As a fan of Edward Hopper I couldn't help but take this photo in Greenwich tonight.

(Note: Nature photographers and editors are sometimes pretty dishonest. For all I know, this little goat did die, and then maybe they edited in another goat making the climb and just claimed it was the first goat.)

You know that video I posted late last week? Where a giant tortoise kept asking to have his shell scratched? Apparently they love that.

You know when they say that if an animal charges you, you shouldn't run, but instead stand your ground? I don't know if that works most of the time but it works here.

Is this a real video? I'd like to think so.

The Week In Woke

The hateful anti-Christian David French is back at it again:

Via Grateful Calvin at Twitchy, here's the Follower of Judas David French attacking Christianity:

But that is hardly the universal experience people are having with America's religious surge. There is darkness right alongside the light. Christians stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 ...

Trump: the vile and violent left-wing "has the Devil's ideology."

Taylor Swift did a Racism just by being white. That seems to be the most common form of "racism" today, the "just by being white" kind.

This philosopher's post excerpted by Ed Morrissey:

But as Rev. Dr. King points out, the protectors of the status quo are not so much those on the far right, but those who purport to be left-of-center, but who remain moderate in their thinking and their actions.

Are flag-wielding, MAGA-shouting Trump supporters a problem? Yes. They're horrifying. But the biggest obstacle in taking down fascism isn't far-right extremists.

It's "liberals." It's "progressives." It's "democrats."

It's folks with "BLM" in their bios who live in majority-white suburbs and send their kids to private school. It's folks who claim to be allies to the queer and trans communities and then have gender-reveal parties when pregnant. It's people who look at the United States' descent into fascism and ask, "How did we get here?" It's folks who compare their European ancestors' immigrations to what Black and Brown immigrants are experiencing today, as if race is inconsequential.

It's Taylor Swift -- and the majority of her fans.

Taylor Swift is a white woman whose success relies on cultural narratives of the fragility and purity of white femininity, while practicing zero interrogation into her own whiteness.

And her fans run to her defense whenever that is criticized. "But she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris!" they press, not realizing that this proves the point: Moderate politics dressed up as leftism don't stand a chance against far-right extremism, a lesson I wish the Democratic Party would learn.

...

What makes Taylor Swift dangerous isn't that she writes lyrics that could serve as the background music to a pro-eugenics Sydney Sweeney ad. It's that she lacks the self-awareness to see how those two things could be connected.

They've been pushing this line for decades: You must be an "ally," and you are only an "ally" if you commit to the most extremist form of "anti-racism" (actually, straight up anti-white racism) imaginable. If you fail to match the zealotry of the most extremist member of the left's cult, you are excommunicated.

Thankfully, some people are finally starting to jump off this never-ending treadmill of violent left-wing escalation. At some point, even the stupidest liberal sees a rigged game in which they can never win, only constantly lose and be degraded as "bad allies."

Susan Collins' would-be Democrat challenger for Maine senator identified himself as a "communist" and branded all white people "racist" and "stupid."

Now that this has come to light, he's claiming he didn't really mean it when he repeatedly said these things.

Maine Democrat Graham Platner, who is seeking his party's nomination to run against Sen. Susan Collins (R.) in next year's midterms, called himself a "communist," claimed to own guns because he doesn't "trust the fascists to act politely," and accused "white rural America" of being racist and stupid in a series of social media posts, CNN reported.

Platner posted on Reddit under the name "P-Hustle," according to the now-deleted posts. In a 2021 response to a post about people getting more conservative as they age, Platner wrote, "I got older and became a communist." He made the post on a far-left subreddit called r/Antiwork that recommends Karl Marx books to readers.

r/Antiwork is even more infamous for just declaring that no human beings should work at all, and we should all just mandate infinite welfare from a government which has no money because no one is working and paying taxes.

The candidate also said that white people are racist and stupid. Replying to a post titled "White people aren't as racist or stupid as Trump thinks," Platner, who is white, wrote, "Living in white rural America, I'm afraid to tell you they actually are."

Maine, a purple state, is one of the most rural states in the country and has a population that is more than 90 percent white.

Platner in a statement to CNN tried to downplay the severity of his social media posts. "That was very much me fucking around the internet," he said. "I don't think any of that is indicative of who I am today, really."

These posts are from 2021. This is not about a Youthful Indiscretion with anti-work grifter communism.

He's also, get this, pro-terrorist.

Platner also sparked controversy in September, when the Washington Free Beacon uncovered an op-ed he wrote after 9/11 in which he argued that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" and lamented that "every terrorist is portrayed as evil."

In the Reddit posts, Platner also described himself as "a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days." The former vet said that after serving in the military, "I've pretty much stopped believing in any of the patriotic nonsense that got me there in the first place."

"Still got the guns though," he went on. "I don't trust the fascists to act politely."

Platner reserved some of his most incendiary comments for the police, writing, "Fuck these cops," and replying to a comment saying "Cops are bastards" with "All of them, in fact."

Content warning: Trans commentator "India" Willoughby -- real name "Herb" or something, I don't know -- goes to town on his fake breasts while standing naked in a women's changing area, pretty much establishing himself to be an autogynephile. He himself declared that he had never seen a fully naked woman in a locker room, thus establishing, by his own admission, that he is not a woman.

Another "ALL AGES" pride party featuring drag queens and likely male prostitutes. I dunno, all of their photos feature them about to give a dude a blowjob or else touching their own genitals. I don't know what job apart from "prostitute" allows that kind of behavior.

If you're a fan of watching tone-deaf withered hippies "sing" songs that were musty and broke-ass even during Woodstock, or if you're a fan of cringe like I am, you'll want to watch this decrepit hippie hootenany. The Party of Youth, yo!

