Who won?

Nobody. Certainly not Texas conservatives, at any rate.

BREAKING: Texas Democrats Will Return Home, and the New Map Will Be Approved
The war over Texas’ congressional maps is nearly over, and conservatives emerged victorious.

ABC13 Eyewitness News reports that multiple sources have confirmed House Democrats are finally coming back to Texas. They haven’t said exactly when, but apparently, they think they’ve achieved some grand victory by killing the first special session and grabbing a few headlines about the mid-decade redistricting fight. In reality, all they’ve done is waste taxpayer money, embarrass themselves on the national stage, and guarantee that the new map will still pass, just without the drama next time.

It’s not all that surprising. The Democratic Party, the worst offenders when it comes to gerrymandering, throwing a conniption over Republican redistricting, was the epitome of hypocrisy, and to top that off, Texas Democrats fled to the heavily gerrymandered state of Illinois: a stunt so tone-deaf that it practically wrote its own punchline. Democrats were going to cave eventually; it was only a matter of when.

Something tells me that when Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to keep calling special sessions until the new map was passed, they knew they were beat.

“This could literally last years because in Texas, I’m authorized to call a special session every thirty days. It lasts thirty days,” he told Fox News host Shannon Bream on Monday, promising to keep calling session after session relentlessly. “As soon as this one is over, I’m gonna call another one, then another one, then another one, then another one.”

Far as I’m concerned, Real Americans can’t fairly claim a victory here unless D卐M☭CRAT Fleebaggers are arrested at the state line on their return, stripped of their privilege to EVER work in any kind of government job again, whether it be holding an elected office or manning a guard shack at the warehouse where Indiana Jones stored the Ark of the Covenant.

What the above story indicates is that the Fleebaggers are going to get away scot-free with disrupting a duly-scheduled and lawfully-conducted session of the Texas legislature because they didn’t have the numbers to prevent something they oppose from being enacted, and will be perfectly able to do so again and again going forward, whenever they feel like it, with complete impunity.

In other words, because they couldn’t commit enough election fraud to glom control of the legislature for their foul, repulsive Party, they consider themselves entitled to undermine “our sacred democracy.”

Did I say “arrested at the state line” just now? Sorry, permit me to amend that: they damned well ought to be shot deader’n Caesar’s ghost.

Eat ’em alive, Kid!

Here’s hoping he reduces ‘em to penury so extreme the whole coven winds up sleeping under a Detriot bridge.

“YOU DEFAMED ME ON LIVE TV — NOW PAY THE PRICE!” — Kid Rock Drops $50 Million Legal Bomb on The View and Whoopi Goldberg After Explosive On-Air Ambush
Los Angeles, CA – November 3, 2025 – The airwaves of daytime television just got a whole lot more litigious. In a move that’s already igniting debates from Nashville honky-tonks to New York greenrooms, rock-rap firebrand Kid Rock—real name Robert James Ritchie—has unleashed a blistering $50 million defamation lawsuit against ABC’s flagship gabfest The View and its outspoken co-host Whoopi Goldberg. What began as a seemingly innocuous segment on cultural divides and free speech has erupted into what Ritchie’s attorneys are calling “a full-frontal assault on truth and decency,” broadcast live to an audience of millions.

This isn’t your garden-variety celebrity spat. It’s a seismic showdown between a self-made provocateur who’s sold over 35 million albums worldwide and a media juggernaut that’s thrived on hot takes for nearly three decades. At its core, the suit accuses Goldberg and her co-hosts of orchestrating a “vicious, calculated ambush” that smeared Ritchie’s reputation, tanked potential business deals, and inflicted “profound emotional distress.” As one legal eagle close to the case put it, “They didn’t just disagree—they drew blood on national TV. Now, they’re going to bleed in the courtroom.”

The fuse was lit during a taping of The View on October 28, 2025, just days after a raucous election cycle that saw Ritchie stumping hard for conservative causes in swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. Invited ostensibly to discuss his latest foray into politics—Ritchie had teased a potential 2026 gubernatorial run in Michigan—the segment quickly devolved into what Ritchie describes as a “gotcha” trap. Cameras rolled as Goldberg, flanked by co-hosts Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Sara Haines, pivoted from light banter to pointed interrogations.

It started innocently enough. Ritchie, clad in his signature trucker hat and leather vest, leaned into the couch with his trademark swagger, cracking jokes about his “Sweet Southern Sugar” tour and reminiscing about his Detroit roots. “Y’all know I love this country,” he drawled, his voice a gravelly mix of Motown soul and rebel yell. “From the factories to the farms, we’re all in this together.” The audience chuckled, and even Behar cracked a smile at his quip about “building bridges instead of walls—unless it’s a mosh pit.”

But then Goldberg struck. Drawing on Ritchie’s vocal support for Second Amendment rights and his criticisms of “woke Hollywood,” she unleashed a barrage that left the studio audience—and Ritchie himself—reeling. “You parade around like some redneck savior,” Goldberg fired off, her tone sharp as a switchblade, “but let’s be real: your ‘American spirit’ is just code for hate-mongering and division. You’ve built a career on shock value, alienating half the country with your beer-soaked rants. Is this really leadership, or just another grift?”

The room froze. Ritchie, mid-sip of water, set his glass down with a thud that echoed through the microphones. Co-host Hostin piled on, nodding vigorously: “Exactly—your so-called patriotism ignores the marginalized voices you’ve trampled on for years.” Haines chimed in with a softer but no less cutting remark about Ritchie’s “outdated machismo,” while Behar let out a theatrical eye-roll that drew laughs from the crowd. What followed was a 10-minute evisceration, with the panel painting Ritchie as a “dangerous relic” whose influence “poisons the well of public discourse.” No punches pulled, no commercial breaks for mercy.

Ritchie sat there, jaw clenched, as the barbs flew. He attempted a few deflections—”Hey, Whoopi, I respect the hustle, but facts over feelings, right?”—but the hosts steamrolled ahead, framing his political activism as “reckless endangerment” to democracy. By the segment’s end, the applause was polite but tepid, and Ritchie exited stage left without his usual fist-pump to the crowd. Backstage, sources say he was “fuming,” confiding to his team, “That wasn’t an interview—that was an execution.”

Yep—and it was perfectly typical of what these shit-slurpers and all others of their loathsome ilk do every single day, under the guise of “fair” and “unbiased” “journalism.” Go get ’em, Kid, and don’t stop Rocking ’em till their livelihoods are lost, their shows are shut down, and their network has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kid Rock Inc.

Via Lakeside Joe, who quips: “This is gonna be fun to watch.”

Bodacious!

The Sidney Sweeney saga continues, and it’s BEAUTIFUL, man!

for anyone gen X or older and many who are younger, the sydney sweeney jeans ad is an obvious icon, a cultivated callback to a genre that once was, the latest modern take on a corbusier chaise lounge or an homage to 1950’s sport shirts. it looks like 1,000 other things you saw your whole life, a piece of classic americana once as common as summer sunshine and about as objectionable.

on its overt level, this branding makes deep sense as jeans styles are changing, moving from the stretch-fit skinny jeans paradigm of the last 15 years back to a looser and baggy 80’s and 90’s low-rise style. it’s all of a piece: a throwback ad style to foreground a throwback clothing style. it caught the zeitgeist. it’s clever, stylish, sexy, and strong. she’s an attractive woman doing cool stuff in a cool stuff in a cool way. sweeny looks like a bad ass, the car is epic, and this triggers appeal to women and men alike. you want to go to there.

so why has the internet and the aggrievement industrial complex of media babble-heads exploded into such a lockstep tizzy over an ad that would have been utterly unremarkable during most of living memory?

