"We Must Stop Fighting, We Cannot Divide the Right*"
* "Except for Tucker Carlson Who Is Allowed to Continue #Cancelling All Jewish Republicans He Doesn't Like"

David Strom has a good piece: How can the Tucker Apologists claim that we mustn't attack Tucker Carlson for his, erm, evolution, while his entire show consists of relentlessly attacking Republicans himself?

Is it just some Republicans -- and anti-Republican, anti-MAGA Nazis -- who are afforded this Identitarian Privilege?

Is it, or should it be true that in order to win, we should follow the principle that there are "no enemies to the right?"

On its face, the principle makes sense. After all, elections are won by adding together enough voters and voting blocs to get a plurality of the vote. Unless you have more voters than the other side(s), you lose. So if you see a group of voters who might be persuaded to vote along with you, it makes sense to either appeal to them or, at the very least, not criticize them.

This is the essence of some conservatives' arguments that the critiques of Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts are counterproductive. Some would toss Candace Owens into the mix, but fewer because she now just seems kooky to people.

At least I hope so.

There are a number of problems I see with this seemingly plausible argument, morally, intellectually, and electorally, where the rubber meets the road.

First, let's get this out of the way: Nick Fuentes is not a conservative, nor is he somebody who could (at least reliably) be included in the Republican coalition even if we wanted him to be. He is a racist, authoritarian, antisemitic bottom feeder who says he is on "Team Hitler," admires Josef Stalin, attacks JD Vance for marrying his wife, and who literally campaigned against Donald Trump in the last election.

He's not only a scumbag, but he spends a lot of time trying to kick people OUT OF the Republican coalition because they don't fit his model for what America should look like.

Anybody who says "no enemies on the right has to explain why this is not a declaration of enmity TO the right:

The Blaze: We've Identified the J6 Pipe Bomber and It's a Government Worker at a Three-Letter Agency

Intel Report Daily
@TruthNinja316

🚨J6 PIPE BOMBER HAS LIKELY BEEN IDENTIFIED🚨
The person responsible for planting the pipe bombs has been ID'd. They are a female. They are from a 3 letter agency. They did work for Capitol Police. I know the name but can't name the person out of respect for the person who worked this story masterfully... @SteveBakerUSA

The "lead suspect" is a woman, and high government official.

Here's the Blaze story from yesterday:

'She's one of us!' Steve Baker stuns Glenn Beck with bombshell revelation about J6 pipe-bomb suspect

Joseph MacKinnon
November 05, 2025

Beck indicated that the suspect will be named as soon as the relevant agencies have 'battened down the hatches.'

Blaze News investigative reporters Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman have spent years working to identify the masked individual who placed pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021.

Baker, whom the Biden FBI arrested over his January 6 reporting, revealed to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Wednesday that they have finally locked in on a suspect. What's more, Baker hinted that the suspect's imminent identification will implicate and shame at least one federal agency.

Baker told Beck, "When I pulled this thread, I was so shocked by what I saw, I immediately took it to a source in one of the most important, highest-level investigative federal agencies in the country. I immediately took it to our sources there, and I said, 'You have to see this.'"

"After they looked at it for about two hours, the response that I got back was, 'Holy F,'" continued Baker. "And then the follow-up response was, 'She's one of us!'"

When pressed by Beck about his confidence level in the suspect ID, Baker said, "I will tell you that from gait analysis -- that's the analysis of the hoodied bomber ... compared to the gait analysis of this individual in private life and at work -- that the actual software hit at a 94% accuracy."

"Human analysis from the experts in intelligence is much higher," continued Baker. "They looked at it and went, 'My God, that's it. We got it.'"

In the below interview, Glen Beck says the Blaze will publish the story... tomorrow. And since these were posted yesterday, that means "today." But I don't see an update at the Blaze.

Is this real? I dunno. I have heard rumblings that the bomber has been identified for a few months. I wasn't told who it was, just that a researcher knew who it was and was absolutely confident in her belief. I only mention that as the teensiest, tiniest little scrap of information that suggests that maybe this is real. (It's very weak confirmation, but it's all I have.)

