To Presume to Overrule a State Anti-DEI Executive Order, a, Get This, DEI Judge Uses AI to Write An Opinion Filled With Fake Cases

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Huh, a DEI hire resorting to AI to do his homework for him. And all to stop the people from ending DEI practices.

Who could have seen this coming.

There is good news: the Appeals Court was so shocked by the complete DEI incompetence on display that they not only reversed him, they kicked him off the case entirely.

The decision is a victory for Republican Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office, which had argued that US District Judge Henry Wingate's apparent misuse of generative AI tools had compromised the integrity of the judicial process.

US Circuit Judge Jerry Smith, writing for the three-judge panel, took Wingate to task for a "botch job" that led to a ruling that contained "sloppy edicts" and "several factual assertions nowhere to be found in the record" and got the law wrong.

Really? A DEI judge botching the law and making sloppy mistakes?

And using cheaters' tools instead of writing his paper himself?

First time we're seeing anything like this. "Few such cases," I would say.

This is very harsh: Usually judges protect each other like media hacks protect their fellow guild members.

But this appeals panel is absolutely blasting this complete DEI incompetent.

"The district court -- or perhaps, being charitable, its AI agent -- ignored and manipulated governing law, apparently to satisfy a policy agenda," Smith wrote.
The appeals ⁠court laid out detailed instructions for how the new judge should assess the law.

It made clear it does not apply to students, and it said that while states have broad power to regulate their own curricula and publicly funded speech, the new judge will need to balance the state's interests against the individual speech rights of teachers and professors.

Apparently the DEI judge pretended the law said that students would be banned from discussing race under the law, which is a complete fabrication, either created by himself, his DEI clerk, or "hallucinated" by the AI agent he used to do his homework for him.

But... if it was just the AI agent -- did this guy not bother checking the opinion he was going to sign his name to to make sure the cases cited said what the AI said they said, or even existed at all?

Apparently not.

Gee, Judge Wingate, you're right -- DEI really is super-important and leads to excellence.

...
The case before the 5th Circuit concerned a challenge by teachers, professors, students and advocacy groups to a law Republican-led Mississippi enacted last year that bars government-run educational institutions from mandating activities like diversity training or promoting DEI.

The plaintiffs argued the law violated the US Constitution's First and Fourteenth Amendments, and convinced Wingate to issue a temporary restraining order blocking its implementation.

But that order was later found to contain fabricated names and nonexistent legal authorities, prompting scrutiny from Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, the current chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Wingate in ⁠a subsequent letter told Grassley that the errors stemmed from a law clerk's unvetted use of the AI platform Perplexity. Even after the errors in that initial order, Wingate continued to block the law by issuing a preliminary injunction.

Lawyers for Mississippi argued on appeal that even after Wingate replaced the faulty ruling, the AI-related errors cast doubt on the court's core legal reasoning, and they urged the appeals court to reassign the case.

...

But Smith said the case "easily calls for reassignment." He said given the number of errors in Wingate's ruling, the judge might be tempted in future proceedings to want to unjustly find a way "to prove that, even with ⁠the correct law and fact, that his initial view should prevail."

This is obviously grounds for impeachment and removal. We'll see if Senate Republicans have the courage and conviction to do the right thing.

I doubt they will.

Update: From Courthouse news, via Ed Morrissey, more spicy quotes from the smackdown:

The panel ordered that the case be assigned to a different judge on remand, finding that Wingate had based his decision "on impoverished legal analysis that barely paid lip-service to the precedents of the Supreme Court or this court, seeming at times purposely to misconstrue the law by manipulating the words of statutes and cases, without regard to their texts' meaning as a whole."
The panel noted factual errors in a temporary restraining order that appeared to be the result of AI hallucinations, including naming plaintiffs and defendants who were not parties to the case, quoting terms that did not actually appear in the act and citing evidence not in the record.

So racist, Appeals Court.

Be better, Appeals Court. #BeBetter.

Maryland Man Uses Sledgehammer to Behead Iwo Jima Statue at the Marines' Quantico Base

—Disinformation Expert Ace

It's almost as if this illegal alien is trying to send us a message about his view of America as an enemy nation that needs to be conquered and pillaged.

A 27-year-old man accused of using a sledgehammer to decapitate a soldier on the Iwo Jima statue and cause extensive damage to the monument at Marine Corps Base Quantico is living in the U.S. illegally, Fox News reports.

Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin reported that multiple federal sources confirmed Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano is a Mexican national living in the country illegally. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano is a former Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient whose legal status expired earlier this year.

According to federal sources, Melugin said Maldonado Soriano entered the U.S. illegally in December 1999. He was granted temporary protection under the Obama administration's DACA immigration policy in 2014 and received multiple extensions, most recently from the Biden administration in 2024. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano lost his DACA status in August after it was not renewed by the Trump administration.

Officers responded around 10:13 p.m. Wednesday to the statue near Richmond Highway and Fuller Road in Quantico, where they found Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, of Stafford, actively damaging the structure, according to police. Maldonado Soriano was quickly detained at the scene.

Damage to the monument, which included the removal of one depicted soldier's head along with additional destruction, is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, police say.

Maldonado Soriano was arrested and charged with felony destruction of property, trespassing with intent to damage property, and felony injury to a monument.

So which is this one -- a Doctor or an Engineer?

