Thursday Overnight Open Thread - January 29, 2026 [Doof]

The Thursday ONT is here. So are you. No instructions necessary!

One. Two. Three??

Woman Discovers Third Breast After Giving Birth

Jasmine Mamiya, a mother of two, was shocked to learn she had developed a third breast after giving birth to her second child. While recovering in the hospital, a lactation consultant pointed out what appeared to be a nipple growing under her armpit — something Mamiya initially thought was just a skin tag.

The consultant explained that during pregnancy, it’s possible for some women to grow extra breast tissue along what’s called the “milk line” — a vertical path running from the armpits to the groin. These can sometimes form a full third breast, complete with a nipple, and even have the ability to produce milk.

Check out the whole story. There's a video clip at the link. It's less than whelming.

The NY Post story on this starts off in true Horde style:
"Jasmine Mamiya was in udder disbelief."

Central Florida man caught in ‘sexual performance’ with vacuum, deputies say

An Oviedo man was arrested this week after he was caught engaging in a “sexual performance” with a vacuum cleaner, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.

In a release, deputies said they responded to Grassendale Street in Kissimmee’s Windsor Hills Resort on Jan. 22 after receiving reports of a man “exposing his sexual organs in front of a residence.”

“The victims that observed this behavior provided a statement and a cell phone recording of a male, partially clothed, in front of a residence, engaged in a sexual performance with a vacuum cleaner,” the release reads.

Preparations are underway for the worldwide kicky-ball event happening later this year. Los Angeles is attempting to cover up graffiti in some areas. How's that working out for them?

Taggers target 'graffiti-proof' ivy installed along 101 Freeway ahead of FIFA World Cup

With the FIFA World Cup months away, Caltrans has been spending millions of dollars to clean up trash and graffiti on local freeways, but one effort to stop street art doesn't appear to be working.

Two weeks ago, Caltrans crews installed artificial ivy on the walls of the 101 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles to cover up and hopefully deter graffiti. But, taggers have already left their mark.

To cover up the graffiti, Caltrans crews are installing artificial ivy on the walls. There are mixed opinions on whether or not it's a good idea.

Contained in the story is an example of California ridiculousness.

Due to a mural and related agreements at this location and several walls along U.S. 101 in downtown Los Angeles, Caltrans is not legally allowed to paint over or remove graffiti.

I can't wait to not watch the World Cup this year.

Its not just 30 minutes at the start, which is also a thing because there are people *sitting* on posts reading the Cafe because they know the ONT is coming. Its also about the east coast and central time people who are eventually checking out because they have to go to bed. 30 minutes earlier means they're around and reading and posting for 30 minutes longer.

Knew a guy who would do inspections of repossessed houses, and said one house had a whole section of the wall of one bedroom sawn open, and the wiring, and whole-house vacuum system laid open and needing patching and repair.
He looked up incident reports in the neighborhood and found the EMTs had been summoned at one point to the address to release the young gentleman of the house from having his tally-whacker stuck in the vacuum system for some reason.

104 Great ONT, Doof. Gorgeous snow picture makes me sad. I want what everyone else has, called: winter. Vs cold with no snow. Life goes on. Next winter better be an improvement. I continue to pray for snow/rain and have hope.

I LOVE GLENN FREY.

Agree totally with the conservative woman in that the wacko liberal pierced women are latching on to something. To belong. I like the nitwit who said Good was shot because! she was a lesbo! No, not quite, try again!

I think many lesbos and liberal, pierced, green-haired women with pronouns simply never had a guy look at them or like them. Or sex. But I don't waste a lot of time worrying about them and wish they'd go away instead and be quiet without screams and whistles.

Doof, even I get the song connection as it is totally for the short bus, honey. And I am about ready for it with the lack of snow everyone else seems to have.

I don't cut pizza like a psycho, but I can't open resealable bags or boxes to save my life. My husband says it looks like a chimp on acid opens them. I don't care. Sometimes I try harder and sometimes I don't. I'm not perfect...but pretty dang close.

It’s worse than that. If the locals would honor ICE detainer requests the transfers would be performed at the courthouse or jail, in a secure location.

144 The vaccum story triggered a memory.

My husband had a co-worker with a fetish. Which we found out later after he fled for: Texas! hahahaha!

He hung out in the library and it turned him on to stick it in the books. An innocent woman would pull out a book, either a book of Elizabethan poems or 40 Shades of Grey, and THERE HE WAS! from the other side of the row of books!

When my husband told me this I cracked up laughing and said if it happened to me I'd whack that thing with the book as I yelled. He was a nerdy type, by the way. No one would look at him and scream pervert.

The same library, I think, I went to on my lunch break from the med center. I quit using the loo when a homeless wacko woman shot out of a stall and screamed at me to get out of her house! I did!

Near the newspapers there was the stench of homeless, reading the news and enjoying the AC. And this was 20yrs ago.

177 So we finished watching the Resident Alien series last night.

It was satisfying. Rounded the whole thing out. All the threads were tightened up, all the cast nicely featured, and nothing else needing to be said or done.

Best closing episode since… Bob Newhart.

Eureka has a pretty good ending of the last episode, so I recall. Need to watch it again.

But at the moment, we're at a loss for what to watch next. Might just have to go to bed early.

The SINGLE WORST song to get massive airplay is "Head over Heels" by Alanis. The song itself *sucks*. But the worst part is the GOD AWFUL HARMONICA SOLO that takes place.

I had the good fortune to see a few of my friendzone loves later and realize I'd dodged a few bullets just by being a dope. What's the line?

Stuff happens as planned. One of my male friends gave me feelings that he was interested. But never had the courage to do anything & I gave up. I honestly am thankful now as he got into some trouble with the law years later and seemed to be a cold SOB. When I rode his motorcycle with him in shorts and burned the heck out of my calf it was a sign. He did nothing. No empathy. I took that as a sign.

I married the crazy boyfriend instead, who broke up with me every season the first year we met at 22yrs. I think (other than my obvious charms and ambition), I impressed him by not whining, chasing, stalking or giving a hoot. I ain't going to beg anyone. We won!

My SIL was practically in tears the other day because she's afraid her adopted son ( who is nearly 40, Hispanic and American born) will be picked up by ICE and deported. Completely ridiculous, but her concern is genuine and my opinion doesn't count because "I'm in the Trump cult." And I'm childless, which I regret, and the only one in my family, now that my sister's husband has passed, who supports Trump. Going by demographics, I should be a screeching leftist cat lady.

Interesting you say that. I'm a bit retarded socially - oh you guys already figured that out eh? laugh away - anyways night after a frat party, we're in bed at my apartment, very drunk and there's this creepy as fck animal howl (prob a fox). She's terrified, wants me to go check it out.

Now, I'm drunk, it's cold, bed spinning, I don't want to get up, get dressed, go outside, monster or not. So I blow her off.

That was the last time we were together. And it wasn't until years later that it occurred to me - I failed a test. The primary role of a man is that of Protector. No wonder I lost her

The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was

But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing

So I dated, the sex, the intimacy dulled my heartache. Weeks turn into months, then 6 months and she brings you home to meet the parents, or daydreams out loud about your future together. And then comes the day when she realizes you can't love her because your heart belongs to another. And it always hit them like a copper plated bastard coming out of nowhere.

One of them lost me to the Marine Corps. How callous that must have felt - I'm off to join the foreign legion because there's nothing for me here (especially you)

It may appear to be a matter of semantics...

Feds should not put in "Detainer Requests", but "Release Notice Demands".

Illegal Alien John Doe is wanted for Federal Law violations.
You may coordinate and remand Joe Doe to Federal custody, or
Provide 48 hour notice before release of his sentence to turn over to Federal custody.*

* Failure to coordinate either case will be de facto evidence of aiding and abetting...

I'm not trying to be crass, but I'm guessing there's a life insurance policy built into the mortgage payment that guarantees the bank gets it money if you both slip the surly bonds of earth. You might be a better risk than a 30-something who could just default and walk away.

I was just reading the forecast discussion from the boys at GSP about this weekend's little snow storm. It's going to be quite anomalous for us here. Very low 500 mb geopotential height, near a record they say. Also high dendritic snow crystal growth which will result in very high solid to liquid rations, about 15 to 20:1. That's quite rare for snow here. That means a dry, light fluffy snow. And it's gonna get gusty, and that means blowing snow. All that is quite rare for us here.

Only hook is having to have hazard insurance to make mortgage company happy.

They say "not out of the question" for blizzard conditions in isolated areas here and there, but generally will remain below the threshold for a warning for that, which is visibility less than a 1/4 mile with wind gusts of 35 mph or better for three consecutive hours. That's the official "blizzard" level, I believe.

Posted by: Kindltot

22% is solid. Especially if they also make you take mortgage insurance on top of the usual. Rock solid risk free loan.
You can figure on a home purchase that about 25% is parasitic overhead. Straight up profit and O/H for the builder, developer, real estate agent commissions, title, bonding, closing.... Brokers... Total parasitic waste.

504 I had a friend (violin player) who had perfect pitch. He said he disliked playing a piece with a piano in it, because it was rarely in tune, and he had to tune his instrument to it. He said it was difficult to play correctly, because he wanted to pull the notes.
In no piano situations, he said he had no problem convincing the other musicians to tune to him.

Posted by: buddhaha at January 30, 2026 12:55 AM (qfI/e)

I totally understand that. It used to drive me crazy when trying to learn songs from an album that wasn't tuned to exact 440. Not to piss off Doof, but Rush's farewell to kings album is a trainwreck when it comes to that. Some songs are just not in 440. Its like they either sped up or slowed down the recording in the mix down. Now you have to tune the guitar to the album, and you're grabbing notes on the guitar while listening to notes that aren't in any correct pitch, and the pitch it's in doesn't exist in normal space time. Its not an E, not an E flat, or sharp, its some thing else. Now you're listening to the song, your mind says put your finger here, but you're not hearing what "here" normally sounds like, so yeah you start to pull notes.

I held forth on Tuesday night at great length. I'm following closely, and I agree that gutting the CMC is a crazy move if Taiwan is still something they want to do. The point of the CMC is to provide a single command node but under divided control. Now Xi has to personally direct all movements.

It's stupid, inefficient, and it makes the other generals nervous.

I did see that Taiwan is now doing large-scale anti-invasion drills with US advisors helping them use new equipment like HIMARS. They're looking at a phased invasion and are registering their rocket artillery (so to speak) on stepping stone islands China could use as staging areas.

A bunch of drones are bad enough for surface warfare like in Ukraine. I am not sure that ship tactics have advanced enough especially crowded and slow invasion ships to prevent truly horrendous losses at sea and on beach heads.

Apparently the Chicoms also don't have much quality control on their warships either and that can be a major issue in a fight. Exocets came as a nasty surprise to the Royal Navy during the Falklands and drones promise to be at least that bad in terms of sinking ships.

They're starting a bit earlier because of that cold blast that will hit Feb 1. It's forecast to get to maybe 26F at the Cape. By starting earlier, they'll keep it within the temp minimums for tanking.

"The deal (with PDT) reflects what senators in both parties had floated just a day earlier: passing a short-term funding bill for DHS, while the two parties negotiate changes to the department and ICE, which it oversees, along with bills to fund the rest of the government through Sept. 30.

The final outstanding issue in the negotiations was how long the stopgap bill, known as a continuing resolution or CR, would fund DHS. The two sides agreed to a two-week CR that would keep DHS running through Feb. 13, just before both chambers depart for a weeklong recess, the sources told NBC News."

China's last naval battle was more than a century ago. They lost.

The key question is finding a commander. There has to be an overall commander with control over land, sea, air and space domains. Anyone Xi picks would be able to depose him. As anyone who has wisely read Walls of Men knows, this is how dynasties can change. It is how the Ch'ing were overthrown.

The latest model runs, both GFS and Euroweenie are warming Florida up a bit the night of Jan 31 - Feb1. They had the freeze line getting all the way down to nearly Miami, but now it's backing up above Lake Okeechobee. Miami will hit 36F, rather than 33F on the previous runs.

Still looking like a good mid-20s hard freeze way down the central peninsula, though.

Once had one right next to my row right in the middle of taking drink orders when her pen ran out. The aisle was jam packed in both directions and she looked panicked. I offered her my pen. She looked so relieved, and whispered "were you going to order a drink? It's on the house." I whispered back, "can I get a couple beers?"

She brought me two beers and a whole box of assorted snacks and told me to take whatever I wanted. And returned my pen.

The SLS uses 5-segment SRBs -- they redid the joints on the things. But they're preloaded with the solid mixture anyway, not fueling required for those.

The minimum launch temperature varies from 38F to 49F depending on other variables. High RH and higher wind (up to a cutoff) counterintuitively allows for cooler launch minimums. Dry and calm means the upper end minimum.

134 There was an interesting article/opinion is read a few weeks ago talking about the military in Iran nkt being what we might think it is. It is more like Praetorian Guard or Terrorists. They will not respond like being of the people but rather as to b keep the pay flowing and do so by terroristic means.

I'd also say the military is almost entirely Islamjc while the population is more of a mix. That is one thing that has been mentioned about the immigrant crisis (foreign army!) But that is historically true.

Yep, sure was. I was there.

A building a few doors down from my dad's accounting office in Niagara Falls caught fire and there was a fear that the fire department wasn't going to be able to put it out before the whole block burned down. His buddy across the street got out his snowmobile as did my dad and he and my dad, with me clinging crammed on back, defied the travel ban to snowmobile all the way into the city and rescue some important file boxes. In the end, they did get the fire out with no damage to adjoining buildings. And we didn't get busted by the fuzz.

We were able to walk up the snow bank to the roof of our 2 1/2 story split-level. Made for some great pics.

I later wore Jessica McClintock that smelled floral. They stopped making it, but people liked it and asked what it was. One nurse director said it gave her a headache. I didn't like her and thought, "Good!" as she was not my boss. The only problem was that bees and yellow jackets (allergic to them) would chase me.

I now wear Dior J'adore because it's floral and not super strong. Many perfumes are too strong for me or smell like men's cologne.

It was the best of times.

I'm rather shocked at photos of what I wore at times, and no doubt my family was. However, I rocked it and if no one said anything I was oblivious.

At one of my second cousin's weddings I served punch. I was wearing a plum velvet mini dress with lace on the long sleeves. In the family photo it is very short and probably blew my grandmother, aunt, parents, and family of the bride's minds. Behind the tablecloth you couldn't tell. But, oh, boy, it was short.

At a summer family reunion, after church, I am wearing a tee shirt & my Daisy Duke's with about 50 relatives. If my mother and grandmothers had said anything I would have changed, as I was not ornery and rebellious, just clueless as to how much leg I was showing.

Years prior my mother did tell me to hit an uncle of hers if he touched my back to see if I was wearing a bra (training bra, training 'em for something). He didn't. It would have been a spicy reunion if I knocked him off the porch! She had to explain later, that he felt up her sister as a teen.So she was on alert for the perv.

This may shock some of the most easily shocked readers, but it turns out that the pampered foreign communist Zohran Mamdani has been in office for two weeks and he's already out of money and will need to liberate more money from taxpayers.

🚨 BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani Says New York City is Facing a "Fiscal Crisis at the Scale of the Great Recession"

"That means looking inward into savings and efficiencies. That also means raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations."

Former mayor Eric Adams calls bullsh*t.

Eric Adams
@ericadamsfornyc


In case anyone was wondering, this was the real motive behind today's press conference.

Mayor Mamdani promised a laundry list of "free" giveaways to buy votes, with no plan to pay for them. Now that the math doesn't work, instead of owning the fact that he misled New Yorkers, he's blaming me.

Let's be clear: I left him over $8 BILLION in reserves.

This is the same Mamdani who spent years attacking me for not spending enough during the migrant crisis.

The only reason those reserves exist is because I ignored him and his socialist comrades who demanded we blow billions more with no guardrails.

"Free" isn't free. It's just a bill someone else has to pay.

Will Chamberlain
@willchamberlain

The most basic category error the left makes - repeatedly - on every police shooting is to characterize the shooting as an unjust "punishment" for the conduct of the person shot. They then argue that said person didn't "deserve" to be "executed," and so clearly the police officer is in the wrong.

That's not what it's about. It's NEVER what's it's about. Punishment is administered through the judicial system. The right of a law enforcement officer to use deadly force in self-defense or defense of others is about the rights of the officer, his colleagues, and nearby civilians as human beings whose lives have value, too. They have a right to respond to the imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm with deadly force. And in exercising that right, they are not judged from the perspective of an omniscient superhuman, with perfect knowledge of everything happening in that moment; they are held to the standard of the reasonable person perceiving what they can from that viewpoint.

In the words of William Munny, deserve's got nothing to do with it.

Tiffany Cross is a very low-IQ black racist fired by MSNBC for being a basket-case and a liability. Of course CNN's Abby Phillip decided she needed to feature this Empowered Black Woman Racist on her failing show.

Cross just claimed a few days ago that a "right wing extremist" had killed Charlie Kirk -- apparently she's a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, or, maybe, Candace Owens.

Note that CNN routinely cancels people for dealing in "misinformation."

But not here, of course.

And she was back at it last night, this time asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that ICE is a "white supremacy" "militia" which is now staffed almost entirely by... Proud Boys.



O'LEARY: "Did you just say ICE officers are militia?!"

CROSS: "Yes. Have you not been paying attention?"

O'LEARY: "Yeah...I think you're stretching a little bit."

CROSS: "They certainly mirror the Gestapo."

O'LEARY: "This is a federal, state mandate, you're pushing that a little bit there. That's WAY offside."

*Abby Phillip looked concerned.*

PHILLIP: "But Tiffany, you're just making a supposition here. There's no concrete evidence of actual Proud Boy members."

O'LEARY: "Yeah, you gotta be careful here. That's WAY offside. These are men and women serving the government, risking their lives, serving the government. You're calling them Proud Boy militia, did you say that?!"

"You're way offside, way offside."

CROSS: "I'm actually not. But I think that there are White supremacist tattoos on their necks."

O'LEARY: "White supremacist federal officers?!"

CROSS: "Yeah! White supremacist federal officers!"

O'LEARY: "Okay that's...where are you going with this? Why would you say that?! Men and women working for the federal government, risking their lives, carrying out a mandate and their White supremacists?!"

CROSS: "Yes, and you're a member of a cult..."

O'LEARY: "WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!"

They want war. They will have it.

there was a thread somewhere talking about a D&D campaign with only Chaotic Evil characters, as an experiment. At one point the troupe finds powerful magical armor, the highest power member claims it, then everyone realized it would be enough to make them all slaves with no escape so they attacked everyone to capture it. They all killed each other, and the two remaining members of the troupe were dueling it out when a magical beastie came through and killed them both because they couldn't defend and attack at the same time while injured.

