It wasn’t that long ago that Democrats praised Signal App as the “gold standard” of encrypted messaging.
It was The Atlantic that published the report praising Signal and in the report they admit that Hillary Clinton and Obama staffers used the app.
Despite all of this, Democrats are trying desperately to make “Signalgate” a thing.
The same group that allowed 20 million unvetted illegals into the country want you to think they believe in national security.
Stern Magazine is calling for mass conscription of German youths to join the army, including to ensure the defense of “freedom and diversity.” The reaction to the article has been harsh to say the least, with hundreds of negative comments directed at Stern.
The article, entitled “Others no longer defend us? Then we must do it ourselves!” claims that “the USA no longer wants to protect Germany. This brings a bitter realization: Our unbearable complacency must end.”
The solution? Start drafting German youth to fight the future wars. The author, Tilman Gerwien, a German male noticeable well past the age of someone who might typically be drafted, says that the days of a “dollhouse-like Bullerbü” are over and “we have to grow up.” He details the left’s traditional stance against conscription, which saw German youths demanding American troops leave Germany, was “not only a matter of conscience, but also a lifestyle.” He noted that at demonstrations against NATO, “people hopped around in peace-loving spirits, chanting ‘Out of NATO, into fun!’” All of this has to end, according to Gerwien, who does not seem particularly like the type of person to rush into battle himself.
There is no way to know if Gerwien was ever a part of these previous protests or ever shared those sentiments at one time, but it is notable that he is now old enough to not have to face the draft himself. Lucky him.
The mainstream media continuously points out that while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed readiness to accept the Trump administration’s proposed thirty-day ceasefire without preconditions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said only that he supports the idea of a ceasefire while attaching preconditions that render it unworkable.
Neither claim is true. Zelensky has attached preconditions, and Putin’s preconditions are not a priori designed to render a ceasefire unworkable.
Zelensky has said, not that he has no preconditions, but that “We do not set conditions that complicate anything.” Though largely omitted from the mainstream narrative, Zelensky has agreed to negotiations with certain key preconditions. According to reporting by The Independent, Kiev stipulates that negotiations must guarantee the return of children abducted by Russia and of Ukrainian civilians illegally held by Russia. Two key red lines are that no territory beyond that already occupied by Russia be ceded and that adequate security guarantees be given. Those security guarantees, Zelensky has previously made clear, must be NATO membership or must be international forces that include the United States.
Though those two key red lines have escaped criticism, they are not categorically different from Putin’s key preconditions. Putin, too, has made territorial demands to address Ukraine’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements and to protect the rights and lives of ethnic Russians in Ukraine. And Putin, too, has made security demands to address NATO’s failure to implement its promise not to expand east, a broken promise that has made its way all the way to Ukraine and threatened Russia’s security. The Kremlin has recently called this its own “ironclad” security guarantee, and the Russian readout of the conversation between Trump and Putin refers to “the root causes of the crisis” and “Russia’s legitimate interests in the field of security.”
The German socialists (SPD) are desperately seeking new ways to improve their standing after the electorate roundly rejected their political agenda—especially relating to mass migration—in the February elections.
An outright ban on the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) opposition is, of course, one option. Another is funnelling taxpayer cash into the coffers of media organisations that can be trusted to put a positive spin on the SPD’s flaws.
Such considerations appear now to have made their way into ongoing coalition talks, in which Friedrich Merz’s CDU has already proved happy to ‘cede ground’ further to the left.
Die Stimme Berlins reports that the SPD is calling for a new “media innovation fund” which would provide state support to what the paper described as “reliable” and “trustworthy” publications. That is, reliable and trustworthy according to the state.
AfD Bundestag member Götz Frömming said this, in effect, would mean papers that are “loyal to the [governing] party line,” while journalist Henning Rosenbusch added that ‘reliable’ translated in this case to “preemptively obedient government propaganda.”
Reports also note that the fund would be intended to support these selected media companies while they improve their digital arms—which, of course, is where influencing can today take place most effectively—as well as to combat ‘disinformation.’
This closely follows a slew of criticism surrounding accusations that the main U.S. aid agency’s (USAID) funds were used to deliver particular political outcomes in Europe, as well as calls by leftist Brussels officials for taxpayers to fund, effectively, pro-European Union propaganda.
Apollo News claims that the SPD demand is currently being met with “displeasure” from CDU negotiators. But with Merz, the chancellor-in-waiting, hoping to forge a coalition by April 20th, it is not at all difficult to imagine the ‘conservatives’ backing down.
President Trump on Monday responded to a report where the Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief claimed he was included on a Signal group where cabinet officials discussed military strikes on Houthi Muslims in Yemen.
The President delivered remarks Monday with Republican Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Hyundai Motor Group executives to announce a “major economic development project for Louisiana.”
The South Korean auto manufacturer announced a $5.8 billion investment in American manufacturing to build its first-ever steel mill in the U.S., which President Trump said will produce “more than 2.7 million metric tons of steel per year” and create more than 1,400 steel jobs.
“In the next couple of years,” the President said, Hyundai will be investing at least $21 billion in U.S. manufacturing and “massively increasing its auto manufacturing in Georgia.”
“This investment is a very clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work,” President Trump added. “The tariffs are bringing them in at levels that have not been witnessed.”
During an exchange with a reporter in the Roosevelt Room of the White House after the announcement, the President was asked if he had a response to the Atlantic’s reporting on military operations that were allegedly revealed to a reporter.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump-hating crank Jeffrey Goldberg claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
The so-called “Houthi PC small group” allegedly included National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance.
