James Talarico says his “favorite drag queen” is Alyssa Edwards — who has described himself as "a drag performer that works with children." pic.twitter.com/u5HNKh4CQt
Alyssa Edwards is the stage name of Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, a performer who has described himself as "a drag performer that works with children," and who has spent years advocating for youth drag shows. Johnson has openly discussed sharing the stage with the young dancers he trains himself. "I remember being at World Pride in New York a few years back and sharing the stage with my dance students, one of the most powerful moments of my life," he told Out magazine.
In fact, the 2018 Netflix docuseries Dancing Queen featured Johnson's work with those young dancers. The Dallas Observer reported that Johnson called one 10-year-old male student his "mini-me," and that the child dressed as Johnson's drag alter ego during an episode of the show.
Remember when Talarico professed his love for "trans children?" Do you think it's just a coincidence that his favorite drag queen is one known for working with minors?
Nor is this the first time Talarico's affinity for kids in drag has surfaced.
Last month, we reported that Talarico headlined a 2021 Pride Month festival in Taylor, Texas, that featured an 11-year-old boy performing as a drag queen. The event also featured pro-LGBTQ speakers, live music, a children's "drag story hour," and adult drag performers. Talarico was there, too, mingling with the crowd as if nothing depraved and predatory was going on.
...
Photos from the event show Talarico chatting and posing for pictures while the boy performed a routine organizers billed as part of a "Youth Drag Show." One attendee even posted video of the child doing the splits on stage, being sexualized for the crowd.
Talarico is doing the Yasser Arafat messaging strategy of telling two completely different stories to two different audiences. For the left, he loves drag and has a favorite drag performer who targets children. But when it's time to pitch himself to moderates, he claims his prior statements were "cringey" and "missed the mark."
Of course he's lying about disavowing his past statements.
His own lesbian pastor says so. (And of course he has a lesbian pastor.)
An undercover journalist for the Daily Wire caught Rev. Babs Miller, a "minister" at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Talarico's longtime "church," on hidden camera discussing exactly what we've suspected all along.
Talarico has drawn Republican criticism for his professed love for "trans children," claiming that there are seven genders, and that "God is non-binary."
Miller knows who Talarico is, and isn't buying his attempt to rebrand himself.
"He's getting some advice that I don't think he should be following." She predicted he'd drop the act the moment he's safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, "I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was."
That's the whole scam, according to the guy's own "minister."
When the undercover journalist suggested Talarico simply "has to play this game" to win, Miller agreed, saying, "That's what his campaign has convinced him of." She added that the Democrat Party broadly is softening its posture on transgender issues, saying "his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50... days."
She continued, "I think it's bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay..."
Because it's okay to lie if it means you get elected.
🚨WATCH
James Talarico's Minister admits Talarico is COVERING UP his Left-wing views to trick Texans into voting for him:
"I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was."pic.twitter.com/NzjGjC54ep
James Talarico, of six biological sexes fame, is moderating his insane rhetoric in advance of the general election in Texas. Apparently suggesting that abortion is in the Bible, that transsexualism is normal and in fact needs to be celebrated, and that poverty is violence, might not resonate with Texas voters outside of his district in and around Austin.
And like all good Democrats, he is lying to the voters to get elected, then will shift to his natural stance after the election. You know, like John Cornyn did for years!
"He's getting some advice that I don't think he should be following." She predicted he'd drop the act the moment he's safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, "I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was."
What's interesting about this is that if the polls are to be believed, Talarico is leading Paxton, so his previous, longstanding and creepy lunacy about transsexualism and children and homosexuality should be a part of his seemingly winning platform. That he is shifting to a more Texas-friendly stance tells me that he isn't winning.
Lying to get elected certainly isn't reserved fro Democrats. The corporate wing of the Republican Party has embraced lying for generations! Run as a conservative, then vote in Congress as a squishy accomodationist who is willing to subvert the will of the voters for financial gain. Cornyn did it for years, and the fact that Texas finally got tired of his sh*t is a signal that MAGA sensibilities are becoming more popular.
What surprises me is that the Texas Democrat Party didn't dig up a moderate Democrat who could run on the archaic but successful principles that convinced America that Democrats represented the everyman. It's not true, and has never been true, but it worked for a long time, and my bet is that it would have worked in Texas against Paxton, who has shown very little skill at campaigning and communicating his platform.
But the Democrat Party has been overwhelmed by the insanity of transsexualism, DEI, Critical Race Theory, overt socialism, rejection of traditional America, and a host of other sophomoric but dangerous themes. So a traditional Democrat won't get much traction. The new Democrat Party is saying the quiet part out loud, and hopefully America is listening.

If you needed another reminder why this year’s midterm elections are so important, Barack Hussein Obama II is back to make the case: Democrats intend to seize control over artificial intelligence and shape it to their advantage. . . Obama’s not against the technological reality of artificial intelligence; he just wants to make sure Democrats are in complete control of it. This is what disciples of Big Government do: They write laws, rules, and regulations that give preferred companies monopoly power within a given industry, and in return, the corporate beneficiaries of these unfair privileges do Big Government’s bidding.
This is the leftist, globalist, crony-capitalist model of governance throughout the West. First, governments conjure a problem that can be used to scare the public. Then their partners in the corporate news media hammer that problem until the public demands government action. Finally, governments propose new laws that infringe upon the public’s freedoms while allocating new powers to the fearmongering governments. Scaring people until they beg for more government is how authoritarianism and totalitarianism take hold.

William Lawrence, the far-left Democrat nominee for a competitive House race in Michigan, called for "abolishing the institution of marriage," arguing that because it "comes from a particular religious and cultural background," it is at odds with the "separation of church and state," video footage obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
Hollywood actress, writer, and producer Lena Dunham is welcoming her first baby into the world, despite saying in the past that abortion is “a huge part of who I am.”
My initial reaction after projectile vomiting trying to imagine the process of inseminating this disgusting mass of lipids was to have pity on the poor turkey baster that had to do the job. Even a Muslim rape gang would run the other way!!! Dunham is so out of the public eye that my thought was that she would only have the baby so as to arrange a live television event on inbred beady-eyed mouth breathing banjo boy Scarborough and concubine Mitzi Baryshnikov's Morning Joke wherein she could take advantage of Lindsay Clancy's notoriety and love affair/near beatification from Leftists and she could boost her career by strangling the infant to death a la Clancy with her bare hands, followed by the regular Al sharpton railing against diamond merchants and white interlopers!
That's show biz, baby. And with that bit of insanity and depravity I bid you all to have a good day.

