The Morning Report — 6/ 11 /25

Good morning kids. Well, just the same old revolution but a different decade. The institutional Left which has more or less always operated within and had the political cover of he Democrat Party, to give it a veneer of legitimacy. Their goal was, is and always will be the destruction of America and of Western civilization itself.

Since Vietnam and the civil rights movement, any excuse to riot and cause violence and unrest at home was used as the pretext, not to protest whatever the issue was, legitimate grievance or otherwise notwithstanding, but to sow division and use it as the means to destabilize society and if possible to cripple the institutions that hold the society together and then overthrow the government.

The salient point here is that regardless of our foreign enemies meddling in our internal affairs to cripple us, be it the Chi-Coms or current Russians/Soviets of old, globalist foreign oligarchs, MEXICO - which must now be considered a foreign adversary, global Islam terror organizations and of course Iran, The only way that what we are witnessing is happening is because we have an alarming number of people of all ages that are American citizens who have such a hate on for their own country thanks to decades of indoctrination and propaganda from he schools and media/entertainment complex that they are willing to engage in open violent rebellion.

Remember, that Bill Ayers, who fantasized about what we are witnessing right now thought that he and his comrades in the Weathermen would seize absolute power but then would have to still liquidate upwards of 25 million Americans who would never accept him and who would never be "re-educated."

May the National Guard and US Marines stack the bodies of these violent traitors like so much cordwood.

And may everyone who is funding and giving political cover to these terrorists have their assets seized and/or be hanged by the neck for treason. If what we are witnessing isn't treason, then I don't know what the hell is.

If Democrat leaders are rallying their base to view the protests as a defense of democratic values, it may potentially escalate into more widespread conflicts similar to those that occurred in 2020. The involvement of figures like Maxine Waters, who attempted to intervene on behalf of rioters, further suggests a political stake in the unrest, though her rebuff by law enforcement highlights the limits of such influence.
. . . The speculative possibility of a civil war hinges on intent. If the Democrat Party is orchestrating or amplifying the riots, their aim may be to destabilize Trump’s administration, leveraging the chaos to rally support for progressive causes like open borders. If the funding allegations are substantiated they may point to a strategic investment in unrest, using groups like CHIRLA which is linked to ActBlue as proxies. However, this theory rests on ongoing investigations. While prominent leftists claim that the roots of the riots are organic, pre-printed signs and seemingly-coordinated appearances of large numbers of protesters continue to raise suspicions. Another concerning aspect is the actions of left-leaning judges to place the interests of illegal aliens over those of American citizens.

If the Democrats want a real shooting civil war, they're insane given the fact that our side is armed to the teeth and that the military as a whole, the Obama brass loyalists notwithstanding, are not or will not necessarily be on their side. No, what they want is to destabilize society and trust in our institutions so much so that average citizens will somehow see the Democrats as the adults in the room and allow them to take control. That too given everything the Democrats have done to America in just the past 5 years let alone the past 200 is equally delusional.

There are several essays in the lead that echo the salient point that this is the same revolution, with essentially the same players, plus global Islam in the mix, aiming to take America down and finding common cause with our native-born traitors.

This cannot be allowed to continue and God willing it is utterly crushed and soon, and everything must be done to ensure that this madness never rises again.

Now that the bastard child of Hermann Goering and a fireplug, Greta Thunberg has been sent back to the Islamic Republic of Malmo instead of being dumped over the side in the Mediterranean, how long do you suppose it will be before she winds up in Los Angeles, unless the National Guard and Marines can start stacking the corpses of the filthy human garbage engaging in violent revolution like cordwood?
My guess is she'll be landing at LAX within the next 24 to 48 hours.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great day.

Daily Tech News 11 June 2025

Top Story

• The Bluesky bubble hurts liberals and their causes. Here's why that's a good thing. (Washington Post) (archive site)
  
  Bluesky was an interesting attempt at redesigning the core architecture of Twitter, but had no natural userbase until Trump won the 2024 election, whereupon the craziest people on Twitter departed en masse all at once and created Bluesky accounts.
  
  That gave the site a massive boost in user numbers but at the same time a massive headache, because suddenly its users were overwhelming screamingly insane leftists with all the problems that come with them.

  For roughly a decade, Twitter hosted what is lightheartedly called the "national conversation" on issues of the day, particularly social justice and public health. Twitter never had that many users, compared with Instagram or Facebook. But it had a big group of influential users - politicians, policymakers, journalists and academics, all of whom were engaged in a 24/7 conversation about politics and current events.

  Mostly leftists, often far left, but at least, at the time, paying lip service to civility and rationality. Those days are far behind us.
  
  That's what they're trying to regain, but the more they tighten their grip, the more star systems slip through their fingers.

  That was a boon to progressives, who wielded outsize influence on the platform because they were early adopters who outnumbered the conservatives. They were also better organized and better networked, and had the sympathy of Twitter's professional-class employees, who proved increasingly susceptible to liberals' demands for tighter moderation policies on things such as using male pronouns to refer to a transgender woman.

  Translation: Stalinists policing speech.

  It's not surprising that progressives want to return to the good old days. But it's not working, and I'm skeptical it ever will.

  Those were the days, my friend. Thought they would never end.

  Something similar has happened on Bluesky. The nasty fringe has become even nastier: A Bluesky technical adviser recently felt the need to clarify that "The 'let's tell anyone we don't like to kill themselves' crowd are not welcome here" because left-wing trolls kept urging people who disagreed with them to commit suicide. And without the leavening influence of their opponents, Bluesky discourse appears even more censorious and doctrinaire than what progressives were saying on old Twitter.

  Jesse Singal, call your office.
  
