Tragedy at Sea: Navy SEALs Presumed Dead After Boarding Boat Illegally Carrying Iranian Weapons

In a somber announcement on Sunday afternoon, the U.S. Military revealed that two Navy SEALs who went missing nearly two weeks ago during a mission off the coast of Africa are now presumed dead. The tragic incident occurred during a nighttime interdiction mission on January 11, where the SEALs were climbing onto a vessel when one was knocked off by powerful ocean waves.

Following protocol, the next Navy SEAL in line jumped into the water to assist in the rescue efforts. Despite a 10-day exhaustive search, the missing SEALs have not been located, and their status has been officially changed to deceased, as confirmed by U.S. Central Command. The search and rescue operation transitioned into recovery operations.

Japan and Spain joined the U.S. in the extensive search efforts, covering more than 21,000 square miles. Additional support was provided by the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center, the U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area Command, University of San Diego – Scripts Institute of Oceanography, and the Office of Naval Research – Oceanographic Support.

General Michale Erik Kurilla, CENTCOM Commander, expressed condolences and sorrow over the loss of the two Naval Special Warfare warriors. In a statement, he said, “We mourn the loss of our two Naval Special Warfare warriors, and we will forever honor their sacrifice and example. Our prayers are with the SEALs’ families, friends, the U.S. Navy, and the entire Special Operations community during this time.”

Comedian Weighs in on 2024: It’s Not ‘Right or Left,’ It’s ‘Normal vs. Crazy’ (VIDEO)

Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher issued a “New Rule” during his Friday evening show, “Real Time with Bill Maher,” telling his audience that he had taken an informal poll and determined that Americans would like to make 2024 “the year of sanity.”

Maher reflected on the state of national politics going into 2024’s presidential election cycle, and said that he no longer saw a battle between the political left and the political right – instead, he said that it was down to “normal vs. crazy.”

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

“And finally, New Rule for 2024, America has to go back on its meds,” Maher began, explaining that he had talked to a number of people over the holidays and that the majority said they would like to see 2024 be “the year of sanity.”

“Let’s make this the year of sanity,” he said again. “Everybody thinks we’ve gone bonkers. And a lot of it is because the far ends on both left and right have gotten way too much attention — which begs the question, how do you suck all of the oxygen out of the room and still not get any to your brain?” (Read more from “Comedian Weighs in on 2024: It’s Not ‘Right or Left,’ It’s ‘Normal vs. Crazy’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

Pope Francis Expresses Concern Over Europe’s Demographic Winter, Urges Italians: ‘Having Children Is a Duty to Survive’

Pope Francis once again voiced his concern for Europe’s demographic winter on Saturday, urging Italians to have more children.

“I am worried about the low birth rate,” the pontiff told an Italian association of local politicians. “There is a culture of depopulation that comes from the fact that few children are born.”

“It is true, anyone can have a dog, it is true: but we need children,” he continued. “In Italy, Spain … there is a need for children.”

“Think that one of these Mediterranean countries has an average age of 46 years! I don’t know what it is in Italy, but it is close to that level,” the pope stated.

According to Italy’s National Institute of Statistics, the national birthrate is down to 1.25 children per woman, well below the replacement rate. The mean age of the population is 46.6 years, as the pope stated.

Germany Went All in on the Green Transition. Now, Its Economy Is Crumbling

Germany fully bought into the green energy transition, but its economy is now showing serious signs of weakness as a prolonged energy crisis runs its course.

The country is aiming to have its energy supply and demand reach “net-zero” emissions by 2050, relying on sources like wind, solar and hydrogen fuels after former Prime Minister Angela Merkel decided in 2011 to eventually shutter the country’s nuclear power plant fleet. Despite the German government’s regulatory and spending blitz to usher in the green transition, the country is not on track to meet its climate goals, but its decision to rely on intermittent green energy generation has contributed to an ongoing energy crisis that is crippling its economy.