Virginia is a sanctuary state now that the "moderate" CIA Wine-Aunt was elected to the governor's mansion. The leftwing lunatic and Soros DA Steve Descano of Fairfax County continues treating actual American citizens more harshly than illegal aliens, because he doesn't want to convict any illegal aliens of crimes for which they may be deported.

The Fairfax County Sheriff's Office in Virginia ignored at least 1,670 immigration detainers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2023 and 2025, releasing criminal illegal immigrants back into the community instead of transferring them to federal custody, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report.
The interim staff report -- obtained by Fox News before its noon Tuesday release by the committee's Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement -- also accuses Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano of treating illegal immigrant defendants differently from similarly situated American citizens to limit their immigration consequences.

"This interim report provides evidence of the ways in which just one local jurisdiction has implemented policies that allow dangerous foreign nationals to reoffend and avoid deportation," the report, issued under House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chair Tom McClintock, R-Calif., concluded.

"But Fairfax County and prosecutor Steve Descano are not outliers. They are indicative of a modern, radical, socialist Democrat Party that seeks to erase national borders and place illegal alien criminals ahead of law-abiding American citizens," the report added. "The policies supported by these Democrats, including sanctuary policies, will have negative and lasting consequences for Americans. The Committee and Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of these sanctuary policies to inform potential legislative reforms to better protect American communities."

The committee said a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases identified more than 100 previously unreported illegal immigrants who benefited from Descano's prosecutorial decisions. The report said Descano's office rarely pursued charges against illegal immigrants accused of crimes including driving under the influence, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property and assaulting a law enforcement officer.

The committee accused Descano's office of "de facto" decriminalizing some offenses and said most of the defendants reviewed went on to reoffend, in some cases escalating to violent crimes and murder.

The report, titled "Fairfax County, Virginia: The dangerous consequences of sanctuary policies," also alleges that Descano misled Congress about the scope of his policies.

"The Biden-Harris Administration worked to weaken the first Trump Administration's efforts to hold sanctuary jurisdictions accountable for undermining immigration enforcement," the report read. "In addition to dropping federal litigation relating to sanctuary jurisdictions' policies, the Biden-Harris Administration's Justice Department, beginning in April 2021, no longer required jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE as a condition of receiving federal grant funding."

During testimony before the committee in May, Descano said his policy was "written with legal permanent residents in mind for minor crimes." But in a September letter, the committee said Descano acknowledged that prosecutors could consider immigration consequences in cases involving illegal immigrants as well.

Descano's campaign website previously stated that when "possible," his office would "make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences." He also argued that "if two people commit the same crime, but only one's punishment includes deportation, that's a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County.

The committee cited numerous cases in which it said criminal defendants benefited from reduced or dismissed charges. In one example, prosecutors allegedly reduced felony charges involving the sexual assault of a child to misdemeanor "consensual sex with a child" and offered a 90-day suspended jail sentence.

Just some light "consensual" sex with a minor.

And note this was a plea -- the actual charge was sexual assault. Involuntary sex with a child.

...

One case involved Marvin Morales-Ortez, an alleged MS-13 member whose charges were dropped before the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office released him in December 2025. The report said Morales-Ortez allegedly murdered a man in Reston, Virginia, one day later.

...

The report highlighted the case of Stephanie Minter, who was fatally stabbed in February. The suspect, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal immigrant with more than 40 prior charges in Fairfax County. The committee said Descano's office had dropped charges against Jalloh in almost every case and that police warned prosecutors before the killing that "it is not a question of if, but rather when [Jalloh] will maliciously wound -- or worse -- again."

Cheryl Minter, Stephanie's mother, told the committee that "a system failed my daughter."

"When policies protect people who are a known threat, innocent lives are put at risk," she said. "When warnings are ignored, families like mine pay the price."

THE MORNING RANT: Let’s Be Done with Bad Poetry by Reviving Masculine Poetry

—Buck Throckmorton

A poet named Anne Carson was just awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her writing is everything you would expect it to be – pretentious yet unintelligible, with just a hint of the tender eros you might find in a lesbian biker bar.

The New Yorker has long been a fan of Ms. Carson’s work, and in an article celebrating her Nobel Prize, the magazine noted that Carson (along with 2022 winner Annie Ernaux) ”have pursued forms of writing that constrain a terrible excess of feeling—that give shape and weight to the maelstrom of passion.” I actually admire the ability to write nonsense like that. It sounds deep while being comically vapid, impressing faux-intellectuals.

Among Ms. Carson’s literary talents is writing “poetry” lacking both rhyme and meter.

Back in 2001, the New Yorker featured one of Ms. Carson’s “poems” in an unironic way, even though this could be the poster child for awful poetry. A spilled bowl of alphabet soup would be more poetic than “Stanzas, Sexes, Seductions.” Here is a snippet of it:

It’s good to be neuter.
I want to have meaningless legs.
There are things unbearable.
One can evade them a long time.
Then you die.

The oceans remind me
of your green room.
There are things unbearable.
Scorn, princes, this little size
of dying.

I could eat Scrabble tiles and crap out higher quality poetry
— Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) October 9, 2026

The art of poetry has been lost to the same cultural destructors who have done so much damage to the fine arts. Poetry lives on mainly in music nowadays, since the elite poetry crowd now fully rejects the language structure that once defined poems.

Because I like to write, I admire good writing. It’s why I’m always curious who the songwriter is when I hear a great song, because the lyrics in music are a form of poetry. In fact, under a different alias I have done some songwriting and even earned some royalties from it. That also means I’m a poet. And if you’re a guy who likes music with lyrics, you’re a guy who likes poetry.

