Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce opened the Wednesday, February 25, episode of their New Heights podcast with squeals as they both rocked Team USA hockey jerseys.

“Twinsieeeesss,” Jason, 38, shouted.

The former Prime Minister of Norway has been rushed to hospital after a reported suicide attempt.

Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalised on Tuesday, February 24, just a few days after he was charged with serious corruption offences, linked to his association with paedophile Epstein. Reports of Jagland attempting suicide were denied by his lawyer.

Jagland was charged with “gross corruption” after newly released documents appeared to reveal a transactional relationship between the ex-PM and convicted paedophile, between 2011 and 2018. Some Norwegian outlets have reported a suicide attempt, but the high-profile statesman’s legal team has insisted he was rushed to the hospital due to extreme stress instead of a deliberate act.

A 25-year-old man from Spring, Texas is jailed without bond, charged with aggravated assault after authorities say he secretly gave abortion medication to a pregnant woman against her will, causing the death of their unborn child.

Jon Rueben Gabriel Demeter faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury — family violence. Authorities indicated possible additional or enhanced charges pending further evidence processing.

The child, named Presley Mae by her mother, was stillborn at a hospital in The Woodlands.

The SSPX has announced it will proceed with episcopal consecrations on July 1, defying Vatican objections and declaring the Church in a state of emergency. Cardinal Robert Sarah and Cardinal Walter Brandmüller have issued public rebukes, demanding obedience to Pope Leo. Bishop Athanasius Schneider has offered support. The battle lines are drawn, not over rebellion, but over whether the crisis within the Church justifies extraordinary measures to preserve the priesthood and the faith.

Pope Leo’s recent episcopal appointments have placed men supportive of same-sex blessings into positions of authority, elevated figures entangled in Freemasonry controversies, and advanced leaders shaped by Germany’s Synodal Way. The pattern is not accidental. It is a deliberate reshaping of the hierarchy in Rome’s own image.

We’re repeatedly told that transgender-identifying individuals are not prone to commit gun violence. Major outlets — including the The New York Times, AP, CNN, and The Washington Post — publish articles arguing that transgender attacks are extremely rare and run headlines calling out conservative bias: “The right exploits Nashville shooting to escalate anti-trans rhetoric” and “Conservatives use Minneapolis shooting in anti-transgender campaigns.”

In the wake of the attacks in Canada and Pawtucket, Rhode Island, over the past couple of weeks, public debate has once again focused on transgender murderers. But the AP, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, MS Now, and the New York Times never mentioned the Rhode Island shooter identified as transgender. AP never mentioned the Canadian mass murderer was transgender. Other transgender-identifying people recently also posed serious threats even though they never got a chance to fire a shot. For example, Nicholas Roske, who now identifies as transgender, attempted to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and took concrete steps toward carrying out the attack before authorities stopped him.

26-year-old Kiano Vafaeian was given permission by the Canadian government to be murdered by doctors on the grounds that that suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is “grievous and irremediable.” Vafaeian is also blind and suffers from Type 1 Diabetes. Neither condition qualifies for MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying).

The family of Vafaeian claim, “We believe that she (the MAiD doctor) was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for. We don’t want to see any other family member suffer, or any country introduce a piece of legislation that kills their disabled or vulnerable without appropriate proper treatment plans that could save their lives.”

Canadian Government Euthanizes 26-Year-Old Suffering ‘Seasonal Depression’ – slaynews.com

A grieving family is sounding the alarm over Canada’s controversial “assisted suicide” system after their 26-year-old son, who struggled with seasonal depression, was euthanized under the country’s expanding death-on-demand laws.

Kiano Vafaeian, a blind man living with Type 1 diabetes, was killed by lethal injection in December through the Canadian government’s taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.

MAiD euthanizes patients, deemed to have “grievous and irremediable” medical conditions, with lethal drugs.

Canada broadened eligibility in 2021 to include people with chronic illnesses and disabilities, and lawmakers have debated extending access further to certain mental-health conditions.

The rapidly expanding slippery-slope laws are raising growing concern among critics who warn that the system is drifting toward normalizing suicide for vulnerable individuals.

Family Alleges Doctor “Coached” Path to Death

Vafaeian’s mother, Margaret Marsilla, says the family fought for years to keep their son from pursuing assisted suicide as he battled depression that worsened during the winter months following a devastating car accident at age 17.

But last year, British Columbia MAiD provider Dr. Ellen Wiebe approved Vafaeian as a so-called “Track 2” patient, meaning his natural death was not considered reasonably imminent.

The family says they learned of the approval only days later.

Marsilla alleged the physician effectively guided her son toward qualifying for euthanasia.

“We believe that she was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for,” Marsilla said.

She has since pushed to reverse Track 2 eligibility rules and is backing Bill C-218, legislation aimed at preventing assisted suicide when mental illness is the sole condition.

“We don’t want to see any other family member suffer, or any country introduce a piece of legislation that kills their disabled or vulnerable without appropriate proper treatment plans that could save their lives,” Marsilla said.

A Life That Showed Signs Of Recovery

According to his family, Vafaeian’s condition fluctuated over time.

After previously attempting to schedule assisted suicide in 2022, an effort halted when his mother discovered the appointment and intervened, he later showed meaningful improvement.

By 2024, he had moved back home, joined a gym, completed personal-training sessions, and texted his mother that he was “looking forward to a new chapter.”

But as winter returned, his depression worsened again.

Soon after traveling to Mexico and then Vancouver, he informed his mother by text that his assisted suicide procedure was scheduled for the next day.

His parents say they were never notified of the approval beforehand.

“This whole process came to us as a shock,” said his stepfather, Joseph Caprara.

Questions Over Safeguards and Medical Justification

Vafaeian’s death certificate listed blindness, diabetes, and severe peripheral neuropathy as antecedent causes.

There was no mention that he was euthanized or suffering from seasonal depression.

His parents dispute whether the medical records support neuropathy as a qualifying factor.

Marsilla argues Canada’s safeguards are dangerously weak, noting Track 2 approvals can occur in roughly 90 days.

“Realistically, safeguards for patients would be reaching out to their family members, giving them a whole bunch of different treatment options,” she said.

“How is that safe for patients?”

After his death, she wrote online:

“This is not healthcare.

“This is a failure of ethics, accountability, and humanity.

“No parent should ever have to bury their child because a system — and a doctor — chose death over care, help or love.”

Doctor Defends Assisted Suicide as “Human Rights” Work

Dr. Wiebe, a longtime abortionist, has publicly described assisted suicide in strikingly positive terms.

She boasts that she has delivered more than 1,000 babies while also helping more than 500 patients die, calling euthanasia “the best work I’ve ever done.”

She added:

“I have a very strong, passionate desire for human rights.

“I’m willing to take risks for human rights as I do for abortion.”

Explaining eligibility decisions, she said physicians hold long discussions with patients about life’s meaning before determining “when it’s been enough.”

Assisted Suicide Expands Beyond Canada

The controversy comes as assisted-suicide laws continue spreading across the West.

On Monday, New York legalized physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill adults.

New York has become the 13th U.S. state, plus Washington, D.C., to enact such legislation.

Meanwhile, Canada already records one of the world’s highest rates of medically assisted deaths.

Euthanasia currently accounts 5.1% of all deaths, totaling 16,499 in 2024.

The surge in state-backed “suicide” is fueling an intensifying debate over whether the policy protects dignity or endangers the vulnerable.

For Vafaeian’s family, the answer is tragically clear.

Abortion bans will expose women giving birth to “44 to 70 times higher than the mortality risk from abortion,” according to a new study from the University of Maryland and Brown University.

The lead author, Maria Steenland, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Health, claims, “Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.”

But what is the new evidence their analysis is based on?

The state of New York is actively engaging in a rebellion.

I’m not just talking about its refusal to enforce federal immigration law, harboring and exporting violent illegal aliens to other states like Jose Ibarra, who was freed on cashless bail by the Empire State before he traveled to Georgia and killed 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley.

I’m talking about a refusal to follow the Constitution in a way that threatens to turn these United States into nation-states and warring entities, like the city-states of ancient Greece.

Colorado’s Democrat state legislators want to force transgenderism on parents, requiring them to affirm their child’s “gender identity” or risk losing custody.

Radical lawmakers introduced “Concerning Legal Protections for The Dignity of a Minor” (SB 26-018) on Jan. 14, and the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill, referring it to the full Senate on Feb. 18.

In its intended form, the bill requires courts to consider whether parents embrace their child’s “gender identity” when determining custody. Courts must favor parents who support their child’s “preferred name and pronouns” and push their child to receive harmful and damaging “transgender” drugs, hormones, and surgeries.

 

THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke claimed during a Thursday hearing that pornography could be “educational” for “queer” children while arguing against a law requiring age verification to access adult web sites.

The legislation HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed “harmful to minors,” with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth.

