Software "Glitch" in Democrat-Riddled NJ Allows That Thing the Media Democrat Party Says Never Happens to Happen 6600 Times
—Disinformation Expert Ace
A "glitch" permitted 6,600 illegal aliens to sign up to vote, and we know at least 400 did illegally vote.
Deb Heine at AmGreatness:
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill (D.) announced Tuesday that a "software error" in the state's Motor Vehicle Commission system registered 6,600 non-citizens to vote between June 2023 and June 2024 even though they had indicated they were not U.S. citizens on driver's license and ID applications.New Jersey is one of approximately 31 states that has refused to provide full, unredacted voter registration lists to the Department of Justice for the Civil Rights Division's ongoing review of U.S. voter rolls.
Sherrill emphasized that the error happened "under the previous administration" and alleged that a preliminary analysis showed that fewer than 400 of these individuals actually cast ballots in elections.
Sherill was preceded by Democrat Governor Phil Murphy, who appears to have concealed the issue after it was caught in 2024.
She told reporters during a news conference Tuesday that it was unacceptable that the "previous administration" didn't bring the system error to light and demand accountability.
..."I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024" she added. "The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system."
What about the other thousands of illegal aliens on your rolls?
She then pivoted to, get this: Trump.
...Sherrill also took the opportunity to bash President Trump's election integrity efforts and patted herself on the back for taking immediate action to fix the problem.
She stated that Trump has "zero credibility on the issue" due to his efforts to expose how the 2020 election was rigged.
DHS Secretary Mullin says she wants to close this file ASAP because NJ still has around 35,000 illegal aliens on the rolls, and they want to keep those illegal voters:
"This should've been done a LONG time ago," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin posted on X. Just ONE illegal vote cancels out the vote of a U.S. citizen. As @DHSgov reported last week--New Jersey could have as many as 35,152 potential non-citizens registered to vote. Looking forward to working with you to secure your elections in the future."
I wouldn't hold your breath.

BLM Activists Bully James Talarico Into Admitting How Extreme His Leftwing Politics Really Are
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I wrote about the fat BLM loudmouth bullying this Sensitive Sally earlier.
What I missed was how productive the BLM activist was, both for her own grifting career and for Republicans.
James Talarico has a history of taking the most extreme possible positions on issues. However, during this election cycle, he has tried to not talk about his positions. He isn't renouncing them or even "distancing himself" from them. He just doesn't want to say what he believes in, apart from "the working class."
This BLM grifter demanded he co-sign on to every extreme black-racist political agenda item and Talarico, being a sad cuck, couldn't help but obey her.
Team Cruz @TeamTedCruzIn one four-minute, off-the-cuff answer, Talarico managed to advocate for or say all of the following:
- Reparations are part of his faith tradition.
- Race-based tuition relief.
- Race-based homeownership grants.
- Race-based baby bonds.
- Slavery still defines modern Texas.
- Government must "repair" the past.
- When Democrats win the Senate they will enact reparations
- The George Floyd Act was "transformational."
- Washington must protect Americans "from police violence."
- Shows like 'Cops' promote violence

Democrats Push Unhinged Racialist Propaganda as Republicans Probe the Smithsonian for Its Rampant Leftwing Bias
—Disinformation Expert Ace
"The museum does not take sides,' a Smithsonian official declared, perjuring herslef.
'The museum does not take sides': Smithsonian official defends institution amid Trump criticismA scathing White House report accused museum leaders of "radical" activism.
The director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (MNAH) defended its work in a congressional hearing on Tuesday morning amid sharp criticism from the White House over the contents of the Washington, D.C. museum."Our work is governed by the Smithsonian standards of scholarship, accuracy, independence, and nonpartisanship," Anthea Hartig said. "The museum does not take sides in America's political debates. We preserve and document the evidence of American life in all of its breadth, so that the public can encounter the past and draw their own conclusions."
Hartig's comments came during her opening remarks to lawmakers in a House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency hearing titled "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past."
She is also expected to testify in a related hearing on Wednesday before the Committee on House Administration, a committee spokesperson confirmed to ABC News.
Hartig was named in a scathing White House Domestic Policy Council report released on July 4, accusing the MNAH and its leadership of engaging in "extreme political activism" and presenting "a radical view of American history."
She pushed back against the report's findings on Tuesday.
...
Hartig's testimony this week marks the first time that a top leader at the Smithsonian gets grilled publicly by Congress after President Donald Trump targeted the institution in his March 27, 2025 executive order, "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History."
