Whistleblower Vindicated: Biden Officials Conspired to Violate Court Order Stating that "Transgender" Could Not be Classified as a Protected Categroy Under Title IX (Which Protects Women on the Basis of "Sex", Not "Gender Identification")

Plus: After this article, the worst transgenders-in-girls-sports story I've ever read. I didn't want to put it in the headline. It's a very vulgar sexual violation committed during a sport.

I'm sure Fake Tapper and CNN will be all over Biden's lies and corruption and defiance of lawful (and obvious, open-and-shut) court rulings.

High-ranking Biden administration officials conspired to violate a 2022 court order against their interpretation of Title IX as covering "gender identity" within the definition of "sex," and may have also tried to conceal those efforts through coercion and intimidation, according to a Department of Education report made public Wednesday after lengthy outside review.

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel told President Trump the department "fully substantiated the allegations" by whistleblower Timothy Mattson, who now leads the department's Office for Civil Rights' regional office in Kansas City, recommending sanctions against current and former officials and compensation for Mattson for the risk he took coming forward.

"OSC has reviewed the disclosure, agency reports, and whistleblower comments," and "determined that the reports contain the information required by statute and that the findings appear reasonable," the agency's chief counsel, Charles Baldis, told Trump in a four-page letter.

The Feb. 19 "supplemental" report, compelled by the Trump administration's OSC after President Biden's OSC dismissed Mattson's allegations a month before the presidential transition, repeatedly names then-OCR Director Catherine Lhamon as the key figure directing Mattson and others to continue enforcing the gender-identity guidance.

"OCR's leadership actively engaged in efforts to thwart at least one OCR regional office (Region VII) [Kansas City] from following the plain and unambiguous meaning of the order" by U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley, a Trump nominee, who blocked enforcement of the guidance in the states that sued the feds, the supplemental report says.

The order validated years of accusations that Lhamon's office, which she led in the Obama and Biden administrations as assistant secretary for civil rights, misrepresented nonbinding guidance as legally binding, threatening federal funding for K-12 schools and colleges that didn't bend the knee.

Days after Atchley's order, in a virtual meeting with Mattson, Lhamon "stated that she planned to disregard the advice provided by" her own general counsel and the Justice Department "in navigating OCR's response to the Injunction." (Biden's OSC claimed Mattson "misunderstands the scope of the Court's injunction.")

Below: One of the worst transgenders-violating-women-in-sports stories I've heard.

A male was allowed to compete in wrestling -- the most contact of all contact sports -- against girls.

The male fingered his female opponent while wrestling her, pushing aside her spandex and thrusting his male fingers into her vagina.

The school district covered up for it, of course!

UK Government Begins "Instructing" "Journalists" On How to Spin the Beheading Agenda They Have Ushered Into the Country

As we see on the American left: the Real Crime isn't the real crime at all, the Real Crime is noticing the actual real crime.

And they will not tolerate the Real Crime of Noticing. Even as they instruct their pet "journalists" to convince the public to tolerate the actual real crime and show some understanding and empathy and above all else, "Remain Calm" and do not make a fuss.

Labour triggers Belfast attack censorship row as it sets out plans for new crackdown on social media content 'in times of crisis'

Social media is to face new curbs during 'times of crisis' like the Belfast attack.

Technology secretary Liz Kendall has unveiled plans to amend online safety laws to allow regulator Ofcom to impose a crackdown at times of heightened social and political tension.

The move will allow Ofcom to require tech firms to take tougher action on material that could 'incite violence or disorder'.

It follows growing anger among ministers about Elon Musk's ability to 'amplify' public concern over incidents like Henry Nowak's murder and this week's knife attack in Belfast.

But it also threatens to trigger a major row about censorship -- and a potential clash with the White House over free speech.

In a statement posted on Mr Musk's X site, Ms Kendall said: 'Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law. Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.'