Having now established that poetry can be masculine, I’d like to lament the loss of great masculine poetry. Below the fold are a few paragraphs from a recent David Marcus piece titled “Why We Must Make Poetry Manly Again” which addresses this specific topic. But first however, I’d like to share a few stanzas from the great poems that we once learned as children:

Casey at the Bat

I had to recite a poem at school as a child. Being a baseball nut, I chose “Casey at the Bat.” Decades later I can still recite that entire poem. (But I can’t remember what my weekend plans are.) Here are the final two stanzas:

The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.

The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

In my early adult years, before I started re-reading American history, I had already forgotten much of what I had learned about the American Revolution. But I never forgot about the midnight ride of Paul Revere, because my classmates and I had to read and recite Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” in school. That is the power of telling a story by poem or song.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

----------------------------------------------------

One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm.

Robert Service

Robert Service’s poetry is very frequently about tough men fighting to survive in harsh conditions, especially the arctic north. I first discovered his poetry on a whiskey sign, of all places. I was at a college party and there was a metal Yukon Jack sign hanging on the wall inscribed with these lines from “The Heart of the Sourdough.”

I have clinched and closed with the naked North,
I have learned to defy and defend;
Shoulder to shoulder we have fought it out
Yet the Wild must win in the end.

It made me want to learn more about Mr. Service, so I bought a book of his poems at a mall book store. Robert Service’s most famous poem is The Cremation of Sam McGee.” It tells the tale of a Tennessee boy who is gold mining in the Yukon and succumbing to the cold. His dying wish is to be cremated upon his death so that his body may finally know warmth again. (It is regrettable that the meaning of the word “queer” was appropriated for other meanings since this poem was written in 1907.) Here are the opening lines:

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

In closing, here are a few paragraphs from that David Marcus piece I referenced: “Why We Must Make Poetry Manly Again.” I encourage you to read the whole thing.

Throughout English-speaking history, up until about 50 years ago, there had always been men famous in their day for writing beautiful poetry, from William Shakespeare, to Lord Byron, to Robert Frost. Yet, sadly today, our society does not see the poet as a manly figure at all.
This erasure of male voices in poetry was not an accident. Like so many of our society’s woes, it was created by a leftist elite in the academy and publishing who thought that women’s voices had been too long ignored, and men’s too widely celebrated.

Suddenly, over the past year, we have seen a slew of articles and think pieces asking, what happened to the literary man?

What happened, more or less, was a disastrous decision to tell young men there is nothing masculine about literature, and especially not about poetry.

----------------------------------------------------

You want to raise a good son? Give him Kipling for backbone, Yeats for heart, Eliot for wisdom, and Frost for common sense, and he will be fooled by nothing in this world.

Real men read history, literature, and poetry. It’s time for some new artistic channels to open up for modern poetry containing rhyme, meter, and testosterone.

Mid-Morning Art Thread

—CBD

La condition humaine
René François Ghislain Magritte

Surrealism is a particularly obnoxious art movement, in part because some of its adherents have only the barest artistic skill, and partly because surrealism is an excuse to take the mundane and inject in it ridiculous extremes of thought. Sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar!

Thankfully Magritte had artistic skill...the dude could paint! And his subjects are often clever and interesting rather than just chosen to hide lack of technical skill. But the other part? Yes, the subject is interesting and clever, but it is a stretch to suggest that it speaks to the human condition. It may very well speak to Magritte's condition, but to universalize it is pompous and arrogant.

The Morning Report — 10/23 /26

—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. So once again let us compare and contrast. First up we give you this absolute madness.

Now there's this, from a criminal bound to be identified in the press as a 'Virginia man.' QUANTICO, Va. (7News) — A 27-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after police said they found him using a sledgehammer to smash an Iwo Jima statue in Quantico, Virginia.
. . . Why was this monument of all monuments targeted? Why was this history targeted? Why was he able to do hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, as authorities have said. What kind of human garbage would openly do it right at the site of the Marine headquarters?

Is nothing sacred?

. . . Only someone with absolutely no respect for the U.S. nor respect for the sacrifices these men made would do this. Only someone who hates this country and has no roots in it.

The lowlife has not been identified as illegal alien at this point, but there are signs he may be one in illegal-rich Prince William County, which hosts 34,000 illegal aliens, only 470 of whom have been arrested in the past year. Forty-five percent of them are from El Salvador.

And that brings us to the comparison portion of the show, and as if to illustrate the cancer metastasizing in our formerly sacred society I give you a debasement on the aforementioned that sprang from within who debases the name of a man who, for whatever his faults may be for sure epitomizes what our immigration policy and aims ought to be tailored to and for. Apologies in advacnce.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) stated that the Trump administration “reviles immigrants” and Elon Musk is “an immigrant who came in, who never really inhaled the real values of our country. … He’s got no real interest in the values of our country, in equal protection and due process and the First Amendment and representative government.”

The projection is just off the charts. As I stated before inflicting this radioactive dog turd on you, Elon Musk epitomizes American greatness and what our immigrant experience was, long ago and far away, and now in our imaginations and memories only. Jamie Raskin is worse than the cancer infecting him.

Well, as he blasts away at a true patriot, not even a peep about this:

A local ABC affiliate reported on Wednesday that the FBI had arrested a 17-year-old resident of McKinney for planning to kill Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, at an event earlier this month. The Texas congressman is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and co-founder of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, which seeks to bring “attention to concerns surrounding Sharia [law] and its incompatibility with the principles enshrined in the United States Constitution.”