Never what they'll do for the country, never what they'll do for the citizens. Its always what they will DO to the citizens, and who is going to pay. Its always about who gets targeted for their grand plans. Its always about who will fucking pay. They eventually will need to be destroyed, because they aren't going anywhere, and are getting more sinister by the day. The next time they get in power the biden administration will look like it was run by a den mother. make peace with it, because there will be war, or camps.

But that's doesn't mean anything is *healthy.*

Per the city Comptroller, total debt was:

FY2025Q4: $46,720,936,500

What remains is an insurgency, but even there the mismatch in resources is massive. Minnesota was the perfect test run to show how the feds could be sent packing and with less than a brigade equivalent, the feds are winning.

259 Corn and soybeans are Minnesota’s top agricultural commodities by value, with corn for grain and soybeans leading in both production and revenue. In 2024, corn for grain generated over $5.85 billion in value, while soybeans contributed $3.29 billion. Hogs rank as the third most valuable commodity, with a production value exceeding $2.7 billion. Other major commodities include dairy products, cattle and calves, potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, oats, and turkeys.

Minnesota is a national leader in several crops: it is the top producer of sugar beets, green peas for processing, and farm-raised turkeys. The state also ranks highly in corn and soybean production, and is a major hub for livestock, particularly hogs and dairy.

In addition to agriculture, iron ore is a key mineral commodity, with Minnesota leading the U.S. in production. The state’s agricultural exports are substantial—$9.2 billion in 2021, with soybeans, corn, pork, and feed products among the top exports. You may now continue.

It's a combination of the "compassionate" and the cheap that got us to where we are. The ones who claim that institutions are cruel joined with those who claim that institutions are too expensive to empty, then destroy, facilities that house, involuntarily, people with mental.issues. It's not just the left, it's the "fiscally conservative".
Incidentally, from accounts by those who almost went that way, once you get past the shivering state, freezing is a fairly calm and painless way to go. But, if found and hospitalized, recovery from that state is neither.

294 For a long time, I was worried about civil war. The parallels with Spain were uncanny. ...

But that didn't happen, and the correlation of forces make any kind of open hostilities impossible for the left. They are incapable of organizing large scale volunteer units and the National Guard will not mutiny against the federal government.

What remains is an insurgency, but even there the mismatch in resources is massive. Minnesota was the perfect test run to show how the feds could be sent packing and with less than a brigade equivalent, the feds are winning. ...
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at January 29, 2026 07:17 PM (ZOv7s)


Also, since the Commie-led states are mostly on the coasts, Minnesota is isolated. They're essentially operating on exterior lines, while the Feds are operating on interior lines and can move back-and-forth quickly.

I have wondered about Pres. Trump declaring Minnesota to be in a state of insurrection and then just send a General with some big balls to walk into Walz's office and tell him that he's under arrest.

I held forth on Tuesday night at great length. I'm following closely, and I agree that gutting the CMC is a crazy move if Taiwan is still something they want to do. The point of the CMC is to provide a single command node but under divided control. Now Xi has to personally direct all movements.

It's stupid, inefficient, and it makes the other generals nervous.

I did see that Taiwan is now doing large-scale anti-invasion drills with US advisors helping them use new equipment like HIMARS. They're looking at a phased invasion and are registering their rocket artillery (so to speak) on stepping stone islands China could use as staging areas.

As Questions Mount About Ilhan Omar's Rags-to-Riches "Virtual Winery," She Deletes All Online Traces of the "Business" That Supposedly Made Her Rich

Maybe slightly suspicious.

David Strom:

By now you have likely heard about her rapid--as in rocket-speed--rise in wealth, although due to federal reporting requirements, the range within which her net worth is measured is millions of dollars, so no precise percentage increase is out there. But let's just say that in terms of rapid rises, Nancy Pelosi would be quite impressed.

The commonly floated numbers are a rise from about $15,000 net worth to about $30 million.

A major part of that growth in wealth has been the rapid rise in the valuation of a sketchy "winery" from a few thousand dollars to a whopping $5 million to$15 million, despite having (perhaps) released few wines and, in recent years, none at all. Its locations appear to be empty buildings, its wines are unavailable, and once attention was turned to its sketchy nature, all the information about it disappeared from the internet.

It's a remarkable "success story," but one that may be as real as a Somali healthcare company. The money appears, but the product...not so much. It sure LOOKS like money laundering.

The "virtual winery" has been scrubbed from the internet just days after Benny Johnson reported that it looked fake:

Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson
🚨How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery?

This is insane. We investigated. Check this out...

Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is 'eStCru LLC.'

In 2023 it was valued at $15k.
In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!)

This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except... the winery does not even exist:

- No phone line
- No physical winery
- Social media gone dark
- A barely functional 'website'
- No wine lol

What is this?!

It gets worse: Omar's third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it's all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud.

How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover.

Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called 'The Devil's Lie'

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress MUST investigate this fraud further.

My stolen valor perp tried that. Three problems:
1) legally its known as consciousness of guilt, "where a defendant's post-crime behavior—such as fleeing, destroying evidence, or lying—suggests awareness of their own culpability"
2) Judges hate that, it biases them against you
3) the internet is forever

15 It gets worse: Omar's third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it's all fraudulent.

On one hand, Mynett's an obvious fraudster if the reportage is true and should make restitution under the law. On the other hand, retards who invest millions of dollars sight unseen without checking if, you know, the thing they're investing ACTUALLY FUCKING EXISTS are retards and maybe need to learn that touching a hot stove does indeed burn your hand.

So Omar isn't safe simply because of her party or her race. But this leads to the question of why she has been protected up until now (heck, even Biden's DOJ was investigating her).

70 I suspect the winery might not be money laundering but a different kind of scam: good old fashioned pump-and-dump.

It seems like her gay husband was selling “investments’ in the winery. You want big investments you need big valuations. Selling 5% of a $15k business doesn’t rake in nearly as much as that same 5% of a $15M business.

The pump-and-dump is about drastically inflating the true value of a company, selling shares at drastically inflated prices, pocketing that money, and then when the company inevitably tanks, it’s a big “oopsie!”

This is what I suspect the winery was.

I'm thinking of all this is how to get taxpayer cash laundered into their own accounts. You've got the learing centers, daycare, and health care scams raking in the federal cash.

Now, you want to skim that into your own bank accounts. The wineries and consulting business or whatever the hell are part of that somehow.

115 suspect the winery might not be money laundering but a different kind of scam: good old fashioned pump-and-dump.

It seems like her gay husband was selling “investments’ in the winery. You want big investments you need big valuations. Selling 5% of a $15k business doesn’t rake in nearly as much as that same 5% of a $15M business.

The pump-and-dump is about drastically inflating the true value of a company, selling shares at drastically inflated prices, pocketing that money, and then when the company inevitably tanks, it’s a big “oopsie!”

This is what I suspect the winery was.

I would like to see Minnesota invaded and placed under martial law, but I don't know how well it would play in Peoria. I think the Left thinks they can control it and swing it to their favor if that happens, win or lose on the street. Their behavior indicates they REALLY want the army sent in.

I'm being a pedantic dick here, but what I described and the classic notion of money laundering aren't the same thing.

Money laundering is where you already have a pile of ill-gotten funds that you need to be able to slip into the banking system or purchase goods with in something other than briefcases full of coke money. To that end, you set up a storefront where the cashflow through it is hard to quantify, then cook your books to pass the dirty cash through as though it's legitimate proceeds of the business.

What I described is just a way to "legally" peddle influence, like Hunter Biden was clearly doing, or like Killary charging $800k for a speaking engagement, or Latrine John-Pissoir getting a multimillion dollar advance on a book that nobody is going to buy.

Sure, masking bribery isn't the same as money laundering, but the two are more alike than they are different. Both are obscuring the source and destination of funds. In the former, it's from bribers and to the bribed. In the latter, it's from the left pocket and into the right. Mechanically similar, though.

220 I thought Muslims were opposed to alcoholic beverages.

We live in interesting times. Years ago, before everything got so savage, a muslim guy had a nice restaurant not far from me. Apparently his imam took the broader view, because he was a heck of a bartender, and joked, "Look, my faith says I can't drink this stuff. It doesn't say I can't serve it to you. You'll have to tell me if it's OK, though." I'm afraid those days are gone. But his cousin has a gourmet place, with artisan drinks at the bar and an excellent (Bekaa Valley) wine list. Best in town.

She endorses sharia law. That's the hard line. She's not allowed, within her faith, to make, sell, consume or even touch alcohol. But that in itself won't keep you out of Congress.

With what these people do, that alone is winning. The least competent end up broke and disgraced, but not even the most sinister ever face real consequences. If I steal a candy bar, I go to jail. If I kidnap someone, I go to prison. If I kill someone, I get the needle.

And "sometimes evil people die in luxury" is a false equivalence. It is surely true, but not relevant here.

Actor: I'm Willing to See 50 Million (or 500 Million) People Die for the Sake of the Worldwide Communist Revolution

This is an actor that I've seen people gush about, but he always seemed like a hammy, flouncy cheeseball and DEI hire to me.

John Nolte:


Actor Giancarlo Esposito crystallized today's Democrat Party by admitting he is willing to see people die to fulfill his revolution.

This is a direct quote, per the far-left Variety, and these are the words of a narcissistic sociopath. Block quotes are Variety's...

This is time for a revolution -- and they don't even know that's what they're starting. We have to stand up to it. They can't take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin's doorstep or the Iranians' doorstep or in Washington, they'd kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].

Don't you get it, you over-privileged, leftist dummies?

Do you not see it?

You bored, spoiled brats attempting fill the God-shaped hole in your soul by attacking law enforcement, destroying private property, and provoking violence are nothing more or less than cannon fodder to Democrat Party elites like Giancarlo Esposito.

Read what he said.

Read his own words.


This is time for a revolution
If the whole world showed up ... in Washington
they'd kill 500 or 50 million
the rest of us would survive with a new [world].

The rest of us.

No you.

Us

Us would survive.

You can bet he'd survive.

Would he, though?

In further news: Horrible failed actress Kristen Stewart, who can no longer land a role due to failure after failure and lack of actual talent and lack of attractiveness, says she's going to leave the US because, you see, she can't get work Because Trump.

This is a lethal dose of Cope. She can't get a job because she has always been talentless and wasn't even attractive when young -- she was "nonthreatening" to female audiences -- and now she's aged out of acting.

But whatever, it's because the Bad Orange Man is calling up casting agents and telling them "don't hire the slack-jawed whore Kirsten Stewart.

Actress Kristen Stewart says she is planning to flee the U.S.A. over her disdain for President Donald Trump's America First policies. "I'd like to make movies in Europe and then shove them down the throat of the American people," she said.

The Twilight star told the UK Times that she intends to continue pursuing her directorial career in Europe because she thinks she "can't work freely" in the United States thanks to Trump.

She added that she shot The Chronology of Water, her directorial debut, in Latvia because "it would have been impossible to do in the States."

What she means is that this is a zero-budget vanity project which she had to film overseas to keep labor costs to an actual minimum.


Stewart also thinks Trump's thus far unrealized threats to put tariffs on foreign film productions is "terrifying."

"Reality is breaking completely under Trump," she told the paper. "But we should take a page out of his book and create the reality we want to live in."

Looks like you're already doing that, and blaming your complete rejection by audiences and industry insiders on Trump's conspiracy to deny you movie roles.

Here's who they're determined to protect:


Rapid Response 47
@RapidResponse47

An illegal alien in Minneapolis killed an innocent mother and severely injured two others after back-to-back drunk driving crashes (in which he did not have a valid driver's license nor insurance).

He was arrested for vehicular homicide. The day after the crash, ICE placed a detainer on the illegal alien -- but he was released because the "sanctuary city" of Minneapolis refused to honor it.

Months later, when he was finally charged, he was (predictably) nowhere to be found. When he was finally arrested on the outstanding warrant, officials released him AGAIN despite ICE placing another detainer on him that very same day.

Fortunately, ICE tracked this criminal illegal alien down and deported him back to his home country where he belongs.

All ICE was asking was that officials notify them when he was released so they could arrest him in the safety of the jail rather than expend significant resources to locate and arrest him in public -- something that jeopardizes both the officers' safety and the safety of the public.

Instead, Minneapolis officials did everything in their power to keep the criminal illegal alien roaming the streets of their city.

This is the dangerous policy that @GovTimWalz, @MayorFrey, @AGEllison, and other Democrats support.

And Critical Drinker, coincidentally enough, did a "Crash and Burn" episode about Kristen Stewart's banishment from Hollywood a month ago -- before she revealed that she "couldn't work freely" in the US only due to Trump.

As he mentions, she always has her mouth hanging open. In attractive women, this can appear pretty sexy. With this imbecile, it just looks like she's an unhealthy, stunted-brained mouth-breather.

You forgot to include the critical-
...despite "coming out" as bisexual in 2017 in a desperate, but ultimately failed, attempt to gain some kind of relevance without having to actually do anything.

And how can you say her acting was horrible? Wiki's first paragraph says "she is known for her subtle and naturalistic style of acting." It's so much like a normal person, you just can't appreciate its brilliance!

I don't know anything about this movie, but taking a wild guess, I'd say it's not a stupid blockbuster based on a comic book, Star Wars, or some other severely abused franchise.

So, yeah, impossible in Hollywood. It happens to you, too, K-Stew.

104 Kristen Stewart is average looking. That was how she got the role in the vampire movies - she was supposed to be an average, normal looking person caught up in all this supernatural nonsense.

I've always thoughts she was just okay as an actress. not really talented, but not horrible. Just...meh. What was funny was how she got shoved into...everything. Even roles way outside her ability. Action roles? seriously?

We are not normal to begin with, but in earthquakes it really shows. The last big one, several years ago, instead of staying in bed (like you are supposed to as we were in bed), we stood on the landing and watched the chandelier swing in the foyer. Found later in the basement holding hands under debris, like the couple after Pompei.

__________________________

Molly Ringwald was John Hughes's attempt to make his films relatable to the average teenager. Ringwald was purposely cast to reflect average looking. She always played the naive, down trodden, moody teen who couldn't rely on beauty to succeed. But, she always triumphed. Every single role, the very same premise.

She has a "resting bitch face"...and still does. She was a puzzle piece in that genre, and never a unique stand out.

If I - a normal, peaceable citizen with no criminal record - got drunk and killed someone with my car, I wouldn't be released pending trial. I would *probably* be remanded and if I did get bail, it would probably be into the six figures.

That's going a little far.

She does GREAT as someone who barely speaks a new language, is rather out of touch for being in suspended animation for 5000 years, and generally just goofy.

I mean, maybe that's typecasting, but she pulls it off well.

234 "Actor Giancarlo Esposito crystallized today's Democrat Party by admitting he is willing to see people die to fulfill his revolution."

Throw out your Breaking Bad CDs and skip his new crime thriller “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York!” But like Whoppi, he'll continue to live bigly on residuals and hangout with (a few) esteemed actors.

Reportedly, he also said, “Some very rich old white men are exerting their power to suppress our own people, thus creating a feeling of civil war in the streets, preparing the haters to hate, teaching them how to shoot.” “This is all a preparation for a very insidious problem that’s happening in our world. And for me, I have to speak out. We will not be ICE’d out. This is not going to happen.”

His current co-star, Tatiana Maslany, was one of many with “ICE Out” pins during press lines, studio shoots and other media appearances. Maslany wore two pins, the second representing “Artists for Ceasefire.”

“There is still genocide happening in Gaza,” she told Variety. “And as much as there’s a ‘Trump peace plan,’ Israel has continued to kill Gazans and people in Palestine.”

The first layer are loudmouths who do everything to attract attention. I imagine a few of them might be paid for or bussed in, but most are true believers.

The second layer are the violent thugs, usually black-bloc types. These are the ones most likely to come from out of town.

The third layer is entirely true believers, and just exist to be a large crowd for the second layer to fall back and blend into.

As for Stewart, just like a comment Ethan Hawk just made, what are these fags afraid of? They keep saying they're afraid of making movies and are silenced under Trump, but in 5 years of his presidency can they name what they are afraid of, because he hasn't dinner shit against them, and for being afraid of being silenced, they don't STFU.

Surprise! Left Wing Uses Pressure from Below, Pressure from Above Color Revolution Tactics to Push... Comprehensive Immigration Reform

As mentioned in yesterday's quick hits, the "color revolution" tactics employed by communists consists of organized violent "protests" meant to convince the majority of the public that they're actually the minority, and that they had better let the false "majority" get what they want or else the country will burn.

Meanwhile, the "elites" of the communist movement scheme to pass laws that will appease the false "majority," pretending they are responding to a popular movement conducted by others.

In fact, they're all part of the same psychological operation. The "elites" themselves organize, fund, and promote the so-called "spontaneous popular uprisings" and then trot out the legislation and policies they pretend they've draw up to respond to the "spontaneous popular uprisings," but in fact were drafted long, long ago. The "spontaneous popular uprisings" and the boiling-frog violent insurgency are executed just to give the communist "elites" cover to pass the unpopular legislation they always wanted to pass.

It's an "inside-outside" game -- some actors pretending to be on the "outside," with government insiders appeasing these violent "outsiders," but they're all insiders. They're all communist plotters. Some are just assigned the roles of domestic terrorism, and others assigned the role of passing laws to appease the domestic terrorists.

This is exactly the same "inside-outside" game played by terrorist groups, who each have their own supposedly "clean" "political wing." The IRA had Sinn Fein, Black September had the PLO, etc. The "clean" "political wings" supposedly have nothing to do with the terrorist wing-- but everyone knows they're working hand-in-glove together.

Except for the American media, which pretends it doesn't know that antifa is the violent terrorist wing of the Democrat Party. Because they're part of the inside-outside game, too.

So it makes perfect communist color revolution sense that the "insiders" are now pushing amnesty and open borders again, this time, supposedly as a way to avoid the further violence and chaos they're allied "outsiders" are perpetrating.

Byron York:


USING THE MINNEAPOLIS VIOLENCE TO PUSH IMMIGRATION REFORM. "Comprehensive immigration reform" has failed several times in Congress. The issue is too fraught, too complex, and the parties are too far apart for a fundamentally divided House and Senate to pass far-reaching legislation.

Nevertheless, calling for "comprehensive immigration reform" remains a safe strategy whenever immigration becomes a hot topic. For example, when the public finally caught on to the fact that President Joe Biden had set off a huge rush of millions of illegal immigrants, Democrats ran for political cover. Rather than demand that Biden close the border, which they didn't want to do and would also anger their activist groups, Democrats instead called for "comprehensive immigration reform," which made them sound like they wanted to address the problem." It was a safe harbor in a political storm.

Now we are in another storm, this time over events in Minneapolis. And some politicians, including some Republicans, are again calling for immigration reform.

