The Morning Report — 3/20/26
To underscore this, I give you this completely unsurprising report . . .
Given all of the above, one of the Left's big heroes from the glory days of the swinging 60's has been exposed as a child rapist.
To underscore this, I give you this completely unsurprising report . . .
Nearly half of households headed by immigrants, those legally and illegally living in the United States, are on one or more forms of welfare, a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis of Census Bureau data reveals. . . Meanwhile, just 28 percent of households headed by native-born Americans are on welfare, and just 31 percent are on welfare that includes both tax credits.Interesting that Somalia isn't on that list, but then again, that's not even welfare as such, as opposed to outright naked, dictionary definition criminal fraud on the most massive scale ever seen. Of course the nature of government handouts themselves, regardless of who the recipient is is another story entirely and the nature of charity and who foots the bill. There was a time when being indigent absolutely disqualified you from being granted citizenship. Of course there are several things going on here that collectively have one goal in mind and that is the collapse of American society and its transmogrification into a socialist state based on the inversion/perversion of history and annihilation of our American heritage and indeed Judeo-Christian Western civilization going back millennia. I give you the Cloward-Piven strategy. . .
Countries with the highest welfare-users in the U.S. include Afghanistan, 87 percent, the Dominican Republic, 78 percent, Guatemala, 77 percent, Honduras, 75 percent, and Mexico, 67 percent.
. . . an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse initiatives — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse in an effort to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. Cloward and Piven calculated that the flood of demands which they were recommending would break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.Now you know, as if it was any great mystery, why the Democrats and corporatist RINOs oppose the SAVE Act or any election integrity measures for that matter, as we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post.
Given all of the above, one of the Left's big heroes from the glory days of the swinging 60's has been exposed as a child rapist.
Cesar Chavez’s birthday is a holiday in six states, there are over a dozen streets that carry his name in California alone, and far more schools across the country are named after a child rapist. And now some of those streets may be renamed and Chavez statues may be coming down.Well, considering Chavez was vocally and virulently anti-illegal immigration, himself often referring to them as "Wetbacks," I'm surprised that the left has yet to airbrush him out of history as a white hispanic a la George Zimmerman. Then again Martin Luther King Jr., who believed in content of character above color of skin has yet to have his statues demolished and MLK Blvds. re-renamed. On that sour note, we have this tragic milestone marking how low we have sank:
. . . a white American 6-year-old was punished for blasphemy against Black Lives Matter (by saying “any life” matters). A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools.Here's hoping for saner years to come. 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.

What was the FBI doing for four years under Biden? Oh right -- they were diverting anti-terrorism assets to try to frame the president of the United States. James Comey subpoenaed in alleged "grand conspiracy" against Trump
Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" case against the ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios. Why it matters: The investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas since cranking up last year, the sources say, and targets top officials who worked under former presidents Obama and Biden. The officials, including Comey, have all decried the investigation as political persecution and lawfare. Zoom in: The Trump administration's grand conspiracy theory posits that Democratic officials bent the rules, broke the law and lied under oath to investigate, prosecute and otherwise undermine Trump from his election in 2016 through his federal indictments in 2023. The Comey subpoena, issued last week, relates to his alleged role in the drafting of a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning Russia's election interference that favored Trump. The assessment referenced the now-widely discredited Steele Dossier, whose inclusion "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment," according to a "Tradecraft Review" completed in June under Trump's current CIA director, John Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe then referred Comey and former CIA director John Brennan for prosecution.

The New Darling of the Grifter Left and Grifter Right, Joe Kent, Seems to Have Flounced From His Job Because He Knew He Was Under Investigation for Illegal Leaking
Gee, I wonder which podcasters he may have been leaking to.
Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent is now at the center of a reported federal investigation, with multiple sources indicating the FBI is probing whether he leaked classified information--an inquiry that, notably, appears to have been underway before his abrupt resignation earlier this week. According to Semafor's Shelby Talcott, who cited four sources familiar with the matter, the investigation predates Kent's departure from his post and focuses on whether sensitive intelligence was disclosed to individuals not authorized to receive it. Talcott initially reported that three sources confirmed the probe, later adding a fourth.
... Kent announced his resignation publicly on X, framing his exit as a break over foreign policy. In a lengthy post, he argued he could no longer support what he described as an unnecessary conflict with Iran. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran," Kent wrote. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby." ... President Trump weighed in as well, offering a blunt assessment of Kent's departure and his stance on Iran. "I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security," Trump said. "But when I read his statement I realized, it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat, every country realized what a threat Iran was. The question was whether or not they wanted to do something." The timeline now raises obvious questions. Kent's resignation was publicly tied to his disagreement over Iran policy--but the existence of a preexisting FBI investigation suggests there may have been far more unfolding behind the scenes than he wanted to admit.
If you anticipate being tried in court, it's useful to announce your solidarity with a small but passionate group of political lunatics. They'll do jury nullification on your behalf.
Dana Loesch
@DLoesch 18h Huh.
Seems like the guy was trying to get ahead of a damning story he brought on himself by leaking whatever he could get his hands on to the press, no matter how it affected our nation. Now his reported (and apparently fairly recent) conversion to the right, exclusion from intel briefings due to suspicion, and recent posts contradicting everything he's saying now have clarity.

