About the "Somali Fraud" Story...

Image
 It's not a bombshell reveal if the feds have been working on the issue beforehand. But sure, keep blaming immigration for the problems that capitalism is causing (which includes immigration): Again for those in the back: if the United States stop bombing countries, the survivors would not immigrate to America. The claims of people coming here to "steal" from us may sound rational to the desperate, but the better explanation is they're hoping to move to the one place America won't blow up: itself.

Ford (and GM and Stellantis) Kills Their EV

  From Reuters : Ford Motor (F.N), opens new tab said on Monday it will take a $19.5 billion writedown and is killing several electric-vehicle models, in the most dramatic example yet of the auto industry's retreat from battery-powered models in response to the Trump administration's policies and weakening EV demand. The Dearborn, Michigan-based company said it will replace the fully electric F-150 Lightning with a new extended-range electric model that uses a gas-powered engine to recharge the battery. The company is also scrapping a next-generation electric truck, codenamed the T3, as well as planned electric commercial vans. “When the market really changed over the last couple of months, that was really the impetus for us to make the call,” Ford CEO Jim Farley told Reuters in an interview. Ford said it will pivot hard into gas and hybrid models, and eventually hire thousands of workers, even though there will be some layoffs at a jointly owned Kentucky battery plant in the n...

Kamala Harris Doesn't Understand Why She Lost.

Image
  Harris (or her team or followers) thinks that she has the best political attributes of Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton, but the opposite is true: she exhibits the worst of Obama and Clinton. She lacks Obama's political charisma and Clinton's political savviness, but shares their political arrogance. She has no real base because she has no core cause or core policy. Donors may favor her, but she doesn't have the allies in the Democratic Party that Obama and Clinton have. Her domestic and economic policies were fleeting if not outright non-existent. Oh, and like Obama and Clinton, she's a staunch Zionist in an era where that equates to supporting genocidal act.

TSA Is Using Airports As ICE Checkpoints

  From CNBC : The Transportation Security Administration is giving U.S. immigration officials the names of every airline traveler as part of the Trump administration’s widespread deportation program, The New York Times reported Friday. TSA, several times per week, gives Immigration and Customs Enforcement a list of travelers expected to be passing through airports, the Times reported. “ICE can then match the list against its own database of people subject to deportation and send agents to the airport to detain those people,” the newspaper said. ICE and TSA are both divisions of the Homeland Security Department. A Homeland Security spokesperson, in a statement to CNBC, said of the Times report, “This is nothing new.” “Back in February, Secretary [Kristi] Noem reversed the horrendous Biden-era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country and do so without identification,” the spokesperson said. “Under President Trump, TSA and DHS will no longer tolera...

World Socialist Web Site To Embrace AI

Image
 In what can be seen as an unusual move of following the leader, WSWS has decided to create "Socialism AI," which promises to be, " a revolutionary tool that will harness artificial intelligence for the development of socialist consciousness in the international working class ." David North compares its potential to the Encyclopedia, which " became an instrument for enlightenment that contributed to the French Revolution by making knowledge available to masses of people who had been kept in ignorance ," and that Socialist AI can do the same if " properly developed and democratically controlled ." All in all, the purpose is to " provide an accurate, thoroughly researched reply to critical issues which arise in the day to day struggles of the working class. It will answer questions posed by intellectuals, students, youth on a vast range of questions, and will give answers which reflect and express the interests of the working class ." I ...

One Possible Explanation Why It's Been So Hard To Propagandize The Public On Gaza

Image
  Despite the recent UN vote on Gaza , the people's opinion of Israel is not expected to rise anytime soon and the push to consolidate conservatives has been less-than beneficial .  As a result, Zionists are, as Caitlin Johnstone puts it, are "freaking out:" Why hasn't the propaganda worked? There's a three-word response that explain: "Muslims aren't Nazis." Historically, Jewish people have garnered much-deserved sympathy for what happened during the rise of Nazi Germany. The concentration camps, the torture, the deaths...if any group had a reason to demonize Nazis, it was Jewish people (and it would be foolish to infer that other groups and/or nations didn't suffer from either being occupied or at war with Nazi Germany so let's keep this in mind as well). The thing is, Muslims did not preform a Holocaust on the Jewish People in Europe. Palestinians did not round up Israelis and put them into concentration camps. Neither did Iranians, the Le...

Would *YOUR* Church Help a Mother In Need?

If this social media experiment is to be believed, the odds are, sadly,  "No, they wouldn't." A woman in Kentucky has gone viral online after posting a series of videos where she asks churches if they will help to feed a starving baby. The results have shocked social-media users, and the videos have amassed views by the million. Nikalie Monroe, who describes herself on TikTok as a left-wing Army veteran and a lesbian, has been filming the series as a social experiment—the “starving baby” she refers to is not real. Monroe does not have a child; instead, she uses the scenario to test how churches respond to pleas for help. [SNIP] About 35.9 million in Americans were living below the poverty line in 2024, according to data from Statista. Poverty, and in particular food insecurity, has been prominent in the headlines in recent weeks due to significant disruptions in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history...

Newsweek: USDA Tells Grocery Stores Not to Give Discounts to Customers

  Oh SNAP : The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has told grocery stores not to give special discounts to around 42 million Americans who use food stamps. An email sent by the department to stores, posted on X by Catherine Rampell, co-host of MSNBC's The Weekend, said: “You cannot treat SNAP-EBT customers differently than any other customer.” The directive comes as benefit payments remain on hold during the ongoing federal government shutdown. Newsweek contacted USDA via its website on Monday, outside of regular working hours for comment. [SNIP] USDA emailed grocery stores around the country telling them not to offer special discounts or deals to SNAP recipients amid the freeze, warning that doing so would violate the program’s “Equal Treatment Rule.” That rule requires stores to sell eligible food items to SNAP-EBT customers at the same prices and under the same conditions as other shoppers.  The email said: “Offering discounts or services only to SNAP-eligible customers...

2025 Fan Casting: Who Would Make the Best Storm?

Image
First off, I have little complaints about the job Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp did in their respective turns as the Ororo Munroe of the Fox X-Men movies. And we are expecting Berry to reprise this role for the MCU's continuing foray into the Multiverse .  That said, it's probably time to cast a new Storm. So ahead of the expected "sacred timeline" version of the X-Men making their debut , and in honor of her " upgrade " let's go over one humble man's choices for one of Marvel's most powerful and famous characters.  NOTE: Thanks to the wonders of CGI and motion capture, as well as the time-honored tradition of stunt doubles, things like " are they 6 feet? " is less of a concern now than say, the last time I was fan-casting Wonder Woman. So we can focus more on the acting and overall presence here; in other words: if they were to wear the costume (real, CGI or otherwise) would they make us think, "Yo; that is STORM!" o...
