How much of the stock market's performance is due to AI?

I'm really skeptical of "Business Insider" because they seem to write articles to make stocks move the way they want.

Yeah, we're all totally shocked, right?

But sometimes...

Most college-educated people should have heard about a stock market strategy called "short sales," or just "shorting the market."  "Shorting" means you borrow shares, sell them at the current market price, and hope the stock drops, so when it's time to close the contract you can buy them back at a lower price to replace the shares you borrowed.  So it's a bet that the price of a stock will drop.

Business Insider says an analysis by a company called "S3 Partners" says "short" bets in the S&P 500 are the highest since the company started keeping track of 'em in 2010.  

They claim the value of "short" contracts is almost double what it was a year ago, and virtually the same as it was right before the mortgage meltdown/real estate bust of 2008.

Again, I'm very skeptical of Business Insider because I think many of their claims are designed to manipulate the market.  And "S3 Partners" is a firm whose entire business is selling data to investors.  So, self-serving story.  But even shills can be right sometimes, so here's their theory:

Every day the "newz" is full of stories about more huge investments in AI, and how "the U.S. is in a race with China that we can't afford to lose," eh?  With hype like that, investors have been pouring money into AI stocks, and those companies have been spending like mad--staggering sums.

SO...with the "skirmish" in Iran cutting world oil supplies, and analysts predicting the GOP will get clobbered in November, most people would expect the stock market would be tanking.  Instead it's been doing really well.  

BI claims 60% of the markets' performance is due to AI "and AI-adjacent companies."

If true (and it's likely pretty close), that could be a big problem, because AI has now run into several HUGE problems that threaten to end the party:  First, the big AI companies got user companies hooked with low initial pricing per use.  But because the developers are desperate for revenue, those low-price "hook" offers have ended.  

The result is that big users of AI have seen their monthly bills go from a few thousand dollars a month to a million or so.  So many using companies are sharply limiting use--cutting revenue for AI providers.

Second is that China is offering cheaper versions that are competitive with the latest U.S. AI offerings.  As you could predict, that drives tens of thousands of corporate AI users to the lower-cost Chinese version.

Third is oversupply here at home: Over 1,500 new "data centers" are in various stages of construction or planning in the U.S.  As those come on-line, developers and investors believe they'll be flush with customers and will make a fortune.

By contrast, skeptics believe that when supply exceeds demand, many of these centers will have to compete for customers--by lowering what they charge per token, eh?  

If the second case is true, what do ya think the result will be, eh?  Sure: revenue will be way less than what they assumed.  If that's true, companies that built these massive centers will default on the loans--mean lenders take a huge hit.  What does that do to the market? 

Competitors will buy surplus data centers for a fraction of what they cost to build--but that won't decrease supply.

Fourth is leftist "activists" pressuring corrupt local pols to cancel or re-negotiate contracts for things like water use.  They already signed the contract, but if you haven't noticed, corrupt leftist politicians are happy to tear up contracts if they don't like 'em.

What does that mean?  The new "deal" allowed by the pols will increase costs above what was assumed, making it even harder to make a profit.

So while AI software developers will continue to have significant revenue (though less than expected due to competition from Chyna), companies in the data-center business may find it impossible to stay in business.

SO...four likely "adverse effects," eh?  Even if only one or two of those turn out to be true, what effect do ya think this will have on the market?  And when? 

Huge systems have equally huge inertia, meaning something can be "fatally shot," but because of the huge inertia it takes months for the effects to be felt by the whole economy.  If the problems discussed above are accurate, the damage won't be felt right away--but will continue to have what the Brits call "knock-on effects" for a few years.  

Of course I could easily be wrong.  And again, I'm very skeptical of BI and "S3 Partners."

Another day in California, another 73-year-old stabbed to death

Ahh, California--and yet another brutal, unprovoked murder you will NEVER hear about on the evening news, or in a U.S. paper more than 80 miles from San Francisco:  

Last Monday, in the middle of the day, in lovely Santa Cruz, a 19-year-old crazy fatally stabbed a 73-year-old woman, Rachell Summers, stabbing her 11 times outside a mall, at mid-day.
  
Tyler Leibelt, 19, has been charged with murder.  He confessed, saying he "planned to kill someone" that day.  Didn't have anyone in mind.

He bought the knives used in the murder just minutes before attacking his victim.  Ran up behind the 73-year-old and stabbed her in the back, followed by ten other blows.

He then went to a nearby gas station and called 911 to confess, saying he would surrender to police.

Now, in California, as in New York City, murders of defenseless elderly people don't even raise eyebrows anymore.  What makes this one notable is what liberals call the killer's "law-enforcement involvement."  Means they knew he was a nutter who had previously said he wanted to kill LOTS of people.  

But in shithole states, the law just shrugs.  "Dat be perfekly fine, citizen.  You have a nice day now.  An' if yew decide to kill someone, please do it in a different county, eh?  Good fellow."
 
Yes, the killer told police he'd been "suffering from homicidal fantasies for awhile."  He said *he'd previously told cops about these fantasies but somehow he "kept getting let out of custody."* 

That last sentence reportedly comes from a charging document. 

Court documents also say that last November he told sheriff's deputies he wanted to "cause a mass casualty event."  He also allegedly wrote a goodbye letter expressing a desire to kill as many people as possible.

SO how many clear signs of "danger: crazy who wants to kill lots of people" warnings does it take before some suicidally-empathetic judge locks this guy up in a mental institution, eh?

I predict all the notes of this guy previously saying he wanted to kill "as many people as possible" will be conveniently buried, forgotten, by the horribly-misnamed "justice system," which hides its incompetence if it can.

And it almost always can.  Files disappear, eh?  Shit happens, citizen.  Sorry 'bout dat.

Tyler will be out in five years and will murder again.  Count on it.  Liberal judges, liberal juries, sympathetic black killer.  

