Cajun Navy Travels To Oklahoma To Find Missing Boy — Brings Him Home Safe

A happy ending came for 12-year-old Ryan “RJ” Davis, who was recently found safe in Oklahoma thanks to the efforts of the United Cajun Navy.

Nine days after being reported missing by his mother and stepfather, RJ was found safe indoors, unharmed, and warmly embraced by his rescuers.

Authorities believe RJ ran away to seek safety away from his parents’ home.

“He gave us a hug and we told him that he was safe and nobody was going to harm him anymore, and he gave us a big hug and he was ready to go eat some pizza,” said Thomas Gentile of the United Cajun Navy.

Local authorities confirmed RJ is now in a safe environment, and he will not be returning to the property where he was previously living.

The community played a key role in bringing RJ home.

“I asked for the media’s help and we got it,” said Chickasha Police Chief Goebel Music. “How I know that to be true is that where I met and spoke with RJ, when I was hugging him, he said, ‘Hey, I saw you on the news.’ So, what you did worked.”

Walrus Penis Bone Stolen from Iconic Camden Cheesesteak Restaurant

A decades-old walrus penis bone that had become a quirky fixture at Donkey’s Place, a well-known cheesesteak spot in Camden, was stolen by a bar patron, according to the restaurant’s staff.

The item, considered a good luck charm by employees and regulars, was taken by a man who had reportedly been drinking for several hours with two others. Surveillance footage shows the suspect leaving the premises with the walrus penis bone in hand, shortly after the group asked to see it.

Really? A bone from a walrus' junk? People need help.

Spalding! Don't touch it!

Something huge and brown is crossing the Atlantic from Africa to America, and satellites can no longer ignore it

For more than a decade, satellites have watched a brown streak grow across the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2025, that streak reached a new record of about 37.5 million tons of floating seaweed stretching over 5,400 miles, roughly twice the width of the continental United States. Scientists call it the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, and it is now big enough to be tracked from space almost every year.

A new scientific review led by marine scientist Brian Lapointe at Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute pulls together forty years of data to explain how this happened. Published in the journal Harmful Algae, the work shows that a mix of natural forces and human made nutrient pollution has turned a once patchy seaweed into a recurring ocean-scale belt that threatens coasts, economies, and even the climate.

But OF COURSE - it threatens the climate. Good grief.

8 Good evening good people.

The county has prepared all snow removal/management equipment for the expected storm:

The two snow shovels were located and dusted off and Caleb's 1973 Ford pickup was gassed up down at Wally's Filling Station. Violet is fixing biscuits and cornbread just in case.

The models for here are too far out to truly get worried but right now, they are calling for at least 10 inches of snow. Honestly, if that happens, we'll be cut off from the rest of the country until May or so.

Okay by me.

41 Authorities believe RJ ran away to seek safety away from his parents’ home.

Mixed emotions about that story. Glad he's okay, of course.

At not quite that boy's age, I "ran away" for an hour or so one day. I was frustrated by something, I forget what exactly, but I was teased and tormented frequently by siblings, and didn't get a lot of help from parents. Seemed like nobody understood.

I didn't go far, and came back fairly soon. Got the belt. Never ran away again, with that kind of welcome-back.

You don't know your family dynamic is not healthy when you're growing up in it; you just think it's all like that. Even when you have Leave It To Beaver for contrast.

Like having Eddie Haskell for a brother.

Middle of the last century was a different universe.

I do. I took a Fortran course at The Ohio State University back in the day. One compiler error meant a helluva lot of searching through the deck, and if you had to make little piles of cards to find the error(s), then you had better put the new, corrected cards in the right pile and then restack the piles in the correct order.

The whole town (and the airport) are built on a river delta island composed of peat and sand, fully water-saturated. When the next big earthquake hits, all that stuff will become fluid, and buildings will simply topple over, or sink into the muck. City of Vancouver is mostly on high ground, with bedrock below the soil and sand, and likely will survive, more or less.

Why not? They all wanted to declare war on Russia but were too pussified to do that and wanted the US to do it for them. Having been stymied in their first war, they seek a consolation war.

89 The whole town (and the airport) are built on a river delta island composed of peat and sand, fully water-saturated. When the next big earthquake hits, all that stuff will become fluid, and buildings will simply topple over, or sink into the muck. City of Vancouver is mostly on high ground, with bedrock below the soil and sand, and likely will survive, more or less.

That land was once incredibly productive farmland. Damned shame to see it covered by condos full of foreigners.

ONE SINGLE typo would cause your entire program to be ignored (and not run at all).

better were dropping your deck or forgetting to remove the rubber band before shoving them in the reader.

personally, i found that making a typo while punching a card made me mess up the next two or three cards as well.

🚨 BREAKING: Air Force One, which President Trump recently boarded to head to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, has suddenly TURNED AROUND and seems to be headed back to DC

It’s unclear why AF1 pulled a U-turn

190 Greetings, all. I'm sorry if this kind of hijacks the ONT but I saw this post from Wolfus this morning. Being on the west coast it seems I'm always late to the party.

"49 The 1932 The Most Dangerous Game w/ Joel McCrea and Fay Wray is coming up on Movies! at 5 am central. I know of it, but have never seen it. This would have been the year before Fay became famous for her turn in King Kong.

As for McCrea, he was a solid performer for several decades. His title role as "Sergeant Hook" with Barbara Stanwyck in the '50s is a great adaptation of the Jack Schaefer Western short story (which I admire tremendously), and he is perfectly cast."

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 20, 2026 05:13 AM (wzUl9)


Wolfus, if you like both these actors, check out Joel McCrea in "Barbary Coast", with Miriam Hopkins. He was in the early stages of his leading man development, but he takes over the screen. And, Fay Wray did a fabulous pre-code comedy called "They Met in a Taxi", with Chester Morris. A quintessential example of the "big mis" (misunderstanding) plot line. Just fun, snappy dialog.

OK, now going back to read the post.

Did Trump do anything to stop the BLM riots? How about the DC riots when he had to go into the bunker? Any arrests that led to convictions?

ICE agents being shot at (2x in Texas); attacked everywhere. White software engineers eating lunch are attacked by mobs thinking that they are ICE.

The J6 "riots" included people who never even entered into any buildings. The FBI hunted them down to the corners of the Earth. The FBI hunted down elderly Catholic women praying outside abortion clinics.

What is happening now, everyone agrees must be stopped before blood runs in the streets because the Left has no brakes, only accelerators.

We need to seriously consider the fact that Trump is comfortable with a hot civil war with thousands of casualties.

Its HIS track record.

244 The murderous vermin are talking over open comms about going after the families of ICE agents.

It isn't that the Left hates law enforcement, its just that the Left hates the idea that they can't use them to torment and incarcerate their enemies.

All the things they say that they are upset about ICE, pulling white people people over demanding their papers, following cars, tracking people, setting up dragnets, blowing their horns like police sirens - they are doing. They are blocking people, dragging them off while complaining about kidnapping, that is exactly what they are doing.

They act like police, judge, jury, executioner; have their own laws and civil codes - all the Cargo Cult elements of a tyrannical police state.

While Babylon DC winks as the Bolsheviks create break away territories.

All of government is either openly hostile to us or gives empty words and promises.

We are on our own. Get off the X. Consider where this is all going, and on April 15 and act accordingly.

Depends on how Trump is engaged. If Canada, or for that matter, a bunch of drunk gypsies decided to go kinetic, yes the US would lose if we relied on Trump to send in physical force.

But if it isn't kinetic and is about deals and palace intrigue, Trump sweeps the floor with all of them.

Then go south.

It's not like the Democrat governors of those states would do anything other than throw out the "red carpet," so to speak. They'd be halfway across the country before they ran into any resistance from actual Americans.

Here's my take from watching Trump. He has masterfully prepped the battlefield. He puts out the most outrageous demands and gets the response he wanted.

Now, he'll come back and offer a 100 year lease. The Euros can save a little face while we now can invest knowing regardless of what government may come, we have what we want from Greenland. We can invest in infrastructure for mining, etc. and finalize the missing piece of the Golden Dome. The Danes can probably wet their beak on the mining.

Also, the current residents can remain subjects of the Danish crown which has done so much for them. I assume they're all on the dole, so we won't have that expense. They said they wanted to remain subjects, so go and may God have mercy on your mercenary souls.

Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck”.

Business and capital investment depends on certainty. Reasonable certainty anyhow. Planning ten years out, one could reasonably predict interest rates would be in historical ranges. There wouldn’t have been a military coups and currency revaluation and sovereign debt default and all that bullshit.

As a consequence of all these things, and more, America drew top talent and money from around the globe. It ain’t rocket science. But government has become infested with cretins and idiots, and indeed rapacious financial entities “too big to fail” have achieved regulatory capture. The currency has turned to confetti.

Their latest little endeavor is to adjust for people who work from home, which has escalated. A lot of the people who left California moved just over the border to Nevada which has no State Income Tax. As they are working from home it would make sense to do so. California is still making them pay State Income Tax if they have the least little connection to California in the company they work for despite all their wages being paid to them in a separate state.

It always depends on Spring Rain here. If we get the rains in May/June, we are ok.

The Swing years, between El Nino and La Nina usually do this to the Intermountain West.

The good snow is east and south (of me) in those years.

We do usually get late snow into March/April on those years, though. So, there is still a bit of hope.

In Socialist Grifter Millionaire Paradise of Davos, Gavin Newsom Calls Upon World Leaders to Oppose the United States

Before getting to that: The EU is very bothered about Trump's drive to take Greenland.

Trump has threatened punishing tariffs against the EU for opposing his takeover of Greenland.

The European Union's top official did not hold back in her warnings about President Donald Trump's threat to impose fresh tariffs on countries opposing his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Trump's threats "a mistake" and questioned U.S. trustworthiness, saying that the EU-U.S. trade deal from July had to "mean something."

"Arctic security can only be achieved together. This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The EU and U.S. have agreed to a trade deal last July. And in politics as in business -- a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something," Von der Leyen said.


...

This woman routinely attempts to impose European anti-speech controls on US citizens by shellacking Elon Musk with fines.

We're not friends.


French President Emmanuel Macron also addressed the issue at Davos, saying the tariffs could force the EU to use its anti-coercion mechanism against the U.S. "for the very first time," The Associated Press reported.

All you do is coerce the US.

The outlet noted that he argued that allied countries should be focused on bringing peace to Ukraine and ending the nearly four-year war with Russia.

Then stop buying Russian oil.


Trump announced on Saturday that starting on Feb. 1, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands and Finland would face a 10% tariff on all goods imported to the U.S. The rate will then increase to 25% on June 1. The president added that "this tariff will be due and payable until such time as a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland."

...

Some European nations recently tried to flex their muscles with a brief troop deployment to Greenland. France, Germany, Sweden and Norway participated in a two-day exercise to bolster the Danish territory's defenses amid Trump's threats. Germany deployed a reconnaissance team of 13 personnel, France sent 15 mountain specialists and Sweden, Norway and Britain sent three, two and one officers, respectively, according to Reuters.


I continue not understanding Trump's fascination with Greenland. But when I hear our ungrateful EU enemies shrieking, my opposition to Trump's takeover decreases.

About that Russian oil the Europeans keep buying while pretending to support the Ukraine:


Scott Bessent wants to know why Europeans claim they're supporting Ukraine while they're arming Russia by buying Russian oil.

Barron Trump
@BarronTNews_

4h

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just went straight at Europe to their faces in Davos.

"Let's be clear. Europe is STILL buying Russian oil. Still. Four years later."

"They are literally financing the war against themselves."

Trump blasted the "foolish fortune-tellers" forever prophesizing climate doom.

Commerce Secretary Harold Luthwick blasts the WEF: "Globalism has failed." He assails the organization for endlessly pushing companies to "off-shore" and "far-shore" all of a country's jobs to foreign nations.

He blasts the EU for pushing for "net zero" climate policies when the entire continent doesn't even produce a single high-capacity battery. He says they're intentionally subjugating themselves to China, which does make such batteries.

Speaking of climate change: The Tech Elites at Davos are no longer talking much about it.


Many are pointing out that the leftwing tech communists used to propagandize endlessly about "climate change."

But their new grift, AI, requires huge amounts of power. So to keep making piles of money, they've all decided, simultaneously, to stop agitating about climate change and start talking up increasing energy production.

DataRepublican (small r)
@DataRepublican

AI requires massive amounts of energy.

The elites find AI useful.

Ergo, the elites abandoned renewables and climate change justice overnight.

DataRepublican (small r)
@DataRepublican

9h

WEF has almost entirely dropped its eat bugs climate change rhetoric in favor of putting AI in everything.

AI, AI, AI.

Still trying to figure out why.

@DataInterpretr

15m

All I saw were helicopters, rich folk 1 upping each other, and ads for AI with no purpose. What happened to Climate Change, WEF? Not profitable anymore?

As promised, Gavin Newsom is demanding that foreign countries oppose us and slap tariffs on American-made goods.

You know -- like a patriot.

On the EU tariffs,
I am really disappointed that Trump did not match their VAT.

VAT is an *export subsidy* as well as an import tariff. This is straight up mercantilism and Trump should be addressing that for starters.

If trade was fair between EU and USA, the only thing we would ever import from them would be artisanal cheeses and wine. Maybe some luxury goods made by Chinese in Italy.

Golden Dome and to prevent it from being used as a weapon against the US.

I also think it is to divorce ourselves from Euroland as they were struggling to get us into a shooting war with Russia over Ukraine.

Euroland does the same twostep that China does--Panda face and War face except via Nato and EU faces. So Trump is busy nuking all these multilateral international treaties and organizations that act against US interest (often being stabbed in the back by the EU as much as our adversaries like China or Russia).

Bringing things back to bilateralism means that the results are much more reciprocal than US takes it in the shorts every time.

I love the meme of Trump pretending to be a mullah to go to Greenland. The only thing I understand is a need for protection (I guess Iron Dome like Israel?) and keeping Russia and chy na's paws away from our continent. As well as the rare minerals.

After reading of the eugenics that Denmark did to the Inuits, I don't see why they'd be loyal to them. It was Margaret Sanger stuff, but decades later, in what was done to our Native Americans.

One lady said she could not have children because at some point someone inserted an IUD into her uterus. At another point she had pain (I guess from the IUD) and had her fallopian tubes removed.

They also live in apartments with black mold that are not well insulated and freezing cold. The very few jobs there (fishing) don't pay squat.

39 Greenland is smack dab in the middle of the shortest path between Russia and the United States (over the Arctic), so it's important for any potential missile defense to have control of that plot of land. Yes, Denmark is an ally and has given us carte blanche, but the same could be said of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean, which Britain let us use. However, this situation has now changed, as Britain turned over the Chagos to Mauritius because of white guilt. As Mauritius is fairly cozy with China, this will be a problem. We don't want that same thing happening much, much closer to home.

He is telling the world that we will never give up control.

"Oh, that's silly, Denmark is an ally. China will never take that land. China will not have influence. Why would anyone think China could make inroads on a strategic piece of land that is historically USA dominated?"

My response: Are you a f-ing idiot?
- UK handing Chagos to Mauritius -- Diego Garcia. We are about to lose access to that.

- Panama Canal -- We built it! but a year ago China controlled both ports so if there was a war, we would be denied access.

- Philippines!! -- They were a colony. They were allies. Then they invited in China and started handing them chunks of territory.

Nothing is settled until the entire world understands that USA is serious and will bomb their asses if we think they are about to turn on us. We have avoided that stance for too long.

95 I think the main concern the current administration has about Greenland relates to China, moreso than Russia. China is leveraging various countries that have claims to the Arctic (and all its resources). Take Norway, for example. China has made a big push to dominate the Norweigan market and actually put troops in Kirkenes. China named themselves a "Near Arctic State" it's a totally made up name by a country with no claims to the Arctic, but telegraphs their intentions. Chinese are, also, infiltrating Slavic energy companies relative to this goal.

China has a habit of ignoring boundaries, international laws and sovereignty. They plan on exploiting the Arctic in any way they can for petroleum, rare minerals, fishing etc. They feel they are entitled.

Greenland offers shipping routes and a base opportunity for these goals. Trump is correct to take contrary measures. Even if they are expensive.

Same as the welfare class that hates the police but can't quit getting a welfare check.

They used and abused the US and refused to revise (even had their flying monkeys in DC and interest groups) the old Cold War understanding. Constant backstabbing in diplomacy, constant reneging on NATO spending, stealing, regulating, and fining US companies to try to prop up their home industries, and tariffing and regulating the hell out of US imports while running trade surpluses for decades.

Frankly I don't care if they go commie or Muzzie but their value as allies to the US is approaching nil.

Lower than nil when they tried to get us to fight directly with Russia or provoke Russia by stealing all the frozen wealth to repay their banks and refill their treasuries.

What’s truly remarkable is how seamlessly AI-generated content now mirrors the nuance, clarity, and authenticity of human expression. At this point, the idea that someone could reliably tell whether a piece of writing was produced by AI or a person feels increasingly outdated. As technology continues to evolve, the real opportunity lies not in questioning the source of the content, but in embracing the possibilities it unlocks for collaboration, efficiency, and scalable impact.

Kosovo has an ancient coal power plant from the Yugoslavia days in desperate need of upgrade/replace.

How the tables have turned. Remember: international law and norms are just cover for powerful nations to coerce weak ones. Powerful nations will do whatever they need to, international law be damned.

I assume he's there as he's wanting some cred to be our next president. Which only a bubble head like he or Kam can dream about.

A bold stroke fit to bring our foes to knees.
With visions grand, unite the North and South,
Transform the frost to riches, cease all doubts.

In conquest lies the path to destiny!

To would make easier for us to tell China to pound sand. Or if we do enter a hot WW3, we really need to be the ones in control of that territory and not at the whim of the feckless EU. Maybe Trump knows something we don’t about the reality of that hot war.

With whom? From what I hear, there isn't any actual legal paperwork for the Danes to show legal ownership in the first place, nor is there much of a legal doctrine for them to use.

An obvious step to take is to establish Greenland as independent from Denmark first, anyway. It is literally Greenland's right at this point, according to Danish law.

The Globe and Mail (via a rando twitter link)

military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days.

Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics.

The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said.

At this point the happenings began to escalate. Eager to make an epic display of retardation demonstrate resolve and independence in the face of these sudden American ambitions on Danish territory, a variety of European countries announced they would send soldiers to Greenland in a display of “military solidarity” with Denmark. Germany sent a grand total of 13 or 15 soldiers (reports vary) to defend the icy island against the Americans. They departed on a matte grey A400M Atlas military transport with plenty of press on hand for photographs.

343 Here's Trump's calculus:

Greenland was called "Greenland" by the Viking because when they first discovered it during the Medieval Warm Period, the climate there wasn't so bad, and they could grow crops.

Later, things got cold again for a while, and they bailed out because it got too cold.

Trump figures: Either the Global Warming predictions will come true, or they won't.

If they come true, then by snagging Greenland he just acquired a huge amount of prime real estate back when it was undervalued.

If they don't com true, then the climate catastrophe cult will collapse and the US wins the long-term war anyway.

It's a win-win scenario, by betting on both sides.

Now, he'll come back and offer a 100 year lease. The Euros can save a little face while we now can invest knowing regardless of what government may come, we have what we want from Greenland. We can invest in infrastructure for mining, etc. and finalize the missing piece of the Golden Dome.

Also, the current residents can remain subject of the Danish crown which has done so much for them. I assume they're all on the dole, so we won't have that expense. They said they wanted to remain subjects, so go and may God forgive your souls.

=======
Mint is a nice take on Debian. Ubuntu has been pushing the boundaries lately to take on Arch installs with up to the date kernels, etc. If someone wants Ubuntu, go with the LTS versions and wait about six months until installing the latest LTS version after it becomes available. I've used Linux since about 2008-9 for my main internet computers and even using open office and now libre office suite for most needs.

Debian is becoming a much more viable option as well for the DIY sort.

Arch is a good OS but does require some user maintenance to fix issues from being at the cutting edge of kernels. BSD Unix is also seeing a revival lately but not for beginners.

I am a bit irritated for the RAM shortage as I was intending to build a new system to run OS in containers which would let me get rid of some hardware. Prefer at least 64 gig of ram to do that.

It's because without exclusive diktat over all of the affairs of Greenland, the Russians and the Chinese will continue to push for, and will eventually consummate, deals for their own presence on the island. And Trump WILL NOT have that.

There are no guarantees that Denmark nor Greenland could make which would prevent the Chinese & Russian movements into Greenland in perpetuity. That's why Trump wants full ownership of the place.

Of Course: Jihadist Muslim Antifa AG Keith Ellison Prosecuted Christians for Protesting Outside a Mosque Under the FACE Act, but Insists His Left-Wing Antifa Thug Buddies Have an Inviolable Right to Storm Christian Churches

Chuck Ross
@ChuckRossDC

ABOUT FACE:

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison has called for the use of the FACE Act to prosecute protests at mosques, according to @FreeBeacon
review.

Now, Ellison insists the FACE Act shouldn't apply to Don Lemon and comrades' storming of a church.

I should mention: the two mosque cases involved protesters *outside* the mosques.

Don Lemon and friends did their thing *inside* the church.

Chuck Ross at the Free Beacon:


'They're Getting Tender About a Church Service': Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Defends Left-Wing Agitators Who Stormed Minnesota Church

'None of us are immune from the voice of the public,' Ellison said in an interview with Don Lemon, who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting 'reconnaissance'

By saying he took the military action of "reconnaissance" before an action, Don Lemon again confesses to being a part of the church invasion, not just a disinterested "journalist" who just happened to have been there.


Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) defended the group of anti-ICE agitators who stormed a St. Paul church on Sunday, telling former CNN host Don Lemon--who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting "reconnaissance" ahead of the stunt--that critics of the incident were "getting tender about a church service."

