WSJ: Recovered Rifle & Ammo Are Scrawled with Transgender, Antifa Messages;
CNN Hides This Fact From Its Few Viewers By Calling the Cult Slogans "Cultural Phrases"

The FBI recovered some fairly clear pictures of the newest trans terrorist.

This trans terrorist scrawled antifa and transgender death cult slogans on his gun and ammo -- exactly like the last trans terrorist child-murderer did.

Update: This photo of the trans assassin is pretty clear, but I strongly believe it's been enhanced by an AI clean-up which could have possibly distorted some of it. Like, he appears clean shaven here and with smooth skin, but has stubble in the photos and might have a pockmarked face.

Still, might be useful:

On to the trans assassin's rifle:

"The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus, and surveillance video shows the suspect jumping off and fleeing the area on foot," the email read, according to Crowder.

Law enforcement discovered "an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus," the email noted, "The location of the firearm appears to match the suspect's route of travel."

Each of the cartridges had "engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology." Following this Crowder report and the FBI press conference, the Wall Street Journal confirmed the reporting.

CNN is only interested in bringing you facts without any political bias whatsoever.

That's why they translated "transgender, antifa ideology" to "cultural phrases."

Note the first name in the byline is FusionGPS operative and RussiaGate Hoaxer Evan Perez.

CNN further elucidates that it's "not clear" what the trans/antifa terrorist's motive could be.

@RealSaavedra

Federal law enforcement says that the ammunition used by Charlie Kirk's assassin had transgender, anti-fascist ideology engraved on it

CNN makes no mention of what was written, only calling it "cultural phrases", adding it's not clear what the motive is

Unreal

Update! My friend Kyle Shiedler puts it perfectly:

Kyle Shideler
@ShidelerK

"Shooter's rifle scrawled with cultural phrases commonly used by CNN hosts"

On air, CNN's chyrons called the trans terrorist messaging "phrases related to cultural
issues."

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

FallingMan911.jpg

24 years ago our relaxed post-cold-war, end-of-history world changed.

But did it? Or was it that our perspective had become so relaxed that we lost sight of the reality of the human condition, and the even more brutal reality that there were, are, and always will be forces aligned against the best and highest expression of our humanity.

Part of the problem is that we have also lost sight of what that humanity is, and have lost sight of the true face of those who are allied against that humanity.

Our founders knew very well what that humanity is, and knew that without a robust structure protecting it, we would lose it. Our glorious Constitution gave us that structure, and the Bill Of Rights codified the rights that must be protected.

But the true face of those who would destroy our humanity is difficult to discern in a world that carefully rejects clear morality, and much prefers the murky and unstructured view that we are all able to create a moral and ethical structure out of whole cloth.

We can't. There is evil in this world, and no amount of obfuscation and moral relativism can hide that. Islam is evil, and its single-minded purpose is the destruction of exactly what makes us human. And those who would subvert the essence of what makes us unique are also evil. Celebrating transsexualism, stealing our free speech, destroying the family, making love of God a nasty punchline, killing the most innocent among us... all of this and more conspires to steal our individualism and make us just cogs in their infernal machine.

Because evil will never rest, and will do whatever it takes to destroy those who love and respect humanity, we must be vigilant forever.

And there are those among us who are more than vigilant. We are blessed with people who not only are aware of the evil around us, but also join the fight against it.

There was no one in the world who fought harder and better against the encroaching evil than Charlie Kirk. Not with his fists, but with his intellect and wits and love of humanity.

Charlie Kirk was our Happy Warrior!

Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he

That every man in arms should wish to be?

--It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought

Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought

Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:

Whose high endeavours are an inward light

That makes the path before him always bright;

Who, with a natural instinct to discern

What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;

Abides by this resolve, and stops not there,

But makes his moral being his prime care;

Who, doomed to go in company with Pain,

And Fear, and Bloodshed, miserable train!

Turns his necessity to glorious gain;

In face of these doth exercise a power

Which is our human nature's highest dower

The arrant nonsense spewed by evil that Charlie Kirk was a racist and a Nazi and a White Supremacist and hated gays doesn't survive a cursory examination of his work. His skill at refuting evil while still able to smile and love was astonishing, and it is all the more impressive when one appreciates the vitriol that was heaped on him everywhere he went. But he kept doing it, and he made a real difference.

When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group.

