Good morning kids. There are a number of pretty big stories that have been breaking since late yesterday and early this morning. First, it seems that President Trump, in advance of a meeting he was scheduled to have in Egypt regarding a potential cease fire deal in Gaza has evidently broken through the logjam and secured the release of the Israeli hostages.

“A great day for Israel,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Wednesday night, announcing the approval of a landmark deal to bring home all the remaining Israeli hostages — a breakthrough reached with direct backing from President Donald Trump.

The announcement capped days of intense diplomacy, confirming a Trump-backed deal that will bring home every remaining Israeli hostage.

“I will convene the government to approve the agreement and bring all our dear hostages home,” Netanyahu said in a statement on X. He credited the “courage and sacrifice” of Israel’s soldiers and security forces, and thanked Trump and his team “for their mobilization for this sacred mission.”

As a Jew, a staunch supporter of the State of Israel, a proud Trump-supporting American-American and a human being, I am overjoyed that the hostages at long last are seemingly taking their first steps toward freedom from the clutches of the manifestation of evil on earth. And yet knowing exactly who they were in the clutches of tempers my joy with a dread for the future.

What we are dealing with is not Hamas. We are dealing with ISLAM. Period Full Stop.

Negotiating with Islamic terrorists doesn’t work. It leads to more terrorism.

That’s been true of every single deal made with the Islamic terrorists inside Israel. And this may be the worst of the deals because it rewards Hamas, frees large numbers of terrorists and validates October 7.

Worse still, it risks dragging us further into ‘nation-building’ an Islamic terrorist state.

Israel and the US as well as the other participants in this conference, the regional Arab/Muslim states might concede to a defanging if not dismantling of Hamas as the government of Gaza or as an entity in and of itself. But as we all know and as I and others have articulated or tried to articulate here and elsewhere the 1.5 billion adherents to Islam around the world will either actively participate in or otherwise cheer on and support the slaughter of every Jew on the planet and the eradication of the State of Israel if it brings them closer to their goal of the conquest of the entire world.

Unless and until President Trump and whatever remains of the Western world acknowledges this at the very least to themselves and for the greater good publicly – as diplomatically and politically palatable as and if possible — as they can, 10/7 will happen again and again not just in Israel but all over GOd's green earth.

What I want to see, and sadly what just is never going to happen is President Trump or please-God President Vance publicly read the passages in the Koran, the PLO and its allies' charters that equate Jews with apes and pigs, infidels calling for all Muslims everywhere to kill Jews and infidels wherever they find them and Call out every Muslim everywhere to publicly renounce those words.

Of course they cannot and likely will not do that because the Koran is the so-called word of their supreme false-god, so to do so would be an act of apostasy that would cost them their lives. But by not doing so, it would in essence for those paying attention scream to the world of their approval of those ideas. Maybe it's the shock treatment that the world needs. As if the sight of babies being roasted alive in front of their parents, or the mass rape and torture of innocent girls and women that they broadcast in the act via the GO-Pro cameras they were wearing on that day two years ago would or should have been.

Until my last breath, there will be no peace in the Middle East and indeed the world itself until the practice of Islam as preached and as written in its texts is as extinct as the dinosaurs. Ditto Socialism/Communism. Both are tyrannical evils.

And as my dear mother of blessed memory warned me, herself a survivor of that latter evil hell on earth, "Evil never rests."

In any case, I hope and pray that the long suffering hostages are set free and reunited with their loved ones and that however this "deal" came about, some good comes from it because Israel and the West will have had to have given up some kind of concession to these beasts that they will doubtless crow about as a victory and as Daniel Greenfield warns in his essay, will give them an incentive (as if they need one besides the accursed poison words of that Goddamned fucking Koran) to butcher Jews, Christians, Hindus or even their own if they dare show a bit too much ankle in public.

In other news, it seems the police have nabbed someone that they strongly suspect set the fire that burned Pacific Palisades to the ground. Surprise surprise.

A 29-year-old Biden-supporting Uber driver obsessed with images of fire has been charged with setting a blaze that later grew into the Palisades Fire, authorities said Wednesday — nine months after the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history erupted.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is accused of “maliciously” sparking a brush fire on Jan. 1. That fire was knocked down by the Los Angeles fire department, but continued to smolder unnoticed, underground for days before high winds rekindled it into the raging Palisades inferno, federal prosecutors said.

The Palisades Fire left 12 people dead, destroyed nearly 7,000 homes and businesses and caused about $150 billion in damages.

No doubt he believed in Climate Change/Gobal Warming so he had to burn Southern California to the ground to make us apostates see the truth!

Just like fat Sitz-Pritzker has to let Chicagoans be gunned down like fish in a barrel by his own constituents to make us believe Trump is a Hitlerite dictator!

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) compared actions by the Trump administration to tackle crime and enforce federal immigration law in Chicago to the “early days of the Nazi regime” and claimed the National Guard may be deployed at polling places during the 2026 midterm elections.

Not to be outdone in the criminally insane rhetoric department is everyone's favorite beady-eyed traitorous seditious scumbag Self-gassing Adam Schiff-for-Brains

Schiff: We Can’t Rule Out Trump Launching Military Strikes on Domestic Groups

Considering that his party is, was and always will be at the epicenter of domestic political violence, treachery, mopery and the fomenters of criminal insurrectionist violence for the sole purpose of overthrowing America and seizing absolute power permanently. A drone strike on Democrat National Headquarters would go a long way in advancing the cause of freedom (rhetorically-speaking of course /s!!)