“The AGs in many states are, are very clear about that they’re almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer,” Finke claimed during the Thursday hearing. “And you’re a principal, you have LGBT students in your school, and we also know that they’re not receiving sex education for queer kids. We know that. Prurient interest could be for many people the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids.”

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” – Matthew 5:43-48

“And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.’” – Luke 10:12

  1. NOTE: Satan wants us to hate the sinner, not the sin. God calls us to ONLY to hate the sin. In the wake of yet another mass shooting by a transgendered person, the temptation to vilify and demonize this whole group of people, transgendered people, is strong. The temptation to make the transgendered person the enemy, the “other” is strong as well.

But transgendered people are human beings, all with the image of God within them, all as sacred to God as non-trans people are. Our publisher, Bill Collier, shares a few thoughts on being a good neighbor to whoever the “other” is in your life. In this case, the “other” might become the transgendered person. Should you fall for this temptation from Satan, your list of “others” is only sure to grow, as Satan designed it.

Violent psychotics appear in every era, in every society under different psychosis, from religious fanatics to anarchists. Now, we are seeing climate alarmist fanatics, neo-Nazis, Islamists, and, especially more recently, trans extremist wackos.

Religion doesn’t make people psychotic.

Concern for the environment isn’t psychotic.

Islam as a religion doesn’t make people psychotic.

Neo–Nazism IS psychotic: there are no good neo-Nazis.

But trans people aren’t inherently psychotic.

I think people who have a propensity toward psychosis pick something as a cause. Right now, people who would likely have been psychotics for another reason are on the trans bandwagon, their
vehicle of power.”

The radical trans ideology is, in my opinion and estimation, a close cousin and “gateway drug” to transhumanism, which is as maleficent as Nazism or Stalinism.

We used to use the term “trans sexual” for people who believed they were the opposite sex to their biology. They didn’t try and force anyone to speak a certain way, to use their preferred pronouns, or to affirm them in any way.

Back in the 80s, in MY experience, trans sexual people were treated like anyone else. You weren’t compelled to call a man a woman, but you were expected to be polite and respectful. You were expected to not judge them as a human being, even if you disagreed with their life choices or their beliefs. In the 80s, the spirit of “mind your own business” was still strong in the American street.

Of course, there were the truly intolerant, the people who preyed on difference as a sport. The transgendered person was an easy target for them, though they didn’t get much support for their actions. They also suffered little consequence other than social disassociation.

In the late 80s, a dear friend of mine had AIDS. He was treated as a pariah by his own family, and many of his friends. He was dying in a hospice with few visitors. When someone did visit, they wouldn’t hug him, wouldn’t eat with him.

My Mother and I were the last two people regularly visiting him. We already knew AIDS was not as contagious as people feared, so we happily hugged him and ate with him. He was a homosexual. He was a family friend. That latter point weighed far more than the former point did. Back then, I was a Christian as I still am today. He understood clearly that I did not approve of his lifestyle, but I was still his friend, and he was mine.

Near the end, I was able to give him a gospel message, and in the last few weeks of his life he became a Christian like me. My time with him in those last few months was precious, and through him I learned a lot about myself, life, and my God, for it was not my stone heart, but my heart of flesh, that compelled me through God’s love to follow God’s commands, to love your neighbor, even your enemy, as yourself.

It was in spite of me that God blessed this man through me, just as surely as it will be in spite of you that you will do the same, if you haven’t already (and most of you probably have similar stories to tell).

While my friend had to face people rejecting him, people being bigoted towards him (and far beyond committing “micro-aggressions”), he also had us. And most of my friends back then were like us. It was OK to say you believe in certain things and disagree with others, but when it comes to doing life together, you still had to be decent and kind to everyone. The spirit of “mind your own business” was still strong in these American streets.

Being transgendered doesn’t make you a trans ideologue. THIS is where the psychosis comes from, NOT from transgenderism in and of itself. The trans ideology imposes conformity, celebrates transness and vilifies “cis-gendered” people (which is 95 plus percent of humanity). The trans ideology, not transgenderism, is as psychotic as Nazism, and has the same outcome, it produces serial killers, people who shoot up schools, churches, and even hockey games.

Their vision for society could not happen without canceling the entirety of the Judeo-Christian way of life and civilizational paradigm. It would mean the corrupting of children as official policy in every school. It is mentally destabilizing and dangerous.

Transgendered people do not necessarily embrace the current extremist version of trans ideology (especially not the older ones), but when they do, they become ticking time bombs. Just as people feared all gays would give them AIDS, now people fear all transgendered people will become violently deranged and shoot the place up.

The response from the Trans Ideologues to credible concerns about the ideology has been to accuse people of being bigots, transphobes, worthy of economic assassination, for even expressing concern at this growing violent trend (on the margins of extreme violence, but not overall). These accusations are tiring, and only serve at this point to harden hearts against ALL transgendered people.

If you truly hated transgendered people, you’d want the Trans Ideologues to continue to respond to critique just the way they have, knowing they are winning converts over to your own dark ideology of unrighteous and anti-American hate.

Their reactions make it appear to be more of a cover-up and a way to shame people rather than a good faith effort to address the underlying fears.

It is a denial of reality to say that back in the 80s gay people weren’t more likely to get AIDS, and that getting AIDS was most likely a death sentence; therefore, it was not paranoia or bigotry that led Americans to believe AIDS was something to avoid.

People had a legitimate fear that they might catch this. It was irrational when it became “all gays” and when people thought merely shaking someone’s hand or hugging a person could give you AIDS. It became more and more irrational as evidence piled up showing AIDS wasn’t so contagious, and as treatment for AIDS became more effective.

As a sidenote, we do understand the dark history of the “development” of treatment for AIDS and how it ties to Dr. Anthony Fauci, but we’ll save that rabbit hole for another time.

It is also a denial of reality to say that the extremist version of trans ideology doesn’t exist, and that transgendered people are NOT more drawn to it than anyone else. It is not transphobic to acknowledge this ideology causes real harm, which includes leading trans ideologues to target heterosexuals, especially kids, for assassination.

That fear becomes irrational, and maybe transphobic, when you start to think every trans person is out to kill you, or even that EVERY trans person is a trans ideologue (not even the majority are) or that EVERY trans person is psychotic (crime statistics, outside of the extreme category of mass murder, do not back up such claims).

Some ideologies are inherently evil, like Nazism and Communism. There are no good nazis or communists. But there are good transgendered people. There are good religious people. I mean good in an American sense, not in a Christian sense (in that sense, none of us are good, Psalm 53).

The modern trans ideology being pushed by the corporate world, entertainment, and education institutions, and by every HR department, is inherently evil, but it isn’t the predominant ideology of transgendered people. There are far more “cis-gendered” adherents to this ideology than transgendered ones.

I think a perfect litmus test is to ask someone if they think people who refuse to use alternative pronouns should be canceled or even punished by the law. Anyone who says yes to that might just be a ticking time bomb and a real danger you need to avoid.

If someone cannot simply agree that there are only two natural genders and all else is a social construct, they are on the spectrum toward the trans ideology and could become a danger to society.

Most transgendered people are not trying to force you to comply with their alternative ideas on sex, sexuality, and gender, they just want you to respect their beliefs and treat them as a human being. Seeing another transgendered shooting should not be the basis for hating transgendered people any more than watching Roots, a mini-series about the REAL hell of American slavery, should make you hate all white people.

We should be aware that some ideologies are inherently dangerous but also, we should be aware that radical ideologies that may champion a group are rarely ever followed by most people in that group. Some versions of Christian Nationalism, for instance, claim to champion Christianity but most all Christians reject these ideologies.

Unless you want to outlaw my dissent from the idea that gender can be a social construct, I’m fine with you being what you see as your authentic self. If you act in that ideological militancy, I’m just going to avoid you and consider you a potential hazard to others.

In times of upheaval, the fear of the other winning leads us to make our neighbors (the transgendered person) our enemies (the trans ideologue), and our enemies an “other” we are exempt from loving, exempt from still seeing as humans.

Be wise, be awake, carry two swords, but remember to love your neighbor as yourself, even if they’re your enemy. If we can resist the temptation Satan has set before us, to lead us to hate the whole of humanity by first hating our transgendered neighbors, we as a people can get through this dark valley to the other side, where dry bones will come to life and our land will be revitalized with hope.

The transgendered person has become a bellwether for our own hate, our own love. What comes next will follow as a result of the spirit we allow this time to create for us. Love breaks the cycle of violence, hatred of the other (not hatred of sin, which is good and righteous) keeps it going.

Let us love in truth, not hate in fear.

“… the state cannot take authority over men that God himself has chosen not to. Free will must be preserved lest you be spitting into the face of God.” – Paul Gordon Collier

“Mr. Speaker, in 1848, Karl Marx said, a progressive income tax is needed to transfer wealth and power to the state. Thus, Marx’s Communist Manifesto had as its major economic tenet a progressive income tax. Think about it, 1848 Karl Marx, Communism…. I say it is time to replace the progressive income tax with a national retail sales tax, and it is time to abolish the IRS, my colleagues. I yield back all the rules, regulations, fear, and intimidation of our current system.”James Traficant, former Democrat U.S. representative, one of the last American Democrats to serve in congress (maybe Senator John Fetterman of PA is the last?)