Official Twitter Account of Republic of Somaliland: We Have Proof That Ilhan "Omar's" Real Last Name is "Elmi," Changed to Hide the Fact That Her Father is a Genocidal Warlord
And to defraud the US immigration system, of course.
I have to correct something I have repeatedly gotten wrong: I have long called Ilhan "Omar" by the name Ilhan "Omar" Nur, to stress that "Omar" is not her real name. She falsified her name to fraudulently emigrate on an Omar family visa. I kept saying her real last name is "Nur." That's wrong. Nur is her father's first name, not his surname. Her actual real last name is "Elmi." Apparently her father, Nur Elmi, began using the name "Omar" to hide his identity.REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND
@RepOfSomaliland
🧾 Receipts: Ilhan Omar's original last name was Elmi before it was changed.
This evidence was available, but the Obama Justice Department refused to investigate. Her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and their father, Nur Said Elmi (also known as Nur Omar), used multiple names across different countries. Part of the family fled to the United Kingdom, while Ilhan Omar and others entered the United States under their father's assumed name, "Omar." These name changes and split identities were used to conceal the father's true war crimes and identity. Marriage details: * Groom: Ahmed Nur Said Elmi
* Bride: Ilhan Abdullahi Omar

The EU and Japan Hint They Might Do Something to Protect Shipping in the Strait of America
I don't believe them. This is very gauzy and gaseous.
Trump should just declare that only ships transiting to the Western Hemisphere will be protected. All other ships? Iran, do your worse.Jacqui Heinrich"Appropriate efforts" means "we issued this paper statement." The statement commits to nothing:
@JacquiHeinrich NEW: UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, & Japan issue joint statement expressing "readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts" to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, welcoming nations engaging in prep/planning & coordinating SPR releases and ways to increase output. Calls for Iran to "cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817"
That's the extent of their commitment: they express their readiness to "appropriate efforts" and welcome the commitment of other nations to "preparatory planning."
We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817. Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The effects of Iran's actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable. Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations. We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.

The Morning Rant
Who said that is debatable, but it was probably von Moltke (or Clausewitz). But it is axiomatic, and the destruction of Iran's leadership has thrown the entire country into chaos, with its military response simply reactive, without any strategic goal other than to cause damage wherever it can. That is not a plan for victory. In addition to its military's lack of coordination, its justly feared internal security apparatus is able to detain or kill street protesters, but has lost central command, so there is very little intelligence being gathered on the growing rebellion. It is a recipe for disaster on all fronts, and regardless of whether the Mullahs can retain control, or the army or IRGC stages a coup, the days of Iran being a regional power and exporting its brand of Shia Islam terror across the world are over. And all of this was accomplished with superb human and technical intelligence, real-time military action on that intelligence, and amazingly accurate munitions that simply did not exist a generation ago. Imagine the beginning of World War II, If Great Britain had been able to kill Hitler and Göring and Himmler and Goebbels and Bormann and Keitel and Raeder and Donitz and von Ribbentrop and a few dozen others at the top of the Nazi hierarchy. Or far more chilling...imagine if in May 1940 Nazi Germany had killed Churchill and Bevin and Portal and Montgomery and Dowding and Slim. The counter-argument from the increasingly unhinged supporters of Iran is that martyrdom is a victory. Well, then in a few weeks when the entire hierarchy of the Iranian Mullahcracy is dead, we should declare victory for Iran! Then the people of Iran can reconstitute some semblance of a government, and we can leave, with the admonition: "Don't make us come back!" [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

