First of all, this congresswoman claims she's concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba. That's admirable. I am too and have been for a long time. But it's funny, this humanitarian crisis has been going on for years, and yet, unless I'm missing something, she's only found it in her heart to be concerned about it since Trump and Rubio began taking legitimate steps to put an end to it once and for all.
If you'll recall, Jayapal and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) traveled to Cuba last month on the taxpayers' dime to "assess the humanitarian situation." The reality is that they took a five-day vacation (or what they called a "congressional delegation") to Cuba to meet with the regime and find new ways to bash Donald Trump. They went in with an agenda and opinions already formed and walked away with those opinions intact and using the same language the regime does about how Trump is hurting them with his sanctions and blockades...
...why in the heck is a sitting member of the U.S. Congress going behind the president's back and colluding with foreign countries in a way that directly goes against the president's current actions and foreign policy? Trump and Rubio are working to pressure the regime so that the Cuban people are finally free. They've also made it incredibly clear that the island nation as it stands with the regime in charge is a threat to the national security of the United States.
“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Former Minnesota State Rep. Kaohly Her declared.
Her ran in the 2025 St. Paul mayoral election on a promise to fight ICE and protect illegal aliens. While she lost the election, the usual ‘ranked choice’ shenanigans that elevated Mamdani in New York City, and other urban leftists, put her ahead of Melvin Carter III who was not an illegal.
In her inaugural address, Mayor Kaohly Her described federal immigration enforcement as an “unprecedented incursion that we must meet head on.” She spoke while surrounded by minority female politicians as well as Robert ‘Susan Kimblery’ Sylvester: a former deputy mayor who now claims to be a transgender woman.
This secessionist rhetoric was soon paired with a secessionist ordinance commanding federal law enforcement not to operate on ‘city-owned property’ as if St. Paul had somehow seceded from the United States.
Why are either of these evil filthy skanks not awaiting removal from our nation?! Jayapal deserves to at a minimum be removed from office and prosecuted for her actions along with anyone who aided and abetted her. But grabbing this admitted criminal illegal alien Kaohly and shipping her the hell out of the country is, or should be a snap, for ICE and/or the DOJ?!
The outcome of the negotiations could mark a major step towards ending the Iran war and stabilizing global oil prices.

But they're claiming none of this violated the ceasefire, because they're trying to pretend to comport with the unconstitutional War Powers Act for some reason.
A U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Port in the Strait of Hormuz and Bandar Abbas were reported Thursday, with U.S. officials telling Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin that this was neither a restart of the war nor an end to the ceasefire.
The U.S. military also struck Iran's Bandar Kargan naval checkpoint in Minab, officials confirmed.
The development came as Iran's state-run IRNA news agency also reported air defense activity in western Tehran.
Two other loud explosions were heard Thursday night, while eyewitnesses told Iran International they heard multiple blasts in Chitgar.
Iran's state-run Mehr News Agency also reported attacks and exchanges of fire across Iran's southern Hormozgan province near Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island, according to reports.
Thursday's strike on Iran's major port came two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the UAE's Fujairah Port.
Those strikes sparked anger among Gulf countries, officials told Griffin, though Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine had said during a Pentagon briefing May 5 that those attacks did not amount to a violation of the ceasefire.
Hegseth and Caine described the attacks as low-level incidents that did not rise to that threshold.
U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.
If they're firing on US ships, the War Powers Act is out the window. The US President has nearly unlimited inherent authority to defend US ships and bases from attack.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Congressman Steve Cohen is reacting to the congressional map of Tennessee proposed by Republican state lawmakers on Wednesday.
U.S. Congressman Steve Cohen says it's devastating, and he believes it's a way to divide the Black vote in order to minimize its influence.
Protesters made their voices heard during a House committee hearing in Nashville over the proposed redistricting of District 9, which includes the city of Memphis.
"Memphis is Black, there's no denying that," protesters chanted.
Yeah but Cohen isn't. So the Maximize Minority Voting Power rule failed anyway.
