750,000 Attend Brewers' Parade/Rally

Milwaukee cops estimate 750,000 peeps were present for the Brewers' parade through downtown and at the destination Summerfest amphitheater.  Bartenders at Summerfest estimate that they consumed 250,000 beers at that place alone.

Not surprising.

We made a journey from Mequon to 'Tosa, using I-43 and I-94 to I-41 at about the time the parade was over.

Dumb move.  Took about 45 minutes to get from Center St. on I-43 to Hawley Road on I-94. Even with the construction, that's normally a 15 minute drive.  

And some of the other drivers were.....ahhhh.....not too cautious, which signaled a potential alcohol problem. 

Nancy vs. El-Sayed; It's Bigger Than That

 Pelosi is--arguably--the second-slimiest individual EVER to sit in Congress*.  You may argue that McConnell is, but we say it's Nancy.  She orchestrated J6, planning the event's entire course of events so that from beginning to end it became TRUMP'S FAULT; she made certain that the National Guard would not be available; she plotted with Comey to have 250 FEEBS circulating in the crowd, she most likely plotted with SPLC to have plenty of agitators in place........and, of course, she plotted and planned every single (D) Party's attack on the Constitution and Conservatives, not to mention her attacks on morals and mores through legislation over the last 20 years.

*(Slimiest was Hillary Clinton.  Pelosi's dead body count cannot ever match HRC's.)

Anyhow.

Even Nancy can't take what she brought forth.

 Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticized Michigan Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, stating that his radical views on Israel were “more than concerning.”...

Nancy chose that ground--Israel--because she knows that the Democrats can NOT lose Jewish backing.  

But that's a decoy.  The NYT has run stories on the (D) election deception in AK and named Marc Elias in that story.  Elias is a Friend of Hillary, not of Nancy.  The NYT has also outed Ilhan Omar who--by no co-incidence--is despised by Pelosi. 

Not co-incidence, friends.

The Herd's "Whoops!!!": AI

Yes, the herd mentality exists in American industry.  Most recently, The Herd decided that AI was the thing to do.

So The Herd did it.

Ooops!

 Shares of Intel plunged roughly 25 percent in premarket trading Friday after the American semiconductor giant issued a sharply disappointing sales and earnings forecast...

...The unexpectedly bleak outlook sent Intel shares tumbling more than 25 percent before Friday’s opening bell, threatening to wipe out more than $120 billion in market value. ...

The reason for this collapse?

 ...The selloff was particularly dramatic because Intel shares had more than doubled this year as investors bet on a revival of the company’s fortunes amid the artificial intelligence boom....

Oh.  AI!

To be fair, Intel's business model included personal computers.  Those sales have been down; some question whether the PC market will ever revive.

The AI Herd-damage extended to Google.

 ...[Google's] Q3 earnings call highlighted strong search query growth and the significant role AI Mode played in driving it. The company described its year-over-year query growth as its strongest in five years, including more searches with commercial intent, tying it to double-digit growth in Search advertising revenue.

Yet the earnings call made it clear that there’s a gap between the query growth and Search advertising revenue: AI Mode is driving additional queries, but those interactions generate less advertising revenue...

Eating its own lunch, so to speak.

Even Meta is taking a hit on the "AI" thing.  And there are others:

 ...Heading into this week, fears were mounting about the financial health of neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius, which are facing rising borrowing costs and a dearth of lenders as they pursue aggressive AI buildouts. Anthropic gets much of its capacity from Amazon, Google and SpaceX, but it also relies on neoclouds for some compute as it races to expand as quickly as possible.

Now investors are growing increasingly worried about the whole AI trade.

“It’s a great technology, seems to do things that we never would have imagined, but how does that then translate into a viable business?” David Hsu, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, said in an interview....

 Being in The Herd is good for a time.  The trick is to get OUT of the Herd before things go south. 

BTW, some are noticing the financing structure behind those Data Centers now chewing up thousands of acres of land nationally, and that financing structure is beginning to shake, rattle, and roll.  Not in a good way.

Ticker for the roundup essay.

Lula & Biden, Sittin' in a Tree......

Very familiar path here.

 The government of recently reelected socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva this week announced a sweeping series of social media censorship measures with the alleged intention of fighting what it called “electoral harassment” in Brazilian workplaces.

The new policies empower Brazilian institutions with the ability to demand the takedown of political content published on social media platforms that is deemed to constitute “harassment” or “discrimination” against Brazilian workers. The Brazilian Attorney General’s office left open the possibility of potential judicial measures to “fight” said kind of online content....

The measures have NOTHING to do with fig-leaf "workers" and EVERYTHING to do with protecting the Lula Regime.

Took the instructions straight from the Biden Guide to Tyranny, which Biden took from Obama, and which Obama took from Stalin, mutatis mutandis. 

If you like that, be sure to vote blue! 

The Party of Crooks and Liars

 Voting for Dirt McGurk Crowley?

Even the NYTimes is getting out while the getting is good.  They have outed Ilhan, outed Peltola, and have broadly hinted that Marc Elias is next.

Add to them "Sanitary Pads" Walz, his crooked A.G., the revelations about the Michigan governor-ette and her SOS.....not to mention the Islamist/Communist Senator-wannabee in Michigan, the ineffably horrible Newsom, Adam Schiff.........

The Democrats are exactly what we thought.

Really want to put another one in the cross-hairs of the Attorney General and the FBI?

Really??? 

Minnesota's Autism Grift in Wisconsin?? Not Really

 By now, Grifter Ripoffs in Minnesota is not really a headline; it's just another day ending in -y.

So this is no surprise:

 ...The Justice Department also announced charges against 15 defendants in May in connection with alleged health care fraud schemes involving more than $90 million in intended losses. The cases included an alleged $46.6 million scheme targeting Minnesota's autism intervention program, which DOJ said saw Medicaid claims surge from more than $600,000 in 2018 to more than $400 million by2025  --quoted at AOSHQ

Well, let's look at Wisconsin!

... The ADDM Network publishes ASD prevalence reports in CDC’s MMWR Surveillance Summaries....

...2020. On average, 2.8% or one in every 36 eight-year-old in the 11 ADDM Network sites was classified as having an ASD....

Not bad.  Never good, but not bad.

But let's go back a bit:

... 2002. On average, .7% or one in every 150 eight-year olds in the 14 ADDM Network sites was classified as having an ASD....

That's a 400% jump in 18 years; and there's a bit more:

 ...The percentage of 8-year-old children identified with autism increased in southeastern Wisconsin, from 2.8% in 2020 to 3.8% in 2022....

The survey indicates that autism is more prevalent in low-income areas.

Now, the spending:

 ...Medicaid spending on autism therapy in Wisconsin grew from $39.9 million in 2018 to $53.7 million in 2022, with audits revealing significant improper payments in the program....--DuckDuckGo search assist

Oh.

