New SNAP Benefits Rules in Texas
via The Texas Flyover – https://thetexasflyover.com/wednesday-april-1-2026
Approximately 3.3 million Texans enrolled in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can no longer purchase candy or sweetened drinks using their benefits.  The new restrictions, effective today, have been implemented in response to a state law passed last year and a waiver approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Texas is one of 22 states that have received a waiver to restrict the use of SNAP benefits.  “Texas is leading the way in aligning SNAP benefits with healthier food options,” Gov. Greg Abbott said last month. The new rules prohibit using benefits for candy bars, gum, and drinks that contain 5 grams or more of added sugar, or any amount of artificial sweetener.  Not everyone agrees with the changes. Lorna Ramage, deputy director of communications for the advocacy group Every Texan, said, “We worry that these changes will lead to more Texas families going hungry, all while adding an unsustainable bureaucratic burden on Texas’ small businesses.”
***(OH, the HORROR of it all! – no more energy drinks, no more Cokes et al., no more candy, YOU MUST eat healthier foods, how deaconian to force healthier choices on people receiving PUBLIC funds for food, and most of them on PUBLICLY funded health care –  jlr)

Woman Tries Getting Birth Certificate, SS Card, and Marriage License to See if Dems Are Honest – Says She Caught Them Lying Through Their Teeth
https://www.westernjournal.com/woman-tries-getting-birth-certificate-ss-card-marriage-license-see-dems-honest-says-caught-lying-teeth
One of the editors over at conservative website Twitchy decided to check just how easy it was for her to get the documents in question. And while your mileage may vary and we don’t have any proof aside from her X post last week, this is generally how it’s going to go for most people.  First, birth certificate: “Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day – total cost, $14.”  Fine, but what about a Social Security card? “Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I ‘won’t likely be asked for it.’ I went ahead and got it – took five business days to arrive – total cost, $0.”  But she’s married — and we’ve been told that if women have changed their name, they’re doomed, and “The Handmaid’s Tale” is really on!  “Went to the ‘vital docs’ site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days – total cost, $5.” Oh. “It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them”

Democrats’ HIT LIST: Subpoena Plans If They Win House
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/democrats-hit-list-subpoena-plans-if-they-win-house.html
This “political” party, and I use the term loosely, exists to destroy. They have no appetite or desire to better the country, help the American worker, or defend the homeland. They exist to destroy those who do.  A “party” in name only, bereft of purpose beyond sabotage, indifferent to the country’s welfare, the worker’s prosperity, or the nation’s defense—its defining mission is to cripple and destroy those who still pursue them.
Look for the subpoena list to include: Law firms that signed deals with President Trump. ♦ Media giants that settled. ♦ Donors to the White House ballroom. ♦ Top execs who negotiated to give the government a stake in their companies. ♦ Profit-enablers of Trump relatives or families of Cabinet members.

Judge Rules Trump Can’t Build Ballroom, Even with Private Donations, Without Outside Approval
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump must stop construction of his new White House ballroom…federal judge held that Trump lacks the authority to go forward with the $400 million project using private funds without Congressional approval. “The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!” Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in a 35-page ruling. He said that “no statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have.”…was requested by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the nonprofit organization that sued Trump to stop the ballroom construction…the plaintiff,  National Trust for Historic Preservation, as a “Radical Left Group of Lunatics whose funding was stopped by Congress in 2005.”

Wait – Boasberg Did What Now?

And thus, reluctantly, Judge Boasberg observes, “Because the relief Plaintiffs seek would not likely redress their injuries, the Court must dismiss their claims for lack of standing.”…But not without providing the plaintiffs a potential roadmap for mounting a new challenge.

Canadian Leaders Terrified ICE Will Deport People… From Canada?
https://www.westernjournal.com/canadian-leaders-terrified-ice-will-deport-people-canada/
…Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow on Thursday successfully pushed a motion in the City Council that opposes any deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents within Toronto and directs government officials to refuse assisting the agency ahead of the FIFA World Cup games…Just like in other countries, this sub-agency works with its Canadian law enforcement counterparts strictly to combat transnational crime. It does not enforce immigration law within Canada and is not even authorized to carry out independent investigations in the country, according to the very article shared by Ainslie.

The French Straw Just Broke NATO’s Back
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2026/03/31/the-french-straw-just-broke-natos-back-n2200809
Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not suggesting NATO requires its European members to join the conflict in full force. But I am suggesting they shouldn’t act like spoiled brats, closing their airspace and fretting over the use of their bases for a bombing campaign against an Islamic terrorist regime. If we can’t count on them for something that costs them essentially nothing, we won’t be able to count on them when the stakes are higher….There is no point in being in such a one-sided alliance. America pays for the lion’s share of NATO’s defense spending, all while European nations refuse to reciprocate in any real way. We don’t need France’s support if Mexico decides to invade Texas, but France needs us if Russia marches through Ukraine and into the rest of Eastern Europe.

The war on dogs
https://www.collapselife.com/p/the-war-on-dogs
A BBC lifestyle piece about whether Brits are too dog-friendly belies a bigger question: how far does a majority ‘accommodate’ before its sway stops being the default?…
On the surface, this seemingly innocent story follows a sad and now familiar pattern: ♦ Take a widely accepted norm. ♦ Introduce a small group that struggles with it. ♦ Frame that struggle as exclusion (or oppression?) ♦ Quietly shift the burden back onto the majority.
A country full of dog owners is asked, gently at first, to rethink where dogs belong. Then, soon after, it’s no longer about dogs. It’s about whose norms define the space, and who quietly has to adjust.

Gen Z are the philosophical zombies of thought experiments

We’re seeing a new kind of “person” that we’ve never seen before. Starting with young millennials, but highly characteristic of Gen Z. This new kind of person can only be described as having no personality. I mean that literally. They actually don’t have personalities. I suspect that the developmental window for most of them has closed. I suspect that they are not only not capable of forming normal personalities now, but also that they’re not capable of understanding what that is, or that there is anything unusual about them.

They have been aggressively insisting that their minority status within Islam since the 7th century is unwarranted. All of the centuries since Mohamed’s death, they are obsessed with proving that Ali, a nephew of Mohamed, was the true heir to leadership of the faith and should be recognized by Islam as such. Such is the fanatical mindset that it continues to obsess over a simple point like that for 14 centuries.

https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/scotus-the-president-and-birthright
It is going to be a legal bitch to assert in court that an Illegal Alien has more rights than an U.S. Citizen and make it stand. I believe that will be an impossibility unless the whole SCOTUS is removed and substituted with dumber clones of Justice Ketanji Brown.

Judge Rules Trump Can’t Build Ballroom, Even with Private Donations, Without Outside Approval
https://www.westernjournal.com/alert-judge-rules-trump-cant-build-ballroom-even-private-donations-without-outside-approval/
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon held that Trump lacks the authority to go forward with the $400 million project using private funds without Congressional approval. “The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!” Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in a 35-page ruling. He said that “no statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have.”

U.S. Judge Blocks Trump Administration from Terminating Parole Status for 900,000 Biden-Era Migrants
https://americanjournaldaily.com/woke-judge-trump-outrage/
A US district court judge Allison Burroughs has ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully sent mass emails to immigrants who came to the US via the CBP One app that it was time for them to “leave the United States.”…“The regulations do not give the agency unfettered discretion to terminate parole,” Burroughs claimed in the decision. “When Defendants terminated the impacted noncitizens’ parole without observing the process mandated by statute and by their own regulations, they took action that was ‘not in accordance with law.’”…Let that sink in for a moment. A single judge in Boston, Allison Burroughs, has decided she knows better than the President of the United States and the millions of Americans who elected him. This isn’t just “judicial overreach”; it’s a hijacking of our democracy in slow motion, designed to stop the America First agenda in its tracks.

Then again, if I may be so bold, allow me a piece of advice, a play of words from a famous movie:

The Gulf countries were trying to advance a resolution drafted by Bahrain in the United Nations Security Council that would allow the use of force to defend their shipping in the Strait of Hormuz…But the effort was effectively stymied on Thursday by three countries.

https://oldnfo.substack.com/p/interesting-1a3
In 2023, mothers who were unauthorized immigrants or had legal temporary status in the U.S. had 320,000 babies, representing about 9% of all 3.6 million babies born in the U.S. that year. About 260,000 of those babies would not have qualified for birthright citizenship if Trump’s executive order had already been in effect. This includes: About 245,000 babies born to mothers who were unauthorized immigrants and fathers who were not citizens or lawful permanent residents.  About 15,000 babies were born to mothers who had legal temporary status and fathers who were not citizens or lawful permanent residents

*****Of note, a significant percentage of the ‘temporary status births’ were what is called birth tourism, with many of those being Chinese. Interesting, isn’t it???
Section 1 of the 14th Amendment has been open to discussion for many years, HERE. Much of the issue revolves around the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof“ and what that really means.
IMHO, birth tourists and illegals do not meet the requirement of being subject to the jurisdiction, since they are not American, and are not in the process of being naturalized.

Oracle employees have been laid off as part of a “broader organizational change,” with data revealing that the company has looked to hire thousands of foreign workers…The federal data hub shows that Oracle America Inc. filed for 2,690 visas for fiscal year 2025, which covers Oct. 1, 2024, to Sep. 30, 2025.  At the same time, for fiscal year 2026, the company appears to have made 436 requests. If that number holds, the total through September 2026 will be 3,126.  Immigration Services says petitioners can file for H-1B visas “no more than six months before the employment start date.”  The software company, headquartered in Austin, Texas, is going through a huge transition as it prepares to back its infrastructural push toward artificial intelligence

Texas is cutting undocumented immigrants off from school, work and driving
https://www.kwtx.com/2026/04/02/texas-is-cutting-undocumented-immigrants-off-school-work-driving/
Over the last year, Texas Republicans have enacted sweeping regulatory and legal changes that have upended all facets of life for noncitizens. The state has limited who can get an occupational license; register or buy a car; obtain commercial driver’s licenses; and get in-state tuition at colleges and universities…The party that once scorned the idea of mass deportations and worked to ensure undocumented students could access higher education has now begun digging through decades of law and policy to undo benefits and services that made Texas hospitable to noncitizens.

Trump Administration Pushes for Companies to Bring Call Centers Back to America
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/trump-administration-pushes-for-companies-to-bring-call-centers-back-to-america/
… the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it had “voted to launch a new proceeding looking into the use of offshore call centers.” The agency explained that bringing call centers back to the United States would be beneficial for several reasons.  First, moving call centers overseas takes jobs away from Americans and causes “language, communication, and other barriers that make it difficult, if not impossible, for consumers to get a satisfactory resolution to their problem.” Offshore call centers also create national security issues as “bad actors working inside foreign call centers have been known to illicitly access customer data or information to advance criminal endeavors.”  As a result of these issues, the FCC is seeking comments on “actions that would encourage and facilitate the onshoring of call centers,” on “steps the FCC can take to improve the customer service and security of communications between an American and any call center that remains abroad,” and on “steps we can take to address illegal robocall scams that originate inside foreign call centers.”

Hysteria Reigns Following Hegseth’s Announcement
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/04/03/hysteria-reigns-following-hegseths-announcement-n1232104
let’s start by noting that while military bases have a fair bit of security, there have been incidents on those bases, too. We’ve seen a few active shooter scenarios pan out, for example, and one literal terrorist attack at Fort Hood, all despite the gun-free designation…Hegseth’s announcement, the military personnel we trust with heavy weapons and explosives might be able to carry a firearm on their own person just in case something happens, as well as use it in conjunction with a carry permit for the state they’re stationed in so they can be safe leaving base and running some errands or whatever.  The idea of not trusting our men and women in uniform is hardly new. It’s just disgusting that they’re trying to frame this as concern for them, rather than their innate distrust of anyone who loves their country enough to join.

Sen. Blackburn Calls for IRS Probe as Planned Parenthood Affiliate Offers Botox to Offset $100 Million Funding Loss

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte — the organization’s largest affiliate, operating 30 centers across California and Nevada — is now offering Botox injections at $9 per unit. I wish I were kidding. The nation’s most prominent abortion provider has hung out a shingle in the cosmetic aesthetics market, all while operating under a 501(c)(3) charitable tax exemption…From Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s letter to the IRS:”Let’s be clear what is actually occurring here. Planned Parenthood, in an effort to abuse its 501(c)(3) status, is appealing to the women’s beauty market after the Working Families Tax Cut Act imposed a restriction on federal Medicaid funding for tax-exempt community abortion providers. The affiliate’s own CEO, Stacy Cross, admitted to the Wall Street Journal that the pivot was about keeping “doors open” and filling an estimated $100 million revenue gap — at just that one affiliate.

Get Ready For Blue States To Demand Big Bailouts
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/04/get_ready_for_blue_states_to_demand_big_bailouts.html
Feckless blue states are spending like there is no tomorrow, but tomorrow will come, and they’ll be demanding red state money to pay their debts.
1) I begin by presenting three trends. One might even call them inevitabilities, and one might argue they’re not trends at all, but present realities that are intertwined and will tend to collapse in on each other, inevitably leading to the third inevitability.
1)The first trend is a Congress of feckless fools: our Congress does seem unable to accomplish anything of consequence, such as the SAVE America Act, which will make election fraud not necessarily impossible, but more inconvenient for the Democrat party, which arguably cannot win an election without massive fraud. A paralyzed Congress can’t even pay the Department of Homeland Security at a time when the danger of a massive terrorist attack within our shaky borders is at an all-time high. Democrats don’t care. If thousands of Americans die, they’ll blame it on Trump, with the help of their media propaganda arm.
2) The second trend is multiple blue states rocketing toward bankruptcy, with the expectation that the American people will empty their wallets to bail them out. This comes from a combination of profligate deficit spending, massive fraud funneled through Democrat NGOs and other fraudsters, and unfunded pension obligations that could bankrupt some nations.
3) When blue-state America learns its citizens’ standard of living is going to crater to pay for the preventable stupidity of people who hate them—people who will keep spending other people’s money—red states are going to secede. Even rumors of secession will be enough to drive blue states—and Congress—to mobilize against red states. It won’t be for a noble cause like abolishing slavery. It will be to seize the money and property of fiscally responsible Americans. They, like all socialists, will want to make everybody poor and miserable. Red-state Americans aren’t going to go for that, and our military, our police, federal agents—the works—will have to choose sides. It won’t work out the way Democrats think.
Are you beginning to see trends falling in on each other, leading to a crisis that’s becoming easier to imagine?
What crisis? A second civil war.

NY Dem. sponsors bill to deforest 11,000 acres of an important ecosystem for wind and solar—against the wishes of the locals
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/04/ny_dem_sponsors_bill_to_deforest_11_000_acres_of_an_important_ecosystem_for_wind_and_solar_against_the_wishes_of_the_locals.html
There’s a new bill working its way through New York’s state senate, which would open up around 11,000 acres of a crucial, forested ecosystem around the Finger Lakes to be razed for wind turbines and solar panels. Sponsored by Democrat Rachel May, the bill would reportedly not require approval from the county or town governing boards, and definitely not the people who live there. May’s bill actually opens up hundreds of thousands of acres of protected lands to corporate purchase for “renewable energy developers”—which means this wouldn’t just happen in the Finger Lakes, a watershed that happens to provide fresh drinking water to more than 2 million people in the state, but in protected landscapes all across the great state of New York. What would the ramifications be for the thriving fish populations, which draw fishermen from all over New England? What will this mean for wildlife? Local farmers? People who use the lakes in any number of recreational ways? I’m also going to go out on a limb here and speculate that these ‘yes’ votes probably have some of their portfolio tied up in the same “renewable energy developers” who stand to make a killing.

A left-wing outlet says that immigrant sexual assaults are a good thing
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/04/a_left_wing_outlet_says_that_immigrant_sexual_assaults_are_a_good_thing.html
thought I was watching a hoax come to life when I saw the tweets show up on my X feed. Conservative commentators were sharing an image. At the top was a large black-and-white photograph of an endless line of African and Middle Eastern men (and one lone woman). The setting, clearly, is Europe. At the bottom left of the photograph, in a little yellow button, is the word “love.” And underneath is this headline: “Why a ‘rise in sexual assaults’ by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism.”
AFRU argues that sexual assaults will lead to the end of racism—if they’re against white women who then embrace the romance of the thing.

Ships Making It Through Strait Raise Another Big Question on France, May Expose Cracks in Iran Effort
https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/04/03/some-ships-make-it-through-strait-including-france-n2200938
We reported on Thursday about a United Nations Security Council resolution, designed to try to ensure safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The resolution from Bahrain: “[A]uthorizes member States, acting nationally or through voluntary multinational naval partnerships, with advance notifications to the Security Council,” to use all necessary means “to secure transit passage and to deter attempts to close, obstruct or otherwise interfere with international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.” But three countries reportedly blocked the effort.: Russia, China, and France. Russia and China are predictable. But France? They’re supposed to be a NATO ally, and they’re going to block the use of all possible means to deal with the Iranian terrorist regime? That’s pretty weaselly. But it may get worse. Now comes word that some more ships made it through the Strait. Among them were ships linked to Japan, Oman, and…you guessed it…France.

White House Lays Out New Press Corps Guidelines on ‘Restricted Areas,’ It Appears for Good Reason

…the White House has announced through a memo released Friday, with new rules on access to the office of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt–something that seems to already be angering the legacy media.
via Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh – The Trump administration has just BANNED reporters from a part of the White House after several members of the media were caught “secretly recording video and audio,” and taking photos of SENSITIVE INFORMATION without permission. Reporters have also spied on private, closed-door meetings and wandered into restricted areas near the Oval Office, and have been seen “ambushing” Cabinet officials after private meetings.

Today’s bifecta in the Hegseth-hate and lab-rat category goes to the Huffington Post. This isn’t all that shocking for an outlet that was founded by progressive harpy Ariana Huffington, who also gained fame by driving her husband to embrace the gay lifestyle…here is literally no way Catholic and Protestant worship on Good Friday even vaguely resembles one another. The only thing nefarious here was the cheap shot taken at Pete Hegseth. What is so shocking about this is that I can’t imagine even in a secular craphole like the editorial spaces of the Huffington Post that someone didn’t read this, know the reason why the service was Protestant only, and said, “What the hell, yeah, it’s bullsh but it’s about Hegseth, run it anyway.”

Seattle’s new mayor has the most radical tax plan imaginable
https://www.theblaze.com/shows/the-glenn-beck-program/seattles-new-mayor-has-the-most-radical-tax-plan-imaginable
This “intentional destruction” has come in the form of a new tax being imposed in Seattle. “You make over a million dollars, … 9.9% extra tax,”…
“You feel like a criminal if you’re going to run a business. You feel, you know the city is against you, and the state is against you. Even now, Seattle businesses face one of the country’s most aggressive business and occupation taxes,”… regulations caused businesses to leave, and in turn the city decided to start taxing owners of vacant buildings on top of their already steep taxes. When companies noticed these insane regulations, they understandably chose to take their business elsewhere. “The employees all followed; the buildings emptied out,” Now, residents are trying to sell their homes — and they’re getting taxed for it. “Instead of asking why companies are leaving,” “city leaders ask a different question entirely. How do we punish the people creating jobs? How can we make their life even harder?”

FDNY HQ DEFILED: Muslim Prayer Rugs Spread Over Names of 343 9/11 Heroes Slain by Islamic Terror

FDNY headquarters defiled. Muslim prayer rugs, dozens, laid right in front of the 9/11 memorial plaque honoring 343 firefighters murdered by Islamists.
Prayer rugs over 9/11 heroes’ names while Mamdani smiles. Brazen disrespect. They hate you. Wake up.
Just to be clear, the attacks on 9/11 were in the cause of Islam. No amount of obfuscation, disassembling or outright deceit can change that awful truth. The jihadis’ last letters have all but been scrubbed from the public record. Read the “martyrdom” letters left by the Muslim terrorists.(https://gellerreport.com/2013/09/the-last-letters-of-the-911-muslim-terrorists-remind-your-brothers-that-this-act-is-for-almighty-all.html/) Allah is mentioned over ninety times. “Remind your brothers that this act is for Almighty Allah,” done for the cause of advancing Islam.
There’s a hair-trigger sensitivity in the muslim world, you can’t run the cartoons, you can’t say Mohammed, you can’t criticize jihad or sharia. We are warned, scolded, and threatened to respect Islam. But there is no reciprocity in Islam. There is no mutual respect.

Apparently, being demonic terrorists and evil people is just their culture, and it is Islamophobic to object to Muslims destroying civilization…A Jewish community in London was providing ambulance services to supplement the wildly understaffed National Health Service, whose own service is so understaffed and overburdened that people are dying waiting for ambulances. The ambulances were set on fire, destroying them just because they were owned by Jews. What was London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s reaction? After the obligatory blah blah blah about how hate is bad, he immediately does the inevitable “Muslims are the real victims here, you know” shtick…Many Muslims, in isolation, can indeed be splendid people. But as a group, Muslims are poison for Western Civilization. Imams throughout the West preach conquest, and many of their followers are serious about driving non-Muslims out of power and out of society itself…When Zohran Mamdani was campaigning for Mayor, he made appearances at a Mosque and campaigned with an Imam who was an unindicted co-conspirator with the 9/11 hijackers. His wife supports Hamas, illustrates wildly antisemitic books, and has expressed support for terrorism. He won and has brought Islam straight into the Mayor’s office. And any time people criticize him, the response is “Islamophobia.”