Did you know why the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has a different name than the book upon which it is based?
The previous inception of the Wonka brand came from materials licensed from the British author Roald Dahl. His classic 1964 children's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and its film adaptations are the sources of both the packaging and the marketing styles of the Wonka brand. Dahl had licensed the "Wonka" name to film director Mel Stuart. The film's producer, David L. Wolper, convinced the Quaker Oats Company to advance $3 million to finance the film in exchange for the right to use the Wonka name to sell candy bars. Quaker, which had no previous experience in the film industry, bought the rights to the book and financed the picture to promote their new "Wonka Bar." The title of the film was changed to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory for promotional purposes.

Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink made a bombshell admission this morning, disclosing that there are on-orbit weapons deployed right now to protect America's interests in space.
"Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats, wherever they exist," Meink said during his keynote address. "This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action."
"That phrase was very well thought out. So whatever I said before is what I say again," he said when asked if he could elaborate in any way on those capabilities at a question-and-answer session immediately following his speech. "It is critically important that we maintain our dominance not only in the air, but in space, and so we've had to take steps to make sure that when we're threatened, we can take care of that."

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel called A Boat in the Woods. Joshua is a professional carpenter that gave up his day job to restore a 32 foot wooden Japanese fishing vessel built in 1966. The boat is in terrible shape and he has never restored a boat before.
A friend let Joshua set up shop for the restoration on their land (thus the name of the channel). Initially, Joshua intended to live off the grid in a cabin next to the boat and harvest lumber from the nearby forest for the restoration. That initial plan ran into challenges.
Did I mention this is in Nova Scotia? Weather is always an issue.
The first upload to YouTube was October 30, 2024 and the bulk of the almost two years has involved a little bit of boat work and a lot of surrounding logistics and weather battles. A successful YouTube channel typically involves storytelling and viewers are invested in Joshua's journey - even if the work is fixing his truck, building shelter for himself or the boat, or sourcing lumber. YouTube economics and viewer support has let him pursue this project full time.
Friends help here and there, but Joshua is tacking this project mostly by himself. It is an impressive amount of labor and he is very handy.
The channel has over 148,000 subscribers. Each video typically gets between a hundred and two hundred thousand views. He tries to post a new video each week. The most recent video shows moving the boat to a new and better location (which is an outdoor shop built from two shipping containers and lots of lumber).
The video below was posted after 18 months and gives a very good story of the struggles to that point. Much has happened since, but this is a better intro and overview. Simple but compelling content.

🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP.
The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her.
He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story.
Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn't want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.
The incident with the nephew - according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out.
None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box "yes" and afterward had to describe what happened.
He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public.
Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty.
The eight jurors were "activists," according to Michael. He said every day they voted, and the eight who were convinced that she was not guilty were doing their best to convince the other four that she was not guilty.
At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE.
He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies.
He's never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S.
Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members.
Michael stated that he believes he's being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. And he knows exactly what's happening right now, and I think that you all do as well.
A Black Republican stood his ground. It is not surprising that he is now being dragged through the mud.
This is a very bad precedent for people who will serve on a jury in the future for a national case. No one wants to do this when, based on their decision that they say is based on the evidence, they are crucified online for their political beliefs. You have all seen it. You have seen the threats that I get on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what this man is going through.
But for now, I stand with the Black conservative Republican juror.

The New York Times: Israelis "still largely perceive themselves to be the victims" of the 10/7 terrorist attacks that killed 1,200 and included many terror-rapes, with one woman raped so badly her pelvis was broken, and of course hundreds of kidnappings, with all hostages abused and starved.
That same sentence could be written, and will be written, about Americans and 9/11. Many of us still perceive ourselves of being the victims of 9/11, when the Democrat Media Party will tell you the only real victims of 9/11 were Muslims.
The New York Times came under fire Wednesday over a baffling passage that appeared in an article about an Israeli documentary -- which said the Jewish state "still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7."
The Sept. 14 article, penned by Jerusalem-based reporter Isabel Kershner, covers the controversy over the documentary film "NAZA," which chronicles the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and just won the Special Jury Prize at this year's Venice Film Festival.
...
"But Israelis still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7," she continued, even citing the 1,200 civilian casualties slaughtered that day and the 250 taken hostage in what she called "the deadliest day in Israel's history" in the very same paragraph.
The phrasing, and confusing juxtaposition, quickly sparked bitter outrage on social media.
"No words for this abomination," CNN correspondent Scott Jennings wrote in a post on X sharing a screenshot with the offending passage highlighted, which has already garnered hundreds of angry responses and hundreds of thousands of views.
"If Israel wasn't the Oct 7 victim, who does the NYTimes propose is? The mental gymnastics are at an Olympic level here," wrote one of many confused commenters.
"I cancelled my subscription long ago. The NYT is just the propaganda arm of the DSA," said another, implying the Gray Lady is doing heavy lifting for the Democratic Socialists of America.
"Yes, and equally curiously, Americans overwhelmingly still see themselves as the victim of 9/11. The nerve!" another commenter wrote, sarcastically.