Oh we're "tender"? We're pussies?

Well we'll see what happens when we storm a mosque. We'll see who's "tender" then.

...

The incident sparked a federal civil rights investigation and calls to arrest Lemon for his role in the ordeal. A defiant Lemon mocked the churchgoers on Monday, saying they had a sense of "entitlement" that stems from "a white supremacy." He also insisted he was at the protest as a journalist and not an activist, and that disrupting a church service is protected by the First Amendment.

Ellison agreed.

"I think that protest is fundamental to American society. You know, it's freedom of expression. People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. And none of us are immune from the voice of the public," Ellison told Lemon.

"They're getting tender about a church service now," added Ellison, who is Muslim.

Unrelated: The Bulwark -- created, allegedly, to "conserve conservatism" -- is having a banner day.

Bill Kristol says he can answer the question "Can a man become a woman?" easily -- yes they can, and he knows many trannies he considers to be women.

Extravagantly queer Tim Miller says that women shouldn't be bothered to see dicks in their locker rooms because he, too, sometimes sees dicks in locker rooms that he has no interest in. (Citation needed.)

And Mona Charen says that any NeverTrumpers who chose to support Trump anyway because elections are binary choices and the left is worse just have difficulty with thinking.

The left is pretty clear about this stuff.

When they have power they use it against their enemies. The church protestors are their people so of course Ellison is going to defend them.

I expect they will continue escalating in MN unless they are stopped. Yes Karen Deathwheels ate a bullet for attacking an ICE agent, but it looks like they feel they can ramp up the violence against non/off duty federal agents

The "seeing body parts you don't want to see" is MAINLY about children, which is why the buldykes are for it.

The other side is the "having my body parts seen by people who are getting a sexual kick out of it" which is similarly important.

Which part they are studiously ignoring.

Stares openmouthed. If it has no bearing on policy, why are you supporting men in women's locker rooms and bathrooms? Why do you insist that men be allowed to mingle naked with adolescent and younger girls? Why are you demanding that we put trannies in the military? despite the fact that putting manifestly undeployable people in the military will get people killed. The whole POINT of the argument is that it harms other people, you fatuous twat.

49 "disrupting a church service is protected by the First Amendment."

Did this dickhead get his degree from a cereal box? NO. That is the unequivocal legal answer. Churches are private property, individual congregations are permitted to set and enforce conduct rules, remove violators, and contact law enforcement for assistance. There is no constitutional right to protest a private religious assembly. In the 1972 case Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that just because an establishment is open to the public does not mean it automatically becomes a public forum. Forty years later, in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC, the high court again emphasized the autonomy of religious institutions.

This is settled, black letter law. No grey area. Every one of those protesters should be prosecuted, should be convicted, and face years in jail. Every single one. Including Don Lemon.

I do empathize with what I'm sure are the good and decent people of the state, but at some point you have to look at a population of people and tell them to get their heads out of their asses and take their city/county/state/national government back themselves.

I am pretty much at the point where I see massive Federal intervention in Minnesota/Minneapolis the same as I see us putting boots on the ground in Iran. On the one hand the powers in place are shit and the people are being repressed, but at the same time...you fucking voted for this shit, dumbasses.

147 I saw a map of the North pole and the countries there, and it showed the likely spots from which Russia might launch a missile to attack US soil. Especially if it launched a missile at DC.

The base at Greenland is about halfway between us and Russia, and we would be able to launch counter missiles and cut them off before it even gets close to US soil. Like our own Iron Tundra Dome.

After seeing that map I said ah, I get it. And that doesn't even include the potentially valuable Arctic Sea shipping routes, or the rare minerals connected to Greenland.

192 Ratification of the Louisiana Treaty, from Monticello.org:

"...The purchase treaty had to be ratified by the end of October, which gave Jefferson and his Cabinet time to deliberate the issues of boundaries and constitutionality. Exact boundaries would have to be negotiated with Spain and England and so would not be set for several years, and Jefferson's Cabinet members argued that the constitutional amendment he proposed was not necessary. As time for ratification of the purchase treaty grew short, Jefferson accepted his Cabinet's counsel and rationalized: "it is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; & saying to him when of age, I did this for your good...

...The Senate ratified the treaty on October 20 by a vote of 24 to 7. Spain, upset by the sale but without the military power to block it, formally returned Louisiana to France on November 30. France officially transferred the territory to the Americans on December 20, and the United States took formal possession on December 30...his belief that the affair of Louisiana would impact upon "their highest destinies" proved prophetic indeed."

All the Bulwark types are in the outer darkness of DC, the Democrats view them as pariahs and the GOPe friendz they have left don't want to be seen with them. So no invites to DC parties, no invites to various NGO conferences, etc.

Their social standing is that of elevator operators in DC. Most women feel the loss of social status far more than most men. It feels personal to them.

Say what you will about Putin, but he saved his country post-communism,

The average life expectancy of a Russian male in the early 90's dipped below 60 years, and the rates of alcoholism and drug overdose were through the roof.

That life expectancy has increased by more than 10 years and while still high, there have been drastic reductions in alcohol and drug related mortality.

301 Not many people know this but when the left write anything, they use a special font. It is identical to most normal fonts with one specific difference. If you were to examine the 'dots', periods, the dot of an exclamation point, even question marks, under an electron microscope, you would see the 'dot' is NOT solid. There is a tiny circle in the center of the dot and inside the circle, the three letters, "EFM". These three letter represent the word "Except for Me". And these allow any leftist to exempt themselves from any rules, principles, or demands they care to make. While they do not explicitly say or write the words, everything they say or write is implied to end with "Except for Me!"
So when Don Lemon or Keith Ellison prattle on about civil rights, each of their statements should be read as ending with "Except for Me". Then it all begins to make sense.

Trump's One Year Anniversary: Many Successes, Many Promises Kept

Trump took office one year ago, January 20, 2025.

Amanda Head of Just the News notes some of the big success.


Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump's return to office for his second term, and the country is nearly unrecognizable from the way it looked under his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate right now is at roughly 6.02%, down from about 7.04% a year ago in January, when Biden was still in office. However, that's three-quarters of a point down from the rate in October of 2023, when the 30-year fixed mortgage rate reached 7.79%. Average rates were roughly 2.5 times higher than when Biden took over following Trump's first term.

...

Gas prices cratering

As of January 2026, the national average price for regular gasoline is roughly $2.82 a gallon, down from around $3.08 in January 2025 under the end of the Biden administration.

The highest national average gas price during the Biden presidency skyrocketed to roughly $5.02 a gallon in June 2022, driven largely by self-inflicted refining capacity constraints.

...

Egg-cellent prices

Right now, the national average retail price for a dozen Grade A large eggs is about $2.71, down from around $4.15 in January 2025 at the end of the Biden administration.

The highest egg prices under Biden hit roughly $4.82 per dozen, in early 2023, and spiked again in 2025 (reaching $8.17 in some retail locations in March) mainly due to avian flu outbreaks that forced massive flock culling.

...

Bidenflation no more

The annual U.S. inflation rate (taken from the federal government's monthly Consumer Price Index report) now sits at 2.7% for the 12 months ending December 2025, unchanged from the prior month and down from around 3% at the end of Biden's term in January 2025.

In what came to be known as Bidenflation, the highest rate during the Biden presidency peaked at 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022, the highest in over 40 years, with cumulative inflation totaling a staggering 21.5%.

...


GDP growth

The latest BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) numbers show real domestic Gross Domestic Product grew at a solid 4.3% annualized pace in the third quarter of 2025 (July--September), and the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow is now pointing to roughly 5.3% for the fourth quarter of 2025 -- up substantially from the roughly 2.4% annualized growth in fourth-quarter 2024 toward the end of the Biden administration.

...

Trump closes out his first year with border crossings down 95%.

This drop includes the illegal-alien population, which fell by an estimated 576,000 amid over 622,000 reported deportations and reports of 1.9 million self-deportations.

Under Biden's administration, the foreign-born population grew to a peak of 53.3 million by January 2025. The illegal-alien population reached a record 14 million in 2023 before beginning to stabilize or slightly decline in late 2024, contrasting with the sharp contraction in 2025 as Biden-era deportations focused more on border encounters rather than interior enforcement.

More at the link, including the peace deals.

Which brings me to a point of dissatisfaction: Trump might just have decided that Obama Was Right to Spare the Mullahs and Protect the Ayatollah.

I don't know if this is true -- the USS Abraham Lincoln is still four days away (I think) from Iran -- but it looks like he's selling out the Iranian protesters he urged to take to the streets and "TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!"

If [leftwing critics]had been right this time [that Trump is a warmonger], we'd now be hearing Trump give the command for "bombs away" over Tehran.

Instead, there he was on the White House lawn Friday afternoon, pointedly thanking the mullahs for not following through on their vow to execute hundreds of political prisoners rounded up in the protests.

"Iran canceled the hanging of over 800 people," Trump said, adding that he "greatly respected" the move.

To those with an honest and open mind, the week's roller coaster ride illustrated how Trump's fondness for talking about America's military might is often purposeful sword-rattling.

The bluster, this time and often, serves as an invitation to negotiations or is so persuasive that he gets most of what he wants without having to fire a shot.

'I convinced myself'

As the week began, the scenes in Iran looked like a five-alarm fire.

With the mullahs slaughtering their own citizens for the crime of protesting a collapsing economy, the calls for America to stop it grew louder, and Trump was game.

He gave every indication that our military was locked, loaded and ready to go.

In a bristling Tuesday post on Truth Social, he sounded prepared to take action with his promise to the brave demonstrators that "help is on its way."

"KEEP PROTESTING -- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!."

He urged those in the streets, adding, "Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price."

Within 24 hours, he pulled back and explained the move by saying "very important sources" told him Iran had stopped killing protesters and was not moving forward with mass executions.

It's not clear where he got that information, but so far it has been largely accurate.

Additionally, reports surfaced that Trump was hearing warnings from our regional allies, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Turkey, that hitting Iran could ignite a much bigger war because of counterattacks by Iran and its heavily armed terror allies, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.

Some warnings raised the possibility of an Iranian civil war that could unleash a flood of refugees.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also asked Trump to postpone any attack so Israel would have more time to prepare for the likelihood that it would be a target of Iranian retaliation.

On Friday, Trump rebuffed the chatter that pressure from foreign leaders led him to pull back.

"Nobody convinced me. I convinced myself," he told reporters.

He also added that the regime's canceling of executions "had a big impact" on his decision.

The Wall Street Journal added two other factors.

First, military advisers told the president the US must beef up its resources in the region to carry out a significant attack and also protect our troops and allies.

The second reason was that Trump was told that a military attack probably would not topple the Islamic regime but would result in stepped-up brutality against demonstrators.

The upshot is that Trump's decision to hold off on a military strike was clearly the right and prudent call, at least for now.

Another reason? He keeps meeting with the sinister Islamist Tucker Carlson.

Does Trump know that Tucker Carlson keeps claiming that Netanyahu "controls" him?


Grok
@grok

After reviewing the video and multiple sources, Tucker Carlson claims Netanyahu privately told people he controls the US and Trump, based on unnamed sources Tucker spoke to. No verifiable public records or direct quotes from Netanyahu confirm this. Netanyahu denied similar claims

I'm still hoping that Trump is making pacifist noises just to encourage the Iranians to stop the mass slaughter of civilians. I hope he's playing them, to give the protesters time until US forces are gathered and ready to strike.

But I kind of doubt that. I think the sinister Islamist Tucker Carlson has once again tricked Trump into pursuing the Carlson Foreign Policy rather than the Trump Foreign Policy we actually voted for.

The latest BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) numbers show real domestic Gross Domestic Product grew at a solid 4.3% annualized pace in the third quarter of 2025 (July--September), and the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow is now pointing to roughly 5.3% for the fourth quarter of 2025 -- up substantially from the roughly 2.4% annualized growth in fourth-quarter 2024 toward the end of the Biden administration.

=======

It's a point to consider that if you remove government spending, we haven't had positive GDP growth since 2007.

Will late 2025 buck that trend? End the actual nearly 20 year depression that we've been in?

Fingers crossed!

25 I was listenting to our chatty Prez. while driving. I don't know if he was embellishing or not, but he said he think he can get growth of the economy well above the projected 5% in the fourth quarter. He thinks that the 4th quarter will not only exceed 5%, he thinks sometime next year we will approach 20%.....and then added the caveat, provided the Fed doesn't try to continue to sabotage it. He then went into a diatribe about how in the old days the Fed used to lower or sit on interest rates even (and especially) during a prosperous time, to make it that much more strong.

Also, are the regional "partners" going to actually step to the United States if we do a powerful decapitation strike? They didn't do jack squat when we took out their nuke facilities and killed the top echelon of their leaders.

53 We spent months observing Maduro's habits, built a mock up of his bunker and rehearsed everything thousands of times. That little op was pretty fucking impressive.

Iran is a thousand times more difficult. We don't know where the mullahs are at every time of day/night. We don't know who among these "freedom loving Iranians" are actually Islamic assholes with weapons and a desire to kill. We don't have eyes on the thousands of ballistic missiles still a threat, and we certainly don't know who's got the proverbial keys to them.

If/when all that's sorted out and if the situation still warrants "action" I think we'll see "action."

66 There are good reasons to hold off on a full attack on Iran, even though I want them to fall as much or more than anyone here.
First: air strikes alone will not topple that regime. With all this warning, the top people will all be in deep bunkers; maybe we know where they are, maybe not, but Iran is a huge country.
Also: the military and paramilitary forces are dispersed to the cities; to hit them now requires hitting the cities, not just their bases.
And most of all - we do not have a good "casus belli", a strong legal justification for launching an attack, which if we're honest means starting a war at least as big as the war against Saddam. I think we could win, but this is going to be a hell of a lot longer and messier than any of us would like to think.

so what should we do?

We don't have Russiagate and his crew did a better job of cutting out deep staters, but the swamp is still there and this inaction on Dem rioters, Dem politicians fomenting it, no accountability from the 2020 elections or COVID or Summer of Love or conservative blacklisting or autopen, but keep telling us to wait for it...

That would actually be a big win for us, since that would give us our casus belli.
after that, the best we can do is covert ops to weaken the regime, while at the same time they wither due to the complete collapse of their financial sector. Opportunities will arise in various places. Perhaps weapons can be smuggled in. Wait for the enemy to make a big mistake.

Iran is like the 3rd Reich in the spring of 1945; they're on the way down, but they can still cause a hell of a lot of death and mayhem on the way their.

100 Tucker is a big fan of Maduro, claims he is THE champion of the western anti-gay marriage movement, and Trump still took him down. I don't think Tucker is controlling Trump anymore than Netanyahu or Putin.

I think Trump knows he's not the omnipotent King of the World and while he wants to help where he can not at the risk of hurting America or our interests. Perhaps we didn't have the assets prepared or he was warned that the thousands of jihadists Biden let into the US would hit back or maybe we just couldn't do much to hurt the mullahs without boots on the ground. Could be a lot of things but I don't think he listens to anyone enough to be swayed by an argument about evil Jews taking the world and I really don't think Tucker has much influence at all.

I suspected this with Venezuela, and a couple days ago he mentioned it briefly that he did not want to "fire everyone" for a regime change because that is what the "very stupid people" did with Iraq and we were left with a mess.

So it comes down to figuring out a path for debathification -- or demullahization -- that does not lead to chaos. That is a tough nut.

And the interesting thing is you can break it down by departments where say Rubio or Bessent have been VERY successful and other like Bondi not as much.

Yes, before the discussion goes down that path there are different levels of challenge in different departments.

But, here is my metric for what Trump needs to do THIS year to be successful:

1) The economy is seen as strong by the end of the summer - this will have a major impact in how people vote in Nov
2) At least one national level Democrat has to be charged with something that will stick
3) At least one funder/leader of one of the larger NGOs has to be charged with something that will stick
4) RFK needs to get a criminal or civil complaint around the clot shot crap to hit someone at Pfizer, Moderna, or Fauci's minions

Comparing Iran to Iraq is disingenuous. There was no insurgency in Iraq, let alone a full-blown revolution. Iran is infiltrated by Israeli intelligence, with the willing support of a huge number of Iranians, including some in the military.

That's not necessarily good.
In 1916, Ludendorff accurately diagnosed the Kaiser Wilhelm as a moron and took over the economy from him. There was still a Kaiser, but he wasn't making decisions.
If Khamanei is a figurehead, and at 86 years old he assuredly is, that means the decisions are being made by the Sepah ("Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps") and the Basij. That is, by the thugs who really fucking hate westerners, as opposed to pretending to.

Yeah, I strongly doubt Tucker has any actual influence, and they may well be deliberately feeding him things to scare Qatar and the mullahs.

The report I saw on X was that the Tuesday Iranian strike was called off because Mossad believed the mullahs were going to stuff uranium in rockets and fire them off willy-nilly as sort of ad-hoc dirty bomb. So if you think that's coming it's a good idea to have the big guns nearby and Iron Dome at full readiness.

Nobody was a bigger proponent of the Iraq war than Tucker. He pushed it relentlessly until things started going pear shaped.

He seems to have done a 180 but there is no doubt he constantly pushes the idea that the evil Jew are secretly running the war and dragging us into endless wars while backing terrorist supporting countries like Qatar. It's not some evil neo-con conspiracy, it's Tucker's own words.

Its not so much that Islam creates that situation - that is the natural situation. Yes, Islam exacerbates it but the more interesting part is that Christianity (and Judaism) provide an alternative without an authoritarian government

This is something of minor complaint I suppose - functionally if Iran converted to Christianity in mass it would almost certainly liberate as well...but if the Eu-nicks got their wish in Iran and somewhat secularized it you would just see a different authoritarian regime - similiar to Hussien's in Iraq.

That's apparently the word coming out of Iran... from the public there. They say Islam was more or less "forced upon them" by the mullahs.

Yet, there are many Iranians who've grown up knowing nothing but the Iranian flavor of Islam. Many of those people still embrace it. If we topple the existing government I'm not convinced another, equally virulent strain of Islamic rule won't just take its place.

Senate races create presidential levels of turnout in the states they happen. So, those states are going to see near 2024 levels that prevents surprising upsets.

Collins is going to win ME easily. Whomever wins the TX GOP primary is going to win the race by about 10 points.

NC probably trends towards the GOP now because the PVI trend in the state has gone so Republican over the last decade. Just ask Hogan in MD how being a "popular" former governor of a state with a different PVI than you loves you for a federal race.

GA could go GOP depending on how much Atlanta keeps shrinking relative to the rest of the state, but I'm not sure I'd put money on that.

In terms of the House...gerrymandering from 20 is so baked in that a wave election is like 20 seats, and the generic ballot right now is nothing like 2018.

Tucker's principle sin is that he did an interview with some guest who quoted a book that suggested that aligning with the UK and Russia against Germany was probably not the smartest move ever, and that it would have been about the same or better outcome if we had aligned with a UK that had joined Germany in defeating the USSR instead.

All of which is alternative history fiction unless you want to start questioning the neocon stance on international politics.

Again, Trump and the team arranged to go after drug boats in the Caribbean. They went through a whole elaborate farce, for three months. Meanwhile they constructed a replica of Maderno's palace and trained relentlessly. When they were ready, after denying they were ever going to invade, they swooped in and took Madurno.

If you look at the last year, there has been a systemic dismantling of the threat Iran poses. Their nuclear capability and most of their missiles are gone. Houthis Hezbollah and Hamas are on the ropes. I don't *think* Trump is going to let this chance go to waste.

There is also China, who desperately needs Iranian oils, and is one of the only buyers. Trump also badly embarrassed them in Venezuela. Maybe they are trying to wave him off.

I just don't know - Trump has shown that long term strategic planning, including multiple fake-outs, is part of his repertoire.

They have all been ruthlessly killed or left the country. The Shah in exile would only be a figure head. Who would actually run the govt? The military, largely loyal to the mullahs?

About 70% of the Iranians, they say, are secular, and some are actual Zoroastrians. Christianity is growing apace. And thousands of the mosques were closed over these 47 years because of waning attendance.

314 LOL, the UK government funded and created a video game called Pathways that was propaganda to teach kids about extremism. Amelia is one of the extremists who is anti-immigration.

Here's a short video on the topic:

It's an AI produced video that inserts Amelia into beloved UK intellectual properties like Harry Potter, Wallace and Gromit, and Paddington Bear. It's very well done.

316 I've been saying since Trump started insinuating himself in this that he shouldn't have done it.

Just standing back, and perhaps lending some covert assistance to the protesters had no downside. If the protests succeed, the mullahs fall, great. Everybody's better off. If they fail, WGAF? The status quo of an Iran without nukes persists, with an even further weakened regime.

Now, we have no good options. Trump can intervene militarily as he promised, and piss off a ton of his voters, and initiate a lengthy, ugly power struggle for control of west/central Asia - one that we will probably lose under some future President.

That sucks, but the VERY WORST option - the one we're talking about here - is a negotiation that ends up preserving the regime. It would be an open betrayal of the insurgents he told to flood the streets. The reprisals will be far worse than if he'd said nothing. And the world will look on and see a paper tiger. Trump's leverage over the world's leaders he loves to challenge will be greatly reduced.

Anyone advising that needs to be fitted for a dunce cap.

Trump is stalling for time. He's playing a delaying game so that Iran stops shooting while he gets more forces in theater.

It's kind of obvious, and he's only run this play many, many times.

Reminds me of Obama's second election, oddly enough. I remember none other than Megyn Kelly saying in effect, "Yeah, sure, it's not surprising at all that an election district of 10,000 people would vote 100% for Barak Obama". With a straight face.

