Mitch McConnell announces his retirement with his One Yellow Light

How did Pike communicate with just one light? This continues to distress me.

McConnell is 83 now, but would be 85 when he's up again in 2026.

I thought we knew he wasn't running again, but we didn't. I assumed he would just finish out his term and retire when he was defenestrated from a leadership position. But apparently, until today, he was still debating whether America could survive without him.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will not run for re-election in 2026 and will instead retire, the longtime senator announced Thursday.

McConnell has served in the Senate for decades, including as Senate majority leader under President Donald Trump's first administration. McConnell is the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, and he announced his retirement on his 83rd birthday.

"Seven times, my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate," McConnell said in prepared remarks to the Senate floor. "Every day in between, I've been humbled by the trust they've placed in me to do their business here. Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime. I will not seek this honor an eighth time. My current term in the Senate will be my last."

McConnell was first elected in 1984, and he plans to serve out the rest of his term ending in January 2027.

The announcement comes after a series of health scares for McConnell, who has frozen up during statements to the public on multiple occasions.

His office never provided an explanation for the episodes.

These power-loving narcissists just refuse to leave the stage, ever. They are so filled with ego they imagine they are indispensable.

As a sage said, the graveyards are filled with self-styled "indispensable men."

If Trump accomplishes nothing else, if he manages to end the Obama-Biden (and older) grift of Democrats stealing taxpayer money to fund Democrat political psyops organizations, he will be the most consequential president since the Civil War.

By the way, we already read about this organization. It was the group that was founded just in time to accept two billion from Biden, despite having previous revenues of only one hundred dollars.

What we didn't know was that it was a Stacy Abrams grift.

DOGE discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.

The Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration awarded Power Forward Communities the grant in April 2024 as part of the agency's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. Power Forward Communities received the green energy grant despite the fact that it was founded months earlier in late 2023 and never managed anywhere near the grant's dollar figure--it reported just $100 in total revenue during its first three months in operation, according to its latest tax filings.

Power Forward Communities' grant was one of just eight Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants that the EPA doled out in April 2024 and that, altogether, totaled $20 billion. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Feb. 13 that his staff and Department of Government Efficiency officials discovered that the Biden administration parked that same $20 billion at an outside financial institution before leaving office, limiting the federal government's oversight of the program.

The revelation that Power Forward Communities is among the beneficiaries of the funds Zeldin's team located raises ethics questions about how the Biden administration selected recipients of such massive grants and whether it played favorites when doling those grants out. Abrams was a vocal proponent of the Biden administration's green energy agenda and campaigned for former vice president Kamala Harris.

It doesn't just raise questions, it answers them.

...

Power Forward Communities and Abrams did not respond to requests for comment.

Um, the moment you took $2 billion in taxpayer funding you gave up your right to refuse comment, Obese Grifter Whore.

Power Forward Communities was established in October 2023 as a coalition of groups led by Rewiring America, a left-wing group that advocates for electrification policies and a transition away from fossil fuel dependence. Abrams, who serves as Rewiring America's senior counsel, said at the time that she was "thrilled" to be part of the Power Forward Communities coalition.

Yeah I'll bet you were thrilled.

Oh, remember when the media told you Biden wasn't scheming to get rid of gas stoves?

He funded this grifter group to get rid of gas stoves.

According to its website, Power Forward Communities is the first nationwide program to finance home energy efficiency upgrades at scale. The group states that its mission is to assist homeowners, developers, and renters with home upgrades replacing gas-powered appliances like a traditional stovetop with electric appliances like an induction stovetop.

In its only press release to date, Power Forward Communities said that, in addition to induction stoves, it would use the $2 billion received from the EPA to help install heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, solar panels, home battery systems, EV chargers, and weatherization upgrades.

"For an organization that has no experience in this, that was literally just established, and had $100 in the bank to receive a $2 billion grant--it doesn't just fly in the face of common sense, it's out and out fraud," Daniel Turner, the executive director of energy advocacy group Power the Future, alleged in an interview with the Free Beacon.

Ben Domenech pointed out that this group was given $2 billion to "install solar panels and heat pumps," despite a history of literally never having installed a single solar panel or heat pump, ever.

Other groups making up this coalition were also, get this, founded by Abrams.

Power Forward Communities lists a large number of partners on its website that it works with to implement its mission. Among its partners are the Southern Economic Advancement Project and Fair Count, two left-wing nonprofits founded by Abrams in the wake of her 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election defeat.

How many different ways do you think she's dipping her fat beak?

Another part of the coalition is funded by George Soros. And its partners include American Federation of Teachers!

