SMACKDOWN!

A repudiation long past due.

Rubio’s Genius Move: Venezuela Quits the ICC. Another Country Follows.
On Friday, the Venezuelan regime’s current Foreign Minister Félix Plasencia announced that “interim president” Delcy Rodríguez had instructed him to express to the current UN secretary-general that Venezuela had made the “firm and irrevocable decision to denounce the Rome Statute and initiate its definitive withdrawal from the [International Criminal Court (ICC)], in accordance with Article 127.” He added:

Venezuela considers that the Court’s actions reflect a demonstrated geographical bias, which has disproportionately concentrated its work on African and Latin American countries, to the detriment of the Global South. This pattern reveals an international justice system that, far from being applied equitably, has been instrumentalized to deepen inequalities among peoples and disregard their right to self-determination and sovereignty.

This bias is not a mere procedural coincidence, but the reflection of an institution that has placed its mechanisms at the service of interests alien to justice and the peoples it claims to protect. For this reason, we reject this dimension of lawfare, which perpetuates the persecution against the Venezuelan people and exacerbates the inequalities that international justice should correct. We reiterate our commitment to a genuinely equitable justice, respectful of the sovereignty and self-determination of peoples.

The United States State Department responded almost immediately on Saturday, welcoming the move and calling on all other members to follow the South American nation’s lead. It also pointed out that the court serves no real purpose, as it had been investigating Nicolás Maduro since 2018 with “no result.” Here’s more:

The United States welcomes the decision by interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Venezuela to withdraw from the ICC and the new Venezuelan government’s partnership on American-led efforts to dismantle the corrupt and worthless ICC. The so-called court has been ‘investigating’ Nicolas Maduro since 2018 with no result. The ICC has instead wasted its resources on investigating and charging persons from countries that have competent, independent judicial systems and which never submitted to the jurisdiction of the court. This is blatant overreach, political bias and selective enforcement. The ICC is neither credible, independent, nor legitimate. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the efforts of brave American service members, Maduro is now facing justice in a U.S. court for crimes he has committed. It is time to dismantle the ICC. The U.S. calls on all members of the ICC to withdraw from the Rome Statute.

If you’ll remember, Marco Rubio came out a couple of weeks ago and basically told the ICC where it could go and said the United States will dismantle it “brick by brick, if necessary.”

Another heartfelt “attaboy” for America’s greatest SecState ever.

Our crooked, cooked-up “elections”

Meanwhile, the D卐M☭CRAT scum just keeps on lying and spinning, spinning and lying. Happily, Scott Jennings ain’t having any of that shite.

Scott Jennings Torches CNN Host for Downplaying Non-Citizen Voter Scandal
Sherrill said a software error dating back to June 2023, three years before she took office, improperly registered roughly 6,600 people to vote in New Jersey.

About 400 of those people cast ballots, according to Sherrill. I said before that Sherrill’s admission was theater, a calculated release designed to make 6,600 bogus registrations and 400 illegal votes look like the whole story instead of the tip of it. The company she tried to pin the blame on isn’t cooperating with that script, either. The vendor pushed back on Sherrill’s version of events, arguing that verifying citizenship was ultimately the state’s job, not the software’s.

But, the left, which originally claimed things like this never happen, is now pushing the idea narrative that it’s such a small amount of fraud that it doesn’t matter anyway. That is exactly what CNN’s Abby Phillip claimed Tuesday night, and Scott Jennings let her have it.

Phillip spent much of the segment trying to convince her own panel that thousands of non-citizens voting in New Jersey didn’t amount to a widespread problem, sparring first with Manhattan Institute pollster Jesse Arm before enduring the wrath of Scott Jennings

“What’s your tolerance for this?” Jennings asked her.

Phillip pressed him on whether he considered the situation widespread rather than answering the question. Jennings didn’t blink.

“My bar is, I want no tolerance,” he said. “I have zero tolerance for this.”

