A few evening matters
Last Friday, Josh Christenson at the New York Post reported on a memo showing the State Department strategizing in response to reporting by me and the Washington Examiner’s Gabe Kaminsky. Later, Gabe tweeted that a Biden administration official briefed congressional staff that I wasn’t to be trusted because of “unsavory” behavior in younger years in Russia. That second news turned out not as bad as it sounded, but it made me think. Racket readers know I’ve dealt with kerfuffles, from an IRS visit to a threatening member of congress, and there’ve been other things left unmentioned. I wouldn’t call any of it serious, but most everyone I know in media is dealing with something now.
Six weeks before the lancing of the boil that is the Trump-Harris election, officialdom has never been antsier. There’s desperation up there and the more bureaucratically thuggish tactics employed by agencies like GEC have not scratched their itch of uncertainty. Arbitrary removals of content aren’t cutting it. New overreaches are coming, but what? Our goons aren’t Russian enough to smash people with hammers, but as the earlier story today shows, they aren’t sane either. I’m not intimidated, but the days of smooth sailing might be over.
The Brits don't have a justice system anymore.
At the sentencing hearings in Sheffield Crown Court last week, the younger of the two victims delivered an impact statement from the witness box, addressing the defendants.
“You ruined my life but I won’t let you ruin my future,” the woman, who can’t be named for legal reasons, said. “I’m a fighter and a survivor. I’m thriving and fighting. You can’t and won’t ever take anything from me again. 22 years ago, you first started grooming me, and 10 years ago I started my justice fight. You stole my childhood, now I’m taking your freedom, I am your karma,” she concluded.
However, GB News discovered that the speech was heavily censored by the judge, with multiple sections erased due to restrictions they imposed. “I’d like to request that after sentencing and upon Rudy and Showabe’s release, that they should be deported back to Pakistan as this is where they originated from and came here to exploit children,” the original uncensored conclusion of the statement read.
“Rudy” is Mohammed Amar, who was convicted of two counts of indecent assault, and sentenced to 14 years. “Showabe” is Mohammed Siyab, who was convicted of two counts of rape, one count of trafficking, and one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and sentenced to 25 years in jail. Siyab’s English language skills were so poor that despite living in the UK for decades, he required an Urdu interpreter in court.
Bold mine. Yeah, something forbid the rape victim say something that might upset the rapist.
Most of our Professional Journalists are so far in the tank for the left that they have to have oxygen piped in. They truly are Democrat operatives with bylines, as Insty once said.

Two things this morning
First, these bastards are flatly on the enemy side, and should be treated as such.
Instead, the chickenshits running the college wouldn't even call the cops in to get this under control.
Second, the name Neil Ferguson ring a bell? He's the highly-credentialed asshat who helped screw the world when the Wuhan virus started around, also the bastard found having his married girlfriend show up to screw while he was insisting we'd all die unless we stayed locked in our homes.
And yet while Ferguson’s hypocrisy is important, especially for what it reveals about the arrogance of the new expert class, it is really his promotion of fear that he should be challenged on. It increasingly looks like his models were iffy, to say the least. According to the models, unlocked-down Sweden should have had 40,000 deaths by now – in fact it has had around 2,850. This is a catastrophic level of error. That seemingly unreliable or worst-case models have been used to wreck economies and institutionalise an authoritarian era so grave that one cannot leave one’s own house without good reason is a matter of the utmost public interest.
And Ferguson has form when it comes to the worst-case ideology that is so obsessed with being risk-averse that it causes whole new problems of its own. In 2005 he said up to 200million people could die from bird flu – the final global death toll between the years 2003 and 2009 was 292. In 2009, the UK government based its ‘reasonable worst-case scenario’ for the impact of swine flu in Britain on Ferguson’s models, saying around 65,000 people could die. In the end just 457 people died. In 2001 Imperial modelling on foot-and-mouth disease shaped government policy, which was to cull six million sheep, cattle and pigs. Later, an expert in veterinary epidemiology said that modelling was ‘seriously flawed’.
Over and over he's been wrong, and the Brit government, and others, are still employing this asshat. Because a fellow 'Elite' cannot be dumped just for being catastrophically wrong, it seems.
Especially when his being wrong gives them cause to control other people.

