THE MORNING RANT: Forsaking Further Conservative Victories Because of “Epstein Disappointment” is not Principled, It’s Surrender

Count me among the people who would very much like to see justice come to everyone who committed a crime in their association with Jeffrey Epstein. If there are any lists, files, documents, etc. that would incriminate the powerful and politically connected, I want them released. But I also fear that whatever evidence existed has likely been destroyed, and that the lore regarding “Epstein Island” may exceed the actual crimes.

That said, I refuse to join in with those seeking to blow up the Trump administration out of frustration that an “Epstein list” is not being released.

Dating back to President Obama’s weaponization of government against his political enemies, I despair about the lack of accountability and consequences for those who so egregiously violated the public’s trust. From Lois Lerner to Anthony Fauci to the government employees pushing the Russia collusion hoax in an effort to overthrow Trump in his first term, I am extremely frustrated about the lack of accountability. I want prosecutions. But I also still want political victories wherever I can get them, and my frustration about the lack of prosecutions does not mean we should suspend the MAGA agenda. The same sentiment applies to the Epstein situation.

Quite simply, be it Fauci or Epstein, I want these people prosecuted for their crimes. But irrespective of them being prosecuted or not, I still want my political priorities advanced.

As I documented here a few days ago, the One Big Beautiful Bill that was just signed into law kneecapped green energy and has effectively defunded the “EV Transition.” The first six months of Trump 47’s presidency has seen the most dramatic rollback of big-government in my lifetime, and President Trump is also vigorously fighting the culture war too.

This all correlates very closely to something I just wrote about at The Blaze. For decades, the phony “budget hawks” of the Republican establishment (e.g. Paul Ryan and his ilk) used “the deficit crisis” as an excuse to spike the conservative agenda. The gimmick was that nothing that America-first/cultural conservatives sought could be pursued legislatively until the budget crisis was fixed. But they also ensured that no fixes could be made, because the first cut they talked about was always to social security and Medicare, not cutting the low hanging fruit that Doge just tackled. Paul Ryan and his fellow establishmentarians never did anything to actually cut government, they just served to protect the swamp by having us feel we were projecting great principles while actually surrendering to the establishment. The “conservative” opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill tried to exploit our principles the same way. They failed. Conservatism advanced and government is being rolled back.

In summary, we cannot let frustration about Epstein cause us to stop the momentum of President Trump.

Here is my piece at The Blaze, “The Budget Hoax That Nearly Sank Trump’s Biggest Win.” It’s behind a paywall, but as always, if you are a subscriber to The Blaze, I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

Too many conservatives have fallen for the “budget hawk hoax” for far too long, accepting that we cannot have any conservative victories so long as we have a national debt. Perhaps that day has finally ended. Yes, our country’s fiscal crisis is real, and it will persist. But forsaking any victories over the left because of the deficit is not a matter of high principle. It’s simply surrender.

My latest at The Blaze: "Budget hawks" have killed conservative legislation for decades, arguing that no conservative gains of any kind can pass Congress until the deficit is fixed. It's all a con job, but Republicans didn't fall for the hoax this time.https://t.co/0e19WV3tqm

Mid-Morning Art Thread

Inferno
Sarah Lucas

Why three? Because I had to look at it, and I am a big believer in sharing the pain. This was in the modern art gallery of the Tate Britain, which is an otherwise wonderful museum, filled with great British art. For some unfathomable reason, they feel that this sort of stuff deserves to be seen.

They are wrong.

This is the blurb about it.

In Inferno, two walnuts and a cigar become makeshift genitalia. The warm lightbulb glowing in the bowl suggests a fiery underworld. The toilet is an intimate place and a regular subject for Sarah Lucas. Throughout her work, everyday objects are playfully transformed to expose the mischievous, destructive and vulnerable parts of life. Humour is central to her work, often creating a sense of unease. Lucas says, ‘When humour happens, things get good. Less depressing. It's a kind of magic. Suddenly things make sense.’

Sarah should probably expand her horizons past the bathroom.

The Morning Report — 7/14/25

Good morning kids, Happy Bastille Day, Le Quatorze Juillet en Francais. All things considered, here's an item that is both heartening and frightening in its implications for where we are as a nation and society.

Video posted to Facebook appears to show a woman plow through anti-ICE protesters Saturday in New Jersey, injuring three, and is now facing charges, according to police. The videos shows a gray SUV slowly approach a crowd of protesters marching against ICE raids when a one protester approaches the driver. The woman behind the wheel, Linda Roglen, then begins to proceed and the protester falls to the ground while others gather around to stop the car. Roglen then rolls up her window and drive through the crowd and leaves the scene. (RELATED: Los Angeles ICE Riots Cost City $20 Million — And Counting)

Roglen has been charged with careless driving, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and four counts of assault with a car resulting in bodily injury, according to the New York Post. Several protesters suffered injuries and one was taken to the hospital, News 12 reported.

