Report: The FBI Bent Its Own Rules To Spy on 1,100 ‘Sensitive’ Targets
Opening investigations requires evidence, so the feds created “assessments.”

The FBI has frequently been caught spying on Americans. It’s obvious the feds are dedicated to continued domestic snooping, even if that requires working around restrictions on their activities.

Georgia Man Picks Up 5-Pound Ham At Walmart. Then He Checks It On The Scale: ‘This Is The Second Time With The Kentucky Legend’
by Braden Bjella — January 27, 2026 6:00 pm
*** begin quote ***
In this video, which currently has over 6.4 million views, Wrigg looks over the refrigerated section with Kentucky Legend ham. After just a few seconds, he’s able to identify several hams that have significantly incorrect weights listed.
Bringing them all to the scale, Wrigg first demonstrates the scale’s accuracy by placing a 2-pound weight on it. Then, he weighs the hams. Consistently, each ham is around 3.1 pounds lighter than it claims to be on the package.
In a later video, Wrigg voices his concerns to an employee. The employee then verifies that the meats were incorrectly weighed.
*** and ***
In a TikTok DM exchange, Wrigg told BroBible neither Walmart nor Kentucky Legend has reached out to him about his videos. In the meantime, he has reached out to reached out to the Georgia Department of Agriculture Weights & Measures.
“I want is an explanation on why [there] were not better controls in the grocery department,” he said. “I have three videos and three different Walmarts with three different meats and three different brands; I found all of it in under seven minutes in each store. They seem to have no care to be surveying and checking their prices, whether they’re marking them or not.”
He further expressed a desire for procedures to be put in place to prevent this from happening. Wrigg added that, in his view, these procedures should have been added after the $45 million settlement.

How come in Japan, companies are scrupulous that the picture must match the product? But here in the USA, it’s like everything is “optional”. The best way is to put the consumer in charge of “quality control”. How about a Gooferment diktat that if a consumer can find a defect in labeling, then they get the item free and a check for 100 times the price.
In the cited example, that $25 ham would cost the company $2,500. I bet that would make their eyes water and they’d find a way to solve the problem. Maybe a second offense, could add a zero to the end of the multiplier. And so forth and so on.
Hello, at a 10,000 mutiplier, I’d be at the store with my own scale. More profitable than Bitcoin mining!
It’s all about incentives. And neither Gooferment or their “Corporations” have the right ones in place.
Argh!

ICE Cops are Invading Homes Without Court Warrants
by Adam Dick | Jan 22, 2026
*** begin quote ***
United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cops — often masked, out of uniform, and intent on quickly escalating the force they initiate while yelling out orders and curses — have been demonstrating over the past few months the danger of police directed to menace and suppress instead of to serve and protect.
A Wednesday Associated Press article by Rebecca Santana details one of the tactics employed by ICE cops in their rampage — storming into homes without judge-signed warrants authorizing that they may enter and for what particular purposes. The US Constitution was supposed to restrain such home invasions in the nation that rose post-revolution from the colonies that had been subjected to British soldiers operating under general warrant powers. Strict requirements were imposed in the Fourth Amendment in regard to searches and seizures. ICE, though, is bypassing that restraint in its current home invasion practices.
“Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches,” wrote Santana to begin hear article. ICE cops, Santana related, are just acting under supposed authority from “administrative warrants” ICE creates for itself.

Clearly, what started out as a “great idea” (i.e., remove criminal illegals) has degraded into a <synonym for excrement> show!
I think it is fair to hold everyone in the chain of command personally — both civilly and criminally — liable for violation of Constitutional Fourth Amendment Rights.
If I was on a jury, then my verdicts would be influenced by these violations!
Argh!
The Dead Old White Guys would be shooting already.

