White House: If Schumer Shuts Down the Government to Force Us to Pay For Medicare for Illegal Aliens, We'll Mass-Fire Bureaucrats Instead of Furoughing Them
The White House budget office is instructing federal agencies to prepare reduction-in-force plans for mass firings during a possible government shutdown, specifically targeting employees who work for programs that are not legally required to continue. The Office of Management and Budget move to permanently reduce the government workforce if there is a shutdown, outlined in a memo shared with POLITICO ahead of release to agencies tonight, escalates the stakes of a potential shutdown next week. In the memo, OMB told agencies to identify programs, projects and activities where discretionary funding will lapse on Oct. 1 and no alternative funding source is available. For those areas, OMB directed agencies to begin drafting RIF [Reduction In Force] plans that would go beyond standard furloughs, permanently eliminating jobs in programs not consistent with President Donald Trump's priorities in the event of a shutdown. The move marks a significant break from how shutdowns have been handled in recent decades, when most furloughs were temporary and employees were brought back once Congress voted to reopen government and funding was restored. This time, OMB Director Russ Vought is using the threat of permanent job cuts as leverage, upping the ante in the standoff with Democrats in Congress over government spending. "Programs that did not benefit from an infusion of mandatory appropriations will bear the brunt of a shutdown," OMB wrote in the memo. Agencies were told to submit their proposed RIF plans to OMB and to issue notices to employees even if they would otherwise be excepted or furloughed during a lapse in funding. Programs that will continue regardless of a shutdown include Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, military operations, law enforcement, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and air traffic control, according to an OMB official granted anonymity to share information not yet public.Schumer and the Democrats are really going to shut down the government, at least for a while, to try to force Trump to spend Medicare dollars on sex change operations for illegals. (Among other things.) Happy Thursday!

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Just like America and great Britain continued to buy German machinery, textiles and pharmaceuticals during WWII! Until the EU gets serious about the Ukraine war, and stops funding Russia, there is absolutely no claim on any shared NATO involvement. Of course that means American involvement, because while most of NATO has pledged to increase defense spending, they have yet to do so. We still pay the lion's share of European defense! But this has been the EU method for years. They talk a big game, but quietly trade with the most evil countries on earth. Take a look at the machinery that ran Iran's nuclear program...it sure wasn't Iranian. Or the steel used in Hamas's tunnels? What this sclerotic and weak continent wants is for America to bail them out yet again. Their masturbatory fantasies of American air strikes on Russian positions in Ukraine, and American tanks driving on Donbas might seem to them to be reasonable, but 250,000 American servicemen died the last time Europe decided to duke it out. Maybe they should send some of their effeminate, entitled youth into the bloodbath of Ukraine before they expect us to bail them out.

Before the Ukraine-Russia war in 2022, Moscow provided around 40 percent of the EU's natural gas imports, along with significant volumes of crude oil and coal.
Eurostat data show that Russia's share of EU liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports stood at 12.9 percent in the second quarter of 2025, while pipeline gas accounted for 12 percent, with Norway, the United States, and Algeria displacing much of Moscow's supply. Following the EU's seaborne crude ban in December 2022, the only remaining legal flows of Russian crude into the bloc come via the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline, supplying Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic under exemptions.

