The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
*****
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Nimrod)
1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice. Say a prayer or three for our Morons to survive the winter weather blasting the country.
3) If you must run with sharp objects. Take it outside.

- Yeah, I'm going to stay right here in my insulated, double-glazed, air-conditioned bunker for a week.
- You can get an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D, an Asus X870 motherboard, and 32GB of RAM for $939 at Newegg right now - and even get a bonus mouse. (Tom's Hardware)
That's a $480 CPU, a $300 motherboard, and memory that did cost around $100 but suddenly finds itself at $440. And a $125 mouse that isn't worth $125 or it wouldn't be included for free.
- Just one small problem: Asus is currently reviewing - though not recalling - all of its 800-series motherboards over a string of failures specifically involving the 9800X3D CPU. (Tom's Hardware)
ASRock has been battling this for months. It's rare, but seems to keep happening.
- Oh, and the faster 9850X3D is here. (Notebook Check)
It's only slightly faster, but it's only slightly more expensive. If you were planning on a 9800X3D build - or upgrading an existing system that already has DDR5 RAM - it's not a compelling option but not an awful one either.

I hope those of you impacted by the storm are keeping warm and safe. I've got gas, kerosene, propane, generators, oil lamps, firewood and winter clothing, so we should be snug and warm here, even if the rest of Texas loses it's mind. In the meantime, here's a little advice:

The Week In Woke
Fat Female Webster Impersonator Jasmine Ratchet is now posing as rootin'-tootin' rightwing patriot, saying that she "owns firearms" and that she's driven a farm vehicle at some point. She is a farm vehicle. I don't really know what that means but she is very heavy.
This Person Place or Thing has a dream: He wants to be the first tranny to receive a womb transplant, so that he can then have an embryo implanted, and then abort it. I have no idea why the public has turned on these nasty psychotics. None at all.
Trans-crazy baby-influencer "Miss Rachel" -- she makes videos "teaching" little children about how great transgenderism is -- liked an antisemitic comment demanding, "Free America from the Jews."
She later "apologized," claiming it was an accident. But then when a Hamas-linked account wrote that the Jews left that antisemitic "Free America from Jews" comment themselves, Miss Rachel affirmed that comment, writing "ooooooohhh." Like, "oooooooohhh, nice catch, you caught those tricky Jews!" She's very apologetic, though. These are all just little accidents.
Jennifer Sey
@JenniferSey When I became the Chief Marketing Officer at Levi's, at about 2 months in, I had some mid-level know it all come into my office to tell me everyone hated me, I was steering the ship into oblivion. She told me everyone knew I was doing a terrible job. (The brand had been in decline for over 10 years.) What I had done in my first two months: 1) Say no one could go on trips anymore unless they had a role at the photo shoot or event. No more boondoggles. 2) No drinking at events or concerts we were hosting. We were there to work, not party. 2) Say Marketing needed to feature actual product in the ads. 3) Say we needed to move away from dark and moody and into the realm of fun - because people have fun in jeans. Awful, right?! She wanted me to know, she said, she was trying to help. (She put her feet on my desk while saying this.) Needless to say, this was not a person who was very good at her job. And I wasn't doing mine to be liked so I didn't care if "everybody hated me". I was trying to turn a business around that had been flailing. I took the responsibility seriously. Six years later, we had a very successful IPO. 2 years after that I became the brand president. These people complaining about new leadership are lame. They always do it. They want it how it was, even if how it was wasn't working. And it's even lamer that @Variety writes about this like it's news. Keep going @bariweiss.

Died Suddenly"Hello, I am a biological woman and if you can't accept that you're delusional." Inez Stepman responding to "Conserving Conservatism" Bill Kristol's claim that he has known many men who successfully transformed into women:
@DiedSuddenly_ A Pakistani doctor was arrested in Virginia for performing c-sections and hysterectomies on unsuspecting American women when they were most vulnerable. He would wait for them to be under the influence of labor medication and sterilize them after delivery of their babies. The hospital reportedly ignored red flags for years, overlooking concerns and reports because he generated over 18 million dollars in revenue for the hospital. If you are an American, think twice about hiring a foreign doctors from countries that hate us.
Inez StepmanBTW I do believe that Bill Kristol has frequent interactions with men in dresses. AWFL mother scares her three and five year old shitless by telling them fake stories about ICE "just trying to take all the immigrants" and shooting random lesbians. Virginia Democrat: Republicans will bring back slavery unless we redistrict and gerrymander the state to eliminate all Republican congressmen.
@InezFeltscher The trajectory of the "conservative condemning the right" is basically the same one trod by porn actresses. The first time you open your kimono is the most valuable, and thereafter you find yourself doing increasingly humiliating and degrading acts just to stay relevant.