On that note, CBD and I had a fantastic podcast with friend and co-blogger DIOGENES. We talked about Secretary of War (I love that!) Pete Hegseth and is he America's "Patton Pending?!"

Thanks Diogenes for a great conversation.

TO end on a humorous note, perhaps not for the normal people who may yet still live in California, your likely next governor Katie Porker, Porter is an absolute disgrace in every way shape and form.

. . . the video shows Porter speaking with former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in July 2021, before she cursed at a staffer for interjecting to correct her on a policy detail.

“Get out of my fucking shot!” Porter yelled at the staffer in the video.

When the staffer issued her correction regarding a policy detail, Porter responded, “Okay. You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot.”

At that moment, you can see clearly see Ron Jeremy go limp and then they immediately switched to a commercial for Cialis!

Jeremy later stated, while dousing his schvantz in Kwell and Clorox, despite the fat check from the DNC he just couldn't get it up for Porter.

Have a good day!

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.

Who Set the LA Palisades Fire That Killed 12 People and Caused $150 Billion In Damges? A Biden-Voting "Climate Change" Cultist, Naturally

You don't say.

So you're telling me the party of apocalyptic-minded godless lunatics set a fire to purge the world?

A 29-year-old Biden-supporting Uber driver obsessed with dystopian imagery, "despair and bitterness" is charged with "maliciously" sparking the Palisades Fire, authorities said Wednesday -- nine months after the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history erupted.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is accused of setting a brush fire Jan. 1 that was put out, but then smoldered unnoticed underground for days before igniting the raging Palisades inferno, which left 12 people dead and caused about $150 billion in damages.

The Palisades blaze, which was sparked by the Lachman Fire, went on to level more than 6,000 homes and buildings in the wealthy coastal enclave.

Rinderknecht, who lived in the area at some point, allegedly ignited the flames near a popular hiking trail in the hillside of a state park overlooking the neighborhood at about 12:12 a.m. on New Year's Day -- just moments after dropping off his Uber passengers.

The passengers later recalled Rinderknecht appearing "agitated and angry," the feds said.

After arriving at the hiking trail, Rinderknecht allegedly filmed the scene on his phone and listened to the rap song "Un Zder, Un The," by French artist Josman, whose music video features him setting a series of blazes, the criminal complaint states.

Google records showed that Rinderknecht, born in France, had listened to the song nine times and watched the music video four times in the days leading up to the fire, according to court papers.

...

Rinderknecht is believed to have watched his fire burn for about a minute before fleeing down the hiking trail, where he made a three-minute video recording of himself attempting to call 911 several times to report the blaze.

As he was on the phone to dispatchers, he typed "Are you at fault if a fire is lift [sic] because of your cigarettes" into ChatGPT -- which was also captured in the screen recording, the complaint charges.

Rinderknecht allegedly drove away from the scene but turned around to follow the responding fire trucks back to the scene -- where he then watched and recorded several videos as crews battled the inferno, according to the complaint.

"Based on my training and experience, arsonists sometimes call 911 to report the fires they have set, and arsonists sometimes like to watch firefighters respond to the fires that they have set," an investigator notes in the charging docs.

The videos were among a trove of evidence discovered on Rinderknecht's phone in the aftermath of the wildfire, authorities said.

Months before the blaze, in July, Rinderknecht had ChatGPT-generated a grim "dystopian" image of a burning city, according to the criminal complaint.

His mentally-ill AI slop "art" looks like what gender-confused retarded demon would paint on the side of his child abduction van.

Take a guess what he looks like.

Did you guess something like this?

Apart from him having a hair color that appears in nature, I personally nailed it. How about you?

...

Months later, in November, Rinderknecht told ChatGPT that he had "literally burnt" a Bible -- boasting that he felt "amazing" and "so liberated" afterwards.

...

Rinderknecht was interviewed by investigators shortly after the blaze but allegedly lied to investigators at the time about his location, according to the complaint.

During the Jan. 24 interview, Rinderknecht had told investigators where the fire began, which was information that hadn't yet been made public and that he wouldn't have known if he hadn't witnessed it, the complaint said.

He allegedly lied about his location, claiming he was near the bottom of the hiking trail at the time, the feds said.

During the interview, Rinderknecht's "carotid artery would pulsate and become visible" whenever he was asked about the fire -- indicating he was "extremely anxious," the docs state.

The accused arsonist also confessed to bringing a lighter up the trail -- and investigators later found a green BBQ-style lighter in his car's glove compartment that matched photos taken at his home just days earlier, authorities alleged.

While one Democrat burns down thousands of home to cleanse the earth of the disease of humanity, the Democrat political establishment capitalizes on that calamity, slow-rolling rebuilding permits so people will give up their homes and let them return to nature.

Also in California: Katie Porter, who is one of the most unfortunate-looking women I've ever laid eyes on, also has the reputation of being a beast and a bully to her staff. Her husband alleged that she physically and verbally abused him.

She is running to replace Gavin Newsom as California Crime Boss.

She was asked a very simple question that this reporter asks every Democrat candidate for governor: How will you appeal to the 40% of Californians who voted for Trump?

This physically-heinous woman is also a political extremist, and took offense at the idea that she would ever have to appeal to Trump voters for any reason. She derailed the interview and wound up doing a walk-off where she actually kept her fat ass glued to the chair.

What's her reason for the rage-quit? She complains that the reporter has "seven follow-up" questions for every question. She says she's "never had to do this before," that is, she's literally never had a reporter ask her follow-up questions, pushing past her first answer to try to elicit a true answer.

