Feminists and Media Scolds Continue Melting Down Over Sydney Sweeney

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Oh no! The Karens are angry again.

It must be a day that ends in "day."

Thousands of Instagram users have smashed the "unfollow" button on Sydney Sweeney's profile after the actress was featured in and promoted a controversial sports-betting app in which she appears nude with sports equipment obscuring parts of her anatomy.

Last Wednesday, Sweeney shared the ad promoting sports-prediction market app Novig on Instagram -- where it has racked up 1.1 million likes so far. In the 60-second ad, the "Euphoria" star appears fully or partially nude, posing with a variety of sports equipment like footballs, basketballs, a soccer ball and a hockey net.

Since hitting the internet, the ad has triggered a negative reaction among those objecting to its sexualization of women in sports. Several women Olympic athletes have weighed in on the Sweeney ad, including Ariarne Titmus, a four-time Olympic gold medal swimmer from Australia, who wrote in a post: "I can't describe how infuriated I feel when I watch this. ... How do we live in a world where monetising a woman's body and sexualising women's sport is still a thing?"

In the three days after the ad dropped, Sweeney's Instagram followers ticked up by 50,000. But on Sunday, she lost 136,848 -- and on Monday, another 68,000 have unfollowed her, according to data from social-media analytics firm Social Blade. That said, the more than 200,000 IG followers Sweeney lost in that time frame is a drop in the bucket, representing less than 1% of her more than 25 million followers.

Amid the backlash, Sweeney on Sunday posted a series of photos and videos from the Novig ad on Instagram, with the caption, "it's gamedayyy @novig 
#novigpartner." Sweeney also appeared to respond to the negative commentary by posting a series of covers from the ESPN Body Issue, which features multiple naked athletes, on Instagram Stories.

A new advertisement featuring a mostly nude Sydney Sweeney posing with various pieces of sporting equipment sparks outrage with female athletes, who say it markets sports through the sexualization of women and the "male gaze."

So yes, let's look at the covers from the Sports Illustrated "Body Issues," which have always been celebrated by left-wing feminist AWFULs as "empowering" to female athletes.

Comer to DHS: Release the Evidence of Ilhan Omar's Immigration Fraud So That We Can Decide Whether to Expel Her from Congress

—Disinformation Expert Ace

That could be good.

But I don't think it will happen, not yet anyway.

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee is vowing to pursue a contempt vote against financier Leon Black for refusing testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein probe and calling on the Trump administration to release any evidence showing whether Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar broke immigration laws and should be expelled from Congress.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., made the comments Monday night after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and White House border czar Tom Homan indicated such evidence involving Omar exists and is under investigation.

"I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public," Comer said during an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. "The evidence that I've seen would show that they would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have is public already, anyway. So I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this.

"Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that."

Mullin revealed Thursday there is evidence that Omar, D-Minn., "married her brother" as part of an alleged immigration scheme and there is an "ongoing" investigation.

"We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States," Mullin told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, adding that Omar's ex-husband lives in London.

Mullin explained that lying about certain things on an immigration application can result in deportation, and there's no expiration for that.

The investigation may turn up "illegal activity," which could result in Omar being deported, Mullin suggested. He cautioned that the case is still being investigated and insisted it's not politically motivated.

I don't think DHS will comply until it has made a decision itself whether to denaturalize her or not. I think that's usually their rule, that they will not release information while an investigation is active. You'd have to subpoena them and get a judge to agree that Congress's need for information outweighs the Executive's need for confidentiality during investigations.

Gavin Newsom Lies to Placate the Black Vote, Claiming He Won't Run if Kamala Harris Does

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Well, Kamala Harris is running at the moment. I can't say she'll stay in all the way but as of now, she's running.

Gavin Newsom is also running.

So he's lying.

I see a lot of non-stunned faces in the comments.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CNN he will not run for president in 2028 if former Vice President Kamala Harris enters the race.

Newsom made the comment during a fly-fishing outing in Montana with CNN's Jake Tapper, as part of an ongoing series that was announced on Monday in which the anchor joins politicians in their favorite places to discuss their careers. Tapper pressed Newsom on the crowded Democrat field, noting he was not even the only potential candidate from California before naming Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Harris.

"I don't know if she runs, but we'll see," Newsom said. When Tapper noted Harris had "called around," the governor added, "But I wouldn't run if she ran."