So endless indulgence to foreign war-criminals, rapists, and escaped maniacs, but they're going to put out an arrest warrant for Elon Musk for not blocking the video that shows the crime they are complicit in themselves.

In a clip below the fold, a the Minister for Northern Ireland -- a leftwing Karen, of course-- makes that explicit, stating "I wish people didn't see that video."

"I wish we could just cover up our crimes forever and censor anyone exposing them."

That's what you meant.

She added: 'I have explicitly asked Ofcom to discuss urgently with X and other platforms how they will comply with the Online Safety Act.'

Government sources said the move would cover any material which Ofcom considers might incite violence or disorder.

Unlimited immigration from third word barabarian states is what directly causes violence or disorder, but they won't do a thing about that.

It is unclear who will determine what constitutes a 'time of crisis'.

It's pretty clear to me -- a "time of crisis" is any period in which the consequences of the left's Third Worldism Agenda are made visible to the public.

The prominent Reform UK politician Matt Goodwin urged ministers to focus on dealing with the causes of public anger rather than trying to police social media.

'It's not social media that's "inflaming tensions",' he said. 'It's not Elon Musk. It's not Nigel Farage. It's not the "far-right". It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration and open borders. This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.'<

Mr Musk responded to Mr Goodwin with a one-word post, saying: 'Exactly.'

But Labour Party chair Anna Turley said Mr Musk should stay out of sensitive political events like the Belfast attack.

...

'He has a responsibility - everyone in public and civil life has a responsibility to call for calm and not to stoke grievance or hatred or division or tension that puts vulnerable people and our communities at risk.'

Riots are the voices of the unheard. The left said that. Was that not true when you said it? If it was not true, why did you say it?

The Morning Rant: Will Europe Grow Up?

One of the more corrosive aspects of American foreign policy with respect to NATO and Europe has been the infantilization of Western Europe. After World War II they quickly became militarily subservient to America, which, while understandable, created the conditions necessary for their massive welfare states and an equally massive shift toward cultural passivity. No longer did they see themselves as defenders of their countries and their lives...that was America's job, while they enjoyed six weeks of vacation and cradle-to-grave social services. Never mind that their medical care was awful, and their standard of living lagged far behind America's...everything was being done for them, including protecting them from the consequences of their passivity...the loss of martial spirit, patriotism, love of native culture, etc.

The results are clear! Europe is being subsumed under a tidal wave of third world immigration, led by the revolutionary political philosophy of Islam, that without some cataclysmic change will soon rule the UK, France, Belgium, and perhaps others.

Regardless of America's previous domination of European defense, it is high time that their cultures mend themselves and take responsibility for their military failings. It is axiomatic that a country that cannot defend itself cannot long survive, even in our post-modern malaise. The hordes crashing Europe's borders care not a whit about self-actualization and pronouns and transsexualism and gay marriage and policing free speech. They care about conquest, and they will succeed!

ECFR Poll: European Trust in US Defense Commitment Plunges

Europeans are increasingly questioning whether the United States would come to their defense in a military crisis, according to a new survey showing confidence in America's security commitment has fallen to record lows.

The poll, released Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), found that only 11% of respondents across 15 European countries now view the United States as an ally "sharing our interests and values," down from 22% in November 2024.

Researchers said the findings reflect "deep European distrust in the U.S." ahead of upcoming G7 and NATO summits.

While most Europeans still see America as a "necessary partner," majorities in every country surveyed said they no longer believe the U.S. would necessarily come to their aid if they were attacked.

This is magnificent news! It is the first step for Europe moving out of America's basement and finding its own place in the world! The real question is whether the existential ennui that infects most of Western Europe can be banished as they see the consequences of their subservience to American power.

Will France regain the martial spirit of de Gaulle? In 1966, he demanded that all American troops must leave France, and France left NATO's integrated command structure, leaving it as a free agent. Good or bad...it was national self-determination, and it stiffened the backbones of the French.