You know, I know, Margolis knows, and Scott Jennings knows as well that the above numbers are but the tip of a VERY large iceberg; like fleas on a ol’ blue-tick hound, when you see one you automatically know that there are at least a hundred more you AIN’T seeing. Kudos to Jennings for once again refusing to just lie down like a good Vichy GOPer and let the shitlib “journalist” steamroll right over him.

Update! More on Amerika v2.0’s fake, phony, fraudulent “elections” from JF Cotto.

When China hit British voter data, the Biden-Harris team slapped on sanctions and charges. When Iran stole files on a mere 100,000 Americans, indictments followed. But 220 million American records in Chinese hands? Silence and stonewalling. That selective blindness tells you everything about priorities in Democrat circles.

In his remarks, Trump never claimed these breaches flipped election results. He exposed live vulnerabilities that enemies have both the desire and ability to use. That matters more than rehashing 2020 fights. Our systems remain exposed today, and pretending otherwise endangers every future vote.

Non-citizen voting gets waved away as tiny. Wrong. A Homeland Security check found roughly 278,000 non-citizens registered in just four cooperating states. Democrat-run states blocked access to their rolls, so the real total runs far higher. Every illegal ballot cancels a legal one. That is illegal disenfranchisement of American citizens.

Evidence of fraud gets buried too.

In Michigan, Democrat-linked canvassers forged registrations for fake people and earned gift cards for volume. The Biden-Harris Justice Department dragged its feet for years.

Mail-in voting? Decades of studies flag it as risky. A bipartisan commission called absentee ballots the biggest source of potential fraud. Massachusetts Institute of Technology data shows fraud hits harder through mail than in person. Polls captured voters admitting to illegalities. The Heritage Foundation catalogs case after case of stolen, forged, or coerced ballots.

This pattern of manipulation did not start yesterday. Democrats have urinated on democracy for more than a century to cling to power. Sometimes with horrific results.

Like all too many others, Dr Cotto’s damp-eyed prescription for taking care of all this sick D卐M☭CRAT hoodoo is to VOAT HARDERER!© at them, rather than the shooting, hanging, throwing off of tall buildings, running over with a Killdozer, and general lynch-all-liberals approach I prefer. His closing question, however, is perfectly apt and on-point.

“That’s just common sense”

Indeed it is. No wonder the shitlibs are so violently, viciously opposed to it.


Simple good sense from an unexpected place

Second look at…uhhh, JOURNEY, ferchrissakes?!?


Also note that Mick Jagger, of all people, feels likewise.

Mick Jagger says fans don’t want political lectures at concerts after Bruce Springsteen’s anti-Trump speeches
Mick Jagger says fans don’t come to concerts to hear a political lecture in the wake of Bruce Springsteen’s on-stage speeches targeting President Trump.

The Rolling Stones frontman weighed in during an interview on The New York Times’ podcast Saturday after host David Marchese questioned him about Springsteen, who has repeatedly criticized President Trump during his latest tour.

Marchese said Springsteen “clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth” with fans before asking Jagger, “What does your relationship to the audience mean to you? What do they represent, all those people out there?”

“The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is [for] those people that come is to have the best time they possibly can,” Jagger said.

“For two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and whatever, just to give them the best time they can have.”

Provides me with a perfect excuse to run what I consider to be the absolute GOAT Stones song.

That one, Last Time, and Paint It Black are just about the only Stones tunes I ever much cared about, to be perfectly honest. Always dug Keef, always dug Charlie, but all in all? Yeah, no. I got dragged against my will (by my dear departed MiL, bless her heart) to see them live at the Meadowlands back in 2006, and it was a truly incredible show, I do admit. But still.

Hit ‘im again, John


Reality bites

Sucks to be you, cupcake.

Transgender American regrets fleeing to the Netherlands because all the Muslim migrants want to kill him
No, this is not a Babylon Bee story. This is real life.

It’s scary. It’s legitimately scary. I decided that my mental health is degrading so substantially being here that I just need to get out.

