The Week In Woke
An alleged "Republican" says that he's dating a trans "woman" and is very angry at Republicans who won't do the same. Megyn Kelly does a college debate for Turning Point USA. A very unhinged leftist asks why she supports Trump, whose rhetoric, he asserts, caused Charlie Kirk's assassination. Woke pro-terrorism Muslim and media darling Wajahat Ali: "My family in Pakistan does not want to come to America thanks to Trump! Pakistanis are staying home!" Oh no. No no no. Anything but that. Students at a "historically black college" chase out two White Interlopers because they're very anti-racism. Twenty-seven Democrats in the Colorado House voted against intentionally exposing your genitals to minors a felony. You know why. The Pedo Party isn't even hiding it any more. A very well-adjusted and sane left-wing woman. This is what police have to deal with every day. A woman is driving around with an expired license and insists the cop has no right to stop her or ask for her identification and drivers license.
At Dearborn, Michigan's first city council meeting since his clash with a local Christian minister went viral after a heated exchange over a controversial honorary street sign naming, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud declined to apologize for his saying the minister was "not welcome here" and that he would "launch a parade" when he left town. Ted Barham, the same Christian minister, opened his remarks at Tuesday's meeting by repeating the words that went viral at the previous one on Sept. 9. "The mayor, in a way, cursed me, as was seen around the world. And I would like to repeat what I said that day to you, Mr. Mayor: 'God bless you,'" Barham said. ...
Shane Rife of Garden City said he was "shocked" to learn that Hammoud had appeared at a rally where Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani praised Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a "hero." "We have a mayor in the United States who is sharing a platform with somebody, with [a] terrorist!?" Rife asked. "Where is your allegiance? Is your allegiance to the United States or is your allegiance to Hezbollah?" Pastor Jeff Davis of Dearborn Evangelical Covenant Church also voiced support for Barham, stressing his long service in the city. Nagi Almudhegi, a Yemeni-American engineer and candidate for mayor, also weighed in during an interview with Fox News Digital. "The United States of America is built on the principles of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. These two principles are sacrosanct," Almudhegi said.
"If I were in Mayor Abdullah Hamoud's spot at that time, I would have not said anything. The gentleman has a right, as an American citizen, to speak his mind. And he did it in a respectful, calm way. The mayor should have afforded him that opportunity instead of launching into that tirade." He warned that Hammoud's "not welcome here" remark risked fueling a false impression that Christians are not accepted in Dearborn. "People would get the impression, or it would feed into the paranoia that is very, very wrong, that Dearborn is a racist place, or there's no place for Christians. And that is what I'm 100% against," Almudhegi said.