The Morning Report — 3/19/26
Well we are at war with Iran, which, it cannot be stressed enough, has been at war with us for 47 years but the difference is we finally have a President who understands the threat to our national security and the peace of the world that an Islamic Iran poses. And with the usual fifth columnist backstabbers questioning the war and demanding to know what the President's "Exit Strategy" is, the exit strategy should be, and I thought was, Total Victory with the complete defanging of the Mullahs if not their utter collapse and the ascension of a government that is minimally a peaceful nation state that will no longer foment terrorism in the name of annihilating the USA and advancing Islam across the region and the globe. With that, the President's repudiation of the State of Israel over its attack on an Iranian oil field makes no sense at all in light of all the players involved.
On Wednesday night, the Washington Post reported that "U.S. officials detected unidentified drones above the Washington Army base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live" and that those officials have not yet determined where they came from. . . One of the sources, who the newspaper says is a "senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity" said that the military is currently monitoring threats more closely due to the "heightened alert level as the United States and Israel strike Iran." . . . Back in the fall, several news outlet reported that both men had moved to military bases, along with Donald Trump's Homeland Security advisor, Stephen Miller. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also had to move to a military base. According to the Atlantic, other members of the administrative have as well.

With that, the President's repudiation of the State of Israel over its attack on an Iranian oil field makes no sense at all in light of all the players involved.
“Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran,” Trump said. “A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen.” “Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility,” Trump added. “NO MORE ATTACK WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar – In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.” . . . The South Pars gas field is the world’s largest natural gas reserve and is jointly operated by Iran and Qatar.Considering we have military bases in Qatar and they are putatively an ally, as well as the effect on world markets the crippling of this field would have, this might have something to do with Trump's response to Israel's attack. But that said, either we are in this to win it or what the hell are we doing in the first place? While we're on the subject of existential threats to the United States of America:
Democrats’ DHS funding blockade, framed as civil liberties, instead weakens core security agencies during wartime—exposing Americans while advancing an increasingly radical agenda. . . Financed in part by malign foreign powers who seek to defeat the United States, radical left activists have co-opted the Democrat Party. Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois, head of the supposedly centrist New Democrat Coalition, typifies the illogic. “My concern about DHS is their absolute disregard of the Constitution and American citizens’ civil rights,” he said, adding, “So until we see officers who abuse citizens’ civil rights held to full account, until we restore full congressional oversight, I’m not giving another penny to ICE and CBP.”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.
. . . By providing the energy, funding, and activists who increasingly guide the Democrat Party, the Marxist wing has become its base, electing avowed Socialists including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, Rashida Tlaib, and more than 100 other officials. A Fox News survey released last week found record 38% support for socialism, including 66% of very liberal voters. Many Democrats are defunding Homeland Security because of the current Middle East war, not despite it. In their heavily refracted perspective, Iran is a peaceful nation that, as Sen. Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, claims, poses no threat to America. To the Marxist wing and growing numbers of other Democrats, Iran balances the “genocidal” or “apartheid” regime in Israel. . . . . . Auric Goldfinger told James Bond that he didn’t want a dialogue; he wanted Bond to die. Likewise, the Marxist wing isn’t seeking compromise. It seeks to bring down American exceptionalism by replacing American history with the 1619 Project, action civics, and critical race theory. My center-left friends steadfastly want it to be true that radical leftists share common values with other Americans. They don’t.

