Government Shutdown Could Lead to Firings
Timothy Birdnow
As Tim Allen would grunt on his old Home Improvement show, ho, ho,hooo, hoooo, ho!
Government Shut Down Would Let the White House PERMANENTLY Fire Government Employees
What's chuckie gonna do? How's he gonna explain to the union folks that he cost them their jobs?
Tyrler Durden explains at Zerohedge:
But Trump is not bound by past precedent and he's serious about reducing the size and scope of government. Of course there will be hell to pay and tthe courts will certainly intervene, possibly leading all the way up to the Suprme Court, which may have to decide if the law making it difficult to fire employees with documentable cause.
The article continues:
Schumer is between a rock and a hard place, and he put himself there by threatening to go to the mat on this. Now he either enrages his lunatic fringe base or he enrages his labor base. Either way Trump has put him in a box.
What Schumer and the other old line Democrats don't understand is the old political tactics don't work on Trump because he doesn't play by the same rules as the GOP Establishment. Trump operates like a businessman, with clear goals and a pragmatic approach to how he governs. Republicans were always constrained with the "gentlemanly rules" accrued over two centuries. Trump won't do what Republicans have always done, which is to make a show of it and then cave in the end. Schumer has spent his life playing that charade, the puffery of the eternal opposition party collapsing when faced with political peril of any sort. Now he's up against a guy who could not be taken out by any sort of threat or even violence, and he's still trying to use the old playbook because he doesn't have a clue as to how to create a new, effective tactic.
Youu played hardball Chuck (and Hakeem) and you lost. Tip; never take your little league team up against the MLB champions.

White House Orders Agencies to Prepare Mass Layoff Plans in Event of Shutdown
The White House budget office has instructed federal agencies to prepare to fire a ton of people (aka ‘reduction-in-force’ plans) that could permanently eliminate jobs in the event of a government shutdown – the latest twist in the latest shutdown groundhog day – effectively challenging Democrats to a game of chicken.
In a memo shared with agencies Wednesday, the Office of Management and Budget said departments must identify programs where discretionary funding will lapse on Oct. 1 and no alternative source is available. Instead of a typical furlough, OMB has told agencies to get ready for permanent reductions – starting with positions that are out of alignment with President Donald Trump’s priorities.
In the past, affected employees were furloughed on a temporary basis and reinstated once Congress approved new spending. Not this time – as OMB Director Russ Vought is using the prospect of deep cuts as leverage against the Democrats.

