Trump to the UN: S My D and L My Bs

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Nick Sortor @nicksortor


🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just called out the UN globalists for attempting to FORCE mass migration to the west

"With your CEASELESS promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively DESTROYING the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history."

"They want the worst people to come in from the WORST places on earth and we don't do it anymore."

"There is NO HUMAN RIGHT to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a SOVEREIGN NATION."

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump's FULL blockbuster UN speech is getting rave reviews -- where he RAILED against the globalist ICC, called out the persecution of Christians, REFUSED to apologize for America First and more

The whole thing was 10/10! 🔥

TRUMP DID THE FOLLOWING:

- Called out the UN for ignoring Christian persecution worldwide while obsessing over America

- Demanded every ICC member resign immediately from that rogue anti-American tribunal

- Called Communist Cuba a failed state that will fall, then watched officials storm out

- Declared there is no human right to illegal immigration, only the right to stay a sovereign nation

- Scorched UNESCO globalists for pushing mass migration that destroys Western cultures

- Said there is NO global government and there will be NO global taxes while he is president

- Bragged that America cut the UN budget 15% and killed over 4,000 bureaucracy jobs

- Boasted of the most secure border in American history with ZERO illegal aliens admitted

- Declared America is BACK, stronger than ever, and in a GOLDEN AGE after Biden's dark age

- Mic-dropped failed globalist leaders: while others talked peace, he MADE peace

- Vowed Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon and said the Middle East bully is finished

- Teased a huge post-election decision: strike a deal, or annihilate the Islamic Republic

- Exposed Iran as weak and desperate, not strong, and predicted Iranian terror's end

- Slammed cowards and traitors leaking fake "low munitions" claims mid-conflict

- Took a victory lap over capturing Maduro and signing the largest oil deal in history

- Laid down the Donroe Doctrine: no threats get a foothold in the Western Hemisphere

- Refused to apologize for crushing drug cartels, calling them the ISIS of the hemisphere

- Locked in permanent Greenland security rights that shut out China, Russia, and adversary investment

- Renamed Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence and vowed America stays #1 over China

Well he didn't coin that. People routinely speak of "AGI" -- "Artificial General Intelligence" -- and "ASI" -- "Artificial Super-Intelligence." Neither one has been achieved yet.

- Closed with a nationalist call to strengthen nations, grow economies, and God bless America

And that's just a non-exhaustive list.

Five Years After Covid, a Lesbian Bar Finally Relaxed Its Covid Mask Policy, Which Required Wearing a KN-95 Mask at All Times.
The Backlash Is, Get This, Unhinged.

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Five years after covid.

Five years after covid.

I just want to make it clear that this is five years after covid.

Five years after covid, and they're still shrieking and shrilling over a bar relaxing a requirement to wear KN-95 masks.

Not banning the masks. Just not requiring them. Now, they're only suggested.

Oh -- and the requirement is only relaxed one night per week. On Saturday.

All other days of the week -- mask up. Covid will kill you.

Five years later, and the left-wing lesbian Karens are having a meltdown.

A Western Mass. lesbian bar required KN-95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose.

The August 31 Instagram post from Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, was upbeat, teasing a new DJ lineup and a volunteer meetup. But partway down the rainbow-hued post labeled "UPDATES!" was a sentence that would splinter the queer community in this small Pioneer Valley city and beyond.


"It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional," wrote Last Ditch.

Previously, patrons were required to wear a well-fitted KN-95 mask "or better" at all times.

The new policy was not received with love.

"Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with," wrote one commenter.

"people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience," posted another.

This is almost as spicy as the Intercepted Reddit Messages.

"I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists [sic]," wrote a third.


The thread grew to 442 comments, some supportive, but many furious.

Leftists furious about something they think they're "owed" but aren't getting?!

This. Changes. Everything.

The people running the bar were accused of being ableist -- eugenicist, even -- for relaxing their signature policy in the face of what commenters consider an ongoing pandemic (Greenfield hasn't reported any COVID cases in more than two months).

Two days later, Last Ditch posted an apology. "We are sorry for our passive and dismissive tone of our change to the norms and schedule impacting the most intersectional of us," management wrote on Instagram. "We understand everyone faces different intersections and we are always working to consider all needs fully."

Now, you're not going to believe this, but it turns out that apologizing to an SJW does not appease them, but encourages them to become even more shrill and hateful in demanding further concessions.

Instead of defusing the situation, the apology seemed to make things worse. The bar had erred: it posted an Instagram card without providing alt-text for the visually impaired. This set off a fresh round of accusations of ableism.

"This is not an accessible post," wrote one user. "It indicates the lack of care or interest in Disability intersectionality."

...

Quaint, crunchy Greenfield (population 17,700) isn't a bad place for a COVID-cautious lesbian bar in 2026, all things considered. Rainbow flags deck store windows downtown. On a recent weekend, a community theater was advertising a workshop for masked performers, down the street from a bookstore with a "medical masks required" sign in the window. Men in ponytails and N-95s were ordering hibiscus tea from the coffee shop off the main square.

Greenfield is close, both physically and spiritually, to Northampton, sometimes referred to as "Lesbianville, U.S.A." In the Pioneer Valley, "every bar is a lesbian bar," a friend who lives there told me.

Nevertheless, Last Ditch, which opened last year as a bar for "dykes, transsexuals, gender freaks, workers, and their friends," is struggling.

...

"Our mission is to create systems of care and action and aid," says Jackie Matellian, one of the founders.

When it first opened, Last Ditch did fairly well. Customers fondly remember a raucous opening night with a (clothed) simulation of a lesbian sex act -- masks in place -- on the dance floor.

How dare Sydney Sweeney sexualize women.

But over time, foot traffic to the bar slowed. More and more visitors said they didn't have the cover fee; the bar let them in anyway. The owners fell behind on bills and couldn't pay themselves or the people who worked there. So, after consulting with the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce, they came up with a plan to bend one of their rules -- and hopefully attract more customers.

...

One of Last Ditch's most vocal critics, the head of another queer COVID-conscious collective in Western Massachusetts, a performer and artist who goes by Soe Noire, has been posting complaints about Last Ditch for days. Now, Noire joins the meeting on Zoom. He and other critics begin to flood the Zoom chat with irate messages, which are dutifully read aloud to the group.

"He"? Is this a trans "man" by any chance?

"Noire" is the feminine form of "Noir." Does "he" know that?

...

When it comes time for one of the mediators, a licensed therapist, to speak, she takes a conciliatory tone.

"I love that you are here online," she says. But "these platforms alienate us from each other. I'm talking about social media." She asks whether participants can try to remove themselves from "places of righteousness."

"I would love to get to a place where we all know each other's face, where we all know each other's name," she continues.

"It's messed up that the mediator is dismissing those attending virtually. That's not accessibility," someone responds in the chat.<

"A lot of people are calling for an acknowledgment of harm and I'm hearing a WHITE therapist ... center[ing] the feelings of a majority white and white adjacent staff," writes Noire, who is Black.

No shit really?

The owner tried to femsplain that she was losing money and deeply in debt and felt she had to do something to increase patronage -- or matronage -- or else she'd have to close it down.

Showing weakness to an SJW is never a good move.

"I never really wanted to do this," Matellian says, beginning to cry under her mask. "I don't think I'm doing a very good job."

Matellian tells the group her credit score is trashed. For six months, she lived in her truck because she was pouring money into the bar. She is working four different jobs. She is responsible for paying off the $50,000 loan the three took out to launch the business.