  Oh yeah, the key point: Bluesky activity is down 50% since November; it's in a death spiral and there's likely no way out.

Democrats' New Effort to Outreach to Male Voters Features the Head of the DNC Whining and Crying That Fembot David Hogg Is Being Too Mean to Him

This is from yesterday but the Democrat-Media Party riots pushed it down the priority list.

There is leaked audio from a Zoom call between Democrat National Committee head Ken Martin and DNC Vice Chair for Choad Inspection David Hogg.

Ken Martin is nearly in tears -- or actually in tears --as he complains that David Hogg is making his job too hard and that David Hogg isn't Positioning Him For Success.

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told party leaders in a recent private conversation that he's unsure about his ability to lead the party because of infighting created by Vice Chair David Hogg.

"I'll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job ... the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don't know if I wanna do this anymore," he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers, according to a recording obtained by POLITICO.

In the recording, an emotional Martin describes being deeply frustrated by the fallout over Hogg, who has ignited a firestorm in the party by vowing to spend $20 million in safe-blue primaries to oust incumbent Democrats he believes are ineffective. Martin paused twice while appearing to choke up.

The intraparty feud, Martin said on the recording, is making it more difficult for the party to do its work -- and had ruined his ability to demonstrate leadership.

"No one knows who the hell I am, right? I'm trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money and do the job I need to to put ourselves in a position to win," Martin said, addressing Hogg. "And again, I don't think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it's really frustrating."

It was an extraordinary admission from the chair of the Democratic Party, just a few months after being elected to lead the party through its post-2024 crisis. The nearly two-minute clip does not include the entire conversation, including how Hogg and others may have responded to Martin.

Asked for an interview, Martin, 51, sent a statement through a spokesperson. In it, he said, "I'm not going anywhere."

...

Asked for comment, party leaders rallied behind Martin, expressing confidence in his leadership.

In a statement, DNC Associate Chair Shasti Conrad, who attended the Zoom meeting and was briefly mentioned on it, said Martin "showed vulnerability in a private conversation" and "stood up" for the Democratic Party.

"He shows up with authenticity. Always," she said. "That's what you'll hear on the tape."

He's an authentic pussy. Perfect representative of the Democrat Masculine Ideal.

I took an old Buzzfeed quiz titled "Which Sex & the City Character Are You?" I was hoping for Samantha, but I got "DNC Head Ken Martin." I didn't even know he was on the show.

I think AI took over the quiz to call me a f&ggot.

Unhinged ABC "News" Liberal Terry Moran Will Get a Head Start on That Podcast Career He's Been Itching to Begin

And Chuck Todd gets a podcast! And Chris Cillizza gets a podcast! And Chris Cuomo gets a podcast! And Don LeMon gets a podcast! And Joy Reid gets a podcast!

And now, Jake Tapper's liberal pal Terry Moran gets a podcast!

You all get a podcast! You'll all get the chance to be the Liberal Joe Rogan!

@CollinRugg

BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News, according to CNN's Brian Stelter.

ABC News, the same outlet that rigged the debate against Trump before the 2024 election, accused Moran of not being "fair."

"We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post, which was a clear violation of ABC News policies, we have made the decision to not renew."

"At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness, and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism."

Laughable. Moran was a perfect representation of ABC News. He should not have been fired.

Fox confirms the story.

Trump: If Los Angeles or California Enters a State of Insurrection, I Will Put It Down

Yes, please do.

President Trump on Tuesday made clear he's considering stronger federal intervention in response to violent demonstrations in Los Angeles, sparked by a wave of federal immigration enforcement raids. While not committing to action, Trump said invoking the Insurrection Act remained an option if the violence escalates.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump detailed what he described as "terrible" scenes from the previous evening, alleging that rioters had ripped up sections of concrete from the streets and hurled them at law enforcement vehicles. "If we didn't get involved, right now, Los Angeles would be burning," he said.

The president has already drawn criticism from California Democrats for authorizing the National Guard's deployment to Los Angeles without the governor's consent. But Trump defended the move and hinted that further steps--including the use of federal troops--may be necessary.

The Insurrection Act, first passed in 1807, gives the president legal authority to deploy U.S. military forces domestically to address insurrections or large-scale civil disturbances. Trump used the threat of the Act during the "Summer of Love" riots in 2020, and on Tuesday, he suggested similar conditions may be developing in Los Angeles.

Don't tell the New York Times: Right now, there's a Conspiracy Theory that lefties are ordering full-face masks so that their street paramilitaries can fight the police even after tear gas has been deployed.

The "evidence" for this conspiracy theory is photographs and videotape of the antifa riot masks being delivered. In other words -- more RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION AI CHEAPFAKES!

Judge Dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 Million Defamation Suit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times
Plus: Simone Biles Attacks Riley Gaines

The couple spoke with the New York Times to get their defamation more play.

A federal judge has thrown out actor Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against actress Blake Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, marking a decisive legal victory for the Hollywood couple. Baldoni had accused Lively of making false sexual harassment claims as part of an alleged reputational power play. However, the court found no actionable evidence to support the claims, dismissing the entire suit and paving the way for potential countersanctions against Baldoni and his affiliates.

Key Details:

Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Lively's statements in her civil rights complaint were legally privileged and non-actionable.

The court also dismissed claims against Reynolds, Lively's publicist Leslie Sloane, and the New York Times.

Lively's legal team is now seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages, and punitive damages against Baldoni and his Wayfarer company.

