Those who hate a place should not be elected to represent it.

Kelsey Grammer, dad of 8, on the US education system:

“I think the educational community has really dropped the ball, probably deliberately in a lot of ways.

They don’t like the idea that we are a great country. Somewhere along the way, our education system decided we aren’t, and that’s what they teach our children.

“If you’re learning that from your teachers—and we believe our teachers—you start to think, well, maybe they’re right.

“You begin searching your soul for why you come from a ‘crap’ place, why you’re not a good person, why our country isn’t good anymore.

“That means mom and dad aren’t very good either, are they? There’s a whole series of questions that follow.

“What we’re doing to our children is basically child abuse.

“Someone deliberately set out to introduce the idea that we aren’t a good country through our educational system.”

Is El-Sayed's Campaign Funded by Elderly Fake Donors?
ActBlue says an 88-year-old widow has given over $150k to Dems over the past five years, but she says that's not possible

By Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff

Milan — Out in the country on a rutted dirt road lined with corn lives an old woman and her dog.

Elizabeth Waffle, 88, was forced to move into a shabby trailer two years ago after her house burned down. She owns an old pickup truck but no computer.

Nevertheless, Waffle, who lives on a modest pension, is a true believer in liberal causes and continues to make small political donations by way of ActBlue—the Democrat online fundraising platform.

But somehow, those few dozen small donations she has made over the past five years have transmogrified into 14,696 donations totaling more than $150,000—the equivalent of eight donations a day, every day for the past five years, averaging $9.18.

“One hundred and fifty thousand?” Waffle said with real surprise. “Hell no. I don’t have that kind of money.”

She says she has contributed to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Socialist running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, but not 47 times spanning the last two years, as federal filings show.

El-Sayed promises to get money out of politics. He makes a great show of refusing corporate PAC money. But that’s just wordplay.

El-Sayed does take special interest money. He takes money from his father-in-law. Most concerning, he takes money from ActBlue.

The subject of multiple investigations, the fundraising platform is accused of “rinsing” foreign money and massive private donations by using the stolen names and addresses of real, often elderly Americans to fabricate hundreds of small-dollar donations. Names like Elizabeth Waffle.

ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones recently invoked her Fifth Amendment rights 22 times during a congressional hearing regarding foreign contributions.

According to FEC campaign contributions compiled by Bob Cushman, ActBlue shows Waffle donating from her trailer, even though she has no computer and spotty internet access. It also shows her donating from an apartment she rented in town two years ago after her house burned down. Sometimes it shows Waffle donating from both the trailer and the apartment on the same day. It shows her donating to out-of-state candidates she’s never heard of.

“This is very abnormal,” said Waffle, who sat in the trailer threshold looking over the paperwork I had brought. “I think it’s wrong, and I think there’s something in there that’s off.”

El-Sayed’s campaign brags that he’s the top Michigan fundraiser off the ActBlue platform, having raised 10 times the money from small-dollar donors than his primary opponent, Haley Stevens.

Stevens has also taken ActBlue money. As has Slotkin, Whitmer, Nessel, Benson, Gilchrist, and the entire Democrat gang.

But it is Abdul who plays the sanctimony card. If he is really serious about getting corrupt money out of politics, then he ought to get off ActBlue and return the money.

Anything else is elder abuse.

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

After a tough @detroitredwings last loss last night, not sure many stayed around for the very end of postgame. It was the last ever for FanDuel/Bally/Fox Sports Detroit. This is long but stellar by Jay Tuohey. The faces. The memories of almost 30 years on the air.

Almost every time I go to a protest, some Singham or Soros soldier comes to stop the interview. I'm gonna continue to expose as many as I can while I investigate the money trail.

This is Sam Lee who works as a protestor in New York and Washington DC. PSL follows his personal instagram account and there's no record of him working an actual job, just at around 100 protests.

POV: A guy with ChatGPT and Google AlphaFold just built a custom mRNA cancer vaccine to save his dog.

this story is actually insane.

a tech guy in australia adopted a rescue dog with aggressive cancer and only months to live.

so he did something wild:

> paid ~$3k to sequence the tumor dna
> used chatgpt to analyze the mutations
> used google’s alphafold to model the proteins
> identified drug targets and designed a custom mRNA cancer vaccine

he had zero background in biology.

after months of paperwork, the vaccine was approved and injected.

within weeks the tumor shrank dramatically and the dog started recovering.

meanwhile pharma companies are running $1B trials to do the exact same thing.

the future of personalized medicine with AI is going to be insane.

We witnessed one of the most amazing moments you'll ever see at a high school event tonight at Schneider Arena.

Colin Dorgan, who lost his mother, brother & grandfather in the Lynch Arena shooting last month, scores a 2OT game-winner to send his team to the @RIIL_sports D-II championship game.

Incredible resilience from this young man & this BVS team.

Fortunate to call this emotional moment with Marty Crowley tonight on the NFHS Network.

EXPLOSIVE:
Some families of victims in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy say the CBC has been censoring, misrepresenting, and selectively editing their interviews.

“We don’t trust the mainstream media anymore,” former NHL player Chris Joseph (@cjoseph23) says.

Joseph alleges that the CBC selectively edited their interviews, including those of other families, in ways that suppressed their true views and favored Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who is fighting deportation to India after running a stop sign and crashing into the team bus, killing 16 people, including Joseph’s son.

“Karen Pauls twisted the narrative, and a lot of media has been like that,” Joseph alleges, addressing her recent coverage of convicted criminal Sidhu about his fight against deportation.
