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.

Laura Powell
@LauraPowellEsq

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

ABC "News" Suspends Woke Partisan Activist Terry Moran for Unhinged Attack on Trump Staffer Stephen Miller

ABC "News" had no idea -- none! -- that Terry Moran was a woke activist before this.

ABC News suspended correspondent Terry Moran after he described Trump adviser Stephen Miller as a "world-class hater" in a post critics say exposed the deep-rooted bias in mainstream media. The network called Moran's comments "subjective personal attacks" and a violation of journalistic standards.

Key Details:

Moran posted late Saturday night that Miller is "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred," calling both Miller and Trump "world-class haters."
ABC News suspended Moran, saying the comments do "not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards."
Vice President JD Vance called the remarks a "vile smear," while the White House press secretary blasted them as "unacceptable and unhinged."

Diving Deeper:

ABC News is under fire after suspending Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran for a late-night social media tirade targeting Stephen Miller, a top adviser to President Donald Trump. In a since-deleted post on X, Moran unleashed a highly personal critique of Miller, claiming the White House aide is "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred" and feeds on it "like spiritual nourishment."

"The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism," Moran wrote. "It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater."

The post also lumped Trump into the same category, calling both him and Miller "world-class" haters--language that ignited swift condemnation from conservatives and further fueled distrust of corporate media.

ABC News confirmed Moran's suspension to Axios, stating: "ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards."

The response from the Trump Administration was immediate. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on Fox News Sunday morning, calling Moran's rhetoric "unacceptable and unhinged." She added, "I think this speaks to the distrust that the American public have in the legacy media."

Vice President JD Vance echoed those sentiments in a post of his own, calling Moran's words a "vile smear."

Stephen Miller, a central figure in the administration's hardline immigration policy, responded directly, saying, "For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist's pose."

Here's my Terry Moran memory: During Obama's first inauguration, one nasty ABC "News" reporter said something completely vicious about the troops. Something along the lines of how the racists in the military must hate it to have to salute a black president. Or something like that. This was a long time ago.

I incorrectly attributed it to Fake Jake Tapper, who DMd me to insist he hadn't said it. I asked "Well someone said it, who's in the booth with you?" but he refused to tell me. It was a state secret. He just demanded that I take down my report that he had said it, without giving me any tip about who did say it.

After rewinding the tape an hour to finally hear which ABC "reporter" was covering the inauguration with Tapper, I found out it was Terry Moran.

As Their Fellow Democrats Attempt to Murder Police, Some Democrats Actually Say to Tamp Down on Violence.
Not Because It's Wrong, But Only Because It Plays Into Trump's Hands.

Physics Geek
@physicsgeek

Dems, a few hours ago: There are no riots occurring.

Dems, now: Please stop rioting because it will help the GOP.

Note well how it's never "Please don't riot because it's bad and against the law." Everything is viewed through the prism of "does it help or hurt our party?"

Adam Schiff
@SenAdamSchiff

Los Angeles -- violence is never the answer. Assaulting law enforcement is never ok.

Indeed, doing so plays directly into the hands of those who seek to antagonize and weaponize the situation for their own gain.

Don't let them succeed.

I linked this earlier, but if you missed it: Terrorists hurl heavy chunks of concrete from a bridge overpass and hit a cop in the head. That cop may well end up dying. It's an attempted murder that may, unfortunately, become an actual murder.

And the Democrat-Media Party defends this and claims it's "mostly peaceful."

And Democrats say "don't murder police, only because it Helps Trump."

Bonchie links John Heilmann claiming "there was nothing like a riot on Friday and Saturday night" to conform with the Democrat-Media Party line that it was Trump who escalated this into riots.

But we watched the riots Friday and Saturday night.

Bonchie
@bonchieredstate

Again, I ask, if they'll lie about something this obvious, countering video evidence, what won't they lie to you about?

How did we get four years of lying about Joe Biden's health? This is how. There are no limits.

Megan Basham makes a similar point about John Heilmann's relentless disinformation and gaslighting:

Megan Basham
@megbasham

I think what we are seeing is a media that does not know how to adjust to the new American awareness of their duplicity. So they keep doubling down, somehow failing to realize that every time they do it, the already record-low opinion Americans have of them sinks lower.

Antifa terrorists are throwing tear gas canisters back at police -- which is assault. They also brought leaf-blowers to blow gas at the police.

In the midst of rioting, car burnings, and attempted murder against the police, Maxine Waters calls for people to take to the streets to "resist."

Apparently Mexicans are now all Palestinians.

The Sweethearts of the Rainbow Jihad were also well-represented.

