Wikipedia
maintains that articles on its site “should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered.”

A
new study by Media Research Center Free Speech America highlighted that Wikipedia has discounted right-leaning sources as reliable and prohibited their citation in articles, all but guaranteeing that the site is little more than a repository for liberal propaganda.

It’s no secret that Wikipedia’s volunteer editors are predominantly ideological myopes favorable to leftist causes, ideas, and personalities and antipathetic to conservatives of various stripes.

For instance, editors at Wikipedia, whose parent company
blew 29.2% of its 2023-2024 budget on race-obsessive DEI programs, tried to hide Vice President JD Vance’s military accomplishments in the lead-up to the 2024 election; strategically eliminated any mention of Kamala Harris’ appointment as border czar on the list of executive branch czars; advocated deleting the entry detailing the mass killings executed by communist regimes, citing an anti-communist bias; labeled Elon Musk’s temporary suspension of journalists who allegedly violated his platform’s terms of service as the “Thursday Night Massacre”; and gaslighted readers about the history, existence, and nature of cultural Marxism, characterizing the well-defined and well-chronicled offshoot of Marxism as a a “conspiracy theory.”

‘Even in cases where the source may be valid, it is usually better to find a more reliable source instead.’

A
2024 study published in Online Information Review found that Wikipedia — now run by the former chief operating officer for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and previously run by a censorious alumna of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leader program who stated that “our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that is getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done” — suffers a “significant liberal bias in the choice of news media sources.”

The Dutch researchers noted further that “this effect persists when accounting for the factual reliability of the news media.”

Wikipedia, which now deals primarily in “propaganda” and exists only to “give an establishment point of view”
according to co-founder Larry Sanger, has apparently leaned harder into its bias.

The new MRC study noted that Wikipedia editors are permitted to cite a variety of leftist publications that have a reputation for pushing false narratives and fake news, including Jacobin, Mother Jones, NPR, and
Rolling Stone, but are precluded from citing publications not similarly staffed by liberal activists.

Citing the
Wikipedia page on reliable and perennial sources, the study highlighted that numerous reputable right-leaning publications have been blacklisted.

Wikipedia states, for instance, that Blaze News, the Daily Wire, the Daily Caller, the Epoch Times, Fox News, ZeroHedge, the Washington Free Beacon, the Federalist, RedState, the Media Research Center, and the Alexander Hamilton-founded New York Post “should normally not be used” as sources and “should never be used for information about a living person.”

“Even in cases where the source may be valid, it is usually better to find a more reliable source instead. If no such source exists, that may suggest that the information is inaccurate,” added the Wikipedia entry on reliable sources.

‘It is now only reliable for pushing a radical narrative.’

Whereas most right-leaning publications were flagged as “generally unreliable,” Breitbart News appears to have been among the few singled out for a formal blacklisting. Wikipedia alleged that the “site has published a number of falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and intentionally misleading stories as fact” and complained that the publication had revealed the identity of multiple Wikipedia editors.

The New York Times qualifies as reliable despite
falsely accusing President Donald Trump of lying about Democrats’ abortion ambitions; characterizing the suggestion that COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan lab that conducted dangerous experiments on coronaviruses as a “fringe” “conspiracy theory lack[ing] evidence”; printing false Hamas propaganda; pushing the Russian collusion narrative; and misleading readers on various other issues.

Rolling Stone, which has
paid out millions in the past for false and defamatory reporting, appears not to have learned its lesson, lying, for instance, in recent years about an imagined Florida book ban and smearing Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire. It was also characterized as “generally reliable.”

Politico similarly received a reliable rating despite — or perhaps as a result of — its willingness to help a cabal of former intelligence officials interfere with the 2020 election by mischaracterizing the New York Post’s reliable Hunter Biden laptop story as “Russian disinfo,” and to mislead Americans about the working relationship between former President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the benefit of the former vice president’s campaign.

According to the MRC study, only 16% of left-wing media sources were unable to secure Wikipedia’s stamp of approval. Meanwhile, 100% of right-leaning sources were effectively blacklisted.

The MRC study noted further that the predicable result is that “conservatives, Republicans, and Trump appointees are smeared, maligned, and slandered by the most popular online source for information about people.”