Tapper asked him to confirm the line.

"Of course not. Why would I? I wouldn't do that to her," Newsom said. "I wouldn't waste everyone's time. Who needs that?"

Newsom argued a primary between the two Californians would only benefit the rest of the field, describing the scenario as "mutually assured destruction."

"Electorally, it's a gift from God for everybody else," he said. "It services no greater good."

Kamala Harris has the biggest share of the black vote in polls, ranging between 34% and 49%. Newsom has only 14%.

He has another problem: Black Democrats are serious about DEI, by which I mean, they demand that jobs go to them, and that includes nominee slots. James Clyburn infamously insisted that Biden choose a black female for Vice President. He did. Black Democrats insisted Biden appoint a black female non-biologist to the Supreme Court. He did.

And we're seeing black Democrats in Texas reject the gay white kid James Talarico for "stealing" the nomination that belongs (due to DEI assumptions) Jasmine Ratchet.

Gavin Newsom can't win a majority of the black vote against the DEI-privileged candidate Kamala Harris. He doesn't need to. But, if he defeats Kamala Harris, to whom the 2028 nomination "belongs" to by DEI illogic, he will have to bring bitter DEI-zealot black Democrats on board for the general.

So he's making this empty promise now that he will step aside and give Kamala Harris the nomination that "belongs" to her if she wants it.

But what will he do when she runs? That is a problem, I'm sure he's thinking, for Future Gavin Newsom, which Future Gavin Newsom will just have to deal with when it comes up.

For now, he's letting black Democrats know he will not "steal" a nomination from the Stronk Empowered Black (and Indian) Woman it "belongs" too. So if she decides not to run because she finally gets a DUI arrest, he's positioned himself right for James Clyburn.

Note that Jake Tapper is now deliberately "humanizing" inhuman Democrat politicians by interviewing them in contrived campaign-commercial scenarios. I'm including a very smart rebuttal to my point:

Supreme Court Refuses to Allow Trump to Procede with Post Office Scanning of Mail-In Ballots, Claiming (Say It With Me) It's Now Too Late to Implement This Rule and It Would "Cause Chaos"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

They did exactly what I said they'd do -- Democrats launched lawsuits to delay things and then the courts slow-played it so they could just say, "Whoops, there wouldn't be enough time to implement these changes now that we've dicked around for weeks and weeks, you lose."

This is intolerable.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Trump administration's emergency bid to enforce new U.S. Postal Service (USPS) restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, leaving a lower court's nationwide block in place.

In a brief order, the court said the government was "unlikely to succeed on the merits" for purposes of obtaining emergency relief and had not shown that the legal and practical considerations warranted a stay.

The rules would require federal ballot mail to be sent in envelopes bearing an election-mail logo, capable of being scanned by high-speed equipment and carrying a barcode unique to each voter.

State and local election officials would also be required to submit envelope designs to the Postal Service for review and upload basic voter information to an online USPS portal.

Under the USPS rule, mailings that failed to comply would not be accepted and would instead be returned to election officials to correct and resubmit.

A federal judge previously blocked the USPS from implementing the rules, including the online portal that could be used to track millions of mail ballots.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed with the Supreme Court's decision but indicated the USPS may ultimately have the authority to impose the requirements.

"In my view, based on the briefing the Court has received at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority," Kavanaugh wrote.

However, he said attempting to apply the rules during the 2026 elections would be "arbitrary and capricious" under the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election officials do not have enough time to reasonably implement them.

Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the decision, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.

Alito argued that some of the plaintiffs lacked legal standing and that the remaining challengers were pursuing what the court has previously called a "Hail Mary pass" that "rarely succeeds."

"The Government has made the showings necessary for a stay, so I respectfully dissent," Alito wrote.

Alito said the USPS has broad authority to regulate the collection, handling, transportation and delivery of mail. He also argued that the government would suffer irreparable harm because any reversal of the lower court's injunction would come too late for the midterms.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office helped lead the legal challenge, celebrated the decision as a victory for voters.

"Today, the Supreme Court protected one of our most fundamental, inalienable rights -- the right to make your voice heard at the ballot box," James said. "This last-minute change could have thrown our elections into chaos, and I am truly relieved the Court granted this reprieve."

See, we delayed and delayed until we could claim that implementing the order would come too late and cause "chaos" so we win, you lose.

