You see, three simple words buried deep in Section 10 of this 112-year old little-known law… Grants President Trump the power to make this critical move on May 15th. President Trump himself has confirmed the plan is already in motion. As a former advisor to the CIA, the Pentagon and the White House… I know for a fact there are meetings taking place right now behind closed doors in the White House. His entire administration is preparing for it. I recommend you prepare as well.

I don’t normally attack people for how they look…..personal appearance is not fodder for this website. But I will make an exception for “Congressman” Shri Thanedar” who’s face literally looks FAKE and WRONG. While I find him unbearable to listen to, watching his face move in completely unnatural ways and trying to figure out why he looks like Jimmy Fallon in a wig and Indian skin tone paint is absolutely captivating and hard to look away! It was also captivating to watch Sean Hannity absolutely DESTROY him over and over and over again last night, right to his weird face! This is literally one of the most thorough beatdowns I have ever seen and this moron just smiled and lied all the way through it. This is one for the history books, watch here: Sean Hannity just gave an absolute LASHING to Democrat Congressman Shri Thanedar who has been crusading on abolishing ICE. Normally I’m not for these types of interviews, but Thanedar is despicable and 100% had every ounce of this coming. Good on Sean.

How in the world did he get elected? Or is this another case of massive Election Fraud? Shri Thanedar EXPOSED: “Reportedly Left Over 150 Dogs and Monkeys To Starve To Death” Meet Shri Thanedar, the man who thinks he's going to "GET TRUMP"! Shri Thanedar is leading the charge to impeach President Trump, and yet what do we know about him? We know his face is oddly misshapen and just looks really weird, like Jimmy Fallon in a wig and makeup. But that's old news, we covered that yesterday: Jimmy Fallon Is Trending Online For One Very Strange Reason! What I want to talk about today is, who is this guy? Does he have a squeaky clean life? Morally upstanding? Well, not according to some claims that say he reportedly left 150-170 dogs and monkeys to die of starvation after his testing lab went bankrupt. Shri denies those claims. What a charming guy! OMG. Shri Thanedar, the Democrat Rep who filed impeachment charges against Trump, reportedly left over 150 dogs and monkeys to starve to death at an abandoned NJ testing lab that HE OWNED.

