Illinois NAACP President Apologizes, Then Blames AI Deepfake, After Referring To Immigrants As "Savages"
[ZeroHedge] Ever since the Biden administration began bussing thousands of migrants to Chicago, the city's black community has been less-than enthusiastic about their new neighbors.

In today's episode of the left eating its own - meet Chicago NAACP President Teresa Haley, who took things one step further in a leaked Zoom call from October, in which she likened immigrants to "savages, rapists and burglars."

"But these immigrants come over here, they've been rapin' people. They've been breaking into homes. They're like savages as well. They don't speak the language, and they look at us like we're crazy because we were the only people in America who were brought over here against our will, and were slaves.

"I'm tryin' not to be a ni**a but you know I'm pro-black, so, it's all about us, people. NAACP - what do those letters mean to you?"

"Springfield, Peoria, Bloomington, Kankakee, just get ready if you declared yourself to be a safe haven or a safe place for immigrants to come, because they are shopping around, and the busloads are coming," she said during a different segment of the tape.

"Black people have been on the streets forever and ever, and nobody cares," while the government is rushing to provide housing and other services to immigrants, she said.

Haley's comments drew harsh rebuke from Gov. JB Pritzker.

"Reprehensible remarks, I would hope that she would apologize for the remarks. I also think that people should recognize that immigrants to this country are all around us," he said.

Haley did apologize - but then after she was tracked down on vacation in Dubai by Chicago ABC station WLS-TV, she suggested it was a deepfake, saying "With AI, anything is possible."

Haley's comments sparked the resignation of Patrick Watson, who until recently was the president of the DuPage County branch of the NAACP.

"I think she should absolutely resign. I think she's unfit to be the president, the state president of the NAACP, someone that has that kind of sentiment and that kind of thought against migrant communities," he said.

"Taken out of context"

And of course, the new branch president, Michael Childress, says Haley's comments were 'taken out of context,' adding "These comments are not indicative of what the NAACP stands for. But again, I'm not going to speak on behalf of Teresa Haley and say she should or shouldn't resign or things like that."

50-Year-Old Transgender ‘Woman' Allowed to Compete in Teen Girls Swimming Competition, Use Girls' Changing Room
[Breitbart] A 50-year-old male-born transgender swimmer has caused outrage after being allowed to compete in a teen girls’ swimming competition in Canada and was even allowed to undress in the girls’ changing room.

Outraged parents are blasting the Canadian swimming organization for allowing Melody Wiseheart to compete in the Trojan Cup in Barrie, Ontario, on Dec. 1-3.

Wiseheart, who competed at the East Bayfield Community Centre, is a professor at York University and has caused blowback before for competing against young girls.

But this month, parents are speaking out. One parent told the media that the girls were “terrified” when this 50-year-old man strolled into the locker room and began undressing in front of them.

The Mail added that parents organized to hold up a screen of towels to shield the girls from undressing in front of Wiseheart.

Despite the discomfiture of the parents, Wiseheart’s participation was sanctioned by Swimming Canada and Swim Ontario, which issued a statement to the Toronto Sun defending their decision.

“In partnership with Swimming Canada, Swim Ontario has a robust system of policies, procedures, and rules that support our member clubs in providing a competitive experience that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive for all participants,” the statement read.

“Swimming Canada and Swim Ontario believe swimming is for everyone… people of all shapes, sizes, genders, beliefs, and backgrounds should have the opportunity to swim to the best of their ability… with the expectation that our registrants treat each other with respect and dignity, and keep our sport environment free from harassment and abuse.”

The last time the activist professor swam against teenagers was in November when he swam in Toronto’s Markham Pan Am Centre during the Richmond Hill Aquatic Centre’s Fall Classic swim meet. The 50-year-old teacher swam against girls aged 13 to 15 in that competition.

During that meet, the organizers tried to deny that Wiseheart competed until they were confronted with a program of the meet proving that Wiseheart was on the schedule. They then admitted that he did compete.

White House takes action to force government workers to travel via electric vehicle, rail
[FoxNews] The White House issued new guidance requiring federal government employees to prioritize using electric vehicles (EV), trains and public transportation options when conducting official business.

The actions, which the White House said fulfilled President Biden's promise to "lead by example" on tackling climate change, seek to take advantage of the federal government's annual business travel purchasing power of $2.8 billion and status as the nation's largest employer. Overall, government employees on official business took more than 2.8 million flights, made 2.3 million vehicle rentals and took 33,000 rail trips last year.

"These operational changes will accelerate the clean transportation transformation, increase good-paying union jobs and create healthier communities," the White House said in a statement Thursday.

"President Biden’s Federal Sustainability Plan aims to reach net-zero emissions from overall Federal operations by 2050, including a 65 percent emissions reduction by 2030," it added. "Through new Federal employee travel guidelines issued today, the Biden-Harris Administration is advancing this goal by directing Federal agencies to prioritize the use of sustainable transportation for official and local travel, both domestically and internationally."