ZeroHedge: Feminists have discovered "Nose Ring Theory" and they are not happy about it.

"Nose Ring Theory" says, depending on who you ask, either that batshit-crazy women want to broadcast to the world that they are insane and toxic and do so by the same cultic mutilations (full sleeve tattoos, unnatural hair color, and, of course, septum piercings) or that women with septum piercings "make their traumas their entire personality." Or both. They're not incompatible.

Feminists have noticed that people are noticing their insanity and are, get this, insanely angry about it.

Feminists seem to have recently discovered "nose ring theory" and they are not happy. They admit that the theory is somewhat accurate, but they also argue that men are not being honest about why they are avoiding feminists. They say that men are scared away by the septum ring (feminism) because it represents "freedom" and a "woman who will not be controlled". In reality, it simply indicates a women who has succumbed to woke ideology, a form of insanity that very few men are interested in dealing with (and these women then wonder why they are living alone with their cats).

Jimmy Kimmel's Ratings Have Now Fallen Lower Than They Were Before His Dangerous Disinformation Propaganda

Before that: All of the cable "news" networks are seeing their ratings fall.

MSNBC and CNN saw the biggest losses, of course.

Fox News, long a dominant force in cable news, maintained its position at the top despite the downturn. The network averaged 2.483 million total primetime viewers and 243,000 viewers in the Adults 25-54 demographic during Q3 2025. For total day viewership, Fox News recorded 1.568 million total viewers and 159,000 in the demo. Compared to Q2 2025, the network saw a 6% decline in total primetime viewers and a steeper 20% drop in the demo. Total day figures showed a 4% decrease in total viewers and a 21% decline in the demo.

...

MSNBC faced even more pronounced declines during the same period. The network averaged 802,000 total primetime viewers and just 66,000 in the Adults 25-54 demographic. For total day, MSNBC recorded 492,000 total viewers and 41,000 demo viewers. Compared to Q2 2025, primetime viewership fell by 20% in total viewers and 27% in the demo, a drop attributed in part to anchor Rachel Maddow's transition to hosting her show only once a week. Total day numbers reflected a 17% decline in total viewers and a 28% drop in the demo.... As a result, MSNBC's rankings slipped, moving to third place in primetime total viewers and dropping from 15th to a tie for 20th in the demo alongside Investigation Discovery. For total day, the network fell from second to third in total viewers and slid three spots to 14th in the demo.

CNN also struggled to retain its audience in Q3 2025, averaging 538,000 total primetime viewers and 87,000 in the demo. Total day viewership stood at 396,000 total viewers and 61,000 demo viewers. Compared to Q2 2025, CNN's primetime viewership remained flat in total viewers but fell 17% in the demo, while total day saw a 2% dip in total viewers and a 14% decline in the demo... In the rankings, CNN placed fifth in primetime total viewers and tied for 10th in the demo with Discovery Channel and Nick at Nite. For total day, the network climbed one spot to fourth in total viewers but held steady at sixth in the demo, tied with the Food Network.
freestar

The sharp declines across all three networks highlight a broader trend in the cable news industry, as audiences increasingly turn to alternative platforms for information and entertainment.

On to Schlubby Jimmy Kimmel.

Earlier, we saw that his ratings plunged over 70% from his post-suspension high.

And now they've fallen below where they were before he got Pity Views from Trump Deranged leftists.

Kimmel had renewed interest and lightning in a bottle. But he squandered it by refusing to change the same act that got him booted in the first place.

By continuing to politicize every current event, Kimmel has impressively lost 85% of his post-suspension bounce in just a few weeks among key demographics. With ratings hovering around 1.7 million viewers, his collapse in viewership is now lower than it was pre-suspension.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" wasn't cancelled because of government "crackdowns" on free speech, as some proclaimed, but because consumers stopped valuing Kimmel's program. His show was incongruous with their viewing habits and the national conversation, and it may face similar and necessary repercussions again.

American politics has long been fused with entertainment, and people are getting tired of it. The abundance of television shows like "South Park," popular music, and celebrities lampooning or critiquing current events has made politics inescapable. Pew Research Center (PRC) found that almost two-thirds of Americans feel exhausted when thinking about politics. More in Common's Hidden Tribe report found that most Americans are frustrated by division and tribalism, wanting officials to heal, not inflame, culture wars.

...

Deloitte's 2025 media consumption survey revealed only 49% of consumers have cable or satellite TV subscriptions -- down from 63% three years ago -- a mass departure partially driven by a market oversaturated with political content. An observed desire for hosts to separate politics from programming has skyrocketed the demand and consumption for alternative media, which they find more trustworthy.

Watch out for the accounting/tax firm Deloitte -- they're SETTING THE RIVERS ON FIRE, says DEI Dum-Dum Alexandria Donkey-Chompers.

Welcome to Islamo-Nazi Britain: Jewish Fans Barred from Attending Soccer Match in the UK Because Muslims Are Literally Threatening That Their "Safety" Cannot Be Guaranteed

Muslims (who else?) demanded that Jewish fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv not be permitted to attend a local game, and the UK police announced that it is now enforcing Islamic Sharia law, and would be barring Israeli fans because of "security" concerns.

The do not mean that Israelis will put Muslims in danger.

They mean Muslims will start murdering Jews and the police don't want to get involved in stopping the pogrom. Arresting people for tweets is about the level of commitment they can manage.

Here was the threat written by a barrister and Member of Parliament:

Pressure mounted Friday on police authorities in the English city of Birmingham to reverse a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans attending a Europa League game at Aston Villa next month over security concerns, a decision that drew widespread condemnation.

