Austin, Texas Job Listing For Next Police Chief: Must Be Familiar With ‘History Of Institutional Racism’
Austin, Texas, is looking for its next chief of police and instead of focusing on skills related to law enforcement and lowering crime, the city is seeking an individual who will bow to the ideology of its far-left local politicians.
From the new APD chief job posting: Should have a “sound understanding of the history of institutional racism in policing” & work to provide public safety services equitably while also advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion, including within APD?♂️https://t.co/LEabga4jll

The Texas capital is spending $60,000 on a national search for the next Austin Police Department Chief.
In the listing for the job, the city notes it’s looking for someone with at least 10 years of “progressively responsible work in police administration,” and only five years employed as a “bona fide law enforcement officer.”
Candidates with the best shot at the job are those with prior experience working as a police chief in a city with “issues that are similarly complex to those in Austin.”
Basically, you’re a prime candidate if you already have experience running a police force in a big city with high crime.
Probably more important than actually reducing criminal activity, candidates must display a “sound understanding of the history of institutional racism in policing.”
KVUE reports the next police chief will also have to “work to provide public safety services equitably while also advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion, including within APD.”
The new Austin City Manager T.C. Broadnax spoke about the hiring process, saying, “Public safety is of paramount importance, not just to me and the Mayor and City Council, but to Austin as a whole. My commitment to this community is to find the absolute best candidate for this critical role. I want to ensure that I bring forward someone who will build trust and foster a culture of transparency and accountability.”
Whoever is hired will have their hands tied as Austin’s leftist District Attorney lets criminals off in many instances as seen in blue cities across the country.
WATCH: Alex Jones, Jack Posobiec Discuss Future Terror Attacks In Europe MONTHS Before Slovak Assassination Attempt
While Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is currently ‘fighting for his life’ after Wednesday’s assassination attempt, a powerful encounter between radio host Alex Jones and veteran Navy intel officer Jack Posobiec from March has resurfaced where the two discussed the likelihood of such terror attacks:
Moreover, additional eye-opening videos of Fico have emerged revealing him to be strongly against ‘The Western strategy in Ukraine’ as well as the the World Health Organization’s “experimental untested vaccines.”
Who benefits from the assassination attempt on Fico?

“I also clearly declare that we (Slovakia Democratic Party) WILL NOT support strengthening the Powers of the World Health Organization,” said Fico in a speech last week. “One study after another confirms the scandalous consequences of mass vaccination with experimental untested vaccines.”
Alex Jones has called people to pray for Fico’s survival.
“No wonder they tried to assassinate him,” said Jones Wednesday. “I pray to our heavenly father that he survives please join me.”

GOP Reps Nominate Trump for Congressional Gold Medal to Recognize ‘Exceptional Leadership’
House Republicans have nominated ex-President Donald Trump to receive a congressional medal.
Under a proposal led by Rep. Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the former president would be formally recognized for “exceptional leadership” with a Congressional Gold Medal, one of the highest civilian honors.
I just introduced a bill to give President Trump a Congressional Gold Medal. Under his leadership, America was re-established as a respected global power, and the world was safer. It’s time we give him recognition for it. https://t.co/dozHQx3yg6
— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) May 15, 2024
The medal would be bestowed to the former president “in recognition of his exceptional leadership and dedication to strengthening America’s diplomatic relations during his presidency,” according to text from Luna’s House Resolution 8386, obtained by Fox News.
Speaking to Fox News, Luna said it’s time Trump receives credit for leading the country with strength.
“President Trump’s fearless leadership reestablished America as a respected and admired global power,” Luna told Fox.
“It is time we recognize a president who put our country first and secured global peace through bold diplomacy. Despite the liberal media’s attempts to spread fear, America and the world were undoubtedly safer under President Donald Trump. One of our duties in Congress is to honor those who have contributed significantly to our nation, and that’s why I’m introducing this legislation.”
Co-sponsors of the bill include Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-Tenn.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) and Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas).
Interestingly, Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) is also a co-sponsor of the bill, despite previously backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for president.
“President Trump did more in four years on behalf of the American people than any president in my lifetime. He secured our border, achieved historic peace in the Middle East, and implemented policies that helped our economy prosper,” Rep. Good told Fox. “The last three years of a failed Biden administration have only served as a stark contrast to President Trump’s record.”
We’ll update this article when President Trump responds to Rep. Luna’s proposal.
“Excuse My French”: Triggered Robert De Niro Goes On Explicit Unhinged Trump Rant on The View
Actor Robert De Niro revealed he still suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome in a recent appearance on “The View,” uttering expletives to convey his deep hatred towards the current Republican presidential frontrunner.
Touching on his infamous “punch Trump in the face” remark from 2016, the 80-year-old actor was asked by the ABC daytime talk show’s left-leaning hosts if he had advice for Joe Biden’s campaign, considering he’s losing to Trump in five battleground states.
Robert De Niro went on an unhinged rant on The View about Trump and his supporters, ironically calling them angry and hate filled.