Oh good! Another plan to pass voter ID laws! This time it's going to work! Really...promise! Just send $25 to the RNC to keep the Republican Party fighting against the Democrats!

The problem is glaringly obvious, and one that the corporate wing of the GOP is unwilling to admit...because it is part of the problem.

The fight isn't against the Democrats. The fight is against the anti-Trump, pro-business faction within the Republican party that is perfectly content to continue on the current road to ruin by allowing farcically corrupt elections in America. As long as our elections keep electing pro-illegal-immigrant Democrats (and Republicans) the Chamber of Commerce money will continue to flow, the Bourbon and lobster will continue at the best cocktail parties, and America will keep sliding into third-world hell. But that's fine with them, because all of that sweet cheap illegal labor will be available to their big donors!

Inside House Republicans' plan to end run Dem opposition and pass Trump-backed voter ID

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is now pushing Republicans to pass the bill's main mandates via the budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to pass sweeping fiscal policy without input from the minority due to its sidelining of the Senate filibuster. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chairman of the Committee on House Administration, is tasked with overseeing how that part of the bill gets done.

"I'd rather pass the SAVE America Act. But recognizing that the Senate might not be able to get that done with the 60-vote threshold, let's leverage the parliamentary procedure, bring that threshold down to 50, and get some really commonsense reforms done," Steil told Fox News Digital in an interview. "I've been having great conversations with my colleagues in the administration as well as the Senate."

Thune and the other corporatist whores are the problem, and they are embedded into the Republican Party far too deeply for them to be sidelined by a procedural play. That they are rejecting a bill that has the support of the vast majority of Americans is shocking in and of itself, but the fact that they are unrepentant makes it worse. They are pissing on us and gleefully telling us that it is raining!

What can be done about this? Obviously Thune and anyone who supports him must go. At the very least, he must be challenged for Majority Leader. Senator Rick Scott has already announced that he has not committed to voting for Thune again, so there are cracks in the collegiality of the Senate. And that's a good start, but an aggressive campaign against Thune is overdue. Perhaps President Trump should announce that if Thune doesn't support voting security that he will actively campaign against him in 2028. Marginalize him, mock him, ridicule him for subverting the will of the American people...but do not allow the status quo to continue. This is too important to be held up by a corporate hack in a nice suit, and that's all Thune is!

The Morning Report — 9/ 15 /26

—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. Over the years we've all talked about how we as individuals might fight back against political/judicial persecution, and the frontline many spoke of was the concept of Jury nulification. And so, the enemies in our midst have naturally done just that with this Clancy trial. A twisted evil woman slaughters her three children with her own hands and we get a mistrial?! Well, surprise surprise!

A juror who served on the closely watched Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial has admitted that she came into the trial with a political agenda, namely to set a precedent that could, in her view, help future mothers.

Given who and what the Democrat/Left are I take that to mean help future mothers butcher their children who somehow survived being slaughtered in utero by a Kermit Gosnell with a rusty scissors. That said, it's been rather amusing to watch them twist themselves into knots desperately trying to fight toxic masculinity, while trying not to be evil white supremacists . . .

He was the only juror to understand that murder is criminal, even as another male juror, a soyboy named Nick Dargie, 25, who sided with the women, told Good Morning America, “That toward the end of deliberations, the holdout juror would not engage in discussions with others or provide evidence that supported his reasoning, instead choosing to scroll on his phone.”

Dargie and the other man on the jury who voted with the women, were undoubtedly male feminists. Massachusetts, after all, is an over-the-top woke Democrat state. So woke, in fact, it’s astounding why the prosecution allowed nine women to be on the jury. Those lawyers have obviously not been paying attention to how liberal women have changed the culture.

Because the outcome by all the powers that be was that Clancy is the real victim and so must be exonerated!

Even after everything we have witnessed since the coming of President Trump and really for years before that, only serves to reinforce just how low we have sunk as a nation and as a society. While not as dramatic nor as bloody as 9/11 was, this spectacle and what it portends is in its way equally as catastrophic,unlees and until this beast is retried and found guilty. As it stands that may not be likely certainly not a guilty verdict. And therefore my conclusion about where we are as a society.

Screwed,mightily unless something drastic changes and puts us back on the rails.

For now, have a good day.