Well, it's not Minnesota Class (the Gold Standard of theft), but it's a lot of money.  The intriguing part is the "low-income" area disparity, but that's up to an investigator to figure out.  Won't happen if World-Class Dummy "Dirt McGurk" gets elected, but.....

What's "Minnesota Class"?  $600K in 2018 to $400 million in 2025. 

FBI Wants National ALPR Coverage/Access

There is a "maybe/if" in this story, but We Told You So.

Apparently, having cameras monitor motorists across the country is not enough. The FBI, whose current director, Kash Patel, once railed against its surveillance abuses and proposed turning its headquarters into a “museum of the deep state,” now wants broader access to the information those cameras collect. The proposed system could allow federal agents to track Americans’ movements nationwide, with data arriving in near real time. ...

Section 702 is not enough, you see.  Having access to every call, text, and email you ever sent or received is not enough, you see.  WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AT ALL TIMES, you see. 

There is a (possible) halt to this request:

... The FBI’s plans are detailed in a federal solicitation first published May 11 and subsequently amended. The bidding period closed June 17, and the solicitation is now listed as inactive. That designation does not indicate whether the bureau has awarded or abandoned the contract....

"Inactive." 

You be the judge..... 

We Call Him "Joe Fu**", Troy

The jackass you work with (for now) has always been a jackass, Troy.

We have never, ever, thought well of him--and that "we" includes a lot of people up here.

You're better off spending time on the links, or in a sauna, or even just mowing your lawn at home.  ALL of those are better options than spending time with Joe F**k.

 

Just Another Democrat Election Fraud....

 "Motor Voter" registers illegals to vote; "Mail-Out (to WHOM)" ballots sent to sketch "people" at sketch "addresses," block windows for the Big Steal,  -- now a brand-new Democrat Election Fraud scheme -- one of TWO election-fraud schemes operative in Alaska.

 Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy on Wednesday ordered an investigation into whether Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola's campaign should face criminal charges or civil penalties for recruiting a candidate who shares the name of Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan...

... Senior Peltola advisers and aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee helped recruit Dan J. Sullivan, a retiree from a small Alaska fishing village, because his first and last name match the incumbent's, according to The New York Times. Text messages the Times reviewed show the Peltola campaign and the DSCC discussed the recruitment for months. Both Sullivans, Peltola and Gerald Heikes will appear on Tuesday's ballot...

This one stinks so bad that the NYT "investigated."  That means that the NYT was TOLD to "investigate" by a Democrat higher-up. 

Why would a Democrat tear into one of their own?

To cover up the REAL fraud-scheme in Alaska:  "Ranked-Choice" voting--which makes a Democrat victor guar-an-f*n-teed.

Too bad, Ms. Peltola.  

"Should you get elected, you'll be in an Alaskan jail anyway.  Sacrifices had to be made, you know."--Signed, Democrat National Committee  

Estee Lauder Heir Negative on Israel

Well, this is something.

Quoting an item from Trita Parsi, who notes this item from Lauder:

... “Ronald Lauder has never lived in Israel. But in the past year the Jewish billionaire, who serves as president of the World Jewish Congress, has given up his remaining properties in the country, a sign of the deep shift in his views of its future. A deep sense of disgust appears on his face as he recounts this. “I’ve sold my apartment in Tel Aviv, I gave my home in Be’er Sheva to the Jewish National Fund, of which I’m also the chairman. I basically cut my ties there. Because it has become so…,” Lauder grimaces, making a gesture of vomiting.

He goes on to blame Israel for failing to make peace, explaining that Israel actually didn’t want peace:

“I realized at the end of the day that Israel really didn’t want peace, but they wanted dominance. And I walked away from it.”

“You’ve lost the Democratic Party, and you’re losing the Republican Party. And it’s all because of foolishness on your part. I want to tell Israelis, ‘Shame on you! Shame on all of you. Your fathers and your grandfathers fought for this place, and you’re losing it because of foolishness. Period.’”

I think this reflects the view of many who fought to establish Israel/supported its creation, but at the same time believed in peace. Perhaps an unjust peace, clearly a peace on Israel’s terms - but a peace nonetheless.

But Israel has long swapped dominance and control for peace, and it has taken quite some time for many of its original supporters and champions to realize it - and admit to themselves the direction Israel actually is going in....

The last two grafs are Parsi--but No Lies Detected. 

Rome's Confusing Signals on Liturgy

 Yes, there are lots of confusing signals coming out of Rome.  The rude and provocative "Go Away" to the Old Rite pilgrims at St Peter's is one.

Here's the counter to that very disappointing incident:

 The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has published this Thursday, October 22, Venite ad me (“Come to me”), a new document on the transmission of the faith that recognizes the importance of the liturgy, the beauty of worship, and the different sensibilities present in the Catholic tradition. The text, conceived under the pontificate of Francis, signed by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández Saraz, and approved by Leo XIV, addresses the Church’s difficulties in transmitting Christianity to new generations amid contemporary cultural transformations....

OK.  This is a Franny1/Leo document, written by CDF.  It has horsepower behind it.

 ...“With due respect for the currently valid liturgical norms, pastors are called to highlight the richness of the Catholic liturgical heritage,” the text affirms, citing as an example the variety of musical styles that form part of that heritage....

 ...According to the Dicastery, through gestures, words, silences, and symbols, the faithful participate in the mystery being celebrated and receive a faith that has been lived and transmitted by previous generations.

The text recovers the traditional principle lex orandi, lex credendi, which expresses the relationship between the Church’s prayer and its faith, and underscores the importance of forming believers to understand liturgical language....

You can almost hear them approve Usus Antiquior.

...[Citing Romano Guardini], Through this latter testimony, the document acknowledges that there are different forms of prayerful participation, including silent contemplation of the rites. Guardini highlighted the capacity of the faithful to welcome the sacred through sight and contemplation, even during prolonged celebrations. ...

 ...The document also affirms the value of popular piety [the prayer to St. Michael?] and traditional expressions of the Catholic faith. The Dicastery recalls that these practices have made it possible to preserve and transmit Christianity even in adverse cultural contexts....

It should be clear that there is a war going on in Rome between ultra-progressives and 'mild traditionalists' in the context of the liturgy and other matters.  It seems that Leo is in the latter camp, but--like Trump in the secular arena--undercut or actively resisted by long-tenured snakes.  [It would help if Leo were far more careful about his off-the-cuff remarks to the press.]

Oremus. 

Soccer Paper: World Series "Boring"

Some tabloid based in England managed to find a few people who called the World Series "boring."

In England, they play soccer--so they know the definition of "boring."

And the few people they found?  Obviously did not watch games One and Two, which were nail-biter/edge-of-the-seat contests.

Did NOT know that Newspaper Bias extended to sports.

Notice the "Wobbles" in Your Devices??

 The Market Ticker can tell you why your Apple phone, or MS browser, or Spectrum network, or your VPN or ad-blocker, occasionally goes wonky-wobble for a while.

