For Iran: Where Is the "Euro Army"???

 We are reminded that some people think only the US should redress grievances.  This is Roger Kimball, for example:

 ...One thing that is fog-dispersing, though, is the extraordinary armada that Trump is sending Iran’s way. Six B-2 bombers and assorted other aircraft are already at the Chagos Islands base of Diego Garcia, “the silent launchpad of American power in the Indian Ocean.” Four C-17 Globemasters, full of war materiel, are joining them. Last week, it was reported that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier group was steaming from the South China Sea towards the Middle East. Just a day or two back, it was reported that a second aircraft carrier group, led by the USS George H. W. Bush, was en route to the Middle East. That’s more than 150 warplanes and thousands of Marines. At the same time, large amounts of military equipment, including U.S. air defense systems, are being transferred from Europe to the Middle East.

Many commentators, noting Trump’s oft-proclaimed desire for “peace on earth,” believe he has paused to see if negotiations with Iran might end the slaughter. I doubt it. Trump’s desire for peace is perfectly genuine. ..

No, that ticking sound you hear is not the world clock. It is the countdown to Iran’s liberation. Let us hope that it encompasses not just the obliteration of that horrible Islamist regime but also the unraveling and supersession of radical Islam itself. As the world has seen repeatedly since 1979 when the Ayatollah Khomeni returned to Tehran from Paris, it is a perverted, misogynistic, and death-embracing ideology masquerading as a religion. ...

Gee, Roger.  Europe is a few thousand miles closer to this bunch, and Israel is practically next-door.

Why the Hell are US blood and treasure put at risk instead of those of France, England, Germany, Denmark (heh), and Italy?

Anyone else notice a problem with this??? 

 

AWFL Wimmins Whine About "AWFL"

 Took a while, but the NYT is now on the warpath.

 

...“Beyond labels and name-calling, the death of Ms. Good and the protests and anger in its wake have sparked a response from many on the right that is particularly targeted at white women in the streets, even though men have been just as involved,”...

 ...  The term AWFUL [also AWFL] is not the first derisive name targeting white women. People across the political spectrum once gleefully targeted so-called Karens, a term meant to denigrate women — usually white and middle-aged — caught using their privilege to bend the world in their direction.

 And the use of AWFUL emerged well before Ms. Good was killed. Conservative critics began attaching it to female protesters at least as far back as last summer....

The acronym so scandalized the New York Times that it even tattled to the Department of Homeland Security about it and its growing popularity.

They found 'psychologists' and 'social science' types to negatively analyze those who use the term.

Yah, well.  Sit on it and rotate, you miserable AWFLs. 

Is A.I. Really All That?? Maybe Not

The Wisconsin-area local governments like Port Washington who are delivering Big Sloppy Wet Kisses to the "A.I." crowd would be well-advised to re-think their thinking.  Several times.  Over a period of 2-3 years.

Why?

Long story short, Open AI--one of the pioneers--is not looking too good.

....an analysis of OpenAI's finances suggests they could run out of money as soon as 2027. (Tom's Hardware)

If you're wondering why the beancounters at the big memory manufacturers are being wary of rapid expansion in the face of unprecedented demand, well, it's because they are able to read a spreadsheet and they do not like what they see....

We don't like beancounters either.  But they are often right (except back in the '60's at Chrysler, where they were spectacularly wrong.)

Previously, another astute observer (ex-banker) noticed a problem with the way Microsoft is placing its bets on AI--that is, they are placing the liabilities on companies NOT spelled "Microsoft."  That is a big F'n hint, too. 

Think all those AI barns are going to be occupied in 10 years?  5 years?  Wanna bet your personal money and property on it? 

Benji's "Greater Israel" Plot Goes *POOF*

The "Greater Israel" plot which would have expanded the borders of Israel in several directions (to include Syria?  Hungary?  London?  New Delhi??) appears to have gone *POOF* under the Trump plan.

 Israel may be displeased with President Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has surprisingly come out claiming that  the President’s Gaza Executive Board was “not coordinated with Israel and runs contrary to its policy.”...

MAY have?

The plan includes a "Board" which--HORRORS!!!!--will include a member from Turkey AND a member from Qatar.  That would explain the enormous amount of slash-and-burn remarks made about Qatar and Tucker Carlson, who happens to like that little country.  Carlson is taking it on the chops from the likes of 'Tel Aviv' Levin and 'Jerusalem Benny' Shapiro, yet Tucker keeps getting more subscriptions while Benny's little propaganda-op's listeners diminish.  Huh.

Of course, there's more!!!

