Mickey Kaus: Now that illegals are being deported, wages are going up, and rents are coming down.

Mickey Kaus
@kausmickey

17h

"Leisure and hospitality" Biden '24 = down 0.81%; Trump '25 = up 1.13%.
"Grocery & convenience" Biden '24 = down 0.17 %; Trump '25 = up 1.05 %
"Landscaping services" Biden = up 1.42 %; Trump '25 = up 2.41 %
"Retail" [big category] Biden '24 = down .15 %; Trump '25 = up 1.32 %

Some categories went down and "construction" only went up a bit (+1.65 percent to +1.71 percent). Still. Overall seems evidence that illegal workers do bid down wages and when they leave wages rise.

Do we still need housing Abundance in Los Angeles if illegal immigrants leave? I assume yes, but am having doubts! Walked up the block--three "For Lease" signs, and at the end of the block is a big new apartment house with vacancies.

Murders are also down, he points out. "What a nightmare," he comments.

Pramila Jayapal, Congresswoman for WA-07, is training citizens to "resist authoritarianism."

This is the "pressure from below" aspect of the color revolution. Mobilizing the grassroots.

She'll apply the "pressure from above" phase of the revolution as an elected official when these citizens she trains protest and riot on the ground.

Video here.

He provides a description of the "color revolution" tactics being used to destabilize and conquer the US, which I'm grateful for, because while I had a vague sense of what color revolution meant, I didn't really understand it.

@samosaur

I think we're in a hybrid between a color revolution playbook and an insurgency fueled by oppressor/oppressed sentiments.

The overall goal is the same: enable a minority to gain and consolidate total control "legally" without major bloodshed by convincing the majority they're hopelessly outnumbered and overwhelmed.

"The concept of "pressure from above and below" (sometimes described as the "revolutionary use of pliers") originates from a 1957 analysis by Jan Kozák, a theoretician and member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party's Central Committee."

Without delving into the entire post WWII scenario, Czechoslovakian communists conducted a soft coup in 1948 by exerting "pressure from below" through the use of rioters, strikers and protesters. They created the illusion of widespread chaos at the grassroots levels.

Communists in the government, who held democratically elected seats, came over top and applied "pressure from above" by creating laws to appease the protesters, even though it was the same group of people.

They would use "positions already held within government, parliament, ministries, courts, police, and media to enact legal changes, pass laws, appoint loyalists, and shift power incrementally toward the party."

The idea was to squeeze the majority populace into "apathy and despair" and allow the lawmakers to make concessions to appease the rioters. This ultimately lead to communist overthrow through democratic means.

Though the precursor to the modern color revolution was rooted in communist seizure of power, post USSR color revolutions employed many of the same tactics by demonstrating against authoritarianism and fraudulent elections (see Serbia 2000, Georgia 2003 and Ukraine 2004).

While NGOs have been linked to the revolutions, "proponents of color revolutions counter that they were driven by domestic grievances and civil society, with any external aid limited to democracy promotion (e.g., election monitoring, civic education) rather than engineered takeovers."

Modern color revolutions became popular due to the themes they used such as specific colors, flowers and "peaceful" means of government overthrow, but the concept behind them is one of a disenfranchised people who seek to throw off the reins of authoritarianism.

What we're currently seeing in the U.S. is more akin to the "pressure from above and below" model from 1948 Czechoslovakia, as elected, sympathetic members of the government provide legitimacy to the riots and demonstrations carried out in the streets. Media cements the narrative by amplifying the messaging while often carrying scripted narratives that are repeated on every outlet by every anchor.

Many are hesitant to call it a full blown insurgency, though insurgency like methods are heavily involved in the "pressure from below" as autonomous zones are created and "protesters" take over legitimacy and sideline law enforcement, medical care, journalists and anyone else not sympathetic to their cause.

An insurgency is generally defined by a long period of time where terrorist tactics are employed such as assassinations and sabotage, and I think a valid argument can be made that many of these tactics have been employed across a national space for a decade or more.

The color revolution aspect of the resistance is employed through organizations such as BLM and No Kings, based in the oppressor/oppressed framework I mentioned earlier.

While these definitions are important and give context, there is one key factor missing from every other color revolution/coup previously mentioned: illegal immigration.

The number one priority of the Biden Administration was to flood the interior with as many foreigners as possible. By absorbing 20+ illegal immigrants, communists and progressives (working in parallel with converging interests), shored up their voting demographic for the foreseeable future. They will fight to the death to preserve it.

While grassroots AND paid actors demonstrate in the color revolution space for either their belief that Trump is an illegitimate authoritarian figure, illegal immigrants being allowed to stay, or simply because they're paid to demonstrate, the communist NGOs and support networks creating the infrastructure and networks, plus the funding streams, are focused on government overthrow.

They've been working in both peaceful and violent spaces for over a decade, and communist rule is their focus. They leverage the media, their people in government and law enforcement, and the emotional ideology of their "grassroots" movements apply "pressure from above and below" with the sole purpose of overthrowing the Government of the United States.



December 2025: Candace Owens attacks Erika Kirk for being too emotional, says that she needs to either step down from TPUSA or "comparamentalize" her emotions

Just this week: Candace Owens attacks Erika Kirk for not being emotional enough over her husband's murder

She fixates on accusing Erika Kirk of faking her grief over Charlie's murder, or showing no grief about Charlie's murder, because her grift consists of claiming -- well, insinuating -- that Erika Kirk was part of the plot to kill her husband.

Oh, and also, because she was fired by, and romantically rejected by, Charlie Kirk, and she's crusading to destroy TPUSA so that they're forced to make her the head of it.

19 Excuse me, Moochelle, but you articulate your pain and angst every time someone (sadly) puts a mic in front of your fugly face. You grab that mic with your paws and whine like a dog (no offense to dogs).

CO is insane, (well and Colorado, but not who I mean in that sentence). Certifiably. Does she want to get sued by Mrs. Kirk so she can whine about that and blame the Jews? A private conversation she posts and makes it look bad. "See! I told you she's a Jew!"

I also did not know you can't laugh or smile in grief. In really bad grief I don't do it often but I am not wailing in an echo bucket (so far).

I could be totally wrong, but I think Mrs. Kirk was giving a pep talk to his team after the memorial. And, no, Candace, I doubt you will ever know where he's buried.

How are the MN riots going today? I've been busy with other zombie things as I am tired.

I did note a new Gonna Kill You virus, this time out of India. Let us hope it stays there as my beloved grandchildren are traveling and airports are germ spreaders. I also hope it is media hype that we're all going to die (which is true, but I hope not next week from some sort of fruit bat diarrhea).

FAFO: Violent Lunatic Women Making Death Threats, Plotting the Poisoning of ICE Agents, and Spitting at ICE Agents Are Getting Fired and Arrested

The VCU nurse who urged people to...

1, find ICE agents on dating apps and then poison them with laxatives

2, threaten ICE agents with needles -- filled with saline, she says -- so that protesters can scare them by thinking they'll be infected with a disease or harmed by a poison

3, use a paralytic agent on ICE agents

...has now been fired.

LibsofTikTok isn't content. She wants her nursing license pulled.

A West Virginia AWFL had solicited assassins to murder Trump.

She has now been arrested.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Department in West Virginia announced Sunday evening that a librarian was under arrest after she posted videos seeking to recruit assassins targeting President Donald Trump.

Morgan L. Morrow of Ripley, West Virginia, was charged with one count of making a terroristic threat, the agency posted on its Facebook page. The arrest was announced at 9:31 p.m. Eastern time, hours after Libs of TikTok posted the videos on X earlier Sunday evening.


"Following a detailed evening investigation by deputies and the Jackson County [Bureau] of Investigations, Morgan L. Morrow, age 39 of Ripley, has been detained, arrested, and transported to [South Central Regional Jail] following a social media recruitment of individuals to pursue and assassinate President Trump," the agency's post, signed by Jackson County Sheriff RH Mellinger, said. "Further details will be released as we continue to compile facts and further the investigation. Morrow is charged with one count of TERRORISTIC THREATS."

...

The video, which featured a caption saying, "Surely a sniper with a terminal illness cannot be a big ask out of 343 million," apparently was posted on Morrow's Instagram, and comments showed others proposing the assassinations of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller as well as tech CEO Larry Ellison and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Peter Thiel.

The ob/gyn nurse who wished for Karoline Leavitt to be torn open while giving birth has had her nursing license cancelled by Florida:


Remember the inbred Somali woman who spat at ICE agents and then began making false claims about being beaten and "kidnapped" by ICE to avoid prosecution for assault?

Well, this inbred retard did not avoid prosecution.

By the way: Here's the Cultural Enrichment she is bringing to us all.

87 "LibsofTikTok isn't content. She wants her nursing license pulled."

Agreed. This psychopathic behavior (even to the point of public announcement) excludes her from treating patients. She is clearly incapable of "doing no harm".

It wouldn't be imprudent to investigate if she has already killed someone. Her directive is abhorrent.

And the medical personnel who will not treat badged authorities of any flavor because they disagree with their politics should be suspended (without pay) or fired, too. Perhaps a period of rehab away from the profession is reasonable - say, a year or two - to get normalized is acceptable; but these are not caregivers.

118 Ace, a huge thing is happening all over the country, and as far as I can tell, no one os covering it:

Starting yesterday, all of America's AWFULs are LARPing as Antifa revolutionaries.

Here's what happened: The call went out on the vast AWFUL social media network (originating from where I do nt yet know, or if it emerged organically) for all the white women "allies" to become runners/scouts for the Antifa ICE trackers. Millions of whistles (the same whistles used by Antifa) were instantly and mysteriously distributed to AFWL activsts coast-to-coast on the same day, and now they're distributing them to "every household in America" so that anytime any middle white liberal woman sees what she thinks is ICE activity, she's supposed to jump out of the car and start blowing on the whistle until Antifa arrives.

Don't ask me how I know (OK, it's because I know a lot of these AWFLs, and they're all talking about it excitedly). plus i've seen many posts on social media about it.

This is about to get real comical, real fast.

141 Why do all ICE agents who have threatened and literally killed our neighbors still have jobs?

Yeah, this only ever goes one way. Where is all the media outrage over the people demanding ICE murder more immigrants? That's fine, but when people get justifiably angry at ICE , suddenly that's a national outrage we need to push to everyone's feeds

This is just like the people suggesting you run over BLM protesters for blocking the road. Some of them also lost their jobs.

Not really and didn’t Florida make that legal

I like how threatening to make a poison ivy concoction and spray it on ICE is wholly unacceptable. But ICE doing drive-by macings is just a reality we have to deal with.

I guess it comes down to whether you see ICE as still being legitimate after all the violations of constitutional rights, all the uses of excessive force, all the refusal of the federal government to have accountability for agents who break the law.

I don't see them as legitimate. I see them as the president's brownshirts.

145 In the new Pretti video (which is from a week or two before he was shot,) he is attacking an ICE SUV like a Rottweiler going after a mail truck.

He is also armed, and there is short take down after he breaks the taillight.

In Twitter, they are claiming that ICE was harassing a young family of citizens, in reality that SUV was just blocking traffic because they had an operation with a violent felon down the street and they did not want the public interfering or getting hurt.

But he goes after the SUV, while armed, he had to expect to be arrested, but they let him go. I think he was suicidal. I think when he was being held down and heard a discharge a couple days ago, he got up on his knees and reached back to get his gun because he wanted to kill ICE agents. (he did not realize the gun was already gone.) So how did his mind get so rotted. There has to be more to this story, like maybe his husband dumped him, or he had some major setback in life and decided to end it. I think.

Less than a week ago he required a giant bandaid to accomodate a laceration on her forehead received at the hands of ICE. Her mugshot shows that the injury is not only 100% healed, but left no permanent scarring or mark on that rather voluminous forehead. Bananas and Rice for the win!!!!

"Distributing the whistle kits this afternoon. Be prepared! DM for address."

"Yesss!"

"What are these for???"

"If you don't know then you must be ICE Get out."

"What are they for? ICE in our neighborhood kidnapping our friends, family and neighbors."

'I just assumed everyone has heard of the whistles thing today. It's for iCE."

"Thanks for asking. Whistles are bring used by all community members as a tool of resistance to alert, protect, and defend neighbors from ICE immigration enforcement. This is the "real-time alert system" to warn of agents in the area, allowing people to prepare for potential raids or avoid detection. It's very important."

"Update: I've already run out of whistles! Will be getting more in a few hours. This is spreading. Yay!"

235 The whistle thing is mostly about indoctrination.

They want to get people to publicly announce their position now while they are at a zenith.

It is a ritual -- you get people to do something in public, and it defines them forever. They want them to stand on the corner and blow the whistle as a way to solidify their current (distorted) feelings that ICE is evil.

239 Umm I see a huge flaw in this AFWL whistle scam. Most of these Awfuls are not going to venture to the neighborhoods where ICE is probably operating in their Lexus and Audi SUVs. The ones that do are going to roll down their windows to whistle and then lock back up and drive unless they imagine the locals will leave them alone rather than taking their shit by force. Probably some are going to get injured and not just robbed if their "oh no I can't go there" instincts do not kick in.

They want people to take a public stand -- to seperate themselves from "the world." Just like in a cult. They dress the same and renounce non-believers.

I never understood that. They signed up to do the job. Nursing has always been real work, not an easy slog. Why did Covid make any difference to the length of their shifts? It didn't. Some signed up for extra work, and then bitched about it.

The rest of us have had jobs that required overtime, sometimes weeks or months at a time. Do you suppose that those of us who designed and built the hospitals were somehow NOT working overtime?

BREAKING - Numerous prominent Republican figures are now floating the idea of broad amnesty for illegals, with Newt Gingrich saying it’s time to “have a national conversation” about illegals who “obey the law,” claiming very few Americans want to see them deported.

After much research I decided that prepping the bathroom with Vaseline, a Notebook (iPad), and other essentials for camping out is the way to go.

Otherwise, I would no sooner get settled than it would be necessary to take another hike.
So, no longer taking the hike but camping out instead.

Yes. Some people literally have no internal monologue. In fact, I read that one of them, when he found out that other people do, revealed that he thought it was just a storytelling device when TV shows and movies would (using a voiceover or subtitles) depict someone thinking in words to himself.

For whatever he might have been at one time, on this issue Newt is either a) misinformed, b) lying, or c) senile. Even CNN reported poll numbers showing a majority want ALL illegals deported.

California Defrauded the US Government for Millions to Provide Phone and Internet Service for Their Most Reliable Democrat Voters

I speak, of course, about the dead.

Note that the program they afforded allowed them to either allow the US government to verify the claims made, or else California could opt out of this federal verification and do the verification themselves.

California chose to do its own verification.

And then provided phone and internet service for almost 100,000 dead people.

California obtained millions in federal funds to cover phone and internet service for 94,000 dead people, a new report from the Federal Communications Commission has revealed.

The state took in $3.8 million between 2020 and 2025 through the federal Lifeline program, which spends nearly $1 billion annually to subsidize phone and internet service for low-income Americans, according to the FCC's inspector general.

Of the three states named in the report, California collected the most money by a long shot -- accounting for more than 80% of the payments, the report said.

"Gavin Newsom's California was by far the worst offender of these opt-out states," FCC Chair Brendan Carr wrote on X, referencing states that oversaw the program's verification process for recipients. He said that the FCC has revoked the state's authority to manage verification.

Newsom's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Of the 116,808 deceased individuals in opt-out states, roughly two-thirds (77,446) were enrolled after their deaths, the report stated.

It's almost as if the Democrat Party no longer votes for billion-dollar boondoggles for the poor, but billion dollar boondoggles to personally enrich themselves and their billionaire donors.

In betting markets, he's 3/4 place, alongside Kamala.

But Kamala wins almost every poll and will win the SC primary by 50 points while in those same polls Shapiro gets like 0% black support.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke

I looked up the etymology of the name "Shapriro" not long ago. According to Wikipedia, it's the Yiddish form of "Speyer," a city in Germany that had a substantial Jewish population. Some Jews from there just went with the German name for the city, "Speyer," as a surname. The article doesn't mention whether any Christians did so.

My paternal grandmother's maiden name was "Speyer." So maybe I'm part Jewish?

Cool, if true.

The U.S. Constitution does not provide any explicit mechanism for revoking a state's statehood or reverting it to territorial status, as the framers designed the Union to be perpetual and indestructible. Hypothetically, pursuing this for California would involve unprecedented and likely insurmountable steps, as it lacks legal foundation...blah blah Congress

122 For some reason with this post I remembered a crazy thing after my brother's unexpected death from a massive stroke. I loved him dearly as the funniest person on earth.

I had to go with my mother and other brother to do funeral home stuff, which I try to avoid as much as possible. The ghouls that work there flip me out as much as car or furniture salesmen.

Anyway, we were sitting around a big table and the ghouls were faking being sorry for us. They asked for my cell phone number and others. Then asked for my late brother's, which I found peculiar.

I said, while laughing, "Why? He can't answer or call you back?" My other brother smiled and my mother sort of did as they know I am not always suitable to be in public even in normal times.

We then went to the cemetary where my mother got enraged with those ghouls at the cost of opening an empty grave that had been paid for 60yrs prior. My brother and I stared at each other as she raked a man over the coals. I guess this was our grieving process.

We were all better after that.

128 Directly out of your pocket, by the way. Not kidding.

Lifeline is only pseudo-government. It is administered by the FCC, but it isn't funded via appropriation under normal process. It is funded out of the Universal Service Fund.

The Universal Service Fund is itself funded outside of appropriations. It is funded through a line-item on your telecom bill. Go look. It's called the "Universal Service Fee," and you pay it every month when you pay your bill.

This originated as a part of the AT&T breakup and divestiture. It didn't exist before that, because AT&T subsidized rural and other low-profit or special-case services by charging through the nose for long distance (remember that)? With long-distance deregulation, that silent subsidy ended. The solution was the Universal Service Fund.

So in this unusual cases, California's fraudsters actually aren't stealing from taxpayers. Instead, they're stealing from every single person and business in the country who pays a phone bill.

150 California obtained millions in federal funds to cover phone and internet service for 94,000 dead people, a new report from the Federal Communications Commission has revealed.

The state took in $3.8 million between 2020 and 2025 through the federal Lifeline program, which spends nearly $1 billion annually to subsidize phone and internet service for low-income Americans, according to the FCC's inspector general.

++++
Doesn't add up. That's five years, or $760k per year.

Per the FCC, the subsidy is $9.25/month per recipient (unless you're an Indian on a reservation, in which case it is $34.25).

So 95,000 phony recipients - assuming none are on tribal lands - comes to $878,750. That is more than the $760k average that, if I am reading the excerpt correctly, amounts to California's total take out of the program.

The $3.5 million over five years is wrong, or the 95k phony recipients is wrong. These two things cannot be simultaneously true.

He just tried to tussle with cops while armed.

Don't get in between cops (even feds) and their duties while armed because the feds will treat you like a threat the second you don't obey a single order.

Also, don't get in between cops and their duties at all unless you're ready for the consequences.

These douches act like they're in a war where the other side are beat cops who have to read them Miranda rights just to look in their direction.

The City of Indianapolis has appointed its very first female Chief of Police to lead the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Chief Tanya Terry, a 27-year veteran of the force, has served as a Deputy Chief of Operations underneath former Chief Chris Bailey for the last two years.

Outside of work, Terry and her wife, IMPD Captain Lindsey Terry, stay busy with their two teenagers.

165 Wait, it's even worse than in 151. The subsidy is $9.25 per MONTH for someone not on tribal land, or $111.00 per year.

94,000 people would be a total subsidy for those people for an entire year of $10.434 million. One year, not five.

These numbers just don't make sense. If there are that many, the fraud is a damn sight more $3.8 million. If the actual amount is that low, the number of fraudulent recipients is very, very small.

226 The more I think about it, the more I agree with the angle that what we're seeing in Minneapolis implies that Trump, MAGA, MAHA, and Doge must somehow pose an existential threat to Postmodern Leftism. We have learned from their anti-ICE operations that American Socialists have in place an entire Insurgency level of organizational structure and training, which would have remained invisible if they had not used it. And, that's the key for me: using the infrastructure of the Socialist Insurgency meant making it vulnerable to exposure, which makes it vulnerable to counter-insurgency operations, but they did it anyway.

And, it also exposes by implication that there is likely a parallel infrastructure built up throughout the entire West, at least all of Europe and the Anglosphere, and probably everywhere that USAID and the Open Society Foundation spread their tendrils. So, the threat must be far vaster than the removal of a thousand specific illegal aliens, or even a million. They must have been reacting to a threat to something as least as valuable to them as the Global Socialist Insurgency infrastructure that they have exposed to potential erosion and removal.

Posted by: Heavy Meta

Once you engage in illegal actions like fighting with an officer, then they have the right to disarm you by force including deadly if you resist.

Only a very stupid person and one that should not be carrying in the first place purposefully engages cops of any flavor, local, state, or federal while armed.

Oh, and BTW TJM,
No cop has to give you Miranda rights when they arrest you. They only have to do that before interrogation as in custody.

Arrests only require probable cause witnessed by the officer or already preexisting in a warrant, etc.

My Criminal Law students all freaked out when I told them that. I also told them flat out never resist, talk back, nor try to wheedle them out of a ticket, etc. to a cop on the side of the road. Save it for court.

251 Another thing to remember, don't carry off your property without using holsters. Many states have holster laws for firearms due to accidental discharges, etc.

If you like to go armed, then sure as hell follow ALL relevant state laws where ever you are. Even if they appear stupid to you, in a police encounter, you might take a ride downtown, lose your ability to buy a firearm in the future, and end up with a record.

Same applies dealing with federal lands. Follow the laws no matter how stupid they are. GOA is not gonna get you off nor is the 2AF. And if you have concealed carry insurance, they may well cancel you if you are caught violating firearm laws or fighting with cops.

Trump: "A massive Armada is heading to Iran," Ready to Strike "with speed and violence"

Iran requested talks with the US to avert a possible military strike. Iran denies they did this, but the government is just a collection of filthy primitive Satanic liars.

Trump transmitted his demands, in exchange for "talks," and Iran rejected them. Among the demands: A completely nuclear-free Iran.

Now Trump warns Iran: Don't make me do to you what I did to Venezuela.

A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela.

Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary. Hopefully Iran will quickly "Come to the Table" and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn't, and there was "Operation Midnight Hammer," a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse! Don't make that happen again.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

President DONALD J. TRUMP

Iran has responded, per the NYT:

Iran responded defiantly to President Trump's demand from earlier this morning to "Come to the Table" or face possible military action. The Iranian mission to the United Nations said in its own social media post that Iran was "ready for dialogue based on mutual respect and interests." But it added that "IF PUSHED," Iran would "DEFEND ITSELF AND RESPOND LIKE NEVER BEFORE!"