Behind the scenes, the government was seeking to resolve the row, which comes at a time of heightened worries about antisemitism in Britain following a deadly attack on a Manchester synagogue earlier this month and calls from Palestinians and their supporters for a sports boycott of Israel over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the police recommendation to bar the visiting team's fans from the Nov. 6 game was "the wrong decision" and that "the role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation."

Starmer spokesman Geraint Ellis said Friday that "the prime minister has been angered by the decision" and the government was working urgently to overturn it.

Simon Foster, the elected official in Birmingham responsible for overseeing the local police force and holding it to account, also urged an "immediate review," while local Mayor Richard Parker called on authorities to find "a workable solution" that may involve the government covering some policing costs.

Security worries over game

Premier League team Aston Villa said Thursday that police had informed the club that "they have public safety concerns outside the stadium bowl and the ability to deal with any potential protests on the night."

West Midlands Police said it had deemed the match to be high risk "based on current intelligence and previous incidents," including violence and hate crimes that took place when Maccabi Tel Aviv played Ajax in Amsterdam last season.

JRR Tolkein came from the Midlands. I think that's why he called it "Middle-Earth." (There's also an old Saxon term like "Mittle-erd" or something.)

Now it's just yet another Islamic shithole.

Fan bans are not unheard of in European soccer, but are typically based on a history of violence between fans of rival clubs. There is no history of violence between Aston Villa and Maccabi fans.

Look at terrorist-promoting AP dance around what the real source of danger might be!

However, Maccabi fans have been increasingly in the spotlight over the past year or so, partly linked to the war in Gaza. Most notably, Maccabi fans clashed violently with city residents in Amsterdam last season when the team visited for a Europa League game against Ajax.

Oh? They clashed violently with "city residents"?

Which "city residents," AP?

A "British" Minister of Parliament congratulated the town he'd threatened into banning Jews for their discretion in submitting to Islam:

Joy Behar: Republicans Don't Want to Come on to "The View" Because We're So Smart and Incisive They Know We'd Carve Them Up

I like to imagine she was wearing blackface when she said this. Just for the extra Moral Authority.

Joy Behar is again taking shots at Republicans -- this time claiming they're too "scared" to appear on ABC's The View.

During Tuesday's broadcast, Behar insisted GOP lawmakers won't come on the show because they're intimidated by the all-female panel, paraphrasing a recent comment from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to make her point. "I think we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don't want to come on -- they're scared of us," Behar said, before adding, "Marjorie Taylor Greene says that Republican men are afraid of powerful women."

Greene's actual words were more specific: "A lot of the men here in the House are weak. There's a lot of weak Republican men and they're more afraid of strong Republican women."

Behar's attempt to spin Greene's criticism into a broader dig at the GOP came during a segment about guest bookings. The hosts said they'd like to have more political diversity on the show -- a claim that's been made before but rarely materialized. "If they would come on this show and explain what they're trying to do to this country, I'd like to hear it," Behar said, inviting Republicans while simultaneously accusing them of cowardice.

Mitch McConnell Takes a Hard Fall in Public Again

Gerontocracy.

Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell took another fall Thursday inside a Senate office building, adding to a growing list of health scares for the 83-year-old Kentucky Republican. The incident occurred as McConnell was heading toward the Capitol for votes when he appeared to lose his footing, grabbing at an aide's arm moments before hitting the floor. Staffers and a Capitol Police officer quickly helped him up, and McConnell waved to onlookers before carefully walking away.

Video of the fall was captured by members of the left-wing Sunrise Movement, a climate activist group known for confronting lawmakers in the halls of Congress. McConnell's office has not yet released a statement about the latest incident.

The veteran senator--who announced in February that he will not seek reelection next year--has faced a string of similar episodes over the past few years. In 2023, McConnell suffered a concussion and a fractured rib after a serious fall that required hospitalization and a short stay in rehab. He later experienced multiple on-camera "freezing" episodes that raised new concerns about his health. Earlier this year, McConnell briefly relied on a wheelchair after what aides described as lingering mobility issues related to childhood polio.

McConnell will eventually be replaced by the Democrat governor Andy Beshear. The Kentucky legislature passed a law stating the the governor can only appoint a senator from a list given to him by the legislators, but I don't think the state constitution contemplates any such restrictions, so the law will be found to be unconstitutional.

So this power-craving ghoul will wind up giving us a Democrat senator at some point. To be fair: Barely a difference.

Plot Twist: Another Member of "Big Tish's" Family of Butch Criminals Is a Fugitive

We already read that one of the grand-nieces ensconced in Big Tish's fraudulently-obtained properties is a criminal absconder with open warrants in another jurisdiction.

Now we find out the other family member living at one of Big Tish's many grifter-pads is a felon who lied on her gun purchase application, Hunter-Biden-style.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is housing a second criminal family member at her properties in Virginia -- and The Post can reveal she and her big sister were partners in crime.

James' grand-niece Cayla Thompson-Hairston, 21 -- who is an OnlyFans star with a public, X-rated social media presence -- was charged in April 2024 with lying about her felony criminal record when she tried to buy a gun in Suffolk, Virginia, according to court docs.

Cayla was legally "disqualified" from owning a firearm due to an August 2020 felony charge of malicious wounding -- which Virginia law defines as a crime in which a person "shoots, stabs, cuts or wounds any other person, or by any means causes bodily injury, with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable or kill."

Thompson-Hairston was a juvenile at the time, and the records of that case are sealed.

The weapons charges were later dropped because they learned Cayla's malicious wounding charge was pleaded down to a misdemeanor, prosecutors said.