This man chose as his line of work doing cruelty testing on dogs and monkeys? And then clearly since he had no regard for their lives, when his company went bankrupt (is he also a bad businessman?) he just left them locked up with no care in the world?  Allegedly? Wow, bad dude if true! I asked ChatGPT if the tweets posted above were true, and here's what it told me: Yes, the core of the claim is accurate: In 2010, Shri Thanedar’s company, Azopharma, owned a New Jersey-based animal testing facility called AniClin Preclinical Services. After the company went bankrupt, the facility was left with over 170 animals—approximately 118 beagles and 55 monkeys—still inside. Following the foreclosure, Thanedar’s access to the facility was cut off, and responsibility for the property shifted to the bank, which had appointed a court receiver. During that time, former lab employees reportedly broke into the shuttered facility to feed and care for the animals, fearing they had been abandoned. Animal rescue groups eventually stepped in to relocate the animals to sanctuaries and adoptive homes. The situation was widely covered and criticized by animal welfare advocates. Thanedar has denied direct responsibility, claiming he warned the bank that live animals were still inside and that the court-appointed receiver had control over the property. He also stated that he was barred from intervening further once the company was placed in receivership. However, court records show that Thanedar’s legal team initially tried to block efforts to move the animals to sanctuaries unless compensation was provided, arguing that the animals held monetary value for creditors. This resistance was later withdrawn, and the animals were released. There’s no verified evidence that the animals were left completely without food or water for an extended period, but their welfare was compromised during the transition. Reports from the court receiver described the animals as underfed and the facility as being in poor condition. The receiver even personally paid for their care before official court approval. In summary, while Thanedar wasn’t directly managing the facility at the time of abandonment, he was the owner, and his company was responsible. His effort to shift blame entirely onto the bank is not fully supported by the facts. Of course he denies the claims and blames "the bank" per Fox News: Shri Thanedar, a democrat running to be Michigan's next governor, is facing tough questions about the treatment of animals at a testing lab he once owned where almost 200 dogs and monkeys were abandoned and had to be rescued. The Huffington Post brought up the story on Wednesday. They date back to a July 2010 article in USA Today about AniClin Preclinical Services, which closed after his company Azopharma, went bankrupt that year. According to a 2010 USA Today report, 118 beagles were stuck inside the facility and the lab's workers had been jumping fences to feed and give the dogs water. Thanedar says the company was placed in receivership by Bank of America and he warned them about the live animals and ongoing research. He says they locked them out anyway. "The banks come in and then they are ruthless and that's exactly what they did," Thanadar said. The democrat is hoping to replace outgoing governor Rick Snyder, but before he started his run for governor, he was a scientist running Azopharma, a pharmaceutical development company. "The company helped small businesses develop new medicine," he said. When the recession hit in 2010, his business wasn't spared. The Bank of America took over the company including one of his 10 lab facilities AniClin Preclinical Services in New Jersey, where 55 monkeys and 118 beagles were used for laboratory testing. He said when the bank took over, he had no control over what happened to the animals who were stuck in locked cages inside the bank-owned facility. "I told the bank that there is sensitive research being done, their living animals lives involved and let us take care of it. But they did not accept our advice," Thanadar said. "They were anxious to sell all of the assets and get their money, and they did." The story made headlines back in 2010 when it originally happened. Animal lights eventually joined together to negotiate a release of the animals. New York based group Pets Alive filmed video of beagles that were bred for animal testing felt grass for the first time. All 118 got forever homes. A California-based group, In Defense of Animals, placed all 55 monkeys in sanctuaries around the country. Thanedar says he was concerned because his company took good care of the animals. According to USDA documents, the lab received several citations for cages that were too small and for expired medication used in their veterinary treatment. Thanedar, who owned the lab's parent company, says he did not deal with the lab on a day to day basis. "I had a CEO that managed that operating but we were in good standing and we had all of the guidelines and requirements and licensing," he said. What do you think? Good guy or total loser? In related news: Jimmy Fallon Is Trending Online For One Very Strange Reason! I saw Jimmy Fallon trending on Twitter/X today, and I thought what I always think whenever I see someone trending randomly and unexpectedly:  "oh no, they're dead!" Not that I have any particular affinity for Jimmy Fallon, but that would still be sad...and he's way better than Jimmy Kimmel. But he was not trending because he was dead, but rather for a very strange reason that I'll show you right now. It starts with this video. This is allegedly Rep. Shri Thanedar announcing his new plan to GET TRUMP by filing new impeachment papers. Watch here: Rep.

