Too Many Democrats Want Us Dead
https://www.americanthinker.
After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, and the violent targeting of federal agents in Minnesota, non-leftists in America must accept that leftists intend to do them harm. There are no signs that Democrats want to de-escalate political tensions in the United States. On the contrary, at least since community organizer Barack Obama became president, escalation — including verbal harassment, stalking, physical intimidation, and outright violence — has been a key component of Democrats’ political strategy. Scaring political opponents into silence or subjugation is now standard operating procedure for the Democrat Party.
Too many violent Democrats want us dead. Too few authorities will do anything to stop the threat. Be safe. Be vigilant. Be ready.

In Birmingham, a convicted terrorist with a documented history of jihadist violence, criminality, and incendiary Islamist rhetoric is now standing for local office, presenting himself as a “unifier.” Shahid Butt, jailed for his role in an armed terror plot and openly advocating violence, religious segregation, and confrontation with “disbelievers,” is being normalized as a legitimate political actor. This is what a fading civilization looks like: one afraid to name its enemies, willing to rebrand extremism as activism, and mistaking intimidation for representation. Nothing is static; everything moves. And when societies refuse to draw lines, the direction of travel is unmistakable—and downward.

Ilhan Omar’s Winery Disappears…Literally Gone From the Internet and Archives
https://hotair.com/david-
A major part of that growth in wealth has been the rapid rise in the valuation of a sketchy “winery” from a few thousand dollars to a whopping $5 million to$15 million, despite having (perhaps) released few wines and, in recent years, none at all. Its locations appear to be empty buildings, its wines are unavailable, and once attention was turned to its sketchy nature, all the information about it disappeared from the internet.

The Truly Scary Part of Minneapolis Protests
https://bearingarms.com/
Author Larry Correia, though, noted that the right and the left are different when it comes to violence. The right is, in fact, a switch. It’s all or nothing, really. The left is a dial, where it slowly ramps up until they’re full-on communist revolution or something of that sort. A lot of people roll their eyes at that idea, the thought that the American political left even could pop off like that, but take a look at what Schwalm is talking about for a moment. That’s a level of coordination that is an easy jumping-off point to something darker if they feel the need. And it’s not like Trump can cave on this, either, because the moment he does, the mob knows they have the final say. Not the courts, not the Constitution itself, and not the voters, but the loud, horrifying mob. Yet if he doesn’t, they may decide to escalate this until we get beyond that “kinetic threshold” mentioned above.

A friend of mine who is a political activist said something interesting the other day, and that was for most people on the left political violence is a knob, and they can turn the heat up and down, with things like protests, and riots, all the way up to destruction of property, and sometimes murder… But for the vast majority of folks on the right, it’s an off and on switch. And the settings are Vote or Shoot Fucking Everybody. And believe me, you really don’t want that switch to get flipped, because Civil War 2.0 would make Bosnia look like a trip to Disneyworld.

“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”

The regime is tottering and facing a massive and imminent threat of intervention from the United States. What to do? Call CNN. CNN went to Iran with regime approval, interviewed regime-selected people who support Khamenei, and presented a pro-regime narrative
Iran echos Iranian regime lies, ingnoring the brutal crackdown on protesters and emphasizing regime messaging over the voices of those fighting for freedom. Western journalists in Tehran have been constrained by access rules that limit reporting to what the authorities want published, resulting in stories that are sanitized or deferential to Tehran’s talking points. CNN ignored the thousands of deaths and widespread repression. – They are (willing) accomplices to the butchery.
Lloyd Austin’s COVID Tyranny Continues As Shadow Policy at the Department of War
https://redstate.com/chase-
During his tenure as Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin abandoned his oath of office as a retired military officer and embarked on a mission to radicalize America’s military. That came in three primary phases. He first made clear that any thought aligned to conservative philosophy was suspect, and should be considered on par with an undefined ‘extremism,’ which was to be rooted out. Second, he forced the radical transgender movement onto the ranks and openly defied law to use Defense Department funds to cover abortion travel. Commanders were required to approve actions related to these wicked ideological movements, regardless of their conscience on the matter. Finally came the unlawful COVID mandate. These three things in concert were designed to make America’s military a place in which morally-minded service members faced a daily barrage of attacks against conscience. Secretary Austin aimed to purge people who love America and its founding ideals from the ranks. To our national detriment, he was largely successful.

