Iran Threatens to Invade Kuwait
Timothy Birdnow
I doubt they could do it but...
The Hormuz Report
@HormuzReport
BREAKING: Iran is seriously considering a ground incursion into Kuwait to seize U.S. military bases, including Camp Buehring and either Camp Arifjan or Ali Al Salem Air Base, if Washington continues its military campaign against Tehran, according to Prominent Iranian journalist and analyst Mahdi Khanalizadeh and former Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.
Mahdi Khanalizadeh: "Kuwait is considered one of Iran's principal options for a potential ground incursion aimed at seizing the two U.S. military bases located within the country."
Former Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki previously said Iran could launch a ground operation to capture U.S. troops and take them as prisoners to Iran if necessary, while Iranian officials have warned that "no political border will be safe" and that Tehran would shift to a "full-scale offensive" if U.S. strikes continue.

Shatner: "I Need More Power Scotty"
Timothy Birdnow
Apparently the Starship Enterprise isn't the only heavy metal in William Shatner's life.
The man is a wonder; in his mid-nineties and going on a concert tour doing not soft ballads but Heavy Metal.
One thing you can say for Shatner - he got the most out of his life.

U.S. Hits Iranian Nuclear Plant Under Construction
Timothy Birdnow
Well Duh! What did they expect?
We are only just beginning to take out infrastructure. And this reactor was not yet online.
The article does not mention what kind of nuclear reactor we hit. That makes a big difference; could it be used to generate plutonium? I suspect so. Iran hardly has need of nuclear power considering how much oil and gas they have.
The Iranians were screaming about International Law and yet they have attacked willy-nilly non-combatant countries in this war. The hypocrisy is astonishing.

Just as a point of information, if you are hosting military bases
belonging to a combatant, and that combatant is making attacks from
those bases, you are by definition not a noncombatant. The media likes to say that Iran is attacking those countries, but other reports, from European sources for instances, report that Iran is attacking American bases in those countries. I'm not defending Iran, but I prefer facts to propaganda.

Only the Shadow Knows
Timothy Birdnow
Me and my shadow, all alone and feeling Blue!
FTA:
The tip alleged the Chinese government has exported thousands of drivers licenses to the U.S. to create fraudulent mail-in ballots. It had been transmitted onto the bureau’s internal servers from the Albany Field Office. It was never investigated.
(Nikki) Floris (of the FBI Foreign Interference Task Force) did not stop there. As she worked to retract the explosive tip, FBI headquarters in Washington informed every field office that they must transmit any foreign election interference reports to be micromanaged by Floris’s team at the FBI.
"We’ll get this back in a box!” she informed her colleagues.
Floris could not be reached for comment. Her LinkedIn page has been deleted. A request for comment sent through her current employer Microsoft did not receive an immediate reply.
As another FBI official prepared the bureau’s section of the Presidential Daily Brief, they asked about the tip.
"It’s been retracted,” Floris replied.
"I am basically running a shadow government inside the FBI right now,” Floris added.
"Do what you have to do

” replied the other FBI official.
A smiley emoji? Really? They are discussing subverting American election law and cheating the public with the help of a hostile foreign actor and they put an smiley emoji on the e-mail?
Glad they are enjoying themselves so much at our expense.
Flores also pushed the "Russian collusion" hoax even while she knew the Chinese were colluding with the Biden Administration.
The hubris of these people is simply staggering.
That this chick has now gone dark speaks volumes. She knows she's in deep doo-doo, caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
The thing is though it was obviously not just her but the whole damned division, nay, the whole FBI. Christopher Wray is quoted in the article when he denied before Congress any election funny-business.
Watch for the media to dangle some shiny objects in front of the American People to divert the People's attention away from this.

