LOL: ThatParkPlace.com Reports That Rachel Ziegler's Presence in the Woke Snow White Movie Will be Reduced and "Softened"
The RestoreTheMagic.com website is back up, and leads with DEIsney's woeful stock performance compared to the S&P and to other media companies. Note the other media companies here are companies DEIsney has specifically chosen to compare itself to.
How do you replace the lead actress in a movie?
Well, the knuckleheads at the flop factory we know as DEIsney have been wargaming how to reduce the presence of the off-putting, toxic Rachel Ziegler. Their solution? They're writing in a lot of flashback sequences in which a younger, less hostile and alienating actress places a child Snow White. They're hoping that if you like the Child Snow White, that will carry over and you'll also like the unlikeable adult Snow White.The source claims that Disney has hired a young actress to play Snow White as a child. The idea is to cut time out of Zegler's performance, show Snow White as a cute little kid, and soften the character with flashbacks and/or major origin story portion at the beginning of the film. Of course, edits have not begun for these scenes as we believe they're not shot yet, so things could change. That said, if they do go forward with significant cutaways to Snow White as a child, this is a deviation from the original. And, wouldn't you know it, after receiving this information last week, it turns out there are sites reporting that Disney has, indeed, hired a young actress to take the role. And that would mean that they're actively inserting a new childhood-portion of the movie that wasn't originally planned!The new actress, Emilia Faucher, is cute. Is she cute enough to take the hard edges off of woke blowhard Rachel Ziegler? We'll see. WDW_Pro says that the "Snow White" which is depicted in the film as it currently stands is of a "socialist revolutionary" leading a political revolution against... well I'm going to assume the Patriarchy, but I don't know. (I think your Expectations about the witch will be Subverted, and she'll be a fellow victim of the Patriarchy.) Over the weekend, Nelson Peltz began his war to take command of the Bob Iger Company and turn it back into the Walt Disney Company.
"Activist" doesn't mean here "political activist." It means a shareholder who is not content to be passive: an activist investor wants to change direction of the company.
"We will seek the support of shareholders for meaningful change in the Board's composition. It is time to 'Restore the Magic' at Disney." To "restore the magic," Trian Partners called on Disney to target "Netflix-like margins" of 15% to 20%, complete a CEO succession plan and align management pay with performance. Peltz made an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Thursday morning immediately after the proxy filing was released and further explained his firm's push for changes at Disney. "We love Disney and it saddens me that the board didn't welcome me because our goal is just to work with them ... and to help them make the company better," Peltz said on the show. "This board, from Bob [Iger] to every independent director, has underperformed the S&P on every measure: one year, three years, five years, 10 years." This is Peltz's second proxy battle with Disney in the past two years. The activist investor told CNBC the board promised him changes last year and then "things got worse," so he can't continue to give them opportunities.
Peltz also suggested Iger shouldn't have been paid nearly as much as he was in 2023 because company earnings were down, the stock price was down and "everything went bad." Reports from this week showed the Disney CEO's compensation more than doubled last year to $31.6 million. He was paid a base salary of $865,385, stock awards worth $16.1 million, stock option awards of $10 million, performance-based compensation of $2.1 million and $2.48 million in other compensation. "I don't understand what this board is doing. I don't know what they're there for other than friends of Bob [Iger]," Peltz said.

Soul, a feature-length animated film starring a black character, was released into 1,350 theaters over the Martin Luther King Jr. four-day holiday weekend and grossed exactly -- get ready to laugh -- $557,000. Thats about 25 percent of the projected two million, which makes my heart sing. On Friday, Soul grossed a measly $99 per theater.

Fani Willis Must Appear to Answer Questions About Her Contacts With Joe Biden Today, and Must Bring Her Blown-Out Busted-Up Windsock of a Snuzz
The judge presiding over this three-ring circus is holding a hearing regarding discussions Fani had with Biden. Mia Cathell:
Fani Willis' beat-up brokedown busted-out snuzz looks and smells like a fairgrounds after a Phish concert.
She's bringing that sad droopy old meat-tuba in a wheelbarrow. (Style note: A snuzz is the old, brokedown, obese cousin of snizz. Like "Mooseknuckle" is camel toe's ugly older sister.)The judge presiding over this three-ring circus is holding a hearing regarding discussions Fani had with Biden. Mia Cathell:
Fani's Insatiable Thirst for Schlong has gotten her in a lot of trouble.
The judge presiding over former President Donald Trump's "election conspiracy" case in Georgia has scheduled a hearing for Thursday to consider a request for discovery from one of Trump's alleged "co-conspirators," who is seeking access to any records that potentially catch Fulton County prosecutors conspiring with President Joe Biden's White House. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued a one-page order on January 17 summoning attorneys for ex-Trump DOJ official Jeffrey B. Clark and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to appear in his Atlanta courtroom at 2 p.m. Thursday. Clark's motion to compel--dated January 12--asked the court to order Willis to turn over any evidence documenting any contact she may have had, citing travel receipts billing the Democrat D.A.'s office a total of $4,000 for two eight-hour meetings (costing $2,000 each) with White House officials. One was a late May 2022 conference in Athens and the other a D.C. "interview" in mid-November of 2022. Both financial statements were filed away under the project title: "Anti-Corruption Special Prosecutor." ... The paper trail was unearthed in Trump co-defendant Michael Roman's bombshell motion to disqualify the D.A. where he accused Willis of having an "improper" and "clandestine" affair with Wade at the time she had hired him to prosecute Trump.
* Edited for clarity.
The proof of contact "may be material to the outcome of the case or helpful to the defense, if it supports an argument that the prosecution of this case is tainted with partisan political objectives coordinated with, suggested or directed by the White House," Clark's lawyers contended in their motion to compel production of documentation. ... Another invoice from the "Law Offices of Darrius 'Sweetdick' Honeycum, Esq.*" shows that he also met with the Democrat-led House Select January 6 Committee in the spring of 2022. Wade's crew traveled to Washington and documented the April 18, 2022, to April 21, 2022, in-person conference as "Team meeting; Conf w/Jan 6; Research legal issues to prep interv" for 24 hours of work totaling $6,000.
J6 committee staff reportedly gave Willis an "early boost," helping "guide" the infantile days of the Georgia Trump probe. The extent of the panel's assistance included helping Fulton County prosecutors prep for interviews with star witnesses and discussing topics that were "later featured prominently" in the indictment against Trump and his associates[.]By the way, Fani Willis is refusing to answer congressional questions:
So when will she be sentenced to four months in prison? Meanwhile:
House Republicans recently called on Willis to disclose her crew's contacts with the J6 committee. Willis refused, claiming the request "violates well-established principles of federalism and separation of powers." She told House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH): "You cannot--and will not--be provided access to any non-public information about this."