What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have reasonable disagreement -- where violence is not an option.

-- Charlie Kirk

The question before us today is whether the evil that is arrayed against humanity can be combated with talking. Some of it? Certainly? But when it crosses into violence, what should good people do?

The Morning Report — 9/11/25

AbeandCharlie.jpg

Good morning kids. It is bitterly ironic that Charlie Kirk, who indeed was a voice of sanity and reason for his generation and indeed for all real Americans, was silenced by an assassin's bullet on the eve of the 24th anniversary of the 9/11/01 attack. His martyrdom at the hands of a crazed Leftist, despite the despicable remark I saw somewhere claiming that he was shot by accident from a gun-toting supporter who fired off a celebratory round or some such bilge. Beyond that, we have Democrat pols and pundits doing what Muslims did 24 years ago as the Twin Towers collapsed, ululating and passing out candy. They are celebrating Kirk's murder while blaming him for his demise. His rhetoric you see caused his demise. Like the rape victim who dressed too provocatively, or Iryna Zaretska who exposed her white neck on a Charlotte tram car to Black the Ripper's knife and only has herself to blame.

One of the most horrendous examples was that Matthew Dowd subhuman waste-of-life from MSNBC or as I label it MSNSDAP. I'm actually shocked that MSNSDAP fired Dowd, considering this is the whorehouse that continues to give a platform to one of this nation's most execrable fomenters of violence in its history, that of the hideous so-called "Reverend" Al Sharpton.

Not to be outdone was bipedal Cesspool JB Pritzker, who as Illinois governor is awash in the blood of innocent Chicagoans as he lets that once great city once home to numerous slaughterhouses and known as the hog butcher of the world degenerate into a slaughterhouse of citizens as criminals roam at will to terrorize the people. But I digress.

Remember how they cheered and made Luigi Mangione a folk hero. I cannot wait to see how Charlie Kirk's assassin is canonized. May the day come when the Left is cannonized from 30MM fire of A-10 Warthogs on a strafing run. Rhetorically speaking of course /s.

When do we get to strike back. When do we get to declare "Never Again" and defend ourselves. If the rule of law means nothing to them, and like President Trump relying on a justice system that is out to destroy him in order to seek justice, then we have passed the tipping point.

Some have postulated that we are in or close to being in a state of civil war but I think that that is incorrect insofar as it would mean that the bodies are piling up on both sides of the divide. And despite all of us being tagged as fascists, Nazis, literally Hitler, white supremacists, Christian nationalists and committers of genocide here and abroad, the facts just do not gibe with reality. But of course that is a sine qua non of Leftists, Democrats and their ilk along with projection. They are doing and behaving in exactly the way they blood libel us as.

What we are confronted with is a political party and movement whose leaders in their two-century and continuing lust for absolute power have amassed a sizable following willing to vote the rest of us straight through a gate marked Arbeit Macht Frei as their antecedent kissing cousins did 80 years ago in Germany.

How many more Charlie Kirks, Iryna Zarutskas, Laken Rileys, catholic school children, Ashli Babitts GOP softball practices, Corporate executives and on and on and on must we mourn before, as the late MLK poetically intoned the biblical passage, "may justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Justice??? from a justice system that is non-stop pissing on our back and proclaiming it's raining. A justice system that threw the book at Daniel Penny, railroaded Donald Trump several times on a slew of bogus charges, and failing to destroy him that way, not to mention 2 or 3 assassination attempts, has shredded the Constitution in derailing his legal authority as President to discharge his duties across a broad range of domestic and foreign policy issues.


My incandescent hatred of the Left in this country not just for what they have done culturally, politically and now by cheering, fomenting and committing actual bloodshed but because they are making me want to see and visit the same, 10,000 times worse upon them. May God save us from the hell they have unleashed upon us and guide us in paths of righteousness so that we as a nation and people may once again live in peace, with truth and justice.

On the latest edition of the podcast, our friend the estimable Jim Lakely of the Heartland Institute discussed with me and CBD the horrifying implications of their latest set of polls, linked here and in the sidebar.

And of course do go to Heartland dot ORG to read and weep for yourselves.

One of of the more shocking revelations was that a very large majority of the 18-39 year old demographic, even across party lines, is strongly in favor of curtailing free speech rights. Considering who Charlie Kirk was and what he dedicated his life to – free speech and open political discourse – his assassination takes on an even more chilling tone.

