Nancy Mace "Physically Accosted" and Injured by "Pro-Trans Man"

Nancy Mace
@NancyMace

I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it'll heal just fine.

The Capitol police arrested the guy.

Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO.

According to a source with knowledge, LGBTQ+ activist James McIntyre allegedly grabbed @NancyMace's hand aggressively, tightened his grip and shook her around by her arm. Rep. Mace weighs only around 115 pounds.

McIntyre faces a charge of assaulting a government official, a felony.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Downswing?

Since before Trump's reelection but especially after, there has been a question lingering in the minds of many. It goes along the lines of, "have we finally achieved Peak Woke?" I don't know, but I know that the question has been arising more often this year than in years prior. Ever since the Dylan Mulvaney debacle with AB-InBev, this was a question that it was suddenly - very suddenly - acceptable to ask. The displeasure with Wokeness has been rising, sometimes barely perceptibly, since then.

But it is very hard to tell. Wokeness in all its forms is so deeply embedded in American (and, more broadly, Western) institutions that it is by no means vanquished merely because Trump won and at least a plurality of people got publicly fed up with tranny madness. But there are indicators that are promising in terms of entertainment and associated products. This is a tricky barometer because the production lead time on such things is very long and entertainment is often slow to pivot to a new reality. The queue of crap that got a green light years ago has to drain. But there is one exception to this, a category with (relatively) quick turnaround: advertising.

The Morning Report — 12/11/24

Good morning kids. As the saying goes, in the end it won't matter who fired the first shot, but who fired the last. And make no mistake we have been under a barrage of artillery, of both the rhetorical and literal variety going on 200-plus years. The toxic mix of an unslakable will to power, along with more than a mere soupçon of self-hatred, greed, envy and just the orgasmic glee in watching glass shatter, things go up in flames and people bleed is what we are dealing with in the Left and its locus of political power the Democrat Party.

The inversion of reality that makes Daniel Penny a villain and this Mangione some sort of a hero just underscores and scratches the surface of the twisted, perverted mentality we are up against. Let me state for the record that what Daniel Penny was forced to do given the circumstances he found himself in is regrettable in the extreme. The blame for that falls squarely at the feet of the moral and societal decay that created Neely and set him loose to roam at will. And there can be no excusing of a cold blooded assassination of a healthcare CEO regardless of whatever the shooter ranted and raved about in his manifestos. As I have stated or tried to explain over the past few days, the failings of the system that are inherent are only compounded by government interference, that were supersized post-2010. And, the decision of executives and employees or medical professionals to deny coverage regardless of legal or other consequences are perhaps a moral failing on their part which goes hand in hand of the moral and societal dissolution going on for decades now that has corrupted so much of said society. Still, you don't stalk an insurance executive and gun him down in cold blood thinking that will somehow solve problems, real or imagined.

Be it this nut or Ted Kaczynski or Audrey Hale or any one of a dozen or more over just the last few years, what drove them to do what they did is the result primarily of Leftist brainwashing, blame-shifting onto capitalists, saboteurs, racists, kulaks, right-wingers or whoever stands in the way of total Democrat/Leftist domination and the paradise on earth they have been promising since forever, if only they can liquidate Trump and the literal Hitlers that stand in the way.
Yeah, bitch and moan all you want about the lousy insurance companies, doctors and whoever. And I do not mean to diminish or dismiss any of you or your loved ones that have had horrid experiences with them during times of a health crisis. And I pray for you and yours.

Yet take note of who is cheering on or otherwise excusing the killing of Brian Thompson as understandable. Look who you're agreeing with:

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) commented on the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by stating that “violence is never the answer, this guy gets a trial, who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care]. But you can only push people so far, and then, they start to take matters into their own hands.” And regulation is needed.

Did this miserable despicable whore not remember that she was installed in the Senate to help pass Obamacare? Which was supposed to cure the sick and lower costs for everyone, nein? Yet, prior to that and certainly since, healthcare and insurance are regulated out the wahzoo, like every other aspect of life and the economy by a massive unelected bureaucracy. And as we discussed on the latest podcast, remember that both insurance and healthcare are not guaranteed human rights and/or entitlements. They too are services that must be paid for, somehow. If they're a right, then feel free to waltz in on Dr. Oz in the middle of the night with whatever ails you and demand he treat you.

The salient point here is what the Dishonest Injun of the land crab salad tribe said, you can only push people so far, and then, they start to take matters into their own hands.” If that really was true, she and her fellow travelers would've been "transitioned" shall we say into worm food long ago, never to rise. But it is tacit approval of what the shooter did and she's not alone as we all well know by now.

