WATCH: The Modern Memo’s Kay Hill Joins Lara Trump For ‘The Right View’

The Modern Memo’s EIC Kay Hill (who also goes by Kay Smythe Hill) joined a panel on Lara Trump’s “The Right View” in May with The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman. If you’re looking for a laugh and learn in this mid-week slump, then look no further than a recent episode of Lara Trump’s “The Right View,” featuring TMM’s EIC Kay Hill alongside her former Daily Caller colleague Brianna Lyman. Topics covered in the episode include the seven articles of impeachment filed against President Donald Trump by Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar; failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz’s claim that former VP Kamala Harris picked him as a running mate so “white guys” felt more comfortable voting for her, despite voters of all races moving toward the Trump Republican party in 2024, and more! Watch The Full Episode Below Watch Previous Episode of “The Right View” Just a few weeks earlier, Kay joined “The Right View” alongside The Post Millennial’s Libby Emmons where the three women covered the rather hilarious “women in space” situation — (remember that?!) and the not-so-funny pro-assassination rhetoric coming from the political sphere. (MORE NEWS: Oh No, Millennials Were Right! Experts Say Childhood Trauma May Be ‘Hidden Root’ Of Disease, Suffering And Addiction) Bill Maher’s near-red-pilling dominated the conversation.

Best Crops To Grow During A Nuclear Apocalypse, According To Scientists

An article published in early May by Live Science revealed what some experts believe would be the best crops to grow during a nuclear winter, or following a solar storm or similarly catastrophic event. Congratulations, you’re one of the few people who managed to survive nuclear war, the next extreme pandemic, or the crushing blow of a solar storm. Your goal is to plant sugar beets, spinach, wheat and carrots, as these are your go-to apocalypse crops, according to a study published in the journal PLOS One. The scientists wanted to figure out the best crops for people surviving on small amounts of land. While the study wasn’t inspired by any particular global event, lead author Matt Boyd noted to Live Science that the study “turned out to be very relevant, obviously, to the current geopolitical environment.” What Is The Best Inner-City Crop? The study looked at the best crops to grow in a city during normal times, and then during a nuclear winter. It turns out that peas are the best because of their high protein content and they’re well adapted to grow in small spaces. “If you want to feed someone, growing peas minimizes the amount of land you need to feed that person,” Boyd continued. (RELATED: Guys, We May Have Found The Most Addictive New Outdoors Show On YouTube) But if you live in climates that can get a little chilly, peas aren’t going to be your best friend. The plant isn’t frost resistant, meaning they’re not great for growing during a nuclear winter (or volcanic winter, or the aftermath of an asteroid impact, all of which have relatively similar outcomes day-to-day). Spinach and sugar beets were found to be the best for such conditions, so be sure to stock up on some seeds before it’s too late! The major limitation of the study is that city dwellers are probably the least likely to survive any type of apocalypse. (RELATED: Joe Pags Launches ‘Unshaken And Unafraid’ With Salem Media Group; WATCH The Epic Premiere Episode) Actually, city folks are the least likely to survive in a minor societal disruption that upends our food and water supply. Those who did make it through will either hunker down in their homes or venture out into the natural world and somehow find a way; and they might set-up themselves and their communities for long-term success. “People settled cities where they did for a good reason,” one expert Theresa Nogeire-McRae told Live Science. “It was the rich soil near riverbanks. It’s a good commodity. Let’s not throw that away.” Get Involved Today! Very few mid-sized American cities have open, clean land around their major rivers, and the waterways are typically filled with filth. Most of these areas were turned over to industry over the last hundred years, or coated in concrete for the purposes of “urban planning.” Urban gardening and agriculture is something we care about deeply at The Modern Memo. If you live in a city or town on a river, take a photo of any open land that you think could be used for crop production. Post it and tag us on social media (X — @TheModernMemo) Together, we can start reshaping minds around how best to use the planet God gave us to support ourselves and our future.