Poland has now completely healed from the economic and cultural retardation of Invader Communism and is now wealthier than most European countries.
Remember the days when two Republicans led the jungle primary for California governor, meaning, if that survey support translates to actual votes, the only two people competing in the election would be those two Republicans? No Democrats allowed? No "Independent Socialists" running as spoilers?
Well those days are back because the most recent poll shows the two Republicans leading. Again, this isn't a primary poll -- it's a poll of the so-called "jungle primary" where everyone runs no matter what the party. The top two vote-getters here advance to the general election.Conservative commentator Steve Hilton had the support of 17% of likely voters and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco had the backing of 16%, according to a poll released Wednesday by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by The Times.Last time I checked, the Democrat with the most support is noted Chinese Spy Eric Fartwell. I think he had 13%.
Poland has now completely healed from the economic and cultural retardation of Invader Communism and is now wealthier than most European countries.
-- A generation ago, Poland rationed sugar and flour while its citizens were paid one-tenth what West Germans earned. Today its economy has edged past Switzerland to become the world's 20th largest with over $1 trillion in annual output. It's a historic leap from the post-communist ruins of 1989-90 to today's European growth champion that economists say has lessons on how to bring prosperity to ordinary people -- and that the Trump administration says should be recognized by Poland's presence at a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies later this year. ... The guest invitation to the G20 summit is mostly symbolic; no guest country has been promoted to full member since the original G20 met at the finance minister level in 1999, and that would take a consensus decision of all the members. Moreover, the original countries were chosen not just by GDP rank, but by their "systemic significance" in the global economy. But the gesture reflects a statistical truth: In 35 years -- a little less than one person's working lifetime -- Poland's per capita gross domestic product rose to $55,340 in 2025, or 85% of the EU average. That's up from $6,730 in 1990, or 38% of the EU average and now roughly equal to Japan's $52,039, according to International Monetary Fund figures measured in today's dollars and adjusted for Poland's lower cost of living. Poland's economy has grown an average 3.8% a year since joining the EU in 2004, easily beating the European average of 1.8%.As someone pointed out on Twitter: They somehow managed to prosper economically without allowing in millions of unvetted, unskilled immigrants. Weird, I thought that was impossible. Poland is saving money by not having to demolish the statues of its previous heroes just because Hostile Culturally-Aggressive Colonizers demand it. Meanwhile, in Wales:
Billionaire Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick admits strategically moving to Texas before California wealth taxAnd now you get nothing. Eat it, Commie scum. You people are such absolute fuck-ups. You'd have to ration sand in a desert. Meanwhile, Nurse Kathy Hochul is begging the wealthy to move back to NY so that they may seize their assets:
Kalanick says Dec 18 move to Austin was timed 'prior to January' deadline for proposed billionaire tax Billionaire and Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick officially joined the exodus from California, revealing he moved to Austin, Texas, just weeks before a proposed wealth tax could have targeted his estimated $3.6 billion fortune. "Just to be clear, on December 18, I moved to Texas. I don't know what's so specific about December 18, but let's just say it's prior to January," Kalanick said in an interview with TPBN. "I get a little bit [of] FOMO on like, these people going to Florida. I'm like, dude! Why so much Florida action?" he continued. "Come on, homies." Kalanick left his San Francisco home for Texas just 14 days before the new year, when the retroactive residency deadline for the proposed billionaire tax would take effect.
While it has not yet qualified for the November ballot, the proposal -- backed by the Service Employees International Union--United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW) -- would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of California residents with more than $1 billion in wealth. The tax would be due in 2027, and taxpayers could spread payments over five years, with additional fees, according to the California Legislative Analyst's Office. If the measure is approved by voters, anyone who was a California resident on Jan. 1, 2026, would owe the tax, according to the proposal. Based on Forbes' estimates, Kalanick could owe roughly $180 million.

@RealJessica 3h New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣 "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home." "I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything." "There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."

