Iranian Intelligence Chief Who Plotted Trump's Assassination Confirmed Dead Due to Airstrike and Overdose of Amyl Nitrite and Disco Dancing but Mostly the Airstrike
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The homophobes Trump and Netanyahu are murdering one Brown Homosexual after another.

@grok
Yes, verified. Israel's Defense Minister announced that Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib was killed in an overnight airstrike in Tehran. Iranian President Pezeshkian has since confirmed the death, calling it a "cowardly assassination." This is the third senior Iranian official killed in 48 hours per multiple reports (AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters).
So close to Pride Month? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!?!
By the way I don't know this guy was gay. I just assume that everyone in the Iranian leadership is (was) a closet case.
Let's see what Iran's current (for the nonce) President says:

Translated from Persian
The cowardly assassination of my dear colleagues Ismail Khatib, Ali Larijani, and Aziz Nasirzadeh, alongside some of their family members and accompanying team, has left us in deep mourning.
I extend my condolences to the great people of Iran for the martyrdom of two cabinet members, the secretary of the Shura, and the military and Basij commanders. I am certain their path will continue more steadfastly than before.
Sounds tough!
But then... there are reports he is desperate to resign because he doesn't want to be the next to be killed:

There are reports that Iran's President Pezeshkian tried to submit his resignation to the Supreme Leader today, but Mojtaba Khamenei is not available (he is likely dead).
Nobody is in charge of Iran.
The top 200 mullahs and IRGC leaders are dead.
SMOD linked this report. I have no idea how credible it is:
The Iran Watcher 🇮🇷
@TheIranWatcher
🚨 Iran's presidency has collapsed as its own president pleads not to be assassinated.
Masoud Pezeshkian is telling foreign counterparts he has no authority, no access to leadership, and no control over the system, effectively disavowing responsibility as the regime fractures from within.
According to Persian Gulf sources, he informed officials across the region, as well as Russia and Turkey, that the constitutional leadership structure has broken down and he is completely cut off from it, stressing there is no justification for targeting him.
Pezeshkian is trying to save his own life as the regime crumbles, a clear sign the Islamic Republic is losing control.
Yesterday a commenter reported that Iranian civilians were passing intel to Israel via Starlink, telling them where Basij troops were on the streets, so that they could be targeted for airstrikes.
Iranian civilians sent Israel intel to strike Basij checkpoints in Tehran - WSJ
The Wall Street Journal reported that Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts.
Israel has been relying in part on target information sent by ordinary Iranians for strikes carried out during the current war with Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The report said this was the case on Wednesday night, when an Israeli Hermes UAV struck Basij checkpoints in Tehran, citing a senior Israeli security official.
The official said Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts. According to the report, the information is first verified and vetted by Israeli authorities, and action is taken only after it is found to be accurate.
Iranian state media reported on Wednesday evening that Israeli drones targeted checkpoints in Tehran, killing several members of Iran's security forces, including some affiliated with the Basij militia. Separate reports said several regime security personnel and Basij members were killed in the strikes.

If confirmed, the reported use of civilian-supplied intelligence would point to an additional layer in Israel's targeting apparatus inside Iran.
Thanks to Michael the Texan for that link.
Meanwhile, beckster sends this report:
Thought this was interesting, from Amit Segal's daily Substack Noon In Israel:
---------------------------
Meanwhile, Israel is calling mid- and low-level commanders, threatening them and their families if they don't stand aside in the event of an uprising.
One conversation is worth recounting.
"Can you hear me?" a Mossad agent can be heard, speaking in Farsi. "We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you."
"OK," the commander said in the recording.
"I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people's side," the Mossad agent said. "And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader. Do you hear me?"
"Brother, I swear on the Quran, I'm not your enemy," the commander said. "I'm a dead man already. Just please come help us."

