Black radical communist and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for an insurrection.

Speaking at a Workers Over Billionaires rally on Labor Day, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called for city residents to be prepared to "defend this land" against the Trump administration, saying that the city "will defend this country."
Johnson told the crowd, "No federal troops in the city of Chicago, no militarized force in the city of Chicago. We're going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago."
He later added, "Are you prepared to defend this land, this land that was built by slaves, a land that was built by indigenous people, a land that is built by workers. Are you prepared to defend this land? The people united will always prevail."
"I need you all to stand firm, to stand strong if this president decides to continue to break this constitution. It's gonna be the labor movement that stitches it back together, the labor movement that brings white folks, black folks, Asians, it brings brown folks together.
"This is the city that said keep hope alive, the city that birthed yes we can, and the city that will defend this country," he added.
...
Following Johnson's comments at the rally, commentator Matt Walsh wrote, "1) This is treason. Brandon Johnson should be arrested, charged, convicted, and then given the requisite punishment for a capital offense. 2) Chicago was not in any sense built by "slaves and indigenous people."

Other Chicago Democrats are telling Brandon Johnson to swallow his unwarranted crime and accept federal help to stop the bloodshed in Chicago.

Not all Democratic politicians are opposed to President Donald Trump using the National Guard to crack down on crime.
Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez (D) said he is "absolutely" in favor of the president deploying the military to The Windy City in order to thwart lawlessness, before adding he has a "real hard time accepting" his fellow party members who are opposed to the idea.
"Chicagoans want to feel safe in the city of Chicago," Lopez told Fox News. "They want to know that they can leave their homes and come back safely, they could go to work, they could sit on their front steps, [and] their kids can go to school without being shot at."
Lopez shared his thoughts during a brief segment on Fox News Live on Saturday afternoon. The 47-year-old Democrat told Fox correspondent Rich Edson he would love to see the Trump Administration deploy the National Guard to Chicago, just like he did recently in Washington, D.C., because he is sick of seeing teenagers shot dead in his community.
"So when I hear my Democratic colleagues tell me, 'Don't worry, crime is down -- Trump, stay home in Washington,' I have a real hard time accepting that," Lopez continued.
He added his city has "always coordinated" with the federal government and federal agencies, like the FBI and DEA, to combat crime. The only thing that has changed now, though, is that Trump is in charge -- and that is why Democrats are opposed to it, according to Lopez.
"All of a sudden, now we don't want to work with them -- but we still want their grant money," Lopez said. "So there's a serious disconnect in what's going on here on the ground. But overwhelmingly, anything that helps bring peace -- as we saw, increase public safety in Washington, D.C. over the past 30 days -- they want that here as well."

Somehow, a destitute refugee who married her brother as an immigration scam got elected to Congress and wound up a multimillionaire.

JUST IN: Ilhan Omar reported a negative net worth of -$45,000 when she was first elected to Congress in 2019.
Her latest financial disclosure from May 2025 shows a net worth of up to $30 Million.
That’s a 66,676% increase in 6 years.

Here's a Fox Report. She previously attacked people who said she was a millionaire, claiming they were lying.

NY Post: $quad Goals.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) reported a net worth of up to $30 million in her latest financial disclosure -- a document filed just months after the congresswoman dismissed claims she was a millionaire as "ridiculous" and "categorically false."
The disclosure, filed in May, shows the far-left "Squad" lawmaker and her husband, Tim Mynett, experienced a roughly 3,500% increase in net worth last year, compared to 2023.
Rep. Ilhan Omar speaking at a news conference.The surge in wealth detailed in Omar's disclosure is the result of an explosion in the value of assets held by her husband's venture capital firm and winery. AP
The surge in the couple's wealth was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon on Monday.
The financial gains came from Mynett's two businesses, a Santa Rosa, Calif.-based winery and a venture capital firm headquartered in Washington, DC.
Omar valued the winery's assets at between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 in her latest disclosure. By comparison, the winery, eStCru LLC, was only worth between $15,000 and $50,000 in Omar's previous financial disclosure.

