Democrat NYC Comptroller and Mayoral Candidate Arrested for Attempting to Physically Block ICE from Arresting a Criminal Illegal
Update: Poll Shows Massive Support for ICE
The Democrats are claiming this was a Mostly Peaceful Violent Obstruction of Federal Officials.
The Democrats are engaging in a cynical, communist game of escalating violent confrontations with law enforcement. One of these days they're going to provoke one of their lunatics to kill ICE agents, or provoke ICE into beating the shit out of them.New York City Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by federal agents at an immigration court Tuesday after he linked arms with a person that authorities were attempting to detain. A reporter with The Associated Press witnessed Lander's arrest at a federal building in Manhattan. The person Lander was walking out of the courtroom was also arrested. Lander had spent the morning observing immigration court hearings and told an AP reporter that he was there to "accompany" some immigrants out of the building.Didn't Do Nuffin. The Democrat/Antifa/BLM credo.

(AP Photo/Olga Fedorova) In the moments before Lander was handcuffed, agents could be seen trying to physically separate him from the man they had come to detain. Lander briefly struggled to stay close to the detainee before he was pulled away. Video taken by journalists at the scene shows that agents struggled to separate Lander from the man he'd linked arms with for more than 40 seconds before wresting the two apart. A video of the arrest captured by an AP reporter shows an agent telling Lander, "You're obstructing." "I'm not obstructing, I'm standing right here in the hallway," Lander said as he was being handcuffed.

A new national survey reveals the widespread appeal of President Trump's law-and-order approach to immigration enforcement. Americans reject street violence and insist that only legal, vetted migration be permitted into our homeland. Perhaps most tellingly, Americans overwhelmingly believe that those who use violence and interfere with law enforcement deportation operations must face criminal charges. When asked specifically about this kind of violence in Los Angeles recently, 68% said the violators must be prosecuted. Only 21% deem such charges as "not important." Among men, 74% believe in criminal consequences, and only 18% disagree. In addition, nearly two-thirds of Hispanics (64%) demand these prosecutions. Importantly, this poll began last Monday, June 9, just after the weekend of violence and mayhem in Los Angeles. The public feud between President Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom of California was ongoing during the polling period of June 9-11, making this survey an especially useful barometer of public sentiment during this tension.

The 2028 Democrat primary will include someone in jail for murdering an immigration judge. They will raise $10 million.

Brad Lander is the NYC Jewish version of that sloppy Padilla creep in CA. They even look alike. Put a taco in Lander's mouth, or gefilte fish in Padilla's, and I doubt anyone could tell them apart.
I thought Lander was a fag. But:
"Brad lives with his wife, Meg Barnette, in Brooklyn where they raised two children, Marek and Rosa, both of whom graduated from NYC public schools. He loves Prospect Park, CUNY graduations, street food, and is a proud season ticket holder for the New York Liberty."
Yea, he's a fag all right.

But when old dudes who wear suits to their jobs do this shit, it isn’t a good look.

Theory:
Some small part of this is that Democrats think Trump's increased popularity with blacks is his status as a felon, so they're trying to replicate that individually for street cred.

This is what happens when your means to power is street militias.
What the street militia must be very - VERY - worried about at all times is their final fate. It only ever ends up one of two ways:
1. The system against which the street militia is fighting wins, in which case they all go down (either into prison or into graves). This is what happens after every failed revolution.
2. The system against which the street militia is fighting loses, in which case some of them are elevated to positions of top power and a plurality of the soldiers get positions in the new organization - and all the rest are slaughtered so the new powers can consolidate control. This is what happened to the SA after the Nazis took over.

