Democrat House leader Hakeem Jeffries and potentially the next Speaker, is the nephew of militant racist Leonard Jeffries.
Before his July 20, 1991 speech, Dr. Leonard Jeffries was already known for his teaching that blacks are racially superior to whites because blacks, whom he calls “sun people,” have more melanin in their skin than whites, whom he calls “ice people.”
“Let me clarify my views,” Dr. Jeffries said, after a long exegesis on the role of Jews in the African slave trade, “if they say we are destroying Western civilization with our proposals, then I say let it happen quickly, because Western civilization is nothing more than an institutionalized, sophisticated form of barbarism.”
. . .Now that’s important because when these people talk about “white supremacists”, they don’t mean the KKK, they mean Americans in general and all who aren’t on board with their black supremacist agenda.
Now let’s meet Hakeem’s brother in the present day.
Hasan Kwame Jeffries tweeted that, “John Brown understood that only way to free America from the scourge of white supremacy was to get rid of white supremacists by any means necessary. He was right THEN. He is right now.”
Whom does the possible future Speaker’s brother consider needs killing? Is Trump on the list?
His current timeline is full of rants about “white people” and claims that Republicans are the new ‘Jim Crow’
I suppose the only question left to ask is whether Hakeem agrees with his brother the way he did with his uncle.
Black conservatives perennially face the slur that they’re “not really black” if they aren’t on the Left. Not only that, they are tools of white racists if they dissent from the NAACP hard line.
When the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to overturn a racially gerrymandered congressional district in Louisiana, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) was outraged by the local Deseret News in Salt Lake City prominently featuring an Associated Press photo of a lone black protester in front of the court holding a sign that said, “Thurgood is watching you, Clarence.” That implied Thurgood Marshall was disappointed in Clarence Thomas.
Lee tweeted: “They’re going after Justice Thomas for being conservative while Black...
So being black has nothing to do with melanin but political persuasion. Ditto sex, sexual orientation and heritage. The long and short of it is being good means Leftist, and being evil is anything other than that. And from there, you have the absolute moral authority to do anything to gain and maintain power because democracy, freedom and the planet demand it! And those who protest or accuse them of hypocrisy have no right because after all America itself, along with western civilization and Judeo/Christianity are collectively all to be blamed. And as this essay alludes, being a "white supremacist" merely means being white. This is where melanin or lack thereof is all that is needed to define people, unlike the reverse vis a vis Clarence Thomas and others like him.
Yes, the Democrat/Left are evil and dangerous and they're at their most evil and dangerous when they're cornered like rats and sense that the political winds are blowing in the opposite direction to where they want to take us.
With the Virginia Supreme Court rejecting the naked power grab of Spanberger and her cohorts in the attempted gerrymandering and complete disenfranchising of non-leftist Virginians, the reaction was almost worse than their attempted power grab: the sacking of their State's Supreme Court and replacement with Leftist lackies. If they succeed, God-forbid, it might be lights out for America before too long.
If at first you don’t succeed, throw out the rules and rig the game in your favor.
That’s the strategy Democrats are looking to embrace after the Virginia Supreme Court slapped down their illegal efforts to gerrymander the commonwealth in their favor ahead of the 2026 midterms. The state’s high court found (4-3) that the Democrat-run General Assembly violated the Virginia Constitution by bypassing procedural requirements necessary for the redistricting amendment to appear on the state’s April ballot. . . Not content with accepting defeat, Democrats are exploring ways to resurrect their failed gerrymandering gambit ahead of the 2026 elections, The New York Times reported over the weekend. Democrats’ brainstorming session included one “audacious” and “possibly far-fetched” idea that involves packing the Virginia Supreme Court with new Democrat appointees. Floated on a purported phone call between U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Virginia Democrat House leaders, the proposal involves the Virginia General Assembly and Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger approving legislation that would lower the retirement age for state Supreme Court justices.
America is not yet at the stage reached by the Weimar Republic in Germany in the 1920s or among Japan’s military rulers in the 1930s, in which the assassination of politicians became almost routine, a means to remove talented individuals from power and to discourage opposing views from being voiced.
But when putatively respectable individuals and institutions on one side of the political spectrum give voice to approval of violence and murder, the Weimar experience comes into view. When one side’s leaders’ rhetoric constantly portrays the opposition leader as another Hitler, it’s not surprising that some of its followers take it on themselves to kill him.
The assassinations and attempts might not be coming fast and furious, to coin a phrase, but the deplatforming, debanking, censorship, intimidation and other tactics surely have the same chilling effect on any voices of dissent wherever they come from. From the halls of Congress to the boardroom, to Main Street and Wall Street, to school boards and right down to the schoolyard itself!
Well, Weimar is as Weimar does. And with that...
Have a good day.

Accoridng to the creator of the library and utility cURL, who knows a thing or two about AI bug hunting having been inundated with AI-generated bug reports for years.
Python is a great programming language for humans to use, because it makes it easy to get something up and running - at the cost of becoming slow and burdensome for large systems.
But the same properties that make it easy for humans to write make it hard for AI models to reason about, and languages like Rust and Go that favour strict, static typing are easier for AI models to generate correctly and also compile to code that runs faster.
The remaining win for Python is its massive ecosystem with modules like Numpy and PyTorch for numerical processing and AI respectively, but if you don't need to use those directly, why not go straight to Rust?