The situation I have in the U.S. as a trans person – not good, right? – but here I will be hurt or killed.

Best bit? Gotta be this right hyar (bold mine).

This interview took place in Ter Apel, a Dutch town with only 10,000 residents.

Like many small Western towns, the government has decided to fill Ter Apel with cultural enrichers – most of them military-aged Muslim men who love jihad.

Over 2,200 “refugees” now live at a center in the town – more than a quarter of the native population – putting residents in fear.

Hm. Sounds like somebody’s figured out the whole mishegas might actually be what you call one of them self-solving problems.

Y’know, I’ve read that historically, the Dutch were a pretty dang tough bunch. Having been to the Netherlands myself a time or two and mingled with a fair few of them over there, I can definitely tell you that ordinary, rank ‘n file Dutch folk ain’t at all happy with the Moslem immivasion foisted on them by their Ruling Class politicians.

Yeah, schwarma and falafel are pretty good, I like ’em both. But they ain’t worth the price you ultimately gotta pay to enjoy easy, regular access to them, I don’t think.

Jagger to Springstein: shut up and “sing!”

Love him or hate him, he’s right, and you damned well know he is.

Mick Jagger Just Said What Millions of Concertgoers Have Been Thinking
Mick Jagger has spent over 60 years commanding stages, reading crowds, and understanding why people leave home to hear live music.

His conclusion isn’t complicated: Fans came to escape their problems, enjoy the music, and have fund.

They didn’t buy tickets to hear lectures.

Asked about Bruce Springsteen’s habit of attacking President Donald Trump from the stage, Jagger said performers shouldn’t preach to their audience. A Rolling Stones concert should let people forget their mortgages, work pressure, and daily troubles for a few hours.

While I do certainly get the concept of artistic expression’s potential for changing minds, provoking thought, and, ultimately, moving mountains, I also have no patience whatever with entertainers possessed of a certain ideological bent indulging the presumptuous assumption that I’ll ever be willing to sit still for a political lecture from them during a rock and roll show. Sorry, O Great Gazoo, but…NO.

Jagger’s point is sharp because he doesn’t demand political silence from musicians. Songs have carried social and political messages for generations.

He draws the line at turning a paid performance into a speech delivered to people who can’t respond without abandoning seats that may have cost hundreds of dollars.

Springsteen repeatedly crossed that line during his Land of Hope and Dreams tour. He called Trump “reckless, racist, incompetent, and treasonous” and accused his administration of destroying the American idea.

And the beat goes on:

Fans who arrived expecting “Born to Run” also received several minutes of Bruce Springsteen’s keen political analysis.

After all, for the previous many decades, Springsteen has lived among the unwashed, uneducated, and unwitting yocals, listening to us everyday Americans struggle through life.

Pfft!

Of course, he has every right to hold those (überliberal) beliefs and express them. Fans also have every right to wonder why they paid premium prices to hear opinions available free on television, podcasts, and social media.

Some 2026 Springsteen tickets started near $200 for New York shows. Other markets saw resale prices climb far higher, depending on the date and seat. At those prices, promoters might consider adding a warning besides “limited view” and “service fees”; tickets include political commentary whether requested or not.

Of course, it must also be mentioned that any Springstein-licker willing to pony up for said exorbitantly-priced tickets not only well knows beforehand that lectures, Leftard hectoring, and Wokester sermonizing all come along with the price of admission, but also most likely approve wholeheartedly of the opinions they’ll hear their third-rate idol express between BROOOOOOCE! groaning out the tuneless medley of hit “songs.” Such low-IQ refugees from a Pavlov behavioral-science experiment are far more likely to be singing along with every grunt, belch, and incoherent mumble—clenched fists waving and tears streaming down their stubbly cheeks—than to be annoyed and insulted by all the t’ween-songs speechifying.