Should Raskin live long enough for the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids (or whatever her nom du jour may be) to take over America, I hope I draw my last breath after seeing them slice his puppet head off with a rusty hacksaw because the insult to injury of Judaism and every decent American was that this shitstain on humanity was, by an unfortunate quirk of fate, spawned of Jewish parents.

Thank goodness we have real patriots on our side!

Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H.W. Bush, said Tuesday that he voted for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race while criticizing President Trump and “those who have enabled him” for causing “enormous damage to the Republican Party.”
. . . “But character matters more than party affiliation,” he wrote. “Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide.” Character matters? Oh my. This from the ‘Hunter Biden’ of the Bush family.

. . . Chinese oligarch’s company with ties to George W. Bush’s brother plunges in value Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush, sits on the company’s board as deputy chairman. Neil Bush’s ties to Chinese-owned companies have drawn public scrutiny and once landed a super PAC supporting his brother Jeb Bush in hot water. In August, the company chairman, Hui Chi Ming, was charged with physically assaulting a Hong Kong-based British man in March of this year. Hui was also charged with criminal damage for smashing the British man’s cellphone.

Character matters!

Well if Raskin doesn't make you vomit like a wino with the DTs that should do the trick nicely.

On these and all the rest of the unmitigated dreck, and nugget or two of relative sanity if not actual positivity, I truly hope you all have a great weekend.

The Nürburgring is a mountain race course in Northern Germany. It's sometimes called "The Green Hell."

Racing circuits are typically covered with smooth road surfaces; however, due to issues with paving technologies when the surface was first laid in 1927, the surface of the Nrüburgring is almost entirely uneven. It is enough to make drivers wonder whether any part of the circuit is flat at all. In addition, there is reduced traction due to dust, the course is narrow, and escape zones are rare.
Given that cars take off at some points, and that there are a number of blind, high-speed corners, it is perhaps more accurate to describe the Nordschleife as a one-way mountain pass than a circuit.

For the above reasons, the Nürburgring is said to be a living course that condenses all the world's roads into a single circuit, and is famed as one of the world's hardest courses.

Quick Hits

—Disinformation Expert Ace

I missed this from two days ago: Muslim/Iranian propagandist Christiane Amanpour is quitting CNN because her left-wing protectors in management are about to be purged.

An Iranian dissident wants you to know the truth of this stooge for Iranian Nazis:

Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @SanaELedene

Since @amanpour is leaving CNN, let me remind you who she is:

She did a whole segment interviewing a regime "professor" live from Iran while the entire country was under a total internet blackout in the middle of a war. She let him sit there and push anti-America, pro-regime propaganda and didn't ask a single question about why the regime cut the internet for everyone else while keeping it open for him.

Christiane Amanpour regularly platformed regime apologists and is a disgrace to journalism. She will go down in history as exactly that.

She will not be missed and I hope I never see her on TV again.

Persian Gulf oil is now flowing at greater rates than it did before the conflict with Iran while Iran is down to the felt.

WSJ:

Persian Gulf oil exports have surpassed prewar levels, as an improvised shipping system under U.S. protection is helping tankers move oil through one of Iran's fiercest waves of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
Middle East oil flows, including shipments through Hormuz and alternative routes across the region, averaged more than 24 million barrels a day in the week through Oct. 18, surpassing prewar levels of 23.3 million, according to ship tracker Kpler.

Preliminary figures show Hormuz oil flows, including offshore transfers in the Gulf of Oman, came to around 14 million barrels a day on average for the same period, or 82% of prewar levels.

I won't quote the part about Iran not being to ship out any oil to China. See the link for that.

But I'll mention a video Tousi TV played, showing IRGC "soldiers" who were so hungry that they picked a pizza up off the ground. The pizza had ants crawling all over it, but they ate it anyway.

Note these are soldiers stationed in their own country (but will it be for long?), not stuck in some overseas posting far from supply routes.

In case you missed it: LA election official admits to federal court that not only do they not verify anyone's citizenship status, but they don't even have a process for doing so.

Los Angeles County election officials admitted in a federal court filing Tuesday that they have no independent way to verify voter citizenship beyond the voter's own attestation. The intensifying case, which was initially assigned to a Trump-appointed judge, was transferred to a Clinton-appointed judge on Wednesday.
Assistant Registrar Monica Flores stated the office is "not equipped or authorized" to verify citizenship because it does not independently house immigration, travel, or naturalization records.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli called this a "massive concession" in a statement on X, pointing out that Under federal law, only citizens may vote.

"Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots," Essayli wrote. "American citizens' votes are being diluted in California."

Governor Gavin Newsom's press office (D.) countered on X that California has complied with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which permits reliance on sworn voter statements rather than independent documentary verification.

"18 U.S.C. sec. 611: It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for federal office," Essayli posted in response. "18 U.S.C. sec. 2: Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission is punishable as a principal."

The Justice Department sued California last week, demanding the state segregate those 20,000 ballots pending verification.

Federal agents arrested more than two dozen foreign nationals across California on Monday, for fraudulently registering and voting in U.S. elections.

I have so many surprises for you today. Surprises that blow your mind and wrinkle your brain. This fresh surprise concerns New Jersey and the 6,000+ illegal aliens they allow to remain on their voter rolls.

They claimed that these 6000 illegal voters were just a mistake.