The Quotes of The Day

“Because race has always been identified as a political consideration, not only as it relates to the constitution of the United States but also how it is implemented at the state level. That’s why these districts were always drawn so that they took race into consideration.” Donna Brazile
Quote II

Sounds like a school district that discriminates against black autistic children. Guess who else at that school district never learned to think outside the box? And further more I would bet a Benjamin that the decision was made by a woman.
If anything, the SPLC proved more aggressive during Huang’s leadership. That 2022 “hate map” included Moms for Liberty and other parental rights groups alongside chapters of the Ku Klux Klan. The following year, the SPLC added groups of doctors who oppose transgender ideology to the map. Last year, it added PragerU, Focus on the Family, and Turning Point USA to the map. A few months later, Charlie Kirk got a bullet in the neck.
Hayden’s story reveals yet more dysfunction and corruption at the SPLC, but his suggestion that the SPLC should grow even more aggressive in demonizing conservatives is bone-chilling.
Let’s hope the new leadership doesn’t follow his advice.

The historical-- and religious -- inspirations for Tolkein's lembas bread/"waybread." If you don't have the time, it's based partly on the holy communion wafer, which is said to provide spiritual sustenance, just as the lembas bread, Merry says, gives "heart." It's also based on stuff like WWI era hard-tack.
Interesting: He claims that the first waffles were created as people were experimenting with the grills that made communion wafers, and claims that "waffles" is related to "wafers." I don't know if that's true, but the words "wafer" and "waffle" do seem related.

The former mayor of Arcadia resigned after admitting to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China in a federal plea deal unsealed on Monday.
Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People's Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022. The city is within LA County.
Wang pled guilty to the federal charge at her arraignment in downtown Los Angeles on Monday afternoon. She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.
LA's top federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said this is not the first time China has been caught trying to exert its influence in the United States.
"Ms. Wang is just the latest to act as an agent for the PRC and it should terrify Americans that she was able to rise to the highest levels of local office in her city," Essayli said.
According to court documents, Wang worked with her then fiancé, Yaoning "Mike" Sun, on a web site called "U.S. News Center," which claimed to be news source for Chinese Americans.
But in reality the pair were carrying out Beijing's orders through the site, and sharing data on how many people had viewed the story with Chinese officials.
Wang and Sun "executed directives" from the Chinese government, posting propaganda designed to help China and reporting back to their masters with screenshots showing how many people viewed the stories, according to the plea agreement.
In one case, Wang's spymaster ordered her to post a PRC-authored essay denying the existence of genocide and forced labor in the Xinjiang region, according to the document.
"There is no genocide in Xinjiang; there is no such thing as 'forced labor' in any production activity, including cotton production. Spreading such rumor is to defame China, destroy Xinjiang's safety and stability," wrote Wang's master, according to the plea agreement.

BREAKING: Walgreens reveals the Chicago South Side store they are shuttering after 20 years, lost $1 million mainly due to theft last year, which is 4x the company average, while they spent $400k a year on security and employees still got assaulted.

Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing outrage from Chicago residents over Walgreens store closures, particularly on the South Side.
Walgreens is closing its longtime Chatham store on June 4 after $1 million in losses in 2025 and high theft rates.
The store had been there more than 20 years. Walgreens said theft at that location was four times the company average.
Walgreens spent $400,000 a year on security officers in addition to other measures, but that wasn't enough.
Thieves would break through the defenses and rob the store anyway.
Johnson needs to seriously address the crime that's making businesses leave Chicago.

I still see people claiming that Biden flew migrants into the United States. That did NOT happen. No such program existed.
The closest thing was the parole programs which allowed some Ukrainians, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to come here legally for two years.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
President Biden created the CHNV migrant flights mass parole program which allowed 30,000 migrants to fly into the U.S. every month (not on taxpayer dime) for 2 year humanitarian parole grants, totaling over 500,000 migrants. But they never left, and the DHS Inspector General found the Biden admin wasn't even tracking their parole expiration & certainly wasn't enforcing it. There was also no vetting of their sponsors and widespread fraud was found in the program, leading the Biden admin to temporarily pause it.
One Haitian man who flew into JFK airport as part of the program was supposed to be with his listed sponsor in New Jersey, but he ended up in a migrant hotel outside of Boston where he was convicted of raping a young girl in the hotel.
This program didn't exist before Biden, so yes, Biden quite literally allowed more than half a million migrants to circumvent the border and fly into the US outside of the normal visa or legal immigration process, and the large majority of them are still here well past the expiration of their 2 year parole grants.

Spencer Pratt on how he'll make LA more affordable:
"What people forget is they can't lower the cost of goods. The only thing you can do to make things more affordable as mayor, which I will be able to do, is put more money in people's pockets. We need to put more revenue in the city. We're over here they're always asking me, 'How are you going to balance this budget Spencer? There's going to be no money to do this.'
We should be the number one city in the world. We should have money shooting out of ATMs. We're Los Angeles. There'll be plenty of money when we let the systems work. When we let business work. How can you let business work if you have drug addicts going number two and number one in front of every café?
We lost over 100 restaurants in LA, not because they weren't good food, but cause you have drug addicts scaring people to go out."
Everything Pratt says here is right. He's sharp, smart and strong. He's just letting loose and it's glorious to see.
I wish I lived in LA just so I could vote for him.

Washington Post: 42% of Democrats Think the Butler PA Assassination Attempt that Killed One Man Was "Staged"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Gee it's funny, I remember Jake Tapper devoting his show to rebutting "conspiracy theories" for years.
And now he's silent as a dummy. I wonder why.