Schools Flag 11-Year-Olds as Terrorists for Questioning Mass Migration | Daily Pulse
The Vigilant Fox
Jan 13, 2026
*** begin quote ***
STORY #1 – Students are being monitored for thought crimes through a government-funded video game in UK schools.
Kids as young as 11 are warned that they could be flagged as potential terrorists simply for questioning mass migration.
The game, Pathways, puts students in control of a white character navigating so-called moral dilemmas. If they express the “wrong” opinion, share the “wrong” video, or attend a protest defending British values, their extremism meter climbs. The penalty? Counseling for ideological thoughts or a referral to PREVENT—Britain’s official counterterrorism program.
Even researching immigration statistics is treated as suspicious. If a student dares to “look into it more,” the game warns: you’re being radicalized.
Looking up the truth is now a red flag.
This isn’t education. It’s psychological conditioning—pressuring children to stay silent, conform, and report their peers for independent thought.
Maria Zeee exposes what happens after a child is flagged, and just how little power parents have once the state takes over.
*** end quote ***
Well, what do “We, The Sheeple” expect when you have Gooferment Skrules?
The Prussian model of “education” is to create cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite!
It’s nothing more that an “indoctrination camp”.
This was once a land where every sane person knew how to build a shelter, grow food, and entertain one another. Now we have been rendered permanent children. It’s the architects of forced schooling who are responsible for that.

Giant bear living under LA man’s house finally leaves after 37 days — thanks to this bizarre method
By Jeremy Louwerse
Published Jan. 8, 2026, 6:18 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
The bear eviction finally happened Tuesday after Johnson contacted “The Bear League” — a group from Lake Tahoe that specializes in bear removal emergencies.
“We heard about Ken, we felt bad for him and flew down and got the bear out,” said Ann Bryant, the founder and executive director.
The crew jumped into action, firing paintballs into the crawl space until the bruin had enough — retreating from its den.
“The bear was gone in 20 minutes,” Bryant said.
The paintballs are filled with vegetable oil and sometimes “they hit the bear in the rump,” added Bryant — who said her organization does between six and eight bear extractions a day.
Johnson told The Post he quickly covered the crawl space with two layers of plywood and sandbags to prevent the bear from ever coming back. The Bear League also placed an “electric mat” in front of the crawlspace designed to give a small shock if stepped on.
The shock mat proved to be handy when the bear returned Wednesday but got zapped.
*** end quote ***
Take note that the Gooferment’s efforts caught the wrong bear. That made me laugh. We all know that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy. Why do they keep demonstrating it to us?
Like most private sector fee market solutions, it was quick and easy. And, painless except to the bear who found it a PIA (pain in the ass)! Laugh!
Seriously, about the only thing the Gooferment is good at is killing things!
Argh!

Trump on why he pardoned Binance CEO: “Are you ready? I don’t know who he is.”
Trump family business could benefit from pardon of crypto ex-con Changpeng Zhao.
Jon Brodkin – Nov 3, 2025 2:15 PM
*** begin quote ***
President Trump says he still doesn’t know who Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao is, despite having pardoned Zhao last month.
CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell asked Trump about the pardon in a 60 Minutes interview that aired yesterday, noting that Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws. “The government at the time said that C.Z. had caused ‘significant harm to US national security,’ essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him?” O’Donnell asked.
*** end quote ***
After the Biden fiasco of autopen pardons, @realDonaldTrump should create a “Devil’s Advocate” to speak against pardoning people. Maybe we could get Judge Judy to chair a TV trial with a retired judge to act as the Devil’s Advocate versus the lawyer who thinks his client deserves one.
Put it on Pay Per View for a few buck to defer the expense. It’d make Survivor or the Bachelor look tame by comparison. Judge “Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining” Judy Sheindlin could hear both sides and then issue a recommendation to the President. Of course, that recommendation meeting could be on PPV too where the President could sign it for all to see.
I love this idea. (Who doesn’t love their own “baby”? No matter how ugly.). Your comments welcome.

