Culture of Chaos

Fake news

One day, two Instapundit posts by my old bud Steve Green. First up:

Next we have:

Okay, Stephen, which is it, then? Because they both can’t be true, I shouldn’t think.

Update! Ace excerpts a Rick Moran PJM post which in turn links to a Politico post that would seem to put the argument to bed once and for all in the Repugs’ favor, in just a cpl-three short sentences.

The Republican National Committee has $129 million in cash on hand. The Democrats are still $2 million in debt. That bespeaks an organization that’s floundering, unable to raise money to pay what it owes.

A-yup, makes sense to me. In debt; floundering; irresponsible, hopelessly impractical—sounds completely in-character for the Dims, don’t it?

No shit, Dick Tracy, where’s the fuckin’ squad car?

Trump FINALLY figures it out. Well, kinda-sorta, I suppose.

President Trump Signals End of “Waste of Time” Ceasefire With Iran
There is a moment in every failed negotiation when one side finally says out loud what everyone else has been thinking. That moment arrived Wednesday in Ankara, when President Donald Trump, seated beside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the alliance’s annual summit, was asked about the status of America’s tentative ceasefire with Iran. His answer required no translation from diplomatic language because he refused to use any.

“For me, I think it’s over,” Trump said. “As far as I’m concerned it’s just a waste of time.”

Trump’s frustration was not with the terms of the deal but with the character of the men across the table. He accused Iranian negotiators of agreeing to terms in private and then denying them in public, a pattern anyone who has followed four decades of Islamic Republic diplomacy will recognize instantly.

“They’re liars. We make a deal. … They go outside, talk to the press. They say, ‘We never even talked about it.’ … As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.”

He left the door open for his negotiators to keep meeting with their Iranian counterparts, then promptly explained why it would accomplish nothing. “They can talk, but I think they’re wasting their time. They’re liars, they’re cheats. They’re sick people.”

“Left the door open”? Yeah, you might say that…unfortunately.

The United States Is Still Talking to Iran After Big Strikes
Technical talks between the United States and Iran are ongoing despite recent strikes and apparent rising tensions.

A United States official confirmed to Townhall that “the United States is still committed to finding a resolution, and technical talks continue,” adding that “Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.”

Yeah, well, until you mouthy jackasses recognize once and for all that A) no “deal” you ever reach with them will be worth the simple chronic halitosis expelled during the “negotiations,” and B) the Mad Mullah regime can NOT be trusted, will NEVER negotiate in good faith, and is SUPREMELY uninterested in what the political leadership of the Great Satan might think about their insane ambitions, then an Iranian nuke isn’t quite the practical impossibility certain Administration personnel would have us believe.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: as long as there remains a political entity in the ME called the Islamic Republic of Iran, then the job isn’t truly done. And until such time as Amerika v2.0’s political leadership has the intestinal fortitude to see that project through to the bitter, painful end, we shouldn’t even be dicking around over there at all.

Love him or hate him, Trump is only human, and as such is every bit as capable of making a mistake as anybody else. It’s my carefully considered opinion that he’s made a YUUUUGE one here, and needs to try, try again until he gets it right. It’s only the whole world that’s at stake, that’s all—no pressure or anything, Mr President, sir.

The most heinous injustice of all time?

Schlichter mulls it over.

Savages vs. Civilization
Karmelo Anthony—his first name sounds like some off-brand 99 Cent Store nougat confection—is going to prison for 35 years, and he is relatively lucky. He is lucky he does not live in a society that treats monsters appropriately. A civilized society does not tolerate his brand of sociopathy. It executes such criminals—not only as righteous retribution and not only as an example to others, but as an act of societal hygiene. For a millennium, Europe hanged, beheaded, or otherwise dispatched about 1 percent of its male population every year for various crimes, and you know what? After a while, there were not that many more criminals left. European society was remarkably peaceful as far as crime, if not as far as war. But we moderns decided to go another way. We decided this was too harsh. We decided this was too mean. So, we decided to tolerate nonsense, and it is no surprise what has happened. The kindness to criminals has, inevitably, turned into cruelty to the innocent.

There is a culture clash in America going on between models of public behavior. The primarily European model of public consideration for others is one in which you do not try to dominate public spaces and where you are aware of and considerate of other people who are present. And then there is the Third World model, which we are all experiencing more and more, and we are getting pretty damn tired of it. That is one where interactions in public spaces are a test of power. Can you be obnoxious and get away with it?

