Gunmen open fire on U.S. consulate in Canada, none injured: Police
Authorities have not identified a motive, though the incident comes amid the ongoing U.S. war against Iran and President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts, both of which have seen violent opposition within the U.S.
It's so weird that non-LE people can immediately identify a motive whereas LE "professionals" and "experts" are perpetually confused.
Police in Toronto, Canada, on Tuesday announced that gunmen had fired on the U.S. consulate, resulting in no injuries.
The suspects reportedly drove a white Honda CR-V, stopped in front of the building, and fired multiple rounds, before returning to the vehicle and fleeing the scene. None were injured in the incident.
Authorities have not identified a motive, though the incident comes amid the ongoing U.S. war against Iran and President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts, both of which have seen violent opposition within the U.S.
On Monday, for instance, a counter protester went viral after he threw an explosive device at a protest organized by Jan. 6 rioter Jake Lang, though it failed to detonate. Authorities are investigating a possible terrorist connection.
Although Canadian officials could not possibly name the motive we all instantly understood, they are increasing security at US and Israeli diplomatic buildings.
Just a coincidence, I'm sure. Done out of an "abundance of caution."
Canada is increasing security around U.S. and Israeli diplomatic buildings after a shooting at the U.S. consulate in Toronto, a Canadian police official said on Tuesday.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Chief Superintendent Chris Leather said the consulate shooting is being investigated as a "national security incident," although it's too early to determine the motive.
Gavin Newsom's Wretched Whore-Wife Collected $3.7 Million Taxpayer Dollars for Her "Nonprofit" Which Demonized Boys and Endlessly Promoted Transgenderism and Pansexuality to Grade School Children
California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, along with her LLC, has collected a combined $3.7 million over the last decade from a nonprofit activist organization she founded. Corporations that receive millions of dollars from the California taxpayer are behind hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to the nonprofit that Gov. Gavin Newsom's wife runs. [Daily Mail]
Siebel Newsom created a string of documentaries about gender, including Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In. Her nonprofit, The Representation Project, promotes her documentaries and engages in activism battling "intersectional gender stereotypes" and "harmful gender norms."
The nonprofit brings in between $1 million and $1.7 million a year in grants and donations, from which about $300,000 has been going directly to Siebel Newsom and her company.
The most recent IRS filings up to March 2024 show Siebel Newsom received a $150,000 salary from The Representation Project. Her company, Girls Club LLC, received another $150,000 from The Representation Project.
Siebel Newsom and her nonprofit colleagues earn above 95% more than workers at similarly sized nonprofits, according to an analysis conducted by the Daily Mail.
There are about 23,000 charities in the IRS database of nonprofits with revenues between $1 million and $2 million. The salary for the median executive at a nonprofit the size of Siebel Newsom's is $31,945.
In 2023-2024, Siebel Newsom and her LLC received $300,000 out of the $1,704,981 gross receipts. That year, The Representation Project paid a total of nearly $1 million in compensation and spent $153,691 on fundraising.
Including the money paid to Siebel Newsom and her LLC, the nonprofit paid a total of $581,942 to its executives in 2023-2024. By comparison, the median nonprofit of similar size paid its executives a total of $132,640, or less than a quarter of The Representation Project's total executive pay.
Here's how we get to taxpayer money: Crony corporations "donated" money to her grade school Sex Club "charity," and then Newsom poured taxpayer money into those same crony corporations.
...
Critics have raised numerous ethics questions over the hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to the nonprofit by companies that later received millions of dollars in California taxpayer funds.
AT&T donated $185,000 to The Representation Project from 2017 through 2020. The telecom firm received $260.4 million from the state of California in 2021. AT&T also contributed $100,000 to Gov. Newsom's inauguration fund in 2019.
That's just one example. See the article for further examples, including Comcast (owner of NBC) and PG&E.
...
Last November, the California Fair Political Practices Commission fined Gov. Newsom $13,000 for failing to timely report over $14.3 million of payments made by companies and organizations to nonprofits at his behest between 2019 and 2024.
Have you seen the Gingerbread gender propaganda? That was pushed by Newsom's highly renumerative "nonprofit."
Gavin Newsom's wife has been RAKING IN $300,000 ANNUALLY through her nonprofit, while pushing films on "toxic masculinity" & gender identity in schools.

