Oh, No! America's Sweetheart Ashley Biden Files For Divorce
Update: Runaway Texas Legislators to Return to Texas By the Weekend?

But she seemed so stable and non-drug-addicted and non-father-abused.

Former President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, has filed for divorce from her plastic surgeon husband, Dr. Howard Krein, after more than 13 years of marriage, court records show.

The 44-year-old ex-first daughter filed the papers in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Monday, The Post confirmed.

Biden's Instagram Story on the same day featured a photo of her walking through a park and flashing a thumbs-up, and was set to the song "Freedom" by Beyoncé, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, which first reported the divorce filings.

She also posted a quote that read: "New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won't look or sound like they did before."

...

Biden and Krein had tied the knot in Greenville, Delaware, back in June 2012 -- two years after being set up by her late older brother, Beau Biden.

He popped the question on a cliff in Big Sur, California, in late 2011 after getting "Pop's" permission, People reported at the time.

"This is the right guy," said Biden, who was vice president at the time. "And he's getting a helluva woman."

Joe Biden wanted to establish a political dynasty like the Kennedys.

He established no dynasty, and the Biden name will linger in infamy before it dies out.

But he did manage Kennedy-level corruption, drug-addiction, bed-hopping, and trashiness.

Howard Stern "Stunned" by News That Sirius Wants Done With Him

Before getting to that, some facts about Howard Stern's show. According to Maureen Callahan:

1. He has a staff of 95. What?

2. Sirius pays him $120 million per year to produce the show. I assume the lion's share of that goes into Stern's pocket.

3. The usual morning host works 250 days per year. Five days a week, fifty weeks per year. Stern, on the other hand, works 112 days per year. Three days a week, Monday through Wednesday, and for only 37 weeks per year. Fifteen weeks off per year.

In addition, the days of four or five or even six hour shows are long, long gone. Apparently he now only does three hour shows.

4. Also, he no longer does the news. Which is fine, considering his cranky underbridge-troll wokeness. Apparently he's now picking up the guitar at age 71, which is fine -- I'm all for late in life learning -- but then he talks incessantly about his guitar lessons and has his guitar teacher on the air to talk about his Guitar Journey.

Wow. A bitter old hippie pervert talking about having trouble nailing the chords to "Smoke on the Water." Sounds like appointment viewing.

Callahan also discusses this leaked video. In 2013, Stern held a staff meeting in an auditorium called "Revolution 2013." It's so gay. Even then he realized his ratings and relevance were on the slide, because he spends the first 17 minutes demanding that his staff "blast" emails to publicists to let them know that Howard Stern still exists. Then he turns to demanding that the staff book guests who don't want to be on the show, claiming, absurdly, that Jerry Seinfeld and David Lettermen owe him big-time for making them stars, and so they are obligated to appear on the show again.

I always thought that Stern's constant claims to have "innovated" everything in talk radio was a put-on. Sure, I figured that there was some truth to him feeling insufficiently acknowledged as a media star, but I thought that 90% of his constant complaining that he's never recognized for, say, the "innovation" of long interviews with guests was mostly exaggerated for comedic effect.

This video shows that no, even when he's not doing a show and just berating his staff, he really believes he's owed huge credit for (checks notes) launching the careers of Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman.

It also shows that his staff hates him, because who else would leak this except for an enemy?

I missed this Daily Mail article from last week. The reporters make it sound like Sirius is not engaging in aggressive bargaining with Stern just to reduce his demands for the new contract (the old one expires in Decemberbut really want to sever ties.

Howard Stern's 95-strong staff had only one goal in mind when they gathered for a 'team building' bash in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon.

A few cocktails coupled with games of ping pong and serious laughs ahead of the 20th season of the show on SiriusXM on September 2.

Their 71-year-old boss was a world away from Midtown's Spin bar, instead chilling at the $21 million Southampton pile he has spent most of his time since Covid.

There's a reason Howard Hughes was never a great radio personality. If you just sit in your house all day wearing a face-diaper because you're still afraid of covid -- what do you even have to talk about?

No seriously let me know because I'm way more homebound than I should be and I need a list of topics that non-hermits find interesting. Seriously what the hell do normal people talk about?

...

By 5.30pm, the group had split; some going bar hopping in Hell's Kitchen while others taking dinner at Japanese restaurant, Benihana.

That's when the lifechanging the bombshell dropped: a news alert claimed Stern was on the verge of walking away from SiriusXM altogether because the station couldn't come close to meeting his financial demands for another contract.

'The mood changed quickly. No one knew this was coming... and we couldn't get any answers,' one stunned insider said.

Repeated calls to executive producer Gary Dell'Abate went unanswered.

What staff didn't know was the bombshell came as a shock to Stern himself, who received it via a Google Alert as he finished dinner after a walk on the beach.

His famous friends were quick to call, with Stern allegedly avoiding calls from Ali Wentworth [George Stephanopolous's wife] and Jimmy Fallon. He did, however, pick up the phone when longtime friend Jimmy Kimmel rang.

'First I'm hearing of it,' was all a reportedly stunned Stern could manage.

Multiple sources confirmed Stern decided to make an 'emergency show' on Wednesday morning to quell concerns he was finished.

But apparently that show was just an interview with Lars from Metallica. All Stern said about his show was that he would be back from his nth hiatus on September 2nd.

He claims he's ready to prove to the world he's still got it. And by "it" he means a spastic colon.

A source exclusively tells the Daily Mail that a 'pumped up' Stern is ready to 'prove people wrong again' and is confident he is still 'the best' at his craft as he considers a future outside of SiriusXM.

'He is in a bring-it-on mind frame right now. Howard likes what he likes and though he could be bitter on how things are going, it isn't anything new to him', the insider said.

'He also isn't blaming things on his age; the world has changed. He has changed himself. If he didn't, he would have been gone a long time ago.

'It is true, he doesn't like the uptick of podcasts, where everyone can be on the radio, he just thinks he is the best and there is a lot to learn from him rather than throwing him away.'

LOL. Sad! BTW, Stern is incredibly egotistical while also having an eggshell-fragile ego -- a bad combination, which you see a lot -- and has for years been slagging off podcasters for being more relevant than he is.