We are seeing this a lot lately in various forms. How about the idiots who think it is a great idea to turn on their phones’ speakers and have loud conversations in public? We have reached the point on airplanes where we must remind people that they need to use headphones if they are going to be listening to music or videos. Were these people raised by wolves? Some of them are obviously stupid. Some are retaining the habits of their garbage homelands. But for others, it is a way of showing they are the boss and daring others to stop them. That is what the black father in Brooklyn did when some idiot was shouting into his phone. He told the guy to stop, and the guy murdered him.

These two models of behavior are incompatible. You can either have a civilized society, or you can have a Third World society and everything that comes along with it. For a long time, we have been tolerating Third World behavior. But that seems to be ending. People are calling out this problem, including the racial aspects, which was unprecedented until the left normalized it. Now, the civilized are striking back, and they really do not care if you call them racist because they do not want to put up with idiots acting the fool in public.

In the case of Karmelo Anthony, he decided he was going to be a jerk and go into someone else’s area and dare people to stand up to his crap. Well, Austin Metcalf stood up to him, so he took that as a threat to his manhood and murdered Austin Metcalf without a second thought. That kind of Third World idiocy is endemic to much of the world. And, not coincidentally, where it is endemic, there is poverty, chaos, corruption, and general misery. A society where you cannot discipline yourself to not be a jerk and where you must constantly test all of those around you to prove your own manhood is one that does not go to the moon. Instead, it goes down to the polluted river with a plastic bucket that was imported, because your trash country does not make anything, to get cholera-laden water to carry back to your hut.

We are done accepting excuses. We are done accepting bad behavior. There is no racial debt that must be paid back in the blood of innocents. Those of us of a certain age have seen the coming backlash before, after liberals have normalized and tolerated crime for a while. Inevitably, the tough-on-crime politicians get elected and impose tough-on-crime policies. But what is different this time is that the people are calling this out for what it is. As his supporters have made clear, Karmelo Anthony thought he had a special kind of street code that gave him a free pass to butcher anybody who pointed out his obnoxious public behavior. Well, we reject that, and you can call us all the names you want. It does not work anymore. Some amorphous sense of collective guilt is not going to convince us to agree to being murdered. The consensus is developing that we need to stop putting up with this behavior and start putting people in jail for a long, long time. Now, of course, that is the moderate solution. The real solution is to start promptly executing criminals even as we purge our institutions of this bizarre desire to justify Third World social chaos. Don’t underestimate the potential viciousness of the backlash that is on the way. The thuggish likes of Karmelo Anthony are going to force open an Overton window and are then going to be thrown out of it.

Ultimately, the REAL solution to the problem is to start killing “liberals” in job lots, until so many of them have been exterminated that the remainder is terrified to so much as open their front door to check if it’s raining, because any time they do so a half dozen or so high-caliber bullets come smashing into and/or through it from a long ways off.

Home truths

Posted on April 18, 2026 by Mike

Michael Doran presents a longish, well-reasoned deep dive into what the assault on the Mad Mullah regime is really all about.

Seven Myths About the Iran War
Why so many, on both the left and the right, keep getting Trump wrong

Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East continually surprise the foreign-policy establishment and the media elite. According to commentators on both the right and the left, the reason is that Trump is a megalomaniac—or, as Jon Stewart and former U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan recently agreed on The Daily Show, perhaps addicted to cocaine.

Yet while Trump has repeatedly defied the Beltway consensus on Iran and its allies over the past year and a half, none of the dire consequences that influential commentators predicted have come to pass. World War III hasn’t erupted. The global economy hasn’t collapsed. Instead, the Iranian leadership is dead or decapitated, its nuclear weapons program is buried beneath mountains of rubble, and most of its navy lies at the bottom of the sea. While the loss of 13 U.S. servicemen is a serious matter, it is hardly the thousands of dead and wounded that were routinely predicted as the consequence of any major U.S. action. Israel still exists. So do Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, along with their oil reserves.

Trump has inflicted heavy punishment in return for relatively light consequences, but pundits insist that a masterful Iran is dictating events. Tehran’s “successful” war-fighting tactics supposedly forced Trump to accept a cease-fire. Onlookers were then baffled when the United States walked away from talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, and took steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, to the strategic detriment of China and the benefit of U.S. energy producers.