Diving Deeper:

The legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni stemmed from explosive allegations and counterclaims tied to their work on the film It Ends With Us. In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department accusing Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath of sexual harassment and related misconduct. Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation lawsuit, alleging Lively fabricated the claims to salvage her image following turmoil on the film's press tour.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman delivered a firm rebuke of Baldoni's claims. In a written opinion, Liman found that Lively's statements, confined to her CRD complaint, were privileged under the law and thus not grounds for defamation. Liman also dismissed related accusations that Reynolds, Sloane, or The New York Times knowingly spread false information about Baldoni, citing a lack of evidence that they acted with "actual malice."

I get the idea that allegations in a lawsuit are privileged and cannot be the basis of a defamation claim, but how does that insulate them from repeating the defamations to a New York Times reporter, or getting their publicist to spread the allegations around?

Liberal judges love finding ways to dismiss defamation lawsuits against liberals and liberal propaganda organizations.

...

Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, celebrated the ruling, calling it a "total victory and a complete vindication" for their client and those "dragged into [Baldoni's] retaliatory lawsuit." They further indicated intentions to pursue legal costs and damages from Baldoni and others associated with Wayfarer for what they termed "abusive litigation."

The fallout from this legal drama may not be over yet. Judge Liman gave Baldoni's team until June 23 to amend and refile only limited claims regarding tortious interference and breach of implied contract. The broader defamation effort, however, is effectively dead in the water.

In related news of lefties defaming people, overrated tumbling fireplug and Noted Quitter Simone Biles attacked Riley Gaines out of the blue for trying to keep men out of women's sports.

Gaines commented on this newest example of Stolen Women's Valor: a boy is now playing on a girl's softball team and you'll never guess. It turns out the boy is much, much better at softball than girls, and he "dragged" his team to the championship based mostly on his ability to absolutely dominate the female batters he was facing.

Trans Pitcher Marissa Rothenberger Drags Champlin Park to MN Girls Softball State Title

The date was June 6, 2025, when for the first time in recorded history, a transgender biological male (XY) won a state championship in Minnesota Girls (XX) high school softball.

Marissa Rothenberger -- born Charlie Dean Rothenberger until he began transitioning to a she at just 9 years old -- is now 6'0″ tall junior and the No. 1 pitcher for Champlin Park high school girls softball, which on Friday morning defeated Bloomington-Jefferson 6-0 in the 4A Minnesota State Championship.

Rothenberger is the ace of the team's pitching staff and probably the best high school softball pitcher in the state of Minnesota. On Friday, the towering 17-year-old with long blonde hair pitched a complete-game shutout and held Bloomington Jefferson to just 3 hits, bringing Marissa's 2025 pitching statistics to a rest at 94 IP, 0.74 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and .176 BAA.

It's very easy to win a girl's softball championship when your starting pitcher is Thor, God of Thunder.

Surprise! The Mind-Controlling Media Cult That Brought You Biden's Cheapfake "Presidency" Is Now Claiming That Videos Showing Arson and Violence in LA Are Also Cheapfakes

They literally never stop lying.

The New York Times says that if you're claiming that Democrats permit and encourage their street paramilitaries to commit violence to terrorize the population into supporting the Democrat agenda, you're pushing "conspiracy theories."

Disgraceful propaganda to push the Marxist revolutionary line:

Misleading photographs, videos and text have spread widely on social media as protests against immigrant raids have unfolded in Los Angeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories and expressing support for President Trump's actions.

Oh no, not that.

The flood of falsehoods online appeared intended to stoke outrage toward immigrants and political leaders, principally Democrats.

It's a conspiracy theory to say that Democrats justify and excuse violence and chaos to advance their agenda, says a Democrat propaganda rag justifying and excusing violence and chaos to advance their agenda.

They also added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets, which was portrayed in digital and social media through starkly divergent ideological lenses. Many posts created the false impression that the entire city was engulfed in violence, when the clashes were limited to only a small part.

Literally no one thought "the entire city was engulfed in violence." In no riots is the entire city engulfed in violence.

They're falsely claiming that conservatives are stupid and believe stupid things to make the case that we're wrong about the fact that the city was essentially paralyzed by violence. I mean, they shut down one of LA's most important highways, the 101.

There were numerous scenes of protesters throwing rocks or other objects at law enforcement officers and setting cars ablaze, including a number of self-driving Waymo taxis. At the same time, false images spread to revive old conspiracies that the protests were a planned provocation, not a spontaneous response to the immigration raids.

You mean like the California Democrat assemblyman who posted TikToks telling people that "something is going to happen" at the ICE detention center, not-so-subtly encouraging Democrat terrorists to make that something happen?

The confrontation escalated on Monday as new protests occurred and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced -- on X -- that he was mobilizing 700 Marines from a base near Los Angeles to guard federal buildings. They are expected to join 2,000 members of the California National Guard whom Mr. Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the state's governor, Gavin Newsom, who normally has command of the troops.

The latest deployments prompted a new wave of misleading images to spread -- some purporting to show Marines and the military service's weapons in action. One was a still from "Blue Thunder," a 1983 action-thriller about a conspiracy to deprive residents of Los Angeles of their civil rights. It features a climactic dogfight over the city's downtown.

Someone posted a meme of a sci-fi helicopter doing loop-de-loops and killing Malcolm McDowell and the New York Times is taking this as "disinformation" that proves that we're all spreading "conspiracy theories."

Darren L. Linvill, a researcher at Clemson University's Media Forensics Hub, said conservatives online were "building up the riots in a performative way "to help bolster Mr. Trump's claims that Los Angeles had been taken over by "violent, insurrectionist mobs."

Note that this argument is merely "conservatives are playing this story more heavily that liberals are." No shit. Liberals always hide stories about liberals acting badly.

This is not exposing a conspiracy theory -- this is just the New York Times whining that conservatives won't go along with their cultish erasure of history to fit the Democrat-Media Party narrative.