I had originally planned on listening to the “competing” Halftime Shows of this year’s Superbowl, the championship game of America’s premiere professional sport, football, and that sports’ premiere football league, the NFL (National Football League).

My original intention was to analyze the content of each performance, with the TPUSA halftime show taking up the space of “America” and the Bad Bunny OFFICIAL halftime show representing Progmerica (which the NFL also represents).

The fact that the Bad Bunny songs were all in Spanish made that last part a bit of a challenge. The fact that, even if you remove the political context completely, I have no interest to listen to the types of music being played in either halftime show, sealed my decision. I could not bring myself to watch the totality of either show. Therefore, I won’t be talking too specifically about the content of each show, but rather about the bellwether elements of both shows as they represent the zeitgeist of America today.

First of all, right from the start, the felt NEED for conservatives to have their own halftime show reveals the existential divide in this land between those who embrace the progressive nation and those who refuse to bend their knee to it.

The NFL highlighted that divide, as they have done again and again, by having TWO “national” anthems, one for the POC (Person of Color, the High Priests of Progmerica, the progressive nation) and one for the country they hate, the American nation.

They performed the American anthem not because they wanted to, but because they had to. They understand that Progmerica has risen from within America, that it has hijacked America’s symbols and terminology, and converted them into something wholly and completely unamerican, though Progmerica cannot as of yet stand on its own until the legal definition of America changes (and they’re working on that).

The word racism is the bellwether of their tactics. It is a word that is born from America’s rightly felt guilt for sub humanizing the African race and allowing them to be legally bought and sold as property. It is a word that helped us understand the nature of our sin, our willingness to sub humanize the other, and conquer the possible fatal flaw of our constitution, that it began with a wild hypocrisy.

As a matter of fact, our ideal of the divine right of self-stewardship is what made American slavery so vicious. Having a principle that protected ALL HUMANS from the tyranny of the state that JUSTIFIES that state’s very authority meant either slavery had to die, or the black man had to become a gorilla, or worse (anything but human).

The NFL has taken to use its space as political agit prop, and the Superbowl was no exception, though thankfully the NFL’s most violent slogan wasn’t used, “End Racism.” Instead, they chose the Motte in opposition to rounding up illegal aliens with “Choose Love” and “It Takes All of Us,” leaving out the violent looting Bailey, the fact that those who support the illegal aliens do so at the expense of their neighbors, who aren’t’ given a choice as to whether or not they want to sacrifice their wealth (and their lives, in many instances, especially the lives of their children) for the benefit of foreigners.

They are not advocating love, they are using the word love in replacement of what they REALLY support, CONQUEST. This is the punishment of the haves at the benefit of the have-nots, with the ultimate haves being WHITE American citizens, and the have nots being the poor POC from the “Global South,” their new victim class shield they’ve been developing these last few years.

Yet those slogans were nowhere near as bad as the slogan “End Racism” if you understand how the NFL terms racism. This bears taking a bit of a detour before we get back to our main point, because it clarifies the spirit of the NFL even better than the Superbowl Halftime show did (it also helps explain how an “American” institution could make such anti-American choices).

I asked Grok how the NFL defines racism, and in that answer Grok revealed it’s just as racist in its assumptions as the NFL is. Grok summarized its report to me with this paragraph:

“The NFL aligns its stance with recognizing both individual prejudice and systemic/institutional forms of racism, as seen in condemnations of discriminatory practices (e.g., hiring biases, racial tropes, or policies disadvantaging Black players/employees). This mirrors broader contemporary understandings (e.g., post-2020 dictionary updates emphasizing systemic oppression and power imbalances), but the league frames it through commitments to equality, inclusion, diversity, and anti-discrimination policies rather than a precise dictionary-style definition.”

I asked Grok what the definition of racism is post-2020, and it revealed dictionary definitions that don’t go as far as progressive definitions, but most of these definitions prepare the ground for them. They also don’t contradict the progressive definitions.

The closest they come to the progressive definition is in Merriam-Webster, which makes “racism” social, not individual, calling it “the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another.” That definition is JUST about where the progressive definition is, the one that would be used by Progmerica.

Grok did tell me, “The prevailing definition of racism in major American dictionaries today (as of February 2026) emphasizes both individual beliefs/prejudice and systemic or institutional aspects, reflecting updates made around 2020 in response to evolving usage.”

Let’s make this clear, this isn’t evolving usage, it’s nudging. The dictionaries aren’t reflective of common usage, they’re reflecting Academia’s WILL for common usage. They’re engaging in political information terrorist action intended to overthrow America’s justification for existence, INDIVIDUAL justice, not SOCIAL justice.

There is no individual racism definition in the progressive lexicon. Grok’s answer on what the progressive academic definition of racism is reveals EXACTLY what racism is to Progmericans, living while being white.

Grok wrote, “The prevailing definition of racism in progressive academic scholarship – particularly in fields like sociology, education, critical race theory (CRT), ethnic studies, and anti-racism activism-centers on racism as a systemic phenomenon rather than merely individual prejudice or hatred. This view, dominant since the late 20th century and especially post-2010s in progressive circles, often frames racism through variations of ‘prejudice plus power’ (or ‘power + prejudice,’ sometimes stylized as R = P + P) …

Racism requires the combination of such prejudice with social, institutional, or structural power to enforce it systemically, resulting in oppression, unequal outcomes, and advantage for the dominant racial group (typically white people in Western contexts) …

It is a system of advantage/oppression based on race, often described as a ‘white supremacy system’ or hierarchy that benefits whiteness at the expense of people of color.”

If you walk out that definition, you realize the ONLY PEOPLE CAPABLE of being racist are white people in America, and the progressive will tell you the white man can’t HELP but be racist (since they invented racism in the first place, according to Progmericans), perpetually.

When the NFL puts out that label on their endzones, “End Racism,” they are creating a violent heuristic against the white race, engaging in ACTUAL systemic racism, by sending the subtle message “End the White Race,” because, to the progressive, so long as the white race lives, so does evil.

The NFL also represents the tactic of a virus that invades a cell, clones its structures, but uses them to attack the body itself. It’s red-white-and-blue American shield remains unchanged, but the principles of the league are no longer American. The NFL was an American institution, born from American values, coopted by progressives who turned the vehicle of power that is the NFL, the richest sports league in the world, bar none, and turned it into a violent vehicle of power intended to overthrow the very country that gave birth to it.

This brings us back to the Superbowl Halftime Show.

Building an American answer to the Progmericans’ hijacked NFL (the national part is Progmerican, not American anymore) is impossible, especially because many Americans, including this writer, still enjoy NFL games (though this might be the last straw for me at this point). But building an alternative to the NFL’s halftime show is NOT impossible ESPECIALLY if you have a central rallying point, which Americans thought they did in TPUSA.

We thought we had an American rallying point in Donald Trump as well, though this writer never fully supported that assumption. TPUSA is a perfect symbol of the type of power President Trump truly represents, thin Americanism, which is no real Americanism at all.

The headliner for the TPUSA halftime show was a talent-broke has-been named Kid Rock who has revitalized his dead career making thin pandering “Murica” songs that exploit hot headlines. His songs are built to make money now and never be played again (and I doubt 50 years from now ANY of the songs he wrote in this era will be remembered by anyone).

Kid Rock contrasted against Bad Bunny, a man who has genuine fans and real talent. Bad Bunny’s music isn’t remotely my cup of tea, but my gauge of the culture is he is respected as a real talent, an innovator in his genre. Kid Rock has none of that cultural power, and justifiably so.

As a result of this halftime show, Bad Bunny has a lot of political fans now as well, like Kid Rock, people who would otherwise not like his music one iota but now see it as a social power signal that needs boosted by their public displays of fandom.

Bad Bunny put a middle finger up to America and called it “love.” He sang in Spanish to symbolize the eventual conquering of white America by the global south. He did this as an American citizen, which makes this treasonous in spirit, at the very least.  I doubt Bad Bunny understands this is essentially what he did, heuristically, for he’s more an instrument of propaganda than the actual propagandists are.

Kid Rock lied to his audience right from the start by letting them believe he was performing live when he later revealed his performance was prerecorded and parts of it were even lip-synced. Hearing snippets of his songs, I heard what I expected, cartoon-simple chord progressions designed for cliched emotional effects, with lyrics a 10-year-old child of average intelligence could write.

He didn’t create art, he created art-like structures designed to give his political supporters enough suspension of disbelief that this is an art they are purchasing because they enjoy it and not what it really is, AI-music-level quality slop they’ve purchased to own the progressives at the benefit to only Kid Rock and his bank account.