El Gato goes on to expound on more than one of said reasons, all of which are perfectly plausible. But for my money, it really all boils down to just one crucial element: The Wokester Left—never among the most stable of us to begin with, either psychologically or emotionally—has now gone officially, certifiably, irretrievably, pathologically bugfuck NUTS. The slavering moonbats have lost contact with rationality and/or reality altogether and aren’t gonna be coming back anytime soon, assuming they ever come back at all.

Put another way, the loony Left’s visceral hatred for Mighty Whitey, physical comeliness, mainstream opinion, and a refusal to evince proper contrition—ie, to hang one’s head apologetically, as is only meet and just, for the abominable H888Crime!™ of being young, White, good-looking, independent-minded, and wildly popular with Normal Americans—has finally driven the poor dears clean around the bend and into the ditch.

Add to these egregious offenses the fact that Our Sydney remains defiant and unflappable under a heavy (and intensifying) barrage of Wokester vitriol, obloquy, and unhinged threats. Most maddening of all: she’s female but is in no wise the Wokester-approved flavor of Toxic Feminazi, nor does she show the slightest inclination to sign on. Really, it couldn’t be more obvious as to why the whackadoos loathe her so frenetically, yet can’t quite seem to quit her even so.

Remember back when Rush used to boast about “living in Liberal heads rent free?” He might’ve written the book on the idea, but Sweeney has taken it farther than even Rush himself ever imagined going. You just gotta love the girl for that, if for nothing else. Back over to El Gato for the happy ending, unexpected as it was until it landed in our laps.

the vestigial remnants of the cancel culture mob were all out in force demanding boycotts and censorship and playing that favorite role of theater kids everywhere: the victim.

but a funny thing happened on the way to the struggle session:

nobody cared.

academia roused itself to towering rage.

yawn.

newspapers manufactured outrage at printing press scale.

yawn. snork.

the internet exploded in outpourings of tearful anxiety projection and attempted villification.

and the jeans sold out in record time.

you cannot just tell people, “this is normal,” “obesity is healthy,” or “if a man (or a woman) will not date a woman because she has a penis, that’s transphobic” (people really claim this by the way and disagreeing with it has been treated as hate speech) and expect to be believed or to become a cultural touchstone.

and people are exhausted by it, desperate to return to a different time and a set of standards more in line with their lived (and biological) experience and preferences.

it’s about power.

they experience the empowerment of a woman like sydney as an assault on them because they see power as a zero sum game.

but so intense is this will to power that it cannot be admitted, least of all to themselves.

they are absolutely sincere to the point of non-interrogatable delusion on this topic.

it’s grinding them to dust because none of this works anymore.

the magic words have lost their power. yell “racist! sexist! structural oppressor!” until you sprain your tonsils.

outside of your ever-shrinking always on rage tribe, no one cares.

As I always say, couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of assholes. Didn’t happen a moment too soon, either. A few paragraphs along, El Gato throws us a helpful compare/contrast bone:

CORRECTION: I wuz wrong just then; sorry, everyone. There’s no comparison to be made here, the two specimens depicted above are about as dissimilar as dissimilar gets. They are unrelated; exact opposites; light years apart; as different as chalk and cheese. They clash worse’n a brown shirt with a blue suit. Please allow me to atone for my error with another shot of Ms Sweeney’s astounding fun bags.

I repeat: YOWZA!!!! A bit blurry and out of focus, sure, but unless my eyes deceive me I do believe an enticing half-moon of undraped right nipple can be descried in the above screencap.

Careful fellas; human saliva can wreck your keyboard should excessive quantities of it be drooled thereon.

Poised, indomitable, intelligent, fiercely confident—all these qualities and more come together to make Sidney Sweeney the Platonic ideal of what legendary ‘rassler Lex Luger meant when he decided to call himself The Total Package. Throw in that 1) she’s also a well-trained, skilled shooter, and 2) she’s an avid vintage-car enthusiast, restorer, and diehard Ford gal who enjoys nothing more than getting her hands greasy wrenching on her own prized 65 Mustang, first and foremost among other FoMoCo models, namely her grandpappy’s old F100 pick-em-up in which she learned to drive as a youngster (and that she still owns) and her 69 Bronco, for openers. She even co-designed a Mustang GT limited edition model for the Blue Oval boys to boot. Background:

Sydney Sweeney’s love for cars is deeply rooted in her family background and personal experiences. Growing up in a small town near Spokane, Washington, surrounded by mechanics, she developed a genuine passion for classic vehicles early on. This passion was not just a phase, it is a family legacy. While the world knows her for powerful performances on screen, off-screen, she is just as comfortable under the hood, restoring classic cars and proudly sharing her projects. One vehicle in particular has been generating buzz, a certain Mustang. But is it the iconic GT350?

Sydney Sweeney does not own a Mustang GT350. While she is prominently featured driving a GT350 in the recent American Eagle ad campaign, her actual Mustang ownership is different. Sweeney’s love for cars and vintage models does come from her bloodline. In a small town near Spokane, Washington, she first learned to drive on her grandfather’s F-100 farm truck, a vehicle she still owns today. During the pandemic, she purchased an original 1969 Bronco that required extensive restoration.

Sydney Sweeney owns a classic 1965 Ford Mustang, which she has lovingly nicknamed Britney. This vintage Mustang is bright blue and has been the subject of her restoration projects shared on social media. Sweeney’s hands-on work and deep personal connection to her 1965 Mustang have inspired some of her automotive collaborations, including the custom 2024 Mustang GT she co-designed with Ford, but the only Mustang she personally owns and cherishes is her 1965 model.

To celebrate the Mustang’s 60th anniversary, Ford is building two custom Mustangs inspired by Sydney Sweeney’s Brittany Blue 1965 model—one for Sweeney, one for a contest winner. These cars feature a Robin’s Egg Blue exterior with a crushed glass clear coat, 20-inch chrome rims, Sweeney’s signature on the engine, and the Ford x Sydney Sweeney heart bolt emblem throughout the design.

Aiiight, I just can’t restrain myself: boyohboyohboyohboy, WHAT A WOMAN!! “Total Package”? Pish-tosh; doesn’t do her justice, not even close. Although I can’t honestly say I ever had such thoughts before right this very minute, saucy, sexy, succulent Sidney makes me wish I was about thirty years younger; way better looking; fit and healthy; independently wealthy; and lived half a block down from her crib. If I woke up to find all this had somehow come to pass, I’d run the shoes off my feet and my feet down to bloody nubs chasing after her fine self. I ain’t too proud to admit it, neither.

T’is a consummation devoutly to be wished

Are the Swamp critters running scared? Feeling panicky? Working on a little late-in-the-day covering of asses in hopes of evading indictment, trial, conviction, and/or punishment for election-tampering, administrative coup d’état, and high treason and get off scot-free—to quote the scurrilous, taunting cockalorum of ambulatory buttplug Bill Ayers, “guilty as hell, free as a bird”? It’d be nice to think these present-day Benedict Arnolds are trembling with fear as they cower in their living rooms, dreading the sound of combat-boots approaching and the loud knock on their door, of course. Nonetheless, I remain extremely dubious at best that even one (1) of these Deep State scuzzbuckets will ever face serious consequences for their unlawful skullduggery.

