Appeals Court Overrules Activist Leftwing Minnesota Judges, Declares That Illegal Aliens Can Be Held Indefinitely Without Bond While Waiting for Their Deportation
Look, we don't give thanks enough. Trump has had some bumps and oopsies this term, but he's been great 96% of the time. 96% will get you an A anywhere. An A+, really, with the curve.
This is important because if you want to deport someone -- put them on a plane -- you need to have physical custody of their bodies, and activist judges keep ruling that after ICE captures an illegal alien, he must be allowed to go free. He'll just show up for his actual deportation, right?
No, of course not. He will disappear "into the shadows," as Jeb Bush might say. But that's what these activist, lawless Democrat judges want -- a soft judicial repeal of the power to deport. They can't just say "we're overruling Congress" -- Congress has the power to make laws about immigration and naturalization, of course -- so instead they just spam out fake requirement after fake requirement to make it effectively impossible to deport anyone. In short -- they want to codify Biden's lawless executive decision to open the borders and guarantee all comers a permanent residency in America into "law" without having to go through the bother of actually changing the law. The Eighth Circuit is the second appeals court to tell lowly court judges they do not have the power to overrule both Congress and the President.And that's not all. The Supreme Court appears inclined to side with the Administration on the government's right to turn away "asylum" seekers at the border.
Appeals court lets Trump administration hold many immigration detainees without bond A panel of appeals court judges handed the Trump administration a major legal victory on Wednesday in its quest to detain large swaths of immigrants living in the country illegally, saying that people who entered the United States without inspection and admission can be detained without bond. The 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit marks the second time that a federal appellate court has sided with the administration on the issue, even as hundreds of lower court judges across the country have taken the opposite view. The conservative Fifth Circuit issued a similar ruling earlier this year. Wednesday's ruling could impact more than 1,000 immigration detention cases in Minnesota alone, according to a source in the U.S. Attorney's office in that state. The Eighth Circuit also oversees six other states stretching from North Dakota to Arkansas. The case involved a man named Joaquin Herrera Avila, a citizen of Mexico who was apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security in Minneapolis last August. DHS detained him without bond and brought removal proceedings against him. His lawyers filed a petition of habeas corpus seeking his release, and the U.S. District Court in Minnesota granted the request. Wednesday's decision reversed the lower court's ruling. The majority opinion was drafted by Judge Bobby Shepherd, a George W. Bush appointee, and joined by Judge L. Steven Grasz, a Trump appointee. Judge Ralph R. Erickson, who was appointed during President Trump's first term, dissented. "Except for a single DUI, for nearly 20 years, Joaquin Herrera Avila had been living a law-abiding life in the United States," Erickson wrote. "For the past 29 years, Avila would have been entitled to a bond hearing during his removal proceedings. The court now holds that Avila--and millions of others--are subject to mandatory detention." ... But the Trump administration has argued that anyone who entered the U.S. illegally is subject to mandatory deportation, unless immigration authorities grant them parole on humanitarian or public interest grounds. Last fall, a Justice Department-run immigration court made a sweeping determination that the government could essentially detain a large swath of immigrants indefinitely while their removal proceedings are pending. Since then, federal courts across the United States have been crushed by a tidal wave of cases filed by immigrants challenging their detention. In most cases, U.S. District Courts have sided with the immigrants and ruled against the government. According to a tally from Politico, more than 400 judges have ruled against the government in more than 5,000 cases.
The majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to be sympathetic to the idea that the Trump administration should be able to turn away asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border. If the court rules in favor of the administration, the government will be able to revive a policy used during Trump's first term, where those seeking asylum were stopped at the border from setting foot in the US. Federal law dictates that those who arrive in the US and are "physically present in the United States" or "arrive in the United States" can apply for asylum. The issue is whether noncitizens merely have to show up to the border to request asylum or if they have to cross the border fully before applying. The majority of justices appeared to be sympathetic to the Trump administration in the case, per the New York Times. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Amy Coney Barrett suggested that "arrives in" means that someone has fully crossed the border. "'Arriving" sounds more 'in the process of.' 'Arrives in' sounds more like 'you've reached your destination,'" Justice Barrett said in the hearing. "If it's not crossing the physical border, what is the magic thing?" Former President Barak Obama implemented the policy where some seeking asylum would be turned around at the border, which was expanded by Trump. However, that policy was rescinded under the Biden administration. Biden rejected Trump's border security measures and allowed tens of millions of illegal immigrants to cross into the United States, be paroled, and wait for immigration hearings that were often scheduled five or more years down the road. At one point during his term in office, Biden dismissed a bunch of immigration cases, leaving migrants in a legal limbo with neither legal status nor deporation orders. The Trump administration has urged the justices to allow the policy to be reinstated. Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh suggested that the debate about where a migrant is at when they request asylum is "very artificial." Two of the liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, had tougher questions for the administration in the case. They were the only justices who appeared sympathetic to allowing the full embrace of asylum claims at the border.
Look, we don't give thanks enough. Trump has had some bumps and oopsies this term, but he's been great 96% of the time. 96% will get you an A anywhere. An A+, really, with the curve.

Jonathan Turley: Florida Grand Jury May Finally Reveal the Truth of the RussiaGate Criminal Conspiracy -- and Maybe the Consequences, Too
The Pine-Scented Druid Philosopher James Comey has been subpoenaed.
