BUSTED: ‘Blue-Collar Independent’ Senate Candidate Endorsed by Democrats Caught on Hot Mic Revealing Exactly What He Thinks About Rural Trump Voters

A so-called ‘blue-collar independent’ pushed by Democrats as their candidate in a key Senate race has unwittingly exposed his true feelings about GOP voters in leaked audio.

On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee shared leaked audio of Nebraska’s Dan Osborn, who is now running just behind with GOP incumbent Pete Ricketts in the polls, making some really sick remarks about salt-of-the-earth Americans who loyally support the Commander-in-Chief.

Osborn promotes his background as an industrial mechanic, Navy veteran, and union leader to fool Nebraskans into believing that he is one of them. He previously attempted the same trick two years ago and came up just over six points short against Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE).

Like last time, Democrats are not running a candidate in the Nebraska Senate race.

But notice how elitist and disgusting Osborn’s language is in the video. These are his true colors.

“Billy Bob is f**king Red Cloud, Nebraska, who lives next to the f**king Trump store as you pull into town and is waving the Trump flag. All he knows is that he is on the winning team,” Osborn says.

“It really is that simple, it is. And Trump…That’s why he’s been so effective,” he continues. “He’s been so effective at taking Billy Bob and his wife, Mary Jane, or Mary Jo, and telling them, ‘Look, we’re winning. You’re on the winning team.’

‘A long history of scandal’: Soros DA Larry Krasner referred by judge for criminal investigation

Billionaire influencer George Soros long has funded the political campaigns of leftist prosecutors, and in turn they’ve used their offices to pursue an agenda of leniency for criminals.

Now one is facing trouble for doing just that.

A report at the Federalist explains that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and a top deputy, Matthew Stielger, have been referred for criminal investigation by a federal judge.

He’s suspected of “false statements, false declarations made under oath, perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy.”

Explained the report, “It’s familiar stuff. Krasner, a spectacularly woke prosecutor who won the office with lavish backing from George Soros, has a long history of scandal and crisis, and has been accused of misleading courts in several high-profile cases.”

The report said the present problem “involves an effort by a convicted murderer, Dennis Johnson, to be freed from prison, turning to the federal courts with a repeated request for a writ of habeas corpus after state courts denied his several petitions for release.”

When the court asked Krasner’s office to respond to Johnson’s petitions, “Without investigation, Krasner’s office conceded Johnson’s questionable claims about the supposedly flawed murder conviction, telling the court that prosecutors ‘did not oppose the granting of relief,’ according to the memorandum.”

AI Data Center Boom Fueling ‘Tidal Wave’ of New PFAS Production

The “AI revolution” is driving a “tidal wave” of new PFAS production to meet the demands of rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and the data centers needed to power it, The Guardian reported.

Exploding demand for lithium-ion batteries is also driving up demand for the chemicals, according to a new report by chemical industry watchdog ChemSec.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals” because they never degrade, have been linked to illnesses including cancer, thyroid disease and inflammatory bowel disease. They’ve also been linked to developmental issues in children.

In the last two years, new regulations have placed restrictions on some PFAS chemicals in drinking water and food packaging in the U.S. and Europe. And winning lawsuits have compelled some PFAS producers to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to settle health claims against DuPont and other companies.

Yet, ChemSec’s survey of the 10 largest PFAS manufacturers found that rather than being deterred by new regulations and the growing body of evidence of PFAS-related health problems, most producers are set to expand production in the coming years.

“PFAS manufacturers all over the world are explicitly framing their investments around ‘the AI revolution’ and microchip fabrication,” ChemSec reported.

PFAS are used at multiple points in the infrastructure underlying AI. They play a key role in semiconductor manufacturing, and they are a major component of cooling systems that remove the enormous amounts of heat generated by data centers.

That demand is fueling new investment in PFAS production even as governments struggle with widespread contamination from decades of previous use, and manufacturers face billions of dollars in liabilities.

ChemSec warns the increased demand driving production expansion signals that “the only effective method to end this toxic pollution crisis is to implement universal bans with strictly time-limited derogations to enable certain sectors to adjust.”

Texas Gets Tough: Gov. Abbott Orders Crackdown on AI Data Centers that Skip Mandated Water Surveys

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has directed the Texas Water Development Board to penalize data centers that fail to report their water usage, after state records showed most facilities have ignored the mandatory survey for years.

The Texas Tribune reports that the directive follows a rough stretch of compliance numbers: less than 30 percent of data centers responded to the state’s water usage survey last year, and response rates dipped as low as 28 percent over the past three years. Abbott wants an update from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) on compliance and enforcement by the middle of October.

