Rep. Laurel Libby called out Maine Democrats for violating Trump's EO by allowing boys in female sports.

Maine's Speaker of the House, Ryan Fecteau, deleted his X account following his role in the censuring of Republican state Rep. Laurel Libby for a Facebook post calling attention to state Democrats violating an executive order from President Donald Trump to keep males out of girls and women's sports.

As reported by The Daily Wire, Libby earlier this month posted public images of a transgender-identifying high school boy taking first place in girls' pole vaulting at Maine's Class B state championship — a win that helped the high school take first place overall.

Democrats on Tuesday moved to censure Libby because the post included an image of "a high school athlete, a minor," and repeatedly interrupted the state representative when she tried to defend herself and highlight the harm of allowing males in female sports.

Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine prescriptions "soared far above" levels before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study.

Researchers from the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) and other institutions said that nearly 3 million ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine prescriptions were issued during the pandemic, totaling some $272 million, according to a news release issued on Feb. 20.

The dispensing of ivermectin "from US pharmacies was nearly 1,000 percent higher than prepandemic rates," the study said.

Usage of the two drugs was three times higher in people aged 65 and older, compared with people aged 18 to 64, according to the study published in the Health Affairs journal. Patients aged 65 and older represented 25 percent of adults in the study but constituted more than 59 percent of COVID-19-linked ivermectin usage and 68 percent of COVID-19-related hydroxychloroquine use, it found.

Comment: That's the power of propaganda coupled with threats to any doctor/pharmacy who dared to recommend a cheap, vastly more effective alternative. Re Pfizer's "miracle" Paxlovid:

The co-chair and namesake of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), Sahra Wagenknecht, is considering challenging the results of elections in Germany after her party fell barely short of entering parliament on Sunday.

The left-wing conservative BSW scored 4.97% after exit polls repeatedly hovered at around 5% in a tense night for the party. Like all other parties in German federal elections, the BSW would have needed to clear the 5% threshold to enter the Bundestag.

Speaking to reporters in Berlin, Wagenknecht said on Monday she would dispute the final results and voting process — in court, if necessary.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday that The Roosevelt Hotel's Asylum Arrival Center and Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center is in the process of closing down.

The use of the hotel has been embroiled in controversy after Elon Musk revealed that $59 million was sent in early February by deep state activists within FEMA to house illegal aliens in luxury New York hotels, including The Roosevelt.

The Washington Examiner's Anna Giaritelli reported that four employees were terminated by the DHS.

"Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants," DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin wrote to Giaritelli.

Comment: Mayor Eric Adams: Nearly half of NYC hotel rooms now filled with migrants

Adams sat down with Tucker Carlson recently to discuss NYC, migrants and his legal troubles, stating that they stemmed from his attempts to buck the system dropping thousands of migrants into his city.

Consequence of Democratic policies: "Almost half" of Seattle's homeless population is not from Seattle

A new study from the Discovery Institute's Fix Homelessness reveals the devastating consequences of Seattle's failed policies, which have not only failed to address homelessness but have actively worsened the crisis, according to 770 KTTH.

Driven by progressive ideology rather than practical solutions, city leaders have fostered a system that attracts homeless individuals from outside the region while keeping them trapped in cycles of addiction, crime, and dependency.

Rather than tackling the root causes, these policies have invited more homelessness, turning the issue into a manufactured disaster rather than a problem to be solved.

The study reveals that nearly half of the city's homeless population became homeless outside of Seattle or King County, drawn in by the city's permissive policies — free tents, open-air drug use, and a refusal to enforce encampment laws. An overwhelming 86.6% were born elsewhere, and 80.2% didn't even attend high school in the area.

Comment: Why do Seattle residents keep voting woke loons into council?

US and Mexico agree to military collaboration on patrols, communication for border security

Military commanders from the U.S. and Mexico have agreed to conduct coordinated patrols, share more information and establish channels for instant communication as part of increased border security each country has put in place in the past month.