He then goes on to say he wants “to punch” Trump “in the face.”
He definitely fits in with these wash women! pic.twitter.com/htZyqfVnFG
“I don’t understand why people are not taking him seriously,” De Niro said of Trump, “because you read about it historically in other countries that they didn’t take the people seriously. I think of Hitler and Mussolini. Fools and clowns… I mean, who does not think that this guy is going to do exactly what he says he’s going to do?”
“It’s going to happen,” De Niro continued. “If he gets elected, it’s going to change this country for everybody, and they might think that it’s going to make their life better, or they just want to, excuse my French, [muted] with the country.”
“Those people who support him with anger and hate, because that’s what he’s about, they’re going to see,” he added, going on to take issue with Trump’s tiff with Rosie O’Donnell.
“He’s vicious,” De Niro claimed. “Why will he not do that in this country? He’s already done it. Why would he not — when I say, ‘I want to punch him in the face,’ it’s because what he said to a person — a bystander, somebody in one of his rallies, he wants to punch him in the face. You don’t talk that way to people. What kind of person does that?”
De Niro’s next comments were heavily censored, but his deranged animosity toward Trump came through.
“It’s almost like he wants to do the worst that he could possibly do to show this country and to [bleep] with us. His slogan should be, [bleep] America. I want to [bleep] you, America,” De Niro said, as the show’s leftist audience erupted in applause.
Here’s the full segment:
The segment highlights how limousine liberals like De Niro prioritize keeping Trump out of office over addressing Americans’ suffering under Biden’s disastrous policies.
Everything De Niro says Trump is doing the Democratic Party is openly doing to the American people. This guy is beyond pathetic and poses a clear and present danger to our Republic! . https://t.co/Pis3LjgbRy

Rare Emergence of Cicadas Perfect ‘Opportunity’ to Eat the Bugs, Axios Advises
The left desperately wants you to eat the bugs.
Axios published an article Wednesday titled, “Cicada emergence creates some fine dining options,” claiming the rare emergence of cicada broods in the U.S. heartland this summer is “creating excitement in some dining circles.”
A rare emergence of cicadas is creating excitement among some dining circles, offering an opportunity to rethink entomophagy — the eating of insects. https://t.co/qKlMe1G9v6
— Axios (@axios) May 15, 2024
The article goes on to explain how the cicadas are generating buzz among leftists who are clamoring to feast on the insects.
Two regional broods of cicadas are emerging simultaneously for the first time in 221 years in parts of southern Iowa and central Illinois, an event that Ginny Mitchell, the program coordinator at Iowa State University’s Insect Zoo, plans to take advantage of.
“Mitchell, who eats bugs like ants or crickets regularly, plans to snack on cicadas for the first time this year and will collect them during a trip to Illinois next month. She’s considering air frying and making a special sauce for them,” Axios reported.
“The insects were recently dubbed the ‘noisy lobsters of the trees‘ by the New York Times. Chefs and foragers are collecting them for dishes like cicada-stuffed pasta or kimchi. They have a ‘mild woody flavor,’ per the Times.”
The left’s obsession with persuading people to eat bugs stems from the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset framework which argues that eating insects helps fight “climate change” and is a more sustainable alternative to red meat.
Bill Gates also pushes for humanity to shift to bug-eating
Users on social media, however, roundly mocked Axios’ bug-eating propaganda.
No. Please stop trying to make this a thing.

