Mutilated Birds Found Drained of Blood in NY as Conspiracies of Dark Rituals and Cult-Like Killings Loom

The chilling discovery of two roosters and a white dove — all decapitated and drained of blood — has authorities in upstate New York investigating a possible link to dark ritualistic sacrifices.

The gruesome find near Lake Carmel in Putnam County on Friday is just the latest in a series of recent troubling discoveries in the upstate community — with locals wondering if there’s a cult in their midst.

“The area where this bag was found was only a short distance from where other bags of mutilated animals have been found in recent months, possibly the result of ritualistic killings,” the Putnam County SPCA said in a Facebook post this week.

The bodies of the two roosters were found stuffed in a plastic bag, not far from where the white dove was found along a wooded area on Holland Drive near the lake in the town of Kent, officials said.

So far this year, 10 similar discoveries have been made in the area, including an incident in April when two butchered birds were stuffed in a garbage bag and dumped nearby, News12 reported.

The station said that the birds, which were found shortly after 4:30 p.m. Friday, had been drained of blood. (Read more from “Mutilated Birds Found Drained of Blood in NY as Conspiracies of Dark Rituals and Cult-Like Killings Loom” HERE)

Man Arrested in Connection with Start of Deadly Pacific Palisades Fire

A man was arrested Tuesday as a suspect in setting the deadly Pacific Palisades fire in Los Angeles that claimed 12 lives and destroyed more than 6,000 homes in January.

Justice department officials announced at a news conference that Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, a.k.a. “Jonathan Rinder,” and “Jon Rinder,” of Melbourne, Florida, 29, had been detained.

He is charged with destruction of property by means of fire.

The BBC reports authorities said evidence collected from the suspect’s digital devices showed an image he generated on ChatGPT depicting a burning city.

The fire was sparked on 7 January near a popular hiking trail overlooking the wealthy coastal neighborhood. (Read more from “Man Arrested in Connection with Start of Deadly Pacific Palisades Fire” HERE)

Trump Considering Pardons for Maxwell, Diddy; Supporters Outraged

By The Independent. President Donald Trump on Monday said he’d consider a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker who conspired with the president’s late friend, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, to traffic and abuse minor girls in multiple states.

He also said he’d been asked for a pardon by Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul who was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison following a federal prostitution conviction last week.

Speaking in the Oval Office during an event on approving a new mining road in Alaska, Trump was asked whether he’d consider clemency for Maxwell, a British socialite who was indicted on sex trafficking charges after Epstein, who once described himself as Trump’s best friend, hanged himself in a New York detention cell while awaiting trial on similar charges in 2019.

“You know, I haven’t heard the name in so long. I can say this, that I’d have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look,” Trump said.

He then said he would have to “speak to the DOJ” and stressed that he did not know “anything” about the matter despite the case dominating headlines for months over a bipartisan effort to force release of case files from the Justice Department’s attempt to prosecute Epstein.

Laura Loomer warns against lobbying Trump to pardon Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell: ‘Do not do it. I repeat. Do not do it’

By The Independent. Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist who has growing influence with President Donald Trump, warned against those “lobbying” the administration for a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon, insinuating there could be consequences.

Shortly after the president told reporters Monday that he would “speak” to the Department of Justice about considering clemency for the convicted sex offender, Loomer posted a warning on X to those who may be advocating for Maxwell.

“I strongly advise AGAINST anyone lobbying the Trump admin and the DOJ to Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell,” Loomer wrote. “Do not do it. I repeat. Do not do it. There will be no coming back from that.”

Loomer added: “I repeat again. For the love of God. Do Not Do It.”

The political operative, 32, did not specify what exactly could happen to those who advocate for Maxwell but she has previously wielded her influence with the president to get people fired for what she perceives as disloyalty.

MTG Turns Against Republicans in Shocking Flip on Government Shutdown

Democrats have gained an unlikely ally in their fight to extend expiring Affordable Care Act funding: MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare ‘Affordable Care Act’ bullshit started. I got here in 2021. As a matter of fact, the ACA made health insurance UNAFFORDABLE for my family after it was passed, with skyrocketing premiums higher than our house payment. Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan,” Greene wrote on Monday night. “But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.

“And I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year. Also, I think health insurance and all insurance is a scam, just be clear!” Greene continued. “Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us about this or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums DOUBLING!!!”

