ANOTHER NARRATIVE BUSTED: Texas Band’s Sob Story After ICE “Forcibly Removes” Their Drummer From Plane Backfires When The Truth of Drummer’s Violent Past Emerges

As multiple outlets have reported, Lord Buffalo, an Austin, Texas based rock band released a statement on Facebook announcing that their drummer, Yamal Said, was “forcefully removed” from their flight to Europe on Monday by Customs and Border Patrol officials. The plane was departing from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Due to this, they said their tour has been cancelled.

“We are heartbroken to announce we have to cancel our upcoming European tour,” the band wrote. “Our drummer, Yamal Said, who is a Mexican citizen and lawful permanent resident of the United States (green card holder) was forcibly removed from our flight to Europe by Customs and Border Patrol at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Monday May 12.”

“He has not been released, and we have been unable to contact him,” they added. “We are currently working with an immigration lawyer to find out more information and to attempt to secure his release.”

“We are hopeful that this is a temporary setback and that it could be safe for us to reschedule this tour in the future.”

The band later posted an update stating that they had secured legal representation for Said but reiterated that they had no clue why he had been taken into custody to begin with.

The liberal media happily went along with the narrative that an overzealous ICE had cruelly detained a hard-working immigrant. For example, here is how the far-left The Austin Chronicle spun the story.

However, it turns out that the Trump Administration had a good reason for taking Said away. The DHS noted on their X page, after the story went viral, that Said was a Mexican national with a sordid record.

Said had a warrant out for his arrest after violating a restraining order twice. He has since been turned over to local law enforcement.

German Conservative Media Leak Secret Police Dossier Used to Ban and Spy on AfD: Criticizing Mass Migration is “Far Right”

Several conservative German media have published the allegedly “secret” dossier the German intel service used to justify classifying the largest German opposition party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as “confirmed far-right”. The 1100-page dossier contains mainly public statements by party members which criticize open borders and mass immigration.

“Cicero“, “Tichy’s Einblick” and “Junge Freiheit” obtained the 1,100 page dossier which ex-Interior Minister Nancy Faeser used to drop a bomb on the AfD on her last day in office. The German secret political police (Office for the Protection of the Constitution – Verfassungsschutz / BfV) has since retracted its classification of the AfD as “far-right” after the AfD sued in court and US Senator Tom Cotton wrote to DNI Tulsi Gabbard to ask US intel agencies to stop exchanging information with German secret services that spy on the political opposition.

The dossier released by the conservative media did not contain any new revelations, but consists entirely of public statements by AfD politcians that most US conservatives will find completely normal sentiments, such as a Facebook post by the party from September 25, 2023:

Instead of a pointless housing summit: Deportation for more housing! If hundreds of thousands or even millions enter Germany every year without the same number of apartments being built, there won’t be enough housing. So due to rising demand, rents also increase. The result: According to calculations by the housing industry association, up to one million apartments may be missing by 2025. But instead of even talking about how this problem can be reduced through consistent deportations and protected borders, the established parties organize a pointless housing summit and decide on brutal regulations at the expense of the Germans.

Pretty extreme, huh?

Daily Mail Misses the Real Story About Long-Term Stable Antarctica Ice in Dumb Quip About Climate ‘Deniers’

A remarkably silly headline appeared last week in the Daily Mail stating: ‘Shocking Antarctica discovery sends climate change deniers into mass celebration.’ It appears that 100 gigatonnes of ice has been added to the Antarctica ice sheet in a 21-month period to December 2023. Quite how joy will be unconfined in the ranks of the ‘deniers’ over an increase, or decrease, of 0.00041% is not clear. The amount is an ice sheet rounding error and it would be scientifically accurate to refer to it as zero. Even if the figure was a loss, it would take nearly half a million years for all the ice in Antarctica to melt and that does not include any allowance for glacial periods or indeed a new ice age. Unsurprising, in the haste to stick ‘denier’ into the mix, a far more important finding about Antarctica ice was missed. A recent paper undergoing peer review has calculated that around 2,546 gt of ice has been added every year since 1960 to the surface on Antarctica. This would almost certainly have been enough to stabilise any natural losses and it is possible that the ice sheet has been stable or even growing slowly over this period.

The figures for Antarctica’s overall ice mass are difficult to calculate. They must include losses from ice calving and melting and they are thought to total around 2,000 gt a year. Driving ice accumulation in Antarctica is snowfall and there is some evidence that the area is receiving more precipitation than previously thought. The paper led by Dr Christiaan van Dalum of Utrecht University suggests heavy recent accumulations of ice in Antarctica that appear to outweigh any losses at the coast. There is said to be increased precipitation in the mountains of West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula.