And they believe with unshakeable faith that they are protecting our precious democracy from the forces of darkness and evil and so nothing is off the table.

I mean, here we have some apple-robbing flatfoot from LA spouting this:

LA Deputy District Attorney Suggests ‘Tyrant’ Trump Should Be Killed.

On top of that, a Swatting incident involving MTG resulting in a fatal car crash. Her fault, of course. /sarc

And, we have Nancy Mace assaulted on Capitol Hill by some pervert homosexual activist.

That I even have to mention the accursed name of Joy Reid is enough to induce vomitus. And yet you must let them choke on their own turds/words.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” that conservatism itself has “justified violence,” adding that we were “Gotham” and the Joker was “in charge.”
Reid said, “Today, the 26-year-old suspect in the killing of United Healthcare CEO was back in a Pennsylvania courtroom for an extradition hearing to determine when he’ll be brought back to New York to face charges including second-degree murder. The case has brought out a clear division in the reaction among those on the right. You see, when popular conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro and anti-woman zealot Matt Walsh try to attack evil liberals for celebrating the murder of a CEO, they were met with backlash from some of their own supporters, who defended the violence. Because the truth is some on the right don’t necessarily abhor violence if it’s against someone they don’t like, like Black Lives Matter activists or pro-Palestinian protesters. that’s why we see them get behind Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed two BLM  protesters or George Zimmerman who killed Trayvon Martin and turn them into cause celebs.”[sic]

This, porcine, cancerous anal fistula cannot go to the Infernal reaches fast enough to suit me. The poison she spouts along with Warren and Titty Caca Ocasio are basically marching orders for Leftists that it's open season on anyone who opposes them. Or anyone at all who can be "transitioned" into a Horst Wessel of convenience.

The ‘Tolerant’ Left Sure Does Like Assassinations . . .The truth is that leftists are far more prone to want to murder their opponents because they’ve been infected by the Marxist-power-struggle virus, which leads them to think that the murder of a political opponent is always justifiable homicide.

In the case of health care, the left will never be satisfied until the government controls the entire system, soup to nuts, with Sen. Bernie Sanders making decisions about which patients live or die. If that means sacrificing a few health insurance CEOs on the road to this socialist Nirvana, so be it. . .

. . . In the midst of this sickness, there were some voices expressing common sense.
One of them was Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean at the Yale School of Management. He wrote that:
I have studied CEO and business leadership for 40 years, and such dancing on the grave of a murdered business executive is one of the most abhorrent things I have ever seen. This vitriol and violence against business and business leaders is plainly un-American.‌
Indeed it is. And who hates America? Oh, right, those on the left.

Note to Fauxcahontas Warren, We The People can only be pushed so far. The distance is yet to be determined, and we have been shoved very far indeed, to the point of off a cliff, or into a mass grave. As I stated at the start, we shall see in the end who fires the last shot. Dear Lord, regrettable though it may be, let it be us. Amen.

I believe I called this not long after the 2020 election was stolen, and when all the statues of Columbus, Lincoln, Washington and even Mahatma Ghandi came down, it won't be long before brutal cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal is pardoned and then given the medal of freedom.

And here we are:

Democrats on Capitol Hill are begging President Joe Biden, set to leave office next month, to commute the death sentences of 40 federal inmates, including one of the Boston Marathon bombers, child killers, mass shooters, and those convicted for brutally murdering women. . .

. . . Pressley also accused the first administration of President-elect Donald Trump of going on an “execution spree” for carrying out the death sentences of those sitting on death row in federal prison. Similarly, Rep. Cori Bush (R-MO) called the death penalty “a barbaric, inhumane practice most often weaponized against the most vulnerable among us” because “the overwhelming majority of people on death row are black and brown.”

Among the death sentences that Pressley and Bush are asking Biden to commute are those of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted of helping carry out the Boston Marathon bombing terrorist attack that killed three people; Daniel Troya, convicted of drug-related killings of a family including two children; Marvin Gabrion, convicted of kidnapping and murdering 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman; Robert Bowers, convicted of murdering 11 Jewish Americans in a Pennsylvania synagogue; and Brandon Basham, convicted of raping and murdering 44-year-old Alice Donovan, among others.

I did not see Abu Jamal mentioned by LoPecia Pressley and that other bloated slag, but his name has got to be in there.

Suggestion for President Elect Trump: Somehow engineer the repatriation of Assata Shakur, aka Joanne Chesimard back to the USA from Cuba, have her finally convicted and then publicly executed.