“Hollowing out the economy is not benefiting the German people, nor is it helping climate change,” Diana Furtchtgott-Roth, Director of the Center for Energy, Climate and Environment at the Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It is not reducing emissions, because manufacturing is being shifted to other nations, like China and India, that use dirtier energy. The German economy is going down, and their people do not have the jobs and economic opportunities that they used to.”

Germany ultimately closed the last of its nuclear power plants in April 2023. Several months later, the German government announced that it would activate coal-fired power plants to ensure adequate supply through this winter.

The signs of Germany’s economic withering are numerous, perhaps most visible in the fact that it shrank in 2023 after growing by less than 2% in 2022, according to Euronews. The country is facing the high borrowing costs and inflationary pressures that are dogging many of the West’s economies, but sticky energy inflation remains the key factor in the country’s economic malaise, both for consumers and corporations, according to Reuters.

Viral Video Depicting Couple’s Life Living in Storage Unit Leads to Their Eviction

A Philadelphia couple was evicted after a TikTok video of them living in a storage unit went viral, the Atlanta Black Star reported Saturday.

The video Leland Desmond Brown Jr., 28, posted on TikTok explaining why he was living in a storage unit rather than an apartment got tens of millions of views, the outlet reported. Brown said he and his girlfriend planned on saving money for an RV and, eventually, a home, according to the newspaper.

After the video went viral, however, the storage unit’s management sent Brown an eviction notice which cited a violation of the terms of the facility’s contract, according to the outlet. The couple was given until the end of January to vacate the premises, the outlet reported.

“So we got kicked out of our storage unit,” Brown said in a new post. “The higher-ups found out about my video and went so viral we ended up getting kicked out. Now we’re just trying to figure out where to go and what we’re going to do with all of our stuff.” (Read more from “Viral Video Depicting Couple’s Life Living in Storage Unit Leads to Their Eviction” HERE)

INSANITY: Trans Golfer Wins Women’s Tournament, One Step Closer to LPGA Qualifier

A male-born transgender golfer is one more step closer to winning membership as a Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) competitor after winning a woman’s tournament in Florida.

Hailey Davidson, 30, won the NXXT Women’s Classic on Jan. 17 at the Mission Inn Resort and Club, near Orlando, Florida, with a one-over-73 score and finishing the three-round event at a +4, the New York Post reported.

Davidson, a Scottish-born man whose real name is James Scott Davidson, supposedly began hormone treatments in Sept. of 2015, the last year he he competed as a man, to begin the transition to a transgender woman, Golf Week reported.

After undergoing full gender reassignment surgery, Davidson set his sights on becoming a female pro golfer and won his first women’s tournament in May of 2021, five years after beginning the transition. By June of that year, Davidson received confirmation from the LPGA that he was eligible to join the league’s qualifying school and work towards earning his women’s golf membership card.

He claims that after his transition, all the power he had in his swing as a male is now gone as a female. So he claims he no long has a strength advantage. (Read more from “INSANITY: Trans Golfer Wins Women’s Tournament, One Step Closer to LPGA Qualifier” HERE)

World Economic Forum Chief Predicts AI Takeover: Klaus Schwab Envisions End of Elections (VIDEO)

Klaus Schwab, the founder and chief of the World Economic Forum (WEF), known for his advocacy of globalist ideologies, has sparked controversy by suggesting that artificial intelligence (AI) could render elections obsolete. Investigative reporter Leo Hohmann revealed Schwab’s comments, highlighting the WEF chief’s claim that AI is capable of choosing a nation’s leaders, making the need for elections redundant.

During a discussion at Davos, Switzerland, Schwab proposed that AI should transition into a “prescriptive mode,” eliminating the necessity for elections. According to him, the predictive capabilities of AI would reach a point where outcomes could be anticipated, leading to the question of why elections should still be conducted.

Ezra Levant of Rebel News shared Schwab’s comments on Twitter, describing them as “bone-chilling.” The revelation occurred during a conversation between Schwab and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, where they discussed the role of digital technology, particularly AI, in shaping the future.

Schwab’s suggestion has raised concerns about the potential implications for democracy and free will. The idea that AI could predict and influence people’s choices to the extent of making all decisions for them challenges the fundamental principles of democratic governance. The report noted that this perspective aligns with the views of Yuval Harari, a top adviser to Schwab, who previously asserted that in an age of AI, humans may lose their free will.

