Fans Outraged by Massive Cost of Tickets for Lefty Bruce Springsteen’s ‘No Kings’ Tour

Trump hater Bruce Springsteen is doing a ‘No Kings’ tour this spring to celebrate his Trump Derangement Syndrome, but fans are quickly finding out that tickets for the shows come with a king sized price.

Springsteen has faced criticism over this same issue in the past. It doesn’t look like he has changed anything, despite the complaints.

At least rich liberals will be able to afford to see the shows, right?

The New York Post reports:

Springsteen fans outraged over pricey tickets for ‘No Kings’-themed tour; ‘a woke joke’

His “Glory Days” with some fans have passed him by.

Bruce Springsteen’s fans are furious over the legendary rocker’s astronomical ticket prices for his upcoming “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour, which critics argue are unaffordable for his “working class fanbase” and contradict his Man of the People image.

The woke New Jersey billionaire is pushing the anti-President Trump “No Kings” agenda in his advertising campaign for the 20-date tour with his E Street Band — but is ironically charging prices fit for royalty, at up to $3,000 a ticket.

“I couldn’t be more disappointed in the Boss … how do these outrageous ticket prices reflect the land of hopes and dreams? The hopes and dreams of poor people who can’t afford your tickets,” one outraged fan commented on Springsteen’s Instagram post announcing the tour.

“You are also catering to upper middle class and the rich. Isn’t that what we’re fighting?”

“No Kings tour, but priced for a king. What a dbag,” another pointed out.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

Brazilian healer John of God, promoted by Oprah Winfrey as an inspiring figure of spiritual miracles, sentenced to 118 years in prison for sexual rapes

João Teixeira de Faria, also known as John of God, self-proclaimed Brazilian medium and spiritual surgeon, has accumulated sentences exceeding 489 years in prison for systematic rapes and sexual abuses.

In September 2023, a Goiás court imposed an additional 118 years, six months, and 15 days on him for 17 cases of rape, rape by deception, and rape of vulnerable persons. He had already received 19 years and four months in December 2019 for four rapes, and in 2020 he added another 40 years for five additional cases.

The convictions are based on judicial evidence and testimonies that the courts considered credible. More than 600 women from Brazil and abroad, aged between 9 and 67 years, reported abuses committed between 1986 and 2017 at his center in Abadiânia.

Among them is his own daughter, Dalva Teixeira, who recounted abuses from the ages of 10 to 14 and a forced pregnancy that ended in abortion due to beatings.

The victims described an identical pattern: Faria would separate them during “private healing sessions,” turn off the lights, and sexually assault them under the excuse of transferring spiritual energy.

International media reported even more serious allegations of an alleged “baby farms” system: poor young women supposedly held and forced to gestate in order to sell newborns abroad.

David Copperfield Ends 25-Year Vegas Residency Over His Presence in the ‘Epstein Files – Documents Show FBI Probed His ‘Predilection for Minors’

No ‘Abracadabra’ can make this trouble disappear.

The ‘Epstein curse’ is like s stain that won’t go away, for some people. And in the case of magician David Copperfield, he hasn’t been able to ‘trick’ his way out of trouble.

Last Thursday (5), the entertainer announced that his 25-year residency on the Vegas strip in Sin City was coming to an end.

Los Angeles Magazine reported:

“Among the millions of documents in the Justice Department’s drop of the Epstein files was a slew of FBI memos that mention magician David Copperfield. In one, agents discussed whether Copperfield and his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein ‘engaged in referring possible victims to each other’ and whether they ‘shared a predilection for minors’.

That memo was written in 2007, a year before the billionaire financier cut a sweetheart deal with Florida law enforcement on charges he had sex with underage females. But Copperfield’s name appears extensively in the Epstein files, referenced multiple times in FBI files until Epstein died in 2019 at the Metropolitan Detention Center.”

40 Charges DROPPED — Then She Was Murdered

Abdul Jalloh entered the United States illegally in 2012 from Sierra Leone and subsequently accumulated a staggering criminal record in Fairfax County. His charges included rape, multiple stabbings, assaults, malicious wounding, identity theft, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Despite this extensive criminal history spanning over a decade, Jalloh remained on the streets due to prosecutorial decisions that prioritized procedural excuses over public safety. In 2020, ICE lodged an immigration detainer and a judge issued a final removal order, yet local authorities failed to ensure his deportation, allowing him to continue victimizing the community.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, who received backing from progressive financier George Soros, has faced mounting criticism for his office’s pattern of dropping serious charges against violent offenders. In Jalloh’s case, Descano’s office secured only one malicious wounding conviction while dismissing the overwhelming majority of charges, citing lack of victim participation at hearings. This excuse rings hollow to critics like Sean Kennedy of Virginians for Safe Communities, who pointed out that Descano managed to convict Jalloh once without victim input, proving such participation isn’t always necessary. Police Chief Kevin Davis defended his officers’ investigative work and indirectly held the prosecutor’s office accountable for the failures.

