Democrat feminist and Latina lesbian accused of sexual harassment of women, including one woman she forced against the wall while gripping the victim's throat.
" " " Allegedly. " " " (Touches finger to nose.) What the **** is going on in Utah?Four people from Utah political circles -- three of them elected officials -- accuse Eva Lopez Chavez, a Salt Lake City Council member and Democratic congressional candidate, of restraining them during what they considered unwanted sexual advances. Victoria Petro, who is Lopez Chavez's fellow City Council member; Maggie Regier, who worked on Stan Penfold's mayoral campaign in 2019; Hoang Nguyen, who is now a state representative; and Jen Plumb, now a state senator, described their allegations in interviews with The Salt Lake Tribune. Each person said their allegations arose in social settings before Lopez Chavez joined the City Council in 2023. Petro, Regier and Nguyen said they told others at the time, which The Tribune confirmed. None of the four reported the interactions to police or spoke about them publicly until now. They said they decided to come forward, in part, because of Lopez Chavez's candidacy for Congress in Utah's new 1st District and after her reaction to newly disclosed online posts that fellow candidate Nate Blouin made between 2009 and 2015, including statements that minimized sexual assault. ... In September 2022, Petro said, she and other council members went to a party after the wedding of a former council member. At the event, Petro alleges, Lopez Chavez grabbed her by the throat, "pushed me back against a pillar so that my back was against the wall and told me, 'The only reason I still f--- men is because a woman hasn't shown me what I really want.'"I seem to remember a lot of male sexual assailants contacting their victims later and using the same kind of language -- "hey, I heard you remember things differently than I do, let's meet so I can convince you you're insane."
Petro said she froze, but remembers pushing Lopez Chavez's hand away and walking away. She said she told Puy about what she considered to be an assault. Puy confirmed she talked to him shortly after the party, and, he said, Petro "was kind of shocked at what had happened." In her interview with The Tribune, Petro asked, "If a man had done that to me, would there be a question if it was assault or not?" When Lopez Chavez ran for City Council in 2023, Petro said, she told a few of Lopez Chavez's supporters about what she alleges occurred. Once Lopez Chavez won her council race, the two women met for lunch and Lopez Chavez, Petro said, told her to stop telling people her story. "At that point, I said, 'You shouldn't have given me a story to tell,'" Petro said. "It's my story." ... State Sen. Jen Plumb, D-Salt Lake City, alleges Lopez Chavez pushed her against a wall at a friend's birthday party in November 2022. "It absolutely was a sexual advance. She leaned into me, grabbed onto my a--, got up in my face and said in my ear, 'You're sure you're straight?'" Plumb said. "I just pushed her away. Come on. Knock it off." Plumb said she mostly dismissed it at the time, but now sees it differently. "I've got to do some work on why I saw it that way, but I would not be comfortable with someone doing that to my daughter, to my mom, my best friends," Plumb said, "and I'm not comfortable with it being brushed away anymore." ... Plumb provided The Tribune with what she said were her most recent text messages from Lopez Chavez. One was an invitation to an event in June 2025, which Plumb said she declined.
She received the second one in February, she said, when Lopez Chavez wrote she had "heard some feedback regarding how you express our professional relationship that doesn't align with my experience" and wanted to meet to discuss it. Plumb, according to the messages she shared, did not respond.
Nguyen, who is now a state representative, said Lopez Chavez attended a campaign event for Plumb in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City in 2022. As Nguyen was leaving the party, she said, Lopez Chavez asked for a ride to her car. After she drove a few blocks, Nguyen said, Lopez Chavez told her to pull over -- which she did, believing they had arrived at her car. "Next thing I know she has leaned over and she's on top of me, holding my shoulders down," Nguyen said in an interview. "I said, 'What are you doing?' And she said, 'Kiss me,'" Nguyen said. "She said, 'I'm not going to get off you until you kiss me.' I gave her a peck and she got off." The next day Nguyen told a mutual friend. The person, a prominent Salt Lake City business owner and community volunteer, confirmed the version of events to The Tribune, which agreed not to name the business owner because they fear retribution.That one might not be all that serious, compared to the others, but it does demonstrate a consistent pattern of aggressive sexual assault. She even goes after they/thems.
Regier, who uses they/them pronouns, was working on Stan Penfold's mayoral campaign in 2019 when they went to a Human Rights Campaign fundraising event that Lopez Chavez was also attending, they said. Regier said Lopez Chavez was being "flirty" and led them around the room by the wrist. Regier tried to deflect Lopez Chavez's attention and excuse herself from the situation, they said, but Lopez Chavez pulled Regier "into a literal corner in the hallway" and pinned them against the wall, refusing to let them leave. A friend of Regier's stepped in and separated them, they said. Later, Regier was with a friend on the dance floor, they said, "and [Lopez Chavez] was kind of trying to grab on to me and another friend physically stepped between us and pushed her off of me and was like, 'Leave Maggie alone.'"So close to Pride Month?!?! SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH, EVA?!!
She denies these allegations -- um, facts -- through her lawyer. Her lawyer, without an ounce of shame, peddles the same "I have other emails in which the victims do NOT accuse her of sexual assault, so that means no sexual assault must have occurred" line that has not worked for male offenders for a decade. She's Average-Plus looking, a Chipolte 5.25 (they use metric), which I do not think is much consolation to the straight women she sexually assaulted.

