The most dangerous job

If ever I’ve seen the ultimate justification for a lightning-fast mag dump, this lumbering Cape Buffalo provides it in spades here.


*shudder* I’d certainly want to be packing something a lot more hefty, a damned sight more brawny, than that itty-bitty little ole Glock to drop that stampeding wildebeest.

Butt-ugly Leftybitch can’t stand the heat, needs to get the hell out of the kitchen

Welcome to the jungle, twatwaffle.

Zohran Mamdani’s woke, privileged tenant advocate Cea Weaver breaks down crying when asked about hypocritical gentrification comments
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly instated radical-left tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, broke down Wednesday as she dodged questions from reporters about her gentrification hypocrisy.

The 37-year-old, who has faced backlash for blasting homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in the past, teared up when she emerged briefly from her apartment building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, at about 9 a.m.

Weaver, who was tapped by Mamdani to be his new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, quickly ran back inside after she was asked about the $1.6 million home her mother owns in Nashville, Tennessee.

I read someplace that not only did this big-talking gutless wonder break down crying upon being asked the first pointed question she’d ever faced in her entire life, she also ran screaming down the street before regaining control of herself and sneaking back into her own crib.

Tale of the tape

Why yes, the hard-Left flat-rocker bint WAS doing her level best to commit vehicular homicide and instead got herself shot all to Hell and gone for her trouble, why do you ask?

Social media is crawling with self-proclaimed forensic analysts poring over footage of Wednesday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis and insisting it shows the agent who shot Renee Nicole Good lacked justification. Some of the takes are downright embarrassing, with left-wing influencers confidently analyzing the wrong ICE agent altogether, pointing to the one at the side of the vehicle instead of the agent positioned in front of it. Some simply post the same footage we’ve all seen and merely declare the video proves the agent is a murderer.

I’ve seen it all, and let me tell you, of all the analyses out there, podcaster Tim Pool has delivered the clearest and most persuasive breakdown of the video evidence from the shooting I’ve seen yet.

After initially giving Good the benefit of the doubt, Pool says slowed-down footage forced him to reverse his position completely, and his frame-by-frame analysis is fantastic.

Pool began by acknowledging his earlier assessment and then explained why it no longer holds up. “While I initially said that I believed she wasn’t intending to hit the officer and was trying to flee, but still put the officer in fear of harm — uh, no, I’ve changed my mind,” Pool said.

What changed his view was a close examination of the video at reduced speed. And trust me, lots of people have slowed down and/or enhanced the video, but most have simply done so and claimed it only proved their original conclusion.
Pool, however, walked viewers through the footage and pointed out details that are easy to miss at full speed, details others either missed or ignored, starting with the officer’s feet.

“I’m gonna show you the slowed-down footage that I believe proves this woman was intending to kill that ICE agent. Watch the officer, who has his gun drawn,” he said.

Pool highlights the moment the vehicle makes contact. “Look at his feet right here in the back left. … Notice his feet both slide backwards,” Pool explained. “You see his foot sliding? Yeah, he’s not taking a step. He’s being hit by the vehicle.”

Anticipating the usual defenses, Pool concedes a narrow point before dismantling the broader claim. “Now, I can already hear you saying, ‘Hold on, Tim, if you’re up against a vehicle and it accelerates and it pushes you out of the way, that doesn’t warrant shooting somebody.’ Agreed,” he said.

From there, Pool reversed the sequence to show how the officer ended up directly in harm’s way, and it’s a critical detail.

“Here’s the vehicle reversing. The officer is not in front of the vehicle,” Pool said. “She reverses and now he is in front of the vehicle.” He adds critical context about timing and positioning: “He initially is to the right of the vehicle. By all means argue he should not have placed … himself in this position. We’re talking about seconds.”

The most damning detail comes next.

Eh, if you say so, Matt. Myself, I never from the git-go had the slightest problem believing that—after ceaseless exhortations to interfere, impede, injure, and/or kill ICE officers in the course of doing their jobs emanating from vicious, violent Leftards—one of those mouthbreathers would actually go and do something like this. All things considered, why wouldn’t they? The wonder is that it doesn’t happen four-five times a week, every week.

Mobocracy

Don’t look now, but we’re living in one.