"It devastates the work that has been done to rectify the injuries to African Americans because of years, centuries of slavery and decades of Jim Crow rule and Jim Crow laws," said Cohen.
No one has ever inspected the actual ballots that didn't have an interest in the 2020 results being confirmed.
A federal grand jury has no obligation to accept any conclusions reached by anyone before them.
That's because no one before them had subpoena power of a federal court, and the ability to compel testimony under oath with a threat of contempt if they refuse.
This is a new ballgame played by different rules.
Update: They're still babbling that the seat held by Steve Cohen is his forever because "it's a black district."

Tennessee Passes New Gerrymandered Map Which Will, Hopefully, Eliminate the Last Democrat-Held Congressional Seat
—Disinformation Expert Ace
And that seat is held by hyperpartisan asshole Steve Cohen and oh boy, will I be glad to see the back of him.
Below, the map has redrawn the map so that parts of Democrat-stronghold Memphis will be included with big swathes of red country voters, hopefully flipping it to Republicans.
It's a dirty gerrymander but Democrats have long been playing this game dirty as hell for decades. As people keep pointing out, New England, as a whole, is 40% Republican -- but Republicans have no seats in any NE state, because they've all been gerrymandered so that Democrats outnumber them in each and every bizarrely-crafted district.
It's just one seat. It will take Tennessee -- one hopes -- from 8 to 1 to 9 to 0.
But every seat is precious, as declares the masthead credo of Modern Butt Magazine.
Tennessee Republicans have put forward a new congressional map that could secure all nine of the state's congressional districts for the GOP by eliminating a Democrat-represented district that was gerrymandered in order to create a black voting majority. Governor Bill Lee (R) had called the state legislature into a special session on Friday in to consider redistricting following a Supreme Court ruling against racial gerrymandering.
DETAIL: The proposed map divides the majority-black district in Shelby County, potentially displacing Representative Steve Cohen, and also alters Maury County to favor Republican incumbent Rep. Andy Ogles.
Democrats handled the political setback as they always do, with disorder, intimidation, and threat of violence:

Gavin Newsom Gave $40 Million in California Taxpayer Dollars to an Islamist Hate Group Who Advised Muslims to Call for the Death of Jews Privately, But Avoid Saying So on Public Media
—Disinformation Expert Ace
So Californians paid $40 million to promote taqiyya?
Why Did California Award This Alleged Hamas Front $40 Million?
Other states are trying to shutter CAIR branches. Gavin Newsom is writing them checks.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) presents itself as an innocuous Muslim civil rights group--a reputation it reinforces with litigation and claims of anti-Muslim bigotry. But the group finds itself under increasing scrutiny for alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, Hamas. Last November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated CAIR a terrorist organization. The following month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis followed suit, citing CAIR's being listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorism financing case.
But as other states move to sideline CAIR, California is embracing this alleged terror front. CAIR-CA, the organization's largest statewide affiliate, is flush with taxpayer cash. In the last five years, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has rubberstamped at least $41 million in funding to the group. The vast majority of that money, it turns out, comes from the federal government. These federal dollars are flowing into CAIR-CA's coffers even after it was the target of a recent Department of Justice investigation.
This City Journal report--based on a trove of documents provided to us by the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), a California-based nonprofit--reveals good reason for the DOJ to be digging into CAIR-CA. It also raises serious questions about why Gavin Newsom's government is funding a chapter of an organization with alleged terrorist ties.
CAIR was founded in 1994 with the ostensible aim of advancing Muslim-American civil rights. The organization claims that it "is not and never has been an agent" or affiliate of "any militant group." But the historical record offers justification to question that characterization.
...
One would think that CAIR's ties to an Islamist terror group would make government agencies pause before providing it with public funds. But under Governor Gavin Newsom, California's state government has seemingly never met a "marginalized group" it did not want to shower with other people's money. CAIR-CA is rolling in tax dollars.
