Huckabee (!!) Decries Israeli "Terrorists"

 For some strange reason, this item was not mentioned by ANY "news" outlet except NPR.  Of course, that could mean that it is not true, but who knows........

 Israeli settlers have besieged three homes in the occupied West Bank, including one owned by a Palestinian American. U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee referred to the settlers as "terrorists."...

The report is audio, not text.  Go to the link.

This is not the first time Israeli "settlers" have harassed Christians or Muslims on land owned by the latter.  This IS Zionism in practice:  keep taking land.  Just take it.  God told you to, or sumpin'sumpin'.

 

The Pentagon Problems

Not that long ago, it was The Pentagon Papers.  Now it's the Pentagon Problems.

Leave aside the reported fungus-laden showers/no soap/filthy water problems reported on that $KaZillion dollar aircraft carrier--and note that Hegseth has never denied those accusations.

How about the General Dynamics scam?

 A major U.S. defense contractor received more than $500 million from U.S. taxpayers for an artillery-shell plant that produced not “a single usable shell.”

Investigative-reporting website ProPublica revealed that General Dynamics received that boatload of money to produce shells at a plant in Mesquite, Texas. It hired a Turkish subcontractor that provided malfunctioning equipment that did nothing but break down....

Need some salt for that wound?  Here it is: 

...Not so shockingly, the catastrophic failure is linked to the war in Ukraine, where many if not most of the shells were destined to go. So U.S. taxpayers were fleeced for yet another foreign war in which the United States has no interest....

General Dynamics has refused to send the $500 million back.

But they pinky-swore cross-their-heart-promised to "discount" future purchases to make up for it.

Yup.  They did.  So STFU, rube. 

Hey, Pete!!  Where's the CLEAN AUDIT of your outfit? 

WI Dept Health Svcs Shilling for Big Pharma......Again

The DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM-screechers are back!

 Wisconsin health officials are reporting a sharp increase in measles cases in Iowa and Lafayette counties, with 15 confirmed infections and six probable cases identified as of Thursday morning....

These are FAR MORE DANGEROUS AND DOOM-ISH CASES than the thousands of cases which occurred in decades before (e.g., the '50's) which left hundreds dead on the streets a few victims with pock-marks and about one week of missed school.  You understand that, right, peasants??

Since the DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM-screechers no longer have Covid (a nasty flu developed by US scientists at UNC-Charlotte and in a leaky lab in China) to screech about, they're moving on.

Notice that the emphasis is on clearing the shelves of the MMR vaxx--the one which the US HHS has suspicions about?

Hmmmm? 

The ever-reliable Big Pharma ally Ryan Westergaard--who pushed the FauciVaxx line--is not embarrassed at all about his CoviDOOM bleatings (he never apologized, did he?) is back for more TeeeeVeeee time.

He takes himself seriously.  Why don't you?? 

 

Yoo Hoo!! Calling Josh Kaul!!!

 In case you've forgotten, Josh Kaul is (nominally) Wisconsin's Attorney General.

But he's not particularly interested in the easy cases like this one in Texas:

... Late last week, the Houston Chronicle reported, “Texas Children’s Hospital must provide free ‘detransition’ care under settlement.” You could not unfairly describe the settlement as ritual humiliation. Paxton is cutting the hospitals’ woke, defiant berries off....

It's quite a "settlement."

...On top of paying the state $9 million, TCH must also pay the legal fees of the whistleblowing nurse, Vanessa Sivadge, who turned them in. Vanessa also gets nearly $2 million from the state’s settlement for being the whistleblower.

Next, the hospital must permanently bar five gender-bending doctors who worked there. Buh bye. Best of luck in your future endeavors. They’re professional pariahs now. And the hospital must release a public statement admitting it illegally provided gender transition care, and take down a previous online statement denying all wrongdoing that claimed the system was only settling “to protect our resources from endless and costly litigation.”...

Children's Hospital of Milwaukee was blatantly celebratory about its "transition" butcheries.

Hello, Josh!!  Are you still awake in there?? 

 

Fitzgerald "Proud" To Compromise US Military

Fitzgerald knows his place, and it's not really representing the citizens of Wisconsin.

 Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after voting to pass S. 1071, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026.

“I was proud to vote for the FY26 NDAA as it advances President Trump’s mission to keep America strong, secure, and dominant on the world stage...

B as in Barbara, S as in Streisand, Scottie, you chunky Pubbie. 

 ...A provision tucked into the House Armed Services Committee’s draft version of the Fiscal Year 2027 defense policy bill could move the U.S.-Israel military relationship beyond traditional aid and into a far deeper form of defense-industrial integration....

Oh.  

And more to come!  The Senate version (Tom "Jerusalem" Cotton-pushed) includes mandatory INTEL-sharing with Israel.  Since few--if any--countries want Israel's eyes on their intel, they will stop sharing intel with the US.

Great!

And how will such a ridiculous (and seditious) provision pass?  

Simple:  the Senate will tell Trump that he gets SAVE if and only if he agrees to the Israel intel-share, and hammers such "representatives" as Fitzgerald into agreement.

See how that works? 

 

Where the Hell is the Navy's Money Spent??

Lots of Americans think that the US Navy is the finest navy in the world, bar none.  And they pay a Helluvalot of money for it, too.

Ummmmnnnhhh...

