Tucker just posted this video to X.

Ep. 85 Steve Nikoui is a carpenter from California whose son was killed during Biden’s pullout from Afghanistan. Joe Biden won’t say his name, so at the State of the Union speech, Steve Nikoui did. He was immediately arrested for it.

As a former Democrat, it was easy for me to see the strategy. Provoke the Right, get all of the self-important narcissists on social media to harumph and huff and puff, and just like that, you’ve rallied the base. Political viagra for a dying campaign. It’s just so cynical. So cruel.

The reaction is the action. ...

As I’ve said before, the Christians were on the right side of history during slavery and they’re on the right side of history now. Going to war on them, as the Biden administration is doing, just means that the Democrats will own every terrible thing that comes next. All of the lawsuits. All of the documentaries. All of the memoirs. Do not let them slime their way out of it. They had all of the information they needed to protect kids and they refused.

Children growing up in America now have no way out. They are encouraged to head down this path and only the strongest of parents can stop them. Everywhere they look, they see the same messaging, that there is something wrong with being straight or heterosexual or white. Since they can’t un-white themselves, all they can change is their gender. If they change that, suddenly, they are in one of the sacred, protected groups and are celebrated on a day like today. ...

There doesn’t seem to be any way out except to elect Republicans to, at the very least, separate this ideology from government, and from public schools. And again, if this ideology was not directly harming women, girls and boys I would not care. You do you. But that isn’t what’s happening.

Children’s programming, books, and movies are now required to be “inclusive” so that everyone must accept their cult-like mandate that children choose their own genders and that they’ll kill themselves if they aren’t allowed to take puberty blockers and head toward sterilization.

They grow up with this madness being shoved down their throats and very few people who have the courage to stand up and say STEP OFF YOU CULTISH FREAKS. Not on my watch. No, instead we have compliant, mealy-mouthed cowards who are too afraid of being called transphobic and having their careers ruined.

Billboard Chris is out there every single day fighting for kids. And God bless him.

We need an army of Billboard Chris’s. We don’t have them. So we have to vote the Democrats out. It’s not going to be easy. They have all the power and the money. The one thing they don’t have is the truth. As long as their ideology is rooted in fanaticism and delusion, it will eventually collapse.

What they have coming is entirely of their own making. They have made it impossible for reasonable people to be both accepting and protective. They’ve pushed all of us too far. And now, they’ll have to suffer the consequences.

Anyway, Happy Easter.

When the economy is doing well, pawn shop inventories tend to go down because people aren’t pawning much stuff and there is lots of buying going on.

But when the economy is not doing well, pawn shop inventories tend to go up because people are pawning lots of stuff for fast cash and there aren’t as many buyers as there were during the good times.

So what are we seeing during the early stages of 2024?

One pawn shop owner that was recently interviewed by USA Today admitted that he has “a glut of inventory” right now…

Pretty much every poor person should be able to clearly see how disastrous Biden's occupation of the White House has been for them personally.

Thanks, Joe Biden! The Wall Street Journal ran a story yesterday headlined, “Russia and China Double Down on Defying U.S.” I would just like to take a moment to point out, don’t cancel me, that Russia and China were always adversaries until Joe Biden invaded the White House. Just saying.

Days after Joe Biden “urgently” called President Xi on Friday — for the first time since 2022 — and warned the Chinese leader to stop helping Russia or else face sanctions, and we mean it this time, Russia and China yesterday publicly pledged to “deepen their growing alliance and shared opposition to what they describe as the U.S.’s attempts to dominate the world order.”

While NATO leaders increase their deranged threats to supply another $100 billion to Ukraine and even send NATO troops there, Russia and China are sending a clear message that Russia will not face NATO alone in the event of a direct kinetic conflict. That is a clear message that, unfortunately, Joe Biden cannot hear, since the batteries in his hearing aids have run down.

In the aftermath of Joe’s sanctions catastrophe against Russia, which just poured jet fuel into Russia’s economy while leading the United States’ economy to the brink of a tall cliff, the Biden Administration’s threats to sanction China seem particularly hollow:

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen repeated Biden’s concerns during a visit to China this week, telling officials that Chinese companies that aid in Russia’s military procurement “will face significant consequences.”

Please, no more significant consequences. I don’t know how many more “significant consequences” we can take.