Tim Scott Proclaims Grifter Ukraine Immigration "Compromise" "Dead on Arrival;"
Mitt Romney Claims That Anyone Who Opposes Their Sell-Out Treason "Deal" " Does Not Want To Solve the Border Problem"
Every single year, the "Gang of Traitors" proposes the same laundry list: * More money to process illegals faster * Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty! * Work visas for illegals * A "path to citizenship" for illegals We keep telling them we want: * a border wall * more security * more deportations * a sharply narrowed definition of who is permitted to claim "asylum" status, which is how most illegals scheme their way into the country We keep saying the same thing year after year, and the Gang of Traitors says they're finally going to give us border security -- Border security, in these four steps: * More money to process illegals faster * Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty! * Work visas for illegals * A "path to citizenship" for illegals Wait... that's... that's the exact same thing you've "offered" us since 2002... IT'S THE SAME FUCKING "DEAL" EVERY YEAR. DO THEY THINK WE'VE FORGOTTEN THE LAST "DEAL" WHICH WAS EXACTLY LIKE THIS NEW "DEAL"?
Then McConnell lied to us and said we had to take this "deal," because Schumer would never give us such a great "deal" under Trump. In other words: McConnell was claiming that we have to give the Democrats almost their complete laundry list of demands, in exchange for no border wall, no border security, no deportations, and no limitations on "asylum," to preserve our bargaining strength with Schumer in the future. So in the future, now that Schumer has 90% of what he always wanted... what exactly would be his incentive to give the right anything on security? This was McConnell's claim. This was the lie hissed out by this aneurysmic Mephistopheles. McConnell is blaming the bill's failure on Trump -- he's the likely nominee now, so we can't undermine him. DeSantis wanted the border sealed, too. Vivek too. So who was McConnell holding out hope for? Nikki Haley, of course. The Great Off-White Hope.
We say: "We want you to deport the illegals." You say: "We've achieved an historic compromise -- we're going to grant legal status to not only all "children" brought here by illegals, but to their adult family members as well." It just never stops. The public, and particularly the GOP voting base to whom you owe your Position of Grift, has been telling you they want you to stop illegal immigration for thirty fucking years, but you just keep producing more "compromises" to make illegal immigration more efficient.
Mitt Romney Claims That Anyone Who Opposes Their Sell-Out Treason "Deal" " Does Not Want To Solve the Border Problem"
Republican Sen. Tim Scott says the reaching a deal with Democrats on border security is now "dead on arrival." The South Carolina lawmaker made the comment Wednesday night on Fox News, following Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell reportedly telling member of his conference any agreement with Democrats on border security tied to Ukraine aid could undermine former President Trump's 2024 campaign, which is heavily focused on the crisis at the southern border." "Number one, it's dead on arrival," said Scott, who after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race has back the front-running Trump. "Number two, Democrats prefer the issue than any solution," Scott said on Fox News on Wednesday evening. "Never forget, any issue impacting marginal people they go with problem not with solution."

Jake ShermanThe politics of this haven't changed since 1995. We want you to stop illegals from coming into the country; every "compromise" you propose involves bringing more illegals into the country. We say: "Take money and build a wall." You say: "We'll take your money, and spend it to expedite the asylum hearing process to give illegal aliens passes into the United States for eight years." We say: "We want less illegal immigration." You say: "Would you accept, instead, green cards for all illegals currently in the country?" We say: "We want less chain migration." You say: "Hey, here's a down-the-middle compromise: Would you settle for more chain migration?"
@JakeSherman
MCCONNELL BOWS TO TRUMP ON BORDER Last night, we scooped that MCCONNELL told Republican senators that time had essentially run out on trying to craft a Ukraine-border package. "We dont want to do anything to undermine [Trump]," said McConnell, who can barely utter the former president's name. "The politics on this have changed," McConnell said. TIM SCOTT then was asked about our reporting on Fox and said the border bill is DOA. The bill was being crafted by his 2010 classmate Lankford.
We say: "We want you to deport the illegals." You say: "We've achieved an historic compromise -- we're going to grant legal status to not only all "children" brought here by illegals, but to their adult family members as well." It just never stops.

Mark HemingwayMitt Romney claims that these traitors' plans to spend money not on border security but on regularizing the status of illegals so they are permitted both to stay in American and work in America would have "solved the border issue," and claims Trump doesn't want the border issue "solved."
@Heminator I realize Trump and/or GOP infighting is catnip to the press, but it seems painfully obvious McConnell didn't have the votes for what was a terrible border "compromise" and he's deflecting by blaming Trump, knowing the media would fall for this excuse hard.
Jeremy CarlThat is 100% correct. This guy who obviously "does not want to solve the border problem" speaks the truth.
@realJeremyCarl
. @MittRomney will speak at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and endorse Biden. Take it to the bank.

Trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro Sentenced to Four Months in Prison, for Stiffarming the Fake J6 Committee's Fake Subpoenas
Sentenced by an Obama judge.
Navarro was convicted of contempt of Congress in September for not complying with a subpoena issued by the January 6th House Select Committee. Navarro's team argued during the sentencing hearing on Thursday that he believed he could not comply with the committee's subpoena due to executive privilege. "When I received that congressional subpoena...I had an honest belief that the privilege had been invoked," Navarro said to US District Judge Amit Mehta, according to The Hill. Mehta scolded Navarro and his legal team during the hearing for blaming the prosecution on politics. "It's unfortunate that the statements mislead. They mislead," Mehta said. "Nancy Pelosi is not responsible for this prosecution; Joe Biden isn't responsible for the prosecution. It's those kinds of statements from someone who knows better... that contributes to why our politics are so divisive."Meanwhile, Merrick's Marauders are demanding 17 years in prison for a J6 hostage who helped officers at the riot.
arah McAbee's husband, a former sheriff's deputy in Tennessee, was incarcerated for 26 months before he was given a trial for his role in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. "And clearly it wasn't a jury of his peers," McAbee said on the "Vicki McKenna Show," a radio program in Madison, Wisconsin. Ronald McAbee now awaits sentencing after being convicted of five felonies in a D.C. district court. Mr. McAbee had already pled guilty to another felony and a misdemeanor related to the riot, and prosecutors are now asking the judge to give him 14 to 17 years behind bars. Sarah McAbee, however, says her family has become victims of politically weaponized prosecutions of those involved in the Jan. 6 demonstrations. When asked by the radio show's guest host, Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle, why her husband remains behind bars 29 months later, Sarah blamed the lengthy incarceration on what her husband saw at the riot. "I truly believe it is because he was a law enforcement officer, and he witnessed a murder happen right in front of his eyes," Sarah said. "I believe that's why he was held without bond. He was held 26 months before he even stepped foot in a trial."The left has been beating the shit out of police and lasing them in the eyes for decades. Although I never agreed with the refusal to prosecute these "protesters," I accepted the claim that their violence was associated with free speech, and thus we have to treat it with extreme latitude, otherwise we chill the right to free speech itself. I did accept that. And then some righties engaged in hooligan behavior that was 5% of what antifa and BLM do every riot and the government went after them like the Gestapo. So are we supposed to nod along as BLM and antifa thugs get sentenced to "time served" -- the two days they spent in jail over the weekend -- for throwing bottles filled with their filthy piss at cops? And what about Hunter Biden? What about Eric Holder and the many Democrats who have defied subpeonas? Should they be allowed to breathe free air? No. It is time for actual vengeance. The future of the country depends on it. For we will either have a civil compact, or we will have a civil war. It is necessary to go as hard after the left, throwing them in jail for months and decades at a clip, to insist that this is not a two-tiered society. Because when the left succeeds in making this country a two-tiered society, people go to war. People will not allow themselves to be made into slaves and prisoners by a hostile alien regime.

Congressional Republicans Propose "Defund Davos" Bill, Forbidding the Federal Government From Giving Any Money to SPECTRE
A group of congressional Republicans, led by Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), introduced a bill on Friday to ban American federal government agencies from giving grants or other taxpayer money to the World Economic Forum (WEF). "Americans need to know that the WEF wants them to only drive an electric vehicle, sell their cars and use car sharing instead, eat bugs to help solve world hunger, and to always operate based on what's good for the 'global public' even when it comes at a detriment to their own lives," Rep. Perry's office told Breitbart News this weekend.The Davoisie are getting backlash for scheming to take away people's coffee and replace it with boiled bugs. I may be speculating about part of that, but their general creed is "What's Worst For Everybody Is Best For Us."
Perry The "Defund Davos Act" is barely a page long and simply prohibits government agencies from funding the WEF. "No funds available to the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development [USAID], or any other department or agency may be used to provide funding for the World Economic Forum," the substantive portion of the bill reads. Joining Rep. Perry in introducing the "Defund Davos Act" on Friday were Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Andy Ogles (R-TN), and Matt Rosendale (R-MT).
A video featuring elites at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, discussing how coffee production contributes to climate change infuriated social media users after going viral. X users besieged the comment section of a video featuring Swiss banker Hubert Keller telling a WEF panel last week how much CO2 coffee production puts into the atmosphere, warning that "they're coming for your coffee." In the clip -- which was shared to X on Monday and has since racked up over three million views and many comments -- Keller noted just how many "tonnes" (metric unit equivalent to 2,204 lbs) of CO2 coffee makers put into the atmosphere globally when producing their product. He said, "Basically, the coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of coffee. So we should all know that this is -- every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere." Keller added, "Most of the coffee plantation -- most of the coffee's produced through monoculture, and monoculture is also affected by climate change. The quality of these nature assets is deteriorating quite rapidly." Elsewhere, the WEF contributor told his fellow panelists about how there is an opportunity to re-organize the coffee industry, which he noted is a "$250 billion market globally" to make it more eco-friendly and to address the fact that "most of coffee growers live below the poverty line." Tech journalist Tim Hinchliffe, who originally posted the clip to the platform, interpreted Keller's points to mean that coffee growers are going to be stripped of their livelihoods by massive corporations. He posted, "They're going after coffee farmers. When he says production is 'fragmented,' he's saying it has yet to be captured by corporations & centralized. The coffee farmers in the globalist-termed 'global south' are to be stripped of their livelihoods in the name of climate justice." Hinchliffe added, "He's putting a guilt-trip on coffee drinkers for supporting poor coffee farmers because they don't know any better in their 'monoculture' endeavors. It's all a power grab to seize land and the means of production to carbon tax you and I to oblivion."

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Failure theater? Possibly, because at this point, anything the Republicans in Congress do should be suspect. But that is one hell of a stern letter, so we should all hope for the best! Here is a sober analysis of the issue, and it pokes holes...lots of salmon-sized holes, in pretty much every argument in favor of destroying these dams (read the whole thing...it's good). There is no replacing the Lower Snake River dams
“The Columbia River System and the Lower Snake River Dams are the beating heart of the Pacific Northwest, yet that hasn’t stopped the Biden administration from apparently colluding with special interest groups to lay the groundwork to remove them. We are deeply disturbed by the blatant disregard for the enormous hydropower, irrigation, and navigation benefits these dams provide, as well as a willingness to ignore the voices of those who depend on the dams the most. It’s past time for full transparency from the Biden administration. This hearing will provide an opportunity to expose how its plans will destroy people’s lives in Eastern Washington.”
Failure theater? Possibly, because at this point, anything the Republicans in Congress do should be suspect. But that is one hell of a stern letter, so we should all hope for the best! Here is a sober analysis of the issue, and it pokes holes...lots of salmon-sized holes, in pretty much every argument in favor of destroying these dams (read the whole thing...it's good). There is no replacing the Lower Snake River dams
The clean energy, efficient navigation, recreation and irrigation made possible by the dams are irreplaceable benefits. Amid calls for breaching the four lower Snake River dams, a recent review by Gov. Jay Inslee and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray found it would cost up to $31 billion to replace the various economic benefits they provide. The report underscores the value of the dams and demonstrates why it's really not possible to replace their benefits.
Two years ago, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a study that rejected the idea of breaching the Snake River dams as a way to improve salmon survival. The comprehensive, four-year, multimillion dollar analysis -- called the Columbia River System Operations Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) -- specifically considered and rejected dam breaching, recommending water management strategies instead to improve salmon survival.And here is a press release from some smug, c*cksucking environmental group. You know what it says already, but if you enjoy reading arrant bullsh*t... Important step toward removing the Lower Snake River dams, replacing their services, restoring abundant salmon, and honoring America's promises to Tribes Ah...honoring our promises? How about starting with the oaths that our scheming politicians have taken to uphold the Constitution. Once they demonstrate that they can honor that pledge, we can move on to honoring our promises to Indian tribes, because the fate of a few hundred thousand salmon on the Snake river is pretty damned trivial in the grand scheme of things. California destroyed the Central Valley to save a bait fish...is Washington trying to compete for the title of stupidest state? Or is it simply an environmental Cloward-Piven strategy?

