HOW POLITICS ACTUALLY WORKS...

-- "Alleged racist Zead Ramadan, 57, with no experience of fund management is in charge of the embattled West Harlem Development Corporation’s $56 million endowment, The Post has learned. Ramadan, 57, managed a cafe in Upper Manhattan and had a business selling sandwiches at coffee stations at Columbia University hospitals before being appointed as executive director of the WHDC in 2020." --

And don't get me started on polling...

-- "A poll claiming incumbent Mayor Karen Bass was leading council member Nithya Raman by a wide margin in the Los Angeles mayoral race was fake, according to Median Strategies, the company behind the survey." --

THE REAL QUESTION IS... WILL 'MR I AM SCIENCE' GET AWAY WITH IT?

-- "'I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.' Fauci went on to give the same response dozens of times as Senators proceeded with their planned questions: 'On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.'” --

It gets better...

-- "In another startling example, Paul asked Fauci whether the CIA had ever funded NIAID — before the chairman revealed later in the hearing that he had obtained documents describing the interagency spending agreement." --

LOOKS LIKE PRESIDENT GRANDAD JUST SUFFERED ANOTHER DEFEAT...

-- "Former President Joe Biden lost his bid Monday to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with his longtime ghostwriter that were used in special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s unlawful hoarding of classified information." --

EXACTLY WHOSE POCKETS DID THAT 200 MILLION DISAPPEAR INTO?

-- "Canada Post spent nearly $194 million on climate programs amid ever-increasing deficits, service cuts and a 46 percent hike in stamp rates, records show: ’It’s a responsibility we embrace.’" --

MEET MAMDANI'S BASE... THE SPOILED SOCIALIST CHILDREN OF MILLIONAIRES...

-- "Recent New York University graduate and card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America Mina Farahmand — who willingly interned for free last year to help get fellow silver-spoon socialist Zohran Mamdani elected mayor – is the daughter of a prominent surgeon and grew up in a palatial six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home on 30 acres in Colville, Wash." --

Just another nepo-baby agitator who signed up for an unpaid internship, then demanded to be paid after the fact. 

Nota bene...

-- "The surname Farahmand (Persian: فرهمند) is an ancient Persian personal name and family name. It translates directly to 'majestic, magnificent,' or 'excellent,' often used to describe someone who possesses great charisma, dignity, or physical beauty." --

SPECIAL RULES FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE...

-- "'It looks like Obama wants to use it as some kind of activism center, something that continues to promote his ideas and his political views. This isn’t a presidential library. It’s a Democratic headquarters on the South Side.'" --

There's a reason it looks like a Nazi-era flak tower...

-- "At least 27 people were shot, five of them fatally, Friday into Saturday evening in gun-controlled Chicago, Illinois." --

And the Bee weighs in.

JUST WAIT UNTIL CHICAGO TAXPAYERS GET THE BILL...

-- "'I can feel the hate swelling in you,' smiled Obama. 'Give in to your anger. With each passing moment, you make yourself more my servant.' 'Sir, I'm literally paid to be your butler,' responded the aide." --

HE'S NOT WRONG...

-- "'To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided. Dealing with this regime will fail, and we will all face the consequences.  The regime's 47-year war against the Iranian people continues." --

This MOU with Iran is more about Trump coveting the Nobel Peace Prize than the welfare of the Iranian people.

THE PRESIDENT WHO SECRETLY MET WITH LOUIS FARRAKHAN...

-- "Obama made the solemn statement as part of a press release in which he bemoaned the lingering racial disharmony that exploded during his presidency. At publishing time, Obama had assured the American people that he would continue to work as hard as he always had at stirring up further racial conflict." --

Farrakhan, Farrakhan... that sounds so familiar.

IN TROUBLED TIMES, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW WHAT THE 'SMART MONEY' IS UP TO...

-- "PayPal co-founder and billionaire investor Peter Thiel has moved his family from the US to Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires as a refuge from high taxes, political turmoil and potential catastrophes like nuclear war and an AI meltdown." --

IT GETS BETTER...