That and have Kash Patel make smashing BLM, Antifa and their backers a top priority.

If only the Democrat Party could've been dismantled post 1865. And God bless the sacred memory of Senator Joe McCarthy who tried to warn us.

Have a great day.

Leftwingers Now Making Death Threats Against Altoona PA Cops for Arresting Their Murderer-Boyfriend Luigi Mangione

The hateful violent left is calling in death threats to the Altoona PA Police Department.

Police in Altoona, Pennsylvania have received threats against officers following the arrest of UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione on Tuesday.

An Altoona Police Department spokesman told Fox News Digital authorities are investigating all threats received against police officers and some members of the community.

"This is clearly a very polarized case," Deputy Chief Derek Swope said. "We have received some threats against our officers in building here. We've started investigating some threats against some citizens in our community. We're taking all those threats seriously and doing all we can with those."

Evil old hag Taylor Lorenz said she felt "joy" at the execution of the UHC CEO.

Quick Hits

After being trashed by the Canadian press for bending the knee to Trump and showing he's a weakling, the bastard son of Communist thug Fidel Castro offered a Strong statement that he would "respond" if Trump follows through on his pledge to slap a 25% tariff on all Canadian imports unless our communist neighbors to the north help stop illegals and drugs flowing across the border.

... Canada will "respond to unfair tariffs in a number of ways, and we're still looking at the right ways to respond, but our responses to the unfair steel and aluminum tariffs were what ended up lifting those tariffs last time," he said.

Ted Cruz: Daniel Penny should sue the Soros out of Alvin Bragg.

"Alvin Bragg is an absolute catastrophe. First, he indicted Donald Trump in a partisan case, and then he indicted Daniel Penny for saving the lives of other subway passengers from a deranged lunatic threatening to kill everyone," Cruz said in the statement. "Penny should sue Bragg for malicious prosecution and hold this rogue Soros prosecutor accountable."

I don't know what the rules of a malicious prosecution lawsuit might be, or if Bragg is protected by sovereign immunity or what. I sure wish Penny could sue him and win bigly.

America's Groomer Dad Tim Walz, a self-estimated "knucklehead," said he was totally surprised by Trump's victories because the hand-picked, professionally-curated attendees at his silly rallies were totally onboard with him and Kamala.

"It felt like at the rallies, at the things I was going to, the shops I was going in, that the momentum was going our way, and it obviously wasn't," Walz told KSTP-TV's Tom Hauser, as the Washington Examiner reported. "So, yeah, I was a little surprised."

It's easy to argue that Walz's surprise is due at least in part to the fact that Democrats stay within their bubbles far too often. Friendly interviews, failure to associate with anyone who doesn't fall in line with left-wing values, and a blind belief that only leftists are virtuous and right make for surprise when a leftist finds out that people who disagree with him exist.

One can excuse Walz for sounding like a typical cosseted leftist for his surprise that the American electorate didn't welcome him and Harris with open arms, but the reason he thinks the ticket lost is downright laughable. You might want to sit down for this if you aren't already.

"I really, I thought we had a positive message, and I thought the country was ready for that," he told Hauser. No, seriously -- that's what he thinks.

Tim Walz's whole family went to the media to announce they were voting for Trump. I don't know how you lose your entire family but still convince yourself "America is with me."

President Trump's already delivering.

President-elect Donald Trump won't take office for another five weeks, but his election is already causing a sea change in America's illegal immigration crisis.

In sprawling migrant camps across Mexico City, people are giving up their plans to cross into the United States and are instead planning to settle in Mexico or begin the long trek back home.

'I'm just going to give up and go back to Venezuela,' said a woman in one of the squalid encampments, where thousands of migrants have constructed tents with tarps and scrap material.

'I have children to take care of,' she added. 'I'll just go back because, with Donald Trump, it's going to be too hard.'

This is a cruel reality for millions of people drawn to Mexico by the Biden administration's indulgent border policies -- only to find that Americans overwhelmingly rejected the misguided approach in the 2024 election.

The young mother of two had hoped to have already entered the US through President Joe Biden's 'humanitarian parole' program known as CBP One.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reported that, since January 2023, the federal initiative has allowed entry into the US for 771,000 migrants, at a rate of about 1,600 people a day. But that program was also quickly overwhelmed by the volume of requests resulting in a massive backlog.

Now, the Trump transition team says the program will end on Day One of the new administration.

Elon Musk wants all federal workers to actually come back to work. Not only does he personally believe in the importance of actual physical presence in a workplace, but he figures that many federal workers will quit rather than start working normal office hours again, thus giving him a bunch of self-firing bureaucrats.