I listened to excerpts of Bad Bunny’s performance, and, while it isn’t my cup of tea, I recognize art, craft, excellence in his work I doubt I will ever see again in Kid Rock’s.

The halftime shows were competing social power signals that were followed up by pushes to sell the songs connected to the shows. Kid Rock “won” that race, allegedly, and made tens of thousands of dollars (or more) I am sure will be used to fight Progmericans (note the sarcasm I intend in this sentence).

TPUSA is leaning into the cartoon-simple Murica spirit to grift off the well-meaning Americans who somehow believe if we get more views on our low-quality halftime show we will beat the progressives. If Kid Rock outsells Bad Bunny and outranks him on the music charts, AMERICA WINS, only it doesn’t. For every TPUSA halftime show viewing, the heuristic is being sent to the viewer who saw both, Progmerica is more real than America.

As a result, America’s credibility continues to decline as young people can clearly see Progmericans offer art and Americans offer Kid Rock, only Kid Rock and TPUSA are only as American as Donald Trump, which is “just barely,” and “not enough to end Progmerica.”

While TPUSA had a stage and a few dancers with the performers, Progmerica had a grand epic stage with a cast of thousands working in complex, organized, aesthetically pleasing harmonies with one another. One was slapped together; one took months to perfect. To the young, Progmerica offers a better future.

The problem as I see it is progressivism is the default moral code of MOST PEOPLE in America, including self-identifying conservatives, and DEFINITELY among self-identifying MAGAs. The most powerful counters to Progmerica today are progressive-Americans at best. Few self-stewarded Americans have any real power in this land today.

While they intellectually value individual liberty, individual rights, they operate under social justice moralities all the time. Think of how President Trump is ready to ban ALL Somalis from coming to America because of what’s going on in Minnesota. This is social justice, not American justice.

American justice would mean we assess individuals based on their individual experiences, not their social identities. President Trump is a social justice warrior, in part, though unlike Progmericans he walks more inconsistently in that he still also genuinely acts in an American justice spirit as well, as does TPUSA.

The reason for this is few people in this country fully understand what Americanism is, why it’s being threatened as a bridging standard for diverse peoples with unity, and what might be done to restore this bridging standard. Individual liberty was justified by the shared belief that an external creator has limited the power of the state to respect that creator’s sacred creations the way the creator intended.

The sacred creations are us, and self-stewardship is what the creator endows in all of us (grants us, allows us). This is free will, this is so men come to Christ consensually in love, not as automatons responding the only way they can.

This is the heart of our unity, and without it, Progmerica is fully unbounded and unmasked, and America and all its symbols will be burned, blown up, and buried, her history erased, her people forgotten (should the Progmerican project come into full fruition).

These battling Superbowl Halftime shows reveal the paltry state of America and what Americans’ next tactics should be to attempt to stem the tide of the ready-to-burst Progmerican nation that has been gestating within us for the last 100 plus years.

Americans are un-stewarded in their beliefs and thus are unaware of the progressive spirits that guide their thoughts. Progmericans can sense the time is soon for them to fully throw off the old cell their virus hijacked, and openly declare this land their own, come what may, for they may never have the chance they have now to make that happen.

COUNT THE COST OF YOUR BELIEF! Be Self-Stewarded:

‘“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and COUNT THE COST, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’”- Luke 14:26-30

The concentration of oppositional power is currently in the hands of grifting opportunists like TPUSA and narcissistic madmen like Donald Trump, who equates American greatness with material bounty, not spiritual soundness that binds authority, so the individual does not disappear in the social.

If you agree with that assessment, then you might agree that it is time for Americans to give up the institutions (for now) they cannot duplicate, including the ones that only Progressive-infested “conservatives” can duplicate. Sponsoring the pallid progressive-American imitations only supports Progmerica in the end.

It’s time for Americans to recognize what “social justice” really means so they can understand when they hear it in the mouths of conservatives like Trump, who slips into social justice spirits all the time.

Ideally, the Holy Spirit delivers us through a great revival of the fear and love of the Lord. This miraculous delivery would preserve Americanism under the previous justification, that the state cannot take authority over men that God himself has chosen not to. Free will must be preserved lest you be spitting into the face of God.

Outside of that, our bridging standard can only be justified pragmatically, amongst competing groups that agree they will limit their efforts to make their neighbors in their own image in exchange for being allowed to openly be wrong in public space. This agreement can only be made among groups that have no mandate to use violence to win converts or punish the unbeliever. It cannot include the groups that cannot come to this agreement.

We should remove ourselves from fellowships from groups and individuals that reject our Americanism, in whole or in part (as TPUSA and Trump do) and seek out fellowships with groups and individuals brave enough to allow themselves to lose a fair war of ideas against their neighbor.

This means we simply must sacrifice our pleasures, our joys that cannot be met by Americans. This includes America’s college and NFL football entertainment, for both are now vehicles of power of Progmerica, enemies of our republic, a republic that still lives within the hearts of we remaining Americans.

We cannot give up necessities provided by Progmericans or Progressive Americans, but we CAN give up the pleasures, the joys they alone provide us.

Bad Bunny and Kid Rock are competing for personal power disguised as causal power. They are both exploiting emotions, but Bad Bunny is providing the better product because, in part, his art is aligned with his Progmerican values while Kid Rock walks in both Progmerica and America, equally, completely oblivious to his un-stewarded habits of being that operate in progressive values, not American ones.

Neither man represents the rock of Americanism, individual liberty, but the Progmericans are TRUER to themselves than the “Americans” are, and as such are bound to produce a better product. Passion alone makes them better. They are both bad rocks performing bad rock (with Kid Rock’s being far worse).

This is not to say there aren’t Americans out there producing great art reflective of self-stewarded American values, it’s only to say that these Americans have been frozen out of the top slots of entertainment power by the Progmericans on one side, and the Kid Rockians on the other side, the progressive Americans (which are BARELY American at all).

The United Kingdom’s Department of Education is set to issue guidelines for transitioning children to genders of their choosing. The current draft reveals the department plans on allowing schools to “socially transition” children as young as four. The policy “acknowledged that there is a lack of good evidence on the long-term impact of social transition on young people, but it is clear that social transition should be viewed as an active intervention that may have significant effects on the child or young person in terms of their psychological functioning and longer-term outcomes.”

Maya Forstater of the biological-sex human rights group Sex Matters, responded to the report, stating “Schools are still being left with the idea that they can facilitate ‘social transition’ – which remains undefined – and that they should negotiate this on a case-by-case basis. They are being encouraged to think that children have a ‘birth sex’ as well as some other concept of sex. This has no basis in law or reality, and undermines safeguarding. It should be clear by now that allowing children and parents to think that a child who starts their education as a girl can graduate as a boy or vice versa is a dangerous fairy tale.”

Blurb:


(LifeSiteNews) – The  lasted draft of the UK Department of Education’s long-awaited student safety guidance waters down its gender confusion policy to the point that children as young as four could be ‘socially transitioned’ under certain circumstances.

The 201-page document covers many classroom issues, but its second, which pertains to gender, appears at first to be rooted in reality. It states that schools “must not allow pupils into toilets, changing rooms, or boarding or residential accommodation designated for the opposite sex, with no exceptions”; “pupils must not be allowed to participate in sports designated for the opposite sex”; schools “should not initiate any action regarding social transition”; and schools must respect the “leading role” of parents and carers in such decisions. 

“Schools and colleges should consider everything that could be affecting a child, including whether they have any wider health issues or neurodiversity,” the policy states and notes that National Health Service (NHS) England’s 2024 Cass Review “acknowledged that there is a lack of good evidence on the long-term impact of social transition on young people, but it is clear that social transition should be viewed as an active intervention that may have significant effects on the child or young person in terms of their psychological functioning and longer-term outcomes.”

However, while urging primary schools to exercise “particular caution,” the document also leaves the door open for such schools to transition very young children, stating “we would expect support for full social transition to be agreed very rarely. The Cass Review acknowledges that older children will generally have greater agency to make their own decisions. Maintaining flexibility and keeping children’s options open will help to avoid a child feeling they are under pressure to commit to a potentially irrevocable pathway when they are young.”

The Daily Mail reports that the latest draft has been significantly watered down by Labour leaders from the version previously drafted by the formerly ruling Conservative Party, which had prohibited the changing of gender pronouns in primary schools, limited the changing of pronouns in secondary schools to “very few occasions,” and protected teachers and students’ right to refuse to use transgender pronouns.

Despite such weaknesses, the BBC notes that the guidance has the support of Cass Review leader Dr. Hilary Cass. She called it a “huge step in the right direction” that “reflects the recommendations of my review, giving schools much-needed clarity on their legal duties so they can support children with confidence.” She emphasized its support for parental involvement and expressed confidence that “proceeding with a social transition is going to be very much the exception, rather than the rule.”

