Turns out Republicans were the real trannys all along

https://www.thebulwark.com/p/candace-owens-tpusa-charlie-kirk-death-conspiracy-theories-elijah-schaffer

TURNING POINT USA COMMUNICATIONS staffer Aubrey Laitsch was called into a meeting last month and abruptly told she was being fired, according to a video she posted online last week.

In her telling, the reason Laitsch was given for being let go involved a convoluted story about an Uber ride. It went like this:

A TPUSA executive had taken an Uber and asked his driver what he thought of the organization. The driver replied that he had heard it was in chaos in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination—and that no one inside TPUSA liked Erika Kirk, Kirk’s widow and now TPUSA’s CEO. Then the Uber driver revealed to the TPUSA executive that the source of his information was Laistch, who the driver claimed was a high school friend of his daughter’s.

A strange story, and one Laitsch said she didn’t buy. She then offered up another explanation—one she said didn’t come up during her discussion with TPUSA executives but which she sensed was a factor in her termination.

Laitsch, as she outlined in her video, seems to genuinely believe that her own organization had something to do with its founder’s murder or an ensuing coverup.

The unfounded claim that Charlie Kirk’s assassination was some sort of inside job is growing in popularity on the right after being promoted by YouTuber and former TPUSA employee Candace Owens. Laitsch claims that others at TPUSA are suspicious about Kirk’s murder too—and that they had been discussing among themselves how they couldn’t raise the issue internally.

WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The administration of President Donald Trump on Thursday announced the repeal of a scientific finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, and eliminated federal tailpipe emissions standards for cars and trucks.
It is the most sweeping climate change policy rollback by the administration to date, after a string of regulatory cuts and other moves intended to unfetter fossil fuel development and stymie the rollout of clean energy.
"Under the process just completed by the EPA, we are officially terminating the so-called endangerment finding, a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged the American auto industry and drove up prices for American consumers," Trump said, saying it was the biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history.
The Environmental Protection Agency said in a press release the endangerment finding had relied on an incorrect interpretation of federal clean air laws meant to protect Americans from pollutants that do harm through local or regional exposure, not through warming the global climate.
"This flawed legal theory took the agency outside the scope of its statutory authority in multiple respects," it said.
Trump announced the repeal beside EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and White House budget director Russ Vought, who has long sought to revoke the finding and was a key architect of conservative policy blueprint Project 2025.
Trump has said he believes climate change is a "con job", and has withdrawn the United States from the Paris Agreement, leaving the world’s largest historic contributor to global warming out of international efforts to combat it. He has also signed legislation killing Biden-era tax credits aimed at accelerating deployment of electric cars and renewable energy.

Contender, a large male great white shark tagged by the marine research group OCEARCH has been spotted in waters off the coast of North Carolina after months of cruising around Florida.

Contender was tagged by the research group in January 2025. He weighs nearly 1,700 pounds and measures over 13 feet long. The tag provides real-time data about his location, allowing researchers to learn more about migration patterns and other habits.

Great whites like Contender tend to spend the summer in cooler, prey-dense northern waters near Maine and Canada before migrating south for the winter, OCEARCH said on Instagram.

Sharks don't ping every day. Their movements are tracked by devices attached to their dorsal fins. The trackers can't transmit through water, OCEARCH senior data scientist John Tyminski said in a video published by the organization. To accurately confirm a shark's location, the tracker must break the surface while an Argos satellite is above. The satellites are only in a given spot for about 13 minutes. During that time, the tracker must send multiple messages for a location to be confirmed.

If a shark's tracker only sends one message to the satellite, it is considered a "Z-ping." Those are less specific and only give scientists a general sense of where the shark may be, Tyminski said.

Each shark's tag can provide real-time data for several years, according to OCEARCH. That information is available online.

Friendly reminder that most Republicans aren't pedophiles, they're just closeted homosexuals

https://ew.com/house-republicans-call-for-investigation-of-bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-show-11904174

Two days out, Bad Bunny's epic Super Bowl halftime show, which featured cameos from stars such as Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, and Ricky Martin, is still getting a lot of attention, especially from Republican lawmakers. They were not entertained.

By Monday, one of the detractors, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), asked officials to look into the performance, which he called "pure smut" that he claimed was "illegal to be displayed on public airways."

Ogles cited "choreography featuring overtly sexualized movements, including widespread twerking, grinding, pelvic thrusts and other sexually suggestive conduct."