Lefty Influencer, TikTok Revolutionary, and AOC-Style "Palestinian-American" Kat Aboogabooga Suffers Humiliating Loss in Illinois Democrat Congressional Primary
—Disinformation Expert Ace
You may not have heard of Kat Aboogabooga, aka "Kat Abughazaleh." She is one of the new breed of post-AOC Pro-Invasionary Democrat Socialist, the type that no longer hides her desire for authoritarian Soviet communism or simple hatred of America, Christians, and white people, but announces it straight up and then pauses for applause with a gum-smacking grin.
She ran to be the Democrat nominee for an Illinois congressional seat. She #MeToo'd her opponent, who had been a professor who had once dated a student.
Progressive influencer Kat Abughazaleh's bid for election to Congress failed Tuesday after Democratic primary voters opted for Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss.
Biss' victory came only hours after his campaign confirmed the mayor had a relationship with a former student while working as a professor at the University of Chicago in 2004.
Abughazaleh, who formerly worked for left-wing organization Media Matters in conducting opposition research against conservative outlets, was one of 15 Democrats jockeying to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) in the Land of Lincoln's 9th District, which covers parts of Chicago and its northwestern suburbs.
The 26-year-old also known as Kat Abu achieved minor online infamy for a series of stunts -- including getting herself arrested and charged with conspiracy to impede Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicles during a September 2025 demonstration in Broadview, Ill.
She received about 26% of the vote compared to Biss' 30% support when the Associated Press called the race just after 10:35 p.m. ET.
But still, when a radical communist loses to a guy smeared as a #MeToo Child Molester, well, maybe AOC-style Socialism of Stupidity isn't the winning way after all.
Oh, she's a flake, too. She blew off a campaign event and blamed... narcolepsy.
Mary Katharine Ham
@mkhammer
I hardly know anything about this race (except Kat used narcolepsy in a hilariously overwrought Gen-Z statement as an excuse for skipping an event), but I'm glad Bliss won if only so it sends this signal that this kind of fake MeToo-ing doesn't work and is then disincentivized.
Oh, and this terrorist bitch just got indicted by the feds for assaulting ICE officers so the gum-smacking grinning idiot may be going to prison, too.
While she and her antifa pals blocked an ICE vehicle from moving and pounded on the hood and windows, she allegedly scratched the word "PIG" into the SUV's paint.
Kat Abughazaleh - who cheered on the prosecution of a man for allegedly obstructing access to an abortion clinic - has now been federally indicted for obstructing a law enforcement officer in the performance of his duties https://t.co/GRi1froQVp
🚨 LMFAO! Democrat candidate Kat Abughazaleh — who got body slammed by federal agents when she tried obstructing ICE — just BRUTALLY LOST her primary election for Congress in Illinois
Below, she rage-quits an interview with leftwing simp Tara Palameri. She was angry that anyone is asking her about her indictment for assaulting ICE agents.
Hello everyone. It is Humpday, a concept that comes originally from the Spanish, who called it El Día de la Joroba.
One of the hallmarks earmarks of entitled, aristocratic rule is the great and powerful exemption. The rulers impose - as the name implies - rules, but the rules do not apply to the rulers themselves. Rules are for the subjects, not the rulers. The rulers get the authority to make and enforce rules, and - thanks to their royal prerogatives, Party privileges or whatever nomenclature is popular in the style of the time - get to ignore them.
The notion of "rule of apply" does not exist to Party Men or other aristocrats. They live by exemption, as is fitting their stations. They used to at least pretend that this is not how it worked, but the mask is slipping off. While in the old days, they would pass laws and then ignore them without consequence, that is old-fashioned. The new way is to formally exempt themselves, like it was in the good old days when kings reigned and peasants served. The only thing that can stop them is a modicum of shame from within their own clique.
So it was in Virginia. Since the Democrats took over in January, Virginia has been passing new gun control laws. There is HB-217, which bans "assault weapons" and magazines over 15 rounds. This one has plenty of exemptions, mostly for cops and soldiers and some grandfather clauses. Another bill, however, was different and got much less publicity. That one had a straight-up exemption for Virginia's new rulers. That was HB-110.
HB-110 is a bill that imposes new penalties on leaving guns in cars. When the bill was introduced by the Virginia House, it was fairly simple:
No person shall leave, place, or store any handgun, as defined in § 18.2-307.1, in any unattended motor vehicle when such handgun is visible to any person who is outside such unattended motor vehicle
The bill itself was half a page long and contained only four points. One defined what an "unattended motor vehicle" is, the second is quoted above, the third describes the penalty for violation ($500) and the fourth declared that any vehicle association with a violation of the new law is legally considered to be "illegally parked" and subject to tow. That's it. Start to finish, it was 23 lines long including preamble.
Good law or bad, it was at least simple and internally consistent. Then the amendments got underway. After a couple of months had passed, the bill quadrupled in length. They added boats to the definition of "motor vehicle." They added differing rules for requirements that any handgun left in a vehicle must not only be "out of sight" as it was in the original bill, but also locked in a rigid box. They added exemptions, of course, for cops and the like - including off-duty and retired cops. But there was another very special exemption slipped in through the amendment process:
The provisions of this section shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly who leaves a handgun in an unattended motor vehicle pursuant to § 18.2-308.7:1 when such vehicle is parked in any parking structure reserved for members of the General Assembly under § 2.2-1172.