Finland’s Military Preparations Sound Awfully Old-School American
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/03/23/finlands-military-preparations-sound-awfully-old-school-american-n1231961
What the Founding Fathers envisioned was a militia system where men would respond to the call, complete with their own guns and equipment, and would meet whatever threats we faced. That’s not how it works today, of course. The organized militia has been replaced with the National Guard, though the unorganized militia is still a thing, and those of us who make it up have our own weapons and gear. In Finland, a nation that reflects American gun culture more than most places in the world, it seems to be echoing that old-school militia mindset as they adjust to the changing military landscape that’s unfolded since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine…I love the fact that Finland is talking about people having guns suitable for military purposes and how they’ll be welcomed when one reports for duty. Let’s contrast that with how we have people here saying that we have no business with firearms suitable for military use…one thing we see is that when a nation is under threat, suddenly gun control goes out the window. When you’re worried about the enemy at your gates, what you want are as many guns as you can get. Ukraine practically handed out guns before Russia invaded, despite having gun control on the books beforehand.

Wilkins faces up to 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release, and will be sentenced after the completion of a presentence investigative report by the U.S. Probation Office…earlier this very month, two other malevolent harpies achieved federal felon status at the hands of a California jury, no less. According to evidence presented at a four-day trial, on August 28, 2025, the defendants – while dressed in black and concealing their faces with black masks – followed the victim from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his personal residence. The victim was heading home to his family for an outing that included a surprise for his sons, ages three and seven. A jury found Coloradoan Ashleigh Brown and Californian Cynthia Raygoza guilty of felony stalking March 2 for following an ICE officer home in Los Angeles and livestreaming their pursuit on social media. Upon arriving at the victim’s neighborhood, the two shouted to bystanders while livestreaming on Instagram that their “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.” Raygoza also threatened to “pop” the victim. The victim’s wife and a concerned neighbor called 911 in response to the defendants’ actions…The days of wrathful women imagining themselves to be some sort of noble instruments of righteous justice are over. The truth is that they are uncommon criminals — facing federal charges — and unstable losers.

Democrats Have Already Killed the Filibuster
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/democrats-have-already-killed-the-filibuster/
Senate Republicans are currently debating whether to use a “talking filibuster” to pass the SAVE America Act. But while some in the GOP are worried about preserving the Senate’s long-standing rule requiring 60 votes to pass most legislation, Democrats have already signed its death warrant. Democrats are effectively weaponizing the filibuster to exercise a legislative veto over the executive branch enforcing the law in a manner that a majority of the American public voted for just 16 months ago. This is a new precedent that has opened the door to mass chaos in the future.

Cheap Meat
https://vineofliberty.com/2026/03/24/cheap-meat/
Ground beef, which I used to get for $1.19 a pound, is now almost $5 a pound for the cheap stuff, and closer to $10 a pound if I want the really good stuff…I can sometimes find roasts at $3.99 a pound, which I consider reasonable. But the price of beef is going up, and it isn’t going to come down for a while…Why is beef expensive? Well, we have a very small national herd at the moment (historically so)…………

Chaos, Walkouts, and 95% Failure Rates: The Case Against the TSA Is Now Undeniable – Why the Democrat Funding Freeze Should Be the TSA’s Last Act
https://newsletter.amuseonx.com/p/chaos-walkouts-and-95-failure-rates
In Dante’s Inferno, the eighth circle is reserved for fraud, and if Dante were sketching his map of Hell today, the Transportation Security Administration would deserve its own sub-basement. But the argument against the TSA has never been more viscerally obvious than it is right now, in the spring of 2026, as hundreds of agents walk off the job, four-hour security lines snake through America’s airports, and a charity that normally feeds war zones is delivering free meals to unpaid federal screeners at our nation’s terminals. We have arrived, at last, at the logical endpoint of a twenty-five-year experiment in bureaucratic security theater. The experiment has failed. The question is whether we have the political will to admit it.

Cali Senator Scott Wiener Spreads Misinformation About ICE Arrest at SFO, Falsely Linking It to TSA Deployment
https://istandforfreedom.com/senator-wiener-misinformation-ice/
California State Senator Scott Wiene posted a a video that he claimed showed ICE agents “terrorizing a mother” at San Francisco International Airport. The footage spread like wildfire across leftist social media, complete with a wailing child and righteous bystanders attempting to shame federal agents for doing their jobs. The video had all the ingredients progressives crave; a sympathetic victim, a crying daughter, agents who could be painted as jackbooted thugs. But as with so many of these carefully curated outrage moments, the narrative collapsed under the weight of a single stubborn obstacle: the truth. The arrest occurred on March 22nd. ICE officers weren’t deployed to airports until March 23rd. Wiener’s entire premise, that this was somehow connected to the new TSA assistance program, was pure fiction.

Champagne Socialists Party It Up in Cuba While Populace Plunged In Darkness
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/champagne-socialists-party-it-up-in-cuba-while-populace-plunged-in-darkness.html/
This is straight out of Orwell’s Animal farm -“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Trust fund babies partied until dawn as the entire island of Cuba was plunged into darkness with yet another grid collapse. Socialists from the US and Europe put on a concert in Cuba, just as the country was plunged into its third blackout this month, Saturday. A convoy of socialists — including streamer Hasan Piker, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, members of Code Pink, and lefty Irish hip-hop group Kneecap — is in Cuba with the goal of supporting Cuba’s oppressive communist regime. But Piker and others have been dogged by criticism for staying in a 5-star hotel in Havana, and Kneecap played a concert in the capital city as the rest of the nation of 11 million people faced yet another major blackout.

Almost every hurricane we went through in Miami had this rifle standing near me, and used only once. No bullets flew, but a trio of “yutes” decided to change their intentions and leave the area when they saw the silhouette of an object known across the world as a deliverer of final notices or painful and long-lasting consequences. I paid a grand total of $350, which included 2 mags and the background check. It amazes me that now I can probably walk into a gun show and have somebody offer me up to $1K for it.

TDS Runs the Democrat Party
https://redstate.com/adam-turner/2026/03/24/tds-runs-the-democrat-party-n2200528
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) recently said, in response to the question of “who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?”. “I think the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) that — I think that’s the leader right now. You know, right now our party, is, is governed by the TDS, and now it’s made it virtually impossible, without being punished, as a Democrat, to agree something’s good, or ‘I agree with the other side,’ and I would define that by [Operation] Epic Fury.” Sen. Fetterman gets it.
just to guard against confirmation bias, I looked to other prominent Democrats to see what they thought. Which brought me to the “Ragin’ Cajun,” James Carville, who is exceedingly “ragin” these days “You’re right, I got Trump Derangement Syndrome. I hate the motherfker. And you know what? I don’t wanna get rid of it. I don’t wanna get better. I wanna get worse. I wanna hate him more. I pray to God in heaven… Pray for me, Lord. I’m your vessel on this earth. Pray for the people that listen to this. We want more. We wanna hate the son of a bch so much that we can’t see straight!”. Carville also spoke for many other Democrat TDS sufferers to vow unrelenting jihad against the sitting president:

BALLOT BOMBSHELL: 45,800 More Votes Counted Than Cast in California County in Massive Election Fraud Investigation
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/ballot-bombshell-45800-more-votes-counted-than-cast-in-california-county-in-massive-election-fraud-investigation.html/
45,800. That’s how many more ballots were counted than were cast in Riverside, California. Let that sink in. If tens of thousands of ballots can appear out of nowhere in a single county, how many elections—local, state, even federal—have been compromised? How many outcomes were decided not by voters, but by a broken system no one wants to examine? Passing the SAVE Act isn’t optional. It’s urgent. It’s the bare minimum to start restoring order to an election system that’s spiraling out of control.

Desperate Cover-Up? Dem AG Files Emergency Writ to Halt Recount of Seized Ballots in Newsom-Backed Scheme

Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta has reportedly filed an emergency writ with the Court of Appeals to halt Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco’s audit of a staggering 45,896-vote ballot discrepancy from last year’s special election on Governor Gavin Newsom’s controversial Proposition 50 redistricting scheme. Why the desperate Hail Mary to block transparency on an effort to explain how officials certified 657,322 votes in a county where only 611,428 ballots were actually cast? That’s a massive gap in numbers. And you’d think the top law enforcement officer in the state would be somewhat curious as to how that might have happened.

Of course, Iran’s leaders reject the U.S proposal for a peace agreement. Iran’s leaders perceive diplomatic attempts to end this war as weakness and desperation. And Iran responded with ridiculous demands of their own, which include war reparations, sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and guarantees against future strikes. We will have to see how these negotiations play out. However, it seems very unlikely that there is a diplomatic solution to ending this war. Furthermore, any deal that is signed with Iran will be ripped to shreds after President Trump leaves office. Force is the only language Iran’s leaders understand.

“Iran’s attack on Gulf allies of the United States and Jordan is an attack on the entire world and the world economy,”…”Effectively, Iran is trying to give the global economy a heart attack,” she said…The question is why. The answer is because we are an idea that threatens Iran. Because we are open, we are progressive, we are tolerant, we’re a vibrant economy…”We should not allow Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, to set the global price for food and gas.” That’s why President Donald Trump was calling for a coalition. Not because we couldn’t handle it, but because it’s a world concern, and others have much greater interests in the Strait than does the U.S…We have now seen Iran take the irresponsible decision instead of negotiating with the United States… they chose instead to fire over 2,200 missiles and drones at the United Arab Emirates, a peacemaker in the region…”The UAE has fought side by side with the United States in over six coalitions in our history. We have shared values, we have shared history with the United States. We have interoperability with the United States. They are a clear partner to us in regional security, and we intend to double down on that. Today we are looking at a threat to the international community at large that needs to be stopped in whatever way possible.”…while they always favor a diplomatic option, Iran needed to understand that behaving as a rogue actor was not acceptable. Iran isn’t going to like this, and this blows up any narrative that the UAE would be breaking away from the U.S.

A new study from The Wall Street Journal reveals just how polarized states are becoming on tax policy. “Republican-led states are racing each other to flatten, cut and eliminate individual income taxes, with 23 states lowering their top income-tax rates since 2021,” the Journal reports. “Democratic-controlled states are moving the opposite way, pushing to increase taxes on top earners to combat inequality and plug budget holes.”

Top Democrat Faces Rare House Ethics Hearing Over Alleged $5 Million FEMA Fund Theft
https://istandforfreedom.com/democrat-house-hearing-theft/
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Florida Democrat facing a staggering 27-count statement of alleged violations. Federal prosecutors claim she and her brother stole more than $5 million in FEMA disaster relief funds—money intended for COVID-19 vaccine distribution—and laundered it through their family healthcare company to finance her 2021 congressional campaign and purchase luxury items, including a large diamond ring… the first public House Ethics Committee hearing against a sitting lawmaker since 2010. The proceeding could end a congressional career, or it could expose the very double standards that fuel voter cynicism.

Trump-deranged James Carville claims president not ‘tough enough’ to finish term

Democratic strategist James Carville(81) theorized that President Donald Trump would resign after the midterms due to a lack of physical and mental capabilities during a Thursday episode of “Politics War Room.” Carville, who has admitted that he has “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” has repeatedly become erratic when criticizing the president during his second term. The Democratic strategist predicted on his podcast that Republicans would lose both chambers of Congress and that Trump would not be “tough” enough to finish his term.

NSA Intercepts Show Ukraine Officials Discussing Laundering US Tax Dollars to Biden’s Campaign

American intelligence agencies reportedly intercepted some jaw-dropping Ukrainian government communications in late 2022 that show officials openly discussing using supposed clean-energy infrastructure projects as cover to divert hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars. The plan, according to a report summarizing the intercepts obtained by Just the News, was to route roughly 90% of that money, funneled through U.S. companies and sketchy subcontractors with hard-to-track contracts, straight to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to bankroll Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign. Ukrainian officials were reportedly coordinating with unspecified U.S. Government personnel through USAID in Kyiv as part of the brazen scheme.

It was exactly two years ago today that a cargo ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to catch fire and collapse. President Joe Biden recalled crossing the bridge “many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car,” even though the bridge had no rail system. Demolition work on the Key Bridge finally began on July 8, 2025. Now, on the second anniversary of the bridge collapse, let check on the progress in rebuilding it…Initial cost projection: $1.7 billion – Updated cost projection: $5.2 billion – Opening day moved from 2028 to 2030

“The Fellowship of the Ring” was released in 2001, but times have apparently changed more than we realized. According to Comic Book Review, a lot of Peter Jackson’s trilogy is hard to watch through a modern lens. (https://www.cbr.com/8-reasons-tough-watch-the-lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-today/)
Saying that Tolkien belonged to a different era is a blame-deflecting argument used in defense of the author’s borderline-colonial gaze.
While all the Elves are compassionate at heart, they clearly represent white characters.
The Rings of Power tried to subvert this with Arondir, a tactic that failed because it came far too late in the franchise.
In fact, even the Dwarves, Hobbits, and Men are entirely white in The Lord of the Rings.

Supreme Court 9–0 Decision Changes Guns in Cars Forever
The case is called Case versus Montana. It was decided on January 14th, 2026 by the United States Supreme Court…welfare checks are increasingly the front door to gun seizures in America. Here’s what I mean. Someone calls 911 and says they are worried about you, police come to do a welfare check. Under this ruling, if they see an empty holster, if they know you own guns, if your behavior seems strange based on what someone told them, they now have more tools to justify entering your space without a warrant. And the moment they enter and see a firearm, the situation changes completely.

What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.

Tom Homan just revealed the dark secret inside Biden’s immigration scam…
https://revolver.news/2026/03/update-tom-homan-just-revealed-the-dark-secret-inside-bidens-immigration-scam/
if they placed them in ICE beds, the illegals would have a mandatory court date in about a month. So, to make sure that didn’t happen, Homan says the Biden regime placed them in hotels so they stayed in the dark and could move into our communities unnoticed. Taxpayers foot the bill for fancy hotels while the government avoided ICE beds that would’ve triggered hearings and accountability. So when people look at this and start asking whether the whole thing was designed to flood the country, they’re not crazy. Tom Homan just proved that. The better, safer, cheaper option was there, but the Biden regime took a pass on it. And the only logical reason to do that is because you want people released into the country that are not easy to reach, while the taxpayer picks up the tab. What makes this even more disgusting is that Dems didn’t always talk this way. Not that long ago, even Barack Obama was saying the kind of thing today’s left would call “racist” and “hateful.” The left’s position changed when mass immigration stopped being a problem and started being a political asset. But once open-border chaos became the key to their new voter bloc, all the old common sense was tossed out the window. Chuck now wants his 10 million new voters. Obviously, we weren’t supposed to see how the sausage was made. But now we have the recipe. The costs, the incentives, the cover-up stories, and, of course, the endgame. They tried to destroy the country to maintain political power. The American people are going to want accountability, but will they get it?

Illegal voting is not that “rare”
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/03/illegal_voting_is_not_that_rare.html
The evidence on illegal voting is thin — but not because it doesn’t exist. It’s thin because it’s rarely sought. Election officials don’t audit citizenship status systematically. States rely mainly on self-attestation, assuming honesty in the absence of meaningful verification. It’s a system built on trust, not proof…Confidence in democracy depends on verification, not denial. The SAVE Act doesn’t restrict voting — it restores integrity. The right to vote belongs only to citizens. Given the patchwork of state regulations, this duty must fall on the federal government to ensure it does.

She makes this clear in the context of a discussion of the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Will the Army take action? Or would doing anything to call Brewer to account be “Islamophobic”? So what happens now? Will Brewer remain in the military? Will Secretary of War Pete Hegseth deal with the issue of the divided loyalty of Muslims in the military? Or will this ongoing problem continue to be ignored?

Recd from Texas:

Fellow Texan,

Last week, the U.S. Treasury quietly released numbers that should’ve been front-page news everywhere. They weren’t. Let me tell you what they said—and what it means for Texas.

The Federal Government Just Admitted It’s Mathematically Destroyed

The Treasury’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025 show $6.06 trillion in assets against $47.78 trillion in liabilities. That’s a negative net position of $41.72 trillion—and it got $2 trillion worse in a single year.

But that’s just what’s on the books. Add in the off-balance-sheet obligations—unfunded liabilities for Social Security and Medicare—and you get another $88.4 trillion. Total federal obligations: $136.2 trillion. That’s roughly five times the entire annual economic output of the United States.

The Government Accountability Office, for the twenty-ninth consecutive year, couldn’t certify that the federal government’s books were accurate. Twenty-nine years without a clean audit. The Department of Defense still can’t account for its own spending. This is the government that presumes to manage Texas’s future.

What this means: Texas doesn’t need permission to build a solvent future. We need the political will to stop being dragged down with a sinking ship.

Read the full story: The U.S. Government Just Admitted It’s Broke. Nobody Noticed.

And No, Texas Doesn’t Owe Them a Dime

Right on cue, the critics deploy their favorite fear tactic whenever independence comes up: “But what about Texas’s share of the national debt?” This myth has been weaponized to make Texans feel trapped.

Here’s what international law actually says: newly independent states have no automatic obligation to assume predecessor state debt. This isn’t theory—it’s been tested for two centuries. When Belgium declared independence from the Netherlands in 1830, they refused to pay Dutch debt. Result? Belgium retained zero obligation and became a thriving, creditworthy nation. When Ireland gained independence, Britain demanded they assume proportional Imperial debt. Ireland’s negotiators argued the debt resulted from Britain buying weapons to suppress the Irish. The final settlement? One pound.

Texas holds an even stronger position. Unlike territories that were net recipients of imperial spending, Texas has been a donor state for decades—paying more into the federal system than we receive back. We don’t owe them. They owe us.

What this means: The debt myth is psychological warfare designed to keep Texans in line. International precedent and law say otherwise.

Washington Can’t Deliver Your Mail. Texas Isn’t Allowed To.

Every independent nation on Earth delivers its own mail. Barbados does it. Slovenia does it. Iceland, with an economy smaller than Lubbock’s, does it. Texas—with a $2.9 trillion economy, 23 seaports, and three stock exchanges—cannot move a letter from Houston to Dallas without permission from Congress.

This week, Postmaster General David Steiner told lawmakers that USPS will run out of cash in less than twelve months. The agency lost $9 billion last year and another $9.5 billion the year before. Mail volume has collapsed. They’ve maxed out their $15 billion borrowing cap—a ceiling Congress hasn’t raised since 1992.

Congress built the agency. Congress imposed the mandates. Congress created the regulator. Congress capped the borrowing. And now Congress can’t agree on how to fix what Congress broke. Meanwhile, Texas leads the nation in exports, moves over $440 billion in goods annually, and has world-class logistics infrastructure. But we can’t deliver a letter across town.

What this means: This is what dependency looks like. A system Texas didn’t build, can’t fix, and isn’t allowed to replace—even as it collapses.

Taking the Declaration at Its Word

I spoke at the Abbeville Institute Conference in Montgomery last week on the topic of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. My message was simple: the United States is about to throw the most expensive birthday party in history for a breakup letter—and then call anyone who reads it out loud a radical.

They’ll celebrate the right of self-determination on the Fourth of July. And they’ll call it treason on the Fifth.

The real Declaration doesn’t end with “all men are created equal.” It ends with thirteen “free and independent States.” Plural. That word does a lot of heavy lifting that the proposition nation crowd would rather you not think about. The founders didn’t create a document about abstract equality—they signed a political act declaring thirteen distinct communities’ right to self-governance. That’s what we’re doing in Texas. Same principle. Same right.

What this means: The spirit of 1776 didn’t expire. And it applies to Texans today every bit as much as it applied to colonists then.

Read the full story: Taking the Declaration at Its Word and Scaring the Hell Out of the Political Establishment

The numbers don’t lie. The federal system is collapsing under its own weight. The only question is whether Texas goes down with it—or builds something better. Join the Texans who’ve decided to build.

Join the Movement

We’re not waiting for Washington to fix itself. That ship has sailed—and sunk. Texas has the economy, the infrastructure, and the people to chart our own course. All that’s left is the will to do it.

Republic of Somaliland Asks U.S. to Extradite Ilhan Omar There to Face Justice

After official confirmation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) did, in fact, commit immigration fraud, the Republic of Somaliland — which has good reason to be bitter at the crimes of Omar and her Somali family — offered to be the hammer of justice if the United States would extradite Omar there.  The tantalizing offer comes after Vice President JD Vance confirmed on Benny Johnson’s show what many of us have thought of Omar for a long time — there is, in fact, solid evidence that the radical Islamist member of Congress committed immigration fraud. “We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” Vance stated.

Clean. No extras. Nearly every Democrat voted it down. The measure failed in the Senate on Thursday, despite Chuck Schumer saying days earlier his party wasn’t against voter ID. So much for their lies . When it came time to act, they killed the very standard they claimed to support. The party of election fraud will never pass election integrity legislation.