CNN Story Valorizes Islamic Terror Bombers, Then CNN Claims It Was Just a Mistaken Tweet
—Disinformation Expert Ace
CNN's spokespotato and inveterate liar Brian Stelter is pretending it was only the "tweet" which was egregious. But he's lying. The tweet just repeated the first sentence "lede" of the story.
The story was later stealth-edited, but people had screencapped it.
CNN deleted this tweet but perhaps the responsible thing to do would’ve been to change the lede of the piece that valorized the terrorists in New York City?
Last night, a friend mentioned how strange he found it that two Muslims would target a Muslim mayor's residence. I had to explain that that's not what happened. But it's proof of what a good job outlets like CNN have done obfuscating the truth. Together with Mayor Mamdani, the liberal media has worked assiduously to make it seem like Mamdani--rather than a group of anti-Mamdani non-violent protestors--was the real victim of Saturday's terrorism.
Ever since two ISIS-inspired terrorists, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, threw explosive devices at a group of non-violent anti-Muslim protestors in New York City on Saturday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has gone out of his way to denounce . . . the protestors--the would-be victims of the terrorist attack, had their assailants succeeded.
The protest was led by far-Right social media personality Jack Lang, who gathered 20 protestors outside Mamdani's residence, Gracie Mansion, to "Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City." They were met by 100 counterprotestors, two of whom threw IEDs at Lang and his crew. By the grace of God, the bombs didn't detonate; it had been the intent of the two terrorists to exceed by leaps and bounds the Boston Marathon bombing in casualties.
You wouldn't know it from how Mayor Mamdani described the event. His initial tweet omitted any mention of the motivation behind the attack, though one of the assailants cried out "Allahu Akbar" as the device was thrown.
Instead, Mamdani led by attacking the people who would have been the victims of a massive, violent terror attack if Balat and Kayumi had succeeded.

This is literally liberals protecting themselves from real psychological shock and pain. When they face a reality that is completely opposite to what they believed to be true, instead of admitting they may have been wrong about terrorism over the last 20 years, their brains start rewriting the story to protect themselves from cognitive dissonance.
I think that was a good explanation ten years ago. Now they know what they're doing. They're simply in a war with us, although most of them are too meek and cowardly to do the killing themselves, so their contribution to the effort to literally murder us is to produce propaganda on behalf of tranny mass-shooters, antifa arsonists and street-fascists, and Islamofascist terrorists.
By the way, one of the terror lawyers is claiming these two Cultural Enrichment Boy Scouts never met before the day they attempted to commit mass casualty terrorism.
Not sure he realizes it, but this actually makes it infinitely worse if true. It would mean either that two Islamic terrorists independently decided to attack the same place on the same day, or that the original attacker was able to recruit another one on the spot almost… https://t.co/SBxYa20hAH
It's either 1, true but irrelevant -- many terrorists plot via email and do not meet until it is physically necessary -- or 2, just another taqiyya lie.
One of the two terrorists was videotaped throwing the bomb. This terror lawyer probably represents the other terrorist. Now, if you're a co-conspirator in any crime, you are chargeable for all of the acts mutually agreed to in furtherance of the conspiracy, even if you didn't physically perform them.
This lawyer, I am educatedly guessing, is trying to claim there is no conspiracy so that his client will not be convicted of the bombing, having not been caught on video throwing the bomb.
And that's a lie. Obviously these two Islamic radicals from Pennsylvania knew each other and conspired to kill non-Muslims who resist the Muslim invasion.
The Morning Rant: Family Dinner Is Now A Bad Thing?
—CBD
It's easy to despise the media when they willfully, transparently, stupidly misrepresent absolutely everything said and done by their political enemies. And it is abundantly clear that their political enemies are the American people.
An apparently anodyne announcement from RFK Jr., the current HHS Secretary, about the importance of preparing and eating meals with family has been tortured and manipulated and twisted into something bad. Hell, family meals used to be axiomatic in America, and the idea that there is anything remotely wrong with it is frankly insane. It is an objective good, and it is backed up with a fair amount of data that show families that eat together are better in many ways.
Whether that is cause or effect is another question, but the idea that there is anything wrong with advocating for family meals is ridiculous, and those who suggest it are stupid, or evil, and probably both.
Here is the unspeakably awful "Daily Beast," with a short video of RFK Jr's statement. How they got "anti-demons" is beyond me, but then I have not been trained as a serial liar and manipulator. I apologize in advance for the link to that sewer, but I couldn't find another video, except from another sewer rat...Don Lemon.
Secretary Kennedy’s message about the strength of community and the importance of sharing meals together should surprise absolutely no one. Like much of his and President Trump’s platform, it’s rooted in something (seemingly) fairly radical these days: common sense.
But common sense doesn’t generate clicks like outrage does. Because let’s be honest for a moment here…
It’s not bonkers to say we’re in a cultural — even spiritual — battle right now.
It’s not bonkers to say that spending more time with your community is good for your health.
It’s not bonkers to want kids spending less time glued to their phones and more time interacting with actual humans.
This is an entirely unsurprising response, because it is an entirely uncontroversial point. But the rabid left is maniacally fixated on anything that the Trump administration advocates, and they will attack it as if the administration is recommending that we eat and serve stray children and puppies for family dinner. Never mind that just a few years ago, RFK Jr. was the darling of the left, not just because of his famous name, but because he was seen as a brave warrior in the fight against traditional culture (even though he wasn't).
But now? He is a tool of TRUMP! And a traitor to boot, so he must be destroyed, even when advocating for an unalloyed good thing. Of course family meals are an integral part of traditional American culture, so the left is attacking two things here. But that is who they are...they dispose America and American Exceptionalism, and President Trump is a Colossus of those two things! They have to drag him and his supporters down into the muck!

