In other (non) news, three out of four D卐M☭CRATs are Red-in-tooth-and-claw Commies.

A Washington Post-Ipsos poll shows 3 in 4 Democrats support a democratic socialist for president, but less than half of Americans agree. The Democratic Socialists of America has grown, yet Americans remain divided on its meaning. Age and education influence support, with younger, educated individuals more open to democratic socialist candidates.

Three in 4 Democrats say they would be open to supporting a democratic socialist for president, but less than half of all Americans say they would vote for such a candidate, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll.

Republicans and right-wing influencers are increasingly invoking “communism,” often to criticize democratic socialists and the Democratic Party broadly, according to a Washington Post analysis. Americans split on this comparison in the Post-Ipsos poll, with 30 percent saying democratic socialism is similar to communism while 32 percent say it is different and 36 percent saying they are not sure.

Democratic socialism has clearly caught on with many Democrats, fueling questions about how that energy will affect upcoming elections, including the 2028 presidential race. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), a DSA member, is viewed as a potential presidential candidate.

The Post-Ipsos poll indicates that 55 percent of Americans would not consider voting for a democratic socialist for president, while 39 percent would consider supporting one and 6 percent having no opinion. A majority of self-described independents, 54 percent, would also rule out a democratic socialist candidate.

“Other ways of being.” RIIIIIIGHHHHT.

According to Dr Donna Riley, academic rigour and the expectation of competence are “exclusionary” and tools of “privilege,” and are unfair to women and minorities, for whom rigour and competence are presumably impossible.

Dr Riley goes on to denounce engineering’s “cultures of whiteness and masculinity,” and informs us that, “scientific knowledge itself is gendered, raced, and colonising.”

Says she, “This is about doing away with the concept [of rigour] altogether so we can welcome other ways of knowing. Other ways of being. It is about criticality and reflexivity.”

Yes, the design and construction of fighter jets, oil rigs and 1000-tonne tunnelling machines will one day be informed not by careful calculation, a knowledge of materials and thoroughly tested principles, but by criticality, reflexivity and “other ways of being.”

Dr Riley is the author of the little-read tome Engineering and Social Justice, which she describes as “an attempt to explain the lack of emphasis on social justice in engineering.”

The term “social justice” is, we’re told, “difficult to define” and “resists a concise and permanent definition,” a problem illustrated by the author’s own struggle to arrive at a convincing definition, despite deploying the term on every other page.

But apparently, engineers need to spend less time doing load-bearing calculations and more time pondering “radical protest” and “Marxist traditions.”

Engineering and Social Justice, is it? At the risk of sounding didactic and overly brusque, I’d like to submit that one of these things is most definitely NOT like the other, in a great many meaningful, indeed quite critical, ways.

Alliance of convenience

Gotta be the most unlikely one of all time, methinks.

Socialism and Islamic Supremacism: Two Strange Bedfellows Aiming to Destroy Our Republic
Both want to change our system of law. Both hate the United States and Western civilization. And both detest Christianity. They also, by forming an alliance, become the strangest of bedfellows. They are socialism and Islamic supremacism in America — and both forces are growing.

Socialism, under the name “Democratic Socialists of America” (DSA), is quickly dropping its mask. Its new platform, released last week, calls for eliminating the Senate and having a wholly empowered Congress choose the president and Supreme Court. The DSA also wants to convene a second constitutional convention to make the preceding possible. The idea is to draft new founding documents guaranteeing a “socialist democracy.”

Political activist and Islamic supremacist Linda Sarsour is a bit less ambitious — at least in her overt pronouncements. She at this moment just wants to replace the Declaration of Independence with a document reflecting “our [read: their] values.” Whether this would be a Declaration of Dependence or a Declaration of Dependence on Allah, she didn’t say.

Then there’s a development Sarsour would surely endorse. Right from the Pressing 1 for English file, commentator J.B. Shurk reported Monday:

On social media platforms last week, videos spread of a Home Depot shopping experience in Dearborn, Michigan. Signs throughout the store were in Arabic.