I don't know if any of this will result in anything, but my stars, I need some hope.This week, we learned that the probe into the Russian conspiracy theory in Florida is moving forward with the disclosure that former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed. What is different in this probe is that it is pursuing the real Russia conspiracy -- the creation of a false narrative to kneecap the first Trump administration. At issue is what could be the greatest political hit job in history. Of course, the growing evidence of this conspiracy continues to be buried by one of its key components: the media. Nevertheless, the "truth will out," and it appears to be coming out in Florida. Headed by Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, the investigation is building on information uncovered by House and Senate committees that was long buried by the Biden administration. That evidence appears to show a knowing effort to manufacture a Russian conspiracy hoax at the urging of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Ironically, the Washington Post and the New York Times received Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting promoting this Russian conspiracy hoax. The media spent years in wall-to-wall coverage of disproven allegations, including many claims made in the debunked Steele Dossier that had been secretly funded by the Clinton campaign. The true Pulitzer Prize-worthy story was staring the media in the face the whole time: a conspiracy to create a false conspiracy narrative to elect Clinton and later to derail the Trump administration. The latter effort succeeded with help from top intelligence figures. ... Shortly before the 2016 presidential election, Peter Strzok, a key figure in the investigation, texted FBI lawyer Lisa Page to assure her "that there's no way [Trump] gets elected," adding that they "can't take that risk." He added that they had it all in hand because "It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40." In fact, whether it was known to Strzok or not, there was an insurance policy in the works. In July 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton's alleged "plan" to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as "a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server." Brennan is believed to be a target of the current investigation, including possible perjury before Congress. In reality, within days of that briefing on how Clinton would create this conspiracy theory, the investigation began, just as the Clinton campaign hoped it would. Early on, the FBI was told by the CIA that its sources -- and the Steele dossier -- were unreliable. However, key FBI officials continued the surveillance and the investigation targeting the Trump campaign and key figures. One official later pleaded guilty to lying to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to continue surveillance without an evidentiary basis. At the end of 2016, a CIA assessment found that "Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure." That presidential daily brief was scheduled to be published on Dec. 9, 2016, but the office of James Clapper, Obama's Director of National Intelligence, reportedly stopped the publication "based on some new guidance." Clapper later joined Obama, along with John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and others, in a meeting that would ultimately inject the debunked theory directly into the media. ... Back in 2016, the rewritten assessment was quickly leaked to an eagerly awaiting media. It was the perfect hit job carried out by top Obama administration officials at the very end of their time in power . In testimony on May 23, 2017, Brennan claimed that the Steele dossier "wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had. It was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done." Yet the declassified material appears to contradict that sworn statement. Brennan allegedly not only discussed the dossier but also insisted upon its inclusion in the new assessment Obama had requested. Brennan and his handpicked team went to extraordinary lengths to revive the conspiracy theory that they knew was the original objective of the Clinton campaign. Analysts complained that the reliance on the Steele Dossier "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment." One CIA analyst told investigators that Brennan "refused to remove it, and when confronted with the dossier's main flaws, [Brennan] responded, 'Yes, but doesn't it ring true?'" ... None of this will get anyone a Pulitzer, because the politics is wrong. However, it might just force the truth into the open. With Democrats promising to resume impeachments and investigations if they retake power in the midterms, it would be useful for the public to have a full understanding of what actually occurred last time. It is time for the public to learn whether top Obama officials and the media pulled off the greatest political hoax in historyJohn Brennan may be indicted for perjury. He repeatedly testified under oath that the now-heavily-discredited Steele Dossier formed no part of his fake report implicating Trump in RUSSIAN collusion, but in contemporaneous documents, he says he fought for the inclusion of the fake dossier in the report:

Documents: Partisan DC Judge Beryl Howell Had Secret Ex Parte Conversations with Fake Special Counsel Jack Smith
In a court, all communications with the judge are supposed to include counsel for both sides. So that both sides may weigh in on proposals and motions.
But Obama appointee and Democrat ringer Beryl Howell had secret ex parte communications with Jack Smith, behind Trump's lawyers' backs.Hans MahnckeHans Mahncke for The Federalist:
@HansMahncke You may have heard that anti-Trump Judge Howell had secret communications with Jack Smith, telling him she "liked" and even "loved" an omnibus approach, meaning all executive privilege claims would be decided in one sweep. The full story is even worse. At a hearing before those communications, Howell told Trump's lawyers she needed to review executive privilege claims on a case by case basis, probably because she wanted to create massive legal costs and keep anti-Trump investigations in the news by dragging them out. But as soon as Smith was appointed, she saw a chance to deliver the knockout blow and completely flipped, privately telling Smith she wanted to do a swift, all-at-once ruling. Absolutely shocking misconduct, and yet nothing will happen to her.
Chief Judge Howell Privately Endorsed Jack Smith's Get-Trump Lawfare
Behind closed doors, the judge overseeing Trump's grand jury told prosecutors she 'loved' their legal strategy. A Department of Justice briefing document released by Sen. Chuck Grassley shows that Jack Smith's special counsel team engaged in private communications with two federal judges overseeing Trump-related investigations: Chief Judge Beryl Howell and her successor, Judge James Boasberg, both Obama appointees on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and both known for their outspoken anti-Trump positions. The document was prepared for then-Attorney General Merrick Garland on Jan. 13, 2023. It was released by Grassley ahead of this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the FBI's Arctic Frost investigation into the aftermath of the 2020 election. Smith took over the investigation in November 2022, and at that point, his team likely engaged in improper communications with the two judges. According to the briefing document, Smith's team informed Garland that they had been in touch with Howell and that "She liked our approach of pursuing the executive privilege litigation in an omnibus fashion," meaning the consolidation of various motions into a single filing rather than handling each separately. The notes record that Howell was aware such a motion was coming "and loves the idea." A separate entry referenced a forthcoming meeting with Boasberg scheduled for Saturday, March 18, 2023, the day after he became chief judge, taking over from Howell. Judges are generally not allowed to privately communicate with one party in a pending case without notifying the other party. However, there are exceptions. In the dispute over President Trump's executive privilege before Howell, the issues arose in the context of grand jury proceedings. As Chief Judge overseeing grand jury administration, she and the DOJ were technically allowed to communicate without Trump's lawyers present on matters strictly related to the grand jury. Such communications could include scheduling witness testimony, addressing procedural questions, or resolving other administrative issues necessary for the grand jury to function. What they could not do in secret was discuss the substance of pending litigation, offer advice on prosecutorial strategy, signal support for one side's approach, or endorse a plan that would effectively pre-decide disputes between the parties. Expressing enthusiasm for the DOJ's omnibus strategy in executive privilege litigation falls clearly into that forbidden category.
... This forced Trump's team into a defensive posture, preparing for many separate legal battles. Yet by later secretly endorsing the DOJ's omnibus plan, she green-lit a mechanism to pierce those privileges in bulk, effectively rigging the process in the government's favor.

Trump Announces He Will Unilaterally Fund DHS and Dares Democrats to Sue to Stop Him;
Republican Senators Offer Democrats Deal, and Democrat Senators Accept
Fox:
Brilliant, Thune, you Gollum to Mitch McConnell's Sauron.
Republican Senators Offer Democrats Deal, and Democrat Senators Accept
The "deal" is exactly what you'd expect from Mitch McConnell's prison punk John Thune: Capitulation. When a Ted Cruz demands a government shut-down to advance a conservative goal, the GOPe shrieks that that's not how we do business and caves immediately. But when the Democrats shut the government down, the GOPe also caves.
Update: Commenters disagree with my hot take. I have included their dissent before the jump. But first, Trump's declaration that he will fund DHS on his own authority, citing powers under the National Emergencies Act. I don't know if the president is allowed to bypass Congress' chief power over the purse through the Emergencies Act or if it's still beyond his power. But it's only beyond his power if a judge rules it so after Democrats bring lawsuit to stop him, and I don't know if they'd have the balls to be so open about wanting to keep TSA agents unpaid as well as DHS counter-terrorism agents during a war with the terror state of Iran.Fox:
Rather than letting this play out, GOPe Senators caved and gave the Democrats what they wanted -- the TSA would be funded, but the parts of DHS that Democrats want to defund, ICE and the Border Patrol, will be defunded, just as the Democrats wanted. This is a deal? Give them everything they want?