...Military families and members of Congress are sounding the alarm about the hellish conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln. The vessel’s 5,000 sailors and Marines have spent nearly 300 days at sea and will likely remain in the Middle East for as long as the globalist quagmire in Iran continues. They are suffering because America’s feeble leaders cannot bring themselves to stop fighting Israel’s wars.

How bad is life on the USS Abraham Lincoln? Really bad. The Navy Times reported this week that numerous sailors have tried to kill themselves during their extended deployment, and the massive aircraft carrier reportedly has moldy showers, broken toilets, and no soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.   ...

If I were Hegseth, I'd fire a dozen or so flag officers, cut the Navy's R&D programs for "advanced ships"  and use the money for a crap-ton of P&G products and a few dozen plumbers.  Then I'd charge-back the plumbing repairs to the shipbuilder who f****d this up to a fare-thee-well, and add a penalty of $10 million--which I would distribute to every enlisted sailor on that ship. 

The Air Force One Waltz: Fake "Intel"?

Trump took the word of Netanyahu's intel outfit, abandoned AF1 and used a different plane to exit Turkey.

Israeli intel said AF1 was a target on that trip.

Really?

 

...The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the CIA did not trust Israel’s claims, saying the agency viewed them “as low confidence.” Some officials went further by suggesting the point of Israel’s report was to manipulate Trump into baselessly viewing Iran as a threat to America’s homeland. One former official said the warning “fit a broader pattern of Israeli intelligence reporting that some officials see as designed as much to shape presidential decision-making as to inform it.”...

Dunno about that.  Israeli intel told Trump that taking down Iran's government would be a one-week walk in the park.  So obviously, Israeli intel never............oh...............wait............ 

"Moderate" Crowley, Eh? The Lying Press....

 We think Moderate Crowley likes Thanksgiving, although he's never said so publicly.  Note well:  the local Propaganda Press will call Crowley "moderate".  They're lying.  

Let's hope that Tiffany calls it like it is:  Crowley is another radical race-mongering anti-cop socialist.

 David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive who pulled off a stunning upset over the summer’s socialist surge, has blamed systemic racism for police shootings, opposed legislation to protect law enforcement, and declared Wisconsin the worst place in America to raise a black child....

And he's emphatic about it!  This, after the Jacob Blake (felon-in-possession/resisting) shooting:

...“Make no mistake, Blake’s wounds are the result of systemic racism, the policies and practices that entangle our institutions and produce racially disparate outcomes, regardless of the intentions of the people who work within them,” Crowley said. “It’s the reason why Wisconsin is ranked as the worst place to raise a black child, why child poverty in the Black community is markedly higher compared to their white counterparts, and why Milwaukee County ranks as 71st healthiest county out of 72 counties in the state.” ...

No small irony that Crowley yaps about "health" after hiring a DEI candidate to run the health-insurance program for Milwaukee County, which DEI candidate let the damn policy lapse for 30 days because..........stupidity.

And after securing a major tax-hike (sales tax enhancement) for the County, Crowley STILL runs a deficit while his public transport enterprise slowly goes totes Communist: pay more for less service and be happy, comrade.

Yes, there's more!  Crowley wants abortion as a Wisconsin Constitutional Right.  He wants (only) a $15.00 minimum wage.  (Moderate!!)  How about unlimited immigration and NEVER co-operate with ICE, even to remove criminals?  Force poor black children into continued (moderate) illiteracy?  

So how shall we phrase this?  

Moderately Incompetent and Racist!! 

Trump-O-Nomics: Another Victory for Americans

Looky here!  Seems like Trump's economics benefit WORKING-CLASS Americans.

 

Ford Motor (F.N) plans to move production of some Lincoln models from China to the U.S. beginning in 2030,...

...Gasoline-powered ​cars and electric vehicles imported from China are subject to hefty duties. The U.S. tariff on the Lincoln Nautilus, ​the main vehicle Ford imports from China, is 52.5%...

Think Buick will move its Envision out of Red China?

Or is Mary Barra too pig-headed to do that? 

FauciGrants Still Developing Killer Viruses

Fauci may have departed the Government, but his works continue to live!!

Shi Zhengli, the Chinese virologist whose years of bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology made her one of the most scrutinized scientists in the world after COVID-19, did not disappear.

She moved on to another powerful Chinese state laboratory, where she is now helping train a new generation of coronavirus researchers....

...A 2026 doctoral recruitment notice lists Shi as an adviser in pathogen biology with a research concentration explicitly described as “pathogen discovery/coronavirus.”

Another 2026 doctoral program, jointly operated by Guangzhou Laboratory and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, lists Shi as an adviser for “pathogen discovery and cross-species infection risk research.”...

Nice to know she/Shi is still working, no? 

 ....In 2024, Shi was among the authors of a major Nature study titled “Design of customized coronavirus receptors”. Her affiliations on the paper included both the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Guangzhou Laboratory.

The study developed engineered receptors that allowed researchers to study a range of coronaviruses....

And the US taxpayer is still paying her!!  Sweet!!

 ...Its acknowledgments list multiple awards from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, including P01AI167966, DP1AI158186 and contract 75N93022C00036, along with NIH instrumentation grant S10OD032290. Those American awards were credited to University of Washington coronavirus researcher David Veesler.

NIH records identify P01AI167966 as an NIAID-supported University of Washington project. The Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease also identifies 75N93022C00036 as federal NIAID funding....

Natalie Winters is a gift to us all.  She finds this stuff.

Now..........where's that Rope & Tree with Fauci's name on it? 