Marco Rubio was asked about Iran in his Senate appearance today.

The problem for Iran -- and for us -- is simple: Their economy is a basket-case due to their using all of their money to fund terrorism and nuclear bombs, and the sanctions we have imposed in response to that. The people are protesting not just because the regime is repressive and evil, but because common citizens are just broke and wondering where they'll get the money to eat.

But we can't help their economy or loosen up the sanctions as they continue to build nukes and fund terrorism.

So there's really only one way to end this. Well, two ways: Either the Ayatollah agrees to stop building nukes and funding terrorism, or we take him out.

They refuse to agree to the former.


Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson continues attacking Americans for even speaking about foreign policy. If you object to Iran killing 30-35,000 of its own citizens, he says you're a monster and a neocon for not talking about American fentanyl deaths.

But meanwhile, he can't stop taking trips to Qatar and Saudi Arabia and praising Islam.

"I'm very comfortable being in the seat of Islam."

Because he's such a patriotic American and such a strong Christian! I mean, did you know that Christian support for Israel was heretical?! Tucker Carlson says so. In fact, he says he "hates" "Christian Zionists."

But he's a SuperFan of Islam. And that endorsement should count for a lot, for, as he always tells you when he's endorsing leftwing propaganda, he is a Christian. Or at least he became one two years ago.

Ryan Saavedra
@RyanSaavedra

Ambassador Mike Huckabee suggests that Tucker Carlson's rapid ideological shift is driven by money:

"Let's just take Tucker Carlson. That a man in his mid 50s, who I've known since 1991 when his first job out of college was in Little Rock, Arkansas, working for a newspaper. I worked with him for 6.5 years at Fox News in New York.

Suddenly, in a very short period of time, a switch is split, and he has a completely different worldview, and his ideological base has completely changed. That's not normal for someone in his 50s. It just isn't.

What happened? I don't know. Is it that it is more profitable for him to do what he's doing now than what he was doing when he was at Fox News?

He wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't. There's got to be, on all of our part, a willingness to push back, stand up, speak up. But to do it with facts, but to do it not with a sense of anger and hostility, I think that's a huge mistake.

If all we do is engage in the same level of temperature, then we're not going to be able to be successful. We need to calmly, but with a sense of assurance and confidence, push back on some of the more outrageous things."

His remarks here.

We could have eliminated those fuckers and Trump missed the opportunity- just as he was telling the protesters to have heart.

That was an easy call. We could have eliminated a few problems with those strikes. Nope.

40 We need to finish what we started with Iran in 79, we have been pussy footing around with them since then. I got a combat deployment out of them in 88 when we went in to escort oil tankers through the straits and we got to sink their Navy but we couldn't touch anything not floating in the Gulf.


We spent 20 years messing with their proxies in both Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11.


It's time to end this mess once and for all.

______________________

Keep an eye on the Iranian / Pakistani border. I suspect while Trump is making all these threats of action, the real strategy here is a siege. Cutting off Iran from any Import/ Export markets disallows them the opportunity to address the core problems of decaying infrastructure. The land route (through Pakistan) is currently shut down to Iranians. I suspect we have "advisors" there assisting and encouraging Pakistan in that endeavor. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Pakistan get a late Christmas gift of some form as a payoff for playing along.

There was a kid i knew, worked for me. Always struck my gut as a solid kid. Hard working. Genuine.

Then evidently he started to run into marriage problem (probably not all of a sudden but it came to a head.) Come to find out he had a massive case of bipolar. Throw in drugs he started in on and all of a sudden my gut did a u turn (i did not know the above until after) and I did not know why.

People act like Trump campaigned on no foreign interactions at all.

But, Trump in his first term used surgical strikes to attack Iran's terrorism leadership.

His whole style is negotiate hard, if that fails, strike hard and then open up negotiations again. He's never once let off a hint that he wanted to nation build anywhere in the world. The most is, "let American companies have favorable and first-bid contracts to your resources," not, "Let the State Department build you a new Parliament."

I don't know much about it, but there's been one guy in the movie news recently from Iran who was tried in absentia in his home country for some major offense. I think he has to be homebound for a year, or something.

Iran does make movies, but from what I understand it's artsy movies. I assume they make nationalist movies, but I also assume that Iran has no interest in exporting them so the rest of the world largely doesn't see it.

I mean...Germans don't export their comedies either. Probably for the same reason.

Re "Christian Zionism". It has a meaning, deep theological topic, and the exact meaning can vary a bit. It's a complicated theological thing about the Christian church vs what "Israel" actually is spiritually in the Church Age (from the POV of Christian theology).

That needs to be kept separate from geopolitics and the modern State of Israel. Mixing the two gives us this mess we're in.

203 People act like Trump campaigned on no foreign interactions at all.

But, Trump in his first term used surgical strikes to attack Iran's terrorism leadership.

His whole style is negotiate hard, if that fails, strike hard and then open up negotiations again. He's never once let off a hint that he wanted to nation build anywhere in the world. The most is, "let American companies have favorable and first-bid contracts to your resources," not, "Let the State Department build you a new Parliament."

I suspect Qatar is spending big money, and also using other tactics, to get influencers and intelligentsia in the West to say that islam is really not that bad after all. It is an op.

There is no proof or materiality to any of islams claims. None of it. You can’t say the same for Judaism or Christianity. Not only that it came out of nowhere based on some guys claims that were unfounded. The history of the people involved is not just corrupt, but they were despicable people who had insidious practices. This isnt God telling Joshua to kill people as he worked his way back to the promised land. It’s every evil articulated in the Bible. The koran is filled with garbage and commands to convert people by force or enslave them. That’s how most of the people who practice it today came to be. There’s much more but not enough space here to teach Cucker because I suppose the pay is too good.

275 I mean, did you know that Christian support for Israel was heretical?! Tucker Carlson says so. In fact, he says he "hates" "Christian Zionists."

Friar Tuck's usual cornball pronouncements. That said, I don't think modern Christianity's support for Israel -- as a religious matter -- makes much sense or represents the position of Christianity historically. The Papacy and Crusaders ran Christian states in the Holy Land; they weren't trying to restore Israel in the sense of a Jewish state.

286 What some may not understand about the difference between Christian martyrdom and Islamic tashhid is that the Christian doesn't get martyr points for killing others.
Emperor Heraclius played around with this idea when fighting the Sasanians, which is how we got Islam in the first place. The Crusades kind-of brought this back, but they didn't win.
"Just-war theory" isn't martyrdom, it's just doing what ya gotta do.

That was some time ago, and is a major motivator for Russia and many other countries (mostly the "BRICS", but not exclusively) finding work-arounds.

It is also the cause of a major threat to the US economic system, because suddenly "the USD is sacrosanct for international settlements" is no longer true. The shift aware from USD for trade settlement has begun, and it will hurt.

This change was ultimately inevitable, but Biden moved it up by at least a decade.

More sanctions, freezing of assets, hoping to limit their ability to operate internationally. OTOH, they can retaliate and keep certain European citizens in holding and continue to provide Russia with drones.

The EU didn't follow the European Parliament’s call to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group on the EU’s recent sanctions list in 2023. It stated it decided against listing the IRGC then because of the lack of a court decision to that effect.

353 I just read an article that the EU just made it illegal to purchase Russian petroleum products. Then they said they would replace those losses by opening up the petroleum market with India.

Ummm....guess were India gets most of their Petroleum products. Yup, Russia.

So, the EU made it illegal to purchase Russian Pet Prds. created a middle man (India) which will add to the cost. And, are essentially continuing to buy Russian petroleum products that cost more from an intermediary.

GOOD DEAL!!!! (Monty Hall has tears in his eyes from crying and laughter)

Really, Carlson was a hanger on who always managed to insinuate himself into the value of others. Roger Stone never hid what he did. Roger knew people, and he wanted to be influential so that he could serve himself. Carlson thinks that he's the one establishes the value to begin with, and that others need him.

Trump never would have met Stone if it wasn't for Carlson, explain that to me tyke. Trump was magnetic and Carlson recognized that he had a power that is being minimized, Carlson KNEW he would win, Carlson was SURE that he would be Great, CARLSON CARLSON CARLSON.

After going through the CNN PR Thresher separating the truth from their lies, the video will be enhanced to show him blowing kisses and sticking daisies in their weapons.

425 Seems pretty simple to me, Rubio is a much better administrator than he is a politician. So no, he wouldn't be my first pick for Prez, but I'd take him if it came to that. He is outstanding as an SOS and all the jobs guy though.

"he piece I read covered how just before the UPS negotiations, the Teamsters deliberately drove Yellow Freight Corp. into bankruptcy, just to demonstrate to UPS how much damage they had the ability to do. And the Biden admin was covering for the teamsters the whole way. "

Yeahp, I'm from NWI, the reason Yellow Freight is Yellow Freight to be destroyed is because the state first destroyed the Big R in order to open the door for acquisition by Yellow Freight.

The fall of the Big R, was not because of a bad market.

430 419. The piece I read covered how just before the UPS negotiations, the Teamsters deliberately drove Yellow Freight Corp. into bankruptcy, just to demonstrate to UPS how much damage they had the ability to do. And the Biden admin was covering for the teamsters the whole way.

So, UPS apparently decided to stay solvent, sign the contract, and downsize by a great deal.
Posted by: Tom Servo

Teamsters got OSHA to gang up on UPS regarding heat stress. The agency was only too happy to oblige and try to force UPS as a whole to swallow so they'd have history on the books to force a corporate settlement for a non-existent law. (Same thing took place many years ago concerning ergonomics and GM.)

Also remember, Biden Celebrated $90 Billion Bailout of Private Union Pension Plans (American Rescue Plan), Washington, July 7, 2022 and we'll pickup the tab for years.

I bet when he runs his hands flap like Barky's did when he pranced down AF1's steps. Y'all have no idea how much I wanted him to trip, and my dreams were never met. They somehow transferred to Biden falling up the stairs instead, which was almost good enough.

FBI Raids Fulton County, GA, Election Headquarters As Part of Probe Related to 2020 Election

Remember, it was revealed a few weeks ago that a huge count of supposed "early votes" were submitted without any signatures and without the "tapes" recording these votes. Just poof, 315,000 votes out of literally nowhere.

I'm at the site of a Fulton County elections office where FBI officials confirmed they are conducting "court authorized activity" but declined further comment for now. Trump has repeatedly threatened to open an investigation into his 2020 defeat in Georgia. #gapol

Fox:

FBI agents were seen Wednesday carrying out a search at an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia, a location that became ground zero for concerns and complaints about voter fraud beginning in 2020.

Agents were seen entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, a new facility that state officials opened in 2023 that was designed to streamline their election processes.

It was not immediately clear what the FBI agents were investigating, but Fox News Digital is told the probe is related to the 2020 election.

The bureau said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital that FBI Atlanta was executing a "court authorized law enforcement action at 5600 [Campbellton] Fairburn Rd. Our investigation into this matter is ongoing so there are no details that we can provide at the moment."

The Department of Justice did not immediately provide comment.

Ah yes, wasting time and tax dollars on a distraction that is disconnected from reality. Guess ICE murders aren't polling well.

Vindictive prosecutions aimed at gaining control over election systems before midterms are probably not viewed as wasteful to this administration. We should probably take the weaponization of the FBI to achieve these goals seriously.

It feels like we're in a cold civil war right now with one side actively fighting it and the other in denial of it's existence.

It doesn't feel cold when they just executed someone a few days ago.

what evidence would one expect to find 6 years later? At best this is theater. More likely, this is an attempt to do things to subvert future elections.

If you think Trump can't steal the midterms because of laws or state-run processes or the courts or whatever, you lack imagination.

But...you can't steal an election with clean voter rolls. In fact, the dirty the voter rolls are the easier it becomes since you can cast ballots for the dead, people who moves, illegals, and people that never actually existed.

I see two leftist talking points along these lines:

1) The older talking point is that if people weren't stopped from voting D in blue areas they all would. So if there is less then a 100% turnout in urban areas it is prima facie evidence of voter suppresion

2) The newer talking point is that illegals should be able to vote, so if there are, uh, additional votes in the totals it just makes up for those people's votes being suppressed.

the fraud that year was so blatant, so massive, and so widespread that it constituted a coup d'etat.

I believe the reason people were interested in the doors was to prove whether the FBI/ATF fired on the Davidians at their front door.

- Polling location didn't open
- Ballot reader broken (place it in this bin and we'll read it at a central location)

All of these things have happened just in the past 10 years - on election day, in Republican heavy districts. The idea that forcing everyone to vote on the same day will, somehow, prevent fraud is farcical.

240 Fulton County, GA Election HQ, pretty much GROUND ZERO for voter fraud in the 2020 election

====

Well, Ground Zero seems like hyperbole
---
I say it is.
B/c GA was their "social proof" that Trump was "unpopular" enough that even voters in red states voted against him.
If GA fraud was exposed, then it was grounds to look at WI and AZ.
But GA voted against him so, of course WI and AZ would as well.

11k votes.
And they kicked off the "we have to stop counting" spree.
That somehow spread to 7 other states in 4 different time zones at near exactly the same time.

241 "The idea that forcing everyone to vote on the same day will, somehow, prevent fraud is farcical."

No, the idea that other than one-day voting will prevent fraud is farcical. For other than presidential, elections can be thrown out and re-done, for one. Not sure about state-level, but likely most states have this option. A few congressional primary and general elections were do-overs even in recent years.

The safeguard in presidentials is of course the completely abandoned one of congressional certification. Even without the J6 nonsense, note that the GOP was quivering and unwilling to use this power in 2020.

Election integrity requires all pillars to be solid. Registry, voting process, tabulation.

"Early" voting has another obvious gigantic problem unrelated to election integrity. And I don't mean the slam-dunk consitutional problem for federal elections.

I hadn't heard that. The way I heard it, there was an inside man and David knew. David thought it would be funny to convert him. There was also a house full of gov't agents across the street. The BDs spotted them and knew exactly who they were. There was also a gov't agent who wanted a look for himself and went to the door asking to use the bathroom. They gave him a toilet roll and pointed him to the outhouse. That guy killed himself because he thought he was personally responsible for botching the raid.

They were also depending on the old intel that the BDs were keeping all the guns upstairs in a secure room. That's the room you see on the video with the agents getting shot to shit on the roof. The plan was to come in fast in a cattle truck and swarm before the BDs could distribute the guns.

The inside man warned his superiors the BDs knew they were coming. He told them to call off the raid. They didn't. The BDs had distributed the guns.

Nothing will prevent fraud. But having 1 Election Day will greatly reduce it. Allowing ballots to sit around for weeks or months allows all sorts of fraud to happen.

Plus people can vote in person using fake IDs (if they’re even required)10-15 times a day for several weeks vs just one day..

Which by itself is a killer drawback.

"Early" voting wasn't AFAIK a significant thing in federal elections until the 90s. And it's absurdly, comically unconstitutional - which is true of many things, but no reason to surrender on the narrow and easy cases.

Voting "season" just expands the voting process vulnerabilities and workload, while delivering ...... absolutely nothing of value. Hopefully it will be killed constitutionally (on the federal level), obviating the need for a mostly politically dead society lorded over by an utterly useless political class to do it the hard way.

316 I despise the term "voter fraud." That gives election officials a grace that they absolutely do not deserve. It's election fraud, and it happens wherever Lefty activists have control, since their only pseudo-moral 'principles' are Power & Clique. Of course that means counties where big cities are, like Multnomah County (Portland); but I assume also state capitols like Marion County (Salem), and probably wherever big state universities are too, like Lane County (Eugene).

Election fraud. Election fraud, election fraud, election fraud. Say it. Election fraud.

317 FOX NEWS calling AZ

that was the trigger
Posted by: BlackOrchid

Yes, farcical, because FOX still hadn't called Florida.

But I do have to hand it to Brent B. because his AZ call led to some unexpected financial advice on precious metals. After that fiasco, we boycotted Fox. Looked for something to watch. Recognized Steve Bannon's name going through the Roku list. Impression was he was "out there." Same with his sidekicks. Watched for entertainment value. Surprised the guy made some sense, regularly used sarcasm, appeared to be a reader and student of history. Learned some things. Worked out. In all sorts of ways.

But a reckoning still awaits for all of it.

327 There's a reason the multiple independent "recounts" of the FL presidential in 2020 by newspapers working with Big 8 accounting firms came to the same result as that announced on election night by the FL SecState.

Because simple mechanical tabulation mechanisms using paper ballots work, results are infinitely repeatable/testable, and machines can be infinitely tested and calibrated.

Paper ballots and hand counts/mechanical counts (no electronics or software involved) offer zero opportunities for tabulation fraud. Ballots can be "lost", sure, but there's no perfect system. This system is very robust against fraud. With web-cam recording/access of every step (obviously should be required), it probably represents the best that could be done.

There's a caveat to that. In the 2024 election when it was clear that Harris had lost, you may recall that she refused to concede. In her comments to the media relative to that she said "we'll take a look at things around 2 or 3am and then make a decision."

I took that as Harris believing she was going to get the same covert Boost that Biden got and squeak it out with bogus votes. However, it never materialized. My theory on that is that Lara Trump was ready, and had lawyers and poll watchers ready to jump immediately on the problem...(unlike 2020, when the Trump team was unprepared to counter, and merely whined about the unfairness). The Dems never pulled the trigger to activate the early morning vote drop for fear of it blowing up on them.

388 379 There's a caveat to that. In the 2024 election when it was clear that Harris had lost, you may recall that she refused to concede. In her comments to the media relative to that she said "we'll take a look at things around 2 or 3am and then make a decision."

I took that as Harris believing she was going to get the same covert Boost that Biden got and squeak it out with bogus votes. However, it never materialized. My theory on that is that Lara Trump was ready, and had lawyers and poll watchers ready to jump immediately on the problem...(unlike 2020, when the Trump team was unprepared to counter, and merely whined about the unfairness). The Dems never pulled the trigger to activate the early morning vote drop for fear of it blowing up on them.

Philly did try to shut down counting, actually.

The RNC sued and the fed court sided with the RNC.

I tend to credit Michael Whatley for it. He was one of the key "2020 election was fraud" guys on the right that the RNC kept at arms length until Trump finally took control of the organization (and then made co-chair with Lara).

He's running for senate in NC this year.

390 1 day voting

In person only

ID needed

Signature needed and verified against registration card

Ballots kept in a public area at all times with livestream video recording.

A minimum of 5 people are present during any count, all having passed a rigorous FBI background check ahead of time.

Do this and you eliminate 90% of fraud.

420 You’re still leaving ballots unattended for long periods of time subject to fuckery. It’s the same effect as mail in or absentee.

And allowing “interested parties” to get a look at who is voting.

If we have to have early in-person voting, I’d argue that it still needs to be a very short time, such as two days, and it needs to be continuous. The polls open at 7 AM or whatever on Monday and close at 8 PM or whatever on Tuesday. Same equipment, same place.

There should be no “early voting period” and then “day of voting period”. Just voting, one system. What we have now allows for so many vectors of surveillance and attack it’s impossible to believe they’re not being exploited.

432 Early voting will never go away because it allows canvassers a lot of time to get people to vote. Once someone votes it goes into the state database which both Democrats and Republicans have access to. That data is then used to tell canvassars to skip certain household which already voted.

I think the main vector of cheating is the mail-in vote. That's because the mail-in votes are not counted until after the Election Day voting is done. Once they know who all voted they created the fake mail-in ballot of remaining non-voters (and lets face it fake registrations) and ship them in. I suspect there are mail-in vote creation centers around the country. There is a reason why they want mail-in votes to be counted days after Election Day and that is because it requires time to manufacture the ballots.

In an interview with the always infuriating Tim Miller of The Bulwark, Walz went on a classic Tim Walz rant, lying his way through a rambling discussion in which he portrays himself as a defender of truth, justice, and the Somali way, with Miller treating him as if he were a genuine leader instead of a bumbling mafia boss who has pillaged Minnesota, incited riots, and turned this state into a net exporter of taxpayers and net importer of fraudsters.

[I] want to point out that Walz perfectly exemplifies what he means by "peaceful protest" in that clip, and the irony that Tim Miller and the Bulwark are so proud to put it out as exemplifying the approach they admire so much in Walz.

What do they choose as their teaser?

"I would beat the s*!t out of him now if I could."

And a Democrat candidate for Ohio AG says he will "kill Donald Trump."

Through a, wink-wink, state prosecution that somehow ends up in the death penalty.

See, he's totally not threatening to assassinate the president. Wink-wink.

A Democrat candidate for Ohio attorney general is under fire after posting a video in which he explicitly said he intends to "kill Donald Trump" by pursuing a criminal conviction that would end in capital punishment.

In the now-viral clip, Elliot Forhan, who launched his attorney general campaign in February 2025, attempted to frame the statement as a legal hypothetical, declaring, "I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump," before adding that he would seek a jury conviction "beyond a reasonable doubt" followed by a sentence "duly executed" by the state.

"That is what I mean when I say I am going to kill Donald Trump," Forhan concluded.

The remarks immediately sparked backlash with Republicans arguing that invoking the execution of a sitting president--Donald Trump--crosses a line at a moment when political violence remains a live national concern.

Forhan's history has only intensified scrutiny. During a single term in the Ohio House of Representatives, he was stripped of committee assignments and office access following reported altercations with colleagues.

In September 2025--days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA--Forhan posted "F*** Charlie Kirk" on Facebook. He later defended that post despite opening with "Violence is wrong," saying, "I chose my words carefully, and I chose them to communicate my message forcefully."

I mean, he does say, literally, "I am going to kill Donald Trump," but he means legally so it's all cool.

In my book on our age of rage I explore how rage is addictive and contagious. What people do not want to admit in places like Minneapolis is that they like it, they need it. Politicians know that. Even after Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones was shown to have threatened to kill his political opponents and their children, other Democratic leaders continued to support him and he was elected to the highest law enforcement position in the state. Now, Ohio Democratic Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan appears to be attempting to ride the same rage wave in a video in which he says, "...I am going to kill Donald Trump."

A video is making rounds on X in which Forhan says, "I am going to obtain conviction, rendered by a jury of his peers, at a standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt, based on evidence, presented at trial, conducted in accordance with due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment."

Forhan continued, "That is what I mean when I say I am going to kill Donald Trump."