The Morning Report — 1/25/24
“First of all, [Donald Trump] has a cognitive disorder. It wasn’t that he just had a slip of the tongue of using a name one time for another. Anybody can do that. But he was making a case. But really more dangerous than than getting us mixed up, more dangerous was his charge that we were not accepting his troops. We begged him for hours and hours. Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, to send the National Guard and he wouldn’t do it. His his underlings, the Secretary of the Army and the Acting Secretary of the Defense wouldn’t do it.”If you can stand the bile rising in your throat and BP exploding, listen to anything she has ever said and you come to realize that she does not speak in rational, well thought out sentences. She's a minimally competent automaton who can barely string pre-digested talking points, insults and platitudes together in a sort of protracted babble. Like the quote above. She just wants to get it all out at once which she is able to do only because she has hack propagandists willing and eager to just let her go off, unchallenged. The incredibly chutzpocritial comment about Trump having a cognitive disability is a howler. Not only considering that Joe Biden shuffles around like the bastard child of a Roomba and a Dalek searching out a pre-pubescent girl to fondle but that she herself as an advanced octogenarian has "issues." Worst of all is in the rest of the story, that I did not post, she has the fucking gall to outright lie about her intentionally leaving the Capitol unprotected on 1/6. It was Trump and his colleagues that begged her to beef up security and refused. Not vice versa. Anyway, far too much real estate but I think what it illustrates is their complete desperation. After everything being flung at Trump, which has done nothing but make him even more popular and almost a martyr, all you have left is this bullshit about his cognitive ability? Watch this have the effect of putting Joey's rapidly melting brain center stage. Well done, Pelosi! In any case, things are heating up along the Rio Grande. Greg Abbott has in essence told the asshole contingent at SCOTUS, no doubt acting at the behest of the Kalorama Klown Komintern, to go piss up a rope. Whatever razor wire the Feds cut down will be replaced with all speed. This is now becoming a situation. Oh boy.
A Texas congressman has urged [fake spurious] President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border. The call was made by Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro after Abbott posted on X, formerly Twitter, saying the Texas National Guard would continue to "hold the line in Eagle's Pass," a popular migrant crossing point, stating: "Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden's absence." Castro re-shared Abbott's post on his own X account, adding: "Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border. As of this writing, there has been no action on this by the Biden [junta]. This idea by Rep. Castro raises some interesting questions: 1 - Were the President to activate the Texas National Guard under Title 10, what would their orders be? To assist federal officers in throwing open the gates?First, Joaquin Castro is an insidious, rabid racialist and Marxist who has a hate on for America as founded. See his full rap sheet here via the invaluable Discover the Networks. He's a huge fan of what is known as la Reconquista, the reconquest of much of the western United States he feels stolen by the Yanquis from Mexico. Much of that crap comes from a pseudo political and totally racist hate group known as "La Raza," "The Race" in English, which his mother was/is intimately involved in. Don't bother looking it up as a group being monitored by the SPLC or the DOJ. And yet "replacement theory" is crazy talk, right? Funny, La Raza rhymes with Gaza. But I digress. Second, the gall of this puta madre to claim Abbott is responsible for the chaos on the border is off the charts. But, that's a hallmark of Leftists. Projection. And Joe Manchin is a clueless douchebag. Biden and his handlers have intentionally erased our borders and fomented an invasion of the numerical equivalent of one of the largest armies in the world. The chaos, dislocation, criminal violence and potentially terrorist violence, individually or as one or more mass events, that is being unleashed and soon to be unleashed is the greatest national security threat the American people have ever faced. Not too fine a point but I believe this is an act of treason on the part of Biden, Mayorkas and anyone who aids, abets and supports this, both in and outside of government. Right now, Greg Abbott is a patriot for holding the line. And for the moment he is in the wheeled catbird seat for one big reason: the 2024 election. The Biden/Democrat-created crisis via the complete erasure of our border and anything remotely resembling normal, rational immigration control is the issue that will decide the election. Even staunch Democrat blocs, especially American blacks, are being directly impacted by this and they are going from pissed off to being full on enraged. Their last desperate wunderwaffe (I can't think of something funny with V-2 and vagina), a.k.a. abortion is not going to help them. The situation at the border mirrors the junta's fiasco with Israel. Biden is caught between his desire to help destroy Israel that his crazy Muslim-Leftist base wants, and the outrage from most quarters about the attack and simultaneous eruption of anti-semitism that he's been forced to address. Now, he'll either have to admit there is a crisis – again one that is intentional and of his making – and reverse course, which will no doubt piss off the hardcore Marxists (and the Gas Chamber of Commerce), or do nothing and let Greg Abbott become a national hero. Or, most dangerously, he can send armed Federal troops down to Texas and ignite a full blown incident which could have untold repercussions. And remember, this is an election year when everyone's eyes are on him. Especially the eyes of Texas which are now the eyes of all of us as honorary Texans. Like everything else over the past three or more years, freedom itself is at stake. And here's another one of those lost-in-the-sauce items that has major ramifications for everyone:
2 - What happens if members of the Texas National Guard refuse activation and instead continue to follow the orders of TX-ANG officers and Governor Abbott?
3 - What if the Texas Guard splits, and former comrades end up facing each other across that red line?
4 - If the Pentagon sends federal troops, how willing are they going to be to confront other Americans to allow the continued invasion of the country?
5 - Is there any possibility that there may be open conflict between Texas and federal officials? I'm no wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, but this is the kind of thing that civil wars start over. Meanwhile, Senator and possible No-Labels Presidential candidate Joe Manchin (D-WV) is advising another course, in advising [fake spurious] President Biden to declare a national emergency over the illegal immigration crisis. . . . . . It's unlikely in the extreme that the Biden [junta] is going to declare a national emergency on the illegal invasion of the southern border; this [junta] has spent three years denying that there is any such emergency. Add to that the fact that neither side here looks like they are considering backing down.
The pro-life activists are accused of violating the FACE Act and civil rights conspiracy for a protest that took place in a hallway outside of a Mount Juliet abortion provider on March 5, 2021. On that day, a group of demonstrators gathered on the second floor of an office building in the hallway outside the Carafem Health Center Clinic. The group prayed, sang hymns, and urged women showing up to the clinic to not get abortions. Eleven of the protesters were arrested for trespassing at the time after local police arrived and dispersed the crowd. In October 2022, the 11 pro-lifers were indicted by a federal grand jury after the Justice Department pursued charges against them arguing that there was conspiracy by the group to stop the women from accessing so-called “reproductive health care” and violating federal law ensuring access to abortion facilities. If convicted, the pro-lifers could face up to 11 years in prison and $250,000 worth of fines. . . . . . During the opening statement, the federal government accused the pro-lifers of plotting to “block doors to a health care clinic” and saying that the demonstrators planned on being arrested. The DOJ also said that the demonstration was not a protest, but a violation of federal law. Each of the lawyers for the defendants then had an opportunity to give an opening statement. Jodie Bell, Gallagher’s lawyer, said that the pro-lifers were peaceful and were only trying to convince pregnant women not to abort their unborn children. The other lawyers also said that their clients never injured, threatened, or assaulted anyone during the protest. Steve Crampton, with the Thomas More Society, said that his client, Vaughn, was an innocent man, and the protest was a “nonviolent, peaceful exercise.” . . . Vaughn has previously spoken about how the FBI raided his home with guns out in front of his wife and 11 children. He told the Daily Signal that federal agents came to his home “guns pointed at the door, banging on the house, yelling and screaming.” “I had kids in the yard walking out to get in the car to go to school, I was about to take them to school, and other kids in the house,” he said. “So seeing that the easiest path to de-escalation was me in handcuffs, I stepped outside and put an end to the ranting and the banging and the yelling.” The trial is taking place in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee at the Fred D. Thompson courthouse. Overseeing the case is Judge Aleta Trauger, appointed to the court in 1998 by then-President Bill Clinton.Funny how none of the useful idiot Einsatz-groupies cheering on the slaughter of Jews who blocked traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, the 405 Freeway and even the Capitol are given wrist slaps. If that. This is not about abortion. It's about not even a two-tiered justice system but a completely politicized and corrupt system that uses the law to persecute, punish and ultimately destroy anyone who stands in the way of the Leftist Counter-American Revolution of the past 100 or so years. Go Greg Abbott. Let's roll!