Microplastics: The Invisible Killers
Or, You Know, Maybe Not
Or, You Know, Maybe Not
The great microplastics panic: Was it all just 99% bullshit?
I know a lot of you are saying "of course it was, dipshit." I kinda-sorta bought into it at a low level. Microplastics were claimed to be a potential disruptor of testosterone. I didn't buy into it seriously, but I did buy steel straws instead of plastic ones. That's a pretty low level of buy-in. I think they cost me six buck. After at least a decade or two of telling everyone their bodies were filled up with microscopic plastic chains in our brains, internal organs, and balls, some scientists now say it's mostly bullshit, the tests the alarmists are relying on can't tell "microplastics" from ordinary bodily fat.So, plastics are mostly made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, which are of course the building blocks of living tissue, too. So the "signals" are just indicating that carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen are present, and these high priests of The Science (TM) are saying "Must be plastic!!!"
'A bombshell': doubt cast on discovery of microplastics throughout human body
Exclusive: Some scientists say many detections are most likely error, with one high-profile study called a 'joke'
High-profile studies reporting the presence of microplastics throughout the human body have been thrown into doubt by scientists who say the discoveries are probably the result of contamination and false positives. One chemist called the concerns "a bombshell". Studies claiming to have revealed micro and nanoplastics in the brain, testes, placentas, arteries and elsewhere were reported by media across the world, including the Guardian. There is no doubt that plastic pollution of the natural world is ubiquitous, and present in the food and drink we consume and the air we breathe. But the health damage potentially caused by microplastics and the chemicals they contain is unclear, and an explosion of research has taken off in this area in recent years. However, micro- and nanoplastic particles are tiny and at the limit of today's analytical techniques, especially in human tissue. There is no suggestion of malpractice, but researchers told the Guardian of their concern that the race to publish results, in some cases by groups with limited analytical expertise, has led to rushed results and routine scientific checks sometimes being overlooked. The Guardian has identified seven studies that have been challenged by researchers publishing criticism in the respective journals, while a recent analysis listed 18 studies that it said had not considered that some human tissue can produce measurements easily confused with the signal given by common plastics.

Leftwing Lunatics Now Pushing Pregnancy Denialism, Claiming That Trump Must Be Faking the Three Recent Pregnancies In His Administration
Second Lady (and "jeet," according to Tucker Carlson's friend Nick Fuentes) Usha Vance announced that she's pregnant.
She'll be the first Second Lady to give birth while in office in 150 years.Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President J.D. Vance, has already made history in a few ways: she's the first person of color to become Second Lady and the youngest Second Lady since the Truman Administration. She may also soon be the first sitting Second Lady in modern history to bear a child in over 150 years. "We're very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy," the Vice President shared on social media Tuesday. "Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July." In the message, the Vice President thanked military doctors for "[taking] excellent care of our family" and staff members "who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children." J.D., 41, and Usha, 40, met at Yale University and married in 2014. They have three kids: Ewan, 8; Vivek, 5; and Mirabel Rose, 4. Before Usha Vance, the only sitting Second Lady in modern history to give birth was President Ulysses S. Grant's Vice President Schuyler Colfax's wife Ellen, who had a son in 1870; birth records before then are unclear. The Trump White House extended its congratulatory message to the Vances, and in a post on X, called itself "The most pro-family administration in history!" Vance, in particular, is an outspoken pro-natalist. He has sounded the alarm on declining birthrates, branded Democrats as "childless cat ladies" and "anti-family and anti-child," and called Americans' lack of desire to have children as a "civilizational crisis."In May, press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that she was pregnant with her second child. This will be the first child born to a sitting press secretary in history. All of this was too much for leftwing women and their haunted vaginas filled with the ghosts of aborted babies, who decided this must be some kind of conspiracy. Why, getting pregnant just isn't something women do! (It's what men do!)

