It Begins: Canada Now Murdering People For Minor Ailments, Just As Predicted

The left rails about insurance companies not covering certain drugs or treatments because they're too expensive.

But when the state literally murders people as a way of keeping down government health costs, they applaud.

Distraught family blasts Canada for euthanizing son, 26, who suffered from 'seasonal depression'

By KELLY GARINO, US REPORTER

A family has accused Canada's laws of 'killing the disabled and vulnerable' months after their son, who suffered from seasonal depression, died by assisted suicide.

Kiano Vafaeian, a 26-year-old blind man with Type 1 diabetes, died in December using Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, which allows patients with 'grievous and irremediable' medical conditions to request a lethal drug.

So he was blind and suffered from Type I diabetes, which I understand is quite treatable with injections. (Let me know if I'm wrong.)

So Canada deemed these maladies "grievous and irremediable" and performed yet another Doctor-Directed Murder.

Eligibility was expanded in 2021 to include people with chronic illnesses, disabilities and, pending parliamentary review, potentially individuals with certain mental health conditions.

Vafaeian faced mental health struggles stemming from a car accident at 17, and according to his mother, his depression often flared during the winter months.

For years, the family had successfully prevented their son from using the program. Last year, however, Dr Ellen Wiebe, a MAID provider in British Columbia, approved Vafaeian's death - news the family only learned about days later.

Vafaeian's mother, Margaret Marsilla of Ontario, alleged that Wiebe was 'coaching' her son on how to qualify as a Track 2 patient - those whose natural deaths aren't deemed 'reasonably imminent,' according to Fox News Digital.

'We believe that she was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for,' Marsilla told the outlet.

'''

...

Vafaeian's death certificate now lists the 'antecedent causes' of his assisted suicide as blindness, severe peripheral neuropathy - nerve damage outside the brain and spinal cord that causes pain and numbness - and diabetes.

But his parents said his medical records did not back up the claim that 'severe peripheral neuropathy' was a qualifying factor for his assisted suicide.

'Realistically, safeguards for patients would be reaching out to their family members, giving them a whole bunch of different treatment options,' Marsilla told Fox.

She argued that doctors can approve and carry out euthanasia on Track 2 patients in just 90 days under the current system.

'How is that safe for patients?' she added.

Read the whole thing. Dr. Death is proud and cracks jokes about her murders:

In an interview with the Free Press, Wiebe joked that she had brought more than 1,000 babies into the world while also helping 'more than 500 patients die.'

She also described assisted suicide as 'the best work I've ever done.'

'I have a very strong, passionate desire for human rights,' Wiebe explained. 'I'm willing to take risks for human rights as I do for abortion.'

Canada is a world leader in killing the sad:

Canada has one of the highest rates of medically assisted deaths in the world, 5.1 percent, or a total of 16,499 deaths in 2024.

Obviously the same people who approve of child genital mutilations and consider abortion a religious sacrament will also support murdering the sick and sad.

Democrat Snake Ted Lieu: The Epstein Files, Which Are Filled with Disproven False Tips About Everyone, Show That Trump was Raping Children

Investigatory files are full of false claims. The cops don't just receive valid leads, of course. They receive a lot of absolute nonsense "tips," which is why you always hear the cliched line in a movie about a gruesome murder, "We don't want the press getting a hold of this." Because they know their phone lines will be jammed with the hallucinations of attention-whores and schizophrenics.

The Epstein files are likewise filled with a lot of absolute garbage. Particularly because left-wing lunatics took the opportunity to flood the FBI and police with a ton of a completely-fabricated (or completely-hallucinated) claims that Donald Trump was raping everyone.

Raping who?

Raping EV-ER-Y-ONE!

Thanks to the great work of Thomas Massie and MTG, the Democrats are now paging through completely fake "tips" and claiming they're all real:

Democrats Demand Censure for Congressman Randy Fine Due to His Protection of Dogs From Arrogant Foreign Colonizers

Breitbart:

Democratic politicians have found themselves indirectly defending Islam's 7th-century hatred of man's best friend, dogs.

Several Democrats have instinctively accused Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) of racism after he reacted to a New York-based Muslim advocate, Nerdeen Kiswani -- who said house pet dogs will not be welcome in a non-secular, Islamic New York.

"NYC is coming to Islam," said a February 12 tweet from Kiswani, referring to the November electoral victory of Zohran Mamdani, the Ugandan-born, Indian-origin, immigrant, populist, and Muslim Mayor of New York. She added:

Kiswani responded to many critics: "Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something. It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is shitting everywhere and you're not cleaning it."