This is just the New York Times whining girlishly that conservatives won't believe them that the newest outbreak of Democrat-cultivated ultraviolence is No Big Deal, Brah.

Dr. Linvill said the posts were also "a bit self-fulfilling." "As they direct attention to it," he said, "more protesters will show up."

Of course. Perfect. "Akshually it's conservatives who are causing the riots by talking about the riots."

Thanks for putting us straight, New York Times.

Brian Stelter is again pushing that Democrat riots are just "cries for help."

Also, he insists that it's disinformation to post videos from a couple of hours ago, because.... Well, the fires might have gone out by now. So all videos of the fire are disinformation.

Kash Patel: The FBI is Investigating the Financing Behind the Terrorist Riots

Please seize the Soroses' money.

If Trump can be assessed a $500 million fine for, allegedly, overvaluing his companies in loan negotiations which the banks said they did not rely on and did not harm them, then the Soroses and all the other Billionaire Communists can have their estates seized, consistent with their political vision.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the bureau is actively investigating financial networks behind the escalating anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. The unrest, which began as protests over immigration raids, has turned violent--raising alarms about foreign interference and taxpayer-funded activism.

Key Details:

FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency is tracking financial support fueling the anti-ICE riots.

Footage of Mexican flags at violent scenes and past statements from Mexico's president have raised questions about foreign involvement.

A California-based activist group involved in early protests received nearly $34 million in taxpayer funding in 2023.

Diving Deeper:

As anti-ICE riots continue to grip Los Angeles, the FBI is zeroing in on who's funding the chaos. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Monday night that the bureau is "investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots."

...

The intensity of the violence--and the presence of foreign flags among the rioters--has sparked urgent questions in Washington about who's backing the movement.

"The FBI is actively tracing the money trail," former FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piehota told Just the News, explaining that law enforcement is likely targeting the financial and logistical support structures behind the riots. "They have become professional rabble-rousers...financed around the country to show up at different events and cause problems," he added.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) said he believes the protests are being manipulated by foreign interests. "They hate this country," Biggs said Monday. "Not a doubt in my mind" that foreign actors, including Mexico's government, are helping to stoke the unrest. He pointed to President Claudia Sheinbaum's past statements about mobilizing against U.S. immigration policy as evidence.

One organization helping lead the initial protests was CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights), which staged one of the earliest rallies last week and is part of a broader progressive activist network. Though CHIRLA claims it did not participate in the violence, it has drawn attention for its heavy reliance on taxpayer funding.

According to state filings, CHIRLA received nearly $34 million in 2023, most of it from California state contracts. The Biden administration had also awarded the group nearly $200,000 in federal grants before President Trump terminated that funding earlier this year.

Meanwhile, far-left activist groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), with known ties to the Chinese Communist Party, have also taken credit for organizing the protests. PSL is part of a broader web of anti-American groups tied to Neville Roy Singham, a pro-CCP billionaire who resides in Shanghai and has poured millions into leftist causes across the United States, including anti-ICE and anti-Israel demonstrations.

The FBI is showing itself to be redeemable. Pam Bondi says they successfully identified one of the attempted murderers of the terrorist riots.

Federal agents have tracked down a suspect who violently attacked law enforcement during the weekend's anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed Monday night. The man, identified by Bondi as "Reyes," was allegedly seen on video breaking cinderblocks and hurling the fragments at federal officers amid the chaos.

"That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house as we speak," Bondi announced during an appearance on Hannity. She described Reyes as "still at large," but made clear he would soon be placed on the FBI's most wanted list.

The Los Angeles field office of the FBI had previously announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the suspect, who is wanted for assaulting a federal officer and damaging government property.

Bondi emphasized that the attack wasn't incidental, recounting how the suspect "was breaking up the cinder blocks and he was throwing them" directly at federal law enforcement officials. "He has been identified by great police work by the FBI," she said. "So you can run. You can't hide. We are coming after you, federally."

Bondi's remarks also served as a broader message to other rioters and agitators involved in the weekend unrest. "If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on a police officer, we're coming after you," she warned.

Wall Street Journal: The Corrupt Biden Administration Put Musk Under State Surveillance for Two Years After He Bought Twitter

Ed Morrissey:

Gavin Newsom and leading Democrats have spent the last few days fulminating about "authoritarianism" by Donald Trump for sending National Guard and Marine units to protect federal law enforcement agents and sites. What will they have to say when they discover that the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice spied on an industrialist supporter of the opposition party?
Advertisement

Oh, wait, Trump didn't do that. Joe Biden did that. For two years, according to the Wall Street Journal, Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas surveilled Elon Musk and his contacts to check out "influence." This seems to have started around the time that Musk bought Twitter and refused to participate in the Biden administration's Big Tech-Big Government Censorship Complex:

Several U.S. government agencies in 2022 and 2023 tracked foreign nationals coming and going to Elon Musk's properties, according to people familiar with the matter.

The investigation included the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department. It focused on people visiting the tech billionaire, from countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, who might have been trying to influence him. Until last week, Musk was one of President Trump's closest advisers. ...

The probe, predating the current Trump administration, highlights concerns about the number of foreign nationals in Musk's orbit. Musk runs five companies, including SpaceX, with sensitive government contracts, and has had unprecedented access to top government officials.

Note the pretext for spying on this political enemy of Biden's is the same pretext the Democrat-Media Party used to launch the RussiaGate Hoax: We're so, so scared that our political enemy is talking to foreigners we're compelled to spy on him and get FISA warrants against him.