Now he's whining that the podcasters he attacks should "learn from him rather than throwing him away."

For now, Stern has plans to potentially join huge streamers HBO or Netflix - in a bid to bring his career to an end 'on his own terms.'

The source continued: 'All this unknown is music to Howard's ears. He thrives in this element of the unknown.'

Obviously. The 71-year-old who's too afraid to come out of his basement and complains that his Southampton neighbors don't wear face-nappies when they're at the beach is very thrilled by chaos and the unknown. He certainly sees his impending firing and discarding as an opportunity.

Absolutely I believe this.

'He needs to deal with a personal bad guy in the situation. In the past it was NBC, just watch his movie.

'Then it was Simon Cowell, look at the fallout of AGT and now the honeymoon might be over with Sirius after almost 20 years, but he still wants to figure something out to stay, especially for his team that would mostly be affected.

So they mean that Howard Stern can't really flourish without an Enemy he can direct all of his stinky spleen at. That's been true before, but... No one cares any more. No one is going to pay money to hear Stern complain that his bosses at Sirius gave Andy F***ing Cohen more attention and respect than they gave him.

'And now if the fallout continues with Sirius, he has made roads elsewhere to potentially do something with HBO or Netflix. It is not all bad if this goes bad. His story isn't done.

'Because he wants it to all end on his own terms. He believes he deserves that for all that he has done in the medium.'

I suppose it's possible they offer him some kind of a deal to do ten one-hour shows or something, like they gave Letterman.

But he's a very damaged brand with a limited audience and falling ratings. How much money does Stern think he'll be able to command at this point? What kind of audience does he think he still has?

DC Judge, Feeling the Heat and Anticipating the Federal Takeover, Refuses to Simply Release the Carjackers Who Attacked the Heroic DOGE Investigator "BigBalls"
Updated

The judge can hear the footsteps behind him.

A Washington, D.C., judge has ordered the two teens charged in the attack on a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer to remain in the city's juvenile detention center, rejecting requests for less restrictive detention.

The boy and girl, each 15, were charged in the Aug. 3 attack on Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old, as they were allegedly trying to carjack a vehicle in Northwest D.C. The attack was followed by President Trump announcing that he plans to take over the D.C. police and deploy the National Guard.

...

U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro said Monday that the city protects violent youths from consequences.

"They go to family court, and they get to do yoga and arts and crafts," Pirro said. "Enough. It changes today."

The media and Democrats -- pardon the redundancy -- are taking their typical approach to the horrors they have created: Denying those horrors exist at all.

You're just imagining things again, Racists.

Kurt Schlichter
@KurtSchlichter

I'm sitting here stunned -- and I'm the most cynical guy in the universe -- that the Democrats have decided to dig in on the position that it is bad for Trump to stop crime in Washington DC because stopping crime as fascism and Washington DC doesn't have a crime problem anyway.

It's like the Democrats convened a council of renowned idiots to come up with the stupidest possible position, the one that's going to alienate the most normal people, and then the Democrats dig to defend it.

Update: Another murder.

Bonchie
@bonchieredstate

Libs organized a protest against Trump's D.C. crime crackdown, and then someone was murdered two blocks away.

Wild.

Mostly Peaceful Update: The Washington Post reports a native saying that DC is a "safe city," though it does have some crime.

This person demands his name be withheld because of fears about his "personal safety" from the violent feral youth gangs of this safe city.

Wait what?

Update: A Democrat strategist says, "who cares if an incel got his face stomped in by some high-spirited youths?"

In one case, the vile media propagandists point to carjackings falling in 2024 as proof of improvement.

The problem is: They fell in 2024 after an absolute all-time high in 2023, and they are still far, far above the levels before the left decided that a drug-dealer's heart attack required nothing short of making Crime Legal for Black People.

Jacki Kotkiewicz
@jackikotkiewicz

Carjackings have skyrocketed in D.C.:

2018: 148
2023: 957

That's a 547% increase.

But sure, let's entertain the idea 2023 was an outlier and compare to 2024, which Democrats love to point to:

497 carjackings in 2024 is still TRIPLE the number seen in 2018.

The Democrats and Media -- again I redundize myself -- cite the DC Metropolitan Police's own numbers to claim that crime has declined.

Except for murder, which is at a historic high. But is murder really a violent crime? I mean, it ends one person's suffering. Isn't that sort of a mercy killing?

But the DC MPD has been caught repeatedly faking their crime stats. For example, a home invasion will be categorized for their public reports as a simple trespass.

This is a lie, of course. The reason they do this is so they can classify most of their home invasions as "trespasses" and most of their carjackings as thefts. They keep downgrading the seriousness of their crimes so that in a few key areas they can "the numbers are down."

But they've actually been caught faking the stats:

CNN's fake fact checker and dweeby Regime propagandist Daniel Dale roused himself to "fact check" the proposition that crime is high in DC. He claims it's not, citing the cooked statistics of the MPD.

Greg Price
@greg_price11

Aug 11

In order to claim that crime in DC is "down," you have to ignore a) The former police commissioner who was suspended for fudging crime stats b) most people never get charged and are released onto the streets c) a lot of crime never gets reported d) the murder rate has doubled in the last decade and e) no one in their right mind would say it's safe to walk in southwest or anacostia at 11 pm.

They just can't stop lying. As you might know, DC is facing a lot of crime by underaged thugs. The thugs who beat up Big Balls and tried to carjack a woman's car were all 12-15, for example.

But DC has made it almost impossible to prosecute these Youths.

When MSNBC did their "fact" check, they "forgot" to include the juvenile offenders immunized from prosecution in their figures, as if a carjacking perpetrated by six violent young psychopaths doesn't "count" as crime.

Trump: JB Pritzker Is So Fat and Gross and Incompetent I May Take Over Chicago Too

I don't know if he can do this. It does put some pressure on the obese incompetent Pritzker to do something about runaway crime in Chicago (and throughout the blue areas of the state).

President Donald Trump says Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is incompetent, that he may send the National Guard into Chicago and will work to reverse the end of cash bail.

