Twenty Five Years After 9/11, Most Have Forgotten -- and the Children Who Were Born After the Terrorist Attack are Being Taught That Muslims Were the Victims and Americans the Racist Aggressors

How on earth was this allowed to happen?

Hijacking history: Woke teachers offer twisted 9/11 lessons focused on 'Islamophobia' -- not 2,977 innocents killed

Only two US states legally require that 9/11 be taught in public schools -- and the void is being filled with twisted lefty lessons blaming America, downplaying Islamic terrorism and portraying Islamophobia as the real tragedy.

The hijacked history of America's darkest day has created a lost generation. According to one shocking new study, two-thirds of American Middle East studies professors say college kids cannot identify who attacked the US on Sept. 11, 200,1 or why.

New York requires schools to observe a moment of silence on Sept. 11 and the state Board of Regents includes teaching about the attacks in social studies standards, but the state has no standard curriculum covering the attacks.

Only Arizona and Florida mandate that the 9/11 attacks be taught in schools. Ten states have statutes that encourage teaching about the attacks -- which could mean anything from a moment of silence, classwork, or a school assembly, according to an August University of Wisconsin Study.

"We made a promise to 'Never Forget', but today, only a handful of states require 9/11 to be taught in their schools," Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R- Long Island), who is pushing legislation to mandate 9/11 curriculum be taught in all 50 states, told The Post.

In the absence of mandatory standards, leftist activists -- some backed by billionaire George Soros -- are producing lesson plans filled with woke distortions of the attacks, even in New York City schools, according to an analysis from the North America Values Institute, an education watchdog.

"Teaching Beyond September 11th" -- a radical retelling of 9/11 that devotes a single paragraph to the horrific attacks and fails to refer to the murderous Islamic extremists as terrorists -- focuses lessons on "Right-Wing Extremism" and "Islamophobia and the Oval Office."

The curriculum was developed by the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education, and includes this passage: "On the 11th of September 2001, 19 hijackers flew two airplanes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, one airplane into the Pentagon in Virginia, and a fourth into a field in Pennsylvania. A total of 2,996 people were killed, including the hijackers."

Never forget, the hijackers were the First Victims on 9/11.

Education departments in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Oregon all recommend "Teaching Beyond September 11th" in public schools.

The lesson does not provide the radical Jihadist motivations of the terrorists, and appears to equivocate on whether al-Qaeda mastermind Osama Bin Laden was behind the attacks.

"The US accused Saudi national Osama bin Laden, living in Afghanistan at the time, of being the mastermind behind the attacks," the lesson states, without mentioning bin Laden's multiple confessions or his broader campaign of terrorism and declaration of Jihad against the US -- which he labeled the "worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind."

Other topics in "Teaching Beyond September 11th" include "Surveillance of Muslims," "The Muslim and African Ban," and "Muslim Youth and Resistance."

The Real Victims.

Oh, and I enjoy Muslim Youth and Resistance -- in other words, justifying Muslim violence on college campuses as heroic "resistance" against Jews trying to get to class without being spat on or punched.

A lesson on the 2005 riots over a Danish cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad -- which caused the deaths of 250 people globally -- asks students to discuss how the media "presented certain values as more important than the fact that the cartoons were offensive and racist."

Zineb Riboua, a Research Fellow at the Hudson Institute, told The Post that the attempts to rewrite 9/11 history was part of a broader leftist project.

....
The NEA, the national teachers labor union, provides resources for teaching 9/11 that quotes radical anti-Israel professor Edward Said calling the US "cruel and inhumane" and blaming the 9/11 attacks on America's support for the Jewish state.

The Voices Ethnic Studies curriculum used in Pittsburgh public schools teaches that the attacks led to "increased experiences with racism and Islamophobia," with no mention of how many people were killed or by whom.

A California ethnic studies curriculum reportedly stated that "9/11 served as a catalyst to bring about more blatant discrimination" and referred to America as a "colonizer."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations pushes 9/11 curriculum that accuses the US of "state-sanctioned Islamophobia" after the 9/11 attacks.

The woke propaganda appears to be having its desired affect, according to a damning new poll.

An overwhelming majority (66%) of American Middle East Studies professors believe that college students cannot correctly identify who the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks were or what its causes were, according to a poll released by the academic research nonprofit the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa.

The poll also finds that the historical hijacking is not limited to America's public schools. Two-thirds of Middle East Studies professors said that scholarly academic work actively runs cover for regimes, groups and ideologies that hate America, according to the survey of 470 respondents.

Not to be outdone, a woke NYC teacher has taken it upon himself to assign his students Osama Bin Laden's infamous "Letter to America."

Adam Feinberg, who teaches at Brooklyn's City Polytechnic High School, then has them answer questions based on the propaganda text, such as, "Why do you think Osama bin Laden hates Jews so much?"

Other questions include, "For what reasons does he believe that America is the 'worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind?'"

He also asks, "Find the word 'usury'. It means lending money with high interest rates. Why do you think Osama bin Laden disagrees with this?"

...

Feinberg, who made $113,394 in 2025, routinely disseminates his leftist ideology on social media, such as sharing a meme mocking assassinated conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk shortly after his death. Feinberg did not deny the worksheet belonged to him but declined further comment.

...

The goal of the curriculum is to "relate anti-Muslim racism/violence with other forms of racism and violence (e.g. Black Lives Matter; xenophobia, anti-Semitism etc.) in the United States and abroad," per its website.

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage

I kinda half-like Sydney Sweeney, but I am getting a little sick of this Jezebel Hussy.

Yes I know that makes me partially gay.

But still.

Madame, please put away your bosoms. I've seen them. We all have. Many times. They're becoming wallpaper. You are making boobs boring, and that I cannot abide.

The heartthrob and "Euphoria" star was looking to get everyone excited for the NFL season when she posed in her birthday suit with a variety of props that cover just enough to be legally distributed on airwaves.

"Think you know sports?" Sweeney said in the ad for Novig, a prediction market company also partnered with the New York Mets. "Prove it."

The camera then pans out to show that Sweeney appears to be fully nude, with only two footballs covering her chest.

"Novig is just sports," Sweeney says.

Among the riskiest shots, Sweeney sits atop a basketball hoop with a basketball on her finger tips and her hair falling over her breasts.

"You can trade this sport," Sweeney says.

"This sport too," she says while wearing soccer gear and a soccer ball held up by her feet.

She then lies on a felt billiards table and quips: "You can't trade this. I just look good here."

Sweeney is no stranger to controversial ads; she's previously sold soap for Dr. Sasquatch, where the soap was infused with her bathwater.

She's supposed to be a major movie star -- but she's acting like the most rancid, desperate OnlyFans e-girl.

I know many of your are naturally skeptical and demand evidence for everything I say, so here is your precious evidence, offered solely to appease the people saying "Cite?"

Ugh, Jennifer Lawrence.

The Doctor Who actor who played Rose Tyler's Soyboy Beta Cuck boyfriend "Mickey" on the show between 2005 and 2010 has been charged with multiple sex crimes, from sexual assault to peeping/spying to indecent exposure.

While the UK legal system did not offer any information on the nature of the investigation, rumors of the actor's behavior had been rampant for years already. In 2021, Clarke even sued the Guardian for libel for its story on the rumors of his history of sexual assault, based on claims from more than 20 women.

The actor sued, but during the trial, more than a dozen women testified against him and alleged that he sexually abused them, charges that he adamantly denied.

Clarke lost the legal challenge and was ordered to pay the newspaper around $4 million in court costs.

