Democrat governor of huge state totally reverses course, hopes you won't notice

Almost always, reality eventually exposes stupid people--even if it takes years.  Much less often, the morons are caught on video utterly reversing their longstanding position after reality shows their policies were stupid.

Such is the case with the Democrat governor of New York:  Like every Democrat, Kathy supports increasing all taxes, to be able to keep bribing stupid Democrat voters to vote for her and her party.  In 2022 wealthy New Yorkers started leaving for Florida, and Kathy sneered:  "We don't need you.  Good riddance."

A few days ago Kathy changed her tune: "We need you to come back."  Ah well, eat shit, moron.  You were warned that constantly raising taxes would cause your residents to leave, but like all Democrats, you refused to listen.  Instead you sneered and said, in effect, "Good riddance."  But at last, reality starts to show you your policies (which are those of your party) were dumb.  

 

Stupid people running things.  Who could have guessed.

Guess what the national debt was in 2008

2008 is NOT ancient history.  If you're over 40 you were reasonably adult in 2008.  It's not like that was a century ago, eh?

In 2008 the U.S. national debt was just over ten trillion dollars.  Some conservatives saw the government spending way more than it took in, year after year, and warned:

This is dangerous and possibly fatal.  Anyone of at least average intelligence knows continually increasing debt cannot end well!  And the solution is obvious: stop spending more than you take in!

But of course no one in government paid any attention...because they wanted to keep spending billions on...stuff they wanted, stuff that would buy votes from morons.  If they spent more den duh total money duh gummint took in each year, so what?  "We kin spend as much as we want, cuz we iz duh rulers!  So SHUT UP!"

Today--just 18 years later--the national debt is...larger.  If you pay attention to what's actually happening, you know how much it is today.  So tell us.  Show your kids you're not just a moronic Democrat by telling 'em how much debt the U.S. has added in just 18 years. 

We're now $39 TRILLION in debt, adding debt at almost $7 BILLION every day.

Thanks to corrupt, moronic congresswhores, the national debt has almost quadrupled in just 18 years.  Government spending has added over $29 TRILLION to the debt in that time.

If this keeps up, we can expect...Oh, sorry!  Can't chat any longer, cuz that fabulously funny Jimmy Kimmel is on!  Can't miss him, eh?  Priorities, citizen. 

Leftist piece of shit blames Trump for the attack at the Correspondents' dinner

There's a really squirrely POS named John Stoehr, who runs a far-left propaganda rag called "The Editorial Board" on BlueSky.  Here's his piece on the dust-up at the dinner.  I've edited it to remove as much fluff as possible.
 

How did this happen? The administration is run by morons

Some early facts and thoughts about last night.

● A man rushed through security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night.  It was all caught on camera.  Most of the "news" is news about the spectacle of it all.

● The suspect was apparently armed "with guns and knives." He was tackled after running through security.  One security official was struck in the bullet proof vest.

● The president has already suggested he was the intended target. He believes his interests are the same as the country's.  

● Allen is reportedly unaffiliated with a party. That won't matter to the president and his allies. Even if he were a registered Republican who voted for Trump three times, they'd still blame "the left," meaning the Democrats. 

This is a masterpiece: a huge rule of propaganda is to get the lie into the public consciousness before anything else has made it, because without any contradictory information, most people will believe the first thing they read or hear, even if flatly, unequivocally contradicted later.  
   And in this case, we've found hundreds of posts from the attacker re-posting EVERY insane Democrat TDS talking point.  He was thoroughly radicalized by the Democrats and their Media fellators to hate Trump and Republicans.  Yet John Stoehr deliberately lies about the attacker's politics.  And without contradiction, most Americans will believe it to their dying day.

● There's a lot of chatter online about the moment being staged. The same chatter accompanied the Butler assassination attempt. But the simplest explanation is probably the best: this administration is run by morons.

● Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was asked how the suspect was able to get guns into the Washington Hilton. He said he didn't know. That's what I mean by morons. The hotel was not secured by the Secret Service. Only the event was. It took place underneath the hotel in a massive ballroom. Allen broke through security on the floor above the ballroom. 

Ah, so he was stopped mere yards after the first of several checkpoints?  Doesn't sound like "morons" to me.  And if the SS had locked down the entire hotel, imagine the screams from the Left about how Trump was forcing all the paying hotel guests to be HORRIBLY inconvenienced, eh?

● Hakeem Jeffries says polls show Trump and the Republicans are facing an "extinction-level" midterm wipeout in the midterms.  The impulse will be to use last night as a chance to portray the president – and by extension America – as a victim of leftwing violence.  Give the House to the Democrats, they will suggest, and you give in to people who hate America.

Wow, where would anyone get such a crazy notion, eh?

● While that may be true, let's not overlook media power.  Journalists, who were already deferential to Trump, are going to act like they were also potential victims of political violence. They are going to make last night seem like "a turning point," or some such, which will cause lots of Americans to believe the attacker was violent, therefore siding with Trump.

Wait...this lying piece of shit bleats "Journalists...were already deferential to Trump"??  You can't be serious!  But of course he's talking to moronic Democrats who actually believe that shit.  It's like they're living in some bizarro-universe where every meaning is reversed.

● Remember that *the press corps is predisposed to giving Donald Trump endless benefit of the doubt.* [WHAT??]  That's why even though he's an old man, he was never given the old-man treatment the way that President Biden was.  Journalists have the incentive to play along with the GOP's bad faith.

Again, bizarro-world: Except for Fox, the press has never missed an opportunity to trash Trump over everything.  Upholding immigration law to deport illegals just as Obozo did?  The press didn't say a single word when Obozo or bribem did it, but NOW the press bleats that it's cruel, inhumane.
   Arresting communist killer Maduro?  Not a single word of approval, just scathing comments.    
   Taking out Iran's atom bomb program after saint Obozo gave 'em the green light to build one?  Same: just scathing comments about how awful Orange Hitler was to do such an awful thing.
   And what meaningful incentive does this lying sack of shit think "journalists" have to "play along with the GOP's bad faith"?

● Democrat Jamie Raskin suggests a strategy to counter the impact of last night's event.  He brought the focus back to where it belongs, on Trump's choices, the results of which have been political violence. The suggestion is that the Democrats oppose him for legitimate, good-faith reasons.>>

<<Democrats want unlimited immigration, open borders.  Time after time, they try to keep ICE from deporting even known rapists and killers.  They fawn over "sanctuary cities and states" which hide illegal criminals and refuse to honor "detainer" requests from the feds.  So the POS Stoehr claims this is a "legitimate, good-faith reason" to oppose Trump.  Same with cutting brazen government waste and fraud: Democrats sue to block ALL such cuts.  Hmm...>> 

● Last night had lots of TV cameras, so we got to see Trump's feebleness.  He struggles to get up from his chair as Secret Service agents rush to cover him.  He stumbles badly before being brought to his feet and ushered offstage. This is a president of titanic vanity.  A viral video of him falling to his knees under pressure would be beyond humiliation.>>

<<Wow, and yet never a word about *bribem's* feebleness or confusion, eh?  Even piece of shit Dem-fellator Jake Tapper NOW admits they all knew bribem was a vegetable, but kept quiet cuz...dey beez reeel honest journos, eh?  Gon' tell duh troof no mattah whut, eh?
  What horseshit.  The Mainstream Media is a pack of lying propagandists, and has been since their hero Walter Cronkeit ran things.

Commenter:  "As with Butler, we'll simply *never* know 100% of what happened."
  >>Significance: If the attacker is found to have parroted every Democrat talking point, and to have sent a long explanation of his derangement to his family, Dems know the best defense is to claim "We'll never *really* know what happened here, just as at Butler.  
   We're not even sure Trump was actually shot at Butler, eh?  Coulda been hit by flying glass from the teleprompter.  Or maybe the real target was the man killed in the bleachers, and Trump was just in the way.  Yeh, dat cud be it.  And of course every American has heard that the po' young man who was cruelly killed on the roof before he could get the due process to which he was entitled had actually registered as a Republican!  So SEE??" 
   When your side is clearly responsible for this attack, the best plan is to prep the opinion battlespace by bleating a truth (that we can never know *everything*) that soon morphs into "You can't trust the claims of pipo you don't trust." 
   Remember how bribem's chief of staff got 50 "former U.S. intel officials" to sign a letter saying the laptop was fake--a Russian "propaganda ploy" to try to discredit bribem just before the election?
   Did you see people on Dem websites claiming the guy who murdered Charlie Kirk--and admitted it to his family and tranny lover, and who wrote emails about hiding the murder rifle where it was later found--did NOT shoot Kirk?  Lie, lie, lie, and most Americans will believe it simply because many don't want to believe their side would do such a thing.