@washingtonpost
About 1 in 4 Americans think the April shooting at the White House correspondents' dinner was staged according to a new survey.
Roughly 1 in 3 Democratic respondents said they believed the event was staged, compared with about 1 in 8 Republicans.
Yeah I don't believe 1 in 8 Republicans said that. A lot of Democrats know how crazy they sound and are claiming to be "Republicans" who believe Trump had one of his supporters murdered as a sympathy play.
Many Americans think Trump assassination attempts were fake, survey finds
About 1 in 4 say the correspondents' dinner shooting was staged, the poll found, including roughly a third of Democrats, as conspiracy theories spread widely online.
I remember when it was revealed that "Palestinian" leader Mahmoud Abbas was a Holocaust denier.
His defenders said -- and this is probably accurate -- Holocaust denial brands a "moderate."
Because the harder-core don't deny the Holocaust -- they celebrate it.
Similarly, it's the "moderate" Democrats who claim the many assassination attempts on Trump by their political allies were "staged."
The harder Democrat position is that the assassins were just bad shots, and they need to recruit better ones.
I mean, literally thousands of accounts on TikTok say exactly that.
About 1 in 4 Americans think the April shooting at the White House correspondents' dinner was staged, with a marked partisan divide, according to a survey published Monday.
Roughly 1 in 3 Democratic respondents said they believed the event was staged, compared with about 1 in 8 Republicans, according to a survey published Monday by NewsGuard, a company that rates the reliability of online news outlets. Respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 were also more likely than older people to think the incident was staged, according to the report.
Fake Jake, you want to get in on this or are you all good?
Last week, a federal grand jury in D.C. indicted the alleged gunman, charging Cole Tomas Allen with four felonies, including the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. Soon after the incident that led to his arrest at the Washington Hilton, conspiracy theories began to spread online that falsely claim the Trump administration staged the incident in an effort to manufacture support for the president, the Republican Party and his planned White House ballroom.
The NewsGuard survey found that 24 percent of U.S. adults believe the incident at the Washington Hilton was fake, compared with 45 percent who believed it was legitimate. An additional 32 percent said they were unsure. The survey of 1,000 American adults was conducted by YouGov from April 28 to May 4.
"It's very striking," said Sofia Rubinson, an editor at NewsGuard. The results underscore broader skepticism that Americans feel toward the government and the press, she said. "Increasingly, people on all sides of the political spectrum are distrustful of both this administration and also the media," she said, but willing to trust unverified information they see online.
The White House rejected the conspiracy theories in a statement provided after publication. "Anyone who thinks President Trump staged his own assassination attempts is a complete moron," spokesman Davis Ingle said.
Joan Donovan, a Boston University professor who researches media manipulation, said the results are an indicator of the role of showmanship in Trump's presidency. "It just seems incredibly Hollywood to imagine that this is staged," Donovan said of the correspondents' dinner shooting. "The entire apparatus of the government has been turned into a reality TV show."
Oh I get it, the psychotic breakdown of Democrats is Trump's fault. Of course. Of course.
It can be natural of people to fall for conspiracy theories when they're trying to make sense of complicated events, Donovan said.
"Unfortunately, when governments or institutions are hiding the truth about what they're up to or they're playing fast and loose with certain regulations or they're not imposing certain laws on different people," Donovan said, "it is much easier to believe in a conspiracy against oneself than it is to believe that the system has become rotted."
This is the "expert" the Post called to get context for the left's psychotic break with reality. There were no other experts available.