Multiple other shootings took place in that seven-block area after Seattle police abandoned their East Precinct. Calls about “rapes, robberies and all sorts of violent acts,” according to Seattle Police Chief at the time, Carmen Best, had tripled.

700 Boxes of Ballots Seized After FBI Executes Fulton County Warrant, Dems Try to Develop ‘Legal Plan’
https://redstate.com/rusty-
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents executed a search warrant at Fulton County’s elections office in Georgia on Wednesday.
The search warrant included a list of “particular things” that were to be seized during the raid. The document specifies that “all physical ballots from the 2020 general election,” ballot images, tabulator tapes, and “all voter rolls” are to be targeted…Fulton County Commissioner Mo Ivory fretted that the search was “all wrong” and vowed to “figure out a legal plan” to counter the ongoing investigation. Why, pray tell, would you need a legal plan to counter what were no doubt boxes of legitimate election ballots and voter rolls? Hundreds of boxes, it turns out…“They are now in there getting the documents,” she said in a video posted to social media. “Seven hundred boxes of 2020 ballots and accompanying things that go with it. You know, absentee ballots, all the things.”…”Once they have the ballots,” a concerned Ivory said, “how do we then turn around and do something different when they’ve already got their hands on it?

Hunter Biden Argues He’s Not Legally Obligated to Communicate with His 7-Year-Old Daughter in New Court Filing
https://www.westernjournal.
Hunter Biden says being a bad dad is his right and no one can make him change. Biden and former stripper Lunden Roberts have been at odds for most of the life of 7-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, the child he fathered with Roberts. The child’s story is paved with court hearings over paternity and support that were solved, for a time, in a 2023 settlement. Earlier this month, Roberts asked an Arkansas judge to have Hunter Biden arrested for violating the agreement, as noted by the Daily Mail, which noted that one of the terms of the agreement was that former President Joe Biden’s son would meet with the girl. But Hunter Biden’s legal team now says that will not happen. “Any failure to communicate with the Child is not punishable by contempt, as the Order does not order Defendant to communicate with the Child,” attorney Brent Langdon wrote in a filing to respond to Roberts, according to the New York Post.

She staged it.” “There are no other options,”…option No. 3 — presented by Rep.

This May Be the Most Important Piece of Legislation of Our Lifetimes
https://pjmedia.com/matt-
The Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act hit the floor on Thursday, and it’s a full-throttle effort to secure elections in ways Democrats have long fought against.
For starters, the MEGA Act would require a photo ID to vote and mandate proof of citizenship to register nationwide. The bill also directly targets practices that became major flashpoints in 2020 that undermined confidence in the 2020 election. This legislation mandates that mail-in ballots must arrive by the close of polls on Election Day to be counted, with one exception for military personnel overseas. Several states currently allow ballots postmarked by Election Day to be accepted later, which delays results in vote-by-mail-heavy states like California.

He pointed to New York City, which he referred to as the “home of 9/11,” now having a Muslim mayor as evidence of the growing political and social influence of Muslims in the United States. Malik said opponents of Islam are watching this growth with fear, believing Muslims are poised to “replace” them in positions of privilege, and he affirmed that such a shift is, in his view, imminent. – (When your enemy tell you who they are, and what they want, believe them. – jlr)