Overnight Open Thread 01/24/2024 [Roger Ball]
Ahoy, HORDE! I hope everyone had a great and civil Christmas. In a completely random line of thought, the banner picture may be of interest to aviation nerds and history aficionados. It is one of the few surviving, and only flying, British Royal Navy MkI Swordfish W5856 torpedo carrier aircraft. Affectionately called the 'Stringbag", it looks like it should have flown in WWI, but it is a mid-1930s design.
But what really caught my eye in the banner picture was the torpedo. I have been reading about the Pacific war in Ian Toll's fantastic trilogy about the PTO. He spends many pages on our submarine war and how very awful and dangerous our Mark 14 torpedoes were. Those torpedoes would porpoise, circle, run deep, fail to detonate, or simply sink. The early British torpedoes had their issues, but at least they went boom, as the Italian and German navies found to their chagrin. Our problems were solved by the introduction of the Mk18 electric torpedo, but that's a story for another day. Speaking of "boom," I don't mean to offend TESLA owners, but I couldn't resist:
Speaking of fire, I have been thinking for quite a while that 2024 is going to be "lit".

Totally Random
Ahoy, HORDE! I hope everyone had a great and civil Christmas. In a completely random line of thought, the banner picture may be of interest to aviation nerds and history aficionados. It is one of the few surviving, and only flying, British Royal Navy MkI Swordfish W5856 torpedo carrier aircraft. Affectionately called the 'Stringbag", it looks like it should have flown in WWI, but it is a mid-1930s design.
Technically, the craft was obsolete by the time World War II arrived, having been bypassed by sleeker, more powerful all-metal combat aircraft. But the Swordfish's sturdiness and versatility--as well as its ability to take off and land from the early British carriers--made the biplane still useful to the war effort. With the addition of an auxiliary fuel tank, the Swordfish could range some 1,030 miles, nearly double its usual range.Maximum speed was 120 knots but cruise speed with a torpedo was closer to 100 knots. Hmm, 1000 miles at 100 knots...better bring some snacks. Most significantly, her sister aircraft took part in sinking Italian Navy ships at Taranto in 1940 and sinking the Bismark in the spring of 1941. The WARFARE HISTORY NETWORK has a nice post about the airplane and engagements. Here's a pretty cool video of the Swordfish operating on the aircraft carrier.

Governor Abbott: When, in the Course of Human Events....
Governor Abbott writes that the federal government has "broken the compact" under which states agreed to loan power to a central government.
It has, as one person said, a definite "When, in the course of Human Events..." steel to it.I don't know if this invokes new action at all, as he just announces that he's already declared an invasion. He does seem to be threatening that his police and agents will act to defend Texas, and will ignore any federal statute which presumes to tell them they may not defend their own land. Declaring the state's power to defend itself to be supreme to any federal "law" is a big declaration. Will anything concrete flow from that? I don't know. Maybe this is just saber-rattling. Sometimes you do need to rattle the saber. Sometimes you even need to draw it out.The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration. Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters--one of which I delivered to him by hand--President Biden has ignored Texas's demand that he perform his constitutional duties. * President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border. * President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States. * By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas's border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State's southern border-- bridges where nobody drowns--and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande. Under President Biden's lawless border policies, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just 3 years. That is more than the population of 33 different States in this country. This illegal refusal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People all across the United

States. James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border. That is why the Framers included both Article IV, sec. 4, which promises that the federal government "shall protect each [State] against invasion," and Article I, sec 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges "the States' sovereign interest in protecting their borders." Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 419 (2012) (Scalia, J., dissenting). The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, sec. 4 has triggered Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border. Greg Abbott