Others disagree. “Primary school children should not be navigating changes in pronouns at all. But, shockingly, Labour’s guidance opens the door to children as young as four being referred to in a way that does not reflect their biological sex,” declared Tory education spokesperson Laura Trott

“Schools are still being left with the idea that they can facilitate ‘social transition’ – which remains undefined – and that they should negotiate this on a case-by-case basis,” argued Maya Forstater of the biological-sex human rights group Sex Matters. “They are being encouraged to think that children have a ‘birth sex’ as well as some other concept of sex. This has no basis in law or reality, and undermines safeguarding. It should be clear by now that allowing children and parents to think that a child who starts their education as a girl can graduate as a boy or vice versa is a dangerous fairy tale.”

A large body of evidence shows that “affirming” gender confusion carries serious harms, especially when done with impressionable children who lack the mental development, emotional maturity, and life experience to consider the long-term ramifications of the decisions being pushed on them, or full knowledge about the long-term effects of life-altering, physically-transformative, and often-irreversible surgical and chemical procedures.

Studies find that more than 80% of children experiencing gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence, and that even full “reassignment” surgery often fails to resolve gender-confused individuals’ heightened tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide — and may even exacerbate it, including by reinforcing their confusion and neglecting the actual root causes of their mental strife.

Many oft-ignored detransitioners, individuals who attempted transitioning before regretting it and returning to life as their true sex, attest to the physical and mental harm of reinforcing gender confusion, as well as to the bias and negligence of the medical establishment on the subject, many of whom take an activist approach to their profession and begin cases with a predetermined conclusion that “transitioning” is the best solution.

Alabama has just joined 22 other states in opposing the 2023 FDA decision that allowed a deadly drug designed to terminate the unborn to be purchased over the counter, and even through the mail. The drug has already been used by men to murder unborn children against the mother’s will.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said, “This rule is unlawful, plain and simple. The Biden FDA eliminated critical safety safeguards, authorized the mailing of abortion drugs in direct conflict with federal law, and empowered out-of-state providers to violate the laws of pro-life States. After Dobbs returned abortion policy to the States, the Biden administration attempted to override that decision through executive action. We are standing with Louisiana to defend state sovereignty, enforce the law, and protect unborn life.”

22 States Fight Biden Rule Allowing Mail-Order Abortions – lifenews.com

Alabama has joined 21 States in filing a brief in support of Louisiana’s lawsuit challenging a Biden-era rule that expanded access to abortion drugs through mail and telehealth, despite contrary state laws.

The case challenges a 2023 Food and Drug Administration action that removed long-standing safeguards on the chemical abortion drug mifepristone and allowed doctors in one State to prescribe abortion pills to patients in another. The States’ brief argues that the rule unlawfully overrides state laws protecting unborn life and intrudes on States’ sovereign authority following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs.

INTRODUCTION

Canada was struck with the news of a mass shooting that left 8 victims dead, and scores more injured. The dead included five students from the location of the second part of the mass shooting, Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, near Vancouver, Canada.

The shooter would then turn the gun on himself.

The motive for the shooting, so far, remains unclear. The shooter, Jesse van Rootselaar, was originally reported as a female shooter, but it would later be revealed “she” was a male presenting as a female.

It might turn out the motive for the shooting had nothing to do with the shooter’s transgenderism, but we suggest you could rightly assume it had something to do with it, though we would not recommend you make that conclusion until more information comes out (which might have by the time this report is published).

For this bellwether analysis, we want to look at this event in the context of Canada’s current governing spirit. We will bracket off the motive. What we want to consider is the promise Canada has offered to Canadians, that if they lay down their arms and shut their mouths in submission to the state orthodoxy, their lives will be safe from hate. Lose your guns, lose your tongues, and you will be safer.

They gave up Christ in the public square in part to protect the very person that murdered their children.

A. THE DETAILS

On February 10, 2026, 18-year-old Jesse van Rootselaar kicked off a killing spree in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. He killed his mother and his stepbrother at his residence, with a young female relative escaping. She ran to a neighbor to seek help, who then alerted the police. The shooting happened at 2:20PM. The police did not arrive until 15 minutes later.

While the police were going to the residence, Rootselaar was on his way to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, with a shotgun and a modified handgun. The school is a gun-free zone. There was no armed security. There were no armed teachers.

By the time the Rootselaar arrived at the school it was 2:30PM, just 10 minutes after he killed his mother and stepbrother. The shooting was reported at 2:32 PM, another team of officers arrived two minutes later. By the time the officers who were called to his residence arrived, he was already dead in the school.

Rootselaar would have just 4 minutes to do his worst. His victims were powerless to stop him. The police were also powerless to stop him. By the time they arrived, Rootselaar was already dead by suicide, but so were six others, one adult teacher and five students (three females and two males aged 12-17). Along with the dead were 27 more injured, mostly students.

The motivation for the killings is not clear, but Rootselaar has a years-long history of causing disturbances at his home, some of which involved firearms. At one point, law enforcement confiscated the weapons, but later returned them after a petition was started. The firearms do not appear to be owned by Rootselaar, however.

Rootselaar began the process of “transitioning” to a “female” four to six years ago (we have conflicting information on this point), at the age of 13. He was on anti-psychotic drugs, in addition to transitioning drugs at the time of the shooting. His transgendered status was concealed from the public as long as it could be by both the Canadian government and the international corporatist press.

While the motive is not clear, the presence of anti-psychotic drugs in the shooter has become a tragically well-earned trope of mass shootings that this event follows as well. His transgenderism as a factor is ambiguous, though one wonders if the transgender “solution” was masking a much deeper problem transitioning only made worse (as this writer suspects is happening a lot in the age of trans mania).

B. THE IMMEDIATE REPORTING

We asked Grok to give us the headlines that were immediately shared by the international corporatist press after the shooting, and Grok’s answer revealed these cherry-picked headlines:

  • CBC News: “10 dead, including suspect, following shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • The Globe and Mail: “Ten killed, including suspect, in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.”
  • Vancouver Sun: “LIVE: Nine dead, 27 injured in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • National Post: “Canada in shock after one of the country’s worst mass shootings
  • CTV News: “C. RCMP give an update in their investigation into a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • BBC News: “At least seven dead after school shooting in British Columbia, Canada, police say
  • The Guardian: “Canada shooting: 10 dead including suspect in attack on Tumbler Ridge high school, police say

All of these answers provided a pretty generic telling of the event, but what Grok gave me was not indicative of the REAL spirit international corporatist media chose to operate within.

After these headlines, Grok started listing headlines acknowledging the shooter was transgendered. Grok would leave one with the impression the international corporatist media acted responsibly, with no political agenda. However, that was not reality; we believe that was programming protecting the disenfranchised class over simply answering a question truthfully.

Here are some of the headlines we found when we did time-based searches:

  • Collingwood Today – “‘Beyond devastating’: 10 dead, including female suspect, in B.C. school shooting
  • MSN – “10 dead, including female suspect, in ‘devastating’ shootings at BC school and home.”
  • MSN – “Female Identified as Suspect in Worst Canada School Shooting in Decades That Killed 10 and Injured at Least 25
  • Reuters – “Ten dead, including female suspect, after Canada school shooting – as it happened

A Royal Mounted Police officer at a press conference just after the shooting referred to the shooter as a “woman.”

C. THE BACKGROUND

We have created a special news tag in our aggregation process called “Canada Soviet” to tag all the stories that cover Canada’s lurch into authoritarianism. A trans person in Canada has more personal power as a normal private citizen than most people have in America today. A trans person in Canada cannot have their identity challenged. A trans person in Canada can destroy competition with a false accusation that won’t dare be challenged lest the challenger face hate speech charges.

You can call Christ the devil in public, but you can’t call abortion murder.

As for guns, Canada has effectively criminalized gun defense, along with most gun possessions. The shooter violated Canada’s gun laws, yet was able to accomplish his dark deed, nonetheless.

  1. LEGAL TRANS PRIVILEGE – In June of 2017 Canada introduced the now-famous bill C-16, which launched psychologist Jordan Peterson into the stratosphere as he stood as one of the few Canadians warning against the intolerance pregnant in this bill.

The bill was an amendment to Canada’s Orwellian-named Human Rights Act, which sought to limit liberty in the name of protecting the disenfranchised from being insulted in public. This amendment added “gender identity or expression” as a protected expression that ALL Canadians must comply with, regardless of whether they believed men could become women or not.

The Criminal Code already protected certain groups from what it calls “hate propaganda.” This bill added transgenders to that protected class. In other words, it de facto ennobled the transgender class as a protected class that should no longer be expected to hear opinions that invalidated their assertions that a man could become a woman, a woman could be a man, or that genders even existed at all. If they said it, you better parrot it, end stop.

In January 2022, a bill that was passed in 2021 took effect, Bill C-4. That bill made it illegal to attempt to persuade anyone, including children, that they should be heterosexual or “cis” gendered (a pejorative attempting to both vilify conventional binary gender constructions and invalidate them).