Medicaid Administrator Dr. Oz: We Tried to Investigate Fake Businesses Bilking the Taxpayers and We Were Followed, Harrassed, and Intimadated by a Gang of Somalis
He doesn't say "Somalis," but it's implied by circumstances.
From David Strom at Hot Air, digesting this interview at Alpha News.I think he means that there are 400 different "businesses" in the one building.
It seems systemic in its nature. The building that we visited together, Griggs building was a textile factory, became an office building. It's not a nice part of town. I wouldn't take my kids there to get cared for, frankly, do much else in business, but somehow they had 400. Medicaid, uh, offices doing business with Medicaid, charging almost $400 million to the taxpayer.
That means basically each of those business made a million dollars. You wouldn't walk in this building in the seedy part of Minneapolis. And so I suspect there might have been others who knew this was happening. Certainly, uh, collaborating with these folks, maybe even, I wonder, you know, folks who in the building, the neighborhood, I mean, someone knew. Then you start getting into the broader issue. We just talked to whistleblowers, which is chilling. You see the retaliate, the, the re retaliatory tactics, the shuffling around of people who are trying to put their hands up and say, I see a problem. But at its very core, there has been a, a confusion about what it really means to work in healthy human services in Minnesota. It's not a partnership with vendors. You are the regulator. It is your job to make sure there are limited opportunities that the fraud, the taxpayer, or if you create services, and these are Minnesota nice services and Minnesota nice people, services don't have a lot of guardrails. You know, you don't have to attest to very much. You have to just say you're trying to do things. You don't have to put your name in any forms. It's hard to regulate that and then the people doing the regulations aren't comfortable doing it. What they found in this document is that the, the majority of folks didn't think they could do the job and in over half the cases there was suspicion. There was rule, you know, reason for caution. Things didn't seem what, what they're supposed to be. That's half to more than half the cases from the state government's auditor telling us this. So anybody out there in the legislators, a average citizen, we were chased out of buildings by car, honking people, giving us the finger, you know, following us, following us, following us, trying to intimidate us.

State Department Schedules Hamas Agent and Permanent "Student" Mahmoud Khalil's Deportation to His Actual Home Country of Algeria
But for the moment, Mahmoud's getting the boot.
But for the moment, Mahmoud's getting the boot.
The most infamous foreign student activist against Israel and for Hamas at an American university could finally face deportation. While the Trump administration has tried to deport Columbia University student and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil more than once, woke judges have interfered, and the Trump administration has agreed to follow their ridiculous demands on Khalil's behalf. But a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official indicated Wednesday evening that Khalil's destination after deportation is tentatively settled. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on NewsNation's Katie Pavlich Tonight on Wednesday, "It looks like he'll go to Algeria. That's what the thought is right now." She followed up with a more widely applicable caution: "It's a reminder for those who are in this country on a visa or on a green card. You are a guest in this country -- act like it." Importantly, the Trump administration accuses Khalil of committing fraud on his green card application. And, of course, the federal government can revoke a visa or green card from anyone who shows himself a threat to our national security by supporting foreign terrorist entities, or by deliberately riling up social unrest, as Khalil did. Residing and studying in America as a foreign national is a privilege, not a right.

