Americans Are Smashing Flock Cameras

17th May 2026

Read it.

People across the United States are cutting down, smashing, and dismantling Flock Safety surveillance cameras. At least 25 cameras have been destroyed in five states since April 2025. One Virginia man faces 25 criminal charges for systematically destroying 13 cameras—he says he did it for the Fourth Amendment. The destruction comes as public anger builds over Flock’s documented ICE connections. Cities are hiding camera locations. Reddit threads show near-universal support. This is what happens when a $7.5 billion surveillance company ignores public opposition.

Scientists Just Discovered a Vast Ocean Trapped 700 Km Beneath Earth’s Surface

17th May 2026

Read it.

Scientists have found a massive reservoir of water buried about 700 kilometers below Earth’s surface, and it could hold three times as much water as all the oceans combined. This hidden ocean is trapped inside deep mantle rock and cannot be directly accessed or seen.

The discovery suggests that a lot of Earth’s water may have come from inside the planet itself, not just from comets or asteroids crashing into the early Earth. It could also explain why ocean levels have stayed relatively stable over hundreds of millions of years, even with continents drifting and climates changing.

Learning how water behaves deep in the mantle helps scientists understand Earth’s geology and how the oceans we know today have lasted so long.

California Billionaires Find Bliss in Nevada Border Town While Fleeing Wealth Tax

17th May 2026

New York Post.

Incline Village on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe has seen an influx of ultra-wealthy Californians fleeing the state’s proposed billionaires tax.

Silicon Valley billionaires like Google co-founder Sergey Brin, SpaceX investor Steve Jurvetson, and Naveen Rao, with Unconventional AI, have recently moved to the Nevada bordertown on the north shore of Lake Tahoe ahead of a proposed “billionaire tax” in the state.

“Our primary market is Californians seeking tax refuge in Nevada and people buying second homes,” Cole Mizak, a top luxury real estate broker in the area told The Post.

The state has two monopolies it must protect whatever the cost: the monopoly on decreeing what is legal tender and on force.

We’re entering an era in which push comes to shove will lead to immovable objects encountering irresistible forces. All sorts of verities and vanities will be bulldozed as kicking the can down the road descends into desperation to stave off collapse, a desperation that unleashes second order effects the desperate did not anticipate. The only responses at this late stage are even more desperate, so desperation is self-reinforcing.

Thousands Take Part in Rival London Protest Marches

17th May 2026

Read it.

Separate groups of protestors converged on the capital. One route was taken in the build-up to a “Unite the Kingdom” rally, organised around the activist Tommy Robinson (born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon).

The separate annual pro-Palestinian Nakba Day march commemorating the displacement of Palestinians in 1948 also went ahead, in line with the pattern of weekly ‘pro-Palestine’ marches in the capital that began in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas-led October 7 pogrom in Israel.

Attendees at the Robinson event travelled from across the country, with some wearing “Make England Great Again” hats, or carrying wooden crosses and chanting “Christ is King.” British authorities had earlier banned at least 11 foreign right-wing speakers from entering the country ahead of the demonstrations.

Establishment Media Outraged by White House Sponsored Christian Prayer Event

17th May 2026

Read it.

The mainstream media’s outrage over religious expressions by government institutions and politicians is highly selective. At bottom, it the event is Christian, they attack. If it’s any other religion, they applaud.

Did the mainstream media publish indignant diatribes when leftist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani held Muslim dinners at City Hall and Gracie Manor for Ramadan? The answer is no, of course they didn’t. Because Islam is celebrated by modern liberal movements and Christianity is despised. And, it’s important to take note of what leftists hate, because if they hate it, it’s probably good.

The WHO Drums Up Fear With Ebola After Hantavirus Scare Fails

17th May 2026

Read it.

One of the biggest mistakes globalists made in their bid for perpetual medical authoritarianism during the Covid pandemic was reveling a bit too much. Numerous high level officials from the WEF, WHO, the Imperial College of London and an army of politicians were giddy with excitement and bragged publicly about all the power they were going to grab as the masses huddled in fear of a virus with a 99.8% average survival rate.

