Mike’s Iron Law #7846: When all the “errors” and “honest mistakes” seem to cut in only one direction, what you’re seeing isn’t actually an error at all, but an agenda.

Is Joe Huffman’s no-bull blast of plain common sense.
Your “horrifying if you believe in the First Amendment” drivel is the exact cognitive blind spot these cells exploit…weaponizing free speech as a get-out-of-consequences card for those who piss on it with bullets and bombs.
Brandenburg v. Ohio carved it out decades ago:
protected speech stops cold at incitement to imminent lawless action that actually happens. They didn’t just talk; they executed.
The Constitution doesn’t shield arsonists, shooters, or terror enablers any more than it shields Al-Qaeda sympathizers handing out bomb manuals.
This verdict isn’t chilling dissent; it’s lethal accountability, the kind that deters the next cell of ideologically poisoned fuckwits from turning public facilities into kill zones.
So spare me your performative horror, you fucking idiot.
The jury saw the pathology for what it was. The FBI built the case on it. And the law cut them down.
Cry harder, sweetheart.

With this Parthian shot tacked on for good measure.
It is interesting this person believes the First Amendment protects the destruction of government property and shooting a police officer with an AR-15. They must have crap for brains. With that broad of scope for the First Amendment, just imagine what the Second Amendment must protect. Why, it must protect the use of artillery dropping HE on the U.S. Capital or some such thing.
Hey, I’m okay with that interpretation, myself.

Jurassic Media propaganda and the rest of their Leftard partners in crime want you to think that Iran’s Mad Mullahs are kicking American ass and taking Israeli names—ie, that we’re exhausted, out of ammo, dispirited, mere minutes away from throwing in the towel and accepting another crushing defeat to the invincible Pisslamic horde.
As always, you can’t believe a word those serial liars say, nor shoud you.

In its entirety:
Since President Trump revealed contacts with the Islamic Republic, we’re seeing something very telling:
Regime officials are either turning on each other, pointing fingers, accusing one another of negotiating with the United States or in their own media and social platforms, they’re warning against character assassination of figures like Ghalibaf or Rouhani, because suspicion is spreading inside the regime itself.
Some are even calling for arrests or worse. Others are publicly shaming officials, accusing them of secret talks.
This is the atmosphere on the Islamic Republic’s side of social media. Total panic.
inside Iran: chaos at the top.
Is there more, you ask? Why yes, of course there’s more.
This is an Iranian insider, openly warning: “Do not collaborate with the enemy.
Do not assassinate Dr. Ghalibaf’s character.”

It Gets Much Worse: Code Pink’s Cuban Commie Vacation Hits a New Low
On Sunday, I wrote about how Code Pink and a bunch of other worthless commies went to Cuba after they put together the “Nuestra América Convoy,” which describes itself as a humanitarian group but is really just some sort of anti-Trump, pro-Cuban regime operation. Cuba’s “president,” Miguel Díaz-Canel, rolled out the red carpet at a convention center, and then the group stayed in a five-star well-lit hotel. I say “well-lit’ because no one else on the island has power, yet oddly this hotel and convention center do.The convoy also threw themselves a little concert — again, with plenty of electricity to go around — but this wasn’t some sort of opportunity for them to raise money for the Cuban people they claimed they were heading down to support or anything. It was an opportunity to shout things like “F*ck Trump” and “Free Palestine.” I have no data on this, but I’m guessing most Cubans don’t give two cents about Palestine at the moment. They just want electricity so they can eat, study, have water, and keep their sick relatives alive in hospitals.
Call it poverty porn. Call it a communist safari or theme park. Call it the poor people petting zoo. I’ve heard every name under the sun from the Cuban exile community here in the United States. The only thing I can think to call it is one of the most grotesque, exploitative spectacles I’ve ever witnessed.
First up is this guy Hasan Piker. I was not familiar with him until he decided to show up in Cuba and not only exploit the situation on the ground there, but broadcast his little podcast or livestream or whatever it is he does from the fancy hotel where he’s staying. I have since learned more about him and not just the fact that if you look up the term “punchable face,” you’ll probably find his picture somewhere.
The Marxist Piker was born in New Jersey to Turkish parents, but raised as a Muslim in Turkey. He’s 34 years old, he’s a far left influencer, and he has one of the most subscribed-to channels on Twitch. He’s a big Bernie Sanders fan, yet, like his idol, he’s worth millions and just wants socialism for everyone else. He was literally wearing a $700 shirt while he walked the streets. It would take the average working Cuban years to buy something like that.
He also apparently abuses his dog.
So, as I said, this dude decided to waste power by broadcasting from his Cuban hotel on Sunday and letting us all know that the Cuban people simply love having no food or power.
Allow me to share with you one of the most ignorant, privileged quotes I’ve ever heard come out of someone’s mouth:
And he does that thing, too. He’s spot-on as well when he says this Piker twatwaffle has the most eminently punchable face EVAR.