In an op-ed in the New York Times, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) proposes a "common-sense bipartisan solution" to the violence and disorder that have accompanied President Donald Trump's aggressive effort to enforce federal immigration law in Minneapolis.

"Congress and the president need to embrace a new comprehensive national immigration policy that acknowledges Americans' many legitimate concerns about how the government has conducted immigration policy," Lawler writes. He praises Trump's record of stopping illegal border crossings and deporting 675,000 illegal immigrants. "Any balanced immigration policy would preserve and expand on this progress -- but humanely," Lawler writes, calling on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol to "reassess their current tactics."

And then it will be time for immigration reform. "A realistic plan would provide a path to legal status -- not citizenship -- for long-term illegal immigrants without criminal records," Lawler writes. "This path would be rigorous and fair ... those who benefit would face mandatory work requirements, forgo public assistance, and pay fines and any back taxes they might owe."

Would that work? One thing we know is that this kind of talk has been going on for decades. Multiple failed attempts to pass comprehensive immigration reform have taught a few lessons. The first is that Congress will not secure the border. Just not gonna happen. On the other hand, a president can do it, or not do it. Trump is doing it, but the next president could undo that progress at the border, just as Joe Biden did from 2021 to 2025.

The second lesson is that Congress will not legislate Trump-level deportation numbers. And even if it did, it would take measures to ensure that its own law is never enforced. Back in 2006, amid another immigration debate, Congress passed the Secure Fence Act, mandating the construction of fencing on significant parts of the U.S.-Mexico border. The next year, it passed a bill saying that nothing in the Secure Fence Act required any actual fencing to be built.

A third lesson is that when considering a "path to legal status" for "long-term illegal immigrants without criminal records," Congress will create a set of definitions --"long-term," and "without criminal records" and "work requirements" can be very, very flexible phrases -- that ends up including virtually everybody.

Read the whole thing.

Andrew McCarthy talks like a fag and his shit's all retarded, but even he gets it:

Andy McCarthy
@AndrewCMcCarthy

It has never made any sense that we owe illegal aliens a path to legal status. If people choose to come to or stay in our country illegally, why should Americans care that, by their lawbreaking, these aliens are consigned to live "in the shadows"? That's the choice they made, we didn't ask them to come. I'm fine with prioritizing criminal aliens for removal and not doing dragnets that drain resources to capture and deport every illegal alien. But that pragmatic indulgence doesn't mean we owe lawbreakers a legalization process. If you come/stay here illegally, then you willfully run the risk that you could be deported at any time. Your choice. Maybe you'll slip through the cracks forever, or maybe you'll run a red light and get caught tomorrow. Your choice, your risk, not our problem. I just don't understand why we should waste 5 minutes handwringing over a path to legal status. These are people who chose to live here illegally.

Since 1986, it's just been different sectors of the electorate getting radicalized into anti-immigrant positions.

Acting like it hasn't happened is ludicrous.

54 I think "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" is dead and buried and ain't coming back.

I wouldn't have said that a few years ago. But voters have finally seen that they're getting raped in the ass through their mouths by immigrants, and immigration, and the immigration lobby.

Voters are horrified and they want no more of it. A honest poll would show overwhelming support to throw every single illegal out, stop all immigration indefinitely, revoke citizenship for any foreigner who so much as failed to cross a "t" on their immigration forms, and throw criminal illegals into woodchippers.

Yes, yes, I know. Since when does Congress care what voters want? But this is different. There's a seething rage among voters over immigration that I think has become (or soon will become) another "third rail" in politics.

Issue polls are stupid and shouldn't be allowed, essentially.

"Would you rather that your undocumented, nice neighbors be left alone or people murdered by ICE?" is effectively the question.

But when it's more straightforward, like, "Do you want all illegals deported?" You get about 60% saying yes.

Deport them all. Don't worry about the optics (compare the generic congressional ballot today to January of 2018 to see how we're nowhere close to what Trump was facing before), and just keep your eye on the ball: deporting millions of people to save the lower classes $100 a month on rent.

It's the same reason Biden never boot American boots on the ground in Ukraine.

The backlash from the major policy failures of the last few decades would be very harsh, and everyone knows it.

The establishment may yearn for forever wars and amnesty, but there's a reason they don't even bring them up for show votes in Congress.

It is no longer an argument, it is a fight.

An argument is where two or more sides hash out a compromise or at least boundaries to allow them to coexist.

A fight is to cause so much screaming and pain that the other side surrenders or runs away

80 Newt Gingrich wants a national discussion to find the 'middle ground' on immigration.
Posted by: Chuck Martel

Newt hasn't been around the little people in a very long while but rubs elbows with donor elites for his projects. Elites get isolated from the people over time and thus come up with their patented bright ideas that turn out to be recycled shitty reruns of policy failures in the past. In this case, Reagan's worst mistake as president, amnesty.

GOP donors love it because a lot of them are involved in real estate, construction, and other cheap labor industries. Plus a certain amount of those donors look at the cash flows from human and drug trafficking and want a piece of that.

Same with the open borders on trade. These donors support what they can get out of America, not the people of America itself.

NO. We're not doing that, quisling.

HUMANE was something we could afford before you and the Democrats conspired to import 30 million invaders.

We can be humane once we have time to absorb into a homogeneous culture whomever we're unable to deport.

But we need to deport and deport and deport. We don't need to be purposely cruel, but we do need to be ruthless.

Are you here illegally? That's the only question that matters.

You're fleeing actual persecution and chance of death? You better have come here legally and requested asylum legally. Otherwise, get on the boat.

If they return home now, voluntarily, they can apply for citizenship.

If they don't, and catch them to send them home, they are barred from ever applying.

103 They never talk about the costs to actual citizens.

- affordability -- immigrants create price pressure on housing, medical care, education, social services, taxes,....

- stratification -- immigrants create a permanent underclass, removing the stepping stones for class mobility of the lower classes while providing cheap labor to the employer class

- security and trust -- you can not have a "trust based" security when you have 30% (or even 5%) of population as outsiders.

- shitificaton -- third worlders shift the standard for all products to what they will accept -- cheap and dirty. Why is American food shit? look to the migrants who buy most of it.

- culture -- we have a very special culture in the West. We can prove that by our progress and there is no value in diluting it.

111 Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced the suspension of 1,091 firms from the 8(a) Business Development Program – representing about 25% of all firms registered to participate in the federal government contracting program. The suspension comes after the firms failed to meet the agency’s January 19th deadline to submit three years’ worth of financial documents. In December, the SBA ordered all 4,300 firms to submit basic documentation to prove their legitimacy as part of the Trump SBA’s longstanding effort to root out small business contracting abuse by pass-through and shell companies that proliferated across the program during the Biden Administration.

Of the 1,091 suspended firms, about half have received some form of payment for contracted work with the federal government since 2021. Collectively, they have received payments of over $5 billion in the last four years.

There have been construction sites rolled up. Remember the video from Jacksonville a few months ago?

The problem is that big construction companies like Lenar do not hire construction labor. They subcontract out that to other firms.

So, the other firms, assuming they don't do the bare minimum of hiring illegals who received valid SSNs from the Biden administration (literally millions of them), are getting rolled up, but most can point to the fact that Jose who came into America in 2023 got an SSN as proof that the company did their due diligence.

NO dual citizenship. Period.
NO chain migration beyond elderly parents, and the parent don't get to bring anyone else.
Declaring public allegiance to any other country is revocation of your citizenship or immediate deportation. It only requires a court process if you're a citizen.
No immigration can be bought. (No H1Bs.) Period.
If you come here illegally, neither you nor anyone related to you can EVER come to America, to the 5th generation and for 5 branches (2d cousin thrice removed is where you could start allowing them in).
All refugee programs require Congress to approve the group, and it must be re-affirmed by Congress every 6 months. Immediate expulsion is the result of not extended. (And none can be extended beyond 2 years.)

"A realistic plan would provide a path to legal status -- not citizenship -- for long-term illegal immigrants without criminal records," Lawler writes. "This path would be rigorous and fair ... those who benefit would face mandatory work requirements, forgo public assistance, and pay fines and any back taxes they might owe."

================

Lawler calls this "realistic"? He actually thinks some non-citizen status without voting rights and bennies, and fines and back taxes (lol, as if those are gonna be paid and not waived) is going to be their final demand?

150 Someone ask Lawler about this;

Rockland County Jail and ICE Detainers
Rockland County does not honor ICE detainers, meaning local authorities will not hold individuals beyond their scheduled release date to facilitate ICE custody transfer. This policy has led to cases where individuals with serious criminal histories—such as a Guatemalan national arrested for rape—were released from Rockland County Jail despite ICE issuing detainers, only to be later apprehended by ICE in the community

Yep. I went from being politically ignorant on 09/10/01 at age 25 to political engaged on 09/11/01 to enthusiastically a Republican and W voter in 2004 to completely disgusted and no longer a Republican voter or W supporter in 2006 during the Amnesty push by W and the GOP.

If there was black-pilling in 2006, the Amnesty betrayal by the GOP did it to me.

The sad and depressive thing is the GOP has just gotten worse and worse regarding immigration over the past 20 years since then.

I only started voting GOP again when President Trump campaigned on illegal immigration enforcement and border enforcement... and no one else in the GOP seconded his campaign promises regarding those issues. That told me they were same shitbirds they were in 2006.

Okay, they have to do more than just look at the number. They have to go through e-verify- which is run by DHS. If they can prove they did this, and everything came back okay, then fine. All is well.

After that, I had no use for them, and since then, my disdain for them has turned to hate. After what they've done over the last ten years, the only reasonable thing to do is lock the GOP in a squalid, typhoid ridden prison camp, with starvation rations and chicory.

The second lesson is that Congress will not legislate Trump-level deportation numbers.



They won't legislate Biden-level deportation numbers either, because they're a bunch of grifting cowards. They could have legislated amnesty, and virtually open borders at any time, especially when the Donks had control of all three branches of govt.

230 Close the borders forever. No more third world immigration. Only a small number of immigrants from Western Europe. H1 visa program is scrapped. Hire from within; train from within.

Cancel all visas and deport anyone on them. Defend the border with men and drones. Treat anyone crossing as an invader.

287 The Trump administration should go on the offense.

During the Obama administration, Holder's DOJ would go into local police departments and examine their emails for any items such as jokes about Obama or statements that might have a racial element and use that to claim civil rights violations and impose a DOJ settlement on the entire local agency.

The Trump administration should go through the emails and texts of the local Minneapolis police department and other local "sanctuary" jurisdictions to identify any items where police or other local government employees are encouraging or helping criminal illegal aliens evade capture by federal law enforcement.

The locals cannot be ordered to help federal agents but any interference or obstruction with federal activities exposes them to conspiracy charges and can be used to implicate the entire local department. A settlement might require them to cooperate with the federal government in removal of illegal aliens.

100% agreed.

There has never been a need for "comprehensive immigration reform", even going back to 2006. What has been necessary since at least 2006 is comprehensive immigration law enforcement. Enforce the laws that have been on the books for decades. Arresting and deporting every illegal alien immediately. Arresting every leader of a company that does business with illegal aliens and shutting down their businesses.

Had that been the "comprehensive immigration reform" put forth in 2006, we would not be in this mess now.

Considering we now know that the WEF has been pushing this illegal invasion in every western nation in the world the past 2-3 decades, tells me that W, McCain, Grahamnesty and the entire GOP back then were WEF stooges as well.

309 If you've ever wondered if the League of Women Voters was truly nonpartisan, wonder no more.

Tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act

The House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act for the second time in April 2025. The SAVE Act would require citizenship documentation to register to vote even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering.

Now, the Senate must reject this bill to prevent it from becoming law.

It is already illegal for noncitizens to register and vote in federal or state elections. The bill’s requirement of a document to prove American citizenship to register to vote in federal elections is unnecessary and seeks to divide us. It also creates another barrier to voting.

I don't know about the manufacturer/wholesale level, but a bar is a classic money-laundering vehicle, because so much of the revenue is in cash.

Many years ago, one of the local motorcycle gangs (back when there was more than one... nowadays you're either a Hell's Angel or you're dead) owned a couple of bars. They'd have some crazy drink special nearly every night of the week (say, 25 cent beers). Naturally, these places were always packed.

Now, they were obviously losing money on the beers (probably 50 cents wholesale at that time, meaning they were losing 25 cents per), BUT... they had records of selling mumbledymumble thousands of beers. "And, Mr. IRS man, our regular price for a beer is $3.00 each." Never mind that the "regular" price almost never applied.

Each $0.25 beer sold let them launder $2.75 in illicit money (the $3.00 "regular price" minus the 25 cent loss). That money was now "clean", usable for buying houses, new motorcycles, whatever.

Trump later rejected that explanation, arguing the stoppage was used to clear Republican poll watchers from the room before ballots were retrieved from beneath a table and scanned without supervision.

"In Fulton County, Republican poll watchers were ejected, in some cases, physically from the room under the false pretense of a pipe burst -- 'water main burst, everybody leave,' which we now know was a total lie," Trump told supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. He claimed the episode coincided with a sudden surge of votes for Biden and alleged that tens of thousands of ballots were processed while observers were absent.

There's going to come a point where a voice gains prominence in the Democrat Party who says this:

"Obama destroyed us. His corruption led the party to making terrible decisions, including stealing the 2020 election which just made Trump and MAGA stronger. He had to do this because he hollowed out our long-esteemed party to radical interests more concerned with graft than delivering for the American people. We cannot move forward as a party until Obama and all his minions are cast from the party apparatus."

Second, the DNI taking the lead suggests intelligence agency involvement (foreign and/or domestic). It, also, suggests there might be FISA warrant(s) active in advance to the FBI's warrant.

And, then you have the whole Dominion voting machine issue and a relationship with Venezuela, which could also explain a DNI presence.

If they get hauled to jail at last, I'll be pleased. But there's no way to make Rudy's bank accounts whole again.

IIRC his case was specific to the two women that pulled ballots out hidden below their work stations after chasing out R observers.

To save Rudy you'd need evidence that one or both of the women was involved with whatever the feds are looking at here specifically. Which...could be but who knows.

I think there's still time in the near future for someone to do it and have an effect.

But the Democrat Party has atrophied a lot of natural support amongst the working class.

The problem right now is, I think, a media access issue. The leftist media is controlled by leftists from top to bottom. "No more immigration," gets attacked by X users and the NYT in equal measure, so there's not chance of the message traveling.

So, money to buy airtime, so to speak, is necessary to break through from the activist class to the bulk of primary voters.

"All the welfare, but only for Americans, kick out everyone else" would win a lot of hearts and minds on the left.

Remember, at the time Georgia had a republican governor and a republican Secretary of State. If there was going to be any election rigging it would’ve been in favor of the GOP.

he’s trying to find out who voted for who, so he can go after anyone who voted Dem, charge them with a felony, and then take away their right to vote.

Legal Eagle said it best in their latest video. The Trump administration is playing games with the legal system so that they can tweet about it. Literally everything they do is accompanied by a camera crew and a tweet.

Trump is trying plant falsified documents in order to retcon the outcome of the 2020 election to appease his basket of deplorables

Can someone explain what DNI Tulsi Gabbard was doing there? This smells to high heaven!

They cheated in 2020. They were supposed to win GA, but they didn't. They need to figure out what broke in their cheating process so the next election is rigged properly.

During the 00 election a Dem party official was caught with a stolen vot-a-matic. Remember one way to generate a large number of "hanging chads" and overvotes was to stick a bunch of ballots in a vot-a-matic and punch through for your preferred candidate.

The FL media asked the guy running the voting facility the machine came from how Irv Slosberg got it and he got a twinkle in his eye and said "Its a mystery isn't it?" and then the case went to Theresa LaPore, yes that one, who decided, of course not to prosecute.

No they won't. Garland Favorito and other voter integrity groups have been trying to get those ballots for their lawsuit and despite multiple wins on paper, over the last 5 years never got access. GA Courts are comped too at the highest levels.

There are two things that might explain things--one, Kemp is compromised by the 2018 race against Stacey Abrams and perhaps even cheated in his GOP gov primary race when he was SoS.

Two, after the 2018 race, all the servers with election data at Kennesaw State (under contract to SoS) were wiped despite pending legal action.

Three, Kemp's key SoS aide became a salesguy for Dominion and Kemp engineered with the State leg, a no bid contract for replacing the old Diebold machines.

Ratshitburger has Chicom connections dating from his Ga House career and his brother was a muckety muck in Huawei USA.

Chris Carr originally got appointed AG specifically to block a Georgia Religious Freedom Restoration Act when Sam Olens stepped down to a Univ. President. Since then, has done nothing for GA Vote integrity. Comped.

If you watch, you see votes being subtracted from Trump totals and added to Biden's in real time. Same thing happened in other races for the GA Senate seats. That cannot happen without fraud because of the Scytl election results server gave the same election data feed Edison for the media as they did Sec. of State offices. These were reported up from the central election offices (also where fraud occurred) to the Scytl servers and then to the media and SoS office.

No legal way for votes to be subtracted from a candidate under that setup.

Ga Legislature had Trump 2020 elector Burt Jones as Lt. Gov running the Ga Senate in 2022-24. Burt was not happy to be one of Fani charged for being a fake elector. Fani was excused from Burt's case due to Fani contributing and verbally supporting Burt's Dem opponent in 2022 election.

Former Kemp running mate LTG Geoff Duncan leaping to the Democrats last year after losing to Burt Jones in the primary.

SoS Ratshitburger survived by the usual splitter GOPe type that prevented other better GOP candidates in the primary from beating him. Helped that the Dems did not have a competitive primary for most of the races so Ratshitburger got some Dems voting in the GOP primary to get just about 50 percent that would have caused a runoff.

240 I think Warner's main concern is that they haven't the faintest idea whether there is a FISA warrant or two out there, and they need to know quickly because that effects communication on presenting a narrative and obstacles to counter yesterday's FBI warrant.

They'd acquire that information from Gabbard, but she didn't show up to brief them on why she's down in Georgia, or what the connection is to the intelligence community.

Calif won't give up their voter rolls either...

You can register by a Paper form, online, or motor voter... and for ID you can use something as worthless as a Bank Account statement, with an address, or a utility bill... none of which are verified with the institution...

If you have no ID at all, even a bill, they will still register you with a 'voter ID'.

There IS a single database with all Calif Voter IDs, but they will not give access to the Feds....

I believe there has also been an order of protection since January 2021 to preserve all those ballots and records because of a lawsuit brought when an election supervisor suspected counterfeit ballots had been injected into the count.
Her voice is so shaky. She's terrified. Why? If they did everything correctly, the feds will find nothing (I still worry they'll find nothing because of DS sabotage). But she's clearly terrified.
Frankly, I'm surprised they never had a "fire" in all of these years.

And Tina Peters is in prison for attempting to preserve election records.