This arrogance cost them, triggering an awakening of millions of former skeptics who are now avid “conspiracy theorists”. Today, the ability of the elitist class to sucker the populace into a new pandemic theater is greatly reduced.

No one believes them anymore. And even if there was a legitimate biological threat, no one is going to trust an corrupt organization like the WHO to solve the problem.

We have see the consequences of the covid farce with the recent Hantavirus scare, which has failed to inspire any noticeable reaction from the public. As we noted a few days ago, the WHO has been exposed as a perpetrator of pandemic disinformation and is no longer trusted by the public.

Tesla Solar Roof Is on Life Support as It Pivots to Panels

17th May 2026

Read it.

Tesla’s Solar Roof was supposed to revolutionize residential solar. Elon Musk unveiled the product in 2016 with the promise of beautiful solar tiles that would replace your entire roof — and he set a target of 1,000 new Solar Roofs per week by the end of 2019. Nearly a decade later, Tesla has installed roughly 3,000 Solar Roof systems total, stopped reporting deployment numbers, and is now quietly pivoting to conventional solar panels.

The gap between Tesla’s Solar Roof promise and reality is one of the most stark examples of unfulfilled ambitions in the company’s history — and it has left thousands of customers stuck with an expensive product that Tesla appears to have deprioritized.

Be not the first by whom the new is tried
Nor yet the last to cast the old aside.

Trump’s Revenge Tour Claims Its Biggest Victim Yet

17th May 2026

Politico, a Voice of the Crust.

President Donald Trump keeps knocking out his political enemies in the GOP. On Saturday, Sen. Bill Cassidy was the latest to fall.

It’s a massive warning sign for any Republicans who’ve provoked the president’s wrath: Trump’s revenge campaign has already mobilized voters in both Indiana, where he successfully ousted several state GOP senators over redistricting, and Saturday night in Louisiana. Tuesday’s primaries in Georgia and Kentucky, where Rep. Thomas Massie is up for reelection and he’s picked sides in the open Senate race, will be another test. Now, the president is entering those races with the wind at his back.

Cassidy’s distant third-place finish marks the end of his tenure in the Senate, one that was doomed by his vote to convict Trump on impeachment charges related to the Jan. 6 insurrection five years ago.

Albanian Triple Killer Was Granted Asylum in Britain While on the Run

The Telegraph (UK).

An Albanian triple murderer who was granted asylum and citizenship in the UK while he was on the run has been apprehended in the US.

Sokol Hoxha, 50, fled mainland Europe for Britain after killing his 19-year-old wife in 1997 in Belgium and murdering two brothers in Albania in the same year.

He came to Britain using a false identity, fraudulently claiming that he was a Kosovan refugee, which allowed him to claim asylum and ultimately British citizenship.

The Telegraph (UK).

Trump administration officials are encouraging the United Arab Emirates to get more heavily involved in the Iran war and seize one of Tehran’s Gulf islands, The Telegraph understands.

Some in Donald Trump’s circle have suggested the UAE should take Lavan Island, which was reportedly bombed in secret military strikes by the Emiratis in early April, a former senior Trump security official told The Telegraph.

“Go take ’em!” the official said. “It would be UAE boots on the ground instead of US.”

The past two years alone major corporations with a market capitalization totaling more than $3.2 trillion have left Delaware — as the state loses its status as America’s corporate capital in favor of business-friendly states such as Texas and Nevada.

Quote of the Day – Discrimination

16th May 2026

Read it.

One of the saddest thing about the Obama and Biden Administrations is how they renormalized bias. By the end of the George W. Bush Administration discrimination on the basis of race, of bigotry was on life support. No, it wasn’t entirely gone, but it was fading away. For most people the important question was not “what color are you?” It was “can you do the job? It was glorious. When I dealt with a co-worker I did not wonder whether they got their position because of the color of their skin. They got it because they could perform.