Jeffrey Epstein's Former Cellmate Alleges: James Comey's Daughter, Federal Prosecutor Maureen Comey, Said That I Could Walk Free If I Falsely Claimed That Epstein Implicated Trump in His Pedo Schemes

Allegedly, per this admittedly-convicted criminal, James Comey's nasty, ugly daughter promised that he would skate if he could make any allegation against Trump. She further said, allegedly, that it did not matter if he could provide evidence that the allegation was true. All that mattered was that Trump would be unable to disprove it.

The former cellmate of infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein has claimed that Epstein said New York federal prosecutors had offered him a deal if Epstein agreed to implicate Donald Trump, then serving his first presidential term.

Epstein, who was arrested on child sex-trafficking charges in July of 2019, was transferred to the Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan and shared a cell with former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione, who at that time was awaiting trial. Tartaglione was eventually convicted on a quadruple-murder charge, while Epstein died in the jail a month after being arrested.

In a pardon application obtained by the New York Post, Tartaglione wrote, "Prosecutors ... told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein's crimes he would walk free."

"Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn't have to prove anything, as long as President Trump's people could not disprove it. According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were 'her people, not his [President Trump's]," the filing stated.

Tartaglione added in his petition that Epstein told him "President Trump was not involved in Epstein's crimes."

Now, remember, jailhouse testimony is notoriously unreliable and people will say anything in hopes of currying favor from whoever is in a position to set them free.

Still... worth investigating, I would say.

Trump Strikes Deal With Big Pharma to Reduce *American* Prices for Weight Loss Drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro

Well, with all of the angst about the economy and Trump spending too much focus on foreign policy, I guess this is helpful.

Supposedly, the price would drop, eventually, to $245 per month for those paying cash. We'll see.

U.S. President Donald Trump, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk unveiled a deal on Thursday to slash the prices of popular GLP-1 weight‑loss drugs for the government's Medicare and Medicaid programs, as well as for cash payers.

The move is aimed at increasing access to the treatments through U.S. Medicare for people aged 65 and over and the Medicaid program for low-income people, which together provide healthcare coverage for nearly half of all Americans.

U.S. patients currently pay by far the most for prescription medicines, often nearly three times more than in other developed nations, and Trump has been pressuring drugmakers to lower their prices to what patients pay elsewhere.

"GLP-1s have been top of mind and not just because of the cardiometabolic benefits that they provide, but also because it is an issue of fairness and utilization and pricing and access and affordability for the American people," an administration official told reporters.

Starter doses of rival weight‑loss pills being developed by Lilly and Novo, if approved, will cost $149 per month for all Medicare and Medicaid enrollees and via the White House's new direct-to-consumer site, TrumpRx, senior administration officials said.

For currently available injectable GLP-1s used for diabetes and other covered health issues, prices would fall to $245 per month for patients with Medicare or Medicaid, they said.

On TrumpRx, the average price of injectables and pills will start at or below $350 monthly and is expected to trend downward to $245 within two years.

I tried to get on Mounjaro. The cost was something obscene like $1400 per month, but you could sign up for a coupon and "only" pay $550 or something.

$350 would be expensive but, I guess, obtainable.

Think about all the money I'd save on Ho-Ho's.

In Medicare, patients' co-pays will be capped at $50 a month, officials said.
Commercial health insurers would also be able to access prices estimated to be 25% lower than current cash prices, they said.

The government will also expand coverage for GLP-1s under the deal, officials said, to overweight patients with prediabetes or heart problems, obese patients with comorbidities and severely obese patients, accounting for 10% of Medicare patients.

Granny Rictus McBotoxImplants, Who Boomers Know as "Nancy Pelosi," Finally Retires

I mean, this was obvious, but when Pedophile Enabler Scott Wiener announced he was running for Nancy Pelosi's seat, it was pretty obvious that Granny Rictus McBotoxImplants had put out the word among her Closest Groomer Friends that she was going to retire. The Twink Groomer Friend of All Pedophiles Scott Wiener would not have had the balls to challenge her if she were running again.

Granny Rictus sure made a lot of millions of dollars trading with inside information during her 40 year career.

Nice grift if you can get it.