And they seem to have taken that $2 billion and put it straight into the purpose it was always designed for: Running ads for the Democrat Party paid for by the taxpayers they rob and rape.

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten and Abrams both serve on the national advisory board for Climate Power, which helped launch a $55 million advertising campaign in September in support of Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.

Happy Thursday. We're almost there!

Update: I forgot -- Biden sent $2 billion to an election-denying insurrectionist.

JewishLivesMatter

Kidnapped from their home, dragged by civilians into the bowels of the festering shithole that is the Arab-run Gaza strip, then murdered.

Hamas and the so-called "innocent civilians" of Gaza are 100% responsible for their deaths, and if ever there is an argument for collective responsibility, this is it. The people of Gaza are enthusiastic and active supporters of Hamas and their bloodthirsty fanaticism, whose goal is clear: the destruction of the Jewish People. This is not passive support...these people store weapons, hold hostages, allow the building of tunnels underneath their neighborhoods(with convenient entrances inside their homes!), camouflage Hamas terror infrastructure in their hospitals and schools, and act in all respects like volunteers in the Hamas terror organization.

That makes them guilty. That makes them legitimate targets for military action. That Israel has not treated the population of Gaza as terrorists is a testament to the essential humanity of the country. The entire country is convulsed with the agony of the hostages, and no matter where people fall on the political spectrum, they feel the collective pain and sadness. Yet the armed forces still comport themselves with dignity and respect for their own rules of engagement, which have gotten many soldiers killed over the years.

But Israel has made a significant strategic error... one that will be the cause of unimaginable suffering in the future. Because of the noble and completely understandable focus on the lives of the hostages and the respect for the dead, Israel has negotiated with terrorists, and those organizations will in the future be fanatical in their pursuit of hostages.

Until Israel makes a conscious decision that hostages will be mourned and honored in perpetuity, but the terrorists who violate every tenet of civilization will be hounded to the ends of the earth and killed, the country will be in a vicious cycle of hostage --> military action --> surrender.

It is an awful decision to make, but the future of the country depends upon a coherent and strategically sound policy with regard to hostages.

And.. yes, it is easy for me to suggest the unimaginable from the comfort and safety of America, but Israel is also the tip of the Western spear against the marauding hordes of Islam, and how Israel ultimately deals with this issue will decide the fate of the West.

Good morning kids. And yet again trying to get a handle on the multitude and magnitude of the links this morning is like the proverbial trying to take a sip of water from a firehose. I may not get to include it all in one editorial but let it not be said I'm not diverse.

In any case, I cannot let the shatteringly heartbreaking story and images of the desecrated corpses of two butchered children and their mother at long last being returned to Israel in exchange for however many savage subhuman monsters who will doubtless go on to commit or inspire others of their kind to commit even more heinous atrocities in the name of ISLAM. The regime in Tehran must be decapitated if for no other reason than to liberate the long-suffering Iranian people (thank you Jimmy Carter) but certainly as it is the head of the snake of Hamas, Hezbollah, PFLP and all the rest that pose the direct threat to Israel.

And as far as Europe goes, considering its horrendous record as both the cradle of fascism, Communism, Nazism, not to mention the tainted gene pool of the Hapsburgs, Romanovs, Saxe-Coburgs and every other royal pain in the ass king and tsar that our ancestors fled and whom we have spent blood and treasure to liberate twice in a century along with trillions to rebuild and defend, their attitude towards us since 1945 sickens me no end. With the exception of the Danes and the individual righteous among nations, they were eager to help Hitler exterminate 6 million Jews, so now they can have fun with the Islamic rape gangs running wild in their streets.

Here's a perfect illustration of this plus an example of pure projection. Anyone who truly believes Putin, as thuggish as he is, has the intention of rolling all the way to the English channel is totally clueless and/or lying through their teeth. Frankly, as my dear mother said, we should've let Stalin take Western Europe in '45 since when or if Reagan got the Berlin wall to tumble, their attitude might have been more akin to Eastern Europe in terms of their appreciation for us They should've got Stalinism good and hard for 50 years:

Former NATO Deputy Supreme Commander General Sir Richard Shirreff warned this week that the U.S. and European leaders are asleep at the wheel when it comes to confronting Russia in Ukraine.
Shirreff told the BBC that he believes that remarks made by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Saudi Arabia were “Cloud Cuckoo Land.”

“I think that it shows a failure to understand what Russia is about,” he said. “What Russia is about is removing Ukraine from the map as a sovereign state, incorporating Ukraine, either physically annexing it in terms of the Eastern and Southern regions of Ukraine, or installing a puppet government in Kiev so that Ukraine becomes a sort of client state, rather like Belarus.”

