A US tour without enough dates, a move away from the sound that got them signed, frequent line-up changes and never any money – just some of the things that went wrong for the band who once stood alongside The Nice and Van der Graaf Generator

The Democrat regime is selling off the remaining border wall for pennies on the dollar. People who bought the wall for $.03 to $.05 are offering it back to Donald Trump for hundreds of times more than Donald Trump paid. President Trump is asking Joe Biden to stop it and has asked Texas Attorney General […] The post People Buy Border Wall for $.03 & Offer It to Trump for Hundreds appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The White House has $3.5 billion in the budget to bring Palestinians, mostly Hamas supporters, to the United States. They seem to like getting people who hate us into the country. The Uniparty works together to process these radicals as refugees, but they now have a new 11th-hour demand to flood the country with them […] The post 8 Dems Call for Flooding the US with Non-Deportable Jihadists appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

An egregiously wrong Des Moines Register poll by formerly well-respected pollster J. Ann Selzer published three days before the presidential election has catalyzed President-elect Donald Trump to say enough is enough — and sue them. On November 2, the Register published Selzer’s poll, which came as a shock, as it showed Vice-President Kamala Harris with a three-point lead over Trump in a state Trump wound up winning by over 13 points. Within days after the election, Selzer abruptly retired. There were suspicions about the apparent leaking of the poll prior to its release. “Roughly 45 minutes prior to the poll’s public release, a stray tweet predicted the poll’s findings,” Semafor reported. “Its author said that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a Duke University alumnus, had mentioned the not-yet-released poll during a Duke Democrats meeting that day.” Selzer is about to drop Kamala +3 Source: Major campaign surrogate Not joking.

(@IllinoisLib) November 2, 2024 our goat makes sure we eat ?️ pic.twitter.com/uBH16bLlbq — Socialists For Pritzker (@PritzkerForPrez) November 3, 2024 The lawsuit, filed Monday night and also naming Gannett, the Register’s parent company, states it seeks “accountability for brazen election interference committed by” the Des Moines Register (DMR) and Selzer “in favor of now-defeated former Democrat candidate Kamala Harris through use of a leaked and manipulated Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll conducted by Selzer and S&C and published by DMR and Gannett in the Des Moines Register on Nov. 2, 2024,” Fox News reported. The lawsuit also states, “Contrary to reality and defying credulity, defendants’ Harris Poll was published three days before Election Day and purported to show Harris leading President Trump in Iowa by three points; President Trump ultimately won Iowa by over thirteen points.” It continues that the three-point Harris lead in “deep-red Iowa was not reality, it was election-interfering fiction.” Selzer had “prided herself on a mainstream reputation for accuracy despite several far less publicized egregious polling misses in favor of Democrats,” the lawsuit continued, and that Selzer “would have the public believe it was merely a coincidence that one of the worst polling misses of her career came just days before the most consequential election in memory, was leaked and happened to go against the Republican candidate.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE More from the lawsuit: The Harris Poll was no ‘miss’ but rather an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2024 Presidential Election … defendants and their cohorts in the Democrat Party hoped that the Harris Poll would create a false narrative of inevitability for Harris in the final week of the 2024 Presidential Election. … Instead, the November 5 election was a monumental victory for President Trump in both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote, an overwhelming mandate for his America First principles, and the consignment of the radical socialist agenda to the dustbin of history.  “Left-wing pollsters have attempted to influence electoral outcomes through manipulated polls that have unacceptable error rates and are not grounded in widely accepted polling methodologies,” the lawsuit contends. “While Selzer is not the only pollster to engage in this corrupt practice, she had a huge platform and following and, thus, a significant and impactful opportunity to deceive voters. As Selzer knows, this type of manipulation creates a narrative of inevitability for Democrat candidates, increases enthusiasm among Democrats, compels Republicans to divert campaign time and money to areas in which they are ahead, and deceives the public into believing that Democrat candidates are performing better than they really are.” Trump’s attorneys stated that voters were “badly deceived and misled as to the actual position of the respective candidates in the Iowa Presidential race. … Moreover, President Trump, the Trump 2024 Campaign, and other Republicans were forced to divert enormous campaign and financial resources to Iowa based on the deceptive Harris Poll.”