Commenter: "The majority of white Americans are profoundly gullible.  You see it everywhere; and white people believing that Trump was anywhere near anything like any kind of danger, well… the Board knows.
  >>Significance:  As John Stoehr wrote above, the Democrats need to trivialize this attack.
  >>"He wudn't akshully in any danger at ALL, citizen!  After all, he only had one shotgun and one handgun, and was facing hundreds of SS men *by himself!*  So there was no way he could have actually been a threat, SEE?  So SHUT UP about this!  It wuz NO threat at all!"

The same Stoehr asshole who runs that Dem-fellating rag writes:  
   "‪The press corps is going to make last night seem like "a turning point," or some such pivotal event in The Narrative that will arise from this moment, and the result will be that lots of Americans will end up believing the same thing, therefore siding with Trump."

Really, you lying son of a whore?  You piece of shit.  Exactly the opposite: Here's a CBS gal already saying there was NO danger at all: 

So which is it, piece of shit?  Incompetence by the SS, or no danger at all because the would-be killer actually shot an SS agent a whole floor above the ballroom?  Take your pick, shithead.  You can't have it both ways.

Manifesto of the leftist maniac who shot up the White House correspondents' dinner

...in which he explains his motives and targets.  (Edited to remove most of the deranged ranting/fluff):

I apologize to...all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.

If I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. 

Why I did it:
   I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

How did this deranged moron get this notion?  Oh, dat right: from duh Lying Mainstream Media, and from every damn piece of shit Democrat politician except for John Fetterman.  They push this every damn day, especially on the late-night propaganda-fests amusingly called "comedy shows." 

My expected rules of engagement:
    Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel) are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.
    Secret Service: targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t*)
    Hotel Security: not targets unless they shoot at me.
    Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security
    National Guard: same as Hotel Security
    Hotel employees and guests: not targets

In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)

I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.

Again, where does someone who has no first-hand knowledge get these beliefs?  From leading Democrats, eagerly parroted without a word of criticism by the Lying Mainstream Media.

Rebuttals to objections:

1: As a Christian you should turn the other cheek.
    Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial.  I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.

Again: he has no direct knowledge of any alleged Trump crimes, so again the question: where did he get this rhetoric?  Democrat politicians and their Media supporters.

Turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.

Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.
   Rebuttal: Whoever thinks this way need to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim?

This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.

Objection 3: You didn’t get them all.
   Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.

Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this.
   Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack

Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.
   Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.

Sincerely,  Cole “coldForce” Allen

Ok, now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? 

Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.

What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.  No damn security--not in transport, not in the hotel, not in the event.

The one thing I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.

I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.

If anyone had done the unthinkable and stopped you, slammed your deranged, arrogant, entitled ass to the floor and found the weapons in your bags, you and your tribe would have screamed bloody murder!  "Dis beez oppression!

The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.

Really, you moronic dipshit?  Guessing you were surprised to find there were layers of security inside the hotel, eh?

Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.

Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.

"Ma Deuce" is the Army nickname for a .50-cal machinegun.

This wacko is a total creation of Democrats and the Democrat-fellating Mainstream Media.  Every lie this moron believed came from them.  And yet when a friendly Democrat-fellating CNN interviewer asked the smug leftist Demcrat piece of shit congressman Jamie Raskin "Do you think Democrat rhetoric played any role in this?" without a moment's hesitation he bleated "What rhetoric?"

Smug.  Knowing he wouldn't be challenged.

Smug.  Smirking.  Protected.  Immune from consequences.  It's how all Democrats roll.  

And now they're bleating "Dis wuz staged by Trump."  Seriously.

Oregon. You don't wanna know

Guess what all the people in this pic have in common.

 

The clue is the small green logo barely visible in the bottom-right corner of each pic: they're leftists in Oregon, busted for meth.  They're smiling because they couldn't care less--the Democrat rulers of that beautiful shithole always release them with no charge, cuz...Dems iz compassionate, comrade!  

For those of you who don't keep up with events outside your reach: five years ago the Dems who totally rule Oregon took the policy of the Democrat Partei [sic] to its logical conclusion and legalized ALL addictive drugs.  "Cuz why should duh gummint have any concern about whut yew put in your own body to get off, eh?"

Easy answer: addiction makes addicts steal and kill to get money to buy more of the drug they demand.  And it doesn't bother 'em a bit that someone else suffers for their pleasure.  Got it? 

Pushers of the faaabulous law bleated dat dis wud make everything bettah!  Crime would drop, cuz...um...reasons.  An' wif all duh money duh state wud save by NOT prosecuting druggies or paying to put 'em in jail for a few months, duh state cud pay fo' drug counseling and "treatment," eh?

And like magic, hundreds of "drug counseling and treatment centers" were instantly created and accredited by the state.  To the surprise of no one, every one of these centers were run by leftists, many of whom were relatives of state lawmakers.  Cuz dems iz, like, reeeeally compassionate, eh?

Getting paid $100 per client per day had nuffin' to do wif it.

So how many druggies sought "treatment" at the taxpayer-funded facilities?

A few dozen.  And did crime by drug addicts drop?

Hahahahahaha!  It got worse.  Lots worse.  So after 18 months even the stupid Democrats who rule Oregon (and continue to rule it to this day) gave up, and repealed the law legalizing all addictive drugs.  Oh wait...they didn't.  Instead they let citizens vote on it, in a "referendum."  Cuz dat way duh Dems couldn't be accused of being anti-drug!  They'd simply accept the "will of duh pipo," eh?

So...can we learn anything from this?  (If you're a Dem in Minnesota you may need to consult a Somali "Learing Center" [sic] to grasp it.)

The answer is No:  Oregon is still ruled by "smaht but moronic" Democrats--and always will be, because the leftist druggies of Portland far outnumber the conservative rural citizens.

And here, finally, rational people see the fatal weakness of "democracy:"  The drug-addled morons, and their left/liberal enablers, will always vote Democrat, so the Dems will continue to rule Oregon.  

Two hours after the gunman was at the dinner, commenters were bleating "Dis beez FAKE!"

Two hours after the gunman at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the X account at this link had about 200 comments.

If you want an indicator of how deranged Democrats are, consider this: 

At least 40 wrote some variation of "Dis beez FAKE!!!" 

Dozens of other X accounts contained about the same percentage of "Dis beez Fake!" comments.  Wow.  Then you go back and see that the same percentage claim Trump was NOT actually shot in Butler, PA. 

Here's a different X account, with the same percentage of Democrat deniers.

The Democrats have several layers of denial--a kind of "defense in depth:"

• "None of it happened--it was all fake."
•  "It may have happened, but was staged by Trumpies to distract us from Iran.
•  "If it happened, it was only due to the incompetence of Trump's Secret Service.  Would nevah have happened if that excellent woman who headed the SS when Trump faked being shot in the ear at Butler had still been running it!
• "Trump will blame Iran, then use this as an excuse to bomb Iran again.
• "Totally staged by Trump to help his pathetic poll numbers.
• "How could someone living in California know about the lack of security in a space where high security would be expected?"
• "It shouldn't have been possible to get a gun into a secure venue like this.  So it must have been allowed in--which proves it was staged." 
• "False-flag to try to blame Iran."
• "Staged to distract from Trump's and the military's total failure in the Strait of Hormuz."
• "Staged to win the Rethuglicans a few more votes in the mid-terms."

And my favorite in terms of insanity: "Americans will eventually discover that the Jews are behind this, because they oppose the ceasefire with Iran."
   
===
For all those in the media who (understandably) dived under tables to avoid being shot: Hope you were scared to death.  I'd hope the experience just might cause you to reconsider the scathing contempt in all your reporting about our military and cops, by recalling how you all felt at that moment, and that the fear you felt in those moments might change your world-view a tiny bit.  

But of course it won't: tomorrow you'll be right back to "Trump BAD, Iran, leftists and illegal aliens Guuud!"

You Democrat-fellating, Trump-hating "journalists" are unhinged, irrational.  But on some deeply-buried level you KNOW the truth, which is that you're tools of the Democrat Partei who haven't a clue about how the world really works--which is, without cops, some deranged asshole like Luigi Mangione, or the guy who shot Charlie Kirk, or the career criminal who fatally stabbed Iryna in the throat from behind as she sat on a streetcar won't hesitate an instant to kill you too--even if you're an "elite" "journalist."
  But because only one thing matters to you and your comrades--blocking everything Trump tries--you'll continue to support the Islamic regime in Iran, and Chuckie Schumer, and AOC, and Hakeem Jeffries, and socialism, and Chyna--because the only thing that matters to you dumb bastards is winning power for the Democrat party.
   It's the common thread that motivates all of you, and you know it.  More than that: doing eve everything you can to destroy Trump makes you feel virtuous, both because you hate him, and because defeating his policies at every turn wins power for your Partei.