In 2019, when Cayla was just 15 years old, she was also caught up in the criminal hijinks of her big sister, Nakia Thompson, 36, who is a wanted fugitive by North Carolina authorities with a slew of arrests, according to docs.

Cayla's social media profile includes photos of her flashing her naked body and also flashing cash alongside a boyfriend.

She recently announced she was pregnant and has posted numerous videos of herself dancing with her baby belly exposed.

...

Both family members -- Cayla Thompson-Hairston and Nakia Thompson -- live in houses owned by James that have been at the center of federal criminal scrutiny over mortgage documents that James signed.

James said that the property, which she bought in 2020 for $137,000, was a "second home," and that she would primarily occupy it.

The feds, however, say she moved Thompson in and collected rent on the property soon after she bought it -- and that her alleged lie allowed her to get a better rate on her mortgage, a $19,000 gain.

I bet these family members are living in the homes as cover. I think she was renting these places out, but now that she's been indicted, she kicked out the renters and invited her criminal thug family members to move in, to make it look better at trial.

James has denied wrongdoing, and Thompson told the federal grand jury that she was living at the house rent-free.

Of course. Because you were invited in as a prop for the upcoming trial. "These are all my primary residences, I let my family live there, that means it's almost as if I'm living there."

The under-fire AG covers the costs but does not reside at the home, according to neighbors.

...

For that home, James was accused of signing a mortgage document stating it would be her "principle residence" -- despite her job being 350 miles north in New York.

James said she co-signed the $219,780 mortgage with her niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, who lives there full-time. She said that when she realized the error, she had the document amended to note that James would not reside there.

Shamice is the mother of Cayla, who lives with her, and Nakia -- who lives at James' other Norfolk property. A third daughter, Courtney, also lives with Shamice.

Shamice? Seriously?

...

During the arrest, the officer said one of the sisters swore at him, and told him to "get the f--k off her," according to the criminal report.

Thompson was also hit with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for bringing teenage Cayla -- as well as her two children -- on her crime spree, records obtained by The Post show.

She later pleaded guilty to one charge each of petit and grand larceny and was given two years probation and ordered to pay $2,020 in fees.

Via David Strom, who also includes this: every single mortgage Big Tish signed over the past 42 years has fraudulent information on it.

Kash Patel Files First-Ever Terrorism Charges Against Two Antifa Men
Plus: John Bolton Surrenders Himself for Arrest and Booking

What a dummy, doesn't he know that these two men don't even exist?

Good luck prosecuting ghosts, you big dope.

Two men identified as Antifa members were indicted Wednesday on federal terrorism charges for what authorities describe as a coordinated assault against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas. The indictment, unsealed Thursday, accuses Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts of attempting to murder federal officers, providing material support for terrorism, and discharging firearms during the attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado on July 4.

FBI Director Kash Patel called the case a historic milestone. "For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism," Patel said in a statement obtained by Fox News. "This was a planned and coordinated terrorist attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, where armed extremists tried to murder U.S. officers on July 4th." He added that the arrests were made "under President Trump's new authorities at record speed," noting that more than 20 individuals tied to the same Antifa network have been apprehended. "No one gets to harm law enforcement. Not on our watch," Patel said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the indictments as a major step in the Trump administration's crackdown on left-wing extremism, describing Antifa as a left-wing terrorist organization that will be prosecuted to the fullest. According to the Justice Department, the suspects were part of a larger group of black-clad individuals who opened fire on ICE personnel and local police officers outside the detention facility. Surveillance footage and recovered weapons show the attackers were equipped with AR-style rifles, body armor, and two-way radios.

Court documents describe how the suspects fired on an Alvarado police officer responding to a 911 call, striking him in the neck, while other gunmen unleashed up to 30 rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility. The indictment quotes one of the men shouting, "Get to the rifles!" moments before opening fire. Twelve sets of body armor were later recovered from vehicles and nearby wooded areas, along with spray paint and fliers reading, "FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!" and "FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS."

Meanwhile, Oregon declares that it's in open rebellion against the Union.

Portland's City Council voted Wednesday to officially enshrine its "sanctuary city" status into law -- defying President Donald Trump's intensified crackdown on illegal immigration and further insulating local law enforcement from cooperation with federal immigration agents.

The 12--0 vote approved both the "Protect Portland Initiative" and a companion ordinance that formalizes how the city will resist federal enforcement operations led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The move came after a lengthy public hearing dominated by activists and residents urging the council to stand against Trump, according to The Oregonian.

Mayor Keith Wilson celebrated the outcome, describing it as a "clear and powerful message" that Portland would not bow to federal pressure. "We are a proud sanctuary city in a sanctuary state, and we will continue to live our values -- even when federal directives make it difficult," Wilson said in a statement, vowing to use the new framework to push back against what he called "federal overreach."

And the morbidly-obese JB Pritzker says he's a neo-confederate.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is floating an extraordinary idea -- that Democrats could one day prosecute Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for doing their jobs. In an interview this week with FOX 32 Chicago, the Democrat governor suggested that state and local prosecutors may pursue criminal charges against Department of Homeland Security officials and ICE agents operating in Illinois, a self-declared sanctuary state. "The tables will turn one day," Pritzker said, hinting that prosecutions could come after President Trump leaves office. "These people should recognize that maybe they're not gonna get prosecuted today -- although we're looking at doing that -- but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out."

Pritzker claimed he has been in discussions with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and several state's attorneys about how they might pursue legal action against federal immigration enforcement officials. "We're talking to the state's attorneys and Attorney General to see how they can go at this because what we want to make sure is that they follow the law," Pritzker said, framing ICE's enforcement of federal immigration statutes as potential criminal behavior.