Musk seems to have reconsidered some of the things he said during his Twitter meltdown:

The feud between Elon Musk and President Trump appears to be cooling--at least publicly--as Musk on Friday deleted a provocative tweet accusing Trump of being tied to the long-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files. The now-removed post had read: "Time to drop the really big bomb... @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!"

The accusation came amid Musk's multi-day online assault on Trump's proposed spending bill, which he labeled as bloated and misguided. But the tweet quickly triggered a wave of rebuttals, including from David Schoen, Epstein's former criminal defense lawyer.

"I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he [Epstein] had no information to hurt President Trump," Schoen wrote on X. "I specifically asked him!"

The White House dismissed Musk's outburst as political sour grapes. "This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday. "The president is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again."

Trump is also conciliatory:

Shelby Talcott
@ShelbyTalcott

Trump says he doesn't plan to remove Starlink wifi from the White House, calling it "a good service." And he says he isn't planning to get rid of the Tesla, but might "move the Tesla around a little bit."

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Vice President Vance recently said that the United States was "governed by complete morons" before Donald Trump took office. He was talking about the catastrophe of the Biden administration and their ignorance of the fragility of supply chains, but Gavin Newsom has stepped in admirably to fill in the gaps with not just ignorance, but stunning stupidity!

Californians pay the bills for the federal government.

We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back.

Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump. pic.twitter.com/lwFHFSgSyJ

— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 6, 2025

If that were the only calculation, then anyone who makes more in income than he receives from the federal government could claim the same thing. That is the undeniable reality of a progressive tax system. But is even dumber than that; the Trump administration is threatening to withhold funds from California because they aren't following federal law (Title IX) as currently interpreted. That is a tried and true method for forcing the states to do the federal government's bidding. Remember 55 mph speed limits? And exactly how would California withhold federal tax payments? Order every business to stop withholding federal taxes from their employees' paychecks, and instead send the funds to the state? That's...nuts! Tit-For-Tat simply doesn't work.

Bessent condemns Newsom's 'dangerous' threat to withhold $80B in federal taxes amid trans athlete controversy

If the California governor were to follow through with his threat, Bessent said in a Sunday post on X that it would constitute tax evasion.

Newsom's plan would defraud American taxpayers while leaving California residents on the hook for any unpaid federal taxes, the treasury secretary wrote.

Governor @GavinNewsom is threatening to commit criminal tax evasion.

His plan: defraud the American taxpayer and leave California residents on the hook for unpaid federal taxes. (1/3) https://t.co/fn7ch7WwoC

— Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (@SecScottBessent) June 8, 2025

It is of course just bluster, and Treasury Secretary Bessent does an admirable job of making Newsom look like the idiot that he is. But the lack of seriousness is becoming a recurrent theme in California and many other blue states. The hilariously confused charge that there are no riots, but they were made worse by President Trump's mobilization of the National Guard, is an excellent example of the clownish fools we have in many positions of power. A United States senator advocating for more riots to combat ICE's legal activity to protect America from criminal aliens? Or the house minority leader threatening to expose federal agents?

Obviously these people have become complacent over the last generation; they have a compliant media that are unwilling to examine critically even the most outrageous and idiotic pontifications. They have carte blanche to say the most ridiculous things, and advocate for blatantly illegal policies, because the 4th Estate are 100% in the bag for them.

Yet in the grand scheme, this is a good thing. The monopoly that the mainstream media had is no longer extant, and the American people have access to both the stupidity emanating from the political class AND they can see the underlying facts. That is a big reason why Donald Trump is president, and it is an encouraging sign that the titanic shift that so many are predicting may actually occur.

The Morning Report — 6/ 10 /25

Good morning kids. When you consider what's happening in LA and evidently breaking out or ready to break out elsewhere, I suppose it could be worse. Instead of rioting against law enforcement and the removal of alien invaders, They could be rioting against those who oppose the imposition of Sharia Law and the Islamization of America. Worse still, rioting in order to impose it. Looking at what's happening in Europe, that is a likely scenario here within perhaps a decade or two at the outside. With Muslims and Leftists, at least for the present, tied at the hip with a kind of Molotov/Ribbentrop pact as they each carve up Poland. The only difference in the analogy is that the Leftists view the Muslims as allies in perpetuity not realizing that once America as founded is destroyed, the Leftists will be first to lose their heads or have their courtesy homosexual flying lesson off of the top of the Freedom Tower or Washington Monument.

In light of what's happening here this link from yesterday tends to resonate rather frighteningly.

Do We Really Want NATO Countries to Spend More on Weapons?

Current projections indicate significant growth in the Muslim populations of these three critical NATO members by 2050. The Pew Research Center, in its “Europe’s Growing Muslim Population“ report, projects that under a “medium migration” scenario, the Muslim population in France could reach approximately 17-18% of the total, the UK could reach around 16.7%, and Germany approximately 10.8%. Under a “high migration” scenario, Germany’s Muslim population could reach about 20%, France’s 18%, and the UK’s close to 20%. These are substantial shifts from their current proportions.

And 113 Dems vote No on resolution to condemn the anti-semitic terror attack on Jews in Boulder CO. Lots of resonating, yo.

God bless and protect President Trump, for having both the courage and wisdom in calling up the National Guard as well as the Marines to protect life and property in Los Angeles. The Left is now escalating the conflict by openly calling up its cadres in NYC, San Francisco, Nashville, Florida and elsewhere. There is no way in hell that this is some sort of organic protest movement. Someone or some group somewhere is organizing, directing and funding what amounts to a violent insurrection by using the legitimate actions of ICE and law enforcement in the apprehension and deportation of illegal aliens, be they dangerous criminals as an alarmingly large number are or merely foreign nationals on our soil without permission, as cover to destabilize if not actually overthrow the government. If not in one fell swoop then by creating a sense of fear and panic among the citizenry that their government cannot protect them and that it and the MAGA movement, and anything other than the Democrat Party is totalitarian/fascistic etc. etc. etc. as has been broadcast 24/7/365 ever since Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator and was sworn in.