He is, therefore, "requesting that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC immediately for their prior knowledge, deliberate approval, and facilitation of this indecent broadcast. American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence."

Ogles' colleague Rep. Mark Alford (R-Mo.) said Tuesday that he and his Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives have already embarked on an investigation into the event.

"On the Bad Bunny bad performance at the Super Bowl — we're still investigating this," he said on TV's Real America's Voice, per The Wrap. "There's a lot of information that has come out about the lyrics."

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during the latest episode of Theo Von’s podcast Thursday that he once snorted cocaine off of a toilet seat while talking about not fearing germs.

Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, appeared on “This Past Weekend” when he made the remark. He reflected on meeting with Von at recovery meetings in the Los Angeles area when he brought up still going to in-person recovery meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I mean for me, I said this when I came in, ‘I don’t care what happens, I’m going to a meeting everyday,'” Kennedy said. “I’m not scared of a germ, you know. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats. I know this disease will kill me. If I don’t treat it, which means going to meetings everyday, it’s just bad for my life. For me, it was survival.”

The secretary, who has been in recovery for more than 40 years, called it “heartbreaking” when meetings tried to go virtual rather than in person.

The two moved on to discuss Kennedy’s work at the HHS, and he reflected on his time working as a lawyer.

Kennedy has been open about his past drug use, which he said started in the years after his father, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1968 in Los Angeles after winning the state’s presidential primary for the Democratic nomination.

Kennedy was arrested twice for drug possession, the latter of the two arrests leading him to commit to becoming sober.

On Jan. 30, a New York State jury awarded a 22-year-old woman, Fox Varian, $2 million in damages for her 2019 “gender-affirming” double mastectomy, which she came to deeply regret. She was 16 years old at the time.

The Epoch Times reported that Varian’s mother, Claire Deacon, was worried “her daughter would commit suicide if she didn’t get” the procedure and told the court that her daughter’s psychologist certainly “increased that worry.” This represents the deeply deceptive, “Would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?” emotional blackmail.

This judgment has sent shockwaves through the medical and psychological community peddling this lie. They know more are coming. Independent reporter Benjamin Ryan has documented 27 other detransitioner lawsuits filed to date. And Manhattan Institute research from 2017 to 2023 found that a conservative minimum of 5,200 U.S. teen girls had their breasts removed, believing it would solve their transgender confusion.

Attorney General Pam Bondi lashed out at judges and lawmakers in a contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, with the department’s handling of its Jeffrey Epstein records and its attempts to prosecute critics of President Donald Trump causing the most tension.

The oversight hearing comes as Bondi and her agency face increased pressure from the White House to deliver victories on Trump’s agenda — and frustration, including from the president himself, at what they perceive to be the slow progress and a number of setbacks in the courts.

At times, Bondi’s performance on Wednesday seemed targeted specifically for Trump. She appeared to be reading off pre-written talking points on occasion and sang Trump’s praises, calling him “the greatest president in American history.”

Wednesday's hearing devolved into a series of shouting matches as Democrats peppered Bondi with questions about Epstein and survivors of his abuse, many of whom attended the proceedings.

In a press conference ahead of the hearing, Epstein survivors and their family members and tore into the department's handling of the case.

“The DOJ needs to do its job. Give us the rest of the files and start the investigations,” said one survivor, Dani Bensky.

Sky Roberts, the brother of Virginia Giuffre, explicitly took aim at Bondi, calling her handling of this “nothing short of a failure.” “Do your job, Pam,” said Roberts.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The immigration crackdown in Minnesota that led to mass detentions, protests and two deaths is coming to an end, border czar Tom Homan said Thursday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched Operation Metro Surge on Dec. 1.

Federal authorities say the sweeps focused on the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area have led to the arrest of more than 4,000 people. While the Trump administration has called those arrested “dangerous criminal illegal aliens,” many people with no criminal records, including children and U.S. citizens, have also been detained.

Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said Tuesday that he expected Operation Metro Surge to end in “days, not weeks and months,” based on his conversations with senior Trump administration officials. He told reporters he spoke this week with both Homan and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey also said he had a “positive meeting” with Homan on Monday and discussed the potential for a further drawdown of federal officers.

Homan took over the Minnesota operation in late January after the second fatal shooting by federal immigration agents and amid growing political backlash and questions about how the operation was being run.

“We’re very much in a trust but verify mode,” Walz said, adding that he expected to hear more from the administration “in the next day or so” about the future of what he said has been an “occupation” and a “retribution campaign” against the state.