You're giving your country away with both hands, but you're too blinded by TDS to see it.  

Democrat Gavin Newsom wants to be president; has given almost a billion tax dollars to leftist orgs

For young Americans: Democrat California governor Gavin Newsom is slick, oily, corrupt and a brazen liar and hypocrite--which makes him VERY popular among Democrats.  He's the leading candidate to be the party's presidential nominee in two years.

Newsom pushed the "train to nowhere"--a $120 billion white elephant originally touted as running from LA to San Francisco and Sacramento. (For young Americans that's the state capital.)  

Originally touted as 450 miles, it was obvious to all that the actual cost would easily be double what the backers had touted cost, so they cut the planned route back, again and again.  Now it's just 175 miles, between two towns you never heard of. 

But if you're not a conservative from California you don't care about any of that.  By contrast, you might care about the fact that Newsom has given almost a BILLION taxpayer dollars to leftist organizations working to destroy the United States.

City Journal is how journalism is supposed to work: factual, non-hysterical.  They investigated Newsoms lavish gifts--to organizations working to destroy the U.S. by opening the border and importing illegals with HIV.

My edited version of their much longer piece:

During biden's term an unprecedented wave of "migrants" entered the U.S. across the Mexican border.  The flooded in in mobs of 20,000 at a time, having been assured they'd be allowed to stay.  Many of the "migrants" paid drug cartels up to $7,000 apiece to be guided to the U.S.

At various times American authorities estimated that over 130,000 "migrants" were crossing into the U.S. each month--and not just from Latin America but every nation.

While Texas and Arizona tried to stop the flood, the Newsom regime in California welcomed it.  City Journal found that governor Gavin Newsom gave almost $1 billion to an army of nonprofits with the goal of getting more migrants to enter the U.S.

The groups have led massive street protests against ICE.  While they claim to be “humanitarian” or bleating for “immigration justice,” many are in fact left-wing activist groups determined to transform America’s demographics and win more political power for Democrats.  What's outrageous is that the Newsom regime is using tax dollars to fund it all--as he's running for president.

The expenditures have been enormous.  Since Newsom took office, California has granted massive contracts for migrant-related services: more than $250 million to Catholic Charities; $85 million to Jewish Family Services; $12 million to Centro Legal de la Raza; $23 million to the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area; and more.

Many nonprofits benefiting from these funds are shockingly radical. 

According to its own materials, Al Otro Lado is anti-borders and openly hostile to the American nation.  In one video the group shows off books from its library, such as Undoing Border Imperialism, that “remind us that the U.S. is [sh*t].” The organization is currently suing the Trump administration to prohibit the government from turning away certain migrants at the border.

Another taxpayer-funded group, Oasis Legal Services, helps “queer and trans immigrants navigate immigration relief and benefits.”  (The group denies that it encourages the entry of immigrants.)

Adam Ryan Chang, Oasis’s executive director, says his “superpower” is “homosexual audacity.”  He describes his work with the nonprofit as part of a broader left-wing campaign of “liberating” the “LGBTQ+ community.” In a recent annual report, the group boasted about representing migrants with HIV. In 2024, the report said, “one in six of new clients is living with HIV and the rest are all at significant risk of contracting HIV.” In 2025, the proportion increased to one in five.

See, what we need is to pay taxpayer dollars to import more people with HIV into the U.S.

Once unauthorized people have crossed the border, Newsom has sought to ensure that they don’t get deported.  Since the beginning of his term he's given over $100 million to nonprofits that fight deportation orders—sometimes even for clients with criminal convictions.

One of the most prominent anti-deportation nonprofits is the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, or ImmDef, which has been given at least $6.7 million in taxpayer dollars since Newsom took office. The group portrays the United States as an oppressor, claiming the Trump administration has a “white supremacist” agenda.  The org has explicitly called to “abolish the immigration prison system” and to “abolish ICE”—which, in effect, would abolish the border.

ImmDef is open about its radical goals.  In 2023  its CEO, Lindsay Toczylowski, listed one of her group’s goals as “getting people out of ICE prison.”

That's their privilege.  But why should taxpayers be forced to pay 'em?

Once illegal immigrants are in the United States, ImmDef provides legal representation to fight deportation orders, including for those with criminal convictions. ImmDef is explicit about this: it has adopted a “merits-blind universal representation model” and provides “post-conviction relief” to illegals convicted of criminal offenses.

It’s impossible to know how many illegal-alien criminals have been kept from deportation by ImmDef and other taxpayer-funded groups because of a California law prohibiting a defendant's immigration status from being revealed even in a criminal court without a judge’s permission.  But there are alarming hints.

In 2023 the taxpayer-funded San Diego County Immigrant Legal Defense Program, which has worked with ImmDef, used county funds to provide immigration legal services to 34 noncitizens convicted of crimes such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and acts of “moral turpitude.”  The program insists that such migrants made up a “very small share” of its caseload.

Meantime, Democrats apparently want to scrap any reforms and dramatically expand legal protections for unauthorized migrants. Assemblymember Mia Bonta, wife of the state's Democrat attorney-general Rob Bonta, is working to extend state-funded legal aid to all illegal immigrants fighting deportation.

The final part of Newsom’s pro-illegal machine is the activist element, designed to resist federal authorities challenging California’s status as a “sanctuary state.”

Last summer pro-illegal protesters launched anti-ICE demonstrations around the country, most notably in Los Angeles, where the riots cost the city $32 million and led to hundreds of arrests. Throughout the city agitators burned cars, looted stores, shut down the freeway, and threw rocks, bottles, and fireworks at law enforcement officers—all, effectively, to stop Trump from deporting illegal aliens.

Activists framed the protests as spontaneous and grassroots, but behind the scenes a web of powerful organizations drove the narrative.  At the center of this web is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles (CHIRLA) has been given $110 million in taxpayer dollars just since Newsom took office.

CHIRLA is an activist outfit that can get people into the streets. The group coordinates the L.A. Rapid Response Network, which tracks ICE raids and takes “direct action to shut down detention centers.” 

At the height of the unrest, CHIRLA’s executive director, Angelica Salas, spoke at a street protest, telling crowds “We are going to stop Trump’s terror campaign against our community.  We will not stop fighting.”

CHIRLA later claimed its protest tactics are “rooted in non-violent advocacy, community safety, and democratic values.” 

The Central American Resource Center of Los Angeles, an immigrant-services nonprofit, was reportedly “heavily involved” in the demonstrations.  The Newsome regime has given this group $18 million by the Newsom administration since 2019.

When we asked the governor’s office for comment on this story, a spokesperson denied that the governor's office was “funding criminal activity or bypassing public health law.”

Who benefits from the governor's administration giving hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing organizations?  Certainly the foreigners who entered the U.S. and obviously want to stay.  But also benefiting is the vast army of nonprofits, lawyers, activists, and bureaucrats who make money from defending illegals—and keep politicians like Newsom in power. 

The web of non-profits not only bring illegal aliens into the U.S. but also maintain the flow of funds to left-wing activists who would like to see America burn.

The experts think they're right, but I have my own opinion:

The week in pictures

Everything below is from PowerlineBlog.  Great collection!

 

Dexter is a U.S. congress-creep from the Peoples' Republic of Oregon.  I originally wrote that she was a moron, but a group called Morons of America said this was an insult to them and threatened to sue.  Not having a taxpayer-funded slush-fund to pay off lawsuits, I've amended my post.

 

 

 

 

For young Americans: On 13 February 2021 Joe Biden--a demented vegetable and life-long politician whose party stole the 2020 presidential election--nominated the man on the left (Richard Levine, demanding to be called "Rachel") as Assistant Secretary of HHS in charge of Health--presumably including mental health.  This move was HUGELY cheered by all Democrats as perfect, because in Dem-world trannies are always the best-qualified for any position.

And in case you think this was just an accident, the bald cross-dresser on the right (Sam Brinton) was appointed by the bribem regime to be in charge of federal nuclear waste.  As with Levine, all Democrats hugely cheered this vital appointment, because when you want a stable, well-grounded person in a post of some responsibility, Dems know cross-dressers are the solid choice for Dem presidents.