 ...Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir calls for a "return to war with enormous force," and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich claims that the body is made up of "states that breathed life into Hamas."

“The Gaza Strip does not need any ‘executive board’ to oversee its ‘rehabilitation’ — it needs to be cleared of Hamas terrorists, who must be eliminated, alongside the encouragement of large-scale voluntary emigration — in accordance with President Trump’s original plan,” Ben Gvir said....

Gee, Ben, would that include bombing the piss out of every square inch of land occupied by Palestinians (or Syrians, or Iraqis, or Buddhists, or Greeks.....) like you've already done to Gaza?

That's what you call "encouragement"?

Not on OUR dime, Benny.  GFY. 

This is precisely why Trump met with Tucker last week.  That was a signal to the Stern Gang Wannabees that their genocide campaign had better come to a halt.

Think they'll take the hint? 

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

 There is a very good reason--in fact, several hundred BILLION reasons--that the Big Central Government can be the cause-of-death to countries.

Ask the Russians how Big Central worked for them before Putin dragged the country away from total bankruptcy/chaos.  But we digress.

 

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a technical appendix to its 2015 fraud risk management guidance this month, aimed at helping federal agencies strengthen how they prevent fraud in U.S. government programs. The reason? Many still lack basic safeguards.

Previous GAO reports have revealed the extent of fraud across the federal government.

A report from 2024 showed that the U.S. loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud, based on data from 2018-2022....

Call it ~$350 BILLION A YEAR

SIX YEARS.

$1.8 TRILLION

We've jokingly stated that pushing all of the D.C. metro area into the Atlantic would solve a lot of problems.

We're not wrong. 

The P.I. Lawyer Wrote This Toyota Story

 Most of you 14 readers know that Toyota has a hydrogen-powered car available.  It is sold overseas, and on a very limited basis in the USA, specifically California.

As you read the linked article, notice how the P.I. (ambulance-chaser) "shaped" (wrote) the story.

When you read words like "many" [buyers complain] you know that the actual number is.......very small, indeed.

When you read that "Toyota lied" [about the car's features] you know that the buyers are Virtue Signalers who did not listen to the sales guy, or chose to "forget" what they were told AND SHOULD HAVE READ in the Owner's Manual.

When you see alleged hits to the buyers' (how many?? We don't know) credit score being solely due to skipping payments on the cars........well........sure...........right.  No doubt.  

Didja notice the ultra-vague narrative about the $15K "cash toward fuel" vs. the "six years free fill-ups" part of the story?  Wanna bet which 'award' these buyers took?  Hmmmmm???  Think maybe their need for cash had anything to do with their "credit report" problems?   Hmmmmmm???? 

And what--exactly--was Toyota supposed to do about hydrogen supply-chain problems?

...It took about 3 milliseconds to pull up this review from Car & Driver.  Did the buyers try this technique for obtaining knowledge?

 This provides up to 402 miles of emissions-free driving between refills, according to the EPA,...

NOT "according to Toyota."

... but the limited hydrogen refueling infrastructure...

Oh.  No ExxonMobil of Hydrogen on every corner?  Who knew??

But it does suck on acceleration and "passing pop."

 Oh--by the way--there are a crap-ton of 'fueling' and 'range' problems with EV's, too.  Read any P.I.-written stories about them lately?

"News reporters" love to take phone calls from lawyers and activists.  That way, the "highly-trained professionals" don't have to actually ask questions, or hang around City Hall or the Capitol to learn about what is really going on.

Trust few of them. 

The New FBI (!!)

A number of slimebucket FEEBs have yet to be indicted, convicted, and flushed down the toilet with the other sewage, but it appears that Kash Patel is getting other important work done.

 ...The FBI announced on Saturday that it had arrested Alejandro Rosales Castillo, who has been a Ten Most Wanted Fugitive since 2017. 

FBI Director Kash Parel said Castillo was arrested in Mexico on Friday....

... “Alejandro Castillo is the fifth FBI Ten Most Wanted fugitive captured since last year, more than the entire previous four years combined. That reflects leadership, not luck,” Patel said in a statement. “When law enforcement is given clear backing and the freedom to act, results follow. The work of the FBI Charlotte field office, our state and local partners, and Mexican authorities was exceptional, and this arrest finally opens the door to long-overdue justice for Sandy Ly Le’s family.”...

IOW, the Feebs are no longer hunting down anyone who was within 100 miles of D.C. on J6.

Also of note:  the Mexican authorities cooperated...... 

Cuba!! Libre!!!

It's OUR hemisphere, Dr. Feser, so liberating people from murderous regimes which also provide FOBs for Red China and Russia.......well.........we don't like them.  (Tell us, Dr. Feser:  does THIS go against the teachings of St John Paul II???)