In 2022, CDSS awarded CAIR-CA $7.2 million in federal funds via a state program to provide immigration-related legal assistance. For its part, CAIR-CA pledged to serve approximately 1,800 people through September 2024, and earlier this year, claimed to have fulfilled that promise "across . . . various subgrantees." According to IAN, a public records request submitted to the CDSS did not confirm how many legal cases have been handled as part of the grant; in its most recent annual report, CAIR-CA said that it had helped "dozens of Afghan families" through the project. In September 2025, CDSS rubberstamped an additional $23 million in federal funds for CAIR-CA.
In 2024, CAIR-CA's IRS filings revealed that it had distributed more than $4 million in subgrants to 39 organizations. Among these sub-grantees were various groups with Islamist ties. For example, CAIR-CA sub-granted roughly $185,000 to California chapters of the Muslim American Society (MAS). GWU's Program on Extremism identifies MAS as an open "Brotherhood legacy group" in the U.S. In 2004, a top MAS official estimated that nearly half of the organization's activists were Muslim Brotherhood members. (MAS, which did not respond to our request for comment, claims to have "no affiliation" with the Muslim Brotherhood.)
Ah, "subgrantees" once again -- the way that corrupt government officials launder money illegally to banned groups. Fauci did the same with funding the creation of covid-19 -- he awarded a grant to his butt buddy Peter Daszak's EcoHealth, who then did the thing that Fauci was forbidden to do and sent money to the Wuhan's Covid lab to create the virus that shut down the world.
CAIR-CA also sub-granted $30,000 to the Islamic Society of Orange County, which has ties to an individual connected to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In 1992, ISOC's director invited Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as the "Blind Sheikh," to deliver a lecture, during which he reportedly "dismissed" nonviolent interpretations of jihad. A year later, Rahman was charged with seditious conspiracy for his connection to the attack. (ISOC did not respond to our request for comment.)
In 2024, CAIR-CA sub-granted $117,000 to California "relief" chapters of the Islamic Circle of North America. ICNA was originally established as a U.S. affiliate of the Jamaat-e-Islami movement, whose founder's ideology influenced the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, in 2000, a former ICNA president penned an article that seemingly endorsed the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the U.S. (ICNA did not respond to our request for comment.)
CAIR-CA has claimed, however implausibly, that it has no control over the selection of its sub-grantees. In January 2026, the director of CAIR-CA, Hussam Ayloush, wrote to a congressional subcommittee claiming that his organization "had no input or role" in determining the sub-grantees. Instead, he suggested that CDSS had selected them.
While CDSS told IAN that it "reviews and authorizes all . . . subgrantees," the department did not release records showing that it approved or authorized the CAIR-CA sub-grants. Additionally, Alyoush's signature appears on the sub-grant contracts, which, according to IAN, suggests that CAIR-CA exercised significant discretion over millions in federal tax dollars.
Below, the well-heeled terrorist Newsom is paying huge sums of money to advises Muslims not to say hateful terrorist things on LinkedIn, but says that you can say these things in the privacy of Muslim spaces, and certainly you may think and believe them.
She warns that advocating "things I can't say" about "Zionist" is "not strategic," but you can say it around a Muslim center if you're so inclined. Just be "strategic" in your support of terrorism and murder of non-Muslims!
Zahra Billoo, one of the leaders of the American Islamist terror-linked nonprofit, CAIR, instructed Muslims to be strategic in how they hide their radicalism. She says transparency is not good.
Here is CAIR-CA leader Zahra Billoo saying "the cops are racist" and that "policing in this country originates as a way to protect rich white men attempting to own black people."

As the Likely All-Time Star Wars Box Office Failure Mandalorian and Grogu Is Set to Bomb on May 22, Lunatic Abortion-Thirsty Former Celebrity Mark Hamill Publicly Prays for the Death of the President
—Disinformation Expert Ace
As always: the subhed is Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
Mark Hamill appeared in the TV show the film is based on -- well, he didn't "appear," a de-aged CGI double of him "appeared," one that doesn't look like a wad of chewed gum covered in a homeless man's beard-hairs -- and it's very likely this assassination-wishing communist death-cultist will appear in the Disney Groomer Organization's new disaster.