Abdul El-Sayed Railed Against 'Disturbing' Funding for Breast Cancer Research, Said Disease Affects People With 'Social Power and Privilege'
The Michigan Democrat denounced 'the Pink Ribbon Lobby' in essay published during Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Chuck Ross
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a fiery essay railed against the "breast cancer lobby" and blasted breast cancer advocacy groups for creating the impression that women were "in imminent danger" from the disease.
In a 2012 essay entitled "The Pink Ribbon Lobby and Everyone Else," El-Sayed, who has a medical degree and refers to himself as "Dr. El-Sayed" in political ads, bemoaned the increase in federal funding for breast cancer research, calling it a "disturbing" trend that diverts federal funding to study other serious diseases.
The culprit, according to El-Sayed, was the all-powerful "breast cancer lobby," which he also derided as the "pink ribbon lobby," a reference to the pink ribbons that commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October.
"The breast cancer lobby has done an incredible job raising my 'awareness' of Breast Cancer," El-Sayed wrote for the 2x2 Project, a journal sponsored by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, where El-Sayed worked as an epidemiologist. El-Sayed noted that the George Washington Bridge in New York City was adorned with pink lights and that his alma mater's football team, the Michigan Wolverines, were decked out "in pink cleats and arm bands."
"If I weren't an epidemiologist, it would have me believing that the women around me were in imminent danger," said El-Sayed, who asserted that the significant funding for breast cancer created problems "for equity in health research allocation" by prioritizing funding for diseases that affect people with "social power and privilege."
El-Sayed's essay relied heavily on an American Sociological Review study on the lobbying of "single-disease interest groups," in particular those dedicated to fighting breast cancer and HIV/AIDS. Curiously, El-Sayed omitted HIV/AIDS organizations from his scathing analysis, even though breast cancer killed more than three times as many Americans as HIV/AIDS in 2012.
Breast cancer will afflict around 1 in 8 women in their lifetimes and is the second leading killer of women in America, after heart disease. According to one estimate, 322,000 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and 42,000 will die.
But, in recent decades, breast cancer deaths have plummeted--amid advances in detection and treatment--even as the number of cases has steadily risen.
El-Sayed's article raises questions about his current views of breast cancer research.
El-Sayed, who last year accused Elon Musk of "gutting" cancer research at the Department of Government Efficiency, has expressed interest in serving on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees the budget for the National Institutes of Health, the main source of federal funding for disease research. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), a longtime El-Sayed ally, serves as ranking member of the committee. Sanders has stirred controversy in the past over his views about breast cancer, linking the disease to "inhibited sexuality" in women.
"The manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things," Sanders wrote in an essay that resurfaced during his 2020 presidential run. "How much guilt, nervousness have you imbued in your daughter with regard to sex?"
First he slaughtered the stray dogs, now he calls for cancer to be unleashed upon the puppies.

@mirandadevine
Why did it take Senator Chuck Grassley to find this new information about Thomas Crooks? Is he the only person in DC with any investigative powers? The FBI was told by the Crooks' family that an "anonymous donor" paid for the cremation. It's been more than two years. Why has that donor not been identified and questioned? Who was it, what was his/her motivation? What evidence was destroyed?
In fairness, some information may be interesting to the public but if investigators find that it is not germane to the case, they don't report it. They don't put people on blast unless there's a reason for it. People are always making a big deal that "Epstein witnesses" -- people who had almost no connection to Epstein except for him mentioning them in an email, or the like -- and jump to the conclusion that the FBI and DRUMPF!!! must be "protecting" these "Epstein witnesses," when the truth is they're not witnesses to anything and have been cleared by the FBI.
Obviously I don't know what's going on here and whether or not it's germane.
Why do people have such deep suspicions of the FBI?

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday hiked rates for the first time in three years, an effort to tamp down inflation that drew a muted rebuke from President Trump as the midterms approach.
In a unanimous vote, the Fed raised rates by a quarter point to the 3.75% to 4% range -- the first move in rates under Warsh, whom Trump hand-picked after lambasting predecessor Jerome Powell for years for not lowering interest rates fast enough.
"The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Warsh said at a press conference following the vote.
"Today's action starts to show that we're serious about this."
Hours after the vote, Trump called for rates to be lowered, though he stopped short of attacking Warsh personally.
"Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World -- BY FAR," the president wrote on Truth Social.
"Lower the interest rates for the United States of America, and fast!" he added in all-caps.