It isn’t just Greene’s adult children who will be slammed by raising premium costs if tax credits aren’t extended. Millions of Americans will have to fork over thousands of additional dollars to make sure they can get basic, often lifesaving care in this country if the Obamacare subsidies expire. Greene joins Representative Thomas Massie as the highest-profile GOPers to criticize the shutdown, as Massie called the shutdown a distraction to avoid voting on the Jeffrey Epstein files.

“Our country sent $30 billion to Israel in 2024 alone killing countless innocent children and sent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to Ukraine in the past few years,” Greene added in her statement Monday. “By the way, I voted NO to all of that murder! America has funded the Ukrainian government, Ukrainian pensions, and Ukrainian businesses during this entire stupid war that America should have nothing to do with.

AI Threatens to Wipe Out 100 Million U.S. Jobs in the Next Decade, Report Warns

Artificial intelligence and automation technologies could eliminate up to 100 million jobs in the United States over the next ten years, according to a new report released Monday by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who serves as the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions.

The report — based in part on data from OpenAI’s ChatGPT — outlines the sweeping economic disruption that artificial labor could bring, affecting both white- and blue-collar professions across nearly every industry.

“The agricultural revolution unfolded over thousands of years. The industrial revolution took more than a century,” the report states. “Artificial labor could reshape the economy in less than a decade.”

Jobs Across Sectors at Risk

According to Sanders’ report, the rise of AI, robotics, and automation could threaten:

40% of registered nursing jobs
47% of truck driving positions
64% of accounting jobs
65% of teaching assistant roles
89% of fast-food service jobs

The report warns that these changes could devastate the livelihoods of millions of Americans who rely on traditional employment sectors that are increasingly being replaced by machines or software.

Major corporations such as Amazon and Walmart have already laid off tens of thousands of workers while investing heavily in automation. These companies — among the largest by revenue in the U.S. — are seen as early indicators of a trend that could soon spread across the economy.

Sanders criticized what he views as a profit-driven motive behind these advancements. In an op-ed published by Fox News, he accused corporate America of using AI to slash labor costs and further concentrate wealth at the top.

“Artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by these multi-billionaires today will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits,” Sanders wrote.

He pointed to tech leaders like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, and Mark Zuckerberg — all of whom are investing heavily in AI — as driving forces behind this transformation. Sanders questioned whether their motives include improving the lives of ordinary Americans.

“Is it because they want to improve the standard of living of the 60% of our people who live paycheck-to-paycheck…?” Sanders wrote. “Maybe. But I doubt it.”

The threat of mass job displacement has intensified the debate over AI policy in Washington.

Senate Democrats, including Sanders, are pushing for tighter regulation, worker protections, and structural reforms — including a 32-hour workweek, stronger union rights, and a “robot tax” on companies that replace workers with machines.

In contrast, the Trump-aligned wing of the GOP argues that America should focus on dominating AI development, warning that China could gain a strategic edge if the U.S. slows down due to regulation. Former President Trump has repeatedly emphasized the importance of keeping AI leadership out of Beijing’s hands, framing it as a national security issue.

Democrats Seek Funding for Male Prostitute Cooking Classes, African Pride Parade, Nepali Transgenders, and More

Thanks to DOGE, Americans spent the beginning of this year learning the obscene ways the government wastes their tax dollars. Many of the examples were jaw-dropping. More emerged last week.

John Kennedy highlighted a series of Democrats’ proposed foreign aid initiatives during a speech on the Senate floor on Friday, including using millions of dollars for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia, transgender programs in Nepal, LGBTQ activities in the Western Balkans and Uganda, cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti, electric buses in Rwanda, and a pride parade in Lesotho. We promise each of those is real.

Republicans cut funding for the above programs after Donald Trump reclaimed the presidency. Democrats’ current proposal to end the government shutdown would bring it back. We think we speak for this newsletter’s readers when we say the GOP should not let that happen. If coastal liberals want to cut checks for Zambian foreskin removal, then good for them. They shouldn’t force the rest of the country to do the same. (Read more from “Democrats Seek Funding for Male Prostitute Cooking Classes, African Pride Parade, Nepali Transgenders, and More” HERE)

$1 Trump Coin Draft Is ‘Real,’ US Treasurer Says

A portrait of President Donald Trump may be featured on a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint in honor of America’s 250th birthday in 2026, according to first drafts of the images confirmed by the US Treasury.

