Seattle LGBT Commission Demands Taxpayer-Funded Housing and ‘State of Emergency’ for ‘Trans Refugees’ Fleeing Republican States, Socialist Mayor Promises Action Despite $175 Million Budget Deficit

Seattle’s official LGBT Commission is calling on socialist Mayor Katie Wilson to declare a formal “state of emergency” over what it calls a “trans relocation crisis,” and is demanding the city provide free housing and taxpayer-funded salaries for trans activist groups to support thousands of transgender-identifying individuals allegedly fleeing red states.

The commission claims “tens of thousands” of “trans refugees” have fled to Seattle in order to escape “genocidal and vile legislation” passed in Republican states that restrict sex change procedures for minors.

In an official statement, the advisory body demanded the city immediately step up with housing “run by trans orgs for trans people,” pay unemployed volunteers who are “fighting full-time against this crisis,” and offer protection from the federal government.

A coalition of trans activist groups, including the Antifa-affiliated “Moto Hooligans,” has announced a rally and march on Saturday, May 23, at Cal Anderson Park to pressure Mayor Wilson to meet their demands.

The Post Millennial reports:

A coalition of trans activist groups, including the Antifa-affiliated “Moto Hooligans,” stated that they need more financial resources to assist the “tens of thousands” of transgender “refugees” who have allegedly moved to Seattle to escape what they call the Trump administration’s “genocide” of trans people, according to a Tuesday social media post. As a result, the coalition has demanded free housing for trans people, as well as the allocation of taxpayer funds to pay trans activists to assist with the so-called “crisis.”

The group announced a Saturday, May 23, rally and march at Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park, the former CHAZ/CHOP zone, to demand further resources from Mayor Wilson, a socialist who took office earlier this year.

Germany Becomes A Ukraine War Lab, and a Staging Ground For a Forever War On Russia

In February, under the white light of a Bavarian assembly hall, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius, walked past rows of unfinished drones. The joint venture hosting them, linking Germany’s Quantum Systems with Ukraine’s Frontline Robotics, is already producing aircraft for Ukraine, plans to scale toward 10,000 units a year, and has already sent its first batch east. This is what Berlin now calls support for Ukraine, not crates on a runway, not old equipment hauled out of Bundeswehr depots, but German soil giving Ukrainian war design an industrial home.

For years, German officials sold their Ukraine policy in the language of restraint, solidarity and defensive necessity, but today, that language is buckling under what Berlin is now doing in plain sight. Germany has signed onto Ukraine’s defence innovation platform, opened itself to battlefield-data sharing, backed joint ventures that turn Ukrainian combat know-how into German-produced drones and robots, and committed itself to work on long-range strike systems with a reach of up to 1,500 kilometres. The result is no longer the picture of a cautious donor helping from a distance. It is a state folding Ukraine’s war labs into its own industrial base and building the rear area of a long war against Russia on German territory.

Germany Becomes the Factory Floor

The Munich drone line strips away the euphemism. Ukraine is not simply receiving German kit from stockpiles. Ukrainian battlefield-proven designs, software and operational lessons are being fused with German capital, German factory capacity and German political cover inside ventures built to scale weapons production for a war Berlin still insists it is not fighting. The Auterion-Airlogix Joint Venture GmbH makes the point even more bluntly. Registered in Germany and launched in February, it combines Airlogix’s battle-tested Ukrainian UAV platforms with Auterion’s autonomy software and is meant to produce thousands of autonomous, combat-ready systems in Germany for the Ukrainian armed forces. Every time Ukrainian engineers find a way through Russian jamming or air defences, German industry is there to absorb the lesson and turn it into volume.

How Jeffrey Goldberg weaponized Jewish trauma to pave the way for war with Iran

America’s decision to go to war with Iran is best understood not as a response to uranium enrichment levels, regional power balances, or any coherent strategic objective, but as the product of a narrative shaped by historical trauma and moral absolutism. In that narrative, Iran is not a state with interests; it is the latest embodiment of an ancient threat to the Jews.

This deliberate replacement of empirical reality with the mythology of eternal Jewish victimhood is what I call “Hasbara Culture.” It relies on erasing historical context and replacing it with a single, sacred narrative. In the book Victimhood Discourse in Contemporary Israel, the scholar Ilan Peleg captures the psychological mechanics of this alternative reality:

“To put it crudely, there is a sense in Israeli collective victimhood that all the traditional enemies of the Jewish people are, in the final analysis, one and the same… Pharaoh = Haman = Acashverosh (Ahasuerus) = Khmelnsytsky [sic] = Hitler = the Mufti of Jerusalem = Yasser Arafat… There is a frequent, dominant tendency to collapse these victimizers into one, symbolic, and simplistically a-historic anti-semetic ‘being.’”