 

Sen. Kennedy Wins the Year!

Kennedy is a war-monger Senator.  But he has great lines.

Check this one:

 ...Republican Sen. John Kennedy unleashed on former Vice President Kamala Harris Monday, chiding the potential 2028 candidate for desperately cozying up to “Lulu Lenins” — unveiling a new nickname for democratic socialists that quickly went viral online....

That would be Francesca, alright. 

TWO Measles Cases. DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM

Big Pharma pays the bills for Da Nooz, so two measly cases of measles (yup, I went there) are now BIG NEWS.

This is a nation of wimmins. 

Crowley Eh? "Human Error", Eh?

Amusing.

Milwaukee's "central count" facility had a "human error" with its memory-sticks.

Then Crowley won. 

Kroger to Americans: "Drop Dead"

 Kroger (locally, Pick'N'Save and MetroMarket) just told 5,000 American IT peeps to drop dead.

 

Kroger, the largest operator of traditional supermarkets and a very large employer in Cincinnati, is moving their entire "capability" department to India.

They're doing it because a job that currently pays over $100,000 a year here in the United States pays under $40,000 a year in India.  This is likely to lead to 5,000 or more of those higher-paying jobs disappearing from Cincinnati and elsewhere across the country....

Meijer and Woodman's look better every day. 

Babykiller Fauci

 Not a surprise.  Fauci's babykilling is an integral component of Leftism.

...The actual spontaneous abortion rate for women vaccinated in the first trimester was a stunning 82%. However, the CDC and healthcare administrators manipulated the data adding 700 women vaccinated in the third trimester to improve the statistics.  ...

He'll get his own special corner of Hell. 

"...But Muslims Hate You"

Surber is so damn good....

Here's a quote from his column of today.

... Eight years ago [Abdulrahman Mohamed El Sayed] sought the Democrat nomination for governor of Michigan. In a May 10, 2018, Michigan Press Association gubernatorial forum, Abdulrahman Mohamed El Sayed, said to Republican candidates, “You may not hate Muslims, but Muslims hate you.”...

Frankly, we've seen that in a Muslim (former) neighbor.  Never said it, but always had the look in his eye.

And that hatred is NOT reserved to only politicians of the Pubbie variety. 

Hong Is a SCUZZY Nutbag

The Democrat Party of Wisconsin deserves Hong as their nominee.

 One year before Wisconsin gubernatorial hopeful Francesca Hong called to "Cancel Thanksgiving" in October 2019, the socialist state representative, who is a professional chef, hosted an event she dubbed a "Feast of the Feminine," a "6course [sic] dinner inspired by menstruation." An invitation posted to the events website Eventbrite describes the "feast" as a "celebration of menstruation with conversation and dinner." It also lists a menu featuring on-theme ingredients like "Soondae-Korean blood sausage."...

We can't even...... 

The NFL's Greed Problem

Since the '60's, the NFL has been on a roll.  Lots more fans, lots more Big-Ass TeeeVee contracts, and lots more moola for the players.  (Today's minimum pay:  $800K/season.  In 1965, established and good players got about $12K/season, plus $200/pre-season game.  The DOL inflation calculator says it should be around $120-130K.)

But there are clouds on the horizon.  The NFL's gradual move to "fee-to-view" television instead of traditional over-the-air 'free with ads' is not popular.  The NFL's mimicking of Big Baseball's ultra-luxe stadiums-for-socializing is also drawing fire.

Especially in Buffalo.  Read the story.  You won't believe it..... 

Silly, Stupid, or Subversive? America's Catholic Church

 This damning essay by Cliff Kincaid popped up today, and it complements a discussion we are having with a friend about Communism.

 The socialists are taking over the Democratic Party but they are already in firm control of the American branch of the Roman Catholic Church, which gave us “Obamacare,” the bankrupt health care scheme, and is now promoting open borders and LGBTQ ideology....

...I attended a local church in the Washington D.C. area on Sunday and heard prayerful “intentions” for the victims of “climate change-inducing” wildfires and Haitians being “forced” to return to Haiti. Both claims are part of the “progressive” playbook and designed to undermine the America First policies of the Trump Administration.

In the church bookstore I found a book, “A Home for All: A Catholic Call for LGBTQ Non-Discrimination.” The book’s back cover features an endorsement from retired Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit, who revealed that a priest molested him in the 1940s when he was a 15-year-old seminary student....

... A September 25-27 “pilgrimage” will seek “to bring together LGBTQ Catholics, allies and those who minister to them both in New York City and abroad” by praying at “important LGBTQ sites,” such as the Stonewall National Monument, the scene of anti-police riots at a Mafia-run gay bar....

The silly(?) stupid(?) subversive(?) claims about "climate" and "refugees" undermine science and common sense, respectively.  Kincaid reminds us that the Communist government of Haiti came to be in 1986.  That was Clinton-era, and we'll bet a dollar that it was the Deep State/CIA that fomented the revolution making that happen.  (Knowing Hillary, that meant that the new Government of Haiti lined the Clinton Foundation's Hillary's pockets with millions of dollars.)

The Archdiocese in question is run by +Joseph Lori, who has a reputation as a 'moderate,' in contrast to, say, Cdl. "Cupcake" Cupich of Chicago or the horrible, terrible, disaster called +McElroy in D.C.

Kincaid also reminds us that the Church officially tolerates the most pro-homosex Jesuit in the world.