“Hmm, yummy eats!” ???
Never gonna happen! Let Bill Gates eat bugs since he is so fond of them
— TryAndTakeIt (@TryandTakeIt) May 15, 2024
In typical gaslighting fashion, the media dismisses the globalists’ agenda to push eating insects as a “conspiracy theory” while simultaneously normalizing eating the bugs in articles like this Axios piece.
The Washington Post even called for the American people to start eating bugs in 2022 as a way to cope with skyrocketing prices brought on by inflation under Joe Biden.
“Consumers can already find foods like salted ants on Amazon and cricket powder protein bars in grocery stores!” the outlet noted.
Some major companies have also quietly added insects to their food products, such as “organic cricket flour.”
The WEF claimed bug-based diets are needed to control carbon emissions and to address exploding human population growth.
“The world’s population will reach 9.7 billion people by 2050. This means that despite only 4% of arable land remaining available on the surface of our planet an additional 2 billion more humans will have to be fed,” the WEF wrote in a 2021 article.
“In order to address this impending crisis, world experts and leaders will meet this autumn at the UN Food Summit and then the COP26. Often overlooked in these discussions is the potential role insects can play in helping meet this challenge.”
HHS Suspends Taxpayer Funding for EcoHealth Alliance Over Illegal Gain-of-Function Research at Wuhan Lab
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has formally commenced debarment proceedings against EcoHealth Alliance from receiving taxpayer-funded government grants over its role in facilitating gain-of-function research in China.
In its action referral memorandum published on Wednesday, HHS explained how EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) and its president Peter Daszak skirted government oversight and regulations to conduct risky gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) that led up to the release of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that became COVID-19.
“The information in the record establishes EHA did not adequately monitor WIV’s compliance, and, therefore, its own compliance, with the terms and conditions of its grant award,” wrote HHS Suspension and Debarment Official Henrietta Katrina Brisbon.
?BREAKING?
— Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (@COVIDSelect) May 15, 2024
Today, based on evidence uncovered in @COVIDSelect‘s recent report, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services commenced formal debarment proceedings against EcoHealth Alliance.
EcoHealth will now face an immediate, government-wide suspension of taxpayer… pic.twitter.com/gLxg6R3Enw
“Therefore, given the issues regarding the management of EHA’s grant awards and subawards, I have determined that the immediate suspension of EHA is necessary to protect the public interest.”
The HHS memorandum came in response to a damning report issued by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic earlier this month finding EcoHealth Alliance “used taxpayer dollars to facilitate gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in Wuhan at the WIV, contrary to previous public statements, including those by Dr. Anthony Fauci.”
The report, which was based on over “one million pages of documents” and testimony from “more than a dozen fact witnesses” also found “EcoHealth violated its grant terms and conditions by failing to report a potentially dangerous experiment conducted by the WIV.”
Additionally, the report concluded the National Institute of Health “may not have known about EcoHealth’s actions without proper intervention by former-President Donald Trump and former-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.”
Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) issued a statement Wednesday praising HHS’s move to suspend EcoHealth Alliance from government grants:
“EcoHealth Alliance and Dr. Peter Daszak should never again receive a single penny from the U.S. taxpayer. Only two weeks after the Select Subcommittee released an extensive report detailing EcoHealth’s wrongdoing and recommending the formal debarment of EcoHealth and its president, HHS has begun efforts to cut off all U.S. funding to this corrupt organization.
“EcoHealth facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China without proper oversight, willingly violated multiple requirements of its multimillion-dollar National Institutes of Health grant, and apparently made false statements to the NIH. These actions are wholly abhorrent, indefensible, and must be addressed with swift action. EcoHealth’s immediate funding suspension and future debarment is not only a victory for the U.S. taxpayer, but also for American national security and the safety of citizens worldwide.
“The Select Subcommittee’s investigation into EcoHealth and the origins of COVID-19 is far from over. Dr. Daszak and his team are still required to produce all outstanding documents and answer the Select Subcommittee’s questions, specifically related to Dr. Daszak’s potential dishonesty under oath. We will hold EcoHealth accountable for any waste, fraud, and abuse and are committed to uncovering any illegal activity, including lying to Congress, NIH, or the Inspector General.”
The nonprofit’s suspension also undermines former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci’s repeated testimony — under oath — that EcoHealth Alliance never facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

Rep. Wenstrup last week also called on the State Department to release all classified documents related to the origins of COVID-19 and claimed the Chinese Communist Party attempted to cover it up.
Notably, despite Daszak admitting in 2021 to helping China develop weaponized coronaviruses, the Biden administration awarded EcoHealth Alliance another $2.3 million in government grants for research on bat coronaviruses two years later.
