  2. so Southern Poverty Law Center was PAYING leaders of the KKK to STAGE hate crimes…an NGO getting gov’t $$ and they made it all up.

    Nick Sortor:

    HOLY CRAP! FBI Director Patel says leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center, which has now been indicted, was using donor to pay leaders of the KU KLUX KLAN to stage “HATE CRIMES”

    “They used the FRAUDULENTLY raised money by lying to their donor network—THOUSANDS of Americans—to go ahead and actually PAY the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups.

    “Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center—on TOP of perpetuating this widespread decade-long multimillion dollar fraud—conducted more criminal activity.

    They attempted to HIDE their criminal activity from our financial banking network.

    They set up shell companies and entities around America so that the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans were DECEIVED in believing that money was NOT coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities they stood up to perpetuate this ongoing fraud.”

    “President Barack Obama, there is now incontrovertible evidence that he was the spearhead of a seditious conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people and overthrow the United States government back in 2016.”

    “We must, absolutely must, hold every one of these criminals accountable for the crimes that they committed.”

    “James Comey, John Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Biden was in the meeting on July 28th in the Oval Office.”

    “They briefed Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton’s plan to ‘tie Trump to Russia’ collusion lies. It consumed our national discourse for 5 years.”

    “It undermined a sitting, duly elected president. It sabotaged administration. It framed a 3-star general.”

    “It destroyed and ripped this country apart. We had a constitutional crisis, the likes of which I don’t think any American can fully comprehend!”

    “It is atrocious, and every single one of them MUST be held accountable.”

  11. Nebraska halts in state tuition funding and scholarships for illegals.

    FTA

    Under an agreement reached with the federal government on Tuesday, Nebraska will stop providing in-state tuition and scholarship programs for illegal immigrants.

    The state and the Justice Department (DOJ) filed a proposed consent decree in district court, asking a judge to approve the agreement.

    “For two decades, the Nebraska legislature gave preferential treatment to illegal aliens over American citizens,” said Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward in a statement. “We encourage all states to follow the common-sense correction of Attorney General [Mike] Hilgers, ceasing any policy that rewards illegal entry into our nation with educational opportunities not available to U.S. citizens.”

    “Welcome to the Quantum Financial System (QFS) which is the revolutionary leap forward into global financial infrastructure. Designed to replace outdated and vulnerable banking systems, QFS integrates quantum computing technology to deliver unparalleled security, transparency, and efficiency in financial transactions.

    One of the standout features of QFS is its advanced security framework. Utilizing quantum encryption, the system virtually eliminates the risk of hacking, fraud, and manipulation, ensuring that every transaction is immutable and decentralised. This has the potential to restore trust in financial dealings on a global scale.

    Another major advantage is its speed and operational efficiency. Traditional banking systems, burdened by legacy processes and intermediaries, often cause delays and unnecessary costs. QFS streamlines transactions to near-instantaneous processing times, significantly reducing overhead and improving user experience globally.

    Quantum Financial System

    Moreover, QFS is often described as a tool for financial inclusion. By removing centralized control and enabling direct transactions between parties, it opens up opportunities for individuals and communities historically marginalized by traditional banking institutions.

    In conclusion, the Quantum Financial System offers a glimpse into a future where finance is safer, faster, and fairer. Its full potential will depend largely on how effectively it can be adopted, regulated, and embraced by both institutions and individuals worldwide.

    The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is a groundbreaking innovation designed to transform the global financial landscape. Powered by advanced quantum technology, QFS offers unmatched security, instant transactions, and total transparency — creating a trusted financial environment for individuals, businesses, and nations alike. Our mission is simple: to build a financial system that is secure, fair, and accessible to everyone. Explore the future today with QFS — where technology meets trust.”

  15. VA is fucked!!!

    Just The News: “Virginia voters on Tuesday approved a redistricting referendum that will allow the state legislature to redraw its congressional maps outside the normal cycle in a manner expected to favor Democrats.

    The Associated Press called the contest in favor of the yes campaign just before 9:00 p.m., with 84% of precincts reporting. As of press time, “yes” stood at just over 50% of the vote.

    The state currently has six Democratic members of Congress and five Republicans. The planned Democratic map is expected to produce 10 Democratic-leaning seats and one Republican-leaning seat.”

  16. This is NOT good!!!!

    EXCERPT: “As he gears up for bruising midterm elections, President Trump is baffling supporters by bringing back a member of his original public health apparatus, whose nine-month COVID-19 vaccine development initiative paved the way for the Biden administration’s heavy-handed COVID mandates and jawboning of Big Tech to clamp down on true claims.

    Former Deputy Surgeon General Erica Schwartz’s nomination for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director is part of a broader revanchism of vaccine orthodoxy against the vaccine heterodoxy of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

    He fired Trump’s first Senate-confirmed CDC director, Susan Monarez, less than a month into her tenure last summer for allegedly admitting she was “untrustworthy.” Monarez struggled to give straight answers on the harm-benefit profile of COVID vaccines, why every child on day one needs the full U.S. vaccine schedule and even her lawyers at a subsequent Senate hearing.