Mark this pic well, because "Media" organs are busily but quietly erasing both from the history books.  In another 8 years no trace that bribem appointed 'em will remain.

 

The woman in the pic above is the mayor of Seattle, a "progressive activist" (communist) named Katie Wilson.  Wilson's sole substantive accomplishment prior to winning the mayor's race was to co-found the area's "Transit Rider's Union"--a non-profit which has glommed onto tons of tax dollars and in the last 3 years before the election was paying her $73,000 a year--which is nice work for a non-profit, eh?

Wilson is on the left of every issue in Seattle.  And because the city council is totally leftist-ruled, all leftist policies are quickly and efficiently adopted.  As a result, the city is becoming even more of a leftist paradise.

How to destroy the U.S. in a single generation

How many of the things below have you personally witnessed?

• Groups claiming U.S. women are being exploited by men.
• Groups trying to convince you that U.S. men are bad for...well, for everything...and therefore men should stop objecting when they see people trying to destroy our country.
• Groups claiming minorities are being exploited by whites, and that "the U.S. has always been raaacist."
• Groups trying to convince whites to feel guilty about themselves for...everything.
• Public school staff and the Media urging teens and pre-teens to believe they were "born in the wrong body," and that the only solution is to have hormone "therapy" and sex-change surgery.
• Groups insisting that anyone who objects to "hormone therapy" and sex-change surgery on teens and pre-teens is a stupid, hateful bigot.
• Groups insisting that socialism (communism) is FAR better than free markets.
• Groups insisting that "no human is illegal," so we must allow anyone to enter the U.S. and vote in our elections (i.e. open borders).
• Groups insisting that requiring photo-ID and proof of citizenship to register to vote is somehow "voter suppression."
• Groups insisting that requiring that mail-in ballots must bear voter signatures that actually match those on file, and witness signatures, is somehow "voter suppression."
• Groups insisting that nations that seem to want to defeat us don't really want to do that--(you just imagined it)--and thus that taking military action to oppose such nations is simply "Rethuglican hate" and a waste of money.

Now: how many of the above things have you personally witnessed?  If you think about it, you'll realize the same people are pushing ALL the policies and mandates above.  They're Democrat policies slobberingly parroted by the Democrat-fellating Mainstream Media.

Question is, do ya think the people pushing all these policies and demands are doing this by coincidence--by accident? 

If you believe that, I've got some ocean-front property in Nebraska I'll sell ya, cheap!

(For young Americans living on either coast: Nebraska is a U.S. state in the center of the U.S.--what the "elites" call "flyover country."  It's totally land-locked, meaning no ocean-front property.) 

MASSIVE welfare fraud in California, part # 456,934

"City Journal" is one of the good guys: honest, non-hysterical, rock-solid.  If you wanna know what's going on with the corrupt Dem shitholes, you need to read these folks.

Wait, my bad:  Cuz if you're a Democrat you do NOT want to know what's going on.  Or else you cheer the massive theft, just as Dems today are actually pushing up-scale elite women to steal from Whole Foods and other big companies.  "No problem," right?  And gummint is just like a big company, eh?  Ahh yes, of course.

Amusingly, reality will sort this all out, sooner than you might imagine.  If you're under 40 you'll almost certainly get to live it.  Spoiler: you won't like it.  And you can thank Democrats and RINOs.

SO...thanks to decades of Democrat one-party rule, California is one of the most corrupt states in the nation--and that's saying something.  Thanks to corrupt Democrat policies, billions of taxpayer dollars are being lost each year to brazen, obvious fraud.  That is, easily detected, easily prosecuted.  But the corrupt Dem state refuses BOTH to investigate fraud, to prosecute, AND to change policies to make it harder for grifters to steal. 

Average Democrat: "NOOoooo, dis not true!  Dis jus' a right-wing conspiracy story!  Dey jus' wanna make life harder fo' duh po' pipo!"

Except it IS true.  And you ain't seen nuthin' yet.  Twenty years from now people will be writing books about how obvious the massive, organized fraud encouraged by stupid Dem welfare programs was, and they'll be amazed that conservatives put up with it.

Problem was, we didn't have a choice, because Democrats are in the majority in all the Dem-ruled shithole states, so "anything goes" if they want it.

Democrat rulers--and corrupt leftist judges--have been able to shut down EVERY effort to stop it.  And with that, here's an edited version of the City Journal piece.  They go into more detail, so you're encouraged to read the original here.

Few programs are more troubled than California's $30 billion grift-fest called the "In-Home Supportive Services Program," paid for by federal Medicare and Medicaid funds, re-labeled as "Medi-Cal." 

IHSS has become one of the largest fraud programs in the U.S, with about $12 billion every YEAR being stolen by grifters.  

The program sounds compassionate: rather than putting elderly people in state hospitals, why not pay people to care for *their* disabled and elderly *family members* at home, eh?

Sound faaaabulous!  But like ALL gummint programs, grifters quickly found out how to exploit (i.e. defraud) it.  The Dem rulers created "rules" that enabled massive fraud.

A growing cadre of whistleblowers has confirmed that IHSS has become a way for criminals to get rich quick.

We interviewed a former California law-enforcement official who worked on Medi-Cal fraud cases.  Our source says the biggest source of fraud is “overlords” who buy homes and stuff them with sickly Californians, cut off from their families, to pocket taxpayer money. 

And of course the corrupt Dem-ruled state doesn’t care. Fraud is almost never punished: few cases are ever pursued, and the few that are are routinely downgraded by corrupt leftist California judges from felonies to...time served.  Favored  offenders are let off with community service.  And not a single stolen dollar is ever recovered.

The corrupt bastards never even TRY to recover stolen taxpayer money--cuz that might reflect badly on Democrat rulers.

Edited interview:

City Journal: How widespread is IHSS and Medi-Cal fraud?

Source: It’s been happening for decades.  The problem is that even when we press charges, judges just plead cases down to nothing.

CJ: What level of fraud gets investigated or prosecuted?

Source:  When I tried to get the FBI to investigate an alleged theft of $500,000 (under the bribem regime), they said that wasn’t enough for them even to look at.
   Leftist judges always end up plea-bargaining fraud charges down to misdemeanors, then giving offenders community service.  *They never go to jail*--because the judges sympathize with IHSS providers.
   
CJ: What makes the IHSS system so vulnerable to fraud?

Source:  Because the system doesn't have any checks for fraud.  They simply trust that fraudsters are telling the truth. 

CJ:  Are there any meaningful background checks for IHSS providers?

Source:  No. (Editor’s note: California Dems bleat that they require background checks for IHSS providers--and yet allows those with criminal records to get "exemptions" for all but the most heinous crimes.)

CJ: What do large-scale fraud operations look like?

Source: There’s one person—I always call them the overlord—who buys or rents 15 or 20 houses and turns them into IHSS homes.  He divides the space up and even puts ten people in the garage. 

CJ: What happens to people in these homes?

Source: Once you end up in one of these homes, they take ownership of everything.  The overlord gets access to the victim's bank account and gets power of attorney. They hold your cellphone so your family can’t contact you. You have families reaching out, saying, “I can’t reach my grandpa. Every time I go over there, they don’t open the door.”
   In one case fraudsters sold a victim’s home, stole the victim’s money, and kept the victim in poor condition. 

CJ: What has happened to the overlords?

Source: An IHSS fraudster who went to prison kept collecting IHSS payments through a family member. 
   No effort is ever made to recover money stolen from taxpayers.  No one bothers to try.  By the time anyone notices it's too late to bring a case.

CJ: What is the most common type of IHSS fraud?

Source:  Ghost billing: Fraudsters either bill for services that weren’t provided, including billing for people who died or are no longer in their care.
 
CJ: What role do doctors play in IHSS fraud?

Source: You have doctors who are billing for supposedly seeing 75 patients in one day.  That’s impossible. There’s no way a doctor can see 75 people in a day. 

CJ: Why isn’t fraud caught earlier?

Source: Even if a patient’s Social Security number is being simultaneously used by IHSS and a skilled nursing facility, the facility won’t be notified. Staff aren’t going to tell the patient, “Wait a minute. Somebody else is using your Social.” The databases don’t talk to one another. We can only connect the dots after the fact a year into the fraud. 

CJ: Couldn’t IHSS’s system flag something simple, like ten recipients at the same address?

Source: Yes but for some reason they don’t have those kinds of checks set up.  The only people who really know who’s in the house are the social workers, but they don't rat out the overlord because it isn't their job.

CJ: What happens if fraud is identified? Is the money recovered?