"Programs that did not benefit from an infusion of mandatory appropriations will bear the brunt of a shutdown,” reads the OMB memo – with agencies instructed to submit their proposed RIF plans and to issue notices to employees who might otherwise be excepted or furloughed during a lapse in funding, Politico reports.
Core services – including Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, military operations, law enforcement, immigration enforcement and air traffic control – would continue regardless of a shutdown, according to an OMB official familiar with the guidance.
At the heart of the deadlock, Democrats are demanding that any short-term spending measure include an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that are due to expire, as well as broader negotiations on domestic priorities. Republicans, by contrast, are pushing to advance a leaner stopgap bill already passed by the House that would fund the government through Nov. 21 while largely preserving Trump administration priorities and holding the line on additional healthcare spending.
The memo arrives days before the Sept. 30 deadline to avert a lapse in government funding. The House has passed a short-term measure to keep operations running through Nov. 21, but Senate Democrats have rejected the plan, insisting on negotiations over a broader bipartisan package that could extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Americans have Given More than Required
Timothy Birdnow
Polls; I've long argued they are full of balogna, or something even less pleasant. This one certainly does nothing to shore up my confidence in them.
This particular trash document was a WaPo/Ispos poll which claims Trump is under water on overall popularity, but also on immigration. Now that last is odd, and is the main subject of the article linked above.
Here is what the article says:
And yet Trump won handily in the last election despite being a convicted felon (well, not technically since sentence was never imposed) and that was in no small measure because of rage against the Biden Administration over opening the U.S. wide to the inthrust of aliens. Like a harlot welcoming any man and giving birth to his bastard spawn (who grow up to be serial killers like Charles Manson). The election was the real poll.
But the media is forever running polls because the wording and who is polled can impact what they say, and polls are designed as a tool for bandwagoning. It's pscyhological warfare 1010. Advertisers use that trick all the time, telling you how big they are and how many people want to be part of that. Polls are used in precisely that same way, to make people want to join the "majority side". But they are all lies and we know they are because the last election had Harris winning and she lost. In fact, the last few Republican victories had the Democrats winning and they lost, and that is because the polls were slanted to bandwagon the public.
The Washington Post is one of the most leftist news outlets in the country and this is exactly the result they would want if the actual numbers are reversed and the public supports Trump and the job he's doing with immigration.
Oh, there ARE a lot of Conservatives unhappy with the job he's doing, but that's because he's not moving fast enough. No doubt they were added to the mix to give the impression people hate kicking out illegals.
You will notice the poll didn't ask WHY people were unhappy with Trump's performance.
The article goes on to explain the dichotomy:
No, it's not tough at all. It's easy. It's one of the easiest things in the world; we have laws in place, laws passed BY CONGRESS to deal with the problem. In a democratic republic such as ours that makes it a no-brainer; the laws trump our gooey goood hearts. If it really bothers us enough we can make Congress amend the laws, either temporarily or permanently. Until then one must follow the law. That is why we say we have the "rule of law" and it is one of the most important concepts in the Western World. Laws, not men, rule the land. Men make or change the laws but men cannot and must not abridge the laws or ignore them (as they have been doing with illiegal invaders) based on the say-so of an executive or a bureaucrat or even a whimsical poll by WaPo/Ipsos.
That is why America is not a democracy and never was intended to be such. Democracies blow with whatever wind happens to gust at a particular moment. The Founders understood the dangers of immediate passions and so put in place a very conservative (small c) system full of checks and balances to make any change to the system difficult. It had to be a pressing need to make amending the law worth doing. And the law, and not men, was supposed to rule.
So it's not a difficult issue at all. You obey the law and work to amend it if you don't like it. You don't just ignore it.
Democrats always just ignore laws they do not like because they believe in a radical kind of democracy where whatever flighty whim the public gets is implemented. That's how you wind up with things like tampons in boys rooms.
But it's worse than the public whim; the Founders had read their Greek phiolsophers and read their Platon and Aristotle. They knew that democracy inevitably led to a tyrannny as the public would be led by one man or one well-organized group in time, just to avoid chaos. The word demogogue comes from the Greek and has at it's root the same word that gives us democracy. It means to work people up, to twist their thinking and minds with words and thus stampede them - cattle like - in the direction the wannabe tyrant wishes them to go. In the end you wind up with an oligarchy, or a despotate.
For decades the media and their political allies in the Democratic and not so Democratic (aka RINO Republican) parties wanted open borders. They seek to replace the old stock of Americans who were independent and who wanted a say in how they were governed, and ffound a new America, a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, socialist loving entity.
But multi-ethnic and multi-cultural do not work and never did; just look at the Balkans. America's genius was we took many ethnicities and cultures and blended them together under the supra-culture of America itself. People came here and adopted our ways. They learned English. They learned our economic system. They adopted our clothing, or idioms, our pride in our history and culture. Their children were Americans even if they were not. But the new idea is instead off a melting pot, instead of e pluribus unum, we should be a salad, with undigestible bits of debris from every culture and race and tradition all existing side by side with nothing connecting them but geography. Out of one many would be their motto (E uno pluribi? Don't know Latin).
This is how we create world government; break any loyalty to nations or ethnicities or tradition or culture in favor of this multi-cultural hodgepodge and transfer loyalty to a united Earth. It's the same scam every wannabe world conqueror has tried. Alexander the Great tried it with Pan-Hellenism, imposing Greek culture on his conquests in Egypt, in Mesopotamia, in Persia. The Romans tried it to a lesser degree. The British tried it in their own colonial empire and now Britain has largely been conquered by that very empire they built. I could go on but the point is made; this is an old, old dream going all the way back to the Biblical Nimrod and his Tower of Babel. And it's never worked because we are not herd animals and someone always tries to grab an unfair advantage.
The Communists tried it in the old Warsaw Pact and failed.
Humanity is never going to be like Star Trek, with a unified Earth and a growing, peaceful Federation of planets. Inevitably those planets would turn on each-other. (In Star Trek we learn the Vulcans and Andorians - those blue guys with slug antennae - hated each-other and were in a cold war with each-other. Just joining the Federation would do nothing to prevent the war, in fact it would probably make the war happen all the sooner as the two parties would no longer worry about total annihilation.)
At any rate I believe this poll is pure gaslighting. Anyone with half a brain knows that securing the border is a huge benefit to all of America. Weepy sentimentality aside, Americans have given more than was ever required of them by God or decency.

