Is a 12-gauge enough?

 

Bullet Points:

** If you recall, ride the wayback machine, but not long ago. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) directly threatened SCOTUS judges whose rulings he didn’t like: “You’ll never know what hit you, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, you’ll reap the whirlwind.”

** Leftists routinely act as if changing the name of a thing changes the thing itself. Calling sodomy “gay” or pedophilia “minor-attracted” suddenly makes sexual perversion a matter of personal taste, like preferring blondes to brunettes.

** Illegal Aliens – among us. (NY POST) A Georgia college student faces deportation after she ran a red light, and authorities discovered her entire family has been illegally living in the US for nearly 15 years. She was transported to the Whitfield County Jail, a partner of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(G) program, used to identify illegal aliens in the country. “This program operates based on a series of reviews and background checks completed only after an inmate is already arrested for an Offense under Georgia Law,” the jail’s operation guide said. Arias-Cristobal was processed through the federal database, which confirmed she wasn’t a US citizen. She was brought to ICE’s Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Ga., where her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar, is also being held.

** Do not trifle with a groundhog. FAFO.

** A culture invested in shaping character helped make people resilient by giving them ideals to cling to when times got hard. In some ways, the old approach to moral formation was theoretically egalitarian: If your status in the community was based on character and reputation, then a farmer could earn dignity as readily as a banker. This ethos came down hard on self-centeredness and narcissistic display. It offered practical guidance on how to be a good neighbor and friend.

** Is it true that people who have a prenup tend not to break up?

** Inflation isn’t when prices go up. Inflation occurs when the money supply increases faster than the production of goods and services. Rising prices are a symptom of inflation, not the cause. This distinction matters because it reveals the true culprit: government printing money, not corporate greed.

** That ratty old wig is restricting blood flow to what was never a very good brain in the first place. This tiresome shill has Feinstein/Biden written all over her. She has no idea what the words on her binder that she blathers mean…it’s embarrassing, but she is a Democrat from Kalifornia, so you can be as senile and incompetent as you want, you’ll still win till you die at your desk. I’d call them reptiles and insects, but that would be an insult to reptiles and insects….

** 40 banks went under in one week in China! Eventually, the PRC will find its bottom, and we need to allow it to do that, no matter how long it takes.

 

Meme of the Day

 

The African Development Foundation

“A foreign aid official who refused the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to his agency’s financial records may have had a reason to keep auditors out: he steered illicit contracts to a friend who sent him secret payments, according to a law enforcement affidavit obtained by The Daily Wire.”

Mathieu Zahui, chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, refused to grant DOGE access to its books and told the White House that the agency would not acknowledge President Donald Trump’s appointee as board chairman.

After a dramatic showdown in March, DOGE physically took over the building with U.S. Marshals. Still, control of the agency is now the subject of a lawsuit objecting to “swooping in with DOGE staff, demanding access to sensitive information systems” — an objection that reads differently in light of the criminal probe.

For years, workers at the small, USAID-adjacent federal agency focused on Africa have told oversight bodies about allegations of self-dealing, procurement violations, and mysterious offshore bank accounts, many of them involving Zahui. But little was done about it, several told The Daily Wire.”

You’d think that Mathieu Zahui would have welcomed Musk, a fellow African.

Unexpected!

A new hero has emerged for the leftists. He is a pro-Hamas, anti-Semite Columbia student (unexpectedly!) from “Palestine” (unexpectedly!), here on a green card (unexpectedly!) named Mohsen Mahdawi. Mahdawi was taken into custody by ICE, but has been temporarily released on bond on the order of a US District court judge in Vermont. (Unexpectedly!) Of course, that judge is an Obama appointee — Unexpectedly!

And the Dems are already beginning to transfer their schoolgirl crushes from Kilmar to Mohsen. Mohsen looks like an Arab Luigi Mangione, and he’s got the soft-spoken, peace-loving protestor routine down pat. CBS and the NY Times have already given him tongue-bath interviews. (Unexpectedly!)

I just came across a group called Canary Mission, which documents and publicizes people and organizations that promote hatred of the US, Israel, and Jews. They’ve put together a great two-minute video of Mohsen spouting some soothing talking points about how his activism “is centered in the energy of love.” Hilariously, the video intersperses Mohsen’s assertions with video clips and pics that belie his words. He says, “Antisemitism has no place in our movement.” Cut to him holding a microphone wearing a keffiyeh, in the middle of three other people, under the chyron, “Mohsen surrounded by anti-Semites.”

He says, “My compassion is also for the Jewish people.” Cut to him standing on campus, using a bullhorn to drown out a small group of students calling on Hamas to release the red-headed Bibas babies, whom they eventually murdered, along with their mother. (In that clip, Mohsen has a hateful smirk on his face that made me wish the IDF had placed one of their pager charges in his bullhorn.) My favorite part of the video is when Mohsen mournfully accuses the IDF of killing six of his cousins and his uncle. Cut to a photo lineup of scowling “Palestinian” terrorists, one of them holding an AK-47, identifying them as his cousins and uncle.

It reminded me of a mafia movie scene where an old gangster looks through wedding pictures. “Sammy the Bull, Fat Tony Salerno, Frankie the Blade Lucchese, Big Paulie and Little Paulie Genovese. All of them upstanding Italian Americans, unjustly harassed by the police!”

What’s up with Fetterman?

Last week, New York Magazine ran an alarmist story about his health, with the tagline, “John Fetterman’s Struggle: The senator insists he is in good health. But staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew.”

If you didn’t know what a left-wing rag NY Mag is, you might think that Fetterman has had another stroke, or a heart attack, or is possibly collapsing regularly and bleeding from the eyes. But suppose you were a certain hilarious genius with a fully functional wizard hat. In that case, you might guess that Fetterman is continuing to make more sense, which his leftist handlers regard with alarm.

The story has various members of his staff hysterically getting their dresses – or in some cases their gender non-binary onesies – over their heads because Fetterman has demonstrated such ominous signs of dementia as… wait for it… disbelieving that the IDF is bombing “Palestinian” “refugee” camps full of “innocent civilians,” and… wait for it again… considering not voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for SecDef! One of his key advisors, who quit last year, captures the article’s tone: “I hope Senator Fetterman gets the help he needs.”

The story is unintentionally funny, and it perfectly sums up the elite left in a nutshell: When Fetterman shuffled around like a stuttering, lobotomized mental patient who would vote for whatever they put in front of him, they praised him to the skies! But now that he’s occasionally making sense, they think he’s lost his mind.

The Most Trusted Name in News

Did you catch the CNN interview with a Sinaloa cartel member? They put him in a disguise and altered his voice, and the interviewer talked to him as if he were an aggrieved victim of unfair accusations. She said, “According to the Trump administration, you are a terrorist. What do you make of that?”

The guy answered, “Well, the situation is ugly, but we must eat.”

Of course you do. And of course, the CNN dope didn’t push back at all. Because who among us hasn’t been in that poor criminal’s situation?

I remember my junior year in high school, when I’d smuggled some fentanyl into study hall, shot two of my rivals execution-style, and sex trafficked several of my female classmates for cash, and I got caught. Boy, my dad was mad when he got called to the principal’s office with me! But I said, “Dad, if I didn’t sell drugs, pimp out my girlfriends and assassinate my competitors, what would I do for lunch money?” Everyone agreed that I’d made a compelling case. So I spent a few years in prison and missed my graduation, but used my time inside wisely, and four years later, I was paroled at the same time that I graduated with a correspondence course degree in Critical Race Theory and landed a job as a reporter at CNN.