Source: My contact at IHSS explained that they send the fraudster a bill and say, “You owe us this much.”  But there’s never any follow-up or prosecution.  You'd think they'd at least kick the fraudsters out of the system, but they don’t.

CJ: Would unannounced visits help uncover more fraud and prevent elder abuse?

Source: Yes. 

CJ: What other changes would you recommend?

Source: The background checks seem insufficient. Disqualifying people who have any felony conviction would seem an obvious place to start.

In Detroit, thieves are stealing brass from...whut?

If you're like most Americans, you don't keep up with much that's outside your immediate reach, so you probably never knew that for several years in U.S. Dem-ruled shithole "cities" thugs were stealing copper wire from streetlights and stoplights and selling it as scrap metal.

The moronic bastards were even stealing christmas lights to sell the copper wire.

Thieves are still stealing copper in streetlights--widespread.  You just never hear about it, because the lying national media refuses to report it. 

In California's central valley--lots of farming and irrigation--Hispanic gangs began stealing irrigation pumps just for their 20 pounds of copper wiring.  The pumps were typically half a mile from the farmer's house, and near the road, and the theft would only take minutes.

Also in California lots of buildings in small towns have brass markers noting the historical significance of buildings.  Thieves discovered they could pry the markers off the buildings in just a couple of minutes and sell the brass for a few bucks.

The latest trend in theft comes to us from the Dem-ruled shithole of Detroit--a.k.a. thug-central--where thieves are stripping brass fittings off of fire hydrants--which makes the hydrants unusable until discovered and repaired. 

Democrat: "You conservatives are just doin' this for clickbait!  It can't be that bad!  Cut these po' inner-city druggies some slack!  How bad could this possibly be?"

SO..."couldn't be that serious," eh? According to Detroit's black fire chief, thieves have disabled 75 hydrants on one part of town--in just 48 hours.

Welcome to Democrat-ruled America, citizen.

A resident of Tehran on life there--and hopelessness

Following is from someone claiming to be living in Tehran.  It was posted on "Iran international."

It's hard to describe what things feel like here in Tehran.  Bad, yes, but perhaps weird and unreal are more accurate.  Everyone is wondering How did we get here?  Followed quickly by "What happens next?"

In ten months we have lived through a huge protest, a deadly crackdown and two wars. 

Trump is claiming victory, but the rulers in Tehran—whoever they are right now—claim Iran has won.  And sadly U.S. Democrat politicians are saying the same.  Regardless, people here are exhausted--completely spent, at least for now.

The economic disaster has been visible for months. Layoffs are spreading, prices rising daily.  People joke that at least the shops are full of goods, because no one can afford to buy them.

Last year I wrote that when people in Iran speak about the future they usually mean tomorrow.  Now even that time horizon has shrunk.

Belief in a better future is a coping mechanism.  But now no one sees any chance of the future being better in our lifetimes.  People don't want the Islamic regime to survive—perhaps even more harsh and unified than before--but without guns we can't resist the murderous basij and IRGC.

President Trump says Iran’s capabilities have been obliterated, and “regime change is complete." We haven't seen it even begin.  The mullahs, the IRGC and the basij thugs appear firmly in control of the streets.  Every night they stage loud displays of celebration—part rally, part carnival—proclaiming victory and implicitly daring anyone to disagree.

Even if the parties agree on peace terms, ordinary citizens of Iran aren't on the U.S. agenda.  Even Trump has said he isn't demanding regime change.

Almost no one outside Iran seems to notice how isolated we have become.  The mullahs are sealing off the country, one rule at a time.

People still go through the motions of life, but most Iranians have stopped hoping.

Predicting the future re: Iran

As expiration of cease-fire nears, Iran refuses to send negotiators to Pakistan 

Trump wants Iran to agree not to build an atomic bomb, to surrender the 950 pounds of highly enriched uranium needed to make one, and to stop building ICBMs. 

The mullahs have refused all three demands, and  Trump has said bombing will resume if they continue to refuse.

But the mullahs, generals and IRGC thugs ruling Iran don't believe they're in any danger from that threat, because they believe Trump won't follow through.  From watching U.S. Democrat leaders like Chuck Schumer and Chris Murphy on TV, and seeing total agreement from our Media, the thugs ruling Iran believe the Democrats will succeed in getting the courts to force Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the area, leaving the Islamic regime in power.

So all the mullah have to do is "run the clock out:" They see Trump's approval numbers plummeting, so their plan is to drag out negotiations for another month or so, and U.S. Democrats will force Trump to withdraw. 

And unfortunately I think they're probably right. 

Chuckie Schumer and all top U.S. Democrat pols are blasting Trump.  When an Iranian propagandist tweeted that 26 Iranian ships had gotten through the U.S. blockade (a lie), Democrat senator Chris Murphy posted on X "Awesome."  The Dems are actively rooting for Iran to win.

Every single day the Democrat-fellating Mainstream Media broadcasts stories about Americans wailing about how AWFUL the price of gasoline is--even though it's lower than it was under bribem.  Cuz NOW it's a big deal, eh? 

So Trump is feeling pressure to make any sort of deal.  The Media say he's "desperately searching for an 'exit ramp.'"  And now he says he's extending the ceasefire.

I think that offer sends exactly the wrong signal to the mullahs because it'll encourage them to redouble their delaying efforts.  And eventually Trump will have just two options: either order the massive bombing that should have started today, or the Democrats will force him to withdraw.

Iranian citizens aren't allowed to own guns, so they can't overthrow the heavily-armed thugs of the IRGC and basij--something that was horribly proven when those groups executed 40,000 Iranian citizens at point-blank range on January 8th thru 10th.  And without an armed civilian overthrow, we can't force the IRGC and basij to surrender, so the war ends in a stalemate. 

So the mullahs will be left in power--and the Democrats will gloat and crow that Trump's war wasted a billions of dollars and accomplished absolutely nothing--deliberately failing to note that we destroyed Iran's ability to further enrich uranium to build an atomic bomb.
 

Mainstream Media: "The U.S. is losing to Iran, badly! Doom and defeat are imminent!"

I'm watching NBC and the other treasonous, anti-Trump, pro-Iran Mainstream Media organs bleat about what they think the U.S. should do, with Iranian leaders threatening to unleash new "cards" on the battlefield.

Funny shit.  Here's what to do: Announce "We totally understand that the Islamic rulers of Iran are unwilling to surrender, since that would result in them being torn limb from limb.  We fully appreciate that dilemma.   So even though we'd like to have an end to this, because we can't change their minds, we welcome their sending out more thousands of their loyal troops to take on the U.S. military.  After all, that's worked SO well for you in the past."

"Lather, rinse, repeat.  We're prepared to do this until you either run out of loyalists or decide to stop sacrificing your supporters.  Your call.  Just keep in mind that the more people you sacrifice in your selfish attempt to maintain power, the worse for you when your people take over.  But hey, we're fine either way you wanna go."  

NY Times: "Some experts say most of the beaches on east coast will be gone in 25 years"

Ahhh, the New York Times!  The leading voice of the U.S. left.  Every Media outlet slobbers that the Times folks are reeeeally smaht!  Totally honest and unbiased!  So...here's what they published: 

 

"Some experts say most of the beaches on the east coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years."  Note the date that was published: September 18, 1995.  We're now over 30 years later, and last time I looked not a single beach has vanished.   

Moreover, the Times says beaches "are already disappearing at an average of 2 to 3 feet a year."  So now they should be chopped by 60 to 90 feet, eh?  Anyone notice that?

The reporters and editors at the Times know as much about atmospheric physics and thermodynamics as my dog.  So they find some leftist PhD looking to make a name for itself by offering up a scary scenario, which the Times is eager to print.  Dem party jumps on it, and Barack Obozo green-lights an EPA RULE forcing half the coal-fired generating plants in the U.S. to either be extensively altered or closed.  Electricity prices skyrocket. 

Years down the road, Democrat politicians and the Media blame Trump for high electricity prices. 

But you can trust the Times.  Really.  And their faaabulous "experts."

"Mom, what's a 'contradiction'?"

 

Boston faces $40 million deficit this year, so female Dem mayor gives $500 "wellness allowances" to...

Boston has a current-year deficit of almost $50 million.  So what does the corrupt, stupid female Democrat mayor Michelle Wu do?

 

This is how Democrats stay in power in Dem-ruled shithole cities and states--by giving away taxpayer money to favored groups.  In this case "wellness allowances for LGBTQs--99% of whom vote Democrat.  

This is insane.  If you'd known the future in 1990 and had told people this would be THE strategy of Democrats, and that in just 36 years cities that couldn't pay their costs would be giving $500 "freebies" to queers, no one would have believed it.  And yet here we are.