Surprisingly, her sentencing guidelines were given as if the jury had convicted her of the felony version (of whatever version of crime the prosecutors twisted out of preserving records), even though she was convicted of the misdemeanor version. Surprising that is, that a hearing took place on to challenge the prosecutor on why they did this.

There is a big Chamber of Commerce group that seemingly wants to hand the state over to the Dems. Port of Savannah is part of it because less foreign trade, like from China, means less grifting. The other part is GA GOP itself has a fair number of corrupt GOP types like the former Speaker of the House who used his official position to block trials for his clients. He would claim he was busy doing state's business when a client wanted a delay in a case.

I think part of the Chamber issues are that some of their clients make money from the human trafficking (Atlanta Hartsfield is a nexus point) and drug trafficking from illegals. Banks, real estate, attorneys, criminals, etc.

I think Arizona as a border state has the same infection and for the same reasons.

They will continue to flood the internet with charges that Trump is guilty of anything and everything, that anyone associated with Trump, no matter how tenuously, is guilty of anything and everything. And people will continue to believe that. And nothing will change their minds.

He was involved in the Kemp coverup just like Ratshitburger. His problem was that Burt Jones was a GA Senator and Burt's getting charged by Fani simply made him a martyr. So he lost his job in the primary and then pivoted to being anti Trump all the time. Kemp is anti Trump too but wise enough to keep his mouth shut about it.

336 FWIW I searched for the news on the appeals court hearing on Tina Peters sentencing, a dozen results (the networks, local news) were copy/pastes from what I assume is AP's original reporting. They of course had the key felony/misdemeanor part of the hearing far down in story (if they included it at all) and ambiguously reported -

"But the elements of one of those, a felony conviction for criminal impersonation, was improperly presented to the jury with language for the misdemeanor version of the crime, another element of her case that alarmed the panel’s judges."

Contrast it to Colorado Newsroom who I'm guessing did their own original reporting -

"But Judges Craig Welling, Ted Tow III and Lino Lipinsky de Orlov of the appellate court raised concerns about that trial during Wednesday’s hearing, questioning whether an improper jury instruction led to Peters’ conviction on a felony charge despite drawing language from a misdemeanor statute. "

This is where the left really sometimes gets stupid. Yes, you need to focus your hate on someone. But it doesn’t have to be the person who (a) has power, and (b) is inclined to your position anyway. Trump’s first term would have gone a lot differently if they’d just treated him as badly as any Republican president; there would probably have been no need for fraud to keep him out a second term.

The same will almost certainly be true for Tulsi Gabbard. They will push her against the wall rather than just welcome her and allow her to naturally flow left like any politician does.

Smartmatic election software was created in Venezuela for Chavez's elections in about 2005 or so. Smartmatic then shared its code with Dominion by Dominion purchasing Sequioa Voting Systems that Smartmatic acquired (think there were some antitrust issues and thus Smartmatic pivoted to foreign elections), Diebold got bought out and left the election business by ES&S .

ES&S and Dominion dominate electronic voting and election management software now in the US.

AP: "Car Rams Into Chabad Headquaters In New York City"

If you don't know what a Chabad house is, join the club. My guess is that it's some kind of community center or charity. Jewish.

Which is why AP resorts to their favorite fact-obscuring tactic: Claiming a "car" rammed something, rather than a person at the wheel of that car.

And the man who rammed the car into the Jewish center has an Arabic last name, "Sohail."

So you'll understand Associated with Terrorist's lunatic choice to make the car the bad actor in this story.


Car rams into Chabad headquarters in New York City, damaging doors

The Associated Press

A man was arrested after repeatedly crashing his car into the Chabad Lubavitch world headquarters in New York City on Wednesday night while people were gathered for prayer at the deeply revered Hasidic Jewish site.


No one was injured when the driver struck a door of a building in the complex before reversing and striking it several more times. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that while it was too early in the investigation to speculate on the driver's motives, the incident was being investigated as a possible hate crime.

"This is deeply alarming, especially given the deep meaning and the history of the institution to so many in New York and around the world," said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who called the crash "intentional."

30 From the net

"A Chabad House will generally host classes, lectures, and workshops on Jewish topics; religious services; Shabbat meals; and special events as needed in that community. Counseling services, the Friendship Circle serving children and adults with disabilities and mental health conditions, and other volunteer services are common. Most often a Chabad House does not charge membership—if you are Jewish, you are a member. There are exceptions, according to the local situation."

It all stems from a revered Hasidic leader who died in the 1700's- -the Baal Shem Tov

110 Watson's Afghanistan wound:

The jezail is a long-barrelled weapon used in Central Asia, British India, and parts of Middle East. It was used by the elite jazayerchi troops of Safavid and Afsharid Iran, notably during the Naderian Wars. It was the main weapon used by the various ethnic tribesmen of Afghanistan in the 19th-century who deposed Shah Shuja and fought in the First and Second Anglo-Afghan Wars.

The jezail is the weapon which wounded Dr. Watson—the fictional biographer of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes—in the Battle of Maiwand during his military service in Afghanistan. There are discrepancies regarding the location of the wound, though; in A Study in Scarlet, Watson mentions it to be in the shoulder, while in The Sign of the Four, he mentions his leg, and in "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor" he refers to the Jezail bullet being "in one of my limbs".

(Conan Doyle notoriously ignores minute details like the locations of bullet wounds. And the actual number of watson's wives.)

But he managed. Kamala even disavowed her decision to pick a retarded man for her ticket - during the campaign!

Even a man of his intellect had to know the Party would push him into the outer reaches, and between campaign finance fraud and Somali fraud and Chinese bribes, he's probably got a mid-eight digit sum sitting in an account somewhere.

I'm sure he and his degenerate AWFL wife were planning to collect their winnings and ride off into the sunset before any of this.

221 Chabad in NYC and Connecticut is very conservative but also usually well off. Can't speak to Chabad elsewhere in the US, though.
It's very prominent in the community and so a recognizable target. Many synagogues are not as prominent for this very reason, though NYC can differ because those who can afford to live in the city have serious money, which can include security services.

228 If you don't know what a Chabad house is, join the club. My guess is that it's some kind of community center or charity. Jewish.

The shocking news here is not that a Muslim attacked Chabad House, but that Ace doesn't know what Chabad even is.

Really?

To catch you up:


Just as Christianity is divided into Protestant/Catholic/etc., and Islam into Sunni/Shi'ite/etc., Judaism is basically divided into three: Reform Judaism (a.k.a. hippy-dippy woke New Age lax Judaism), Conservative judaism (a.k.a. "normal' average Judaism), and Orthodox (strictly observant Judaism, roughly equivalent to fundamentalist Christianity). Within Orthodox Judaiam, there are various groups, among which are "Hasidic" jews, who are "ultra"-Orthodox, and are the nes you see waring traditional garb in New York and elsewhere. amongst the various Hasidic group are Chabad, and within Chabad there is Lubavitcher Chabad, and ultra-ultra Orthodox group that has mostly cut themselves off from he modern world, and which has become 'messianic,' in which they believe that their long-dead head rabbi Schneerson might has been the predicted messiah.

Their HQ is what the "cvar' rammed.

"Peaceful Protester" and Super-Hot Male Model Alex Pretti Seen in New Video Spitting at ICE Agents, Kicking Their Cars

Assault and battery with a side of Blue Steel.


Newly surfaced video shows Alex Pretti spitting at federal immigration agents, kicking a government vehicle, and screaming profanities during a violent confrontation in south Minneapolis on January 13 -- just 11 days before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents.

The footage, obtained by the Minnesota Star Tribune, captures Pretti, 37, amid a chaotic street scene as an unmarked federal convoy moved through the area. Surrounded by a crowd blowing whistles and heckling officers, Pretti is seen shouting abuse at agents, spitting in their direction, and kicking a vehicle before officers move in and take him to the ground. As he stands back up, what appears to be a handgun is clearly visible in his waistband. Moments later, he is released and remains in the area as the confrontation dissipates. A spokesperson for Pretti's family and the family's attorney confirmed to the Star Tribune that the man in the video is Pretti, whose death nearly two weeks later would ignite protests.

The video was recorded by The News Movement on January 13 and later reviewed and aired by the BBC. During a 10 p.m. GMT broadcast, BBC journalist Ros Atkins said the individual in the footage matches Pretti's appearance, clothing, and gait, adding that facial recognition technology suggested a 97 percent match. Atkins told viewers the video shows Pretti "shouting abuse at the agents" and "kicking a car" before being wrestled to the ground, noting that a firearm is visible in his waistband as he gets back to his feet. A BBC spokesperson later confirmed to Mediaite that the network reviewed and authenticated the footage using facial recognition tools.

That video below the fold.

There's just so much peace at these peaceful protests.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are facing a surge in violent threats unlike anything seen before, according to new disclosures from federal officials who say hostility toward frontline immigration enforcement has exploded amid sustained political attacks on the agency.

ICE officials this week revealed that death threats against agents and their families have skyrocketed by roughly 8,000 percent, while physical assaults on officers have jumped more than 1,300 percent, a spike they attribute to increasingly aggressive "abolish ICE" rhetoric coming from activist groups and reinforced by elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions.

One recent case laid bare the ugliness of those threats: an ICE agent received a voicemail in which a man repeatedly urged him to kill himself, called him a "fascist pig," and extended his rage to the agent's family, saying, "I hope your wife dies. I hope your mom and dad die. I hope everything wrong that could go in your life happens. I hope you have the most miserable life."

The message continued with graphic threats and insults, ending with the caller telling the agent, "You are a traitor to the American people, to the values that made our country. You should kill yourself. You're disgusting."

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the escalation is not happening in a vacuum, arguing that Democrat leaders who govern sanctuary cities and states have spent years vilifying ICE in ways that predictably lead to violence.

I strongly suspect he was a paid agitator and probably high on drugs. The media keeps referring to him sympathetically as an "ICU nurse." Bullshit. He was an unemployed bum.

As for the drugs, I really wish they would do toxicology reports on all these antifag faggots. I will bet any amount of money the vast majority are tripping ballz on heavy drugs (meth, etc.).

133 The new video wouldn't even matter if it was taken 11 MINUTES before the shooting. It doesn't change how he was executed

He kicked a car, they mobbed him and began firing teargas at bystanders. The government seems to expect people to do nothing while agents act with impunity, which is an astonishing double-standard.

ICE is the instigator. Gestapo Greg and Kruel KKKristi are the instigators. Spitting and damaging a tail light is so far from being relevant to his murder that it can only serve as a distraction to mention it.

Of course the video is AI. If he really did that, they’d have a record of his arrest and they’d bring it up immediately after he was shot and constantly. (there was a HUGE amount of discussion that the video was AI/fake, with lots of detailed analysis, but those threads are all locked now, making them hard to copy/paste 😔

It looks like AI nonsense. Watch the way his jacket moves when he gets in the altercation at the ICE officer. Completely fake

It makes Pretti less of a sympathetic victim. ut it also makes ICE look even more like murderers who picked him out and may have killed him intentionally as revenge.

145 Okay, based on some analysis I've seen, there were mistakes made when Pretti was shot. I assume stress and (understandable) jumpiness contributed to the unwise response.

HOWEVER, the main leftist strategy at the moment is to increase the chances that mistakes will be made AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. This is why they try to outlaw any relatively safe and orderly ways to pick up illegal criminals and why their brain dead foot soldiers try to maximize chaos whenever they find ICE operations underway.

They WANT martyrs. Martyrs will help inflame their foot soldiers and they know the normies naturally shrink from bloodshed. They want maximum pressure against deportations and they don't care how many lives it costs.

The modern left is nihilist which is both repelled and obsessed with death and violence. Same with most strains of Islam. They decry death and violence when it happens to one of theirs yet cheer when their 'enemies' die or are harmed. And the depressed and suicidal quasi criminal types often seek suicide by cop, spree killing, or even explosive vests. By their deaths, they hope for oblivion, surcease of sorrows, and perhaps redemption of some sort (Islamic paradise for example).

----------
This is the crux of the "agreement" reached between the administration and the Minnesota/Minneapolis government. The feds will enforce the absolute bare minimum federal immigration law in MN. The state and city can't ignore requests to hold illegals in their jails or wherever until the feds can pick them up.

It was made clear that the violence is mostly because ICE and various LE agencies have to go into the ghettos, the apartment complexes, public spaces to arrest illegals already set to be deported. And get swamped with rioters.

Picking the illegals up at jails, police stations and the like makes it safer. But the Minneapolis city government and the MN state government wanted to FA and now, they've FO.

No, you cannot change the minds of partisan ideologues with evidence. But what you can do, is pressure them into taking idiotic positions in response to evidence that undermines their cause to the wider audience. See my comment above about Reddit.

Also, I think the number of truly bitter partisans who will take their political positions down under the waves like Ahab are very low. I think the vast majority of leftwingers are not true believers. The vast majority are grifters, followers, and "pick me" narcissists.

Posted by: Emmie

Nope. And one thing to always remember, slo motion on video does not exist in real life. At full speed, the confrontation, like with Good occurred in seconds, not minutes. And this is typical of most lethal and violent encounters--goes from nothing to full on assault in a few seconds. And action will always be faster than reaction which is why the cops when they see the opponent is armed freak out. Unless the cop has their firearm out, then most of the time someone can draw and shoot faster than the cops can respond as it takes time for the person reacting to someone else to process what is happening and how to react.

THere is a guy on the YT that is crazy fast at disarming a gun pointed at him and teaches that to others. He is relying on the fact that he can move faster than the person holding the gun can react and pull the trigger to hit him.

Action almost always beats reaction.

He is not a lawyer and comes from the gun advocate position. Instead, go to Andrew Branca, I think GWP has a link today and listen to him discussing the shooting.

Never trust activists of any sort to give you a true picture of the law because agendas interfere with the message. And the fact is that LEOs operate under a very different rules of engagement than armed citizens do. They are required to engage to enforce the law, citizens are never required to do that and usually that is legally unwise.

No law officer has a duty to retreat, even in states where retreat to the wall doctrine exists. They can use x amount more force than the perp is using in order to effectuate an arrest and it does not have to be proportional in the moment of a possible lethal weapon being present and perhaps being used in a tussle.

So ignore the clickbait types trying to use the controversy to get watches, etc. Go to the more solid types that have grounding in the law, not activism.

Criminals, by and large, are pretty dumb. They lack impulse control, often as a result of drug/alcohol abuse.

Cops, by contrast, are supposed to be trained to deal with people, exhibiting a highly disciplined, professional image to gain trust with the public at large.

They have a lot more to lose by misbehaving on camera than a thug whose going back to the joint he left a few weeks/months ago.

Posted by: Thomas Bender

The four black Memphis cops whaling on a black citizen because that citizen was involved with a woman dating one of the cops is a perfect example. Not much media coverage or interest by activist groups at all despite the beatdown being far worse than that administered to Rodney King and caught on hi rez video.

Yes! Border Patrol has a very strong minority contingent. LEOs in general are often minorities. Hell, the Dallas klanti-fa guy killed 5-6 officers and *maybe* one was white. In the long run it has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with control of the streets.

Posted by: Cow Demon at January 29, 2026 01:08 PM (+VCCp)

340 And the fact is that LEOs operate under a very different rules of engagement than armed citizens do. They are required to engage to enforce the law, citizens are never required to do that and usually that is legally unwise.

No law officer has a duty to retreat, even in states where retreat to the wall doctrine exists. They can use x amount more force than the perp is using in order to effectuate an arrest and it does not have to be proportional in the moment of a possible lethal weapon being present and perhaps being used in a tussle.

So ignore the clickbait types trying to use the controversy to get watches, etc. Go to the more solid types that have grounding in the law, not activism.

If you go to his own website, you will find he claims to be a civil rights attorney but little or no discussion of actually trying cases. He, himself, describes himself as an activist rather than a lawyer.

The truth is he probably makes a lot more from 1.1 million followers and his former gig at the NRA than he ever did practicing law. John H.

The truth is that you will always have idiots trying to commit suicide by cop and trying to second guess cops making split second decisions when the whole train of idiocy prior to that by the perp was ignored, means you will ALWAYS have some cause nationwide for activists to try to make into a cause. The left gets to select when and where that cause will be born and sometimes even ignore one death to focus on making some thuggish criminal like George Floyd or Michael Brown into a martyr.

At a certain point, you either make a clear choice--do you want criminals taken out of society by arrest or do you want anarchy. We cannot ever allow perfection to be the standard for action because under such situations, most people will never act including cops.

This is the problem I have with our side.
These people are committing felonies and they are letting them get away with no negative consequences.

What if ICE started booking and hitting them with federal charges and THEN...

...make up leaflets with all the mugshots and charges and potential jail terms with a headline on the top saying "DON"T BE THE NEXT PRISONER" and the just hand them out to the all the assholes on the sidewalk.

The Morning Rant

Mis Hum Rant.jpg


Charles is off on holiday.

*****

The United States of America.

What does it mean to be an American?
What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to your loved ones?

It was fairly simple to answer those questions just a few short years ago. And deep down in my heart I believe the majority of people would have agreed upon the following three:
1) Life
2) Liberty
3) Pursuit of happiness

Our country, the redheaded step-child of Great Britain rebelled. And that revolution gave birth to a country built upon guts and rugged individualism. A country built upon the rule of law, Judaeo/Christian beliefs and the credo of treating another as ourselves.

Over the past 250 years our country has made mistakes. But we have always attempted to learn from our mistakes and proceed accordingly.

It is my humble opinion that the United States of America is broken. It is broken and it will not be repaired in my lifetime. And if the violent left keeps the flames burning it may be replaced in my lifetime.

Somewhere along the line, citizens and non-citizens alike have completely rejected the 3 principals mentioned earlier.

Political assassinations have occurred throughout history. Besides the two attempts on President Trump's life. The most recent besides Charlie Kirk, to my memory was that of Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman.It was a despicable act, it doesn't matter that she was a Democrat.

“The harm caused by Boelter’s actions was not confined to any one place—it was felt widely, including here in Minneapolis. His conduct endangered the safety of our communities and undermined trust in police. We are thankful to our U.S. Attorney’s Office and all federal, state, and local law enforcement that have worked tirelessly to hold this killer accountable,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.


He has a tad more testosterone than Portland Police Chief Bob Day

Minnesota (And all other sanctuary municipalities) is telling the rest of law abiding Americans to fuck off. Some of them have told Americans to fuck off and die by looking at the amount of Americans killed by illegal aliens. This is what a "peaceful protest" looks like and a protected 1st Amendment right, amirite?

You cannot get to pick and choose what laws you enforce. Elections have consequences. However, it is never the civilly and/or criminally immune elected officials who ever stand trial for the chaos they have unleashed upon their community.

