The Morning Report — 9/26/25
On the latest edition of the podcast, which dropped yesterday and is linked here and in the sidebar and at the usual outlets listed at the bottom of this post, CBD and I discussed the potential for mass civil unrest if not an open hot civil war given the Democrat/Leftist supported, covertly if not overtly backed round of assassinations and political terrorism against law enforcement and the citizenry. We both, as I'm sure all of you applauded President Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization. The question is is "Antifa" an actual quantifiable/identifiable organization or is it merely an ideology or common belief system among people who may or may not be loosely or closely affiliated that communicate with one another for the purposes of committing acts of civil disorder, rioting and even random mass or individually targeted violence, such as assassinations. Regardless, they and/or it must be fully investigated to uncover who and what is giving them financial and of course political cover. The question as is always the case is Cui Bono? who benefits. or who is perceived to benefit whenever cities are burned to the ground and looted or when potential leaders are taken out? If you said Democrats/Leftists you win a cookie.
“JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” Trump proclaimed in a Truth Social post. “One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI.” “Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts.” Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice, related to testimony he provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 30, 2020. In an exchange during the hearing with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Comey denied authorizing leaks to media outlets related to FBI investigations into alleged collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian officials, and a separate probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. “That statement was false, because, as JAMES B. COMEY JR. then and there knew, he in fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an FBI investigation concerning PERSON 1,” read the two-page indictment. Comey, 64, faces up to five years in prison if convicted of both counts. . . When asked by Fox News Digital if former CIA Director John Brennan, who is being investigated for allegedly making false statements to Congress related to the Trump-Russia probe, should also be charged, the president responded: “We’ll have to see what happens.” “It is up to the Justice Department, but I can tell you, it is a group of people that was very disappointing,” Trump added. “This makes Watergate look like peanuts.” “They tried to destroy our country.”While it is certainly satisfying to see this lanky hunk of piss face the music as it were, given the utterly corrupt American Justice system that allowed President Trump and many others to be persecuted via prosecution and in many cases actually imprisoned and driven to near financial ruin, does anyone really think that a not bought-and-paid-for rigged jury will be seated in front of an honest non-Hawaiian hack-in-black defender of the Leftist globalist order that will actually convict Comey? Of course he is going to skate, assuming that some sort of hinky bullshit doesn't prevent the trial from happening in the first place or that the indictment isn't tossed. I take no pleasure in writing that, as my cynicism truly wounds me deep unto my soul. When you get right down to it, the very same evil that spawned the likes of James Comey, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper and all the rest of them also created the accursed assassin who slew Charlie Kirk whose now immortal soul and all too brief life stand in diametric opposition to those of any and all of the aforementioned.