I believe her. No Democrats ever face follow-up questions. The left-wing media doesn't ask them, and they refuse to be interviewed by anyone who's not in the left-wing media.

JustTheNews: FBI Corruption Probe Turned Up Whistleblower Tip That Political Allies Paid Off Bill Clinton "Through the Back Door"

Democrats can't quit the back door.

As part of a political corruption probe, the FBI obtained evidence that former President Bill Clinton was being paid through a backdoor arrangement with an allied consultant, according to a 2017 document released Tuesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Sen. Chuck Grassley.

The Iowa Republican senator raised the issue in a hearing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and questioned whether the FBI and Justice Department fully investigated the findings.

The document, which was provided to Grassley by a whistleblower, includes a case update drafted by then-Supervisory Special Agent Tim Thibault about the Washington Field Office's public corruption investigation into Virginia Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe linking former President Clinton to the case.

"McAuliffe case -- Steven Sullivan, Chief Financial Officer of Teneo was interviewed in New York City. Info provided seemed to confirm, Teneo was used as a pass through for Doug Band to pay former President of the United States," Thibault wrote.

Thibault is the disgraced, cashiered ringleader of so many RussiaGate-related operations against Trump.

So I'm sure he fully investigated this information.

"Doug Band was a Deputy Assistant to then-President Clinton and continued working for him post-presidency. Therefore, it's pretty clear the reference to 'President of the United States' is Bill Clinton," Grassley said in his opening statement.

"This information confirms there was an FBI case on McAuliffe, and it indicates the Clintons and their associates were relevant to it," said the senator.

"Did the FBI throw its resources behind this matter just like it did against Trump and his associates? Or did they sweep it all under the rug?" he continued.

Um.

McAuliffe was under investigation by the FBI for his private business ties before he became governor in 2014. The governor's lawyers confirmed that the bureau was probing him over alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. McAuliffe insisted throughout the investigation that he never illegally lobbied for any foreign government. McAuliffe was a major fundraiser for Clinton while he was president.

Teneo, the firm mentioned in the case update, has close ties to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, and its owner, Doug Band, is a close ally of the political couple. He worked for then-President Clinton in the White House Counsel's office. After the government, he became a central figure in Bill Clinton's post-presidency, helping to set up the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative.

A leaked memo showed that Band helped organize an aggressive strategy for President Clinton's paid speaking engagements and consulting work while his wife served as President Barack Obama's secretary of state, the Washington Post reported. Band came under scrutiny from Republicans for how Band encouraged Teneo's clients to contribute to the Clinton Foundation.

CIA Deep State operative and Democrat/Antifa candidate for Virginia Abigail Spanberger is holding a fundraiser with Clinton and MacAuliffe this weekend.

After Some Initial Pity-Watches by Antifa Leftists, Jimmy Kimmel's Ratings Plunge 85% In Key Demographic (and Over 70% Overall)

Jimmy Kimmel faced an all-too-brief three day suspension. When he came back, lefties tuned in as part of their routine #Slactivism form of lazy, passive politicking.

But then those leftists learned what most people knew as early as 1996: Jimmy Kimmel is not funny and never has been and never will be and has the charisma of a spent condom.

And so his ratings in the key 25-54 demographic prized by advertisers fell 85% since then.

Jimmy Kimmel's ratings boom appears to be circling the drain.

Disney briefly suspended ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" last month after the host's remarks about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk sparked widespread backlash. Once Disney reversed course, the liberal comedian drew a massive audience for his much-hyped return on September 23.

On Thursday, Oct. 2, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" averaged 1.9 million viewers, shedding 71% of the audience that tuned in for the host's return from suspension.

The decline among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54 was even more significant, as "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" managed 265,000 viewers from the critical group on Thursday night to lose 85% of the 1.7 million who tuned in on Sept. 23. It marked Kimmel's smallest audience among demo viewers since the suspension.

Kimmel averaged 1.6 million viewers in 2025 before Disney decided to temporarily sideline him, so another drop would result in the show returning to its pre-scandal viewership.

ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" also trailed Fox News' "Gutfeld!" across the board on Thursday.

...

Kirk's supporters panned Kimmel's non-apology, saying the ABC host failed to take responsibility for the falsehood.

"Kimmel is an unrepentant liar who tried to blame Charlie's assassination on the part of the country that just spent the last 2 weeks praying and holding vigils," Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet reacted.

Repulsive lying leftwing communists (is there any other kind?) are using "esoteric" measures to claim that "Akshually Jimmy Kimmel's ratings are great, Racists."

WDW_Pro made two good points:

1, when Kimmel first came back, Sinclair and Nexstar stations were not carrying him. Therefore, his "comeback" show ratings were lower than they otherwise would have been. (Note the rumor that these networks only agreed to run Kimmel again because Disney/ABC threatened that they would not allow them to air the Super Bowl unless they aired this fat ball of failure.)

So Kimmel is now available on dozens of more stations than he was when he did his "comeback" show.

That means that if all of these stations had carried Kimmel on his first few nights back, and thus millions more #Slacktivist lefties could have watched him, his ratings would have crashed even harder.

2, Kimmel's ratings are a disaster for Disney/ABC but because they buckled to the left-wing Hollywood mafia Jimmy Kimmel is now practically unfirable and uncancellable. ABC has not renewed his contract and, per rumors, was not going to renew it. But now they'll haven little choice but to renew this pudgy deadweight for at least a year or two.

107 Trump Appointees Confirmed En Masse After Republicans Change Rules to End Democrats' "Confirmation Blockade"

FAFO.