The point of talking Trump's previous statements is that it's not a betrayal of his past positions. But if we're gonna talk betrayal, then hell, Trump is betraying ALL his voters if he signs thta asshole BBB bullshit.
The question is does it really matter? Trump is there to make America stronger and better and improve the conditions of the world that exists around it if at all possible, and most of all to stop the commies from bullshitting us all down the criminal hellhole drain. He is generally doing that and will continue to.
This idea of one thing being the end-all be-all, it's not. You had no other option in the end. None of us did. If putting down Iran's nuclear ambitions upsets you so much because you or others think it only impacts *Israel*, then vote for Rand in 2028. He'll get stabbed by his commie neighbor then talk up the commies real good.
But if you think holding some red diaper fuckstain over our heads for "muh principuhls" which will involve us being in twenty more different things you and other principuhled people don't want America spending time and money on, go ahead. You will be playing yourself.

They were an interesting hybrid. When the CCP disbanded the Red Guards when Mao finally died and Hua Guofeng put an end to the Cultural Revolution, relatively few of the Red Guards were either imprisoned or slaughtered by the CCP. They didn't to be. Most of them went home to their villages when ordered, where most of them were quietly murdered by the neighbors they had spent the prior years terrorizing. The CCP kicked back and let that problem take care of itself by turning a blind eye to citizens exacting vengeance for the Guards' excesses.
The notable exception as a group was the youngest female Red Guards. They were so indoctrinated and passionate about the Cultural Revolution that they more or less had to be exterminated by the army. Other than that, angry citizens took care of the problem and the Party didn't have to launch a campaign of annihilation against them. They just had to remove their protections.

When the CCP disbanded the Red Guards when Mao finally died and Hua Guofeng put an end to the Cultural Revolution, relatively few of the Red Guards were either imprisoned or slaughtered by the CCP. They didn't to be. Most of them went home to their villages when ordered, where most of them were quietly murdered by the neighbors they had spent the prior years terrorizing. The CCP kicked back and let that problem take care of itself by turning a blind eye to citizens exacting vengeance for the Guards' excesses.
The notable exception as a group was the youngest female Red Guards. They were so indoctrinated and passionate about the Cultural Revolution that they more or less had to be exterminated by the army. Other than that, angry citizens took care of the problem and the Party didn't have to launch a campaign of annihilation against them. They just had to remove their protections.

Just thinking about this...
Democrats are making spectacles at courtrooms that are not directly tied to immigration. So, they're making spectacles of themselves for illegal immigrants who have been arrested...for crimes unrelated to their immigration status.
Every single one of these people they're defending is going to be some kind of gangbanger or drunk driver or something else that people have little sympathy for.
Lord...and Republicans lost to these people for decades, huh?

A video of the arrest captured by an AP reporter shows an agent telling Lander, "You're obstructing."
"I'm not obstructing, I'm standing right here in the hallway," Lander said as he was being handcuffed.
Dude, seriously. Watch a few reels on Facebook.
When a cop gives you a legal order and tells you to step away and you don't,
THAT'S obstructing.

Something similar happened in the North regarding resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law and federal attempts to enforce it especially after the Compromise of 1850 strengthened that law.
That is why I expect political violence coming from the left to ramp up in the next couple of years which ironically worsens their ability to draw voters or even donors (other than the Omidyars or Singham (whatever) in China). Prior to the US Civil War, an asshole Northern business man funded John Brown and his gang of killers for example.
In part, the intent is destabilize the current regime and in part, the left views its role similar to that of Iran ironically that the current opponents must be destroyed so that they can never rise again. Only that way can utopia be built by the river of blood of their opponents.

No. That's far more tame than what they're going with.
Their position is "we're pro-crime so long as you're in or affiliated with The Party. Go nuts."
They're pretty clear on it.

I think the wrinkle for Trump is that a lot of people consider it bullshit and that he's actually a victim of the predatory prosecutorial system.

Blacks (huge, broad brush) have this cultural belief that they're victims of a predatory prosecutorial system. Here comes a guy who IS a victim of that system.
They empathize.
If this is how they get to 'fuck you, war,' I'm good with it. That wasn't my path, but we've all gotten to the same place.

My problem with non-count team names in general is how you refer to an individual member of the team. One member of the Vikings is a Viking. One member of the Wolverines is a Wolverine. A Yankee, a Spartan, a Cowboy, etc.
What is one member of the Liberty, or the Jazz, or the Crimson Tide?