See? Pluperfect weedy, scraggly-ass cuntface, desperately in need of a solid right cross, woontchasay? The article carries on from there, and it’s as thorough a chronicle of douchebag “liberal” cluelessness, arrogance, and self-serving, entitled nastiness as you’ll ever see.
Update! Having approvingly mentioned Churchill earlier and all, I must note that Glenn has put the cherry on top:
“Socialism,” the great Winston Churchill said, “is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”
“Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
In that last part, the prime minster got it wrong.
There’s misery aplenty in any socialist system, but in no sense is that misery shared equally.
Quite the contrary: Members of the ruling class in places like Cuba, North Korea or the old Soviet Union live wildly privileged lives compared to the “workers and peasants” over whom they rule.
That was illustrated this weekend — partly as tragedy, partly as farce — when a delegation of leftists from the anti-American Code Pink and other groups visited Havana to support Cuba’s totalitarian regime.
Plenty more yet, every word of it barbed like a porcupine’s back, and rightly so. Sad thing is, these shitlib drooltards will remain utterly oblivious to their own despicable patronization of Their Inferiors till their dying day, never once imagining themselves as anything other than courageous, generous heroes giving freely of themselves so as to help out the Little Guy. If somebody DID give that Piker twerp a well-deserved poke in the snoot one fine day, he’d never stop being flummoxed at why anybody would want to do such a thing to a swell guy like himself.

Tucker Carlson calls pro-Hitler Oswald Mosley one of Britain’s ‘great war heroes’
Mosley’s only crime, Carlson claimed, was being the leader of the ‘opposition party’ to ChurchillControversial US podcaster Tucker Carlson has described Oswald Mosley, the pro-Hitler leader of Britain’s short-lived fascist party during the Second World War, as one of the country’s “great war heroes”.
Carlson further claimed this week that Mosley’s “only crime was being the opposition” to Winston Churchill, and that was why he was arrested.
Churchill, according to Carlson, was a person we are “required to deify”, but in fact was a figure who “presided over the imprisonment of his opposition party during the entire length of the war, and their families, and their wives.”
About Mosley and his party, he continued: “Their crime was being the opposition party and being disloyal and unpatriotic, they weren’t.”
Speaking in a video interspersed with images of Mosley doing fascist salutes, Carlson said: “The opposition party was led by a First World War war hero who fought not just as you know, a pilot in the sky but and in the trenches. [He was] one of the great war heroes, former member of parliament, the country ever produced. And he and his compatriots and their wives were interned without charges by Winston Churchill for the duration of the war.”
Mosley was not fact the then-leader of the opposition but founder of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), a minor party that never performed well in elections even at its height in the mid 1930s, and never won a seat in Parliament.
As per usual, T’uqr gets his timelines all jumbled up, commits several patent errors of fact without offering to correct himself, and just generally stomps around beclowning himself in most spectacular fashion.
Mosley was a hapless fascist boob; Churchill was a masterful orator, a bit too much the political animal for my tastes, but ultimately and incontrovertibly (however strenuously the Crackpot Right might wish it were otherwise) a great wartime Prime Minister who held Britain together and saw the England he so deeply loved through its darkest, most desperate hours.
As for T’uqr, he badly needs to do himself a YUUUUGE favor and just keep his mouth shut.
Did Trump just play that dumbass Tucker Carlson like a cheap violin? Hmmmm, could be, could be.
New Theory Emerges: Was the Supreme Leader Set up by a Leaker Named… Tucker Carlson?
Hmm. So Carlson admits he was “talking to people in Iran before the war.”To whom was he talking — and what was he talking about?
Because we know he spoke directly to the leadership of Iran. Less than a year ago, he bootlicked Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in an astonishingly powder-puff “interview.” And when a journalist (or whatever Carlson is) has relationships like that, he tends to use ‘em.
It gives you a competitive advantage: Access is power.
Furthermore, before the Iran War began, we know Tucker Carlson made numerous trips to the White House. Multiple outlets reported that Carlson was attempting to convince President Trump not to go to war against Iran.
Yet once war broke out, Carlson insisted Israel must’ve somehow talked Trump into it.
It’s all very intriguing, because one of the biggest mysteries of this war is, why the heck were the Iranian mullahs and their “supreme leader” so careless and stupid to meet all together in broad daylight? It decapitated Iran’s government.
Anyone with half a brain would’ve known how dangerous that was!
And now, finally, an explanation emerges.
Perhaps the reason why the mullahs and their “supreme leader” were lulled into a false sense of security was because Tucker Carlson told them that the president was bluffing: There were no strikes coming, so there’s nothing to fear.
Full disclosure: I don’t know for sure if this theory is true. Just like Tucker Carlson, I’m “just asking questions.”
But as far as conspiracy theories go, you’ve gotta admit, the pieces fit quite nicely.
Don’t they just. You can just about hear Trump laughing his ass off from all the way over here.
Glenn growls, “SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED HERE,” and he couldn’t possibly be righter abut that.
This is not the way I want to see a familiar face show up on my feed.