The Home-Grown Shahed Drone Threat to America
https://steelcutter.substack.com/p/the-home-grown-shahed-drone-threat
First, watch this very short video: “Launching Shahed-type drones from a moving pickup truck.” (So there is no need for rocket assisted launching)(https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6mJ2ZtXqV3U)
Folks, we are going to see this attack vector spread around the world, including in the United States. The Iranians invented and developed the small attack drone niche, the Russians copied it with their Gerans, and now even the USA is belatedly copying it with the Lucas. But the most important point is that ANYBODY can make these in a garage. The plans are so basic any competent hobbyist can produce them. Two fiberglass shells, top and bottom, other parts that are not difficult to fabricate, a small gasoline engine and a prop in the back. Steer it with a camera in the nose by Starlink plus GPS or other means…what I project: disaffected migrants or foreign agents currently in the USA and other countries can easily set up shop and produce a dozen or more home-made Shahed-type drones…We may see critical infrastructure attacked with home-built Shahed type drones. I don’t see how we prevent this. Going back to our gas liquefaction plants, I’m sure there are people who are thinking, “Why should America make out like bandits by selling expensive LNG to the world, after they wrecked the global economy on February 28 with their sneak attack war of choice on Iran?”…Between internal sabotage and drone strikes, we should expect attacks on our critical infrastructure such as oil refineries, fuel tank farms, chemical plants and LNG liquefaction plants

AlertsUSA Threat Journal
https://www.threatjournal.com/archive/tj03282026.html
On Sunday, March 22, AlertsUSA subscribers were informed that the State Department had issued an updated Worldwide Caution urging Americans everywhere, and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution amid heightened risks from groups supportive of Iran. It explicitly states that “U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted” and that “Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world.”
This warning comes amid direct U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iran launched in late February. These strikes targeted Iranian ballistic missiles, nuclear infrastructure, naval assets, and command nodes. Iran has responded in part by activating its longstanding proxy network—the so-called “Axis of Resistance.”

Epicenter of Violence: Iraq
The epicenter of current proxy violence is Iraq. Iran-backed Shia militias embedded in the Popular Mobilization Forces have launched hundreds of drone, rocket, and missile attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities since February 28. Multiple arms of Hezbollah, along with various front organizations, have repeatedly struck the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center at the airport, Erbil International Airport, U.S.-linked bases, hotels housing American personnel, and even U.S.-operated energy infrastructure in Basra and Kurdistan.
These militias, armed, trained, and directed by Iran’s IRGC Quds Force, have conducted over 180 attacks on U.S. positions in the region in prior cycles alone. The current surge mirrors that intensity.

Expanding Regional Threats
Beyond Iraq, the threat radiates outward. Hezbollah in Lebanon retains global reach through criminal networks and narco-trafficking from Mexico and Latin America into the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The group has conducted reconnaissance and assassination plots against Jewish and U.S. targets worldwide for decades.
Yemen’s Houthis, despite U.S. strikes in 2024-2025, retain missile and drone stockpiles supplied by Iran. They have previously demonstrated the ability to disrupt global shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. On Friday, a Houthi military spokesman stated that they have their “fingers on the trigger” as the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran widens, and they are ready for direct military intervention if more countries join the war against Iran or if the Red Sea is used to launch attacks.
The global dimension of this conflict stems from Iran’s hybrid playbook: covert operatives, criminal surrogates, sleeper cells, and cyber units. Pro-Iran hackers have already hit U.S. medical and defense contractors, water plants, and regional data centers since the war began and are likely probing for disruptive follow-on operations.

Ushering in the Hidden Imam
Readers would do well to remember who we are up against in this war.
There are two main sects in Islam: Sunni and Shia. Shia Muslims are primarily concentrated in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Bahrain, while Sunnis make up the majority of the remaining Muslim world.
Iran’s Shia regime, particularly the extremist “Twelver” variety that dominates the IRGC and hardline clergy, are gripped by a fanatical eschatology centered on the return of the so-called Hidden Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, the twelfth and final successor to the prophet Muhammad who died in 632 AD. Adherents insist the Mahdi will only appear amid maximum global chaos and apocalyptic upheaval, when the world is drenched in the blood of infidels.
The true fanaticism lies in the interpretation of Twelver eschatology promoted by Iran’s regime: the belief that instead of waiting for divine gears to turn on their own, it is their sacred duty to actively hasten the Mahdi’s arrival by manufacturing the required hellscape through relentless jihad, martyrdom operations, proxy wars, and the deliberate provocation of Armageddon.
Thus, chaos is not a risk—it is the fuel. Martyrdom is not a tragedy—it is acceleration. This is not fringe mysticism within the IRGC power structure. It is the doctrinal engine that glorifies suicide attacks, human slaughter, and nuclear brinkmanship as holy prerequisites for the Mahdi’s return.

A Deadly and Persistent Threat
For American citizens, diplomats, businesses, and travelers, the risk is not abstract. Hotels, commercial aircraft, shipping lanes, energy facilities, and soft targets linked to the U.S. are now in play. The new Worldwide Caution is not alarmism. It is a clear recognition that Iran’s preferred method of war (proxy terrorism with global reach) has been activated in response to direct strikes on their homeland. The threat is persistent, adaptive, and calibrated to impose costs.

Left unchecked, this would be the thin end of the wedge whereby a theological, political, trans-national supremacist movement with all of its doctrinally inspired ferocious hatreds encompassing misogyny, death to homosexuals and sanctioned prejudice against non-Muslims would reign supreme in an oppressive atmosphere diametrically and militantly opposed to every democratic and liberal ideal cherished and practiced by all civilized countries in the West. Islam’s modus operandi is as follows: when Muslims are in a minority in countries to which they have migrated they claim Islam is a religion of peace. Once their numbers increase they start to agitate for considerations unavailable to non-Muslims in those countries under the guise of obtaining civil liberties. When they gain power it’s, “Do as we say or we will kill you.” That is how a country loses its culture, its values and its traditions.

A new kind of “personality” – not having one
https://disaffectedpod.substack.com/p/a-new-kind-of-personality
So many things about the 2020s are new under the sun. Really. We’re seeing people behave in ways that we’ve never seen before in prior generations, and it’s not merely the normal changing of fashion and culture. It’s an abrupt introduction of the just plain weird. It’s not gradual, either. One generation’s music, culture, slang, and manner isn’t shading into the next generation’s as has always been the case until now. Instead, smart phone “culture” has acted like an old-school IBM mainframe that sends out the same code to every green-text-on-black-screen dummy terminal. The dummy terminals are Gen Z young people. No, of course not all, and most certainly not your children (so stop yourself from leaving that comment that I’ll delete). But yes, identifiably widespread among that specific generation.
*
These “kids” don’t have personalities. I mean this plainly without hyperbole. They do not have distinct personalities the way people used to. They all sound the same because they are the same. They’re running entirely on programming that substitutes its terminology, phrases, and body movements for what used to be an individuated human personality.
*
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s daughter, Hope, is a good example. Here she is apparently talking about the No Kings protests. I say “apparently,” because she is not actually talking about anything. Listen to her words. If you like, transcribe a few sentences, then read them back. Does that read like thought? Was there any discernible message? She does not have a personality, and she doesn’t have thoughts. She has a collection of affectations, all on-brand. Stilted, halting pronunciation. Eyes that flick around all over the place. Hand movements. Poses. Forced pitch intonation shifts? to make? every statement? sound like a question? like a kindergarten teacher would ask it?

According to Google, Terminal ballistics is the study of a projectile’s behavior upon striking, penetrating, and interacting with a target, focusing on energy transfer, bullet expansion, and damage mechanics. It basically explains how come a itty bitty peace of pliable metal can do damage and the simple answer is speed…The rear of the car is now not so neatly folded inside the vehicle alongside the motorcycle. Most of the bike is inside the car and it injured a woman inside gravely. I have seen lots of videos of bikes rear ending cars at low speeds, both the car and the humans involved walking away from the accident. That both car occupants survived somehow is a plain miracle.

Part of the family fled to the United Kingdom, while Ilhan Omar and others entered the United States under their father’s assumed name, “Omar.” These name changes and split identities were used to conceal the father’s true war crimes and identity.

Many people remember the exact moment when ‘things’ didn’t quite add up — what they saw, read and what they ‘knew’ were somehow at odds with each other. Maybe it was COVID, or 9/11, or the war on terror, or the Great Financial Crisis… for some, it could have been well before that. Still, at some point these folks stopped believing the official story and started questioning things once unquestionable. They started reading different sources and noticing patterns. They left what David A. Hughes calls “camp one” — the world of official narratives.

Iran’s 2,300-Mile Big Lie Just Exploded: Missiles Fired at Diego Garcia, Thousands of Miles From Tehran

“Iran is not a threat.” Iran just fired missiles at Diego Garcia – 2,361 miles from Tehran. They were not supposed to have this range.
Surprise, surprise, Iran lied! Tehran to London 2750 miles – Tehran to Paris 2610 miles – Tehran to Berlin 2200 miles
Iran just proved it can strike over 2,300 miles—hitting Diego Garcia with missiles it insisted didn’t exist. This wasn’t a test. It was a revelation…Iran just launched missiles at Diego Garcia—more than 2,300 miles from Tehran—demonstrating a strike range it was never supposed to possess. For years, its capabilities were downplayed or deliberately obscured. Now the reality is unmistakable. Put that distance in perspective: Tehran to Berlin is roughly 2,200 miles, to Paris 2,600, to London 2,750. What was once dismissed as theoretical is now proven in practice.

As we noted, the message was unhinged from reality, claiming they were “breaking the enemy,” and that he believes in good relations with his neighbors, even as he is attacking them.

Chinese scientists have turned mosquitoes into flying vaccines — that can still bite human
https://www.theblaze.com/news/chinese-scientists-have-turned-mosquitoes-into-flying-vaccines-that-can-still-bite-humans
Researchers from the nation that likely unleashed COVID-19 unto the world have transformed mosquitoes into flying syringes.
Some researchers, including a group at the Bill Gates Foundation-backed Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, have already attempted in recent years to fashion mosquitoes into flying vaccine delivery systems with human targets in mind…scientists at the state-controlled Chinese Academy of Sciences — an institution that has a strategic partnership with the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences — have targeted bats, purportedly designing mosquitoes to instead deliver recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-based rabies and Nipah vaccines to the flying mammals. Like rabies, Nipah virus is a potentially deadly virus found in animals. Whereas rabies has nearly a 100% fatality rate in humans once symptoms manifest, the estimated case fatality rate for Nipah virus ranges from 40% to 75%.

The president said he would “obliterate” Iran’s power plants, “starting with the biggest one first!” That would seem to put a bullseye on one of their nuclear facilities: Iran’s largest power plant is the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, located on the Persian Gulf in southwest Iran. It is Iran’s only commercial nuclear power plant. The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed to most ship traffic by Iran’s military forces since the war began three weeks ago. The crucial waterway is responsible for the movement of approximately 20% of all global oil, and its shuttering has led to a spike in gas prices. Mr. Trump’s statement comes after the Treasury Department Friday announced that it was lifting sanctions on Iranian oil at sea as it attempts to bring down those prices.

The Islamization of Britain is Almost Complete
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/03/the_islamization_of_britain_is_almost_complete.html
British institutions are relentlessly embracing Islam, attacking classic British culture, and turning a blind eye to Islamic crime and antisemitism.
Britain is now a shadow of its former self, having allowed its institutions, the media, academia, and the public to be heavily influenced by Islam, which the late Christopher Hitchens described as “the most toxic form that religion can take.” Fashionable deference to Islam—the government, for example, treats even the most innocuous criticism of Islam as “hate speech”—has caused a noticeable shift in power, identity, and influence, and it may not be long before Britain becomes an Islamic state. The Muslim population is projected to exceed 8% by 2030. There are over 2,000 mosques, more than 85 sharia courts challenge British common law, sharia finance is growing in popularity, halal food is widespread, and the government recognizes Islamic holidays with an enthusiasm that would shame many Muslim countries. Iftars are hosted at the House of Commons, and Ramadan prayers are offered at Windsor Castle, a symbol of Britain’s historical pre-eminence.

Schumer and Warnock Admit Non-Citizens Vote While Opposing Election Integrity Bill
https://americanjournaldaily.com/dems-senate-illegals-voting/
The ballot box is the only thing separating a free republic from total chaos. It’s a sacred promise that the voice of the American citizen—and only the citizen—charts our nation’s destiny. Every legal vote is a thunderclap of freedom, a right bought and paid for with the blood of patriots. Without that fundamental trust, the whole experiment in self-governance goes up in smoke…In a jaw-dropping moment of carelessness on the Senate floor, two of the Democrat party’s top dogs effectively made the case for the very bill they were trying to bury.
“The evidence is that almost no illegal aliens vote,” Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor. Warnock similarly acknowledged the issue while listing statistics about voting records in his home state. “8.2 million people are registered to vote in Georgia. The Republican secretary of state found 20 instances of noncitizens who were registered, and only nine had ever attempted to vote,” Warnock said.
♦ Top Democrats admitted on the Senate floor that illegal aliens are voting.
♦ The Left claims voter fraud isn’t real while providing evidence that it is.
♦ The SAVE America Act is a common-sense plan to ensure only citizens vote.
♦ Democrats block election integrity to protect a system they can easily exploit.

Ask any (good) parent what one of the harder lessons to impart to your kids is, and you’ll almost always hear some variation of, “Your actions have consequences.”…not all parents believe in this concept…Judge Raquel West isn’t a household name, but that didn’t stop her from going viral this week after she dressed down an 18-year-old who had clearly never learned that his actions can have consequences — like 25 years in prison. But West didn’t simply hand down a quarter-century prison sentence for Caden Fontenette and his accomplices.(Those actions included a three-on-one ambush of a convenience store employee in a brazen 2025 robbery attempt, which Fontenette pleaded guilty to)…There was a time when personal responsibility wasn’t a controversial concept, when “you made your bed, now lie in it” wasn’t seen as harsh, but as foundational.

Anti-Trump Republican Has Political Operative Tied to the Most Radical Democrats in Texas on Payroll

Texas Rep. John Lujan has had a troubled past with the America First and MAGA movements in the Republican Party. From blaming President Donald Trump for his electoral losses in 2018 to supporting an amnesty for “great citizens” who came into the United States illegally, he is a dream candidate for RINOs. That could not be more apparent after Townhall discovered that Lujan has kept a Democrat political operative used by the radical left-wing Castro brothers on his payroll. Campaign finance reports have revealed that Lujan has paid thousands of dollars to Leticia Cantu, a political operative who “managed Julian Castro’s successful mayoral campaign” and “has served as a trusted consultant to Congressman Joaquin Castro.” Julian Castro is the former HUD Secretary under President Joe Biden, and Joaquin touts one of the strongest progressive ratings in all of Congress…Lujan owes much of his success to the Dade Phelan-establishment in Texas. Phelan, a man Trump has labeled as a “weak RINO,” recruited and funded Lujan’s political endeavors. Lujan later repaid Phelan by nominating him to the speakership of the Texas House. Trump had previously threatened to support a primary challenge against Phelan, and would later endorse an alternative candidate for the speakership.

Second Amendment Sanctuary 2.0 Still Rolling Out Across Virginia
https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2026/03/19/second-amendment-sanctuary-20-still-rolling-out-across-virginia-n1231929
It’s not getting nearly as much press attention this time around, but the second coming of the Second Amedment sanctuary movement is still underway in Virginia, six years after more than 100 counties, towns, and independent cities adopted resolutions and ordinances vowing not to enforce any unconstitutional gun control measures…Keep in mind, though, that the State Police will be enforcing these laws, at least at the agency level. The Second Amendment sanctuary movement is valuable and important, and I’m thrilled to see that version 2.0 is still gaining ground throughout Virginia, but it won’t be able to mitigate the damage from every new gun control law that will be taking effect later this year.

Over 20 Nations Answer Trump’s Call to Defend Key Oil Chokepoint, Iran Unveils Surprising Missile Capabilities
https://www.westernjournal.com/20-nations-answer-trumps-call-defend-key-oil-chokepoint-iran-unveils-surprising-missile-capabilities
As an increasingly isolated Iran lashed out in rage Saturday, more than 20 nations responded to President Donald Trump’s call to take action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. military pounded Iranian positions with 5,000-pound bombs. Iran sent shivers down Europe’s spine by launching two ballistic missiles at the British base on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, which is almost 2,500 miles from Iran, according to the BBC. Prior to the launch, Iran’s long-range ballistic missile capabilities were thought to be far more limited. One missile failed in flight. An American warship intercepted the other.

… the District filed an en banc review of the three-judge panel’s decision, and pleaded with the court to grant the request as quickly as possible. In fact, D.C.’s attorneys argued that the court shouldn’t even wait for the plaintiffs to reply to the en banc request because “the effect of the Division’s decision on public safety has been extraordinary and immediate, warranting prompt action.” Keep in the mind that the DOJ said months ago it would no longer prosecute individuals for possessing “large capacity” magazines, so it’s been up to the District to enforce the misdemeanor since then.

Nigerian Researchers Accidentally Confirm Africa’s Low IQ Problem
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/nigerian-researchers-accidentally-confirm-africas-low-iq-problem
For many years the political left has dismissed all discussion about links between third world populations and low intelligence as “racism” and “xenophobia”. The well documented fact that low IQ populations are more inclined towards lack of impulse control and a higher crime rate does not matter to progressives. They assert that such claims are based on “rigged” and “biased” data. For example, the data on Somalia’s low median IQ (which is 67 and far below the western average of 100) is often criticized as “incomplete” because the data is usually taken from refugees and migrants leaving the country rather than a population sample from within the country. However, populations in neighboring countries like Djibouti or Ethiopia have nearly identical test results…Ideally, western nations should be looking for the best of the best of any potential immigration source. This can be measured in a lot of ways, with loyalty and a willingness to integrate being at the top of the list. That said, IQ should also be considered. There’s no practical excuse to dismiss it, only ideological excuses.

Left-Wing Activists Caught Plotting to Rig Juries Against Trump DOJ Prosecutions

A left-wing activist network is training liberals how to slip onto juries in federal cases and then vote “not guilty” to derail prosecutions brought by the Trump Justice Department. Recordings and training materials tied to the group Freedom Trainers show activists being coached on how to conceal their left-wing views during jury selection and then use jury nullification once they are seated on a jury. The webinars, slide decks, and pamphlets behind the effort all push the same approach: Blend in during selection, say the right things to get seated, and use the jury room to block convictions.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, which would require providing ID to vote, passed the House in February but sits stalled in the Senate, where it needs 60 “ayes” to overcome a filibuster…Republican lawmakers have pushed for a return to the “talking filibuster,” the old-style version where senators had to speak nonstop to hold up legislation. In the modern version, they just have to signal their intent to filibuster, and then they can go about their business…Eighty-three percent of Americans support voter ID…It is certainly aggravating that our legislature cannot pass a bill that has overwhelming support from the people who should matter, the voters. Despite the frustration of some that the Republican leadership has been unable to solve the logjam, though, it’s important to remember that in the end, it’s Democrats who are defying the will of the people. The only way to stop their shenanigans is to win big in the midterms.

Australian Anti-Gun Push Offers Stern Warning to American Hunters
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/03/11/australian-anti-gun-push-offers-stern-warning-to-american-hunters-n1231829
The term “Fudd,” as I typically use it, refers to someone who owns guns, uses them, but is very quick to throw our rights under the bus because they think guns should only be for hunting or something. They’re more than willing to sell us down the river by supporting universal background checks, assault weapon bans, or even bans on many semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols. After all, it doesn’t impact their old .30-.30 lever action or bolt-action .30-06.
And, honestly, that’s a stupid way to look at things. After all, when they say they’ll never ban your hunting rifle, they mean it. They’ll call it a sniper rifle first, most likely. Still, gun control is gun control, and the Australian Deer Association in Australia–the kind of group our Fudds might be proud members of–is seeing the effects of gun control’s mission creep, and they don’t like it.

Church Security Alert: We Just Went to RED — Here’s What You Need to Know
https://www.christianwarriortraining.com/p/church-security-alert-we-just-went
We just raised the alert level for churches nationwide – The church security threat level is moving from High (Orange) to Severe (Red). This change reflects a convergence of threat factors, including sustained jihadist incitement against churches, growing concern regarding Iran and its proxies, reporting on possible external signaling to hostile elements outside Iran, and the approach of Easter, when churches become larger, more predictable, and more symbolically significant targets. While recent reporting regarding an Iran-linked drone threat adds to the broader retaliatory picture, the more immediate and likely danger to churches remains lone actors or small cells inspired or directed by ISIS, Al-Qaeda, or Hezbollah-linked elements.

It’s difficult to say when morale among the lower ranks of the IRGC will collapse, but if these attacks persist and are successful, there will be a point at which it does.

New York City’s Credit Outlook Downgraded to Negative by Moody’s Amid Mamdani’s Budget Deficit
https://istandforfreedom.com/new-york-downgraded-mamdani/
There’s an old saying in finance: the market doesn’t care about your feelings. It doesn’t care about your campaign promises, your ideology, or who you blame for the mess you inherited. It only cares about the math…nder Eric Adams, for all his flaws, the city repeatedly earned positive credit reviews. Three months of Mamdani, and Moody’s is flashing warning lights. City Hall dismissed the move as “premature,” banking on a $5 billion bailout from Albany…Property owners, business operators, high earners — they can read a balance sheet. More importantly, they can read a moving truck brochure. When you punish the people who generate wealth to fund an ideological wish list, they leave. And when they leave, the math gets even worse.
The bill always comes due and New York is learning that the hard way — again.