...Virtually all technology-related firms have, for more than two decades, fired or laid off their best and most-competent people.  Most of them here in America were Americans.  They replaced said people with H-1bs, OPTs, CPTs and similar, most from India but not all, with many who do not even actually have the skills claimed and none of them have the experience which is why they're cheaper.  Doing this also instantly destroys the pipeline of new people in America coming into the field and the transference of said knowledge to the next generation as these foreigners are not citizens and never will be; they at best want green cards and send huge amounts of their earnings home where they intend to return after basically "mining" America for a wage that is several times what they can earn at home which permanently takes their acquired knowledge with them.

The latter problem does not show up for years or even decades but when it does the outcome is ruinous and impossible to rapidly correct as the knowledge is quite-literally lost.  The people who had it are either out of the workforce and will not return due to being previously screwed or are dead and went to their grave without passing on what they knew to the next generation.

Leaving aside outright fraud, kickbacks, race-based hiring and similar all of which is illegal between that importation and the export of the jobs themselves by moving entire departments out of the United States because its cheaper to not have to comply with US labor standards and taxes you are inevitably firing those who know the most simply because they've been there the longest and destroying the pipeline that transfers knowledge from those with gray hair like myself to the younger generation that ought to ultimately take our place and further advance the state of the art. ...

Most times, the small corps of Old & Experienced Guys that did NOT get pushed out the door and replaced by Curry-Eaters can diagnose and fix the problem.  But "Most" is not reassuring with national defense tech, nor for personal finance-tech goodies--like online banking or loan websites.

When MS forced its last OS (from 10 to 11) change into the market, Spectrum stability went bonkers.  But field-level techs did not know it was MS 10 (the old OS) causing the problems with stability, so the techies repeated the same temporarily-useful "fixes" again, again, and again, with the same problems re-occurring.  It's possible that Spectrum did not care--with them that's always a possibility--but it's more likely that they simply did not know.

Imagine that! 

  

Surber Nods

Don Surber is one of the best pundits in the US.

But even Surber nods.

... ITEM 11: Senator Elissa Slotkin, D-Ranged Michigan, said, “Right in the last two weeks of the election, they [Trump’s administration will] somehow come up with a national security incident that only they can protect us from.”

Elect retired CIA agents, get paranoia....

Wrong, Don.  That last line should read:

Elect retired CIA agents, get Insurrection-by-Color Revolution.

 

Israel Controlled Biden, Too

 Apparently Israel's command of US Presidents did not start with Trump.

 When confronted with warnings that famine was spreading across northern Gaza in early 2024, members of President Joe Biden’s foreign policy team could not believe what they were being told. The alarming reports came from U.S. agencies and respected international humanitarian groups, but they starkly contradicted Israel’s version of events. ...

... Not only were staggering numbers of Palestinians desperate for food. They lacked clean drinking water, medicine, and shelter. They were being torn to pieces—in many cases by U.S.-manufactured bombs—as the Israeli military  kept up its relentless offensive. Yet the president and his top aides failed to meaningfully exert their influence to alleviate the suffering. Instead, their response was shaped by credulous deference to the Netanyahu government and disregard for both U.S. and international law....

There is a pattern, and it repeats.

 ...Netanyahu and the fanatics in his coalition were bent on conquest and ethnic cleansing—and not in Gaza alone. They eventually expanded their war to southern Lebanon, while also giving free rein to rampaging settlers in the West Bank. Herein lies another disastrous Biden legacy. His failure to restrain Israel in 2023-24 dramatically accelerated the regional instability the increasingly enfeebled president said he and he alone was qualified to prevent....

Shakespeare was anachronistically correct on the Middle East:  "A pox on both your houses!" 

Pp Leo's Forgetfulness

 Here's a news item:

 

Pope Leo XIV stated this Sunday, during the Angelus prayed in St. Peter’s Square, that “we cannot truly love God if this love does not overflow into love for our brothers and sisters.”...

Apparently Pp Leo forgot about 'overflowing love' for adherents of the Old Rite. 

They Think You Are STUPID

Big dog-and-pony show to "convince" you that THERE ARE NO ELECTION FRAUDS AND THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ELECTION FRAUDS AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ELECTION FRAUDS, DAMMIT!!  NOW STFU, TRUMPZOIDS!!

*Cough*

The election frauds--and there are thousands--are due to mail-in ballots.  They are mailed OUT to somebody, and somebody may or may not actually mark those ballots.  Sending a ballot to an illegal, or a nursing-home dementia patient, is the preferred method, not running silly "show and tell" games.

We know it.  Trump knows it.  And at some point in time, you'll pay for it. 

  

AI? Nope. It Cannot Be

 You don't have to get far in Rummelsburg's essay to know where it's going and yes, it strips "Artificial Intelligence" naked for all to see.

...[C. S.] Lewis presaged the current crisis of intellect when he described the men that a debunking education produces. He called them Men without Chests; we call them “critical thinkers.” Of them he wrote: “It is an outrage that they should be commonly spoken of as Intellectuals. This gives them the chance to say that he who attacks them attacks Intelligence.” Today, “intelligence” has suffered the same fate as the “intellectual.”

It is not hard to call "debunking education" sophomoric; "debunking" is--at root--what you often see in the sophomoric 'argumentation' in almost all social media:  the snarky put-down.

...“Mind” and “intellect” are words that point to realities that are immaterial in nature. Consistently eradicating all immaterial things from educational theory leaves these concepts especially vulnerable to abuse....

... The word “intellect” comes from the Latin intus legere – to read the interior. Our senses perceive outward qualities; the intellect grasps what things are, conceptually. A man sees and recognizes a particular dog, but his intellect grasps the nature it shares with all dogs. Unlike sight, it is not tied to a bodily organ; schools should cultivate its use and proper end. Aquinas teaches that the intellect’s end is truth, the conformity of mind to reality...

One is reminded of the great James Schall* (SJ's) insistence on "What IS."

 ...Intellect is a power of the soul with two operations Aquinas calls intellectus and ratio. Josef Pieper, in Leisure, the Basis of Culture, describes intellectus as “simply looking,” the mind at rest receiving reality. The student who grasps the structure of a fugue, a proof, or a proverb is doing more than perceiving: he is apprehending what the thing is. Ratio, or reasoning, is the active capacity to move from what is known by first principles to what was previously unknown.

Reasoning becomes rootless when it is not preceded by the intellect’s apprehension of the first principles....

Modern schools of thought on intelligence are dangerously insufficient.  They would teach the Bach St John Passion without reference to the text Bach quotes.  "It has sad notes" is true--but WHY it has such is simply passed over without mention.  

... Gardner’s “multiple intelligences” splits the unity of intellect into eight or more capacities, such as mathematical, kinesthetic, and musical; the intellect exercises these abilities, but they are not the intellect itself. “Emotional intelligence,” the premise of the social-emotional learning programs, inverts the order of intellect and passions. Artificial intelligence is no more like intelligence than fake flowers are like flowers; it simulates its effects, not the thing itself. Only the habit of judging by appearances lets us confuse the two....

