Millions of Ukrainians are enduring cold temperatures and darkness after a wave of Russian attacks against energy facilities caused widespread power outages across the country. read more


Dummkopf Trumpf's campaign committee Never Surrender Inc. began fundraising off NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's (D) win in earnest. The PAC emailed this screed: "This isn't for just anyone. YOU qualified because your profile proves you HEAVILY DESPISE dangerous Communists like Zohran Mamdani " the NYC radical who just won his election and is pushing RADICAL COMMIE Agenda harder than ever! Zohran Mamdani is going to make the Big Apple ROT!" The fundraising appeal is the latest effort from Trumpf's allies to make Mamdani a foil ahead of next year's midterm elections. The NRCC launched an ad campaign tying Democrats to Mamdani less than a day after his win. Trumpf bleated in an interview that he wants to see Mamdani do well, but warned the Muslim needs to be respectful of Washington. "I would like to see the new mayor do well, because I love New York," Trumpf, a draft dodging silver-spooned NYC native who never worked a day in his life sniveled. read more

Local Ithacan, student organizer, and member of the Communist Party USA, Hannah Shvets (20) decisively defeated landlord and former factory CEO Gepe Zurenda in a hotly contested race for the Fifth Ward Common Council seat. Shvets was propelled to her seat by a growing coalition composed of labor unions, community organizations, and the numerous local formations of the progressive left. Ithaca, a Democratic stronghold, has long dealt with persistent wealth inequality, food insecurity, exorbitant housing prices (with resulting rampant homelessness), and an intensifying cost of living crisis. Democratic Party dominance, however, has done little to provide long-term solutions to these seemingly endemic problems. Many residents feel a lot of the explanation for this failure was embodied in Shvets' opponent. The Democratic Party leadership should be paying more attention to the progressive left and less towards Wall Street and AIPAC if they want future electoral success. read more


Faux News host Maria Bartimoro interviewed medical quack Dr. Mehmet Oz who owns millions in stocks in the same health insurance companies his department oversees:

  • TV Tumor: "Do you have thoughts on how these ACA subsidies should move forward? The Committee for Responsible Budget says if you do a deal and fully extend those without any offsets, that would be a costliest way to end the shutdown ever. Because a 2-year extension costs $60 billion. The full counter proposal continuing resolution rolls back the Medicaid savings of $1.5 trillion " Republicans are never going for that. Do you have a thought on how you want to see this play out once these subsidies do expire this year?"
  • Quack: "You always ask the right questions, Maria. I spent a good part of the weekend with the White House working on exactly the answer to that question. We have lots of great ideas, but I don't want to show our cards. As the president often says, Why would I telegraph what we are going to do?' read more


    In a shocking admission, former D/Mossad Yossi Cohen has openly boasted that Israel has deployed a global sabotage and espionage network which uses "booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment." The method, denounced as terrorism by ex-CIA chief Leon Panetta and the UN, was used to target Lebanese Hezbollah and now, according to Cohen, is embedded in "all the countries you can imagine." Cohen, who led a blackmail campaign against ICJ judges, claimed personal credit for inventing the "pager method" during his tenure at Mossad's SOD between 2002 and 2004. "You know how many treated equipment we have in these countries? Not only booby-trapped, but spy-manipulated ... in all countries you can imagine," Cohen confessed, describing what appears to be a far-reaching system of compromised commercial hardware used to gather intelligence or, in some cases, cause physical harm. And we thought Chinese intelligence was penetrating all of our electronic devices. read more

    "The state of Israel, established in 1948 by its founding war, has appropriated approximately 91 percent of the land in what originally was called Palestine. Since WWII, the US has provided more foreign aid to Israel than to any other country. Total US foreign assistance to Israel 1946 to 2022: $317.9bn."

    The World Bank considers Israel a "high-income country." In 2024, Israel's GNI was $55,250. By contrast, NATO EU member UK: $48,610 and NATO member Canada: $53,340.

    Israel's universal healthcare system is ranked globally in the top ten and the term 'medical bankruptcy' does not exist there. Meanwhile in the US, an average 530,000 American families file for medical bankruptcy every year in our for-profit system. Israel's pension system is ranked third best in the world at 'B', above the US and UK which both ranked at 'C+.' On the Global Happiness Index (GHI), Israel ranked 8th while the US dropped to 24th. No wonder.

    So, why is the hardworking American taxpayer funding a country where its citizens are enjoying a much superior quality-of-life who are ethnically cleansing their country of Arabs and Muslims?

    Sidenote: Unlike the US with direct subsidies, since the late 1960s Canada has been indirectly funding Israel through charities and tax-deductible regulations per province and federally, albeit at a smaller scale. See one of many sources below.