In part, the surprises keep coming because the cognoscenti refuse to credit Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a win. On April 11, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said the quiet part out loud on CNN’s podcast “Smerconish.” He admitted that while he wanted to see the Iranian regime defeated militarily “because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region,” the real problem for him was something else entirely: “I really don’t want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are two awful human beings. They are both engaged in antidemocratic projects in their own countries. They’re both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America’s standing in the world and Israel’s standing in the world.”

Yeah, well, Thomas Friedman *shrug*.

Friedman’s attitude is not idiosyncratic. Across much of the American and Israeli media, seasoned pundits cannot set aside their contempt for Trump and Netanyahu and have joined the chorus portraying the operation as aimless adventurism. In doing so, they advance the very arguments that serve America’s enemies, undermining the credibility of a successful deterrent action and weakening the case for strong, burden-sharing alliances in the 21st century.

Trump’s Iran campaign is proving so difficult for many observers to parse because it is two conflicts in one. On the battlefield, it pits American and Israeli forces against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). At home, in the realm of ideological warfare, it sets two rival American strategic belief systems against each other—but with a twist. In one corner stand traditional conservatives, represented today by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. In the other stand the transnational progressives associated with Barack Obama and Joe Biden. But this corner is crowded: Alongside them are influential isolationist figures such as Tucker Carlson and restraint-oriented institutions such as the Cato Institute and Defense Priorities, which routinely repeat the same arguments, often verbatim.

Why does the isolationist right stand shoulder to shoulder with the globalist left? Along with a common set of enemies in Trump and Netanyahu, the progressives and America Firsters share a dislike for American global leadership and the use of military force, and therefore they both excuse the behavior of America’s enemies while blaming it for any conflict. When it comes to interpreting Trump’s foreign policy and its results, the two groups often function as one.

Okay, enough already with the excerpting. Definitely read every word of this one, people, it’s a good ‘un.

“Your world means nothing to them”

Posted on December 30, 2025December 30, 2025 by Mike

Makes us even, I suppose; their world means nothing to me. Less than, actually.

Jean Raspail, mass migration, and the meaning of civilisational surrender
Your world means nothing to them. They won’t try to understand. They’ll be cold. They’ll be hungry. They’ll build a fire with your lovely oak door… Every object will lose the meaning you attach to it. What’s beautiful won’t be beautiful anymore.

In 2015, German Chancellor Angela Merkel famously declared “Wir schaffen das” (“We can do this”) as she opened Germany’s borders to a mass influx of refugees. Over a million asylum-seekers, mainly from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq poured into Europe amid the continent’s worst refugee crisis since World War II. Supporters hailed Merkel’s open-door stance as a humanitarian duty, but critics warned of economic strain, cultural clashes, and security risks. In the decade since, Europe has indeed grappled with rising migrant crime and social tensions. But beyond the high-profile incidents of violence, everyday indignities have also come to symbolise the cultural disconnect.

One striking example occurred in Brussels, a migrant was caught frying eggs in a pan over the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a memorial honouring Belgian soldiers fallen in World War I. Just weeks earlier, another migrant had been arrested in Paris for lighting a cigarette using the sacred flame under the Arc de Triomphe. Such acts of casual disrespect, unthinkable to the native population fuel public outrage and raise questions about the boundaries of tolerance in European societies. The Brussels incident, in particular, became a viral image on social media, seen by many as a metaphor for how Europe’s heritage and heroes are treated by newcomers who “have no business” being in those countries. While some observers chalk it up to individual homelessness or ignorance, others view it as a grim sign of cultural insensitivity fostered by years of unvetted mass immigration.

These episodes of desecration, however low-level, provoke a visceral reaction because they touch on something deeper than law-and-order. They reflect a erosion of respect for European history and identity under the pressures of uncontrolled migration. It is as if the “eternal flame” of Europe’s memory is being used as a mere campfire by those with no connection to the sacrifices it represents. This sense of humiliation is keenly felt by many Europeans, especially when they remember that countless young men died in the world wars to defend the very civilisation now seemingly taken for granted. Indeed, if those fallen soldiers could see a foreign vagrant cooking his dinner on their memorial flame, would they think their sacrifice was worth it?

To ask the question is to answer it, methinks.

These are merely the opening ‘graphs of a damned excellent (albeit highly discomfiting) article, of which you will definitely want to read the all.

I’ve had an eBook copy of Camp of the Saints sitting on my phone for a good long while now. It occurs to me that I really need to get started reading the darn thing, I’ve waited quite long enough. Key takeaway lines:

Beyond politics, Raspail’s novel and Europe’s real migrant tensions both underscore a fundamental cultural clash. The clash is not simply about religion (though Islam’s spread in Europe is a major factor) but about worldviews, nations and social norms. Camp of the Saints suggests that our civilisation is not communicable to these people, that many of the newcomers neither understand nor respect the ethos of the West.