The SAVE Act is the hill voters will die on

It’s time to find out who runs the Republican Party: Donald Trump or John Thune (RINO-S.D.)…Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) goes on camera and all but admits the quiet part: the rolls include millions of noncitizens, and Democrats don’t want ICE clearing them out before the next election. He’s saying it out loud…If Republicans can’t pass the SAVE Act in the face of that kind of brazen hubris and illegality, nothing else will matter — not Iran, not an economic rebound, not a shiny jobs report. Midterm obliteration is coming, and that means Trump 2.0 turns into impeachment 2.0.

Iran’s Internal Security Forces Are Being Systematically Assassinated

BASIJ MILITIAS UNDER HEAVY ATTACK ACROSS IRAN – Reports are emerging of multiple new attacks targeting Basij militia units, the street-level enforcers used by Iran’s Islamic regime to police neighbourhoods and suppress dissent. Several checkpoints and militia positions are said to have been hit overnight, continuing a pattern of strikes against the regime’s internal security network. The Basij have long served as the front line of the dictatorship’s control on the streets — running checkpoints, monitoring civilians, and crushing protests. Now those same units appear to be coming under sustained and systematic attack. If the reports continue to mount, it could signal a serious weakening of the regime’s ability to control the streets inside Iran.

Israel has been relying in part on target information sent by ordinary Iranians for strikes carried out during the current war with Iran…Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts…the information is first verified and vetted by Israeli authorities, and action is taken only after it is found to be accurate.

The Mayor of New York gave a statement on the attack that spent more time whining about the people who were simply speaking – literally using words – than criticizing the Mayor’s ideological brothers who tried to murder them.

“Dear Chuck Schumer,
Hi. Black dude here. I can trace my family ancestry to slavery. I even know where they were slaves. My mom experienced Jim Crow. I think I’ve watched every episode of ‘Eyes On the Prize’ when I was younger.
With that said…
Can you directly explain to me how the SAVE Act is ‘Jim Crow 2.0?’ Literally every black person I know has ID. Literally every black person I know has a car or at least a ride. Literally every black person I know knows how to vote (well… except the ones with felonies… but they don’t count).
With your advanced white liberal thinking, you must know more than me. Apparently, as I experience daily on this app, white liberals are experts on being black; even more so than actual black folks. Perhaps you could explain it like I’m five. I’d look it up on the internet, but Kathy Hochul has already told me I don’t know what a computer is and Joe Biden said I can’t navigate it, anyway.
Looking forward to your answer.

The U.S. military bombed Iran’s most strategic economic asset, Kharg Island. The tiny spot of land in the northern Persian Gulf is the launch point for 90% of the country’s oil exports. Despite its size, it is one of the most critical pieces of Iran’s energy infrastructure. The US striking this small but vital island in the northern Gulf is like going for Iran’s economic jugular vein. Ninety percent of Iran’s crude oil comes through a terminal on the island – transported through pipes from the mainland.

∙ AQAP Messaging Encourages Youth Mobilization and Migration for Jihad
A newly circulated propaganda document attributed to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) promotes continued global jihad while urging supporters—especially young Muslims—to prepare for future conflict through education, readiness, and migration to areas where jihadist groups are active.
∙ ISIS-K Publication Praises Assassination and Calls for Continued Attacks Against “Enemies”
“A Congratulatory Message Regarding the Assassination of the Apostate Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei.”…AQ and ISIS have told their followers to not interfere with Israel’s and the United States’ fight against the Iranian government. But that does not mean that they will stop trying to attack you.

The Best Quote on Islam That You’ve Never Heard – Winston Churchill Predicted Europe’s Fall to Islam All the Way Back in 1899
https://www.westernjournal.com/best-quote-islam-never-heard-winston-churchill-predicted-europes-fall-islam-way-back-1899
Former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill recognized Islam’s threat to Europe in 1899… his observations regarding Islam are as timeless and politically astute as any by the British statesman… from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science—the science against which it had vainly struggled— the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

Leftist Groups Meeting With Cuban Politburo Reveals ‘Just How Coordinated’ Opposition to Trump Is: Chip Roy

Rep. Chip Roy is demanding an “immediate” investigation into the leftist network of activist groups organizing protests against President Donald Trump’s intervention in Iran after some of the network’s leaders met with the Cuban Communist Party’s Politburo earlier this week…“That this group would openly meet with Cuba tells you how urgent it is for the administration and state law enforcement entities, including attorneys general, to immediately investigate these groups and the myriad other groups that are clearly acting against our national security interests,”

I walked away from California Democrats to keep my sanity – Noosheen Hashemi
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/i-walked-away-from-california-democrats-to-keep-my-sanity
It used to feel good to be a Democrat in California. Emphasis on used to — and President Trump’s recent State of the Union address illuminated exactly why I left the party…What changed my mind was not the rhetoric. It was the outcomes. California is the glaring example of the failure of liberal policies.
Three areas illustrate the pattern…
∙ Elections: When California Democrats treat voter ID as ideological heresy, they weaken the legitimacy of the system they claim to defend.
∙ Family: When the state becomes the decision-maker – Compassion cannot justify dissolving the family as the primary unit of accountability.
∙ Fiscal reality: Math still applies – California’s budget rests on a narrow and volatile base…Wealth-based tax proposals focus on the very taxpayers who fund a disproportionate share of state commitments.
The pattern is simple. Spend expansively. Measure loosely. Promise morally. Deliver inconsistently.

There’s just one problem with her big tough post … the House (where she sits) already passed it.

Plus-sized* feminist discusses ‘systems’
“Plus-sized”* being a polite euphemism here for “morbidly obese”; the lady likely singlehandedly exceeds weight limits on non-freight elevators. Anyway, she has a novel systems theory — these people love talking about systems — that sounds very much like it got cooked up in a Gender and Women’s Studies seminar to justify her personal vendetta to blame society for being fat: “Women hate men as a system, men hate women as people. And it’s like when we say we hate men, we are really saying we hate the patriarchy. We really hate the system that keeps men in power and keeps men harming us. Men hate us as people. Men hate us individually. Sometimes people are like why are you so angry about the patriarchy, Kristen? I don’t think people are aware of like the level and the quantity of things that their fathers and brothers and grandfathers and friends and boyfriends and husbands have been saying to me for, like, 13 years constantly, every day. I am not overreacting. I am reacting appropriately.”…………………………

Physician: Libs Experiencing ‘9/11-Style’ Trauma After MAGA Takeover
https://pjmedia.com/benbartee/2025/02/11/physician-tds-libs-experiencing-911-style-trauma-after-maga-takeover-n4936871
Former MSNBC, ABC News, and Bloomberg hack Mark Halperin is trying to survive in independent media…he hosted Dr. Glenn Burnett to discuss the psychological issues afflicting the TDS hordes in the wake of the dawn of America’s Golden Age…Wyoming doctor told Mark Halperin Thursday evening many of his patents are in crisis after President Donald Trump took office for a second time last month. Internal medicine physician Glenn Burnett joined Halperin on 2WAY Tonight, where he compared the mental health of patients he has treated since Trump won the 2024 election to those he saw after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. Burnett explained his patients are from “all walks of life” before Halperin noted he was concerned before the election that a Trump win might cause untold voters to become “deeply troubled.”…The doctor lamented that elections are held every four years just before the holidays and said he had seen a great deal of patients who had cut family members off since the election*.
More from the doctor:
What has happened is I am just bombarded with all kinds of things all the time. I would say, to be fair, to set it up, when Biden was the president, I had all kinds of stuff from the other side. But it has been extremely intense. The last – the week or two after the election was pretty intense. It then calmed down, and now it’s really back up. We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure. And then people are — there’s some genuine fear, panic. I hear things from people all the time that I just — I don’t want to repeat because they’re — people, I don’t think would believe me. That just people have these very, very severe anxieties about what is going to happen to them. And it is affecting their lives… I was a physician during 9/11 and it was like this then … people are having real crises.

*This is a phenomenon that I have experienced in my personal life. In 2016, around Christmastime — even though I wasn’t even a Trump supporter and had never said anything in favor of his candidacy in public at the time — an immediate family member accused me in the most vicious terms of being responsible for Hillary Clinton’s historic-glass-ceiling-shattering anointment because I listened to the wrong media and because I had posted true and disturbing clips of things that Clinton has done and said over the years on my personal Facebook account, as if that was what swayed the election.

(I too have seen this in New Mexico. Hispanic New Mexicans historically reflexively vote Democrat, for no other reason than the candidate is a Democrat. While working with younger Hispanics, who were complaining about Democratic policies and the effects on them personally, I asked, “Why do you vote Democrat?” The answer universally was “My parents and grandparents vote Democrat, so I vote Democrat to keep peace in the house”, to which I said “They won’t know how you vote”. The response was usually something like, “I’ll say something sometime, and all hell will break loose”. I personally know 3 Hispanics who were thrown out of their family for voting other than Democrat, not Republican, just other than Democrat. “YOU ARE DEAD TO US!” – sad but true – jlr)

We Need Our Guns
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2026/03/lew-rockwell/we-need-our-guns/
Arguments about the right to own guns often turn out to be arguments about the meaning of the “right to keep and bear arms” in the Second Amendment. These debates are important, and I will say something about them later, but there is an even more essential issue… John R. Lott, Jr., the foremost authority on the statistics of gun ownership and crime, has said, “There is a clear consensus among economists about self-defense, gun-free zones, firearms and suicide, and concealed handgun laws. Among North American economists: • Eighty-eight percent say that guns are more frequently ‘used in self-defense than they are used in the commission of crime.’ • Ninety-one percent believe that gun-free zones are ‘more likely to attract criminals than they are to deter them.’ • Seventy-two percent do not agree that ‘a gun in the home causes an increase in the risk of suicide.’ • Ninety-one percent say that ‘concealed handgun permit holders are much more law-abiding than the typical American.’• Eighty-one percent say that permitted concealed handguns lower the murder rate.”… The historian Joyce Lee Malcolm has done important research in this area in her definitive book Guns and Violence: The English Experience (Harvard, 2002). She proceeds by a learned study of violent crime in England, from the Middle Ages to the present. In her survey, a constant theme emerges. As guns became more prevalent, violent crime decreased.

Trump’s prison order draws a line that reality should have drawn first
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/trumps-prison-order-draws-a-line-that-reality-should-have-drawn-first
Allowing men into women’s prisons should never be called ‘compassionate care.’…Women in prison deserve the dignity to heal without being sacrificed to an ideology… Trump’s executive order barring taxpayer-funded gender surgeries in federal prisons signals a shift away from treating prisons like laboratories for social experimentation. The order supports women and supports safety. For incarcerated women, it means they no longer have to watch men receive treatments and accommodations designed to make them “feel like a woman,” while the women themselves lose basic standards of privacy and dignity the moment they enter custody.

The Oil Shock of 2026: Pulp Fiction Economics
https://wilderwealthywise.com/the-oil-shock-of-2026-pulp-fiction-economics/
Plastics? Oil. – Transport? Trucks, ships, planes all guzzle it. – Heating an East Coast home in winter? Oil or derivatives. – Lubrication for machines that make everything from iPhones® to insulin? Yep, oil again. When the price jumps it acts like a stealth tax on every single human activity that involves moving atoms around. We’ve already seen Brent crude north of $120 a barrel, with whispers of $150 if this drags on. Groceries will cost more because trucks burn fuel. Manufacturing grinds slower because inputs skyrocket. Even that Amazon® package shows up later and at a higher price…Historically, high energy prices have been a tyrant’s best friend. Cheap energy? That’s freedom fuel. It lets people build, innovate, travel, and produce wealth without begging the government for handouts. Low prices mean less dependence on central planners I can heat my home, drive to work, and fill my tank without the state holding the reins. But jack up those prices? Wealth creation stalls. People cut back on extras, then necessities. Factories idle. Jobs vanish. Suddenly, the masses are clamoring for subsidies, price controls, “emergency” aid.

‘Not this week, not ever’: Schumer vows to block Trump’s SAVE Act
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/mar/15/week-ever-schumer-vows-block-trumps-save-act/
Schumer vows to stop SAVE Act from ever passing: Requiring voter ID is a bridge too far for Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer, who has vowed to stop it from “ever” passing. If only those with an ID can vote, how will all the illegals cast their votes? Senate Republican Leader John Thune opined that the commonsense measure to require photo ID should “get an automatic ‘yes’ vote from literally every member of this body.” Currently, the SAVE Act would require 60 votes to pass the Senate, and Republicans only hold 53 seats. Our Thomas Gallatin has explained that even measures such as reworking the Senate filibuster would be unlikely to guarantee passage of the bill. Americans across party lines support voter ID requirements. If upholding the will of the people is impossible for the Senate, it is a judgment on that legislative body.

For a very long time, Democrats insisted that election fraud was a nonexistent fever-dream that Republicans were having. In recent years, their story has shifted, and they now acknowledge that some election fraud might exist, but that it’s rare. Lately, the growing concern on the right is that the flood of illegal aliens who have been waltzing across our southern border will be making their way to the polls and voting. Again, Democrats swear that this isn’t the plan, but nobody on this side is buying that. There is a lot of concern in blue states about having any federal immigration enforcement at polling places next November.
If there are no illegals voting, why would having immigration officers at the polls be a problem?
Democrats aren’t answering that question, and now they’ve begun to make sure that the feds stay away.

Early-season heatwave intensifies across western United States, Extreme Heat Warnings issued
https://watchers.news/2026/03/18/early-season-march-heatwave-intensifies-across-western-united-states-extreme-heat-warnings-issued/
A strong and persistent high-pressure system has stalled over the Desert Southwest on March 18 and will bring a widespread and potentially record-breaking early-season heatwave across the western United States. The stalled system is forecast to expand, allowing the heat to spread eastward from California and the Great Basin into the Rockies and Great Plains by March 20. This configuration suppresses cloud formation and enhances solar heating, supporting continued temperature increases across a broad region. The heatwave is forecast to persist through the weekend, with conditions expected to gradually return closer to seasonal averages early next week as the upper-level pattern weakens and shifts.

NYC Mayor Mamdani Signs $1.9 Billion No-Bid Hotel Contract to House Homeless for Three Years

Let’s be honest about what’s happening to our cities. They were once beacons of American ambition, places where common sense and hard work were the currency of success. Now, they are laboratories for a warped, progressive version of “compassion” that does nothing but create misery. This new ideology isn’t about solving problems. It’s about signaling virtue by burning through mountains of other people’s money…competition is a dirty word for socialists. Instead, Mamdani’s team handed a blank check to the Hotel Association of New York City Foundation, a group representing 300 hotels.
★ NYC’s socialist mayor is spending a staggering $1.9 billion to rent hotel rooms.
★ The “no-bid” contract enriches a politically connected hotel “cartel” with taxpayer money.

“Maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who we can bring back home because our tax base has been eroded,”…I need people who are high-net-worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Right? Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. Okay, cut me the checks. If you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be to go down to Palm Beach and see who we can bring back home because our tax base has been eroded. So I philosophically don’t have a problem, I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals.

US Allies Not Willing to Send Warships

★ Trump demanded allies send warships to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — and got mostly cold shoulders
★ Japan, South Korea, Britain, Australia and Germany all declined or stalled
★ China, unusually called upon despite being a U.S. rival, stayed silent
★ Trump warned the rebuff could be “very bad for the future of NATO”
(Since allies (and adversaries), including NATO, are refusing to join the US in militarily keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and NATO members have not fully funded NATO for decades, relying on personnel and material from the USA – I wonder if Trump might be setting up to withdraw from NATO. Leaving NATO to fund and defend itself – jlr)

U.S. Intelligence Believes New Iran Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, Is Gay

I mean, COME ON, this is too much. A gay Ayatollah? A Gayatollah, if you will? Yes, it’s a war, but now it’s also a Monty Python sketch that’s writing itself. I can picture President Donald Trump guffawing at the news — it’s one of those allegedly “non-presidential” things that he does, which I find so entertaining. U.S. intelligence believes that the new Iranian Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is gay. Trump was briefed on this intelligence tidbit last week and reportedly burst out laughing with the rest of his national security team. The irony is lost on no one. Iran executes men for being gay, and for the Islamic Republic to countenance a gay man as Supreme Leader is the height of cynicism and hypocrisy. Three (UNIDENTIFIED/anonymous/”the usual suspects”-jlr) sources told the New York Post of the intelligence, saying that the information was credible and not a rumor intended to undermine Khamenei the Younger.

During Northern Hemisphere winter, El Niño often brings wetter conditions to the southern United States while contributing to warmer temperatures across northern North America. El Niño also tends to influence tropical cyclone activity. Atlantic hurricane activity typically decreases during El Niño years due to stronger vertical wind shear across the tropical Atlantic basin

Trump waives Jones Act for 60 days in bid to free up the flow of oil to US ports
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-waives-jones-act-60-days-bid-free-up-flow-oil-us
President Trump issued a 60-day waiver of the Jones Act, a century-old law requiring cargo between U.S. ports to be carried on American-built, American-owned, American-flagged, and American-crewed ships, in an effort to ease fuel costs as the war with Iran chokes off the Strait of Hormuz. The strait normally carries about a fifth of the world’s oil, and its effective closure has pushed Brent crude above $103 per barrel and sent the average U.S. gas price to $3.84 per gallon. The waiver opens domestic ports to foreign vessels carrying oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and coal, removing a bottleneck that has long driven up shipping costs between U.S. ports. The Jones Act has been waived multiple times for emergencies, including after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Maria in 2017, and the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack in 2021.

The fact is, why they are refusing to help the USA with Iran is that
the European politicians in Europe are terrified of what the millions of MUSLIM “migrants”(an invading army), that they have invited in, might start creating more violent terrorist incidents than they are already doing, if they help the USA in any way – and that might cause the European Liberal Sheeple they rule to rebel and vote them out of their nice cushy jobs, and worse off the “A” list party circuit.

In January, 53-year-old Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez – a Venezuelan national – checked in for a “routine immigration appointment” in Nassau County and was taken into custody when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified him as a “criminal illegal alien” who entered the U.S. on a 2017 tourist visa and never left.

Damning study of over a million kids finds myocarditis only in the vaccinated
https://www.theblaze.com/news/damning-study-of-millions-of-kids-finds-heart-problems-only-in-the-vaccinated
The peer-reviewed study — conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and published in January in the scientific journal Epidemiology — looked at the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in healthy children ages 5-15 following the rollout that began in late 2021. Using data from the OpenSAFELY-TPP database with the blessing of NHS England, the researchers compared the “effectiveness and safety of: (1) the first vaccine dose versus no vaccination and (2) a second dose versus a single dose only.” Specifically, they compared 141,711 children ages 5-11 and 410,463 adolescents ages 12-15 who were given a first dose of the vaccine with equal numbers of unvaccinated children from the same age groups. The researchers found that the vaccination provided some benefits, including an “initial protective effect” that waned by 14 weeks as well as a lower incidence of emergency room visits than recorded among the unvaccinated cohort. They noted, however, that “myocarditis and pericarditis were documented only in the vaccinated groups, with rates of 27 and 10 cases/million after the first and second doses, respectively.” As late as January 2023, the U.K. Health Security Agency said that “the reported rate for heart inflammation (myocarditis and pericarditis) was 13 per million first doses and 8 per million second doses of the monovalent Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine” among those under the age of 18. “That there were no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in the unvaccinated group does not mean that such events cannot occur without COVID-19 vaccination, only that these events were not observed in the unvaccinated groups in our specific matched analyses,” the study noted.

Trump Dumps on NATO After Every Spineless NATO Ally Refuses to Help Secure Hormuz, ‘They Will Do Nothing For Us’
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/nato-cowards.html/
♦ Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of them.
♦ These parasites have lived off American security guarantees while offering nothing in return—for far too long.
♦ The USA must stop funding these useless organizations.
President Trump put NATO allies on notice Tuesday after they shunned his request for assistance in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for international shipping…when asked if he would remove the United States from NATO. “I don’t need Congress for that decision, as you probably know, I can make that decision myself.”…“I’m very disappointed in NATO, very disappointed,” he said. “We spend trillions of dollars on NATO. Think of it, trillions over the years, many trillions of dollars. It’s one of the reasons we have deficits.”…The US is the largest financial contributor to the alliance, estimated at approximately $980 billion in 2025, accounting for 65% of its defense budget.

No region is as dependent on oil and gas supplies as Europe, while the United States can operate from a comparatively sovereign position of energy self-sufficiency…U.S. President Donald Trump has raised the question of whether it is even in America’s interest to keep this lifeline open under heightened risk — a shocking message from a European perspective, yet one that has largely passed without reaction.(because they still think/hope that Trump is bluffing/weak/will keep it open anyway because the  Stupid Uncle Sugar always has – jlr)… President Trump openly questioned on Wednesday whether the U.S. Navy should ensure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz at all…If the energy supply collapses, the foundations of civilization crumble.

Tariff Threat Shocks U.S. Allies
https://usnewsbreak.com/tariff-threat-shocks-u-s-allies/
President Trump is warning America’s “friends” that sitting on the sidelines against Iran could come with a price tag—paid in tariffs, not apologies.

