Anti-Trump Rallies? Or Just the Usual Suspects?

Looks like the Usual Suspects writing checks to their Usual Suspect rioters.

In Chicago's "demonstration", investigators find the following:

 GPS—7,498 mobile devices. Organizers are claiming 30,000. CBS states a vague ‘thousands’. 

92% having attended 5 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests.

 For more insight into what data we also look at in addition to GPS location data would be demographic and psychographic data using over 6,000 different databases, i.e., like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Pew Research Center, market research firms like YouGov, Experian, specialized tools like ESRI's Tapestry Segmentation, consumer surveys, social media platforms like 𝕏, Facebook, Linkedin.

 Demographic data includes basic characteristics like age, gender, income, education level, occupation, marital status, family size, ethnicity, and where people live (e.g., city, state). 

Psychographic data dives deeper into people's lifestyles, values, attitudes, interests, personality traits, social class, activities, and how they make purchasing decisions. For example, it might show if someone values sustainability, enjoys outdoor activities, participates in community activism. While demographic data is straightforward, psychographic data can reveal sensitive personal details, like beliefs even life goals. 

Additionally, by cross pollinating each device with other devices regularly within close proximity to the target device we are able to build a detailed profile for each target. 

We have identified these six groups. Once again, this is based a very sophisticated algorithm that looks at the behavioral metrics for each device, including the physical 1:1 proximity to leaders and paymasters from these groups in the past. 

 Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, Troublemakers, the Democratic Socialists of America and the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Disruption Project: Legal status is unclear, likely operating illegally. 

Rise & Resist: 501c4 non-profit 

Indivisible Project: 501c4 non-profit 

Troublemakers: Legal status is for profit. 

Democratic Socialists of America: 501c4 non-profit 

Muslim Brotherhood: 501c4 non-profit 

We have also identified 11 additional groups paying for protests, demonstrations and riots, many are linked to foreign bad actors in countries funding terrorism.

The Milwaukee "grass-roots" demonstration was much smaller--perhaps 1,000--but it is very likely that the same groups were providing the financing and the "protesters" were (mostly) paid to show up.

By the way, if you are a "protester" and object to someone corralling your smartphone and making known your BFFs and sponsoring paymasters, well, then, you won't be happy about the FEEBS doing the same.  damned.  thing.  Will you?

Yes, This Judge IS an IDIOT

Nice to--finally--have someone call a spade a spade.

 

...the Justice Department's brief ridiculed the order by Obama-appointed Judge Paula Xinis to “facilitate and effectuate” Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return to the US by Monday night...

First clue:  "Obama-appointed."  Second clue?  Superfluous.

Delicious excerpt #1:

... The order below is neither possible nor proper. As noted, Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadoran national, being held in El Salvador, at the hands of the El Salvadoran government....

Body-Slam excerpt #2:

... Because the United States has no control over Abrego Garcia, however, Defendants [US Government] have no independent authority to “effectuate” his return to the United States—any more than they would have the power to follow a court order commanding them to “effectuate” the end of the war in Ukraine, or a return of the hostages from Gaza....

Translation:  How Stupid ARE You, Judge-ette?

Actually, very stupid:

...Even putting aside these fundamental defects, the order below also runs into a statutory bar.  Section 1252(g) strips district courts of jurisdiction to review “any cause or claim by or on behalf of any alien arising from the decision or action by the Attorney General to … execute removal orders 11 against any alien” under the INA, except as otherwise provided in § 1252. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g) (emphasis added).  This is such a suit.  The district court thus lacked jurisdiction over this case, and lacked authority to issue its order. ...

What Trump & Co. are actually saying is this:

Black-letter law cannot be overruled by Blackrobe law.  Stuff that up your ass, sweet-cheeks.

Conclusion:

...The government's brief conclusively takes apart every aspect of Garcia's case. He had a deportation order; he had MS-13 connections that make him ineligible to enter the US; and the judge not only doesn't have the clout to make El Salvador send him back to the US, she isn't legally allowed to hear the case. ...

Article Two, Sentence One.

Logging National Forests Soon!!