Keir Starmer Vows to Remain in Office for Ten Years, Double Downs on Endless Illegal Immigration, Calls Immigration Reformers "Dangerous" and Warns They Are Taking the UK Down a "Dark Path"
Keir Starmer: I want 10 years in No 10 and will fight my challengers
The prime minister sets out his project of 'renewal', which includes a scheme to open up Europe for young people, admits Labour needs to act on its election drubbing, and questions donations to Reform and Nigel Farage
Keir Starmer has said he wants a decade in Downing Street and will fight anyone who challenges him for the Labour leadership.
The prime minister described his government as a "10-year project of renewal". Asked whether he would definitely lead his party into the next general election and serve a full second term, he said: "Yes, I will."
...
In his interview, Starmer also pledged to put Europe at the heart of his premiership.
He revealed that the government is close to agreeing the terms of a youth mobility scheme with the European Union.
Oh great, more Migrant Youths. Just what the UK voters were hoping for!
Under the plan, which is expected to be up and running by 2027, Britons under 30 will be able to live or work in the EU. Young Europeans will also be allowed to come to the UK, with the number capped at "tens of thousands" a year. The new "youth experience visa" is set to give 18 to 30-year-olds the right to base themselves abroad for two to three years.
...
But the prime minister said a deal would be unveiled before the summer. "Brexit has held back our young people," he said. "They should be free to work, study, travel in European countries, just as I was able to when I was growing up. That has been snatched away from young people because of Brexit. I'm not going to let Brexit stand in the way of their opportunities."
Note that Queer Starmer pretended to favor Brexit in order to Con the Conservative Rubes -- pissed off by the "Conservatives'" unwillingness to ever honor the "exit" part of Brexit -- into voting for him.
Three Labour MPs have resigned and 55 Labour MPs have called for Starmer's resignation or at least a timeline for his departure.
He's refusing.
..
But the Labour leader was defiant in response to calls for him to quit and made clear he would not stand aside if MPs triggered a leadership contest. "I'm not going to walk away from the job I was elected to do in July 2024," he said. "I'm not going to plunge the country into chaos."
Starmer is also vowing that the Fake Conservative Party plunged the UK into "chaos" by repeatedly tossing out unpopular PMs, and says that Labour must not do that.
That is, Labour must keep him and his Sketch Foreign Male Model Entaglements at No. 10 Dowining Street.
Ministerial aides are resigning to pressure him to resign:
That was followed by a near constant soundtrack of Labour MPs, one after another, publicly calling for him to go, sooner or later.
And by teatime, the most significant of those - the resignation of ministerial aides, from the lowest rung of the government - saying they too had lost faith in their leader.
One of them, Joe Morris, was the parliamentary private secretary to Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary not short of prime ministerial ambition. What might Streeting do next?
...
Naushabah Khan says she has resigned as parliamentary private secretary (PPS) to the Cabinet Office as she calls for new Labour leadership.
Khan, who is MP for Gillingham and Rainham, says she has always put her constituents interests first, and that is why she has made the "difficult decision to resign".
"We need a clear change of direction now and no game playing," she says, adding that a Labour government "can and will rise to meet the moment if we act now".
"I am calling for new leadership, so that we can rebuild trust and deliver the better future that the British people voted for," she writes.
Starmer 'no longer has trust of the public,' says ministerial aide Joe
...
As Labour MPs call for Starmer to go, there is a feeling of momentum that the pace is quickening, that more and more names are being made public.
There is plenty of talk here tonight that there is plenty more to follow.
So, 55 Labour MPs and counting saying the prime minister should go or set a timetable to go.
If that number continues to remorselessly tick up, as it has been doing in the last few minutes and hours, it won't be sustainable in all likelihood.
There will be demands for the prime minister to say something, do something and respond to a party that increasingly is in open revolt.
Starmer insists he must remain PM to safeguard the "diverse" country Labour (and the treacherous Tories) have created, against the wishes of native Britons.
And like clock work, Starmer deploys the same strategy that has been the fundamental cause of Labour's downfall from the start. He blames the British public for noticing their country turning into something unrecognisable. He says "I don't think that's British" to question "this… pic.twitter.com/b20Xi7zGYG
Virginia Democrats Seethe and Scheme to Mass-Fire All Seven Supreme Court Justices to Replace Them With Compliant Communist Operatives, but Senate Leader Says It's No-Go
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley
May 10
The gut-and-pack scheme is brutally cynical. The Virginia Supreme Court described the earlier gambit as "a story of the tail wagging the dog that has no tail." Now, Democrats would just shoot the dog and adopt a politically modified dog bred to serve.
They're all about Saving Democracy. Didn't you know that, racists?
RedState reported Sunday on the sheer desperation that has set in among Democrats at the state and congressional levels after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the process state Democrats used to put their gerrymander referendum on the ballot was a violation of Virginia's Constitution.
...
Perhaps the most extreme of the measures that, per The New York Times, were being considered during a meeting Saturday that included House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), was to have "Democrats in Richmond lower the mandatory retirement age for state Supreme Court justices... from 75 to 54," a plan that, if seen through, would force out every justice currently sitting on the state Supreme Court. Afterwards, they conceivably would use their power to "then fill vacancies on the court with sympathetic Democratic lawyers."
Let us violate the clear wording of our state constitution or else we will take the also-unconstitutional step of declaring 54-year-olds to be too elderly to work.
Unfortunately for Democrats, the brakes have been slammed on the various plots they were cooking up by none other than Virginia State Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax), according to reporting from the Virginia Scope's Brandon Jarvis:
It is not happening
Surovell, the top Democrat in the state Senate, told Virginia Scope Monday morning that these drastic measures will not be taken.
Surovell said that the time restrictions at the Department of Elections make the notion impractical.
He also said forcing the retirement of Supreme Court justices would be extreme, and he wants to work within the existing legal system when fighting against Republicans.
Speaker of the House Don Scott, D-Portsmouth, has not responded to a request for comment.
The timing issue is that all changes to congressional voting must be finalized by May 12 -- tomorrow. So they would have to implement this unconstitutional mass-firing, stock the court with seven compliant communists, reconsider the previous ruling, and issue a new communist ruling in 24 hours.
Even attempting to fire the judges by this method seems to violate the constitution:
Ed Whelan
@EdWhelanEPPC
The Virginia constitution provides one means for removing judges: impeachment by the House of Delegates, followed by conviction by 2/3 of the Senate. The idea that the Virginia legislature could remove state supreme court justices by lowering the mandatory retirement age and applying that lower retirement age to *existing* justices is bonkers. And a majority (perhaps all) of the Virginia supreme court justices would rule that such a measure violates the state constitution.
In a court filing on April 23, Virginia Commissioner of Elections Steven Koski wrote that any changes to the district maps would have to happen before May 12, which is this Tuesday, in order for the Dept. of Elections to be able to have time to prepare for midterms. pic.twitter.com/oGKhFyofgq
🚨 JUST IN: Legal expert Jonathan Turley GOES OFF on Democrats for considering *firing* the entire Virginia Supreme Court to reinstate the 10D-1R gerrymander map
"They will pack SCOTUS AS WELL if they take power!"
"Hakeem Jeffries is very unpopular...but hopes to be the next Speaker. But to do that, he's got to engineer a MAJORITY."
"He's watching that evaporate across the country!"
"It captures the fact that now many on the left are saying that we will win by any means necessary."
"The public needs to understand that many of these same voices have been saying publicly that they will pack the Supreme Court as well. As soon as they take power, many Democratic pundits and politicians have said that they want to pack the Supreme Court to create an instant liberal majority."
"It's the same mindset of by any means necessary. No institution, no value is truly sacred."