There’s a very interesting article in European Business Magazine this morning. This extensive quote explains what’s been happening:
https://europeanbusinessmagazine.com/business/how-america-replaced-lloyds-of-london-in-48-hours-and-took-control-of-the-worlds-most-critical-oil/
Iran’s attacks on Gulf shipping spiked maritime insurance rates by 400% overnight. Lloyd’s panicked. Coverage was pulled…Within 48 hours of Lloyd’s withdrawal, two things happened simultaneously. The US Navy, operating through US Naval Forces Central Command, expanded its escort operations across the Gulf — effectively offering the physical protection that insurance underwrites. And American insurers began moving to replace Lloyd’s coverage entirely, stepping into a market that British financial infrastructure had monopolised since the reign of William III.

The only clear correlation we can find in education is this: as spending goes up, student results go down.
Our local school system just had its budget rejected for the second time in five years. They’re already talking about “what to cut,” as if the budget was slashed. It wasn’t. They simply didn’t get the increase they wanted. This happens every time the public pushes back.

Iran Threatens Global Tourist And Recreational Sites After U.S.-Israeli Strikes Decimate Leadership

♦ A wounded predator doesn’t surrender. It thrashes. It bites at anything within reach. And right now, the Islamic Republic of Iran — its supreme leader dead, its generals picked off like flies, its navy resting on the ocean floor — is thrashing harder than ever.
♦ “Iran’s top military spokesman warned Friday that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide won’t be safe for Tehran’s enemies. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi made the threat as Iran continues to be hit by American and Israeli airstrikes. It renewed concerns that Iran may revert to using militant attacks beyond the Middle East as a pressure tactic in the war.”

A new force in British politics is making waves with an uncompromising vision for national restoration.

Charlie Downes @cfdownes_ – https://x.com/cfdownes_/status/2033871622730313790
“We will not lie to the British people. Restoring Britain will require decisions that are controversial and unpleasant.
We are going to strip millions of healthy Brits who refuse to work of benefits. If that causes outrage from those who think the taxpayer owes them a living, so be it. We are going to deport all illegal and burdensome migrants. If that means millions go, so be it. We are going to outlaw incompatible cultural and religious practices. If that means those who refuse to integrate no longer feel welcome, so be it. We are going to execute pedophiles, rapists, and murderers if that is what the British people want. If that means we are condemned by subversive “human rights” groups, so be it. We take no pleasure in these measures. It is a damning indictment of our political class that they are necessary in the first place.”

The president, in his response, said his administration “didn’t tell anyone” about the Feb. 28 military action in advance…”Well one thing, you don’t want to signal too much, you know?” Mr. Trump said. “When we go in, we went in very hard. And we didn’t tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor? OK? Right?”…”We had to surprise them, and we did,” the president said of Iran. “… If I go and tell everybody about it, there’s no longer a surprise.”

Censorship and repression: Proton VPN’s end of year report 2025
https://protonvpn.com/blog/eoy-report-2025
A notable trend was the increasing willingness of authoritarian governments to damage their own economies and the livelihoods of citizens by implementing total internet shutdowns…Most notable, however, was the increasing threat to internet freedom in Western democracies by-and-large considered “free.” From age verification laws introduced without considering the full ramifications to social media restrictions, to DNS server blocks, access to a free and open internet is imperilled now more than ever…1. Iran. On June 18, as the Iran–Israel War escalated, Iran imposed a near-total internet blackout that lasted three days. The government severed international connections and blocked access to websites, social media, messaging services, and foreign VPN servers. Only Iran’s domestic intranet and government-approved services remained accessible…3. Afghanistan. On September 29, citing “immorality”, the Taliban imposed a 24‑hour total internet blackout affecting roughly 30% of the population. The shutdown came after the regime began removing(new window) women‑authored books from universities and restricting girls’ education past age 12, prompting some women to turn to online learning…3. USA. In 2024, framing the measure as protection against “foreign adversary–controlled applications”, Congress passed legislation requiring TikTok to divest its US operations or face removal from app stores and US internet infrastructure.

make no mistake: the Islamic nation worldwide will keep trying to destroy Israel, because it’s taught in the Qur’an that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82) and that the Muslims must “drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191). The Israelis really didn’t drive out the Arabs; the Arab Higher Committee told the Arabs to leave in 1948. But the last was once ruled by Islamic law and so according to that same law, it belongs to Islam forever.

THE B-52 SIGNAL: The U.S. Air Force just sent a message to the world—not through a press release, but through aircraft selection. The arrival of the B-52 Stratofortress over Iran marks a definitive shift in Operation Epic Fury. To understand the gravity, you have to understand the sequence of the last 96 hours.
Military strategists use specific tools for specific phases of a campaign. Here is the timeline of the “Big Wave”:
Feb 28 (The B-2 Spirit): Stealth is required. $2.1 billion per aircraft. You send the B-2 when air defenses are lethal and intact. They dropped 160,000 lbs of bunker-busters on hardened underground sites.
March 2 (The B-1 Lancer): Speed over stealth. You send the supersonic B-1 when defenses are degraded. These conducted the deepest raids since 2003.
March 3 (The B-52): The “Giant Barn.” It’s 70 years old, subsonic, and visible on every radar on Earth.
The takeaway? You only send the B-52 when there is nothing left to shoot it down.
By the Numbers: Quadrupling the Firepower
The transition to the B-52 isn’t just symbolic—it’s a massive escalation in payload:
Strike Capacity: The U.S. has 76 B-52s compared to just 20 B-2s. We just quadrupled our available heavy bomber strike capacity.
Payload: Each B-52 carries 70,000 lbs of ordnance per sortie.
Intensity: 1,700 targets struck, 300 new sites added. The campaign is intensifying, not tapering.

Deployment of America’s Oldest Bomber Means
https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/03/04/the-buff-in-iran-what-the-deployment-of-americas-oldest-bomber-means-n2199835
Now, we’re using the BUFFs. The B-52, wonderful though it is, is about as stealthy as a D-9 Caterpillar driving over a pile of wrecked cars. It’s slow. It has the radar cross-section of New Zealand and the infrared signature of an erupting volcano. Its use in and around Iran means one main thing: The Iranians have nothing left with which to shoot at them…but if you need a few dozen square miles of countryside destroyed and you need it destroyed right now, the BUFF can get that done…The BUFF can carry stand-off weapons, including cruise missiles, and I’ve heard rumors that they have been adapted to launch drones. But the main thing the BUFF has going for it is a big, big bombload. Each BUFF can carry 51 750-pound iron bombs. That’s a lot of BOOM for your buck. And now some Iranian goblins are finding out, like the Iraqi Republican Guard and the North Vietnamese Army before them, that Arc Light means never having to say you’re sorry.

The GOP Can’t Be Rid of Thom Tillis Quickly Enough
https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/04/the-morning-briefing-the-gop-cant-be-rid-of-thom-tillis-quickly-enough-n4950204/
Republicans in North Carolina were voting for their candidate to run and replace the execrable Thom Tillis. As Chris said in response to the fact that Tillis isn’t running again, “WOOHOO!” Tillis is one of those backstabbing members of the GOP who have me convinced that the Democrats have Manchurian candidate plants in the party. He’s not reliable on most big votes. If he does end up not screwing over his own party, it’s only after a lot of grandstanding so that he can get some all-important facetime in front of the cameras. Yesterday, Tillis reminded us why it will be a boon when the party finally gets rid of him. This is from my good friend Matt Vespa over at Townhall: The hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee today became tense during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s testimony. The most notable moment was Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) fiercely criticizing Ms. Noem over what he considers poor leadership at DHS, which is partly shut down due to Democratic Party tactics. He really did lose it on Secretary Noem; it was very AOC-esque in its shrill, emo ridiculousness. Tillis is an embarrassment through and through…My Democratic plant theory looks stronger all the time with this guy. Tillis has been a disappointment on my radar for a long time now. I was writing about him back in 2022 when he cosponsored an absolutely horrible amnesty bill with Kyrsten Sinema, my senator back then. So, yeah, he’s been a problem for a while.

The result was emphatic. Roughly 95 percent of Republican primary voters supported the measure, signaling near-universal agreement among grassroots conservatives that American civil law must always be grounded in the U.S. and Texas Constitutions.

If you’ve been reading news for the last few years, you been reading that the U.S. Navy was on the verge of obsolescence, especially in a direct fight with the increasingly powerful Iranian naval forces. No, really. Iran had ultrafast supercavitating torpedoes from Russia, so the aircraft carrier had become a white elephant. If the Americans ever dared to attack Iran, the Iranians would just drop all the carriers like it was sinking three-foot putts. The shooting hasn’t stopped, so maybe we’ll still see the ugly spectacle of the Iranians sinking an American warship. There’s always room for a war to go sideways. But it doesn’t look like they have much left to shoot torpedoes from.

California’s Anti-Gun AG Wants to Dictate Law to Rest of Nation
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/03/05/californias-anti-gun-ag-wants-to-dictate-law-to-rest-of-nation-n1231770
A lawsuit filed by Calif. Att. Gen. Rob Bonta and San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu is targeting the Gatalog Foundation Inc. and CTRLPEW LLC.California claims that Gatalog and CTRLPEW are providing prohibited persons with plans to make “ghost guns” (3D printed firearms without serial numbers). Matthew Larosiere, who is an attorney in Florida and is loosely connected to hobby gunsmiths via Gatalog, is one of the people California is suing. He explains in this video interview that what they call “Gatalog” is just hobbyists who found each other on the internet. They are not selling guns. They are talking about and toying with concepts for guns digitally. “If California can regulate access to the instructions,” said Larosiere. “Not just by California, but with this lawsuit, [then] what they’re saying is they want to regulate the entire internet worldwide. That would mean that you’d be cut off at the heels from making a gun at home. And I think most of us can agree that if you have a right to keep and bear something, it necessarily subsumes the right to acquire it.” When asked about Gatalog, Larosiere explained that it is not a group “like the NRA. There’s no member that has a card; there’s no board of directors; there’s no nothing. It’s kind of just a group of hobbyists associating around an idea. And the idea is home gunsmithing.” California has a long history of trying to dictate to the country what it should and shouldn’t do. They create standards that industries are obliged to follow, even if the rest of us want nothing to do with them, and we’ve accepted it because the companies are the ones making the decision to use those standards throughout the nation.

Hegseth Salutes Israel’s ‘Unmatched Skill and Iron Determination’
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/watch-hegseth-salutes-israels-unmatched-skill-and-iron-determination.html/
The Pentagon recently named Israel a model ally. The Trump Administration understands the value of the extraordinary U.S-Israel alliance. Unfortunately, there are many despicable politicians in the United States (here, here, here) who seek to undermine the U.S-Israel alliance, so that they can obtain the pro-Jihad vote. All rational American voters should reject politicians who seek to harm the U.S-Israel alliance. Discarding an incredibly valuable ally to obtain the jihad vote is horrible for America.
“To our steadfast partner, Israel, your mission is being executed with unmatched skill and iron determination. Fighting shoulder to shoulder with such a capable ally is a true force multiplier and a breath of fresh air. We salute your courage and your contribution.”

Machine guns — defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives as a firearm that can fire “automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger” — are heavily regulated in the United States. While such weapons can be privately owned, Americans are greatly limited in what they can buy and must jump through numerous hoops to seal the deal. In West Virginia, Republican state Sens. Chris Rose and Zack Maynard recently introduced legislation that would establish within the West Virginia State Police an office of public defense that would oversee the procurement and sale of machine guns to “qualified members of the public,” namely any citizen presently eligible to purchase and possess firearms under West Virginia and federal law.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Alamo – Throwback post from the old blog.
https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/the-alamo
2200 hours, D-1, one hundred and ninety years ago General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna ordered that the artillery barrage which had fallen upon the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Bexar for twelve days be halted.
As he suspected, the exhausted defenders soon fell into a deep sleep, for most, the only sleep that they had managed during the course of the siege.
Just after 0000 hours, 06 MAR 1836, eighteen hundred Mexican infantry troops formed into four columns. 500 Mexican cavalry rode into position around the besieged mission, to prevent the escape of, well, anyone — be they Texan defenders, or Mexican troopies.
At about 0530 hours, the three Texan sentries posted outside of the walls were silently killed, followed by the music of the Mexican bugles sounding the charge. This woke the defenders, and for the next fifteen minutes it really sucked to be a Mexican soldier. The columns they were arranged in only allowed the front line of troops to fire safely. Those firing muskets from any position behind the front line, often as not fired through the front line of Mexican soldiers. Their own artillery behind them inflicted massive blue-on-blue casualties, while the defenders opened up with their own cannon — loaded with nails, chopped horse-shoes and even the hinges from the doors of the building.
Not to say that they were all ineffective. Colonel William B. Travis was killed during this time by a lucky shot to the head as he stood on top of the wall to get a better shot into the massed formation below him with his shotgun.
Pushed on by their reinforcing elements, the Mexicans mounted three different assaults, finally getting General Juan Amador over the wall, where he got a postern door open, which allowed the attackers to swarm the Mission.
One band of defenders — Davy Crockett for certain, and probably his frontiersmen volunteers — took up a position behind a low wall in front of the chapel, and made the Valkyries earn their overtime pay. When the Mexicans pressed too close to reload, the frontiersmen swung their rifles as clubs or switched to tomahawks and knives and exacted a terrible toll before being overrun.
An American slave named Ben, who was a cook for the Mexican army during the attack, states that Crockett went down swinging his rifle and was found surrounded by sixteen dead Mexican soldiers.
For the next hour or so, the Mexican army discovered exactly how bad Military Operations in Interior Urban Environments sucks, as they fought room-to-room in the Alamo. Just the attempt to replace the Texas flag on the roof of one building cost four Mexicans the ferryman’s fee, before the fifth finally managed to replace the flag of Texas with the flag of Mexico.
Room by room, in the dark and confusion, the Mexicans died, but replacements kept coming, sparing no defenders. Colonel Jim Bowie, too sick to rise from his bed, still managed to kill three or four Mexican troops with his pistols and famous knife, before being shot and bayoneted.
At about 0630 hours 06 MAR 1836, the last 11 defenders of the Alamo were killed manning the pair of 12-pounder cannon stationed in the chapel.
Surveying the scene after the bullets stopped banging and the bodies quit bouncing, General Santa Anna remarked, “It is but a small affair.” Hearing this, a staff officer stated, “Another victory like this, and we’ll go to the devil.”
When Jim Bowie’s mother was informed of his death, she very calmly announced: “I’ll wager no wounds were found in his back.”
Indeed.
189 defenders of the Alamo died this day 190 years ago. They took a full third of the attacking force with them.
When news of the Alamo got out, men flocked to the Texas army, and on the afternoon of 21 APR 1836, Texas remembered the Alamo, and took a full 18 minutes to toad-stomp the crap out of the Mexican army at the Battle of San Jacinto, taking General Santa Anna prisoner in the process.

We still remember the Alamo.

Move Over COVID: TDS is Here

Praise for Trump in Denmark will draw amazing criticism from the locals… their anger with Donald Trump was now palpable and has, in my opinion, reached the point where I can say with confidence that TDS has now officially become America’s greatest export — and we didn’t need an accident in a Chinese lab in Wuhan to make it happen…..TDS is the new COVID…..This pandemic of anger is not something that can be prevented by a vaccine nor can it be treated with any known drug, and it is spreading largely because of the growing number of people who are diametrically opposed to Donald Trump, the MAGA movement and the American brand of conservatism in general. These people have become so consumed by rage that they have allowed that rage and frustration to become the guiding measurement of everything that Donald Trump does or says.

∙My thoughts: The FBI is under stating the threat. They have much more intelligence that they could release to us so we can prepare to fight off any potential homeland attack. For now, remember your ABC’s, always be carrying.
∙My thoughts: you have to have your head in the sand to not realize that people are upset with the United States and they would like to attack us back. Our biggest threat is going to be lone wolf actors. But we cannot rule out coordinated attacks from Iranian agents or Iranian proxies inside of the United States.

New Fatwas Call on Muslims to Avenge Khamenei…Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah maintain established networks across the Western Hemisphere, including operatives and sympathizers in U.S. communities and Mexico…The first fatwa was issued on Sunday by Grand Ayatollah Naser Shirazi and said that avenging Khamenei’s death “is the religious duty of all Muslims in the world.” The second fatwa was issued by Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani, saying that “avenging the blood of the martyred leader of the revolution is ********obligatory for all Muslims.”…Cyber threats have also surged…(LOTS of GREAT info here that is not usually in the news – jlr)

puerto rico and the princess of darkness – adventures in failing upward

…Recently, we learn that the Christians In Action Central Intelligence Agency may be running around, talking the Kurds into weighing in on the whole Iran kerfuffle. My response to this tidbit was a slightly sardonic, “Yay”, followed by an observation that I didn’t realize we were setting the field for the next Iranian civil war so soon…On top of which, any government that rises from the ashes of the Islamic Regime is probably — sooner or later — going to want their chunk of Persia back. This is yet another chapter of the history books where things get all flaggy and arrowy. Sigh.

A New Jersey Girl Scout troop is the target of complaints after it came up with a way to boost sales of the famous Girl Scout cookies. New Jersey is one of several states where the use of marijuana is legal, so this troop set up a booth outside a cannabis shop to sell cookies to its customers.

In the clip, parental rights activist Beth Bourne questions a woman, who is reportedly the mother of a trans-identifying child, about medical interventions for minors. After a brief exchange where Bourne pressed the woman on topics like profits from gender-affirming surgeries on children and grotesque surgical procedures, the woman allegedly leaned in and whispered a death threat, “I’m gonna hunt you down and fking kill you,” before walking away.

And that begets important lessons for us. I’ve written extensively about the need to develop alternative water, power, and communication plans over the years. However, seeing a crisis starting to unfold in Iran helps us put a finer point on the need to develop such plans.

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attacks. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is a vociferous opponent of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, sometimes referred to as the SAVE America Act, which would require individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The unpopular senator has characterized the act — the passage of which President Donald Trump has made a condition of his ratification of other bills — as “Jim Crow 2.0,” a “fringe piece of legislation,” and as “extreme as it gets.”

No no, I’m thinking, because it’s very hard, getting these nominations through is very tough. He’s the only guy I know who can get 100% of the Democrat vote, 100% of the Republican vote, they wanna get him out of there, he is such a pain in the ass but he’s so good and so talented, Ted Cruz,”…the corporate media stenographers immediately clutched their pearls, breathlessly reporting it as a ‘joke’—completely missing the 4D chess being played right in front of them. They heard a punchline; patriots heard a plan. Underneath the humor was a flash of strategic brilliance that could secure our constitutional republic for the next generation.

Brandon Herrera became the Republican nominee for the 23rd District of Texas Congressional race. This was after it was learned that Rep. Tony Gonzales was a lot worse than just being anti-gun…the anti-gun world seems to jump at the chance to pick up where Gonzales left off…Gonzales’s attacks on Herrera centered largely around taking clips out of context and misrepresenting jokes as heartfelt positions…that’s part of a bit. Herrera is making fun of Nazis there. What’s more, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that he does things like this for whatever era and region a firearm is from. It’s funny they didn’t grab any of the clips of him dealing with guns from communist countries, isn’t it? I mean, they exist, including at least one where he’s dressed as Castro…Mr. Herrera uses satire in his videos about historical weapons. This is one example. You will see more by watching his videos.

Democrats Can’t Win Elections without Fraud
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/03/democrats_can_t_win_elections_without_fraud.html
Every illegal vote cancels an American citizen’s vote. And the left loves it…Twelve states (California, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont) plus Washington, D.C., essentially allow people to vote at the polls without documentation. In addition, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming accept IDs without photos. Arizona and Montana provide alternatives to photo ID requirements. Voters in Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington primarily vote by mail. Most of the remaining states that require some kind of ID at the polls still provide other options, including the casting of provisional ballots, the attestation of a would-be voter’s eligibility by another registered voter with ID, and the signing of affidavits declaring one’s eligibility. In other words, most states run a Frankensteinian hodgepodge of the “honor system,” “pinky swears,” and “bro hugs.”

I Voted Today

There were local elections in New Hampshire today.

My town has an official population of around 5,500 residents. Of that 65 to 75% are registered to vote, or 3575-4125 people.

My vote today was 0.12% of the total number of votes.

There were a total of 821 people who voted today.

People, get out and vote. The number of people who make the effort is so small that your vote is huge.

As a side note, as I was watching the machine register my votes, the guy handing out the “I Voted” sticker said, “I don’t have to wait to give you a free “I Voted” sticker.”

“That isn’t free.”

“What? Huh?”

“Our ancestors paid for our freedom to vote with blood, sweat, and the lives of their loved ones.”

The ballot guy went silent, the poll watcher went silent, and the guy handing out stickers went silent. Then the guy handing out stickers said, “That was much better than what I was going to say.”

…In 2024, Donald Trump — the thrice-married, twice-impeached, self-aggrandizing billionaire — won a landslide electoral victory over his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump didn’t win because he’s perfect; yet again, perfect wasn’t on the menu. He won because he was the better option…the qualities that make him so appealing often come with a cost. He’s a man with rough edges…More than any politician in recent memory, polling almost always exaggerates Trump’s weakness and underplays his strength, leading to “surprised Pikachu” faces on Election Day. Part of the reason is the MAGAverse’s distrust of pollsters, but it runs deeper than that.

