Woke Couple Wakes Up to a Disgusting Surprise After Fleeing Texas for Maine Because of ‘Climate Change’

A left-wing couple who recently fled the great state of Texas for Maine because they were so concerned about ‘climate change’ received a nasty little gift one morning from a ‘new neighbor.’

The Bangor Daily News wrote a story on Monday about two people named Shawn and Sara Good, who moved to the town back in March.

The paper noted that Shawn and Sara had lived in Austin since 2006 and 2011, but had grown fed up with the sometimes crazy weather events.

Of course, the couple blamed the Texas state government for their inconveniences.

“We had a lot of reasons to move away from Austin, but the one that hit us the hardest was the weather,” Shawn told the Bangor Daily News. “We were facing our fourth catastrophic event in five years, and nobody was doing anything to address it.

But less than two months after setting down in the small city of roughly 33,000 residents, they woke up one late April morning to find someone had taken a dump on their front porch.

The person responsible had slept there overnight on outdoor furniture cushions and apparently found it proper to relieve himself like a wild animal.

This incident completely shocked the ‘tolerant’ couple, who obviously expected paradise. The clean-up afterward was no fun, either.

AI Safety Institute Debuts with Big-Name Backers and a Censorship Agenda

Common Sense Media’s Youth AI Safety Institute arrived at the Danish Parliament this week and the guest list is stacked with people who think you can’t be trusted to speak freely online.

Hillary Clinton, Ursula von der Leyen, former Biden Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Ofcom chief Melanie Dawes, and the head of an organization that wants to break end-to-end encryption are all gathering at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen to announce what they’d like to do next about AI and children.

The “next” part is where it gets concerning. The Youth AI Safety Institute, launched by Common Sense Media on May 5, says it will “complement efforts by regulators and policymakers to translate frameworks such as the EU AI Act, the Digital Services Act, and the UK Online Safety Act into practical protections for child-safe AI.”

Those three censorship laws represent the most aggressive government-directed speech suppression regimes currently operating in the Western world. The Institute isn’t questioning them. In fact, it wants to help implement them and push them further.

The summit, titled “Keeping Our Children and Families Safe in the AI Era,” is co-hosted by Common Sense Media, Save the Children Denmark, and Margrethe Vestager, who spent years as the European Commission’s executive vice president building the regulatory architecture that now lets EU officials order platforms to delete content.

More than 200 policymakers, tech executives, and civil society figures are expected. King Frederik X of Denmark is giving the opening address. The Duchess of Edinburgh will attend. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is on the bill.

And so is Pinterest CEO Bill Ready, whose company helped pay for the Institute’s creation.

Netanyahu Says Israel Plans to ‘Wean Ourselves Off’ U.S. Military Aid Over Next 10 Years 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he plans to reduce his country’s dependence on U.S. military aid.

During an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, Netanyahu said he wanted to reduce American aid down to zero over the next decade.

“I’ve said this to President Trump. I’ve said it to our own people.”

“Their jaws dropped, but I said I want to draw down to zero the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have, because we receive 3.8 billion dollars a year.”

“I think that it’s time that we weaned ourselves from the remaining military support,” he continued. “I want to start now.”

Israel currently receives roughly $3.8 billion annually under a 10-year agreement signed in 2016 during the Obama administration.

The deal committed the United States to providing Israel with $38 billion in military assistance through 2028.

The funding has helped Israel purchase American-made weapons systems including F-35 fighter jets, precision-guided munitions, missile interceptorr and air defense technology.

The question of U.S. aid to Israel has become a political flashpoint following the Gaza war and the wider regional conflict involving Iran and Hezbollah.

Within the GOP, figures such as Rep. Thomas Massie and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have openly questioned why American taxpayers continue sending billions of dollars overseas while the U.S. faces soaring debt and domestic crises at home.

On the left, anti-Israel sentiment has surged inside the Democratic Party following their military campaign in Gaza.

New Investigation Exposes How Much Roundup Is Being Sprayed in Northern California’s Forests

In remote Northeast California, about 10 miles outside the lumber mill town of Chester and a half-hour’s drive from the old hunting cabin I bought and fixed up about a decade ago, I steer my old Toyota Tacoma down a bumpy dirt road to where the Lassen National Forest gives way to private timberland. Lilly rides shotgun.

