Members of antifa are threatening to kill the wife of the judge who is about to sentence the nine terrorists who attacked police at the Prairieland ICE station.

Members of Antifa have threatened violence and accused the wife of a judge of being a fan of "white supremacist" Charlie Kirk in the wake of nine members of the militant far-left group being found guilty of various charges, including terrorism-related charges, on Friday.

In the wake of Kirk's September killing during a Utah campus stop, US District Judge Mark Pittman's wife wrote, "Keep spreading the Good news, Bishop. The world needs it more than ever. Come, Lord Jesus, Come!" An Antifa member screenshotted her Facebook post and posted it to X, writing that Pittman's wife "is a big fan of white supremacist Charlie Kirk."

Evidence of that? She said it was sad that an innocent man had been shot in the throat in front of his children.

So, you know: White supremacist.

Nine total members of a North Texas Antifa cell were convicted on various charges on Friday for an attack on a Texas ICE detention facility in July in which an officer was shot. Eight of the nine defendants were found guilty of providing material support to terrorists. Additional charges the defendants were found guilty of include rioting, use of an explosive device, and attempted murder.

"Protect Trans Kids," huh?

The @FBI used over 40% of its foreign counter intelligence division's budget on targeting @realDonaldTrump and his associates in 2016 and 2017 - people need to go to jail...

That post links this article from Revolver News.

I saw Chris Murphy crying about some of these rogue FBI agents who got fired, claiming that they were key "counter-terrorism" agents and their firing might have caused the four (4!) Muslim terrorist attacks in the last two weeks.

Well explain this to me then, Chris: If they were so critical to hunting down terrorists, why were they considered superfluous enough that they could be detailed to searching Melania Trump's underwear drawers?

Is this real? I think so but I'm not sure: An Iranian plays the sound of a drone over his boombox, and Basij street thugs go running.

I tend to think it's fake just because, well, they'd shoot you for that. They're shooting machine guns blindly into people's apartments just for singing and dancing.

🚨#BREAKING: North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis COMPLETELY MISSED THE VOTE on the motion to move forward the SAVE Act.

He didn't show up.

Absolutely unbelievable.

Murkowski voted "Nay," of course.

All of the left is mourning the passing of Austere Religious Scholar Ali Larijani. They are all working from the script provided to them by, I assume, Iran Echo Chamber conductor Ben Rhodes -- this man who ordered the massacre of 30-40,000 Iranians last month alone was "a moderate" who you could "do business with" and now that he's dead, Trump has no "off-ramp" from his disastrous war which he's totally losing.

I don't know what the ratings are for Congressional Republicans. I looked. I did not find. Sometimes they tease out the results of a poll over several days.

Even if the ratings for Republicans are also low -- and I'm sure they are -- it is still news that Democrats are facing record lows, in a year that they're supposedly going to sweep into power.

I've seen this crap all over the web today. The Usual Suspects actually began saying Trump has no off-ramp from his attack on Iran on the first day of bombing.

They don't understand Trump has always had an "off-ramp" on this. Trump's off-ramp is winning the war on his terms!

Malik also financed Tucker Carlson's new media company."

I haven't checked since I retired, but for a long time suicides regularly exceeded the casualty totals in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. It was a huge problem. Given how recruitment is soaring and the warm soothing glow of victory after victory, I think that problem may have abated somewhat.

76 48 How many service-people are lost in an average week of just "militari-ing? If I recall, it's a fairly high number.
Posted by: MkY

From the tiny url I put upthread, it is about 300 per year by accident and somewhat over that for suicides. Combat deaths from 2013-2022 did not go above 91 and on average was in the 20's and actually lower than (crime) homicides as a cause of death.

79 Daily Caller was Tucker's old media company. It was bought by an Iranian American investor.

"The Daily Caller is partly owned by the Iranian-American investor Omeed Malik. The guy behind Tulsi Gabbard’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Malik also financed Tucker Carlson's new media company."

- Malik is CEO & founder of 1789 Capital

Its called a hash because it is any bits of meat and veggies left over chopped fine and cooked up for breakfast. I even buy the cans of hormel corned beef hash in case I cook a breakfast. Then I forget to include it when I do cook breakfast, so it remains.

The frequent tours, the fact that there was no end in sight and then the way Iraq sputtered out and Afghanistan was a debacle was crushing.

And then we got happy, hippie-type messages from command telling us to work through our feelings which only added to incandescent levels of rage at how we had wasted our lives for NOTHING. I never deployed to a combat zone (though the airport shuttle to Ramstein was shot up after I went back home) nor did I hear a shot in anger, but I know people who were messed up and lost friends. And then to lose...it was hard.

150 The Intercept: Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black
The government won on most of its charges, including convicting defendants for moving a box of radical zines.

If trump can start arresting ppl and calling them enemies of the state, he can arrest anyone, anytime. And that's exactly what Hitler ended up doing.

Women couldn’t vote 100 years ago and Black people couldn’t move freely about the country until just over 50 years ago. We’ve never been as free as we’ve been led to believe.

This was all made legal by the NDAA under Obama. Trump can personally declare anyone a terrorist and have you assassinated. The trials are just for terrifying others into compliance. He stepped right into the perfect situation to be a dictator.

This is an absolutely chilling moment for free speech & expression in the United States and shows how the Trump administration is ramping up its persecution of leftists, seemingly trying to head us into a Third Red Scare.

Don't be ridiculous. There was strong evidence of terrorism like... *checks notes* ...using the signal app?

Yeah we're fucked. Hope this gets overturned.

There is necessarily a lag between identifying the networks and rolling them up, just as it takes time to bring a federal case and see it through. As reports of these people getting hard time spread, enthusiasm will drop. Loss of funding will also be crippling.

The Tesla thing ended very quickly in part because it was actual normies who thought they could get away with it and as soon as they found out, it stopped. Antifa is "professional" insofar as they are getting paid to do it, so minor stints in jail don't bother them as they already have criminal records for sex crimes, domestic violence, etc.

That is the primary recruiting pool, but even those clowns don't want to get 20 years for the cause.

Me-Again Kelly Demands to Know Why Online Influencers Aren't Defending Her Against Mark Levin's "Disgusting" Attacks

If that sounds insane to you, that means you're paying attention.

Cavernous Nostrils has been smearing Erika Kirk since a week after his murder, claiming that she was "covering up" for The Real Killers, who she has alleged at various times to be Israelis, Mormon Bee Cultists, French Intelligence, Egyptian Planes, US military personnel, etc.

Lately Cavernous Nostrils has changed her attacks on Erika Kirk, now claiming she was associates with Jeffrey Epstein and groomed children for sex trafficking.

When Me-Again Kelly was asked to say something about this absolute demonic horrorshow, Me-Again responded: "I'm not the mom of the internet.'

But she thinks it's "disgusting" that Mark Levin routinely calls her "Granny Groyper" --like many women, and many men too (guilty!) she does not like it being noted that she is old enough to be a grandparent -- she has been demanding that various online personalities condemn Levin for "stalking" her.

Here's just one example of Me-Again -- who, I repeat, said it was none of her business if Candace Owens accused Erika Kirk of arranging for her husband's murder because she's not "the mom of the internet" -- demanding that men gather 'round her to protect her from Levin's "disgusting" attacks:

meagaindemandssimpprotection.jpg

The widowed now-single mother Erika Kirk can fend for herself, but Me-Again demands her Simps form a Protective Simp Circle around her!

Aɴᴛ
@AntSpeaks

It's extraordinary how Megyn is now asking everyone around her why they didn't speak up when Mark Levin supposedly attacked her.

The same woman who has made a conscious effort to ignore all the insults and accusations Candace has made against Erika Kirk over the last six months.

She even went so far as to claim she had gotten close to Candace and supported her in "questioning Israel."

I use this comparison a lot, but it's nevertheless accurate.. Megyn is a prime example of a stupid person who desperately believes they're smart. She was convinced she had outwitted everyone, that she was in the right, and that most would side with her. Now it's come back to bite her in the ass.


Is it just me, or....?

If you remember the show: Cersei allowed the High Sparrow to imprison and torture Queen Margery, because Cersei was afraid, due to a prophecy, that she was fated to be "displaced by another queen, younger and more beautiful."

Does that explain Me-Again's hatred of Erika Kirk? Could be!

(And Cersei was also revealed to have been both stupid and emotionally fragile all along -- she just seemed to be smart and confident because she kept her face frozen in an inscrutable mask.)

One of the most extraordinary shows of inauthenticity I've ever seen was back when Me-Again discovered that it would spike her traffic if she filled her podcast with four-letter words. This was like two years ago. First she said "bullshit" a couple of times and when she got clicks for that, everything was "fuck you" and "go fuck yourself."

No really -- she has repeatedly told her critics "go fuck yourself" if you think I should criticize Cavernous Nostrils.

She looked like a five year old who just learned how to say cursewords. She looked so pleased with herself!

(And Me-Again keeps lying, claiming people just want her to criticize Cavernous Nostrils for her Black Nazi takes on the Jews, while pretending she's unaware that the real complaint is the DAILY attacks on a grieving widow as a murderers and lesbian sex trafficker.)

She's continuing to be a Follower, following "men" she identifies as the Strong Alpha Men and repeating whatever they say. First she followed Roger Ailes, then she followed Brit Hume, then she followed Chris Wallace -- remember her disgraceful bit as Chris Wallace's attack dog at the Republican debate? -- and now she's following Tuq'r Qarlson.

Well, Tuq'r Qarlson and Piers Morgan, two BBWs with big soft bellies and low-hanging tits, both just attacked Ben Shapiro for being short. I'm told he's 5'9", which is an inch below average.

So Me-Again the follower followed, and attacked Mark Levin for having a "micropenis."


Megyn Kelly
@megynkelly

Micropenis Mark @marklevinshow thinks he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I've had arrested. He doesn't like it when women like me fight back. Bc of his micropenis.

She means that Levin says she's a 14-year-old mean girl trapped in the botoxed body of a 55-year-old woman. And that she's a Nazi.

As she did when she first learned to curse, she then went on to say "micropenis, micropenis, micropenis" over and over again, to show how Young and Brat she is.

Here's the "disgusting" and "lewd" attack that provoked Me-Again into devolving back into her 14-year-old mean girl self. Does this sound "lewd" or "disgusting" to you?

Seems like pretty standard internet invective to me.

But note she plays the How Dare You Insult a Woman Card, as we've seen her play so many times before.

Is Me-Again really the right person to be judging how well-endowed other people are?

I don't think so.

I dunno. She's weighing in on men's equipment, but meanwhile she's rocking an A Minus cup filled with nothing but ribs and gristle. It's like ordering a two piece from Popeye's and getting two backs. Not what I was looking for, Popeye's!

Now that was a lewd and disgusting personal attack.

But this is where she herself took the dispute.

Trump actually defended his former enemy Mark Levin:

trumpdefendslevin.jpg

And that is as a real as it comes, boys.

Oh wait it's not, it's a fake made by an internet wisenheimer.

But really, Trump did post about the feud and say that while Levin was in fact MAGA, Me-Again Kelly and Tuq'r Qarlson -- who are not named but strongly hinted at -- are not MAGA.

I mean, what, precisely, is lacking in the form of "truth is stranger than fiction" here? Why do we need to invent "It was da Jooos!" or "Ebul Secret Mormon Cultists!"?

The actual charges are far weirder than some mad conspiracy with Israel. If you had "Mossad arranged for a hit on Charlie" next to "Trans furry gang killed Charlie" which sounds more like a headline from the National Enquirer?

89 Mark Levin was always just Sean Hannity's lap dog. Megyn Kelly is white trash with a microphone. She looks like Skeletor and Voldemort fused their cells in Dr. Frankenstein’s lab with all that work done to her face. Let them destroy each other.

Remember when shitbag mcgee said she “had blood coming from her mouth, coming from her whatever.” Now she blows him eternally! Imagine blowing someone who shit on you. Lmao

There's a reason NBC paid her $30 million just to leave.

Why is there so much hate for kelly? Levin literally works for israel and kelly is exposing that, if anyone is paying attention.

I get the feeling she was molested as a child. That explains the acting out and psychotic break she suffered since tRump the pedophile took office.

Knowing her history, there is a non zero chance she knows his dick size for a fact, but I am curious if it’s not his micro but her cavernous vagina.

If you've ever heard Levin in one of his stark raving lunatic rants on his radio show you would know exactly how micro his penis is without ever having to actually know details.

Yes, the claim is 5-9. But there are pics online of people who claim to be 5-9 standing next to him, and he’s much shorter. I think he’s using the old WWF method of determining height. Anyone remember that? Every wrestler was at least 6-4 and 225 pounds, even if he was obviously much shorter and lighter.

He was on stage at some powwow debate, and some dude said exactly that to him, that he is 5'6". Ben asked him how tall he is , the dude said "5'9". Ben told him to come up on stage and stand next to him. He did, and they were the same height. So, either the accuser was lying, or Ben is 5'9".

There was a video with a bunch of female porn people a while back where they were asked how much a guy needed and the consensus was that 6 inches is plenty. Anything more is for them, not her.

Obviously, they could have been lying and YMMV but there it is.

Kristof doesn't mention was that the 'pragmatic' part was keeping the 8 or 10 billion Obama and Biden sent him and ignoring the 'Peace' part and funding terrorism with the money.

Neither fame nor money turn you into a monster.

Keanu Reeves is widely known to be a genuinely nice guy. Trump is pretty nice to people who aren't trying to fuck him over.

What having money and fame does is it makes monsters think that they don't have to hide anymore. Sadly, in modern US society, they may be right.

Zionist "was" used by only the most ridiculous Jew haters on dark corners of the internet for a long time but now the Left has given the order to mainstream it so now it's fine.

And yes, junior high stuff which strangely attracts lots of emo crap from supplicants. I resisted going on X for a long time because even discussion boards are bad enough nowadays. X demonstrates why the Lord flooded the earth way back when. Lots of viciousness. But yet, some useful information unavailable anywhere else.

There once was a widow named Erika,
Whom Candace attacked with hysteria.

Unfair, unwarranted, and inferior.

I am 5'0" tall; Mr. TiFW is 5'7" - which works for both of us 😊♥️

Dating apps. Your height is prominently displayed.

The guys running OK Cupid did a post on this years ago. The average guy on their site was 2+" taller than the average guy in America, and the curve wasn't the expected bell curve; it flattened out at the top.

In short (swidt?), the short guys added an inch or so to their height, but guys who were anywhere near 6' IRL must have listed themselves as 6'+.

There were as many 6'1" guys on the site as 5'9" guys, which just ain't how it is in America at large.

In this video he examines the "Woke Right" and explains why men of his generation are going that way.

I don't agree with the kid on everything, he was a flat-earher at one point, but he is fairly knowledgeable about history, culture, and social trends, and I think he nails this vid.

His basic point is that right-wing Gen Z men are play acting Nazis because the people who have tortured them through Woke/DEI their entire lives hate the Nazis so they act Nazi even though they're mostly clueless as to what the Nazis actually were.

Anna, you can do with older hardware if you use Linux. And the new Macs have the specs and performance to VLOG if you want.

Forget the fastest processor as much as get as much memory as you can and the higher the resolution, the greater need for bandwidth if doing live, and good encoding and decoding performance from your vid card.

And a good 5000 series or the AMD 9000 series vid cards can fix up an older CPU to vlog if you want if that CPU has 32 gig of memory and fast M2 SSD storage instead of the older disk or SATA III SSD.

If you plan to do AI video, then the sky is the limit--that requires serious hardware right now to look decent with acceptable frame rates or you do the online account thing and pay for a subscription.

Anna, excellent price but there is some budget stuff included and that line of Intel chips I think had some problems. There could also be troubles if you need to upgrade the power supply, and the cooling in particular may also be cheap. I would personally avoid something in this range - you get what you pay for. It's a refurb of a "budget" line of PC. It's a great deal and a trusted refurb but I would expect to pay a few hundred more for that kind of horse, and for what you want.

Donald Trump's Approval on Iran among MAGA

🟢 Approve: 87%
🔴 Disapprove: 6%

Economist/YouGov poll | 3/13-3/16

In highly related news:

The head of the Basij force -- the volunteer "morality police" and regime killers who slaughtered dissidents last month -- was also killed in an airstrike along with his top deputy.


The IDF confirms killing Basij paramilitary force commander Gholamreza Soleimani in a strike in Iran overnight.

Soleimani was targeted while at a tent camp that was recently established by the Basij. According to the IDF, the Basij set up the camp after the military struck many of the headquarters of the paramilitary force.

In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.

Soleimani was targeted while at a tent camp that was recently established by the Basij. According to the IDF, the Basij set up the camp after the military struck many of the headquarters of the paramilitary force.

In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.


The Basij is known for its role in violently suppressing anti-regime protests, and is believed to be responsible for countless deaths of Iranian civilians.

Meanwhile, top Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Akram al-Ajouri and other top officials in the terror group were targeted by the IDF in a strike on Wednesday, according to the military. The military believes al-Ajouri was likely killed in the strike, but says it is still working to confirm this.


IRGC commanders are also deployed in southern Lebanon to direct Iran's proxy army Hezballah.

As America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Nur would say, some people hit some buildings.

21 I'm kind of surprised that CNN guy who continues to point out the steady popularity of Trump continues to be employed by them. Those poll results spit in the face of what CNN reporters and talking heads claim.
He makes all the other CNN talking heads look like idiots every time his numbers prove the talking heads are stupid, liars, or more.
Yet, the next day he again returns with some new positive Trump poll results, and the CNN'ers look stupid again. I know, a low bar, but....

I first listened to him because he said he was left-wing BUT he thought Trump made some good points. I took him to be some kind of canary in the coal-mine for the left.

But then it became clear he was clickwhore who was just telling me whatever I wanted to hear, a service that I did not need, because I can tell myself whatever I want to hear, and I'm smarter than Tim Pool and I don't (yet) need to wear a beanie 24/7/365.

57 I never saw anything unique, interesting or insightful from people like Kelly, Owens, Pool, Posobiec etc. I would include Rogan in that “I don’t get it” group. Nothing the say really matters. They don’t have any special skill background or unique view. They don’t even make good arguments. A lot of it is fallacy and contra factual. I don’t include Tucker because there was a time when he would throw out something thought provoking. He actually attempted to make an argument. But there were other times (before he went full bag of dicks) he would do things that totally undermined his credibility. I think there was probably more to that which Fox saw, and it’s why they cut him loose. YMMV

He makes all the other CNN talking heads look like idiots every time his numbers prove the talking heads are stupid, liars, or more.
Yet, the next day he again returns with some new positive Trump poll results, and the CNN'ers look stupid again. I know, a low bar, but....

Frankly most of the alternative conservative media had the problem of being willing to say anything which is compared with the rest of the conservative media that was unwilling to say bad things about the Chamber of Commerce GOP that was selling the US to foreigners.

We need a happy medium and at least by flaming off the shysters of the alt reich right, the better and more sober types are being sought out by informed consumers of news.

======
Debate. The SAVE act was brought up under a privileged message from the House and now debate on the issue has begun. We shall see what other procedural matters are raised along with amendments. Reportedly Thune is filling the tree with amendments so there is a votorama on those but not an unlimited free for all.

Cloture, either by changing the rules, Democrats crumble, or by exhaustion of all speakers (the talking filibuster) is the question as the SAVE act has the majority votes but short of the 60 for quick cloture to end debate and vote on the measure.

It may take up to 2-3 months depending on the Senate schedule for exhaustion and how many Dems want to actually speak. Meanwhile, it freezes those senators to have to stay in DC while it is going on.

As predicted, the mullahs and the IRGC are at each other's throats.

IRAN IN CHAOS: PRESIDENT WANTS OUT

"There’s a real upheaval in Iran... President Pezeshkian is considering resigning from his post."

Channel 14's Senior Iran Analyst @DBalazada
explains what inside sources tell him is happening today inside the government:

Pezeshkian is reportedly "exceptionally angry" at the Revolutionary Guards, accusing them of "reckless" conduct. He claims the failure to protect Ali Larijani was not negligence, but a deliberate move to ensure his elimination.

The IRGC is reportedly "very pleased" with Larijani’s death, having already prepared an "elimination dossier" on him and his brother.

The bottom line - Iran is transitioning into an extremist military regime where Mojtaba Khamenei acts as a mere "puppet" of the Revolutionary Guards, who completely control the country.

The good ones often are written only on X without the bug eyed video delivery from too many podcasters.

I prefer written news and analysis because it is far less tedious to pick out problematic assertions, factual inaccuracies, and jumps of logic that are often employed by carny media types.

I also read far faster than I can listen to spoken blather, mugging at the camera, etc.

If analysis requires video, stills,etc. as evidence, then worthwhile, otherwise just to hear someone ranting is worthless to me. Same usually for talk radio. Rush was fine as he was entertaining as well as factual when alternative sources were scarce. Hannity, awful and robotic. Levin is a smart guy from his books but you wouldn't know that from his radio show Old Yeller persona.

But he said that’s not the interesting statistic. He said of the subset of scum bags he takes down for sexual assaults (esp young girls like 12-14), 80-85% are Hispanic-central and South American. He said they have zero boundaries with young girls.