The Moral Blackmailing of the American People
In Springfield, Illinois, in 1838, a young Abraham Lincoln delivered a powerful speech decrying the “ravages of mob law” throughout the land. Lincoln warned, in eerily prescient fashion, that the spread of a then-ascendant “mobocratic spirit” threatened to sever the “attachment of the People” to their fellow countrymen and their nation. Lincoln’s opposition to anarchy of any kind was absolute and clarion: “There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”

Unfortunately, it seems that every few years, Americans must be reminded anew of Lincoln’s wisdom. This week’s lethal Immigration and Customs Enforcement standoff in the Twin Cities is but the latest instance of a yearslong baleful trend.

On Wednesday, 37-year-old “queer activist” Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Good, who had barricaded her vehicle in an attempt to obstruct an active law enforcement operation, ignored agents’ requests to exit the vehicle and instead directed her car at one of the agents. Good actually then hit the agent, who was briefly hospitalized for his injuries. But before she could do even more damage, the agent shot and killed Good. The federal government has called Good’s encounter “an act of domestic terrorism” and said the agent shot in self-defense.

Suffice it to say Minnesota’s Democratic establishment does not see it this way.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey responded to the deployment of 2,000 immigration agents in the area and the deadly encounter by telling ICE to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” while Gov. Tim Walz called the shooting “totally predictable” and “totally avoidable.” Frey, who was also mayor during the George Floyd-inspired mayhem of 2020, has lent succor to the anti-ICE provocateurs, seemingly encouraging them to make Good a Floyd-like martyr and riot accordingly. As for Walz, he’s right that this tragedy was eminently “avoidable” — but not for the reasons he thinks. If the Biden-Harris administration hadn’t let in untold millions of unvetted illegal aliens, and if Walz’s administration hadn’t conveniently overlooked hundreds of Minnesotans — of mixed immigration status — defrauding taxpayers to the tune of billions of dollars, ICE never would have embarked on this particular operation.

Liberals and open-border activists play with fire when they so casually compare ICE, as Walz previously has, to a “modern-day Gestapo.” The fact is, ICE is not the Gestapo, President Donald Trump is not Hitler, and Charlie Kirk was not a goose-stepping brownshirt. To pretend otherwise is to deprive words of meaning and to live in the theater of the absurd.

But as dangerous as this rhetoric is for officers and agents, it is the moral blackmail and “mobocratic spirit” of it all that is even more harmful to the rule of law.

Most of us assumed this dispute had been settled once and for all by the early spring of 1865, but apparently we were mistaken.

What I most want to know at this juncture is why in the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed world is Tampon “Timmeh” Waltz, after doing everything his little pea-brain can come up with in the way of fomenting insurrection against the US federal G in his sorry-ass State, has not been locked up under multiple charges of treason already.

The underlying problem  all along has been that self-dramatizing Leftist morons have been getting away with personal threats, acts of violence against individuals, arson, looting, and wanton vandalism without ever facing Consequence One for any of it. They snarl ferociously about the supposed “evils” of private property, capitalism, and White People generally but have never been called out for any of their patent hatemongering. They must be forcibly made to understand that the Left’s permanent Get Away With It© card has been revoked, so their usual schtick is just liable to get them ventilated from here on out, as should have been the case all along.

Sorry, shitlibs, no more blanket Leftard Exemption for you. The days of having everything your own way are done. Things are different now, and I promise you ain’t gonna like it. In the immortal words of the great Curtis LeMay:

It’s a damnable shame that it’s come to this, but as I’ve told y’all about a blue million times: WE didn’t ask for it, WE didn’t want it, WE didn’t start it. THEY did.

Update! Number One with a bullet on the (S)Hit List.

Smarmy, smug, obnoxious, unlikable, as always. Also just dumb as a box of hair, too.

Updated update! Brother Billy has hisself an idear, and I gotta say I really, REALLY like it.

So I was thinking
A lot of mentions and RUMINT is that there are NOT enough cops out there to do what needs to be done, and that the White House is, per the usual, dithering on #TIA1807 (ie, the Insurrection Act of 1807—M) because smol-hats and ‘reasons’. OrangeManBad doesn’t WANT to be remembered for invoking the act (even tho right now, he really needs to, if only in Minnesota) and deploying Active Duty Troops.