Dutch Progressives Forced 125 Young Students to Share a Hostel with 125 Migrants, Believing They Would "Learn from Each Other."
What Was Taught Was Mostly Stabbings and Rapes.
And the police just couldn't find any evidence of any crimes. I think I've heard this story before.
And speaking of the Netherlands: Trans lunatics fleeing Trump's Genocide have wound up in dirty refugee camps in the Netherlands. Along with Muslim "refugees." Where I'm sure they're being treated with the level of respect and deference they demand.
What Was Taught Was Mostly Stabbings and Rapes.
Another beautiful commingling with Cultural Enrichment Shock Troops.
Students were raped after being forced to live in complex alongside 125 refugees to 'aid integration': Terrified Dutch youngsters 'were subjected to years of sex assaults and violence' By PERKIN AMALARAJ, FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Terrified Dutch students made to live side-by-side with 125 refugees to aid their 'integration' were subjected to years of sexual assault and violence, an investigation has reported. Stek Oost, located in the Watergraafsmeer district of Amsterdam, was sold to the Netherlands as the dream solution to the housing and refugee crisis. A total of 125 students and 125 refugees would live alongside each other, and were even encouraged to 'buddy up' so the migrants would adapt to life in the Netherlands more quickly. But students living there told Dutch investigative documentary programme Zembla they faced multiple sexual assaults, harassment, violence, stalking and even claimed a gang rape had taken place. One woman said she would regularly see 'fights in the hallway and then again in the shared living room'. A man told the programme that a refugee threatened him with an eight-inch kitchen knife. And they claimed they were ignored despite filing multiple reports to authorities. In one shocking case, a former resident said that a Syrian raped her after inviting her to his room to watch a film then refusing to let her leave. The woman, identified only as Amanda, said: 'He wanted to learn Dutch, to get an education. I wanted to help him.'
Amanda described how he asked her several times to come to his room. She eventually relented and agreed to watch a film with him. However, he soon made her uncomfortable and she asked to leave, only for him to trap her in his room and sexually abuse her. Despite her filing a police report following the incident in 2019, police dropped the case due to a lack of evidence. But just six months later, another woman living in Stek Oost raised the alarm over the Syrian, telling the housing association that runs the complex that she was concerned for the safety of herself and other women living there. But the local authority, which had set up the arrangement, claimed it was impossible for the man to be evicted, the Zembla documentary claims. It was only when he was formally arrested in March 2022 that he left the student-refugee complex. He was later convicted of raping Amanda and another resident, and was sentenced to just three years in prison in 2024. ... In another horrifying case reported by the programme, Stadgenoot, the firm that runs the complex, suspected a 'gang rape' took place in one of its flats the summer of 2023.
And the police just couldn't find any evidence of any crimes. I think I've heard this story before.
Police told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that while it was not aware of any gang rape taking place on the premises, it did say it had received seven reports of sexual assault. Since opening in 2018, Stek Oost has faced multiple similar allegations. In 2022, Dutch TV station AT5 reported that a refugee had been accused of six sex attacks between 2018 and 2021.Via Steve Turley, who notes the distinct similarities to the Rotherdam Rape Gangs and police and government accomplices.
He was involved in a protracted legal battle with local authorities, who fought to force him to leave Stek Oost. For its part, Stadgenoot wanted to shut the complex down as early as 2023, but the local authority refused.
And speaking of the Netherlands: Trans lunatics fleeing Trump's Genocide have wound up in dirty refugee camps in the Netherlands. Along with Muslim "refugees." Where I'm sure they're being treated with the level of respect and deference they demand.
Americans who fled to the Netherlands in a bid to escape the Trump administration are now living in filthy refugee camps, it has emerged. According to Dutch immigration authorities, 76 US citizens claimed asylum in the country last year, a significant increase from the nine that did in 2024. Many of those who have left are transgender or parents to transgender children and are housed in the 'queer block' of an overcrowded camp in the northern village of Ter Apel, The Guardian reported. The camp, which resembles a prison, has guards stationed at every gate and offers less than desirable amenities. Residents have complained that the tiny college-dorm-like rooms they are provided are covered in graffiti, with some alleging that they suspect bodily fluids have been smeared on the walls. Asylum seekers are permitted to leave the camp, but must be present for daily bed checks. They are also given a small allowance so they can purchase food and cook meals in the communal kitchen. Many of the American refugees are transgender and are seeking asylum after allegedly being victims of hostility and discrimination in their home states. But the Dutch ministry of asylum and migration has so far deemed that the alleged mistreatment of the LGBTQ community in the US is not grounds for refugee status, according to The World.I totally believe all of these things happened.
... Elliot Hefty, 37, a transgender man seeking asylum in the Netherlands, claimed he decided to move after being attacked in the middle of a Kentucky street. He told the World how a man pushed him to the ground during a lunchtime walk and yelled slurs at him, as 'I was left alone bleeding in the middle of the street.' He also alleged that he was removed from his client-facing role with Medicaid after Trump assumed office, claiming that 'brown and visibly queer folks' are now only allowed to work in administration roles. The Daily Mail was not able to independently verify Hefty's allegation but has contacted Medicaid for comment. The 37-year-old further claimed that he was denied service at shops with owners saying that 'my "tranny money" was no good here.' Actor and visual artist Veronica Clifford Carlos, 28, flew to Amsterdam in June last year to seek asylum after receiving daily death threats in San Francisco. San Diego resident Jane Michelle Arc, 47, painted a similar picture, alleging that she was 'getting punched or pushed or shoved every single week' while walking the city streets. Arc moved to the Netherlands in April after having been hospitalized for assault.
Gayle Carter-Stewart, who moved her transgender teen Nox to the country from Montana last April, said their asylum application was 'automatically rejected because America is considered a safe country of origin' Ashe Wilde, 40, fled Massachusetts, which she admitted is 'one of the most liberal states' and a place where officials are working to 'preserve our identities across the queer spectrum.' But she was still physically and verbally attacked in her community, telling the Guardian how she was dubbed a 'pedo and a groomer.'