Common sense returns to the USDA.

  ...the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on Friday that it will greenlight logging in America’s national forests. This decision, spearheaded by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, follows President Donald Trump’s executive order last month aimed at revitalizing the nation’s timber industry. For Americans, this is a long-overdue step toward restoring common-sense stewardship of our natural resources while bolstering rural economies battered by years of overregulation and neglect....

Prediction:  for the first time in 20++ years, you will hear about the DOOM DOOM DOOM of the spotted owl.  Yes, they will run that scam past you again, and yes, the MSM will co-operate--largely because they are both complicit and stupid.

Meantime, the price of lumber will go down, just like the number and severity of forest fires.

Did R's Vote Hard Enough in WI? Yup.

As usual, numbers are far too difficult for "reporters" so they just don't bother.

This video DOES have numbers, and those numbers tell  you that something is rotten in the Wisconsin voting system.  You don't have to believe that the machines are connected to the WEF or to DNC national headquarters, either.

You just have to understand that there were more ballots mailed out than there are actual registered voters in Wisconsin.

Does the compromised Social Security database play a part?

Damn tootin' it does.

Jeff Davis and Prof. David Clemens take you through the problems step-by-step.  The fun?  Listening to them slam the Usual Grifters (of the "Republican" sort) for blaming voters.  The voters did their job.

So did the (D) Election Fraud machine.  

And the Election Fraud machine won.

Consistent Democrat Position? Yup!!

Oh, yes--the Democrats have a consistent position.  On slave labor.

Loved it here in the US in the South.

Love it now--in other countries. 

Theory's the same; only the location changed.

Tell Us WHY, Sen. Coons!

 Some "reporter" didn't ask the question.

 On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that large tariffs won’t bring back steel or auto plants to his state “in less than five or ten years. And the costs of competing, of manufacturing here in the United States are still too high.”...

OK, Senator.

WHY are 'the costs of manufacturing in the US too high'?

Taxes?  FLSA?  EPA?  EEOC?  OSHA?  ERISA?  Green Mandates?  Living wage?  Health insurance?  

Which ones should be eliminated or seriously pruned back? 

Which Third World country should the US imitate?

The Trump Effect on WTI Crude

 You won't find this broadcast on the "news" propaganda channels.

One year ago, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil was $86.43/bbl.

Just after the election, the price was $69.24, and it rose to $77.85 in December.  Then it began falling, so that on March 31 it was $71.48 and today..........

Today............ta-da!!--following the tariff announcement--.............the price is $61.99/bbl. 

Brent crude was pretty much the same pattern, from about $90/bbl in 3/24 to $75/bbl in October, with a little spike in mid-December, and now it is $65.58.

Wholesale gasoline now at $2.05, diesel (heating oil) at $2.08.  States and municipals will plunder you buyers, of course.  Retailers will be left with only a few cents/gallon. 

Trump done good!

Essay on Lewis' That Hideous Strength

PowerLine tipped us off to this essay/review of Lewis' That Hideous Strength. We will only quote a couple of grafs; the entirety is worth the read, as is the whole trilogy. 

 ...The novel is too full of references, notes, and suggestions about modern life to summarize, all I can do in a brief review is to show its four major parts, for readers to see their way through and enjoy Lewis’s erudition. First, there is the dystopia—the sketch of an England taken over by what we call “scientism,” a cruel, mediocre, immodest vision of power that lacks any kind of moderation and would therefore tyrannize people, indeed the world. This is the part Orwell liked. It is realistic, which might mean ruthless; it is strange, however, to think that that is what decent, yet sophisticated people believe in—doom....

 ...Higher education is a source of the intellectual and moral corruption that leads to tyranny. Lewis, however, isn’t primarily worried about ideology, but about its moral origins. Atheism is one part of it; pride is another; combined in NICE, they create a cruel intelligence that seeks to prove its superiority by inflicting torture. Modern art is involved, as well as desecration. One could say of NICE that lawlessness is its only law. Power to improve life and the belief that life is worthless are the means and end of this vision—rather like the progressive who think humanity is a cancer on the earth, but that we should be kind in affirming people’s identities....