We should take the left’s invocation of John Brown seriously. It’s a call to murder anyone who opposes their agenda. On the same day this week that a leftist sniper unleashed a deadly attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, fliers were spotted on the campus of Georgetown University for something called the John Brown Club. The fliers quoted a phrase that Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, inscribed on one of the bullets recovered from his rifle: “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” Under this, the flier read, “The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.” The flier includes a QR code linking to a signup page that says, “We’re building a community that’s done with ceremonial resistance and strongly worded letters. If you want to make a real change in your community, let us know below.”The bitter irony, a phrase that I seem to be writing on a daily basis now is that the political party that benefits or is giving nod and a wink approval if not waving the bloody red flag of terrorism is the very same party that started a civil war to preserve and expand slavery across America and then to impose racist Jim Crow laws to suppress blacks and then 80 years later created concentration camps here in America to round up and imprison the Nisei who did nothing but commit the crime of having Japanese ancestry when that nation bombed Pearl Harbor. Yeah, Antifa is anti-fascist the same as Islam is a religion and a religion of peace. When you get right down to it Antifa is Democrats. Period, full stop. Everything wrong with this country, all the misery, pain, suffering, dislocation and utter wastage of life, blood, treasure and human potential is directly the fault of Democrat/Leftist/Progressivism. Far from being the champions of freedom and the downtrodden, they crave absolute power even if it reduces everyone to a rotting corpse in a mass grave. There is nothing sacred they will not desecrate in the fulfillment of their mad evil desires to lord over us. With all of that as a set up, this next story made me go hmmm:
. . . It’s time to take the left’s repeated invocations of Brown seriously, because they obviously do. Two months ago, a major Antifa plot to ambush and kill ICE agents in Alvarado, Texas, was foiled, but only after a police officer was shot in the neck. Eleven left-wing extremists, members of a North Texas Antifa cell, were arrested on federal charges of terrorism and attempted murder. They were heavily armed with rifles, pistols, and body armor. . . These recurring historical references to John Brown should be a wake-up call to the Trump administration and federal law enforcement agencies. Simply put, to invoke Brown is to justify — and threaten — political violence and terrorism.
Some really big news in the American military community broke this week, as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is convening an unprecedented meeting of his senior generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, September 30th. As the proprietor of a somewhat prolific X account that largely focuses on military matters, many people have been asking me what I think this meeting is all about, as the meeting is currently shrouded in mystery. So what do I think? . . . I would bet my bottom dollar that a big part of this meeting will serve to read the riot act to a cadre of egomaniacal senior military leaders who have lost sight of why they exist and have never been held to account for their numerous failures of recent years—a true “Come to Pete” meeting (or as we sometimes said in the Army, “wall-to-wall counseling").Psaki-psircling back to this notion of civil war or mass civil unrest should Prsident Trump's investigation of Antifa come uncomfortably close to exposing top Democrat party leadership and non-governmental leftist actors as funding and even directing them in acts of political terrorism, then, given the corruption in DC which for sure sadly extends to the now re-renamed War Department, the President must be sure that he and we are not on the wrong end of a whole lot of howitzers. Recall that Obama purged much of the Pentagon's top brass almost down to and through the lower echelons of the flag officer corps to ensure loyalty to his pervered Islamo-Communist agenda and the result was a hollowed out, unprepared military with morale at all time lows. Just what he and our enemies abroad were drooling over. And then came the miracle of Donald Trump in 2016. Holy cow and oy gevalt. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great weekend!

Daily Tech News 26 September 2025
Top Story
- Raspberry Pi has announced the Raspberry Pi 500+, which is what everyone had hoped the Raspberry Pi 500 would be, but. (Raspberry Pi)
Specifically, it includes an M.2 slot - and comes with a 256GB M.2 SSD - so storage is many times faster than using microSD cards.
It also includes 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB on the Pi 500, and 4GB on the Pi 400.
If also has a mechanical keyboard. Including the Four Essential Keys, which the 400 and 500 are both missing.
Unfortunately, all this comes at a price: Compared with the $66 Pi 400 and $90 Pi 500, it costs $200. Not unreasonable given the capabilities and quality, but something that is not quite as easy an impulse buy.

The filthy disgusting Chinese Communist Party is, admittedly, pretty good at civil engineering. A floating roadway. A bridge is absolutely merked by a flash flood. When is a bridge a tunnel? A bridgeover for a river.
A sinkhole opens in Thailand as a tunnel collapses. More video here.
In the Netherlands, they built a tunnel under an existing bridge in a single weekend. I grieve at how the US almost deliberately makes itself the worst in almost all categories.
Crocodile tunnel at the Miami Zoo.
On to the animals:
Pandas are the evolutionary equivalent of the Cracker Barrel rebrand.
Penguins taxi into take-off position.
Tiger whines at a lion.
Camouflage horse.
Dog clears a traffic snarl.
Spider monkeys DGAF about your personal space.
A rhino is relocated to a new enclosure and is very grumpy about it.

Report: A Dozen DOJ Lawyers Have Been Tasked With Investigating George Soros' Donations to Extremist/Terrorist Groups
BREAKING: CRIMINAL JAMES COMEY INDICTED FOR PERJURY AND OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS
Oh no. Before you get too excited: They're not investigating Soros' funding of terrorism yet. Now they're only looking at some information provided by a private group to determine if there's enough evidence to even justify the opening of an investigation. I think this is called the "predication" phase. Determining if there is enough of an evidentiary predicate to even open an investigation. But do remember how flimsy the evidence was for all the many, many investigations the DOJ opened on Trump and conservatives under Obama and Biden. Under Obama and Biden, the DOJ and FBI found predication everywhere they looked. Carter Page talked to a Russian once? That's predication for spying on him and everyone who spoke to him, like Trump and his staffers. Never mind that Carter Page was an active source for the CIA who was encouraged to talk to foreigners to get information for the CIA -- we'll just delete that from the record when we apply for a FISA warrant.

