Just a couple of comments on things

No, I've had some helluva coughing spells in the past, but never managed to pull a muscle before.  And I'll be careful to try to avoid it again.

Sailor Curt is right: the best thing is to have a decent ammo supply before a bunch of people decide "I need more."

Virginia is in the hands of the enemy
‘Moderate’ Abigail Spanberger Appoints Two Qatari Lobbyists To Serve on George Mason University BoSo is New Effed York.  If anyone's surprised, why?  The Mayor is a communist, of course he's supporting other communists.

So is NewEffed York..

Why would anyone be surprised?  The Mayor is a communist, of course he's supporting other communists who hate the US.

Mr. Steyn has thoughts:
Twenty years ago, my eventual book-length argument was summarised in the Toronto Globe and Mail by the eminent “political scientist” William Christian as “quite possibly the most crass and vulgar book about the West’s relationship with the Islamic world I have ever encountered“. Professor Christian has evidently led a sheltered life: he was born in the Queen Charlotte Islands, which are now officially known as “Haida Gwaii”, a bollocks name invented in hopes of appeasing “the Haida nation”; it turns out that these days nowhere is really that sheltered, don’t you find?

But just because something is “crass and vulgar” doesn’t mean it’s not correct. It’s certainly straightforward. The western world is going out of business because it’s given up having babies. The mid-twentieth-century welfare state, with its hitherto unknown concepts such as spending the first third of your life in “education” and the last third in “retirement”, was carelessly premised on mid-twentieth-century fertility rates, and, as they collapsed, the west turned to “migrants” to be the children they couldn’t be bothered having themselves. The condition of your maternity ward may be “crass and vulgar”, but it’s not a speculative prediction.


Headline: Eric Swalwell Could Be Ineligible for Governor or Face Jail Time

Gee, why not both?

And now I've got things to do.

Yes, the Mayor of NYeffingCity and his minions are pretty open about being racists

as well as communists.  And some of them can't handle being questioned or challenged.*


Cea Weaver, the Office to Protect Tenants head, which at base could be a decent thing.  Except:
“She’s Chesa Boudin times a thousand,” an incredulous Tandler said today, referencing the oft-mocked former San Francisco District Attorney.**

In one clip, Weaver talked about how “we” can “take over a lot of distressed housing,” and use legal processes to tell “scofflaw” landlords, “We’re gonna take this building away from you.” A video short that went viral showed Weaver talked about moving home ownership from an “individualized good” to a “collective good,” saying that “especially white families, but some POC families” are going to have to embrace a “different relationship to property” than “the one that we currently have”:
Sounds great, huh?  Especially when you add in she's a racist who hates people actually owning property.

Well, she's a communist working for a communist, what would you expect?

And, as you'd expect, hypocrisy of a large level shows up.  And she acts like- well, like some academic "I've never really done anything" who's being actually challenged and asked about her crap for the first time in her life.  Which is probably true.

Oh, New Effing York, you really chose this.  And you're getting the Good and Hard part already.

Added: yes, he's probably right

*Taibbi has written some very good stuff, but you often can only read part of it.  In this case, 'Give me your email address and you can unlock the rest'.  Except the next step is 'Scan this code, THEN you can read the rest.'  No, thank you.

**'Mocked' means called on being a terrorist-supporting, crime-supporting asshat who screwed that city horribly.  Unless you were a crook who wanted to get away with things.

The gentleman had this picture up,

and it sums up the left pretty well

"You are a VICTIM!"  etc.  If you're not the selected victim you are a VICTIMIZER!  "You use honey?  You abuse bees!  You wear wool, you abuse sheep!  You like sex with the other sex, you're a RAPIST!"

Which fits in well with that nutcase hypocrite  who's advising(enabling) the Mayor of NYeffingCity, who says if you own a home you're a racist exploiter, etc., and she wants to take it away from you.  PLANS to take it from you.  