Vance on the Ropes
Timothy Birdnow
J.D. Vance's career appears to be heading South faster than did Sherman and, although he was the obvious successor to President Trump, he seemed to go out of his way to blow it up with his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast.
American Thinker
analyzes the event and the article's author concludes Vance is a light-skinned version of Barack Obama, a social climber who is angry at President Trump for his own failure with the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran.
In addition to saying the Jews wanted "endless war" and that they were the ones trying to keep the war going (for reasons that he does not articulate) Vance said of his boss:
And "by the way,” he wanted to make clear, "I’ve never seen a single piece of credible evidence that the president of the United States engaged in wrongdoing with minors.”
Clintonesque, no question - Vance seems to be engaging in a CYA operation, suggesting his boss may have molested children while not saying he molested children.
It all looks pretty bad when viewed from a certain angle, for certain.
The author thinks Vance is mad because Trump sent him on his first big-boy assignment and he fouled it up and now wants to deflect blame.
Perhaps. I was displeased with the choice of Vance in the first place, as regular readers of this blog may well remember. Vance had trashed Trump early on, sucking up to the RINO wing of the party and demanded Trump resign from office in his first term. Suddenly he was a big MAGA guy, and anyone who sells their loyalty that cheaply is suspect to me.
But he's been very good since and I wonder if the things he's saying now are not being said for strategic reasons to advance the Administration's policies.
It is no secret that Mr. Trump has been unhappy with Netenyahu and Israel through this Iran war. But Trump can't come out and say it himself, or at least it wouldn't be a good idea; it would suggest a break in our relations with Israel and the Iranians would unquestionably try to exploit that. So what do you do? Past Presidents have generally used their Veeps to do this kind of grunt work. Vice Presidents are political hatchet men, doing the work Presidents Just Won't Do.
Eisenhower was the master of that; he dumped every nasty job on Nixon and then left Tricky Dick twisting in the wind when the heat came down. "Oh, you'll have to ask Dick about that" and he went off to play golf while a poor stammering Nixon had to explain that, no, he hadn't stopped beating his wife.
At any rate that is the traditional role of the Vice President and Vance's comments may well be things Trump wants put out there to put a little fear in Israel so they stop with the cowboy diplomacy and get on board.
On that matter of the legalese about Trump and Epstein, I can see that too being a tactic that Trump may want. One of the things Trump has always done is lay little traps for the media and the Democrats, get them chasing after shadows, and Vance may well have advanced this to get Trump's enemies back into a feeding frenzy while Trump looks like the adult in the room.
And of course while Trump may not agree with the crazy alt-right guys like Tucker Carlson he is savvy enough to know they represent an audience he dare not take for granted. So he tosses them a bone to get them out in November. Nothing that has been said is binding in any way.
Is all this the case? I don't know and neither does anyone else. But I'm prepared to give Mr. Vance the benefit of the doubt right now and will adopt a wait-and-see approach to him. He may well wind up being just another political turncoat who will dumb the gal he brung to the dance, or he may be a loyal soldier. I think we have to see more to decide.
Sadly many are ready to give up on Vance in favor of Marco Rubio, who has been very good as Secretary of State but has no executive experience - and furthermore he was not just a member of the Gang of Eight when he was in the Senate (a bipartisan group including John McCain who wanted an amnesty for illegals) but he attacked Conservatives, calling us racists, for opposing him. To me that bespeaks a serious character flaw that I'm not comfortable with. If Rubio would address that and admit "I really screwed up there" I'd be much happier with him.
Of course there is also DeSantis who has been excellent as Florida Governor and would be a good choice. But he attended Yale for his undergraduate and Harvard Law, which makes him suspect, if you ask me.
Still, of the three I like him best, but it is unclear if the American People will like him best. Low information voters may not know who he is and as a result the media will be able to define him.
One of the reasons I supported Trump for the second term was that Trump was unshakeable, had taken everything they could throw at him and was still standing. That meant they had nothing they could use against him anymore. DeSantis will be fresh meat. Granted, so too would be Rubio or Vance, but they at least have gone through a lot of this and the public will know the dirt the media digs up is purely political.
At any rate Vance was the logical choice and unfortunately he's blowing up his chances (and perhaps ours) with this. I'm willing to give him another chance, but he'd better straighten up and fly right. We do NOT need another Benedict RNCold.