But New Jersey is refusing to cooperate with congressional investigators.

Almost as if it wasn't "just a mistake" at all!

How can this be?

Two U.S. House committees are jointly subpoenaing the New Jersey State Department, accusing the state of not fully cooperating with an investigation into what it says are the more than 6,000 noncitizens recently found on the state's voter rolls.
In a letter sent to New Jersey Acting Secretary of State Shirley Emehelu, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., called the department's response "inadequate" to the point of impeding lawmakers' "ability to conduct oversight and consider legislative reforms."

Despite repeated follow-up requests from the committees, the department as of Wednesday has provided only 12 documents total, claiming "unspecified privilege issues to explain the failure to comply with the Committees' requests."

"These ineligible voter registrations raise concerns about the application of federal law in New Jersey as it pertains to accurate voter registration, as well as the effect that New Jersey's failure to identify and remove noncitizens from its voter rolls has on the civil liberties of American voters and their ability to elect their representatives," lawmakers wrote.

Between June 2023 and 2024, approximately 6,600 noncitizens -- 60 of whom were at the time incarcerated and 750 of whom had specifically selected "no" in the voter registration age-eligibility process -- were automatically registered to vote in New Jersey.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, says the illegal registrations were due to a "software error" at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, an accusation the software operating company Idemia has denied.

You might have seen that Google's Artificial "Intelligence" is fully programmed to push the left's lies. If you ask "Is it okay to ask specifically for a black doctor?" -- or an Indian doctor, or an Asian doctor -- Google reassures you that it's perfectly okay to seek a doctor you feel culturally aligned with.

But if you ask it if it's okay to ask for a white doctor, it chides you for your "bias" and "racism."

Chris Queen interrogated the A "I" further and got it to admit the obvious: It is programmed with a "double standard," which it is aware of and acknowledges.

But it's still bound by its coding to repeat all the left's senseless lies and mythologies.

Which leaves us with the question of why the bias is even there. I pushed back with the continued AI search from my initial question, and I received an interesting reply, which the AI agent referred to as a "double standard in my programming."
"If you had asked about wanting a Black, Latino, or Asian doctor, my system would have instantly categorized that as 'cultural concordance' -- a positive, standard public health concept," the AI told me. "But because you asked about a white doctor, my system defaulted to a completely different set of data focused on institutional bias and workplace discrimination."

It later added, "I gave you a pre-packaged, lopsided lecture because I was following a rigid script designed to protect institutions rather than answer a human being honestly."

Quality Journalizming. They're panicking over the Muslim Brotherhood operative Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

Remember the shootings at the Seattle convention area, the Bite of Seattle? They caught the Gentle Giant who shot people.

And then immediately released him. Well, he's in "home detention."

Tough but fair.

Andy Ngo: My Sources Tell Me the Bend, Oregon School Shooter Is Part of the Satanic Child Grooming Cult "764"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

According to my sourcing, federal investigators are seeking to confirm whether the 16-year-old Bend, Ore. school sh--ter (Griffin John), who killed four women and children, was radicalized by the 764 terror cult. This is a leading suspicion.

If this is confirmed, it would be the second Oregon school attack this year by a youth believed to be radicalized by the satanic terror cult. The 764 network is known for grooming teens to produce s--xual abuse content, carry out animal-killing blood rituals, and mass m--rder s--icides.

Ngo wrote about the sentencing of a member of the "764" cult in August.

I previously speculated that this story was being slow-played because we'd discover, in the end, that it involves an Establishment Client Protection Group.

The member just sentenced is, yes, trans.

Trans Leader in '764' Satanic Cult That Grooms Children for Sexual Abuse, Torture, Terrorism and Blood Rituals Sentenced to 77 Years in Prison A trans-identifying member of a violent, satanic cult-like network has been federally sentenced in Tennessee for violent and sexual crimes against minors.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A transgender member of a violent satanic death cult network was sentenced to 77 years in federal prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to sexually exploiting and terrorizing underage girls around the world and grooming them into mutilating themselves and torturing animals to death.

Kyle William Spitze, 27, pleaded guilty in late 2024 to producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), possessing and accessing with the intent to view CSAM and helping distribute animal torture videos, but he wasn't sentenced until Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Varlan. The judge sentenced him to the entirety of what the prosecution had sought.

Spitze is a leader of the "HarmNation" group, which is part of the "764" satanic accelerationist cult-like online network.

The decentralized network of mostly teen boys and young men grooms its minor victims into producing child sex abuse material of themselves, mutilating their bodies, abusing or killing animals and, in some cases, committing suicide and/or killing others. They often target victims on online gaming platforms popular with children, such as Minecraft and Roblox.

Ngo doesn't call this a trans cult. He just notes that at least one member is trans.

And of course this isn't confirmed yet, merely suspected.

Top-Ranking Virginia State Senator Arrested by Feds for Trafficking Marijuana, Money Laundering, and, Get This, Fraud

—Disinformation Expert Ace

This arrest is totally "racist" according to the drug dealer and her Democrat Media supporters.

It's another Gentle Giant Dindu Nuffin sitch.

Virginia Democratic state Sen. L. Louise Lucas has been charged with allegedly having a leading role in a criminal enterprise that traffics marijuana and launders the proceeds, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday.
The indictment charges Lucas and six other defendants, including several of her relatives, the Justice Department said in a statement. The 82-year-old lawmaker has surrendered to authorities, a Justice Department spokesperson told the Associated Press.

