Over

Where did this tip tsunami come from? - Kurt

I’m a strong believer that when you tip, you should tip well. It’s a touch of class. I know some people resent tipping, but that’s what you do in the United States in the appropriate context. It’s part of our culture. You should just do it because that’s what’s done, and, at least in the past, the people helping you depended on tips because it was assumed you would...

But you know, when I hit the dry cleaners and there’s a tip jar there, that’s a beg too far. 

A tip jar at a fast-food place?...That’s crazy talk, especially in California, where you have to pay a McWorker as much as a Goldman Sachs vice president..

FDNY firefighter fired by city to free up funds for illegal aliens dies suddenly, leaving behind struggling young family | Blaze Media

FDNY firefighter fired by city to free up funds for illegal aliens dies suddenly, leaving behind struggling young family | Blaze Media: 

Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens have flooded into New York City where, in many cases, they receive thousands of dollars in free rent monthly from the government. They are also eligible for a host of taxpayer-funded services such as health insurance, medical care, food assistance, and public education. NYC has struggled to find ways to pay down the cost of housing, feeding, and placating this unlawfully imported cohort, which has brought with it upticks in crime, disease, and resource competition, disproportionately affecting America's most vulnerable citizens. As with other Democratic-run sanctuary cities, NYC determined late last year that it would have to make various budget cuts, laying off citizen workers to free up funds for idling foreigners.

The lesson from Columbia - Don Surber

The protest is not getting much traction for several reasons. - Don Surber

• The first reason is nobody cares. Jim Carville had a rant on Twitter and he said of 15 issues people under 30 were asked to rank, young people listed the Palestinian war as No. 15.

...There are aesthetic reasons as well. As I recall, the girls in the Vietnam protests were hot. 

• Two generations later, the girls are chubbier and wearing masks. 
• You also don’t know if you will get a surprise when she takes off her jeans...

Times have changed. In the 1960s, colleges were seen as places of scholarship. 

People revered the Ivy League schools. 

• Over time, the schools shed their reputations in favor of promoting bad science (climate change) and bad policy (DEI) and outright racism (critical race theory)...