The below-described half-baked stab at gaining the upper hand via circular (il)logic; misrepresentation; fatiguing repetition of preposterous, mutually-refuting counterfactuals; and ad lib speculation which is not remotely feasible, believable, or realistic, to me suggests (contra Margolis’s overly-optimistic asseveration of “walls closing in”) that these Red in tooth and claw insurrectionists aren’t terribly concerned that they’ll ever face ANY consequences, either serious or fatuous, themselves.

Brennan and Clapper Just Hit the Panic Button
With the Deep State’s lies about the Russia collusion hoax finally unraveling, panic is setting in, and some of the highest-ranking figures from the Obama administration, including Barack Obama himself, are now squarely in the Justice Department’s crosshairs. Two of the operation’s chief architects, former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper, just tried a last-ditch reputational rehab via a New York Times op-ed. But instead of saving face, they only reminded Americans why trust in the so-called “intelligence community” has collapsed to historic lows.

Incredibly, their main defense against charges of politicizing intelligence was to point to the very thing they politicized: the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. They cited it like gospel, as if repeating it enough times would erase the growing mountain of evidence that it was crafted under political pressure, built on cherry-picked intel, and propped up by the now-discredited Steele dossier. It’s the equivalent of using a forged check to prove you’re not guilty of fraud.

According to Brennan and Clapper, the ICA was beyond reproach simply because it claimed that Vladimir Putin had a “clear preference” for Donald Trump and ran a multi-pronged operation to help him win via hacked emails, social media posts, and internet trolls. But what they left out, conveniently, is that they helped write the script and bullied analysts into signing off on it.

They also wave around the name of special counsel John Durham like a magic shield, claiming that he “found no evidence of an Obama administration conspiracy.” Translation: nothing to see here, move along; just ignore the political pressure, the manipulated assessments, the hidden sourcing, and the whistleblower now confirming everything conservatives have said for years.

Their attempted defense, however, falls apart upon review of the evidence. The newly declassified Durham annex reveals that the Clinton campaign coordinated with George Soros’s Open Society Foundation to push the Trump-Russia collusion hoax during the 2016 election. Internal emails show Clinton approved a plan to link Trump to Russian hackers to distract from her own scandals, with help from Soros-connected operatives and DNC officials. They used cybersecurity firms like CrowdStrike to plant the narrative in the media, hoping the FBI would amplify it. Which, of course, they did.

Americans have seen behind the curtain, and no amount of op-ed space in The New York Times is going to let Brennan and Clapper gaslight the public into believing their actions were anything but politically motivated.

Brennan and Clapper see what’s coming. With the walls closing in, they’re not offering clarity; they’re trying to cover their backsides.

in a better, more just world, the most egregious of these shitweasels would’ve danced the Danny Deever long ago. As should Brennan, Clapper, Bathhouse Barry, Her Herness!!©, Soros, along with any of their co-conspirators, like-minded lesser demons, rumpswabs, and sundry subgenii who haven’t already fled the country for some third-world Shitholia with which the US has no extradition agreement.

Sizable as the first round of hemp-pulling will be, it still amounts to a good start, that’s all. If Real Americans stick to their guns, stay vigilant, and actively keep their attention focused, their eyes on the ball, and their minds sharp, the hangman won’t ever go hungry for want of steady work in Mordor On The Potomac and the surrounding SMSA. As the old saw goes, you can’t swing a dead cat in such crowded environs as DC without sloshing one or another future gallows-bait right in his sallow, sneering gob. Be the sloshee a jihadist rapefugee, an illegal border jumper, a dole-dependent feral Neegrow prowling the urban jungle for prey, or an overpaid, undertasked, lazy, insolent, and wholly incapable bureau-rat scurrying aimlessly through the corridors of the gi-normous FederalGovCo maze, that dead cat is sure to find its mark without the swinger having to bother with the formalities of target selection, acquisition, identification, and lock-on.

All he really has to do is just lift his dead-cat-wielding arm above his head and begin flinging it about wildly, vigorously; shouldn’t take more than 15-20 seconds of such gyrations before he scores a solid hit on his chosen target. After visually confirming the kill by watching his target all the way down to the ground, he is then free to repeat the process until 1) all targets have been destroyed or fled back to base; B) he’s run out of dead cats; 3) he’s too tired and weak to lift his arm, much less swing it; D) he’s lost interest in the whole stupid exercise; 5) it’s almost time for dinner, plus he badly needs to take a pee-break before he drenches his trousers, socks, shirt-tail, and underwear in his own hot, foul-smelling urine.

All jokey digressions aside, in my considered opinion the ongoing MAGA struggle can’t plausibly be said to have concluded satisfactorily (ie, with an indisputable victory) unless/until every last one of the disgusting DC cock-a-roaches has been ground into grisly, grimy goo by the thick Vibram soles of some size 13EE American-made jackboots.

Careful what you wish for, CullyFahnya shitlibs, lest you get it—all you want, plus some.

West Coast, Messed Coast™– Holy Environy! Newsom Desperately Tries to Sell Refinery He Helped Close
In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom is desperately trying to find a buyer for an oil refinery that he and his policies were instrumental in shooing from the state. Newsom’s policies have driven multiple refineries out of the state. Valero Oil has given up and plans to close a San Francisco-area refinery in 2026.

“California’s effort to save the refinery from closing also marks a shift from the focus of government policy in recent years to champion green initiatives and restrict fossil fuel usage, that has led to an often tense relationship between the state and oil companies,” Reuters reports.

Valero plans to completely close down in 2026. California had 40 refineries in the 1980s. The recently announced closures will leave as few as seven refineries operational by 2026.

West Coast, Messed Coast™ residents are finding out in real time, if they hadn’t known already, that high gas prices weren’t only the product of greedy oil companies and plundering gas station owners, as Democrats have told them all these years.

“High gas prices?! We’ll pass a law to investigate these scallywags!”

California’s gas prices are “42.2% higher than the national average, 40.7% higher than Arizona, 20% higher than Nevada, 46.86% higher than Florida, and a whopping 63.12% higher than Texas.” It’s not a good look when you want to win your party’s nomination to be president of the free world.

It turns out that when your environmental policies force the closure of multiple oil refineries cranking out homegrown gas, you are forced to import more expensive gas. It has the side effect of making you look really dumb, Gavin Newsom. Worse, it makes the other states that follow California’s environmental lead — looking at you, Oregon and Washington — look even dumber.

Ummm, s’cuse me and all, but, y’know… “LOOK”?!?

Best. Spam. EVAR!

Posted on July 25, 2025 by Mike

Of the thousands, perhaps even millions, of CF-related spam emails I’ve received, snarled at, and summarily deleted over lo, these many years, this one has to be my personal favorite. C&P’d in its entirety:

FROM: HR & Admin – Coldfury <james@prestouniversal.com>
TO: E-mail (CF)
SUBJECT: Coldfury Employees Performance Appraisals – June’25

Dear Gentlemen,

Please find below the link to the current month’s employee performance appraisals for June 2025.

https://staff.coldfury.com/inter-records/report-2025/

Note: All names highlighted in red indicate employees who are due for termination.

