Nina “Marry Poppins” Jankowicz, the would-be director of the now-defunct Disinformation Governance Board, let the cat out of the bag, exposing disinformation studies as a ploy to promote Marxism. The Mary Poppins of disinformation appeared at a panel hosted by The 19th, a Marxist Critical Theory advocacy non-profit, on May 22. The subject of the panel was “Disinformation, Voter Registration, & Obstacles in Democracy.” Jankowicz’s comments during the panel were riddled with references to radical Critical Theory, a Marxist theory that sees all of society in terms of an eternal struggle between the marginalized and a group of entrenched privileged oppressors. She also revealed that her approach to “disinformation studies” is colored by these ideas. “[I]n addition to studying kind of the political side of disinformation, I also study gendered and sexualized disinformation,” said Jankowicz. Jankowicz claimed that people with protected intersectional identities were more likely to be targeted by disinformation campaigns. “We also found that if you were a person of intersectional identity–so if you happen to be a woman and gay or a woman who was black, et cetera–you were subjected to more compounded and vitriolic abuse,” said Jankowicz. “There are plenty of studies that also point to the fact that women who are running for office receive more vitriolic abuse and frankly, gender disinformation narratives, than the men they’re running against.” As an example of what constitutes a “gender disinformation narrative,” Jankowicz referred to common criticisms of Vice President Kamala Harris and her documented relationships with influential political characters like former California Speaker of the State Assembly Willie Brown. Jankowicz also claimed that negative criticism of female politicians was somehow part of a sinister plot to bar females from public life. “And the idea of gendered misinformation is to raise the cost of participation for women and marginalized communities,” Jankowicz said. “It is to keep us out of public life. Often it frequently targets our families.” Jankowicz also touted the claim that men are somehow insulated from scurrilous gossip in a way that women are not. “And frankly, you know, if you start a sexual rumor about a man, that tends to be kind of, oh, a chip off the old block, you know, a nice compliment for him,” Jankowicz said. “If you do the same thing about a woman, it can destroy her career. And we’ve seen that time and time again. These things haven’t gone away.” Jankowicz has been a major driver of censorship and conversations justifying censorship in the United States. For instance, last week Jancowicz was named in journalist Michael Shellenberger’s latest Twitter Files. Shellenberger revealed that Jankowicz was working with an anti-disinformation consulting firm, Alethea, that was advising Twitter on how to more effectively censor dissident voices. In addition, Jankowicz runs the American Sunlight Project, another pro-censorship advocacy organization.  Conservatives are under attack.

Republican congressional candidate Marty O'Donnell says that 10%-15% of the federal government could easily be cut without any repercussions for the American public.O'Donnell, who for the majority of his career composed music, is running for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. The musician spent years making jingles (Mr. Clean, Flintstones Chewable Vitamins) before composing the very celebrated soundtracks for massive video game franchises Halo and Destiny.The Halo franchise alone has sold over 81 million copies, according to Deadline.Running as a Republican, O'Donnell decided to forgo retirement after witnessing the turmoil the country has been in."I never really wanted to get into politics. ... I had never thought about it other than I used to tell my daughters that 'all of these bozos in Congress think that they have a career and think they should be there for the rest of their lives.'""I used to say that it should be Congress duty, and it felt like at this stage of my life I was being asked to put my money where my mouth is and see if I would agree to do Congress duty. So that's what I did," he told Blaze News exclusively.O'Donnell's platform boasts that he is a "middle-class champion" who sports traditional values.His campaign says that in order to ensure that children get the best start possible in life, people should "follow the science."By that O'Donnell means supporting the idea of a "two-parent" household."Values ... underpins everything: integrity, faith, fidelity, valor ... these are not just American values, they shouldn't be called family values, these are human values," he explained. "If people lose these values, you start to see society erode, and I think we're seeing that."'We should be able to cut the federal government by 10%-15% without damaging anything.' Your browser does not support the video tag. When asked about traditional family values, and with seemingly the opposite being taught in schools by way of gender ideology, O'Donnell said he doesn't want to see any legislation governing school curriculum put through the federal government."I'm a federalist. ... The federal government should stay out of it, 100%. I would be for getting rid of the Department of Education," O'Donnell said. He noted that such decisions should be made by parents and by local districts in the communities they serve. At the same time, O'Donnell does not support the idea of radical gender ideologies being taught to children.He does, however, support the idea that the federal government as a whole needs to be reduced and, in its current form, is flawed."The system is rigged; it can't help but grow," O'Donnell remarked. "The federal government is way too big, it's way too intrusive, it's regulating far too many things, it's taxing way too high.""All of this stuff needs to go in the other direction. It's not what the Founders intended."The Nevada candidate said that governments are incentivized to blow through their entire budget and not save the people any money."It's insane. It's totally insane," he added. O'Donnell also estimated that a large swath of the federal government could be eliminated without any penalty to the American taxpayer."We should be able to cut the federal government by 10%-15% without damaging anything." Your browser does not support the video tag. Regarding border security, O'Donnell said simply enforcing the existing laws would be a huge step in the right direction. Furthermore, reinstating policies put forth by President Trump, including "remain in Mexico," would provide relief from what President Biden has implemented.The 69-year-old's official position is that the border is an "epic failure," with millions of people coming across the border without accounting for "who they are, what they intend to do, or what or who they bring with them."Increased border security should also be applied, O'Donnell stated. This includes building the border wall where applicable, increased drone surveillance, and other high-tech policing of the border.Clarifying the laws surrounding refugee claims is also paramount to the Nevada candidate, who said the whole process has been "bastardized."This has involves organizations "teaching people from all over the world how to claim refugee status," he claimed.O'Donnell is running against Democrat Susie Lee, who has been in office since 2018. Republicans held the seat from 2010 to 2016.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