For Obama and Biden, that was a bug, not a feature. Both were grifters, race-hustlers. If bias faded away, they lost their grift. They began stoking the fires of discrimination and disparagement; dividing us not by the content of our character, but by the color of our skin. I saw it growing during the first years of the Obama Administration. Unprincipled people – especially at government contractors – began using accusations of bias as a means of clotheslining career rivals.

Were you in competition for a position or promotion with one of them? Anonymous complaints would be made against you on the ethics hotline accusing you of racism. It did not matter if the accusation was baseless or distorted. The accused went through an inquisition. Even if you knew who was doing it, you could not confront the individual. That would be retaliation.

By the middle of the Biden Administration, as far as the government went, race was the marker by which people were assigned jobs. It did not matter how incompetent someone was. What mattered was how they filled the grievance matrix. One only has to look at Biden’s choices for Vice-President and Supreme Court Justices to realize how pervasive – and pernicious – the grievance matrix had become.

Checking multiple boxes on the grievance matrix was also a marvelous shield against consequences. No one dared investigate or accuse those with the right national origin, religion, and skin color of criminality or even incompetence. If you did, the accusations were treated a proof of systemic racism against the accused. Instead, in the new race-based justice system the accuser would be investigated for thought-crime, declared a bigot.

Experts Miss Trump’s Enduring Presence in American Politics in Indiana Races

16th May 2026

The Foundry.

uesday evening’s primary race here in the Hoosier State once again proved that the press, both local and national, still does not understand the impact that President Donald Trump has on the electorate. Nor do they understand his enduring appeal, as Indiana Republican voters unequivocally sided with the challengers over those who voted down congressional redistricting last year.

So far, the results from Tuesday’s primaries saw incumbent Republican state Sens. Travis Holdman of Markle, Jim Buck of Kokomo, Linda Rogers of Granger, Dan Dernulc of Highland, and Greg Walker all go down, and go down big. According to early Associated Press tallies, their challengers received a whopping 60% of the vote.

Incumbent state Sen. Spencer Deery of West Lafayette was in the lead by a mere three votes after voting concluded, leaving the race too close to call.

West Lafayette is the home of Purdue University and, like all college towns, is heavily Democrat.

Man Threatened to ‘Behead Jews’ in East London

Police are searching for a man who said “Jews gonna get beheaded” in east London.

Officers were sent to Whitechapel Road in Tower Hamlets after an online video showed the suspect making threats and slurs on Friday, the Met said.

The Jewish community police force, Shomrim (London North & East), described the footage as a “horrific video circulating on social media showing a gentleman threatening to behead Jews and much more”.

Shomrim posted online that it was “aware of the fact that the Orthodox Jewish community is exceptionally concerned about these threats”.

German court allows pro-Palestinian encampment in Hamburg park where Jews were deported by the Nazis

15th May 2026

Jewish Telegraph Agency.

Activists in Hamburg are commemorating the displacement of Palestinians this week in a park where Jews were deported during World War II, following a legal fight that ended in their favor.

A German court allowed the “Bridges of Resistance” encampment to be set up from May 9 until Saturday in Moorweide, a public park where, according to the Hamburg Memorials Foundation, the Nazis rounded up more than 1,000 local Jews for deportation to the ?ód? ghetto in October 1941.

The encampment will culminate on Saturday with a march from the park to Hamburg’s port, the organizers announced. The demonstration will be part of nationwide protests marking 78 years since the Nakba, the Arabic word for “catastrophe” used by Palestinians to describe their flight and expulsion from their homes when Israel was established in 1948.

Trump’s Border Czar Has a Smart Surprise for Sanctuary Cities Trying to Hide Criminals

15th May 2026

Read it.

First of all, you know, good luck with the law of banning masks. Federal law always trumps state and local law. And while threats are up over 8,000%, masks is a non-starter, so good luck enforcing that.

Second thing is, you talk about New York. You know, I met with Governor Hochul a couple months ago, and I told her about what happened in Minnesota, that, you know, we were able to draw some resources out of Minnesota because the local jails cooperated with us.