Your prompt attention to this matter is highly appreciated.

Best regards,

HR Manager
Human Resource Department
hr.director@coldfury.com | Headquarter

Wow, turns out I have not only an HR department but also an HQ, even an unspecified number of “employees” who can actually be “terminated” at the discretion of my (nonexistent) HR Manager, whose actual name I can’t seem to recall right now for some reason. Better still, my phantasmagorical “HR Manager” refers to me as a “Gentlemen” in interoffice correspondence. Who knew?

No, of course I didn’t click on the link to view the “employee performance appraisals” report, but I confess I’m mighty tempted to, if only to giggle like a delighted little girl at the no doubt voluminous “names highlighted in red.” That’s bound to be as epic a tale as has ever been told throughout the annals of creative writing. Lord knows I’ve taken a few stabs at composing fiction, only to find that, although I know I’m not completely bereft of writing talent, I don’t have it in me to create good fiction; somehow, I just can’t make it work.

Pollyanna gets excited over nothing again

Ahh, if only.

Will John Brennan Finally Be Indicted?

Stupid question, easy answer: No. No he most certainlly will not. Not that there isn’t ample reason to, I mean. It’s just that Amerika v2.0 is not the knid of country where things that really ought to happen usually DO happen, see.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced this week that John Brennan is under investigation, and with good reason. Brennan is the most corrupt former CIA director ever. His transgressions against the U.S., coming to light more succinctly with each passing week, portray an individual who should have never been in government service, let alone CIA director. Now is the time to nail him.

Brennan lead the subterfuge against Donald Trump in his first campaign. He was aware that Trump had not collaborated with Russia before or after the 2016 election. In fact, he fully briefed Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden about Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee’s scheme to frame Donald Trump as a Russian operative who was colluding with Putin to steal the 2016 election.

He knew that the Steele Dossier was bogus and that it was illegally employed to obtain FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and his staff.

Brennan falsely claimed that the Russians successfully hacked DNC computer servers. He made sure that lies about Russian intelligence and collusion with the Trump Administration made their way into the public arena via major newspapers, television, and the internet.

Russiagate was a complete fabricated lie and yet Brennan, still serving as Obama’s CIA director, put in place a surveillance system to monitor at least two dozen Trump campaign staffers and advisors. Brennan wiretapped and eavesdropped on the conversations of Donald Trump’s most prominent political supporters.

Much later, when investigator John Durham finally finished his investigation, Durham’s report highlighted that Brennan had informed Obama and Biden about the Clinton Campaign’s plot to portray Donald Trump as a puppet of the Russian government, under Vladimir Putin.

For all of President Trump’s first term, Brennan actively sought to inflict damage whenever and wherever he could.

In a better, more enlightened era, actively working to harass, undermine, and unseat a duly elected President by nefarious, illegal means was called by its proper name: treason.

Another of those devoutly-to-be-wished consummations that I really, really hope none of you good people are holding your breath waiting for:

DNI Gabbard: Obama Directed a ‘Treasonous Conspiracy’ Against Trump
On this week’s broadcast on FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said former President Barack Obama directed a “treasonous conspiracy” against President Donald Trump during his first term.

Gabbard said, “The implications of this are, frankly, nothing short of historic. Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama if just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue — this is an issue that is so, so serious, it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic.”

“Integrity,” she says. I think it’s just soooo cute how poor Ms Gabbard seems to actually expect anything to be done about Quarter-Black Jesus and what she aptly calls his “treasonous conspiracy.” Alas, Bathhouse Barry and his co-coup plotters are no more likely to be seen rockin’ orange for their heinous crimes against the (former) Republic than Brennan is—or Comey, or Strook-Stroke-Struck, or any of the Bribem crime family, or Fauci, or…

At the end of the day, cynics like Stacy McCain have the right of it.

Those of us who’ve been angry for years about the Steele Dossier, etc., now find ourselves in the shoes of the urban protest mobs demanding #Justice. We know damned well that Team Obama and Team Hillary engaged in wrongdoing, and that they deserve to be punished for it, but what are the chances that Pam Bondi could actually get a criminal conviction in a federal court? Not good — not good at all.

As egregious as the RussiaGate scandal is, the overwhelming likelihood is that nobody involved in this sordid mess will ever be charged with a crime, and that if somehow Bondi does find a way to get indictments against Brennan, Clapper, Comey, et al., the subsequent trial will end in a verdict of acquittal. “Guilty as hell, free as a bird,” to quote Weather Underground alumnus Bill Ayers. “America is a great country.”

‘Fraid not, Stace; America WAS a great country, once upon a time. Alas, the days of her greatness are far, far behind her now.

Yeah, tell me another one, Tommy Flanagan

Had to edit the title, for accuracy. My own arcane title reference explained here.

An Exceptionally Good Liar D卐M☭CRAT: Newsom Reimagines His Record on Gun Rights in the Run-Up to 2028

There, that’s better. Now, onwards.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is doing all he can to obfuscate his abysmal record to prepare for a White House bid in 2028. His latest stunt – he received a SIG Sauer P365 XMACRO from Shawn Ryan while he was sitting for a podcast interview.

It gets better.

For certain values of the word “better,” mind.

Gov. Newsom actually said, “I’m not anti-gun at all. I’m just for some gun safe common-sense. I’m challenged by large capacity clips in urban centers, weapons of war sometimes outgunning the police. But otherwise, man, people have the right to bear arms. I got no ideological opposition to that at all.”

If you believe that, I’ve got a Golden Gate Bridge to sell you.

Here’s Gov. Newsom’s problem. We have the receipts. Heck, everyone has the receipts. The firearm industry hasn’t forgotten the time California Attorney General Rob Bonta – working for Gov. Newsom -“leaked” the personal information of every California concealed carry permit holder. Gov. Newsom’s self-professed affinity for the Second Amendment is about as hollow as former Vice President Kamala Harris’ attempt to side with gun owners by saying she owns a GLOCK handgun.

Perhaps Gov. Newsom thinks no one remembers his failed publicity stunt to nullify the Second Amendment with a proposed 28th Amendment. In 2023, Gov. Newsom wanted to export California-style gun control to the rest of the United States by proposing a “Right to Safety” – an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would strip Second Amendment rights from individuals and instead make the government the arbiter of which firearm “privileges” would be allowed. That would be recipe for disaster.

Townhall.com did the math for everyone who hasn’t been attempting to tally every gun control law Gov. Newsom has signed. Don’t feel bad for not keeping track. They’ve been coming at a dizzying pace. Since 2019, when he took office, he signed nearly 70 gun control laws. For someone who claims to respect Second Amendment rights, he’s got an odd way of demonstrating it.

Well, I mean, y’know, DUH. Don’t know who the hell Gruesome Newsome thinks he’s fooling here, but in reality it amounts to just another spectacular demonstration of the plain and simple truth fact, no matter what lies they may try to peddle to the contrary (for instance, “I’ve been an avid hunter my whole life!”), shitlib D卐M☭CRATs and the 2A DO NOT MIX.

From Kenny – The Real Reason for the Epstein Blowup

Posted on July 15, 2025July 16, 2025 by Barry

In a Daily comment Kenny uncovers the reason for the epstein blowup – trying to divert attention from the fantastic economic news. The Comment:

Last Friday it was reported that the Fed Gov ran a surplus for the month of June. I missed it then and saw it yesterday. I went to look at the report and the details.