Will The United Kingdom regain the cold resolve of Margaret Thatcher, who dispatched the Royal Navy 8,000 miles to defend the Falklands? That was the last gasp of patriotism in the UK!

Will Germany return to the Germany of the 1980s; with a superb armed forces that knew it was first to do battle with the Soviet juggernaut, and was determined to succeed?

Time will tell, and the smart money is against all of that, but rejecting American dominance and accepting that they are all independent countries is a good start.

The Morning Report — 6/ 11 /26

Good morning kids.

Well another day and another seeming red line in the sand drawn by President Trump in front of the Mullahs.

The US military launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran Wednesday evening, hours after President Trump warned additional attacks on the Islamic Republic were coming to try and force Tehran to re-enter serious peace negotiations.
“U.S. Central Command [CENTCOM] forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5:15 p.m. ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” the Tampa, Fla.-based combat command said in a statement on X.
“The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.”
. . . Asked what he’ll do if Tehran doesn’t make a deal, the president responded: “We’ll bomb the s–t out of them tomorrow.”
Trump also revealed he spoke with top Iranian officials in the Situation Room who begged him to stop bombing.  

Wait, what have we been doing for the past few months already?! Look, the Mullahs are an absolute existential threat to us and to civilization itself, but bombing the shit out of them thus far has not really done the job insofar as removing the danger posed by the regime itself which despite everything is still in power and given the nature of Islam will remain in power regardless of who the cardboard cutout-du-jour is today or will be tomorrow. And with that I give you this unsettling observation by friend and friend of the blog the estimable Robert Spencer

The Iranian state-controlled West Asia News Agency (WANA) picked up on the story, and it’s easy to see why. WANA reported Tuesday that “several foreign and Israeli media outlets have claimed that $3 billion worth of Iranian assets was transferred from Abu Dhabi to Tehran on a recent flight, reportedly as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further escalation in the region.”

This was not a transaction that solely involved the United Arab Emirates and the Islamic Republic of Iran. WANA continued: “According to a report by Israel’s Kan broadcaster, the assets were transferred to Tehran on a flight from Abu Dhabi. The report alleges that, in return, Iran was asked to halt its attacks against Israel. Kan further claimed that the message accompanying the transfer, reportedly delivered on behalf of the United States, included assurances that Israel would suspend its military operations in Lebanon.”. . .Oh, surely not, right? This must be propaganda from Iran’s Islamic regime, right? They’re just trying to make Donald Trump look as if he has morphed into Barack Obama, bribing the Iranian leaders to be good so as to burnish his legacy and give the appearance of peace while actually kicking the problem of the Islamic Republic of Iran down the road for some future president to deal with — right?

Well, maybe. And yet… given Trump’s recent behavior, the report, which appears indeed to have originated with Israel’s Kan, is really not as farfetched as we all wish it were. Would Trump have done this, despite his previous disdain for Obama’s nuclear deal, and the billions that Obama sent to Tehran in addition to concluding that disastrous agreement?

. . .Sure he would. Trump is now avid to make a deal with the Islamic Republic that will bring down gas prices and allow him to claim victory (as well as, finally, get that Nobel Peace Prize he so desperately covets). He is drawing red line after red line for the leaders of the Islamic Republic and then allowing them to cross those red lines with impunity. He has ordered Israel not to retaliate to Iranian strikes, and shrugged off Iranian violations of his ridiculous ceasefire as unimportant, signaling for Tehran and all the world that he lacks the will to fight and will give anything, anything to the leaders of Iran’s Islamic regime if they’ll just let him play peacemaker. So why not three billion dollars? Yet at the same time, Trump said Wednesday: “We’re going to be attacking them and attacking them very hard.” He added: “I’ve been working with Iran for a number of months, and they should sign their deal. It’s a good deal. It doesn’t give them the right to have a nuclear weapon. In fact, it totally prohibits them from ever having a nuclear weapon.”