The online critics are unmoved. "[Y]ou chose to use your time to spill tears and center your feelings," Noire posts in the chat. "This is incredibly racist and deflecting behavior."
...

Last Ditch's landlord wants $3,900 in back rent by Monday.

Noire spends the hours after the meeting posting furious Instagram stories about Matellian and Last Ditch. Matellian (who uses she/they pronouns) had been shedding "WHITE THEY THEM TEARS," he writes. The bar was not "a safe environment nor interested in revolutionary praxis."

Oh, a business is not primarily a vehicle for revolutionary communist praxis?

Praxis is a bullshit term that just means "practice" -- there is theory, and then there is praxis, putting theory into practice. Stupid uneducated communists use an obscure Latin word that means "practice" to make their stupid ideas sound smart.

Why not just say "practice"? Because that wouldn't sound -- how many quotation marks do I have to use to express my sneering revulsion -- " " " " " " smart " " " " " " like "praxis" does.

Now we delve into the mystery of Noire's many-layered sexual identity, and it's as fake and gay and stupid as you were expecting.

I reach Noire, who identifies as a gender-expansive lesbian and uses he/him pronouns, by Zoom a few days later. I ask whether he has any sympathy for those running Last Ditch, given the profound financial strain they are under. "No," he replies. (Noire asked to be referred to by his stage name because he says he has been stalked and fears for his safety.) "I'm not going to give grace" when someone is "spreading rhetoric that can and will get people hurt," he says, referring to the fact that the bar's account had "liked" a few comments supporting the relaxed rule.

Noire, who lives about 50 minutes south of Greenfield, estimates he has visited the bar seven or eight times. But he won't return unless there is new leadership. "You can't repair a house that's on fire," he says.

"He's" been there eight fucking times and "he" acts like he owns the place.

I remember a comment on Last Ditch's original announcement, after the pile-on had begun: @scream_guy_wazzzuuuuuuup asked, "i'm sorry, all 400 of these crazy people live in GREENFIELD MASSACHUSETTS????"

I ask whether the people behind the angriest posts have genuine connections to the bar -- are they real customers?

Young and Matellian say yes, they know many of the detractors.

"There are people that are close to us and love us who are really disappointed in our decision, and that is completely understandable," says Young, who says her sister is one of the vocal critics online. "Like, it's so understandable why they feel hurt by the way we did it and the fact that we did it."

"They have passion for the space," Matellian adds.

Just one more glimpse of the seething hormonal insanity:



Just after midnight, one patron is left at the bar, a regular who works at the Mexican restaurant next door. She wonders aloud about holding a Lady Gaga themed night, but Mixxy demurs. "Gaga is canceled," she says. "Gaga is Zionist."

The Boston Globe ran a graphic showing some of the unhinged comments:

lesbianbarcovidmaskmeltdown.png

Here are some of them. Different messages are separated by line breaks.

the lack of masks in spaces literally kills people & stops disabled people from participating in society.

I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists

Like was this deliberately written to be alienating, rude, and ableist??

enjoy contributing to national covid spikes and potentially catching covid on mask optional nights then

just say you don't want to be around queer disabled people and be done with it. 🙏🏼

I love the use of "prayer hands" in a hateful message.

YOU'VE just decided that disabled peoples lives are debatable. And that's fine, it's pretty typical of white leftists.

It feels wildly insensitive and dismissive :(

Being in community requires tolerating discomfort. The cost of not masking for many is lifelong disability via long covid

Oh, she's on disability. You and I are paying for her to sit on her couch and scream hate into the internet every day.

seeing these people whine about masks being a little inconvenient for them is INFURIATING.

how could we consider you "community" if you act in a way that is killing us.

if youre only concerned with protecting yourself at the cost of DEATH for others, you are no better than a fascist.

What is truly being WILD is announcing a change of this magnitude in a cavalier, callous fashion.

if you spread diseases that disable and kill, you do not "love me".

Does COVlD not disable people on Saturday nights? Very confused by the disregard for community care

A venue wouldn't run a "hatred and discrimination night" to ensure that prejudiced people have a night where they feel included. Inclusivity is about setting basic standards for human dignitity.

people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience.
if this were the AIDS epidemic, youd be on the side of people who were against prophylactics and who believed AIDS patients should be hidden from the public, left to die alone.

shut up, ablism apologist. Gods, I'd bet money you are even more horrible to black queer people if you can't even sit your ability privileged ass down and listen to disabled queers.

As others have shared, my family is also withdrawing financial support due to the decision and its truly heartless presentation to the community. It's not too late to reverse this decision and apologize

If u wanna pander to capitalism and white supremacy go right ahead, you wouldn't be the first white and white adjacent people in history to do so.

How performative and grotesque.

Classic white and white aligned people and their "nice" culture it's so backhanded!!!
spreading deadly and disabling disease IS violent and YOU should educate YOURself.

just bc the vast majority of humans in this society don't care about killing or disabling others, that doesn't make it okay

Not having a mask requirement on Saturdays IS going to spread disease, it IS going to cause re infection, and trans and black folks (who are high risk to long Covid and complications) CAN and WILL die from this.

What a complete joke. Of course you and LD think it's "silly" because black and disabled peoples collective health are disposable to yall.

I'm seeing a lot of "deserving" talk here. A lot of entitlement.


The "with love" also lands really hollow since it's followed by a "but we decided to not care about protecting you on Saturdays". Shameful misalignment of values to praxis, and disappointing to see.


"anti-profit" bar but they cater to capital within a year lol


some people cannot afford to get sick. These people deserve to have a space that is safe for them to socialize because they cannot go anywhere else.

i am hurt and upset by your glib and flippant attitude around it ESPECIALLY given your entire mission and foundation was based on creating a masked space for the immunocompromised community

Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with

i will continue to navigate feeling excluded by a large portion of the wmass queer community as i have been for many years now


disabled folks don't have other spaces we can frequent, largely because of people like you who've accepted the culture of ableism and don't want to mask to keep their communities safe.

Everyone is at risk of Long COVID. Everyone can and will experience multiply disabling impacts from repeat infections

masking isn't just for disabled folks. everyone is at risk. masking is community care. this establishment, apparently, is not

what a massive bummer.

Yikes on bikes.

Yikes on bikes indeed.

Communists, mentally-ill dregs, and bitter entitled invalids on disability are not the kind of customer base that results in a prosperous business.

Meanwhile: Why are people turning on the "queer community"? I can't figure it out.

Usually ugly bullies and nasty mentally-ill people are so popular and beloved!

Bloomberg Was Paying -- Bribing, We Sometimes Call It -- Democrat State AGs to Push "Environmentalism" Lawsuits

—Disinformation Expert Ace

But that's okay, because the law doesn't apply to leftists.

Being a leftist is playing life on Easy Mode with all cheat codes enabled.

Bloomberg-Backed Climate Group Paying Salaries of Democratic State AG Officials Quietly Shuts Down Amid Congressional, Legal Scrutiny The initiative's website states that it is 'historical material,' and its leaders no longer list it as their employer on their LinkedIn pages

A group housed at the New York University School of Law and backed by billionaire climate activist Michael Bloomberg quietly closed its doors in late August amid congressional scrutiny into its funding and operations. The so-called State Energy and Environmental Impact Center's signature initiative involved placing paid, climate-focused "fellows" in Democrat-controlled state attorney general offices nationwide as those offices sued the oil industry and other energy providers.