The New York Times is reporting that a "senior Justice Department official" has directed "more than a half dozen U.S. attorney's offices to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros." Soros is the notorious Democrat donor and billionaire mastermind behind a lot of the Left's attempts to gain power and control in America. Now it appears we may get a peek behind that curtain. According to the Times report, its reporters had the chance to view a copy of the DOJ official's memo detailing a list of charges that could be filed against Soros's Open Society Foundations. These include racketeering, arson, wire fraud, and providing material support for terrorism. The report says that DOJ department heads seem to be taking orders from President Trump so "that specific people or groups be subject to criminal investigation -- a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference." Oddly, after all the lawfare thrown at Trump since 2020, the Times has the gall to characterize this as "a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference." ... Before closing out its story by running cover for Soros, the Times referred back to a social media post Trump made in August in which he said Soros "should be charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act."

Surprise! Second Quarter GDP Growth Unexpectedly Revised Upwards from a Solid 3.3% to a Strong 3.8%
Jerome Powell will take this as a green light to raise interest rates again.
So that's not really enough for a post, so I'll add some unrelated items that also aren't enough for a full post: Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth asks Trump to finally approve the death warrant of "workplace violence" Muslim Mass Murderer Nidal Hassan.
On Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its third and final estimate of second-quarter growth, and the results blew through the doomsday chatter from the left. The economy expanded at a robust annualized rate of 3.8% from April through June, far above the 3.3% forecast and higher than the initial estimate of 3.0%. Consumer spending, long a key barometer of economic strength, also came in hotter than analysts had anticipated. Services in particular saw a strong revision upward, led by transportation, financial services, and insurance. Goods spending wasn't as strong overall, thanks to a downward revision, but Americans still put plenty of money into motor vehicles and parts. For all the media chatter about consumer pessimism, the numbers show just the opposite: Americans are spending, and they're spending big.
Defense Department Secretary Pete Hegseth is seeking the death penalty for former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people and injured dozens of others at Texas's Fort Hood nearly 16 years ago. Hegseth is asking President Trump for final approval for the military execution of Hasan, an ex-Army psychiatrist who gunned down 13 people and wounded 32 others at the Army base near Killeen, Texas, in November 2009. "I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan. This savage terrorist deserves the harshest lawful punishment for his 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays," Hegseth said in a statement to The Hill on Wednesday.The left is now freaking out. I mean, nothing new there. Let me be more specific: the left is now freaking out about the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who is the boss of all general and admirals, summoning all the generals and admirals to an all-hands meeting in Virginia, without telling them why.