Fine responded three days later, on February 15: "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one."

Many Democrats immediately accused Fine of racism and bigotry.

"We must call this what it is. Disgusting bigotry," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) reacted. "Fine must be censured."

After thousands of users pointed out that Khanna was clearly missing the context of Fine's post, he tried again: "Taking an alleged comment by one person and attributing it to everyone who shares that person's faith is the definition of bigotry," he stated.

Fine mocked Khanna's wording of "an alleged comment," as there was no disputing that Kiswani's statement was publicly posted. "Perhaps you should have read it before spouting off like an idiot," the Congressman quipped.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) lamented that Fine's "Islamophobic" comment is "incredibly damaging to Jews trying to combat antisemitism."

"America is BETTER because of our Muslim community," Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wrote. "And we are WORSE when assholes like this guy spout hate."

"This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) vented. "Fine should be censured & stripped of committees."

Fine's November opponent, Jennifer Jenkins, responded, "I'm running to kick that bigot out of Washington."

They're plotting to force a censure vote.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Chip Roy vows to oppose any Democrat effort to censure Rep. Randy Fine after Fine stood firm in defense of Americans' right to own dogs.

The left is furious, but Roy says he won't back down.

Will Chamberlain predicted that softhand cucked "Republicans" will go along with this. They will virtue signal their adherence to the left-wing Gay Race Communism agenda, while having previously refused to vote for censures of Ilhan "Omar" Nur and Epstein PR manager Stacey Plaskett, among others.

Granny Groyper won't say anything about Candace Owens accusing Erika Kirk of murdering her husband or, now, that she's a secret groomer and sex trafficker, but she did freak out like a good AWFUL (which is all she's ever been) when Randy Fine said that if Muslims want to ban dogs, we'll chose dogs over Muslims 11 times out of ten:

Wednesday Morning Rant

Bad Actors

Last week marked a major film festival in Germany, called the Berlinale. It has been particularly interesting this year, given the major cultural and political shift through which we're living. Everyone has come to expect political grandstanding at any event by and for the media. Actors, directors and producers historically adore delivering stern political lectures to the hoi polloi. You can usually set your watch by it. Whatever the issue, some loudmouthed celebrity will wax retardedly about it.

But Berlinale has been interesting because it shows a major shift in how these things go. First, a number of the apparently smarter actors have started to just refuse to engage. This started slowly years ago when one of the smarter (or perhaps just the worst-burned) of the Hollywood actors - Brie Larson - refused to wade into politics when a reporter at Cannes asked her about the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. This is becoming more a theme at this year's Berlinale.

The Morning Report — 2/18/26

Good morning kids. Well, to paraphrase poet Ernest Lawrence Thayer, There is some joy in Hymietown for Jesse Jackson has checked out.

I'm somewhat surprised that I did not come across more notices/obits of the fish-eyed blackguard in my gathering up of the links for this morning. I assume that the usual house organs of the Leftist propanda machine will have hagiographies galore especially this weekend come the Sunday op-ed sections and TV news shows. He truly deserves a prominent position in the pantheon of this nation's worst citizens. His horrendous record is linked here at the invaluable Discover the Networks.

If ever there was a poster child for Divide & Conquer, it would be Jackson. It was, is and always will be the stock in trade of the Democrat Party and anti-American Left, and he was arguably one of, if not its most effective practitioners, as much of the societal dissolution and destruction that had its roots 60 or so years ago, that we are enduring unto this very day has his fingerprints all over it.

And that said, did President Trump really have to heap praise on him? Yeah, I get it, Jackson was a prominent figure among blacks, but surely he could've just come up with some boilerplate sentence of condolences to his family (including his bastard child) and a white lie (pun intended) about his achievements as a civil rights activist and left it at that.

Meanwhile, in the completely shocking news department, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, affectionately referred to by yours truly as Titty-Caca lives up to that moniker every time she opens her mouth to rattle those Donkey Chompers of hers and spout the most inane, inchoate idiotic stupidity. As she did con gusto in Munich.

Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez invested months preparing for her highest-profile overseas trip, but when she arrived at the Munich Security Conference, the progressive lawmaker fumbled through basic foreign policy questions and is now faulting conservatives for the backlash. . . Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf told The Hill that Ocasio-Cortez is “not ready for prime time on the international stage.”