This particular trash document was a WaPo/Ispos poll which claims Trump is under water on overall popularity, but also on immigration. Now that last is odd, and is the main subject of the article linked above.
Here is what the article says:
Opinions are more mixed when it comes to Trump’s handling of immigration.
According to the WaPo/Ipsos poll, 47 percent of registered voters approve of the job that Trump is doing with respect to that subject, compared to 52 percent who disapprove — a five-point difference in the red for the incumbent.
That narrows to a two-point differential among men (48 percent approve vs. 52 percent disapprove), though Trump’s handling of immigration is wildly popular with Republican adults, 88 percent of whom approve and just 11 percent of whom disapprove.
Among Independents, just 34 percent approve of the president’s handling of immigration, while 64 percent disapprove — a 30-point hole that rises to 81 points among Democrats (9 percent approval vs. 90 percent disapproval).
How Many Immigrants Should Have Been Deported?
WaPo and Ipsos next asked an unusual question: "Thinking about immigrants who were deported by the Trump administration this year, in your opinion, how many of them should have been deported?”
In response, half — 50 percent — of registered voters said "nearly all” (30 percent) or "most” (20 percent) of the aliens deported under Trump should have been removed, whereas 47 percent said that "less than half” (24 percent) or "hardly any” (23 percent) of them should have required to go.
It’s not entirely clear from the question generally or from those negative responses whether: (1) a large minority of Americans think DHS is deporting aliens in violation of law; (2) many in the public appreciate the stringent requirements DHS must legally satisfy to physically deport any given alien from the United States; and/or (3) a bunch of Americans don’t think anyone here illegally should be forced to leave.
Regardless, a slight majority plainly thinks the Trump administration is doing what the law requires in removing aliens from the United States.
Which Party Would Do a Better Job Handling Immigration?
Which brings me to "question 25c” in the WaPo/Ipsos poll: "Which political party do you trust to do a better job handling immigration?”
In response, a solid plurality of registered voters, 46 percent, put more faith in the GOP to handle immigration, while just 29 percent trusted Democrats, a 17-point gap in favor of the current majority party in the House and Senate.
Nearly a quarter, 24 percent, of registered voters didn’t trust either party.

The article goes on to explain the dichotomy:
During a September 2021 interview with ABC’s "Good Morning America”, former President Obama likely spoke for most Americans when he explained:
Immigration is tough. It always has been because, on the one hand, I think we are naturally a people that wants to help others. And we see tragedy and hardship and families that are desperately trying to get here so that their kids are safe, and they're in some cases fleeing violence or catastrophe. ... At the same time, we're a nation state. We have borders. The idea that we can just have open borders is something that ... as a practical matter, is unsustainable.

Lookie here; a bunch of lunatice lefties paid WITCHES to put a curse on Charlie Kirk.
Yes, Etsy "has a hex for everything" and this particular witch (literaly and figureatively)put a curse on Charlie because of "his obsession with telling women what to do or his aggressively large head, but the far-right podcaster’s presence is more irritating than most".
So, bossing around women (something Charlie never did as far as anyone knows) and having a large head makes one a target for a spiritual demonic attack?
This wicked witch shows she is both evil and monumentally ignroant:
Who ever said Turning Point USA was about "charity"? It was always about restoring the America that the Left has sought to destroy, and about promoting Christ. (Remember the Bible said the world would hate us because first it hated Him.) And who is doing propaganda? Most of these kids were not flaming liberals until they got to college and were drowned in leftist bullcrap.
All Charlie did was talk to the, offer them an alternative view. The MONSTER!
So this witch hexed him.
She asks:
It never occurs to her to defeat him with superior logic and reasoned arguments. She has to fight unfairly because she cannot allow the words out of his mouth. If she had a real argument she would have shown up at one of his rallies and debated him, but she didn't. After all, Kirk was in the citadel of power for people like this woman in the first place; it should have been easy to win the argument if her beliefs were superior to his.
She knows in her black little heart they are not and she is wrong. So she has to strangle the messanger.
Oh, to make herself feel good about being evil she argues:
I doubt that satisfied her and when she cast her spell, meaning she called on Satan and his dark angels, she opened the door to great evil and it's unlikely they would stop with zits or swollen thumbs.
Her first spell was an abject failure "MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM,” she typed into Etsy. Guess what? More people love him now than ever! Your cursings may have taken his life but he's now more powerful and beloved than he ever was or would be while alive.
I find this part interesting:
It apprently worked better than she planned; it wasn't just zits and swollen thumbs and the like. Charlie's head was engulfed, in blood. How proud she must be!
I had some witches hex me a while ago, at least I tend to believe they did. They were all lathered up at Etzy about an article I wrote and some thrreated to do it. (Oddly enough I actually got some respect from some of the witches, who called me a "Big gun" for Christians. More respect than from the atheists I've tangled with over the years.) The hex didn't take up too much of my time, although I wonder if some of the troubles I had could be related.
BTW suffering for the love of Christ is a badge of honor; a witches hex on a Christian - assuming it works - is doing a kindness to him or her.
One interesting thing that happened to me though; I starteed having night terrors again, after decades. I used to "enjoy" them as a child but they went away. Then about a year ago they started up again. It was a considerable time after my run-in with the witches though so it probably didn't have anything to do with them.
Night terrors are when you see visions in your sleep. They hit at the shallow end of the sleep cycle and are quite different from nightmares, which hit deep. At any rate you see people and - things. I was having them and while they weren't as bad as when I was a child I certainly wasn't enjoying them. I started saying the Prayer of St. Michael before bed.
Not long after I started that I had a very different sort of night terror; a woman sitting next to me as I slept. She was forty-ish, good looking but not beautiful, shoulder-length chestnut brown hair, very straight, and wearing a kind of flowing cream-colored gown. She sat next to me, reading intently from a leather bound book in her lap. She was holding a large candle too and the light lit the room in a dull glow. I felt safe with her, even though it's quite disconcerting to wake up and find someone sitting next to you as you sleep. I felt she wasn't there for malicious puproses but rather like a nurse watching over a patient. I went back to sleep.
The next night I awoke to a group of people at the other end of my room and they were speaking softly to one another (a rarity; most night terrors are silent, or at least mine tend to be) and I heard one say "better leave him alone; he's guarded by angels." and that ws the last night terror I had. Draw your own conclusions from that.
At any rate whether you believe in hexes or not, whether you believe in angels or demons, witches or saints, is up to you. But some do believe, and there are those with the malice to try to use supernatural forces to hurt someone they do not like. Charlie Kirk would be a very attractive figure for demonic attack, after all.
I apparently wasn't in the same league with Charlie. Or it was all nonsense. Either way I'm alive and he's not.
The point is there is so very much hatred in the human heart these days, and there are evil people who hate God and their fellow Man. Obviously witcheepooh here was one such. There are no doubt plenty more. And they are all gathered together in their father's name, whether they go by Antifa, or Black Lives Matter, or Planned Parenthood, or Queer Rebellion or any other dark arts organization which seeks destruction and chaos and despair. Satan is clearly rising. He is in great anger because he knows his time is short.
Just so you know I don't really believe in hexes, at least none that really work. But I am not so arrogant as to assume that because I don't understand something it must not be real. As Shakespeare said "there are more thing under Heaven and on Earth, Horation, than is dreamt in your philosophy".