The Sepehran Airlines flight had been slated to fly from Mashhad to Kermanshah Sept. 15, Jam Press reported. However, disaster struck shortly after takeoff, when the Boeing 737 suffered a mechanical failure.
In the wild clip, the aircraft is seen shaking violently, causing panels to fall from the ceiling as terrified passengers shout and pray.
Meanwhile, some flyers were reportedly hit by items falling from the cargo bins, although no injuries were reported.
To avert further disaster, the captain turned the aircraft around and ferried the 127 passengers back to Mashhad.
An Iranian Sepehran Airlines Boeing 737 was forced to return to Mashhad Airport after a tire reportedly burst shortly after takeoff and the aircraft suffered engine damage.
EXCLUSIVE: A Haitian gang member and illegal alien who defiantly told Fox News cameras "I'm not going back to Haiti" and shouted "Biden forever" during his viral U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest has been deported to Haiti by the Trump administration after spending 19 months in federal custody.
Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles was deported on an ICE flight originating in Louisiana, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News.
Sources told Fox News that Charles was extremely combative aboard the aircraft and made crude, profane and threatening remarks about President Donald Trump and his family during the deportation flight.
The deportation completes a dramatic reversal from Charles' arrest in Massachusetts on Jan. 22, 2025, when Fox News cameras captured him insisting he would not be returned to Haiti.
"I'm not going back to Haiti ... you feel me?" Charles said during the arrest. "F--- Trump," he added. "Biden forever bro."
Fox News witnessed the arrest as ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers took Charles into custody in Massachusetts, just days after Trump returned to the White House.
DHS identifies Charles as a member of the Back Block Money Gang and says he had accumulated 17 criminal convictions.
His criminal history included convictions for assault and battery on a public employee, resisting arrest, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, possession with intent to distribute a Class D controlled substance, possession of controlled substances, carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying ammunition without a firearm identification card and trespassing, according to DHS.
Charles remained in federal custody for approximately 19 months after his arrest as his immigration case proceeded.
...
"This illegal alien gang member from Haiti had quite the rap sheet, with convictions for assault and battery on a public employee, resisting arrest, and drug trafficking, among other heinous crimes," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "He went viral for praising Biden as he was getting arrested, because he knew that the Biden Administration's open borders turned America into a paradise for criminals like him. The Trump Administration has finally done what both the Obama and Biden Administrations failed to do and deported this criminal back where he belongs."
EXCLUSIVE: Remember the Haitian illegal alien gang member who vent viral to our cameras for yelling "F**k Trump, Biden forever!" & "I'm not going back to Haiti!" during his ICE arrest in Boston last year?
Hollywood Is Fake and Gay: Wolverine Is Gay, Green Lantern Only Got the Ring Because of White Privilege
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I haven't bothered covering HBO's Lanterns show because, at this point, who cares.
The show is being run by woke clown no-talent Damon Lindeloff, who previously turned HBO's Watchmen series into hardcore racial agitprop with a pronounced black-cuck fetish. And the other show-runner is an extremely woke DEI black woman.
If you're not a comics fan, I'll explain the Green Lantern: Hal Jordan, a fearless test pilot, was chosen as the bearer of a Green Lantern ring, which confers incredible power on the user and makes the user a member of the intergalactic super-police, the Green Lantern Corps. Basically Jedis in spandex.
The Corps had previously never considered giving barbarous earthlings a power ring, but Hal Jordan was such a standout -- eventually acknowledged as the greatest Green Lantern -- that rings were given to additional earth-men, including John Stewart, a black architect.
In the new woke hard-core black supremacist version of the show, John Stewart's father was considered for the ring before Hal Jordan, but was rejected from the program. They showed him something scary and asked "Are you afraid?" He answered "Yes," and they moved on to the next candidate (Hal Jordan), because it is critical that a Lantern be fearless.
Later, the people who give out the rings, the Guardians, paid a visit to the Stewart family to make sure they were doing okay. John Stewart's mother launched into a Proud Black Woman lecture -- everyone take heed, a Black Woman is speaking and we are listening. She said to the intergalactic super-being, "How dare you ask a black man if he is afraid," because black people are permanently terrified in America, and then asserted, without contradiction, that Hal Jordan, having "white privilege," would of course not be afraid of anything so the whole game was rigged, as usual, against The Black Man.
The writers and show-runners confirmed that this was supposed to be an accurate statement about race in America. They say the want to "start conversations," but if you tell them this is nasty racialist propaganda, they'll cancel you for your racism.
Damon Lindeloff has previously shown he has some kind of gay black cuck fetish, and again shows that here. He makes a point to show John Stewart having sex with the wife of a literal white supremacist leader. And then, bizarrely, the white supremacist leader strips off his clothes and demands that John Stewart -- here an artist instead of an architect -- draw him and his naked dong. Just like the "dram me like your French girls" scene from Titanic, except gay and weird.
Oh, and the show also includes a "surprising amount of naked penises." No boobs, just dicks. Showing naked women is exploitative and low-brow, showing naked dicks every half-hour is Elevated and Artistic.
These are Prestige Dicks.
OUT: The Male Gaze
IN: The Male Gays
This is a DC superhero show.
Oh, and in this version of the story, John Stewart is not a colleague of Hal Jordan, but his Superior Replacement -- let's not be subtle about this, let's make it clear that black men are superior in every way-- and John Stewart beats the crap out of the man formerly considered the greatest Green Lantern in history and takes his ring from him.
Oh, and in the first episode, Hal Jordan is shown to be dead and murdered later in the season. White erasure, I think they would call it.
Paramount is holding internal meetings about the growing backlash to HBO's shows, sources tell Cosmic Book News.
"I heard 'meetings' are taking place to address the growing backlash to the shows," a source said. "They've spent ungodly amounts of money on Harry Potter and they plan to spend much more to promote it."
The shows drawing the fire: Lanterns, HBO's Harry Potter, House of the Dragon, and now The People v. Gorilla Grodd.
Paramount is in the middle of closing its $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the deal that hands the Ellisons HBO and HBO Max.
"Keep it in mind when you see bots swarming your posts and everyone else dunking on HBO slop," the source said, referring to the bot accounts that swarm Cosmic Book News' own posts and social media whenever these shows come up. "The growing backlash to Lanterns, Potter, House of Dragon, and now Grodd got them worried."
Some of that backlash still shows up as viewership. People tune in to see the trainwreck.
The source says the studio knows that kind of watching doesn't pay.
"Negative engagement might pad the ratings a bit but wrecks ancillary income channels," the source said. "Hate watching does not translate into merch sales, DVD sales, book sales, etc."
...
"One thing many are missing: HBO is supposed to be 'appointment television, the home of The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, etc.,'" the source continued. "Having Grodd and Lantern Dicks be the new face of HBO is irking a lot of people."
That's the network that just greenlit a mockumentary where Jimmy Tatro plays Gorilla Grodd in a practical gorilla suit.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone premieres this Christmas on HBO. Asked what the studio can do about the show at this point, the source said the window has closed.
"Potter season 1 is done or very close to done," the source said. "Nothing they can do except hype up the good elements and ignore the bad casting choices."
...
"It's a brand problem. And the Ellisons are paying $$$$$ for that brand," the source said. "They need that brand to be Peak TV, Emmy magnets, the home of great directors and producers. Not the brand that normies associate with whatever Lanterns is."
You may remember a story from a couple of weeks ago: Comic Boon News reported, accurately, that Hal Jordan was shown dead with a bullet wound in his head in the first episode, and HBO filed a false copyright claim to suppress the story. They claimed they had a copyright over someone repeating a plot point from the show.
Meanwhile, there's a Wolverine videogame that's about to be released, and yes, it is lame and gay.
It's lame because it's not really a game. There are parts of the game that are supposed to be "Quick Time Events," a game mechanic which is ancient and considered lame already, but it's lamer still here, because the game will not let you fail these quick-time events. If you fail to push the buttons the game tells you to push, it just pushes them for you.
It's one of those "Push W to win" games, people say -- if you just hold down the "W" button to walk forward, you automatically win, because the "game" is mostly just a movie made with CGI that you watch rather than play.
And it's gay because the game's creators have decided that Wolverine's deadliest and most brutal foe, Sabertooth, is in some kind of gay chaste romance with him.
Sure, Sabertooth has been trying to murder Wolverine for 50 years, but beneath that, there is a tender longing and suppressed homosexual love.
Sabretooth Yearns For Wolverine In Insomniac's Game: "Hate And Love Are So Hand In Hand"
By Patrick Scanlon
The Washington Post's Marvel's Wolverine review landed at three stars, but the part getting passed around isn't the score. It's Sabretooth.
Reviewer Gene Park describes a scene during an assault on a military base where Sabretooth grabs the back of Logan's head, and Park reads the moment as longing, not menace.
Insomniac says that's exactly what it is.
"Hate And Love Are So Hand In Hand"
Narrative director Walt Williams told the Post the beat is written that way on purpose.
Logan feels the pull, gets scared, and backs off. Sabretooth feels the same pull, it hurts him, and he lashes out to push that hurt onto Logan.
"Hate and love are so hand in hand," Williams said.
He framed the rivalry as a loop: each one wounds the other, and the shared pain is what keeps them bound together.
Williams is the writer behind Spec Ops: The Line, the 2012 shooter that doubled as a psychological thriller.
Park's takeaway is that Insomniac left room for love inside Logan's most violent relationship.
By the way, the studio that produced this employed the services of Woke Compliance Officers "Sweet Baby Inc.," who have inserted gayness and Muh Representation into dozens of games, most of which subsequently failed. I don't know if this is their handiwork, but even if it is, it is Insomniac studios who implemented it and now proudly boast of it.
Alas, I agree. We've been watching this story for years and like all other stories about Democrat Party corruption and treasonous partnership with hostile foreign actors, nothing ever happens.
Dem fundraising giant ActBlue accused of fraudulent donation 'cover-up' in explosive report
ActBlue, which is used by a litany of high-profile Dems, is accused of accepting foreign donations
By Elizabeth Elkind
FIRST ON FOX: A Democrat fundraising giant used by the biggest players on the left is being accused of covering up the acceptance of fraudulent political donations and lying to Congress about its security standards.
Congressional Republicans are providing an update on their investigation of ActBlue -- a platform for campaigns to raise money that's used by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, among others -- that alleges the company potentially accepted foreign contributions and concealed the evidence from the GOP's probe.
ActBlue has previously denied any wrongdoing.
"The Committees' oversight has found that ActBlue, in its own words, decided to take 'a more lenient approach' to fraud prevention in 2024, weakening its fraud-prevention policies at least twice even though internal assessments showed that these changes would result in a measurable increase in fraudulent contributions," the report said, citing an ActBlue staff report.
"Similarly, internal trainings directed ActBlue's fraud prevention team to 'look for reasons to accept contributions' rather than to examine them closely for indicators of fraud -- as required by federal regulation. ActBlue took this lax approach to fraud prevention even though it had detected at least 22 significant fraud campaigns on the platform in recent years, including several from foreign sources."
Republicans accused ActBlue of accepting "illegal foreign political donations" and the "subsequent cover-up" of that information.
If you remember, ActBlue deliberately disabled its billing software's zip code check, so that foreigners could donate to Barack Obama without the system flagging these illegal donations.
They're now running a similar gain. Federal law requires a passport number be included by people donating from overseas.
ActBlue deliberately crippled its own system. Instead of actually checking if these were valid passport numbers belonging to US citizens entitled to donate to American politicians, ActBlue's system only checked if the string of numbers had the right number of numbers in it.
As an example,Mb< the report cited a letter by ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones to Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., which maintained that donations on the platform made by people with addresses outside the U.S. required a passport number for verification.
But Republicans 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.
They consider it a minor detail not worth looking into when an online donation comes from communist China:
The report also included excerpts purporting to show ActBlue supervisors green-lighting donations despite "red flags," including a memo lauding a donation as a "great accept" but noting, "Donor sometimes has an IP in Hong Kong, but none of their other signals raise any eyebrows."
Another communication appears to show an ActBlue supervisor maintaining that a denied contribution "should have been accepted." The rest of the memo stated, "It is a foreign contribution, but the name/email match, the IP/billing match, a full address with the correct country code, and there were previously accepted and successful contributions."
"The donor uses an Arkansas state code, which isn't great, but [the] system can be wonky with requiring state codes for foreign donors," the rest of the message stated.
An ActBlue supervisor also allegedly said a contribution "set off a lot of" alarms, but argued the donor should be given the "benefit of the doubt."
See if you can guess. What name would appeal to both left-wing gays and communists?
That's right -- "Pinko" magazine, the magazine for gay communists.
Jon Levine:
EXCLUSIVE: Mamdani Taps 'Gay Communist' for Senior Government Role: New Adviser Called for 'Abolition of Police' and 'Undoing Capitalism,' Condemned Gandhi as 'Anti-Black Misogynist'
Lena Afridi, who makes $185,000 a year at City Hall, is also an editor at Pinko magazine, 'a collective for thinking gay communism'
New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani named a self-proclaimed "gay communist" who has called for abolishing the police and "undoing capitalism" to a top post in his administration, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal.
Lena Afridi--who uses "they/them pronouns"--deleted much of her social media history shortly before arriving at City Hall, but the Free Beacon recovered her postings. She was quietly named to a senior adviser position in the mayor's office in April 2026, drawing a hefty salary of $185,000 a year, records show.
...
Multiple people in the Mamdani administration who knew Afridi told the Free Beacon they could not say what she did day to day, with one calling her a "strange person." Her portfolio appears to include supporting the city's opposition to ICE and other federal efforts to rein in so-called sanctuary cities.
Her? You mean "their," transphobes!
Before joining the administration, Afridi spent three years working as chief of staff for PowerSwitch Action, a nonprofit organization dedicated to "forging multiracial feminist democracy" and "grounded in breaking the interlocking chains of oppression."
The group openly bragged about their involvement in violent anti-ICE riots in Minnesota in a March 2026 blog post.
In addition to her government and advocacy work, Afridi is currently listed as an editor at Pinko, a magazine which describes itself as "a collective for thinking gay communism." On the masthead, she went by "L. Israh Afridi." Israh is an Arabic word for "night journey" that is sacred in Islam.
Earlier website iterations of Pinko touted the magazine as "communism for fags."
All communism is communism for fags.
And yes, if they can say it, I can say it too. I am not a slave and these degenerates are not my masters.
"What do we mean by communism? Something like the freedom not to have to seek our lives on the market, attained through the abolition of all forms of private property, family and the state," Pinko clarified in a 2019 blog post.
On X, Afridi posted multiple times about her support for "communism" and "gay communism."
Like many Mamdani staffers, Afridi quietly deleted her X account, @lpafridi, in the days leading up to her appointment--but in old posts uncovered by the Free Beacon, she offered a militant and uncompromising far-left agenda.
"On a personal note, outside of work: while I believe that defunding the NYPD is absolutely necessary in order to get much needed resources to the people, I *also* believe that the only way to achieve true liberation is not through reform but abolition of the police," she declared in June 2020.
Afridi has not been shy about leaning into her communist bona fides, posting in September 2021 that "undoing capitalism" was the only way to stop climate change.
Afridi is a close friend of Cea Weaver, the notorious top Mamdani housing official who's called home ownership "a weapon of white supremacy" and expressed a desire to "impoverish the white middle class."
This was intended as yesterday's quick hits, but news of Larry Kramer's potential criminal charges for perjury and obstruction of justice bumped it.
Although these Quick Hits were baked yesterday, they are still edible. Just put them under a wet paper towel and microwave them for 10 seconds.