The center's sudden closure comes as a surprise: It continued to update its public database tracking state attorney general actions relevant to its climate priorities until Aug. 31, the date of its apparent closure. It also released an episode of its in-house podcast, Recharged with the State Impact Center, less than three weeks prior to that date. And in its 2025 "year in review" report released last December, the center indicated that it would continue operating throughout 2026.

But prior to its closure, the center was coming under increased pressure for effectively paying the salaries of state law enforcement agencies that were pursuing lawsuits in line with the center's priority of going after energy providers.

...

The disappearance of the center comes as it faced multiple congressional and state-level investigations over alleged ethics issues related to its funding and its practice of paying the salaries of officials it placed in state attorney general offices. Media reports and lawmakers often referred colloquially to those officials as "Bloomberg fellows" because Bloomberg helped found the center in 2017 with two seed grants worth $2.8 million each. Tax filings show that Bloomberg provided the grants through his eponymous charity, the Bloomberg Family Foundation--one of the country's most influential charities--that focuses on climate activism.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee opened an investigation into the center last year, stating that its activities "raise questions as to whether participating state attorneys general are acting on independent judgement to best serve the interests of their states' citizens."

"The Bloomberg-NYU program effectively offers states partisan money from a billionaire to carry out official functions of their offices," the panel wrote at the time. Bloomberg, it continued, "disguises his donations as 'philanthropy'" and uses the impact center as a mechanism "to skirt legislative bodies and effect partisan policy."

In a statement to the Free Beacon, the Oversight Committee's chairman Rep. James Comer (R., Ky.) said he remained concerned that the center "undermined public integrity and pushed radical Democrat policies that increase energy costs for Americans, despite billing itself as 'nonpartisan.'"

"The Committee is glad to see that this center will no longer be in operation," he added.

Another example: Being a leftist is playing life on easy mode with all cheat codes enabled.

Grand Jury: There Was No Murder In the Drowning Death of Nolan Wells

—Disinformation Expert Ace

For some reason, what Black Conservative Perspective calls "The Pro Blacks" are angry that a black kid was not murdered.


The Disney Groomer Network is probably all busted up about it, too.

The grand jury reviewing the evidence in the death of Nolan Wells has found that no criminal charges are warranted at this point, according to the Jackson County Grand Jury Report released late Monday night.

The report says that the "position of, condition of, time of discovery, and location" of the 18-year-old's body off the coast of Mississippi this July is "consistent with drowning."

Wells vanished after he and friends had gone out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday on barrier islands off the Gulf Coast. His body was recovered in the waters off Horn Island two days later.

Authorities have previously said they believe the college football player drowned, but the final determination would go to a grand jury that would review all the case materials, including the state medical examiner's completed autopsy report, to decide whether Wells' death involved a crime.

The grand jury of 23 people, convened last week, found "no credible evidence to support the public allegations" that anyone riding to or from the island that day surrounding Wells "engaged in any criminal conduct related to" his death.

The panel was comprised of what the report called a "cross section of citizens" from the area: 13 men and ten women, including "12 Caucasians, five African Americans, one Asian, two Hispanics, two Native Americans, and one individual who preferred 'other.'" Their ages ranged from 27 years old to 68 years old.

The grand jury heard from 43 witnesses and reviewed materials including physical evidence collected at the scene, digital evidence, police reports and interviews, videos, images and maps collected during the investigation.

That Wells drowned is a conclusion by the process of elimination, the grand jury report said, adding that the condition of the body made it harder to figure out. The long-awaited toxicology report was "not particularly informative as decomposition fluid is an unreliable source for evaluating substance levels within a body."

The panel found, however, that Wells had no cocaine in his system and no evidence he'd ever used it. The panel did find that Wells bought alcohol with a fake ID, and no adults of alcohol-buying age provided any to him on the island that day.

There was bruising on the back of Wells' head, which was "not a fatal injury," the report said. The grand jury "found no evidence of any fatal injury or organic disease to Mr. Wells' body."

The media refuses to report on black crimes against whites -- there is still no national reporting on the white girls dragged into the bushes by their hair to be beaten on by black "youths" during a Mostly Peaceful "Teen Takeover" -- on the theory that reporting black on white crimes would incense whites who would then start attacking blacks.

On the other hand, they are determined to report fake White on Black Hate Crimes, despite there being proof that whites were not involved.

Leftist politicians like Ayanna Presley and the media keep claiming that a black student was "lynched," despite there being videotape of him walking into the woods where he was found hanged carrying a rope.

He brought a rope for his own lynching? Or was he just walking around randomly with a rope and coincidentally ran into a Lynching Party who thought "wow, the guy brought his own lynchin' rope, must be our day!"

Meanwhile, the AP keeps reporting that a black woman found hanged is triggering black people, reminding them of whites lynching blacks.

They fail to report that there was a man arrested in the crime -- a black man who knew the victim personally.

After Supreme Court Declines to Overrule State Supreme Court, Federal District Court Steps In to Allow Missouri to Use Its New Congressional Map for Midterm Elections

—Disinformation Expert Ace

This is good for us. The "new" map, created in 2025, has been in use for over a year but was recently disallowed by the Missouri Supreme Court, which ordered the state to suddenly toss out the map that had been in use in favor of the previous 2022 map.

Isn't it strange that courts don't worry about the "chaos" of overturning established election procedures when doing so would help Democrats? And that this "chaos" factor is only used to overrule Republican initiatives, like Trump's EO to the Post Office to scan mail-in ballots for actual voter eligibility?

Well, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals apparently does think that the "chaos" factor should help Republicans just as other courts use it to help Democrats. He overruled the Missouri Supreme Court, pointing out that the "new" 2025 map has been the one candidates have been operating under for over a year and it would cause chaos to suddenly revert to the 2022 map, which has different district maps than the ones which have voted for the current candidates.

A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Missouri must use its Republican-favored 2025 redistricting map in November, despite the Supreme Court declining twice this month to intervene in the dispute.

The Supreme Court allowed a decision from the Missouri Supreme Court to take effect earlier this month, which ordered Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use the 2022 map that favored Republicans in a 6-2 split.

The new 2025 map, which was used in the state primaries last month, favors Republicans in a 7-1 split by erasing Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City-based district, according to Politico.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the new map causes the least amount of confusion for voters this year because they have already used the map this year, but it allowed redistricting opponents one week to get relief from the Supreme Court.

"For approximately one year, Missouri operated under the 2025 map," the panel majority wrote. "During that time, Missourians filed to run for Congress, met candidates, watched campaign advertisements, received campaign mail and voted under the 2025 map.

"Any confusion stems from the last-minute decision by a state court to switch the congressional map," it added.

That's a little bit of good news to start this rainy day.

Lindsay Clancy's Lawyer Asks Judge to Investigate the "Rogue" Juror

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Boy, Gentry Leftists really don't believe any of the bullshit they say about Respeccing Black People's Lived Experience and Indigenous Ways of Knowing, do they?

Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, is asking the court to allow for a thorough investigation of the holdout juror ... including access to his phone records and a review of his 2021 criminal charge for allegedly assaulting his wife.

The attorney filed a document in court recently asking the judge to let his team see the confidential juror questionnaire and "Juror Doe's record from the statewide domestic violence registry."

Reddington is asking for the juror's mobile phone records -- calls, texts, and data from August 27 through September 4.

The time period covers the dates the jury was deliberating over whether Lindsay should be found guilty of murdering her three kids.

The request also asks the court to preserve all the jury notes and the court's responses.

The black man disagreed with white liberal women! THROW THE UPPITY DARKIE IN JAIL!

The Morning Rant: Chris Murphy...Retard!