...A September 25-27 “pilgrimage” will seek “to bring together LGBTQ Catholics, allies and those who minister to them both in New York City and abroad” by praying at “important LGBTQ sites,” such as the Stonewall National Monument, the scene of anti-police riots at a Mafia-run gay bar. ...

To get around to that email convo with a pal......

Following the latest outburst of Communism (the DSA) in Wisconsin and nationally, we mentioned that in the Good Old Days--only a half-dozen decades ago--the Catholic Church was unalterably opposed to Communism, and often said so.  The most articulate opponent was Bp. Fulton Sheen, but popular reading materials, priests, and Catholic childrens' books were filled with anti-Commie materials.  There was a very good reason for that:  Communism is atheistic.  Period.  Full stop.  All the other evils of Communism, including its Statist penchant for mass murder, flow from that foundation.  

Maybe it's just co-incidence, but a few events happening at more-or-less the same time drew down the curtain on the Church's anti-Communism.  + Jos. Bernardin (of Windswept House fame) became the CEO of the United States Catholic Conference.  Vatican II happened.  And LBJ signed legislation which--arguably--prevented churches from preaching about "politics."  (The legislation is totes un-Constitutional and flat-out ignored by "progressive" denominations, but....)

My pal and I remembered the work of Fr. Cletus Healy, SJ, who published thousands of tracts on the evil that is Communism (The Truth About Communism) and was shunned by nearly every other Jesuit for his trouble; in effect, he was a hermit within his own community. 

Clearly, the Church was off the rails, and needs a good kick in the ass from the Faithful.  Write your Bishop and let him know that it's about damn time for his priests to blow the smoke of Satan out of the Church. 

Your children will thank you for it. 

 

Trump's Onobtainium

 There is such a thing as "Unobtainium."  It's called 'nuclear fusion energy.  And Trump's media enterprise is tossing money into it.

 ...One previously announced new venture, nuclear fusion, will continue. McGurn said Trump Media hopes to close a previously announced merger with energy company TAE Technologies by the end of the year.

"We continue to believe it's the single most important driver of long-term value for this company," McGurn said of the fusion business....

Good luck with that. 

Axelrod Meets Kettle

 Apparently this Lefty activist never bothers with mirrors.

...political analyst David Axelrod declared that President Donald Trump has no standing to make medical judgments while discussing the executive order modifying the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. ...

He's at least as qualified as Axelrod. 

Trump-o-Nomics, Part Two

 Naturally, the MSM emphasized a net/net job loss from the July report.  What they did NOT tell you was that the loss resulted from a large decrease in "public employees" (schools, plus Fed/State/Local).  They also did NOT tell you about the increase in private, non-agricultural, jobs.

They certainly did not tell you about the increases in "Durable Goods" manufacturing employment, because that would have confirmed that Trump's tariffs had the desired effect.  Sadly, a NeverTrump fanatic refuses to believe the numbers, preferring his lying eyes or sumpin'sumpin'.

How good is the plan and its effects?

 ...Durable goods manufacturing added 18,000 jobs in July, its best month of the year. Over the three months through July, durable goods payrolls rose 44,000. Motor vehicles and parts accounted for 7,900 of the July gain. Machinery added 2,600, fabricated metals 2,500, and computers and electronics 2,900, including 1,700 semiconductor jobs.

During the first four months of the year, durable goods added 28,000 jobs, an average of 7,000 a month. May, June, and July produced 44,000 jobs, an average of nearly 15,000. The pace of hiring has more than doubled.

Durable goods payrolls have now risen in every month of 2026, adding 72,000 jobs and averaging better than 10,000 a month....

But there's more!!

 ...Production workers in durable goods logged 42.3 hours a week in July, up from 41.3 a year ago. Overtime rose to 4.1 hours from 3.7. Manufacturers are adding workers and working the ones they already have longer.

And this is paying off for manufacturing workers. Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees in durable goods rose 4.7 percent over the year, against 3.2 percent for all private workers. Add the longer week and weekly earnings for those workers climbed 7.2 percent, beating the rate of inflation by 3.7 percent....

And there are many, many more jobs available in the private sector, especially in the trades.  You won't see that in the MSM, either. 

Cdl Cupcake Cracks Down on Old Rite

 +Cupcake (a/k/a Cupich) is making life miserable for the St John Cantius priests.

Reports are (not yet confirmed) that new priests in that Order will NOT BE ALLOWED to celebrate Mass in the Usus Antiquior, although priests already there will continue.  Obviously, after 10 years or so, the Old Rite celebrations will vanish at that location.

Sad.  St John Cantius is a marvelous church, attracts a large crowd every week, and also has a terrific Sacred Music program to go along with its Mass.

It's possible that +Cupcake will leave office and his successor will not be a Mean Girl. 

More Sean Duffy, Please!

 Northwoods Common Sense, and we are all winners!!

Duffy has made it a REQUIREMENT that one has English-language proficiency in order to obtain a CDL and pilot an 80,000 lb. truck down the Interstate at 70 MPH.  That's something that Democrats didn't bother to do, and there are a number of serious tragedies--death and severe/permanent injuries--attached to Democrat policies.

 But that's not all.

Duffy has nearly resolved the Air Traffic Controller shortage, too-and it will be totally resolved before Trump leaves office.

Those X-Box kids will be earning about $160K or more in three years, which should be enough to keep them in Doritos for quite some time. 

Margaret Brennan's Full B*tch Mode

Amusing, in a very sad way.