I was surprised, because most media I saw tried to say it was around 14 million. Then I saw this poster said 4-6 millions citizens, so it's probably close.

Blacks (huge, broad brush) have this cultural belief that they're victims of a predatory prosecutorial system. Here comes a guy who IS a victim of that system.
They empathize.
If this is how they get to 'fuck you, war,' I'm good with it. That wasn't my path, but we've all gotten to the same place.
Fuck you. War.

==========
The primary mistake that blacks have made is that their history has been distorted into that they were the only victims of the PTB. Poor whites were if anything as victimized by the power brokers as were blacks as far as civil and criminal justice.
In general, most of our ruling class like that of the UK, dislike the working classes and believe them morally and socially dubious. Slavery was an extreme example of what happens when cheap labor is sought by the bosses but after slavery was illegal--the plantations, mines, etc. simply moved on to the sharecropper and corporate store model of extracting work in exchange for as little as they could pay. Racial divisions along with class were promoted by Democrats to drive a wedge into the fusion and populist politics of the 1890's between poor and populist blacks and whites.

This is not by any means the whole problem, or even the biggest part of the problem, but I have seen far too much evidence that many Republicans on the national stage, particularly in congress, are the products of narrowminded, small-town babbitry, as Mencken called it. Basically conservative in temperament, and, in their own minds, even in their ideology, but possessing a weak grasp on genuine political thought and historical context. They are very much a go-along-to-get-along crowd, easily played by their big city, sophisticated rivals in the Democratic Party. I offer as Exhibit A, my own former U.S. Senator, Richard Burr, a lawn mower salesman who more or less stepped right into national politics by winning a congressional seat in 1994, and then a Senate seat in 2004. He was constantly under the influence of Virginia's Democratic Senator, Mark Warner, and became, as a result of that relationship, and his own incurable dunderheadedness, a useless RINO.

If you watch a lot of cop arrest videos, you see the same thing - people getting pulled over on a traffic stop, then escalating the situation. Getting out of the car, hassling the officer. Making excuses. Claiming things happened that didn't. Saying "don't you touch me" or "Don't you know who I am?"

Depends on location. Turnout was astonishingly small in places where I'd expect it to be high (Houston, for example) and much higher in places I'd expect it to be a ghost town.
My little city of about 30k people had an event - not officially part of the "No Kings" thing, but on the same day and in "solidarity" (though never said with *what* they were in "solidarity"), organized by the county Democrat Party.
My city went 60% for Trump and the county went 70% for Trump. I'd estimate around a thousand demonstrators. Mostly Boomers and blue-haired (literally) Millennials. Very few 20-somethings from what I saw, and far more women than men. The Boomers were much closer to sex parity than the Millennials, who were overwhelmingly women. A handful of kids dragged along by the parents or grandparents.
Even if there were a lot of carpet-baggers bussed in to man the line (possible), that indicates that the Party views my town as important. Astonishing turnout for my burg, and deeply worrying regardless of the specifics.

The local media was doing all it could to frame the crowd in a way that made it seem much larger than it really was. I walked by one of the little local ones. Maybe 20 people. The little local blog crowded them all together in a storefront and said it was over 100.
So stupid.

The liberal media in NYC is constantly pimping a gaggle of dykes shooting basketballs out of their twats as some kind of real sport. There are daily articles about the Liberty, who shot the most balls out of her twat, and -- surprisingly -- a lot of Mean-Girl type shit that exposes these clowns for the toxic bitches they are.

One common theme - these people interfering genuinely seem to think they are allowed, by some rule or law, to interfere. Thye seem shocked when the officers ignore them and arrest them.
They remind me of spoiled teenagers, in their mentality.

Supposedly 1 million aliens have been deported under the get $1000 reward to go home without charges program.
They also get a shot at LEGAL reentry. The rest do not.
So the ones that don't self deport DO get due process. On their way out. All that Democrat MSM blather is lying.