But, at the young age of 31, Charlie was a part of that age cohort that is pushing to recreate Nazi Germany in their own image here at home.

Let us hope and pray that Charlie was not an outlier and that there really is a sizable number of Americans of all ages that are repulsed by what these polls are revealing about the path we are going down, which more and more is resembling the Road to Hell, or in the death camps what the Nazis euphemistacally and cruelly referred to as the Road to Heaven - the walkway that led to the doors of the gas chamber and crematoria.


I apologize in advance if my editorial today is a bit disjointed. I am just shaking with both rage and grief over Charlie Kirk as well as the memory of 9/11/01. NYC, despite all of its problems and faults, was and always will be my hometown and at the time while I was living in LA I was bicoastal and came back many times. I was in town for a couple of weeks before the attack and in fact was at the WTC the week before. I traveled from my place in Queens via the E train to the Trade Center and weirdly referred to it as my ground zero, from where I would go shopping at Century 21 dept. store, J&R Music world and then take a leisurely stroll up through Tribeca for a breakfast. That was my routine, sometimes accompanied by my father as we would go art gallery hopping in SoHo. I remember emerging from the subway that day and something compelled me to gaze upward to the top of the Towers like a tourist, and I had the weird feeling that I might never have the chance to see them again. My folks wanted me to extend my stay but something compelled me to return to LA and the next thing I knew, my dad was on the phone telling me turn on my TV, and that a plane had struck the WTC. My first thought was Cessna, until I saw the second plane strike the North tower and the world I thought I knew was gone forever. Had I extended my stay, no doubt I would've been at Ground Zero at the exact time of the attack.

Also, I later learned that a schoolfriend of mine happened to be on the 108th floor of the South Tower that day and so, as it is every year now on this day, my thoughts turn to her.

May her and all the memories of those who were slaughtered that day be for a blessing.

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!

Just the News: Kash Patel Says the Assassin Is in Custody

No more details than that, though.


FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday night that the suspect is now in custody. The investigation is still ongoing.

"The [suspect] for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody," Patel posted on X. "Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with the FBI.
We will provide updates when able."

Place your bets:

* Religion of Peace Peace-Maker

* Trantifa "Love is Love" Love-Spreader

* Palestinian Anti-"Genocide" Pro-Jew-Murder activist

* La Raza "You're Racist for Not Subordinating Yourself to My Race" Maryland Man and "Dreamer"

* BLM Anti-Racist Boer-Hunter

* Just Another Democrat Killing People to "Save Democracy"

I saw a tweet, or a purported tweet, by an asshole with a Star Wars Cantina Band name threatening that "something big" would happen to Kirk today. I don't really want to post it because I don't have any idea of its authenticity.

Update: I don't know why I'm hiding it. You be the judge. It might be fake, it might be real, it might be real but just another bitter loser left-wing Satan worshipper praying to his dark god of lies and chaos.

Just the News: Charlie Kirk Has Been Murdered, Shooter Still At Large

Apologies to TJM for posting his post- - I thought we were in a news lull with Kirk in stable condition.

Just the News says that he has died.

They further say that the deranged Democrat arrested at the even is not the shooter, who remains at large.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot on Wednesday at an event in Utah and has been confirmed dead at the age of 31.

Multiple sources confirmed his passing to Just the News.

Kirk was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Despite an initial statement from the school confirming that the suspect was in custody, the person initially arrested was apparently not the shooter, who remains at large, CNN reported.

President Donald Trump noted his passing:

trumpcharliekirk.jpg

We are in a different world than the one we woke up in. (And that one wasn't that great either.)


I will repost TJM's post tomorrow, when there's no so much breaking news. Sorry, TJM.


I'm also sorry for saying that posters posting this sad news were trolls. I've just seen so many leftwing celebrations on Twitter (at Reddit and BlueSky and TikTok), I thought that lefties were now infesting the comments to dance on Charlie Kirk's grave.

I wish * had something wise and comforting to say.

I will say that he was a great moral crusader, smart tough and full of guts, and that he inspired many in life and will inspire still more in his death.

I pray for him. I do not pray for his killers, and those who celebrate his killing. For them, there is only cold, deadeyed hatred.

"Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God."

Matthew 5:4-8

Rest peacefully in the merciful arms of Jesus, Charlie. May the Lord give your family peace.