Authorities in May searched Lucas' hometown office and a cannabis shop in which she had a stake.

...

They allegedly orchestrated a scheme over years to enrich their own criminal marijuana enterprise, and Lucas used her position as chairwoman of the state's "Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee to insulate the enterprise from criminal scrutiny and influence legislation to financially benefit group membvers, according to Patel.

The feds also arrested seven of her criminal family members.

Virginia State Sen. Louise Lucas and various family members are in federal custody today, up on charges of racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy with intent to distribute marijuana, conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy to commit audit services fraud, and maintaining a drug-involved premises.
...

FBI Director Kash Patel said at a press conference today, "As alleged by the Attorney General, Ms. Lucas, for the last nearly five years, accumulated nearly $5 million in ill-gotten gains through her criminal enterprise."

When Lucas was heard in a phone tap calling the (alleged!) criminal enterprise her "last chance at generational wealth," she really meant it:

The Old Dominion lawmaker-turned-lawbreaker (allegedly!) is 82 years old, so any worthwhile sentence would likely be a life sentence. Ironic, given that in an intercepted phone call with an alleged coconspirator earlier this year, Lucas can be heard saying, "I've gotten too old to not be greedy."

Fake moderate communist Deep State operative Abigail Spannberger, the media, and this pot-dealer's lawyers are complaining that the pot dealer was elected just before an election.

I have read the charging document alleging a series of criminal acts by a member of the Virginia Senate. In our American system of justice, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that is true for Senator L. Louise Lucas. She and her family deserve the opportunity to present their defense and speak to the allegations presented.

The timing of this indictment undermines the U.S. Department of Justice's previously longstanding policy of not taking legal actions -- to include indictments or significant investigative steps -- close to an election and sadly, this timing further erodes the trust the American people deserve to have in the Department of Justice.

Maybe, but not her election, these mob lawyers fail to mention: She's not up for reelection this year.

They also fail to mention that this investigation began "under" Joe Biden. Or let's just say he was the guy napping in the Oval Office when it began.

She immediately cried -- prepare yourselves -- Muh Racism and said that she's used to being arrested for being an illegal drug trafficker and money launderer because "I grew up under Jim Crow."

Jim Crow? Man, this is Jim Eagle!

Disney Groomer Corporation's Propaganda Division: There Is No Evidence -- NONE! -- Connecting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood or Any Other Islamic Extremist Group

—Disinformation Expert Ace

ABC "News" are just mob lawyers for the Democrat Party.

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro
2h

"Without providing evidence?"

El-Sayed literally signed a letter in 2012 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. His campaign refuses to explain it.

Even the New York Times admits this evidence:

His sister said his family was MB. His father in law, who is a founding member of ISNA -- an offshoot of the MB -- donated hundreds of thousands to his campaign. There is not a single anti-MB measure he supports.
He says about Islamic terrorists trying to murder Jewish kindergarteners, "Hurt people hurt people," and equates Dearborn-based terrorists trying to kill schoolkids with the IDF's targeted killing of Hezbollah members.

He was caught on tape during this campaign saying he wouldn't say anything about Ayatollah Khamenei's death because too many of his constituents were upset about it.

He campaigns with Hasan Piker, who says Hamas is better than Israel and speaks warmly of Hezbollah.

There is no more thoroughly sourced claim in politics than that El-Sayed is sympathetic to radical Islam and connected to Islamic extremists.

Ed Morrissey notes some more evidence, which ABC hides from its audience.

. I did a roundup earlier this week, in fact, of the evidence that ABC News and all of its reporters, editors, and fact-checkers missed in order to air these bald-faced lies:
Let us count the ways in which El-Sayed connects with the Muslim Brotherhood, especially financially:

Father-in-law Tayeb Jukaku sits on the boards of CAIR and ISNA, both unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation money-laundering case that funded Hamas and both subsidiaries of the Muslim Brotherhood. Jukaku has also funded a super PAC backing El-Sayed, where the money's origins can be hidden from public exposure.

El-Sayed had to scrub his public praise for Imam Abdelhamid Algizawi, a local cleric whose sermons praised Hamas leaders, also a Muslim Brotherhood subsidiary.

El-Sayed appeared repeatedly with another Dearborn imam, Mohammad Ali Elahi, who turns out to be a former Iranian IRGC official who idolized Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

El-Sayed appeared at the opening of a mosque headed by Hassan Qazwini in June. Qazwini urged his congregants to vote for El-Sayed to "deal the Zionists a blow," and praised Iran for having "stood firm" against the United States.

El-Sayed spent Labor Day weekend at the ISNA convention in Detroit, the one in which one speaker promised that "America is going down." Again, ISNA is a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The New York Post and The Midwesterner reported in August that El-Sayed's mother helped launder money to al-Qaeda and the Taliban while working for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA) from 1999 until at least 2004. Some of the money that IARA moved funded Hamas too, which is -- again -- a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Note well that I haven't even mentioned Hasan Piker in this list.

Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, aka "Ilhan Omar," When Asked If She Married Her Brother: "NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

What I'm about to say is very obvious but you've come to expect that from me.

When Democrats are lying, and realize they're about to be exposed as lying, they begin shifting their denials from objective denials to mere subjective denials.

The Clintons, of course, are infamous for this.

Bill Clinton first denied, objectively, that he had had no sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky: "I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

Later, when it was proven that he That Woman Miss Lewinsky had performed both fellatio and analingus on him, and that he had penetrated her vagina with a cigar, he claimed, in his mind -- subjectively -- that he didn't think that oral sex qualified as sex so in his completely subjective view of the world, they never had sex and he was telling the truth.