They calculated that this would stoke audience interest.
So now this lunatic does this, and the same Groomer corporation who fired and defamed Gina Carano for saying her pronouns were "beep/boop" stands behind their assassination prepper.

Barack Obama, who ordered the mass-prosecution of his political opponent, his staff, and their lawyers, and who now (as ever) pals around with a terrorist, expresses his disappointment that modern Republicans don't "respect the rule of law" like he did.

The Democrats responded to the assassination attempts by scoffing, smirking, laughing, protected and supported by legacy corporate media, and accusing Trump of staging the attempts on his own life.
But none dared stand up to the rabid left that has tried to take Trump's life and threatened the lives of other Republicans, from Republicans in Congress shot by an angry leftist at a baseball practice, to conservatives on the Supreme Court. And I wondered:
What would happen if Obama's life had been repeatedly threatened with assassins failing three times in a matter of months and Republicans called Obama a fascist What if conservatives appear on late night TV talk shows to mock Michelle Obama the way ABC's Jimmy Kimmel tastelessly mocked First Lady Melania Trump, and dared say Michelle was "glowing like an expectant widow?" How long would he have a show?
Don't think of it as some parlor game. Think of it happening right now, for real.
Would Kimmel keep his $16 million salary and perks if he mocked Michelle? Would the blue cities burn at the hands of angry blacks as the cities burned during the Democrat "Summer of Love in 2020 when the left turned the violent drug-addicted thug George Floyd into a saint?
The broken legacy media won't address this and or dare challenge their rabid leftist subscriber base. I don't see the Chicago Tribune and the rest of Chicago media demanding that Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker shut his Ozempically skinny lips and insist he stop inciting assassination by repeatedly screaming lies that Trump is a Nazi and Fascist?
I'm sure you can outline the issue. Three assassination attempts and they will continue because the hard left demands it.
These questions are no longer hypothetical, like they used to be.
We're tired of playing by different rules.
If the real rules supported by the Democrat-Media Complex say that it is understandable and even noble to agitate a movement's more excitable members to kill people the movement doesn't like, the countdown to the Republican embrace of this rule is officially ticking down.
John Kass, continued:
As Jimmy Kimmel basks in all the attention he's getting, has anyone had the good manners to think of Tuffy Gessling?
You've forgotten Tuffy?
He's the Missouri rodeo clown banned for life for mocking Obama, daring to ask the crowd if they wanted to see another clown in an Obama mask "get run down" by a bull.
Gesseling was forced to march the walk of shame and he was banned. FOR LIFE. And he was a real clown not some buffo from Chicago who had the crooked influence peddler Tony Rezko buy him a Chicago dreamhouse while presenting publicly as some kind of virtuous political reformer.
And the great Hank Williams Jr. had an iconic song, one of my favorites, titled Are you ready for some football? It was deleted from Monday Night Football." He called Obama some kind of Hitler. And apparently only white male Republicans can be called the 'h' word, but Obama may never be mocked that way. Never, ever.
But ESPN/ABC currently defends Kimmel for his tasteless attacks on The First Lay Melania Trump and the Trump family.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard Investigates Evidence That the "Intelligence" Community Treasonously Covered Up for China's Election Interference So That Neither Trump or Congress Could Do Anything About It
DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show
The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China's actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a "false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not."
By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.
The memos indicate Gabbard's team first learned about the evidence -- much of it yet classified -- last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director's Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.
Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020
The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump's candidacy in 2020.
The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states' voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.
They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China's malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter -- the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber -- trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter's whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.
The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President's Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.
These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.
One email in the possession of ODNI allegedly states that an intelligence agency planned to massage one particular presidential briefing document meant for Trump to dodge the mention of election influence concerns despite raw intelligence reporting on the subject.