The protest was organized by a group called “United Against Fear,” according to the New York Post. Several witnesses described the scene, with one man saying “I don’t know what they said, but they just say something to each other and he spits in her face.” “I was scared though, honestly, like for those people. Because you never know, man. Something like that, you could die. That’s scary,” the man added. . . It is unclear if the man who allegedly spit on Roglen will face charges.

Let's see. New Jersey? I wouldn't bet on it.

Across the political left, from orthodox Democrats to Antifa in the streets, the opposition to President Donald Trump has lost its collective mind.

there is the so-called “left-wing Resistance” and the street mobs’ descent into violence and terrorism.

Sometimes, thugs ambush ICE agents.

Sometimes, they firebomb Tesla dealerships.

Sometimes, they attack federal buildings, shut down freeways and pelt patrol cars with concrete. They continue with impunity because they know the Democrat Party cannot and will not censure them. . .

Finally, the left is outraged that so far, the Trump counterrevolution is working. . .

. . . Add it all up, and the impotent left in all its orthodox and street manifestations has become unhinged. And why not when it rightly fears that not just its power, but the very sources of its power, are in mortal danger?

From my perspective, it's not so much that the polices of the Trump counterrevolution are working, and so far they are firing on all cylinders. It's that their success underscores and puts a gigantic spotlight on the decades of abject failure and disaster of Leftist/progressive/socialist/Democrat policies. To me that is the mortal danger and existential threat to Democrat power and influence going forward. This is the golden moment of opportunity that potentially marks the sea change in the culture going forward that puts America on the path to restoration. And erasing the "long march through the institutions" that got us to the brink of destruction.

This is why we are seeing the ugly naked violence against ICE and the cops as well as the gleeful mockery of Christian children swept away and drowned in torrential flooding in Texas. Rejection is a hell of a thing to deal with, especially among those who view themselves as the absolute moral authority of this nation, and who view those who have rejected them – that is all of us! – as evil and an existential threat not only to them but to democracy, the human race and even the planet itself.

The Democrat/Left are playing with fire, but given the fact that the have targeted law enforcement yet need them at the same time, it remains to be seen who in the end is going to get burned.

Two years after BLM rioters picked up $6 million in damages because the police officers trying to stop their rampage didn’t wear face masks, Democrats are trying to ban law enforcement from wearing face masks. California state senators are introducing a bill to make local, state and federal law enforcement personnel, especially ICE, wearing face masks into a crime.

In two years, the Left has gone from demanding face masks to trying to outlaw them. . . The real purpose of masks at public events is to conceal the wearer’s identity and to intimidate the public. That is why rioters and Hamas supporters wear them. Especially while committing crimes. ICE personnel wear masks because of a rise in doxxing and attacks against them. The Left is trying to ban masks now to enable the stalking and threats aimed at ICE employees.

Masks are another form of power. And the Left seeks to preserve any and all forms of power as its exclusive privilege under the pretext of various forms of victimhood and identity politics. When the Left set out to protect mask wearing by rioters, it claimed that regulations, first imposed to fight the KKK, banning mask wearing in public discriminated against the disabled.

Only last year, the pro-crime activists at the Marshall Project claimed that antisemitic rioters should be able to wear masks to protect their privacy against the police and Jewish groups. The pro-crime organization cited the example of the participants in the Boston Tea Party. But while rioters and terrorist supporters deserve the right to be protected from “harassment”, law enforcement officers putting their lives on the line to stop gangs, terrorists and cartels don’t.

And as we recognize the anniversary of the French Revolution, it comes also on the on-year anniversary of the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler, PA

It’s been one year since President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, missed Trump’s head by an inch—a bullet grazed his ear while he was speaking at a campaign rally.  It could have been much worse. 
Though Trump obviously survived, the attack did result in the death of 50-year-old firefighter Corey Comperatore and injured rally attendees. 

It’s strange that we still know so little about Crooks, his motives and what exactly happened July 13, 2024. Conspiracies swirled in the immediate aftermath about whether Crooks was somehow involved in an “inside job” or perhaps coordinating with enemies abroad. Those all resulted in dead ends. 

Even now, questions about Crooks still abound: Who was he? Why did he attack Trump? Did he really act alone? What about the Secret Service’s role?

And with all of that, there's this:

Police in San Antonio arrested a Texas man Thursday night after he allegedly threatened to assassinate President Donald Trump. The alleged threat was made in a Facebook post, where the man reportedly wrote, “I won’t miss.” San Antonio police officers arrested 52-year-old Robert Herrera for threatening to assassinate President Trump via a Facebook post. The threat happened three days before the first anniversary of the attack that nearly took the then-presidential candidate’s life.