Our crazy orange president needs to announce a plan to pack the court, just like Dems keep advocating.
He'll have Dems shouting that court packing is fascism, which will make for useful video clips down the road.
Just post it on Truth Social. Sit back and watch heads explode, with backflips.
I agree. I had intended to say so in the earlier post. The left keeps threatening to pack the court 1, to make the public accept it when they do it, and 2, to in the meantime pressure the "conservative" majority to sell out to the left to forestall them from packing the court.
I say we leverage the court's fear of popular backlash in our own favor. We should campaign to pack the court with six hard-core based conservatives.
And then let Kavanaugh and Roberts and Coney-Barret write decisions to appease us.
And look, the left is going to pack the court. This isn't just bluffing.
Do we have to play the faintheart sucker forever? Can we not act decisively in our own interests, ever?
FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday confirmed that the Trump administration was working to create legislation to target "birth tourism," the practice of traveling to the U.S. to give birth and secure citizenship for newborns.
Patel made the remarks during an appearance before Senate lawmakers of the Judiciary Committee.
"We are following the federal statutes that we have on the books right now, and we're working with our partners in Congress to draft new legislation to give us new authorities to make sure that we can combat the threat," he said, according to Politico.
Better act quick. Chinese billionaires are basically filling up America with their clones.
A woman has discovered she is carrying a baby for reclusive Chinese gaming billionaire Xu Bo, who has allegedly fathered hundreds of children.
"The agency should've been very transparent from before getting matched ... about who it is that you're having a baby for and what the family is," she told CBS News.
He's creating his own horde of descendants in, as John Kerry would say, in a manner reminiscent of Jengis Khan.
The woman, whom CBS identified as "Judy" to protect her identity, made the comments in one of the first public accounts from a surrogate carrying a child for Xu.
Judy told the station she has repeatedly tried to meet the man for whom she is carrying the baby, but none have taken place. "It leaves me wondering: do I even have a right to know?" she said.
Her involvement with surrogacy began after she came across an AD on Instagram. It offered $120,000 to become a surrogate.
Judy, a single mom raising a seven-year-old, saw it as an opportunity to earn enough money to move into a home of her own.
"I wanted to build a better life for me and my daughter," she said.
Judy eventually signed an agreement with Patriot Conceptions. She said the agency described the intended parent as a single father who wanted to grow his family.
The California Post reached out to Patriot Conceptions about Judy's claims.
In a statement, Patriot Conceptions confirmed that they were the agency for Xu's surrogate Judy. They also clarified that they had "zero affiliation" with a separate Arcadia case featured in CBS's story.
"Conflating our agency with those unrelated arrangements is materially misleading," they said.
Moreover, the agency said that Xu presented himself as a "single father seeking to build a family" and that when revelations over his activities became public, they "recommended terminating the contract" with him.
...
On Weibo, Xu has posted fantasies of his offspring one day marrying Musk's children, according to the Journal.
This superfecudity strategy is insane and should be criminalized. It's dangerous -- when you secret sire a literal Mongolian horde of children, the odds become pretty good that sons will begin marrying sisters, having no idea that they're direct blood relatives.
Spain's socialist bitch Pedro Sanchez wants the cameras to see him shaking hands with an African migrant. He was probably not happy to see the cameras caught him vigorously wiping off his hand after "welcoming" the immigrant.
Karl Rove, former adviser to President George W. Bush and longtime Texas GOP political consultant, said he is planning to vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the state's oil and gas production.
The statements come after Republican candidate Bo French published comments on X that critics called racist. The post showed a photo of students celebrating the University of Texas football game on Sunday, many of which appear non-White.
He's vag-mad that the Secretary of War sometimes orders men into, um, war.
The Pentagon came out swinging on Tuesday after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., read articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the prosecution of the Iran war.
Massie's articles focused on the continued involvement of U.S. forces in active fighting past the 60-day maximum, after which the White House must seek authorization from Congress. The Iran war began in late February and was subject to a nominal ceasefire for several weeks. The Trump administration previously argued that the official pause in fighting reset the clock.
After Massie's remarks on the House floor, however, the Pentagon embraced a defiant tone, with press secretary Kingsley Wilson telling reporters that "Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War. Standards and merit are back, our arsenal is stronger than ever before, and morale and recruitment across every service are at all-time highs."
WTF???!!! This is insane! NBC made Lindsay Clancy juror Kellie Farina re-answer a question - but they left her initial response in the video! This is at the 32:08 mark in the interview, watch:
Interviewer: "Do you think that she should be re-tried?"
Farina: "I would like to see her be re-tried, absolutely."
Then the interviewer looks off screen and gestures to someone. Was that a signal to edit that part out because they didn't like her answer? Then she stumbles through asking the EXACT same question!
Interviewer: "You think, you think, you would like she should be re- re-tried?"
Then they cut to another camera shot for Farina to re-answer the question.
Farina: "I would like him NOT to re-try her."
What is this? They didn't even edit out Farina's initial answer which was that she WOULD like Lindsay to be re-tried! In the span of 10 seconds, you can watch Farina basically say "yes" and "no" to literally the same question.
How can we believe anything these jurors say? If a juror answers a question in a way the media doesn't like they make them re-do the question with a different answer? How many other times has this happened? Fake. News. What a disgrace...