Margaret Brennan (See BS) refuses to admit that See BS, et.al., were in any way responsible for violence surrounding the Fake Medicine HQ--CDC--post-Covid. (6:00 ffd.)

That's her second Full B*tch instance on this show.  Prior (3:00 ffd), she went Full B*tch about the measles vaxx, instructing Americans that they MUSSSSSHT Vaxx and YOU VILL LIKE IT! while pretending to address a very competent health official.

The TeeVee is losing its little mind over the truth. 

Nah, we don't watch this crap.  Last Refuge does, earning much merit in the Genuine American constellation. 

Who Does Tom Cotton Work For??

 It was bad enough that the House NDAA made the US Armed Services "co-operate" with Israeli armed services in areas such as weapons development.  That would mean that Israel knows what the US is working on and how it works--plus where the components are sourced, (etc.)  Maybe Israel will keep that knowledge to itself, but maybe it won't.

Then along came Tom Cotton.

 ...What has been proposed on the intelligence merger goes way beyond what has existed in the past. It was put forward by Tom Cotton in the Senate. That amendment would essentially mean that the US intelligence services are forced to share all kinds of intelligence with Israel. Forced. And the only way that can be prevented is if the president personally intervenes, which means that he would constantly have to set aside all other duties that he has during the day in order to review every intelligence data point and decide whether they should or should not be shared. Which means that essentially it would happen on a very rare occasions and as a result the US would be forced to share almost everything. It is disastrous. It goes way beyond anything the US has ever done with Israel or with any other country. It also jeopardizes the US’s intelligence sharing arrangement with many other countries because no one’s going to share anything with the US any longer, knowing that everything that is shared with the US immediately ends up in Israeli hands....

One should ask "Just who is Tom Cotton working for?"

Then ask it again, and again, until Tom Cotton gives you an honest answer.  He won't, of course.  So if the Senate Democrats refuse to move the NDAA, maybe THEY should get re-elected; and given the current political sitch with the <40 crowd, Cotton may well have brought the end of the (R) Senate.

So:  who IS Tom Cotton working for?? 

 

Trump-O-Nomics: More GOOD Jobs Here

The "news" you hear about "less jobs" is.........less than half-truth.  That's because The News is fixated on obtaining a Democrat House and Senate in November.

Truth be damned!!!

Here's the real story:

Total payrolls at nonfarm employers fell by 23,000 jobs in July from June, as local government jobs plunged by 57,000, the biggest month-to-month drop of local government jobs in years.

But private sector payrolls rose by 30,000 jobs in July from June, same increase as in the prior month, to 135.59 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics today (blue columns).

The six-month average job gain, which irons out the month-to-month squiggles, dipped to 54,000 (red line).

 And where would those gains be coming from?

 ...All other major private-sector categories gained jobs, including the two categories where many of the tech companies are (Information and Professional and Business Services):

• Construction (+22,000);
• Manufacturing (+5,000);
• Information (+11,000);
• Professional and business services (+18,000);
• Healthcare (+22,000);
• Wholesale trade (+5.000);
• Transportation & warehousing (+10,000);...

 The first four--in red--are high-paying jobs.  The fifth is a mix:  some high, some low.

TRUMP-O-NOMICS is working. 

The Hong-Sign

 Two (not-really-separate) items in this post.

1)  Childers explains the Hong-Sign (pic below):  the red (of course) rose is the official symbol of the Democratic Socialists of America, and of ‘democratic socialism’ worldwide. It traces back to the European labor and socialist movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where a rose representing the beauty of the socialist ideal was paired with a clenched fist representing labor solidarity. The DSA adopted the logo as its primary visual identity, and its candidates often wear a red rose pin on their lapel as a commie dog-whistle. 

2)  A fanatic-Lefty Old White Woman lives down the road from here.  In election years, she stakes 10X15 yard-signs for the Democrat of the Season. 

This year, her signs include one for Crowley--not for Hong.  That's OK; it's a primary.

The payoff question:  what will she do when Hong wins?

Heh. 

We'll let you know soon! 

Commie-Sign here:

 

Are NeoCons in Retreat?

Vox points to a Simplicius post wherein Robert Kagan, husband to  Victoria Nuland, scurries away from his (and her) previous "Kill 'em ALL!!" position on non-Israelis in the Middle East.  

Nuland was also largely responsible for deposing the validly-elected leader of Ukraine in 2014--which led to the NeoCons' Preferred One:  Zelenskiy--which led to the NeoCons' War on Russia.

Apparently, Kagan is sentient enough to hear the footsteps. 

False-Flagger Ukraine Gearing Up Another One

CTH/Last Refuge pinned the tail on the donkey here.

 

If we cut to the chase, the greatest likelihood is the same intelligence unit responsible for the Nordstream pipeline bombing are the same intelligence unit responsible for the Leipzig Airport drones.  That would be Ukraine....

Got it?  Good.  Because there's more to come.

 ...if you just look at the datapoints that have surfaced since June 11th, there is a greater likelihood of some kind of western kinetic activity that can be carried out in order to stimulate more opposition to Russia.  Some form of false flag operation.

That approach would track with what we have witnessed in the past two months as Ukraine makes public claims in media that are expressly opposite of the action they are taking.  CTH has been pointing this out along the way.  It is prudent to notice things, particularly when those things can be consequential to the interests of EU-controllled intelligence....