Shurk further mentions that other Dearborn retailers — such as Walmart, Costco, Kroger, and Albertsons — also post Arabic signs.

As to the Islamic supremism-socialism nexus, the DSA has a “Muslim Caucus” (but no Christian Caucus, do note). Prominent Muslim members include Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D-N.Y.C.). Another Muslim representative, Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), is DSA-endorsed.

One may think there’d be friction between devout Muslims and devoted leftists. There has been, too. In 2023, Hamtramck, Michigan — the first American city with an all-Muslim government — banned the “Pride” flag from public property. The old-line Democrats that had been ousted by the Muslim Democrats weren’t happy about it, either. But Hamtramck’s new overlords didn’t care. Oddly, too, the legacy media didn’t feel compelled to combat this anti-“LGBTQ+” “bigotry.” They imitated crickets.

And this may be a portent of things to come.

Oh, I’d say that’s a safe enough bet, yeah.

Update! Kunstler posts a fresh, intriguing take on the latest flavor-of-the-day-of-the-week sub-branch of the D卐M☭CRAT Party.

In the meantime, there is plenty else to concern those of us who care about our country, and Western Civ more generally, on the home front. Here comes the Insane Clown Posse of the Democratic Socialists. Their platform: abolish the police; no more jail for criminals; open borders; amnesty for all border-jumpers; abolish the Senate; Abolish the electoral college (House of Representatives to elect the president); defund the War Department; voting rights for all non-citizens; “wealth” taxes; free housing, food, medical care for all; green new deal laws; free Palestine (which is more important than any place else on Earth)!

Oh, and they are quite out-front about merely using the Democratic Party as a means to acquire power. Yeah, you noticed that already? Nobody actually had to read the quiet part out-loud. (Well, it wasn’t all that quiet.) Question is: how is all this going to work in practice (or in the praxis, as the Gramscian Marxists like to say — because it sounds like some occult power), as they roll over every institution in the land.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are our own jihadistas. They aim to make their program work by jamming it down America’s throat, starting with the throats of the plain old Democratic Party, the party of FDR, JFK, and HRC, currently fronted by Hakeem Jeffries (the House) and Chuck Schumer (the soon-to-be-abolished Senate). These two appear to be totally buffaloed by the DSA’s Insane Clown Posse. It’s their own Frankenstein monster, stitched together in their laboratory from the tatters of the 20th century. And like in the original by Mary Shelley, this monster is fixing to abolish its maker. Hakeem and Chuck are just standing by like a couple of credulous clucks waiting to see how things develop as the calendar marches implacably toward the catastrophic midterm election.

And it carries on from there, in most awesomely brilliant fashion.

Some things are transitory

Posted on July 14, 2026July 15, 2026 by Mike

Other things, however, will never change. The brutality, cruelty, and inherent, witless violence of Pisslam would definitely be in that category.

A Kiss in Indonesia and Its Aftermath Reveal the Heart and Soul of Islam
A kiss is still a kiss, as the old song goes, but in Indonesia’s Aceh province, it’s going to cost you. Not in terms of money, but in terms of the skin off your back. A young couple in Aceh just found that out after they shared a kiss on a TikTok stream, and found themselves hauled before a Sharia court and charged with violating the rules of modesty and the proper decorum that is to be maintained between an unmarried man and woman.

For that, they were each sentenced to 21 lashes, and the sentence was recently carried out before a gaping crowd of righteously indignant Sharia-adherent Muslims who know now never, ever to livestream a kiss. And so once again we see the true heart and soul of Islam: terror. While Muslim and non-Muslim Islamic apologists in the West continue to insist that the true Islam is benign and cuddly, and that terrorism is only a tiny minority of extremists’ “hijacking” of the religion, in reality, terror is at the very center of Islam. This latest caning in Aceh shows that anew.