Over decades, they killed and wounded thousands of Americans by bombing U.S. embassies, barracks, and bases in the Middle East—without directly confronting the American military. For years, they sent lethal shaped charge IEDs to the Shiite insurgents to slaughter and maim thousands of Americans in Iraq and to the Taliban to do the same in Afghanistan. . . their massive acquisitions of air, land, and sea weapons and the empowering of terrorists, coupled with their passive-aggressive claims to victimhood, both scared and enticed President Obama into dropping sanctions. Soon, he was apologizing for supposed past sins and nocturnally sending them millions of dollars in Danegeld.
But worse by far, Obama thought he had squared the circle of neutralizing the supposed Middle Eastern Iranian juggernaut by envisioning it as an empathetic victim—and eventual friend if not ally. . . When Trump and Netanyahu are out of office, they dream of using their oil to rearm and resume their role as Chinese and Russian proxies, eventually getting the bomb, and the second time around, perhaps using it. Theocratic Iran, in its fantasies, still believes that if it ever destroyed Israel with a bomb or two, the world, especially given the recrudescence of Western antisemitism, would be appalled—for a day or two. Then it would resume business with it. And with a dozen or so deterrent nuclear-tipped missiles, the Iranian ritual boilerplate of crazed pronouncements would follow of supposedly welcoming a nuclear pathway to an eternal virginal Paradise.
Excellent observations as usual by lurker extraordinaire and Ace cruelty fanboi numero uno Prof. Victor Davis Hanson.
And of course, while the Iranian mullah-ocracy has been waging war against us for 47 years lest we forget that its driving force Islam has been waging a war of conquest against the entire world for nearly 1,500 years and regardless of the outcome this time around in Iran, please God the Muallahs are removed and a benign if not sane government and society are restored sans Islam, the latter will never stop in its eternal crusade to conquer the world.
Two Muslims threw IEDs at protesters against the Islamization of New York. The media is pushing the usual narrative that they were ‘radicalized’ and support ISIS.
There was also a bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo. . . And there was another explosion outside a synagogue in Belgium. . .
. . . Now let’s go back to that pattern thing. If there had been an explosion outside a mosque, if two Christian men had thrown IEDs at a Muslim rally and if a bomb had gone off outside a Muslim country’s embassy in the wake of a mass shooting at a Muslim restaurant… the media would spot the pattern and broadcast it as loudly as it could. Instead anyone who does is promptly lectured about ‘Islamophobia’. Because the narrative must be protected at all costs from spotting the pattern.
The press release states that during a “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City, Stop New York City Public Muslim Prayer” protest outside Gracie Mansion, Balat allegedly “ignited and threw an explosive device” toward protesters. (RELATED: Mamdani Leaves Huge Policing Question Unanswered After ISIS-Linked Bomb Attack)
After throwing the device, Balat allegedly retrieved a second explosive from Kayumi down the block. Balat appeared to ignite and drop it near several New York Police Department (NYPD) officers before running away. He was quickly tackled, and both he and Kayumi were arrested by officers moments later. After his arrest, Balat told NYPD officers, “This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet.” He claimed, “If I didn’t do it someone else will come and do it.” The press release states that Balat requested a piece of paper after arriving at the NYPD precinct, allegedly writing, “All praise is due to Allah lord of all worlds! I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu [sic] kuffar! Emir B.” Kuffar is the plural form of “kafir,” an Arabic word which means “nonbeliever” or “infidel” according to the Counter Extremism Project.
That Mamdani is as rabid as they are makes no difference had he and his wife been maimed or killed. It's the same mindset that considers the deaths of their own children and others as good propaganda to further the cause.
He told Breitbart News that President Donald Trump’s decision to strike reflects a clear America First action taken squarely in the nation’s national-security interest after diplomacy failed to stop a radical regime racing toward a hardened nuclear threshold — a precision campaign designed not to start another forever war, but to end one, restore American deterrence, and place the region on the precipice of a new Middle Eastern order.

