Elon Musk for President?

The Constitution limits eligibility to natural-born citizens, but that’s what constitutional amendments are for.

Need a made-in-the-U.S.A. reusable space rocket to end NASA’s reliance on Russia to access the International Space Station? Go to Musk. Need to bolster your party’s war on fossil fuels with a stylish made-in-the-U.S.A. electric car? Go to Musk. Need to develop a functional commercial space program? Go to Musk. Need a low-orbit satellite system to bring internet access to isolated and underserved populations? Go to Musk. Need a rapid relaunch option in case Russia or China starts shooting our satellites out of orbit? Go to Musk.

SpaceX Engineer In North Carolina Has Dire Warning: Biden-Harris’ FEMA “Actively Blocking Shipments” For Relief

A shocking firsthand account from a SpaceX engineer in storm-battered North Carolina reveals that Biden-Harris’ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) blocked shipments of critical goods for relief efforts into the region. There have been numerous reports this week of FEMA actively hindering relief efforts in the western part of the state, including threatening private helicopter pilots with arrests for conducting rescue missions. We also learned that the Biden-Harris administration drained FEMA funds to support illegal aliens, prioritizing non-citizens (future voters) over American citizens.

US supreme court will rule on $10bn suit Mexico filed against US gun makers

The US supreme court said on Friday it will decide whether to block a $10bn lawsuit Mexico filed against US gun manufacturers and distributors that argues that their negligent and illegal commercial practices have unleashed bloodshed in the country.

The lawsuit, filed in Boston in August, names Smith & Wesson, Barrett Firearms, Beretta, Colt and Glock, as well as Boston-area wholesaler Interstate Arms.

The Mexican government says it wants to “put an end to the massive damage that the Defendants cause by actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels and other criminals in Mexico”.

Unchecked Immigration Has Transformed America

The wall of silence surrounding the harm to low-wage workers has begun to crack.

The United States is deep into a season of severe discontent. Our politics are polarized, our Congress is moribund, and our purchasing power has tumbled. A Gallup poll in early 2024 showed that only 20 percent of Americans are satisfied with the “way things are going.” Nearly 70 percent believe the country is on the “wrong track.”

Massive surge of illegal migrants, including suspected terrorists, crossing border from Canada to US

It’s well-known that millions of migrants have illegally entered the United States, crossing over the country’s southern border with Mexico. What isn’t as well-known is migrants are also crossing illegally into the US over its northern border with Canada.

And while it’s very much shy of the numbers coming in from the south, the number of migrants crossing from the north has increased 50-fold under the Biden-Harris administration, according to the US Border Patrol.

Canada to US Immigration Hits Ten-Year High

Recent data from the US Census Bureau has revealed that more than 126,340 people emigrated from Canada to the US in 2022 – a 70 percent increase from 2012 in a move many have attributed to the country’s increasingly high cost of living. However, as a nation that granted permanent residency to 2.5 million people in just eight years and thousands more expected to settle south of the border in the coming years, it’s an alarming trend that has the potential to undermine the country’s robust immigration policy.

Anti-Muslim hate in US rises since 7 October say advocates of Israel’s destruction

Anti-Muslim hate in US rises since 7 October but advocates praise community resilience

Arafat Issa hangs Palestinian flags across a pedestrian bridge in Durham, North Carolina, almost every week. But on 28 July, a man in a baseball cap pulled out a knife and cut the flags down from the steel railing. Issa says the man cursed at him and his family before waving the knife in their direction. They had two small children, including Issa’s four-month-old daughter, with them.

“He told us: go back where you came from,” Issa says. “I was scared … it’s not like we were doing anything wrong. We were peacefully protesting.”

Issa is a 42-year-old Palestinian American barber who has lived in North Carolina for more than a decade. His parents and siblings are in the West Bank, where settler violence against Palestinians is escalating. His experience is one of many examples of anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim hate documented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) since 7 October of last year. “We are seeing an uptick in violent vigilante response to peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters,” said Nicole Fauster-Bradford, a community advocacy director at Cair.

Destroying America from Inside the Movies

The Damned is a Trojan horse critique of modern America.

Roberto Minervini’s The Damned is titled after Luchino Visconti’s awesome, harrowing 1969 epic about Nazi decadence, The Damned. Minervini is an Italian immigrant (not a “migrant,” as the media and politicians like to misname the illegal invaders) who arrived in the U.S. at age 30 in 2000 — during the Bush-Gore electoral conflict, he recalls. Since then, Minervini graduated from New York City’s socialist university The New School, eventually settling in Texas, where he chose native white locals as the subject of his semi-documentary filmmaking.

Liberal Canada’s lax immigration policies behind a plot to kill Jews in NYC, ‘largest attack since 9/11’

Americans are well aware of the security disaster of the Biden-Harris open southern border — including 400 illegal crossers who were flagged on the FBI terrorism watch list.

But an alarming new terrorism prosecution in New York now demands American attention and diplomatic pressure be turned on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented mass immigration policies.

Canada was slightly richer than Montana in 2019. Now it is poorer than Alabama

CANADA AND America’s economies are joined at the hip. Some $2bn of trade and 400,000 people cross their 9,000km of shared border every day. Canadians on the west coast do more day trips to nearby Seattle than to distant Toronto. No wonder, then, that the two economies have largely moved in lockstep in recent decades: between 2009 and 2019 America’s GDP grew by 27%; Canada’s expanded by 25%.

Bombshell revelations: Apparent cover-up of DNC pipe bomb that was found on January 6 appears to unravel

Jan 6 DC Pipe Bomb Suspect

WASHINGTON, DC – While Democrats and the media have been focusing on the shiny object of the January 6, 2021 siege at the U.S. Capitol, another incident that occurred that day has been ignored. This incident, involving the discovery of pipe bombs, is possibly much more serious than what occurred at the Capitol. It raises a lot of questions and underscores the need for further investigation and public engagement.

Here’s how college campuses are prepping for October 7 after Israel-Palestine turmoil interrupted last year

Police in riot gear. Occupied buildings. Thousands of arrests. Distrupted classrooms. An atmosphere of fear and campuses crisscrossed with encampments.

In the year since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, universities across the globe were riven with protests, vigilante mobs, and antisemitism and Islamophobia investigations. Now, college officials are cracking down and trying to avoid similar scenes as the conflict approaches its one-year anniversary. Universities are announcing measures they say will keep campus safe and uninterrupted this year, after last year’s Israel-Palestine turmoil.

But activists say new restrictions on protest rights only further their resolve.