So this story (as well as many others) is so unsurprising since “the youth” was Central American.

=====

Out of a loosely defined movement of millions of people, it should be easy to find dozens, even hundreds or thousands of people who decide that their mental version of MAGA pre-2025 is now not becoming a reality for whatever reason.

Who genuinely thought that, say, Trump was all about crushing a specific regulation on the running of waterways through commercial properties that hasn't been repealed and that's why MAGA is falling apart now. And then they say it's because of wars or something and YouTube's algo promotes them.

251 If you want a good laugh, there is a guy on YouTube who reviews episodes of the new Star Trek- Starfleet Academy, and it's been fun. His channel is The Movie Blues.

Starfleet Academy is so bad that more people have watched reviews of this shit show than the actual show.

Just a taste; the captain, who is female, sits in the captain's chair with her feet curled up, reading a book.

379 Source AP, Marhc 14th.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Saturday fired about 10 ballistic missiles toward the eastern sea, South Korea's military said, staging its own show of force as the rival South conducts a joint military exercise with the United States.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired from an area in Sunan, the site of Pyongyang's international airport, and flew about 350 kilometers (220 miles).

The use of undocumented labor. The six bankruptcies. Stiffing hundreds of contractors. Trump University. The two dozen rape and sexual assault allegations. A single one of these would have completely derailed a major party presidential candidate in previous election cycles. Hell, we lost Howard Dean because of an akward scream in 2004.

I was never hugely worried about China as trade advantages can be rolled back as long as the rest of the world doesn't deindustrialize like the globalists wanted us to do. In terms of projecting military power their lack of land routes and sea power make it hard to get far. We and Japan both had a hell of a time even getting at each other in WWII.

Illegal Alien 19-Year-Old High School Student Keeps Groping Girls As Young as Thirteen, Between the Legs "Front to Back";
Fairfax County School District Has Covered It Up a Year and Won't Expel Him

This 19 year old high school student -- anyone want to take the under on that alleged age? Because I'll take the over -- is a junior.

I'll give you a second to recover from your shock at learning that.

Matt Whitlock
@MattWhitlock

Absolutely radicalizing story.

A 19-year-old illegal enrolled as a junior at Fairfax High has been sexually assaulting students as young as 13 ALL YEAR. Fairfax covered it up despite 12 reports from girls.

Fairfax want to release him AND they won't allow him to be deported.

They just want to "breathe" and live freely and rape your pre-teen daughters. Is that so wrong?

🚨New: Fairfax County parents tell me their girls were groped in between their legs front to back during school by an adult male student who happens to be an illegal immigrant and that this has been happening the entire school year.

Parents are livid at Fairfax County Public Schools.

Today, Steve Descano's prosecutor Jenna Sands agreed to release the suspect from jail. The judge said no.

ICE lodged a detainer. ICE says Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid isn't honoring their detainer.

Descano is the Soros prosecutor who routinely drops all charges on dangerous violent criminals, especially if they're from a Protected Race.

Here's some of his recent work:

But now back to the newest illegal alien monster he's refusing to charge and refusing to render over to ICE:

They just keep covering it up like neighboring Loudoun school district covered up the transgender rapist. Their Protected Rapists have carte blanche to rape your children.

More:

An adult Fairfax High School student has been charged with nine counts of assault and battery amid accusations that he was groping girls in the halls during school.

7News Reporter Nick Minock was the first to break this story and spoke exclusively with the victims' parents.

"There's a group of about 12 individuals that have reported this assault," one mother told 7News. "It was all perpetrated by a single individual who is a stranger to the girls. He just sneakily walked up behind them and put his hand in between their legs. It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab. It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months."

Israel Flores Ortiz is almost 19 years old, and he's in the 11th grade at Fairfax High School.


On Friday, Judge Dipti Pidikiti-Smith denied Ortiz's request to be released from jail, even after Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano's office agreed to Ortiz's bail request. The judge said the proposed bail request didn't properly protect the public.

About a dozen girls have come forward to report that Ortiz put his hands in between their legs, grabbed their private parts in the front, and moved his hands to their butts while in the school's hallways.

"What do you think about your experience so far with the school system handling this situation?" Minock asked two of the mothers, who agreed to speak on camera.

"Abysmal, abysmal," one mother told 7News. "I think from the very beginning, Fairfax County has attempted to diminish what happened to these girls."

Parents of several of the girls tell 7News they are furious with Fairfax County Public Schools.

"They have attempted to sweep it under the rug," one mother said, "They sent out a letter last night."

"After we demanded it, multiple parents demanded that there be a letter before we got it," one of the mothers exclaimed.

"But it was a completely sanitized letter," the first mother continued.

This being Fairfax, Virginia, where illegal alien savages are not only permitted but encouraged to rape American citizens, the girls who reported this monster are now being bullied by the children of leftwing Kamala voting parents.

The parents told 7News FCPS' description of what happened has caused bullying.

"The girls have experienced harassment and bullying from peers at school, including people that they once thought were their friends, and the letter that they sent out, referencing it only as buttocks touching, just adds fuel to rumors that they were just attention seeking," one mother told 7News.

...

7News asked FCPS if they will allow Ortiz to come back to school, and why FCPS didn't address his alleged behavior sooner if it was happening all school year?

...

7News has also now learned Ortiz is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who crossed the southern border in 2024 and was released under federal government policy at that time.

Immediately after his arrest last week, ICE issued a detainer for Ortiz in order to deport him, but ICE told Nick that the Fairfax County Sheriff is not honoring that detainer.

"Unfortunately, sanctuary politicians like Gov. (Abigail) Spanberger are outlawing cooperation with ICE and choosing to RELEASE criminal illegal aliens from their jails back onto their communities to create more American victims," an ICE spokesperson told 7News. "We are calling on Fairfax County to honor our detainer to ensure this violent criminal is removed from our country so he can never claim another victim again."


Even if Ortiz is convicted, he likely wouldn't spend much time behind bars.

That's because the Soros prosecutor refuses to charge this as sexual battery -- only simple battery (and only because his preferred strategy of just letting this monster continue to grab 13 year old girls by the genitals caused too much heat).

24 Cesar Chavez is getting posthumously cancelled:

A wave of events honoring Cesar Chavez have been pulled amid “troubling allegations” made against the civil rights leader.

The United Farm Workers union said in a statement on Tuesday it will halt celebrations after learning of “profoundly shocking” allegations against one of the union’s Chicano founders.

The union pointed out claims have been made that Chavez “behaved in ways that are incompatible with our organization’s values.

“Some of the reports are family issues, and not our story to tell or our place to comment on,” it read. “Far more troubling are allegations involving abuse of young women or minors.”

Those allegations include that “very young women or girls may have been victimized,” by its founder.

Any GOPer objecting to the groping is instantly invalidated because they haven't called for the impeachment of the groper in chief, who has literally bragged about doing so.

These are the undocumented people who should be deported, no real controversy here. placing his illegal immigrant status at the forefront of the title, rather than focusing on his actions, makes this overtly political.

How's the weather in Russia? You don’t even live in the east coast and you’re trying to create dissent here. No one is okay with assault, but that also doesn’t give credence to your anti-immigrant propaganda.

Meanwhile all the white guys that groped us at ‘Fairfax County High School’ are now in high paying government jobs.

MAGA doesn't care about girls at all, no one is fooled by this selective outrage. I went to this school and if the girls needed protection from anything it’s the white boys that go here by a mile.

95 Descanos banned PD cooperation with ICE before Spanberger was elected. January PD arrested an illegal for attempted murder and possession of firearm. He was released within 24 hours and boogied back down to Reston and killed the man he'd threatened. Couple of weeks ago an illegal with long rap sheet stabbed a woman at Fairfax bus stop. IIRC he already had a deportation order back in 2020. Spanberger is trying to keep him away from ICE.

Because if they charge with Sexual Assault, as he is 19 and they are like 16? it becomes Sexual Assault on a Minor... which weirdly enough it does not look like there is any differentiation in Virginia law unless they are under 13... but would make it harder for the MSM to ignore.

It's weird. Chani's first appearance in the trailer is her loving the fact that she's having Paul's baby.

And at the end of the second film, she left in a huff because Paul wasn't being true to her.

The change to Chani is the only change that really bugs me in Villeneuve's adaptation, but I also know that he did it with a mind towards this third entry, though, you know, Chani never hated what Paul became in the sequel books.

Loved the radicalization of Jessica, though.

128 This upcoming film, directed by Denis Villeneuve and set for release on December 18, 2026, is an adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1969 novel Dune Messiah, the direct sequel to the original Dune book. The first two movies (Dune in 2021 and Dune: Part Two in 2024) split the adaptation of the first novel across two films.
Early reports and speculation often called the third movie Dune Messiah (or Dune: Messiah) because that's the source material, and Villeneuve has described it as the conclusion to his trilogy focused on Paul Atreides' story. However, the studio (Warner Bros.) and official listings confirmed the title as Dune: Part Three in mid-2025, continuing the numbering pattern from Part Two rather than using the book's subtitle.
The plot will follow the events of Dune Messiah, set about 12 years after Part Two, with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) as Emperor Muad'Dib dealing with the consequences of his jihad, political conspiracies, and personal struggles—making it a darker, more introspective story than the previous entries.

He wrote one.

He wrote the second one because everyone was thinking Paul was a hero instead of a monster. So, Dune Messiah makes it very clear that he's a monster. Equated explicitly to Hitler at one point.

Our system has weaknesses that leftist mutants and looters are gleefully exploiting. The weaknesses exist in places where the system assumed that "no sane, accomplished person who rose through the system would do that," and "if anyone actually did that, the public would correct the problem unofficially," Used to be true, but these days, no and no.

I hate to admit it, but maybe those stuffy exclusionary intolerant patricians of the past were on to something. They got some things wrong, had blind spots, we're dealing with the results of their butt-headed failings today. But... maybe they got some things right. For better and for worse, they were part of society's immune system. Society is immunocompromised now.

The Brian Herbert sequels are genuinely better than most of Frank Herbert's Dune books.

Frank was so obsessed with the idea that he should be a god king and that god kings were inherently evil that he spent 1500 pages across 3 novels (God Emperor, Heretics, and Chapterhouse) trying to square the circle.

Brian just wanted to finish out the story.

Being just a tiny blip on this tiny planet of our tiny solar system inside our tiny galaxy inside our infinite universe, I just want to say I really enjoy my time here, on this planet, in this comment section.

In my day (being 29) you wouldn't have needed an out of state uncle. I went to a rural high school where kids knew right from wrong, and policed our own. If this happened in my high school, there would have been a discreet reckoning in a bathroom stall involving "Fingers Ortiz" and about half of the football team. It would not have been an optional lesson, and it would not have been fair. It would have been effective and longstanding.

If Gavin Newsom is really dyslexic, that's a reason for him not to be in charge, not a reason to endorse him for high office. Maybe he's lying about that like he lies about everything else. Telling stupid lies is another reason to exclude him, come to think of it. At least put some effort into it, you entitled POS.

Well, they've been raised up as beauty idols for their entire adult lives. Their entire value, almost literally, has been based off it, so as they age, they see it's fading. If they show off more skin and look like that, they'll get all sorts of praise in media about how beautiful they are, and their bold, brave fashion sense. They're just trying to keep their egos up as they lose their youth and beauty.

I'm not sure it's even the moms of the girls attacked. The video I saw was two concerned moms commenting on the whole sordid thing, but I don't think their daughters were attacked.

As I said upthread, I strongly suspect this pervert was preying on hispanic girls -- probably illegals like him -- and nobody cares about them. I'm amazed they got the girls to formally accuse him.

331 The Rangers were beaten decisively by the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night, 4-1. After the game, Rangers legend Ron Duguay took to social media to lay the blame for the defeat at the team’s decision to hold a “Pride Night.”

“I didn’t want to say it before the game but I saw this coming. Down 4–1 right after the singing National anthem to (the Pride Flag) to a small group, bad idea bad mojo,” the 68-year-old Rangers’ legend wrote. “I don’t blame all of the Rangers organization. Its only a select few college brain washed up, woked kids pushing their agenda within the organization.

339 So I have a brother who’s a US Marshal in a northeast city outside NYC. I asked him not too long ago what % of the perps he takes down are illegal? He replied about 25-30%.

But he said that’s not the interesting statistic. He said of the subset of scum bags he takes down for sexual assaults (esp young girls like 12-14), 80-85% are Hispanic-central and South American. He said they have zero boundaries with young girls.

So this story (as well as many others) is so unsurprising since “the youth” was Central American.

It’s like a metaphor for wokism or the progressive hive-mind or cults in general.

My biggest problem is that it’s not sure if it wants to be a sci-fi drama or dramedy, or a serious thinkpiece, and the main character is annoying as hell on occasions.

Now that they brought in the Paraguayan man it may get better in the second season just to see how they’re going to disrupt the signal and put everything right again, but based on the first season, I’m sure it’ll go in a surprising direction.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired from an area in Sunan, the site of Pyongyang's international airport, and flew about 350 kilometers (220 miles).

Without Oil, Cuba Is Burning

From John Sexton, the fall has begun.

WSJ:

"Libertad, libertad," shouted hundreds of demonstrators as they faced off against police outside the precinct in Morón, a city of about 70,000 near Cuba's northeastern coast. Protesters then marched to the offices of the ruling Communist Party, according to the Cuban government and videos posted on social media.

Residents threw rocks at the building and tried to set it ablaze. Others climbed on the building's second story and threw papers and furniture into the street, which they then set on fire. At the time of the protest, Morón hadn't had any electricity for 30 hours...

Alberto Echemendía, the head of the Communist Party in Morón, held a rally of "revolutionary reaffirmation" in front of the ransacked party headquarters. "We live in complicated times," he told El Invasor, a regional official newspaper, blaming U.S. economic sanctions for the riots.


My translation:


This is exciting. Freedom is beginning to breath in Cuba. Eighth consecutive night of protests, but it has already begun to be massive. All of the city of Ciego de Avila is in the streets. The city united against the dictatorship.

Eso es mi Trump:

Obama's "Second Brain," the failed novelist and communist who used his fiction-writing ability to create the Iran Echo Chamber, is once again bemoaning the fall of his communist frenz:

A lot of the whining from Democraps over Cuba isn't just that they don't want to see fellow commies get fucked in the ass.

It's also that Democraps are embarrassed that Trump is so easily crushing the Cuban regime, after Democraps assured us for 50+ years that the Cuban regime was big and strong, and backed unconditionally by powerful international interests, and there was absolutely nothing we could do about a hostile fascist foreign regime less than 100 miles from our shores.

Trump is embarrassing Democraps by exposing this 50-year-old lie.

87 from a senate hearing june 2011 (hope it formats ok):

As Secretary Clinton testified in March, the United States
engagement in Libya followed the administration's strategy of "using
the combined assets of diplomacy, development, and defense to protect
our interests and advance our values." \4\ Faced with brutal attacks
and explicit threats of further imminent attacks by Muammar Qadhafi
against his own people,\5\ the United States and its international
partners acted with unprecedented speed to secure a mandate, under
Resolution 1973, to mobilize a broad coalition to protect civilians
against attack by an advancing army and to establish a no-fly zone. In
so doing, President Obama helped prevent an imminent massacre in
Benghazi, protected critical U.S. interests in the region, and sent a
strong message to the people not just of Libya--but of the entire
Middle East and North Africa--that America stands with them at this
historic moment of transition.

I feel like Venezuela was a new high for Trump and now’s he chasing it but we are at desperate spiral stage. Should be fun!

Trump talks about countries like he does pre-pubescent girls. Hopefully Cuba decides to become a protectorate of Mexico or Brazil before a certain pedophile tries to grab them by the you know what.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba." When he says 'taking' there, it sounds like he means sexually assault.

I hate him with every fiber of my being, but the fact that’s he’s right is making me hate the rest of our treasonous, ineffective government just as much.

But he is not right? He expected Iran to be like Venezuela and now he is begging "allies" to get involved in his war.

116 I watched that Q&A from PDT this morning, and when he said "I can take Cuba", I was never prouder as an American.

Because he was not saying that to mean we could "take that country over", but rather we could free it from the communist stranglehold that has been choking every citizen of that island for 60 years!

I'm really starting to be glad I've lived these 29 years in order to see these thing come to pass.....

Yes, standing back and watching while Cuba collapses under its own incompetence is "overthrowing" it.

More likely, the US will see the Castro family out safely and even give them a few $mil for walking-around money. It will be fun to see which of their old American friends go visit them. Obama? Ben? John Kerry?

You can argue we have no business taking down tyrants. I get that argument. You can argue we should never risk our military unless a clear threat to America exists, and I get that too.

But no definition of "moral" includes protecting tyrannical regimes headed by leftist warlords.

Nobody thinks taking down Maduro was a morally bad thing to do, except Ben Rhodes, since Maduro stole elections, tortured his opponents, ran drugs, and fomented death and destruction on Venezuelan borders. Same for the Iranian mullahs. And we haven't taken down Cuba yet, but the people of Cuba appear to think they can do it. Another tyrannical leftist regime, rejected by its people, illegitimate and living on only by force of arms, done.

And Rhodes mourns their passing, he supports terrorist, murderous, kleptocratic, illegitimate, tyrannies.

Obviously the owners would never allow it, if they could they'd have even more post season matchups and love the interleague games. But if I were in charge of baseball there would be a lot of changes they didn't care for, like reducing the number of yearly games and rounds of playoffs.

Hurricane Maria in September 2017, a Category 4 storm, knocked out power across all of Puerto Rico by toppling approximately 80% of the island’s transmission lines and destroying critical infrastructure. The hurricane caused the largest blackout in U.S. history, with the entire power grid collapsing and leaving 1.5 million customers without electricity.

Puerto Rico’s power grid was already weakened by financial instability, poor maintenance, and aging infrastructure before the storm. The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) had declared bankruptcy and lacked funds for necessary upgrades, making recovery extremely slow—officials estimated it could take four to six months just to restore power.


There was a national shortage of power line poles because basically the island's whole system needed to be rebuilt.

PR had a good chance with a MAGA-ish president making some real reforms. Ricky Rossello. He's a businessman.

The leftwing commies on the Island got really scared, so he had to go. So they largely invented a big scandal where he was exchanging texts with his advisors shitting on homosexuals, and leftwing politicians, using very crude (but funny) language.

There was not one word in any of the texts that was not dead on the money. But he was ousted.

218 Dissident displaced Cubans are one of the most organized and secretive groups out there. They used to be set up in San Francisco, but have since re-located to the Southeast US (mostly Florida, obviously). I can assure you that the full power grid failure wasn't entirely the result of infrastructure issues. It had help internally.

Keep an eye on Cuba's primary agricultural product (sugar cane). It's a pretty good bet that they are going to have an unexpected and devastating bout of "red rot" (fungal infestation) in their next harvest.

We (and Israel) took the same approach with Iran. Only less subtle (since we used bombs to lower the living conditions) and wind up the population. Same result, however.

Between 2004 and 2008 Wachovia moved $378 billion from Mexican exchanges, I am told that Mexico's entire GDP at the time was $1.3 trillion

At least $110 million was Sinaloa Cartel cash, and $13 million of it bought planes that shipped 22 tons of cocaine into the US
HSBC was doing the same thing in Mexico

This is why Cartels are hard to stop, because too many white shoe, international banks are profiting from it. 2008 was the real estate securities market bubble that promised to kill the major banks. It seems that it could have been primed by cartel money, and when it popped, the US Taxpayers got to shell out to save the banks from having to tell the cartels the money went poof.

Venezuela falls, depriving Chy-Nah and Iran of a yuge customer.

Iran falls, depriving Chy-Nah of their best source of oil, and resulting in the fall of Hezbullah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas and all the rest of the retarded, psychopathic, goat-fucking monkeys of Islam of their greatest benefactor.

Cuba falls, without Iranian oil.

The price of oil plummets when a new regime in Iran starts selling oil freely to everyone.

Russia's economy, such as it is, collapses when the price of oil drops.

The North Korean people finally decide they've starved for enough decades and take matters into their own hands, devouring Kim Jong Un and the rest of the commie thugs ruling NK.

420 Wow, Boasberg... Chief Judge of DC, is now writing RULES for the DOJ and Grand Juries... calling them orders.

Now, this is interesting because the Constitution says it is up to CONGRESS to write rules for Courts lower than the Supremes... but delegated that authority to the SUPREMES in 1934.

But, under the Tariff precedent they recently set, they said MAJOR issues cannot really be delegated by Congress, if that power is given TO Congress, by the Constitution.

Seems that rules allowing Judges, to give orders to the entire executive branch, only based on Court Rules, not Law, would fit under that precedent.

And this is even a step further down... a regular Fed Judge, writing the rules that the Constitution says Congress is supposed to write.

I'm just fairly certain that the entire leftist ethos now is "colonialism". It's not even racism anymore when talking about anything outside of American borders.

So, they have to fight colonialism by imposing the current colonial orders.