Under the guidance, government employees must rent an EV on official travel when the cost of the EV is less than or equal to the most affordable comparable gas-powered vehicle available. Additionally, employees must opt for EVs when using taxis and ride-share platforms when they are cost-competitive.
When they aren’t cost-competitive or when chargers are unavailable within a reasonable distance — between the two conditions, that will be almost all the time in almost all the country, not to mention trips abroad. What an impressive man our current president is, to be sure.
In addition, employees must only use rail on trips that require less than 250 miles of travel instead of driving or flying. For local travel, employees will be required to use public transportation, a rule that includes travel upon arriving at an offsite location.

"This will save taxpayer money and reduce pollution that jeopardizes people’s health and fuels the climate crisis," the White House said.
Sure it will.
As part of the announcement, rental car and ride-share companies issued a series of commitments to help the government achieve its goals. For example, Hertz is pledging to "substantially increase" EV rentals for corporate travelers next year, and Uber is expanding its "green curb at airports" program that gives riders perks to go green.
Maybe that’ll use up some of the huge unsold inventory of EVs plaguing the dealerships...
California's state government also pledged Thursday to issue guidance within the next six months to encourage its employees to opt for EV options when on official travel.

Shortly after taking office in 2021, Biden issued the goal of ensuring 50% of total domestic vehicle purchases are electric by 2030, a first-of-its-kind goal cheered by green energy industry groups and climate advocates. Since then, the administration has pursued various regulations that, while not explicitly mandating electric vehicles, would create strong financial incentives for manufacturers to produce more zero-carbon options and for consumers to transition to those options.

In April, the EPA proposed the most aggressive federal tailpipe emissions rules on light- and medium-duty emissions ever crafted. If finalized and implemented, 67% of new sedan, crossover, SUV and light truck purchases, up to 50% of bus and garbage truck purchases, 35% of short-haul freight tractor purchases and 25% of long-haul freight tractor purchases could be electric by 2032, the White House projected.

Months later, in July, the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued its most aggressive fuel economy standards ever, an action critics say would increase consumer costs.

"We’re transforming clean energy development that’s [creating] good-paying jobs, including union jobs, in all of America," Biden remarked last month. "We’ve already attracted over half a tri- — we’ve attracted half a trillion dollars — a half of trillion dollars in private sector investment for my Investing in America agenda in clean energy and advanced manufacturing.

"We’re just getting — and we’re just getting started. And we really are. We’re just getting started."

I live in this region. To be clear, these dams account for 8% of the electricity in our state and almost all the electricity in the counties on the rivers. There is no proposed replacement for that lost electricity other than vague references to alternative energy. The majority of people in this area are Republicans, there have been multiple "hearings" on this topic and democrats have ignored all objections. Additionally, the decline in the salmon population appears to have more do to with ocean conditions and over fishing by the Russians and Chinese than with having to climb fish ladders in order to spawn. Also, democrats in the region, and I am one, mostly don't agree with this either. Our objections to our party leaders have been ignored. The people doing this have a very specific agenda and it basically boils down to giving a few tribal groups what they want, even if that harms everyone else.

Government Corruption
White House Breaks Emergency Glass, Brings Back Obama For New Promo With Biden
[Daily Caller] The White House released a promo video Friday that uses former President Barack Obama to tout the Affordable Care Act, most commonly known as Obamacare.
For some reason I was listening to the comedy channel on SiriusXM today, which came with the car. One of the comedians made a joke to the effect that in the old days nobody had a medical care because they couldn’t afford it, and now nobody has medical care because of Obamacare. The audience laughed ruefully. As far as I can tell, that comedy channel carries mainstream rather than cutting edge comedians, so the resentment must be quite widespread.
President Joe Biden celebrated the 13th year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act in March, calling the legislation an "extraordinary achievement" that insured more Americans through Medicaid. Obama and Biden assure Americans in the video that despite Republicans’ wishes, Obamacare is still in effect and encouraged viewers to sign up for the open enrollment program. (RELATED: Health Insurance Costs Expected To See Highest Increase In Over A Decade)

"Hey President Biden, is Obamacare still a thing?" the president reads a text he received from on his phone. "Is it still a thing?" Biden then asks Obama.

"Yes," Obama responds. "Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, Bidencare — whatever you call it, yes it is still a thing. The other side has been trying to repeal it every year since it’s existed. But, we’ll keep fighting to protect it."

Former President Donald Trump previously referenced the cost of Obamacare in a November social media post, even suggesting that he was looking at “alternatives.”

What IF that switch got the LSD's the win in 2024. Would Biden have a surfing accident, or resign in 2025 due to health issues?

Thus making Michelle Obama the President, and putting the Obama's back in the White House.