That's a Hinckley Sou'Wester 51 looking particularly fetching. Sadly, the company no longer builds sailboats, which is a sad state of affairs, but their motor boats are rather nice looking, so I guess that is okay.

When I was a wee lad I sailed on Long Island Sound, and there were several Hinckleys in my neck of the woods; it was always a treat to see one of them on the water. They were classic, with beautiful lines and always built with good, but not cutting-edge tech. So they never looked like spaceships or race cars...just timeless and elegant.

And boy oh boy...I wanted one!

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned her upcoming adventure to the hairdresser, who responded:

"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?”

"We're flying United Airlines,” was the reply. "We got a great rate!”

“United?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?”

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Taste.”

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump.”

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope.”

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. ”You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it.”
. . .
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "Not only were we on time in one of United’s brand new 787s, but it was overbooked, so they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and we had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on us hand and foot . . .”

“And the Taste hotel was great! They'd just finished a €5 million remodeling, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!”

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "That's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope.”

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if we'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet us.”

“Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me . . .”

"Oh, really! What'd he say?”

He said: "Who fucked up your hair?

I am always disappointed when I see this sort of thing. This mass psychosis that events do not exist unless recorded on one's phone is getting worse and worse.

It is also a function of the social media lunacy that consumes many of us...that insane desire to post a video and get that invaluable endorphin blast when your tweet or reel or TikTok video is picked up by the internet mob.

States are suing the Trump administration to allow people who can't sustain themselves to be able to get green cards and one of the (very bad) arguments is that reducing participation in food stamps is bad for local businesses. Make any of this make sense.

By the way, he had a little giggle-party with Alexandria Donkey-Chompers while they were reading the names of the dead during the 9/11 memorial he desecrated.

Chuck Ross reports that Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has promoted numerous race hoaxes to gin up hatred against the white Christian majority.

I know this stuns you to hear.

Abdul El-Sayed Promoted Infamous Hijab Hate Crime Hoax, Despite Warnings from Police The Democrat has a long history of making unverified and false claims alleging anti-Muslim discrimination

Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed falsely claimed in a 2012 essay that an Iraqi refugee in California was brutally murdered in an anti-Muslim attack because she had the "courage to wear a Hijab." In truth, Shaima Alawadi's husband killed her in an act of domestic violence that he staged to look like a hate crime.

El-Sayed, in an article on March 28, 2012, equated Alawadi's killing with the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a black Florida teenager, as examples of the "racism, xenophobia, and hate" in American society against minorities.

"Trayvon and Shaima were both murdered in cold blood," asserted El-Sayed, because they fit "archetypes indicted by American society as foreign, dangerous, and evil."

Alawadi, a 32-year-old mother of five, died on March 21, 2012, after she was bludgeoned with a tire iron at her home in El Cajon, Calif. Police found a note at the scene of the crime that stated: "Go back to your country, you terrorist."

Though police cautioned early on against jumping to conclusions about the motive--specifically saying they were not at the point of calling the death a hate crime--El-Sayed and other left-wing pundits latched onto the theory that Alawadi was the victim of a hate crime.

According to El-Sayed's article in Mic, a liberal digital publication targeted at younger readers, Alawadi's killer targeted her because she had "the courage to wear a Hijab in a society where Muslims are openly vilified for the crimes of others."

But it's El-Sayed who vilified the wrong party for the crimes of another.

Alawadi's husband, Kassim Alhimidi, was arrested for his wife's murder after police uncovered incriminating text messages and evidence that Alawadi planned to divorce her husband and flee to Texas. Alhimidi, an Iraqi refugee who trained U.S. soldiers to fight in the Middle East, was convicted of murdering his wife in April 2014 and sentenced to 26 years in prison.

There is no record that El-Sayed has ever corrected his false claims about the murder.

The former CNN analyst has a history of making unverified or false claims about anti-Muslim discrimination.

El-Sayed published a CNN essay on Sept. 11, 2012, that claimed the health of Muslims and Arabs was "another victim of 9/11." In the piece, El-Sayed cited a California study that purportedly found a 34 percent spike in premature births for Muslim women after 9/11, which El-Sayed attributed to the "discrimination and marginalization" Muslim women faced after the terrorist attacks. But El-Sayed curiously omitted his own study that found no such increase, the Washington Free Beacon reported. El-Sayed wrote in his study that his "findings contrast with the only other published study that has assessed the relationship between mass trauma and birth outcomes of a specific group." El-Sayed further found that Muslim and Arab women had lower rates of premature births than black or white women.