 ...the United States has deployed two major amphibious assault ships — USS Iwo Jima and USS San Antonio — to waters just miles north of Cuba. These are not routine patrol vessels. These are power-projection platforms designed for rapid deployment of Marines, aircraft, and heavy equipment. Military analysts are paying close attention — because moves like this are never random. When amphibious strike groups reposition this close to a hostile or unstable region, it usually means one thing: Washington wants options on the table. No announcement. No press conference. Just steel quietly sliding into place. History shows that before major decisions are made, the board is cleared… and the pieces are positioned. Whether this is pressure, deterrence, or preparation — the message is unmistakable: America is watching...

It's taken long enough.  Fidel imprisoned Cubans in the early 1960's and his Communist regime has tortured, murdered, and/or Gulag-ed tens of thousands of them ever since.  

Think the current set of dictatorial slimebuckets will get the Venezuela Hint?  

Rubio might have another assignment to add to his portfolio... 

Is There a Lefty Training On This?

This happened in North Dakota.  The incident is from March, 2025.

Merely a co-incidence that the (now room-temperature) goblin is alleged to have had children in the car and has a history of mental disturbance and aimed directly at an officer who was gravely injured??

Sure.  Co-incidence. 

 

Walz' Desperation Move? The National Guard

He's feeling the heat of a US Attorney investigation focusing on his total non-cooperation with the Criminal Removal Unit of ICE.

 

...Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) mobilized the state National Guard on Saturday as anti-ICE protesters have taken to the streets in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety confirmed the mobilization in a post on X, saying that troops are currently engaging in staging exercises. If deployed, they will be armed and will wear reflective vests to distinguish themselves, the Minnesota National Guard said....

A shipment of TimmyTampons for the male members of the Guard has not arrived, which delayed the deployment.

 

 

The AWFLs Are Screeching in Waukesha

If you watch the clip, you will notice that the reporter's number is deceptively accurate.....

There are--perhaps--two hundred.  So, technically, there are "hundreds."

But any March-A-Round that includes Ms. Lawein is not large. 

Another video shows--perhaps--three hundred.  But that one, just like the first one, also shows that the March-A-Round bunch was 1)  white; 2) largely older; and 3) female-dominated.

The news directors at Channel 4 and Channel 12 didn't think this was worth sending a crew.

They were right. 

Black Men "Easily Brainwashed": Clyburn

Oh.  Well, that explains it.

 ...Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) responded to President Donald Trump increasing support among black male voters by saying that “people are easily brainwashed.”

Host Margaret Hoover said...  “Donald Trump had increased his share of black male voters by double, by 50%.”

Clyburn responded, “Simply because people are easily brainwashed.”...

Must be the same bunch who cannot obtain an ID and cannot operate a computer or smartphone.

Sure, sure. 

Surber Gets It....

Don Surber righteously calls out PowerLine.

 ITEM 28: The Times of Israel reported, “White House: Iran called off 800 executions following threats from Trump.”

Power Line’s reaction? “Did Trump Chicken Out Again?”

You can take the fool out of Never Trump Land, but you cannot take the Never Trump out of the fool.

But PowerLine has an excellent comics segment--largely because it's not loaded with Mossad crap propaganda. 

Surber best be careful before he gets the Tucker Treatment. 

The "Muslima's" REAL Fear

Amusing.  Although it's not likely that she knows the history.....we'll give it a run.

 Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib went on an emotional rant about the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recruitment posts on social media during a Friday shadow hearing in Minnesota....

 ...Tlaib held up a printed Jan. 9 social media post by the DHS’ official account, shared across multiple platforms, that depicted a mountainous landscape with a man riding a horse in the right corner. The photo featured text that read “we will have our home again.”...

Hmmmmm.

Man riding horse.  Repossession of "our home."

Here's what that 'Muslima' saw in her little head:  

 

"Highly Trained Professional's" STUPID Question

 If these are "highly trained professionals," America is sunk.

 

Denmark vs. Greenland Inuits: the Sanger Solution

This sounds very familiar.

Native Greenlander Amarok Petersen was 27 years old when she learned the gut-wrenching truth about why she couldn’t have children — and that Denmark was to blame. 

Suffering from severe uterine problems, a medical doctor discovered an IUD birth control device in her body that she didn’t know she had. 

Danish doctors had implanted it when she was just 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women. ...

Oh yes, there's more!