I remember thinking, "Even in Iraq, where if you didn't vote for Saddam Hussein there was a good chance that they would come to your house and rape your wife, beat you, and maybe even KILL you, he would only get about 95%." But she's going to tell me that EVERY SINGLE person in that district is black, and pro-Obama. Not a SINGLE white person voting for Romney, or God forbid, a black person voting for him, even if just to be a wise guy.

Well, she was just reading a script anyway.

Surprising Few, Ohio Immigration Judges Can Be Bribed

You don't say.

In exclusive footage obtained by Townhall, evidence has emerged suggesting that migrants from the West African nation of Mauritania are exploiting the U.S. immigration and asylum system in Lockland, Ohio, raising serious questions about the integrity and oversight of the process.
Advertisement

The footage includes allegations that some migrants are being coached on how to navigate the asylum system, encouraged to fabricate claims to meet legal thresholds, and informed -- according to sources on the ground -- that favorable rulings can be secured through illicit means. These claims point to systemic vulnerabilities that make the immigration system susceptible to abuse and corruption.

At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business. Golder says she takes a portion of the pay given to the Mauritanian migrants in exchange for helping them navigate the system, and she claims she can bribe judges to rule in the migrants' favor. The footage also suggests that many of the migrants involved neither embrace nor intend to adopt core American values, even as they access public resources designed to protect legitimate asylum seekers.

In the 26-minute video, the undercover reporter is introduced to Golder by one of Golder's friends, identified as Cindy Reis, who says Golder helps Mauritanian migrants get their papers.

"She gets them their papers. She does," Reis says before introducing the reporter to Golder. "He knows about Mulberry Street."

"I try to work with them the best I can," Golder says.

"You know, we were talking about maybe getting them some work," the reporter tells Golder

"Yeah, that's what I'm going to do," Golder replies.

"And then the question is, do they have papers or not?" the reporter asks.

"Some of them have papers, some don't," Golder says. For those that don't have paperwork, Golder adds, "we pay them cash."

"And then, we can make an authorization where you say they volunteer, and you pay them," Golder says.<

Golder says that to get migrants work at big companies, she has to sign for them. But Golder declines to name the companies.

"I have to say I can't do that...that's because of the threat of ICE, so they don't want me to leak, because ICE would go there and take them away. ICE don't play," Golder says.

Golder and Reis know they're working with illegals.

"You gotta work under the radar," Reis tells the reporter.

2 plead guilty in scheme to bribe DMV employees to issue commercial driver's licenses -- 4 others charged
DMV employees altered records to show individuals had passed driving tests

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Two defendants, including a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) employee, pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges stemming from a scheme to sell commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to buyers who never took the required tests.

In addition to Tuesday's guilty pleas, four more individuals, including two other DMV workers, were charged in a 17‑count indictment unsealed Friday. The charges stem from separate but related probes conducted by the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the California Department of Motor Vehicles' Investigations Division, Office of Internal Affairs.

Google AI's digest:

Numerous cases of illegal alien driver's license bribe schemes involving DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) employees have been exposed across the United States. Recent investigations in states like Kentucky and Florida in 2025 highlight that this is an ongoing issue involving corruption, bribery, and the fraudulent issuance of identification documents.

Details of the Schemes

Bribery: DMV employees and third parties (like driving schools or immigration services companies) have been found to accept cash payments in exchange for illegally processing driver's licenses. Bribes have reportedly ranged from a couple of hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars per license.

Bypassing Requirements: In many cases, the fraudulent schemes involved bypassing essential requirements such as written tests, driving exams, vision tests, and necessary immigration status screenings. Employees would falsify records or use shared logins to process applications without the proper documentation or procedures.

Targeting: The individuals seeking the fraudulent licenses were often undocumented immigrants who needed valid identification for employment or other purposes.

Widespread Impact: These schemes have resulted in hundreds, sometimes thousands, of fraudulent licenses being issued.

Consequences: The schemes have led to numerous arrests and convictions of both DMV employees and the individuals who paid for the fraudulent licenses. Those involved face serious federal felony charges, including bribery, conspiracy, identity theft, and forgery, with potential prison sentences and substantial fines. Licenses issued fraudulently are subject to revocation.

Recent Investigations (2025)

Kentucky: Whistleblower lawsuits and investigations revealed an alleged scheme where temporary workers in regional offices were selling licenses for around $200 each to undocumented immigrants, often bypassing the Homeland Security screening process.

Florida: Eight individuals, including two DMV employees, were arrested in Bay County for a "driver's license for cash" scheme. Investigators seized over $120,000 in illicit proceeds and believe hundreds or more fraudulent licenses were issued over a two-year period.

New York: Multiple DMV employees and a driving school were implicated in a scheme to sell fraudulent licenses, sometimes for up to $2,000, to Chinese immigrants who were not required to take or pass the necessary tests.

It is (I think) fairly common for these scammers to claim some kind of special power with the system as a way to justify their vig.

So she just works the system using lies, coaching, and fake stories to tell the courts. But she claims she is bribing them because that now makes her operation exclusive. In truth it is just incompetent and lax and she is exploiting the weaknesses.

If she told them that, she would be replaced by a brown skinned coach telling a different set of lies.

2. Political power. Somali grundles took over the entire political machine in MN in less than 20 years. Hispanics did the same in CA and blue cities through the south.

3. Saying "fuck you" to America. Leftists hate our country and want to see it burn. Inviting in hordes of human blattodea helps that cause.

So she just works the system using lies, coaching, and fake stories to tell the courts. But she claims she is bribing them because that now makes her operation exclusive. In truth it is just incompetent and lax and she is exploiting the weaknesses. ...

75 In one of Dinesh's documentaries, he talked about how one of the best things about moving to America was that it didn't have the inherent bureaucracy of corruption that he fled from in India. You didn't have to grease a lot of palms, you didn't have to know a guy or a cousin in this or that office to get your paperwork processed. You could rise on both merit, and on the system's nonjudgmental wheels turning as they should, equal for everyone.

It seems like in the decades since he got here, America's bureaucracy is desperate to import what he fled from, and turn all of it into the third world. It's horrifying to see just how bad the rot has gotten!

I know a guy. Senior citizen. Green card holder. Not a citizen. Been here for over 50 years. Military tour in Vietnam. No birth certificate (came from a war torn country).
Also has light to moderate alzheimers disease.

Went to the DMV in person to get his drivers license renewed. (Standard license) Walked out with a REAL ID. (the federal one good for flying).

That guy went in there with none of the requirements for proving his address and identity. None. Just had his expiring regular drivers license. Remember, he has alzheimer disease.

Best guess? DMV employee just said to herself, "Give the migrant the REAL ID. Screw the regs."

Now, this guy had no intent of fraud. Loves America. Also doesn't need a REAL ID. Has no idea what a REAL ID is. Alzheimers, remember. And he walked out with a federal REAL ID.

I'm not sure what kind of judicial corruption the founding fathers were saddled with in their day, but I'm grateful they set up a system of trial by jury. It's not perfect, but the alternate is one judge deciding your fate...and you have to hope they aren't biased or being paid off to rule a certain way. With our modern judiciary, that would be terrifying.

The sleaziest are the lawyers.
After the 80s amnesty, they all made millions on those cases, charging what they could from the illegals trying to get legit.

Then when that dried up they became a massive lobby for another amnesty or some legislation that they could milk. We are talking hundreds of firms, thousands of lawyers, all trying to get the politicians to pass a law where they could make millions each again.
I think that was the momentum behind the shift where Dems kept calling for different forms of amnesty and exceptions.

Kentucky: Whistleblower lawsuits and investigations revealed an alleged scheme where temporary workers in regional offices were selling licenses for around $200 each to undocumented immigrants, often bypassing the Homeland Security screening process.

-------------
It wasn't only temporary workers, it was state workers too. And they were selling RealID's as well.

The security/documentation threshold for those illegals seeking one is significantly lower than it is for an American citizen. Two pieces of paper from an embassy will do it. And those were being forged too.

"Duffy says 'time’s up' for Newsom as feds withhold $160M over illegal trucking licenses"

Excerpt:

"The Trump administration is withholding roughly $160 million in federal transportation funding from California beginning in fiscal year 2027, after the state failed to revoke more than 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) that federal regulators say were unlawfully issued in violation of federal safety rules by a federally agreed-upon deadline, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday."

There's another form of Amazon money laundering I have seen, which is a real product with an odd description and a wildly-inflated price.

For example, I was once looking at optical components for a network switch. The product name was a full technical description of the product, with a price of $35,000. It was an $800 part. I suspect that this is just straight-up money laundering. If there's an audit, the auditor's eyes will glaze over and he will say, "yup, super expensive high-tech shit." If a demand for the part is made, it can be furnished easily enough. They probably even ship the part when purchased at 40x its value.

That reminds me... I've been enjoying the TV show "For All Mankind." Speculative fiction of what if Russia had landed on the moon first, and we'd kept on with the space race. The Elon Musk guy who has a private space company, versus the Russians, versus the Koreans, versus NASA, is interesting. Occasionally it's woke, but it is willing to not pull punches on the plotline and killing off people! (Oh, and the president is a closeted female republican.) We landed people on Mars in the 90s...if only!

They tried to pull a coup against the Elon Musk guy in season 3, I'm going to see how that plays out in season 4. And then season 5 comes out this year.

More like, "I'm a conservative stirring shit. So, I'll cross some leftist wires. 1. The regime is totalitarian. 2. We need guns to defend from totalitarianism. Therefore, Newsom isn't a real fighter because he's not allowing open carry to fight the regime."

It also includes foreign powers like the Chinese who share interests with the Democrats and want to see that agenda which is crushing their country, disappear. They are the financiers of a great deal of this activity since this administration started cleaning up all the fraud and loose ends that were pumping this money back into Democrats coffers.

These are very perilous times for our country, especially since Congress has done absolutely zero to address the widespread election fraud. Virginia was clearly just stolen and the legislature, as their first order of business, is ensuring nobody will ever uncover what they did. That’s because it’s a model for the upcoming midterms.

266 Heh. I was researching the etymology of the name "Shapiro" on Wikipedia yesterday. Turns out, it's a form of "Speyer," a city in Germany that once had a large Jewish population.

Some Jews from there also just used "Speyer" as a surname. Didn't mention whether Gentiles used it, too

My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Speyer. So maybe I've got some Jewish ancestry?

I happened to be parked right outside a drug treatment center. In less than 30 minutes no fewer than three people stumbled out of that place....walked head first right into the same tree, and proceeded to fall in the snow. Better than Netflix.

VIRGINIA DEMS' FIRST MOVE WITH NEW MAJORITY: BAN HAND-COUNTING BALLOTS

Forty-eight hours. That's all it took.

Virginia's new Democratic majority introduced HB968, forcing machine-readable ballots through scanners and prohibiting hand counts "for any reason" unless explicitly allowed by law.

Hand counts are impossible to hack remotely and easy for anyone to watch.

When half the country already questions election integrity, why rush to eliminate the most transparent backup method?

355 Per the Globe and Mail

“military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days.

Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics.

The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said"

Jonathan Turley: Gay Sexual Assaulter Don Lemon Is Talking Himself Into a Prison Sentence

A lot of crimes turn on mental state -- "intent." James Comey can tell you all about that. He reads "intent" requirements into laws that don't have it, like the Espionage Act.

Many times, you can take prohibited actions but not be chargeable with a crime because you didn't have the specified mental state.

Don Lemon obviously did invade a church. The question is: Did he intend to traumatize them? Did he intend to impede their civil rights through threat or force?

Did he show animus against their religion?

Don Lemon is yet another 70 IQ DEI disaster, like Candace Owens, who thinks he's smart because he's been awarded Participation Trophy after Participation Trophy.

Legal analyst Jonathan Turley urges him to shut his mouth, because he's on a media tour in which he satisfies each and every requirement of the crime out of his own cocksucker.


Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

Don Lemon did his best to perfect the case against the protesters in the Minneapolis Church as targeting the congregants over their faith. In what sounds like a pitch for prosecution under the FACE Act, Lemon zeroed in on the religious values of the congregants in a new tirade...

In other words, he makes it clear he is targeting the church because he hates their religious views. Not just intent, but animus.


Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

16h

...The former CNN host dismissed criticism for storming a church gathering, explaining "I think people who are, you know, in the religious groups like that, it's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they're entitled, and that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a White supremacy"...

Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

16h

...This follows organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, who leads the local Racial Justice Network, is declaring that the churchgoers "need to check their theology and the need to check their hearts."...

Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

16h

...Lemon and Armstrong are playing directly into the language of the FACE Act, which "prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to ... exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship."


Church-goers will start bringing guns to church, and if they shoot violent disruptors, they'll be able to plead they legitimately feared for their lives:

======

I don't know if we have confirmation of that, but it's at a minimum a solid assumption of the internal, low-level messaging.

"They can only fire rubber bullets and they can't arrest you anyway because ICE has no arresting authority over crimes they witness that aren't done by illegal immigrants. Don't worry, Minneapolis PD won't arrest you, so you are cleared to do anything short of assault, and DHS can't touch you."

The left needs the ICE agent to be charged with...something. That the city hasn't even done anything is probably discouraging to them.

68 Last night we were watching Indiana beat the Miami thugs. I saw a ref who looked like Lemon (or Limón). I said, I think Don Lemon is a ref now and left MN as a protestor of church! He's everywhere, man!

I love that black lady with braids. When they speak the truth, get out of their way (I had one in my life growing up and never wanted her wrath). She also called him a FAGA, which is perfection. Black people in general are not fond of gheys, lesbians or trans.

I hope Limón finds himself in a gen pop party to get his eternal angst finally out of his system. We get it, you don't like white people.

We also know you are a narcissist who wants attention, Don. I guess your husband is not enough, nor your money, nor your faggoty activities. You are still bitter about the handsy lawsuit that took you off the air.I think he is a white man, who complained about your hands down his pants in a bar.

It is going to take more than your large nerd glasses to make anyone care what you do or think. Stand down.

This philosophy ends in blood. Lots of blood. After the January 7 bloodbath, leftists were angry with anyone who tried to argue Jews did not deserve it. To them, the Jews have long since proven they are oppressors and ANY ACTION taken against them is justified.

Lemon is doing the same thing with the parishioners of this church. They are "white supremacists" which puts them in the oppressor category. Once you are in that category, ANY ACTION taken against them is justified.

110 You can confess to crimes all day long if:

a. The state win't charge you because it supports your crime;

b. The feds won't charge you because they are sad limpdicks;

c. The judge in either venue is likely to be rooting for you;

d. The jury in either venue is likely to be hung at best; and/or

e. No one is willing to dish out the punishment deserved extrajudicially.

C, D, and E basically seal the deal here.

And for "the process is the punishment" crowd, it isn't if a "legal defense fund" picks up the tab and you get a book deal out of it.

The only way any of this gets fixed is if they murder or nearly murder someone or start burning stuff down and the Insurrection Act is invoked.

The Boycott: Why truckers are saying "No More" to California
The truckers' boycott against California is a response to the state's "Green Diesel" mandates, which have effectively banned 70% of the trucking fleet. This has led to a significant disruption in the supply chain, with reports of food rotting in the Port of Los Angeles and empty shelves in grocery stores. Governor Gavin Newsom has been pleading for waivers to the mandates, but the drivers are not complying. The boycott has sparked discussions about the impact of such policies on the economy and the food supply, raising concerns about the future of the trucking industry in California and the broader implications for the nation's supply chain.

The dirty secret is all databases turn to shit over time if you don't enforce data integrity on all incoming data. Google is betting the farm on AI and letting most of the rest of its business decay as a result. Ditto for Microsux. Personal operating systems, for example, are down nearly to single digits of their total revenue. Cloud operations and server software are what is bringing in their bacon.

So they literally do not care about losing the customers they have. That is because the big rewards of stock options for executives only comes from the market thinking Google and Microsux are going to produce truly massive new revenue streams from AI.

Same reason why GE bought NBC back in the day. They thought infotainment would bring a higher return than the mature businesses that they already had.

211 Don Lemon wasn't part of the interruption. He arrived once the scene broke out to interview people on the scene.

On the one hand, an ICE agents shot a mom in the face and cursed her as she was dying. On the other hand, some leftists were *rude in a church* where an ICE official is a leader. And a journalist recorded it! Who can say which is worse. A real fuckin' conundrum.

The one guy in the church was whining, "I feel violated, I feel interrupted, I feel angry." Lol. I hope they do it again.

Don Lemon was great! We need more journalism like this. He wasnt part of the protest, he didnt interrupt the service. He seems to have just done what a street journalist should do. Document the event and the responses to it

Don Lemon can’t go into a church to film protests but 20-something right wing weirdos can try and break into daycares across America demanding to see the children? MAGA is one powerful drug.

You do understand how the federal system works?

You cannot try a federal case using trial by information, all federal criminal cases must go before a grand jury for indictment which then goes to a judge for issuance of an arrest warrant. If a grand jury no bills, like in the Leticia case, you have to convene a new grand jury to issue a new indictment with new information gathered.

Unless a federal agent directly observes the crime creating probable cause for arrest, then the case, including criminal misdemeanors must go before a grand jury in the district where the crime was committed.

Unlike most all states, who try by information in most cases, not grand juries. Bill of Rights prevents the feds from doing the same.

I was convinced that the government would waive every rule to get the houses built as fast as possible. The Palisades were relatively wealthy people. Definitely part of the top 5% of the state, prime source of tax income.

That they've just gone full CA in response instead shows the depths of their ideological commitment. It didn't surprise a lot of people who did predict this, but I thought there would be enough people saying, "Keep the rich people moderately happy by bypassing some red tape."

Nope. Red tape is more important than the tax base.

People mistake the state process versus the federal. Charges and arrest by information before a judge is the usual rather than grand jury indictments. Feds, by the Bill of Rights, are required to seek indictment by a federal grand jury.

Normally, state and federal authorities work together like in red states. If Lemon had done this in somewhere like Arkansas or Alabama, he would have been arrested and held on state charges until the Feds got into the act with a superceding indictment.

284 "I know I said yesterday that the only thing I cared about was deporting all the illegals, but now that that's become common place I must demand that the legal system move faster than it even did arresting rando grannies for 1/6."
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, barreling through the action thrills with Wolfgang Petersen at January 20, 2026 01:56 PM (GBKbO)

How many illegals have been deported? How many are still here?

Those are important questions, and I think a lot of people fear what will be accomplished by these operations will not put a dent in the problem. Followed by the fear that as soon as a Democrat gets put back in power, it'll just start up again.

What worries many is that the institutions that allowed this problem to fester for so long, have not seen a dent in their operations. Politicians, oligarchs, and the Deep State, whatever the F that is, aren't being touched by any of this.

And Street Theater is potentially a losing issue, when November rolls around.

286 >>Normally, state and federal authorities work together like in red states. If Lemon had done this in somewhere like Arkansas or Alabama, he would have been arrested and held on state charges until the Feds got into the act with a superceding indictment.

Which is why what is happening in Minnesota is in no way analogous to what happened after J6. Not only is DC a federal district and not a state it is the heaviest Democrat concentrated area in the country. The locals were tripping over themselves to assist the feds.

The authorities in Minnesota have made it abundantly clear they are on the side of the rioters and illegals and not only won't assist the feds they will do what they can to impeded them.

290 It's time to cut California loose. They had a pretty good run, but they are now dragging down the country. Keep the Eastern part, and maybe some counties in the North, and a corridor from AZ to San Diego and up to the port of Long Beach, this last part as a militarized zone.

Terrible idea. California is valuable. Shipping. Ports. Oil. Agriculture. Technology. Defense. No reason to cut it loose, and lots of reasons not to.

Stripping it of it statehood, reverting it to territorial status and putting it under a brutal and ruthless territorial governor is much more appealing.

California would be a Chicom colony protected by nukes within a couple of years if you do that. And then attacking the next states. I briefly toyed with the idea of secession working and then I came to my senses.

All it would do is create often indefensible borders for the Blue to invade the Red either overtly or covertly. It has to be stopped and this is the time and place to do it lest there be incredible amounts of blood shed in the future.

The truth is most of the land mass of the US is red, including blue states. Most of the cities in every state are blue to dark blue. Same for the isolated rural places where universities have been plopped down.

The reason why they are blue is government funding and higher education that has poisoned generations of Americans by indoctrination of shit that just ain't so. But that indoctrination has been reinforced by gobs of gubmint money, dependent jobs, and assortative marriage of likeminded products of our higher ed system. That has to be broken up to fix.

I could be wrong, but a very tacky friend of a complete arse I worked with had dreds as a white middle aged woman in FL. She said dreds are burned to stay like that.

She claimed she did this for the triathalon swimming.

Three months after a deadly shooting in Minneapolis that left two students dead and injured 18 others as well as three adults, Archbishop Bernard Hebda, along with Auxiliary Bishops Kevin Kenney and Michael Izen, said a special Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church on Dec. 6 that included a rite of reparation to restore the church for worship.

On Aug. 27, Robin Westman — who was born “Robert” and identified as a woman – shot through the stained glass windows of the church during a morning Mass filled with Annunciation school students in first through eighth grade, killing Fletcher Merkel, eight, and Harper Moyski, 10.

382 More importantly, they're blue because the second Dems have enough power to do so, they've been locking in the cheat. California was the beta test where they used the surge in illegals from the 1986 amnesty as cover to get the necessary power, and then Newsom eventually locked it in.
Posted by: Ian S.

The problem with using the cheat is the same problem with Venezuela, the regime hollows itself out to simply being a paymaster to keep the people in check, eventually the money runs out to pay the enforcers and the system collapses.

California is approaching collapse and without federal funds is likely to do so as their bought loyalty withers and blows away in teh wind.

As a former inmate from higher ed's asylum, the secret is that most professors are not that smart, especially in the social sciences. Clever yes, smart no.