...Dante, passing through the gate of Hell in Canto III of the Inferno, learns from Virgil that he will see the sorrowful who have “lost the good of the intellect,” not the power to think, but its object, the truth that is God – the Good....

The intellect can--and should--be formed to understand What Is:  the "I Am Who Am",  which is Truth Whole.

Artificial Intelligence cannot do so. 

Need more?  Another essay--this on iconoclasm--touches the same theme:

...We deny the humanity of another image of God: our very selves. The Greek word for image is eikon; in the Septuagint’s Genesis, God declares that man is made kat’ eikona Theou—in the image, the icon, of God. Humanity is the original icon, and today we are witnessing a global campaign of anthropological iconoclasm. We deny the physical, historical, and created reality of our own human nature.

The iconoclasts contended that God’s infinitude makes Him uncircumscribable; therefore, He cannot be painted. The Council Fathers, drawing on St. John of Damascus, argued that God the Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, assumed a real human body, redeeming matter and circumscribing Himself. The modern iconoclast smashes his own nature because he believes he should be infinite and uncircumscribable....

IOW, seeing a part and missing the whole, thus missing What Is (True). 

*You can still get Fr. Schall's "Another Sort of Learning" from Ignatius Press.  It's worth it. 

 

The Fun Starts on Election Day!

We're not absolutely certain that DataRepublican's sketch is fact.

But being prepared is always useful.

 ...in the Senate, Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a former CIA analyst, recently announced she’s ready for a Trump election-stealing scenario, most likely “in the last two weeks of the election, (as) they somehow come up with a national security incident that only they can protect us from.”  [Slotkin is one of the Insurrectionist Six, and has openly threatened people who join the Administration with 'retribution.'  She is--in short--a Piece of Shit.]

With many polls now showing Dems with a lead in the midterms, all that will have to happen is for Republicans to hold the Senate and do better than expected in the House, and that will be proof enough for Slotkin and her Deep-State allies. [New York City resident Tammy Baldwin is making noises about 'election interference' already.  She's stupid--but she can read a script.]  What will they promote? Riots? Demonstrations? A takeover of government through violent insurrection?

The Democratic Socialists of America are already planting the seeds of violence if things don’t go their way in the election, with their “New Battlefield Project,” calling on 10,000 “volunteers” to guard polling places.

Here’s what’s really happening.

“Activists are planning mass protests if the Trump administration tries to interfere with voting or ballot counting,” U.S. News reported in September. “And [hard-Left] legal scholars [Norm Eisen-like] are distributing white papers advising judges what they should do if the government tries to seize ballots.”

Meanwhile, “A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments and congressional lawmakers” on how to prepare for “Trump administration interference in midterm elections,” the Washington Post reports.

Sounds pretty much like they plan their own interference if the GOP wins.

 Make sure your guns are clean and your ammo is sufficient.

Fed "Judge" Making S**t Up......

It's one thing to use AI.  It's another thing entirely to get caught.

 The Fifth Circuit allowed Mississippi's anti-DEI education law to take effect and ordered the case reassigned to a different judge, sharply criticizing AI-generated fabrications and serious legal errors in Judge Henry Wingate's rulings blocking the law...

... Wingate's original order included nonexistent parties, fabricated declarations, unsupported factual claims, and misquotations of Mississippi law. Even his corrected order cited a nonexistent Fourth Circuit decision....

 Henry was appointed by............RONALD REAGAN.

Henry's picture is below.  Think he'll be disciplined?  Removed from the bench?

 

Sure, Ilhan, It's Your "Faith". Yup.

This little turd is circling the drain--so now it's a "religion" persecution.

 Ilhan Omar says critics just don't think someone of "my faith" should be in Congress....

Well, maybe it's not ONLY your "religion", scumbag:

 The Center for Immigration Studies found 81% of Somali-headed households in Minnesota use at least one welfare program. 54% get food stamps. 73% have someone on Medicaid. For native Minnesota households, it's 21% on any welfare. Ilhan can play the victim card all she wants. The numbers don't care.

Your "religion" is inimical to the US Constitution and its political system.  That much is true.

But there's good news for you!  After your time in Club Fed, you get to go home, permanently. 

NOT Mentioned in JSOnline? No Surprise.

USA Today, the sister of JSOnline, does not mention this as of this morning.  It goes without saying that none of the local TeeVee "news" outlets mentioned it either.

 New court documents unsealed reveal Ilhan Omar has been living under a fraudulent identity...her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. This could mean every single government document she has ever filled out has been fraudulent. Her whole time in America she has been trying to cover up who she is....

A Marxist-Muslim (probably non-citizen) Member of Congress is living (and voting in Congress) under a fake name.

But "news" stations don't think you should know that here in MKE.

Illegal Voting in WI? Kaul Covers It Up

 Josh Kaul--who claims to 'fight for Wisconsin'--sued to protect non-citizen voters in Wisconsin.

He won, using a Jackwad (crooked?) Judge-ette in the Land of Fruits and Nuts.  

Yup.  That's how Josh rolls.

 California Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín blocked the Trump administration from investigating voter fraud by noncitizens in 9 states. The Supreme Court has already rejected judges’ rulings for other states or anywhere outside its jurisdiction. This judge did it anyway.

This one judge ordered DHS to stop its voter probes in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin....

(That judge-ette was born in Mexico.)

Kaul has done his best to do nothing as AG, except to block any serious reforms initiated by the Feds.

Vote him out. 

Crowley: Jack Up License Costs, Tolls--AFFORDABILITY!!!

Crowley calls this "affordability."

 Question: "Mr. Crowley, are you open to new user fees for transportation funding?"
Crowley: "I am open."
Question: "Are you open to tolling?"
Crowley: "I think we should be open."

So let's jack up car & truck registration to $125?  $150? per year, jack up your driver's license fees, and then slap a toll on I-94, I-41, and I-43 drives--say $5 to get from downtown to Waukesha, or Mequon, or Oak Creek.

That's affordability!! 

Crowley: Sparkles, Rainbows, and Free S**t! and He Runs Away!

 It is the Democrat and Democrat-Socialist position:  make promises, fuggedabout details, and TRUMPF BAD.

...Crowley called for a fairer tax system, saying, “We need to make sure that everybody in the state of Wisconsin can get access to groceries, can afford a roof over their head.”...

What the Hell does "fairer" actually mean?

 ....Crowley opposed expanding the voucher program and said he would not support abruptly ending Milwaukee’s program.

“We cannot expand the voucher program in the state of Wisconsin,” Crowley said.

He called for more public school funding...

How much is "more"?  How high is "up"?   

After the debate, Tiffany stuck around to answer questions from reporters.

Crowley ran away.

THAT tells you everything you need to know. 