In announcing federal law enforcement actions in Washington D.C. on Monday, Trump said he may send the National Guard to keep the peace in places with heavy crime.

"And if we need to, we're going to do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster," Trump said. "We have a mayor there who's totally incompetent. He's an incompetent man. And we have an incompetent governor. That Pritzker's an incompetent. His family threw him out of the business, and he ran for governor."

Trump even went as far as adding to speculation that Pritzker is running for president in 2028.

"And now I understand he wants to be president, but I noticed he lost a little weight, so maybe he has a chance," Trump said. "You know, you never know what happens. But Pritzker is a gross, incompetent guy, thrown out of the family business."

Later in the day Monday, Pritzker said Trump has no right or legal ability to send troops into the city of Chicago.

"As to everything else that he had to say this morning, I guess I should say thank you for the compliment," Pritzker said at an unrelated event.

Pritzker said Trump is a cheater, a convicted felon and has declared bankruptcy several times. As to his political future, Pritzker said the only decisions he's made is to run for a third term as governor.

Trump also said he's got more he is taking aim at across the country concerning public safety, including ending no-cash bail.

"That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians started and bad leadership started it. But that was the one thing that's central. No cash bail," Trump said. "Somebody murders somebody and they're out on no cash bail before the day is out. We're going to end that in Chicago. We're going to change the statute."

Illinois ended cash bail statewide in 2023, being the first state to do so.

The Network for Pretrial Justice said in a statement Monday that Trump's policies hurt poor people and people of color, and that dangerous people are not flooding the streets. They argue violent crime has decreased since the start of no-cash bail.

Trump wants to end the post-George-Floyd practice of letting out psychotic savages on no bail (or almost no bail), nationally.

President Trump pledged Monday to push federal legislation banning no-cash-bail policies nationwide, calling them a "disaster" that fuels crime. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said she will author the bill, vowing to dismantle New York's bail reform laws and restore "law and order that puts America first."

Key Details:

Speaking at a White House press conference where he also announced temporary federal control of Washington, D.C.'s police department, Trump blasted no-cash-bail policies in New York, Chicago, and other Democrat-led cities. "Somebody murders somebody and they're out on no cash bail before the day is out," he said.

Stefanik told the New York Post she would lead the legislative push to end Gov. Kathy Hochul's bail reform, calling it a "radical, dangerous and insane" policy that favors "criminals and illegals" over law-abiding citizens.

DC U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro backed Trump's proposal but urged further changes to local laws, criticizing the city's Youth Rehabilitation Act after a 19-year-old convicted of a bus shooting received probation instead of prison time.

I don't think Republicans will go along with a federalization of state bail laws, even if they agree that blue states should change their laws. Republicans have moved closer to Trump's blending of strong presidential and strong federal rule with a conservative agenda, but I'm pretty sure they will absolutely balk at federalizing bail.

Still, it's not bad to use the bully pulpit to make demands and criticize a policy that is literally killing people. (And raping people. And pushing people in front of speeding subways.)

Meanwhile, the woke racist incompetent geek Brandon Johnston has Chicago on the edge of bankruptcy.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson sounded the alarm Tuesday about Chicago's finances.

"We have reached a point of no return," Mayor Johnson said Tuesday. "The systems that people rely upon -- education, health care, housing, our transportation -- they are woefully underfunded, and everyone knows that. Everyone knows what, you know, my commitment is to progressive revenue. I can't do this by myself."

LOL. Like this nasty Black KKK twerp is doing anything constructive.

...

Johnson said the state needs new progressive revenue options, but he did not name any specific plans.

The city of Chicago has a massive $1.1 billion budget gap to fill for 2026. Mayor Johnson promising has promised not to once again pitch a property tax hike -- which the City Council unanimously rejected for 2025 -- but said last week he's looking at creative ways to raise tax dollars.

The menu on that table appears to target Chicago's ultra-rich. Johnson said he is looking for ways to extract more tax dollars from the 127,000 millionaires who now call Chicago home, as well as the 25 billionaires residing inside the city limits.

Inflation Comes In Lower Than "Experts Expected" as Food Inflation Comes at 0.0% But Media Celebrates the Small Increase

Politico:

Inflation ticks higher as Trump's tariffs kick in

"Bad prediction": The president derided economists' forecasts for higher inflation.

Consumer prices edged higher in July as President Donald Trump's tariffs began to push up the cost of everyday household goods.

The consumer price index climbed at an annual rate of 2.7 percent, slightly lower than expected, thanks to sharp declines in gasoline and energy prices, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. But so-called core inflation -- which excludes volatile food and energy costs -- rose above 3 percent for the first time in six months as more businesses began to pass along the cost of the administration's tariffs to American consumers.

With the administration touting the nearly $130 billion collected from new import levies -- and with new, heavy-duty taxes on goods from dozens of trading partners now in effect -- there is a broad expectation that more companies will saddle consumers with the additional costs in the coming months.

That could complicate the Federal Reserve's path to lowering interest rates as the central bank also reckons with growing signs of trouble in the labor market. While investors widely assume that policymakers will lower rates at their September meeting, the Fed's ability to keep cutting will depend on tariff-related price increases remaining limited.

Trump derided predictions by economists of higher inflation, and the White House said the CPI report was a sign that his program is working.

"The Panicans continue to be proven wrong by the data -- President Trump's tariffs are raking in billions of dollars, small business optimism is at a five-month high, and real wages are rising," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

Still, most economists anticipate the president's trade agenda will continue to push up consumer prices.

Well, if that's what the experts are saying, I imagine that's exactly what will happen. They've never been wrong before.

"We expect [core inflation] will rise further to a peak of 3.8 percent by the end of the year as tariffs bleed through more fully to consumer prices," said Michael Pearce, deputy chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. "The upside risks to inflation will keep the majority of the Federal Open Market Committee preferring to sit on the sidelines for a few more months."

Goldman Sachs economists estimate that consumers absorbed just 22 percent of tariff costs through June, while businesses ate up nearly two-thirds of the levies. But they expect the consumer share to soar to 67 percent by October -- based on how previous import duties affected prices -- and that domestic producers will also raise prices.