"Expert witness" (liberal): "Yes, judge, as long as he takes his meds my expert opinion is that he'll be perfectly normal."  Of course that won't help the next grandmother he kills.

He may be crazy but he's cunning: Note that he picked an elderly woman to murder, because with two knives and an ambush attack from behind, there was no chance at all of him being overpowered.  Guy's a demon in a skin-suit.

Someone asked "How did we get Tim Walz?"

Someone did a minute of research and found the answer:  

 

Anyone have any counter-theory? 

Conservative parents: tell your kids you think the DSA has some great demands

If you haven't read the "platform" of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA), you probably should.  Soon.

The poster-board below just shows a fraction of what they demand: literally, eliminate the senate, and the Electoral College.  You think that last just means electing the prez by the winner of the national popular vote, which is a long-desired goal of today's Democrat party (search "NPVIC").  But later they explain that's NOT what they mean.  Instead they want to abolish presidential elections entirely, with the prez chosen by congress.

Oh, and they want congress to appoint Supreme Court judges, and pack the court.  "Medicare for all."  And of course "abolish ICE."  Free college for all--including illegal aliens.  Amnesty for all illegals.  Unlimited "chain migration."

They wanna abolish what most of us still think of as the Department of Defense, and abolish police.  (Initially just "de-fund," then abolish.)  Of course everyone gets released without posting bail.  End all investigations of alleged Medicare, Medicaid and welfare fraud.  Really, I don't have time to do justice to all their faaabulous points.

Now, those of you who know me may think I'm gonna advocate shooting these dumb sons of bitches, but I'm NOT.  Instead what we have here is a FABULOUS opportunity to educate your kids.  Seriously.  Here's how:

At dinner, tell your kids about the fabulous platform of the DSA, and how all the cool parents are voting DSA in November.  Now, your kids know you're conservatives, so you're definitely NOT cool.  So they're gonna be surprised when you say you're actually impressed with the DSA's demands. 

Now, after you've listed all the above demands, totally change the subject.

The kids will be baffled, wondering What the hell was the point of all THAT?  Don't say more.  Literally smile and say "And how was your day, dear?" 

If your kids are even remotely clever, one might ask "How does the DSA think they're gonna pay for all this?"

Your answer is all ready to go: "They say they'll just have the government borrow it from Chyna, like the government does now.  Plus they say we'll save almost a trillion dollars by eliminating the armed forces, which should pay for giving all our new American citizens homes, free food, free medical care and free college."

It may take your kids a few days to realize you're being facetious, but don't ever admit it.  Let 'em think you're lost your minds.  That's the whole point, eh?  

 

You'll have to practice this if you want it to work.  And obviously both parents have to be all-in on the game.

The next move is when one of your kids asks for money or to go shopping for clothes: "Oh that's so sweet, dear, but we gave your allowance (or clothes money, or college fund, etc) to the DSA so they could help win in November.  But they said not to worry: they promised to pay us back after they win in November, because they'll own all the banks.  So we'll buy you some clothes then.  Besides, even if they didn't, you can't object to sharing with poor refugees, right?

"And you may have to get better grades, because giving all the new Americans free college means there will be lots more...uh...'new American citizens' admitted, so until they expand there will only be a few thousand slots for whites at the universities you've said you were interested in.  Fortunately the DSA says all college will now be free, so at least you don't have to worry about paying for college, eh?"

With a bit of skill you can play this gag for years.  Can you imagine your kids bitching to their friends about how dumb their parents are, believing all the DSA horseshit?

See, Mainstream Media reporters will NEVER ask the "cool" DSA "How you gonna pay for dis?"  In fact, the Media won't say a critical word about the DSA, because Dems need the votes of DSA members to take control of both chambers of congress.  So your kids expect that.  What they don't expect is that you--their supposedly stupid conservative parents--could support the horseshit.  So they'll stop and examine what the communists are proposing.

Mission accomplished. 

Say, this sounds like a FAAABULOUS idea!

 

Drafting the Constitution

 

Okay, so the Founders may not have been brilliant ALL the time... 

Wanna see how the national debt is rising? Consider the price of a postage stamp

For those of you who aren't fluent with maff, so don't believe our $39 Trillion national debt is a problem, here's an example that may get it across to ya:

In 1929 a first-class postage stamp cost two cents.

Two weeks ago the price of the same stamp was raised to...do you even know?

82 cents.  So in 97 years it increased NOT just by merely a factor of ten or 20, but it's now 41 times more expensive than 97 years ago.  Here's a plot:

 

 1929           2¢
 1936           3¢
 1941           3¢
 1949           3¢
 1956           3¢
 1963           5¢
 1971           8¢
 1980          15¢
 1991           29¢
 2001           34¢
 2008           41¢
 2016           47¢
 2024           73¢
July 12, 2026       82¢

At the recent rate of increase, it's doubling every 12 years.  And you see the result above.

Turns out our national debt is doubling even faster--about every eight to ten years.  But the average American doesn't know that, and wouldn't believe it if he or she did.  The history of stamp prices makes it slightly more believable.

Even if we assume the slower ten-year doubling time, we're  already in a trap that's almost impossible to escape.  Already our government is paying over a TRILLION dollars every year just in interest on the debt--and that number will continue to rise every year.

And since the government already spends more than it takes in in taxes, tariffs and fees, we have to borrow even the interest we have to pay on past borrowings.

SO...to have even a sliver of hope, somehow we've got to get the corrupt, terminally useless congress to cut spending.  Of course they won't, because they get massive kickbacks ("campaign donations) from some of it.  And domestic free shit has so many supporters.  But we need to zero ALL foreign aid, and all sex-change operations, and drastically cut Medicaid.  

When big, leftist-run "foundations" complain that this is awful, invite those leftist foundations to step up and use some of their billions in stored wealth to fill the gap between what the  government will pay the states, and what Medicaid advocates demand.

Of course congress won't do any of those things, so the disaster becomes inevitable.  Set in concrete, due to the pols' lust to stay in power. 