In a fiery rebuttal to recent allegations published by far-left The Atlantic, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth firmly denied claims that he and other top Trump administration officials inadvertently shared classified military strategies in a group chat.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Jeffrey Goldberg, the rabidly anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, has cooked up a wild tale about being “accidentally” added to a secure Signal group chat with top Trump officials.
According to Goldberg’s latest hit piece, this chat allegedly contained sensitive details about military strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
Goldberg claims that heavyweights like National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance were part of a so-called “Houthi PC small group,” plotting a long-overdue reckoning for the Houthis.
Let’s be real—Goldberg’s track record is a laundry list of anti-Trump hoaxes, from the debunked “suckers and losers” fabrication to his relentless Russia collusion fantasies. Now, he’s peddling this tale of stumbling into a supposed digital war room, claiming it all started with a Signal connection request from Mike Waltz on March 11.
Goldberg alleges Waltz invited him to the chat on March 13, just days before American bombs began pounding Houthi targets.
Liberal New York Times columnist Ezra Klein is considered a leading political mind by many people on the left, but in his recent appearance on ‘Real Time’ with Bill Maher, he demonstrated that Democrats are truly out of ideas.
It’s important to watch what the left is saying, in order to know where they’re going next and this segment speaks volumes.
In the clip below, Klein says that he thought the best thing about Elon Musk embracing MAGA is that he would sell the idea of electric vehicles to conservatives but that he failed. Naturally, he ignores the fact that it is the left who are currently targeting Tesla dealerships and in some cases even lighting them on fire.
When the subject of deregulation comes up, Bill Maher points out that this is one of the issues that is driving people out of blue states. Klein then suggests that Democrats should simply stop using the word ‘regulations’ and replace it with the simpler sounding word ‘rules.’
That’s a classic liberal move. Don’t address the problem, just change the word.
Videos circulating on social media have revealed that the police in Romania’s increasingly corrupt, globalist-authoritarian state have conducted house raids on alternative media figures accused of involvement in voter bribery during Călin Georgescu’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Amid a nationwide crackdown on supporters of Călin Georgescu, Romanian police, acting under the direction of prosecutors, carried out 17 raids across the capital, Bucharest, and nine other counties on Thursday. The raids mainly targeted TikTok influencers suspected of supporting the anti-establishment candidate, according to reports from the Romanian press.
Among those raided was TikTok personality Makaveli (real name: Alexandru Virgil Zidaru), known for his anti-establishment views and connections to right-wing MEP Diana Iovanovici-Sosoaca.
Sosoaca, an MEP for SOS Romania, one of Romania’s three populist right parties, was barred from last year’s election after the Constitutional Court ruled that her anti-NATO, anti-EU rhetoric and support for closer ties with Russia were disqualifying factors.
Georgescu, a vocal critic of NATO, the EU, and aid to Ukraine, achieved an unexpected victory in the first round of last year’s election, garnering some 23% of the central-eastern European nation’s vote to the establishment’s dismay.
Celebrations were short-lived, however, as it didn’t take long for Romania’s politicized Constitutional Court to annul the results, citing funding irregularities and intelligence reports that claimed Russia had influenced the election.
To this day, no evidence of Georgescu’s wrongdoing has been revealed, yet authorities have accused social media influencers of influencing public opinion. Like MEP Diana Iovanovici-Sosoaca, Romania’s election authority has banned Georgescu from running, even though he had been leading in the polls with 44% of the first-round vote.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed Friday that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into a leak of classified intelligence aimed at discrediting Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA).
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche criticized the leak as a politically motivated attempt by the “Deep State” to undermine President Trump’s agenda, particularly his recent crackdown on the gang.
“The Justice Department is opening a criminal investigation relating to the selective leak of inaccurate, but nevertheless classified, information from the Intelligence Community relating to Tren de Aragua (TDA),” Blanche said in a statement.
He continued, “We will not tolerate politically motivated efforts by the Deep State to undercut President Trump’s agenda by leaking false information onto the pages of their allies at the New York Times. The Alien Enemies Proclamation is supported by fact, law, and common sense, which we will establish in court and then expel the TDA terrorists from this country.”
U.S. recession risks have been a headline over the last few weeks as the markets sold off.
“Goldman Sachs and Moody’s Analytics in recent days joined forecasters raising alarm about the increased likelihood of an economic downturn. The warnings coincided with a market plunge touched off by U.S. tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China, some of which were delayed. Retaliatory tariffs issued by China on Monday deepened a trade war between the world’s two largest economies.” – ABC News
That concern is interesting as there was no such concern in January.
“As of January, the risk of a U.S. recession was considered small. A low unemployment rate and rising wages meant consumers were continuing to spend, inflation was drifting down towards the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and the U.S. central bank had cut interest rates by a full percentage point since September. Fed officials considered it a stable foundation for continued growth, and many economists thought the central bank had nailed a “soft landing” from the high inflation of 2021 and 2022.” – Reuters.
Over the last couple of weeks, the market sell-off eclipsed 10% on an intraday basis, sending investor sentiment plummeting to levels usually seen during more significant declines and previous bear markets. While the markets have had a phenomenal run over the past two years, investors seemed to have forgotten that markets tend to correct now and then.
The one thing you can always count on during a sell-off is the media trying to formulate a headline to rationalize investor actions. During this particular decline, it was the return of a U.S. recession.
