The blaze broke out at a lithium battery recycling facility in Maddington on Sunday, sparking a hazmat warning for the area…

Days later, this warning is still in place.

If residents are experiencing symptoms, it’s recommended to shelter indoors and close windows.

Such fires are increasingly common. From the ABC:

DFES [Department of Fire and Emergency Services] chief superintendent for Metro South Scott Hares said … that DFES had responded to 63 lithium battery fires so far this year — around four per week.

Electric car batteries are so prone to bursting into flames that Chevy Bolt owners were advised not to park them in garages or near other vehicles. A major cargo carrier has refused to ship them. Drivers have been cremated alive. The fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish and sometimes reignite.

But at least the climate won’t hold the smoke from these fires against us, because it will know that we meant well.

From the New York Post:

A group of over 250 journalists implored members of the Beltway press corps to “forcefully demonstrate opposition” to President Trump at the ritzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.

This will be the first White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner Trump has attended as president. Liberal media piranhas will try to make it his last.

The WHCA, which represents the White House press corps, is organizing the annual dinner and has clashed with Trump repeatedly over the past year.

When last we encountered Dan Rather, CBS was forced to fire him for using forged documents to prop up lies about George W. Bush’s military service. Like a bad penny, he turns up again:

Prominent veteran journalists such as former CBS News anchor Dan Rather, infamous for erroneous reporting on President George W. Bush’s military service, and former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson signed the missive.

Here I was thinking Sam Donaldson had retired back to whatever planet Klingons come from.

Groups such as the Society of Professional Journalists, the Coalition for Women in Journalism, the National Association of Black Journalists, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, and more signed it as well.

That these groups are about advancing Cultural Marxist rather than reporting the news is often obvious in their names.

Don Lemon has pioneered the practice of supposed journalists casting themselves in the starring role in contrived news stories, having gotten himself arrested for his participation in a raid on a St. Paul church during services. No word on whether he signed too.

The call for protests comes amid polling pegging trust in the media at all-time lows, particularly among Republican voters. Last year, Gallup found that only 28% of the public has a great or fair amount of trust in mass media.

Sun Tzu gave sound advice when he said, “If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.” Driven into a state of perpetual rage by Trump Derangement Syndrome, the legacy media has set itself up as the enemy of Trump. This raises Trump in public esteem — the exact opposite of what “journalists” hope to accomplish.

The job board is called Migrant Mate, and there’s even a mobile app promising it will help “Land your dream job in the U.S.”

It features over half a million jobs for which foreign workers can apply, filtered by visa type.

It’s not just for foreign job-seekers, of course. If you’re an American company looking to undercut the market for American workers, Migrant Mate is your completely legal enabler.

Since foreign workers cost less, it makes sense to hire them first, provided employers have no loyalty to their own country — and loyalty to America is rare among employers in the age of ESG.

Looks like Migrant Mate is being used to staff the NYPD:

Daily Caller reports from California:

Albany Unified School District (AUSD) hosted [a] trip to Virginia for “young men and women of color” to visit Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and discuss issues such as “social justice,” according to documents obtained by parental rights group Defending Education (DE) and shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The trip was approved by the board of education and cost the district $42,845.

If Critical Race Theory is the study of hating whites, “social justice” is its application.

You can see why educrats would not want white kids to participate. Word might get back to parents regarding the race hate being instilled in children by the extravagantly expensive public schools we are forced to finance.

The district maintains several other programs geared specifically toward non-white students and staff, documents show.

For example,

AUSD’s 2025-2026 Local Control and Accountability Plan names “Young Men of Color and Young Women of Color Programs” that aim to “provide social emotional supports to most underserved students.” The programs are part of a $1,257,234 “social emotional/mental health” support effort.

“Underserved” is Liberalese for “favored.” Needless to say, white kids are not “underserved” in public schools.

The same plan details the district’s intention to provide staff with “professional development” programs centered on “culturally responsive/anti-racist pedagogy.”

“Antiracist” is Liberalese for “racist against whites.”

Another discovered document confirms that whites are systematically discriminated against in the hiring of teachers.

Public schools have been subverted. Their current purpose is not to educate but to tear apart American society using the crowbar of Cultural Marxism, a tool of demolition by which identity groups are indoctrinated in grievance and then arrayed against the core population.

Even after they get rid of billionaires, equity will still not have been achieved. So progressives will have to go after multimillionaires like Mamdani’s parents. But still some people will have more than others. Eventually it will be thousandaires who should not exist, and then hundredaires.

A baby boy was “routinely ill-treated, sexually abused and physically assaulted” before he was killed by a secondary school teacher adopting him, a jury has heard.

Jamie Varley, the teacher, 37, and his partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, 32, were in the process of adopting Preston Davey.

People like this will naturally be drawn to teaching children for obvious reasons.

Here’s how the baby died:

A postmortem gave his cause of death as acute upper airways obstruction, a result either of a smothering, most likely with a hand or soft fabric, or by the insertion of an object or objects into his mouth.

What kind of object is probably best left unstated.

Varley denies murder, manslaughter, two counts of assault by penetration, five counts of cruelty to a child, grievous bodily harm, sexual assault of a child, 13 counts of taking indecent photos or videos of a child, one of distributing an indecent photo of a child to his co-accused, and one of making an indecent photo.