But the federal employees union, which must be decertified by Congress, is pushing back.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000 federal and Washington city workers, said assertions that staffers are abusing work-from-home flexibility are serving as cover for Republican lawmakers to try to tear down the government.

...

"Exaggerating the number of federal employees who telework and portraying those who do as failing to show up for work is a deliberate attempt to demean the federal workforce and justify the wholesale privatization of public-sector jobs," AFGE said on its website.

...

At issue is a report on telework released by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) last week, which she shared with other senators. The report is expected to bolster efforts by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, an outside group led by tech mogul Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, to have federal employees back in the office five days a week.

"For years, I have been tracking down bureaucrats relaxing in bubble baths, playing golf, getting arrested, and doing just about everything besides their job," Ernst said in a statement. "Federal employees need to return to work, but if they don't want to, I will make their wish come true."

In her report, the Iowa senator said 90 percent of federal employees telework, while only 6 percent report to the worksite full time. In addition, close to one-third of staffers work remotely.

"If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%!" Musk said on social media last week, referring to Ernst's report.

While the GOPe continues to insist that the party be ruled by a gerontocracy hopelessly out of touch with today's actual party members -- and owned by corporate interests -- Democrats move to push their aging criminals out of committee leadership positions.

The Democratic Party is shaking up its committee leadership in the House of Representatives following its crushing November election defeat.

Despite failing to take back a majority, Democrats have retained their top leadership in the House of Representatives, tapping House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar to stay on in their current roles. Meanwhile, the knives have come out at the committee level, with a slew of Democratic representatives launching bids against more senior panel members for top committee posts.

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, 61, mounted a challenge against Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, 77, for the top role on the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 2, with Nadler ultimately dropping out of the race Wednesday amid a surge of support for his younger opponent.

"As our country faces the return of Donald Trump, and the renewed threats to our democracy and our way of life that he represents, I am very confident that Jamie would ably lead the Judiciary Committee as we confront this growing danger," Nadler wrote in a Dec. 4 Dear Colleague letter announcing he was dropping his bid.

...

The Nadler coup reportedly comes amid a push from Democratic lawmakers for generational change as the party faces a second Trump administration, according to The New York Times. Congressional leaders, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, allegedly lobbied Raskin to challenge Nadler following Raskin's efforts as a leading force in President-elect Donald Trump's 2021 impeachment and the Jan. 6 investigation, with Nadler's opponents arguing he wasn't fit for the task of taking on Republican House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

Democrat-Media Party Assassin Luigi Mangione: "This is clearly unjust, and an insult to the intelligence of the American people, and its lived experience!"

"Lived experience," you say? Sounds like someone's been drinking Woke doctrine.

He shouted out crazy nonsense to leftwing allies -- "reporters," I mean -- while being escorted to a bail hearing.

Bail was denied.

The left's new gay/bi boyfriend reportedly spiraled into madness due to a back injury and pain medication.

He also allegedly self-medicated with hallucinogens.

@EXECUTIVEXMEDIA

New details revealed on Luigi Mangione:

He broke his back on a hike. Got surgery, it was expensive, it didn't work perfectly. Started allegedly taking psychedelics to treat his chronic pain, lost his mind, decided health insurers are to blame.

Note well that he is a rich bitch princeling who attended a $40,000 per year private school, and whose parents are heirs to a resort fortune. His brother is a "top doctor."

None of his misfortune had anything to do with insurance.

Supposedly the back injury left him unable to have sex.

His thirsty childless cat lady femcel fans must be sad about that.

Kerry Picket: Wray Wants to Avoid Being Fired by Trump, Plans to Resign Before the Inauguration

The cowardly criminal wants that last flight on the FBI's private airline back to his home in New York.

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray plans to resign on or before Inauguration Day, The Washington Times has learned.

Mr. Wray is calling it quits because he doesn't want to get fired by President-elect Donald Trump, according to sources inside the bureau who are familiar with the director's thinking.

"He's going to be gone at the inauguration. On or before the inauguration," a source said.

The Deputy Director, Paul Abbate, had planned to stay on and appoint an acting director of the FBI until Trump's nominee was confirmed.

However, Grassley just published a blistering letter stating he has no confidence in Wray, and no confidence in Abbate, and Abbate should resign too.

Apparently Abbate is planning to resign.

Mr. Grassley's letter changed Mr. Abbate's plans, and he is now looking for an alternate acting deputy director to appoint.

Former chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and RussiaGate Hoax Debunker Devin Nunes says he's worked with Kash Patel and thinks Patel is the right pick for cleaning up the FBI.