 ...Even in adulthood, medical decisions were made without Petersen’s consent. Plagued with problems after the IUD, she had repeated surgeries for unexplained pain. It wasn’t until years later that doctors informed her that her fallopian tubes had been removed in one of the operations in the early 2000s.

Her family also suffered under Denmark’s so-called “Little Danes experiment,” in which Greenlandic children were forcibly sent to Denmark for adoption or institutional care — often permanently separated from their families, she said.

The program, which ran from the 1950s through the 1970s, was part of Denmark’s broader effort to assimilate Greenlandic children, often without parental consent.

It happened to her mother’s brother, Petersen said. Other relatives were subjected to medical experimentation, she added....

The United States happens to be THE guarantor of Denmark's independence.  Now it appears that Trump and the US would be the guarantors of Inuit fertility and tradition. 

Yet they call us "raaaaaaacisssssss."

Groceries AND Electricity Prices. Where's the "MSM"?

There is a lot of concern about the price of groceries.

First thing:  those prices rocketed up during the Biden Autopen-Cabbage regime, not during Trump's administration.

Second thing:

 ...A 1997 grocery receipt recently resurfaced showing a 122 item purchase from H-E-B totaling $155.34. When that same order was recreated using today’s prices, the cost came out to $504.11. That is not a small increase or a rounding error. That is more than triple the price for the exact same food. ...

Let's skip the 'what about wages' discussion here, which would be a legitimate offset point.

Instead, let's note something else that Biden (and Obozo, and Bush the Dumber) did to you while "saving the planet":

Electricity costs in Wisconsin have ALSO TRIPLED since 2000.  You can live without steak.  But you cannot live without electricity.  By the way:  food stores and food processors also pay wildly inflated energy costs.  

It's not just Wisconsin, either. 

 ...William Vanderhoop, a member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah, has run Tomahawk Charters, a whale-watching and charter-fishing business for decades. In a statement announcing the lawsuit, Vanderloop said his business has also been devastated by the turbines. 

“The Biden Administration chose a big, foreign-owned wind company, Vineyard Wind, over local businessmen, hurt my business and jacked up our electric rates in the process, all in the name of a big green lie,” Vanderhoop said. 

Pronk said that the energy bill for his freezers was about $500 in the summer, but it’s now up to $1,800 some months....

The demolition of that Nantucket industry increases the cost of seafood, ya'know.

Yet we still (allegedly) have "climate change."

You will have pre-historic living conditions and you will love it. 

Fed "Judge" Forcing Insurrection Declaration

Here we have another "Democrats Be Democrats" story, along with 'Another black-robed DEI appointment takes the stage story.'

...[Fed judge in MN] Menendez’s order bars Homeland Security and ICE officials involved in Operation Metro Surge from “using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity.” The judge also prohibited federal agents from stopping vehicles following them, as long as those vehicles are maintaining a safe and “appropriate” distance....

To a great degree, that ruling is a big "Doh!!"  The prohibitions are utterly useless--except to lawyers who will be raking in mint (paid by taxpayers) for 'civil rights violations' which are purely a matter of judgment by on-scene officers and commanders.

 More serious:  the ruling tends to push the Government into a declaration under the Insurrection Act, bringing in the 101 Airborne or perhaps a couple of MEUs.

Note well:  the 101st was called in to counter the deliberate civil rights violations in Arkansas perpetrated by the Democrat Governor and Democrat Mayor of Little Rock.

Notice anything about that? 

 

Re-written Scripture in Spain

A synod in Spain has an agenda including discussion of a 'temporary priesthood' and--of course--wimmin priests.

"You are a priest forever for a while, according to the order of Melchizidek Cdl Cobo." 

Takes nerve, eh? 

Not Just "Oil." Not Even Close.....

Trump's decapitation of the Drug/Crime/Rape cartel in Venezuela was never really about "oil," no matter how hard the Democrats and MSM (BIRM) try to make it so.

It was about getting Mexico, Colombia, and a few other countries in our hemisphere to straighten out their acts- - or else.

It was also telling Red China to leave.  Now.

 ...“The U.S. ouster of the Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro,” the Journal reported, quoting anonymous Chinese officials, “is forcing Beijing into a high-stakes recalculation of its ambitions in a region that looks like America’s backyard again.”

This is multipolarity. “The discourse in China’s policymaking circles has shifted toward a potential trade-off,” the article said. “If the Western Hemisphere belongs to the Americans, then the Taiwan Strait belongs to the Chinese.” The best guess from up in the cheap seats is that Beijing’s analysts are exactly right. President Trump will let them have Taiwan, at least to some politically palatable extent. But China must get out of our backyard....