And I told her the same thing, because I knew this legislation was coming. I said, Look, you end cooperation in the jails, we’re going to have to send more agents to do the job, because now rather than one agent arresting one bad guy in the jail, which is safer for the agent, safer for the alien, safer for the community, of course, you’re going to release him. Now we got to send a whole team, six or seven agents, to go find him. So it’s going to re- it’s going to result more agents in the community.

Totally briefed on the whole thing, but she decided to go ahead and do it anyways. Well, I made a statement that we’re going to send more agents to New York. We have to as a response to this to go arrest those public safety threats.

I also told her there’s going to be two things you [she] may not like.

Number one, in addition to more agents in your communities, that’s going to mean, one, that when we find the bad guy, and we usually do, they may be with others, that weren’t a criminal target, but they’re in the country illegally. Well, guess what? We’re going to arrest them, too. We’re not going to turn a blind eye to illegal immigration, which means there’ll be more collateral arrests because of your decision to force us in the community.

And, second of all, part of her legislation prevents ICE from leasing beds, from sheriffs across the state, which we use a lot of those beds.

UK Horror: Teen Stabbing Victim Dies After Police Arrest Him Rather Than Sikh Attacker

15th May 2026

Read it.

A teenage stabbing victim bled to death on the street in Southampton after British police arrested and cuffed him rather than his alleged Sikh attacker, after the suspect claimed he’d been racially abused, according to court testimony.

Henry Nowak, 18, a finance student at the University of Southampton, was walking home from a night out in December 2025, chatting with some friends on Snapchat, when he was encountered by Vickrum Digwa, 23. After a brief exchange, Digwa stabbed Nowak with an eight-inch Sikh ceremonial shastar blade, according to court testimony reported by BBC. A post-mortem examination showed Nowak had four stab wounds, BBC reported.

Nowak tried to escape over a fence, but was “aggressively pursued” by Digwa, jurors were told.

However, when Hampshire Constabulary police officers arrived at the scene, they arrested the dying Nowak rather than Digwa after the suspect claimed he’d been “racially abused and attacked by a drunken man,” prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg KC said, ITV News reported.

Nowak was handcuffed and police administered first aid before he fell unconscious, according to Lobbenberg. He died a short time later at the scene. “Put simply,” the prosecutor told jurors, “Henry drowned in his own blood, with his lung having been cut by the knife going eight centimeters into him.”

Lobbenberg acknowledged that Sikh males are allowed to carry a knife as part of their religious obligation. Digwa did have a small ceremonial knife called a kirpan in his possession. However, the knife used to stab Nowak was an “extremely large knife” openly displayed over Digwa’s clothing, ITV News reported.

Nicholas Kristof and the Pornography of Accusation

15th May 2026

Quillette.

Nicholas Kristof’s recent New York Times essay “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” displays a corruption in the moral language used to denounce Israel. Ostensibly a report on sexual abuse in detention, its actual function is to turn Israel into an object of revulsion: a state reimagined as an agent of rape, humiliation, bodily degradation, and bestial violation. Abuse in prisons and wartime detention obviously ought to be investigated, thoroughly and without prejudice. No state, including Israel, deserves exemption from scrutiny. But Kristof’s column—printed in the opinion section rather than the news section of America’s paper of record—is not content to ask for scrutiny. It gathers anonymous and politically mediated claims and arranges them into a grotesque moral tableau. The obscene result demonstrates how sexual accusation can become a political cudgel.

AI Is Wiping Out Entry-Level Jobs. Here’s How Colleges Can Fill the Gap.

15th May 2026

Fortune, a Voice of the Crust.

Traditionally, the transition from classroom to career followed a familiar path: land an entry-level job, learn more through hands-on experience and continue building from there. That first job wasn’t just employment; it was valuable career training. Entry-level employment was how new workers developed judgment and the ability to translate theory into practice. But across a growing number of industries, that important first rung of the career ladder is now disappearing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly automating many of the tasks that once defined entry-level roles, contributing to a decline in demand for some positions while reshaping the responsibilities and skill sets required for others. In the process, the traditional bridge between education and employment is beginning to erode. In fact, 66% of hiring managers say most recent hires are not fully prepared for their roles, mainly due to a lack of experience.