The fact that the bill included a phrase most humans would consider hate speech at this point, “cis gendered” shows the futility in allowing the state to define what “hate” is (as if hate, in and of itself, is a bad thing, unless you want to argue that hating murder is evil).

These are the two major acts, though provinces and local governments have their own “protections” for the ennobled trans class (except in the case of Alberta, which seems to be fighting back against the ennobled trans class).

ED. NOTE: While we join our readers in their concern over “trans mania,” we hold the view that some people might very well need transgender “therapy.” We also want to make it clear the evidence for the rise in trans violence is ambiguous. The majority of transgendered people should not be stigmatized by the minority ‘bad actors.’ We believe in individual justice, not social justice, and that applies to transgendered people as well.

2. ANTI-GUN LAWS – Canada has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the nation. It began in 1995, one year before the UK began the process of surrendering their guns.

The Firearms Act of 1995 added a host of new requirements for gun ownership, which included licensing, background checks, safety training, and rules that effectively made it illegal to use your gun to defend yourself in your own home (outside of the most bizarre circumstances).

The only non-restricted weapons Canadians can currently own are bolt-action rifles and pump action shotguns. Any weapon capable of semi-automatic firing is highly restricted or prohibited altogether.

In 2022, Canada’s Bill C-21 took effect, which put a freeze on the sale, purchase, transfer, or import of handguns. It also ended ALL conceal carry for civilians, with some limited open carry allowances which basically allowed Canadians to hunt with their non-semi-automatic long guns.

While an unidentified adult in his household was legally able to possess the firearms the shooter used to kill 8 people, the shooter was not. The shooter violated multiple gun laws, appeared to use limited-action firearms (still unconfirmed), and was yet able to kill 8 people and himself in the span of 14 minutes, and that included the time it took him to get to the school from his residence.

  1. ANTI-SPEECH LAWS – During our research, we used Grok to search for Canada’s anti-speech laws. Grok began its results for me with this dystopian, unreal statement: “Freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a fundamental freedom under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (part of the Constitution Act, 1982). This includes freedom of thought, belief, opinion, expression, and the press and other media of communication.”

What followed next was a complete disconnect from that opening statement.

Grok would “clarify,” not realizing (or being allowed to realize) that this next statement wholly invalidates the first one and makes Grok read like an Orwellian propagandist delivering the new definitions of the day and the new list of friends and enemies.

Grok “clarified,” “However, these rights are not absolute. Section 1 of the Charter allows ‘reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.’ Courts apply the Oakes test to assess such limits, requiring the objective to be pressing/substantial, the means rationally connected and minimally impairing, and the benefits outweighing the harm.”

Grok also buried the lead. In 1985, C-46 was passed, which created a new Criminal Code called “Hate Propaganda and Related Offences.” This bill was challenged in the courts where it was “validated” by their Supreme Court on numerous cases, the two key ones being R. v. Keegstra (1990) and Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott (2013).

Here are some of the vaguer, and thus more disturbing parts of the criminal code (from Grok):

Section 319(1): Public incitement of hatred – Communicating statements in a public place that incite hatred against an identifiable group where likely to lead to a breach of the peace (up to 2 years).

Section 319(2): Wilful promotion of hatred – Communicating statements (other than in private conversation) that wilfully promote hatred against an identifiable group (up to 2 years). Defences include truth, public interest discussion, good faith religious opinion (under subsection 319(3)(b)), and good faith belief on religious grounds.

Section 319(2.1): Wilful promotion of antisemitism – Specifically condoning, denying, or downplaying the Holocaust (added in recent amendments; up to 2 years).

Had the shooter lived, he might “enjoy” the “extra” protections his ennobled class might soon receive should Bill C-9 pass. This bill hopes to remove religious exemptions from speech restrictions, as well as add new offenses for displaying hate symbols. It also seeks to eliminate the need for the Attorney General to consent to speech violation prosecutions. In other words, they want more people to be subject to their thought control, and they want to make it EASIER to prosecute them.

D. BELLWETHER ANALYSIS

  1. NOTE: This is a new feature we have created. Unlike a PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS, this type of analysis is about understanding the context of the “present,” not predicting what might come next. Unlike a SUMMARY, it is not simply a synthesis of the facts as a review, it is an analysis of the spirit of the whole event as a bellwether.

A somewhat simplistic, but mostly accurate timeline of events will show the kernel of Wokeness was most closely created by the Frankfurt School starting in the early 20s. The kernel of wokeness was born in Europe.

Under the label, “critical theory,” the notion of social justice over economic justice began to emerge. By the 60s, American leftists decided to exploit that path, having realized capitalism wasn’t going to collapse anytime soon, and, unlike their predictions, was continuing to offer greater prosperity to more people in society than communism ever did (or would).

Wokeness, long before we used the term, was infiltrating American academia, which in turn spread its wokeness to other nations. As it infiltrated direct government power, the American state began to export wokeness to the rest of the world. They offered cash to the compliant and interference (to put it mildly) to the non-compliant.

Unfortunately for Canada, they got our wokeness in spades. As our next-door neighbor, Canada was most affected by the U.S.’s new woke promotions.

In America, the battle for the spirit of the land continues, with wokeness currently taking major hits (but hardly dead). In other countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia, wokeness has ended their status as a traditional Western “democratic” power. There is no free speech in any of these lands.

Wokeness may have started in Europe, but America gave it international strength, poisoning the rest of the world with an ideology that hates its citizens. Yet, America is still holding out while the others seem to have fallen (at least for now).

Why is that? It is because America’s right to rule is based on the premise that we are endowed by an authority outside the state with certain rights, rights that enable us to define and choose our own paths to happiness and prosperity.

Canada and Australia are no longer directly under the rule of the British crown, so the monarchy does not justify their rule. For these two countries, the right to rule is from “popular sovereignty,” the approval of the people, which is just mob rule with extra steps if that is your own right to rule principle.

In Britian, the monarch is the final authority, not God, so there are no absolute restrictions on government power.

Canada, Australia, and Britain all quickly gutted the public of guns starting around the same time, the late 90s, as it became apparent that technology was beginning to advantage small-scale resistance over large-scale conquest.

After the guns fell, the tongue followed behind, in all three countries, with Canada and the UK fighting neck-and-neck to be the most Soviet western nation of them all.

Now, here Canadians sit, having been promised security in exchange for surrendering dangerous freedom but getting neither. They sit in a world in which the press and the government must lie about the basic facts of a shooter to protect a special class of people from free tongues, enslaving all, including the special class (which are now desperately dependent on the state to protect them from mean thoughts, a protection they’ve been propagandized to militantly expect).

The “security” through disarming your neighbors’ guns and tongues has made Canada fundamentally less safe than it was before. A madman grew up among them, indulged by the system, protected from reality (you have a mental illness, you’re not a girl), and medically conditioned to be predisposed to even greater psychotic breaks with reality.

While children’s bodies were yet cold, the “authorities” were doubling down on the toxic lie that this boy was a girl. They were probably more frightened of the authorities sending them to jail for violating the psychotic safe space of transgendered people than they were of anything that happened at that school.

This bellwether event shows what happens when a government is too afraid of its citizens to let them have the tools to defend their children from a 4-minute execution by a mentally ill child indulged by the same system that took Canadians’ guns away. They created the beast and they disarmed its victims.

For we Americans, this should compel us even more to resist any effort to confiscate our guns. Vast swathes of American land are occupied by Progmerican overlords who seek to do to us what Canada has done to its citizens, disarm us while they raise beasts to kill us.

“If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the Lord speaks, that will I speak? And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”-

Numbers 24:13-14

INTRODUCTION

Just as we were wrapping up our monthly MIA report for January 2026, news broke that the Department of Justice had released over 3 million documents related to the massive conspiracy surrounding the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. This was a sort of prophetic utterance on the land from the highest echelons of power. It was meant for a curse, a curse by omission. It kept the black hole mystery alive but offered no clear justice. It keeps the land unsatisfied and unsecure.

When the Israelites were about to enter into the promised land, Balaam of Peor, a prophet of Ba’al, was enticing Israelites to worship the god that calls you to sacrifice your child. He was preparing to give a curse to the Israelites, but instead, God compelled him to give them a blessing, which he did.

Balaam’s reward was to later be killed by Joshua for the crime he committed of bringing Israelites to worship Ba’al.

The Israelites were about to enter their Promised Land, which was a Hope Exit of their time from Egyptian and Wilderness bondage when a curse was about to befall them. But that curse was turned into a blessing by the supernatural intervention of God, who was compelled to speak blessings on Israel and curses on Moab.

We Americans are about to enter our Hope Exit (hopefully) as well, as the division between American and Progmerican becomes clearer and clearer over the coming months. Just as we face this challenge, we see once again the Ba’al priests protected by the establishment. It seems they hold the high places still and they mean to protect their child-sacrificing god, come what may.