Of course you don't believe that.  Only two percent of Democrats understand compound interest and exponential growth.  (If you don't believe that, try going to Wal-Mart and asking 20 radom people to explain those to ya.)  And even those who believe the maff (math) don't believe the conclusion of inevitability: "Only right-wing conspiracy theorists believe this is dangerous!  It's not, cuz something will intervene to prevent disaster."

And of course, depending on your definition of "disaster" the Dems may have a point: When we have to pay TWO trillion a year in interest instead of a mere ONE trillion, so are having to borrow an extra trillion a year just to pay the interest, Dems might not consider that a disaster.

And when the gummint has to offer interest rates of 8 or 10 percent to get people to loan money to the U.S, Democrat pols might not consider that a disaster.

And when, as a result of the above, the doubling time for the national debt falls from ten years to, say, five years, Democrat pols won't even notice, let alone consider it a disaster.

Tell me, Democrats: what interest rate, or amount paid in interest, do ya think is too high, eh?  I'd like a number.

Of course no Mainstream "reporter" will ask that.  And if one did, the answer would be "Dis all beez Trumpy's fault!!"

Wait...so it IS a problem--but only if yew kin blame Trump?  Nice!

African "migrant" is asked if he ever considers the girls he and his friends rape

A reporter interviewed an African migrant and asked "Do you ever think about the girls you rape?"  Migrant: "Like, she might scream?  Or we might get an STD?"

The real story here is NOT that millions of African and Muzz invaders think raping white girls is just fine.  Their own actions prove that to anyone with a functioning brain, beyond doubt.  

Instead the real eye-opener here is that western liberals think we can co-exist by inviting millions of these creatures to live in our nations.

With liberals that's due to a thing called "suicidal empathy."  But with politicians it's something worse: a willingness to destroy your own nation and brutalize your own people--to win and keep power.

Once upon a time, people were executed for that.  But now in much of Europe you'll be imprisoned if you even criticize either "migrants" or Muzz.

Of course you don't believe that.  And is that because you've actually researched it?  No, of course not.  You don't believe it because you don't keep up with these cases in the UK and Europe.  I do, in part because my parents lived in London for 16 years.

Remember what happens to animals who refuse to learn?  No, you don't.  In fact you've probably never even considered the question.  And even if you had, liberals claim "natural law" doesn't apply to humans, eh?  "Cuz we citizens of duh west iz reeel sophisticated!  Yep yep yep!  We don' need t'learn history cuz it don' apply to US.  Cuz we iz...say it wif me: sophisticated!"

Yee-haw. 

Did "officials" in Seattle public skoolz claim "Maff beez raaacis'"?

Five years ago I read that the Seattle public skool system had declared dat "Maff [math] beez RAAaaacist!"  Wanted to find out if they'd actually implemented that horseshit, and if so, how it was working out for 'em.

OOoohhh, "Page not found!"  So I tried another dozen search variations, with the same result.  Wow!  "Hope springs eternal," eh?  I was hoping the outrage from parents would have slapped the fuck out of whichever dumbshit came up with this bullshit.

(Of course it wasn't just one person, eh?  One person couldn't get this published on the Seattle Public Skoolz website without a LOT of pipo signing off on it!)  But with the page taken down, dere wuz no way to prove the moonbats who run all public skoolz in Democrat-ruled states (and also, surprisingly, in lots of conservative states!).

Oh wait:  Thanks to the internet, that page still exists, even though the Seattle Public Skool system took it down and clearly hopes you can't find it.  But I did, and it's below.  You should be able to click to enlarge it:

 

Yes, the website published all the above bullshit on their official taxpayer-funded website.  But let's not jump to the conclusion that the authors--and the folx who run the website--were/are racist, communist fucks.  Cuz just because dey posted  it doesn't mean dey believe it, right?   

Hmmm...wonder if the authors and the pipo who run the website got fired?  Nah, no one got fired.  

Moonbat: "Yew cain't know dat!"  Really?  Cuz if dey'd been fired dey wud have sued the skool system.  And you know that's true.  But no one did.  Q.E.D.  (If you're a young highschool student who doesn't know Latin, look it up.)

And we're just getting started.

 

Now follow me here:  "Liberation" is universally recognized as good.  No one argues against it.  So anything that "prevents liberation" would be...um...take your guess.

Sure: doesn't take a PhD to realize the opposite of good is bad, eh?  But then the author makes the "naked assertion" ("I sed it, so yew mus' accept it!):

"How does [sic] data-driven processes prevent liberation."

Aside from the grammatical error (dude, "grammar beez raaaacis!"), the obvious implication by the author is that "data-driven processes prevent liberation," and thus must be raaaacist, eh?

But how?  Is it racist to note that there are 100 cents in a dollar?  360 degrees in a circle?  That the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees?  Not getting "raaacist" out of those.  But apparently the author(s) is/are.

  

Ahhh, so the author asserts (implies that it must be taken as truth) that math is "manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist," eh?  The authors specifically mention "oppression" a dozen times.

Now, I get it: students who read carefully could see that being proficient in maff is good.  But that point is buried under layers of "Maff iz oppressive!"  Wonder how many student readers or raacist teachers came away believing "oppressive" instead of "It's useful to be proficient in math," eh?

Of course the authors (and apparently the anti-white racists who run the website of the Seattle skool system) thought it would be too white to say "Learning math is a good idea."  So they led with "Maff beez raaaacis!"  Wonder how many minority students got past that naked assertion, eh?

In any case, AI sez Seattle's public skool system nevah sed maff beez raaacist!  Cuz see, dey din' explicitly say dat.  Got it.  So all those quotes above--from the website of Seattle public skoolz--do NOT mean dey wuz claimin' "maff beez raaacis."

Wow, such a relief!

In MN, white woman fined $1,000 for calling a young black thief a nigger

July 24, 2026

In the shithole of Minnesotistan, Democrats have fined a white woman $1,000 and sentenced her to "complete community service" (duration carefully omitted by Democrat-fellating paper) for saying something Democrats didn't like. 