President-elect Trump's nomination of Kash Patel as FBI director has sparked a frenzy of outrage from the fake news media. I'm sure none of this surprises Kash, who has faced it all before.

Fake news outlets don't typically attack congressional staffers by name, but years ago they made an exception for Kash. At the time, he was my lead staff investigator on the House Intelligence Committee as we examined allegations that President Trump had colluded with Russia to hack the 2016 presidential election.

We quickly began uncovering evidence that the entire Russia collusion narrative was a hoax funded by the Democratic Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign and weaponized by our own intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Shockingly, the abuses included the Department of Justice and FBI providing false information to a secret court to get a warrant to spy on Trump campaign associate Carter Page.

Back then, Kash was an outstanding sleuth and a bulldog investigator who drew on his own experience as a DOJ prosecutor to figure out what misdeeds these corrupt officials were committing. To get the evidence, we had to overcome their ceaseless stonewalling, over-classification of documents, and countless other tricks and maneuvers they employed to bury the truth.

Fake news reporters and "resistance" bureaucrats understood the evidence we found undermined their hoax narrative, so they launched an all-out jihad against Kash, with anonymous sources accusing him of committing every conceivable atrocity known to man.

The attacks on Kash went beyond these information warfare operations--in a face-to-face meeting with us, top DOJ officials, who apparently didn't appreciate their dirty laundry being aired, threatened to subpoena Kash's communications. What we only found out years later was that they had already seized Kash's emails, along with those of other congressional staffers investigating the collusion hoax, including staffers for Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

So the DOJ and FBI spied on Kash Patel because he was rolling up their crime network.

I'm sure he won't take that personally or anything, though.

In sum, the DOJ secretly spied on their own constitutionally mandated overseers to find out what we knew and how we knew it.

You can imagine how intimidating it would be for a staffer to be directly threatened by top-level Department of Justice officials. But Kash could not be bullied. He was fearless, methodical, and intelligent, and ultimately played a decisive role in exposing the most consequential and damaging hoax in American history.

...

Kash understands surveillance abuses and intimidation tactics because he experienced them himself -- and he never backed down.

If you want an FBI director who will go along to get along, you're better off with someone else. If you want a director who will follow the Constitution and transform the bureau into an impartial, trustworthy law enforcement agency that zealously goes after criminals instead of political targets, then Kash is, bar none, the right man for the job.

Amy Klobochar is fighting for some extraconstitutional power to insist that the criminal Wray remain in is position as boss of the FBI crime family. Ron DeSantis says that's not how it works.

White House Officials: Trump Has Cucked Joe Biden So Completely He's Now the Currently Serving President

First he took Corrupt Joe's dignity, then he took his wife. Now he's taking his office ahead of schedule.

Joe Biden is president of the United States for 42 more days. But within the Democratic Party, on Capitol Hill -- and even within his own administration -- it feels like he left the Oval Office weeks ago.

Biden has effectively disappeared from the radar in the wake of Democrats' bruising electoral loss. Since Nov. 5, he's largely stuck to prepared remarks, avoided unscripted public appearances or press questions and opted to sit out the raging debate over Donald Trump's victory, policy conversations in Congress and the Democratic Party's future.

So pretty much like his entire fake presidency.

"He's been so cavalier and selfish about how he approaches the final weeks of the job," said a former White House official.

Across nearly two weeks abroad since the election, Biden spoke just seven words to the media traveling with him. He has yet to schedule a post-election press conference, as Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush did when they were on their way out of office. He went to the Rose Garden to publicly praise a cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah, met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and spoke to the press Sunday about Bashar Al-Assad fleeing Syria, but otherwise his post-election domestic schedule has been filled with events such as honoring the 2024 NBA champions, thanking longtime supporters at a South Lawn dinner and participating in a Friendsgiving event.

Biden's low profile since the election has contributed to the sense of rudderlessness that's taken hold across swaths of Washington, as lawmakers, aides and party officials brace for Trump's return to power and seek a new direction and vision ahead of the midterms and 2028.

...

"There is no leadership coming from the White House," one Democrat close to senior lawmakers stated bluntly. "There is a total vacuum."

...

[T]he void at the top has alarmed Democratic officials who worry and the country is heading toward next year without a concrete plan for combating Trump -- or even tangible motivation to put up much of a fight. POLITICO spoke to almost two dozen party officials, lawmakers, current and former White House aides and other Democratic staffers for this story, some of whom were granted anonymity in order to offer their candid assessment.