Mainstream Media Finally Wakes Up To Massive Geological Threat To US

A study published in late April has finally woken up the mainstream news media to the threat of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a boundary that could reconfigure the physical landscape of the Pacific coast when it next shakes. The Cascadia fault stretches a startling 600(ish) miles from the northern reaches of California through to British Columbia, according to AccuWeather. Quakes in this region go mostly ignored, but only because a monstrous tectonic rupture hasn’t hit for an estimated 300 or more years. When Cascadia awakens, she shakes the West coast with a magnitude-9.0 quake for upwards of five minutes, often sending a tsunami upwards of 100 feet tall toward the shoreline, NBC reported. The latest study points to a new threat posed by the fault. “Along the Washington, Oregon, and northern California coasts, the next great Cascadia subduction zone earthquake could cause up to 2 m [6.5 feet] of sudden coastal subsidence, dramatically raising sea level, expanding floodplains, and increasing the flood risk to local communities,” the authors wrote. Where Is The Risk Area? Major cities in the risk area include Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, but also those to the north and south and eastwards in-land. “This lesser talked about hazard is going to persist for decades or centuries after the earthquake,” co-author Tina Dura told NBC. “The tsunami will come in and wash away and it’s going to have big impacts, don’t get me wrong, but the lasting change of the frequency of flooding … that’s going to have to be dealt with.” (EXCLUSIVE: 20,000,000 Sick Americans Abandoned By Medical ‘Oligarchy’ Controlled By Elites; Can We Fix It?) Fossil records suggest the land-drop during previous Cascadia quakes turned dry ground into tidal mudflats along estuaries throughout the Pacific Northwest. “That’s going to happen again and we’ve built up a lot of those areas,” she added. It’s a good time to remember that the most dangerous earthquake fault on the West Coast is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, not the San Andreas Fault. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of producing a megathrust earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0+ and a resulting tsunami up to… pic.twitter.com/9znJ9Sz4tM — Colin McCarthy (@US_Stormwatch) December 5, 2024 When Can We Expect Another Quake? Cascadia last shook in 1700, with previous quakes hitting once every 450-500 years on average. The National Seismic Hazard Model estimates a 15% chance of a magnitude-8.0 or stronger quake within the next 50 years. (RELATED: Joe Pags Launches ‘Unshaken And Unafraid’ With Salem Media Group; WATCH The Epic Premiere Episode) Federal officials, experts, basically anyone who knows about Cascadia believes that when the quake hits, it will likely be the worst natural disaster in the nation’s history, with reports suggesting: 14,000 fatalities* 100,000+ injuries 620,000 buildings collapsed, including 100 hospitals and 2,000 schools There are more than 2,500,000 people living between Portland and Vancouver. We believe these estimates are conservative and only represent those killed by direct impacts from the earthquake and tsunami. “There’s the flood itself and then there’s the basically permanent change to land level at the coast and that has a big impact for what those communities have to plan for,” Pacific Northwest Seismic Network Harold Tobin explained to NBC. “Where are you going to put your school or hospital? Where are you going to build your transportation network? I think it’s important to take the long view.” Long-term Planning Shortened Pain A great failure of the western mindset is our ignorance of time. We eat news in three meals a day, throw out fads faster than seasons change; we replace our politicians rapidly — and this is a good thing, as we all know how power corrupts. But we must reshape our thinking toward the natural world. We do not dominate our physical landscape. We are placed here as shepherds, existing at the will and mercy of our living planet. It would be wonderful if everyone could shut up about “issues like climate change” and instead learn to live in symbiosis with the things God gave us so we can prosper for generations to come. We hope to foster an environment of common sense education around the world and all her processes here at The Modern Memo.