The South China Morning Post reported Friday that “as each blow landed on their backs, the unnamed man, 22, and woman, 25, visibly grimaced. The woman later burst into tears, wailing in pain as the public punishment continued.” The Post noted that video of the canings had kicked up the usual firestorm: “It was far from the first such case to gain international attention and the response has become familiar: footage spreads online, rights groups condemn the punishment as inhumane and Aceh’s status as the Muslim-majority country’s sole sharia-enforcing province is thrust back into the spotlight.”

Yes indeed: “In a statement issued the same day as the flogging, Amnesty International said all forms of corporal punishment constituted torture or other ‘cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment,’ while its co-regional director, Montse Ferrer, called the caning of the couple ‘a horrifying act of discrimination.’”

In Aceh, however, they simply don’t care: “Nurjani, a 62-year-old housewife in Banda Aceh, said she supported caning because it ‘was about religion’ and in line with sharia law.” She explained: “If you do not do anything wrong, then there is nothing to fear. I support caning and I believe that if you lead your life in the right way and walk the right path, no one will question you.” Another Aceh resident, Muhammad Nasir, agreed, saying: “If someone is caned, it will be a lesson for them so that they do not do the same thing again. It has a physical element to it, but it is mostly social and designed to make the person ashamed of their crimes.”

Yes, and more than just ashamed: terrified. The caning is designed to make people afraid to violate Allah’s law again. People who have been caned in Indonesia have ended up collapsing and being hospitalized. If you don’t want to end up permanently injured, or at very least to suffer agonizing pain in front of a crowd that has gathered to watch you suffer, then don’t kiss a girl on TikTok.

This has nothing to do with virtue, the idea of choosing to do what is good because it is good. This is all about fear from the beginning to the end. The Qur’an tells Muslims to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60), and lest any of Allah’s obedient slaves are tempted to violate his law and thus become his enemies as well, they get terrorized, too.

Every Westerner possessed of even a mere modicum of decency, compassion, and integrity is obligated to do everything he possibly can to aid in the destruction of Pisslam, one of the foulest, most fearful scourges ever to begrime our poor Earth.

The nightmarish blight that is Pisslam and all its evil works have been tolerated by the West for far, far too long now. We all know the score; without exception, every thinking person well knows deep in his heart what this vile pseudo-religion really is—what it intends, what it demands of its troglodytic followers, what wickedness and blood-drenched atrocities they gleefully commit, again and again, in its unholy name—yet in our disgraceful torpor, to our eternal shame we do nothing.

Pisslam must be obliterated, its loathsome adherents crushed until all that’s left is an unpleasant, rapidly-fading memory. Any lazy, gormless Westerner who keeps on puking forth one sad, sorry excuse after another for his political “leadership’s” flat refusal to take action to stanch the blood-dimmed tide of Mohammedanism—to foil the Musselman’s creeping, incremental conquest of all humanity—is guilty of de facto complicity in his own subjugation, and will reap the whirlwind he hath sown ere the end. I guar-on-gott-damn-TEE you he ain’t gonna enjoy it, either.

So there you have it, folks. We don’t have to like it, no…but we DO have to do it. There is no easy, fun, safe, pain-free option for us here. Success is by no means a sure thing, alas. Still; as the old saying goes: ROOT, HOG, OR DIE. Time’s nearly up; best get to it before what time we still do have expires completely.

Burning questions

Posted on July 10, 2026July 10, 2026 by Mike

Whatever pitiful handful of old-school Ainglishters may still be left ain’t gonna like the answer much, I bet.

What would Churchill think of the land of Lucy Connolly and Henry Nowak?
THE emergence of vigilante patrols on the streets of Rochdale following the release from prison of a convicted grooming gang ringleader is, at first glance, a local story. Such episodes are easily dismissed as spontaneous expressions of public anger, the predictable consequence of a controversial criminal case. Yet to do so would be to overlook the more interesting question. Why are citizens beginning to assume responsibilities that belong exclusively to the state?