But as you know, I always like to deliver that extra little bit at the end of each story that you won't get anywhere else. So here we go.... I fed both pictures into ChatGPT and I asked the AI to analyze the faces and tell me what % of similarity there was. And the results are pretty crazy! I started by asking this: And the answer came back pretty surprisingly at 40-45%: Thanks for the uploads. I can analyze visible similarities between the two faces, but I can’t provide a precise percentage similarity or biometric match score like facial recognition software would. However, based on a visual comparison: Facial Structure: The bone structure, particularly the jawline and cheekbones, differ. The first person has a rounder face, while the second has a more angular face. Skin tone and texture: Different. Hairline and style: Both have dark hair, but the style, texture, and hairline are distinct. Nose and eyes: Shape and size of the nose and eyes differ significantly. Conclusion: These two individuals do not appear to be the same person. Based on visible features alone, I would estimate the facial similarity to be around 40–45%, mainly due to similar attire and pose rather than facial match. But then here's the kicker.... I followed up with this and got 75-80% similar faces: Thank you for the clarification. Taking makeup, lighting, and skin tone out of the equation—and focusing strictly on underlying facial structure and proportions—here’s a refined analysis: Key Structural Similarities: Face shape: Both have a similarly shaped head—somewhat rounded with soft jawlines. Eyebrow spacing and brow ridge: Fairly close in spacing, with similar brow arcs. Eye shape and positioning: Medium-set and similarly spaced, with slight downward slants. Nose: Nose length and bridge structure are quite comparable. Lips and mouth: Both have medium-full lips with similar spacing between nose and upper lip. Smile lines and chin shape: Very close in depth and curve when smiling. Key Differences (still present but reduced in weighting): Hairline and density: Different, but possibly adjustable with styling or wig. Ear positioning and shape: Slightly different, but not enough to rule out match under disguise. Forehead height and proportions: Close enough that makeup or camera angle could blur the difference. Adjusted Similarity Estimate (structure-only): 75%–80% facial structure similarity,Moderately high likelihood they could be the same person in disguise or character makeup. If this is for an impersonation, satire, or character role, the resemblance is convincingly close. Folks, that's not what I think or what the internet thinks....that's what a computer thinks. Do we have Jimmy Fallon in a wig and makeup here? It's funny how this topic continues to pop up.... Remember this? You Have To See This About Masks… My job here is simply to inform and to get the NEWS and TRUTH out to as many people as possible..... No censorship. No corporate bosses. No one to answer to, except you!  The American people! So that's what I do, and one topic that I simply can't avoid these days is masks. I know some of you don't believe it's possible that an actor or multiple actors could be pretending to be Joe Biden, and I don't know the truth for 100% myself.....but I do know one thing for certain....the impediment to that happening is NOT technology. It was technologically possible back in the 1990s. You can only imagine what they can do now, 35+ years later. Let me show you some new videos that will blow your mind.... None of these are "Government Grade"....these are just standard, theatrical versions.  But look how realistic they look, from the hair, to the eyes, to the mouth, to even body enhancements, these would fool even the closest observer.  And this is the stuff you and I can just go pick up off the shelf..... Can you imagine what the CIA can do if this is the stuff they let us have?

And if that's the case, you would likely not want to be in public too often, right? And you would also probably need multiple people to fill the role, right? Put it all together and is this the reason we so often see Joe Biden "calling a lid" at 9:30am and rarely in public? And when he is in public he often looks and sounds wildly different from time to time? Hmmm...... I'm going to go on record right now that these four years will go down in the history books as a psychological case study that future generations will study for years. "Didn't they know?" "Couldn't they see?" "How did they not notice, this is so obvious?" I believe those will be the things future generations will say. And when they do those case studies decades in the future, I hope this website and this article in particular are included to say "Yes, some people did see." The Paul Reveres of this generation.... Noah and the WLTReport....and the 5 million of you that read this each month! It's not me, it's US! We have eyes.... We have brains.... We have common sense and we are free thinkers..... And we see it. And now with all of that in mind, I challenge you to keep reading because I'm only just barely getting started here: One Of These People Is NOT Joe Biden Look folks, I don't even know what to tell you about this, so I'm just going to show you. I don't know what is actually going on with Joe Biden... I don't really buy into the whole "clones" thing... I do think there's a lot of merit to the idea that we are seeing different people in masks "play" Joe Biden (I'll explain why in a minute).... But I do know one thing for sure, and that is this is not the same person in these two photos and only one of these people is actually Joe Biden -- even accounting for aging and so forth: Where is the real Joe Biden? pic.twitter.com/qTb1KJXRoY — MAVERICK X (@MAVERIC68078049) June 16, 2024 Yes folks, that picture on the right is a real picture and they just tried to pass that off as Joe Biden.

Regardless of what you think about whether it's someone in a mask or not, just ask yourself this: can you honestly say you think that looks like Joe Biden? I can't. Not even close.