Complicit? California Democrats Send Another Child Sex Trafficking Bill Into Oblivion – LGBTQ Concerns Raised

This article was written by Martin Tribe for WokeSpy. The Democrat-dominated California legislature is reluctant to pass a bill to protect children under 18 years from sex trafficking. Introduced by Sacramento Democrat Assemblywoman Maggy Krell, Assembly Bill 379 (AB 379) aims to protect children under 18 years from sex solicitation and child trafficking. “I want to solve two problems with this bill: One, we have to create more resources for victims like Julie and the thousands of other victims who are being trafficked,” the Assemblywoman explained. “And two: we have to crack down on the men who are buying them for sex. That’s what Assembly Bill 379 does. “It creates a law that allows law enforcement to intervene, when men are out on the prowl trying to buy victims for sex. It also makes it chargeable as a felony when those victims are under 18 years old.” Democrats ‘Neutered’ The Bill In 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 1414 into law, making it a felony to solicit sex from children under the age of 16. However, soliciting or purchasing sex from 16- and 17-year-old children was a wobbler, allowing prosecutors to charge it as a misdemeanor or felony. (MORE FROM WokeSpy: Another Trump Victory: Walmart Announces Buy “American-Made” Initiative) Introduced by Bakersfield Republican state Senator Shannon Grove and Assemblywoman Krell, SB 1414 aimed to make it a felony to solicit sex from all children under the age of 18. According to Krell, banning solicitation across the board would help to protect children from sex trafficking, which hinges on the ability to purchase sex from minors without serious consequences. Nonetheless, California Democrats neutered the bill, capping the age at 15 years and below for felony charges to apply. Additionally, they attempted to kill it by sending it to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Economist Breaks Down Trump Tariffs, Talks Recession Terror, Talks Mass Chicken Slaughter

Former chief economist for President Donald Trump’s first administration, Vance Ginn, joined “The Joe Pags Show” in early May to discuss tariffs, recession, and something about the mass killing of chickens. Ginn was quick to clarify that the American economy is not in a recession (at the time of writing), concurring with Pags that the Biden administration only narrowly avoided going into a mass economic downturn using “artificial” measures. “I think the economy was propped up by fiscal and monetary policy to make things look good. Like, it put a lot of money in the economy. What do we get? We got a lot of inflation. We got a lot of people who dropped out of the labor force,” Ginn continued, noting the continued decline in labor force participation since the previous administration. Even though America maybe didn’t go into a recession publicly, to the people living outside of the upper echelons, it “felt like a recession.” Killing Chickens On Purpose? Pags then turned the conversation to everyone’s favorite backyard buddies: chickens. Pags stated that Dir. of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett said recently that “he wouldn’t be surprised if Biden killed 140 million chickens on purpose and then, of course, the egg prices soared.” The purpose for this was to hand Trump a food and grocery-price crisis. “Is there anything to that do you think, Vance?” Pags asked. (MORE NEWS: ‘Will Be Punished’: Consequences Arrive Early For Canadian Voters After Doubling Down On Wokeism) “Anything is possible,” Ginn replied, but noted there was also a bird flu epidemic during that same time period, so there was likely a push by the CDC to kill off chickens.