Collin RuggThe "news" report calls this male interloper "she." Trans extremists are fleeing the country. Oh no. Despite Trump's order to the military to end DEI and to reject trans recruits as bad for military discipline, the military continues promoting trans people on DEI grounds.
@CollinRugg NEW: Jurupa Valley High School girls volleyball team is desperately trying to find opponents as Patriot High School becomes the *8th* school to refuse to play against their transgender star. Girls' teams are refusing to play against trans player AB Hernandez.
According to Outkick, who attended a game, AB Hernandez's advantage is "so clear and obvious that several members of the opposing team's supporters were visibly upset by it." According to a new lawsuit launched by three current and former volleyball teammates, Hernandez placed his hands on female players. "Beyond the locker room, A.H. engaged in unwelcomed and offensive contact, including slapping and/or placing his hands on female players' buttocks, including Plaintiffs, during practices, games, and huddles," the lawsuit alleges. Every adult who continues to allow and affirm this is evil.
After seeing a transgender colleague of mine get selected for promotion over a cisgendered colleague this week, I reviewed the transgender policy of both the DOW and the Army to try to understand how this could happen given that President Trump's guidance was issued nearly 9 months ago. First, the DOW policy delegated how service members with disqualifying conditions are to be identified to each Service Department. This resulted in Service Departments expressly forbidding commanders from directing service-wide IMRs to efficiently and effectively comply with the order. At the service department level, confusing guidance emerged regarding processing of waivers, TERA, and the establishment of "voluntary" and "involuntary" phases needlessly delaying compliance. ....Speaking of Female Naval Officers: "Mikie" Sherrill, who makes her service in the military her central argument for electing her NJ governor, refuses to release her military records. That's because she was punished by the Naval Academy for being part of a cheating scandal. She claims that she was only punished because she refused to rat on fellow Midshipmen. We could look at her records to confirm that -- or disprove it, and find out she was one of the cheaters -- but she won't release her records.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice -Grey's LawMany in the military are familiar with Hanlon's Razor which implores us not to attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence, but in an environment where there are people with fundamentally incompatible values and incompetence is endemic in accordance with the nature of bureaucracy, Grey's Law is the better heuristic. We can't reflexively distinguish between incompetence and malice in such an environment, and even using the term malice is a bit misleading. Is behaving in a manner consistent with your ideals and beliefs malicious? Before I veer too far off into the realm of philosophy, let us move on and consider the career of a senior bureaucrat in OSW P&R likely involved in the development of EO18143 policy to help explain why compliance has proven so challenging. Ms. Stephanie Miller is the Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Military Personnel Policy Office of the Under Secretary of War for Personnel Policy. While not reflected in her current bio, she spent much of her time at the Pentagon leading the way in the development and execution of DEI policy. We know from retired Navy Commander Theresa Carpenter that female Naval Officers (or FNOs) seem to have a cultural affinity for extreme egalitarianism. There also seems to be a pattern here whereby this class understands that their egalitarian beliefs need to be hidden between this post and Ms. Miller's removal of her history of developing DEI policy. Finally, the history of working for Susan Collins who voted against the confirmation of Pete Hegseth justifying this in part based on "statements... that Mr. Hegseth has made about women serving in the military"3suggests misalignment with current leadership. Then there is the involvement of Ms. Miller with the inherently egalitarian Immigrant Military Members and Veterans Initiative (IMMVI)... Finally, there is the fact that her husband worked as a lobbyist for a firm that directly profited from policy Ms. Miller was responsible for overseeing as outlined by Sam Shoemate here. If she wasn't willing to address this blatant financial conflict of interest, why would we expect candor regarding the clear but still less obvious ideological conflict of interest? This is only one example, but it is reasonable to infer that Ms. Miller is embedded within a network of ideologically aligned bureaucrats in the Pentagon. This likely includes relationships across each of the Service Departments, and these networks connect into the force as well. This isn't limited to any particular demographic, either, and extends to proven and respected warfighters.
Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for governor of New Jersey, was barred from walking with her class at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1994 as a punishment connected to the massive cheating scandal that implicated over 130 midshipmen in her class. A copy of the commencement program from May 25, 1994, obtained by the New Jersey Globe, does not include Sherrill's name. Sherrill said that her absence from the ceremony was a consequence of failing to report classmates who had been involved in the scandal. "I didn't turn in some of my classmates, so I didn't walk, but graduated and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy, serving for nearly ten years with the highest level of distinction and honor," Sherrill said. However, the Sherrill campaign rejected a request that she permit public inspection of any disciplinary records from her time at the academy. Only Sherrill could authorize the release of those sealed records. Sherrill has made her military service as a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and helicopter pilot the centerpiece of her political identity, but has never publicly discussed her class's cheating controversy in stump speeches or interviews. There were rumors that she was tied to the scandal in 2018 when she sought to flip a House seat in New Jersey's 11th district, but it was suggested to the New Jersey Globe at the time that Sherrill was not involved. The scandal revolved around electrical engineering exam answers that some midshipmen obtained and shared with their classmates in December 1992. Two dozen of Sherrill's classmates were expelled, and one of those involved said in 2002 that he thought more than 400 out of the 663 midshipmen who took the exam had seen copies of it in advance. The events struck at the heart of Annapolis's honor code, sparking congressional hearings and internal investigation; the resignation of Rear Adm. Thomas C. Lynch, the superintendent at Annapolis; and widespread debate over whether the institution had been too lenient in past cases of misconduct. The academy subsequently undertook significant reforms to strengthen its academic integrity system and restore public trust.This is the same woman who says she can't remember whether or not she took $30,000 in campaign funds and turned it into $7 million by playing the stock market, trading in defense stocks while serving on the House Armed Services Committee. She doesn't deny it. She says she can't remember. She can't even say if she made $7 million. She's just not sure. Would you remember if you made $7 million or not? As Larry O'Connor points out, only someone worth a half-billion dollars or more would have no recollection of whether or not she made 7 million fucking dollars. Which, I think, at current conversion rates, would be forty million fucking Deutschmarks. She is running to be NJ Governor. The race is tied. The election is in November. If you are sadly still located in NJ, register and vote. We can do this if we get off of our asses and believe we can do this. Imagine the panic. Imagine the shrieking. Imagine the meltdowns. Imagine the absolute chaos and demoralization it would cause for the 2026 midterms. Go and do likewise, Gentlemen and Female Gentlemen. More Diversity = More Strength.

Are Deranged Left-Wingers Now Overdosing on Tylenol to "Own the CHUDs?"
Plus: GAINZZZ
The left, a group of arts-and-crafts majors and Theater Kids who hilariously claim to be all about The Science (TM), is furiously denying all of their previous coverage of the possible link between acetaminophen and autism. In 2013, Reuters reported on a connection between Tylenol use by pregnant women and autism in their children. But now, they claim there's no scientific basis for making this connection. None at all!
Plus: GAINZZZ
Robert Malone on Tylenol and the FDA's sloppy, Big-Pharma-Phriendly "guidance."
And also: the possible use of a specific form of vitamin B9, folic acid, to reduce the effects of autism.
Note to those suffering from TDS- do not overdose on Tylenol. Tylenol overdose can kill you. How does it kill? By depleting a key molecule called glutathione, which is involved in the biochemical pathway by which Acetaminophen (eg Tylenol) is metabolized (broken down), which happens primarily in the liver. Like all drugs (and vaccines), Tylenol is toxic when taken in sufficient doses that exceed the "therapeutic window". The only question is whether or not the FDA has previously defined that "therapeutic window" too broadly. And, in the case of the developing brain, data suggest a strong risk that, in fact, the FDA has been too promiscuous in its Tylenol dosing guidance. For the most part, epidemiological analyses suggesting otherwise appear to have been compromised by previously unrecognized and unaccounted-for confounding variables. Sound familiar? The FDA and US HHS are now moving to correct that longstanding oversight. POTUS, who has a deep, longstanding, 20 year personal interest in Autism and ASD, has announced this shift in FDA policy and guidance in a press conference. And both dead media and their clients have mounted an aggressive campaign to attack and delegitimize the messengers. But unlike propaganda and marketing, data and actual objective clinical/scientific research are stubborn things.
... What is this drug that the FDA and NIH are endorsing as a potential treatment for some cases of Autism/Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD)? Leucovorin is otherwise known as Folinic acid. It is basically a synthetic vitamin, chemically and pharmacologically related to the vitamin known as Folic acid or B9. ... Adequate levels of folate are necessary to support fetal and child neurodevelopment. Administration of Folinic acid to a subset of children with ASD can result is marked improvements in ASD symptoms, including overall cognitive and communication function. .... Apparently these findings are supported by expert opinion and research at the NIH. Notice anything about these publications and journals? These findings are not being published in 'big" journals. Despite the growing incidence and prevalence of ASD, this basic and clinical research area has been treated as if any research or findings relating to ASD diagnosis and treatment are outside the Overton window of allowable medical and scientific discourse.