The executive order directed Vice President J.D. Vance, in consultation with the president's advisers on domestic policy, "to remove improper ideology" from Smithsonian institutions, arguing that materials that cast America in a "negative light" have no place in federal cultural institutions.
...
The report accuses the museum of "anti-White activism," "illegal alien activism," and "transgender activism." It also includes many photos of materials the White House has identified as problematic.
It also accused the museum's leaders of not loving America.
"The serious concerns raised in this report are not about a few exhibits or a few controversial labels," the report says. "As it stands today, it would benefit most Americans, especially parents bringing their children for a tour, if the Smithsonian's flagship history museum had a label at every entrance that reads: 'Warning: the exhibits in this museum were prepared by people who don't want you to love your country.'"
Hartig pushed back against this claim on Tuesday and invited lawmakers to visit the museum to view its contents themselves.
"I believe what you will find, madams and sirs, is not an institution that has forgotten its country, but one that loves it enough to tell the full sweep of history, our triumphs and our struggles," she said. "I love the United States of America. I consider it the privilege of my career to help preserve its treasures and serve the American people."
Yes, the Democrats' "love" of America continues to be the same kind of "love" shown to Tina Turner by Ike Turner. Baby I love you so much, can't you see how much it hurts me when you make me abuse you?
The director of this DEI shitshow was grilled by Republican congressmen at today's hearing, with Democrats shrieking that it's "white supremacy" to demand neutral standards in a publicly-funded museum.
The director of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Anthea M. Hartig, came under fire on Tuesday at a congressional hearing over a recent White House report that accused her of "radical activist ideology" and the museum of undermining "faith in American institutions."...
Representative Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican and chairman of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, an arm of DOGE that held the hearing, focused on content in two recent exhibitions: "Entertainment Nation," which explores the history of entertainment and "Girlhood (It's complicated)," which discussed gender identity.
"You have pictures of bondage, you have some overtly sexual things up there, you have transgendered folks," he said. "In another exhibit, a 6-year-old girl asked why she doesn't have male genitalia. Do you really think that content is appropriate for children? I mean, do you think little girls have penises?"
Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina asked Ms. Hartig to list how many genders there are and said, "When was your gender revealed to you?"
The museum director responded, "I don't really think that's relevant to the conversation" and generally answered in measured tones, explaining at one point that the "Girlhood" show "was not designed for children" and had a label informing parents about some of the topics.
Ms. Hartig contested the thrust of the recent White House report about the museum she leads.
"We unwaveringly attest that it does not fairly or accurately characterize the full body of work at the museum," Ms. Hartig said at the hearing, "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past," while acknowledging that "there is always room for improvement."
"When historians talk about reframing a traditional narrative, we don't mean erasing it," she continued. "We mean adding the evidence, the voices, the objects that earlier tellings left out so that more Americans can see themselves reflected in the national story.

John Solomon: The Same Media Who Proclaimed That China's Theft of 40 Million Voter Records from the UK Was a Major Breach Now Says That China's Hacking of 220 Million American Voter Files is NBD
—Disinformation Expert Ace
And it's not just that. A few days ago I linked an email in which an American intel officer complained about the inconsistent -- and corrupt -- treatment of the two cases. In the case of the UK voter files hacking, the American (liberal) intelligence Regime declared it to be what it was -- election interference.
But they refused to apply that same term to the theft of five and a half times as many US voter files. In fact, they "scrubbed" the language to remove any references to Chinese election interference in the US.
I didn't report what that whistleblower was complaining about when I mentioned it last time, only that he complained of inconsistent treatment of the same facts. This
report from John Solomon clarifies that the intelligence officer (and presumably whistleblower) was complaining that his higher-ups were protecting China (and the Democrat Party) by refusing to call a spade a spade.
When the Biden Justice Department announced that Chinese hackers had gotten their hands on Great Britain's publicly available voter files in 2024, American news media clamored with stories claiming it was a "dangerous" breach. The same, too, when U.S. officials announced Russia and Iran had hacked small numbers of U.S. voter files in 2020 and 2021.The reason was simple: U.S. intelligence agencies believe the targeting and acquisition of voter registration files is an act of election interference. "Election interference is a subset of election influence targeted at the technical aspects of the election, including voter registration, casting and counting of ballots and reporting of results," an October 2020 National intelligence Council report on election interference explains.
In other words, the compromising of election voter registration data, is, by the definition of intelligence agencies, an act of election interference.
Nothing to see here, move along, legacy media now saysWhen President Donald Trump presented confirmed evidence last Thursday night that China had compromised and obtained 220 million American voter registration files, the news media swung 180 degrees in the opposite direction. They argued it was old news (it was not) and not a big deal because you can buy limited data in America related to voter registration commercially. According to security experts, that limited data accessibility is not the same thing.