"They will pack SCOTUS AS WELL if they take power!"
Such radical proposals are being rationalized with open disinformation. Pundits regularly fail to mention that the Democrats previously gerrymandered states such as Illinois, Massachusetts and New York while claiming the right to win by any means necessary.
Others just deny reality. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., lashed out at the Virginia Supreme Court and demanded to know why they waited so long to rule on whether there were fundamental flaws in the Democratic plan.
Kaine either never read the opinion or sought to mislead voters. The opinion has an entire section on the timing, noting that it was the Democrats and the commonwealth that demanded that the court wait to rule on the merits until after the election. After "successfully" seeking that delay, they are now accusing the court of something untoward in doing what they demanded.
MORNING RANT - The War on Labor Expense: There Never Was a Truck Driver Shortage
—Buck Throckmorton
Those who seek to flood this country with inexpensive, non-citizen labor like to claim that this is necessary due to a shortage of Americans that can or will do the job here in the United States. This has certainly been the case regarding truck drivers.
But there never actually was a truck driver shortage. There has been a shortage of professional truck drivers who will work for the compensation of unskilled labor. Bringing in foreign indentured servants as truck drivers was an awful way to avoid paying market wages for skilled labor.
It somehow became an accepted fact in the business community that one of the industries suffering from a labor shortage was truck driving. This was puzzling, because driving a truck has always been a great opportunity for Americans to earn a middle-class wage and provide for their families, without needing to pursue the college route or go to a highly technical trade school. But that is not to minimize the professional skill and training necessary to be an over-the-road truck driver. It requires its own schooling, technical skills, and a professional demeanor to handle the various challenges of a job that is often very stressful. It is the farthest thing from an entry-level job or a position that requires unskilled labor.
Unfortunately, there is a growing intolerance of any labor expense in some business circles, which makes cheap foreign labor look attractive. In one of those bizarre, horseshoe-shaped political alliances, the American left is in alignment with those who seek to eliminate career-wage, blue-collar jobs in this country. For the left, it’s due to their animus toward heritage Americans, especially those of the “deplorable” working class.
In recent years, while some of us were barely paying attention, our highways suddenly became overrun with untrained, non-English-speaking foreigners who were effectively the property of the Asian “body shops” and the European crime gangs that were trafficking them into the U.S.
Fortunately, the Trump administration is cleaning up this mess and targeting non-qualified and non-domiciled CDLs (commercial drivers licenses), as well as the companies that employ and control them. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is doing great work.
Paying the market wage for skilled labor among a nation’s citizens is not antithetical to capitalism. Just the opposite. It is a fundamental input into the pricing of goods in a free market. Adam Smith, the “Father of Capitalism” was unambiguous in his contempt for the evil institution of slavery as a means to avoid paying for labor. He also understood the futility of expecting the same labor quality from human chattel compared to the quality of work from free people who willingly trade their labor for compensation in a competitive labor market. The chaos and carnage on our nation’s highways from foreign truck drivers has borne this out.
Rather than a shortage of American truck drivers, there will be an abundance of them once the invisible hand of the free market is no longer distorted by the injection of unqualified, foreign labor trafficked into the cabs of America’s big rigs.
There is a shortage of professional truck drivers who will work for the compensation of unskilled labor. Bringing in foreign, chattel-labor as truck drivers was an awful workaround to try to undercut the market price of skilled labor.
Jeffrey Carter Has My Endorsement for Nevada Treasurer
A reminder to readers/voters in Nevada, a friend of the blog, Jeffrey Carter, is running for state Treasurer in the Republican primary. He has my endorsement and he deserves your vote. Early voting starts on May 23 for the June 9 primary.
There are a great many reasons to vote for Jeff, including his financial acumen. But the thing to know is that he is one of us, an out and proud, Trump-supporting conservative who was reading Ace of Spades long before he thought about running for office. He cut his teeth in the Chicago Commodities Exchange, and then ventured into the world of venture capital, never apologizing for or hiding his conservatism nor his support for Donald Trump. (Carter writes the widely linked political site “Points & Figures.”)
While I would endorse Jeffrey Carter, who is a friend of mine, irrespective of the quality of his opponent, Jeff is the clear choice in this race. His opponent, Drew Johnson, is a serial candidate who has name recognition from the races he has lost. The Carter campaign has a link discussing various ethical imbroglios involving Mr. Johnson, but all I need to know is that Drew Johnson is a fringe libertarian who admires Thomas Massie. When Mr. Johnson ran for Congress (a race he lost) he promised to provide Massie a 2nd Republican vote when Massie is working to undermine President Trump.
This is from the Nevada Independent, after Drew Johnson unexpectedly won the 2024 GOP nomination for a Nevada congressional seat:
True to libertarian form, [Drew Johnson] said the current members of Congress who impress him the most are Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), two libertarians who frequently find themselves as the lone "no" vote on bills that every other member supports,
That skepticism of his own party has frequently extended to Trump. In posts from his now locked personal account on X, Johnson called Trump a "socialist" during the 2016 race, called his presidency an "embarrassment" in 2020 over a federal execution during the lame-duck period and said Joe Biden's 2020 victory was "an endorsement of humanity, restraint & kindness."
For Nevadans, Jeffrey Carter is the best candidate to be Nevada’s next Treasurer.
Good morning kids. While no doubt President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu do not view the situation with Iran as such, it certainly seems by all outward appearances that for sure these "negotiations" with the Mullahs or whoever the Mullah du Jour may be, resemble Kabuki theatrics. Despite the absolute necessity of denying and depriving the Armageddon-seeking Dark Age death cult of Islamic controlled Iran of acquiring nuclear weapons as well as exporting terrorism around the globe and brutalizing their own citizenry, what is the end game here, or what acceptable end game can we expect? With the divisions at home not only from the usual America and Trump-haters on the Left but popping up from the right, the battered regime in Tehran may actually survive an onslaught that we had expected and hoped should or would have crushed them. Echoes perhaps of the 1968 Tet Offensive...
Where foreign policy issues are concerned, such as with Iran, a sign of political division always creates a weakness for diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. This has been underscored not only by Kimmel’s jokes but by the comments of various leaders of the Democrat party, like those of Senator Mark Kelly and former Vice President Kamala Harris. The latter, as a presidential candidate in 2024, said all options were on the table to prevent Iran from becoming nuclear armed—only now to criticize the option Trump selected. Ultimately, it was political division and an uninformed anti-war movement that forced an end to the Vietnam war, leaving millions of Vietnamese subject to communism.
President Trump on Sunday appeared to reject Iran’s latest proposal in ongoing negotiations over a peace deal, calling the Islamic republic’s offer “totally unacceptable.”
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president also warned the country against “playing games” after Tehran refused to discuss its nuclear program in its latest response to America’s peace proposal through Pakistani mediators.
Trump slammed the rogue Mideast country for delaying negotiations historically, ranting on the social platform.
“Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Yet between his mixed signals as well as the treasonous behavior of the Left and their media/culture allies, the Mullahs perceive, and perhaps not mistakenly, that time is on their side. Especially with a crucial midterm election approaching and the final months of President Trump's term that could see his political will and power on the wane as he departs office, with no guarantee that a successor will carry on his agenda should whoever the GOP candidate is come out on top in 2028.
If only the President and really the GOP were to treat the Democrat Left and its record of political and physical terrorism against the American people as “totally unacceptable.”
As night follows day, progressives’ response to the Virginia Supreme Court’s tossing of Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s outrageous gerrymander is to demand an instant court-packing move to undo it.
To lefties driving today’s Democratic Party, it’s not “democracy” unless it’s hard-wired to let them run roughshod — and when their power-grab schemes run afoul of the rule of law, their only answer is a fresh scheme.
Specifically, progs want to ram through a law instantly dropping the retirement age for the Virginia court to 54, which would allow the legislature to replace enough justices to restore the gerrymander.
Spanberger’s already caved to the left in pushing an outrage she’d promised to oppose; will she find the spine to say no now?
Wiser minds would call off the madness — but then again wiser minds would’ve avoided this mess in the first place. ..
Nationwide, even moderate Dems are now talking about seizing their next available chance to pack the US Supreme Court, grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico simply to gain them four safe Senate seats and abolish the Senate filibuster — and so lock in progressive power forever.
Anyone paying attention should realize these lunatics need to be kept out of power until the party comes to its senses.
The Democrat party will never "come to its senses." This is akin to expecting Islam to have a reformation wherein it rejects its goal of the domination of humanity for all time.
In a post on X, Barak Ravid, a global affairs correspondent for Axios, shared that he had a phone conversation with Trump, in which Trump said he did “not like” the response from Iran regarding a “draft agreement to end the war.” Trump also reportedly shared with Ravid that he had a “nice conversation” with Netanyahu.