The Morning Report — 9/25/25
And I pray that the LORD in His mercy and wisdom opens the eyes, minds and hearts of those who seek our destruction to see the error of their ways, repent and find their way to salvation and redemption. Amen. And just to put the cherry on the parfait, for those still in need of an emetic, I give you today's entry from the That's Not Funny That's Sick Dept.:
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!
We still don't know who the victims were. They were listed as 'detainees,' meaning, they almost certainly were here illegally, and they were shot while being unloaded from a detention van in front of the ICE offices. They might have been awful criminals. They might have just been lower-middle class men of Latin America or another developing region looking for better economic opportunities, who ignored official warnings to self-deport. The worst the U.S. would have done to them would have been to send them back to their homelands.Considering a psychotic literal transexual-loving hardcore Democrat gunned down Charlie Kirk despite the media's failed attempt to label the assassin a MAGA Republican, I fully expect the media to claim this as a combination TPUSA/MAGA/Mossad false flag operation at any moment.
Meanwhile, California governor Gavin Newsom last night continued the Democrat Party’s vicious rhetoric that has encouraged this behavior by saying on Stephen Colbert’s leftwing propaganda show that ICE is President Trump’s “private domestic army.” Nor did Newsom stop there. The Democrat spewed the rhetoric during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night as he blasted the Trump admin’s “authoritarian tendencies” and said the “ICE issue is alarming beyond words.” “People ask, ‘Well, is authoritarianism you being hyperbolic?’ [@#$%!] we’re being hyperbolic. If you’re a black or brown community, it’s here in this country… These are not just authoritarian tendencies; these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government,” he said during a lengthy rant. …“That’s happening in the United States of America: Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing, no due process, no oversight, zero accountability,” Newsom said. “This can’t be normalized. None of this can be normalized.”This on top of 10 straight years of nonstop shrieking that Donald Trump is literally Hitler and the GOP and conservatives are white supremacist Nazi fascists hell bent on committing genocide and creating the Fourth Reichhhhhhhh-uh. And people wonder why our President was shot at twice, police stations and ICE facilities along with churches and synagogues are firebombed and on and on and on. But wait, there's more from this greasy, sleazy degenerate power-mad criminal scumbag . . .
On Tuesday, during an appearance on CBS’s “The Late Show,” Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) expressed concern that President Donald Trump was attempting to “rig” the upcoming elections. . . “So, look, I just I think it’s important to have those civil engagements. I think it’s important to dialog. It’s important to learn from your opponents, and it’s important to reconcile your weaknesses. As the Democrat Party, we have a lot of work to do to make up for our failures in the past.” Newsom added, “We got crushed in this last election, and now we’re in a position where we are struggling to communicate. We’re struggling, to win back now, the majority in the House of Representatives. And that’s a big part of what I’m doing. Not just today in terms of the work out here, raising money, but also raising awareness around how Donald Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections and how I fear that we will not have an election in 2028. I really mean that. And the core of my soul, unless we wake up to the code red, what’s happening in this country, and we wake up soberly, to how serious this moment is.”YOU HAVE NO SOUL. YOU ARE A MONSTROUS INHUMAN GHOUL. Period full stop. The fucking unmitigated chutzpocritical gall of this evil bastard is off the charts. Aside from being the source of all politically motivated violence and bloodshed for the past 200 years, the Democrat party's stock in trade is election rigging and interference as we have seen in 2020 and 1960 on a national level and who knows how many times on state and local levels, especially where Democrats have reigned supreme across multiple generations. All things considered, as of this writing, my gut tells me the the GOP is going to maintain and perhaps expand its majority in both chambers of Congress and win in 2028. And unless and until the Democrat Party and whoever is organizing and funding their paramilitary arms in Antifa, BLM and elsewhere are utterly destroyed root and branch, the aftermath of those victories will make the summer of 2020 look like a day at the beach. The ultimate goal of the Democrat Left is absolute permanent power. One man one vote ONE TIME. Or one man, alive, dead, legally registered or not, One vote (in multiples andDemocrat only), one time. Unless and until their stranglehold on the schools and the media is broken, we are heading for a terrible reckoning. The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk proved it. He was exposing them and cleaving off future generations from their poisonous siren song of socialism, perversion and dissolution. And so, they struck. Just as with Islam and Israel, there can be no two-state solution. They want us subjugated or dead. The Democrat Left pose an existential threat to the American experiment and the American Dream. We cannot endure this much longer because once they sense that they are headed for oblivion, then all bets will be off and all of us will be in their crosshairs, assuming we aren't already and all things considered, I think we are. This is not hyperbole. This is based on the most cursory exam of our history as well as human history and sadly human nature. GOD help us, and give us the strength and wisdom to see the way forward and the courage to do what we must to preserve our way of life and what was the greatest nation and society in history, and truly the last best hope for humanity, from the destruction of the forces of darkness and evil.
And I pray that the LORD in His mercy and wisdom opens the eyes, minds and hearts of those who seek our destruction to see the error of their ways, repent and find their way to salvation and redemption. Amen. And just to put the cherry on the parfait, for those still in need of an emetic, I give you today's entry from the That's Not Funny That's Sick Dept.:

Daily Tech News 25 September 2025
Top Story
- Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme and Elite Not Quite So Extreme As All That, successors to the Snapdragon X Elite family. (Tom's Hardware)
The 12 core X Elite performed pretty well among laptop chips, just slightly behind AMD's own 12 core chip, the Ryzen 370. So long as the software you were running was compatible, which wasn't always the case.
It was doomed to irrelevance by a combination of high prices and being promoted with Microsoft's doomed Recall software which absolutely nobody wants or trusts.
The X2 Elite Extreme updates the cores in unspecified ways, bumps the clock speed from 4.3GHz to 5GHz, increased the core count from 12 (8 fast plus 4 efficiency) to 18 (12 fast plus 6 efficiency), and also increases the memory with from 128 bits to 192 bits.
Qualcomm claims this will increase multi-threaded performance by 75%, and given that it has 50% more cores that seems plausible.
Laptops with the new chips will ship in the first half of next year.

