Dear Senator Sanders, Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment. The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything. Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register. Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it. And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth. When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?" Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed. Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont. You named. Two. Post offices. You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem. Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle. You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning. I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise. The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else? IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me. And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

Usted vive en un planeta donde los árboles se avisan del peligro a través de raíces que se tocan bajo la tierra. Donde los pulpos sueñan en colores. Donde los elefantes vuelven a los huesos de sus muertos y se quedan allí en silencio, como recordando. Donde las abejas bailan para decirse adónde volar. Donde las flores florecen después del fuego, como si el renacer fuera su manera de hablar. Donde los cuervos recuerdan los rostros crueles y enseñan a sus hijos a reconocerlos. Donde las hormigas hacen ciudades con túneles y puentes invisibles al ojo apurado. Donde los gatos ronronean con una frecuencia que puede ayudar a sanar huesos. Donde las ballenas cantan canciones que cruzan los océanos y cambian un poco en cada encuentro. Donde las ardillas adoptan crías huérfanas y las cuidan como propias. Donde los delfines se llaman entre sí por su nombre, y los caballos reconocen el sonido de una voz amiga. Donde las mariposas recuerdan rutas de migración que sus antepasados siguieron muchos veranos atrás. Donde los hongos crean redes infinitas bajo la tierra, ayudando a los bosques a respirar unidos. Donde los lobos cuidan a sus mayores y cantan juntos a la luna. Donde las luciérnagas vuelven a encender la noche para que los grillos tengan algo que cantar. Donde los peces se agrupan para protegerse, moviéndose como si fueran un solo cuerpo. Donde las tortugas regresan año tras año al mismo lugar donde nacieron. Donde los árboles viejos guardan en sus anillos la historia del clima, del tiempo y del hombre. Donde la vida, incluso en silencio, se acuerda del beso de la luz. Usted vive ahí. En un mundo que siente, que cuida, que recuerda. Feliz día :)

You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me. Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious? You are the fraud.

I am officially endorsing @GavinNewsom for president in 2028. A proven winner. Nobody does homelessness, crime, fraud, and $8 gas better. And any man willing to sleep with his best friend’s wife clearly has the character to lead America. Let’s take California national. 🇺🇸

🚨🐝 BEE APOCALYPSE: NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT ORDERS MASS BURNING OF PERFECTLY HEALTHY HIVES IN SHOCKING ATTACK ON FOOD SUPPLY! 🚨 Beekeepers in New Zealand are being brutally forced by authorities to burn their healthy, strong bee hives alive. “We’ve been told to burn healthy strong bee hives.” “Look at how healthy these bees are, no disease or anything.” Bees are quite possibly the most important insect to exist. It is not a coincidence they are now dying out rapidly with governments also persecuting beekeepers. All part of the same evil agenda. This is no random policy. While bees pollinate one third of the world's food, entire thriving colonies are being torched under the excuse of "biosecurity." No mercy, no real compensation, just flames destroying years of work and millions in value. They claim it's to stop disease, yet keepers show frame after frame of vigorous, disease free bees being sentenced to death. Why now? Why target the very creatures that keep our food chain alive? Because a world with abundant natural food cannot be fully controlled. Starve the bees, starve the people. Force everyone onto corporate GMO crops, lab made slop, and whatever scraps the elite decide to hand out. This is deliberate. This is war on nature and war on humanity. Collapsing bee populations worldwide plus government crackdowns on beekeepers equals one thing: engineered famine and total dependency. The agenda is unfolding in plain sight. Support local beekeepers now. Question every order that destroys what sustains life. Share this far and wide before they silence it. The bees are dying and so is our freedom. WAKE UP! 🐝🔥