Next item: Inde Navarette exploded to the A list, or at least the B+ list, for her turn in Obsession.

Jeff Sneider, meanwhile, is an internet "scooper." What's a scooper? It's someone who passes around rumors about upcoming movies, like who's being looked at for a role or what a plot points might be in it. In other words, it's a job for idiots. 80% of true tips are just planted leaks by the studio, which wants free advertising, so the "scooper" can take no credit for that.

Meanwhile, most "scoops" are false, usually just some bullshit the "scooper" saw on Reddit (Doomcock gets accused of this) or, when there aren't any rumors to drive traffic, simply something the "scooper" made up entirely for clicks.

Anyway, this oxygen thief wrote to Inde Navarette demanding her attention and demanding she give him content for his fake job, and she, or more likely her PR team, didn't respond.

He was outraged that someone would blow-off an internet nobody dickbag and threatened her, telling her that he would begin reporting every nasty and sham rumor he heard about her unless she gives him the attention he deserves:

When someone ragged on him for being a complainy gay bitch, he responded that this wasn't a complaint -- it's a threat.

In other words, he's copping to a blackmail charge.

And he's so arrogant about it. He really thinks he's something. He really thinks his stupid "look up rumors on Reddit and then turn them into twitter posts" job is something to brag about.

And then he doubled down, not just on the blackmail, which he deems a legitimate tactic, but on how awesome he is for being a gay-ass internet movie nerd.

Victory Lap: Communist Jihadi Zohran Mamdani Does "Interfaith" Walk on 9/11, Which Ends at... Islamic Center

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Unbelievable.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New Yorkers of all faiths on Thursday participated in a tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Approximately 100 people joined the Children of Abraham Peace Walk, the New York Post reported.

The peace walk was created for people to "come together to remember those we've lost, and to recommit to our shared vision of safety in solidarity," according to an online flyer.

Muslims were the Real Victims of 9/11, you know. Zohran Mamdani has said so repeatedly, "centering" his own experience in being pulled out of class on 9/11 out of fear -- not reality, fear by a leftwing teaching staff-- that he might be "bullied."

I mean, that's the important thing. Not the 2,997 people killed by his cousins, but the fact that a left-wing AWFUL thought he might be briefly bullied.

Amid calls for him to skip the ceremonies altogether, Mamdani only came for the end of the commemoration at the Islamic Center of New York City.

The walk started at the Hebrew Union College before stopping by Judson Church, and then continued on to the Islamic Center, where Mamdani delivered remarks remembering the victims of 9/11 and thanking first responders for their service.

Fox News Politics
@foxnewspolitics

Rep. Mike Lawler is calling on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to skip the Sept. 11 memorial in Manhattan -- with a petition signed by over 100,000 people, led by 9/11 families, backing the demand.

Lawler ripped Mamdani as a "vile antisemite" who has "associated with people who believe America deserved 9/11," pointing to the mayor's ties to far-left activist Hasan Piker and others who have downplayed or justified the attacks. A petition from 9/11 families details Mamdani's praise of Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who was named as an alleged co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

The backlash comes as the nation prepares to mark 25 years since the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people -- and Republicans say Mamdani's presence would be an insult to the families and first responders who lived through it.

Lawler told FOX News: "From my vantage point, I don't think he should be there, and I think most New Yorkers agree that he should not be there. Certainly, the 9/11 families and the first responders believe he should not be there."

The petition from 9/11 families goes further than Lawler's comments. It details Mamdani's praise of Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj -- named as an alleged co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing -- and his endorsement of a candidate who described 9/11 as something "a couple of people did in the context of U.S. capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia."

That same candidate also expressed sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue.

Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger took aim at Mamdani as well, saying he shouldn't attend "until he can actually call out terror groups around the world for what they want to do to this country, and that includes Hamas."

NYPD Commisioner Jessica Tisch apparently has a frosty relationship with Mamdani, feeling that he -- get this -- celebrates terrorists instead of opposing them.

She passive-aggressively blasted those blurring the lines between heroes and terrorists. She didn't mention Mamdani by name, but most believe she meant him.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch blasts 9/11 revisionists blurring lines between heroes and terrorists

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch pointedly called Wednesday for "moral clarity" ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks -- decrying revisionists who blur the lines between heroes and terrorists.

Tisch made the remarks before a stone-faced Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other NYPD and city officials as they unveiled a new 9/11 Memorial Wall at One Police Plaza.

The wall -- which includes 469 new names, commemorating NYPD members who have died of Ground Zero-related illnesses -- preserves the unfathomable devastation from the attack on the World Trade Center towers and the heroism in response, Tisch said.

"Preserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity," she said, addressing an audience of 9/11 first responders' families.

"The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes," she said.

"Twenty-five years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction and shame on those who do."

The usually straight-shooting top cop left the specific culprits unclear. But the open-to-interpretation condemnation nonetheless set tongues wagging, particularly as Mamdani -- both the Big Apple's first socialist and first Muslim mayor -- leads the city through a politically fractious run-up to the terror attacks' quarter-century anniversary on Friday.

Several lefties in Mamdani's orbit have come under fire for their views on the attacks, notably online personality Hasan Piker, who previously said that "America deserved 9/11." Piker has since walked back his 2019 comments, saying that he meant US actions in the Middle East have a boomerang effect.

This might be what prompted her to blast Mamdani: Mamdani signed a bill to make 9/11 documents available to the public, and then gave this presentation pen to a lawyer for an Al Qaeda terrorist.

And just days before Tisch's remarks, she found herself smack in the middle of a controversy as Mamdani -- fresh off signing an executive order recognizing 9/11 -- asked her to hand a ceremonial pen to his chief counsel Ramzi Kassem, a civil rights attorney who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist.

Three attendees at the NYPD ceremony told The Post they snickered when Tisch made her remarks on "moral clarity," and perceived it as a dig.

"It definitely sounded like she took a shot at the mayor, especially after the pen incident last week," said one attendee.

Mamdani, for his part, didn't flinch as Tisch made her remarks.

NYPD officials didn't clarify at whom Tisch's remarks were pointed, when pressed by The Post.

The communist jihadi refused calls to skip the 9/11 services.

He wanted that Victory Lap.

Former Governor George Pataki says Mamdani's refusal to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada" means he should not attend the 25th anniversary memorial for 9/11 -- aligning with a petition against his attendance that over 100,000 victims' families have signed.

Pataki also called it "ridiculous" to say Mamdani is being excluded because of his faith. "Muslims have always been included... but it's different when you tolerate -- let alone encourage -- violence. Then you don't belong there. This is about the families." Not attending, he added, "would be a sign of respect for the suffering that the families still face 25 years later."

It has nothing to do with Zohran being Muslim, it has to do with:
- Zohran campaigning with Imam Siraj Wahhaj -- an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing
- Zohran rapping about his love for the Holy Land Five
- Zohran's inability to condemn Hamas
- Being funded by CAIR
- Zohran's intern Arzoo Malik who called for a Holy War through Jihad
- Zohran's meeting with the woman who is responsible for making being gay punishable by death in Uganda
- Zohran claiming that it is an "illusion" that Muslims can become New Yorkers and settle into the city
- Zohran defending Anwar al-Awlaki -- the terrorist cleric linked to 9/11, Fort Hood, the Underwear Bomber, and whose sermons inspired the Boston Marathon bombing
- Zohran campaigning with Hasan Piker who said that "America deserved 9/11"
- Zohran's imam ally Siraj Wahhaj who referred to Homosexuals as a "Disease of this society"

Below: the pen incident.