Other than Benjamin Netanyahu, no one is more responsible for the ultimate success of the Hasbara Culture worldview than Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic, and a former Israel Defense Forces soldier who later chronicled his service in his memoir, Prisoners: A Muslim and a Jew Across the Middle East Divide.

Judge Grants Biden’s Request to Intervene in FOIA Fight, Blocks Public Release of 70 Hours of Audiotapes of His Conversations with Ghostwriter

A federal judge on Thursday granted Joe Biden’s request to block the public release of the audiotapes of his conversations with his ghostwriter.

The Oversight Project filed a FOIA lawsuit requesting records from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden. The judge denied the Oversight Project’s request.

However, US District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, denied Biden’s request to use this case to block the release of the audiotapes to the House Judiciary Committee.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the DOJ was preparing to release damning audio of Biden’s interview with former Special Counsel Robert Hur. The Department is also going to release 2017 audio recordings of conversations with his ghostwriter in which he disclosed classified information.

Biden previously asserted executive privilege over the audio recordings related to then-Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into his stolen classified documents scandal.

Republicans have argued that Joe Biden cannot assert executive privilege over the audio since the transcript has already been released.

Then-US Attorney General Merrick Garland classified the audio tapes of Biden’s interview with Hur as “Top Secret” and locked it way in a SCIF.

US Deploys Aircraft Carrier To Caribbean As Trump Admin Pressures Cuba

The U.S. military command operating in the Western Hemisphere said on May 20 that an aircraft carrier strike group entered the Caribbean Sea, as the Trump administration heaps pressure on the Cuban communist regime.

In a post on X, U.S. Southern Command said that the USS Nimitz is now in the Caribbean and released video footage of the carrier group. Southern Command did not provide more details about why the carrier group traveled to the region.

The Nimitz, it said, “has proven its combat prowess across the globe, ensuring stability and defending democracy from the Taiwan Strait to the Arabian Gulf.”

The Nimitz, commissioned in 1975, carried out joint naval exercises with the Brazilian Navy off the coast of Rio de Janeiro last week, the U.S. Embassy in Brazil said in a May 14 statement.

On May 20, the Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed a criminal indictment against former Cuban leader Raul Castro, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a video in Spanish urging Cubans to reject the country’s communist leadership.

According to the DOJ indictment, Castro was indicted in connection with the 1996 downing of civilian planes operated by Miami-based exiles. Castro, now 94, was Cuba’s defense minister when the planes were shot down, killing four people.

The charges against Castro, the brother of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, drew pushback from the country’s current leader, Miguel Diaz-Canel, in a post on X.

This is a political maneuver, devoid of any legal foundation, aimed solely at padding the fabricated dossier they use to justify the folly of a military aggression against Cuba,” Diaz-Canel wrote.

This year, U.S. President Donald Trump has been ratcheting up talk of regime change in Cuba and said he would potentially initiate a “friendly takeover” of the country if its leadership did not open up its economy to American investment and kick out U.S. adversaries.

When asked what will happen next for the U.S. embargo on Cuba on Wednesday, Trump said, “We’re going to see.” He added that the U.S. government is ready to provide humanitarian assistance to what he described as a failing country.

Trump said that “there won’t be escalation” between the United States and Cuba, adding, “I don’t think there needs to be.”

“Look, the place is falling apart. It’s a mess,” Trump added. “They’ve really lost control of Cuba.”

In Cuba, there is no food, electricity, or energy, Trump said, adding that the U.S. government will have to act to assist the country.

Earlier this month, CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Cuba to meet with the country’s top officials, a visit that came as the country’s energy minister said the island has completely run out of fuel and that its power grid is in a critical state.

In January, the U.S. military launched an operation in Venezuela that captured its president, Nicolas Maduro, an ally of the Cuban regime, and took him to the United States to face drug-trafficking charges.

Since September 2025, the U.S. military has been launching strikes against suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean in what the military calls Operation Southern Spear.

The DNC’s 2024 Autopsy Is Here, and Oh Boy, It’s a Dumpster Fire

The DNC has finally released its 2024 election autopsy, and if you were hoping for a moment of genuine Democratic self-reflection, prepare to be disappointed.