Tolkien had a good thought on this:

"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till."

The uprooting will not be easy.

Unbelievable.

I recognize this guy, but can't name him. I want a name. I want a name to publish.

I think it's Matthew Dowd, ABC "News's" former "political director."

Do hateful words lead to hateful actions? Boy I sure hope that's not true for your sake, Matt.

Update:

Community Notes & Violations
@CNviolations

BREAKING: It's reported Charlie Kirk is in critical condition. According to the Associated Press.

Critical isn't necessary terrible, as long as he's stable. I think "critical" just means ("just") that he is under close observation and it's a minute-by-minute thing. But if he's stable -- and I don't know if he is -- then there's a good chance he can be saved.

Update: By word of mouth, he's stable -- but they now fear he'll be paralyzed.

62 They're worried about Kirk having a spinal injury now. Survived blood loss now prayers that he's not paralyzed.

There is an AI-altered video circulating showing a close up of a bullet going into Charlie Kirk's neck.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk is real. His injury is real. The long-range video of the shooting is real. But the close-up video that just started circulating is AI.

Don't share AI-generated videos of real events. It creates confusion and causes people to doubt the reality of actual videos depicting real life.

So Kirk might have just been scratched! There is still hope.

But that is all a lie. She is sticking to the Democrat prayerbook that Biden should have stepped down because of the polls, while insisting that he was mentally fit as a fiddle.

Oh, and she also wants you to know that Biden failed to position her for success. In case anyone thought that maybe it wasn't Kamala Harris herself anonymously planting the many, many claims that "Biden's team isn't positioning me for success" in friendly media outlets, but instead just an overly-loyal staffer, no, it was her all along.

Here she gently chastises Biden and his clownwhore wife for putting their egos above the good of the country the Democrat Party.

The Only Story In America: Feds Lodge Terrorism Charge Against Democrats' Black the Ripper; Trump Demands Death Penalty; Karoline Leavitt Blasts Democrat Judges, Prosecutors, and "Complict" Democrat Media

The feds have charged DeCarlos Brown with the federal crime of "Terrorism or other violence resulting in death on a mass transit system." The charge has a maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole -- or death.

He has been charged with committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system.

"This brutal attack on an innocent woman simply trying to get to her destination is an attack on the American way of life. Of course, crimes like this affect the victim the most -- Iryna deserves justice, and we will bring justice to her and her family," Russ Ferguson, a US Attorney, said.

Ferguson was forced to hold back tears as he unveiled the federal charge that Brown has been hit with.


Justice Department officials have labeled the stabbing as a "terroristic act."

Trump isn't quite sure which option he prefers.

Oh wait, he is.

deathpentaltydecarlos.jpg


The Satanic savage who was repeatedly released by left-wing judges and prosecutors says that he didn't commit the crime, the "materials" implanted in his body by the government did.


Decarlos Brown, the man federally charged with murdering 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte commuter train Aug. 22, is now speaking about the horrific slaughter, claiming the government implanted "materials" inside his body to make him butcher the Ukraine refugee.

In a phone interview circulating online, Brown blames "The material. Put it like that. The material using my body. It's that. You know, that's not me.

"I'm talking about just for no reason. But since they did that, since they did that, now they got to investigate the material my body exposed to. Since they want to do all that, now they got to investigate."

The interviewer asks Brown: "She's from the Ukraine ... and you know they got a war ... so I'm just trying to understand, out of all people, why her?"

"I don't have nothing," Brown responded. "They just lashed out on them. That's what happened.

"They lashed out on her. Well I was working out ... Whoever was working the material, they lashed out on her."

That interview is here.

Jesse Watters reports that the magistrate who let DeCarlos Brown out of jail just this past January for no bail -- just a signed promise to show up for his next court date -- is a DEI hire without a law degree who is also a "DEI Consultant" and "Racial Equity Organizer."

Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson

INSANE: Jesse Watters reveals the court that freed Iryna Zarutska's killer is COMPLETELY run by DEI.

A Harris-donor magistrate with no law degree, a clerk who calls herself a "DEI consultant," and "racial equity organizer" and a judge named "DEI Champion of the Year."

"When Brown was arrested yet again in January of this past year, a Democrat judge who I will add was a strong supporter of Kamala Harris, released this insane criminal once again without requiring him to pay any bail."

