This poll by the Des Moines Register came out during election week in 2024.
It had Kamala Harris leading President Trump by 3%.
President Trump won Iowa by 13%.
This is all you need to know about polls.

NOBODY tells Americans this part of the story.
March 11, 2011.
A black, 30-foot wall of ocean swallowed Northeast Japan.
Our government froze. The Pentagon had no orders.
Communications were dead.
You know what Captain Thom Burke and Rear Admiral Robert Girrier did on the USS Ronald Reagan?
They didn't wait for the White House.
They didn't wait for paperwork.
They looked at the TV screen, saw their friend drowning, and committed the ultimate military sin:
UNAUTHORIZED ADVANCE.
“We’re going. NOW.”
They turned the massive nuclear carrier full throttle straight into the disaster zone.
Then came the hydrogen explosions at Fukushima.
Radiation plumes drifted across the Pacific.
Every foreign embassy told their citizens: RUN.
The US Embassy ordered an evacuation zone: STAY 50 MILES AWAY.
Did the Ronald Reagan turn around?
DID YOUR SAILORS RUN?
NOT. ONE. INCH.
Nineteen-year-old kids from Texas and Ohio stood on a freezing flight deck, radiation detectors in hand, launching helicopters into blizzards.
They hovered over submerged rooftops, pulling shivering mothers and babies out of the black water.
When Japanese refugees were brought aboard shivering in shock, your sailors gave up their own warm bunks and slept on the cold steel floor.
While the rest of the world ran away from Japan,
AMERICA CHARGED STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE.
You didn't do it for a treaty.
You didn't do it for politicians.
You saw your friend bleeding, and you kicked the doors down to save us.
Happy 250th, America.
Japan will remember your boys forever. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

Netflix’s "Unabomber" movie releases today and I immediately noticed the SECOND cast listing is Shailene Woodley as FBI Agent Joanne Miller.
So of course, my WOKE ALARM went off and I asked Google AI:
Did they make up ANOTHER FEMALE FBI AGENT character for this?
GOOGLE:
"Yes. The character of Joanne Miller is entirely fictional.
Shailene Woodley’s character was created as a composite fictional FBI agent and written into the classic true-crime trope of the lone, brilliant investigator BATTING INSTITUTIONAL COMPLACENCY AND SEXISM.
In the film, FEMALE Agent Miller is the one who zeroes in on the linguistics of the manifesto.
In real life, it was MALE FBI PROFILER JAMES R. FITZGERALD who heavily pioneered forensic linguistics in analyzing Ted Kaczynski’s writing."
In other words, MORE STOLEN VALOR disguised as FEMALE EMPOWERMENT.
And if they were willing to make this change, what other LIES will their movie tell?
🖕NETFLIX.

New York Times reporter Jonathan Swan just got a stunning reality check from both Bill Maher and author James Kirchick.
Swan was spiraling over President Trump barring CNN and MS NOW from the White House, until Kirchick reminded him of some of the Obama-era media scandals.
KIRCHICK: “During the Obama administration they tapped the AP bureau’s phones and the phones of AP bureau reporters. They tapped their phones!”
Maher backed up some of the claims and seconded Kirchick’s point about the Obama administration.
MAHER: “I looked this up about freezing out one…they did it with Fox News. Josh Earnest, he was in the Obama administration. He admitted it.”
“The White House has demonstrated our willingness to exclude Fox News from news making interviews…”
“This is exactly what…you know, this is what I say about this country. Everybody’s like this is the worst thing in the world except when we do it.”
“And then it’s always perfectly okay.”
Maher nailed the hypocrisy in one sentence.
Well done.