And likewise. I'm sure you would view backwoods MS as a good place to be from but NYC is starting to lose its raison d'être as a hub for culture, wealth, and financial power.
Ditto for Paris, London, etc. other than a seat of government. What you have now in most of these cities is such a divergence between rich and poor that you might as well be in a city in the Third World. You can't smell the street from the 40th floor so the cloud people float above all the strife below them. Only occasionally impinging on something real and tangible often by accident.
This is also why these cities are foci of globalism. To them, a peasant is a peasant regardless of the country so why get all bothered about mundane things like borders, crime, etc. It simply does not affect them.
Bonfire of the Vanities is an excellent novel about such things.

So now he's charging all these "crossing the border illegally is only a civil crime!!" folks with another federal crime of failing to register and provide fingerprints.

If you weasel out of your punishment, then what the fuck was the point of your little tantrum other than to throw a tantrum? It's the punishment under The System that gives your protest heft and weight, not the number of dogs in a ten block radius that start howling after your dumbass goes "REEEEEE" in a register no self respecting human would ever voluntarily create with their own face. Stand up tall and proud in your cuffs and quit whining like a little bitch.

Hippies and later protesters were just acting for political power rather than ideals and spread violence as part of the process.

Want to REALLY troll the progs?
Start allowing some of those that voluntarily self-deported and opportunity to return, legally. With a green card. Pick the best of the bunch and let them come back. Start with say, 50,000 this year.
Then...what the fuck can the left say at that point?

Start allowing some of those that voluntarily self-deported and opportunity to return, legally. With a green card. Pick the best of the bunch and let them come back. Start with say, 50,000 this year.
Then...what the fuck can the left say at that point?

Turns out there are a host of laws around illegal immigrants that give the executive almost complete unilateral authority to deport as many of them as fast as possible.
But, remember, Biden couldn't do anything without a new law.

Yup... if your family is here illegally... and you are supporting them by working... you are not only working illegally (you must have a Soc Sec Number) but you are also Aiding and Abetting other Illegals to stay.
If you are using a Fraudulent Soc Sec number, then that is document fraud.
Just living here, they are breaking multiple laws.

I got bad news for you all:
Just got back from WalMart and the shelves are bare!
What little that it left is double and triple in price!
Is this what you voted for?!
The Dems were right:
Tariffs caused shortages and massive inflation.
Deportation caused the fruits and vegetables to go unpicked.
Nah.
Just kidding.
Prices are down, shelves are fully stocked.
Dems are fucking retarded.
So are their voters.
More Trump.

Supposedly 1 million aliens have been deported under the get $1000 reward to go home without charges program.
If so, that's a big deal. And may spread faster.
Posted by: Moron Analyst

We had a discussion about that yesterday morning. I strongly doubt that a million have self-deported.
If it's true, presumably there's a record of $1B being paid out. I, too, doubt it very much.

That said cuomo has the most powerful machine of those running so I assume he will win. And hes probably the least insufferable (which is saying a lot.) But we shall see.

The other point of the civil protest being calm under arrest is that you were trying to make them arrest you unjustly. Which they gladly would back in the day.
If you're burning shit and pissing on things and doing shit that would be flagrantly illegal even outside of any kind of "protest" environment, then you don't get to whine about being arrested, you simpletons.
It's being arrested for *nothing* other than standing in public, en masse, and voicing your opinion against The State that gives you moral authority (oh, how i hate that phrase). Getting arrested for arson or assault.... doesn't.

The man who allegedly killed his neighbors at an Inland Empire nudist resort last August reportedly did so over a hot dog. Michael Sparks, 62, allegedly killed Daniel Menard, 79, and Stephanie Menard, 73, in August 2024, and human remains were found under Sparks’ home at the Olive Dell Ranch Nudist Resort, according to investigators. Sparks and the Menards did not get along, but as detailed in a court hearing Monday, the final straw was a hot dog, the Press-Enterprise reports.