The intelligence agencies in the very documents that Trump declassified and made public for his announcement show the voting integrity and security concerns.
In 2022, the National Security Agency became especially concerned that China had escalated its exploitation of voter data by assigning a "CNE." That's a person or unit who are hackers and cyberthieves. Legacy news media have ignored this fact, while center-right-leaning publications were not as quick to dismiss the accuracy or impact of the data breach.
The Washington Times reported that "Trump said during his primetime address on Thursday that the People's Republic of China acquired 220 million U.S. voter files containing names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive information. Shortly after the speech, the White House released to the public dozens of declassified documents containing partially redacted findings, including data showing nearly 278,000 noncitizens who are registered to vote in federal elections and details over a "slow-walked" 2020 FBI investigation in Michigan."
Great Britain's voter files are commercially available in limited form like America's. But China got versions of the British that caused the Biden administration to indict China for hacking 40 million British voter files. According to the BBC, the British government called it "malicious" interference in their election.
In 2021, the Biden Justice Department indicted two Iranian hackers for accessing just 100,000 voter files from a single state where it is also commercially available. They were charged with criminally interfering in the 2020 election even though voter files are commercially available in limited form.
If China's acquisition of 40 million files in Great Britain and Iran's acquisition of 100,000 files in America were both charged as criminal election interference, it would seem the acquisition of 220 million voter files almost certainly would be considered by the intelligence community to be an act of interference.
At this point, what difference does it make?
Whether the data breach would have or could have flipped the election is beside the point. Experts interviewed by Just the News agreed. Former CIA operations officer Rick de la Torre called the news media's dismissal of Trump's claims "absurd."
"Of course, this is election interference," he added. "With that information, with that data, you know the Chinese government can exploit it. They can target specific individuals. They can do all kinds of things. They could request ballots. They could change people's identifications. They know now how they vote. They know what their political parties are. They know how often they vote."
"Imagine if China hacked into the Pentagon and stole every military service member's personnel file," he told Just the News. "You know, you wouldn't say, 'Oh well, that's not really a big deal. That's not a threat from a national security standpoint.' You know, that's absurd.
...
The suppression by intelligence officials for years of the voter file breaches and other Chinese malign actions is captured in documents showing FBI officials boasting they created a "shadow government" and NSA officials "massaged" the president's intelligence briefing to hide the evidence.
By 2021, after Trump left office, intelligence community officials marveled at the complete 180-degree pivot the Biden spy agencies did by suddenly suggesting China might be interfering in elections.
Nothing had changed. The voter data was known by frontline analysts to have been compromised the year before and was continuing. But all of a sudden, the language changed, a dynamic captured in this gem of an email from a top intelligence expert on election cyberactivities.
"Take a minute a read through this report," an intelligence officer wrote on Dec. 23, 2021. "It cites some of the same intel and logic used in 2020 to say that these same units were not engaged in election influence but were instead only issue focused, to now argue that China IS influencing the [redacted election."]
The intelligence community knew in 2020 that China had illicitly obtained voter files. They knew such an act met the definition of "election interference." They just suppressed it.
In case you missed it: an email admits the IC is "massaging" reports -- falsifying them, in so many words -- to avoid letting Trump know China is influencing US elections (in the Democrats' favor).

BLM Organizer Harrangues Hapless Homosexual James Talarico at Campaign Stop, Threatening "Consequences" If She is Not Racially Appeased
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Last month, unqualified DEI-charity case and uneducated moron Jasmine Crockett said she didn't know if she'd campaign for likely closeted white homosexual James Talarico. She said the entire race -- all of it -- was "racist," and she demonstrated Ghetto Entitlement by strongly implying that she wasn't just guaranteed the right to fairly compete for political office, but was guaranteed a win based on her race, sex, and DEI. And that anyone who interferes with that Guaranteed DEI Outcome is a racist.
Crockett argued that racism, not politics, was the deciding factor in her Democrat primary loss to James Talarico."The reality is that there was a lot of races, not a lot, it was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right? But we live in America as y'all are celebrating 250, okay? We know what this country is," Crockett said.
Crockett rejected criticism that she should have spent more time campaigning alongside Talarico. Instead, she said her strategy was to help down-ballot candidates, pointing to five black men she endorsed in Texas runoff races who all advanced to the November election.
"The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn't me standing on a stage with him," Crockett said. "It is the fact that I endorsed five candidates in the runoff who all happen to be black men in the state of Texas and every single one of them won."
She pushed back on criticism that she should have campaigned more directly for Talarico, saying giving voters multiple candidates to support is a more effective strategy for boosting turnout.