The video shows the thrill of saying (or hearing others declare) that you are going to kill your political enemies. After the thrill-kill statement, Forhan then adds the legal rationale, like a fast-talking commercial warning of product risks. He knows, as with those warnings, people will tune out the perfunctory verbiage. Indeed, like a commercial, he immediately returns to the marketing pitch in saying, "I am going to kill Donald Trump."

This is protected speech under the First Amendment, but it is also reprehensible rhetoric at a time of increasing social unrest. Forhan is trafficking in rage in the hope that it will secure him a political office.

This pledge to hunt a single individual has worked for other Democratic Attorney General candidates like Letitia James.

I don't know if it's protected political speech. A threat against the president's life isn't legal because you wink-wink it.

Anyone with two functioning brain cells has to see that trying to use the "rules", i.e., "The Constitution" in settling our differences cannot possibly work when one side doesn't accept those rules and in fact uses them - diabolically and wickedly - as both shield and cudgel. All while having absolutely no respect for it and wanting to destroy it. Sorry but that's the way I see it. It will become nothing more than a suicide note.

Lesbian wedding, endless shots of naked dudes, a naked hug (!) between two dudes, and some gay 90s pop song inexplicably made a centerpiece of the movie.

A few years ago the FNM went gonzo reporting the first man to get pregnant.

People assumed it was some Frankenstein science stuff but it was way dumber.

The "man" that was pregnant was a woman that had decided she was now a man even though she was having PIV sex with an actual man.

So this wasn't the first pregnant man but the 10 billionth pregnant woman or something like that...

Trying to have any discourse with a leftist on most anything that touches upon their secular religion of leftism, no matter how many educational credentials they have, is an exercise in futility.

Believe me, I've tried over the years from the inside of academia. When confronted with facts, the leftist academic squirms and then like an octopus throws out ink to cover its retreat getting down to personal insults.

I've seen a few single issue type advocates behave the same way on the right or when differences between different Christian sects are the topic of conversation but the right is overall more rational than the left because it relies much less on emotion than logic.

Local police union leader sensibly pointed out that the killin's by ICE were made possible by the lack of order. Earlier that union sent out an email that delicately but clearly said that inflammatory statements (by the ridiculous vile mayor and governor) were dangerous and made police tasks even more difficult. That earlier message also recognized morale issues (duh).

The vile absurd Walz called Homan "professional". Trump probably incorrectly posted that the stupid kid Frey was "playing with fire" by saying he would not enforce fed immigration law (this problem a is real and yuuge one but nothing illegal about it, just as the reverse situation as with AZ in 2011 is a disaster).

If you tell your enemy you will only shoot if provoked, they can ensure you never shoot at all. They'll come at you sideways, like the metaphor about catching wild hogs.

So let them go violent, let them charge us like mindless rabid zombies. If we were smarter and a little less noble, WE would be provoking THEM. Get it over with, shape the battlefield to wipe them out at a time and place of our choosing.

If you look at the OOB for the Soviet and Germans you see the former quickly outpacing the latter in men at the front which is odd, because Germany and its allies had a larger population then the Soviets.

How did they do it? Because America gave them most of their supplies. So Germany needed workers to make trucks and boots and all the rest - the Soviets had them shipped from America.

Absent American aid the Soviets fall in 1943.

Most college age kids probably don't know there were two World Wars nor could point to where on the map Russia was. They probably consider Hogan's Heroes as a documentary.

Most people at college are there to network, get credentials for a job, and party/hookup.

Few if any were there for educating themselves nor learning how to keep educating themselves throughout life. Other things to them are more important than education no matter how much they claim otherwise.

If you are lucky, as a professor, you can get students to remember about three major points from a whole semester long class.

But, at least a few in any class will go on to try to deepen their understanding of what you taught them and how you taught them to research such matters for themselves.

198 A careful review of the spraying suggests that Anthony Kazmierczak may not have acted alone. The grassy knoll to the west of the event would provide a second sprayer a more accurate target, which would require an accomplice to open the window in that direction. Slowing down the footage and listening to the audio indicates what may have been three sprayers. Take a look at how Omar reacts - clearly, it's Somali back and to the left. Somali back and to the left. Another bit of footage provided by a gentleman named Zap Rosdower is useful in portraying this.

IIRC Hitler expected the western allies to back down over Danzig like they had over the Sudetenland.

They didn't and the war started though obviously the war is on Hitler's card not theirs. But, even more to this point the leader of Britain in 1939 was Neville Chamberlain anyway.

Churchill favored responding to Germany with force but...that was the only rational response after 1938 anyway and he became PM because that became very very obvious after WWII started.

Lloyd will tell you, but the Comintern were in a death struggle with the Anarchists. This was done while the Anarchist militias were holding the lines against the Nationalists during the trench warfare section of the war. The Communists brought the officers back to Barcelona and such places, arrested them and then had them stuffed into prisons, andshot purged; the rank and file that did not object got shuffled into the regular Republican army.

A friend who knew old soldiers in Spain when they were still alive said that when the Nationalists took a town they would look in the jail to see who was left there instead of impressed into the defensive lines, and since it was probably all arrested Anarchists, they just shot them out of hand to be sure

Command Sergeant Major is a “lateral” promotion, the rank he would have held.

Had he not resigned just before his unit deployed to Iraq. It is the highest enlisted rank in the organization.

IIRC they expected Poland to hold out for months giving them time to call up the whole French Army - which had a much slower process to call up then the Germans had.

Interestingly early French probing attacks into Germany had the potential to force Germany to pull back troops from the attack on Poland but they ended them for some reason I can't remember.

I think Orwell is self serving and does not have enough background on Spain or the condition Spain was in economically after the collapse of the Colonial empire to have any real conclusion other than pain hurts and treason is bad.
I think he also had the same defects when he wrote about anything outside of his own little world within England, though.
His fiction was good, his reporting is good, but I think his analysis of what it meant was lacking.

Picture this, a railroad car in the Compiègne Forest, near the town of Compiègne, the 11th of November 1918, Field Marshal Foch and a group of generals from the French and German High Command are having tea and poring over the terms of the armistice, largely written by Foch....

(Which includes our Vice President and Secretary of State.)

Ilhan Omar "Attacked"...
with...
Water...

Some claim it was staged.

Including Trump.

Or, at least, he jokes that she "probably" sprayed herself, while also not caring if she did nor not.

Rachel Scott
@rachelvscott

Just spoke to Pres. Trump. I asked him if he had seen the video of Rep. Omar being attacked and sprayed by a substance.

"No. I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud. I really don't think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her," the president said.

I asked again if he had seen the video.

"I haven't seen it. No, no. I hope I don't have to bother."


I doubt it was staged. I think it's more of, what do you call it, a nothingburger.

Let me react as the left reacted to Trump being shot: It looks staged to me. I don't see any proof she was actually hit.

She doesn't rush to the hospital, because she recognizes the liquid as harmless. Probably just water.

So Trump faces two assassins and the left refuses to stop calling him an Existential Hitler Who Must be Removed by Any Means Necessary, and Ilhan Omar gets sprayed with -- apparently -- plain water which poses no threat whatsoever but we're all supposed to stop accusing her of the crimes she's plainly guilty of.

The Minneapolis police finally managed to arrest a protester:

If the below is true, he wasn't politically motivated. He was just angry at his ex-wife, a big Ilhan Omar supporter.


Ilhan Omar immediately began praising herself and Victim Farming.

12 More convincing, however, is her reaction to the assault. At no point does she seem genuinely concerned for her own well-being. She barely flinches when she’s sprayed, and instead of backing off, she approaches the attacker. And despite being sprayed with an unknown, pungent substance, she continued the town hall.

That's Matt Margolis at PJMedia. Her not even bothering to get the smelly substance washed off of her looks like she already knew what it was and was unconcerned.

Modern day "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a bull moose"

Whatever he sprayed at her, he almost totally missed. People on the video were saying it smelled terrible.

You can tell she’s been taking self defense training. We should all follow her example. I hate that people hate on her so much. She's braver than any MAGA asshats

The controversy led to a split within the Institute, with then-president Crane accusing Charles Koch of trying to “transform Cato from an independent, nonpartisan research organization into a political entity that might better support his partisan agenda.” In June of 2012, Charles and David Koch agreed to end their lawsuit over the shares in exchange for Crane retiring from his position as president and CEO of the Cato Institute.

Happy news - In December 1993, the U.S. Army flew Aidid to Addis Ababa to engage in peace talks. During a battle in Mogadishu between his militia and the forces of his former ally Osman Ali Atto, Aidid was fatally wounded by a sniper and later died on 2 August 1996.

In an interesting historical note, the Pharaoh most likely to have reigned during the Exodus has nasty poxes all over his corpse and his first born was dead as a teenager in the same tomb complex.

Fear the Lord and his judgment is the beginning of wisdom for he always wins in the end.

157 Zero reaction at all, no basic sense of self-preservation. If an unknown person sprays you with an unknown liquid, you should probably have some kind of reaction like jumping back, examining yourself, etc.

One of two things is true:

or
2) She's too stupid to attempt to save herself when attacked by an unknown person.

Let's not be too hasty here. We've all seen videos of Karens who have never faced consequences before do the same. I bet Omar wouldn't raise her hand to a SOMALI man, but some white bum looking dude, while she's surrounded by security? She'd feel untouchable.

This is the best indication it's staged. Why would she and her people assume it's harmless? A lunatic sprays me with an unknown substance and I'm going to the hospital. For all I know its got anthrax or ricin or something in it.

Exactly! Maybe it's my lab background but the first priorities would be to get that spray bottle into a lab and find out what's in it and also get everyone in the room into some sort of quarantine under medical supervision -how do you know they're not infected with some deadly infectious virus? Half of Minnesota could be dead by the weekend, half the country in a week......

239 I mean honestly? Yeah they can. Unless you're in leadership or have specific credible threats against you (as a member of Congress), you won't have a security detail. You can pay some big dude to be your bouncer, which it appears BroFo has done, but there's no kind of security sweeps, metal detectors, or screening of people at these random events. Anyone can show up and sit wherever they like.

He ordered a new mid-decade census that explicitly doesn't count illegals in the first couple of weeks of his second term.

I've heard nothing of it since, and I've even looked at the Census Bureau's website.

Still, if Democrats can get another radical in charge of the Census for 2030 like they did for 2020 right after Biden won, they can mitigate a lot of the damage. I think all of the new analysis now is based on the idea that 2020 was relatively clean...which the Bureau admits itself that it wasn't.

The shifts in 2030 will be...large.

The mid-decade census was probably not ever going to be used for reapportionment. That would require an act of Congress, I believe.

The mid-decade census was only ever going to be for informational purposes.

316 Saw a lefty thread where the poster argued:

1) Illegals have no impact on our elections

2) Apportionment counts all people citizens, legal residents or not and it is supposed to be that way

Now...a bunch of people pointed out 1 and 2 are at odds. Even if millions of illegals were not voting (or more accurately having votes cast for them) they'd still affect our elections by giving illegal friendly areas more electoral votes.

The response from the left? THAT's RACIST

347 A careful review of the spraying suggests that Anthony Kazmierczak may not have acted alone. The grassy knoll to the west of the event would provide a second sprayer a more accurate target, which would require an accomplice to open the window in that direction. Slowing down the footage and listening to the audio indicates what may have been three sprayers. Take a look at how Omar reacts - clearly, it's Somali back and to the left. Somali back and to the left. Another bit of footage provided by a gentleman named Zap Rosdower is useful in portraying this.

Then to read the squirter has a trans kid, well, what do I know?

I also read that the "nurse" who wanted to kill ICE patients advised her little minions to find poison ivy and make a liquid and squirt it on people. Wear gloves, though.

Meaningless Punishments

There is no more sure-fire way to never face meaningful punishment than to be a major, well-connected American corporation. Even politicians sometimes go down for Party defense purposes, but the powerful corporation never does. Even "landmark" punishments are mere slaps on the wrist, and they laugh all the way to the bank. There is a prime example of this in the news now, courtesy of everyone's favorite big tech hypercorp: Alphabet.

Alphabet - which Google renamed itself when that company decided its original name wasn't quite sinister enough - has settled a class-action lawsuit for recording people's conversations and using them for advertising. The thing everyone assumed Alphabet was doing, and that Alphabet insisted up and down it was not doing, turned out to be something Alphabet was doing. Shocker of the century there. Alphabet is settling its privacy case and paying a penalty.

The issue is simple. Alphabet would - they claim by accident - record information picked up by its "assistant" system (the "Hey Google ..." thing) even when it wasn't activated or was ostensibly in standby. That was then recorded and used for advertising purposes. This is a fatal flaw in all voice-activated systems - it can't hear you if it isn't listening - but Alphabet and the rest all uniformly claim that there is no recording unless activated. That turned out, against all odds, to be untrue.

This is on the heels of a prior settlement for the same thing from Apple last year. Apple would illegitimately record information through its "Siri" assistant. Unlike Alphabet, Apple claims they never sold the data or used it for marketing, but who knows. Nothing is off limits for Big Tech. I am just waiting for Amazon's turn.

So what was the punishment? Nothing. Alphabet is settling for $68 million. Apple settled for $95 million a year ago. How much a penalty is that? Well, let's see.

In the first quarter of 2025, Alphabet racked up $66.885 billion in advertising revenue - not counting YouTube. The overall company net profit that quarter was $34.54 billion. So they spied on their customers - and lied about it - for almost a decade and the penalty amounts to 0.2% of the company's first-quarter profits last year. By comparison, Apple got positively screwed. In the quarter before its settlement, it earned a paltry $36.33 billion in net profit, so its settlement was a staggering 2.6% of the quarterly profit!

It's nothing new. Remember in 2009 when Pfizer paid record-setting penalties for lying about drugs, paying kickbacks and various other frauds for years? That one was a big penalty. It was record-setting at the time, at $2.3 billion including criminal penalties. That amounted to just over a quarter of its 2009 profits. For years and years of misbehavior. That will dent the margins, but isn't much more than a shrug in the grand scheme of things. These aren't punishments, these are merely the "cost of doing business." Do whatever you want, commit whatever crimes you please, lie about it for years, and settle it for a couple of points off one quarter's profits unless you're really unlucky. In that worst-case scenario, the penalty might be an entire quarter's profits.

Lie. Cheat. Steal. Spy. Bribe. Kill. Abuse your customers. Buy politicians. Whatever. Just be a well-connected mega-corp and you'll get the corporate equivalent of a night in the drunk tank. Must be nice.

34 There are two sides to this. Fines or penalties against the company are felt mostly by shareholders, who are innocent of the punished conduct. Why should they be punished?

The punishments should be levied at the individuals at the company responsible for the misconduct. Stop laughing. No, seriously. I'm serious, you guys.

These fines and penalties are nothing more than another form of corporate tax, of course. If alfagbet wasn't guilty of this, the regulators would find something else.

This is exactly what is going on in Europe, with multi-billion (with a "b") penalties imposed against US-based companies for made-up bullshit. This is a very serious problem that is flying under the radar. Trump should add it to his list of grievances against these fuckers. If they are targeting our companies, we should target theirs.

There’s a shortage of nurses. She’ll be fine. In a few weeks/months she’ll be hired somewhere else with no fanfare. Nursing is an ultra far left community. Her “sisters” will take care of her.

And the financial penalties don't really hurt the corporations, they hurt the innocent stockholders. So yes - compensate the victims, but don't then victimize the shareholders.

Forget financial penalties - some of these people need to go to jail. Punish the perpetrators of the fraud, not the innocent share holders. Spoken as a shareholder of the named companies and others who has seen the value of his holdings decline at times because of these penalties.

Posted by: rickb223
========
Worse, what she was doing was recommending killing them without appearing to do so directly. The particular drug she mentioned is paralyzes breathing for intubation and requires forced mechanical oxygen intake in order to keep the patient alive. There is no antidote. Absent intubation and forced ventilation, the person dies, quickly, and with few traces.

There have been several murder cases involving the drug being used to off spouses, etc.

I am facing intubation for upcoming spinal surgery and that exact drug is probably going to be used. That nurse cockroach should lose all certifications as no sane insurance company would cover a woman recommending murder for political reasons.

I think she will be uninsurable as she is an nurse anesthetist and what she recommended would kill patients. That exposes hospitals and surgery centers using her to enormous liability if they do and she kills a patient or even if a patient dies under her watch.

Corporations in our system act entailed estates filled by a new aristocracy of titled positions like CEO, CFO, etc.

Insurance. They’ve been looking past a lot of skeevy stuff. For a long, long time. Because they are forced to. There’s more regulations on them then any other industry perhaps. This would be good, or could be, but like everything else has been twisted to leftist pressure.

For example. Any life insurance policy worth its salt would have an exclusion for biological warfare agents. WuHan Flu. Not a peep about that. Why? Because they know better.

Same with experimental medical trials. That’s what the “vaccine” is. Insurance doesn’t cover emergency experimental drugs that have not received FDA approval.

If there weren’t regulatory capture, the insurance industry could have been invaluable at blowing the entire debacle up. “We ain’t paying out for deaths caused by biological weapons tweaked for increased transmission”. Note well they didn’t say shit.

127 Cases of "angel of mercy" killings have occurred for decades (even centuries). They typically involve an attention-seeking wannabe hero mentality. Even lower level nurses can find a way to provoke a life-threatening crisis in order to revel in the adrenaline rush of being in on the resuscitation. A Certified Nurse Anesthetist publicly musing on using curare to paralyze a patient's breathing for political differences takes it to a whole different level. Access to drugs like curare and fentanyl is quite easily managed by a CNA and repurposed for murderous uses.

Well, I thought this was funny. When I was in law school shortly after Challenger, we were reading a case regarding a tourist stage coach that had overturned injuring passengers. The cause was a faulty singletree. (Although we didn't know it, it is a small wooden or metal bar behind a harnessed horse used to balance the pull of a driving horse.) The professor asked a student to tell what a singletree is. Without missing a beat she responded, "a low tech O ring."

When I was a baby lawyer, I was working a case that involved Russian gas companies, and by extension certain oligarchs. These are very very very bad dudes.

The case was pending in Russia. We of course had no chance to win. But just to ensure that the case would be decided in favor of the oligarchs, they sent a message to one of the judges who was seen as potentially neutral.

The message? They blew up this judge's car with an RPG on his way to the courthouse. Right in the middle of the street. I was not there at the time, but the partner in charge was in a separate car about 100 feet away. He saw it.

Insurers and lawyers are going to be poring over these records as eventually almost every medical practioner has to deal with the legal system and insurance system over time.

It would be as if I, as a driver, was posting videos of me breaking speed and traffic laws and my insurance company takes umbrage and cancels my coverage and/or law enforcement uses that to prosecute me. Hearsay exceptions always include statements against interest by a witness as to their veracity, outlook, etc.

Same reason to not post stupid vigilante fantasies on gun threads or discussion boards. Same with posting while drunk or stoned. There is no real anonymity if a law firm or prosecutor feels otherwise.

Always figure that the internet is forever and not a place to serve as an emotional venting apparatus nor idiotic social signalling purposes advocating illegal or immoral acts.

176 It is doubly against society's interest to be lenient with corporations, first because of failing to disincentivize the actions against interest, and perhaps even more importantly, said antisocial behavior and its permittedness is then used by socialist conmen in their scam patter. Even if there is some weirdo out there who actually loves corporations, he must then loathe socialists at least as much as normal people do; and so corporations need to be held to account in a meaningful way, so that their misbehavior can't be used by truly evil men to agitate for something even worse.

If you need an analogy, it's like the anecdote told by a union organizer of how he was on a flight next to an executive, and freely told him the secret of how to prevent union organizing: fire the bad managers. He knew they wouldn't use the secret, and they didn't. Well, firing the bad corporations to prevent socialist organizing is our macro equivalent.

Musk is an entrepreneur which is a horse of a different color compared to CEOs. Same relationship as owning a store as a partner versus having a manager run it.

CEO does not equate to entrepreneur no matter how much many of these dotards think it does. An entrepreneur risks his own fortune as an owner-partial or not, a CEO risks the money of shareholders. An entrepreneur may be a CEO in title because they own a big proportion of the company but few CEOs are entrepreneurs under that metric.

189 In the 1980s under Reagan business taxes were reduced. Before st the end of the year after looking at their profits corporations had a choice declare high profits and Psy taxes on them. Or reinvest back inuo the company with both infrastructure and human resources
Or
Pay those profits out in races.

After businesses didn't have to pay high taxes they stopped growing the business

Long ago, I read an essay from a nursing home RN in an undergrad critical thinking class where she wrote almost poetically about the suffering of a patient who had dementia and cripplingly painful physical ailments. She caressed his head and injected him with an OD of morphine. She wrote of her gratification as she watched his pained expression turn to peaceful eternal sleep.

The class began discussing the essay, with all these kids barely out of high school expressing admiration for the RN's courage in bringing him peace. When the professor asked me about it, I simply stated "She wasn't courageous, she was pathological. She's a fucking serial killer." Which was exactly the point that the prof was making.

I have no doubt that those clueless college brats learned that admiration for pure evil in their high school classrooms.

207 The problem is that "The Corporation" takes "The Punishment".
Hah! That's like talking about punishing a glass of water.
No, these decisions that result in illegal activity are made by real flesh and blood humans. "The algorithm did it!" No, whoever wrote that code did it, or whoever entered the data to cause the algorithm to produce that result did it.
Yes, it can get damned complicated, but that's the reason we have courts and trials. We split criminal cases into guilt and punishment sections. There's no reason we can't add another phase: who? Guilt - was the a violation of the law by "The Corporation"? Who - which individual(s) made the decision. Punishment - $ for the company and time for the people.
Until we start applying "The Punishment" to the real.people making the decisions - and profiting by them - it'll remain "a cost of doing business" and the behavior will continue.
Luigi Mangione tried to apply vigilante "justice" in the only way he could. Maybe he's just a psychopath, but if not, I'd bet that he would have been satisfied by bankrupting the United board, but neither he nor we have that power now. Until we do, bad things will continue to.happen, in both directions.

I think Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill in NJ are the next generation of Democrats being groomed for presidency. The major question is whether Kamala runs in 2028.

The Democrat party has an issue where at least half of their party are minorities and that makes running people of pallor more difficult in presidential primaries. AWFLs are probably a plurality in the party but not a majority anymore and that is one of the problems with Gavin. Democrats will still vote for a person of pallor on the national ticket as the lesser of evils in a general but primaries are becoming a mess for Democrats based on identity politics.

Even politically, this is a tone deaf stupid virtue signal that has a snowball's chance in hell of being enacted and pisses off at least half or more of his constituency in KY.