The "Mississippi Miracle:" Mississippi and Other Southern States Are Now Leading the Country In Literacy Rates Thanks to Common-Sense Education Standards
Southerners are illiterate and ill-educated?
Sorry, Hoss, you mean California and other blue states are illiterate and ill-educated. Mississippi and other states are now leading most others in childhood literacy and reading achievement.I've banged the drum about this a lot. Educrats are Cargo Cultists who see what the faster-readers are doing and think, "Hey, we'll just tell the slow-readers to do what the fast-readers are doing!" If you're good at redanig, and I asusem most of you are, you read alstmo words by a glance. You know the conxtet of the sectecen, you note the first letter of the wrod, and you see the legthn of the word. You don't read the word letter-by-lrtetel. You scan it at a glnace. In fact, studies have shown that it doesn't matter how many misspellings occur in the interior of a word. If the first letter is right and the length is right, you'll blip right over the misspelled word and read it as the right one. As you did in the last paragraph, in which every fourth word was deliberately jumbled. So this is what experienced readers do -- people who have read millions of words. Fast-reading kids do this too, but with the much-smaller vocabulary they've already become very familiar with. But before that -- they used the phonics method, reading letter by letter and sounding out the words. You use phonics to learn to read. Once you know how to read, you can start reading words-at-a-glance. But stupid, incompetent educrats decided to stop teaching phonics to the slower readers and tell them to just read whole words via the "whole language" method the way that faster-readers do. The problem? The faster readers didn't start with reading whole words at a glance, they started with phonics. And stupid educrats decided to saw off the first five rungs of the reading ladder and tell slower-readers to just jump up to the sixth run. They did this with math, too, which is why parents cannot help their kids learn math any longer. Kids who are good at math begin noticing little patterns and making shortcuts in math. Like, the most simple sort of shortcut: If the problem is 350 divided by 30, you don't divide 350 by 30. You notice that both numbers are divisible by ten and divide everything by ten first, to get 35 divided by 3. A much easier problem to work out. (You might also see that 3 goes into 36 12 times evenly, so that the answer will be just a scotch lower than 12.) But before kids can learn to do this, they have to take math step-by-step. You can't skip steps until you know the actual steps. But just like with reading, idiot incompetent educrats decided that the kids who are bad at math should be taught the grab-bag of little tricks and short cuts the kids who are good at math have intuitively learned after doing lots and lots of math by the step-by-step approach.
This month, the Department of Education released its latest edition of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the standardized tests better known as the Nation's Report Card. The results have left me blazing with rage. In my home state of California, for instance, only 30% of public school fourth graders can read proficiently. Fully 41% cannot even read at a basic level -- which is to say, they cannot really understand and interpret written text at all. Eighth graders, as you might expect, look almost as bad. These numbers have been tumbling downhill in California and more widely across the U.S. for years now, and not just because of school closures during the pandemic. Nationwide, reading scores for fourth graders peaked back in 2015, and while the especially ugly 2022 outcomes were dismissed at first as COVID-19 outliers, scores have fallen further since. The decline is the worst for the kids who were already struggling; the test scores of the bottom 10% of students have dropped catastrophically. But scores are not slipping everywhere. In Mississippi, they have been rising year over year. The state recovered from a brief decline during COVID and has now surpassed its pre-COVID highs. Its fourth grade students outperform California's on average, even though our state is richer, more educated, and spends about 50% more per pupil. The difference is most pronounced if you look at the most disadvantaged students. In California, only 28% of Black fourth graders read at or above basic level, for instance, compared to 52% in Mississippi. But it's not just that Mississippi has raised the floor. It has also raised the ceiling: The state is also one of the nation's best performers when you look at students who are not "economically disadvantaged."
Consider this the latest chapter of the "Mississippi Miracle," which has seen the state climb from 49th in the country on fourth grade reading to ninth nationally. This rise has received a great deal of coverage in publications ranging from The New York Times to The New York Post. And yet, it still feels as if what's taking place in the Deep South still has been grossly undersold. First, it's not just Mississippi -- Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee have adopted the same strategies, stemmed the bleeding affecting states elsewhere, and seen significant improvements. Second, many people who aren't too focused on education policy seem to imagine Mississippi has simply stopped underperforming, that they're now doing about as well as everyone else. This is not true. They haven't just caught up to your state; they are now wildly outperforming it. If you live where I do, in Oakland, California, and you cannot afford private education, you should be seriously considering moving to Mississippi for the substantially better public schools. Black students are as likely to be basic-or-above readers in Mississippi (where the median Black household income was $37,900 in 2023) as in national top performer Massachusetts (where the median Black household income was $67,000 in 2022.) ... To fail [in teaching children to read] is to lastingly abandon a significant fraction of our children to a lifelong struggle. And blue states have been failing. We have been spending lots of money on schools, but we have not been willing to muster the political will and effort necessary to hold those schools accountable for results and adopt teaching practices that actually work. For a while, there was the excuse that it was hard to know what did work. But over the last 15 years, as Mississippi has scaled the state rankings and other southern states have mimicked its success, it has become clear that we do know -- or we could, if we wanted to. "People are at a loss and would rather refer to it as the "Mississippi Miracle" than look under the hood to see what is really happening," Kareem Weaver, the executive director of FULCRUM, a literacy advocacy group here in Oakland, told me. "They aren't doing anything that others can't do. In fact, they are doing it with far less money than most state departments of education have at their disposal." We just have to ask ourselves: Are we going to do it, or is it unimportant to us whether our children learn to read? ... [T]here are some obvious commonalities among the Southern Surge states. White names three, the first of which sounds obvious in retrospect but was in fact novel: The states adopted reading curricula backed by actual scientific research. This led to them adopting phonics-based early literacy programs and rejecting ones that used the debunked "whole language" method that encourages students to vaguely guess at words based on context instead of figuring them out sound-by-sound.
That's what I just said.
This is the part of the story that has gotten the most attention -- teach phonics! And you should, indeed, teach phonics.
But making schools adopt the approach took more than a mere nudge. The Southern Surge states have tried earmarked funding, guidance to districts, and outright mandates to accomplish universal adoption.In other words: the states had to force teachers to stop using a method that didn't work and start teaching a method that does work. They didn't want to teach phonics because they didn't want to have to learn phonics themselves to teach it. They want to just tell kids to just look at word and magically divine its meaning. Because it's easier for them. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach for the US public school system.
"Those states all made a commitment to rigorous reviews of the highest quality published materials for students and some level of incentive -- whether it was voluntary or involuntary -- for districts to implement those curriculums," White said. ...Hm, what have they gotten distracted by? Maybe on teaching that there are 57 genders with new genders being scientifically discovered every day?
The third pillar is everyone's least favorite, but it's equally crucial. "Number three is clear accountability at the district level, at the school level, at the educator level, and at the student and parent level," White said. Accountability, of course, means standardized tests, requirements that students master reading before they are advanced to the fourth grade, and rankings of schools on performance. Accountability is no fun; when there aren't active political currents pushing for it, it tends to erode. But it's badly needed. "Schools have gotten very distracted," White told me. "And at the same time, many states have been loosening the incentive structures that exist to focus on reading and math knowledge and skills. I think you have to question that. I think you have to see that these states have all had stringent accountability as a core tenet and have done it over successive administrations even when it wasn't a popular thing to do."