She looks Asian despite the Italian last name but I'm going to apply Ivy League Admissions rules: You're white enough, bitch. Besides, in the next article I'll link, rich white bitches are talking up how great shoplifting is.
A longtime staff writer for the New Yorker known for bashing capitalism bragged that she has stolen from her local Whole Foods "on several occasions" in a New York Times podcast. Jia Tolentino, 37, made the shocking admission while joining left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and Times' opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman for a Wednesday episode about so-called "microlooting" from mega-corporations.
Ah, the Ghetto Democrat line that it's okay to rob stores during riots because "they're insured." (No, they're not. Almost no one insures their stock. Stealing it is just taking money out of their pockets. And even if it were insured, you'd be forcing them to pay higher insurance rates.)
Examples tossed around by the trio ranged from everyday consumers sharing passwords for streaming services to brazen criminals pilfering paintings from the Louvre Museum. When Spiegelman suggested pocketing produce from Whole Foods, Tolentino confessed she already had "on several occasions." The scribe said one of her duties as a member of her ritzy Brooklyn neighborhood's mutual aid group was to buy groceries for one of her neighbors, Miss Nancy. "And so I'd be getting Miss Nancy all of her groceries, and then I would finish, and I'd be like, oh my God, four lemons, I forgot four lemons. And on several occasions I was like, I'm just going to go back in, grab those four lemons and get the hell out," Tolentino said. "At the time I was like, I had not been to Whole Foods. I had a bit more consumer discipline about where I was spending my money then, and I already felt like I was in the hole, even by shopping there. And it certainly felt, in a utilitarian sense, I was like, this is not a big deal," she added. ... Piker then brushed aside her apparent shoplifting, saying that mega-corporations like Whole Foods have already "factored in" the loss of simple produce so that it won't impact their bottom line.
From Instapundit, which also links this article from Hot Air about New York magazine celebrating shoplifting as Empowering for Princess.
Piker, a self-proclaimed Communist, also endorsed "full chaos" of shoppers "stealing wantonly" and wholly bypassing the self-checkout machines. When pressed on stealing from government-run grocery stores, like one planned by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Piker and Tolentino faltered. "No, I would not, because I feel like that's taxpayer-funded, it's union labor, and the prices are also adjusted regardless," Piker said.
At Whole Foods, you are apparently being monitored by a swarm of security officers, some of whom wander the aisles in plain clothes, and the company's surveillance tech is improving. When security officers catch you, they will take you to Whole Foods Jail. Sometimes with glee. The Union Square Whole Foods jail is a windowless storage closet near the entrance, says Astrid, a photographer. She mostly remembers the wallpaper: "Layers and layers of grainy faces," she tells Nora Deligter. "All the thieves that had come before me." A sculptor we'll call Gina found herself in the Bowery Whole Foods Jail. She was late to an Alex G concert at Bowery Ballroom and had decided to slip into Whole Foods for a quick spicy-tuna-roll walk-and-dine. She had a system: Approach the item with confidence, grab it, then head upstairs to the dining area and surreptitiously place it into her bag. But this time, she headed straight for the exit. "A rookie mistake," Gina says. Gina remembers keeping her head bowed and her eyes low as she was escorted back to Whole Foods Jail. The windowless office was almost too bland to recall, she says, except for a rudimentary banner, that read: ALL SHOPLIFTERS ARE BANNED FROM WHOLE FOODS FOR LIFE. A few weeks later, Gina says her parents received a $90 ticket in the mail from the company.New York Magazine gives a glowing profile of one such shoplifter, and decries the fact that Whole Foods seems to have a problem with people stealing its food. How cruel! She was made late to a concert. She paid a lot for those tickets!