Urban areas should be turned into reservations across the US. That way, they would not pollute state politics nor be able to dominate them from urban fraud shitholes. They could only plague each other. And that actually fits better with political maps of the US anyway--vast seas of red with isolated blue urban counties that somehow fraud themselves into power in many states.

And they use that power, like in CO, to disenfranchise, and impoverish, and pester those outside the urban areas in order to rule from blue redoubts.

427 I was too harsh on Sowell. It isn't nuts, just incomplete

The coastline in Africa probably contributed to their slow progress, but I think a better perspective is that it takes a very special geography to create the conditions for progress.

Greece had competitive cities that had easy trade, and easy defense. Rome achieved the same in the Med., but on a bigger scale as technology advanced. England, Spain,... did the same on the Atlantic with better tech still.

So the coastline is part of it, but in my view there are lots of good and bad coastlines and that is not enough to explain it. The important part is the ability to defend from outside attack and develop independently and competitively with trading partners. The coastline is important for that, but you also need mountains to prevent attack from land, and you need technology to take advantage of those ports for trade and exchange.

Five types of birds have been captured. The square on the floor between the two groups looks like it contains a sea star sitting in water. Are the robed things really disguised sea creatures?

I'm not big on surrealism. The painting is interesting - with lots of symbolism beyond my grasp - but it makes me uneasy. Judgement. What one group is capable of doing to others.

I would pass hanging but appreciate the lesson. thanks.

BTW Laurel Benjamin wrote The Bird Men after Leonora Carrington's “The Bird Men of Burnley.” And, yes, it's wacked too.

The Morning Report — 1/28/26

BroFoMelt.jpg

Good morning kids. And the word of the day is "deescalation." And it makes my head explode for reasons that should be all too obvious to anyone with eyes to see. Those who are using this word are the same ones who objected to Israel going after Hamas after its mass-wave pogrom that slaughtered scores of innocent people and kidnapped/tortured hundreds more, the remains of the last one at long last recovered and returned home only a day or so ago.

What ICE and law enforcement are doing in Minneapolis and elsewhere in the nation is merely their duty in rounding up illegal aliens be they merely border-jumpers or violent thugs on top of it. Anyone who objects to this, let alone attempts to impede them carrying out their mission either via direct violent confrontation or political sabotage is engaging in the most severe of felonious acts which come right up to and perhaps cross the line into actual Insurrection.

And so, what is needed is a massive ESCALATION in response to this attack on our government, the rule of law and the safety and security of the citizenry so that those engaging in this insurrection are mercilessly crushed, so as to send an unmistakable message that lawlessness in all its forms will not be tolerated.


If you think I'm engaging in hyperbole. There is a definite nexus between Democrat lawmakers and their stormtroopers on the streets.

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson (D) stated Monday that the state government aims to “partner” with the anti-ICE groups illegally tracking and hounding federal law enforcement agents.

The governor expressed support for the anti-ICE insurgency in his state just one day before the FBI launched an investigation into the Signal chat groups organizing the the anti-ICE insurgency in Minnesota.

Ferguson held a press conference alongside Washington’s Attorney General Nick Brown (D.) to condemn ICE after two agitators in Minnesota were fatally shot by federal agents. Brown was widely criticized last month after he warned independent journalists to stop investigating alleged fraudulent Somali daycare centers in the state or they could be charged with a hate crime.

The governor told reporters that what is happening in Minnesota and Washington is “community, individuals, and grass roots organizations doing their part to stand up for their fellow residents.”

. . . In a long and sobering post on X, reacting to the new information, former Special Forces Warrant Officer, Eric Schwalm compared the anti-ICE effort in Minneapolis to the insurgencies he fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“With multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close,” Schwalm stated. “From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly. What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t ‘protest.’ It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.”

And investigator and Freedom Fighter extraordinaire Andy Ngo is yet again doing yeoman's work in exposing the sophisticated yet all-too-familiar techniques of leftist political terrorism

Andy Ngo, a citizen journalist known for his unmasking of Antifa activists and their violent tactics, infiltrated some radical left Signal groups in Minnesota and discovered the rampant paranoia among the activists who didn't trust anyone, especially other activists.
The tactics being used, Ngo observed, "are an evolution of methods tested during the deadly 2020 BLM–Antifa riots, which were centered largely in the Twin Cities."
"In recent weeks, numerous Antifa-linked revolutionary anarchist collectives have promoted organizing guides that explicitly instruct extremists on how to carry out obstructionist campaigns," says Ngo. The guides recommend using the Signal messaging app to maintain operational security.
It's the operations that are problematic. "Signal has become the preferred platform for mass coordination — used to share real-time locations, vehicle descriptions, and individual targets, as well as tips for minimizing legal accountability," writes Ngo. This is how the activists are able to show up at ICE enforcement actions almost as soon as agents start arriving on the scene. . . I'm familiar with messaging among some radical groups in Europe during the 1970s. Baader-Meinhof Group, a far-left West German Communist terrorist group active in the 1970s, communicated almost exclusively using intelligence agency methods such as drop boxes and "cut-outs."
Baader-Meinhof and other radical leftists of the time were paranoid about security, but they still managed to have a small circle where trust was an absolute necessity. 
Obviously, the radicals today are sacrificing security for instant communications, but this has bred hysterical fear and, almost certainly, hindered their efforts to organize and obstruct ICE operations.

While it's encouraging that as Ngo notes their paranoia may be hampering their efforts, at the same time they have a truly frightenng level of political and legal cover afforded them by elected officials and perhaps allies in local law enforcement itself. Not to put too fine a point on it but this Bob Ferguson as well as Walz, Frey and everyone else engaging in this needs to swing from a gallows.

Because as is painfully obvious or should be by now, that is exactly what they have in mind for all of us.

Democrat Ohio Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan announced a plan to execute President Donald Trump, following a hypothetical trial and guilty verdict, in a video posted to X on Tuesday. In the viral video Forhan stated that he would pursue the president’s conviction, resulting in capital punishment. . . “I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan stated. “I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence, presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment.”

“That is what I mean when I say I am going to kill Donald Trump,” he ended.

He may be a low rent Roland Freisler but I'll take him at his word.


So, evidently Bro-Fo Omar was doused with some sort of liquid at a town-hall meeting. I don't think it was Jewish Holy water (matzo ball soup) nor was she given the Victor Riesel treatment, not that she doesn't deserve it, but hey, If she soiled her Playtex 18-hour burqa, sowing and reaping baby.

Have a great day.

MN is, apparently, finally cooperating with the feds and using their police to break up the 'protesters'. Of course, this just means that they'll be neither shot nor charged but, at least, it gets them out of the way.

And then never send a single dime from Washington to that state again. You're on your own. Ring the place with checkpoints. Sanction any flights or shipping out of it as unable to be secured properly. Shut the state down and let it collapse entirely. Crime? Sorry. Emergencies? Good luck!

28 I think a lot of people, our political betters included do not understand the distinction between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol Services (BPS).

They're not the same. ICE is more of a "law enforcement" arm while BPS is more into the apprehension and detainment of illegals. BPS has been the tip of the proverbial spear in Minneapolis, not ICE.

It was BPS that was pulled out of the city after their agents were caught on video shooting Pretti. ICE is still there and isn't leaving.

30 This is the crack they're wedging open. They're experts at this. They will force it open wider and wider, until these riots are nationwide, because they smell weakness like a dog smells bacon.

It doesn't have to be this way.

As the man notes, they're employing asymmetrical insurgency tactics here. So, Trump should do what we should have done during GWoT... respond with overwhelming force at all levels and stifle the uprising in its cradle.

If a bunch of Leftists get turned into cherry cobbler, so be it - it won't take many. These aren't religious fanatics or people fighting for their country. They're spoiled rotten middle class monster babies. They'll break and run the instant bodies start dropping for real.

But more importantly, it will illustrate to the entire country that crybullying is no longer an effective tactic. No more crying us into a corner. Then THEY will look weak, and the Party can't stand that. Literally. If they aren't perceived as the stronger horse, they have nothing else to fall back on.

In blue states and blue cities we have seen that the jury system has failed. Democrats are completely incompatible with a Constitutional Republic and never should be allowed to participate in any meaningful way.

If anyone should know that the court and jury system has completely failed, it should be how and where PDJT spent his summer in 2024.

Heck, just look at blue cities and states today where extortionists, murderers, gang bangers issuing murder for hire, and pedophiles are let off, judges over turning guilty verdicts and personally escorting the criminals secretly out of buildings.

Whether I am ready to dissolve this former Constitutional Republic or not, the decision has been made. Us Normies are playing by a set of rules to a game that has already been ended

144 "The Fraud Scandal Is A Bigger Problem Than Cops Can Fix"

It is for the foreseeable future. Here's a recap of a comment I posted last week on the subject -

First, you need to identify a large group of honest people. From that group, identify the ones who will work honestly and diligently at a mostly thankless job, for government pay. From that that group, identify the ones who have the character and personality to doggedly investigate and pursue fraud suspicion in the face of possible continual threats, verbal abuse, pressure from higher-ups, negative media coverage. etc.

Train members of the final group to do financial fraud investigations. Some will fail. The remainder are your honest, diligent, undaunted workers.

Had to be careful though because a few spots along the trail had been in the shade so still hard and slick…. Fortunately I didn’t fall. I’ll venture out after work again today and it might be more treacherous; instead of smooth and crunchy now they’ll be lots of bumps from the footprints made yesterday.

I've been told I'm not supposed to like him by a media that hates masculine winners.

But, objectively, as a Packers fan, he's as good as Lombardi.
He knows how to win, he gets his players to play, and he sees rules as suggestions.

You know why he always wore those ratty-ass hoodies?
B/c he wanted to wear a suit, like the coaches of old.
But the NFL, due to their licensing agreement require coaches to wear licensed apparel.
He said, fine. But the rule didn't say he couldn't alter it or require that it be in good condition.

A one-man, decades-long FU protest that they couldn't say shit about.

That alone puts him in the Hall of Fame in my book.

Been in business since 1972, and other than the magazines on the racks, very little in that barber shop has changed since 1972. It's like stepping into a time capsule.

Vintage country music playing, the smell of Barbicide, straight razors being stropped. The only thing missing from the old days is the cigarette/cigar smoke. I love it. Walking out of the barber shop feels like stepping out of a time machine back into the future.

Normally I tried during my working life to balance withholding vis-a-vis taxes so I got back, or paid, a small amount -- no gigantic refund that provided an interest-free loan to the Feds, no gigantic payment in April.

I was a NASA employee at JSC. I watched it live with a dozen others in a manager's office having a TV. We were all stunned to silence for many minutes after. I don't recall anyone saying a word, as we slowly and individually filed out. I was stunned that the failure cause appeared to be the External Tank. I, and I believe most others at JSC, believed any ascent failure would be caused by an explosion of one of the main engines.

As it occurred I hoped and expected the Orbiter Challenger would emerge unharmed from the fire and smoke. In less than two seconds I knew it wasn't going to happen. A very bad, sad, day.

319 I saw a clip from Jason Pargin (David Wong) I thought interesting. He asked, suppose you build a completely new society - you start from scratch no governments, no corporations, none of that.

The building you keep your food in gets damaged in a winter storm and you need 100 people to immediately show up to fix it and only 50 do. How do you get the other 50? Historically there have been three answers: threaten people into doing the work, pay people to do the work, or use social pressure to force them to do the work. And no you don't get to wave a magic wand and claim people will just always show up to do this sort of work because you didn't change human nature those people that don't show up believe they have good reasons not to

Now, Pargin is a left leaning guy and is audience is as well. I read the comments and it was about 70% of people taking the easy way out claiming people would just do the work because...magic and 30% arguing of course you have to pay people to do work which I'll be honest is I assume the political break down of his commenters - 70% left 30% right...

Years later, Columbia exploded over our heads here in East Texas, I heard it.

(Or at least before they admitted it)

Posted by: Tom Servo at January 28, 2026 09:03 AM (Sxl5b)


Believe it or not, you and the people in your area of Texas knew about the destruction of Columbia maybe two minutes before Mission Control in Houston did. All we had was nothing - no Orbiter downlink data and no radar returns on Columbia at the KSC landing site, where those were overdue. We were trying to figure out why. It took phone calls from people off-work and watching CNN to get Mission Control to switch TVs to CNN and see the live vapor trails and replays to realize what had happened.

RINO carpetbagger Chris Collins, with a conservative score LOWER than Ilhan Omar, is spending millions of dollars in Byron Donalds' Florida Congressional District 19 to paint himself as "conservative MAGA" in the primary

He scored *LOWER* than Ilhan Omar, and nearly the same as AOC!

Chris Collins 2019 score: 35%
Ilhan Omar: 38%
AOC: 33%

Collins was also previously arrested for INSIDER TRADING while in Congress when he was a New York congressman.

There is a reason he is spending millions of dollars to try and repair his image in the eyes of GOP voters.

They can't "just arrest the insurrectionist traitors already". They need an arrest warrant. That means that they either need a federal judge to issue one, or they need a grand jury to issue one.

From above, "And the word of the day is "deescalation."

There's no point that this administration can deescalate to so that the progressive Left will be content. None.

ICE has been studied and tested as to its strengths and weaknesses, and it can spend millions more on body cameras for immigration enforcement agents and direct the department to expand training on conflict de-escalation during public interactions, it won't matter.

>Brookings ed, Commentary, 'ICE expansion has outpaced accountability. What are the remedies?'

Lovely article. It ends, "Altogether, as ICE continues to face allegations over its methods, fostering a system built on fairness and respect for human rights becomes paramount. By addressing these concerns, the U.S. can strive toward a more just approach to immigration enforcement.

Ultimately, the goal should be to safeguard two things at the same time: national security, and the dignity and rights of every individual within our borders."

Oh, FFS. More lovely words, largely meaningless because they & theirs have different spaces & protections.

31 Fen, here is something from Wiki about Margaret Becker I didn't know. "However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Becker occasionally encountered controversy in the world of Contemporary Christian music because she is a Roman Catholic; some Christian stores refused to carry her album, and her concert appearances were sometimes picketed."

I don't think her lyrics or the message of her songs is specifically Catholic-oriented. Personally I don't see that it matters, but troublemakers gonna troublemake no matter what.

Little Dagny's papers say she is a "black [meaning gray] mackerel tortie." She does not look like any tortoiseshell I ever saw; she looks more like a raccoon. But she has some tan dusted in with her gray (and black stripes) and some white on her face. That makes her a tricolor, I suppose.

42 Chinese state-linked hackers reportedly accessed mobile phones “at the heart of Downing Street” as part of a long-running cyber-espionage campaign targeting telecom networks worldwide, according to Fox News.

U.S. intelligence agencies believe the breaches began as early as 2021, though they were publicly revealed in 2024 after American officials warned allies about widespread intrusions into global telecommunications systems.

The campaign targeted several countries, including the U.S. and members of the Five Eyes alliance. Investigators say the attackers may have gained access to the data of millions, with the ability to monitor calls, read messages, and track locations.

Radio problems: We have many of those. Frustrating when trying to hear what other drivers are saying.

DEF: The bane of our existence right now due to the DEF freezing up in the tank, or sensors involving the DEF system freezing up or failing, causing the engines to go into "derated torque" as a way of nudging the driver to take the vehicle in for service.

So much on the new busses seems to be built fragile compared to the older buses from 10+ years ago. Sure the new ones ride nice but it doesn't seem to take much to break 'em, and the amount of computerization in them seems to cause problems with fixing and clearing error codes.

Lastly, our mechanics (bless 'em) look overworked and haggard right now. I wish there was something I could do for them to improve their situation other than just thanking them for their hard work.

49 A few years back I test-drove a used 2009 Mercedes E-Class, their diesel sedan of that year. It rode a little too stiffly for me on these horrible roads. And my mechanic advised me that in his experience diesels were best on long-distance runs and commutes, that they tended to be difficult (whatever that meant) when used for stop-and-go city driving. But it was a beauty, and the old "tock-tock-tock" of the '80s diesels was almost completely absent.

She does and she does, and I did send pics when they were younger. Time to do it again, perhaps with a side-by-side comparison of kitten to adult. Stirling looked as a kitten very much as he does now, just smaller; you could tell what he would grow into. Dagny, almost four now, has changed and matured amazingly in her looks. The usual wisdom is that Siberians, and Maine Coons too, don't fully mature until they are three to five years old.

94 I have a product recommendation for anyone with joint pain: Buy a cryotherapy machine. The fancy name is a surprisingly simple product: load water and ice into a handheld insulated cooler where a small electric motor pushes the cold water out through a hose (a second hose recycles the water back into the cooler) and into a pad you strap around your injured joint, in my case a knee.

It's instant relief. I love my machine.

But they believe that we will have regrets. It's pretty obviously a successful tactic, given the many shrines which have been put up for Good and Pretti. The fact that they got the Black Panthers to speak out on the matter (and tell them to keep the BP name out they fucking mouths) just shows the righteousness of their cause.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - January 27, 2026 [Doof]

doof-snowy-sahara.jpg

Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT is here for all of your end of day needs. OK maybe not all of them. But certainly SOME of them! Come on in, see what's in store, and let us know what's on your mind tonight.

***


Probably didn't have that "new car smell"

Elderly Man Driving Busted Up Truck Was a Joke Meme Until Stranger’s Heart-warming Idea to Crowdfund a New One

doof-Franken-truck.jpg

His truck was the vehicle equivalent of Frankenstein, a green mish-mash of dents and dings and disjointed panels.

The 2000 Chevy Silverado became something of a famous eyesore in South Bend, Indiana, earning sideways glances and second looks wherever Mo Riles went.

***

Sure, Mo heard the jokes and saw the sideways glances—but the truck ran just fine. The state of Indiana doesn’t require inspections. And Mo, who worked at a Dollar Tree store, wasn’t in a financial position to upgrade, especially since facing recent health struggles.

So the truck rolled on… at least until Colin Crowel saw the photo. Colin, who owns Carguys Auto Detailing, wanted to do more than joke about the unsightly relic. He figured that whoever was driving it likely needed a pick-me-up, instead of another internet pun.

“I just thought there’s gotta be something more to why this truck looks like this,” Colin said. “I just put two and two together.”

He started a crowdfunding campaign, hoping to raise money for Riles and betting that community support would produce more than social media memes.

***

The results arrived quickly. Donations poured in from people all over northwest Indiana and beyond. More than 500 people pitched in to raise over $26,000 for Mo.

Video at the link. Hopefully the truck found a loving new owner. Maybe Rancher Bob could add it to his collection on his ranch!

-----

Opposite end of the spectrum as far as the condition of a vehicle. Need one of you smart car nerds to weigh in here. I've seen several of these types of stories lately, but some are obviously fake. I can't find anything overtly fishy about this one. What say you?

1965 Impala 409 Wagon Sat 42 Years, Moscow Family Hid the Time Capsule 42 Years in a Barn

doof-1965-impala-409-wagon.jpg

Out of the 2.38 million Chevys sold in 1965, the Impala claimed some 40%. The US domestic automobile production rose to a staggering 8.96 million vehicles that year – and the African gazelle was representing one out every nine of those cars. But the numbers dive drastically when we factor in the 409 powerhouse. With just 2,828 motors made for passenger cars, we’re talking “unicorn eggs” level of rarity.

And that’s just for starters: for the sake of piston-centric fun, let’s add one more bottleneck. Like, say, body style – and I insist that we chose my favorite full-size dress code, the station wagon. Chevrolet didn’t bother fitting people haulers with big-block muscle like it was an all-you-can-eat buffet, so just 82 Impala wagons came with a 409.

I won’t even bother to do the math, it’s more than self-explanatory by now, but I’m not done bringing more rarity into this talk just yet. Of those 82, how many stayed with one family for nearly six decades?

Please check out the link and let us know what you think.

-----

Which one of you did this?

Careful out there, "ladies"!

doof-ice-4skin.jpg

Any of you have a spare atom smasher laying around?

Scientists mimicking the Big Bang accidentally turn lead into gold

Medieval alchemists dreamed of transmuting lead into gold.

Today, we know that lead and gold are different elements, and no amount of chemistry can turn one into the other.

But our modern knowledge tells us the basic difference between an atom of lead and an atom of gold: the lead atom contains exactly three more protons. So can we create a gold atom by simply pulling three protons out of a lead atom?

As it turns out, we can. But it’s not easy.

Who's up for this challenge?

Cute little video I saw in an X comment (click on the top right bubble for the source). I'd imagine it's quite accurate. Probably the way blue states stay blue. The music is easily recognizable.

The electric bills of the Large Hadron Collider are astronomical. Plus the gold scatters all over the inside of the guideway, mixed with toxic thallium and mercury. It's a big mess to get the atoms of gold.

96 Number of moles (n) = number of atoms ÷ Avogadro's number
So:
n = (9.51 × 10²² ÷ (6.02214076 × 10²³
First, divide the coefficients: 9.51 ÷ 6.02214076 ≈ 1.579
Then handle the exponents: 10²² ÷ 10²³ = 10⁻¹
Putting it together: n ≈ 1.579 × 10⁻¹ = 0.158 moles (rounded to three significant figures, since 9.51 has three sig figs).

Now I have a story theme. A crack force of former Special Forces escape from the 2nd Division stockade in South Korea. They move north to confuse the military police.

Easily crossing the DMZ, they go cross country to just outside the well fortified, thick, concrete bunker holding the North Korean gold treasures.

Using a rudimentary lathe, concrete cutting thermo-lances, and carefully cutting rebar, they break into the store room where the North Korean leader has his greatest treasures.

They open the floor chests, which are refrigerators.

Insides are filled with gold. Kerry Gold butter.

It has been a decade or more since high school chemistry, but I think that 6.02 x 10^23 is the number of atoms it takes to get a macro scale mass (I forget if it's gram or kilogram) equal to the atomic weight of the element in question.

123 As much as we all liked hot cars, I don't think anyone I knew would have driven the station wagon!

Posted by: LRob in OK at January 27, 2026 10:19 PM (47diA)

I see a small number of station wagons showing up at cruise nights, but I think its because they are true survivor cars, or at most just got a new paint job. Occasionally you do see a true believer who think people will beat their door down to buy it. I'll never forget this one night a dude showed up with a pinto station wagon that for some unexplainable reason he was trying to hot rod. It ended up breaking down, was leaving a large puddle of oil under it. I said to another dude that maybe we should go see wtf is up. He says I don't have a pinto repair kit. I asked wtf a pinto repair kit was. He says " A can of beer and a hand grenade, pull the pin on the grenade and drink the beer".