Now she's got a nice huge nest egg.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she won't seek re-election at the end of her current term, ending a roughly four-decade career in Congress for the key Democratic power player who had been the first female speaker.

"I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking re-election to Congress," Pelosi, 85, said in a video message to her constituents.

You already told your Pedophile Advocate successor Scott Wiener.

The Golden State Democrat had faced speculation this week that she was planning to announce her plans to skip re-election following Tuesday's off-year elections.

The New York Times gushes about this "powerful woman:"

Representative Nancy Pelosi announced on Thursday that she will retire when her term concludes in early 2027, ending a remarkable career in which she rose to become one of the most powerful women in American history.

Ms. Pelosi, 85, was the nation's first and only female House speaker, and she will have represented San Francisco in Congress for 39 years when she leaves office. She has served during an era of seismic change for American society and her own city, from the throes of the AIDS crisis to the legalization of gay marriage, and through the meteoric rise of the tech sector and the nation's extreme polarization.

She entered political office later in life and became a hero to Democrats for the way she wielded immense power to push Obamacare, climate change legislation and infrastructure programs through Congress.

"With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative," she told her constituents in a nearly six-minute video posted on X early Thursday morning, with clips of San Francisco's iconic cable cars and colorful Victorian homes flashing in the background.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The two sides of the coin that is President Donald Trump was on full display two days ago. His amazing ability to motivate and energize an otherwise detached electorate -- when he is on the ballot -- and his equally amazing ability to infuriate and motivate the Democrats.

And that's where JD Vance has a tremendous opportunity. As the presumptive front-runner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, He has the next two years, before the 2028 campaign begins in earnest, to create a persona as "The Anti-Trump." But not on policy, where the President and he are in broad agreement. No, it will be in tone, presentation, and image.

Donald Trump's bombast and hyperbole is an integral part of his public face, and in most cases it works to heighten awareness of the topic at hand and, frankly, to pique the interest of disinterested potential voters. But it also raises the hackles of his implacable enemies and, frankly, can blur the message. But that message is vital...love of America, respect for the working man, the desire for American industry to be unequaled, and for his beloved country to be a safe, prosperous, and happy place, with secure borders, a powerful military that is rarely used, a vibrant domestic economy, and the probability of upward mobility for most.

Is JD Vance any different? No, of course not. That message, until recently, would have been completely unexceptional, were it not for the shambling wreck of the Democrat/progressive movement dragging us into 3rd World territory.

But without the lightning rod that is Donald Trump, the Democrats, who can get their compliant flocks frothing at the mouth by the mere mention of the President's name, will lose a powerful recruiting and motivational tool. And the more JD Vance can separate himself from Donald Trump's unique personality, the weaker the Democrat strategy will be when directed at him. Thus the suggestion that he becomes the "Anti-Trump."

Trump Has the Entire Room Laughing as He Pokes Fun at JD Vance

The president then turned to Vice President Vance, quipping, “Why don’t you act like that? JD doesn’t behave like that. JD butts into conversations. I wanna have that for at least a couple of days. Okay, JD? We’ll keep you long term, but a couple of days of that would be very, very nice.”

This is exactly the way that JD Vance can create the image of an independent and powerful executive who is more than happy to confront Donald Trump if necessary, but will always be measured and calm in public.

Hyperbole is the politician's stock in trade, but with a thoughtful and quiet delivery, JD Vance can create distance from Donald Trump that will still allow him to communicate the broad strokes of an America First policy. It will also neuter the Democrat shock troops, who operate on rage and adrenaline. Three more years of Donald Trump will, hopefully, leave them exhausted, and the American people bored with their unending, unthinking, and hysterical responses to everything that the President does or says.

Yes, I am a fan of JD Vance. Will he be the nominee? Who knows! But the bench is reasonably deep, so if he fails to secure the nomination, I am confident that there are others who will be good candidates, especially with the possibility of Governor Hair Gel Newsom as the Democrat candidate, with all of California's miserable baggage piled high around him!