What do we do when Our Strength turns against us?

Israel Arrests Greta Thunberg and Her Terror Boat; They'll Force Her to Watch 43 Minutes of Hamas Footage of their Murders and Rapes

It won't matter. She is possessed by demons.

Her boat carried less than one truck-full of food, which she claimed she was bringing to Gaza to stop the genocide.

They needed all that space for their videocameras, phones, and make-up kits.

This Israelis call her boat "the selfie yacht."

Israeli naval forces boarded and detained a boat of activists, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, early Monday as it attempted to breach the Gaza maritime blockade.

Key Details:

The intercepted vessel, Madleen, was part of a pro-Palestinian mission led by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which aimed to challenge Israel's naval blockade and deliver aid to Gaza.

Among the 12 detained were Greta Thunberg, Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila, and French-Palestinian European Parliament Member Rima Hassan. They are expected to be deported after reaching Ashdod Port.

Israeli authorities criticized the voyage as a publicity stunt, calling it a "selfie yacht" mission and warning it undermined legitimate humanitarian efforts and risked Israeli security.

She's claiming Israel has "kidnapped" her.

Democrat-Media Party Insists Again That the Democrat Media Party Riots are Firey But Mostly Peaceful

They're insisting the city is "calm" and that the riots are "peaceful" as video of burning and even exploding cars plays.

John Ekdahl
@JohnEkdahl

Didn't we just have a whole round of apologies and assurances about "missing the story"?

Now, mere weeks later, journalists are repeating Democrats' unfounded claims uncritically as we see clear incontrovertible video evidence that they're lying.
It's happening all over again.

MSNBC's John Heilmann: "Governor Newsom is right, there wasn't anything like a riot on Friday and Saturday night."

Tater: We have to keep this in perspective, 99.9% of LA is NOT on fire.

This bloated pig has pushed January 6th as the worst riot in history for five years straight. He never once mentioned "perspective" and never once observed that 99.9% of DC was relatively normal on January 6th. He never once pointed out that the majority of the people protesting on January 6th were mostly peaceful, and in fact, most were entirely peaceful.

As the Democrat Party Burns Down All of the Cities (Again), a CBS Poll Shows Firm Majority Support for Deportations

Another Insurrection Summer of Love.

A new CBS News poll shows most Americans support President Trump's immigration enforcement policies, crediting the program with improving public safety. But approval varies depending on perceptions of who's being deported and how the program is carried out.

Key Details:

A slight majority say the deportation program focuses on dangerous criminals, leading to strong support.

Republicans overwhelmingly approve, while Independents' support has cooled in recent months.

Most Americans say the policy improves safety, but concerns remain over due process and potential economic impact.

Diving Deeper:

President Trump's deportation strategy is receiving net-positive approval from a majority of Americans, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll, as the administration doubles down on efforts to remove illegal aliens from the country. The results come amid a weekend of protests in Los Angeles and national debate over how far the policy should go -- and who exactly is being targeted.

The poll, conducted June 4--6 with over 2,400 respondents, found that while views on the scope of the deportation program vary, more Americans believe it's making the country safer. A slim majority said they believe the administration is prioritizing the deportation of individuals they consider dangerous criminals -- and those respondents overwhelmingly support the program.

Among Republicans, support is dominant and unshaken. CBS notes that "Trump's approval rating on immigration continues to be higher than his marks on the economy and inflation." Among Democrats and Independents, however, views are more fractured, particularly when deportations appear broader than expected or when legal residents are swept up.

The core of Trump's approach -- removing illegal aliens with criminal records -- is resonating. More Americans say they see the U.S. becoming safer because of the program than say the opposite. That perception is helping to insulate Trump from critics who argue the policies are overly aggressive.

I'll get another post up soon. I know this one is lame.

THE MORNING RANT: A Ship Full of Burning EVs Abandoned and Left Adrift at Sea

Last week, a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean, a couple hundred miles south of the Aleutian Islands, had to be abandoned due to a fire that couldn’t be contained. The ship, “Morning Midas,” was transporting vehicles, including hundreds of EVs. The ship is now adrift in the Pacific, still on fire.

“An abandoned ship full of EVs is burning in the Pacific; The crew of the Morning Midas had to abandon ship in lifeboats off the coast of Alaska.” [Popular Science]

A cargo ship transporting 3,000 cars was abandoned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday after a massive fire broke out. As of Friday, the ship was still burning. The blaze may have been fueled by the vehicles’ lithium-ion batteries, which are notoriously difficult to extinguish once ignited.