🚨NEW: An Essex pest controller says "monster rats" are spreading across the UK. Paul Claydon of Fast Track Pest Control said he has never seen so many rats, or such large ones, with some reaching 16-inches long.
The favorite sandwich of legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is remarkably simple: cheese on bread -- but not just any cheese.
"What is the best sandwich?" late-night television host Stephen Colbert asked Starr during a 2021 appearance on "The Late Show."
"I don't have a lot of them anymore, but cheese," Starr answered. He said he loved cheese before clarifying, "But it has to be goat cheese now."
When Colbert questioned his preference for goat cheese, Starr said, "I don't eat anything from the cow because the molecules are so big. Have you seen a cow? The molecules are so big. And that's why if you drink a glass of milk, you're full. With a goat, it's a good size for our bodies."
Haven't I been trying to tell you guys for 20 years that the molecules in cow's milk are too big?
Fake News "NHL Reporter" Blasts Sydney Sweeney for Using Her Body to Sell Merch... But Of Course Previously Posted a Booby Bikini Photo to Sell "Hot Girls for Hockey" Merch
—Disinformation Expert Ace
That's only the first part of this embarrassing hypocrisy.
The second part is this "reporter" doubling down and insisting that because she showed her boobies to sell merch to women, that's totes different than Sydney Sweeny using boobies to sell a gambling service to men.

Nobody cares that Sydney Sweeney got naked. The issue is the implication that women's only value in sports is to be decoration for male consumption.
Also, body shaming a hypothetical woman while pretending to defend women's choices is a pretty spectacular way to miss the point.

Pointing out that a sports betting company is leaning on the same tired "hot woman = male attention" formula is not telling Sweeney what to do with her body.