In an attempt to ease concerns over spiking oil prices, President Trump has insisted that this critical chokepoint is now safe enough to pass through due to sufficient damage to Iran’s navy at the hands of the U.S. military. It’s only a matter of “guts.” The dynamics on the ground, however, are far more complicated and risky than the president and the administration seem to realize.

For the really fun stuff you have to go out to the other end of the Sound, near where it meets Block Island Sound and then the Atlantic.

"We have charged the two alleged ISIS-inspired terrorists who attempted to bomb a protest in New York City," Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X on Monday afternoon. "We will not allow ISIS's poisonous, anti-American ideology to threaten this nation. Our law enforcement officers will remain vigilant."
The charges include providing material support to a terrorist organization and using a weapon of mass destruction.
The Terror Teens hoped to murder more people than their heroes, the Muslims who bombed the Boston Marathon.
In the NYPD vehicle en route to the NYPD precinct, BALAT, without being questioned by the NYPD officers transporting him, made the following spontaneous utterances, in part and as captured on the transporting NYPD officers' body-worn camera footage: 'this isn't a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet... We take action! We take action!'; and "'I didn't do it someone else will come and do it.'
After arriving at the precinct and being advised of, and waiving, his Miranda rights, BALAT requested a piece of paper and, after being given a paper and pen, wrote the following: 'All praise is due to Allah lord of all worlds! I pledge my allegience [sic] to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu [sic] kuffar! Emir B.' Based on my training and experience, I know that "kuffar" is an Arabic term that refers to 'non-believers' or 'infidels,' and that 'Die in your rage' is a slogan used by ISIS and based on a verse in the Quran.
Law enforcement officers later asked BALAT if he was familiar with the Boston Marathon bombing, and if that was what BALAT had hoped to accomplish. BALAT responded: 'No, even bigger. It was only three deaths.'

In Indiana, a Marion County Superior Court judge issued a permanent injunction March 5 blocking enforcement of Indiana's abortion ban on the outrageous claim that there is a so-called religious right to kill babies in abortions.
The judge blocked the ban for a certified class of people who claim killing a baby in an abortion is an exercise of their religious beliefs.
The ruling is prompting sharp criticism from pro-life advocates, who called the decision a perversion of religious freedom protections.
Judge Christina R. Klineman ruled that the state's 2022 abortion law violates Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act by substantially burdening the religious exercise of the plaintiffs. The class includes members of Hoosier Jews for Choice and others whose beliefs hold that a woman's mental or physical health takes precedence over the right to life of an unborn child. Never mind that abortions have been linked for decades to depression, suicide and adverse mental health problems.
"The state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act bars a law that substantially interferes with class members' religious beliefs that a pregnant person's mental or physical health takes precedence over that of a zygote, embryo, or fetus," Klineman wrote.
The state did not show it had a compelling interest justifying protecting babies from certain death, she claimed.
The judge further stated: "The abortion law would allow a plaintiff to seek an abortion if her pregnancy were the result of rape, but not if it were mandated by her religious beliefs. The state has not justified this differential treatment by establishing that its interest in the same prenatal life changes based upon the reason for terminating a pregnancy."