140 Grandpa had a 65 Impala SS 396 red convertible that chickens shit on for years (in a bar). He co-signed a loan when an uncle bought it. Uncle missed one payment so grampstook it from until he paid up. Uncle never paid up... Years later, 85ish, my dad bought it... So it sat in one of his barns. For years with little to work on it. They liquidated everything in about 2000 to downsize. Sold it through local car collector network.

It's 61 years old and looks like it was in a museum. Saturday when I bought it, I drove across Florida 150 miles home and it cruised fine! A couple of upgrades and it's going to be my daughter's daily driver. She has an 'old soul' and wanted a classic car.
I always wanted a Corvette.... well, I found one in South Florida, a 1998 C5 convertible with 8,757 miles. It's almost 30 years old and looks like it just drove out the showroom. They're out there like treasure waiting to be dusted off and driven again.

185 Here's the secret to handling Valentines Day.

Have your "Great dinner, romantic evening" on February 13th. You have to go over the top for this, you can't phone it in with Applebees, and you have to provide some actual romance.

On February 14th, help cook at home (if you're single, help cook at her home or yours). Have fun with it and chill out. Then go out to a local "dive" bar around 9 or 10 o'clock and celebrate "Valentines Day" again. The sheer energy from the others who are there will remind her again that she loves you.

She won't go to work on February 15th with any complaints.

Saw a post on nextdoor. Libs freaking out that ICE was using Ring cams to surveil potential illegals needing deporting. Wasn't sure if was just a grand troll experiment.

203 By the way, the Pro Bowl should STOP handing out "backup" position designations since there is no ACTUAL "Pro Bowl" to be played. Handing the designation to that crappy Ravens QB who backed up Jackson years ago was bad enough, but handing a designation to Shedeur Sanders (I don't actually care how his first name is spelled--its stupid--his dad could have picked an actual name) is just silly.

Are we married to the same guy? Mine, either. He says, "I buy you flowers often because I want to." Then buys me something on Valentine's.

We used to give each other sarcastic Valentine cards.

I'm cooking a lot lately, so that's his. I did not cook as much in December due to NO SNOW weirdness. I have come out of that now and hope for a White Easter.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at January 27, 2026 11:10 PM (WONhk)

228 The Historical background of Valentine's Day is of somewhat questionable morality. Especially the part about the Roman Festival of Fertility and how men picked mistresses from jars. They rarely give you the low down on what was expected of those women, but it was Lupercalia, and you can guess.

Then the Pope got his hands on the holiday and you could say he attemped to pre-empt the "Pagan" ritual with an honoring of martyrs. That's a solid 180 degree turn.

I won't bore you with the evolution over time to today's rituals. BUT, and this is important. Every single explanation for modern day Valentine's Day describes and EXCHANGE of cards and gifts. It's not described as a day to put women on a pedistal of honor and pampering. Somewhere along the line a lot of women started slacking in their Valentine's Day obligations.

236 Younger readers might not know that the Pro Bowl used to be an actual football game, AFC vs NFC. But players started to second guess the wisdom of playing a meaningless 'all-star game' and risking injury, with the Super Bowl still to be played.

Only in outlaw territory could an illegal alien host a "town hall" event. She needs to be criminally prosecuted and deported.

By the way, "town hall" implies she has things to say and people in attendance have things to say back. Are we supposed that this illegal Muslim hag has any ability to handle crowds?

255 So MiladyJo & I have been finally watching the last season of Resident Alien, one per night. Today, though, we watched one this afternoon. Which means we're tempted to watch one more tonight. Which leaves us with only the last two episodes, which we will no doubt want to marathon.

I can't decide whether to watch one more tonight or delay gratification to savor the conclusion.

It's been a wacky show. And sustained quality. Such as it was.

300 Silver spot at $116.05 per oz. That means an average condition pre 1965 dime has $8.29 worth of silver in it. Gold Spot at $5253.40 per oz.

This silver price is not a speculative bubble like 1980 or 2011 - this is an actual physical short fall of silver; we have been using more silver than we have mined for each of the past 5 years.

301 {{{Salty}}} good night and I am so sorry that I missed you, your post struck a chord deep within me. I had to stop getting hubs stuff out of this because it put me in a very bad place mentally. Tonight's talk of Valentine's Day had me reminiscing quite a bit, because for hubs and me, Friday the 13th of February was our very first date. He asked me out for Valentine's Day and I told him that wouldn't work for me because it was my Mom's birthday and my Dad always took us all out to dinner that night. I really, really wanted to go on an official date with my future husband, we had flirted with each other for a while by then. So he took me out for a really nice dinner on the 13th, flowers and all that nice stuff, and ever since then, we used to make a really big deal out of Feb. 13th.

It is worse than that, the only real trading was in futures and options since actual delivery and storage is a hassle. So Silver stayed in whatever vault it was in and the ownership of each ounce was passed back and forth with the understanding that when the contract came up, it could be covered by selling it again.
But now no one trustst there is sufficient silver to cover the current contracts.
So everyone is demanding delivery, and there may be too little Silver in the world to cover everything that was sold, which means the exchanges may default.

Batteries are crap, anymore... Put a new one in my (2003) truck in May, usually drive it once every week or two. Let it sit for 3 weeks? Nope. Dead. wth? It wasn't even *cold* yet, in early October. Previous battery was a (N)Everstart cheapest of the cheap and had lasted 5 years.

370 Batteries are crap, anymore... Put a new one in my (2003) truck in May, usually drive it once every week or two. Let it sit for 3 weeks? Nope. Dead. wth? It wasn't even *cold* yet, in early October. Previous battery was a (N)Everstart cheapest of the cheap and had lasted 5 years.

Took a while to charge with jump, but been driving it at least once a week since and no further problems.

The pattern I noticed with batteries, especially the harley batteries of any brand, is they need to be fully charged before they're put in the vehicle. With the harleys if you don't charge them up to around 13.5 volts they never take a full charge in the bike. I have seen new batteries die in days. Its always the same story. Customer says he bought a new battery and it dies in a week. We asked if it was charged, they say the store told him it was charged. No..no, thats bullshit, and they always say that crap. I charge car batteries before putting them in too.

407 It is worse than that, the only real trading was in futures and options since actual delivery and storage is a hassle. So Silver stayed in whatever vault it was in and the ownership of each ounce was passed back and forth with the understanding that when the contract came up, it could be covered by selling it again.
But now no one trustst there is sufficient silver to cover the current contracts.
So everyone is demanding delivery, and there may be too little Silver in the world to cover everything that was sold, which means the exchanges may default.

15 Willowed: As I noted in Walls of Men, the problem for China is how you control the army while concentrating it for a major conflict. To invade Taiwan you must appoint a single operational commander, but once you do so, how do you stop him from marching on the capital?

Xi knows what happened in 1911, how Yuan Shi-kai was plucked from retirement by the Empress to put down a mutiny of his subordinates and to do so, he demanded full command authority. He got it, and deposed the monarchy, declaring himself president. He died in 1916, inaugurating the warlord era. Everyone in China knows this.

Communists cannot give a promise worth anything. It's all self-interest. When the Party is powerful, the Army is loyal, but the Party is stumbling, and the Army is worried at how many of its officers are getting purged. Xi appointed all the guys he's removing. He's burning his own cronies. That can't go on for long.

“I mean, I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial, conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment,” he said.

23 Xi has a remarkable track record of acting just in time to maintain and expand his position. There have been a couple of coup attempts (or at least, real and meaningful coup plots) against him and he keeps winning. He has enough power and allies to get wind of them, and he moves fast to shut them down.

This *looks* like a big move, but it's hard to tell with Red China.

Yes, but he's wiping out his own allies. Those are his puppets he's arresting now. The economy is a mess, and with Venezuelan oil now going to the US, new supply shocks are going to hit.

The promise of the CCP was that they would make you rich and prosperous in exchange for total control. That bargain is breaking down. China lost face in a major way with the fall of Maduro. Japan is now openly rearming and also giving boats to the Philippines to buff up their Coast Guard. The US is back as well. Has the dynasty lost the Mandate of Heaven?

38 Yes, but he's wiping out his own allies. Those are his puppets he's arresting now. The economy is a mess, and with Venezuelan oil now going to the US, new supply shocks are going to hit.

The promise of the CCP was that they would make you rich and prosperous in exchange for total control. That bargain is breaking down. China lost face in a major way with the fall of Maduro. Japan is now openly rearming and also giving boats to the Philippines to buff up their Coast Guard. The US is back as well. Has the dynasty lost the Mandate of Heaven?

No doubt there are YUGE structural issues in Red China, many things are declining, and a major shakeup is due.

Xi might have decided that he may as well be the one to shake it up. Going after his allies and puppets? Is he? Or is it that they *were* his puppets, but perhaps were no longer? I don't know. Xi might is crafty and cunning and is a survivor. I'm not counting him out.

There are a bunch of castles in the Rhineland that have been updated to be residences. All of them were destroyed by Louis XIV and the locals are still pissed about it. In the 19th Century, the hot thing to do was buy the ruin and make it into a Romantic fantasy castle. They were real fortresses at one time, though.

I really hate this, it should incur the penalties for being both violent and a pussy (is he trans?). If you're going to run your mouth don't weasel into some lame attempt at plausible deniability.

Kill is not one of those words casually tossed around. "I'm going to destroy Forhan" is the usual hyperbole, but if you say "I'm going to kill Forhan" the table goes quiet with the more savy patrons glancing for the exits

Elliot Forhan, Democrat Candidate for Ohio Attorney General, went on his TikTok account to call for the execution of President Trump.

“I want to tell you what I mean when I saw that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan said.

“I mean, I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial, conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment,” he said.

“That is what I mean when I saw that I’m going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan added.

I'm not, either, but the issue he has is that there's nothing he can do within the constraints of the CCP. He's making noises that they need more state intervention in the economy. Yeah, that always works.

Also, constantly decapitating the military means it can't perform. What will happen if he does go after Taiwan and fails? Or - more likely - China is too short on oil to try it. What if the people riot and demand his ouster and the Army - seething with resentment - stands down?

That happened in 1989. Units refused orders to roll over the students. That's why they have National Armed Police now, but what if those units balk? Very dicey situation, and rounding up your most respected commanders - men who you grew up with by the way - is a desperate move.

But it's even dumber than that. Why in the HELL should Donald Freakin' Trump be trying to help California scum in any manner - particularly the redolent scum of Pacific Palisades.

Why should he waste any time or political capital assisting millionaire Marxists who despise his voters, and who are hated by them in return?

What does he think will happen? That these rich botox pigs might open their wallets for the GOP? Fat chance.

Just let them suffer with the consequences of their poor decisions. I see no upside to helping them. I'd prefer he drove around CA starting more fires.

Some things were not, in fact, better in the good ole days. Cars really did get better. I think they peaked in the late 90s or early aughts. Good tolerances, good manufacturing, good engineering. Plenty of efficiency, generally very good reliability, decent comfort and a nice spread of features - all without too much high-tech bullshit that makes them impossible to work on or everything being crammed into tiny spaces for CAFE standards - and fewer gee-gaws to break because there was still a desire for something that wasn't a smartphone on wheels.

There has been a complete inversion in power curves. Xi's best chance to invade was between 2022 and early 2025, when the military was demoralized and understrength, led by DEI nitwits and distracted by endless ancillary training modules that wasted time better spent on readiness.

I think Trump's belligerency when he came in, demanding parades and flyovers was an attempt to wave off China because we were still really weak. That's why Hegseth did the "all call" for the generals and talked the war talk - he wanted China (and Iran, and Russia) to hear it.

China is now going to be the one wasting training time teaching "Xi Jinping thought" and hunting for counterrevolutionaries.

As to the military, if they have any brains at all, they would regard invading Taiwan with existential dread.

Might not need to. The CCP has been playing a very long game of infiltration and subversion in Taiwan. I don't know if Xi is confident enough in his roadmap to take invasion off the table or not, but if he has, it could explain why he is comfortable purging the military and rebuilding it in his own image.

That's getting off into the ragged edges of wild speculation, though.

My great-grandfather had a car (a Saxon) in 1916, and flat tires were so common that one spare wasn't often enough. You just got out and patched it, pumped it, and put it back on.

As a young driver, I had a small tool kit in the trunk, regularly had to chance flats, carried a bottle of oil because it burned so much, had to check the oil frequently, kept a wire coat hanger for if/when the muffler fell off (it did) and so on. I've never had the check the oil in a modern car. It just tells you. Also, oil changes are far less frequent.

I was there for a conference, spending the nights at a hotel that ran like $500+ per night and walking through Thunderdome to the Moscone Center and other hotels and restaurants.

I told my mom how awful I found it and she said, "oh, that's sad. It was so nice when I was there."

The Marxists have been playtesting how to defeat us. And we have been giving them infinite respawns. That's madness.

The Marxists may be many things but Stupid is not one of them. Given time, they will eventually figure it out. And generations will be enslaved in poverty to die of mass starvation or freeze to death.

Worse, I'm afraid America is more of a miracle than we appreciate. The Founding Fathers may have been unique. Even if a Marxist tyranny is eventually overthrown, the elements necessary to forge the dream that was Rome may no longer exist.

If we fail, it will be the 2nd Fall of Atlantis. We will blur into legend, and then myth. We have an obligation to humanity to not let this Republic fall.

Of course. Chinese culture considers military service to be shameful, bandits with uniforms. The Chicoms tried to change that, but as I've said before, the US and Chinese militaries are roughly the same size in terms of total force.

The US is able to sustain itself using voluntary recruitment and did so despite fighting two increasingly unpopular wars. Recruiting collapsed under Biden, but is now going like gangbusters.

With four times the population, China must use conscription to fill out the ranks. BTW, one of the generals just placed under arrest was part of the military aristocracy, a career officer son of one of Mao's generals. His dad was buddies with Xi's dad. So what little military culture they have is being torn apart.

Mandarin is the official language of China and as you can imagine the CCP pushes its use and doesn’t allow broadcasts or school use of Cantonese in a lot of Cantonese areas.

That is the dilemma of a non-phonetic written language.

Yes, and it was done to reduce status of the owners. Ordered by the King.

I find it funny when these history programs show castles in ruins and then never mention why and how it got slighted. Usually it is because the owner fell into disfavor and the king didn't want them to have a defensive fortification which could be a threat.

The Japanese rapidly translated European books of science and then the Chinese devoured them. They ignored Europeans as barbarians to their great detriment.

The other day in a hospital, I saw the usual multi-lingual sign, but for the first time pondered how close Mandarin and Japanese writings are.

Of course, there's old Mandarin and new Mandarin. Taiwan uses the older form, China the newer. But I think it's style, not characters per se.

Yeah, that's not what happened to the Rhineland. Louis XIV invaded and occupied it, and was compelled to retreat. Rather than just go, he set fire to all the towns and villages and had the castles leveled. If there was any chance the Rhineland would ever end up as part of France, that ended it.

Japanese also has a much more complex grammar. They "borrowed" writing from the Chinese, then realized it wasn't good enough to map to their spoken language. So they invented an alphabet (a syllabary, actually, since every character is a syllable, not a phoneme) to add on to the Chinese. Mostly for conjugation.

So Japanese has kanji (Chinese pictograms), plus hiragana and katakana (which cover the same sounds, sort of like cursive vs block printing). Hiragana is used for most "Japanese" words, and katakana for transliterated foreign words. Katakana is also used for uncommon animal names (nobody expects you to remember the kanji for "blue-footed booby") and for emphasis, like typing in ALL CAPS.

206 England had 2 big waves of destruction, which is why there’s so many beautiful ruins. 1st wave, Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII tool out a lot of great religious estates.

2nd wave was under Cromwell during the Civil Wars. After he had to take a couple of castles twice, he vowed to never leave one he’d had to capture in serviceable condition, and he knocked down curtain walls, etc whenever he took one.

The two best preserved castles in England are Windsor and the Tower of London. Both were untouched because Cromwell liked them so much that he took them for his personal use, and wouldn’t allow anyone to harm them.

Without the alphabet/syllabary/phonetic-characters that Japanese added, the Chinese just use common character "words" that are pronounced the correct way to transliterate foreign words.

Thus the apocryphal story of Coca-Cola being written as "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse attached with wax" in Chinese.

Coke currently has an "official" transliteration for Ko Ka Ko La: 可口可乐. Allow-mouth-allow-happiness. "Something palatable that brings joy."

ie. don't waste time energy and resources shelling a hill the enemy never occupied. For example, you can destroy their position on the minimum wage and it won't make a whiff of difference - because they don't really care about the minimum wage, its a stepstool to something else.

“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution."

The Downfall of Numenor is about sin, how the faithful became corrupted. That's it. That's the story. Men accept the Land of the Star gratefully, but then become greedy, and resent death, and turn on the elves but are still their ancient allies, and fight Sauron because he is their ancient enemy, but the idea of bringing him back as a trophy appeals to their pride and vanity, and he corrupts them even more.

He noted that there is a difference between allegory and applicability. The themes of Lord of the Rings are applicable to other things, but it is not a this=that code.

Animal Farm is allegory. You can't really take it seriously any other way. Tolkien hated that kind of thing where the story was just a mask for the real story. Just tell the real story, and if it resonates, it is because it applies to other things.

238 “ I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest in hope,

You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’

You are right that a lot of his writings are of that era. Anyone trying to argue that he was using post-war Europe as his template is disastrously wrong, and he even explained (in detail!) that if he was writing allegory, the Ring would not have been destroyed but used to overthrow Sauron, and then the West would fight amongst itself while Saruman discovered the secret of making his own One Ring and the two sides would square off in the Cold War.

248 >>How can I help?

Insurgencies by definition are a small group of people that use asymmetric techniques to demoralize and ultimately defeat a much larger and better equipped ruling population. In this case the insurgents are funded by billionaires including Neville Singham and the usual cast of characters. They also own what's left of the media and that's not nothing because this is an information and influence campaign more than anything.

Best thing we can do is stay resolved and not splinter. Not even when we think one who is fighting for us isn't doing everything we think is going fast or extreme enough. Their mission is to divide us, it's literally the only way they can win.

Everyone who is against them is on my side even if they aren't perfect. We settle personal scores later. We earned a reprieve with Trump but he's not going to be around forever and all we did was stop them. Now we have to go crush them.

I'm sick of hearing how scary they are. They need to start being afraid of us. Go ICE! Deport all of them.

We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
To late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh oh, take hold
From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way
So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain

255 So Japanese has kanji (Chinese pictograms), plus hiragana and katakana (which cover the same sounds, sort of like cursive vs block printing). Hiragana is used for most "Japanese" words, and katakana for transliterated foreign words. Katakana is also used for uncommon animal names (nobody expects you to remember the kanji for "blue-footed booby") and for emphasis, like typing in ALL CAPS.

Korean Hangul is the same sort of thing. Korea adopted Chinese characters, though it had had a sort of syllabary before that, due to the influence that Chinese and Confucianism had over the region. King Sejong developed Hangul to better record Korean, using Sanskrit as an inspiration, and developing the really mobile syllable blocks.
They still use Chinese characters, the older people still read them so they are found sprinkled in the papers and books .

Tolkien had so much depth that it is frankly humbling. The guy was a historian, linguistic genius, even did Bible translations. His discussions of the Valar are directly linked to the Council of God and the orders of angels.

It's all happy fun with dragons, but if you dig deeper, it's crazy how much he wove into it. He is a great teaching tool, a pathway to the world of the Unseen, the spirit realm.

From what I understand, he thought England had been robbed by the Roman conquest of its inherent mythology, so he set out to write one.

Also, he explicitly wanted to write a world that had not had a savior or the concept of eventual triumph of good. He was also trying to explore Nordic fatalism in a lot of ways. He thought the idea of fighting on, when you KNOW you will lose AND there is no victory in the afterlife was the ultimate form of courage.

He was exploring a lot of themes.

312 Didn't Tolkien specifically set out to write a "Hero's Journey" myth for the Christian world? We didn't have an Epic of Gilgamesh, an Odyssey, or a Journey To The West, because the Bible is not myth. King Arthur is relatively weak sauce in comparison to the likes of Gilgamesh and Heracles.

Partially correct. Tolkien absolutely believed in the afterlife, and the spirit realm (and life after death) is infused into his work. The fatalism is that in the *material world* evil seems to keep winning, and he uses the Long Defeat to describe how evil seems to be winning but God's victory remains ultimately assured.

Trump Signs Executive Order to Speed Up Rebuilding LA

I don't know if he can do this but someone needs to do something.


President Trump is sidestepping thumb-twiddling California Democrats with an executive order aimed at fast-tracking the rebuilding of Los Angeles a year after devastating wildfires torched entire city blocks and left thousands homeless.

"I want to see if we can take over the city and state and just give the people their permits they want to build," Trump told the California Post Friday in an exclusive Oval Office interview when he signed the seven-page order.


Trump pointed the finger at California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the painfully slow rebuilding of homes ravaged by the January 2025 Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the most destructive blazes in LA history.

Wildfires destroyed an estimated 16,000 structures, but Los Angeles city and county officials have only issued 2,600 permits to rebuild so far.


In all, less than 15% of all homes destroyed by the fires have received necessary approvals to move forward, according to the Trump administration.

Trump's order is designed to "preempt" the building permit process -- and empower the federal government to maneuver around the needless obstacles imposed by Democratic leaders.

The order calls out the "nightmare" of delays and "bureaucratic malaise" at the California state and local levels -- and it will almost certainly be challenged by Democrats in power in the Golden State, despite displaced residents literally crying out to be made whole again.

Jessica Rogers, a Pacific Palisades resident who lost everything in the wildfires, burst into tears of joy when she learned the federal government was stepping in to pick up the slack.

...

Trump, a former real estate developer, said he was compelled to step in after touring the fire damage a year ago with first lady Melania Trump and seeing the devastation firsthand. He said he was shocked to see that even a year later, "there's nobody building."

...

Under the order, the heads of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) will issue regulations to preempt state and local permitting requirements and allow builders to self-certify to a federal agency that they have complied with health, safety and building standards.

Like I said, I can't imagine Trump has any power like this. The feds can't just set aside state laws. Even if the state in question is a basket-case run by lunatics.

...

Newsom spokeswoman Tara Gallegos hit back at Trump, calling the president "an old clueless idiot who believes that the state and federal governments can issue local rebuilding permits and LA gets its water from the Pacific Northwest."

Gallegos said Trump has "demonstrated a complete lack of leadership or compassion for this community." She charged Trump is concerned with "picking out gaudy gold décor and new flooring for his unnecessary remodel" as the community is "still waiting for him to grant disaster recovery funding.