 "EU-controlled intelligence" = Great Britain (plus some minor contributors.)

England's policy towards Russia has been the same since the mid-1800's:  make Russia small, then control the old Silk Road from one end to the other.

That's THEIR plan.  Notice that there's nothing in it for the US?

Correct!.  

So the US can get the Hell out of Ukraine, pull its vast European footprint back to zero, and start paying down the national debt.

Boeing, McDonnell-Douglas, and BAE Systems will just have to revert to making civilian goods.  How about portable and inexpensive counter-measures to Flock Spy-on-YOU cameras?? 

 

One Way Or the Other, We'll Get 'em

 Remember when Biden's crowd of crooks weaponized the banking system against gun manufacturers and started tracking gun buyers?  When Biden's Fed and FDIC pushed banks to "de-bank" political figures who opposed Biden?  

Lesson learned!!

 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent continues on two domestic financial approaches to block banking services for illegal aliens and simultaneously target use of the financial system by those engaged in fraud of the U.S. government....

... The measure is intended to identify any person who attempts to transfer funds obtained by fraud who operate in the region to take advantage of HHS funding programs....

And there's MORE!!!

 ...Additionally, the Treasury Department has now concluded the 90-day assessment laid out in an executive order titled “Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System,” on May 19 and directed the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, FDIC, National Credit Union Administration and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to strengthen customer identification and due-diligence rules and to reassess how banks weigh credit risk for borrowers without work authorization. 

Bessent is now giving banks and payroll companies additional guidelines and rules to ensure that illegal aliens are not exploiting the U.S. banking system.  Bessent is following a path that is predicted to eventually require banks to verify legal citizenship or legal status. ...

While the SAVE Act is extremely important, Treasury's actions are a very close second.  Once you cut off the money-flow, things get really ugly really fast.

Ask the gun-makers. 

Ace's Half-Right Slam on Tucker

We'll grant that recently, Tucker has gone over the edge on quite a few matters.  But Ace really, really, really, wants Tucker to be wrong on everything, so he makes s**t up.

 ...Tuq'r Qarlson also embraces the Islamic ban on lending money -- finding that the normal capitalist practice of loaning money for interest is "usury."

Weird how every one of his thoughts is pro-Muslim and anti-Jew, huh?...

Read some actual facts, Ace: 

Catholic teaching historically condemned usury, viewing it as immoral to charge interest on loans, but this perspective has evolved to allow for interest under certain conditions. In contrast, other religions, such as Islam, strictly prohibit interest (riba) in all forms, considering it exploitative, while some branches of Judaism permit interest under specific circumstances....[AI-genned answer on comparing RC teaching on interest to teaching of other religions.]

So.  The Catholics USED to condemn charging interest on loans, but wiggled a bit.  Some Jews do NOT permit interest; others permit under specific circumstances.

Islam is an outlier on the matter, but Carlson is not wrong.  Actually, Ace is embarrassingly wrong.

It happens. 

 

Trump-o-Nomics: Daimler's New Truck Plant

When a country makes it VERY desirable to manufacture in that country, it happens.

 

One of the largest truck manufacturing plants in the U.S. does not have an address yet. It instead has a supervisory board signature, with construction to start in late 2026. The headcount is projected in the thousands.

Daimler Truck North America said Thursday that Daimler Truck’s supervisory board approved plans for a new greenfield facility in the U.S. It’s purpose-built for vocational and on-highway vehicle production. Construction is expected to begin late this year, with operations targeted for 2029. The company is still evaluating locations and will not name one....

No doubt Tony Evers is pursuing this./sarc.

Daimler already has a number of plants in the US (and Mexico, and Europe.)  So why build a new, large, truck-making plant in the USA?  Watch the Daimler guy dance, weave, and wobble:

 ...A majority of DTNA’s assembly runs through Mexico today. The new plant aims to change that ratio.

“When it is completed, it would definitely give us the ability to flex back and forth and improve that percentage in the U.S.,” O’Leary said. “It’s no mystery to anybody that at this point in time the majority of our build is in Mexico, although it’s not a giant majority, but still some majority, and that’s fine. However, as you know, it’s also nice to be able to have U.S.-built products as well, especially these days.”

Asked whether tariffs drove the decision, O’Leary pointed at the calendar instead.

“But again, it’s 2029, so who knows what the situation is going to be,” he said. “Again, it’s not really about the tariff thing at all. It’s far more about we want to have the best, most modern plants out there because we know that will ultimately give us the best cost position, which ultimately is a huge part of the TCO equation, which is something that every customer that we sell to takes very seriously.”...

 Uh-huh.

That's how tariffs work, whether he admits it or not. 

 

"Green" Costs Money

 The enviro-wackies in West Bend just wrote a check to WE Energies.  Why??

... two city-owned electric vehicle charging stations on Main Street and Vine Street failed to meet the usage requirements tied to a 2023 incentive program....

Oh.  And how bad was that failure?

... We Energies awarded the city $55,000 in 2023 to build the two charging stations, with the condition that the chargers reach 60% kilowatt usage or the city would be required to repay a portion of the funds. The chargers reached only 32%....

So--about 50%.  MAJOR fail!

There's at least one reason:

...[A user of the service] shared that EV drivers find it more expensive to charge at a public station than at home ...

OK, then.  Overcharge and over-estimate usage.

That's costly.  

 

Deep State +1 in Michigan

 Rogers is a POS.