Channels 4 & 12 did not mention 'Runaway Dirt McGurk' in their reports.  Only Channel 58 (!) did. 

Don't Be a Patriot at Planet Fitness in Cudahy....

 Some dude got tossed out of Planet Fitness in Cudahy (WI), for wearing a jacket saying "Protect ICE, Protect the Country."

Reminder:  Planet Fitness also supports tranny men in women's locker rooms..... 

Pat Murphy & Vince Lombardi

 Former college players remember Pat Murphy fondly.

This graf reminded me of a Vince Lombardi technique:

 ...Former Notre Dame outfielder Mike Rotkis recalled a 28-10 loss at Western Michigan in Murphy’s debut season. When the Irish returned to campus, Murphy had them do sprints.

“It was like the scene in ‘Miracle,’“ Rotkis said, referring to the Kurt Russell movie about the 1980 U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team. “I can’t go anymore, you’re trying to run as fast as you can and you’re barely walking, you can barely lift your leg. He’s like, ‘All right, that was an embarrassment. Don’t let it happen again,’ and walked out.”...

IIRC, with Lombardi it was "grass drills."

...One of the favorite things of Vince Lombardi, coach, general manager and spiritual leader of the world-champion Green Bay Packers, is the grass drill. He lets an assistant coach lead the bending and stretching exercises, the calisthenics, but he himself must run the part of the drill that turns grown behemoths into groveling, gasping, sweat-soaked, foamy-mouthed animals without breath enough left to complain. It is a simple drill best conducted in the summer sun at brain-frying temperatures because sane men will not do it. The crazy men run in place, double time, as hard as they can, while Vince Lombardi shouts at them in his irritating, nasal, steel-wool-rubbing-over-grate voice. “C’mon, lift those legs, lift ’em. Higher, higher.” Suddenly he yells, “Front!”, and the players, who averaged $41,000 each for fourteen football games last season (there also were two post-season games), many of them no longer boys, but men in their thirties with families to care for and paunches to battle, flop on their bellies and as soon as they do, even while they are falling, Lombardi shouts, “Up!”, and they must leap to their feet, running, running, faster, higher. “Front!”, and they are down. “Back!”, and they roll over on their backs. “Up!” Run. “Front!” Down. “Up!” Over and over, always that raucous voice, nagging, urging, demanding ever more from rebelling lungs and legs. “Move those damn legs. This is the worst-looking thing I ever saw. You’re supposed to be moving those legs. Front! Up! C’mon, Caffey, move your legs. Keep them moving. C’mon, Willie Davis, you told me you were in shape. Front! Up! C’mon, Crenshaw, get up. It takes you an hour to get up. Faster. Move those legs. Dammit, what the hell’s the matter with you guys? You got a lot of dog in you. You’re dogs, I tell you. A bunch of dogs. Let’s move. Front! Up! For the love of Pete, Crenshaw, you’re fat. Ten bucks a day for every pound you don’t lose. Crenshaw! It’s going to cost you ten bucks a day. Lift those legs!”

The sound of their panting—seventy men reduced to sodden football suits filled with quivering muscles—rises over them in a moist, squishy roar. As the drill goes on the noises they make breathing almost drown out the sound of Lombardi’s voice. The breathing becomes louder and somewhat wetter, until it sounds like the ocean when the last wave rolls up into the sucking sand. Finally, when they are beyond the point of humanity or sanity, Lombardi lets up. “All right,” he shouts. “Around the goalpost and back. Now run!”

“That’s when you hate him,” says Henry Jordan...

The players make more money these days.  I wonder if MLF makes them do grass drills when they lose a game.

Fox6 Plays "Hide the Judge"

All four TeeeVeeee "news" outlets play the game of "Hide the Judge."

That happens when a convict gets little or no prison-time for serious--SERIOUS--offenses.  The "news" channel doesn't tell you who the "judge" was.  Is there a reason?

You'll never know that, either.

Here's the Fox6 version of the game:

 

A Milwaukee man who’s never had a driver’s license and previously served prison time for hitting and nearly killing two people – in two separate hit-and-run crashes – is now charged in a recent crash that amputated the leg of an innocent bystander....

Yes, he was in prison.  He COULD have gone in for 30 years on those counts.  Instead, he got only 7.  Who was the sentencing judge?

Fox6 won't tell you.  They play "Hide the Judge." 

Virginia Starts the War?

IF TRUE, this is interesting, and probably significant.  Grim has thoughts on it.

 Virginia’s AG just ordered election officials to:

• Deny ordinary DOJ monitors access to polls
• Tell federal agents to leave and call local police
• Document badges, weapons, vehicles & movements
• Challenge federal subpoenas
• While eliminating Election Day voter eligibility challenges

❌No specific unlawful federal operation identified—just preemptive resistance that sets up the “red line” showdown and shifts authority to the state and transfers legitimacy and control to Democratic state officials -- in Virginia's case, leftwing extremists Governor Abigail Spanberger and Attorney General Jay Jones -- 

❌This is an operational plan, not theory. 

❌The conditions for escalation are being set in advance.

Hmmm.

The Governor-ette of VA is ex-CIA.  That is an agency whose reputation is--frankly--in the shitter, and apparently for very good reason. 

Medicaid "Slashed" UP???

One thinks that Steil and Tiffany will be running ads soon.

... The latest Treasury report shows that Medicaid spending this year was up 8% compared with FY 2025. And last year’s spending was up 8% compared with FY 2024, all of which overlapped with Joe Biden’s last full year in office. Keep in mind that spending in Biden’s last year in office reflected massive increases he’d engineered allegedly to mitigate the economic effects of COVID....

IOW, Biden-the-Cabbage jacked Medicaid spend 'due to the Democrat Disease, CoVid'.

Then Trump "slashed" Medicaid, which caused Medicaid spending to go UP 8%.

Here's a question:  who benefits from that Slash-Up trick??? 

 

Abortion and the Invasion of the West

 We were reminded of a story about Ireland.

In 2018, Ireland effectively repealed its Constitutional provision banning abortion.  That action had been discussed by the Bishop of Dublin and a woman member of Parliament.

The Bishop told her that should Ireland go through with the repeal, 'a curse will fall on the land.'

Subsequently, Ireland--like all of Western Europe AND the United States--was invaded by Third World natives.  Many are Muslim, bnt many more are "Nones"; either way, the backbone and fibers of the countries are being ground to dust.

Just coincidence?

Really??? 

The NAFTA-Cartel Fusion

The Gringos believed--stupidly--that Mo'Money solves all sorts of problems.  In fact, Mo'Money attracted Mo'Cartels--and pays them very well.

 ...Since the negotiation of NAFTA in the early 1990s, one of the assumptions underpinning hemispheric trade has been that growing wealth would help Mexico modernize its government institutions, defeat widespread corruption, and ultimately begin winning the war against its powerful criminal cartels. But despite the wishful thinking of the American trade lobby and the international business community, this has not in fact occurred.