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed 107 of President Donald Trump's nominees -- including ambassadors Herschel Walker and Sergio Gor -- as the government shutdown entered its seventh day. The move, approved 51-47, came after Republicans changed Senate rules to bypass what they called a Democrat "confirmation blockade."

Key Details:

The confirmations included over two dozen ambassadorial appointments and more than a dozen U.S. Attorneys.

Among the notable confirmations were Sergio Gor as U.S. Ambassador to India and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs, and Herschel Walker as U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) celebrated the move on X, writing, "CONFIRMED: 107 Trump nominees en bloc... Senate business continues, even on day seven of the Schumer Shutdown."

Diving Deeper:

The U.S. Senate confirmed more than 100 of President Donald Trump's nominees on Tuesday, marking one of the largest single-day confirmation pushes of his administration -- and it came amid a weeklong government shutdown.

In a 51-47 vote, Senate Republicans approved 107 Trump nominees in one sweeping package after implementing a procedural rules change allowing for "en bloc" votes. The change, used when the majority party controls the chamber, lets the Senate confirm groups of nominees simultaneously instead of one at a time.

...

Republicans framed the mass confirmations as a necessary response to what they described as a months-long blockade by Senate Democrats. "Before the government shutdown, Democrats shut down the Senate floor, freezing the confirmation process," said Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) in a statement. "Today, we broke through that obstruction and delivered results for the American people."

The move followed similar action in September, when the Senate confirmed 48 Trump nominees. Tuesday's confirmations bring the total number of Trump administration appointments approved this fall to more than 150.

Semi-Related: A DOJ attorney and I'm sure a Straight-Arrow Ham-and-Egger is refusing to prosecute Big Tish James, claiming that she sees "no probable cause" for prosecution despite Big Tish signing multiple fraudulent mortgage applications and so far offering no defense or excuse for her actions.

A top Virginia prosecutor told her colleagues she will refuse to file charges against controversial New York Attorney General Letitia James. President Donald Trump has been pushing for James to face accountability for the lawfare she waged against him during the 2024 presidential election.

With no shortage of irony, it turns out evidence exists that James committed the same real estate fraud she alleged Trump engaged in. That is the very definition of hypocritical.

Elizabeth Yusi, who is in charge of major criminal prosecutions in the Norfolk office of the Eastern District of Virginia, told two of her co-workers that she does not see any probable cause that James committed mortgage fraud, two sources told MSNBC. Yusi will present her conclusion to the new interim U.S. attorney, Lindsey Halligan, over the course of the next several weeks.

In a mortgage fraud case, probable cause exists if someone knowingly files repeated false "primary residence" certifications to boost their odds of loan approval, and if lenders rely on those lies to offer better loan terms.

Is there really a lack of evidence against James, or is Yusi trying to protect her? We all know the left protects its own, practically at any cost.

MSNBC reported that Trump appointed Halligan two weeks after announcing he would fire acting U.S. attorney Erik Siebert, who also refused to pursue fraud charges against James, as well as other charges against former FBI Director James Comey. Siebert resigned on Sept. 19 after Trump informed him he'd be replaced.

...

Prosecutors in the Eastern District office expect Halligan to fire Yusi for refusing Trump's request to go after James.

CNN Sad! "Populist Billionaire and Trump Supporter Babis Cruises to Czech Election Win"

Weird, it's almost as if advanced Western countries with prosperity and a functioning civil society don't want to merge themselves with impoverished violent third-world barbarism.

Billionaire Andrej Babis's ANO party cruised to victory in the Czech Republic's parliamentary election on Saturday, raising the prospect of a government that would boost Europe's populist, anti-immigration camp and reduce support for Ukraine.

An ebullient Babis told supporters that ANO would seek a one-party cabinet but would talk with two small parties -- including the far-right SPD -- for support as his party will lack an outright majority.

He again rejected accusations that his win would make the central European nation a less reliable European Union and NATO partner.

"We want to save Europe ... and we are clearly pro-European and pro-NATO," Babis told reporters.

With nearly all results in, ANO was set to replace the current center-right cabinet led by Prime Minister Petr Fiala. Fiala congratulated Babis and conceded defeat.

ANO promised faster growth, higher wages and pensions, and lower taxes and tax discounts for students and young families during the campaign.

In basket-case France, Emmanuel Macron persists as President despite not having a majority of support in the National Assembly (and not having that support for years).

He just appointed another hopeless PM to attempt to govern with minority support, and that idiot has been forced to resign after a reign of twenty-seven days.

Lecornu, France's fifth PM in less than two years, had been tasked with convincing the country -- and investors -- that he can get a 2026 budget over the line.

He was installed in early September against a backdrop of public unrest and dissatisfaction over the messy state of French affairs.

Several successive governments had failed to pass budgets detailing spending cuts and tax rises.

France's new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has resigned just weeks after his appointment, plunging the country into a fresh political crisis.

Lecornu, France's fifth PM in less than two years, quit just hours after naming a new cabinet on Sunday.

Speaking after the resignation, Lecornu said "each political party is behaving as if they have their own majority in parliament" and that the "conditions were not fulfilled" to stay in office, according to comments translated by France 24.

"I was ready to compromise, but each political party wanted the other political party to adopt its entire program," he said in a speech in the courtyard of Matignon Palace, the PM's headquarters, France 24 reported.

He now departs the role after just 27 days, making him the country's shortest-serving prime minister with little to show for his time in office.

...