The Iranian Islamic regime will never agree to that. If it does, it will only be so as to buy time in order to gather its strength, in view of the moment when it resumes its jihad against the United States and Israel. In light of the fact that it has not ever really stopped that jihad, that moment will likely come quite soon, whatever Trump does at this point.

Well, I certainly hope Robert Spencer's fears about the President are unjustified and yet despite the pulverizing sustained aerial assault that no doubt the President and his advisers thought would cause the regime to collapse like a soggy biryani, the word negotiations is all the rage. The only thing that should be "negotiated" is the date and time of Iran's unconditional surrender. Oh well, oh well.

And that goes double to the nth degree for the Democrat Party and Leftists here at home. It and they cannot be eradicated (figuratively speaking of course) fast enough for my liking because for the better part of our nearly 250-year history they have gone pedal to the metal to quite literally eradicate us! The bitter irony of ironies is that they have used and abused blacks as the tip of the spear in their lethal assault on the American experiment. Yet again they have turned a black youth who brutally murdered a white classmate into the victim and the victim into the perpetrator. The reaction by this hack alleged singer is typical...

The case grabbed national headlines for ghoulish reasons. The facts were never in doubt, beyond the worst of the worst fever swamps. Metcalf was unarmed. Anthony used a small knife to stab the teen in the heart after a disagreement.
That explains the jury’s quick pace. Singer Cardi B sees it differently.
The “WAP” singer posted a series of comments on X yesterday decrying the 35-year sentence Anthony received for the murder. Cardi B Decries Karmelo Anthony Sentence: ‘Not Justice’

this foul shit-whore actually has a point. It was not justice because he should've got the death penalty.

In a not unrelated story, one of the worst poisoners of our culture insofar as perpetuating the deadly blood-libel of America and white people as bigoted and racist is the SPLC .. .

On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center. Republicans are rightfully scrutinizing the organization's practices, and one of their witnesses was Dr. Alveda King. 

In case you're unfamiliar with Dr. King, she's a child of the Civil Rights movement. Her father is Alfred Daniel King, the younger brother of Martin Luther King Jr., and she's quite accomplished in her own right. She represented the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives as a Democrat, but she eventually switched to the Republican Party and has famously said that she is a Christian first before associating with any political party. 
Like her father and uncle, Alveda has chosen to dedicate her life to speaking up for those who can't speak for themselves. However, in her case, it's the unborn — she's had two abortions and was nearly aborted by her own mother before her grandfather talked her out of it, and after becoming a born-again Christian in 1983, she changed her views on the matter. She believes abortion and racial discrimination go hand-in-hand, and has said that Planned Parenthood profits from killing "black babies." 
She has served as an advisory board member for Black Voices for Trump, and she's currently the senior advisor on Faith and Community Outreach for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She's also the chair of the Center for the American Dream at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), and she has advised Donald Trump in other roles throughout the years. 
But none of that is good enough for Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). According to her, Dr. King isn't black enough. Or isn't King enough. Or something. . .
. . ."Congresswoman, I am a bit emotional. I'm going to watch what I say, but it seems as though you have suggested that I am a bastard to the King family legacy," Alveda said. "I am legitimately the daughter of the Rev. Alfred Daniel Williams King and Dr. Naomi Ruth Barber King. We are a family who loves God. And I love you. God bless you." 
Not that Crockett was around to see it. She got up and left — you can hear the door slam — in the midst of Alveda's words. 

To call Jasmine Crockett dog excrement would be a cruel and demeaning insult to canine feces.

Have a great day,

After Single Night of Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests, Two-Tier Keir Starmer, Who Did Not Mention Henry Nowak Until the Video of His Police-Assisted Murder Was Released, Is Johnny-on-the-Spot in Condemning Riots

Belfast experienced some rioting last night.

The riots were, as the US media described the BLM riots, "fiery but mostly peaceful." There was disorder, Some People Set Fire to Some Vehicles, a house was burned, but they were "mostly peaceful," meaning no one was killed.