“It was a beauty pageant to show that she had some chops about international issues, and she showed a complete lack of chops about international issues,” Sheinkopf said.

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald offered perhaps the sharpest critique. “Whoever convinced AOC that she had successfully completed her tutoring and was now ready to give book reports about foreign policy in public really should look for another line of work,” Greenwald said in a post on X.

Supposedly she is contemplating a run at the Democrat presidential nomination in 2028? While yes she's a blithering idiot, if she does indeed land at the top of the ticket or even in the Veep slot, her idiocy and insane worldview are in complete alignment with millions of voters that constitute the base and overwhelming majority of the Democrat Party. And having udders and being latina will only help to seal the deal. Now if only her redheaded pasty husband would turn tranny and/or come out of the closet and convert to Islam, she'd be a shoe-in, nein?

In other unsurprising news we have the completely corrupt judiciary shoving excrememnt down our throats and demanding we ask for seconds.

An Obama-appointed federal judge has once again ruled in favor of suspected gang member and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia, giving him a lifeline he doesn't deserve.

Psaki-Psircling back to Jackson for a second, I remember when an open mic caught him in a fit of pique at the ourple-lipped dog-eater promising Al Sharpton that he'd cut Obama's nuts off!"

And speaking of dog-eaters and dog shit, if only the world could eradicate Islam.

Outrage against Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is the left’s outrage du jour. The rage mob swung into action after Fine wrote: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

Yeah, that was it. He didn’t say “Kill them all” or even “Deport them all.” He didn’t recommend any action at all. He was actually responding to an X post from far-left, pro-Hamas activist Nerdeen Kiswani. In response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Kiswani wrote: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”

Animal rights groups have expressed outrage over Morocco’s alleged killing of millions of stray dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to a recent report.

Organizations such as the International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) and PETA have criticized Moroccan officials for culling the population of roughly three million stray dogs, according to the Daily Mail.

The animal rights organizations have reportedly “released images and testimony” claiming that Moroccan officials are resorting to “using harsh methods” such as “clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies,” according to the outlet.

But Jews and Nigerians and other Christians being slaughtered and crickets

Be nice to see PETA come to the defense of Randy Fine. Be nice if I won Powerball every week for the next 10 years or could go back in time and have a threesome with Raquel Welch and Ann Margret. Well at least those latter two are realistic unlike my first sentence.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Antifa-Affiliated Group Stomps a Normal Peaceful Student to Death in Lyon, France

The BBC attempts to gently bury the story under the vague and anodyne headline, "Student death puts French far-left under pressure," as if he died after drinking too much at an antifa party.

The reality? He was a normie who showed up to protect female protesters who call attention to Muslim rape culture. They were protesting a radical Muslim speaker.

This group is called "Collective Nemesis."

An antifa-affiliated group, Jeune Garde (Young Guard, I think), just beat him to the ground and then delivered full-extension kick to his head after full-extension kick to his head.

He died within days of severe brain trauma.

"Student death puts French far-left under pressure"

That's a take.

Student death puts French far-left under pressure

France's radical left is under pressure after the killing of a student in Lyon was blamed on "anti-fascist" militants.

"Blamed"? It's on video.

Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old maths student and nationalist activist, died on Saturday, two days after being beaten up on the street by a group of young men.

State prosecutor Thierry Dran told a news conference on Monday afternoon in Lyon that a murder investigation has been opened into the death.

He said that Deranque was kicked and punched by "at least six" individuals, and that the autopsy showed fatal damage to his skull and brain.

On Thursday afternoon Deranque had given support to a hard-right feminist collective Némésis, which staged a small protest against a left-wing politician's visit to Lyon's Institute of Political Studies (IEP), commonly known as Sciences-Po.

You mean a radical Muslim's visit.

Mobile phone video footage taken a few streets away from the protest's location showed three young men being kicked and punched by a larger group. One person - believed to be Quentin - remained lying on the ground.

According to Dran, there was an initial confrontation between two groups. A short time later Deranque was one of three nationalist activists who, having failed to get away, were cornered by the opposing group.

One group was just some girls who were there to protest the many rapes perpetrated by Muslims. This kid Quentin was there to protect them.

I guess he succeeded -- by giving his own life to protect them from antifa.

Ministers from President Macron's centre-right government blamed "far-left" militants for the killing.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said: "Manifestly it was the far-left that was at work ... This was a mob-killing, with blows that the perpetrators probably did not intend to be fatal."

According to Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, "it is the far-left that killed him. Of that there is no question."