This Might Be the Clearest Sign Yet the Obamas’ Marriage Is a Total Lie
Jesse Jackson’s funeral was held Friday at the House of Hope on Chicago’s South Side. Every major Democrat who still matters showed up: Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom.That’s right: sitting with a bunch of other couples, Barack Obama once again went stag. The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson’s death that made Michelle’s absence on Friday all the more glaring. “Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons’ kitchen table when she was a teenager,” the statement read. “And in his two historic runs for president, he laid the foundation for my own campaign to the highest office of the land.” If there was ever a funeral Michelle had a personal, deeply rooted reason to attend, this was it.
So what’s the excuse this time?
The Obamas have been the subject of divorce rumors for a while now, and to say they’ve not handled them well is an understatement. They appeared on a podcast together, which looked painfully scripted, and of course, there’s the obligatory birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day, and Mother’s Day posts on social media. The choreographed podcast appearances and coordinated anniversary posts on social media prove nothing. Bill and Hillary Clinton have been photographed holding hands, too; no one believes they have a happy marriage.
Last June, Michelle said she was relieved she didn’t have a son, because he would have been “another Barack.” That’s not the kind of thing a happily married woman says in public.
The real tell is the explanation Michelle keeps offering. “One of the major decisions I made this year was to stay put and not attend funerals and inaugurations and all the things that I’m supposed to attend,” she told NPR last year. “That was a part of me using my ambition to say, ‘Let me define what I want to do, apart from what I’m supposed to do.'”
That would be a compelling argument if she were actually retreating from the public eye. She’s not. She’s recently “written” a book. She does podcast interviews regularly. She gives speeches. From where I sit, she seems to be declining the specific events where the public would see her standing next to her husband.
There’s a meaningful difference between stepping back from the spotlight and stepping away from your spouse.
There is at that. Bottom line: this “marriage” is a total sham, conceived and arranged from the start as a distraction from a politically-inconvenient truth; namely, that Big Mike’s “husband”—widely known for years in Chicago as “Bathhouse Barry” for very good reasons—is in fact a homosexual; and Big Mike “herself” is probably a man—more of one than her fake, ghey “husband” will ever be, at any rate.
Not “a foolish consistency,” as Emerson would have it, but good old-fashioned cognitive dissonance.
THE COMPLETE (AND GROWING) LIST OF THINGS THE LEFT SIMULTANEOUSLY BELIEVES
I am a science teacher. In science, I teach my students that a hypothesis that contradicts itself is invalid.So I made a list.
THE COMPLETE (AND GROWING) LIST OF THINGS THE LEFT SIMULTANEOUSLY BELIEVES
Buckle up. This one is going to take a minute.
- “My body, my choice”… but you MUST get a vaccine or lose your job, your ability to travel, and your right to eat inside a restaurant. Both things. At the same time.
- “Believe all women”… unless the woman is Tara Reade, Juanita Broaddrick, or Paula Jones. Those women apparently came with an asterisk nobody mentioned.
- “Tax the rich”… said by a woman worth $120 million (Pelosi), a man worth $9 million (Schumer), and a senator who owns three houses (Bernie) — all while their stock portfolios grow on insider access the rest of us will never have.
- They are outraged — OUTRAGED — about billionaires having too much power… and then accept $1.6 billion from George Soros without blinking. Quinn’s Law #7: it is different when you are a Democrat.
- “Defund the police”… and then hire private security for themselves. I am not making that up. Multiple city council members who voted to defund their police departments had private, taxpayer-funded security at the same time. You literally cannot invent this.
- “No one is above the law”… until a federal judge in Wisconsin helped a criminal evade ICE agents and half the party defended her. Judge Hannah Dugan. Look it up. Suddenly “no one is above the law” had an exemption for people who agree with them.
- “Science is real”… but a biological male who identifies as a woman is medically, biologically, and athletically identical to a biological female. Just go ahead and ignore the entire fields of endocrinology, genetics, and sports medicine while you are at it.
- “We support the working class”… and then they vote AGAINST no tax on tips. And no tax on overtime. Every. Single. Democrat. Voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill. The party of workers apparently does not want workers keeping their own money.
- “We need more gun control to stop violence”… but releasing violent criminals back onto the street with zero bail is compassion. The criminal is not the problem. The gun on the shelf of the law-abiding citizen is the problem. I need someone to explain that logic to me using small words.
- They want a $20 minimum wage to help the poor worker… and then they celebrate the illegal immigration system that lets employers pay $6 an hour in cash with zero benefits to people who cannot say anything without being deported. That is not progressive. That is the economic model of the antebellum South with extra steps.
Yep, “Extra steps” for sure…all of which of necessity will involve more government, less freedom, and higher taxes.
Lots, lots, LOTS more to this one yet. Go ye and read of it, for IT. IS. GOOD.