Jack Smith Defends His Indefensible Political Witch-Hunt; Even CNN's Legal Analyst Admits Smith Is Guilty
C3Brandon Gill grilled Jack Smith on three points: 1, why he had sought the phone records of the incoming Speaker of the House, extending back a year, when he had just become speaker 16 days earlier. This makes it look very much look like a purely political witch-hunt, as Johnson did not have power to run interference for Trump before hand. 2, why he sought these phone records in defiance of a warning from a Biden attorney that doing so would be a violation of the Speech and Debate Clause. (A clause which says that no member of Congress shall be subject to legal process for any statement they make in Congress (later extended to cover any statement they make outside of Congress, so long as it's part of their work as a congressman.) 3, why he claimed that Mike Johnson was a "flight risk" when he told Johnson's phone company to hide the fact that his records had been granted to a third party. Jack Smith claimed that keeping this secret was necessary to make sure that Johnson did not take flight from prosecution. He now admits that Johnson was no flight risk.
@C_3C_3 Want your blood to boil? The Jack Smith Investigation cost taxpayers over $35 million. $35,000,000 All based on a scam. Targeting enemies. With 65% of that $35million paying their salaries. Jack and his team got rich for sedition.
Jack Smith is asking to have questions re-asked because each congresman only has five minutes total time, and he wants to waste as much Republican time as possible endlessly repeating and clarifying questions.
Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson If you watch one moment from Jack Smith's testimony in Congress today, watch him get reduced to a stuttering, stammering mess when confronted with his own LIES: GILL: "The subpoena covered the time period between November 2020 and January 2021. Is that right?" SMITH: "Uh, I'm sorry, sir, could you say that again?" GILL: "We're not gonna delay like this."
GILL: "How many days after Kevin McCarthy was sworn in as Speaker did you subpoena his records? SMITH: "Uh, I don't recall, but those two things had nothing to do with one another." GILL: "It was 16 days after becoming the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, you subpoenaed his toll records. Do you agree that that might reasonably be considered a violation of the Speech or Debate Clause?" SMITH: "Uh, I do not" GILL: "At the time you, you secured those non-disclosure orders, was Speaker McCarthy a flight risk?" SMITH: "He was not." GILL: "He was not. Then why did your non-disclosure order refer to him as a flight risk? It says right here, 'The court finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in flight from prosecution.' You were using clearly false information to secure a non-disclosure order to hide from Speaker McCarthy and from the American people the fact that you were spying on his toll records."