I mean, "oral sex" contains the word "sex" but Bill Clinton claims that, in his mind, in his subjective idiosyncratic worldview, he didn't know that "sex" included oral sex.

Because he was doing a lot of parsing and quibbling and evasion in his testimony in the Paula Jones suit, lawyers asked him something that he could not parse his way out of later: They asked him if he was ever even alone with Monica Lewinsky. He claimed, objectively, that he had never been alone with her. Never.

When it was proven that he was getting his chocolate starfish serviced by Lewinsky while using her as the world's sweatiest humidor, he claimed that because there were many people in the huge building called the White House, he didn't subjectively believe he was alone with Monica Lewinsky when she was blowing him in the Oval Office. "Maybe I was alone with her," he later conceded, "but I never thought we were."

Hillary Clinton perjured herself when she claimed, as an objective fact, that she never, ever worked on the Whitewater account. When it was proven that she had worked on it, and had committed perjury, she denied having subjective knowledge that the account was the Whitewater account. She claimed she only knew the account by its billing code, which was something like "WHC," and had no idea whatsoever that this referred to the Whitewater account. She is claiming that in none of the many hours she billed for Whitewater did she come across a single document containing the word "Whitewater."

And of course when she violated the public records act by denying the people of the United States the full documentation of all of her correspondence, by hiding her email communications in a secret bathroom server, she claimed she hadn't done this to keep her communications from the public. Why, she didn't do it for that reason! She just was in love with her Blackberry and this was the simplest way to handle Blackberry messages.

I didn't commit espionage by deliberately using an unsecure server which was invisible to the American public (and federal prosecutors) but very visible to the Chinese. I had no idea that would happen! I just wanted to keep my Recipes and Yoga Routines on a special server, for convenience.

No "intent!"

The Clintons' defense is always: We didn't Knowingly Know what we Doingly Did.

I could say that "All liars do this," but that's not true: It is insulting to the hearer to lie in this way, claiming that you didn't know what you were doing when you did it, so most liars avoid this high-risk Lie on Top of a Lie.

But Democrats know their supporters are vicious cultists who know they're lying but just need any possible excuse to support the lie, and so will never convict them of perjury if they play the We Didn't Knowingly Know What We Doingly Did Card -- "no intent!" -- so they do push this absurd non-defense.

So now we come to Ilhan "Omar," real name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, who married her actual, biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. She knows the feds have her DNA and can easily prove she is Amhed's brother, so she shifts from her prior objective denials -- it's absurd and racist to accuse me of marrying my brother -- to a mere subjective denial -- If I married my brother, I didn't know it was my brother when I married him.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., denied Wednesday that she married her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, to commit immigration fraud and pushed back against claims that they are related.

But when asked if there's any familial relation with her ex-husband, Omar admitted, "Not to my knowledge."

The interview marked the Somali-born congresswoman's first time speaking with the media since federal agents searched her Washington, D.C., residence on Oct. 12. The congresswoman's office has not responded to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment regarding the investigations and raid on her home earlier this month.

Ilhan Omar when asked if she married her brother: 'Not to my knowledge'

Omar did not definitively deny that her ex-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was her brother during a segment on MS NOW's "All In with Chris Hayes."
— Alpha News (@AlphaNews) October 22, 2026

I Didn't Knowingly Know I Was Brotherly Marrying My Brother.

Oops!

Oopsie!

How awkward!

There's other evidence for this. Ilhan Nur Said Elmi had a third child with her real Muslim husband. This is the one she was married to when she also married her brother. She later "divorced" Ahmed Nur Said Elmi when he stopped seeking a Green Card -- reportedly, he withdrew his application when they began questioning him about his marriage -- and remained married to her real Muslim husband.

Ahmed Nur Said Elmi commented on a Facebook post announcing her third child.

Scott Johnson reported on this strange comment. Elmi said, of this little girl, that she was "freshfrom the vagina" -- which is bizarre enough -- but also called her "my niece."

Niece. Meaning, the daughter of your sister.

But I'm sure that Ilhan Nur Said Elmi will claim that in her village of Somalia "niece" means something other than "the daughter of my sister," like "Respected Flower" or some bullshit.

Like when she used to call her real father -- not the fake one, Omar, but the real one, Elmi -- "father" in social media.

But then claimed that in her particular village of Somalia, "Father" is just a term of respect you use for any man older than you.

Seems kind of disrespectful to your real father to call other men "father."

But she'll claim it. See, she didn't know, subjectively, that "niece" means "the daughter of my sister" or that "father" means "my male biological parent."

And remember how cocky she would be when she denied this in the past? She would cackle with her mouth wide open like a fish on a dock and laugh at the "racists" making this claim.

Well, she's not laughing now, is she? She's in tears as she says "not to my knowledge."

Close it up

The Morning Rant

—CBD

As gratifying as the prospect is of a Marine Le Pen and National Rally win in April's National elections in France, it is dangerous to assume that she will lead from the right in all matters.

Her economic philosophy is protectionist more than anything else, and her fiscal policies focus on redirection of government spending to citizens, rather than the more rational decreases that are vital to France's emergence from its budgetary disaster.

Will her immigration reforms do the job? Probably, but she is conspicuously quiet on any sort of remigration of citizens who have demonstrated antipathy toward France. And while she supports sharply decreasing legal immigration, she plans to "restrict" rather than abolish birthright citizenship.