This kind of thing has happened before, to great Western excitement about the fall of the Mullahs. Then the Mullahs regroup, put down the nascent rebellion, slaughter the enemies and move right along.
Will the Iranian regime fall? Maybe. Better odds of it today than there were last week. The regime - as is often and fairly accurately (as near as I can tell) pointed out - is fairly incompetent and the basics keep degrading. Given the recent crisis caused by the Israeli decapitation strikes, anything is possible.
But I am not laying bets down. And if it does fall, I hope we can avoid the siren song of "nation building," which is what Gaetz is on about and the term he should have used rather than "regime change." The implication of "regime change" is "our puppet ends up in the big chair," but that isn't what it *necessarily* means. If the Mullahs fall, I don't much care who Iran replaces them with. The new regime will be an enemy, an ally, a rival or a neutral. We can figure out diplomatic positioning and policy in the event that it happens.

What kind of revisionist history is this? That was exactly the US's position and the position of the vast majority of Americans. The only reason we got involved in another European war was because Japan attacked us then Germany declared war on us. And lend lease was very unpopular because people felt that FDR and the dems were realllly pushing the line of staying neutral which is what most Americans wanted.
No one got involved in world war 2 because of Jews fighting Hitler or whatever this guy is claiming.

>> NYC is starting to lose its raison d'être as a hub for culture, wealth, and financial power
Like California, New York is losing its middle class. It’s also largely becoming a place of poor people who can’t move, uber rich, old people and illegal Immigrants. The election system is so corrupt it keeps the same Caribbean Communists running the legislature and a governor who is their figurehead. Representative government will never return until they burn the whole system down and cleanse it with fire. People are tired of waiting for that to happen. That’s why they are the number one state for people leaving. They are also going to collapse when they lose the ability to pilfer federal taxpayers.

249 The man who allegedly killed his neighbors at an Inland Empire nudist resort last August reportedly did so over a hot dog. Michael Sparks, 62, allegedly killed Daniel Menard, 79, and Stephanie Menard, 73, in August 2024, and human remains were found under Sparks’ home at the Olive Dell Ranch Nudist Resort, according to investigators. Sparks and the Menards did not get along, but as detailed in a court hearing Monday, the final straw was a hot dog, the Press-Enterprise reports.

My city went 60% for Trump and the county went 70% for Trump. I'd estimate around a thousand demonstrators. Mostly Boomers and blue-haired (literally) Millennials. Very few 20-somethings from what I saw, and far more women than men. The Boomers were much closer to sex parity than the Millennials, who were overwhelmingly women. A handful of kids dragged along by the parents or grandparents.
Even if there were a lot of carpet-baggers bussed in to man the line (possible), that indicates that the Party views my town as important. Astonishing turnout for my burg, and deeply worrying regardless of the specifics.

This is insane. Regime change will result in a bloody civil war, killing hundreds of thousands and creating another massive Muslim refugee crisis. Topping a leader is NEVER as easy you think. It almost always results in further involvement, a civil war, and chaos. Resist this!
Could be but what does Kirk think should be done ? Make a "deal" with the Mullah's ?

When asked specifically about this kind of violence in Los Angeles recently, 68% said the violators must be prosecuted. Only 21% deem such charges as "not important." Among men, 74% believe in criminal consequences, and only 18% disagree. In addition, nearly two-thirds of Hispanics (64%) demand these prosecutions.

Yep. This is their civil rights movement they all long for and any confrontation or arrest will only raise their street cred. Except those killed graveyard dead.

Read a comment on another blog that some of the X people are in hysterics, I guess from the arrest of that faggot in NYC, that Americans are now being deported.
Between this and juggling the shrieking of President Trump going to war there must be a lot of action on toilets today, flushing over and over, while grossly hanging on to their phones for dear life (yug).
I figure their pus is boiling beneath the pustule as pre-volcanic action, like the one that blew in Indonesia today. Thankful that I am no longer freaking out about much of anything. Que sera sera.
Reading about women older than me, or Dims of all ages since the election, WEEPING over President Trump, who is not a king. This is so retarded. I never wept a tear with Oblahma nor Bidet. I never joined sweaty June marches or threw things or had a tantrum. I mocked wildly instead and hoped either of the buffoons would fall down the stairs of AF1 on camera.
Thankful President Trump won!