Everyday transactions now require cameras, locks, and scrutiny. Each change makes sense on its own. But in aggregate, they reveal a society reorienting itself around distrust. Zahra Sethna from Collapse Life just returned from a trip to London and shared a jarring sign on the side of the road in super-wealthy Mayfair prohibiting open defecation in a doorway…There was a time not long ago when people went into Pret a Manger, the popular British café chain, for a sandwich and a coffee and were expected not to shoplift or assault a staff member. Now Pret has taken to having staff wear body cameras, as a quiet technological solution to a growing problem of worker safety and theft…

The actions of the Biden White House have sparked ongoing controversy. They targeted Donald Trump and have become increasingly hostile toward Attorney General Merrick Garland for not acting swiftly on political matters. Their Justice Department has investigated pro-life activists, searched their homes, and those who posted anti-Biden memes. If Trump had done the same, it would have been a multi-week story. Additionally, Reuters reports that FBI Director Kash Patel and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ phone records were seized during investigations led by ex-Special Counsel Jack Smith

Disgusted
https://vineofliberty.com/2026/02/26/disgusted/
Tuesday’s State of the Union address had so many disgusting moments that my stomach is still churning…The Democrats were just wrong…Every Democrat at the State of the Union was disrespectful; some stepped over the line into “unsportsman like behavior”, I’m looking at the Muslim twins and Al Green, but there were more…The Democrats are consumed with so much hate that they can’t show any love for our country…The next time there is a Democrat as president, I know I will be hearing about how I need to respect the office of the president. That I shouldn’t say disrespectful things about the person who occupies the Oval Office. And when I point out how they treated President Trump and then President Vance, they will tell me “That’s different.”

Left-Wing Lawfare Hijacking Courts to Overrule Voters
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/report-left-wing-lawfare-hijacking-courts-to-overrule-voters/
A new report from the Alliance for Consumers (AFC) reveals how left-wing legal activists have hijacked America’s courts, converting them into a “parallel lawmaking apparatus” that imposes policy mandates through litigation rather than legislation… restoring the proper role of courts requires recognizing that lawfare has become a systematic effort to accomplish through litigation what activists could not secure at the ballot box. It is time for the other branches of government to fulfill their constitutional role of acting as a check on that abuse of power.

Wild LI (Long Island) geezer built basement shooting range and staggering gun lab — just steps from Chaminade High School: DA

Wild LI geezer built basement shooting range and staggering gun lab — just steps from Chaminade High School: DA

crazy Long Island geezer allegedly transformed his basement into a makeshift shooting range equipped with an incredible arsenal of self-built machine guns, including a “weapon of mass killing” — set just steps away from several schools. 

Wen-Lone Chou, 67, operated a sprawling suburban gun lab inside his Mineola home down the road from Chaminade High School, a Mineola school soccer field and a nearby elementary school — that was fit with a 25-foot-long DIY shooting range in his basement, prosecutors alleged.

After a year-long, multi-agency probe, cops arrested Chou Wednesday after rifling through his home, where they discovered a staggering cache of firepower.

“What’s even more terrifying — this illegal, dangerous activity was happening steps away from several schools,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told reporters Thursday.

Police uncovered 10 mostly illegal guns, including seven assault-style rifles, a home-assembled fully automatic MP5-style weapon, a 9mm ghost gun with illegal parts, 78 high-capacity magazines — some stashed in Chou’s ceiling — along with six suppressors, roughly 6,000 rounds of ammo, and a rapid-fire switch capable of turning rifles into machine guns.

The only legal weapon in the home was an old bolt-action hunting rifle, Donnelly said.

Investigators also uncovered five completed lower frames — which are handgun and AR-style platforms awaiting additional components to be completed — along with parts capable of assembling yet another MP5-style firearm and even turning his AR-style weapons into a fully automatic killing machine. 

Chou built a fully functioning 25-foot underground firing range in his basement.Nassau County District Attorney

After a year-long, multiagency investigation, authorities searched inside Chou’s home on Feb. 25, where cops came across a staggering cache of firepower.Brandon Cruz / NYPost

“[Chou] had all the components to assemble an actual machine gun,” Donnelly said.

“This tiny item right here can effectively turn these firearms into machine guns,” she added, holding up the small metal “switch” device prosecutors said can transform a semi-automatic rifle into a full auto weapon.

“It makes an already deadly weapon, a weapon of mass killing.”

But what truly stunned authorities was what they said was hidden below Chou’s house — a fully functioning 25-foot underground firing tunnel, with the walls lined with blue tarps to contain debris and sound, and a four-inch-thick plywood target riddled with rounds. 

Chou used suppressors while firing in his tunnel so neighbors and children across the street wouldn’t hear the shots ring out, authorities alleged.

The probe launched in January 2025, after Chou was flagged as an alleged frequent online buyer of gun parts from multiple retailers — purchasing roughly 112 firearm-related components over the course of the prior year, according to prosecutors.

“This kind of purchasing pattern is an immediate red flag for our law enforcement,” Donnelly said.

Authorities also learned that Chou’s Nassau County pistol permit had been revoked in 1999 following a domestic incident, though he has no prior arrests — raising even more concern as investigators tracked what they described as an escalating pattern of purchases.

What’s even more terrifying — this illegal, dangerous activity was happening steps away from several schools,” Nassau County DA Anne Donnelly told reporters Thursday. Brandon Cruz for NYPost

Prosecutors are (trying to) determining whether Chou was simply a gun enthusiast who went wildly overboard or if there was a more sinister motive.

There is no evidence, so far, that he sold the weapons or was actively plotting an attack, authorities said.

What do you think? Be the first to comment.

Chou pleaded not guilty in Hempstead court on Thursday. His bail was set at $250,000 cash, $625,000 bond or $1.25 million partially secured, and he was ordered to surrender his passport.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison.

Trump Isn’t Starting a War, He’s Ending One

Trump’s decision to strike Iran hasn’t started a “forever war.” He’s attempting to end one. Nothing good would have come had we retreated. The Iranian-led war of terror against the West would have resume, more confident and more brazen. The world would be a worse place, and a lot more innocent people would die. That’s not an opinion. That’s an indisputable fact.

Well – Sucks to be a mullah right now

∙Strategically: Long overdue, and necessary for world stabilization and American interests.
∙Politically: I’m sure the oppo party on Congress is tuning up their shrieking, but given that they shriek about literally every-bloody-thing — no matter how small or insignificant — that the current Oval Office occupant does … ok.
∙Legally: I don’t know — and neither does anyone with a fresh degree in Legal Studies or International Strategic Studies from Google U. I would surmise that a man with access to the finest legal minds in the country probably has pretty firmly crossed his ‘t’s and dotted his ‘i’s, but we won’t know for a bit.
∙Personally: Kill as many of the mullahs as you want. Matter of fact kill all of them. Send the souls of every mullah, basiji, and IRGC thug — from highest to the least — shrieking into the bottomless dark, and bury their bodies in the cesspits where they belong.

Three weeks in England and Ireland: signs of unmistakable strain
https://www.collapselife.com/p/reflections-on-a-trip-to-england-and-ireland
Surveillance at the airport, labor shortages in villages, decay in Mayfair. The incremental signs of collapse were seen on a recent international trip. On the surface, everything functioned. Flights ran on time, shops were open, and restaurants and pubs were full of people. But on closer inspection, a few things began to come into view: ∙Travel gatekeeping through electronic travel authorization requiring a phone app and face scan. ∙New homes that restrict wood stoves in damp winter climates. ∙Labor shortages that make basic jobs nearly impossible to hire out. ∙A “no open defecation” sign in one of London’s wealthiest districts. None of these things alone screams collapse, but in the aggregate, they suggest incremental change and the tightening of systems that once felt frictionless.

8-year-old Maddox Livingston was pulled over by New Roads, Louisiana police on earlier this month for a headlight and license plate lights that were burned out. The traffic stop took a turn, however, when Livingston informed officers that he was exercising his right to carry and had a pistol with him. An office ran the gun’s serial number and told Livingston that it had been reported stolen in Florida. Soon the young man was in handcuffs and on his way to the local jail. There was just one problem: the gun wasn’t stolen, and the officer didn’t check the gun’s serial number. Instead, he ran the pistol’s patent number, which allegedly triggered the false flag.

Asymmetrical warfare means applying the strengths you have against an overwhelming enemy’s weaknesses. The goat sex pest mullahs have been utterly humiliated by America’s and Israel’s overwhelming military superiority in conventional forces…that doesn’t mean that they don’t have the capacity to strike back, and that doesn’t mean that we don’t have potential weaknesses. Everybody has weaknesses. Ours is located in the United States itself, our homeland, where we’re at. It’s already happening on a small scale, with open immigration poster child Ngdiaga Diagne shooting up a bar in Texas for Allah. We’re vulnerable here, and you are potentially on the front line of this war…What’s our vulnerability? Civilians, normal Americans, who Iranian proxy terrorists could murder in heaps…Iranian jihadis are not superstars, and they’re not super-geniuses. They are cunning and relatively competent at times in doing what they do, and what they do best is attack innocent civilians… it is not unreasonable to assume that the Iranian Republican Guard Corps has infiltrated sleeper cells into the United States. Once activated, they have the potential to go on a murder spree unparalleled in American history…Just remember that the killers don’t have to be Iranian. They can be from Chechnya, Egypt, Afghanistan, Turkistan, or some other random -stan. The Iranians aren’t picky about who they work with….Time to be ready. Time to be armed.

Plans for political theater at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union found one congresswoman inviting anti-ICE activists, including past detainees, as she “celebrates criminals.” Whether it be color-coordinated attire, message-bearing paddles, speech-shredding or cane-waving grandstanding, nationally televised joint addresses to Congress are treated by Democrats as opportunities for political stunts. As her state is embroiled in fraud scandals, including from her own Somali community, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) sees fit to get in on the performance with guest invites that include a woman who is the subject of a viral video for allegedly impeding ICE. Ahead of the Tuesday night address, Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin highlighted, “Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) announces two guests she is bringing to President Trump’s SOTU speech tomorrow night were detained by ICE in Minnesota, including a woman seen in a viral video being pulled out of her car by federal agents after they say she blocked traffic.”

Deception, Lying and Taqiyya – Does Islam permit Muslims to lie?
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other… unless the purpose of lying is to “smooth over differences” or “gain the upper hand over an enemy.” There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam, in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. – https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/taqiyya.aspx – jlr)

Sales-Tax Escalator
https://www.city-journal.org/article/state-sales-tax-cost-inflation
The one tax that has never provoked a significant revolt keeps climbing higher…as inflation surged, few politicians targeted one of the most direct and controllable costs they impose on everyday purchases: the sales tax. Unlike property and income taxes, which have periodically provoked revolts, sales taxes have rarely faced organized political opposition. That helps explain why they are the one major tax category whose rates have risen almost continuously over the past century. Taken together, general sales taxes and selective sales taxes—special levies on goods such as cigarettes or rental cars—now constitute the largest source of revenue raised by state and local governments.

ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE: Massive BILLION Gallon Sewage Spill in Potomac River One of Largest in Nation’s History in Democrat-Run Maryland
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/environmental-catastrophe-massive-billion-gallon-sewage-spill-in-potomac-river-one-of-largest-in-nations-history-in-democrat-run-maryland.html/
A massive sewage spill that began January 19 after the collapse of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line near Cabin John, Maryland, has released hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River — potentially making it the largest wastewater spill in U.S. history. Previous records stood at 143 million gallons, but estimates now suggest the total could approach 1 billion gallons before the crisis is contained.
DC and Maryland Democrats are STILL pumping raw sewage directly into waterways leading to the Potomac River, with NO end in sight.

Cawthon: 2A Supporters Need Results Before Midterms
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/02/19/cawthon-2a-supporters-need-results-before-midterms-n1231615
The current Congress can’t pass gas, let alone any pro-2A legislation. The Supreme Court seems to be content to smile benignly on lower courts’ defiance of its decisions. The burden of inspiring pro-2A voters to show up at the polls falls squarely on President Trump, the actions of his administration, and the efforts of pro-gun groups and gun owners to persuade them to get back on track…If Republicans want the gun vote, they need to earn it. They need to stop endorsing anti-gun Republicans like Tony Gonzales while trying to keep a vehemently pro-gun Brandon Herrera out of office, just to name one example. Especially because Brandon doesn’t cheat on his wife with staffers who later self-immolate. Allegedly.

Democrats take over a state, pass all kinds of taxes and regulations that are onerous to both businesses and residents alike, and the mass migration from said state begins. California comes to mind, and, indeed, Spanberger and her fellow Democrats have made quick work of turning Virginia into the California of the East.

President Trump’s D.C. Crime Task Force Surpasses 10,000 Arrests, Murders Down 68% Since August Launch
https://istandforfreedom.com/trumps-crime-task-force/
The Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has now surpassed 10,000 arrests since its August 2025 launch, and over 1,000 illegal firearms have been pulled from the streets. Murders have plummeted 68 percent compared to the same period last year, robberies are down 47 percent, and violent crime overall has dropped 31 percent…Additionally, the task force has also recovered 19 missing children. Among those arrested were the teenagers allegedly responsible for killing 21-year-old congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym last June—shot while walking near the D.C. Convention Center in a bullet meant for someone else.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: NYC Board of Elections ADMITS to Registering ILLEGALS To Vote, “WE ACCEPT ANYTHING”

Independent journalists from Muckraker released footage Tuesday showing a New York City Board of Elections employee giving a registration form to someone claiming non-citizen status, noting the office accepts any submission without reporting issues. The worker acknowledged occasional non-citizen attempts but said his role is just to collect and forward forms, which later face database checks.

Mamdani Told New Yorkers How He Felt About the Police, Now He’s Showing Them
https://redstate.com/beckynoble/2026/02/19/mamdani-told-new-yorkers-how-he-felt-about-the-police-now-hes-showing-them-n2199338
Zohran Mamdani has made no secret about his feelings about New York’s finest. His campaign platform included creating a Department of Community Safety. This Department would “prevent violence before it happens by prioritizing solutions which have been consistently shown to improve safety.”…None of this should come as a surprise to New Yorkers. Zohran Mamdani clearly stated who he was and what he wanted to do if elected mayor. Now he is doing it. The problem is that Mamdani, like a good socialist, no doubt read every book on socialism there is, and all of them said that taxing the rich would work. What they left out was the part about the rich being able to pack up and head to friendlier financial climates. What does he do then?…Let’s review: no snow removal, no trash pickup, defunding the police (let’s be honest, that’s what it is), taxing the rich, and when the rich leave, hiking property taxes. In case you had not figured it out yet, New York, it could be a long four years for you.

U.S. Rep.

Congressional Dems have spent much of the week raging against the Florida Republican over his response to a New York City Muslim activist who opined that dogs are “unclean” and don’t belong indoors, a key belief of the Islamic faith, but one that is just downright un-American…“Republican leaders must hold this so-called Member of Congress accountable,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said in a statement. “Political violence, xenophobia, and hate crimes against the Muslim community are on the rise. House Democrats will not let the racist and bigoted behavior of Randy Fine go unchecked. Accountability is coming to all of these sick extremists when the gavels change hands in November, if not sooner.”

Susan Rice’s Terrifying Vow If Democrats Take Back Power

Several prominent Democrats have been open and vocal about their plans to punish members of the Trump administration, including civilian ICE agents, if they regain power. Eric Swalwell has vowed to make ICE agents’ lives a living hell if he’s elected governor of California, Rep. Shri Thanedar said Dems will prosecute ICE and Border Patrol agents, as has Philly DA Larry Krasner, and Mehdi Hasan wants the next Democratic president to run on a platform of prosecuting conservatives. Now Suan Rice, the former Obama National Security Advisor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, as promised that Democrats will punish those who “bent the knee” to President Trump…”When it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media…it is not going to end well for them, for those that decided…that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest,” Rice said, “which I would underscore is a very short-term self-interest and take a knee to Trump.”

Bernie Sanders Dismisses Wealthy California Exodus, Then Proposes National Wealth Tax
https://americanjournaldaily.com/sanders-california-cnn/
There was a time when the American dream had a specific destination: California. It was the land of golden opportunity, where innovation and ambition could build empires under the sun. That California, however, is a distant memory, something you’d see in a black-and-white movie. That California is gone, replaced by a cautionary tale—a real-time experiment in what happens when radical progressive policies run amok. The results are as predictable as they are tragic. A quiet, steady exodus of the very citizens who once made the state thrive is underway. Job creators, innovators, and families are packing their bags for states that still value economic liberty. This flight of capital isn’t a mystery; it’s a rational response to a state that has chosen to punish success. But for the architects of that decline, the truth is a bitter pill. For proof, look no further than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. He recently revealed the left’s stunning hypocrisy, and you almost have to see it to believe it…What they are saying to the people of California is, it doesn’t matter to us, we’re billionaires, and we’re getting richer and richer, and if children die because they can’t get to a doctor, tough luck. We have the power, California, and we are going to punish you… And by the way, that is why I will be introducing a national wealth tax. Where are they going to run then?
(out of the country to money safe havens overseas. Taking their money, and the jobs they provided to US citizens, with them – jlr)
Key Takeaways
∙Senator Sanders’ reaction reveals the Left’s deep-seated emotional fragility when their policies fail.
∙Socialist policies inevitably drive away success, leaving states poorer and more desperate.
∙The Left uses emotional blackmail, inventing motives to avoid debating economic facts.
∙The ultimate goal of a national wealth tax is control, not prosperity—a cage, not a solution.

NYC Opens First ‘Free Grocery Store,’ But It Isn’t What Residents Think
https://americanjournaldaily.com/nyc-free-store-socialism/
It’s the oldest grift in the progressive playbook: the siren song of “free.” They promise a utopian fantasy where the government handles every need, somehow magically exempt from the basic laws of economics. They paint a glorious picture of a benevolent state where no one wants for anything, all provided by the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen. Spoiler alert: it never, ever works…That’s not a dispatch from crumbling, socialist Venezuela. That was the scene in the West Village of New York City, where a so-called “free grocery store” devolved into a vortex of predictable chaos. The images of desperate citizens lining up before dawn, the rationing of tickets, and guards barking at disappointed Americans to “go home” is the inevitable conclusion of any system built on handouts. And there you have it. That’s socialism in a nutshell. When a resource is declared “free,” it is instantly made worthless and scarce. The system doesn’t reward the most needy; it rewards the first, the fastest, or the most aggressive, creating a frantic scramble that turns neighbors into rivals. As one man named Sherrod said after being denied, “I couldn’t get no more food.” This is the cold equation of collectivism: a promise of plenty that delivers only anxiety, conflict, and, ultimately, starvation.

Iran Preparing for War With US
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/iran-preparing-for-war-with-us.html/
Iran’s leaders are talking about a nuclear deal with the U.S., but they are also rushing to prepare for war in case talks between the countries fail. Tehran is deploying its forces, dispersing decision-making authority, fortifying its nuclear sites, and expanding its crackdown on domestic dissent. The moves reflect its leaders’ belief that the survival of the regime itself is at stake…. Iran has also been conducting work at its nuclear sites to better protect them from strikes, according to satellite imagery published and analyzed by the Institute for Science and International Security, a think tank based in Washington. The satellite images show that Tehran has been hardening and strengthening tunnel entrances at its Isfahan site—where Iran is believed to have kept much of its highly enriched uranium and which was heavily damaged by U.S. and Israeli attacks last June—and at a deep underground tunnel complex in what is known as Pickaxe Mountain
(Iran Preparing for War With US: WHY? – 1) They need an internal distraction from the freedom uprising and a reason for the military mobilization, which is being used to try to shut down the uprising. 2) They need to coverup the continuing murder of 1000s of demonstrating citizens – they will be shown, on TV, as killed by US bombing – jlr)

“If these corporations think that the Democrats when they come back in power are going to play by the old rules and say ‘Never mind, we’ll forgive you for all the people you fired, all the policies and principles you violated, all the laws you’ve skirted,’ I think they’ve got another thing coming… Democrats have had a bellyful, and we’re not going to play by the old set of rules.”*************Let that sink in. A former senior White House official openly promising an “accountability agenda” against corporations, law firms, and universities that “took a knee to Trump.” She’s not talking policy disagreements. She’s talking about punishing Americans for the unforgivable sin of supporting a democratically elected president.

Pete Hegseth Comes Under Fire for Meeting the Standards He Demands of Others. Yes, You Read That Right

…What particularly got their goat was Hegseth bench-pressing. What really got them was his pressing 315 pounds. It was nearly a metaphor for Hegseth’s career. He faltered. He almost failed to make it. But when it counted, he succeeded.
vide0 – 00:00:23 – https://twitter.com/i/status/2025400351520616890
The Daily Beast outdid itself in being the most shameful outlet. Hegseth had filmed himself lifting before the Fort Campbell event with his teenage son spotting for him. The headline of their story is Pentagon Pete Berates Son Gunner for Nearly Ruining Publicity Stunt.
The bottom line is that Hegseth is building a bond with the rank and file unlike any Secretary of War/Defense in our history. He’s showing them that he can walk the walk he’s imposing on them. He’s laying down a marker for their bosses, because if SecWar presses 315, you can bet there will be pressure on lots of colonels and generals to be seen lifting weights at the gym. The services are recovering the professionalism destroyed by Lloyd Austin, and the cultural rot is being excised. The competence of the military makes Hegseth immune from attacks in that quarter, so the left has to find something else. And this is the crap they come up with: lying and mocking Heseth for lifting weights with the troops, when most of the critics would be hard-pressed to do a single rep of push-away-from-the-table, much less lift the plates. They do it because it is all they have left.

