I've been reading how Disney's Snow White is such a Woke disaster, it will lose tens of million s of dollars, and this has been the pattern at Disney for a long time. I ended my TV subscription a long time ago, and they destroyed the Star Wars franchise, again losing millions, and raised prices at their amusement parks to make up for that, and are now losing visitors.
What boggles the mind is their continued crusade to push
all this Woke stuff in spite of failure after failure, and now, it's my
opinion, we’re going to see the public become much more open about why
they hate all this stuff. Calling them by whatever negative epithet is of the moment is going to bounce off people because the alternative
media has exposed the consequences of “Wokeness” and people are fast
coming to the conclusion they just don’t care what these leftists think,
what they do, or what they say.
Culture is king, and we have to wonder if we're now seeing a cultural shift. It's being claimed the Gen Z generation is one of the most conservative generations because they've suffered the consequences of Woke, and don't like it. But I have reservations about all these young college educated people.
When doing man on the street interviews, and in the last one I saw was students on the beach, and they're asked fundamental questions about history and government, they're stunningly ignorant. They don't know who fought in the Revolutionary War, they don't know who the Vice President is, they don't know how many jurists sit on the Supreme court, and the list goes on and on..... embarrassingly on and on... and these are college students. That should concern everyone.
With Trump and Putin talking about some sort of solution to Ukraine, and future economic issues, guess who's the most concerned? China!
I used to shake my head and roll my eyes at all the rhetoric about how China and Russia were now big buddies, but they have history, and that history hasn't been pleasant, correspondingly they never trusted each other before and they don't now. I used to wonder if these journalists ever read a history book, but this kind of clabber was coming from geopolitical specialists also, demonstrating preconceptualism is a mental disorder, a disorder Henry Kissinger suffered from.
When the dust settles the Russians are gong to be in need of a major fix to their economy, and that can't come from China, but S. Korea and Japan deals may be on the table, which also would concern China since Japan has stated a desire to take on more defensive responsibilities in the region, with U.S. approval.
But real economic benefits will have to come from America, and that whole potential scares Xi. But make no mistake, Russia needs this war to end or their economic situation will become so bad they won't be able to catch up to either China or the U.S. Putin has put forward a plan for Ukraine to put under UN management, with some interesting initiatives, and that won't happen either, but it shows his desperation, and the geopolitical world sees it for what it is.
The other mostly unspoken truth about Russia is it's demographic pyramid, it's a mess. Ten years go it was estimated by 2040 ethnic Russians will be a minority in their own nation, and statistically there are less men than women, and with the massive loses in this war it's even worse. Russian history is replete with wars, starvation, and gulags, and serious cultural problems involving alcoholism, AIDS, and mental illness. The foundational cultural paradigm in Russia is suffering, and how to overcome it. That history will never go away, the rest is potentially fixable.
One of the things that's emerged economically out of the Russo/Ukrainian War is how nations found alternative sources for their needs. Once that happens, no one is willing to go back to "the olden days", as now these nations have a greater degree of autonomy, and they like it.
Ukraine is insisting European nations contribute boots on the ground to fight Russia, and on the front line. That's not playing well as they've only offered peace keeping forces after the war is over, which is the usual double talk and virtual signaling by Europe's "leaders".