“Data centers must share the duty to protect Texas water,” Abbott said. “The Texas Water Code requires a complete and accurate water use survey. I direct the Texas Water Development Board to use its enforcement authority to penalize past failures and to impose legal consequences for any future failure to comply.”

Since 2020, the TWDB has surveyed data centers and other industrial facilities every year, asking for monthly water use figures. State law requires facilities to respond or face a Class C misdemeanor, but the agency says it can’t actually prosecute anyone. It’s a non-regulatory body. That job falls to local officials, including district attorneys and law enforcement, agency officials said. TWDB staff told the Texas Tribune in July that they don’t even track how many fines, if any, have been issued.

The board said it would “compel all water users” to comply, and defended the need for detailed data: “TWDB is charged with developing a state water plan that meets the needs of Texans and cannot perform that task if it is denied detailed information on existing and anticipated water consumption.”

The survey goes out by mail to roughly 4,700 municipal water systems and 3,200 industrial facilities, including data centers that use more than 10 million gallons a year, a threshold the agency considers “a significant industrial user.” It asks for annual water volume, whether a facility buys or self-supplies its water, the water source, and whether the facility generates its own power on site. It does not ask about cooling technology, which has historically been the largest source of water use at these facilities.

The AI Game Of Thrones

Winter is coming for the AI industry, and the great houses are already drawing swords

On one side sit OpenAI and Anthropic, wrapping themselves in the banner of “safety”…House Monopoly. On the other sit the accelerationists including David Sacks, President Trump, and a growing faction that wants the pathway cleared, not blocked…House Speed Racer. The fight is being sold as existential risk versus national destiny. This is a battle for power, money, and control. The average citizen is not at the table.

I have been watching this movie since the post-Labor Day panic dropped. I wrote last week an article titled “The Post Labor Day AI Panic Psyop Has been Launched” where I detailed a former Anthropic and OpenAI employee with almost no prior X footprint posted a polished warning that the labs are “gambling with our lives.” It exploded to 123 million views in a day. Mainstream media, NGOs, and members of Congress materialize on cue. Two days later, after I wrote my Psyop post, Dario Amodei is on every airwave demanding we “pace the frontier.” Sam Altman nods along and then Elon agrees even after he questioned the well-coordinated messaging. I suspect his motivation for agreeing is that he wants to make sure he is in the room should this path gain momentum. Even Hillary and Obama weighed in…obviously on House Monopoly side. Basically House Monopoly wants embedded evaluators inside the labs and common safety standards. Coordination that would require government blessing and, conveniently, an antitrust waiver so the two biggest closed model shops can sit in a room and decide how fast everyone else is allowed to run and regulate their competition out of existence. This is not altruism, rather this is regulatory capture.

The reasons for attempting this regulatory capture are simple and I touched on it in my previous article. Open source models are putting real pricing pressure on the closed frontier systems. The closed system companies are burning cash with profitability nowhere in sight. Enterprises are finally asking about ROI and whether they want their data sitting inside OpenAI or Anthropic. Secondary market valuations are starting to crack. Growth is slowing and capex is increasingly getting harder to finance.

Ilhan Omar Snaps on Reporter Over Immigration Fraud Investigation, Denies She’s Under Investigation – Says Tom Homan Has Been “Saying Dumb Sh*t Like You”

Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Wednesday responded to the Trump Administration saying they’ve launched a criminal investigation into her by laughing and calling the comments by Border Czar Tom Homan “dumb sh*t.”

LindellTV’s Allison Steinberg confronted Omar in the House office building, asking, “Tom Homan said that you’re under criminal investigation for immigration marriage fraud. Any comment on that?”

But Omar brazenly laughed about the criminal activity and said, “No, I don’t have a comment for that.”

“What a ridiculous thing to ask,” she added when asked if she married her brother. “Did you marry your brother?” she continued, calling the allegation “disgusting.”

Asked, “why are you being criminally investigated?” Omar said, “I am not,” and called Tom Homan a liar.

“He is. He’s been saying some dumb sh*t, like you,” Omar told Steinberg.

This comes after Homeland Security Secretary Mullin on Friday confirmed that Ilhan Omar “married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,” and there is an “ongoing investigation”

“Something’s going to happen,” Mullin said, adding, “If we can prove that you shouldn’t have been here in the first place, we’ll deport you.”

Comer demands release of Ilhan Omar immigration evidence so Congress can weigh expulsion

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee is vowing to pursue a contempt vote against financier Leon Black for refusing testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein probe and calling on the Trump administration to release any evidence showing whether Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar broke immigration laws and should be expelled from Congress.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., made the comments Monday night after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and White House border czar Tom Homan indicated such evidence involving Omar exists and is under investigation.