Ultra-Woke Bookstore That Advertises Itself as a "Feminist Radical Space" for Drug Addicts and Is Run By "Melanated POCs" Winds Up, Get This, Shutting Down
A little humor for these bleak days.
Woke broke the bookstore. The radical Lower East Side shop that lured drug addicts to its storefront by offering free clothing, food and Narcan suddenly shut down Tuesday -- sparking internal warfare and finger pointing. Without warning, Bluestockings Cooperative announced that it would permanently shut down after more than 26 years, stating that "daily operations are unfortunately no longer sustainable on multiple fronts." ... The Suffolk Street shop blamed the closure on its failure as a worker-owned cooperative to "come to consensus around the guiding principles and practices Bluestockings should embody" -- adding that an inability to align on political and business operations directly led to the setbacks the business faced over the last two years.In other words, the feminists running this radical queer space for junkies wanted the owners to just lose money forever, and the owners, surprisingly enough, disagreed.
... Bluestockings came under intense outrage from its posh Lower East Side neighborhood, which transformed into a "zombie apocalypse" of strung-out junkies shooting up in broad daylight who were drawn to the bookstore's free and indiscriminate services. The self-described "radically inclusive" shop was a state-recognized Opiate Overdose Prevention Program and offered "harm reduction services" like Narcan, drug-testing strips and a used needle-drop off bin -- which neighbors alleged enabled the junkies. In recent years, Bluestockings plunged into around $100,000 in debt to its publishers and book distributors, according to reports. ... Neighbors, however, celebrated the closure and expressed hope that its termination would finally usher out the five regulars who have turned Suffolk Street into a drug den. "It's going to be a plus," said Marie, 68, who has lived on the block for her entire life. "I heard they were giving out free needles, which is a good thing and a bad thing because everyone knew where to go, but I guess no one was overdosing from a bad needle ... You see the [drug] exchanges in front of your face." The retired meter maid admitted that the issue has lessened in recent years, but that the street -- which houses a pre-school -- fills up with homeless addicts at night. Police pass through during the day more frequently, she added. ... Numerous "worker-owners" of the cooperative flooded the comments section of the Bluestocking's closing announcement to claim they had not been consulted before they were fired from their gigs, a move they described as "violent" and racially-charged. "My collective of in-store workers, all melanated POC, did not make this decision. the white folks on the lease who are former worker owners made this decision without consulting any of us. hold the white folks attempting to act like this was a collective process accountable. this is false and white violence," one employee by the name of Dheivanai claimed.Radical leftist black and Hispanic agitators always distinguish between "melanated folx" -- yes, they say "folx" in their message -- as their way of excluding Asians. That's why they came up with the term "BIPOC," "black and indigenous (that is, Hispanic and Indian) persons of color." To make it clear that they should get the DEI jobs, not the Asians.
... "This was not a consensus," Gandhi said. "If you're a cooperative and if you're worker-owned, the people who were actually working had not contributed to this decision."There was no "consensus" between workers and owners over whether the owners would add to their $100,000+ debt to keep the radical queer melanated POC feminists on the payroll. And then the owners, who are paying all the bills, made the "violent" white decision to stop losing money. All of this is very reminiscent of the Philadelphia coffee shop run by radical queer folx that BlackOrchid brought to our attention a couple of years ago.

AGAIN: Leftwingers Celebrate Their Latest Assassin While Also Denying He's Part of the Left
Lefties celebrated the anti-ICE murderer... before the incompetent shooter killed one of their precious illegal aliens.
Gunther EaglemanMSNBC will not stop calling ICE "the Gestapo."
@GuntherEagleman Sep 24 BREAKING: Todd Lyons was previously scheduled to appear on CNN for a different reason, but he came live as the situation unfolded in Dallas. He is NOT messing around and got right to the point! "This is the SECOND TIME now we've had a shooting at one of our facilities in the Dallas area. It's just a sad time that we have to worry about VIOLENCE against law enforcement." "You know, I've NEVER seen anything like this in my law enforcement career. I've NEVER seen THREATS on law enforcement specifically ICE increased the way it is. You know, we're up over 1,000% assaults on officers right now." "Really just a lot of the the talk that's out there, a lot of the rhetoric is just the VIOLENCE directed towards law enforcement officers JUST TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB!" The Democrats and the legacy media MUST stop inciting their comrades to violence.

New Poll Shows Republican Jack Ciattarelli Now Tied With the Virginia Carpetbagger and Congressional Entrepreneur "Mikie" Sherrill
Sherrill is a Virginian who worked as an attorney under Obama and then ran and won a congressional seat in NJ.
She's one of those many, many Democrats who enter Congress with $50,000 in the bank account and wind up with $25 million within a few years.The bulk of social media criticism Republicans have lobbed at Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., since she faced off against Jack Ciattarelli on Sunday stems from comments she made months ago on a May 21 episode of "The Breakfast Club." When radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Sherrill if she made $7 million in stock trades, referencing a report by The Washington Free Beacon, the Democratic nominee said, "I haven't. I don't believe I did, but I would have to go and see what that was alluding to..."A couple of days ago, Ciattarelli released an internal poll showing him ahead by one point:
America First InsightInternal polls tend to be much more accurate than worthless "public polling" cited in the media. On the other hand, the campaign running them has an incentive to juice the numbers to create a bandwagon effect. But now an Emerson Poll conducted for NJ channel WPIX find the two tied:

Newest Leftwing Assassin Drops: FBI Reveals That Anti-ICE Sniper Used Apps the Left Created to Track ICE Agents, Wrote That He Wanted to Spread "Real Terror"
The left claimed that because the parents of Charlie Kirk's murderer were Republicans, that means that the killer was a right-winger too. So let's check in with this newest Left-Wing Killer's mom.
Fox News
@FoxNews BREAKING: Dallas gunman used apps that tracked ICE agents, handwritten note threatened 'real terror,' FBI reveals
More details on the "Classic MAGA" assassin.
Anti-ICE gunman Joshua Jahn carefully plotted his assault on immigration officers before taking up a sniper position on a Dallas rooftop, and expressed a desire to instill "terror" in agents, new information released by the FBI reveals. A handwritten note recovered by investigators said, "Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, 'is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?'" But despite his apparent stated wish to harm immigration agents, the only victims of his attack were three detained migrants, one of whom was killed and two others left in critical condition. Jahn, who opened fire at a van near the entrance of an ICE field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning,had also conducted multiple searches of the "Charlie Kirk Shot Video" between Sept. 23 and 24, just before the shooting, FBI Director Kash Patel said in an X post Thursday. He also searched for apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents, and downloaded a document titled "Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management," which the FBI said contains a list of DHS facilities.
The sister of Dallas ICE sniper Joshua Jahn, who killed one migrant detainee and wounded two others Wednesday, has a long criminal history -- including one charge that mirrors her brother's rap sheet. Kioko Jahn, 27, has been arrested three times in Collin County and is believed to have had numerous other run-ins with the law across Texas since 2017, according to online records. Jahn was first cuffed on April 4, 2019, and charged with misdemeanor assault, an offense she seemingly pleaded guilty to seven months later in exchange for an unspecified probation term, court records show. The Fairview resident was booked again on March 4, 2022, for marijuana possession -- seven years after her brother was reportedly busted for the same charge. Her case was dismissed in August 2023. The shooter's sibling was hauled in the next day, on March 5, 2022, but later walked free on magistrate-set bond conditions, according to Collin County court records. .... The gunman -- a registered independent who voted in the Democratic primary in 2020 and last cast a ballot in 2024 -- was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following the violent attack.
Mary Katharine Ham
@mkhammer 53m
Hypothetically, do we think if an explicitly right-wing killer went to the explicitly right-wing activism app to find victims to create "real terror," that would be real big deal, bc media got 5 years of bullshit mileage out of Palin's map and Parler was removed for inadequate moderation of speech.
The left claimed that because the parents of Charlie Kirk's murderer were Republicans, that means that the killer was a right-winger too. So let's check in with this newest Left-Wing Killer's mom.
Aaron RuparThe left is also claiming, again, that any evidence connecting this obvious "anti-ICE" far-left Democrat extremist to the left is just... a false flag frame-job by the right.
@atrupar Sep 24
You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

White House: If Schumer Shuts Down the Government to Force Us to Pay For Medicare for Illegal Aliens, We'll Mass-Fire Bureaucrats Instead of Furoughing Them
The White House budget office is instructing federal agencies to prepare reduction-in-force plans for mass firings during a possible government shutdown, specifically targeting employees who work for programs that are not legally required to continue. The Office of Management and Budget move to permanently reduce the government workforce if there is a shutdown, outlined in a memo shared with POLITICO ahead of release to agencies tonight, escalates the stakes of a potential shutdown next week. In the memo, OMB told agencies to identify programs, projects and activities where discretionary funding will lapse on Oct. 1 and no alternative funding source is available. For those areas, OMB directed agencies to begin drafting RIF [Reduction In Force] plans that would go beyond standard furloughs, permanently eliminating jobs in programs not consistent with President Donald Trump's priorities in the event of a shutdown. The move marks a significant break from how shutdowns have been handled in recent decades, when most furloughs were temporary and employees were brought back once Congress voted to reopen government and funding was restored. This time, OMB Director Russ Vought is using the threat of permanent job cuts as leverage, upping the ante in the standoff with Democrats in Congress over government spending. "Programs that did not benefit from an infusion of mandatory appropriations will bear the brunt of a shutdown," OMB wrote in the memo. Agencies were told to submit their proposed RIF plans to OMB and to issue notices to employees even if they would otherwise be excepted or furloughed during a lapse in funding. Programs that will continue regardless of a shutdown include Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, military operations, law enforcement, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and air traffic control, according to an OMB official granted anonymity to share information not yet public.Schumer and the Democrats are really going to shut down the government, at least for a while, to try to force Trump to spend Medicare dollars on sex change operations for illegals. (Among other things.) Happy Thursday!