Punk Fail? Rockers Cancel Festival Over Trump
Jello Biafra leads wave of rockers pulling out of tour over tepid Trump tiesTolerance is the new counter-culture. And it’s in short supply in the current punk scene.
Now, a gaggle of punk bands planning to tour the country is calling it quits. The reason why is so very, very 2026.
It’s all about Trump Derangement Syndrome.
No, we can’t all get along, apparently, and the Punk in the Park tour’s demise has little to do with the bands in question.
Denver’s far-Left Westword shared the ugly reason for the cancellation – “continued fallout over the organizer’s recently exposed political leanings, particularly financially supporting Trump’s second presidential campaign…”
Cameron Collins is the owner of the tour’s parent company, the Dallas-based Brew Ha Ha Productions. Collins contributed to President Trump’s most recent presidential campaign.
That was enough to stop the tour cold.
Dropkick Murphys was among the acts to bail on the tour. The group’s anti-Trump bona fides are clear, and the members are planning to play an anti-ICE concert in Minneapolis on March 6.
The Dead Kennedys planned to keep some of its earlier tour commitments for fans who already bought tickets. They still vowed not to perform at future shows due to Collins’ contributions.
That wasn’t enough for its former lead signer, Jello Biafra. The punk rocker slammed his former bandmates for not dropping out of every tour event.
Period.
Gee, how very moral of these über-sanctimonious twerps. I’m quite impressed with their courageous, selfless stand against blackest E-ville™.