Cowardly as all get out IMO
HOWEVER -I- thought of something. Remember the talk about granting Letters of Marque a few back BEFORE we snatched Maduro? I got idea… an utterly brutal and completely ruthless idea.

Why not just deputize ANY and ALL Veterans who want to volunteer, under a limited Contract, similar to what was done in Iraq. The DotMil didn’t have enough troops to run convoy escorts for quite a spell, so Blackwater stepped in, and did it quite well. Make it that Prior Contracting experience is a plus, and give us very liberal and open-ended Rules of Engagement.

Shoot First, For God Will Know His Own.

As well as enough Federal Legal Coverage that every. single. shoot. will be considered a “good shoot” and the trigger puller in question doesn’t get prosecuted after the fact at the State Level, due to the Federal Primacy Clause.

Also keep a metric shit-ton of irrevocable blank Presidential Pardons on hand…

Just in Case of later DemoncRat Fuckery years later.

I almost guarantee after the first 200-300 stupid fuckers get shot in the head that this shit’ll end so quick it make Soro’s head spin. And oh yes… Give a list of PRIMARY TARGETS that NEED to be “harvested” for the greater good. I’m pretty sure putting a bounty of $1 Million USD on Alex Soro’s head would attract enough attention to remove him and his Dad from the board. Even if he flees to the EU… lots of people there getting mighty poor and hungry these days from what I heard… for the E.U., make it $100 million, so they have enough to possibly even tempt the Soros Bodyguards on turning on him…

Now wouldn’t THAT be a kick in the head.

Pure opposition

For its own sake, and nothing whatsoever else.

vittorio
@IterIntellectus

most political issues nowadays can be explained by understanding that american leftists dont have positions, they have oppositions.

their entire belief system is defined by negation of whatever the right supports.
this is why portland chants “free maduro” while actual venezuelans celebrate in the streets.
they’re not pro-venezuelan or pro democracies, or pro tyrant, or pro maduro, they’re simply anti-american-right.

they’ve outsourced their worldview to institutional narratives for so long that genuine self-reflection would require questioning everything.
for them it’s much easier to just oppose. the beliefs arent coherent because they were never meant to be coherent. they only need to signal tribal membership, and leftist membership is gained by opposing the right.

trump does X?
the left screams and cries because they wanted Y

trump does Y?
the left screams and cries and riots because even if they said they wanted Y, what they meant is that X was the way to go

trump cures cancer?
they’ll argue that the cancer cells are alive have a right of free determination

trump saves lives?
they’ll protest because somehow those lives didn’t matter and should have been ended

no coherent word model. no logic. pure opposition

at some point you just have to stop engaging with it as if it’s a real political position. it’s not. it’s aesthetic opposition wearing the costume of ideology

And the followup:

the tell is they always speak FOR populations who overwhelmingly disagree with them.
“free palestine” from people palestinians would hate.
“free maduro” while venezuelans celebrate.
the pattern reveals the game
it was never about the people, it was about the posture

Yet another reason, as if any more were needed, why the D卐M☭CRAT criminal organization masquerading as a political party needs to be forcibly disbanded, legally proscribed, and destroyed utterly. At the very least, they should be ignored completely, treated as if they are invisible, and if/when they take their “protest”-theater productions out into rush-hour traffic, they should be run over and left bleeding in the street until the garbage truck arrives to shovel up the remains and haul them off to the landfill.

As has been demonstrated again and again and again, Leftists have nothing constructive to say, nothing useful to offer, and nothing needful to contribute. They are parasites; as such, our society has no obligation to tolerate them any longer.

Further thoughts update! These worthless skinbags firmly believe several things which are NOT in evidence:

  1. That they are the smartest people in the room, no matter who else is in there with them
  2. That they are paragons of moral virtue
  3. That they are courageous, caring “warriors” for fairness, decency, and true justice
  4. That we lesser breeds should admire, respect, and honor them for their innumerable virtues, acknowledge their clear, God-like superiority to all other mortals, and do our best to emulate their sterling example

Send in the clowns

Don’t bother, they’re here.

New York magazine writer stumps Zohran Mamdani, top aides with ‘cost of living’ question
A magazine reporter stumped Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and his closest advisers with a question about lowering the cost of living in the Big Apple.