Defense Department Chief of Staff Joseph Kasper said Wednesday:
"Both leaders expect their agreement will serve to enable further conversations and coordination in greater detail at varied levels to ensure the mutual security of the border."
The changes stemmed from a recently held meeting between Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot, commander of U.S. Northern Command, and Gen. Ricardo Trevilla Trejo, secretary of national defense for Mexico.

The coordinated patrols will occur with each country's troops remaining on their respective sides of the Rio Grande, the river that divides the U.S. and Mexico, Kasper said.

Guillot last week told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Pentagon had recently approved sharing more of the information that it has about the distribution and production of the synthetic drug fentanyl, which has caused a spike in U.S. overdose deaths in recent years.
"We have a better foundation now that we have increased the intelligence to make rapid progress against this threat. However, NORTHCOM could use more intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to better combat the drug crossing the border as well as expanded authorities to allow for more advise and assist operations between U.S. and Mexican forces."

© NewsNationThe tech expert — who goes by “DataRepublican” on X — has received threats since Elon Musk started highlighting her work.
A data scientist with ties to DOGE chief Elon Musk declared Monday that she believes "over $100 billion" in taxpayer money is being wasted or stolen by federal employees at government agencies.

The tech expert is using artificial intelligence to expose cases of government waste, fraud and abuse and goes by "DataRepublican" on X, where her posts are regularly shared by the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder.

"Whew," the woman, who is deaf, said through an interpreter when asked by NewsNation's Brian Entin about how much federal cash she believes is being wasted or stolen based on her efforts poring over public databases.

"If I had to guess, I would say it is over $100 billion," she said. "But what is more important is what they are doing with that money."

Comment: The full interview, provided by Shawn Hendrix, who has taken the lead in providing @DataRepublican with personal security.

USAID and How the U.S. Government Controls Ukrainian Media

USAID in Ukraine
USAID funded the vast majority of 'independent' media in Ukraine. What American taxpayers don't realize is that their money went to suppressing the truth.

The camera was rolling when chaos erupted. It was January 21, 2024, and an independent Ukrainian journalist named Ostap Stakhiv was livestreaming a call with Vasyl Pleskach, a man claiming he was being illegally detained by Ukraine's infamous military conscription unit, the TCC. The agency has been accused of kidnapping men from the street and forcing them to the front lines. Those who resist have sometimes been tortured — and in several well-documented cases — killed.

In the middle of the interview, Stakhiv called the police to see if they would free Pleskach from the clutches of the TCC. Just then, with the police still on the line, a burly figure entered Vasyl's frame, walked over to Pleskach, and struck him hard in the face. His phone tumbled to the ground, landing sideways, but still recording."They're beating him right now," Stakhiv told the police, as Vasyl's picture went haywire. "People are watching it live. They're beating him as we speak. Go to my YouTube channel and see it for yourself." Off-screen, Pleskach's screams were audible for another minute before the line was disconnected.

Comment: Even though the article still paints it with a Western bias about Russian aggression and freedom of the Press being better in Ukraine, the content by and large tells another story. Western money keeps the Ukrainian propaganda press working and dissenting voices get silenced.

'Meddling Brussels bureaucrats!'

The European Union has declared coffee "harmful to humans" in a new regulation that bans the use of caffeine as a pesticide.

Brussels officials cited scientific evidence claiming caffeine is harmful when swallowed, in a report supporting the ban on using the substance to kill snails and slugs in vegetable patches.

The controversial ruling has sparked concerns that EU regulations could eventually target coffee consumption, a cornerstone of European daily life.

The EU report highlighted multiple health concerns associated with caffeine consumption.

Gardai clashed with rioters in Dublin after several people were injured in a stabbing outside a school in the Irish capital in November 2023
Ireland has exploded into a wave of violence with anti-migrant anger at an all time high - after the number of people applying to come into the country rocketed by nearly 300 per cent in five years.

Shocking new videos show Dublin descending into chaos - with fighting thugs throwing themselves into busses, knife fights on their streets and mass brawls sparking in residential roads.

In others, men patrol the capital to keep the city 'safe' while police can be seen using riot shields and pepper spray as they crack down on protests.