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Just like America and great Britain continued to buy German machinery, textiles and pharmaceuticals during WWII! Until the EU gets serious about the Ukraine war, and stops funding Russia, there is absolutely no claim on any shared NATO involvement. Of course that means American involvement, because while most of NATO has pledged to increase defense spending, they have yet to do so. We still pay the lion's share of European defense! But this has been the EU method for years. They talk a big game, but quietly trade with the most evil countries on earth. Take a look at the machinery that ran Iran's nuclear program...it sure wasn't Iranian. Or the steel used in Hamas's tunnels? What this sclerotic and weak continent wants is for America to bail them out yet again. Their masturbatory fantasies of American air strikes on Russian positions in Ukraine, and American tanks driving on Donbas might seem to them to be reasonable, but 250,000 American servicemen died the last time Europe decided to duke it out. Maybe they should send some of their effeminate, entitled youth into the bloodbath of Ukraine before they expect us to bail them out.
[Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!
Before the Ukraine-Russia war in 2022, Moscow provided around 40 percent of the EU's natural gas imports, along with significant volumes of crude oil and coal.
Eurostat data show that Russia's share of EU liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports stood at 12.9 percent in the second quarter of 2025, while pipeline gas accounted for 12 percent, with Norway, the United States, and Algeria displacing much of Moscow's supply. Following the EU's seaborne crude ban in December 2022, the only remaining legal flows of Russian crude into the bloc come via the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline, supplying Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic under exemptions.

Maybe they should send some of their effeminate, entitled youth into the bloodbath of Ukraine before they expect us to bail them out.