His shaky claims in the 2012 essay were notable in that the previous year he had completed a doctorate in public health and would go on to work as an epidemiologist.

El-Sayed has continued to use the Islamophobia trope on the campaign trail.

NBC Boston Doxxed the Juror by Providing Specific Details of His Arrest Allowing Anyone to Find His Name Through Court Records; Defense Lawyer's AWFUL Wife Goaded the Media Into "Getting" the Juror

—Disinformation Expert Ace

This article originally had the full details of the arrest of the Black Man Who Didn't Take Orders from Old White Women.

Andrew @ Don't Walk, RUN! @DontWalkRUN

15h

UPDATE: Sadly, I was right. The holdout juror was doxxed yesterday by several users on X. All because @NBC10Bosto showed a graphic with the following info:

* The juror's DOB
* The original charge (265/13M/B-0 A&B ON FAMILY / HOUSEHOLD MEMBER c265 s.13M(a))
* The date of the arrest
* The date of the arraignment
* The location of the court

In fact, I was easily able to do a search on http://masscourts.org
, enter the details, and put two and two together to figure out what his name is (which I will not be providing here.)

But the fact remains: there is no way that I -- or anyone else -- would have been able to track down his info without the details that NBC Boston provided.

I hope he gets a lawyer and sues the hell out of them.

Massachusetts like most other states makes it a felony to harass and injure -- including emotionally -- a juror:

But I'm sure that's one of the many, many laws "journalists" say they're allowed to break when they deem it lucrative and I'm sure left-leaning judges have agreed with them.

NBC Boston's main "journalist" on this story is about as clownishly partisan an AWFUL as can be. She didn't write that story -- some "guy" named Ryan did -- but she's been cheerleading Lindsay Clancy.

I thought this was an SNL skit at first but it turned out to just be more Sue O'Connell hackery.

Jan 2024. O'Connell makes the "objective" case that Biden is the superior choice when it comes to health and mental sharpness over Trump.

"Everybody needs to take an objective sort of look at this."

"When it comes to physical fitness, I think Joe Biden is a very healthy old man. There's no doubt about that."

"Some of the mistakes that Joe Biden makes, he's been making for 80 years. Right. We've been listening to Joe Biden misspeak and confuse things for 80 years."

"[Biden] has a very successful presidency."

"Now, Donald Trump is not the picture of health. He does not look great. The things that he's confusing, it's not like he's misspeaking."

She then compares Trump to Kamala and her word salads.

Maddow-tier hackery here from the "journalist" chosen to be the face of Clancy coverage by NBC Boston.

"That anger could be harnessed, and it could actually fuel efforts again for maybe something like Medicare For All, like Senator Bernie Sanders has advocated for."

Now, I suspected the leak might have come from the defense attorney the AWFULs found so charming and heroic, Kevin Reddington.

The fact that his AWFUL wife was cheering on the media to locate the "rogue" juror makes me suspect him further.

Kevin Reddington’s wife Deb Reddington has eagerly posted the news report of @NBC10Boston and @SueOC_NBCBoston attempt to dox the holdout juror.

Take notice of who is reposting and pushing this “news”.

Is the defense in cahoots with NBC and their commentator Sue O’Connell?… pic.twitter.com/wLFwmw57Nc

I’M SORRY, BUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!

The wife of Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer is publicly going on social media and saying this kind of crap.

SHE’S THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY’S WIFE.

The judge should have put a GAG ORDER on every single person connected to this trial,… pic.twitter.com/fsuAkrd0vw

Remember, the baby-murder-promoting lawyer has a motion in for the judge to disregard the mistrial and call Lindsay Clancy innocent by his own power. This very coordinated hit-piece on the Black Who Said "No" to White Woman seems to be part of a PR campaign to convince the judge to just pretend the Black Man Has No Voice At All.

Gee, I hope no angry people "visit the homes" of the Reddingtons or the Alpha Karens like they encouraged people to "visit the home" of the "rogue" juror. Because that would be bad!

Republican Wisconsin Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Tiffany Survives After Plane Loses Engine Power and Crash-Lands in River; Media Minimizes Event

While returning home from the La Crosse County Lincoln Day Dinner tonight, the plane I was traveling in lost power as we approached the Wausau Downtown Airport. The pilot made an emergency water landing in Lake Wausau.