Iran's De Facto Supreme Leader Ali Larijani Dies of Complications Due to Mojtaba Khamenei's AIDS and an Israeli Airstrike But Mostly Complications Due to Mojtaba Khamenei's AIDS

He didn't take his PrEP.

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was considered one of the most veteran and senior figures within the Iranian regime leadership and was a close associate of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

During the most recent wave of protests in Iran, Larijani employed violent enforcement measures and repression operations, personally overseeing the massacre against Iranians protesting the regime.

After Khamenei was killed in the opening strikes of the war over two weeks ago, Larijani consolidated his status as the de facto leader of the Iranian regime and led the combat efforts against the State of Israel and countries across the region.

Reports say that even before Khamenei was killed, Larijani had been put in charge of all of Iran's day-to-day management.

He delivered a defiant message on state television after the U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Khamenei, warning that Iran would make its enemies "regret" their actions and promising a forceful response.

That forceful response? Dying like a cigarette crushed under a boot.

Trump is reportedly very angry at the Europeans for refusing to help keep the Strait of America open -- and keeping their own oil flowing.

The US doesn't depend on the Strait of America. Europe does.

And they're refusing to send ships to keep it clear.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called out NATO for making a "very foolish mistake" by not helping the U.S. with the Iran operation, though he added "we don't need them."

Trump made the comments when answering questions from reporters during a meeting with the Taoiseach of Ireland in the Oval Office at the White House.

"I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake," Trump said when a reporter asked about getting America's allies to assist the U.S. in escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. "And I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us."

Trump added: "So this is a this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should have been there."

Warmongering homosexual homonculous Lindsey Graham ranted emotionally as usual, but he's not wrong.

Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies' unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what's at stake.

...

The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America.

I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

It's time to end NATO. There is no reciprocal advantage to the US -- it's just a blank-check commitment to continue supporting this dying-but-Islamizing continent with no counter-commitments flowing back to us.

They have no capacity or desire to defend themselves, let alone provide any kind of defense for us.

Trump added: "So this is a this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should have been there."


It has been noted before that the most likely reason for Europe's refusal to help is Europe's inability to help. They can't very well say "yeah, we've been playing you for a sucker for the last 80 years", so they act like this is a principled stand.

Remember during the Cold War when we needed to back "the doves in the Kremlin"?

Anyway, the one thing I know from history is that the Air Force (originally the Army Air Force) has promised that it could win a war entirely from the skies since the anti-industrial bombing campaign against Hitler. This has simply never, ever happened. Absolutely, air power can "hollow out" a regime so that ground forces can then just walk over what's left of them (remember the Afghanistan bombing campaign), but at the end, you do absolutely need those ground forces to drive the enemy out and kill them.

I keep wondering what the end game is. I speculate that maybe a drone campaign can serve as Almost Ground Forces, but I dunno.

129 Brit here, we don't want to be part of the 'coalition of the foreign meatshield'. Trump clearly has calculated that dead foreigners will hurt him less politically than dead Americans, hence the switch to asking for help from allies they never needed, who hung back from the frontlines in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Europe doesn't have anything to say sorry for. Trump treats all of you like sh*t and plays with your economies with his tariffs. You stood with us in every war so we know what's really going on. We're with all of you because we're saying no to Trump as well.

Come the midterms we're ending his rein of bullsh*t he forces on the whole world. After he loses power we're sending all of them to prison for their many crimes against us and everyone else.

We got this. Hang in there we'll be back better and stronger than ever. We got you too.

Does the reluctance from other countries signal declining US influence, or simply caution about escalating the conflict with Iran

As an American I'm glad to see that NATO is not coming to his rescue. He made this mess, it's on him. He wants to be remembered by history so badly, no one will forget this failure.

159 Absolutely, air power can "hollow out" a regime so that ground forces can then just walk over what's left of them (remember the Afghanistan bombing campaign), but at the end, you do absolutely need those ground forces to drive the enemy out and kill them.

A regime must have enforcers, and that's what is new. We can literally annihilate their enforcers on an individual basis. Individual citizens are calling up airstrikes via Starlink. There are reports that 90% of the Basiji aren't showing up for work, presumably because they want to keep breathing.

My best guess is that the Shah will form a transitional government to hold elections. After that, the outcome is anyone's guess, but how much worse could it be than the mullahs.

It's like a homeless diabetic showing up in the hospital over the course of 40 years and the doctors give him chocolate bars and booze, handwaving the unhealing foot ulcers and increasingly necrotic toes. It gets worse and worse, they do the same thing, for decades. One day he shows up and a different doctor is finally on shift who sees the man's gangrenous legs and knows the only way to save his life is double amputation. Everyone who contributed to the man's wretched state recoils in horror and condemns such an ugly and gruesome deed, calling the doctor a butcher and devoid of empathy.

215 >> I keep wondering what the end game is. I speculate that maybe a drone campaign can serve as Almost Ground Forces, but I dunno.

Drones have substantially changed the game. It’s not just cost, its capabilities. Lingering munitions have the capability to precisely and selectively take out targets. Add to that a substantial upgrade of munitions (smaller packages targeted to various missions) and it’s a game changer.

I believe the strategy here is to degrade their capabilities as much as possible, take out the worst people and wait for a phone call from whoever is left.

I am a huge critic of regime change. I hated the CPA and tha asshole Paul Bremer. What the did was take out the Baath Party and therefore put Iraq on the road to the mess we saw later on. So Trump et al, is taking the lessons learned from that and trying to keep some semblance of public order through continuity, with new people at the helm. YMMV.

252 Most of the "major European powers" lack the ability to even defend their own borders, let alone project any power.

Britain's Royal Navy is one of the best examples - on a day to day basis, Britain has perhaps 2 or 3 surface combatants and a single sub in service. They can deploy perhaps one of the surface combatants, intermittently. They lack the support infrastructure to sustain that deployment and so would depend on the US. They have 2 aircraft carriers but even after nearly a decade in service they are not ready for combat deployments.

The Royal Air Force is hardly any better, having 2 or 3 squadrons of tactical aircraft in effective service, with perhaps one being in a deployable state at any given time. They can offer little more than a token force.

Germany is even worse off. France is perhaps slightly better but only slightly so.

Pro Tip #1: KNOW which guns are on record of having been purchased by you.

Pro Tip #2: Don't store known/unknown guns in the same place. At the very least, keep them in a separate part of the house. Better yet, if possible keep them stored in an alternate address not associated with your name.

342 How many gallons of oil get shipped per tanker?
Posted by: Northernlurker , Maple Syrup MAGA at March 17, 2026 12:55 PM (1wILg)


The amount of oil shipped per tanker varies significantly based on the vessel's size and type.

Small tankers (e.g., highway tanker trucks) typically carry between 5,500 and 11,600 gallons (20,800 to 43,900 liters), with large semi-trailer trucks commonly holding around 9,000 to 11,600 gallons of gasoline or diesel.

Medium-sized tankers (e.g., AFRAMAX, LR1) can transport between 310,000 and 615,000 barrels of crude oil, which equates to 13 million to 25.8 million gallons.

Large tankers (e.g., VLCCs) carry approximately 2 million barrels, or about 84 million gallons.

The largest oil tanker ever built, the Seawise Giant, could transport up to 4 million barrels, amounting to 168 million gallons of crude oil per journey.

358 The UK, France, and Germany are led by Globalists, so they are literally on the other side. It's no surprise. Trump is exposing this.

On a related note, I expect we will see the dreaded "boots on the ground", but in a limited fashion. Specifically, the US could be using those Marines that are en route to secure the Iranian shore along the Strait of Hormuz, and maybe that critical oil infrastructure on Kharg Island.

Air power is incredible, and Special Ops can do amazing things, but but those things can only go just so far. To secure Iran's oil industry, and the Strait - send in the Marines.

But the army that's supposed to take over the whole country is a insurgency of Iranians not the US Army.

And what kind of coverage you are looking for.

In the Straight, there are well defined shipping lanes, so if they could (and I don't think they can, at least not anymore) they could set mines at different depths, with different proximity distance, and technically be a real threat.

But since that hasn't happened yet, I doubt it ever will. Missiles are Iran's only remaining threat, and a gay one at that.

True. But the USA was two years late to both World Wars, and recently bugged out of Afghanistan leaving all their allies in the lurch. You're still the same country and the same people (the ones who voted for Jimmy Carter, who basically started the Iranian Revolution, Obama, who funded the Mullahs, and President Autopen, who was even worse than Jimmy Carter at foreign policy), even if you (temporarily) have a different leader. And the UK politicians have bad memories of getting burned by following Bush into Iraq.

America told us it was 'America First' and they weren't interested in participating in any wars that didn't serve American interests, like Ukraine. It makes sense, then, that Europe should be 'Europe First' and not help America. Make up your minds! Are we going to kick ass and change regimes around the globe or aren't we?

One important thing to realize is that to be a modern leftist you have to believe that the world is nearly doomed, everyone is against you, you are an oppressed minority fighting a feeble resistance, Nazis are all around you and now in charge, and you are alone. That is the psychology of the left, they really believe it.

Its why they are so evangelistic, so they can share this burden and add to their numbers, and why they need constant, endless propaganda to give them some hope and morale.

It makes sense, then, that Europe should be 'Europe First' and not help America. Make up your minds! Are we going to kick ass and change regimes around the globe or aren't we?

We're not asking Europe to do anything hard. That remains the task of the USAF, USN, and IAF. That's also why Europe's inability to even do that is telling. We've all heard the tales of France's aircraft carrier that's more deadly to its own crew than enemy combatants, but this is a whole new level of dysfunction.

Eh, The Europeans will not even address their own internal security from imported jihadis, so they lack the ability anymore to protect their vital interests, like oil imports, abroad. They seem to like getting their critical energy imports from countries that despise and hate them like Russia or the Middle East because in turn those countries buy Euro products.

Expecting them to do much in NATO if the Russians ever did take up invading is a laughable proposition. Individual front line countries like Poland, or perhaps the Baltics might do so, but the Germans, Brits, and French are stuck into terminal decline as their economies and military power shrivels while they import killers from foreign lands to destroy their domestic societies.

To me, the "cool" part of it is that drones most probably could not ever actually sink a tanker: hurt the super-structure and command centers, sure, but it would be easily salvageable.

Certainly not to minimize any loss of life, but I think Iran, at this point, really has zero cards to play in the Straight of AMERICA.

Some Zodiacs or fishing smacks can go lay mines, they can't carry much. During WWII the USN could spot submarine snorkels within visual range, and I suspect the ability has improved since then so that is sort of a losing bet for the mine laying crews.
I think there is more problem with missiles and drones, and that is something that counterbattery fire would do better, and there is that targeting issue for isolated IRGC launching crews. I also think the USN should borrow Embraer Super Tucanos from Chile for air and surface drones

I concur. They speak of ships being hit with an "unknown projectile", or some such thing. So, probably drones. I haven't heard about any of the ships hit actually sinking, but when they carry flammable oil the damage can be pretty severe, I think.

I think you are correct. Found this summary of the Iran Iraq war, Strauss Center is the source.
"Lessons Learned:

Iran and Iraq used anti-ship cruise missiles in more than half of all attacks on shipping during the Tanker War. Iraq used missiles in approximately 80 percent of their attacks on commercial ships.
Oil tankers are not very vulnerable to damage. 61 percent of the ships attacked during the Tanker War were oil tankers. In total, only 55 of the 239 petroleum tankers (23 percent) were completely sunk or declared CTL, compared to 39 percent of bulk carriers and 34 percent of freighters."

And we are taking out the trash. Nothing indicates the UK is doing anything similar until after the five year mandated elections.

FWIW, Latinos are not jihadis by and large, most do work, and drugs are a separate issue. Cartels mainly come from Mexico's failed state situation and Chicoms selling chemical precursors to Mexican cartel producers.

Europe's economy flatlined somewhere between the late 1990's and early 00's and that means that the money to fund its military has dried up. At the same time, France, UK, and Germany began importing vast hordes from the Africa, Middle East, and S. Asia. And these have not been productive citizens.

Posted by: Nazdar at March 17, 2026 12:51 PM (NcvvS)

Drones are best at interdiction and scouting, like most air forces. They have the advantage that many could land on site to save fuel, like Harriers did in the Falklands in 1982. Some have a light strike capability.

571 t's time to end NATO. There is no reciprocal advantage to the US -- it's just a blank-check commitment to continue supporting this dying-but-Islamizing continent with no counter-commitments flowing back to us.

They have no capacity or desire to defend themselves, let alone provide any kind of defense for us. -Ace-

Euros have been mighty smug about their government bennies and lifestyle, afforded by us covering their butts militarily.
Time to stand on their own, which as we all know will lead to war on the continent in 10 years.
Then they'll expect us to do the right thing (to paraphrase Churchill, after we've exhausted every other option), and they're probably right.
But maybe not.
Some of them may die, but that's a risk I'm willing to make (more paraphrasing)

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Gavin Newsom is a creation of the media and of the dynastic California political families that run the state along with the lunatic leftists who are their storm troopers.

He is, frankly, dumber than a rock, and as he ages he looks more and more like a middle-aged lesbian trying to pass as a soccer mom. His media consultants seem to be equally stupid, since any 12-year-old could tell them that he looks like an effete, effeminate ass with his tight jeans and tightly crossed legs. And his neck seems to be stretching also, perhaps because of the face lifts? Or maybe that is a side effect of years of BrylCreem use?

He is obviously trying to position himself as the de facto Democrat Presidential nominee for the 2028 election, and he is gleefully embracing the tax-the-rich mantra that the Democrats can't seem to shake. But Newsom is doubling down on that tired old parasitic talking point, and actually claiming that contrary to all data, California is a better tax state!

How he does it is an exercise in rank stupidity and ignorance, both of the speaker and the audience. Why his rapt and captive listeners don't laugh him off the stage is a testament to the idiocy of the rank-and-file left.

The California tax scheme is indeed progressive, and the Texas and Florida schemes are indeed regressive, but those are technical terms that do not reflect the reality, which is that the total tax burden of everyone in California: rich, middle class, or poor, is higher than that of Texas and Florida residents. And by a lot!

And it's not just high gas taxes and sales taxes; California has an income tax, unlike Florida and Texas, so the more its residents work and make, the more they are taxed. It tops out at an unbelievable 13.3%, plus -- I'm not making this up -- a 1% "Mental Health Services" tax. And it is onerous not just on well-off people who make more than $1,000,000/year. It is an insulting 9.3% marginal rate on income over about $75,000! That's not wealthy. That is scraping by in many parts of California, with $5 gasoline and outrageously expensive electricity (more than 50% higher than average).

Hopefully the Republican nominee in 2028 will "pounce" on this inconvenient, economy-destroying rate and eviscerate Governor Brylcreem for this and many other anti-freedom and anti-growth policies that he embraces like the unrepentant economic and social leftist that he is.

47 Newsom's argument is that the bottom 20% pay more in taxes in Texas and Florida than in California.

That's nice.

They use this argument in the state of Washington as well - what they don't count, of course is transfer payments.

If you are getting "free" health care, food stamps, housing vouchers, etc., that fact that you are theoretically paying a larger share of your "income" in taxes than someone making more than you isn't terribly relevant.

Part of it is the increase in oil prices. Most gas stations price gas based on futures contracts on oil barrels purchased.

But a lot of it is just, honestly, price gouging. The rise is out of step with current future contract price increases.

Places like Costco, that seem to have policies around selling gas at precise margins, should see falls fastest and emotional exuberance dies down.

No. The fine for failure to pay a tax was established years ago. The potential jail time for refusal to pay, likewise. The fact that the tax which you're not paying was retroactive is irrelevant.

Back during the last "oil crisis", we had one gas station almost double their prices overnight. They were the first station when coming into town on the main road. After about two days, everyone noticed all the other stations had only a moderate increase. Now, if memory serves, the town shut the place down for a couple of days accusing them of just blatant gouging.

Don't remember the final outcome, but I do remember things going back to "normal"...

105 Huge scandal in Illinois!

Daniel Biss, candidate for IL-09 in tomorrow's election, has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student during his tenure as a professor at the University of Chicago

Megan Wachspress, now a Stanford law lecturer, says she was that student


Amazing how she only remembered this the day before the primary.

Biss (then in his mid-20's) asked her out on a date after her class with him was over - they had a couple of dates, including a make-out session, and then he thought better of it.

Bliss' opponent is Kat Abughazaleh, a "Palestinian" who would be another Rashida Tlaib in Congress.

Well, war uncertainty was always gonna bring more increases b/c oil is a worldwide-use product...and uncertainty breeds price increase...

And businesses always use the expectations of price increases to make actual price increases. Most are not following a moral code, so if they see a path to make more money, they will take it.

So, you put the three things together and you get price increases like we have...

The vast majority of voters choose culturally. Their chosen political party is just a jersey they put on at the height of political Super Bowl season.

They don't vote on policy or even personality.

They vote because they're Democrat or Republican. That's it.

Hard to break that, but it's never by arguing policy. Might as well argue with a Browns fan that they shouldn't cheer for their team anymore because they suck.

116 Florida doesn't have state income tax, which SEEMS good, but you have to live in Florida, which is a downside imo. For the middle and lower class, no state income tax means those groups pay more, proportionally, in taxes through sales and other taxes. That's the way every state without state income tax works.

Isn't that the generally accepted truth? Middle and lower class pay higher taxes in Texas, but the the upper class pays higher taxes in California.

California has way better public services, better parks, better hospitals, better schools. Fuck the GOP. I'll gladly pay a little more tax for a fuckload more back than any shithole red state gives you.

Whatever Newsom is doing is working for him. He's rapidly overtaking Harris in 2028 potential polling. Anyone should be opening a commanding lead over Harris after her terrible performance in 2024. I want AOC over milquetoast Newsom but at this point a sun-dried CADAVER would be better than any republican.

I want someone who believes in what they say, and Newsom is not that. He sniffs about for middle of the road liberal opinions and reaches across the aisle to conservatives. don't need him.

125 And yet, as much as we are taxed here in the Golden State, California doesn't tax Social Security.

Also, as long term homeowners, we get a yuuuge break from property taxes thanks to the tax revolt in the '70's. My own little house is well over $1M, my annual property tax bill is just about $ 5000.

Chevron stations around me are 5.79 for regular. I saw a Mobil station charging over $7/gal for credit card regular. They weren't doing much business. Lowest I've seen locally is Arco for just about 4.90/gal.

The viral video is CGI hype mixing old concepts (microwaves, infrasound) with unverified claims—no DoD/CENTCOM evidence matches it. Standard EW exists, but this specific story is misinformation.

This is rather amusing since Kamala has exactly as much in common with black Americans as Obama did- zero.

Both brought up in a wealthy household by mothers who were not black, sired by fathers who were black but not American.

Kamala, thankfully, doesn't have Obama's acting ability, so she will fail once again. (Obama isn't smart, though he thinks he is. But he IS an amazing actor- he knows how to read lines written for him.)

Vietnam had daily updates, not 24-7 ones...and it was kept secret for a few years til LBJ blew it up and wide open. Once that happened, people were against it pretty rapidly...not a majority to start, but a sizeable minority...

Yeah, I focused on the quagmire half of the statement, but it's clear the objective is to degrade the Iranian government and its ability to do anything. Seems simple enough.
Some secondary goals which might be nice but not necessary would be an Iran which rejects the mullahcracy and is no longer a threat to the region, a freer and prosperous country yadda yadda.
But fucking up their shit until they can't do shit seems like a clear and achievable objective.

My husband didn’t die for Israel. He died because this war has been targeting Americans for decades. Long before most people ever started paying attention.
We didn’t suddenly stumble into this because of Israel. Our service members have been in the crosshairs of Iranian-backed terror networks for years. That’s the reality families like mine have lived with.
So spare me the talking point that this is “Israel’s war.”

Boyd Hillier, vice-president of the St. John's Junior Hockey League, said the violent game on March 7 between the St. John's Junior Caps and the Southern Shore Junior Breakers was a "black eye" on hockey in the region.

August 21, 2024

Gold Star husband and retired Green Beret Joe Kent shares the true story and legacy of his wife, Shannon Kent, in his newest book, Send Me: The True Story of a Mother at War.
-----
The children were 3 years and 18 months when their mother was killed.

Joe Kent became a non-interventionist.

He likely wasn't able to withstand the demands of & decisions needed to be made in the position of the 8th Director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Kent, in his letter today, defends the American actions against ISIS in the Syrian Civil War, the conflict that claimed his wife's life.

He just blames it on the Jews now.

319 Boyd Hillier, vice-president of the St. John's Junior Hockey League, said the violent game on March 7 between the St. John's Junior Caps and the Southern Shore Junior Breakers was a "black eye" on hockey in the region. The league has since handed out suspensions to 18 players and coaches worth a collective total of 53 games, Hillier said Saturday.

347 California has an income tax, unlike Florida and Texas

The absence of an income tax isn't really always a wonderful thing. Texas property taxes are sky-high, and the oft-overlooked part from that is that property taxes are due whether you are employed or not.