President Trump announced on Thursday he will sign an emergency order to pay TSA agents and hopefully relieve congestion at the nation's largest airports. In a lengthy Truth Social post where he savaged Democrats for their role in refusing to fund the Department of Homeland Security, Trump said he would see that the agents are paid. "Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do!" Trump said. "I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it!," he wrote. His announcement came as Republicans and Democrats struggle to fund the department and as Transportation Security Administration employees faced a second month without a paycheck. Under the National Emergency Act, the president could order unspent government funds to be used to temporarily pay TSA employees -- a move that would bypass Congress. Republicans have the majority in the Senate but lack the 60 votes needed to advance DHS funding in the legislative process.
DHS shutdown breakthrough comes at cost for Republicans as funding fights nears endAgain, Thune is pushing the idea that he'll concede everything on the vote but he'll "make it up during budget reconciliation." But budget reconciliation requires cuts to the budget. How exactly is spending the money for CBP and ICE a budget cut? The Democrats are actually cutting the budget by defunding two agencies.
Senate Republicans are eying reconciliation as a long-term solution for ICE and CBP funding
Now it goes to the House -- and I'm sure House conservatives aren't happy about this. But what Thune has done is make it politically costly for conservatives to veto the deal. Now, Democrats will be able to say "It's the MAGA Republican shut-down!" Also, Thune has given up all leverage. The Democrats want to defund ICE and CBP. They want a wide-open border. You can only force them to fund those agencies by tying that funding to something that it is costly for them to refuse to fund -- like TSA and DHS counter-terrorism operations. But now, they have the funding for the stuff they want, and can refuse to fund the stuff they don't want with no penalty whatsoever. And Republican Senators are already warning us: BTW, this whole "reconcilliation" thing is Failure Theater Bullshit so don't expect the funding to actually pass.
Congress is one step closer to ending the Homeland Security shutdown after the Senate advanced a new, last-minute deal, but it came at the price of Republicans ceding ground, temporarily, to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The Senate unanimously advanced a deal to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the wee hours of Friday morning, 42 days into the shutdown that was spurred by the Trump administration's immigration operations in Minnesota. It was an agreement that largely gave Schumer and Senate Democrats what they wanted -- no funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). But it lacked the stringent reforms they desired, like requiring judicial warrants or requiring agents to unmask. While the deal mirrors previous attempts by Democrats to pass similar legislation that carved out immigration funding, Thune argued that Democrats are still walking away empty-handed in the policy fight over immigration enforcement. "We've been trying for weeks to fund the whole thing," Thune said. "And, I mean, in the end, this is what they were willing to agree to. But again, it's different that it has zero reforms in it. I mean, they got no reforms on DHS, which they could have had if they had been willing to work with us a little bit on that." Schumer said that if Republicans hadn't blocked their initial attempts, "this could have been done three weeks ago." "This is exactly what we wanted," Schumer said. "This is what we asked for, and I'm very proud of my caucus. My caucus held the line."
And some Republicans are already couching expectations on what can and can't be accomplished in the party-line process, given that anything in the bill has to pass muster with strict rules in the Senate. "I think we have to set our sights a little bit lower on this reconciliation bill," Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Fox News Digital. "It's got to be targeted to fund ICE for 10 years, I think that's the number one thing to us."Or possibly he's saying "I know we told you we'd pass the SAVE Act by reconciliation, which was also Failure Theater Bullshit, but now that we've got this new Failure Theater Bullshit production going, you have to accept we've got to "set our sights a little lower" and just do the ICE and CBP funding as our first-priority Failure Theater Bullshit. It's almost as if the GOPe exists to pretend to oppose the Democrats while giving the communists everything they want, and then turning to the public and saying, "All of this was done constitutionally, because the 'opposition' party did in fact agree to all of the communists' demands."
Brilliant, Thune, you Gollum to Mitch McConnell's Sauron.
If the bill doesn't include a bar on face masks, ID requirements, and a ban on ICE going into "sensitive" locations, then it's not a GOP cave, it's a Democrat cave. Those things were what Democrats wanted. They said so many times. They didn't get those things. Posted by: TheJamesMadison
Ace, I see this differently: it was the Democunts who caved, assuming this deal goes through. You can tell by how desperately they moved the goalposts. Cuck Schemer is now cheering that ... he got TSA funded at airports. The shutdown wasn't about incremental funding for ICE and BP, as ICE and BP are already funded through 2028. The shutdown was about unmasking agents, identification requirements, limits on where ICE could go, and basically making their lives hell. Dums got none of that. So they are now pretending it was always about funding TSA at airports. (Huh? They shut down the gov't over TSA?) Since TSA funding was restored -- something Trump and the GOP wanted too -- the Dums are claiming they won. This is a win for the GOP -- albeit not a 100% complete one -- and a cave for the Dums. Not the other way around. Posted by: Elric The Blade

THE MORNING RANT: Illegally Logged Wood for Wind Energy is Deforesting the Amazon Rainforest
*****
Other Stuff I’m Writing About
My latest piece at the The American Spectator has been published. “Texas and Florida Shatter the ABA’s Gatekeeping Power” discusses how Texas and Florida just became the first states to revoke the ABA’s monopoly power to grant accreditation to law schools. This matters, because only graduates of accredited law schools may take the bar exam, and the ABA has been force-feeding a woke agenda onto law schools.
This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.
It would seem odd that the environmental-left is now fully in favor of destroying the environment to produce boutique forms of non-renewable energy, but that is where we are. Of course, the reason we are here is that the high priests of the climate cult have issued their version of “just war doctrine” – specifically that whale killing, bird slaughter, and strip mining are now considered righteous and holy acts when done as sacraments of the faith.
Wind farms are especially awful. They produce zero kilowatts of baseline electricity, and they require 100% backup from reliable sources of electricity. Even worse, wind farms are causing widespread death of whales, including the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. Millions of bats and birds are also killed by wind turbines each year, including raptors and eagles whose killing is otherwise illegal. But somehow, the story keeps getting worse regarding the damage done by the wind industry. “Half a Million Balsa Trees Illegally Logged in Amazon Rainforest Every Year to Feed Global Wind Turbine Demand” [The Daily Sceptic – 3/17/2026]Over half a million balsa hardwood trees are being illegally logged in the Amazon rainforest every year to feed the massive demand for wind turbines in many parts of the world. Balsa is a lightweight but strong wood that is commonly used in the core of giant turbine blades. The annual loss of balsa trees in virgin rainforests is unnecessary ecological rape traceable back to ideologues driving a hard-Left Net Zero fantasy.Outside of farmed plantations, balsa trees have a very low density of just one or two per acre, therefore half a million trees being cut from the wild indicates vast areas being cleared of any native balsa trees. Just one three-bladed wind turbine requires about 40 balsa trees.