"People keep trying to say, 'Well, Jasmine has to go and hold his hand.' No, I don't," she said. "If you can give people more than one thing to vote for, then you have a better chance of getting them out to the polls."
...
Crockett previously said she does not believe black voters have fully united behind Talarico's Senate campaign and confirmed she will skip next week's Texas Democrat Party convention.
There is no "I" in team, but there is definitely an "I" in DEI.
As Talarico's supporters criticized Crockett for having promised to campaign for Talarico, if he should win, before her loss, and now refuses to do so, Talarico attempted to calm down the woman who has gotten her way her whole life precisely by not being calm about anything, telling his gay supporters to show the unrespectable Ratchett "respect."
James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, is speaking out against his supporters who have continuously disparaged his former opponent in the race, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett."If you claim to be my supporter, if you claim to be a part of this movement that we are building, please keep Congresswoman Crockett's name out of your mouth," Talarico demanded on Sunday during a town hall in Houston.
The remarks were significant as the residue of Talarico and Crockett's primary contest had continued to stain the Democratic nominee's campaign as he worked to win over Black voters, most of whom backed Crockett. Talarico was joined by U.S. Rep. Christian Menefee, who represents Texas's 18th Congressional District, and other Democratic leaders in Houston, an area that Crockett won over Talarico.
For months, both during and after the primary election, Crockett and her supporters have called out the racism and sexism she faced from those who claimed to support Talarico's campaign. However, Talarico said on Sunday that anyone who backs him should give Crockett the respect she deserves and has earned.
"She's a leader in this country, and she deserves the utmost respect," said Talarico, who described Crockett as a "friend" with whom he worked when they served together in the Texas State House of Representatives.
Well, the kind of voter Ratchet bases her whole appeal on doesn't want "respect." They want Guaranteed DEI Outcomes.
So they, like Ratchet herself, are shouting angrily. I can't stress this enough -- this is their whole plan to get people to give them things, shouting and making unreasonable demands and calling people "racist."
At a campaign stop, Ratchet's Strategically Unreasonable supporters shouted down the dweebishly gay Talarico and told him there would be "consequences" for not giving them more respect, which means what it always means in BLMese, which is privileges and outcomes not earned by coerced by racial bullying.
Obviously, I'm happy that Jasmine Ratchet is putting out the word to her fellow race-based Democrats that they should boycott the senate election to teach whitey a lesson.
But I am getting tired of this whole BLM act:
Washington Free Beacon
@FreeBeaconTexas Democrat James Talarico appears to have a black voter problem.
As Talarico attempted to wind down a campaign stop in southwest Houston on Sunday, a black woman who was waiting to ask a question interjected to yell, "Black people don't trust you for this reason. And you cannot win without us. So you stay here, you answer our questions, or you suffer the consequences."

Michigan Appeals Court Reverses Two More Convictions in Fake-News Gretchen Whitmer "Fednapping" Prosecutions
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The Regime wants to prove that "right wingers" commit as much terrorism as left wingers.
But they don't.
So they have to manufacture offenses.
A Michigan appeals court on Monday overturned two more convictions related to the 2020 kidnapping plot of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, ruling that it was obligated to overturn the convictions based on precedent.Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were previously convicted of providing material support for an act of terrorism in the plot, alongside Joseph Morrison, whose conviction was overturned by a different appeals panel last month.
The new appeals court ruled that it was obligated to apply that ruling to Musico and Bellar as well and overturn the convictions, according to the Associated Press.
None of the three men were accused of playing a direct role in the plot to kidnap the governor and the courts said kidnapping does not qualify as a "violent felony" under Michigan's anti-terrorism law.
Although none of the men had a direct role in the plot, they were part of a paramilitary group that trained with Adam Fox, who was convicted of leading the plot and is serving 16 years in prison for the crime. A total of nine people were convicted in relation to the plot.
Meanwhile, in the UK, the Regime denied that there was any political or terroristic motive in the murder of a Reform Party official by a deranged communist.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced on Monday afternoon that it has charged a man with one count of murder in connection with the death of Brexit heroine Ann Widdecombe.Joshua Kerry, 28, of Byrley Road in Rotherham, is set to appear on Tuesday before the Westminster Magistrates' Court, where he will answer the charge of murdering former government minister Ann Widdecombe, who was killed in her Dartmoor home earlier this month at the age of 78.
While initial comments by the Devon and Cornwall Police claimed that there was no evidence for a political motive for the alleged murder, this was later overturned, and Counter Terror Policing South East took over the investigation.Kerry's charge on Monday was authorised by the Counter Terrorism Division of the Crown Prosecution Service, the CPS said in a statement.