By George, I think she’s got it. “Not communicable to these people,” though? Oh, I’m afraid it’s a great deal worse than that: it is anathema to them;. Not only do they not “respect” Western Civ, they positively abhor it as innately and irredeemably degenerate, wicked, and outright evil.

A Lot of “Randomness” About
Some readers have wondered why I have not commented on the weekend shooting at Brown University. That’s chiefly because I have no insight into the event you haven’t heard from others:

This beautiful young girl was one of the murdered students at Brown University. It takes special courage to lead an organization of conservatives on a left wing campus, and I am very sorry our country has lost one of its bright young stars.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. https://t.co/icGrwJAAlX

The loss of a child offends the natural order. The loss of a child at Christmas taints the season for what’s left of a parent’s life. We know the murder of Sarah Beckstrom at Thanksgiving was a direct consequence of government policy whose terrible costs do not fall on those who impose it. Why Ella Cook was killed we cannot yet say. However, her fellow victim has now been named:

The second victim of the Brown University shooting has been identified as 18-year-old Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov.

After brain surgery at age 10, he always dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon, which is what he was studying for.

So a rare public conservative on a left-wing campus and a young man called Mukhammad are killed in the classroom of a Jewish professor. Any or none of those could be relevant factors. Alternatively, it could be some other motive – or no motive at all. Just the rotten luck of the draw. I hope we shall find out, but – thanks to the usual clown-car of forty-eight different municipal, county, state and federal “law-enforcement” agencies – the murderer remains at large.

A shitshow of a dumpster fire of a trainwreck of a dog’s breakfast of a shit-circus all around, then—no more nor less than what we’ve come to expect in Amerika v2.0 these days, sad to say.

Violence: ENDORSED, wholeheartedly

Posted on November 5, 2025November 5, 2025 by Mike

For most D卐M☭CRATs, be they candidates, officeholders, Party officials, or voters, murdering their politicl opponents isn’t objectionable anymore, being more along the lines of SOP at this late date. As i said last night: OPEN. SEASON. Ace pretty much says it all in his post hed and lede:

By Electing Child-Murder Fantasist and Cop-Murder Enthusiast Jay Jones, Democrats Have Chosen Violence
—Ace

At some point, they will succeed in convincing us that the path to political victory runs through rivers of blood, and won’t that be fun.

A barrel o’ laughs, brother, a barrel o’ laughs. Now on to the article Ace cites.

Virginia voters just handed the state’s top law enforcement job to a man who fantasizes about shooting Republicans in the head. Democrat Jay Jones, a former state delegate with a history of unhinged remarks, narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Jason Miyares on Tuesday, winning 51.6% of the vote with 80% of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. His victory marks a stunning comeback for a candidate who spent the final stretch of the campaign explaining away violent threats and a sketchy community service arrangement tied to a reckless driving case.

Jones’s troubles began when 2022 text messages surfaced in which he told then–Republican colleague Carrie Coyner he’d give former House Speaker Todd Gilbert “two bullets to the head” and “piss on his grave.” Coyner also recalled Jones remarking in 2020 that “the deaths of a few police officers could save other lives.”

Just two days before those texts leaked, court records revealed that Jones had satisfied a reckless driving sentence — after being caught going 116 mph in a 70 — by logging half of his required 1,000 hours of community service with his own political action committee, Meet Our Moment. Prosecutors later appointed a special investigator to look into whether Jones misrepresented those hours. The deal spared him jail time and left him with only a $1,500 fine.

Miyares, whose mother escaped communist Cuba and who made history in 2021 as Virginia’s first Hispanic attorney general, ran on law and order. But Democrats rallied around Jones despite the violent rhetoric and ethics questions, proving once again that partisan loyalty trumps basic decency. Virginians may have voted for change — but what they got is an attorney general who once said the quiet part out loud: he dreams about killing his political opponents.

The piece closes with a bitterly factual quote from Johnny MAGA: “Political violence is officially a mainstream position in the Democrat Party.” Yep, it is at that, and no two ways about it. Time and well past time, then, that people on Our Side started acting as if they believed it.