More dramatic was the explosion in growth experienced by Mynett's venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital LLC.
Rose Lake Capital's assets were valued at between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000 by the end of 2024. The company had less than $1,000 in assets the previous year.
Notably, income from the venture capital firm is listed as "none" in 2024 but between $15,000 and $50,000 the previous year.
Rose Lake Capital claims to have $60 billion in assets under management, according to the company's website.

Michael Shellenberger: The authoritarian leftist government of Germany is blocking an AfD candidate from running for mayor, because... he likes Lord of the Rings and that confirms our paranoias that he's a Secret Nazi.

BTW, he was praising the woke LOTR fan-fiction, "Rings of Power." You'd think that praising a woke race-swapped girlboss fantasy would be an affirmative defense to a charge of Nazism.

Imagine a man running for mayor and the local election authorities disqualify him because he praised a "Lord of the Rings" television mini-series, made the "okay" sign with his fingers, and went to a book fair.
That's what's happened to Joachim Paul. He was the front-runner in the mayoral race in the working-class German city of Ludwigshafen (population: 180,000) when the local election council, which is supposed to be politically neutral, declared that he could not run in the September 21 mayoral election. The council relied upon an analysis by the Ministry of Interior, which is the equivalent of the Department of Homeland Security in the United States, for the Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz) state.
As evidence that Paul was a threat to the Constitution, the Ministry quoted from Paul's praise of the Amazon series "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power." "The protagonists in 'Lord of the Rings' fight for a cause that is greater than themselves," Paul wrote for an Austrian magazine in 2022, "the homeland, the continuation of their culture, a just order, the defense against a world danger. They are prepared to risk their lives for it."
Said Paul, "They say that, by writing positively about 'Lord of the Rings,' I want to support nationalism and the 'Conservative Revolution'. But I didn't mention nationalism. I didn't mention 'Conservative Revolution.' It's all made up. The intent was to draw a picture of me as somebody who is far right.... [U.S. Vice President] J.D. Vance nor Giorgia Maloni, the president of Italy, couldn't run for office in Ludwigshafen."

Paul is the candidate for the right-wing populist and nationalist party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), which advocates for repatriating immigrants back to their native countries and other policies with which reasonable people might disagree.
But one need not agree with any of AfD's politics to see that the reasons given by the Interior Ministry for Rhineland-Palatinate, which is supposed to focus on potentially violent extremists, are frivolous or highly subjective.
For example, the Interior Ministry accused him of making the "OK" sign. "Leftist groups say making the OK sign means white power," he said, "but it's crazy to talk about the OK sign as a white power sign."
One of the Ministry's bullet points notes that "On 18 and 19 of October 2024, Joachim Paul was invited to a book bazaar in the 'Quartier Kirschstein.' Among other things, the Chemnitz-based 'Antiquariat Zeitenstrom' exhibited various right-wing literature there."
Paul says the "right-wing literature" they are referring to is Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel, a classic of German war literature taught in universities that some on the Left say glorifies war and violence.
"To consider these books as right-wing is childish," said Paul. "Literature is literature. Even if I read right-wing books, that doesn't mean I agree with every single word. No book has for me the value of a party program. It's crazy thinking."
Paul's Social Democrat opponents weaponized both the Ministry and the local election council, he says.
"I was a member of an election council and I approved every candidate, left, right, and ecological [Green]. Their duty is only to check formal correctness, not political positions," Paul said. "But now the Social Democrats have developed a strategy to weaponize election councils."
All of this occurs within the context of widespread censorship by the German government, despite Germany's ostensible status as a liberal democracy. What the government is doing to Paul is, he says, a new and "hidden strategy... my case is unique."
Paul's lawyer is confident that the electoral court is in violation of the constitution. Still, it has kept Paul off the ballot, stating that if higher courts rule in Paul's favor, they will conduct the election again.
"The federal constitution says that you can be stripped of your right to run for office only by a court and only if you are convicted of dangerous crimes like sabotage, espionage, or defrauding elections," said Paul. "But the court said, 'We don't want to discuss this any further. Even if it's not constitutional, we can't fix it on this level anyway, and so it's better to have the election now. They've opened the door to weaponizing the council for party politics to get rid of opponents."
What is going on? Why is the German government openly undermining democracy?