Fiery but mostly peaceful: The left has told us before that this is a perfectly acceptable and justifiable level of public disorder, at least when they want to press their political claims in the street.

"Riots are the voice of the unheard," they lectured us in the media.

The left in the UK is freaking out about the same level of rioting that they cheered on in the US.

Keir Starmer didn't condemn the BLM riots, of course. He called them "peaceful protests" by people "rightly demanding justice" and attacked Trump for opposing those riots.

But these riots -- these are not Good Riots.

Keir Starmer
@Keir_Starmer

The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.

There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.

It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.

I've spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I've also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.

Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

You know what I say? I am shocked and angered at the attempted beheading, and the reaction of the UK authorities to peaceful protests by people rightly demanding justice has been an affront to humanity.

That's exactly what you said, Keir. So fuck you.

Trump Signs Bill to Fund DHS and ICE Throughout the Rest of His Term

The 80-day long (IIRC) Democrat shutdown resulted in chaos and disruption but ultimately failed.

They're the party of chaos and disruption, riots and "teen takeovers," subway knife attacks and women having their throats slashed open by infinitely-indulged homeless maniacs.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation to fund key immigration enforcement agencies through the end of his term after Congress approved the package via the reconciliation process.

"This morning, I'm thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term," he said at the signing ceremony in the Oval Office.

The legislation followed a record-breaking shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which Democrats orchestrated in a bid to secure immigration enforcement policy concessions. Ultimately, the shutdown ended with Congress passing a bill to fund DHS that excluded funds for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

@EricLDaugh

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump SIGNS $70 billion in ICE and Border Patrol funding through the end of his term through 2029, meaning Democrats have LOST the ability to hold our border hostage in government shutdowns

BIG WIN! 🇺🇸

"The Secure America Act provides $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Border Patrol to ensure these critical law enforcement agencies of the necessary resources to do their jobs, protecting our borders and getting criminal aliens out of the country."

Jasmine Ratchett: "Black Women Live in Agony" Daily that Murdered Athlate Austin Metcalf "Never Lived Through" (Except The Day He Was Murdered by a Jasmine Ratchet Supporter)

Was she ever murdered?

No?

So Austen Metcalf did actually experience agony of a kind that this fat donut disposal unit and sloppy whore can only imagine.

She also blacksplains that the knife used to lethally stab him through the heart is not really a deadly weapon at all. She says that in her opinion as a Real DEI Lawyer, she would have argued that the knife was not a deadly weapon, thus sparing Karmelo Anthony the death penalty, even though the knife is a weapon which was used to inflict an almost-instantly deadly wound.

She's a good lawyer, she really earned that J.D.

After Iran Downs Apache Helicopter, Trump Threatens New Round of Airstrikes

Is he serious this time or is it more, you know, twitter bullshit?

Comments President Donald Trump made on Wednesday suggest that he may be losing patience with the ongoing negotiations with Iran, which have for months failed to produce a peace deal.

"They've taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The statement comes a day after the U.S. launched what it called "self-defense strikes" against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned his country will retaliate against the U.S. strikes, stating "no attack or threat" will be ignored.

Trump now says that the limited airstrikes of Tuesday and today are just the preamble, and that the long-planned attack on Iran's power plants and bridges is coming.

I have to say, I don't believe this. I think this is more saber-rattling to provoke Iran into signing a "deal" that they simply will never, ever sign.

And it would mean nothing point zero zero zero even if they signed it. They are lying, dishonorable, death-cultists animals.

Trump Orders the Postal Service to Not Deliver Mail-In Ballots to States That Refuse to Turn Over Their Voter Lists

CNN is so mad.

States' rights! States' rights! States' rights!

Postal Service won't deliver mail ballots for states that don't hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive

State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots.

That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting.

Crack down on illegal mail-in voting.

CNN is garbage and I can't wait until they're all fired.