Tricolor Auto Failure Follow-up: JPMorgan Takes a $170 Million Hit; Trump Disbands the Government’s DEI Agency that Was Involved

A few weeks ago I wrote about the failure of Tricolor Auto Group: “Tricolor Auto’s Failure Has It All : ESG, Woke Capital, Illegal Immigration, Securities Fraud, Government Diversity Programs, BlackRock, etc,”

The fallout continues, with a humbled Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, acknowledging the bank’s irresponsibility as it takes a $170 million hit for its involvement with Tricolor. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has just dismissed the entire staff of the woke agency that gave a federal imprimatur to Tricolor’s fraudulent operation.

A brief recap:

• Tricolor was a company that sold and financed cars, and it’s target market was Spanish-speaking illegal aliens.

• President Trump’s crackdown on illegal aliens not only caused a cessation of sales, but it pretty much brought an end to repayment on Tricolor’s loans, too.

• Money center banks such as JPMorgan had securitized about $2 billion of Tricolor’s very high risk loans. These securities (which are now nearly worthless) are much like the bundled, sub-prime mortgages from the 2008 financial crisis.

• JPMorgan and Fifth Third Bank also had outstanding lines of credit to Tricolor.

• The federal government under President Biden had given its seal of approval to Tricolor and its securities, certifying them as “social bonds” under the US Treasury’s CDFI program (“Community Development Financial Institution Fund”, because Tricolor’s customer base was “underserved communities,” primarily Spanish-speaking non-citizens.

• Tricolor was engaged in a massive fraud, with the same collateral pledged to multiple loans and securities.

• At the time of my original piece, Fifth Third had acknowledged a $200 million loss from Tricolor exposure. Since then, JPMorgan Chase has acknowledged that is it taking a huge loss.

JPMorgan’s quarterly loan charge-offs increased by almost $200 million in Q3 2025, which was almost exclusively due to one borrower – Tricolor. CEO Jamie Dimon had to acknowledge the bank’s irresponsible lending to Tricolor:

“Jamie Dimon Sees More Than One ‘Cockroach’ Likely After Tricolor Bust” [Bloomberg – 10/14/2025]

The dramatic collapse of subprime auto lender Tricolor Holdings hit JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s earnings in the third quarter, contributing a $170 million charge-off that led to the bank’s elevated credit-cost figure and sparking an ominous warning from Jamie Dimon. “When you see one cockroach, there are probably more,” the bank’s chief executive officer said on a conference call with analysts Tuesday. “Everyone should be forewarned on this one.”

If there are more cockroach loans like Tricolor that are about to blow up, it is not an economic indicator, rather it is an indicator that banks and investment houses abandoned their underwriting standards in pursuit of woke cred.

I’ll also argue that it’s not fair for Dimon to blame employees whose “discipline” was lax…

The Morning Report — 10/17/25

Good morning kids. So mustachioed egomaniac Deep State blowhard John Bolton was indicted for the alleged mishandling of documents.

he FBI raided Bolton’s home in August. The investigation began several years ago over “stealing classified documents and weaponizing them for political purposes.” The Biden junta shut down the investigation, but the Trump administration’s FBI reopened it. . . Man, this will be another stain on the Biden junta if the prosecutors can prove their case. I think we all know why Biden’s DOJ closed it down…Bolton has become such a loudmouth anti-Trump talking head.

Indeed. One of the few negative aspects to President Trump especially in his first term was his reliance on D.C. government lifers to fill out his team as advisers and cabinet members. His belief that their loyalty to their nation outweighed whatever partisan leanings they had was a grave miscalculation as we all are well aware by now. Whether Bolton was involved in the Comey/Clapper/Brennan/Clinton cabal that cooked up the Russia collusion hoax, there is no doubt that he cheered it on. Not because he believed it but because he knew that Trump was an existential threat to the Deep State club that he was a card-carrying member.

The most egregious aspects of this is not so much that Bolton's warped worldview mirroring that of foggy Bottom and the self-styled elitists there and in every department and agency of the bureaucracy as a whole, has led to carnage around the world and the wastage of life, money and human potential here at home. Bad as that naked unvarnished truth is, it's the inbred beady eyed scumbag media whores like Joe Scarborough et al claiming that the prosecution of Bolton, and that criminal whore Letitia James are political retribution. The chutzpocrisy of that considering the wave of false charges and lies hurled at candidate and then President Trump, just beggars the imagination.

On an encouraging note

“First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas. Under President Trump’s new authorities we’ve made 20+ arrests,” he said on X.Court records and public reports state that on the night of the attack, a group of ten to 12 individuals dressed in black tactical gear ignited fireworks and spray-painted anti-ICE messages such as “ICE pig” and “traitor” on vehicles and buildings. Once officers responded, gunfire erupted. One officer from the Alvarado Police Department was shot in the neck from a concealed position in nearby woods. Another assailant reportedly fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed ICE staff.

So, is Antifa an actual bona fide organization(s) or is it merely a political ideology where individuals alone or in groups act alone or unite to commit acts of political violence/terrorism. Much like Muslims who disavow or obfuscate the motivations of Muslims who commit acts of terrorism in the name Islam, which is not extremist, radical or otherwise but is in fact observing/practicing the so-called religious precepts as they are written in the Koran. To not do so and to actually condemn them truthfully (not disingenuously via the concept of taqqiya) would be to commit an act of blasphemy that would bring a fatwa on one's head which could rapidly separate it from one's shoulders (see Theo Van Gogh and Salman Rushdie for examples).

as for Antifa, if indeed they are being financially backed and politically protected (Portland Oregon for sure the latter), the Democrat-Left either approve of their actions if not politically benefit from them.