And make no mistake, the Democrat Party itself is up to its degenerate evil rotten neck in this all the way.

“I mean, my first message is to keep it peaceful,” Murphy declared. “I mean, obviously, this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what’s happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what’s happening to our democracy. This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the country, and we are going to rise to this moment by being out there on the streets.”

Chris Murphy. Who the fuck does this subhuman degenerate scumbag traitorous tyrant think he's fooling. Certainly not the average, law-abiding normal American citizen. Whom he and his ilk only seek out like Dracula seeks out the jugular vein of an unsuspecting victim.

Now some cruelty, and truth, from the man who knows how to dish it up, Victor Davis Hanson:

What triggered the American Civil War were state officials who refused to honor federal law and instead boasted of their open defiance of Washington.

That precedent apparently is the incendiary model for the weird, but dangerous recent behavior of an increasingly unhinged California Governor Gavin Newsom.

He is currently supporting the often-violent protestors in Los Angeles and their resistance to federal officials’ enforcement of immigration laws.

Newsom claimed that Trump’s use of ICE to detain those here illegally in the U.S. was “reckless”, “chaotic” and “eroding trust”.

Does he think that his own rhetoric is creating calm and building trust by opposing the lawful enforcement of federal statutes? Or is he following the baleful model of arch-Confederate rebel Jefferson Davis? . . .

. . . Does the governor grasp that his reckless states’ rights rhetoric empowers violent protestors who torch cars, pelt passersbys, and assault officers?

Take, for example, fellow California Democrat, Congresswoman Norma Torres. She just messaged federal immigration officers with the obscene threat,“Get the f— out of LA.”

Does Torres believe that Los Angeles should become a modern-day South Carolina of 1861, boasting that it will defy the federal government?

Is Torres echoing Democrat and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries? He just boasted that he would dox endangered ICE agents, publishing their personal information and revealing their identities (“Every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will of course be identified.”.

How exactly does Rep. Torres think she is going to get federal officers “the f— out of LA”?

To paraphrase her mentor Comrade Stalin, How many divisions does Torres have?

I have a great deal of admiration and respect for Christopher Rufo, but his essay entitled Trump Should Crush the L.A. Riots—with a Subtle Hand, How the president can restore order and win the war for visual symbolism, makes no sense. I invite him to define the word "subtle" in the context of this situation. Love you, brother, but we're not engaged in a debate on stage at Oxford. The Leftists doing this to us do not want a debate. They want us dead or subjugated. The only response to tyranny is to destroy it utterly.

Dear friend and friend of the blog, the wonderful, witty and wise Michael Walsh has got the right idea:

The consequences of America's failure to act on its victory in the Cold War, so carelessly thrown away by the Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations, are now playing out, first in the judiciary and now in the streets. What started as legal challenges in federal courts across the land has turned into open rebellion, to which has now been added foreign interference in America's internal affairs. It's a powderkeg, but this time the Left will either step down or be put down. . .

. . . the self-induced "plight" of the illegal aliens has not been helped by their penchant for waving the Mexican flag and sporting the "Palestinian" tablecloth called a keffiyeh around their neck as they set cars afire. Call it the Thunbergian Unified Field Theory of Revolution: a synthesis of "climate change," Gaza, Jew hatred, "immigration," and playing hooky from school. Nor has the Mexican president Claudia Shinebaum helped matters by supporting the "rights" of her illegals in the U.S. and encouraging their continuing theft of American resources via remittances sent back home. Tax those at 100% percent and watch the illegal-invasion problem largely vanish overnight. Meanwhile, the public is solidly behind Trump. Americans love nothing than a righteous, thumping beat-down of the bad guys. For the violent insurrectionist Left, it's been a long time coming. The last time Democrats resisted an election and nullified federal law began in 1861 at Fort Sumter, ended four years later at Appomattox. Let's see how they choose to play it this time.

Excellent essay, but when Walsh asserts ". . . the Left will either step down or be put down." my reaction is they will never ever step down, so that begs the question, how will they be put down?

Given their delusions of being Good and of us and all who oppose them as Evil, where "by any means necessary" is their call to arms to save democracy, the planet, the future, Pete Buttigieg's right to lactate cockroach milk, or whatever. That gives them the insane illusory right to claim and foist their mythological status as having absolute moral authority to do anything to anyone at any time.

And so, if they are to be put down, which regrettably is clearly the case, I ask by whom because to do so requires their complete political/societal/cultural if not literal physical annihilation, once and for all. Pace Chris Rufo, there is no subtle way to eradicate cancer. You either cut it out or it ultimately kills you.

For sure, be it foreign actors in Mexico or Beijing, the likes of George Soros et al, or Domestic anti-American groups (Antifa, BLM, SJP, CAIR, ELF, trade unions and the Democrat Party itself) the DOJ and FBI need to RICO the living shit out of them, prosecute their leadership, seize their assets and dismantle them like that other Democrat group the KKK was dismantled.

If not, La Raza will reconquista us into La GAZA if we don't stop this now, and mercilessly.

If Homan and Trump don't want to arrest Newsom and Bass, can they at least grab this dame in Minnesota and get her a window seat on the first flight out on Aerolineas Pinochet?

A Democrat lawmaker in the Minnesota state House of Representatives admitted during a floor debate on Monday that she is an illegal immigrant. State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (D), during a debate on expanding illegal immigrant eligibility for MinnesotaCare, revealed that her father had committed immigration fraud, listing his grandmother as his mother, as the latter was deceased.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great day.