Good and Hard, NYeffingCity, you either voted for this or couldn't bother to vote against it.

"Oh no!

Anyway..."
Cuba says 32 Cuban officers were killed in US operation in Venezuela

There's reason Larry Correia said 'The moral compass of the left is a windsock':

Oh, this must piss off the Brit PM.  Assuming it doesn't scare hell out of him.


It seems that two news agencies- NYeffingTimes and Washington Post- had information about the operation leaked to them, but they- unexpectedly- did NOT publish it prior to the strike.  Which is nice for a change.

Why not?

I can think of two reasons:

1. There may be a few people there who actually think putting US troops and a mission in danger is a bad idea.

2. "You know what our ratings are with the average someone?  Troops get wounded, or killed, or crippled because we put this out, they'll want to hang us!  And what do you think Trump will have to say about us? "

I think 2 is more likely.  And I hope there is some very careful digging to find how WHO leaked it to them, so the bastard can be punished appropriately(I'll leave you to decide just what that would be).

A quick bit before I have to crash for the night

The only people really upset about us grabbing Maduro & Spouse are communists, lots of Democrats who haven't gone all the way left, most of our Professional Journalists, and the idiots who- for some reason- blame Jews for all problems and say Israel is responsible.

Which takes care of them.  And the people yelling 'Racism!' to try to protect massive fraudsters.


One more of Biden's accomplishments the left really won't want to talk about.  Unless they figure they can sell it as Trump's fault.

Also more Democrats playing "Protect the bad guys, and threaten anyone who actually tries to find the facts."

Never forget the 'Republicans' who have their thumbs in the pie or just don't care about the crimes, either.

Among the reasons the Professional Journalists hate Musk so much.  And those damned troublesome kids who won't shut up.

With one exception to follow, that's it; I'm tired.

The commies are moving fast

“In regard to what we're just talking about now, COPA, how wrong can a person be or a body of a government be when we start to take the individual rights away from the homeowner, whether it's a two family house, three family house, four family house, what does it matter? The fact is the person owns the home, they have the right to sell the home to whomever they please.

The idea that we have to consult with the building department and give a six month period of time for someone else to make an offer is absolutely outrageous. And to say it's government overreach is 100% true. This is absolutely maniacal.”

“I do not understand how this body works when it comes to individual citizens of this city. This is overreach at its very best. I'm a homeowner, and no one is going to tell me or anybody else I know that's worked so damn hard to own a three or a four family home that I have to submit the ability to sell my house first to the building department and then offer it up to a non-for-profit when my neighbor across the street may want to buy it.”
"But you commoners might not want to sell it to who we wish!  We can't allow that!"

Funny, it is

It's what it means that's not

That's the Lt. Governor of Minnesota playing submissive for the Somalis. 

Speaking of idiocy, the elected-Mayor of NYeffingCity has selected his head of the Fire Department: a lesbian who's never been part of the fire department.  Apparently he liked the disaster that followed stupidity like this in Los Angeles.


More idiocy in the EU, some of the attacks on speech; they consider 'free speech' to be speech they approve of.

Same kind of bullshit in Aussie land.

Here's the Premier of New South Wales:

"We don't have the same freedom of speech laws that they have in the U.S., and the reason for that is that we want to hold together a multicultural community."

You can have free speech or you can have multiculturalism. You can't have both.
And he'll kiss terrorist ass as much as he can to show his submission to their approval.


Speaking of, the proper title of this would be 'UK Muslim Minister declares 'War on Boys Who are Not Muslim'

The communist/islamist hasn't been sworn in yet, but the actions of submission

have already begun.

A: How many leftist women in NYeffingC will do it?
B: How will they handle it when the sharia patrols start?

If I was stuck in NYeffingCity, even if I wasn't Jewish

I'd be arming up.

The idiots elected a communist, islamist terrorism supporter, anybody who'll be one of his targets should be doing so.

Or getting the hell out of that craphole.