All of the totally-not-paid leftwing influencers are repeating the same script they used with Charlie Kirk, claiming the "anti-ICE" sniper is rilly right-wing you guys, you gotta believe me bro.
@AndrewKolvet Yes, Jimmy got emotional. So what. He's emotional for himself because he almost torched his entire career. 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. What he's really saying is that he still thinks it's fair game to slander conservatives. He would rather advance his own political and cultural agenda than confront the truth. The truth is that his own side has been fanning the flames of political assassinations for years. The truth is that someone on the left picked up a gun and murdered someone on the right who advocated for peaceful debate. It's critical that liars admit they lied. There can be no restoration without that. Anything short of that is a fake and scripted cry line designed to endear him to his fans, not to make right the wrong he committed.

"It's just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for."

Report: The Degenerate Crime Boss James Comey Is Expected to Be Indicted Within the Next Few Days
One of FusionGPS's top operatives confirms it:
Ken Dilanian
@DilanianMSNBC Former FBI Director James Comey, for years the target of President Trump's ire, is expected to be indicted in the coming days in the Eastern District of Virginia, where a prosecutor who opposed bringing the case was recently fired, three sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC. The full extent of the charges being prepared against Comey is unclear, but the sources believe that at least one element of the indictment--if it goes forward--will accuse him of lying to Congress during his testimony on September 30, 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information. The five year statute of limitations on that charge would lapse on Tuesday.
Citizen Free PressLOL. He was counting down the days. Oh well.
@CitizenFreePres
NBC reports James Comey is likely to face a federal criminal indictment in the next 6 days, including charges of lying to Congress. The statute of limitations on the perjury charge expires next Tuesday.

Actual Poll: Trump's Approval Rating Fell by 1%, Within the Margin of Error, But Democrats Are Losing Big on 8 of the Top Ten Issues
The left-wing media never stops wrapping is fragile cultists in bubble-wrap, "protecting" them from reality so that every election they are shocked and stunned by the results, and then they fall further into mental illness.
The Gaslight Media isn't gaslighting us any longer because we know they are congenital liars and vicious anti-American Marxist propagandists. But their fellow cultists still think they're telling them the truth. Ed Morrissey writes about the tiny, insignificant result Reuters chooses to highlight as the main takeaway:So the big news in this poll is ... Trump's approval rating dropped by a single point from their last tracking cycle. The margin of error in this survey of 1,109 adults is +/- 3%, by the way. This means that there is no meaningful difference between the two polls, nor between either of these and the preceding poll in late August, where Trump's approval rating was 40%. It was 40% in their iteration prior to that in early August too, and the late July result as well. Going back over the entire year, the Reuters/Ipsos poll has consistently put Trump's approval rating between 40% and 46%, which fits exactly into that +/- 3% margin of error.Here's what the Gaslight Media decided to hide:

Reports: Classified Documents Found In Search of John Bolton's Washington, DC Office
No one is above the law.
The documents weren't at his home, but his office. That's not legally relevant. I just think that people will naturally think "home" and I'm just clarifying it's his office. He's such a limpwristed cuck he probably doesn't even have sick shelves in his office like real men do.FBI agents executing a search warrant at former national security adviser John Bolton's downtown Washington office last month turned up documents marked as classified, according to a court filing released Tuesday. A description of the documents gathered in the Aug. 22 search suggested they included materials that referenced weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. mission to the United Nations and records related to the U.S. government's strategic communications. The inventory by an FBI agent doesn't specify the number of suspected classified documents. But it lists several collections or folders that were labeled "confidential" and some pages marked "secret." The heading on at least one set marked "confidential" was redacted from the inventory, filed earlier this month in federal court in Washington.As was the case with Trump, Bolton had long refused to give up the classified documents when the government demanded them. (But unlike Trump, he had no presidential power to declare the documents unclassified.) A judge warned Bolton that he may have committed a crime in publishing classified information in his anti-Trump book. The judge didn't rule that the book's publication should be stopped, reasoning that Bolton had already sent out hundreds of copies and the secrets he exposed were no longer secret. And then Biden dropped the case against his political ally.
Both search warrant applications indicated FBI agents were seeking evidence related to three felony offenses, including gathering, transmitting or losing national defense information in violation of the Espionage Act and retaining classified information without permission. In Trump's first term, Bolton faced a lawsuit claiming he included classified information in a book he wrote after leaving the administration. A federal judge warned publicly that the former White House official's actions might have been criminal. However, a Justice Department probe did not lead to charges and was eventually dropped under the Biden administration in 2021.Now watch Politico suddenly become skeptical of claims of a foreign country (most likely Russian) hacking into a Democrat's emails.
It’s not known when the investigation restarted. Court filings indicate that investigators determined that Bolton’s AOL email account was hacked by a foreign entity, although details of the alleged hack and how the U.S. became aware of it remain unclear.This newfound skepticism is deployed to help Bolton. Politico is challenging the claim that Bolton's illegal and sloppy handling of classified information but that information into the hands of RUSSIAN AGENTS. You of course remember that whenever anyone on the right points out that there is very little evidence for the claim that RUSSIAN AGENTS hacked DNC emails to help Trump, we're accused of being AGENTS OF PUTIN. But of course left-wingers can deny Putin's hacking all day long because there's just no way that socialist far-left extremists like "reporters" could never be accused of siding with a communist dictator. That just wouldn't make any sense!
Below: Apparently four of the seized folders are labled "Trump I" through "Trump IV."
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley 1h
Classified material was reportedly seized from the home of John Bolton. For politicians and pundits who insisted that classified material found at Mar-a-Lago justified that raid, the goose just met the gander in the narrative surrounding the Bolton raid... 1h
...Sen. Adam Schiff previously supported the raid on Mar-0-Lago as necessary if there were any classified documents still in Trump's possession after leaving office. However, he denounced the raid on Bolton's home. ...I was skeptical of both raids. Ordinarily, documents have been secured and retrieved without such raids. However, any discovery of classified material comes after years of conflict over classified information with Bolton, particularly related to his book.

Daily Mail: The Anti-ICE Sniper Has Been Identified; Bullets Found On the Sniper's Body Are, Once Again, Engraved With Left-Wing "Anti-ICE" Messaging
A sniper who killed two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal. The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself. Multiple law enforcement sources named Jahn as the shooter who opened fire from the rooftop of a building adjacent to the ICE detention center. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN that the death toll stood at two as of Wednesday afternoon. A third victim was in serious condition. The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.
Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter's body were engraved with 'anti-ICE messages', and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: 'Anti-ICE.' The gunman opened fire 'from an elevated position' as migrants were inside the transport van. He is believed to have been found on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney's office, WFAA reported. Patel said in an X post: 'While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack. 'These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.' Witness Arianny Sierra told NBC that she was in her car waiting for her husband to return from an ICE appointment in the facility when she heard shots ring out. 'The shots began at around 6:10 a.m. There were like 20 shots in a row,' she said. Although the sniper appeared to target migrants in ICE custody, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on X that the shooting represented an attack on ICE and law enforcement. 'We will continue to do everything in our power to combat the alarming increase of targeted attacks against ICE and all law enforcement by evil, twisted individuals,' Paxton wrote. ... At the press conference on Wednesday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz made an impassioned plea for the end of politically motivated violence that has swept the nation in recent times Cruz continued: 'This is the third shooting in Texas directed at ICE or CBP. This must stop. 'To every politician who is using rhetoric, demonizing ICE, and demonizing CBP. Stop. To every politician demanding that ICE agents be doxed and calling for people to go after their families. Stop. This has very real consequences. 'Look, in America, we disagree. That's fine. That's the democratic process. But your political opponents are not Nazis. We need to learn to work together without demonizing each other, without attacking each other.'