The French government actually called it a lynching -- un lynchage is their word for it. But the BBC won't say that.

"Student death."

At every point, the BBC minimizes the murder by their antifa allies and deceives the reader into thinking the facts are in doubt and that maybe antifa is just getting a bad rap.

And the BBC does not report that after the murder, left-wing French politicians praised the work and the importance of left-wing "protest" groups.

Microsoft AI CEO: Most White-Collar Jobs Will be "Automated by AI" Within Ten Years
I Mean, Within Twelve to Eighteen Months

Does that mean the jobs will be eliminated?

He doesn't say that. He says they'll be "automated by AI." Does that mean workers will be completely replaced, or that one worker can use AI to do the job of five, because so much of the task is being done by AI?

I think it means the latter -- but that means that there will be a huge loss of jobs among white collar workers.

We live in interesting times, unfortunately.

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says AI will reach "human-level performance" in white-collar work.

He predicts most tasks in that field can be automated within the next 12 to 18 months.

Several leaders in the AI industry have warned of impending mass job replacement.

Microsoft's AI CEO is joining a chorus of executives who say they anticipate widespread job automation driven by artificial intelligence.

Mustafa Suleyman, the Microsoft AI chief, said in an interview with the Financial Times that he predicts most, if not every, task in white-collar fields will be automated by AI within the next year or year and a half.

"I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks," Suleyman said in the interview that was published Wednesday. "So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person -- most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months."

The CEO said the trend is already observable in software engineering, in which employees are using "AI-assisted coding for the vast majority of their code production."

"It's a quite different relationship to the technology, and that's happened in the last six months," he said.

Scary. I read a book five years ago that seemed pretty fanciful. It made exactly this prediction. It said that people who currently have prestigious, high-paying, "safe" jobs had better diversify into areas where AI is less likely to displace them because anything AI can do, it will do.

It keeps on coming:

AI set to make medical scan reports twice as easy to understand for patients

by University of Sheffield

Artificial intelligence could soon help patients make sense of complex medical scan results, making them far easier to understand without losing clinical accuracy, a major new study by the University of Sheffield suggests. The research found that when radiology reports for X-Rays, CT and MRI scans were rewritten using advanced AI systems such as ChatGPT, patients found them almost twice as easy to understand compared with the original versions.

Analysis showed that the reading level dropped from "university level" to one more closely aligned with the comprehension of a school pupil aged 11--13.

I don't know if I'm ready to trust AI with anything important. On the twenty questions I've asked it, it was flat-out wrong about half the time.

On the other hand: Hollywood is doomed.

Stephen Colbert Involved in Yet Another Leftwing Propaganda Hoax

The FCC requires "equal time" for political candidates except in the case of what are called "bona fide news programs," who can have on who they like.

Stephen Colbert's unfunny propaganda show is obviously not a "bona fide news program," so it does not meet the requirements for the exception. If Colbert features a Democrat during an election period, he must have on that Democrat's opponents, or else CBS is required to grant those opponents a block of free air time.

Colbert had on yet another far left Democrat as a "guest" on his "comedy" show, the fake Christian leftwing Democrat James Talarico, who is running against Jasmine Ratchet and some others to be the Democrat candidate entitled to lose the Senate race to muh boy Ted Cruz.

Here's some of this Minister of Satan's recent teachings:

Texas Dem who said God is 'nonbinary' now says atheists are more ‘Christ-like’ than Christian colleagues

The Texas House Democrat has history of controversial faith-related statements, including claiming 'God is nonbinary' in 2021

...

"I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico responded. "It is about how you treat other people."

The Texas Democrat is running to serve as a U.S. senator and joined the podcast to discuss the race and how it's expected to be an uphill battle for a progressive Democrat. A Texas Democrat has not been elected to the Senate since 1988, with Talarico looking to unseat Republican Sen. John Cornyn.

"There is a backlash growing in Texas against the extremism and the corruption that we're seeing at all levels of our government, and I'm seeing it everywhere I go," Talarico explained of what he's seeing from the campaign trail to flip the seat blue.

The conversation largely focused on religion, with the former school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian explaining that he leans on his Christianity as he works in the "halls of power" while taking aim at conservatives.

"Christian nationalism, you see people's faith growing out of their politics, right?" he said. "They're baptizing their partisanship, and they're calling that Christianity. And it's why it doesn't resemble the life, death and teachings of Jesus Christ, right?