Critics argue that technocratic globalists like Schwab often express their visions with a level of excitement that may not resonate with the broader public. The proposal to replace elections with AI decision-making prompts ethical and societal questions about the impact on human agency and democratic values.

Biden’s U.S. Border Crisis Is Now Deadly Enough to Kill Every American

By New York Post. Joe Biden’s border crisis is deadly enough to kill every American, literally — as proven by the 386 million doses of fentanyl seized by the DEA in 2023.

Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between 18 and 45.

The 12 months ending in April 2023 saw more than 111,355 overdose deaths among Americans — even higher than the already record-breaking 110,394 the year before.

At an average of 22 deaths per week, the death rate for teen drug ODs in 2022 more than doubled the rate in 2018, another grim figure driven by the synthetic opioid.

Fentanyl victim Ashley Dunn died of an overdose in 2021; her mother gave heartbreaking testimony before Congress Thursday at an impeachment inquiry hearing for Biden’s border enabler No. 1, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Man Stabbed in Neck During Randall’s Island Migrant Shelter Melee; 18 in Custody but Suspect on the Loose

By New York Post. A wild melee at the troubled Randall’s Island migrant shelter Thursday left an [illegal alien] stabbed in the neck and 18 people in custody — with cops still hunting for the knife-wielding suspect, law-enforcement sources say.

A brawl broke out at the troubled shelter around 3:30 p.m. between two groups, who started fighting inside the shelter but then took it outside — armed with knives and throwing rocks at each other, sources said.

A 24-year-old man was stabbed during violent chaos, sources said.

He was taken by EMTs to Harlem Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

A 911 caller initially indicated to cops that a security guard stabbed the victim, but police sources later said it appeared that was not the case and that the assailant was still at large.

NATO Warns of All-Out War With Russia in Next 20 Years

Civilians must prepare for all-out war with Russia in the next 20 years, a top Nato military official has warned.

While armed forces are primed for the outbreak of war, private citizens need to be ready for a conflict that would require wholesale change in their lives, Adml Rob Bauer said on Thursday.

Large numbers of civilians will need to be mobilised in case of the outbreak of war and governments should put in place systems to manage the process, Adml Bauer told reporters after a meeting of Nato defence chiefs in Brussels.

“We have to realize it’s not a given that we are in peace. And that’s why we [Nato forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia. . .

Adml Bauer, a Dutch naval officer who is chairman of Nato’s Military Committee, praised Sweden for asking all of its citizens to brace for war ahead of the country formally joining the alliance. (Read more from “NATO Warns of All-Out War With Russia in Next 20 Years” HERE)

Former MSNBC Host Reveals Network Forced Trump Coverage Despite Pushback

In a recent podcast interview, former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross disclosed the challenges she faced while hosting “The Cross Connection,” shedding light on the network’s insistence on Trump-focused coverage, which eventually led to the cancellation of her show in late 2022.

Cross candidly shared her desire to produce content addressing a diverse range of topics, emphasizing issues such as inhumane treatment in prisons, mental health among black men, the erasure of Afro-Latinos, land battles of indigenous communities, and more. However, she revealed the network’s strong push for a Trump-centric narrative, describing it as a continuous battle that persisted throughout her show’s run.

“I want you all to know, every single week from the start of my show to the very last show I did, it was a battle,” Cross expressed. “The network’s philosophy was Trump, Trump, Trump. They wanted me to be part of the echo chamber.”

Cross detailed the condescending manner in which she was treated when advocating for alternative topics, including having her intelligence questioned and being lectured on the definition of news.

The former host suggested that her departure from MSNBC involved factors beyond content disagreements, pointing to criticism from “white conservatives” and characterizing her dismissal as signaling to the industry that she was “unhireable.”

“The network began attacking me,” Cross revealed. “They planted hit pieces in the press. The president of the network began a bizarre, unhinged tour where she was on damage control, I don’t know what she was trying to do.”