"He should keep LA out of his mouth unless he is planning to grant them the federal disaster funding they need."

Such tough-guys!

And if it becomes necessary to give an anti-hero the power (and resulting blame) to disappear 10 million, I'm your huckleberry. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

A cynical view of this is that the fires were
allowed to burn intentionally, and CA prevents rebuilding because they intend to acquire the properties at bargain prices.

Remember, the recall petition for Newsom, which had pretty strict verification requirements, won easily. But when CA's professional vote counters got involved in the actual election he cruised to a "win".

132 Feb. 17 is the Lunar New Year, a very big deal. Will that be shut down, too? Fireworks are also banned at the moment, yes, IN CHINA. This is a regime consumed with fear.

Some say Xi wants to move on Taiwan and the generals demurred. It's likely going to end in a bloodbath, with most troops getting sunk en route by a combination of Japanese subs, Taiwan's drone swarms and Chinese operational ineptitude. Cult of personality dictatorships rarely produce veteran troops. China's last major military conflict was against Vietnam in 1979 and they got owned. BTW, Xi is removing the last veterans of that conflict from higher command, always smart to get those guys out of the way before the next war.

Xi has a remarkable track record of acting just in time to maintain and expand his position. There have been a couple of coup attempts (or at least, real and meaningful coup plots) against him and he keeps winning. He has enough power and allies to get wind of them, and he moves fast to shut them down.

This *looks* like a big move, but it's hard to tell with Red China.

137 As I noted in Walls of Men, the problem for China is how you control the army while concentrating it for a major conflict. To invade Taiwan you must appoint a single operational commander, but once you do so, how do you stop him from marching on the capital?

Xi knows what happened in 1911, how Yuan Shi-kai was plucked from retirement by the Empress to put down a mutiny of his subordinates and to do so, he demanded full command authority. He got it, and deposed the monarchy, declaring himself president. He died in 1916, inaugurating the warlord era. Everyone in China knows this.

Communists cannot give a promise worth anything. It's all self-interest. When the Party is powerful, the Army is loyal, but the Party is stumbling, and the Army is worried at how many of its officers are getting purged. Xi appointed all the guys he's removing. He's burning his own cronies. That can't go on for long.

Xi doubtless wants to be the only emperor in modern - or even near-modern - history to fully reunify China, but I kind of doubt that this is about Taiwan (at least for now). It could be, but I suspect this is defeating a major coup attempt out of the PLA. Whether that coup attempt - of that's what this is, of course - was about Taiwan, I have no idea.

That's a good point, which reminds me of how Trump is now using Obama's victory over Arizona in establishing the supremacy of Federal authority over the enforcement of immigration law. With all the noise Democrats have been making about how they'll do this and that the next time they're in power, have they said something about forcing localities to allow buildings they don't want? Like rapefugee/immivader housing projects in the suburbs?

Maybe Trump's just baiting them into taking the unpopular side of another 80/20 for kicks and giggles, but he has advisers clever enough to do two things at a time, so maybe there's a more strategic angle to it. Like, winning something elsewhere and blocking future socialist schemes, if they lose in L.A. now.

An Investigation Into Ilhan Omar's Sudden Fortune and Foreign Dealings Was Opened -- Under the Biden Administration

And when the Corruption Hawks of the Biden Administration think that you're grifting money from foreign interests, you're shadier than a $400,000 Hunter Biden "watercolor."

The Justice Department under the Biden administration opened an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat of Minnesota, in 2024 to scrutinize her finances, campaign spending and interactions with a foreign citizen, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The inquiry, initiated by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington and the department's public integrity unit in June of that year, appears to have stalled for lack of evidence, according to one of the people who requested anonymity to discuss internal department matters.

Uh-huh.


The investigation appeared to be thrust into the public spotlight on Monday, when President Trump blindsided department officials by posting about it on Truth Social, singling out Ms. Omar. It was part of a rambling statement announcing a shake-up of the team overseeing immigration raids in Ms. Omar's Minneapolis district that misspelled her name.

"The DOJ and Congress are looking at 'Congresswoman' Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars," he wrote. "Time will tell all."

It was not clear whether Mr. Trump was referring to another investigation altogether or how he arrived at the $44 million figure.

Ms. Omar, a Somali-born refugee who emigrated to the United States when she was 12, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

"Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you're panicking," she wrote on social media on Monday. "Right on cue, you're deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of 'investigations' have found nothing."


...

Ugly personal attacks against Ms. Omar have been a staple of Mr. Trump's speeches since her election to Congress in 2018, when she and Representative Rashida Tlaib, Democrat of Michigan, made history as the first two Muslim women elected to Congress.

Ms. Omar's sharp criticism of Israel, her repetition of antisemitic tropes and her comparison of U.S. actions to those of Hamas have elicited bipartisan criticism.

But few people have demonized her more than Mr. Trump, who has veered into racist and xenophobic vitriol, in the view of Ms. Omar and other critics of the president.

...

In recent weeks, House Republicans have threatened to open their own investigation into Ms. Omar, an apparent effort to tie her to the Minnesota fraud scandal that has revealed evidence that some members of the Somali community set up companies that billed state agencies for social services that were never provided.

Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has vowed to subpoena Ms. Omar's husband. His venture capital firm made millions over the past few years, according to Ms. Omar's financial disclosures.

No evidence has yet been produced showing that Ms. Omar was connected to the fraud scheme. A spokeswoman for Ms. Omar said her office had received no official inquiries from the Oversight Committee or the Justice Department.

Mr. Comer is still seeking to raise ethical questions about how Ms. Omar's husband has been able to accumulate his wealth and he has promised an update on a potential investigation soon.

His "winery" isn't a real winery.

It's a "virtual winery." I don't know what that means. I would guess it means he just buys other people's wines and puts it into his own bottles, maybe?

Adam Housley
@adamhousley

So after doing a quick dive. This was a virtual winery with basically one wine that nobody in wine country had ever heard of. There is absolutely zero chance the valuation on this went from $20,000 to $ 5 million in one year.

The whole business is accused of being a, get this, fraudulent scheme.

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's husband accused of swindling investor in their California winery

Tim Mynett and his business partner Will Hailer deny defrauding the investor, while another company they started owes $1.2 million to cannabis growers in South Dakota


In fall 2021, D.C.-area restaurant owner Naeem Mohd was presented with an unbelievable investment opportunity.

Two political operatives turned venture capitalists would triple Mohd's money in just 18 months if he invested $300,000 in their new California winery.

The pair had been paid in grapes by a former client and had hired a well-respected Sonoma winemaker to turn those grapes into profit.

I guess that's why it's a "virtual winery." They literally just took grapes given to them by a "client" and put them into barrels.

And somehow this turned into a $40 million business in a year.

They promised if they didn't pay Mohd the full $900,000 on time, they would tack on 10% monthly interest on any outstanding balance, according to the contract shared with the Minnesota Reformer.

The offer might have seemed suspicious if not for the person making it: Tim Mynett, a well-connected political consultant and husband to U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, whom he married in 2020.

Mynett came recommended by Mohd's attorney, Faisal Gill, a former Democratic operative himself who knew Mynett from his days working on Keith Ellison's congressional campaigns. Mynett and Gill had been friends since. Omar endorsed Gill in his unsuccessful bid for L.A. County Attorney, and Gill donated $1,000 to Omar's campaign in 2021.

"I trusted Tim," Gill said in an interview. "If it was not for Tim, the deal would have never happened."

Mohd wired the $300,000 to Mynett and his long-time business partner Will Hailer, with whom he founded a political consultancy called E Street Group in 2018.

But 18 months came and went without Mohd receiving the 200% return he was promised from the winery, eStCru.

Mynett and Hailer only returned Mohd's $300,000 -- about a month late -- according to a lawsuit Gill filed on behalf of Mohd in California last fall seeking at least $780,000.

The complaint, which has not been previously reported, claims the pair "fraudulently misrepresented ... that estCru, LLC was a legitimate company."

Hailer and Mynett deny they defrauded Mohd. Rather, they say they simply struggled to build a successful business in a challenging industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"ESTCRU LLC like many wineries is living invoice to invoice, sale to sale to stay afloat given the economic conditions of the industry," Hailer wrote in response to a list of questions from the Reformer. Hailer declined requests for an interview on the phone.

The winery's struggling finances represent a significant change in fortune for Mynett and Hailer since Omar announced she would no longer use their firm E Street Group on her campaigns after paying them around $3 million in the 2020 election.

Still, Hailer defended the potential for large returns in the wine business, writing, "If any investor put $X dollars in to allow the company to purchase grapes and we turned those grapes into bottles of wine that we sold you would see a 3 or 4x return."

This sounds like a scam. Actual wineries struggle to make this much of a return. Heck, they struggle to save into business. So this "business's" big innovation is to just not bother growing the grapes yourself?

I doubt it. That would require *some* infrastructure. Bottles and filling equipment and distribution and whatnot.

I bet it's a "white label" operation. Some real wine outfit - purely because of their scale and tremendous amount of business at all levels globally, I would make a wild guess that it's Gallo - just slaps their label on it and drops it into distribution at the client's direction, or uses their own distribution for a bigger cut.

Just like lots of "store brand" goods. The store specifies the formulation or picks from the menu, and the manufacturer puts their label on it and sends it out the door.

It's the "valuation," not the value. How was the valuation determined? All it would take is one Party-connected "investor" throwing a million bucks at the Party Preference in exchange for 20% of the "business" (which makes it not a donation subject to reporting, just a bum investment - oh whoops, whoopsie, this one didn't pan out) to arrive at a $5 million "valuation."

36 Isn't it fascinating that Hunter Biden and his art proficiency have just fallen off the face of the Earth. No interest whatsoever. No galleries or glam mags insisting that he grant them an exclusive to cover his nouveau lifestyle and artistic niche. No agents clamoring for him to tour with his art. No fanbase artisans or Hollywood groupies chasing him for autographs. Nothing.

And on the financial side, no concern or notice about the unique circumstance of getting historic payouts for his initial tranche of content and then not even a cent once his dad got excommunicated during the reelection campaign. Media amnesia in fullest of force.

It's such a mystery and no one in the MFM is interested in follow-up. It's so very puzzling. I get the sense that they were a tad disingenuous during the election. I suspect they might have been misleading me on other things, too. Don't want to be hasty but I'm having some persistent concerns.

I still don't buy it. That would require work. Even for a bad product, it would require capital and effort, and likely a payroll consisting at *least* of laborers and someone who can make into wine, however bad.

68 Possibly already covered, but there are many different kinds of "winery" business. Usually off-label or alternative label wines from a particular actual winery will simply be bottled and labeled differently. Trader Joe's has several wineries that provide the juice on which TJ's puts its various labels, as an example.

And sourcing grapes off-estate is very common. So those two things don't in themselves raise the least suspicion. The $ numbers obviously do. A valuation like that would need to rest on a hefty revenue number and probably even medium-term contracts, which I believe are completely absent.

Housley's in the wine business himself for years so he can speak authoritatively about all this off the cuff.

124 So the feds harrass me for years because I spent 30 bucks buying some generic ass part from a retailer who they later hemmed up via a confidential informant on totally pedantic charges (and who later killed themselves because the feds said he was going to get life, leaving behind a family)...

But Omar runs a multi million dollar money laundering scheme a 5 year old could probably figure out, and they just shrug and give up because they "can"t find evidence".

OK, sure. I still have the part; I showed it to my kids and explained how some people in government are evil fucks.

125 By the way, you can "value" your winery as anything you like. These valuations take into account what you actually own, what you can sell, and what you think your good name is worth. Obviously the later is something you get to set.

Same thing with real estate, you can overvalue. Unless you're president Trump, then its somehow illegal.

127 "So after doing a quick dive. This was a virtual winery with basically one wine that nobody in wine country had ever heard of. There is absolutely zero chance the valuation on this went from $20,000 to $ 5 million in one year."


They have to launder that stolen US taxpayer money somehow.


I remember drug dealers buying up tons of gift cards with cash at the gas stations all over our town next to the casino. They would take those cards to the casino and run them through the cash machine and get $100 bills. You knew when they were in the casino because there were stacks of discarded gift cards in the trash can next to the atm's.


Once they had pockets full of $$$ they would go and "gamble" on table games putting $20-30,000 on the table to buy chips with. After a couple of bets they cash out and take the chips to the cash windows where they would get checks for the chips. They could take those checks and put them in the bank all perfectly legal.


After a year or so the casino State police unit pretty much shut that avenue down.

Hence it is likely that it was facilitated by Dems, for a share.

With so much stolen, I'm thinking that it's possible that the Somalis actually received a minority of the graft, and the Dem engineers took a much bigger part.

But it's the fraud that is necessary to keep the money flowing out of the treasury.

She was a demon. All of her physical attractiveness was gone once I started work. Every employee lived in fear of her. She slept her way to the top, everyone knew it, and she knew everyone knew it, and she wanted to wield what power she had, and she was a cruel, mean, nasty piece of work that would make most Karens say "that's too far!"

Literally got fired by her twice. The first time my boss in another division had to intervene and force her to rehire me. The second time she'd run the company into the ground with a lot of help from Obama's regulations, and my entire division got let go.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's description of her FGM at age 5, and her sister's at age 4, is the stuff of nightmares. Held down by her grandmother, legs spread, with some man basically using scissors and clippers to cut off her labia and clitoris. With no anesthesia. In a room in their house. No medical personnel. No pain relief. Just reading her describing the incredible pain and screaming will make your knees buckle. Then they both got stitched together and had their legs tied together for weeks to keep them still until a thick layer of scar tissue formed. Ultimately sealing together their vaginas, leaving them flat with no opening and only a small trickle for peeing. This apparently goes on until these women are married and the husband busts through the scar tissue, leaving them in blinding pain.

275 I'm certain she's had it. FGM rate in Somalia is said to be 99%.

--

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's description of her FGM at age 5, and her sister's at age 4, is the stuff of nightmares. Held down by her grandmother, legs spread, with some man basically using scissors and clippers to cut off her labia and clitoris. With no anesthesia. In a room in their house. No medical personnel. No pain relief. Just reading her describing the incredible pain and screaming will make your knees buckle. Then they both got stitched together and had their legs tied together for weeks to keep them still until a thick layer of scar tissue formed. Ultimately sealing together their vaginas, leaving them flat with no opening and only a small trickle for peeing. This apparently goes on until these women are married and the husband busts through the scar tissue, leaving them in blinding pain.

Except these women have no idea what they're missing. They simply hate having sex; there's nothing in it for them and men are insatiable.

As for the men, there's evidence that they're affected by a field of partners consisting of "tabletops," as mutilated women are called.

One of the big Gallo industrial wineries is about a mile down the road from my shop. Looks like an oil refinery with a shit-load of huge storage tanks. Has it's own rail spur and they load tanker cars all the time, probably to send off raw wine for bottling in other facilities.

Everything looks like it's made from stainless steel. I imagine that the wine is very... fresh.

Well, here's the thing: you know that you are capable of making it fun for the woman, or at least that is part of your goal.

Your typical Muzzie has no such goal and probably wouldn't be capable of performing it anyway. They're pathologically insecure about their sexual prowess. That's why they keep their women in harems, put bags over their heads, and so on... to make sure they don't meet any men who might be capable of pleasing a woman. In the extreme, they use surgery to make sure she can't possibly be pleased by anyone.

It is a sick, sick culture and it needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth.

MSNBC Airs Fake Photo of Dead "Protester" Alex Pretti, Modified by AI to Make Him Look More Masculine, Handsome, and Heroic

NottheBee has a hilarious recap of this latest propaganda from "MSNOW."


Before getting to that: Although the media keeps referring to this terrorist as an "ICU nurse," the truth is he was an unemployed bum who quit his job to be a full-time paid agitator.

And he's a violent agitator:

Julie Kelly
@julie_kelly2

NEW: CNN reporting that Alex Pretti broke a rib during a separate altercation with federal officers a week before he was fatally shot attempting to obstruct an immigration operation.

According to sources, Pretti was already known to federal authorities for his involvement in obstructing raids and targeting officers.

CNN: "The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution.

Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back -- an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. Pretti was later given medication consistent with treating a broken rib, according to records reviewed by CNN."

OH.

Here's Pretti.

pretti.jpg
"State law requires me to inform you I have moved into your neighborhood"

Below, the real photo of the dead "protester" and his "Alpha Chad" AI Deepfake.

The AI photo makes him look like he hoists tankards of magical mead after fighting side-by-side with Thor.

The real photo shows a cashew-headed dweeb who has his penis nice and tucked for a night out cruising at the local playground.

Huh. They also seem to have taken the photo to Miami for a quick weekend tan.

This.

Takes.

BALLZZZ:

Real Twitter Journalists have discovered more completely-real pictures of the dead "protester."

This is their go-to move:

At what vector was Byrd's life *threatened*?

Can you tell from any recording that Byrd actually announced himself?

72 eh. He was lawfully carrying and shot multiple times after his gun was removed.
-----

Not exactly. He was issued a permit by the State of Minnesota. Its requited to be on one's person when one carries in that state. He didn't have that on him. So matter what we think of Minnesota's gun laws and the constitutionality of requiring a permit, its not accurate to assert he was "lawfully carrying".

It's not like the gun was taken and five minutes later they shot him. It was a few camera frames.

In any case, he went to the scene looking for trouble and got it. No one compelled him to go there. So yes, this specific asshole deserved it.

It also requires when encountering an officer, that you tell the officer "I have a gun", where it is, and you don't touch it, but simply point to it.

Gee, I wonder why you can't just hand it to him since, "no cops life is in danger" in the case of one handing it over to the cops.

“I want to see if we can take over the city and state and just give the people their permits they want to build,” Trump told The California Post.

Trump pointed out the failures of Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, as well as the Biden administration’s slow response.

183 I got my first lesson with this bullshit when I was around 15. Some brawl happened outside of a local school. Dude had some kind of club or wood type weapon. Another dude got it from him and whacked him with it and he died. The dead dude was black, dude who smoked him was white. The newspaper picture they showed was when he was this little 7-8 year old cherub faced kid with a nice smile. In reality he was 15-16, and a fucking gorilla sized dude. I had seen both of them around town so I knew right away the picture was bullshit and knew what they were trying to do. I never forgot that lesson, and never really trusted the media since.

But they are equivocating on "concealed carry" because Pretti did nothing according to the rules of "concealed carry". In other words, he was the same as a gangbanger with a piece and not a citizen with a permit.

As I pointed out above, just the idea that you are not to touch your gun in the presence of an officer, indicates that you can't just do what you want because you're not actually trying to kill them, as taking your gun out would not be.

They are trying to make this out as badly trained, when what they are really saying is that these guys are not reacting perfectly enough to people when they feel like obstructing and resisting arrest.

You can spot the fakes who claim to be conservative as well, because they clearly do not know anything about the law of concealed carry, or how one interacts with the cops.

The reason why lawful gun owners have such spotless backgrounds is because they are acutely aware that being armed comes with additional responsibilities. Picking a fight with a cop while packing heat is a great way to get shot, as we've seen.

Posted by: Axeman at January 27, 2026 05:25 PM (krQz2)
The reason why lawful gun owners have such spotless backgrounds is because they are acutely aware that being armed comes with additional responsibilities. Picking a fight with a cop while packing heat is a great way to get shot, as we've seen.

Exactly on both accounts. No sane, sober, rational gun owner/concealed carrier would do the things this idiot did. Namely, bring a gun to a place where he had a reasonable expectation of being in a confrontation with the cops, then get into a confrontation with the cops, etc. etc. It's stupidity all the way down.

245 Asking if an ICE agent made a bad call is the wrong question.

If you watch video of this clown, he was screaming, blowing whistles, getting physical, etc. With a pistol and two full clips. While law enforcement is trying to do their job.

He's squarely to blame for getting killed. He wasn't some person off to the side filming.

I thought he did, and one of the cops got it, but other cops while grappling heard the "GUN!" saw the empty holster and that he had something in his hand and immediately eliminated the threat.

320 Is it confirmed Pretti's pistol fired while in possession of a LEO?

I don't think that's been confirmed yet.

If it did unintentionally discharge then, there are possible reasons other than a generic P320 design flaw. Including mishandling by the LEO.

Just statistically speaking, I would suspect mishandling before The P320 Problem* just because people acting in haste and high adrenaline don't have the best fine motor skills.

* which I do believe exists, just not with every P320

Not really. Stock 17 round mags from the factory and 2 reloads. That's only 51 rounds plus one in the chamber.

That is the standard number on my belt when I go into town (just I carry .45ACP not 9mm). If I am going to a larger city I add two more reloads.

Tim Walz: ICE Arresting Illegal Alien Killers and Rapists Is Just Like the Nazis Hunting Anne Frank; CNN Guest: ICE Is Going to Start Putting People "In Ovens"

The Party of Smart People, everybody.

Tim Walz stunned reporters Sunday by comparing illegal aliens facing ICE enforcement in Minnesota to Anne Frank hiding from the Nazis, reaching for a Holocaust analogy as he attacked President Trump's immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities.

Standing before reporters, Walz claimed that children across Minnesota are now afraid to leave their homes because of the administration's expanded ICE presence. "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside," he said, invoking Anne Frank's diary as a parallel. "Many of us grew up reading that story. Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota."

The Holocaust Museum had to explain that Anne Frank was not an illegal alien gang member who had been issued a final order of deportation years ago.

US Holocaust Museum
@HolocaustMuseum

Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.


Fat gay retard communist embarrasses himself. Breaking news.


Meanwhile, on CNN, the Jewish Jake Tapper was informed that DHS illegal alien detention facilities are "concentration camps" and that ICE hasn't started putting people into ovens... "yet."

Jake Tapper seems to squirm a little but I'm quite sure he wasn't rude to his leftwing pal.


This Nobel Prize Laureate runs a joint called "Moon Palace Books."

It's a choice to put the owner of "Moon Palace Books" on tv as a representative of the Minnesota business community. That the CNN producers thought it was a good choice is telling.

48 "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside"

Lotsa whining and boo-hooing from the left about people (supposedly) afraid to leave their houses. Well ... why are they afraid? Because they're illegal criminals? Then they should be afraid.

Retards like Walz and others are only highlighting why ICE is there in the first place: because the city is crawling with criminal illegals. It's about time criminals start fearing law enforcement again.

If you're an immigrant in the country legally, you have zero to fear from ICE. Like, literally zero. It's sorta like walking through security at the airport. If you're not packing a machine gun and a pound of coke, you've got nothing to worry about. But if you do, then you should be worried.

One more thing to those illegals hiding from ICE in their houses: ICE can get you in your house too.