The troubling reality is that Mexico’s homegrown corruption and powerful criminal cartels prosper by taking a cut of legal commercial activity—and that commerce is overwhelmingly tied to the country's northern neighbor. And patriotic Mexicans who seek to change this have few tools to do so. They are losing their battle....

One wonders how much Ford and GM have paid the cartels--knowingly or not. 

Colleges Play "Publishers' Clearinghouse" DEI Game

Face it.  There ARE no 'standards' in colleges any more--other than the gold (revenue) standard.

 ...“Hundreds” of colleges across the United States are sending unsolicited admissions letters to students who never actually applied to them in a possible bid to boost their minority enrollment without affirmative action policies.

The Wall Street Journal reported that schools participating in “direct admissions,” through which schools make decisions on the basis of high school transcripts, have “more than tripled since 2023-24” on the admission application Common App. Other schools contact county officials to “get all of the will-be seniors in high school and evaluate every transcript,” then notify the highest-performing students they would be accepted, University of Nevada-Reno admissions director Steve Maples told The College Fix....

"YOU'VE WON THE SWEEPSTAKES!!!  CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COLLEGE FOR LOANS!!" 

NBC Babe Wants Suicide Pact in Oregon

 Some really-dense NBC babe wants the Good Guy With a Gun to be hauled into court for saving lives.

 On Friday’s edition of NBC’s “Here’s the Scoop,” host Yasmin Vossoughian...said, “Oregon has some really strong gun laws, more restrictions on gun ownership than most other states. I know that the Bend-La Pine School District ... banned concealed carry on its property, closing a legal loophole in the state. Despite that, the shooter was killed by a quote, unquote good guy with a gun, who was close enough to walk in right behind him. Is this going to bring up hard conversations when it comes to gun restrictions?”...

No, actually, Yasmin, the conversation is simple:  people who are shooting innocents must be stopped quickly.  That usually requires on-the-spot execution of the goblin.  Your implicit call for the arrest and incarceration of the good guy with a gun is irredeemably stupid.

Live with it, sweetie, and STFU.

A Moment of Sympathy for GWB

We've made it clear--to our mind, George W Bush is really stupid.

But we have room in our shriveled heart for him in his moment of anguish.

...Barbara Bush [GWB's daughter] donated to a super PAC that is supporting Talarico, the Austin American-Statesman reported Friday, citing information on the Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) website.

The FEC site showed Bush’s name as the source, the recipient as Lone Star Rising PAC, the $2,500 donation, and the date, which was September 23, 2026....

Our sympathy, George.  You don't have to issue a statement about the brainless brat--but you should.

 

Difficulties Across the Ocean

Trump was interviewed.  Here's the takeaway line:

 

...Show host Rob Finnerty looks briefly shocked when Trump bluntly says "I find Zelensky to be more difficult to deal with than Putin"...

Yes.

But is he more difficult than Netanyahu??? 

Yovanovitch: Another Lying Sack of Shit (D)

 Democrats:  lying is what they do.

 Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, one of the Democrats’ star witnesses in their first impeachment of Donald Trump, received repeated briefings, emails and memos related to the Ukrainian energy company that employed Hunter Biden, according to declassified documents that directly conflict with her and other witnesses’ testimony in the failed bid seven years ago to remove the president from office.

The documents released Friday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show Yovanovitch and her aides were apprised of corruption concerns about Burisma Holdings, efforts by the company to repair its image or curry U.S. favor that would not “pass The Washington Post sniff test” and even a bid to get the Trump administration to approve a U.S. visa for Burisma’s controversial owner Mykola Zlochevsky, who was banned from American travel.

The memos provide a stark contrast to Yovanovitch’s testimony...

Is it possible that there IS a Democrat who does not lie like a rug? 

Somali Frauds Thank Catholic Charities

 The USCC continues to disappoint.  Bigly.

 

...Two church non-profits have taken in at least $62 million to build the Somali community in Minnesota — leading to the rise of Ilhan Omar and the fraud scandals that have gripped that state, The Post can reveal.

Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services were at the forefront of reshaping the frigid Land of 10,000 Lakes thanks to generous government contracts stemming back generations....

The resettlements began with Hmong refugees who had assisted the US in Laos during the VietNam war.  Those are understandable actions.  My barber is a Hmong and her dad still lives in Minneapolis.  He's a truck driver; assimilated into the country just fine.

The Somalis?

Looks like it was an Income Opportunity for the USCC--and they maximized it, importing 29,000 Somalis at $2,500/head.  Were they vetted?  By whom?  

The State of Minnesota committed hara-kiri, too; it wasn't just Catholic Bishops....

... The population today is over 100,000 in Minnesota according to data, thanks to chain migration (also known as “family reunification”) and the state’s generous welfare system, which became a magnet for Somalis, including those initially placed elsewhere in the US....

Well--100,000 LESS the umpty-hundreds (thousands???) who are about to be deported for fraud, gang activities, drug dealing, rapes, murders, (etc.).

I understand that helicopters are available for the task. 

 

Ritz Crackers Now Schitz Crackers

 Noticed exactly the same thing.  They are awful.

Troy Jackson Just Lost the Race

 This Jackson guy had plenty of negatives going in, but he sealed his fate with the female voters last night:

 Troy Jackson tells Collins to ‘shut up’

That was the headline.

He could have told her to "calm down."  Same difference.   

MEDICARE DOOM!! TRUMP DOOM!! (It's All BS)

As you should expect, the MSM is doing its best to scare the Hell out of Granny.  So the first few grafs of the Medicare supplement story--which everyone reads--is DOOM DOOM DOOM TRUMP DOOM!!

...Fewer health insurance plans. Higher out-of-pocket costs. Skimpier supplemental benefits.

This upheaval is what senior citizens will have to contend with when Medicare Advantage open enrollment for 2027 coverage begins on Thursday. That’s why it’s even more important that enrollees review their plan options so they aren’t hit with unexpected bills and other surprises next year, experts say.

Medicare Advantage, which covers just over half of Medicare’s roughly 71 million enrollees, is going through its third year of turmoil as health insurers overhaul their offerings. The changes are largely being spurred by medical costs outpacing reimbursements from the federal government, which pays insurers to provide coverage to Medicare enrollees....

Blah, blah, blah, blah.  

ARE YOU SCARED YET??  WILL TRUMP MAKE YOU DIE, PENNILESS AND IN THE GUTTER???

But then, waaaayyyy down in the propaganda story:

Actual numbers?  About 3 million people will have to replace Medicare Advantage plan.  Last year, 2.9 million did.  The year before?  2 million.  Remember that all this was caused by "AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE" from Democrat Obama.

Coverage?  There's plenty of options:

... most enrollees will still have a choice of multiple policies. The average beneficiary will have 28 Medicare Advantage plans with prescription drug coverage to select from...

... there will be 5,532 Medicare Advantage plans next year, decreasing by only 21,...