The right-wing National Rally posted on social media platform X that "Macronism is dead on its feet," saying the president had to choose to "dissolve parliament or resign, and quickly!"

Jean-Luc Melanchon of the far-left France Unbowed party went further, calling for Macron to be impeached. "Following the resignation of Sebastien Lecornu, we call for the immediate consideration of the motion tabled by 104 MPs for the impeachment of Emmanuel Macron," Melenchon wrote on X.

I read that Macron, who pretends to not be a leftist (note CNBC's curious insistence that he's "center-right") will finally forge a full alliance with France's left, and note that in France, the "left" means "the communists." He'll appoint a communist as PM.

Anything to avoid making a deal with Marine LePen on the invasion of third-world barbarians.

Surprise! Joe Biden Blocked the CIA From Releasing a Report on Hunter Biden's Actions as an Agent of Foreign Powers

Trump is a dangerous autocrat who is politicizing the government, you may have heard from Mustachioed Villain Kaitlin Collins.

Then-Vice President Joe Biden's team intervened in February 2016 to prevent the CIA from disseminating an intelligence report to policymakers about the perceptions senior Ukrainian officials held about his son's business dealings, newly declassified memos show.

The request that the intelligence community withhold the report from others in the U.S. government by Biden's national security advisor was "extremely rare and unusual," a senior CIA official told Just the News.

"I just spoke with VP/NSA and he would strongly prefer the report not/not be disseminated," the vice president's Presidential Daily Brief briefer told the CIA. "Thanks for understanding."

The report, reviewed by Just the News, compiled the reactions of senior Ukrainian government officials to the December 2015 visit of Vice President Biden to Kyiv.

In the aftermath of the country's Maidan Revolution and the Russian seizure of Crimea, Biden had been appointed President Barack Obama's point man to manage U.S. policy towards the fledgling, pro-Western government.

The document shows that the Ukrainian officials in the government of then-President Petro Poroshenko, were disappointed with the vice president's visit to their country for his lack of substantive discussions with their leader. Those same officials "privately mused" about the U.S. media's scrutiny on Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine, the report shows.

"These officials viewed the alleged ties of the U.S. Vice President's family to corruption in Ukraine as evidence of a double-standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power," the CIA relayed.

The intelligence report also shows that the Ukrainian officials "expressed bewilderment and disappointment" about the vice president's visit because he did not engage in any of the expected discussions about substantive matters with Poroshenko or other senior officials.

In other words, he only came to Ukraine to threaten them into dropping an investigation into Hunter Biden's employer. Rather than discussing the issues he claimed he was making the trip to discuss, he focused only on protecting Hunter Biden's foreign paymasters.

The vice president's December 2015 visit to Kyiv has been the subject of much scrutiny surrounding Hunter Biden's business dealings with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. It was on that trip that Vice President Biden decided to alter U.S. policy to call for Poroshenko to fire his chief prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. The vice president threatened to withhold a substantial U.S. loan guarantee if not.

At the time, Shokin was probing Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, for corruption. His son, Hunter, had just officially joined the board of the company in May 2014. Shortly before the vice president's trip, then-Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt warned Biden's top advisors that the U.S. government considered Burisma corrupt.

Remember when we talked about impeaching Bill Clinton after his presidency to strip him of his federal retirement payments and security team funding?

Isn't it time we do that to Biden?

Don't say "But then they'll do that to Trump." Trust me, they're already planning to do that to Trump.

Left Panics As Trump Says He Might Use the Insurrection Act to Crush Anti-ICE/Antifa Terrorism

Axios is so upset!

President Trump suggested Monday he may use the Insurrection Act if courts continue to bar him from deploying the National Guard to cities across the U.S.

Why it matters: Trump would be the first president in more than 60 years to use the 1807 Act that allows the deployment of U.S. troops to quell domestic unrest without state approval.

Trump came close to invoking the Act earlier this year, when he sent some 700 Marines to Los Angeles to respond to ICE protests against the will of California officials.

Driving the news: A federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard Sunday evening for the second time, after the president announced plans to send troops from California to Portland.

In addition to California and Oregon suing Trump over his actions, Illinois filed a lawsuit on Monday after he said he was sending 300 members of the National Guard to Chicago.

What they're saying: "So far it hasn't been necessary, but we have an Insurrection Act for a reason," Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday.

"If people were being killed, and courts were holding us up, or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I do that."

The bottom line: If Trump were to use the Insurrection Act, the National Guard would be allowed the full law enforcement powers of local police officers.

The left is freaking out because, among other things, the Insurrection Act would strip power from left-wing judges to issue lawless rulings.

Why it matters: Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to several cities have been slowed or temporarily blocked by judges. The Insurrection Act would help him effectively bypass the court rulings by tapping authority scholars have warned is overly broad and ripe for misuse.

Trump is also talking about the possibility of throwing Race Marxist and DEI Dum-Dum Brandon Johnson in prison.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested imprisoning Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., for failing to protect federal officers as the state and city push back against his deportation efforts.

Chicago is a sanctuary city and has seen its mayor declare "ICE-free zones" this week as Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempt to remove illegal aliens from the area.

"Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

Morbidly Obese Antifa Sturnkommandant JB Pritzker ordered his police not to cooperate with ICE, citing his nonexistent "sovereign" right to ignore federal law. I saw a Xeet calling him "Heifferson Davis."

This ignites a fire in my Wrinkle Noodle.