He actually made Tisch pass the pen to the terror lawyer.

David Asman
@DavidAsmanfox

From the NYPOST: After Mayor Mamdani signed the 9/11 documents, he gave Police Commish Tisch the ceremonial pen, and whispered, "Can you pass this?"

Tisch handed it to Mamdani's chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist with links to the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, and who had just snuck into the press conference.

She then hurried out of the room -- the first official to exit the press conference.

This childish, calculated display of passive aggression was missed by no one, and will not be forgotten by Tisch or by NYC's millions of 9/11 survivors.

The UK Branded Turning Point Members as Dangerous Right Wing Extremists, Claimed Leftists, On the Other Hand, Were "Moderate"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

They actually tracked and surveilled Turning Point UK members because they thought they were dangerous -- after a leftist killed Charlie Kirk. They feared they would agitate for "free speech," which is of course dangerous to a corrupt authoritarian and wildly unpopular regime.

They also complained that the "ERW" -- "extreme right wing" -- blamed Kirk's assassination on "the political left."

I am done with the UK. I am done with NATO.

If Russia invades, I'll agitate to send Russia additional weapons to finish the job.

Inside Britain's Counter-Terrorism monitoring of Charlie Kirk's 'Extreme Right-Wing' supporters

A leaked counter-terrorism memo reveals officials tracked Kirk's British supporters, warning they would "push pro-free speech narratives" -- while describing the Left-wing response as “moderate”

One year ago, Charlie Kirk was shot dead; the British government immediately got to work.

Following Kirk's murder, the Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU), a government counter-extremism and terrorism unit, began monitoring thousands of social media channels, gauging the reaction of what they describe as "Extreme Right Wing" (ERW) activists.

Published here for the first time, a memo generated by RICU reveals that officials assessed that "Extreme Right-Wing" activists, including Tommy Robinson, would use Kirk's assassination to "push pro-free speech narratives".

Counter-extremism agents assessed that Right-wing extremists would use Kirk's death to "encourage more radical action" and "abandon political moderation in favour of more radical political stances".

Meanwhile, RICU characterised the Left-wing online response to Kirk's assassination as "moderate" and largely "factual reporting", despite thousands of Left-wing activists celebrating the shooting.
...

A memo entitled 'RICU Event Response: Charlie Kirk Assassination' was circulated across Whitehall, including to officials in the Home Office, Foreign Office and Cabinet Office, as well as police officers, on 11 September 2025, the day after Kirk was shot.

The memo was classified as "Official Sensitive".

RICU assessed that American and British ERW audiences would present the murder as "a shared attack on the ERW movement and free speech activism more generally", and monitored the response of Turning Point UK, the British arm of Charlie Kirk's American organisation.

"There is nothing 'extreme' about 'pushing pro free speech narratives,'" said Sarah Rogers, the United States Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, who served as Kirk's attorney on First Amendment issues and has led the Trump administration's advocacy against censorship in Europe.

"That's why censorship by governments proves so unpopular."

Rogers added that in her judgment, the RICU report showed "blind spots" which "regrettably were not unique to the UK," pointing out now-discredited intelligence products rescinded by the CIA "show the same biases."

"Most glaringly, the memo describes the 'leftist' response as 'moderate,' despite describing the same leftists as 'celebratory' of Charlie's murder," said Rogers.

RICU is a government unit based in the Home Office that monitors and analyses terrorist and extremist content and supports government counter-terrorism communications.

This is the same unit that pumps out propaganda like "I'll Ride with You" after Muslims commit terrorist murders and also pushed covid hysteria to help the government control the population.

Founded in 2007, RICU has stirred controversy over its role in coordinating 'controlled spontaneity' campaigns in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, including pre-planned messaging, vigils and demonstrations intended to shape the public's response to terrorism.

For example, after an ISIS terrorist attack in 2014, RICU created an image of a Muslim woman wearing a hijab with a British flag, which was subsequently published on the front page of The Sun and other British newspapers.

The image was created because, according to a leaked document from the company RICU commissioned to make the image, "the UK authorities wanted to challenge ultraconservative and misogynistic interpretations of Islam".

...

"The dominant narrative within the ERW attributes responsibility for the assassination to the 'political left' and claims that it is part of a broader campaign of violence against conservatives and White Christians," the memo stated.

As thousands of left-wing accounts literally celebrated Kirk's murder and called for additional murders, including fresh assassination attempts on Trump.

I am done. Done.

I'm going to donate to left-wing NGOs that settle "migrants" in the UK.

To hell with them all.

THE MORNING RANT: EV Owners and Lessors Have a Problem - Heavily Depreciated EVs that Dealerships Won’t Take Off Their Hands at Any Price

—Buck Throckmorton

The failed “EV Transition” has led to a widespread suspension of electric vehicle manufacturing in the United States. Ford has discontinued its flagship F150 Conflagration Lightning, and it also mothballed an all-new plant that was intended to manufacture that unwanted electric pickup. Volkswagen suspended production of its only American-built electric offering, and GM is cancelling or postponing most of its electric offerings too.

But the nightmare isn’t over yet. There is still a great financial reckoning to come, due to all the lithium-ion albatrosses pushed on consumers over the past few years. Those who financed the purchase of their new electric vehicle will likely be woefully “upside down” when it comes trade-in time, because they’ll owe much more to the finance company than a dealer will offer for it in trade. There’s a good chance a dealer will not make a trade-in offer on an EV at any price. For those EV customers who were put in leases, the manufacturers’ finance companies are about to take a bath when those vehicles go to auction and don’t bring anywhere near the amount of the contracted lease-end residual value.

Whether the original owner of the EV is an individual or a leasing company, they will likely face a financial bloodletting trying to make the car go away. Horror stories are mounting.

Because Audi dealers are struggling to sell their new “e-tron GT” electric vehicles - despite heavy manufacturer incentives and discounting - those dealers have little interest in purchasing used e-tron GTs that are coming off lease, and certainly not for the original lease-end value. So, Audi is offering to pay the current drivers $10,000 to stay in the leased car they’re currently driving, because sending the car to auction would result in a much larger loss.

“Audi Is Paying Lessees $10,000 To Keep the EVs They Already Have” [Car Scoops – 2/26/226]

A recent Audi BEV Lessee Buyout Option Incentive sent to dealerships on September 1, reveals that current e-tron GT lessees are being offered a $10,000 discount to purchase their vehicle at the end of the lease term.

Dealers would be paid a small stipend for handling the paperwork, but Audi loses out on the sale of a new vehicle. When manufacturers offer leasing specials, the intent is for a customer to surrender the vehicle at lease-end to the originating dealership, at which time he is both car-less and in the perfect place to buy a replacement vehicle from the same manufacturer. Instead, Audi is forgoing a vehicle sale and paying a potential repeat customer not to buy a new car.

Mid-Morning Art Thread: 25 Years Later

—CBD

Falling Man
Richard Drew

It is an iconic photograph, and one that encapsulates the horror of September 11th and the 2,977 people who were murdered that day by Islam. And I use the word "murdered" very carefully. This man did not commit suicide in the conventional sense. He was presented with two awful choices, and I believe that he chose the option that gave him control over his death.

If you would like to read Kris's commentary about this photograph, here it is.

But there are other images that may be becoming more important: those that represent the West's response to the 1,400 year old war against it conducted by Islam.