But the lede was buried. Here’s some extraordinary facts.

For the past 4 months (Mar, Apr, May, June 2025), outlays aka Fed Spending is DOWN year over year compared to the same 4 months in 2024. When can you recall that happening? Given an inflation rate of 2.3% the Real Spending is down even more.

Revenues are UP over that same period.

So, the Deficit is already trending well downward. The last 2 months compared to last year it’s down 31%. From 418B to 290B. That’s not seasonally adjusted. At a 30% rate the deficit from last year of 1.9T could be 1.3T over the 12 months ending June 2026.

It’s still a lot, but that’s a vast improvement and he’s really just getting started. The Big Beautiful Law just kicked in, the Courts have been rebuked with their injunctions and the tariffs only hit a few months ago.

Don’t believe the FUD, it’s a sequel.
That’s why they’re trying to pivot to Epstein.

Don’t let them get away with it again. It’s why they released the scamVirus in the Trump first term.

Update_1:
Now he is free to focus on the things he needs to do to make America great again- the economy, jobs, GDP, bringing manufacturing back to the USA, tariffs, pushing Fed Chief Jerome Powell to resign, so we can get lower interest rates; getting rid of income taxes; ending the threat of WW3; sealing the border; expanding the mass deportation; getting rid of DEI in government, military, corporations and colleges; removing transgender brainwashing from our schools; getting boys out of girls sports events; and making elections honest again by getting Voter ID passed, preventing illegal aliens from voting, and removing illegal aliens from the census count.

Update_2:
According to a report by JustTheNews, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, and other high-level Obama-era operatives have been named in the investigation, which shows a coordinated criminal conspiracy to target political enemies, shield Democrat allies, and manipulate multiple presidential elections — from 2016 through 2024. But it gets better: The probe may now shift jurisdiction to Florida — thanks to none other than Special Counsel Jack Smith’s own raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Can you smell the FEAR in DC?

Update_3:

Per Kenny’s suggestion, my list of Trump Term 1 accomplishments. It’s not everything, just some of those that I thought important enough to be reminded of whenever some nutcase tried to pretend that Trump was unable to accomplish anything…

1) stopped ISIS cold
2) EO stopping the drug companies from charging medicare more than what they charged foreign countries
3) EO forcing hospitals to disclose their prices
4) Move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
5) ENERGY INDEPENDENCE for the first time in my lifetime of 70 years, and record low energy prices
6) Started no new wars
6A) Abraham Accords, bringing peace to the middle east instead of war
7) Elimination of regulations, required to eliminate 8 to add a new one
8) Cut Taxes across the board
9) Increased the individual tax credit eliminating the need to file more complicated returns
10) Started the space force, sorely needed today
11) Replaced NAFTA with an agreement better for American workers
12) Put tariffs on china, starting the process of moving American production out of the enemy’s land
13) Brought back massive amounts of money saved in foreign countries
14) Withdrew from the farce know as the Paris Climate Accords
15) Withdrew from the Iran deal
16) Increased the $$$ of the average family by over 5K
17) Started the process of fixing the VA
18) Increased the spending by other NATO countries
19) Killed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
20) Created several million jobs, actual creation not bafflegab bullshit
21) Economic growth rates were going up, somewhere around 4% before the marxist killed the economy with the scam chinaVirus
22) Lowest rate of unemployment ever, across the board for blacks, hispanics, asians, veterans, etc.
23) Opened ANWAR and had the Keystone pipeline being constructed

There is much more of course.

That’s just a short list. Trump did this by himself, with little to no help from the republican party opposition from the republican party and the democrats. He did this while the deep state through the FBI, intelligence agencies, congress, and the DOJ were conducting illegal surveillance and investigations. But Trump didn’t falter, didn’t stop. He just kept on working.

No one else was capable of doing this, no one else has ever done this, no one else will.

The incredible disappearing “client list”

Posted on July 11, 2025July 12, 2025 by Mike

Tonight’s Eyrie submission casts a jaundiced eye upon the Trump admin’s self-beclownment via unforced error concerning the too-conveniently phantasmagorical, now you see it-now you don’t Epstein client list. Coinky-dinkally enough, our bigly esteemed blog-colleague Ken Layne posts a bit of relevant meme-ology over at his crib. To wit:

Mo’ bettah.

The not-subtle, courteous-to-a-fault complaint tacitly made in that second meme above—using a sotto voce which reeks of hopelessness and despair as the realization sinks in at last: there will never be a reckoning for any of the well-connected frequent fliers on the Lolita Express—is sure to leave a powerfully bitter taste in the mouths of even the most placid, steadfastly unflappable Real Americans.

Those folks are a decent, justly proud albeit unassuming breed—endowed as individuals from birth, seemingly, with inexhaustible reserves of equanimity—whose interest in, patience for, and/or willingness to put up with ceaseless torrents of breathlessly gushing Hot Breaking News!!© reportage (despite the aforementioned equanimity) are in the main so grudgingly extended, greedily infinitesimal, and short-lived as to be undetectable using any method, process, or device known to modern science.

Or, to lay a-holt of a hoary, innocuous blogospherical catchphrase we’ve all heard a blue million times already and stand it on its head, so to speak:

This time, it AIN’T funny ‘cause it’s true.

Update! Looks like it is ON.

BONDI OR BONGINO: Bongino Won’t Remain At FBI If Bondi Keeps Job, Source Says
Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi have sparred over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Dan Bongino, the Deputy Director of the FBI, is threatening to leave the bureau if Attorney General Pam Bondi remains on the job, a source close to Bongino tells The Daily Wire.

Bongino is reportedly furious with Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which has led many to believe he could walk away from the job that he took in February. The source close to Bongino said that he’s effectively issued an ultimatum, saying he won’t work alongside Bondi.

Bongino left a lucrative career in broadcasting to take the job in the Trump administration. He was not present at the FBI on Friday, after a reported spat with the attorney general earlier this week over the Epstein situation.

The rift between Bongino and Bondi intensified on Wednesday, days after the Department of Justice announced there was no evidence to prove that child rapist Jeffrey Epstein had a client list, had blackmailed powerful people, or had been murdered. Bondi had promised to reveal major details in the case five months ago, when there were no massive revelations to bring forward.

The deputy FBI director, who raised questions about Epstein’s death before he was in the Trump administration, said in May that his review of the file and hours of video recording from Epstein’s jail proved that the child abuser committed suicide. FBI Director Kash Patel also said that the evidence the bureau has reviewed shows that Epstein was not murdered.

A source close to the Justice Department told The Daily Wire that Patel also wants Bondi gone, and that he would consider departing alongside Bongino. The source also said that Patel wants Bondi to unseal more documents.

I have to say, this whole shit-circus has left me mighty damned disappointed in Ms Bondi. Which, I hate that, actually; I had terrifically high hopes for that gal back when Trump first picked her for AG. Now, though? Not so much, sad to say.

Of course, we don’t know the whole story here, possibly never will. That said, though, I’m thinking Trump’s people are going to find it extremely tough to reconcile the fact that Bondi explicitly stated back in February that she had the client list sitting on her desk among a bunch of other heretofore unreleased material and that she’d be releasing the whole kit and kaboodle the following Monday, IIRC, with the current admin claims that there IS no client list; that there never WAS any client list; that all the hinky aspects of Epstein’s purported “suicide” never actually happened, etc.