Guess Who's Funding the Riots? You Are, Of Course!

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_

Rioters in LA now throwing fireworks at police horses.

Laura Powell reports that the federal and California government are funding anti-American terrorist group's riots.

EXCLUSIVE: Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Behind the Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles.

Over the past two days, ICE agents have conducted targeted operations across the Los Angeles region, detaining more than 40 suspected illegal aliens. These enforcement actions triggered large-scale demonstrations, some of which turned confrontational, with reports of vandalism, blocked traffic, and physical clashes with federal agents.

The unrest has prompted questions about who is organizing and funding these protests. One of the organizations at the center of the resistance to ICE is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles nonprofit that has long provided legal and advocacy services to illegal aliens. CHIRLA is known for radical positions on immigration--for example, it led a campaign to abolish ICE in 2018.

Yesterday afternoon, as clashes with federal law enforcement were heating up, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference during which she announced that the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network's hotline had received more than 50 calls reporting ICE activity and sightings of "men in military garb." LARRN is organized by a coalition of nonprofits, and CHIRLA plays a central role, using its main phone line as the hotline number. LARRN's hotline is one of the communication systems that allows legal observers, volunteers, and other activists to be quickly dispatched to the scene of immigration enforcement actions.

During her remarks, Salas referred to SEIU California President David Huerta as her "brother," highlighting CHIRLA's close ties to organized labor in California. Huerta had been arrested during one of the protests for blocking the path of an ICE vehicle, as shown by video footage released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his unequivocal support for Huerta, claiming he was only "witnessing" the action, while Essayli announced his intention to file criminal charges.

For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has defiantly opposed federal immigration enforcement in the city, stating on social media Friday, "We will not stand for this" and "No vamos a permitir estas acciones," ("We are not going to permit these actions"). She added that her office would collaborate with community-based organizations that serve immigrants. She has a long relationship with CHIRLA and bragged last year about obtaining federal funding for CHIRLA's programs. That grant is part of a broader stream of public dollars that the organization receives from government sources.

In fact, according to a financial audit submitted to the state, the CHIRLA organization received nearly $34 million in revenue from government contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with 96% of that funding from the State of California. That figure marks a sharp increase from the prior year, when it received around $12 million in government contract revenue. Agencies contributing to CHIRLA's funding during this period included the California Department of Social Services, the California Arts Council, the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Homeland Security. Notably, as mentioned above, a DHS contract funded CHIRLA to provide citizenship instruction and naturalization services.

With $100,000 remaining on CHIRLA's contract, DHS froze the remaining funds in February. CHIRLA responded by suing. The court denied their motion for a preliminary injunction on May 29. This is one of two lawsuits CHIRLA filed against DHS this year. The other was dismissed for lack of standing and is on appeal.

To sum up how this works: Your tax dollars fund an organization that organizes efforts to directly interfere with the federal government's lawful exercise of authority. Then, through its lobbying arm, that organization helps get Democrats elected to office, who then repay the favor by ensuring increased funding.

This is the nonprofit industrial complex at work.

The California state government is also funding CHIRLA and other street terrorism groups.

Laura Powell
@LauraPowellEsq

If you are a Californian, the current LA riots are an example of your tax dollars hard at work.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Right--CHIRLA--is one of the key players in fomenting the violent response to immigration enforcement actions. It's an LA-based nonprofit with a history of taking radical positions on immigration; for example, it led a 2018 campaign to abolish ICE. It currently leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which gathers intel about enforcement actions and deploys activists to respond.

CHIRLA has strong ties to the Democrat Party in California and has supported the election of Democratic candidates through its lobbying arm. It has a particularly close relationship with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The organization also has a close relationship with organized labor in the state, which in turn is a major financial supporter of Democrat politicians. On Friday, amid rising tensions, CHIRLA held a rally protesting ICE's enforcement actions and the arrest of SEIU President David Huerta for obstruction.

The incredible part is that CHIRLA's activities are primarily funded by California taxpayers. I obtained a financial audit that shows that for the fiscal year ending June 2023, it received $34 million from the state, mostly through the Department of Social Services, accounting for 72% of its total revenue. This was nearly a three-fold increase over the previous year.

CHIRLA also received a $450,000 federal contract in 2023, which Mayor Bass publicly took credit for helping secure. DHS froze funding in February, which prompted a lawsuit from CHIRLA. DHA then canceled the contract, and the lawsuit was then dismissed.

Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex--now we face a nonprofit-industrial complex.

Teachers union communist Randi Weingarten is already pushing a new day of intifada on June fourteenth -- this Saturday.

Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom Blame Democrat Rioters' Violence on Trump

They're doing everything they can to avoid criticizing their antifa street militias, Hamas jihadists, and foreign invaders for their violence.

This is a MAJOR rule of antifa and other violent black block street paramilitaries: You must never, NEVER criticize your fellow left-wing "protesters" for their violence.

They call this "respecting a diversity of tactics." In other words, you might favor non-violent protest, but if your fellow left-wing allies resort to arson, assault, and even murder in the name of your cause, you must not criticize them or point out the terrorists to the police. There is a "diversity of tactics" permitted in "protests," and everyone on the left must respect antifa's and BLM's choice to engage in wanton arson, looting, and violent assaults.

Dave Reaboi and Kyle Shideler wrote about this in October 2020, as antifa and related Democrat street paramilitaries organized to shut the entire country down if Trump won the election. Well, he did win it; I mean, if the effort to "fortify" the election was thwarted.