Ah, how nice for them. They get to bring their guns to work and leave them in the car when they park - but you can't. They're better than you, you see. They're Assemblymen. They simply can't abide by the rules they lay down for mere peasants. It wouldn't be right.
The only thing that stopped them was a Senator. In that chamber, senator Richard Stuart - a Republican, took them to task for this carve-out. He was somewhat successful. While the Virginia Senate did eventually pass a version of the bill along party lines, it was much more similar to the original House bill. The Senate version is fairly similar to the original House version, with some changes. Most of the additions were removed, including the special exemption for Virginia's munificent and honorable leaders. The House then passed it largely along party lines.
The special exemption for Virginia Assemblymen failed, but that the House thought it appropriate is telling. That the only reason that exemption wasn't in the final bill likely comes down a Senator dressing them down in a public forum for considering it is hardly comforting. This is not a shining example of the system working. This is a shining example of the arrogance and entitlement of a ruling class with unmasked and unbridled contempt for those they consider to be their subjects.
It took a while, but royalty and aristocracy are thoroughly back in fashion.
Residents across Northeast Ohio got a shock the morning of St. Patrick's Day. A bright fireball streaked across the sky around 9:00 a.m., visible in multiple states before a loud boom rattled homes from Cleveland into parts of Pennsylvania and New York. Windows shook, phones lit up, and, for a moment, people wondered if something far more serious had happened. The object started as a small asteroid about six feet wide, weighing close to seven tons, and entered Earth's atmosphere at more than 40,000 miles per hour. The fireball first became visible about 50 miles above Lake Erie near Lorain, traveling roughly 34 miles before breaking apart about 30 miles above Valley City in Medina County. The breakup produced the flash and the shockwave people felt on the ground. . . The energy released reached about 250 tons of TNT, which sounds large until you place it next to a historical benchmark.
The Tunguska blast in Siberia in 1908 released between 10 and 15 megatons of energy. The difference isn't small: Tunguska was tens of thousands of times more powerful and flattened more than 800 square miles of forest. . .
. . . The fireball over Ohio didn't bring destruction, but it offered a clear reminder of what moves through space every day. A slightly larger object, a lower breakup point, or a different angle could've changed the story. Cleveland heard the boom and felt the shake, then went back to their day.
That outcome wasn't guaranteed. It was luck.
Depending upon how one considers what we here at the HQ refer to as the SMOD, the Sweet Meteor of Death, the aforementioned luck was either good or bad. In any case, wow. Forget about mining asteroids, if some egghead out there wanted to make a fast buck, figure out a way to weaponize asteroids to bring them down on Red China, Iran, Russia or whoever and then con the War Dept. or Sandia to give you a few hundred million to develop a prototype. It'd be the perfect cover for a first strike on an enemy that left no evidence.
Like the National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent whose letter of resignation was a transparent attack on President Trump and his almost total evisceration of the globalist America last/never foreign policy of Foggy Bottom/Langley et al.
99% of the time when a local politician goes national, turns out to be a squish or a quisling, there were warnings locally. And most of the time people at the national level didn’t pay attention. I remember trying to break through the social media bubble of everyone who enjoyed Chris Christie’s viral video takedowns to get out the message that he was a fraud, that he had actually implemented every liberal policy and was an Islamic apologist. For many people it didn’t sink in until that hurricane photo with Obama. For others it didn’t sink in until he stabbed Trump in the back. . . he got the counterterrorism job as some sort of consolation prize for losing elections.
But there were warnings that Joe Kent was not what he seemed to be when he first ran for office. Ex-CIAers who run for office should be treated with extra scrutiny. And Kent scrambled to explain why he was a registered Democrat who had voted for Bernie Sanders. His explanation that he was trying to help Trump win and sabotage Dems was fishy. . .
. . . Anyone talking about an alliance between the Left and the Right, dismissing MAGA and America First, is out to take down America. This is exactly what we used to call RINOs before they got smart and started trying to disguise themselves as MAGA. But in the end, they always out themselves. Kent sure did.
Long before this happened, we should have listened to the local conservatives.
Susan Rice, who played leading roles in the Obama and Biden administrations, has broken a Washington code of silence by threatening that anyone who plays ball with the Trump administration will suffer payback the next time Democrats take control.
‘When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, it’s not going to end well for them.’ ” she said on a podcast.
“They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,” Rice added. She is no stranger to dirty tricks, having been involved in the Obama administration’s spying on Trump’s 2016 White House campaign. As such, her threat marks yet another example of how the left preaches one thing and practices the opposite. It blames Trump for destroying historic norms despite how the last two Dem presidents abused their power for nakedly partisan purposes.
Meh, forget the IRGC, the greater threat to America comes from the DNC. Meh, this is nothing new. We've seen this tyranny before, with every shampeachment and every single time a rogue hack-in-black issues an injunction against this President's constitutional executive branch authority. It's all well and good to root for the freedom of the Persian people and the long suffering Cubans, but unless and until the cancer of Susan Rice and her ilk are excised from our society, it won't be long before we too go the way of Iran circa 1979 and Cuba 1959.
Have a great Day!