The Morning Report — 1/23/26
No, it's not an insurrection Mr. Vice President. It's merely the latest eruption of violent anti-American revolution from within.
Several emergency declarations have already been issued as a massive winter storm barrels toward more than 35 states, putting more than 200 million people in its path and threatening “considerable disruption” across the US. Texas, Georgia and the Carolinas were the first to issue preemptive emergency declarations after the National Weather Service warned that “nearly everyone east of the Rockies” will be affected by snow, ice, or cold from Friday into early next week. The potentially historic winter storm, dubbed Winter Storm Fern, is expected to span more than 2,000 miles, putting more than 200 million people at risk of crippling snow and travel chaos starting Thursday night.Please be safe, avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary and take all appropriate precautions, especially if you live in an area that typically does not experience severe/extreme winter conditions and you and your vehicles aren't used to dealing with it. With that out of the way, the metaphor of cold and ICE could not be more appropriate. VP JD Vance visited the front line of the war being waged to eliminate our national sovereignty and in point of fact to erase America as founded.
Vice President JD Vance doesn’t believe there’s a need to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota for the time being, he told The Daily Wire on Thursday. Vance touched down in Minneapolis, meeting with federal immigration officers to assess the chaos on the ground. For weeks following the fatal shooting of an ICE watch activist, left-wing agitators have followed federal agents arresting illegal immigrants across the Twin Cities trying to thwart their actions.Given the incitement and the loud proclamations of Democrat leaders from Walz to Frey and Pritzker and others that they will refuse to cooperate with ICE and other Federal Law enforcement officials in enforcing our laws to protect our sovereignty and citizenry, by virtually ordering their own police forces to physically confront and thwart their efforts. If that is not a green light for the Democrat Party's organized or even lone wolf street thugs and brain damaged fools to physically attack ICE officers . . then I now give you this massive dog-whistle cum Fuhrer Befehl declaring open season on ICE agents.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws. The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers. “It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said in the Monday interview, calling ICE “very poorly trained.” “And we have a Stand Your Ground law that says that if you reasonably believe that your life is in danger and you’re in your house or your car or on your property, that you can defend yourself with lethal force.” A flabbergasted Resnik repeatedly challenged Mayes, cautioning that her remarks could be interpreted as a “license” to residents to shoot a federal agent. She shot back that she was merely stating a “fact,” not encouraging violence. “If you’re being attacked by someone who is not identified as a peace officer — how do you know?” the state’s top prosecutor pressed, adding that “real cops don’t wear masks.” “I mean if somebody comes at me wearing a mask, by the way, I’m a gun owner, and I can’t tell whether they’re a police officer, what am I supposed to do? No, I’m not suggesting people pull out their guns, but this is a don’t tread on me state.” The attorney general, who was elected in 2022, unleashed her jaw-dropping comments as immigration officers begin to spread into parts of the Grand Canyon State. . . . She vowed to prosecute any ICE agent who violates state laws after operations in Minnesota sparked widespread unrest when an federal officer fatally shot protester Renee Nicole Good when she clipped him with her car during a heated confrontation on Jan. 7. Arizona GOP Rep. David Schweikert blasted the attorney general, calling her rhetoric “reckless.”
No, it's not an insurrection Mr. Vice President. It's merely the latest eruption of violent anti-American revolution from within.
To conservatives, it might appear at first blush that these anti-ICE radicals and DNC Commiecrats are all about the F word. It seems to reflect unimaginable rage and irrational hysteria relating to an issue about which the radicals are so passionate that all reasonable expression is abandoned. Don’t be lulled into believing, though, that the beginning and end of these incoherent, obscene rants is that they’re suffering from some serious lack of creative expression or a mind-wiping anger. It’s more than that. They have a mission beyond the superficial rage they would have us focus on. . . When the left protests, there’s more than rage or frustration. There’s seething enmity. We saw it with the Pussy March when Trump was first elected, during the impeachments and prosecutions levied against him, during the George Floyd/BLM/DEI protests, and now with the ICE insanity. Every time a congressional Commiecrat, the governor of a blue state, or the mayor of a blue city speaks, bile drips out all over. Journalists and talk show hosts spew their anti-anything American venom daily and with impunity. Don Lemon did it at the church invasion in Minnesota and then brazenly lied and hid behind his immunity as a “journalist” and the fact that he is a gay, black man. Do I hear Jussie Smollett, anyone? It’s more than rage about the issues or mental illness, prescription meds, weed, or street drugs driving the behavior. It’s even more than demonic possession. Again, these are the things they want us to perseverate on, while they pursue their mission: a collective determination to destroy. It’s easy to think of our Commiecrats as zombie-like, reacting in lockstep, converging on something en masse, walking in hordes over cliffs and into raging rivers. The impression they give is that they’re not responsible for their actions. That lets them off too easily. . . They don’t do this merely out of rage about an issue but because it is the only path to revolution and cannot be brought about by polite debate and collegial cooperation. . . They don’t need the facts or stats, logic, or reasoning to accomplish their goals. Just a place to compulsively and convulsively shout “F you” while destroying everything in their way—not just buildings and property, but love of country, American culture, and resilience—courageously remaking this nation as they believe it should be, as Obama once said. So, when you hear a Karen ranting, “F you,” it’s not anger about the American Dream slipping away, but about the fury needed for their Marxist Utopian Dream. And make no mistake: they relish in that fury. If you doubt me, listen to Minnesota Church Stormer-in-Chief William Kelly rant about death threats against him, inviting people to “Go ahead, kill me...because...you can kill the revolutionary, but you can’t kill the Revolution.”Beyond merely the droogs and deadhead scum that are the tip of the spear, this nation needs to be absolutely purged from sea to shining sea of everything and everyone of the Left, including the complete dismantling of the Democrat Party and most especially the malign influence of our schools. If we fail, it will be our undoing. This madness ends with us or it ends us.
As tensions rise in Minneapolis and other sanctuary cities and ICE officers confront violent protestors in the line of duty, some teachers are indoctrinating their students to believe the left’s woke narratives—even when they are demonstrably false. At Manson Northwest Webster High School in Iowa, a language arts teacher, identified by other outlets as Kim Keller, was caught in an audio recording delivering a virulent partisan diatribe to her class in which she accused ICE agents of murdering Renee Nicole Good—and told her students they would likely be next. The teacher begins by scolding her class for allegedly laughing at TikTok videos about the incident: “Then why are you laughing? Because that is what is happened [sic]. And if you do not process that, you need to process that right now.” The angry tirade that follows is full of misrepresentations and outright lies.The school is not on the Upper West Side of Mamdani's Manhattan but in Iowa. Trouble in River City folks. Have a great weekend. Again, stay warm and stay safe! 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.