Yes, there is a lot of other stuff that goes along with this: what are fees? what are the sales taxes? how are they applied? what are the relative tax rates for income & property? How do functions split between State-duty versus individual citizen? And, overall, how does it all add up to the total tax burden of the States' residents?

You really have to get down to the accounting entry level to do a fair comparison of one tax scheme versus another. I get so tired of the "they have no income tax" as if that's the greatest thing ever. It ain't. The taxman gets his due.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at March 17, 2026 11:18 AM (p7EWr)

“Price gouging” is a term used by economic illiterates.

Besides, as the pandemic demonstrated, not even markets set prices. The people who set the price? The police. (Because businesses cannot set prices based on supply and demand. That’s called “price gouging” in this allegedly capitalist country. There are laws on the books preventing this. Hence the shortages during the pandemic.)

How come TX has what all the other states have - without income taxes?

Posted by: Cow Demon at March 17, 2026 01:28 PM (kBisb)


Because my property taxes are 3x higher in Texas than they were anywhere else I've lived.

Texas is very different from other States in what it funds. Because of Texas' greater emphasis on local governance & control, the State of Texas simply doesn't require as much money as other States do; the funding is kept more local. Thus, the State of Texas doesn't need an income tax, but the local communities need more bucks, and these come mostly from property taxes - which is why my property taxes are so high.

34 I had to look it up too.

Description
"The Use of Tears" depicts a young woman in a melancholic scene, likely on her sickbed. This theme was common in the 19th century, reflecting the emotional struggles of the time. The painting showcases Bonington's skill in capturing sentiment and detail, making it a notable work in his oeuvre.

Significance
Bonington was known for his contributions to watercolor painting and his ability to blend realism with emotional depth. His works, including "The Use of Tears," are celebrated for their technical proficiency and evocative subject matter.

79 This isn't one I would hang but Bonington's technique is interesting and effective. The textures, except for the grandmother (?) and her chair, are soft and faded, as if after a struggle. The colors are muted earth tones, they appear tired which is appropriate.

It's the old lady who is the focus with her dark clothing, solid wood chair and more distinct features. That shifts the focus from the death of a young person to the acceptance of loss. At that time any old person would have lost many family members and friends during their lifetime. She is not immune to the passing and pain but may have run out of tears after losing so many others. But the tenderness is still there in the way she holds the girls hand so gently.

91 It's worth a look at Bonington's (be polite!) other paintings. He is excellent at using natural light and skies to set a mood. And his soft brush work allows the viewer to focus on different parts of the painting, trying to discern detail, until all aspects blend, creating a whole image. In some ways he sets the tone for the Impressionist movement that would follow fifty years later.

What a shame he died so young.

111 The Use of Tears, 1827
Richard Parkes Bonington, English, 1802-1828

Irish woes then? (Off to the Mother & Baby homes or Magdalene Laundries she'll be going?)

Artvee: In part, "Richard Parkes Bonington was an English Romantic landscape painter, who moved to France at the age of 14 and can also be considered as a French artist, and an intermediary bringing aspects of English style to France. Becoming, after his early death, one of the most influential British artists of his time, the facility of his style was inspired by the old masters, yet was entirely modern in its application. His landscapes were mostly of coastal scenes, with a low horizon and large sky, showing a brilliant handling of light and atmosphere. He also painted small historical cabinet paintings in a freely-handled version of the troubadour style."

He had a large body of generally very nice works; beautifully detailed, varying subjects, and colors accenting lighting & placement.

I wouldn't hang today's art selection but would for many of his others.

Thanks.

In February 2021, Kent announced his campaign for the United States House of Representatives election for Washington's third congressional district. He established himself as a candidate supportive of Donald Trump. Kent faced allegations of apparent associations between himself and white nationalists in his campaign. He won the Republican primary against incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler, but lost to Democratic candidate Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in what was considered a major upset. Kent ran again in 2024, losing to Gluesenkamp Perez again by a larger margin.

"Ah Jaysus, no, no, no... I'm not drunk at all, at all!
This? This is just a few pints, lads!
Sure, beer’s not even proper drinkin’—it's like... like water with a bit o' flavour and happiness in it! I'm as sober as a judge on a Monday mornin'! Look at me, I'm grand—perfectly steady! (stumbles slightly) See? That's just the floor bein' uneven, not me!

We should absolutely wait to act until Iran has nuclear weapons, thousands of missiles with the range to strike the continental US, and has launched. Only then may we act. And only after getting permission from the UN, lest someone believe that the Joos are manipulating us.

230 Thanks for the kind thoughts to all of you knuckleheads. The mourning occurred over the past six months as we watched her slow physical and mental decline. By the end she was a pale shadow of herself, and her death was a blessing of release, not a tragedy. Ninety three years is a darn good run.

231 Muldoon, JTB and I wish you and your wife our deepest condolences on the death of your MIL. Sounds like an interesting lady.

232 169 This art is rather apropos for me and my wife. At age 93, after coming to live with us six months ago and showing a long slow progressive decline she left this vail of tears this past weekend. Her last coherent words, as we tried to physically restrain her from crawling out of bed were, "I'm going to call the police!" She died peacefully in her sleep in the arms of Morpheus (provided by the hospice team). RIP Mom

My most sincere and deepest condolences to you and yours, Muldoon. May His arms both welcome her home and comfort you all.

I know well this sting, having lost my mom 3 1/2 years ago just shy of her 80th birthday. A simple UTI turned septic, which shocked her liver and damaged her brain. She lingered for a week in palliative care after the initial diagnosis of a day, with a "false rebound" in the middle of that. What makes it even worse was that she passed when I was at home getting a change of clothes, so she was alone, though in a medically induced coma. I will never get over that.

The Morning Report — 3/17/26

Despicable.jpg

Good morning kids. The word of the day is "DESPICABLE", and in the bitterest of bitter ironies it was belched out by a bipedal coprolite named Chuck Schumer, that is its very definition.

In 1990, Schumer co-sponsored a diversity visa program that offered green cards to 50,000 applicants annually via a lottery system. . . One noteworthy winner of this lottery program in 2010 was Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, a Muslim immigrant and ISIS supporter from Uzbekistan. Seven years later — on October 31, 2017 — Saipov used a rental truck to mow down and kill eight people (and injure at least twelve others) in a busy New York City bike path as an act of jihad. . .

Keep that in abeyance for a moment and cut to 2009

“[I]llegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. When we use phrases like ‘undocumented workers,’ we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the United States legally. Any immigration solution must recognize that we must do as much as we can to gain operational control of our borders as soon as possible.”

. . . In April 2012, Schumer introduced a bill designed to eliminate laws like SB 1070, an Arizona statute deputizing state police to check with federal authorities on the immigration status of criminal suspects. The senator charged that such laws would inevitably result in “untrained officers … arresting anyone and everyone who might fit the preconceived profile of an illegal immigrant.”

In 2013 Schumer led the so-called “Gang of Eight”—four Democrat and four Republican U.S. senators—in the push to pass a sweeping, 844-page immigration-reform bill aimed at giving provisional legal status to at least 11 million illegal immigrants and placing them on a path-to-citizenship. The other Democrats on the panel were Michael Bennet, Richard Durbin, and Robert Menendez. A Politico.com analysis noted that their proposal, if passed, “would transform the nation’s political landscape” by “pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that … would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily.”

When Republicans in Congress failed to support the Gang of Eight’s proposal in sufficient numbers to pass it, Schumer blamed that failure on the racism of “Tea Party elites” who, he said, opposed amnesty because they did not want want America to become “less white.” “Yes, things have changed,” Schumer elaborated. “White Anglo-Saxon men are not exclusively running the country anymore…. In a pre-Tea Party world, the Senate immigration bill would have been welcomed by House Republicans,. However, the Tea Party rank-and-file know it’s a different America. It looks different; it prays different; it works different. This is unsettling and angering to some.”

In February 2014, Schumer said that Congress should make amnesty available to all immigrants who had come to the U.S. illegally as recently as December 31, 2013. When some Republican lawmakers expressed reluctance to pass an immigration bill because they simply did not trust that President Obama would enforce it, Schumer said: “There’s a simple solution. Let’s enact the law this year, but simply not let it actually start until 2017, after President Obama’s term is over.”
. . Schumer proceeded to call on Trump to close down his Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which was investigating how to best deal with voter fraud. “[W]hat troubles so many Americans every bit as much as the president’s shocking response to this national tragedy is the methodical and pernicious way in which his administration is promoting discrimination, both subtle and not so subtle, in its policies and actions — especially when it comes to undermining the universal right of every American to vote,” Schumer said in a post on Medium.com. “Many of us found the Election Integrity Commission distasteful when it was first created,” he added. “The president’s recent failure to unequivocally condemn bigotry makes its rescission imperative…. Many of us found the Election Integrity Commission distasteful when it was first created. The president’s recent failure to unequivocally condemn bigotry makes its rescission imperative.”

Emphasis above mine as we now Psaki-Psircle back to Despicable/Chuck Schemer today:

Schumer claimed that President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are attempting to “disenfranchise millions of Americans and undermine democracy by pushing this despicable SAVE Act,” also called the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act.

He also called the election integrity bill “one of the most despicable pieces of legislation I’ve come across in the many years I’ve been a legislator.”

“Nothing is more important than defeating this dagger to the heart of our democracy,” the Democrat leader told reporters. 

Translation, it's a dagger in the black heart of Democrat tyranny, putting a real impediment to their ability to steal elections.

A Mauritanian illegal immigrant marked for deportation since 2002 has continued to live in the US and is a registered Democrat who voted in every election since 2008, authorities claim.

Mahady Sacko, 50, who goes by the nickname “Sacko Scorpion,” was busted last week in Philadelphia for allegedly falsely claiming citizenship to cast a 2024 ballot.

He was picked up in a joint operation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI who charge he “falsely represented that he was a US citizen in order to vote and register to vote” in the last preidential election, according to a press release.

Sacko denied the charges when called by The Post, claiming: “Everything is a lie! They are lying about me!” before hanging up. He has yet to enter a plea in his case.

As the issue of election security ramps up in Congress with the SAVE act, Sacko’s arrest was one of nearly a dozen uncovered by The Post of non-citizens allegedly voting in US elections, sometimes for decades, with many remaining listed as active voters on state rolls, even after their convictions.

“The reality is aliens are voting in American elections,” J. Christian Adams, president of Public Interest Legal Foundation, who has spent decades working on election integrity told The Post, noting no one is quite sure how widespread the problem is.

There were about 14 million people who are in the country legally but who are not citizens in 2023, according to the Pew Research center. While they may have work permits and visas, they can’t vote.

“It’s way worse than the left says, but it’s way better than some others say,” he added.

Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, stands out for disastrous alien voter registration, said Adams. The Keystone State has admitted a glitch in its “motor voter” program, which registers voters at the DMV, inadvertently has allowed approximately 100,000 non-citizens to register to vote, though some state officials dispute this number.

Another Pennsylvania voter, Indian citizen Kaushalkumar Patel, 47, of Allentown will stand trial this month for allegedly voting illegally in the 2020 election in Penn.

Patel’s lawyer Philip Steinberg previously said he’s waiting for more information from the goverment laying out their case against Patel, saying in a statement: “Mr. Patel has lived a law abiding life in the United States for over 20 years. He works, pays his taxes and is an active participant in his community. He is also the proud father of two young daughters.”

On March 6, Canadian Denis Bouchard, 70, pleaded guilty to two counts of making false claims he was a US citizen to vote in 2022 and 2024 elections in North Carolina and faces ten years in prison.

An investigation by The Post revealed a man by the same name and age had voted in every election since 2004 and was not registered with a political party. That man was removed from voter rolls in that state after Bouchard’s conviction.

In one shocking case, Chinese national Haoxiang Gao, 19, who was a student at the University of Michigan, was charged on June 3 last year with illegally voting in the 2024 election, but fled to China before he could face justice. . .

. . . Polling shows the SAVE Act is extremely popular with voters, getting over 70% support, with even half of Democrats in favor.

Not only do illegal aliens help steal elections, they steal our society and destroy our culture. Talk about decolonization. Well, Decolonization begins at home. Assimilate or get the hell out. By any means necessary. Yeah, Schemer and the Dems are easy targets but Thune and the GOP not going all out to ram this bill home is is as sharp a dagger as Schemer and his ilk's opposition.

While we're on the subject of despicable, I give you the Blonde-bobed Borgia of Bolshevism:

Wow. I’ve been keeping track of Virgina’s new governor, Abigail Spanberger, she who ran as that rarest of political creatures: a moderate Democrat. But the moment she was inaugurated, she ripped off the mask and flew her socialist freak flag. Nowhere has this been more evident in her—and the Democrat-controlled legislature’s--mania for gun control.

I wrote about her “assault weapon” and magazine capacity ban on March 15 in Democrats go gun crazy. Despite there being no such thing as an “assault weapon,” Spanberger has banned AR-15s and the like as well as magazines with greater than 15-round capacity. This is a blatant violation of Heller and Bruen and is sure to be eventually overturned by the Supreme Court, if Democrats don’t seize total control of government and pack the Supreme Court before then.  But that’s just the beginning . . .These constitutionally suspect measures are surely only the beginning. The legislature, at the urging of the “moderate” Spanberger, are on a roll. It’s HB 110 that is most revealing of their ultimate intentions. All tyrants immediately ban citizen ownership of guns. That’s a bit difficult in America, which unlike all other nations has a Second Amendment, so they go as far as they dare, and Spanberger dares greatly.

Tyrants also exempt themselves from the law they pass. I know our Congress routinely does that . . . They’re exempt because they’re special. Normal Virginians aren’t fit to exercise their full rights under the Second Amendment, but Democrats—morally and intellectually superior beings—are.

The author notes "Virginia is fast becoming a socialist tyranny., to which I ask "and how should an armed citizenry react to prevent this?"

Elsewhere, the situation in Iran continues apace as is evidenced by the links.

Have a great Day!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

I'm with Levin on this: he's the only conservative "influencer" (perhaps aside from President Trump) calling out the Deep State PsyOp "Right-Wing" Anti-Semite Grifting Hate-America Firsters by name.

Virtually every other "influencer" cowardly refuses to do so -- hiding behind the old RINO "we're better than that crowd" that gave us The Clintons, DogEater, F. Joe Mugabe, and Kommie-la.

76 The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit ruled Monday that the Trump administration can continue to quickly deport migrants to third countries after U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy directed the administration last month to first try to remove migrants to the country they came from and allow them to contest the deportation if their home country is not available.

Murphy on Monday blocked the Trump administration from making a series of changes to vaccines, including a recent overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule.

The winter of '24-'26 has been exceptionally lean in terms of total snowfall and snowpack levels in the upper Colorado River drainage and indeed throughout the Colorado Rockies, with current snowpack levels at or near historic lows for this date, well below the average. While there may yet be a late snow dump in the high country boosting the final totals, it looks to be a low run-off year.

Here in Grand Junction we only had two snow days all winter, with less than 3" each time. Mildest, driest winter in my memory.

155 Actually, no they can't legally do so, for example no Poll Tax, no legal firearms tax etc. A state's authority to tax IS limited by the US Constitution. Do Blue states get away with illegal taxes? Sure they do, the same way they get away with illegal gun control laws: because we stopped tarring and feathering politicians in the 1800's.

The poll tax is explicitly called out in the 24th Amendment in such a way as to bind the states. Firearms taxes are legal provided that they are not used as a mechanism to prohibit purchase. Lots of states have property taxes - Texas included - which is a form of wealth tax.

No, the 5th amendment is one of the ones incorporated against the states by the 14th amendment. Otherwise states could equally be able to take your life without due process.

238 All sorts of things are legal that most people don't know about. For example there is a paper note called a five dollar gold back, which is legal tender in several states, which has a thread containing 1/1000 ounce of gold in it. That meets the Constitutional requirement for a state authorized legal tender, which can only be Gold or Silver.

240 Taxes are odd.

The government has an unending desire for money. And then has to decide what groups to tax (and how many dollars to print).

The fairest tax would obviously be a simple head tax. If FedGov spends $10k/citizen, every citizen gets a $10k bill.

But that would lead to riots and actual insurrections. So instead they hide as much of the impact of taxes as possible and target groups that they think will just "take it".

And here is one of my biggest complaints with the GOPe. The productive class which mostly votes R is the primary target of the tax code. Job #1 then for the GOPe would be to shift that to target primarily D voters - think Trump's SALT changes but way way bigger then that.

258 Spanberger and banning 'assault weapons and hi-cap magazines' are two excellent examples of the Left's strategy of getting the camel's nose into the tent.

Spanberger has spent the past 10 years as a Congresscritter falsely portraying herself as a moderate. Playing a long game for her planned eventual election to a much more powerful office. Next step for her is running for a Virginia Senate seat, Veep, or POTUS. She can run for anything in '28 and keep her governor's job if she loses. Her schtick will continue to be falsely running as Mommy Moderate.

Democrats see getting assault weapons banned by SCOTUS as the key win leading to a total civilian gun ban. The immediate goal is to sway enough SCOTUS justices into allowing states to ban them because they are evil mass murder devices, somehow not covered for civilian possession by the 2nd Amendment. If they win that fight, their next step will be working to ban shotguns or small pistols or some other class of firearm. Claiming they are now evil mass murder devices. Banning assault rifles will set a precedent for banning any class of firearm. Wash, rinse, repeat as needed to ban all civilian possession of guns.

272 What's amazing is Trump saw the psy op to split the party coming and preempted it. He immediately called out the Epstein people as kooks. At a time when that was a huge risk because it came out of left field.

That had nothing to do with Epstein - it was all to blunt the force of what was coming - the "thoughtful MAGA" on our side leading about half (or a large minority) of the party against itself. And make no mistake the Epstein piece was gamed out well in advance as the thing that could exploit existing fault lines in Trump support. Since they couldn't make their own party stronger, they needed to weaken us.

Trump *immediately* corraled them, before the op even got going in earnest, with everyone wondering why he'd "gone crazy" that day. Risked looking like a pedophile AND going after his "biggest supporters" and the entire base he'd built, two things they assumed Trump and his "ego" would never do. All because they wouldn't, because they actually are vain arrogant pedos. Dummies.

Reminds me of the pretty good 1991 film The Rocketeer, featuring a young pilot (portrayed by Billy Campbell) who becomes a rocket-powered hero with a young Jennifer Connelly as his love interest.

TRIVIA: In '86, after graduating from college and going back to my hometown of Las Vegas, I played on the local club Rugby Club Team with Billy Campbell (a great guy and a stud athlete) -- and cousin of the great actor Bruce Campbell (best know for portraying Ash in the "Evil Dead" trilogy as well as the TV series "Burn Notice").

He was in town filming the first couple seasons of the great TV Series "Crime Story" starring Dennis Farina. The stories he used to tell about the Hollywood cocaine parties (in which he refused to indulge) were amazing ...

"I'll never forget our anniversary, for sure."

349 Spanberger gets to cruise the Sunday morning press magazine shows and crow about how she enacted "common sense gun control laws." All of this is just "resume building" for higher offices.

Interesting because for the past couple of years, the demographics who bought the most guns or became the first time gun owners, include women, PoC, LGBTQ+ and various marginalized communities.

Dems are incapable of keeping up with political trends because all of their consultants stopped learning things in 2007. They are incapable of challenging their priors.

“Our main priority is affordability and ensuring all Virginians have access to housing.” *Goes straight to guns* It's really bad timing to split the base now. This may cost them the redistricting bill.

Democrats consistently shit the bed 😭😭😭😭 I’m so sick of this. They're the Washington Generals of politics.

This is the moment in history they could flip huge numbers of voters, but they decide to demonstrate that they are still all in on the biggest single issue that keeps single issue voters opposed to them, and gains them nothing.

This is one reason the Dems have been going totally nuts when a Republican wins a POTUS election. With five Leftist Justices, the Left believes it will be able to get SCOTUS to both gut the Bill of Rights and declare a whole lot of unpopular Leftist-desired policies and laws Constitutional. Also, everything getting to SCOTUS will be strictly screened by a Leftist reading of the 14th Amendment equal protection clause.

The State of NH has a state run monopoly on liquor stores.

Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at March 17, 2026 09:29 AM (N39Ws)

411 In certain states, including Florida, courts have carved out a unique legal pathway allowing hospitals to seek emergency orders compelling cesarean sections against a woman’s clearly expressed wishes.

That almost happened to us with the first kid. The people on my wife's side have...big heads. When they did an ultrasound of the kiddo, his head was large and they were afraid he was gonna be a Down's baby, and a huge baby if full term, and advised an abortion might be warranted. At one point, the doctor wanted to induce my wife, but the answer was, "we have wedding to go to." Doc said, "The wedding is more important than your baby?" So doc sets date to induce wife. That morning, we get a call that they are over-filled with mamas going into labor and we're told not to come in, so we don't...until doctor calls a few hours later and says, "No, you NEED to come in." So they give her the drugs to induce. If it wasn't because the doc was so tired and needed a nap, she would have been C-sectioned, but instead, that gave enough time for full dilation and a natural birth...he weighed in at 7lbs, 10oz, not a huge baby. Yes, docs do get it wrong.