In testimony before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association, Sheila Clark, didn't want to bust the chops of California officials, but said there are too few checks and balances over the alleged businesses claiming to run hospice organizations. She told the gape-mouthed crowd, "You'd be amazed at how many hospices -- the door you can walk up to in California -- and nobody's there." ... But Clark wasn't done with her observations about those empty "hospice" offices.California is acting decisively to end the problem. And when I say "the problem," I do not of course mean the problem of Democrat voters bilking the US taxpayers out of hundreds of billions in plunder. I mean the problem of people noticing that Democrat voters have leared to bilk the US taxpayers out of hundreds of billions in plunder.There is five months worth of mail that you can see stacked up from CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] and nobody's there. And that passed a survey! How did that happen? How do you put a hospice in a burrito stand in California? How do you put a hospice in a tire store in California? That all had to be vetted through licensure and certification and accreditation.
Who's minding the burrito stand, anyhoo? Not California, though Gavin Newsom keeps touting how he cut off 280 licensees but failed to notice that "hospice" centers have exploded by 1,500% in recent years in his state. Newsom also missed how most of the nation's hospice centers are in L.A. County. He also missed that building in L.A. County with 89 hospice centers, most of which are unattended.

@nickshirleyy Apr 18 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. This bill AB 2624 will: - Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown - Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential - Take away freedom of the press from journalists - Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc) This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

Before getting to those clips: domestic abuser and truly gross swamphag Katie Porter was asked what grade she'd give Newsom on homelessness. She responded she's a "tough grader" -- she keeps bringing up her profession as a teacher, because wow that is so impressive -- and so would only give Newsom a "B."
Front-running Republican Steve Hilton could not believe the crap pouring out of Katie Porter's shitmouth.OvertonOh of course -- Newsom talked about housing. Democrats, infamously, consider it to be real progress if you talk endlessly about a claimed problem and never make a single step towards improving the situation. A B. Homelessness has not only exploded under Newsom, but the homeless are dying by the dozens because Newsom allows them to openly shoot up heroin and fentanyl on the streets and carve out Homeless Drug-Addict Enclaves in formerly-thriving neighborhoods.
@overton_news 14h Democrat Katie Porter told the debate moderator she's a "notoriously tough grader" -- then proceeded to give Gavin Newsom a 'B' on homelessness. Republican Steve Hilton could not believe what he just heard and he ROASTED her on the spot. MODERATOR: "What grade would you give him on homelessness? And what, if anything, would you do differently?" PORTER: "I'm a notoriously tough grader, but I would probably give a him a 'B' on homelessness." "I don't think this has been an easy problem to solve, but I do give him a lot of credit for calling attention to the problem." "When he campaigned 8 years ago, he was talking about housing when nobody else was." HILTON: "Wow!" "By the way, I'd love to be in your class, Katie, if you get a 'B' for what Gavin Newsom's done on homelessness!" "MY GOODNESS!"

Susan Crabtree
@susancrabtree 14h ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️All the Dem candidates for Calif. governor give Gavin Newsom an A or a B on his effort to reduce homelessness. Matt Mahan gives him a B- for effort but a D for implementation. And wow -- Becerra says he would give $$$ to people who lose their jobs so they can maintain rent or their mortgage. The debate host questions where is the money going to come from. ??? Becerra says it won't cost much compared to the money we've spent fighting homelessness. HUH? "How can I help you keep your home? Because it costs me so much more money to pick you off the streets, provide you with the assistance and the shelter..." Does he mean he's going to stop spending recklessly on homelessness and concentrate on throwing money at people who lose their jobs? Hilton gives Newsom an "F" and rightfully says homelessness is a mental health and addiction problem, and he would stop all the billions of $$$ going to homelessness nonprofits that get ripped off.
Katie PavlichKatie Porter lectured Chad Bianco, who is Hispanic, about his distressing hatred of Brown People.
@KatiePavlich 14h Democrats wanting to be governor in California won’t say whether truck drivers should be able to speak English and read road signs to get a CDL. Instead, Steyer and Becerra say they are focused on prosecuting those who "engage in racial profiling"
Susan Crabtree
@susancrabtree 14h Katie Porter gives a man named Chad Bianco a lecture on racism because he supports giving truck drivers language proficiency and knowledge tests when it comes to basic road signs to avoid fatal and near-fatal road crashes. "I am stunned that Mr. Bianco would say to black and brown Californians and immigrants who are being terrorized and racially profiled that you have to get over racism." "It's not something that you get over. It's something that you fight. And if he doesn't understand the importance of that. He has no business representing a state with the diversity [that California has]." Bianco says that's not even close to what he's saying. "Californians are absolutely sick and tired of our politicians making race the basis of everything. It is not, and this racial divide that they are pushing between law enforcement and the public or Democrat and Republican, absolutely has to stop." "And I'm telling you, we are sick of it."