Personally, I’d rather go to Dearbornistan and sit, shackled and chained to my chair, through a three-hour recording of the Mooselimb call to prayer at high volume than be subjected to “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” yet another gott-damned time. But hey, that’s probably just me, right?

Q: Can the no-referee, no holds barred Death Match inside the traditional padlocked 30-foot cage featuring the Mickster and the aging, addled ex-Boss be very long in coming? Will said match be viewable gratis on a regularly-scheduled WWE broadcast, or will it be a PPV exclusive? Enquiring minds want to know, McMahon.

Dunderhead opens yap, DeSantis slaps it shut

Not at all surprising that America’s Governor would have a Silent Cal quote ready to hand with which he could fire back at MomCommie’s intentionally-insulting 4th of July remarks.


Show more defiance:

…that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.”/p>

I still maintain that Calvin Coolidge was the greatest US President since Jefferson, possibly the GOAT. Likewise, Ron the Great is perhaps the best Governor of them all, ever; it’s a measure of how very far we’ve fallen that I can’t think of a single Gov to compare to him right offhand, much less rival him. I think it safe to say that his reverence for Coolidge parallels my own, and for the same excellent reasons.

Whose fault? Why, TRUMP’S fault, of course!

Who else?

QUELLE SURPRISE! NY Times Blames Platner on — You Guessed It — President Trump
Here’s my biggest problem with the current state of looniness on the left these days. It’s not just that the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have had sanity in their rearview mirrors for years now; it’s that they’ve become criminally boring while doing so. We’ve all seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest; we know that there are crazy people out there who are fun to watch. The 2026 Democrats are just an endless parade of yawn-inducing predictability.

It’s a given that no Democrat will ever take responsibility for anything that he or she has done wrong; personal accountability is anathema to them. Although it has always been a devout hive mind, the Democratic Party did used to be good at properly throwing one of its own under the bus when it served its purposes. Now, thanks to Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome, Dems and the MSM propagandists are obligated to make excuses for any one of theirs who has fallen by the wayside, no matter how aberrant the behavior. More precisely, they are obligated to make an excuse, and that excuse is always the same.

It’s President Donald Trump’s fault.

Virtually everything written in the Times’ Opinion section is a cry for a coupon book to electroshock therapy.

One thing that I do like about the Opinion pieces in the Times is that there is never any tease or slow build-up before the whole thing goes off the rails. The crazy guy spitting up goldfish crackers in the corner while banging his head against the wall doesn’t do nuance. Here’s Yglesias kicking off this one:

Michelle, last fall, you went to Maine and walked away impressed by Platner’s charisma. You’d later write that he was “nothing like the edgelord caricature” you’d encountered online. I met Platner last summer, right after he announced his campaign, and also found him incredibly charming and charismatic, even though I didn’t really agree with his populist pitch. Alex, you have spoken to him too. Is it possible that many of us were somehow too informed on this story, and people who hadn’t interacted with the candidate saw things more clearly?

I’m certain that I could have Yglesias talk me through the “too informed” thing for a week and he’d never adequately explain it. That’s only because he’s incapable of being honest with himself. He couldn’t possibly admit that what he did there was position himself as being intellectually superior to his readers while at the same time telling them that he was too stupid to see what was in front of him.

The general vibe here is that Platner is the only Dem candidate in recent years who has any, shall we say, rough edges. As I wrote in the Morning Briefing at the beginning of June, Platner is definitely not an outlier in the Democratic Party. They accepted him simply because he is them. Dems are in their sixth decade of making excuses for Teddy Kennedy; covering for awful people is part of the party’s DNA.

Commie radicals; pedophiles; rapists; noxious bigots; gender-addled sexual deviants; dimestore dictators; violence-prone narcissists: they don’t merely COVER for awful people—for the most part, they ARE awful people. It’s why the spectacular Platner self-immolation has them so fretful and perturbed of late; by plumping so hard for an obvious creep early on, their true colors were on open display for all to see, leaving them nothing to hide behind, no more masks or disguises to don, no plausible excuses and rationalizations to crouch beneath until, with lots of MSM assistance, the whole self-generated shitstorm blows over and is forgotten.