She was also sentenced to probation, and up to 90 days in jail if she broke the terms of that probation.

(You may have noticed that black felons on probation for violent crimes, caught with a gun when the conditions were "no gun possession," are NEVER prosecuted for "felon in possession.  Cuz...two sets of laws.)

Shiloh Hendrix was in a park, minding her own business, when a young black kid grabbed something from her bag and ran away.  Hendrix was understandably angry and called the kid a nigger.  Or as the communst Minneapolis Star Tribune put it, she "hurled" racial epithets.

To further support the verdict, the Star Trib writers and editors added "... on a playground."

Now just so we're clear here: every damn week some big nigger beats some white mother or girl senseless in a city park, and isn't even charged--*even when we have the video.*  And it's not for lack of evidence, but prosecutors in Dem cities don't wanna anger black thugs.

Of course you never hear a word about those cases, nor see any video.  In fact when a black thug beat an unarmed female store clerk to death with a hammer five months ago--with the entire attack captured on video, not a single network showed you a single frame.  Cuz..."local interest only."

But in Minnesotistan, mere speech by a white woman--offensive, yes, but mere speech-- resulted in a thousand-dollar fine.  Hmmm...

The Red Star (as Minneapolis citizens often call it, for its leftist slant on everything) even carefully avoided admitting whether the kid actually took anything, writing that he "allegedly reached into her diaper bag and took an item."

You'd think one of the first things to determine was whether the kid actually took anything to start things rolling, but apparently the Red Star doesn't care when they can play the "hate speech" card.

The city attorney played to the crowd, bleating “Ms. Hendrix fully admitted to her hateful and racist conduct, toward a child with a disability...and has shown no remorse.”

How was she supposed to have known the kid was autistic, eh sparky?  The piece of shit prosecutor knew she had no idea, but couldn't resist slyly getting that to the jury.

"In his closing argument, prosecutor Nicholas Shabel asked the jury to focus on Hendrix’s actions as well as her use of a racial slur."

What actions other than speech?  Which at one time was free.

The propaganda rag again: "Hendrix chased the boy after he took something from her bag..."

Wait...just two paragraphs above, you wrote that this was only "alleged."  So you knew it was a fact, but chose to lead with "alleged" to make the white defendant look worse.  SO typical.

And "Hendrix appeared angry...!  Wow, Democrats adding "anger" to the list of crimes they can charge "certain people" with.  "...and poised to become physically aggressive with the child."

Ahh, yet another new "crime" in Minnesota: "Poised to become physically aggressive."

Hendrix’s attorney claimed the government was prosecuting speech, but since the First Amendment still exists, the wokie city charged her with "disorderly conduct" instead.

Shortly after the incident, the Rochester branch of the NAACP set up a fundraiser to help the family, raising more than $330,000.

Wow, nice: 8-year-old black kid steals something from a white woman's bag, she yells at him and calls him a nigger--and he gets $330,000.

The race-bait business is really good in Minnesotistan--home of George Floyd.

In 2022 Chitcongo paid millions to keep six grocery stores open for blacks

In 2022 black activists in Chitcongo were complaining to the city's faaaabulous communist mayor that their neighborhoods had become "food deserts."  So the city signed an agreement to PAY a grocery company $13.5 million to keep six stores in these areas open until 2035. 

But just this week the company announced it was closing all six stores (and a seventh not part of the deal) this weekend.

This is so classic that one is warned to be skeptical.  So I asked AI, "Did chicago pay $13.5 million tax dollars to a private company to keep six grocery stores open til 2035?"

AI replied (kind of):  Yes, in 2022 the people running the city government of Chicago approved a deal to pay a company called Yellow Banana $13.5 million to "renovate and reopen" six "Save A Lot" grocery stores located in what wokies said were "under-served food deserts" on the city's south and west sides.

The deal was touted as a big "redevelopment agreement"--cuz who doesn't love redevelopment, eh?  To kinda hide where the money was coming from, it was camouflaged as "Tax Increment Financing."  The agreement specified that the company would have to keep "full-service grocery operations" open at those six locations through 2035.

In development projects, the contractor is usually paid "incrementally," also called "progress payments."  But in this deal, instead of paying the $13.5 million incrementally, as each store was renovated, the whole amount was reportedly paid up front.  If true that should have been a huge clue that the probability that the deal was legit was pretty low.  Or maybe the city was just incompetent--cuz with such a small contract that maybe the city didn't use its first team, eh?

In any case, to the surprise of no one with a functioning brain, the six stores are indeed slated to close as early as this weekend.

(Checks phone calendar:) "Phone say dis beez 2026.  An' o'course we all know maff beez raaacis, but I'm pretty sure 2026 isn't quite 2035.  In fact, deal was made just 4 years ago, for 13 years of "full-service grocery operations."  Hmmm...

SO...duh poli's had demselves a meetin' t' esplain to activists why, after the city paid millions to keep sto's open til 2035, dey wuz closin' this weekend--just 4 years after someone made dis faaabulous "deal" to keep duh sto's open til 2035.

"This is our tax dollars that funded this," one attendee said during the meeting.  Another said "They need to return our money back to us."

Here's Asiaha Butler, founder and CEO of a local activist group: "We need on every corridor, on every corner, a healthy food option."

Ahhh, "need."  "We need [X], so yew mus' gibs us dat.  See, citizen?  "We need X, and you provide it."  Who knew problems could be solved so easily, eh?

Dear Asiaha, try teachin' yo' homeboys not to steal from grocery sto's, an' that'll hep.  Not fast enough, cuz even if your homies stopped stealin' tomorrow, no prudent company will open a store in your hood for the next 20 years.  They don't trust black "yutes," and I can't blame 'em. 