Wednesday Morning Rant

It Is What It Looks Like

The Left never fails to defend and worship terrorism at all levels and in all venues. It has become so obvious recently that the Party itself knows how bad this looks, or at least some factions within the Party do. The trial balloon they sent up at the Atlantic was a limp-wristed acknowledgment of the problem and filled with wobbly and outlandish "both-sidesism" with the Atlantic's brand of "just trust me bro" assertions that most political violence was historically right-wing, but it's clear that somebody in the Party is worried about Leftist terrorism and ordered the balloon. They do this all the time when some faction decides that they need to make a change, and the Atlantic is a regular venue for them. We saw it several times during COVID.

Like during COVID, this early trial balloon showed that the base is not willing to consider it. Most of the Party isn't willing to consider a change. I don't know which faction was responsible for the trial balloon, but it is clearly in the minority and not well aligned with the rest of the Party. Every day, the hits just keep coming. Not just Leftist terrorism, but the grotesque celebration and cheering of Leftist terrorism. You can't swing a cat without seeing gleeful adulation of some terrorist or terrorist action, and open encouragement to do more of it.

The Morning Report — 10/8/25

Good morning kids. "Genocide" and "Insurrection" are two words that have been bandied about with much abandon over the past few years. Don't get me wrong, since there indeed have been genocide and insurrection here and abroad. With the savage butchery of 10/7 in Israel we saw the continuation of the 1500-year attempt to exterminate every Jew in Israel and the world by Islam, on top of what Jews have suffered at the hands of non-Muslims even before the metastasis of the Islam cancer. Insurrection and treason most foul we have seen for ourselves ever since President Trump came down the golden Trump Tower escalator 10 years ago, right up until the present day.

Of course the Democrat Left has the chutzpocritical gall to hurl those words at the President and all of us, considering that they and their minions and supporters are the ones that have been guilty of it going back decades almost to the founding of the Republic. And the incandescent radiance of their projection is on blindingly full display in the city of Chicago.

Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson suggested on Tuesday that the Chicago Police should arrest ICE agents and other federal officers who he claims are breaking his new executive order aimed at hampering immigration enforcement.

On Monday, Johnson signed a dubious executive order creating “ICE-Free Zones” to ban federal agents from using city-owned properties as staging areas for immigration enforcement. Johnson’s proclamation comes as President Donald Trump suggested that the anti-ICE actions by Chicago’s leaders are akin to an insurrection against the federal government.

That's because it is, Mr. President. And regardless of whether any CPD officer would be stupid and potentially suicidal enough to try and slap the cuffs on an ICE agent, Johnson himself should be hauled off to a federal prison, tried for insurrection and either hanged or thrown into solitary for the rest of his accursed miserable existence on this planet for this madness. Lest any of the usual Soros trolls in the audience accuse me of racism, on the other end of the color chart is this Pasty-faced, devoid of pigment and absolutely transparent fraud.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) claims President Trump’s focus on Chicago “has nothing to do with crime” but failed to mention that the Windy City has witnessed over 6,200 murders during the last decade.

And that my friends is how we square the circle and segue Insurrection with Genocide. I do not have the breakdown of the victims nor the perpetrators by race, but I would bet that the vast majority of both categories are colored people of color. Chicago and Illinois have been controlled by Democrats for the better part of a century. Ditto virtually every major metropolitan area in the nation. They may not match Chicago's body count but for sure they're proportional to their populations quite similar.

But murder and violent crime or crime in general aren't just part of the landscape as many Leftist pols and their media mouthpieces will assert, so as to deflect the obvious source of the blame: The breakdown of morality and personal responsibility are directly related and go hand in hand with the ascendancy of Democrat/Leftist/Socialist politics and policy going back to the accursed LBJ and his Great Society policies that created the vast welfare state which intentionally destroyed the black family in order to preserve Democrat political power on a national level by controlling social policies that kept them and the cities in their grasp lo these many decades. Were it not for the perversion and dissolution of the free love, feminist and so-called black liberation movements that created the socioeconomic rifts and divisions in our society that post World War 2 otherwise would not have arisen, and certainly never to the levels we saw starting with the race riots and anti-war riots of the 60s and beyond.

I guess Chris Murphy would echo his hero and mentor Joe Stalin, insofar as the death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic.

In this case, George Floyd being the shining example among others vs, 6200 Chicago citizens. The former is the bloody red shirt that the Democrats wave in our faces and those of their constituents while the latter they completely discount since it's the George Floyds of this world that brought about the demise of those 6,200. And that is the inconvenient raw awful truth of the matter.

Which is why as more and more people across the political spectrum come to realize that, thanks to the likes of Charlie Kirk of blessed memory and others, as well as the in-your-face reality of life as lived on the streets of Chicago and elsewhere slaps people upside the head as to the evil of Democrat Leftism, we have Antifa and their goon squads hurling molotov cocktails and gunning for Trump and his allies.

Man With 200 Explosives And Leftist Manifesto Arrested Outside Supreme Court Event At Church: Police. . . Two days after a Biden judge gave light sentence to attempted Kavanaugh assassin, church event historically attended by conservative justices targeted

The words of that cancerous ghoul Jay Jones are proof positive. Let alone the fact that not one Democrat in Virginia or elsewhere has either denounced him or called for him to step out of the Virginia AG race.

That right there is proof positive that the greatest threat to, as Democrats call it "Our Precious Democracy" are the Democrats themselves.