65 48 If you're an immigrant in the country legally, you have zero to fear from ICE. Like, literally zero. It's sorta like walking through security at the airport. If you're not packing a machine gun and a pound of coke, you've got nothing to worry about. But if you do, then you should be worried.

One more thing to those illegals hiding from ICE in their houses: ICE can get you in your house too.

"Even under Republican presidents, we're left alone." It's the thinking that immigrants could have until 2025.

No Republican will ever run for president and have a chance on anything less than mass deportations for a generation.

The incentives have changed. Completely. "I can just hang out in the shadows and maybe eventually I'll just get citizenship," doesn't work anymore when every 4 years we can get another president who says, "ICE going door to door is the mild option."

Ah, but nobody is shooting paint balls at them if they do go out.

So we went through worse in 2020.

We actually did. 2021 was a lot more like Nazi Germany. What with armed soldiers lining the streets of DC, and AGs like Dana Nessel threatening and performing prosecutions on what you weren't supposed to use your speech rights for: questioning the validity of an election.

And they can't even say "Well, some Nazi Germany because so-and-so were free to say such-and-such without consequences."

No, they tried to silence all dissent as "dangerous".

But again, in a world of free-flowing fantasy, that doesn't even have to be as bad as it was. We were "all in it together", though some of us were in the French Laundry without a mask, while the White Witch of Michigan wouldn't let people look at paint in stores.

Anybody who thinks this is more repressive than 2020 is LARPing.

119 TMJ, your analysis accurate - re illegal aliens having to worry - but it really only becomes accurate if the next 3 years sees not just removal of criminals but *massive* systematic removal of non-criminal illegals and elimination of their employment opportunities. Welfare magnet can be/somewhat is already being turned off.

A simple and classic deterrence situation.

Even if in their infinite idiocy the American people put another cretin like Obama or Biden in the WH, there will be a significant deterrent effect *if* there has been a thorough removal of the massive current illegal population.

Anything less - and every disastrously stupid hint of amnesty in any form for anyone - and this Trump term is just a brief speed bump, with the process to resume later. It's amazing to see elected GOP like the idiot governor of OK use the term "immigration reform" while whining about "tactics" and optics. But I also see many online non-idiotic non-totalitarian/racist types musing about how icky it all is, and hinting at "compromise" and ..... amnesty. Intending illegal migrants are as rational and practical as these weak-minded little girl adults are emotional and reckless.

The original battery in my late wife's 2019 Mini Copper is going bad. I get the caution that the battery has excessive discharge going on whenever I turn the motor off. Not a surprise given the battery is over six years old.

I figured I'd buy a new battery for it and install it myself. I've done that plenty of times in my life on other cars I've owned.

I popped the hood on the Mini and couldn't locate the battery. So, I went to YouTube to search for a tutorial and found one.

Holy shit!

The amount of things that have to be removed first just to get to the battery is effin' ridiculous.

It's a Mini, space is of a premium, I get it. But damn...

It means nothing more than that somebody is using the non-sectarian, secular, *mostly* universal* standard of what definitely is not good ("Mostly universal": apart from the middle east and Muslim South East Asia where Mein Kampf has been a best seller.)

It's one thing to be lorded over by Stalin and Beria. It's quite another to be lorded over by men like John Brennan and Tim Walz, who try to read bowls of spaghetti-os.

It's amazing to see elected GOP like the idiot governor of OK use the term "immigration reform" while whining about "tactics" and optics. But I also see many online non-idiotic non-totalitarian/racist types musing about how icky it all is, and hinting at "compromise" and ..... amnesty. Intending illegal migrants are as rational and practical as these weak-minded little girl adults are emotional and reckless.

I don't believe the illegal immigration problem won't truly be solved until we use the nuclear option - constitutional amendment that says 'if you ever entered the country illegally at any age you are ineligible to vote, hold public office or employment, or benefit from programs intended to address disparate outcomes or historical racism. There shall be no amnesties given including those already applied'.

“You need to move your car,” the tall, dark haired agent said, Hitlerishly.

“I’m.. I’m.. a legal observer!” she blurted out, her face flushed. It was at this moment she legally observed his rippling muscles and deep, piercing gray-blue eyes.

“I’ll have to arrest you, then, and you don’t want that. Please move your car.”

Her skin tingled as sweat broke out. Defiantly she said, “Don’t you dare put your big, strong NAZI hands on me and pin me down on the road and cuff my arms behind my back!” But it came out as a breathy whisper, all resistance drained from her. She was once again a shy schoolgirl, bashful and ashamed.

“You smell like cat pee,” he said, as he pulled her from the vehicle. “I only took this ICE job to get some exercise. It’s lonely being a 38 year-old single billionaire vampire.”

“Fascist!” she thought. But she was biting her lower lip and the words would not come out.

No, they tried to silence all dissent as "dangerous".

If they want to drag it out to the midterms, I welcome them. They'll lose hundreds of thousands in the federal workforce from firing...but they'll win...blue states I guess.

Kind of funny. Muslims call converts to Islam "reverts", because they believe Islam is that natural state of things, so people are "reverting" back to normal.

They already passed a DHS/ICE funding bill, right? Reddit dems were flipping out over 7 "traitors" that joined Republicans to increase ICE funding. If true, a shutdown would affect them, but I'm not sure if it was just a part of the general budget they were bitching about.
Posted by: Military Moron at January 27, 2026 04:22 PM (JCZqz)

They did not. There are departments funded - DOW and DHS are 2 biggies that are not (although ICE has enough funds until 2028, so it will not be hurting under the shutdown)...

SNAP is funded, DOJ is funded, so some issues from last time won't occur again.

Yeah, I don't usually leave the "Red Wall" speech out.

There was a theory that advertisers used to put subliminal messages about cancer into ad pictures because the subconscious fear of cancer in smokers would make them anxious and feel week and reach for a cigarette to "calm their nerves".

That's what I felt about that speech. It's a signal that can easily be denied. A dog whistle to their opponents that "Yes, you should be afraid." And because it wasn't overly overt, the supporters can just screw up their face and say "What are you talking about?!"

"SCRAMBLE LIKE COCKROACHES": Minnesota State Police Deploy LRAD Against Rioters

The tactical environment in Minnesota has reached a new level of enforcement. Minnesota State Police were captured on video testing and deploying the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) to disperse crowds of radical agitators who have been attempting to paralyze federal operations.

The device was recorded being tested with a verbal count before the high-decibel acoustic waves were directed at the crowd.

As the LRAD was activated, rioters were seen scrambling in all directions, with officers repeatedly commanding the crowd to "Move back!"

Unlike standard megaphones, the LRAD is a non-lethal weapon that uses focused sound to create physical discomfort, forcing even the most committed agitators to retreat.

Posted by: rickb223 at January 27, 2026 04:27 PM (RoI99)

313 249 It's long past time for some senior figure to go nuclear on the vile idiotic reckless rhetoric from garbage like Walz and Krasner. High enough profile and histrionic enough that it breaks through the media blackout.

I believe Dems took significant vote/$ hit in 2024 from Jewish Americans due to the obvious reasons. This absurd "Nazi" slander and the cretin buffoon Walz's comments should be answered and the public's faces pushed into it. Not only Jews will be repulsed and astonished.

372 38 I fear that all the AWFLs are really witches and want to boil children down in large caldrons.

the folklore around witches arose in part from stories of older women who separated themselves from the village and couldn't be trusted, especially around children, passed down and embellished

historians will tell you it was just sexism, but the reality is AWFLs have always been with us

FIRE ALL AWFLs: Virginia Nurse Says She'll Use Drugs to Paralyze and Poison ICE Agents

She works for VCU Health -- which says that her calls to paralyze and poison people are "inappropriate" and under investigation, but they have not fired her.

She's currently suspended and not in a position to poison patients -- but no firing.


Libs of TikTok
@libsoftiktok

Meet Melinda, a healthcare worker at @VCUHealth. She posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylocholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and spray poison on them. She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food.

Any comment @VCUHealth
? How can you have such a vile person working with patients? How can anyone feel safe at your facilities if you employ such people?

Libs of TikTok
@libsoftiktok

BREAKING UPDATE: Malinda just SCRUBBED her tiktok account

Still no word from @VCUHealth

They're taking a Wait and See Attitude about the Angel of Death nurse:

vcuhealth.png

She also seems to work for Duke University Hospital. When the hospital was asked about this Angel of Death nurse, instead of responding, they... just deleted people's texts asking questions about this likely future murderess.

And she's not the only nurse urging others to do harm to patients. The below creature, who is more filter than human being, not only wished severe birth-related complications on Karoline Leavitt, but also tells nurses to discriminate against ICE agents.


We have "red flag" laws for guns. We need red flag laws for health care workers -- if someone informs the authorities that you are an ideologically-twisted sociopath or borderline personality disorder bitch, you need to have your licenses pulled until you can demonstrate to a panel that you have completed 6-12 months of psychological counseling and testing.

If it saves just one life, right?

69 These are not nurses who have the heart of a nurse. I can say this because I was one.

In the late 90's I taught as a clinical adjunct professor in the med center. My 12 students a year were a minority of people who wanted to be nurses. The others were former EMT's and LPN's who wanted their RN license for better pay.

I saw immediately the difference, and not just my age, because some were nearly my age.

I became a RN at 23yrs old. The 50 of us I graduated with were put through a grinder to graduate (we were told 1/2 of us would not make it and that proved true). We all had the heart of a nurse, if that makes sense. It was an honor, not a paycheck.

While I am all for raised pay for nurses and teachers vs the NFL, these hollow vessels who base politics on care should not share my degree.

I did see that Bondi has told the State Board in FL to end the license for that one nurse. While it is Virginia, I doubt they will comply.

How does this beetch know their politics? It is not listed on information. Does she research every patient? If so, she's not busy enough. If you were assigned to me I would not care how you voted or your job. I was keeping you alive.

100 What was Pretti boy before he became a RN at age 32yrs?

Just curious if anyone knows. While his age is not an issue, as many change fields, as I said... EMT's and LPN's...it matters at times.

I would tell my EMT's to look at the whole person, not the injury, surgery or illness. Because all of that depends on how they will deal with the problem and heal.

You should preferentially distrust nurses. I know that sounds shocking because you're still working on the old image of a profession of caring women.

That's not been true for a long time.

Nursing is a sink for pathological personalities. The number of borderline and narcissistic and sociopathic nurses today is noticeable. You can't not see it unless you've decided not to see it.

It's not mysterious either. Pathological personalities, especially female, are attracted to "caring" professions.

Why?

1. Automatic public trust. Those of you "shocked" by what I'm saying are doing exactly what they want you to. They're trading on an outdated image.

2. Social camouflage to hide their wicked behavior and to make any criticism of them look "unhinged."

3. The ability to control others, especially life and death.

Same reason you see so many insane sociopathic teachers and social workers.

102 The funny thing is...these nurses/medical professionals would absolutely demand that we provide top notch medical care to the worst of the worst terrorists during military operations.

Abu the Terrrorist must receive the same level of medical care as U.S. soldiers also wounded.

But ICE agents? Nope. They get worse care than our terrorist enemies.

The FNM was desperate to scare people through threats to their children but people started to notice kids were fairly immune to COVID, rather then being able to publish long lists of dead kids the FNM had to keep calling people COVID deniers but with no evidence.

Until a child died from COVID. This was the FNM's moment! They got a bunch of pictures of this, I believe 11 year old, and started claiming he had no co-morbities or anything so COVID was going to kill all the children that didn't get the clot shot

But unfortunately for them people looked at the pictures. The kid was 300lb or more. No co-morbities my ass.

And then that story just...went away...but didn't stop the terror campaign to get people to clot shot their kids

after a while he just realized it was a no-go for males and switched to chem e. he's doing well but recently mentioned how much he wishes he could have stayed pre-med. but he knows there's just no point to it now.

that's a LOT of guys. a lot of good potential health care workers are turning their backs on the field.

175 my daughter is a night shift ER nurse in a major city, and yes she has her issues, but she is first and foremost a NURSE.
She has an associates degree, and is an RN, and ever since passing her boards has been hounded by every employer to get her BSN, with an eye toward MSN.
(associates' and bachelors' pass THE SAME BOARDS to be licensed).
One of the ways management bean counters keep costs down is to cycle in as many new BSNs as possible, because they are cheaper than experienced RNs of any stripe.
The turnover in the profession is intense, with most credentialing their way up and out to positions that have little to do with bedside care.
ALL RN to BSN programs can be done exclusively online, which tells me yes, it is exclusively a credentialing exercise.
Even ten years ago, in her associates' program classes, the rot that is ed was in nursing.
She took an elective entitled "Public health nursing in a multicultural world", which she though would be helpful--who knows where she might end up, and who she might be serving? Good to know customs, traditions, etc that would make her a better nurse!

And obviously, even in a good job that's not true. The stress is high and constant. But this didn't led a lot of the people unhappy with this state to question the lie they were told...they channeled it into an argument this is because of sexism or the like...

Unlike my right to bear arms, you have no right to work as a medical professional. If you don't want to be permanently banned from the profession, don't be a lunatic. Once you demonstrate you are, there is never a comfort level I have that you wouldn't relapse. Sorry, but you gotta find something else to do. BTW, this should extend not just to idiotic statements on social media, but to any conduct along these lines.

190 There is one thing a nurse can do that will result in instant firing, immediate loss of nursing license, the 100% ending of their careers, and probable criminal prosecution. That thing is stealing drugs from the hospital or healthcare center.

At my hospital chain you can get caught stealing opiates from patients twice. Nurses just get sent to substance abuse camp. You will get fired the third time.

192 Posted below by mistake


When I was a new grad, a friend and classmate (who is one of the biggest liberals I now know) wanted to unionize. She came to me for a vote & I told her I could not, if assigned that day, not work & abandon patients. She was not pleased & I did not care.

It came to a 3 way vote:
Vote for her little union
Vote for ACLU (I was horrified)
NO's won

She was maybe a "real nurse" as a charge RN like me for six months. After this tango, the nursing administration put her as VP or something of nursing (I can't remember). Sort of a bribe to shut her up. She went on for her MS in nursing and to bigger things.

She was very smart, or at least very well spoken. She's gone "far" in her career while I just worked jobs that I liked (always part time) and raised our chimps to be good men. I had fun and was never career focused, altho jobs were created for me as I was smart, dedicated, and can talk to anyone. I can even be charming if needed, which I know is a shock!

I think this person may still be working as I don't know. When I could read her twitter stuff it was obvious she was a radical Dim loon. I could see her protesting.

I was reading a feminist take on the proto indo europeans.

Now history shows that when they domesticated the horse goods with their cultural marking start spreading all over Eurasia along with their male line DNA.

The feminist take? Well obviously the women in the other tribes around them found they PIE men with their horses SO HOT that they stopped having sex with their own men.

As opposed to what actually happened - the PIE men conquered all the tribes around them, killed their men, and took their women.

This is that vacillating universe syndrome.

Past times were so hard on women.

Women were hot for raiders and so as empowered women chose raiders.

When it's more consistent with their general world view that alien men would take the women they want and have their way, through capture or rape.

This is probably why the most represented paternal gene is Central Asian. From Finland to the Americas, where the plains tribes were mostly displaced Huns, or so.

I've worked in and renovated many of the older hospitals in the Western US. Competency, English fluency, and hard work are rare enough to shine like a diamond in a goat's ass in a hospital. I wouldn't trust most nurses and orderlies I meet work as morticians.

It was a controlled mobilization effort which was planned earlier but deployed in 2014. I narrated it all right here on these pages, starting in about 2011. The Rise of Women was intended to coincide with eight years of Hillary, but it was all intended to divide, mobilize and weaponize. And it worked.

Schiltz, the Minnesota federal judge who is threatening to hold ICE Director Todd Lyons in contempt of court & is ordering him to appear in court on Friday, appears in a 2019 list of donors & volunteers for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an organization that provides free legal advice and representation for illegal immigrants. Judge Schiltz was appointed by President Bush in 2006.

They'll want to look east of Plano as west requires WAY too much traffic to navigate. Lake Tawakoni and surrounding areas are still relatively quiet, last time I was out that way.

There are several small towns around that lake that could be considered. Work your way out a radius from there, I would think as a good starting point.

Depends on how far they want to drive.

323 266. It was a controlled mobilization effort which was planned earlier but deployed in 2014. I narrated it all right here on these pages, starting in about 2011. The Rise of Women was intended to coincide with eight years of Hillary, but it was all intended to divide, mobilize and weaponize. And it worked.

Couple days ago I called around and local coin dealers weren't interested in buying silver ingots or rounds smaller than 10 oz. I'm going to assume because they can turn the larger bars around at spot filling enormous orders for delivery.

That seems to be the thing is that countries and institutional buyers are demanding delivery as opposed to 3rd party holding. Which many suspected isn't true, much like the bricks painted yellow in fort knox

440 Facebook SEIU
January 8 at 12:41 PM
Renee Nicole Good was killed by ICE. We demand full accountability and ICE out of our communities immediately.

It doesn't seem Ms. Good was affiliated with the SEIU. Following her death, numerous SEIU locals and affiliates (SEIU Local 1; 32BJ SEIU, and SEIU Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa) released statements of outrage, mourning, and solidarity with her family.

So at the minimum another union connection in her death, but unlike Peretti's who seems to have been a member of the AFGE. (Yeah, now suing the Trump administration, of course.)

Reportedly,
SEIU Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa represents over 50,000 workers, advocating for better pay and healthcare, and, yes, were in demonstrations like the People's March (Jan 2025) to oppose "fascism."

32BJ SEIU is also a large property services union with a presence in multiple cities, and involved in political actions against policies of the Trump regime.

SEIU Local 1: Represents diverse workers across the Midwest, advocating for economic justice and worker rights.

Again, often ANTIFA or not. It depends.

It is demonic to wish that on anyone, much less by someone in her former profession.

All I can say is that I was trained to leave whatever was going on in my life when I clocked in. I had no thoughts of anything except the job ahead. No one died I was responsible for that was not supposed to...and those who did I comforted them and their families.

I can't fathom these thoughts of suffering and murder of patients. They all need to be stripped of their licenses and hauled off.

Shame on them all who think this way. I am thankful to have worked in a time where good care mattered, no matter who the patient was.

At the start of the 4yrs I taught RN's, I told them that it would take a lot of time before I trusted them with medications.Because they could kill someone under my watch.

I guess now these same students would rejoice! And I would fail their liberal butts and kick them out. Thank God I did not have to deal with that!

Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Overrules Lawless Lowly District Judicial Insurrectionist, Removing Bullshit Restrictions on How ICE Can Handle Violent "Protesters"

Who knows, it's possible that this judge's lawless diktat that "protesters" should be allowed to be violent and ICE is barred from responding with non-lethal munitions like tear gas and pepper spray actually led to the death of the violent protesters.


MXM News:


A federal appeals court on Monday stepped in to stop what the Trump administration argued was an extraordinary act of judicial overreach, blocking a Minnesota order that effectively handcuffed federal immigration agents during enforcement operations.

The three-judge panel on the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Trump administration and issued a full stay of a January injunction that had restricted how officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement could respond while facing aggressive anti-ICE protests.

That lower-court order barred agents from making arrests, detaining individuals, or using pepper spray during confrontations unless heightened legal thresholds were met--rules critics warned would put officers at risk as agitators pressed into enforcement scenes.

The lowly district court judge and insurrectionist had claimed, in the face of all evidence, that the "protesters" were all uniformly peaceful and therefore ICE was barred from using any non-lethal force against them.



Reviewing the same video evidence cited by the district court, the appeals panel flatly rejected the idea that the encounters were uniformly peaceful, writing that the footage showed "a wide range of conduct, some of it peaceful but much of it not," with agents responding to rapidly changing situations.


...

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez had accepted [violent "protesters'"] claims on January 16, finding the plaintiffs likely to succeed on First and Fourth Amendment grounds and issuing a sweeping injunction against the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.

Her ruling cited alleged instances in which agents used pepper spray, pointed weapons, made arrests, and conducted traffic stops against individuals she characterized as peacefully observing or protesting enforcement activity.

The appeals court was unmoved, emphasizing that the encounters varied widely--different officers, different protesters, different behavior, different locations--making a blanket prohibition not only unworkable but dangerous.

Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed the decision as a decisive stand for law enforcement.

"Liberal judges tried to handcuff our federal law enforcement officers, restrict their actions, and put their safety at risk when responding to violent agitators," Bondi wrote on X, noting that the Justice Department first secured a temporary pause and has now won a full stay.

In the meanwhile, Kash Patel says he's following the money and the FBI is investigating who is funding these violent revolutionary groups.

He also says the FBI is continuing to investigate the fraud network.

FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday the bureau has identified people and groups who are funding leftist protests aimed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Minnesota.

During an appearance on conservative commentator Benny Johnson's podcast, Patel confirmed that the FBI's investigation into the unrest is active and expanding.

"We've got ... investigations ongoing into the funding of this," Patel told Johnson, stressing that the protests are "not happening organically" and that investigators have made "substantial progress" in uncovering groups and individuals financially backing them.

Patel also asserted that federal authorities are examining encrypted left-wing chats connected to protest organizers in Minnesota -- warning those involved that they "should be worried" if they have violated federal statutes.

Some people are asking: Is this insurrection being staged not to protect illegal aliens but to protect the Democrat Party's fraud-farmers in blue cities?

In other words, are they attempting to block further investigation of the Somali and other organized crime looting of the federal treasury?

If this is just about protecting criminal illegals, why did the violent "protests" not begin until after the Nick Shirley revelations?!

Arthur MacWaters
@ArthurMacwaters

Let me get this straight:

1. prior administrations deported millions of people, and riots were basically nonexistent

2. the moment trump took office, a coordinated campaign by politicians/legacy media *directly called for resistance to ICE*

3. once riots happen and people are die, the spotlight shifts to stopping deportations and defunding ICE

If this was such a crime against humanity, why did no one riot in 2024?

The intention behind the unrest is NOT empathy.

Empathy is being manufactured on false grounds to achieve political aims. And people are getting hurt.

This entire ICE fight is over the 2030 Census.

Democrats pushed millions of people in blue states to move out with their high taxes, Covid tyranny, and skyrocketing costs of living, so they opened the border floodgates under Biden to replace them with illegals.

President Trump is now mass deporting them so they’re violently fighting back.

The 2030 Census all comes down to the 2028 race though.

If Democrats steal the White House again, these 2030 Census numbers will get rigged worse than the 2020 election.

If a Republican wins, Dems will rightfully lose power in DC for decades.