If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections -- and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

1, it's not supposed, and 2, this reveals that you did know the measure is intended to crack down on illegal mail-in voting, but chose to conceal that from readers out of a motive to propagandize for the Democrat Party and their legions of fake voters.

The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.

So far, 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia are suing, as are Democratic Party leaders and non-partisan voter advocacy groups, setting up a potentially active summer of high-stakes judicial rulings.

The Trump administration cleared an initial legal hurdle last month, when a federal judge in Washington, DC, who is overseeing one set of the cases, declined to block Trump's executive order, allowing the Postal Service to begin implementing it.

The Democratic Party groups are asking an appeals court to speed up its review of that decision, warning that voters around the country could be disenfranchised in this year's midterm elections if the proposal is not blocked.

In an interview with CNN, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat whose state is part of the coalition that filed a legal challenge in Boston, said that if courts rule for the Trump administration, "Then you will see a virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government."

Yes, "unless" states obey federal directives in an area the federal government does indeed have supremacy over state law.

Look: Just secede already. You're agitating for it and I, for one, would love to be rid of you.

Surprise! Democrat "Ballot Harvesters" Were Illegally Paying Skid Row Homeless Drug Addicts $5 to "Vote" for Nithya Raman

Isn't odd that these meth-addicted morons knew, in advance, that it was Nithya Raman who would need the bulk of their "votes" and not the current communist mayor?

It's almost as if most of these votes were cast after Election Day, with Democrat "ballot harversters" knowing they needed many more votes for Nithya Raman to eliminate the one person they needed out of the race, Spencer Pratt.

Skid Row homeless claim they've been paid to vote for Karen Bass and Nithya Raman

By Jamie Paige and
Katie Jerkovich

A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles' Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.

The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.

The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post's revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn't live.

One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.

In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.

When asked whether he would also have been paid to vote for Raman, Shepherd answered "yes" and said Spencer Pratt was not among the candidates he was encouraged to support.

"They gave you an optional choice," Shepherd claimed, alleging the was offered $2 but negotiated for a higher payment and ultimately received $4.

Shepherd further claimed he completed a mail-in ballot for Bass and deposited it in a ballot box.

Skid Row resident, Rene Johnson, 39, also claimed she received $5 after being told to vote for Bass.

Johnson said she supported Bass, but told the creator she was still unclear about some of the forms she had completed.

"But, you know, at the time, I didn't know that that was going on," she said.

"I was just trying to make five bucks, you know? But I didn't do the fraud."

When asked if she thought it was fraud, she said she thought that it was "fraudulent behavior."

She also said she thought people were being taken advantage of.

Another woman, who said she was living on the street, also claimed she accepted money to vote for Mayor Bass.

"It was like two bucks," the unidentified woman said, adding that "yeah they come out here all the time."

...

The creator said he spent about two hours speaking with residents, many of whom claimed voter-registration and outreach efforts were a routine part of life on Skid Row before Election Day.

Several residents alleged that groups regularly visited the area asking people to sign paperwork, though some acknowledged they did not fully understand what they were signing.

According to multiple residents interviewed on camera, outreach workers allegedly visited the area as often as three to five times a week before the election, with several organizations purportedly involved.

A fourth resident, identified as Mark Sanchez, claimed he had been approached repeatedly by political canvassers.

"To sign a petition for the mayor or different things in office and they paid me $4 or $5 in different accounts," Sanchez claimed.

Sanchez further alleged the payments occurred multiple times.

"It happened more than four or five times," he claimed.

...

A Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America openly promotes a guide instructing volunteers on how to encourage voters to cast ballots on the spot and hand them over for delivery.

The practice, commonly known as ballot harvesting, is legal in California but remains highly controversial. The guide, titled "How To: Ballot Delivery," was published by the Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America in May 2022 and remains available online.