The report took forever to see the light of day, and DNC Chairman Ken Martin’s explanation for the delay was something else. “When I received the report late last year, it wasn’t ready for primetime — not even close — and because no source material was provided, it would have meant starting over. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced,” Martin said. So the party that wants to run your healthcare couldn’t manage to produce a competent internal review? That’s comforting.

Of course, most of what the autopsy actually concludes isn’t exactly earth-shattering. Democrats didn’t just lose because of Donald Trump. They lost because they’ve spent years drifting away from working-class voters, men, rural America, and irregular voters, while banking everything on anti-Trump messaging and demographic assumptions that turned out to be dead wrong.

Gee, we’ve been saying that for years.

The report traces these organizational, messaging, and cultural failures back more than a decade. That’s the Democrats’ attempt to spread the blame thin enough that no one person has to own it.

I’m sorry, but that’s still such a cop out. Remember, Democrats have had Hollywood, the public school system, and virtually the entire media apparatus doing their bidding for years. With all that infrastructure, losing this badly isn’t a messaging problem. It’s a “you” problem, and from what I can tell, the document doesn’t acknowledge this at all.

Still, some of the admissions in the report are interesting.

“A persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters has provided the other major party with opportunities for advancement,” the report states. It’s not wrong. The party that claims to speak for ordinary Americans stopped listening to them somewhere along the way. The report even concedes it directly. “The party’s connections with working Americans and their families were forged through decades of organizing and engagement,” but “we have lost these relationships.”

That’s a nice way of saying that Democrats have become the party of the coastal elites, not the average American.

There’s also an acknowledgment that Democrats became addicted to identity politics and abstract rhetoric at the expense of kitchen-table issues. The report calls on Democrats to “focus less on abstract issues and identity politics, and connect with voters on the issues they say matter most, including the economy, disaster relief, and addressing housing affordability.”

Every unvaccinated child is evidence of a crime

The vaccine narrative has been deliberately engineered to obscure reality. Manipulated data, corrupted science and silencing dissent are all part of a larger medical architecture designed to create chronic illness while maintaining plausible deniability.

However, unvaccinated children thrive. They are the living proof that the chronic disease epidemic isn’t genetic, it isn’t mysterious, it isn’t inevitable. Instead, it’s iatrogenic. It is caused by the very medical interventions claimed to prevent it – vaccines.

The First Betrayal

The midwife’s words hang in the delivery room air like a casual afterthought: “We’ll just give baby the vitamin K shot now.” Just a vitamin. Nothing more than what you’d find in your morning orange juice. The language itself is the first deception – calling a synthetic blood-clotting agent manufactured by Pfizer’s subsidiary Hospira a “vitamin” transforms an industrial pharmaceutical intervention into something as wholesome as sunshine.

In those first raw hours after birth, when parents are overwhelmed by the miracle of new life, the medical system strikes with practised precision. The entire infrastructure – from the delivery nurse to the paediatrician, from the hospital protocols to the documentation systems – has been calibrated for this moment. Every medical professional in that room has been trained, not in the science of whether a newborn needs synthetic phytonadione, but in the art of securing compliance. They’ve learned to frame it as routine, to present it as universal, to make refusal seem like dangerous eccentricity.

Murphy’s father, one of the few who came prepared, discovered what awaits those who dare say no. After his daughter was delivered using vacuum extraction five times – creating a visible blood-filled sac on her head – the red-shirted paediatrician entered within three minutes. Not to examine the baby. Not to celebrate the birth. But to begin the assault. When Murphy’s father cited the Australian Paediatric Surveillance Unit study showing only six deaths from vitamin K deficiency bleeding in five million babies over 25 years, with none occurring in hospital births where vitamin K was refused, the doctor didn’t engage with the data. Instead, he turned to the mother: “Do you feel differently?”

The pattern revealed itself through escalation. First, the doctor. Then the nurse lecturing about irresponsibility. Then the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (“NICU”) admission – not for medical necessity, but for “monitoring” a baby whose parents had refused the injection. Then the failed attempts to insert cannulas, the repeated heel pricks for blood tests. Strange behaviour for medical professionals who claim the baby cannot clot blood properly. If she truly couldn’t clot, why were they so eager to make her bleed?