"These Christians in Congress, these Christian nationalists, they want a Christian nation unless it means providing health care to the sick, unless it means funding food assistance for the hungry or raising the minimum wage for the poor.

His remarks sparked outrage among conservatives on social media who argued Democrats "love putting Christians down" and mocked him for previous comments on religion with one user responding, "says the dude who claims the pro-abortion position is Biblical."

"James Talarico has once again broken out his anti-Christian Christian shtick," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said of the comments. "There isn't a woke cause that he won't claim to find buried in the Bible. Twisting Christian principles to promote woke talking points might play well with coastal elites in New York and California, but he's going to learn real quick that won't fly in Texas."

Yes, I question his Christianity, and given that he feels free to question the Christianity of actual Christians, I feel justified.

CBS decided it did not want to gift free air time to Jasmine Ratchet and the other lesser candidates, so they are not airing this latest propaganda episode.

The FCC was not involved in this decision. CBS decided that they did not want the expense of giving free airtime to Democrat candidates, and so they cancelled the latest shit episode of this low-rated already-money-losing pit of despair.

Colbert, Talarico, and various other damp communists in the propaganda media are claiming "censorship!" and claiming Trump is too afraid to let them speak.

They're all sorts of fake-outraged and looking to gain attention and donations from the hoax.

Jesse Jackson Departs This Mortal Coil to Shake-Down Heaven and Demand God Give $300,000 p.a. Jobs to His Retarded Cousins and Staffers

He will be missed.

By some. I assume.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a defining figure in late 20th-century American politics and the civil rights movement, died early Tuesday at 84 after a prolonged battle with illness, according to a statement from his family and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

Jackson had been living with progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative neurological disorder similar to Parkinson's disease. He was hospitalized in mid-November as his condition deteriorated. After disclosing the diagnosis publicly in 2017, Jackson referred to it as a "physical challenge" and continued to appear at public events and comment on political matters even as his health declined.

In a statement posted online, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition said Jackson "died peacefully on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family," describing him as a civil rights leader whose impact spanned generations.

President Trump weighed in with a lengthy tribute, noting that he had known Jackson "long before becoming President." Trump called him "a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and 'street smarts,'" and described him as "very gregarious -- someone who truly loved people."

He certainly loved lodging invented accusations of racism against companies and then coercing them into paying him millions and hiring on his staffers and useless family members.

Unrelated, except by the word "Rainbow:" Chuck Schumer wants to give the gay flag equal status with the American flag.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer escalated the culture fight Sunday, announcing he will introduce federal legislation to make the Pride flag a "congressionally authorized symbol" -- elevating it to the same statutory category as the American flag, military service flags, and the POW/MIA banner.

In a post on X, Schumer accused President Trump of attacking "not just the LGBTQ community," but "all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC," after a Pride flag was removed earlier this month from the Stonewall National Monument.

"The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground," Schumer claimed, framing the episode as an assault on civil rights history rather than a dispute over federal flag policy.

The flap began after the Department of the Interior issued guidance directing that "non-agency" flags be taken down at National Park Service sites. The Pride flag flying near the Stonewall Inn came down under that directive before later being reinstalled.

Schumer's proposed legislation would lock in formal federal recognition for the Pride flag, placing it under congressional protection and insulating it from future administrative policy shifts.

Palestinian Activist in NYC Calls for Dogs to be Banned as "Indoor Pets" -- No Longer Permitted Inside People's Private Apartments -- Because They are "Unislamic" and "Dirty"

You have no idea how long it took me to find this article, because Google is deliberately suppressing it. Google only returns hits about Florida Congressman Randy Fine facing a "backlash" for saying about Muslims, if you make us choose between dogs and Muslims, the choice is easy, we'll choose dogs.

Google will absolutely not let you find the story that prompted his comment. It's pretty hard to find it on X, requiring you to write out the exact headline.

But it's true, the never-ending cultural imperialism of the Umma now wants you to give up your dogs.

Here's what this vicious Colonizer and advisor to Zohran Mamdani said:

A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic.

Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.'

'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X.

After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'.

'[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote.

'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning it.

'Also clearly trying to weigh in on an issue unaware of the current NYC discourse where we're collectively (jokingly) hating on dogs given all the visible dog s**t in the unmelted snow.'

Muslims typically do not keep dogs as pets as many believers feel they are meant to be used for work such as herding or hunting.

Yet Another "Trans" Mass Shooting the Media Will Pretend Was Perpetrated by a "Woman"

This mass shooting at a "youth hockey game."