"Elections have consequences -- It's a new sheriff in town," Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said.

...

"In conversations that I'm having, they don't even mention the president. It's kind of sad," said the Democrat close to senior lawmakers. "It feels like Trump is president already."

...

"Democrats in Washington just want to get him and the people around him out the door," said the former White House official. "All he's done in the last year has hurt the party every step of the way."

The article speculates about the reasons for Biden's vegetative state. They fail to grasp that his vegetative state might be caused by the fact that he's actually a vegetable.

The reasons for Biden doing what he did for four years -- hiding in a basement, allowing his atrocious wife and vile Obama staffers illegally run the government -- are, they figure:

1, Biden knows that people don't want to hear from him. True enough.

2, Biden is still angry the party knifed him in the back and feels no obligation to put himself out for the sake of his betrayers.

3, Biden's entire 2020 candidacy and his entire argument for his 2024 re-election was how terrible it was that Trump didn't accept the results of the rigged election, so he feels some obligation to behave as he promised to do and deliver a smooth transition. If he is too overt in his attempts to sabotage Trump, then he'll look like he's as big a conscienceless liar as we already know he is.

Jammie Wearing Fool said that Trump should be sworn in on December 25th so that we'll have Trump as president on Christmas. I see no flaws in this plan.

This woman, who gave the Sikh Prayer at the RNC, is Harmeet Dhillon (@pnjaban), is one of the most important conservative activists and lawyers in America:

-She filed lawsuits to stop Stay-at-home order during COVID
-Defended James Damore when google fired him
-Sued Antifa on behalf of @MrAndyNgo
when he was assaulted
-Sued on behalf of College Republican when Berkley cancelled Ann Coulter's speech
-Sued to stop Hawaii's COVID quarantine orders
-Was a legal advisor on Trump's 2020 campaign
-Filed a lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente on behalf of Chloe Cole (@ChoooCole) for damage done by gender transition surgery and puberty blockers
-Served as Chair of the San Fransisco Republican Party
-She is the Co-Chair of "Women for Trump"
- She represented South Bay United Pentecostal Church other Churches when Gavin Newsome shut down churches during COVID. (She won injunctive relief from the Supreme Court in 2021)
-Her firm filed a lawsuit the City of San Jose, when they demanded people purchase insurance and pay fees to own firearms.
-Worked with Center for American Liberty, Thomas More Society attorneys, and Nebraska malpractice attorney Jeff Downing, to sue the University of Nebraska Medical Center on behalf of Luka Hein for the damage done by childhood gender transition
-The Dhillon Law Group was hired by the Republican National Committee to file a lawsuit against Google fir discrimination against the RNC
-Her firm won a $100,000 against Spreckles School District for transitioning a girl behind her parents back

*******

The list of things that she's done on behalf of Republican and Conservative causes goes on and on.

The vitriol, hate, mockery, derision, and general malice directed toward her is utter nonsense. She has had a spine of steel in taking on causes that other law firms were afraid to touch including COVID restrictions, Schools Transitioning kids, and the Medical Transition of minors.

She has taken on a leftist machine of Universities, government, corporate entities, and pharmaceutical companies...and she's been getting wins. To attack her now for her faith, clothing, or her skin color is to stab her in the back after she risked her entire career taking on lawsuits on behalf of conservative causes that nobody else would touch.

I'm a Pentecostal Christian, but I don't need to agree with her faith to stand by the character of the woman.

I stand by Harmeet Dhillon 100%.

What a great pick -- and putting her in charge of the Civil Rights division is just perfect. So much toxic racism comes out of that division. The left must be absolutely freaking that their DEI fiefdom is now in very capable enemy hands.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

In the grand scheme of the monstrously out-of-control spending to which the federal government is addicted, foreign aid is not huge, but it is perhaps the most offensive! Americans in dire need after natural disasters are nickel-and-dimed by officious and process-fixated federal disaster organizations like FEMA. Hell, there is a federal department specifically designed to assist Americans with navigating the labyrinth! The Disaster Assistance Improvement Program. That's nuts! And trying to get federal assistance through various other programs like the VA or Medicaid or the dozens of temporary assistance programs is a descent into a Catch-22, or a Russian novel!

Sending our tax dollars to foreign lands while simultaneously borrowing trillions of dollars each year to fund the federal government is an obscene insult, and perhaps America has had enough!

Musk Signals Support for Eliminating Foreign Aid

[...] Musk wrote that DOGE “will address this with full transparency for the American people.”

Ramaswamy also weighed in, saying that “Much of U.S. foreign aid isn’t even authorized by Congress.”