Recognize where we are.

I don't think that's accurate. They don't want so many deaths that the faceless minions of evil are discouraged from throwing temper tantrums.

Kyle Rittenhouse demonstrated that threshhold is apparently three in one night.

What they want is the one right death that will get them sympathy with the normies in order to justify larger "protests" and provide the narrative for the next round of election theft in November. Which will coincide with historic midterm trends, so most people will be expecting Dem gains.

It is a bunch of people on both sides trying to get the world and the politics to go on as it has since 1981.
Some because it gives them power, some because it gives them a solid base for their political plans or continuing fraud, some because their plans involve the destruction of the US and want to take power instead, and some because it makes the world simple and easy to understand, and some because "the bed is so warm, I don't want to get up and face the new day"

90 Also, another cartel judge has ordered the Border Patrol chief to appear in his court as to whether he should be held in contempt.

The issue is whether the BP has sufficient resources to process all the people they are arresting.

The judge is whining because some shitbag illegal has had to wait 8 days now on his bond hearing.

Except ... bond isn't required in immigration.
AFAIK, that's made-up "judge" law.

And the judge is whining that somehow it's the BP fault there as so many habeas petitions.
But, didn't we just have a ruling that illegals cannot appeal their final order of removal via habeas?

Oh right: Cartel judges are the law.

92 *Breaking* news: It turns out that Alex Pretti was injured in a scuffle with federal agents in Minneapolis a week before he was shot.

Pretti, was left with a broken rib after being tackled by a group of officers during a protest against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, according to a CNN source*.

The alleged assault occurred after Pretti stopped his car after seeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers chasing a family on foot.

Pretti allegedly began shouting and blowing a whistle, and was then tackled to the ground by five agents. The source claimed one officer leaned on his back, causing his ribs to break.

The ICU nurse, who allegedly 'thought he was going to die', was reportedly released at the scene - but allegedly remained on federal agents' radar.

Both the named administrations - obviously - facilitated massive increases in illegal alien presence. The Obama "deportations" were mostly close to the border and after immediate apprehension, which don't require almost any process whatsoever.

Obviously the country has been dumbed down beyond recognition in recent decades. But the pathetic teenage bleatings about "hypocrisy!" such as the one cited by ace still amaze.

Oh - and the anti-ICE actions pre-dated MN and happened/are happening elsewhere. It's not - obviously - about "distraction". It has its own objectives.

Because, if they lose there, they will never rally the public anywhere else.

“What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized.

The people of Minnesota have stood strong — helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when it’s our own government targeting American citizens.

No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It’s time to show the world. More importantly, it’s time to show ourselves.”

159 Maybe a few federal judges should embed themselves with the nightly ICE patrols to make sure that ICE agents comport themselves with the non-lethality required by those judges. I'm sure that would inform their next ruling on a TRO about the use of force.

160 I learned today Somalia has a GDP of less than $14 billion. No wonder all those people were willing, even eager, to move to the cold northern Minneapolis; they could nearly double their country's GDP. And the state politicians and Democrat residents will actually DEFEND their right to loot the place.

It's so insane that Idiocracy was too calm and serious a take, it turns out.

164 If Democrats steal the White House again, these 2030 Census numbers will get rigged worse than the 2020 election.

If a Republican wins, Dems will rightfully lose power in DC for decades.
--
That's what I've been saying for months.
A 2030 census under Vance not only locks them out of the Presidency for decades ....

- they'll never have a majority on the Supreme Court in any of our lifetimes
- they'll be locked out of winning the House for decades as well

When you add in election integrity pushed by Trump then Vance, backed up by the SCOTUS, we will also see several more states flip solid red up and down the ballot.

The Democrat Party will be a discontinuous, hyper-localized party entirely confined to a few large cities.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at January 27, 2026 02:11 PM (j7hh9)

________________________

They, actually, have a "legitimate" GDP of $14 Billion. However, the richest man in Somalia (and his family) own Dahabshiil Money Transfer. Mohamed Said Duale is founder, chairman, and owner. He's a billionaire many times over. You'd have to assume that Somalia's biggest import and export is actual currency, not commodities. How much of this is legitmate and not a laundering operation is suspect.

Minnesota has three full branches of Dahabshiil Money Transfer right square in the middle of Minneapolis. In fact, you will find a branch or more where ever Somalis settle in bulk in the US. Makes you scratch your head. Someone is orchestrating the entire process. And, there is TSA footage of couriers transporting suitcases filled with cash by airline. Gosh, I wonder where that cash ended up. I have a good guess.

Nothing wrong with anger if channeled properly. But I'm genuinley curious why it's become a reflex to blame Bondi for everything. She's the AG, she doesn't bring cases to courts and everyone knows we are in a period of unprecedented judical activism brought by leftists posing as activists. Jesus couldn't get these leftwing activists to follow the law.

What is the solution other than to keep pushing to get stuff done through the only channels that exist? It's slow and tedious but the Trump DOJ usually wins in the end.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 27, 2026 02:25 PM (viF8m)

217 Any operation involving a cadre of men trained in the art of violence has its risks. Especially when they are operating under the cover of civilian or military authority. Once you deploy them you’ve taken a calculated risk. One of those risks is that people who actively or inadvertently get in the way will be killed or wounded. These communists and traitors deliberately put themselves in the way. They knew the risks but didn’t think they would fall on them.

They chose badly.

Politics is another matter. What’s driving this is a desire to beat back four years of invasion by the Democrats. It’s furthermore driven by a CiNC who wants to fulfill those promises. Remember that when next cycle the subversives start pretending to be conservatives and saying Republicans didn’t deliver on mass deportations.

The communists will see this change in strategy as an affirmation their tactics are working. Expect to see them repeat these operations in places like NY. It’s already starting.

We have a giant shitpuddle ahead of us, and you’re about to find out who has the shoes to get through it.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at January 27, 2026 02:11 PM (ExV1e)

SCOTUS would never get involved in that level of infighting. They jumped the gun in going to the 8th circuit. They made a mistake right at the start by not finding a friendly judge they could take the original warrant to. And if there wasn't one they had, then that's an even bigger problem.

I don't know how much of this reporting is correct. Wasn't it a magistrate judge that denied the warrant? If so, wouldn't the "appeal" go to a real Article III judge? I'm not a criminal lawyer, so I can't say for sure how this works, but I've never in my career got an order from a magistrate judge and then went straight to the circuit appeals court.

Some of it is deliberate and part of the OPFOR strategy to divide the electorate. The other part is ignorance.

The people funding and organizing this aren’t stupid. They know exactly what they’re doing and have hidden behind a complex legal strategy designed to promote this as legitimate, constitutionally protected activities. In that regard, they’ve left themselves enough cover that when things go kinetic they have plausible deniability.

I understand that all federal judges are just honest Joes, doing their job for the betterment of America. So the magistrate who refused the warrant only did so because Pam Fucking Bondi personally fucked things up, and then, in the appeal, they ruled that Lemon had broken the law but THEY wouldn't issue a warrant because Pam Fucking Bondi personally fucked things up.

And we know that Pam Fucking Bondi hasn't taken the matter to a grand jury because our Ouija board told us... but how, exactly did Pam Bondi fuck this up? Please explain, Law Master.

Regarding the "peaceful protesters" is not what I see. Today I saw a video of a nitwit who grabbed a flash bang grenade, I guess to throw it back. Insted her fingers are burnt and shredded, what is left of them.

She? then ran towards the officers for some reason, whipped her hat off and screaming. What did she think would happen? A nerf grenade? Why? They are all idiots.

I have another issue: the F word used every other word. Like it is going to wound ICE officers. I am not offended but I think it is also lame in that it is used so often people are immune.

Same with the brave "soldiers of peace" putting their gloved middle finger in officer's faces.

Oh, yes! That will make them lay down and submit.

The collective IQ of these crowds is maybe pushing 100...all of them combined. Where are the Somolian protesters, eh? (I said eh like I am from Canada of MN).

I am disgusted with them all. I am also disgusted that charges are dropped against the church invaders and Lemon.

What did Trump tell Pedomouth Walz to suddenly have the police do their jobs? Patel said he has the information of who is paying?

318 If my daughter brings up the "ICE executions" to me, I'm going to assign her a task

1. Find the video of Ashli Babbitt being shot on J6.
2. Do a slow-motion frame by frame viewing of it and to detect where any lethal force of climbing through a window unarmed almost killed Officer Byrd.

Outside of Joe Scarborough's lame "She was in the army, where they train like commandos, with registered lethal hands and stuff!".

I'll ask her if she saw a concealed toe blade deployed.

As much as I don't like to get political on my X stream, the contrast is too stark to care. It's not going to be a matter of "who deserves being dead", but just to point out that a not-too-well trained Officer Byrd was reprimanded for leaving his gun in a bathroom once.

And did far more what looks like an execution than what happened to Pretti (until he was down).

I've already anticipated "She shouldn't have been there."

You know, as if we can't say Pretti should not have been closing in on ICE agents, when he had been told to stay back. Both were approaching officers, and we can't even talk about when Babbitt was disarmed or what she was carrying where and whether she was in compliance.

330 The 670-ish lower courts currently function as a distributed denial of service attack force against the 9 Supreme Court Justices. Or, more accurately, against between 2 and 6 of the Supreme Court Justices.

All SCOTUS can do is overturn the fraudulent lower court rulings one at a time. And that only after a significant amount of time and effort.

The lower courts constantly refuse to apply SCOTUS rulings to future cases. They absolutely can do that. They have done that. They will continue to do that until such time as the real boss of the lower courts fires a bunch of them for cause.

There is every reason to expect that Congress will continue to never do so.

Perhaps the President can arrest and prosecute a bunch of them for sedition or conspiracy.

As I understand / remember it, back when Obama was president, he needed/wanted to beat back Republican accusations that he was soft on illegal immigration. (Hint...he was soft on illegal immigration.)

So what he did, to tbeef up his reputation, was to re-classify border apprehensions. In the past, if you got stopped at the border, and sent back to Mexico, that didn't count as a deportation. Only if you made it to the interior, and then got picked up and sent back to Mexico, would that count as a deportation.

So, he just reclassified those who got picked up at the border and sent back to Mexico as deportations. And Viola! Obama was able to portray himself as a law and order guy to beat back negative Republican portrayals of him.

Ironically, it worked so well.. (cont,)

I saw video of a very professional encounter between ICE and neighbors. The Karens in the crowd were all huffy "I'm going to record this on my PHONE!". The officer that seemed to be in charge was pleasant and said "Recording is not a problem,". And then, pointing several cars along the street back, he said, "But I'm going to need you to stay behind that white car. Videotaping is not a problem, but you have to clear the area."

So, I compare that to the observation that Pretti was told at least once that he was too close, and needed to put some distance. So, it kinda sounds like a case where standing too close to ICE officers after they have told you to step back is tantamount to obstruction.

Not a lawyer so I don't know these things.

But once Pretti's obstructing, putting their hands on him for "just videotaping with his First Amendment Rights" is reasonable.

The Biden administration didn't just let millions of illegals into the country, they purposefly flew them all over the country to create the scenario we are seeing play out now. It's a hell of a lot harder to deport them from the interior, particulalry whem they are sent to sanctuary cities and states with activist judges.

When I was a new grad, a friend and classmate (who is one of the biggest liberals I now know) wanted to unionize. She came to me for a vote & I told her I could not, if assigned that day, not work & abandon patients. She was not pleased & I did not care.

It came to a 3 way vote:
Vote for her little union
Vote for ACLU (I was horrified)
NO's won

She was maybe a "real nurse" as a charge RN like me for six months. After this tango, the nursing administration put her as VP or something of nursing (I can't remember). Sort of a bribe to shut her up. She went on for her MS in nursing and to bigger things.

She was very smart, or at least very well spoken. She's gone "far" in her career while I just worked jobs that I liked (always part time) and raised our chimps to be good men. I had fun and was never career focused, altho jobs were created for me as I was smart, dedicated, and can talk to anyone. I can even be charming if needed, which I know is a shock!

Internet Claims: Chinese PM Xi Plotted Purge of Chinese Military, So the Military Plotted a Coup and Kidnapping. But Then Xi Launched a Counter-Coup.

Allegedly.

The claims of an actual coup attempt, with senior military leaders plotting to kidnap Xi, is an internet-based claim without any legacy media confirmation.

So far.

Here's the BBC:


The senior ranks of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) are in tatters.

The weekend purging of China's top general, Zhang Youxia, and another senior military officer, Gen Liu Zhenli, has left serious questions about what triggered the elite power struggles unfolding in the country - and what this means for China's warfighting capacity, whether it be any ambition to take Taiwan by force or engage in another major regional conflict.

Zhang, 75, was vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) - the Communist Party group headed by the country's leader Xi Jinping, which controls the armed forces.

The CMC, usually made up of around seven people, has now been whittled down to just two members - Xi and Gen Zhang Shengmin.

All others have been taken down in the "anti-corruption" crackdown following previous waves of detention.

The CMC is responsible for controlling millions of military personnel. It is so powerful that when Deng Xiaoping was the paramount leader of the country during the 1980s, this was the only position he held for most of that time.

That only Xi and one CMC general remain is unprecedented, according to Lyle Morris from the Asia Society Policy Institute.

"The PLA is in disarray," he told the BBC, adding that China's military now had "a major leadership void".

Asked what was really driving the culling of so many top generals, he said: "There are a lot of rumours floating around. We don't know, at this point, what is true and what is false... but it is certainly bad for Xi Jinping, for his leadership and control over the PLA."

Associate Professor Chong Ja Ian from the National University of Singapore also said he was not sure what the real reason was for Zhang's downfall but that there was a lot of speculation about it.

"Everything from leaking nuclear secrets to the United States to plotting a coup and factional infighting. There are even rumours of a gunfight in Beijing," he said.

"But Zhang and Liu's downfall along with the wild speculation highlight two things: that Xi remains unassailable and there are significant limits to information in Beijing which fuels uncertainty and feeds this speculation."

The official announcement that said Zhang and Liu were "under investigation" also said that they were accused of "serious violations of discipline and law", which is a euphemism for corruption.

...

The targeting of the generals may be about corruption, but it may also be about power politics, given how these purges have panned out in the past.

...

Xi may have stamped his authority, yet again, but the upheaval means ongoing frictions, he said.

"It's certainly a bad look for Xi and I think there's going to be significant turmoil in the PLA, with Xi and his leaders -- especially in the PLA -- for years to come."

The purging of the most senior generals also brings scrutiny on the next layer of officers who may be wondering who is next?

Twitter accounts claim -- again, without confirmation by the fake media -- that the military leaders Xi was about to arrest for corruption decided to strike first and kidnap Xi, but Xi got wind of this and arrested them first.

Cryptoanarhist
@manaxer2

A coup d'etat is being prepared in China.

What happened? I explain:

-- The largest purge of China's military leadership in half a century has recently begun. Generals are being prosecuted on charges of corruption and state crimes.

-- Even General Zhang Youxia, who was considered Xi's right-hand man, was accused of treason for spying on the United States.

-- Unconfirmed information is also circulating online about the suppression of an attempted military coup and an assassination attempt on Xi Jinping himself.

-- There is an active movement of military convoys in the direction of Beijing, now they are located 40 kilometers from the center of Beijing.

-- Local media reports that some of the equipment has already reached Beijing, and armed men have taken control of the historic Forbidden City

-- Along with this, there are reports that the existing PLA system has been stopped and replaced by the direct command of the Central Military Council using encrypted telegrams.

-- All units throughout the army have moved to the first level of combat readiness.

In addition, against the background of the events, Taiwan said it was closely monitoring "abnormal" changes in China's military leadership and urged Japanese fishermen to refrain from visiting islands disputed with China.

What do you think, will there be changes in our political system?


Is this true? I don't know, but it's important enough to at least mention, I think.

And no one believes the "Real Media" is the real media any longer. They're incompetents. I don't consider them to be an authoritative word.

Happy Tuesday!

I'm sure this got buried in the last thread, but the guy who got shot was an agitator known to ice who had his ribs broken the week before during a violent altercation with them in other words they knew who this guy was and when they saw a gun there was a reason for the response.

62 Zhang, 75, was vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) - the Communist Party group headed by the country's leader Xi Jinping, which controls the armed forces.

The parallels to the dying days of the USSR are eerie. Many, if not most of these guys are "princelings", i.e. descendants of the original CCP guys. Xi is 72, and this guy is 75. Admittedly, Trump is older at 79, but he's that rare specimen who can clearly still keep up the pace. Zhang looks like he should be playing mahjong somewhere.

Maybe. Or maybe there's intense dissatisfaction because enough other members of the Politburo understand that what they're doing now isn't working, and they're tired of having everything decided by Xi, who is completely isolated because nobody wants to bring him bad news. There are probably quite a few who wanted to continue the liberalization that was happening before Xi, if for no other reason than to save their own skins before the people revolt.

Just read pretty much any account of Stalin. It is one long thing of him suspecting first this guy, then that, then the guy who accused the first guy gets axed (literally.) These guys are often talented, but paranoid (to be able to rise within the system) and then the power does NOT make them feel more secure. It just gives them the ability to strike first.

Her words: "Something is brewing. Something big."

Oh, and she's convinced that COVID was not an accident. She, and a lot of people she knows in China, strongly believe it was a miscalulated effort to test what they thought was a controllable virus which would cull the non-producing (Elderly, infirm) while merely grazing the more healthy (producers). It was paired up with the draconian personal credit policies China put into place around the same time as the virus breakout. All to accomodate the dire situation created by the past one child rule.

Saddam Hussein did a ruse a couple of times where he would stage a fake coup.

If the guard accepted, they killed him. The people who refused would live.

So you're saying if they refused the fake coup they were rewarded but the people who went along with the fake coup were punished. But the fake coup people who went along with the fake coup were also rewarded but only because it was fake and they knew. And if you tried to fake the coup with the fakers but you were not a pre authorized faker, you would be punished, but if you were with the real fakers or one of the original real fakers, then you were rewarded. But only if you pretended to go along.

196 An issue every dictator must continually think about: Who guards the guards?

In an authoritarian system the dictator has to rely on the people below him because he can't do everything himself. Generally he does this by formally or informally making them rich. Then those henchmen have to do with the people under them and so on.

It is a tough system to maintain because it is always in a henchman's benefit to remove the man above him if he can, which then leads to the need for constant terror and a cult of personality as you see in socialist systems. And you have to produce enough goods to keep your henchmen and the chain on down fat and happy.

210 I remember an historical precedent. When Big Adolph murdered Ernst Roehm and the SA in the Night of the Long Knives, our betters at the NYT and the rest of the MSM interpreted it as Hitler rejecting radicalism and indicating his desire to join the brotherhood of nations. Peace was at hand.
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks

Roehm was a homosexual, as were a lot of the SA, and later the SS. Hitler feared Roehm wanted to replace him as leading the NASDP. In the world of those kind of people, violent , harsh homosexuality was viewed as being the ultimate in manliness, and heterosexuality was viewed as weakness. A total moral inversion....and you wonder why today, in the 21st century, birth rates in Europe have fallen through the floor, way below replacement rate.
But Xi Jinping is probably very wary now of who he can trust and who he can't. I don't foresee any "invasion" of Taiwan just this moment. I think all along this was a Sun Tzu gambit, to put so much pressure on Taiwan that they would voluntarily submit. I think that is still the plan.

234 An issue every dictator must continually think about: Who guards the guards?

In an authoritarian system the dictator has to rely on the people below him because he can't do everything himself. Generally he does this by formally or informally making them rich. Then those henchmen have to do with the people under them and so on.

It is a tough system to maintain because it is always in a henchman's benefit to remove the man above him if he can, which then leads to the need for constant terror and a cult of personality as you see in socialist systems. And you have to produce enough goods to keep your henchmen and the chain on down fat and happy.

But the fake coup people who went along with the fake coup were also rewarded but only because it was fake and they knew. And if you tried to fake the coup with the fakers but you were not a pre authorized faker, you would be punished, but if you were with the real fakers or one of the original real fakers, then you were rewarded. But only if you pretended to go along.

It’s more specific than that, if memory serves, they claimed this just a month or two prior to the collapse.

Both the Soviet Union and Mao’s Communists received crucial support through the US State Department, the FDR administration first formally recognized the Soviets, among a great many other things. Chaing was slow rolled on supplies and arms and left hanging.

Sen. McCarthy was correct about the communist subversion in the State Department, it resulted in communist gains in Yugoslavia as well. They had their thumb on the scale in a great many countries.

Oh, sure he did, in the basement of the Big Lubyanka. "Iron Feliks" oversaw that. He wanted to eliminate anyone who might think about being a counter-revolutionary to his rule. Lenin's number of killed was nowhere close to Stalin's, just because he died (and Stalin probably was a party to him being poisoned).
Posted by: Pepperidge Farms remembers at January 27, 2026 01:07 PM (vcOmj)



Also, remember that Lenin was still dealing with the aftermath of the Civil War when he stroked out. He was still hunting down White Russians and simply hadn't gotten around to internal party purges yet.

One of the big mistakes the Spanish commies made during their civil war is that they spent more effort slaughtering their own fellow travelers than they did fighting Franco.

China's demographics, particularly with regard to excess males, leaves a limited window of opportunity for military adventurism, e.g. in Taiwan; IIRC, if they don't do it by 2050 at the outside, it won't get done. Chicoms are evil, not stupid, so they are presumably aware of what even strangers can see in their own society; as such, any major leadership changes in the military could be a signal for an increase or decrease in the imminence of action, and it's hard to say which as they are genuinely inscrutable.

How is ICE in the neighborhood not a real emergency? ICE is literally, LI-TERRR-ILL-EEE, LITERALLY!!!!!, sending people back to their home countries!

370 363 Doesn't emergency services have enough to do helping sick people, putting out fires, etc. without also tracking ICE?

In Arlington, Virginia, tracking ICE takes precedence for 911 operators and first responders rather than any of that other crap.

if the MN NatGuard and state police put it down, then it just becomes a "local problem solved as it should be" and it is a flash in the pan.

And if the pro-protesters go on to the next place to kick stuff apart, and maybe just then the Feds will start picking up the interstate travelers who conspired to commit crimes

Can't the operators just say "OK, thanks for calling" and hang up? Yeah, it's a disruption but it's not like they have to stay on the line and take a full report, is it?

394 The MN state police began their baton charge with the announcement, "you are under arrest. Sit down where you are and await instructions"

That is an amazing thing, since that makes everyone who doesn't comply and gets nabbed resisting arrest.
Of course it makes the smart ones run away faster.