Christopher Bedford, senior editor for politics and Washington correspondent for Blaze Media, noted, “You’ve got to remember, none of this — none of it — is based in fact. We were right about COVID, right about Biden, right about immigration, right about trans. We were right about virtually every major contested issue impacting this country for the past 10 years, while over and over again outlets from the New York Times to PolitiFact were embarrassingly wrong.”

“They can’t handle that, and so the ideologues ban us,” continued Bedford. “It’s pathetic, but it’s also dangerous, and every penny you give to support this project is a penny given against speech and truth.”

Dan Schneider, MRC vice president, noted, “There used to be a joke about how Wikipedia could not be relied on by historians and academics. Wikipedia has now become the joke.”

“Its radical editors and staff reveal their contempt for conservatives in almost everything they inject into descriptions,” continued Schneider. “It was never something people could rely on for accurate information. It is now only reliable for pushing a radical narrative.”

The Democratic National Committee is getting demolished on social media after it elected David Hogg as vice chairman.

Hogg has been a histrionic voice of gun control since the horrific school shooting at a high school in Parkland. He has opposed gun rights in America and has been frequently ridiculed online for his extremist views.

‘Enjoy losing elections Democrats. America wins when you lose.’

On Saturday, Hogg celebrated being elected one of the vice chairs of the DNC.

“We need to build a Democratic Party that is authentic, relatable, earns people’s trust, and wins again — and that stops apologizing for being who we are,” he wrote on social media.

“We’re going to show people that the reason people should vote for us isn’t just because we’re not Republicans — it’s because we’re damn Democrats,” he added. “We give a s***. And we deliver. Now it’s time to rebuild the party and to rethink the way we’ve been doing things.”

Hogg’s elevation was celebrated by some on the left but mercilessly mocked by many on the right.

“Democrats just gave us a huge gift by electing anti-gun David Hogg as DNC Vice Chair,” replied activist Scott Presler. “There are so many quotes. There is so much content to work with.”

“David Hogg as DNC vice chair is the gift that keeps on giving. Enjoy losing elections Democrats. America wins when you lose,” responded New York attorney David Kolken.

“Makes sense. The party of incompetence just promoted their mascot for whining,” replied a pro-MAGA account.

“Hogg is the PERFECT poster boy for the new Democrat party; a frothy-mouthed socialist beta victim with absolutely no social skills or value, who must depend on exploited workers for even the most basic survival,” read another critical tweet.

Others focused on the time Hogg failed to start a progressive pillow company in order to rival the success of My Pillow by Mike Lindell, a passionate supporter of President Donald Trump.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) gave an interview where she appeared to instruct illegal immigrants to refrain from answering questions from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In an interview conducted in late January, Omar answered questions surrounding the immigration status of Somalis and provided advice to her fellow countrymen who may be in the country illegally.

In a video posted to Somali TV Minnesota’s YouTube channel, Omar was asked, according to a translation, “What would you advise the many immigrants from Somalia who [are] afraid of being deported as criminals because they entered the country illegally?”

“I advise the Somalian people that if ICE attempts to question you, you are not obligated to answer their questions. Just state that you were advised by a lawyer not to answer questions,” Omar responded, according to a translation of the video on X.

She continued, “Disclosure of your name, immigration status, and the mode of entry is not mandatory. Learn the laws and prepare yourself and refrain from disclosing information that you would prefer them not to know.”

One of the reports framed Omar’s presence at the event as her “hosting workshops” for illegal immigrants.

“Representative Ilhan Omar recently spoke to the media [and] advised people living in the country illegally,” the report stated.

A video posted the next day showed Omar wearing the same outfit as in the first video while presenting an award at the Norway House in Minneapolis on January 28, seemingly verifying the first video regarding illegal immigration was recorded in the same time frame.

‘This inhumane decision will have dangerous ripple effects.’

Omar had recently complained about President Trump’s executive order to suspend all refugee movement, calling it “beyond shameful.”

“The president has turned our back on those suffering from global catastrophe. This inhumane decision will have dangerous ripple effects around the world. Untold numbers of people around the world are hoping, praying, and counting on the United States to live up to the promise of being a country that welcomes them to a land of peace and opportunity,” Omar said in a press release.

The 42-year-old stated she is a refugee and that she and her family were given “a golden ticket to immigrate to the United States,” but others in refugee camps around the world will now no longer get the same opportunity.