The significance of vigilantism in Rochdale and elsewhere in Britain lies not in the number of people involved but in the assumption that underlies it: that the authorities either cannot or will not perform one of their most elementary duties. Political legitimacy depends as much on what citizens believe governments are capable of doing as on what governments actually do.

Taken in isolation, the events of recent years in Britain prove very little. Western democracies periodically experience shocking crimes, controversial court decisions and failures of public administration. No single episode tells us much about the condition of a nation. The picture changes when exceptional events begin to accumulate with unsettling regularity.

The Southport murders, where three young girls were killed and many others injured, sent shockwaves throughout the entire country. Beyond the horror of the crime itself came intense scrutiny of the state’s capacity to prevent such atrocities. The public debate that followed was as much about confidence in government as it was about one criminal.

None of this means that Britain stands on the brink of civil war as some commentators suggest. Such a conclusion is unsupported by the available evidence. Hyperbole makes for clickbait, after all. But what if vigilante patrols are not an isolated incident, but the first visible symptom of a broader crisis of confidence in the British state’s capacity to perform its essential functions?

One cannot help wondering how Winston Churchill, the historian rather than the statesman, would read Britain’s present predicament. In A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, he chronicled Britain as a nation shaped by successive waves of transformation. The native Britons gave way to the Romans. The Romans departed. Angles, Saxons, Danes, Vikings and Normans each left their mark upon the island. Civil wars, religious upheavals, industrialisation, imperial expansion followed in turn. Britain’s story did not end there. The post-war decades brought new waves of immigration from the Caribbean, the Indian subcontinent and Africa, adding yet another layer to a nation that had always been shaped by change. To Churchill, these were not interruptions in Britain’s story. They were Britain herself.

Would he regard today’s anxieties as merely another chapter in that long and often turbulent history? Or would he conclude that something more fundamental is taking place – not simply another transformation, but a gradual erosion of the confidence that has long enabled Britain’s institutions to absorb change without losing their authority?

Time alone will answer that question.

Yeppers; like it or not, it most certainly will. Actually, it’s my own belief that it already has, and that it is now much too late for No-Longer-Great Britainistan to have any real hope of reversing course and saving itself.

To date, no civilization, however mighty, wealthy, successful, and/or rigorously defended has endured forever—not the Greeks, not the Romans, not the Ottomans nor the Mongols nor the Picts nor the Saxons etc etc etc. Our English cousins had a darned good run for sure, several centuries at or near the top o’ the global heap. Alas, that run is now well and truly over, and the British future now looks for the most part swarthy, anarchic, Moslem, and frankly, bleak.

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.

Late show hosts, then and now

Posted on May 24, 2026 by Mike

Lakeside Joe runs down the differences.

If you watch re-runs of Johnny Carson, one thing will stand out the most, and it’s that Carson had the unique ability to deliver jokes in a casual, midwestern-everyman tone; like chatting with the audience over a drink. He made it feel effortless and inclusive, as if he was one of them poking fun at the day’s absurdities (kind of like we do with snark on social media – everyone’s fair game) He recovered from weak jokes by leaning into them self-deprecatingly, which often got bigger laughs.

When Carson did his final show, one in five Americans were watching. Colbert’s final audience was a minor fraction of that. The numbers tell the whole story of what late night became:

Then: When Johnny Carson signed off in 1992, it’s been estimated that 55 million Americans watched – out of about 250 million. More than one in five.

Now: Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show drew 6.7 million – out of roughly 342 million. Under 2%.

The shift: same chair, a far bigger country, a fraction of the audience.

The reason: Carson made the whole country laugh; Colbert made half the country the butt of his ‘jokes’. Late night didn’t die of natural causes. It chose a side, aimed nine of every ten jokes at that side’s enemies, and then acted shocked when half the country stopped watching. Carson understood he was a guest in everyone’s living room. His successors decided the living room needed a lecture. Carson hosted an entire country. Colbert played ‘host’ to a minority who’s clubhouse was closed to anyone with half a brain.