Full force, hard as you can, no pulled punches, no half-measures. Push off the balls of your feet, follow through with your knees, shoulders, and hips; turn from the waist, put all your weight behind your punches. Don’t just wave your arms around, get your whole body into it. Never punch at, punch through. Thumbs down, elbows tucked in, hands up by your ears to guard your head. Lean forward not back, keep your feet moving forward, make him respond to you, not the other way arounf. Do NOT let yourself get stuck in a corner. Boxing 101, my man, Boxing 101.

JD Vance Challenges Dems to Denounce Mamdani Appearing With 1993 WTC Bombing ‘Unindicted Co-Conspirator’
As I wrote earlier on Saturday, Vice President JD Vance was on hand to deliver remarks to an enthusiastic crowd of Marines at the United States Marine Corps’ 250th Birthday Celebration event at Camp Pendleton in California.

But he managed to find time before arriving at the base to give his thoughts on the latest revelations involving Zohran Mamdani – the man whom the Democrats are championing to become the next mayor of New York City.

In case you missed the latest, here’s Bonchie to bring us up to speed on Mamdani seeming in recent days to drop any pretense of being something other than an aficionado of radical Islamist thought:

Who is Imam Siraj Wahhaj? That’s a complicated question, not because his background is morally opaque, but because his history of directly supporting Islamic terrorism is so extensive.

He was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

He called for establishing an Islamic state in America, calling for Muslim immigrants to “establish Allah’s deen.”

He has called for ending democracy in favor of Islamic law.

He testified in defense of Omar Abdel-Rahman, otherwise known as the “Blind Sheik.”

He’s repeatedly encouraged Muslims to use political power in America in service to Islam.

He has three children who have been charged with terrorism offenses.

Anyway, in a post on his X account Saturday, the vice president showed he isn’t willing to let the Democrats slide for their hypocrisy over political violence, challenging them to be consistent on the issue when it comes to Mamdani:

Vance wrote “I’ve been reliably informed that Democrats are opposed to any kind of political violence, so I look forward to them universally condemning Zohran Mamdani for campaigning with an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist plot that killed 6 New Yorkers.”

In a reply to the tweet, he shared a NY Post story on the radical imam and that damning image of him campaigning with Mamdani. The title spells things out: “New York Post: Mamdani appears smiling, arm-in-arm with unindicted ‘93 WTC bombing co-conspirator and terrorist apologist.”

Neither of these two yodeling degenerates ought to be allowed into the US at all, much less showing their asses this way. They should be at the top of Trump’s Deport NOW list. Until they’re escorted in cuffs and shackles onto the flight back to whatever desert shithole they call home, they should be held in a nice, cozy cell on Riker’s Island’s roughest, meanest block-tier. Straight GenPop—no PC, no privileges, no private cell, full integration with the other incarcerees. The Nazi Lowriders, the Mexican Mafia, the Gangster Disciples, whothehellever wants to take a pop at their sorry asses, have at it. Every screw on the block needs to develop a serious case of the Cain’t See disease any time they see a squad of big, burly pipehitters maneuvering these two scrags into a tight, poorly-lighted area.

For the life of me, I just cannot see how ANY self-respecting New Yorker could countenance casting a ballot for this Mamdani turdball. Yes, I am aware that the place is jam-packed from the Bronx to the Battery with dyed-in-the-wool Leftards; that in NYC even the Republicans have to tack a “-Liberal” onto their name, and even then they seldom win; that even the so-called “conservatives” are just like those in Europe—ie, NOT.

Nevertheless.

Lest we forget, this is still the city that suffered immensely in the long, drawn-out aftermath of 9/11; there are still folks there who vividly remember that blackest of days. And now, having survived that hellish nightmare, having buried thousands of their fellow New Yorkers afterward, having for weeks inhaled lungful after lungful of the acrid, choking smoke made of the burning buildings, office furniture, carpets, cars, etc—a good portion of which smoke consisted also of the incinerated bodies of yet more of their fellow New Yorkers (firefighters, cops, EMTs. WTC office personnel, friends, neighbors)—they’re going to line up like goddamned lemmings and elect as mayor an evil sumbitch who consorts with, flatters, and flashes his toothiest whore’s grin at those self-same pusbags? As if 1993 and 9/11 had never even happened at all?

If they DO usher this Muzzie-fellating Commie cretin into Gracie Mansion, the überliberal gobshites of NYC deserve whatever fiery Hell rains down upon their empty noggins afterward, and should NOT receive a jot or tittle of sympathy, alms, or taxpayer-funded assistance of any kind from any of the rest of us, forevermore. No bailouts. No charity. No FederalGovCo largesse whatever. Period fucking DOT.