He said that any negotiator who believes that Russia will accept peace terms that Ukraine is comfortable with “is deluding themselves. ”Shirreff said that President Donald Trump’s intense criticism of Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, means that “Pax Americana is finished.”

I have an idea for this dickhead: Go conscript every European male you can find (Not many left of Caucasian stock due to crashing birthrates among the native populations. Of course there are plenty of Muslim male replacements. Yeah, they'll be conscripted! and send them off to fight the Red Army. Then grab some SPF 10-trillion and wait for a Russian ICBM to airburst over Brussels. Hell, Putin would be doing us all a favor if he took out the Sprouts and perhaps save a warhead or two for Davos.

Closer to home the Hawaiian judges continue to invoke Marbury Kaliki-MAGA to block Donald Trump's constitutional and holy crusade against the Bureaucratic Deep State, which makes this Tanya Chutkan's ruling in his favor surprising to say the least, considering she was among his biggest inquisitors in the J6 she trials.

AS EPA CHIEF Lee Zeldin WAS ABLE TO CLAW BACK BILLIONs FROM THE SANDWORM-LIKE Maw of Stacey Tank Abrams' Green scammers, I see that some shit-whore DOJ prosecutor has resigned rather than do her job of prosecuting a $20 billion Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants climate scam. However we can fumigate the government of these vermin, whether of their own accord or by mass firings, it's all fine.

And with Trump cutting off money to illegal alien invaders, now is the time to tax remittances out the wahzoo.

And of course all the Left can do is rage, and engage in acts of random or not so random violence like shooting up a Tesla dealership.

They are not going to go quietly into the wilderness if that is indeed where they are heading.

Leftist echo chamber Reddit is embracing the French revolution in an attempt to resist President Donald Trump. The platform notorious for its censorship of conservatives is allowing posts calling for violent political revolution in the style of the French “Reign of Terror” to spread virally in the early weeks of the Trump administration. “They want 1939 Germany, let’s give them 1789 France” is popping up all over the platform, with “1789 France” spiking in Google searches and on X Radar, a feature on X that lets users monitor keywords and track conversations.

They seem to forget that 200 million or so of us have more than one firearm and ammunition. Or, the guillotines that will chop their heads off. So bring it on assholes. Be careful what you wish for.

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.

Top Story

• Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti is here and I've found my next video card. (Techspot)
  
  Though those two items are not related. Or more precisely, they are inversely related.
  
  Not that the 5070 Ti is a bad card, certain items ignored. It is fast, it has plenty of VRAM for almost anything at 16GB, and it, uh, mostly works.
  
  The problem is the price. It was announced with a price of $750, and officially that is still the price. The problem is there is no official card. There was even a drama when Nvidia shipped a particular Asus card to reviewers, stating that it was an official launch card priced at $750, when Asus sent the exact same card to other reviewers, saying that it was not an official launch card and was priced at $900.
  
  That appears to have ended with Nvidia either bribing or coercing Asus into selling the card at $750, which simply means that it won't exist.
  
  But that's going to be true of all 5070 Ti cards, just as it is with the 5090 and 5080 a month after their launch.
  
  If you can find one at MSRP, expect to pay $900 to $1000. Which, yes, is nominally the same price as the 5080. But the 5080 will actually set you back over $2000 right now if you can even find one. And the 5070 Ti has the same GPU chip just with some shaders disabled, and the same RAM, so... I'm sure you can figure it out.
  
  Meanwhile in Australia there are only a handful of listings up but they're in the A$1900 to A$2000 range.
  
  What I actually bought - just this morning - was an AMD Radeon 7800 XT. It's also a 16GB card, and while the new 5070 Ti is 50% faster while using only 20% more power, the Radeon cost me A$729 - about US$400 plus tax - making the 5070 Ti 150% more expensive.
  
  Do I care that the 5070 Ti can run Counter Strike at 332fps instead of 257fps on the 7800 XT? A lot less than I care about the $1200 that will pay for the rest of my computer.
  
  Oh, and if you're playing an older 32-bit game using PhysX, it could run at about a quarter speed because Nvidia cards just don't support that anymore.
  
  So, no. Hell no. I decided it was time to stop waiting before every reasonably-priced card disappeared from the market entirely.
  
  Ordered that 7800 XT and a 7900 (non-x) CPU. Still need a motherboard and some DDR5 RAM, but those aren't in a price/availability death spiral right now.

Rapid Response 47
@RapidResponse47

The U.S. has officially declared the following as Foreign Terrorist Organizations: Tren de Aragua, MS-13, the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the United Cartels, the Gulf Cartel, the Northeast Cartel, and the Michoacán Family.

Meghan Markle is trying to brand herself as a tradwife influencer or something.