2026 Wedding Dress Trends: From the Bride’s Dream Gown to Mother-of-the-Bride Elegance and Guest Glam
Wedding season 2026 is here, and the runways have spoken: bridal fashion is celebrating sculptural romance, refined luxury, and joyful self-expression. Gone are the days of rigid rules or predictable silhouettes. Instead, designers are blending vintage-inspired details with modern tailoring, luxurious textures, and unexpected pops of personality. Whether you’re the bride saying “I do,” the mother of the bride shining in the front row, or a guest ready to celebrate in style, there’s a trend for every role.
Bridal Gown Trends: Sculptural Drama Meets Ethereal Romance
Brides in 2026 are leaning into gowns that feel like wearable art. Sculptural draping is everywhere—think artful folds, structured pleats, and fabric that cascades with intentional drama rather than fluff. Paired with this is the rise of basque waists (a hybrid of the classic drop waist and structured corsetry), creating a flattering, elongated torso that feels both vintage and fresh.
Lace is having a major moment, but not the flat, traditional kind. Expect elevated lace with 3D florals, corded textures, and shimmering threads that catch the light. Sheer layers, delicate embroidery, and satin shines add dimension, while minimalist brides are loving sleek crepe or silk faille with impeccable tailoring.
Other standout details include:
• Statement necklines and sleeves — Cat-eye shapes, halter styles, and dramatic off-the-shoulder or long, flowing sleeves.
• Corsetry and bows — Exposed boning, front bows, and micro embellishments for a touch of whimsy.
• Subtle shimmer and texture — Sequins, metallic threads, and ethereal tulle for that red-carpet glow without going overboard.
Two-piece separates and bridal midis are also gaining traction for modern, fashion-forward brides who want versatility. These trends offer something for every body type and wedding vibe—from garden romantics to black-tie ballrooms.
Mother of the Bride (and Groom) Trends: Sophisticated, Comfortable, and Photogenic
Mothers are done with “frumpy” expectations. In 2026, MOB and MOG dresses are all about timeless elegance with modern flair. Think polished silhouettes that flatter real bodies—column shapes, refined A-lines, and flowing chiffon that moves beautifully for dancing and photos.
Key trends include:
• Luxurious, wearable fabrics — Crepe, mikado, organza, and chiffon with subtle sheen and texture.
• Elegant details — Halter necklines, one-shoulder styles, capes, ruffles, soft sleeves, and focused embellishments like beads or sequins (never overwhelming).
• Color palettes — Soft neutrals (champagne, taupe, dove gray), muted pastels (sage, dusty blue, blush), rich jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, plum), and even navy or black when styled elegantly. Metallics and soft shimmer add glamour.
Pant suits and chic midis are also popular for mothers who want comfort without sacrificing style. The goal? A look that feels regal, confident, and perfectly coordinated with the wedding’s aesthetic.
Wedding Guest Trends: Expressive, Elevated, and Fun
Guests in 2026 are embracing more-is-more while staying respectful of the couple’s vision.
Standout trends:
• Icy pink and soft pastels — The pastel of the season, perfect for spring and summer weddings.
• Bold prints and florals — Fawn (deer-inspired) motifs, vibrant jacquards, and flowy florals that photograph beautifully.
• Dramatic silhouettes — Drop-waist dresses, capes, statement sleeves, asymmetrical hems, and fluid maxis or jumpsuits.
• Texture and shine — Satin slips, ethereal chiffon, beading, and elevated details that feel special but wearable.
Seasonal color palettes are helping guests coordinate effortlessly: butter yellow and lavender for spring; cobalt blue and fuchsia for summer. Neutrals and metallics work year-round, and expressive prints let personalities shine.
Final Tips for 2026 Wedding Style
• Coordinate thoughtfully — Brides, share your color palette and vibe with your moms and closest guests. Subtle coordination looks intentional, not matchy-matchy.
• Prioritize comfort — All-day events mean movement is key. Test your outfit for dancing, sitting, and photos.
• Personalize it — The best looks feel like you—whether that’s a sleek minimalist gown, a beaded cape, or a bold floral maxi.
2026 weddings are all about celebrating love in style that feels fresh, flattering, and full of joy. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, dabbing tears in the front row, or raising a glass on the dance floor, these trends ensure everyone looks and feels their absolute best.