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!

Howdy, Y'all! Welcome to the wondrously fabulous Gun Thread! As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative.

Food Thread: Pâté, Sweet Tea, And Cheese Puffs? Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad!

That is called Oyakodon, and it's a very simple dish that lots of different food cultures make, or at least their version of it. Some sort of flavored protein (in this case it is chicken simmered in dashi), eggs, onions or some other aromatic, and starch. This is obviously rice, but potatoes or pasta or beans will work.

It's delicious, and one of my favorite simple meals. But as I said, lots of other countries make something like it. America's Hash & Eggs works just fine for me. Eggs in Purgatory (Italy), or Shakshuka (Mediterranean), etc. Hell, I guess Chinese fried rice falls into this category. And Chilaquiles.

Maybe it's just a "whatever leftovers we have goes into the skillet" sort of dish, but I like them all!

[What? Life intrudes? How dare it! The Food Thread^TM will be a little light today, since I have been busy eating and drinking as research for future additions!]

But...it's going to be closed for a month. A Month! Not for maintenance. Not for illness in the family.

No. It's their summer vacation!

If Wishes Were Horses, Beggers Would Ride

Flipping a blue state sounds eminently doable in our brave new world of President Trump. He has knocked the Democrat party flat on its corrupt ass with a flurry of executive orders, bills, and foreign policy changes that are designed to remake our economy, culture, and relationship with the rest of the world. The Democrats are scrambling everywhere, and it is a gratifying thing to see!

But the GOPe, or failed Republican Party, or whatever you want to call them is still a powerful force in many states, and their sclerotic vision for America has created significant issues for the Trump Doctrine. And no more so than in NJ, which has a pathetic, useless, feckless, corrupt state Republican apparatus.

The proof is their perennial candidate for governor, Jack Ciattarelli. He ran in 2017 and 2021, and obviously lost both times, the second time in the general election to a pathetic, chinless scumbag Goldman Sachs apparatchik who is the quintessential machine Democrat.

But hope springs eternal in the Garden State! I guess the third time will be the charm.

New Jersey's Blue Wall Is Crumbling, and Democrats Know It

New Jersey, a state that reliably votes blue in national elections, has long been considered a Democratic stronghold. But the political winds have shifted. The party that once took victory for granted now finds itself in a full-blown panic, pouring cash into a race that should have been an afterthought. The reason? Voters are restless, and the Democratic brand is tarnished.

This isn't just about one election. It's about the growing sense that Democrats are losing their grip on New Jersey. Donald Trump's support in New Jersey has grown with each election, hitting a record 1.9 million votes in 2024.

Sounds great! Except Ciattarelli is a machine politician without a coherent political philosophy other than he wants to be governor. He was an anti-Trumper until he saw which way the wind was blowing, but even then he tried to titrate his responses to keep the image of a maverick. Like when he denied knowing that a "Stop The Steal" rally he headlined was...you know...a "Stop The Steal" rally!

He offers nothing other than the GOPe pablum with a dash of faux-Trump muscularity to keep the base interested. He also has presented nothing substantive to combat the obvious crookedness of NJ elections. And if you dip into his policy statements, you will discover a central planner in disguise.

Can he win? Sure. Will he win? I doubt it. He is a boring politician without a clear message for New Jersey: otherwise known as a typical Republican. He is running against another boring politician, Mikie Sherrill, but she has the massive backing of the Democrat machine that will manufacture votes in whatever way it can to ensure her victory.

Until the Corporate Republican Party recognizes that it is not business as usual, it will continue to lose these sorts of races, because its lack of vision into the sea change that is possible in the United States prevents them from supporting the types of candidates that will be successful in Trump-curious areas.

• Well, that was quick: The Commodore 64 Ultimate is the first hardware from the eponymous company since around the time of the Peloponnesian War. (Liliputing)
  
  For certain values of "new". It is based around an existing hardware emulator kit and a very slightly modified version of the original case. Or more than slightly modified if you choose the translucent RGB Starlight or Founders Edition models.
  
  It's been updated just a little, of course. The original user port is gone, replaced with a selection of HDMI, Ethernet, and USB ports. The RAM capacity has been increased slightly, from 64K to 128MB. And the CPU is a FPGA emulating the original 6510 (a modified 6502) in hardware, apparently at around 168MHz.
  
  It also includes two ZIF sockets for optional SID audio chips, though those are only required for purists since the FPGA is quite happy to emulate those as well.
  
  Apart from that, though, any original hardware that is still operational should simply plug in and work.
  