Mamdani and his crew didn’t have an answer when a New York Magazine writer asked for a comparable city as the democratic socialist waxed poetic about his lofty “principle” of bringing down the cost of living in the five boroughs.

“I asked him and some of his advisers if there were cities that had pulled this off that New York could emulate, places that had managed to meaningfully lower the cost of living. None sprang to mind,” the article stated.

“Talk to policy experts, and they find the prospect laughable; the only cities where this has happened are ones where the quality of life dropped so dramatically that no one wanted to live there anymore.”

Point being…? What with the recent mass exodus of the last pitiful handful of sensible, intelligent souls from the ruins, NYC is already sprinting just as hard and fast as it can for the very bottom of that particular fly-blown dungheap. And with commie nitwit Zsa Zsa “A job? ME?!?” Mammyjammy at the wheel, you gotta like their chances. Taking the checkered flag in this particular race is nothing to get excited about, certainly. Even so, purblind City dwellers had better make the most of it and enjoy the Booby Prize while they can—this will be the last victory New Yorkers will have for a long, long time. Après MammyJammy, le déluge.

Clearly, the above-mentioned New Yorker hack didn’t get the memo: you never, but NEVER, ask a Socialist a question about economic policy. They know about as much on that subject as famous retard Tampon Timmeh! Walz does about string theory, therefore are sure to make a dog’s breakfast of the whole enterprise.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, gang, but after all the years, all the tears, and all the predictions of imminent doom which turned out to be a trifle premature, New York is truly over and done with. You only get so many spins of the cylinder before a loaded chamber comes up, so many goes at taunting the tiger before the tiger chews you to pieces and spits you out. About three weeks worth of MammyJammy (mis)rule ought to put the final nail in NYC’s coffin. Resilient as the City has proven itself to be time and again, selecting as Mayor a dull-witted, silver-spoonfed Muzzrat Richie Rich who has never worked a day in his useless life is a self-inflicted wound from which Noo Yawk Fuckin’ City will not recover.

Trump must continue to hammer the point home like a broken record: there will be NO bailout, NO federal relief programs, NO FederalGovCo knight in shining armor riding up on his snow-white charger to pull NYC’s chestnuts out of the fire in the very nick of time. New Yorkers, having voted for the assclown MammyJammy overwhelmingly—a landslide romp which, in effect, bestows one of the strongest mandates ever on an egomaniacal muttonhead who is singularly illl-equipped to wield it judiciously—now have no one but themselves to blame for what they’ll soon be getting. Let them get it then, Mencken-style (ie, good and hard), until they’re so completely downcast that the humiliation of this latest and greatest folly in a long and distinguished line of foolish, impenitent acts of municipal auto-annihilation shall be seared into their collective memory forever.

May New Yorkers rue the day they made such an suicidally-unwise choice. May the impending catastrophe scar them so indelibly they will be driven to reconsider…well, damned near everythiing, actually. May the enduring pain of this experience burn away, like a chill morning fog, their abiding arrogance; their deep-seated superiority complex; their ahistorical ignorance; and their counterfactual assumptions. May the sight of their once-majestic City burning all around them—collapsing into violence, lawlessness, and anarchy thanks to their own infantile prejudices and delusions—inspire them at long last to embrace humility, contrition, and thoughtfulness.

And if that doesn’t work out, just build a 40-foot high, razor-wire-topped, concrete wall around Manhattan, post armed guards along the perimeter, shut off the electricity, rename it Manhattan Island Federal Penitentiary. Then, should PoTUS’s chopper go down inside the Wall, send Snake Plissken in to bring the blaggard back out again.

Q&A

The “Q” I’ll put in boldface, in the excerpt; the “A” will follow.

Mamdani-Backed Socialist Trashes July 4, Says Independence Day ‘Means Nothing’
A New York State Assembly candidate who carries the official stamp of approval from Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America is facing heavy criticism after comments resurfaced in which she trashed the Fourth of July and other American holidays. How much more do the people of New York need to see to understand that the far left hates them and the country, values, and way of life they take for granted on a daily basis?