The Morning Report — 11/6/25

Good morning kids. Of course the main story remains the fallout over his past Tuesday's Election Day insanity. Yes, the most high profile race was of course New York City deciding that a full on Bloodthirsty communist Jihadist was the ideal choice to be mayor. Other significant races included the passage of California's gerrymandering law that will effectively eliminate five GOP congressional seats and Virginia electing a thug with homicidal fantasies as its top law enforcement officer.

On the latest episode of the podcast both CBD and I marveled at how our nation and society could have come to this pass.

what I cannot understand are the mixed signals whereby we have all kinds of polls and indicators that younger generations are turning away from the Democrat Left "brand" as it were and that in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination many seem to be returning to traditional religion and church, rejecting wokeism and on and on and on. And yet there are polls (yeah, I know) showing that the aforementioned youths are embracing socialism with a vengeance, of course not really knowing or understanding it's bloody legacy and toll of human life approaching over 200 million in little more than a century. Of course this goes hand in hand with the brainwashing and malediction and inculcation of hatred of country and society.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY LINKS
• Two more suspects have been arrested in connection with a foiled Halloween terror plot, according to a law enforcement source. The individuals, identified as Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzal and Milo Sederat, were taken into custody on Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation that could lead to additional arrests. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau assisted federal authorities in locating and apprehending the suspects. It remains unclear whether the two are among the unnamed co-conspirators mentioned in earlier court documents.

Daily Tech News 6 November 2025

Top Story

• A survey has found that 72% of game developers say Steam is effectively a monopoly in the PC gaming market. (TechSpot)
  
  No it hasn't.

  In a survey of over 300 executives from large US and UK game companies, 72% either slightly or strongly agreed that Steam constitutes a monopoly over PC games.

  So by "developers" you mean... Not developers.

  Many customers are so adamant about only purchasing games through Steam that the industry's largest publishers, including EA, Ubisoft, and even Microsoft, have tried - and failed - to withhold their titles from the service.

  Because Steam works. The competitors less so.
  
  The one standout is GOG, which gets in your way even less than Steam.

John Fetterman and Lumpy Jack Diagnose Nancy Pelosi with Trump Derangement Syndrome

Lumpy Jack is the Kuato-like entity that developed after Fetterman's stroke. Lumpy Jack is a scholar and a gentleman.

Nancy Pelosi is meanwhile the same as she always was, a bitter old hag, only now more bitter as her world begins to dim and the shadows grow long and beckon.

Sen. John Fetterman tore into Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday after the former House Speaker unleashed yet another unhinged attack on President Donald Trump, calling him "the worst thing on the face of the Earth." Speaking on Fox News' The Story with Martha MacCallum, the Pennsylvania Democrat said Pelosi's rhetoric was "way over the line" and proof that his party has lost all sense of proportion.

"The worst creatures on the face of the earth are Hamas or like the leadership of Iran -- there's a lot of people on that," Fetterman said. "I would never use those kinds of terms, and I wouldn't describe our president -- you can really disagree with him, and I do disagree, but I don't think that's really entirely appropriate. But that's her words for that. So for me, that's just a different kind of a Democrat."

Pelosi, who's reportedly weighing retirement after Tuesday's elections, made her remarks on CNN, sneering that Trump is "a vile creature" and "the worst thing on the face of the Earth." When pressed by reporter Elex Michaelson, she claimed Trump had "turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court," "abolished the House of Representatives," and "chilled the press." She even accused him of "scaring people who are in our country legally."

Heritage President Kevin Roberts, Who Defended Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes: I Was Misled, I Didn't Know the World's Most Famous Internet Nazi Nick Fuentes Was a Nazi

Before getting to that: There is an idea being pushed by Nick Fuentes -- and now by Tucker Carlson and his various simps and cucks -- that it is absolutely crucial to the conservative movement that we accept in Nazis like Nick Fuentes.

Where did this idea come from? Nick Fuentes has been attacking the actual conservative movement for years and telling his "Groyper" supporters to vote for Kamala Harris.

Nick Fuentes, who noted World War Two Revisionist Scholar Tucker Carlson attempted to mainstream, told his supporters to vote against Trump and for Kamala Harris. He also vowed to destroy Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk.