If there were ever any doubt that green energy / net zero is a religious cult, its adherents now *favor* whale-killing & razing the rainforest so that their holy altars - wind turbines - may be erected across every stretch of ocean & wilderness. @ComradeArthur https://t.co/pFthI1nDA4
— Buck Throckmorton (@BuckThrockmort) March 23, 2026
By 2021, to maintain accreditation, law schools had to “demonstrate by concrete action a commitment to diversity and inclusion.” This included having faculty and student bodies that were “diverse with respect to gender, race, and ethnicity.”

The Morning Report — 3/27/26
Was there just an attempt to carry out a mass casualty attack at CENTCOM headquarters? MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida is where the headquarters of CENTCOM, the United States Central Command are located. CENTCOM oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, Central Asia, and some areas of South Asia, and that means that it is involved in U.S. actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Recently, an improvised explosive device was discovered outside a gate at MacDill; it didn’t go off, but if it had, the damage could have been extensive. Was someone targeting CENTCOM? And if so, who?The more one examines this story, the more questions multiply. . . It all started on March 10, when “a 911 call warned of a bomb near the base’s visitor center. At the time, no device had been located.” Who made the call? No one knew at the time, but it turned out to be Alen Zheng, using a burner phone he bought at Best Buy. He apparently made the call in the hope of terrorizingthe people at MacDill. At the time of the call itself, however, no one at MacDill appeared to be particularly concerned about it, as nothing was found, and the people on the base went about their business. . .Were the Zhengs acting alone, out of some personal animus, or were they agents of the Chinese Communist government? Was this an attempt to disrupt CENTCOM’s operations, or just a couple of leftist nuts acting upon their hatred of the United States? If the People’s Republic was behind it, there are all sorts of reasons to downplay the incident at this time, but will any response be made? Could we at least get that program to bring over 500,000 Chinese nationals canceled?Heaven forfend, lest we be accused of resurrecting the "Yellow Peril" tropes of the 19th century. Too late, Tom Cotton went there!
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) compared President Ronald Reagan’s characterization of the Soviet Union to the reality of modern-day China, telling Breitbart News that the country is an “evil empire” and calling President Xi Jinping a “Marxist.” . . . China’s infamous Belt and Road Initiative “is just an example of how they’re trying to extend Communist Chinese influence around the world,” Cotton added.NB there are several other stories in the links about Chi-Com subversion obviously all interrelated to this one. Modern China, which aside from the trappings of 21st century technology like Islam has always had a toxic mix of imperialism and xenophbia that drives its ambitions not only to control those within its sphere of influence by keeping foreign ideas and cultures at bay by every means at their disposal, from massive walls to genocide and wars of conquest fought with both armies and by subversion. If only Truman nuked Beijing the moment the PLA crossed the Yalu River way back when, or let MacArthur Go all the way instead of sacking him. Oh well, here we are 70 odd years later. The Chinese Communist Party have in many ways far exceeded their Russian Soviet mentors and role models in this regard. Both combined have over the past century degraded our own society to the point where we are forced to endure this kind of insanity:
Over the last few years, we have seen how American universities have been shifting into a rhetoric that not only accepts “Death to America,” but is openly chanting the same slogans of the oppressive regime . . . When professors, like Samer Alatout, and academic figures use their authority to defend or legitimize the Islamic Republic of Iran, they are reinforcing the narrative of a regime defined by repression, executions, support for militant groups, and decades of promoting “Death to America.” . . . The question facing universities is not whether professors are allowed to express political views. Academic freedom protects that right. The deeper concern is what happens after students leave the classroom. When narratives promoted by professors begin to mirror the messaging of an authoritarian regime that openly calls for America’s destruction, those ideas do not remain confined to campus debates.Let's be clear. Academia, the so-called cultural elite, the Left and the Democrat Party are not merely against our attacking Iran. They have been collectively and continually shrieking "Death to America" in both word and deed for nearly 200 years. They hate America, its history, heritage, culture and people as much if not more than the Mullahs. And speaking of which and shifting gears, as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as the popular outlets listed below, things are getting muddled in Iran vis a vis what our final objective is or should be. And as we both have stated and written many many times, US boots on the ground is to say the very least not a good idea, and yet the 82nd Airborne and possibly many more are on their way to the Middle East. Could be kharg Island or perhaps somewhere else as this latest development suggests:
Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Thursday that they are ready to stand with Iran against the US and Israel, threatening to open a new front along the Red Sea that serves as a key global trade route. The Iran-backed terror group said that it would be ready to enter the fight at a moment’s notice following Tehran’s warning that the war could spread to the Bab al-Mandab Strait if the US launches a ground invasion. “We stand fully militarily ready with all options,” a Houthi leader told Reuters, suggesting the rebel group was in direct coordination with Iran.Yikes. Have a great weekend! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Daily Tech News 27 March 2026
Top Story
- Intel has been delivering interesting new products lately, with the Core 250K and Core 270K processors and the B70 Pro graphics card all providing solid performance at unmatched prices. The Core 290K processor, though - the planned new top of the line - has been unceremoniously - and now, officially - cancelled. (Tom's Hardware)
The 290K was to replace the existing 285K. But since the new 270K has already been upgraded to match the core counts of the 285K, the 290K could only offer higher clock speeds... And Intel can't offer higher clock speeds, not with these particular chips.
- Also spoiling Intel's plans is AMD with its long-awaited Ryzen 9950X3D2. (Tom's Hardware)
AMD's X3D chips have what they call "3D V-Cache", because it has triple the usual amount of cache memory, with a second memory die stacked on top of the CPU - or in the latest iteration, underneath it. Vertically. In 3D. Which is slightly redundant, yes.
The new X3D2 variant applies that to both the CPU dies in a 16-core processor. The increased cache provides its biggest performance gains for computer games - often running 30% faster than anything else - which only really use eight cores since that's what the current generation of consoles have.

Cynical PubliusOf course: Some people have the right to commit felonies and you're a racist for disagreeing.