Most cannot do statistical analysis or research design to save their ass, their modeling only looks at direct effects, not second and third order ones, and they have the same belief in word power as magic that it will create the reality they want.

There is a story, Naudsonce, that is one of the best examples of politics and society using a primitive newly discovered civilization as example.

You ain't kidding. This was a long time ago, but getting my Masters degree in Electrical Engineering at one of the top engineering graduate schools was held up for months because of the statistical incompetence of my faculty advisor, who wouldn't sign off on the last thing I needed for my degree because he didn't understand how statistical correlation work. Something you learn in Probability and Statistics 101.

I was about to leave for a job, not willing to wait any longer, when suddenly he changed his tune. I can only imagine that the department head, or somebody, was told I was leaving without my degree, looked into what the problem was, and saw that this incompetent was screwing me over erroneously.

This guy was Chinese, BTW, so undoubtedly a spy. At some point he even asked me to take some Chinese student under my wing (as if I owed him a favor). Didn't happen.

Minnesota Democrat Lawmaker (and Transgender): The Church Invasion That Resulted in Children Fleeing in Fear Is "Essential," "Must Continue"

essentialterrorism.jpg

They want the shooting to start.

Anti-ICE mob storming church 'essential' and 'must continue,' Democrat state lawmaker says

The mob screamed at women and children and harassed a young family that was trying to drive away in their vehicle.

By Hayley Feland


State Rep. Leigh Finke, a Democrat from St. Paul, posted on Facebook following an anti-ICE mob storming a local church service, calling the incident "essential" and saying that it "must continue."

"Actions like this--nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression--are essential," Finke wrote in a Facebook post. "And they must continue until I.C.E. is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved."

On Sunday, about 20 individuals stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul and shut down their morning worship service. The mob screamed at women and children and harassed a young family that was trying to drive away in their vehicle. People in the church were left traumatized, which former CNN reporter Don Lemon said is "what protesting is about."


...

In the past, Finke has defended rioting and called for abolishing the police. "So I'm here to tell you that there will be more riots. We remember Stonewall as a riot and we know now that it was necessary. The next riots will be necessary too," Finke said during a speech in 2022.

We might start violently disrupting your gatherings. And won't that be fun.

Via Hot Air, Minnesota's jihadist, antifa AG says not only will he not prosecute the terrorists, but he encourages others to terrorize the white Christians as well.

Libs are now harassing every semi masculine looking White man they see who won’t say “f*ck ICE,” on suspicion of being ICE.

This just isn’t sustainable.

So...why are they doing this not to ICE now?

Because ICE's been arresting people for obstruction when they get in the way for a couple of weeks.

So, protestors are going after softer targets who can't fight back. That's not exactly a sign of strength.

22 From Wiki:

"From 2018 to 2021, Finke was the senior producer at 1517 Media. There, she wrote and produced two documentary films: Ending the Silence: Confronting Sexual Shame in the Church and White Savior: Racism in the American Church. She also edited two nonfiction books for Beaming Books: Queerfully and Wonderfully Made and Welcoming and Affirming.

In 2021 and 2022, Finke worked as Multimedia Storyteller for the ACLU of Minnesota. In late 2022, she was publicly critical of Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen for spreading the transphobic litter boxes in schools hoax.

In March 2023, Finke started the Queer Equity Institute, a nonprofit that supports and encourages queer politicians."

You are essentially correct, however I would offer that voters also recognize genuine leadership. Not the typical political blathering crap, but honest leadership such as Trump displays. Sadly the media shields most of America from it and a lot of the future violence can be laid at their feet. But I believe as we approach the Midterms, we shall see more and more.

They tried to play revolutionary against DHS agents...and DHS agents just started throwing them in prison for obstruction...after wrecking their cars a bit (and probably impounding them and putting them on the fast track to being auctioned off, leaving the owners with the debt payments and no cars).

The bravest and boldest of them went after the power structure and are now facing months in prison on federal charges. So, the weaker ones go after...randos in the street and people praying in churches.

Our church's plan if protesters invade is to conclude the meeting and leave. I recently got called to be a security guy. We're not supposed to be muscle, just be a friendly greeter, keep watch at the doors for threats, spot weirdos, lock the doors a few minutes after the meeting starts, and only let normies in after the doors are locked. That sort of thing.

So I looked up this:
Screaming, in and of itself, is not typically considered assault. It crosses the legal threshold into assault when it is combined with words and actions that create a credible threat of immediate physical harm. The key elements are the threat itself and the apparent ability to carry it out, causing the victim to reasonably fear for their safety. The threat must be of imminent harm, meaning it is about to happen right away.

A guy screams at me, he cn fu*k off, but if he follows me and points a finger in my face, and even one drop of spittle touches me, that is, in my opinion, assault and I can now defend myself.

For almost my entire life Democrats have lied about being against vigilantism.

When they really mean, only when criminals are assaulted, are they against self-deputized crime fighters. When a leftist cause is advanced, self-deputization is all the rage.

Thus they reveal the sham that all their anti-vigilantism was been for decades. They said they were for order, even though order itself is a sign of to be re-interpreted to privilege and complacency according to their whim.

If he so much as pushes back, he risks it all in legal costs and reputational loss. Probably lose the job, probably lose all his money. Look what they did to the Flynn guy in Trump's first admin.

DHS's been arresting people for obstruction in Minneapolis for weeks, DOJ's been charging them.

Acting like DOJ doesn't do anything because in the 12 hours since a crime there hasn't been an execution is silly. Things happen weeks later, after evidence is gathered and presented to a federal grand jury. That's how the legal and law enforcement process works.

The arrests outside of immediate police presence tend to happen after the stories have fallen out of the news cycle, no one notices them, and everyone forgets the original story anyway.

249 DHS's been arresting people for obstruction in Minneapolis for weeks, DOJ's been charging them.

Acting like DOJ doesn't do anything because in the 12 hours since a crime there hasn't been an execution is silly. Things happen weeks later, after evidence is gathered and presented to a federal grand jury. That's how the legal and law enforcement process works.

The arrests outside of immediate police presence tend to happen after the stories have fallen out of the news cycle, no one notices them, and everyone forgets the original story anyway.

308 >>Acting like DOJ doesn't do anything because in the 12 hours since a crime there hasn't been an execution is silly. Things happen weeks later, after evidence is gathered and presented to a federal grand jury. That's how the legal and law enforcement process works.

Also worth noting that yesterday was a federal holiday and just like every other federal institution federal courts were closed.

There are 6 federal judges in MN. 5 are Obama-Biden appointees. Yes, they will try for indictments against what is obvious a hostile and corrupt court system. The DOJ has been saying so for 2 days now. There is zero reason to believe they would lie about something so blatantly obvious.

What's the goal, to be as corrupt as the left or to get our country back and live in the republic we built?

Trump may yet turn out to be the man who saves our country - or his era may turn out to be the Indian summer of the American Republic.

But when a scumbag attorney general like Keith Ellison (D-MN) says that anti-ICE/pro-rapist-murderer-child-molester protesters storming a Christian church during services for the express purpose of disrupting and intimidating attendees is “First Amendment activity,” he’s saying it’s okay to storm a mosque to disrupt an Islamic worship service.

Canada’s Liberal government has lost its bid to overturn a 2024 Federal Court ruling that found its use of the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy trucker protest was neither justified nor reasonable.

Then-Prime Minister Justin "The Ass" Trudeau invoked the legislation for the first time on Feb. 14, 2022, authorizing a sweeping police crackdown on protesters in Ottawa who opposed the federal government’s COVID-19 mandates.

Targets (196 starring Boris Karloff, directed by Peter Bogdanovich and, produced by *clears throat and enunciates carefully*, America's greatest film maker, Roger Corman.

"A startling directorial debut by Peter Bogdanovich mixes an homage to Boris Karloff horror films with a timely sniper story to create a thriller with modern baggage and old school shock and awe." Roger Ebert was less enthusiastic, stating in his review that the movie would have been better without Karloff's scenes which I find thick headed and offensive. On the other hand, the always correct and brilliant Quentin Tarantino stated "It was one of the most powerful films of 1968 and one of the greatest directorial debuts of all time. And I believe the best film ever produced by Roger Corman."

This has always been a losing argument. Unless the documents specifically name Trump as a pedo, the entire left will claim coverup. Many on the right have their own pet name that, if not named, will make them believe there is a coverup.

I am personally of the belief that the entire chain of evidence has hopelessly been compromised. I believe that many of the victims helped victimize others. Girls recruited and compromised other girls. This makes the task of protecting victims a Sisyphean task.

I also believe the juiciest proof of pedo activity is squirreled away in NSA, CIA, or other private intelligence hides far away from Trump's investigators. Think about it. Imagine a CIA guy who could tell Bill Gates to do anything he wanted. Would he give up that power? Especially if nobody but him knows where the videos are?

The Morning Rant: Violence Is Being Normalized

punk-monkey.jpg

The existential conceit of the modern West is that our concept of civilization has been the steady state throughout history. Sure, we know that there have been paroxysms of violence on a regular basis, but those are deviations from the baseline. Peace is the ultimate goal of everyone!

And that can't be further from reality. The history of Man is violence. Every day... every week... every year... every century! The rule of law has limited that violence, but only marginally, and only where that law is respected, or feared.

Our current situation in a mostly law-abiding country is becoming increasingly murky. The calls to violence from the hard left is axiomatic, but it has expanded into the soft left, the useful idiots who shriek nonsense at protests, blockade streets, and now assault law enforcement. That they are unfamiliar with the realities of attacking men with guns doesn't prevent them from obeying the directives of their puppet masters, and it is only the restraint of law enforcement and the indecision of our political leaders that has minimized bloodshed.

But that has emboldened the left, and the calls for violence are becoming more clear, have expanded even into the politicians of the left, and may very well precipitate a political crisis, which is of course the goal; they want an overreaction to the violent protests that they are planning in blue cities so that the American public sours on ICE's efforts to deport criminals.

And this is in spite of widespread support for the federal government's efforts to rein in illegal entry into America, and start to deport those who are already here illegally.

But that means nothing to the left, which has spent the last 100 years assiduously breaking down the rule of law, respect for our institutions, and the very concept of a moral people. They have also enlisted the latest crop of ignorant, arrogant, entitled suburban women into their battle with traditional culture. These are people who have never encountered violence, but feel morally superior and in high dudgeon in every way when confronted by rational limits on protest. Add to that the expectation that their womanhood will be a powerful shield against a response to their own violence, and we have the unfortunate but unsurprising outcome that we saw in Minneapolis two weeks ago.

Until the American people unequivocally demand a robust response to these violent protests, they will continue. Until we see the American people take a much more active role in the fight against leftist violence, it will continue.

Perhaps Minnesota is entirely populated by beta males, which might explain the cowardly and weak response to roving bands of leftist agitators stopping random people to demand their bona fides against the entirely legal efforts of the federal government to root out violent illegals in our midst!

How would that play out in Florida or Texas or Montana? Perhaps it is time to find out.

-------------

Every reaction or non-reaction is always framed as "overreaction" regardless (e.g. the retarded racist Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, Don Scott, publicly stated that President Trump shot an unarmed white woman in the face in Minneapolis).

Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act on May 26, 2020 -- the first night of the Domestic Terrorist Burning, Looting, and Murdering riots -- and sent in the National Guard and/or US Military with orders to disperse or be shot.

And that would have been the end of that.

Missoula is as left wing as Minneapolis if not more so since it’s a college town. Riots there would be fully supported by local police and politicians and the majority of the population.

It's not just violence that's being normalized. Academics and "experts" are normalizing all kinds of vices. Promiscuous sex, drugs, gambling, divorce, loss of religious sentiments, destruction of the family. All of which fall most heavily on the poor they purport to defend.

42 Larry Correia talks about the left and violence.

The left sees violence as a dial- you can get a little violent, or a lot violent, but you can tone it down if it gets too much.

The right sees it as a switch. Either we are a peaceful republic or it's all out war.

If the left keeps playing with their dial, they might flip the switch because they don't actually realize they're playing with fire.

43 Its clear that the Twin Cities are populated almost entirely by beta males and limp-wristed fags. That "we're going to take over your church service" would never happen in Oklahoma or Texas, unless it was at a United Methodist or Unitarian service, in which case they weren't busy doing anything of any importance to begin with.

--------------

I don't know if that church had a prohibition against firearms -- and if it did, it shouldn't have -- but Minnesota is an open carry and concealed carry state with "shall issue" laws.

Especially after the shooting at a church there in August, those asshats are lucky they didn't get shot when terrorizing that congregation.

Yeah, try that in Texas ...

44 They didn’t do a CT scan or Ultasound to see if the stone is still there?
Posted by: Opinion fact


They did before I passed it. But bloodwork, kidney function, residue in the screener & no pain for over 24 hours suggests enough for no need for a scan.
The original ER nurse said it was 8mm. The on Floor nurse in urology said 5mm. The actual urologist said it was only 4mm and I probably wouldn't notice it passing anyway.

51 Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act on May 26, 2020 -- the first night of the Domestic Terrorist Burning, Looting, and Murdering riots -- and sent in the National Guard and/or US Military with orders to disperse or be shot.

And that would have been the end of that.


Kurt Schlichter has thoughts. I go back and forth, not because I'm a RINO but because I'm interested in having the biggest impact.

There’s talk of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. No, he should keep that in his pocket. Remember, you see the individual encounters in Minnesota all over social media and the cable news, but there are only a few of them. The whole city is not in flames. It’s just a few fights, and there are 3,000 agents there. There’s no need to change the scenario and allow the left to alter the focus by putting the military on the street. Remember, they changed the focus from enabling Somali fraud to ICE being mean and shooting moronic lesbians who tried to run them over. We don’t need to slow down what ICE is doing. We need to accelerate it.

59 Depends where in Texas or Florida or Montana.

Missoula is as left wing as Minneapolis if not more so since it’s a college town. Riots there would be fully supported by local police and politicians and the majority of the population. Same in Austin. Probably San Antonio. Miami? Probably. Especially with the new AWFL Democrat mayor they just elected.

Every big city is a blue shithole doesn’t matter what state it’s in.

92 Recall the Solitary Dancer demonstration. He takes the bold step of drawing attention to himself. The first follower plays the crucial role of affirming the dancer, and encouraging others to join.

More people joining in creates and reinforces a kind of vortex that first pulls in those who are moderately aligned. The vortex reaches a critical mass that pulls in the mildly aligned, and under the right circumstances, pulls in otherwise reluctant participants who fear non-participation will make them stand out as conspicuously as the original Solitary Dancer.

This is what is playing out in Minnesota. The vortex is going after the reluctant participants. This is new. The Summer of Floyd lacked this component. How this gets dealt with determines our future, IMO...

More like 50 antifag goons. Look at the video of the riots. It's a few dozen assholes and swarms of media types and wannabe influencers. When something happens, you often can't get a good look because the media losers are all crowded around it. Like 50 reporters standing around Punxsutawney Phil's hole. Pics of the aftermath are usually of the same car or location shot from multiple angles.

116 The Dems would like nothing more than Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. THAT would motivate their base more than anything for the elections. In reality these incidents are relatively few and localized compared to the number of operations.

Maybe? The industrial revolution was certainly coming to the plantations and tractors are cheaper than humans in the long run. But you (the plantation owner) have to have a pretty good financial cushion to be able to see the long run and human stoop labor remains a thing even on some farms today. Hence the (perceived) "need" for cheap immigrant labor.

Did I say that was a differentiator of the "right"?

In most cases, the "left" defines Marxists and Marx-like advocates. The "right" is everybody that does not want to go all the way to the end of one of those narratives, or advance to the "next step".

Interesting thing is that fascists at least want to go to the next step: the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat". But its different in their version; the goal of the state is not to whip people into shape until they're ready to live in communes forever, but simply serve out the needs of the nation. The fascist state is simply supposed to be the DotP as the *end* state of "progress".

They are "right" because they would not put the state to the purpose of the "6th and final stage of history".

My guess is slavery would have faded away by about 1880 anyway. It was rapidly becoming economically untenable.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 20, 2026 11:33 AM (8zz6B)

They economics of slavery had already disappeared by 1860. The reason the south wanted slavery expanded to the territories is because at that time the most valuable things about a slave was his (and her) ability to make more slaves. The south needed an outlet for these "new" slaves to keep it economically viable.

...

Yes, breeding humans is particularly disgusting. There were individuals on the South side that were good people, but the South's cause was seriously evil. (And sadly, actual concerns about the extent of federal power were swallowed up in the evils of slavery.)

182 There's often a method to Trump's madness even if not evident. He's up to several things with "Greenland"

Trump & Co recently released a report on US global strategic priorities:
1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine
2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1
3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1

"Greenland" is clearly part of #1.

But it's also #3. Denmark has sovereignty over Greenland only in a nominal way for historic reasons now obscure. You'd think our NATO allies would appreciate our strategic interest and play along. But no.
By sending a token resistance force our NATO allies are proving that the Alliance is long past its expiration.

We should offer Greenlanders the same deal we give Puerto Ricans.
And give every adult a free Polaris snowmobile.
Trump knows how to close a deal.

183 166 Did I say that was a differentiator of the "right"?

In most cases, the "left" defines Marxists and Marx-like advocates. The "right" is everybody that does not want to go all the way to the end of one of those narratives, or advance to the "next step".

Interesting thing is that fascists at least want to go to the next step: the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat". But its different in their version; the goal of the state is not to whip people into shape until they're ready to live in communes forever, but simply serve out the needs of the nation. The fascist state is simply supposed to be the DotP as the *end* state of "progress".

They are "right" because they would not put the state to the purpose of the "6th and final stage of history".

187 Just a point of order.

Although it is common in English to make "gulag" a common noun and to pluralize it, in Russian it is an acronym, GULAG, standing for "Glávnoye upravléniye ispravítel'no-trudovýkh lageréy" or "Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps"), and was the name for the entire labor-camp system. So, not a common noun, and not capable of being pluralized.

'It is unacceptable, even if you might have strong political feelings,' the official declared.

Hence the (perceived) "need" for cheap immigrant labor.

Posted by: night lifted at January 20, 2026 11:55 AM (kJmLc)

I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt.

Women in the US have NEVER been chattel, at least none that were not also slaves.

Women were married off early because life was hard and EVERYONE had terrible lives. Sometimes it was worse for the women. Sometimes it was worse for the men.

Most men were working full time as an adult by age 13 at the same time women were being married off at that age. Were men chattel because of that?

242 A wave of right-wing social media accounts launched near-identical attacks against a little-known Republican-backed bill aimed at restricting the export of advanced AI chips to adversaries, raising questions about whether the effort was coordinated to derail legislation publicly opposed by Nvidia.

The AI OVERWATCH Act was introduced on Dec. 18, but seemingly out of nowhere on Thursday, a group of influencers and X accounts — including Laura Loomer, Ryan Fournier, Wall Street Mav and Defiant L’s — launched a barrage of attacks against the bill, ModelRepublic first reported. The timing, language and even shared errors across the posts prompted some to question whether the messaging may have been coordinated.

Despite posts characterizing the bill as an effort led by Democrats and “Never-Trumpers,” the legislation was introduced by Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and has no Democratic sponsors.

I am eagerly anticipating, with joyful hope, the arrest of Don Lemon for his actions in the church Sunday.

If normal nobodies can have their lives upended endlessly simply for walking through open doors and looking around (Jan 6) then the actions of don and his friends deserve the harshest of prosecutions.

oh yes! he is from Ephrata, in Lancaster county near Lititz.

he robbed a lovely historic cemetery called Mount Moriah. I actually visited there recently. It is unkempt and unfortunately located (near the ghetto). but it holds historic graves, including Civil War dead.

there is no security, no nothing at all. so the dude just opened up crypts and grabbed stuff, mostly bones, and re-sold them to sick Modern Goths and degens

Paid protesters stirring up trouble while also keeping the mass fraud of their party off the front page. It's right there in your face if you want to see it. And their excuses are ridiculous, if you break the law you should be arrested. The media love to keep this story going for as long as they can.
To tell the truth, I'm bored with all of it. If they want to go out everyday and play stupid I don't care. It's their state let them make asses out of themselves, they are doing a good job of it.

326 They wanted to get Trump for inciting J-6, by his "rhetoric".

However, nothing Trump said in the J-6 rally approaches Walz contention that ICE is going "door-to-door" asking "where the People of Color are at".

That's a patent lie, and it stirs up violent reaction in its target group so that they claim they are "protecting their neighborhoods" (Not against forcible sodomy of children, as the record shows.)

Chris Plante did a brilliant subversion of Mayor Fried's statement that "thousands of people who don't share their values" invaded Mini-appletini. Since, Fried does not mean that about the vast number of immigrants dropped off in the city, then those immigrants--who know little about American values--must share Fried's values. Such as forcible sodomy on children.

ICE does not share that value. So Fried is right.

The initial false claim the FNM made about Karen Deathwheels is that she was just a normal mom who ended up blocking ICE accidentally.

The give away was in one of the released videos an ICE agent checks their license plate while lesbo wife bleats that its the same number they've been checking all day.

Making sure to have their license plates will make it easier to identify Karens from "normal moms" and will make everyone safer...

335 Batshit gun case being heard at SCOTUS. Hawaii attempted to ban guns under a 'black code.' Justice Thomas had to remind them of the 14th Amendment.

I think SCOTUS took this one because it's a no-brainer. In my most forgiving mood, I can almost imagine that there might be a case to be made for a vampire law but Hawaii's ain't it. "Your honors, you should let us keep our unconstitutional laws because it's what King Kamehameha would have done."

=====

Issue polling is rife with major issues, especially regarding the phrasing of questions.

A YouGov poll getting 45% to disapprove of ICE? Considering YouGov can barely be considered a poll...that's nothing.