She noted Trump’s order directly affected “hundreds of family members” of her constituents and claimed the decision goes against “basic morality,” implying it is the obligation of the United States to welcome “millions of children” from refugee camps around the world.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell denied the idea that the league favors Kansas Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and implied it shouldn’t be taken seriously.

The commissioner was asked during a pre-Super Bowl press conference about the “public perception” that NFL officials have favored the Chiefs.

Goodell’s first reaction was that the accusation reminded him of the theory that the NFL was scripted.

“Well, this sort of reminds me a little bit of the script, right, that I write a script, and I have the script for the entire season,” Goodell began.

The commissioner then alluded to the idea that media members will push the idea but never take ownership of it.

“I think from a lot of those theories are things that happen in social media, and they get a new life. As you say, it’s not your theory,” Goodell said to the reporter, who prefaced his question by saying he didn’t think the NFL was playing favorites.

Goodell continued, “It’s out there. Nobody wants it to be their theory. And so I understand it. I think it reflects a lot of the fans’ passion, and I think it also is a reminder for us how important officiating is.”

After praising his referees for adhering to the “highest possible standards,” Goodell called the favoritism “a ridiculous theory,” warning “anyone who might take it seriously.”

— (@)

‘I think that talks about the competitiveness of our game …’

The commissioner didn’t necessarily help his argument when he later boasted that 11 of the Chiefs’ 15 wins in the 2024 regular season were “within one score,” which would not serve as evidence that officiating was not catered to them.

“I think that talks about the competitiveness of our game and the importance of how we officiate it but also the competitiveness of how we play it,” the 65-year-old added.

Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman recently blamed the Chiefs’ opponents for their losses, not officiating.

On “The Jim Rome Show,” Edelman was asked if the claims and complaints reminded him of criticism the Patriots received about Tom Brady receiving favoritism from referees.

“Do referees drop footballs? Do referees go for fourth downs over and over with the same play and get stuffed? Do they throw interceptions?” Edelman asked.

The former wide receiver also seemingly called out the Buffalo Bills for their AFC championship loss to the Chiefs, in which they were stopped multiple times when repeating the same play.

“The refs aren’t involved in when you throw interceptions, when you fumble the ball, when you jump offsides, when you don’t convert third down or fourth down, or third and fourth down for short, four times. They can’t control that,” he concluded.

Two controversies have just flipped the art world on its head: The “Mona Lisa” is apparently leaving the Louvre in Paris, France, and a long-lost van Gogh painting has experts at odds.

Pat Gray and the “Unleashed” team unpack the reports.

The Louvre — once “the most famous, most exclusive art museum in the world” — has apparently become “a run-down dump,” says Pat. “Paint is peeling off the walls; the temperature control system isn’t working … which can ruin the art.”

France’s President Emmanuel Macron has announced that renovations are under way, with a special space being created for da Vinci’s masterpiece.

However, Francesca Caruso, the regional assessor for culture of Italy’s Lombardy region, has since suggested that the painting be returned to its original home in Italy.

“Leonardo represents Italian genius. Milan would be an ideal location to display the work,” she wrote, noting that the Winter Olympics, which Milan will host, is just a year away and is sure to elevate tourism.

On the other hand, a French king — Francis I — purchased the “Mona Lisa” in 1519. It has been hanging in France’s Louvre for over 200 years.

Regardless of who ends up with one of the art world’s greatest treasures, it’s likely that this tug-of-war wouldn’t be happening if France were a thriving nation — that is, it did not open its borders and implement socialism.

“You open the door to socialist policies, you put your country in a position to pay for everything, you don’t have a big enough tax base for this utopia, so … you have to import cheap labor from third-world countries, and here they come from North Africa and the Middle East, and what do you got? You got an entire continent that’s been overrun,” says Keith Malinak.

The second controversy that’s shaking up the art world involves a long-lost van Gogh painting that was purchased for $50 in 2016 at a garage sale in Minnesota. It took expert analysts at the New York-based LMI group years and $30,000 to verify its authenticity, but their recently released 450-page report has declared that it is indeed a product of the Dutch Post-Impressionist master.

Titled “Elimar” after an inscription on the front of the canvas, the work is believed by the art data science firm to belong to Saint-Rémy, now called Clinique van Gogh — a collection of paintings van Gogh made during his year-long stint at Saint-Paul sanitarium, during which he was a self-admitted patient.