We’d come to this exact spot seven years ago. Lilly, my sharp-eyed border collie, had jumped out of the truck and chased a rabbit through a meadow of knee-high grass, returning covered in mud and burrs. The landscape was straight out of an L.L.Bean catalog: a flower-dotted meadow buzzing with life. Douglas firs, incense cedars, and some of the tallest sugar pines on the planet sheltered protected species ranging from gray wolves to Pacific fishers and northern goshawks. The Sierra Nevada red fox, one of California’s rarest mammals, was known to live nearby, amid the vast patchwork of private and public lands. The Lassen area is where I come to reset, forage for wild mushrooms, and let stress evaporate.

But today, I’m looking out over a barren, sun-bleached expanse that stretches across the former meadow and up the sides of denuded mountains as far as the eye can see. No birds. No animals. No insects. No big trees. Just some waist-high piles of volcanic rock, a nod to the still-active Lassen Peak nearby. It is eerily quiet—desolate. The Dixie Fire roared through here in July 2021, burning nearly 1 million acres. The Park Fire three years later took out another 430,000 acres nearby. But the fires aren’t directly responsible for what I’m seeing today. People did this.

Trump Again Threatens to Pull Troops From Italy: ‘They Weren’t There When We Needed Them’

Trump is not one to forgive and forget a betrayal or a slight – even if it is committed by a longtime ally.

For a long time, US President Donald J. Trump had an alliance with right-wing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

She was the only European leader to attend his second inauguration last year.

But the traumatic developments during the ongoing war in Iran collapsed the bilateral relations, after Meloni denied the US permission to use Italian bases for airstrikes against Tehran’s regime, and also took Pope Leo’s side during the recent spat with the US president.

Secretary Marco Rubio went to Italy to meet the Pope and Meloni, but it hasn’t healed the wounds.

This last weekend, Trump again refused to rule out withdrawing American troops from Italy.

Supreme Court Rejects Appeal in COVID ‘Misinformation’ Case, but Doctors Say They Still Won

The U.S. Supreme Court this week declined to hear a key medical free speech case involving basketball hall-of-famer John Stockton and several doctors who alleged that the Washington Medical Commission’s (WMC) COVID-19 “misinformation” policies violated their First Amendment free speech rights.

The court declined, without comment, to review Stockton v. Brown — but only after the WMC lifted the disciplinary charges it had filed against two of the doctors in the case.

Plaintiffs included Drs. Richard Eggleston and Thomas T. Siler, who were sanctioned by the WMC for their pandemic-related speech, and Dr. Daniel Moynihan, who alleged the WMC’s threats “chilled” his speech on pandemic-related topics.

Stockton, co-host of “The Ultimate Assist Podcast,” and Children’s Health Defense (CHD) were also plaintiffs. Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and WMC Executive Director Kyle S. Karinen, a lawyer, were the defendants.

In May 2024, a federal court dismissed the lawsuit, finding that the First Amendment doesn’t protect physicians’ public speech because it is part of medical conduct.

In November 2024 and again in January 2025, the Supreme Court rejected emergency requests for a stay.

In September 2025, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal but did not consider the First Amendment questions in the case. The plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court.

Attorney Rick Jaffe, who represented the plaintiffs, called the Supreme Court’s choice not to hear the case “outrageous.”

But Jaffe said the unreported part of the story is what happened the month before, when the WMC withdrew its statement of charges against Eggleston and Siler, which he called a victory.

“Withdrawal of those charges was the main practical goal of the state litigation concerning these doctors and this federal case … once the Commission rescinded the charges, that was the win,” Jaffe said.

Murphy’s True Allegiance: Illegal Immigrants, Iran, And Ukraine Over American Citizens

From the fabricated Russia collusion narrative to two phony impeachments to his relentless defense of Obama’s catastrophic 2015 Iran nuclear deal, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has been a consistent opponent of American interests. He is one of the Senate’s most vocal proponents for counting millions of illegal immigrants in the census. It is a deceitful and unconstitutional scheme that steals congressional seats and electoral votes from real American citizens.

Murphy actively works to grant political power to millions who illegally crossed our southern border by counting them in the census. This scheme effectively hands extra congressional seats and Electoral College votes to blue states like California and New York, bypassing law-abiding citizens in red states. Far from protecting American sovereignty, Murphy celebrates it as a brilliant political power grab.

Senator Chris Murphy proves that feminism is nothing more than a selective political prop. While Iran stones women, hangs girls for improper clothing, and treats them as property, Murphy has refused to get tough on the ayatollahs. Instead, he viciously attacked President Trump’s strikes against the regime, branding them “illegal,” and has pushed war powers resolutions to limit America’s response to Iranian threats.