So what goes on here, anyway? As pretty much everybody knows by now, or should know at any rate, the clumsy “Epstein committed suicide” ploy didn’t pass the smell test; right from the beginning, there was evidence aplenty indicating something entirely Else, great interlocking. mutually-supporting heaps of it. Now, though, the Trump team tries to tell us that there’s “no evidence?”

Sorta calls to mind Praetorian Media’s continually repeated refrain, from mid-November 2020 on, sniffily dismissing “Trump’s baseless claims” of election jiggery-pokery, a rousing Halleluja Chorus of “no evidence” for fraud, tampering, ballot-box stuffing, phonus-balonus absentee/early ballots, &c—the list goes on from there, and it is by no means a short one.

Sorry, Mr President sir, but anybody who’s even half-heartedly paid attention to the Everest of clear, documentary evidence in support of contentions of massive, systemic fraud rife before, during, and after the 2020 Presidential “election” knows better.

This just might be the most unappetizing tidbit from the whole rancid, offputting shit-sandwich.

“In February, I did an interview on Fox, and it’s been getting a lot of attention because … I was asked a question about the ‘client list’ and my response was, ‘It’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file, along with the JFK, MLK files as well,” Bondi said during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. “That’s what I meant by that.”

During that same Cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump blasted a reporter for asking Bondi about the Epstein case.

“That is unbelievable. … I mean I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this when we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas,” Trump said. “It just seems like a desecration.”

“Desecration,” my withered, baggy ass. You say you want to drain the Swamp? Well, I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate just how serious you really are about it than by shining a bright light upon the sloppily-concealed facts surrounding the murder, by Swamp rats, of one of their fellow Swamp-dwellers who had was too much on them for their own comfort.

Deny it all you want to; play along with the Deep State éminences grise to your heart’s content. It doesn’t amount to a hill of beans at this point—they still won’t trust you, they’ll never trust you. Before long, they’ll decide it’s necessary to remove the threat you represent to them in their own minds. This, they will assuredly do, or hire it done, rather, only next time it won’t be some cognitively-impaired, maladjusted teenage whackjob on whom the Secret Service and/or FBI “security” personnel will helpfully turn their backs and avert their gaze from; preposition ladders, rifles, and/or other essential equipment; unlock doors, switch off interior lighting, and close blinds/curtains. After all those preps are done, “security” will spend whatever time remains before the scheduled first pull of the trigger on shrugging off credible reports of suspicious persons, movements, and/or behavior given by alarmed locals who witnessed what was going down at firsthand, in real time.

No, no more of that amateur-hour clowning around. Next time, the contract will be offered to none but seasoned professionals, who will preferably have extensive military sniper training and field expertise. Afterwards, the shooter will police up the general AO—cigarette butts, candy/gum wrappers, boot-prints, empty water bottles, spent brass (assuming he didn’t just rig one of those fancy-schmancy brass-catcher thingamabobbers over his weapon’s ejection port before heading out for the field, thereby making his life a heck of a lot easier). This is NOT the sort of task on which a true professional would ever dream of doing less than a one hundred and ten percent perfect job; after all, it’s his own ass he’ll be saving (or endangering) by it. As such, he will leave no traces of his physical presence behind for investigators to find layer, nor will there be any slightest hint of his ever having been in the vicinity at all.

Unless something goes horribly awry, the shooter’s name will never be known, his true identity a fanatically guarded secret shared only betwixt the three to six FederalGovCo bureaucreeps behind the whole op, ie the small cabal of secret plotters responsible for choosing, recruiting, hiring, and briefing the members of the hit team (a shooter, a spotter, a cpl of gear-humpers who will later double as back-watchers and perimeter guards—probably four (4) support personnel all told, five at most, the fewer the better. As an important codicil from the Hells Angels’ charter says: three can keep a secret only if two are dead).

The treasonous original conspirators will pay their SpecWar field operatives with cold, hard cash money, half in advance, half on completion of their mission: wrinkly, crinkly, tattered, battered, well-traveled US greenbux with nonsequential serial numbers in various denominations ranging from one-hundred dollar notes, then fifties, all the way down to a smattering of lowly double-sawbucks, said currency having been passed along, around, through, and among hands beyond counting.

Once the operators have been paid off in full, all involved parties will disappear like a thin fog wafting off the surface of a lake, this spectral condensation quickly cooking off into nothingness by the heat of the rising summer sun—a damp, chilly mist that vanishes faster than a cockroach caught square in the middle of the kitchen floor when you turn on the light. Same-same with the assassination-provoking, power-obsessed cock-a-roaches on two legs who, if they’re anything like as smart as their more-admirable Neopteran cousins, will likewise vanish, never to be seen or heard tell of again by we lower-caste denizens of the overt world.

Believe it, Mr President: you’ll never know what hit you.

Trump tears cum-garglng Commie a new one

It’s a thing of beauty, this one is.

Trump blasts Zohran Mamdani as a ‘100% Communist Lunatic’ in scathing NYC mayoral rant: ‘Democrats have crossed the line’
President Trump blasted Zohran Mamdani’s politics – and looks – Wednesday after the socialist’s stunning upset in New York’s Democratic mayoral primary.

“Democrats have crossed the line” by elevating “100% Communist Lunatic,” Trump railed in a Truth Social post.

“We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” he added.

“He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him.”

As is his usual habit, Trump is laying down the truth, the whole truth, and nothing BUT the truth. Yep, he is laying it down alright; How sad it is that New York shitlibs are either

Too goddamn stupid to perceive the need to pick up on it
Too pig-ignorant and/or plain old stiubbrn to admit to themselves the metastasizing urgency of the City’s plight
Too complacent and smug to have any interest in expending the time and efffort\ on such a taxing thing

More, and worse.

Zohran Mamdani’s shock win over Andrew Cuomo fuels rumors of AOC 2028 presidential run: ‘Broadens her horizons’
Speculation is swirling about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s plans for 2028 after she successfully endorsed dark-horse socialist Zohran Mamdani in the heated New York City Democratic mayoral primary.

Many observers believe the lefty “Squad” member will try to move up from her House seat — whether to the Senate or even the White House — in the aftermath of Mamdani’s stunning upset over ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Tuesday night.

“It just continues to open more doors,” Corbin Trent, Ocasio-Cortez’s former spokesperson and author of America’s Undoing Substack, told The Post. “It just broadens her horizons.”

The 35-year-old Bronx and Queens congresswoman was perhaps the most high-profile Democrat to throw her weight behind Mamdani, 33, at a time when he was widely seen as the underdog in the race.

God help us.

Solid as a rock

Just in case anybody had forgotten just how long, consistently, and unequivocally Trump has insisted that the Mad Mullahs must NEVER be allowed to join the ranks of the world’s so-called Nuclear Powers.

The White House is bringing receipts about President Donald Trump’s unwavering stance that Iran can not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon, shutting down criticism from those who claim otherwise.

“President Donald J. Trump has never wavered in his stance that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon — a pledge he has made repeatedly, both in office and on the campaign trail,” a lengthy thread on X shared by the Official Rapid Response account of the Trump 47 White House read.