Gavin Newsom finally admits closing beaches during COVID was “insane,” and Bill Maher says he should have figured that out WHEN IT MATTERED!
He adds Newsom's COVID rules were the exact OPPOSITE of what should have been done.
Closing beaches was just the start:
• Banned singing at church
• Banned indoor church services until the Supreme Court stepped in
• Shut down Bible studies in private homes until the Supreme Court blocked it
• Rammed through the country's first COVID vaccine mandates for kids
• Told diners to keep their masks on “in between bites”
• Signed a law letting the state punish doctors for COVID “misinformation”
• Dined at the French Laundry while telling Californians to stay home
• Sent his own kids back to in-person private school while public schools stayed closed
Gavin forced COVID hell on everyone, got “The Science” all wrong, and didn’t even follow his own rules…
“Insane” in hindsight doesn’t quite cover it.

🚨SCOTUS VICTORY🚨
The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to expand the voter citizenship verification program.
This will let states use Social Security records to check voters' citizenship.
The move backs the 1996 federal law while allows DHS to obtain citizenship information from other agencies.
"For the foregoing reasons, the application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted. The June 22, 2026 order entered by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in case No. 25–cv–3501 is stayed pending the disposition of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court."
Well said. Kurtzman's Trek is not really trek at all. I'm not even sure it is science fiction.
Why did Alex Kurtzman's version of Star Trek fail?
#1 MAIN REASON: He changed the Trek universe into something else entirely in the 2009 reboot movie. Let's just leave the characters out for now. He changed the mostly science-based, vast universe containing all of our favorite planets and species into a universe of personalities centering around characters. And he put those characters on a completely different ship that was so different from the original Enterprise, that it is legally considered different (and thus able to be copyrighted on it's own).
#2 CANON: He basically ignored established Trek canon and created his own Star Trek-branded fantasy-sci show using the names of Star Trek characters and select few elements from real Star Trek to imply a real connection. The biggest fake-out was hiring Leonard Nimoy to play an alt-Spock in the movie to create what I call "canon-glue". A visual trick used to connect the actors of original characters to new alt-characters who are totally different. It was done again with Jeri Ryan, Brent Spiner, Patrick Stewart, Kate Mulgrew (Prodigy) and the rest of the TNG crew later in the Kurtzmanverse in Picard. The last one was using Robert Picardo in Academy.
#3 WRITING: This one is all over the place. Kurtzman had millions of dollars to work with. He had the backing of Paramount and a contract. But he hired amateur writers, many of whom never wrote anything at all. He even had an editor writing an episode. He hired legit writers later, but they were unfamiliar with Star Trek and it showed. Only in Picard Season 3 did he hire Terry Matalas who was a Star Trek alumni, but not the best one available. He came very close to writing real Star Trek, but anything taking place in the Kurtzmanverse was going to be non-canon and different. We got the Enterprise Falcon flying like a starfighter, fake Constitution-class USS New Jersey, and a Fake new Enterprise G with fake Seven of None as it's Captain.
#4 ARROGANCE: The entire time from the start of Discovery to the present, Alex Kurtzman showed disdain for real Star Trek fans. We got labeled haters, trolls, and he even hired an army of trolls calling themselves #wearestarfleet. Searching them now here on X shows they all suddenly disappeared in 2021. He went the extra mile to create "Gene the Janitor" cleaning goo from the spore chamber on Discovery. His alt-Spock and new Discoprise and alt-Sarek were insultingly different. And he created an arc where a criminally disobedient Michael Burnham somehow became Captain of a starship. I'm not going to even go over Academy at all. Ugh.
#5 DESPERATION: After Discovery and Picard failed, he tried to fall back to somewhere in the neighborhood of original Star Trek with the Strange New Worlds prequel starring Anson Mount (at first). It was chock full of Kurtzman Trek and again ignored canon and introduced alt-characters nothing like their original namesakes in the new show. Plans were being made to do a new TOS-era show which would have basically erased the events of TOS and replaced them with all-new stories. That has been prevented with the ending of the Kurtzmanverse.
These are all things Star Trek fans have had to endure for 10 years. Word to @ParamountPics @paramountplus , if you do not deliver Star Trek in your movie project, you will end up failing like Kurtzman did. Your writers should be looking only at real Star Trek for inspiration, not any other IP. Make Star Trek and we will come. 🖖