Some of you may have heard whispers about what I've been creating. In two weeks, my series on @netflix launches -- but there's something else I've been working on. I'm thrilled to introduce you to As Ever -- a brand that I created and have poured my heart into. 'As ever' means 'as it's always been' or some even say 'in the same way as always'. If you've followed along since my days of creating The Tig, you'll know this couldn't be truer for me. This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish -- food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday. I will keep sharing behind the scenes tidbits with you here as we ramp up to launch, and I can't wait for you to get your hands on everything we've been creating. Sending lots of love...

Absolutely, when I think about Prince-Hunting Golddigger Meghan Markle, I always think about her "love language" of the "everyday," simple pleasures of life.

PJ Media's Sarah Anderson:

Over the last six or seven years, Meghan Markle's attempts at selling anything substantial have failed almost every time. Her fake podcasting career was short-lived. With the exception of a "documentary" designed to mock her husband's family, the one that most people seemingly only viewed to hate-watch, she has yet to make much of anything out of her huge Netflix contract. And in 2024, she launched a "lifestyle brand" with the pretentious "American Riviera Orchard" name. As best I can tell, the only thing that ever came from it was that she sent some strawberry jams to celebrities.

...

"'As Ever' essentially means 'as it always been,'" she says with a giggle, adding, "And if you followed me since 2014... you know I've always loved cooking and craft and gardening. This is what I do. And I haven't been able to share it with you in the same way for the past few years, but now I can... Of course, there will be fruit preserves. I think we're all clear at this point that jam is my jam. But there are so many more products that I just love that I use in my home, and it's now it's time to share it with you."

And I think that's the problem. It's still not exactly clear what kind of products Megs will sell at this point -- besides jam, apparently -- and that's because ultimately, no matter what she does, her product ends up being herself. Meghan thinks she's likable and talented enough to become some sort of big media personality based on her Meghan Markle-ness alone. She keeps throwing new ideas against the wall and hoping they stick. At the moment, she fancies herself the next Martha Stewart, but all she'll ever be to most people is the next Wallis Simpson.

I don't know what these two talentless nobodies are going to do for money. I know they have some now, but they're only in their 30s. How are they going to provide for themselves for the next 40-60 years?

A Spanish town is accusing Little Miss Love Language of stealing their town logo.

Civic bosses in the Mallorca village of Porreres reportedly claimed that Markle copied the town's traditional coat of arms by including a single palm tree with two hummingbirds hovering on either side of it on her As Ever logo.

Mayor Xisca Mora told local newspaper Ara Balears that the similarities between the coat of arms and the logo are "surreal."

She also claimed that the town hall is considering whether or not to take legal action against the duchess.

"I don't know if she visited some agritourism sites and saw the coat of arms, because the photo on her website is taken from Mallorca," said Mora.

It is the same design.

I don't know if you can copyright a town's coat of arms, though. Seems unlikely.

Speaking of rebranding: The defense industry is scrambling to hide/"rebrand" its illegal, discriminatory embrace of DEI.

A month ahead of the #NatSecGirlSquad conference in March, organizer Maggie Feldman-Piltch is facing a problem that has been unprecedented in her 10 years of putting on the event.

In the wake of President Donald Trump's Jan. 21 executive order, which directs federal contractors to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, there has been radio silence from defense companies who previously bought exhibit space, underwrote meals and otherwise sponsored the conference.

"Nobody," she said, "is returning emails."

It's just one example of how, in the wake of Trump's executive order, defense contractors are beating a hasty retreat from their previous commitments to DEI initiatives and reshaping their public-facing images to fit the administration's vision -- spelled out in felt-tip pen by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his first memo to the Pentagon, that "DoD ≠ DEI."

Major defense primes are scrubbing their websites to remove references to DEI, including pulling down content associated with minority employees or celebrations like Black History Month. Breaking Defense found that large defense companies like BAE Systems, General Dynamics, L3Harris, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and RTX have clumsily removed webpages associated with previous DEI initiatives, which still appear in search engine results but redirect to dead links.

One industry official, who Breaking Defense granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters, said that defense companies are struggling to understand exactly which activities fall under the umbrella of "illegal DEI."

A company maintaining a DEI department or employing officials hired solely to enact DEI practices would likely run afoul of the executive order, but other longstanding practices aimed at recruiting talent and fostering professional development of employees reside in a gray area, where it will be up to companies to determine how much risk to take, the official said.

A lot of this is just fake posturing to make it harder to prove lawsuits -- right now they're providing the evidence for their invidious discrimination. So they're just scrubbing their official communications so as to not admit invidious discrimination, while intending to continue doing it.