‘The New York Times Created Castro’ - During an interview with Kengor on Wednesday’s edition of The Alex Marlow Show podcast, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow highlighted Kengor’s PragerU video on Cuba’s communist dictator Fidel Castro..........“A couple of things jumped out at me in your PragerU video on Castro,” Marlow said. “The New York Times created Castro, I had never thought of it that way.”.........
Editor's Note: For those interested, please view by Humberto Fontova
file, where he outlines all of this and much, much more, including
JFK's corruption in preserving Castro, the embrace of media stars and
Hollywood celebrities. All this has been known for years, and
suppressed for years by the Pravda media, academia, and the Democrat
party. RK
Quote of the day
- The quote of the day comes via EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin
Congratulations to Mr. Zeldin on the quote of the day: “I have
terminated the $2 BILLION Biden EPA grant to this
Stacey Abrams-linked NGO. The DOJ/FBI are investigating and the money
has been frozen. It is insane that the Biden Admin would give $2B to an
organization that previously only received $100!”...........
Alex Marlow with PragerU’s Dr. Paul Kengor: Democrats ‘Gave Us Pol Pot’ - During an interview with Kengor on Wednesday’s edition of The Alex Marlow Show podcast, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow highlighted Kengor’s PragerU video on Pol Pot,
which Marlow said confirmed his understanding that “the Democrats
basically gave us Pol Pot.”....“Democrat policies led to his rise and
thus widespread death,” ......
Well, That's How You Know the Dems Knew Biden Was in Rough Shape -
It’s now an open secret: everyone knew that Joe Biden was cooked—even
Democrats. We’ve seen Joe’s deterioration in real-time, whereas the
liberal media and the president’s allies manufactured this lie that the
former president’s mental and physical health was top-notch. That
Potemkin village collapsed when Donald Trump bulldozed Biden in the June
debate on CNN. Worse, Trump didn’t have to do much; Biden was slow,
slurred, and stupid......... Once booted off the 2024 ticket, Joe and his cronies made
sure they could do everything they could to hamstring Kamala Harris.............What
a selfish clown. Did he wreck things for Kamala? No. She wasn’t an
upgrade. Harris was younger but just as stupid and incapable of doing
media hits without coming off as totally insane........
House Handily Defeats Anti-Israel Amendments From Rashida Tlaib- Thursday was a bad day for Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a particularly
anti-Israel member of the Squad. The House passed the DETERRENT Act,
also known as the Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue
Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions Act, which was introduced by
Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA). It did so without Tlaib without in
favor, though, and without either of her two amendments included in the
bill. ..............
Karen Bass' Destroyed Text Messages Have Miraculously Reappeared - Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is still reeling from the massive wildfires
that engulfed the county in January. It’s likely going to be labeled
the costliest natural disaster in American history, with damage
estimates ranging from $164-250-plus billion. Ms. Bass was not in Los
Angeles when the fires broke out on January 7. She wasn’t even in the
United States. The mayor was partying in Ghana, celebrating the
president’s inauguration, which hardly seems appropriate, especially
since this trip was taxpayer-funded. Bass promised she’d never leave the
country during her time in the mayor’s office............
NPR CEO's Testimony on Capitol Hill Yesterday Was a Disaster -This might be one of my favorite Congressional hearing exchanges of all
time -- or at least within recent memory. It features Republican
Congressman Brandon Gill, a freshman from Texas, and the CEO of National
Public Radio, Katherine Maher. We'll get there, but before we proceed
any further, please recall that this is the same Katherine Maher whose long virtual trail
of woke, partisan, knee-jerk social media posts caused a stir after she
was tapped to take the helm of taxpayer-funded NPR last year. This
clip has also made the rounds, in which she laments our society's
"reverence for the truth" as a "distraction" and obstacle to making
progress and "getting important things done." In the hearing yesterday,
she tried to claim these comments have been taken out of context, but
her point seems fairly straightforward here, and it's certainly
interesting coming from someone who leads a newsroom:...........
Fired Biden Holdover Hampton Dellinger Takes Another Loss with Appeals Court’s Latest Order
- A
federal appeals court on Thursday responded to fired special
counsel Hampton Dellinger’s request to dismiss his case as moot after he
withdrew his litigation earlier this month.President Trump fired
Hampton Dellinger, the Special Counsel for the
Office of Special Counsel last month, however, the Biden holdover
continued to fight Trump in court and was successful because the case
was assigned to a corrupt Obama judge. The appeals court previously
granted a motion to stay Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s order reinstating
the Biden holdover. Following the ruling from the DC Circuit Court,
Hampton Dellinger said he was ending his legal fight with
Trump............
DOGE
DOGE Says 315,000 Credit Cards Have Been Canceled, Limited by Federal Agencies - The
Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said about 315,000
government credit cards have been canceled or limited by various federal
agencies under a cost-savings program. The Elon Musk-affiliated group
wrote in a post on Tuesday that “up to [approximately] 315,000 credit cards” were canceled by a number of federal agencies,
an increase from about 298,000 cancelations as of Sunday. DOGE said this was after a five-week “pilot program” was undertaken.
Credit card cancelations this week impacted agencies including the
Departments of Homeland Security, Interior, Commerce, Treasury, State,
Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Education,
Agriculture, and Labor.........
Fort Knox? Gold cams! - Let’s face it—we’ve all got the gold bug. When President Trump announced recently that he would conduct an
audit of the Fort Knox gold reserve,
it was all anyone could talk about. A friend asked if I thought the
gold was still there. I would like to
think so. I would like to think military discipline didn’t completely
erode under the Obama and Biden administrations. However, time,
technology, and the cleverness of rats mitigate against it. A gold bar
weighs 27.5 pounds. How easy would it be to counterfeit a
bar, skim-coat it with some gold, and then swap it out for the real
thing on the shelf? That’s what some folks imagine has happened. Others
think that the physical gold has been lent out, sold, and replaced with
worthless currency or just 1s and 0s in some government account......
New report: Netherlands is now euthanizing minors -Medical murder comes for the disabled children. Again. I mean, we’ve been here before, but for some reason, a sizable enough
portion of the population refuses to heed the words commonly attributed
to Spanish thinker, George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the
past are condemned to repeat it,” and so we traditionalists, “clinging
to” (as Barack Obama might derogatorily say) life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness, are left to scream into the void about how today
it’s the retarded kids, tomorrow it’s us.
My Take - Leftism believes in nothing except hate, greed, envy, lust, and the
desire to hold power over their fellow man, and more than willing to use
violence to tear down anything that stands in it’s way. All that Hitler stood for and promoted is being embraced in Europe. As a result,
the flawed values of leftism has contaminated the thinking of Europe,
and every aspect of European life. Europe is lost, and will really be
what Bismarck called it, a geographical designation. And unless
something dramatically changes, it will be conquered by Islam. RK
The UK’s Immigration Nightmare If
Keir Starmer continues to sink in the polls, and if the Conservatives