With, “Tomorrow’s Enterprise,” SNW not only invokes the memory of one of TNG’s best episodes (once again displaying how offensively unoriginal this half-baked show has become), but it presents what these showrunners think of TOS. Also…a White Hole?!? Christ I hate this show.
The police should be criminally prosecuted for illegal false arrest. Anything short of this is a police state.
Flock camera pings the wrong Durango, and 23 year-old woman spends 13 days in jail for a crash she didn’t cause.
Lindsey Brooke Isaacs was 23, asleep in her Palm Coast apartment, when Florida Highway Patrol troopers pounded on the door. They told her her black Dodge Durango had killed three people on I-4 near DeBary on October 4, 2025. A motorcyclist and Flagler County official Jorge Salinas and his wife.
She said they had the wrong person. Her SUV was almost new. No crash damage. She asked them to show her the damage. They wouldn’t let her look. They towed the car anyway.
What they had was a Flock automated license plate reader hit.
A camera three miles west of the wreck logged her plate at 9:51 p.m. The crash was around 9:53. That timing should have cleared her, as she was already past the scene. Instead, it became the case.
Witnesses and a 911 caller described a maroon Durango and a partial plate starting 458. Struck vehicles had maroon paint. Isaacs’ plate was RJVN10. Her Durango was black. Investigators searched Flock for a black Durango anyway, locked onto the first one they found, and ran with it.
They alleged “marks consistent with a collision.” Photos of the car in the impound lot later showed no such damage. They never pulled the event data recorder that would have shown no collision. They omitted the maroon description and the timing from the story that put her in handcuffs.
April 17, 2026: arrest warrant. Eight felonies, including three counts of vehicular homicide. Held without bond. Thirteen days in Volusia County Jail, including solitary, she later told the Senate, in a cell with feces on the walls. Facing what she was told could be life.
April 29: $250,000 bond.
May 22: prosecutors drop every charge. Same day, they arrest Alisa Lee Montalvo of Deltona who owned a maroon Durango, plate beginning 458, damage that actually matches.
Isaacs is suing the two FHP sergeants who built the case. This week she testified in the U.S. Senate about Flock’s nationwide ALPR network.

Not the war in Iran you idiot.
It is the result of Ukraine attacks on Russian refineries.
Russian diesel is used in Russia and sold to Europe.
Because of refinery damage Russia is keeping more and exporting less.
That squeezes world supply and drives up prices.
It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran.