I saw an article about a Michigan school which changed the title of its DEI department to "Community Engagement" or something to pretend to comply with Trump's ban on schools receiving federal funding if they practice DEI. We're going to see a lot of simple name changes.

Why Trump is targeting the AP: It's because the AP's highly-politicized "stylebook" is the leftwing media's dictionary for Orwellian redefinitions of common words for propaganda purposes.

If they routinely redefine words to support Democrat policies, then they can do the same service for Trump, huh?

The big picture: By spotlighting AP, Trump is amplifying Republican and conservative criticisms that the AP Stylebook, a first reference for most U.S. news organizations, shapes political dialogue by favoring liberal words and phrases concerning gender, immigration, race and law enforcement.

"This isn't just about the Gulf of America," White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich told Axios. "This is about AP weaponizing language through their stylebook to push a partisan worldview in contrast with the traditional and deeply held beliefs of many Americans and many people around the world."

The dispute with AP is part of Trump's broader effort to discredit legacy media outlets and the public's trust in the press -- already at a record low.

By the way, Trump's "attack" on the AP is as minor and small-ball as it gets. The AP can still come to the White House briefing room.

The big "attack" the media is shrieking about is that... the AP will no longer have a priviliged place on Air Force One. They can still ride on Air Force One, but ont up front. They'll have to sit in the back with the plebes.

The entitlement!

State of play: After barring AP reporters from covering several events with Trump last week, the White House said Friday that because the wire service "continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America," AP slots in the Oval Office on Air Force One "will now be opened up" to other reporters.

An AP reporter and photographer were blocked Friday from boarding Air Force One for Trump's weekend trip to Florida.

The White House said AP journalists "will retain their credentials to the White House complex."

While the media has pushed the completely-false and completely-debunked claim that transgenders are targeted for violent crimes more than other groups -- in fact, they are targeted less frequently -- they simultaneously continue to suppress stories about the real-life verified trend of trans people committing murders.

Authorities arrested a trans-identified double homicide suspect on Sunday, who has been accused of allegedly killing two female victims in New York. Alan "Alina" Abad, 19, of Westwood, New Jersey, was booked into the Rockland County Jail without bail. The killings are believed to have occurred inside an apartment unit located in Spring Valley, police said.

Spring Valley Police Chief Richard Oleszczuk said that officers discovered the victims around 8:30 pm on February 15 while conducting a welfare check. One victim was found dead at the scene, while the other victim was transported to a local hospital and later died from injuries. Authorities reported that the two victims sustained severe head injuries.

Abad was arrested the following day, February 16, and was booked into jail on first-degree murder charges. The suspect is a biological male who identifies as female.

According to investigators, Abad uploaded several videos to TikTok of himself dancing outside just hours before the gruesome murders. Police said the killings are believed to be isolated incidents and that the suspect and victims knew each other. It's unclear if the video was taken outside of the apartment complex.

You might wonder why this trend of trans people committing murders could be caused by trans people already suffering from mental illness, and you might wonder if that mental illness is worsened by the injection of experimental exogenous hormones.

But there's already a scientific answer to that question: Shut up, racist. The Lancet published the finding that you're all racists and must not question The Science (TM).

New York City introduced a "congestion pricing" scheme to charge people $15 just to drive in central NYC during the day. This scheme is called, probably accurately, a plan to keep middle-class drivers off the road so that rich drivers aren't slowed in traffic.

Due to public protest, Nurse Kathy Hochul paused the plan, and then came back with a new plan -- they'd only charge the plebes $9 just to enter NYC.

That's per-visit, not per month or something.

She actually tried to sell reducing this not-yet-implemented per-trip tax from $15 to $9 as saving New Yorkers money!

So if a mugger takes your wallet but then gives you your subway pass back, he's saved you that money, you see.

This plan required the approval of the US Department of Transportation. I assume this is so because federal highways run through NYC. Biden's super-competent Secretary of Transportation -- Pete Bootyjudge -- approved the scheme.

Sean Duffy just rescinded that approval.

Nick Sortor
@nicksortor

Gov. Kathy Hochul is throwing a FIT that President Trump just axed New York's congestion pricing, saying it will result in budgetary issues.

How about cancelling the $12 BILLION you're spending on illegals if you're worried about the budget, Kathy?

That'd be a fantastic start!

Republicans are at -12, with 40% approving, 52% disapproving. I'm part of the disapproving group. They're useless and pro-Democrat.

The only reason they're voting for Trump's nominees is fear of Trump and Musk coming after them:

GOP senators are terrified over the prospect of facing primary challengers funded by Elon Musk if they stick their necks out by opposing President Trump's agenda.