Rogue Memers: Modern-Day Sons of Liberty
https://pjmedia.com/jamie-
The power of prank politics does not come from transgression, but from restraint enforced informally and collectively. Boundaries are maintained through reputation rather than punishment. Participants know when a joke clarifies and when it merely provokes. When mockery turns cruel or incoherent, it doesn’t need to be banned; people stop spreading it. No one laughs, and the joke dies. This internal discipline is easy to miss from the outside, where the absence of centralized control is mistaken for chaos. In reality, informal norms are often stricter than formal rules, because they operate through belonging. Humor persists only as long as it binds rather than fractures, and that collective discernment is what keeps ridicule corrective instead of destructive. It is, ultimately, populist in the purest sense.
The Rise of the New Confederacy
https://pjmedia.com/josh-
Democrats in America have a long and inglorious history of invoking “states’ rights” and shirking federal law. It has never ended well. South Carolinian John C. Calhoun emerged as the most passionate advocate for state nullification. Calhoun argued not only for a state’s “right” to nullify federal law but also to secede from the Union, if necessary, to secure its sovereignty. The result was the 1861 attack on Fort Sumter and the 600,000-plus slain in the Civil War…The good news for President Donald Trump is that he has a clear legal precedent for how to respond, if the neo-Confederate uprising in Minnesota continues apace. On April 15, 1861, in response to the attack on Fort Sumter three days prior, President Abraham Lincoln invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807. Trump has recently been musing about doing the same. Will Trump pull the trigger? Maybe. After all, there’s nothing new under the sun.
Bob Iger Is Determined to Keep ‘Song of the South’ Buried
https://pjmedia.com/chris-
Song of the South, with main characters who are freed slaves, fell afoul of political correctness, and audiences haven’t been able to see it since 1986, unless they can get their hands on a bootleg copy. But Walt Disney took extra care to make sure that Song of the South wasn’t racist, as I wrote way back in 2013:
Bunny Hunting – Not just for professionals anymore.
https://thelawdogfiles.
How bad could that be? Well, the title of this essay comes from a sport that ham radio folks like to play — “Bunny hunting”. Not only do amateur radio enthusiasts have fun chasing down radio transmitters — like the Baofeng in the X video above — but they’ll even do it on foot. Let me restate that: A bunch of radio nerds find a great deal of pleasure in discovering which of them can locate a transmitter the fastest — and will venture out from their lairs to do so. Not the military. Not the police. Not the government. Private citizens doing “speed radio direction finding” for bragging rights, the fun of it, and minor prizes.
Melania Trump Documentary Scores $8 Million Opening, Best Documentary Box Office Debut in a Decade
https://istandforfreedom.com/
For nearly a decade, Melania Trump has weathered a relentless campaign of mockery, dismissal, and outright hostility from a media establishment that never bothered to understand her—or the millions of Americans who admire her…when Amazon announced Melania, a documentary offering unprecedented access to the First Lady during the twenty days before her husband’s 2025 inauguration, the media had their scripts ready. Empty theaters. Box office humiliation. Who would possibly want to see this? Industry reporters gleefully cited soft early ticket sales in the UK. I’d call it predictable if it weren’t so exhausting. The narrative was set before a single American had the chance to buy a ticket. But Americans had other plans…“Coming in at third is Amazon MGM Studios’ Brett Ratner-directed documentary Melania, which is eyeing $2.85M today for an $8M opening in third place—that result would mark the best start for a docu in the last decade. I’m hearing sales are gaining, with Florida and Texas quite large, for the First Lady’s big-screen debut.”
Anti-Gun Chuck Schumer Defends Second Amendment in Bizarre Attempt to Own Trump: ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’
https://www.westernjournal.
President Donald Trump has done the impossible. Democrats now openly defend the right to keep and bear arms, invoking the Second Amendment…“Donald Trump continues to blame Alex Pretti for his own death. He said yesterday Pretti should not have been carrying a gun. “The president seems to have forgotten the words of the Second Amendment, quote, ‘The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’” Older public officials constantly forget the internet exists. Gone are the days of their previous statements that contradict newer ones disappearing into the abyss. Schumer has a long history of anti-gun activism easily found.