“I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public,” Comer said during an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. “The evidence that I’ve seen would show that they would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have is public already, anyway. So I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this.

“Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that.”

Mullin revealed Thursday there is evidence that Omar, D-Minn., “married her brother” as part of an alleged immigration scheme and there is an “ongoing” investigation.

“We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States,” Mullin told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, adding that Omar’s ex-husband lives in London. 

Mullin explained that lying about certain things on an immigration application can result in deportation, and there’s no expiration for that. 

The investigation may turn up “illegal activity,” which could result in Omar being deported, Mullin suggested. He cautioned that the case is still being investigated and insisted it’s not politically motivated. 

Omar became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, when she was 17 years old, and she has vehemently denied marrying her brother. 

Homan confirmed Sunday federal officials are looking into the allegations as part of an “ongoing criminal investigation.”

“I know things are going on, but I can’t give specifics of what’s happening,” he said.

‘Shady’: Watch Dem activist admitting to ’roundabout way of paying people for their votes’

In a stunning development that does nothing to support the Democrats’ wild claims that election fraud is so rare as to be nonexistent, an official with a political action committee linked to Democrat socialist Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has admitted to “essentially” paying people for votes.

“It’s a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially,” explained Sky McAdams, an “organizing manager” for Texas Majority PAC, on an undercover video.

The video, obtained by Townhall Media, explains the program offers voters $25 to attend a one-hour “class.”

“We are paying people $25 … a roundabout way of paying people for their votes,” explains McAdams.

It’s part of a scheme to elect Talarico to the U.S. Senate.

In the video, McAdams says it’s called a “paid relational program,” which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally. In a campaign finance report filed in July, Texas Majority PAC said it paid Relentless $500,000 for a “relational organizing program,” or about 20 percent of all its expenditures up to that point. At $25 per vote, that could be good for 20,000 ballots.

‘Bombshell’ Report Says UAE Explicitly Warned Netanyahu of October 7 Attack

Policy experts in the US and Middle East on Tuesday were among those responding to an “astonishing” new investigation from Haaretz, which detailed how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was alerted weeks before the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack that a “major event” was being planned by the Palestinian group—an assault that killed more than 1,200 Israelis and which Israel has responded to by slaughtering more than 73,000 Palestinians so far in Gaza.

Highlighting revelations contained in an upcoming book called Hostages: 843 Days of Abandonment, by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, the Israeli newspaper reported that Netanayahu dismissed a warning about the attack from United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed, which came in a phone call in September 2023.

Ottawa’s $1.4B research fund bankrolls climate comics, dancefloor studies, Trudeau speech analysis and ancient beer research

Ottawa’s $1.4-billion social sciences research program is funding studies into Arctic climate comics, Canadian dancefloors, low-carbon videogames and the “contested meaning” of former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s speeches.

A Canadian Taxpayers Federation analysis of federal grant data found the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council awarded $43,693 to an Ottawa professor who plans to analyze 326 Trudeau speeches.

The research will track Trudeau’s use of words including “feminist,” “reconciliation,” “protest” and “freedom.”

“Studies about climate comics and the state of Canadian dancefloors don’t sound like studies that matter most to Canadians like the government claims,” said CTF federal director Franco Terrazzano.

Other grants include $78,623 to study the “state of the dancefloor in Canada,” $79,999 for research into “nasal harmony in Amazonian languages” and $88,591 to examine Arctic climate comics.

Concordia University professor Antonia Hernández received $99,850 for a project called A Liquid Frontier: Water Governance through Choral Storytelling. One of the project’s co-applicants is a theatre professor specializing in puppetry.

An Alberta-based professor received $37,275 for a “Low-Carbon Game Jam.” Her previous work included placing a solar-powered server on an apartment balcony to host video games, even though the server can shut down during dark or cloudy weather.

Another $70,529 will fund research into the “sounds of horror cinema.”

The taxpayers’ group identified at least 50 projects concerning other countries that collectively received nearly $3.9 million. They include $93,467 for a digital edition of a 1908 book about Sri Lankan art, $65,833 to study Western-style sweets in Japan and $30,987 for research into “struggling temple brewers in sixth century BCE Mesopotamia.”

“A government that can find $30,987 for temple brewers in ancient Mesopotamia can find savings for Canadian taxpayers,” Terrazzano said.

The council has previously funded studies into the “birth, life and death” of a grocery cart, gender politics in Peruvian rock music and casual sex among young adults living in Jasper.