After landing, we called 911. As the plane began to submerge, we exited the aircraft and swam to a shallow area, where we waited until emergency responders reached us by boat.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the pilot, the Wausau Fire Department, and all of the first responders who came to our aid so quickly. They got us safely off the water and transported us to Aspirus Wausau Hospital, where we received excellent care. Thankfully, both the pilot and I sustained only minor injuries.

God was watching over us tonight, and I am incredibly grateful to be here in the hospital with my wife, Chris, by my side. An experience like this reminds you just how precious life is.

Shock: Danish Crime Statistics Show that Immigrants, Particularly Muslim Immigrants, Commit Crime at Double the Rates of the Native-Born and the Children of Immigrants Are Even Worse

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Denmark is one of the only western countries to track immigrant crime because the rest have been pressured to keep the public deliberately blind to the actual numbers by activists.

Because Racism.

David Strom:

For years now, Danish crime statistics tell us what we already can intuit from the data we do have: migrants from Muslim countries commit crimes at a vastly higher rate than native-born Europeans, and the statistics indicate that the rates aren't even close. They are especially represented in the sexual crime statistics, but in just about every category, the differences are remarkable.

But what most people who support mass migration might be surprised to learn is this: their male descendants are even more likely to commit crimes and are often more likely to be Islamist extremists than their parents. Again, the statistics show the differences aren't even close.

From the actual report:

Statistics Denmark extract for the Ministry of Immigration and Integration, age-adjusted Criminal Code index, native Danish men = 100.

MENAPT immigrant men (Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Turkey): 238 in 2016 → 214 in 2025. Still more than double the native baseline, but down.

Their Danish-born sons (descendants): 306 in 2024 → 326 in 2025. Record for that group; more than 3x native Danish men.

Ministry barometer summary of the same 2025 data: MENAPT immigrant men ~2x
2025 convictions: ~159,000 people (~120,000 men). ~28,000 immigrants and 12,000+ descendants among those convicted.

Social Democrat Immigration Minister Morten Bødskov told Berlingske this is one of the largest immigration-policy problems: values, social inheritance, and a "rejection of Denmark" -- not social conditions alone, including fathers who look the other way.

More at the link, including a graph showing the absolutely intolerable levels of "MENAPT" crime (Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Turkey). Although the chart Strom shows has the legend at the bottom cut-off, the sky-high crime rates are in fact for the "Migrant, MENAPT" demographic. You can see that from the tops of the letters.

The "Rogue Juror" Has Been Doxxed and "Visited" At His Home by Angry Lindsay Clancy Baby-Killer Cultists

This was always the plan:

F Post @AFpost

Sep 13

The lone Black male juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial, who refused to acquit Clancy despite pressure from the media and the 11 other jurors, has been doxxed, had his home visited by hostile Clancy supporters, had his family contacted, and had past allegations against him dug up.

Follow: @AFpost

Alpha Karen One admitted that the jury vote was a political act, not an evaluation of the actual evidence, stating that she intends for Lindsay Clancy's acquittal to improve the lives of other women, and of course women who murder their children:

"We knew that this was a turning point, and this would be something that could change something to make it better for other women..."

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullins: We Know Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother to Defraud the Immigration System. We're Investigating Her Now.

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Happy Monday!

Some good news to start the week off.

Trump's top immigration official claims an internal investigation found that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar 'married her brother' and could be facing deportation.

'We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said of the Minnesota Democrat. 'We know he lives now in London.'

He was speaking about the second man Omar married, who the Daily Mail has previously reported is Ahmed Elmi. Both are originally from Somalia.

She allegedly was still married to her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, at the time of the second marriage, the congresswoman has told friends who relayed the account to the Daily Mail.

Omar has long denied the allegations. She has since remarried a third time and is wed to political consultant Tim Mynett.

Mullin told conservative pundit Benny Johnson that Omar's actions amounted to 'possible illegal activity' and the investigation is 'ongoing,' breaking a standard where officials typically do not discuss active investigations.

'We're investigating,' he said before threatening to deport her should the investigation warrant such a dramatic action.

'There's no expiration to that,' he said of the potential charges. 'If we can prove it that, maybe you shouldn't have been here in the first place, we'll deport you.'