The Dial vs The Switch – Larry Correia: – November 19, 2018 (for clarity, read the entire posting – jlr)
https://monsterhunternation.
A friend of mine who is a political activist said something interesting the other day, and that was for most people on the left political violence is a knob, and they can turn the heat up and down, with things like protests, and riots, all the way up to destruction of property, and sometimes murder… But for the vast majority of folks on the right, it’s an off and on switch. And the settings are Vote or Shoot Fucking Everybody. And believe me, you really don’t want that switch to get flipped, because Civil War 2.0 would make Bosnia look like a trip to Disneyworld.

“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.” ― Alexandr Solzhenitsyn – The Gulag Archipelago, 1973.
Florida Man Friday: His Car Was So Hot…
https://pjmedia.com/
https://istandforfreedom.com/
The Lone Star State saw a 10.1% increase in economic output on a per-capita basis from 2021 to 2024, based on calculations using Bureau of Economic Analysis and U.S. Census figures. In dollar terms, Texas boosted economic output per resident from roughly $64,000 to nearly $71,000…The battle of ideas has a scoreboard now, and Texas is winning. But winning the argument means nothing if we lose the election. The same forces that turned California into a cautionary tale would happily do the same to the entire country given half a chance. Texas has shown us the path forward.

“This Is WW3”: Chris Bray Visits a Riot – is unimpressed
https://chrisbray.substack.
You’re not going to believe me, but wait until I’ve showed you the evidence: The anti-ICE riots aren’t an ideological threat. In some ways, they aren’t even political, and they certainly aren’t serious as organized radical violence. They constitute real criminal disorder, with significant destruction and disruption, but there’s something else brewing alongside the organized far-left activism. On Friday night, rioters attacked the federal building in Downtown Los Angeles. It was a genuinely ugly scene, and ended with arrests. There was a modest crowd pressed up against the back of the federal complex when I arrived around 6:30, out by the loading dock, but it grew as the evening went on. More about that in a minute.

Texas School Choice Program Bans Schools Tied to Chinese Communist Party and Radical Islam
https://americanjournaldaily.
Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock, Texas is writing the playbook for what “Accountable Choice” should look like. This is the kind of proactive governance we vote for, but rarely get. It’s leadership. Before a single dollar went out the door, Hancock’s office was meticulously vetting every school applying to the state’s new Education Freedom Account program. When red flags appeared, they didn’t look the other way. Paxton issued a legal opinion confirming the state’s absolute right to deny participation to any school linked to hostile foreign entities. This isn’t just about managing a program; it’s about running government like a business—a concept that would make heads in Washington, D.C. explode. It’s about protecting the taxpayer and ensuring a program meant to free our children isn’t twisted to endanger them…right on cue, the outrage machine fired up. CAIR immediately started threatening lawsuits, howling about “discrimination.” They accused Texas of targeting schools over “imagined interactions” with an organization the governor “happens to dislike.” It’s the oldest trick in the progressive playbook. When the facts expose your agenda, you scream “discrimination” and try to intimidate everyone into silence.
But this is Texas. They don’t scare easily.

‘Midtermunition’: Mamdani Is Already Trashing New York to Third-World Status
https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-
Almost a week after New York City got hit with over a foot of snow, the town of 8 million residents is still a mess. Homeless people are dying in the streets. And not only is the unplowed snow making basic transportation a challenge for city residents and visitors, but massive mountains of uncollected garbage are piling up, and Mamdani himself is a big part of the cause of the problem. You still can’t walk on most sidewalks. Buses and taxis can’t navigate major streets and avenues. Residents describe a city that’s “paralyzed,” not by the weather, but by local government’s incompetence under Mamdani. With growing heaps of trash have come armies of scavenging rats. What’s worse is this storm did not catch the Mamdani administration by surprise.