@CynicalPublius America was nearly lost to a cabal of NGOs, think tanks, foundations, specialty media organizations, compromised mainstream media organizations, quasi-governmental organizations and all other manner of other well-funded (often with taxpayer dollars) players dedicated to preserving extra-governmental controls over the average American, all outside the scope of what Americans vote for. The men and women behind these organizations claim to want to benevolently advance public policy, when in reality their singular purpose is to maintain and grow the nefarious personal power they have achieved. Above all else they must defend their fiefdoms, the good of the nation be damned. When reformers try to undo any part of this cabal, those reformers are inevitably smeared, libeled, slandered and threatened. The goal is to prevent them from engaging in that necessary reform by intimidating them into silence. Food for thought.
Andy NgoArticle here. Speaking of people allowed to commit felonies with impunity: "Big Tish" James.
@MrAndyNgo 37m A BLM leader who was named the "Bostonian of the Year" has been ordered to pay back $224k of donations she stole after being convicted in a sweetheart deal. Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to 18 crimes but was not sent to prison. She is among a long list of BLM and leftist fraudsters who became rich on white guilt and lies.
The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has again referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, proffering allegations that New York's top cop may have falsified information on her homeowner's insurance application. ... In a letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Quinones, Pulte points to a court exhibit, an application for home insurance submitted to Ft. Lauderdale-based Universal Property Insurance, which appears to show that James claimed her Norfolk, Virginia home would be unoccupied for five months out of the year. However, James' niece reportedly told the grand jury that she was living rent-free in the home. The niece Nakia Thompson lived there for five years while she was wanted in North Carolina for failing to complete her probation, The New York Post reported. "[It] appears Ms. James made false representations that her property would be unoccupied five months out of the year," Pulte wrote. "According to the post, this was false. The house was, in fact, occupied year-round by her niece." In a separate letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Pulte says that one court document shows that James appears to have claimed to Allstate, which is based in that state, that her Virginia home would only be occupied by one individual, when public reporting indicates her niece lived there with three children. "[It] appears Ms. James made representations that the house would be occupied by a single adult, with no children. Instead, according to the post, she knew the house was actually occupied by four people - three children and her niece," Pulte wrote to U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros. "As such, it appears Ms. James may have defrauded the Illinois-based insurance company. We kindly request you authenticate and investigate this matter, if you deem appropriate," Pulte added.You may say this is a ticky-tack violation that is really about two parties entering a commercial transaction and that the proper punishment, if any is needed, would consist of the aggrieved party suing the other. But that's exactly the bullshit that "Big Tish" charged Donald Trump with -- overestimating the value of his properties as collateral in seeking a loan from Deutsche Bank. (Deutsche Bank -- Nazis!)_ And she claimed that that violation was worth, checks notes, a half-billion dollar penalty for "defrauding" Deutsche Bank in a loan that Trump paid back without incident. Chuck Schumer says he doesn't oppose asking for photo ID at the ballot box, just... proof of citizenship. Well, our cuck Senators tested his claim out and proposed an amendment requiring photo ID (but no proof of citizenship). All Democrats voted against it, of course.
Washington -- An amendment that would require voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday, despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying last week that Democrats were not opposed to such a requirement. The amendment to the elections bill needed 60 votes to advance. It was defeated in a 53 to 47 vote. The vote came during the second week of a marathon debate over a controversial elections bill known as the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and certain forms of photo ID to cast a ballot. The legislation does not have enough support to clear the 60-vote threshold in the upper chamber, but President Trump has dialed up the pressure on Senate Republicans to find a way to force it through. Schumer condemned the amendment on Thursday before the vote, arguing it would "impose the single strictest voter ID law in America." "This radical amendment would toss out every single voter ID requirement in all 50 states for federal elections and put in an overly restrictive, one-size-fits-all approach," the New York Democrat said. GOP Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio offered the amendment, which lists valid forms of photo ID as a driver's license, state-issued identification, passport, military ID or tribal ID. "The types of IDs that are sitting in wallets right now, that the American people use on a regular basis," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said in a floor speech Wednesday. Ahead of the vote, Husted called the amendment "clean, simple, straightforward," adding that there are "no additional restrictions, no tricks, no games, no prohibition on absentee voting."

Olympics Committee: We Are Reserving Women's Sports For -- and This is a Genuine Twist -- Women
The policy actually isn't 100% solid. They say that men will be excluded from women's sports -- again, what an innovation -- in sports involving "strength, power, and endurance."
So that means that transgenders would be allowed to compete in... like shooting sports and ice-dancing, maybe? Whatever. I'm linking ESPN/AP because their tears are so unfathomly delicious.They're all crying about that -- that this policy aligns with the Bad Orange Man's executive order, so, of course, this is a corrupt decision made by cowards who Hate Transwomen and want to Erase Their Existence. I just turned into Pinhead the Cenobite. Your pain, your pain is exquisite!
GENEVA -- Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women's events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy Thursday that aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
How I howl in ecstasy! Your excrutiations thrill me to the marrow!
"Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females," the International Olympic Committee said, to be determined by a mandatory gene test once in an athlete's career.
I just leveled up this Lament Configuration. I unlocked the Drink the Blood of Your Soul Achievement.
It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic level. No woman who transitioned from being born male competed at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, though weightlifter Laurel Hubbard did at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 without winning a medal. The eligibility policy that will apply from the L.A. Olympics in July 2028 "protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category," the IOC said.
Like that Iranian boxer who had a Y chromosome but claimed he was a woman because his genitals were improperly formed? How delicious! Your cries for mercy echo sweetly in my ears!
"It is not retroactive and does not apply to any grassroots or recreational sports programs," said the IOC; its Olympic Charter states that access to play sport is a human right. After an executive board meeting, the IOC published a 10-page policy document that also restricts women athletes such as two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya with medical conditions known as differences in sex development, or DSD.
ohhh ahhhh ooooh I just made a mess on my Lament Configuration. Is it supposed to buzz and blink? I think I broke the hellgate. I'm still "game," if you know what I mean. But there's no way I can go again. This isn't college. Wait -- what's this? An article from NPR! Let's see if they can "inspire" me!
The IOC and its president, Kirsty Coventry, have wanted a clear policy instead of continuing to advise sports' governing bodies, which previously have drafted their own rules. "At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat," Coventry, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, said in a statement. "So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category."
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will ban transgender athletes from competing in women's events, based on the results of mandatory genetic screening.MANDATORY GENETIC SCREENING! WHOOO, REFRACTORY PERIOD BE GONE! I'M FLYING LIKE AN ENGORGED HELLBAT AGAIN!
The topic of transgender participation in sports -- from school teams to the world stage -- has been a cultural flashpoint in recent years, though it's unclear how many transgender women currently compete at the Olympic level.Ah, we went from "it's not happening" to "it's good that it's happening" and now back to "it's not happening" again. They were forced to retreat. Every nerve in my body is ringing like a guitar string strummed by a Heavy Metal Godling.
Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard made history as the first openly transgender woman to do so in Tokyo in 2021, though no woman who transitioned after being assigned male at birth is known to have participated in an Olympics since. Nevertheless, controversy ballooned in Paris 2024 when right-wing politicians and commentators called into question the sexes of two female boxers who had been previously disqualified from boxing world championships after failing eligibility tests. One of them was cleared for competition after approval last week, while the other -- who has repeatedly identified herself as a cisgender woman -- is challenging the World Boxing testing requirement in court.I like how they refuse to say why this person would object to a genetic test. You can tell from implication, but they cannot bring themselves to write it out. SING! SING TO ME OF YOUR BLESSED DAMNATION!
Um, what about the court that found the Iranian boxer was indeed a male? Just because you refuse to say it doesn't mean that it's not true.
While the accusations were not proven true, they sparked a global debate over gender eligibility and prompted the IOC to begin the review that led to this policy. The IOC says the new rule is based on scientific evidence and "protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category."
But experts say the testing raises a multitude of concerns.EXPERTS! EXPERTS! AH YES, WHAT I WAS MISSING WAS "EXPERTS!" I'VE GOT THE LAMENT CONFIGURATION IN FUCKED-UP POSITIONS IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR!
There are questions about the reliability and cost of the testing...LOL, the most basic blood test in the world is unfair because of "costs." This is like when they claim you can't tell someone's a dude without "reaching under her skirt and feeling her genitals." Um, yeah, except athletes have to routinely take blood tests to show they're not taking performance enhancing drugs. That blood can be tested cheaply for chromosomes as well. Your anguish is intoxicating. I just started a Tumblr account under the name "PIN-DADDY."
...as well as the interpretation and finality of its results.We have to "interpret" the results of a test that has two possibilities: XX chromosomes or XY. There's so much line-drawing needed! It's like a Rorschach test -- you only see what you bring to it!
Critics of the policy say it invades the privacy of all women, and that it discriminates against intersex people whose reproductive or sexual anatomy do not fit binary definitions of male or female.I JUST BECAME A 20th-LEVEL CENOBITE I CAN NOW SUMMON HELLDRAGONS WITH A MAGIC WHISTLE AND THAT WHISTLE IS THIS REPORTER'S SKULL
Yeah but it mostly affects the male "women athletes," wouldn't you say? Not so much the female women athletes. Whew! That was hot. That was sexual fire, baby. Now I have to clean this puzzle box off and get it back to Pinhead before he realizes it's missing.
And even though the IOC says its policy does not apply to "grassroots or recreational" sports programs, some experts told NPR they fear it could affect more than just Olympic hopefuls. "If a woman suspects that she might not pass this screening, she might be deterred from pursuing sport altogether," said Jaime Schultz, a sports historian and professor of kinesiology at Pennsylvania State University. "It doesn't just affect the people that are being tested, but it affects all women athletes."

The 83-Year-Old Veteran Pushed Into the Subway Tracks by an Illegal Alien With a Long Criminal History Has Now Died of His Injuries
You defended our country, but our country refused to defend you.
He wasn't actually hit by a subway -- another man was also pushed into the subway tracks, and he ignored his own pain to get the 83-year-old veteran on to the platform before a train could run them over.
But when an 83-year-old takes a headlong fall into a seven foot trench filled with hard steel tracks, he's probably not going to survive.
This happened in Manhattan -- Soros DA Alvin Bragg's fiefdom.
The 83-year-old US Air Force veteran who was randomly shoved onto the subway tracks by an illegal migrant on the Upper East Side has died from his injuries -- and his alleged killer has been charged with murder. Grandfather Richard Williams succumbed to his injuries March 17 after he was allegedly pushed onto the tracks with another man while waiting for a train at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Station just before noon March 8, authorities and sources said. His alleged attacker, Honduran national Bairon Hernandez, 34, was arrested March 10 at a homeless shelter -- and his charges have been upgraded to second-degree murder following Williams' death, court records show.Second-degree murder in NY is the equivalent of first degree murder in most jurisdictions. They reserve first degree murder for murders of cops and judges and public officials. It's not great, but this isn't the second degree murder you're probably thinking of.
Maybe the two men thrown in front of a subway by a serial criminal illegal alien were just in the "wrong place at the wrong time"? Regarding the Chicago Alderman who said that Sheridan Gorman was "in the wrong place at the wrong time," minimizing the fact that an illegal alien who actually was in the wrong place -- get the f*** out of my country -- murdered her for nothing. This Alderwoman claimed Sheridan Gorman "startled" her killer. See, she shouldn't go startling illegal aliens out hunting co-eds. The onus was on her to not startle the illegal alien.
Prosecutors had said Williams was "brain-dead," and Williams' daughter, Debbie Williams, told The Post days after the attack her father was not likely to pull through. The medical examiner declared his death a homicide. John Pena, 30, was also shoved onto the tracks by Hernandez but ignored his own injuries and heroically helped pull Williams back onto the platform moments before a train rolled into the station. Chilling cellphone footage of the attack, apparently shot by Pena from the train tracks, shows the suspect casually strolling along the platform after pushing both men onto the subway bed. Prosecutors had previously said Williams was left "brain-dead" and his daughter, Debbie Williams, told The Post days after the attack her father was not likely to "wake up." She declined to comment Thursday on her father's death, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide. Williams' daughter previously had some choice words for the accused murderer. "I want him to go to the Venezuela prison, the worst place he could go to," she said. "I want him to suffer for the rest of his life. Prison justice would be appropriate." Williams, a retired Air Force pilot, had just won a five-year battle with prostate cancer six months ago and had found a new lease on life, she said.
... Hernandez is a "serial criminal" with a lengthy rap sheet of at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.
Libs Of Chicago
@Libs_OfChicago Alderman Maria Hadden has temporarily closed her office because she claims conservatives are calling & threatening her. While I don't completely condone that I understand why & so should she. When you say that someone killed by an illegal alien was at the wrong place & wrong time & that the community is safe despite the killer not caught by police at the time then you should expect ppl to be angry.

Operation Sorry, Charlie: Reports Claim Israel Packs Explosives Into Canned Tuna Intended for Revolutionary Guards Forces, Kills At Least Five, Injures Dozens, Puts Many Off Fish Forever
"opened" by Israeli missiles.
Iran's winning so much they're getting tired of all the winning!
Before the Food-Borne Illness Attack: Iran's Naval chief, in charge of shutting down the Strait of America and harassing ships and killing people for the past decade has himself been"opened" by Israeli missiles.