So whadya think gon' happen now, eh?  Duh communist mayor of Chitcongo (Brandon Johnson) ain't gon' put up wif dis.  See, a few folks gon' claim duh sto's is closin' cuz Brandon Johnson made a dumb deal.  An' Brandon Johnson don' like pipo thinkin' he dumb.  Nope nope nope!  So he gots a idea:

He gon' have duh city run deez six grocery sto's.  He hasn't announced that yet, but it's coming.   
 
Let's see here: the company will settle the breach of contract lawsuit by simply giving all six stores to the city (since no one will buy 'em now).  Then take $6 million from duh cops, an' another six from Parks, gives us $2 million per store on "renovation."  Den we gets duh unions to staff duh sto's, maybe $25 an hour.  Won't be payin' no property taxes cuz city-owned.  And while we'll collect state and county sales taxes (8% total), we'll just "forget" to send 'em in.  Cuz no one at either the state or county would dare to complain and possibly end up sinking the only six grocery stores in dis "food desert," eh?   It'll be a sure-fire success!

Dozens of new reports of massive financial fraud

You need to read this recap by Ace about all the new fraud that's being revealed.

Of course you won't, cuz..."I gots t'watch 'Dancing wif duh Starz!'"  Or dat dreamy Rachel Madcow!

So once again let's review: In nature, what ALWAYS happens to animals that refuse to learn?

Either they get eaten, or merely starve to death.

Typical American voter: "I'm smaahht!  I don't kere if dere's a trillion dollars of fraud a year in gummint programs cuz it din' cost ME nuffin'!  Duh gummint  borrowed duh money, which mean it free, deplorable!"

SO...in reading the story, it seems that in one sense the dam is starting to break: thanks to Trump and a handful of whistleblowers, more and more proven cases of brazen fraud are coming to light.

Unfortunately, if history is any guide no one will be charged, tried, convicted and executed for ANY of it.  Reason: corrupt leftist/Dem judges and corrupt U.S. Attorneys from blue states conveniently "losing" folders of evidence.

Typical Democrat: "Dat jus' stupid right-wing conspiracy stories!  Dere ain't no such thing as corrupt judges or U.S. Attorneys!"

You bet, cupcake.  So let's see if anyone in the U.S. is charged, eh?  Oh the Left may well charge people who have fled to their home countries where they can't be found and extradited, but very few fraudsters in the U.S. will be tried--and then only the small ones.  Most won't even be charged, despite overwhelming evidence.

Reason is that it would likely expose kickbacks from grant recipients to the Democrat partei.  Totally legal, of course--just regular campaign contributions, eh?

The policy of virtually every state has been to give checks to fraudsters, and then if anyone showed there billing was fraudulent, to make noise about "clawing back" the fraudulently-obtained money--which has long-since been sent overseas--meaning you'll never get it back.  But "we've filed suit to get tens of millions back" was a great PR cover story.

Democrat-ruled states not only didn't care, but had procedures that made fraud easy.  And it's just a coincidence that the fraudsters donated to the Dem party.  Dem-ruled states would cut checks to fraudsters for years, even when corporate records on file with the state absurdly claimed 40 "daycare centers" were operating in a single strip mall.  No one at the state level ever thought to check.  

And when people like Nick Shirley would knock on the door of any of those alleged businesses (or often apartments) and ask, no one had ever heard of a daycare center there.

While there's certainly also some fraud in conservative states, most states run by Republican governors and legislators were more tightly run, probably because the GOP pols weren't getting the kickbacks.

Example:  Hahvahd obviously isn't a state, but the same principles apply.  The founder of a grandly-named "Center" at Hahvahd, Lee Nadler, collected $275 million in NIH grants while abandoning or repurposing research work he'd said his group promised to do, to obtain the grant money.

Most "ordinary" Americans would consider $275 million quite a pot of money.

Hahvahd's attorneys tried to get the charges dismissed by claiming the court should "be skeptical" that the NIH "somehow missed that two-thirds of the work contemplated was never done."  (Sounds like Hahvahd's attorneys don't realize they just admitted to the fraud), but putting the blame on the NIH.

And of course the problem was that NIH doesn't care.  Never has.  Their power comes from their ability to give taxpayer money to anyone they like, and to refuse to fund whatever they don't like.

That's real power, sparky.

The lawsuit claims Lee Nadler and Hahvahd repeatedly submitted reports falsely claiming progress was being made, in compliance with the terms of the NIH grant--but that was total horseshit.

The comments (271 so far) are a hoot:

  * A corrupt leftist judge will order all the withheld payments to be released back to the fraud states in a day or two. 

  * d'ya think this might explain why half of the highskool grads in Chitcongo are illiterate?

  * I suspect the school systems responsible for most of this fraud are the same ones that do such a miserable job of educating children.  So hey, no harm no foul.

  * When both chambers of congress are in session, nuke it from orbit.  It's the only way to end this shit.

  * "Since 2019, school districts across 24 states and Puerto Rico have lost $225 million to fraud confirmed by the U.S. Department of Education inspector general's semiannual report to Congress. No more than $67 million has been recovered."
    Fake news. The losses are easily 10x that.

  * Notice that the same people who bleat that "millions are dying because the government isn't spending enough on social welfare programs" are the same ones who smirk and shrug when they hear reports of people stealing billions from these same welfare programs.

  * One of the Somali scams in MN was for a Somali man married to multiple women to have the wives setup "daycare" businesses where wife-A would be paid to provide daycare to the kids of wife-B and vice-versa...all in his house of course. 
   MN Democrat officials: "Dat all perfekly legal, deplorable!"

  * George W. Bush deserves part of the blame, cuz his administration gave block grants to groups like "Upper Midwest Lutherans," who immediately started sponsoring Somalis for immigration.

  * The entire system is just taxpayer money being passed from one corrupt Democrat group to another, with each one taking ten percent for "administrative services."

  * Put the names of all fraudsters on a public list, and warn that any organization that's affiliated with any of them, in any way, will be barred from getting any taxpayer money for ANY reason.