Most of the left-wing governments of Europe are now repealing democracy. Because they hate democracy -- they are, and always have been, communists determined to rule through sheer will to power. The masks are coming off because their positions are so unpopular that the popular vote is no longer a viable path to power, even with cheating.

The more they refuse to adapt to the popular will, the more they have to crack down on the opposition -- "the opposition" meaning the majority of the citizenry-- which then makes them even more unpopular and forces them to break the laws to remain in power, because they know, the moment they're turned out of power, prison awaits.

And this results in train gathering steam towards actual revolution and insurrection. Which is no longer just a dream of the a accelerationists. ("Accelerationists" are people who want the left to get worse and even more unbearable, precisely because it will spark off a violent counter-revolution against them.)

Yesterday I watched an episode on Triggernometry to which I was glued. Historian of war David Betz sat down with Francis and Konstantine to discuss the likelihood of civil conflict in the UK, and Betz was quite clear--and gloomy about it--that the UK was just a spark away from an insurgency. He isn't sure what form it will take, but the conditions are ripe for civil conflict.
The episode is long--an hour and a half--and I watched it through. If you are interested in the subject, you should too.

That video is here. I haven't watched it myself, but I've seen him speaking before. He has held the belief that the UK is on the verge of a civil war for a while.

Jake Tapper: I get it, the weaponization against Trump was bad, but now he's doing the same thing to others.

CBS "News" is engaging in election interference again.

They asked Kristi Noem why she was determined to kick "Maryland Dad" Albrego-Garcia out of the country. She explained to them that he was a hardened criminal -- and they edited out that part of her answer, so that her answer didn't answer the question.

Here is her statement that was presented on CBS:

And the one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure he (Abrego Garcia) doesn't walk free in the United States of America.
Here's what they cut; as you listen, think about whether this might be important information for their viewers to have to form an accurate opinion on this case:

This individual was a known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing, how he was treating small children. So he needs to never be in the United States of America, and our administration is making sure we are doing all that we can to bring him to justice.

Note that the first statement, the part CBS aired, gave you a small piece of the "what." They left all of the "why" on the cutting-room floor. And there is a lot of "why" there.
This is journalistic malpractice of the first water.... CBS, in this instance, deprived its viewers of critical information, in this case, namely, Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal background. He's an alleged thug, pervert, and wife beater in addition to being an illegal alien, and any honest news organization would present all this information, so their viewers could make an informed decision.

This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety.

Watch for the part of my interview that @CBS tried to… pic.twitter.com/28fsGZug48

This is the same scam Hunter Biden ran with the Chinese. Wealth management fees typically can be around 2% per year, so if they have 25 mil, that's 500k in cash per year off the top. Biden was pulling in nine figures from the CCP for his version, joined, iirc, by one John Kerry's kids. Oddly, also a "Rose" something name I think.

It's even better than the book advance scam.

And they like it that way ... and are trying to get their corrupt thugs to fight the federal government directly.

The best way to understand Chicago is that it is not an American city. It is a slice of East Block communism from the 50s transplanted to the US. None of its rules can be understood otherwise. It is a single party system that wants to be run by a powerful dictator.

These days, they are all weak dictators.

Starmer & Co. are cowards, and cowards always underestimate bravery because it is alien to them. They shake their heads over martyrs an men who fought to the last without any hope of victory.

So they will keep pushing and pushing and then raising penalties and trying to scare the opposition, which of course isn't scared, and is just getting angrier by the second.

67 Starmer & Co. are cowards, and cowards always underestimate bravery because it is alien to them. They shake their heads over martyrs an men who fought to the last without any hope of victory.

So they will keep pushing and pushing and then raising penalties and trying to scare the opposition, which of course isn't scared, and is just getting angrier by the second.