  And it comes with a 64GB USB drive full of software and demos, the equivalent of about half a million floppy disks.
  
  Priced at $299 for the basic beige model and $349 for the Starlight version.

Saturday Evening Movie Thread [moviegique]: The Return of the Living Dead

It was another good fortnight-and-a-half at 'casa 'gique, starting with the indie/arty/actorly Everything's Going To Be Great, where a theater kid born into a theater family struggles with convincing people he's heterosexual and ultimately learns he's not the center of the universe, and ending with the taut Persian thriller Tatami, about a Persian judoku who is doing well in a competition, so the Iranian government calls up and tells her to fake an injury—because she might have to go up against an Israeli and they have to boycott Zionists and since they can't, they have to pretend they're not, and, my God, what a bunch of whiny-ass bitches running that country.

We bookended this with two '90s(ish) movies, Shall we Dance? and In The Mood For Love from Japan and China respectively.

And what was between the bookends? The glorious year of 1984(ish). We started with Tsui Hark's Shanghai Blues, went to a double-feature of Return of the Living Dead and Repo Man, then followed up with the 40(ish) anniversary of This Is Spinal Tap.

With the exception of Tap, none of these '80s films are (generally) regarded as classics—more cult classics, than anything. Shanghai Blues strikes me as under-rated: It's a romcom, almost a screwball comedy with a kind of kung-fu sensibility to the physical humor (think a less frenetic, less violent Jackie Chan). It, like the other three movies, has a surprisingly light, almost casual regard for things which would be ponderously heavy today. These films touch lightly on promiscuity, homelessness, pedophilia, assault, sexual assault, dismemberment, PTSD, death—in ways you really can't anymore.

I gots things to say about all of 'em, but tonight, let's just talk about the movie Simon Pegg called "a piss take" on the zombie genre.

Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. We gave the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies(TM) a spin and it came up with rocks.

Rocks? Yes. Rocks.

Not like "Let there be Rock" or "Can you smell what the rock is cooking?" Think more like "Welcome to the Rock" or "dumb as a box of rocks."

You might be tempted to say "I'm not really into rocks as a hobby." Tough. Dig around in the content and soak in the comments. You might find that you're really into rocks and didn't know it or you might find reasons to get into rocks. Either way, glad you're here.

Can the Democrats of New York help out California??

Recently, a young friend on social media posted a short clip suggesting that the harsh rhetoric of many prominent Democrats toward Zorhan Mamdani, candidate for mayor of NYC, demonstrated why they were ineffective at "fighting fascism".

On Thursday, Ace picked up the following squabble: Zohran Mamdani's communist supporters say they're going to primary leftwing racist Hakeem Jeffries next. And then:

Jeffries' team fired back with their new, dumb insult.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries is focused on taking back the House from the MAGA extremists who just ripped health care away from millions of Americans," Jeffries senior adviser André Richardson told CNN.
"However, if Team Gentrification wants a primary fight, our response will be forceful and unrelenting. We will teach them and all of their incumbents a painful lesson on June 23, 2026," he warned.

"Team gentrification". Heh. There's some harsh rhetoric for you.

But "prominent Democrats" in NYC are not the only ones with communication problems lately.

On Thursday, J.J. Sefton provided some excellent commentary on untoward behavior by Democrats recently. J.J. featured a piece by Victor Davis Hanson which included a wide variety of such behavior, The Roots of Leftist Rage. VDH concludes:

Add it all up, and the impotent left in all its orthodox and street manifestations has become unhinged.

And why not when it rightly fears that not just its power, but the very sources of its power, are in mortal danger?

There are a couple of nutty things from California that you may have missed this week with Gavin on the podcast trail. He may not have covered all the issues, either. I have been wondering in particular if the state and local officials who have decided to require the building of low-income housing in Pacific Palisades might not want to take some tips from Zorhan Mamdani, whose ideas for "community housing"seem to be among the most popular parts of his campaign.

Together, California and NYC could show us how his ideas would work! Maybe they need a little "Team Gentrification". Instead of this:

• Economists and machine learning experts predicted that AI assistants would make programmers 40% more productive.
  
  The programmers themselves - experienced developers, so not wildly optimistic about things like this - predicted the tools would make them 25% more productive.
  
  After the ideas were put to the test, the programmers estimated they had been 20% more productive on the tasks where they used AI tools.
  
  They were 20% less productive. (Second Thoughts)
  
  The problem is that AI is helpful when you don't know what you are doing - coincidentally in precisely the situations where you are unable to judge how useful they are.
  
  When you know what you are doing, they are of less value. Of less than no value, on average.
  
  So the best approach to taking advantage of AI is to use it for tasks where you can't judge the results and don't care whether they are correct.