By the way, Trump & Putin understand each other very well:

... in late December, Russia had already begun a quiet evacuation of its Venezuelan diplomats’ families. “Moscow, which publicly denied a news report on the evacuation,” the Journal said, “didn’t inform the Chinese of its plan.” It sounds like Putin enjoyed the benefit of a heads-up— and didn’t tell anyone. Weird!...

Or not. 

Ted Perry's Looming Insanity

 It is more and more evident by the month.  Ted Perry--former "Bucky Badger" is losing his grip on the Real World.

During last night's broadcast (the 5:30 portion), Perry mentioned the story about the ICE agent in MPLS who shot and killed the insurrectionist-Barbie.  DHS issued a statement saying that 'the agent suffered from internal bleeding' as a result of getting whacked by the insurrectionist's vehicle.

Perry--in an incredible moment which betrayed his Hard Left self--remarked that 'some people disagree' on whether that agent had internal bleeding.

Yah, well, Teddy:  'some people disagree' that the Earth is round-ish, too.

This marks another giant step toward Teddy Perry's long-term visit in an asylum.  Too bad.  He makes a great Bucky Badger. 

Finally!! Trump Gets the Ukraine Sitch

 Took Trump a very long time to do elementary discernment.

... In an interview with Reuters, President Trump was asked why the Russia/Ukraine negotiations appear to have stalled.  President Trump responded with one word, “Zelenskyy.”...

Looks like Russia gets its territory (eastern Ukraine) back.  US will probably walk out soon.

Good. 

Doctors to Avoid

Now and then we give free advice to our 18 readers.  Today?  Which doctors to avoid!

In this clip, a doctor-ette named Nisha Verma refuses to answer the question "Can Men Get Pregnant?"

She holds an M.D. from the University of North Carolina's med school and now teaches at Emory in Atlanta, and practices her very own brand of "medicine" in that city.

So--if you're in Atlanta, and are in need of a physician claiming to be an OB/GYN, use your brain.  Avoid "Dr. Nisha." 

 (Might be interesting to inquire about what UNC's med school teaches on that subject.  Remember that it was a UNC doctor who developed Covid-19, too.)

"Warrantless"?? Read It and Weep

 Here's something that the Archdiocesan-paid lawyer doesn't tell you.

... ICE officers “are sworn federal law enforcement officers who operate within the confines of the law. Section 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides ICE officers the authority to arrest aliens without a judicial warrant,” ICE explains. The agency notes: 
 

“In fact, no judge in this country has the authority to issue a warrant for a civil immigration violation. Congress, by statute, vested this authorization solely to supervisory immigration officers.”

  “Local police officers don’t need a warrant when they encounter someone breaking the law in a public space, and the same holds true for ICE officers.”...

So an Administrative Warrant is sufficient for arrest of illegals who are violating the law.

Gee.  Wonder why that wasn't mentioned by the Archdiocesan-paid lawyer.  Hmmmmm??

LOCK HER UP!!!!

Let's see how they like the Steve Bannon treatment.

 Bill and Hillary Clinton have officially refused to testify in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — defying subpoenas and risking being held in contempt of Congress.

The former president and Secretary of State were scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill for closed-door depositions Tuesday and Wednesday. But, in a letter to House Oversight Chair James Comer, attorneys for the Clintons said their clients would not be complying....

Screw that old bitch and her "husband." 

Global Banksters Back Powell (!!)

 With friends like these, it's more and more clear ..........

 Global central bankers issued a statement Tuesday defending U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell following the launch of a criminal investigation into the central bank chief.

“We stand in full solidarity with the Federal Reserve System and its Chair Jerome H. Powell,” central bank chiefs including European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, said in a joint statement. ...

There's a reason that Americans are suspicious of the Fed.

Even moreso now. 

ADDED:  Ticker presents the numbers.  Apparently Powell is spending about 300% of the typical price.  And he swore he didn't know .........stuff....... 

The Throckmorton Proposal

"Buck Throckmorton" is the pen name of a sagacious businessman who writes for Ace of Spades and a couple of other publications.  He's not a bomb-thrower but he does not pull punches.

He has a suggestion for Donald Trump:  hold a 4-person colloquy on the Courts.

 ...perhaps President Trump might compel a reluctant John Roberts to take action in a more genteel way. Quite simply, the president can organize and host a summit of the leaders of the three branches of government to discuss constitutional roles and responsibilities of the branches of government they lead, and how they constitutionally interact with each other. There should be just four attendees at the summit: President Trump, Chief Justice John Roberts, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune....

The discussion will center on Article Two's first sentence, of course.

Throckmorton has ideas!!