“No fake news here,” US Treasurer Brandon Beach post on X in response to images of the coin on X. “These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real. Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”

The draft images show Trump’s side profile on the front with “Liberty” at the top, “In God we Trust” on the bottom and the dates 1776 and 2026. On the reverse is the famous image of Trump raising his fist after the Bulter, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt, with the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” at the top and an American flag billowing behind his head.

It’s not clear the controversial coin design will be minted: It’s against US law to display the image of a sitting president or living former president. A president may be featured on a coin no sooner than two years following the president’s death. (Read more from “$1 Trump Coin Draft Is ‘Real,’ US Treasurer Says” HERE)

Google Admits to Years of Secret Censorship of Conservatives — Including Suppression of Restoring Liberty

After years of denials from both Big Tech and left-leaning political voices, Google has now officially admitted to censoring conservative content — including media like Restoring Liberty — under pressure from the Biden administration.

In a recent filing to the House Judiciary Committee, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, confessed that it engaged in a pattern of removing, suppressing, or “de-ranking” right-of-center viewpoints. Much of this activity happened at the behest of federal officials, even when the content didn’t technically violate company policies.

“Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies,” wrote Alphabet’s attorney, Daniel F. Donovan.

This means that conservative creators and outlets — including Restoring Liberty — were effectively silenced for posting content that was legally and factually allowed under Google’s own rules. The company acted as a political filter for the White House, despite publicly claiming neutrality.

YouTube’s Role in Shaping the Narrative

Alphabet-owned YouTube played a particularly aggressive role, banning users who questioned official COVID-19 narratives, including the now widely discussed theory that the virus originated in a Wuhan lab. Users who raised concerns about election integrity in 2020 also faced deletion or demonetization.

While YouTube later stated that it “values conservative voices,” actions speak louder than words. Accounts remain shadowbanned or suppressed despite promises to restore them.

Google’s leftward tilt isn’t a secret. The company and its executives have poured millions into Democratic campaigns. WikiLeaks exposed internal communications from former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who offered direct assistance to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. He even outlined a plan to help her win — not from a neutral tech position, but as an enthusiastic political ally.

More recently, Google’s own artificial intelligence tools, such as the Gemini AI model, came under fire for historically inaccurate and racially charged content.

Trump Considering $2,000 Tariff ‘Dividend’ for Americans

President Trump said Thursday he’s still weighing the idea of giving Americans up to $2,000 in rebates derived from the revenues his tariff agenda has generated.

Trump’s proposal to share some of the hundreds of billions of dollars the federal government has collected since he slapped foreign nations with steep levies in April comes as the Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments in a case next month that will decide whether the president has the power to impose such sweeping global tariffs.

“They’re just starting to kick in,” Trump said of the tariffs in an interview with One America News Network, “but ultimately, your tariffs are going to be over a trillion dollars a year.” . . .

The president argued that the $37 trillion national debt is actually “very little, relatively speaking” because the government is taking in unprecedented sums of money from tariffs.

“With that being said, we’ll pay back debt, but we also might make a distribution to the people,” Trump continued. (Read more from “Trump Considering $2,000 Tariff ‘Dividend’ for Americans” HERE)

Inside Trump’s Blunt Exchange With Netanyahu After Major Development in Gaza Peace Deal: ‘So F–king Negative’

President Trump blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and told him not to be “so f–king negative” for being a downer on Hamas accepting key parts of his Gaza peace deal, The Post has learned.

The blunt exchange unfolded when Trump called Netanyahu last Friday soon after the militant group finally responded to his plan, a source close to the White House told The Post.

Despite Trump seeing the development as a major win amid his push to halt the war in Gaza, Netanyahu is said to have tried to pour cold water on it.

“I don’t know why you’re always so f–king negative. This is a win. Take it,” Trump apparently shot back.

Trump additionally complained that “Bibi is always trying to knife his deals,” according to the source.

Details of the call, which was first reported on by Axios, emerged as Israel and Hamas were set to begin indirect talks in Egypt on Monday after both sides signaled support for Trump’s peace plan.