These Cultural Enrichment Colonizers got rather tame sentences of 8 and 9 years each for the brazen, out-in-the-open rape of a 15 year old child.
She begged passers-by for help. One woman stopped and asked "Are you all right?" She answered "No, help me, please help me, so many people have passed me by, please help me, I want to go home, please help me, they're going to rape me." We don't know what the woman did -- but the rape was completed. She may have just walked away, knowing for a stone-cold fact that if she intervened and took action against these VIP Invader Rapists she would be the one arrested.Two teenage asylum seekers from Afghanistan have been jailed after admitting to the rape of a 15-year-old girl in a U.K. park, officials have confirmed. According to police, the victim had been in Leamington in Warwickshire with friends on May 10 when they met Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal. The teenage girl began talking with them before they asked her to join them on a walk. They then led her to a park area known as Newbold Comyn, where they raped her, Warwickshire police confirmed in a statement released online. Two teenagers admit rape charges in UK court proceedings after a park attack. Following the attack, the teenager managed to flag down a passerby, who contacted local police. Detectives launched an investigation using CCTV footage and photographs the victim had taken on her phone earlier in the day. Officers were able to identify and arrest the two 17-year-old suspects. Jahanzeb and Niazal were charged with rape and later appeared before the youth court in Coventry, where they admitted the offense.It's extraordinary that even at this late date, news of immigrant rape has been so forcefully suppressed by the Quisling government that 15 year olds don't even know that Muslim asylum seekers have sky-high rates of rape and sexual assault offenses. Lawyers are blocking release of the audiotape of the rape victim's terrified pleas for help and mercy -- because it would cause riots were the public to hear it.
johnny Midnight ⚡️Release it. At some point, there must be riots. As the government of Queer Starmer refuses to stop the mass importation of foreign rapists due to the threat of the rapists already present rioting (as well as a desire to court the Foreign Rape Vote), the general public needs to communicate it the only way the cowardly UK government understands, and that is to riot themselves. Here's another story about the Rape Colonizers. Oh wait, my mistake, this is story about a completely different migrant Cultural Enforcement Officer. This is from March 27:
@its_The_Dr 13h This is all on Keir Starmer, a Disgusting POS! A British girl screams "HELP ME! THEY'RE GOING TO RAPE ME" as two Afghan asylum seekers drag her, which she recorded on her phone. Lawyers are Blocking the footage because "It would cause RIOTS across Britain" Gee I wonder why they would Riot? Maybe because they are Fed up!
An asylum seeker who abducted and raped a 12-year-old girl has been given a 16-year sentence. The attack by Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil last summer led to protests in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Jurors last month found the 23-year-old guilty of rape, abduction, sexual assault and taking an indecent video. He also pleaded guilty to a count of rape of a child under 13 ahead of the hearing at Warwick Crown Court in February. Mulakhil was told he would serve 15 years in prison and an extra 12 months on licence.Even left-liberal saps are outraged by this and suggesting that "Trumpian" responses may be required:

The decision halts the certification process, potentially blocking changes to Virginia’s congressional map, pending the outcome of the appeal. The new map, authorized in a close referendum on Tuesday, heavily favors the Democrats, likely handing the party another four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.At least in the near term, I don't expect this to be resolved before the midterms which was certainly why the evil commie bastards rammed this abomination through when they did. It's not just about Virginia, this vote had and might yet have national implications first of all to completely derail President Trump's remaining two years and then wipe out any national GOP aspirations going forward. Absolute power by every means at their disposal is the Left's ultimate goal, same as it ever was since time immemorial. Given the vicissitudes of a top down corrupted judiciary, this situation may yet go in the Democrats favor, but at least for now we may have dodged a pretty significant electoral/political bullet. All of that said, there has been much anger aimed at the GOP for being woefully unprepared for this vote, and rightfully so. For sure the party is at best useless and feckless and at worst collaborating with the Democrats on every level and on every issue. This in spite of the fact that Virginia and America in general is still a distinctly if not overwhelmingly conservative or non-crazy-leftist nation (or is it?). And for sure millions of dollars from the DNC and the usual Soros and other Leftist front groups were poured in to buy the victory. Yes the Virginia and National GOP have much to answer for but at the end of the day, despite all of the aforementioned, we can bitch and moan about the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites until the cows come home, but the reality is is that it's the voters who don't show up that bear the responsibility for yesterday's abomination. Surely Virginians were not clueless about the ramifications of losing this vote and yet how is it that this was able to pass? 'nuff said. Naturally the criminals who foisted this on us are warning us not to do unto them what they have done to us because that would be un"Democratic" shall we say. It is to vomit:
In a statement to PunchBowl News founder Jake Sherman, Hakeem Jeffries said that Republicans in Florida will suffer further losses if they move forward with redistricting.Aside from Democrats, speaking of invasive parasitic worms that destroy everything in their path:
“If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump’s dummymander in Texas,” he said.
“We will aggressively target for defeat Mario Díaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez, Kat Cammack, Anna Paulina Luna, Laurel Lee, Cory Mills and Brian Mast. We are prepared to take them all on, and we are prepared to win.” Jeffries added, “Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”
A destructive, fast-moving invader is wriggling its way into yards across the US, and officials say Californians should be on alert. Agriculture authorities are sounding the alarm over the Asian jumping worm, a highly invasive species that’s already been spotted in multiple states, including the Golden State. . . The worms are easy to spot, and hard to forget. They’re smooth, dark gray or brown, with a distinctive flat, milky-white band circling their bodies near the head. Bridging the gap between a gardener’s nightmare and a Klingon’s dream, reports indicate that the invasive Asian jumping worm can flip its body a foot into the air, a violent thrashing behavior that perfectly mirrors the legendary Star Trek delicacy, Gagh.Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
. ..With no reliable way to eliminate them once established, officials are urging residents to focus on prevention.