JustTheNews reports the story differently from the Angry Democrats of Politico. They say that inflation did not, in fact, "edge higher."

They say it "remained steady."

I think the difference is that JusttheNews is reporting that the inflation rate did not increase or decline this month, while Politico is taking the strange position that if inflation rises at all, even if it's at the same rate as the prior month, it's "edging higher."

Well, we always have inflation -- except in strange and dangerous periods where we have deflation -- so inflation is almost always "edging higher." It's not news to say "The thing that always happens has happened again."

Unless you're partisan political operatives.

For months, the media and the Democrats -- but I repeat myself, again -- have been blowing off the falling inflation rate insisting that Trump had done nothing to reduce food prices, specifically.

But my eggs, which used to cost $7.50 a dozen, are down to $5.30 per dozen. This proves that Trump has done nothing to lower the price of eggs!

Food prices come in at 0.0% -- flat as Dylan Mulvaney -- and now they're focusing on core inflation.

In fairness, though, CNN did mention the falling fuel prices and flat food prices.

Kash Patel Reveals Democrat Whistleblower Who Testifies That Adam Schiff Criminally Leaked Classified Information to Smear Trump

I have it on good authority that -- how did it go? -- no one is above the law.

FBI Director Kash Patel declassified Democrat whistleblower testimony that he says shows Democrat Adam Schiff facilitated the leaking of classified info to hurt President Donald Trump. It was all part of the Russian Collusion hoax to derail Trump's first term in office.

At JustTheNews, from John Solomon.

Although he sat for four different interviews and gave first-hand eyewitness testimony that Schiff directed Democrat staffers on the House Intelligence Committee to illegally leak classified information, Biden's Justice Department, of course, did nothing.

A career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then-Rep. Adam Schiff had approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to bombshell FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has turned over to Congress.

The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer -- a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a California senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes -- considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and "treasonous," but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.

No publicly-disclosed opinion from the Attorney General or the Solicitor General can be found making that determination as a matter of law.

But officials told Just the News that DOJ officials showed little interest in pursuing Schiff when the allegations were brought to them years ago, citing the very same excuse the lawmaker had offered.

In his most recent interview with the bureau in 2023, the whistleblower, whose name is redacted, told agents from the FBI's St. Louis office that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information.

"When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF," the interview report said. "In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP."

The whistleblower told investigators that he "stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured that they would not be caught leaking classified information," the 2023 interview report stated.

The staffer made similar claims to agents in the FBI's Washington field office as early as 2017, shortly after Trump took office for his first term.

So obviously the FBI covered it up, too, under James Comey's direction. (Or Chris Wray's -- not sure when the interview happened.)

...

Schiff did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.

The alleged leaks fall outside the statute of limitations for prosecution on most legal theories, but the revelations nevertheless come at a sensitive time for Schiff, who recently was referred to the Justice Department for possible prosecution for potential mortgage fraud, based on a story first written by Just the News.

Officials also said some of the DOJ officials who declined to prosecute a rash of classified leaks during the Russiagate affair remain employed in positions of power, a matter that may be of interest to lawmakers in Congress.

"For years, certain officials used their positions to selectively leak classified information to shape political narratives," Patel told Just the News on Monday. "It was all done with one purpose: to weaponize intelligence and law enforcement for political gain.

"Those abuses eroded public trust in our institutions," he added. "The FBI will now lead the charge, with our partners at DOJ, and Congress will have the chance to uncover how political power may have been weaponized and to restore accountability," he said.

The Morning Report — 8/12/25

Good morning kids. Along with the holy hell the Leftists are raising over Gerrymandering — that is Texas Governor Greg Abbott's using the long abused process by Democrats to wrest control of congressional districts for the sole purpose of disenfranchising Republican voters and thereby helping cement a Democrat stranglehold on the legislative process in DC, and in so doing, protect the overwhelming majority of Texans from becoming Democrat hostages.

And with the illegal alien invasion such as it is protecting Texas' crucial Electoral College votes from being hijacked and ultimately America itself from being subsumed into a Socialist/Democrat third world shithole

The big story that is more than tangentially related to the aforementioned is the reaction to President Trump calling out the National Guard to help the under equipped and in reality Democrat-Leftist hamstrung Washington DC police force and DA's office, in getting criminals and scum the hell off the streets.

But let's take a moment and step back to put things in proper perspective. Why is Washington DC and in general virtually all of America's major metropolitan areas crime-ridden hellscapes? To answer that question, first look at who and what has controlled America's cities for decades? The answer of course is the Democrat Party. Who commits the overwhelming majority of crimes in these cities? That would be blacks, Latinos and other non-whites. And these demographic groups have been attached to the hip with the Democrat Party for generations.

Now step back again and try to figure out why it should be that blacks continue to commit the overwhelming majority of crimes. The answer, or at least where to look for the answer is in the trajectory of the black family post World War 2 and the Civil Rights era. As the final stakes were driven into the heart of Jim Crow, the Democrats saw a very large chunk of the voting base, American blacks, moving away from them as they climbed the socio-economic ladder, and so as that happened, the Democrat drive to re-enslave black America via big government dependency started the destruction of the black family, which accelerated with the culture that rejects integration and "acting white" as being a race-traitor and inauthentic. Western values and ethics of morality, hard work, education and responsibility are rejected and an entire cultural movement that reinforces the toxic notion of black victimhood gives them the green light to do anything to survive in "a white man's world."

Look at DEI, the 1619 Project, the anti-racism JIVE Kampf of Ibram X Krement et al, the constant drumbeat of Institutional White Supremacy as all pervasive and inescapable. No wonder we had the Democrat/Leftist led movement to Open up the prisons, decriminalize crime and defund the Police. Forget for a moment that Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Freddie Gray. George Floyd and all the rest of them were engaging in crime when they encountered their fates at the hands of citizens and/or the police. No, for the Democrats, better they should be portrayed as victims of White supremacy. Lest we forget the summer of 2020 when cities were burned to the ground and that evil hideous beast the then mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake demanded that the rioters must have "The Space to Destroy."