CDC Scientists Engineer New Chimeric Frankenvirus Combining Nipah Virus Fusion Protein With Paramyxovirus Backbone: Journal ‘npj Vaccines’​
https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/cdc-scientists-engineer-new-chimeric
Some constructs 100% fatal in mammals.​..A new peer-reviewed study reports that government scientists genetically engineered a live paramyxovirus chimera that acquired new membrane-fusion, host-cell interaction, and immunological functions derived from Nipah virus, according to the paper’s methods and results.The move comes as NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently stated that such experiments were not being performed under the Trump administration. “Nowhere in the United States Government will we invest in a project that poses a risk of catastrophic harm to the American people ever again,”

Liberal Judges Declare Themselves President
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/liberal-judges-declare-themselves-president/
Rogue federal judges are no longer content trying to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda with absurd rulings and nationwide injunctions—now they are actually trying to appoint personnel to the executive branch against the chief executive’s wishes. The latest incident happened in upstate New York, where federal judges swore in a prosecutor of their choosing as U.S. attorney. Within hours, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche responded with the constitutional equivalent of a rolled-up newspaper, posting “Judges don’t pick U.S. Attorneys, @POTUS does. See Article II of our Constitution. You are fired.”

Virginia Takes Aim at the Constitution

Virginia has centered on efforts by Governor Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat accomplices in the legislature to override the state constitution, abolish Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting commission, and impose a radical gerrymander on the Commonwealth. Yet another bill adding Virginia to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), which Spanberger is soon expected to sign into law, is potentially just as damaging – not only to Virginia’s Constitution, but the U.S. Constitution as well.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association also complained about detention policy during the High Holy Reign of Saint Barack the Lightbringer: “The Obama administration’s massive expansion of family detention began in the summer of 2014 and will incarcerate thousands of asylum-seeking children and mothers who are fleeing extreme violence in the Northern Triangle region of Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador) this year. This practice is a due process and humanitarian disaster and must end.”…We could just have normal policy debate, again, but first we would apparently need to medicate about a third of the population.

Mexico Explodes: It’s Now Open War Between Cartels, Mexican Military
https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/02/23/mexico-explodes-its-now-open-war-between-cartels-mexican-military-president-flees-n2199453
The United States is now in the interesting position of having a failed narco-state on our southern border, wherein the cartels, enriched by drugs and human trafficking, are directly taking on the Mexican military and the Mexican government. They appear to have set the civil authorities back on their heels, and now the Mexican military is involved. The country has descended into chaos. The cartels have some serious military hardware to bring to bear, and it would be shocking if they don’t have some former military in their ranks – or, worse, current military.

Americans Ordered To Shelter in Place in Mexico Amid Cartel Violence After Kingpin’s Death
https://americanjournaldaily.com/mexico-usa-rubio-americans/
We’ve all seen the glossy travel brochures, right? The ads promise turquoise water, warm sand, and an easy escape just across the border. Places like Cancun and Puerto Vallarta are peddled as idyllic paradises where hardworking Americans can finally relax. We’re constantly told that Mexico is our friend, a partner we can trust. Spoiler alert: it’s a lie. The entire image is a carefully constructed fantasy. Beneath the surface of all-inclusive resorts is a brutal, narco-terrorist state waging a war it has no control over. This is a war that doesn’t care about tourist seasons or international borders. For thousands of Americans who bought the sales pitch, the dream evaporated this weekend when our own government had to issue a startling warning.
“Due to ongoing, widespread security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity in many areas of Mexico, U.S. citizens should shelter in place until further notice. Roadblocks have impacted airline operations, with some domestic & int’l flights canceled in both Guadalajara & Puerto Vallarta. Taxis/ride shares are suspended in Puerto Vallarta. Seek shelter and remain in residences or hotels.”
Key Takeaways:
∙Mexico’s government is incapable of controlling the violent cartels operating within its borders.
∙The chaos in Mexican tourist hubs is a direct preview of the threat posed by an unsecured border.
∙An America First policy of securing our own border is the only real solution to this threat.
∙The cartels are a paramilitary force, not just criminals, and must be treated as such.

The country makes it nearly impossible for average citizens to legally own firearms for self-defense, though several states have seen the rise of community self-defense groups who are arming themselves with illegally obtained guns, including AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles.

BIG WIN: Supreme Court Upholds Trump’s Use of Alien Enemies Act
https://gellerreport.com/2025/04/big-win-supreme-court-upholds-trumps-use-of-alien-enemies-act.html/
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. This decision overturns a previous order that had temporarily blocked these deportations. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for the administration’s immigration policies, though it was a narrow 5-4 decision with Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the dissent. The case remains ongoing, with further litigation expected despite the Supreme Court’s ruling.

It will not comply with a federal court order demanding due process for 252 Venezuelan migrants deported to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador last March under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The Justice Department made that position clear in a new filing, setting up a collision course with U.S. District Judge James Boasberg and a near-certain return to the Supreme Court…The Trump administration views the current legal fight as an extension of that same presidential authority enjoyed by Barack Obama. It sees Boasberg and other judges issuing immigration orders as rogue actors seeking to seize control of enforcement policy from the executive branch.

Ian, what is “Guano-psychosis”? – And “Guano-psychotics”

“Guano-psychosis” is an articulate turn of phrase that I wish I could claim to have invented, but I didn’t. I will, however, claim “guano-psychotics”. It is a delicious and evocative bit of word-smithing that I first ran across somewhere on social media, and it was so eloquent that it immediately stuck in my mind. “But, Ian,” I hear you say, “What is guano-psychosis?” – Good question. It is, of course, a more polite way to say “bat-[deleted] crazy”, but I tend to use it in a more direct, more focussed sense.

What’s going on in Virginia is what happens when Democrats are confident that they have achieved permanent power…Anti-gun Democrats are so convinced that they hold all the power now that they’ve started unraveling anything that might give the illusion that Republicans even exist in the state. Yes, part of that is the gun control. That’s high up on the agenda for any anti-gun Democratic majority, and it’ll absolutely happen the next time they get enough authority at the federal level. While Republicans aren’t exactly tripping over themselves to engage in bipartisanship, the reality is that anti-gun Democrats routinely walk in and start legislating away people’s gun rights, absolutely sure that they’ll hold a permanent majority.

Why should we in the preparedness community care about the lack of interest in preparedness from our fellow citizens? A few reasons come to mind:…Given this, we need to be taking further action to ready ourselves for the fact others aren’t prepared and will likely react poorly during the next crisis. I will tell you I didn’t handle this part of the pandemic well; the incessant calls, emails and texts requesting assistance and criticizing me for not “doing more to help others” took its toll. Which is why need to ready ourselves for this societal pressure and angst which will follow. Some ideas on how to do that follow…Do not underestimate the impact the actions, comments and mindsets of our fellow citizens will have on society during the next crisis. I can tell you from personal experience those things impacted me during the pandemic far more than anything else. I didn’t manage it well; I will do better the next time. I hope you will as well.

VIRGINIA: Loudoun County Trains Staff to Fight ‘Terrorist’ Parents, Casting Parents as Violent Threats
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/virginia-loudoun-county-trains-staff-to-fight-terrorist-parents-casting-parents-as-violent-threats.html/
Democrat government are at war against we, the people. After a student’s death, the Loudoun County School Board staged a closed-door “terrorism” drill portraying parents as violent agitators while excluding the public… a closed-door meeting for school board members and staff only. The subject of the meeting? Responding to “terrorist activity” at school board meetings. According to multiple sources who were in the room but requested we not identify them, the terrorism training involved dozens of actors, brought in by the school board, to act as Loudoun County parents. Those pretend “parents” sat in the gallery in the school board meeting room as actual families normally would. In this training, one of the parents has a gun. The actors were screaming and yelling and running around the room, witnesses said. School board members and staff were instructed to “run, hide, and fight,” much the same as training provided to students in the event of an active shooter scenario.

…the 2030 Census, a structural political realignment is quietly but relentlessly taking shape… not being driven by campaign slogans or cable news theatrics, but by population movement, economic performance, and policy outcomes that are increasingly difficult to ignore…these forces are placing Democrats on the brink of a profound loss of electoral power in the 2030s, one that could permanently reshape the national political map.

Dems now flip-flopping on ICE bodycams they demanded
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2026/02/10/dems-now-flip-flopping-on-ice-bodycams-they-demanded-1621238/
Democrats will never be satisfied, and now the party is flip-flopping on one of their key requests for cooperating on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding – bodycams for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents…“Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) demanded…things have now changed amid concerns that the push for bodycams could backfire, and Schumer and company are walking it back, insisting that restrictions be placed on their use, which some fear will be used to enhance the surveillance capability of federal immigration enforcement…Dems made it clear that they want the body cams but also called for “mandate requirements

Democrats Flip-Flop On ICE Agents And Body Cameras
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/democrats-flip-flop-ice-agents-and-body-cameras
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent a letter to Republican leadership calling for sweeping reforms at the Department of Homeland Security before funding expires on Feb. 13. The letter outlined ten “guardrails” for DHS, including the demand that ICE agents wear body cameras when interacting with the public…the use of body cameras by ICE agents has bipartisan support. Even President Donald has voiced support for body cameras, pointing out that they “generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can’t lie about what’s happening.”…Days later, Democrats reversed course after left-wing privacy advocates raised “concerns” about body cameras becoming a mass surveillance tool. Democrats now fear the technology could feed video of protesters into facial recognition systems, allowing ICE to identify and track demonstrators. “Obviously, we want them to be wearing body cameras, but we would want restrictions placed on what that information could be used for,”…“We want to make sure that we have the accountability for how these officers conduct themselves on the streets of our country, but we don’t want it in turn to be used as a way of coming back and suppressing free speech.”…Democrats went from demanding body cameras for accountability and transparency to proposing legislation that would limit their use within days. The shift suggests Democrats may have realized that body camera footage could work in favor of ICE agents rather than against them. Video evidence from encounters like the Good shooting has already shown that footage can exonerate officers and contradict activist narratives. If body cameras protect agents from false claims…the technology undermines the broader effort to obstruct immigration enforcement operations. That may explain why Democrats are suddenly claiming concern about surveillance and privacy, concerns that were notably absent when they first demanded the cameras.

Lawmakers Overwhelmingly Pass Bipartisan Bill, Dealing with Top Trump Campaign Promise
https://www.westernjournal.com/lawmakers-overwhelmingly-pass-bipartisan-bill-dealing-top-trump-campaign-promise/
The sweeping housing package voted on Monday, passed by a whopping 390-9 margin. — the “Housing for the 21st Century Act” — is designed to boost the nation’s supply of affordable homes. The proposal pulls together several strategies, from encouraging more multifamily construction to allowing taller buildings on smaller pieces of land. It also pushes states and local governments to loosen permitting rules that often slow or block new projects. The bill would create a new pilot program within the Department of Housing and Urban Development to offer grants for developing “pattern books” of pre-approved home designs. These designs would already meet local building codes, making it easier and faster for communities to move projects forward.

But the uber-rich aren’t the only ones relocating for more favorable conservative policies – millions of everyday people are as well.
(The PROBLEM with liberals moving to conservative states is that they bring their liberal values and wants with them, rather than leaving them where they came from. They sell the home that they bought 30 years ago for $50K for $3.5M move to a conservative area, find out undeveloped land is CHEAP and taxes are LOW, buy acreage outside of cities or towns, on on a dirt road, only to find out undevloped mean exactly that – no water, no electric, no hard line phone and maybe no cell connection either, no cable TV, road not paved, no munipal trash pickup, long response times for emergency services, farm animals, few fences, and wild animals. They then go to the town/county government to get these grievances fixed, and are told NO. So they then become politically active and get elected to the city/county government, and then start implementing the fixes they want. Only to find out that they have to raise TAXES to fund the projects. Thus, pissing off families who have lived here for generations. And they can not understand why – jlr)

Breaking Down California’s Insane “Super Bowl Tax”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/breaking-down-californias-insane-super-bowl-tax
…the state will go back in time, all the way to the start of the NFL season in September, and take their ‘fair share’ of the players’ ENTIRE salaries over the entire season…This is what’s known as the state’s “jock tax,” in which they tax non-resident professional athletes based on the number of “duty days” they spend in the state—traveling, practicing, attending meetings, or playing in a game. Both teams arrived in California last Sunday, so each player will log at least eight duty days in the state just for the Super Bowl. They then divide those California duty days over the entire season, and you end up with a percentage. If a player spends, say, 7% of his duty days in California over the season, then the state claims the right to tax 7% of his entire annual salary— at California’s top marginal rate of 13.3%! This is pretty crazy given that the players only earned $178,000 for that game. But in the case of Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold, he’ll end up owing Gavin Newsom roughly $249,000 in state taxes this year. In other words, Sam Darnold will LOSE over $70,000.(The NFL players should refuse to play in any state, esp. CA., that has a “jock Tax” – jlr)

And that makes it sound like this was a marriage of legal convenience seeking to circumvent legal consequences, which may also affect his wife as being complicit in the immigration fraud.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Wednesday morning entirely closing the airspace over the Western Texas city of El Paso for the next ten days, citing “special security reasons,” while classifying a large area over both El Paso and the neighboring community of Santa Teresa, New Mexico as “national defense airspace” under the control of the Defense Department. All flights in and out of El Paso International Airport and nearby regional airports have been canceled or grounded, with even medical evacuation flights being restricted, as local authorities and military officials state that they have received no information regarding the NOTAM.

What we call money was for the longest time gold…It has never quite been valueless and even jungle savages and pyramid builders..The phrase “Not worth a Continental” came about because the Continental Congress decided to print a lot of cash to fight the Revolutionary War. It worked, but the cash became valueless because they printed too much…Then we went to gold because the Constitution said so. Gold worked for a while. There was a reset during the Civil War with the National Banking Act, which made paper “greenbacks” official tender…Then in the awful year of 1913, the Fed® was put into place, and the monkey business began anew. Another currency reset, first for World War I, where they suspended gold convertibility to print for the war machine. Huh. It’s like I’ve heard that before. When the value of the dollar started to increase in the Great Depression, Roosevelt came in and made owning significant amounts of gold illegal…FDR’s Executive Order 6102 forced folks to turn in their gold at $20.67 an ounce, then he jacked the price to $35 overnight…In 1965 LBJ took all of the silver out of the money, too…Nixon took the dollar off of the gold standard as a “temporary emergency measure” in 1971. Temporary, my foot. It was the final nail in the gold coffin, all because we were spending like drunken sailors on wine, women, wars and welfare…………

A Parting Gift for Pelosi
https://patriotpost.us/alexander/125054
Memo to Pam Bondi: DoJ Criminal Complaint to Indict Rep. Nancy Pelosi for Destruction of Public Property…In 2020, you may recall that at the close of Trump’s State of the Union, Pelosi, in front of every member of Congress in a nationally televised event, ripped apart the official copy of Trump’s speech as presented to the Speaker…At approximately 2220 hours on Tuesday, 04 February 2020, the nation witnessed clear and indisputable evidence that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Speaker of the House, committed an act which brazenly and feloniously violates federal law — specifically 18 U.S.C. 2071 and the Presidential Records Act of 1978. Rep. Pelosi willfully mutilated the official signed State of the Union transcript prepared by the Executive Branch for the Legislative Branch. Her actions were witnessed by federal law-enforcement officials in the House chamber. This was also witnessed by members of her political caucus, with whom she likely colluded in premeditation of the commission of this offense.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/nyt-fundraising-gop-winning-midterms
Democratic strategists are warning that fundraising might make the difference in the midterms…Democrats have about $137 million for their campaigns, while Republicans have more than twice that amount, about $320 million, when their debts are taken into account…On top of Republicans’ clear advantage, they also have future hopes of raising even more money from pro-Republican sources. Among these are tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has come back to the party after a public split over the summer, as well as leaders in the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence industries.

TMZ Poll Shows Kid Rock’s Halftime Performance Preferred Over Bad Bunny’s, Leading To Deletion Attempt
https://istandforfreedom.com/tmz-poll-halftime-rock-bunny
Enter TMZ, the Hollywood gossip machine not exactly known for its conservative sympathies. Shortly after the game, they posted a simple poll on X: “Who had the better halftime show—Bad Bunny or Kid Rock?” What happened next clearly wasn’t part of the plan. From OutKick:
With just under 400,000 total votes, the final tally wasn’t even close, with 65% of fans preferring the Kid Rock-led TPUSA halftime show… Apparently, very early on in the poll’s history, the results were so heavily skewed in favor of The American Badass, that TMZ quietly tried to delete the poll.

Congress Suspects ATF Has Gun Registry With 1.1 Billion Records
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/congress-suspects-atf-has-gun-registry-11-billion-records
Originally, in 2021, Gun Owners of America revealed that the ATF was “processing” over 54.7 million “out-of-business records” per year. Following this revelation, a Congressional investigation was started. This investigation uncovered the shocking reality that ATF had over 920 million gun registration records in a centralized, searchable, digital database- in total violation of federal law. In 1986, Congress passed the Firearm Owners Protection Act, or FOPA. A portion of this act bans the federal government from ever keeping a searchable database of gun owners…With this policy, dealers could have their federal firearms license revoked, and therefore would be put out of business, allowing the ATF to capture more of those out-of-business records for its registry. And that’s exactly what ATF did. In the years of zero tolerance, FFL license revocations skyrocketed. ATF broke records, revoking more licenses during the Biden-era than it had in over 20 years. Finally, thanks to President Trump and FBI Director (then ATF Director as well) Kash Patel, the zero-tolerance policy is no more. But ATF’s illegal registry still exists and is still growing. To make matters worse, ATF is currently refusing to respond to congressional inquiry about the registry.

As eight men and one woman patrolled the streets of North Philadelphia on a below-freezing night in late January, they proudly modeled themselves on the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, a group founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in California in the 1960s. The men were following Paul Birdsong, chairman of the newly formed Black Lion Party for International Solidarity, who clutched an MP5 semiautomatic shotgun to his chest. Two journalists from Paris accompanied the group, drawn by Birdsong’s defiant comments about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at a recent protest in downtown Philadelphia.

The math of farming no longer works
https://www.collapselife.com/p/when-the-math-of-farming-no-longer
Crop prices are down 58%, bankruptcies are up 60%, and farmers on both sides of the Atlantic are questioning whether planting in 2026 is even rational.
In Lee County, Georgia, farmer Alex Harrell recently told AgWeb he is planning to cut production of his 6,000 acres by almost half. Despite record yields, he says many growers are now “paying to farm.”…In Arkansas, farmers profiled in a documentary by A More Perfect Union described how they operate at losses of $150 to $350 per acre while they watch emergency aid funds flow straight through them and on to big corporate seed, fertilizer, machinery, and grain giants…in England, fourth-generation Nottinghamshire farmer Oliver Collingham told the BBC last month that the per ton price he is being offered for wheat is below his cost of production. Although this is happening in two different countries, under two different policy regimes, with different weather patterns and different currencies, the pattern is the same.Yikes: Jennifer Newsom Goes Full Angry AWFL on Female Reporters; Even Gavin Seemed Embarrassed

Democrats continue to insist that the hill they are willing to die on is to do everything possible to keep illegal immigrants, even those who have committed violent crimes, in the country…the most ridiculous, and the most telling of all the items Democrats are expecting Republicans to cave to, is their desire to ban immigration enforcement at alleged “sensitive locations.” What is a sensitive location, you ask? Any place of worship, hospitals, and schools. However, they now want one more added to the list: polling locations.
“Why in the world would they (ICE) be there if they (illegal immigrants) are not trying to vote?…
Democrats seem fixated on protecting illegal immigrant criminals at polling places. Democrats energetically oppose commonsense policies to protect the integrity of the ballot.”

SHARIA LAW: Biden’s Taliban Codifies Slavery and Abuse of Women
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/sharia-law-bidens-taliban-codifies-slavery-and-abuse-of-women.html/
This is Islamic style ‘progress’ if the world continues to look the other way. And Biden made it all possible…The Taliban has quietly enacted a sweeping criminal code that explicitly legalizes slavery and authorizes husbands to beat their wives, embedding what legal experts describe as systematic violence into Afghan law. The 119-article Criminal Procedure Code, signed by Taliban supreme leader Haibatullah Akhundzada on January 7, 2026, formally divides Afghan society into “free persons and slaves,” marking the return of a status absolutely prohibited under international law. “The Taliban has now approved the return of slavery in Afghanistan,”…Beyond legalizing violence against women, the code transforms Afghanistan into a surveillance state where dissent itself is criminal. Insulting Taliban leaders carries 20 lashes and six months’ imprisonment. Criticizing any policy the supreme leader endorses, including the ban on women’s education, is a punishable offense. Citizens are granted the legal right to personally punish anyone they witness committing what they deem a “sin,” effectively deputizing the population as moral enforcers (New York Sun).