 • Ask Roberts, Johnson and Thune their understanding of the role of federal judges, what constitutional powers they have, and why.

• Ask Roberts if he defends the rogue activism of district judges. If so, explain why. If not, advise why it is being allowed.

• Discuss what the Executive and Legislative branch “checks” on the judiciary are in our “checks and balances” system. What powers do Congress and the Executive Branch have to check rogue judges?

• Should there be more balance in the application of checks and balances? Courts are very aggressive about checking other branches’ powers. Why are there no checks being imposed on the judiciary?

• Ask Roberts his opinion on judges who are routinely overruled. Is repeatedly being overruled by appellate courts a sufficient reason for impeachment?

And most importantly…

• How will Chief Justice Roberts respond if/when Trump announces that rogue federal judges have no constitutional authority to manage the executive Branch, and Trump will no longer comply with their rulings....

There is not enough time to run all the obnoxious, unjustified, or just plain obstreperous "rulings" through the appellate process, and--frankly--the more the Rogue Gang plays its silly game, the more the Common Man in this country grows impatient--and angry--with them.

Something that Roberts should consider for a nice three-day weekend.  MLK weekend will do. 

Colombia Caves to Trump

 Perhaps the most significant benefit-effect of the VZ apprehensions is beginning to play out in Colombia (and, shortly, in Mexico).

 

    .

..The Trump/Petro talk lasted 42 minutes in which the Colombian president agreed to:

    1) Implement bombings against FARC and ELN dissidents.

    2) Start fumigation with glyphosate on illicit crops.

    3) Lift the suspension on extraditions of drug lords.

    4) Guarantee free, transparent, and secure elections for the opposition.

    5) Collaborate in the restoration of Venezuela.

    6) Strengthen security on the Colombia-Venezuela border to combat groups like the ELN when they attempt to cross the border fleeing the new order imposed by the United States.

    7) Stop persecuting the opposition.

    8) Peacefully and quietly abandon the Casa de Nariño on August 6, 2026. Petro has already begun fulfilling these 8 points, which is why he will soon have a meeting with Delcy Rodríguez....

Some of this may not play out completely, as the Narco-Terrorists are likely to resist.

The fools who think Trump's biggest goal in VZ was petroleum are many, and myopic.

Scaring the living s**t out of Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and Bolivia was most of it, and so far it's working.

Are THESE Doc Rivers' BFFs??

 Earlier we mentioned that Doc Rivers thinks we should stop drop-kicking people out of the US.  "We're not like that," or something to that effect.

Oh, really?  Are these people the ones he wants to KEEP HERE?

.. Sriudorn Phaivan, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of strong-arm sodomy of a boy & strong-arm sodomy of a girl with a deportation order since 2018. Tou Vang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of sexual assault and sodomy of a girl under age 13 and procuring a child for prostitution with a deportation order since 2006. Chong Vue, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of the strong-arm rape of a 12-year-old girl and kidnapping a child with intent to sexually assault her, with a deportation order since 2004, Ge Yang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of strong-arm rape, aggravated assault with a weapon, and strangulation with a deportation order since 2012. Pao Choua Xiong, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of rape and child fondling with a deportation order since 2003. Kou Lor, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of rape, rape with a weapon, and sexual assault with a deportation order since 1996.....

There are more.  Lots more.

Maybe Doc wants to keep them in his home?  Because we sure don't want them in OURS. 

Crowd-For-Hire Stays OUT of MN

The guy who runs Crowds-for-Hire will not contract with the hard-Left protest leaders in MN, or OR.

Why?

... "A lot of the people protesting on the streets are actually violent," he said. "They are unhinged, unstable people who pose a risk to peaceful protesters. That’s why we’re staying out."...quoted at RedState

The bullhorn people--the ones running the shows--are not, of course.  They stir the pot with the hope that something will go horribly wrong, like what happened in Minneapolis.  You will notice that the 'leaders' never get shot and rarely get injured.

There's a reason for that:  they have their cannon-fodder; the unhinged and unstable--or the less-than-rational AWFLs and students.

Reality bites, no? 

US Into Iran??

 Rumors are flying, and the Pizza Index has leapt up.

Looks like Trump will lead the US into battle against an enemy of Israel.  

How much "battle"?  We don't know.  

Will it settle things in the Middle East?

Maybe for a couple of weeks--or months--or years.  But certainly not permanently.

The Big Question:  Cui Bono??  Who benefits?? 

You have to ask????? 

John Harbaugh in Green Bay? Hmmmmm.

 Matt LeFleur is a nice young man.  He was successful with the team that Mike McCarthy built but a lot LESS successful with the team he built.