However, the Van Gogh Museum, the ultimate authority on van Gogh paintings, has denied the attribution to the Post-Impressionist painter, deeming the LMI group’s report insufficient.

The painting is “thought to be worth over $15 million” and will soon be up for auction, says Pat, calling the entire ordeal “bizarre.”

Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, said he has been made aware of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) claiming that he is housing an illegal immigrant at the governor’s mansion.

“I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there’s someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to, and we said, ‘You know what, let’s have her live at our house above our garage.’ And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her,” Murphy taunted.

A representative of Murphy said his comments have been ‘misinterpreted.’

While on a tour at the U.S.-Mexico border with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homan told Fox News that if Murphy truly is harboring an illegal alien and attempts to interfere with federal law enforcement, there will be consequences.

“I think the governor is pretty foolish saying what he said because I got note of it, won’t let it go; we’ll look into it. And if he knowingly is harboring and concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation. … I will seek prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution. So maybe he’s bluffing. If he’s not, we’ll deal with that,” Homan vowed.

Homan reiterated that sanctuary cities better get in line with the Trump administration because violent criminals benefit when local police do not work with federal law enforcement.

The New York Post reported that Murphy is now cleaning up his comments after heavy criticism and mockery aimed at him. A representative of Murphy said his comments have been “misinterpreted” because he was actually referring to a friend who is a legal resident and was worried about Trump’s second term. The representative added that “no one’s ever lived in the home” under the circumstances Murphy described.

While the deportation operations are being led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and being reinforced by other federal agencies, Homan has made clear that any apprehended person who is in the country illegally, with a criminal record or not, will be removed from the country.

According to daily statistics from ICE, around 800-1,000 illegal aliens have been arrested per day. The Trump administration is working to further expand the government’s ability to have more officers on the streets and more funding for holding centers and deportation flights.

Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) said he will place a “blanket hold” on President Donald Trump’s State Department nominees to slow-walk their confirmations.

On Monday, Schatz explained that he is stalling the president’s nominations to protest Trump’s and Elon Musk’s desire to dissolve the United States Agency for International Development.

‘I will do maximal delays until this is resolved.’

Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency discovered wasteful, anti-American spending by USAID.

“As we dug into USAID, it became apparent that what we have here is not an apple with a worm in it, but we have, actually, just a ball of worms,” Musk said. “It’s hopeless. USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple, you just gotta basically get rid of the whole thing.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Monday that he is the acting director of USAID.

“One of the most common complaints you will get if you go to embassies around the world from State Department officials and ambassadors and the like is USAID is not only not cooperative — they undermine the work that we’re doing in that country, they are supporting programs that upset the host government for whom we’re trying to work with on a broader scale, and so forth,” Rubio stated.

On Monday, workers were locked out of the USAID building as the White House prepares a reorganization of the agency’s activities.

Democrats gathered outside the building to protest, claiming the action was “illegal.”

Schatz stated that he plans to retaliate against the Trump administration’s decision by opposing senators’ requests for “unanimous consent” to expedite the confirmation process of presidential nominees.

“I will vote no. I will do maximal delays until this is resolved,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “You cannot wave a wand and eliminate a department established by federal law, so it will be reversed by a court.”

Schatz claimed that dissolving USAID would be “illegal” and make the country “less safe.”

“Donald Trump and Elon Musk can’t just wish it away with a stroke of a pen — they need to pass a law,” he said. “Until and unless this brazenly authoritarian action is reversed and USAID is functional again, I will be placing a blanket hold on all of the Trump administration’s State Department nominees.”

“This is self-inflicted chaos of epic proportions that will have dangerous consequences all around the world,” Schatz claimed.

Schatz’s hold will force Republican lawmakers to waste floor time to confirm Trump’s nominees instead of fast-tracking them for a vote. While Democrats do not have enough votes on their own to block Trump’s picks, they can drag out the process.

Back before his first term began eight years ago, President Donald Trump promised the American electorate that, once in office, he would work steadfastly to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C., ostensibly referencing the tens of thousands of nameless, faceless federal bureaucrats who have no direct accountability to the American people.

Now in February 2025, it appears the swamp has begun draining itself after Trump offered a buyout that some of them seemingly couldn’t refuse.