SRSLY?!? Jeez O’ Pete, what the actual fucking FUCK, New York?

On the other hand, just got this excellent email:

Republicans have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here in New York. With Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo splitting liberal voters, Republicans are primed for victory.

New York has been on the backslide for years now with rising crime, failing schools, the highest cost of living in the country, and incompetent leadership in the Mayor’s office.

Maybe it’s time to give Republicans a chance to clean things up and HUMILIATE the Democrats by beating them in a race they took for granted. New York City has always been symbolic of our great nation and the American Dream.

But now she’s at a crossroads.

Zohran Mamdani wants to destroy our great city with his Socialist Agenda, increasing crime and taxing everyone into poverty.

Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa doesn’t just talk a big game – he walks it. New Yorkers know Sliwa, and he has their trust.

God, if only. I’m rooting for ya, Curtis, truly I am. I just wish I could see it happening. If NYC is to be saved from the folly of its own people, something I’m increasingly doubtful of, it will be up to you and others like you to accomplish it.

Alas, I fear that New York’s deeply-entrenched liberal ultramajority, both government and private sector, will have to experience a stem-to-stern Detroit-style meltdown before they’ll open their eyes, take a good look around, and finally decide to unass the creaky, cobbled-together merry-go-round of hard-Left doxology.

Perrhaps not, though; even with four out of the five Boroughs in flames (nobody includes Staten Island in these calculations, it remains a world unto itself), the Metrop collapsing into anarchy and brigandry, feral Nigras from the urban jungle on the rampage all over town, no more humanity in their dead, glassy eyes than a Great White Shark has in its—smashing, bashing, burning, looting, pillaging—electrical power intermittent at best, city services such as garbage pickup, the NYPD/FD, and mass transit completely kaput, and the great panoply of human misery that inevitably accompanies years of unchecked liberal/Leftist (mis)rule, they still might well choose to cling to the very thing that destroyed them.

Libs can be stubborn like that, you know. If they were intelligent, honest, and broad-minded enough to accept the evidence of their own lyin’ eyes and just face facts, they wouldn’t be shitlibs in the first place, now would they?

Sliwa’s donation website is here.

FINALLY redux

Posted on September 26, 2025September 26, 2025 by Mike

Apropos of tonight’s Eyrie thang, Steyn piles on by way of the recent Milan riots.

What were they rioting over? Well, I saw one report describing it as an ad hoc alliance of pro-Palestinians, leftist unions objecting to Meloni, and assorted neighbourhood “migrants”.

Whatever. It doesn’t really matter, does it? I mean, it’s not like twenty-five arrests at a Tommy Robinson rally, two-thirds of whom turn out to be anti-Tommy counter-protesters. All that can be said for certain is that, if you live almost anywhere in the western world, violence is in your future. For the moment, it comes overwhelmingly from the political left and their various shock-troops, whether Antifa or your local migrant sex-fiends. Because the left are the most turned on by it. Even the comparatively peaceful ones can’t stop salivating over the thought of killing you. Here, for example, a perfectly nice respectable American lady – probably listens to NPR – has a grand old time beheading an effigy of Trump:

Do stay tuned for the punchline. At the end she turns around and has what we used to call the golden rule emblazoned all over her T-shirt:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

So does that mean Trump supporters can decapitate, say, Kamala Harris?

Well, no, because, if you lopped off Kamala’s head, it wouldn’t make any difference. The most stupid and incompetent major-party candidate of the modern era has just “written” a book seeking to explain how everyone’s favourite glass-ceiling-shattering Montreal schoolgirl somehow failed to beat a “convicted felon” who spent most of campaign season in court. So, to pitch her book to fellow wine-moms like the decapitator above, Kamala has been out on the plug circuit. Shooting the breeze with leftie superstar Rachel Maddow, the former vice president calls the current president a “tyrant” and a “dictator”…

For any aspiring tyrants out there, if you’re wondering how to become one yourself, all you have to do is win Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in the Electoral College. That’s how all the tyrants and dictators do it.

Is Ms Harris not worried that, by de-legitimising her opponent’s lawful, peaceful and democratic victory over her good self, some excitable types might try to, say, shoot his head off?

Oh naw naw naw NAW, that would never, EVER happen! Right? RIGHT?

RIIIIGHT?!?

Of course not, you big silly. I simply have to include this next bit because of the gleeful way it rips renowned baglapper and/or Lefty rumpswab Keith “Upper-lip-sweat” Olbermann all to bloody gobbets and then scatters the pieces all over the lot.