It is not always clear in scientific papers just what the authors are comparing. The Daily Mail story arises from a Chinese group whose work on the Antarctica ice sheet appears to concentrate on just four eastern glacial basins. The Chinese findings suggest little or no change while van Dalum points to increases over the entire continent even allowing for significant losses due to natural events. Nevertheless, the key to understanding climate change lies in the length of the observations. Drawing celebratory conclusions over less than two years’ supposed growth is junk science, possibly designed to boost clicks and impress potential advertisers. Assessing results over 60 years as the Dalum paper does offers greater understanding of the dynamics of polar ice.

Smartmatic Suffers Setback in FOX News Case After NY Judge Orders Company to Prove Evidence of Damages

FOX News moved to dismiss the $2.7 billion “meritless” nuisance case by Smartmatic in a press release in February 2021.

FOX News argued at the time, “If the First Amendment means anything, it means that Fox cannot be held liable for fairly reporting and commenting on competing allegations in a hotly contested and actively litigated election.”

Smartmatic suffered a setback in a New York court after a NY judge orders the company to prove it suffered actual damages following the FOX News reporting.

Smartmatic, the controversial election machine company, filed charges against FOX News in February 2021 following a segment on the conservative channel.

Four years later – this week a New York judge ordered Smartmatic to produce real evidence it suffered actual harm from the FOX News segment.

This comes weeks after FOX News again called on the suit to be tossed out.

Cringe View Host Declares “We Have A Black Pope!”

Sunny Hostin, The View’s race baiting grifter panelist, has discovered the kingdom of Wakanda hidden within the Vatican.

On Friday, she slammed the new Pope Leo XIV as a backward bigot for his stance on social issues like LGBTQ+ rights, declaring “This guy’s stuck in the Dark Ages!”

Fast forward to Monday, and Hostin’s done a 180 so sharp it’d give a NASCAR driver whiplash. She Googled the pope’s 23andMe results and discovered he has Haitian roots and a sprinkle of African ancestry.

“We have a Black pope!” she gushed, proclaiming “it’s like a chef’s kiss for me — both of his maternal grandparents are described as black, Haitian, or mulatto in several census documents.”

“And on their marriage license, the grandfather’s birthplace is listed as Haiti, her birthplace is listed as born in New Orleans. They were identified as people of color, but in 1920, when they migrated to Chicago, the census reflected their race as white,” she added.

Ah, if he’s got some black DNA, his denouncement of homosexuality is forgiven then!

Trump Shames Media for Ignoring ‘Genocide’ of White Farmers: ‘If It Were the Other Way Around They’d Talk About It’

President Donald Trump took a blistering shot at establishment media double standards in a fiery White House rebuke Monday.

While speaking at the White House, Trump took a moment to shame the media for the lack of attention given to some of the atrocities happening in South Africa against white Afrikaners — a topic the president cares deeply about.

“It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about,” the U.S. president told reporters. “But it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

“But whether they’re white or black, makes no difference to me. But white farmers are being brutally killed, and their land is being confiscated in South Africa.”

Trump then swiftly turned his ire toward the establishment double standard when it comes to race-based issues.

“And the newspapers, and the media, and the television media doesn’t even talk about it,” Trump continued. “If it were the other way around, they’d talk about it. That would be the only story they talk about.”

Trump finished by stressing: “I don’t care who they are, I don’t care about their race, their color, I don’t care about their height, their weight, I don’t care about anything.

“I just know that what’s happening is terrible. I have people that live in South Africa.

“They say it’s a terrible situation taking place. So we’ve essentially extended citizenship to those people, to escape from the violence and come here.”

In February, Trump signed an executive order that targeted South Africa for “egregious actions.”

German Researcher Calls out Science Magazine for Refusing to Consider Study Pointing to a Wuhan Lab Accident

In one of their many fact-addled news articles, Science Magazine falsely claimed last week that “no compelling evidence supports the allegation that the virus leaked from WIV.” But University Hospital of Wurzburg researcher Valentin Bruttel states that Science constructs this tendentious claim by refusing to even consider publishing studies that point to a possible lab accident.

Bruttel leveled these charges during a wide-ranging interview with the Berliner Zeitung last month. Several German media outlets, including Spektrum and the Frankfurter Allgemeine, reported last year that a British statisician found “blatantly nonsensical” errors in a Science Magazine study that argued against a lab accident.

Bruttel said his paper was accepted by another journal after Science would not even consider looking at it. However, the editor in charge of his paper was dismissed for protesting Israel’s genocide against Gaza. The editor’s replacement then rejected the paper, falsely claiming the journal couldn’t find a reviewer, even though a positive review for the paper had already been submitted to the journal.

“I have made a decisive contribution to clarifying the cause of this pandemic and invested a lot of time in preventing another one,” Bruttel told the Berliner Zeitung. “But I am also a committed democrat. If the majority of Germans are content with the fact that the deaths of millions of innocent people are not addressed, and thus no effective countermeasures are introduced, I have to accept that.”