—CBD

punk-monkey.jpg

Look up the term "Useful Idiot" in the dictionary, and it is illustrated with a photograph of Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.

Normally I would assume malign motives when a politician is so doctrinaire and so willing to spout the tedious and predictable progressive cant that can be summarized in a few sentences by any college sophomore, bong in hand, on a Saturday night in the dorms.

And I have no doubt that Chris Murphy is indeed an evil prick, but he is also in the running for the United States Senate Booby Prize for dumbest senator. How he plans to achieve the goal that even Cuba, China, and the UK struggle with is beyond me, but that doesn't stop him from babbling this incoherent nonsense!

Chris Murphy calls for 'regulating the internet' so people won't fall for a 'demagogue like Donald Trump'

"That's why regulating the internet so that you're spending less time alone on Instagram should be an important government project," he said. "And if people are feeling more powerful and less lonely, then they are going to be less likely to fall for a bulls--- demagogue like Donald Trump. And what I say in the book is that if you really think about the things that make you more connected and make you more powerful, they're not actually super partisan."

"...they're not actually super partisan." Obviously the transcript left off the "dude" at the end of the sentence. What exactly is Senator Retard proposing? AI monitoring of everyone's social media usage, with preprogrammed cutoffs in the event anybody reaches a predetermined number of views of right-of-center videos or reels or TikToks or whatever?

Why...Yes! That's exactly what he is proposing! And of course he and his other knuckle-dragging, booger-eating retard buddies in the Senate would pass "sensible" legislation mandating this.

That's not authoritarian...that is full-blown dictatorship, and little Chrissy of the small brain is all for it. These are the people who love FLOCK cameras and shouting down speakers on university campuses and dropping the charges against arsonists because they were "mostly peaceful" and cheering on the maniacs who saw Charlie Kirk's murder and shouted, "MORE!"

Our rights protecting us from government overreach are not negotiable, and pushing back against the constant encroachment by all government entities is a noble and necessary activity. Freedom and liberty are, by definition, messy in comparison to the locked-down society that these little Stalins crave.

As the saying goes..."The 1st Amendment is protected by the 2nd Amendment." That's not hyperbole...that is reality!

The Morning Report — 9/ 22 /26

—J.J. Sefton

HighMarx.jpg

Good morning kids. Welcome to the first day of Fall . . .

So let's start off with the end result and work our way backwards, just like our society!

On Sept. 10, 2026, one year from the date that Charlie Kirk was horrifically assassinated on the nearby Utah Valley University campus, Utah student Sara Larsen approached members of the campus College Republicans chapter while they were tabling on campus and attempted to hand them a cake celebrating Kirk’s annihilation. The white cake was decorated with blood red icing reading “Happy Kirkiversary.” In the eyes of the university, the public blowback Sara Larsen received over her “Happy Kirkiversary” cake was the fault of the College Republicans—because they posted a picture of it. The university was attempting punish the College Republicans for exposing Larsen’s public celebration of Charlie Kirk’s death.

Again, this is like blaming the Jews incinerated in the crematoria for the smoke conditions over Southern Poland.

And we get vermin like Sara Larsen from breeding grounds like UV U and now starting in pre-school!

More than half of US college students say controversial speakers should be banned from their campuses, with a record-high number adding that violence is acceptable to stop them, a disturbing study shows.

The results provide a dangerous and “sobering picture” of cancel culture on US campuses, according to the expansive six-year study of almost 300,000 college undergraduates nationwide by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

“The atmosphere isn’t just cautious — it’s hostile,” the study’s authors wrote. “Students continue to show low tolerance for controversial speakers, and troublingly, more believe it’s acceptable to shout down a speaker, block access to events, or even resort to violence to silence campus speech than ever before.”

The percentage of students who supported disruptive or even violent tactics to suppress controversial speakers meanwhile went up between 2021 and 2025.

An astonishing 34% of students nationally believe violence is acceptable to stop a campus speech, up from 20% in 2022. 

More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like.

The top 10 most intolerant campuses were predominantly in one state: Massachusetts, the survey added.

Conservative views are most under attack on college campuses, according to an interpretation of the data by the Missing Data Depot.

the immortal lyrics of Rogers and Hammerstein really hit home, don't they?!

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear
You've got to be taught
From year to year
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be carefully taught alright!

If you want evidence that teachers’ unions are nothing more than taxpayer-funded left-wing rackets, look no further than the evidence dug up by the Progressive Policy Institute — a group founded by centrist Democrats...So, what are these unions doing with all that money they collect if not fighting to fulfill their stated missions? Turns out, they are far more interested in getting Democrats elected and pushing far-left causes... This includes more than $2.4 million to the far-left Center for American Progress, $7 million to the Democratic Governors Association, nearly $26 million to the Democrats’ House Majority PAC and $32 million to the Senate Majority PAC. And, maybe because they figure it will cut down on class sizes, more than $400,000 to pro-abortion groups...Add it all up, and you have organizations that extort money from taxpayers to finance a protection racket for themselves, their Democratic patrons, and various far-left causes (which few taxpayers would support), while engaging in fraud by pretending to be looking out for the interests of public-school students. We’re not lawyers, but we’d say that classifies as a criminal racket under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

RICO Act and firing squads.


Yes we're at war but only one side seems to be taking all the casualties, our side!

Welcome to the new America; these are all socialist operations, diametrically opposed to the reconciling virtues of our nation’s founding as a constitutional republic. The “party” name Democratic no longer applies. We are at war, and our nation has become a thousand battlegrounds.

On all these uplifting notes, I bid you all to have a good day.

Race paranoids decided that a Korean sneaker ad must be a subliminal ad for KKK lynchings.

Here's an image from the ad:

converseshoead.jpg

SJWs have a bizarre notion of "evidence." They believe that if they can see something or "feel" something through vibes, that's positive proof that it is real and you intended to send that message, and also, you now owe them money or some other concession they can extract from you for "triggering" them.

Converse apologized and pulled a shoe ad last week that some claimed featured Ku Klux Klan imagery.

The ad, which has been removed from the Nike subsidiary's social media pages, featured K-pop singer Karina of the girl group aespa promoting the Chuck 70 X and Run Star Crush sneakers. In the ad, Karina held a pair of black high-top shoes under a star-shaped spotlight while wearing a long white skirt.

Several social media users asserted that Karina resembled a KKK member, with the shoes resembling a lynching victim. Critics included Rep. Troy Carter, D-La., who released a statement on the ad on Friday.

"Nike and Converse, what the hell were you thinking?" Carter said. "Your campaign shows what looks like a hooded Klansman, framed by what appears to be the dangling feet of a lynching victim. There is nothing creative or artistic about it. It is racist, reckless and deeply offensive."

Fuck you, Sally Sillycunt.

After facing backlash, Converse eventually pulled the ad and released a statement apologizing for the campaign.

"We're sorry. We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong. We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared. This should not have happened, and we will do better," the statement sent to Fox News Digital read.

Converse is a subsidiary of woke propaganda company (which also sometimes makes overpriced sneakers) Nike so I can't say I'm upset that they're being destroyed by the SJW customer base they cultivated.

This latest ad backlash comes as Nike is set to be removed from the S&P 100 after nearly 18 years, following its value dropping by more than $200 billion since 2021.

House Republicans say they have further questions for the Democrats' illegal foreign buckraking operation Act Blue.

House GOP investigators are warning that they are not done with ActBlue after a bombshell report fueled questions over whether the Democrat fundraising giant is accepting foreign cash and lying to Congress about it.