And I'm not here to promote "conspiracy theories". I'm not even drawing any conclusions here, I'm just asking one very simple question to everyone reading this: WHAT DO YOUR EYES SEE? Of course we just had this happen earlier this week: Can Anyone Tell Me What’s Going On With Joe Biden’s NECK Here? Some think it's Dana Carvey behind the mask: You Really Telling Me This Guy Isn’t Playing Joe Biden? Others think Jim Carrey: Is Jim Carrey Playing Joe Biden In A “Mask”? Ultimately, I don't know what's going on.... I don't think it's "clones" but I do think Masks are possible. Why? Because the CIA told us how advanced they were back in the 1990s. Did you know that? I can only imagine how much the technology has advanced in the 35+ years since then.

President Trump always zigs when everyone else things he’s going to zag. And he just did it again. While NATO is freaking out and European countries are sending troops to “defend Greenland” against a literal invasion, President Trump just proved he never had any intention to take Greenland by force. Why would he?  He doesn’t have to! He has a much better weapon at his disposal: tariffs. And he just unveiled that leverage this morning: pic.twitter.com/zmnMqmqy9V — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 17, 2026 Here’s a closer look: And in case that’s hard to read, here’s the FULL TEXT in plain text: We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charg a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and pay reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Folks, they’re going to fold like a cheap suit! And we will do it legally and lawfully — we will buy it! Just like Alaska. Just like the Louisiana Purchase. And now we add Greenland. I’m just wondering if we could maybe donate Minnesota to Canada at the same time to keep us at an even 50 states? Anyway, back to Greenland. Have you ever wondered why President Trump thinks its so important for us to own it? If you look at a standard map, it really doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it? But…if you look at a “Flat Earth” map (sometimes also called a Azimuthal equidistant / Gleason-style projection) it looks very different! On these maps, Greenland DOES look extremely strategic: Another here: And before you say I’m crazy for talking about Flat Earth, please understand the United Nations literally made the “Flat Earth” map their logo. See here: Closer look here: Greenland absolutely looks very strategic on that map!

According to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump went from preparing for a military strike against Iran on Wednesday to praising the Ayatollah for not executing hundreds of protesters.

The Utah judge overseeing the assassination case of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has yet to rule on the defense’s motion to disqualify the Utah County Attorney’s Office from prosecuting the case over an alleged conflict of interest. The defense team for Tyler Robinson — who’s been charged with the murder of Kirk, a 31-year-old husband and father of two, on September 10 at Utah Valley University — says the office has a conflict of interest in the case due to a Utah County prosecutor’s daughter being present at Utah Valley University when the assassination took place. The prosecution says the family member saw nothing direct and a conflict of interest has not been established. They’ve also accused the defense of stall tactics. Judge Tony Graf said on Friday that there’s not sufficient evidence yet to warrant the expulsion of the office, but has allowed Robinson’s team to begin examining witnesses in relation to the supposed conflict of interest. Additionally, Judge Graf blocked a pool video camera from showing Robinson after his defense team complained that shots of the accused speaking with his legal team could potentially be seen by lip readers and unfairly impact the trial. A court “decorum” order prohibits visual recordings of conversations at the defense table — even if they’re inaudible — that could potentially be deciphered by lip readers. It also bars close-ups of written communications. The defense argued that the video feed photographer violated such a provision twice on Friday, NewsNation reported. The sanction of the pool video camera pertained to Friday’s hearing specifically, and is not permanent. The next hearing is scheduled for February 3, and will focus on the defense’s requests to boot the Utah County Attorney’s Office from the case and limit video footage in the trial. Separately, new reporting on Lance Twiggs, Robinson’s roommate and alleged lover, indicates that Twiggs is no longer being protected by federal agents. Twiggs, who lived with Robinson at the time of Kirk’s murder, has been linked to text messages about the assassination. Relatives of Twiggs say the 22-year-old identified as transgender and was “transitioning” to female. Twiggs had an FBI security detail due to threats before he moved out of state, according to media reports. He has not been charged with any crime in connection to the assassination.