Larijani was last seen in public at a Quds Day march in Tehran on Friday. Iran has not confirmed whether he has been killed or injured

Drones and rockets were launched at the US embassy in Iraq's capital Baghdad overnight, in the second such attack of the war - BBC Verify examines videos of interceptions

The UAE's defence ministry says it is intercepting drones and missiles from Iran, with Qatar saying it has also been targeted by missiles

One Iranian tells BBC Persian the war is "really destroying my nerves", while Tehran's Ministry of Intelligence says it has confiscated "hundreds of Starlink devices", which are used by some Iranians to access the internet

In the US, a top counterterrorism official resigns over the ongoing conflict, saying "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation"

Are we intending to allow the whole woke Left agenda, item by item by item, to each embark upon the chimeral journey through the court system?

11 It uses face detection to overlay what it thinks faces should look like on your game's graphics, adding twenty years to the age of characters while leaving their clothes untouched and sometimes leaving random items looking like they've just been dragged backwards through an industrial recycling facility.


DigitalFoundry did a quick video on YT on DLSS 5.
They said that Nvidia claims that it's machine learning is simply readjusting lighting to achieve the new faces of the game characters, but I find that hard to believe.

It does look like the AI is recreating a path-traced version of in game lighting to give better depth and lighting realism but there's no way it's not recreating faces, especially in some of the examples Nvidia's demo showed.

The example of Grace from Requiem Evil they've been using, is obviously AI re-generated.

It may actually help some games look better, especially older titles.

But Nvidia has to come up with a way to optimize DLSS 5 because very few people can afford a 5090 to run it on.
This seems to be a preview of DLSS 6, which will probably only run on 6000 series GPUs next year.

I've bought from Apple, Best Buy, and Amazon.
Not really much difference between them as far as service, etc.

Sometimes Best Buy and Amazon have sales on Apple products, which Apple rarely, if ever, does.

Best Buy usually adds in some free software or subscription trials to streaming services with their sales. With the Neo they give you Apple News, Apple Music, Apple Gaming, and Apple TV for free trials for 1 to 3 months.

If you get it directly from Apple they usually include a few free trials as well, so really up to you on how fast you want to get it delivered.

In the '90s there was a coffee-bakery in Albuquerque that offered green chile bagels. They weren't greenish in color, just had bits of green chile in them. Faintly spicy. I always thought some place in Da Swamp should have imported them -- people here love spicy.

The coffee-bakery also had chicory coffee, which seems rare outside the South. You could buy it in some groceries in Denver, but people there acted as if it were burned over a campfire. "You like that cowboy coffee, huh?"

I don't think Mark Levin can afford to, since he's in the same attention economy. Although feuding with Megyn Kelly could raise her profile (as when Trump did), it would raise his too, and the opportunity cost could be too much to pass it up. I guess it depends if there's a countervailing cost to his dignity, and how much he values that.

As an aside, Trump is a real natural at that kind of thing. I make an effort to notice the "dog that didn't bark" kind of events, since they're hard to notice by definition, and one is that feud that Trump *didn't* have with Eminem. The rapper tried very hard; he was talking so much trash on stage at his shows, it made the news more than once.

Trump never took Eminem's bait, and that crystallized for me how there were many people he never referred to at all, even obliquely. Journalists only noticed Trump feuding here and there and seemingly all over the place, and never noticed that he was actually very carefully selective, leaving far more opportunities on the table than what he took. And when he did, he mostly benefited as much or than them.

The thing I liked about Amos was that they really grew that character over the run of the show.

He went from a meathead heavy to an almost well-rounded human in five seasons.

I wish they'd have ended that show better than they did, though. The last few episodes were a let-down for me.

You're not the only one. I didn't _dis_-like the show, but it's not the super-incredible be-all and end-all of television it's treated as by its fans. Everything about it is mediocre - the writing, the direction, the acting, the SFX. It's explicitly an allegory for the Reconstruction South, with the Browncoaters standing in for the CSA. Even in 2001, that was a "Really, Joss? Are you sure that's a good idea?"

The reason it's popular - the _only_ reason - is that it was the first show to really lean into the "found family" dynamic millennials obsessed over so much. And it was cancelled before its weaknesses accumulated enough to drag it down.

[That's Pretti Good right there.]

*****


Unfortunately time flies and there are whispers about certain conservative justices retiring. I nominate Judge Van Dyke to the highest court!

Judge VanDyke: "This is a case about swinging dicks."
30 members of the Ninth Circuit write to disagree.


The Ninth Circuit denied rehearing en banc in Olympus Spa v. Armstrong. Judge VanDyke wrote the lead dissent, which begins this way:

This is a case about swinging dicks. The Christian owners of Olympus Spa—a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa—understandably don't want them in their spa. Their female employees and female clients don't want them in their spa either. But Washington State insists on them. And now so does the Ninth Circuit. You may think that swinging dicks shouldn't appear in a judicial opinion. You're not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa— some as young as thirteen—to be visually assaulted by the real thing. Sometimes, it feels like the supposed adults in the room have collectively lost their minds. Woke regulators and complicit judges seem entirely willing, even eager, to ignore the consequences that their Frankenstein social experiments impose on real women and young girls.

As you could imagine, this line infuriated Judge VanDyke's colleagues.


His response to their feigned outrage is hilarious. However, I was disappointed that he didn't write he wasn't a gynecologist but knew a cvnt when he saw one.

Our world which includes our Canadian friends has gone completely nuts about the Hitler/Nazi thing. While Canadians allow government sponsored suicide, turn the blind eye to the atrocities of the Islamic faith. History be damned!!!

Although the purchase has been confirmed as legitimate, both Gale and Jouppien maintained it was merely an addition to Gale’s collection of historical artifacts and not an endorsement of the Führer. In a report from CBC, Jouppien added:

“It’s not to be taken as an insult to any anti-racist group,” Jouppien told CBC News. “It was collected in the sincere interest of history.” Jouppien added that “not many people have the resources [Gale has]” to preserve rare items and that his collection is a contribution to history.

Jouppien also claimed that Gale’s historical collection was worth millions of dollars.

If I were a rare book collector, this would be something that would interest me. And if that bothers you. I'm not sorry. There is nothing to apologize for.

Why would you have someone there to protect the public asked Karen The Mayor. Well since you won't allow concealed carry this is the next best thing.

Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe said she was “surprised and shocked” to learn a Waterloo Regional Police Service sniper was deployed as part of law enforcement’s efforts to manage an unsanctioned street party during St. Patrick’s Day weekend in the city’s university district.

Waterloo police confirmed to The Canadian Press that a photo and video circulating of a sniper monitoring the St. Patrick’s Day crowd Saturday was indeed a Waterloo police officer, but at first did not answer questions about why one was deployed.

Police later said in an email late Sunday that “mass casualty considerations” were part of the safety plan for the event.

“The magnitude of unfortunate mass casualty events that have occurred across North America and around the world in recent decades have shaped emergency response strategies for all large gatherings,” Chief Mark Crowell said in the email.

It's not like Muzzies attack infidels during any secular or religious celebrations.

The GOP’s Anti-Trans Crusade Already Forced Me to Move My Family. I’m Still Not Sure We’re Safe.
We thought our new state would be a haven after the last one turned on us. But I know the signs, and they aren’t looking good.

In May of 2020, my family moved so I could attend a clinical mental health doctorate program at the University of Iowa. I remember being so excited about the program’s LGBTQ Counseling Clinic, where I would be the assistant director and where I would get to focus on providing much-needed therapeutic care for queer folks. It was the deciding factor for me on what program I ended up attending.

At that time, I would never have predicted that the same clinic that had drawn me to Iowa would no longer exist when my family would be forced to flee the state in 2025.

At the beginning of our Iowa adventure, my kids were 9 and 12, and the plan was to stay at least until our oldest graduated from high school in 2026, if not longer. A few years into our time in the Hawkeye State, my oldest child came to us because they wanted to start on puberty blockers, since they were trans, and wanted to delay bodily changes that didn’t match their gender. When my child first came out, I was worried that because I’m a trans clinician who works in gender-affirming mental health care, others would assume my child’s choices were influenced by me. I was very careful to make sure they knew that whether to pursue gender-affirming care was entirely their own choice. The most important thing was that they knew we loved them and that we would support whatever choice they made.

“Upset about the music,” the karaoke enthusiast exited the bar, where James Emery, 27, “tried to get...Jablonski to calm down,” according to an arrest affidavit. Instead of cooling off, Jablonski pulled a Glock 9mm from his waistband and pointed it at the man, saying, “I don’t fucking care.”

Jablonski, police reported, fired one round into the air.

It was illegal for Jablonski to possess a handgun since his rap sheet includes a 2012 felony conviction (for battery on a law enforcement officer). He has also been convicted of DUI; disorderly conduct; theft; resisting an officer with violence; and violating probation.

You want bigger pay? Draw bigger crowds.

36 WNBA CBA Talks Drag Into Day 6 As Commissioner Pushes For Deal By Monday
After nearly a week of marathon negotiations in Manhattan, players say revenue sharing and housing remain the biggest sticking points as the league pushes for a deal by Monday.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but the last I heard that this rag tag band of lesbians, rainbow warriors and druggies weren't making a profit.


Maybe that's what the argument is about. The players want revenue sharing, the league wants to give them profit sharing.

Right, they want the comparison to be solely on Men versus Women's "pro b-ball". Caitlin brought in big numbers, but with this Team USA, she went 2-7 the other day from 3 point land (but that is below her average). She is a good point guard and ball handler and gets a lot of cool assists, but not that great from her patented "logo three" signature shot. Several others are better.

BUT Caitlan does draw crowds and attention, so is worth the big bucks. And she gets it in ad revenue as well. Is it racist for her fans to watch (white) her? Well maybe, but not more racist than for the black/lesbie players to trying to destroy Caitlan.

I heard that once living in the edge of Fort Worth. It wasn’t a tornado, rather straight line winds in excess of 100 mph. (One local compared it to a tornado laying on its side). If someone had been standing next to me I could have shouted as loudly as possible and they wouldn’t have heard me. The entire building, a multi unit condo, was violently vibrating.

I should have been scared, but I was too awestruck by the raw power I was seeing. Next day I was looking around and found the remains of a large billboard, mounted on 4 I-beams, which had been ripped out of the ground and tossed about 200 yards from where it started.

Revenue sharing, though, has been the biggest sticking point for months. The players union's last known proposal called for about 26% of gross revenue, while the league has offered players more than 70% of net revenue.

I can see the importance of gross vs net revenue. If WNBA players got 70% of net revenue, they'd owe the league about 30 million dollars.

214 Claims that the Cuba sitcheeation has developed to the point where the regime is going to try some half-a**ed perestroika reforms, and the US is going to require removal of specific officials (including the president, who is probably not the top dog in any case).

We'll see what happens. But a national blackout is a nice touch. Report that regime cops are positioned around a Che statue to protect it from vandalism.

For some reason I'm confident there'll be no half-measures on this one, as we're in a position to impose our will. And de facto regime change will be the starting point.

Something like 65% of Iran were under the iron fist of terrorist Islam. Venezuela was run by the drug cartels. Mexico is run by the cartels ... Russia may have more "freedom" but their men are being sent to die in war. China is tyrannical and abusive. Tyranny seems to be the norm in the world.

But "The West" in Europe still believes in freedom, or are they fully submissive to Islam, so their oligarchs can enrich themselves with cheap labor (not counting the cost of murder of social norms).

Exception is USA ... Right? Well, except for the DeepState, and Islam invasion, DEI absurdities, and infinite debt.

I wonder if The Incredibles who moved to Iowa and then fled for the sake of their trans kid are going to wind up in Albania or Ireland at some point. For fun, I've been watching TikToks of Americans who fled the fascist regime in America, and you've never seen such a bunch of dodos much less fucked-up ideologues.

Take this quiz to see if you're a world traveler!!!

Would you --

1 - Plan to take the train from the airport to your destination in another city, with 10 large suitcases? (wrong answer buzzer, they had to rent a van)

2 - Put gasoline into a rented diesel vehicle? (sputter, choke, 600 euros)

3 - Use someone else's bin to dump your trash? (local anger)

One family did all these things within, like a month of their arrival.

281 Jeremiah Curtin: This myth, which recalls the Helen of Troy tale, is extremely interesting both as regards personages and structure. [...] Hluyuk Tikimit, quivering porcupine, known here as Norwan, is the cause of the first war in the world. The porcupine in American Indian mythology is always connected with sunlight, so far as my researches go, and Norwan is connected with daylight, for she dances all day, never stops while there is light. Her title of Bastepomas, food-giving, is also significant, and would help to show that she is that warm, dancing air which we see close to the earth in fine weather, and which is requisite for plant growth.

I think the do-gooders and wannabe saviors over the years have actually made Haiti a far worse place than it would have been otherwise. They have trained the populace to expect solutions to their problems to come from outside, and they’ve given up any thought of fixing things themselves.

Yes, without outside aid there would have been one or more instances of mass death; but then the survivors would have had to pull their heads out of their asses and think seriously about how to Not Do That Again. And they would have solved their own problems.

300 Just for fun.

Grok - Jeremiah Curtin, the 19th-century folklorist and mythologist (known for works like Myths and Folk-Lore of Ireland and Creation Myths of Primitive America), does not provide a direct retelling or unique variant of Helen of Troy's classical Greek origin story (the birth from Leda's egg after Zeus's swan seduction). Instead, in his 1898 book Creation Myths of Primitive America, Curtin discusses a Native American myth from the Wintu people titled "Norwan." He explicitly compares it to the Helen of Troy tale, noting that it "recalls the Helen of Troy tale" (or "recalls forcibly the Helen of Troy tale, both in its general plan and in many particulars").In this context, Curtin uses the Helen story as a parallel or analogue rather than recounting her own origin directly. The Norwan myth involves a beautiful woman (Norwan) whose desirability sparks a massive war among the "first people," similar to how Helen's abduction/elopement with Paris triggers the Trojan War.

311 Given the benign environment and logistics (proximity), the US could definitely bridge any food gap Cuba will face if their grid is truly kaput gemacht. Assuming the regime is gone (at the top - the lower functionary ranks remaining in place would be part of the solution), and the US has full operational control.

Of course the first thing to do - after ensuring maximalist demands on regime change are met - is to go fix and fuel and the power system ourselves. Given that cracks/uppityness are appearing with just severe power problems, seems a decent bet that a dark grid and the widespread economic and social consequences would be enough to crumble the current order.

And I imagine we'd make it clear that any violence to try and cling to power will be met with decisive force by us. Our cred at removing/vaporizing adversary leadership is at a particular high at the moment.

317 Semi-Literate, the package would include US control of food distribution - via military presence. As I said above, I expect and hope there will be no messing around here. Only real, serious and permanent solutions. Regime removal is Numero Uno. May take various forms, may be phased.

In conflict-zone aid distribution, depending on circumstances, you have to be willing to eat significant % diversion to reach people in need ("cost of doing business"). I would expect and hope if the US does major short-term humanitarian aid in Cuba it does so where we have total control and boots on the ground to enforce our will.

You mean those 'Allies' with large populations of militant islamist who won't integrate into Western Civilization? 'Allies' who are enslaved to a global elites? Those 'Allies'? Yea, go piss up a rope, 'allies'. My take of NATO should be disbanded and should have been after the cold war ended is unpopular in the 5-sided nuthouse in Arlington. Thankfully I work mids and I won't be flogged for an opinion. Those that I work with don't agree with me but they won't stone me either. I sure as hell won't say that around management or Government drones.

I remember when I was in grad school a bunch of undergrads were doing the "Semester Abroad" thing in Spain.

They thought it would be cute to go to a soccer game, sit in one team's section, and cheer for the other team.

Several of them got their asses kicked, as I recall.

That tracks. When there is POS system with a faulty chip reader, and it won't let you slide the card until it demands it (after failing a couple times), I joke that it's a "socialist" card reader: whatever is not mandatory, is forbidden. In Mussolini's formulation: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

Note the socialist equivalence of "outside" with "against." Your personal economic independence is experienced by the socialist state as a mortal threat, equivalent to counterrevolutionary armed insurrection -- and they will in fact murder you for it, then celebrate their virtue.

10 Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.

The first says, “I like accountants on my operating table. When you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”

The second replies, “Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside them is colour-coded.”

The third says, “No, librarians are the best. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”

The fourth chimes in, “I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you said it would.”

The fifth surgeon shuts them all up: “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. There are only two moving parts—the mouth and the asshole—and they’re interchangeable.”

I let a friend, who has a mini-lap pool, watch my Lab once.

She would swim for like 30 minutes every morning and she said as soon as she got out of the pool, my Lab would jump in and swim for an hour. Apparently, she'd even bark non-stop if my friend tried to turn off the jets to get her out.

It is a bit strange, you get used to constant nerve pain where the absence of it takes getting used to again.

But, as I was warned, now as the spine readjusts, I do have some neuro-muscular pain below the operation site. Sometimes that increased pressure causes the need for additional surgery down the spine which is why I put it off until losing strength and dexterity.

Holy moly. This is very interesting. March 13, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the long-standing case *United States v. Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) et al.* (Case No. 1:91-cr-00355).

The entry identifies that a Department of Justice attorney, specifically from the Criminal Division, has formally entered an appearance in the multi-decade litigation. While the court docket has been dormant for many years, This is potential extremely important due to the historical role BCCI played as a primary vehicle for CIA money laundering, clandestine funding of intelligence operations, and its deep entanglement with global elites throughout the 1980s including Epstein.

135 The End Times will get another notch closer next month. Major League Baseball will use a Robo-Ump camera/image processor system to judge challenges to the flesh-and-blood plate umpire's ball and strike calls. Each team gets two challenges for a nine-inning game. Any remaining challenges going into extra-innings carry-over. PLUS each team gets one added challenge in each extra inning.

Coming sooner than later: AI sports. Computer-generated players, coaches, and refs/umpires. Talk about saving money! No salaries to be paid to players! No stadiums required! I don't know how the owners will set it up, but they will do it when it becomes possible.

163 Has the MLB "officially" defined the strike zone? Because that stupid box that started showing up on TV several years ago doesn't show a strike to be anything above the belt, which is ridiculous.

My favorite album of theirs as well. Although Permanent Waves is making a strong run at taking over.
I couldn't really appreciate that song when I was younger and listening to the album over and over. It grew on me a lot as I got older.

171 From bing:
The Persian Immortal Guard, also known as the Immortals, was the elite infantry unit of the Achaemenid Empire, established by Cyrus the Great. This unit was known for its unwavering commitment to duty, maintaining a constant strength of 10,000 soldiers through a system of immediate replacements for any fallen or incapacitated members. The Immortals were distinguished by their distinctive colorful robes, golden armor, and ornate helmets, symbolizing fertility, abundance, and royal authority. They played a crucial role in pivotal battles such as Marathon and Thermopylae, earning respect across the ancient world for their discipline and martial excellence. The Immortals embodied the idea of enduring power through discipline, responsibility, and loyalty, and their legacy continues to be honored in modern Iran as a symbol of national defense and the eternal vigilance required to protect sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Yes, for the Robo-Ump. I cant recall every detail, but the strike zone will be a plane at the front-to-back center of home plate, 17 inches wide (width of home plate), between X and Y percent of each individual player's height. I can't recall the exact X and Y values. I guess they are about whatever the current definition of the strike zone is, between the middle of the chest and top of the knees. However, each players height entered into the program will be his standing-straight height without cleats. Each player on all the 40-man rosters are being measured now, during spring training. This system has been used for several years in the minor leagues. The MLB players are not all-in for this; the owners are and that's what counts. You can get all the details if you google robo-ump.

My prayers are up for your mother, Doof.

192 Continuing on the "question" of Insurrection Barbie ...

"@grok 50m
Replying to @Cocodb2223 and @Nance726
Yes, the core facts check out via Illinois State Bar records, http://Patch.com, Daily Herald, and Northfield police reports: Irina Pavchinskaya-Cedano (aka DefiyantlyFree / Insurrection Barbie) was disbarred May 2017 after pleading guilty to felony theft (~$2k forged

idk the details of what the rest of the "theological" controversy is, but afaik, this is a legit finding about InsurrectionBarbie. Ted Cruz seemed to like her comments, for some reason, so the controversy is of interest.

The other side seems to be about whether "the Jews" (Israel?) is forever "chosen by God". Seems clear that Jesus saw the Pharisees were corrupted, so no, "Israel" is not (all) the chosen ones, while all others are not necessarily (infidels?).

But I "stand with Israel" because they stand against "Islam" (our common enemy), or at least against those not joining the "Abraham Accords". And that alliance seems based on a more "pragmatic Western Islam" than the "radical Islam".

It's all an enigma, wrapped in memes.

Mostly I side with evangelicals ... BUT, I just don't believe "Israel" was ever God's one and only "chosen people", despite the OT language. There were many times the faithful (the remnant) had to hide in caves from the corrupt ("Jewish") leaders. So even in OT times, birthright was not sufficient.