We have given the Democrat Left the time and the space to destroy both the Black Family and much of this nation as it was founded.

So, President Trump can call out the National Guard to try and restore order in DC, but given all I have stated, to me it's virtually akin to pissing in the wind.

And yes, Israel must and should destroy Hamas, but at the end of the day the root cause of Hamas' existence will still remain: Islam.

So, call out the National Guard, but until Democrat/Leftism is utterly and completely eradicated America's cities, American Blacks and all of America as founded and as we want it to be, will continue to face mortal peril that calling out the Guard will not solve.

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!

I've never seen lesbians so fearful of free dildos:

In an Emerson poll of California Democrats, Kamala Harris placed third in preference for party presidential nominee.

Emerson College's August 4–5, 2025 poll found Newsom leading with 23%, Buttigieg at 17%, Harris at 11%, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 9% among likely Democrat primary voters.

The survey sampled 1,000 active registered voters statewide, with a Democrat primary subset of 444 likely voters and a +/- 4.6 percentage point credibility interval.

Breitbart News has reported that some Senate Democrats were wary of Harris making another White House run, while her 2024 running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has left the door open to a future campaign.

California is, of course, this Canadian Jamaican's "home" state.

Big LOL on Tienanmen Tim running for president.

Trump says that the Pelosis' insane stock market wizardry is on-its-face proof of "INSIDER TRADING."

Of course it is. But does anyone have the courage to prosecute?

President Donald Trump on Saturday accused Nancy Pelosi and her husband of insider trading, saying their 2024 market gains "beat every hedge fund" and could only be explained by "INSIDE INFORMATION."

Key Details:

On Saturday, Trump's post on Truth Social mocked Pelosi and her husband as "very average minds" who somehow outperformed "all of the super geniuses on Wall Street" last year. He questioned whether anyone was investigating the matter.

In a May interview on The Alex Marlow Show, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) accused Pelosi of making "hundreds of millions of dollars" off insider knowledge acquired as a member of Congress. Hawley reintroduced his Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, which would bar members of Congress and their families from trading or holding stocks.

Hawley pointed out Pelosi's salary has never exceeded roughly $200,000, yet she and her husband reportedly beat nearly every hedge fund's returns in 2024. He suggested her wealth accumulation "cannot be done legally" and noted past trades--such as Paul Pelosi's purchase of up to $5 million in semiconductor stock ahead of a Senate subsidy vote--as prime examples of why the bill is needed.

Texas AG Ken Paxton filed a motion with Texas' Supreme Court to fire the ringleaders of the runaway Texas legislators.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Friday asking the state's Supreme Court to declare 13 Democrat-held seats vacant after lawmakers fled the state to block legislative business. Paxton accused the "runaway" members of abandoning their constitutional duties and violating their oath of office.

And a judge has put a restraining order on Robert Francis O'Rourke -- who calls himself "Beto" for political purposes -- to stop him from illegally fundraising and paying bribe money to the runaway Democrats.

A Texas judge ruled Friday against Beto O'Rourke and his nonprofit in a case brought by state Attorney General Ken Paxton, who accused them of illegally raising funds to support Democratic lawmakers fleeing the state to block GOP redistricting legislation.

Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey handed down a temporary restraining order Friday evening against O'Rourke, a former congressman and Democratic presidential candidate, and his group, Powered by People, over alleged "unlawful fundraising practices" tied to efforts to support Texas Democrats who fled the state -- including funding air travel, lodging, logistics and daily fines.

"Defendants have and will continue to engage in unlawful fundraising practices and utilization of political funds in a manner that either directly violates or causes Texas Democratic Legislators to violate [the law]," Fahey wrote in her Friday evening ruling. "Consumer have and continue to suffer irreparable harm through these unlawful acts because they are making political contributions that are being used to fund personal expenses and violate state law."

Republican ad directors, clip this: Robert Francis O'Rourke also vows that the next time Democrats take power, they will grant amnesty to every single illegal alien, which includes all the rapists, kidnappers, child predators, and killers.

Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke told supporters in Fort Worth on Saturday that Democrats cannot afford to squander another chance at controlling the federal government. Speaking at a rally titled "The People vs. The Power Grab," O'Rourke recalled how Democrats campaigned on immigration reform only to abandon the pledge after taking full control in both 2008 and 2020.

"You know, Democrats -- present company excluded -- have talked an awful good game on immigration for as long as I have been listening," O'Rourke said. "You know, if you just keep voting for us, once we get in power, comprehensive immigration reform. Well, we won power, in 2008 -- the White House, the House, and the Senate. We won power in 2020 -- the White House, the House, and the Senate. The American people were watching, because we had promised them what we would do with that power, and we absolutely failed to live up to the expectation that we set."

He then vowed that if Democrats take power again, "we're going to drive that car like we stole it, we're going to legalize every Dreamer, every Dreamer's parents, every hard-working American doing back breaking work, that makes this country so Goddamn great in the first place -- even greater as U.S. citizens."

Vance: If you want to govern like Trump, you have to redistrict like Democrats.

Vice President JD Vance blasted Democrats Sunday for "rigging" the census by counting illegal immigrants to pad blue-state House seats. He urged Republicans to fight back with Trump-led redistricting and a census overhaul.

Key Details:

Vance told Sunday Morning Futures that Democrats benefit from counting illegal immigrants in congressional apportionment, giving states like California more House seats than they should have.
He praised President Donald Trump's push for a new census excluding illegal immigrants, saying Republicans need "backbone" to redraw maps in red states as aggressively as Democrats do in blue states.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a court to vacate the seats of Texas Democrats who fled to New York and Illinois to block GOP redistricting, a move backed by groups tied to Beto O'Rourke and George Soros.

Kash Patel: We're On Track to Achieve the Lowest National Murder Rate in Modern History

Elections have consequences and sometimes those consequences are that fewer people die and more people live.

In other words: Authoritarianism.

FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday stated that the U.S. was on track to reach its lowest murder rate in modern American history as the president moved to deploy the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and to assume control of the city police.