Civil War's happen in places like Iraq, which was about 40% Shia, 30% Kurd, and 20% Sunni, and none of them wanted to be ruled by any of the others. Syria has got the same problem; Libya has never been more than a pack of desert camel humpers.
But Iran is an ancient people, nominally Shia but many dedicated to the older ways. They're going to hang together, they have no need of a civil war, unless it is to get rid of the remnants of the IRGC.

What kind of revisionist history is this? That was exactly the US's position and the position of the vast majority of Americans. The only reason we got involved in another European war was because Japan attacked us then Germany declared war on us. And lend lease was very unpopular because people felt that FDR and the dems were realllly pushing the line of staying neutral which is what most Americans wanted.
No one got involved in world war 2 because of Jews fighting Hitler or whatever this guy is claiming.

We were involved in the European theatre long before Dec 1941. We gave 50 ships to escort British convoys, even crewed some of them, and eventually sent more and escorted convoys halfway across the Atlantic with USN ships.
When the Bismarck set sail in May 41 the US Atlantic fleet sortied its battleships and sailed towards an intercept itself but the damaged ship turned back toward Europe.

Got so bad in Tennessee that you had a bunch of totally sober drivers being falsely accused of being drunk from failing their various dubious DUI field sobriety tests. Some of the folks were begging to be breath analyzed instead.
I taught criminal law for about twenty years as well as constitutional law in general. Simply put, the police are generally not your friend--they view their jobs as catching criminals and for some leos, they see so many bad actors of various stripes that they decide everyone is a criminal which makes it their job to put them away by any means necessary.

We were involved in the European theatre long before Dec 1941. We gave 50 ships to escort British convoys, even crewed some of them, and eventually sent more and escorted convoys halfway across the Atlantic with USN ships.
When the Bismarck set sail in May 41 the US Atlantic fleet sortied its battleships and sailed towards an intercept itself but the damaged ship turned back toward Europe.
Posted by: Oldcat at June 17, 2025 04:43 PM (8avO+)
The ships were escorting lend lease equipment going to Britain to help them fight the war. And basically begging the Germans to attack the US to bring us in to the war.
As I said it was very unpopular. If I recall something like 70% of Americans were against getting involved in World War Two prior to Pearl Harbor.
Especially republicans. That is the era when the term "isolationist" started being used as an insult against republicans. Which has recently made a comeback as an insult to traditional republican voters.

Iran claims that the Internet was down, and then I thought Musk said Starlink would hook them up to the Internet. Is there any idea if Iranians heard Prince Pahlavi's speech?

Not to mention that Kirk is flat out wrong, because he has no understanding of Iran. Civil War's happen in places like Iraq, which was about 40% Shia, 30% Kurd, and 20% Sunni, and none of them wanted to be ruled by any of the others. Syria has got the same problem; Libya has never been more than a pack of desert camel humpers.
But Iran is an ancient people, nominally Shia but many dedicated to the older ways. They're going to hang together, they have no need of a civil war, unless it is to get rid of the remnants of the IRGC.

Charlie Kirk needs to take a little closer look at just how totally screwed Iran is from an economic point of view. The only thing that transforms their infrastructure and economic outlook back from the stone age is the ability to re-open markets and trade with willing participants beyond current sanctions. The current Theocracy just prints money or ignores the problem(s). The internal corruption of Iran is legendary. They can't provide electricity in a dependable fashion to their own people, but the mullahs sell it to other countries.
Personally, I think the decapitation of leaders by Israel makes for an opportunity to have a relatively bloodless change of power. Pakistan is anticipating this an has already closed its border with Iran.

Iran has been making general war in the region for a very, very long time and the primary victim has finally gotten sick of it. Iranian proxies and their constant warfare have focused primarily on Israel and to a much lesser degree us (the Houthis come immediately to mind for the latter).
Israel is now retaliating as, in my opinion, she should. If Iran collapses, it will be utter chaos. Civil war is possible. A bloodbath is virtually certain. The state of affairs in the aftermath will be extremely hairy to navigate and the regional power dynamic will be alien. All of that is true. Avoiding that at the cost of shoring up Iran's "war at all costs in all theaters" regime is a hard thing to argue for in my opinion.