I have avoided even learning about Fuentes because 1, I'm not super-interested in "speech patrolling the right," 2, I'm tired of the left-wing media telling me who my thought leaders are (hint, it's not Nick Fuentes) and 3, he's a loudmouthed, crude, moronic asshole who routinely praises Adolf Hitler and he's just not worth my time.

HOWEVER, now that Tucker Carlson gave him a fluffer interview mainstreaming his views (while avoiding talking about what his views actually are), I'm forced to discuss him.

Here's what Nick Fuentes says about JD Vance:

Steve Norris
@SteveNorrisTV

OUCH! #MAGA is eating its own.

Here's what Nick Fuentes says about VP JD Vance...

"He is literally a fat, gay, race traitor that married a jееt."

From context, I understand "jeet" to be a slur for an Indian.

I am not upset he is insulting Vance or his "jeet" wife.

I am pointing out that, contrary to the claims of Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and even Matt Walsh, who says we must stop fighting about Nick Fuentes and simply "unite" with him for the good of the party, Fuentes and his Gay Nazi fans are not part of the party, and they actively campaign and vote for Democrats, and fight to destroy MAGA and the GOP so that his version of a reconstituted Nazi Party can rise up in his ashes.

In other words: We have won many elections without Fuentes and his Nazis, and in fact we won 2024 despite Fuentes urging his supporters to vote for Kamala Harris.

So why, exactly, do we need to turn the GOP into the New Nazi Party to win? How can Tucker Carlson claim that Nick Fuentes is vital to our futures?

In terms the Nazis would use: The Nazis are not looking to assimilate into the party.

They are looking to replace the party.

The Nazis have a replacement theory of their own.

And I say: "They will not replace us!"

Candace Owens, meanwhile, is telling her supporters to not vote at all "until we find out who killed Charlie Kirk." Who she's pretty sure is Binyamin Netanyahu and also, All Jews, Generally.

As Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh instruct us: It is important to form a coalition with these rock-ribbed Republican and conservative stalwarts to avoid "dividing the right."

If you criticize them, remember, you're "cancelling" them, and you wouldn't cancel a Nazi, would you? Hypocrite!

I'm not the biggest fan of Ben Shapiro but his exposé of Fuentes and his frequent utterance of "Heil Hitler," Holocaust denial, and constant claims that a cabal of "occult" demonic Jews rule the world, is outstanding.

Watch at least the first five minutes. No, Fuentes is not just "trolling the libtards" by saying he's a Nazi. He's an actual Nazi.

The back half of this takedown is even better, as he demonstrates that Fuentes has been attacking Tucker Carlson for a long while, and Carlson fears that Fuentes is stealing his base of antisemitism-curious conspiracy theorists away from him. So, Shapiro says, the "coward" Tucker Carlson -- who will not speak the antisemitic conspiracy theories that drive him, but instead has on guests whom he gives tongue-baths to who will speak the words that Tucker Carlson will not -- just interviews people with Interesting Theories about Jews, and then says "It's important we have these 'discussions,' about which topic I will not specify."

He means "the JQ" -- Nazis' shorthand for the "Jewish Question" that Hitler answered in 1940-1945. What shall we do with these Jews who live among us, subverting us?

Well, if it's important to have discussions about whether or not Jewish Warlocks are hypnotizing gullible Christians into selling their souls for them, that it's also important to have discussions about whether Tucker Carlson is now simply a Nazi.

Either we can have these controversial yet "important" "discussions" about all controversial matters, Tucker, or we can't have them at all. It's not just you who gets to decide who will be demonized and have hate-mobs whipped up against them.

Bonus points to Shapiro for repeatedly stating, correctly, that Tucker Carlson is a "cuck" who "cucked out" to Nazis.

Economy Unexpectedly Adds Solid 40,000 Private Sector Jobs in October

If that number sounds a bit low, that's because we usually talk about quarterly jobs figures, while this is the number for a single month.

It's not stellar, but it's solid, and it's many more than the "expert consensus" predicted.

The United States job market did better than expected in October in terms of job growth, with over 40,000 new private sector jobs.

...

It is important that these jobs were in the private sector, a marked contrast to the Biden administration's job market, when all the touted "job gains" were either in the federal government or going to immigrants.