Mullin appeared to be alluding to potential immigration documents being falsified, which would be a deportable offense. That plan could face difficulty given Omar became a naturalized US citizen in 2000, when she was 17.

...

Abdihakim Osman, a past friend of Omar, told the Mail in 2020 that Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi.

But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him.

'No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the marriage certificate years later,' Osman exclusively told Daily Mail at the time.

Omar married her first husband, Hirsi, in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony that, like many in the immigrant community, was not registered with the state.

The first report that Omar and her husband were siblings appeared on the website Somalispot in 2016.

It said of Elmi: 'As soon as Ilhan Omar married him he started university at her alma mater North Dakota State University where he graduated in 2012.'
...

'When we move forward,' Mullin said as if the case against Omar is imminent, 'it's not political.'

The Department of Homeland Security office did not deny Mullin's claims that Omar did indeed marry her brother.

Tom Homan confirms it, too:

Jacqui Heinrich
@JacquiHeinrich

Border Czar Tom Homan says Dem Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under criminal investigation by HSI for possible immigration/naturalization fraud. In his answer, he also implies that it could become a denaturalization case.

I asked Homan on @SundayBriefFNC about DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin asserting this week "We know that [Rep. Omar] married her brother to try to bring him to the United States" :

HOMAN: I'm not going to comment on an ongoing criminal investigation. I know things are going on. But I can't get specifics of what's happening. But we'll see. I mean, if someone committed immigration violation and someone committed marriage fraud or anything like that, regardless if they're a congresswoman or not, no one's above the law, so I'll leave it at that. We'll let, HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, continue the investigation.

HEINRICH: Okay. So you're confirming that there is an investigation into Congresswoman Omar.

HOMAN: I'm confirming that ICE is - yeah. Look, I said months ago, that is something that's been reported and it needs to be looked at.

...

HEINRICH: Okay... She is, though, a naturalized U.S. citizen.... I guess what I'm asking is, is there a naturalization case that is being brought against her?

HOMAN: Look, you know, I've been around 40 years and we've done de-nats cases. We have denaturalized citizens based on fraud, based on lying on their applications or lying through the process, misrepresenting themselves, or maybe misrepresenting organizations they belong to or beliefs they have. But denaturalization is a process. It's a very serious process. So if someone lies through that process to becoming a citizen, and we can prove they in fact lied or misrepresented themselves, we can absolutely denaturalize them. We've done it before many times over the last 40 years I've been around. So it's a process.

HEINRICH: And then just knowing how this is going to be received, you know what what would you say to the Democrat critics who are just going to make the argument that this is a politically motivated, pursuit?

HOMAN: There's nothing political about it. ICE is enforcing law that Congress wrote. I mean, these are all laws that are in statute.

THE MORNING RANT: In Defiance of the Climate Cult’s Apocalyptic Prophecies, there Have Been Zero Hurricanes in the Atlantic so far this Year

—Buck Throckmorton

We are now past the peak of hurricane season, and this has been a very quiet year in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of America. In fact, we are in unchartered territory due to the complete and total absence of any hurricanes this year in the Atlantic basin. There has never been a year in recorded history without a hurricane this far into September. To be clear, this is not a discussion of hurricane landfalls, this is about the complete and total absence of hurricane formation.

There are no hurricanes on the horizon, either. There have not even been any tropical storms with sustained winds exceeding 60 mph. (74 mph is the threshold for hurricane classification.)

According to the childishly simple logic of the Church of Climate, because more hurricanes are proof of global warning, then an absence of hurricanes is proof of “global cooling.” It would be preposterous, of course, to use this year’s hurricane season as proof of global cooling, but it is just as preposterous to make the counterclaim in years that are tropically active.

“The Atlantic Reaches a Milestone for the Latest Date Without a Hurricane; And according to the National Hurricane Center, no hurricanes are on the horizon.” [Washington Post – 9/11/2026]

Hurricane season will reach its approximate peak on Friday — but this year, not a single hurricane has yet formed in the Atlantic Ocean, setting a new record for a lack of storms. This is the latest into the Atlantic season without a hurricane forming since weather satellites were first launched in the 1960s.

Climate cultists and their propaganda arm in the legacy media have been prophesying “stronger and more frequent” hurricanes for decades now. This is part of their “global warming” scare campaign, for which their solution is banning carbon fuels and imposing command and control over all economic activity. In other words, only communism will please their angry climate God.