So, bossing around women (something Charlie never did as far as anyone knows) and having a large head makes one a target for a spiritual demonic attack?
This wicked witch shows she is both evil and monumentally ignroant:
" If you’ve never heard of him (I envy you), he debates college kids for sport, pops up on Fox News, and founded the right-wing conspiracy theory factory Turning Point USA. Billed as a "nonprofit,” Turning Point is less about charity and more about funneling far-right propaganda into dorm rooms under the guise of "educating” young voters. Through these various ventures, Kirk has transformed into a reliable pawn, parroting Project 2025 talking points and championing the owning-of-the-libs. He’s basically a fake news vending machine with a terrible haircut.
Who ever said Turning Point USA was about "charity"? It was always about restoring the America that the Left has sought to destroy, and about promoting Christ. (Remember the Bible said the world would hate us because first it hated Him.) And who is doing propaganda? Most of these kids were not flaming liberals until they got to college and were drowned in leftist bullcrap.
All Charlie did was talk to the, offer them an alternative view. The MONSTER!
So this witch hexed him.
She asks:
"Now, is it ethical to curse a man I’ve never met? Probably not. But is it unethical to let him keep talking? Yes. So here we are, in the gray area.
It never occurs to her to defeat him with superior logic and reasoned arguments. She has to fight unfairly because she cannot allow the words out of his mouth. If she had a real argument she would have shown up at one of his rallies and debated him, but she didn't. After all, Kirk was in the citadel of power for people like this woman in the first place; it should have been easy to win the argument if her beliefs were superior to his.
She knows in her black little heart they are not and she is wrong. So she has to strangle the messanger.
Oh, to make herself feel good about being evil she argues:
"I want to make it clear, I’m not calling on dark forces to cause him harm. I just want him to wake up every morning with an inexplicable zit. I want his podcast microphone to malfunction every time he hits record. I want his blue blazers to suddenly all be one size too small. I want one of his socks to always be sliding down his foot. I want his thumb to grow too big to tweet. To ruin his day with the collective feminist power of the Etsy coven would be my life’s greatest joy.
I doubt that satisfied her and when she cast her spell, meaning she called on Satan and his dark angels, she opened the door to great evil and it's unlikely they would stop with zits or swollen thumbs.
Her first spell was an abject failure "MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM,” she typed into Etsy. Guess what? More people love him now than ever! Your cursings may have taken his life but he's now more powerful and beloved than he ever was or would be while alive.
I find this part interesting:
"For the "POWERFUL HEX SPELL,” I had to provide Kirk’s date of birth for "accuracy.” The witch performed the hex, but her response was unsettling: "I just completed your spell, and it was successful. You will see the first results within 2–3 weeks. However, I did notice disturbances… negative energy not only from you, but projected at you. Likely from toxic family members, co-workers, or new acquaintances.”"
This goofy woman paid extra for a spell to curse Charlie. The witch in question find malice around her; well DUH! Anyone trying to curse a total stranger is chock-full of malice, you dope!
The spell cast involved:
"The next day, the Priestess sent me her proof of cast: a photograph in flames, the edges slowly curving inward, engulfing Charlie’s ridiculous scrunched-up little face.