Jimmy Kimmel Disgraces Himself: No Apology, No Acknowledgement of His Disinformation or a Correction, Says The Killer is Merely a "Sick Person," Demands MAGA Forgive Him
Jimmy Kimmel's already-small audience was Thanos snapped, as a large number of affiliates owned by Sinclair and Nexstar continue pre-empting his wretched "show."
Benny JohnsonKeep in mind as you watch his fake tears and lying about what he did and calling Christians bad Christians if they don't forgive him -- he's trying to put this matter to rest and get Sinclair and Nexstar to air his show again. And even with that as his goal, he still offers no apologies, no retraction of his lie, and even invokes Erika Kirk to insist that Christians must forgive him if they're really Christian. Kimmel immediately began attacking Trump and declaring that The Real Victims Here in the Charlie Kirk assassination were leftwing fake journalists.
@bennyjohnson BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel addresses his lies about the assassination of Charlie Kirk that resulted in him being ripped off air last week in his return to late night. Sinclair and Nexstar, who own nearly 25% of local ABC stations, are not airing tonight's show.

Anti-ICE Terrorist Kills One, Shoots Two More in Sniper Attack on ICE Facility
FBI Director Kash PatelIs this a plausible motive? Two days ago the ICE facility at Dallas detained a "beloved local Muslim leader." From WFAA:
@FBIDirectorKash
This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities. While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase "ANTI ICE." More updates will be forthcoming. These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland, Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice. Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased.
Beloved Dallas Muslim community leader detained by ICE after decades of service in North TexasOh he's "well-liked" among Muslims. Well obviously then Sharia law controls this case and he can commit any crimes he likes in the lands of the infidels.
A well-liked Dallas Muslim community leader was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday, according to the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA).
MLFA said Marwan Marouf, a leader with Muslim American Society's Dallas chapter, was stopped by ICE agents early Sept. 22 after dropping his son off at school and heading to work. In a statement, MLFA said it has represented Marouf for more than six years as he sought lawful permanent residence in the United States. The organization stated that Marouf arrived in the U.S. more than 30 years ago as an international student, later marrying and raising a family in North Texas.

Wednesday Morning Rant
A Necessary Adjustment
On Friday, President Trump signed a proclamation regarding reforms to the H-1B visa system. It will be in effect for a year and before it expires, the reforms need to be made permanent - and hopefully made more significant. There are two parts to the changes, which are around fees and earnings. The fees are grabbing most of the headlines.
The Proclamation lays out why the changes are being made, and it boils down to a single word: "abuse." The H-1B system is something of an inversion from its intention. It is supposed to a temporary skilled worker program to allow companies to shore up expertise. The phenomenon - described in the Proclamation and in the press over the past couple of decades - of Americans being made to train their cheaper H-1B replacements is entirely counter to the whole idea. The H-1Bs are supposed to make good money training their replacements in the domestic market. As the Proclamation lays out, one reason this doesn't happen is money, so the money is changing.

The Morning Report — 9/24/25
Yes, Tipping is not a city in China. While a porous border and a joke of an immigration system until the coming of Donald Trump have allowed terrorists as well as spies and saboteurs from Islamic nations as well as Red China to set up shop within our own borders. Research labs in both universities and the private sector and industries across the board are crawling with Chinese agents conducting espionage and potentially acting as sleeper cells ready to strike when given the order. Recall a few months back the revelations that the Red Chinese have established actual police stations in many urban areas, most notably NYC, that have significant Chinese immigrant communities. You don't have to be a patriotic Chi-Com to spy for Xi, you just have to have family members back home who have guns pointed at their heads to do Xi's bidding, or else. Of course I wold be remiss not to note that far too many politicians on the national and local levels are in the pocket of the Red Chinese and have been for years or decades, primarily Democrat but unfortunately probably quite a few Republicans as well, given the nature of graft and corruption, especially the closer one gets to D.C. Of course we have our own homegrown fifth columnists from sea to shining sea that could be acting independently or quite likely in concert with the Red Chinese, the Iranians, Russians, Maduro, Lula, and every other one of our enemies and rivals across the globe.
The Secret Service has uncovered a vast network of over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers in the New York area, believed to be used by foreign “nation-state threat actors” and criminals for swatting calls targeting prominent conservatives including Marjorie Taylor Greene. The amount of hardware seized in the bust could be used to hamper cell service in New York City. The U.S. Secret Service has uncovered a massive network of more than 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers located within a 35-mile radius of New York City. The operation, believed to be run by foreign “nation-state threat actors” and criminals, was uncovered during an investigation into a surge of swatting calls targeting high-ranking government officials, including members of Congress and the Trump administration. Targets of the swatting calls reportedly include Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), and Nikki Haley. The Secret Service’s Advanced Threat Interdiction Unit, in collaboration with various law enforcement agencies, traced the swatting signals to several locations in the New York tri-state area. Upon further investigation, they found a sophisticated network of SIM servers capable of generating enormous amounts of phone traffic while rapidly switching out SIM cards to evade detection.Our greatest threat from abroad comes from our biggest geopolitical enemy, Communist China. Going back to the early days of the Soviet Union and for nearly 70 years, their playbook has included the fomenting of internal unrest and discord by subverting every aspect of our society. The big target in that regard has always been and remains Academia. The indoctrination of several generations of America's children is how everyone from Charlie Kirk's assassin, to the entirety of the Democrat party, the media and entertainment industry, the professoriate and far too many in the so-called "expert" class of virtually every field of endeavor have had their minds warped to hate America as founded, Judeo/Christian values, the values that have elevated humanity since Magna Carta and the Enlightenment. Charlie Kirk of blessed memory founded Turning Point USA. But given this bit of news on top of Kirk's martyrdom and the political terrorism being waged on American-Americans exclusively from the Democrat/Left, is the USA in fact at a TIPPING POINT?!