The institution of marriage "fundamentalism" reinforces White supremacy, according to an academic paper released by George Mason University professor Bethany Letiecq.
Letiecq's paper claims Americans have become accustomed to marriage fundamentalism in order to achieve "benefits, rights and protections."
Marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy," the paper reads.
Letiecq begins the piece by noting "as a White, cisgender woman, I am currently living with my partner and co-raising our children in a committed heterosexual union outside the institution of marriage." She continues, noting the origins of both White supremacy and marriage before explaining how each became favored by religious conservatives.
"Proponents of marriage fundamentalism include conservative, Christian, and right-wing organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), and the Family Research Council which recently gained tax exempt status as a church," Letiecq wrote.
Marriage fundamentalism, the scholar claims, has roots in Manifest Destiny and colonialism, leading to the "delegitimization of diverse family and kinship structures." Due to the amount of non-traditional living arrangements of LGBT families and "grandparents rearing their grandchildren," the nuclear family is actually the least common living situation in the country, the scholar said.
The Telegraph, itself a simp dhimmi outlet, claims this was just a "mistake" rather than what it actually was, deliberate pro-terrorism propaganda.
The BBC mistakenly altered a speech by Pete Hegseth on the war in Iran, making him appear to say the United States was targeting the Iranian "people".
BBC Persian, which broadcasts to audiences inside Iran, mistranslated remarks by the US secretary of defence, telling viewers Washington was bringing death to the Iranian "people".
In fact, Mr Hegseth had said the Iranian "regime" was being targeted.
The mistake was seized upon by pro-Israel media campaigners, who claimed that it cast doubt on the BBC's impartiality. It also triggered a backlash on social media.
Ah. There was some "seizing" on the "mistake" by "pro-Israel media campaigners."
The row risks putting the BBC on another collision course with Donald Trump, who launched a $10bn (Ł7.5bn) lawsuit against the corporation last year after The Telegraph revealed it had altered a speech in a way that made him appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot.
Mr Trump has justified the ongoing war in the Middle East by arguing that Tehran's leadership, not its population, poses a direct threat to American national security after repeatedly calling for "death to America".
The BBC, which carried Mr Hegseth's Pentagon address live on Monday, translated the word "regime" as "mardom", the Persian word for "people". It later issued a correction.
Speaking of pro-terrorist propaganda: Tucker Carlson said that Trump's call for "unconditional surrender" is really just a call for foreign troops to "rape Iranian women and girls," so Trump should not call for unconditional surrender and his brave friends in Iran should never agree to such a campaign of foreign despoilation of their daughters.
Don't surrender, Iran -- Jews just want to rape your children.
And Americans, too. But I think he means the Jews. It's what he always means now.
He also took time to accuse Mark Levin of using Jewish Kaballah Witchcraft to cast a literal Jew-spell on Mike Huckabee.

The idea that America is "under the spell of Jews" or controlled through "Jewish witchcraft" isn't new or insightful, it’s a recycled conspiracy theory that traces back to centuries of European religious prejudice.
In medieval Christian Europe, including within parts of Catholic culture, Jews were often demonized and accused of dark, mystical influence over society.
Those myths like secret Jewish power or supernatural manipulation were used to justify discrimination and persecution.
Even though the modern Catholic Church formally rejected antisemitism during the Second Vatican Council through the declaration Nostra Aetate, the old narratives STILL linger in certain corners of political and internet culture.
When people today talk about "Jewish spells" or mystical control, they're not exposing a hidden truth they’re repeating medieval propaganda dressed up as modern commentary.
Iran's Women's Soccer Team Protested the Regime By Refusing to Sing Its Islamofascist Anthem; Iran Declares Them "Wartime Traitors;" Australia Is Determined to Send Them Back to Iran to be Arrested (and Maybe Hanged)

They were playing in Australia. They know if they go back to Iran, they'll be tried as war criminals.
5 Iranian women soccer players flee hotel, seek asylum in Australia, exiled crown prince says
Five members of the Iranian national women's soccer team have left the hotel where they were staying in Australia and sought asylum in the country, according to Iranian opposition figure and exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi. The Sydney Morning Herald also said the women -- who were dubbed traitors by Iranian state television over the weekend for declining to sing their national anthem before a game -- had fled the hotel and were planning to seek asylum in Australia.
Australian authorities have been urged to help the Iranian team's players after their exit from the Asian Cup, over fears of what might happen to them if they fly back home as scheduled amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
The office of Pahlavi, whose father, the Western-backed Shah, was ousted during the Islamic Revolution in 1979, said on social media that his opposition group had learned of the five players seeking asylum, naming them in the post.
"These five courageous athletes, currently in a safe location, have announced that they have joined Iran's national Lion and Sun Revolution," the post from Pahlavi's office added, a reference to the pre-Islamic Revolution flag of Iran.
Sources in the Iranian-Australian community told the Morning Herald the women were "receiving support" after making a break from the rest of their team and its handlers in the Gold Coast area on Monday night.
"Police have taken them somewhere safe," Brisbane-based human rights activist Hadi Karimi told the paper. "It's great, it's amazing."
Australia's Department of Home Affairs did not immediately respond to a CBS News request to confirm that the five had applied for asylum.
If Australia grants refuge to the women it is likely to draw sharp criticism from Iran.
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Monday that she didn't want to "get into commentary" about the women's fate.
Before their first game of the tournament in Australia, against South Korea, the players declined to sing or salute their country's national anthem, prompting calls for harsh punishment from conservatives back inside Iran. The Islamic Republic's state television network branded them "traitors" and accused them of "the pinnacle of dishonor."
...
In their two subsequent matches, the team sang and saluted their anthem. Alireza Mohebbi, a correspondent in Australia for the opposition Iran International news network, told Australian network ABC the players would not have done so by choice."It's completely obvious that the Islamic Republic's regime, and the security team which is with the players in Australia, forced them to sing the anthem," he said. "In the first match with South Korea they didn't do it, but now with all the pressure and media spreading the news around the world, it's completely obvious the regime pushed them not just to sing the anthem but to do the military salute. There is no doubt."
Trump is telling the cowardly dhimmis in Australia that if they're too scared to grant them refuge, the US will take them.
Millions upon millions of fake "refugee" Muslims are allowed to pour into these formerly western nations without any scrutiny, but when girls threatened with murder make a legitimate request for asylum, these formerly western countries are too afraid of upsetting the ummah to grant it.