The coup against Biden was bad enough, now these asshats allowed his wife
to even BE AT, let alone take over a cabinet meeting?
Which brings back that rather serious question of "Who the hell is running the Oval Office?"
This is one of those "You know damn well if Trump had felt bad and let his wife take over a meeting, the left would be mass-crapping themselves in outrage, and they'd be right to. "But it's DIFFERENT when WE do it!"

And one more piece of crap from the Lords of Covid: "Make sure those peasants stay locked in,
and if you need me I'll be at the orgy."
New York City’s former COVID czar was caught on a hidden camera boasting about having drug-fueled sex parties mid-pandemic — and admitting New Yorkers would have been “pissed” if they had found out at the time.
Dr. Jay Varma — who served as senior health adviser to then-Mayor Bill de Blasio and was tasked with running the Big Apple’s pandemic response — made the confession in secretly recorded conversations with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.”
“I had to be kind of sneaky about it … because I was running the entire COVID response in the city,” Varma was filmed telling the unidentified woman on Aug. 1 in what appears to be a restaurant.
His defense? "I was taken out of context!", etc. And this gem:
“The only way I could do this job for the city was if I had some way to blow off steam every now and then,” he said, according to the video.
I'm sure it's a great comfort to all the people whose lives you trashed that you were able to blow off steam.
Our 'Elites' are trash.

Under the heading of 'Holy Crap!', we have this ship
The Ruby, a Malta-flagged Russian-linked cargo ship, currently floats off Norway's northeast coast, casting a long shadow over the region's security and environmental landscape. Laden with a staggering 20,000 tons of ammonium nitrate—a substance infamous for its role in catastrophic explosions—the ship represents an alarming threat due to its proximity to key military and civilian installations. The Ruby has been broadcasting "not under command" on its Automatic Identification System (AIS), meaning that it is effectively adrift and uncontrollable. Russia has officially claimed to have lost control of the vessel, further heightening tensions.
A Ship with a Dangerous Cargo
Ammonium nitrate, the Ruby's cargo, is widely used in agriculture as a fertilizer and in industry as an ingredient for explosives. Under stable conditions, the chemical is relatively safe. However, when subjected to extreme heat, shock, or contamination, it becomes highly volatile. The scale of the risk cannot be understated: 20,000 tons is more than seven times the quantity of ammonium nitrate that detonated in the tragic Beirut explosion of 2020, an event that left large portions of the Lebanese capital in ruins. Experts have noted that a similar explosion from the Ruby could cause devastation comparable to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, capable of flattening vast areas and causing widespread loss of life.
Long story at the link.
Over here is an article on it, which includes this video of what 2750 tons of AN did in Beirut.

I wouldn't have called Harris a monster; lying, dishonest, uncaring hack politician,
yes. But he seems to be right.
She says "I and my Veep candidate own guns, so obviously we won't confiscate yours!"
Well, bullshit.
She gives a variation on what I call the Fatal Words, which is when a politician says "I'm a gun owner myself, BUT.." Which means yes, they want to make it as difficult and expensive as possible for people- at least the commoners- to buy and own them. And she's talking a lot now about "I'm not forforced buyback confiscation(fixed it for her), but-" Which means "I'm not talking about doing it now."
And we can't forget this wonderful statement which moves to how much she cares about the 4th Amendment:
...Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of YOUR LOCKED HOME doesn't mean we're not going to walk in and check that you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs...
Let's move on to her truancy program, which included
Like her truancy program, for instance, where she had state prosecutors go after parents of kids who missed more than ten percent of their school time. That sounds like a tough plan. Until you hear that they spent two years prosecuting a woman whose child was in the hospital for sickle-cell anemia who had voluminous documentation proving it, but they kept at her. Harris and her team needed the statistic for a win.
And now this is from the NYeffingTimes, not exactly a right-wing mouthpiece:
I can't post a readable link to the whole piece, because paywall, if I see a way around that I'll add it here.

...Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state’s attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent. Most troubling, Ms. Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors.
Consider her record as San Francisco’s district attorney from 2004 to 2011. Ms. Harris was criticized in 2010 for withholding information about a police laboratory technician who had been accused of “intentionally sabotaging” her work and stealing drugs from the lab. After a memo surfaced showing that Ms. Harris’s deputies knew about the technician’s wrongdoing and recent conviction, but failed to alert defense lawyers, ...a judge condemned Ms. Harris’s indifference to the systemic violation of the defendants’ constitutional rights.
I can't post a readable link to the whole piece, because paywall, if I see a way around that I'll add it here.
And isn't it freaking wonderful that the left now doesn't give a crap about her actions as DA and AG? As Larry Correia once said, the moral compass of the left is a windsock.
Professional Journalist gets ass removed and handed to her,
and may not even realize it.
CNN: “if you can afford a boat, you’re not hurting so bad, right? Because a boat costs a lot of money and it’s a lot of upkeep.”
Trump Supporter: “Listen, nobody gave me shit!”
“I earned everything that I’ve got. I’m retired military, retired power plant, and I am successful and retired with boats, jet skis because I get it right, and everybody has that chance. Whether they choose or not, that’s up to them.”
And there's more. I'd suggest watching the whole thing.
And this line covers lots of idiots on the left:
“I think it’s interesting that people who are a little bit more comfortable are still so concerned about the economy,”
Because, you idiot, they generally had to work hard to get 'more comfortable', and they don't want to lose it because of idiot politicians and their policies.

“The Federal government has funded, developed, and promoted entities that aim to demonetize news and information outlets because of their lawful speech,” the House Committee on Small Business found, adding that GEC “circumvented its strict international mandate” by funding private contractors with “domestic censorship capabilities.”
Not only did the Committee find evidence the State Department strategized to discredit reporting both by me and by Gabe Kaminsky of the Examiner (see reader note, coming), it also showed the State Department blazing new trails in the annals of “the dog ate my homework” chutzpah in response to Congressional oversight requests. “Despite the fact the Committee subpoenaed documents which it had been requesting for more than 14 months,” the Committee wrote, “State said it would take approximately 21 months from the date of the subpoena to produce these documents in full — around March 2026.”
Worse, when the Committee asked GEC for basic contractor information:
Categories were provided for several recipients rather than specific organizations or individuals, such as $240,136 for “Radio Programmes” [sic] and $42,600 for “On-Air Discussion…” In six instances, subawardees were just the first names of individuals… in one instance the field denoted “Report mentions subpartners; unable to find details…”
Etc.
And since there is a statute about 'contempt of Congress'*, Blinken needs time in a cell.
...As reported here at Racket and in the Examiner, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken responded with a remarkable letter. Complaining about Examiner reporting, Blinken declared that without a “better understanding” of how the Committee planned to “utilize this sensitive information,” he would only release information in an “in camera setting.” Even in camera, however, the State Department claimed lost records while submitting answers of the “We spent money on discussions and stuff” variety.
*I know, chances of it actually being used on one of these bastards: just about zero; that's to be used on us peasants, y'know.

The question must be asked about Harris: is there any part of the Constitution
she's sworn to uphold that she wouldn't violate?
We have her recorded hostility to the 1st Amendment, and the 2nd, now we have the 4th:
“Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible.”
Video and audio here.
This also tells us, if there was any doubt, that her word is not worth crap. Another reason to not want her in the Oval Office.

Oh yeah, nothing to worry about here, noooo...
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday officially designated the Electoral College vote count and certification as a special national security event, putting the U.S. Secret Service in charge of security surrounding the process.
If you're thinking what I'm thinking, in the aftermath of the July assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the Secret Service — "one of the elite law enforcement agencies in the world" — presently has a self-inflicted, less-than-stellar image.
So, what's the deal? Why this, now?
I'm sure people have a lot of ideas about that. Mayorkas has lied under oath to Congress so many times they may have lost count(with nothing ever done about it), the USSS has demonstrated a less-than-stellar quality of work and a head who's lied a few times under oath himself, their performance with the two assassination attempts, and now this?
And we sure-hell can't trust the Feebs. Once more, ain't this a wonderful damned mess?
Oh, and speaking of the USSS,
But as the Post noted, Routh only got that close because of a security gap that the “Secret Service has known about for years.”
“News photographers — including those hired by The Post — have had no problem repeatedly securing spots around the perimeter of the course to snap pictures of Trump playing golf or driving around in a golf cart,” the Post reported. “They have even taken images — which require a clear line of sight to the 45th president — unnoticed through the bushes with telephoto lenses.
“Some have gotten as close as 75 yards — without so much as a sideways glance from the Secret Service.”

