New York City Mayor Eric Adams agreed with former NYPD commissioner William Bratton that progressive politics played a role in the increase of crime in American cities on ABC's This Week Sunday.

"The scales right now are tipped very heavily in favor of the reforms of the progressive left. Well intended, some needed, but a bit too far, and what we have as a result is this growing fear of crime, this growing actual amount of crime in almost every American city," Bratton said during an appearance on the Bloomberg Businessweek podcast Thursday.

Adams said that he believed Bratton was "right."

"Major mistakes made throughout the years that destroyed the trust that the police commissioner is talking about - we have to rebuild that trust," Adams said. "But we can't rebuild that trust by allowing those who are dangerous and that have - they have a repeated history of violence to continue to be on our streets."

Comment: Adams is coming around, but he's in for a rough road, should he try to put his views into practice.

Alex Jones' Infowars files for bankruptcy protection

Alex Jones
Infowars has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the website's founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones faces defamation lawsuits over his comments that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

The bankruptcy filing Sunday in Texas puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances. The filing came a week before a jury in Texas was set to begin considering how much money Jones, who has already lost the defamation lawsuits, should pay the families of Sandy Hook victims.

In its court filing, Infowars said it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut.

The real Secret Service scandal

Agents should be required to regularly take polygraph tests

The two men recently charged with impersonating federal officers while plying Secret Service agents and officers with gifts so far appear to be wannabes who sought to enhance their own importance by ingratiating themselves with law enforcement.

According to federal prosecutors, Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali posed as Homeland Security agents and offered Secret Service personnel gifts that included iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a flat-screen television, a generator, law enforcement paraphernalia and free rental apartments worth $40,000 a year.

The bizarre episode spotlights the potential danger to the president and other protectees if a terrorist organization or a foreign intelligence service were behind such a scheme. By buying off Secret Service personnel, perpetrators could gain access to the president to assassinate him, obtain highly classified information or install bugging devices in the Oval Office.

Comment: There is an appropriate place for a body like the Secret Service, but given the proximity its agents have to those in power, it is particularly ripe for corruption. Kessler's recommendations for increased oversight would help improve matters.

Putin pressures Israeli to hand over Alexander Nevsky Church to Russia

The demand by Moscow comes at a time when the government in Tel Aviv has been hoping to play both sides amid the Ukraine crisis.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett urging him to hand over the Alexander Nevsky Church in the Old City of Jerusalem, according to reports in Israeli media.

The church, also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, is a major asset of the Russian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, located in the heart of the Christian Quarter.

In 2019, former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised Putin the Alexander Nevsky Church in exchange for the release of an Israeli citizen who had been arrested in Moscow for alleged drug smuggling.

Netanyahu later announced that the disputed ownership of the Christian landmark could not be resolved in a court of law, and soon after Israel's land registry commissioner registered the Russian government as the owner of Alexander's Courtyard.

However, after Bennett took office in Tel Aviv, the ruling by the land registry commissioner was handed back to the Supreme Court, which placed the final recognition on hold.

Liberal gender ideologies imposed on children could warp Western civilization for generations

Leftists are pushing to promote queerness to minors in schools, projecting adult insecurities and undermining traditional values

Left-wing pedagogical efforts to introduce gender ideology into the classroom have by and large slipped under the notice of parents, who are only now becoming aware of its impact on children. Some call it 'ideological capture', others call it 'grooming'.

Kids are being exposed to drag shows, Pride parades organized by local school boards, transgenderism, and LGBT-based curricula. Children are instructed to question their gender and sexuality. It's all being done for the sake of affirming the choices of adults who often struggle with their own identities.

Dogged investigations by the Manhattan Institute's Christopher Rufo and Irreversible Damage author Abigail Shrier have done much to bring the issue into the limelight. Tireless work by social media researcher Libs of TikTok chronicle an endless litany of self-published videos by professed kindergarten and grade schoolteachers who ramble on about "educating" the kids under their care with transgenderism and gender theory.

Jack Dorsey rips Twitter board as 'dysfunctional' in Elon Musk battle

jack dorsey twitter
Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter
Twitter's founder and former top boss Jack Dorsey slammed the company's board of directors on Sunday - even as the embattled executives are locked in a dispute over whether to accept billionaire Elon Musk's $43 billion offer to buy the social media platform.

Dorsey criticized the board in response to a post in which a user quipped that the company's "early beginning" was "mired in plots and coups" among its founding executives.

"It's consistently been the dysfunction of the company," Dorsey said.

Later, when asked by another user if he was "allowed to say this" about Twitter's board, Dorsey replied "no."

Comment: More signs that the Musk-Twitter drama is more than just a hostile takeover.The board is willing to commit a fiduciary breach of trust to fend off Musk. What's in the company's files they don't want coming to light? The algorithm? Blacklists? Nefarious illegal contacts? NSA directives? The imagination runs wild.