Trump’s Iran War Timeline Extends INDEFINITELY 

The U.S.-Iran conflict, launched as Operation Epic Fury, has seen its expected duration expand without a clear endpoint. 

President Trump’s recent statements indicate an open-ended commitment, diverging from earlier administration assurances of a swift resolution. 

This shift occurs as reports emerge of Iranian migrants gathering at Europe’s Channel coast, using the war to strengthen asylum claims despite questionable timelines of their journeys.

Initial estimates suggested a limited engagement, but that appears to have all changed within the space of less than one week.

Trump confirmed the indefinite nature, stating “I have no time limits on anything. I want to get it done.”

Brutal Numbers: Schools Spent $30 Billion on Laptops… and They Seem to Have Made Kids Dumber

Technological innovation doesn’t always yield good results.

Even as electronic devices are championed as the best means of learning for youth — with a massive price tag — we aren’t seeing dramatic improvements in students’ performance.

On Feb. 23, Techspot published an article citing the beginning of the tech takeover in the classroom under former Maine Democratic Gov. Angus King.

In 2002, King created a program to put Apple laptops in middle schoolers’ repertoire. By 2024, the federal government had used a staggering $30 billion to follow his state’s plan, getting tablets and laptops to students across the country.

This seemed like an obvious shift in the right direction on paper: The world is becoming more technological. Students will use these devices in the workplace, so why not familiarize them now?

But neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath laid out the adverse impacts of this decision to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

According to Horvath, Gen Z is the first cohort to see declining test scores compared to their predecessors. He found an inverse relationship between academic performance and time using digital devices.

“This is not a debate about rejecting technology,” he told lawmakers. “It is a question of aligning educational tools with how human learning actually works. Evidence indicates that indiscriminate digital expansion has weakened learning environments rather than strengthened them.”

Techspot cited studies showing 3,000 university students spent two-thirds of time on their school laptops engaging in material unrelated to classwork.

Fortune found that in 2017, test scores weren’t improving after King’s program.

A study published in OxJournal made a worrying conclusion regarding technology and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The research “established an evident correlation between digital media use and the prevalence of ADHD in contemporary society. This applies for all age demographics, depending on the setting, such as being in school or in a workplace.”

“The earlier we immerse our children’s underdeveloped minds in digital media, offering them instant fulfillment, the higher the likelihood that an attention-deficit disorder will emerge as they mature,” the study continued.

“This inhibits individuals from focusing their selective attention on a particular task, as well as reduces their divided and sustained attention.”

A traditionally minded educator — or most conservatives — could have seen this coming.

UK Government Brands Union Flag A ‘TOOL OF HATE’ In Leaked ‘Social Cohesion’ Strategy

A leaked draft of the UK Government’s new ‘social cohesion’ strategy has sparked outrage by labeling the flying of English, Scottish, and Union Jack flags as potential “tools of hate.”

The document claims these national symbols were sometimes used last summer to “exclude or intimidate,” adding that the “extreme right has tried to turn symbols of pride into tools of hate.”

The 47-page draft, leaked to the Spectator magazine, also highlights how antisemitism has become “normalised in many corners of society” from schools and universities to workplaces and the NHS.

Under the proposals, titled Protecting What Matters, some £800 million over 10 years would be allocated to 40 areas where social cohesion is “under pressure.”

The strategy is set for a cross-Government rollout next week, but critics are already slamming it as divisive.

Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice blasted the draft, telling the Sun: “Absurdly, this says our national flag is a tool of hate used to intimidate. The whole paper is a divisive nonsense that should be consigned to the bin.”

The leak ties directly into ongoing controversies over national flags, as detailed in our previous coverage where English councils admitted spending tens of thousands to remove “unauthorised” English and Union Jack flags from lampposts.

Leftist-Globalist BBC Caught AGAIN Doctoring a Speech, This Time by US War Secretary Hegseth, Igniting Another ‘Impartiality’ Row in Britain

The ‘Beeb’ screwed up again – possibly on purpose.

For the leftist-Globalist bosses and crew at the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), it isn’t enough anymore to have highly biased reports filled with editorial content.