The fact that I've posted a bikini photo doesn't mean I forfeited the right to criticize how women are sexualized in sports marketing. If anything, dragging up a two-year-old photo of my body instead of addressing the argument is proving the point all over again.
Proving I'm a liar and a hypocrite is just proving her point that women are sexualized in sports marketing. Including of course her own sexualization of herself in sports marketing.

Over time - and over the past several years in particular - a common theme has arisen on these pages and in the wider world: the loss of trust. The loss of trust, be it institutional or personal, is easy to identify and straightforward to describe, but it can be difficult to internalize. It is hard, as Heinlein might put it, to grok it. Even if one acknowledges a loss of trust and intellectually understands that it has happened, nothing will prevent him from appealing to a trust that no longer exists. The concept of trust, and especially institutional trust, is deeply ingrained.
This phenomenon is what leads to baffling thinkpieces about how, despite the risks involved, an institution (usually a government) should be permitted to do X, Y or Z because the benefits are so great and the risks are small unless there are are dishonest operators. Such thinkpieces should be impossible to produce with any amount of seriousness in Current Year, yet they still come, sometimes from unlikely quarters. On Monday, JJ's Morning Report linked to just such a thinkpiece, published in the American Thinker.
That article, A Defense Of License Plate Readers, tries to build a case that automatic license plate readers - "ALPR" systems - like Flock are totally fine. It highlights perfectly a now baffling appeal to trust, as well as dipping into "ends justify the means" territory and supporting it with strawmen. It starts out with the appeal to trust, right in its sub-headline:
Should we dismantle a super-valuable law enforcement tool just because it's theoretically possible to abuse it?
Set aside for a moment that the risks are demonstrably not merely theoretical. The position itself is baffling. If anyone has not learned over the past decade that there is no daylight between a potential risk and a realized risk when it comes to government operations, that person is engaged in self-delusion.
But the article doesn't jump right in. In traditional fashion, it starts with a harrowing tale of a violent crime where the offender was found thanks to an ALPR system. There has to be some gut-tugging pathos right up front if the reader can be expected to ignore all of the problems to follow. If it saves just one life, dotchyaknow. After the emotional hook comes the false equivalence: that this is really no different from running a plate during a traffic stop, it's just a teeny little bit broader:
... Officers routinely consult computer-aided dispatch records; driver and vehicle databases; the National Crime Information Center (NCIC); the Interstate Identification Index (III); and various local, state, and regional intelligence systems. These resources allow officers to perform a wide array of investigative tasks. Officers routinely use them to identify wanted persons, locate stolen property, review criminal histories, and share intelligence with other agencies.
An ALPR database performs a very similar function. At its most basic level, it records that a publicly displayed license plate, attached to a particular vehicle, passed a particular location at a particular time. ...
Thus, consulting an ALPR database is not fundamentally different from querying a license plate or driver's license during a traffic stop or checking a suspect for warrants. Each task involves access to information for a legitimate law enforcement purpose. ...
Sure. Pull the other one. It jingles. These things are obviously not the same. One usually involves a traffic stop or, at least, human effort. That requires either a reason to engage in the query (the traffic stop) or enough desire to manually collect and run license plate numbers. Throwing out acronyms and drawing false equivalencies doesn't help the argument, but it does help confuse the issue - and so the tactic is useful.
Much later in the article comes the acknowledgment that these things are in fact different, but with an assertion that the difference should be ignored and can be obviated through arbitrary distinctions:
A routine license plate check begins with a vehicle that is already encountered by an officer. By contrast, ALPR cameras automatically collect the plate information of all vehicles that pass by. A network of cameras can then assemble those observations much more efficiently than individual officers watching traffic.
One concern that has been expressed is that ALPRs can be used to reconstruct one's location and activity history. This is a legitimate concern, and the solution is to adopt rules suited to the scale to which an ALPR system is used. Although a single ALPR hit is not the same thing as GPS tracking, broad or prolonged tracking should require a higher level of approval. In some cases, warrants should be required. However, short-term searches for a stolen car are not the same as reconstructing months of someone's movements.
In this case, they are the same. The dragnet is there and the panopticon is built. Setting a time limit on queries that needs a rubber stamp to override it is not a solution. To think it could be a solution is to still be burdened by institutional trust. That the writer has this burden is obvious from elsewhere in the article:
Every useful technology comes with risks. An officer can misuse a driver's license database to obtain an ex-girlfriend's address. A dispatcher can access criminal history or CAD notes without a legitimate reason. A detective can leak confidential information to a friend. Such conduct is already prohibited, and many officers have lost their law enforcement certifications and have been prosecuted for improperly accessing restricted information.
The problem with the "misuse" objection is that it proves way too much. If possible or actual misuse is enough to stop the public implementation of some technology, then it would apply to almost every government tool or power that has ever been used (whether in a criminal, civil, or administrative context). ...
Your terms are acceptable. Getting rid of ALPR systems would be a good start on a wider stand-down of mass surveillance technologies. The more the merrier. None of it - and none of its operators - can be trusted. "Misuse" (which I increasingly think is the wrong word, since these systems appear to be designed to be used in the "wrong" way) is not a risk, it is an inevitability - and it occurs almost immediately.
The entire class of thinkpieces from "conservatives" trying to rationalize mass surveillance technology with a rich history of egregious behavior by its operators is baffling. What about mass surveillance is suddenly rock-ribbed? Nothing. It comes from, I think, two sources. The first is vestigial trust, the belief that the system can be "safeguarded against abuse." It can't. Recent and more distant history does not show any success in safeguarding any system against abuse, which is why good systems design aims for systems that are smaller rather than larger and decentralized rather than centralized.
Outside of a poorly-construct and weak appeal to non-existent trust, I think there may be something more pernicious involved in some this: short-sighted faith that it's okay because "we're in charge." If you didn't click the links, go read the EFF and ILJ reports I referenced just below the fold. EFF in particular chose to cherry-pick specific abuses that are mostly around communist agitators like "No Kings" and abortion clinics while the ILJ focuses more on immigration and personal abuses like stalking, with no mention of any of these dragnets going against conservatives. Reports like these help provide a false sense of security to the "other side" - these systems are working for you! Comfort in advocating for these systems simply because "your side is in charge," if that is part of it, is short-sighted and foolish to the point of stupidity because even if it's true - and it isn't, as the last decade thoroughly demonstrates - "your side" will not be in charge forever.
Articles like this one that extol putative benefits but not the record of abuses, choose "safeguarding" and "rules" as a solution, hearken back to a world of trust that no longer exists, set up strawmen and drift into "the ends justify the means" territory on the back of bloody pathos are themselves prime evidence of core weakness of argument. Universal mass surveillance dragnets are a bad idea, are designed to be "misused" and are antithetical to liberty - and mental gymnastics in weak thinkpieces can do nothing to change that
SCOTUS Denies Stay on Ruling Blocking Trump Mail-In Ballot Restrictions: Alito and Thomas dissented: “Some of the plaintiffs lack standing, while the remainder are pursuing a claim that this Court has recently called a ‘Hail Mary pass’ that ‘rarely succeeds.’”
Did the Supreme Court’s liberal justices slow-walk their dissents in litigation over President Trump’s mail-in voting order to run out the clock on its implementation for the 2026 midterms? That seems to be what Justice Samuel Alito subtly suggested in the court’s most recent ruling on the subject
And so on the one hand, the Leftists want to pack the court with their political allies who will subvert the Constitution and the guiding principles of American and western jurisprudence to advance their Sharia-esque goal o absolute power and control via the advancement and forcing of their preferred insane policies on our society and people. Most recently and vociferously from Mayor Buttplug, who potentially may announce a run for the presidency in 2028.
Considering the surge in popularity of the Democrat Socialites, this fringe madness could be mainstreamed faster than we imagine. Certainly if SCOTUS continues to abrogate its duty to defend the Republic and the rule of law, we are going to wake up in a nightmare.
The basis for Muslim political donations in the United States, is preventing non-Muslims from “coalescing amongst themselves and uniting” to defend themselves. This isn’t civic participation: it’s the tribal divide and conquer politics of the origins of Islamic colonialism and imperialism. . . Muslim PACs previously claimed that they were just people representing their communities. The Fiqh system pulls back the curtain to show a central body of Islamic scholars trying to use money to control the outcome of American elections for “benefitting the Ummah” (meaning the global Muslim community’s local or foreign interests) “either in one’s own country or locality (such as countering a clearly anti-Muslim politician with an agenda of harm) or internationally.”
Any politician taking money routed through this method would be acting as a puppet for an Islamic theocracy which would be using them to covertly exert its control over Americans.
It’s hard to think of anything more un-American than a foreign theocracy hijacking our elections.
Yeah, that's crazy talk right there, you conspiracy nutters! So let's all lose our heads (pun intended) over this, But AI! Oh no, it's Armageddon...
Governor Hochul’s intervention suggests that there was a real chance that Mariano would have lost his case in the Supreme Court. The pardon not only shields a migrant with a violent criminal history from deportation but also derails a critical Supreme Court clarification on the rights of noncitizens in prolonged detention. The case also shows that Democrats are prepared to pardon violent criminals and jeopardize the safety of American communities to spite President Donald J. Trump and his administration’s crackdown on migrant crime. Dem Governor Pardons Migrant Felon to Stop His Deportation.