Homesteading: The Food Emancipation Proclamation
By Joel Salatin
Robert W Malone MD, MS
Sep 15, 2025
*** begin quote ***
If you said, I want to buy a can of your homemade canned tomato soup, I can’t sell it to you. The current system only allows availability in the marketplace from the industrial choice. If you ever notice a food recall, they’ll put down the brands that are being recalled. There’s 25 brands, they’re all coming from the same tube. People walk into Walmart and they say, well, what do you mean we don’t have food choice? Look at all the brands, all the colored labels. Well, they’re all industrial. So what we want, what the society, the culture is yearning for right now. Buyers want affordable unadulterated food. You can’t get that at the supermarket. Old farmers need a way to get out. We talked about that on the tour. Young farmers need a way to get in and inner city food deserts need a solution besides the food bank.
*** and ***
In order for me to offer you a chicken pot pie, did you like that chicken yesterday? Yeah. Yeah. In order for me to offer you a chicken pot pie, I have to have an inspected kitchen, a hasp plan, hazardous analysis, critical control point plan, and there’s no template for making these. And if you take the template off the inspection service website, they will automatically cast it out.
I have to have a licensed bathroom, not a composting toilet, and it doesn’t matter that our kitchen is a hundred yards from two in our house, two in mom’s house. It has to be on site, a licensed leach field for that bathroom and a certified cold chain with 24 7 thermometer, computer microchip reading. That’s just to get you a chicken pot pie.
*** and ***
Ultimately, these food safety laws have nothing to do with food safety. All other hazardous substances, prescription drugs, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, name your thing, you can’t buy them. You can’t give them away. You can’t possess them, and you certainly can’t feed ’em to your kids. But food, the prohibition is only on the seller. You can buy it, you can use it, you can feed it to your kids, you can feed it to your neighbors, you can give it away. You just can’t sell it. So who’s kidding? Who here is this really food safety? If it was really dangerous for me to butcher a beef in the field and take out a T-bone steak and sell it to you, if it was really dangerous, it ought to be I can’t give it away. You can’t buy it and you certainly can’t feed it to your kids. So the hypocrisy of this is so glaring that it defies imagination.

Argh!
What more can I say?
Sorry but the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats have a slew of regulations that don’t make sense.
Let the “free market” decide what we can and can’t put in out bodies.
We are NOT the Gooferment’s “livestock” to be “managed” at their whim.

Jimmy Kimmel reportedly ‘f–king livid’ over ABC pulling ‘Live!’ — as Trump cheers ‘great news for America’
By Anna Young
Published Sep. 17, 2025
Updated Sep. 17, 2025, 10:27 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly “absolutely f–king livid” over ABC’s decision to ax his late-night talk show following backlash to his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination — while President Trump cheered the move as “great news for America.”
The comedian, 57, was left fuming over the network’s Wednesday decision to suspend him and pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air “indefinitely” after he unleashed a hateful tirade against the gunned-down conservative activist during Monday night’s monologue, sources and producers told the Daily Mail.
*** and ***
Nexstar Media Group, the major broadcast company that serves as a primary affiliate for ABC, confirmed that it would “preempt” Kimmel’s program in the wake of his remarks.
*** and ***
But after Monday’s blunder, the FCC chairman says the only reasonable step for ABC, parent company Disney, and the Emmy-nominated host is to issue a public apology — noting that the network’s “unprecedented” rejection of Kimmel by broadcasters is “an important turning point” in the media.
“This action today by NexStar and Sinclair, frankly, it’s unprecedented,” Brendan Carr told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday.
*** end quote ***
Early reports indicated that Nexstar Media Group was seeking FCC approval for something. That seems to have “disappeared”. Was this a quid pro quo to make DJT47 happy? If so, it’s UNACCEPTABLE.
I’m no Jimmy Kimmel fan. BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), was this “suspension” rooted in politics. Sure seems so. When you see some of the many examples of “trash” that the broadcast networks air, this seems “mild”.
What would the FCC say about George Carlin now?
As much as I dislike Kimmel, this is just WRONG. And, he should get his show back on the air.
DJT47 should IMMEDIATELY:
What would Charlie Kirk be doing? Certainly, not trying to shut down an opinion. Any opinion.
Argh!