But even before AI, other opportunities that historically played a vital role in connecting education and employment were disappearing. In 2023, nearly 4.6 million students who wanted internships could not secure one. Yet 87% of employed graduates say internships helped them land their job, while more than half of those without an internship believe it hurt their job prospects, according to our Cengage’s Graduate Employability Report.

Britain Is Now Policing Thought Crime

15th May 2026

Read it.

If you want a snapshot of how far Britain has drifted from its liberal inheritance, consider the spectacle of a 78 year-old grandfather and retired pastor being warned by police that he must not preach from the Bible within a public area. His offence was not harassment, obstruction or intimidation. It was reciting and commentating on a verse many learned as children: “For God so loved the world…”

Clive Johnston’s alleged crime was breaching a ‘buffer zone’ around a hospital which houses a sexual health clinic where abortions are performed – despite the fact it was a Sunday afternoon when there were no scheduled abortions, and he made no reference whatsoever to abortion, nor motherhood, nor babies.

The state maintains he risked “influencing” anyone accessing the clinic in relation to abortion or anyone working there – a crime punishable by fine. He was prosecuted, and this week found guilty for doing so.

Appearing on MSNBC to talk to Lawfare ally Nicole Wallace, wife of New York Times narrative engineer Michael Schmidt – the guy who received leaks from FBI Director James Comey via Daniel Richman, former CIA Director John Brennan notes there are “legions” of operatives still embedded within the DOJ, FBI and CIA who are working against President Donald Trump.

This is not a surprise as we have noted the Trump administration continues to take apart the tentacles of Lawfare and Intelligence operatives in Main Justice, various U.S. Attorney offices, FBI Headquarters, FBI field offices and various Intelligence Community silos.

Marco Rubio has been working to clean up the National Security Council as well as the State Department operations, including USAID. Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe have been working on the NSA and CIA collaboratively, and Todd Blanche has been working through the Dept of Justice. FBI Director Kash Patel has removed about ten percent of the problem in his agency.

‘DOUBLE STANDARD:’ NY Ethics Committee Declines to Investigate Democrat

14th May 2026

Read it.

A watchdog group is appealing after the New York Supreme Court declined to launch an ethics investigation into Gov. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., after Sherrill falsely accused her political opponent of mass killing and launched a campaign to oppose immigration enforcement.

“The New York Attorney Grievance Committee declined to investigate Mikie Sherrill, stating reasons that cut against the most basic of legal principles governing license discipline cases,” James Fitzpatrick, director of the Center to Advance Security in America, told The Daily Signal.

He noted that the grievance committee “has not given the same treatment to Republicans.” The committee investigated former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 2021 for alleged false statements after the 2020 presidential election. A New York appeals court disbarred Giuliani in 2024.

“This is seemingly a double standard at issue here: in order to move forward with a complaint against Mikie Sherrill the committee is requiring a conviction, but in the case of Mayor Giuliani, this convenient prerequisite was nowhere to be found,” Fitzpatrick added.

I’m curious as to why the Governor of New Jersey is any business of the New York Supreme Court.  Perhaps it’s a bar-membership issue.

Virginia Prosecutor: ‘Sorry,’ but Immigration Law ‘Not Our Job’

A controversial Virginia prosecutor apologized to the mother of a daughter slain by an illegal immigrant but still defended his county’s sanctuary policy during a contentious House hearing Thursday.

“I am deeply sorry for your loss, I say that not only as a prosecutor but as a parent of a daughter,” Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano said to Cheryl Minter, mother of Stephanie Minter, during a hearing of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement.

“I’m sorry for what you are having to endure and I promise that my office is doing everything we can to prosecute the man responsible,” Descano added.

Fairfax County law enforcement refused to honor an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer for Abdul Jalloh, who was released and allegedly killed Stephanie Minter at a local bus stop in February.