The terrorists are the sons of naturalized citizen Muslim parents.
Denaturalize and deport. We don't have to put up with this.
One of the accused terrorists busted for lobbing explosive devices near Gracie Mansion flashed a sick salute honoring ISIS as he was led in shackles from a police precinct Monday.
Emir Balat, 18, was seen holding up his right index finger -- a universal salute for the terror group -- and grinning at the press while being led by a cop and an FBI agent.
Balat, wearing a black T-shirt and beige pants, made the gesture before one of the officers flanking him slapped down his hand.
ISIS fighters have often used the index finger gesture in their propaganda. The gesture is also used by many Muslims to demonstrate their commitment to monotheism.
Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, both from Pennsylvania, were set to face federal charges on Monday.
The pair was arrested Saturday after allegedly trying to detonate a homemade "Mother of Satan" bomb during a protest outside New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Upper East Side residence.
Law enforcement sources told The Post that one of the two suspects used the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) after their police interview.
Balat, whose parents are reportedly from Turkey but who became naturalized citizens in 2017, grew up in a four-bed two-bath home in the leafy Pennsylvania suburb of Langhorne, worth an estimated $653,000, while his alleged sidekick lived in a $2.25 million six-bedroom home near the New Jersey border.
Agents were seen raiding Balat's home following his arrest, as a "terror investigation" was underway.
The two teenagers reportedly made pro-ISIS statements while in police custody, and admitted to watching Islamist terror propaganda videos, federal law enforcement sources told Fox News correspondent CB Cotton.
...
The device, which consisted of a sports drink bottle filled with volatile explosive material TATP, set inside a glass jar surrounded by nuts and bolts, according to CBS News, could have been fatal if it had detonated.

• Those 92,000 non-farm jobs that were lost include about 10,000 government employees.
• An undetermined number of NGO (non-governmental organization) workers whose funding has been cut off by Trump/DOGE were among those lost jobs too. These are jobs that conservatives have long advocated for elimination.
• The cold weather in February caused over 200,000 people to be unable to work.
• According to the Office of Personnel Management, Trump / DOGE has eliminated 264,000 federal jobs since he took office in January 2025. That is about 11% of the federal workforce taken off the government payroll in barely a year.
• Over the past year, employment of native-born Americans is up significantly. I get differing results based on whether we are talking about within the past 12 months or since Trump’s inauguration, but there are hundreds of thousands more native-born US citizens with jobs.
• Employment of foreign-born workers in the US is down over 500,000 since Trump’s inauguration.
• If all the fretting about the fragility of the economy were real, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell would have reason to finally cut interest rates, but he won’t. (Of course this is also driven by Powell’s partisan animus to Donald Trump. Powell is an Obama/Biden loyalist who, in my opinion, seeks to harm the Trump presidency. The end of his disgraceful tenure in two months will be a breath of fresh air.)
With the changes that President Trump is making by prioritizing US citizens over non-citizens, and by prioritizing taxpayers over tax recipients, there are obviously going to be some economic disruptions. But these are also necessary, and they are disruptions that we conservatives have been seeking for decades.
Isn’t it funny how all the “economic conservatives” of NeverTrump who have preached in favor of smaller government for decades keep sneering that Donald Trump is not a “true conservative,” even though President Trump is the first Republican in my lifetime to actually slash the federal government upon taking office?