Terrifying new details of Canada’s advancing assisted suicide laws… including push to euthanize newborn BABIES
By GERMANIA RODRIGUEZ POLEO, US CHIEF REPORTER
Published: 10:02 EDT, 25 August 2025 | Updated: 10:25 EDT, 25 August 2025
*** begin quote ***
Canada’s assisted suicide laws have continued rapidly expanding in recent years, with a group of doctors now pushing for disabled newborn babies to be euthanized.
The demand for euthanasia is so high that doctors who provide it cannot keep up, according to a new report by The Atlantic.
Assisted dying, legalized in 2016, now accounts for about one out of 20 deaths in Canada, far surpassing countries where it’s been legal for longer.
*** and ***
Canada’s road to allowing euthanasia began in 2015, when its top court declared that outlawing assisted suicide deprived people of their dignity and autonomy. It gave national leaders a year to draft legislation.
The resulting 2016 law legalized both euthanasia and assisted suicide for people aged 18 and over, provided they met certain conditions.
They had to have a serious, advanced condition, disease, or disability that was causing suffering and their death was looming.
The law was later amended to allow people who are not terminally ill to choose death, significantly broadening the number of eligible people.
Critics say that change removed a key safeguard aimed at protecting people with potentially decades of life left.
Today, any adult with a serious illness, disease, or disability can seek help in dying.

The Return of Eugenics
By Robert Weissberg — August 25, 2025
*** begin quote ***
If one word is guaranteed to enrage the woke mob, it is eugenics, a term conjuring up images of Hitler, the Holocaust, white supremacy, and sterilizing the feeble-minded. Yet, despite the odium surrounding “eugenics,” it is, paradoxically, making a comeback thanks to medical advances, not the rise of right-wing ideology. Vast sums are currently being invested in firms to promote eugenics, but the term “eugenics” is never uttered.
Recent newspaper stories recount how parents employ cutting-edge scientific advances in genetics to have the best possible children while avoiding deadly genetic defects like cystic fibrosis. A New York Post story – “Silicon Valley Parents Spend Thousands to Screen Embryos in Search of ‘Baby Geniuses’” — recounted parents spending upwards of $50,000 to screen embryos to discover one with the best genes for intelligence prior to fertilizing it, and then via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) implanting it in the woman’s womb. The Post story mentions two intelligence screening start-ups — Nucleus Genomics and Heraslight — both funded by major Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
A particularly successful illustration of this new eugenics is Orchid Health headed by Noor Siddiqui with thousands of clients thanks to its 100 U.S. clinics, a figure that doubled from the previous year. Given the complexity of human genetics, Orchid Heath’s claims to use as few as five cells from the mother’s embryo to develop a “polygenetic risk score” to predict a child’s future chances for some 1200 single-gene disorders plus more complex polygenetic illnesses such as bipolar disorder, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. According to its mother, one of Elon Musk’s children was from an embryo screened by Orchid Heath and, at Musk’s request, the embryo was screened for intelligence (the firm does not usually screen for intelligence but will do it on request).
*** end quote ***
As gun-owning pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian, I find this deplorable. And, interesting that two stories come to light on the issue from different authors and perspectives.
Are we so full of hubris that we can be like the ancient Aztecs, who sacrificed children to appease their “gods”. What “god” are we appeasing?
Often I see uplifting stories about “disabled children” who grow up and have “good” lives.
And, how do these babies give their “informed consent”? Or those with confirmed “mental illnesses”?
Sorry but this is murder or maybe even genocide when you take into account abortions!
My favorite analogy or metaphor is what if we are killing the “golden child”?
https://reinkefaceslife.com/2010/02/26/political-right-to-life/
*** begin quote ***
My greatest fear is that we will kill “the Golden Child”. In Will Crowther’s Colossal Cave Adventure game, if you killed the bird in Cave #7, you never could proceed past the snake in Cave #11. (Although it was funny to see smart engineers trying “stuff” when it was impossible to proceed.) What if the potential person that’s killed is the next Salk who will cure cancer, the next Hawkings who will explain the Universe, or the next Mother Teresa who will comfort untold number of sufferers?
*** end quote ***
If we “believe” that all humans have “rights”, and we can argue about when those rights INURE to any person (i.e., conception; birth; when they can assert them; when they can fight for them), when does our civil society recognize those rights?
Sigh!
Otherwise we are nothing more than talented savages existing in a “might makes right” world.
The Nuremberg Code is a set of ethical principles for human experimentation established after World War II, emphasizing the necessity of voluntary consent and the moral obligation to protect human subjects in research.
And today’s medical professionals are transgressors and should be hung too.