 * California is probably the larges source of fraud, and Minnesota is second, but there are 24 other Democrat-ruled states, and haven't been investigated.

 * Democrat-ruled states will refuse to cooperate with investigators because this is one of the best remaining fundraising ops they have.

 * Being a college professor doesn't make someone a communist--but it sure as hell attracts communists, who always get hired by leftist faculty.

 * The Media have already written the sob stories: "There is no fraud, but cutting grants will kill even more children than cuts to USAID!"

 * "Where my EBT card at?"

 * Treasury Sec. Bessent showed that the largest funding source of the Muzz terror group Al Shabaab was from money fraudulently obtained from the state of Minnesota. 

 * Democrats like Van Jones, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and others are trying to figure how they can get more votes by pandering to DSA voters.  Meanwhile the DSA is laughing all the way to the bank, since even if their candidates lose, the DSA wins by forcing the Dem party to embrace more leftist policies.

 * Basic truths about taxes:
    1. Sooner or later, pols will try to tax everything except themselves;
    2. Once a tax has been passed, the rate will always increase *just slowly enough that the sheep won't come after the pols with pitchforks. 
    Ahh, you're skeptical?  The federal income tax started at one percent of incomes over about half a million bucks in today's dollars.

 * How communists create a massive pool of resentful, angry young Americans: "My professors promised me that my PhD in Womens' Studies would guarantee me a six-figure income!  But the only job I've been able to get is at Starbucks!  Can't get hired for the salary my profs promised I was worth!  So I'm voting for the DSA.

 * One of the biggest lies we were told as kids was 
“Crime Does Not Pay.”  Bullshit, it pays great. Especially if you're in congress or a Dem in a Dem-controlled state. 

 * Professors, teachers, lawyers and judges are products of a feedback loop that started in the 1950's, with each generation producing more liberal graduates.
   Each of these professions has become more leftist, until now conservatives are virtually excluded from all four except for the Supreme Court, where a conservative president can at least nominate a conservative.  But even then senate Democrats can refuse to confirm, as they did in 1987 with judge Robert Bork, whose nomination  was rejected by the senate 58-42. 
    52 Democrats and six Republicans voted against Bork.  Only two Democrats voted to confirm him.  Party-line discipline worked almost perfectly.


 

CBS--like all the Media--hates cops and LOooves anyone who tries to kill one.

If you don't believe that headline, I understand.  You believe the Mainstream Media tells ya the truth. 

I get it.  Really.  That's because you've checked their bullshit claims and found 'em to be totally true, right?

Of course you haven't.  You believe 'em because all the networks and the major newspapers and wire services agree!  And if something was a lie, at least SOME of those faaabulously honest pipo would broadcast stories that told some other version, eh?  But because dey all agree, always, their stories mus' be true, right?

See any logical flaws in that "reasoning"?

Nah, you don't.  You don't do any "research:"  If the Mainstream Media says something, that's the end of the discussion, eh? 

So let's see how the leftist, Democrat-fellating cesspool of lies CBS "reports" the story of a man in the leftist-run shithole of Madison, Wisconsin, with 40 previous arrests, armed with a big knife, who stabbed an officer after he was stopped by cops for stealing:

Man shot and killed by police in Madison, Wisconsin, sparking protests
  --CBS, July 23, 2026 

A police officer in Madison shot and killed a man who had injured him with a knife while resisting arrest, the city's police chief said Wednesday.

Ahh, "injured him with a knife," says CBS.  Like, maybe, dropped it on the officer's foot?  Actually the perp stabbed the officer.  But reporting that wouldn't help The Narrative, which for CBS is that cops are bad, minorities are never at fault for anything.

Police didn't identify the man who was killed, but mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway...identified him as Corey Ruiz.

Satya is a leftist lesbian, and sets the agenda for everything that leftist city does.  Like all leftist women, she embraces "suicidal empathy."

Police said officers were responding to calls that someone was stealing bicycles.  Responding officers said the man fled on a bicycle.

Officers encountered him again and the man "either fell or was pulled off the bicycle," and "a struggle ensued." between the man and officers in the intersection.

During the struggle, the man pulled out a big knife and stabbed one officer.  Another officer then tried unsuccessfully to use a Taser.  After the officer who'd been stabbed (or "injured by the knife," as CBS puts it) saw the taser didn't work, the "injured officer" (CBS still refuses to say "stabbed") shot the perp.

Lesbian mayor Rhodes-Conway said she planned to hold a "community listening session" soon, adding that she was "angered" by the shooting.  Not by the stabbing, but by the fact that the officer who was "injured by the knife" (NOT "stabbed by the perp") shot the bastard.

The dead man's family has hired attorney Ben Crump--because money.

But CBS's anti-cop Narrative isn't finished yet:

In 2015 [eleven damn years ago, but CBS feels it's totally relevant to the story, eh?] a White police officer shot and killed Tony Robinson, who was biracial, a shooting that spurred large protests.

Note CBS has no problem at all using the word "shot," but refuses to say "stabbed."  Cuz...Narrative. 

The district attorney determined the officer was justified, but the wokie Democrat pols run Madison gave Robinson's family $3.35 million rather than risk a trial.  Dat cuz Dems in Madison eagerly embrace the notion of white guilt.  Liberal Democrats are absolutely sure minorities never stab or rob or rape.  Nope nope nope. 

So here's how CBS wraps up this story of police shooting a po' black man who was only armed wif a small knife:

"Another Black man is dead on a Madison street, and our community watched him die before we even knew his name," said Brandi Grayson, the head of a Black community advocacy group. "That is the cruelty of state violence."

Ahh, so Brandi wails about "violence" when a cop shoots a perp who just stabbed him, after seeing that the attempt to disarm him with a taser didn't work.  But the only violence CBS wants to headline is the cop preventing the perp from stabbing him again.