The ship, named Morning Midas, was reportedly carrying 3,000 cars on a journey from Yantai, China to Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico. Of those vehicles, about 750 were fully electric or partial hybrids, powered at least in part by large lithium ion batteries that can short circuit and ignite extremely hot fires.

Aside from the risk of an uncontainable fire on a ship at sea, there is the mounting problem of the cost to insurers of ships that keep getting destroyed, as well as the value of the destroyed cargo.

There is also a nasty environmental impact. As Darren of Plymouth documented at Twitter, ”The Morning Midas cargo ship, carrying electric cars from China to Mexico, is on fire and abandoned, a potential highly toxic floating lithium bomb. Burning EV batteries release dangerous chemicals including hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen cyanide, as well as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and methane. These leach into the environment. This is the green movement so many worship in action. This vessel will continue to burn until it sinks.”

These electric vehicle fires at sea are establishing a pattern. At least no crew members died in the Morning Midas fire. A crew member on the Fremantle Highway was not so lucky two years ago, dying in that EV-fueled fire.

A fire broke out on the Fremantle Highway on July 25, 2023, shortly after the vessel left Germany loaded with approximately 3,800 vehicles including up to 55 electric vehicles. One crewmember died in a poorly organized evacuation of the vessel, but the others made it to safety in the Netherlands. The fire burned for a week before the vessel was brought to Eemshaven and later to Rotterdam for the salvage operation.

Another ship, the Felicity Ace also had to be abandoned at sea in 2022 because of an EV-fueled fire. The abandoned ship eventually sank, carrying with it a stewpot of toxic chemicals to poison the seabed below, and also carrying with it a load of electric vehicles and luxury cars, including Porsches and Bentleys.

The Sunken Felicity Ace Cargo Carrier Is a Pollution Hazard for Undersea Life; The ship that went down with thousands of Porsches and Volkswagens is bad news for local marine organisms [Popular Mechanics – 3/14/2022]

Thousands of cars, lithium-ion batteries, oil, gas, and an entire cargo ship now litter the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. On March 1, the car carrier Felicity Ace sank beneath the waves near the Portuguese Azores archipelago. Now, ecologists are worried that pollution from the wreck will impact the rich undersea environment the carrier has invaded.

At what point do shipping companies finally start refusing to transport these lithium ordnance devices?

The Morning Report — 6/ 9 /25

Good morning kids. Obviously the big story is the mass violent assault on national law enforcement and on innocent bystanders, by Democrat/leftist agents provocateurs and street terrorists in preventing their carrying out their duties in the arrest, detention and deportation of illegal aliens. The epicenter of this is in Los Angeles, but similar outbursts are or have happened in New York and San Antonio.

I suppose one could say that this is what it looks like when the civil society collapses. In my opinion, to be more precise, this is what it looks like when a political movement and the party that is its epicenter loses control of a political narrative of its supposed absolute moral authority as the saviors and protectors of the downtrodden, freedom, truth, justice and the American way, that has been foisted on the public for decades if not generations.

When the policies that it has rammed down the throats of the citizenry at long last metastasize to wreak havoc on the lives, livelihoods and security of said citizenry, chiseling away at that mythological narrative, which has only served as propaganda in service to their lust for absolute power, culminated in the coming of Donald Trump and an awakening of the real silent majority in the establishment of an unofficial movement to try and correct the disastrous course our society has been on since the 1960s if not long before then.

From racial demagoguery, to sexual perversion and transexual insanity, to economics, to the lunacy of open borders and uncontrolled immigration illegal and legal that demands no assimilation, and indeed the self-inflicted damnation of our nation, is history and society by academic an cultural "elites" that want future and current generations of Americans to turn against America as founded, Judeo-Christianity and Western civilization.

The Left to greater or lesser extents have been exposed not only as frauds but as the dangerous parasites that they always have been. As for the GOP that to their everlasting shame have done nothing but generally paid lip service, if that, to oppose them, they must not be let off the hook either.

So now there is nothing Left for the Left but to cheer on and in point of fact stoke violent riots and indeed insurrection.

God bless President Trump for calling out the national guard. The Left are always shouting "by any means necessary!" Well, that slogan can and indeed should cut both ways. All I can say is fix bayonets, and shoot to kill anyone who even so much as raises a fist or shoots the bird at you. Stack corpses of the keffiyah-clad Mexican-flag wavers like cordwood. As for Gavin Newsom, his last name sounds awfully close to "Noose Him." But I better not say that, right?

Lots of details in the links. Get yer program! Can't tell the players without your program!