I briefly caught Mr Olbermann’s attention a decade or three back, and, from what I can recall of it, he struck me as a big pansy fagulous trannifilarious nancy poufter mincing dweeb of a homicidal maniac but who likes sounding butch by saying “motherfucker” a lot. Yet, in a functioning society, it should not be incumbent upon Scott Jennings to judge whether the guy specifically menacing him actually means it or is just an insecure over-compensating loser. As noted here an hour or so after Charlie Kirk’s death, at least seven Internet posts appeared to have foreknowledge of what had yet to happen.

I have joked for years about jihadist nutters being fully paid-up members of Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves. But the leftie nutters are beginning to feel like that, too. One half of the political spectrum is so drunk on its bloodlust they don’t even notice it. “Denver’s oldest gay bar”, for example, took the trouble to create a new cocktail and make a sign for it…

The old definition of a gay bar was: one hundred bottoms looking for a top. It requires a perverse genius to re-imagine it as one hundred bottoms looking, in the Britannic sense, to top someone.

YEEOWTCH, that made my butt hurt! Now brace yourselves for the heady, thrilling denouement.

Over two decades, I have occasionally quoted the words of the French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut: “The lofty idea of ‘the war on racism’ is gradually turning into a hideously false ideology,” he said in 2005. “And this anti-racism will be for the twenty-first century what Communism was for the twentieth century: a source of violence.”

Bloodlust mixed with moral preening is a uniquely toxic cocktail and, unlike those available at the R&R bar in Denver, it will not be content with merely a single shot.

DAMNED good squishy there, Mark. Yet again, I must remind y’al of the one, the only rule that matters: THEY SHOOT. WE DIE. Unless and until that changes, we’re all just whistling Dixie here, I’m afraid.

Update! A timely and very much related reminder from the esteemed Eric Raymond.

In one of my previous analysis postings, I outlined three possible scenarios for the future after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

This corresponds to scenario 3, the one where insurrection edges into a simmering civil war a la Bosnia. I caught some flak in my replies at the time from people who thought an insurrection based in urban areas isn’t practical under modern conditions.

Antifa thinks it is. It’s what they’re planning for.

One of the things I have to remind myself of occasionally is that most people know essentially nothing about Communist theory and Communist revolutionary tactics.

Antifa is running the classic Communist playbook. Make the enemy fight you where you are strong and they are weak – where you have support among the people and (when possible) cover from sympathetic local officials.

Historically that has usually meant fighting from rural areas where the reach of the government is weak. But the Russian Revolution was an exception, and the revolution Antifa is trying to fight is another. Their natural home ground is large coastal cities run by left-wing Democrats.

ESR also provides ironclad evidence to support his contention in the above-quoted Tweet/X/Whatever.

Man, I really gotta come up with some kind of nomenclature to refer to those blasted things.

Sleeping through it update! Another ringing endorsement of refusing to go on playing the Left’s game by the One Rule mentioned above.

Somehow it is inconceivable to anyone on the political right that anyone might actually mean what they say about politics and actually be willing to fight for any of the things they claim to be willing to fight for.

Maybe Right Wingers could just look at the people saying “We hate you, we want you dead, and we are committing violence against you” and right wingers could think that they’re committing violence against you, and maybe they hate you, and they want you dead… and maybe you should hate them back?

What did you think “Civil War” meant? Vibes? Essays?

If the state’s monopoly on violence is corrupted to serve evil… would it not be time to break that monopoly? To enter that monopolized market with a new disruptive innovations, so to speak.

If the government is a usurper regime that doesn’t represent you, and is dressing up tyranny under cover of a barely feigned playact of legitimacy… Well you’re American, what did your founders do in such a situation?

Yet Even as millions of leftists openly celebrate this shooting and wish for more of them to happen, and openly state that they’ll see any who commit said shootings as heroes worth celebrating….

It is inconceivable to the Right Winger that immortal fame, their own sincerest convictions, true hatred, the judging eyes of their political forefathers, and the celebration of MILLIONS might actually be worth doing or risking something over.

Just sit back and pay taxes and keep his head down whilst serving the enemies who hate him and paying for their six figure salaries in government employment whilst waiting for more people to “wake up”… Even as they brainwash his kids to hate him, and “cut ties”, and cut their genitals off.

Just wait bro, more people need to wake up!

Kennedy was shot 60 year ago. The first people to “wake up” are in nursing homes.