The chief prosecutor for the Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, Frank Ferguson, said: "We have decided to prosecute Joshua Kerry for murder following a police investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe in Haytor, Dartmoor.
"Police enquiries into the defendant's motives are ongoing, including a potential political or terrorist connection."
...
Widdecombe, a strident free speech advocate and devout Christian, had been a mainstay of British public life for decades, serving as a Member of Parliament for Maidstone from 1987 to 2010, during which time she served as a government minister in the John Major government.

Border Patrol Wanted to Question Fauci's Catspaw Peter Daszak When He Returned from the Wuhan Lab in China.
The FBI Blocked Them from Asking Fauci's Pal Any Questions.
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul released new documents Monday that he said revealed the FBI stopped Customs and Border Patrol from searching and questioning Peter Daszak upon his return to the United States from China...
Paul said that CBP was prepared to stop Daszak, who was the president of EcoHealth Alliance at the time, when he landed in New York in February 2021, but was told by the FBI days before Daszak landed not to question him and the inspection never took place.
CBP was reportedly expected to ask Daszak about his contacts at the Wuhan lab, whether he collected or transported biological samples, and what happened during his trip to China.
Fauci refused to appear before Congress voluntarily to answer questions about his previous perjuries and obstructions of Congress, and is now facing a subpoena.
Anthony Fauci will face a subpoena to testify publicly in July, a lawmaker said Monday.According to a social media post from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been issued a subpoena to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
The development comes as Fauci said he would not voluntarily testify after previously agreeing to do so, Paul said.
"Today, I have issued a subpoena requiring him to testify before the Committee, in public, next month," Paul said in the post.
...
Conservative commentator Michael Knowles said Fauci committed "clear perjury" in 2024 congressional testimony during an appearance on NewsNation's "CUOMO," claiming the former public health official lied under oath about his contacts with the U.S. intelligence community over COVID-19's origins.
The accusation came on the heels of outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releasing a tranche of documents on her final day in office, which she said proved Fauci worked to suppress the truth about the coronavirus's lab-leak origins and U.S. funding of related research.
Knowles pointed to CIA memoranda and whistleblower accounts he said show Fauci did discuss COVID's origins with intelligence officials -- directly contradicting his 2024 sworn testimony.
"That was clear perjury, and that's within the statute of limitations," Knowles said. "We know that from CIA briefings. We know that from whistleblowers."
Note that if he lies again, he can be prosecuted.
But he will almost certainly plead the Fifth and answer no questions.
Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone's cool and in the shade.

After a generation of barely paying lip service to any conservative principles, the British Conservative Party got thrown out on its collective wide, flaccid ass. They were the UK equivalent of the worst of the GOPe, pandering to their supposed base while rushing headlong into EU-style globalist nonsense, caving to the left, and insulting their base by lying about the UK's uncontrolled legal and illegal immigration. The voters finally noticed, and the party lost 244 seats in the 2024 election...the worst beating in their history.
Four months after that curb-stomp, the Conservative Party elected Kemi Badenoch as their leader, it was one of the few wise decisions they have made in a very long time, even if they didn't realize what they had done.
She appeals to the base, understands that the party drifted away from classic conservative principles, and isn't a bullsh*t artist..she actually told the truth about the defeat in 2024.
And now she seems to be purging the squishes from the party, and that is a fine thing! Will she be able to reinvigorate the Conservative Party? Yes, but reclaiming its losses will be a very long slog. Nigel Farage's recent legal difficulties notwithstanding, his support will almost certainly go mainly to Restore Britain, but Badenoch is charging ahead with her reinvention of the Conservative Party into a...conservative party!
In what looks like the start of a purge of the Tory 'wets', Gavin Barwell has been told he will not get the Tory whip back following a leave of absence from the House of Lords.The move comes just days after Mrs Badenoch warned that former Tory MPs would not be reselected as candidates if they refused to back her stance on issues like leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and taking a more pragmatic approach to Net Zero.
She is playing for keeps, and it is clear that she understands that a party that tries to be all things to all people will fail.
Here is a columnist from one of Britain's socialist newspapers, predictably frantic that the twin shibboleths of the left: climate and "human rights," will be put on the back burner in favor of actual English people!
Kemi declares war on net zero - and what remains of her party
So as of last week, Kemi has put anyone who believes the UK should be meeting its net zero targets by 2050 on the proscribed list for prospective candidates for the Conservative party. Former Tory MPs with dangerously woke views like ... er ... thinking that it might already be too late to combat climate change are no longer welcome. And the same thing applies to any Conservative who still believes the UK should be signed up to the European court of human rights. From now on, anyone who falls into either of these camps is dead to Kemi.