Humanitarian assistance is just one form of foreign aid the United States provides. Others include the direct provision of commodities and equipment, technical assistance, funding for infrastructure, and support for foreign governments and international organizations.

According to the Congressional Research Service, Congress appropriated $66.1 billion in foreign assistance for fiscal year 2023.

One of the clearest signals of a government that is out of control is multiple streams of funding through multiple departments to accomplish the same goal. We have overlapping programs that simply pump money into foreign governments and NGOs without oversight. And while Congress may have appropriated money for foreign aid, the people who decide which countries get it are more often than not unelected bureaucrats with a clear agenda that does not mesh with the desires of the American people.

And even with clear direction from Congress, it's mostly wasted! $6,000,000 in 2022 to boost Egyptian tourism?

When the security of Ukraine's border has a higher priority than our own border, something is broken. When Americans have no clean water three months after a devastating hurricane, something is broken. When our bridges are falling down and our roads are crumbling, something is broken.

Absent a clear national security need, there should be no foreign aid dollars spent by Congress until our own budget reflects the needs of Americans first.

The Morning Report — 12/10/24

Good morning kids. On the one hand, it was indeed a joyous moment yesterday when a NYC jury acquitted Daniel Penny of all charges in what amounted to a state-sanctioned high-tech lynching of a politically inconvenient enemy of said state. By state I don't mean New York, but of the anti-American Leftist/Democrat enterprise in and out of government that seeks the destruction and dissolution of this nation as founded. Considering the city of New York is one of its epicenters, it is indeed miraculous that a jury of 12 decent people was able to resist what must have been titanic pressures brought on them and bravely deliver real justice to a hero. Look, this whole thing is a tragedy and a signpost of the moral and societal decay in service of those with a will to power measured in lives destroyed and potential wasted. Among those lives was Jordan Neely himself, the psycho who should not have been walking the streets and whose derangement no doubt can be traced back to a broken home and the Democrat welfare state that broke it in the first place. Of course, that highly inconvenient truth was the reason Daniel Penny had to be railroaded in the first place.

Violent criminals and drug addicts don’t wake up one day as such, they’re groomed by a multitude of unfortunate circumstances as children. Neely suffered as a child growing up in an abusive household. He later testified at trial after his mother’s boyfriend murdered her and stuffed her into a suitcase to dispose of the body. For over a decade, Neely took his frustrations out on society by terrorizing his fellow New Yorkers.

So, when I see a father tell the world at the end of the tragic game that “we” need to “do something,” my question is: Where was he all this time?

Where was Andre Zachary when his son was arrested over 40 times, including multiple violent offenses?Where was he when Neely was struggling to mourn his mother’s loss? Where was his father when Neely was abandoned in the foster care system with no one to advocate for him? And why is America being held responsible for Zachary’s fatherhood failures? It’s convenient for Zachary that Neely’s death involved a white person and occurred on camera.

In a not wholly unrelated story, the manifesto of the man who assassinated the United Healthcare CEO in cold blood has been revealed. And his mind too had been warped by Democrat/Leftist poison. The Great Society was a helluva drug, with a chaser of the 1619 Project, as was and is the Communist Manifesto,

Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reviewed “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto on the book reviews and recommendations website Goodreads, where he called Kaczynski a “prodigy,” adding, “violence is necessary to survive.”

Look, I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with people who think that by condemning cold-blooded murder, I'm somehow taking sides with a cruel, greedy, inept healthcare and insurance industry, which sadly in many instances it certainly is. And yet, despite its failings, there's none better in the world as I can personally attest. Are there ways to correct its failings that prevent people from becoming just another statistic, of course there are. But that's neither here nor there in terms of this discourse.

Anyone who cheers Mangione as a hero or puts him in the same league as Daniel Penny, should go hang out with this degenerate:

The Daniel Penny verdict has been met with threats by at least one high-profile activist hoping he would be convicted of killing Jordan Neely, who was threatening people on a New York City subway train last year.

After Penny was found not guilty of the criminally negligent homicide of Neely, the founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM) of Greater New York, Hawk Newsome, called on black people to attack white people in the city.

“We need some black vigilantes,” Newsome said during a press conference. “People wanna jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us.”

“We need some black vigilantes!”

Remember, oppression is a one-way street, and if you attempt to go down it, you'll be flattened faster than you can say Rachel Corrie Pancake Breakfast. Stay tuned for when President Trump pardons the J6 political prisoners.