Senate Staffer Caught Making Hardcore Porn in Capitol Office Building
Ick.
[REDSTATE] Democrat Sen. Ben Cardin is going to have some explaining to do after one of his staffers was caught making hardcore gay porn inside the Capitol Complex.
Surprising to virtually no one.
The news was first broken by "Cockburn," an anonymous writer over at The Spectator, who shared the tale in rather poetic terms. That story also identified the Senate office involved as belonging to Cardin.

The so-called hallowed Halls of Congress play host to a plethora of indecent acts every day — but one staffer for Senator Ben Cardin is taking it to new levels.

The public Twitter account of the audacious young "twink"
...according to the internet, twink is gay slang for a gay man who is usually in his late teens to twenties whose traits may include a slim to average physique, a youthful appearance that may belie an older age, having little or no body hair, flamboyancy, and general physical attractiveness. Twink is used both as a neutral descriptor, which can be compared with bear, and as a pejorative. The term is often modified by various descriptors and is commonly used in the gay p0rnography industry. Thus we have all learnt something I heretofore felt absolutely no need to know...
is comprised almost solely of him in flagrante delicto with his older "bear" partner. The images and videos are explicit — and conspicuously and deliberately contain the staffer’s face.

One pic in particular, shared privately with Cockburn, raised his eyebrow, as it was taken in what certainly appears to be a conference room in the Hart Senate Office Building, where his boss’s office is located.

Shortly after that report, one of the videos posted by the staffer was found and published by a conservative news outlet. It showed a nearly naked man on all fours inside the Capitol office building with a well-placed Capitol Dome over his genitals. The video wasn't just nude posing either. The male staffer and his boyfriend filmed themselves having anal sex inside a meeting room. I'd think some congressional members won't be too happy with the news.
Seriously ick. They may need to burn the entire room just to sterilize it. I suggest the participants be charged for the costs of cleaning and repair.
According to Cockburn's original write-up, this male staffer and his boyfriend, who is described as an "older bear," have been using Twitter as their personal porn set for a while.

Highly classified binder on 2016 Russian election interference went MISSING during Trump's last days in the White House: CIA still searching for file that vanished from a safe
[MAIL] A highly classified binder of documents related to 2016 Russian election interference disappeared from the White House during former President Donald Trump's final days in office.

CNN first reported Friday on the mystery, which remains unsolved nearly three years after Trump left office.

The binder contained raw intelligence the U.S. and its NATO allies collected to inform the government's assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted Trump to win the 2016 presidential election over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

After losing the 2020 race, Trump furiously sought to declassify as much as the material as possible to prove that the Russia investigation was indeed a 'hoax,' as he often claimed.

The 10-inch binder's last known whereabouts were with Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, whose lawyer denied to CNN that he took it home.

#6  Excerpt from the Conservative Tree House Article yesterday that explains this in great detail about the un-redacted binder that he declassified and expected to be released that document the entire Russia hoax and beyond:

"These examples of evidence held by President Donald Trump reveal the background of how the DC surveillance state exists. THAT was/is the national security threat behind the DOJ-NSD search warrant and affidavit.

The risk to the fabric of the U.S. government is why we see lawyers and pundits so confused as they try to figure out the disproportionate response from the DOJ and FBI, toward “simple records” held by President Trump in Mar-a-Lago. Very few people can comprehend what has been done since January 2009, and the current state of corruption, as it now exists, amid all of the agencies and institutions of government.

Barack Obama spent 8 years building out and refining the political surveillance state. The operators of the institutions have spent the last six years hiding the construct.

President Donald Trump declassified the material then likely took the evidence to Mar-a-Lago, leaving the DOJ to make it public. The people currently in charge of managing the corrupt system, like Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, Chris Wray and the Senate allies, are going bananas.

Latino Democrats Tout Migrants as Their Constituents
[Breitbart] Democratic Latino politicians are demanding President Joe Biden protect the interests of foreign migrants, regardless of the huge civic and pocketbook damage to unhyphenated Americans, Latino-Americans, and legal immigrants.

"We are here to protect immigration as it is," Rep. Nanette Barragan (D-CA), told an audience of legislators, activists, and media at a December 13 rally beside the Capitol.
I thought legal immigrant and settled Latin-Americans deeply reject the incoming illegals as competition for jobs, benefits, and housing, not to mention the greatly increased criminality in their neighbourhoods.
The rally called on President Joe Biden to deny any significant concessions to GOP negotiators in the debate over his demand for $14 billion in emergency funds to accelerate and hide his migration flood, and funds for wartime aid for Israel and Ukraine.

Barragan said:

Let me put it a little differently. We’re here to call on President Biden and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to reject the immigration and border bills at the hands of Republicans in the ongoing negotiations around the supplemental [emergency funding bill]

The event included multiple Democratic legislators who championed illegal migrants and future migrants — and rhetorically divorced their American constituents.

Almost none of the legislators mentioned the cost of migration to their many constituents — Latino and other — who lose wages, jobs, homes, status, and investments because desperate migrants must work for less.