They cannot stop mass-murdering children.

A youth hockey game in Rhode Island erupted into chaos when gunfire tore through a crowded rink, leaving two family members dead, three others critically wounded, and the suspected shooter dead in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.

The violence broke out in Pawtucket during a local high school matchup, sending families diving for cover as first responders swarmed the arena. Witnesses described panic in the stands as shots echoed through the building and parents shielded children amid the confusion.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told WPRI that the suspected gunman was 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who went by the name "Roberta." Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on family members inside the rink before turning the weapon on himself.

...

WPRI reported that Dorgan had changed his gender identification several years ago. In 2020, he went to the North Providence Police Department and informed officers that he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery, adding that his father-in-law wanted him out of their shared North Providence residence because of it.

Court records cited by the station show that around the same time, Dorgan's wife filed for divorce. In the filing, she referenced "gender reassignment surgery" and what she described as "narcissistic + personality disorder traits" as factors contributing to the collapse of the marriage.

Wait, the dick-removal surgery didn't cure the serious psychological comorbidities? That's strange. Genital Chop-Shop Salesmen always tell their patients that getting their genitals mutilated will cure all mental illnesses.

The suspect's documented gender transition, detailed in police records and divorce filings, is now part of the broader factual record investigators are examining. The shooting also comes just one week after a separate mass killing in Canada involving a trans-identified suspect -- a back-to-back sequence that is already fueling debate and renewed scrutiny as critics point to what they describe as a troubling pattern of trans-linked violence.

This latest Trans Terrorist threatened he would "GO BERSERK" if people didn't respect his mentally-disordered fake pronouns.

One day before bullets tore through a Rhode Island ice rink, Robert Dorgan -- a 56-year-old transgender-identifying father who also went by Roberta Esposito -- posted a warning that now reads like a flashing red light.

"Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK," Dorgan wrote on X, venting over transgender issues and reacting to a post that referred to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, who is transgender, as a man.

Does it seem to you that ten percent of all mass shootings are perpetrated by entitled, radicalized trans lunatics?

If so, your perception is accurate.

Or so says the AI program Perplexity. Usually we'd want numbers from the government or media, but we know damn well they will hide those numbers forever.

I just had a bit of an argument/discussion with Perplexity, one of the best research AIs out there, about the proportion of mass shooters in recent years who are transgender or trans activists. After a bit of back and forth in which Perplexity admitted to "hand waving" about the proportion of perpetrators who are trans, we settled on a plausible percentage of mass shooters since 2018 who are in that category: about 10%.

New York Times avoids any mention that the alleged murderer at the Rhode Island hockey rink shooting is transgender.

(5 reporters!)

Gender identity must be relentlessly shoved down the gullet but quickly hidden when linked to any horror exposing the depravity of the crusade.

My own local FOX affiliate called the shooting a "family dispute." No mention that the perp was a transgender lunatic.

You can't hate the media enough.

Operation PROTECT DONKEY-CHOMPERS: Leftwing Propaganda Media Goes Into Overdrive Claiming That AOC's Embarrassingly Incompetent Performance At Munich Was Akshually "Cogent" and Critics Are Just "Microscopically Dissecting" Her "Message"

If you took the day off yesterday, unlike me, you may have missed the story that Donkey-Chompers went to the Munich Security Conference because she's running for president and someone told her she had to show her "foreign policy chops" and so she read an issue of The Nation on the plane and figured she was all set.

She was not in fact all set. She embarrassed herself horribly -- more horribly than usual, if you can believe that -- and may have permanently damaged her ambition of becoming a Senator, let alone President of the United States.

In just a few minutes of Entitled Participation-Trophy Arrogant Stupidity, AOC shit the bed on multiple fronts:

* She asserted that the next president must impose a "wealth tax," and was embarrassed by a much better informed South American who told her to her face that Latin countries and repeatedly tried this and it had resulted in bankruptcy and immiseration every time. She also appeared entirely unaware that any new kind of federal tax can only happen if a constitutional amendment authorizes it -- the income tax was authorized by the 20th (?) amendment, a tax on wealth as opposed to income would require a separate amendment.

* She claimed that Marco Rubio was wrong that cowboys came from Spain. They did, because cowboys ride horses that only came over to America with the Spanish conquistadors. Some yesterday, Sean Davis I think, said, "How could someone with the last name Cortez not know that Cortez introduced horses to the Americas?"