Here's a sort-of fundamentals question; what caused you to take up shooting as a hobby? Did you start shooting as a kid and that continued as an adult? Did a friend take you to the range and from there you were hooked? Was it a self-defense a consideration? Do you just like guns and shooting?
Thinking about this some more, what aspects appeal to you the most? The challenges such as precision and accuracy? The combination of mechanical skills and art? The camaraderie of other shooters? The smell of gunpowder in the morning?
For me? I just wanted to learn how to shoot and kind of got carried away! OK, a lot carried away. I started competing because I knew that keeping score would track my progress and incentivize me to try my best.
OK, I swear I am not making this up. I just finished writing the above (really!) and checked my email and what do you suppose I found? Why, a note from Sharon(willow's apprentice). How timely!
This summer will be 6 years since I encountered the horde for the first time at the NoVa MoMe. Weasel had suggested JesseinDC give me a ride. Jesse believed all women should learn to shoot. He took me under his wing, introduced me to Stinky's daddy and took me to a range for the first time in my life. I went to Texas and got coached by Steck and Eromero and Weasel and Geoff. I bought a couple of pistols. Met Ed L, Blaster, And Hrothgar so Iris and I pushed and the DMVMGC was born. Last Sunday I picked up my G48 with Holosun sight and shot this target at 7 yds.
Then I picked Sra Blaster's gun and shot this one at 5 yds. It felt amazing. I won't stop practicing fundamentals and I will keep trying to get better but I just wanted to say thank you to those who helped me get here and encourage those of you considering going to a MoMe to Do It! Guaranteed to change your life.

(I may have these pics rotated incorrectly -W)
Thanks SWA!! Nice shooting and glad to hear you're sticking with it.
To all y'all, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and your specific personal reasons for taking up the shooting sports in the comments!

NoVaMoMe 2026
What - you thought there wasn't going to be a NoVaMoMe in 2026?
Note: One of the great joys of NoVAMoMe season, at least for me, is being able to cut and paste the entire block of text below and haranguing you to attend the event. Are you attending? Are you focusing on the fundamentals of attending?
Alright, guys and gals, the long awaited and highly anticipated details of the 2026 NoVAMoMe are here! That's right, I finally got my act together and updated the information page for 2026, and need to go over a few details. First, the date is June 20th, 2026 from 11am to 3pm. Nextly, my bestest blog buddy bluebell and I have decided 2026 will continue the longstanding tradition of NoVAMoMe simplification, and want to pass along the changes from prior years.
First, no registration and no advance charge for food. If you would like to attend, send an email to WeaselBell Productions, and let us know. You will be directed to a sekrit webpage with all of the details. We do ask once you have decided to attend to let us know so we can coordinate an expected count with venue management. Once there if you are hungry or thirsty simply order from the onsite menu and pay separately. Cash and credit cards accepted. Next, although fun, we have decided to again take a break from the raffles and mug sales this year. Depending on how it goes, that may be something we bring back in future years. While your generosity is always appreciated, with no prize table, please leave donations and contributions at home, but bring your appetite for a great afternoon spent with your imaginary online friends.
Next, a NoVAMoMe PSA from our pal bluebell
Hi folks - just a quick PSA. If you write for info about the MoMe, please give us a few words in the body of the email just so I know you are a Moron and not a spammer (moron). I do receive spam on this email account because it's sitting right here in my nic, so that's why I'm asking. I don't want to give our details to a spammer. Also, remember to check your spam folder if you don't receive a reply email.
Thanks.
bluebell
Seriously, just send an email then go to the website with the password provided. If you forget, a link to the email is on the main page, left sidebar. If you do not sign up, bluebell will be disappointed. Weasel will be disappointed, too, but it's bluebell you need to worry about.
AJ Fernandez, one of the giants of current cigar blenders, does collaborations with just about every brand you can think of. As with the rest of his creations, I have yet to find one that doesn't deliver. AJ has done two collaborations with the Cuban legacy brand H. Upmann. I reviewed his first effort a while back - it's among the sticks I'll pick up without hesitation when I come across it in the wild (H. Uppman by AJ Fernandez). Just tried his more recent one - H. Upmann Nicaragua Heritage by AJ Fernandez.
It's a rustic-looking dark brown cigar (I tried the toro, 6 X 54). It has a Brazilian mata fina wrapper, with Brazilian and Nicaraguan fillers. Construction, draw, and smoke volume all very good - burn line did require some management at times. Profile was fuller end of medium-full. Flavors - something medium with a hint of sweetness at the start - coffee or something close, moving into oak, earth and leather from about the mid-point. This one packed a noticeable (though not overwhelming) nicotine punch. While not the flavor profile I usually reach for, a very good cigar that will please most who prefer the earth and dark wood experience. The H. Upmann Nicaragua Heritage by AJ Fernandez is available online for around $10 and up.
Excellent, rhomboid! Thank you very much!!

Here are some different online cigar vendors. You will find they not only carry different brands and different lines from those brands, but also varying selections of vitolas (sizes/shapes) of given lines. It's good to have options, especially if you're looking for a specific cigar.
A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid
Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!
Please note the new and improved protonmail account gunthread at protonmail dot com. An informal Gun Thread archive can be found HERE. Future expansion plans are in the works for the site Weasel Gun Thread. If you have a question you would like to ask Gun Thread Staff offline, just send us a note and we'll do our best to answer. If you care to share the story of your favorite firearm, send a picture with your nic and tell us what you sadly lost in the tragic canoe accident.