An important facet of the climate hoax has been to report any “above normal” weather of any sort as proof of climate change. This is an example of statistical and numerical ignorance, of course, because “normal” is being used as a synonym for median or average, but by definition 50% of all inputs are necessarily above the median.

Back in 2020 and 2021, there was above average tropical storm development in the Atlantic. The scientifically ignorant media, relying on the scientifically dishonest “climate experts,” matter-of-factly reported that increase in tropical activity as being due to a warming planet: “How Tropical Storms and Hurricanes Have Hit U.S. Shores with unparalleled Frequency; A record 18 storms and hurricanes have made landfall in the past two years”

Unrelenting and unprecedented, back-to-back Atlantic hurricane seasons have punished the Gulf and East coasts of the United States. An unsurpassed 49 named storms have formed over the warming Atlantic waters since the start of the 2020 season, with a record-setting 18 striking the Lower 48 states, including seven hurricanes.

Scientists say this record-setting stretch of storminess is connected to a period of heightened hurricane activity that began in 2017 but may become increasingly common as the planet warms.

A warming planet had nothing to do with the record number of storms in 2020 and 2021. There were two main reasons:

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a pleasant, relaxing weekend as we paused to reflect and remember the horrific attack on America 25 years ago last Friday. In many ways we are still dealing with both the root cause and the political/cultural reverberations of 9/11, as we'll delve into in a moment.

But for now I and my fellow sane residents of my state of Wisconsin are breathing a sigh of relief.

“God was watching over us tonight.” That’s how Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial nominee Tom Tiffany described surviving a plane crash Saturday night that ended with him swimming out of a sinking aircraft in Lake Wausau. . . An experience like this reminds you just how precious life is.”

Of course, Madison being one of the evil wellsprings from whence the toxic poison of progressivism emerged and continues to rot away at Wisconsin but the entire nation, as it was an epicenter of the 2020 election theft. Hoping and praying that this incident was perhaps a harbinger of good things and miracles come November for my home state and for the nation as a whole.

And all things considered, we as a nation and society are going to need a run of miracles if we are to survive.

Yeah, elections sure do have consequences. Given the moribund state of the Republican Party in New York City, two socialists, Darializa Avila-Chevalier and Claire Valdez, are virtually certain to enter the House of Representatives next January, and they’re already excitedly making plans for the damage they’re going to do to the nation’s largest city, and the nation as a whole, once they get there... Now, why would a couple of socialists, one of whom (Avila-Chevalier) is a convert to Islam, want to deny the city that sustained the largest jihad terror attack in the history of this country funding to protect itself from further such attacks? Avila-Chevalier has so much contempt for the United States that on Dec. 23, 2019, she wrote: “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.” She followed this message with a happy-face emoji.

Well, I'm no longer a resident of New York City and State so that's a minor miracle, at least for now given the Democrats' virtual stranglehold on the Badger State. Then again, sooner or later there may be no place left for any of us to run and hide.

Shelly Headen is running for North Carolina House of Representatives District 62. She believes that Trump supporters belong in Dachau’s crematoria, like Jews during WWII. She posed in front of a backdrop of the actual ovens. Shelly was smiling. She has made similar comments that advocate for attacks on U.S. soil and violence against political opponents. She loves her violence. There is a 2024 Guilford County Sheriff’s Office incident report identifying Headen as a suspect in domestic physical assaults. One alleged assault was against her husband. Now she’s apologizing for her social media posts but also says she doesn’t recall making them. It’s a case of I didn’t do it, but I apologize for it. With some of her posts now deleted, we don’t know the full scope of her malice.

Posing in front of Dachau and wishing your political opponents, who are viewed as an existential threat to life, the planet and "democracy" are shoved into the gas chambers. Considering what happened to poor Charlie Kirk, what nearly happened on at least three separate occasions to President Trump and what happened to America's cities in the summer of 2020 and to churches, synagogues, schools and individuals at the hands of anti-semites, transexuals and abortionists for years now, I take these fiends at their word. The dehumanizing verbiage against us makes it that much easier to hurl the molotov cocktails and bricks, pull the triggers and ultimately send us to the ovens as this evil subhuman slag from North Carolina, and far too many like her in and out of office desire.

On these and all the other horrendous news we have, I bid you all to have a good day.