That first graf's reference to "scientism" resonates with "Green/Global/Climate" scams disruptive of life AND the Fauci/Big Pharma demolition of humanity, no?

The second alludes to the imposition of Chaos on art;  the infliction of torture; and lawlessness as the only law.  The reviewer does not use the word Chaos because he does not have to.  Lewis knew, the reviewer knows, and so do all of us....

China Cuts Off "Rare Earth" Minerals to USA

People's Republic of China (the ChiComs) cut off export of some "rare earth" materials to the US.

The AOSHQ's Super-Nerd IT directorette Pixy Misa puts it into perspective.

 

There are a few things to note here:

...First, of course, it makes little sense to make a totalitarian fascist dystopia your sole supplier of anything.

Second, rare earth elements are not rare. What they are is messy and annoying to extract and refine, a fact that China used to take over the market. Australia, Brazil, Canada, and, yes, the United States all have significant mineral reserves available. And studies suggest that a square mile of seafloor mud is enough to provide the entire world with these metals for a year.

Third, China of course does this kind of thing all the time, and has restricted or outright banned sales of rare earth elements to other countries before.

Fourth, and perhaps most interesting, China now only produces 10% of its own rare earth resources. The same problem with them being messy and annoying to extract led it to move production to illegal mining camps operating in Burma, bypassing what passes for the government and working with local militias....

Do not doubt her. http://ace.mu.nu/archives/414339.php

That "messy and annoying" extraction/refining problem--combined with the EPA and various other pieces of The Regulatory and Strangling Octopus at State and Federal levels--is what chased rare-earth prospectors out of the US.

Maybe Trump could do something about that...........

Mike Waltz: Dummy, or Plotter?

Waltz--Trump's National Security Advisor--was a Congressman, so he may very well be a pleasant-looking dummy.

But he could also be happily undermining Donald Trump.

So Laura Loomer did a bit of digging:

 ...When SignalGate exposed that Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a Trump admin group chat, I did some digging. 

Alex Wong is Mike Waltz’s Deputy NatSec Advisor. He’s married to a DOJ attorney named Candace Chiu Wong who worked under Biden AND Obama.

 You’re not hearing this from the GOP or “conservative media.”

  This is what happens when NO ONE properly vets national security officials. You embarrass the President....

Waltz took the blame for what is most likely Alex Wong's treachery.  But it is worth noting that Waltz DID have Goldberg's phone number as a "contact."  

So it is entirely possible that Waltz, with or without malice, added Goldberg to the Signal chat.

  

Kaul's Suit Against Elon: Just a Shiny Object

It is apparent that Josh Kaul (a/k/a The Pillsbury Doughboy) is not a serious person.

A Wisconsin judge slammed Attorney General Josh Kaul in a blistering order on Friday, accusing Kaul of abusing Wisconsin’s justice system and of making “blatantly false representations about the underlying record” to “one or more appellate courts.”...

 ...The judge even raised the question of whether Kaul had actively deceived the appellate court, writing that Kaul’s legal filing “leads to obvious questions about whether there was intentional procedural deceit intended.”...

 ...Voigt wrote that Kaul’s subsequent Petition to the Court of Appeals “makes reference to Exhibits B, C and D which Plaintiff represents were ‘filed’ with the Circuit Court. However, a simple check of the public access to CCAP would have confirmed that those documents had not been processed by the Dane County Clerk of Courts Office on Friday, and as a result, not been viewed or considered by this Court.”...

This follows Kaul's pattern.  Soon after his (fraudulent?) election, Kaul launched a totally spurious attack on the Catholic Church in Wisconsin.  Since the MSM is cool with hating the Church, Doughboy's prancing and dancing announcement got lots of fanfare.

The Church stiff-armed Doughboy for good reason:  there ARE no 'un-prosecuted or un-disclosed sex crimes.'

When even Tony Evers appears stately in comparison.......

Silly, political, and un-serious.  That's Josh.  

US Dept of Education Funded This

 Certainly lines up with DoE's apparent "standards", anyway:
