I never could have imagined the USA could fall so far, so fast. But it has. In less than four years under the Biden Regime, and in states coupled with a Far-Left Democrat Governor like Commiefornia, things have gone down fast.  Very fast. We’re talking Third World Country stuff! True “Shithole” conditions, and I don’t use that word lightly….I use that word as the only accurate descriptor their is. I use language very precisely. Another word for it is “BidenVilles”. Have you heard that term? I first wrote about it a few months ago: They’re Calling Them “Bidenvilles”….Let Me Explain A BidenVille stems from HooverVilles....do you remember those? Many might not be old enough to remember them and surely schools don't teach information like that. So it's largely forgotten. But if you don't study history you are doomed to repeat it -- and repeat it we are.  So I am getting the word out and informing and educating. Simply put, "Hoovervilles" were shantytowns named sarcastically after President Herbert Hoover, who was in office during the onset of the Great Depression in the late 1920s and early 1930s. They sprang up around the United States as a dire symbol of the economic desperation faced by thousands of Americans. The name "Hooverville" itself became a biting comment on what many saw as Hoover's failure to effectively address the economic collapse. The living conditions in Hoovervilles were incredibly harsh. These makeshift settlements were often built from scavenged materials like cardboard, tarpaper, glass, lumber, tin, and whatever else people could find. They lacked proper sanitation, running water, and electricity. Ok, now with that in mind I want you to take a look at what it looks like to live in Oakland, California right now and as you watch this video I want you to tell me if it resembles the description above: SHOCKING! New massive Bidenville (or is that a GavinVille?) built in California. True Shithole stuff. Shocking footage has emerged showing a gigantic 'shantytown' that has sprung up in Oakland, as the California city's slide into crime-ravaged squalor continues. pic.twitter.com/XtAkVMlEKQ — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) June 2, 2024 Wow, right? So what's the proper term for this? HooverVilles? BidenVilles? GavinVilles? All of the above? Just a plain, old ShitHole? More here: Parts of Oakland are worse than a third world country. They just allow people to live in absolute squalor, wherever they choose. This looks like Hooverville during the great depression. Welcome to Oakland’s very own Gavinville. pic.twitter.com/L58uK2E6Sh — Michael Oxford - AKA The Santa Cruz Mountain Goat (@SCMountainGoat) June 1, 2024 How sad to see a once great and beautiful state so thoroughly ruined. MORE: They're Calling Them "Bidenvilles"....Let Me Explain Have you ever heard of "Hoovervilles"? If you're over a certain age, you might have lived through it. Otherwise, if you're a history buff you might know about them. For everyone else, I'll be your Professor Noah and class is in session! Hoovervilles looked like this and they sprang up all over town because of how horrible the economy was under President Herbert Hoover: These were once called Hoovervilles. After this coming week, they will be called Bidenvilles. The Biden depression is upon us. pic.twitter.com/racAHMyTLw — Chris Plante Show (@ChrisPlanteShow) March 13, 2023 Here's more (courtesy of ChatGPT): "Hoovervilles" were shantytowns named sarcastically after President Herbert Hoover, who was in office during the onset of the Great Depression in the late 1920s and early 1930s. They sprang up around the United States as a dire symbol of the economic desperation faced by thousands of Americans. The name "Hooverville" itself became a biting comment on what many saw as Hoover's failure to effectively address the economic collapse. The living conditions in Hoovervilles were incredibly harsh. These makeshift settlements were often built from scavenged materials like cardboard, tarpaper, glass, lumber, tin, and whatever else people could find. They lacked proper sanitation, running water, and electricity. Diseases spread quickly in such cramped and unsanitary conditions, and with little access to healthcare, residents suffered greatly. Malnutrition was rampant due to widespread unemployment and poverty. Security was minimal, leading to high rates of crime as people became desperate to survive. Essentially, Hoovervilles were grim manifestations of the failure of the economy and government support systems. But now let's compare to what the world looks like under Biden. And because I don't want to just TELL YOU what to think, and because a picture is worth a thousand words....I ask you, are we repeating history? Do "Bidenvilles" look eerily similar to Hoovervilles? You be the judge: Here's more, from the Washington Times: When people couldn’t afford housing during the Great Depression, they built shantytowns from scrap construction supplies and named them “Hoovervilles,” after President Herbert Hoover. Today, Americans increasingly live out of their cars because they can’t afford housing. If history is any guide, will parking lots full of Americans soon be known as “Bidenvilles”? The problem has gotten so bad that Sedona, Arizona, recently set aside a parking lot exclusively for these homeless workers. The city is even installing toilets and showers for the new occupants. Apparently, the City Council thought installing temporary utilities was cheaper than solving the area’s cost-of-living crisis. And what a crisis it is. The average home in the city sells for $930,000, while most of the housing available for rent is not apartments but luxury homes targeted at wealthy people on vacation. With such a shortage of middle-class housing and starter homes essentially nonexistent, low- and even middle-income blue-collar workers have nowhere to go at night but their back seat. Much like America’s Great Depression in the 1930s, this marks a serious regression in our national standard of living. But shantytowns were not prevalent in the 1920s (a decade that began with a depression) or the 1910s. Nor were they ubiquitous following the Panic of 1907, which set off one of the worst recessions in American history. Now let's dig into the data.... Because math never lies. BIDENOMICS: Six Stats The Biden Regime Does NOT Want You To See! Is your life better now than it was 4 years ago? Do you feel more comfortable? Have more money? Bigger savings? Feel more safe in the world? Right, me either. But not only do we FEEL worse under Biden, but the stats actually prove it out.....BIG LEAGUE. (By the way, I'm not sure how it ever caught on that people thought Trump was saying "Bigly" but it was always Big League -- that's a freebie for you today). Anyway, all credit goes out to my friends over at MRCTV for this one. They did an excellent job gathering these six stats that show life truly is much worse right now after 4 years of Biden. Starting with Gas Prices.... No, it is NOT your imagination, you truly are paying more at the pump: You truly ARE making less money: Your mortgage payments HAVE gone sky high (if you had to get a new mortgage recently) and that means BIG bucks out of your pocket each month for nothing other than "interest": You have MUCH less in your bank account: And everything costs WAY more.... Going up at a 3x pace too! Going up monthly too.... So how often do you get a pay raise? Once a year (if you're lucky)? Good luck keeping up with prices that go up 5.5% every MONTH! And you can thank Joe Biden for all of this! If this resonated with you, please share with a friend! Together we can stop 4 more years of this crap!

45th President Donald J. Trump received a “staggering” standing ovation at UFC 302 just days after he was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records by a Manhattan jury.

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum says he doesn't believe the trials against President Donald Trump are going to have a major impact on votes.

Clinton apparatchik and fake journalist George Stephanopoulos said on “ABC’s This Week,” “Of course, the attorney general of Manhattan has nothing to do with the Department of Justice.”  (07:45 on the mark) Mr. Trump’s attorney, Will Scharf, replied: “I vehemently disagree that the district attorney in New York was not politically motivated here, and I […] The post Stephanopoulos Claims the Weaponized Bragg Case Isn’t Political appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The WNBA has upgraded a foul on Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, who was knocked to the hardwood by Chicago Sky player Chennedy Carter during a game on Saturday. Footage of the incident has gone viral and drawn a great deal of controversy. A review of the away-from-the-ball common foul led to it being elevated to a flagrant 1 violation, the league told ESPN on Sunday, though Carter will not be fined or suspended for the infraction. According to WNBA rules, a flagrant 1 is assessed “if contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary.” Carter knocked Clark, who was the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft this year, to the floor in the third quarter. Carter then walked away as a Fever teammate walked over and helped Clark back up to her feet. Chennedy Carter fouls Caitlin Clark on the inbound. Away-from-play foul called. pic.twitter.com/LodLF5oKMF — Matthew Byrne (@MatthewByrne1) June 1, 2024 The shove and subsequent foul drew millions of views on social media, as well as criticism. “Okay, this IS HATING on Caitlin Clark,” former Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said on X. “Face guarding, extremely aggressive play and the occasional hard foul can be describe as competitiveness,” he added. “Going out of your way to call her out of her name and body check her to the floor without the ball is HATING.” Christie Sides, who coaches the Fever, said in a post to X the initial away-from-the-ball common foul was “unacceptable.” During news conferences after the game, which the Fever won 71-70, players on both teams faced questions about the third-quarter shove. “It is what it is. It’s a physical game,” Clark said. The point guard added later that she is “at the point where you accept it and don’t retaliate … I’m trying not to let it bother me.” Sides noted that the Fever would be “sending” plays, including the shove, to the league for review and praised Clark for how she had responded to “getting hammered the way she does and to not get rewarded with free throws or, you know, just the foul calls.” The coach added, “She’s continued to fight through that. Appreciate that from her. Really, really proud of her for doing that.” Carter declined to discuss what transpired on the court with Clark. “I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions,” she told a reporter. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Rookie Angel Reese, another player on the Sky who is known for taunting Clark when they played each other in college, appeared to jump up from the bench after the foul and applaud.

In addition, the WNBA said the Sky organization had been fined $5,000 for failing to ensure all players comply with the league’s media policies.

A group of Senate Republicans vowed to do what they can to stand in the way of President Joe Biden‘s priorities after the guilty verdict in Donald Trump‘s New York hush money trial, marking the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) revealed on Friday that he and seven of his GOP colleagues — Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL), J.D. Vance (R-OH), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and Roger Marshall (R-KS) — had signed onto a pledge. Vance and Rubio are reportedly in the mix to become Trump’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election. Scott is campaigning to become the next leader of the Senate GOP, along with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Senate Minority Whip Sen. John Thune (R-SD). “The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways,” the pledge says. “As a Senate Republican conference, we are unwilling to aid and abet this White House in its project to tear this country apart.” The pledge continues, “To that end, we will not 1) allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare; 2) vote to confirm this administration’s political and judicial appointees; and 3) allow expedited consideration and passage of Democrat legislation or authorities that are not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Later that day, Lee announced that the list of GOP senators who joined the pledge had grown. Two other members—Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Ron Johnson (R-WI)—added their signatures, giving the group nearly one-fifth representation in the Republican caucus of the upper chamber. Despite the increase in numbers, a fraction of the minority party is limited in what they can do alone to stop Democrat leadership from making forward progress. A jury returned a guilty verdict against Trump on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up payments in a bid to conceal a tryst with adult film star Stormy Daniels as part of a “catch-and-kill” scheme to influence the 2016 election. Trump, who denied the affair and pleaded not guilty to the charges, said he would be “appealing this scam.” Sentencing is scheduled for July 11. “Strongly worded statements are not enough,” Lee said on X. “Those who turned our judicial system into a political cudgel must be held accountable. We are no longer cooperating with any Democrat legislative priorities or nominations, and we invite all concerned Senators to join our stand.” RELATED: Trump Shrugs Off Possible Jail Sentence After ‘Scam’ Trial, Won’t ‘Beg’ For Leniency

Former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara said over the weekend that President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is in serious trouble in his federal trial that starts this week over alleged gun crimes. Bharara, a Democrat who served in the Southern District of New York during the Obama era, made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’s “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan. “Tomorrow, in another unusual situation our country is in, the Biden Justice Department will begin a trial in Delaware against the president’s son, where Hunter faces three felony gun possession charges, maximum 25 years prison,” Brennan said. “How much hot water is he in here?” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Bharara responded, “He’s in substantial hot water because he’s been charged federally,” noting that the case was very serious given that “you have the son of the sitting president of the United States of America going to trial at the hands of his own Justice Department.” WATCH: Days after the verdict against Donald Trump, President Biden’s son Hunter is this week set to face trial for federal felony gun possession charges.@PreetBharara says Hunter Biden is “in substantial hot water” in the case but adds: “Can anyone listening to this broadcast… pic.twitter.com/TTABqXgPw8 — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) June 2, 2024

Anthony Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to the president, could not recall a scientific study supporting the masking of children prior to the widespread masking of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci is the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and was influential in the U.S. response to COVID-19, first advising former president Donald Trump, then President Joe Biden. Republicans have grown increasingly critical of Fauci for misleading the American people over the risks of COVID-19 and other issues. The former top health official testified on the U.S. response to COVID-19 in a closed-door meeting with members of the select subcommittee on the COVID-19 pandemic in January. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which oversees the subcommittee’s work, released transcripts of Fauci’s testimony on Friday. Fauci is expected to return to Capitol Hill on Monday to testify publicly in front of Congress. During the closed-door testimony in January, Republicans asked Fauci about the scientific support for masking children before masking policies were adopted widely during the pandemic. Fauci, though he hedged his answer, failed to provide a specific example of a study he viewed supporting child masking. He suggested that he may not have looked at any data at all. “Do you recall reviewing any studies or data supporting masking for children?” GOP counsel asked, according to the transcript. Fauci responded, “You know, I might have, Mitch, but I don’t recall specifically that I did. I might have.” The counsel then pointed to studies and data from the pandemic that suggest masking harmed child development and education. “There’s been a lot of studies that have come out since the pandemic started, but specifically on this there have been significant on, kind of like the learning loss and speech and development issues that have been associated with particularly young children wearing masks while they’re growing up. They can’t see their teacher talk and can’t learn how to form words. Have you followed any of those studies?” the counsel asked. “No,” Fauci answered. He went on to say he believes the scientific data on child masking is still mixed. “I believe that there are a lot of conflicting studies too, that there are those that say, yes, there is an impact, and there are those that say there’s not. I still think that’s up in the air,” he said. “I mean, I’m very sensitive to children. I have children and I have grandchildren. So, I don’t want to have anything that would do to harm them [sic]. But I think that there was a conflicting discussion about the negative impact on speech and formation of the bones of the face, and that I think was debunked pretty easily.”