Cutting Off the Head of the Snake
Or maybe the Gordian KnotNovember 4, 1979 — almost 47 years ago — Iran seized the American embassy in Tehran and held its staff hostage. Ever since then, American presidents have struggled with what to do.
Jimmy Carter temporized for many months, even as ABC’s newly created Nightline — a nighttime news show created specially to cover the hostage crisis — opened every night with “America held hostage, day XXX.” His wife, First Lady Rosalynn Carter, finally prodded him to do something. The “something” turned out to be a shambolic rescue mission that ended in disaster.
President Reagan intimidated the mullahs a bit, but never seriously retaliated for the Beirut barracks bombing that killed over 200 Marines along with over a score of other service personnel. George H.W. Bush invaded Iraq but left the mullahs largely alone. Bill Clinton did nothing of substance. George W. Bush had a chance to bring the Iranians to heel after the conquest of Iraq, but inexplicably failed to press his advantage. Barack Obama was, basically, complicit in their nuclear program, to the point of famously sending them pallets of cash totaling over a billion dollars.
President Trump, on the other hand, killed General Soleimani and told other Iranian leaders that they could be next. And now they are next.
So what have we learned, and what’s likely to happen in the future?
Well, for one thing, we’ve learned that there is no atrocity so abominable, no adversary so bloodyminded and vicious, no act of war so blatant and brazen that the shitlib Left won’t leap in all a-frothing to scold the US about daring to react in any fashion more bellicose than rolling over, showing our (yellow) bellies, and pissing all over ourselves as we whimper piteously for mercy.
Additionally, we’ve learned that every attack launched by us Ugly Amerikkkan H8888rrzzs© in response to provocation, however dire, shall be decried as “unprovoked,” “disproportionate,” “dangerous,” and/or “destabilizing.”
In sum, then, we’ve learned that:
There. Not by any means comprehensive, mind, but enough to be going on with just the same. Taken for all in all, an addendum to Mike’s Iron Law #1,246 has been deemed necessary. “What’s likely to happen in the future?” More of the same, alas, for just as long as Real American Normals remain content to put up with this tired shit, and not a moment longer.
As time marches ever on, it begins to look as if it will take exterminating no fewer than half to two-thirds of them before the rest of the sewer rats get the message and back the fuck off, so emboldened have we allowed them to become.

Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys Come Out for the Islamic Republic of Iran
After the U.S./Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic of Iran began early Saturday morning, the far-left government of Canada offered tepid support for the strikes, while the government of Saudi Arabia, indignant after an Iranian strike against a U.S. base inside the kingdom, said that it would join in on striking Iran. So far, so good.Emmanuel Macron’s France, however, had a markedly different reaction. Several hours after the strikes began, Macron wrote:
The outbreak of war between the United States, Israel, and Iran carries grave consequences for international peace and security.
Notice that he says nothing whatsoever about the yearning of the Iranian people for freedom after suffering 47 years of the Islamic regime’s bloodthirsty repression.
In this decisive moment, all measures are being taken to ensure the security of the national territory and that of our compatriots, as well as our interests in the Middle East.
France also stands ready to deploy the necessary resources to protect its closest partners at their request.
The ongoing escalation is dangerous for all. It must stop. The Iranian regime must understand that it no longer has any option but to engage in good-faith negotiations to end its nuclear and ballistic programs, as well as its actions of regional destabilization. This is absolutely essential to the security of all in the Middle East.
Macron here assumes that the Iranian Islamic regime will remain in power.
That’s because if it were up to his weak ass, it would—forever and ever, amen.
Nevertheless, he plows on:
The Iranian people must also be able to build their future freely. The massacres perpetrated by the Islamic regime disqualify it and require that the voice be given back to the people. The sooner, the better.
This is inconsistent, as he just called upon the Iranian regime to “engage in good-faith negotiations.” Now he says that it has been disqualified, and that he wants the Iranian people to have a voice. Great, but how does he envision their getting that voice, if he thinks that “the ongoing escalation is dangerous for all” and “must stop”? Macron offers no way forward. He is clearly just hoping that whichever side wins will think he was supporting it all along.
Well, of course he is. He’s the pluperfect ProPol: all things to all people at all times, no matter what. He talks a lot, but says nothing of any real import. When the final bell sounds, he’ll step up to the podium, beam a gleaming, toothy smile into the camera lenses, make a rousing little speech extolling his myriad virtues—foresightedness, courage, unswerving dedication to principle, plainspoken integrity, and so forth, none of which he possesses to any noticeable degree—shake the important hands, and then move on to the next Media Availability.
Overcome with disgust, Spencer spits:
None of this can be made to make sense. It is just the dissembling of a politician who wants to appear strong when he is weak, decisive when he cannot make up his mind, and on the side of his Western allies while not alienating his friends and business partners in Tehran.
Oh, it makes sense all right. It stinks to high Heaven; it’s self-serving as all Hell, sure. It’s despicable, certainly, and says nothing whatever complimentary about the people of France, that they would countenance such an obvious bargain-basement s’faccim as the “leader” of their once-proud Republic. But what it also happens to be is perfectly typical of his foul ilk.
As my biker friends used to say, Macron is so low he’d crawl over his dead sister to fuck his own mother. Which, y’know, is pretty dadgum low if you ask me.
The definitive, real-world example of “much ado about nothing.”
Pete Hegseth Comes Under Fire for Meeting the Standards He Demands of Others. Yes, You Read That Right
The left is engaged in an all-out attack on the policies of the Trump presidency. However, most of those attacks are not aimed at policies, per se; they are aimed at specific people and agencies. For instance, the nation remains in favor of getting rid of illegals, but, thanks to lies perpetrated by the left and their stenographers in the media, they are becoming dissatisfied with how Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are operating. Krisit Noem and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., are the targets of personal attacks. JD Vance has had his faith, his wife, and his marriage attacked. In fact, it seems that the more successful an administration official is, the more unhinged and deranged the attacks. Few members of President Trump’s cabinet have had a greater impact, and undergone more scurrilous attacks, than Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.Hegseth’s changes began early with his famous “all hands” meeting that required attendance by all serving Flag or General Officers. Part of that speech was a call to physical fitness. Under the previous administration, the standards were corrupted to ensure that every variant of sexual perversion would be able to pass even the most demanding schools in the military.
One of Hegseth’s trademarks is physical fitness. Not only is he in great shape himself, but when he visits units, he makes a point of participating in physical fitness training sessions with the troops.
Friday, Hegseth was at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. While there, he reconnected with the unit he served with in Afghanistan. While an officer in the Minnesota Army National Guard, he served as an infantry platoon leader in 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, aka The Rakkasans, the Japanese words for “falling umbrellas” or parachutes. There, he earned a reputation as a tough, capable, and canny combat leader.
Predictably, Hegseth did PT with the Rakkasans and, just as predictably, he was excoriated for it. Most of the abuse was on social media by people who’d never done anything more strenuous than getting off the sofa; for instance, Pentagon Pete Hegseth Hits Up Old Platoon With U.S. on Brink of War With Iran. The insinuation that the Secretary of War should be bunkered down is ludicrous. Any operation planned in Iran is under the purview of U.S. Central Command. If the Secretary of War is tied up in operational planning, he needs to fire some people. Moreover, you can’t allow the movements of a single individual to serve as a warning to our enemies when operations are imminent.
What particularly got their goat was Hegseth bench-pressing. What really got them was his pressing 315 pounds.
And that’s when the hysterical shrieking began. Many libtards contended, contra the evidence of their own lying eyes, that Hegseth had faked the whole thing. One went so far as to count the weights on each side of the bar, the sum total of which added up to a paltry (!) 270 pounds, not the claimed 315. Left out of this supergenius’s calculations was the inconvenient fact that the bar itself weighed in at 45 pounds, and that weight must be added in also—it “raises the bar,” so to speak. The execrable Daily Beast haughtily pooh-poohed the SecWars’s bench press as just another “publicity stunt.” And on and on it went.
Bottom line takeaway? Whenever shitlibs are unhappy, America is winning.
All you’ll ever need to know about them, in their own vile, hateful words.
In the liver, with a rusty railroad spike. Them, everybody who thinks like them, and the horses they all rode in on as well. God bless the fine folks at Jimmy’s Seafood for the note-perfect comeback.