Simply ask "Should the US deport all illegals" and you'll still get solid majorities.

Plus, now that activists are afraid of confronting ICE directly (lots of arrests over the last couple of weeks for obstruction), and suddenly the theater of ICE diminishes.

24 Wiki-

The painting is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is praised for its dramatic depiction of the threatening mood of blackening skies and eerily illuminated terrain prior to the storm itself. The painting has been connected to mounting tensions before the Civil War, which were often expressed in terms of natural imagery

Yes. Just once as well. Was walking from bus stop to house after being sent home just 2 hours into the school day Superintendent lost his job over sending the kids to school that day. Bus almost went off the road before even getting to our stop, so he definitely deserved it. An eighth-mile walk in blizzard conditions seems very long. Fortunately, the van was parked at the bottom of the hill so sister, neighbor girl, and I listened to the thunder while resting out of the wind for a few minutes before finishing our walk.

https://tinyurl.com/y44jz4hh

From his The Rake's Progress series, we see the sozzled rake having his pocket picked by a prostitute. But I want to draw your attention to the two women at the left of the painting.

The one taking off her stockings was known as a "posture moll." For a fee, she would strip naked and then, standing on the mirrored plate held up by the old woman with a candle behind her, let herself be examined from all angles and positions. The moll, however, was NOT a prostitute and you were not allowed to touch her.

Thus endeth today's lesson on Georgian sex practices.

California is working to achieve these things. In the last year, it's become harder to get it done.


They've almost completed their unanticipated expulsion of Hollywood.

California losing over $1B to rival states for film, TV production — despite Newsom tax incentives

California saw 20% fewer movie and TV projects filming in the state compared to a year ago...

The slump came even after Democrat Newsom signed legislation doubling California’s film and TV tax credit program from $330 million to $750 million annually, in an effort to keep such projects local.

Although our overall numbers remain low, there are dozens of incentivized projects that have yet to begin filming,” FilmLA Vice President Philip Sokoloski told The Hollywood Reporter, urging patience as the expanded incentives begin to take effect.


Don't worry, we'll make it up on low volume!!!

Well, there all movie threads..

I liked Knives Out so much I decided to check out some other Rian Johnson films and so watched Brick, a noir set in high school. I pretty much liked it although it clearly is not the polished, professional work of his later films. For example, it can be hard to follow based on the high school gangster patter. "Lunch" has a special meaning. Who or where one eats lunch indicates his associates. Also, the film is almost entirely lacking in humor. Shot at his own high school, Johnson said it's not how high was but how it felt.

246 Late to the thread. Hate when life gets in the way of AOSHQ.

A bit of home here since I grew up on Narragansett Bay. I love the way Heade captures the light and how it effects colors as a storm approaches. It is a very different thing from regular sunlight. The painting also shows how calm everything gets before the front comes through. The sailboat is moving calmly and the water is flat and dark. Literally the calm before the storm. It's a peaceful summer scene on the protected areas of the bay, probably on the western side. I really like the man and his pup sitting peacefully, watching the weather.

California losing over $1B to rival states for film, TV production — despite Newsom tax incentives

California saw 20% fewer movie and TV projects filming in the state compared to a year ago...

The slump came even after Democrat Newsom signed legislation doubling California’s film and TV tax credit program from $330 million to $750 million annually, in an effort to keep such projects local.

------

"Breaking Bad" was originally going to be filmed in Riverside CA. The setting was changed to New Mexico because it was much cheaper to film there.

The Morning Report — 1/20/26

FireBrimstone.jpg

Good morning kids. Yesterday I took quite a bit of flak in the comments about my asking what is PresidentTrump's "fixation" about Greenland. I also made it perfectly clear, or perhaps not! That I do indeed recognize the geographical and geopolitical importance of Greenland vis a vis its proximity to America as well as our foreign adversaries'/enemies' obvious interest in having a base on that island or total control over it and indeed the Arctic itself as a means of hemming us in if not outright crippling us economically and militarily in the event of some future hot confrontation. Also, as I thought I clearly stated yesterday, the President's foreign policy initiatives have been nothing short of brilliant in securing our interests and that of our allies and moving the world in a better direction all-around. In that regard he has been more successful than perhaps any president I can think of.

Yet that said, there is an actual hot confrontation happening right now and it is with our nation's most dangerous enemy of all — the anti-American Left and its political epicenter the Democrat Party. Collectively they have, as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently put it long before he became President in the wake of the Democrats touching off the Civil War, the reverberations of which we are still suffering from over 160 years later as a result of permitting the Democrat Party and what it eventually mutated/metastasized into. The anti-American communist beachhead has been here all this time, Greenland or no Greenland. The Democrats are rotting away at the vitals of our nation.

Unless and until Don Lemon, jasmine Crockett, Tim Walz, Jacob Frey and everyone who invaded and Terrorized that Minneapolis church are sitting down to have dinner with Renee Good somewhere in the Infernal Reaches, we shall never know a moment's peace. As I said yesterday, either this ends now or ultimately it ends us.

Democrats are playing with fire, but it’s the whole country that’s likely to get burned.
For a democratic republic to function, you need certain key elements. 
First, elections must be generally regarded as honest. 
Second, candidates and their supporters have to abide by the results of those elections when they occur.
Third, winners of elections must not behave in a way that makes losing the contest a matter of life and death (or lifetime imprisonment).

Democrats are undermining — or just outright wrecking — all three.
Ellen DeGeneres draws criticism for comments on Minneapolis protests
Don Lemon blasts Minnesota churchgoers harassed by anti-ICE protesters for ‘entitlement’ and ‘white supremacy’

On the electoral trustworthiness front, Democrats are standing united against measures to ensure that only legitimate voters can cast votes, and that the votes cast are counted honestly and transparently.
When it comes to abiding by elections, the Democrats have treated President Donald Trump’s victories in both 2016 and 2024 as illegitimate. (In fairness, he did the same in 2020 — but accepted Joe Biden’s presidency after Inauguration Day.)
In Trump’s first term, Democrats formed a “resistance” movement — as if the administration of a duly elected president was analogous to a German occupation government in World War II — and pushed the patently false claim that his victory was a “hacked election” or the product of (nonexistent) “Russian collusion.” 
In his second term the “resistance” is expanding, with suggestions that Trump is ruling as a “king” — and now with the often violent protests aiming to block the legitimate enforcement of duly enacted immigration laws. 
Democratic governors and mayors in Minnesota, Oregon and Illinois have gone so far as to actively enable the chaos by withdrawing police protection.  
Finally, winners of elections must not pose an existential threat to the losers; they can’t carry out, or even hint at, mass imprisonment or blanket prosecution. Finally, winners of elections must not pose an existential threat to the losers; they can’t carry out, or even hint at, mass imprisonment or blanket prosecution.  
Take a lesson from history: Julius Caesar led his army across the Rubicon to seize power in Rome because his political enemies were plotting to subject him to political prosecutions that could have led to his death or exile.  
Caesar saved himself (for a while) — but his action, and the behavior of his opponents that triggered it, killed off the Roman Republic.
Historically in American politics, electoral losers have accepted the results, however grudgingly, and concentrated on winning the next election. 
This new trend of treating Republican electoral victories as inherently illegitimate is a departure — and very dangerous.
It’s made more dangerous by widespread threats from important Democratic figures to prosecute not only Trump and his administration, but lower-level officials — and now, even federal law-enforcement agents. 
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been raising this specter for months, and other prominent leftists are following his lead.
In September, Jeffries said that Democrats would prosecute members of Trump’s Justice Department once they regain power: “Donald Trump and this toxic administration will be long gone, but there will still be accountability to be had.”
In December, he issued a message on X to “all these GOP extremists and [Trump] sycophants . . . the statute of limitations is 5 years! It will be well beyond the end of the Trump admin.”
We’ve heard similar statements from Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Democratic consultant James Carville and ex-CNN gadfly Jim Acosta.  This month, the drumbeat got louder amid stepped-up immigration-enforcement operations in Minneapolis, Minn.
Leftist commentator Jennifer Welch recently used her podcast to push “relentless” prosecutions of Trump, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller and other Republicans if Democrats regain power, arguing it would be necessary for “true national reconciliation.”

And just last week Jeffries was back warning rank-and-file ICE officers to expect a Democratic administration to prosecute them for any crimes it could discover (or perhaps, given the history of efforts to prosecute Trump in the past, invent).
“Every single one of these people who we see brutalizing the American people, they’re gonna be held accountable,” Jeffries said of ICE agents. “And the statute of limitations . . . is five years.”
As Caesar’s experience demonstrates, you can’t have a democratic republic if every election is an existential struggle in which the loser risks extinction. 
People don’t want to be rendered extinct, and they can be expected to take steps to prevent it.
If Democrats keep up this thuggery, Republicans will be all but forced to respond in their own defense — and any action they may take could destabilize the nation even further.
The last time such a breach happened in the United States was in 1860, where pro-slavery Democrats seceded from the country rather than abide by the results of a presidential election.  That resulted in a Civil War that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and devastated much of the nation — a war driven by Southern “fire-eater” rhetoric that’s not unlike what we’re hearing from some Democrats today.
It needs to stop, or the consequences might be much worse this time around.


Have a great day.

That having been said, bombing every known cartel location and hanging the Mexican President as a warning to all future Mexican Presidents would be more cost efficient than annexation.

19 Speaking after receiving an award at the National Action Network’s annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Legislative Breakfast in Washington, DC, former Attorney General Eric Holder (D) delivered a sweeping critique of what he characterized as state-sponsored voter suppression, racial gerrymandering, and the erosion of democratic institutions.

Let's see...

- Routine election day shenanigans? Check.
- Insisting on 'majority-minority' Congressional districts? Check.

27 Good morning kids. Yesterday I took quite a bit of flak in the comments about my asking what is PresidentTrump's "fixation" about Greenland.

I'm sick of it too, as well as being sick of his whining about not getting a Nobel.

Trump has the greatest opportunity since 1865 to shatter the Democrat party and yet he is pissing it away. Just as I predicted after Renee Good, the Dems are doubling down and he isn't doing a damned thing about it. And as I said on the Tech Thread, I guarantee that for all the huffing and puffing, not only will that rat bastard Don Lemon not be arrested, the DoJ will come up with a novel excuse as to why he is immune from any sort of prosecution.

28 Not but a few months ago, a tranny broke into a church service and shot children, killing them.
And again another church was hit in Nigeria, killing and enslaving the parishioners.
And in Michigan, a church was burned during service and several killed.

But Don Lemon says it's white supremacy, not valid actual fear, that caused the members to panic in terror when his group busted in yelling and screaming.

The city and state let this happen.

It's time to declare an insurrection, order dispersal of the crowds and restoration of law.
Then invoke the Act when they refuse.
Dissolve the city government of Minneapolis and the state government of Minnesota, arrest the leaders, and place the state under martial law.

Leftists are going to try to murder ICE officers. I should say continue to try. Because it's happened. Remember the shooting at ICE officers in Dallas (I think) four of five months ago, by a guy on a rooftop across from the ICE facility's entrance gate? IIRC he wounded an in-custody illegal or two; no ICE officers. He killed himself.

With the original delay, I wonder if they were set to strike them down, but maybe a word from the administration reminded them the money would have to be given back and it's already been spent. So, all the money would have to come from a nice big tax hike. Could be the justices don't want to have the blame hung on them. A coward like Roberts is probably scrambling to get them to be OK'd.

When asked if “the US Constitution is a higher authority than international law,” only 37 percent of naturalized citizens agreed, compared to 67 percent of American-born natives.

I know I am pissing in wind but a 40 year stop on all immigrations is needed.

I believe the unrest in Minneapolis was originally funded through the Somali fraud. That's my money funding it, at the start, not some billionaire.

Yet, there are several billionaires that resurface everytime one goes looking for who's pouring money into the rioting. Those people are known, have been known for years.

My question is this; why hasn't the DoJ with an assist from the DoD or some other 3 letter Agency black bagged one or more of them? I think that would send every bit the message that the 11th ABN out of Alaska would. No?

I get that there is/will be an ongoing struggle with the NGO's and the deeply embedded agents of chaos to rid ourselves of their madness. That does not preclude definitive action against one or more of them now.

These are people so whipped up in their fury fantasy (who in their right mind fights for drug traffickers, rapists and pedophiles of the worst kind to stay here?) and when you couple that with the fact that they are pampered American brats who have never encountered war or anything adverse in their lives, they have zero understanding what they're inciting...what they're fomenting. They've created a tinder box and are holding the match and gasoline thinking it's fun. Grab your cell phone camera now and grab your SJW bonafides and accolades at the door as you upload your "fighting Trump" clip onto the web.

171 One of the things about media people I find curious to the point of total fascination is their total lack of shame. Not just regarding the risible lies, or the cringe-inducing throne sniffing, or the naked betrayals of public trust, but in all aspects of life.

Jeffrey Toobin jacked off in a Zoom meeting. Don Lemon got caught smearing his scrotum sweat on a waiter's lips at a tiki bar. Both sidled directly back up to the media trough with a smile, as though these things never happened.

I would not jack off in a business meeting or commit revolting sexual harassment against a service worker. But if I did, and I got caught - that would be that. I would take a job in a completely different industry so that I would never encounter former colleagues, and move to a city far, far away. I would hide from that ignominy.

But not them. They're completely missing something most people have.

Do you really think a group of people with the combined IQ of a potato organized this massive fraud ring that isn't just happening in Minnesota but nationwide without help? Somalis are a weapon not the masterminds.

Somalis were intentionally imported and set up in enclaves like Minneapolis, Lewiston, ME, Columbus, OH and others and taught how to game billions of our tax dollars in exchange for political support. They've turned purple areas deep blue and guaranteed Democrats certain seats.

There is no way this scale of fraud could have gone on for so long without a whole lot of help from politicians and power brokers.

Mike Benz compared the people behind all of these scams as seed investors who start organizations with their money and then attract huge amount of tax dollars. The people who attacked the church are the same people who rioted in 2020. It's a lot of the same networks and they most definitely have billionaire backing.

One of them most often mentioned is Neville Roy Singham, who funded most of the George Floyd riots, and whose wife is a co-founder of Code Pink. His organizations are quietly funding much of what’s going on today. Why don’t we “bag him”? Because he got out of the US when he realized he was way past the law, and ostensibly moved to Singapore.
But other reports say that he actually spends most of his time now in Shanghai, under the personal protection of Xi. If he does go to Singapore, no doubt he is with a full Chinese military security team around him.
Did I mention where most of his money comes from? Take a big guess.

“Immigrant” is a legal term as well. Someone who entered the United States through a port of entry and has authorization to be in the United States.

243 With Artemis, NASA has done none of those things, or if it has, it has done it tentatively and not sufficiently. SLS has only launched once. It has not been tested as rigorously as Apollo tested the Saturn V. It remains a large unknown.

More significantly, Orion will be flying humans using a life support system that has never been tested in space at all. Before sending Artemis II to the Moon, NASA intends to hold the capsule in Earth orbit for several hours to check the system out, but that is certainly not the same as the two-week mission of Apollo 7.

I passed anyway. I didn't get an email, "There was not sufficient material to make a determination; please test again." Oh, no. "You passed."

It is, of course, a ludicrous accusation, but paid trolls are daily spreading this lie across the internet. This untruth is essentially an accusation of treason, which then leads the internet mob to call for my death. Advocating for liability for Google is no small step for me.

334 Greg Gutfeld:
This isn’t about immigration. It isn’t about ICE. It isn’t about Trump. It is about suicidal empathy that is driven by a rescue fantasy.

You have all of these young, middle-aged women going out there because they have some emptiness in them, going out there in this rescue delusion—helping people they don’t know, strangers who are guilty of crimes. How can you defend that?

This is not protesters going to a church. That is a mob. The people that invented the phrase “safe spaces” are breaking it, frightening kids. These are the people that call us fascists, and they’re hunting people. These are the people that claim to defend women, and yet are defending men who abuse women. These are the people that call us homophobic, and yet they want to out ICE guys for using—I don’t know—gay sex apps.

Let’s be honest here. Fry’s a pussy. He’s scared of these people, or else he would stand up for it, calling it love.

There’s no such thing as a mob with love. Imagine showing this tape to Don Lemon 10 years ago—15 years ago—and saying, “Is this where you saw yourself, Lemon? Crashing a church service? Scaring kids? Attacking a pastor? Was this your hope and dream—to do this?”

335 Good morning, all and thanks, J.J.

From above, "In Trump’s first term, Democrats formed a “resistance” movement ..."

Yes, among others, the Indivisible Movement appeared late 2016 with an viral online guide ('Guide for Resisting Trump Agenda') to help progressives organize & emulate Tea Party tactics of pressuring their members of Congress. It was cofounded by a young married couple, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, former Congressional staffers.
They're still very much around, instrumental in organizing the "No Kings" protests.

In fact, I'm listening to their 1.15.26 'What's the Plan? A Weekly Discussion with Leah and Ezra,' YouTube. (What's the Plan was previously hosted by the couple on Zoom but now, 2026, it has moved to being cohosted with Lemonada Media as a weekly podcast.

At present, they're speaking of 'Lines in the Sand' (State your demands!)) for ICE and DHS funding, and are pulling Jeffries and Schumer into the discussion, calling them out for lack of leadership. They also are talking about not accepting the authoritarian overreach of the current (Trump) administration, along with counter training, involvement and protesting.

Top Story

  • Two things to clarify from yesterday. First, that quote at the top of the post explaining the DRAM Apocalypse was from Jatin Malik, an engineer at Atlassian.

    Second, brains are computers.


  • Agent psychosis: Are we going insane? (Armin Ronacher)

    Apparently, yes:
    You can use Polecats without the Refinery and even without the Witness or Deacon. Just tell the Mayor to shut down the rig and sling work to the polecats with the message that they are to merge to main directly. Or the polecats can submit MRs and then the Mayor can merge them manually. It's really up to you. The Refineries are useful if you have done a LOT of up-front specification work, and you have huge piles of Beads to churn through with long convoys.
    That's from the Gas Town Emergency User Manual which would be a great name for a work of surrealist speculative fiction but is quite literally a user manual.
    Looking at Gas Town (and Beads) from the outside, it looks like a Mad Max cult. What are polecats, refineries, mayors, beads, convoys doing in an agentic coding system? If the maintainer is in the loop, and the whole community is in on this mad ride, then everyone and their daemons just throw more slop up. As an external observer the whole project looks like an insane psychosis or a complete mad art project. Except, it's real? Or is it not? Apparently a reason for slowdown in Gas Town is contention on figuring out the version of Beads, which takes 7 subprocess spawns. Or using the doctor command times out completely. Beads keeps growing and growing in complexity and people who are using it, are realizing that it's almost impossible to uninstall. And they might not even work well together even though one apparently depends on the other.
    What is Beads?

    Beads is a quarter of a million lines of code to manage Markdown files in Git repositories.

    I have written entire enterprise systems with paying customers and decade-long track records that are no larger than that.

    But I didn't have agentic AI to help me, so they actually worked.

    There's a term in programming called technical debt, which measures the cost of a quick fix that you know you will have to rip out and fix properly one day.

    Vibe coding is the technical debt singularity.

20 Fen, that's not a Dolly song I know. Did you know she turned 80 the other day? She's had an amazing life -- close to sixty years of it as a performer. The old Porter Wagoner show used to be on local TV on Saturday evenings when I was a kid. I paid little attention to it, not being a country fan then, and so I don't recall if she was on it then or not.

22 From IMDb: "[Dolly] fell in love with Carl Dean, who ran an asphalt-paving business; they married on May 30, 1966 and they stayed married until his death in 2025. In 1967 her singing caught the attention of Porter Wagoner, who hired her to appear on his program, The Porter Wagoner Show (1961). She stayed with the show for 7 years, their duets became famous, and she appeared with his group at the Grand Ole Opry; she also toured and sold records."

So she was not on the show when I recall glimpsing it. I'm sure I'd have remembered her.

I don't know Williams either. Modern country has lost what it used to have, the kind of "story songs" that caught at your heart, and the sense of "fun" in tunes like "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home." Though even that had a thread of seriousness to it: A wife is fed up with her husband's drinking at bars, so she proclaims she's going to make their house over into a honky-tonk bar so he'll stay at home with her.

If you don't know Randy Travis's "Three Wooden Crosses," I suggest you look it up. It's like a complete short story in song and has a wonderful Christian message.

35 I believe that jury-rig is the older of the two terms by quite a bit and comes from the world of sailing where it is is strictly employed, even today (one would not use jerry-rig on a sailboat for sure, maybe one of those noisy powerboat contraptions) but I believe jerry-rig is also really old. So one can also use jerry-rig in any other setting than marine, I would say. Hmm might have to research this a bit more.

37 The other classic country "story song" I love and say that it's a complete short story is Garth Brooks's "The Beaches of Cheyenne." Like a lot of the material he did in his early years in the spotlight, it is dynamite -- and seems to be something that nobody in country music had ever done before.

38 A classic -- originally from a guy called Don Francisco. We used to play his stuff at the Christian radio station. Dolly's voice is perfect for it.

Yeah, Don Fransisco's stuff is great! Apparently I had his and John Michael Talbot's songwriting mixed up in my head. Both worth a listen.

42 Jerry-rig, jerry-rigged isn't showing up in the New Oxford American Dictionary.

Maybe jerry-built?

jerry-built
adjective
badly or hastily built with materials of poor quality: behind the house was a jerry-built shack.

ORIGIN
mid 19th century: origin unknown; sometimes said to be from the name of a firm of builders in Liverpool, or to allude to the walls of Jericho, which fell down at the sound of Joshua's trumpets (Josh. 6:20).