The enactment of Sanctuary Municipality laws are harmful and not an act of being united. But not content to learn any lesson from the two avoidable deaths of criminals, The Philadelphia DA has vowed to hunt down ICE agents.

That is Third World Shit Hole legalese. And when someone who has listened to this enabler causes physical injury, death and/or property damage. The perp will be dealt with, hopefully. But Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasnerr will not feel one ounce of guilt or face any legal repercussions.


If the State of Minnesota and the local communities of Minneapolis/St. Paul region had not enacted Sanctuary City laws at least two people would be alive today. And a number of people uninjured.



But, it isn't only politicians who must fear for their lives. Now businessmen must keep their heads on a swievel. United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson gunned down.

A red notebook was recovered by police at the time of his December 9 arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. In diary writings contained in that notebook, Mangione vents about his frustrations with the health insurance industry and his intent to carry out an attack. The entries also shed light on Mangione’s focus on the court of public opinion and how he intended to gain widespread support through the alleged killing.

The new filing from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is a response to a motion filed last month by Mangione’s defense team seeking to stay or dismiss the New York case against him. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all federal and state charges against him.

A horrible crime committed by one person topped off by people who applauded and donated money full of evil and hate.

Luigi Mangione support fundraisers, merchandise yanked by GoFundme, Etsy
Supporters of Mangione have raised more than $20,000 for the alleged murderer's defense on GiveSendGo



And if you think that the judiciary branch is going to come to the rescue, you are incorrect. Now we have judicial nullification

WASHINGTON (TNND) — A judge in Minnesota is currently facing backlash for overturning a conviction of over $7 million of a couple who were found guilty of misusing Medicaid funds to fund a rich lifestyle.

Abdifatah Yusuf, 44, was charged last year and found guilty in August 2025 after he and his wife faced allegations of stealing millions of dollars from the Medicaid Program and Minnesota, according to The New York Post.

While Yusef and his wife were stealing from the program, they were also operating a healthcare business from their house

I wonder why the judge just didn't dismiss the charges altogether instead of wasting tax payer money.

Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko said "Hold my chablis". I just won't issue arrest warrants.

The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Jan. 23 rejected the DOJ’s emergency petition for a writ of mandamus after Minnesota Chief District Judge Patrick Schiltz refused to issue five more arrest warrants related to the protest.

In a Jan. 23 letter to the appeals court, Schiltz said the DOJ had requested arrest warrants for eight people on Jan. 20, but Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko issued warrants for only three, finding no probable cause to arrest the remaining five.

The five individuals allegedly entered the church and yelled “horrible things at the members of the church” but committed no violence, according to the judge’s letter.

“It is important to emphasize that what the U.S. Attorney requested is unheard of in our district or, as best as I can tell, any other district in the Eighth Circuit,” Schiltz said, referring to the DOJ’s request to review Micko’s denial of arrest warrants.

And of course a judge appointed by George W. Bush is making ICE's daunting job even more treacherous.

HEARING CANCELLED
The big, final, for-all-the-marbles showdown hearing between Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz of the federal district of Minnesota and Todd Lyons, the head of ICE, scheduled for this Friday afternoon, has been quietly cancelled.

Or not so quietly, as it turns out. The reason the hearing was cancelled is that “Juan,” the illegal immigrant subject of the habeas corpus petition, was released back into the wild. Now ICE has to track him down all over again


*****

I haven't even scratched the surface of the ways this union is broken. I haven't even addressed the Charlie Kirk murder or the acceptance of transsexualism

The media? Well, we all know it one sided, just look at the coverage of the woman agitator who was shot in Minneapolis as to the coverage of Ashli Babbit.

We haven't even touched the nuts and fruits of California. How united do you feel with a one party state that resembles China when it comes to freedom? How united are you with a state that does everything possible against you? How united are you when health care professionals deliberately post and encourage criminal acts online?

Our country is 38 Trillion dollars in debt. There is no sense of urgency about this in either party. The DNC operates as an extension of the Communist Party with the flair of Islamic barbarism.

The left believes they can pick and choose laws which to obey or enforce. The followers of the Democratic party hate this country, loathe capitalism, despise Christianity and everything else which has made this country the greatest country on earth.

Any statements made by elected Democrat officials do not portray any type of unity or hopes of unity. And most of the elected Republican officials roll over and play possum.

Is it time to let it burn? That my friends, isn't the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

May God bless the United States with wisdom and common sense.

That’s what drives most, if not all the insanity, get right down to it. They conjure up “money” and subsidize things they want, and punish the rest with excessive regulation, taxation, and there is no safe haven. Maybe gold, which is north of $5000 when it was $20 less than a hundred years ago.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter how many laws there are if they won’t enforce them. Too many people make bank on all these scams. Myriad scams.

37 I still think Trump should have focused attention on the judicial coup on day one. It would likely reveal whether some of his cabinet picks and other appointments were up to the task at hand. And clarified whether or not certain appointments were a mistake, as has been debated here.

The focus on international issues, specifically the drug cartels and Iran has been a distraction from what I think is a more compelling problem.... the judicial coup.

It has hamstrung the administration's goal of riding the country of the illegals and properly dealing with an increasingly violent left. It's almost to the point where it will define Trump's second administration as a partial failure if he doesn't get the judiciary under control. And pave the way for more horseshit in 2028.

Hmmm, depends I guess on whether fossil fuel derived accelerants (charcoal lighter fluid is an example) are used versus green accelerants like alcohol.

Mass might also be involved as a fattie might burn for a long time producing all kinds of chemical wastes from the pharmaceuticals they are undoubtedly taking.

It really does. Jefferson got all his ideas (Natural Law, Natural aka Unalienable Rights, Consent of the Governed and Popular Sovereignty, and the people's right of revolution when government fails to secure our rights) from Locke's 2nd Treatise on Government. Every time Locke wrote about Natural Rights he characterized them as life, liberty and property.

Oddly, I think it does. Thanks to the revelations within the MN Signal chat, we know that several MN state senators, candidates, Walz (former) staffer are leading the ICE out operation, and have cooperation with some in law enforcement (to get one the spot ID on license plates).

In this context, it becomes clear that the MN (and likely other states?) Democrat party is a tightknit, coordinated and organized insurgency that is willing to take out one of its own members if they go against their interests within hours of her vote. This is serious business, and that killing no doubt sent a strong message to the rest of them: ride or die time.

He meant economic and social opportunity which is greater than simply pursuit of property. His source was the original VA Declaration of Rights

"Section 1. That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

You don't have a right to property. You have a right to not have whatever property you do have stolen, but that's too many words for a catchy slogan.

71 If you need a white pill this morning on the ICE stuff:

Some autist on X dug into the anti-ICE violence, and found it can all be traced to 9 counties in the US. Only 9! Florida and Texas are doing the lion's share of deportations and ICE roundups, one figure said TX has done 25% of all deportations. And yet, no violence in TX or FL. Because the leaders in those states don't tolerate it.

The left is trying to make the MN violence look like the norm. It's not. Not even close. And all of the work they do to make a shell game so we focus on the violence and not the fraud doesn't make the fraud go away. But Walz and Omar and the legacy media are trying, bless their hearts.

I still can't get my head around Omar owning a fake winery when she's Muslim and supposedly doesn't drink alcohol. I can't with all her fraud scams.

The increase from the last few weeks was extra DHS personnel (the Good shooter was HSI, the Pritti shooter was a prison officer) to offer more protection to ICE doing their operations because local cops were refusing to respond to ICE requests.

If local cops are responding now, then the extra DHS personnel (like HSI and prisons) aren't necessary and can be moved elsewhere.

110 To answer your question, MisHum:

>>> The United States of America.
What does it mean to be an American?
What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to your loved ones?

To my immigrant grandparents who came here with nothing, and left a country that did not support their chosen religion, it meant religious peace, and a chance to pursue happiness as they saw fit.

It not mean a handout. It did not mean being free from discrimination. It did not mean being free from poverty while they scrimped and saved for their better future. But it meant they got to try. It was an opportunity, not a guarantee, at a better life.

This is why reading about all the illegals coming here and getting unlimited benefits--heck, even the legal immigrants or refugees coming here on legal Visas--and snapping up welfare and tax Bennies absolutely infuriates me. It makes a mockery of the sacrifices my grandparents made.

They never resented America once, never once griped that they didn't get a handout and they sometimes got mocked for their accents. They were some of the proudest Americans I knew. They taught me to take pride in America! And I love them for it.

This has been the case for leftists going back decades at least. Just like the ridiculous 'shrine' for the unalived Pettus or whatever his name is. No reason at all that Ga Sen Warnock (D) shows up yesterday to bless him.

The left has a network of flying monkeys that move from place to place to create mayhem (the Atlanta Cop City protests were a perfect example--some Brazilian illegal got shot and killed when their encampment was being removed from the construction site. In the subsequent arrests, a lot of these 'activists' arrested had nothing whatsoever to do with GA or Atlanta. Activists were coming from across the North and West and were often from upper class families.

117 The increase from the last few weeks was extra DHS personnel (the Good shooter was HSI, the Pritti shooter was a prison officer) to offer more protection to ICE doing their operations because local cops were refusing to respond to ICE requests.

If local cops are responding now, then the extra DHS personnel (like HSI and prisons) aren't necessary and can be moved elsewhere.

125 The State Department formally determined this month that the Palestinian Authority paid more than $200 million to terrorists and their families in 2025, the same year PA president Mahmoud Abbas claimed he ended the "pay-to-slay" program, according to a nonpublic notice provided to Congress and obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon.

Rather than ending these payments, the PA shifted to a new system that it hoped to hide from international donors at a time when the Ramallah-based government is jockeying for a role in postwar Gaza, the State Department disclosed for the first time. Israeli intelligence assessed that the PA funneled $144 million to terrorists and their families in 2024 and committed at least $214 million through 2025, while the State Department determined that the payments continued from March to August 2025 under a purportedly reformed welfare system.

The demonstrators gathered outside of Ten-Raku, a Korean BBQ spot in Lynwood, on Wednesday night after hearing reports that federal officers were allegedly inside.

In reality, they blared airhorns and whistles and shouted at off-duty TSA officers who were just trying to enjoy dinner, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office told the Daily Mail.

When confronted about mistaking the airport staff for ICE, one irate demonstrator gave the excuse that people get 'emotional' and make 'mistakes,' noting that ICE does the same when they arrest people.

You start to run up against 1st Amendment there plus the 10th. States and their local governments are under no compulsion to carry out duties for the federal government. Ironically it was a case involving the Brady Bill an interim background checks that made that ruling.

If the feds allow, states and localities can help enforce federal law, they have concurrent powers over public safety as most have laws requiring protests to follow time, manner, and place restrictions, etc.

But realistically, that is all you can get. And btw, states cannot prohibit localities and their officials in MN from assisting federal officials even if the state does not. 8th Circuit precedent out of Missouri Firearms Constitutional Amendment case.

I never thought Pritti's death was going to cause immigration law to be suspended or whatever. I figured it would be just one of several deaths. ICE wasn't about to leave. BPS would likely have been sent back into Minneapolis to provide "muscle" and bust some heads.

It's a bit of a circular problem. That 10% of the population will always be with you. Get rid of the crazies, and in a generation you'll have a whole new batch of crazies with a whole new batch of fanciful grievances and windowlickery.

I don't know what the solution is, but "divorce" probably isn't it. If there were some real, fundamental dichotomy underlying it all, it would make sense. One faction wants to be a republic, the other wants to be a monarchy. One wants fiat currency, one wants a physical standard. Rational, debatable stuff.

"Fuck you i won't follow your laws, I'm in charge here, do what I say or people start dying" is too vague and mutable of a foundation on which to build any kind of rational, ordered separation.

I don't think he even needs to do that even if they try to sabotage and renege. Amy Klobachar announced her run for governor of MN on the same day and I'd imagine that her political machine does not want the outgoing Walz administration to slime her attempts to be governor.

I also take that as an indicator that Klobachar wants to run for prezzie again perhaps or views the Senate as not being a place to exercise much power anymore.

183 "I haven't even scratched the surface of the ways this union is broken."

It's worse than you know. Did you think the Corruption would sweep across America and leave us untouched? No. I'm a United States Marine, falsely accused of the dishonorable crime of Stolen Valor - and no one will help me. I asked the Instapundit community to stand up for me, write the perp a polite email asking to give me a fair hearing, review my DD214 (attached) and retract the lies she spread about my military service. The response? Several told me "no one cares, go kill yourself" and the rest of them looked away.

If you're wondering,YES -being betrayed so cruelly by the people I thought I was fighting for has killed anything in me that was good. The stigma associated with the accusation is driving me mad, turning me into a monster. To the point I've put myself in therapy to protect the perp's loved ones.

You don't like me, fine. There's a bigger picture. There was a time when a Marine didn't need to ask for help. That's been lost. It means Trump will fail. Even if he can restore the Republic it will just unravel again. Because the People no longer share the values necessary to maintain a Republic

So the VA legislators want to be able to buy property using our taxpayer money, and the rent it back to our government and get another check from Uncle Sam.

Fully electric vehicles made up 22.6% of cars registered in the EU last month, edging out petrol cars ‍on 22.5%. Gasoline-electric hybrids, including plug-in hybrids that can go limited distances on battery power alone, were the top group with 44%.

243 Part of the problem (and it's arrogant of me to assume that being a descendant of Burke gives me the wisdom to criticize his legacy) but Conservatism is simply not robust enough to counter Marxism.

It's a passive ideology, always on it's back foot defending... tradition. The Left is the quirky aunt telling you to dive off the cliff. The Right is the strict Father warning about the 5 ways this can go horribly wrong.
We're always in a Prevent Defense, and anyone here who follows football knows you can't that for 4 quarters and win.

We spend generations cataloguing the mistakes of the past so future generations don't repeat them. Does it ever occur to us that WE are the ones the warnings were meant for? The goal is not to endure the gulags, Solzhenitsyn did that already so that he could warn us not to love Dignity more than Liberty. There's no need to burn in the camps again, we need to put down the quill and pick up sword.

Because there's a bigger problem. If we are ineffective, something will take our place to fight Marxism. And to do so, it might become the stuff of nightmares. We have an obligation to ensure that monster isn't summoned.

244 On paper this looks like a win. MN bends the knee and does what they should have done from the beginning. The left overplays their Pretti hand by using AI generated images in Congress and making him into some apple pie and hotdog American when he was actually a violent commie agitator commiting assault on LE weeks prior. Would be a good chance to show the people how easy this can be. Follow up by putting Waltz and Frey and the Somali clan in prison for fraud.

Noem is out of MN(no problem with that) but you can't have her step down. The Bovino Bro can just go somewhere else.

But of this is just words and MN keeps doing commie BS and giving the finger to the admin and the Republic....and Trump just lets it go....well, that would be a huge loss and condems us to 6+ months of violence and coordinated rioting and insurgency.

I for one am going to stay positive on this development. On face, it's a win. Take it. Fellate it, give it a home.

245 I love what Trump is doing but I afraid his type of leadership is not going to be the new normal. Vance will be, DeSantis will be good. But as administrators, they won't move the needle like Trump.

I liken Trump's term to the period when the Devs step into a game that become broken, fixing all the bugs and exploits, and it's great. Trump has made systemic changes to the battlefield - disabling the election fraud machine, killing USAID funding of anti-Americanism, handicapped media propaganda - that will give us a fighting chance. I almost resent the attention he gave Iran because there is so much he could fix domestically and so little time. 3 years and then the Marxists and Vichy Republicans will think it's safe to come out from under their rock.

* I may be selling Vance short, I hope I'm wrong and he has the stones to effect significant change

15 This gloomy scene, painted by the French artist Jacques-Louis David (c. 1748–1825), depicts the widowed Andromache mourning over the body of her husband, Hector—the slain champion of Troy. He had been defeated in a duel by Achilles, who went on to dishonor the body of the dead hero.

92 David captures the tragedy of war, not just on the death of warriors but on their loved ones. The despair of Andromache for herself and her child, both might be killed, their vulnerable state, and the loss of love and protection is so poignant. Her pose and expression could be considered melodramatic except for the way her small child reaches for her to comfort her and seek solace for himself. Their soft clothing, in bright light, is a strong contrast to Hector's weapons and armor, even the hard wood of the bed, in the shadows. The realistic detail doesn't let the audience abstract the emotion of the scene. It is hard, final and their innocence doesn't protect them. The viewer may know that she will be sold into slavery and the child thrown off the walls of Troy, killed so he cannot grow up to avenge his father. That knowledge adds to the impact of the painting.

It is a hard painting to view but done with exquisite skill.

127 Lots of highs schools in my district having anti-ICE protests walkouts last week, yesterday and today. Our high school was yesterday, got wind of it from my son who I told was forbidden from participating. Also wrote the principal and VP with my thoughts on these "student led" protests which are clearly being organized by outside groups and sanctioned by the schools. He later called me and we had a long discussion about this, sounded like he isn't in favor of them but is doing nothing to block them. Real problem is the school board, mostly Dem, which has a couple of totally woke members pushing this and other insanity

Anyway around 300-400 (out of 2800) walked out and had the protest for an hour along the road with their signs with usual Dem talking point. Most annoying from the photos was the flags, several Mexican and couple others. Not one American flag. Young skulls full of mush, each and every one being used by professional agitators.

Lots of parents I know are not happy about this but nothing will happen. Dems have control of the schools and won't put an end to this. Going to school board meetings is waste of time as I have found. They are deaf to people like me.

Individual voting in large turnout elections is mostly pointless. Your vote affects surprisingly little. In an election where 1 million votes is the difference between winner and loser, your one vote does very little.

Individual voting in low turnout elections is must more powerful. Being one vote in an election where the difference between winner and loser is 100 votes is much more impactful.

People who don't vote in presidentials but only vote in local elections are probably the smartest voters.

Now Let Us Praise Great Hickory Shampoos

I've been thinking a lot lately about children getting burned by a hot stove or stung by a bee.

The pain they receive teaches them to avoid certain actions or behaviors.

Without the reasonably minor pain they receive would those children in their experiential ignorance learn to avoid those behaviors? Probably not.

The recent deaths of Good and Pretti are great examples of ignorant people who never learned to control their anti-social and sociopathic actions, who kept escalating those behaviors until they finally got themselves killed.

However, consider this: if the first time Pretti threw a tantrum and started kicking ICE cars, etc that he been taken aside and given a righteous hickory shampoo would he have continued on his trajectory of increasing violence? I doubt it.

Or Good dragged out of her SUV and getting a hickory shampoo drum solo atop her noggin? Would she have continued on the path that led to attempted vehicular murder and her fatal shooting? It's unlikely.

Even if they needed a couple of luxurious shampooings Now with Hickory! until they quit. Wouldn't that be better than being dead?

I'm sure it's been chatted about here, but...