 ...While new president Ed Policy shouldn't ignore LaFleur's 70-36-1 record, it's also hard to overlook that his teams have won just one postseason game since 2020 and has three playoff wins in seven years....

And his offensive schemes have become very easy to defeat.  Ask anyone in Chicago.  Or Denver.  Or Minnesota.  Or Cleveland (!!!!)

Or Baltimore--which just fired its eminently successful head coach, John Harbaugh.

Hmmmmm. 

Was It the VZ Oil? Only Partially

When Trump arrested the dictator(s) of Venezuela, he mentioned the petroleum in that country.  He mentioned a lot of other things, too.  The oil is nice, and will be used to pay debts to US oil companies and to support the citizens of VZ, even though the regime has nearly ruined the oilfields over the last 20 years.

But petroleum is NOT the only reason.  Not by a long shot.

VZ is also a hemispheric center for the development and manufacture of Iranian drones.  It is also a center for drug transportation. VZ was also preparing to invade and conquer a portion of Guyana which just so happens to be sitting on a massive reserve of petroleum.

Most important?  The VZ Government imprisoned its own people in a mini-Gulag. * 

Will the petroleum output of VZ grow and become a staple of that country's income?  Maybe.  But Trump is playing for far higher stakes, the most important of which is the liberty of the citizens of Venezuela.

* The "mini-Gulag" argument will be used by Trump when/if he drags the US into a battle with Iran.  Trump hopes you won't notice that Iran is 10,000 miles away but VZ is just a day-hop from Florida.  BIG difference.....

Hey Doc: Stick With Buckets. You Sound More Intelligent

 The head coach of the (not-winning) Milwaukee Bucks gets into legalities.

... Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers spoke about the Minneapolis ICE shooting, calling it “straight-up murder.”...

... Moreover, Rivers claimed, “This lady was probably trying to go home, and she didn’t make it home, and that’s really sad…The whole ICE thing is, it’s a travesty....

We will agree that it was a tragedy.

Don't you have a basketball team to run, Doc?

Doc has opinions about ICE in general!!

... on October 11, 2025, he criticized ICE arrests in Chicago, saying, “It bothers me, I’m trying…that’s not this country. That’s not what we’re about.”...

They have rules in basketball, don't they?  Based on your remark, enforcing those rules is 'not what we're about.'

Stick with buckets.  Please. 

Trump & Bernie vs. Banksters (And WI Legislators, Too!)

Childers has an interesting thesis:  that Trump's call for 10% limit on credit-card interest was a signal for the House and Senate to proceed with legislation (already in the queue) making it so.  It's bi-partisan in both houses...

But there's more.

...For most of American history, every state enforced usury laws— hard caps on interest rooted in English common law, Biblical prohibitions, and the ancient Code of Hammurabi. Charging excessive interest wasn’t clever finance; it was a crime with criminal penalties, including prison.

That thousands-year-old law changed in the late 20th century, when the Supreme Court ruled that a national bank could charge customers anywhere in the country the interest rate permitted by the bank’s home state. In 1981, Delaware promptly saw the opening, became the only state to strip away its interest-rate limits, and the credit-card industry stampeded in. Overnight, one small state’s policy nullified the usury laws of 50 states, and ancient protections against predatory interest vanished without a single national vote....

Now, rape-and-plunder rates are "authorized" by lots of States--including Wisconsin.  Banks (and credit unions and finance companies) have a lot of sway in Madison.  It's easy for them to spend a crap-ton of money, as they are robbing certain people blind.

What people?  Glad you asked!!

 ... Credit card companies protest that if they’re forced to comply with usury laws, people with poor credit will lose access to credit altogether. Others reply: that’s the point. Usury laws exist precisely to protect desperate, vulnerable people from predatory interest rates— not to guarantee banks a revenue stream at any price....

THOSE people.  (Is it a co-incidence that the casinos' advertisements are directed to the same peeps?) 

Now, then.  Would you like to see which Wisconsin legislators are......ahhhh......extremely friendly........to the banksters?

Check out this page right here.  These legislators want to "cap" rates at THIRTY-SIX PERCENT.

... Senators Jacque and Cabral-Guevara, cosponsored by Representatives Allen, Rivera-Wagner, Anderson, Goodwin, Gundrum, Knodl, Kreibich, Ortiz-Velez and Stroud....

Jacque likes to play the Morality Card.  Perhaps he should re-think the "morality" of 36%.  And why are obviously-Hispanic leggies on the same page with the Banksters??

Check their campaign-finance statements. 

Putin to Ukraine: "FAFO"

 Ukraine lobbed a missile into a town which has one of Putin's houses back about 10 days ago.