- The backlash to the supposed Republican renaissance and sweeping cultural conservative agendas is here. . . Across the country, the jargon of wokeness invented on campuses is spilling back out into the broader culture again, much like it did in 2020. . . The truth is, the right declared victory too early. Wokeness never died. . . It’s the weed that grows back stronger. We ignore it at our own peril.
Woke never really died, it’s coming back with a vengeance — and we should be terrified - A powerful follow-up surge of Arctic air tied to the polar vortex will follow closely behind, creating dangerous refreezing conditions that could lead to prolonged power outages and bring travel to a near standstill for several days, according to the FOX Forecast Center.

Top Story
- With the tech world embroiled in AI frenzy and every major chipmaker hitching its wagon to the fashion and recording record sales and record profits while the bubble lasts, it is comforting to see one company bucking the trend and... Recording declining sales and an unprofitable quarter. (Thurrott)
Take a bow, Intel.
Though to be fair Intel showed off new consumer products at CES when AMD and Nvidia couldn't be bothered, and the integrated graphics on Intel's latest Panther Lake chips looks to be faster than AMD's fastest mainstream models (though slower than the Ryzen AI Max if you use it for gaming and not AI.)

Timelapse volcano. Using a dam's spillway (which lets water which would overtop the damn out in a controlled way) as a waterslide. This seems incredibly dangerous to me. Aquaman and Mera hanging out on the beach. "Art" is fake and gay. The evidence. Target: acquired. Kamala Harris's dusty cooter.

Trump Sues JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon for Debanking Him, for $5 Billion in Damages
Obviously I'm horrified at these woke Socialist Oligarchs using their corporate fiduciary power to push their personal political agendas -- the power of the corporation is meant to be wielded for the benefit of shareholders, not the woke cocksuckers sitting in the corner suites -- but I don't know if someone has a legal right to someone else's business.
Then again, these are banks, one of the most regulated industries in the world. It's very likely the left has cluttered the US code with all sorts of "fairness in banking" regulations.
President Donald Trump on Thursday, Jan. 22, sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion, accusing the bank of dropping Trump as a client for political reasons after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The lawsuit, which Trump had threatened for days, was filed in state court in Florida as Trump returns from Davos, Switzerland, where he attended the World Economic Forum.I find this problematic:
See, the problem is that JP Morgan will argue that it was good for the corporation to "distance itself" from Trump. Corporations get away with doing a lot of political crap -- which should be ultra vires, against the compact that created and governs the corporation -- by calling it "goodwill." If a lefty CEO wants to donate to BLM -- obviously not something in the interest of the shareholders -- he can justify it by saying it creates public goodwill for the corporation, and therefore actually does benefit the shareholders, albeit indirectly. And judges rarely second-guess CEOs about their "goodwill" decision making. (They ought to, because CEOs use corporations to vindicate their personal agendas, but judges stay hands-off to allow corporations to donate huge amounts of money to the repulsive left.) And I'm afraid that Trump, by stating in his own filing that JP Morgan felt it had to "distance itself" from him due to the "political tide at the moment," has made JP Morgan's defense for it.
"Plaintiffs are confident that JPMC's unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations, and b>JPMC's unsubstantiated, 'woke' beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views," the lawsuit reads. "In essence, JPMC debanked Plaintiffs' Accounts because it believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so."