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. Now that the sweet, sweet flow of SPLC "research" money has dried up, the ONT no longer has the budget for totally organic grassroots protests. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. The bar is open.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace and Megyn free zone. Please.

This dog was paid $130,000 by the SPLC
to steal equipment from the Midnight Tennis league in Baltimore
This dog spent all day posting racist memes on Gab, under the direction of the SPLC, and boy are his arms tired.
These innocent-looking capybaras just took off their matching blue button-downs and tan khakis and are sore from marching around all day carrying tiki-torches (furnished to them by the SPLC). This dog is grinning because he just cashed a check for $30,000 for barking extra hard at black mailmen. This cat was returned home after spending six months as an SPLC "researcher" (which means he posted child porn on conservative message boards). This white dog fought off 13 coyotes and was denounced by the SPLC as a "racist ICE hound." The SPLC has secretly formed an airborne battalion of Flying Racists. This albino sea turtle complained about the forty remoras free-riding on him and was immediately put on the SPLC "hate map." He was shot and killed shortly thereafter. This white cerval was paid to infiltrate this rotweiler neighborhood and stir up trouble.

Robby Soave
@robbysoave I'm always flummoxed when mainstream news sources describe a lawsuit, indictment, or pertinent document without actually linking to it. The SPLC indictment isn't linked in New York Times, AP, BBC, The Guardian, or any of first 10 sources I checked. Just have to take their word for it.
Matt TaibbiOnly "very fine people" do it, you know.
@mtaibbi Making readers jump through hoops to find the full quote or original source document is a gross new propaganda technique.
The Rabbit HoleThe "virtual winery" owned by Ilhan Omar and her "husband," claimed to be worth millions, has been legally dissolved days after she amended her financial disclosures to say she's not a millionaire and it was just a big whoopsie to inflate her personal fortune. Didn't they prosecute Trump for that? Here, America's Sweetheart (TM) snaps at a reporter asking about the "revision" to her financials: "I don't have to tell you jack shit." BTW, what is a "virtual winery"? I don't know, but it's not a real winery, or else they would just say "winery." What I imagine is that it's a "winery" with no actual vinyard -- that is, it's just a label. They buy wine from others -- cheap wine, I'd bet -- slap a label on it, and sell it. You know what's interesting about wine? No one can say with legal precision how much a bottle of wine is worth. Much like Hunter Biden's watercolors, doncha know. Political sympathizers could maybe possibly "buy" cases and cases of greatly over-priced cheapo-beapo "virtual wine" to funnel bribes and illegal campaign contributions to a politician with a level of plausible deniability. Is that what happened here? I'm not saying. And neither is Ilhan Omar. She doesn't have to tell you jack shit. MSNOW's full-spectrum failure Alex Wagner -- they have repeatedly pushed her as a "star" influencer with millions of dollars of push, and she's failed every time -- forgives Tuq'r Qarlson and welcomes him as an ally in the Democrat War on America.