I hope that President Trump authorizes Kash Patel and Pam Bondi to find out who is backing the violent overthrow of the United States of America from within, and without) with the aim of dismantling them - by any and every means necessary and at their disposal. And considering how corrupt our courts are, I can only imagine whose side they're on.

Anyone and everyone funding and giving political cover and succor to this should be having dinner with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg ASAP.

Elsewhere, I see that the IDF has intercepted Greta Von Thule, The pint-sized Hermann Goering in drag lookalike/Keffiyeh-clad Wagnerian plumper. Dump her overboard or hand her over to Hamas covered in baby oil and dressed as Tevye?

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.

Food Thread: Bread, Champagne, and...Viking Flat Bread?

That is the bakery oven in a chateau called Chenonceau. It was built in the early 16th century, although I imagine the ladies of the house insisted on new kitchens every now and then, but the oven probably didn't change much.

What I found interesting is that there are plenty of people today who bake bread in an identical way. Big, heavy masonry wood-fired ovens hold heat wonderfully, and can produce fantastic quality stuff. Add in the bannetons (the woven-reed bread forms), which look the same today as they did in the 16th century, and what has changed?

Nothing. I'll bet the bread was good!

First World Problems...

Pro-tip for all of you homeowners: make sure the labels on those old paint cans are legible after many years. If necessary, record the data somewhere safe!

Otherwise your painter has to cut a piece of drywall out of your wall to duplicate the color!

Yes, the technology is great, but it still requires more effort than just...you know...being organized.

I do have sufficient accelerants if I choose to go in another direction, so there's that!

It's Time To Hold Women Accountable For Their Destruction Of Men-Only Spaces Before They Get Our Full Support Against The Tranny Madness

There are women who are honorable, vociferous defenders of the apparently revolutionary concept that men and women are different and should compete in athletic endeavors in their own categories.

I know...I know... that's crazy talk! Why shouldn't a 6'4" man who grows his hair and tucks his junk be able to compete against a woman? And use the same locker room? As long as they have college athletic eligibility, what's the problem? And Olympic boxing? High school softball? Aren't men and women defined by social constructs, not biology, so all should be good?

Yet there are women who are supportive of men competing against women, in spite of the overwhelming data that show that even surgically and chemically mutilated trannys still have a significant advantage. And the real fakers who never even bothered to get clipped have an even greater strength and speed advantage.

It's interesting that the two highest-profile woman athletes who defend the horrid culture-breaking idea that trannys are women too (!) never had to compete against them.

Megan Rapinoe would have gotten her ass kicked by any competent high school boy, so the idea that she would have gained any prominence in the soccer world had men been allowed to play on women's teams is laughable. And Simone Biles? How would she have done against post-pubescent boys with a massive advantage in strength, agility and speed? But neither had to deal with that sort of nonsense, yet are willing to sacrifice their fellow women on the altar of transsexual lunacy!

Buck Throckmorton wrote a bit about the current brouhaha: Simone Biles Insults and Body Shames Riley Gaines While Advocating for Men Participating in Women's Sports

Riley Gaines is ferocious in her defense of women in sports and in fact in our culture. I salute her for her fearlessness and her intellectual approach to the issue. She is a fantastic beacon of hope in this horrid and ridiculous mess that the Woke lunatics have created.

But...where was society when the Women's Movement^TM went after Men-only spaces with hammer and tongs? Men's locker rooms, men's clubs, men's sports, men in the military, men as cops and fire fighters...all of these traditionally Men's spaces were systematically dismantled in worship of equality and fairness.

Where was Martina Navratilova? Where was J.K. Rowling? Probably cheering on the dismantling of the barriers between men and women.

And that's fine. They are entitled to their opinions. But why should we support their current fight to protect women's sacred spaces when they didn't give a rat's ass about men's?

Long-time commenter nurse ratched says it well:

I’ve come to the realization that I no longer care about men “invading women’s sports and spaces.”

I will start caring when women and girls get the hell out of men and boys spaces.

After all, didn’t everyone cheer when girls demanded entry to the scouts? And to little league. And to the high school football teams. And how about the reporter ettes into men’s locker rooms. Hell, everyone supported Condi Rice when she demanded entry into Augusta iirc. How come inclusion and equality only works when it’s women barging into men’s spaces? Seriously.

Respect and fairness works both ways. And just because women will not beat men in sports doesn’t make it any less wrong that they demand entrance.

This has nothing to do with the tranny nonsense. That’s just sheer stupidity.

Women started demanding the dismantling of boy and men’s spaces 50 years ago.

Well. Payback is a bitch.

Hard to argue her point!