A: A gargantuan majority of NYC dwellers being dyed-in-the-wool Leftards themselves, they not only know already, they also agree a billion kajillion zillion percent with the expressed sentiments which the PJM scribe finds so abysmally shocking. NYC has been one of the principal havens for Goosesteppin’ Leftists and their demented ideology since the 60s at least, if not well before, and it isn’t remotely likely that that will be changing anytime soon, if ever. See also Shitcago, San Fransicko, El Lay, Ausgrim, Seassole, et al.

It’s an urban thang, see; you hicks from the sticks wouldn’t understand, and shouldn’t even try lest you embarrass yourselves horribly.

All this squawk-squawk here lately about Moslem rapefugees failing to adjust and acclimate themselves to the culture they’re overrunning, when practically every lackwit Progressivist baglapper infesting Western Civ is in even worse need of a healthy dose of assimilation their own foul selves.

Vichy GOPers get RESULTS

Just not ones anybody much wants.

Minnesotans Complained to RINO Congressman Years Ago About Somalis. This Is the Response They Got.
Back in 2023, the Republican Conference in the House of Representatives nominated Rep. Tom Emmer (RINO-Northwest Somalia) to be speaker of the House. Once and future President Donald Trump, however, was less than pleased with the prospect of Emmer as speaker, and said that the “globalist RINO” from Minnesota was “totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters.” Trump worked hard against Emmer’s bid to be speaker, and when Emmer dropped out of the race, Trump took a victory lap, saying: “He’s done. It’s over. I killed him.”

Emmer wasn’t quite politically dead; he didn’t become speaker, but he did become House Majority Whip, a position he still holds. Nevertheless, Trump was right. Emmer was indeed totally out of touch with patriotic voters, as he showed when embattled Minnesota residents tried to bring him their complaints about the massive influx of Somalis into the state. Now that those Somalis have perpetrated a multi-billion-dollar welfare fraud scheme, Emmer’s callous indifference to their concerns looks even worse than it did when he first  yawned in the faces of his worried constituents, and chided them for not being more open to diversity.

The Daily Caller reported Monday that back in July 2015, Emmer hosted a town hall event in St. Cloud. Before a packed house in a local bar and grill, one of Emmer’s besieged constituents told the globalist RINO that most of the attendees were there in order to “find out how you feel about assimilation of immigrants.”

The man pointed out the obvious fact that everyone is ignoring, telling Emmer: “We did not ask for those Somalis. Nobody asked us if we, in St. Cloud, want those Somalis. And we understand that social groups, like the Lutheran social service and the Catholic charities, they’re dumping them in areas like St. Cloud.”

That was worthy of a careful and respectful response in itself, but the man continued on, asking Emmer: “OK, and so the question is, how many more are coming? We didn’t ask for these people. Everybody that you read about is talking about this. So that is a main issue in this city. There is no control. The people have no control over any immigration. The mayor doesn’t. I don’t know.”

This was ten years ago, when it was still taken for granted that those who expressed opinions that dissented too sharply from the left’s agenda would be publicly shunned, deplatformed, and silenced. The idea that someone could object to an inundation of unvetted migrants from a jihadi hotspot was still inconceivable in the minds of establishmentarians, and Tom Emmer is and was nothing if not an establishmentarian.

And so Emmer responded to these perfectly reasonable questions and concerns by pushing back against the alleged racism of the questioner. The Minnesota resident must have been suspicious of the Somalis because he was white and they were brown, right? After all, what other possible reason could (he) have had to be suspicious? Emmer went on to insist, in all-out don’t-believe-your-lying-eyes mode, that Somalis were one of “the fastest-assimilating populations.” This prompted groans from his audience, with one man summing up what no doubt many people there were thinking: “Oh, you gotta be kidding me.”

Pure politics as usual…and purely despicable. How much longer will Real Americans allow these reindeer games to go on?

Ooooh goody, ANOTHER layer of FederalGovCo “oversight,”  interference, and impermeably murky bureaucracy.

‘Preservation’ Maneuver by Jamie Raskin Confirms the White House Ballroom Project Has Broken Him
Even if one gave Democrats a fraction of the benefit of the doubt (which we won’t) over their various grievances with President Trump’s America First agenda, the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the ballroom project currently underway at the White House has added a whole new layer of unhinginess to the mix.