Putin said Russia would respond.  At the link there is a map showing various missile strikes, but the one heading to Lviv (Lvov) is the "FO" missile.

 ...Notice the red line, a single line heading out to Lviv, which was a launch of a Russian "Oreshnik" ICBM.  That single missile impact vented then started a fire in the largest natural gas underground storage facility in all of  Europe; Seventeen Billion Cubic Meters of natural gas is now burning-off, out of control, in LVIV.

This is the price Ukraine pays for its drone attack last month against Russia's Presidential Residence. Their capital city is now uninhabitable and the rest of the country will have little to no natural gas for heating the rest of this winter....

Kiev is largely un-inhabitable.

 

...Mayor Klitchco of Kiev has told city residents they should EVACUATE KIEV because after Russia's massive attacks last night, the city has no electric, no water, and no heat.  None of those things can be repaired anymore....

At some point in time Trump will discern that he cannot "solve" the problem of Zelenskiy--and the British obsession with keeping Russia out of the eastern part of Ukraine, which is historically Russian territory.

Victoria Nuland and her Cabal of Evil should be the ones paying the price that Kievans are paying; for that matter, The Cabbage-Autopen and his Satanic Spawn should, too.

But they won't--in this world. 

Channel 4 Tells Half the Story. Surprised?

 You don't have to read far into this ...........story...........to notice that something important is missing.*

... Good was shot and killed by federal immigration agents during an enforcement operation....

What's missing?

The part about Good attempting to kill the ICE officer with her car--which decision caused her to lose her life.

BTW, the Turners Club is a Socialist organization; that's the way it was founded 100 years ago or so.  (Many Socialist organizations have become communist agitation groups in the last 50 years.)

Context matters, ya'know.

Wisconsin to Parents: "Screw Yourselves!"

 Not a surprise.

 

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services on Thursday reaffirmed its recommended childhood vaccine schedule after recent changes at the federal level....

The "No Kings" bunch didn't think of "No Queens," so Kirsten Johnson assumed the position.

... "The CDC's new recommendations were based on a brief review of other countries' practices and not based on data or evidence regarding disease risks to children in the United States," DHS Secretary Kirsten Johnson said in a statement....

Because those other countries are filled with ignorant witch doctors who do fire dances to appease the health gods??  Or because their children are dying off more rapidly than they can procreate?  Do those countries have funny water?  Are the cows different?  The air?  Are their experts just stupid because they don't follow the Pfizer/J&J directives?

No.  Those countries have less "autism spectrum," and less crib-deaths.  

So the reason Wisconsin parents are ordered to get their kids punctured 90 times??

It's because Queen Kirsten says so.  

We could ask the Queen whose pockets were stuffed before she issued her Royal Decree..........but that would be "journalism."

CDC's new schedule actually has science behind it from more than a dozen first world countries, unlike the schedule pushed by such as Pfizer.  And we all know Pfizer's track record.

NO QUEENS!!! 

School Cancelled in Minneapolis? Here's Why

Yes, the public schools in Minneapolis have been cancelled for tomorrow (Friday) including after-school activities.

Why?

This is easy!!

So the Teachers' Union members can go out and parade around with silly signs looking for trouble, just like that deceased "legal" observer who obtained her law degree from Barney Fife Law School. 

Is it not curious that she and her "wife" moved to the Twin Cities just in time for her to "legal observe" and create problems for Federal law enforcement?

Hmmmm??? 

Channel 12 Censors MSP Shooting Video

Anyone who pays attention to the news knows that the ABC affiliate in Minneapolis (Channel 5) had video of the shooting (go to 5:00 in this post) from an excellent angle.  It was above the ground and from the front of the car, unlike the home video used by the Leftists.

So why didn't Channel 12--another ABC affiliate--use that video?

Maybe they didn't want you to see it, as it showed the woman's attempt to run over the ICE agent very clearly.

It's not what they tell you.  It's also what they DON'T tell you. 

EXTRA:  Pursuant to an egregious lie in the combox, here's a significant picture:

 

Another Paid-On-Call Protest!

A woman in Minneapolis chose to defy police orders and attempted to run over a Federal agent with her SUV.

The agent reacted by fatally shooting her before she attempted another murder.

So, the Paid-On-Call "demonstrators" showed up--all 80 of them--in downtown Milwaukee, complete with the Most Usual Suspect, Christine Neumann-Ortiz from the CPUSA front called Voces de la Frontera.  The pay is usually $50.00/hour; not bad for a bored AWFL.

*Yawn* 

Another day passes.