The memos also point to emails showing alleged attempts by certain CIA officials to cover up election influence efforts by China and to push a CIA analyst to change a federal record about an agency meeting where CIA officials purportedly hinted that China-related evidence was being held back to avoid helping Trump in the 2020 race.
...
It was revealed last year that a confidential human source told FBI counterintelligence in the summer of 2020 that China's communist government was seeking to meddle in the impending election in an effort to help then-candidate Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was made public.
ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Child Predators Working as Staff Around Children on a Disney Cruise Ship Plus: Seattle's Woke Wallflower Communist Mayor Exceeds Even My High Expectations for Excellence
A group of alleged child predators were arrested after they'd been working around children and families aboard a Disney cruise.
They were apprehended by the same immigration agents Democrats want to defund.
KNSD reported Wednesday that a Disney cruise docked in San Diego after a trip with stops in Ensenada, Baja California, as well as Catalina Island, where federal agents took several employees into custody.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Sandra Grisolia released a statement about the raid:
"On April 28, HSI San Diego arrested twenty-three crewmembers from multiple cruise ships at the Port of San Diego as part of Operation Tidal Wave. The arrests targeted individuals suspected of involvement with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), based on information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children."
"The arrestees were transported to Los Angeles for processing, and their visas were revoked," the ICE spokeswoman continued.
The New York Post clarified that it's unclear which other ships from companies outside of Disney may have been involved.
Dharmi Mehta, a passenger on a Disney cruise, said that witnessing the arrests was "really unsettling."
...
Benjamin Prado from Union del Barrio stated, "This is not an isolated incident," adding, "In fact, it has become a growing pattern, not only here in San Diego but throughout this country.

In related news, two Cultural Enrichment Officers, one probably (according to the communist med) a doctor curing cancer and the other most likely an engineer who's about to create unlimited energy out of Love, savagely attacked an elderly man in Seattle, currently governed by yet another Woke Wallflower Communist Democrat.
Note that one of the Cultural Enrichment Officers was actually arrested on another assault charge that night -- and was, of course, immediately released without bail. He's now in the wind.
Oh, and he's a Somali. Which might mean he's here legally.
Both men were ID'd thanks to surveillance cameras posted in high-crime areas.
The Woke Wallflower Communist opposes these cameras because, she fears, ICE could "take control" of the cameras and use them to spot dangerous criminal illegal aliens.
Such as the Cultural Enrichment Officers who just curb-stomped a 77-year-old man for literally no reason except their demonic racism and lust to hurt people of other races.
Seattle, USA: A 77-year-old American man steps off a bus in the city center and is brutally beaten — without any reason by Somali migrant Abdullahi Olman.

This dishrag dirtbag, who never worked a day in her life because she's a Trust Fund C**t, had her aide stop an interview when the White Man viciously asked her about her policy on surveillance cameras. "Stay on topic," the White Man (spit!) was ordered. "The topic" being the things this squalid unfuckable wanted to talk about.

Funny how governments obfuscate their financial decisions with high-minded platitudes about the social good and moving forward and building community. The Norwegian government decided to reopen those fields for one reason...tax receipts from the sale of that natural gas will be through the roof. And then they will be able to pay (for a little while) for the massive welfare state that has developed in the last 25 years, as the immigrant population has tripled. Yes...tripled! 6% in 2000, to 18% today.
Norway has approved plans to reopen three gas fields in the North Sea that were shut down nearly three decades ago, a move the government says will support European energy security.
The Ministry of Energy said on May 5 that it has approved development plans for the Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk, and Tommeliten Gamma fields, all located in the Ekofisk area in the southern North Sea.
The fields were discovered in the 1970s and began production between 1977 and 1988, but were closed in 1998 during a redevelopment of the Ekofisk field.
Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the reopening showed the continuing value of Norway’s offshore assets.
Norway is positioned well in comparison to most of the rest of Europe, because they are almost entirely powered by hydro power. They use petroleum for profit, which sounds good, but they are unbelievably smug and hypocritical about going carbon-zero domestically, because they pay for it with petroleum exports!
