In one sense‚ the 2024 election cycle has been exceptionally exciting. The leading Republican candidate has been indicted on a total of 91 felony counts and somehow has still run one of the most successful primary campaigns in American history. One of those indictments has devolved into a comical exposé of Democrat corruption. Meanwhile‚ the incumbent comes across to most Americans as a senile grandpa with major memory problems. READ MORE: Engoron Goes Medieval on Trump In another sense‚ the 2024 election cycle has been exceptionally predictable and uninteresting. Take‚ for instance‚ last night’s primary in Michigan. Former President Donald Trump swept the Republican vote by a large margin (he won 69 percent of the vote)‚ and it became once again clear that Nikki Haley should stop wasting donor money and bow out (although she claims she won’t until after Tuesday’s voting at the earliest). Furthermore‚ Trump managed to lead Haley across the state (including in Detroit and Grand Rapids) and was neck-and-neck with her in Ann Arbor. Of course‚ the fact that Haley’s best was in Ann Arbor wasn’t surprising either. The city is easily one of the most left-leaning university towns in the state‚ and Haley tends to do well with independents and liberal-leaning Republicans. It’s a miracle if you managed to make it this far into this piece without your eyes glazing over. Frankly‚ this primary election stuff feels like a charade. Any American with two brain cells and a modicum of common sense could have told you in February of last year where we would be today. At this point‚ most Americans aren’t paying attention — and I‚ for one‚ certainly don’t blame them. (READ MORE: We Are the Conservatives (An Alternative Rhetoric for CPAC)) There are likely several reasons Americans seem to be losing interest in politics. One of them is that four years ago‚ in late February‚ we were all about to be locked away in our homes for months glued to daily updates coming from Anthony Fauci. Compared to the COVID-19 pandemic‚ which impacted every American’s daily life for months‚ the news cycle in 2024 has been strikingly irrelevant (although it does explain why we’re all paying more for food than we were a year ago). Unless the apocalypse happens‚ or the government starts conscripting men and women to fight in World War III‚ most people will likely continue to ignore politics. Another reason could be a sense of defeated fatalism coupled with depressive realism. The news cycle is bad‚ and watching it begets only depression‚ not change. (READ MORE from the Spectator P.M.: Why Are We Having Less Sex?) The more I think about this issue‚ the more I realize that the problem (at least for the media) is this: Simple novelty begets interest. If Americans don’t feel as though there is anything novel happening due to a lack of connection or understanding‚ they’re unlikely to be at all interested in what is going on.

Last week‚ the Justice Department released charges against Japanese criminal syndicate Yakuza leader Takeshi Ebisawa‚ who was caught in a Drug Enforcement Administration sting attempting to sell weapons-grade plutonium to Iran. In the midst of the Gaza war‚ which has seen tensions with Tehran continue to rise‚ nuclear trafficking almost entered the already hostile situation for American troops in the Middle East. READ MORE: Iran Is Using Drug Money to Fund Terrorism. We Can Fix That. Ebisawa and Thai national Somphop Singhasiri‚ previously charged with gunrunning and drug trafficking across international boundaries in 2022‚ first got caught up in the nuclear sting in 2020 when Ebisawa contacted DEA operatives known only as UC-1 and CS-1. He offered to sell significant portions of nuclear material‚ showing photographs of Geiger counters measuring a rock-like substance as evidence. In response‚ UC-1 offered to broker a deal with an “Iranian general” who was actually a DEA agent‚ reports the DOJ. Claiming to work on behalf of one of the rebel armies currently fighting Myanmar’s military junta‚ Ebisawa added a wish list of weapons the rebels wanted in exchange for almost 4‚500 pounds of thorium and over 200 pounds of a concentrated uranium powder called “yellowcake.” Ebisawa’s unnamed co-conspirators said the total amount of nuclear material available was over five tons. As the talks continued‚ Ebisawa and UC-1 met on the Thai island of Phuket‚ where the DEA agent was shown a substance alleged to be yellowcake‚ reports Radio Free Asia. Following the meeting‚ Thai authorities raided a Bangkok office where Ebisawa had deposited the radioactive materials‚ which were then sent to the U.S. for analysis. American officials confirmed Ebisawa’s claims that the nuclear materials truly were weapons-grade. How exactly the Myanmar rebels first obtained weapons-grade nuclear material remains unclear. The Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun reports that they had been mining it in their territory. According to nuclear watchdog NTI‚ Myanmar has five uranium mines that could have sourced the material‚ though only one has higher than low-grade ore. Though none of those five mines are located in his territory‚ Yawd Serk‚ leader of the ethnic rebels in the Shan state of Myanmar‚ has been accused of sourcing Ebisawa’s uranium. While he admitted this week that foreigners have asked about obtaining uranium‚ he denied ever selling any. Regardless of the materials’ origin‚ the Yakuza has proven itself willing to sell it to Iran. When asked by the undercover DEA agent if the material for Iran was weapons-grade‚ Ebisawa answered‚ “I think so and I hope so.” “This is an extraordinary example of the depravity of drug traffickers who operate with total disregard for human life‚” DEA administrator Anne Milgram said. “I commend the men and women of DEA and this prosecution team for their tireless work to protect us from such evil.

After allowing tens of millions of unchecked illegal aliens into America‚ Biden now insists "public safety and crime reduction is a top priority." Joe Biden announced plans to ban “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines as part of his plan for a “safer America” amid the growing illegal alien crime crisis plaguing the country as a result of his open border policies. Biden is facing political pressure in the wake of crime rising in Democrat-run “sanctuary cities” since his open-border migrant invasion began in 2021. After noting that blue cities have been slashing law enforcement resources stemming from the left’s “Defund the Police” movement after the death of George Floyd in 2020‚ Biden touted his “Safer America Agenda” and called for more gun control. Biden says city budgets "were strained as they faced deep cuts in law enforcement and public safety" during the pandemic.(That's because Democrats were pushing to DEFUND THE POLICE) pic.twitter.com/n1XQVPmpfW— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) February 28‚ 2024 “Public safety and crime reduction is a top priority for my administration and for me‚” Biden said at a White House press conference on Wednesday.Winter Sun Plus is NOW 40% off!

Congress should enact universal background checks‚ require safe storage of firearms‚ and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. It should pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to advance accountability‚ transparency‚ and public trust in law enforcement. Building public trust advances public safety. And it should pass the Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigations Methods (VICTIM) Act to help communities solve murders and violent gun crimes as well as support victims. Biden ended his remarks without taking questions from the press‚ instead having his handlers wrangle them out of the room. Biden’s speech comes amid heightened public concern over the tens of millions of illegal aliens who’ve entered the country since he captured the White House‚ most recently highlighted by the alleged murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley by a Venezuelan national. This also comes as several other illegal aliens were arrested for raping and murdering women and children just in the last several days alone: RELATED: Salvadoran Illegal Ordered Deported In 2022 Arrested for Murder of 2-Year-Old in Maryland ‘Sanctuary’ County RELATED: Honduran Illegal Arrested for Raping 14-Year-Old Girl at Knifepoint‚ Stabbing Man During Robbery In Louisiana RELATED: Illegal Alien Arrested for Rape in Conservative Florida Town Watch Biden’s full remarks: Follow Jamie White on X | Truth | Gab | Gettr | Minds