There are "end times" and some "Jerusalem" I guess, I'm not well versed on Revelation stuff, but Hebrews says "there is no more Jew nor Gentile" ... and I just can't believe it is all about bloodline, even in OT times. (JC mentions the Good Samaritan as opposed to the "Israelite" being a "friend")

But I'll keep working on the details ... there is always the Resurrection of the Just for good people, as opposed to the Resurrection of the unjust for judgment and a second death. I know where to put the rapists and murderers of good people as far as that goes.

I am looking at things with a fresh perspective and really relearning through a Church that I truly feel an amazing connection. We have been doing an entire series on Moses and I am honestly loving it, it ends next week, but I do feel this covenant exits- god doesn’t go back on his promises. But again, I am learning and relearning so much right now, I am not the expert on this at all. Our pastor breaks it down in such meaningful and understandable ways. I wish I could share the joy and the peace I am getting after each sermon with everyone, it’s been an incredible experience.

I never heard of "integralism" till today.

"Integralism... is an interpretation of Catholic social teaching that argues the principle that the Catholic faith should be the basis of public law and public policy within civil society, wherever the preponderance of Catholics within that society makes this possible."

That seems like Islam ... "when you get a majority, get off the bus/train, impose Sharia/Catholicism". It assumes One (human) Moral Authority is Correct, if it attains a majority?

USA was founded by Protestants, those that opposed One Central Leader, and were willing to let The People choose their own destiny/future. Protestants opposed a central King, Catholics accepted a central Pope, England accepted a central King.

Trump: I'm Thinking of Seizing Iran's Critical Port Island, Kharg

straitofamerica.jpg
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that
American industrial production
of sick memes was up 1700%

I'm calling this island "Dinky Greenland."

No he's not really planning on taking it for the US, although, seriously, we've kinda earned it.

But he's putting together a coalition to seize it and open the Strait of Hormuz.

Sorry, I mean the Strait of America.


President Trump is working to assemble a coalition of countries to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and hopes to announce it later this week, four sources tell Axios.

Trump is also weighing a seizure of Iran's critical oil depot on Kharg Island -- a move that would require U.S. boots on the ground -- if tankers remain bottled up in the Persian Gulf, U.S. officials say.

Why it matters: Oil and gas prices are rising as Iran's blockade of the Gulf's narrow strait drags on, choking off a significant share of the world's crude supply.

Iran is blocking Gulf countries from exporting their oil while allowing tankers picking up Iranian crude to pass freely -- keeping its own oil flowing to China and other countries.

As long as the blockade holds and Gulf oil is restricted, Trump could not end the war even if he wanted to, a source with knowledge of the situation said.

I don't believe Trump is thinking about American boots on the ground, but the leftwing foreign propaganda press will do anything, say anything to stop this president and prop up any anti-American, anti-human regime to spite Trump.


Driving the news: In a Truth Social post Saturday, Trump claimed the U.S. and several other countries will send warships to the Gulf to reopen commercial shipping, and called on China, France, Japan, South Korea and the U.K. to help.

On Sunday, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One he "demands" that NATO countries and other oil-importing nations -- including China -- help the U.S. secure the strait.

"We are talking to other countries about policing the straits. It will be nice to have other countries policing with us. We will help. We are getting a good response," Trump said.

Trump said the U.S. is in talks with seven countries and mentioned some had already declined, while stressing that the mission "will be small" because Iran has "very little firepower" left.

...

"Most of this oil isn't our oil -- it goes to other countries. So if they want it and they want the price to come down, they need to help out," the official said.

...

The intrigue: Trump is drawn to the idea of seizing Kharg Island outright because it would constitute "an economic knockout of the regime" -- essentially defunding Tehran, a third U.S. official said.

Trump answers critics: "These are naive people that frankly are stupid."

In related news, the terrorist who tried to blow up a synagogue full of Jewish children was the brother of a Hezballah terror-commander killed by the Israelis in Gaza.

Who the US let into this country, because we have a violent Fifth Column which is always recruiting new soldiers to attack us from within.


The brother of a terrorist who rammed a vehicle into a Michigan Jewish preschool was a Hezbollah commander, Israel Defense Forces have said.

Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, 41, was shot dead after driving the vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Mich., on Thursday.

His brother, Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, was responsible for managing weapons operations within a specialized branch of Hezbollah's Badr Unit, the IDF said in a statement Sunday morning.

This unit of the Lebanese terror group is responsible for launching hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians throughout the recent war with Iran, the IDF said.


Ghazali's two brothers, a niece, and a nephew were killed in an Israeli airstrike on March 5 in the town of Mashgharah, Lebanon, just days before the attack, a local official told AP Friday.

The family had sat down for their fast-breaking meal during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when they were struck.

Ghazali, who was allowed into to the US in 2011 as the spouse of a US citizen, was granted US citizenship under President Obama in 2016, according to the Department of Homeland Security.


After crashing his car, which was packed with fireworks and gasoline jugs, he exchanged fire with an armed security guard before eventually fatally shooting himself after becoming stuck in the blazing vehicle.

Meanwhile: the memes are flowing like wine.

Unrelated:

The president of "Ireland" decided to honor the holiday by... praising immigrants.

Now, the story she'll tell is that she's praising Irish emigrants into other lands.

And if you believe that, I've got a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow to sell you.

She's talking about immigrants coming to Ireland, not emigrants leaving Ireland to settle in America.


Happy St. Patrick's Day, Mohammad!

23 The only thing I don’t like about Trump’s messaging is suggesting that the Strait is closed and needs opening. It is mostly open. Iran has almost no more missiles and is reduced to farting in the general direction and throwing goat anuses at passing ships, like some Monty Python skit.

well they're trying to drive up the cost of oil by threatening the strait. they have no hope of surviving except by engineering a popular opinion crisis for trump.

The straits will have to remain open for traffic. That's a given. We're stuck with that, now.

The destruction we've wreaked already on Kharg Island might have to be repaired - if lower fuel prices in the West and a semblance of an economy for Iran are a priority. I don't think they're critical factors, though I'm not in charge, so who cares?

An American military presence on the island would be effectively permanent. It would invite attacks on US military and private sector personnel by the mainland sandmaggots. It's a flashpoint.

My inclination would be to maintain the naval presence and just menace the Island from the sea until these people do or do not get their shit together.

That naval presence is a needful thing in any event, and it can probably achieve the objective without committing troops, even in that limited area.

64 idk how much "control" of the strait the IRGC still has, but from the viewpoint that Iran is cornered and will do as much terrorism damage as possible on the way out, it seems possible they are still a threat to at least American/Jewish and allies ships.

Or maybe Trump is trying to gather a "coalition of the willing" or some such, idk. There is still some threat as seen in the insurance costs. Trump said he would have USA (or its insurers?) provide the needed insurance coverage at a reasonable rate.

A couple of things: the guy got an immigrant visa to the United States on the basis he was getting married to a US citizen, but was living alone.

So, what happened to the wife? It would not surprise me in the slightest if this was a fake marriage to get him into the US.

We also need to determine - stat - who else in the US is related to Hezbollah commanders, and have them have a little chat with the FBI indicating that they are being watched, and so they can be put into preventive detention if there are more incidents like this.

An end to nuclear threats by Iran

An end to Iran's proxy armies in other countries

Clear seas for Middle Eastern trade

An end to religious rule of Iran

A rapprochement with Israel

A rapprochement with Sunni states & minorities

Violent "protesters" attack State Troopers at an Erika Kirk event.

Three protesters were arrested Wednesday after a confrontation outside the Arkansas Governor's Mansion in Little Rock during an event featuring Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders hosted the event to promote an education initiative encouraging "Club America" chapters at high schools.

"I had the privilege of calling [Charlie Kirk] a friend and seeing firsthand the movement he built," Sanders said. "Bringing Club America chapters to Arkansas high schools will help continue that mission and inspire the next generation of leaders."

About 30 protesters gathered outside the mansion, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. Arkansas State Police said a physical altercation broke out between protesters and event attendees.

Videos posted online show the chaos escalating as protesters, bystanders, and law enforcement join the scuffle.

I forgot to post this last week: The super-lesbian judge "Speedlin Gonzales" who festoons her courtroom with gay flags -- signalling her unrepentant favoritism of one group over others -- and who was arrested for handcuffing a lawyer has lost her bid for reelection.


From Ed Driscoll: The Oscars billed itself as a "Sanctuary of Celebration," a literal bubble of mutual validation and affirmation. Vanity Fair:

This year's design--debuting exclusively with Vanity Fair--is especially unique. The theater has been designed to represent a calming garden courtyard, with greenery woven throughout it. It's an ode to this year's pointedly handmade theme--"A Human Touch"--as well as an attempt to create what feels like a relaxing space in a chaotic world.

"There is an unsettled nature around the climate right now, and there's just something very calming about being surrounded by architecture, but having this space for trees to grow," Billingsley tells Vanity Fair. "We are exploring the contrast between the organic and the rigidly architectural, and that creates the feeling that life can exist anywhere."

And beneath the veneer: Here's the reality underneath what Hollywood wants you to see:



LHGrey™️
@grey4626

Ahhh...the Dolby Theatre the morning after:

a once-hallowed coliseum of counterfeit grandeur now gutted into a rancid abattoir of shattered bottles, crumpled prestige, and the stench of three hours' worth of performative excess.

This isn't "cleanup."

This is the autopsy report on Hollywood itself...pathological, terminal, and perfectly representative of the psychic refuse that slithered through its velvet seats.

These are not artists.

They are a collective personality disorder in couture: narcissistic cluster-fucks whose grandiosity is so brittle that they cannot even contain their own waste.

Every empty champagne flute, every discarded gift bag, every sticky condom wrapper of ego left behind screams the same truth...these motherfuckers shit where they eat, then swan off to the afterparty while the invisible brown hands they pretend to champion on stage are left to mop up the evidence of their moral incontinence.

It's textbook projection pathology:

preach "diversity," "sustainability," "empathy" for the cameras, then treat the working class like disposable wet wipes for your celebrity bullshit.

Psychologically, it's exquisite in its lethality.

Decades of unchecked adulation have produced a sub-species of human whose prefrontal cortex has atrophied into pure entitlement.

They are incapable of object permanence when it comes to consequence; the mess simply ceases to exist once they exit the building.

This photo is the mirror they refuse to face...literal filth mirroring the spiritual gangrene rotting beneath the Botox and the scripted tears.

Hollywood isn't "problematic."

It's a metastatic tumor:

malignant, self-replicating, and leaving necrotic sludge in its wake for the proles to excise.

Fuck their golden statues.

Fuck their standing ovations.

Fuck their three-hour circle-jerk of self-congratulation.

This trashed mausoleum is the only honest Oscar they earned last night...the trophy of their own degeneracy, captured in high definition for anyone with eyes and a spine to see.

The immigrants they exploit will clean it. The rest of us will remember it.

And the Hollywood trash will pretend, once again, that none of it ever happened.

30 Last time France hosted the World Cup, there was a game between Japan and .... some North African country. Per usual Euro civil behavior standards, stadium seating was divided by fences into two halves (to prevent hooliganism).

After the game, clean-up crew divided into two teams, one for each half of the stands. Crew on the Japanese side had almost literally nothing to do, place was as clean as it was before the game. They mostly napped in the seats, and taunted their colleagues on the other side of the stadium, who had plenty of cleaning to do.

61 I haven't been to a movie theater since Black Panther came out and I don't remember it because I was exhausted and fell asleep in like 90sec. Lights went down, and I was gone.

The one before was Macbeth and that was shortly before Trump got elected, so at least 10 years.

But even in the heathen Communist toilet Denver, nobody left aftermath like that. At least not ten years ago.

I think if a mob left that behind at the theater in this town, someone would call the cops and demand restitution.

I think we have solved the woke right mystery….they need an audience to keep them employed and if this is the direction our country is headed, they need to be aligned. Our rewriting of history is paying off dividends for this crowd, isn’t it?

No, it was completely foreseeable. Go back 30 years ago and you could see how the constant accusations of anti-Semitism any time a conservative piped up was grating on people. There was also the Crown Heights example, and instead of addressing actual bigotry in the Dem coalition, the leaders decided to just ignore it.

Actually, they continued to support it, tolerating it and funding organizations that pushed it because it brought them needed votes. And so here we are.

My husband and I had my immigration interview at the US Consulate in Montreal, we stayed 2 days and really loved it. We went in Aug, weather was perfect, everyone spoke English, taxi drivers were crazy and plenty of shopping and friendly people.
Flying onto the Island of Montreal is exciting and the death-defying taxi ride from the airport to the hotel was a flat fee through highways being expanded and wannabee race car drivers! We wished we had planned a longer visit.

All Nine Antifa/Trantifa Terrorsts Convicted by Federal Court; This is the First Time Antifa/Trantifa Has Been Convicted of Domestic Terrorism

The terrorist attack took place on July 4, 2025. Wikipedia calls this clear domestic terror attack an "incident."

The 2025 Alvarado ICE facility incident, alternately the Prairieland ICE detention center incident, occurred at the Prairieland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, United States, on the evening of July 4, 2025. Officials say that eleven individuals, some in black clothing or body armor, set off fireworks and vandalized parked vehicles and a guard structure outside the center. A person in a nearby wooded area allegedly opened fire with a rifle after local police responded; an Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck and released from the hospital a short time later. Eleven individuals were arrested soon afterward; within the ensuing month, the alleged shooter was arrested after a manhunt, and five alleged associates were arrested.

On October 16, 2025, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed terrorism charges against two suspects, and in a social media post, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi said the two men were part of "antifa", which she characterized as a "left wing terrorist organization." Major media organizations said this is the first time the DOJ has charged anyone with terrorism in connection with alleged antifa activities, mirroring statements made by FBI director Kash Patel. In October, an eighteenth person was arrested on a state charge of aiding in the commission of terrorism.[3] In January 2026, a nineteenth person was arrested. Supporters of the defendants refer to them as the Prairieland 19.

Several defendants say they believed they were attending a peaceful "noise demonstration" and had no knowledge of any planned violence.

Sure.

Nine of the terrorists were just convicted.

In a first, nine Texas Antifa members found guilty on federal terror charges


In a historical first, nine people have been convicted by a federal jury on domestic terrorism charges connected to Antifa.

The group was accused of being a part of the North Texas Antifa Cell, and was found guilty of rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas announced Friday evening.

The group was convicted of the attempted murder of an Alvarado, Texas, police officer and correctional officers at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center occurring on July 4, 2025.

The convictions came after a 12-day trial beginning Feb. 23, which included 45 witnesses and more than 210 exhibits.

The first conviction of its kind comes six months after The Center Square asked President Donald Trump if he would designate Antifa a domestic terror organization following the rise of left-wing political violence. In response, the president officially designated the group a terror organization a week later.

Several Antifa cells in Europe have since been designated foreign terror organizations.

69 To do this after January 6th. This is straight up setting up a situation where so many Americans are going to die.

has always been the plan. a bloodbath is how they can take control. they already tried it in Minnesota.

“Accused of being part of Antifa” That’s all anyone can ever say, cause Antifa isn’t a really organization.

Guilty of being against fascism?  Aren't we all?!  That's an odd thing to accuse someone of unless you are a fascist.  ...but Antifa doesn't exist... so I am very confused.

Wearing black clothing, using signal app, turning off your phones tracking, bringing weapons to a protest but leaving them in your car. This is all it took to "prove" that it was a coordinated attack by terrorists.

Just for reference, your first sentence is what a lot of people do for protests these days. A lot of protest organizers actually recommend you do these things as it makes it harder to identify you in the increased surveillance state we live in.

Branding matters. I don't know who decided shortening "anti-fascist" to "antifa" was a good idea, but they absolutely rat fucked things by doing it.

Well, they say Ashurbanipal used to go on picnics with his wife, where their enemies' heads were hanging on fruit trees.

Jewish tradition rightly has little good to say of Babylon, but Nabukadrezzar II was a softie compared to the sadists running the ex-kingdom to their north.

Meaning...There was one shooter, but a whole bunch of people who participated in the set up of the shooting.

So, all of them got charged with attempted murder, not just the shooter.

And this is where I hope I am wrong, but only the shooter got convicted of attempted murder. His co-conspirators got convicted on basically aiding and abetting, but were found not guilty of attempted murder.

158 All of the commie rags are hyperventilating that this it a dire assault on free speech.

See, to read their screeds, it was just a protest.
That took place late at night.
And they all just happened to be wearing black.

Seriously, that's the sole reason they are all blaming for the conviction--that they wore black.

Not the fireworks shot at the ICE vehicles and building.
Or the vandalism to draw the officers out.
Not the ambush of the officer when he did come outside.
Not that he was shot in the neck.
Not the texts and other messages among them coordinating the whole ambush in advance.

Nope.
Just a little, innocent, harmless protest on the Fourth of July.

Earth tones? AntiFa has been doing the black thing since 1929. Because commies hate their Marxist siblings, fascists. NAZIs were the ones in earth tones. Italian fascists were also in black. Honestly, it doesn't appear all that well organized even back then.

#OscarsSoWoke

Before that: Actor Jerry O'Connell said his wife and daughters became physically violent when he said that the Democrats should have had a primary rather than coronate sure-loser Kamala Harris.

He wasn't even saying he supported Trump. He was a bitter Democrat angry that the party had shot itself in the foot.

And for this, his wife and daughters began cursing him and became physical.

The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@VigilantFox

Jerry O'Connell reveals his liberal daughters were "filled with RAGE" and "became PHYSICAL" with him when he criticized Kamala Harris as a candidate.

O'CONNELL: "If I say this, will I stay married? Blow it over here."

MAHER: "Sounds like you're going to blow it over here."

O'CONNELL: "The night of the [2024] election... I was watching late at night, the returns, and I'll be honest with you, I didn't think Trump was going to win. I live in California. I didn't think he was going to win from what I was hearing."

"I said something along the lines of, like, 'There was no planning.' 'This is what they get.' 'There should have been a primary.'"

"I said something along those lines. I was just spitballing ideas as to--it was a shock, you know?"

"My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage."

"So if I am being careful with you in how I say things... I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they'd become very angry with me, you know?"

Once O'Connell said this, Maher saw a man who had completely lost control of his household.

He bluntly told him that living in fear of your own family's reactions is no way to live:

"I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but I couldn't live that way... I say what I truly think. And if it makes you angry, I'm sorry, we'll have to work that out."

"I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs and just shut the f*ck up."

On to the Oscars. Conan O'Brien announced the Oscars would be political, and cracked a joke about TPUSA in telling conservatives to watch "the Alternative Oscars."

Is that really a joke that Hollywood clowns should be making?


So much woke.

Jane Fonda talking to the ultragay "reporter" who asks nothing but political questions and about how gay movies are.

It's worth remembering that the Oscars are literally the DEI Oscars, as any film nominated for an award must satisfy a laundry list of DEI requirements.

That's not a distinction I made.

I don't know what other people treasure, what the masses are looking up again after years of being released.

I just know that the Academy has never been about that. Ever. From the beginning, it was about controlling the direction of the industry.

And it made sense when that direction was actually aligned with making money. Now...control of the Oscars is control of...the Oscars. The studios spend much more money on slop for the masses that they don't think will ever win awards. Because the industry has essentially bifurcated in that regard.

Same with podcasters who think they know everything in the Situation Room! Tucker, Carlson, Kelly, and that hideous Fuentes fag.

The woman I argued with on another blog two days ago must be in quite the snit as she's vanished and raking her dirt and leaves and saving bugs. And I was nice as I can debate nice and Southern. It was not like I called her names or got mean.

I reckon she felt she could go against the wind and state her nonsense of the two fuel planes sadly crashing in mid air. Her "sources" said Cent Com is lying and a missile shot the plane down. I said otherwise and that no one knows, but I doubted the Sec of War and our President would lie to us.

150 Okay that was extremely weird but welcome. At around 2PM CDT, all my chip maker stocks jumped up enough to hit my way-out-of-the-money sell points. Then in the next 15 minutes they plunged back down below where the were at the start, hitting my OOTM buy points and then went back up to within the curve of previous trading.

I'm back were I was with extra money in the bank. I usually get burned on this kind of stuff but what do I say? Not today, Death.

My wife happens to agree with me about most political stuff, to the extent she even cares, which isn't much.

But she knows I don't care if she disagrees with me and I won't be changing my mind, and I won't tolerate anyone getting physical about anything, let alone some sorry ass dispute over DC mutants.

This guy needs to go and get a really good codpiece, and start watching Cobra daily, and trying to pass as a man. No, he'll never impale Brian Thompson on a giant hook and throw him in a furnace to burn alive, but maybe he'll make a worthy foe for a pickle jar someday.

She was quite hot with a rocking body a few years ago. But the last few years haven't been kind. She looks more masculine now, almost a tranny, and is so painfully thin she looks anorexic.

I don't remember the last movie I saw her in, but I was like "wtf happened to her?"

Unless she plans to work out and bulk up for the role, there's no way she'll have the imposing physicality to play Athena.

226 213 Not a single film from last night will even be a figment in the zeitgeist, with possibly the exception of Sinners.

At least in the 80 and 90's Hollywood balanced commercially successful films with art house and critical favorites.