Thats why we had to occupy the country for so long and why to this day we still have our largest embassy in the world there to house the CIA operatives working nonstop to keep Iraq from becoming a true failed state. And even with all of that it’s still an absolute shithole and is still draining tons of money from the treasury.

In all seriousness, anyone who has ever played a theater-wide tabletop WWII wargame understands that Germany could hold its own against a USSR absent the US in Europe, including its strategic bombing, particularly without lend lease. Cernovich is off his rocker.
The Russians figured they could win the war themselves, and they might have been right, but that assumes we supplied them the way we did. Without our material support, there's no way in hell.
Posted by: Archimedes at June 17, 2025 04:42 PM (s8j++)
Germany alone, perhaps. Germany and occupied Europe, that's another story.
Russia was running into serious manpower deficits in the 44-45 period in the infantry (as was the UK). The sexy tanks and artillery forces suffer few losses in men relative to the poor bloody infantry. When Russia took over a new slice of their western regions they'd strip the locals still alive of all their fighting age men and it still wasn't enough.

The key elements to the USSR's victory were their tolerance for spilling Russian blood and their ability to crank out rockets, artillery tanks and small arms.
That latter part was enabled *entirely* by Lend-Lease, because LL freed them up to do *only* that and convert every Soviet industrial plant to production of guns, rockets, artillery and tanks. We supplied everything else and the Red Army's generally mobility was courtesy of Studebaker. If the USSR had to produce everything else we were giving them, it would have been a very different story. Could they have won anyway? Who knows. My guess is "probably not" but of course I have no way to know that.
But the German who described his depressed horror at seeing "yet another Russian robot on an American truck" (I have no recollection of where I read that) wasn't blowing smoke. Without Studebaker, it's entirely possible that USSR would have lost.

BREAKING: ICE just conducted a massive raid in Blount County, Alabama. 55 illegals were arrested for illegal cockfighting and gambling.
Two firearms and more than $100,000 were recovered during the bust. Some of the illegals had been previously deported.
The illegal operation was reportedly tied to a larger crime network that involves unlawful gambling, drug trafficking, and violent offenses.

The Plymouth Philtrum was a novel concept car intended to rival the Chevy Corvette. With a 426 Hemi, 4 barrel Holley, Hooker headers and Thrush mufflers on a dual tuned exhaust, it was designed to pass anything but a filling station.
More timid souls prevailed, however, and the project was scrapped in favor of luxury grocery getters like the Gran Fury and the Chrysler Newport.
Pity.

Not precisely, and certainly not the way Libya has. The country is effectively at least three different regions and cultures. The Kurdish area, the Sunni Arab area, and the oil rich Shia Arab area. Because of this they struggle to have effective power sharing agreements in their central government, but there's less active oppression than under Saddam.

No, the cops' actions were not in question at all. It was all arguments about the numbers.
In fact, I think one reason the men balked at conviction is that the lab expert was a young female and the prosecutor was a Demi Moore age 28 clone and the guys wouldn't have these women putting one over on them.

Interesting. Could be their personal interactions with women in the past then predisposed how they were going to treat the evidence. But I do know there is a wide and getting wider divergence in young men and young women in their views of each sex and their views on society and politics.
Just curious. Was it a six or twelve person jury? Six person juries are much more likely to have a couple of assholes trying to dominate the jury discussion. There are some studies out there indicating that twelve is better. And my personal experience was actually the opposite on such a jury back in grad school days. It was two guys insisting that the cops were right and the accused should be guilty. Quote from one: "If the police charged them then they must be guilty"

Maybe. I am not at all convinced that his declaration of war actually mattered. FDR and the US government were hot to join the war in Europe and even absent the German declaration of war, there is no way we weren't going to join the war in Europe after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Hitler made it an easier sell to the American people by declaring war, but I doubt he changed the outcome by doing so. We still would have declared war on the Axis powers as a group and very likely still would have pursued the "Europe First" strategy.