Next story you can expect from Madison, which you'll never hear about in the Mainstream Media: "Mayor orders cops not to respond to calls of people stealing."  "Appropriating* the property of white supremacists is a totally reasonable form of reparations for past oppression.  So to ensure the safety of everyone, I have ordered our officers not to respond to any calls about property theft by disadvantaged, oppressed members of our city's non-white community.
   Property can be easily replaced, but precious lives can't.  We must all support reparations."

You don't hate the Democrat-fellating Mainstream Media nearly enough.

The clever team that skewered Karen Bass just took on Newsom and Becerra

In California the corrupt Democrat nominee for governor, Xavier Becerra, has opened up a huge lead over Republican Steve Hilton, and since Cali has far more Dem voters than sane ones, that race looks over.  But that hasn't stopped the creative video teams that did the great vids for Spencer Pratt from giving Becerra the same treatment they gave the corrupt Democrat mayor of LA, Karen Bass.  

Here's their latest--and it's a HOOT!   One of the best lines is at 1:20, when AI-Becerra asks his mentors, Newsom and Cackles, "Well, whaddya think?" about a speech he just finished.  AI-Newsom replies, "That was the worst thing I've seen since..." before trailing off.  Camera pans to Cackles, who just smiles.

 

For Americans who don't pay attention:  Newsom is notoriously thin-skinned, and when a couple of video whiz-kids used AI to skewer him, he got his lackeys in the totally Democrat-ruled legislature to pass two state laws (AB 2839 and AB 2655) to ban the use of AI--which Newscum cunningly called "restricting fakes."  Those laws were blocked by federal judges on First Amendment grounds.  

But don't worry, rat-bastard Democrat pols, there are lots of other ways to make it essentially impossible for your opponents to us AI to make you look like the dictators you are.

The four horses of the Apocalypse. Wait...who...?

 

More murders of American citizens you'll never hear about from the Media

I've posted many pieces about heinous murders of Americans by illegals that you'll never hear about from the Lying, Democrat-party-fellating Mainstream Media--because hearing how MANY aliens murder Americans could make Americans remember which party opened our borders and let millions of foreigners in.

The murderer in the story below appears to be a recent U.S. citizen, but I'm skeptical, since he said he "hates America."

30-year-old Tsegaab Binessu is from Ethiopia.  He was reportedly upset with the managers of his apartment complex in the shithole of St Paul, MN, so he decided to murder three people.

Investigators found 21 shell casings at the murder scene.  

This was NOT a drive-by, but one man shooting 21 times at a range of six feet or so. 

As he was being arrested Binessu reportedly said he "hated the American system" and was mad that the government hadn't yet allowed his family to come to the U.S. from Ethiopia.

He also claimed--of course--that he was being "treated unfairly because he is black and an immigrant," according to court documents.

Since the DA of St. Paul is a leftist Democrat, Binessu has only been charged with second-degree murder, because he's only accused of killing three people.  And he was angry, so that will let the DA argue that duh po' man can't be charged wif' first-degree.

Now: listen carefully over the next few days and see how many of the alphabet nets and the leftist/Dem "newzpapers" tell ya about this.



Another example:  In an Atlanta suburb, Ola Olukitun Adon Abel is charged with murdering two women completely at random--as in, no argument or interaction at all, and he didn't know 'em.  

Abel is Nigerian but was a citizen of the UK before becoming a U.S. citizen during bribem's term.  But he had a lengthy rap sheet before becoming a U.S. citizen, so the question is, how the hell did bribem's naturalization background checkers miss his priors?

My bet is bribem's incompetent lackeys didn't ask the UK or look for convictions or charges here.  Cuz for Democrats it's all about making foreigners U.S. citizens on a mass scale. 

DHS says he was convicted in January 2, 2025 for felony assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer in San Diego County, California.  Then in June of last year he was sentenced to probation for four counts of misdemeanor sexual battery in Savannah, Georgia.

He should have been "denaturalized" and deported to Nigeria.  But because leftist judges don't let that happen, he was free to murder two innocent American women. 



So...did you hear about these two murders?  Unless you lived within 100 miles of Atlanta, of course you didn't.  And that's not an accident.

Who ARE these demons?

The crazies below are all Democrats.  The pics are NOT Halloween costumes.  So if you're sane you can understand why Democrat rule is disaster.

 

If you pay attention and don't get all your propaganda from the Lying Mainstream Media, you know who most of these demons are.  Conversely, if you DO get all your info from the LMSM you may know just two.

Pyrsyn says it will refuse to "repopulate" in Trump's America

 

On behalf of all thoughtful Americans:  Thank you! 

Whut dis??

Americans have astonishingly short memories for things outside their immediate reach.  That's totally understandable: most people are too busy trying to raise a family and put food on the table to spend any time keeping track of anything not immediately needed.

Example: in 2020, even as con-men like Fauci were screaming dat duh Chyna virus was gon' kill ebrywun, Trump was holding scores of rallies with 50,000 people or more.  By sharp contrast, bribem spent most of his time at home, hiding in his basement.  

His campaign strategists tried holding rallies open to the public, but most attracted only a thousand or so supporters.  So they changed strategies, using the threat of Covid to limit "rallies" to members of the press.  So they weren't campaign rallies in the normal sense, but certainly "rallies" after a fashion.  

The pic below is one such "rally."  Only open to the press, who sat inside white circles with center-to-center distances of about ten feet.  This is NOT an AI fake, but a real pic.

 

Despite scores of huge rallies for Trump, compared to just a handful of small rallies for bribem, the Democrats and the media claim bribem got millions more votes than even the magic Obozo.  And the Media claims Obozo was the most faaabulous prezzy EVAH.  

Yep, bribem was officially reported to have gotten 81.3 million votes, a staggering 23% more than the faaaabulous first black president's 65.9 million in 2012.