UK Employee Fired for Calling Hamas Killers ‘Disgusting’ Robert

Immigration
Visas for Terrorists, No Visas for Israelis - Opposing
the deportation of campus terrorists isn’t about free speech. It’s
about supporting terrorists. After the Trump administration moved to
deport foreign campus terrorist supporters, including Momodou Taal, who
had urged student protesters to take their cue from Hamas and tweeted
“absolutely anyone the US calls an enemy is my friend”, there was
outrage from the Left. […]
Chicago: Muslim cop vandalizes rabbi’s car, is not fired from the force or even disciplined If
a Jewish cop had vandalized a Muslim cleric’s car, do you think the
police would have been slow to fire him? Also, we would be inundated

EXCLUSIVE: Chicago Police Officer Mohammed Khan was caught kicking an
elderly rabbi’s car.

India: Muslim gang kidnaps and tortures Hindu man for talking to a Muslim woman The
Qur’an forbids Muslim women to marry “idolaters”: “Do not marry

your daughters in marriage to idolaters until they believe, for indeed, a
believing slave is better than an idolater, even […]
Iran: Senior ayatollah tells US that Iranian people ‘will wipe you off the face of history and politics’ Meanwhile,
in the U.S., prominent “influencers” tell us that Iran, which is
working on developing nuclear weapons, is no threat to the U.S., and
that only “the Jews” are insisting otherwise in order to advance the
cause of a “Greater Israel” in the Middle East. The only people who
could believe this are those who
Hamas funded Columbia protesters, bragged to hostages about their ‘American operatives’ It
was obvious from the beginning that the student protesters were tools
of Hamas. Now it turns out that they were actually an arm of Hamas. This
supports, of course, the idea that those among them who are not U.S.
citizens should be deported. “Columbia activists worked with Hamas,
captors told rescued hostage Shlomi Ziv,” […]