This item also warms the cockles of the heart

Trump Eyes IRS Overhaul To Go After George Soros, Leftist Donor Networks . . . The move would allow the administration to more easily control the reins of the IRS criminal-investigative division, The Wall Street Journal reported.

For those who say this could come back to bite us one day If or God-forbid when a Democrat once again wins, or steals the White House. Between Obama and Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, conservatives have been persecuted, imprisoned and censored for years. A president Titty-Caca Ocasio will unleash or at least attempt to unleash hell on the GOP and conservatives since after all we are all white supremacist fascist Nazis posing an existential threat to their precious democracy.

Imagine an entire government top to bottom of Luigi Mangiones and transexual mass assassins.

With that in mind, this so -called No Kings protests are slated for this weekend:

The Communist Party is well known for its opposition to kings, it prefers other sorts of unelected tyrants like ‘premiers’, ‘general secretaries’ and ‘commissars’.
. . . The CPUSA platform, as of 1919 (as published in The Ohio Socialist) was that “the Communist Labor Party of America declares itself in complete accord with the principles of Communism, as laid down in the Manifesto of the Third International formed in Moscow” in which “the working class must organize and train itself for the capture of state power” and “this new working class government — the Dictatorship of the Proletariat — will reorganize society on the basis of Communism, and accomplish the transition from Capitalism to the Communist Commonwealth” which will consist of “organs of administration created and controlled by the masses themselves;
such as, for example, the Soviets in Russia”.

What would that look like in America?

“The Party shall maintain strict control over all members elected to public office — not only the local organizations, but the National Executive Committee. All public officials who refuse to accept the decisions of the Party shall be immediately expelled.”

As I stated, a government run top to bottom by Luigi Mangiones. At one point though, they'll likely turn the guns on themselves because like Pogo "They have met the enemy and they is us!" No, not because they suddenly had an epiphany but because the Bolshevik faction wants to do away with their Menshevik rivals and control it all for all time.

Have a great weekend!

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.

JOHN BOLTON INDICTED ON 18 COUNTS UNDER THE ESPIONAGE ACT FOR SERIAL MISHANDLING OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

John Bolton is a very, very serious person who is very, very proper in his handling of classified information, unlike that demonic parvenu Trump.

What kind of ur-Boomer uses an AOL email? And for sending classified information?

Bolton is accused of using his private AOL email account to transmitclassified information and record diary-like notes of his daily activities and assessments throughout his time in President Trump's first administration, sources told The Post in August.

The account was hacked by an unidentified foreign entity at some point, according to a probable cause warrant unsealed last month -- meaning some of the secret information may have ended up in the hands of foreign governments or other bad actors.

Per Greg Price's screen shot of the grand jury information, the "unidentified" foreign country is identified, and it's Iran.

The warrant redacted all other information related to the hack.

Investigators also found classified information during their raids, with agents confiscating documents related to weapons of mass destruction, the US mission to the United Nations, government strategic communications and secret travel memos, according to court records.

Even if Bolton had no intention of releasing the information, he could be held liable if sensitive documents were left lying around where others could get to it -- a legal provision that applies to his personal email account as well.

...

Upon his dismissal by Trump in September 2019 after 17 months as national security adviser, Bolton told officials that he "did not have any notes or other records from his government service," according to court documents.

The National Security Council began to suspect that was untrue upon receiving a manuscript of Bolton's 2020 book, "The Room Where it Happened," which the first Trump administration claimed included classified information.

"As written, the manuscript is very detailed, suggesting that it was likely produced from notes written by your client during his service at the White House," then-NSC senior director for records, access and information Ellen J. Knight said in a letter to Bolton's attorneys.

CNN reports the sad news: This buffoon and circus clown has been indicted on 18 counts.

John Bolton, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser-turned-adversary, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Maryland.

He now faces 18 charges: eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.

Prosecutors wrote in the indictment that during the time he was national security adviser to Trump, Bolton shared "more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities" with two unauthorized individuals. Both of those people were related to Bolton and didn't have the authority to access classified information, prosecutors said.

Print-outs of "diary" entries were also found in Bolton's home, according to the indictment.

Bolton is expected to surrender himself, as soon as Friday, to authorities at federal court in Greenbelt. His case was assigned to Judge Theodore D. Chuang, who was appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama in 2014.

"The FBI's investigation revealed that John Bolton allegedly transmitted top secret information using personal online accounts and retained said documents in his house in direct violation of federal law," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. "The case was based on meticulous work from dedicated career professionals at the FBI who followed the facts without fear or favor. Weaponization of justice will not be tolerated, and this FBI will stop at nothing to bring to justice anyone who threatens our national security."

In Tim Walz's Communist Shithole, High Schools Are Offering Blacks-Only Courses With Whites and Asians Specifically Forbidden to Attend

The classes are about "black culture" and "black queens."

They need a blacks-only ambiance so that no one feels pressured to behave and pay attention in class and otherwise "act white."

Several Minneapolis public high schools prohibit white and Asian students from enrolling in a set of courses on black culture, documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. The courses contribute toward Minneapolis Public Schools' (MPS) electives requirement, and white and Asian students must therefore choose from a narrower list of options in order to graduate.

One of the proscribed courses, "BLACK Culture -- Building Lives Acquiring Cultural Knowledge," is open only to black men. Another, "BLACK Culture -- Building Lives Acquiring Cultural Knowledge (Queens)," is open only to black women, a practice civil rights attorneys say almost certainly puts the schools in violation of civil rights law.