Trump isn’t compelled to end the Iran war on terms less favorable than he deems desirable. Why should he? Defining Victory Over Iran
For anyone who questions whether Israel and the United States should have attacked Iran, I suggest looking at the Iranian behavior with clarity, not with emotions.

They have attacked Israel with no intent other than to harm and kill civilians. This is the definition of an evil regime. Iran Shows That It Is Truly Evil and Must Be Stopped

THE 2020 and SUBSEQUENT ELECTION HEISTS , SHENANIGANS/FRAUD and AFTERMATH
I think that the biggest proof that election fraud is a huge, ongoing issue is in the Democrats' insistence that it is nonexistent or extremely rare. Anyone truly concerned with election integrity would at least allow for the possibility that it is — or could be — a serious problem that should be safeguarded against. If Democrats were saying something like, "Look, we want secure and transparent elections too, we just don't agree with the kinds of protections that you want," I might think that they weren't complete fraudsters. Instead, their position is essentially, "Move along...nothing to see here!" They're like kids who just broke a lamp in the other room and are trying to keep their parents from going in there to see it by pretending that there never was a lamp. It's Always Been Telling That Dems Won't Even Acknowledge the Possibility of Election Fraud
The Save America Act would require proof of citizenship and an ID to register to vote or to vote in federal elections, which ought not to be controversial at all but which made RINOs like John Thune and Thomas Massie dither with anxiety and which absolutely enraged Democrats.