Quick Hits
Tucker Carlson: I condemn America for ending the war with Japan by dropping two nuclear weapons because they are inherently evil, actually they're "demonic" and literally created by demonic forces, and no one should have them. Also Tucker Carlson: Boy it sure would be swell if Iran got nukes because then they'd have leverage against the Jews, who must be eradicated. From the unregistered foreign agent's newsletter:
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ NEW: Multiple sources tell me & colleague @davidspunt that the federal magistrate in Minnesota who refused to sign off on an arrest warrant for Don Lemon is Douglas L. Micko and that his wife works as an Assistant Attorney General in Minnesota AG Keith Ellison's office.
Stephen MillerApparently William Kelly, the asshole "Da Woke Farmer" who yelled profanities at church-goers and dared Pam Bondi "come get me," claims to be some kind of veteran. This guy says, Nah.
@StephenM Everyone serious understands that the justice system is rigged. Far-left prosecutors, magistrates, judges and juries unhesitatingly shield their violent activists and gleefully imprison their political opponents. Unrigging the system is necessary for the survival of the Republic.

@dig_metal William Kelly, better known as DaWokeFarmer, got booted from the U.S. Army with a bad-conduct discharge. He was in from about 2007 to 2011, but his stories don't add up--no combat infantry vet, no Afghanistan deployment, no Warrant Officer gig. Reality check: He was just an HR admin (MOS 42A), zero combat or overseas action. Back in 2008, court-martialed for stealing, which led to: - Dropped to Private (E-1). - That punitive BCD, basically "other than honorable" with major baggage. Dude fabricates his military record, he's a proven thief, and an alcoholic on top. Yet this is the fraud the left loves to elevate. Wake up, folks. #StolenValor #Exposed

"I can guarantee you that if the Ayatollah gets a nuclear weapon, he will use it," Lindsey Graham said on Fox News last year. "I believe that with all my heart and soul." Oh, and of course, there's warmonger-in-chief Benjamin Netanyahu, who insists that "there is only one difference between Nazi Germany and the Islamic Republic of Iran... [Iran] is first seeking atomic weapons and, once it has them, will then start a world war."Weird, because he's about to tell you Iranian nukes could be used to pressure Israel to leave the poor Palestinian peace-lovers alone. Why would the warmongering Jews leave them alone unless they knew Iran might nuke them?
What are the chances Iran would actually launch a nuclear attack? History suggests they're zero, no matter what Senator Graham says.
There he is, attacking America for dropping the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima again. Weirdly enough, he thinks that nuclear missiles in the hands of the Ayatollah would bring peace and justice to the region:
No country in the so-called 'Axis of Evil' has ever deployed a nuke, because doing so would be an act of suicide. In fact, the United States is the only nation to unleash its nuclear might as an act of war. It's strange how Washington considers that a point of pride.
Could the Iranians obtaining The Bomb wind up being a good thing? Whether anyone in the foreign policy establishment admits it, North Korea's nuclearization has undeniably stabilized the Korean Peninsula. The region has seen no wars, coups, or interventionist-forced regime changes since 2006.Oh, it's also good that North Korea has nukes.
Would Iran becoming a nuclear power have the same effect on its region? Could it finally prompt America to leave the area alone, and incentivize Israel to drop its stated goal of controlling the Gaza Strip and the West Bank? Would it make the Iranian government less oppressive because it wouldn't have to worry about the West's constant decapitation ambitions?