This is Gaza, soon after the Arab savages rampaged through the Israeli border communities. This was the beginning of the Israeli response to Islamic barbarism, and it is an image that may need to be repeated thousands of times across the world by a united West if we are to defend 21st century Western civilization against the 7th century.

And...this is not to denigrate the man in the photo above; he made an awful choice, and I respect him for it, and pray that he is at peace. But remembering and solemnity and sadness should be only a part of our response, and a cold fury, as seen in the second photo must be included.

The Morning Report — 9/ 11 /26

—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. We are absolutely loaded with links and of course today being the 25th anniversary of 9/11 as is all too and painfully obvious the largest category far and away is about the events of that horrendous day. I'm sure we all remember where we were and what we were doing when we first heard the news. At the time, working as I was in both show business and the advertising industry, my time was divided between LA and NYC, and it was just after 6:00AM on the west coast when my father, of blessed memory, phoned me, and my first thought was "well here he is again calling to "use up his minutes before they run out" (remember those days?) until I heard him tell me to turn on the TV and that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Yes, what he had said stunned me but it was the tone of his voice that was the shocker. That is until I did as he said and saw the smoking hole in the first tower. I remember physically taking a step backward trying to process what I was seeing. Clear blue sky and the smoldering hole in the facade. My first reaction was accident and thinking Cessna. That is until watching in abject horror as the second jumbo jet zoomed in and struck the second tower. Then I yelled the word "WAR."

Whether fate, Divine providence or dumb luck, I would've been right in the WTC plaza as the planes struck. I was in NYC exactly a week before, and had a routine I stuck to, which was eating breakfast with my folks and then taking the subway from Forest Hills down to the WTC, where I visited the Century 21 department store, J&R music world and then a cigar store before ambling up Broadway or Church street to grab some breakfast before either heading back to Queens or to my office. There but for the grace of God. I had returned to LA a few days before the attacks despite my parents wanting me to extend my stay so I could be with them for Rosh Hashanah, which was a week later on the 18th that year.

I was lucky as were a few other relatives and friends of mine who had business in or very near the WTC that morning but somehow were prevented from being among the victims. Not so a classmate of mine who died a horrible and needless death that day.

Kathleen Moran was a Brooklyn native. The second-born from a big Irish family, she often hosted the whole family for gatherings at her Bay Ridge apartment. In her backyard she tended a garden patch of tomatoes, zucchini and more, which she jestingly referred to as “her crops.” Kathleen made memories with her nieces and nephews at birthday parties and on trips to Disney World, and maintained a network of close friends who accompanied her on her travels, whether on weekend road trips to the beach or a week’s sojourn to Italy. After 9/11, Kathleen’s family found a jewelry box in her apartment containing a medley of small items precious to her. Her 1977 class ring represented her years at Midwood High School, where she sang and acted in school musicals. A gold broach with emerald stones spoke to her Irish heritage, the home country of her parents. There were also three Christmas ornaments, commemorating her travels around the world. These were only part of Kathleen’s much larger collection of distinctive ornaments, enough to fill multiple trees during the holiday season, according to her sister Bernadette.

May sweet Kathleen's memory and indeed all of the victims' be for a blessing.

Switching gears completely, lest we forget who and what perpetrated this, it was ISLAM. Unfortunately even as the wreckage and ruins in lower Manhattan, the Pentagon and Shanksville PA we, that is to say the powers that be not only forgot but did their best/worst and continue to do so in covering up for the evil beasts who perpetrated this and those who cheered and continue to cheer it on.

9/11 Was The Beginning Of A Religious War That We Lost. . . We thought religion had no real influence on peoples and cultures, so we failed to recognize the religious nature of the conflict... Today, it’s easy to see just how naive and shallow Ambrose’s analysis was. The idea that there would be no more major ideological conflicts, or that Western civilization had nothing to fear from competing cultures and peoples, was positively delusional.. . At the dawn of the 21st century, no one could possibly take religion seriously, or think that medieval religious disputes had any relevance in the post-Cold War world that was taking shape. Then 9/11 happened. But instead of shattering this delusion, great efforts were made to shore it up. This proved difficult (but not impossible) because the leaders of al-Qaida were obviously motivated by religious beliefs, and said so repeatedly.

I was comforted/heartened for perhaps a nanosecond or so when Dubya proclaimed in the bullhorn that the perpetrators would "hear from all of us," but then he declared that we were in a war on "Terror." Right then and there I knew we were screwed.

And as for the estimable John Daniel Davidson, 9/11 was not the beginning of a "religious war," As Islam has been at war with the Civilized world since its inception nearly 1500 years ago. It seeks the death of unbelievers in its quest to conquer the world in order to make it Islamic in its entirety. And the Shiite part of Islam believes that bringing about Armageddon will make that happen, with them at the top of the heap for all time. So, regardless of how you think President Trump is handling the war with Iran, the leading Shiite nation state, that he is actively doing whatever he can to prevent them from obtaining the nuclear weapons to bring about Armageddon is absolutely the right thing to do, higher gasoline prices for a while being an acceptable price to pay.

Switching gears yet again, I draw your attention to the lead photograph which was the view from my former apartment in NYC when my wife lived there before we met. It was taken not long before 9/11. And she was getting ready for work when the Towers were hit and collapsed. So on that day and for several weeks to follow she was breathing in the air. Now 25 years on, during treatment for what we think is an unrelated neurological issue, the doctors discovered scarring on her lung due to potential asbestos exposure. Oh joy oh bliss.

Anyway, that's all I've got the energy for on this terrible anniversary.

Have a good day. And God Bless all the victims and their families, as well as our first responders and the military for all their sacrifices on that day and in the wake of the attacks, from Iraq and Afghanistan all the way to Epic Fury.

Death to Islam and to those who are allied with it who seek our destruction. May we see all of them wiped out in our lifetimes, so that we may actually have a lifetime to live in freedom and in service of the Lord and our fellow human beings. Amen.

Have a great weekend.

One year ago today - we lost Charlie Kirk

From Turning Point USA

One year ago, our founder, our leader, and our friend, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated while doing what he had devoted his life to: standing before young Americans and challenging them to think, to speak, and to have the courage to stand for what they believe.

There are no words that can adequately describe what this past year has been like.

We have had to learn how to carry on without the person who was at the center of everything we do. We have celebrated milestones that Charlie should have been here to celebrate. We have stood on stages where his voice should have been heard. We have watched his children grow without their father there to see it. And we have felt the weight of his absence in ways that never seem to get easier.

For the people who knew and loved Charlie, September 10 will never simply be an anniversary. It is the day our lives were changed forever.

***

We miss him.
We grieve him.
And we will never forget him.

One year later, Turning Point remains committed to carrying forward the work Charlie began.

For Charlie. Always.

***

One year ago, we tragically lost a fearless patriot. A champion for freedom and for our country.

Charlie Kirk changed the course of American history. His courage, conviction, and love of country will never be forgotten. ❤️

Costa Rican man, 119, seeks recognition as world's oldest person

In a modest wooden home in Sardinal, about a 20-minute drive from Costa Rica's Pacific coast, Jose Flores spends his days napping, eating meals prepared by his granddaughter, and arm-wrestling ​with her.

His family and official records indicate that he is 119 years old, which would make ‌him the world's oldest man, though international verification of his birth date is still pending as specialists review historical documents.

***

As the validation process continues, Flores' family is awaiting an answer ​that Hellen Flores said would carry meaning beyond their own household.
"It would be a ​source of pride, ⁠both for the family and for the country," she said.
Flores had eight children and now has 23 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.
The world's oldest living person is Ethel Caterham of Britain. Born on August 21, 1909, in Hampshire, England, ⁠she ​turned 117 in 2026. She was recognized as the world's oldest living ​person after Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas died in April 2025.