Democrats Face a Demographic Doom Spiral
Trump isn’t just deporting illegals. He’s deporting the voters Dems need.
Well, I mean, y’know, DUH. Why do ya think they’re so damned upset about deportations, voter ID, updating/purging voter registration rolls, restoring election integrity, all that?
The Census Bureau recently released updated population figures through June 2025. The country grew slightly but that growth wasn’t equally distributed. Many red states, like South Carolina, Idaho and Texas, grew significantly. In just one year, each of those states saw their population increase by more than 1%.
Blue states aren’t keeping up. California, Illinois and New York now have fewer people than in 2020. In contrast, Florida’s population is up around 9%.
There’s an obvious and important takeaway here. Blue states implemented leftist ideas. They have high taxes and regulations that strangle construction. They have failing schools that teach students to hate America. They force female athletes to compete against boys.
The results have been so intolerable that millions of people have moved out. It’s yet another example of people fleeing socialism.
There’s a less obvious but just as important takeaway. After the decennial census, states gain or lose congressional seats based on population. Those adjustments change the Electoral College. States receive electoral votes based on how many House and Senate members they have.
The forecast from the American Redistricting Project shows Democrats losing nine seats in reliable blue states. Two swing states, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, would each lose a seat. Those 11 seats would go to states that Trump won in 2024. A different projection from Jonathan Cervas at Carnegie Mellon University has solid red and lean red states gaining 13 seats.
Like I said: devoutly to be wished.
The last several years have made it abundantly clear that NO polity even halfway determined to preserve personal liberty, Constitutional governance, and individual self-determination can afford to allow themselves to be governed ruled misruled by D卐M☭CRATs. To permit them anywhere near the proverbial levers of power is to seal one’s doom.
Hands down, no contest IMO. Pathetic George W Bush
Really, no elaboration needed. From the failed Iraq and Afghanistan occupations with no end and no plan, to the continued losses to marxist democrats domestically, few presidents in history have approached the failures of Bush. The 9/11 response was all Bush, and it was a failure.
2nd worse? Probably the other damn Bush…
I’m aware there is substantial competition.

If you are in fact a legit hooman bean desirous of registering yourself a CF user name so as to be able to comment only to find yourself caught up as collateral damage in one of my irregularly (un)scheduled sweeps for hinky registration attempts, please shoot me a kite at the email addy over in the right sidebar and let me know so’s I can get ya fixed up manually.
ALSO NOTE: You MUST use a valid, legit email address in order to successfully register, the new anti-spam software I installed last night requires it. My thanks to Barry for all his help sorting this mess out last night.
Comments appear entirely at the whim of the guy who pays the bills for this site and may be deleted, ridiculed, maliciously edited for purposes of mockery, or otherwise pissed over as he in his capricious fancy sees fit. The CF comments section is pretty free-form and rough and tumble; tolerance level for rowdiness and misbehavior is fairly high here, but is NOT without limit.
Management is under no obligation whatever to allow the comments section to be taken over and ruined by trolls, Leftists, and/or other oxygen thieves, and will take any measures deemed necessary to prevent such. Conduct yourself with the merest modicum of decorum, courtesy, and respect and you'll be fine. Pick pointless squabbles with other commenters, fling provocative personal insults, issue threats, or annoy the host (me) and...you won't.
Should you find yourself sanctioned after running afoul of the CF comments policy as stated and feel you have been wronged, please download and complete the Butthurt Report form below in quadruplicate; retain one copy for your personal records and send the others to the email address posted in the right sidebar.
Please refrain from whining, sniveling, and/or bursting into tears and waving your chubby fists around in frustrated rage, lest you suffer an aneurysm or stroke unnecessarily. Your completed form will be reviewed and your complaint addressed whenever management feels like getting around to it. Thank you.

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
—Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution
Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
—Daniel Webster
“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
—Charles Bukowski
“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
—Ezra Pound
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
—Frank Zappa
“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
—John Adams
"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
—Bertrand de Jouvenel
"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
—GK Chesterton
"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
—Donald Sensing
"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete
"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower
"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
—Skeptic
"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar
"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams
"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass
"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels
“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
—Ronald Reagan
"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
—NC Reed, from Parno's Peril
"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
—Bill Whittle