Via Knysna-Plett Herald:

AfriForum’s research shows that at least 184 farm attacks and 29 farm murders occurred in 2025, compared to 176 attacks and 37 murders in 2024.

The attacks frequently include rape and torture. The most vulnerable are preyed upon:

In 2025, victims ranged from young children to the elderly.

It does appear that people older than 61 years are particularly vulnerable, with 1 in 2 victims (or 54% of all victims whose ages are known) falling into this age category.

Behind closed doors, the sort of people who run the US media would call this “racial justice.” But it doesn’t look good on the front page.

Eventually there will be no more white farmers to rape, torture, and murder. The leftists the government was turned over to will confiscate their land. Then it will lie fallow, as in the former Breadbasket of Africa, after Rhodesia was reduced to Zimbabwe. Other countries will be expected to provide food aid.

An RAF cadet has been suspended after he said Islam poses the greatest security threat to the UK…

He made the comment during a question-and-answer session in which he and other cadets were asked about dangers to British security.

What he said is obviously true.

Britain has responded to more than 20 plots backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran since 2022 and the Government has said the threat from the country to the UK is ‘persistent and unacceptable’. …

Islamist extremists have committed some of the worst atrocities on UK soil including the 2005 London Underground bombings, in which 52 people died, and the Ariana Grande concert attack in Manchester in 2017, which left 22 dead.

Then there is the devastating and possibly permanent cultural damage already inflicted by Muslim colonization.

But under liberal rule, you don’t get in trouble for saying things that are not true. More likely, you get a pat on the head. It is saying things that are true that gets you in hot water.

Britain is ruled by enemies who will oversee its eradication if they are not overthrown.

The New York Post reports:

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson linked the restaurant industry to “slavery” Wednesday as he defended his push to eliminate the tipped wage, doubling down after surviving a City Council effort to block the policy.

Johnson wants tipped workers to get full minimum wage on the grounds that it constitutes reparations for slavery. He says most service workers who rely on tips are nonwhite and therefore should be given more money.

“You just watched the entire city council, in transparency, try to take wages away from the very people who are part of an industry that has its ties to slavery is hiding from that,” Johnson said. “I am boldly declaring that we need reparations in this city, and that’s why I’m funding it.”

City alderman voted to block the wage increase, probably on the grounds that it would throw restaurants out of business and waiters out of work. Johnson responded with a veto.

A spokesperson from Johnson’s office doubled down on Johnson linking tipped wages to slavery, suggesting that it became common practice for “white employers in the South” following the Emancipation.

Even tipping workers is a form of racist oppression.

Maybe we should give Brandon Johnson a break. It can’t be easy to prop up an ideology based entirely on injustices suffered by people who lived centuries ago.

Amatitla, 38, of Maspeth [actually of Mexico not Maspeth], is charged with eight counts of second-degree murder and first-degree arson after allegedly lighting a three-story Flushing building on fire March 16, which he selected at random.

Amatitla is an illegal alien in addition to an accused criminal maniac, so he can count on protection by Democrats.

After stealing a beer from a gas station, he enriched our multicultural tapestry by starting a fire in an apartment building on Avery Avenue in Queens.

As smoke engulfed the street, [Queens District Attorney Melinda] Katz said he stayed in the immediate area to watch people burn and jump from the windows while sipping his beer, in what she described as an “act of mass murder.”

If only to keep him from doing it again, DHS requested he be turned over to immigration authorities. But according to liberals, ICE are the bad guys. Consequently,

“This monster set fire to a building and watched as innocent people, including a three-year-old, burned to death. New York City sanctuary politicians REFUSE to cooperate with ICE and are choosing to RELEASE this MURDERER onto New York streets,” DHS acting assistant secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.

At last word, he has not actually been released. He currently resides at Rikers Island (which Mamdani promises to close).

DHS said New York’s failure to honor ICE detainers has resulted in the release of 6,947 illegal immigrants from Jan. 20 to Dec. 1, who are accused of crimes including: 29 homicides, 2,509 assaults, 199 burglaries, 305 robberies, 392 dangerous drugs offenses, 300 weapons offenses and 207 sexual predatory offenses.

Many crimes could be avoided if Democrats would side with their own country against foreign invaders.

The Soros group, Fund for Policy Reform, pumped a whopping $50 million into his political cash guzzler Democracy PAC January 13, according to Federal Election Commission filings. …

As Forbes magazine contextualized April 16, Soros has once again positioned himself as the largest midterm election donor so far. …

The Soros regime had already come under enormous political and legal fire for funneling $80 million into pro-terrorism groups in the U.S. and abroad, but this hasn’t appeared to have been enough to force it underground.

It will be American patriots who are forced underground if Soros has his way. To quote him:

“Of course, what I do could be called meddling, because I want to promote an open society. An open society transcends national sovereignty.”

“Open society” is his preferred Orwellian euphemism for totalitarian leftism. The USA has no role in his globalism plans; thus it must be destroyed. The Democratic Party is the ideal tool for this purpose.

He who pays the piper calls the tune. To get an idea of the music Soros and his still creepier son Alex would make us listen to, consider that they have been driving up the rate of violent crime throughout the country by installing pro-criminal district attorneys. The apparent purpose is to cause destabilization, facilitating a takeover by those who oppose the American system of government.