They wrote of the plan to deploy peaceful protesters mixed in with violent sociopaths, who the peaceful protesters would be made to support and defend.

The two groups are curious in their similarities and differences. While the Shutdown DC group appears to be made up of environmental anarchists--and sponsored by a self-described Antifa group--its organizers are seasoned and professionally-trained, and at least one is a union organizer. "Hold the Line" is more academic in appearance; it draws its organizers from the non-profit advocacy and digital tech worlds. Because of its focus on nonviolent street action and mobilization, this document appears to be targeting liberals closer to the mainstream.

These two approaches--tailored to two specific types of audiences along the radicalization path--work together in what left-wing organizers have long called, "diversity of tactics." Without using the term, the authors of "Stopping the Coup: The 2020 Guide" addressed this point.

It's important to locate strategic thinking, and offer strategic tools at the grassroots level. If our different organizations, crews, and affinity groups have a shared understanding of the strategy involved we can accommodate different tactics, different groups taking lead on actions at different times, and trust that individual participants and organizers can move with confidence that they are furthering movement goals. This doesn't mean that every group you try to organize with immediately will be the right fit for the fight. It's ok to set an agenda and invite participation and allow groups to choose. (Emphasis added.)

Choose violence, they mean.

Participants in nonviolent efforts must not be made to directly condemn the violent direct-actions of others in the coalition. Rather than a moral or ethical objection to violence, this is a strategy that allows both violent and non-violent approaches to exist on a continuum. While politicians, law enforcement, and even some conservative commentators may criticize Antifa and other violent direct-action anarchists, all are publicly insisting that Antifa are merely unwanted agitators in the midst of legitimate protests.

But this is wrong. In any given protest, the "agitators" and the "legitimate protestors" are, instead, two products of the same industry which exist in a symbiotic relationship, and may even share overt memorandums regarding agreement on tactics. While Antifa relies upon the mass protest in order to hide among the crowd, the public destruction committed by Antifa draws attention and adds urgency to the political demands of the larger movement.

This is exactly the imperative behind official Democrat-Media Party messaging right now: We must never condemn our violent revolutionary foot-soldiers. We will deny that they are violent at all, and, when that fails, we will simply say that Trump provoked the Peaceful Protesters into violence.

Kamala Harris respects antifa's Diversity of Tactics.

Kamala Harris broke her silence more than 30 hours after violent immigration riots erupted in Los Angeles--but aimed her fire at President Trump, not the protesters. She called the National Guard deployment a "dangerous escalation," accusing Trump of stoking fear.

Key Details:

Harris posted a statement to X late Sunday, saying Trump's decision to send in the National Guard "is meant to provoke chaos," accusing the administration of using fear to divide Americans.

Harris praised the ongoing demonstrations, calling them "overwhelmingly peaceful," despite viral footage showing protesters hurling rocks, torching vehicles, and vandalizing federal property.

Her comments echoed those of California Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who called the National Guard deployment "inflammatory" and a "chaotic escalation."

This is official antifa protocol in operation: Never, ever condemn or even criticize the left's black bloc rioters and arsonists. Deny they're doing anything at all, and when that fails, suggest that their violent response to police (and shoe stores) is justified by the "provocation" they've endured.

Obviously Maxine Waters, a major instigator and defender of the disastrous 1992 Rodney King riots, supports a "diversity of tactics" when fighting Whitey.

Tensions flared again in Los Angeles this week as Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) joined anti-ICE demonstrators on the streets, escalating a volatile situation with harsh rhetoric aimed at federal agents and National Guard troops deployed by President Trump.

The California Democrat, a longtime defender of sanctuary cities, was captured on video berating National Guard troops standing outside the Los Angeles Federal Building -- where ICE agents had taken refuge following days of violent protests. The National Guard was activated after mobs swarmed immigration enforcement operations, attacked federal vehicles, and lit fires across downtown L.A.

"Why do you have guns?" Waters shouted at the soldiers. "What are you going to do, you going to shoot some kid who's afraid of you and runs? You going to shoot an elected official? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight."

Waters continued her tirade, accusing the Trump administration of bypassing California officials to deploy troops in an "outrageous attempt to not only target our sanctuary city but to frighten us and intimidate us."

Sean Spicer from 2Way points out that an elected Democrat assemblyman seemed to deliberately instigate the attack on the ICE building. He went to the site, before any riots, running video and "warning" -- more like "cheerleading" -- that "something is going to happen here," and posted that video on TikTok. He was effectively encouraging people to the building and make that "something" happen. He was summoning the rioters.

And obviously Gavin Newsom supports a "diversity of tactics" by his antifa and Hamas jihadi allies. Even though local police departments have confessed they cannot stop the violence, he is suing Trump to leave his antifa and jihadist allies continue their Mostly Peaceful Deadly Assaults on cops.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is threatening to sue the Trump Administration after President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles County in response to riots over stepped-up federal immigration enforcement.

In an appearance on MSNBC late Sunday, Newsom called the federal move an "unconstitutional act," and accused the Trump Administration of bypassing state authority. The Democrat governor doubled down in a social media post, saying, "Commandeering a state's National Guard without consulting the Governor of that state is illegal and immoral."

"Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He's exacerbated the conditions. He's, you know, lit the proverbial match. He's putting fuel on this fire, ever since he announced he was taking over the National Guard -- an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act," Newsom said on MSNBC.

The problem is never antifa, the black bloc, or the Hamas jihadists literally gunning down Jews in the streets.

The problem is always the people who "provoke" them into committing murder and mayhem.

The Democrat-Media Party two-step on violence committed by their allied street paramilitaries:

1, It's not happening

2, Okay it's happening, but the fascists forced us to burn their cars