According to a scoop from Axios, as of Tuesday, some 20,000 federal workers have already accepted the buyout, which was officially pitched a week ago. Those 20,000 employees represent approximately 1% of the federal workforce, a significant number, to be sure, but a far cry from the 5% to 10% of the workforce the Trump administration had originally projected.

‘Whichever path you choose, we thank you for your service to the United States of America.’

The deadline to accept the buyout is still two days away, so officials are still expecting the number of resignations to increase, especially in light of the major shakeup at the U.S. Agency for International Development.

“We expect more to come,” one official told Axios. “If you see what’s happening at USAID, it’s just one piece of the puzzle.”

The terms of the buyout are indeed enticing. Those who accept it retain all existing benefits until the end of September without having to return to the office, so long as they complete “reasonable and customary tasks and processes to facilitate” their exit.

The process of accepting the offer is also remarkably easy. All that the people who wish to resign need to do is reply to the offer on their official government email account, type “resign” in the subject line, and hit “send.”

By contrast, those who choose to stay must commit to working at the office five days a week and to upholding a culture based on merit rather than, say, seniority or identity. Those who remain also still run the risk of losing their positions to “restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force,” though the Trump administration has pledged to honor all “relevant collective-bargaining agreements” during the restructuring process.

“Whichever path you choose, we thank you for your service to the United States of America,” the buyout offer stated.

Axios further noted that on average, the annual attrition rate of the federal workforce is about 6%. So some of those who accepted the buyout may have left anyway.

Following a pair of heated hearings last week, the Senate Finance Committee voted on Tuesday to advance Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy’s confirmation will now move to the Senate floor.

Kennedy managed to secure support from all 14 Republicans on the committee, including Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who expressed hesitancy about the nominee following the hearing. All 13 committee Democrats voted against Kennedy.

’20 years ago, Autism in children was 1 in 10,000. NOW IT’S 1 in 34.’

“I’ve had very intense conversations with Bobby and the White House over the weekend and even this morning,” Cassidy said Tuesday. “I want to thank VP JD specifically for his honest counsel.”

“With the serious commitments I’ve received from the administration and the opportunity to make progress on the issues we agree on like healthy foods and a pro-American agenda, I will vote yes,” Cassidy added.

Ahead of the vote, Trump reiterated support for Kennedy and his health advocacy.

“20 years ago, Autism in children was 1 in 10,000,” Trump said in a Tuesday post on Truth Social. “NOW IT’S 1 in 34. WOW! Something’s really wrong. We need BOBBY!!! Thank You! DJT.”

Kennedy came under fire during his confirmation hearings last week, primarily over his views on vaccines. Kennedy reiterated that he is in favor of vaccines while also insisting that the science behind vaccines needs to be more thorough and transparent. Kennedy also called out hypocritical senators who harped on his health care views while also accepting money from Big Pharma.

In a recent interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller rebuked the anchor’s faulty narratives with such precision and rancor, Pat Gray can’t help but liken it to “castration.”

“There’s 2 million employees in the federal government. Overwhelmingly the career federal service in this country is far left, left-wing,” Miller began.

Tapper, however, pushed back, stating, “I don’t know that to be a fact.”

“We looked at USAID as an example. 98% of the workforce either donated to Kamala Harris or another left-wing candidate,” Miller responded.

Tapper could scarcely get “demonizing an entire workforce” out of his mouth before Miller brutally cut him off (with a smile on his face).

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you just say that saying that someone voted for Kamala Harris is demonizing them?”

Tapper was not impressed and asked Miller to “get back on track.”

“I am on track. Let me stay on track,” Miller assured, before reiterating that of the 2 million federal employees, the majority identify as left-wing. “The American people voted for dramatic change implemented by Donald Trump.”

“[Tapper’s] giblets are gone after this,” says Pat. “He just owned him on his own show.”

Co-host Keith Malinak, however, has his own clip from the interview that he says is even more of a castration.

In this segment, Tapper brought up high grocery prices and stated that that was one of the main reasons Trump was elected.

“The Department of Agriculture says that between 2020 and 2022, 42% of crop workers were undocumented immigrants, and in many cases, as you know, these migrants do jobs many Americans do not want to do. So how do you, how does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn’t end up hurting Americans who want safe borders … but also don’t want to see even higher prices in groceries?” he asked.