Yet, even as Balaam hoped to pronounce a curse with his mountaintop declarations, what might have been meant as a form of a curse on the land in the Epstein files release will yet be a blessing on the land, though it might be difficult to see that now.

After the releases, the partisan information warriors scampered off to their platforms and produced agit prop and content marketing condemning the other and protecting the ingroup. There were some, mostly outside of the Progmerican left (but not exclusively), that took measured wait-and-see takes, but, for the most part, Trump was exonerated or condemned, Bill Clinton was exonerated or condemned. There was little ground in between being created by the info warriors in the partisan camps.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made the announcement, not Attorney General Pam Bondi, which might be telling in and of itself. He gave a measured statement, exclaiming these documents only represented half of the documents the government had yet not released. He claimed these files were held back because they identified victims, exposed medical files, had child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse.

Right from the start he made it clear we were getting a sanitized look at the madness, which might be to our favor, but then again, it might be a demon we need to look at to see that the demon was fed by us as well. THIS might lead us to the repentance we have yet, as a nation, to experience, the repentance against our worshiping of Ba’al, the god who calls a nation to sacrifice their children to his fire.

Remember, many of the highest-level leaders of our country, in all sectors of life, were part of this child rape-murder-sacrifice-torture cabal. None, so far, have faced criminal consequence for their actions. Most of them continue to walk amongst us, our masters, dictating our terms of existence to us from behind a veil of moral supremacism concealing child sacrifice at its heart.

If it’s not them, it’s their adult children, who, by now, have most likely been initiated into the family affair, the family “business.”

These same leaders were the ones making deals with China that sold our vitality to the Chinese Communist Party for a promise of an Eldorado that would never come (the burgeoning consumer class in China that would one day dwarf America’s).

While they sold our vocations to China, at home they were browbeating us with a morality they used to justify corporate censorship and the unpersoning of the unorthodox. While they were browbeating us in public, in private, they were stealing life to satisfy Ba’al’s fire within them all, a fire that is never quenched, which is an eternal torment to the worm that never dies.

The documents were only released in what we imagine is a “minimal” adherence to a law ordering the DOJ to release the Epstein Files. The Deputy Attorney General stated, “We comply with the act, and there is no ‘protect President Trump.’ We didn’t protect or not protect anybody.”

The statement itself is a minimal affirmation of the Act, which would support our theory the DOJ “minimally” complied with the law. As for the claim they didn’t protect anyone, let us see if we find this statement to be accurate after our analysis.

It should be noted that this release was six weeks past the due date outlined in the November 19, 2025 Act signed into law by President Donald Trump.

The releases include 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The two biggest names everyone was looking for, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, failed to deliver the proverbial smoking gun, as these releases largely did (with some noted exceptions).

First, we will look at the two biggest names and what these Epstein Files say about them, then in general at who was most damaged and who escaped any serious harm, and finally we’ll analyze what this type of release tells us about the Reality of Power at the global scale, behind closed doors, where the children are most likely still being used as elixirs of youth and deification.

A. DONALD TRUMP

Shortly after the Epstein Files release, President Donald Trump told the press on Air Force One, “I didn’t see (the files) myself, but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping.”

He was referring specifically to what he alleges the Epstein Files show, a conspiracy between Jeffrey Epstein and author Michael Wolff to besmirch Trump’s name out of revenge. This charge has some suggestions through the email correspondence between Wolff and Epstein that might corroborate that claim, but there is no smoking guns affirming the claim. Trump has threatened to sue Wolff, who expressed no alleged fear at such possibility.

Progmerican Info Warriors have taken to sharing a meme that says “Donald Trump was mentioned more times in the Epstein Files than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible.” As usual, category “errors” abound in that narrative, the first of which is that one category is the Holy Word of God, and the other category is criminal child sex trafficking investigation files.

The meme itself reveals that the Progmericans have no hoped-for smoking gun from the Epstein files. The most damaging files are anonymous complaints that are filled with horrifying details. However, most of the other high-profile people, including Bill Clinton, suffer from this same circumstance.  These are mostly unsubstantiated claims by anonymous sources that were either followed up on and ruled out as uncredible or ruled out as uncredible from the start.

The “best” attack the left had was to malapropistically use Christ as a bludgeon against Trump’s presumed Christian base. Not understanding scripture at all, they had no idea such comparisons would ring hollow, especially for those who hold to the rather orthodox belief that ALL of scripture points to Christ. Where His name is not spoken, the Word yet points to Him.

It also cheapens the profundity and sacredness of scripture by comparing it to child pornographic criminal records. THIS was not by accident.

While the DOJ says Trump has been mentioned over 5,000 times in the files, Bill Clinton’s number of mentions hasn’t been released. When you do a search for Bill Clinton in the DOJ’s Epstein Files library, you get 1,230 mentions. When you do a search for Donald Trump, you get 1,478 results.

B. BILL CLINTON

Bill Clinton will find nothing even suggesting an exoneration like President Trump did in this release, nor was there a smoking gun condemning him. The evidence against him still remains circumstantial, which includes the new photos of him with Jeffrey Epstein, including some with young women, sometimes in questionable (but not obviously so) positions.

When the U.S. House Oversight Committee subpoenaed both Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary to testify under oath, the Clintons initially refused. Now, they have agreed, in principle, to testify in the face of potential criminal charges of contempt for continuing to refuse to comply to the subpoena.

Perhaps the most damaging evidence against the Clintons, in general, is Jeffrey Epstein’s deposition in 2016 when he invoked the Fifth Amendment numerous times to avoid answering questions about the nature of his involvement with Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Outside of that, this release introduced no real new information about the Clintons and their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.

C. THOSE MOST AFFECTED

This category excludes, of course, the ones obviously most affected from this whole operation (one probably still going on in one way, shape, or form), the victims of these little gods, the men and women consuming the future to preserve the illusion of the eternal now.

  1. KIER STARMER – The UK Prime Minister was not originally on this list, but circumstances have changed. Momentum continues to grow for the PM to resign after it was revealed Starmer KNEW about Peter Mandelson’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein BEFORE he approved of Mandelson becoming the U.S. ambassador.

His own intelligence service flagged Mandelson, but Starmer overruled the flag. The only reason this was discovered was because the second person on this list, Peter Mandelson, was exposed in the Epstein Files in a way that led British authorities to discover this fact.

  1. PETER MANDELSON – After the Epstein Files were released, Peter Mandelson was exposed as having leaked sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein that could result in criminal charges. The fallout was immediate, as Mandelson was forced to resign from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords. He had already been forced to resign as the UK ambassador to the U.S. It was the notification from the Epstein Files that Mandelson had leaked this information that led to an investigation exposing the initial flag by the intelligence community on Mandelson and Starmer’s direct override of the flag.
  2. MIROSLAV LAJCAK – Slovakia’s National Security Adviser was forced to resign after the Epstein files release revealed he had numerous parties and meetings with Epstein back in 2018. The opposition party pounced on the releases, while Lajcak claimed he had done no wrong.
  3. STEVE TISCH – The Co-owner of the New York Giants, Steve Tisch, showed up in this new batch release 400 times, and that includes emails from him using terms like “working girl” that made it highly probable he was referring to sexual activity, though not underage activity.

While the NFL has announced plans to investigate Steve Tish, so far, he hasn’t been forced to resign, nor has he offered to.

  1. BILL CLINTON – While no smoking gun was revealed in the release, they did help to fuel the House Oversight Committee’s efforts to get the Clintons to testify under oath (something they wanted to do for some time).
  2. OTHERS – Some lesser affected include Harvey Weinstein, Leon Black, Casey Wasserman, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The last one is most noteworthy, with Lutnick showing up for an Epstein Island lunch visit years after he claimed he last contacted Epstein.

ED.NOTE: We consider one Democrat hard hit by the Epstein Files release, Stacey Plaskett, a minor actor. What she has alleged to do, text Jeffrey Epstein during U.S. House hearings, indicts the system. Her removal as an actor, however, is almost inconsequential.

While Donald Trump doesn’t appear to have the clear exoneration he claims, he has taken no real damage beyond what he’s already received from his handling of the Epstein files in general.

D. WHAT’S MISSING

At the now culturally irrelevant Grammy Awards, British actor and comedian Trevor Noah made a joke about Donald Trump, saying, “That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”

Upon hearing this, President Trump responded on Truth Social, “The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus and others how that all worked out. Also, ask CBS!” added Trump. “Get ready, Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

This exchange right here might be the most amount of action these file releases have generated far. A far-left anti-American British citizen on an American television show to an American audience made a joke about a former and current President going to an island that is known for child rape (and probably child murder as well).

The CURRENT President responded to this jokester by threatening to sue him, demonstrating a critical unawareness of basic first amendment constitutional law, or an indifference to it. Either way, the most dramatic exchange to come after this mega-release turns out to be between an anti-American agit prop activist properly exploiting American freedom and the sitting President not properly understanding it.