Fossilised dinosaur poo contains stunningly preserved feather

A piece of fossilised dinosaur poo contains one of the best-preserved feathers from the dinosaur age.

A palaeontologist found the feather by chance while looking for fish fossils.

Researchers said the discovery, published today in Current Biology, might provide clues about why today's birds are the only dinosaur group that survived mass extinction.

Lead author Jingmai O'Connor, associate curator of fossil reptiles at the Field Museum in Chicago, said there might be more hidden feathers inside fossilised faeces, known as coprolites.

"This is the first-ever feather in a coprolite … and it probably would not have been found if it wasn't for a lucky break," Dr O'Connor said.

Largest bluefin tuna ever caught on rod and reel snagged off San Diego coast

Good catch!

Fishermen in San Diego were stunned to catch a nearly 500-pound bluefin tuna this week — sending the local fishing community into a frenzy.

“We both got a look at it, and we didn’t even say anything,” Markus Medak of Shearwater Fishing, who snagged the prize catch with the help of another, unnamed fisherman, told Fox 5.

That’s the largest bluefin ever caught on rod and reel, according to Medak.

The record-breaking fish was brought to Tommy Gomes’s Tunaville Market and Grocery in Point Loma, which sells to local restaurants.

The Van Winkle Family Announces the 2026 Release of Its Annual Whiskey Collection

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery and Buffalo Trace Distillery today announced that the 2026 Van Winkle Whiskey Collection is on its way, once again delivering one of American whiskey's most sought-after and closely watched annual releases.

Produced in highly limited quantities, the collection represents four generations of Van Winkle whiskey-making tradition and decades of patience, with six aged expressions ranging from ten to twenty-three years. The 2026 collection includes Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade Bourbon 10-Year-Old, Van Winkle Special Reserve Bourbon 12-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 15-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 20-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 23-Year-Old, and Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13-Year-Old.

***

The Van Winkle family’s legacy in American whiskey dates more than a century, beginning in the late 1800s when Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle, Sr. started his career with Louisville’s W.L. Weller & Sons before helping establish the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, which opened in 1935. His commitment to quality and carefully aged whiskey laid the foundation for the Van Winkle Collection, a celebrated family of bourbon and rye whiskeys that carries his name and enduring philosophy. In 2002, the Van Winkle family partnered with Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, where that legacy continues today through the careful crafting and aging of each expression.

MSRP for these bottles ranges from $170 - $500. If you happen to see one on the shelves, the price tags will likely be quite higher. I've seen these bottles in stores for as much as 5X their MSRP. Ridiculous!

Federal Appeals Court Keeps Stay on Trump's Ballot-Checking Order While Supreme Court Dithers; Supreme Court Refuses to Allow Missouri to Use Its Redrawn Maps

—Disinformation Expert Ace

I thought this foreign judge had already been overturned by the Supreme Court?

Did she once again ignore the Supreme Court and impose her stay despite the Supreme Court just overruling her last stay?

I'm not sure. But she did re-impose her stay, and a three-judge appeals court panel -- made up entirely of Biden appointees -- refused to lift the stay.

What they're doing is delaying this as long as possible so that they can then claim "It will cause chaos to implement this policy at this late date, there's just not enough time to implement it properly."

An appeals court on Thursday upheld a block on President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail voting, a decision that comes as the Supreme Court considers the same case and states have already started sending out ballots for the high-stakes midterm elections.

The three-judge panel refused to lift a preliminary injunction against the order issued last week by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani. It prohibits the U.S. Postal Service from implementing Trump's directive. The Postal Service has said it would not deliver ballots from states that did not pre-clear their envelope design with the federal government and submit a list of voters to an online portal, which has yet to be activated.

Election officials warn that it's impossible to comply with those terms, especially with the first mail ballots already being sent out in Alabama, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

The panel of three judges nominated by former President Joe Biden agreed with the plaintiffs that the president does not have the power to regulate states' election policy.

"Appellants have not made a strong showing that the district court erred in determining that the Final Rule is likely unlawful," they wrote, a reference to a rule published by the Postal Service to implement Trump's order.

The panel wrote that the Trump administration had done little to dispel arguments by many election officials that the changes would bring "chaos and widespread disenfranchisement."

...

The government also hasn't shown evidence of past fraud to justify the restrictions, the judges said.

LOL, sure.

The scumbags of the Supreme Court have once again given Democrats a hand and refused to allow the people of Missouri to change their congressional maps.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday declined for the second time to intervene in a dispute over redistricting maps in Missouri.

The high court ruling follows a federal judge in Missouri on Tuesday temporarily blocked the state from using its 2022 congressional districts in the midterms. That ruling came just moments after the Supreme Court let stand a decision from the Missouri Supreme Court ordering Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use the 2022 map.

An anti-gerrymandering group, People Not Politicians, on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower court's order from Tuesday night, mandating Missouri use a GOP redistricting map.

The Supreme Court's decision Thursday appears to be the end of the push to use the 2025 redistricting map, according to the Associated Press.

Leftists Celebrate "Kirkaversary" and Call for Additional Murders

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Absolute low-class scumbag demons.

A TREND seeming to be celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk has taken over the internet days before the first anniversary of his assassination on Thursday.

From "twerk for Kirk" to "what are we wearing for the first Kirkversary?" dozens of social media posts have been making jokes about marking the day the Turning Point USA founder was killed in front of hundreds of witnesses.

...

People have used the term across several platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and Reddit, with one post under the page No Stupid Questions reading, "What are you doing for the first Kirkaversary on 9/10?"

"I don't know if this is a thing for people that applaud that guy's killing or mourn it, but I think it sucks either way," one Reddit user wrote in the comments of the now-deleted post.

A self-described Portland, Oregon, tattoo artist shared on social media that they were offering "$50 neck tattoos" with "the exact placement of the kirkhole."

...

...

While many are sharing posts about it, with one even calling Wednesday "Kirkmas eve," others are expressing outrage.

"These demons are gearing up to celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination, calling it 'Kirkaversary,'" one person wrote on X. "Murder is basically a Leftist policy at this point."

Another X user said they feel it is overshadowing World Suicide Prevention Day, which is observed annually on September 10.

...

"If you're celebrating 'Kirkaversary' then you are part of the problem," another chimed in.

"I don't give two sh**s what side you're on, if you celebrate a man's death just because you disagree with him, then you need mental help. Because making fun of someone's death is not ok at all, it's just evil."

More:

"Evan loves worf," a radical left-wing account on X, posted an AI-generated video of Kirk that mocked his assassination. Far-left media pundit Taylor Lorenz, although she did not use the term "Kirkaversary," shared a post from Kirk that he wrote in 2014 which said, "Did I just get shot by an AR-15? Feels like it."

...

One woman posted a video to TikTok of her dancing to her "playlist" that she said she made in preparation for her "kirkaversary party."

Another far-left woman posted a TikTok where she made a "Kirkaversary basket" that included "Charlie's blood," an "aborted fetus," as well as "toy guys."

A statue of Charlie Kirk was unveiled in Times Square.

Charlie Kirk statue bound for NY's Times Square as sculptor defies threats ahead of unveiling

'It's a monument definitely to Charlie, but it's even a monument to freedom of speech,' sculptor tells Fox News Digital

Artist Sergio Furnari reveals the inspiration behind his $100,000 Charlie Kirk statue ahead of its unveiling in New York City's Times Square on the anniversary of Kirk's assassination.