An illegal alien with multiple deportations to his name has been arrested in connection with approximately 50 pounds of methamphetamine seized in the Salt Lake City area.Last month, Fermin Castro Tovar, a 25-year-old Mexican national in the U.S. illegally, came on the radar of local law enforcement after he allegedly "delivered controlled substances" to a police source, a probable cause statement said. A GPS tracker was then surreptitiously placed on Tovar's vehicle, and officers quickly learned he made frequent visits to an apartment where he does not reside. Ksl.com and ABC4 mentioned nothing about his immigration status until the final paragraph of their respective stories.On Thursday, federal and local agents were issued three search warrants in connection with Tovar. This first warrant permitted them to search a storage unit, where agents allegedly discovered 25 lbs. of meth.As Tovar drove home from work that day, agents pulled him over and arrested him without incident.They then shared with Tovar that they had discovered meth at his storage unit. Rather than deny anything or demand a lawyer, he apparently became quite cooperative. Not only did he allegedly inform investigators that they would find another six pounds of meth at his main residence, prompting a second search warrant, but he even reportedly copped to his role in an international drug-running scheme.He acknowledged that he was "being coordinated and directed by a source of supply in Mexico," the arrest report said. "He admitted to distributing methamphetamine about two times a week in the Salt Lake County area."Tovar also allegedly admitted to investigators that the apartment he visits is yet another place to store meth. No one lives there, he said. Agents then got a third warrant to search the apartment, where they reportedly seized another 20 pounds of meth."Castro Tovar admitted having access to all three locations, and being responsible and temporary owner of all the methamphetamine seized. He was the person directly in contact with the sources of supply to pick up the methamphetamine and distribute it throughout the area," arresting documents said.Tovar was ultimately charged with three felony counts of second-degree distribution of a controlled substance and booked into Salt Lake City Jail, where is now held without bail. He is also considered a flight risk because he has family in Mexico and a "history of deportation," the Gephardt Daily reported, so ICE has issued an immigration detainer against him.Despite his previous deportations and the seriousness of the accusations against him, several media outlets have still seemingly buried the news about his legal status. A quick internet search revealed that at least three Utah outlets covered the Tovar story, and none of them mentioned his status in their headlines.In fact, Ksl.com and ABC4 mentioned nothing about his immigration status until the final paragraph of their respective stories. The Gephardt Daily, by contrast, made frequent references to Tovar's immigration status and noted that he speaks only Spanish. However, even the Daily referred to Tovar simply as a "northern Utah man" in its lede paragraph.Thomas Stevenson, the politics editor with the Post Millennial, called out Ksl.com for its framing of the Tovar story, accusing the outlet of "providing cover for Utah’s immigration policy failures." — (@) Like Blaze News?

NBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss told MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart former President Donald Trump will become a dictator should he win the 2024 election. Beschloss made his comments after a jury in New York City found Trump guilty of improper use of campaign money relating to his deal with Stormy Daniels. Trump has maintained his innocence and has said the charges and trial are politically motivated. 'Do you, Jonathan, think the majority of Americans will vote for dictatorship and anarchy? I don’t think so.' "We have a guilty verdict against the former president on 34 criminal counts while he is also running for president. There is no legal or political precedent for what we are witnessing. But how does this compare to other destabilizing moments in our history?” Capehart asked. “I think the choice is actually pretty clear. You know, we have got a convicted felon. But in days of yore, if a convicted felon had run let’s say for alderman, which, was probably about as high as he or she would have aspired until the last couple of decades, that person would have said, 'I served my time. I learned my lesson. I have remorse. There is going to be no one more zealous than I am in enforcing our legal system.' Instead, you and I saw that rant at the bottom of the brass elevator at Trump Tower yesterday by the presumed Republican nominee of this year," Beschloss explained."So when you have got someone who is promising at the same time to be dictator for a day, it will never be for a day, as you know. It will be for four years, if not for his lifetime if that begins," Beschloss continued. "At the same time, he is saying I’m going to dismantle our rule of law which is the glory of America, keeps the peace, assures fairness when it works for all Americans. You have got dictatorship and anarchy at the same time. Do you, Jonathan, think the majority of Americans will vote for dictatorship and anarchy? I don’t think so.”Capehart voiced his agreement with Beschloss' assessment. — (@) Online reaction to Beschloss' comments often include how Trump did not become a dictator during his first term in office.Like Blaze News?