The White House has signaled that Republicans who thwart Trump's agenda by voting against his controversial nominees or opposing efforts by Musk to freeze government funding and slash federal agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, will pay a political price.

And that's a threat that carries a lot more weight when Musk, the world's richest person, could easily pour tens of millions of dollars into a Senate Republican primary.

Musk warned Republican lawmakers in December that he was compiling a "naughty list" of members who buck Trump's agenda. He also pledged shortly after Election Day that his political action committee would "play a significant role in primaries" next year.

At the time, the threat was seen as mostly aimed at rebellious House conservatives who loomed as an obstacle to reelecting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and threatened to derail Trump's tax agenda by insisting on major spending cuts.

But Republican senators have taken Musk's warning to heart.

The same thing is going on with Democrats. Not only do Republicans hate Democrat congressgrifters, but Democrats hate them for their ineffectualness and frequent descents into self-parody.

22% approve of Charles Schumer and the Democrat Gang of Idiots and Grifters, while an enormous super-majority of 68% disapprove.

Let's have the midterms next week!

Frank Luntz had more bad news for the left and the media (BIRM): In his focus group of literal swing voters -- voters who flipped from Democrat to Trump -- they "love" what Trump and Musk are doing.

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar noted on "CNN News Central" that Luntz runs numerous focus groups and that he has been talking to "a number of voters who were Hillary Clinton 2016, Joe Biden 2020 and then went for Trump in 2024." When Keilar asked how these voters perceive Trump's second term so far, Luntz responded, "pretty well," emphasizing their appreciation for decisive action in Washington.

"They're reacting to it because they love the pace of change. They were very fed up over the last four years. They wanted action. They wanted results. They looked at prices. They looked at affordability. They looked at immigration. And they didn't see anything happening," Luntz said. "They still don't like what he says, but they like what he does. And these are Democrats now who felt that they were not securing the border. They were doing nothing to prevent illegal immigration, that nothing was actually happening."

Trump immediately took action after being sworn in to his second term on Jan. 20, signing over 200 executive actions within 12 hours, addressing issues ranging from the border crisis to the economy.

"They wanted to see a reduction in wasteful Washington spending. And they're seeing that. So what they tell me is, 'I wish he would be a little bit less rude,' but at the same time, they like what he's doing," Luntz continued. "They believe he's serious about it. And for the first time, they have confidence in the future, which is why you now see some significant shifts in the polling about the expectations for the direction in the coming years."

Muh diversity.

Obviously this is Trump's fault.

I don't think we know yet if this was one of Endeavor Air's all-female flights. Their "Unmanned flights," as they put it. So stunning. So brave.

But the fact that the pilots' identities and qualifications (experience, flight hours) are still being hidden makes one wonder.

[A]t a time when in much of corporate America, competence has been forced to give way to diversity, equity, and inclusion, the post-crash jokes practically wrote themselves. "So they basically just hit the curb?" joked radio host and former GOP congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik.

I shouldn't have laughed, but I did.

"Still no word on the pilots or number of hours [the pilots] had, which happened within 24 hours of the Reagan National crash," John Monahan posted. "Things that make you go hmm."

The experts I've read online and talked to offline are in something close to 100% agreement that the crash was due to pilot error.

I saw a pilot on Megyn Kelly say that the recommended rate of descent is 400-500 feet per second, whereas Girlboss Airlines came plummeting down at 1,000 feet per second.

They bragged about their all-female flight crews while playing a line from a song by noted terrorist propagandist MIA, chanting the line "Live fast, die young."

This is just one agency, in just one year.

Ten billion dollars. Stolen from Americans and given to Undocumented Democrats.

The Biden administration spent tens of billions of dollars on grants to migrants and refugees through one of its government agencies, including over $10 billion in just one year, according to a new watchdog report.

The watchdog group Open the Books looked at grants to nonprofits awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement. Its responsibilities include caring for unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the southern border illegally and refugees entering legally.

The watchdog found that in FY 2021, it distributed $2.4 billion in grants to nonprofits. In FY 2022, it distributed $3.4 billion, then that number skyrocketed up to $10 billion in FY 2023 before being reduced to $4.2 billion in FY 2024.

The numbers surged amid a historic migrant crisis at the southern border which plagued the Biden administration between 2021 and 2024.

According to the watchdog, the money included spending to help migrants save for car and home purchases, while another gave out business and personal loans, along with other programs for legal aid and cultural orientation.

"We're hurting American taxpayers. People in places like North Carolina, Los Angeles that have lost everything," Open the Books CEO John Hart told Fox News. "How is it moral to ask them to pay the bill for someone who wants to come to this country illegally? That's outrageous."