Survey: The Top 1% Richest Of the Country Feel That Normal Americans Have Too Much Freedom, and That Meat, Fuel, and Electricity Should Be Strictly Rationed to the Lower Orders
Of course, the Davoisie want to ration gas, electricity, and even food for the lower orders while continuing to live like pharaohs themselves.
The full survey, "Them vs. U.S.," is here. I bet you didn't see this coming: the elites, who occupy all the seats in the media, in law, and in lobbying firms, have a good opinion of the people who make up the media, the legal profession, and the lobbying sector.
I briefly covered this earlier but this merits more than a mention.
The Daily Mail:
America's richest 1% and Ivy Leaguers say the rest of the country has TOO much personal freedom and want to ration food and electricity, shocking poll finds Elites want to save the planet by banning SUVs and jet plane vacations They're much bigger fans of Joe Biden and the government than regular voters
ers By James Reinl, Social Affairs Correspondent, For Dailymail.Com
America's top earners have been blasted as 'wildly out of touch' after polling showed their views differ sharply from regular voters on everything from climate change to personal liberties. A survey has found that 'top 1 percent' earners and Ivy League graduates are much keener on banning and rationing cars and air travel in pursuit of climate targets than the rest of the country. They also expressed an authoritarian streak -- nearly six in ten members of the elite say there's too much personal freedom in the US, many times more than for ordinary voters.
The Committee to Unleash Prosperity, a free market advocacy group which led the poll, said in its report that the great and the good 'live in a bubble of their own construction.'
'The people who think they run the country don't think the same things about issues like individual freedom climate change and whether the government can be trusted,' said committee member Steve Moore. 'To understand that is to understand the divide in contemporary American politics.' .... Pollsters contrasted the views of regular voters with two surveys last September of 1,000 members of the elite -- identified as those with postgraduate degrees living in cities and earning more than $150,000 a year. ... The elites support the rationing of gas, meat, and electricity to cut emissions of planet-heating gases -- more than three quarters of elites support such a Draconian policy, to which two thirds of regular Americans are opposed.
Of course, the Davoisie want to ration gas, electricity, and even food for the lower orders while continuing to live like pharaohs themselves.
Their climate-fighting aspirations do not stop there. Elites also support banning many modern conveniences, from gas stoves, to air conditioners, non-essential air travel and gas-guzzling SUVs. Regular voters would by wide margins keep all of these, the survey showed. Elites are much keener on the US government than others. Fully 70 percent of them trust federal officials to 'do the right thing most of the time' -- more than twice the nationwide average. They also like the man at the top of it, President Joe Biden. He gets an 84 percent job approval rating from the elite -- roughly twice as high as it is for the general public. The same goes for schoolteachers and education chiefs. Two thirds of the elite say teachers should decide what kids learn at school. Regular voters are more in favor of parents deciding what happens at school, perhaps reflecting concerns about the politicized race, gender, and sexuality lessons in class.
The full survey, "Them vs. U.S.," is here. I bet you didn't see this coming: the elites, who occupy all the seats in the media, in law, and in lobbying firms, have a good opinion of the people who make up the media, the legal profession, and the lobbying sector.
Favorable Opinion of the Members of the Talking Professions At most, half of Americans have a favorable opinion of lawyers, lobbyists, union leaders, or journalists. However, almost 80% of the elites hold a favorable opinion of this group of professionals, and nearly 90% of the elite college attendees do. As for members of Congress, 28% have a favorable opinion versus 67% of Elites.
"Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different." - F. Scott Fitzgerald The people who run America, or at least think they do, live in a bubble of their own construction. They've isolated themselves from everyday America's realities to such a degree their views about what is and what should be happening in this country differ widely from the average American's. An analysis of their thinking, conducted for the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, finds that on a variety of economic, social, and political issues, there exists a wide gap between how the top 1% -- the Elites -- think things should be and how the rest of America looks at them. Elite thinking, as it's termed, is under attack -- and rightly so -- for being out of step with the rest of the country. Below, we highlight some of the profound attitudinal differences between elites and average Americans: In a time when most Americans have suffered a loss of real take-home pay, 74% of elites say they are financially better off today than in the past versus 20% of all Americans. Nearly six in ten say there is too much individual freedom in America -- double the rate of all Americans. More than two-thirds (67%) favor rationing of vital energy and food sources to combat the threat of climate change. In stark contrast to the rest of America, 70% of the Elites trust the government to "do the right thing most of the time." Two-thirds (67%) say teachers and other educational professionals should decide what children are taught rather than letting parents decide. Somewhere between half and two-thirds favor banning things like SUVs, gas stoves, air conditioning, and non-essential air travel to protect the environment. About six of ten elites have a favorable opinion of the so-called talking professions- lawyers, lobbyists, politicians, and journalists. President Joe Biden enjoys an 84% job approval rating from this group -- roughly twice as high as the general public. ... The Elites represent 1% of the U.S. population but have an outsized voice on public policy in the United States, with their views seeming somehow to dominate the national conversation. This may be because it is the Elites themselves who determine what that conversation will be about on campus, in the legacy media, and corporate board rooms. Not surprisingly, these people talk about politics far more than most Americans. The data show that nearly a third of them (30%) talk about politics daily or almost every day. Just 9% of the voting public do. It is worth noting that members of the Elites who talk about politics daily have views that are even further removed from the opinions of the voting public.
This is true even when the Elites self-identify as Republicans. They typically may be more conservative than Elite Democrats but they still have attitudes and opinions that are far removed from those of the typical American voter. The Elite class -- regardless of party -- is an exclusive club that sees and experiences America through a different lens than ordinary Americans.

CNN Exit Poll: Only 27% of Nikki Haley's Voters Were Actually Republicans; 70% Were "Independents," Including Democrats Who Declared Themselves Independent to Vote For Her
She's being bankrolled by leftwing mega-donor Reid Hoffman, and leftwingers are also her voting base?!
I shan't believe it. I simply shannot.
Democrat race propagandist Van Jones is blunt about Biden's incapacities: He advises Biden to "stay hidden," because every time Biden stumbles out into public, he embarrasses himself and makes people worry for his mental capability.
Sure whatever Van!
A CNN exit poll found that just 27 percent of Nikki Haley's New Hampshire Republican primary voters are actually Republicans. Among Trump voters, the poll found that 70 percent of them were registered Republicans while 27 percent were registered undeclared. An additional three percent were unregistered before voting. The results found a complete inverse for Haley voters, just 27 percent of whom were actually registered as Republicans, according to the poll. A majority of Haley's voters -- 70 percent -- were registered as undeclared while three percent were unregistered before Tuesday's primary. One voter told CNN that he cast his ballot for Haley to "vote against Trump." "I think it would be better to have her against Biden in the elections than it to be Trump," he said. When asked if he would describe himself as a Republican, an independent or a Democrat, the man described himself as a Democrat.Democrats are meanwhile freaking out about just how weak and feeble Joe Biden is.
Democrat race propagandist Van Jones is blunt about Biden's incapacities: He advises Biden to "stay hidden," because every time Biden stumbles out into public, he embarrasses himself and makes people worry for his mental capability.
CNN contributor Van Jones said President Joe Biden should hide from the public view if he wants to win the 2024 election because he "doesn't inspire confidence." Speaking after Trump's victory in the New Hampshire primary, making him the likely Republican nominee, Jones detailed the strategy he would give the president. "If I were Biden ... I would stay hidden," Jones said. "And I'll tell you why -- he doesn't inspire confidence. And he's not a great messenger for himself. He has done a tremendous job for this economy. Union members, union leaders ... are racking up win after win; they should be put forward."
Sure whatever Van!