Soviet Spacecraft May Hit US Thanks To Uncontrolled Reentry

AccuWeather reported Friday that a defunct Soviet spacecraft may crash into Earth, possibly somewhere in the contiguous U.S., between May 9 and May 11. The spacecraft named Kosmos 482 launched in 1972 on a voyage to Venus, but an issue trapped it in orbit around Earth, where it sat in a state of limbo, according to AccuWeather. “Because the probe was designed to withstand entry into the Venus atmosphere, it is possible the probe (or parts of it) will survive reentry at Earth and reach the surface,” NASA said in a statement. The “uncontrolled” reentry could see the spacecraft hit anywhere in “Africa, South America, the contiguous United States, Australia and New Zealand, most of Europe and most of Asia,” AccuWeather noted. Even though this sounds like most of the inhabited world, a majority of this area is ocean. Should the craft land in our oceans, it likely wouldn’t pose any threat to human life. Before you ask, yes: the craft was fitted with a parachute for reentry, but given the existing issues and age of the materials, scientists think it’s unlikely to successfully deploy. (TAKE A POLL: Do You Believe in UFOs?) How Big Is The Risk Of Impact? The chances of Kosmos 482 hitting your home are astronomically low, but never zero. Earth is smashed about by bits of space debris — manmade and cosmic — on a daily basis. For the most part, we don’t notice when a meteorite hits the ground by our feet. All physical objects have to go through a heck of a lot of friction to reach Earth, and end up miniscule in size by the time they reach us. Then there are the space rocks that cause cataclysmic — near-extinction-sized events. When most people think of asteroids destroying the planet, their minds go back to the dinosaurs and the Chicxulub crater that turned these ferocious monsters into chickens. The Lost City of Atlantis is not a Disney Movie. The legend originates from the ancient Egyptians! 📍They said it was destroyed 11,600yrs (before present day) 📍The ‘Younger Dryas Climate Catastrophe’ was exactly 11,600yrs ago Not a coincidence. It’s evidence Atlantis existed. pic.twitter.com/SgqjXdOvLP — Jimmy Corsetti (@BrightInsight6) May 18, 2024 Just 12,800(ish)-years-ago, an asteroid may have temporarily restarted our ice age — an event known as the Younger Dryas cooling event. Geological evidence from this time period suggests mass amounts of cold, fresh water rushed into the North Atlantic, cutting off the flow of warm water north via the Gulf Stream and reshaping global coastlines entirely. (RELATED: Guys, We May Have Found The Most Addictive New Outdoors Show On YouTube) Experts and independent investigators suggest this sudden shift in climate was caused by an asteroid either hitting or bursting the ice coating our northern hemisphere. Take Action On Asteroids There are many other theories about, and surrounding, the Younger Dryas, and we’re going to talk about them as often as we can on The Modern Memo. Mounting evidence suggests we are not the first technologically advanced civilization to live on Earth. At the very least, Big Archaeology and mainstream institutions are hiding our history; either through lack of research or purposeful obfuscation. We hate that. A lot.

Joe Pags Launches ‘Unshaken And Unafraid’ With Salem Media Group; WATCH The Epic Premiere Episode

Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Joe Pags launched his new podcast “Unshaken and Unafraid” Monday with an epic first episode, exclusively developed by Salem Media Group. Friend of The Modern Memo, Joe Pags, launched the first episode of his new podcast with one of the most intense interviews you’ll hear about what’s really going on in the Middle East, and why it matters to every single American here at home and abroad. Pags is joined by CIA targeter Sarah Adams, one of the most knowledgeable individuals on the heightened threat of Islamic fundamentalists to Western civilization, and they get right to the meat of it. “I think the belief is that the terrorists just want us out of their land overseas, but that’s only one step. They want that, and then they want to end our civilization and then take over our lands. And I think the last piece really gets forgotten and then people get confused when you [say] that they’re targeting the homeland,” Adams explains early in the conversation. https://t.co/E1oTU7ocml — Joe Pags Pagliarulo (@JoeTalkShow) May 5, 2025 As these collective terror groups gain control of Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, and likely Somalia in the coming months, Adams describes their behavior as “baby steps” in a “grander” plan. (RELATED: ‘Will Be Punished’: Consequences Arrive Early For Canadian Voters After Doubling Down On Wokeism) At the center of the threat are the sons of Osama bin Laden. While the late senior terrorist was absolutely fine waiting potentially hundreds of years for his global Islamic caliphate to be realized, his offspring want to see it come to fruition in their lifetimes. Imminent Threat? The magnitude of the Islamic terror threat appears to have been shielded from the general American public under the mass-propaganda machine of mainstream news media, which Pags pointed out so eloquently as having pushed the false narrative that cities like Fallujah are like “Charlotte, North Carolina.” (RELATED: Guys, We May Have Found The Most Addictive New Outdoors Show On YouTube) The U.S. has never seen the type of terrorist that exists in cities like Fallujah, Adams continues, noting that law enforcement in the U.S. needs adequate training to deal with their tactics, especially as so many known terrorists walked over President Joe Biden’s open border in the last four years.