"A group of artists, preservationists, and activists is sounding the alarm against Trump’s potential demolition of a prominent federal office building next to the National Mall, and the treasured artworks inside it — including several New Deal-era murals that speak to the value of Social Security in the United States...the missive demands that the Trump administration cease its plans to sell the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building, described in the petition as the “Sistine Chapel of New Deal art.”

No offense to the artists who have Murals in that building... but if that's "America's Sistine chapel," we are effed as a country as far as art goes. It's like calling Hillary Clinton "a goddess."

If it's the Sistine chapel of commies...ok, that might be accurate.

Also, the Times of Israel is trying to paint the demolition of the murals as anti-Jewish because some of the artist happened to be commie Jews. Which is a stretch at best.

Sounds like my county. Not quite 75% more like 65-70%. Problem is local races are “non-partisan” so a lot of leftists win because nobody turns out except the hard core leftists. And the few conservatives that do vote have no idea who they’re voting for they vote on slogans or yard signs that have the US flag on it. Oh Jenny Smith seems like a good person and look she has red white and blue on her campaign poster. Sure I’ll vote for her.

Republicans (real ones) for some reason I can’t fathom simply refuse to show up for local races or take them seriously. The left understands this and exploits it. So we have an ultra red county run by Democrats.

After the Boston tea party caused England to give Boston the smack down, the revolutionaries in Virginia did a day of fasting and prayer...as an act of rebellion. And then they were punished for it by Lord Dunmore dissolving the legislature.

But yes, they were totally different animals.

I still posit that January 6 was actual patriots cosplaying as tea party revolutionaries, mixed with feds and lefties stirring up trouble. No weapons, and they stayed in the velvet ropes in statuary hall. The current ICE protests are leftists cosplaying as MLK/french revolution revolutionaries.

They and their children are not lining the lobbies of free clinics in hospitals, or keeping the mobile medical service vans on the streets busy.

Many are not able to come easily from NJ, North Philly, (list your communities), box stores' parking lots, city bus sheds, etc. and into other counties to do roofing, etc. unless it's the weekend and/or code enforcement ignores the jobs that are most often permitted under general contractors (who believe they'll have no liability if someone gets seriously injured or killed on a work job).

I agree but I see the various one issue activists continue to wail and cry.

Latest is the egg on face 2A only types that keep trying to go after the administration over messaging that you don't go to a protest armed.

The latest video that shows the unalived person assaulting ICE officers and attacking their vehicles prior to being unalived is the latest embarrassment for the true blue 2A types.

To wit, it is common sense if you want to avoid trouble to not carry concealed to a protest unless that protest is specifically aimed at 2A rights.

Carrying firearms for citizens implies a higher duty of care such as not being drunk and carrying, not being stoned and carrying, not carrying in public in an unsafe manner, etc. and NOT GETTING INTO PUBLIC FIGHTS with law enforcement no matter what you think. Officers have broad discretion to detain you and remove the firearm for safety reasons if they have reasonable suspicion that you are doing something illegal.

242 Oh and this ties into the art thread:

In the "Melania" trailer at the end, we see a gorgeous Renoir. I looked it up, it's "La Loge." And the real1874 Renoir is on display in London's Courtauld Institute of Art.

Apparently the Trumps like Renoir, they own at least one other replica. But the media is dragging them over it, calling it a fake. They never claimed it was real!! So what if they own a copy of it? You get the beauty of it without the cost. Millions of college dorms have replica posters of paintings. Are they "fakes"? More fake news.

From an article:
"[Trump's] wife has been dragged for spotlighting a classic Renoir painting that experts have bashed as a cheap imitation."

And another:

"A friend of the President said last night: 'Trump can appreciate great art, but he finds the New York art crowd elitist and phoney.' Experts say the genuine La Loge would probably break the £46million record for a Renoir, were it ever sold. 'Museum–quality' copies can be bought for around £4,000."

The Morning Report — 1/29/26

FeelPretti.jpg

Good morning kids. The focus yet again is on Minneapolis and two totally shocking stories. Not really. First, as a number of you noted in yesterday's comments the Emshpritzening of America's sweetheart, the de-clitorized criminal immigration fraudster and incest practitioner Bro-Fo Omar was likely a hack amateur-hour fake out.

But this incident reeks of inauthenticity. She appears to make eye contact with her attacker just before he gets up, as if she is signaling to him that the time for the attack had come. She walks toward him after he sprays the liquid on her, instead of running away, as any person undergoing an unexpected attack would be likely to do. And she calmly continues her speech, without any apparent concern for the possibility that the substance could be lethal and that she should go wash it off. . .Both leftists and Muslims in the U.S. have demonstrated a strong affinity for claiming victimhood . . . Omar’s spraying incident, as transparently fake as it is, is one of the clumsiest examples of this technique, but it’s understandable, after having been coddled for years, that Omar would assume that she could get away with anything, no matter how flimsy.

Next is this now deceased Alex Pretti stooge who, surprise surprise was predisposed to being a Democrat/Leftist stormtrooper.

Disturbing new footage shows Alex Pretti armed, spitting at federal immigration officers and smashing the taillights of their black SUV during a chaotic clash more than a week before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. The video, which the BBC said it has verified, captured the ICU nurse yelling at agents while they were driving away during a heated Jan. 13 protest before booting the back of the car, prompting them to jump out and tackle him to the ground, according to footage from The News Movement.   The man — who was wearing similar clothing in the video to what Pretti had on when he was fatally shot last Saturday — was taken to the ground by at least five agents, who deployed tear gas into the whistle-blowing crowd during the wild confrontation.

With that, I ask the question are Alex Prettis and Renee Goods born or are they made?


“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than evil.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Bonhoeffer’s insight remains one of the most unsettling diagnoses of moral collapse ever written—not because it flatters our intelligence, but because it strips away comforting illusions. . .

. . . One of the defining features of ideological stupidity is its joyfulness. Evil often appears dour and grim in our imagination, but in reality it frequently presents itself as exuberant, righteous, even celebratory. Once responsibility is dissolved into a collective—“the movement,” “the cause,” “history”—guilt evaporates. The individual no longer bears moral weight. He obeys. And obedience feels liberating.

That is why crowds can chant with glee while calling for harm. That is why activists can smile while threatening federal officers. That is why vandalism is rebranded as “resistance” and intimidation as “speech.” The participants do not experience themselves as committing wrongdoing. They experience themselves as morally elevated.

Another aspect is that beyond Pretti's emotional state and rationale he knew that he also had the political and judicial cover that would shield him from any potential repercussions such as prison, and this attitude likely fed into his fatal delusion/illusion that he was in no mortal danger whatsoever and so could attack with impunity.

And when you consider the following, it's no wonder that he and Renee Good are now moldering in their graves.

A coalition of left-wing district attorneys largely funded by billionaire George Soros launched an initiative to prosecute federal immigration agents in their jurisdictions, setting the stage for a potential showdown with the Trump administration. Many of those same prosecutors oppose mandatory minimum prison sentences for violent crimes and have released murderers back on the streets.

The Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach (FAFO), led by Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner and Minneapolis district attorney Mary Moriarty and launched on Wednesday, calls itself "an effort to hold federal officials accountable when they exceed their lawful authority." The nine-member coalition plans to convene next month "to share strategies for pushing back against the lawless actions of federal forces in states and cities around the country." Under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, federal agents are generally immune from state prosecution for acts carried out within the scope of their official duties.

Let this sink in for a moment: Soros DA's vow to hunt Ice Like Nazi War criminals – considering George Soros himself is an admitted and proud actual Nazi war criminal. He and his father worked for the Nazis during their occupation of Hungary by helping them identify and round up the Jews of Budapest and elsewhere, who were then loaded onto cattle trains and shipped directly to the gas chambers and crematoria of Birkenau. they were paid handsomely by the Nazis and allowed to expropriate the dispatched Jews' property/money which was the seed capital for Soros' financial empire that has fueled much of the anti-American and anti-Western subversion over the past 50 years or more.

The chutzpocrisy here is off the charts almost to the point of hilarity. While the torch has been passed to son Alex Soros, that George Soros has not been stripped of his citizenship and deported back to Hungary for being an admitted bona fide Nazi war criminal in violation of his immigration status is an infamy. I know that I and others almost from the moment Trump was sworn in for his first term were shrieking our lungs out for him to act on this and yet to this day, Soros remains untouched and his evil empire is feverishly working to destroy us from within.

The damage to our safety and liberty as individuals and as a society via the installation of pro-crime DAs and Secretaries of State to help grease the wheels of election fraud is incalculable. What we are witnessing in Minneapolis and elsewhere is in no small part fueled by Soros blood money.

Psaki-psircling back to that excellent piece highlighting the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I now ask, did Alex Pretti and Renee Good get what they "deserved?" That's debatable, but one thing is for sure, America, the safety, security civil rights of the citizenry, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the rule of law got what it desperately needed when those two met their fate. Sad on many levels that it had to come to that, But that said, it's only a start. Those who set them and all the others like them up to be cannon fodder in service to the seizure of absolute power and the dissolution of our nation and society must be destroyed, peacefully and via the processes and rule of law that they themselves have set a match to if at all possible. But the anti-American Leftist political movement and the Democrat Party itself must be eradicated if America is to last past its 250th year if it even reaches that milestone six months from now.

Lurker extraordinaire Victor Davis Hanson is not the first to invoke what happened 165 years ago . . . It's an insurrection if they can keep it:

.Lincoln and the preservationists felt that they easily had the moral high ground of abolition versus the continuance of slavery. Nor did they want a North America of fragmenting, warring nations in the manner of Europe.
Something similar is emerging over Minnesota, the South Carolina of our age. . . Once sanctuary states, cities, and counties had established the precedent that, with impunity, they could nullify federal immigration law, then what followed was a logical and mounting descent into the current open defiance of the federal government. How odd that self-described progressives are now acting out the visions of prior kindred nullificationists and neo-Confederates from John C. Calhoun to George Wallace.
The reaction of the rest of the nation, especially its conservative half, to Minnesota resembles the 1861 disconnect in the North over the insurrectionary states.

Have a great day.

27 It might be time for Trump and his administration to focus on the domestic issues caused by the judicial coup underway and leave the international issues for another day.

Either the DoJ and the various security or investigative agencies are capable of dealing with the judiciary or they aren't. But I'd like to see some focus on that problem. If for no other reason than it will clear the air about certain cabinet and administration members that have questionable reputations at best.

31 The "Recalibration" by Trump in MN is now seen as a sign of weakness. Insurgency has now picked up and spread to Philly with their DA vowing (on TV) to hunt down ICE agents if they come to Philly and enforce the law that Philly LE refuses to enforce.

Politicians are openly fomenting violence and coordinating with the communist insurgency.

Again, my opinion here, Trump let this go on for two long. And his latest moves have been seen as weakness with Mayor Jacob Frey basically telling Trump to GFH. we have a limited amount of remaining time in Winter before temps rise and this spreads all over. The commies are willing to sacrifice an unlimited amnt of bodies for the revolution. This is what we are up against.

Trump can go soft and want to make deals....he can't this time. Commies only know the first.

I'll wait and see Homan in charge and how that goes before rendering judgement. Regardless, the coms and narrative driving from this Admin needs to improve. That's half the battle. And theyhave been uneven at best.

39 On the facts, Trump is winning on every issue, but Democrats still control the narrative. Trump and Republicans need to speak out and fight back hard.

--

Uh, just how long do we have to go on saying the same thing over and over and over? I can't think of a time when this was not the case. Dems still control the media (and because of that, the narrative) to an extent far beyond what we'd like to believe. Trump is only one man. The Republican Party doesn't fight back. I don't ever expect them to, unfortunately. Furthermore, they don't want to. Examples day after day, month after month, year after year.

I would like to grab one of these GOP assholes, slam them against the wall and have them explain to me how their Article 1 Sections 2/3 roles are supposed to be recognized as they allow the US Constitution to be trashed?

There is nothing sacred and holy about those sections when everything else has been destroyed.

This is all easy explained from the Scriptural standpoint. Unfortunately, the vocabulary of a spirit world has largely been corrupted and forgotten.

Other than the Wisdom and Psalms books telling us directly, there is also the Apostle Paul's flow chart in the second half of the first chapter in the Romans Epistles which, roughly stated, indicate that as they become incrementally estranged from God, they become more foolish and insane.

94 I was convinced the "new" video of Pretti was just AI misinformation, and argued so vehemently, but willingness to accept evidence and truth are what separates us from MAGA, and it’s clear the video is legit. It doesn't change the fact he was murdered.

This video shows Alex defending his city and his neighbors from the boot-heel of the brown shirts. He didnt hurt anyone or commit any crime beyond being opposed to the new regime which is now a crime in America. Alex Pretti and Renee Good are heroes end of story

Actually this meas it was a targeted assassination most likely. Domestic terrorist database, doesn't need to be the same exact guys.

What happened before this video? And what is he yelling at them? Not saying anyone should kick federal vehicles, but when you're a compassionate person, violence is not the name of what comes out of you in moments like this.

trying to justify his anger is a trap. This is the kind of thing conservatives will want to debate to muddy the waters. It's also irrelevant to his assault and murder.

Whatever happened to NASA's Primary Mission under DogEater of Muslim Outreach?

[As an aside:] Apollo and Artemis were Greek Mythology twin deities -- children of Zeus and Leto -- often symbolizing opposing yet complementary forces.

Apollo represents" the sun, light, music, poetry, and civilization, embodying order, reason, and harmony.\

Artemis, his sister: governs the moon, night, the hunt, wilderness, and virginity, symbolizing independence, nature, and the untamed spirit.

Despite their differences -- Apollo associated with gold and stability, Artemis with silver and mutability -- they are inseparable, reflecting the duality of existence.

They got what they were set-up to get by Walz and Frey.

This thought came to me last night. Assume for argument sake: Walz and Frey and others are in-public correctly describing ICE. A rogue para-military army of un-trained thugs. Having no legal authority to do the following to non-illegal aliens: Detain, arrest, stop their vehicles, pepper spray, and harm. (Leftists like Pretti believe it). The Gestapo. Literal Nazis on the streets by order of Trump.

Now then, for many consecutive days, Walz and Frey watched ICE take those illegal and violent actions against peaceful civilian protestors. Minneapolis citizens. Yet Walz and Frey did not passively watch. No, they exhorted their citizens to actively resist the lawless Gestapo on the streets!

Why didn't they think of the safety of their people? Why not order their citizens to stay away from the Gestapo Thugs? Why didn't they use state and city police to protect peaceful protestors from Gestapo troops who want to arrest, beat, and shoot them?

A despicable political op

Why are you conceding to the liars? Since they don't collect immigration status (or report it), where are the receipts for that claim?

Its emotional black mail based on a failed concept that if you allow X from here, then you should be OK with allowing X from somewhere else.

Except we don't allow it. That is why Normals call X a crime. But the Left is OK with violent crime and they project their acceptance of that on to you being OK with it.

If one American committed a violent crime, that, to Normals, is one violent crime too many. For them, they just think in ratios, not about any morality and human flourishing behind actions.

129 Here's what I would do at this point, if I'm Trump. These DAs, and Dems in general, have ruthlessly abused the legal system to come after him, and its high damned time he turned the tables.

I would privately tell FISC "look I am going to aggressively and very publicly campaign against the unpopular FISA reauthorizations, to make a veto override extremely dangerous for my cowardly caucus, and then I will veto it if it crosses my desk.

Unless, of course, you maggots rubber stamp every last warrant I put in front of you. If you want your unconstitutional kangaroo court to survive me, you'll play ball, and eat this shit sandwich with a smile."

Then people like Krasner get secretly surveilled. That surveillance will of course immediately reveal a whole panoply of crimes for my attorneys to build illegal parallel evidentiary constructions around, and start dragging these people through the mud in actual courts, and the court of public opinion.

Every sentient human being who's ever lived among the Aztecs in their citadels knows they are responsible for drastically more of the crime than the average American. Crime and corruption are their natural manure.

And we also know they are being given a pass by corrupt police, DAs, and politicians.

It's very reminiscent of the Soviet claims that things like drug abuse and serial killing don't exist under socialism, and their wise monkey approach to those crimes.

One doesn't even need to have a direct confrontation, there was a RC priest that was delivering a message and noted that one of the parishioners gave a full body sigh. He was so offended at this gesture that he went on tilt and wrote on social media how much he wanted to visit violence on this one man for his insolence in daring to not sit on the edge of the seat in eager anticipation of the orator's next words.

295 Census gives first sign of anti-immigration impact on Iowa’s population. New immigrants coming to Iowa dropped 53% over the last year.years. in turn, the state's overall population growth was cut it half (this is a national trend).

Exciting news for these poor tortured cis white men who can't find jobs. Now all these jobs are available for them in the fields and in factories and every other miserable place you can think of. I'm sure they can't wait to get signed on for any one of them!! Hey Republicans, fuck you.

I just don’t at all understand this anti-immigrant sentiment. We are a nation of immigrants and immigrants help push America forward. Being this hateful and scared all the time has to be tiresome.

I don't know any Iowans who wouldn't want more immigrants. I'd like an immigration system that is similar to other developed countries, which brings in those that can contribute the most to society. I don't get why this is controversial. Every immigrant I know that is here went through a ton of work to do it legally. That process needs to be improved.

307 And another argument I've been seeing the left use about the illegals: "But more Americans commit violent crimes than illegal immigrants!"
---
That's not an argument against enforcing immigration law.
That's an argument against enforcing any laws.

Because that's what's at stake in MN:
If the mob can prevent the state from enforcing laws it does not like, then there is no law.

There is no democracy or republic--there is only men with power.

The same mob can (and has in the past) prevented the state from enforcing laws against murder, rape and theft.
And that is why, if they do not disperse, the state opens fire and kills as many as possible.

Northwest Ordnances passed under the old Articles Congress and the later repassing under the new Constitutional government specifically ruled colonizing out.

That is true of almost all actors. And that is the reason why so many are willing to crawl over broken glass to get parts and even submit themselves to degradation and abuse. It is because they are aware that a lot of others just as talented might get the part, role, etc. if they don't take the ticket.

Depends on the facts, for example, MN law requires you to have a permit with you do so. So far, it appears that the unalived individual did not have any id on him but did have an Illinois FOID permit reportedly. Unclear whether he had a non resident permit in MN.

But no protection for engaging in tussles with any law enforcement officer and they can be disarmed forcibly once you commit crimes like obstructing an officer from official duties, etc.

Some states do ban having firearms at political or sporting rallies, etc. or around voting areas. MN does not have a 'public gathering' type law apparently.

423 Good morning, all! Thank you, J.J.

From above, "A coalition* of left-wing district attorneys largely funded by billionaire George Soros launched an initiative to prosecute federal immigration agents in their jurisdictions, setting the stage for a potential showdown with the Trump administration. Many of those same prosecutors oppose mandatory minimum prison sentences for violent crimes and have released murderers back on the streets." (*There have been more nationwide than routinely reported by any watch group.)