There often comes a moment in the pursuit of a noble but hopeless cause when the idealist discards both ideals and human bonds, embracing barbarism in the name of a higher purpose. The progressive Left has reached that moment in its moral decline. Once self-styled protectors of the marginalized, progressives now push their opponents beyond the margins—and beyond the pale. Their cause is the defense of victims, yet some have victimized their adversaries to death, while others have mocked and abused the dead afterward. Champions of compassion have mutated into purveyors of hatred. Whether these perverse reversals have penetrated the sect’s own consciousness, I cannot say.

Possibly, the Left’s belief system made its descent into barbarism inevitable. Progressives long ago cast aside God, religion, and other transcendental restraints. The moral order and conventional rules of a supposedly oppressive society mean less than nothing to them. What remains is hedonism and the will to power. In the Internet age, both find expression in rituals of demonization—destroying those whose opinions offend them, whether through harassment by a digital lynch mob, coerced confessions and firings, or, as in the cold-blooded killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, outright political assassination. It is the same principle aimed at the same end: hate the haters more brutally than they hate you.

Until the Democrat Party, Leftism/Socialism and every individual and institution in and out of government who promotes it is utterly and ruthlessly purged from every aspect of our society and nation, we face an existential threat to ourselves, our way of life and our future. How we go about doing this in a manner that is consistent with our morals, values ,ethics and the system we are trying to preserve or in truth restore, is the multi-trillion dollar question.

Ditto Islam. Until it goes the way of the Dodo, the world is likely destined to descend into a new dark age worse than the one in which Islam first metastasized some 1500 or so years ago.

Have a good day!

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.

Quick Hits

Hot Air, quoting from WABC 77:

New York City mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani has depicted himself throughout his career as a staunch advocate of women's rights.

But a 77 WABC review of Mamdani's writings has revealed that when he could have personally intervened as a private citizen and a man to stop a series of brutal rapes and sexual assaults, he declined to do so because of "woke," political correctness concerns.
Advertisement

Mamdani, who is now 33, was a student in Cairo in 2013, when protests broke out against Egypt's then-Islamist Muslim Brotherhood regime.

Large numbers of women were involved in the protest, and according to Human Rights Watch, up to 91 women were raped or sexually assaulted in just four days.

The wave of attacks was documented at the time by major news media, including PBS Newshour and Euronews.

In a piece for his college newspaper about his time studying in Cairo, Mamdani wrote that at those protests, women "had to contend with the very real threat of sexual harassment and assault, especially at night."

He namechecked two groups of civilian volunteers engaged in blocking, stopping, and reporting rapes, and said he "thought of volunteering."

However, Mamdani declined to intervene to stop rapes and sexual assaults not because of concerns about his own personal safety, or legalities, but rather because he concluded that "that the last thing Egyptians needed was a well-meaning foreigner's assistance."

Best fiend Mamdani flashes beaming smile in pic with Uganda bigwig who pushed law to jail gay people for life. You told you what he is and you IDIOT DEMORATS ARE GONNA VOTE FOR HIM.

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments over Colorado's "anti-conversion" law. The law is being used to claim that the Transgender Pipeline can only go in one direction: Under Colorado law, parents and teachers and other authority figures are only allowed to encourage gender "transition" and may never counsel against it.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday in Chiles v. Salazar, a case challenging Colorado's ban on certain forms of counseling for youth experiencing gender dysphoria. The stakes couldn't be higher for vulnerable young people and their families.

We make unlikely co-authors. Tyler Deaton leads American Unity Fund, which advocates for LGBT rights within conservative circles. Ryan T. Anderson leads the Ethics and Public Policy Center, applying Judeo-Christian moral tradition to law and culture. We've frequently disagreed -- sometimes profoundly -- on questions of marriage, sexuality, and religious liberty.

Yet we've joined forces to file an amicus brief in this case because we share a fundamental conviction: Children struggling with gender dysphoria deserve compassion, individualized attention, and comprehensive mental healthcare, not a system that pushes only one predetermined outcome.

Colorado's 2019 law -- versions of which have been passed by over 20 other states -- prohibits mental health professionals from providing any counseling that doesn't "affirm" a minor's stated "gender identity." In practice, this means therapists can only validate a child's desire to pursue sex change interventions, whether social, medical, or surgical; they cannot explore underlying issues, address co-occurring mental health conditions, or help children find ways to understand themselves that don't include medically or surgically modifying their developing bodies.

...

This law isn't protecting children from harmful therapies. It's guiding them onto a medical conveyor belt that itself exposes them to serious risks of fundamentally experimental interventions that carry serious risks: impaired cognitive function, infertility, reduced bone density, and other lifelong health consequences.

...

But the Colorado law has backfired in tangible ways that are hurting the very population it's claiming to protect; many of the therapists being silenced are themselves part of the LGBT community whose professional goal is to help the next generation of LGBT youth grow into healthy and successful adults. Instead, their businesses are being put under a microscope and damaged, ultimately resulting in fewer children having access to help and guidance when they most need it.

Marxist Gaslight Media Goes Into Overdrive to Hide Jay Jones' Wish That the Young Children of a Political Enemy Be Murdered and Die In Their Mother's Arms

John Sexton, quoting the terrorist propaganda organization AP:

Republicans are seizing on recently unearthed violent rhetoric from Virginia's Democratic candidate for attorney general in a push to re-shape the state's governor's race -- and tarnish the Democratic Party nationally -- less than a month before Election Day...

The media is deliberately downplaying what this pro-child-murder Satanic Extremist said. Many choose not to report his words at all, and instead call them, like AP did, a "depiction of violence," which makes no sense and is completely inaccurate.