That’s about the size of it, yeah. If the smarmy gasbag Colbert was even half as smart as he seems to think he is, you’d think he woulda realized that alienating half your audience from your very first night might not be such a hot idea. Which, hate to have to hip all you shitlib Supergenii!™ and all, actually has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with whether or not Trump can “take a joke,” by the by.

The art of NO deal

Hate to have to say it, but Trump is an idiot, and he’s screwing the pooch by the numbers.

Trump: No Need to Rush Anything With Iran

Frankly, I would rather see action rather than talk

I would like to see oil prices and inflation back down

And I am sick and tired of Iran poking us in the eye on the world stage, and making it look like we’re desperate for some sort…

Here’s the ugly truth of the matter, via Lakeside Joe.

That penultimate line—“The regime can only be stopped by force” et al—assumes something not so far in evidence, namely that “At some point, Trump will be convinced of this reality.” It’s my considered opinion that Trump, being at heart a basically decent sort who derives no pleasure from killing people in job lots, would vastly prefer to make some kind of deal with the Mullah regime, even though any deal the howling Western infidel makes with the Mullahs won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.

Which in turn means that Trump, having an entirely unrealistic view of the opponents he is confronting—ie, a far too charitable one regarding their willingness to deal fairly and honestly with “the Great Satan,” among other things—should never have dragged us into the Iran quagmire in the first place. His Presidency will be regarded by future historians, if any, as a catastrophe, one this piss-poor excuse for a nation will be paying for for generations, possibly even centuries. Sorry, but IMO that’s the long and the short of it.

Update! Just got off the phone with my brother Jeff, who just minutes ago shelled out $1100.00 at a truck stop to fill up his Freightliner with diesel fuel, but won’t make anything close to that much this week. He says another month or so of losing money like this and he’ll be out of business, and the truck will be up for sale. No need to rush anything, eh, Donald? *spit*

It begins update! Jeff called back to tell me that a friend and co-worker of his just gave the company his notice and put his truck up for sale. He’s taken a job driving a dump truck, for just slightly more than minimum wage. For as long as THAT lasts, anyway. He says thanks a pantload, Donald!

A good bloodbath

Posted on April 28, 2026 by Mike

Every nation needs one now and then, just to clear the air. According to Jefferson, at any rate, we’re long overdue for another.

Party of Assassins
The latest Trump assassin wasn’t a radical. He was a Democrat.

There was nothing radical about Cole Tomas Allen: the attempted White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassin. Allen’s manifesto reads a lot like that of the previous three-named assassin Ryan Wesley Routh who was stalking President Trump at a golf game.

Apart from the explicit murder plots, there is nothing in Routh’s ‘Dear World’ letter and Allen’s manifesto that you wouldn’t find in the Washington Post, a Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert monologue or a rant by a Democrat member of Congress. Routh was obsessed with Iran and Ukraine, sounding like Thomas Friedman when he complained that Trump had “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.”

Allen offered even more generic foreign policy criticisms that seemed plucked from network newscasts and fake news coverage of Trump’s campaign against illegal alien criminals, drug cartels, Islamic terrorists in Iran and the cutoff of funds to USAID, ranting about being (“raped in a detention camp”, “fisherman executed without trial” “schoolkid blown up” or “a child starved”).

Did Allen really care about events in Iran or Latin America? Could he even tell them apart?

Rather than Marxism, Routh and Allen offered tepid shopworn liberalism as their justification for murder, “U.S presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity” and “the United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.”

This is the stuff of a Ken Burns op-ed and it shows that both men were more influenced by liberal Trump Derangement Syndrome media products than by Antifa or radical groups.