It apprently worked better than she planned; it wasn't just zits and swollen thumbs and the like. Charlie's head was engulfed, in blood. How proud she must be!
I had some witches hex me a while ago, at least I tend to believe they did. They were all lathered up at Etzy about an article I wrote and some thrreated to do it. (Oddly enough I actually got some respect from some of the witches, who called me a "Big gun" for Christians. More respect than from the atheists I've tangled with over the years.) The hex didn't take up too much of my time, although I wonder if some of the troubles I had could be related.
BTW suffering for the love of Christ is a badge of honor; a witches hex on a Christian - assuming it works - is doing a kindness to him or her.
One interesting thing that happened to me though; I starteed having night terrors again, after decades. I used to "enjoy" them as a child but they went away. Then about a year ago they started up again. It was a considerable time after my run-in with the witches though so it probably didn't have anything to do with them.
Night terrors are when you see visions in your sleep. They hit at the shallow end of the sleep cycle and are quite different from nightmares, which hit deep. At any rate you see people and - things. I was having them and while they weren't as bad as when I was a child I certainly wasn't enjoying them. I started saying the Prayer of St. Michael before bed.
Not long after I started that I had a very different sort of night terror; a woman sitting next to me as I slept. She was forty-ish, good looking but not beautiful, shoulder-length chestnut brown hair, very straight, and wearing a kind of flowing cream-colored gown. She sat next to me, reading intently from a leather bound book in her lap. She was holding a large candle too and the light lit the room in a dull glow. I felt safe with her, even though it's quite disconcerting to wake up and find someone sitting next to you as you sleep. I felt she wasn't there for malicious puproses but rather like a nurse watching over a patient. I went back to sleep.
The next night I awoke to a group of people at the other end of my room and they were speaking softly to one another (a rarity; most night terrors are silent, or at least mine tend to be) and I heard one say "better leave him alone; he's guarded by angels." and that ws the last night terror I had. Draw your own conclusions from that.
At any rate whether you believe in hexes or not, whether you believe in angels or demons, witches or saints, is up to you. But some do believe, and there are those with the malice to try to use supernatural forces to hurt someone they do not like. Charlie Kirk would be a very attractive figure for demonic attack, after all.
I apparently wasn't in the same league with Charlie. Or it was all nonsense. Either way I'm alive and he's not.
The point is there is so very much hatred in the human heart these days, and there are evil people who hate God and their fellow Man. Obviously witcheepooh here was one such. There are no doubt plenty more. And they are all gathered together in their father's name, whether they go by Antifa, or Black Lives Matter, or Planned Parenthood, or Queer Rebellion or any other dark arts organization which seeks destruction and chaos and despair. Satan is clearly rising. He is in great anger because he knows his time is short.
Just so you know I don't really believe in hexes, at least none that really work. But I am not so arrogant as to assume that because I don't understand something it must not be real. As Shakespeare said "there are more thing under Heaven and on Earth, Horation, than is dreamt in your philosophy".

Walrus Hunt

It seems EVERYONE in D.C. was keeping classified documents but only Trump was raided for doing so - when he had the authority to actually have them.

Fear and Trembling in Leftist Land
Timothy Birdnow
Has the radical Left realized they have overplayed their hand and now want to pull in their horns? At least some think so.
I don't know if these groups can actually cage the beast they have released now.
From the Daily Caller:
A scorpion is a scorpion and it is in it's nature to sting. They might realize they shouldn't but I suspect they can't help themselves. Certainly they WANT to sting and repeatedly. Murder and mayhem and hatred is their god.
I love this little snippet:
Hah! The reason they murdered Kirk was because he was creaming them on the debate stage in the first place. Their lies and shibboleths were being exposed by Charlie and he was winning huge numbers of young people to both Christ and Conservatism. So I'm all for it; bring it on! The more they talk the less people will like what they are selling.
Some of them know it too, if they are unwilling to admit to it. Read the whole article.

From the Daily Caller:
As the world reacted in horror to the news, many in socialist or Antifa-affiliated circles fretted that the assassination has turned too many people away from their radical cause, energized the right, made Kirk a "martyr” and given the Trump administration a new opening to crack down on far-left activist networks.
"We do not call for individual acts of assassination, not because the powerful do not deserve to be challenged, but because such acts almost always strengthen the very machinery we are trying to dismantle … We must build the structures that make violence less likely not through pacifist sermons but through concrete mutual aid, through tenant unions, workplace committees, solidarity funds, free clinics, radical education,” reads a Sept. 13 article from the anarchist blog, "The Slow Burning Fuse.” A self-described "Anarchist Communist Group” reposted the piece on its own website.
"If we are serious about ending political violence, we must be serious about ending capitalism,” the article says. The Slow Burning Fuse and Anarchist Communist Group did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

Robinson’s family said the 22-year-old had become increasingly left-leaning in recent years and was dating a transgender roommate, authorities have said. The shooter left phrases such as "hey fascist! CATCH!” and the anti-fascist phrase "Bella ciao” engraved on cartridges that were found with the murder weapon.
The Oregon-based group Corvallis Antifascists also sounded the alarm about the assassination’s ripple effects in a Sept. 16 post on NoBlogs, an obscure website for far-left bloggers. The post noted that Kirk’s death "has done much to galvanize and unify America’s right-wing” and sparked large vigils in Kirk’s honor.
Moreover, Corvallis Antifascists criticized black-clothed, Antifa-style protesters who have disrupted Christian worship events in liberal cities such as Seattle. The group called the protests "unequivocal optical and tactical failures” for the Antifa movement.
"Simply put, black-bloc counters of what appear to be normie worship events with children in attendance is a decidedly bad look and contributes to the American conservative persecution narrative, galvanizing otherwise politically inactive conservatives,” the group wrote. "This is particularly relevant as many apolitical businesses and institutions … have expressed public sympathy to Kirk and his cause.