Worse yet, all the polls are predicting that *because Trump had the balls to stand up to the terrorist Islamic state of Iran and end their atomic bomb program, Dems are almost certain to win control of at least the House in November, and possibly the senate.

Lesson for Democrat pols: keep giving taxpayer money to queers and trannies, and voters will reward ya with even more power.

Ever heard this at a Democrat rally?

 

It wouldn't surprise me!

 

Where the EU, U.K. and U.S. seem to be headed

My dad was in the international oil business, and for 18 years my American parents lived in London, 100 yards from Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park.  If you're familiar with London you know that area.

I visited many times, and loved it.  Sadly, what was once "Great Britain” has become a Muslim caliphate. Islam has a long history of conquest, and they're clearly determined to rule the U.K.--and all of the EU.

U.S. Democrats: "Nonsense, deplorable!  How can yew possibly believe that?  After all, after 9/11 even Republican G.W. Bush repeatedly assured us "Islam is THE religion of peace," right?  Why would he have said that after 9/11 if it wasn't true, eh?  So you're just a paranoid conservative who hates brown pipo!"

I watch most of the EU nations becoming Muzz-ruled, and marvel at the utter stupidity of their citizens--who clearly know nothing of history--and apparently have no desire to learn.

Because from the outset, Islam has always been an engine of conquest disguised as a religion.  The Koran itself says when Muslims take power, citizens of conquered nations have just three choices: either convert to Islam, or pay a special tax--the "jizya"--on non-Muslims, or...be killed.

If you don't believe it, look it the fuck up.

It seems unlikely that just 80 years after WW2 most Europeans (Euro-peons) have become too stupid to live.  Instead the problem seems to be that with the electorate evenly divided between conservatives and idiots, European politicians have chosen to support Islam to win election.

So EU politicians are quietly sacrificing their native populations to the invaders.  And if you don't believe that you're clearly either uninformed, or too stupid to breathe without assistance.  Seriously.

74 members of the U.S. House and 25 senators are firmly in the pro-Muzz, pro-paleswinian camp.  It's how they vote, every time.  That's why the Dems have blocked every effort to reinstate funding for DHS.

The Lying Mainstream Media (Democrat fellators) have spun this battle as "conservatives hate brown pipo!"  But that seems to be a deliberate, cunning move to get Hispanics and blacks to support Democrat policies designed to advance Islam.

And the amusing part for me is that if Islam takes over all of Europe and the U.S, it won't hurt me a bit:  My life has been far better than I could ever have imagined, and I don't have kids, so when the rulers of the Democrat party turn everything to shit--as they inevitably will--it won't affect me a bit.

But if you're young, or have kids, it will sure as hell affect you and yours.

Of course you don't believe that, because you believe lying pieces of shit like Chuckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, AOC, Liz Warren, Chris van Hollen, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayana Presley, Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, Zohran Mamdani and dozens of other Democrats, and all late-night talk-show hosts, all of whom absolutely assure you that open borders and socialism are faaaabulous.

If you studied a bit of history you'd learn that they're brazenly lying.  But you can't be bothered.  Too busy, eh?

Did you hear?  Tay-tay has a new album!

Did you hear?  Netflix has a great new series! 

Did you hear?  Democrat Chris van Hollen said the U.S. is 'losing badly' against Iran! 

Have you seen the price of gas?  It's higher than it's evah been before!  An' all because Orange Hitler wants to be a king!

You may have heard some propaganda from the Trumpies that Iran was working on an atomic bomb.  That's just silly!  Pure fear-mongering.  The Trumpies throw out numbers like "60% enrichment" to make gullible people believe anything they say, cuz it sounds sciency.

Did you hear?  Jake Tapper says Putin helped Trump steal the 2024 election from the faaabulous Kamala! 

Did you hear?  All the "cool kidz" are flocking to a new social media app called Blue Sky!  It's the coolest! 

Did you hear?  Nancy Pelosi says Trump fired Christy Noam and Pam Bondi cuz he's intimidated by strong women! 

Did you hear?  Democrats say they'll impeach Orange Hitler again after they win the midterm elections in November!

It never ends.  Enjoy the Dem shit-show.

What does today's Democrat party support?

 

A brief review of modern politics in California

For decades California voters were roughly equally split between the two major parties.  But because Dems owned the big labor unions--which totally support the Dems, and could get the Dems to give 'em tons of plums like forcing all employees in fields having a union to belong to that union and pay hefty dues--that brought great riches to the Dem party leaders, and the vast campaign wealth allowed the state to gradually tip to Dem control.

Then starting around 1970 we began seeing huge waves of "migrants" entering the state across the southern border.  Most of those who gained citizenship voted Democrat.

Then Democrats in congress got a faabulous idea on how to get far more votes: they passed a law with a provision called "motor voter," which demanded that everyone who applied for a driver's license would automatically be registered to vote.

But since you didn't have to show proof of U.S. citizenship to get a DL, Republicans objected that if this bill became LAW it would result in tens of thousands of non-citizens being automatically registered to vote--which, of course, was the goal.

So Democrats piously added a provision that non-citizens could "opt out" of registration by telling the brilliant employees at the DMV "I'm not a U.S. citizens so I don't want to be registered to vote."

Of course as anyone with an IQ over 80 could have predicted, virtually no non-citizen knew they had to announce to the DMV person that they didn't wanna be registered to vote cuz they weren't U.S. citizens.  Hmmm....

And guess how many DMV people--all Democrats, of course--advised all applicants that they had to check a tiny box on the back of page 3 of the app if they didn't wanna be registered.

The result appears to be that about 900,000 non-citizens were registered.  We have a good estimate of that because court clerks mail summonses for jury duty based on voter rolls, and about ten years after motor voter they were get back thousands of responses with the box checked "I decline to serve because I'm not a U.S. citizen."

Wait...in that case how did they get on the voter rolls?  Of course: motor voter automatically registered 'em.

So the state is now totally Dem-ruled, and will never change back.  But the Dems weren't satisfied, so state lawmakers passed a law changing the rules for state elections for all offices 

Like all states, California's primary system let each political party nominate a candidate for the fall general election.  Since the Dems had a 60-40 advantage in voters (thanks to the corrupt motor voter law), that always ensured a win.  But top Dems realized that if their candidate was known to be a corrupt, woman-assaulting loser (like Eric Swalwell), their advantage advantage in voters might not be enough to win: enough voters might stay home to hand the election to the Republican.

So they came up with a plan to make their lock on power even tighter: they passed a LAW changing the rules for primary elections.  So now, instead of the top vote-getting candidates from each party facing off, from now on the general election would be between the two candidates getting the most votes *regardless of party.*

For all practical purposes this meant both candidates would be Democrats.  So if one was found to be a crook before the election, the Dems would still win.  

That's brilliant--some real Chinese communist party thinking.

SO...a dozen candidates had filed for governor, and just two Republicans.  And because lots of low-income white residents are disgusted with Gavin Newscum, many didn't vote.  So according to a poll by "Berkeley IGS (March 9–15), the two top vote-getters were Republican Steve Hilton
at 17%, and Chad Bianco at 16%.

Swalwell was tied with the ghastly, moronic Katie Porter at 13%.  Billionaire socialist Tom Steyer--who wants taxpayers to pay off student loans and give free sex-change surgery to illegals, so is a perfect match for the party--was around 11%.

So the Partei [sic] needed to get some Dems to drop out.  So when Swalwell's accusers appeared, the Partei didn't have their fellators in the Mainstream Media spin the story into oblivion, but simply shrugged and allowed top Dems to admit they'd known for years that Swalwell "had a problem."

As a result the latest SurveyUSA poll (April 8–10): shows socialist Steyer at 21% and Steve Hilton
at 18%.  Mission accomplished!

Newly-elected female governor of Virginia signs bill joining the NPVIC

Ever hear of a thing called the NPVIC?

Chances are you haven't, and if so it's because a) the thing is a huge threat to our nation; and b) because the Mainstream Media has said almost nothing about it--because it hugely benefits the Democrat Partei [sic].

Here's what's up: Way back in 1789, when our Founders were struggling to create a viable nation, everyone was captivated by the novel notion that "the majority rules.'  The Founders loved the idea, but congress members from the smaller states realized that in a "pure Democracy" (based only on population) the high-population states--new York, Virginia and Pennsylvania--would always be able to control the presidency.