JustTheNews/The Center Square: The Soros Foundation Gave $80 Million to Groups Promoting/Organizing Extremist Violence
The DOJ is deciding whether to formally open an investigation. This inquiry is based on information received from the Capital Research Center. This report notes the CRC's finding that $80 million flowed from the Soros Foundation to violent left-wing groups.
In other words, this is the information the DOJ is looking at right now.Read the whole thing. This is interesting:
Amid President Donald Trump officially designating Antifa a domestic terror organization, a new report details how a prominent billionaire may be funneling millions to extremist groups engaging in violent uprisings nationwide. A new report from Capital Research Center details how billionaire George Soros's Open Society Foundations has given more than $80 million to groups "tied to terrorism or extremist violence." The foundation has awarded more than $23 million to seven groups "that directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality" in the U.S., including engaging or providing material support to "violence, property destruction, economic sabotage, harassment" among others that meet the domestic terrorism definition, according to the report. The report, authored by Ryan Mauro, details a nexus between domestic terror activities and support for international terrorism, specifically Hamas, in addition to communist sympathizers. "Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in 'direct actions' that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism," according to the report. "These groups include the Center for Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots, the Sunrise Movement, which endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments." The report highlights the Sunrise Movement, which it says has received at least $2 million from Open Society, adding that it has "endorsed and solicited financial support" for Antifa-associated groups such as Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest coalition. The coalition has been tied to arson and violence against law enforcement and utility workers, including an attack on the construction of a police training center by throwing Molotov cocktails, bricks and rocks, as well as setting construction equipment on fire. As part of its outreach, the Sunrise movement has urged supporters to donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, which supports protestors in various capacities, including legal defense and physical supplies, according to the report. "The Fund admits it posts bail and provides legal defenses for the arrested protestors. Prosecutors allege it also provides funds for ammunition, surveillance equipment, handheld radios, a drone, and an array of camping supplies for Stop Cop City terrorist activities," according to the report. Among the other groups Open Society supports, according to the report, is $400,000 since 2020 to the Center for Third World Organizing/Ruckus Society/BlackOUT Collective. The report claims the group "boasts it 'threw down with people in the streets'" during the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020.
The report argues that Open Society's tax exemptions could be at risk because it funds "groups that brazenly acknowledge their prohibited behavior," which could lead to investigation.As the left continues to insist that Antifa is not an organization but "just an idea," Andy Ngo keeps revealing how this organization recruits, trains, and directs its terrorists.
A group called "Crimethinc Thinc-Exworkers," Ngo posted on Wednesday, is "one of the largest and most influential Antifa organizing sites," and just "released a guide explaining how Antifa and their co-conspirators organize to target the U.S. government." "It explains that one should form 'tight-knit' cells for fundraising, 'intelligence gathering' and communications. They suggest committing violence to pressure agencies, politicians and institutions into cutting off ties with ICE." Here's their handy guide to forming an Antifa sub-group of your own in just seven easy steps:

JustTheNews: 274 Federal Agents Were Present at January 6th Mostly Peaceful Dust-Up; FBI Agents Complained of Being "Political Pawns" for "Woke" Leadership
They hid this for five years. They were asked dozens of times and always claimed they didn't know or couldn't answer.
And suddenly the answer is given. All it took was an FBI Director who had learned to count when he was in kindergarten.FBI Bombshell: 274 agents sent to Capitol for J6, many later complained they were political 'pawns' Hidden for four years, an after-action report on FBI's involvement in Jan. 6 riot found by Director Patel shows dozens of agents feared that the FBI had become "woke" and "liberally biased."The leftwing antifa crusader Wray denied any wokeness:
The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become "pawns in a political war," according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years. Scores of FBI agents and personnel -- many from the bureau's premier Washington field office (WFO) -- sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows. The most persistent complaint was that the bureau during the James Comey and Chris Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protesters from the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 episode. "The FBI should make clear to its personnel and the public that, despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously," one employee wrote in a stinging review. "It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offenders' perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations; and it should equally and aggressively protect all Americans regardless of perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations." That agent urged FBI leaders "to identify viable exit options for FBI personnel who no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias." One agent suggested the problem extended beyond the bureau to D.C. U.S. Attorney's office, indicating a more widespread problem with political bias. "Currently, the US Attorneys office is dictating what it is that gets investigated. This is a dangerous precedent because we can barely get them to prosecute investigations that clearly meet thresholds needed for Federal prosecutions," the agent wrote. "However, their willingness to conduct a search warrant on someone's life for a misdemeanor seems ridiculous. It is unreasonable for the FBI to conduct investigations involving misdemeanor violations at a federal level... it is not our role." Many of the agents' feedback focused on the Washington Field Office and its culture. "WFO is a hopelessly broken office that's more concerned about wearing masks and recruiting preferred racial/sexual groups than catching actual bad guys," one worker wrote. ... Wray, Patel's predecessor, steadfastly refused to tell Congress how many if any agents went to the Capitol that day. And a prior DOJ Inspector General Report did not divulge the number, referring only to a SWAT team the bureau sent into the Capitol and having more than two dozen informants in the crowd. The existence of mass FBI agents at the Capitol on Jan. 6 could also be a problem in many of the cases that were subsequently brought in court. If agents were witnesses at the Capitol and did not disclose it in the subsequent affidavits during prosecutions it could create grounds for defendants to appeal. The document also reveals for the first time that there were widespread concerns for years inside the bureau -- sentiments that boiled over after the FBI began sending SWAT teams to arrest Jan. 6 participants on misdemeanor charges -- that the FBI had become biased in favor of liberals and against conservatives.
Happy Friday!
"I have found almost invariably, the people screaming the loudest about the politicization of the FBI are themselves the most political, and more often than not, making claims of politicization to advance their own views or goals, and they often don't know the facts or are choosing to ignore them," Wray added in an episode of the podcast "FBI Retired Case File Review" that aired the same year. But frontline agents repeatedly raised issues of liberal bias and wokeness in their after-action assessments. The words "politics" or "bias" were mentioned more than a dozen times in responses, and similar sentiments scores of times in the 50 pages. "Our response to the Capitol Riot reeks of political bias," one wrote. Another added: "I wonder if our biases affected our preparedness." A third suggested the agents and analysts had become engrossed in the main business of Washington -- politics -- rather than crime fighting and blamed the bureau's leadership for the slide. "We have been used as pawns in a political war, and FBI leadership fell into the trap and has allowed it to happen," that employee wrote. "We are supposed to call balls and strikes, regardless of political pressure, now we can't even be trusted to be on the field," another agent commented."

Tricolor Auto’s Failure Has It All - ESG, Woke Capital, Illegal Immigration, Securities Fraud, Government Diversity Programs, BlackRock, etc.
program because Tricolor focuses on selling its cars and financial services to underserved communities, specifically Spanish-speaking non-citizens. Tricolor’s CEO, Daniel Chu, was quoted by Barron’s in 2022 as stating, “No one else is providing meaningful dollar credit to an illegal immigrant.”
As documented in this recent Barron’s article (“Tricolor Files for Bankruptcy, The Auto Lender Was Once an ESG Favorite,” “Financial institutions until recently touted their social bond purchases as part of their commitment to ESG—or environmental, social and governance—principles. BlackRock took a $90 million stake in Tricolor in 2021 as part of its Impact Opportunities Fund focusing on businesses and projects owned, led by, or serving members of minority groups.” Of course BlackRock was involved.
You may recall that a major contributor to the financial crash of 2008 was Wall Street wizards packaging up a bunch of sub-prime mortgages, securitizing them, and then selling those “mortgage backed securities” to investors as something other than perfumed garbage. That is effectively what Tricolor has been doing with its auto loans, with the help of Wall Street.
In a Tricolor press release from March of this year titled “Tricolor Closes $328 Million Securitization to Advance Financial Inclusion at Scale in Underserved Communities,” CEO Chu stated, ”By providing deserving people with access to reliable, affordable transportation, Tricolor, which operates across six states and ranks as the third largest used auto retailer in Texas and California, helps move them into the financial mainstream and reverse systemic financial inequities in America.” Like the other securities issuance I referenced, JP Morgan Chase also promoted these odious securities, along with Barclay’s and Fifth Third Bank.
Per Car Dealership Guy, Tricolor’s bonds have collapsed to a value of 12 cents on the dollar, virtually wiping out the investors who bought those bonds. But as bad as this all sounds so far, it’s actually worse. There was massive fraud by Tricolor, which is causing losses to all parties who did business with it.

The Morning Report — 9/26/25
On the latest edition of the podcast, which dropped yesterday and is linked here and in the sidebar and at the usual outlets listed at the bottom of this post, CBD and I discussed the potential for mass civil unrest if not an open hot civil war given the Democrat/Leftist supported, covertly if not overtly backed round of assassinations and political terrorism against law enforcement and the citizenry. We both, as I'm sure all of you applauded President Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization. The question is is "Antifa" an actual quantifiable/identifiable organization or is it merely an ideology or common belief system among people who may or may not be loosely or closely affiliated that communicate with one another for the purposes of committing acts of civil disorder, rioting and even random mass or individually targeted violence, such as assassinations. Regardless, they and/or it must be fully investigated to uncover who and what is giving them financial and of course political cover. The question as is always the case is Cui Bono? who benefits. or who is perceived to benefit whenever cities are burned to the ground and looted or when potential leaders are taken out? If you said Democrats/Leftists you win a cookie.
“JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” Trump proclaimed in a Truth Social post. “One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI.” “Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts.” Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice, related to testimony he provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 30, 2020. In an exchange during the hearing with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Comey denied authorizing leaks to media outlets related to FBI investigations into alleged collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian officials, and a separate probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. “That statement was false, because, as JAMES B. COMEY JR. then and there knew, he in fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation concerning PERSON 1,” read the two-page indictment. Comey, 64, faces up to five years in prison if convicted of both counts. . . When asked by Fox News Digital if former CIA Director John Brennan, who is being investigated for allegedly making false statements to Congress related to the Trump-Russia probe, should also be charged, the president responded: “We’ll have to see what happens.” “It is up to the Justice Department, but I can tell you, it is a group of people that was very disappointing,” Trump added. “This makes Watergate look like peanuts.” “They tried to destroy our country.”While it is certainly satisfying to see this lanky hunk of piss face the music as it were, given the utterly corrupt American Justice system that allowed President Trump and many others to be persecuted via prosecution and in many cases actually imprisoned and driven to near financial ruin, does anyone really think that a not bought-and-paid-for rigged jury will be seated in front of an honest non-Hawaiian hack-in-black defender of the Leftist globalist order that will actually convict Comey? Of course he is going to skate, assuming that some sort of hinky bullshit doesn't prevent the trial from happening in the first place or that the indictment isn't tossed. I take no pleasure in writing that, as my cynicism truly wounds me deep unto my soul. When you get right down to it, the very same evil that spawned the likes of James Comey, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper and all the rest of them also created the accursed assassin who slew Charlie Kirk whose now immortal soul and all too brief life stand in diametric opposition to those of any and all of the aforementioned.