Gas will be exported to Emden in Germany, while condensate, a light liquid hydrocarbon that is separated from natural gas, will be sent to Teesside in the UK.
Unlike Norway, Germany has moved more cautiously, backing limited domestic and cross-border gas projects, while the UK’s major new North Sea projects remain caught between energy–security arguments, court rulings, and a government net-zero policy shift away from new drilling licenses.
Germany and the UK are collaborating on net-zero goals—the total “decarbonization” of all sectors away from fossil fuels—with Germany targeting 2045 and the UK 2050.
Ah yes...the two European economies failing the fastest! Destroying domestic energy production, welcoming millions of 3rd world savages who are busily draining the government coffers while simultaneously catering to their every cultural demand does not sound like a solid basis for a 21st century economy! Germany is particularly suicidal...they had 19 functioning nuclear power plants in 2000, and today? Zero. None. At least the UK only cut nuclear power by half, not the absolutely insanity of the Germans.
But both countries are fixated on carbon-zero economies, and both countries will fail. Perhaps they can repurpose their highways and use them for solar generation? Nobody will be able to drive anyway. Or start cutting down their forests for a few years' worth of heating. That would work!
It is impossible to run a modern economy on renewables, except for a few small countries that have hydro or geothermal. The other technologies simply don't work. The sun doesn't shine very much at night, and the wind doesn't blow 24 hours a day! Plus, the destructiveness of solar and wind is the dirty little secret of the environmental lobbies. Solar is inefficient and sucks up huge amounts of land. Wind generation is also inefficient, uses a huge amount of petroleum during construction, and is famously unreliable. Then at the end of their functional lives, these installations are enormously difficult to recycle. Mostly they get dumped into land fills!
And the upshot of all of this communist/environmental nonsense is that electricity rates in Germany have almost tripled since 2000. And in the UK? Pretty much the same! But all of those Germans and Brits can feel satisfied that they are saving the earth! as they freeze in the winter and boil in the summer.
At least the Germans can enjoy their fast cars for a little while longer on those good highways of theirs...right? Except that their fuel costs between double and triple what ours costs.
It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at their predicament. They have no one to blame except themselves and their feckless leaders. In 50 years, when the UK and Germany are the poorest countries in Europe, and on the fast track to being governed by Sharia law, I wonder whether their citizenry will question their decisions, or will they continue to blame everyone else?

The slip occurred when the debate segued into the destructive Palisades Fire of 2025 and reports that dozens of fire trucks were in need of repair prior to that fateful day. It was when Bass had to utter the word “trucks” that another word slipped out. “So yes, there were fire trucks that were broken, but there were also fire fucks,” Bass said before she immediately corrected herself to say “trucks that were out of use.”
No it's not the broken trucks that were the problem it was her and Gavin Newsom's politically-driven ineptitude and incompetence that caused one of the most expensive and beautiful neighborhoods in Los Angeles and America to be reduced to ashes and rubble, and more than a year later to remain a ruin and a monument to insane leftist policies. "Fire Fucks" indeed. Both of them should have been fired long ago and in a sane world should never have been within a billion light years from any position of political power. And it's not just them but the political party and movement that they are floating near the top of. Barring some unforeseen dark horse candidate Greasy Greaseball Newsom, despite being white, male and publicly non-homo, will probably be at the top of the ticket in 2028.
As a reminder, California was once the 6th largest economy in the world, and a place that for generations Americans flocked to, as a place to live the American dream. Now people with an ounce of sanity are fleeing California in droves. The Democrats are not necessarily worried about that . . .
Democrat California Gov. candidate Katie Porter inadvertently revealed the real reason leftist politicians are pushing for sanctuary cities.
Porter let the mask slip during Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate and admitted that illegal immigration is one of “the only ways [California] has been growing in recent years,” seemingly embracing the replacement of American residents with foreigners. Notably, the deep blue state has welcomed illegals to the tune of millions while an estimated 10 million California residents have fled the state in the last decade.