"Whether it's allowing fraudsters to steal taxpayer dollars or accepting illegal foreign donations through ActBlue, Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of fraud. Our investigation into ActBlue is far from over. We expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital.

...

Republican lawmakers have long accused the company of having lax verification standards for donors, something ActBlue has said it actively improved since the start of the GOP's probe. But new findings, first reported by Fox News Digital, appear to show employees green-lighting donations despite some questions about where they came from.

...

Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital on Friday, "ActBlue's own admissions raise serious questions about its fraud prevention practices, including a so-called passport verification process that did not actually verify or check entries against any government database. All options are on the table to ensure we get to the bottom of what is going on at ActBlue."

...

The Judiciary Committee revealed through a series of transcripts on Thursday that all 10 ActBlue employees and board members who appeared for closed-door depositions invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions.

...

The GOP report cited a letter by Wallace-Jones to Steil, which maintained that donations on the platform made by people with addresses outside the U.S. required a passport number for verification.

But the Republicans' report alleged that the verification "only ensures that the entered passport number contains a certain number of characters, not that it is a valid U.S. passport number," rendering it an essentially meaningless step.

College swimmer speaks out against the "moderate centrist" Abigail Spanberger for allowing male cheaters to compete in girls' sports.

Former Roanoke College swimmer Lily Mullens, who helped lead a public stand against a transgender athlete joining her women's team, is speaking out after Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's administration withdrew a proposed regulation intended to protect female-only sports and private spaces.

Mullens was one of three female swimmers who formally petitioned the Virginia State Board of Health to enact the regulation, along with Hungarian Olympian Réka György and former Roanoke teammate Carter Satterfield.

"Up until recently, due to Governor Youngkin's leadership, which was founded in truth, Virginia was making tremendous strides toward finally doing the right thing and protecting females by keeping men out of women's sports and spaces for good. However, under the new 'leadership' of Governor Spanberger, that progress has come to a screeching halt," Mullens told OutKick.

"By failing to be open with the public about her decision months ago, she is signaling to the people of Virginia that she does not care about the female athletes in this state and she is aware that she is going against what the people want. As a woman herself, I had hoped that she would understand the importance of this issue and the petition I signed a year ago, but I have been proven wrong.

Huh, a left-wing Democrat refused to be honest with the public about her extremist position on an issue. Well, now I've seen everything!

...

"The truth is, and always will be, that men and women are biologically different. Virginia had a leader who understood this fact and did everything he could to protect women. I am saddened and disappointed to see such hard work thrown away, especially by a woman."

...

György competed against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. The Virginia Tech swimmer finished 17th in the preliminary round of the 500-yard freestyle, one place outside the 16-swimmer finals field. Thomas advanced and went on to win the national championship.

A Finnish study has found that "gender transitions" do not, as claimed, improve the mental health of those receiving it.

In fact, psychiatric illness skyrockets 600% after "transitioning."

Kurt Mahlburg @k_mahlburg


A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.

The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.

A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.

Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out -- this is the complete national picture.

The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.

Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.

"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.

Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.

The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.

The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.

How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

A lawless lower court federal judge ruled that Oregon could not house trans "women" in men's prisons. Apparently there's a rule requiring individualized evaluations to determine if the "women" would be "harmed" by treating them as the sex they actually are.

The lawless rogue liberal judge said the prisons were not really evaluating the trans "women's" situations fairly. I assume he said this because some trans "women" were going to men's prisons, which he found intolerable.

Three Trump appointees told this Mary to get f***ed.

A Ninth Circuit appeals panel has reversed the lowly lower court judge.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel said a lower court had incorrectly ruled regarding how Oregon housed its transgender women inmates. All three judges on the panel were appointed by President Donald Trump, and they voted unanimously to strike down the order.

Some criticized the language in the panel's opinion as being harmful to transgender people.

Oh for the love of Pete.

Wednesday's ruling reverses a decision made in April, when U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke ordered Oregon to house transgender women inmates in prisons that align with their gender identity, and only after completing a safety assessment.

Appeals Court Judge Eric Tung authored the panel's opinion, saying Clarke had erred when he said the state had presumptively placed transgender women in men's prisons.

"That premise lacks record support and is clearly erroneous," Tung wrote. "The district court improperly disregarded the overwhelming contrary evidence presented by Defendants in favor of baseless speculation."

...

But the appeals court said that the plaintiffs had failed to prove that Oregon had acted with deliberate indifference to transgender inmates. Tung wrote that Clarke had relied on outdated evidence and failed to consider counter arguments presented by the state.

"Nor have Plaintiffs shown that Defendants acted in a uniform way with deliberate indifference toward each of the class members," Tung wrote. "At most, the record reflects that different officials acted in different ways toward different prisoners at different times."


A fuller article is here.

Despite some occasional claims that "nothing is being done," Trump has really done something on immigration.

The CPS [Current Population Survey] shows an unprecedented decline of 2.9 million in the total foreign-born population from January 2025 to July 2026.

As for the illegal alien population, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I estimate from CPS data that it has fallen by 2.3 million since January 2025--from 15.8 million at the start of the Trump Administration to 13.5 million through July 2026. By contrast, it had grown by an unprecedented 5.6 million during Biden's time in office. These estimates include adjustments for those the CPS missed.

Whistleblower: 99% of Asylum Claims Are Fake

—Disinformation Expert Ace

You don't say. You don't say.

David Strom:

Claims are floating around that 85 percent of the world's refugees are Muslim, and the UNHCR's response isn't "No, they're not," but rather, "A spokesperson for the UN's refugee agency UNHCR said the number of Muslim refugees is likely to be less than 85% of all refugees worldwide." Which is another way of saying "you're in the right ballpark." And those refugees aren't fleeing to Muslim countries.

In other words, it's an invasion, either for economic or political reasons, and according to a whistleblower at the Home Office in the UK, almost every "asylum seeker" is a fraud.

From The Times (UK):

Only one in 100 asylum claims are genuine, according to a whistleblower who has revealed widespread fraud and dysfunction in the system.

The Home Office official, who has worked for years as a decision-maker on asylum and has assessed thousands of claims, said asylum seekers from certain countries use the "same script" in what he and colleagues describe as "package claims".

He said he had encountered a large number of Iraqi Kurds claiming asylum who said they had been in a relationship with the daughter of the prime minister of the Kurdistan region. The official said it had become a "running joke" among colleagues that the number of Iraqi Kurds who said they were involved with the daughter was in the "hundreds".

He also said that "hundreds" of claims from Pakistanis were based on the assertion that they were in fear of their lives in their home country because of their gay relationship with the same man who had provided letters supporting their claims.

The source also disclosed suspicions about large numbers of Bangladeshi claimants purporting to be dissidents of the former governing party, which is now banned, even though they were unable to provide basic information about the group.

Strom believes this state of affairs might have something to do with AfD's rise and the CDU's collapse. Could be. Could be.

But you know who else opposed rampant immigration fraud?

Of Course: The 12 Left-Wing AGs Settle with Paramount/Skydance, Allowing the Merger, But Only With "Guardrails for CNN"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

So this many-million-dollar lawsuit was all about keeping CNN a hard-left propaganda outlet.

Note that four of the left-wing AGs are dropping out of the communist coalition to demand further concessions, so I can't say this deal is actually struck quite yet.

Done! Paramount Settles Antitrust Suit, Set To Seal Deal For Warner Bros. Discovery


UPDATED WITH MORE DETAILS: Paramount has settled an antitrust lawsuit brought by a dozen state attorneys general led by California's Rob Bonta, the last obstacle to closing its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Deadline has confirmed.