More power to her! Any time the rabid, spittle-flecked left is in an uproar, it means that someone is over the target!

So, was it terrorism or merely tourism that was a bit too enthusiastic. I mean, really now...
A suspected anti-ICE terrorist has been taken into custody after allegedly carrying out an attack on a federal facility in Lower Manhattan, New York City. . . In a press conference following the attack, Assistant Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) James Barnacle claimed that Arrabaca was “looking to injure people and harm people“ and described the incident as an “anti-government attack,” citing materials found on Arrabaca, including a sign that read “ICE Off Our Streets.” “An FPS Protective Security Officer swiftly tackled and detained the agitator, sustaining minor injuries during the incident. Officers quickly recovered the suspect’s bag, which contained what appeared to be two pellet guns and a manifesto,” said the Department of Homeland Security in a public statement following the attack.
Wait, Arrabaca. Is that a Muslim or a coffee bean? To his credit Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading an effort to identify and combat the threat of "Left Wing Terrorism" which although is a redundancy is indeed and remains a threat to our national security coming as it historically has done from Central and South America.
But as is illustrated by what happened in Lower Manhattan as merely the latest in a very long string of Leftist terrorist acts over not just the past few years but over the course of decades, our nation and society are in mortal danger and perhaps on the verge of being snuffed out for good unless the Left is utterly eradicated from every corner of our society especially from our schools which is where this cancer originated and from where it continues to metastasize.
The latest annual National Education Association convention, as usual, focused on the union's radical political and social agenda...The education of children in the three Rs was nowhere to be found at the convention. No one expressed concern that the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) showed that reading scores are declining nationwide among fourth- and eighth-grade students. No state recorded gains in reading for either grade compared with 2022.
That the DSA and let's face it full on communism has a receptive and growing audience not just among the fringes of society but a growing number of supposedly ordinary Americans who will reflexively vote for the candidate who has the "D" after his/her name regardless of what they espouse or worse, because they have been brainwashed into believing that America, the free market and the principles that built this nation into the greatest in human history are evil failures that are making them and the rest of humanity miserable.
The Democratic Socialists of America, buoyed by a slew of recent victories, have unveiled a new platform they insist “isn’t extreme” despite calling for fully disbanding the U.S. Senate and the presidency, replacing the Supreme Court, and defunding the U.S. military.The DSA’s “program” was drafted by elected representatives between April and June of 2026, and is titled “Workers Deserve More.” The project, once completed, was voted on and approved by the DSA’s National Political Committee (NPC).
Oh there are going to be mass graves, gentle reader. The question is whose corpses will be in them, theirs or ours?
Have a good day,
- ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY
- The suspect is currently in custody, and an investigation is ongoing. The investigation is being conducted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a video of some Australians using goats to clear out an overgrown lawn. Here's another one. I assumed the last time that bringing in goats to eat grass in an overgrown lawn was just a stunt for the internet. But in this video, the goats' owner confirms that this is actually his full-time job and that it's pretty common to call up your local goat-herder to clear out a lawn disaster. He says he does this every working day.

Kamala Harris is running for president. She claims she "should have won" in 2024:
"She walks in as the front-runner. It is fairly obvious she is followed wherever she goes," said one former aide. "And I don't want to upset any narratives that any of the other candidates are pushing, but she comes in with 99 percent name ID and everyone else is going to have to raise money and buy it."It remains an article of faith among Harris's tight-knit group of advisers that the 2024 race wasn't winnable. Her polling lead was a mirage and did not square with what the campaign's internal polls were showing. The compressed timeline after Biden dropped out of the race left her without enough time to appear as her own person, a particularly big problem when much of the public had tired of the president. And multiple former campaign staffers brought up the two assassination attempts against Trump as evidence that Harris's loss was all but preordained.
...
"She is looking for where the wave is going and is determined to ride it," said one supporter who had recently spoken with her and came away convinced that Harris is running in 2028. "Her mindset is that I should have won, and I am going to do it my way because my way would have won, and it was all these consultants that were telling me to take this position or that position, and it was their fault."
I encourage this. Jazz-snaps.

Don Lemon wants some attention.
Former CNN host-turned-podcaster Don Lemon outrageously argued President Trump's MAGA movement is "America's version" of the Nazi Party -- just "without the Holocaust and all that stuff."...
"MAGA is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi Party. This is America's version," Lemon raved. "It's the closest thing, without the Holocaust and all that stuff."