We should take the left’s invocation of John Brown seriously. It’s a call to murder anyone who opposes their agenda. On the same day this week that a leftist sniper unleashed a deadly attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, fliers were spotted on the campus of Georgetown University for something called the John Brown Club. The fliers quoted a phrase that Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, inscribed on one of the bullets recovered from his rifle: “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” Under this, the flier read, “The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.” The flier includes a QR code linking to a signup page that says, “We’re building a community that’s done with ceremonial resistance and strongly worded letters. If you want to make a real change in your community, let us know below.”The bitter irony, a phrase that I seem to be writing on a daily basis now is that the political party that benefits or is giving nod and a wink approval if not waving the bloody red flag of terrorism is the very same party that started a civil war to preserve and expand slavery across America and then to impose racist Jim Crow laws to suppress blacks and then 80 years later created concentration camps here in America to round up and imprison the Nisei who did nothing but commit the crime of having Japanese ancestry when that nation bombed Pearl Harbor. Yeah, Antifa is anti-fascist the same as Islam is a religion and a religion of peace. When you get right down to it Antifa is Democrats. Period, full stop. Everything wrong with this country, all the misery, pain, suffering, dislocation and utter wastage of life, blood, treasure and human potential is directly the fault of Democrat/Leftist/Progressivism. Far from being the champions of freedom and the downtrodden, they crave absolute power even if it reduces everyone to a rotting corpse in a mass grave. There is nothing sacred they will not desecrate in the fulfillment of their mad evil desires to lord over us. With all of that as a set up, this next story made me go hmmm:
. . . It’s time to take the left’s repeated invocations of Brown seriously, because they obviously do. Two months ago, a major Antifa plot to ambush and kill ICE agents in Alvarado, Texas, was foiled, but only after a police officer was shot in the neck. Eleven left-wing extremists, members of a North Texas Antifa cell, were arrested on federal charges of terrorism and attempted murder. They were heavily armed with rifles, pistols, and body armor. . . These recurring historical references to John Brown should be a wake-up call to the Trump administration and federal law enforcement agencies. Simply put, to invoke Brown is to justify — and threaten — political violence and terrorism.
Some really big news in the American military community broke this week, as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is convening an unprecedented meeting of his senior generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, September 30th. As the proprietor of a somewhat prolific X account that largely focuses on military matters, many people have been asking me what I think this meeting is all about, as the meeting is currently shrouded in mystery. So what do I think? . . . I would bet my bottom dollar that a big part of this meeting will serve to read the riot act to a cadre of egomaniacal senior military leaders who have lost sight of why they exist and have never been held to account for their numerous failures of recent years—a true “Come to Pete” meeting (or as we sometimes said in the Army, “wall-to-wall counseling").Psaki-psircling back to this notion of civil war or mass civil unrest should Prsident Trump's investigation of Antifa come uncomfortably close to exposing top Democrat party leadership and non-governmental leftist actors as funding and even directing them in acts of political terrorism, then, given the corruption in DC which for sure sadly extends to the now re-renamed War Department, the President must be sure that he and we are not on the wrong end of a whole lot of howitzers. Recall that Obama purged much of the Pentagon's top brass almost down to and through the lower echelons of the flag officer corps to ensure loyalty to his pervered Islamo-Communist agenda and the result was a hollowed out, unprepared military with morale at all time lows. Just what he and our enemies abroad were drooling over. And then came the miracle of Donald Trump in 2016. Holy cow and oy gevalt. 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 weekend!

Daily Tech News 26 September 2025
Top Story
- Raspberry Pi has announced the Raspberry Pi 500+, which is what everyone had hoped the Raspberry Pi 500 would be, but. (Raspberry Pi)
Specifically, it includes an M.2 slot - and comes with a 256GB M.2 SSD - so storage is many times faster than using microSD cards.
It also includes 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB on the Pi 500, and 4GB on the Pi 400.
If also has a mechanical keyboard. Including the Four Essential Keys, which the 400 and 500 are both missing.
Unfortunately, all this comes at a price: Compared with the $66 Pi 400 and $90 Pi 500, it costs $200. Not unreasonable given the capabilities and quality, but something that is not quite as easy an impulse buy.

The filthy disgusting Chinese Communist Party is, admittedly, pretty good at civil engineering. A floating roadway. A bridge is absolutely merked by a flash flood. When is a bridge a tunnel? A bridgeover for a river.
A sinkhole opens in Thailand as a tunnel collapses. More video here.
In the Netherlands, they built a tunnel under an existing bridge in a single weekend. I grieve at how the US almost deliberately makes itself the worst in almost all categories.