Can we retroactively impeach Biden? We discussed that possibility during the Clinton years. Strip him of his pension and Secret Service detail. He can get protection from Ukrainian Nazi squads.

Nailed the casting, just absolutely perfect
Male Gaze: DEFEATED. PERFECT VICTORY.

This is the narcissistic headcase who just starred in Wicked.

It's an all-female version of the play, I guess?

Broadway and Hollywood actress Cynthia Erivo has been cast as Jesus in an upcoming production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl. The announcement was met with both praise and skepticism as it marks a significant departure from traditional portrayals of the biblical figure.

Key Details:

The casting announcement was made by Broadway World, The Hollywood Bowl, and Erivo herself.

The production will run from August 1-3, 2025, under the direction of Tony Award-winner Sergio Trujillo.

Erivo will perform "I Don't Know How to Love Him," a song from the all-female album version of Jesus Christ Superstar released in 2020.

I hope we don't have to see more interviews of her fingering her female co-stars' palms.

Speaking of Gay Woke Race-Bent Casting: The super-gay Nigerian Doctor Who has allegedly quit amid plummeting ratings and rumors that the show is cancelled and even Disney doesn't want to fund this gay propaganda for children any longer.

OCTOR Who is facing the axe, with star Ncuti Gatwa poised to quit and crew claiming to be laid off.

The recent series suffered abysmal ratings with fans outraged by the BBC shoehorning wokery into storylines.

Bosses have postponed any decision until Ncuti's second season has aired later this year.

But the Scot, 32, is already believed to have filmed his regeneration exit scene -- and crew fear the BBC will shelve the show after 62 years.

An insider said: "Ncuti doesn't want to be tied to the series beyond this and plans to relocate to Los Angeles with several Hollywood projects standing by for him.

"His team also see a lot of fan backlash from the series, and don't want the perception of him still being The Doctor to get in the way of any future work.

"The show has been poorly managed in recent years and there's a lot of people who've been working on this show for years and now being cast aside due to poor leadership.

"People warned some episodes were getting too caught up on an agenda rather than telling a story and those people got shouted down, ignored."

Ncuti's first series, which began last May, attracted between 2.25million and 3.18million viewers -- a tiny fraction of what it used to pull in.

Controversy over the storylines has ramped up since 2023, when Russell T Davies returned as showrunner.

A trio of 60th anniversary specials kicked off with a plot involving a character who was able to save London because they were trans.

Another saw The Doctor -- played by the returning David Tennant -- realise he was gay after developing a crush on Sir Isaac Newton.

The first full series had plots slamming everything from capitalism to Christianity -- and introduced a new enemy played by a drag queen.

A huge question mark also hangs over whether Disney will renew its deal, said to be worth 100million [pounds], with the BBC.

Obviously Hollywood and the artistic caste are doubling down on in-your-face gay/trans propaganda in an act of defiance against 60% of the population.

That's fine. I want them to do it. I want them to burn themselves down.

Say, how much covert funding do you think Hollywood receives from the Obama-corrupted CIA and USAID to push Marxist/gay propaganda?

During the first Trump administration, there were certain universal and unquestionable truths espoused by the American press. Among them was the constant refrain of the first Trump administration: whistle-blowers are heroes. Not so much anymore. Ever since January 20, there has been nothing more hated than a whistle-blower.

Under the grinding of Trump's steam roller, whistle-blowers are now evidence not of brave #RESISTANCE, but of the unrelenting horror of new American fascism. The reversal has been extremely rapid, and extremely complete. The American press is fully consistent and unified to a fairly unusual degree in its opposition to the new era of whistle-blowers that, despite being less than a month old, has already caused seismic disruption in Washington.

Good morning kids. Well, here on the Morning Report we ask, or as some of my old classmates from Brooklyn would say, "axe you" the important questions. Such as which is more disturbing?

Anyway, scientists discovered a fungus inside Irish caves that turns cave spiders into zombies.

The Zizians are anything but fun. They’re a transgender murder cult operating across the length and breadth of the nation.

So, Irish zombie spiders or a murderous cult of psychotic perverts. But, as we are fond of saying around here, embrace the power of "and." Zizzian I imagine (having no firsthand knowledge I can assure you!) is the sound that emanates from Anita Dunn's thighs when she's molting or being ravaged by the Gorn.

All of which segues rather nicely into a number of stories that confirm the notion that evil never rests, and despite the miracle of Trump's landslide victory and several weeks now of him delivering bigly on his promises, the forces of Evil are indeed striking back primarily in the courts as we are well aware, since their hold on power is being directly and effectively challenged perhaps for the first time ever. But of course, their unshakeable faith that History (certainly not God as they are Godless heathens in the main) is on their side as the protectors of Democracy, then by any means necessary to preserve, protect and defend their status is acceptable.