China Promoted BLM Violence
Timothy Birdnow
China plotted to gin up BLM violence in the U.S.
Trump must punish China and hard. We now know they tampered with our elections and stole huge amounts of voter data. We now know they fomented violence to cause turmoil and even death in our communities. Trump is going to have to hit them hard - harder than he has been hitting them already.
From the Federalist article:
The Chinese planned to stoke Black Lives Matter riots and other social unrest in 2020, using the corporate media to launder the narrative in order to tank the election for President Donald Trump, according to documents released by the White House on Thursday.
Intelligence summaries from 2020, which were apparently hidden from the president at the time, show that the Chinese planned on "encouraging violent demonstrations and looting to increase the appearance of social unrest” ahead of the election, and to "exploit U.S. societal fissures and vulnerabilities,” in part by "alleging that White people hate Black people.”
In international affairs you have to respond to stuff like this or you show weakness and will wind up trampled under foot by every nation. Biden showed that. Trump will have to take punitive action against the Chicoms.
The Federalist continues:
The Chinese were interested in "inciting demonstrations and marches as evidence of racial divides; increasing the level of conflict between police and anti-racism activists; and feeding any sense that U.S. law enforcement resents USG and people of color,” according to one intelligence summary from a "sensitive government agency.”
The document stated that "China had developed capabilities to project themes on these topics into social media (Tiktok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others), as well as mainstream media through a variety of overt and hidden influencers and media contributors.”
In other words, the documents highlight the potential that the corporate media fueling race riots and unrest in 2020 were either knowingly pushing Chinese propaganda to alter the election, or were too dense to realize it.
The Chicoms knew they had willing allies in the media and on social media platforms and they obviously used them.
In a bygone era this would have led to war. Now we dare not fight the Chinese (partly because we helped them build ICBM's when the Clinton Administration gave Loral Aerospace a waiver to help them fix their satellite launch rockets - thus giving them the ability to launch intercontinental missiles carrying nuclear weapons) and partly because they can send in millions of soldiers if we fight them on conventional grounds. It also hurts us that our economy is still tied to theirs, although less so since Trump started the laborious job of decoupling the two.
As things stand Trump has been squeezing them like citrus fruit and they are starting to feel the pinch. Gas is limited thanks to the Iran war. Their trade has dropped off. They are in an economic downturn with little hope of getting out thanks to the resumption of manufacturing in the U.S. under Trump's policies.
So how Trump can punish them is a good question. But I'm sure there are ways open to him.
The article continues:
In other words, the documents highlight the potential that the corporate media fueling race riots and unrest in 2020 were either knowingly pushing Chinese propaganda to alter the election, or were too dense to realize it.
The media encouraged demands for a "racial reckoning,” corporate capitulation to the BLM mob, billions in damages from burning American cities to the ground, and the degradation of institutions in order to unevenly apply the law on racial grounds, apparently in line with the wishes of the Chinese government.
Some in the media, however, appeared to not only advance Chinese propaganda, but also to orchestrate cover for the Chinese once people started to catch wind.
And I do not believe for a minute the media was not aware they were pushing Chinese propaganda. The media is full of traitors.
In September 2020, The Heritage Foundation highlighted the possibility of Chinese influence in the BLM riots. Heritage noted that 95 percent of the riots were linked to BLM and pointed out evidence that Chinese activist groups were funding them, stating, "The U.S. government should connect the dots and investigate the extent of the Chinese Communist Party’s support for the Black Lives Matter organization and the riots.”
One month later, when the argument started gaining steam — and only a few weeks out from Election Day — Axios dutifully ran the headline "Right-wing media falsely ties Black Lives Matter movement to Beijing.”
Axios explicitly supported the BLM riots. CEO Jim VandeHei encouraged his staff to join them and said the company would pay for bail if they were arrested and medical bills if they were injured.
"We proudly support and encourage you to exercise your rights to free speech, press, and protest. If you’re arrested or meet harm while exercising these rights, Axios will stand behind you and use the Family Fund to cover your bail or assist with medical bills,” he said in an email to staff.
The folks at Axios ought to be investigated for espionage. In a more sane time that is exactly what would have happened.