Report: A Dozen DOJ Lawyers Have Been Tasked With Investigating George Soros' Donations to Extremist/Terrorist Groups
BREAKING: CRIMINAL JAMES COMEY INDICTED FOR PERJURY AND OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS
Oh no. Before you get too excited: They're not investigating Soros' funding of terrorism yet. Now they're only looking at some information provided by a private group to determine if there's enough evidence to even justify the opening of an investigation. I think this is called the "predication" phase. Determining if there is enough of an evidentiary predicate to even open an investigation. But do remember how flimsy the evidence was for all the many, many investigations the DOJ opened on Trump and conservatives under Obama and Biden. Under Obama and Biden, the DOJ and FBI found predication everywhere they looked. Carter Page talked to a Russian once? That's predication for spying on him and everyone who spoke to him, like Trump and his staffers. Never mind that Carter Page was an active source for the CIA who was encouraged to talk to foreigners to get information for the CIA -- we'll just delete that from the record when we apply for a FISA warrant.

The New York Times is reporting that a "senior Justice Department official" has directed "more than a half dozen U.S. attorney's offices to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros." Soros is the notorious Democrat donor and billionaire mastermind behind a lot of the Left's attempts to gain power and control in America. Now it appears we may get a peek behind that curtain. According to the Times report, its reporters had the chance to view a copy of the DOJ official's memo detailing a list of charges that could be filed against Soros's Open Society Foundations. These include racketeering, arson, wire fraud, and providing material support for terrorism. The report says that DOJ department heads seem to be taking orders from President Trump so "that specific people or groups be subject to criminal investigation -- a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference." Oddly, after all the lawfare thrown at Trump since 2020, the Times has the gall to characterize this as "a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference." ... Before closing out its story by running cover for Soros, the Times referred back to a social media post Trump made in August in which he said Soros "should be charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act."

Surprise! Second Quarter GDP Growth Unexpectedly Revised Upwards from a Solid 3.3% to a Strong 3.8%
Jerome Powell will take this as a green light to raise interest rates again.
So that's not really enough for a post, so I'll add some unrelated items that also aren't enough for a full post: Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth asks Trump to finally approve the death warrant of "workplace violence" Muslim Mass Murderer Nidal Hassan.
On Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its third and final estimate of second-quarter growth, and the results blew through the doomsday chatter from the left. The economy expanded at a robust annualized rate of 3.8% from April through June, far above the 3.3% forecast and higher than the initial estimate of 3.0%. Consumer spending, long a key barometer of economic strength, also came in hotter than analysts had anticipated. Services in particular saw a strong revision upward, led by transportation, financial services, and insurance. Goods spending wasn't as strong overall, thanks to a downward revision, but Americans still put plenty of money into motor vehicles and parts. For all the media chatter about consumer pessimism, the numbers show just the opposite: Americans are spending, and they're spending big.
Defense Department Secretary Pete Hegseth is seeking the death penalty for former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people and injured dozens of others at Texas's Fort Hood nearly 16 years ago. Hegseth is asking President Trump for final approval for the military execution of Hasan, an ex-Army psychiatrist who gunned down 13 people and wounded 32 others at the Army base near Killeen, Texas, in November 2009. "I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan. This savage terrorist deserves the harshest lawful punishment for his 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays," Hegseth said in a statement to The Hill on Wednesday.The left is now freaking out. I mean, nothing new there. Let me be more specific: the left is now freaking out about the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who is the boss of all general and admirals, summoning all the generals and admirals to an all-hands meeting in Virginia, without telling them why.

Ultra-Woke Bookstore That Advertises Itself as a "Feminist Radical Space" for Drug Addicts and Is Run By "Melanated POCs" Winds Up, Get This, Shutting Down
A little humor for these bleak days.
Woke broke the bookstore. The radical Lower East Side shop that lured drug addicts to its storefront by offering free clothing, food and Narcan suddenly shut down Tuesday -- sparking internal warfare and finger pointing. Without warning, Bluestockings Cooperative announced that it would permanently shut down after more than 26 years, stating that "daily operations are unfortunately no longer sustainable on multiple fronts." ... The Suffolk Street shop blamed the closure on its failure as a worker-owned cooperative to "come to consensus around the guiding principles and practices Bluestockings should embody" -- adding that an inability to align on political and business operations directly led to the setbacks the business faced over the last two years.In other words, the feminists running this radical queer space for junkies wanted the owners to just lose money forever, and the owners, surprisingly enough, disagreed.
... Bluestockings came under intense outrage from its posh Lower East Side neighborhood, which transformed into a "zombie apocalypse" of strung-out junkies shooting up in broad daylight who were drawn to the bookstore's free and indiscriminate services. The self-described "radically inclusive" shop was a state-recognized Opiate Overdose Prevention Program and offered "harm reduction services" like Narcan, drug-testing strips and a used needle-drop off bin -- which neighbors alleged enabled the junkies. In recent years, Bluestockings plunged into around $100,000 in debt to its publishers and book distributors, according to reports. ... Neighbors, however, celebrated the closure and expressed hope that its termination would finally usher out the five regulars who have turned Suffolk Street into a drug den. "It's going to be a plus," said Marie, 68, who has lived on the block for her entire life. "I heard they were giving out free needles, which is a good thing and a bad thing because everyone knew where to go, but I guess no one was overdosing from a bad needle ... You see the [drug] exchanges in front of your face." The retired meter maid admitted that the issue has lessened in recent years, but that the street -- which houses a pre-school -- fills up with homeless addicts at night. Police pass through during the day more frequently, she added. ... Numerous "worker-owners" of the cooperative flooded the comments section of the Bluestocking's closing announcement to claim they had not been consulted before they were fired from their gigs, a move they described as "violent" and racially-charged. "My collective of in-store workers, all melanated POC, did not make this decision. the white folks on the lease who are former worker owners made this decision without consulting any of us. hold the white folks attempting to act like this was a collective process accountable. this is false and white violence," one employee by the name of Dheivanai claimed.Radical leftist black and Hispanic agitators always distinguish between "melanated folx" -- yes, they say "folx" in their message -- as their way of excluding Asians. That's why they came up with the term "BIPOC," "black and indigenous (that is, Hispanic and Indian) persons of color." To make it clear that they should get the DEI jobs, not the Asians.
... "This was not a consensus," Gandhi said. "If you're a cooperative and if you're worker-owned, the people who were actually working had not contributed to this decision."There was no "consensus" between workers and owners over whether the owners would add to their $100,000+ debt to keep the radical queer melanated POC feminists on the payroll. And then the owners, who are paying all the bills, made the "violent" white decision to stop losing money. All of this is very reminiscent of the Philadelphia coffee shop run by radical queer folx that BlackOrchid brought to our attention a couple of years ago.

