Bruh you (Bush, not OP) are to blame for a big ole chunk of the authoritarian powers this man has.

They had to create an entire office of civil rights and liberties dedicated to DHS just because of the patriot act. Now we still have all the government overreach allowed by the patriot act, and a president who decided if a civil rights office gets in the way of his violating civil rights, he would just shut it down.

I posted an article earlier about how it apparently really hurt his chances in the election thats scheduled next April but it got removed.

Not sure if somebody is just reporting them, but it was the second article related to Hungary and the Pride march that wasn't a repost but still got removed for some reason.

It's more like laughing hysterically because the person trying to bury you alive accidentally got himself trapped in the coffin with you.

Today sucks for so many reasons, but this put a smile on my face. This lost 99-1!! 🤣🤣🤣

Who? Man nobody has heard of desperate for warmth of spotlight.

Didnt they have the same reaction when somebody ate a cheese steak with a knife and fork? The things they fixate on...

Maybe if we keep squawking about a bunch of dumb shit, nobody will notice how many rural Americans are about to be fucked 6 ways from Sunday by this big beautiful bill. Then we can spin it as this guy eating with his hands made you lose your healthcare.

NOTE: The City Council’s criminal-justice committee is slated to discuss surveillance cameras at 10 a.m. today (Monday).

The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) is spying on you and lying about it. On May 29th, 2025, the Washington Post revealed NOPD’s secret collaboration with Project NOLA to use banned Chinese facial recognition cameras all over New Orleans to spy on you. There are more than 5,000 cameras across NOLA. All of them are run by Project NOLA executive director Bryan Lagarde, a former NOPD cop.

I had no idea they were meeting about this today in one hour! I even checked the meeting agenda last night, and didn't see anything related to surveillance.

I was prepared for the meeting on July 10th, and once again, I only found out about this bc I went out of my way looking for any mention of this.

Zero information from City officials or any mainstream local news. Only one mention from a small independent publisher that has been tracking this bullshit since the Palantir scandal of 2018.

I am getting so sick of this evasive bullshit!

Anyone that happens to see this, please watch the live stream at 10 am if you can:

https://cityofno.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=185

If it doesn't work on mobile, it should work on desktop. If they do that pre-meeting, meeting adjourned BS again, close out the window and re-open the Livestream.

I love Raymond Scott! Be sure to also bump all volumes of soothing sounds for babies

Somebody drove through my neighborhood earlier today ~12pm with this song cranked to the absolute maximum volume. It caught my attention and I knew I had heard it before but couldn't remember the name.

Then (I'm assuming it was the same person) drove by playing it again at maximum volume like 20 mins ago. It sent me on a mission to remember it so I could listen to the full song. 10/10 earworm.

It's only as intelligent as the people that control and regulate it.

Given all the documented instances of Facebook and other social media using subliminal emotional manipulation, I honestly wonder if the recent cases of AI chat induced psychosis are related to something similar.

Like we know they're meant to get you to continue using them, which is itself a bit of psychological manipulation. How far does it go? Could there also be things like using subliminal messaging/lighting? This stuff is all so new and poorly understood, but that usually doesn't stop these sacks of shit from moving full speed with implementing this kind of thing.

It could be that certain individuals have unknown vulnerabilities that make them more susceptible to psychosis due to whatever manipulations are used to make people keep using the product. Maybe they're doing some things to users that are harmful, but didn't seem problematic during testing?

Or equally as likely, they never even bothered to test it out, just started subliminally fucking with people's brains, and now people are going haywire because a bunch of unethical shit heads believe they are the chosen elite who know what must be done to ensure society is able to achieve greatness. It just so happens that "what must be done," also makes them a ton of money and harms people using their products.

It's so fucking absurd to watch the same people jamming unregulated AI and automation down our throats while simultaneously forcing traditionalism, and a legal system inspired by Catholic integralist belief on society.