The Labor Departments benchmark revisions to full-year 2025 data revealed that a labor market already viewed as soft actually performed worse than initially thought.

Revisions brought the total number of jobs added last year down by more than 403,000, to only 181,000 for the year – an exceptionally weak year by almost any standard. There are now real doubts about how long the broader economy can continue to power forward with the job market.

This is far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

Wednesday’s reports further complicate the task for President Donald Trump and Republicans as they attempt to craft an economic narrative going into the 2026 midterm elections. Polls show that the president’s approval rating on the economy has declined, while consumer sentiment has been poor, particularly around the jobs market.

Hiring increased sharply at the outset of 2026, the year's first jobs report said, blowing past economists' expectations and besting sluggish performance from the previous year.

The U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, according to the report, which marked a sharp increase from 50,000 jobs added in the previous month.

House republicans vote to save america from election fraud, and in doing so, advance common sense voting laws supported by 80% of Americans, including 71% of Democrat voters, and 0% of Democrat politicians

The new regulations require a minimum of photo identification for voting as well as enable information sharing with the DHS so that it's more difficult for states like California to pad their voter rolls with dead people and illegals

Democrats are furious that their voter fraud schemes are being upturned

House passes Save America Act, Trump-backed bill to impose new voting rules
Bill that requires proof of citizenship and would limit mail-in voting passes 218-213 but faces uphill battle in Senate

The House on Wednesday passed the Save America Act, which would dramatically change voting regulations by requiring proof of citizenship at voter registration and significantly curtail mail-in voting.

The legislation, which passed 218 to 213, faces an uphill battle in the Senate, close observers say.

“I’m skeptical that the Senate will vote on this bill, because this bill goes farther than the bill they’ve already sent to the Senate, [which] it hasn’t taken up,” said Shenna Bellows, Maine’s secretary of state and a Democratic candidate for governor.

A federal judge on Thursday ruled that the Trump administration "trampled" on Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights, blocking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's efforts to punish the Arizona senator, a retired Naval officer.

“This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly’s First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees,” U.S. District Judge Richard Leon wrote. “After all, as Bob Dylan famously said, 'You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.' To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our Constitution demands they receive it!”

“Rather than trying to shrink the First Amendment liberties of retired service members, Secretary Hegseth and his fellow Defendants might reflect and be grateful for the wisdom and expertise that retired service members have brought to public discussions and debate on military matters in our Nation over the past 250 years,” Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote. “If so, they will more fully appreciate why the Founding Fathers made free speech the first Amendment in the Bill of Rights!"

He added, "Hopefully this injunction will in some small way help bring about a course correction in the Defense Department’s approach to these issues.”

In a post on X, Hegseth said the ruling would be "immediately appealed." He added, "Sedition is sedition, 'Captain.'"

Hegseth said in January that the Pentagon was taking steps to downgrade Kelly’s military retirement rank and pay because of his “seditious statements,” referring to the video from Kelly and the other lawmakers, all of whom had previously served in the military or intelligence community.

Daily reminder the conspiracy theorists were always right.

Jail guards overseeing Jeffrey Epstein used a decoy body to mislead reporters gathered outside the prison after his death, while his real corpse was secretly removed in a separate vehicle, newly unsealed files claim.

According to an internal memo, a jail supervisor told FBI agents that staff at Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center staged the ruse amid an intense media presence following Epstein's apparent suicide in 2019.

The files allege that boxes and sheets were arranged to resemble a human body and loaded into a white van marked as belonging to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, prompting reporters to follow it as it drove away.

Unbeknown to the media, Epstein's actual body was instead placed into a black vehicle that left the facility 'unnoticed,' allowing officers to transport the corpse privately.

The alleged deception was carried out after an official warned guards about the large number of journalists gathered outside the jail and said he would arrive at the loading dock with a separate black vehicle to remove the body.

The Patriots will be moving Terrell Williams to a new role in 2026.

NFL Media reports that Williams will move to a high-ranking role on Mike Vrabel’s staff.

Williams joined the team as their defensive coordinator after Vrabel was hired as their head coach last year. Williams missed most of the season while battling prostate cancer, but was able to join the team at Super Bowl LX after making progress in his treatment.

Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr took on the responsibilities of calling the defense when Williams went on leave. Kuhr’s results were good enough for the Patriots to win the AFC, which should make him among the leading candidates to take over the coordinator job on a permanent basis