An Italian-born sculpture artist is set to unveil a six-figure tribute to Charlie Kirk in the heart of New York City this week -- a move that he hopes will spark dialogue rather than division.

Sergio Furnari was still in bed when his daughter came home with the news that Kirk had been assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.

"It took me a couple of seconds to connect," Furnari told Fox News Digital. "And then I kind of was, I would say, saddened by it."

Within weeks, Furnari -- who gained attention for his 40-foot sculpture of athlete Cristiano Ronaldo -- was fielding calls suggesting he create a tribute to Kirk.

"I was like, 'No way, I cannot get involved with politics,'" Furnari said. "But I [saw] how Erika [Kirk] got treated, including the parents of Charlie, and that's what I think became my catalyzer[sic]."

Although the statue was "unveiled" in Times Square, there's no way the communist terrorist Zohran Mamdani will allow it to actually stand in NYC. You can bring anything to a street and unveil it, that doesn't mean the government will let you keep it there.

Left-Wing UK Government Pushes Forward With Plan to House Over 1,250 "Migrants" Next to a Town With Only 350 Inhabitants

—Disinformation Expert Ace

So the "migrants" will outnumber the actual citizens by 3 to 1.

And some are claiming the government is lying, and plans to settle over 3,500 "migrants" in this tiny town.

Wonderful.

Home Office minister Anna Turley has said the government is sticking with plans to accommodate asylum-seekers on former military bases despite protests from local residents.

She told the BBC the government's priority was to ensure asylum-seekers were looked after in a "secure" and "appropriate" place.

That included disused Ministry of Defence properties because they had on-site facilities and were "more contained," she added.

But campaigners in areas earmarked for asylum centres have said small communities with limited infrastructure would not be able to cope with large numbers of people.

There have been protests in Piddington, Oxfordshire, over plans to house more than 1,000 asylum seekers at a site near the village.

That's a lie. They intend to settle 3,150 "migrants" there.

Hope you enjoy gang rape, women of Piddington!

Mike Nixon, the vice-chairman of Piddington Parish Council, said there was a "huge amount of concern and worry" among residents and that an asylum centre would have a "dramatic effect" on the way they lived their lives.

The proposal has prompted Piddington to hold a symbolic independence referendum, asking its 400 or so residents if they want to remain part of the UK.

Nixon said: "We're still very frustrated. Andy Burnham did say that he's willing to listen, but we've had no formal contact. No consultation, nothing from the Home Office.

"We felt that the only way of making our views felt was to say 'well if we're not going to be listened to, what's the point of being a part of the country?'"

A representative from Reform says this talk of 1,250 "migrants" is another leftwing lie.

The real number planned, he says, is more than 3,500.

Which would give "migrants" a 10-to-1 advantage over the invaded natives.

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf has blasted "lying Labour" after it emerged the Home Office had carried out assessments for migrants at a former MoD site, which would have outnumbered villagers 10 to one. Publicly available documents show an Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) risk assessment stating that "the proposed scheme" relates to "accommodation for 3,510 service users" at the ex-military Bicester Site A storage facility.

The Home Office denies this, but admits... well, maybe there was a prior plan to settle 3,510 migrants next to this town of 350, but we assure you, that plan is no longer operative and we surely won't make it operative in the future.

The shocking figure discovered by worried villagers of neighbouring Piddington, in Oxfordshire, has been refuted by the Home Office, which said it was based on an "outdated estimate" and there was no plan to increase the official figure of 1,256 male migrants they were seeking to put in the base.

Uh-huh.

But you give me your word you won't c*** in my mouth, right?

All right, so long as you promised.

Jimmy Kimmel Runs Stephen Colbert's Partisan Op Playbook, Claiming DRUMPF!!! Is Censoring Him By Not Allowing Him to Broadcast an Ass-Eating Propaganda Interview with James Talarico

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Before getting to that: Trump had some fun with the totally normal moderate straight Christian man James Talarico.

Talarico has campaigned to reduce/end meat consumption. In line with all Democrats who now say "woke 1 was crazyyyy" and disavow their past comments as just some internet "cringe," Talarico now says he loves meat and photographs himself chomping on a turkey drumstick.

An unearthed 2022 clip of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico urging voters to scale back "meat consumption" went viral on Tuesday with many lampooning the rising Democratic star.

Talarico, who has already taken heat for controversial 2020 tweets referring to the "virus of racism" and how White people are guilty of spreading it, was a hot topic on social media again when a GOP communications strategist posted old footage of the masked Senate hopeful criticizing meat consumption in the state famous for its barbecue.

"We have heard, I think heard more and more, issues of animal welfare. I think, not just because it's the right thing to do, and it's the moral thing to do, but also... necessary to fight climate change. It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption, and that we try to respect animals," Talarico said during a fundraiser for laws against animal abuse.

"I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign," Talarico continued. "We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses."

...

"Talarico wants to represent Texas but is anti-meat, anti-gun, anti-oil, thinks white people are inherently racist, that God is 'non-binary,' and that the Bible justifies abortion," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, responded.
"

He was wearing a covid mask while declaring that the need to reduce meat consumption was "existential" to fight "climate change."

Trump says Talarico called his campaign to end meat consumption "Beat Meat." I can't find evidence of that, but I'll allow it for the joke:

One of the Male Cuck Jurors Who Was Bullied Into Voting for Not Guilty by the Alpha Karens Speaks and He's as Weak as You Were Guessing

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Catching up with the AWFUL Karens who insisted the "rogue" male juror obey them when they offered their non-expert "expert" opinions as nurses -- the more video I see, the worse it gets.

You probably know that jurors cannot be "experts." Jurors cannot research cases and bring their own "facts" and "evidence," often found on the internet, into the jury room. Jurors have been kicked off of cases for this arrogant step.

Jurors can also not appoint themselves "experts" and demand other jurors obey their fake expert opinions. If you saw My Cousin Vinny, you'll remember that Mona Lisa Vitti had to be declared by the judge to be an expert before she offered her expertise, and opposing counsel was entitled to voir dire her and attempt to impute her expertise.

And even when an expert is accepted by the court as an expert -- no juries are required to actually believe the expert. Experts offer opinion. Typical witnesses offer "fact" testimony, but even the "facts" they claim can be ignored by the jury if the jury thinks they're lying.

At any rate, these "expert nurses" were in contempt of court when they claimed that their expert opinions should not only be included as evidence, but believed without question as evidence.

And they also dismiss the doctors actually certified by the court as experts. Now, they're allowed to not believe an expert witness, but it's breathtaking that they simultaneously dismiss the doctors certified by the court as experts while illegally presenting their own Karen-Certified Nurse Experts and claiming the lone male holdout was a "rogue" juror for not taking this fake expert witness to be dispositive.

German Chancellor Merz: Sending Aliens Back to Their Home Country Would be "Ethnic Cleansing"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Last year, Merz signed a supposedly hardline bill against further illegal immigration.

He didn't mean a word of it, of course. He is attempting to create a paper trail showing he accepts the popular judgment on unending mass migration from the third world, while not taking any action to actually stop it.

As AfD grows in support, he will attempt further fake demonstrations of his commitment to enforce the border.

Germans must not believe him when he inevitably lies. His true feelings are that deporting any "asylum" seekers or illegal aliens is "ethnic cleansing."

Obviously he is never, ever going to do something he views as being on par with shipping the Jews to Dachau.