In contrast, as of July, under the Trump administration, employment of American-born workers had reached a record high while jobs for foreigners declined. While legal immigrants can strengthen our economy, the decline in employment of U.S.-born men -- particularly blue collar workers -- was a serious Biden administration crisis which the Trump administration has corrected, partly by discouraging employment of illegal aliens.

Remember, the government is shut down which is causing economic disruption and decline. So 42,000 private sector jobs is a win.

Reuters: "French Man" Shouting "Allahu Akbar" Rams His Car Into Some Other French Men Peacefully Riding Bicycles

"French man," why are you so consumed with hate and thirst for murdering other French men?

(And women -- a 22-year-old woman is in intensive care, as is a 69-year-old man.)

They're your fellow countrymen.

Right?

Right, "French Man"?

Driver rams into pedestrians in western France, five injured

There's another descriptor for this "French man." Apparently he's a "driver."

No additional facts needed nor wanted!

SAINT-PIERRE-D'OLERON, France, Nov 5 (Reuters) - A French man rammed his car into pedestrians and cyclists on Oleron island off France's Atlantic coast on Wednesday, injuring five people and shouting "Allahu Akbar" when arrested by police, officials said.

I wonder if that tips the authorities to the motive of "French Man"/"Driver."

Officials including Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said the motive for the attack on a quiet island popular with summer tourists remained unknown, adding that the suspect was not on a watchlist of radicalised individuals.

Motive unknown! Perfect. May it always be unknown. We cannot risk backlash against Muslims, even if that means consenting to the murders of tens of thousands of non-Muslims.

"This morning, starting at 8:40, an individual driving his vehicle went on a journey during which he deliberately hit several people who were in his path, either on bicycles or on foot," Nunez told reporters on the island.

"Five people were hit during his journey, which lasted about 35 minutes." The suspect's car struck pedestrians and cyclists in various areas of the island, officials said.

It was a journey of self-actualization for this Austere Religious Scholar.

Nunez confirmed media reports that the suspect shouted "Allahu Akbar" (Arabic for "God is Greatest") when arrested, but said that was only one element in a broader investigation.

Just one single element. Probably means nothing. Just something one says, you know. Like "Gesundheit."

Two of the victims were seriously injured, including the parliamentary assistant of a far-right National Rally lawmaker, Nunez said.

Probably deserved it.

Note that the National Rally is identified as "far right" while the "French Man" is identified as "Driver."

...
Nunez said the anti-terrorism prosecutor's office was not in charge of the inquiry at this stage...

Why would it be. Why would it be.

One of Biden's Inner Circle Had Four Million Reasons To Cover Up Biden's Galloping Dementia: A $4 Million Bonus if Biden Were Re-Elected

This is from last week, but I only saw it Friday night.

Mike Donnilon was one of the five people gatekeeping access to Biden, and hiding Biden in the basement, and running the government as Sundown enjoyed his 19 hours a day of "naps."

He had reasons beyond mere partisanship to hide Biden from the world (and hide the world from Biden).

His contract would award him $4 million if he successfully covered up Biden's dementia and defrauded the country into "re"-electing Biden.

A longtime aide to former President Joe Biden admitted that he stood to gain up to $8 million if the Democratic leader won re-election in 2024, newly released video shows.

Michael Donilon served as senior advisor to the president for the entirety of Biden's four-year term. Their relationship goes back decades, however. Donilon first worked for Biden in 1981 when he was a U.S. senator from Delaware.

...

Donilon was then asked whether there were any circumstances under which he would have received a bonus, to which he acknowledged there was.

"What were those circumstances?" House Oversight Committee staff asked.
Mike Donilon walks to Marine One

Donilon said, "That Joe Biden would have been re-elected president of the United States."

That sum would have been $4 million, Donilon acknowledged, in addition to the $4 million he was already paid.

He defended it as "fair agreement" when asked if he believed it was a significant sum of money.

Donilon was then asked, "Do you think that the prospect of a significant payday, say $4 million, could impact someone's judgment in general?"

"Well, I think under the circumstances you're discussing, the incentive was to keep the president in the race. I, at the end, gave him the judgment that he should withdraw," Donilon responded.