'This Is Hard For Me To Say': MS NOW's Alex Wagner Says Tucker Carlson's Trump Apology 'Feels' GenuineBut it will. He will follow his leader Nick Fuentes in actively campaigning for the Nazi Right to vote for Kamala Harris.
MS NOW's Alex Wagner admitted Tucker Carlson's apology for helping to elect President Donald Trump "feels" genuine, though she remains skeptical of how much help he could actually be to Democrats. ... "I do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we'll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be, and I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That's all I'll say," Carlson said. Wagner first said she was "cynical" about Carlson's declaration, though she eventually conceded that she feels the "tortured" Carlson was "genuine" in expressing remorse for throwing support behind Trump. She said:I guess it's welcome if overdue. Pardon me for being a little cynical about the mea culpa. Ari, this is someone who witnessed Trump stage and foment an insurrection at the Capitol and still went and campaigned for the man. Like, did you not think his narcissism was malignant in early January of 2021? Because I sure did. Like, here was a man that clearly was going to stop at nothing, including tearing down our own democracy, to regain power. So the idea that it's just dawned on him that this man's moral compass may not be pointing in the right direction, and he may not be operating with the most strategic manual is like maybe a little bit late and maybe a little bit not as genuine as I wish it was.She ultimately concluded the public break from Trump for Carlson was a purposeful move that he can't easily go back on. "This is hard for me to say, but it feels like the apology is genuine. And I also don't know that you can find your way back to supporting Trump once you've had that sort of emotional, sort of almost therapy-like session," Wagner said, adding, "I don't think it should be making Democrats think that Tucker Carlson is going to go out on the campaign trail for them just yet."

The referendum passed 51% to 49% in blue-as-ice Virginia. That doesn't sound like a coming Blue Wave to me.
But it did pass. And Democrats will use this power to increase their congressional delegation from six to five to 10 to one. But a judge says hold on -- this was all unconstitutional.Former Virginia attorney general and Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli II posted on X Wednesday about the gerrymandered map, "UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed."So to even vote this into a referendum, they needed a two-thirds majority vote, which they never even tried to get, so the referendum was never legally before the public. There are additional procedural defects, which have to do with timing and so bore me, but you can click the link to read about those.
The new map would almost certainly hand ten out of eleven congressional districts to Democrat control. This would impact not only Virginia, therefore, but the Republican-Democrat balance of power in the U.S. Congress. Cuccinelli had already predicted that the election results last night were not the final say on Virginia Democrats' gerrymandering. He noted that the "[f]irst passage was invalid," as the "amendment was taken up during a special session convened in 2024 for budget purposes. The General Assembly's own call to the Governor (under Art. IV, §6 and Art. V, §5) and its governing resolution (HJR 6001) limited the session's scope. Expanding it to include a constitutional amendment on redistricting required a two-thirds vote that never occurred." In light of this, a Tazewell County judge ruled that this action was "void, ab initio."
And finally, as a challenge to the proposed map, "Art. II, §6 requires that 'every electoral district shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory.' The proposed congressional maps violate this contiguity requirement (rather badly)," Cuccinelli wrote.The Democrats created a giant lobster-shaped district to mix their ultra-blue northeatern voters with red voters in the south and west of the state. It's barely "contiguous" and not "compact" at all, sprawling, as it does, across half the state, a three hour drive from one end to the other.

The Rate of Return on "racism" is incredible. "Racism" should be in everybody's investment portfolio!
And the political benefits -- incalculable!
Disinformation Expert LizzyI mentioned that the SPLC funded the fake "Unite the Right" rally that serves the Democrat-Media Complex's main op during the 2020 election. But I didn't know how deep SPLC's stage-managing of a "white supremacist rally" went.
@StarChamberMaid Not a bad investment: $270K--->$81.6M If only the left were that good with taxpayer money. SPLC should be dissolved and the officers thrown in jail.
We already knew that the "fine people" hoax was based on the lie that Trump called white supremacists "fine people," instead of, as he did, condemning them. But until yesterday, we didn't know that the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville and whose protest led to the death of one person were bused there on the Southern Poverty Law Center's dime, and were organized to be there by an SPLC "informer."They funded the riot, organized the riot, bused the marchers to the riot -- and then fundraised off of liberals, promising to stop the very organization that was their paid-for pet!

Now it becomes a bit clearer. The Atlantic published a vile and unsubstantiated hit piece on FBI Director Kash Patel right before he revealed an indictment of the SPLC for committing fraud by anonymously funding hate groups that organized "right-wing" rallies, one of which ended in the death of a bystander.Does Lauren Powell Jobs have some kind of many-years-old, pre-existing relationship with the SPLC? Coincidentally enough, she does!
Advertisement You know, the infamous Charlottesville rally upon which the "fine people" hoax was based. The Democrats and Pravda media, which have collaborated with the SPLC to smear conservatives for decades, are scrambling to defend the SPLC's illegal activities and, once again, smear Republicans for pointing out their perfidy. The Atlantic's hit piece on Patel, based entirely on anonymous sources and having no evidence to back them up, is obviously intended to "pre-bunk" anything Patel says. The claims in The Atlantic's story were bizarre. Kash Patel got blackout drunk. He was locked out of his computers. FBI agents considered using breaching equipment to force open his door, according to the report. He was unable to perform his duties because he was hungover. Etc. Etc.