Lemon -- who also revealed he is considering a presidential run in the 2028 election, saying he'd be a "really good" commander-in-chief -- argued MAGA supporters have stuck by the movement in an effort to promote white supremacy.
"Most intelligent people or logical people, when they get new information and that information is negative or not factual, then they change their minds and go, 'Oh, well I wish I'd known better, and now that I have this information, then I can readjust,'" Lemon said.
"No matter how many facts and how much information you give them about this presidency, about the policies, they don't change their minds," he continued. "Because they're really not voting for the price of eggs -- they're voting for white supremacy, they're voting for power, they're voting to have a preeminent voice."
...
As host Dhanraj started to ask another question, noting that it was Lemon's view that the administration has gone "off the rails," Lemon interjected, saying: "It's not off the rails. We've careened into facism. The president is a fascist."
He then jammed his hand down his pants, rubbed it on his testicles, and wiped his fingers in the host's face.
I added the last sentence. But it's true in spirit.
NYC has spent $2.6 billion in welfare and just 860,000 residents... in one year.
More than $2.6 billion was handed out to 864,999 New York City residents in 2025, the news coming as people are fleeing the state due to high taxes and a socialist mayor who has made it his mission to "tax the rich."Data from city records Fox News reviewed showed the billion dollar number was a 71 percent increase since 2022 when it was $1.57 billion, the outlet reported Saturday.
"When coupled with payments from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the city paid out more than $7 billion in welfare to residents in 2024, according to a Fox News analysis of data from the city's Human Resources Administration (HRA)," the outlet said, adding, "The rise in welfare payments comes as some of New York City's wealthiest contemplate a Big Apple exodus due to what many have described as a policy environment unfriendly to businesses and moneymakers."
Indeed, Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) in April said there would be an annual tax on high-value properties owned by those who did not live in the area full-time, Breitbart News reported.
"When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich. Well, today, we're taxing the rich. I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a pied-à-terre tax, the first in New York's history. This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million whose owners do not live full time in the city, like for this penthouse, which hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin bought for $238 million," he stated.
To offset the political damage from the murder of a Restore party official by a deranged communist, the leftwing, Muslim Home Secretary of the UK began talking up a vague "plot" by "white supremacists" to do... something in relation to a Muslim gathering.
It was all made-up. Just a straight lie.
What is really angering patriotic Brits is that the UK government will fine them or even jail them for spreading "speculation" about violence or terrorism, but leftwing politicians -- Muslim ones, especially -- are free to invent fake "white supremacist" attacks on Muslims as they wish.
Because they're the conquerors. There are different rules for the conquerors.

Heres a prime example of politicians speculating whilst the British public is told not to speculate.

US Pounds Iran Military Sites for Ninth Straight Night; Trump Announces Next Big Target?
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The United States broadened the scale and scope of its strikes against Iran on Monday, hitting a variety of targets including military bases, air defense systems and a city hosting a nuclear power plant.
The ninth consecutive night of U.S. strikes came on the back of the totalitarian Islamic regime delivering attacks in the region with strikes in Syria, Jordan and Kuwait overnight.
AFP reports in Bushehr, home to the country's only operational civilian nuclear power plant, governor Mohammad Mozaffari told state news agency IRNA: "A few minutes ago, several locations in Bushehr city were hit by American enemy's projectiles."
In East Azerbaijan province in the north, the head of the local crisis management unit Majid Farshi told IRNA that "one person was martyred and several others injured" in an attack there.
...
As Breitbart News reported, President Donald Trump said Sunday the U.S. had earlier struck Iran "very hard" in honor of three American servicemembers killed in recent days.
As mentioned, three servicemen were killed when Iran attacked US bases in Jordan.
Two U.S. service members were killed and one remains missing after Iran struck American forces in Jordan, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Saturday.The command said the two troops were killed in action Friday while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks, and confirmed four other service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals and have since been discharged.
Trump ordered the military to "open the gates of hell" to avenge their deaths.

Pimps and Professors at "HustlerU.," Andrew and Tristan Tate, Arrested by US Marshals After Extradition Request by UK for Rape Charges
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I didn't jump to condemn these guys three years ago when the entire leftwing social media ecosystem acted with lightning speed to cancel them. We've all seen a lot of good people canceled by the left.
On the other hand, I didn't defend them, because: I don't know anything about them and considering that their business seems to be, openly, pimping and prostitution, I didn't really think they deserved much of my time or mental exertion, nor much of yours.
I still don't know much about them, apart from them bragging they con women (and girls) into the exciting life of online prostitution by using the "loverboy" tactic of making them emotionally dependent on their pimps, then pimping them out. Which is a standard pimp tactic. These guys didn't invent it. It was created at a laboratory at "Hustler U."