The instructions provide a step-by-step process for collecting completed mail ballots and urge volunteers to repeatedly press voters to submit them immediately. "Will you vote now?" the guide tells volunteers to ask, before adding: "Ask at least 3 times."

The California Post reached out to Bass and Raman campaign for further comment but did not hear back.

More regarding the many "votes" "harvested" from homeless shelters where the "votes" collected greatly exceeded the number of homeless living there.

Thousands of homeless voters were registered to vote at LA shelters -- despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds.

And as Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor's race on Monday night, it can be revealed that one drop-in center that received $600,000 from the socialist candidate had 185 registered voters at the address but offers no accommodations.

The revelations have prompted US Attorney Bill Essayli to say he will investigate the concerns uncovered by The Post and "follow the evidence" to see if the law has been broken.

A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers.

Among them was St. Joseph Center in Venice, a homeless services drop-in center with 185 registered voters tied to its address. The organization received a $600,000 taxpayer-funded grant awarded by Raman while she chaired the City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee.

...

The largest concentration of homeless voters was at the Midnight Mission in Skid Row, where voting records show 1,160 registrations -- but its website shows it only has beds for 84 men and 36 women.

One homeless man on Skid Row, Norman, said he's witnessed voter registration efforts in the area for years and claims he had previously been paid to help sign up voters -- and that cigarettes were offered to some people during the drives.

...

Outside the Midnight Mission on Monday afternoon, The Post met with Bo Jackson, who is registered to vote but says he could not remember registering -- and couldn't even name a candidate in the LA mayor's race.

The Post asked Midnight Mission staff for comment on how ballots are handled when they arrive at the shelter, but our reporter was kicked out and was left without a response.

Wednesday Morning Rant

What Will The Ballots Say?

California is very much in the news courtesy - this week - of the obvious chicanery involving the LA primary election. There is another reason that has ebbed and flowed over the past year, and that is California's (actually, the SEIU's) proposed "billionaire tax" that is on the ballot this autumn. This proposed "tax" is a simple expropriation. The tax scheme as proposed is fairly straightforwad. If someone has a net worth over $1.1 billion, California will confiscate 5% of his net worth. If someone has a net worth of between $1.0 and $1.1 billion, California will confiscate slightly less of his net worth. When the tax is due, he can pay the entire sum in full, or he can spread payments out over 5 years - with interest. The money will go to fund "shortfalls" due to Federal or state budget cuts to medical (Medi-Cal), food (CalFresh) or school budgets.

Set aside whether wealth expropriation is just or legal or proper. Set aside whether the primary medical services union sponsoring a ballot initiative to confiscate assets and transfer them to the medical industry is a conflict of interest. Set aside whether the confiscation will raise as much money as expected. Set aside whether the money raised will actually go where it is supposed to rather than be stolen. Set aside widespread fraud in these programs, and whether throwing more money at them is sensible. Set aside unintended consequences on capital structure. Set aside the risks of forced liquidation. Set aside all of the very real objections to such a scheme and consider what this would actually accomplish even if it works exactly as promised.

Mid-Morning Art Thread

Little Denise
Theo van Rysselberghe

This amuses me greatly because of her loose-limbed posture that the artist captures quite well. The model is his six-year-old niece, who clearly isn't listening to instructions. That lean is her attempt at amusing herself while the boring adult finishes up.

The Morning Report — 6/ 10 /26

Good morning kids. Well is anyone surprised that bearded clam oyster farmer Maine Kampf Platner won his Democrat primary? He is in the last analysis a quintessential Democrat — a prevaricating antisemitic pedophilia-connected/adjacent sex Pest. Hell, with attributes like that, just slather his head in Brylcreem and Newsom can kiss his presidential aspirations goodbye, nein?!