"At the end." When the Democrat Party and Democrat-Antifa-Media Party all demanded Biden withdraw, he means.

The House Oversight Committee released video of Donilon's interview and others on the heels of its final report into Biden's autopen use.

The GOP-led report accused Biden's inner circle of actively conspiring to keep signs of diminishing mental acuity from the American public up until when he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., heaped doubt on whether Biden actually signed off on all of his executive actions when the autopen was used -- in particular, the thousands of clemency orders he authorized during his term.

Comer said Biden's autopen-authorized actions should be considered "void" and called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to review the matter.

By Electing Child-Murder Fantasist and Cop-Murder Enthusiast Jay Jones, Democrats Have Chosen Violence

At some point, they will succeed in convincing us that the path to political victory runs through rivers of blood, and won't that be fun.

Virginia voters just handed the state's top law enforcement job to a man who fantasizes about shooting Republicans in the head. Democrat Jay Jones, a former state delegate with a history of unhinged remarks, narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Jason Miyares on Tuesday, winning 51.6% of the vote with 80% of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. His victory marks a stunning comeback for a candidate who spent the final stretch of the campaign explaining away violent threats and a sketchy community service arrangement tied to a reckless driving case.

Jones's troubles began when 2022 text messages surfaced in which he told then--Republican colleague Carrie Coyner he'd give former House Speaker Todd Gilbert "two bullets to the head" and "piss on his grave." Coyner also recalled Jones remarking in 2020 that "the deaths of a few police officers could save other lives."

Just two days before those texts leaked, court records revealed that Jones had satisfied a reckless driving sentence -- after being caught going 116 mph in a 70 -- by logging half of his required 1,000 hours of community service with his own political action committee, Meet Our Moment. Prosecutors later appointed a special investigator to look into whether Jones misrepresented those hours. The deal spared him jail time and left him with only a $1,500 fine.

Miyares, whose mother escaped communist Cuba and who made history in 2021 as Virginia's first Hispanic attorney general, ran on law and order. But Democrats rallied around Jones despite the violent rhetoric and ethics questions, proving once again that partisan loyalty trumps basic decency.

David Strom lashes left-wing AWFLs -- nasty, vile women who pretend to be the nation's Moral Vanguard but who are in fact simply brutish, whorish enforcers of the Party line -- for their hypocrisy in whining about Trump's grab-'em-by-the-pussy locker-room braggadocio while electing a man who wants his political opponents' children shot dead.

I hope you are proud of yourselves. You sure "owned" Donald Trump and MAGA.

Yep. We hear all the time about decency being on the ballot and how "grab 'em by the pussy" was totally disqualifying. Trump is mean. He doesn't conform to the country's norms.

Women, in particular, are all about decency, norms, and kindness I am told, and the vote totals clearly show that. [Sarcasm. See exit polls below. -- ace]

I don't know what to say anymore to you guys, except that I don't recognize the country I grew up in. Virginia Democrats elected a governor who encouraged people to embrace their rage and gave the nod to a man who said that he would put two bullets in the head of one of his colleagues and be happy to see his children die in their mother's arms.

Only 46% of Virginia voters thought that was disqualifying, and as far as I can tell, every single one of them was a Republican.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Language of Confusion

NOTE: This piece was written before final election results came in last night. As a result, this is not about yesterday's winners and losers, though it is election-related. Feel free to go off-topic to the news of the day

On one of the weekend threads, I saw a comment that enraged me. Not because the commenter was wrong or offensive or because he was dishonest or anything like that, but because his comment underscored a very real problem that surfaces in nearly every election: the powers that be playing language games to con the public:

We voted early last week here in Texas. 17 constitutional amendments on the ballot. I skipped one because I could not understand what they were trying to accomplish the language was so convulated.

This is so common with ballot language that you can set your watch by it. Somebody wants to put one over on the public, and so writes something so confusing that they get the outcome they want through pure inscrutability. It isn't even as simple as "vote for or against or sit it out," because depending on how it is written, any of those things can be what the con men who wrote it actually want. The "see who's for it and decide accordingly" approach is usually better, but even that is still fraught with peril.