President Trump says he is going after Antifa. In a September 18 Truth Social post, the president wrote, “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.” Days later while answering questions from the press in the Oval Office, President Trump stated clearly, “Antifa and their radical allies have crossed every line. It’s time to call them what they are: terrorists. We’re designating Antifa as a major terrorist organization, and we’ll go after every group funding or supporting this sick, dangerous radical left disaster.” Going further, he reminded reporters, “This isn’t just about one group; it’s about the entire network of left-wing extremists who’ve turned our streets into battlegrounds.” Finally, he threw down the gauntlet with this promise: “We’ll root them out to protect every American.” I pray that the president is successful in his mission. He tried this once before during the Antifa-BLM insurrection of 2020 — the most costly riots in U.S. history. While Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Portland, Kenosha, St. Louis, and other American cities were being set on fire, President Trump wrote, “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.”Just like the KKK of yore, Antifa can certainly be considered as unofficially/officially the Armed Militant Wing of the Democrat Party. Did the DNC order the attempts on Donald Trump or the taking out of Charlie Kirk, or the rioting and looting that destroyed a few dozen cities during the summer of 2020? Whether they gave the orders or not, the resulting chaos and discord benefitted them and to a greater or lesser extent, it benefitted Xi and the Chi-Coms to have America preoccupied with internal unrest, from a domestic and international propaganda perspective for sure. And as for January 6th 2021, we know for sure that Antifa and BLM confederates were the main instigators and the sole perpetrators of the chaos and mayhem inside the Capitol building, the doors of which were opened by Malig-Nancy Pelosi's Capitol police department. who killed two innocent women, Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland. In any case, Antifa, its affiliates, cadres, financiers and whoever is running political cover for them must be rooted out and exterminated mercilessly. By any means necessary as all the cool kids would say. It's us or them. If anyone cannot see what's at stake, then they're not paying attention. If the slaying of Charlie Kirk reveals anything positive, it means that the Democrat Left has nothing but violence and terrorism to counter his message of truth and hope. The news of TPUSA growing by leaps and bounds especially since Sunday's memorial service certainly gives one reason to hope that we're not done yet. That said, the rats on the Left are cornered and desperate. Given all the levers of power and influence they control, in particular the courts and the media, fighting back and resisting peacefully and winning, is going to be very difficult if ultimately impossible. We'll have to wait and see, as our president is fond of saying. But fight we must and shall. Aux Barricades! 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 good day!

Close encounters of the grizzly kind. Pandas apparently have no natural predators, and their prey of choice is a leaf, so they've evolved a very laid-back, lazy kind of lifestyle. Moose family walking down the highway. Another baby moose and mama moose.
Penguins jogging. A bison ambles through the Yellowstone parking lot. Teaching a not-so-bright dog how to catch a ball. The Prisoner. Some serious meteors. Sometimes a woman needs to tickle the baby hippo, if you know what I mean. This is one tough Thug Life bird. Raising an orphaned newborn leopard. ICYMI: If a woman is willing to indulge your stupid hobbies, put a ring on it. Preferably a One Ring replica. ICYMI: Dancing with your golden. Golden retriever puppy is determined to "retrieve" everything. Yorkie-poo wants to make friends with Death. A very nosy, noisy dog. He doesn't like sleeping alone. A cute litter of puppies. One sexy bitch.
