💰💰 More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report released Thursday by a government watchdog group.
⭕️ Fourteen of the 27 known corporate donors to the $400 million project, which would replace the East Wing that Trump demolished in October, have seen their government business grow in that window, according to the report from Public Citizen, a nonprofit. Most of those same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing or have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term, the nonprofit found.
⭕️ The donors have sprawling interests that touch nearly every aspect of American life, including defense contracting, technology and energy. Trump has repeatedly touted the gifts as a boon to taxpayers, but critics of the project say the administration’s refusal to release a full list of donors creates the potential for corruption.

Farewell to Paris
Day before yesterday I spent the afternoon autographing French translations of my books in what is called an identitarian bookstore, filled exclusively with titles of the kind Amazon loves to ban and that would never be displayed in an American bookstore. If there were such a store in, say, Chicago or New York City, antifa would break the windows, cover the place in graffiti, and even attack customers. I spent three very pleasant hours signing copies of my books and chatting with people kind enough to say that my writing had been an inspiration to them.
Yesterday, however, I experienced something equally unlikely in the United States. A group of identitarians called Les Natifs (the natives) had arranged a talk for me. The event had been advertised discreetly on social media, but the police became aware of it and contacted the head of the group to say that it was forbidden to hold the meeting within the city limits of Paris. The Natives arranged at a moment's notice to move the meeting to the nearby town of Versailles. We all gathered there and I had just been introduced and was beginning my talk, when the police burst in and explained that it was an illegal meeting and that we were to disperse. The officer in charge handed me a lengthy document listing the grounds on which the meeting had been declared illegal. Ironically, one of those grounds was the famous French Declaration of the Rights of Man. Apparently it does not apply to the white man, certainly not if he is defending his right to remain master in his own home. The document went on to explain that given my past statements, it was likely that by speaking in Versailles, I would fall afoul of hate speech laws and by so doing disturb the public order. By silencing me in advance, the French state was protecting me from the possibility of arrest and deportation. I'm grateful to these officers of the French Republic for their kind consideration.
I lived in Paris as a student, and I'm still very fond of the city despite the Great Replacement that has transformed vast parts of it. I look forward, someday, to returning under more welcoming circumstances.
On a more serious note, all orthodoxies lash out most viciously as they die, and the orthodoxy of egalitarianism and dispossession is dying before our eyes. The French State loses legitimacy with every act of repression and censorship.
Comrades, whatever your nationality, wherever you live, the fight goes on, from strength to strength. We have the right to be us, and only we can be us!
⁉️⁉️ The biggest battle in Karmelo Anthony's murder trial so far isn't over evidence ... it's over whether jurors can put their personal feelings aside.
⭕️ During jury selection this week in Collin County, Texas, several potential jurors admitted they would struggle to convict Anthony -- or send him to prison -- because of his age, with one person reportedly telling the court, "He looks like a child."
⭕️ One potential juror reportedly said, "I don't think I can make a decision about somebody so young. One mistake, one argument, one conflict, you can't say he's a bad person."
⭕️ Another prospective juror raised eyebrows after admitting, "I don't know if I feel right putting a brother in jail," when asked about finding a black defendant guilty of murder.
⭕️ Anthony, now 18, is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow teen Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet in April 2025.

@Leaflit It is inevitable normies will blindly trust an e-celeb rather coming up with a conclusion themselves and neither is that a bad nor good thing but can be a useful.
In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.
In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.
It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.
