...This is the last chapter of my report on Charlie’s murder. You can find all the chapters here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7. I suggest you read them in order - they build on each other to create the whole picture....

"I’ve never talked to a Democrat who ever wanted to listen. They start to glitch out if you try.” — Sasha Stone. This past summer, I tried to open a line of communication with a West Coast relative. We exchanged a few letters. I tactically steered the conversation away from the political. Here was the closer salvo from my relative: Jimmy, on a completely personal level, and in different times, I think we could have been very good friends. At this point in our history, I find what you say in your blogs and Kunstlercast to be outrageous, deceptive, and...

I’ve written before about preference cascades — where large portions of the public, often a majority, conceal their views for fear of punishment, only to reveal those views when some precipitating event takes place. Classic examples include the fall of Communist regimes, like Ceausescu’s Romania, where even Ceausescu himself thought everyone loved him until shortly before he was stood in front of a wall and shot. Usually those happen in one direction. But in contemporary America, they’re happening in two. The murder of Charlie Kirk at the hands of a leftist gunman has revealed that many, many more Americans —...

Last Dem ticket that won without at least one slave state nominee on the ticket as either President or Vice-President was FDR/Wallace in 1940.

...Beginning by setting parameters to strip away ideologically driven answers, Smith asked Grok to apply only strict logic, mathematical probability, and observational science in its answers....

Some people wonder why Trump doesn’t just arrest all the coup plotters (starting at the top) and frog march them on TV for all the world to see. Well, there’s a logical reason for what he’s doing and the way he’s doing it....

M5.7 earthquake hits Brisbane, Australia and neighbouring areas.

Nancy Pelosi is probably kicking herself over her most recent X post, because it opened a can of worms she never wanted spilled. But TDS got in the way, and she couldn’t help herself. In a desperate effort to smear President Trump’s plan to clean up DC’s deadly streets, Pelosi took to X and claimed that Trump “delayed” deploying the National Guard on January 6… a claim that instantly blew back on her, in a big way, dredging up an old debate about her role that day. ... But even worse for Pelosi was the blistering response from former Capitol...

Luke 12:6-7 (King James Version) Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. President Trump just rewrites the standards of President of the United States while proudly filling the mantle of Leader of the Free World. Unless you are a braindead DimocRat who swears total allegiance to the Party, Trump has to impress you on his ability to get things done both economically and socially. For so many Americans...

Did you know that the head of the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) isn't a Lutheran OR a Christian at all? She's a progressive Communist (atheist) who used to work for Obama & Hillary at the State Department and as Michelle Obama's policy director....

There are LOTS of Islamo-Communist “pirates” in America right now - but some are more obvious than others. Here's a gang of so-called poor "refugees" in Minnesota who stole tens of millions of dollars worth of funds meant to feed hungry AMERICAN children. Aren't they a fine looking bunch of thieves? I guarantee these Islamo-Communist “pirates” are controlled by CAIR, the US front for the Muslim Brotherhood - just like Hamas!...

A House panel moved to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton in an Epstein investigation. GOP Congressman Scott Perry (PA) called up the motion to subpoena the Clintons during an Oversight subcommittee hearing on the Epstein files. House Oversight Chairman James Comer now has to issue the subpoenas. “The subpoenas will be issued in the near future,” a House Oversight Committee aide told Fox News. Fox News reported: A House panel Wednesday voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., offered a motion during a House Oversight Committee subcommittee...

Fatwa out on Trump by Supreme Ayatoilet. Anyone messing with senior officials is enema of Allah. No more cease fire. Just resting, and arresting Jooos! on suspicion of being Mossad agents. Mossad's been busy in Iran. Transcript linked below video.

Here’s a story you won’t see the mainstream media cover, ever: the white African farmers once demonized and stripped of their land and livelihoods under Robert Mugabe’s Marxist dictatorship in Zimbabwe didn’t just vanish into thin air. These fighters packed up, crossed the border, and rebuilt. And guess what? They’re doing amazing. If you don’t recall, back in the early 2000s, Zimbabwe’s government kicked off a so-called “land reform” plan that drove white farmers off their land, often violently, and handed them over to Black Zimbabweans. Roughly, about four thousand white farmers were forced out, and many were attacked or...

Seriously ? —. Should Trump hear them out now or just let Israel finish the job ?

... I urge President Trump to stay the course, keep putting America first, and to not join in any war between other countries. Every American should hope and pray for peace.

Iran has launched at least 100 suicide drones against Israel. Iran's retaliation may be underway.

Liverpool, England, has a rich, consequential, and sometimes controversial history. More recently, it may be known to many as home of the Beatles. It is also where one of the world’s most famous soccer clubs play. Liverpool F.C. just won the vaunted English Premier League title. Commence celebrations with a joyful street parade. Stop! End celebrations in tragedy as a vehicle mowed down bystanders, injuring dozens.The investigation is ongoing, but in record time (compared to other mass-casualty crimes) the police have identified the driver as a white male, British, from Liverpool. The apparent motivation for releasing these details so promptly...

It's only taken Joe Scarborough 441 days to "handle the truth." As late as yesterday, in a conversation with Mark Halperin in his excellent "Next Up" series, an intransigent Scarborough was still defending the absurd claim he made on March 6, 2024: "F-you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.">/B> [snip] But finally, on today's Morning Joe, in a conversation with "Original Sin" co-authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Scarborough finally admitted that in making his "best Biden ever" claim, "I was obviously wrong."Get the rest of the story and...