Do you have special needs?  Under Trump:

... Some 744 chronic condition plans are available for next year, up from 376 in 2025, according to Strock. Enrollment in those types of plans has skyrocketed to more than 1.8 million, up from about 401,000 in the fall of 2021....

So MORE people are covered under those plans.  Apparently, TRUMP IS NOT KILLING GRANNY.

Don't you love conditionals?  CNN loves them because they can't be blamed for lying like Hell....

... Insurers are also expected to trim the generosity of their supplemental benefits, though CMS has yet to release its overview of these offerings for 2027, experts said. Enrollees may find that their dental and hearing benefits don’t cover as much care as they have in the past, their medical transportation benefits are curtailed or their allowances for over-the-counter products are reduced....

And they may NOT find that. 

Waaaaayyyyy down at the bottom, you find this:

 

...Average monthly premiums, weighted for enrollment, will dip 7% to $12.11 overall...

But hey!  Premiums down, dozens of plans available, special-needs plans are plentiful, and MAYBE there will be cutbacks in benefits.  So obviously, Trump is killing grandma.  In Wisconsin, Tiffany is killing her, too--and Tiffany's also killing grandpa!

You cannot hate the MSM enough. 

"Hide the Judge" From Channel 12

The game of "Hide the Judge" is a rotten tradition in the Milwaukee area press.  Channel 12 happens to be the one we pick this week.

"Hide the Judge" happens when a convict commits a second (or third, or fourth, or fifth) offense after being released back onto the streets by a Milwaukee County judge.  Which judge?  You'll never know.  (Fortunately, another outlet DOES name names.  See the end of this post.)

In this case:

 ...Court records show the 22-year-old previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver cocaine and felon in possession of a firearm in a 2024 case. The judge originally sentenced him to five years in prison and five years of extended supervision, but stayed his sentence and gave him six years' probation....

Stayed it so.........what?  To let the perp go to med school?  Engineering school?  To save the babies from starvation in a Third World shit-hole? 

Da Nooz will NEVER tell you which Milwaukee County judge released him/her, or set a tiny bail for release.  They never explain it, either.  Then Da Nooz screeches about "informed voting" being a requirement "for democracy."

Sad failure.  A betrayal of the voting public.

N.B.:  ONE outlet names (and shames) idiot judges--in this case, Anderson M. Gansner.  Congratulations, "judge"!!!  You let a killer loose.  Please get in line for your DumbF**k award!

Jack Smith Makes Flock Look Like Kindergarten

 Some of you are concerned with privacy issues surrounding Flock cameras.

But Jack Smith, a hero of the Democrats, makes Flock look like playground time.

...[Senator] Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed the Biden Justice Department and Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained detailed donor data and voter information on over 639,000 individuals during the Arctic Frost investigation.

The types of information contained in the spreadsheet include: names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses, party affiliation, places of employment, donation amounts, credit card information, and donor habits. 

Additionally, the donor and potential voter data ranged from 2005 to 2021,...

Those were largely "small-dollar" contributors.

One more thing:

 ...They also obtained information on “sales of red MAGA hats, including individual buyers, their purchases and their shipping addresses for home delivery.” ...

Hero to the Democrats!!!

So............

What if that sort of Hero also used Flock camera data--or started with the Flock camera data and worked backwards to the list above?

Don't think that will ever happen?

Think again. 

Remember:  all this was done with the knowledge and consent of various Federal judges, so ....... 

Battle's On! LaRouche vs. Birch

 Keeping track of the players requires diverse reading.  So we link to The New American as a counter-play to Last Refuge's pushing of the "Promethean Action"/Lyndon LaRouche bunch.

Both have some good ideas.  Both have some really--ahhhhh--strange ideas.  For example, Promethean insists that Trump is warring against the 'British hegemony' of finance and a bunch of (invisible and maybe not-even-existing) petroleum-price controllers.

Birch, of course, is the most ferocious anti-Communist bunch in the US, and is able to see a Commie under every tree--including such folks as JDVance and (surprise!!) Donald Trump.

This is why God gave Conservatives "common sense."  Sort it out using your own brains, education, and street-smarts. 

N.B.:  He did not waste the gift of Common Sense on Democrats, as is obvious by merely listening to them or reading their drivel.   

FAFO, Zelenskiy!

 Looks like Ukraine's dictator/grifter Zelenskiy has screwed around with Trump too much.

 ...Ukraine has accused Elon Musk’s SpaceX of imposing new restrictions on its Starlink satellite internet service without warning, disrupting Ukrainian military operations.

It comes as Russia intensifies attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure despite President Donald Trump’s proposed “energy ceasefire.”...

That little worm could use a few more lessons in "Who's Your Daddy?" over the next couple of months.  It is truly sad that so many Ukrainians have to die because of Zelenskiy (and Joe Biden, and our CIA), but maybe the remaining population will overthrow this POS.

 

Measles DOOM, Really????

 We've mentioned the Measles DOOM!! DOOM!! DOOM!! stories running on local TeeVee; Channels 12 and 58 are very happy to run them, for example.

But let's take another look at the numbers; for that purpose, Fox (national) News will do.

... The Fox News Report of October 6 opened with the number of measles cases reported by the CDC this year. But it was the death toll that reached for the biggest number of all – five. That number is reported by the state of Pennsylvania, which counts anyone who died within 30 days of a lab-confirmed case of measles. The segment never mentioned that the CDC lists only two measles deaths for the entire year, counting only deaths where measles is the underlying cause on the death certificate, according to KFF....

Recognize Pennsylvania's trick-accounting scheme?  It's the same one Fraudci used--counting anyone who died within 60 miles of Covid19 a "Covid death."  Remember the motorcyclist who hit a tree and still managed to die from CoVid?  Yah.  That trick.

There's more!

... The CDC reports that 95% of cases are in people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown. These are two separate groups folded into one number. A missing record is not the same as a refused shot. Only about 10% of cases have resulted in hospitalization, according to CIDRAP. And the 1991 comparison leaves out the rest of the picture: that year there were 9,643 cases, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, and this year’s 4,080 is still less than half of that....

The latest DOOM!!! DOOM!!! DOOM!!! from Channel 12 includes the near-meaningless number of 214 cases!  Sounds like a lot, until you understand that Wisconsin has 1,083,000+ children under the age of 19.

Gee.  This is just another "Follow the Money" game, and you know whose money:  Healthcare workers' unions, Big Pharma, and--of all people--the Soros family.  Again.

   

 

FINALLY! Omar Gets Hit

 The best part?  Hearing alleged "conservatives" denounce equal justice under the law.

Makes it easy to find targets to spit on, eh?? 

Diesel, Trump, and You

Approximately two zillion people (some consider themselves important) have bitched about Trump's Diesel Deal with Big Bad Putin, including this yahoo.