Receipts Released by Judge in Wade Divorce Prove That Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq., Took Fani Willis on Pricey Cruises Through the Seven Seas of Love
The evidence is also clear that Fani Willis spent "upwards of six hours per day" on the "Aloha Dick." That's not a typo. That's what Wade calls his penis, the Aloha Dick. It means both "hello" and "goodbye" and also "got you right in the eye."
Details of the luxury cruises Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis' allegedly took with special prosecutor Nathan Wade have been uncovered as part of his unsealed divorce documents. Credit card statements included in Wade's divorce file from wife of 26 years, Joycelyn, show his spending over $6,000 on travel in October and November 2022. Lawyers for Joycelyn noted how Wade booked flights for himself, Willis, and his mother to Miami and on the same day paid over $2,500 to Royal Caribbean Cruises. Before the month was out he'd also charged $992 on Freedom of the Seas, a luxury liner that travels between Florida and the Caribbean.
"The evidence is clear that Ms. Willis was an intended travel partner for at least some of these trips as indicated by flights he [Nathan] purchased for her to accompany him," Joycelyn's attorney, Andrea Hastings, wrote in court documents.
Imma gonna go ahead and guess they did not take advantage of those amenities. Fani Willis' preferred amenities were the semenities.
Aboard ship Wade and Willis, if she was indeed with him, would have enjoyed a choice of four different pools as well as a spa, a "Casino Royale" for gamblers, a full-size theatre and numerous restaurants and bars, including the Bull & Bear English pub.
The cruise ship, which has a capacity of almost 4,000 passengers, even boasts a climbing wall, mini golf and basketball court.
... The resort's amenities include beach and poolside services, couple's spa treatments, activities such as lessons in how to play "blackjack and roulette 101" and vintage wines served at its posh resort bar. Yet another cruise charge was added in November, with Wade paying over $3,000 to the Norwegian Cruise Line. Although the exact details remain under wraps, Norwegian operates luxury cruise ships boasting "romantic suites with queen beds, private balconies" and onboard shopping, live music and steakhouses, and "enough lube to squeeze a Volkswagen through a gopher hole."I don't believe that last claim. I think the NY Post is slipping. Disgusting filth! The Love Boat: Skinemax before cable. (Loni Anderson and Donnie Osmond at 3:30.)

The Fabulous Fifth Circuit Puts the Kaibosh on Biden's Lawless Drive to Ruin Your Appliances
It's just a conspiracy theory that Biden is illegally f***ing up your appliances.
It's such a conspiracy theory the Fifth Circuit had to tell Biden to stop.At the WEF: They talked up the tons of CO2 produced in creating a ton of coffee, and attacked the "monocuture" of coffee seeds. These are the preparatory steps the WEF takes before working through its octopus-like network of Nazi-Marxists embedded in world governments to ban something.
In January of [2022], the Energy Department finalized a rule to restore "efficiency standards" for consumer appliances -- residential dishwashers, dryers, and washing machines -- that had been rolled back during the Trump administration. "The Trump rule," Bloomberg Law reported at the time, "had created new short-cycle product classes that weren't subject to any water or energy conservation standards." Earlier this month, a federal appeals court filed a ruling that was welcome news to Americans who find it head-scratching that the federal government is aggressively dictating the standards of our cleaning appliances. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit rejected the Energy Department's effort to tighten those standards, determining the regulations were "arbitrary and capricious" and dismissing the government's claim that the 2020 rules were "invalid."

Wednesday Morning Rant
The Fifth Floor
If you've spent time in one of America's decaying and formerly-great cities recently, you may have noticed how bifurcated they are. The great cities are in fact two cities within the same space. There is the nice city, and the awful city. They are the same city in fact, but not in spirit. They occupy the same acreage, but at different elevations.
On the surface, the cities are hellholes. Walking down the streets, you will be treated to the stench of urine and learn to dodge aggressive vagrants and various drifts of refuse both human and artificial. You will see plenty of graffiti-covered plywood and the deep filth ground layer by grimy layer into the sidewalks while wondering if your car will still be there when you get back.
Then you go inside, enter an elevator and increase your elevation.