If you criticize the lack of regulations in the wild west of technology policy, or even suggest just using a little bit of fucking caution, then you're trying to hold back progress.

However, all non-tech related policy should be based on ancient traditions and biblical text with arbitrary rules and restrictions that only make sense and benefit the people enforcing the law.

What a stupid and convoluted way to express you just don't like evidence based policy or using critical thinking skills, and instead prefer to just navigate life by relying on the basic signals from your lizard brain. Feels good so keep moving towards, feels bad so run away, or feels scary so attack!

Such is the reality of the chosen elite, steering us towards greatness.

What's really "funny" (in a we're all doomed sort of way) is that while writing this all out, I realized the "chosen elite" controlling tech and policy actually perfectly embody the current problem with AI and bias.

Rather than relying on intelligence to analyze a situation in the present, and create the best and most appropriate response based on the information and evidence before them, they default to a set of pre-concieved rules written thousands of years ago with zero context to the current reality/environment and the problem at hand.

Just a reminder that Louisiana is the 2nd most dependent state on Medicaid.

Every major hospital system is warning the House Speaker this will cause catastrophic harm to people in his own state.

Meanwhile, even the Cato Institute has pointed out Republicans are literally just burning absurd amounts of money on Deportations.

Deportations to Add Almost $1 Trillion in Costs to the “Big Beautiful Bill”

Really curious to hear how Americans are being helped by anything the Republican party is doing right now?

 

As the “big, beautiful bill” teeters towards passage in the Senate, every major health system in Louisiana sent a letter Saturday to the state’s entire congressional delegation, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R), warning that planned cuts to Medicaid would be “historic in their devastation.”

The letter said that the Senate’s version of the bill would cut more than $4 billion in Medicaid funding, with a loss of more than 16,000 jobs. Even the House’s version of cuts, the letter stated, would be a more palatable solution.

However, the “economic consequences pale in comparison to the harm that will be caused to residents across the state, regardless of insurance status, who will no longer be able to get the care that they need,” the letter reads.

“Steep cuts will force consolidation of services, staffing reductions and closures, reducing healthcare access to everyone in our communities. Our rural communities will especially feel the impact as many of these hospitals are already in difficult financial situations and are likely to experience a significant reduction of services.”

Disagree, that's basically saying if you vote in your best interest you can't complain.

What the actual fuck

What the actual fuck is wrong with these idiots?

The headline is that Stephen Miller of the Trump administration, owns stock in Palantir. Miller is not Peter Thiel. Miller is the angry bald guy that is always dramatically screaming we should be more aggressive with deportation policy.

Because he, and 10 others in the administration, own stock in the company that also receives millions in federal contracts regarding immigration and deportation, one might suggest Miller has a vested interest in the policies he is always aggressively screaming about being necessary for America's safety.

Considering that even the conservative Cato institute has said the deportation policies outlined in the big beautiful bill, will ultimately cost tax payers trillions of dollars to fund, one might suggest that the policies Miller and others in the administration have put forth, are actually driven by greed rather than any ideology or belief that what they are doing is in America's best interest.

The blurb mentioning Thiel's company is to provide context to the reader about how much money his company has already made under this administration.

Given that Thiel and the entire administration do all seem to be in agreement that democracy should be dismantled in order for a ruling class of chosen elite to take it's place, one might begin to wonder, if that is really a good idea. It would seem then, that it is as newsworthy as anything else documenting more blatant corruption and scamming of America by the chosen elite who are leading this administration, and hoping to convince everyone what they're doing is in America's best interest.

 

There's a lot of convoluted history behind what led to Project 2025, and that's likely on purpose.

This is a place to collect information about that history into one place, and hopefully get more awareness and discussion going about any odd or interesting information relating to the Heritage Foundation and it’s members or affiliate groups.

If you’ve got obscure information/articles written by or mentioning people like Paul Weyrich, Ed Feulner or other associates and organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation, Council for National Policy (CNP), State Policy Network, and many others, please drop them here.