What’s missing is evidence that leads to criminal prosecution for anyone, which we can only surmise includes a high proportion of leaders in all segments of society. Hundreds, if not thousands, of powerful men and women who participated in consuming children to satisfy their little god fires, are still among us, still holding social, cultural, political, and even sacred leadership and gatekeeping positions.

What’s missing is accountability, what’s missing is a transparent assurance the operation is actually shut down and is not being continued with different Epsteins and Maxwells.

E. THE CASE FOR SEEING MORE

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche let us know this release was only half of the files the DOJ still has. We suggested he complied as minimally as he thought he could get away with, and the fruit of this release suggests to us he wasn’t being truthful when he said he wasn’t protecting anyone.

We don’t presume he is protecting President Trump, or NOT protecting President Trump. We don’t presume Trump is guilty beyond turning a blind eye to something he AT LEAST should have figured out a lot sooner than he did (if he’s even guilty of that).

We don’t even suggest this for President Clinton as well. For all we know, both these men could be innocent. For all we know, both these men could be guilty of comparable crimes.

Blanche revealed the released files did not include those files that showed child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse. He also cited medical records concerns and victim identities; both seem credible enough. However, those first three categories don’t, especially because sensitive areas can be blurred to at least expose the criminal, something we must assume has already been done, but led to no arrests.

As stated above, we have no idea who walks among us that is part of this Satanic cult, and the cost of shocking Americans with the awful sins of our leaders is overshadowed by the much costlier consequence of continuing to protect the criminals of Epstein Island. Protect no one, not even Donald Trump (if it’s needed at all).

Failure to let Americans see the horrifying truth will only further erode the state’s legitimacy of rule, which is already on life support as it is. Release the Kraken, come what may, for the guilty can no longer be protected if the state in its current form (officially still American) hopes to continue to exist.

SUMMARY

The Department of Justice, under the direction of Pam Bondi, did the minimum it felt it had to do to at least give the political leadership of both parties plausible deniability that yet did not remove the Epstein fangs pointed at one another.

The goal here, it would seem, was to sustain the status quo between the real competing factions. These competing main factions are Trump’s elites now hedging their bets on the China model and leaning towards an America-lite model, and the “China Model through the Woke Vehicle of Power” elites who have been the center of power until recently.

We see here King Kong versus Godzilla, fighting over our city, with the Epstein files being performative missiles shot off now and then by the city security forces, who assure us the monsters are under control. We Americans find ourselves rooting for King Kong, the American-like monster, for at least this monster won’t completely destroy our city, whereas we KNOW Godzilla wants to destroy us completely.

We have a real chance in the post-Kong victory world to fully live out our Americanism. We have little chance to fully live out our Americanism if Godzilla wins. Still, we see the monster that King Kong is clearly for ourselves, and we are not prepared to bend our knee to him anymore than we would be prepared to bend our knee to Godzilla. Or so the metaphor goes.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The latest attempt by the Trump administration and the DNC to placate the masses without giving too much safe harbor to the enemy has served only to delay the soon-to-be louder voices demanding the real damaging files get released, come what may.

We can’t imagine anyone seriously thought this would put the Epstein files to bed, and possibly that was never the intended outcome. For as much as we want to know the full truth of the child sex ring designed to blackmail thought leaders in multiple countries, we also understand the black hole mystery that is the Epstein Files.

This black hole mystery can gobble up minds, resources, that might otherwise have discovered practical paths to blunt centralized control over human action. This is not to suggest the effort to expose the truth shouldn’t continue, but only that the continuation of this black hole mystery is not completely disadvantageous to the elites.

This is especially true of the elites who continue to be part of the blackmailers group, not the blackmailed leaders group Clinton, Trump, etc., are candidates for being in. The blackmailers have every reason for the mystery to continue, and our passion to continue to be absorbed by it, for, even as we speak, most likely they’ve long moved on to their new centers of child sacrifice.

We always allow for God’s intervention, but outside of that, this black hole mystery is set to continue at least for another year, maybe longer.

We doubt the Clinton hearings will yield much more than body language videos and montages of “I plea the Fifth,” which is assuming the hearings happen at all, something far from certain at this point. If they do, the Clintons will try to look hard and determined in the same way Hillary did during the Benghazi hearings (presaging Trump).

Trump has standardized the bluster, the WWE promotion-style savaging, which the Clintons will try to manifest in their outfits and their demeanor.

They will address the Republicans curtly, with a tinge of contempt. Bill could be a wildcard if he gets caught in a logic trap and says more than he should. The DNC criminal media will cover them with plaudits and heap shame on the Republicans daring to question their integrity.

The press will carry headlines comparing Trump’s 5K mentions to Bill’s “fewer” mentions as proof this is merely a political witch hunt. The girls at the View may offer this as proof that the Department of Justice is protecting Donald Trump by going after the Clintons to distract them from Trump, who, after all, is mentioned more

The net result will be a blunting of the Epstein Files as a uniquely Republican or Democrat problem, which is not a good overall net result for America, because it means less creators will find incentives in producing content keeping the pressure on these people to release files (since it doesn’t exclusively hurt the other faction).

On one hand this might be good if those same creators start showing their audiences how to build Americanist communities right where they live, starting in their own homes. But this seems less likely, as that type of content is not nearly as monetizable as Epstein content that eviscerates the opposing faction.

On the other hand, if this is swept under the rug, it will only embolden the elites to do more, which means more victims than ever before, for surely, they haven’t stopped Jeffrey Epstein’s work. What this means is they haven’t stopped offering children for power to the people who will still rule over us as if WE were the ones that needed THEIR moral authority for our lives to be “good.”

There is a Goldilocks zone for our engagement with this black hole mystery, and it’s not silence or indifference, nor is it where the bulk of our energies should be spent.

The blackmailers would ultimately be happy with either/or extreme, total obsession that saps restorative energies to total crickets allowing the conspiracy to operate in silence. The blackmailers prefer to see the pendulum swing wildly from the obsession extreme to the cricket extreme. This assures the blackmailed still feel threatened while also assuring the blackmailers continue to remain invisible (as they mostly still are).

A consistent, steady approach to investigating the Epstein files is what is needed amongst us Americans (see Whitney Webb), but only a handful of us.

Unless a brave whistleblower manages to get the irrefutable proof of the dark sins of our leaders, expect the black hole mystery of the Epstein Files to continue to burn, for good and for ill, against a backdrop of an America struggling to find her people amongst peoples who have long ago forgotten what America is.

Our ability to confront these sins, to bring to account the main criminals, will most likely be what finally determines if the spirit of Americanism prevails in this land or the spirit of Progmericanism, child sacrifice, prevails in this land.

The Epstein Files release has not fooled the Americans, it is only helping us to clarify whose clearly with us and whose clearly against us. In other words, the Epstein Files release is already proving to be a blessing, not the curse it was intended to be. If you are too partisan in your defense of ANY suspected politician, including Trump, we have reason to question your Americanist credentials.

Will Ba’al replace Christ, officially, as the centerpiece of the “new Progmerican republic” or will Christ remain muted under an American-lite MAGA banner, or will Christ be unbounded in a restored Americanist nation? So far, the release hasn’t had its intended results, which bodes well for the Americanists.

… For instance, take Zoraya ter Beek, a 29-year-old, who, in 2024, ended her life via doctor-assisted suicide in the Netherlands. According to The Guardian, she did so on the “grounds of unbearable mental suffering.”

Such deaths are permitted if a patient has “unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement.” Another such individual is Aurelia Brouwers, a young woman who died in a starkly similar way.

“I’m 29 years old and I’ve chosen to be voluntarily euthanized,” Brouwers said before her death. “I’ve chosen this because I have a lot of mental health issues. I suffer unbearably and hopelessly. Every breath I take is torture.”

These cases are heartbreaking and prove that the slippery-slope alarms sounding for far too long should have been heeded, but, tragically, they have been ignored. And, unfortunately, the chaos doesn’t come from only these mental health loopholes.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’m trying to make one of my haphazard appearances, depending my energy level, after all these medications they put me on, after this lung cancer surgery. But I’m here on the farm, and I’m doing my best.

I wanna talk a little bit about the open defiance of the federal government. I’ve mentioned that earlier, but when you collate everything that Attorney General of Minnesota Keith Ellison has said, Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis, it’s unabashed, unapologetic, insurrectionary rhetoric.

Progmerican insurrectionist Judge Tracy Davis openly revolted against the American republic in a judgment against an unrepentant rapist-kidnapper in half because he is in African American. The judge cut a 65-year sentence in half for the convicted rapist kidnapper because he’s a “poor black man.” This is after he told her “I don’t have sympathy for nobody. I don’t have sympathy for you, the victim, the victim’s family, I don’t care. Boo hoo.”

A left-wing activist judge in Louisville, Kentucky decided to slash a rapist-kidnapper’s recommended sentence of 65 years to a mere 30 years.

Why?

Simply because she believed he was a black victim of society. Or something like that.