-- "Other members of the global elite, like Thiel buddy Martin Varsavsky, are of the same mind, according to the article. ‘The moment China takes Taiwan or Russia takes Lithuania, I’m in Buenos Aires. It’s good to have a Plan B for civilization.'" --

AND BETTER...

-- "Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is building a massive, highly secure 5,000-square-foot underground bunker as part of a $270+ million compound on the island of Kauai, Hawaii." --

IT'S ONLY (TAXPAYER) MONEY...

-- "The Department of Foreign Affairs spent more than $32 million on an iceberg-themed pavilion at the Osaka World Fair, records show. Expenses included $164,279 for questionnaires and $50,000 on 'creative concept options' even as Prime Minister Mark Carney appealed to Canadians to make sacrifices: 'We won’t play games.'" --

YOUR TAX DOLLARS... THE LIBERAL PARTY'S CORPORATE FRIENDS...

-- "The Snowbirds CT-114 Tutor aircraft which were newly modernized at a cost of $30 million, will go straight from delivery into retirement, the Canadian Forces has confirmed. The Canadian Forces could not say what will happen to the newly delivered modernized planes. In the past, surplus Canadian military aircraft have been scrapped, sold off, or donated to museums." --

THE FOLKS WHO BROUGHT YOU MARTIAL LAW & FROZEN BANK ACCOUNTS...

-- "I don’t see the problem – Carney requires a surveillance state if he is to rule properly. He can’t have dissent or opposition, especially from far right proles. Besides, that’s what millions of Canadians voted for – a Forever Government that keeps them safe." --

PRESIDENT GRANDAD SEEMS TO THINK HE HAS A LEGACY TO PROTECT...

-- "'These tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding Biden’s fitness for office and the fact Biden revealed classified information,' said Howell, president of Heritage's Oversight Project. 'At the last possible second, and after every delay tactic possible, the autopen is objecting to the American People receiving transparency.'" --

HANG ON, 25K??? WHAT AREN'T THE COPS TELLING US?

-- "A $25,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of suspects who broke into a home near Thorah Concession Road 4 and Thorah Side Road in Beaverton, and stole a gun safe, police say." --

 Hang on... 25,000 f@cking dollars... something's not right here...

The most expensive commercially available sniper rifle is frequently cited as the CheyTac M200 Intervention, costing upwards of $13,000.

Not just about guns, it seems...

-- 'The gun safe contained firearms, cash, family heirlooms and a passport." --

Just spitballin' here... but you need a forklift and/or professional grade power tools to move or attack a Class III burglary safe... which is typically lag-bolted into a concrete floor. 

Why does someone like this not have a home burglar alarm?

THOSE DARNED OHIO MEN... MOVE OVER NIGERIAN PRINCES...

-- "Federal Judge Donald Nugent has sentenced Ohio brothers Zubair and Muzzammil Al Zubair, who posed as Middle Eastern royalty in a series of multimillion-dollar fraud schemes to more than twenty years in federal prison." --

SCRATCH A DEMOCRAT... FIND AN UNREPENTANT CHEATER...

-- "After a state election official said the number of dead people found on North Carolina’s voter rolls was 'higher than we anticipated,' Republican Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina called for immediate action to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly known as the SAVE America Act." --

Nota bene... it gets better...

-- "800,000 Dirty Names Cleaned from Oregon Voter Rolls!" --

MOVE OVER JOE ROGAN... TEXAS IS ABOUT TO GET A LITTLE MORE CROWDED...

-- "Some of those public figures who moved their residencies or businesses out of California before the Jan. 1 retroactive tax deadline include Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Steven Spielberg, Uber’s Travis Kalanick and car loan magnate Don Hankey." --

Ask Google's Sergey Brin.

THIS IS HOW IT STARTS...

-- "Opposition parties at Queen’s Park have expressed outrage over the legislation, pointing out that the public only learned about problems — like the Greenbelt scandal, the government accidentally releasing dozens of prisoners and other missteps — through FOI laws." --

FORD GOVERNMENT BACKS OFF ON THE 'GRAVY PLANE'...

-- "'I have to say it reminds me a lot of the premier’s promises during the attempt to carve up the Green Belt, he only backs down and does the right thing when he gets caught,' she added.  'I certainly hope that we don’t sell this plane at a massive loss.'" --