    Schwartz is “normal and not an anti-vaccine lunatic,” infectious diseases researcher Neil Stone, a superfan of Trump’s Operation Warp Speed who calls himself “officially the 1st person to use [the] word Covid,” wrote of Schwartz on X. “Meaning she won’t last long under RFK Jr.”

    Trump’s first surgeon general, Jerome Adams, who alternately told the public to “STOP BUYING MASKS” because they don’t stop the spread, then to wear masks “as a social cue,” said he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the nomination. He “personally selected” Schwartz as his deputy and called her a “battle-tested leader with decades of distinguished public service. […] If allowed to follow the science without political interference, she’ll excel.”

    She would “likely be a disaster,” said vaccine injury lawyer Aaron Siri, recently touted by Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chair Ron Johnson, R-Wis., for Siri’s public records litigation to obtain early CDC surveys on COVID vaccine side effects. “This agency does not need another cheerleader for industry; it needs a regulator over industry.” Siri called Schwartz “The Queen of Mandating Vaccines” in a heavily sourced essay. 

    “Her prior promotion, let alone mandates, of nearly a dozen different vaccines leave little hope she will objectively oversee CDC’s vaccine program,” which ballooned from three to 29 jabs, “including in utero, by an infant’s first birthday” since 1986, he wrote…..”

  17. EXCERPT: “Democrats and their well-heeled funders have won their rigged referendum to rig Virginia’s congressional maps, but the political boundary battle isn’t over yet. Now come the court challenges, and that’s where the redistricting revisionists could lose their big win thanks to their unabashed manipulation of Virginia law. 

    “It’s illegal actually for a number of reasons,” Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, told me last week, a few days before Tuesday’s election, on The Dan O’Donnell Show in Milwaukee. 

    Snead asserts that Virginia Democrats, who hold the commonwealth’s political trifecta, have steamrolled the process while abandoning their plastic principles. His election watchdog organization is involved in one of several lawsuits challenging the maps and the referendum that gave Democrats the shaky imprimatur to implement them. 

    Hypocrisy on the Ballot

    Following a lengthy early-balloting period, Virginia voters on Tuesday approved the most expensive ballot issue in the commonwealth’s history.  The fairly narrow “yes” victory changes the Virginia constitution, nixing a previous amendment that established an independent commission charged with drawing the 10-year political maps. The change gives the Democrat-controlled legislature the authority to put in place its drunkenly partisan congressional maps redrawn mid-decade to grab more House seats in November’s midterms. 

    If the rewrite stands, Virginia Democrats could add four House seats for a 10-1 advantage in the state’s congressional delegation. The revised maps would also give national Dems an easier path to taking back control of the House of Representatives.  

    Just six years after liberals declared the amendment creating the redistricting commission a “bipartisan win for redistricting reform,” the Democratic Party sought to blow it up. At least “temporarily.” 

    Yes, the maps represent one of the most grotesque gerrymandering jobs in history, defying the left’s sanctimonious position on map manipulation for political power. But new far-left Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who identifies as a moderate in the way Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride identifies as a woman, blames the left’s devil for driving Democrats’ change of heart…..”

  22. “The Rise of Autism Becomes Clearer: And the reason should stun everyone”

    Dr. Robert W. Malone, Apr 22, 2026

    EXCERPT: “Every so often, a paper comes along that does more than add another data point. It forces you to reconsider the assumptions sitting quietly underneath modern medical practice. This newly published study in Molecular Psychiatry is one of those papers.

    This large U.S. study of over 6 million pregnancies found that commonly prescribed medications that interfere with cholesterol synthesis during pregnancy were associated with a roughly 47 percent increased risk of autism in offspring.

    • Roughly 11 percent of pregnant women were prescribed at least one of these drugs found to be linked to Autism.
    • Autism was diagnosed in 3.8 percent of children overall
    • That rate rose to about 5 percent in exposed pregnancies
    • Use of these medications increased from 4.6 percent of pregnancies in 2014 to 16.8 percent in 2023

    And importantly, this is not a niche exposure.

    If you take the findings at face value and run the numbers, the scale becomes harder to ignore. In this dataset of 6.1 million pregnancies, about 11 percent of women were exposed to these drugs, and the autism rate rose from roughly 3.7 percent in unexposed pregnancies to about 5 percent in exposed pregnancies. That difference of about 1.3 percentage points translates into roughly 9,000 to 9,500 additional autism cases within the study cohort alone.

    Because this dataset represents about one third of U.S. births over the same time period, a simple extrapolation suggests on the order of 25,000 to 30,000 additional autism cases nationally over the past decade, or roughly 2,500 to 3,000 per year.

    These drugs have been on the market for much longer, and most have been prescribed during pregnancy for decades. This increase in autism cases in this study only documents the rise seen during the last decade, as these drugs have increased in use.