In his latest burst of missing the forest for the trees, California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom boasted of his government’s efficiency while ripping the incoming Trump administration, pontificating, “We’ve been working, I dunno, before DOGE was DOGE.” Newsom seemingly ignored that the purpose of DOGE is to reduce the cost of government to save taxpayers’ money. “I dunno, this is like a promo project,” he said mockingly of DOGE, then bragged, “We’ve been doing civil service reform in this state; we’ve been consolidating job classifications; we’ve been updating job descriptions in this state, and we waived those requirements. And in fact, I think it was in August, earlier, in August, we came up with your shop. We’re gonna double that next year. In fact, by 32,000; it’ll be 62,000 positions we will have eliminated those barriers and that requirement. I’ve always been a leader in that space.” California Governor Gavin Newsom refers to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s initiative DOGE as a “promo project.” ‘We’ve been working [on this] before DOGE was DOGE.” pic.twitter.com/8ACvGJNTsW — Yashar Ali ? (@yashar) December 16, 2024 The California Legislature’s Nonpartisan Fiscal and Policy Advisor stated, “The state has faced significant budget problems over the last two years—by our estimate, a $27 billion deficit in 2023‑23 and a $55 billion deficit in 2024‑25 (excluding early action taken this year). … Faster Than Normal Spending Growth Contributing to Deficits. One reason the state faces operating deficits is growth in spending. Our estimate of annual total spending growth across the forecast period—from 2025‑26 to 2028‑29—is 5.8 percent (6.3 percent excluding K‑14 education). By historical standards, this is high. … Spending Growth Driven by Past Program Expansions and Underlying Growth.” Last June, the AP reported that California had “an estimated $46.8 billion budget deficit,” adding that the surpluses Newsom bragged about in 2022 were the result of “hundreds of billions of dollars of federal COVID-19 aid and a progressive tax code that produced a windfall of revenue from the state’s wealthiest residents.” The AP added that the deficit in 2023 had been about $32 billion. The Tax Foundation’s 2025 State Tax Competitiveness Index states, “California‘s tax system ranks 48th overall on the 2025 State Tax Competitiveness Index. California combines high tax rates with an uncompetitive tax structure, yielding one of the worst rankings on the Index.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Newsom has also presided over the skyrocketing costs of homelessness. Last April, The Los Angeles Times noted: California has failed to adequately monitor the outcomes of its vast spending on homelessness programs, according to a state audit released Tuesday, raising questions about whether billions of dollars meant to thwart the crisis has been worth it as the number of people living unsheltered has soared. A new report from the California State Auditor’s Office found that a state council created to oversee the implementation of homelessness programs has not consistently tracked spending or the outcomes of those programs. In July, the Hoover Institution pointed out, “Since 2019, California has spent about $24 billion on homelessness.” According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the cost of building California’s largely unfinished high-speed rail line — of which Newsom bragged, “We’re making rail real in California” — was initially estimated at $33 billion and now has ballooned to over $100 billion.

The Christmas season is a time of love, generosity, and joy. But for one little girl, this holiday almost became the season of being, perhaps, just a bit too honest. While we do not know the exact details, what is clear is that this little girl was involved in a school Christmas show. Odds are, she and her classmates spent weeks in order to be ready for their show. For the most part, it seems that things have been running smoothly. So, when given the chance to talk on stage, this thoughtful little girl is quick to compliment her classmates. She notes that she is “proud” of them and that they are “sweet.” But that is not all she has to say… get a glimpse of the potential drama going on in this girl’s class in the video below. @imissnj ♬ original sound – Gena Mutone Jacobson When the girl shares that everyone in her class is “sweet,” her teacher thinks nothing of it. If anything, she’s probably feeling proud. But the moment the child adds that there is one little boy who is the exception, her teacher is quick to intervene. Best of all, though, even the girl herself is quick to accept that maybe she went a little far with that one. All of this to say, folks are absolutely loving the candor of this hilarious little girl! Adorable Little Girl Gets a Little Too Honest During Her School’s Christmas Show “The pauses for effect: ‘One… little… boy.’ Comedic timing for the win,” someone in the comment section of the viral video points out, with another adding, “‘I need to tell you….’ She was about to give us the tea.” A third person adds, “She walked off like ‘yeah, you right, simmer down self, simmer down.'” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

There have been some issues with the roll-out of artificial technology (AI) technology that we won’t address here. Today, we will tell you about everyone’s new favorite Grandma. Finally, a use for AI that almost no one will be complaining about. Grandma Daisy is being deployed to answer the phone and converse with scammers. The human-like Grandma Daisy is so realistic that a phone scammer can’t tell she is not real. This allows Grandma Daisy to occupy the fraudsters for large swaths of time. For the average person, this means that the longer she talks with them, the fewer calls these scammers will make to you! Daisy has one primary goal — to waste a phone scammer’s time. Virgin Media O2, a British telecom company, introduced her to the world last week. She has her own phone number, which is in databases the scammers frequently use. The AI Grandma has secondary goals: to frustrate and annoy a phone scammer by keeping them on the phone as long as possible. Image from YouTube. Daisy’s training comes from software engineer and YouTuber Jim Browning. Jim works online to expose scammers and has 4.4 million subscribers. Jim’s experience in “scambaiting” provides much of Grandma Daisy’s ability to occupy phone scammers for an average of 40 minutes per call. At that point, the scammers usually get frustrated and hang up. Grandma Daisy Collects Info From Phone Scammers A benefit of Grandma Daisy’s programming is that she records conversations. This will help anti-scammer groups inform potential victims of scammers’ tactics and tricks. She also collects and forwards valuable information to law enforcement agencies. Her “job title” is Head of Scammer Relations. They have programmed Grandma Daisy as a senior citizen because the elderly are favorite targets of phone scammers. While there are human operators who perform this function, Grandma Daisy can “man” her phone 24 hours a day without potty breaks. She will happily chat away, without mentioning any pertinent information, for as long as possible. She adds lovely tales about her cat, Fluffy, her fondness for knitting, and random chit-chat to distract the scammers. Image from YouTube. Her voice is based on a staff member’s real Grandma to increase believability. Unlike earlier AI models, Grandma Daisy does not sound robotic, and her sweet voice will melt the icy hearts of the best phone scammer. Her speech patterns are typical for an elderly person, using a regional accent and dialect with no funky word pronunciations. The roll-out of this innovative Grandma who deters phone scammers is brilliant. She has “all the time in the world” and is a perfect “patsy.” She appears naive and gullible, and scammers are persistent. Please share to introduce Grandma Daisy to everyone.