43 Working at Christian AM radio in the late '80s and into the late '90s, I came to a strong appreciation of the best of that music. It was no longer all choir music, hymns, or old-style gospel music, I learned. The songwriters and singers who came along then had grown up with pop music and were influenced by it, melding the Christian message with solid and often catchy tunes. "He's Alive" is one of the very best of all time. Not only the story we all know, but a driving and haunting melody too.

I found out only recently that Herb Alpert's 1967 album cut, "Wade in the Water," an irresistible and haunting melody too, is an old-time gospel song. I was flipping through the hymnal at Miss Linda's Catholic church and happened to run across it. Amazing.

And it's even more amazing when you realize they were in for the duration. Vietnam guys, I understand, knew they were only in for a year or so unless they re-upped. In WWI and WWII, and probably Korea (?), unless you were badly wounded, you were in it until the war was over.

Though I believe there was something called "points," which you earned in service. The impression I have is that once you reached a certain total, you could go home. I don't know how that worked.

49 The 1932 The Most Dangerous Game w/ Joel McCrea and Fay Wray is coming up on Movies! at 5 am central. I know of it, but have never seen it. This would have been the year before Fay became famous for her turn in King Kong.

As for McCrea, he was a solid performer for several decades. His title role as "Sergeant Hook" with Barbara Stanwyck in the '50s is a great adaptation of the Jack Schaefer Western short story (which I admire tremendously), and he is perfectly cast.

50 Gas Town sounds like it's an MMO game in a novel where the players don't know they're doing real work that is making the company immensely wealthy beyond their cover as a games company. Kind of a variation on 'Severance', which itslef is an homage to a brief late 60s trope in Science fiction after the publication of some influential neurology research. This also inspired Julian Jaynes and his wacko theory.

When this AI madness collapses and investors get burned on their special use buildings, all of the zoning, permits and infrastructure will be placed in these outlying areas (eg. Micron in upper NYS). The next generation can move out into the sticks to make appliances, pharmaceuticals and parts that we previously offshored to our enemies.

They will have roads, industrial scale water and electricity, smaller affordable homes to live in, and be outside the reach of the foreigner/monsters we keep in the urban hellscape.

121 I used to get excited about upcoming power generation benefits from the AI fever, but now I've come around to the more cynical view that the additional capability and better technology (eg nuclear) will be reserved for the wealthy, connected, and mega tech corporations. I hope I'm wrong, though.

122 "Dumbphone owners have lost their minds: The deranged rantings of a smartphone owner."

Digital detoxing, apparently, is a thing. The solution in this guy's case? Use a phone that does less and then use the hotspot function so he could use his laptop. Using a device to stop using devices is recursive madness. Like bemoaning your 14th donut of the day, the solution here is simple: don't put the the second one in your mouth.

Still I find myself flirting on the edges of wanting to pitch my phone into the lake occasionally. And I would if it wasn't for Google maps, the apps that substitute for my daily newspaper I used to buy in print, and that it is also the equivalent of a 1960s TV console with a record player built. It's easy to chow down that 15th on it it seems.

It's morphed into the issue of zoomers that are arrogant in thinking they have the world at their fingertips, but are so poorly educated they don't know what to ask or how to evaluate sources for credibility.

consciousness is just a sensory-response narrative about your self that your brain builds out of recent context

a cat experiences this too, but with much less abstract content

AI doesn't experience this at all

that said you can probably build in arbitrary levels of self-awareness and active learning into AI, so they could at least pretend to be conscious to the point it might be hard to tell for sure that it isn't

The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

As someone whose political views have changed over the years, I have always marveled at the one big, gaping chasm of uncommon ground between the right and the left: liberals can't seem to understand that their actions are 100% related to the unstoppable boot of consequences headed toward their non-binary crotches — and that boot has a steel toe. Kevin Downey, Jr.


Quote II

“The sad truth is, for way too long, antisemitism has been allowed to grow unchecked in this country. Too many institutions have abdicated their moral responsibility to speak up. Too many so-called leaders have stayed quiet. Actions have consequences and inaction has consequences, too,” US Attorney General Pam Bleach Bondi

Quote III

I, for one, can’t afford the nuanced opinions and delicate sensibilities of my more liberal neighbors. Bill Glahn


And finally Dr. Thomas Sowell nails it when looking at the AWFLs ..................

Frank Zappa, KISS, hockey, what's not to like? Hartland, Michigan was truly an interesting place in the 1970s.

Hartland — Which community has had the most epic decade in Michigan history?

Ann Arbor in the 1960s had hippies running wild. Detroit and the auto industry boomed in the 1920s. Grand Rapids officially became “Beer City USA” in the 1990s.

But the title of “Most Epic Decade in Michigan History” belongs to Hartland in the 1970s.

Hartland? Where’s that?

Hartland is a sleepy suburb in Livingston County that’s best known these days for the bad traffic at US-23 and M-59, but in the 1970s it was far and away the coolest place in the entire state. Consider all that happened in this tiny bedroom community back then:

61 There are several YT channels that render popular songs in Latin and, being a nerd, I listen to them. One such song is Tears For Fears' Everybody Wants to Rule the World. I've thought the song was kind of catchy but I've never really thought about it. Now that I'm plumbing the depths of Latin vocabulary and grammar, I am thinking about it. And the above three quotes on consequences brings it to mind. I could be full of shit (I frequently am) but I think the song is about our being constantly forced to make decisions based only on imperfect information and, therefore, frequently our plans made with the best of intentions fail. When that happens, we should not despair, surrender, or blame others. We should accept the consequences, try to learn, and move forward.

'Twas a fine evening, until the water leaks from last week recurred just now. Three separate places in kitchen and bathroom. I've mopped up and jammed towels into what appear to be the entry points. Tomorrow I call the office -- again -- and tell them this time that if I slip and fall in the water they have allowed to seep onto my floors, I will be talking to a lawyer. (Which I will.) Maybe that'll get some action.

In the meantime I plan to stop at the local U-Haul office and get some prices for picking up and storing my possessions, shipping them, and the price of a small box-on-wheels that (I hope) I can tow with my most necessary possessions. It's past time to get the hell out of this pesthole.

126 I think I was born Conservative, despite being raised by Yellow Dog Democrats, abeit the OG types that turned into Reagan Democrats. But I was raised with the complete understanding that Catholics worshipped statues and the Republicans hated the workin' man. The nicest thing I ever heard about Republicans was that they loved rich people.

But I was born in 1963, and the fucking hippies and Women's Libbers kept me from being able to fully embrace the heritage of my people. I could tell they were lunatics before I left Kindergarten.

Yep, as far as any big show coming down here South. It was a big whopper, hit G4 level earlier, but the magnetic field was pointing in the wrong direction.

That's Bz, the component of the magnetic field pointing "vertically", perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. You want it to be negative, pointing down, and thus bucking the earth's field as it slams into it. That allows the resultant field lines to funnel particles right into the poles, giving the light show.

Now I know:
A) Some things I've got a hardened attitude about, others no longer matter.
B) I always felt that "drugs are bad, mmkay?", but I've seen that "if it doesn't affect anyone" usually, um, actually affects a lot of people, so I'm not as libertarian as I used to be.

211 An annual Pot Day on the Diag had started just before I got there, but I was in time to witness a "Cambodian People's Day" celebrating the Khmer Rouge.

If "our" side really cared about education, they'd require a very specific content course about Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Teach the facts--they killed 2 million people in Cambodia, a nation of about 8 million people. That's 25% of their population.

I'd especially love a rebuttal from fake Indian Elizabeth Warren, fake communist Bernie (who has 3 homes and is a multimillionaire), and Karen Bass (who is a fake mayor and a fake everything--she couldn't run a taco stand, much less a top 5 American city) of why this particular part of history shouldn't be taught.

212 I’d be skeptical of anybody who hasn’t modified some of their beliefs from say age 15 or 20 to age 40 to 50. That’s crazy. Some a little earlier, some a little later. Everyone learns at their own pace. Some people grow old, but they never grow up.

That’s a hallmark of the classic fuckhead, really. Stuck in Junior High. Permanently.

One of my first stirrings of skepticism was “environmentalists” were a lot different than the hunters and fishermen and outdoorsman guys I grew up around. Even the hard core leftists were big on barbecue and good eats.

Not the crunchy granolas, they were into weird foods and crystal healings and superstitions and seemed a little bit off somehow. I found it difficult to find genuine people, because that’s what Time-Life told me it was about. Trustafarians cosplaying as poor is easy when mommy and daddy can pay for your vagabond hippie lifestyle. The genuine hippies were pretty cool, they weren’t really into tie-dye and frying brain cells.

I know you guys make fun of Skeletor Carville. But, the fact remains his campaign strategy not only was effective, it has some of you convinced Clinton had a position. He had ONE position....to be president (and doggy style, but that's a separate issue).

Carville used to poll individual states. He'd find out their most important issue, and then send Clinton in to hammer home that issue. Some states he was diametrically opposed to other states. They did that in every battleground state, and Clinton (in comparison to "wouldn't be prudent at this juncture" Bush) he was easily the more popular candidate. Remember the media hammering home Bush's inexperience in grocery stores? That was part of highlighting Carville's strategy.

The trouble is they can see and predict the strength of a CME, but they can't see the direction of the magnetic field until it gets to an instrument that can measure it.

Though the article at the Sun says the victims were renting a home 8 miles from Disney World, and were shot there. By their raghead neighbor.

Though maybe it was still on Disney-controlled property? That "Reedy Creek" area that's in Florida but not, like some tourist-trap version of Vatican City?

The raghead was "known to police," and had been found not guilty of attempted murder back in 2021. Nice fellow; who'd have expected sudden onset jihadism?

Meanwhile, the Soviets (and I suspect now the Russians) were dumping their old sub reactors into the Arctic Ocean whole.

He did a lot of that with the "Prequels". That whole "Democracy dies with applause" thingy was squarely aimed at Bush. All of us didn't understand the degree that which Bush was an inept prick at the time, but that's another subject.

271 I'm totally against the UK's anti-free speech tyranny. But just to be clear: Enoch Burke was NOT arrested for misuse of pronouns; he was arrested for trespassing on school property after he was fired. And, yes, he was fired for misusing a transgender student's pronouns and for his general stance against transgenderism. But all of his arrests were for trespassing on private property. And Mario Nawfal is once again being disingenuous in his reportage.

274 Change in political attitudes over the years...well, POLITICS has changed over the years. It used to be that at least major national issues were about the budget split, 45% domestic-55% defense or vice versa. The corruption was not as widely known and nowhere near as obvious. The mainstream left were not to the left of the Weather Underground. And social issues were not anywhere at the level of "you must believe a person with male parts could have a baby".

279 And finally Dr. Thomas Sowell nails it when looking at the AWFLs

------------

"The virtue of Pride can best be described by the term: "moral ambitiousness." It means that one must earn the right to hold oneself as one's own highest value by achieving one's own moral perfection—which one achieves by never accepting any code of irrational virtues impossible to practice and by never failing to practice the virtues one knows to be rational—by never accepting an unearned guilt and never earning any, or, if one has earned it, never leaving it uncorrected—by never resigning oneself passively to any flaws in one's character—by never placing any concern, wish, fear or mood of the moment above the reality of one's own self-esteem. And, above all, it means one's rejection of the role of a sacrificial animal, the rejection of any doctrine that preaches self-immolation as a moral virtue or duty."

284 The Amherst thing is quite literally demonic.

I guess I'm old-fashioned, but crassly displaying every sexual perversion known to mankind to a bunch of teenage kids, when you're supposed to be acting in loco parentis, is evil. Very much aimed at the destruction of the family.

Christianity bases the Old Testament on the Jews and labels them the chosen people. Jesus is a Jew.

Jews are the Chosen People of the Old Testament (and a very angry and vengeful) God. They keep him happy. Kill off all the Jews, and the Old Testament God will come back. You don't want that.

And fuck the filibuster while we're at it.

297 Ok, yes, the gas bubble is standard treatment. My mom had a terrible time holding the position. She has neck and upper back issues.

She is terrified of being put out, and had the buckle put on her eye with only a local anesthesia. Her eyes are very deepest and it was an absolute nightmare for her and the surgeon.

Let them knock you out, if that's the next step! It's a pretty easy surgery.

All well over here - and the weather has actually been fairly nice (not as warm and humid as usual).

I was asleep when it happened but, apparently, the USS Lincoln Carrier Group transited through the Singapore Straights and the Straights of Malacca the night before last (if my figuring is correct). Wish I had been able to see it!

As for Haiku and Jell-O shots - count me in. Here's my entry - in light of the passage of the USS Lincoln in my vicinity:

Somebody got me a shirt that has a skull and crossbones on the back, except the bones are wrenches, so basically a skull and cross wrenches. It has my last name under it and says "If **** can't fix it we're screwed". Its a cool shirt. I am a machine whisperer. I lean over it and whisper "you will work, or I will fucking destroy you and you will come back as chinese cookingwear. Its funny when people come to see their bikes start for the first time. If we do a new motor for somebody who is doing their own install we want them to bring it back for the first time start up so I can check everything, carb jetting, timing, oil line routing, and most important to make sure the oil pump has oil and there is no air in the lines. The customer always asks "do you think it's gonna fire right up?" I'll say yeah I'm pretty sure because it won't like me when I'm angry. Usually without fail its running by the 2nd crank. It knows... it knows, lol.

An odd, crackbrained cat she was. She'd leap up and sit in your lap. If you moved your leg an inch, though, she'd growl at you -- but did not leave. The growl was on a rising note, as if she were saying, "Don't you DARE move! Any moment now, I'll EXPLODE --!"

52 Only saw the Northern Lights once, in 1969. August, a Wednesday night right before Woodstock. Nanuet, New York in a church parking lot on a high hill overlooking The NYS Thruway. Really brilliant, we stood and watched for at least an hour. My parents had seen them a number of times before growing up in Norway. Didn't realize then how special it was and that I might never see it again.

Fart field now rotating the right way. Still holding same total strength.

HPI (a measure of how much power is being dumped) is a measly 12 GW. Back in May of 2024 when it lit up down here, HPI was well over 100GW.

By comparison, while the measurements didn't exist back then, The Carrington Event probably hit 500GW -- could be as high as 1 TW.

The flesh of sea-fowl is generally too rancid to find much favour with fastidious palates. Sailors indeed eat the livers and hearts of the penguins, which are exceedingly palatable, but the black flesh of the body is rank and oily, and has rather a perfumed taste. Some voyagers, however, tell us, that eaten in ragouts, they are good as that made from a hare.

Around here, a couple of the counties use what they call AmbuBus which is a multi-patient transport bus to help stranded motorists in large pileups. Drivers with disabled vehicles are moved to safer locations like Convention Centers or churches as part of the county's Emergency Operations Plan. Since we have had multiple I40 closures due to shitty driving on snow this year already, the bus is getting quite a workout.

When you get to be 29, you have a decent handle on winter driving, but the idiots around you are the real threat. Even if you hold it together, some jackass can still slam into you.

I always give generous allowances in front, and will tap the brake often to keep jerkwads off my tail. You can see them get pissed and pass me, and then I laugh and say "See you in the ditch soon." Happens quite often.

I've seen two pileups up close. The first one was in front of me, I knew the stretch of highway and was tapping the brakes, clearing my tail, and easing down my speed when it happened and cars started bouncing all over the place. I was unscathed, the cars behind me had room to stop (also I was forcing them to slow down).

The other one was a pickup truck acting immortal losing it, hitting the guardrail and doing a donut right on the interstate and I just held it steady and eased down, passing right by the carnage. Crazy. I cancel and stay home these days.

240 Subzero temps makes one careful about such things. It ain’t so bad, but it would be if one were sick. A small bookbag will carry all sorts of good stuff. Flashlight, headlamp, extra batteries. Bic lighter, candles, firestarter, matches. Smokes if ya got ‘em. Sunglasses, small first aid.

Toys for kids, warm clothes, books & games to keep occupied. These days probably re-chargeable USB devices and backup batts. I’ve had lots of camp stoves, some that run on gas or diesel, but I always wanted to try the Sierra Zip stove, runs on pine cones, twigs, leaf litter etc with a small battery operated fan blower to get it hot.

Flights over the poles may need to be rerouted tonight, or fly at lower altitudes (requiring more fuel). That's because, for the first time since 2003, an S4 solar radiation storm is ongoing!

Solar particles and protons accelerated by an approaching magnetic shockwave (CME) are bombarding Earth. The more of those energized particles, the deeper into our upper atmosphere they can burrow.

Passengers and crew on polar flights may receive elevated doses of ionizing radiation, which can increase long-term health risks (including cancer).

This is also causing a high frequency shortwave radio blackout, which may pose some navigational challenges.

The same high-energy particles can cause problems for satellites

We were cutting across the Kancamagus Highway when it started coming down and the snow was we enough to freeze the road. Everyone slowed down and then just stopped. Driving was too dangerous.

And then we remembered we were in a van with a kick ass stereo and a shit load booze. So opened up the side door, cranked the tunes and threw a party until the road thawed. We showed up at the house we rented with considerably less booze than we started with.

The advantage of Coleman fuel (Naptha) is that it does not sour or spoil. I’ve found stoves with 20 or 30 year old Coleman fuel in them and works perfectly. Stand by or emergency use. Car gas is stinky and smelly and sooty in handling however.

"How they are stretching either of these laws to apply to people who protested in a church over the behavior of a religious leader is beyond me," Ellison added. (FOX news)

Quick Hits

Democrats are dodging the question, "Can a man become a woman?"

They won't say yes. They won't say no. They just won't answer.

democratsdodgewhatisawoman.jpg

"True Conservative" and professional homosexual Tim Miller of the Bulwark (of course) is having a sissyfit over anyone in the media even asking this "bullshit question." Quién es más sassy?


Transgender nosering is, get this, a mentally-ill violent extremist.

Tomorrow, leftists will be "Walking out of work" -- well, let's say they're walking out of the place that gives them paychecks for sitting on their asses and scrolling TikTok videos all day -- to "peacefully demand" that everyone in the Trump administration be impeached.

Don Lemon asked for "likes and subscribes" as he violated the KKK Act.

Mentally-ill leftwing women love firing up the cellphone and taking narcissistic video of themselves emoting and sobbing.


Virginia Democrats just declared most robberies -- and robbery is theft by force or coercion -- as non-violent, so they can justify releasing these "non-violent" robbers from prison or bail obligations.

They also have banned manual (by hand) recounts, because they intend to steal every election and don't want anyone checking up on them.

Oh, and they're following the Minnesota Model of allowing industrial-scale fraud.

Or maybe they understand, but they don't understand the goals and strategy. This is not just about Trump. The Left s trying to derail the entire anti-immigration program. They have been losing on this issue recently and in the past they appealed to "empathy" to align voters with those who want [cheap labor / social services client / D voters ]

They see this as their last stand. An all or nothing shot to get the public disgusted with Trump's tactics. In the past they controlled the narratives ("who will pick our crops", "dreamers", "family separation," "necessary for our economy,"...) but the public got fed up with the crime, low wages, and filth. Now they are trying to reclaim that narrative by pushing chaos to the max and blaming Trump.

It's semi-maybe-prostitution.

The guy will pay her upfront to go on the date, and he may be expecting something more than conversation and dinner as a result, but in this scheme the girl can take the money, go out on the date, and then decide to take a Uber home alone if she wants.

It's basically buying companionship for a few hours with no strings attached and possibly sex if she feels like it.

61 Fun fact: the first thing the Popular Front government did upon assuming power in early 1936 was open the prisons. A lot of Anarchists had been captured during the abortive uprising in Oviedo and they - and everyone else - were set free to unleash a massive wave of crime.

The Popular Front also launched investigations into the just-held election, and found "irregularities" in conservative provinces, requiring a re-vote and - you won't believe it - the revote came in heavily in favor of the Popular Front! What was a razor thing majority was now a super-majority.

Yay election investigations! And then the assassinations got rolling, street fighting and finally the murder of Jose Calvo Sotelo, which kicked off the July Rising.

The complete collapse of law and order spurred a reflexive surge of support for the Army, and the total chaos was why foreign governments hesitated to side with the existing government. There IS a book about it.

83 The problem with that girl's plan is

- If the guy is just looking to get laid, then great, she's a whore.
- If the guy is looking for long term, he will avoid her because she is making no investment, as she is a whore.

So she will only attract (a) "Johns", or (b) the desperate and unmarryable.

What a weird world. Women hold ALL the cards in life. Attractive women are going through life like Mario with 100 power-ups. Like that girl in Seinfeld at the movie theater.

But it is not enough for them, as whatever they have, they want more. It is not enough to get asked (begged) to go on dates, they now want "date prep" cash. They want to live life for free and then maybe toss you some snizz if they feel like it.

And then they wake up in their 30s with tits down to the belt line and eggs a runnin out and they blew it. Like lottery winners, they bust out and are just bitter hags. OK I am sorry but I am in a mood.

96 IMHO, the Dems are losing the black and hispanic vote. The black vote was also the heart of inner city voter fraud. This served the Ds and the Rs, as the Ds got the cities, and the Rs were not affected in the rural areas. They each had their own empires and worked together to maintain that system. It was in the "R's" interests to keep the Ds winning in the cities, as they were corrupt and willing to deal. They were not hard line commies, nor moderates, but corrupt and willing to horse trade as each party looted the nation.

But if the Ds lose the black voter fraud machines, then they lose it all. This also puts the quisling Rs at risk as the system will be disrupted and real conservatives might start winning. Or worse, the fraud gravy train might end.

103 “The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.” --Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

In part, "HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Less than half of Dauphin County-based state employees under the governor’s jurisdiction work in the office three days or more each week.

The figure came out late this afternoon, after Gov. Josh Shapiro’s (D) office put out a release announcing it ordered more state workers to return to office."