Musk is astute enough to know the rank-and-file users of the platform are disgruntled with the way it is currently run. There are potential allies there. If he is able to gather enough small shareholders to constitute a clear majority holding, and STILL isn't allowed to take the company over, the mask will be off the controllers in the clearest possible way. And why not get a little trolling in, while he's at it?


From The Street:
Friday's announced poison pill puts Elon Musk's $43B hostile takeover on hold for now, and in our view, raises the stock's risk profile significantly as we are skeptical of sudden speculated interest from white knight(s), and value accretion at a higher bid," said Benchmark analyst Mark Zgutowicz.

"From our vantage point, Twitter's board may have just looked a gift horse in the mouth and if not careful, may repeat Yahoo's historic shareholder fail, passing on Microsoft's $45 billion 2008 bid to settle for Verizon's $5 billion eight years later," he added

Twitter shares were marked 3.4% higher in early Monday trading to change hands at $46.62 each.

Musk hinted late Saturday, in a typically cryptic Twitter message, that he may take his $54.20 per share offer directly to shareholders, but had also indicated during a TED talk in Vancouver last week that "I'm not sure that I will actually be able to acquire it."

Musk has also, in effect, gone directly to shareholders via his Twitter account in terms of messaging, posting a weekend poll that ask if his $43 billion takeover approach should be decided by those who own Twitter stock, and not those who sit on the board (whom, he noted, own very little Twitter stock).

Bill Maher blasts vaccinated people still wearing masks

bill maher
Talk show host Bill Maher unloaded his rhetorical wit on extra-cautious mask-wearers on in his new comedy special on HBO Max called "Adulting" by asking them if they really need to wear masks — even after having been vaccinated.

"Do you keep the condom on after you f*ck?" Maher asked.


Comment: When Maher isn't being a lefty idiot, he's actually quite on point.

Michigan bomb plot: FBI scheme to create false 'domestic terror' cabal exposed in court

Jury throws out government's case — finds FBI agents fabricated a kidnapping threat against Michigan governor so they could pretend to be heroes by foiling a "crime" of their own creation. FBI director's use of entrapment is part of a strategy designed to sow public fear and render support for draconian anti-terrorist legislation.

For 95 years — from J Edgar Hoover to Christopher Wray — the FBI has lied, cheated, threatened, and even murdered Americans. Is it beyond reform?

Should we replace it with a national police force that protects instead of persecutes those it is supposed to serve?

The Michigan bombing case is just the latest, but it is surely not the first example, of the FBI overstepping legal and ethical boundaries to burnish its public image by creating Bad Guys to scare the public and blackmail Congress into passing ever larger budgets to fight domestic terrorism.

Mexican cartels fly 9,000 drone flights into US to surveil law enforcement operations

mexican cartels drones
Mexican drug cartels have conducted more than 9,000 drone flights into U.S. airspace in the last year to surveil American law enforcement and security operations in the southern border region, a senior Homeland Security official told Judicial Watch this week. The drones are observing federal, state, county, and city agencies near the Mexican border, including the U.S. Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas National Guard, county sheriffs and local police.

The Border Patrol, which operates under Customs and Border Protection (CBP), has captured about a dozen of the drones, and accessed the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' (UAVs) guidance and memory systems to gain intelligence information, according to a high-level official at the agency.

Judicial Watch learned about the Mexican cartel drone incursions during a recent visit to the southern border and specifically while interviewing federal officials at the CBP Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas.

Mercola: Dismantling the transhumanist agenda

altered dna

The notion of transhumanism is being actively researched and explored, while on some level it's already here. Many people regard transhumanism as turning human beings into robots, but it actually describes a social and philosophical movement that involves the development of human-enhancement technologies.1

In episode 26 of Children's Health Defense (CHD) Tea Time, I spoke with Polly Tommey, director of programming for CHD-TV, and colleagues about the transhumanist agenda and how its ultimate goal is to control the human population. The process has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and over the last two years, the global cabal has succeeded in influencing behavior, primarily through fear and the creation of narratives.


Comment: View the Tea Time episode here.


Most people don't appreciate that they're being surveilled 24/7, and most of the surveillance you are allowing into your life, as you give up your privacy and consent to surveillance in exchange for convenience. Google is a primary culprit and the most egregious offender, and they have major control and influence since, worldwide, 93% of the searches done online use Google.2 It's the biggest monopoly in the history of the world.

Comment: The important take-home point here is that we don't have to wait for implantable microchips or uploading of our consciousness to the cloud to see the Transhumanist reality take hold. Transhumanism is already here, and we're all embedded in it. While it may not be possible to decouple ourselves entirely from the system, being aware of the agenda and taking steps to minimize one's reliance on it can go a long way toward avoiding losing one's humanity to the Borg collective.