But he will claim he's willing to do this, as his party, and all the rest of the corrupt Regime parties, lose further support.

Germany's sovereigntist, anti-mass-migration Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party pulled off a historic result in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt at the weekend, pushing the country's longstanding default party of government the Christian Democrats (CDU) into a distant second and leaving all other parties as also-rans. The result has sent shock waves through German politics and brought the leadership of national Chancellor Friedrich Merz into question, which seems to have sent the otherwise mild-mannered lawyer into a tailspin of despair, in which he has made increasingly outlandish threats and comments against the AfD, painting them as an outright threat to the German nation.

On Wednesday, Merz responded to one of the flagship policies of the AfD -- that migrants who are in Germany illegally should actually be made to leave, rather than endlessly tolerated -- to call it ethnic cleansing. The charge has obvious historic connotations in Germany and caused something of a firestorm. Merz said on Wednesday that the party's "remigration" policy is "nothing other than ethnic cleansing based on skin color and origin".

Well, yes, demanding that foreign illegal aliens return to their actual countries, while actual Germans are allowed to remain in Germany, is a remigration policy based on "origin." To declare this some kind of racist, Nazi-esque measure is to announce that, in the mind of the Regime, there is simply no difference whatsoever, legally, between real citizens and foreign migrants.

He's announcing that the German government can make no distinctions between Germans and foreign interlopers.

Because it is racist for a country to "discriminate" in favor of its own citizens.

Merz further claimed that if deportations took place, German society would simply collapse. Speaking directly to AfD members in the German Parliament, he went on to say: "You are part of the problem we have in Germany -- and we will resist that with everything at our disposal".

And he does mean everything, including simply banning this party that represents popular opinion and which is therefore anathema to the Davos/Soros Regime.

Merz has previously questioned the wisdom and practicality of essentially ending democracy in Germany to "save democracy," but he appears to be warming to the idea:

The ethnic cleansing line follows other remarks by Merz on Monday, who addressed the federal executive of the CDU to promise he would use government power to prevent AfD dissidents from taking power. As reported:

Germany has a considerable security state, including political police. These organisations are a legacy of the post-Second World War and Cold War political settlements, when it was thought Germany's constitution needed inbuilt protections against democracy of a magnitude practically unknown elsewhere in the Western world. Convinced that the public voting against endless open borders is an emergency justifying the use of these powers, Merz is reported to have said on Monday he would use "all the instruments" in Germany's "strong constitution" to defend the nation against "a right-wing extremist state government".

Or maybe he won't need to go all the way. Maybe he can just count on the EU to economically strangle Saxony-Anhalt for rejecting the Davos-Soros Regime.

Beege Wellborne notes the German media is discussing the possibility that the EU will apply sanctions to the region until it votes the Only Permitted Way.

It has already been standard practice in Hungary and Poland: the EU froze funding. Should a potential AfD government in Saxony-Anhalt also violate fundamental EU rights, the state faces a payment freeze -- and thus a financial shortfall.

Saxony-Anhalt will receive [Euros] 2.95 billion from the current EU budget, which covers the years 2021 to 2027. This funding will be used for projects including school renovations, comprehensive refurbishments of gymnasiums and daycare centers, and the purchase of modern medical equipment for hospitals.

Saxony-Anhalt is the German state that receives the most EU regional funding per capita. Now, the AfD could soon be governing in Magdeburg. A party that, according to Green MEP Daniel Freund, acts against the European project and the European Union -- "and then, if necessary, the European Commission would have to withhold funds."

Communism-curious authoritarian Angela Merkel says her "heart is bleeding" over AfD's victory.

Andrew Stuttaford says that Merkel is responsible for the AfD's rise.

The Daily Telegraph:

Angela Merkel said her "heart is bleeding" after the state election victory by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Saxony-Anhalt.

Sad. But, according to the newspaper, "analysts have accused the former chancellor of paving the way for the AfD."

Analysts are right. The AfD was born as the "professors' party" founded by two free-market economists and others opposed to the eurozone bailouts made possible by Merkel. A preference for a more restrictive immigration policy was a secondary strand in the AfD's platform, but that changed after Merkel's narcissistic and reckless decision to throw open Germany's doors in 2015. The free-market strain can still be found here and there within the AfD, but Merkel's refusal to countenance serious dissent to her policy within the center-right created an opening of which the AfD, transforming itself into a party of the populist right, took full advantage.

And the AfD only benefited further when Merkel, infuriated by popular opposition to her folly, became one of the pioneers of online censorship. As I noted in an essay in National Review in 2018:

The mainstream media had enthusiastically echoed the chancellor's Willkommenskultur narrative of kindly Germans cheerfully greeting the migrants, but establishment unanimity was not enough for the instinctively authoritarian Merkel. Her less "welcoming" compatriots had found an audience on social media. That would not do.

Merkel thus endorsed a new censorship law, with the catchy name Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz. By doing so, she undermined her already tatty democratic credibility and reinforced the ability of the AfD to distinguish itself from the Kartellparteien ("cartel parties").

That is, they mean, what we'd call the Regime, or the corrupt Uniparty.

Republican National Convention: Trump Promises $5000 Rebate If Republicans Keep Congress, John Fetterman Endorses Pennsylvania Republican Senator Dave McCormack, Promises to Work With Trump

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Trump laid out the stakes at play.

"In 55 days, Americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history. Your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back," he said.

"We hand America's future to the radical left Democrats, and our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet. It will be a tragedy. Vote Republican, and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come. There'll be nothing like it," he added.

Trump stressed that 35 key races will decide the majorities in the Senate and House come November. Republicans hold the Senate with a 53-47 majority over Democrats and independents in their caucus, and in the House, Republicans hold a 218-214 majority. Republicans look to defend key Senate seats in Texas, North Carolina, Iowa, and Ohio, and can flip Democrat seats in Michigan, Maine, and Georgia. Trump carried all of these states, except for Maine, in 2024. He intends to visit every state where a race is on a knife's edge.

"We have a very short period of time, and we really have 35 races. They all count, but we have 35 races that are, I guess you'd call swings, right? Like we had seven swing states, we won all seven, right? Yeah. So I said, not that I'm looking for the work. You know, I said the other day I got so much of a schedule. I said, 'I thought I won. What do I have to do? I'm campaigning,' But I am. We're campaigning to make it incredible," he said.

"The ones that are very close--they might be winning by a little, or losing by a little, or tied--we can win every one of those races," he said. "But I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressmen and Senators... and we're going to have rallies just like this."

As part of his pitch -- and to combat the Democrats' "affordability" op -- Trump promised that he would rebate $5000 to every adult, to be paid out of tariffs collected from foreign producers.

This almost certainly won't happen and there's not enough money collected from tariffs to even do this.

President Donald Trump pledged that he will send a $5,000 dividend to all American adults if Republicans hold their majorities in Congress in November.

Trump made the promise in what he called maybe "the best part" of his keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday before a packed crowd at the American Airlines Center.

"If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our... tremendous economic success--like in history we've never had anything like what's happening--but because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000," Trump said.

"Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military $1,776. Remember?" he added.

Trump tethered one condition to the incentive.

"The only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America," he said. "We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America."

He reiterated that the pledge will only kick in if Republicans win, and said that Democrats cannot make such a promise because they do not have a tariff policy.

"The reason the Democrats can't do that is because they don't do tariffs, they don't take in money. All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country. But we're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us, and you get $5,000," he said.