You’ve waited so long for people to “wake up” that the majority have fallen back asleep and died of old age.

Yeppers, so it would seem.

Whataboutist update! Margolis handily dispenses with the noxious “Both sides” canard.

To maintain their crumbling narrative, the left weaponized a deeply flawed study from the CATO Institute’s Alex Nowrasteh, which purports to show that right-wing extremists commit the majority of politically motivated killings in America. This convenient talking point has been parroted everywhere to deflect from the fact that their side just murdered one of conservatism’s most prominent young voices.

But when you actually examine Nowrasteh’s methodology—which I have—the whole thing falls apart faster than a House Democrat’s promise to secure the border.

Take Timothy McVeigh, labeled “right-wing” despite his ideology having nothing to do with traditional conservatism. McVeigh was an anti-government extremist whose rage stemmed from Waco and Ruby Ridge, not conservative principles. The man rejected both political parties, described himself as agnostic, and supported abortion rights.

Then there’s Anderson Lee Aldrich, the Club Q shooter, branded “right-wing” despite identifying as non-binary and suffering from documented mental illness. Peyton Gendron, the Buffalo supermarket shooter, gets the same “right-wing” label even though his own manifesto explicitly identified him as an “eco-fascist national socialist”—hardly traditional conservative ideology. The study also classified a couple who killed a sex offender as perpetrators of “right-wing” violence despite the fact it was a personal vendetta with no apparent political motivation whatsoever.

Even more telling is what Nowrasteh’s study leaves out entirely. Notice how the data shows a convenient dip in 2020—the same year America witnessed the most destructive riots in its history. The George Floyd riots caused billions in property damage and at least nineteen deaths, yet somehow none of these deaths made it into his tally of political violence.

The Waukesha Christmas parade attacker, who drove his truck through a crowd in 2021 killing six people, also got left out. When you correct for these glaring omissions and misclassifications, the numbers between left-wing and right-wing violence become roughly equal—and that’s just examining the past decade.

But, the narrative that political violence is a right-wing problem took another hit this past week, when, Anibal Hernandez-Santana, a 64-year-old former legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, decided to turn his politics into bullets with a drive-by shooting at the local ABC station. This wasn’t some random act—it happened just one day after protesters gathered there with their usual signs calling Trump “Hitler” and his supporters “fascist enablers.” Hernandez-Santana absorbed that mood of righteous fury, posted calls for Trump’s demise on social media, and then carried his left-wing politics into the realm of violence.

And that wasn’t all. Saturday night in Nashua, New Hampshire, 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau opened fire at the Sky Meadow Country Club, killing one and injuring at least two others while shouting “Free Palestine!”

The truth is unavoidable: the left doesn’t just tolerate political violence, it cultivates it. They spent the summer of 2020 making excuses for rioters while their media allies described burning buildings as “mostly peaceful protests.” They’ve created an atmosphere where their followers believe they have a moral obligation to commit violence against their political opponents.

We keep hearing lectures about “rising extremism on the right,” but the evidence keeps piling up showing exactly where the real threat is coming from. A popular conservative leader gets assassinated. A leftist union operative shoots up a television station. An anti-Israel radical sprays gunfire into a country club. And somehow the left still thinks it can wag its finger at conservatives?

Well, naturally. When you’re not merely comfortable with spewing brazen lies in the face of obvious truth but have actually come to prefer it that way, wagging a finger self-righteously at your hated enemies begins to look like pretty small beer.

Trump threatens thugs in violence-ridden Chicago with ‘Chipocalypse Now’ post
WASHINGTON — President Trump put thugs in crime-ridden Chicago on notice Saturday, promising to send in the newly-renamed Department of War in a threatening Truth Social post.

“Chicago (is) about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” the president wrote, referencing his Friday executive order renaming the Department of Defense to its original name.

The post was accompanied by an AI picture of Trump seated with fire and helicopters with the Chicago skyline in the background, dressed as the character Robert Duvall played in the movie “Apocalypse Now.”

In the words of SCOTS frontman, lead guitarist, lead vocalist, and principal songwriter Rick Miller: it’s too much pork for just one fork.

Gentlemen, start your engines. Close and latch all exterior doors and hatches, secure any loose gear, and prepare to roll tanks; this squadron is gonna make a Thunder Run right through the middle of Chicago so wild, wooly, and straight-up ragin’ it’s gonna make the fabled one in Baghdad look like two toddlers playing Pit-A-Pat by comparison.