 

The biggest winner in the Michigan Senate primary was not Abdul El-Sayed, nor was it Republican Mike Rogers. The biggest winner was the background stakeholder who gains the most, the U.S. Intelligence Community....

Rogers has proven that he can--and will--lie with the best of them.

... Mike Rogers was Chair of the SSCI who wrote the fabricated report that covered for Clinton’s Benghazi mess....

Trump didn't clean the stables, and if Rubio succeeds him, the stables will remain filled with manure, too.

Hmmm. 

Hey! Mayor Cavalier!! Free MONEY!!!

With all his weeping and wailing about "Mo' MONEY!!", this should be at the top of Cavalier Johnson's list of things to do.

The Justice Department is offering American cities $3 billion “BIDEN” grants to help recoup losses caused by the confused former president’s immigration policies. 

Offered through the Bridging Immigration-related Deficits Experienced Nationwide (BIDEN) program, the grants are among the largest sums the DOJ has ever offered to local U.S. municipalities. They are intended to help cities hire more police officers, upgrade technology, and build temporary detention facilities for illegal migrants, the Washington Post reported. ...

Milwaukee needs money for cops and for technology upgrades.  Also could use money for detention facilities.  Cavalier keeps whining, ya'know....

Oh--wait:

 ...Municipalities that seek the grants must pledge to work with federal immigration authorities as they execute the Trump administration’s immigration agenda. That means no sanctuary cities. ...

Never mind.  Back to haranguing the Good Citizens of Wisconsin to send you Mo' MONEY!!!

You won't get it, pal. 

The Fraud of '20: NOT "Secure"

Contrary to the usual MSM-Slop, there is plenty of evidence that the Election Fraud of  '20 was not secure at all.

 

...The latest evidence released by the White House this week shows that the FBI investigated a breach of voter registration data in Arizona’s largest county in the days before the 2020 election. In that incident, a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained 633,000 voter registration files, but the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, Just the News reported on Thursday. 

The scraping of Maricopa County's voter registration files was the most flagged security incident in a cyberintrusion log kept by U.S. spy agencies in the days surrounding the Nov. 3, 2020, election, showing that intelligence officials were monitoring the breach while voting was ongoing. ...

 And then there's this little gem:

 ...By 2023, U.S. intelligence determined that China had obtained 220 million individual voter files containing names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences and other sensitive information....

And--of course--the illegals:

...an assessment by the Homeland Security Department found that hundreds-of-thousands of illegal aliens were on the voter rolls in four states – and estimated the total across the whole country to be higher. A review conducted earlier this year using publicly available voter data in California, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania found over 250,000 illegal voters on the rolls, Just the News reported.  ...

Tony Evers and his strangely-silent A.G. refuse to release pertinent records to the Feds, (claiming--without evidence--that such a release would compromise "secrecy"), so it's safe to speculate that Tony has plenty of illegal voters, too.

Note well:  the Republicans will NOT bring the SAVE Act to a vote, which is fine with the Democrats.  The term "UNIPARTY" has real, lasting, meaning:  they are Unified in Corruption. 

So vote harder.  That's the ticket!! 

Flocks Going Down (Literally)

The war on Flock spy-cameras continues.

 According to new reporting by MPR News, police in the city of Winona, Minnesota are incensed after their entire fleet of Flock license plate readers went missing.

In a press release shared on Facebook, the Winona Police Department groused that “all eight of our city’s Flock cameras were missing.”...

... “Officers subsequently checked the various locations where the Flock cameras were placed and found that the poles were cut down near the base,” the presser explains.

Awwww. 

 

H-1B Criminal Activity? Not Surprising.

For a decade or more, Americans have been screwed over by "American" companies hiring foreign nationals to do American work under the H-1B provision of immigration law.  The reason?  Those foreign nationals would work for 25-30% less than Americans.

Sure, the "American" companies said that there were no American citizens "qualified" for the jobs.  In the vast, vast, majority of the cases, that was a flat-out lie; in fact, the "qualification" thing was a ruse; the "American" companies--and then the foreign-owned outfits like Tata (India) and DASD (France) simply made up "tests" which only the foreigners could pass.  But those "tests" had nothing to do with the required skill-sets.

Some of those H-1B's actually did have skills or the ability to "fake it until you make it" and seemed ambitious; they became supervisors or managers--and then hired nothing but MORE H-1B's from 'back home.'  It's not unusual to walk through an IT office were the smell of curry clings to everything:  carpets, ceiling tile, terminals--you name it.  By the way, they were not only hiring "back-home" folks; they were deliberately excluding native Americans.

Oh----wait......

Criminal networks are selling Americans’ white-collar jobs via the huge and complex H-1B visa program, says Anthony D’Esposito, the Inspector General at the Department of Labor.

“This is not just fraud: This is a criminal enterprise that stretches far beyond the borders of America,” D’Esposito told Breitbart News during an interview in his D.C. office....

Oh.  

Here's Esposito:

 ...Without revealing too much of an investigation, I think that when complete, one of the things that will probably make the American people most angry… and will probably lead to the biggest change from lawmakers — they will probably bring oversight to this — [is] the fact that many of the individuals that you’re talking about that are selling these jobs, getting kickbacks. We will clearly outline and define their relationships with — whether it’s gangs [or] whether it is transnational criminal organizations....