"Ms. Stokes wasn't elected.

She was nominated by the clerk in Mecklenburg County. The sitting clerk is Alyssa Chin Gary. On her LinkedIn page, she calls herself a clerk and a DEI consultant And her life mission? and a racial Reparations. equity organizer."

"Ms. Stokes was nominated by Judge Carla Archie. Judge Archie isn't just any judge. In 2019, she was the DEI Champion of the Year."

"Is this starting to make sense? Did a woman die because of DEI? This is a DEI court and they have blood on their hands. And if the people in robes are on the same side as the bad guys, that's suicide."

"DEI died when Kamala lost. It's illegal and releasing felons with dozens of arrests for social justice is a crime against the country."

Strong reporting, @JesseBWatters


They all need to face consequences.

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

The Road is Long

When a government steps onto the road to expropriation of property, it is often a long journey. While the grand, fast expropriations of communism in various forms are certainly real, this method is not preferred by those who wish to boil the frog. A long, slow erosion of property rights and the gradual muscling out of former owners in favor of the state or state-connected cronies is much preferred.

Property taxes and regulation are the obvious examples of this. Just keep pushing on the tax rate. Impose new taxes. Drive taxes inexorably higher every year, until the owners cry uncle and sell. Who gets the property in the sale? People who can afford those high taxes - or who have friends in government who can get them abatements. The former owners get to become renters. If the taxes don't do it, the regulations may. Pass as many rules as possible. Restrict how people use property. If you're truly skilled like California is, make insurance impossible, too. Drive down utility and drive up liabilities until the appeal of ownership vanishes. Sell it off, and get out of the way of the state and her cronies.

The Morning Report — 9/10/25

BetterFetter.jpg

Good morning kids. Midweek and there are quite a few things happening, beyond the total news blackout, or twisting of the narrative to preserve protect and defend the status of the subhuman Democrat-spawned savage as the real victim of his butchery of an innocent young woman on a Charlotte tramcar.

First we have the State of Israel swatting the radioactive hornet's nest of Hamas in Qatar.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump pointed out that “unilaterally bombing” Qatar, which has worked “very hard and bravely” to try to broker peace between Israel and Hamas, did “not advance” the goals of the United States or Israel. Trump also expressed that while “eliminating Hamas” was a “worthy goal,” Qatar is a strong ally to the U.S., and he felt “very badly” about the strike.

“This morning, the Trump Administration was notified by the United States Military that Israel was attacking Hamas which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the Capital of Qatar,” Trump said. “This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”

Define the word "ally" for us Mr. President. Qatar is an ally of convenience, nothing more or less. As an Islamic nation first and foremost they culturally and philosophically do not share our values or ultimate geopolitical aims. About the best you can say about the Qataris is that they allow Hamas to be in their midst because it prevents Hamas from slitting their throats. And that's giving them too much of the benefit of the doubt. Yes, we have a huge military presence in that country but perhaps, all things considered we should rethink that. Oh well, it is what it is. At the end of the day, even if Israel were to utterly decimate the ranks of Hamas, the nature of Islam dictates that some other entity will emerge to take its place, perhaps under a different name but the 1500 year and counting quest to slit the throats of every Jew on the planet will go on. Even if Trump knows this, I suppose it is a huge domestic and international third rail he'd be stepping on if he were to utter that undeniable truth, and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt.


Elsewhere in the world, the Ukraine bloodletting now has the potential to get completely out of hand.

Poland shot down drones that entered its airspace during a widespread Russian attack in western Ukraine on Wednesday, with the NATO member calling the incursion “an act of aggression.”

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that he was in “constant contact” with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Tusk has called for an emergency meeting of the council of ministers at 8 a.m., a government spokesman said.

Poland’s military command said drones repeatedly violated Polish airspace during the Russian attack across the border, in western Ukraine, but that operations against these violations had now concluded.. .

. . .“Some of the drones that entered our airspace were shot down. Searches and efforts to locate the potential crash sites of these objects are ongoing,” it said in a statement.

It urged people to stay at home, naming the regions of Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lublin as most at risk, adding: “This is an act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens.”

. . .NATO has yet to comment on the incident. Since the war started in 2022, there have been several incidents of Russian drones entering the airspace of states bordering Ukraine, including Poland and Romania, but they have so far avoided shooting them down. Officials have cited the physical danger that such actions could cause and a desire to avoid an escalation in tensions between Russia and NATO.