Beyond 'the' Larry Krasner, key Soros-Backed District Attorney efforts in Pennsylvania include Jack Stollsteimer (Delaware County) and Matt Dugan (Allegheny County).

Stollsteimer became the county DA for some years. See Broad + Liberty, 'Delco DA Stollsteimer won’t help enforce immigration law on ‘peaceful’ illegal aliens,' Feb. 14, 2025.
But note that he's moved up through recent election, sworn in as Judge of the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas.

Further, "Pennsylvania Prison Society names former public defender Matt Dugan to head Western PA office,' 950.5 WESA, published Jan. 26, 2026.

424 My point is not to harp on the politics of PA, but rather to point out the many individuals nationwide who've been funded by Soros' Foundations are not just still round where they began in the process but some have moved out & up to other even more influential positions.

AI Overview: George Soros, through his Open Society Foundations (OSF), has for decades operated with a "ground-up" strategy aimed at building coalitions of local civil society organizations to support democracy, human rights, and progressive causes. Founded in 1979, the philanthropy is now led by his son, Alex Soros, and functions as a, as described in 2025, "political philanthropy" focused on long-term structural change rather than short-term electoral cycles.
--
Only founded in 1979. And now there are so many more equally progressive foundations in play.

Lastly, while a local radio host seemed infuriated over Krasner's latest stunt, the one thing that was mentioned time & time again is that the Philly police will continue to back him in any election.

And past the boundaries of Philly, the county FOP backed Stollsheimer & county prosecutors backed Matt Dugan.

429 I am truly sick of Hanson. He seems to believe that succession was illegal. He thus loses all credibility. To get the Constitution ratified 3 states demanded the right to leave the Union at any time for any reason. The other states concurred and the Constitution was ratified. Lincoln knew this as did all others. This is why not one member of the CSA was charged with treason, there was no case. Yet Hanson rants on united support for Lincoln's actions. Really.

50,000 people imprisoned without trial for opposing Lincoln. He could avoided war but did everything possible to escalate violence. The reason ws simple, not slavery-Lincoln offered the South an amendment permanently legalizing slavery but money. The North increased tariffs over 300% in the two years prior to Lincolns election with 37% of the vote. No other president had such a miserable vote total. Rather than try to bind the wounds Lincoln rubbed salt in them. He caused a war that took the lives of a million Americans. Hanson claims this was necessary to end the evils of slavery. No other nation fought a war to end slavery. It was all about money, and a strong central govt.

  • Windows 11 now has a billion users, all of whom hate it. (Thurrott)

    I wouldn't advise clicking on that link. It launched multiple video ads all playing at once and choked my browser to the point that I couldn't even close the tab.

    Anyway:
    As part of today's quarterly earnings conference call, Microsoft revealed that there are now over one billion Windows 11 users. That's a big milestone by any measure, but here's what I find interesting: It took Windows 11 less time to reach one billion users than it did for Windows 10.
    By three months, and they had to murder Windows 10 to do it.
    Today, the narrative is that everyone hates Windows 11. I complain about the enshittification, which is real. But that started with Windows 10 (or, really Windows . And I don't "hate" Windows 11, nor do I see hatred out in the world.
    I don't think you've looked, Paul.


  • Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux. (Himthe)
    So there I was, finally grasping the reality of what you're up against, as a Windows user:
    • Random bugs that break basic functionality
    • Updates that install without permission and brick my system
    • Copilot and OneDrive ads appearing in every corner of the OS
    • Copilot buttons everywhere, coming for every application
    • Can't even make a local account without hacking the setup with Rufus (they even removed the terminal workaround)
    • Zero actionable fixes or even an aknowledgment of their fuckups
    Sounds about right, yes.
    People often say Linux is "too much work.".

    And I agree. They're completely justified to complain. There's the documentation page diving, the forums, the reddit threads. And, most importantly, you have to basically rewire your brain and stop expecting it to behave like Windows used to.

    But I looked at the list above and realized: Windows is now also too much work.
    And the difference with Windows is that you're going to do all that work while actively fighting your computer only for it to be undone when the next surprise update comes and ruins everything.

    There is also Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition LTSC.

    Or Windows 7, which doesn't get updates so it doesn't break.

14 12 Last night was very cold yet all the local colleges and universities (except the local technical Institute) held rallies against ICE. Breaking a few downtown windows and looting as usual. Not sure what looting and ICE hating have in common, but opportunity I guess. Probably most professors lead the way. It shows their is nothing peaceful about the left (or right).

They were just peaceful protests so why arrest anyone, ignoring the main street broken windows that the shop owners will have to pay to replace with plywood. And more business will move to the suburbs. Don't the city 'fathers' realize that main street business know when to leave to the outskirts and the tax money they loose.

EU Poised To Label IRGC A Terror Org, Boosting Potential Trump Strikes On Iran

IRGC = Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

Posted by: m at January 29, 2026 06:38 AM (SSiCQ)

106 Wikipedia

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), also known as the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, is a multi-service primary branch of the Iranian Armed Forces. It was officially established by Ruhollah Khomeini as a military branch in May 1979 in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution.

Whereas the Iranian Army protects the country's sovereignty in a traditional capacity, the IRGC's constitutional mandate is to ensure the integrity of the Islamic Republic.

Most interpretations of this mandate assert that it entrusts the IRGC with preventing foreign interference in Iran, thwarting coups by the traditional military, and crushing "deviant movements" that harm the ideological legacy of the Islamic Revolution.

108 Totaling it all up in prep for my taxes, I see I made a profit this first nine months of my retirement. "Profit" as in my income exceeded my income by quite a bit.

This year will be different, since I won't have the three months of salary from my old employer (and my vacation time payoff) to kick things off. It still looks like I'll be fine.

I have all my paperwork now. I'll sit down with the IRS form and pencil it all in. To be safe, I guess, I may use a tax preparer, but that will wipe out whatever refund I get; so I'm not sure yet. My situation is not that complex, though.

"Left" is a brand that describes an ideology that is antithetical to human flourishing that expresses itself in demonic ways. What is the "right"? Its basis is in "leave me alone" and its manifestation is in its reluctance to fight on the Left's terms and playing field.

Linux Mint.. It's the most Windows like in the GUI and comes with a Software manager that helps you install most of the apps that you want.

Somethings like setting up a Plex Media Server, you will need to go to the Terminal Command Line for but that's not an app most Newbies use.

161 Linux has been technically superior to Windows for decades. Unless you want t run the latest AAA game (and Steam and others are working on that) there is nothing you can do on Windows that you can't do on Linux.


Honestly, if you use your computer mostly for browsing, etc, well, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, etc., are all running natively on Linux.


Also, most linux distros will allow you to boot from a USB drive and test drive the system before you commit to an install. So why not give it a try? getfedora.org and download the KDE Plasma edition, and give it a try.

162 "Is there a n00b version of Linux that doesn't have me running to a forum if I can't start my computer? Asking for a friend. Who is me."

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for 20 yars, and am quite happy with it. I admit that in the past, I had some trouble with installing drivers for some less-than-mainstream hardware - in one case, a wifi chip, in the other an older-generation laser printer. But with the latest release that I've installed (24.4 - ie, the April 2024 release), everything just worked, no muss, no fuss.

One nice feature is that you can boot Ubuntu from the installation media, without installing it on your machine. It runs slowly, but you can sample its look and feel and see if you like it.

A big drawback in the past was lack of support for Linux by games manufacturers. I'm not a gamer, but I'm told that that has changed, and that quite a few major games companies now support Linux.

Another advantage is that Linux runs on trailing-edge hardware. So if you have an older machine that can't run Windows, you can install Linux, and see if you like it. If nothing else, you won't have Redmond monitoring your every action on what you thought was your computer.

I know how they get those reports and... I am laughing at them.

I bet there's a way you can file a complaint with the IRS, and maybe even your congresscritter. Not that I'm holding my breath for those timwalzes to do anything, but Schwab must have a zillion customers having assimilated TD Ameritrade which ate Scottrade which ate ETrade, so let's have some fun poking the asshoes.

166 The whole Linux learning curve narrative is largely overblown.

The reason most people won't switch is simple...

Apps.

And it's not offered as a pre-installed option generally.

Apps.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - January 28, 2026 [TRex]

20260127-yosemite-winter.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional, but only if you are in very warm surroundings. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

Please indulge me for a moment:

Many people know Porsches as the sportscar in Risky Business or Weird Science. Charlie drove a Porsche speedster in Top Gun and Will Smith drove a 911 Turbo in Bad Boys. Maybe you knew a local doctor that had a red one or an uncle with something that vaguely looked like a sporty VW.

Before Porsches became more broadly known in the 1980s, it was a much different company. The company was only born in 1948 and was smaller than other manufacturers. In the mid 1960s, the 911 succeeded the 356 which was the company's first model. The 911 was simple and sporty with a timeless shape where form followed function. It was not a luxury car.

Porsche believed that motorsport improved the breed. The 911 was a road car but it was raced by the factory and customers alike.

Porsche engineer Peter Falk joined the company in 1959 and rose quickly to head various testing programs, including the first road going and racing 911 cars. He served as navigator in the first international race for the 911, the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally. Racing was competitive R&D and run out of the passenger car business.

In the 1960s, Falk managed the racing program. In the mid-1960s and 1970s, the factory built pure racers like the 917 to challenge for wins at the biggest races. In 1981, the racing program was formally moved from under the passenger car business and Falk became Porsche's racing director.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Porsche moved from chasing others to having everyone else chase Porsche. Porsche did not just win - it dominated. Falk lead an amazing group of people that accomplished amazing things. It was a right place, right time, right people scenario. The engineers were not flashy and let the cars and drivers take the spotlight. It was a time before everything became electronic and driven by computers. Trial and error, intelligence, willpower, and on-the-fly engineering pushed progress.

Porsche claimed motorsport success in the 1980s across many forms of motorsport (including LeMans and Dakar), remarkable for a racing department that was tiny by modern standards.

Most people have never heard of Peter Falk or the people in his orbit but Porsche as a company and motorsport in general would not be the same without their involvement and Herr Falk's leadership.

Peter Falk's earthy race saw the checkered flag on January 23. He was 93.

No, Porsche Peter Falk is not the same as the Columbo Peter Falk.

20 I lived in Boston's North End some 40 years ago (wow!). Parking was miserable even in the best of times. During snow - no previously shoveled spot was ever taken by a non-shovelee.

25 Street parking in the snow.
My town doesn't plow residential streets unless there is more than 5" of snow. Several years ago we had a foot and a half fall overnight. The city plow came through, a road grader actually, buried my car.
I was just setting out to dig it out when a city employee arrived with a snowblower and dug me out. He also blew my sidewalk.
I love living in a small town.

The Artemis II wet dress rehearsal test is scheduled for Jan 31 at the pad. This is where they load up the rocket with fuel and LOX and got through a simulated countdown to about 30 secs before ignition.

That hard freeze in the forecast Jan 31 - Feb 1 may mess that up, don't know. With Artemis I, they had a time with some liquid H2 leaks and had to roll the whole thing back to the VAB for repairs.

If all goes well, Feb 6 will be the launch date.

58 When VW was trying to start up after the war, workmen were living in the rubble and trying to assemble cars. Henry Ford sent someone to see what they were doing and to see if he should invest, as Europe would need millions of cars pretty quickly. His representative said that it was a mess not worth getting involved in. Bad mistake. Of course, Ford eventually built factories in Germany, Britain, elsewhere, but owning VW would have been cheap way to corner the market.

81 One of the finest carburetor designs ever made were the Motorcraft 2100 and 4100 series. Annular discharge booster cluster. The early 60s exemplar I had, a big “H” cast into the body, pretty sure it was built/designed by Holley.

One problem with modern gasoline, it is corrosive. I could never get the power valves to last very long. Maybe a year.

Terrible. Something like 60+% of donations go to marketing, which leaves only ~35% for anything charitable. Each state has its own K4K organization. That state org passes out cash to kid charities in that state, which averaged about 13% of donations they receive ( a little less than half of their charity stuff). The remains portion gets forwarded to the org that controls the shebang.
Here's the good part - that organization is a charity in NJ, who's raison d't

140 Carburetors were and are supplied WAY rich, to prevent burnt exhaust valves, holed pistons.

Detroit purposely kept valve spring height (tension) a little on the weak side for production models. This acts as a natural rev limiter, preventing warranty returns from “overenthusiastic” drivers.

Careful tuning will get you about 20 mpg on the highway, 25 in a car. Very similar to what modern V8 achieves now, with fuel injection.

The catalytic converter was a “tell”. They detuned the engines to such a degree raw fuel was spewing out the exhaust. What to do? Let’s burn it! Turns out at highest engine performance efficiency, HC and CO are minimized. But NOX spikes. That’s the stuff that, when exposed to sunlight, creates smog. So they basically cut fuel mileage in half, to eliminate NOX.

They did that by reducing compression, retarded ignition timing, and retarded valve timing, and other stupid engineering band-aids. Engines ran hot and prone to going chernobyl.

The one I had was mechanical secondaries, and was a double pumper. I had put it on a 1971 roadrunner with a 340. It had that frigging carter thermoquad (thermobomb). It ran ok, but just was never great. I had a speed shop up the street and grabbed the holly. When I stuck the holley on it it became frigging silly. It was powerful enough that I semi exploded the clutch within the next few rides. I couldn't believe the power it had. I wish I still had that carb. These days I have a 69 roadrunner, but it has one of those newer edlebrock AVS 2 carbs which works real nice, but my gut says that holley would have been really nice.

Springsteen announced the release Wednesday on Instagram.

"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis," Springsteen said. "It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good."

The slow-burning song builds from just acoustic guitar and voice to a fuller band tune, including a harmonica solo, and ends with chants of "ICE Out!"

I was just looking into the details of if the cold snap will affect the Artemiss II preparations. Turns out that's why the bumped the wet dress rehearsal up a day or so from Feb 2. That's crazy you might think, bump it up to the very day.

They got average temp guidelines. Tanking operations can't be done if the average temp is less than 41.4F for 24 hours. By starting earlier, they can keep it above that average.

Forecast low for the space coast there is about 26F that night. By starting earlier, they get started before that cold blast lowers the average.

When he got ready to make his first pass, I took my son up about 25 feet to the side of the startup area. He jumped behind me when it started and I laughed. Back then, they started on methanol and switched to nitromethane just before they staged. I told my son to "just wait". It was stunning!

Washed-up 1980s actress Molly Ringwald has declared the Trump administration a full-blown “fascist government” and warned that anyone supporting the president’s policies, especially on immigration, will be branded as traitors and face punishment once Democrats gain power.

The former teen star, best known for films like Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink, posted a four-minute video on social media where she compared Trump supporters to Nazi collaborators in World War II France.

“I feel like I can’t stay silent, and neither should you,” Ringwald said. “There’s something horrible going on in our country right now — we had one of the greatest countries in the world — but right now, this is a fascist government.”

“It’s not becoming a fascist government, it is a fascist government,” Ringwald continued. “ICE is brutalizing people.”

Now, for launch, the minimum launch temperature for the SLS is 38 - 49F, a wide range that depends on RH and wind speed.

Counterintuitively, the lower temp minimum occurs with higher RH and wind speed, exactly opposite of what you'd think.

When it's very dry and calm, that's when you get the 49F minimum.

191 Regarding the Schumer Shutdown 2 threat, I'm glad that at least bloggers are pretty consistently sharp, pointing out that failure to enforce immigration law is anti-democratic. We express our constitutional self-rule through electing representatives who write bills and pass them to the elected executive to sign into law; but if it stops there, then it's just democracy theater, form without substance. Where our elected legislators are the voice of democracy, cops are its hands, making it real. To oppose law enforcement, as Democrats do, is to oppose majoritarian self-rule itself (as expected of the party of bureaucratic anarcho-tyranny).

But. Where's the plan? I'm still not hearing one from anyone but me. House Republicans need to get off their butts and internally negotiate a raft of the most MAGA bills that could barely pass with their narrow majority, a dream platform that would never get past the 60-vote cloture threshold in the Senate, and then hold them like a threat. So then, Senate Republicans can point to that arsenal held in abeyance and say, if we have to nuke the filibuster just to fund Homeland Security, then we'll pass every single one of those other bills too.

According to Grok, there is an upper temp limit for launch as well, 94.5F or higher for 30 minutes.

Vehicle performance does vary with all these weather variables, but within those safety ranges, it's very small, only a few percent. In colder temps, the solid fuel in the boosters burns a bit slower.

Air density near the surface affects drag. Colder means denser and more drag. That requires the control system to adjust on the fly, but the variation is not enough to be a problem within the safety limits.

Edelbrock makes a nice 2x4 set up for the 440 which isn't all that much, well compared to the 6pack anyway. A new 6 pack these days is like 5K while the 2x4 is $1700 with the air cleaner. carbs, and manifold.

That seems wrong to me. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are the similar gospels. John is the "one of these things is not like the others" one.

Matthew, Mark, and John were original apostles. Luke never met Jesus in the flesh. He relied on the reports of others, including Matthew and/or Mark, obviously, but also, some figure, interviewing Mary herself.

So his was in that sense the odd man out; not sure how that makes him sugar-free, though.

We didn't get a lot of snow worth mentioning when I was a kid. That may be why Mom didn't know how to dress me for the cold. Like those cloth gloves that got soaked through as soon as they touched snow.

Also, sledding hills are few and far between.

Anyway, one snowy winter, out here on Rancho Webworko, there were a bunch of us kids - family & friends, on a big, long toboggan, towed around the pasture behind the old Allis tractor. It was hilarious. Even falling off of it. Real flatland fun.

It was one of those things I figure they did more often when the older kids were young, but only did once in my life (like a lot of things before the family fell apart). I think the toboggan may actually still be out there in the rafters of the metal barn. The Allis is long since put out to pasture.

So long ago but more memorable than breakfast.

Nobody gains a comparative advantage by being locked out of international currency exchange. Certainly not an absolute one - nobody gains from it, in any event - not the targeted country or the reserve currency holders.

291 …40th anniversary of the Challenger explosion…

I can never forget the day I’d just sat down with our 4½ year old daughter to watch Mister Rogers, and when I turned on the tv, there was Dan Rather, looking grave, with a model of the launch rocket on his desk. My heart sank before he could say a word.

And yesterday was the anniversary of the Apollo 1 fire.

What I’ve read about the new planned moon mission concerns me. Don’t need a repeat of the errors that destroyed two shuttles.
🚀

Well, we watched the penultimate Resident Alien earlier today, and now we get to conclude the series. It's been a fun run.

