An interesting explanation of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) economies and what the future holds for them.
Lori Lightfoot becomes the first Chicago mayor in 40 years to lose re-election
It is of course too much to hope that Chicago might finally throw off the shackle of the Democrat Party Machine. There will be a runoff between two candidates… a Democrat and a far-left Democrat. So Chicagos future is not exactly secured, there’s just the chance that things might not suck quote so much. But things will still suck pretty bad in Chicago.
The President of the United States calls white people stupid and gets a room full of laughter.
All hail China’s wise socialist leadership! Had they been capitalists, this mine collapse in Mongolia a few days ago in “Alxa League” in China’s inner Mongolia region might have been bad. Fortunately, this strip mine, which was digging for green, clean, environmentally friendly coal, was run by communists and/or their hand-picked functionaries. So huzzah!
Note the gigantic dump trucks being tossed around like toys.

‘This is NOT this child’s fault. He is NOT a threat’: Mental health advocate launches defense of 6’6″ thug, 17, who had to be dragged off unconscious female teaching aide who he knocked out for confiscating his Nintendo Switch
Since when is a 17-year-old actually a “child?” Especially one who is six and a half feet tall and weighing 270 pounds?
Watch the video and determine for yourself whether he’s a threat. You want him in school with YOUR kids?
Every day I become more and more convinced that homeschooling, formerly the province of religious weirdos, is the answer for parents who don;t want to be complicit in child abuse.
Graphic video.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (in Florida) arrested a 17-year-old 6’6”, 270-pound student who was recorded severely beating a Matanzas High School aide on Feb. 21 after she confiscated his Nintendo Switch. He’s been charged with felony aggravated battery. pic.twitter.com/EuVpLvQcxb

The foreperson in the grand jury going after former President Trump in Georgia decided to give televised interviews. Since the grand jury’s job isn’t over, this has been described as, charitably, “unwise.” I’ve seen a lot of people on the right going off on this, especially her enthusiasm for wanting to swear in Trump. Honestly, though, it seems entirely understandable: who *wouldn’t* be excited about swearing in a former President, whether you were a fan or an opponent? And a lot of people on the left are going off on her as her shenanigans might endanger whatever case the prosecutors might have thought they had.
I really wish Emily Kohrs would just keep her mouth shut! Trumps Defense right now is drooling over these interviews. You dont talk about this now….If she wants to blabber..wait until AFTER an indictment at least. Total airhead! 😒 #GeorgiaGrandJury #EmilyKohrs. pic.twitter.com/aDlLkr06F9

That all said: this is a story *made* for mockery. Why? Because the foreperson in question is not just unwise and energetic… she’s apparently a witch. No, really, a witch-witch. Wicca and all that.
CONFIRMED❗️ The #Georgia grand jury forewoman , #EmilyKohrs , who laughed about bringing down President TRUMP is a witch. 😮
Many of her social media accounts have been deleted but her Pinterest page remains with collections of pins dedicated to Wicca and Witchcraft. 🧙♀️#GaPol pic.twitter.com/lQj0GWk0gQ

Well. Huh.
Death of shot Clinton aide with Epstein ties found tied to tree ruled suicide — despite no gun at scene
In May of 2022, Mark Middleton, aide to Bill Clinton who flew to Epsteins island an umber of times and signed Epstein into the White House to meet with Clinton a number of times, was found tied to a tree with an extension cord and a single gunshot wound to the chest… and no firearms nearby.
“Suicide.”
Muh-huh.
Fire breaks out at uranium processing facility in Tennessee
A fire broke out in a ventilating hood at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge. This was apparently not that big and was put out quickly, works has resumed. But come on, like we need *more* of this sort of thing? Even if not a speck of uranium oxide got out into the world, the mere *story* will be useful: not to America or Americans, but to those who mean America ill. This sort of thing will doubtless be used by those opposed to America having nuclear weapons and nuclear power.
Chance of success: probably zero. Chance of being a damned good idea: close to 100%.
‘New Illinois’ sets meetings to pursue forming new state
Details are few, but the idea seems to be for Illinois to secede from Cook County. Which would be *fantastic.* Either secede or kick Cook County out; either’s good. Illinois is a largely rural state absolutely dominated by a small nugget of urban blight. What the corrupt Chicago political machine wants, it gets, and damn the needs and wants of the rest of the state.
This would seem to be the website of the group:
newillinoisstate.org
I honestly just don’t see this happening; even if every single person outside of Cook County was on board with this, the existing Illinois state government wouldn’t be… and nor would the Congress of the US. So forming a whole new state by splitting up an existing one seems a non-starter. However, it might be more possible for counties or blocs of counties to split offand join other states… Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and so on. As far as Congress is concerned, that wouldn’t change things much… the number of Senators would remain, as would their party breakdowns; Representatives would largely remain, though many would change their state.
Huh.
The Constitutional Instructor
For the Use of Schools
From page 155:
Article the Second . — This provision is so plainly proper that its propriety need not be argued. It will be sufficient to contrast it with the practice of despotic governments, who, while they maintain large standing armies, at all times subservient to their pleasure, will not allow arms in the hands of the common people.