The ingredients tell their own story. In one millilitre of this “vitamin,” there are 70 milligrams of polyoxyl 35 castor oil – a known irritant that causes skin, eye and respiratory irritation according to the NIH’s own safety data. There are 37.5 milligrams of dextrose monohydrate and 9 milligrams of benzyl alcohol, which the manufacturer admits has “no evidence” it doesn’t cause toxicity – not because they’ve proven it safe, but because they’ve never looked. The actual vitamin K? Just 2 milligrams. The “inactive” ingredients outweigh the “active” one by a factor of 39.5 to 1.

This elaborate performance isn’t about preventing bleeding. Natural vitamin K levels are low at birth because they’re meant to be low. Evolution didn’t make a mistake that Pfizer needs to correct. The rise to normal levels happens naturally over eight days – which is why Jewish and Muslim traditions wait until day eight for circumcision. The entire vitamin K narrative exists to solve a problem created by another unnecessary intervention: immediate circumcision for the 80.5% of American baby boys whose foreskins will be harvested and sold to cosmetic companies.

Sixty per cent of babies develop jaundice after receiving their vitamin K shot. The medical establishment calls this “idiopathic” – of unknown origin – while the product insert plainly states that synthetic vitamin K causes jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia. They inject the cause, observe the effect, and declare it a mystery.

The Control Group Survey found that exposure to just the vitamin K shot alone, without any vaccines, increased a child’s risk of developing at least one chronic condition from 2.64% to 11.73% – a 344% increase. When combined with maternal vaccines during pregnancy, that risk jumps to 30%. Yet parents are told it’s “just a vitamin,” as harmless as a prenatal supplement.

The genius of starting with vitamin K is that it establishes the precedent. Once parents have agreed to that first injection, once they’ve surrendered their newborn’s bodily sovereignty in those vulnerable first hours, the pattern is set. The baby has been enrolled in the system. The medical records will forever show “vitamin K administered,” marking this child as one who receives injections. The psychological barrier has been broken. If you said yes to the first one, why would you say no to the rest?

Those who refuse face the full weight of institutional pressure. Police have knocked on doors in Illinois because parents declined the vitamin K shot. Child Protective Services has been weaponised as a threat. Parents are told their babies will die, that they’re irresponsible, that they’re endangering their child. All for refusing an injection that even the manufacturer admits hasn’t been studied for carcinogenic or mutagenic effects, or for its impact on fertility.

The first hours after birth are a carefully orchestrated vulnerability. Parents are exhausted, emotional, overwhelmed. They’re in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by medical authority. They’ve just been through one of life’s most intense experiences. And in that moment of maximum vulnerability, when they should be bonding with their newborn, the system demands its first tribute.

This is where the battle for your child’s health is won or lost. Not at the two-month vaccines. Not at the measles, mumps, and rubella (“MMR”) vaccine. But in those first moments when someone in scrubs approaches with a syringe and says it’s “just a vitamin.” Because once you’ve said yes to injecting your hours-old baby with synthetic chemicals that have never been tested for cancer, mutation or fertility effects, you’ve already agreed that strangers in white coats have more authority over your child’s body than you do.

The parents who successfully refuse have done their homework months in advance. They’ve printed the safety data sheets. They’ve read the product inserts. They’ve studied the actual rates of vitamin K deficiency bleeding. They’ve prepared their responses to each wave of pressure. They know they’re not preventing an epidemic of bleeding babies – they’re refusing to participate in a ritual of submission that marks their child as property of the medical system from the moment of birth.

House Oversight Officially Launches Full-Blown Investigation Into Massive Ohio Medicaid Fraud Scheme Allegedly Tied to Somali Networks — Rep. Brandon Gill: “Billions of Dollars” Stolen From Taxpayers

The House Oversight Committee is officially turning up the heat on what could become one of the largest Medicaid fraud scandals in American history.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer and Rep. Brandon Gill have launched a sweeping federal investigation into alleged rampant abuse of Ohio’s Medicaid system after explosive reports revealed suspicious billing patterns centered around two ZIP codes near Columbus, Ohio, an area home to one of the largest Somali populations in the United States.

According to reports cited by House Republicans, a state audit found that Franklin County, home to just 11.5% of Ohio’s population, accounted for roughly 38% to 40% of the $1.6 billion spent statewide, with nearly 40% of that amount flowing to just two neighboring ZIP codes, totaling approximately $240 million.

Auditors also identified a 15.6% error rate in eligibility determinations, raising concerns that improper payments could range from $800 million to as much as $4 billion.