    The drugs involved are among the most commonly prescribed in medicine:

    • SSRIs: fluoxetine, sertraline
    • Antipsychotics: aripiprazole, haloperidol
    • Beta blockers: metoprolol, propranolol, nebivolol
    • Statins: atorvastatin, simvastatin, rosuvastatin, pravastatin
    • Others: trazodone, bupropion, buspirone

    Roughly 11 percent of pregnant women were prescribed at least one of these drugs.

    Different purposes. Different specialties. Same underlying biochemical effect. They interfere with cholesterol synthesis.

    At first glance, the question seems almost too simple. What happens when pregnant women are prescribed medications that interfere with cholesterol synthesis? It is the kind of question that should have been asked long ago. Instead, it has largely been ignored…..”

  23. 🔵 Rare Blue Auroras Appear Over Arctic Skies

    Auroras are usually green or red. This time… they turned blue. Observers in Norway reported a rare blue aurora, a phenomenon so uncommon that even experienced aurora chasers rarely see it.

    The reason is physics:

    • Green/red auroras = oxygen

    • Blue auroras = ionized nitrogen (N₂⁺)

    The problem? There’s barely any nitrogen ionization up there. So normally, the blue light is too weak to see. But right now, conditions are perfect. A process called resonant scattering is amplifying the signal, using sunlight just below the horizon to boost faint emissions into visible glow. A seasonal glitch in the sky.

    Remix News Staff, April 22, 2026

    20 April 2026, Berlin: ECB President Christine Lagarde speaks at the 75th anniversary reception of the Association of German Banks. Photo: Kay Nietfeld/dpa (Photo by Kay Nietfeld/picture alliance via Getty Images)

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has not just resulted in higher oil prices. It has thrown a wrench in the supply chain of fertilizers and other raw materials, significantly disrupting the production of everything from plastics and food to cars and electronic appliances.

    Companies across the globe are now facing supply shortages, throwing multiple sectors into uncertainty, and the ripple effect could be devastating. However, for the average consumer, as noted recently by the president of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, the price of two things matter most: fuel and food. People have already had to see the price of gasoline at the pump jump, but food may soon be hit, with the price of nitrogen fertilizers more than doubling in some regions right when farmers need them most.

    Experts warn that shutdowns may be imminent, with even deep global famine not being ruled out, even if this more dire scenario still remains remote.

    Speaking at an event hosted by the Association of German Banks, Lagarde noted that “a third of fertilizers are transported through the Strait of Hormuz. If food prices rise significantly, it will lead to an increase in inflation expectations, because we know that people pay particular attention to two things: the price of food, processed and unprocessed, and the price of gas at the petrol stations.”

    Unfortunately, given the extent of damage already incurred, analysts say some shutdowns and food shortages are simply unavoidable even if the war in Iran and the blockade of Hormuz were to end today.”

    “We already have a case that’s in the courts right now,” he said on Just the News, No Noise, prior to the vote tally in which the referendum passed 51.5% to 48.5%.

    Gruters also said the suit is “waiting until after this referendum is over, and then we’ll go right back. And our attorneys are very optimistic about our chances, based on the writing of the way the entire referendum is put out right now.”

    He said the RNC, prior to the referendum vote, also filed suits. “We had to sue to stop them, and we won that case,” Gruters said. “We have another one in Fairfax County. We sued last week in Prince William County in one because [Democrats] are trying to get illegals to vote right now. It makes no sense.”

  39. “A Florida woman narrowly avoided a violent death after buying a second-hand wheelchair at a thrift store that exploded in a huge fireball outside her home. Alexandra Anaya, from Hollywood, heard a clicking sound coming from the electric mobility device on Sunday morning, according to Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety. Fearing something was terribly wrong, Anaya pushed the lithium battery-powered chair she’d bought for a relative out onto the driveway of her home, NBC Miami reported. 

    Shortly before the wheelchair detonated, the woman had been charging it with a non-manufacturer charger, ‘which can overload or overheat a battery.’

    Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety said that Anaya saved ‘her house and her family from catastrophe’ by choosing not to ignore the suspicious clicking sounds that had started coming from the wheelchair.”

    Minn. GOP: Ilhan Omar tied to $250 million fraud

    Minnesota state lawmakers accused Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., of taking part in a scheme that stole more than $250 million in federal funds.

    The allegations surfaced during a fraud oversight hearing Tuesday led by the GOP-controlled Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee.

    Lawmakers pointed to Omar’s role in advancing legislation they said helped enable the Feeding Our Future scheme.

    At issue is the Maintaining Essential Access to Lunch for Students (MEALS) Act, introduced by Omar in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Washington Examiner reported.

    Omar’s bill expanded eligibility for food distributors to participate in a federally funded child nutrition program, allowing nonschool entities to receive reimbursements for meals provided to children when schools were closed.

    “The MEALS Act loosened the guardrails on the federal nutrition program that led to the scandal we now call Feeding Our Future,” said state Rep. Kristin Robbins, the committee’s chair.

    Authorities have described the Feeding Our Future case as the largest pandemic-era fraud in the nation.

    Prosecutors said a network of individuals used shell companies and fraudulent claims to siphon off hundreds of millions of dollars intended to feed low-income children.

    In many cases, officials allege, no meals were ever served.