The New York Times' attempt to wring sympathy out of us for people who should have had these fake "jobs" in the first place, and are now actually forced to work for a living instead of just relying on their Democrat contacts to give them well-paid, no-work political sinecures, is absurd.
These people were making almost $200,000 per year -- and then dishing out fat government contracts to their family members who just happened to be in the USAID grant check-cashing business themselves.A Year After U.S.A.I.D.'s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss$175,000 per year as a tick on the belly of the taxpayer while the husband was himself grifting off the grants shoveled to left-wing groups by USAID. And they want you feel their pain. I do feel their pain -- and it is exquisite.
People have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers estimate that less than half have found full-time work. She was fired by email while on maternity leave, given 24 hours to clear out her desk and left with three days of health insurance and no severance pay. She had worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development or related groups for more than two decades. She made $175,000 a year. That was Jan. 28, 2025. Today Amy Uccello and her husband, who also lost his job when U.S.A.I.D. funding for his nonprofit dried up, rely on food stamps, Medicaid and a supplemental nutrition program for women and children that helps with their now 19-month-old daughter. The mortgage on their home in Washington was until recently in forbearance, meaning they negotiated to pay less than they owed each month. But the bank has now cut them off and suggested they apply for a low-income mortgage program. "We don't know if we'll qualify," Ms. Uccello said. She and her husband have applied for more than 100 jobs with no luck. Most of their friends don't have jobs either.

"I have such sights to show you....
Here is a Walmart application."
Nights are the hardest. "I can't sleep because of our own situation," Ms. Uccello, 49, said over coffee on a recent afternoon. "I can't sleep because of what I know what's happening around the world. I can't sleep because my former colleagues and friends are also suffering."

"Your suffering will be legendary, even in Hell!
BTW, Learn to Code."
When the Trump administration dismantled the sprawling global aid agency last year, it wiped out virtually an entire industry -- international development -- that had been based in Washington since U.S.A.I.D.'s creation in 1961 under President John F. Kennedy. Nearly all of the agency's 16,000 employees were laid off. An estimated 280,000 contractors, partners and local hires worldwide lost their jobs as well. A year later, people have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with friends and relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers who have done informal surveys estimate that less than half have found full-time work, with many making less than before. An estimated third are unemployed. Others are in part-time work. The District of Columbia currently has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, at 6.7 percent, in large part because of major reductions in the federal work force, including U.S.A.I.D., and cuts to government grants and contracts.

The Cenobites of DOGE are demons to some, angels to others
I hear Kinko's is hiring
Jobs are also gone at the many nonprofits and partner agencies once funded by U.S.A.I.D. "Everyone I know is also up the creek, all my bosses, my mentors, the people you would normally go to, the people providing me references," said Catherine Baker, 36, who, as a contractor, made $127,000 a year recruiting staff and helping to start up U.S.A.I.D. projects. Ms. Baker now volunteers as a manager for OneAid, which helps former U.S.A.I.D. workers, and works nine hours a week as a companion for two elderly women.

Here is The Way: Bed Bath and Beyond.
I recommend "Beyond."
That's where I got my start.

U.S. officials first began to see the divisions after the first round of Islamabad talks, when it became clear IRGC commander Gen. Ahmad Vahidi and his deputies had rejected much of what Iran's own negotiators had discussed. The split broke into the open last Friday. When Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC refused to implement it -- and began publicly attacking him.
Someone must have put the Democrats in charge of Iran's finances because they're not paying Homeland Security. Or... so Trump says. I don't know. The mullahs will make sure the first and last pennies they have left are used to pay their secret police and terrorists.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
@SecScottBessent As @POTUS has made clear, the United States Navy will continue the blockade of Iranian ports. In a matter of days, Kharg Island storage will be full and the fragile Iranian oil wells will be shut in. Constraining Iran's maritime trade directly targets the regime's primary revenue lifelines. The @USTreasury will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically degrade Tehran's ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds. Any person or vessel facilitating these flows--through covert trade and finance--risks exposure to U.S. sanctions. We continue to freeze the funds stolen by the corrupt leadership on behalf of the people of Iran.