The thread contained numerous clips of comments Trump has made on the issue, proving that he’s not the peace-loving hippie that some had pretended he would be when he returned to the White House.

Follows, Tweet after Tweet after Tweet by way of documentary evidence for the above “numerous clips” statement.

Now, I was quite pleased by Trump’s oft-repeated campaign pledge that, as President, he intended to extricate the US from as many as practicable of the futile, open-ended brushfire wars in which we’re currently mired to well above the axles around the globe—wars in which no US national interest of any kind is to be found; wars in which many thousands of good American soldiers will be maimed and/or killed for no good reason; wars in which victory is neither defined nor necessarily even pursued as the end goal; wars whose underlying rationale is not the defense of the nation’s interior land mass, population, wealth, or national sovereignty against an aggressor-nation.

Nor is the underlying rationale the suppression of a hostile rival, nor expansion of its territory, nor securing its national borders. Important considerations all, to be sure, affording ample justification for making war in the Aulden Thymes of Yore. Not so much nowadays, though; wars of conquest, wars for gold, natural resources, or merely because our King and y’all’s King just can’t stand the sight of one another are all pretty much historical relics now. In the modern era, the bottom-line truth of what virtually every war is/was really all about is fattening the bank accounts of certain powerful, top-tier players of the World’s Great Game. Funny how things do change, innit?

Twinned with his most laudable goal of pulling us out of wasteful, costly wars of choice we never should’ve blundered our way into in the first place, Trump also vowed that he would likewise be HIGHLY resistant to jumping into any new Forever Wars as well.

On the other hand, though, it must also be noted that simply shrugging off the cold, hard reality that war, awful as we all know it to be, can sometimes be necessary, just, even beneficial isn’t very helpful either. Attempting to implement a foreign policy founded entirely on the blanket, puerile rejection of any and all war, forever and ever amen, is no more practical-minded, workable, or sustainable than Amerika v2.0’s current “Invade the world, invite the world” strategery is.

At least pacifists have a philosophy, if only a half-baked one, to fall back on for an explanation of and/or excuse for how muttonheaded and wrong they are.

Elsewhere, Ace ain’t having any of the “Trump promised no more wars” twipe historical revisionists are currently pitching hissy fits all over the Innarnuts over. A taste:

Apparently when Trump said this over and over and over again, the hyper-isolationists all heard him saying, “I promise I will pursue Barack Obama’s Iran policy and help Iran get a nuclear bomb. And also, again like Barack Obama, when Iran’s regime is fatally threatened, I will step in to save it.”

He never said these things. You made them up. You wanted him to say them, but he never, ever did.

The hyper-isolationists are threatening that Trump doing the things Trump has repeatedly promised to do would “fracture the base.” This is their threat that they’ll abandon and oppose Trump.

Yet they don’t consider that Trump doing what they demand and using our military and economic power to harm Israel to aid Iran would also fracture the base.

I didn’t vote for your fucking queerbait RoN pAuL!!!-cum-Medea-Benjamin gaywad peacenik foreign policy. Trump, as I already wrote, has always said that he thinks the Deep State’s ambition to be at war at all times in all countries is insane and that he would stop that, and that he wants to be known for ending wars rather than starting them.

But he’s also made it clear, as he did when he used missile attacks to all but wipe out ISIS and also assassinate Iran’s top terror commander, that enemy countries which do not accept his open hand will feel his closed fist.

He also has repeatedly stated that he completely supports Israel. I know the Tucker Carlson circle thinks that Israel is The Real Terrorist Enemy and now is literally calling for the US to attack Tel Aviv — Darryl Cooper, the man Tucker Carlson praised and glazed as “the most important popular historian [i.e., ‘Twitter crank’] writing today” expressly called for the US Air Force to bomb Tel Aviv.*

That’s not Trump’s policy. He promised to support Israel, and to stop Iran from getting the bomb.

That is what he said, that is what he promised, and that is what we voted for.

A-yup, that covers it pretty well, I believe. Like it or lump it, ya sniveling losers.

Ruh-roohhh

Posted on June 16, 2025June 17, 2025 by Mike

The earlier Iran war post was getting long in the tooth enough that I thought it high time to start a brand new, fresh one on the topic.

BREAKING: Trump Departs G7 Early. Is Something Big About to Go Down?
On Monday evening, President Donald Trump issued an ominous warning to Iran.

“Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign,” he said in a post on Truth Social. “What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

Moments ago, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that he’s leaving the G7 Summit in Canada:

He is reportedly leaving the summit early to go back to Washington, D.C.

Unconfirmed reports on X suggest that strikes on Tehran began right after Trump’s post on Truth Social.

Trump followed up his original post with another saying, “AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

President Trump clearly isn’t playing games. According to Fox News, he’s ordered the National Security Council to be ready in the White House Situation Room—an unmistakable sign that something big is going on. Military, intelligence, and diplomatic channels are all on high alert. Missiles are being prepped on both sides.

Yikes! As stated earlier, not a whole lot we can do now but just wait and see. Meanwhile, the psychos in charge of Iran are ramping up the Doomsday rhetoric higher and hotter than ever before.

Meanwhile, the Iranian regime just turned up the heat. In a chilling escalation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has publicly warned that a strike on Israel is imminent, and they’re not mincing words. “All cities, facilities, and centers will be considered legitimate military targets,” the IRGC declared, urging evacuations across the so-called “occupied territories.”

Aerospace forces are reportedly preparing to launch within hours, as Tehran moves from vague threats to explicit ultimatums. This isn’t posturing—it’s a direct challenge, framed to strike both military and psychological blows.

There’s never been any reason to assume the wild-eyed fanatics in Tehran lack the will, the desire, to make good on their ever-more-hair-raising threats of revenge, destruction, and death against Satans both Great and Lesser. Quite the opposite, in fact. The only question is, do the Mad Mullahs have the means which would enable them to make good on their fiery bluster? The materiél, the reach, the faith and trust of the lower-ranking military personnel who will be the ones charged with actually carrying out the “Go!” order once it’s been issued?

A related question which looms ever larger: after years of Western governments deliberately importing hordes of unassimilable, unvetted Moslem savages into the US and Europe, scattering them willy-nilly across their soft, inattentive nations as “refugees,” nearly all of them military-service-age males—a resettlement program which, incredibly, didn’t even bother to track these men or keep records on where they wound up—how confident can we really be that they aren’t even now quietly watching and waiting for a “Go!” order of their own?

Update! Well. WellwellwellwellwellwellwellwellwellWELL.

New: Iran Folds Like a Wash-and-Wear Suit, Starts Begging for a Ceasefire
Things aren’t going well for Iran. While the Islamist nation has managed to kill some civilians by indiscriminately lobbing ballistic missiles at Israel, when it comes to the actual business of winning the war, the scoreboard isn’t even close. The latest evidence of that? Iran is now begging for a ceasefire.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Mullahs are looking for an off-ramp, burning up the backchannels to try to get the United States to bail them out.

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.

In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials it would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn’t join the attack, the officials said. Iran also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

I’m not sure if what’s left of the Iranian leadership doesn’t understand how negotiations work, but they probably should have taken them seriously before Israel began its military operation to destroy their nuclear program. It took only three days for the IDF to establish air superiority over Tehran, and they are now bombing regime targets with impunity. That includes the launchers being used to shoot missiles at Israel. Once that threat is minimized, the Mullahs will have nothing left to respond with.