This is despite the fact that White House renovations have been undertaken by presidents from both political parties throughout our country’s history, including under both the Obama and Biden administrations.

There have been two lawsuits filed so far over the demolition of the East Wing, one that was filed by a Virginia couple in October but which was voluntarily dismissed, and a more recent one from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which suffered a setback Tuesday when a federal judge denied them the temporary restraining order they sought to halt below-ground construction as the case proceeds through the courts, as we previously reported.

Meanwhile, Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) announced legislation on Tuesday that effectively confirms that both Trump and the ballroom have broken him:

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland plans to introduce legislation Tuesday that would subject White House renovations like President Trump’s ballroom project to the same reviews as other federal projects. Currently, the White House is exempt from certain oversight under the National Historic Preservation Act.

Raskin’s bill, called the “People’s White House Historic Preservation Act,” would require White House renovations to undergo a so-called “Section 106 review,” a pre-ground breaking assessment that addresses the impact of renovations on historic buildings and allows the public to weigh in.

“It’s kings who treat public property as private property,” Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, told CBS News in a phone interview. “It’s not his house; it’s our house. And if there is going to be construction and renovation expansion or changes, that should go through a regular public process.”

Gee, quelle surprise: as ever, the only cure for purely partisan D卐M☭CRAT disgruntlement is bigger government, more legislation, and another ream or two of mandatory paperwork to be filled out, turned in, checked for proper compliance with all applicable requirements, standards, and procedures, filed, and forgotten.

Myself, I’d like to take this opportunity to commend to y’all’s attention the pungent, clear-eyed analysis proferred by Luke Yarwood mentioned earlier here: “Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MP houses in Parliament. We need to take over by force.” Amen to all that, friend.

Denounce Yarwood’s words as nasty, intemperate, extreme, and/or unacceptable if you like; genuflect before the brazen idols of the Wokester/Leftist temple; proclaim your fealty to the PC Leviathan—the man also happens to be right, and we all know he is. Those of us who are presently just too enlightened and overrefined to hear such strong, no-bull language without either holding their noses in mortified revulsion or just collapsing in a dead faint will be singing a very different tune when the Dismal Tide has finally inundated their AO, I’d bet.

Update! Via Ed, just another case in point re the unalterable mindset of these grabby, self-important dullards.


Catch that operative word, did ya? Unregulated. Quelle horreur! Can’t be having that, now can we, Bernadovitch?

FEUD!!

The Hatfields and McCoys, it ain’t.

JD Vance Turns Tables on Reporter’s ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ Gotcha Question in Spectacular Fashion
As we’ve extensively reported, the mainstream media loves to stir the pot when it comes to alleged “tension” among members of the Trump administration, which we’ve seen play out, for example, in hit pieces about Secretary of State Marco Rubio and various members of the Trump team.

One of the more notorious ones involved Rubio and Steve Witkoff, United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, and a longtime close friend of President Trump. A CNN write-up from March claimed without evidence that Rubio was miffed because he allegedly thought he was being “overshadowed” by Witkoff.

Both Witkoff and Rubio shut the rumor down soon after, with Rubio in particular tweeting that “CNN is an anti-Trump gossip tabloid that uses thinly sourced stories to generate clicks and try to make trouble. Witkoff is one of the people I work with the CLOSEST on our team. These people are pathetic.”

The latest addition to the mainstream media’s “feud” narrative comes from Vanity Fair, which published an interview they did over the course of 11 months with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who, in turn, described the story as “a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history,” an article where “significant context was disregarded,” according to Wiles.

Many members of Trump’s cabinet have rallied to Wiles’ defense, along with Vice President JD Vance, who was asked after an economic speech he gave in Allentown, PA, on Tuesday about a quote from Wiles in the piece where she stated that Vance had been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Vanity Fair did not provide any context for the remark, lending credence to Wiles’ statement about things being taken out of context.

As for Vance, he just nailed it in his response, turning the question around on the reporter by pointing out that not only had the “conspiracy theorist” chatter been a running joke between Wiles and him for months, but also that he was a conspiracy theorist only in the cases where the theory proved true.

Not that truth, facts, or observable reality matter one iota to Enemedia “journolismists,” natch. These jackanapes would NEVER permit such footling inanities to get in the way of a good narrative, don’tchaknow.