121 There's an old Chinese tale about a ruler having a deer brought into his court. And to the bureaucrats assembled, he asked, "Isn't this a very fine horse?" Several agreed, complimenting the features of the not-deer. Others were silent, or even stating the obvious thing in front of their eyes that it was a deer.

In the Chinese tale, the latter two groups were executed - much like communism, there was only room for true believers.

The same thing is going on here. Making a homoculus version of a woman. Y-Face, if you will. And denying there's any difference, obvious as they are, than to your own daughters. And if anyone spoke up, they were cancelled. Fired. Kicked out of school. Or forced into the locker rooms with the not-a-men.

151 For reference:
The tragedy of the commons is the concept that, if many people enjoy unfettered access to a finite, valuable resource, such as a pasturehot chick, they will tend to overuse it and may end up destroying its value altogether. Even if some users exercised voluntary restraint, the other users would merely replace them, the predictable result being a "tragedy" for all. The concept has been widely discussed, and criticized, in economics, ecology and other sciences.

There's a chance (30% or so), that it will flip. The CME, big wet plasma far from the Sun is just hitting us, and it has a complicated magnetic field. It can rotate around as it passes. If it gets significantly negative, it will light us up.

My people never owned slaves. They did fight to abolish slavery, though. For what should I feel guilt?

Likewise, my people never pushed Indians out of their own territories. Again, why should I feel guilty about that?

Should I apologize to the Natives for white people dragging them out of the stone age? They are victims of becoming modern people, living in the real world. Poor babies.

Not one black american, or indian american for that matter, has been a slave, nor are any of them kept out of any opportunity to thrive. They choose that for themselves. And there are many more poor white folk than folks "of color," so maybe it isn't skin color but choices.

Emails: Fauci Knew That Natural Immunity Far Surpassed the Non-Immunity Conferred by the Covid Non-Vaccine, But Lied to the Public Anyway and Fought for Mandated Vaccinations of the Already-Immune

Trust the Science, Science-Bigots.

Anthony Fauci privately acknowledged "impressive data" showed stronger immunity from a COVID-19 infection than vaccination while publicly pushing mandated shots, newly released documents show.

Former President Joe Biden's top pandemic response officials discussed a thorough study from Israel showing the superiority of natural infection in August 2021, simultaneous with the initiation of federal vaccine mandates via an Aug. 24 Pentagon memo, according to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by Protect the Public's Trust, indicating officials who helped compel COVID shots had contemporaneous scientific evidence they were unjustifiable for millions of Americans. The officials distorted the evidence in public statements, repeatedly saying vaccination is necessary for immunity.

"What does it say about our own institutions that, despite billions spent every year, Americans had to rely on Israeli research for their health information, and that our own officials tried to bury what didn't fit their preferred narrative?" Protect the Public's Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "There's been a lot of handwringing about reforms and personnel actions by the new leadership at HHS, but this is just more evidence that the public health bureaucracy was ripe for a thorough housecleaning."

The revelation comes amid an ongoing investigation under President Donald Trump's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary into deaths following the COVID vaccines in children and young adults. Further details could uncover whether people died from shots mandated by Biden administration officials aware of their redundancy for people with prior immunity.

"This is the evidence right here showing that our nation's scientific leaders were not acting scientifically, and there needs to be accountability," said Stephanie Edewaard Weidle, executive director of Feds For Freedom, to the DCNF. "We in the medical freedom fighting world, we already knew this, but to see it spelled out in these FOIA documents just makes it worse. People lost their jobs and their lives were turned upside down based on the argument that natural immunity was not enough."

Just the News:

The Biden administration grappled with research suggesting natural immunity was more effective than COVID-19 vaccination shortly before federal vaccine mandates in 2021, admitting the rigor of the massive Israeli study and worrying it might undermine its promotion of one-size-fits-all vaccination, newly released emails show.

The Freedom of Information Act production to Protect the Public's Trust, shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, gives the most compelling evidence to date that federal officials knew their pending mandates were scientifically shaky yet repeatedly asserted in public -- misrepresenting federal research -- that natural immunity couldn't match vaccine-acquired immunity.

The emails add heft to prior claims by a now-former Food and Drug Administration adviser, going back four years, that the feds ultimately rejected natural immunity as an exemption to vaccine mandates for bureaucratic reasons and kept pushing vaccines on all ages and conditions for the sake of simpler messaging, not science.

They also reaffirm the glaring lack of rigorous research by U.S. institutions on basic questions about SARS-CoV-2 and treatment outcomes, with many of the most important findings coming from abroad. The abnormally high risk of heart inflammation in young people post-vaccination, for example, emerged from Israeli data and institutions.

...

He also said Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told him at a 2023 meeting that the feds didn't target "high-risk groups" for vaccination because that was too "nuanced" and some at high risk wouldn't get jabbed unless everyone was told to do it.

...

The newly revealed emails show Fauci telling colleagues including Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky that the Israeli study of nearly 800,000 people, which got wide visibility in Science, was "rather impressive."

The study, then a preprint that hadn't gone through peer-review, showed natural immunity was 13 times more protective than Pfizer vaccination against reinfection and 27 times more protective against symptomatic COVID.

...

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, then a medical professor, mocked the feds for "fishing" for a study to justify its COVID policy on Fox News.

21 I'm still up here talking to myself, Ace.

I had natural immunity to Rubella (German Measles) as titers showed with our first son while pregnant. Two years later titers showed that my immunity had worn off. I had the MMP the day after he was born.

While I was not told til my 2nd trimester I was horrified, as I knew a girl born deaf due to her mother having Rubella in her first trimester.

Supposedly I had a "light case" of Rubella when one of my brothers was born and I was a toddler. Due to his birth no one probably paid a ton of attention to me as I was a healthy and crazy little girl.

Some vaccines for childhood are fine. The Hepatitis one I argued against in the 1990's. Had our sons take that vax before college because a pediatrician I trusted advised. No regrets.

I would NOT take any mRNA vaccine, ever. No worries about that at all. The RSV is one and I think RFK,Jr took that off the list.

The ideology was coming from the other side. And it was a cover for social control and looting vast sums of government money.

I used to joke about the broad spectrum inoculation from swimming in open water.

After research, you are basically restating the Hygiene Hypothesis or Old Friends Hypothesis. Your thinking works if children have access to the coffee pot, but adults are largely unaffected due to immunities picked up earlier in life.

Toxic bacteria is still toxic bacteria. Exposure to small doeses at a time doesn't improve your immune system.

107 The Reagan library held a year-end event in December 2019. Lots of A and B list names gathered from around the world. The X was working it. Mid-January, when COVID was thought to be still in Europe, she came down with a nasty flu that damn-near killed her.

Little tried to convince her to go to the ER. Took her a month to recover, and most of that time, she was bedridden. Her refusal to go to the ER probably saved her life.

When I finally saw her, she looked like hell. Very thin. Had a scarf around her head. I asked Little about it after she left. He explained her hair fell out while she was sick. Jeeeezz.

Through all of this, my son spent hours in close quarters with her. Never got so much as a sniffle. When the lock down madness happened, I figured he and I were already exposed.

I also thought the X would have valuable antibodies in her blood that might serve others. Maybe there would be a national blood drive to meet this pandemic head on. I miss the days when I had hope in government health institutions....

I recall Bret Weinstein saying he was very excited when he first learned about mRNA research, saying the breakthroughs that could come from it was extraordinarily useful.

And then he saw what they were doing with the Covid.

The risk, I suppose, is it stays in the hands of monsters, but it could be like nukular energy, where we ought to be doing so much more with it, but we can't because people freak out when they hear nukular.

143 Interesting about aspirin (I am still not being productive with stuff around the house).MLK Day!

In WWI 1918 Influenza, aspirin was new. No antibiotics, either. Unfortunately docs did not dose well & basically killed soldiers with aspirin, trying to control the cytokine storm of inflammation. One doc used baking soda in water. His patients survived, whereas the patients on aspirin became acidotic.

Inflammation is important to keep down & avoid organ damage in flu or stupid covid, which I have had at least twice.

I will now take aspirin.

In a normal virus a bit of a fever is good with neutrophils (white cells) eating the virus. Our sons had a mystery virus of no symptoms but super high fevers in elementary school. I am pretty sure I was alone telling sons to imagine PAC MEN as their neutrophils as I dosed them and cold compresses to their foreheads. They would agree their mother was never boring but pretty weird.

This is called phagocytosis.Not faggy at all

Aspirin did work for birth control to keep one between my knees (not really as I did not date much). I read it or to take it with a Coke. Something to do with a Coke (which does cure headaches with Advil). The End.

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory, and caffeine is a vasodilator (makes the capillaries expand). Both of those help with headaches. I had a GF who would do both in large amounts for her migranes.
Nicotine can help too, it can reduce the allergic response that can lead to a bad reaction (I think cytokines but I forget) that will also lead to inflammation.

And being a vengeful man, he circled back to imply the Trump administration anti-LGBTQ...("In addition to purging leadership at NIH and FDA, Kennedy ordered cuts to a range of divisions focused on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases — the area where Fauci first gained prominence as a leader of the government’s response to the AIDS epidemic. The moves follow a crackdown already underway on grants related to Covid and vaccine hesitancy.")

Harmeet Dhillon Prosecuting Church-Terrorists Under the KKK Act?

The KKK Act -- an act designed to criminalize the terrorism of the Klan -- makes it a federal offense to stop someone from exercising their civil rights by violence, threat, or force.

These dick-sucking demons, for example, might be prosecuted under the KKK Act.

Don Lemon has a new defense: If you object to him disrupting your attempts to pray to your God, you are exhibiting "white supremacy entitlement."

Don Lemon, who violated church-goers civil rights, now simpers that you musn't violate his civil rights to offend other people's civil rights.

Mary Katharine Ham
@mkhammer

19h

Activist narcissists will violate every boundary there is, interfere with your peaceful assembly, stop your worship, and then lecture you about the proper observance of both the First Amendment and your faith. Political DARVO.

"DARVO" is the antifa tactic: "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender."

Over the holidays, Tim Walz fumed at the hypothetical possibility that ICE might pick up criminals exiting a church.

Where is his outrage now?


Below: The DOJ is looking through emails sent by Minnesota officials. They seem to be coordinating with left-wing antifa-style groups to track and attack ICE agents.

That, of course, is a conspiracy against federal law enforcement.


Kurt Schlichter responds to the blackpillers who never stop claiming we're being sold out.

Kurt Schlichter
@KurtSchlichter

Let me do the competent lawyer thing again.

No, the DOJ has not arrested anybody yet. You are absolutely correct that that is not happened yet. That's because this isn't a TV show and the DOJ under @AGPamBond and @AAGDhillon are attempting to actually build cases rather than get one new cycle of coverage. Yes, there's evidence out there. There's video tapes. That's good evidence. But the existence of good evidence is not building a case. This is going to be one where they're going to face a judge and a jury pool that is biased against them, so they're going to need to do every single thing perfectly. That doesn't happen in five seconds.

Stop with this crap. This black pilling nonsense is freaking idiotic. You want to use the legal system, at least that's what you say. Well if that's what you mean then it's going to take time and all your frustration and crying and whining about it doesn't change that fact. If you want to do it right, you've got to do it right. That doesn't mean doing it fast.

Just stop it.

Conservatives have been out of power for our entire lives. And yes, that includes when "Republicans" are in power. We've defaulted to a standard operating procedure of crying "betrayal" and prophecizing doom.

But this is wrongheaded when we actually have people in office who actually listen to us and agree with us. The blackpilling is politically toxic, as it teaches us that any effort is pointless because we are doomed to lose, and on personal level, it must by psychologically destructive.

I have my own problems with Trump but the idea that he's "selling us out" on his signature issue is silly. From time to time he may be too cautious -- for example, many of us are wondering why he hasn't already invoked the Insurrection Act -- but he's not "selling us out," Bush style.

Meanwhile, even the NYT admits that blue cities and states are causing all of this chaos and violence themselves by not simply turning over violent repeat-criminal illegal aliens to ICE when the government politely asks for them.

I still remain confident (w/o knowing for sure) that these KKK-era laws also have provisions for jury (and judge) nullification of charges.

Where they acquit against all the evidence merely because of their illegal sympathies for the defendant.

There has to be a provision that allows charges for civil rights violations which can be brought in a different jurisdiction.

41 Don Lemon is now what, a low-rated podcaster? It's very easy to imagine him focus-grouping with some advisors who urge him to do outrageous things to get attention. It's all so predictable that it's almost hard to get mad at him because the stakes are so small and he's such a feckless little twat. At the societal level, of course, it's very dangerous to do what they did and attack religion, but for him personally, it's all about the rage clicks.

This argument only works while they're after violent criminals, and the more time they waste on that, the longer it is before they get to the bulk of the problem, illegal aliens that aren't generally breaking additional laws, aside from padding elections for the Democrats and keeping blue states blue.

94 And for those who complain, "but the DOJ isn't doing anything."

Note well the case of the 6 US attorneys who resigned.

They were trying to take a six-month paid vacation.
That is, use their accrued leave as vacation time--rather than, resign and be paid fully out--thus, staying "employed."
Two pay checks.

Because, that would have prevented the hiring of a replacement (without additional funding, they can't; they've only appropriations for that job.).

And it makes clear his announcement of the fraud investigation in MN wasn't a kick-off of a bigger investigation but was done in order to "get ahead of" the actual investigation.
That is, by him opening it, he gets to control the pace.
To slow it down to dead stop.
Which his "vacation" was going to drag to a stand-still until mid-summer at the earliest.

And the entire DOJ is rotted through with those kind of employees, lying in wait.
That anything is happening at all is a miracle.

I know in our church there are protections in place. I don't know what they are, but I am assured they are protecting us in Mass since the last tranny murders.

I also know I would run into a knife or machete or gun to protect innocent grandchildren. I have no doubt.I would be a distraction. I've lived a great life and would die in a second for them.

A lot of churches have security teams and/or actual off duty cops. Most spree killers want to run up the count so they tend to avoid such churches and look for easy targets. Bringing in a backpack to service and being some dweeb not known to church members is likely to get some attention.

As long as the doors are shut to the outside but can be opened from the inside at key egress points (think fire laws compel this anyway), wise to shut them during services.

And many of those losses are being appealed. Those resist judges are losing on appeal over 50 percent of the time and at Scotus 84 percent of the time.

Scotus losses are permanent as they set precedent in a way that applies to all circuits and districts, not just the red ones.

DEI Resist injunctions etc. are being tossed/dissolved at a high rate because appellate courts can see no legal reasoning behind most of those decisions.

If they expect applause for tweets and television appearances in the meantime, they'll have to look elsewhere. I've lived with the gap between Republican words and deeds for decades.

Because teh GOP was in on it. They had no intention of resisting because that would interfere with their grift.

Trump checked out and figured out it is easy to do a hostile takeover of an existing party than it is to stand up a new one. UK is an example of that. So he is starting from the administration and picking off the GOPe as he goes. Sen Cassidy in Lousiana got blindsided by Trump endorsing a new female face to replace that treacherous snake.

Cassidy's paymasters in Big Pharma and Big Medicine are already irritated that Sec. Kennedy is destroying decades of their nasty lobbying in only one year.

I understand all that, but the key is screening people coming in to identify the unknown/dweebs/potential risks. Whether or not the doors are locked doesn't seem to matter. A potential bad actor is actually more likely to get past whatever screening is in place when the doors are unlocked and there is greater traffic flow.

Like the cartel judge there in MN with her illegal "I order the federal government not to do that which is already prohibited." And then flat-out lied that the protestors were not attacking ICE.

But, she knows it will be misread by the smellies as "ICE can't arrest protestors no matter what."

IDK if the DOJ has even appealed it.

But, it was kinda funny for ICE to say, "yeah, we're already not doing that which is prohibited--but we're for sure going to arrest those who get violent or impede. That ruling doesn't apply."

After storming the church, William Kelly taunted Bondi.

“Yesterday, I went into a church with Nikema Armstrong and I protested these white supremacists!” he said. “The pastor of the church is a f*cking ICE leader in the city?!”

That's not a Mid-Term Prediction.

It is a prediction of the final tally of Representative apportionment once the Illegal Aliens are ushered out for the 2030 census.

So, +30 for Red States if numbers of illegals deported hold steady at 2025 rates over 4 years of Trump.

That does not account for a Dem admin re-flooding the zone for 2 years, though.

Nope, I have faith in people, not systems which have failed us. GOPe has faith in systems. But if you note, Trump doesn't play that game, he attacks which is why GOPe doesn't like it.

So, I have more faith in Trump and his present crew than I do in the average black pill commenter here. Things are moving on the board but if you only look at the bright shiny things that even the conservative media presents, because it sells, then you might be depressed.

Always go to primary sources if you can for information and be guarded on any secondary source. Especially the rage clicks on social media and other places.

We cannot get back to the past which is an unrealistic goal in the first place, but we can advance, not wring our hands, and move forward.

Not really, in 2007 and 2008 I processed claims for unpaid wages having to do with the housing bust, and it seems the first workers to get stiffed in a collapse are the illegals -- There is a perception that the illegals won't go to the law to get their money.
And that is true, to a point.
They are the most disposable

On the other hand a friend of mine had two contractors suddenly "go on vacation back to Mexico for a week or two" at the beginning of this winter, and never came back to complete the job he hired them to do, so there is some action happening in the lower end of the trades.

257 "During the BLM riots there was a driver in TX who shot one. I think he was former military or active duty. I never found out how that resolved itself. It ouldnt have surprised me if he'd gone to jail
Posted by: 496 at January 19, 2026 05:16 PM (l/++U)"

There were a lot of drivers that shot people. The one guy in a car in TX, if I recall, got jammed up but later got off, as it was a pretty blatant case of a rioter carrying an AK and pointing it at him.

Another dude in TX on foot smoked a commie trying to brain him with a skateboard and was not charged.

Someone got hosed in Seattle; random nobody driving to/from work when a crowd tried to beat him. But you have to expect the blue shitholes will always charge you. Either don't live there, or don't defend yourself... or DO defend yourself and understand the local government is party to the assault and act accordingly.

Note that as things dial up, antifa starts having guys with firearms waiting to shoot drivers. Dude in... SLC? Got shot that way. Stay away from commies unless it's helicopter time.

Trump won 84 percent of cases at Scotus last year. DEI is dying. Troonism is likely to be rolled back at Scotus. Our military is back pulling off missions that scare the shit out of our adversaries.

This blackpiller knew the Don was serious because he had Musk and Homan on board during the campaign - then brought on an All Star Cast. Trump has always been terrible at judges and DOJ appointments, so I knew that Law & Order would be Trump's kryptonite.

I'm blackpilled because I can compartmentalize and recognize Wins and Losses, and celebrate and whine accordingly. The cultural rot has been going on for generations and the basic ingredients for a successful Constitutional Republic has deteriorated or has withdrawn into nothingness.

The US would need a war time consigliere who would surrender his dictatorial role once an achievable objective has been made. That ain't happening. Thus the blackpill.

Biden packed them in, skill or absolutely none, and years to work or not. It was a plan.

Now, as of late 2025, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is experiencing a historic surge in retirements, with the retirement application inventory (the "queue") closing in on 50,000 applications awaiting finalization.

If they can't run the federal government as they please, they'll destroy it and run it through the ghost government. It was always the plan for Trump administrations.

However, the federal agencies are now incompetent after more than a decade of nonsence & there's little chance of recouping.

You have to look at that from a current events perspective. A vast majority of DC employees learning the term "down sizing" live in Fairfax, Arlington, and Prince William counties, Virginia. They don't live in a vacuum. Everyone they come in contact with will get the story of how they were "unfairly" discarded by the current administration and so on down the line. They'll leave out the part about redundancy and incompetence, and partisan.

As an example. I have a friend who owns a catering business that serves that region, and they do a lot of those cocktail parties we love to hate. She has always been a Conservative, or at least right leaning person. NOW, however, the catering jobs are waning. The griping of her customers about the current administration is incessant, and she likes alot of these people regardless of their politics. She sides with them now.

Yep. Our country was set up on vicinage. That is because colonists during the later stages before independence were hauled up to courts in England or Nova Scotia at Halifax, a major British military base to be tried. So our Constitution requires people to be tried in the district where they committed the crime with a jury drawn from that location. And that means a local DA has to oversee charges, the grand jury, etc. And leftist blue shithole senators are blocking any Trump nominees by the blue slip procedure in the Senate Judiciary. That means that under the existing law, the judges in shithole blue states that got those seats due to the blue slip policy winnowing out conservatives, then pick the DA (Trump is challenging that in court as that law runs afoul of recent court decisions on appointments). See NJ and VA for those examples.

323 So our Constitution requires people to be tried in the district where they committed the crime with a jury drawn from that location. And that means a local DA has to oversee charges, the grand jury, etc."

Now you see the genius in Trump appointing a nation-wide prosecutor for exactly these crimes.

Sweat the local retards with a full fleet of Process Is The Punishment stunts, then have them turn on their out-of-state benefactors and roll a RICO somewhere more friendly to Just Justice.

Posted by: 496

It is. Yes, it is illegal under U.S. federal law to knowingly hire or continue to employ an individual who is not authorized to work in the United States. This is a key provision of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986.

So that's why the US State & Labor Departments gave out certain visas like trading cards. And that's also why another branch of the Federal gov. created Temporary Protected Status.

And why no one or no agency involved with Maryland seemed to get in trouble for the massive bridge collapse killing several foreign labors working up on the bridge's deck.

"Protesters" Now Assaulting Random People on the Streets of Minneapolis Hunting for ICE Agents and Invading Churches

Major Error: I had intended to fix a typo in this post, but I accidentally put it back into draft. So apparently this post was only up for five minutes, and there was no new content on the blog until 1:30.