Anybody with even half a lick of sense knew what these dirtbags were all along; now, after this debacle, EVERYBODY does. It’s an extremely ugly picture, and there ain’t no unseeing it.

Update! Larry Correia expresses it a helluva lot better than I can.

Don’t let them distance themselves now. These shit heads knew Platner was scum the whole time and made excuses for him.

Who could have possibly imagined that a dude with a nazi tattoo on his chest would have a history of poor life choices? Not the DNC. This was a shocking revelation. Shocking I say. This is my shocked face.

The democrats are so desperate to get a straight white male figurehead to distance themselves from the stink of failure that is the Kamala era DEI/Box Wine Cat Lady Party, that if you look even sorta like a traditional man they’ll run you for office.

Except the democrats are so fundamentally opposed to traditional, working class masculinity all they can scrape up is closeted weirdos like Walz or Talarico, and psychopath prep schoolers like Platner. Then they try to cosplay as normal, but since they’re democrats, normal is impossible for them.

Annnnnd BINGO. Nailed it, clean and tight.

How the 4th is DONE.


Enter the best SecWar the USA has ever had.


One more time: good on ya, Secretary Hegseth, sir. This SC Congresscritter has the right of it:

Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC) responded to the suspensions by demanding that the eight helicopter pilots’ flying privileges be restored immediately.

“The [South Carolina National Guard] needs to drop this review and restore these pilots immediately,” Fry wrote on X. “Millions of Americans applauded the incredible display during Salute to the Shore flyover while expressing complete admiration for them & appreciation for our country and military.

“These pilots should be celebrated, not sanctioned.”

In a separate post, Fry announced that he has written to Guard, formally urging the outfit “to drop this meaningless, bogus investigation and swiftly allow these pilots to return to their flight status as soon as possible.”

Hells muhfuggin’ YEAH!!!

What took ya so long?

Beautiful—and about damned time, too.

Local Officials Vow To Shield the Public from Virginia’s Authoritarian New Gun Laws
A new chapter in the never-ending battle between centralized power and local control

“The assault weapons ban and the public carry ban are obviously unconstitutional,” Spotsylvania County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ryan Mehaffey, a Republican, informed 7News earlier this month. “And it’s incumbent upon constitutional officers in Virginia to come out and clearly state that they cannot be lawfully enforced, and to defend the people’s rights to keep and bear arms.”

Mehaffey has been joined by prosecutors from at least 15 other jurisdictions. On June 5, Hanover County Sheriff Gregory Six announced that he “shares many of the concerns that have been expressed regarding the constitutional implications of these laws” and that “the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office will exercise its lawful discretion and will not pursue enforcement actions under these new laws while the courts consider the pending constitutional challenges.”

These skeptics make a strong case. Last week, Lancaster County Circuit Judge John Martin issued a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the ban on so-called “assault weapons.” He considers it likely the prohibition will be found in violation of state constitutional protections.

Basically, Democrats won the last election and immediately moved to implement their long-stymied gun control agenda in a state populated by people with widely divergent views and lifestyles. They’re running up against a lack of cooperation from local officials who do most of the arresting and prosecuting.

Unsurprisingly, the politicians who pushed for the restrictive new laws that are set to take effect next month are unhappy that so many local officials disdain their legislative efforts.

“Commonwealth’s Attorneys are elected to enforce our laws, which is what we expect them to do when these laws take effect on July 1,” complained Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones.

Why, certainly, asswart—assuming, of course and as always, that said laws comport and comply fully with the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, that is. If not, as you have just learned to your great annoyance, all bets are off, as long as there are even a mere handful of officials who remember what exactly this country was supposed to be all about…but, thanks to shitlib scum like yourself, no longer truly is.

Outed!

