• @MarioNawful

• BRITISH KIDS ARE SWALLOWING MAGNETS FOR FUN?! Yep, tiny metal balls from toys are landing hundreds of kids in hospitals across the UK—and some are barely making it out alive. Doctors are yanking magnets out of toddlers’ intestines after emergency surgeries that sound more like horror movies than playtime cleanups. One girl swallowed fourteen. Another kid ate fifty-four just to see if he’d become a human fridge. Spoiler: He didn’t. But his guts nearly exploded. This “magnet trend” is blowing up thanks to viral stunts and dodgy online sellers—and no one’s stopping it. 
• NVIDIA'S CEO RETURNS TO COMPUTEX WITH AI ARSENAL. Jensen Huang isn’t just unveiling new tech—he’s redefining what the future of AI computing looks like. From robotics to cloud systems, Huang is expected to drop major updates that could reshape how AI is deployed and scaled across industries. Last year, fans called it “Jensanity.” This year, he’s armed with Blackwell Ultra chips, a desktop AI system, and CPUs built to run Windows. 
• THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF PEOPLE—AND IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK. Forget robots taking your job—soon there won’t be enough humans left to do them anyway.

• STARMER MAY UNDO BREXIT... TO PLEASE BRUSSELS. Imagine breaking up with someone, then begging to follow their house rules just to hang out again. That’s basically what the UK might do with the EU. PM Keir Starmer’s about to sign a deal where Britain follows EU laws again, obeys their judges, and lets millions of young Europeans live and work here—while still saying he’s tough on immigration. Cool trick.
• AMERICA’S LAWSUITS COST $529 BILLION—AND GUESS WHO’S PAYING? That’s over $4,200 per household just to keep the tort system running. Yes, you’re basically funding courtroom drama without popcorn. These costs are growing faster than inflation—7.1% a year. If that keeps up, we’ll be flirting with $1 TRILLION by 2030. California, Georgia, and Texas are the worst offenders. West Virginia, somehow, is the legal MVP—cutting costs by 20% with reforms and posting the cheapest bill: $2,100 per household.

• @LauraLoomer

• President Trump has bad actors working for him subverting his agenda. At the highest levels. I accepted a position at DHS HQ not because I needed a job, but because I wanted to fight for my children’s future and the future of this country from the inside. I was just fired from DHS HQ for fighting the career bureaucrats that are subverting Trump’s agenda, and moreover, hellbent on continuing the destruction of America. In the coming days I will be dropping bombs that will include specifics on how household names - people you think are “conservative” - are not who you think they are. Oh boy.
• SCOOP: I’m told White House Counsel and the DOJ are currently prepping Stanley Woodward for his Senate Confirmation hearing, even though close allies to the President were told Stanley would not be confirmed after my oppo on Woodward was published. The day of his hearing has been scheduled for May 21st (my birthday lol) and his name is not being listed on the Senate website for his confirmation because they likely don’t want a flood of MAGA protest over Stanley’s nomination, even though they now know he’s a Marxist who sued the Trump admin and made 15 donations to Obama.
• President Trump reposted a post on Truth Social that says “Why haven't they raided his house in the middle of the night and arrested him?” in reference to Former FBI Director James @comey. Comey recently called for President Trump to be ASSASSINATED! (pic)
• Why is @BillClinton traveling to South Korea, likely with a full US Secret Service detail, for over a week 2 weeks before South Korea’s elections? Is he trying to help create a communist takeover in South Korea on US taxpayer dime? Sure looks like it. Reporters should ask Bill Clinton why he’s going to South Korea as their elections kick off.

• @BiancoResearch

• Why the Moody’s downgrade of the US SHOULD BE a nothingburger —- In August 2011, S&P went first and downgraded the US from AAA to AA+. All hell broke loose. The reason hell broke loose was a lot of derivative contract, loan agreements, investment directives and the like prohibited the use of any non-AAA security. The fear was treasuries were not eligible collateral, and could put some people in violation of their directives or in technical default. In years after 2011 those contracts were rewritten to say government securities, excluding the qualification of the credit rating.  That’s why in August 2023, when Fitch downgraded to the US to AA+, the US became a split rated AA+ country. This downgrade had almost no effect on the bond market.

• @quay_dr

• Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases. The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic. Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025. It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.

• @mrddmia

• From first arrest to its ruling, it took the Supreme Court over 30,000 hours to provide relief to January 6th defendants persecuted by Biden. From habeas petition to its ruling, it took the Supreme Court only about 24 hours to provide relief to Tren de Aragua foreign terrorists.

• CHINA: Why did President Biden fail to enforce the Phase One trade agreement with China? The CCP was allowed to ignore its obligations under the agreement and it cost the US $2 trillion in lost GDP. The Chinese delegation admitted Biden allowed them to ignore the deal. (video)
• GENOCIDE: Trump has granted asylum to almost 9,000 refugees since taking office, fewer than 2% of whom are white. But the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the drive-by media are claiming the admission of 59 white farmers facing South African genocide is racist. (video) 
• DOGE: Rep. Harris noting that what was once dismissed as conspiracy theory, before Elon Musk, & DOGE, is reality: over 2M illegal aliens were given SSNs in 2024, more than 1M received Medicaid, & the taxpayer burden now exceeds $150B/yr. (video)

• @mrddmia

• Let’s get this straight: Obama can drone strikes Americans. But Trump can’t repel foreign terrorists. Biden can import over 10 million illegal aliens. But Trump can’t send them home without years of court process. The American people never agreed to this. Not at our founding. Not after the Civil War. Not anytime since then. Certainly not in the last election. The Supreme Court is heading down a perilous path.

• Welcome to ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY AMERICA. Republican Congress REFUSES to do their job: "Nothing we can do." RINOs keep selling us out: "Nothing we can do." Leftist judges defy the sitting president: "Nothing we can do." Mayors and Governors defy the sitting president: "Nothing we can do." Congresswoman helps ILLEGALS to stay in our country: "Nothing we can do." Democrats DEFRAUD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE with an INSANE PRESIDENT for 4 years: "Nothing we can do." INSANE Democrat president opens our border to terrorists and criminals: "Nothing we can do."

• This isn’t a game the deep state is playing. They’re in it to get total control over our lives, to destroy everything good and decent in our country and to act as though we’re too stupid to realize what they’re up to. DEEP STATE … WE THE PEOPLE GOT YOUR NUMBER AND WE’RE DONE WITH YOUR NONSENSE! I’ve said many times, arrogance will be your downfall and that is exactly what is happening. May GOD have mercy on your souls. (video)

• Moody's is now officially a political agency, not a credit rating agency. They downgraded America's credit rating from Triple A under Trump, but before, when Biden spent $5 trillion and sent inflation to 9% - no problem at all. Trump's pro-growth tax cuts make America richer and reduce credit risk.
• Why won't Republicans cut blue state tax subsidies? Despite ZERO Democratic support for the Trump tax bill, GOP leaders continue to champion the SALT deduction, disproportionately benefiting blue states—75% of SALT deductions flow to these areas. This not only rewards higher taxes in liberal states but also undermines economic growth by perpetuating poor fiscal policy. (list)

• Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