Now they simply promote anything that will advance THE MESSAGE or OWN THE NORMIES.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at March 16, 2026 03:59 PM (XV/Pl)

Eh.

Sinners is massively derivative. It'll be as effervescent as Black Panther.

It's more a problem with our fractured, balkanized culture that individual movies don't have that cultural cache anymore.

You need to be in the zeitgeist for longer. A few weeks is an instant, half a news cycle, forgotten by a flush of new memes and things that we must all pay attention to.

Television series are probably the only thing that can have that cache anymore because they last for so long and come back year after year.

It is better to lead by example and you can bring stable logic and sense into the relationship rather than trying to reason someone out of a position that they never used reason to get there.

The predominant leftist (and Muzzie) emotion is ANGER, and that makes anyone challenging that anger doomed to failure at that moment.

You have to wear it away by erosion over time--that requires holding frame and not descending into nor feeding their anger.

The rise and fall of the trans movement is an example of emotion driven policy championed by AWFULs that is now becoming a sad clown show spiraling toward oblivion.

The DEI quota thing for Best Picture noms is frickin' hilarious. Especially since the Academy ignores the DEI requirement at the drop of a hat, when the politics and star power is lined up correctly.

Oppenheimer is the perfect example. Pasty white cast playing pasty white characters, directed/shot/edited by pasty white filmmakers, NOTHING DEI about the film at all.

308 There was a whole run through the 70s and 80s where "actors movies" won as James noted in his series I recommend you watch. They weren't great movies, they weren't memorable movies. They weren't even big money makers or buzzworthy movies. They were movies where actors could ACT and really eat up the screen.

Its like comedians of the Jonathan Winters/Andy Kaufman variety who are beloved by other comedians but generally leave ordinary people confused why they are even getting work.

Not exactly. The Vampires talk about piece and love and that crap and don't care at all about skin color. They made the lead Vampire Irish I assume to make it clear he isn't supposed to be a Klan stand in.

Note they do also have conflict with the Klan separately.

There is a also the point in it where the first of the group of main characters to get converted is also the one who is white, but I'm not sure if that is supposed to be a political message or not.

319 O'Connell's wife and daughters took his remark personally because to them, everyone R is evil and nazi. Their preferred candidate lost decisively to a nazi, therefore, they would soon live in a nazi-dominated world. Whether or not Harris participated in a primary, or not, is immaterial. Doing or saying anything but sharing their pain and anguish is condoning the nazi takeover of their neighborhood, their, city, their state, their country.

The 90s were Hollywood becoming "fake indie" before they let the indies completely take over.

If they had installed people dedicated to its destruction, the Academy couldn't have done it any better.

They rejected popularity except in certain specific cases starting in the 80s. The case study I use is Ghostbusters. Every loved it. Made a shit ton of money. Perfect for the Oscars.

But...it was the wrong kind of movie.

The book end was The Dark Knight 23 years later. Again, the wrong kind of movie was liked and had made money. The Academy couldn't allow that.

It's a very pro-life movie in its way, so it's a shock that it got Oscar nominated for Kate Hudson (she was great, but pro-life messaging, how did the Academy miss it?). Probably b/c they didn't actually watch the movie and just read the cliff notes...

He looks like it would be very safe to bully him, while at the same time, he is a rude, sarcastic twerp by nature. No one should put up with DV, and it is all too easy to picture his wife getting physically violent with him, if he had one. He likely made the right choice to remain a bachelor.

The New Ayatollah is Probably Gay and What Is Even More Disqualifying, He's Also Dead

mojtabacardboard.jpg

A week or two ago, a story ran in the Daily Mail stating that Moqtaba Khamenei had to go to a clinic to cure his impotency. He could not get his wife pregnant, the story went.

Well, there are various reasons for an inability to achieve an erection with a woman, as analrapist Dr. Tobias Funke could tell you.

Mojtaba just isn't into mish.

President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay -- and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal.

Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.

Others in the room also found it "hilarious" and joined the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official "has not stopped laughing about it for days," said one person familiar with the briefing.

The shocking claim was described to The Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House.

All three sources say the implausible-sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy agencies, rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, 56, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8.

Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Mojtaba, who earned the nickname "the power behind the robes" while serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.

The power bottom under the robes more like


The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family.

Mojtaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the same Feb. 28 airstrike that killed his father and other members of his family, has made "aggressive" sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of The Post's sources said.

US spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of Mojtaba Khamenei's alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insisted the tip is solid, with one saying it was "derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has."

...

Mojtaba's purported sexual orientation had been whispered about inside Iran since at least the May 2024 helicopter crash that killed then-President Ebrahim Raisi, Ali Khamenei's presumed favorite to be the next supreme leader, sources said.


...

Some elements of Mojtaba Khamenei's sex life have been reported before and may lend credence to the allegation.

A classified US diplomatic cable from 2008, published by WikiLeaks, described Mojtaba being treated in the UK for impotence, though that report did not identify what may have caused the condition.

The State Department file says Mojtaba married "relatively late in life" -- around age 30 -- "reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK, at Wellington and Cromwell Hospitals, London."

"Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment; after a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant," the leaked file said.


...

Homosexual conduct is illegal in Iran, though the government does allow surgical sex change operations, which some gay men reportedly are pressured into undergoing to avoid criminal penalties.

Sodomy is a capital offense in the nation of 93 million people, with some gay Iranians infamously hanged from construction cranes as a warning to others.

"In Iran, we don't have homosexuals," former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is believed to be an ally of the younger Khamenei, claimed in 2007.

Recent reports say that he's in a coma following an airstrike and has no awareness that there's a war on or that he's confined to a hospital.

Iran's new Supreme Leader is unaware of the ongoing war in the Middle East and does not know he is the Islamic Republic's new leader, according to a new report.

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, succeeded his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following his assassination on February 28.

He is reportedly in a coma at the Sina University Hospital in Tehran following an airstrike, according to a source in Tehran.

Due to his condition, he does not know of the ongoing war, the death of his family members, including his wife and son and of his own election as Supreme leader, the source said.

Mojtaba is also reportedly in intensive care and surrounded by security officials, while a large section of the hospital has been sealed off to guard Iran's Supreme Leader.

It is unclear whether Mojtaba was injured in the same air strikes which killed his 86-year-old father.

A separate source told The Sun through secret messages sent to an exiled dissident based in London: 'One or two of his legs have been cut off. His liver or stomach has also ruptured. He is apparently in a coma as well.'

Trump notes that there are reports he's dead:

I don't know why they picked this guy. I saw speculation by Tousi, which sounded like a joke, that the guy they picked as "leader" was already conveniently dead so that they couldn't kill him again. And of course to hide the real new "Supreme Leader."

Adding to the evidence that Mojtaba is dead: Iran is claiming Bibi Netanyahu is dead.

The old "I'm rubber you're dead" tactic.

38 "Mojtaba ... has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor."

Beginning when? There could be much more to this story.

Assuming it's true. This could be oppo propaganda from political opponents looking to deep-six him while he's on his deathbed (or dead).

While being outted as gay in the USA usually gets you more sex and free jars of lube, in Islamic countries being gay is considered a crime against nature. So anyone angling to get rid of this creep would want people to think he liked penis.

I think the guy is toast regardless.

The last chapter of Nicholas Irving's book tells of a night raid where they took out a camp full of jihadis. When they went in after dawn to survey the area, the men were in various states of perversion with each other at the moment of death.

It’s breathtakingly stupid. Even for this administration. What’s funny is that intelligence and the NY Post think this story is credible or relevant in anyway.

While this is hilarious, I feel like there’s a real darkness in this: like they’re gloating about his wife and children being dead.

Hegseth has also been running his mouth about how US bombardments have left Khamenei physically disfigured. I feel like they’re trying to bait him into public appearances while they hide in bunkers.

The vehicle has a range of up to 800 km and will be launched in Europe next month and in the UK in the summer. Pricing is yet to be revealed.

The Chinese carmaker has aggressively expanded in the UK and Europe with affordable EVs and plug-in hybrids as sales in the home market have come under pressure from a government crackdown on pricing competition.

BYD sales in China plunged 41 percent in February compared with the same month in 2025, marking its biggest fall in five years.

“It’s not true.”

“Of course, it’s not just they’re not the voice of the Iranian people, he’s also not the voice of the Iranian regime.”

“Because…there is technically a difference between the government side, which is their foreign minister and the president—who’s a puppet—and the actual regime.”

“These guys are under the control of the regime, but they don’t have any power, they don’t even represent people, they were just there to nod and say yes to Khamenei.”

“Now he’s gone and his son is apparently a cardboard leader at this point and their job is just to go on TV and talk nonsense.”

“It’s just completely pointless and it’s hilarious to watch.”

Even in Iran which doesn't like gay folks. But the kicker is that his Daddy thought he was intellectually challenged; his wife thought he couldn't get it up (hence the trips to London for treatment). Yup, he's as good as and maybe better than Joe. Well the impotency may have been caused because he was afraid of beavers.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 16, 2026 01:52 PM (PYyV9)


Substance abuse is known to open people up to demonic oppression. When I see addict that gives a particularly hinky vibe, I assume there's a demonic presence trying to get its hooks in. Even if he (or she) isn't intoxicated at the moment, there could be lingering impairment from brain damage, creating vulnerability to influence and suggestion. And, that is highly likely to be compounded by a state of unrepentance for things done while drunk or high (or in order to get there), since genuine repentance would mean avoiding the conditions that led to it.

As I understand it, that's the entwined triple-whammy that makes addicts so vulnerable to demons: physical impairment of the brain, in a state of unrepentance, that they can't leave as long as they want their next fix more than getting right with Man and God... which an impaired dummy has trouble caring about.

The haitian slave revolt lasted over a dozen years and it is estimated that between 100,000 and 350,000 blacks of african descent lost their lives from violence, disease, and starvation. I cannot imagine something like that happening in a place where we have free reign to fly warplanes over every square inch, but what do I know.

I heard it said that about a million of the persians are regime-adjacent. That's a lot to kill. The toll in the congo during the Second Congo War 1998-2003 was 4.5 million, again, many of the deaths from trauma other than kinetic conflict.

They need to be able to pay for their next delivery of gas. It's a very cutthroat business, since the customer is very price-sensitive, so they don't have any cushion. They need to raise prices if the next delivery is going to cost more, but they can only get away with raising prices if everyone else does too; so they all track the price of oil futures, and most survive to pump another day.

Axios "Journalist:" The White House Says That Everything Tucker Carlson Is Saying Is Bullshit

Marc Caputo
@MarcACaputo

The online chatter about @TuckerCarlson looked like quite a story: he was being spied on by the CIA & knowing that, Trump treated him as a useful idiot by feeding him disinfo that fooled the Iranians about the looming Feb. 28 attack

But top admin officials say it’s bullshit 1/2

2/2 Specifically, I'm told

1) there's no CIA investigation of Carlson

2) In his meeting, the two politely disagreed, & Trump held to his position Iran was a threat & didn't mislead him

Said one source: Trump "wasn't participating in an op."

Aww, darn. That was the best part of this.

3) an addendum for folks saying that the CIA wouldn't investigate but would only refer to DOJ (or that the NSA or another intel agency made the reference), I checked that as well

Same answer: no

That said, DOJ/FBI is getting lots of citizen requests to investigate him re FARA

Worth noting: If the CIA was reading Tucker's texts, it wouldn't be due to wiretapping his phone.

It would be due to spying on the Iranian intelligence officials Tucker was chatting up:

Rod D. Martin
@RodDMartin

3h

UPDATE ON THE TUCKER CARLSON FIASCO. So in case you missed it, Tucker announced by video that he has been informed that the CIA is reading his text messages and is preparing a criminal referral against him.

Several things have happened since.

First, you must understand: the CIA would never reveal that it had illegally wiretapped anybody, because why would they? Aside from possible punishments for guilty parties, the bigger issue is that an illegal wiretap would kill their case: "fruit of the poison tree". So if they're actually preparing a criminal referral, they've dotted their i's well enough to get past a judge.

So how does the CIA surveil an American citizen? In most cases they can't, at least not legally. So if it was legal, they probably were NOT surveilling Tucker, but rather some foreign enemy with whom he was texting: he was talking to people he shouldn't have been, about things he shouldn't have said. That's about the only way you get there from here.

A couple things have happened since:

First, Buckley Carlson (Tucker's brother) took to X to give a lengthy definition of treason and explain why whatever his brother did wasn't that.


Hmmm....

Second, both Axios and the Administration have denied any of this is true. Which is...interesting. Both might have motives to deny Tucker's story (e.g., why would the Administration confirm a possible-but-future investigation the DOJ hasn't yet initiated?).

But what if they're telling the truth? Buckley's post suggests Tucker was telling the truth, at least so far as he knew it, and the family is mounting a defense. Glenn Greenwald certainly thinks that's true. But Glenn could be wrong, and Axios could be right.

So we now have three reasonably likely possibilities:

1. Tucker Carlson violated FARA, which is particularly ironic given how many times he's publicly called for FARA investigations of various people he dislikes for unsubstantiated allegations that they were on some foreign government's payroll. No one would more richly deserve this outcome than Tucker Carlson, IF this is what happened.

2. More sinister possibility: Tucker Carlson was aiding and abetting a foreign enemy (because that's a far more likely reason for the CIA to be involved, given the above-stated limitations). In this scenario, it is very likely that Donald Trump had Tucker to the Oval Office to feed him disinformation that then magically appeared in texts with Iranian leaders.

==> Just to be clear: that would NOT fall under "journalism". That would be espionage, and Tucker would (if that's what happened) be in danger of spending the rest of his life in prison.

Would it? I don't know if you can be prosecuted for telling a foreign government non-classified/open-source/personal observation stuff. Maybe you can be.

3. More narcissistic possibility: Tucker made it all up, as Axios claims. In that case, this would mean that he made up a scary story about the Trump Administration to get clicks, cash, and standing as a victim persecuted by the "evil" Donald Trump, "bought-and-paid-for" agent of "the Jooos".

And honestly, this morning, I think most of us would lean toward Aisle 3. It's pretty much classic him.

But that obscures the magnitude of what happened this weekend. Either Tucker Carlson lied or he didn't. If he didn't, then he was likely aiding and abetting a foreign enemy in time of war, or at least committing the same kind of FARA violation he's accused his enemies of for years. And if he did, then he's just a charlatan.

Either way, Tucker Carlson blew a Titanic-sized hole in his own credibility this weekend. It seems to be an unforced error. And that's going to be very hard to overcome outside the realm of his own devotees.

Below: It almost seems irrelevant to bring up Taqiyya's past statements, as he his plainly not the same man he once was, due to the demon-scratch that caused him permanent brain damage.

But in the past, Taqiyya argued for all sorts of people to face FARA prosecutions.

Update: Taqiyya Qatarlson continues his cowardly tactic of avoiding mentioning Trump while attacking the people around Trump, so that he can continue grifting off MAGA.

Below, he says "elected officials" are acting as agents of Israel.

But none of the people he names are elected. They're appointed. Appointed by Trump.

Trump is the "elected official acting as an agent of Israel," in Qatarlson's argument, but he remains too cowardly to say that.

So he pretends the voters got together to elect Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.

27 Oil loading operations at the major oil bunkering hub had been suspended as a result of the drone attack, Reuters reported.

The attack comes after a separate drone strike and fire at Fujairah on Saturday, underlining the vulnerability of the UAE’s only export route that bypasses the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

Shipping traffic through one of the world’s most important energy choke points has virtually ground to a halt since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran has retaliated by targeting ships trying to pass through the maritime corridor, with several incidents reported in recent days.
Fujairah sits at the end of the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), or the Habshan–Fujairah oil pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.

Spanning around 248 miles from onshore oil facilities at Habshan to Fujairah, the pipeline is estimated to handle 1.5 million barrels per day, with a reported total capacity of close to 1.8 million barrels per day.

41 On the contrary, it was the fact that he continued cashing that regular paycheck from Fox well after we all knew what they were, but as some kind of crusading truth teller, that informed what he was.

Whatever it was you knew he wasn't a truth teller. Because that person would never have continued working for FNC. I said it at the time to invariably mixed reception.

Tucker felt that, regardless of what Trump actually said in their meetings, he had persuaded the President that attacking Iran was a bad idea. And he communicated that, with the end result that their entire leadership was wiped out in an intelligence 'own goal'.

No one would have known if he'd kept his mouth shut.

But then not only revealed that, thought such reveal would cast him as a "good" guy.

Say, remember when CNN admitted they covered up for Saddam for "insider access?"

72 One theory .that might have some merit: Tucker just lost his mind after he got fired by Fox. Losing your job as a middle-aged guy can be traumatic... he just snapped and he's still lost…

——-

I circle you back to my theory that Tucker has always been a kook, it was just well contained between the beacons at Fox, so when the opportunity arose to boot him, it was taken. Again, corporations do not exit money makers stage left for failures of low magnitude that would blow over as soon as the next scandal came down the leftist pike. I am guessing he was becoming more and more of a liability - now that he no longer has those gatekeepers, we are seeing it for ourselves. Which is sad, but the truth is probably that the Great Tucker we thought we knew was just an illusion.

If he disclosed non-public information from that discussion to his alleged paymasters or any other foreign entity, he's in violation of the Espionage Act.

Information doesn't need to be "classified" in order for unauthorized disclosure of that information to a foreign actor to be harmful to the interests of the United States.

Maybe, maybe not. But given how he's currently acting, it's less conspiracy and more pattern-matching.

139 FWIW, NSA would be doing these intercepts of Iranian leaders comms in any case, not to trap Tucker, but to ensure that orders to western sleeper cells, comms to Iranian voice puppets like the NIAC, and any other useful intel as to their leadership, policies, and war destruction analysis would end up in US policymakers' hands.

Figuring you can communicate with foreign assholes via comms and be protected in doing so is a fool's game. And as we have seen, all the US comms are intercepted too and just a fig leaf (FISA warrants) away from being revealed. Sometimes not even that regarding 3rd party doctrine information.

183 I think CandAss Owens always was a grifter. Always. She saw a market for an attractive black female conservative, and she seized and pounced. Later, as the smell of money moved elsewhere, she followed it. She has no principles that aren't on sale to the highest bidder.

She seems to enjoy ranting about Jews, so I assume her natural inclination is anti-Semitism. But if she was offered enough money, she'd pretend to be a great friend to Jews.

Tucker is similar, but I really do think he's just not right in the head. Something happened. He was always a bit of a grifter, but he wasn't always this batshit insane. Something happened, IMO.

Pet peeve: being annoyed by someone doesn't mean they're a grifter. "Grifter" has turned into "fascist" or "racist" where it's just "someone I don't like", which is annoying.

In the case of people doing crap for money, fame, and power, grifter is the appropriate term. As they believe in nothing themselves (and Tucker's media career indicates that), they follow the path that gets them that--facts and reality be damned.

That is a low grade con artist--thus grifter because what they are doing is legal, but unethical.

No.

A grifter is a con artist.

Tucker Carlson has been running con jobs on his audience since he was a liberal Republican on CNN, then a neocon war cheerleader, then an anti-war Trump populist, then a pro-Iran Jew hater.

He believes nothing, and spent his career running one scam after another. Megyn Kelly is very similar.

They are grifters.

I don't call Hannity a grifter, for instance. He's a completely consistent retard.

Taqiyya Qatarlson: The CIA Is Preparing a Criminal Referral Against Me Just Because I Was Acting as a Foreign Agent for Iran

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? Because I gotta plead ignorance on this thing. Because if anyone had said something to me that that kind of thing was frowned upon...

Last week I saw Taqiyya Qatarlson stating that if Trump negotiated with Iran just to lull them into a false sense of calm while he prepared to strike them, this would constitute a "sneak attack" every bit as terrible as the Pearl Harbor attack and furthermore, any official taking part in this -- including Trump -- should be and "punished right away." In other words, prosecuted.

This was a bizarre and unhinged claim from Taqiyya Qatarlson, even by his standards. I wondered what had happened to provoke him into claiming that Trump is now a Pearl Harbor sneak-attack war criminal and needs to be prosecuted and imprisoned.

And... so now we know why. Qatarlson found out that Trump was using him as a "useful idiot," leaking assurances to him that we would never attack Iran so that Taqiyya would duly report this to his spymasters in Iran.

And he got pissed about being used as an unwitting double-agent against the country he is loyal to, Iran.

tuckercarlsonframeforacrime.jpg

Can he actually be prosecuted? I don't know. I doubt he would be prosecuted under the Espionage Act, which is about obtaining and transmitting officially-classified information to a third party. I don't doubt that Taqiyya would pass sensitive information to Iran or Hamas, I just don't think it was classified, because what Qataralson was being told was meant to be reported to Iran. They wouldn't want to restrain him from passing the disinformation to its intended targets in Iran.


He mentions being prosecuted as a "foreign agent," which I assume refers to acting as a agent of a foreign power without registering under the FARA Act.