The Morning Report — 9/25/25
And I pray that the LORD in His mercy and wisdom opens the eyes, minds and hearts of those who seek our destruction to see the error of their ways, repent and find their way to salvation and redemption. Amen. And just to put the cherry on the parfait, for those still in need of an emetic, I give you today's entry from the That's Not Funny That's Sick Dept.:
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!
We still don't know who the victims were. They were listed as 'detainees,' meaning, they almost certainly were here illegally, and they were shot while being unloaded from a detention van in front of the ICE offices. They might have been awful criminals. They might have just been lower-middle class men of Latin America or another developing region looking for better economic opportunities, who ignored official warnings to self-deport. The worst the U.S. would have done to them would have been to send them back to their homelands.Considering a psychotic literal transexual-loving hardcore Democrat gunned down Charlie Kirk despite the media's failed attempt to label the assassin a MAGA Republican, I fully expect the media to claim this as a combination TPUSA/MAGA/Mossad false flag operation at any moment.
Meanwhile, California governor Gavin Newsom last night continued the Democrat Party’s vicious rhetoric that has encouraged this behavior by saying on Stephen Colbert’s leftwing propaganda show that ICE is President Trump’s “private domestic army.” Nor did Newsom stop there. The Democrat spewed the rhetoric during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night as he blasted the Trump admin’s “authoritarian tendencies” and said the “ICE issue is alarming beyond words.” “People ask, ‘Well, is authoritarianism you being hyperbolic?’ [@#$%!] we’re being hyperbolic. If you’re a black or brown community, it’s here in this country… These are not just authoritarian tendencies; these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government,” he said during a lengthy rant. …“That’s happening in the United States of America: Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing, no due process, no oversight, zero accountability,” Newsom said. “This can’t be normalized. None of this can be normalized.”This on top of 10 straight years of nonstop shrieking that Donald Trump is literally Hitler and the GOP and conservatives are white supremacist Nazi fascists hell bent on committing genocide and creating the Fourth Reichhhhhhhh-uh. And people wonder why our President was shot at twice, police stations and ICE facilities along with churches and synagogues are firebombed and on and on and on. But wait, there's more from this greasy, sleazy degenerate power-mad criminal scumbag . . .
On Tuesday, during an appearance on CBS’s “The Late Show,” Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) expressed concern that President Donald Trump was attempting to “rig” the upcoming elections. . . “So, look, I just I think it’s important to have those civil engagements. I think it’s important to dialog. It’s important to learn from your opponents, and it’s important to reconcile your weaknesses. As the Democrat Party, we have a lot of work to do to make up for our failures in the past.” Newsom added, “We got crushed in this last election, and now we’re in a position where we are struggling to communicate. We’re struggling, to win back now, the majority in the House of Representatives. And that’s a big part of what I’m doing. Not just today in terms of the work out here, raising money, but also raising awareness around how Donald Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections and how I fear that we will not have an election in 2028. I really mean that. And the core of my soul, unless we wake up to the code red, what’s happening in this country, and we wake up soberly, to how serious this moment is.”YOU HAVE NO SOUL. YOU ARE A MONSTROUS INHUMAN GHOUL. Period full stop. The fucking unmitigated chutzpocritical gall of this evil bastard is off the charts. Aside from being the source of all politically motivated violence and bloodshed for the past 200 years, the Democrat party's stock in trade is election rigging and interference as we have seen in 2020 and 1960 on a national level and who knows how many times on state and local levels, especially where Democrats have reigned supreme across multiple generations. All things considered, as of this writing, my gut tells me the the GOP is going to maintain and perhaps expand its majority in both chambers of Congress and win in 2028. And unless and until the Democrat Party and whoever is organizing and funding their paramilitary arms in Antifa, BLM and elsewhere are utterly destroyed root and branch, the aftermath of those victories will make the summer of 2020 look like a day at the beach. The ultimate goal of the Democrat Left is absolute permanent power. One man one vote ONE TIME. Or one man, alive, dead, legally registered or not, One vote (in multiples andDemocrat only), one time. Unless and until their stranglehold on the schools and the media is broken, we are heading for a terrible reckoning. The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk proved it. He was exposing them and cleaving off future generations from their poisonous siren song of socialism, perversion and dissolution. And so, they struck. Just as with Islam and Israel, there can be no two-state solution. They want us subjugated or dead. The Democrat Left pose an existential threat to the American experiment and the American Dream. We cannot endure this much longer because once they sense that they are headed for oblivion, then all bets will be off and all of us will be in their crosshairs, assuming we aren't already and all things considered, I think we are. This is not hyperbole. This is based on the most cursory exam of our history as well as human history and sadly human nature. GOD help us, and give us the strength and wisdom to see the way forward and the courage to do what we must to preserve our way of life and what was the greatest nation and society in history, and truly the last best hope for humanity, from the destruction of the forces of darkness and evil.
And I pray that the LORD in His mercy and wisdom opens the eyes, minds and hearts of those who seek our destruction to see the error of their ways, repent and find their way to salvation and redemption. Amen. And just to put the cherry on the parfait, for those still in need of an emetic, I give you today's entry from the That's Not Funny That's Sick Dept.:

Daily Tech News 25 September 2025
Top Story
- Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme and Elite Not Quite So Extreme As All That, successors to the Snapdragon X Elite family. (Tom's Hardware)
The 12 core X Elite performed pretty well among laptop chips, just slightly behind AMD's own 12 core chip, the Ryzen 370. So long as the software you were running was compatible, which wasn't always the case.
It was doomed to irrelevance by a combination of high prices and being promoted with Microsoft's doomed Recall software which absolutely nobody wants or trusts.
The X2 Elite Extreme updates the cores in unspecified ways, bumps the clock speed from 4.3GHz to 5GHz, increased the core count from 12 (8 fast plus 4 efficiency) to 18 (12 fast plus 6 efficiency), and also increases the memory with from 128 bits to 192 bits.
Qualcomm claims this will increase multi-threaded performance by 75%, and given that it has 50% more cores that seems plausible.
Laptops with the new chips will ship in the first half of next year.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - Sept 24, 2025 [Gangster of Love Rex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONTwhich means another random assortment of interweb debris. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Thank you for indulging the musings of Philosopher Rex the prior two Wednesdays. (Who was that guy?) He's off thinking more big thoughts and may return at some point. You never know. Such are the whims of the ONT. [Random top photo: Seattle]Posted by: Open Blogger at 10:00 PM | Comments (526) | Trackbacks (Suck)
Dirty Dogs Cafe
His owner is a big fan of The Three Stooges, I presume
Cat is a big fan of The Fall Guy. Elephants rob a broken-down truck carrying oranges. (The video I've posted before is of elephants robbing a broken-down truck carrying bananas.) Cat finds a nice woolen blanket to cling to. Friend, foe, or footwear? A goofy basset hound tries to smile. Another cute smile. This duck wants to win the race enough to resort to cheating. Puppy vs. Roomba. Advanced dog-cuddling techniques. Not for beginners. Dogs are so excited to be reunited with people they haven't seen for just a week or two. A magpie plays with her two dog brothers. On the other hand: Many dogs are not fond of your pet bird at all.