"And the murder rates are plummeting. We are now able to report that the murder rate is on track to be the lowest in US history, in modern reported US history, thanks to this team behind me and President Trump's priorities," Patel stated at a press conference.

"This year alone, under President Trump's administration, we've had over 4,000 child victims identified and found that's a 33% increase from the same time period last year, 33% increase," he added.

That last one looks like an increase in child victimization but of course it's an increase in detection of such crimes.

"We've had a seizure of 1500 kilograms of fentanyl up to this date, that is a 25% increase since the same time period last year. And just to put it in perspective, 1500 kilograms of fentanyl is enough to kill 115 million Americans."

"Cops are getting after it. The FBI has arrested 19,000 people this year alone, thanks to President Trump's administration. That's double than where we were this time last year," Patel went on. "And we have also arrested 1,600 people who have committed violent acts against children. 270 of them are human traffickers of children.

More:

In the same 200-day period, agents arrested more than 1,600 people for violent crimes against children, including 270 human trafficking arrests, and located over 4,000 child victims.

The bureau also made 1,000 arrests tied to foreign terrorist organizations and seized 6,300 kilos of methamphetamine, which Patel called "lives saved."

Trump is imagining a Washington DC with a far lower crime rate than its residents have become accustomed to. Many of those residents will oppose him for it. It's like they are protective of their crime rate, now that Trump is threatening it.

Mangy Foreign Rat Jon Oliver: Nuts to Jay Leno, Comedy Is All About Political Partisanship

He's so repulsive.

John Oliver doesn't care about Jay Leno's opinions.

The "Last Week Tonight" host, 48, responded to Leno, 75, recently criticizing late-night TV hosts for alienating half their audience with one-sided political jabs.

"I'm going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno," Oliver told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Tuesday.

Jay Leno was one of the most successful comedians in world history. He never even touched his Tonight Show salary, living entirely on his comedy show income, which he continued doing well past the Tonight Show gig.

He made the brilliant calculation to never do a comedy show for broadcast, figuring, correctly, that his act was worth tens of millions of dollars over a lifetime, whereas releasing a DVD would net him maybe $100,000.

He made so much money from his road gigs that it was nothing to him to give up $10 million per year of his NBC salary to keep his entire staff on without any firings or salary reductions.

I'm a mid-tier fan of Leno's comedy. I never had any interest in his Tonight Show stuff, but as an actual working comedian, there are few in history who have made the fortune he has just standing on stage, one man one mic, telling jokes he wrote.

How snotty and overly fond of oneself do you have to be to proclaim that Jay Leno has nothing of value to say about comedy?

The British comedian also defended sometimes upsetting viewers with jokes on his show.

He literally never insulted viewers. He's a coward who only placates and flatters his leftwing audience.

He insults non-viewers.

...

"I guess I don't think it's a question of what you should do because I don't think comedy is prescriptive in that way," he added. "It's just what people want. I think our show clearly comes from a point of view, but most of those long stories we do are not party political. They're about systemic issues."

"Systemic issues" like racism and transphobia. Totally not "party political."

In addition, 90% of his "stories" end in an explicit activist call to action. John Oliver's gimmick was to rouse the audience to join in some stupid hastag or internet trend to push certain political outcomes.

But not "party political" at all!

Oliver, who has hosted "Last Week Tonight" since 2014, pointed out that he doesn't only discuss divisive political issues on the HBO show.

The British comedian defended sometimes upsetting viewers with jokes on his show.

"Our last few shows were about gang databases, AI slop, juvenile justice, med spas, air traffic control," he said. "I'm not saying that these don't have a point of view in them. Of course they do. But I hope a lot of them actually reach across people's political persuasions."

These are his examples of stories he does that might upset liberals? He knocks air traffic controllers (almost certainly in a story attacking Trump for defunding the FAA or some nonsense) and he wants us to believe his braindead liberal clapping seals are really "upset" by jokes about air traffic controllers?

Hey, if you really want to be edgy and rile up your viewers, tell jokes about airplane food. Have you tasted it?! It's not very good at all!

Zing! Got 'em!

"You want people to at least be able to agree on the problem," Oliver added, "even if you disagree on what the solution to it is."

LOL. We just want people to agree that liberal panic issues are real stories -- global warming, "white supremacy," Israel's "genocide," Trump's "authoritarianism," six year olds unable to receive "gender affirming care" -- while agreeing that things conservatives care about like uncontrolled immigration and unpunished violent crime are "fake issues" that Republicans make up to divide us and push their racist agenda.

...

Oliver said after Colbert's show was axed that the decision was "terrible news for the world of comedy."

What a surprising opinion that is sure to upset many of John Oliver's viewers.

I wanted to update the Howard Stern story: Many people are reporting he's been "cancelled." He hasn't been. There is merely reported to be talk that Sirius doesn't want to pay him any longer, and Stern is meanwhile claiming he may retire.

I now realize that all of this talk is happening around a contract renegotiation. As a longtime fan of James Bond since the Roger Moore years (wait, how can I possibly be 28 years old?!), I remember well the dance that Roger Moore and Cubby Broccoli would do every couple of years. Moore would say "I'm thinking of turning in my Walther PPK" and Cubby Broccoli would say he's ready to go in a new direction and leak to the media that he had screentested actors to replace Bond. (Like... American actor James Brolin?! In the scene, he and First Tier Bond Girl Maude Adams play out a key scene from From Russia With Love. Adams would impress them so much that they'd just cast her, for the second time, as a Bond girl, this time in Octopussy.)

And then they'd come to terms. Broccoli would give Moore a raise and he would sign on to do another Bond film. (And he agreed to do one more Bond film too many.)

I just wanted to point this out because people are psyched that Starn is being cancelled. He may be. But Sirius might just be saying they don't want to sign him to get Stern to reduce his demands.

And they may be the ones who leaked his current (alleged) ratings of 125,000, down from 20 million.

I do think he might well end up being cancelled because there just may be no number that the perverted narcissist Howard Stern is prepared to swallow his pride and accept, which Sirius could also agree to.

But he might not be. Unfortunately.