And at a certain point, a critical mass will have nothing left to lose.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 02, 2025 06:30 PM (ZOv7s)

I think Starmer will get forced out by the other cowards now that attention is on what he is doing and not doing. That's what happened to the Tory leaders post Boris Johnson. Like him, they are very interested in getting a war on to distract everyone in Ukraine, but matters there are well past saving.

Problem is, there's not many to replace Starmer with.

Most anyone would be shocked at how pathetically weak the British Army (and Navy) is now. Even Starmer didn't realize; earlier this year they were talking big about sending troops and tanks to Ukraine, I think Starmer said he wanted to put together an expeditionary force of 25,000 men. His Defense chiefs said umm, hold on a minute, with a couple months notice we might could find 5,000 men but that'd be the limit.

Then they looked at tanks, and the word quietly leaked out that Britain only has (iirc) 26 operational battle tanks left in the entire country. There's another couple hundred that are down waiting on parts; many of them have been down for 5 - 10 years, as the factories that made those parts were all closed.
And the Navy now has more Admirals than capital ships.

Britain no longer has a serious military.

There's another couple hundred that are down waiting on parts; many of them have been down for 5 - 10 years, as the factories that made those parts were all closed.
And the Navy now has more Admirals than capital ships.

132 Tom Servo and AH,
Tony Robinson, aka Black Adder's Baldrick, had a tv program about Britain' True Monarch, from wiki

"The programme based its thesis on the centuries-old claim that Edward IV was illegitimate, born to Cecily, Duchess of York, by an English archer while her husband, Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, was fighting elsewhere in France. The legitimacy of Edward IV was the subject of speculation at the time, and a document in Rouen Cathedral is presented by Dr Michael Jones as indicating that Richard and Cecily were about 100 miles (160 km) apart during the five-week period when Edward's conception must have occurred (assuming that the pregnancy went to a normal term). A number of historians have since challenged the conclusions reached by the programme.

If Edward were indeed illegitimate, then he and his descendants would have had no valid claim to the throne, so the programme suggests that the 'real' monarchs were the heirs of his legitimate brother George, Duke of Clarence (Plantagent line). At the time, this line was represented by The 14th Earl of Loudoun aka Michael Hastings, who had emigrated to Australia in 1960."

They never went away. However, because the Army is now so tiny, they were amalgamated so that the lineage of multiple regiments are applied to a single battalion. The idea is that if the Army expands, the regiments would be split back apart.

But think about that - they can't cover the TO&E of a nation that had a fraction of the current population.

Some are claiming "statistically impossible". Given the large number of these local candidates all over the area, this is a unlikely event, but not impossibly rare, ~1/200 to ~1/250.

So, this is anomalous. There are explanations for all 6 deaths that make sense, from what he says above.

Here's what you do.

Go into her closet and find the smallest numerical numbered dress. That's the smallest thing she could wear before getting heavier.

Now go buy an expensive piece of clothing in that size.

Apologize when she says it doesn't fit, explaining that you have a bad memory and thought she was always that size.

Let her mind do the rest.

The upper classes lived in a different country. The lower classes either accepted it, lived off the dole, or emigrated.

Emigration was always a safety valve for the English. Enoch Powell noted this in his speech. I noticed this in the 80s in college talking to ex-pats. (One friend was a sales clerk at a dept. store and said the only way up was to leave.)

273 It dates back to Oliver Cromwell, when he replaced Charles I and became Lord Protector of the Realm. Since the Roundheads were under his control, it was no longer the a royal army, but a British army.

This is all from memory, so some of the details are fuzzy.
Posted by: Hour of the Wolf

You are correct. As a result, the uneasy compromise was that Parliament controlled the army and the King controlled the marines aka Royal Marines and the Royal Navy. Difficult to use those against the nation to reinstall a Stuart monarchy is why.

England's history is also why the US was reluctant at first to have a large standing army. The Marines and Navy were viewed as controlled by the President but the Army was viewed as a Congressional prerogative to be built upon only on Declaration of War. Then WWII and Cold War occurred.

279 There's not the tiniest bit of "tables turned", or "goose for the gander", or breaking a norm that enables abuses against you in all of this investigation of previous intel, DOJ, FBI people.