Escalation

Ahh, le mot juste.


Encore, mes amis.

Pentagon Escalates Investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly for ‘Serious Allegations of Misconduct’
The Department of War (DOW) is escalating its review of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a retired Navy captain, to an official command investigation into his participation in a video dubbed “seditious” by President Donald Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth called the video “despicable, reckless, and false,” calling Kelly, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO) the “Seditious Six” in a social media post:

While four of the other participants in the video are former military, Hegseth explained that they are not “retired” so they “are no longer subject” to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

“However, Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ — and he knows that,” the secretary stated. “As was announced, the Department is reviewing his statements and actions, which were addressed directly to all troops while explicitly using his rank and service affiliation — lending the appearance of authority to his words. Kelly’s conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.”

The investigation could result in further actions, including recalling Kelly to active duty status to initiate “court-martial proceedings or administrative measures,” the DOW said.

Do it. Slap the half-bright boob so hard when he stops rolling, his clothes will be out of style. Y’know, pour encourager les autres.

Parasites

And, as parasites always do, the pAntiFa variety is going hell-bent for leather to kill off its host. In fact, that’s for all intents and purposes the characteristic that defines them as parasites and not, say, symbiotes or something else more or less benign.

Here is a pamphlet that is being distributed by the insurgents (pdf warning, but it’s hosted here) at ANTIFA and BLM. It’s called “Why we break windows.” Here is an excerpt:


property destruction is an effective tactic. From the Boston Tea Party to the demonstrations against the 1999 World Trade Organization summit in Seattle, property destruction has been an essential part of many struggles. It can pressure or punish opponents by inflicting an economic cost.

You know what else punishes opponents who would break my shit? Bullets. That doesn’t mean that shooting people is a valid form of discussion or protest. Then the rationalize it thusly:

Shop windows represent segregation. They are invisible barriers. Like so much in this society, they simultaneously offer a view of “the good life” and block access to it. In a polarizing economy, shop windows taunt the poor with commodities they cannot afford, status and security they will accumulate so much wealth at everyone else’s expense. In this situation, never attain. For millions upon millions, the healthy food, medicines, and other goods they need are the breadth of an entire social class away from them, a gulf they will not cross in a lifetime of hard work—a gulf represented by half an inch of plate glass.

Property rights are anathema to commies. They don’t want to work for it, but they want it. So they take it. At the end of the day, that is socialism and communism is- the theft of goods and services, wrapped up in a pretty bow. That’s why so many who espouse these theories imagine themselves as sitting around writing shitty poetry while other, less educated and intelligent folks, slave away in the gulags.

Follows, DiveMedic’s pithy thoughts as to what might be done:

Still, I am not here to psychoanalyze their behavior. The point of this post is twofold:

  • To show that there is no discussion, reasoning, or changing the minds of those who are trying to overthrow our very way of life, and
  • To point out that there is only one way out of this, albeit with two possible outcomes

This is the reasoning that they give for breaking windows:

It is not a coincidence that shop windows have been targeted in protests against police violence. Businesses, be they multinational or local, are the tax base that pays for police, and without police they would not be able to addressing protests directly to the police is oblique, for the police answer to business owners and politicians, not to public opinion. It is much more direct to target their bosses, the capitalists themselves. Cost them enough money in smashed windows, and maybe they’ll think twice about what kind of policing they call for.

They are wrong. The police aren’t there to keep the poor people poor. No, the police are there to ensure that the accused receive a free trial. If the police cease protecting society from those who would destroy their property, those who wish to protect their property will simply begin killing those who would destroy and steal their property. The posse rides out in search of the horse thief, then the posse returns with the horse but not the thief.

They sure do seem to be counting on a heck of a lot of assumptions which are not now, nor have ever been, in evidence, don’t they? Fine by me, though; let’s all just see how well that works out for ‘em ere the end.

Echoes

It’s more than just my vanity talking when I say this dude sounds a lot like me.