Other news going around that is, sadly, Fake News is the claim that The View has been cancelled.

Clickbaiters are claiming that Rosie O'Donnell "confirmed" that the View had been canceled.

Well:

1, Rosie O'Donnell was kicked off the show long ago

2, Rosie O'Donnell is an idiot who has a general expertise in being wrong about everything

3, Rosie O'Donnell is mentally ill and hysterical

4, Rosie O'Donnell routinely makes hysterical claims WITHOUT EVIDENCE to feed her obsessive hatred of Trump

She doesn't know anything. I think this idiot was taking The View's hiatus -- a summer break from taping their idiot carny show -- as a "cancellation."

Don't fall for the clickbait. This show may be cancelled down the line, but Rosie O'Donnell's claim is premature and simply more conniptions from a hateful, hysterical madwoman.

Trump Announces Peace Deal Between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ending 35 Year War

He wants the Nobel Prize.

He deserves it, but won't get it. To get the Nobel Peace Prize, you need to accomplish absolutely nothing in bringing about Peace, like America's first gay president Barack Obama did.

President Donald Trump on Friday announced a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, ending decades of conflict and creating a new trade corridor called the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity."

Key Details:

Trump hosted Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for the signing in the Oval Office, later announcing the agreement in the State Dining Room.

The pact commits both countries to permanently end fighting, normalize relations, and respect sovereignty, while granting Azerbaijan full access to Nakhichevan -- a landlocked exclave of Azerbaijan separated from the rest of the country by Armenia -- via a U.S.-partnered transit route that could last up to 99 years.

U.S. companies are expected to invest heavily in the region, with Trump also announcing new bilateral agreements on trade, energy, and technology -- including artificial intelligence.

...

Trump drew parallels to his earlier success using trade leverage to secure peace deals, such as the agreement he brokered between Thailand and Cambodia.

Both leaders praised Trump for bringing the 35-year conflict to an end. Aliyev called it "a day which will be remembered by the people of Azerbaijan with a feeling of pride and gratitude to President Trump," while Pashinyan described it as "a significant milestone" in bilateral relations, crediting Trump's "personal engagement and resolute commitment to peace in our region."

Harmeet Dillon: Officials Who Weaponized the Government Against Political Enemies May Face Indictments

This seems like a broadening of the scope of the criminal investigation. She's not just talking about Brennan, she's talking about going after the officials who weaponized the DOJ to prosecute MAGA supporters.

A top Justice Department lawyer is warning that federal agents and intelligence officers who weaponized their government powers for political purposes could face criminal charges under civil rights laws created to fight injustices during the Jim Crow era more than a half-century ago.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon cautioned in an interview with Just the News that she could not discuss any specific investigations or potential suspect.

But she said recent reports that one or more grand juries were probing the weaponization of government powers against President Trump and his associates or followers might have given good reason for current and former FBI and CIA officials to hire lawyers.

"This, again, goes back to those Reconstruction Era statutes that sought to remedy the vestiges of racism, and we had some terrible incidents in our country's history of law enforcement officials conspiring to deprive African Americans of their civil rights," she said in a wide-ranging interview with the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. "And that is where some of these laws stem from."

"But they're broader than that, and so it can be a crime for government officials, either together or in conspiring with non-government officials, to violate people's civil rights," she explained. "That's also a civil violation. I've actually sued over that in California for pro-life activists. And you know, we have long-standing cases involving these issues, and so I think, you know, government officials may think, because nobody ever bothers to enforce these statutes, that they're immune, and they can do whatever they want."

"Not so, and I think that's why you're seeing some people tongue-in-cheek saying that in DC, every lawyer is being retained .... as these investigations have begun to hit the newswires," she added.

...

The laws were seldom successfully used against police officers during the 1960's, but have been more commonly used against police misconduct over the last three decades, starting most notably with the infamous 1993 Rodney King case where four LAPD officers involved were captured on videotape beating King.

Remember when the DOJ made very controversial cash-money payments to Hillary Clinton's Inside Operators Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, allegedly for "invasion of privacy"?

Would it surprise you to learn that the man who authorized this $2 million in payments to Hillary's operatives is a "left-wing activist"?

EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Official Who Approved $2 Million Payout To Disgraced Russia Hoaxers Identified As Left-Wing Activist Brian Netter

Netter now works for a group chaired by Marc Elias, who helped run the Russia collusion hoax.

The Department of Justice official who signed off on $2 million in taxpayer-funded payments to disgraced Russia collusion hoax participants left the Department of Justice to help lead the "legal resistance" to President Donald Trump and other duly-elected Republicans, new records reviewed exclusively by The Federalist reveal.

FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, sued the Department of Justice over the release of messages detailing their role in pushing the Clinton campaign's Russia collusion hoax. They said the release of the messages that were written using government resources violated their privacy. The Biden administration rewarded the duo with lucrative payouts. Strozk received $1.2 million in taxpayer funds while Page received an $800,000 settlement.

"[W]e have identified Brian Netter, Deputy Assistant Attorney General as the individual that approved the settlement agreements," a DOJ official told the Center to Advance Security in America, which had filed a Freedom of Information Act request in 2024, when the payouts were publicly announced. Netter was the deputy assistant attorney general for the Federal Programs Branch during the term of President Joe Biden.

Netter currently serves as the legal director at Democracy Forward, a Democrat Party-affiliated group launched in 2017 to fight President Trump with lawfare. The group brags that it took Trump to court more than 100 times in his first term in office. It has continued its use of the courts to win political battles into his second term in office. "Liberal Legal Group Positions Itself as a Top Trump Administration Foe," touted The New York Times last November.

So the perpetrators of weaponization get paid off big-time and their victims get nothing but hundreds of thousands (or millions) of dollars in legal bills?

Christian Adams of PJMedia calls for the DOJ to make restitution to citizens illegally targeted by a weaponized government.

There are real victims of Biden's weaponized Justice Department, and it is time to make them whole. The fix is quick, easy, and immune to judicial meddling.