Exposing the anti-2A billionaires working to deprive us of our God-given right to effective means of self-defense. Or, to quote the article, “deep pockets for anti-gun efforts.”

Yes, of COURSE Soros is one of the scuzzbuckets. Why would you even feel a need to ask, prithee tell?

We Won’t Let Anti-Gun Billionaires Who Finance Civilian Disarmament Live in the Shadows Anymore
For far too long, anti-gun groups have been nothing more than snake oil salesmen. They claim to speak for a vast army of grassroots citizens, but the reality is these groups are astroturf. They aren’t rooted in anything more than anti-gun animus. They’re also not nearly as down-to-earth with the people they claim to represent.

They’re a high-price, but cheap knockoff of the real thing. It’s fugazi grassroots.

NSSF has called them out in the past for their bought-and-paid-for activism and it’s time to do it again. Pull back the curtain and it’s easy to see that the antigun movement isn’t much more than a few billionaires and activist foundations pouring cash into their pet gun control projects…to the tune of over $400 million every year.

It’s also a willing media that goes right along with them, parroting half-truths and twisting narratives to demonize American gun owners and the firearm industry that serves them.

No more. Welcome Gun Rights Insights.

Gun Rights Insights is a new outreach initiative, including periodic videos, to pull back the veil that these anti-gun billionaires creep around telling America to give up their Second Amendment rights while they enjoy paid armed security. The “rules-for-thee, not-for-me” era must come to an end. That’s why NSSF’s Gun Rights Insights will be taking note of the gun control hypocrisy.

Good on these fine folks, and all the best to ’em; follows, the naming of hoplophobe names.

No bad dogs

Your feel-good story of the week.

MEMPHIS, TN — A Memphis man learned the hard way this week that not every backyard appliance is part of the city’s unofficial “take what you can carry” rewards program.

Police say 41-year-old Leonard “Lil Riblet” Barksdale allegedly hopped a privacy fence in Southeast Memphis around 2:13 AM after spotting what he reportedly described as:

“a lightly supervised gas grill.”

According to neighbors, Lil Riblet moved through the backyard “with the confidence of a man who’s never once considered consequences.”

That confidence lasted approximately four seconds.

Because waiting in the yard was Memphiszilla…

a pit bull described by witnesses as:

“Built like a refrigerator with childhood trauma.”

Authorities say the dog immediately activated what experts are now calling:

“The Find Out Phase.”

Neighbors reported hearing screaming so intense one woman thought somebody was auditioning for a gospel solo three streets over.

One resident said:

“That man hit notes that could remove wallpaper.”

Police say Lil Riblet attempted multiple escape strategies, including:

  • Climbing a trampoline
  • Throwing a lawn chair as a peace offering
  • Yelling “BAD DOG” in a voice cracking like a middle school clarinet
  • And at one point allegedly trying to negotiate: “Bro please… I don’t even need the grill anymore.”

But Memphiszilla was reportedly unmoved.

Investigators say the suspect eventually climbed onto a patio table and called 911 HIMSELF while the dog circled below like a furry tax collector.

Dispatchers reportedly struggled to understand him because he was simultaneously crying, wheezing, and screaming:

“HE GOT MY SLIDES!”

When officers arrived, they found Lil Riblet apologizing directly to Jesus.

I won’t even speculate on what that jibber-jabber about his “slides” might be all about. In any event, TH’s closer is priceless:

In Memphis, you might steal somebody’s grill…

…but sometimes the grill comes with teeth.

Heh. Effing BRILLIANT, start to finish. Yes, there’s a pic of the shredded spook included, which is sure to make your day no matter how rotten a mood you’re in.

We cannot spare this man, Sen John Kennedy

He fights.

He Said What He Said: Sen. Kennedy Flattens Schumer, Platner As the ‘Platner Wing’ Tightens Its Grip
As I wrote on Thursday, the results of the Maine Democrat Senate primary made clear that a majority of the Democrats who voted wouldn’t care if Graham Platner kicked puppies, crushed butterflies with his bare hand, and stole old ladies’ purses, much less be a Nazi sympathizer and allegedly physically abusive towards a woman, provided he does his part in giving the party control of the U.S. Senate.

