Elaine Chao is the wife of Mitch McConnell, former Secretary of Transportation and fun fact: her family owns an enormous shipping company. Her father, James S.C. Chao, founded it in 1964 (originally Foremost Maritime Corporation). Her sister Angela Chao (who passed away in 2024) served as Chair and CEO. Foremost Group’s operations are heavily oriented toward China. A large percentage of its chartered cargo (e.g., ~72% of tonnage in one 2018–2019 period) involved shipments to/from China. The company has built ships in Chinese yards, borrowed from Chinese state-linked banks, and maintained relationships with Chinese entities (including past board ties by family members to a Chinese state shipbuilding company). As Transportation Secretary (2017–2021), Chao oversaw the U.S. maritime industry, including the Maritime Administration (MARAD), which supports the U.S.-flag fleet, port infrastructure grants, and related policy. Critics, including in a major 2019 New York Times investigation, highlighted potential conflicts: her position boosted the family’s profile in China, and there were reports of her office using DOT resources for family-related matters (e.g., a planned 2017 official trip to China that included family members and was canceled over ethics concerns; photo sessions and appearances with her father and Foremost employees). An Office of Inspector General report later found she used agency staff for personal/family errands tied to the business. No formal ethics violation was ultimately charged, and defenders noted Foremost operates foreign-flagged international ships (not U.S.-flag, so outside much direct DOT regulation)…but is that any better?

@ItsYourGov Elaine Chao - $50,000. John Bolton - $40,000. Many, many politicians involved.

🚨BREAKING:🚨OBAMA-APPOINTED FEDERAL JUDGE WHO ORDERED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NAME REMOVED FROM KENNEDY CENTER ACCUSED OF TAKING PAYMENTS FROM WEALTHY LIBERAL DONORS TO THE HISTORIC ARTS CENTER WHO WERE STRONGLY OPPOSED TO NAME CHANGE - Obama-appointed US District Judge Christopher Cooper is being accused of a clerk turned whistleblower of SOLICITING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BRIBES from wealthy leftist elites who previously were top donors to The Kennedy Center that helped fund the premier performing arts center but were HEAVILY AGAINST THE RECENT NAME CHANGE that added President Trump's name to the historic building alongside Kennedy's. The clerk is claiming that the liberal activist Obama judge essentially engaged in A PAY FOR PLAY BRIBERY SCHEME with the donors to ensure that President Trump's name would be removed from The Kennedy Center in exchange for lining his own pockets - and that THE CORRUPT JUDGE knew that the law was on President Trump's side for the name change but ruled against him for his own personal enrichment anyway. It is yet the latest egregious example of the ongoing JUDICIAL COUP against President Trump. What do YOU think the consequences should be for this TRUMP HATING ACTIVIST WEARING A ROBE whose actions make AN ABSOLUTE MOCKERY of our nation's federal judiciary?

This is because your sports team won? No. It’s because once you teach animals they can get away with whatever, they do it over and over and over again.

In the UK you're not allowed to sing hymns unless you're in a church. Why did the cop stick her tongue out like that? Weird.

In the late seventies I crossed the Atlantic on the QE2. I went First Class, which I paid for with my first real paycheck. We had a mandatory dress code for dinner. Black Tie and commensurate formal wear for the ladies. It was one of my favorite memories.

Xavier Becerra says he would not change anything about how California is run. More of the same policies. Where have we heard that before?

Joe Rogan watches in disbelief as a video reveals America’s “nonprofit” hospitals actually rake in $45,000,000,000 in profit every year. ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.” One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year. Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year. P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’” “The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.” “A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.” “It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.” “Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”

Colorado is a DSA-controlled state. That’s how we got here so quickly. They have Stryker money, an army of radicalized purple hairs, and the power of appointing state reps… But businesses refusing to platform them and a dismal state capitol rally turnout for hasan piker is encouraging. 👀

The Ogden and other Denver venues reportedly backed out of hosting this DSA rally. Maybe Colorado is starting to realize what so many others already have, DSA is politically toxic. No amount of feel-good proposals can hide the radicalism underneath.

"Why are there so many commercial real estate vacancies all over LA?!? It's such a mystery!" Until you crack down on this rampant criminal activity, you cannot reverse this blight, nobody will want to do business in LA, and our economic death spiral will continue, unabated.

A guy started a fire in Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles. Fire stares blazing. Hikers caught and confronted him.