Germany deperately wanted USSR out of the war before US entered. The eastward blitz was a .manifestation of that aim.

Germany deperately wanted USSR out of the war before US entered. The eastward blitz was a .manifestation of that aim. Had the US not entered, the impasse on the Eastern front would have led to a partition granting the Nazis control of everything west of the USSR, and ultimately the conquest of all of western Europe, inclding Uk.

IIRC An American sold his tank suspension and slanted armor patents to Russia after the US military procurement guy rejected it because of personal animosity from what I read.
Am I misremembering?

Think he went there in the 30s to design the T34 and other tanks and teach them US mass production techniques when he could not get a job in the US.

Dec 8 the US declares war on only Japan.
Germany and Italy declare war on the US.
Dec 10, the US declares war on Germany and Italy.
It was an own goal that could have been postponed.

I have wondered if he thought that would move the Japanese to restart their war in the East against the Russians.
Luckily, the Russians had already kicked their asses so badly that the Japanese were happy to stay defensive.

The Japanese were far too busy in China to open a front against the Russians. If they had marched from east, taken Vladivostok from their bases in Korea and pushed in from Manchuria, the USSR probably *would* have fallen - but Japan would have a massive flank exposed to extremely angry and bloodthirsty Chinese peasants. In the North, those were Mao's people and it's entirely possible he would have suspended his vendetta against Chiang to go after Japanese positions and loot. I sort of doubt it, but the possibility is there and despite the poor performance of Chinese soldiers during the Occupation, striking weakened targets of opportunity on the periphery is a different game from fighting back an invasion. There was no way the Japanese would risk it.

Might have worked, too, if Hitler didn't have to delay his offensive to go bail out Mussolini in the Balkans to secure oil supplies. Vital weeks of prime invasion season were wasted on that side show.

Pretty dumb then to declare war on the US on Dec 8 41 then. With that aside there might have been sentiment to kick Japan's ass first rather than the Europe First strategy. In fact there was the idea that being fully at war would let them win the battle of the Atlantic, which was stupid on their own.
As it turned out we could build ships faster than they could sink them once the Liberty Ship program got going.

434 That was one of those WTF moments Adolf was prone to.
Tripartite Pact did not require him to declare war against the US since Japan attacked. But there he went going full LeRoy Jenkins.
But at the same time there was some truth for his reasons to declare war. The short of war Neutrality Patrols was one. Another was the US Navy assisting Royal Navy and Dutch warships in the sinking of a German-American liner that broke out of Tampico.

But he was pissed at us for our aid to the UK and USSR, as I mentioned above. So, to him it made sense, since we were already involved.

Adolf must have had total contempt for the US for some inexplicable reason. Because he'd written that he would never declare war on anyone in advance, just attack. That uncharacteristic declaration of war is right up there with allowing the evacuation of Dunkirk and not retreating from Stalingrad. Total folly that don't have logical explanations.

In 1939 the Japanese and Russians had a border incident at Nomonhan (Khalkin Gohl). The Japanese pushed aside the Mongolian defenders and occupied it. Shortly thereafter Zhukov organized a counterattack force over miles of roadless ground and crushed the Japanese with tanks, artillery, air and men. Since the Japanese didn't retreat, losses were horrific.
After that the energy for adventures toward the USSR was 'moderated'

you can't retreat from Stalingrad when your military transport horses were dispatched west for forage and rest. That one at least was not folly. Once you get surrounded and the only shelter is in Stalingrad city your options are out.
The folly was going there in the first place.

I do not have the name to hand at the moment. If I find it I will tell you. Simply though US/UK cooperation was far more direct and complete before the war than most histories stress.
Since the Bizzy was damaged and turned away from US waters made the operation moot.

Probably so. TIKhistory has a good video about Hitler not wanting to retreat from Stalingrad. Hitler's argument was that if they retreated, they would never have the material to go there again and the Germans would not be able to secure their holdings in the Caucasus so it was now or never.