In other words, Iran is on the ropes, and that’s why they are desperately hoping President Donald Trump’s instinct to negotiate gives them a face-saving off-ramp that preserves the regime. Will that happen? I don’t know, but I know what I think should happen.

He lays out what he thinks in the very next ‘graph, an opinion with which I must say I concur without reservation. That stipulated, I probably should also note that the timestamp indicates that this piece went live shortly after the lunch hour this afternoon, so may well have been overtaken by events since then.

Updated update! A later post, this one from a little after 7 PM this evening, portrays Trump as playing hardball, talking tough, and showing no interest whatsoever in backing off or “moderating” his stance one single bit. None of which should come as any big surprise to anybody, being perfectly typical of the man.

Breaking: Trump Declares Iran Cannot Have a Nuclear Weapon, Warns People to Evacuate Tehran ‘Immediately’
President Donald Trump made waves at the G7 on Monday by refusing to sign a joint statement calling for “restraint” between Israel and Iran. The statement would have also affirmed the latter’s ability to have a nuclear program under the guise of “supervision.”

In other words, Trump has no interest in preserving the status quo that led us to this point in the first place.

Joe Biden would have rushed to sign that statement, but the days of America taking a backseat to the clowns at the G7, including France, Canada, the UK, and Germany, are over. This is not the time for “restraint.” It’s the time to let Israel finish the job, considering how much of the hard work has already been done. Iran’s air defenses have been neutralized, and the IDF has total air superiority. The Mullahs have no leverage and nothing to offer at this point. Giving them an off-ramp to save their nuclear program would be moronic. So, of course, that’s what the Canadians and Europeans are calling for. They are nothing if not perpetually weak and useless.

And if we know anything at all about our sitting President by now, it’s that he don’t play none of that “weak and useless” shit. “Weak and useless” is not who he is, not what he does, and is for sure and certain no part of what got him elected by a landslide. Thank goodness.

Update to the updated update! The peerless Robert Spencer lays down some of the backstory for us.

As far back as Nov. 2012, a huge billboard on Tehran’s Niayesh highway depicted a missile with the legend, “Destination Tel Aviv.” It attracted little attention from the Iranians who drove by it. Over the previous three decades of living in the Islamic Republic, they had become accustomed to a steady barrage of bellicose anti-Israel rhetoric. From the moment the Iranian mullahs took power, they had been outspoken about their hostility to Israel. The Ayatollah Khomeini dubbed Israel “the Little Satan” and once declared, “this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time.”

The Islamic Republic has been determined from its inception to make sure that happened. It set out to make good on its aggressive rhetoric in the early 1980s by creating Hizballah as a permanent force set against the Jewish state. During the 2006 Israeli-Hizballah conflict, Iranian forces directly aided Hizballah, and two members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps were killed fighting alongside Hizballah in Lebanon. Hundreds of Iranian soldiers aided Hizballah in firing missiles into Israel.

Iran’s proxy war against Israel didn’t begin after Oct. 7. As far back as March 2009, Iran was shipping weapons to Gaza through Sudan—until Israeli forces carried out airstrikes against the shipments. Two years later, Israeli commandos boarded a cargo ship flying the Liberian flag. On it they found, in containers that were labeled as carrying cotton and lentils, mortar shells and Chinese-made anti-ship missiles bound for Hamas. Instruction manuals were written in Farsi. The cargo had been loaded in the Syrian port of Latakia; then the ship had made its way to Turkey before attempting to pass by Israeli defenses and get its cargo to Hamas.

On July 18, 2012, a caller to Bulgaria’s tourist office warned that a group of Israeli tourists who were just arriving would be “welcomed by two bombs.” When the tourists duly arrived at Bulgaria’s Burgas International Airport, they boarded a bus to their hotel—and seven people were killed and over thirty more wounded when a bomb tore through that bus.

Benjamin Netanyahu immediately pointed to the mullahs and accused them of carrying out terror attacks against Israelis all over the globe: “All signs point towards Iran. Over the last few months we have seen Iran’s attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other countries. Exactly 18 years to the day after the horrendous attack on the Jewish Community Center in Argentina, deadly Iranian terrorism continues to strike at innocent people. This is a global Iranian terror onslaught and Israel will react firmly to it.”

Nearly thirteen years later, that Iranian terror onslaught continues, and Israel is finally taking decisive action to end it once and for all. The Jewish state deserves the gratitude of the free world.

Indeed it does, good sir. The tunnel-visioned ((((!!!JooJooJooJOOOOO!!!))))-H8RRR single-issue obsessives and their Cyclopean doctrine which insists on dumping our parasitic false friends of the “Zionist entity” as our go-to partner in the ME—diplomatically, militarily, economically, philosophically, to name but a few of the bonds which connect us—in preference for embracing “our natural allies” the Muzzrats are looking mighty doggone silly right about now whether they realize it or not, even moreso in light of the above (only partial, remember) damning indictment of the Iranian regime.

Can’t say how accurate the central premise here really is, but the thinly-veiled insult couched therein makes it an entertaining read anyway.

Where’s Barack? A Legacy Lurking in the Back Row
We’ve seen the pattern before. A crisis brews. The stakes rise. The Democratic bench starts looking thinner than Kamala Harris’s approval rating. Panic spreads like a brushfire through a dry Iowa field. Cameras swivel. Eyebrows arch. And then, like clockwork, someone utters the question that hovers between desperation and delusion:

Where’s Barack Obama?

It’s not rhetorical.

And no, he’s not coming.

Not when it matters. Not when it’s hard. Not when the heavy lifting begins and everybody’s looking for someone with strength, clout, and credibility to pick up the load.

Obama is quick to weigh in with eloquent hindsight.

He’ll tweet.

He’ll podcast.

He’ll deliver a university lecture with the tempo of a symphony.

This, after all, is the man who once told the world he was the one we’d been waiting for, that the rise of the oceans would begin to slow and our planet would begin to heal.

But when the moment demands more than language, when political muscle, risk, and sweat are required, he evaporates. Like fog off a tepid lake. All promise, no presence.

Like vapor off a wet sidewalk in August, his presence fades just as the temperature rises.

Oh, I dunno about all THAT, now; seems like even for a guy supposedly restricting himself entirely to lurking in the shadows, he’s managed to do a hell of a lot of quantifiable real-world damage just the same.

Your obligatory “Show more” end run:

BREAKING: Secretary Kristi Noem fires back at Democrat Senator Alex Padilla — who’s now claiming mistreatment after storming a DHS press conference.

“I think his statement is actually ridiculous.”

She laid out exactly what happened from her perspective.

“This man burst into a room, started advancing towards the podium, interrupting an opening statement, elevating his voice, shouting questions.”

“People tried to stop him from interrupting the press conference, he refused and continued to lunge towards the podium and that is when he was removed from the room.”

Then came the reality check:

“So the way that he acted was completely inappropriate.”

“It wasn’t becoming of a U.S. Senator or a public official and perhaps he wanted the scene and that’s what he wanted.”

The rest of country is tired of these charades:

“But I think the American people are sick of this action.”

“I think the American people are tired of this, they just want the truth and they want to know it’s happening and that’s what we were trying to provide.”

Just remember: anyone attempting to govern against the will of the D卐M☭CRATs will pay a heavy price for their balls-out impudence.