The Sins of the Father...
Timothy Birdnow
Here's how the Left rolls:
Bolsonaro’s son charged in Brazil for lobbying US over coup tria
The Left, like the Mafia, would not be so inartful as to take aim only at a political rival but will surely have proper aim to go after those they love. That is the mark of a tyrant.
It's why the Left in this country sought to go after Trump's kids as well. They are nasty people to tangle with. Bolsonaro is learning that now.
The U.S. has no extradition treaty with Brazil anyway. We should send in special forces and extract Bolsonaro from the Bolshevik hands there. The prosecution was a farce to destroy the conservatives in Brazil once and for all and anyone who is paying attention knows it. Lawfare is their weapon of choice.
Failing that we can at least rescue his kid. It is the only decent thing to do; offeer him asylum in the U.S.

Another Leftist Terror Attack
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another Leftist terrorist attack on innocent Americans. The media yawns.
23 year old Hunter Nadeau went into a country club in Nashua, New Hampshire, and opened fire on guests attending a wedding there, kiling 59 year old Steven DeCesare and wounding several other guests. Nadeau was heard shouting "Free Palestine!".
A look at Nadeau's social media showed he was your garden variety leftist nutjob. He was dressed in black like a good Antifa brownshirt.
This isn't just some mentally ill kids having breakdowns; it's a coordinated revolutionary act of terrorism. They are trying to bring the Entifada to America.
Hopefully this punk will be charged with terrorism and they should seek the death penalty. State murrder charges are not enough.
Trump was right to designate Antifa a terrorist organization. And that is, no doubt, whey they are declaring open season on innocent people. Terrorists always do that - strike at soft targets because they are cowards and unwilling to risk going after the big ones.
Recent polling [link=https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrirhU5BtRo7AEAA4FXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1759935290/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fthehill.com%2fnational-security%2f5504569-americans-political-violence-poll%2f/RK=2/RS=3fO8FqCrkFFvsrfsLrhzLXjbtEU-shows about a quareter of Democrats believe political violence is justified on occasion, far more than Republicans who are at something like 7%. And that is all Democrats; the radicals are convinced they have a duty to murder "fascists" as they mistakenly call them. Young kids have been raised to believe in this crap, and further brainwashed by their teachers and professors.
This is how communist revolutions happen.
(I would provide a link as there were several credible sources for this but Yahoo wouldn't let me open any and kept it in a yahoo sublink, so they are probably censoring this information, by the way. Google has stopped working for me, I might add.)
The Southern Poverty Law Center is always saying there is "right wing terrorism" everywhere yet we see almost none of it. They hide the fact that the Left are the terrorists and they are growing increasingly bloody. But then I knew that would happen when other avenues to defeat Trump failed.
I am pretty sure these leftists are organized, too. Getting money from George Soros and other leftists to do this.
Anyway, if you don't get around to reading this story just wait a bit and another senseless murder will happen. This is revolution and civil war, not crime. These kids see themselves as soldiers and are willing to die for the cause (because they never accepted Jesus and were thus willing to LIVe for HIM.) Jokes on them; they are dying for the rich and powerful and for an evil cause that will only hurt everyone. The fools believes himself to be wise.

Trump's Economic Success
Timothy Birdnow
I don't credit Trump with all of this; what has to be remembered is that Americans had just gone through four years of Covid lockdowns and a stunningly bad economy under Mr. Biden and are just plain tired of frugal living and worrying about the future.
As Rush Limbaugh used to say "if there is a recession I choose not to participate." (Or something to that effect anyway.)
Americans Keep Spending as Economy Defies Expectations
Still, much of the credit belongs to Mr. Trump. He has taken the foot off the American economic throat and at the same time has brought several trillion dollars in investment back into the country. He's opening jobs by kicking out illegal aliens who stole them. He's making foreign countries pay taxes when they had enjoyed a free ride in bygone days. There are a number of other things Mr. Trump has accomplished as well that helps to make Americans more confident in the future economic well-being of the country.
And he has restored pride in America, pride in being an American. A proud people are a happy people, and happy people have faith in their future. He has ended the navel-gazing and gnashing of teeth endemic during the tenure of office of Joe Biden. OF COURSE people are spending money! The future looks bright!
Recessions are psychological things. People lose confidence in the near future and begin pulling in, backing up, protecting themselves. When money stops investing in growth and starts to shelter you wind up with layoffs and eventually a recession. There is real money loss, certainly, but ultimately it comes from the expectations and fears of the public. Mr. Trump is calming those fears and promising a better tomorrow, a tomorrow that returns to the glories and security of the good old days before the Left wrent the nation's social and economic fabric asunder.
The Trump era is not an era of tears and fears and smears; it is an era of joy and hope and optimism. It's the same reason why Bill Clinton enjoyed such economic success. (Clinton simply had the good sense to ride the coattails of Reagan but he did allow the economy to hum along.) The small recession of '92 had actually already ended when Clinton took office. That recession was largely inevitable and it was very minor, but it cost Bush, who was reverting to Establishment form, to lose his job.
Anyway we shouldn't be surprised that the economy is flourishing; the economists never get anything right anyway.