What's being investigated are actual crimes, historic abuses of power. Those abuses had ridiculous and obviously invalid pretexts, "predicates" that were slim to non-existent.

Nothing remotely similar in the two cases. The predicates for current investigations and actions are well-documented obviously illegal behavior. This is not an academic distinction.

Most of them didn't have the social ability to have slaves. Nobody to guard them. If they had a victory, they killed the other side on sight, took some women and girls and young boys and adopted them into the tribe. Later, they did that with whites too.

They had fun parties were everyone took turns torturing the really good prisoners and they showed their bravery under torture.

Another part of that is that afterwards England always kept a very small standing army at home - most of their effort was put into the Navy or later, into their colonies. It was the memory, and the lesson, that large armies sitting around at home more often than not can make a whole lot of trouble, and end up running things themselves.

327 Charles demanded that cities give him the money for ships (of course money is fungible and he intended to use it elsewhere likely). The ship's tax had been used off and on dating back centuries whenever a fleet was needed in a hurry. Same as feudal duties were assigned far later by kings simply to shake down nobles for pocket change.

Charles ran into a problem though as his bribes became insufficient and he refused to get rid of Lord Buckingham and other incompetent ministers that were spending him into the poorhouse. He was forced by penury to call Parliament back for taxes which ultimately cost him his head.

It was the memory, and the lesson, that large armies sitting around at home more often than not can make a whole lot of trouble, and end up running things themselves.

True and much of the British Army was committed to the far parts of the world as expeditionary and occupation forces--not at home. Lord Kitchener essentially did what no one thought he could do in ramping up the British Army to unparalleled size in about 1.5-2 years from a small cadre force.

342 If a dude does not know how to handle the relationship, goes online and whines about his GF for all to see, he is very possibly ghey and needs to get in touch with his feminine side. by shtooping another dude.

345 Noem looks like one of those pageant girls in an embarrassing kind of way. Normally, only them, strippers, and cadavers have make-up pancaked on that thick. She's like Tammy Fay Baker, if Tammy Fay had her shit together, or a Glamour Shots advertisement from the 80s. It just doesn't look normal and it's off-putting, distracting.

Why is it it always empty when you show up late to the party?

348 Play "Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)" and yell, "Come dance with me, baby!".

See Piper's suggestion for dance lessons. 😉

Situation in Europe is increasingly unstable but their crop of politicians, like many of ours, are flaccid self serving pieces of shit that are listening to the elites and oligarchs. Not likely to end well however it plays out via an extended time of troubles over there.

353 >>I'm quietly admitting that a lot of physicists are full of shit. If energy isn't conserved give me my personal home free generator to run my house at no cost.

I skimmed over the linked video. Someone has discovered a well-known result of General Relativity about the notion of global energy. It's a coordinate issue.

Energy is everywhere and always conserved locally. The problem is defining the energy of gravitational field globally. That turns out to be vexingly coordinate dependent and can't be made globally invariant.

354 >>That's why I think moving into Chicago is a horrible idea.

Chicago, Baltimore, NYC, LA and the rest aren't foreign countries and thinking the shitholes they've become will stay inside their borders is fantasy.

Take over blue shitholes and end the crime waves. People will see who is looking out for them and who has subjected them to years of pain.

355 The fact that Joachim Paul likes the Rings of Power is a no-go for me. Like I get to vote in Germany anyway!

356 Probably that German person really is right-wing and wants an end to immigration, especially illegal immigration and frivolous asylum seekers. However, there is nothing wrong with his positions. It is absurd that he is forced to deny some pretty moderate opinions.

357 What the astronomers have been proposing for the last, say, 30 years is in fact in contradiction to conservation of energy: not only are far away galaxies speeding away from us, they are picking up speed! This is backed up by a plethora of observation, and I think it just goes to show how poorly we understand the universe as a whole. The YouTube video was good in the way they championed Emmie Nöther: she was a genius. A colleague was able to teach at Bryn Mawr and said they still had Nöther’s old desk: unfortunately it was left out in the hallway and wasn’t being preserved.