* She claimed that Trump only thought he had the right to "kidnap" the dictator Maduro because Venezuela is "south of the equator" and you know those damn racist white Europeans think they're smarter and better than the Global South. Pro-Tip: Venezuela is not in fact south of the equator. I guess if you want to be charitable to a Make A Wish Foundation Pretend Presidential Candidate, you could say she was close. I mean, it is a few hundred miles from the Equator.

* Asked a lay-up, no-surprise, you-knew-this-was-coming question about the US defending Taiwan from a hypothetical Chinese invasion, this idiot literally said "um" and "you know" for a full minute before finally speaking in a (more or less) grammatical sentence, stating, essentially, Well we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen.

So you knew that the communist media was going to work hard to clean up for their communist Chubby Evita.

RCP's Tom Bevan called it yesterday:

If you think the legacy media carried water for Obama and Biden, just wait until AOC runs. Here's a taste from Bloomberg on her appearance in Munich:

Note that Bloomberg claims that her only critics were "Republican commentators" who "claimed" -- lied, that means -- that she was "unprepared."

Everyone with eyes and ears understands she was hideously unprepared. The analogy that occurs to everyone is that she looked like a third grader who was supposed to give a book report but didn't read the book so she just "ummed" for a minute before saying "it was a very, very, very, very good book, thank you."

Amazingly, Bloomberg claims that after she seemingly "flubbed" her answer, she came up with a "cogent" response, which was to say that we'll just have to hope and pray that China never invades Taiwan so no I won't answer your question about whether we'd defend Taiwan and I won't even sound authoritative in refusing to answer.

And it's not just "Republican commentators" who thought she looked unprepared. Gay Race Communism harpies Krystal Ball and Anna Kasparian blasted her as "not ready for prime time" and "embarrassing" and less than "mediocre."

As did a whole flock of leftwing Bird-Hand leftist Tik Tokkers.

The Morning Rant

The most aggressively anti-American group in our country is academia. The sordid and tedious litany of hatred of traditional American culture in those hallowed halls is well documented. The obsessive pushing of the Marxist dialectic in all subjects, no matter how ridiculously tangential it might be is also documented. Racial and ethnic division as a tool to remake America? It has a home in our universities. The blurring of simple biological sex into a malaise of insane and incomprehensible "genders" and lunatic behaviors is accepted as normal by a shocking number of supposedly well-educated academics, and of course their mush-brained young students.

But their fanatical desire to sell our intellectual wealth to the highest bidder, especially if it is an enemy of America might be the worst thing they do!

The Seven Sons of China are Stealing our Stuff...and the academic establishment is fine with it...

If you have been to a major top-shelf university or research institution’s graduation ceremony in the last two decades, one thing that dramatically stands out is how many People’s Republic of China (PRC) nationals are receiving not just undergraduate degrees, but master’s degrees and PhDs in the most highly skilled STEM fields from biostatistics to quantum physics. From aerospace engineering to industrial design—PRC nationals are overrepresented to an outlandish degree.

Don’t forget, these are the places basic research starts, where the future technology is developed. This is also a zero-sum game with a finite number of positions. For each PRC national who is getting a PhD in a STEM field, that is one American who is not. They either don’t go, or have to find a lower-tier university to go to.

And sadly, our own government subsidizes this fifth column in the midst of our technological research!

Read the whole thing...CDR Salamander is always worth a read, and this essay is particularly on point.

America First must be all-encompassing, and must enter every facet of our society to be effective. Obviously our universities are savagely anti-American, but the fact that they are also pro-China should be a bridge too far. That China is assiduously working to further its own interests is normal. That America has so far not done anything like what the Chinese are doing is a sad commentary on how deeply the academic attitude of "America Last" has penetrated into our entire research effort.

The fix is simple: reserve 90% of all publicly funded academics for American citizens. Will we lose some bright foreign students? Absolutely. But the net benefit will dwarf what we are currently losing to the rest of the world.

The Morning Report — 2/17/26

Good morning kids. Another day, another transexualism/Leftist-fueled mass slaughter to report.

Police identified the gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon as Robert Dorgan, a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants.

The 56-year-old father, who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink, used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night. 

“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Goncalves said. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito.”

. . . A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket police station earlier in the day said the gunman was her father, who “has mental health issues” and was “very sick.”

No it's all of us who are sick for not using the preferred pronouns and objecting to genital mutilation of children in the name of diversity or something. If you think because you live in a reliably red/conservative/normal town or state and think you are immune from this insanity, think again my friends.