And as if you weren't aware, they may be here illegally but every one of them is a registered Democrat who votes, early and often I'd bet. And for their troubles they are given welfare to the tune now of hundreds of billions of dollars, as was uncovered in Minnesota and in Ohio and surprise, surprise California.
A Chicago alderman is calling for “corporate” criminal charges against the pharmacy chain Walgreens for its plan to close a store on the city’s troubled South Side over concerns over retail theft and violence at the drugstore. “We’re not here to beg Walgreens to stay,” Ward 6 Alderman Will Hall said at news conference, surrounded by local community members. “We are saying that their decision is the wrong decision my opinion. In my opinion, it should be considered a first-degree corporate crime. Because the amount of people that will be hurt by this, the amount of elders who will not have access to healthcare is evil.”
What's evil is causing the breakdown of the family and decriminalizing crime while blaming free market capitalism, America and our society which allowed Chicago to become a one-time flourishing megalopolis, unlike the decaying hellhole it is today thanks to vermin like this alderman and his ilk.
Well, once this Mamdani-wannabe seizes the means of production and all private property, paradise on earth will be achieved, just like in the Soviet Union. Or Cuba.
During a press briefing on Cuba on Tuesday, Jayapal spoke about how, in January, President Donald Trump had signed an executive order “declaring a national emergency over the threats to America posed by Cuba.” In a post on X, Scott responded to Jayapal’s comments in which she described the sanctions against countries giving oil to Cuba, and firms and banks working with Cuba, as “an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba.”
“DISTURBING: @RepJeffries and @HouseDemocrats, members of your party are OPENLY admitting to aiding a communist adversary in coordination with foreign countries to VIOLATE American sanctions,” Scott wrote. “@POTUS put those sanctions in place to keep Americans SAFE and to hold the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime accountable for their crimes.”
So, where are the arrests and prosecutions RIck Scott, and President Trump?! The world wonders...

Teen fertility collapsed globally starting around 2007. This affected countries across the income and policy spectrum. This paper argues that smartphones changed how teens spend time with each other, and that this change in turn drove the collapse in teen fertility. Once enough teens are on the phone, being on the phone is where the peer network is; in-person time falls sharply, and with it the unstructured contact in which most unintended teen conceptions occur.
The model predicts that the shift towards the phone-mediated equilibrium affects multiple aspects of teen behavior. The same instrument that produces a collapse in teen fertility produces a surge in teen suicides.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., described protesters who demonstrated in New York City on Tuesday as "Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads," and indicated that the Democratic Party should speak out against them.
"Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care," Fetterman wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
"Where's my party's condemnation?"
Fetterman made the comments when sharing a post on X that featured video footage in which people could be heard engaging in what sounded like an anti-Zionist chant.
By the way, I wanted to link Fetterman saying "I can't see continuing as a Democrat" and "the party has lost their way" but I could not find video of Lumpy Jack actually saying that and that's because he didn't say it. Those quotes are from a parody site called "Nothing on this Site is Real."
Just wanted to give you a heads up about that fake news.
But it still is possible that he'll become an independent. The party is determined to purge him.
If Fetterman does flip, according to officials who were given anonymity to talk about sensitive matters, it will be thanks in large part to his deepening friendship with a pair of senators and their high-profile spouses: Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), and his wife Dina, and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), and her husband, Wesley.
But the first-term Democrat -- who's infuriated his party with his harder line on immigration and staunch support for Israel, Trump nominees, government funding bills and most recently the president's ballroom -- isn't yet persuaded.
"I'm not changing," Fetterman told me in an interview Friday when I asked if he was ruling out both becoming a Republican or turning independent. "I'm a Democrat, and I'm staying one. "
Yet, at least in private, he's not totally rejecting dropping his "D."
When one senior Republican recently brought up the idea of becoming an independent to Fetterman, he absorbed the suggestion and didn't embrace or reject the overture, according to a GOP official familiar with the conversation.
In our interview, Fetterman said bluntly: "I'd be a shitty Republican."