The move should come as no surprise. Both Rubio and Donald Trump have been clear from the beginning of the president's term that it's time for Europe and various NATO allies to step up and spend more of their own money on their defense.

President Trump’s claim that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure was undercut within hours by the new attacks, diminishing the perception of his announcement as a signal that de-escalation was at hand.

Trump-appointed FBI Director Kash Patel echoed Trump's recent sentiments on Flock cameras and defended the FBI's access to and use of the cameras, telling the Senate Judiciary Committee he believes Flock license-plate cameras are not mass surveillance because they are in public places, so people should not expect privacy there.
He also argued the FBI does not get constant access to the data and only asks for information after it already has a lead, such as a photo of a car.
However, in Carpenter v. United States, the Supreme Court said people have a privacy right in the record of the whole of their movements, even if each trip is on a public road.
A large camera network that stores old license-plate hits can show where a person has been for days or weeks, including which doctors they visit, which protests they may attend, whether they go to gun stores or visit gun ranges for target practice, and much more.
That kind of stored travel history is closer to the cell-phone location records the Court said generally need a warrant.
Kash Patel has his moments where he shines - like during recent exchanges with members of Congress. But this is a reprehensible take on his part. We really have nobody on our side, do we?

Those of you who have traveled in mountainous areas have probably seen runaway truck ramps on the side of the road. But have you ever actually seen anyone use one?
The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) shared a recently-captured video of a runaway semi truck using an escape ramp along I-70.
CSP said that the video was captured a few days ago on westbound I-70 coming down Eisenhower Pass.
Troopers shared the video to encourage drivers to use the ramps if necessary and to educate motorists on how to respond if they see a commercial vehicle that needs to use a ramp due to brake failure.
“If you are driving down the road and observe a runaway semi-truck coming towards you in your rearview mirrors, stay calm and attempt to merge to the left, as all runaway truck ramps in Colorado are on the right shoulder. This will allow the truck to safely enter the ramp without colliding with anyone,” CSP said.
The most impressive science fiction stories emphasize “science” over spectacle. The Star Trek franchise has featured plenty of examples since the original series premiered 60 years ago this month, but one of its most famous sci-fi moments may prove even more fascinating than fans realized. At Brazil’s Federal University of ABC, physicist Níckolas de Aguiar Alves determined that an early episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation demonstrates an aspect to the theory of relativity even better than its creators likely anticipated.
Season One’s ninth episode, “The Battle,” introduces a bit of backstory to Jean-Luc Picard’s illustrious career in the Federation. Years before he became captain of the USS Enterprise, Picard oversaw a ship called the Stargazer when it came under fire from an unknown assailant. Picard needed to navigate closer to the mystery attacker before responding, but the Enterprise’s shields were down.
The captain then quickly improvised what later became known as the “Picard Maneuver.” He ordered his crew to rush their foe at warp speed (faster than the speed of light) then quickly halt and begin firing. Relativistic physics dictated that if Stargazer traveled faster than visible light, it would technically generate two images of the ship from their attacker’s point of view—one Stargazer at the location just prior to warp speed, then a Stargazer where it halted. The operation was risky, but it gave Picard and his crew a 50/50 chance that the enemy would continue firing on an afterimage of Stargazer.
***
In actuality, Picard’s Maneuver wouldn’t result in two Stargazer ships; it would make three of them. This is because Picard’s crew didn’t travel at a constant speed during the gambit–they first sped up, then stopped closer to their opponent. That means Stargazer technically accelerated not once, but twice. This makes all the difference.

"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.