What? The media didn't report Mamdani talking like a Stalin mini-me?

Gee, why might they have done that?
Across 23 angry minutes laced with identity politics and seething with resentment,” the editorial says, Mamdani made clear that he wants to identify “class enemies” — like landlords, and “bosses” who exploit workers — and set about “crushing them.”

His goal, it notes, isn’t to increase wealth, but to redistribute it to his supporters. He didn’t mention “growth” once.
Even Democratic talking heads Van Jones and David Axelrod criticized Mamdani’s “character switch” and his divisive speech.

What a surprise. Who knew Mamdani would turn out to be such an almost Hugo Chavez-like figure?

Well, anyone paying attention, actually.

Certainly more people would have known had the Washington Post covered his “long history of divisive and demagogic statements.”
Ah, but that would've caused problems for the Democrats, so there's your answer.

The lead candidate for Mayor of NYeffingCity

is sympathetic- at the least- to the people who knocked down the Twin Towers and killed almost 3000 people.

Is encouraging to people who want to kill all the Jews in the world.

Believes in the social system that killed way over 100 million people in the last century.

And thinks American citizens should be forbidden to own guns, but doesn't want Hamas to be disarmed.

Hey, New York, thanks for proving to us you're population- at least that of it that bothers to vote- is made up of idiots, at best.

Well, they've so far avoided causing the "Wipe them out" switch to be thrown,

but Hamas is busy trying to maintain control; I doubt it'll work.  Hopefully enough people in Gaza are sick of their crap to deal with them; especially since I think the Israelis will quietly help them.

Especially if Madam Hoyt is right about any female hostages, 
Unless, of course, Hamass are lying about their being dead and keeping them as sex slaves. I wouldn’t put it past those rumps of swine.
in which case, it's found out, the Israelis will wipe the bastards.  As they deserve.

Meanwhile, in our country, the usual suspects are not happy with the treaty, and are still insisting "Jews committing genocide!" and other bullshit.  Because they can't really make themselves publicly say "Treaty bad, we want more dead Jews!"  Especially the islamist/communist clowns like Mamdani and those other oathbreaking traitors in Congress, who hate this both because Israel still exists and they haven't been able to do more damage to the Republic than they have.

The Democrats are still trying to get piles of money for health care for illegal aliens, including violent criminals.  The Republicans, for once, aren't caving.

The Village Hemorrhoid has a post with several good things, including "Antifa isn't an organization, just an idea!"  "Well, bullshit."   Which you may have noticed that not only politicians but a lot of our 'media' are playing that game, in about the same words.  BRM has something on that.  Screw 'em, one and all.


Over the pond, an example of the people their Prime Minister and other 'elite' traitors are letting take over the country.  This family got bad enough that even the Brits tried them and found them guilty.

Why do I say 'the people' that way?  Because, though the 'news' article has almost been cleansed of such information, there's this:
According to the girl, the abuse started when she was just six-years-old and took place constantly even during important holidays such as Eid.
and
The girl said her mother would take money she was given by other family members as a gift for holidays such as Eid and spend it instead.
That being a muslim holiday it gives the fact away.  I'm surprised they let that through for the commoners to read.

After that piece about 'no way the Brits could actually pull off a revolt' a few days ago,

we have this:
Colonel Richard Kemp, a high-profile Infantry officer who fought counter insurgency on home ground in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, served in the Gulf war and Bosnia, commanded an Afghanistan operation, and who had political-facing senior roles in Westminster including the powerful Joint Intelligence Committee and the Cabinet Office crisis centre COBRA, has expressed concern about unrest and even civil war potentially breaking out in Britain.

The Colonel’s comments in many regards echo those by top academic David Betz, professor of war in the modern world at King’s College London’s prestigious War Studies department, who says his research has led him to believe the classic preconditions for civil war are already present in many Western nations, and particularly the UK.
...
The United Kingdom and the broader West face a “primary threat” from an alliance of “hard left and Islamist extremists who have, together with other causes, come together to threaten the cohesion and the culture, the entire culture and political existence of the West,” Colonel Kemp said. This nexus, in his view, is “fostered by,” and “funded to a large extent, by our international enemies like Russia, China, Iran, and other countries as well”.

Kemp, who is openly conservative and who is something of a Bête noire for the UK left over his support for Israel, expressed concern that because the British political system produces leaders who are necessarily risk-averse and short-sighted, the political levers available to avert a crisis in the United Kingdom won’t be used. He told Tomlinson that, in general, politicians are “in a state of bewilderment, they’re like rabbits in headlights,” privately understanding what the problems are but not how to deal with them.
...
All of this adds up to a political crisis that can’t be solved, and increasingly desperate people who want to live in a Britain that makes sense. Kemp continued: “I’d hate to be right on this, but I believe that I know there is no political solution to the situation Britain faces today. When I say there is no solution, I don’t mean there actually isn’t a solution, but there is no solution that any of our politicians are willing to take… because they are afraid of doing anything significant”.
So leftists and islamists align*, and the chickenshit and traitorous politicians cannot or will not act realistically.  Oh yeah, that's working out great, isn't it?

Yes, this is an act of war,

and should be treated as such.

Yes, I know, but this really is a Big EffingDeal, and should be treated as such.

It's only a matter of time before someone dies

at one of these 'mostly peaceful' protests.

"I had PTSD because those people blamed us! If Trump hadn't stood up

with his fist in the air they'd have killed us journalists!"
And the downside?

The NYC Mayor communist candidate(who says he isn't) says he'd be in favor of the 'abolition of private property.'
That slight rumbling the northeastern US can feel is people starting to pack to get the hell out of New York.


"You have to go to college!" they cry.  Except
“In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.”

“The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?”

“I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.”
...
“The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.”

“Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.”

“There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”
Sounds like a lot of jobs that don't require you to go into debt to a college.

But you must trust the courts!  They say so!
Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties.
...
Donald Trump, however, is not merely the president: He is a Defendant in scores of lawsuits, including multiple cases in the D.C. District Court. As such, this conversation did not concern generic concerns of the judiciary, but specific discussions about a litigant currently before the same judges who expressed concern to the Chief Judge of the D.C. District Court that the Trump Administration would disregard the court’s orders.

Judge Boasberg’s comments reveal he and his colleagues hold an anti-Trump bias, for the Trump Administration had complied with every court order to date (and since for that matter). The D.C. District Court judges’ “concern” also went counter to the normal presumption courts hold — one that presumes public officials properly discharged their official duties. Apparently, that presumption does not apply to the current president, at least if you are litigating in D.C.

And what is both troubling and ironic is that only a few days later, Judge Boasberg, in a case in which he completely lacked jurisdiction, as the Supreme Court would later confirm, entered a lawless order commanding the Trump Administration to halt removals to El Salvador. So, one of the judges concerned about Trump following the law, ignored the law. Nonetheless, Judge Boasberg would later find “the Trump Administration committed criminal contempt of court” by failing to turn the planes around or fly the gang members back to the U.S., even though the court’s written (and unlawful) injunction ordered neither.
Sounds to me like the Chief Justice needs to have some words with some judges.  Or else, sooner or later, face up to actions to get rid of some of those judges, the idea of which seems to horrify him so.

Well, the Mayor of LA is a communist, and the Governor is Gov. HairGel, and you actually expected them to give a damn about you?

Oh yes, things are picking up

Asshat murdered two Israeli embassy people, said asshat being a member of Party for Socialism and Liberation.  Rather an interesting racist past too.  

This caused a man to remind us of something:

Yeah, an awful lot of leftists cheering on murder.

Speaking of, a roundup of some of this noise, which is getting louder.

Folks, my personal opinion is that if you normally carry for self-defense, good; if you don't, you'd better consider carrying everywhere and when you legally can.  Probably with a reload or two.  Because some of this crap is going to get worse, probably in a lot of places.

Have I ever mentioned Fecesbook is run by idiots?

At best?


I'm tired, so instead of more work tonight,
Here's a Democrat bigshot who's actually described himself as a revolutionary communist telling some people "The Democrat Party has screwed up badly, and it's still doing it."


What Trudumbass and the leftists have done to Canada, all in the name of Diversity! and Anti-Colonialism!

So far they've been lucky; it won't last.


Byrd, the Capitol cop who murdered Ashli Babbitt... Well, read this:
...In September 2021, Byrd attempted to personally purchase a shotgun but failed to pass the background check required by federal law. Byrd subsequently sought USCP’s help in resolving the issue with his background check.26 After learning that Byrd failed his background check, USCP took steps to provide him with a USCPissued shotgun and intended to “lend” him a shotgun even if his background check “did not come through.”27 Ultimately, Byrd failed his shotgun proficiency and was not provided a USCP-issued shotgun.
Consider: not only did this CAPITOL COP fail a NICS check, but the agency was going to loan him one "...even if his background check did not come through."... 
They were going to PROVIDE a gun to a guy who failed the background check?  Really?  Don't people go to jail for that?

AND he couldn't pass the shotgun class?  And he's still a cop?
Note: yes, I've posted on this before, but that "We were gonna give him one anyway" bit just stood out to me today.


More from Canuckistan:
A generation of white children are being raised to hate themselves, to hate their culture, to hate their ancestors, to perceive nothing in their heritage but bigotry, hatred, oppression, and barbarism. Their minds are being overwritten with the values and morality of an alien culture, with the explicit goal of forever terminating their connection with everything that came before. The wages of this deracination are depression and drug addiction, just as one would expect ... but it’s for their own good and all for a good cause. And besides, they’re receiving the gold standard of education.
Yeah, punishing KIDS now for what someone else did quite a while ago is not a good idea.

That's it, folks.  I'm beat, and it's time to see about food.

A short break from the stuff going on, so

a bit of the news:
Remember the asshole who murdered three girls and stabbed a bunch more?  Lots of people thought it might be a terror attack, etc., and Two-Tier & Co. used that as excuse to throw a bunch of people in prison for BadThink?  
Guess what.


Roman concrete, it appears the secret has indeed been found.


OR and WA governors have activated the National Guard, because, apparently, they no longer want to support/tolerate a bunch of rioting communists.

But what about when taxpayer-funded agencies sit on information, and seek to discredit it, just because it’s potentially harmful to a preferred candidate? Well, then that information becomes disinformation right up until it’s convenient for it to stop being so.

And this wasn’t a case of anyone getting it wrong.

No, with the Hunter Biden laptop story, they knew it was legit. They just didn’t want you to know that.


And that's it for now

That Walz fellow does seem to be a bit of a dick

At a 2014 congressional hearing held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Tim Walz, then a congressman representing Minnesota’s first district, recalled being in Hong Kong when the Chinese Communist Party crushed the student protests that had roiled the country since mid-April of 1989. The unforgettable crackdown came on June 4 of that year.
...
That anecdote has since been repeated, without scrutiny, by the New York Times, CBS News, and National Public Radio, among others. In reality, local news reports show that Walz was at home in Nebraska in May and June of 1989, as protests convulsed China and the government’s response turned the world’s attention to its gross human rights violations. He wouldn’t depart for China until August.
He lies an awful lot, doesn't he?

And now,
“The Committee has recently received whistleblower disclosures informing the Committee of serious concern among Department of Homeland personnel regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Timothy James Walz,” wrote Chairman James Comer. “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, the Committee has learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees—titled ‘NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync’—that contains information about Governor Walz that is relevant to the Committee’s investigation. The Committee has also learned that further relevant information regarding Governor Walz has been memorialized in both classified and unclassified documents in the control of DHS.”