I used to view Donald Trump simply as a solid, effective president... someone who delivered results on the economy, borders, and foreign policy without all the usual political polish. But over time, I've come to see something much bigger: the entire American political system has been rotten and corrupt for decades. It's not just isolated scandals or bad actors; it's a deeply entrenched network of career politicians, unelected bureaucrats, lobbyists, intelligence agencies, and media gatekeepers who operate as a self-protecting "uniparty" or "swamp." They prioritize their own power, insider deals, endless wars, and special interests over the actual needs of everyday Americans. Elections often feel like theater, with the same outcomes no matter who wins—more debt, more control, more erosion of freedoms. What sets Trump apart is that he's the only major figure in modern politics who's truly taken on that machine head-on and actually shaken it. Previous leaders talked tough about reform but ultimately played along with the system, got rich from it, or were too tied into it to challenge it meaningfully. Donald Trump, as a DC outsider who didn't need their approval or their money, has exposed the corruption, fought back against weaponized institutions, and forced the hidden power structures into the open... even when it meant relentless attacks, impeachments, indictments, and lawfare aimed directly at him and his children. He's far from perfect, and the battle is far from over, but for the first time in my lifetime, someone has genuinely threatened the status quo and refused to back down. That's why the pushback against him has been so ferocious: he represents the real possibility of dismantling the corrupt system rather than just managing it. To me, supporting him now isn't just about one good presidency... it's about finally having a fighter who's willing to take on the whole rigged game for the sake of the country, and God help us if he fails.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000 acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130 rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

How Gov. Newsom Funneled Millions to Himself | Daniel Greenfield Gov. Gavin Newsom had helped set up a state government agency for his wife and then a quasi-government non-profit to which he has directed millions of dollars which in turn helped promote yet another non-profit that puts millions of dollars in the pockets of the Newsoms. That convoluted arrangement may explain why Newsom won’t turn over his tax returns. Gov. Newsom promised to be the first California governor to release his tax returns every year, but media outlets have been grumbling that the last time he released a tax return was quite a few years ago when he was legally required to because he was running for reelection. The questions got louder when he bought a $9 million house in addition to their $6 million house. The new 5,609 square foot estate comes with a spa, sculptures and Brazilian decks, and was bought from a member of the billionaire Pritzker clan, who have been one of Newsom’s major donors, and carries a $6.5 million mortgage with $600,000 in annual payments plus over $100,000 in property taxes. Some have been asking where all that money was coming from. This may only be the tip of the iceberg considering that in 2019, the Newsoms had paid their household staff $288,000 alone. Assuming that the staffing costs have kept pace, California’s first family should be looking at very some very huge bills to maintain their outrageous lifestyle. As of last fall, Newsom still hasn’t released a tax return. We do know that Newsom’s income shot up by $500,000 to $1.7 million in his first year in office. Back then, his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, was earning $151,000, through her ‘non-profit’, The Representation Project, which set out to teach children, especially boys , about the evils of gender roles and masculinity. Since then Newsom’s gubernatorial salary grew from $210,000 to $242,295: a sizable raise, but even with his winery, restaurant and investments in a blind trust, it may not explain his spending. Jennifer Siebel Newsom, whose boutique causes include gender pay parity, however has been earning a higher salary than her husband as her non-profit took in $1.5 million in 2024 and 20% of that money went to her with $150,000 going directly to her as salary and another $150,000 going to her Girls Club Entertainment LLC for compensation as “Writer/Producer/Director”. Girls Club Entertainment is listed as an “independent contractor” even though it also admits on the same tax filing that “Girls Club Entertainment LLC (GCE), a single member LLC, is owned by Jennifer Siebel Newsom” and also claims that she serves as the writer, producer and director of the various ‘documentaries’ that she licenses to her non-profit which then reimburses her. Since the non-profit, originally titled ‘Miss Representation’ after the name of one of her ‘documentaries’, was set up to promote them, the arrangement appears to exist to allow her to benefit from non-profit funding while diverting a significant amount of the funds to herself. An arrangement under which Newsom’s wife is simultaneously the CEO, board member and an ‘independent contractor’, who manages to cash out a significant percentage of its revenues, is legally dubious and risks falling under the IRS prohibitions against self-enrichment. In 2023, Newsom’s non-profit took in $1 million and again paid out $300,000 or around a third to her. In 2020, it took in a little over $800,000 and she received the same amount or 37%. The Daily Mail estimated that her total came in at over $3.7 million in the decade. Where was all that money coming from to what would normally be just another obscure organization? The answer in part is the government and government lobbyists and contractors. The ‘films’ made by Newsom’s wife have been shown in thousands of schools and received millions in revenues. More money has come through donations from major companies that do business with the state or are lobbying the state for some favorable treatment. At the Project’s most recent ‘Flip the Script’ benefit, “celebrating the 10th anniversary of Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s groundbreaking film, Miss Representation”, the co-chair was Gavin Newsom’s sister, who runs their joint company, the other co-chairs were Lori Puccinelli Stern, the wife of the San Francisco Airport Commissioner, who heads a PR firm, and Joanna Rees, a venture capitalist who was appointed to a board by Newsom. Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s outsized media presence is partly funded by California taxpayers. After taking office, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that he was creating an ‘Office of the First Partner’ for his wife led by two senior staffers with combined salaries of over a quarter of a million dollars. The most recent organizational chart for the office shows 7 staffers including two communications staffers just for Newsom’s wife: all with six figure salaries. Jennifer Siebel Newsom co-created yet another non-profit for the Office of the First Partner, the California Partners Project: a 501(c)(4). The partisan non-profit, which regularly attacks Republicans, is directly linked to and promoted by the California governor’s site. Its board includes Becky Beland McNaught who was originally hired as the chief of staff at the Office of the First Partner. McNaught made opening remarks at a screening of one of her ‘films’ that was sponsored by the California Partners Project and the Representation Project. The California Partners Project claims a semi-official status, stating that it operates “in partnership with the people of California.” What it does is promote Newsom’s wife and her non-profit which provides millions in income to Gov. Newsom and his wife. In 2022, the LA Daily News reported that The California Partners Project had collected $1.6 million in ‘behested payments’ through Gov. Newsom. These are payments that were requested by Newsom on behalf of his wife’s organization. By 2023, the amount had risen to $2.4 million. Newsom requested that one donor, an Indian tribe seeking to block a rival’s casino, donate $500,000 , before intervening on its behalf. By 2025, the amount was up to $2 million . Is Gov. Newsom pressuring and rewarding companies for donating to his wife’s non-profit and does that non-profit then help promote his wife’s other extremely profitable ‘non-profit’? Other state agencies have also worked to promote Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s lucrative non-profit including the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, in theory a non-partisan state agency, which pushed her ‘documentary’ Miss Representation. Holly Martinez, the executive director of the Commission, switched to serving as the executive director of Mrs. Newsom’s Representation Project and then as her Chief of Staff in the Office of the First Partner, illustrating how government agencies, the paid non-profit and the First Lady’s office have become an interchangeable game of musical chairs all to promote one woman. And her organization that has put millions of dollars into the pockets of the Newsoms. Jennifer Siebel Newsom has proven to be quite adroit at moving money and influence from non-profits and foundations that she controls to herself. For example, the Siebel Family Charitable Foundation, a family foundation where she acts as a director, provided $23,000, one of its largest grants , as of its last tax filing, to The Representation Project. Newsom was an honorary board member of the International Museum of Women, that was set to be launched in San Francisco and that was supposed to be publicly funded, but instead burned through millions of dollars, but did partner with The Representation Project. Gavin Newsom and his wife had served as honorary co-chairs for the museum’s fundraiser. She was a board member of KQED, the local PBS affiliate, which provided gushing coverage of not only her husband’s administration, but also promoted her ‘documentaries’. Like so much else, this arrangement appears to have been useful for both halves of the power couple. The networks of non-profits, some state, some funded by those who have business with the state, has clearly played a role in allowing the Newsoms to afford their lavish lifestyle. Many of these questions could be cleared up if the Newsoms would release their tax returns. In 2019, Gov. Newsom championed a law forcing presidential candidates to release their returns. The purpose of the law was to target Trump. Fortunately for Newsom, the law was found to be unconstitutional, and so he won’t have to release his tax returns or address the many conflicts of interest and the ways that he has grown even richer while governor. danielgreenfield.org/2026/03…

“What is necessary will be incredibly painful.” @RupertLowe10 This is the single best political ad I've ever seen in my life

Why do we bother to pay taxes. In reality we have no national debt. We were looted. Money squandered. By every department. By every NGO. By every Director. By every CEO. By every Beltway Bandit. By every Bishop. By every politician. Our cash flown in bags headed to Somalia and Tehran. While they flew to Davos, we did our daily commute in hopes of providing our kids with a bright future. While they flew on Epstein’s plane we put whatever was left over into a college fund. In the back of your mind you always knew there was grift. That’s part of the deal - you thought. But what we are seeing is other worldly. It’s not in the back of your mind. Or in the front. It’s swirling around you and making you pause. Do I turn left? Do I turn right? Where do I go to find something that is real? And worth all the late-night meetings, business trips, missed soccer games and birthdays. Ray Donovan, a former Labor Secretary, who was falsely indicted and later acquitted famously asked, “Where do I go to get my reputation back?” The question now is, “Where do I go to get the truth and accountability?” @DrJBhattacharya