Telling it Like it is
Timothy Birdnow
Comments from Trump:
Comments from Trump:
"Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like the world has never seen... and because they choose to be politically correct, they are doing nothing about it."
"I ended SEVEN wars ... I never even received a phone call from the UN offering to help...”
"These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you…
(When Trump tried to ride the escalator there it didn't work, and when he tried to use the teleprompter it promptly failed.)
"I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

The Evidence is Coming Out
Timothy Birdnow
The Gateway Pundit celebrates an FOIA request that has finally been honored to get information on the 2020 election in Michigan which the Democrats have successfully stonewalled for these four plus years now.
I strongly suspect this will blow the lid off of the vote fraud that we witnessed in the crucial election of '20. I am absolutely convinced it was a stolen election, a quiet coup to take out Donald J. Trump. It would have worked, too, had Trump not had the incredible gall to stay in the race after the lawfare waged against him and his family and won. The coup was an almost perfect plan that has failed in spite of all odds.
Now we need to turn the tables on these plotters and take them down. We may just have the means to do it now. At least we probably can set the record straight for history.

Monkeying Around with Primate Evolution
Timothy Birdnow
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!
New Study Shatters Long-Standing Myths About Primate Origins
This study claims primates evolved in cold deserts, not in jungles.
I don't buy it; monkeys are natural climbers, and they fare very well in extremely dense woodland where they can climb up into trees. That shouts jungle evolution, not temerate forest or desert evolution.
Four hands instead of two are supremely adapted to tree habitation.
As the article points out the Teilhardina, a tiny little primate, required a large diet because it used so much energy. How does a fruit and nut gatherer provide enough food to be so active in a desert region?
Of course this article goes on to spout the party line about "climate change" and "habitat destruction" and all the other claims made by the pseudo-scientific left.
At any rate despite what this study found I suspect they are wrong and I further suspecct their methodology.
They claim primates evolved in North America, a place without ANY primates (you have to get to central America and the jungles there to find any). They also claim the climates where the fossils have been found were cold at that time. Maybe, and maybe not. The dating could be wrong.
But it's clear that primates evolved to live in forests and this study suggests otherwise. When in doubt go with the evidence, not the modeling.
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!
New Study Shatters Long-Standing Myths About Primate Origins
This study claims primates evolved in cold deserts, not in jungles.
I don't buy it; monkeys are natural climbers, and they fare very well in extremely dense woodland where they can climb up into trees. That shouts jungle evolution, not temerate forest or desert evolution.
Four hands instead of two are supremely adapted to tree habitation.
As the article points out the Teilhardina, a tiny little primate, required a large diet because it used so much energy. How does a fruit and nut gatherer provide enough food to be so active in a desert region?

Party's Over in California
Timothy Birdnow
So now that they've driven the oil refiners and companies out of their state Gov. Newsom and his ilk want to entice them back. Seems the public is about to rebel over high energy prices and the supposed savior of the world electric vehicles just suck.
Desperate Cali Dems Scramble to Recover Oil Production after Forcing Refineries Out
Anh oil company willing to do business with California is nuts. California Democrats will just turn on them when the politicals winds blow their way again.
Newsom and his ilk are still keeping cap-and-trade policies in place, as well as EV and other alternate transportation schemes in place and continuing with their lawsuits against oil and gas companies. But Newsom has allowed drilling in Kern county, something he and his friends bitterly opposed just a short time ago.
But that's about it. He signed a bill to force gas companies to maintain a stockpile so prices won't spike during a shortage, for instance, and of course he blames the gas companies for "price goughing".
Nothing he's doing will help with energy prices except perhaps in the immediate future.
Newsom claims the oil and gas company have "been lying to you for years and years" about how dangerous their product is. He demannds they pay for the fires that recently decimated the state, even though it was mismanagement by him and his fellow Democrats that caused that c atastrophe'.
The problem with beng a Progressive is that you can only run from the consequences of your own stupidity for so long. The music is ending and California now has to face the fact it isn't sitting in the chair. Party's over.

Kimmel; You Want a Coke and Fries with That?
timothy Birdnow
Nexstar is again joining Sinclair in refusing to run the Jimmy Kimmel show, meaning the sad clown's reach will be limited to streaming in markets serviced by the two major affiliates.
Kimmel, the humorless scold who insulted just about everyone by trying to call the Kirk assassin a MAGA man, has been on suspension for six days now for fake news and just being a general ass. Of course, the fact his show makes less than minimum wage didn't help Kimmel's prospects any.
Maby old Jim can preach his lies after asking if everyone wanted a coke and fries with that?