I see Democrats complaining -- except, all they do is promise to give some Americans money from other Americans. "Vote for us and we'll cancel your student debt and force other taxpayers to cover the hundreds of thousands of dollars you borrowed." "Vote for us and we'll give you free health care and free child care."

At least this promise, were it carried out, would be a rebate paid to everybody.

And, in theory, this is a rebate of taxes collected from foreign sellers. In other words, it's a rebate of a tariffs, which are tax-like. So it's a rebate for taxes paid.

I also see the Fake Corporate-Paid Cash-Money "Professional Conservative" Grifters showing how Severely Conservative they are by claiming this is Socialism and Illegal.

So I'm not really worked up about it. It's not going to happen -- Trump has made a similar promise before about rebating tariff money before, and that didn't happen.

Democrats: "How dare Trump offer a $5000 dividend. This is bribery."

Also Democrats: "We'll give you free groceries. Free healthcare. Free daycare. Free buses. Forgive your student loans and $1M in reparations."

Unpopular opinion: This is a brilliant political strategy, even if it's a dumb idea.

Let's be honest, Trump isn't going to lose any votes from his base because of this. A lot of fiscal conservatives (myself included) will point out giving out 1.2 trillion in stimulus checks when we're already 40 trillion in debt is just digging us deeper into a hole we already don't know if we can get out of, but at the end of the day what's the difference between 40 trillion and 41 trillion when we borrow almost 2 trillion a year anyway. 2.3 billion was given out in stimulus after COVID and we're still here so anyone screaming about hyperinflation is being dramatic.

Now, here's why it might actually be a brilliant move that could save us from economic collapse even though it makes no sense economically.

Trump didn't get this country 40 trillion in debt, Congress did. Yet regardless of that, every single year the left tells their voters they're going to spend more money and give them free shit and they keep, fucking, voting for them because they care about free shit more than they care about the debt.

The problem they're facing now is the only people getting free shit from the democrats are illegals, drug addicts, criminals, and fraudsters. The working class has been completely ignored and hasn't seen a dime from democrat leadership and they're the majority of the party.

Now think about all those forgotten men and women who just saw Trump offer them $5000 just for being an American citizen if they help us win instead of their leaders promising to spend their tax dollars on giving citizenship to illegals, getting criminals out of jail, and putting a vending machine with free heroin needles on every corner.

How many people do you think will take that deal and vote red in November for the first time? It's definitely not zero.

Democrats will destroy this country, and 1.2 trillion added to the debt will be nothing compared to what they'll spend if they regain power and push through their socialist agenda. So while I don't love the idea of Trump digging us a little deeper in the hole we're in, it's a lot better than handing the shovel to the left so they can dig our grave.

Lumpy Jack also made a surprise appearance at the Convention, introducing Republican Senator Dave McCormack, who is standing for re-election in Pennsylvania.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) crossed party lines Wednesday to address Republicans at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, saying that he stands with America and rejects socialism.

Fetterman addressed a room full of Republicans at the GOP's midterm convention, describing himself as a "common-sense Democrat" who rejects socialism and anti-American extremism.

In a video message played at the convention, Fetterman acknowledged that he was speaking to a Republican audience despite belonging to the opposing party.

"A big room of Republicans in Dallas. Yes, I'm Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat," Fetterman said.

"Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well, I'm a common-sense Democrat," he continued. "I'm always going to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes in socialism and that anti-American way of life."

Fetterman then praised Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) and introduced the Republican senator to the crowd, putting their bipartisan friendship on display.

"Dave McCormick is the kind of senator that gets the job done, and he's going to fight for Pennsylvania. I'm proud to count him as my friend. Right back over my shoulder, that's the iconic U.S. steel mill, and that's exactly the kind of thing that will work together and will work with President Trump to fight and defend the steel way of life right here in the Steel Valley," Fetterman added.

"I have this opportunity to introduce this great American, a great senator, and yes he's in a different party, but I'm proud to count him as my great friend."

...

Despite his frequent clashes with fellow Democrats and his video appearance before Republicans, Fetterman made clear in July that he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party. He said his positions on abortion, LGBTQ issues, and labor would not fit within the Republican Party, even though he breaks with Democrats on issues such as Israel.

"I don't think that Republican Party wants a pro-choice, pro-gay, trans communities, federal union, and you look at my voting record...I disagree with my party on some issues, like Israel, for example," Fetterman said. "But you know, I am a Democrat, and if someone is frustrated in the Democratic Party, I would be frustrated with someone like Bernie Sanders."

Black Conservative Perspective, Government Name Greg Foreman, opined that Fetterman has no plans to become a Republican, but he's essentially threatening Democrats to stop running ops against him -- an account of "former Fetterman staffers" keeps making derogatory claims, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, against him -- or maybe he will caucus with Republicans. That sounds right to me.

The Morning Rant

This week's Art Thread choices have been focused on the glories of motherhood. Yes...there has been a theme! And that theme has been the importance and, actually, the superiority of women in our culture.

Why superiority? Because the unique ability of women is the bearing and rearing of children, and that is the most important thing that humans do. Is that controversial? I certainly hope not. But among the post-modern, anti-family, anti-civilization progressive movement in the West, the concept of "Woman," and the positive aspects of children have been subsumed in a deluge of feminism (all five waves!), increasingly hedonistic sexual mores, economic pressures that force women into the workforce, and recently the ascientific nonsense about transsexualism and gender.

Aside from the obvious goal of making all of humanity cogs in the infernal socialist machine, and destroying our individuality, these movements have diluted the importance of womanhood by making us interchangeable. Women in the workforce? Great, because they are just like men! Women who choose not to have children because of their careers or their desire to be unencumbered? Fantastic! Just like men! Women who choose sexual "freedom" by rejecting traditional social mores (and probably innate drives) for having children? Super! Men have been like that...forever! And most ridiculous but no less dangerous is the laughable idea that a man can become a woman: a bit of surgery, some hormones, a forgiving tailor, and poof!

But these are society-killing trends because of the decrease in the number of children being born in the West. It is civilizational suicide, and we are being replaced by fecund third-world denizens who have no interest in individuality, or for that matter Western Culture.

That is the demographic crisis, but there is a cultural and emotional crisis that is just as destructive. By degrading the position of "Woman" in our culture from the pinnacle, we have diluted the entire concept of womanhood. The glory of child-bearing and rearing has become a perceived burden...one that interferes with the hedonism of a post-modern world.

That link between mother and child -- that hopefully the art of the past four days has illuminated -- has been minimized and degraded and trivialized. It is the most powerful human imperative and emotion, and one that should be celebrated and honored. Instead, our current culture maligns it and laughs at it and stigmatizes women who embrace it. And even worse, culture now says that anyone can bear and raise children. Men? Sure! Why not? The popular definition of a woman is apparently anyone who wants to be one...can be one!

Except...men can never be mothers. Sure, there are many (maybe most?) men who are wonderful fathers and who partner with their wives to create fine children. But the position of "mother" is one that can only be filled by women, because they are designed, by God or evolution or whatever you wish to think, to nurture and defend children in ways that men simply cannot do, or even fathom.

That is as it should be, because the innocence of children needs a defender from the vagaries of the world, And women are simply better at it than men. And we don't need art to show us this! Our world has innumerable examples of the innate superiority of women as mothers. Just wander down to the nearest park and watch the moms.

Or even better, watch the mothers in your life and how they nurture and defend the innocent. Because that is what children are...innocents. And God (or nature) has endowed mothers with exactly the tools to be their defenders, in ways that the rest of us cannot.