Now it's true that the U.S. had more registered voters in 2020 than in 2012--just under ten percent more, which is consistent with the roughly one percent per year increase in the U.S. population.  So if we assume the same degree of enthusiasm for bribem as for Obozo (which seems way unreasonable), bribem would have received 10% more votes than Obozo, or a total of about 71 million.  

But is that assumption plausible?  Bribem was old and a career politician, no appeal to black voters, yet was officially reported to have received over 23% more votes than Obozo.  Does that seem plausible?

Certainly the Media spent all four years of Trump's first term demonizing him, claiming he "colluded with Putin to steal the 2016 election from ouah sainted Hilliary!" and that he suggested either injecting or drinking bleach to kill the Chyna virus. 

News from the Department of Utter Bullshit

Statement from Democrat N.J. gov. Mikie Sherrill (rearranged to un-bury the crucial, carefully buried points in her written statement): 

“Last week I learned that a software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated they were *NOT U.S. citizens.* 

This happened between June 2023 and June 2024.  (This was almost three years before I took office, so I am not blame at ALL.)

Way back in 1993 congress was concerned that lots of people who would have voted Democrat weren't getting registered to vote, because that required too much effort or was too hard for 'em to figure out.  
   Democrats realized they could get millions more votes if they could get likely Dem voters registered without having to do anything.  So in 1993 a fabulous Democrat-controlled congress passed a brilliant law nicknamed "Motor Voter," which provided that everyone who applied for a driver's license would automatically be registered to vote! 
   It was perfect, because it didn't require ANY effort by stupid...um "overworked" people who we expect vote Democrat.

Stupid Rethuglicans--who always wanna suppress duh vote of minorities and migrants--whined that non-U.S. citizens who got driver's licenses would also be registered to vote.  We Dems didn't see a problem with this, but the Rethugs insisted that the Constitution said only U.S. citizens could vote in federal elections.  
   We'd never seen that, but someone checked and apparently there's some provision like that.  So Dems amended the bill to require DMV employees to ASK applicants if they were U.S. citizens, and if they weren't, the employee would check a box that said don't register this person.
   Rethuglicans pointed out that since states didn't require proof of citizenship from people applying for licenses, nothing prevented applicants from falsely claiming they were citizens.  But ouah Dems in congress just ignored that, cuz dey knew non-citizens would never break U.S. law.

When Motor Voter was rammed through by the Democrats in May, 1993, "Slick Willy" Clinton was president, and both chambers of congress [spit] had HUGE Democrat majorities:  House was 258 to 176 Democrat, while the senate was 57 to 43 Democrat.  Whee!  Dems got anything they wanted.  

So Motor Voter became the law of the land--which is amusing because NOW Democrats insist that states can conduct their own elections and voter registration any damn way they want, with NO interference from the federal government.  Yet when the Dems ran every branch of govt they passed a LAW ORDERING the states to register voters in a way Democrats wanted, to get more Dem votes.  

Amazing how easily the Democrats reverse previous DEMANDS when the new position will win more Democrat votes, eh?

SO: the first problem with Motor Voter was that Democrat DMV employees stopped asking applicants if they were American citizens.  We discovered that in California after thousands of registered voters who received summonses for jury duty returned the postcard after checking the box saying "I decline because I'm not an American citizen."  

But if they weren't U.S. citizens, how did they end up registered to vote, eh?

If you think DMV workers just "forgot" to ask applicants if they were U.S. citizens, you're too naive to breathe.  It was planned.

In New Jersey the Dems have a different excuse: There (as in most states today) applicants work thru their own application on an iPad or similar.  To complete the application the applicant must check either Yes or No when asked "Are you a U.S. citizen?"  But in totally Democrat-ruled New Jersey the governor wrote that "due to an error in the computer program," applicants who checked the box saying they were NOT American citizens were registered to vote anyway.

I started writing computer programs 60 years ago.  In programs every response to a question is typically followed by "If response=[yes] then...," with a similar line for "No." It would be extremely unlikely that both responses would give the same result by accident, because two consecutive lines of code would read "If response=[yes], call "Register to vote," followed by "If response=[no], call "Register to vote."  

No programmer could miss that.  It wasn't an accident. 

Also, the 6,000 non-citizens were registered between 2023 and 2024, but we're just now hearing about it.  So when was this alleged "programming error" discovered?

Turns out the error was discovered in 2024 under the governor of NJ before Sherill, a Democrat POS named Phil Murphy, who appears to have put out the word that no agency was to report the "programming error."  Cuz that would have put the lie to the Democrats' claim dat "dis NEVAH happens!"

New Jersey is one of 31 states that have refused to provide full, unredacted voter registration lists to the Department of Justice for the Civil Rights Division's ongoing review of U.S. voter rolls.

And just so we're clear: non-citizen voting is the smaller opportunity for election fraud.  The FAR larger opportunity is because Dem-ruled states mail ballots to people who died years ago, because the state doesn't bother trying to remove dead voters from the rolls.   Cuz that lets Dem fraudsters steal the ballots and vote Dem for the dead.  They know corrupt Dem poll workers will rule that an illegible scrawl for a "signature" matches one on file, if the state even bothers to check.

Covid is gone, so we no longer need to mail ballots to every voter.  Mail-in ballots should only be allowed for military, the hospitalized, mobility-impaired and people who will be out of the country on election day.  And require photo-ID.  

Wait, aren't both those provisions in the SAVE act that the corrupt senate refuses to pass?  Why yes, they are.

RINO Lisa Murkowski wails that forcing Alaska to do in-person voting is "voter suppression."  No.  Every outlying village can appoint a "poll worker" to check ID and keep logs, then turn the tally in by phone, email and snail-mail.  All three, for redundancy.  There's no legitimate reason why Alaska should need total mail-in voting.

Murkowski objects because she's a RINO--a Democrat posing as a Republican.  Her objection is specious.  But Alaska is lost anyway, because their corrupt legislature has approved a ghastly thing called "ranked-choice voting," which makes fraud inevitable.  Oh well, End Times anyway, so what difference does a few years make?