Quick Hits
The John Brown Gun Club -- a militia of left-wingers who train to kill conservatives with rifles -- is posting "Hey, Fascist, Catch!" posters at Georgetown University celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. Their speech is apparently welcome at Georgetown. But if you call a man a man...
A would-be DEI president agrees that white Christian men are The Real Terrorists Here.
Charlie Kirk's producer:
Andrew KolvetHogan Gidley tells CNN's vicious DEI hire Abby Phillip to her ugly mug that the left has mourned Jimmy Kimmel's five day paid suspension more than the murder of an innocent and good-hearted father of two young girls. All of the totally-not-paid leftwing influencers are repeating the same script they used with Charlie Kirk, claiming the "anti-ICE" sniper is rilly right-wing you guys, you gotta believe me bro.
@AndrewKolvet Yes, Jimmy got emotional. So what. He's emotional for himself because he almost torched his entire career. Kimmel is an unrepentant liar who tried to blame Charlie's assassination on the part of the country that just spent the last 2 weeks praying and holding vigils. What he's really saying is that he still thinks it's fair game to slander conservatives. He would rather advance his own political and cultural agenda than confront the truth. The truth is that his own side has been fanning the flames of political assassinations for years. The truth is that someone on the left picked up a gun and murdered someone on the right who advocated for peaceful debate. It's critical that liars admit they lied. There can be no restoration without that. Anything short of that is a fake and scripted cry line designed to endear him to his fans, not to make right the wrong he committed.

@micsolana
imagine tweeting a bunch of aggressively racist things. you are asked to stop tweeting racist things, refuse, and get your dumb ass fired. then, rather than even momentarily experiencing shame, you SUE YOUR JOB for the right to tweet racist things, against their wishes.

Collin Rugg"Eigenrobot" posted this about the expected James Comey indictment:
@CollinRugg Just two weeks after Charlie Kirk was murdered, Hillary Clinton suggests white Christian men are doing so much damage to our world. "The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was..." "Dominated by, you know, let's say it, white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology." "It's just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for."
eigenrobotPretty sure he's got his tongue in his cheek.
@eigenrobot this seems like a terrible idea for republicans. isn't anyone thinking about the possibility that the democrats respond with political prosecutions of their own?

Report: The Degenerate Crime Boss James Comey Is Expected to Be Indicted Within the Next Few Days
One of FusionGPS's top operatives confirms it:
Ken Dilanian
@DilanianMSNBC Former FBI Director James Comey, for years the target of President Trump's ire, is expected to be indicted in the coming days in the Eastern District of Virginia, where a prosecutor who opposed bringing the case was recently fired, three sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC. The full extent of the charges being prepared against Comey is unclear, but the sources believe that at least one element of the indictment--if it goes forward--will accuse him of lying to Congress during his testimony on September 30, 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information. The five year statute of limitations on that charge would lapse on Tuesday.
Citizen Free PressLOL. He was counting down the days. Oh well.
@CitizenFreePres
NBC reports James Comey is likely to face a federal criminal indictment in the next 6 days, including charges of lying to Congress. The statute of limitations on the perjury charge expires next Tuesday.