That's it for this week - have you been to the range?
Yes...another installment in the never-ending saga of Dildo's Yorkshire Pudding JourneyTM!
Yes, these were...fine. But not impossibly fluffy and tall and ethereal. But I got some advice from a real live Brit last night. We had him for dinner, and he tells me that his father swears by the minimalist technique of using a tiny bit of fat. No more than a bare bit to lubricate the bottom of the vessel.
That goes against every fiber of my being, which is that the more fat the better the food! We shall see if he is correct...so look for the next episode coming soon!

Recently in the comments, somebody pointed out that it is the water in vodka that makes the difference between the various brands. My apologies, but I do not remember which commenter it was, but I think it is a very interesting point. So I made some vodka with Everclear and my wife's favorite bottled water, and did a blind taste test to see whether she could identify it. It wasn't a perfect comparison, because I don't have a graduated cylinder for precise measuring, so I think the Everclear vodka was a bit more alcoholic.
One interesting result was that she did not choose what she thought was her favorite vodka as the winner! She also didn't choose the Everclear vodka made with her preferred water, so more experimentation is needed.

That was served to me on a recent flight. Supposedly it is "filet," although it did not specify what animal's filet, so I am tending toward rat, or maybe racoon.
I am sure that the exact temperature is specified in the instructions to the food techs (I won't call it a recipe, and I won't call them cooks), so that isn't some overdone mistake on the part of the food company. I firmly believe that it was intentional, which suggests the question: Why?
If you are going to kill the food, why not just make something really cheap instead?
******
That is my first attempt at a Mescal cocktail, and it was a success! Mescal, Amaro (I used Aperol), simple syrup, lemon juice, bitters, and an egg white. Shake it all up with ice and pour it in a cocktail glass.
Very good, although I will need to play with the proportions a bit, since I and the other taster thought it was a bit too sweet, masking the tartness of the lemon juice.
******
That is a simple pork Milanese, but with a small twist. I have some cornbread crumbs that I made because I am a cheap bastard and didn't want to throw away the stale cornbread. So I mixed it with regular breadcrumbs to see whether that worked. And it did, but not as well as breadcrumbs alone. I think the cornbread was too sweet. But it was fun to try, and it certainly browned nicely!
******
I'll be in and out, so behave yourselves, and in particular, don't talk about boring food!

The garlic is busily growing, with pretty impressive green shoots that are pushing a foot tall! I even fertilized them! And if they survive the deer and squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.
Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.
The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!
Sigh...we had some heavy drinkers over yesterday for a roast, and the bast*rds drank most of my Guinness!
Why is it that people will gravitate toward that which is in short supply? I have about 40 bottles of Bourbon, but no...they had to knock off the beer first!
Whole milk in our schools? That should be entirely unexceptional, especially since reduced fat milk is a new thing. Children have been drinking whole milk from animals for at least 10,000 years (and probably longer), and in case some people are unaware, infants drink human milk, which is even richer than most cow's milk!
But the food lunatics must have their way, which means they have taken shoddy science (fat makes you fat!), ignored confounding variables, and tried mightily to transform the American diet into a horror-show of low fat, high carbohydrate foods that have made us one of the fattest societies in the world. And of course these maniacs cite that data to claim that whole milk is one of the culprits! Never mind that these same maniacs are part of the destruction of normal childhood behavior like running around at recess, and racing around the neighborhood until dark.
The rule furthers the president’s “commitment to improving childhood nutrition and supporting America’s dairy farmers by ensuring schools and child nutrition providers can once again offer students nutrient-dense dairy options that align with the latest nutrition science and consumer preference,” the USDA said in a May 8 statement.
“Whole milk and other dairy products provide essential nutrients including protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamins A, D, and B12. Whole milk is especially important for young children aged 1 to 10 to support energy needs and brain development.”
Oh, and let us not forget the massive welfare state that many of these same deluded, anti-science zealots created. Pay for poor people's food, but they will have to eat what we say! And that means more of that incredibly destructive diet!
And just for sh*ts and giggles, they throw in the very poorly studied claims that kids who eat a normal diet are getting cardiovascular disease!
In a Sept. 10, 2025, statement, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine called on the MAHA commission to drop whole milk from its recommendations, citing potential cardiovascular health risks to children.
Children are increasingly exhibiting early signs of high cholesterol, heart disease, and other cardiovascular diseases. Allowing full-fat whole dairy in school meals will only result in more such health issues, the committee said.
“Instead of addressing real changes to provide healthier school meals, the MAHA Strategy is pushing whole milk at the expense of children’s health,” Neal Barnard, president of the committee, said.
“The federal government should be putting less saturated fat on school lunch trays, not more, and it can do that by making it easier for students to access nondairy beverages and plant-based entrees.”
Oooh! "Plant-based!" The Holy Grail of the food Nazis! That's the real agenda. No more red meat, then no more whole milk, then no more animal protein, then only insect protein to supplement the "plant-based" crap. It's to save the earth! And the spotted owls! And the children!
Do you hate children?
This is all nothing more than carefully disguised social engineering that is indistinguishable from the manipulations of culture by the communists of the Soviet Union and Red China. They strive to change the essential nature of Man, and whether that is through diet, forcing us into 15 Minute Cities, making sexual characteristics fluid and changeable, destroying our religions, or many other culture-destroying manipulations. And the goal is always the same...the elites will rule us from their lofty perches, and we will wallow in the muck as society decays because of the loss of free will and individuality.
Then want us to be identical cogs in their infernal machine, and every single thing they do is in furtherance of that goal.
Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust.
Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"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%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
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...

@TheBritLad
🚨 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.

@DPJHodges
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.
Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick
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?"
Podcast: Starting a new season, CBD and Sefton discuss their personal journeys to conservative principles, is Nick Shirley the beginning of a trend?, Iran trying to reignite the war, the Left attacks itself, even on "Best Guitarist" lists, and more!