Michelson; Kick Omar Out!

Hmmm.

He's right; she should be. She never should have gotten into America in the first place.

Routh Trries to Stab Himself
Timothy Birdnow
The cowards way out.
Ryan Routh Attempts to Stab Himself in Court After He's Found Guilty of Attempting to Assassinate Trump
I think the clown really, truly believed he was going to get away with it.

Sinclair Surrenders to Terrorists
Timothy Birdnow
Meanwhile....
Sinclair canceled airing tribute to Charlie Kirk after ABC stations got violent threats: report…
So ABC caved and brought Jimmy Kimmel back and Sinclair canceled a tribute to Charlie Kirk. That is the exact intent of terrorism in the first place; to cow people into silence and bending them to the will of the terrorist. Sinclair should have gone ahead with it anyway and just increased security. But you can't really blame them.
It is American policy not to negotiate with terrorists - nor change our ways based on their threats. Too bad ABC and Sinclair didn't follow suit. Now everyone knows they can be intimidated.

The Religion of Peace
Timothy Birdnow
This is how Islam has always spread.
ITALY: Milan right now looks like a literal war zone.
A coalition of far-left activists and Muslim migrant gangs is currently rioting and destroying the city because Italy refuses to recognize a Palestinian state.
Total chaos.

Anglo Nations Recognize Palestine
Timothy Birdnow
Tariffs anyone?
Britain, Australia, Canada and Portugal Recognize a Palestinian State
These are our erstwhile allies and they have betrayed us - and wrecked our foreign policy. oh, and they need us. They have to be punished.
Who, pray tell, are they recognizing? There is no Palestinian state. There is a terrorist entity in control of the territory we call Palestine, which is the West Bank and Gaza strip, but there is no actual government. So now we legitimize terrorists?
Do note that of these countries only Portugal is outside of the British sphere of influence. Britain has become a part of the Caliphate.
From the NY Times article:
First, estimates of Palestinian deaths are grossly inflated and come from the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They are lies and yet the New York Times dutifully reports them as Gospel.
Second, notice how Starmer McDaniels here clings to the "two state solution" as an article of faith. People have been trying to get that "solution" in place since the creation of Israel and Trans-Jordan in the middle of the last century with no luck. That is because the Palestinians don't want a two state solution - they want one state, Palestine "from the river to the sea". They want it all, and Israelis have to die for this article of faith.
If anyone wants peace in the region as Stormer claims they would support an Israeli victory. Israel won't wipe out the Palestinians; the Palestinians WILL wipe out Israel. Peace can only come to the region through victory. Until then there will be war, and the Anglo nations and Portugal just extended that warfare.
Israel has offered independence to Palestine on numerous occasions and always been turned down. But that's not what they want; they want the whole enchilada. Statehood would mean they have to pay their own way and the grift will end, the money pouring into Palestine from soft-headed Western liberals. And israel, which gives them free electricity and natural gas and just about everything else, would be off the hook for carrying these freeloadering murderers.
So this parliament of dunces make this move despite the fact Hamas is STILL holding hostages, hostages kidnapped in one of the most vile and despicable attacks on innocent people the world has ever seen. But that doesn't seem to matter to Starmer or Mark Carney of Canada or the rest. They want to virtue signal and screw Trump in the process.
Mr. Trump should put all sorts of pressure on these countries, with the use of tariffs and any other weapon at his disposal. If they want to push us we should push right back.
We never would have had this problem in the Middle East had the great powers stayed out of it in the first place; Israel would have wiped out the terrorists and then given Palestine it's own state. But the West is forever meddling, and propping up the terror state and that is the reason why there is endless warfare in the region. Palestine doesn't feel defeated. One must first win any war to make peace; there are few examples of negotiated peace deals without victory for one side.
All this does is crerate a gun platform to attack Israel in future. Starmer and Carney and company have blood on their hands.

From the NY Times article:
But so far, moves to recognize a Palestinian state have not curbed Israel’s military campaign against Hamas in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of people and left much of the enclave in ruins.
Nor are they likely to alter the situation on the ground. While recognition is a symbolic act of support for Palestinian self-determination, the prospect of a viable Palestinian state — on territory now occupied or blockaded by the Israeli military — is in many ways more elusive than it has been in decades.
"The hope for a two-state solution is fading, but we cannot let that light go out,” Britain’s prime minister, Keir Starmer, said in a video statement. "Today, to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution, I state clearly as prime minister of this great country that the United Kingdom formally recognizes the State of Palestine.

Sinclair Won't Air Kimmel
Timothy Birdnow
ABC just shot itself in the foot.
38 Sinclair stations won’t air Jimmy Kimmel.
Good for Sinclair! This will mean ABC is simply surrendering this timeslot and their ratings will nosedive.
How long before they see the Budlite?