So this happened yesterday:

dodge minivan that was destroyed in a fire in a Philadelphia neighborhood Tuesday morning has been identified as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle, according to Citizen Alerts, a community-wide emergency notification app.

And I'm sure this is completely coincidental, right?!

Antifa, a violent, so-called anti-fascist group, tweeted out a list of over 1,500 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ identities. The Twitter account “nebraska antifa” sent out a tweet to its followers on Tuesday that linked to the personal information of ICE officers compiled from information found on LinkedIn.

Psaki-psircling back to the Zizzians, they were involved in a shootout in Vermont with ICE agents resulting in the death of an ICE agent.

Youngblut and Bauckholt were members of a radical group whose goals and ideology are a pastiche of new-age nonsense. They call themselves "Zizians" after the nom de guerre of their leader, Jack "Ziz" LaSota, who identifies as a woman. The cult-like group consists of radical vegans who believe that artificial intelligence can end the world.

Maybe they saw the Dodge logo on the van and thought DOGE/MUSK?!

Pam Bondi and assuming he is confirmed, Kash Patel need to go after Antifa, their financiers, splinter groups and every other domestic terror group including BLM, La Gaza (great typo! I meant La Raza-jjs), Mecha and all the others who are the inheritors of the phrase "Armed Militant Wing of the Democrat Party," or the Ku Klux Klan. Yes my dear Leftist followers, you and your party created the KKK as a terrrist organization to thwart reconstruction and integration.

Meanwhile, in the most Jewish section of the most Jewish city on the planet outside of Israel, this shit is still going on:

An anti-Israel protest erupted into violence and mayhem as a swarm of demonstrators flooded a primarily Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. One person was arrested after dozens of agitators chanting “Zionists go to hell” and waving Palestinian flags descended on Borough Park to protest a real estate event, according to police and reports. . . Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) blasted protesters for targeting Borough Park “simply because it is Jewish.” “It should come as a shock to no one that the pro-Hamas mob targeting Jews and promising to ‘flood’ Boro Park has descended into violence,” he posted to X Tuesday night. “Violence is not a bug but a feature of the so-called ‘Free Palestine’ movement, which has no desire to free Palestinians from Hamas.”

The ACLU was unavailable for comment having recently disposed of their swastika armbands they had leftover from Skokie 1977.

Well there's law fare and then there's law enforcement induced anarcho-terrorism:

Reputed Tren de Aragua gangsters nabbed in NYC felony drug raid — only to be cut loose with a slap on the wrist

Every DA's office in the nation that does this needs to be shuttered, the DA's that do this ejected and perhaps arrested. And dear Lord it's high time Soros and his entire criminal seditious treasonous enterprise gets the living shit RICO'd out of it.

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.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY
• At one point, the dueling groups converged, and a brawl ignited with the sounds of screams blaring in the background as police forcefully separated the sparring crowd, according to videos shared on X.

Top Story

• AMD's Strix Halo laptop chip is here - or almost here; at least review embargoes have lifted on the Asus ROG Flow 13 which features it - and it's actually good. (Hot Hardware)
  
  This chip has 16 Zen 5 cores - full size ones, not the smaller and slower Zen 5c - along with 40 RDNA 3.5 cores and a 256-bit memory bus.
  
  CPU results range between solid and blowing everything else on the market into oblivion. On Geekbench 6 multi-threaded, it's 66% faster than its nearest competition - despite both chips having the same number of cores.
  
  The selling point of this chip is the integrated graphics, which AMD promised to be competitive with Nvidia's RTX 4070. Now, they did mean the laptop 4070, which is about 20% slower than the desktop version. But this review includes multiple laptops equipped with the 4070 and the AMD chip's integrated graphics pretty consistently lands in the middle of that pack.
  
  It's not cheap by any means, but Best Buy has a 64GB ROG Flow 13 for $2199, which is not insane for one of the fastest laptops you can buy.

Greetings and good Tuesday evening. A roundup of random items - house cleaning. Any day with an ONT is a great day to be alive. Still not tired of winning.

Artists gave a couple of the First Ladies very long legs in the link below. Content warning, one portrait in there that will cause you to retch.

Official White House portraits of former presidents and first ladies since 1965.

The White House Historical Association has had an active role in acquiring and donating portraits of recent presidents and first ladies since 1965 when the Association negotiated to acquire a portrait of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt from the widow of artist Douglas Granville Chandor. Since that time, it has been a goal to acquire contemporary or historic portraits of presidents and first ladies, "either to represent those not in the collection or to replace earlier likenesses judged less than successful."