The elite Iranian naval commander who authorized the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to ship traffic was killed in an Israeli airstrike along with the service's top intelligence official, the Jewish state's military announced Thursday. Alireza Tangsiri, leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N), was eliminated in an overnight strike on the fleet's home port of Bandar Abbas, Defense Minister Israel Katz said during a morning assessment alongside military officials. Tangsiri, 64, became the latest high-profile Iranian official to have been rubbed out after the assassinations earlier this month of IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naini, the regime's de facto leader Ali Larijani, and Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the paramilitary Basij forces. Katz said the strike was meant to send a "message" to the IRGC: "The IDF will hunt you down and eliminate you one by one." In a separate statement, Adm. Brad Cooper, the leader of US Central Command (CENTCOM), said Tangsiri's death "makes the region safer" and called on members of the IRGC-N to "immediately abandon their post and return home to avoid further risk of unncecessary injury or death." "Since the commencement of Operation Epic Fury, 92% of the large ships in the Iranian Navy have been eliminated," Cooper noted. "As a result, IRGC-N has completely lost their ability to project power in the Middle East or around the world. Now, with the loss of their long-time leader, the IRGC-N is on an irreversible decline."The media will be quick to celebrate this, as it only proves that Drumpf! and his Puppet-Master Netanyahu are "getting desperate" and are isolated because they "have no Iranians left to lie to."
Iran International English
@IranIntl_En 9h An official from Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the minimum age for participation in war-related support roles has been lowered to 12, according to remarks aired on state media. Rahim Nadali, a cultural official with the Guards in Tehran, said an initiative called "For Iran" was recruiting participants to assist with activities such as patrols, checkpoints and logistics. "Given that the age of those coming forward has dropped and they are asking to take part, we lowered the minimum age to 12," he said, adding that 12- and 13-year-olds could now take part if they wished. The comments were broadcast as part of state coverage of the war effort. The move comes despite Iran's commitments under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibits the use of children in military activities.

Of Course: Pete Buttigieg Permitted Trucker Schools to "Self-Certify" That They Were Qualified to Instruct People In How to Drive Many-Ton Trucks on Our Highways
I think he said the cost for opening a "school" was $800. You paid $800, "self-certified" yourself as qualified, and you could start "training" drivers.
Oh, and of course they ignored the law requiring English language proficiency for drivers.Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 02:53 PM | Comments (174) | Trackbacks (Suck)
Trans Illegal Alien Rapes 14-Year-Old Boy, Gets Sweetheart Deal for No Jail Time from Soros DA who Persecuted Trump (and of course Probably Won't Even Be Deported)
Why won't you let him breathe, Bigot?
An illegal trans immigrant admitted Tuesday to molesting a 14-year-old boy inside the bathroom of a Manhattan bodega last year -- but won't have to do any more time behind bars. Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian immigrant who was born male, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape in Manhattan Supreme Court for sexually assaulting the teen in East Harlem last year and was promised a sentence of just six months -- which has already been served.That is, he was held in jail pre-trial, and the judge sentenced him to "time served" already -- meaning, he waltzes out of the courtroom, free to rape another child.
And of course the Soros DA will attempt to hide him from ICE.
That means the creep will be free to go at sentencing on April 27 -- unless federal immigration agents are there to slap on the cuffs again to deport them.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said the resolution was reached in close consultation with the victim's family, sparing the teenager from having to testify to both the grand jury and over several days at trial. "We expect the defendant to remain detained and be deported following sentencing, due to the felony conviction," a spokesperson for the DA's Office said in a statement.We'll see. So this is one of those Mostly Peaceful illegal aliens who didn't commit any crimes before raping a child. Well, he committed a whole bunch of "non-violent" crimes, but illegal aliens are allowed to commit those, right?
Robbery is theft by force or coercion -- mugging with a gun, for example --and I imagine the gun charges are related to the robbery. But non-violent, I'm sure. Maybe it wasn't "rape-rape"...? Nope, the boy ran out of the bathroom after his rape and screamed for help:
Suarez, who was already wanted in Massachusetts on robbery, prostitution, and weapons charges, followed the teenager into a bodega across the street from Thomas Jefferson Park on Feb. 11, 2025, and raped him, according to prosecutors.
It's unbelievable. And if you think the Soros DA will honor that detainer, you're a more trusting soul than I am.
The young victim flagged down bystanders after the attack. Suarez was arrested the next day and charged. Officials at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement later obtained a detainer to take the sex fiend into custody for deportation once the criminal case is done. "This creep should've never been released into our country," Tricia McLaughlin, then-Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary, said in a statement after the arrest.

Biden Deliberately Turned Off Money-Tracing/Payment Verification Systems for Welfare and Medicaid Payments to Fraudsters, and Minnesota Disabled Money Tracing For Welfare Funds Siphoned Out of the Country to Foreign Fraudsters
Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I recall the DNC and Obama deliberately turning off location verification for donations -- thus allowing foreigners to donate millions of dollars to them, illegally but untraceably -- and I'm also reminded of the following new revelation, that Biden deliberately turned off all money-tracing on the billions he pumped out to his Democrat fraudster voters and illegal alien pirates.
I had a big whoopsie on the first version of the post-- I see that I just covered what Charlie Brown's Dildo covered. I always forget to check!
So let me just include the stuff I think CBD didn't include.Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I recall the DNC and Obama deliberately turning off location verification for donations -- thus allowing foreigners to donate millions of dollars to them, illegally but untraceably -- and I'm also reminded of the following new revelation, that Biden deliberately turned off all money-tracing on the billions he pumped out to his Democrat fraudster voters and illegal alien pirates.
Eric DaughertyAnd the entire state of Minnesota deliberately disabled its ability to check for welfare/Medicaid fraud:
@EricLDaugh HOLY CRAP. Health Sec. RFK Jr. revealed that the Biden White House ORDERED HHS to ignore fraud -- and just focus on enrolling as many people on welfare as possible, legal or illegal "One of the things that I found out from people in my agency was they were ordered by the Biden White House not to do program integrity -- in other words, not to enforce against fraud." "And they said, they were told we want to focus on only enrollment and getting more and more people into the system!" This is a jaw-dropping betrayal of America. Root out all the fraud!
Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes HOLY CR*P 🚨 Minnesota Rep Krista Knudsen says they just found out the state TURNED OFF tracking for money being sent overseas They turned it on for 2 weeks. Saw all the money leaving, and Democrats quickly SHUT OFF TRACKING to allow it to keep happening READ THAT AGAIN "Today in the fraud committee, the Department of Human Services testified that they haven't been tracking the IP addresses of money that's being literally flown out of our state and where it's going. They did turn on that reporting for 2 weeks, and they found that yes, a lot of those IP addresses were tied to overseas computers, and then they quickly shut it off after just 2 weeks of seeing where this money is actually going" "Every time we turn around, it's just more and more fraud scandals in our state"

The Morning Rant: Why USAID Needed To Be Destroyed
That is most likely a tried-and-true method of funding domestic political efforts, and if the usual suspects were investigated, does anyone think that they wouldn't be found to have taken taxpayer money laundered this way? BLM, probably Antifa, the thousands of voter-registration and vote-casting scams run in the inner cities, the homeless boondoggle, transsexual lunacy in our schools, academia's frantic rush to the left...all funded by American taxpayers!
I wonder whether the unelected bureaucrats who spent so much of our money had a stable of pet companies that were willing to participate in these money-laundering escapades for a cut? Biden's 10% might have been peanuts! I want the names of those companies! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!
“The Ukrainian Government and unspecified U.S. Government personnel, through USAID in Kyiv, reportedly developed a plan that would provide hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90% of funds allocated to the DNC to fund Joe Biden’s reelection campaign,” the declassified summary of the intercepts stated. “They were confident the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At this time, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose,” the report added.

“The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track,” the declassified summary stated. “Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify. In this manner, most of the U.S. funding would be diverted to Joe Biden’s election campaign without the ability to track where exactly the funds came from.”

The Morning Report — 3/26/26
First up, degenerate scumbag one:
I have to disagree with the estimable Miranda Devine's assertion that "They don’t necessarily kill anyone" - - abortion alone has snuffed out thousands of lives. The grisly former abattoir of Kermit Gosnell all by itself butchered scores of infants, many actually born alive on his table. Tragically he's just one example. "It cannot be stated often and loudly enough. Everything wrong with this country, all the pain, misery, suffering, death, bloodshed, violence, discord, dissolution and wastage of life and human potential is the fault of Leftist Democrats and their policies. They have lain waste to America for over 200 years in their goal of seizing and maintaining absolute power. Unless and until the Anti-American Left and its epicenter of political power the Democrat Party is utterly demolished, we and our children and grandchildren shall never know a moment's peace and will face an existential, generational threat to our lives and liberty for all time. Ditto Islam, of course. Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
First up, degenerate scumbag one:
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) doubled down on protecting illegal aliens, a week after 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien. During a press conference on Wednesday, where Johnson unveiled an “Abolish ICE” snowplow, Johnson was asked if he had reconsidered “rescheduling this event” after the death of Gorman. “This is a terrible tragedy, and what I’ve said from the very beginning, I’m going to continue to use every single tool that’s available to me to protect the residents of the city of Chicago,” Johnson said. “This tragedy is not going to deter us from our work. In fact, it’s going to challenge us all to double down on our efforts to ensure that we are protecting every single individual across neighborhoods.” The unveiling of the snowplow with “Abolish ICE” on it came after a “citywide contest to name six new salt trucks,” according to the Chicago Tribune.“Abolish ICE” was “submitted over 9,000 times,” according to the outlet.And next there's this slithering cancer:
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) threatened to prosecute U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents deployed at the airport if they acted inappropriately. . . “I will put you in handcuffs and I will put you in a courtroom, and if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell…” Krasner has a long history of threatening federal immigration agents, comparing them to Nazis and stating that he will “hunt them down.”Meh, we're going to need a bigger gallows! Much much bigger!!!!
Democrat lies will get us killed. The false narratives they peddle through their media handmaidens end up distorting reality and poisoning people’s minds. Exhibit A is their rancid defamation campaign about Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, which mirrors precisely their long-running lies about “systemically racist police” that led to the deadly riots of 2020 and Defund the Police policies that drove up the homicide rate and endangered communities across the country. We see how it works this week as the mendacious trio of Connecticut Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate counterpart Chuck Schumer claimed in unison that ICE agents helping ease TSA lines at airports this week will “brutalize and kill” you and kidnap your children. In fact, ICE agents are kindly giving stranded passengers bottles of water, helping with their luggage, and performing tasks that free up TSA workers who have just missed their third paycheck — thanks to the Democrats. . . The sole aim of Democrats is to punish Americans for voting Trump into office. Dems get away with it by shameless lying and then pretending they are paragons of truthfulness. They smear ICE agents as Gestapo, white supremacists, Nazis and “secret police” with the objective of turning the American public against them. Trump’s gambit of placing ICE in airports to ease the pain of travelers is a challenge to the lies, because now people can see the agents are not the monsters they have been painted. . . Democrat lawmakers like Jamie Raskin and Adam Schiff and their slavish legal minions use their silver tongues to tell the most corrosive lies and cover up Democrat crimes. Whether it’s falsely accusing Trump of being a Russian agent and “inciting an insurrection,” or lying that Joe Biden was innocent despite slam-dunk evidence he was up to his neck in his family’s lucrative foreign-influence peddling, or pretending “the border is closed” and that the botched Afghanistan withdrawal was a “success,” or claiming that defunding the police will make communities safer — they always find a way to excuse the inexcusable, and flip the script. . . Then there are the little cheating, self-aggrandizing lies that Dems like Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren and Tim “Stolen Valor” Walz and Joe “Corn Pop” Biden indulge in. Sheridan Gorman was walking with friends on the Chicago lake shore where Pritzker once filmed a video extolling the safety of his crime-ridden sanctuary city.
Hadden said Gorman and friends “might have unintentionally startled” a masked gun-toting Jose Medina-Medina into allegedly jumping out of the bushes and shooting Gorman in the back as she ran from him.
Don’t blame us!
Hadden later apologized but her point was clear.
Don’t blame the Democrats for sanctuary city policies.
It’s your own fault if you get killed. . . . They don’t necessarily kill anyone but they add to the miasma of dishonesty we are drowning in. At their worst, Democrat lies that are laundered for years through once-trusted media outlets are the cause of polarization and political violence tearing this country apart.
I have to disagree with the estimable Miranda Devine's assertion that "They don’t necessarily kill anyone" - - abortion alone has snuffed out thousands of lives. The grisly former abattoir of Kermit Gosnell all by itself butchered scores of infants, many actually born alive on his table. Tragically he's just one example. "It cannot be stated often and loudly enough. Everything wrong with this country, all the pain, misery, suffering, death, bloodshed, violence, discord, dissolution and wastage of life and human potential is the fault of Leftist Democrats and their policies. They have lain waste to America for over 200 years in their goal of seizing and maintaining absolute power. Unless and until the Anti-American Left and its epicenter of political power the Democrat Party is utterly demolished, we and our children and grandchildren shall never know a moment's peace and will face an existential, generational threat to our lives and liberty for all time. Ditto Islam, of course. Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