California Bridge to Nowhere Remains Unfinished, Now Costs $114 Million
Every time I see a dead critter by the highway I wonder: Why can't we build gently-sloping pedestrian bridges, topped with grass and bushes, for wildlife to cross over safely? It's not just good for them; people crash their cars due to deer all the time.
Well, a government filled with left-wing fuck-up grifters is why.Over $100 million for a bridge which only needs to bear the weight of, checks notes, skunks and the occasional herd of deer. Oh, and six inches of dirt, maybe. This is not an overpass for vehicles. It does not need to bear the weight of multiton trucks driving at 75mph. The engineering needed here is pretty forgiving. But still, they can't finish it for less than $114 million. And if you think that will be the final bill, I've got a Butterfly Bridge to sell you. (Yes, the bridge must also serve as a path for butterflies. Think of the additional engineering requirements to bear the weight of several dozen butterflies.) How can you degenerates literally be bad at everything? Here's how: They're all taking a piece.
In 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom broke ground on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC), a project featuring an overpass for animals atop ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Southern California. At the ceremony, Newsom boasted that the state had committed $54 million. He promised to "complete the job within another $10 million," before seeming to hedge on whether that final sum would do the trick. Officials projected a 2025 completion date for the overpass, and estimated that the entire project -- which includes the bridge and other ancillary developments -- would cost $92 million, some of it coming from private philanthropists. ... Pratt, a cougar-sweater-wearing environmental activist who serves on WAWC's Partner Leadership Team, is the program's public face. She is also a regional executive director of the national Wildlife Federation. In 2021, the group received a $25 million grant from "Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation" for the bridge that bears the late philanthropist's name. That money apparently was not enough. This past January, donning a hard hat and a "#SAVELACOUGARS" jersey, Pratt announced a possible $21 million overage. She effectively blamed President Trump, attributing the multimillion-dollar overrun to "tariffs, inflation, [and] labor problems." "There's no boondoggle," she said. "Given the times we're living in," a potential $21 million overage is "not that bad."
... Why has a project primarily consisting of a bridge for animals cost over $100 million? One reason is that Newsom and WAWC's philanthropic supporters apparently don't mind it becoming a patronage program.As the WAWC-endorsing Wildlife Crossing Fund notes, citing the California Department of Transportation's estimate, "for every $1 billion spent" on wildlife crossings, "13,000 jobs are created." A group of experts apparently adds to the operation's expense. A fungi whiz, Pratt says, worked as a WAWC habitat designer, periodically scrutinizing root samples under a microscope. A contracted soil scientist said his process involves assessing local dirt to "rebuild it ... as close to nature as possible."1, that's a scam, 2, you build a slope, a bridge, put some dirt on it, and it's done. It's close enough to nature. We just want animals crossing here, not attempting to build animal cities. By the way: I think any path covered in dirt would be "closer to nature" than the highway it spans, no?
... At the groundbreaking ceremony, Newsom envisioned WAWC as a catalyst for the construction of wildlife crossings across the state. California, he boasted, set aside $105 million "to replicate projects like this all up and down the state." Pratt reportedly thinks "hundreds more crossings are needed."Here's the thing: their own incompetence and greed keeps them from accomplishing any of the things they claim to want to accomplish. If they'd built this... bike path with dirt for something reasonable like $15 million, then yeah, this would serve as a model for building additional bridges. But at a cost of $114 million and climbing for one incomplete bridge? No. You have once again fucked everything up for everyone, including the animals. But you'll all still get paid, right? That's the important thing.

Shock! Left-Wing "Civil Rights" Icon and Democrat Hero Cesar Chavez Was a Child Molester and Rapist
He died 33 years ago -- in 1993 -- so the Pravda Media is now dusting off the archives and reporting what they knew decades ago but suppressed until it was safe to do so. John Sexton, who quotes the Soviet Archivist NYT:
And he didn't just sexually abuse and rape children, he also abused his adult female staffers and partners. See the link for that. Sexton notes that "allegations and rumors" about this sex predator have swirled for years, but gosh darn it, the story just wasn't ready until 33 years after he died without any apologies or reckoning.
Of course. Of course.
The evidence was staring us in the face:He died 33 years ago -- in 1993 -- so the Pravda Media is now dusting off the archives and reporting what they knew decades ago but suppressed until it was safe to do so. John Sexton, who quotes the Soviet Archivist NYT:
As predicted yesterday, the story about Cesar Chavez sexually abusing young girls was published today by the NY Times. The paper spoke to multiple women including one who claims she was abused repeatedly when Chavez was 45 and she was 13-years-old.Ana Murguia remembers the day the man she had regarded as a hero called her house and summoned her to see him. She walked along a dirt trail, entered the rundown building, passed his secretary and stepped into his office. He locked the door, as he always did when he called her, and told her how lonely he had been. He brought her onto the yoga mat that he often used in his office for meditation, kissed her and pulled her pants down. "Don't tell anyone," he told her afterward. "They'd get jealous." The man, Cesar Chavez, one of the most revered figures in the Latino civil rights movement, was 45. She was 13. Ms. Murguia said she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years.Recently, more than 50 years later, Ms. Murguia learned that a street near her home in the Central California city of Bakersfield was in the process of being renamed. City officials want to name it in honor of her abuser. A second woman described similar abuse which began when she was 12-years-old.
Ms. Rojas said she was 12 when Mr. Chavez first touched her inappropriately, groping her breasts in the same office where he'd meet with Ms. Murguia. When Ms. Rojas was 15, he arranged to have her stay at a motel during a weekslong march through California, she said, and had sexual intercourse with her -- rape, under state law, because she was not old enough to consent.
And he didn't just sexually abuse and rape children, he also abused his adult female staffers and partners. See the link for that. Sexton notes that "allegations and rumors" about this sex predator have swirled for years, but gosh darn it, the story just wasn't ready until 33 years after he died without any apologies or reckoning.
