Samurai Sword-Wielding Man Removes Squatters For Desperate Homeowners

/0 Comments/in , /by

Samurai sword-wielding CEO James Jacobs is offering his armed services to remove squatters for tenants dealing with occupants who refuse to leave in the Northern California area.

Squatting is an ongoing issue in California, with lawmakers such as Republican state Assemblyman Carl DeMaio attempting to introduce legislation that would allow property owners to immediately remove squatters. The proposal was ultimately rejected by the Democratic majority.

Jacobs, the CEO of ASAP Squatter Removal, has been in the business for several years, with his website claiming a “95%+ success rate,” according to KRON4.

“At ASAP Squatter Removal, we remove unwanted occupants quickly and legally while ensuring you are never liable for our actions. As independent contractors, we make all decisions ourselves—you don’t give us orders, and we don’t act on your behalf,” the site states.

Jacobs, according to the ASAP Squatter Removal website, brings “real-world combat training and experience to the table,” citing more than 20 years of mixed martial arts experience, advanced melee weapons training and four years of NRA and USCCA certification.

Harvard Professor Blasts ‘Exclusion Of White Males’ In Scathing Public Resignation

/0 Comments/in , /by

A history professor who has taught at Harvard for 40 years is publicly calling out the Ivy League school over race-based hiring and admissions policies, a “shocking indifference” to antisemitism, and for its eroding commitment to teaching students about Western history.

James Hankins wrote in a Compact Magazine essay titled “Why I’m Leaving Harvard” that his decision was largely influenced by the school’s abandonment of merit in favor of diversity quotas, which he said entirely changed “the way we conducted our affairs,” leaving extraordinary candidates behind if they did not have Harvard’s desired skin color or gender.

In 2020, Hankins said, “the university had collectively taken a knee during the Summer of Floyd.”

“This turned out not to be empty virtue-signaling, as I expected, but had serious consequences for the way we conducted our affairs,” he wrote. “In reviewing graduate student applicants in the fall of 2020 I came across an outstanding prospect who was a perfect fit for our program. In past years this candidate would have risen immediately to the top of the applicant pool. In 2021, however, I was told informally by a member of the admissions committee that ‘that’ (meaning admitting a white male) was ‘not happening this year.’”

Hankins said such treatment was not confined to Harvard. After making inquiries with colleagues, he determined that the same “unspoken protocol” was being followed all across the nation. (Read more from “Harvard Professor Blasts ‘Exclusion Of White Males’ In Scathing Public Resignation” HERE)

Here Are The 10 Biggest Media Hoaxes Of 2025

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It turns out that when you spend every day parroting the most asinine conspiracies and narratives imaginable, people lose faith in your ability to play it straight pretty quickly. That’s the situation that America’s propaganda media found themselves in this year, as their credibility amongst the public hit the lowest level in recorded history. . .

So, as a public service, The Federalist has compiled a list of the top 10 biggest hoaxes run by our reality-deprived media throughout the past year. In no particular order, here they are.

Elon the ‘Fascist’

It didn’t take long after President Trump was sworn back into office for the media to pick up right where they left off after his first term.

While celebrating alongside Trump supporters at a post-inauguration event, X owner Elon Musk delivered remarks to attendees, in which he thanked them for making Trump’s victory possible. With his hand over his heart, the tech mogul then pointed to the crowd and said, “My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.”

Media hacktivists quickly leapt into action to falsely characterize the hand gesture as a “fascist” or “Nazi” salute. This included outlets like PBS News, which wrote on X, “Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.” (Read more from “Here Are The 10 Biggest Media Hoaxes Of 2025” HERE)

New York Legalizes Doctors Prescribing Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced in an op-ed last week that she will sign a bill legalizing medical assisted suicide for adults with a terminal illness.

Hochul says she is passing the Medical Aid in Dying Act due to the “genuine and deeply held belief that government must respect the rights and will of the people it serves.” To qualify, an adult must be “mentally competent” and have a “prognosis of six months or less to live,” the bill states.

The bill also makes it clear that anyone who makes the request for medical assisted suicide must not be considered “suicidal” and taking medication to intentionally end one’s life should not be considered a “suicide.”

This move lets New York join the club of 12 states and the District of Columbia that preach suicide as a form of “medical aid in dying.”

Although the act will allow “individual doctors and religiously affiliated health facilities” to decline offering suicide as a form of treatment to those who are suicidal, doctors must “promptly” transfer requesting clients to a health care provider who is “willing to permit the prescribing, dispensing, ordering or self-administering” of suicide medication.

What Has Joe Biden Been Up To?

/0 Comments/in , /by

After leaving public office, former President Joe Biden didn’t go quietly like some expected, instead filling his year with public appearances and headline-making moments.

It’s been nearly a year since Biden left the White House, but that doesn’t mean it’s been a quiet year for the longtime senator and one-term president. What started with pardoning many members of his family ended with a viral Christmas eve post and included speeches, book writing and train rides in between.

Biden started the year off hot, granting preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, members of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol and members of his family in the final days of his presidency. The former president remained rather quiet after departing D.C. on Jan. 20, making just a few statements on X until March.

In March, Biden emerged from political hibernation. First, NBC News reported that Biden and his former First Lady Jill Biden wanted back into politics even after being forced out by their own party. Sources told the outlet that the former president met with newly elected Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin in February to offer his assistance.

Sources at the time said Biden and his wife were both working on a book, and the former president was traveling back and forth between Delaware and D.C. to meet with advisors while he wrote.

Trump Expands Child Care Funding Freeze Beyond Minnesota

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is widening a federal freeze on child care funding beyond Minnesota as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ramps up a nationwide review aimed at rooting out fraud.

Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O’Neill announced Tuesday that the agency froze all federal child care payments to Minnesota as officials investigate allegations of widespread fraud in the state’s subsidy system. The funding freeze will extend to other states as federal officials review how taxpayer dollars are used, according to multiple reports.

“HHS has a clear duty to verify the proper use of taxpayer funds,” spokesman Andrew Nixon said in a statement, as reported by the New York Post. “The documentation process exists to rule out fraud and confirm that funds are supporting legitimate child care providers.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed back after the Trump administration moved to freeze federal child care funding in the state, accusing the White House of using fraud concerns to justify the action.

“This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue – but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans,” Walz wrote.

President Donald Trump said that investigators expect to uncover large-scale abuse elsewhere, including in California. (Read more from “Trump Expands Child Care Funding Freeze Beyond Minnesota” HERE)

Musk Signals GOP Support in 2026 – Months After Trump Feud, Pledge to Start New Political Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire Elon Musk signaled Thursday that he’ll fund Republican candidates ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, arguing the country is doomed if Democrats take control of Congress.

“America is toast if the radical left wins,” Musk wrote on X. “They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud.

“Won’t be America anymore.”

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s post was made in response to a conservative influencer claiming Musk is “going all-in funding Republicans to help President Trump take back full control in the November midterms.”

The world’s richest man has reportedly already made significant contributions to Republicans in 2026 congressional races, according to Axios.

The size of Musk’s recent donations won’t be known publicly until campaign finance reports are released later this month. (Read more from “Musk Signals GOP Support in 2026 – Months After Trump Feud, Pledge to Start New Political Party” HERE)