91% of Flu Vaccine Recipients Shed Chimeric Lab-Made Vaccine Virus, Raising Transmission Concerns: NIH-Funded Journal ‘Clinical Infectious Diseases’ Study

A newly published, U.S. government-funded, peer-reviewed study has confirmed that a live attenuated influenza vaccine caused detectable post-vaccination viral shedding in more than 91% of adult recipients, raising major questions about whether vaccinated individuals function as carriers and spreaders of vaccine-derived influenza pathogens after immunization.

The findings, published Thursday in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, claim that the purported virus inside the vaccine actively replicated inside recipients after administration and was subsequently shed from the nose in the overwhelming majority of participants.

Researchers from George Washington University evaluated 283 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 49 who received the intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV), FluMist, during the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 flu seasons.

The new paper explicitly states:

“LAIV replication begins within 24 hours and declines over the first week…”

Researchers further explained that the virus in the vaccine:

“replicates in the upper respiratory tract, mimicking a natural infection…”

In plain English, the vaccine virus reproduces inside recipients and is expelled back out through the nose afterward.

Researchers collected nasal swabs on day 1, days 2–4, and days 5–7 after vaccination and measured influenza A and B RNA using RT-PCR testing.

Georgia Data Center Secretly Used 29 Million Gallons of Water, Exposed by Residents’ Low Water Pressure

A major data center campus in Fayette County, Georgia, drew nearly 30 million gallons of water through unmetered connections before the issue surfaced due to complaints of low water pressure from nearby homeowners, county officials said.

The discovery, first reported by Politico, centers on the sprawling 615-acre QTS data center development located about 20 miles south of Atlanta. Quality Technology Services (QTS), owned by Blackstone, operates the site, which is one of the largest data center projects in the United States.

Fayette County investigators found that the campus had been pulling water through two connections the county was unaware of and had not properly billed. As a result, QTS was issued retroactive charges totaling $147,474. County officials estimated the unmetered usage covered roughly four months, while the company maintained the period was between nine and 15 months.

Vanessa Tigert, director of the Fayette County Water System, attributed the oversight to an administrative error that occurred during the county’s transition to smart meters.

“Fayette County is a suburb, it’s mostly residential, and we don’t have much commercial meters in our system anyway,” Tigert said. “And so we didn’t realize our connection point wasn’t working.”

A QTS spokesperson confirmed the company paid the retroactive charges immediately upon notification and said the unmetered usage stemmed from the county’s meter system upgrade.

No fines were issued. County officials emphasized they are maintaining a cooperative relationship with the developer.

The Fayetteville campus currently includes 13 buildings encompassing approximately 6.2 million square feet. It is part of a larger planned development that could eventually include up to 16 buildings.

The incident highlights growing tensions nationwide over the resource demands of data centers. Communities across the U.S. have become increasingly vocal about the strain these facilities place on local water supplies and electrical grids, leading to heightened opposition to new projects.

In a separate but related development, an Indianapolis City-County Council member’s home was shot at in April shortly after he supported rezoning for a data center project. The attack on Ron Gibson came days after a 6–2 vote approving the nearly 14-acre facility in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood.

The Illusion of Tax Relief In Miami-Dade County

In Miami-Dade County, tax relief has become something to celebrate first and question later. Any reduction tied to homestead taxes is framed as a win, a sign that government is finally easing the burden on homeowners. But that celebration rests on a convenient omission. When revenue disappears, obligations do not.

Local governments still fund infrastructure, public safety, education and social services. Cutting one stream of revenue does not eliminate those responsibilities. It simply shifts the burden elsewhere, often in ways that are less visible and far more difficult for taxpayers to track. In Miami-Dade County, that shift is not hypothetical. It is already built into the system.

Florida has aggressively expanded charter schools while preserving the same local property tax structure that funds traditional government-operated public education. School boards continue to collect taxes from homeowners, including those with homestead protections. But those funds no longer support a single, locally-governed system. Under Florida law, public school districts are required to share certain capital outlay funds with charter schools (Fla. Stat. § 1013.62).

The result is a structural contradiction: taxation remains local and mandatory, while control over how those funds are used becomes increasingly fragmented.

For taxpayers, especially older homeowners on fixed incomes, the obligation does not change. They continue paying into a system that has evolved beyond what many originally understood it to be. This is not a reduction in taxation. It is a redistribution of taxation.