Middle East
Iran and Turkey call on global community to ‘stop Israel’s crimes in region’ - Days ago, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, issued calls for
protesters in the US and Europe to stop the Israeli military in Gaza.
Turkey has joined Iran in accusing Israel of “crimes” in the region
against the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria. These are specific
areas where Hamas, Hizballah, and the Houthis have all […]
The IDF’s Latest Blow Against the Jihadists in Gaza The
British journalist Brendan O’Neill reports on the IDF’s recent renewal
of fighting in Gaza, where it has devastated what remained of Hamas’
leadership, and on how the Western media, instead of celebrating, has
been denouncing Israel for this achievement. More on O’Neill’s furious
reaction to that media coverage can be found here: “Why don’t […]
Hamas Won't Like What the Justice Department Just Did -
The Justice Department on Thursday announced that it has disrupted a
scheme to finance terrorist group Hamas. The DOJ seized a little over
$200,000 in cryptocurrency that was supposed to go toward funding
Hamas,............U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. explained that the seizures “show
that this office will search high and low for every cent of money going
to fund Hamas” and said the terrorist group “is responsible for the
deaths of many U.S. and Israeli nationals.”..........
Rockets to Roses: Israel’s bizarre trade cycle with Aza - In a striking twist of economic irony, “Israel” proper finds itself
caught in a peculiar recycling cycle-of-trade with Aza (“Gaza” is the
Arab name, but Aza is part of the Land of Israel). Israel offers (and
allows in) steel, food, gas, and free electricity to the Jew-haters in
the client state of Aza, which in turn uses these resources to
manufacture rockets. Those rockets are then fired back at Israeli
residents, where their fragments (if safe) are repurposed into… Judaica.
Yes, really......Excuse me, I need to go duck. Another economic boom incoming!......
Signalgate
A Reporter Asked AG Bondi About the Signal Story During an MS-13 Presser. He Didn't Expect This Answer. - Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel oversaw a
successful law enforcement raid that captured one of the nation’s top
leaders of the gang MS-13. This person, 24 years old, had been in the
gang for ten years and quickly sharked his way to the top. Based on the
documents recovered upon his arrest, he was one of the prominent leaders
of this criminal operation. This individual was arrested by federal
agents yesterday.........
What Are Dems Trying to Say Regarding the NSA's Secret Sex Chat Fiasco and This Signal Story?- This Signal story involving Pete Hegseth, Michael Waltz, and other top
Trump officials has Democrats licking their chops over nothing. This
story isn’t going anywhere, and no one is getting fired. So, scream into
the void; we’re moving on. It was an unforced error as Waltz, or
someone on his staff, accidentally added The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg
into this chat on the encrypted messenger app. Goldberg alleges secret
anti-Houthi war plans were divulged. They were not, but the media is
going to peddle a lie because the chats were real—their contents are the
subject of exaggeration....
The Liberal Media Is SIGNALing a lot of Bullcrap Right Now- Only liberal America could be more upset over an encrypted messenger app
slip-up than a shambolic exit from Afghanistan that got Americans
killed. Democrats think they smell blood in the water, as the
media-manufactured fallout from the leaked Signal chat story continues
to make the Left all giddy over nothing. .........
The Passing Signal Psychodrama
- How does this blunder rank with prior diplomatic and military
screw-ups? When we finally learn the full melodrama of the so-called
Signal 1-2
day “scandal” of inviting a leftwing, Trump-despising, Atlantic editor
Jeffrey Goldberg onto a supposedly secure conference list, involving
most of the top Trump security officials, lots of questions need asking
and answering. Most importantly, who exactly had Goldberg’s private
number, and
ostensibly (in error [?]) could have possibly inserted it into the
cleared list of participants in the discussions? Why Goldberg, rather
than some random person of some 345 million Americans?...........
My Take - The
above article was written by Victor Davis Hanson, and as usual he has
great insights, and ..... great questions.... questions I've asked, and
would love to see answers to them, especially on how this "journalist"
got on that list in the first place. It's been claimed this was a
"mistake" by a staffer, and I have no doubt a staffer is responsible,
but I questioned whether this was a "mistake" from the beginning. One
thing was clear to me from the beginning, and this was a nothing burger
from a corrupt media, and Democrats with the integrity of scorpions. RK
Voter Rights
Supreme Court Grapples With Louisiana Voting Rights Act Case - The
Supreme Court on March 24 grappled with a much-litigated racial
gerrymandering case from Louisiana involving two consolidated cases:
Louisiana v. Callais and Robinson v. Callais. Gerrymandering refers to
the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to benefit a
particular party or constituency......
Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Race-Tinged Louisiana Electoral Dispute - The
Supreme Court decided on Nov. 4 to hear a racial gerrymandering case
from Louisiana. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of electoral
district boundaries to favor a particular party or constituency. The
case will not be heard in time for the Nov. 5 presidential and
congressional elections...........
My Take - As you read this it becomes
clear there's not one iota of racial discrimination on the part of the
Louisiana legislature. The racial discrimination is entirely from the
Democrat party, race hustlers, and the federal judicial system.
As
Scott Jennings – a conservative strategist and perennial guest on CNN –
pointed out in the wake of the manufactured fury, the Signal app was
already “preloaded” and “in use” when the new administration moved in.