South High School, Minneapolis's oldest and largest public high school where a large majority of students are black or Hispanic, lists the two courses in its 2025-2026 curriculum guide. The former examines "the complexity of the black male experience by exploring the lived reality of black men in the United States," the latter "the experiences of Black girls in public schools." The school's guide explicitly states the courses are open to "All black male students" and "All black female students," respectively.

Another Minneapolis public school, Roosevelt High School, offers one of the two courses, according to a course catalog, which states the course is "for Black girls (Queens)" who "will explore different topics relevant to their lives as Black students." The girls, designated as "Queens," will "build a sisterhood" and, among other goals, "learn about creating healthy, positive relationships" over the year-long course.

Edison High School and North High School offer both courses, according to course catalogs.

Left-wing curricula is commonplace in deep-blue public school districts like MPS, which has spent millions of dollars to incorporate "ethnic, racial, and cultural diversity" into its K-5 math curriculum. The Minneapolis public schools are about 30-percent black and 20-percent Hispanic--a much higher proportion than the city's overall population.

The public schools require students to take at least one ethnic studies course to graduate high school. The requirement, which was in effect for the first time for the class of 2025, comes after the city's downtown was damaged by rioting in 2020 in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, which took place not far from South High School.

Requiring all students to take ethnic studies courses is likely legal. Racially segregated classes, however, are likely illegal.

"It is extremely hard to imagine how this could possibly be legal under either Title VI or Title IX to literally have programming explicitly open only to one race," Dan Morenoff, the executive director of the American Civil Rights Project, a public interest law firm, told the Free Beacon, referencing federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination based on race and gender.

South, Edison, Roosevelt, and North high schools did not respond to requests for comment. MPS did not respond to a request for comment.

The "BLACK Culture" courses are offered in collaboration with MPS's Office of Black Student Achievement, according to the course catalogs. "A lot of times within our education system, black students are expected to conform to a white standard," the director of the office, Dena Luna, told the Wall Street Journal in 2023. "In our spaces, you don't have to shed one ounce of yourself because everything about our space is rooted in Blackness."

So, to ask the obvious question: If I want to create my own "space" where white behavior is encouraged, I'm allowed to exclude blacks, right?

Schmolls and Rumors of Schmolls

Before you complain: Just consider, I'm sick. Every hour since I've woken up I've gotten worse chills and cold sweats.

I think I just picked up Sudden Covid. Is that a thing?

I'm playing injured over heah, coach.

So a schmoll post is about all I'm physically capable of.

This isn't a schmoll per se but an indicator of what Democrats' internal schmolls are showing: Barack Obama is jumping into the Virginia gubernatorial race to save CIA Sleeper Agent Abigail Spanberger.

If you remember, Obama jumped in at the last minute to save Clinton Crony and illegal donor Terry MacAuliffe from the threat posed by Glenn Youngkin.

That didn't work out for them.

Same tired message. Same tired messenger. Same circumstances. Same ... desperation.

And maybe the same result? Tough to say, as Youngkin was in a better polling position than Earle-Sears is at the moment. However, momentum has begun to shift, and Democrats know it. And Obama himself is not the same figure as four years ago, when the post-January 6 political climate was much different. Obama and his entire foreign-policy team just got depantsed in Gaza, and much of his domestic policy team -- which also helped run the White House during the Biden Regency -- has been discredited in Donald Trump's successes in closing the borders, enforcing law, and accountability for lawfare waged by Obama's allies.

So what are their schmolls showing? I dunno, but this new schmoll shows the Democrats fading fast:

InteractivePolls
@IAPolls2022

NEW VIRGINIA POLL

GOV
🟦 Spanberger: 47.5%
🟥 Earle-Sears 45.3%
🟨 Charles: 0.8%

⬜ Not sure: 5.9%

LG
🟦 Ghazala Hashmi: 46.2%
🟥 John Reid: 46.1%
⬜ Not sure: 7.7%

And Democrats' hopes of winning back the House are fading.

Democrats' odds of taking the House, even without the Supreme Court taking away their illegal racist advantage, continue to fall.

Kalshi is a federally regulated financial exchange and prediction market platform that allows users to buy and sell "event contracts" tied to the outcomes of real-world events. Essentially, a wagering site where you can cash in on predictions of future events.

One such event, whether or not Democrats or Republicans will have control of the House after the 2026 midterms, has seen quite a bit of action. The latest action should have Democrats feeling a little uneasy.

The resistance party, according to Kalshi, had an 83.8 percent chance of gaining control of the House on April 11th, while the GOP's chance of maintaining control stood at just 16.3 percent. Those were respective highs and lows for each party at the time.

Since then, the downward slope for the Democrats has been pretty pronounced on their charts. As of today, the Democratic odds have dropped to 62.6 percent--a 21.2 percentage point drop.

CNN's highly excitable poll analyst Harry Enten points out that Democrats have a penny-ante three point lead. Given that most polling companies (deliberately?) oversample Democrats, I'd say they have no lead at all.

"You look back in 2017, you saw that the Democrats had leaped up to an eight-point advantage. I remember covering this. I remember a lot of folks, including myself saying, you know what? Republicans look pretty decent right now, in terms of the fact that they had the House, they had the Senate, they had the presidency, but things were likely going to flip," he added. "And I was looking for the same signs this year. The bottom line is, it hasn't happened, Kate Bolduan, it hasn't happened. Democrats have stayed basically steady, they have fallen off the pace." ...

"If both sides max out, we're probably looking at a GOP gain of plus seven House seats," he said, noting that statistic does not factor the Supreme Court's present consideration of the Voting Rights Act, which could end the use of race to draw congressional districts.

"If you add that in, then you could be looking about adding 10, 12, 15, 17 on top of this seven seats ... It's a different new landscape," Enten said. "And we're not quite sure how much Democrats will have to be ahead in the national House vote in order to gain control."