‘Will Be Punished’: Consequences Arrive Early For Canadian Voters After Doubling Down On Wokeism

This article was written by James Davis for WokeSpy. Canada doubled down on Wokeism by returning Justin Trudeau’s party, the Liberal Party of Canada, to power, ensuring that his clone Mark Carney remains as the prime minister, a decision they might soon regret. Many Canadians voted for Trudeau’s ally out of spite for President Trump after he made the generous offer inviting them to become America’s 51st state, but also threatened to impose tariffs on their products. However, the globalist Prime Minister has unveiled a raft of left-leaning policies that threaten to damage the Canadian economy than the much-feared Trump tariffs ever could. To achieve net zero in carbon emissions, he hinted at a proposal to punish companies that pollute the air and reward those who control their emissions, essentially carbon taxes and incentives. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: 20,000,000 Sick Americans Abandoned By Medical ‘Oligarchy’ Controlled By Elites; Can We Fix It?) Outrageously, Carney might have pulled a fast one on Canadians, having suggested during the campaigns that he would pause the carbon taxes initiative, only to turn around and do the opposite. Mark Carney is already calling for the punishing of companies that don’t bow to the woke climate mob. Canadians are f*cked. pic.twitter.com/TETDRbloG0 — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) May 1, 2025 Canada Becomes Poster-Child For Globalist Assault?

At this rate, expect to see (in the next decade or so should things stay on-trend): Canadian political asylum-seekers moving to the U.S. in the coming years; Large numbers of Canadian citizens moving to the U.S. in search of greater job opportunities and freedom; At least one major catastrophe linked to the backing of climate change, whether that be a financial crisis or an energy crisis; Large numbers of legal and illegal immigrants moving into Canada to replace current population (similar trends witnessed in U.K.); Similar trends will spread throughout the Commonwealth, including mass-censorship of free speech; Decreased tourism to Canada as climate policies price out many once-affordable commodities.

Guys, We May Have Found The Most Addictive New Outdoors Show On YouTube

Getting into a small piece of plastic and launching yourself into a murky body of water, spouse in tow, is not exactly what most people think of when they hear the phrase “couples therapy,” but new YouTube creator Dan Gosner is going to change that. Dan is annoyingly good at pretty much everything he turns his hand to, but we’re not supposed to tell him because our friendship group has that sense of humor. He is the most adventurous person I know in real life, almost always bringing his family along for the ride. (MORE MEMOS: ‘Separation Of Church And State Is So Stupid’: National Radio Host Joe Pags Goes Off) When Dan’s wife, my dearest friend Tara, told me he had launched a video channel, my insides groaned. Great, now I get to see Dan be better than me at everything … on video! Or, even worse, what if this is the one thing he’s terrible at and we have to pretend it’s good?  But guys, I think Dan might be the best new thing on YouTube and we’re getting to see him before he becomes a superstar. Please don’t tell him I said this: I think this is what he was called to do. “Every now and again, Tara and I take the tandem out to test our skills and test our marriage,” Dan says nonchalantly in the introduction to my favorite video thus far (“Couple’s Therapy – Tandem Whitewater Kayaking“). “Tandem kayaks, much like tandem bicycles, are known as ‘divorce boats.’ TURTLE!” What you’ll find in Dan’s videos is not your typical outdoorsmanship. Where so many creators focus on the mystery, the danger, often teasing what’s ahead, Dan’s going to take you on a rollercoaster of emotion. If you watch his episodes on a full size TV you may (like me) go “AHHHHH” when you forget you’re not in the boat with him. Why We Love … Dan Gosner on YouTube  You’ll hold your breath. You’ll laugh out loud. You’ll lull yourself into a serene sense of relaxation. If you can’t get out into the wild today, turn on one of Dan’s videos. Even with the audio turned off, you are guaranteed visually stunning footage with some truly unique choices in the direction that make this one of the best new channels on YouTube.