He wished for two young children to be murdered and die in their mother's arms so that the communist cause could be advanced. When this death wish for children was objected to, he doubled down on political violence and stated that only when his enemies feel "pain" will they change their policies to support his own.

This, of course, is a third-world terrorist's mindset.

The legacy press is circling the wagons for Democratic Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones after the release of text messages that could derail his campaign.

Major outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters and Bloomberg have ignored the scandal involving Jones's disturbing private messages and use of a reckless driving conviction for political gain. Neither story appears on their websites, and none have published follow-up coverage or reactions from political figures -- including President Donald Trump -- to the revelations.

Even CNN downplayed the scandal with a soft headline -- "Virginia's Democratic nominee for attorney general facing pressure over resurfaced text messages" -- that omitted any reference to the messages' contents.

Axios only offered a brief mention Monday, headlining its piece "GOP unveils 7-figure ad campaign on 'two bullets' text by Jay Jones," but the headline likewise failed to explain what the messages actually said.

Oh, and this got a little buried: This cocksucker got arrested for reckless driving and was given the Democrat Special: he would only have to do a few hours of community service.

Guess where he chose to do those community service hours?

That's right: Working on his own political campaign.

He claimed his campaign was community service and then logged hours there doing work he was already planning to do.

Reports broke Wednesday -- a classic October surprise -- showing that Jones turned a reckless driving case into political capital by logging community service hours with his own campaign committee, the Richmond Times-Dispatch first reported.

In January 2022, a state trooper clocked Jones driving 116 mph in a 70 mph zone shortly after he left his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. Court records show his attorney delayed the case four times before securing a "deferred disposition," letting Jones dodge up to a year in jail by performing community service.

He ultimately paid a $1,500 fine and logged 1,000 hours of service in 2023 -- roughly half credited to his political action committee, Meet Our Moment, which is registered with the Virginia Board of Elections but not a nonprofit, and the rest with the NAACP Virginia State Conference.

Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares blasted Jones in a Wednesday post on X, writing, "Instead of taking accountability for his actions, it appears that my opponent submitted a letter to the Court stating that he performed 500 hours of 'community service' for his own PAC, which isn't a charitable organization under state code, to dodge potential jail time."

Angry AWFL SSRI-Addicts Are Now Cancelling Their False Goddess Taylor Swift as Being a, Get This, "Homophobic" and "White Supremacist"

She's marrying a masculine man and singing about, seriously, his dick. Tim Pool says it's a song called "Wood."

She's supposedly going to write a song about my dick, too. It will be called "Wrinkle Noodle."

Hey, that's mean. I've been #Hacked just like Joy Reid. #FBI, please investigate.

Obviously this is upsetting the Boxwine-and-Benzos 4B femcels.

These bitter femcels just want everyone to be as miserable and mentally-ill as they are.

(Although I gotta say it does amuse me to see these lunatics turn on their False Goddess.)

Taylor Swift's new album "The Life of a Showgirl" is barely three days old, and already woke killjoys are tearing it apart, finding offensive lyrics where there are none.

Overly online social media critics of Swift apparently instantaneously decided the new album is rife with racism and homophobia, as well as secret messages of support for the patriarchy, eugenics, and Donald Trump.

Forensic "investigations" have uncovered "dog-whistles," but only woke detectives themselves are capable of hearing them.

Either Swift is a covert alt-right influencer, or her young critics have been taught to see oppression everywhere, including where it quite clearly is not.

Every track on the album, which came out on Friday, has already been dissected for "offensive" content. Swift's track "Opalite" has been dubbed everything from "high-key a white supremacist anthem" to "lowkey [giving] homophobia" and a cryptic declaration that Swift is a "lily white queen."

"CANCELLED!" has been dragged for supposedly being pro-MAGA, despite Swift's consistently Democratic political record.

"'I like my friends canceled,' is the most tone deaf lyric a white billionaire with MAGA friends could release in this climate," a tweet with almost 100,000 likes reads.

The singer has been dragged for maintaining a friendship with Brittany Mahomes, wife of NFL star Patrick Mahomes, who controversially liked an Instagram post about the 2024 GOP platform. Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris but didn't disavow her friend, who presumably is conservative.

God forbid the singer demonstrate that you can be friends across party lines. What a terrible lesson!

Meanwhile, "Ophelia," a song that gives the tragic Shakespeare character from "Hamlet" a revised happy ending, was dragged by critics for "reinforcing the patriarchy."

One self-proclaimed English major on X said, "I refuse to listen to a song that implies Ophelia might've reconsidered killing herself if she had just dated a quarterback." She might have the degree, but her takeaway is just plain juvenile.

In her song "Wishlist," Swift says she wants to have a couple kids and get "the whole block lookin' like you." Some went as far as to suggest this is an allusion to eugenics, a truly astonishing leap.

One TikTokker claimed to see a subtext, which she read as, "I want to have your white babies, and I actually want our entire neighborhood to be racially homogenous." She continued, "Now Taylor's calling y'all childless cat ladies because she's about to pop out some kids."

A 35-year-old woman who has sung about searching for the love of her life for years finally expressing her enthusiasm about creating a wholesome family life with her new fiancé is, apparently, a call for a white ethno-state. Because of course it is.

Another fan-turned-critic pointed out, "She is free to put out a song about wanting a husband and children and a basketball hoop and a house and a cul-de-sac, [but] she has to accept the context that, if she puts that out right now, it's going to feel like propaganda."

Since when is having a family a provocative political statement?

Yes. Have you been on Mars for the last 50 years? The left is increasingly anti-natalist, anti-human, and pro-human-extinction.