Allen slurs President Trump as a “pedophile, rapist and traitor”. This line is so commonplace in liberal circles that you can find it all across Bluesky, where the attempted assassin had an account, sold on t-shirts and popping up in op-eds. Social media personalities, talk show hosts and members of Congress have used similar rhetoric to refer to the 47th president.

There’s not much of a political critique. Just a grab bag of lines from MSNBC.

As I’ve said so many times I’m even beginning to bore myself: if Goosesteppin’ Leftists want another Civil War, then Real Americans ought to see to it that they get one…all they want of it, and then some. Because, as stipulated in Mike’s Iron Law #873: They will NOT stop. They will NEVER stop. They will have to BE stopped.

One of these next times, they’re going to get Trump at last. The morning after they do, NYC, Chitcago, SF, and LA ought all to be on fire. By sundown that same evening, battered and/or hacked Leftard corpses should be strewn about so thickly they clog the streets of every city, town, and hamlet across the FUSA.

A circus of error

Posted on April 10, 2026April 10, 2026 by Mike

Very much related to tonight’s Eyrie post, I fully share Spencer’s disgust with the sudden, serious wrong turn on Iran.

Well, it’s another glorious day, or something. President Donald Trump’s threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran have apparently worked, a “ceasefire” has been concluded, and as he did when he forced Israel to stop fighting Hamas when it had a chance to destroy the jihad terror group once and for all, Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East:

A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just “hangin’ around” in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Islamic Republic of Iran was likewise in a celebratory mood, and in its joyful exuberance, fired off a round or two of celebratory missiles and drones into Israel and the Sunni states that it has targeted since the beginning of this conflict. Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported that on “Ceasefire day 1,” Israel “took multiple waves of Iranian missile fire after the ceasefire was announced. Kuwait reports that more than two dozens drones were launched by Iran since 8am. UAE is currently under an Iranian missile attack. Iran, via state media, reports strikes against Lavan Island and the oil infrastructure there.”

At least eleven people were injured in Israel, and (Iran also) attacked Qatar and Bahrain as well as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The government of Israel says it supports the ceasefire but only if it is real, which it obviously isn’t.

Well, I mean, DUH; of course it isn’t. None but a wilfully blind fool could possibly imagine that it was, and/or would ever be. As the esteemed Mr Spencer closes out his brief, straight to the point essay:

Without military action, which Trump will become progressively less likely to resort to as the midterms approach, the U.S. has no leverage.

If the Islamic Republic of Iran remains in power, it will build up its strength again and then resume its jihad against Israel and the U.S. That’s one of the only two reasons truces are allowed in Islamic law: one is if the Infidel enemy converts to Islam, which is not in play here, and the other is if the enemy is winning, so as to give the warriors of jihad time to regroup and then fight again more effectively.

The Trump administration, like so many others before it, should have studied Islam and realized that the Islamic Republic is serious about Islam above all. Then it would have known that when the Islamic Republic’s leaders showed a willingness to conclude a ceasefire, they were tacitly admitting that they were losing. It was time to press forward to final victory, not to stop fighting. And so another opportunity to rid the world of a jihad threat is lost, another chimera of peace is announced, and the jihadis will rejoice that they have survived to fight another day, as yet another Western government has kicked the can down the road instead of defeating them.

I truly hate having to say it, but that’s precisely what has happened here, to my eternal mystification and deep, deep disappointment. Bitterly clinging to the forlorn belief that this is all part of some Grand Strategic Plan is about as helpful as trying to polish a turd. To quote my own Eyrie piece:

Bottom line: as long as an Ayatollah, any Ayatollah (even one Trump idiotically assures us is a “reasonable” “moderate”), remains in charge of the nation-state entity known as “the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the war ain’t done yet.

Ah, would that t’were not so. But alas, here we all are.

Islamophobia is real

Posted on March 15, 2026March 15, 2026 by Mike

And, at least according to the theory propounded by the always-insightful Robert Spencer, that’s a good thing (bold mine, needless to say).