They didn't just pour money into "Unite the Right." They poured donor money into dozens of "far right"/"white supremacist" groups.
They claim they were "infiltrating" them. I say, they were creating the fake enemies they then fundraised off of. By pouring a few million into "far right"/"white supremacist" groups, they could in turn grift tens of millions from panicky pissbaby liberals terrified of the monsters the SPLC was itself funding and supporting. I know JJ covered this but I gotta!
U.S. Department of Justice
@TheJusticeDept 19h 🚨HAPPENING NOW: Justice Department announces indictment against Southern Poverty Law Center ("SPLC"). Our indictment alleges SPLC secretly funneled MORE THAN $3 MILLION in funds to members of white supremacist and extremist groups.
My guess that this was about embezzlement/misuse of funds was, I guess, borderline correct, but boy oh boy is the reality so much better than my guess. The SPLC is literally funding the white dragons they claim they're protecting us from!

BREAKING: A federal grand jury in Alabama charged the Southern Poverty Law Center with 11 counts of wire and bank fraud-related charges, the Justice Department announced, accusing the group of paying members of extremist groups as part of its efforts to investigate them.

The third I've read was not seized and wasn't damaged too badly but it has stopped movement.
The attacks were conducted by the "fast attack boats" -- speedboats converted for military use -- that for some reason we never dropped daisy-cutter bombs on. I don't know why. But while we observe a "cease-fire," they're shooting up ships and taking the crews hostage.Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, less than a day after President Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely until Tehran agrees to negotiate a new deal. The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that an IRGC gun boat approached and then fired on a container ship located 15 nautical miles northeast of Oman. That attack caused "heavy damage" to the ship's bridge, while no fires or environmental damage were reported and the crew was reported safe, according to the organization. Later in the day, UKMTO noted that an outbound cargo ship eight nautical miles west of Iran was fired upon and had to stop in the water. In that case, the crew was also safe and there was no reported damage to the vessel. The Fars News Agency in Iran, which is close to the IRGC, reported Wednesday morning that two "violating" ships were seized by the IRGC Navy and directed to the coast of Iran. It is unclear whether those ships are the same ones reported by the UKMTO. On Tuesday afternoon, Trump announced that he was extending the ceasefire with Iran until officials from the latter return to the negotiating table.This isn't going to appease Tucker Carlson and the Ron Paul crowd. It might, however, wind up costing Trump actual MAGA voters.
The attacks aren't just about the ships stopped. The attacks are about bottling up oil shipments, so that insurers won't insure them and the ships won't attempt to travel through the strait, so that the price of oil jumps up, our "allies" pressure us and American opinion forces Trump into conceding the war to Iran.
Trump says Iran is "collapsing." Well, may be, but why are you granting them a cease-fire so that they can regroup?
Dining Room of the White House, April 21, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) US President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that Iran was "collapsing financially" over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked three ships in the vital waterway that is blockaded by both Washington and Tehran. Trump's comments came hours after he announced he was indefinitely extending the two-week ceasefire with Iran, which had been conditioned on Iran lifting its blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran last week briefly lifted its blockade following the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, but reversed course after the US said it would maintain the blockade it had imposed on Iran-linked shipping on April 13, five days into the truce. "Iran is collapsing financially! They want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately," Trump wrote on Truth Social. The Islamic Republic is "starving for cash" and its military and police were "complaining that they are not getting paid," he claimed, adding: "SOS!!!"I'm sorry, I do not believe this. Iran is attacking shipping. This is not them saying "SOS." This is Iran attacking shipping. Yes, they are collapsing financially -- but that will take a while. In the meantime, they're attacking shipping, and for some reason, we're not blowing up their attack boats. Because of the "cease-fire" that only we are observing. Why are we not attacking the fast attack boats? Why are we not dropping air-burst bombs over their harbors? So we can "talk" to the Iranians who are plainly playing us for fools?
Like I said yesterday: Trump wants a deal. It is clear that Iran does not. They think they can win by outlasting him (and us). Trump continuing to talk deal, deal, deal just convinces them more and more that they're right that he doesn't have the perseverance to outlast them. For example, he's extending the cease-fire, even though Iran is now attacking ships again, because he says that the Iranian government is "fractured" and some parts of it want a deal and other parts don't. Well, I'm afraid we have to deal with the parts of the Iranian government that do not want a deal first. There is no point talking to the people who want a deal while the people who don't want a deal continue making war. Trump needs to change their minds. And giving them a ceasefire while prattling forever about how "close" we are to a deal is not changing their minds, it's convincing them they are right and Allah will see them through this. I don't even believe the talk of an imminent "deal" is able to fulfill its earlier purpose of stopping the price of oil from climbing too high. I think people have heard this song too many times and just don't believe it any longer. Wars are won with three things, they say: Manpower, firepower, and staying power. Iran has little of the first two but they seek to win by topping us in the third category.