I'm sure that Trump is way ahead of his "friend" Xi on this, and he and his advisors will gin up some clever ways to ratchet up the pressure -- and not just by buying less Kikkoman soy sauce, or hiking tariffs on same.

I'm sure he is putting together some fit punishments Dana. They are going to have to be big and they are going to have to be painful otherwise Trump looks like, well, Joe Biden.
Trump wouldn't have announced this publicly if he didn't intend on taking action - he committed himself. The question is how hard will tshtf?
I wonder if Trump doesn't have an even grander strategy than we know. Perhaps he thinks we can drive the communists out of power in China? Now THAT would be thinking big.

Idle Threats
Timothy Birdnow
Try it I dare you!
Netanyahu is the head of a sovereign state and as such has diplomatic immunity. Mamdani is only the mayor of a city. If he should have Nettanyahu arrested that would break the law - and give the U.S. government grounds to arrest HIM.
I'd love to see the socialist fool try it..
From X:
Ambassador Mike Waltz
@michaelgwaltz
Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:
1. The U.S. is not party to the Rome Statute that underlies the ICC,
2. The UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of gov’t,
3. head-of-state immunity applies, &
4. federal authority trumps any local mayor’s wishes.
This is pure political theater.
justthenews.com/government/loc…
Mike Waltz is the American Ambassador to the United Nations.
Jazzhands Mamdani isn't going to arrest anyone. But it would sure be fun to watch him try.

Methinks that Mamdani knows he needs to keep his grubbies well off Bibi, but he's just making noise to try to impress his Commie cohorts. I really don't think he's stupid enough to try to grab a head of a sovereign state just to show how big his own head is.

Hawaiian Sup Court Justice Trashes SCOTUS
Timothy Birdnow
Another reason why Hawaii is not part of America and should be kicked out of the Union.
This Hawaiian supreme court justice not only ignored the U.S. Supreme Court but openly trashed the conservatives on the court and accused them of hubris. What kind of hubris does it take to pull this?
We've got to find a way to rein in these lawless judges.
Maybe California and Hawaii can leave the union and form their own country? I don't care; I'd like to see both tossed. Let them enjoy the socialist paradise they both seem so hell bent to create (Sorry Bill and Mike).

The Dumb Shall Speak
Timothy Birdnow
When the Bible said the dumb shall speak it wasn't kidding!
Now the Jim Crow laws were introduced at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, after not just the Civil War but after Reconstruction ended. I suppose AOC thinks the American Revolution happened around that time too.
As Bugs Bunny would say "what a maroon".
As an aside the name Jim Crow is obscure but it probably comes from a minstrel show, or so many scholars believe.