The Morning Report — 1/24/24
. . .while she promises to soldier on, the results so far suggest that neither she, DeSantis, nor a half-dozen other Republicans who sought the nomination ever had a good chance of success. Instead, it appears to me more likely that Trump would have won no matter who challenged him, how much money they raised or how well they ran their campaigns. That conclusion reflects the former president’s victories in Iowa and New Hampshire as well as his prospects ahead. Incredibly, polls in the next 10 states on the GOP calendar all show him with a lead of at least 30 points, including Haley’s home state of South Carolina. The upshot is that rather than searching for the whys of the other candidates’ defeats, we should instead come to grips with why Trump could prove to be unbeatable in the primaries and why he has a real chance of winning the White House a second time. The short answer is that we are witnessing a durable political movement unlike any seen in modern America. The part of the electorate that hates Trump really, really hates him, yet it is matched in size and intensity by those who see him as the last, best hope. Without that enormous well of support, he would have been crushed by the coordinated onslaught against him. And yet that same onslaught, much of it the result of unfair media coverage and partisan actions that shattered political norms, also played a major role in his revival. So did the mistakes of Trump’s Republican opponents, all of whom misjudged his hold on the party and its most faithful voters. One example: he has won a majority in each of the first two states. . . . . . As if [the Russia collusion hoax, impeachments and kangaroo court prosecutions] weren’t enough to bring Trump’s political corpse back to life, Biden did the rest by proving day after day that he was not fit for the Oval Office. . . [Biden] was and is, quite simply, a terrible president, arguably the worst ever. From his bumbling, befuddled appearances to his enormous policy failures that are helping spark domestic and global tensions, he managed to boost the case for the man he had soundly defeated. Because many of Biden’s key failures are in areas where Trump had succeeded, including the economy, controlling inflation and achieving border security and peace abroad, voters have a handy comparison that tilts in Trump’s favor.There is only one reason for Haley to stay in the race. To slime Trump and make him waste time, effort and most of all money in battling her instead of focusing on Biden and/or whoever the Democrats might replace him with. This is neither delusion nor ego. This is pure political calculus and backstabbing. If you needed any proof of her utter lack of character and her true allegiances, this is proof positive. In any case, I don't think it's going to work. The only thing the Democrats have is fear mongering on abortion. Even if every shrill shrieking shrewish Karen gets the urge to shout their abortions and Roe, Roe, Roe the vote, the tidal wave of abject disaster as represented by Biden's intentional multi-million-migrant invasion and erasure of our border will swamp that big time. And speaking of which, back to the border we go where, despite Julia Roberts and Amy Coney Island siding with the hack leftists, Governor Greg Abbott shows he's got spine and is on a roll (that goes out to Buck Throckmorton!)
The Texas National Guard continued to install razor wire along the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Biden [junta] could cut through or remove the razor wire. “The Texas Military Department continues to hold the line in Shelby Park to deter and prevent unlawful entry into the State of Texas,” Texas said in a statement. “We remain resolute in our actions to secure our border, preserve the rule of law, and protect the sovereignty of our State.” The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Monday in favor of the Biden [junta]. The order said that Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh all would have denied the Biden administration’s request. Images emerged on Tuesday showing the state of Texas doubling down on its efforts to stop [fraudulent] President Joe Biden’s illegal immigration crisis by continuing to lay razor wire along the border. “The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line in Eagle Pass,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden’s absence.” “The logical concern should be why the Federal Government continues to hinder Texas’ ability to protect its border, all while allowing for the exploitation, dangerous, & inhumane methods of permitting illegal immigrants, including children, to illegally cross a dangerous river where many have lost their lives. Texas is the only state using every strategy & resource to protect its sovereignty, combat criminal activity, & discourage illegal immigration. #Texas will continue to hold the line.”THIS. It will be interesting to see how Biden's handlers react to this. It used to be that Obama would issue some sort of bullshit executive order and while we were playing with ourselves via the courts, he'd be laughing his ass off and playing "catch me if you can!" By the time a case made it, it was either dismissed, ruled in Obama's favor, or a decision made moot since the damage the order created was too deeply ingrained to reverse. And then it was the usual "Wait until we win both chambers of Congress and the White House, and then we'll really fix them! Please send donations to . . ." Lather, rinse, repeat. Recall that between 1/20/2017 and 1/20/19 we not only had both chambers but we were populating the lower courts with supposedly conservative judges and would wind up with 3 more on SCOTUS. How'd that work out for us? That why I am cheering on Abbott because what he's doing is huge and is hopefully a shot across the bow if not a rhetorical redux of The Shot Heard Round the World (and I don't mean Bobby Thompson off of Ralph Branca), not just in terms of the border and immigration but on every other aspect of our lives that an overbearing, overreaching, feral, and frankly illegitimate bureaucracy and/or tyrannical edicts via executive order or a rubber stamp mockery of a corrupted judiciary will impose on us. And with all the constant sturm und drang with the border, the election, the Middle East and everywhere else where tyranny is on the march and good people are trying to fight back, shit like this which is part and parcel of the corruption that all of us here are railing against risks getting lost in the sauce. But it's just as crucial as all the rest.
“Nothing about the crimes of conviction was of defendants’ own making,” Judge McMahon wrote in her opinion. The “real lead conspirator” in the case “was the United States,” she continued. FBI informant Shahed Hussain roped Cromitie and three other black Muslims, already released, into the plot. “The FBI invented the conspiracy, identified the targets, manufactured the ordnance,” McMahon noted. The agency “federalized what would otherwise have been a state crime by driving three of the four men into Connecticut… and picked the day for the ‘mission,’” she wrote. While McMahon branded Cromitie’s anti-Semitism and agreement to take part in terror attacks “heinous,” she stressed “he could never have dreamed up” the plot on his own. Authorities have been accused of using similar tactics against right-wingers. Efforts to convict a group involved in a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer were dogged by mistrials and acquittals after defense lawyers argued federal informants enticed the defendants into the conspiracy.Ah yes, the FBI. Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. And if you believe that, I have a couple of pipe bombs I can let you have real cheap! Not to worry; they were bought second hand from Industrial Light & Magic, not the Muslim kid who made that clock for his science project.
The video footage, shot on January 6 by a camera installed across the street from the pertinent events, shows two SUVs parked right next to the DNC bench near which one of the pipe bombs was found. One SUV belongs to the D.C. cops, and one to the Secret Service. According to Beattie, they were working jointly on security that day. In the video, we see a man wearing a backpack appear on the lower right side of the screen. Walking at a leisurely pace, he approaches the D.C. police, leans into the driver’s side window, and talks to someone. This is the moment, says Beattie, when he informed the police that he’d seen a pipe bomb. By the way, as this Blaze video shows, that man with the backpack was almost certainly a Capitol police officer. Backpack Guy leisurely strolls off-camera, and the Capitol Police and Secret Service remain in their vehicles. Then: Instead, a minute or so goes by while nothing happens. Then, police officers and Secret Service agents emerge at a leisurely pace from the SUVs and kind of stand around. A group of school children walks within feet of what law enforcement has been told is a pipe bomb, and the officers and agents do nothing at all. One of them eventually walks over and takes a photo of the pipe that may be a bomb. Only later does a robot defuse it. What’s certain is the Capital Police and Secret Service didn’t do the bare basics required in response to a bomb threat, to say nothing about a confirmed explosive device. This is all the odder in that they were there that day to protect Kamala Harris, who was days away from being sworn in as Vice President. She was in the building. What’s even more interesting is Beattie, while on to something, doesn’t quite apprehend exactly what he’s found. Why should he? He’s a journalist, and apparently a good one, but he’s not a cop. He doesn’t think like them, have their instincts, or know their protocols.What's even more interesting is that three years on, the FBI has yet to make any arrests. This after using every sort of high-tech resource available to create a national dragnet in the hopes of ensnaring anyone who was anywhere near the Capitol on 1/6/21 to charge them with insurrection and ruin their lives. It's almost as if these bombs were part of a plot to fake an insurrection and then let the Deep State run with that. Nah. That's crazy talk.