However, I doubt he's guilty of a FARA violation, either.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), enacted in 1938, requires individuals or entities acting as agents of foreign principals (governments, parties, or individuals) to register with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
. It mandates public disclosure of their activities, finances, and relationship to promote transparency regarding foreign influence in U.S. public policy and opinion.
Key Aspects of FARA:

Who Must Register: Agents engaging in political activity, public relations, lobbying, or soliciting funds for a foreign principal within the U.S..
Registration Process: Must register with the DOJ within 10 days of agreeing to act as an agent, providing details on their relationship and activities.
Reporting Requirements: Registered agents must file periodic supplemental reports, including detailed reports on income and expenditures in support of their activities.
Exemptions: Key exemptions exist, including those registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, journalists, and individuals engaging in private, non-political commercial activities.
Enforcement & Penalties: Enforced by the DOJ's FARA Unit, violations can lead to criminal charges if willful, or civil actions, including potential fines and public disclosure requirements.

Being an "agent" would require him to have actually agreed to be an agent, or to have taken money to act on behalf of Iran. You can't just be prosecuted under FARA because you sympathize with dirty foreign communists and Islamists, as Taqiyya Qatarlson so clearly does. So I don't think he can be prosecuted here, either.

Is Taqiyya lying about being a criminal target, just for clicks and sympathy? Very possibly! He is an inveterate liar.

And his ally Cavernous Nostrils is literally threatening violence against Trump's government if they "come for Tucker:"

tuckercarlsoninsurrection.jpg

There may indeed be an inquiry, and I think rightly so. If you are talking to the intelligence/terrorist services of a hostile foreign power and transmitting to them sensitive (though not actually classified) information, yeah, you're damn right someone should take a little look-see to find out if you're guilty of espionage or just guilty of being a terrorist-humping scumbag.

Now, I do think he's a dirty spy. But some spying isn't illegal. Yes, a spy who passes classified information can be prosecuted. But a spy who owns a house in the flight path of a US military base cannot, I don't think, be prosecuted for noting what types of planes are taking off and when, and then sending off that information to his case officer. That's open information, which anyone with eyes can see, and I think that a spy doing that would be non-prosecutable. (Though, if a foreigner permitted to be in the US, his visa would be revoked and he would be declared persona non grata.)

I think Tucker Carlson is a spy in this second sense -- he is acting as the eyes and ears of a hostile foreign power, he is reporting to that hostile foreign power what the president of the United States said to him, but that information was not classified and therefore there is no actual crime in reporting it to Iranian intelligence officials. (Especially because Trump intended it to be reported.)

But it does make him treasonous. Not a traitor by the legal definition, but treasonous in the dictionary sense, acting on behalf of an enemy foreign power against the interests of the US.

And now this fat piece of shit is butthurt because he was a key asset in convincing the Iranians that it was safe to hold a meeting with 90% of the top military and mullah leadership present in the same room a couple of weeks ago.

Tucker Carlson: Hero of Israel! I hope Mossad makes it official and decorates him with an award for his crucial work in this operation!

One thing: For a long time, I hoped that J.D. Vance was really not on Team Qatarlson but had been assigned the role of "Tucker Whisperer," and was just loyally executing the orders of his President.

But then Vance got more and more forward leaning with his "these are important discussions we need to have" defenses of Qatarlson and I abandoned that hope, and wrote him off as someone I would consider ever voting for.

This new information certainly revives the possibility that JD Vance was acting as the spymaster for an unwitting, stupid, bumbling, narcissistic double agent. I hope that turns out to have been the case all along.

And I do hope that Cavernous Nostrils "rides at dawn" and leads a violent insurrection.

Bring it on, Cavernous.

Come to think of it... Qatarlson and his various foreign agent allies are constantly talking about Jonathan Pollard, a Jewish American who spied for Israel, talking about how perfidious Israel (and American Jews) are.

Is he really now going to claim that no one should even look into his communications with Iranian intelligence?

Why, exactly? Because he's not a Jew?

21 Tucker Carlson says that if the U.S. lulled Iran into a false sense of security before attacking, it would be as bad as Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor - and anyone who participated “needs to be punished right away.”

The number of fake war rules that people come up with amazes me.

22 Last week I saw Taqiyya Qatarlson stating that if Trump negotiated with Iran just to lull them into a false sense of calm while he prepared to strike them, this would constitute a "sneak attack" every bit as terrible as the Pearl Harbor attack and furthermore, any official taking part in this -- including Trump -- should be and "punished right away."

I confess that I am not a world renowned historian but I don't recall the US declaring war on Japan in... checks notes... 1894.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at March 16, 2026 12:36 PM (ExV1e)

23 "I don't doubt that Taqiyya would pass sensitive information to Iran or Hamas, I just don't think it was classified, because what Qataralson was being told was meant to be reported to Iran. They wouldn't want to restrain him from passing the disinformation to its intended targets in Iran."
____

Hmmm. I'm not sure if misinformation could still be classified. Maybe. Or if it's still illegal to pass classified info to foreign enemies, even if the government expects you will pass the info alone.

So ... if the information given to Fucker was classified and he passed it to enemies in Iran, he could still be guilty even if it was false info and he was expected to pass it. Maybe.

Arizona man who admitted to crucifying pastor asks for death penalty so 'we can move on with our lives'

Sheafe, 51, is accused of murdering William Schonemann, the pastor of New River Bible Chapel, in April 2025 before mutilating the man's body. Schonemann was found dead with his arms spread out in his bed and his hands pinned to a wall, authorities said.
. . .
Sheafe told Fox 10 last year that the murder of Schonemann, 76, was part of a plot targeting more than a dozen Christian leaders across the country in a mission he called "Operation First Commandment."
He has claimed that Schonemann and other Christian pastors were leading followers onto a false path. The defendant’s father, Chris Sheafe, told the Arizona Family that his son had become obsessed with the Bible and has a large tattoo of a Hebrew word for God on his neck.

130 Awww is someone now being targeted by the administration they helped create? ☹️😢 "The Face-Eating Leopards weren't supposed to eat ME!"

Tucker has been adamantly calling out the foreign influence of Mossad / Israel on American politicians (AIPAC) over the past month. Jokes on him, the foreign agents in charge of our administration and Congress don't like being called out.

Tucker doesn’t care about Gaza, he calls out Israel because he is a rabid anti-Semite, Christian nationalist and white supremacist. Broken clocks occasionally right and all, but he is absolutely not a good person.

Meanwhile, the real foreign agents are anyone aligned with aipac. JFK wanted to list the precursor to aipac as a foreign agent (he was killed before he could). Also, as much as I loathe Tucker, if T imprisons him for essentially free speech, it'll be like Navalny.

Tucker really is a Russian asset and a serious threat to our national security. He's someone I would encourage tue CIA to watch like a hawk.

So is the president and most members of congress, heck people like Obama's chief of staff even went to serve in the IDF after 9/11 instead of here.

I think any info can be classified, even false info or info that may have been true at the time but later turned out to be false. I don't know exactly what information Fucker was given, so it's hard to judge.

Same thing with giving him info knowing it will be passed. Kinda like a sting operation. If an undercover offers stolen goods or drugs to a buyer, and the buyer buys, it's still a crime even those the undercover expected the buyer to buy.

Do I think anything will happen? No. It's possible tha Fucker is making he whole thing up for attention.

I don't think so, because Vance was saying and doing questionable things outside of Cucker's involvement. His constant excuses for the woke reich "influencers" for example.

Talking point two was how come the Strait wasn't completely protected. It's almost like war is unpredictable.

Insurance companies are yuge companies with piles of money selling a product that is nearly identical to their competitors'. They can't compete on product, so they have to compete on getting eyeballs through ads.

The fact she is being torn to shreds by kooks in every corner, both known and unknown and learning in real time no one is really trustworthy, it’s all a viper pit? My guess is Charlie protected her from that fact. Help me to understand what exactly the right protocol is under such circumstances, because my Emily Post does not have a section on this. Charlie Kirk’s are not a dime a dozen, no one will fill his shoes. And do not ever underestimate how catty some women are when the one in front of them is prettier.

A lot of people are reflexively white-knighting Erika because her husband was generally agreed upon as a huge asset to our side.

The fact is they don't know shit about her other than she was married to Charlie, and now she's the head of TPUSA evidently on Charlie's wishes.

They're also defensive of her because of the idiots "on the right" attacking her like Cavernous Nostrils. One can have never seen, heard, or read Candy O or anyone like her, independently observe Erika Kirk's public persona in the wake of Charlie's death, and come to the independent conclusion that her public persona is off-putting. Carrying on the legacy of your assassinated husband is one thing. Giving your kids to other people to watch while you go on the talk show circuit while his body is still warm rubs me the wrong way. Deal with it.

No, you are inferring that. It doesn't imply anything other than someone who goes to war against the USA is guilty of treason.

Seriously, what would "war against the USA" by a single person look like? How would that be distinct from just protest, or crime? Does he drive a tank into a base and start shooting it? What does this one-man war consist of? Its irrational.

381 The treason statute is oddly worded but generally prohibits two separate things:

1. "levies war against [the United States]" (ie., goes to war against the USA, whatever that means)

OR

2. "adheres to [United States] enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere"

The statue doesn't require a formal declaration of war, although it would be easier to determine who the "enemies" are if there was such a declaration.

I think it comes down to what "enemy" means. It cannot just be people who don't like the USA, for instance. I would argue that it has a very specific meaning as suggested in the first clause: enemies we are at war with.

If you’re noticing Tucker Carlson being attacked from literally every direction of the political machine. ⁹
It’s because they are terrified of him running for president.
Because he would win and they know it.
And that’s why I’m deeply concerned for my friend Tucker Carlson and his family.
These people are vicious and evil and will attempt to destroy anyone and everyone that reveals the truth.

OK, but don't be surprised if no rules has some unpleasant outcomes here at home.

=====

More than 80% of the oil that flows out of the Strait goes to China and India.

Every barrel can move in different ways. UAE has a pipeline that normally does 800,000 barrels a day and is now doing 7,000,000 per day. Traffic has been redirected around Saudi Arabia to avoid the Persian Gulf altogether.

And the current prices are making operations extremely profitable for American shale oil, which will ramp up production and drive prices down.

Also, Qatar's promised $150 a barrel is dead. I can't seem to get past $100 now except on weekend trading.

469 The way people are talking about the Strait, it's like 50% of all worldwide oil comes out of it and there's no infrastructure to move it any other way.

Which is all false.

It might be 20%, the vast majority goes to China (imagine China suddenly needing to buy American shale oil just to keep the lights on), and there are pipelines all over the ME because...everyone in the ME hates Iran and have been building contingencies for decades.

Money Center Banks that Pushed the Tricolor Securities Fraud Are Being Sued by the Investors That Were Defrauded

Tricolor JPM Barclays FifthThird.png

Investors who bought now-worthless securities supported by the auto loans of Tricolor Holdings are suing the investment banks that issued them. JPMorgan, Barclay’s, and Fifth Third Bank promoted these securities as being “investment grade” even though their source of repayment was auto loans issued to non-citizens with no credit. Now those money center banks are being sued for their complicity in a spectacular fraud.

First, here’s a background summary on the Tricolor story, which I have written about several times, most recently this piece from last October, “Tricolor Auto Failure Follow-up: JPMorgan Takes a $170 Million Hit; Trump Disbands the Government’s DEI Agency that Was Involved

• Tricolor was a company that sold and financed used cars, and its primary market was Spanish-speaking non-citizens illegally residing in the U.S.

• 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 had securitized about $2 billion of Tricolor’s very high risk loans. These securities were much like the bundled, sub-prime mortgages from the 2008 financial crisis.

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

• JPMorgan and Fifth Third Bank also had outstanding lines of credit to Tricolor. They each took a massive loss of about $200 million from the default on their lines of credit.

• 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 an “underserved community.”

While all parties involved deserve ridicule for thinking that a pool of lower-than-subprime loans could make a high-quality security, the lawsuit doesn’t just allege that the big banks were pushing a junk product, the allegation is that there was willful blindness to the fraud that was occurring. Further, with the fraud in plain sight, the banks continued to earn underwriting fees for promoting these fraudulent securities.

“Tricolor Noteholders Sue JPMorgan, Barclays and Fifth Third” [Bloomberg - 02/27/2026]

In their suit, the noteholders claim the banks ignored “clear evidence” of fraud, including “alarming” 2022 and 2024 audits of the company, because they were earning millions of dollars in fees underwriting Tricolor’s securitized notes.

The CPA audits of Tricolor indicated waving red flags, including:

• Nearly half of payments received on a given day were posted to the wrong account.

• Defaulted loan accounts showed financial recoveries from repossessions, even though the subject cars were not actually repossessed.

• Loan delinquencies were inaccurately reported and re-aged so as to show those loans not being in default.

The plaintiffs accordingly allege that:

• JPMorgan, Barclay’s, and Fifth Third “responded by hiding what they had learned and sticking their heads in the sand to avoid learning more.”

• JPMorgan, Barclay’s, and Fifth Third withheld or misrepresented adverse information in offering materials for investors. Per the plaintiffs’ suit, “Defendants fueled and perpetuated Tricolor’s Ponzi-like fraud.”

When the Tricolor fraud blew wide open, JPMorgan’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, was quoted as saying ”It is not our finest moment. When something like that happens, you can assume that we scour every issue, every universe, everything about how it could be taking place to make sure it doesn’t take place from here. You can never completely avoid these things, but the discipline is to look at it in cold light and go through every single little thing, which you can imagine we’ve already done.”

Dimon added, ”When you see one cockroach, there are probably more.” To repeat what I said back in October, If there are more “cockroach loans” like Tricolor that are about to blow up, it is not an economic indicator, rather it is a sign that banks and investment houses abandoned their underwriting standards in pursuit of woke cred.

I’d also argue that it’s not fair for Dimon to blame employees whose “discipline” was lax. While this is only my opinion, I will state with a high level of confidence that plenty of lower-level analysts and underwriters at JPMorgan knew just how uncreditworthy Tricolor was, but senior management pressure for Community Reinvestment Act credits, woke bragging rights, government favor, etc., compelled every layer of credit approver to recommend approval for a lending facility that objectively should have been rejected.

Mr. Dimon stated that he was going to look at the Tricolor debacle “in cold light and go through every single little thing.” I hope he did. And if he has not yet uncovered why the underwriting and approval chain felt they could not decline the Tricolor facilities, then the light is clearly not cold enough.

As the lawsuit by defrauded investors moves forward, the question I’m most interested in isn’t “Who knew how bad Tricolor was, and when?” Instead, the question I have is why did otherwise intelligent bankers think they had no choice but to consent to promoting Tricolor as a good credit risk when the fraud and lack of creditworthiness were so evident.

Buck, you are being kind. These securities were much worse than the sub-prime mortgages, which were at least backed up by real estate (inflated, but they still existed).

A used car's value drops by the day, and my guess is that a fair number of these cars were simply abandoned, towed, and then auctioned for a tiny fraction of their value.

13 As the lawsuit by defrauded investors moves forward, the question I’m most interested in isn’t “Who knew how bad Tricolor was, and when?” Instead, the question I have is why did otherwise intelligent bankers think they had no choice but to consent to promoting Tricolor as a good credit risk when the fraud and lack of creditworthiness were so evident.

For the same reason many investment bankers didn't blow the whistle on subprime mortgages in the early '00s. They got their marching orders from a government that knew precisely nothing about investment banking. See also, EVs and automakers.

54 This racket was always a game of hot potato. All the banks and investment firms -- including almost surely, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit -- knew the loans were very risky if not certain to fail. It was only a matter of when.

But there are potentially nice fat profits to be made on bad loans -- so long as you ain't the last guy holding the hot potato when the music stops. The plaintiffs in this case bet they wouldn't be the last ones, that they would take the profits and unload the dogshit on someone else. They lost that bet.

136 Why Republicans never seem to counter this crap by informing the public of this method of voting to counteract this nonissue is beyond my comprehension?!

The simplest approach:

The Democrats have argued every single vote protection measure proposed or passed since 2000 will disenfranchise millions of voters. Since then *0*....ZERO...have been disenfranchised. That's right, its a proven fact not a single eligible voter has lost the right to vote.

So it makes no sense why they would oppose simple ID here, like you need to get on a plane, or to drive, or to get into a government building...until you consider how they stole the 2020 election.

137 A statewide redistricting proposal is on the ballot for a special April 21 election that, if passed, could turn Virginia’s ruby-red 6th Congressional District bright blue.

"Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”

To all those smugly doubting if it's temporary: It's literally written into the text that typical Virginia districting standards are resumed after the 2030 census. Please learn how your state's legal system operates.

Maybe republicans will consider a gerrymander ban nationwide now with all the bitching and moaning ive seen from them in this sub

198 How much of this can be explained by their attitude that the loans were really just an excuse to bill a lot of people who more likely than not would have been paying and paying for many years because they did not have good understanding of system?

Like the prison phone scams where they charge prisoners $1 a minute for local calls. They do it because they can. The costs or accounting are immaterial -- just keep sending bills to people who have no choice but to keep paying.

It checks all the boxes, vulnerable client base, perpetual payments, lots of fees and penalties, they are subsidized by government welfare, and it's "social justice."

I wonder if anyone is reporting on it from that angle. These are the attributes that the financiers love. Who cares about things like accounting, just send the sucker another bill and he will pay, he has no choice.

I have known people in this situation - they are overwhelmed by their bills and just pay and pay. Many are stupid, but I think many just lose hope. This is vulture capitalism at its finest and Biden *encouraged* it by calling it "Social Bonds."

267 Susie Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person, and one of the strongest people I know but, unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, and has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting. She has a fantastic medical team, and her prognosis is excellent! During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me, as President, very happy! Her Strength and her Commitment to continue doing the job she loves, and does so well, while undergoing treatment, tells you everything you need to know about her. Susie, as one of my closest and most important advisors, is tough and deeply committed to serving the American People. She will soon be better than ever! Melania and I are with her in every way, and we look forward to working with Susie on the many big and wonderful things that are happening for the benefit of our Country! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The reason I brought it up is because I think that was a big driver for the replacement - the new clients are very easy to exploit and certain businesses like that. And subsidized by gov., and it's social justice. The uber think you talk about is a good example. Same with crap food sold by stores, or the relentless costs if you get arrested.

276 I assume these car loans were mostly for "buy here, pay here" places.

Having been in the car business myself, the way this works is a dealer will sell a car they bought for $3000 for $8000. The dealer will take $4000 in cash, and finance the rest at maximum legal rates.

The dealer already covered the cost of the car in cash, plus a little profit, so the loan is just gravy. When the borrower inevitably defaults, the car is repoed and sold again.

What Tricolor seems to have done is taken all these loans and repackage and sold them to banks, who then sold them as investment vehicles. Insanely risky.

There is good and bad debt.

If you borrow to buy a car to just get you to a job, that's probably good debt.

If you buy more car then you need to just get to work and you finance it that is likely bad debt.

318 This is like the sub-prime mortgage fiasco back in '07 - '08. Everybody knew the banks made bad loans to unqualified buyers then bundled them to investors. Nobody asked why the banks knowingly made risky loans that brought the house down. Nobody remembered reading about the banks being accused all the way back in the early 90's by Bill Clinton and other Dems of 'redlining' certain high risk neighborhoods because they were neighborhoods of 'color'. Nobody remembered the Senate Banking committee - looking at Barney Frank, Shrillary and the JEF pressuring the banks to make these loans or risk losing their federal charter. It was another example of government wasting our tax dollars to address a problem THEY created!

340 There are a lot of voices calling out that Private Equity funds as an industry is balls deep in really bad investments and pulling the same shenanigans that Tricolor has been doing. Since PE is really deep in housing, commercial real estate and marginal companies, the chances are that a Bear Stearns moment is coming and will pull everything they have on the table down as they drag the tablecloth off trying to stay solvent.

343 I ordered a pair of pants from Amazon...shipped with USPS

On the day it was supposed to arrive...when I was home...I got a message it wasn't delivered because of animal interference.

I don't have any pets and again I was home all day. So I asked my regular mail guy and he told me someone else handles amazon stuff - call the office. Three calls of phone tag later where they kept saying they couldn't find my pants they just...show up in my mail box one day.

Was the alternative guy going to take them until his boss got on him? Where they buried in his truck and he found them later? Who knows...

353 If the victimw had been an imam, we'd never hear the end of it but he was a pastor so this is the first I'm hearing about it.

Arizona man who admitted to crucifying pastor asks for death penalty so 'we can move on with our lives'
. . .
Sheafe, 51, is accused of murdering William Schonemann, the pastor of New River Bible Chapel, in April 2025 before mutilating the man's body. Schonemann was found dead with his arms spread out in his bed and his hands pinned to a wall, authorities said.
. . .
Sheafe told Fox 10 last year that the murder of Schonemann, 76, was part of a plot targeting more than a dozen Christian leaders across the country in a mission he called "Operation First Commandment."
He has claimed that Schonemann and other Christian pastors were leading followers onto a false path. The defendant’s father, Chris Sheafe, told the Arizona Family that his son had become obsessed with the Bible and has a large tattoo of a Hebrew word for God on his neck.

"Adam became extremely interested in the Old Testament. He read it extensively. And part of that process became his interest. We weren’t excited when we’d learned that he’d done it, but to have the tattoo," his father said.