The School District of New Richmond in Wisconsin secretly implemented a transgender bathroom policy, and on last Tuesday night during an explosive school board meeting, parents revolted en masse. 

New Richmond, a small northwestern city of only 10,000, is like many communities in the region — mostly white, conservative, and broadly working and middle-class. It sits in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, where I’m currently running for Congress in 2026 and where President Trump won by more than 20 points in 2024. . .

. . . On Tuesday, I saw New Richmond fathers and mothers refuse to surrender. New Richmond leaders, however, did. 

This is why all elections matter. From your local school board to your member of Congress. If we want schools that reflect our values and laws that protect our daughters, we must elect leaders willing to stand firm in their convictions, protect the vulnerable, and defend the truth.

Elsewhere, DC is evidently dealing with a massive sewage spill. No, Maxine Waters did not give a speech . . .

. . . the Potomac Interceptor release is poised to become the largest sewage spill in U.S. history.

Reportedly approaching one of the largest wastewater spills in US history, the Potomac Interceptor collapse is now entering a pivotal stretch as DC Water ramps up pumping capacity to 114 million gallons per day, while E. coli levels near the collapse site remain staggeringly high.

While we're on the topic of toxic effluent, I give you the recently discovered ramblings of Eric "Yum-Yum" Swalwell, a vile, compromised Chi-Com intel asset posing as an American politician.

Graphic erotic poetry written by Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell resurfaced this week, along with his past advocacy for pardoning two criminals convicted of killing law enforcement officers.

Swalwell, who announced his run for governor on late night TV, was born in Iowa and primarily raised in the San Francisco Bay Area with three younger brothers. He attended Campbell University in North Carolina starting in 1999, where he majored in government and politics and contributed to the student newspaper. One piece, a raunchy poem titled “Hungover From Burgundy,” depicts two lovers chasing each other, with blood coming into play as they kiss. The magazine described Swalwell at the time as an “active member of the Campbell University student body,” a writer for the Campbell Times and someone completing his third screenplay. (RELATED: Inside The Scenario Where Two Republicans Win California’s Jungle Primary)

“And there beauty was, formless and magnificent— A flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and She ran. Atop my hotel she stopped And I lept for cloth and tan, My anxious arm she bit— my scar is beautiful. While I screamed, She bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, Till blood rolled down our chins, For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting,” Swalwell wrote.

Given that this is Swalwell, I read the word "parting" as Farting".

While we're on the subject of noxious flatus, there is quite a contingent of individuals putatively Americans and on the American winter Olympic team who are opening most of their time running down their own country.

Arguably the most execrable is this Eileen Gu shit-whore . . . Who actually competes for the Red Chinese team!

Gu of course isn’t the first American athlete to defect to China, but she’s certainly the most prominent—and likely the most wealthy. According to Forbes, Gu is the fourth highest-paid female athlete in the world, in just a few years amassing a fortune worth some $23 million. Of that, only about $100,000 comes from skiing, and the rest from lucrative modeling contracts and major brand endorsements, many in China where Gu is a superstar.

This makes Gu an ideal ambassador and propagandist for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In that role, she has dutifully avoided answering even the most basic questions about her citizenship. To compete for China in the Olympics, Gu must have a Chinese passport, and since China doesn’t allow dual citizenship there has been speculation for years that she renounced her American citizenship.

Gu, who speaks Mandarin and spent time in China throughout her life, maintains a carefully cultivated public persona and refuses to engage any questions about her citizenship or her absentee American father, whose name isn’t public. She carefully redirects any politically tinged questions, adopts woke positions on most issues she does speak about, and reliably parrots CCP talking points about how wonderful and open China is.

Gu speaks Mandarin and has spent time in China her entire life, yet she lives, trains, and goes to school in America. She lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in San Francisco (Sea Cliff), attended the private prep school University High School (tuition $68,090), and has enjoyed all the benefits of a posh upbringing in the United States. Yet Gu competes for China on the world stage, and has enriched herself immensely from it.

This makes her a traitor, more or less. Or at the very least a defector—and a useful one. American news outlets are covering her like they did in the last one—hyping her up as if she’s an American athlete, not a Chinese one.

I haven't watched the Olympics in years, as I suspect neither have many of you for the same reasons that have led to the rapid decline of pro football, basketball, baseball and every other professional American sports league. All have degenerated into repositories of politicized, anti-American, amoral perversion. Oh well.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