Miller’s response was lethal.

“I’m sure it’s not your position, Jake, you’re just asking the question, that we should supply America’s food with exploitative illegal alien labor. I obviously don’t think that’s what you’re implying,” he began.

“Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture,” he corrected. “The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland, as we’ve seen with the Biden floods. None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work,” he then corrected.

Tapper accused him of “changing the subject,” but Miller would not be redirected.

Those whom “[Biden] brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua – they are not doing farm work. They are in our cities collecting welfare. As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports. Over time, as well, we will transition into automation, so we’ll never have to have this conversation ever again,” he fired back.

“But there’s no universe in which this nation is going to allow the previous president to flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here, and we are especially not going to allow a subset of those illegal aliens to rape and murder our citizens. So we are going to unapologetically enforce our immigration laws,” he continued.

But he still wasn’t done humiliating Tapper, who by this point had gone silent.

“And as I’m sure you will celebrate, we are going to unleash the power and might of the U.S. government to eradicate the presence of transnational threats on our soil,” he continued.

Tapper, the entire time, was looking down uncomfortably, stacking and restacking papers, with a grimace plastered on his face.

“Stephen Miller will never be invited on to Jake Tapper’s show ever again,” laughs Keith.

To see the footage, watch the clip above.

Vice President JD Vance visited East Palestine, Ohio, on the second anniversary of the Feb. 3, 2023, Norfolk Southern train derailment, which blackened the sky over the village with hazardous chemicals, threatened the health of nearby residents, and poisoned the surrounding environment.

Vance
stressed that the people of East Palestine have not been forgotten, signaling a desire to ensure a proper cleanup of the area in his home state.

The derailment

A Norfolk Southern freight train with 141 packed cars, nine empty cars, and three locomotives
derailed in East Palestine on Feb. 3, 2023. Thirty-eight cars, 11 containing hazardous materials — including vinyl chloride, benzene residue, hydrogen chloride, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate, and isobutylene — ultimately went off the tracks as the result of a failed wheel bearing.

Fearing that the initial fires engulfing the wreckage might cause a “catastrophic tanker failure,” emergency crews for the railroad — which
spent over $1.5 million lobbying in Washington, D.C., just last year and hundreds of millions more going back to 1990 — conducted a vent and burn of five tanks of vinyl chloride, darkening the sky with what the National Transportation Safety Board called a toxic “mushroom cloud.”

‘This community will not be forgotten.’

Blaze News
previously reported that burning vinyl chloride, as the accident-prone railroad did with some of the over 877,000 pounds contained in its derailed cars, produced hydrogen chloride and phosgene gas, the latter of which was used to massacre troops in World War I.

The NTSB
revealed last June that the decision to execute the controlled burn, which forced 2,000 residents to flee their homes, killed thousands of local creatures, heavily contaminated nearby waters, and sent possibly cancer-causing airborne toxins into the air across multiple states well beyond the accident week, “was based on incomplete and misleading information provided by Norfolk Southern officials and contractors. The vent and burn was not necessary to prevent a tank car failure.”

Vance on the ground

Two years after
highlighting the environmental damage in East Palestine and demanding that its residents cannot be forgotten, Vance returned, underscoring that the village was not and would not be forgotten.

“I talked to the president about this visit a couple days ago. The president loves this community. Of course, he visited it personally,” Vance told a crowd in the village’s firehouse. “President Trump just wanted to deliver a message that this community will not be forgotten, will not be left behind, and we are in it for the long haul in East Palestine.”

Vance indicated that the “environmental cleanup has to get done,” calling it a “tragedy and a shame” that the Biden administration dropped the ball.

The vice president also signaled an interest in helping rejuvenate the local economy, stating, “We are committed not just to finishing the environmental side of the cleanup but hopefully seeing East Palestine built back better and stronger and more prosperous than it was before the disaster happened in the first place.”

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin
indicated that Vance’s office told him immediately after his confirmation that his first order of business was East Palestine and that the cleanup effort is now the EPA’s highest priority.

Litigation

In the meantime, locals are looking for accountability by way of litigation.

A new lawsuit involving 744 current and former residents of East Palestine that was recently filed against Norfolk Southern and agencies at all levels of government alleges that seven people including a 1-week-old baby died in the aftermath of the railroad wreck,
reported KDKA-TV.