To adopt the new "Constitution" it had to be ratified by two-thirds of the 13 states.  So to get enough of the low-population states to ratify, the Founders hit on a brilliant compromise: the Electoral College, in which the high-population states got more electoral votes via their greater number of representatives in the House, but now all states got the votes of both their senators, which gave the smaller states fractionally more influence than if electing the president was based solely on the popular vote.     

SO...that compromise worked nicely for about 220 years.  Yes, there have been two elections where the system mandated by the Contitution resulted in the election of the man who lost the popular vote, but still...eight presidents have come from Virginia, while seven came from Ohio, five from New York and four from Massachusetts.  Those states account for over half of our presidents, so as the founders guessed, population is important.

But Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and New Hampshire have each produced one president, while tiny Vermont has produced two.  So the compromise seems to have worked pretty well, in that many of our presidents have come from less-populated states.

But for decades, Democrats have been grumbling about the electoral college system--the compromise that enabled our Constitution to be adopted.  But since it was mandated by the Consitution itself, they knew they'd never be able to get two-thirds of the states to ratify an amendment that would cause even more presidents to come from the high-population states.

Then finally, in 2006 a couple of cunning Democrats realized: "Constitution?  That outdated rag you MAGA morons call 'the supreme law of the land'?  It doesn't apply to us, so we've found a way to change it to anything we like."  And they claim they've found a way to utterly, totally nullify the Constitution's *mandate* for electing presidents, instead handing the office to the winner of the national popular vote--which the Founders explicitly rejected, to get enough small states to ratify the new Constitution!

It seems outrageous: How can the Democrats claim they have the power to utterly reverse a *fundamental principle, mandated by the Constitution,* without having to go thru the difficult process of amending it?

Enter the NPVIC--"National Popular Vote Interstate Compact."  The Dems cite Article 1, section 3, clause 9, which reads as follows:
>>No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State...">>

Democrats: "SEE, citizen?  It's right there!  It's such a huge power that the Founders put it in their precious (though outdated and useless) document!"

If you missed it, I understand: "Compact" is referred to only in the negative, implying that states can enter into "compacts" with other states, and that the only thing needed is the consent of congress.

Now you'd *think* that if the Constitution *unequivocally specifies* that our president is to be chosen by the electoral college, it would take a constitutional amendment to replace that with the winner of the popular vote.  But the cunning Dems claim that since the Constitution clearly recognizes "compacts" between the states, contingent only on "consent of congress," and never attempts to limit the *scope* of such compacts, a compact to elect the president by the winner of the national popular vote would be constitutional if approved by a one-vote majority in both chambers of congress.

Now: the Democrat shitheads have ruled the Virginia legislature for decades, and were salivating to join the compact.  But they knew the previous Repub governor would veto.  But now that the Dems in VA have elected the corrupt communist Abigail Spamberger [sic], on March 2nd the state legislature passed the bill and she immediately, eagerly signed it.  So VA has joined NPVIC.

Moron say: "Dat jus' Virginia.  Why yew so upset, bro?"

Because I pay attention.  The NPVIC laws passed by each corrupt Dem-ruled state say the compact will automatically go into effect when states with 270 total electoral votes have signed on.  With Spamburger's signing, states with a total of 222 EVs have joined the compact.  So they're 48 EVs away.

And Dems say they're on track to win in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

All those states are ruled by Democrats, so it's just a matter of time before the rulers are brave enough to pass the bill and the gov to sign it into law.

So if supporters can get just 48 more EVs, the "compact" says the U.S. president will be selected by the winner of the national popular vote.

For those keeping score at home, the five states listed above have a total of 61 electoral votes.

From a purely legal standpoint, this brazen scam violates a well-known provision of contract law that says if a contract specifically says the parties agree that neither will do [something], one party can't come in later and say "By interpreting the word 'is' in a certain way, clause 134 b (3) allows us to do exactly the thing we explicitly agreed was prohibited on page one."

And normally the Dem subterfuge would fail on that basis alone.  And in any case, the winner of the presidency has only lost the popular vote twice in our history, so it might be years before the NPVIC would be tested.  Problem is, historically the Supreme Court has rarely been willing to take cases that haven't yet caused damage, so might decline to rule on the constitutionality of the "compact" before an election where the winner of the electoral college vote lost the popular vote.

Unfortunately there's another, rarely used principle called "fait accompli," which holds that some things are to hard to unravel and change.  The court would invoke this to uphold, say, massive vote fraud stealing an election if the justices felt ordering the party that benefitted from the fraud to vacate the office and the victim to be installed.

For those who claim this could nevah happen: See "claims of massive fraud in 2020 election."  
 

NYC's communist Muzzlim mayor orders a "Plan" to...um...

Last year communists, socialists and Muslims in NYC elected the Muzz communist Zohran Mamdani as mayor.  He promptly ordered his lackeys to draft a Racial Equity Plan.  As you could have guessed, this was a 375-page monument to grievance politics and DEI that blames every gap in wealth, health, and achievement--on “systemic racism.” 

This is an absolute classic, right out of the Marxist playbook: "Dat guy over dere haz a big condo an' a zillion dollars!  Dat not FAIR!  Yeah, he a heart surgeon or somethin,' an' he gradulated [sic] frum highschool an' Hahvahd, while I dropped out of HS, so SEE?"

Oh you bet, sparky.  Now no one denies that people who have wealthy parents have a HUGE head start in life.  But for every child of wealth who goes on to do well, a huge number choose NOT to study hard and work, and end up in bad circumstances.  Moreover, many people who were NOT born to wealthy parents do well.  So even though wealth is a huge advantage, it isn't the sole determinant.

But don't bother trying to explain that to a Momdani voter--to whom all success is pre-determined by race, eh?

Democrat lies

One of the most common lies by Democrats to argue that unlimited open borders are guuud is "FAR more Americans are murdered each year by U.S. citizens than by 'undocumented Americans [the precious, lying term Dems use for illegal alien invaders].

You've always shrugged and accepted that brazen lie, because you had no way to counter it. And under the bribem and obozo regimes, the lying FBI did everything possible to hide the truth by bleating "We don't keep records on that."

Really??  The truth is the FBI has had those records all along, but bribem and obozo didn't want yew to know, so they quietly slipped word to the corrupt Dem head of that agency to NOT publish those.

So finally, under an honest president, they've published those stats.  See below:  

 

ALL governments have the power to control what stats they release.  But Republican presidents know if they try to conceal statistics, the Dem-fellating Mainstream Media will gleefully expose the coverup.  By contrast, Democrats know they can get away with literally ANYTHING  because the know the Democrat-fellating Mainstream Media will cover for 'em, so they simply refuse to release any statistics that would reveal how shitty their policies are...for Americans.   

But great for Democrats, eh?  Cuz as Dems see it, the ONLY thing that matters is power--winning presidential elections and control of both chambers of congress.  If Democrat policies like open borders, releasing thugs without bail, allowing sale of addictive drugs by minorities, pushing minors to get "sex-change surgery," allowing homeless to camp on sidewalks in downtown areas, allowing thugs like the Islamic state of Iran to control a waterway they do NOT own, to hold the world hostage, or allowing Iran to build an atomic bomb--if those policies hurt ordinary Americans, Democrats don't care.  "Fuck 'em." 

My Dem siblings and friends don't see it.  "We simply MUST do [fill in the blank] becuz dat beez duh compassonate thing to do!  Dere are only a few million po', oppressed refugees in the world, so duh compassionate thing iz dat we MUST let 'em all into the U.S., eh?  And of course once they're here we MUST give 'em food and homes and free medical.  And free college tuition.  And free sex-change surgeries, and boob jobs!  Cuz  all doze things iz, like, totally FREE, right?"

Starting to get it yet?

If you're a Democrat, probably not.  So...1: the number of people in the world who would LOVE to come to the U.S. is virtually infinite.  2:  All the things listed above that you Dems bleat are "free" are NOT free, but must be paid for by taxpayers.  And since the fed gummint always spends more than it takes in, those so-called "freebies" are paid for by borrowing money.  And for young Americans and Democrats, that must be paid back WITH INTEREST.

Starting to get it yet?

Nah, if you're a Democrat you still aren't.  You never will.  But 30 years from now most of your kids will.  Wish I could be around to watch that.

 

Leftist/Democrat judges *repeatedly* release rapists and killers if they're "undocumented"

 

Ohhhh, absolutely, comrade.  Dis beez guuud!  Cuz it keeps duh cost of maids an' lawn-care down!  An' so what if a few Democrat-ruled states (California) spend $9 billion a year giving free sex-change operations to illegals, eh?  It's a small price to pay fo' cheaper maids, lawn care an' drugs, right?  Win-win!  