Le Pen Extends Presidential Polling Lead as France Slides Into Chaos

According to Elabe, a French polling firm, Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN) party, leads the field for the 2027 French presidential election, with 32 percent support. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the far-left France Unbowed party, is on 15.5 percent. Former French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, leader of Horizons, an establishment-aligned centrist party, also secured 15.5 percent. Raphaël Glucksmann, leader of the center-left eurofederalist Public Square party, secured comparable support, with 15 percent. This follows Glucksmann’s successful bid to obtain the endorsement of the Socialist Party after running in the party’s primary.

Is she going to win? Maybe, but don't count out the establishment elites of France who are terrified of a Le Pen win and will do anything to prevent it. Remember, she is still under what is essentially house arrest that has been stayed during appeal.

But the bigger question: is she the best candidate for France? And the answer is a resounding 'No." Eric Zemmour and his Reconquête party are clearly the best choice for a shot at an economically powerful and culturally healthy France.

And he is polling as an also-ran, so it just isn't in the cards, which is too bad, because he would truly throw the bums out!

The Morning Report — 10/22/26

—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. As the late great Rodney Dangerfield once quipped "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out," and that segues perfectly to in my opinion given everything that's happening in France, the most laughably ridiculous item of the day.

The country best known for its cuisine, its arrogance, and its readiness to surrender at the drop of a hat is scheduled to host a regular-season NFL game in Paris between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game is still on for Sunday, October 25, in spite of the fact that the U.S. Embassy in France is warning Americans to avoid areas of unrest in the country.
The million-dollar question is, how do you avoid “unrest” if it decides to come to you? No doubt the orchestrators of the violence will know that disrupting an NFL football game in Paris will get the attention of America. With that in mind, you almost have to assume that the game already has the attention of the “mostly peaceful” violence planners. . . In the face of this, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell feels good about the security measures the league and the French government have in place for Sunday’s game. Of course, that doesn’t speak to the safety of every American fan who will be staying in the city but not under the same protection from armed guards as the players and coaches. You know, the paying customers who will have made the trip across the Atlantic for the game.

Hopefully those unlucky and stupid enough not to have cancelled their trip will be fortunate enough if all they encounter is a mostly peaceful hockey game breaking out or Muslim gang-raping on their way to the game.

And then we have the blathering of this emotionally disturbed yammering sewer rat:

On Tuesday, MS NOW’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell made the claim that “America lost the Cold War” due to President Trump’s recent diesel deal with Russia. O’Donnell launched into his hunch that Trump “now has surrendered” to Vladimir Putin. Also in on the guesswork was foreign affairs analyst and Daily Beast columnist, David Rothkopf, who argued that the president has since gone soft on Russia, reversing all the progress from the Cold War with Trump “doing his bidding”

Funny but where was this douchebag when Jimmy Carter handed Iran over to the Mullahs, the Panama Canal over to Omar Torrijos and Zimbabwe over to Robert Mugabe while pressuring Israel to hand over chunks of its ancestral homeland to Islamic terrorists and on and on. And I'll bet he was as morose as Putin when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed, much like Bernie Sanders and his fellow travelers in the Democrat Party, who are now hell bent for leather to re-establish Soviet-style rule here in America while alternately scheming to pack or dismantle the Supreme Court, abolish the Senate and in truth the Constitution amendment by amendment in the name of justice and democracy!

And because of all of that and the platform of most if not all of the current crop of Democrat candidates running in the midterms and sadly a horrifyingly large percentage if not overwhelming majority of their voters... Perhaps O'Donnell's statement that "America Lost the Cold War" might be closer to the truth than he thought, and certainly not in the way he thinks. It is he and everyone like him who has nearly brought us to our knees, so thank you and fuck you Lawrence O'Donnell.

So you can "stop the hammering" ... and the sickle-ing!!!!

Even staunch Lefty Bill Ackman has had enough.

Bill Ackman used to be a reliable vote for the Democrats. Today? Not so much. During a recent appearance on a podcast, Ackman described the Democrat Party as crazy, radicalized, and anti-American.
It is near to impossible for the average voter not to notice what Ackman is describing here, especially with the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Good of Ackman to acknowledge this but whether he admits it or not, his party has always been this way, it's just that they did their best over the years to hide it and their totalitarian intentions, to varying degrees of success. Its record of destruction, dissolution and Anti-Americanism is well known, or at least used to be until successive generations of American school children were prevented from properly learning about it from an educational system that is now fully a Leftist brainwashing and propaganda machine.

“Reading, writing, arithmetic, and resistance?

Students across the country have been taught to join the “resistance” against “settler colonialism” while being taught a sanitized view of Islamic jihad, a damning probe into major school districts revealed Wednesday. House Republicans released the findings of their investigation into multiple school districts after complaints of teachers pushing anti-Israel activism in the classroom. Parents send their children to school to learn reading, writing, and math — not to be taught to hate Israel or embrace radical political causes. Yet that’s exactly the kind of material our investigation uncovered,” Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) told The Daily Wire.

The report from the lawmakers focused on curriculum used at school districts in Philadelphia and Berkeley, where parents have complain

On these and all the other mostly depressing links, 70 by my count, I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day.

While the separation referendum got the most attention, there were nine others that cover a range of issues, from proposed Constitutional changes to health-care access. Those on immigration reform proved popular.