The lawsuit reportedly also claims that Norfolk Southern — already on the hook for a $600 million class-action settlement
approved in September, an over $310 million settlement with the federal government, and a settlement with East Palestine that was announced on Jan. 27 — fumbled the cleanup efforts, while government agencies failed to properly warn residents about health risks.

The Associated Press
indicated that at least another nine lawsuits have been filed in recent days by individuals and businesses, claiming that Norfolk Southern’s greed was responsible for the derailment and suggesting that the $600 million settlement is insufficient to compensate the victims or to prompt the railroad to change its behavior.

While a railroad spokeswoman Heather Garcia declined to comment on the lawsuits, she told the Associated Press, “We’ve made significant progress, and we aren’t done.”

Republican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana committed on Tuesday to voting in favor of Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to serve as director of national intelligence. Young was the last Republican holdout left on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is set to vote on Gabbard’s nomination Tuesday afternoon.

Young’s endorsement of Gabbard came the morning after Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine also came out in support of the nominee. Both Young and Collins expressed hesitancy about Gabbard following her fiery hearing last Thursday but have since changed their tone in favor of the nominee.

‘Senator Young will be a great ally in restoring power to the people from the vast, unelected bureaucracy.’

“I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard’s engagement with me on a variety of issues to ensure that our intelligence professionals will be supported and policymakers will receive unbiased information under her leadership,” Young said in a Tuesday post on X. “I have done what the Framers envisioned for senators to do: use the consultative process to seek firm commitments, in this case commitments that will advance our national security, which is my top priority as a former Marine Corps intelligence officer.”

“Having now secured these commitments, I will support Tulsi’s nomination and look forward to working with her to protect our national security,” Young added.

Young came under fire for his hesitation on Gabbard last week, prompting an online pressure campaign from Gabbard’s supporters. Most notably, tech mogul Elon Musk called Young a “deep state puppet,” likely referring to his lack of support for Gabbard.

Musk promptly deleted the post and later said that he had a productive conversation with Young, leading some to speculate that he may have influenced Young’s vote on Gabbard.

“Just had an excellent conversation with Sen. Todd Young,” Musk said. “I stand corrected. Senator Young will be a great ally in restoring power to the people from the vast, unelected bureaucracy.”

Ottawa Senators fans in Canada booed “The Star-Spangled Banner” despite their best players being from south of the border.

The Senators hosted the Minnesota Wild on Saturday and walloped their opponents 6 to 0. During the playing of the U.S. national anthem, fans booed as the threat of tariffs on their goods into the U.S. loomed.

The only problem is that the Senators top scorers are Americans.

Brady Tkachuk leads the team in goals, and he hails from Scottsdale, Arizona. Second in goals is Josh Norris from Oxford, Michigan. Adam Gaudette from Braintree, Massachusetts, Drake Batherson from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Shane Pinto from Franklin Square, New York, round out the team’s best players.

Interestingly enough, forward Michael Amadio was the only Canadian to score a goal that night, as well.

The Senators do not have any Canadian goalies on their roster, either.

It turns out Senators fans may have a greater reliance on imports than they thought, as only veteran player Claude Giroux has hit the 10-goal mark this season in terms of Canadian skaters.

A similar situation happened at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday. Before the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Detroit Red Wings 3 to 2, fans booed the U.S. national anthem.

The X user who posted the video explicitly said the trade tariffs were the reason:

“Trump said a levy of 25% on Canadian and Mexican imports as well as an additional 10% tax on Chinese goods would come into force on Tuesday.”

Similarly, the Canucks got no scoring from any Canadians that night, with Detroit’s Alex DeBrincat of Farmington Hills, Michigan, scoring the game-winner in overtime.

The Canucks roster is also riddled with Americans, and while Canadian Jake DeBrusk leads the team in goals, the top three point-getters on the team are Americans Quinn Hughes, J.T. Miller, and Conor Garland.

The Canucks have struggled this year and actually could benefit from a lot more production out of their Canadian players; just two of their 13 highest point-producers are Canadian, left winger Danton Heinen and the aforementioned DeBrusk.

In the end, the tariffs did not end up being implemented, or at least were delayed another 30 days when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to implement a $1.3 billion border plan that was actually mapped out weeks earlier.