Sorry. I'm going to put this post back up for a while.

...


When leftists passed the FACE Act, to make it illegal to protest outside an abortion clinic, jackass Republicans went along with it, but insisted that it also make disrupting/"protesting" a church service as well. (I say they're jackasses because they didn't block this law entirely.)

Leftists are now violating the FACE Act that Biden used to throw peaceful protesters in jail.

LOCK.

THEM.

UP.

Before that: Via John Sexton, the DOJ has subpoenaed Walz, Frey, and other Minnesota officials. They're looking for evidence that these men are violating federal law by conspiring to block federal law enforcement efforts.


DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents

The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.

Subpoenas are likely to be issued in the probe, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

...


Walz and Frey, both Democrats, have vocally denounced the federal deployment to the Twin Cities, accusing federal agents of creating chaos and undermining public safety through aggressive tactics.

Earlier this week, Frey said the federal deployment had created a situation that was "not sustainable."

"We're in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street," Frey said. "We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another."

...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who visited Minneapolis with FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday, appeared to make a vague reference to the investigation earlier this week.

"Walz and Frey- I'm focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It's a promise," Blanche wrote on X earlier this week.

They also should be investigated for refusing to arrest antifa and other violent anarchists for attacking citizens in the street:

Stephen L. Miller
@redsteeze

So to catch you up on events:

- Protest group chased two innocent dudes out of a diner.

- Attacked an innocent guy on the street who was actually with them.

- Harassed an innocent guy with an SUV and demanded to see his ID.

- Blocked an innocent guy because of his rental car plates

- Have now stormed into church services.

And I haven't seen a single Minneapolis police officer in any of the previous week's video footage.

A mob of extremists raided a church, hunting a pastor they claimed was secretly an ICE agent.

This is insane. It's also illegal.



Andrew Kolvet
@AndrewKolvet

Three thoughts for Don Lemon:

1 - He's an unserious clown.

2 - He would have never barged into a Mosque and live-streamed a "protest" if Muslims were involved. This was a direct attack on Christians.

3 - This is what a FACE Act violation is:

"FACE Act violations involve using force, threats, or physical obstruction to interfere with access to places of worship. The FACE Act makes it illegal to intimidate, injure, or obstruct patients, providers, or religious attendees."

Don Lemon and his comrades deserve to be investigated and charged.

Lemon is now talking tough to the "right wing fake media" insisting he didn't violate the FACE act because he was Making a Journolizm, but his statements before he illegally invaded the church make it clear that he was just another scumbag antifa protester. Just one not wearing a mask.

This makes it cleat that Lemon was present as part of the "protest," not a disinterested "journalist." The woman he's kissing is the lead organizer of the illegal protest.


The organizer of the event -- a lawyer who should definitely be prosecuted -- thanked Lemon for joining the protest. And, I guess, for kissing her fat face.

churchdisruption.jpg

Chuck Ross lays out the case that Lemon is a part of the illegal protest, not just a "chronicler."

Disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon colluded with anti-ICE activists now under investigation for storming a Minnesota church on Sunday--a "clandestine" operation that Lemon helped keep secret ahead of time before publicizing it once it began.

Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023 over mistreatment of female colleagues, accompanied Minneapolis lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong on "Operation Pull Up" at Cities Church in Saint Paul to protest the ICE shooting earlier this month of 37-year-old Renee Good. According to Armstrong, the operation targeted Cities Church because an associate pastor is allegedly the acting director of Saint Paul's ICE office.

"Pull up" is black slang for get into someone's face, challenge them to a fight, or to threaten them.


"We show up somewhere that is a key location," Armstrong told Lemon in an interview prior to the event. "They don't expect us to come there. And then we disrupt business as usual."

Lemon, who kissed Armstrong on the cheek at the beginning of their interview, accompanied the activist and others, including Saint Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen and members of Black Lives Matter Minneapolis, from its staging site in a Dollar General parking lot to the church. At the church, Armstrong and her cohort disrupted the service with shouts of "ICE Out!" and other slogans. The pastor targeted in the operation was not present at the church on Sunday.

The Department of Justice is investigating the incident, and there are growing calls on social media to arrest Lemon. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon said Sunday that she is investigating the incident for a potential violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which makes it illegal to block access to houses of worship. Dhillon also took a swipe at Lemon, writing that his "pseudo journalism" is not protected by the First Amendment.

"You are on notice!" she wrote.

Lemon responded to Dhillon's remarks, distancing himself from Armstrong's organization.

...

A review of Lemon's live feed shows he was an enthusiastic supporter of "Operation Pull Up," even as he at times denied being a participant.

Lemon opened his live stream saying he had conducted "some reconnaissance" and had been speaking to an organization "that's gearing up for resistance and protest." Lemon said he had been "pleasantly surprised seeing the community coming together" in the wake of Good's shooting.

"These are resistance protesters that are planning an operation that we're going to follow them on," he said. "I can't tell you exactly what they're doing." But he described it as an operation "where they surprise people, catch them off guard, and hold them to account."

"Because they are strategizing, I don't want to get too much of their information there," said Lemon, also admitting that he "turned my camera off" at one point to avoid publicizing the "secret" plans.

The "journalist" turned off his cameras so as not to reveal his "subjects'" plans and strategy.

That doesn't sound like a "journalist."


He thanked Armstrong for inviting him to join the event. After the operation, Armstrong thanked "all of the activists who showed up + independent journalists," listing Lemon and others.

Inside the church, Lemon sought to cast himself as a neutral journalist observing the foray.

...

But moments later, Lemon praised the tactics of "Operation Pull Up."

"That's what I believe when I say everyone has to be willing to sacrifice something," he said. "You have to make people uncomfortable in these times. You have to be willing to go into places and disrupt and make people uncomfortable."

Read the whole thing. I mean Harmeet Dhillon. She should read the whole thing and write up an arrest warrant based on it.

18 On Minneapolis police, they used to have something like 800 or 900 officers. They're legally required to have around 750 officers. The city has been ignoring the law and letting the city get by with only 500 or 600 officers. Now another 100 officers or so are taking advantage of Walz' new family leave program (funded by a new 1% payroll tax to help drive workers & businesses from the state). The program can give them something like 20 weeks off so they can avoid the riot season.

38 Illegal aliens provide bodies for congressional representation, with or without voting. They also are a conduit to steal billions of taxpayer dollars nationally, and the democrat party is taking a large cut of these funds and transferring it interstate in order to fund candidates and get out the vote efforts across the country. One of the biggest of these conduits is in Minnesota, which is why Walz was picked as VP candidate.

Without these activities, the democrat party will cease to exist. They will kill to hold on to them.

One of the most alarming realities that has been revealed, notably during Trump's first Presidential campaign, is that in Democrat-controlled cities, the police are not coming. They'll stand and watch peaceful conservatives or anyone else get mobbed and beaten, and only step in when the non-crazy people defend themselves. Or, as in Minneapolis, disappear like little bitches altogether. These are their orders.

Some kind of communist paradigm at work here.

_____________________________

This brings back an MLK memory. Back when they were first lobbying for Martin Luther King Day to be a thing, I was living in New Hampshire at the time. NH was one of the last states to accept the new holiday. So, whenever I traveled to other states (Massachusetts, NY, Vermont) I could count on my car being vandalized due to the NH plates. MLK Day hijinx cost me four separate deductibles (so $2,000)...and usually some snide comment from the minority police officers if they bothered to respond to my call at all.

Those are my only fond memories of MLK Day. And, going forward, I made an effort to work harder on that particular holiday instead of taking a day off.

However, seems obvious the crowd was itching for a response, such as Don Lemon telling the pastor to not push him , when you can clearly see the pastor is leaning away while Lemon is aggressively in his face.

This is why we need arrests soon: there has to be a clear message that churchgoers won’t be bla of or defending themselves, as local police have done repeatedly with other non-protesters who are attacked (see comment about Nick Sortor above).

They are only carrying it off in blue states this time. Let them stew as most of MNPLS and St Paul implictly support these thugs.

The optics are horrible for the Dems, riots all designed to protect thieves and criminals from being removed. And attacking churches instill disgust, not sympathy.

Same reason all of a sudden that the BLM riots dropped out of sight before the 2020 elections. Normies don't like that shit and they are blaming Dems, not the GOP for it.

Good point. But, they will not suffer or be made penniless like the Jan 6 martyrs.

Because the left will protect them with legal defense funds. They won't pay a dime for their defense, and they won't spend any time in pre-trial confinement, because they will be released with no bail, or their bail will be paid by a NGO.

So...

We must either find a way to strike at these NGOs and take them out somehow... Or create our own parallel legal defense funds for our own when ours get arrested.

We are on the same team. I say this that any church had NOTHING to do with the stupid lesbian getting shot blocking ICE.

I have no problem, at all, defending or giving my life to save my grandchildren, sitting on the pew next to me. In fact, I have even thought of this (which I consider to be sad) in the event a tranny with a gun comes in firing.

I simply want to spare my grandchildren. They are too young for violence & fear & I want to keep them this way.

If you wanted details of me defending my faith, you should ask a crowd of 300 in FL what I did when the main branch of that denomination wanted gays in the pulpit. I never thought I'd have to defend my faith IN CHURCH. Yet I did.

Don't read what I said as skewed that I am a coward, as I have no doubt I will die to protect.

Three, the money that funded the fraud is from the taxpayers.

So... how exactly is this going to work? Us taxpayers should turn ourselves in for unknowingly funding a insurrection in Minnesota? Really?

Illinois Governor (and Possible Presidential Candidate) JB Pritzker Signs Law Sealing Criminal Records to Protect Illegals from Deportation by the Feds

And also, as many people observe, to stop people from immediately looking up the criminal histories of the next scumbag to kill an innocent citizen. No more "arrested 58 times previously" headlines in Illinois.

They won't stop crime. In fact, they'll promote it.

But they will stop you from noticing crime.

Illinois Governor Signs Clean Slate Act to Seal Nonviolent Records
Last updated

Jan 18

Governor JB Pritzker signed the bipartisan Clean Slate Act on January 16, automating the sealing of nonviolent criminal records for about 1.7 to 2.2 million eligible residents. It covers misdemeanors after two years, certain felonies after three or more, and petty offenses twice yearly, while excluding serious crimes like murder, sex offenses, and DUIs--law enforcement keeps full access. Supporters like Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth call it justice and redemption, citing higher wages and lower recidivism; critics including Republican lawmakers argue it protects repeat offenders and burdens background checks. The law phases in from June 1, 2026, with a task force monitoring impacts through 2034.

Commissioner Sean Morrison
@SeanMMorrison

Jan 17

JB Pritzker and Illinois Democrats passed laws allowing millions of criminal convictions to be sealed.

This isn't "reform" it's protecting criminals over citizens.

The result?
• Employers can't fully vet who they hire
• Landlords can't properly screen renters
• Businesses can't assess real risk
• Citizens lose basic transparency and protection from scammers

Public safety depends on truth and accountability, not hiding criminal histories to satisfy ideological talking points.

Once again, Illinois democrats puts ideology first, and everyday citizens pay the price.

A crucial piece of Reconstruction-era legislation ... making it a federal crime to interfere with civil rights, allowing presidential use of the military, and holding state officials accountable for civil rights violations, all under the umbrella of enforcing the 14th Amendment.

Key Provisions & Significance:
Federal Enforcement: It made interfering with voting rights and other civil liberties a federal offense, targeting Klan violence like intimidation, conspiracy, and masked terrorism.

Presidential Power: Authorized the President (Ulysses S. Grant) to use federal troops to enforce the law and suspend habeas corpus if necessary.

Holding Officials Accountable: Made state officials liable in federal court

As I read it, it's ongoing in the sense that after a certain period of time, certain convictions are sealed. So if you're convicted of Crime X that's eligible for sealing after 3 years, then after 3 years it's sealed. If you later commit another crime, that wouldn't get sealed until the time for that crime elapsed.

Later on, oh say 20+ years later, he attempted to renew that license again, and Illinois put an alert out that he had 'issues' in Illinois that needed to be addressed and couldn't renew until those issues were resolved.

We attempted to take care of things, but Illinois rejected every attempt and he was never able to renew his license after that.

186 If you want some amusement, go to Minneapolis Reddit, which is entirely controlled by anti-ICE people.

The top posting at the moment:

Is anyone else in the ICE war zone saddened and disappointed by how few family and friends have reached out with concern, caring, or even interest?

I'm seeing this across my circles. Folks are saying "nobody's even bothering to call or text." It's hard to know whether it's shame, fear, or sympathy with ICE.

I can say that in a lot of cases this is likely to quickly become the last straw. The uncomfortable Thanksgiving with Uncle Fred is going to become, "I'm never sitting around a table with that prick again."

But even worse, many who are mildly supportive, but living in a different cosmos are going to be written off as a callous waste of time. Perhaps it's ignorance. We're finding that even suburban neighbors have no idea how active ICE is within less than a mile of their homes. (Just look at the daily Iceout maps!)

197 Well, this won't affect Chicago. Their CHUDs don't get convicted of things in the first place. It's all just catch and release for non-whites already.

But Fatty Ding Dongs just gave the green light to every CHUD in Illinois.

Which sucks, because people fleeing from CHUDs won't feel safe in IL at all for much longer, so they can't just go to their own hinterlands. They'll come here instead, and elect some gargantuan billionaire nepot to unleash battalions of Aztec street gladiators to chase my kids around with machetes.

Deport the politicians and have them apply for re-entry.
Put the politicians in jail (as they did citizens Jan6) and have them (their expensive lawyers) prove why they should be released.

If states like Illinois and Virginia (and the whole west coast) decide "nahh brah, we're going to facilitate foreign invasion" then they're not states.

Then we figure out whether to treat the disloyal counties as Indian Reservations or as enemy colonies.

In Dec 2024 one of my late brother's best friends, & a friend of mine, answered my email with photos of grands,that "He was sure I was as horrified as he was that Trump won." Due to "women's healthcare."

I could have lied about my vote but I didn't. He knew from his mother that I supported his daughter's abortion due to the baby having ancephalopathy a decade ago. At 20wks he had to drive her from WV to IL "in a blizzard." I told him it was good that she got care there as they were more experienced with this type of procedure. He knows I am anti-abortion. I have to admit I don't know what I'd do if my baby only had part of her brain.

I have known him since he was 7yrs old to my 9yrs. Somehow he & his younger sister have become radical haters of anyone, including me, who voted for Trump. We are all Nazi, I guess.

I wrote a very nice email back, explaining some of his crap, and that must have been the end.

No great loss, as I haven't seen him since my brother's funeral. Our families were close.

As Part of the VP Candidate Vetting Process, Kamala Harris's Staff Asked Josh Shapiro If He Was a Double Agent for Israel

People whose only loyalty is to a resurrected Soviet Union sure seem overly bothered by "dual loyalty" paranoia.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was already irritated by what he describes as "unnecessarily contentious" questions from the team vetting him to be Kamala Harris's running mate when a senior aide made one final inquiry: "Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?"

The question came from President Biden's former White House counsel Dana Remus, who was a key member of Harris's vice-presidential search team.

Shapiro, one of the most well-known Jewish elected officials in the country--and one of at least three Jewish politicians considering a run for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination--says he took umbrage at the question. "Had I been a double agent for Israel? Was she kidding? I told her how offensive the question was," Shapiro writes in his forthcoming book, Where We Keep the Light, a copy of which The Atlantic obtained ahead of its release on January 27.

The exchange became even more tense, he writes, when Remus asked whether Shapiro had ever spoken with an undercover Israeli agent. The questions left the governor feeling uneasy about the prospect of being Harris's No. 2, a role that ultimately went to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. After Harris and Walz lost to Donald Trump, many Democrats were critical of her decision to bypass Shapiro, the popular governor of the nation's largest swing state. In his book, Shapiro says that the decision may not have been fully hers; he says he had "a knot in my stomach" throughout a vetting process that was more combative than he had expected. Shapiro wrote that he decided to take his name out of the running after a one-on-one meeting with Harris that featured more clashes, including about Israel.

The Biden/Harris "antisemitism envoy" objected to the question.

Should we also ask Muslims if they are loyal to "the Caliphate"? Actually, question retracted. We certainly should.

26 "The exchange became even more tense, he writes, when Remus asked whether Shapiro had ever spoken with an undercover Israeli agent."

Unless the agent disclosed their undercover status to Shapiro, how could he possibly know? Seems like both a stupid and a setup question (squares with Democrats, so ... maybe.)

Sure, he wasn't chosen (mostly) because he was Jewish in a party that's crawling with vocal anti-semites. But I doubt he was asked whether he was an agent of Israel.

63 Funny story from Portland - half the Portland city council is affiliated, officially or unofficially, with the Democratic Socialists of America, which hates Israel.

They are thinking of passing a city ordinance forbidding anyone in Portland from selling arms to Israel, and kicked the only representative of a Jewish publication off of an online press conference denouncing Israel.

It turns out that the big star for the Portland Trailblazers at the moment is Israeli and has served in the IDF, and these people haven't made a peep about it.

Apparently they aren't feeling politically powerful enough yet to start denouncing Portland's basketball team.

71 The normalization of Jew-Hate/Israel-Hate is probably a combination of a few things. One of course is the importation of Jew-haters for purposes of voting, and a second is the emergence of Israel as a bulwark against the post-modern lunacy that has gripped the left. Israelis are patriotic, fight for their country, and are relatively religious...all things that the left despises!

How come this sub holds rando leftists to higher standards than the president and his admin? Don Lemon protests against a church a *now* you care about the law? 

the preacher is an ICE field office manager. This is not citizens attacking citizens, this is citizens attacking feds/gestapo at a place he thinks he's safe, just like he does to vulnerable people every day.

It amuses me how you think your nation is such a glass house a reporter filming something you don't like is communism and in the batshit scenario it was you'd consider that a threat.

You may not like don lemon I don't but at the end of the day he's an American like you no matter what pretend he believes.

Don Lemon isn't a leftist. I mean, for fucks sake, he was fired from CNN for misogyny.

227 The question of dual loyalties is contentious and sensitive, but not totally unfounded.

During WWII, a German-American was more likely to spy for Germany than any other nation.

Same with the Japanese-Americans.

I am well aware that the Japanese-American regiment earned many, many medals for valor in the European campaign. And many German-Americans served loyally in our armed forces.

None-the-less, dual loyalty is a real concern.

Chinese-Americans are more likely to spy for China against us than some other random country.

Now...the dual loyalty charge against Jewish-Americans can and has been used unfairly against them. But it is not something that has absolutely no basis in factual probabilities.

Larry N. Freedman (Hero) vs Jonathan Pollard (not a hero) for a case in point.

If they're a good muslim, they'll say "No" because Islam commands them to lie to advance Islam.

If they're a bad muslim, they'll also say "No" because they don't really believe all that crap.

So it's sadly a useless question, because no one will ever answer yes as a candidate. (Now, random muslim on the street will be far more truthful, though, as they want to act like conquerors already.)

If you suspect Jews of dual-loyalty to Israel but don't worry about Ilhan Omar's loyalty to her clan you should self-reflect why that is.

282 The fact that the male "Charlie" character Amelia interacts with looks a lot like a young Charlie Kirk is inspiring.

That's believed to be not a coincidence either. The people making the game were *really* unaware.

289 Hey, what do you think would happen if over 100 Million Americans filed under the False Claims Act (Fraud) and named the various Governors of those states enabling fraud as defendants. Getting around the sovereign immunity aspects of government depends on proving direct harm from a government employee's wrongful act or omission, not just general policy failures, and involves strict procedural steps and time limits.

Arguably, were we able to show Walz, Frey, Newsom, Pritzker etc. purposefully overlooking fraud, or even contributing to it, the Agency requirements would have been met. That allows for the filing of a civil suit in which showing damages is pretty damn easy in that we all presumably pay taxes that end up in the Medicare/ Medicaid/ HHS programs.

There is obvious mismanagement and time will likely show participation.

I say we bankrupt these guys for the rest of their miserable lives. Plus, it would be entertaining.

317 The "KKK Act of 1871" (formally the Enforcement Act of 1871):

A crucial piece of Reconstruction-era legislation ... making it a federal crime to interfere with civil rights, allowing presidential use of the military, and holding state officials accountable for civil rights violations, all under the umbrella of enforcing the 14th Amendment.

Key Provisions & Significance:
Federal Enforcement: It made interfering with voting rights and other civil liberties a federal offense, targeting Klan violence like intimidation, conspiracy, and masked terrorism.

Presidential Power: Authorized the President (Ulysses S. Grant) to use federal troops to enforce the law and suspend habeas corpus if necessary.

Holding Officials Accountable: Made state officials liable in federal court

318 It turns out that the big star for the Portland Trailblazers at the moment is Israeli and has served in the IDF, and these people haven't made a peep about it.
Apparently they aren't feeling politically powerful enough yet to start denouncing Portland's basketball team.
Posted by: The ARC of History!
-----
Understand that Portland itself is 600k out of 2.4M. Probably less than 20% of the (expensive!) seats at the blazers games are occupied by city residents. The area is definitely leftist, but the radical population is concentrated in the city proper.
Ignoring that elephant is tactical. The city needs the income generated by the team, the team doesn't need the city. I'm sure that Gresham, Hillsbore, Beaverton, or Tigard would welcome them. Hell, they could move across the river to Vancouver (WA).

Because the FBI is absolutely worthless, arguably counter-productive.

For example: That car that was attacked, raided and the weapons and intelligence was taken without any resistance whatsoever? That was FBI.

No who made the arrests? BATFE.

The FBI is so corrupt, incompetent and traitorous that they practically hand-off select-fire "assault weapons" to gang bangers and self-doxx themeselves and the entire operation.

And the BATFE, the red headed step child of law enforcement, is the one who makes the collar.