Two more jewels from the Feebs and USSS
First, isn't it either law or regulation that, when asked for it, they're required to show their ID? Do these two just not want to admit their names, or trying to hide them for some other reason?
Second, on the USSS,
On July 13, law enforcement personnel abandoned the rooftop of American Glass Research Building 6—the roof from which Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate the former president—because of hot weather.
...
• The Secret Service’s Office of Protective Operations-Manpower told agents in charge of security for the Butler rally not to request additional security resources because they would be denied. ...
Oh, there's a lot more.
And now, on the 'investigation'*
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., ranking member of the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations told The Federalist in an interview Sunday evening that he is particularly frustrated by the Secret Service’s and FBI’s failure to grant the committee overseeing these agencies access to key sources.
“FBI Deputy Director [Paul] Abbate said they’ve done over 1,000 interviews. We’ve done 12,” Johnson said. “The Secret Service hasn’t let us to talk to them. The FBI hasn’t given us one 302 [interview report]. When we get documents, they’re often the day before, and heavily redacted.”
I think I said before, a lot of people need to be fired. And the list is getting longer.
*Isn't 'investigation' a funny word for "Hide everything we can from the Committee"?

A good whack at the EUnuchs, who seem to have the same philosophy: "Cause us bad publicity
and you're gone."
According to Deadline, Breton has been "at odds with von der Leyen [since] August when he sent a letter to Musk, urging him to ensure that X adhered to EU regulations and moderated content."
And they can one and all go to hell.
According to Deadline, Breton has been "at odds with von der Leyen [since] August when he sent a letter to Musk, urging him to ensure that X adhered to EU regulations and moderated content."
In response, Musk told Breton to back-off with an expletive-laden meme on X, taken from the satirical action thriller Tropic Thunder.Translation: Breton embarrassed Brussels and had to be sidelined.
The European Commission would not comment on the insult, but a spokesperson stated that “the timing and wording” of Breton’s letter to Musk had not been coordinated with von der Leyen or other commissioners, in a response that was seen as a rebuke to the commissioner.
And they can one and all go to hell.
"It's to save Nature!"
A 2020 survey counted 4,700 trees on the project site. Since then, however, the size of the project has been reduced.
Hundreds of Joshua trees appeared to have been destroyed in the last week, but on some portions of the site the trees still stand, residents said. Neither the company nor government agencies would say how many trees have been cut down. Avantus, the developer, said fewer trees will be destroyed than the government approved.
Heavy equipment has not yet started leveling the land where the trees were felled to prepare for the solar panel installation.
Residents fear the earth-moving work will increase the threat of valley fever — a fungal respiratory infection that is transmitted in dust. A local group found the fungus that causes valley fever in samples of topsoil from the five parcels surrounding the towns where the solar panels will be built.
And, if you ignore the trees, how many critters are being killed, burrows- and the land for- trashed, and so on?
But GREEN!

Well, someone tried to whack Trump again
This time, at least according to current information, the USSS actually performed fairly well. I'm not linking to stories because I believe in the '48 to 72 hours' rule. Especially with our Professional Journalists.
I will note that when Biden*/Harris put out the obligatory "We're glad he's safe" message, there were a number of "Really? You've spent years calling him Hitler and anyone who either supports him or just doesn't support you a nazi, and you're glad he's alive?" responses.
On other Trump and "Professional Journalist" news,
I will, however, note this found at Insty:
BREAKING: ABC News Whistleblower Affidavit alleging that Kamala Harris was given an unfair advantage in her debate with Donald Trump has been released
We'll see what comes next.
Also, remember Zuckerbitch apologizing for censoring people and news? I took a look over there, and not one damn thing other than oblique mentions could I find of the murder attempt. So Z-bitch obviously wasn't that bothered about doing it, since he still is.

*Is Biden actually doing ANYTHING anymore?