AGAIN: Leftwingers Celebrate Their Latest Assassin While Also Denying He's Part of the Left
Lefties celebrated the anti-ICE murderer... before the incompetent shooter killed one of their precious illegal aliens.
Gunther EaglemanMSNBC will not stop calling ICE "the Gestapo."
@GuntherEagleman Sep 24 BREAKING: Todd Lyons was previously scheduled to appear on CNN for a different reason, but he came live as the situation unfolded in Dallas. He is NOT messing around and got right to the point! "This is the SECOND TIME now we've had a shooting at one of our facilities in the Dallas area. It's just a sad time that we have to worry about VIOLENCE against law enforcement." "You know, I've NEVER seen anything like this in my law enforcement career. I've NEVER seen THREATS on law enforcement specifically ICE increased the way it is. You know, we're up over 1,000% assaults on officers right now." "Really just a lot of the the talk that's out there, a lot of the rhetoric is just the VIOLENCE directed towards law enforcement officers JUST TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB!" The Democrats and the legacy media MUST stop inciting their comrades to violence.

New Poll Shows Republican Jack Ciattarelli Now Tied With the Virginia Carpetbagger and Congressional Entrepreneur "Mikie" Sherrill
Sherrill is a Virginian who worked as an attorney under Obama and then ran and won a congressional seat in NJ.
She's one of those many, many Democrats who enter Congress with $50,000 in the bank account and wind up with $25 million within a few years.The bulk of social media criticism Republicans have lobbed at Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., since she faced off against Jack Ciattarelli on Sunday stems from comments she made months ago on a May 21 episode of "The Breakfast Club." When radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Sherrill if she made $7 million in stock trades, referencing a report by The Washington Free Beacon, the Democratic nominee said, "I haven't. I don't believe I did, but I would have to go and see what that was alluding to..."A couple of days ago, Ciattarelli released an internal poll showing him ahead by one point:
America First InsightInternal polls tend to be much more accurate than worthless "public polling" cited in the media. On the other hand, the campaign running them has an incentive to juice the numbers to create a bandwagon effect. But now an Emerson Poll conducted for NJ channel WPIX find the two tied:

Newest Leftwing Assassin Drops: FBI Reveals That Anti-ICE Sniper Used Apps the Left Created to Track ICE Agents, Wrote That He Wanted to Spread "Real Terror"
The left claimed that because the parents of Charlie Kirk's murderer were Republicans, that means that the killer was a right-winger too. So let's check in with this newest Left-Wing Killer's mom.
Fox News
@FoxNews BREAKING: Dallas gunman used apps that tracked ICE agents, handwritten note threatened 'real terror,' FBI reveals
More details on the "Classic MAGA" assassin.
Anti-ICE gunman Joshua Jahn carefully plotted his assault on immigration officers before taking up a sniper position on a Dallas rooftop, and expressed a desire to instill "terror" in agents, new information released by the FBI reveals. A handwritten note recovered by investigators said, "Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, 'is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?'" But despite his apparent stated wish to harm immigration agents, the only victims of his attack were three detained migrants, one of whom was killed and two others left in critical condition. Jahn, who opened fire at a van near the entrance of an ICE field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning,had also conducted multiple searches of the "Charlie Kirk Shot Video" between Sept. 23 and 24, just before the shooting, FBI Director Kash Patel said in an X post Thursday. He also searched for apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents, and downloaded a document titled "Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management," which the FBI said contains a list of DHS facilities.
The sister of Dallas ICE sniper Joshua Jahn, who killed one migrant detainee and wounded two others Wednesday, has a long criminal history -- including one charge that mirrors her brother's rap sheet. Kioko Jahn, 27, has been arrested three times in Collin County and is believed to have had numerous other run-ins with the law across Texas since 2017, according to online records. Jahn was first cuffed on April 4, 2019, and charged with misdemeanor assault, an offense she seemingly pleaded guilty to seven months later in exchange for an unspecified probation term, court records show. The Fairview resident was booked again on March 4, 2022, for marijuana possession -- seven years after her brother was reportedly busted for the same charge. Her case was dismissed in August 2023. The shooter's sibling was hauled in the next day, on March 5, 2022, but later walked free on magistrate-set bond conditions, according to Collin County court records. .... The gunman -- a registered independent who voted in the Democratic primary in 2020 and last cast a ballot in 2024 -- was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following the violent attack.

Hypothetically, do we think if an explicitly right-wing killer went to the explicitly right-wing activism app to find victims to create "real terror," that would be real big deal, bc media got 5 years of bullshit mileage out of Palin's map and Parler was removed for inadequate moderation of speech.
The left claimed that because the parents of Charlie Kirk's murderer were Republicans, that means that the killer was a right-winger too. So let's check in with this newest Left-Wing Killer's mom.
Aaron RuparThe left is also claiming, again, that any evidence connecting this obvious "anti-ICE" far-left Democrat extremist to the left is just... a false flag frame-job by the right.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.