Never watched the conclusion of Babylon 5. Missed the last season of Trek Next Gen and Deep Space 5 both. Didn't catch the last of Warehouse 13. Life got too busy for most of those. Glad to get to the end of a series that knows it's concluding.

So, I'll clock out now. 🕦

301 The day the challenger exploded I was working in a old building we were renovating. We had run new floor beams for a long hallway and were waiting for a delivery of plywood for the sub flooring. The driver, a dude in his early 20's who was always the delivery guy pulls up and the first thing out of his mouth was "did you hear about the shuttle? It blew up." My father and brother was there. We unloaded the plywood, packed up the tools and just went home.

Yeah, no shit. A late 80s one in "good" condition can fetch up to $10k.

Assuming you bought on in 1980, and took delivery of the new vehicle in 1989, once the Treuhand raffled off the company to VW and crashed the currency, you'd have an effectively worthless item.

So it's definitely a big profit.

The last words spoken by the crew of Challenger were by Pilot Mike Smith, which were recorded on the "black box" recorder. It was simply "Uh-oh". The right side SRB pulled away causing a lateral acceleration which the crew felt. That's when he said it.

I've read the last words of pilots recorded on the black boxes are often "Oh, shit" before the end.

This is true. The funny thing is whenever I came across musicians that were dumb as a bag of hammers it was usually not anyone from the metal tribe. Maybe it's because we didn't view ourselves as "artists". Whenever I ran across musicians who thought of themselves as artists, thats when shit got weird, and it was very very rarely metal dudes. Artist was just another way of saying I'm a narcissistic douchebag who thinks the world gives a shit about what I have to say. Us metal guys, we didn't give a shit who cared or not, its not why we were in it. I still have that attitude, I still don't give a shit, and I say it a lot. When metal started splitting into all these weird sub genres of false metal you started seeing more "artists". Douchebags against the machine is a classic example.

If the Pinto had an electric fuel pump as did Buddy's ~1986 F-150, it could have kept pumping after the collision. All that excess fuel could have ignited as did the pick-up.

It's a grim thing to contemplate, but the crew survived the initial explosion. The crew cabin survived intact, and ultimately hit the ocean at 200 mph.

There was evidence that some of the crew were activating emergency air supplies. Some switches were found in positions that indicating Pilot Mike Smith was attempting some kind of emergency procedures.

Bers, I liked a whole bunch of what you posted about true metal, the only thing that scares me about metal, and I am being totally honest with you here, it is so brutally honest that a mentally ill person could ideate a bit off of it.

388 State police detective called me again today-- BIL's truck was towed & impounded. (Not sure whether broke down, wrecked or just stuck in the mud.)

He'd been picked up hitchhiking & was taken to hospital and released.. last week. They can't tell me what was up with that, but seems he walked away and is ok.

I think he's upset that I didn't roll out the welcome mat for him, so never tried to contact me after I told him "do not come here" in December. Don't even really *know* the guy, after all. Sounds like he has his wallet and ID, but abandoned his phone with the truck.

Yeah, not really sure thats the case. I guess it seems brutally honest because the songs are about history, or taken from books, or movies, or sci-fi or fantasy genres, so its truthful in it's portrayal. I think the main thing is to be able to paint a huge story or picture in a person's mind in a very limited space of 3 minutes. There is an edge to it though, probably because it needs to cut through bullshit. Its the Anti Tolkien.

393 I guess a better way to explain the lyrics is to use an example I use a lot. Somebody once said to me that metal bands don't do songs about trains. Not sure they said it or why it mattered, but I said are you frigging kidding me? There are 2 right off the top of my head, and both are metal classics. Riding with the driver, from Motorhead, and Princess of the night from Saxon. The motorhead song was a classic example of painting a huge picture in limited words-

Iron child from a vulcans forge, metal scream and thrash
Red steel in the driving wheel, hear the pistons clash
Black dragon breathing big black smoke, howling up the tracks

So what is that? Its a train, not just a train, a pissed off train, a powerful train, maybe possessed, maybe almost sentient, the mind wonders. Many possibilities in 3 lines.

56 There was a reef in front of my dive shop in PR. The water was about 25 and the reef topped just a few inches below the surface.

About halfway down the reef there was a small cave between the bottom of the reef and ocean floor. There just enough room to slide along the bottom on your belly and the tank just barely below the bottom of the reef. The cave was only about 10 feet long and it opened in a round "room" big enough for 3 people and it was open to the top of the reef. When the sun hit the room the reef would light up with the sunlight reflecting off the coral. We called it the cathedral.

Cool place.

70 As a doctor of psychiatry, I have had ample opportunity to study the phenomenon known as Sphenisciphobia: the excessive fear of, or aversion to, the harmless, flightless birds better known as penguins. Based on my extensive research, it is clear that this phobia usually stems from poor potty training, which explains why it is also often found in conjunction with a parallel neurosis, Chiropteraphilia, an excessive fondness for bats arising out of an unhealthy admiration for their tendency to wantonly scatter their feces, or guano, with complete abandon. I have compiled substantial empirical evidence in support of this view, much of which appears in the Fall edition of the scholarly quarterly journal, Penguin Antipathies: Common Origins, under the title “Penguin Poop: Does Anybody Really Give A S**t?”.

There is something about cutting grapes in half and putting them side by side, touching, on a plate in the microwave that causes plasma.

There is no “was a Marine”.
Posted by: Cow Demon

1) yes, Marine is always capitalized

2) Once A Marine Always A Marine?
Marines from the 70s say Ex-Marine is fine
Marines from 90s (me) say Former Marine is standard, Ex-Marine = prob a poser
Marines from 2020s say Always A Marine means Marine, Former or Ex-Marine = prob a poser

I don't know who decides, I think it's a veteran org, but they aren't telling us when they change it. So now, civilians who think they are doing us a favor by policing Stolen Valor are accidentally accusing honorable Marines of Stolen Valor based on something they read on the internet.

Please stop doing this. It REALLY sucks. The stigma associated with stolen valor is almost as reprehensible to us as the stigma associated with child molestation. Stolen Valor shitbirds are separated from gen pop in prison so they won't be murdered. It's happened to me, fcked up my mental health to the point I've had to put myself in therapy as a precaution to prevent myself from wiping the perp's entire family off the face of the earth.

126 A microcosm of Tim Walz's idiocy:

He made a point to complain to the media that people were driving up to his house and calling him a retard. He, obviously, did it to gain sympathy while casting negativity on his opposition.

Here's the thing. You can't get anywhere near the Governor's Mansion in Minnesota. There is a giant yard surrounding the house. Then there is an iron fence. Then, there is a non-access area beyond the fence the size of a large parking lot. No thruways give access anywhere close to the residence.

NO ONE drove up to the Governor's Mansion and called him a retard. BUT, by making up the story he created a hilarious and sticking Colloquialism directly associated with him. At the same time he emboldened a cowed public into using the word "retard" on a regular basis once again.

Thank's, Tim. The gift that keeps on giving.

This is why the Climate Change scam is so evil (aside from the 3rd world dying because they've been starved of energy)

In the event of a catastrophe, not only will most disregard legit warnings as another Cry Wolf, climate science is so perverted that it's worse than nothing.

I remember on the Rifle Range the guys that had the hardest time qualifying were ironically the hunters. Because they had learned to shoot "wrong". They had to unlearn all the bad muscle memory before they could even begin to shoot "right"

That's where we are now with climate science. We have to denormalize all the fake science before we can even solve a climate catastrophe

Damn, the latest GFS model run is out, and it has the freeze line pushing toward Miami. Temp of 33F in Miami!

It's interesting. The freeze line doesn't want to get over Lake Okeechobee, so it just sort oozes around it, pushing down from the sides. This latest GFS does have the freeze line crossing a tiny bit over the lake from the NW side.

The latest GFS has that line pushing down into Broward country, 31F for the western half, with the 31F hitting the top of Miami-Dade.

"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.

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.


Shoe
@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.

30 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.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at January 28, 2026 06:41 PM (snZF9)

54 I touched on this below, but it is important.

The commies use cult tactics to convert people. It's the same technique used in sales, you use each step to get the target to take the next step. First into the shop, then look at the car, the sit in the car,... it is a process that gives the salesman control to only move forward.

In cults, they first get your attention, then get you to listen, then participate, then commit, etc.

The organizers use every operation as a way to convert people up to the next level. First, just show up and be seen. Then carry a sign. Then yell at the ICE agents. Then confront them physically. Each step is more of a commitment and it defines a person's self image. Just like the car dealer wanting to get the customer in the car so they see themselves as an owner, the commies want the protesters to see themselves as someone willing to physically harm police. They want that to define their identity.

So this whistle thing is another indoctrination step -- get people to blow a whistle, and they will forever see themselves on the side of "good" and not on the sidelines. The next step is easier once they do that.

____________________________________

This is EXACTLY why I believe the NGO "Indivisible" is directly and deeply involved in the financed/organized resistance of ICE. They were an unofficial tentacle of the US State Department and were involved in "color revolutions" abroad. This was until Trump cut off (USAID) and then, terminated a number of State Dept. employees, as well as other agency employees who had contact with the NGO.

You may recall that they became more public during their sponsorship of the "No Kings" rallies. Now, I think they are primarily operating against the administration domestically. Their specialty was "color revolutions", and they are applying the education and experience they received abroad to the US at present. It would explain O'Keefe's latest drop about how individuals are stationed outside the urban areas at street corners, and the quick response to ICE tactics. Minneapolis has a professional organization involved.

Burt- she said Charlie was a time traveler and she was being recruited to this special school. I am going to go out on a limb and say she is not right here. What she is doing to Erika is awful. She is being sued to shut it up. I don’t care if she is making money hand over fist, it doesn’t erase this crazy. And if she isn’t insane, she is simply evil. Erika met with her, asked her to stop. Erika even thought she was dealing with sane, but she is dealing with narcissist and they don’t compute normally. You also know people grieve in waves - we don’t see her at night with the shower running so her babies don’t hear her crying, do we? Or in the middle of the night. We see her forward face.

Also, Brigette Macron is a woman, and the French Foreign Legion is not wasting time on Candace. (Hello, narcissist, you aren’t that important!)

None.

Now, you can say she doesn't need to prove anything. Fine. But these accusations did not start with Candace Owens. They've been there for decades.

my mother was a French immigrant. We literally just sold the Paris house. Brigette is a woman. Her children look just like her, especially Tiphaine Auzière. Also, look at her arms, those are not man arms. She looks like a severely underweight, sadly chasing youth, old lady because she was a predator and she married the man her daughter had a crush on. That is your scandal, if you want a French scandal so desperately.

Babbitt didn't have a weapon. Was not engaged with Byrd. Byrd was not reasonably in fear of his life. And it was a head shot.

Night and Day.

But had the ICE idiot not gone over and gave some women playground shoves, which did nothing to clear them from in front of the car, if the deal was they were blocking traffic, Pretti wouldn't have had the opportunity to intervene. But once he intervened they started beating on him. Took his gun.

The worst part, that gets the shooting above a 4 in comparison to Babbitt, was shooting him on the ground 6 times.

So 45% of a Byrd.

The Goths were Germanic, originating in the Baltics or Sweden before moving to the Black Sea coast and from there towards the Med. They weren't Aryan, who were from the hilly areas NW of India. They did settle in Gaul and Spain after the fall of Rome and were soon pushed entirely into Spain. The Vandals had been there before but moved into North Africa. Muslims did not exist at this point for centuries more.

WOW: Defense attorneys for Tyler Robinson, the man charged with the September 10 ass*ssination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, are filing motions to BLOCK prosecutors from introducing video footage of the murder at an upcoming February hearing in Utah.

Their argument? The video is "graphic and likely highly disturbing" and could prejudice jurors or taint the process.

271 Czechoslovakia was savable until February, 1948. We didn't even try. We had an empty embassy in Prague.
The first post-war elections the Communists did very well, the best they ever did in an honest election anywhere, because the Czechs hated the Western Powers for the betrayal at Munich. But that shifted very quickly. The Czechs took Marshall Plan aid. CIA should have been in there instead of Italy, where we were not really needed. Of course, the CIA was learning as it went about how to rig other countries' elections. No more sophisticated than literal suitcases of cash being handed out.

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.

nursefired.jpg

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.


Soros prosecutor Larry Krasner says he will "hunt down" ICE agents like Nazis:

The Virginia department of health professions indicates she is still licensed and no emergency suspension or anything appears on her profile. If they have any sense whatsoever they will issue an emergency suspension and then open a disciplinary proceeding to revoke her license.

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.

167 The part that always astonishes me - it is one thing to dislike Donald Trump. Even hate him. Despise him. Even go online and air these feelings. Although that is foolish.

It is quite another to threaten to kill people, online. Record yourself making a plan to kill trump and then post it. How delusional, and more importantly, how fucking narcissistic! You don't even stop a moment and think you might be committing some sort of crime.

He asks why and I say: It's like watching sick whales coming and going in San Francisco Bay.

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.

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.

I think the administration should have a show on Newsmax or a podcast called "This Week in Fraud" and highlight all the billions they have discovered with a tally on screen. They could also keep a tally of indictments for same. Rand Paul could visit, Oz, Elon. It would be a blast.

247 This ritual aspect is also true of demonstrations, protests, flags on social media, etc.


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.

It has little to do with notifying the illegals that ICE is around, and it has everything to do with indoctrination of their cult members.

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?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection K-9 named Dina was boarded at a private kennel in Minneapolis, Minnesota, while her handler was likely away or on assignment.

An employee at the kennel wrote "ICE OUT" on the dog's feeding chart (the schedule/notes for meals, care, etc.). DHS called it out as the dog being "targeted" by anti-ICE agitators, with officials saying things like "They're even going after the dogs!"

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.

He's attacking the frontrunner for the Democrat nomination because he wants to be the nominee instead.

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.

Try to win the Democrat primary with 0% black support.

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?

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.

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.

164 Why, exactly, does the fed-gov even need to get involved with broadband access? It's nearly ubiquitous and pretty cheap already. (I get 500+Mbps for $35/month.)

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.

Don't bring a gun to a riot, period, unless you want to open the door to getting yourself shot by the cops or someone else. If you do, you're not carrying for personal protection in a last-resort situation. You're carrying because you think it makes you Billy Badass, which is the wrong reason to carry a firearm anywhere at any time.

If you do so unarmed they are going to punch/kick/wrestle/taze you. And...perhaps shoot you.

Now, if you bring a gun to assaulting a cop, even if you aren't using it, well, the odds you get the worst result become much higher.

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.

It is mining Appalachia and the Ohio, and the Western valleys of blood to enforce the wars that enrich the bankers and the financiers, and leaves addiction, degradation and death in its path.

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.

Posted by: whig at January 28, 2026 05:27 PM (E4rtv)

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.

57 The problem with Iran's masters is that those masters genuinely believe they are appointed by God to rule. They will kill every Iranian to save Iran from paganism.
Some are more genuine than others, but those who have signed onto the deal - i.e. the Basij - know they are fucked if they lose.

______________________

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.

Or

2) it's one of the things I mentioned and it's a mental status change.

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.

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.

I still thinks it's a gross over-correction for being a McCainian Warmonger for most of punditing life.

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.

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).

I say Konstantin Kisin talk about "moderate islam" and a few other people in the past weeks.

They seem to have a heavy influence campaign to convince the elite that what they are doing to the West is somehow different from the 109 other times they infiltrated and conquered a country.

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.

262 Lotsa arguments over the years that a nuclear-armed Iran might not be so bad, because they have to know their use of the nuclear option would wipe them out - same arguments that were used for not taking out the Soviets when they acquired their nuclear capability.

But Islam is big on martyrdom (which Moscow was not), and I don't see the Iranian leadership being particularly hesitant to pay the price of sacrificing millions of their people. No equivalence here at all.

265 What’s falling is Cucker tries to represent himself as some type of intellectual. A guy open to factual reason. And yet a deep dive into islam results in facts he doesn’t like. 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.

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.

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.

I welcome the world having ways to get around the more abusive games we play with the dollar. Such as using it to fund a 100 thousand NGOs filled with fanatics and thieves.

If we played it straight, they likely would be fine with using it.

Grow up. Corporate restructuring.

Seattle Times, today

"Amazon is again laying off thousands of corporate employees, mirroring broad cuts the company made to its workforce in October as it continues its anti-bureaucracy push."

Now it's the corporate level. At will employment is the legal doctrine in 49 states. AI competition is a factor.

Nearly all the Germans were played by Jews. I believe the actor that played Col. Klink, when asked about it, responded to the effect of "Who better?"

Interestingly enough, the French prisoner was not only played by a Jew, but one who had actually survived the camps...

405 Carlson is motivated by ego. I've seen him appear in a lot of political docu's, particularly "get me roger stone" is the one that stands out, and Carlson is featured rather prominently as though he was one of the king makers that brought about the rise of Trump. 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.

Another thing he does in every interview, is something I find so obnoxious, "I don't even own a TV" he says in almost EVERY interview that brings up his private life.

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.

BREAKING: The FBI has just executed a SEARCH WARRANT at the Fulton County, GA Election HQ, pretty much GROUND ZERO for voter fraud in the 2020 election

Per Fox News, this raid is related to the 2020 election

This is gonna get interesting!

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.

"2020 was the cleanest election ever because it finally overcame the voter suppression barriers that the GOP has been putting up. That explains the massive increase in vote totals for Biden over Obama. We lost 2024 because the GOP was allowed to do voter suppression again."

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 remember hearing for YEARS that the FBI couldn't find the Branch Davidian compound front door/doors. Just a couple of years ago, someone went into one of the FBI evidence rooms dedicated to Waco and they were just leaning on the wall. There's a public picture.

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.

- Insufficient ballots
- 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.

====

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.

247 204 No, one-day voting doesn't present any particular vulnerabilities.

- Missing pens
- Incorrect pens
- Insufficient ballots
- Polling location didn't open
- Ballot reader broken (place it in this bin and we'll read it at a central location)
- Ballots printing on incorrect paper

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.

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.

But this swaggering, hectoring idea that just because you stacked one conclusion on top of another, everyone else must bend the knee to your own perceptions and preferences or else they're either stupid or evil, is just a crappy warmed over materialist bullying tactic.

I think Y follows X. You think it doesn't. If there's no experimental test to prove one of those things over the other, you're just arguing about which movie is better, or if Gretzky or Hull was better.

They also tend to have exactly 1 question on the ballot. Who do you want to be your member of Parliament?

I've had ballots run to 8 pages.

Now, here's the real question. We used to know, in this country, the results of the election within a couple hours. Back in the 70s, and 80s. Why can't we do that now?

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).

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.

Yes, there were a few attempts in PA to introduce false ballots, but also you need to organize that kind of thing. The huge shortfall in overall votes showed that the org was lacking all over.

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.