In Wisconsin, GE Medical, Kohl's, Milwaukee Electric Tool, and Deluxe Data, among MANY others including the State of Wisconsin, are prominent in the H-1B labor-force markets.  Nationally, Alphabet (Google) and Microsoft hire thousands of H-1B's, and Tata hires nothing BUT H-1B's to contract out to companies like the above and hundreds of other "American" companies looking for cheap labor.

We are familiar with this phenomenon and are not shocked by allegations of criminal activity and fraud.  It makes sense:  the foreign managers hiring only other foreigners would point to that all by itself.  And there's a lot of money sloshing around in this business, so hiring managers could easily be tempted to take a quick $10-, $20-, $100K/year kickback.

This has led to about 25% under- or un-employment for Americans in IT alone.  Lots of UW-Whitewater grads are NOT doing what they went to college for (spending/borrowing $40K or so to get that degree.) 

Breitbart has followed this closely over the years.  They issue a challenge to the local TeeVee "reporters" and assignment editors at the end of their piece:

 ...So far, the establishment media has done almost nothing to investigate or expose the organized replacement of their white-collar peers in America’s professional class...

Too bad.  There's a lot here. 

 

 

Net-Net $ Effect? Toss the Illegals!!

RedStates did the math.

 

A new report from Axios highlighted the projected cost of President Trump’s deportation efforts, putting the figure at roughly $2,358 per American taxpayer.

The number is meant to scare off families looking to make ends meet in a tight economy. It is presented as evidence that the removals represent a heavy burden on the public. ...

So $2358/illegal to get them the Hell outta here.

Axios is not far from CNN (or NBC, ABC, Hearst....) so you know what they're trying to do.

But wait!  There are numbers on the cost of keeping the illegals here!

...“Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens)," AEI writes. "Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.”

Over a decade, those recurring expenses would far exceed the one-time deportation cost cited by Axios....

Net-net?  We save about $5K/illegal tossed back into their own pond. 

The BS Artist Gscheidmeier vs. the Cop Ollinger

Yesterday, we mentioned that Gscheidmeier is a BS artist where Ollinger--in contrast--is a solid LEO.

Nothing could prove that more than the responses they gave to McBride on the topic of ALPR (Flock) cameras.

Vote wisely. 

The Cotton/Thune Self-Protection Racket

This comes as no surprise at all.

 

...Veteran investigator John Solomon dropped the bombshell on Steve Bannon’s War Room: Thune and Cotton have for months refused to turn over critical transcripts of former CIA Director John Brennan’s interviews with the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. Those transcripts are essential evidence for federal prosecutors in Florida examining whether Brennan lied to Congress and participated in a broader conspiracy to weaponize intelligence and law enforcement against Trump.

The requests went out in late January or early February. Four months later, the Senate still hasn’t complied. Solomon stated it bluntly: “Republicans are obstructing the investigation into weaponization. There are two Republicans I can name by name, Senator John Thune and Senator Tom Cotton.”...

Why is this NOT a surprise?

Because both of those shady-assed characters are on the "Gang of Eight"--the joint Congressional committee on Intel.

Brennan is in a very bad spot with the Department of Justice, and he's likely to flip.  You don't have to bee too bright to understand that the "Gang of Eight" has plenty of shady (if not downright criminal) activity they'd like to keep hidden, especially regarding their active undermining of Trump's campaign(s) and Presidency.  

Releasing Brennan's transcripts will shine a light on these dirtballs, and that includes YOU, Cotton.  Posing for "tough-on-Iran guy" holy pictures will not cut it after all your dirt comes out into the sunshine.  In fact, your Great Love for Israel act may have lots of connections to that Brennan testimony.  For that matter, there are questions about that whole Covid thing, and the appearance/disappearance of Mifsud......oh, we could go on...........

That would be fun to read!

 

Surprise!! Bibi Flips Off Trump

 Gee.  You'd think that at some point, Trump would return the flip-off....

 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel will not withdraw from its current lines in Gaza until Hamas has completely disarmed and pushed back on a recent deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu’s remarks cast more doubt on the deal to disarm Hamas, which was seen as a potential breakthrough for ending the war. It also marked a rare public display of friction with the Trump administration....

 ...The Trump administration “sent us a draft. We did not agree. It is not our draft. We sent our comments. … This is our position,” Netanyahu said in a video posted on social media....

The Liar Lingo in there is "completely disarm."  So both sides have lots of room to lie.

Rather than continuing to engage with liars on behalf of only ONE of them, why doesn't Trump simply say "Fix it yourself!" and get the US the Hell outta there?? 

The "Conservative" Washington County???

As usual, the worms are deep in the woodwork, even in "conservative" counties.

But the story has a happy ending.

Wisconsin’s Court of Appeals District III (CAD III) countered Washington County’s gun control rules for foster parents, rebuking the county for some of the controls and completely erasing others....

Written in the decision:

 The Laffertys have been seeking to exercise their state and federal constitutional rights for five years while the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF) and Washington County Human Services Department (the County) have dithered, moved the goal posts, and changed the rules of the game every step along the way....

 It is NOT a surprise that Wisconsin's DCF is a sneaky bunch of jackwads.  It's a Madison bureaucracy with tentacles strangling citizens all over the State.

...[The appeals court] was not pleased with the way Washington County had been tardy in informing the appeals court it had removed some of its gun control and  [the court] subsequently “scolded the county for playing games with the courts over the changes.”...

Not to worry.  The County's termites will not change, nor go away--unless the County Exec, Josh Schoemann, fires their asses.

Think he will?  He says he's "conservative."