Consider the outrageous prosecution of Douglass Mackey. The Biden Justice Department went after him for tweeting a joke that Hillary supporters could vote by text in 2016. It was telling that he was indicted four years after the tweet, just days after Joe Biden's inauguration in 2021. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed his ridiculous conviction this year because "no rational jury" could have found him guilty.

...

James Smith, Erik D. Paulsen, F. Turner Buford, and William J. Gullotta, check your email.

Despite his exoneration, Mackey still had hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees.

He is not alone. Across America, innocent bystanders were forced to respond to Justice Department subpoenas investigating the Russia collusion hoax and the January 6 investigation.

...

The Judgment Fund is a pot of money sitting at the Treasury Department used to pay "judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States." The federal regulation that governs the fund, 31 CFR § 256.1, says it can be used to pay "amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims" against the government.

The Judgment Fund is a "permanent, indefinite appropriation" that pays out millions of dollars for mistakes, errors, and violations of federal law committed by federal agencies and federal employees. The "permanent, indefinite appropriation" language means that the money just magically shows up for Treasury and the Justice Department to use without needing a specific appropriation from Congress.

Side-benefit: People claiming such restitution will also wind up making a case against the government officials that targeted them, creating a paper trail to justify their firing.

Trump Announces DC Homeless Are Being Moved Out and DC Criminals Are Going to Jail
Will Federalize DC Police

"No More Mr. Nice Guy."

President Trump on Sunday vowed to "take our Capital back," pledging to move the homeless "far from the Capital" and jail criminals "very fast" with "no MR. NICE GUY."

Key Details:

Trump said the homeless will be provided housing "far from the Capital" while criminals "will be put in jail where you belong." He compared the planned crackdown to his border enforcement policies.

The president's comments come after 19-year-old Edward Coristine, a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer, was beaten by about 10 juveniles while trying to stop a carjacking last Sunday. Two suspects have been arrested, and a $10,000 reward is offered for information leading to the others.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said the city will cooperate with federal law enforcement but claimed there is "no crime spike."

Yes there is. As in many other post-George-Floyd blue cities, cops have been told to simply not make arrests.

Diving Deeper:

President Donald Trump on Sunday took aim at Washington, DC's crime and homelessness, vowing an aggressive federal push to "make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before." Writing on Truth Social, Trump said, "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital." He added that criminals "don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong. It's all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. This will be easier -- Be prepared! There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.'"

...

Last Thursday, Trump announced a surge of federal law enforcement in DC to combat crime. Some Republicans have floated a federal takeover of the city, which operates under the 1973 Home Rule Act, giving Congress the authority to override local laws.

...

DC remains one of the most dangerous cities in the country, ranking fourth in homicide rates in 2023, according to USA Facts. "It is our capital city. It is more violent than Baghdad. It is more violent than parts of Ethiopia, than parts of many of the most dangerous places in the world," White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller told reporters last week.

Hello everybody. It's a wonderful day for a Monday.

Update: His announcement of the DC crackdown is below. He announced that he's using his powers to federalize the DC police and he's sending in the National Guard.

THE MORNING RANT: Canada Has Recognized the Nation of Palestine, Trump Should Recognize the Independence of Alberta & Quebec

The Canadian government has announced that it will be recognizing “Palestine” as an independent nation next month. Donald Trump should respond by recognizing the independence of Alberta and Quebec, and offering whatever US security and aid is necessary for those provinces to liberate themselves from the Canadian federation, if requested.

Under Hamas, Palestinians have rejected self-rule under a two-state solution that would include a safe and free Israel living in peace next to Gaza. With the October 7, 2023 invasion and mass murder of Israeli civilians, the Palestinians have made it clear that they will only settle for a one-state solution, in which Israelis are killed en masse. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has now let it be known that he sides with the Palestinians in their murderous zeal to have a Jew-free Palestine “from the river to the sea” where Israel now exists.

“Canada says it plans to recognize Palestine as a state, joining the U.K. and France” [CBS – 7/31/2025]

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will recognize Palestine as a state in September at the United Nations General Assembly, following similar announcements from the United Kingdom and France. "The deepening suffering of civilians leaves no room for delay in co-ordinated international action to support peace, security, and the dignity of all human life," Carney said in a statement Wednesday.

President Trump’s message to the UK, France, and Canada recognizing a Palestinian state:

"You're rewarding terrorists!"

pic.twitter.com/x9l0kxUDBi

— Eyal Yakoby (@EYakoby) July 30, 2025

President Donald Trump is understandably appalled at Prime Minister Carney’s endorsement of the mass murder of Jews, and the president has threatened to punish Canada via tariffs and trade penalties.

“Trump says Canada’s Palestinian state move hurts trade talks” [The Hill – 7/31/2025]

“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social shortly after midnight. “That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” he added.

While I have no problem with using economic sanctions or tariffs against terror-supporting countries, which is what Mark Carney’s Canada has become, a better punishment would be to help liberate its restless provinces. Quebec has had several secession votes over the years, and there is a strong desire for independence among its French-speaking majority. It should be known that the United States recognizes the independent nation of Quebec if it should announce its independence from Canada.

As for Alberta, a conservative province whose agricultural and energy industries are under attack from the radical leftists who control the Canadian government, there is a strong and growing independence movement. Donald Trump should give it a nudge by recognizing the sovereignty of Alberta to pursue nationhood – or U.S. statehood – if it so desires.

Canada has a legal duty to negotiate if Alberta votes to leave.

If they refuse?

The U.S. could step in and recognize Alberta as a sovereign nation.

That changes everything.#AlbertaIndependence pic.twitter.com/ygIFLZypcz

— Rise Of Alberta (@RiseOfAlberta) August 6, 2025

I genuinely believe that President Trump’s “Canada as a 51st state” posturing has actually been an “art of the deal” play to make annexing Alberta the compromise position. Once Alberta has safely found refuge under the Stars and Stripes, we should also rescue and annex Saskatchewan too.

Canada ultimately is powerless to stop breakaway provinces. Recognition from the United States that Alberta and Quebec are free and independent, and that we will provide all resources and aid necessary to ensure their independence, may be all that is needed to break up the terror-supporting nation of Canada.