Electronic Tower of Babel
Timothy Birdnow
It always starts in the universities.
From American Thinker:
The central question is not whether large-scale migration has been encouraged; evidence supports that conclusion. The real mystery is how so many institutions, in so many countries, arrived at the same destination nearly simultaneously.
When I was in college back in the eighties the big push was "multiculturalism". All the more political professors (and many were not back then, although few were actually conservative) were pushing this idea "diversity is our strength". I didn't bother to tell these dopes that diversity did so very much for the Balkans, or for India, Or Africa, but then I couldn't afford to get a bad grade. At any rate they were pushing "diversity" as if it were a command from the Almighty Himself.
So how do you get "diversity" in the Western World? Especially in lilly white Europe you will need to import it en masse.
And the U.S. required that too because multiculturalism was just that - multi culture. It was not supposed to be a melting pot as America had been. I realized that after a short time, that my professors were talking about not bringing Unum from e pluribus but rather of bringing radically different cultures together in the same space. The idea was that people should walk around wearing Burkhas and bikinis right next to each-other. Immigrants were to keep their cultures as opposed to adopt ours.
The real reason for multiculturalism was not the stated, of course; it was to tear down our traditional Western civilization and rebuild it with new "material" aka people. Breed out the "whiteness" by overrunning it with Third World types. Eventually a term was coined by our side for what they had in mind - the Great Replacement.
Eventually they knew that mass immigration would break the bonds of fealty between Americans (or British, or Australians, or whoever) as there would no longer be a specific American anymore. Just an amorphous, multicultural blob And this blob would see no reason to love America, which would just be a geographical location and not an idea, a family, a heritage. We would all become workers in a worker's paradise, just as the Communists wanted. And we would end up with a world government overseeing it all.
That was the plan and that is why they first started with multiculturalism. (Actually they first started with the special treatment of "historically discriminated against groups" with special privileges granted by law to black folks or other minorities.) But it was the multiculturalism movement that opened the door to opening the door. You can't have a multicultural society in a homogenous one. So you need to recruit the "balance" you are seeking.
This has been just one of a generations-long plot by the Marxists facilitated by academia and then government policy. Oh, and let's not forget the one world industrialists who see people primarily as consumers and laborers - as commodities to be traded.
At any rate the author of this essay is right although he fails to give specifics. He concludes that a vast web of funding through multiple groups and organizations and corporate interests has produced this but he doesn't tell us which. (Actually, all one need do is go to David Horowitz's
Discover the Networks where the former Communist turned right wing Lion lays bare the funding of all sorts of nasty stuff. A lot of that funding comes from Western governments too, I might add, including the United States. USAID distributed much of it.
This is a dream of the modern Left going back to the nineteenth century and now coming to fruition. Whole nations are disappearing before our eyes in an effort to remake the world under one government and run by the elites - a new form of feudalism. Worker drones distinguishable by their marked brown pigmentation and the ruling class who is not. The Nazi dream did not come out of a vacuum and the destruction of America and other such places is but the revenge of the Nazis. Instead of focusing on wiping out the "mud races" as they see them they are co-opting them to wipe out the Judeo-Christtian worldview and the Peoples who defended it. Then they will put themselves at the head of a world governing system (and, as most are malthusians, probably slowly eliminate the worker drone class when time permits).
This project will fail one way or another in the end, but it will cause untold misery in the process. It is arguable that the nation-state is the best we flawed humans can do, that anything larger is too unwieldy to govern justly (look at the Roman Empire, which governed through sheer force then split apart.) Certainly the Bible warned against building empires - Nimrod tried that and his tower of Babel was intended to be his crowning achievement but God smote him for it and broke up his empire and scattered everyone. This is little more than a modern, electronic version of that same scheme.
It will fail one way or another, but in the process some very dear things will be lost.

China Paid Journos to Trash Trump
Timothy Birdnow
In addition to hacking our voter data base the Chicoms were also apparently paying journalists to trash Trump (who were happy enough to do it for free) in the leadup to the 2020 election.
I'm sure it didn't take much money to buy their journalistic integrity.

Are you able to order pasta for family using this pasta pass or is that exclusively for the person with the card at the table.
I dont know about it you, but it'd feel really weird with just one person having unlimited pasta while everyone awkwardly waits.

No. The Never-Ending Pasta Pass is only for use by the Passholder whose name is printed on the Pass. Passes are personalized and non-transferable. Passholders must present a valid photo I.D. along with the Pass at the time of ordering.

My lady and I used to love the Olive Garden... until they made lots of modifications to their menu during or after COVID, and the next time we went in we were NOT happy. Awhile later we ended up there with the singers from our quartet, and while they seemed to be having a good time, my wife and I quietly vowed it would be our absolute last time in that restaurant. The only thing that was still decent was the wine and even that wasn't as good as it used to be.