After Four Jihad Attacks in Two Weeks, Guess What It’s the International Day to Combat
Sunday, March 15 is the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and the day couldn’t possibly have come at a better time. It looks as if it was planned this year specifically in order to demonstrate the fact that “Islamophobia” is a spurious propaganda concept designed to intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong to stand against jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.

It’s the best possible time because there have been four jihad attacks in the U.S. in the last two weeks, demonstrating in the most vivid and indelible way possible that criticism of Islam is not only not a manifestation of “hatred” or “bigotry,” much less “racism,” but a healthy manifestation of a society’s will to survive.

Ladies and chunnelmens, those bells, horns, and wildly flashing lights mean that we have ourselves a WINNAH! Onwards.

The latest lessons in the dangers of “Islamophobia” propaganda came on March 1, when a Muslim migrant opened fire in a bar in Austin, Texas, killing three people and injuring 13 others. Then on March 7, two pro-ISIS Muslims screaming “Allah akbar” threw a homemade shrapnel bomb at a crowd of pro-freedom protesters in New York City. Five days after that came two jihad attacks in one day, when a Muslim crashed his car into a Michigan synagogue and opened fire, while another Muslim started shooting at Old Dominion University, murdering one person and injuring two others.

After all this, UN Secretary-General António Guterres wrote late on Saturday evening, “Islamophobia” Day Eve: “Muslims worldwide often face institutional discrimination, socio-economic exclusion, biased immigration policies & unwarranted surveillance & profiling. This International Day to Combat Islamophobia, let’s re-commit to the equality, human rights & dignity of every person, no matter their faith.”

Guterres’ statement was more noteworthy for what it didn’t say than for what it did. He had nary a word to say about the four recent jihad attacks in the U.S., or about any jihad attacks anywhere. In fact, for Guterres and other “Islamophobia” propagandists, there are no jihad attacks. Those who commit jihad attacks are by the very act of doing so rendered non-Muslim.

And so New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote on Sunday, barely more than a week after a couple of Islamic State jihadis tried to commit mass murder for Allah in New York City: “On this International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and at a time when fear and division are rising in many places, New York stands firm: Hate has no home here. Muslim New Yorkers strengthen our communities every day, and we will always stand together against Islamophobia.

Oh, I’m sure. Too bad you don’t seem to give much of a shit about standing together against Pisslamic terrorism—not even in NYC, which says nothing whatsoever flattering about the mouthbreathing chowderheads who persist in residing in the crumbling hellhole.

Update! Absotively, posilutely related, from the incomparable Mark Steyn.

The Ground We Surrendered
Alas, very few people are really “conservative”, which is why so little has been conserved – up to and including, ultimately, the continuing existence of the nation-states of the west. The killer of Brandon Shah checks all Senator Simpleton’s boxes – as, indeed, the killer of those poor Southport schoolgirls checks all Nigel Farage’s. Mohamed Jalloh emigrated from Sierra Leone and became a naturalised US citizen. An alumnus of Old Dominion, he subsequently joined the Virginia National Guard, so he’s not only a brother-in-arms of Colonel Shah but also one of those “seventy-two Virginians” we used to hear so much about.

Unfortunately, Mr Jalloh was “compelled to leave the US military” after he was discovered to be a big fan of Anwar al-Awlaki, the late “spiritual advisor” to the Fort Hood killer, three of the 9/11 hijackers and many others – oh, and also the author of the popular book Forty-Four Ways to Support Jihad. Mr Jalloh expressed his desire to pull off his own Fort Hood-style mass murder, and shared his admiration for the 2015 Chattanooga attack, when a gunperson killed four Marines and a sailor.

So the US military gave him an “honorable” discharge, rather than – as healthier societies would – a blindfold and cigarette. Like Ted (Cruz, in a Xweet Steyn embedded, but I did not—M) says: “Legal? Good. Illegal? Bad.” The senator is, in my limited experience, a pleasant enough fellow, but an unserious man who will cost you your country.

Thus, the year after departing the National Guard – 2016 – the legal and good Honorable Mr Jalloh was arrested for attempting to provide material support to Isis. In 2017 the prosecution agreed a plea bargain and asked for twenty years – so that would be 2037, right? But the Bush-appointed judge sentenced him to eleven, plus five years “supervised release” – which would bring us to …2033, is it? Also he was ordered to participate in a “computer monitoring program”.

But Mr Jalloh was out in 2024 and fortunately the federal probation office that supervised his “supervised release” supervises with such a light touch that Mr Jalloh was free to stroll into Colonel Shah’s classroom and kill him. Even the “computer monitoring program” does not – surprise! – appear to have worked.

Lest we forget, it was Steyn who encapsulated the bottom-line issue with the Pussified West’s supine (non-)response to jihadi terrorism, saying in essence: Why must it always be US who is expected to adjust OUR behavior, OUR lifestyles, even our physical environment, to accommodate these bloodthirsty troglodytes? THEY are the ones stabbing, bombing, gang-raping, and mass-murdering their way through contemporary Western Civ; THEY are the ones who steadfastly refuse to depart from their 10th-century beliefs and embrace modernity; THEY are the ones who have successfully overrun most of what once was the UK and Western Europe, remaking entire nations and/or cultures to suit their own ideology of conquest, brutality, and what was referred to in A Clockwork Orange as a bit of the old ultra-violence. Doesn’t all this sorta suggest that THEY’RE the ones who ought to be adjusting themselves to accommodate the rest of US?!?

Updated update! Bless their hearts, the Maori ain’t having any, thanks.

Ace reports on the sudden spate of Moslem attacks, not just here but all over the world.

Another Muslim Terrorist Attack, This Time in Austin
—Disinformation Expert Ace

We may never know the motive, authorities vowed.

The man wearing a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt, with an Iranian flag shirt underneath, and a Koran in his car, Culturally Enriched two Americans to death and wounded 14 others with diversity.

He was, of course, an immigrant and a criminal, allowed into the country by Bill Clinton and then granted citizenship by Obama.

I find this next vile insaniac’s perverse, nonchalant insouciance particularly maddening. From his expression, it couldn’t be more clear that he is rightly confident that he has nothing whatsoever to fear from the authorities; he is altogether invulnerable, they won’t lay so much as a finger on him no matter what. In fact, they are far more likely to offer him assistance, the grubby sellouts.

How it is that no sturdy Scot has yet stepped up to wipe that smug, self-satisfied smirk off this quasi-human obscenity’s face once and for all is altogether beyond my ken. But of course, this heartless half-man is a Moslem, so his bland indifference to the brutal slaughter of innocent children shouldn’t come as any big surprise to anybody. Noam Blum points out the truly intriguing aspect to all this.

Weird how no one expected predictable blowback terrorism from Hispanic people over Maduro.

Weird indeed. Every bit as baffling as every other jihadist murderer’s incomprehensible (according to the FBI, at least) motive. Allahu akhbar, infidel dogs!!

Fact is, these 10th-century running sores bring nothing of value to the Western societies they invade, overwhelm, and wreak violent havoc upon. We do not need them, we do not want them. In a better world, they’d all receive an official communique, to wit:

The government hereby notifies you that you are being given, at maximum, three (3) weeks in which you will gather your belongings and/or families, after which you must peaceably and permanently depart this country. Any belongings left behind, of any kind, will be categorized as Abandoned, Refuse, and/or Wastage, then disposed of in a safe, efficient, and appropriate manner which will neither damage nor disturb Mother Gaia’s flawless environmental and ecological balance. When the three (3) week grace period has expired, all remaining immivaders will immediately be hunted down, rounded up, and exterminated. We appreciate your attention and full compliance. That is all.

And then we’d need to see that it gets done, without any shucking and jiving, ducking and diving, or fiddle-fucking around.
