DEI, transgender policies are being wiped out at dizzying pace across America
The political “vibe shift” inaugurated by Donald Trump’s election continues, with rollbacks of progressive projects proceeding across the country. The pace of these reversals is matched only by the dizzying speech with which DEI and transgender policies descended in the first place; the thing about top-down policy impositions, as I’ve noted before, is that Astroturf can be pulled up and discarded with surprising ease. Consider just a few recent examples.

After U.S. President Donald Trump’s special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff called uranium enrichment a “clear red line” on Sunday, the Iranian leadership was quick to respond, calling his position “unrealistic.” “We have one very, very clear red line, and that is enrichment. We cannot allow even 1% of an enrichment capability,”

‘A nightmare’: Female inmate describes ‘traumatic’ experience of being housed with biological males
An inmate at Minnesota’s Shakopee women’s prison says she’s been traumatized by the state’s policy allowing transgender-identifying males to be housed alongside female prisoners—calling her experience “the worst time I’ve ever had to live through.” Jamie Ali, who is currently incarcerated at the Minnesota Correctional Facility–Shakopee, spoke to Alpha News by phone and shared concerns about her mental health, physical safety, and what she calls repeated failures by the Department of Corrections (DOC) to protect vulnerable women.

Farewell to Vatican Silence – A Secret UFO Document Falls into the Hands of Pope Leo XIV, Recounting Unexplained Phenomena

Kanye West’s Song ‘Heil Hitler’ Shows Just How Trendy Antisemitism Has Become In The Entertainment Industry
Kanye’s music is almost always controversial and very often laced with explicit language. I guess that is one way to garner attention from the public. In the last couple of years, Kanye’s antisemitic rants have increased to the point where they are very difficult to ignore or brush off, and assign them a different meaning altogether. There is also a video of that same song, and they are both titled “Heil Hitler” Kanye’s behavior and multiple antisemitic rants are not even cloaked in anything else. He openly praises Hitler and displays swastikas any chances he has.

Why Are So Many World Leaders Refusing To Let Go of Macron’s Hand?
I don’t mean to make a federal case out of this, I’m just saying it’s SUPER weird! World leaders are recently grabbing ahold of French President Macron’s hand (or sometimes finger) and simply refusing to let go. Watch here:

Baptize California Pastor Says America Is ‘on the Precipice’ of a Spiritual Awakening
Three years ago, Pastor Mark Francey sensed God calling him to launch a mass baptism event in a state many had written off — California — in hopes of sparking a major spiritual movement. The pastor of Oceans Church in Orange County obeyed — first by launching 2023’s “Baptize SoCal,” where more than 4,000 people were baptized at Pirate’s Cove in Corona del Mar, Calif., and then with 2024’s “Baptize California,” which saw 6,000 baptized along Huntington Beach on a Saturday and another 6,000 in churches across the state on Sunday. This year’s Baptize California at Huntington Beach culminated with 7,752 individuals immersed — possibly marking the largest one-day baptism event in American history.

Walmart And Target Are Really Jacking Up Their Prices
Are you ready to pay 80 percent more for a USB-C cord? Unfortunately, Walmart, Target and other major retailers have decided to start dramatically raising the prices of thousands of imported products. Of course our paychecks are not going up dramatically as well, and so our standard of living is going to go down. We live at a time when 70 percent of Americans are already more financially stressed than they have ever been before, and now big corporations are going to be hitting us with a tsunami of enormous price hikes.

Why Is The U.S. Being Hit By One “Apocalyptic Disaster” After Another Right Now?
Have you noticed that America has been getting pummeled by a series of major natural disasters in recent days? Dozens of immensely powerful tornadoes have carved trails of destruction across the middle of the country, Chicago was just hit by an “apocalyptic” wall of dust, and a plague of millions upon millions of crickets is causing chaos in Utah. Some have pointed out that what we are currently going through is eerily similar to what the U.S. experienced during the days of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Others are wondering if the weird behavior of the Sun has anything to do with the disasters that we are now seeing. But what everyone should be able to agree on is that what we are witnessing right now is certainly not normal.