Apocalypse Now?
I am not prone to doomsday thinking, but neither am I unrealistically optimistic. When President Trump won the election for a second term (against overwhelming odds) in 2024, I understood that the nation had not been “saved” from the radical Left’s destructive policies; we had merely gotten a reprieve. Still, events this year, since Trump 2.0 took office, make me wonder if the polity is too divided, too debased, too indoctrinated, and too detached from “traditional American values” to survive as a democratic republic committed to the rule of law. For the first time in my life, I am concerned about the survival of the United States—not from a foreign threat, but from within.

Blue states and blue cities that had declared themselves “sanctuaries” for the millions of Third World invaders have now become the epicenter of a secession-like resistance to the enforcement of federal immigration law. Democrats’ frantic efforts to demonize, obstruct, and endanger ICE, with the active assistance of rogue judges, amount to an insurrection. Democrats seek to prevent the deportation of, and to grant de facto amnesty to, the millions of illegal aliens who flooded our borders under Biden—foiling our immigration laws. The only possible explanation is that Democrats hope to transform the electorate with Third World detritus, to whom they intend to grant de jureamnesty (and voting rights), thereby ensuring perpetual political control by presiding over the resulting welfare state.

This is not new—indeed, it has been going on for deacdes in California–but I had hoped the American public would rise up and oppose the Democrats’ Kevorkian-like national assisted suicide when it became apparent that importing the Third World was a conscious strategy to ruin America. Just look at the Somali enclaves in Minnesota and the Muslim enclaves in Michigan. They did not happen by accident. The massive influx of illegal aliens with foreign customs, attitudes, and beliefs—unwilling to assimilate and hostile to our culture–erodes the civic glue that binds us together as Americans. Thus, blue city voters elected a socialist pro-Palestinian Muslim as mayor of New York City, and the radical Left’s reaction to the assassination of a National Guard member by an unvetted Afghan refugee in the nation’s capital is to blame President Trump for deploying the National Guard.

Where is the outrage at widespread predation and fraud by foreign invaders?

Isolated in whatever tiny pockets of old-school Real Americanism that still exist, that’s where. Which indicates that the only realistic answer to the question posed in Pulliam’s title is that, much as we may need one right about now, there is in fact no “apocalypse” coming, neither in the short nor the long term.

Apocalypse now? Apocalypse NEVER, more like.

Lots more yet and, grim and depressing though it surely is, you must read all of this one, folks.

(Via Insty)

Beware of shitlibs crying “Nuremberg v2.0!”

Via Driscoll, a useful albeit sobering reminder.


“Show more,” I defy thee!

Nuremberg followed the total military defeat of the Nazi regime.

It didn’t appear out of political frustration or anger or internet righteousness. It came after unconditional surrender and the collapse of a government through war.

So when people on social media speak openly of “Nuremberg 2.0” for their political opponents, they’re telling you something dangerous.

They believe they’re in a war, not a democracy. And in war, they think they’re entitled to hang the losers.

Remember this for anyone slinging around “Nuremberg”. It’s reckless.

Remember indeed. Above all else, remember too that they are in no way kidding around, exaggerating for effect, or hyperbolizing when they say such things, and that their belief in their own moral and intellectual superiority is absolute, inarguable, and as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. Also, they believe not just that they’re in a war, but that they will inevitably prevail, after which smashing victory they will grind the enemy under their jackbooted heel forever.

Conduct unbecoming

A disgrace to. the uniform. a blight on the escutcheon of the US Navy, an outrageous affront to the very concept of military service.


Having met this man and spent a cpl-three hours hanging out with him years ago at NAS Oceana, I hate this has happened, I truly do. That said, though, if Trump and Hegseth don’t go to the last extreme in holding him fully accountable for his manifest sedition, then the word no longer has any meaning whatever, and really ought to be struck from the vocabulary.

Update! Blast it, almost forgot the “Show more…” end-run.

STATEMENT FROM DoW: “The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.”

As I said: if Kelly’s egregious, inexcusable infraction is allowed to go by unaddressed, then the words “insubordination, “sedition,” and “treason” no longer mean anything at all.

Actually, on reflection, they DO meann something after all, and always will. That present-day “Americans” have elected to submerse themselves so thoroughly in depravity, degeneracy, and dishonor that they now find it expedient to ignore such meaningful words and precepts says much more about them that it does about these once-powerful words…none of it complimentary.

Notable Quotes

"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

FREEDOM!!!

"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