For those at home and abroad who don’t know what to make of President Donald Trump’s talk of “unconditional surrender” from Tehran and how the next supreme leader is “not going to last long,” allow us to translate: He expects Iran to find leadership that isn’t committed to an insane Islamist agenda. That is, one that won’t seek nuclear weapons and ICBMs, sponsor global terror (including efforts to assassinate him) or work to impose Islamist puppet governments across the Middle East — all at the expense of the long-suffering Iranian people. Call it: Make Iran Normal Again.
The news of Mojtaba becoming the next Supreme Leader of Iran comes after President Donald Trump told ABC News that the next Supreme Leader of Iran would “have to get approval” from the United States, adding that without approval “he’s not going to last long.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump suggested the possibility of a ground operation had not been ruled out, saying U.S. forces could move in at a later stage of the conflict if necessary. “Right now we’re just decimating them, but we haven’t gone after it,” Trump said, referring to Iran’s nuclear material. “But something we could do later on. We wouldn’t do it now.”
The context here was not a full-blown ground offensive but some sort of limited special ops mission to secure the nuclear material. Even still, and I'm no expert, I have to believe this would require a large number of personnel as well as aircraft and perhaps ground vehicles. Oy. Even if successful, the fact that Khameini's son would become the next fuhrer with much of the previous Nazi high command still in power, Israeli Air Force bunker busters notwithstanding, how much longer can this go on. Unless a non-Islamic armageddon-seeking Muallahocracy takes control of Iran, my fear is that all of this will have been for naught.
In calling for unconditional surrender, Trump is seeking not just regime change. He seeks the destruction of the Islamic regime that has held Iran in its fearsome grip since 1979, when the Ayatollah Khomeini flew in from Paris to commence his theocratic reign of terror. Richard Falk, writing in The New York Times, cheered the event, predicting that Khomeini would show the world what “a genuine Islamic government can do.” I agree that Khomeini did just that. But I reckon that all the bodies he had hung from cranes did not exactly fulfill Falk’s expectations. . .
Meanwhile, halfway around the world in the Western Hemisphere, the Communist dictatorship in Cuba is entering its final days. The daring extraction of Nicolás Maduro from Caracas at the beginning of January cut off Cuba’s supply of oil. Most of the island has been without power for days. Riots have erupted in Havana. “Down with Communism” is the refrain. On Thursday, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said that he is open to talks with the United States on “any issue” in order to build “a civilized relationship between neighbors” that is “mutually beneficial.” In Costa Rica, President-elect Laura Fernández says that she wants to work with the Trump administration to confront organized crime in order to avoid becoming ridden with drug cartels in the way Mexico has been. “Mexico, for me, is a reference point for where we don’t want to end up.” As I write, Trump is meeting in Miami with El Salvador president Nayib Bukele, Argentina president Javier Milei, and other Latin American leaders at the Shield of the Americas ceremony. The goal? First, to crush the drug cartels that have been poisoning Americans for years. Second, to stop the flow of illegal immigration to the United States. Third, to work together to forge mutually beneficial commercial and security relationships.
. . . It is difficult to keep up with Donald Trump’s dizzying pace. Since January 20, 2025, and with ever-increasing velocity, he has been stuffing decades into weeks. I don’t think there has ever been anything like it in American history.
Indeed. President Trump in both his terms, both domestically and in foreign policy has succeeded in overturning the tables of he money-changers in the temple, so to speak. At the barest of bare minimums he has exposed the hypocrisy and charade of the professional political class and done what he could, almost singlehandedly to attempt to reverse course.
Federal prosecutors in South Florida are preparing a comprehensive investigation into numerous government officials who oversee the communist regime that controls Cuba. The United States Attorney for the District of Southern Florida is spearheading the inquiry, which is focused on uncovering evidence tying Cuban Communist Party officials to allegations of drug, immigration, economic, and violent crimes, with the aim of allowing the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to bring swift indictments should the regime fall.Notably, the investigatory actions in the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Southern Florida come as President Donald J. Trump ramps up pressure on the Cuban government to abdicate its rule and transition away from the communist ideology imposed by the island’s late dictator, Fidel Castro, and subsequently enforced by his brother Raúl Castro. Since the removal of Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro from power earlier this year, Trump has contemplated action against Cuba, which maintained close ties to the Marxist regime in Venezuela. The U.S. President has even floated the possibility of military action against the communist island once current hostilities with the Islamic Republic of Iran conclude.The case being built by U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones in South Florida could provide pivotal legal and political justification for potential Trump administration actions against Cuba. As part of the effort, Quiñones has formed a working group that includes prosecutors from his office, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as the Treasury Department, the State Department, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