While he has his true believers in the Senate, like Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), others, like Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), have been purposely avoiding saying too much about Platner, and his Republican colleague, Sen.John Kennedy (R-LA), knows exactly why.

Kennedy has made it a point this week on at least two occasions – one on the Senate floor and one in a Fox News interview – to point out how it’s now the “Platner wing” of the party that controls it, and also to warn folks exactly what that entails and the kind of person Graham Platner is and what he represents.

Better sit down for this, folks. If you know Sen Kennedy at all, you know it’s gonna be not just good, but effin’ GREAT.

In his Senate floor speech, Kennedy observed that Schumer was now “taking his orders from the Graham Platner wing of the Democratic Party” because that wing of the party “is in control.”

“Many members of Democratic leadership are scared to death, and they’re gonna do what the Graham Platner wing of the party wants,” he went on to say. They want to “burn it down, they want chaos, because they think it will help them win the midterm elections.”

Heh. Oh, but wait, it gets even better still.

Mr. Platner seems to be one of the new faces of the loon wing of the Democratic Party. Clearly, he’s angry. When I see him on TV, he always looks like he’s straining to have a stool.

His supporters say no, you don’t understand him. He’s just idiosyncratic. I guess he goose steps to the beat of his own drummer. But his history shows there’s more than that.

I mean, this guy makes…he makes Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez look like Aunt Bea in Mayberry. Mr. Platner’s comments about black people, his cavalier attitude towards rape, apparently his stated preference for masturbating in a porta-potty, his contempt for America.

I think at one point he implied he wished the Taliban were better shots to kill our people. This is not normal. I mean, this guy is 10 exits past normal.

Then he says well, that was in my past. I’ve been born again. But just recently we found out through his wife that Mr. Platner has been sending sexually explicit messages, digital messages, to other women.

He calls it sexting. He says, ‘Oh, there’s nothing to see here.’ Well, Anthony Weiner was sexting. We all said what is that about, and we found out he was sending pictures of his penis to young women.

Now, I’m not saying Mr. Platner is doing that. I don’t know. But he needs to release those text messages. I want to know if he’s a sexual predator! I mean, the people of Maine deserve to know. This guy is…he’s like a Saturday Night Live skit!

Video of the whole scrump-dilly-icious thing at the link.

Moar stupid “liberal” tricks

It’s not that they don’t know anything. Its that so much of what they think they know…isn’t so.

First, you had shitlib sooperdoopergenius and all-round assclown Rahm Hakeem Abdullah Mohammed Emmanuel Jeffries whinging about how Trump isn’t a real fan of the basketball Knickerbockers, despite The Donald’s having been attending Knicks games at the MSG with various celebrity and/or hot-babe guests for about, oh, thirty-forty years or thereabouts, which assorted people proceeded to confirm via scads of photographic evidence in support of. 

And then Kathy Hoccchhhptui stepped in, with one of the most spectacular self-beclownings of all time. To wit:

What’s the point of even questioning Trump’s fandom? It’s stupid, and Democrats only embarrass themselves when they try. Heck, it was just a couple of weeks ago that Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) set this same trap for herself when Trump’s plans to attend the game were first made public. She posed what she thought was a clever trivia challenge. “I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 championship team and see how he does,” Hochul said.

Just one leeeeetle problem wid dat, Madame Goobernator. To wit ag’in:

The Knicks didn’t win the championship in 1993. Their last title came in 1973. Hochul’s gotcha question exposed a gap in her own knowledge of the franchise she was pretending to defend.

Heh. What a maroon. Not to worry though, Kath, thanks for playing; as a consolation prize, you’ll be receiving a copy of the home version of our game and this lovely oven mitt with your initials hand-stitched on the back.

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