Additional reporting uncovered nearly vacant office buildings allegedly housing hundreds of billing companies. Ohio officials have since brought charges against some providers and maintain that safeguards are in place, while both state investigators and a federal task force continue to examine the potential fraud.

The Oversight Committee announced a brand-new task force specifically aimed at exposing institutional abuses, fraud, and misuse of taxpayer-funded social welfare programs, with Gill tapped to lead the charge.

Quantum Stocks Erupt As U.S. Gov’t Awards $2 Billion, Takes Equity Stakes

IBM and small-cap quantum names, including IonQ, D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, Infleqtion, and other peers, are surging in New York premarket trading after a Wall Street Journal report said the Trump administration is preparing to award $2 billion in CHIPS Act grants to nine quantum-computing companies.

IBM is set to receive half of the $2 billion tranche, or about $1 billion, as the large-cap leader in the race to build quantum computing systems that could revolutionize national security, accelerate scientific discovery, and deliver a range of other economic benefits.

WSJ, citing the Commerce Department, outlined the companies expected to receive funding from the 2022 Chips and Science Act:

The department has agreed to give $1 billion of the package to IBM, a leader in the race to build computers that use quantum mechanics to solve problems much faster than traditional supercomputers.

. . .

IBM and other companies are working to develop specialized chips for quantum computing, a focus for the government in its bid to spur domestic supply chains. Chip maker GlobalFoundries is receiving $375 million in funding.

The rest of the firms are expected to receive $100 million, except for startup Diraq, which is slated to get $38 million.

A slew of companies pursuing various approaches to quantum are slated to be awarded funds, including publicly traded firms D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing and Infleqtion.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s strategy of using federal funding in exchange for equity stakes will also apply to the quantum computing companies listed above. This is similar to a series of other deals, especially in the rare earths space, including rare-earth magnet maker Vulcan Elements and mining company MP Materials.

Chicago City Council Passes Ordinance to Conceal Election Workers Identities From Public

In a 42-8 vote, Chicago’s City Council voted to pass the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson Sr. Fair Access to Democracy Ordinance.  The ordinance will essentially ban the doxing of government workers, especially election workers, and bolster requirements for landlords to provide secure mailboxes in accordance with United States Postal Service rules.

An earlier version of the ordinance included the creation of “democracy zones,” which would have forbidden federal immigration officials from entering the areas outside of polling places.  That provision, however, was removed prior to its passage.

The doxing stipulation claims the information can be used by those who wish to cause “death, bodily injury, stalking, harassment, or intimidation” to the government workers.  Those whose information was disclosed would be able to bring civil action for “damages, injunctive relief, and reasonable attorney’s fees.”

Last year, local officials in Chicago were calling for federal agents tasked with tracking down dangerous foreign gang members and detaining violent criminals to remove their masks and to provide identification upon request.  Two Chicago-area U.S. Representatives co-sponsored the “No Secret Police Act,” requiring ICE agents to wear identifying information on their uniforms, as reported by WTTW.

CBS News reported that the debate got contentious with some fierce language slung amongst the aldermen, with one claiming  that a threat of putting “a knife to your throat” if the ordinance is not passed was made:

Debate over the ordinance grew heated, as some alders expressed fears about potential voter suppression in the upcoming November elections, while others said it’s already the role of the Chicago Board of Elections to make sure polling places are secure from voter interference.

“This federal government is going to rig the elections this November. Make no mistake about it. So, choose a side. You’re on the side of history, when Reverend Jackson was fighting to encourage voting rights and protect them, or you are on the side of the fascists taking those rights away,” said Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th).

Ald. Scott Waguespack (32nd), who argued the ordinance was not yet ready for a vote by the full City Council, and said it’s already the job of the Chicago Board of Elections to secure polling places and protect voter privacy, said the threatening tone some of his colleagues used to pass the measure [was concerning.]

“It’s not about creating this situation here where dissent over a poorly drafted ordinance is something that should equate to divisive language that should be halted on the opinion of one person in this council,” he said. “One of the other comments yesterday, probably by one of the drafters, was if you don’t pass this, we will have a knife to your throat, and that kind of set me back a little bit when I was sitting in that committee meeting, because I heard that and I thought the same people who want me to vote on something recognizing the achievements of what is hopeful to be the long-lasting legacy of Jesse Jackson said, ‘If you don’t pass this we will have a knife to your throat.’”