There are his votes against big-ticket measures, such as last year's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, but also his liberal views on a raft of cultural issues.
...
Fetterman has raised these same doubts about how welcome he'd be as a Republican to his GOP colleagues, too, I'm told by sources briefed on the conversations.
If Republicans can't tolerate even Tillis, Fetterman suggested, how would they accept somebody who supports abortion rights, gay rights, legalizing marijuana and is pro-labor? (He flies the pride flag outside his Senate office.) Senate Republicans have reminded the Pennsylvanian that there are members of their conference who are more moderate on each of those issues.
Trump, who knows a thing or two about party switching, has also gotten in on the action. He's told one GOP senator he prefers Fetterman making the full conversion to Republican, according to a source familiar with the conversation.
And Trump has said, if Fetterman does, he'd reciprocate. In his typical unsubtle fashion, the president conveyed as much to Sean Hannity in March and asked Hannity to play intermediary.
BREAKING 🚨: Here's one reason John Fetterman is giving serious consideration to becoming a Republican.
A Democrat named Raymond Eugene Chandler III, who was planning to run against Fetterman in the Senate primary for 2028, was arrested by the FBI on May 1 for leaving multiple voicemails with death threats and graphic obscene messages on the voice mail of Fetterman's 13-year-old daughter.
Chandler also threatened to kill President Trump.
Chandler had declared his candidacy for the 2028 U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania, positioning himself as a "leftist" or progressive primary challenger to Fetterman, running on a platform of wealth redistribution.
Like most Americans, Fetterman is coming to the realization that today's Democrat Party is no longer the Party of JFK -- who was patriotic, pro-life, pro-God, very anti-communist, and pro-capitalist.
But today's Democrat Party has become the party of political assassination, violence, mental illness, and hatred of America.
Today's Democrat Party actively roots for Iran to defeat America and our troops.
Today's Democrats are the party of open borders, lawlessness, election fraud, and using the schools to indoctrinate our children into radical Left LGBTQ ideology (including encouraging children as young as kindergarten to undergo gender transition surgeries).
Today's Democrat Party actively works for America's destruction at every level. And John Fetterman has had enough.
There are reports that President Trump has had conversations with John Fetterman, has offered him massive financial backing, and Trump's endorsement.
Some say: "But Fetterman usually votes with the Democrats."
True.
But my experience is people change their voting behavior and views when they make the decision to switch sides.
Both Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan were Democrats at one point. Reagan famously said: "I did not leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me.
I consider myself to be a JFK-style Democrat.
...
I think John Fetterman is coming to the same realization.

Alleged Palisades arsonist became 'fixated' with Luigi Mangione, said blaze started 'out of resentment of the rich': prosecutors
The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become "fixated" on Luigi Mangione in the lead-up to the deadly blaze -- and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of "resentment of the rich," prosecutors said.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused health care CEO killer and had routinely searched "free Luigi Mangione" and "lets take down all the billionaires" online, court documents show.
In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades Fire, Rinderknecht -- who worked as an Uber driver -- ranted to customers about Mangione's arrest, too.
"Many of defendant's Uber passengers on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, described defendant as angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being 'pissed off at the world' and Luigi Mangione, capitalism, and vigilantism," prosecutors noted in a trial memorandum.
When asked why someone would ultimately set the blaze, Rinderknecht allegedly responded that it "would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as 'we're basically being enslaved by them' and compared such an act of 'desperation' to the murder for which Mangione was charged," according to the memo.
He murdered 12 people and caused hundreds of billions of damage.
This should hit a bit different now that court documents show the fire Burr was talking about was set by another Luigi Mangione fan. Bill promoted the exact ideology that led to 12 being killed & sucked up to the Dems for their crappy response https://t.co/6gABtZ7KtX

"It's f**king f**ked." -- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source" Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER
He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight
It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.
Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.

If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.
That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.
Cataclysmic
Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.< br>
If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.
Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.
Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult. Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98. Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years. Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that. People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs. Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time. I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