I remember I used to like Olive Garden way back when. But ww had too many great local Italian restaurants so we rarely went there. We have a local pasta chain like Olive Garden in St. Louis called Pasta House and there were more of them around. Oh, and the food was better at Pasta House.
Too bad they declined. I think Pepsico bought them out (I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure some chain did.)
You don't need to do something like a never ending pasta bowl if your food was top quality, I would add.

More on Vote Fraud
Timothy Birdnow
According to DHS Nevada, a low population state
has 15,000 illegal aliens registered to vote. Given the number of Republicans and Democrats are in a dead tie at 581 thousand and change (the Democrats are slightly ahead by a few hundred registrations) a 12,000 vote shift can be very significant.
This is interesting in that it shows the number of Democrats have seen a slight downtick over the last five years or so, but so have the Republicans - and the number of independents has been growing. Illegal aliens probably wouldn't register as Democrats in order to hide the fact.
In other election news a CIA report
wwarned that Venezuela could have tampered with our elections by hacking the Dominion vote machines used in many states (interestingly enough, Venezuela used them and Maduro won big - Canada, meanwhile, stopped using them because they were hackable.)
At this point one has to ask if we even have anything akin to an election. It appears the last few years in particular have been nothing but kabuki theater, a Potemkin village to make it appear like there are elections when in fact our leaders are selected and not elected.
We need jail terms - lots of jail terms and long ones too. Until vote fraud becomes something people fear to do it will keep happening, and the Democrats will keep "winning" and America will keep declining.

AdVancing to the RINO
Timothy Birdnow
You all may remember I had serious misgivings about J.d. Vance when Trump picked him. Vance had sided with the elites against Trump but switched sides when it became obvious Trump wasn't going down.
At any rate Vance is starting to say some disturbing things.
Vance is sounding more and more like Tucker Carlson when he went insane. He is increasingly anti-Israel. I am growing alarmed by what I am seeing; before now I would have stood with him for President. Now I may have to go Rubio if it comes down to a choice between the two. Rubio, of course, betrayed us with the Gang of eight when he joined McCain in trying to amnetize all the illegal aliens.(Lindsey Graham was on board too which is why I never warmed to him. It earned him the nickname Lindsey Grahamnesty from Rush Limbaugh.)
At any rate I'm not prepared to throw Vance out but he's definitely making some disturbing comments these days and I wonder how committed he is to the MAGA cause.

The Climate Alarmist Money Machine
Timothy Birdnow
So who funds the climate alarmist scam?
As the article points out the The Inflation Reduction Act alone funded it to the tune of $369 billion dollars, and that was just one part of overall funding.
BTW I hadn't heard of the
Clintel World Climate Declaration, which featured 1,609 scientists who dispute the alarmist climate view. Usually in arguments with the Gang Green (who are forever claiming Big Oil funds "climate denialism" while their side is just honest scientists and who further claim there are no scientists who dispute the global warming narrative I cite the Oregon Petition which featured 40,000 signatures from scientists but the Oregon Petition is a bit long in the tooth. This is much newer. I have to remember this.
At any rate there is far, far more money on the side of the alarmists. Often when the media types look at this they only count organizations getting direct funding but ignore the backdoor channels that pump vast sums of cash into the movement. When all is said and done there is a vast funding network worldwide that dwarfs the modest funding "deniers" get. Even the oil companies - especially Exxon Mobile these days - are funding alarmism.
We have truth on our side tough, which the Gang Green is finding...inconvenient.

It's the Radiation Stupid!
Richard Cronin:
The heightened Ultraviolet radiation that triggered the great migrations of Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens out of Africa is the same contributor and arguably the most significant cause of major climate variations since the start of the Holocene. There is no such things as the Anthropocene. Human activity resulted in the Urban Heat Island. Any deforestation is more than amply offset by the expansion of forests in the higher northern latitudes.