Specifics are still scant but will come when the deal is formally announced later this morning. There will be concessions. Deadline hears that Paramount has agreed to some CNN guardrails, financial penalties linked to CEO David Ellison's 30 movies a year commitment, and some sort of separation of the studios for a period.

They mean they want Warner Bros. to remain separated from Paramount/Skydance for a period, which I heard was two years. Usually mergers involve reducing corporate staff by combining the old staff and firing the now-redundant staffers. So this is a move to keep those jobs for a period.

Terms of the deal are said to include an investment of $1.5 billion for home-grown film production and protecting and creating jobs, along with requirements for additional domestic production if the federal government approves tax incentives. The settlement also provides for a $47.5 million workforce development fund and obligation to honor existing collective bargaining agreements.

By promising to create "domestic" or "home grown" jobs, do they mean just in California, or the United States? I assume the latter, but I'm not sure.

News of settlement talks began trickling out on Friday but four of the AGs in the group were subsequently described as holding out for more concessions from Paramount. The attorneys general of New York, Connecticut, Minnesota [Keith Ellison] and Nevada came around late Sunday, sources tell Deadline, after assurances from California's Bonta that he would hold Paramount's "feet to the fire" to ensure the company stuck to its commitments. He had said previously he preferred structural remedies like asset sales to resolve antitrust issues, rather than behavioral remedies, which require monitoring. ...

"It's jobs, job, jobs, that's what this all about," a source close to power players in Sacramento told Deadline.

Of course, with $6 billion in cost savings promised to investors, expectations remain for significant layoffs, though those details will become more clear in the coming days and weeks.

Paramount shares rose 9% on the news. WBD gained 10%, trading at about $30.50. The deal calls for Paramount to take out Warner stockholders for $31 a share.

We don't know yet what "guardrails for CNN" have been agreed to. What I would guess is that Paramount/Skydance agreed to keep current CNN management on for some period. Maybe 3-5 years or something. It obviously can't be forever.

Update: So now we know -- Paramount/Skydance agreed to appoint a board of liberals to monitor the management of both CNN and CBS.

To keep out "bias."

Boy oh boy, wouldn't want any bias creeping in to CNN or CBS!

More on the Jake Tapper Permanent Employment Treaty:

Under the agreement, Bonta announced that Paramount is legally required to distribute at least 30 movies in theaters annually and will face a financial penalty if it fails to do so.

The company also committed to spending an additional $1.5 billion on film production over the next five years, with a guaranteed increase in the proportion of movies produced within the U.S., specifically benefiting Hollywood, according to Bonta.

Wait, so is the deal to produce "home grown" jobs in the US or in the Hollywood area? That seems to claim both or either.

Additionally, Paramount agreed to establish an independent board of journalists to oversee the newsrooms of CNN and CBS News to preserve editorial integrity and prevent consolidated corporate bias, Bonta said.

Independent journalists may include Dan Rather, John Harwood, Jim Sciutto, and Don Lemon. I'm making that up but I'm sure that's who the left has in mind.

Oh, and why not add Tater to the board, too!

Nikole Hannah-Jones, Who Is Unaccountably Wealthy Due to Being a DEI Race Grifter and History Hoaxer, Sent Her Kids to Poor-Performing Schools As a Political Race Stunt

—Disinformation Expert Ace

This grifter created a fraudulent, and now debunked, narrative that Americans declared independence from England not for freedom or political sovereignty but for the only thing the race grifters know about history, slavery.

Because she's a Stronk Empowered Woman of Color who pushes Jason Arday-level fictions, the left made her rich.

Although actually -- she grew up fairly well-off too.

So she could have sent her kids to good schools. Or she could have paid for private schools.

Instead, she sent her kids to the poor-performing public schools in Brooklyn out of a deranged sense of racial solidarity.

Her kids suffered for her ideological derangement.

In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?

A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter's education that I hoped would challenge New York City's separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice.

...

"Did you know my school was bad like this when you decided to put me here?" [my daughter] asked.

My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I worked to keep my face neutral, buying a few moments to gather my thoughts.

Now thinking of applying to competitive colleges, she googled her high school's rankings to estimate what her chances would be of getting into an Ivy League school.

She found out her mother had deliberately sent her to a shithole school.

Najya's shock had turned to boiling, and the seatbelt had barely clicked before she was confronting me.

I had braced myself for this moment, spent nearly a decade expecting it, preparing for it. When Najya was entering pre-K, my husband, Faraji, and I decided to send her to the type of school that wealthier families with choices uniformly avoid -- one that is low-income and mostly Black. Our decision had been informed by values shaped by my years of reporting on the enduring and too often seemingly hopeless battle for school integration.


...

In New York, a combination of housing segregation and "academic" sorting, called school choice, that begins as early as pre-K means most Black students -- even middle-class ones -- are forced to attend racially segregated schools with high rates of poverty.

Note that this Race Communist had gone to a good school, but denied this to her daughter.

Being given access to the most resourced public schools in my hometown allowed me to flourish academically, and I am convinced that the integrated education my husband and I received set the foundation that has allowed us to become the successful upper-middle-class family that my daughter was born into.

We are both beneficiaries of educational opportunities that were forced into existence by generations of Black parents willing to put their most personal stake -- their own children -- in the fight for school equality for all Black children.

...

And yet decades later, integration now exists for a minority of Black children -- usually those born to families like ours who have the money to pay for private schools or live in tonier ZIP codes zoned to heavily white public schools, or who can pay for tutoring that allows their children, from a very young age, to test into programs for "gifted" students. Most Black students, however, languish in the type of schools that the law was supposed to have eradicated.

So, like the generations of Black parents who came before us, Faraji and I felt an obligation to make educational decisions based on the collective good and not just our individual advantage. New York is considered one of this nation's most liberal cities, while operating a school system that is among the most racially segregated. This segregation exists because policymakers and affluent parents -- even those who profess a belief in integration and equality, -- shed their advocacy at the schoolhouse door and refuse to take or support any substantial action to integrate the city's schools. Faraji and I decided that our role in this struggle meant upending the status quo and sending our child not to a wealthy white school but to a poor Black one.

...

We thought by sending Najya to a mostly low-income and Black school, we could help improve it for all the children there.

LOL, she thought that her daughter's mere presence would improve the school.

This sounds like a lie. It sounds like she sent her daughter to a shit school to boost her own career by proving how Blackety Black she was, and is now trying to justify that selfish choice.

I hadn't intended at first to write about our decision. But a few months into the academic year, P.S. 307 became embroiled in an integration battle when parents protested the reassignment of their children from a wealthy and predominantly white school to ours. It felt impossible for me not to weigh in.

See? There was a school controversy on the Upper West Side -- I assume this is the case of school that resisted having minority students air-lifted in; leftwing Daily Show cow Samantha Bee was one of the many white liberals fighting it -- and so she ax-grinded about it.

And having put herself on the record, she had to show she was no hypocrite, so she dumped her daughter into a shit school.

In 2016, I wrote an essay in this magazine called "Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City," about our experience in a system in which educational inequality was widely accepted. Our daughter, then a kindergartner with Afro puffs, a plaid school uniform and Jordan-clad feet, appeared on the cover.

The piece struck a chord in a way I could not have predicted. Readers flooded my inbox and posted hundreds of comments. Producers invited me for interviews, book publishers came calling and I was asked to speak all over the country by communities and institutions grappling with the issue of school segregation. The essay spurred community meetings in places near and far; and in New York City, it helped ignite parent and student activism around a subject that had largely disappeared from public discourse. Even a decade later, parents still share with me how my essay led them to make similar educational decisions for their children.

In the outside world, my choice had earned me valor. And yet that day, under the withering glare of my daughter, the words that I was formulating sounded hollow to my ears even before they passed my lips.

Virtue signalling by harming your children.

Now she gaslights her daughter:

"Your school is not bad," I told her, modulating my voice. "What are you talking about?"

Najya grew agitated. "You know what I am talking about. We looked up our school! We saw the test scores. We saw the ratings." She ticked off the school's below-state average reading and math scores, and that it ranked poorly on a popular school-rating website. I said I was aware of her school's academic rankings, but that test scores alone do not define a school.

Glancing between her and the road, I told her everything that I had said a hundred times on stages, in interviews, in discussions since I had made her a symbol of how the choices we make can help sustain -- or dismantle -- educational inequality. I talked about the deep inequality in New York's schools and how, like those Black families who came before us, we had an obligation to be part of the struggle of our larger community. Even if her schools were not academically the strongest, I explained, her father and I knew that we could provide for her tutoring and any other assistance to make up for what her school may have lacked.

But my child just shook her head, her face a mask of disbelief, and something else: betrayal.

"So you had money to send me to one of the best schools, and you chose not to?" she said, hurling her words. "Because other kids are disadvantaged, you didn't want to put me in a great school?"

Najya was asking what I'd accomplished by not choosing the "best" school for her. And the honest answer is, I don't know. When it comes to the choices my husband and I have made about public education, these days I feel that I failed both my values and my child.

Yeah, you did. You are a deranged, bitter, racist, narcissistically evil cunt.

By the way, this article is about 4,000 words long. It's an epic. I can only assume she digs herself deeper into a hole of self-justification and ego as it goes along, but that will remain an assumption on my part, because I can't read this evil racist's defense of child sacrifice any longer.

Rich Lowry @RichLowry

It's bad enough that Nikole Hannah-Jones sacrificed her child's education to her racial ideology, but she experienced the dismal results--and *learned literarily nothing from the experience*.

You'd think she'd be radicalized against the teacher unions and the complacent, self-serving NYC education bureaucracy--which is run by people who agree with her politically--but apparently it doesn't even occur to her.

If there's one lesson she should have taken from this experience, it's that consequential decisions about your child's future shouldn't be driven by an obsession with racial solidarity.

That's not how the NYC white and Asian parents that Hannah-Jones scorns think about educational decisions--overwhelmingly, they simply don't want the prospects of their children blighted by scandalously incompetent schools.

They freak-out if their kids aren't getting homework, if the lunch period is unsupervised mayhem, etc., not as part of a conspiracy to leave behind black kids, but out of a intense focus on their duty as parents to see that their own children are getting the best education possible.

Nikole Hannah Jones clearly could have learned a lot from them.

Trump Announces Ban on CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from White House Press Room

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Trump goes off.

President Donald Trump on Monday defended his decision to ban three news networks from the White House, characterizing his actions as a crackdown on "fake news" and not an attack on the free press.

...

"The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America," he posted on Truth Social. "It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW!"

Have you heard of Natalie Harp? If not, you haven't been paying attention to CNN and MSNOW and the Fake News Outlets. She's Trump's personal aide, and she's pretty, blonde, and reportedly very loyal.

So of course Democrats and the Democrat-Media began suggesting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Trump is having a sexual affair with her.

This is really going to set off the Fake News Media: Reportedly, it was Natalie Harp who shared clips of the fake news coverage of these outlets that prompted Trump to ban them.

Natalie Harp, a close aide to President Donald Trump, reportedly showed him a series of media clips before he moved to ban CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, CNN reported, citing "people familiar with the matter."

...

Harp, for her part, has been in the news recently, with the media focusing on her intense loyalty to the president. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., kicked off speculation about their relationship when he mentioned her in a campaign speech.

The Fake News Outlets are now suing, and the rest of the left-wing propaganda networks are suspending coverage of the White House in solidarity with their fellow propagandists.

Major television networks agreed on Monday to suspend their pooled coverage of President Donald Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative.

The decision escalates a showdown between the Trump administration and the legacy media outlets following Trump's decision to ban MS NOW, CNN and Politico reporters from entering the White House, the New York Times reported.

Those networks plan to file a lawsuit against Trump over the ban.

For years, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC have shared television coverage of presidential events, pooling the financial costs and distributing the footage that is aired by news organizations globally. The networks perform these duties on a rotation, and CNN had been scheduled to cover Trump's travel to the United Nations General Assembly on Monday.

Here is some of the work of these totally unbiased outlets:

AfD Wins Another Regional Election in Germany; Ruling Chancellor's Party Collapses So Badly It Fails to Win a Single Seat in the Regional Parliament

—Disinformation Expert Ace

CDUfalls.jpg

The SPD are the socialists.

Parties need to garner at least 5.0% of the vote to get one seat. The "center-right" party -- now really a left-wing party due to endless coalitions with the left -- won about 4.9%.

Chancellor Merz admitted this is a "disaster"

Don't get excited -- AfD failed to win an outright majority and the far left did almost as well. Thanks to the usual "firewall" f***ery, all of the left-wing parties will join in a coalition to exclude the top vote-getting party completely.

Still: The trend.

German papers are calling this the "Merzpocalypse."

Axios:

Far-right AfD wins again as Germany's Merz slides

Germany's ruling center-right party, Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union, was shut out of a state parliament for the first time Sunday as the far-right Alternative for Germany scored its second victory this month.

Why it matters: The result marks the third state election AfD has won -- and its second this month -- underscoring its growing strength even as Germany's other major parties refuse to govern with it.

Driving the news: Merz, who has low approval ratings, told reporters that "reforms have to come."

By "reforms," he does not mean that the CDU will embrace the AfD's winning issue of immigration realism.

He means that the CDU will join with the communists to ban the AfD and further restrict speech so that no one can publicly agitate for immigration realism.

AfD won about 38% of the vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, while the CDU recorded its worst result in any German state election since World War II. The CDU fell from 13% to 4.9% and lost all representation.

In Berlin's state election, the Left more than doubled its vote share to 25.7% and finished first for the first time.

Flashback: AfD won its first state election in Thuringia in 2024, though other parties kept it out of government because they refused to enter into a coalition.

They refuse to enter coalitions (when they're asked at all) because the other parties refuse to cede ground on the only issue AfD is running on. They want the AfD's support without giving the AfD any actual ground on their main issue.

Earlier this month, it won 43.8% in Saxony-Anhalt, but fell just three seats short of a majority. It is now seeking enough outside support to form Germany's first far-right state government since World War II.

Vice President JD Vance met with AfD's co-leader days before last year's federal election and told the Munich Security Conference there was "no room for firewalls," referring to mainstream parties' refusal to govern with the AfD.

...

Germany's domestic intelligence service continues to monitor AfD nationally as a suspected extremist organization. A court in February blocked the agency from classifying the entire party as a confirmed right-wing extremist organization while a broader case proceeds.

The anti-migration party calls for "remigration" -- large-scale deportations and encouraging immigrants to leave. It also wants to abandon the euro, lift Russian sanctions and end weapons deliveries to Ukraine.

Merz says he has no intention to resign, but others are demanding he step aside to allow another cuck to fail.

BERLIN -- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday pledged to overhaul his party's platform and decision-making processes after suffering another humiliating election defeat, calling the result a "major turning point."


...