Speaking of which as CBD and I discussed in disgust on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar and on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post)
Newsom's trail of destruction won't serve him well to say the least in the run-up to 2028 but considering the direction and mindset of the Democrat base, the prediction or wishcasting that that party and its movement are being abandoned may be just that. Yes they stole the LA mayor's race and will rig the gubernatorial race as is their wont despite both being bluer than blue. It's just how they roll. In any case with contenders like Newsom, Chlamydia Harris and Titty-Caca Ocasio Cortez already in the mix, look who is now being pimped: the moral equivalent of Alien chest-burster ass cancer:

California Dem Ro Khanna Being Prepped for 2028 Presidential Run by Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron KKKlain'sman...Khanna announced while speaking with left-wing activist terrorist Rev. Al Shvarpton at the National Action Network Conference in April. that he would “consider” a run after the November midterm elections.

Yeah the Democrats are becoming moderate. Pfft.

A new poll suggests that more than half of Democrats don’t like the U.S. or even want to live here, and it does seem like we’ve reached a fork in the road. The Democrats want a more socialist society with the government running more and more of our affairs.  The funny thing is that most Democrat young people have never actually lived in a country like that, say Cuba, but they have fallen in love with whatever their college professor has told them about the socialist utopia.  Another big difference is getting married and having kids, another point where the two sides don’t see eye to eye.. . So here we are.  It does seem like we’ve reached that famous fork in the road, or a moment of decision.

Indeed, and our as in the GOP's response is illustrated this way . . . because besides this horrid oyster cracka we also have to likely endure the other cracker, in the mangled parlance of Trayvon's faked-inamorata Rachel Jeantel, the crazy-ass cracker (shift the hyphen) the crazy ass-cracker Lindsay Graham the bottom who came out on top yet again in South Carolina.

Moving on from the ridiculous to the utterly insane:

Attempted Beheading in Belfast... Celebrate diversity!

Anyone who is older than about 20 should be able to remember a time when we did not see, ever, stories of this kind in Europe or North America. What has changed, and what can we do about it now?

LBC reported Tuesday that “a stab victim is in serious condition in hospital after a gruesome knife attack in a street in Belfast. In harrowing video posted online, an attacker can be seen straddling the bloodied victim’s neck armed with a knife.”

It might have been taken down by the time you read this, but as of this writing on Tuesday morning, you can find the video here. The perpetrator “stabs the victim in the head repeatedly before taking the knife to the man’s neck, before members of the public rush over to stop the attack. Bystanders can be heard screaming in the clip: ‘He’s trying to cut his head off.’”

Lest we forget what happened about 10 years ago in Manchester to British army soldier Lee Rigby who was beheaded in broad daylight in the middle of the street. might have an ocean between us and the soon to be Islamized Europe but of course we have tens of thousands of head-choppers and that number in many multiples of their cheerleaders already here.

But if we didn't have them, we have always had our own homegrown savages in our midst courtesy of the Democrats. Their goal is to MAGSA . . Maintain America as the Great Society Always!

The repeat offender who stabbed Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death aboard a Charlotte, N.C., commuter train last year is incompetent to stand trial, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. . . In the August attack, Brown appeared to select Zarutska almost at random, stabbing her repeatedly in the neck from behind before casually getting off at the next stop. Zarutska died almost immediately, apparently confused, and then with a look of tragic understanding on her face before she collapsed, unattended and uncomforted by any of the other passengers. The murder, caught on video, shocked the world. 

If it had really shocked the world . . . I don't want to complete that sentence.

Have a great day,

Daily Tech News 10 June 2026

Top Story

• We haven't had a critical local privilege escalation bug in Linux for at least... What's the time now? (Ars Technica)
  
  Today's little surprise package comes courtesy of an unexpected exclamation mark in the source code for the Netfilter module that handles firewall tasks resulting in a use-after-free bug that can pretty reliably be tricked into granting an unprivileged user administrator access to the entire system. Might break shared-kernel containers too; not sure about that.
  
  If you think you're safe because you use iptables or lfw rather than Netfilter I have some uncomfortable news for you: It's Netfilter all the way down. That's been true since the last millennium.