"It's only a small portion of what the US uses."  "It's helping the Evil Putin."  "It's going to hurt Zelensikiy."  A Nebraska (!!!) Globalonist Congress-slime screeched that last one, apparently forgetting that Nebraska's monstrous ag economy runs on diesel, not pixie dust.  But his concern is Zelenskiy?? 

No one mentioned that the price was exceptionally favorable to the US.

There's a reason for that.  Trump just demonstrated that diesel pricing is not always determined by the actual seller and actual buyer (here, Russia and the US), but most often that price is set by intermediaries, speculators, and profiteers.

He upset another apple cart, just as he did by shutting down USAID, the principal channel of funding to the Democrat Party and the worldwide Left.  USAID was merely a smokescreen; it funded "NGOs" which were largely malevolent (including the CIA) and which were, coincidentally, often headed up by wives and children of sitting Congress-slimes and/or Federal officials.

You can tell by the volume and length of the screaming that he dropped a grenade into their money-engine.  Again.

Heh. 

"The Health of the State"....

That's war.

But as Tulsi reminds us, war is the health of the (deep) state, but it is NOT the health of its citizens.

In this short speech, Tulsi reminds us of the necessity of war--for purposes of D.C., the Congress, and the Executive branch (but NOT for the purposes of citizens)--beginning at about 8:00.  

Those Flock cameras are complementary to the "Patriot" Act's NSA surveillance of phone and interned communications of ALL citizens.  Are you "safer"?  

Then she turns to Islam, and issues a very stark and clear warning.  Islam is bad, period.

Catholics know this from long and bloody experience in the Middle East and parts of Europe.

Bush the Dumber--well--he was dumber.  Obama saw Islam as a contributor to the "fundamental change" of America.  Trump pretends not to hear the drumbeat.

She's quite the orator, by the way. 

Smelling the Bacon Hypocrisy

This twit needs a serious correction.

 Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) expressed support for the bill, arguing that consumers’ need for lower diesel prices doesn’t justify pressuring Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries...

Bacon OUGHT to know that diesel prices are a serious challenge for farmers.  (He certainly knows that farmers and meatpackers like to have illegal aliens around to help with running a farm.) 

Maybe Bacon should represent US farmers instead of Ukrainian grifters.

Bring the bacon HOME, Don. 

Cardinal of India Preaches New Faith

 We don't know what's going on in his head, but this guy has problems.

... Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão, archbishop of Goa and Daman and president of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences, delivered an introductory address on family life at the Paul VI Hall in Vatican City during the second day of the summit marking ten years of Amoris laetitia. Speaking before assembly participants, the Indian prelate asserted that traditional family structures are “increasingly giving way to smaller, nuclear households” across the globe. On account of this, he claimed that the Catholic Church must alter her understanding and pastoral practices to accommodate modern relationship models, rather than insisting on immutable moral norms....

So what does he mean by "smaller, nuclear households?"

... Neri Ferrão detailed what he described as “major shifts” transforming household “composition” in Asia and beyond, explicitly noting that “new forms of partnership and cohabitation are emerging, amid changing understandings of gender and relationships in urban settings” alongside a rise in “interfaith marriages.”...

Oh. 

Then, just to make it perfectly clear that this guy is not really a Catholic Cardinal:

 ...he called for an institutional transformation where families – including non-traditional or irregular situations – are viewed as “partners in mission” and even active places (“loci”) of divine Revelation....

Maybe he never heard of the Reformation Revolution--which led to the French Revolution, which became the basis of Freemasonry--which is the faith he is now preaching.

He should read up and then--if he's honorable--resign. 

 

An Excellent Question

 

How To Create Dodgers' Payroll? Fraud!!

We all know that the Los Angeles Dodgers' payroll is gigungous:  about triple that of the Brewers.

So where did all that money come from?

Dodgers owner Mark Walter was named in a class-action lawsuit this week, giving him a new legal headache to deal with amid the ongoing federal investigation into the dealings of his business empire.

As The Wall Street Journal first reported, a Florida-based client of one of Walter’s insurance companies, Delaware Life, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court of Miami seeking damages for negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and aiding and abetting fraud — stemming from allegations that the company didn’t disclose potentially improper loans made to other Walter-owned businesses as so-called “affiliated” transactions....

 Gives the name "Artful Dodger" a whole new meaning, eh?

 

FINALLY!! Trump Slams H-1B Frauds

 Took a long time, but the day finally arrived!  Sec. Labor Sonderling announced:

 ...I am hereby suspending from the Permanent Labor Certification Program some of the largest IT outsourcing firms in the world: Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCO, and Capgemini. And also, due to multiple active federal investigations, the Department of Labor is suspending Microsoft and Adobe from the program....

JD Vance was present; this action is in his wheelhouse.

At one time, Cap Gemini was a French-owned outfit which picked up a large share of the US market by purchasing DASD.  Tata and Wipro were always India-based.  Gates is simply a lowlife scumbag.

Locally, this will have repercussions on Kohl's, Milwaukee Electric Tool, Deluxe Data, GE Medical, the old M&I Data and FiServ--among others.  All have been infested with curry-loaded semi-competent keyboard slammers.  In addition, the State of Wisconsin has several departments which are jam-packed with ultra-low wage earning H-1B's.  

It is a fact that once an Indian became a manager, that person eliminated all Americans (black, white, or Asian) from their area of responsibility and backfilled with more Indians waving their "degrees" from I.I.T..  It's also a fact that most of those Indians are not really competent and lied/cheated their way through school AND the H-1B entry process.

Actual Americans who took all sorts of undergrad and graduate courses on IT, IT security, IT auditing, and software engineering will finally have a chance to use those studies and knowledge.

First, they'll have to power-wash the curry stains and stink off the walls, keyboards, and carpets.  

 

THIS Is What We Voted For

It's a CNN release, so you're supposed to be horrified and revolted.

 

The Department of Homeland Security’s sweeping election-fraud operation has drawn on tens of millions of records, scrutinized dozens of nonprofit voter-registration groups and considered deploying undercover agents to investigate organizations suspected of helping noncitizens register to vote, according to newly obtained internal documents....

Actual Americans are pleased and encouraged.

CNN--well--you know about them.

Next Chapter in Cornell Case?

The woman accusing some men of rape.....

 ...The woman also sued her own sorority, Delta Delta Delta, both the local chapter and the national organization. The lawsuit says that before she arrived at the Chi Phi fraternity house that night, she had "consumed about 10 standard drinks within the past 3 hours." Looking at the lawsuit's timeline, it appears nearly all of that drinking took place at the Delta Delta Delta sorority house.

The lawsuit said that Delta Delta Delta "held itself out to the public, and more particularly to [the woman] herein, as possessing the proper degree of safety measure to adequately protect its members and to use reasonable care and diligence in its monitoring and policing of the [local chapter's] house and those living in and utilizing said house." In other words, the woman is suing her sorority for allegedly not putting a stop to her heavy drinking....

We are not making that up.