"It is a dramatic and unprecedented result for the CDU ... an entire state parliamentary caucus has been eliminated from the state legislature," Merz told reporters Monday at his party's headquarters in Berlin. "We will feel its repercussions for a long time," he added.

Party officials had warned that an outcome below 5% for the CDU in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania would unleash a storm of criticism and renew calls for a change in leadership, or Kanzlertausch.

But Merz is clinging to power -- for now.

Unless he steps aside voluntarily, forcing a leadership change risks triggering a snap election at a time when polls show the far right to be the country's most popular party -- making such a move unlikely for the time being. That could quickly change if party members begin speaking out against him.

That's why Merz has vowed to chart a new course for the CDU, announcing consultations in the coming days to unite the party's rank and file behind him.

...

"We will discuss the party's work and structure, our platform, and the CDU's public image," he said. "To be frank, we no longer have satisfactory answers to too many questions. And that is something we will and must change."

Here is the change he's considering.

During a meeting with science students, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz openly derided the principle of freedom of speech and defended the need for the state to "protect" citizens from American-style libertarianism on the internet.

What would have typically been an unremarkable photo-op for the increasingly unpopular German leader drew condemnation over a major gaffe (read: accidentally revealing his true feelings) as Merz held court at the Chancellery with the winners of the 'Youth Researchers' competition on Tuesday.

When pressed by a young student on whether his plans to end online anonymity would impede personal liberties, Chancellor Merz reacted indignantly, declaring: "Please, no one comes to me with free speech... That has nothing to do with free speech anymore."

The supposedly conservative politician -- who made sure to use English when repeating the phrase "free speech" as if to mock the very concept -- said that he rejects the "libertarian understanding of politics," which he claimed emanates from the United States.

Merz said that his vision of a liberal society was rather one in which the state steps in to protect citizens "from false information, from personal degradation, from discrimination" on the internet.

The Chancellor complained that in the "analogue world" of his youth, German newspapers were liable to face legal action for spreading false claims, but this is no longer possible with the advent of anonymous social media profiles, and thus the media landscape lacks "hygiene".

He also asserted that anonymity allows the proliferation of bot-generated messages, which he claimed were instrumental in helping the Alternative for Germany (AfD) trounce his globalist Christian Democrats in the Saxony-Anhalt state elections earlier this month.

Yet, it is doubtful that any amount of censorship from Berlin would bolster the Chancellor's faltering coalition government, which rumours suggest may be on its last legs.

That article was from five days ago.

Beege Wellborn:

[Bloomberg:] "We can't sugarcoat it, it was a disaster," Merz told reporters in Berlin in a statement earlier directly after exit polls were released, breaking with a past practice for chancellors to speak the day after an election. He gathered senior CDU officials to party headquarters, where he sought to gauge their support for his leadership.


The far left party Der Linke, which just means The Left, was fueled, of course, by the Karen Vote.

And as with Mamdani's win in New York, Die Linke's victory was driven almost exclusively by young voters and women coming out for the communist/socialist parties.
Visegrád 24 @visegrad24

This is how people under the age of 25 voted in the Berlin regional election tonight.

71% of women under 25 voted for the far-left, the left or the Greens.

51% of women under 25 voted for the party that is the direct, legal and organizational successor to communist party that ruled East Germany as a dictatorship between 1949 to 1989.

But are they really the Karens we're used to? Or New Foreign Karens?

Jo Bhakdi @JOBhakdi


Germans wonder how young people , especially women , could vote majority communist in Berlin.

They wonder what went wrong : do they not have a dad ? Don't they think? Don't they have loyalty to their country?

But those who ask these questions picture the wrong "young women" in their mind.

Yes, they have a dad. Yes, they are deeply loyal to their country. But neither their dad nor their country are German.

Young people with a migration background make up nearly 50% of all children and teenagers living in Berlin.

The new version of the communist parties in Sweden and Germany are not delusional white female liberals. They are clan-connected invasion machines.

They are not dumb, they are not naive, they are not pampered.

They are brutal, determined and ready to plunder.

And if you were a young woman in that crowd, you also would vote communist. Because you want to live.

Eesh. In 15-20 years almost every country in Europe will be Islamic and Communist.

How are you? Did you get some good rest in?

THE MORNING RANT: Trump Executive Order Targets Employers that Lay Off American Citizens to Hire Foreign H-1B Labor

—Buck Throckmorton

No H-1B.png

There was great news over the weekend, as President Trump just issued an Executive Order to combat H-1B abuses, and to hold accountable those employers who terminate American employees and then replace them with foreign H-1B labor.

The H-1B issue has become a major political issue, with growing disgust among the American public about employers bringing non-citizens from foreign countries to the states for the purpose of displacing American workers. As I have previously documented, the appeal of H-1B labor for those abusing it is usually for one of the following reasons:

1) It’s a form of chattel labor, in which the H-1B worker is paid less than American prevailing wages, creating a de facto indentured servant relationship, because the H-1B employee may not seek other employment.

2) A way for those of an anti-American bent to provide employment in the United States to preferred foreign demographics.

There are a disgusting number of stories to be found about corporations laying off American citizens to replace them with foreign H-1B labor right here on American soil. Microsoft is one of those dishonorable companies:

“Fury erupts as US brand fires 1,600 employees after securing thousands of foreign worker visas” [Fox News – 7/09/2026]

Microsoft announced that it will lay off 4,800 people total and 1,600 from the corporation's XBOX division, which makes and sells the dominant video game console. Meanwhile, Microsoft has been approved this year to hire from foreign countries 2,273 employer-sponsored, non-immigrant workers under what is known as the H-1B visa program.

The business fad of replacing American employees with foreign chattel labor had become so “respected” that even the semi-public TVA utility tried to do this a few years ago – until President Trump got wind of it. Then-CEO Jeff Lyash thought it would be clever to find “cost savings” by laying off American citizens. Apparently cost savings helped justify his $8 million compensation. Even worse, Lyash made the laid-off employees train their foreign replacements – the corporate term was “knowledge transfer.” President Trump was so angry that he fired several TVA board members, including the chairman, for allowing this to happen, and for not immediately firing Lyash. Donald Trump takes H-1B abuse seriously.

Disney also engaged in the despicable practice of making employees train their own H-1B replacements before dismissing them: “It’s Not A Small World After All: Disney IT Employee Trains His Own H-1B Replacement Then Gets Laid Off” [The Dallas Express – 4/27/2026]

It’s often a condition in these situations that if the employee being let go wishes to receive a severance package, he must first train the indentured servant H-1B who is taking his job.

Ideally, the president wouldn’t have to address the H-1B mess with executive orders if Congress would do its job. Unfortunately, there is a solid bi-partisan majority in Congress in favor of replacing American labor with foreign labor, specifically:

1) Democrats who despise the United States, its people, and its heritage; They therefore seek to aid foreign nationals (and their homelands) at the expense of Americans.

2) Corporate / Chamber of Commerce Republicans who have embraced slavery-adjacent forms of labor in their quest to reduce labor expense to as close to $0 as possible.

It is tiresome that those of us who oppose the H-1B replacement of American workers are branded as “racist” by Democrats, RINOs, and the media. I’d like to push back and ask how it’s not racist that 70% of all H-1Bs come from just one country – India. Is it not racist that hiring managers trying to hire for “jobs Americans won’t do” look almost exclusively to India?

America’s adversary, the People’s Republic Of China, provides another 12% of all H-1Bs. A whopping 82% of all H-1Bs come from India and Communist China.

Returning to the specific subject of today’s post, here is what President Trump’s new Executive Order entails:

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.
