We live in a convenience-driven society. Fast food businesses thrive while home cooking flounders. Trips to the pharmacy can now be undertaken without getting out of your car, using the handy drive-through. Standard cleaning products are quickly being overtaken by disposable items you toss in the trash after one use. We’ve been brainwashed by the marketing companies to believe that the simplest things are wildly inconvenient, and that in our time-crunched society we must pay for shortcuts…


Surging “Education” Spending Squeezing Homeowners Out

So-called “education” is raising property taxes, forcing citizens—especially those on fixed incomes—to sell homes. The indoctrination scheme isn’t just harming youth; it’s destroying private property.

So-called “education” is raising property taxes, forcing citizens—especially those on fixed incomes—to sell homes. The indoctrination scheme isn’t just harming youth; it’s destroying private property.

With government spending on “public education” ballooning, surging property tax rates to fund it in some states are forcing homeowners to cut back on living expenses or even to sell their homes — especially those on fixed incomes such as retirees. Vermont is ground zero but it is hardly alone…

As our relative walked through what had been her family home, she began to cry as she recorded the destruction. Her place was one of the thousands burned down a year ago in the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles. Other relatives living in Altadena had to flee the Eaton Fire at about the same time, although their home was not damaged…


Greenland Is Not Fer Sale 🎵 – A Ridiculous Irish Pub Jig About a Toddler Tantrum

by Drunken Irish Bard

Greenland Is Not Fer Sale – a fast Irish pub song, Celtic jig, and funny Irish ballad full of mockery and mayhem. A giddy 6/8 Irish jig that turns a global headline into a roaring Irish pub song packed with satire, sing-alongs, and spilled stout. Set in a warm, chaotic pub where the fiddle skips faster than common sense, Greenland Is Not Fer Sale tells a ridiculous tale of tantrums, nursery-rhyme logic, and the unstoppable wisdom of pub laughter. With skippin’ fiddle, cheeky tin whistle, tappin’ bodhrán, puffin’ accordion, and a crowd that won’t stay quiet, this Irish drinking song escalates from playful mockery into full cartoon chaos…


Leaked Doc: Homeland Security’s Domestic Terror Obsession

Forget Greenland; the American public are the real target

by Ken Klippenstein

Despite Donald Trump’s fixation with Greenland and the suggestion that military action is imminent, the 2026 Homeland Threat Assessment, a draft of which was leaked to me, focuses instead on domestic terrorism.

The annual assessment, which has been prepared since 2020, purports to offer a holistic assessment to threats to the Western Hemisphere. These assessments have consistently focused on what you imagine: southern border security, the drug trade, immigration, and critical infrastructure protection in the United States…

CHANGCHUN, CHINA - AUGUST 29: A pilot in a J-10 fighter jet of the Bayi Aerobatics Team of

by Olivia Rondeau

Schweizer’s latest exposé, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, delves into the little-known concern of Chinese pilots being sent to the U.S. for training with “virtually no oversight” before returning and serving in their own country’s military.

“The People’s Republic of China has a pilot problem,” the investigative journalist writes in The Invisible Coup. “Beijing needs five thousand pilot cadets every year to meet the demand for both military and civilian pilots. Because the Chinese military tightly controls the country’s airspace, it can domestically produce only about 1,200 pilots a year. So, Beijing quietly erected a system to train three thousand of them a year in the United States…


Fury as Amazon Ring Cameras Are Hooked Up to ICE System

“Your Ring camera is an ICE agent.”

Online activists are telling owners of Ring Doorbell cameras that it's time to get rid of their devices, which can be used by ICE.
Etienne Note: We make the case that Amazon is a “Control of Perception” company overfunded to dominate books, streaming, on-line retail, hosting, and other commerce while simultaneously spying on the public with Alexa and Ring doorbell camera that have been quietly “wired” into thousands of police stations, FBI “Fusion Centers” and now ICE in our Five Meme Friday Article: If you spin the “Z” Amazon spells: A Mason - Plus MORE evidence, that you can find here: https://fivememefriday.substack.com/p/fivememefri-how-to-get-our-books

By Joe Wilkins

As US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wreak havoc on American communities, big tech companies have been making themselves indispensable to the increasingly tyrannical state.

Among them is Amazon subsidiary Ring, the company behind those AI doorbell cameras that have exploded in popularity over the last few years. Back in October, Ring announced that its devices would soon be looped into a network of Flock AI surveillance cameras. That network, an investigation by 404 Media found, has been available to local and federal police and enforcement agencies like ICE — leaving many worried that their Ring doorbell cams are now feeding into a government panopticon…