In light of all these events and circumstances, here's a sad essay that underscores the rift that potentially can become the size of the grand canyon:

Don’t expect consistency when it comes to calls for political civility. When conservative activists go too far, calls for civility follow. When leftists misbehave and act uncivilly, we don’t hear much about civility.
. . . This is epitomized by a recent AP report about events on Mount Desert Island in the small seaside town of Northeast Harbor, Maine. . . Yet, some Northeast Harbor residents are awfully nasty to other Northeast Harbor residents. They are especially nasty toward Leonard Leo, a conservative organizer and philanthropist, and former head of the Federalist Society. He is part of a movement that seeks to preserve what has made America a great nation and a land of opportunity for everyone who has arrived on its shores. 

It bothers noisy uncivil leftists in Northeast Harbor that Leo has taken up residence in the town. For good measure, Leo has the gall to become one of the largest supporters of charities on the island, funding the local hospital, library, church, and housing trust.

But to the Leftists in Northeast Harbor, if you disagree with them, you should not be allowed to live in their neighborhood or attend their church. Your charitable donations that provide housing and medical care for the needy should be rejected. And worst of all, you should not be allowed to enjoy the tranquility of your home.

. . . Consider Caroline Pryor, a 65-year-old woman from Northeast Harbor. She participates in loud, nasty protests at Leonard Leo’s home. That’s right, his home. According to the AP:
They came armed with a cartoonish life-sized puppet of Leo, a rainbow arch for runners to pass through, and blue and pink chalk with which they scribbled slogans — “You Are Amazing, Leonard Leo Is Not” — across the road. They rang cowbells as a boombox blasted Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and Queen.
As the Associated Press reported, their “goal was lofty: Convince Leo to leave.”
Those same radicals have also tried to convince the various organizations supported by Leo’s charitable giving to return his money. One resident, Susan Covino Buell, actually resigned her position with the Island Housing Trust, a nonprofit that seeks “to boost the amount of affordable housing on the island,” merely because it accepted Leo’s donations.
If Buell believes that charities should consider the politics of their donors, does she also believe that when they are considering who they will help, charities should take politics into account and refuse to help anyone who disagrees with her views? 

Let me state for the record that , owing to my family's personal history, and what is happening to Jews around the world today and most alarmingly here in the US, that I reserve the right to defend myself by any and all means necessary up to and including lethal force should that be necessary. I hope and pray I am never in that kind of situation.

I think it is mission critical for Kash Patel and a completely disinfected FBI and DoJ to go after BLM, Antifa, SJP and most crucially their sources of funding as well as whoever is giving them political cover within the government, the bureaucracy or even in Congress. The FBI of old dismantled the KKK, they can do it again and must.

Hopefully the disinfection process is beginning:

When Zach Schoffstall, a former supervisory senior resident agent in the FBI’s Salt Lake City Division, heard his bosses wanted to focus more on “domestic terrorism” and “hate crimes,” he tried to work with them. He brought the U.S. Attorney in Idaho two hate crime cases. 
The U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) declined to prosecute both. Instead, Schoffstall told the Daily Caller, the Attorney for the District of Idaho, Josh Hurwit, said he was more interested in appeasing the Biden administration by hosting seminars to talk about hate crimes. Later on, when the FBI pushed Schoffstall to execute a search warrant against a “domestic extremist” group protesting LGBTQ activists, he refused. It eventually cost him his career. . . “It would appear from our investigation, [Patriot Font] went to great lengths to prevent anyone from committing an act of violence,” Schoffstall said. “They would suspend people for talking about it. They’d kick them out.

Meh, this so-called Patriot Front turns out mostly to be government confederates parading around in the same khakis, polo shirts and MAGA hats. Naturally Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland had to invent them because they can't go after the real terrorists of BLM and Antifa since they are the unofficial official junta enforcers.

It is good to see that given the corruption of the Deep State, that there was at least one man who refused to go along to get along and give the Seig Heil salute.

Have a good day.

Daily Tech News 10 December 2024

Top Story

• The Raspberry Pi 500 is here for $90. (Liliputing)
  
  The Pi 500 is to the Pi 5 what the Pi 400 was to the Pi 4. That is, it's a computer in a keyboard based on the Raspberry Pi 5.
  
  It's twice as fast as the Pi 4 and has twice as much memory. It's capable enough for basic computing and not just a novelty.
  
  It also almost has an M.2 slot. Which is to say it doesn't have one at all, but it has a place where one could go. In theory.
  
  The existing Pi 400 has received a price cut to $60.
  
  The Pi 500 will be available in a kit including a mouse and power supply for $120.
  
  At the same time Raspberry Pi announced a 15" 1080p monitor for $100.