Haxios: Democrats Plot Coup Against Lumpy Jack

They want to primary John Fetterman because he's not a lunatic cultist.

That's paywalled -- so that federal layabouts have an excuse to pay Haxios taxpayer money -- but Stephen Green gives a peek beyond the paywall.

Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest, threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation.

Why it matters: Democrats haven't flipped a GOP Senate seat since Fetterman did it in 2022. He's still popular with Pennsylvania voters, even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.
Potential Democratic challengers are already bashing Fetterman -- and each other -- years ahead of schedule.
Some Democratic officials are openly contemplating running against Fetterman or keeping the door open to a Senate bid in the event he retires.
The big picture: Democrats who could run against Fetterman include Reps. Brendan Boyle and Chris Deluzio and former Rep. Conor Lamb, according to multiple political insiders in Pennsylvania.

1️⃣ Boyle has been loudly critical of Fetterman on TV and social media, calling him "Trump's favorite Democrat" and accusing him of visiting the president at Mar-a-Lago to "kiss the ring."
2️⃣ Deluzio has been cultivating a national brand as a young populist leader from the Rust Belt.
3️⃣ Lamb has won the praise of progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for repeatedly attacking Fetterman, who beat Lamb in the 2022 Democratic primary.
The other side: When Axios began reporting on this story, Fetterman texted, "Enjoy your clickbait!"

Asked a follow-up question, Fetterman said, "Please do not contact."

Marco Rubio's State Department Begins Cancelling the Visas of Violent Foreigners Who Cheered the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

GTFO.

The State Department announced Tuesday that six foreign nationals have had their U.S. visas revoked after making vile social media posts mocking the assassination of Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk. Officials said the individuals -- from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, and Paraguay -- made "deeply offensive" remarks celebrating Kirk's death and warned that further action may be taken.

"The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk," the agency wrote on X. "@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America's hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed."

The department shared screenshots of each post followed by the blunt phrase "Visa revoked." One Argentinian user called Kirk "racist" and "xenophobic," while a South African national mocked mourning Americans, writing that "the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom." A Mexican poster went further, saying, "There are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead." The others included a German who wrote, "When fascists die, democrats don't complain," and a Brazilian who said Kirk "DIED TOO LATE." A Paraguayan commenter labeled him "a son of a b*tch."

NBC Lays Off 150 "Journalists," Sacking Its Black, Latinx, and Gay DEI Unites "NBC BLK," "NBC Latino," and "NBC OUT"

Racist homophobic NBC has officially joined MAGA.

They're slashing their payrolls in anticipation of spinning off basket-case MSNBC from also basket-case NBC "News." Also, they hate blacks and gays. Anytime you take an action adverse to the interests of any blacks or gays that means you're acting out of "hate," right? Right?

NBC News eliminated its teams dedicated to covering issues affecting Black, Asian American, Latino and LGBTQ+ groups as part of its layoffs of about 150 staffers on Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the matter, a significant culling as the Peacock network separates from its sister news network, MSNBC.

The cuts mean that the verticals NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT will no longer have dedicated teams bolstering their coverage. The verticals will continue to publish stories related to the specific groups and NBC News may ultimately retain up to five staffers who will contribute coverage on the verticals to the newsroom, according to one source, as the dedicated teams focused exclusively on these verticals are sunset.

The total reductions, which affected NBC News' entire news operation, make up about 7% of NBC News' newsroom of about 2,000 staffers and 2% of the wider NBCU News Group, which includes Telemundo and the network's owned-and-operated local news stations. The cuts did not target specific teams and were driven by the network's budget and the desire to streamline its editorial efforts, according to one source.

...

The job losses came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations, as MSNBC has moved under the spun-off company Versant....

The layoffs also reflect the media industry's larger retreat from efforts focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. Gannett, the nation's largest newspaper chain, removed mentions of diversity from its website in April and said it would stop publishing demographic data on its website. Disney also rebranded its internal DEI efforts last week to "Opportunity & Inclusion," according to Puck.

MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of talent from NBC News, the Washington Post, Politico and others as it builds its newsgathering operation. It plans to launch its rebranded image -- including its new name, MS NOW -- in the coming weeks.

LOL, sure.

CBS will also be laying off "journalists" soon:

I don't know about you, but the thing I miss most about cutting the cord is Jake Tapper's Enormous Honker. If I could see that big sneering nose and hear it honking like a flock of Canadian geese again, I'd just be ever so happy.

Speaking of failed network CNN: David Ellison has been looking to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, and thus CNN, as part of his spending spree to become an absolute media magnate. I don't know why they would even want the debt-plagued WBD. I sure as hell don't know why they'd want CNN.

Paramount made its offer to WBD, and the offer was refused. They're now preparing a bigger offer.

Paramount Skydance (NASDAQSKY) is preparing a second bid for Warner Bros. Discovery after its initial bid was rejected, according to a Los Angeles Times report on Sunday, which cited a person familiar with the matter. Warner Bros. Discovery shares rose 3.6%.

Billionaire Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison has agreed to help finance an offer from Paramount Skydance, which is run by his son David Ellison, according to the report.

The update comes after Bloomberg reported on Sunday that Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) initially rejected Paramount Skydance's (NASDAQSKY) bid for roughly $20 a share in recent weeks.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is said to want upwards of $30 a share in a deal, according to a NYPost report on Monday.

I just don't know why you'd want another movie studio when you already own two (Paramount and Skydance). Warner Bros. is on a winning streak this year with a bunch of hits, but so what? The movie business is entirely hit-and-miss and cyclical.