AI is Asshoe
I admit to using AI platforms occasionally. AI is obviously not going away, so I figure I'll try to use it to my advantage. Grok is the least shitty of them all, in my opinion. ChatGPT sucks donkey balls -- it is left leaning and argumentative. The Pentagon seems to be OK with that for some reason. The Dept of Defense (War?) recently launched an AI portal for its military and civilian employees. That has led to backlash against Open AI.
OpenAI just handed one of its biggest rivals a massive PR victory, in a blunder that even CEO Sam Altman admitted had optics that “don’t look good.”
On Friday, Altman announced that OpenAI had reached a new agreement with the Department of Defense over how its AI systems would be deployed across the military, an act that many saw as the company crossing the picket line. That’s because Anthropic, a company founded by former OpenAI employees, had refused to give in to the Pentagon’s demands that it give the military unrestricted use of its Claude AI, even as CEO Dario Amodei insisted that Anthropic’s AI not be used for autonomous weaponry or the mass surveillance of US citizens.
It was a move that could come at great cost for Anthropic. The Pentagon had vowed to ice the company out of contracts with the federal government by declaring it a “supply chain risk,” and even threatened to seize its tech.
But at least in the short term, it’s OpenAI that’s facing more blowback for its decision. Online, scores of users — ranging from your typical AI bro to, we kid you not, Katy Perry — are saying they’re ditching ChatGPT in favor of Claude because of Altman’s deal with the Pentagon. Indeed, Claude surged to the top of the App Store over the weekend, and as of Monday, still claims the number one spot above ChatGPT, which is currently in second place.
A recent thread in the r/ChatGPT subreddit calling on users to to quit the AI chatbot quickly became one of the forum’s most highly-upvoted posts of all time.
“You’re now training a war machine,” the thread reads. “Let’s see proof of cancellation.”

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.
-----
Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 is in full swing, and while it's heavy on elegant glamour, structured tailoring, and celebrity-packed front rows, a few moments have veered straight into delightfully outrageous territory. We're talking pieces that make you do a double-take, and probably screenshot for the group chat. Here's a roundup of the most wildly over-the-top, boundary-pushing, and just plain bonkers things we've seen on (and off) the runways so far this week.
1. Matières Fécales' Alien Backstage Nightmare
This underground-ish presentation (tied to Paris Fashion Week's off-schedule energy) went viral for its backstage moments featuring models with alien-like contouring, distorted facial features, ghostly pale skin, and freaky contact lenses that turned them into otherworldly beings. It's not your classic "pretty dress" moment—it's pure surreal shock value, leaving viewers fascinated, horrified, and meme-ing nonstop. Michèle Lamy sightings only amplified the eerie vibe. Outrageous level: 11/10. This one's for the "fashion is weird and we love it" crowd.
2. Loewe's Polly Pocket Latex Fever Dream
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez's sophomore Loewe outing embraced childhood whimsy... but made it unhinged. We're talking latex dresses molded to the body with intricate toy-box patterns, rubber scarves twisting around necks and shoulders like deranged accessories, and an overall "raided a mischievous toy chest" energy. It's meticulous craft meets gleeful absurdity—think high-luxury playtime gone rogue. Not subtle and absolutely conversation-starting. If "craft gets weird in a good way" is your vibe, this collection delivered.
3. Dior's Lily-Pad Heels and Voluminous Tutu Extravaganza
Jonathan Anderson kicked off the week with a garden-party spectacle in the Jardin des Tuileries, front row stacked with Anya Taylor-Joy, Jisoo, Priyanka Chopra, and more. The collection opened with massive voluminous tutus, followed by playful peplums, jazzy jeans, and—wait for it—heels sculpted to look like lily pads. It's grand, glorious, and a touch ridiculous in the best way: high fashion meets fairy-tale whimsy. Not outright shocking, but the sheer scale and playful exaggeration make it feel like a dream you want to live in.
4. Saint Laurent's Silicone-Coated Lace Rebellion
Anthony Vaccarello marked his 10th anniversary with razor-sharp Le Smoking tributes, plunging necklines, and sultry sheer layers. The standout? Lace coated in silicone for structure, shine, and a subversive edge—turning delicate fabric into something almost armor-like and extra defiant. Paired with pointy sky-high stilettos, leather, and plastic skirts, it's magnetic, body-baring, and provocative. Timeless glamour? Sure. But dialed up to feel dangerously naughty.
5. Bonus Street Style Shenanigans
The runways get the glory, but the sidewalks are serving chaos too:
Paris Fashion Week still has heavy-hitters like Chanel, Balenciaga, and Louis Vuitton coming up, so expect more madness before it wraps on March 10. In the meantime, these early standouts prove the City of Light isn't afraid to get a little unhinged

NOW: The crowd goes TOTALLY SILENT when Biden tells them HE closed the border -- not Trump
Even a crowd full of DEMOCRATS know that's a total lie
Maybe having a dementia patient out there attempting to rewrite history ain't the brightest idea, @DNC