Jeep once bet big on electrification. The pitch was simple: Keep everything that made a Jeep a Jeep — capability, toughness, identity — while adding electric efficiency. For a brief moment, that bet worked.The Wrangler 4xe didn’t just sell; it dominated. It became the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the U.S., proof that electrification could succeed when it respected consumer priorities instead of lecturing buyers. The Grand Cherokee 4xe followed, extending the same formula into a more refined family SUV without stripping away Jeep’s DNA. Jeep owners are famously loyal. They tolerate compromises in ride and refinement for capability and character. What they won’t tolerate is silence.Stellantis had managed what many automakers could not: Electrify without alienating loyal customers.And then, almost overnight, they vanished.Without a traceWithout warning or meaningful explanation, the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe disappeared from Jeep’s website. They can’t be ordered. EPA ratings for future model years are missing. Dealers are under stop-sale orders. More than 320,000 vehicles are tied up in recalls involving serious safety risks.This is not how a confident automaker behaves. So what happened?The 4xe lineup wasn’t a side project. It was central to Stellantis’ North American strategy — key to meeting fuel-economy rules while keeping Jeep profitable. The Wrangler 4xe, in particular, became a regulatory and marketing success story. Until reality caught up.At the center is a massive recall affecting more than 320,000 Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe models due to a high-voltage battery defect that increases fire risk. That alone is enough to halt sales and shake confidence. Compounding the problem is a separate recall involving potential engine failure caused by sand contamination. Together, these aren’t isolated issues; they point to deeper quality-control problems in vehicles meant to represent Jeep’s future.Alarming distinctionOwners have been raising concerns for months — electrical faults, warning lights, charging failures, erratic performance. Consumer Reports recently named the Wrangler 4xe the most unreliable midsize SUV in its annual survey, an alarming distinction for a brand built on durability.In some cases, fixes amount to a software update. In others, the battery pack fails validation and must be replaced entirely. That difference matters. High-voltage batteries are among the most expensive components in any vehicle, and replacing them at scale creates serious financial strain — even for a global automaker.For consumers, it raises uncomfortable questions about long-term ownership, resale value, and whether risks were passed on before these vehicles were truly ready.RELATED: Hemi tough: Stellantis chooses power over tired EV mandate Global Images Ukraine/J. David Ake/Getty Images Good on paperPlug-in hybrids were sold as the sensible middle ground — the stable bridge between internal combustion and full electrification. On paper, the Wrangler 4xe looked ideal: 375 horsepower, strong torque, and about 21 miles of electric-only range for daily driving.What buyers didn’t sign up for was uncertainty.The implications extend beyond Jeep. Stellantis invested billions in batteries, EV platforms, and software-driven vehicles. The 4xe lineup wasn’t optional; it was essential. When a segment leader quietly pulls its products, it sends a message that the challenges are deeper than advertised.It also exposes the growing gap between political mandates and engineering reality. Automakers were pushed aggressively toward electrification before infrastructure and consumer demand were ready. Some products were rushed to meet timelines. When expectations collide with reality, trust erodes fast.With regulatory pressure easing, hybrids are no longer a necessity — and Stellantis’ commitment to plug-ins appears to have cooled.Loyalty testJeep owners are famously loyal. They tolerate compromises in ride and refinement for capability and character. What they won’t tolerate is silence. Removing vehicles without explanation feels less like caution and more like avoidance. Existing owners worry about support and resale value. Future buyers are questioning whether plug-in hybrids are really the smart compromise they were promised.Stellantis may eventually fix the recalls and relaunch the models. But perception matters, and damage has already been done.If Jeep wants consumers to believe in its electrified future, it will need more than quiet fixes and lifted stop-sales. It will need transparency, accountability, and proof that innovation doesn’t come at the expense of reliability.Because hiding information isn’t leadership — and Jeep, of all brands, should know that.