When Joe Biden’s Brain Melted on ‘The View,’ Something Unexpected Happened: A Democratic Star Was Born

If you haven’t seen the video, it’s absolutely worth watching, because in a (slightly) different timeline — i.e. Biden’s presidential debate with Trump was scheduled closer to November (or canceled altogether) — and the Democrats were capable of keeping those 2020 COVID-era voting restrictions — there’s at least a 45% chance Joe Biden would’ve won a second term.

Seriously. Had he not been unmasked on national TV as an invalid, it’s revisionist history to assume that Biden was a no-hoper. Even after humiliating himself in his one and only debate (“We finally beat Medicare!”), he had a 58% approval rating after dropping out of the race, and trailed Trump by just one point (47% to 46%).

Donald Trump wasn’t the only one who dodged a bullet in 2024: our whole country did. 

Because there’s just no way Joe Biden could’ve handled the rigors of the presidency for another term. He couldn’t even handle the yapping yentas on “The View”.

It was sad. At the 22:58 mark, Biden lacked the cognitive abilities to answer a question about his lack of cognitive abilities. So he rambled. And by the end of his rambling, disjointed response, it’s pretty clear he had forgotten what the original question was, so his wife jumped in and answered for him.

The contrast between the steady clarity of “Doctor” Jill Biden’s voice — and the ex-president’s raspy, meandering performance — was considerable. For all of Joe Biden’s shortcomings and limitations, there was a time when he was an above-average public speaker. He was never on-par with someone such as Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama, but he built his brand by looking, sounding, and playing the part of a liberal’s idea of a working-class hero.

That time is over. At this point, trotting him out on the public stage is borderline elder abuse. 

It’s cruel.

The New York Times gets ever more Orwellian in its effort to rewrite the story of Kilmar Abrego García’s tattoos

Democratic politicians no longer deny Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador on March 15, is part of the brutal MS-13 criminal gang. But the legacy media insists otherwise — and is waging a bizarre campaign to convince readers to ignore the evidence in front of their own eyes.

Like other recent media efforts to rewrite reality, such as the Times’s decision to bury the truth about Army Capt. Rebecca Lobach’s responsibility for January’s Washington, D.C. plane crash, trying to make a hero of Garcia is unlikely to work. But legacy outlets still can’t see these games do nothing but damage their credibility.

To be clear, I believe Garcia deserves due process. Ironically, the Trump administration could have sent him anywhere except El Salvador. I wish the administration would just bring him back (and then deport him again). Nothing will reduce the public’s current support for tight borders faster than the specter of people, American citizens in particular, being wrongly deported.

But this question isn’t about whether Garcia should get due process. It’s about how the media is trying to deify him. Soon after Garcia was sent home in March, the Atlantic and other outlets had created a narrative: he was an innocent, hard-working father of a five-year-old autistic boy. He was a proud American to be, a young man who had escaped El Salvador’s gangs for a better life.

WE VOTED FOR THIS: ICE Agents Raid Restaurant Owned by Husband of Far-Left, Trump-Hating CBS Anchor Norah O’ Donnell and at Least Eight Other Eateries in D.C.

Far-left, Trump-hating CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell and her husband had a terrible day on Tuesday as President Trump continues to lay down the law on illegal immigration.

As FOX 5 DC reported, ICE agents stormed into Chef Geoff’s Restaurant yesterday morning, a D.C. establishment owned by O’Donnell’s husband, Geoff Tracy, and demanded to see the staff’s I-9 forms. The incident occurred at roughly 10:30 A.M.

This caused the entire staff to panic. The agents stayed at the restaurant for 90 minutes and left without arresting anyone.

Chef Geoff’s was not the only eatery targeted. The New York Post revealed that ICE agents also raided at least eight other establishments in the nation’s capital. These included Officina and Mi Vida, Jaleo, Santa Rosa Taqueria, Pupatella, Call Your Mother, Clyde’s, and Millie’s.

NBC 4 News reported that some of the restaurants were given advance notice of the raids. It’s not clear if Chef Geoff’s was among them.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was livid after learning about the Trump administration carrying out their duties:

“I have heard those reports. I’ve been getting them all morning. I am disturbed by them. It appears as though ICE is at restaurants, or even at neighborhoods, and it doesn’t look like they’re targeting criminals, and it does look like they’re disrupting,” Bowser said.

D.C. residents echoed their far-left mayor’s whining when contacted by FOX 5 DC.

“It’s very high anxiety, anxiety-inducing. I think it’s really terrible right now that ICE is taking people and sending them away to El Salvador and these other countries to what are basically concentration camps,” one D.C. resident, Isa, whimpered.