And now Trump is honoring a UK request for extradition on rape/child exploitation charges.
Trump isn't always right, of course.
But these guys sound like any other douchebag criminal: Everyone is just conspiring against me (and my pimp business and pimp school).

Former DSA Member: We Started This Moderate, Wholesome Socialist Group But It Got Taken Over by Extremist Communists, Somehow
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Former Democratic Socialists of America member Jake Altman offered an inside look Saturday at the organization he says has been overtaken by communists -- warning the same playbook is now being used to push the Democratic Party further to the left."Their organization has been captured..." Altman told Fox News.
"One of my real concerns is that we see a lot of resistance to anti-communism within the DSA, even from the moderate wing of the DSA, and I think this is very, very dangerous."
Speaking on "Saturday in America," Altman warned the organization is anything but "harmless," claiming its members are "perfectly willing to cohabitate with Maoists, with Trotskyists, with Leninists" -- groups he said are intent on dismantling American institutions.
"People who want to pull down American institutions and are very clear about it. People who have this thrill to violence. That is just profoundly troubling at a time when our country is already facing many, many problems," he said.
Altman also said some aspects of the group raised his eyebrows nearly 10 years ago when, while participating in a debate on the organization's behalf, he questioned whether he was the best person to represent its trajectory.
At the time, he claimed, he was reassured that the organization's increasingly radical direction was being driven by only a small faction clustered around "Jacobin" magazine.
"I was debating with Leninists who were saying Bernie Sanders isn't a socialist, and now we're hearing that from DSA, right? Bernie Sanders, AOC, they're not real socialists," he recalled.
"So I think this is just the level of extremism and radicalism we're seeing. People in DSA will try to minimize it and say it's just a few people... they're a small minority. But... look at the executive board. It's full of this alphabet soup of extremist caucuses."
Altman urged Democrats to stand up against a "radicalized base," as far-left DSA candidates secure wins nationwide.
"These people are not operating in good faith," he said. "DSA members are not in the Democratic Party to operate in good faith."
Even Arch-Race-Lefty Van Jones is alarmed about his totally-not-communist Democrat Party being taken over by communists.
Again, how can these non-communist moderate leftist organizations keep becoming communist revolutionary groups?! Make it make sense!
Longtime CNN political commentator and Democrat Van Jones rebuked far-left activists Saturday, warning that their positions on Hamas, prisons and immigration are regressive and threatened to steer the Democratic Party in the wrong direction as socialist-backed candidates celebrated recent primary victories.
That is the Democrat Party's direction, which you approve of.
You just don't like the communists shouting it when they're supposed to just whisper it and imply it, as you do.
...
"But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. 'No police, no prisons, no borders' is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE," Jones said.
...The ex-administration advisor to former President Barack Obama also rejected the argument that the far-left was merely advocating the type of social democracy practiced in Nordic countries.
"Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them," Jones said. "I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas."
Communist nepo baby and Islamist Party-Boy Zohran Mamdani claims he's just fighting for the working class but has no definition of "working class."
When pressed, he claims the "working class" is anyone being paid a salary, and includes his rich donors making up to one million dollars per year.
Mayor Mamdani struggles to define who the 'working class' is in a word salad interview
New York City's socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, struggled to define who the "working class" is in a word salad response to a question about the people he vows to fight for.Mamdani, in a lengthy interview with the New York Times published over the weekend, was asked point-blank by journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro, "How do you define the working class?"
"I think if you have to work to pay your bills, I think that that is one definition of being a part of the working class," he vaguely responded.
When pushed whether he would consider those who make $250,000 per year as working class, he said, "I haven't asked myself where it starts and stops."What I would say is those who are working to try and afford the basic dignities of life and aren't able to do so, I think that that is also working class. Oftentimes we're asked how we divide this country. I think there's only one majority in this country -- it's the working class," he then rambled.
Confused by the convoluted reponse, Garcia-Navarro admitted that Hizzoner's description didn't seem to "ring true," to her.
"It just seems a very easy answer to what is a complicated question," the reporter fought back. "Because politically, if you're saying everyone is the working class, or anyone that gets a salary is the working class, yes, that opens up your tent. But practically speaking, we are divided by income -- and especially if you want to tax people, where you draw those lines matter."
Mamdani then said he would draw the line at around $1 million per year -- which Garcia-Navarro pointed out could alienate potential voters such as a janitor who he's lumped in the same "working class" category as a successful lawyer.
I can't believe we're still fighting the leftists on whether or not communism works.