Citizens' Movement, Pax Europa (BPE), is a German-based activist group that raises awareness about "the human rights violations caused by political Islam and about the existential threats that the increasing spread and influence of political Islam poses to free, democratic societies." BPE was preparing for an anti-jihad demonstration in the southwestern German town of Mannheim on Friday. Before the rally could begin in the supposed knife-free zone, an Afghan migrant armed with a hunting knife affirmed the activists' worst fears. Sulaiman Ataee, 25, left Afghanistan for Europe as a teen and has been living in Heppenheim, Hesse, with his wife and two children. "He was inconspicuous, we greeted each other normally," one neighbor told Bild. "But recently, about the last year, I noticed that he had changed. Before, he was helpful, then he suddenly became colder. He was suddenly more withdrawn. And also more aggressive." Ataee's guise of assimilation fully slipped Friday when he savagely attacked BPE activist and German politician Michael Stürzenberger, 54, along with four other demonstrators — ages 25, 36, and 42 — with a knife just before noon. A German police officer, identified by German media as Rouven L., rushed to intervene, reflexively tackling one of the anti-jihad activists. According to German authorities, after intervening, Rouven was "attacked by the suspect and stabbed several times in the head from behind." Graphic footage of the incident shows the bearded radical — whom Bild deemed a "fanatical Islamist" — sneak up on the officer who had tackled the BPE activist, then slit the officer's throat. Another cop responded just a moment too late, laying out the radical with a well-placed bullet. All of the victims were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Rouven underwent emergency surgery and was placed in an artificial coma. He ultimately succumbed to his injuries Sunday afternoon. The GoFundMe campaign for Rouven's family has raised over $409,737, despite initially only asking for around $22,000. BPE noted on Facebook that Stürzenberger survived a stab to the thigh, a stab to the leg right above the knee, an injury to the upper arm, and a "gaping open wound" in the side of his face, underscoring this was "what a single Afghan 'refugee' can do with a knife." The Islamic terrorist alternatively survived his shooting by police. State police raided Ataee's apartment Saturday and confiscated computers and storage devices. The Daily Mail reported that some neighbors indicated that the killer's wife disappeared before the raid and may have known what Ataee planned on doing. 'In major German cities we have a problem with certain young men with a migrant background who despise our state.' Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann told SWR News, "All our thoughts are with the family, relatives and colleagues. The pain of such a cruel loss out of nowhere is hard to measure." Interior Minister Nancy Faeser called for unity "against Islamist terror and for our free society." Faeser also stated, "If the investigations reveal an Islamist motive, this would be a further confirmation of the great danger posed by Islamist acts of violence." Blaze News previously reported that German and Dutch officials captured four Hamas terrorists in December believed to have been plotting an attack against "Jewish in Europe." Following Germany's annual migrant riot, Faeser said in January 2023, "Good politics must clearly state what is happening: In major German cities we have a problem with certain young men with a migrant background who despise our state, commit acts of violence and are hardly reached by education and integration programs." 'His death shows what hatred and incitement can do.' Mannheim Mayor Christian Specht said in a statement, "Political extremism has no place in our urban society." While the BPE activists were attacked along with the officer, Specht appeared to implicate them in Rouven's demise, stating, "His death shows what hatred and incitement can do." Despite his jab at the citizen victims, Specht reminded local radicals that "violence has no place in our city and must never play a role in political debate — no matter how opposing the positions may be." Specht also implored everyone to unite once again behind the mantra of "diversity" and to "avoid any division." "I am deeply saddened that the brave police officer succumbed to his serious injuries after the terrible attack in Mannheim," tweeted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Scholz said in a subsequent message, "The police officer killed in Mannheim defended the right of all of us to express our own opinions. If extremists want to restrict these rights by force, they must know that we are their toughest opponents. We will use all the means at our disposal under the rule of law." Scholz and other German politicians were barraged with criticism online for having created the environment and set the policies that would permit radicals to pour into the country from abroad. While establishmentarians were hounded for resuming their "diversity" mantra in the aftermath of another potentially avoidable terrorist attack, Islamic radicals celebrated the stabbings on social media. SWR News indicated Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister Thomas Strobl had to condemn a popular video on TikTok wherein radicals called for the murder of "all ex-Muslims and every critic of Islam." According to SWR News, one of the victims is a German-Kazakh citizen; another is an Iraqi citizen; and three others are Germans. Like Blaze News?

University of Bristol  A large fossil discovery has helped shed light on the history of dinosaurs in Wales.  Until recently, the land of the dragon didn't have any dinosaurs. However, in the last ten years, several dinosaurs have been reported, but their life conditions were not well known. In a new study by a team from the University of Bristol and published in Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, important details have been revealed for the first time.  Read moreSection: NewsHistory & ArchaeologyHistoryAncient TraditionsRead Later