Here are ten grotesque hoaxes that permanently broke corporate journalism and exposed their cartel forever.
Legacy media executives feign bewilderment over their cratering credibility, yet the historical record tells an undeniable story. The collapse of public trust was earned through calculated psychological operations, doctored footage, and deliberate institutional fraud. They demanded you ignore your own eyes, surrender basic common sense, and treat blatant partisan propaganda as sacred scripture.
1. The "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful" Spectacle (CNN, 2020)
Ali Velshi stood in front of towering infernos consuming Kenosha storefronts while the lower-third graphic insisted the scene was "mostly peaceful." The broadcast demanded viewers distrust their own eyes to protect the regime's preferred civil unrest.
2. The Covington Catholic Character Assassination (2019)
Legacy networks selectively sliced footage of teenager Nick Sandmann standing motionless while an activist banged a drum inches from his face. The media branded a quiet high schooler as the face of white supremacy, triggering multi-million dollar defamation settlements once uncut footage destroyed the script.
3. The Jussie Smollett Hate Crime Fable (2019)
Anchors uncritically broadcast an absurd fairy tale featuring sub-zero Chicago temperatures, roving assailants carrying bleach, and an intact noose. Newsrooms substituted basic police reporting with cheap racial melodrama, crowning a mediocre actor a martyr before Chicago police dismantled the fraud.
4. The Hunter Biden Laptop Suppression (2020)
Fifty-one retired intelligence operatives signed a letter laundering genuine domestic corruption as foreign influence. Corporate networks obediently censored the report right before a presidential election, only verifying the laptop years later when political consequences had expired.
5. The Charlottesville "Very Fine People" Deception (2017)
Cable news ran a heavily edited nine-second soundbite to convince the public that a sitting president endorsed white supremacists. They buried the explicit sentence spoken moments later condemning neo-Nazis entirely. Networks weaponized this lie for seven consecutive years.
6. The Border Patrol "Whips" Fabrication (2021)
Anchors and politicians accused mounted border agents of using whips against Haitian migrants along the Rio Grande. Even after the civilian photographer publicly testified that agents used split reins to control horses, the media kept the smear alive to paralyze sovereign enforcement.
7. The Automotive "Bloodbath" Panic (2024)
Commentators clipped a speech analyzing Chinese auto tariffs and manufactured a panic about nationwide political slaughter. Outlets coordinated identical headlines across digital platforms, deliberately deceiving voters to produce cheap campaign fear.
Clip Search: Trump bloodbath auto industry speech full context
8. The Steele Dossier Collusion Hoax (2016 to 2019)
Cable hosts spent years reading unverified opposition research funded by political opponents as sacred scripture. Pundits guaranteed imminent treason indictments on prime-time television, harvesting viewer paranoia to fuel a multi-million-dollar ratings racket built on zero evidence.
9. The "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Myth (2014)
Pundits raised their hands on air to validate an execution narrative that never happened in Ferguson. The federal Justice Department ultimately demolished the story using forensic ballistics, yet networks permanently embedded the fabrication into modern cultural folklore.
10. The Wuhan Lab Leak "Racist Conspiracy" Blackout (2020)
Legacy reporters branded the virology laboratory hypothesis a xenophobic delusion to protect international bureaucracies and federal research grants. Once evidence made the scenario undeniable, the press pivoted without acknowledging their coordinated suppression of scientific inquiry.
These ten hoaxes barely scratch the surface of a decades-long catalog of engineered deception. X has character limits, and modern server infrastructure has physical constraints. Documenting every single fabrication produced by the left-wing press would literally require paving the entire surface of the moon with data centers. The legacy cartel traded its credibility for partisan propaganda, and the American public permanently revoked its trust. The monopoly is broken, the curtain is down, and their authority will never return.

Stanford University lying for DEI
Stanford just got caught using AI to swap a Hispanic student out of a promotional photo and replace him with a Black woman.
Billy Ramirez says he was "immediately baffled" when a friend sent him the altered image. Then he looked closer.
"Seeing my identity changed and being left out of the picture made me feel, in a way, silenced and erased from a representation that was supposed to include me."
Stanford confirmed AI was used and says both the alteration and lack of disclosure violated university policy.

🚨New: Brittany Dunn-Pirio, a Fairfax County native and career prosecutor, launched her campaign for the Democratic nomination for Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney against Steve Descano.
"I have spent my career fighting for the most vulnerable people in our community – victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child sex abuse – at every level of Virginia’s court system," said Dunn-Pirio. "Most recently I was a federal prosecutor, and I resigned from the Justice Department because I couldn’t stomach propping up a system that gave pardons to the well-connected while prosecuting average Americans for the same conduct.”
"The way I've always worked is simple. Listen to the victim. Listen to the witnesses. Listen to the defense attorney. Try to figure out the truth and do the right thing in every case. And know the difference between someone who deserves a second chance and someone who needs to be held accountable, because that judgment is most of this job.”
"Now I look at our county, and I see headline after headline – botched sexual assault cases, prosecutors missing deadlines, and victims not being spoken to. We need a Commonwealth’s Attorney who can make this office work," Dunn-Pirio said. "Every person in Fairfax should feel safe, and every person in Fairfax should be able to trust the office that's supposed to protect them."