Foreign-Born Member Of Congress Threatens Republicans With Prison When Democrats Regain Power

This is how banana republics operate and Democrats are furiously accelerating the slide. They protect violent illegals, murderers, rapists etc but doggedly prosecute the political opposition…Foreign-born Rep. Shri Thanedar openly threatened to prosecute his political enemies this week — a reminder of what Democrats plan to do if they get power back. During a committee hearing Tuesday, Thanedar — struggling to speak English — threatened to prosecute Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott when President Donald Trump is out of office. “You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year,” Thanedar threatened. “Your agencies have lost the trust of the American people, with millions taking to the streets to protect the illegal actions of your agencies. And that’s why I introduce a bill in the United States Congress to abolish ICE. ICE must be abolished,”
Not just the foreign born: HAKEEM JEFFRIES ISSUED A WARNING: ,“If Democrats retake power, we’re coming after everyone who doesn’t have immunity.” He added that they will hold everyone in the Trump administration accountable. The Democrats will also hold Trump Supporters accountable if they committed any crimes. Republicans either win now, or face imprisonment later. That’s the choice.

Lawsuit targets FBI, ICE for cartel-linked raid because people were detained with no food for FOUR hours

The media is under fire for portraying a raid on a cartel-linked illegal gambling ring in Idaho as a raid on some innocent family event. Speaking with CBS News, Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue made it clear that the raid last October was part of a four-year-long FBI investigation into cartel activity. “We knew there was cartel involvement in this operation,” he said. “We knew that to be true. [It’s] why we went in.” But that didn’t stop the network from portraying the raid as a “militarized raid on a community horse-racing event”…The media is under fire for portraying a raid on a cartel-linked illegal gambling ring in Idaho as a raid on some innocent family event. The media also complained about attendees, both legal and illegal, being forced to stand around for a couple of hours as the raid was conducted…The latter complaint made it into a lawsuit filed by three Idaho families of citizens and permanent residents. “The families say state and federal law enforcement agencies conspired to use unconstitutional tactics during the raid, including detaining people because they appeared to be Latino; keeping adults and some children in zip ties for hours without access to food, water, or bathrooms; and searching individuals without reasonable suspicion of a crime,”

Originally passed in response to potential federal gun control, Lynchburg was one of many communities throughout the nation that stated its desire to refuse to enforce any unconstitutional gun control laws…Ironically, it was modeled after immigration sanctuary communities that had long been permitted to ignore federal immigration law. The difference here is that the Second Amendment protects gun rights, while the Constitution also gives the federal government authority over immigration. In other words, immigration sanctuaries are unconstitutional, just like gun control.

Records that are 10, 20, or 30 years out of date will have been superseded by the passage of time. Gun owners will have moved, divorced and divided their property, died and left their possessions to their heirs, lost guns, or transferred them in private transactions. Or they’ll just claim that their guns are long gone in tragic boating accidents.

Gov. Tim Walz Demands Feds Pay for ‘Damage’ After ICE Operation Ceases in Minnesota
https://istandforfreedom.com/walz-feds-pay-damage-ice
The governor characterized federal agents as “untrained” and “aggressive,” claiming they left behind “deep damage” and “generational trauma.” He’s now proposing a $10 million relief package for businesses and lobbying the federal delegation to foot the bill for Minnesota’s recovery. Here’s what Walz conveniently omits: those federal agents came to Minnesota because state leadership refused to address the problem themselves. Sanctuary policies rolled out the welcome mat, and local officials looked the other way. And when the Trump administration finally stepped in to enforce laws that Minnesota wouldn’t, suddenly it’s the feds who “broke” things…? Really?

White House Calls Out Obama’s Voter ID Hypocrisy As SAVE Act Passes House
https://istandforfreedom.com/obama-voter-id-white-house/
For most Americans, the idea of showing identification before casting a ballot ranks somewhere between “obviously” and “wait, we don’t already do that?” Yet here we are, with Democrats mounting a full-scale resistance against a measure that enjoys near-universal public support. You really can’t make this stuff up. The House passed the SAVE Act Wednesday, a comprehensive election integrity bill that would require photo ID for federal elections and establish information-sharing protocols between state election officials and federal authorities to verify citizenship on voter rolls.

On Tuesday, February 10, during a heated House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar (Mich.) told U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, “You better hope you get pardoned.” “That’s a threat,” “He didn’t say, ‘You violated the law, and you should be investigated”.  What he said was, ‘When power changes hands, we’re going to punish you for enforcing the law.” That distinction is everything,” “The moment the enforcement itself becomes criminalized retroactively,”  “the rule of law does not merely weaken; it completely flips.”

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee last week released the EU’s previously secret full decision to issue the first fine under the DSA to X (formerly Twitter) in December. It confirms what critics have warned: This law threatens everyone’s basic liberties. Witnesses warned that the European Union’s Digital Services Act has moved from theory to enforcement, and its reach does not stop at Europe’s borders. Lorcan Price told lawmakers that what was once dismissed as hypothetical is now being used to pressure global platforms through fines, investigations, and regulatory intimidation. The message to companies like X is blunt: conform to Europe’s speech codes or pay the price.

Susan Collins Makes a Decision on the SAVE Act
https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2026/02/14/susan-collins-makes-a-decision-on-the-save-act-n4949488
In an exclusive comment to The Maine Wire on Friday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced that she will support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, that requires individuals to provide documentary proof of United States citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections, as well as provide provide an approved ID when casting a ballot. The SAVE America Act is wildly popular with voters. According to the Pew Research Center, 83% of Americans approve of requiring a government-issued photo ID to vote, while only 16% oppose the idea. That includes 95% of Republicans who agree that it should be a requirement, and 71% of Democrats…Many say that Collins, who is up for reelection this year, changed her mind due to grassroots efforts from voters throughout the country.
(apparently Collins thinks that the entire USA was waiting, holding its breath, waiting to find out how this RINO would vote on this bill – jlr)

Your Tinfoil Hat Uncle Was Right Again
https://pjmedia.com/kevindowneyjr/2026/02/13/your-tinfoil-hat-uncle-was-rightagain-n4949468
Remember back in 2015 when your bourbon-chugging, conspiracy theorist “Uncle Kevin” stunned the family at Christmas dinner by stating, “A bunch of rich pedos are trying to form a one-world government. They’ll take away your steaks, cars, and dogs and blame it on ‘climate change.’ They’ll tell you men are women, and label you a ‘bigot’ if you refuse to let them control your mind. They’ll fill your kids full of SSRIs and tell them to cut off their genitals, and they’ll take your children away if you don’t play along. They’ll replace cash with digital currency and freeze your funds if they don’t like your latest tweet. And if you don’t stop saying things these lizard people don’t condone, they will arrest you. While all of this is happening, the New World Order will flood the West with third-world Muslim savages who will rape and murder with near impunity. They will live off of your tax dollars while replacing you by simple demographics. Once they outnumber us, We the People will be hunted into genocide. They want this done by 2030. Don’t give up your guns, and please pass the ambrosia.” Uncle Kevin was right, again. (read the list – jlr) Sure, Uncle Kevin was right about MK Ultra, the Tuskegee experiments, and probably the Kennedy brothers’ assassinations, but those “conspiracy theories” are from a different era. I am talking about the “wacko” stuff Uncle Kevin has been talking about lately.

Conspiracies – Stop making every-day evil sexy.
https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/conspiracies
I understand the allure of conspiracy theories. The human brain has been wired since we climbed down out of the trees to look for patterns. Being able to spot a pattern is what kept proto-hominids from becoming Australopithecus McNuggets in some Pleistocene predator’s Happy Meal. Case in point? Ghislaine Noelle Marion Maxwell. Convicted of, and currently serving time for, trafficking children for the purposes of sex to … apparently nobody. When she gets, I don’t know, pulled in front of Congress, do our elected officials ask about the millionaires she provided children to? Do they ask about city councilmen? Pastors? Instagram influencers? Trade delegates? Fitness gurus? Do they ask about anyone who might have suddenly gained just enough wealth to indulge their depravity? Hell, no. They grill her about the white whales. Trump. Clinton. Andrew. Those single threads that will “unravel the whole conspiracy.” She was convicted in 2022. Four years ago. Four years of no further convictions — because everyone is focussed on the conspiracy-linked Big Names. And the little parasites keep trundling along. Feeding. Destroying lives. Ignored, because the idiot conspiracy theories drive the power and money and resources and time to focus on … bushwa.

Big Hat, No Cattle: 5 Indicted in $220 Million Nationwide Cattle Fraud Scheme

Five individuals were federally indicted this week for their roles in an alleged $220 million nationwide fraud scheme involving purported cattle purchase contracts…As alleged in the indictment, each of the defendants was associated with Agridime LLC, a business headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, that offered cattle sales and meat processing and retail services to the public…“The defendants allegedly used false promises to lure prospective clients into their scheme and then misappropriated client funds to enrich themselves…The indictment alleges that, from January 2021 through December 2023, the five defendants, acting through Agridime, perpetrated a fraud scheme in which they falsely represented to individual cattle purchasers, cattle ranchers, and feedlots that Agridime would use their funds to purchase specific individual cattle for each victim, raise the cattle, and eventually sell the meat from the same specific individual cattle for a profit. In reality, as the indictment charges, the defendants did not use victim funds as promised and instead used newer cattle purchaser funds to pay Agridime operating expenses, pay funds owed by Agridime to earlier cattle purchasers, pay personal expenses, and purchase real property. (Looks to me like a 21st century version of cattle russeling, w/o useing physical cattle – jlr)

Democrat Officials Discard Americans as Collateral Damage
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/02/democrat_officials_discard_americans_as_collateral_damage.html
When aiding and abetting crime is official Democrat Party policy, elections get stolen. Vulnerable Americans are robbed, victimized, and murdered. Entire condominium complexes are handed over to drug dealers and international gangs. Americans are discarded as insignificant “collateral damage.” When the most Democrat-voting county in America treats fellow Democrats as worthless trash, there’s no limit to how much harm Democrats are willing to inflict upon citizens across the United States. The upcoming midterm elections later this year matter. Why?
Because American lives are at stake. IF Democrats see the lives of fellow Democrats as expendable. They certainly don’t care about yours.

“Billion Dollar Movie In One Prompt”: AI Disruption Crosshairs Hone In On Hollywood Studios
AI-driven equity disruption was everywhere this past week, spreading like wildfire beyond software into insurance, commercial real estate, financials, shipping, wealth management, and likely many more industries in the coming trading sessions. One industry in the crosshairs of AI disruption is Hollywood. Some of the publicly traded studios include The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount Global, Sony Group Corporation, Netflix, Lionsgate, and others. On Friday, Axios reported that the Walt Disney Company sent a cease-and-desist letter to ByteDance, alleging that the Chinese tech firm has been infringing on its films to develop Seedance 2.0 without compensation.
Hollywood is living on borrowed time. The next big AI disruption trade could be studios.

Nothing in Common.
https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/nothing-in-common
When this movie came out, I made a beeline for the theater. We are talking two comedic geniuses … OK, one Tom Hanks that was emerging and have already given us great stuff like Bachelor Party and The Money Pit and in the other hand the amazing Jackie Gleason who needed no introduction. I was expecting non-stop laughs from beginning to end and I got some great initial chuckles, and then real acting began. I knew Gleason had the chops for serious stuff but I was amazed by Tom Hanks’s doing a serious role of a clown having to mature in a matter of very few months. At the tender age of 25 and recently married, it struck me hard because I came to realize one day I would have to take care of my parents since I was an only child and still maintain my obligations to my marriage. If anything else, it prepared me to accept what was to come.

Portland Anti-ICE Activist Illustrates a Fantastic Way to Get Shot
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/02/14/portland-anti-ice-activist-illustrates-a-fantastic-way-to-get-shot-n1231551
When a gun is pointed at you, you aren’t going to take the time to measure the barrel diameter to see if it’s a real gun or not. Especially with something like an airsoft gun, which has an 8mm barrel. Unless you can tell a millimeter difference at a glance, you’re going to take it as a real gun. Which means anyone pointing it at you, without you knowing it’s an airsoft gun due to context–you’re at a MilSim event where airsoft guns are used, for example–you’re going to take it seriously and act accordingly. So, when an Anti-ICE whackjob in Portland decided to use one in a drive-by, she put herself in a potentially dangerous situation.

Less Lethal does not mean without consequences.
https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/less-lethal-does-not-mean-without
Somehow, somewhere back in the minds of academics and idiots (but I repeat myself), the narrative about Less Lethal weapons became one of gentle prodding and soothing effects that would magically reduce the misbehavior of law-breaking people. Less Lethal simply means the probability of death is greatly decreased, but pain is going to be still a deciding factor on how your bad behavior will be modified. When verbal warnings and commands do not work, law enforcement will escalate, usually first with Empty-Hand techniques; the problem is that the deranged idiots chasing after ICE take being pushed away as a violation of their Rights (“YOU CAN’T TOUCH ME!”) and feel the need to escalate their misbehavior and do so in mobbing groups. After that, yes, the application of irritants, pain-inducing munitions, and flash-bang grenades comes into play.

It comes from the rotting foundations of the West itself…Todd’s book substantiates the politically incorrect that I’ve been championing forever: nationalism trumps globalism. The West is exhausted, defeated not by conquest but by its own nihilism leading to that most Evil philosophy of all: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”

Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way. What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.

In 2025, Qatar was the single largest foreign source of gifts and contracts to American universities, pouring more than $1.1 billion into U.S. higher education, according to the U.S. Department of Education. That figure comes from mandatory foreign funding disclosures filed by colleges receiving federal aid — institutions required to report any foreign gifts or contracts of $250,000 or more. There is “outright censorship” that comes with the money. The scale is staggering: more than 8,300 foreign transactions totaling $5.2 billion in a single year. This isn’t charity. It’s influence. And it’s flowing directly into the institutions shaping the next generation of American leaders.

Meet Your Baggage Handler. He Hates You.

… it’s hard to know which is worse: the jihad terrorist who wants to see infidels dead, or the foolish and deluded infidels who ignored his bloody intentions in the name of multiculturalism, and gave him a splendid opportunity to realize those intentions. At Toronto Pearson International Airport, there is a man who works as a Station Attendant named Sammy Allouba. According to Rebel News, which exposed this travesty in a Monday exposé, Allouba “unloads baggage from inbound and outbound aircraft. As well, he performs general aircraft maintenance.” That’s a position in which a person of ill will could do a great deal of damage if he wished to do so, and Sammy Allouba is nothing if not a person of ill will: he “goes out of his way to convey hatred against Jews, Israelis, Iranians, and anti-Hamas Palestinians. All the while he glorifies the terrorists who tend to massacre such people.”

The Great Leftist Pivot to the Center Is Upon Us — and It’s All a Lie
https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/02/17/the-great-leftist-pivot-to-the-center-is-upon-on-us-but-its-all-a-lie-n2199241
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
It’s a timeless quote, and for good reason: if you fall for the same scam twice, the second time is on you. Obviously, I wasn’t fooled by Joe Biden and his claims to be moderate as he ran for the presidency in 2020, but even so, I admit to being taken aback by just how hard the left turn he took upon taking office turned out to be. Many voters were fooled, of course, and we’re still paying the price for that today…If anything, the Democrats have become even more extreme since those sad old days, and have waged a disgusting propaganda war against our federal law enforcement agencies while promoting political violence at every opportunity. All of a sudden, however, they smell the midterms – and they’re pivoting like Olympic figure skaters attempting quadruple lutzes. It started slowly back in March of 2025, when extremist California Gov. Gavin Newsom admitted on a podcast that allowing males to compete against girls and women in competitive sports was “deeply unfair.” It was an obvious play to the average American voter, who values sensibility — but the elaborately coiffed guv has done nothing since to stop the practice, and in fact, a boy just cleaned up in track and field at the California Winter Championships
That will become a theme of this article.
Progressive leadership has utterly failed California, and it will fail you, but vote for us anyway:

A section of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line failed on January 19, 2026, in Montgomery County, Maryland, releasing more than 920 million liters (243 million gallons) of untreated wastewater into the Potomac River. By volume, the incident ranks among the largest documented municipal wastewater spills in U.S. history. Elevated bacterial concentrations prompted recreational advisories and shellfish closures while emergency bypass operations continued into mid-February.

Harmeet Dhillon to Look Into Karen Who Reported TPUSA to Child Protective Services

Maybe you were out doing something romantic on Saturday and missed our story on the boomer Karen who told a school board that they were MANDATED to file reports, as she had, with Child Protective Services after Turning Point USA held a recruiting event at a high school trying to establish a Club America chapter. And they handed out free snacks! Nancy Krause argued that the event was child abuse and that “students are widely recognized as vulnerable populations, they are in critical developmental stages, and especially susceptible to influence.” We wonder how she feels about “gender-affirming care” for high-school students, or anti-ICE walkouts with their teachers.

We all saw this coming. Not because we hate our neighbors. Not because we fear prayer. But because we understand history. We understand symbolism. And we understand that culture never collapses all at once. It erodes. Quietly at first. Then loudly. A tweet making the rounds this week shows video of the Islamic call to prayer, the Adhan, echoing through New York City streets at dawn. Five in the morning. Amplified. Projected over neighborhoods that still carry the scars of September 11, 2001. That date is not ancient history. It is a living memory.

Rubio Drops the Hammer on Tufts Visa Case: ‘No One Is Entitled’

An immigration judge terminated removal proceedings against Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk, who was detained for over a month last year as part of the Trump administration’s effort to target and deport international students and activists involved in pro-Palestinian advocacy…If immigration court procedure could effectively override executive visa authority, the State Department’s statutory power would be reduced to suggestion… Rubio reframed the entire issue. I’ve said this repeatedly. I don’t know why it’s so hard for some to comprehend it, so let me repeat it again. A visa. No one is entitled to a visa. There is no constitutional right to a visa. A visa is a permission to enter our country as a visitor. If you enter our country as a visitor and as a visitor in our country, be it a student, a tourist, a journalist, whatever you want to be, and you undertake activities that are against the national interest, the national security of the United States, we will take away your visa. In fact, if we knew you were going to do it, we probably wouldn’t have given you your visa.Kristi Noem Lays Bare the Democrat Dishonesty As FEMA Works Without Pay to Clean Up DC Sewage

The third Democrat-fueled shutdown continues apace as the purported party of leadership and compassion holds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding hostage because it wants ICE “reforms.” As has been reported, they know that ICE and Border Patrol have already been fully funded through the One Big Beautiful Law. So, the only agencies affected by this shutdown are TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA…Democrats in Congress have shut down @FEMA funding—leaving our hard working employees to work without pay—yet FEMA is now stepping in to coordinate cleanup of one of the largest raw sewage spills in U.S. history. Thanks to gross mismanagement by Maryland’s Democrat leaders, hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage has reportedly been dumped into the Potomac River—flowing straight through our nation’s capital and endangering millions of people, wildlife, and the entire DC region’s water supply. Democrats are withholding paychecks from the men and women of @dhsgov while they clean up this Democrat-created disaster. Unbelievable hypocrisy.

Gas prices are the highest in the nation thanks to Democrats in general and the impeccably coiffed Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom in particular. For years now, they have tried to drive energy producers out of the state, and now they have succeeded. Refineries are shutting down. Entire companies are up and leaving…California has been forced to get gasoline from the Bahamas. Yes, that’s right: Newsom’s California is buying gasoline to be shipped through a Caribbean country, and having it sent, by tanker, through the Panama Canal and hence to California.

Trans Shooters: The Patterns Are Well Established
https://pjmedia.com/eric-florack/2026/02/17/trans-shooters-the-patterns-are-well-established-n4949591
The lesson that comes from encouraging mentally ill people to indulge their insanity and to express violent hatred against those who do not affirm their illness is written in the blood of children killed at the high school hockey game…there’s the case of Robinson himself, who was romantically involved with Lance Twiggs, himself another victim of transgenderism, and who, according to contacts within his family, “hates conservatives and Christians,” and who, according to other sources, influenced Robinson’s politics in the year they had been dating… “This shooting comes a few days after a mass shooting committed by a transgender-identifying young man in Canada, who murdered his mother and 11-year-old brother.”…Bondi Beach, in Australia, which not only matches the pattern under discussion but also points out the fantasy that banning guns will prevent such attacks…”How many transgender shooters does it take to stop leftists from lauding the delusion that one can change one’s biological sex and demand everyone agree?” I would only add it’s time to treat the mental illness like we used to and not play into and reinforce the delusions. We’re costing lives playing this game. It needs to stop. And perhaps we should be looking at treating transgenderism itself as a mental illness, again. The indicators are clearly there.

Pelosi Appears To Have Picked Their Candidate For President In 2028

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) may be retiring from Congress at the end of this term, but she’s not done trying to shape presidential races. The 85-year-old former House speaker has turned into what one former aide calls “a Gavin fan-girl,” deploying her legendary donor network and political capital to boost California Gov. Gavin Newsom as a 2028 White House contender. The move lands as a calculated slight to Kamala Harris, who polls ahead of Newsom nationally but appears to have lost Pelosi’s confidence after the 2024 debacle.