Play Civil War Games, Win Civil War Prizes: Trump Draws a Red Line for the Blue Cities
https://pjmedia.com/robert-
leftists are in favor of insurrectionists now, because the present insurrection, as opposed to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection theatre, is real, and being ginned up on their side. Trump added a pointed warning for future Renee Goods and Alex Prettis: “Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence.”… “Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, ‘PLEASE.’ Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property. We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That’s what America wants, and that’s what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” That is indeed what America wants. Let us hope that it is what America gets.
The Democrats will stop at nothing to preserve their illegal voter base.
Minnesota’s AG: Churches MUST Allow Don Lemon’s Cameras — but Mosques Need ‘Protection’
https://pjmedia.com/scott-
the attorney general of Minnesota is a Muslim man named Keith Ellison. And whattaya know, Ellison is OUTRAGED by the Trump administration’s arrest of “journalist” Don Lemon, who stormed a church with anti-ICE protesters, filmed private citizens without their consent (while on private property), wouldn’t allow the congregants to worship or leave, and terrified young children…Keith Ellison who’s now defending Don Lemon’s right to film inside a church without the consent of the congregants filed a memorandum on April 17, 2020, in federal district court, to BAN “video harassment” of religious worshippers. But not for all religious worshippers. Christians and Jews weren’t included. Ellison declared that only mosques should be spared the “harassment” of video cameras. You can read his official statement for yourself…Ellison’s press release is explicitly entitled, “Attorney General Ellison defends Minnesotans from video harassment.” but not all Minnesotans! Only Muslims, apparently.(selective reading and enforcement of the 1st Ammendment – jlr)

Today’s giggle at TDS is:
Neil Young Encounters The Most Boomer Leftist Problem Imaginablehttps://www.
In a rambling post on his website, Young details his epic struggle to ditch Verizon service, convinced that every dollar he spends fuels a “Trump Fascist regime.”…It’s peak boomer leftist TDS paranoia, where everyday consumer choices somehow morph into grand acts of resistance.
Young kicks off his diatribe with the revelation that his flip phone bears the Verizon logo. “Mornin’ folks….It’s a new day….a big day for my Flip phone. I noticed it says VERIZON on it. Of course I can’t use a Verizon phone. Verizon is a supporter of TRUMP with big $!” he writes, as if discovering a hidden swastika etched into the device.
He floats the idea of switching to T-Mobile, only to immediately shoot it down. “I’m going to see if I can just drop Verizon and move to T-Mobile,” he muses, before adding, “But wait….T-MOBILE donated to TRUMP’s Ballroom, which has gone from 200 million to 400 million suddenly. Where is that money going? There is no accounting. So T-Mobile is apparently out.”
The “ballroom” obsession is particularly unhinged; Young fixates on the White House renovation project, questioning “What favors? What companies are donating? Why?” as if uncovering a vast conspiracy.
The absurdity escalates when Young realizes he’s typing on an Apple computer. “HEY THIS IS AN APPLE COMPUTER!—— I have to stop and re-assess. No more upgrades! That feeds Apple, Apple supports ‘The Regime’ with donations,” he exclaims.
He even calls his business manager mid-rant to halt any future Apple spending, decrying CEO Tim Cook for “kissing ass” at a White House event.
Young then threatens to sue Apple if his computer stops working without upgrades, expressing a desire to cling to current versions of Pages and FaceTime because he likes them as they are and doesn’t want them to change.
It’s a hilarious snapshot of boomer tech illiteracy colliding with political zealotry—refusing modern conveniences to own the MAGA crowd.
Young ties it all back to his broader crusade, referencing a list of companies “backing the Fascist Trump Regime” on his website’s editorial page.
“One by one, I am cancelling all contact with each of them. This is not easy, but the alternative – me giving money I got from you, for my music, to the Regime that backed the illegal killings of two Americans. That can’t happen,” he declares.
Young’s rants are getting more and more loony. As we previously covered, he pulled his music from Spotify in 2022 to protest Joe Rogan’s supposed “COVID disinformation,” only to slink back two years later when the pandemic froth died down.