If you vote Democrat, this is what you're voting for. 

In nature, what happens to animals that either can't learn, or refuse to?

Consider this: In nature, what happens to animals that are unable to learn from experiences and their surroundings--or refuse to?

If you said "Those animals are ki**ed and e*ten by predators," congratulations: you passed the first test.  [X-mods: Do your rules forbid say that happens to *animals*?]

Democrat: "Wait...WHUT?"  

Ahh, I hear my Democrat siblings bleating that's un-possible.  In that case, take a quick test:

• Do you believe the Islamic rulers of Iran were trying to build an atomic bomb?
• Do you believe leading Democrats are telling the truth when they bleat that they had NO IDEA that Dem congress-creep Eric Swalwell was a serial predator?
• Do you believe bribem and Mayorkas and Cackles were all telling the truth when they bleated (innumerable times) that "the border is totally secure" or "safer than it's ever been"?
• Do you believe math is raaacist?
• Do you believe Trump actually said people infected with the Chyna virus should "inject bleach?  
• Do you believe the claim of TOP Democrat congress-creeps that "the U.S. is losing the war with Iran...badly"?
• Do you believe it's "voter suppression" to require people who want to register to vote to have proof of U.S. citizenship, and to have photo ID?
• Do you believe there's ANY use for enriching uranium to 60% other than to build an atomic bomb?  
• Do you believe the bribem regime ordered the centers for Medicare and Medicaid to provide free sex-change operations for everyone--retirees and kids under 18?
• Do you believe the bribem regime never took bribes from China, disguised as "investments" in a Hunty bribem fund?
• Do you believe the bleats of all Dems and the Media that Joe bribem was "sharp as a tack"? 
• Do you believe Nancy Pelosi--who knew bribem was gonna lose badly--had the absolute right to delete him as the Dem nominee and substitute a moron who never won a single primary and didn't even put her name on a primary ballot?  (Cuz dat beez a fundamental principle of "democracy," eh?)
• Do you believe sex-change surgeries reduce the rate of suicides among tran knees?  Cuz dat beez whut duh Dems and Media claim.
• Can a government (fed or state) constantly (year after year) spend more than it takes in without eventual bad consequences?
• Do you believe leftist judges upheld an Obozo-era EPA RULE that allowed citizens to be fined for catching and storing rain falling on their own roof?  (Federal case, upheld by a corrupt leftist judge, in which a citizen of Washington state was fined for exactly that.)
• Do you believe state laws in half a dozen Democrat-ruled shitholes allow minor children to get taxpayer-funded sex-change surgery without parental consent?   
• Do you believe a government should force taxpayers to pay for sex-change surgeries for illegal aliens, or for inmates, or for illegal aliens?
• Do you believe parents shouldn't be responsible for their children, since "it takes a village to raise a child"?
• Do you know who said that? 
• Do you believe getting a blowjob from a 21-year-old subordinate is NOT "sex"?  (Bill Clinton made exactly that claim, under oath, when denying he'd every "had sex" with Monical Lewinsky.  The Media bleated dat "everyone lies about sex!"  But of course dat wuz years ago, so Democrats have ordered yew to ignore it!) 

I could do this all day.  If you haven't already figured it out, the Democrat party controls the Mainstream Media, which slavishly parrots anything the Democrat partei [sic] wants.  So the Media constantly bombards us with Dem "talking points" (i.e. total bullshit) around the clock.  So it's no surprise that half of Americans believe what they constantly see and read from the Dem-ruled Mainstream Media.  Duh.

The hoot (for me) is, I don't care.  I don't have any kids, so I've got no dog in this hunt.  If Democrats wanna throw away everything that made this nation great, it won't affect me one bit.

By contrast, it WILL affect your children.  But if you're a Democrat you're like, "Ouah policies beez faaaaabulous, an' will make duh U.S. prosperous again!  We demand that taxpayers pay fo' sex-change operations on minor kids!  We demand that 'undocumented Americans' be allowed to vote.  We demand that doze awful ICE agents be put in PRISON fo' enforcing some silly 'law' passed by some stupid congress decades ago!  Cuz pipo who enter duh U.S. illegally din' reeeeally break U.S. law!  Nope nope nope!  We Dems decree dey din' break no law, so yew are not allowed to deport deez po' pipo!  An' if anyone tries, we demand dey be charged an jailed!"

The Dem demands are mind-boggling: who would trash our free-market system for cheaper lawn care and similar trivia?  But Dems claim it's NOT for cheaper lawn care, but cuz it beez duh right thing to do.  Then you realize the Democrats' real goal in pushing for unlimited "immigration" is to win total control by winning all future elections.

As many have noted, if Democrats believed most illegal invaders would vote Republican, they would have slammed the border shut tight in days. 

At this point let me confess that I get a kick out of watching people reap the consequences of their stupidity.  It's a rare person who, when their demands result in disaster, admits "Wow, I made a terrible decision!"  And I say that as someone who's made LOTS of really bad decisions.

Now: could all the Democrat policies listed above actually be good for our nation?  Guess we'll have to watch it unfold, eh?  Cuz you will, cuz they haven't abandoned even one of 'em.

Dem congress-creeps have already introduced "resolutions" demanding Trump stop U.S. military operations in Iran--i.e. to surrender.  You might think that since the GOP has a majority in both chambers, such measures would never pass.  But the GOP majority is only about 4 votes, and there are dozens of "RINOs," so chances of such a "war powers resolution" passing both chambers of the shitty congress are high.

Democrats: "Dat wud be reeely faaabulous!  Cuz duh Islamic State of Iran beez reeeeally gud pipo!  See, ALL cultures are like, totally equal, right?  An' duh mullahs did NOT murder 40,000 of dere own citizens in the street over three days in January!  Oh sure, some cunning Republican sources claim dat happen, but it din't!  Cuz ouah faaabulous Media nevah reported it, right?  So dat mean it nevah happen!"

See how neatly that works?  Gullible Dems believe that if duh NY Times an' WaPo din' report somethin', it nevah happen.  But if you think for even a moment you'll realize there's no logic there: If the Mainstream doesn't wanna report some event, why would you think they'd report it, eh?  Do you think they're honest?  Unbiased? 

Democrats: "Cuz dey iz, like, totally unbiased an' honest!  Dey report duh troof!"

Hahahahahaha! 

Fucking meow.  No, they don't.  Never have, never will.  They only publish or broadcast what  their editors (all leftists) want you to see. 

So where does that leave us?

If, before the November elections, the price of gasoline drops to essentially what it was before the U.S. struck Iran, the Mainstream Media will print endless stories NOT on the fact that gas prices were now the same as before Feb 28, but on how much extra the average American family was forced to pay for gas because of Trump.

Seriously.  Just like the Media breathlessly reported on high egg prices (due to the industry having to kill millions of hens due to "avian flu"), but the Media never reports on the fact that the price of eggs has dropped back to normal levels.  So the average reader is left with "Trump bad."

Mission accomplished, eh? 

Democrat "logic"

Of course not a single Democrat will remember this.  Brutal, totally unprovoked murder of the innocent 23-year-old girl, by a career criminal in a Democrat-ruled shithole city.  Female Democrat mayor asked local media NOT to post the surveillance video the public transit agency recorded, cuz...um...reasons.

The murderer has now been ruled (by a Dem judge) "ineligible to stand trial" due to mental illness.  They legal system knew that before he murdered the girl, but didn't give a flying fuck, so they released him--again and again and again.

Democrats: "But dis do NOT mattah, cuz non-psychos kill WAY mo' innocent pipo den duh mentally ill, jus' like American citizens kill WAY mo' pipo den "undocumented Americans" (i.e. illegal aliens allowed into the U.S. by Democrat regimes), so shut up!"

Marvel at what passes for "logic" by Democrats: "It's useless to be upset about unprovoked murders of innocents by psychos, cuz non-psychos commit mo' murders!  SEE??"

By that logic we shouldn't try to prevent murders by one group if others murder more people.

This is their actual position.  Wow. 

Need a laugh? Watch as thieves who believe they're "entitled" to your stuff meet FO

As package delivery services like Amazon have gone exponential, it's triggered a horde of morons who follow the trucks around and steal the packages off your porch as soon as they're delivered.

Maybe it's just me, but this irritates me a LOT.  And after lots of people had their stuff repeatedly stolen, a few dozen decided to...um...turn the tables on the thieves.  And the results are absolutely hysterical!

What's even funnier is to watch how some of the thieves scream at the doorbell camera that they're gonna SUE the owner for luring 'em to steal an Amazon package.