Now, they feel the need to go ahead and actually doctor speeches by people they loathe, trying to modify what they are saying, in maneuvers worthy of a George Orwell novel.

The ‘Beeb’ is already on the hook for billions, after deceptively editing a historic J6 speech by Donald J. Trump, as you can read in BBC IS MELTING: British State Broadcaster To Apologize for Doctored Editing of Trump J6 Speech, Under Fire for Its Pro-Hamas, Pro-Trans and Climate Change Biases.

Apparently, the BBC intelligentsia hasn’t learned a thing, so they went ahead and did it again.

Now, they are ‘plunged into a fresh impartiality row’ after altering a speech by US War Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding the military operations in Iran.

Daily Mail reported:

“In the broadcast aired to audiences within Iran, BBC Persian inaccurately translated the US Defense Secretary’s remarks, reporting that Washington intended to bring death to the Iranian ‘people’.

In reality, Mr. Hegseth had specified that the United States was targeting the Iranian ‘regime’.

The BBC, which carried Mr Hegseth’s Pentagon address live on Monday, translated the word ‘regime’ as ‘mardom’, the Persian word for ‘people’, before later issuing a correction.”

Suspect screams ‘Allahu Akbar’ after Molotov cocktail thrown at anti-Muslim protest in NYC: report

After a Molotov Cocktail was reportedly thrown at an anti-Muslim protest taking place in New York City, a suspect who was arrested by police shouted “Allahu Akbar” in response as he was being detained. 

Freedom News TV reported that a Molotov Cocktail was thrown at the anti-Muslim protest taking place. The suspect in question was then seen lighting what appeared to be a smoke bomb and was tackled and detained by police. As he was getting arrested, the man yelled, “Allahu Akbar.”

Police later said that there were possible explosive devices used by two Muslim men in the incident.

The protest taking place appeared to be led by Jake Lang, who posted about the incident. Lang, an anti-Muslim activist wrote, “Muslim ISIS terrorist just threw a homemade nail bomb at us in NYC.”

UK Mulls Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?

After all these years, it turns out that your beloved pooch may be “unhealthy,” so much so that his breed has to be banned. This dire news comes from the far-left government of the United Kingdom, where beagles, dachshunds, mastiffs, great danes, boxers, and saint bernards may soon be a thing of the past. All in all, the government is considering banning no fewer than sixty-seven dog breeds, with the stated reason being animal health. This is so implausible, however, that it cries out for another explanation, and there is an obvious one that doesn’t bode well for Britain’s future as a free society.

The UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday that this initiative comes from the top: “Sixty-seven dog breeds could be banned in Britain if new breeding guidelines set by parliament become mandatory, campaigners have warned.” This is because “the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) for animal welfare has launched a new tool to determine if a dog is healthy.”

Why was a new tool to determine if a dog is healthy needed now, to the extent that the British parliament has a group devoted to studying this question? Is Britain suffering a plague of unhealthy dogs? Are these legions of unhealthy dogs infecting their owners with diseases of some kind?

None of that seems to be the case; on the contrary, this sudden parliamentary fascination with canine health seems to be entirely a bolt from the blue, and the parliamentary group’s criteria for what constitutes sufficient dog health look just as arbitrary: “The cross-party committee has developed a 10-point checklist of extreme physical characteristics which can make for a poorly pooch. They include mottled colouration, excessive skin folds, bulging outward-turning eyes, drooping eyelids, under or overbite and a muzzle that interrupts breathing.”

The upshot of this is that numerous breeds of dog that are perfectly healthy but which have a coloration or skin folds or eyes to which parliament objects may end up being banned. And parliament means business: “The assessment – which is currently voluntary but expected to become law within five years – aims to drive out breeds with these sorts of exaggerated attributes.”

The claim is that this is all about caring for the poor dears, just as Canada’s euthanasia program is supposed to be all about alleviating pain and suffering. Britain’s anti-dog push “comes after studies have shown animals of these varieties can sometimes suffer pain, discomfort and frustration from birth.” However, “critics have cautioned the new criteria will see some 67 of the most popular types of dog in the UK automatically dubbed unhealthy.” These include “widely adored breeds like dachshunds, shih tzus and Scottish terriers – and even the late Queen’s beloved Welsh corgis.”

Given that these claims about the health of well-known and beloved dog breeds are so implausible, what else could be going on here? Well, Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) recently landed himself in hot water when he posted this on X: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” Could it be that Muslims in Britain are forcing exactly this choice, or that Britain’s far-left Labour government is trying to ensure that the country’s growing and restive Muslim population continues to vote for Labour en masse?