FACT CHECK: Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. Many of the individuals the media counts as 'non-criminals' are actually terrorists, human rights abusers, and foreign fugitives who just don't have a rap sheet in the U.S. We are going after the worst of the worst, including gang members, pedophiles, and rapists.

@Real_Cy_Ama @Patrick92641659 @EYakoby Wrong lol

@EYakoby There is nearly an endless supply of absolute moral terpitude from Platner, and every post is searchable and available here: themainemonitor.org/platner-reddit…

@EYakoby He just gets better and better, doesn’t he?

BREAKING: Newly surfaced posts by Graham Platner reveal that he mocked a young girl’s suicide attempt, saying “clearly you’re not trying hard enough.” How are the Democrats still backing this maniac?

@IvoryHecker You’re my hero

Five years ago today I called out Fox Corp live on air, then did several independent reports on how they’d become compromised: ⚫️Fox had threatened to fire me for covering the story they assigned me to cover, all because the true narrative was different from the “safe” narrative they had anticipated. ⚫️The true narrative was that four times more lives were being saved at a hospital that used a COVID treatment protocol that the CDC/FDA recommended against using. ⚫️Fox had been pushing its reporters to only tell people to do what the CDC/FDA said to do, rather than pursuing journalism which is: Go out and see what people are actually doing and cover what’s actually working and not working. ⚫️So when Fox sent me to a hospital to cover COVID treatment, they expected me to report the copy/paste version of what CDC/FDA said to tell people was happening. ⚫️When I adhered to journalism and covered what was actually happening there, Fox issued a letter for my files, lying about me, threatening to fire me, and they put me on a social media blackout—no posting anything unless it is “safe news” approved by management before the post. ⚫️All because I approached a COVID story the same way I approached crime stories: Go out there, be curious, ask the people’s questions, report what’s actually happening. ⚫️When Fox crossed the line and later sent their HR lady in Atlanta after me to tell me standing up for free speech is not something I’m allowed to do, I knew it was time to leave that compromised company. (I’ve posted all the receipts from this showdown in the past and still have more receipts I haven’t posted.) ⚫️I left the company and then found out there were Fox Corp employees all over the nation going through similar stories. I heard from staff at other news companies—ABC, CBS, etc.—with very similar stories. ⚫️It was much easier for me to leave and sound the alarm as a single girl who didn’t have a family to provide for. My heart goes out to those who have not left and are still within the compromised machine at news companies across the country. ⚫️May you find a way to take a stand, even if from the inside. Never compromise your conscience. Take a stand—even a small one—and God will protect you. Life’s too short not to. ⚫️We’re not in the pandemic anymore, but there are countless news stories where the corporations just don’t have the spine to tell the truth, and they’re ready to persecute their reporters for sticking with journalism. ⚫️Yes, COVID treatment was not the only story Fox was compromised on. I went on to cover how they hid anomalies related to elections to help viewers believe elections are always perfect. I covered how they acted as a PR team for vaccine companies rather than seeking answers to their viewers’ concerns about them. And I covered how they used crime coverage to deceptively pit races against each other in an effort to increase ratings. ⚫️I thank @JamesOKeefeIII and @Project_Veritas from the bottom of my heart for picking up my story and sending it so viral. I do believe it made at least a small difference in challenging news outlets to get back to honesty over “safety.”

Integrity is a rarest of commodities in modern journalism. Ivory Hecker is one of the rare ones.

HORRIFYING: Yasmeen Khan, owner of a beauty salon, offered free courses to young Christian and Hindu women to lure them in. Once there, she drugged their drinks. When they lost consciousness, she called her husband Mohammed Khan, who raped them while she stood watch at the entrance. They recorded the abuses to blackmail them and force them to have relations with more Muslim men. When questioned, Yasmeen justified the crimes by saying that helping to rape "infidel girls" would lead her to Paradise. This is Islam.

L.A. mail-in ballot signature verification is done by a machine that can be altered to let mismatched signatures pass, just like in the Arizona 2020 election, when election workers testified that they were told to ignore the flashing warnings on computers alerting that the signatures on ballots did NOT match. The homeless in L.A. stated that they were using other people's names, and addresses, and filling out 3 to 5 fraudulent ballots a day, and ballot mules would come at least 3x a week to pay them to fill out ballots. The signatures obviously didn't match because the homeless were using other people's information. Turning down the accuracy for signature verification is EXACTLY how they pass the fake signatures through the machines, if they really even check signatures on the fraudulent ballots at all.