Back here in the US-of-A, I posted a poll yesterday by our good friends at the estimable Heartland Institute in conjunction with Rasmussen about the sentiments of young voters that is disturbing in their attitudes about the direction of the nation.

And the beat goes on as Heartland/Rasmussen has released a couple more polls that are painting a rather frightening picture of the future political landscape of America. One of them is again in the lead.

Heartland/Rasmussen Poll: 59% of Young Voters Support Income Caps, 40% Support Penalties for Free Speech, and 59% Support UN Authority Over the United States

There are polls and then there are polls as we know all too well. Over the past few months, I have also reported on polls that seem to indicate just the opposite; a very significant shift of the youth vote away from the Left and and heavily towards the Right if not towards Trump/MAGA him/itself.

The contradictory nature of these polls is something that both CBD and I will raise with our very special guest, Jim Lakely the Comms director at Heartland on the upcoming podcast that will post a bit later today, so stay tuned for that.

While we're on that subject, we also have the Democrat Party itself seemingly tearing itself apart over the rise of this horrid scumbag Zohran Mamdani likely to be installed into Gracie Mansion as NYC's next mayor largely with the votes (legit and otherwise) of a sizable number of the city's youth, far too many of the self-gassing apostate Jews-by birth only and other fools, degenerates and the usual gang of idiots aka registered Democrats. This despite some pretty loud protests from very well-known Democrat pollsters, pols and pundits who see him and see disaster for their party. But, do they have it wrong? Is in-your-face socialism/Communism the future unmasked face of the Democrat Party?

On that note, John Fetterman, the improbable and at first glance laughable Democrat senator from Pennsylvania who we once derided as Lumpy, continues to pleasantly surprise me with his rationality and sanity in the face of the vile insanity of the positions that his party has embraced not just of late but historically in its unslakable thirst for absolute power and control.

First was his full-throated and unwavering support of the state of Israel and unequivocal condemnation of Hamas in the wake of the latter's terrorist mass wave assault and subsequent dark age savagery across southern Israel on 10/7. His words were the diametric opposite of much of the rest of his party, save for its leadership who at best knew that they had to fake even a tepid support of Israel to preserve the Jewish voting bloc and stave off the rusty hacksaws of the Hamas-niks of the "SQUAD" and their ilk.

And with that, I give you this latest gem from the Junior Senator from Pennsylvania:


Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Democrats who have been warming up to and embracing socialism while dismissing capitalism, describing them as “morons.”

. . . “Senator, there’s a Gallup poll that was released that 42 percent of Democrat voters view capitalism favorably, while 66 percent of Democrat voters view socialism favorably. Do you think that’s a messaging issue for Democrats?” a reporter asked.

“Oh, that’s a great, it’s a great question,” Fetterman responded. “I literally was in a former communist nation, and I asked that. I said, ‘Some people in my party, some of the lefties are talking about socialism now. What do you think?’ And he’s like, ‘That’s the worst thing ever. You would never want to live here, I’ve lived through that kind of a thing. You’re going to need a reality check if you ever adopt any of those things. You know, like, you are morons. It’s like, it was a nightmare for us, and now we are a free market nation.’ It was Croatia.”

. . . Fetterman continued to note that people in Croatia were “mystified” why Americans are “even having that conversation in our nation.”

Obviously not "morons" in the Ace of Spades HQ sense of the word but literal morons.

In a conversation with a friend of mine about the polls, while not dismissing them entirely, he did say that when more of Trump's economic policies kick in, many of these youthful poll respondents might have a very different view of things as their personal situations improve along with the rest of the nation.

It's a fair point, but that said the constant media and cultural drumbeat of "capitalism and Trump evil" along with at least 3 generations of propagandizing from Pre-K through Post-Grad has done quite a bit of damage and warped many minds along the way, as we are all too painfully aware.

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!

doof-sunset-beach-bonfire.jpg

Howdy Hordelings! Surprise - I am now your Tuesday ONT host! This night became vacant when scampydog decided to go chase mailmen instead of hosting ONTs. So I decided to move from Mondays to Tuesdays (along with Sundays and Thursdays).
EDIT: Mondays are currently Under Construction, as CBD noted last night.

Anyway, here's a bonus track from the mystery click artist. Opening track to their only album, released in 1989.