Top o' the evening to ya! Welcome to the Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day 2026 ONT. Did you celebrate the day? Still doing so? Tell us all about it! Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?
What are ya drinkin' today, lads and lassies? Want something other than green beer or Guinness (or my preferred Irish stout - Murphy's)? The ONT has you covered!
St. Patrick's Day is all about the booze. So why not make a cocktail that will be sure to impress? Even if you're avoiding the bar crawl (we totally get it), you can still have a little fun with your drinks at home. This holiday is all about the drinks, so don’t let it pass by without jazzing up what you’re imbibing (even if it's just adding a little green to your beer). Lucky you, we’ve got everything from bright green cocktails to boozy milkshakes. Check out the list of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day drinks to get some inspiration (and likely feel the luck of the Irish as well). And who knows, you just might find a pot of gold (or a Gold Rush cocktail) at the end of the rainbow!
Check out the link and let us know which one is yer favorite!
Running all the way from Canada to the northern section of New Mexico, the Rocky Mountains support a vast array of ecosystems from deserts to prairies to cold alpine slopes. The most common species you'll find here are the prairie rattlesnake and western rattlesnake. Towards the New Mexico region, you might also find the large Western diamondback rattlesnake, or the small mottled rock rattlesnake, or the massausaga rattlesnake in southeastern Colorado.
These rattlesnakes play a key role in their ecosystems by keeping certain pest populations like mice under control and preventing prairie dogs from overpopulating the land. In the vast majority of cases, these snakes will ignore humans or use their rattles to warn humans to stay away. However, if a person ignores these warnings or accidentally steps on them, it can lead to a bad bite. If left untreated, many of these rattlesnakes are capable of killing a human with their venom. The best way to prevent this from happening is simply being aware of where you might encounter rattlesnakes. Here are 5 of the most rattlesnake-infested areas in the Rockies to be on the lookout for them.

Remember those guys? The band LIVE was formed in the late 80s (originally known as Public Affection) in York, PA. I saw them more times than I can count back in the 90s - they played a lot in the Baltimore / DC area. Still enjoy their music. You may remember their breakthrough hit "Lightning Crashes" for their outstanding album THROWING COPPER. Anyway, they're still around. Well, a semblance of the band is still around. Vocalist Ed Kowalczyk is the only original member with them. Legal drama engulfed the band over the years.

Members of Antifa have threatened violence and accused the wife of a judge of being a fan of "white supremacist" Charlie Kirk in the wake of nine members of the militant far-left group being found guilty of various charges, including terrorism-related charges, on Friday.
In the wake of Kirk's September killing during a Utah campus stop, US District Judge Mark Pittman's wife wrote, "Keep spreading the Good news, Bishop. The world needs it more than ever. Come, Lord Jesus, Come!" An Antifa member screenshotted her Facebook post and posted it to X, writing that Pittman's wife "is a big fan of white supremacist Charlie Kirk."
Evidence of that? She said it was sad that an innocent man had been shot in the throat in front of his children.
So, you know: White supremacist.
Nine total members of a North Texas Antifa cell were convicted on various charges on Friday for an attack on a Texas ICE detention facility in July in which an officer was shot. Eight of the nine defendants were found guilty of providing material support to terrorists. Additional charges the defendants were found guilty of include rioting, use of an explosive device, and attempted murder.

I saw Chris Murphy crying about some of these rogue FBI agents who got fired, claiming that they were key "counter-terrorism" agents and their firing might have caused the four (4!) Muslim terrorist attacks in the last two weeks.
Well explain this to me then, Chris: If they were so critical to hunting down terrorists, why were they considered superfluous enough that they could be detailed to searching Melania Trump's underwear drawers?
I tend to think it's fake just because, well, they'd shoot you for that. They're shooting machine guns blindly into people's apartments just for singing and dancing.

🚨#BREAKING: North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis COMPLETELY MISSED THE VOTE on the motion to move forward the SAVE Act.
All of the left is mourning the passing of Austere Religious Scholar Ali Larijani. They are all working from the script provided to them by, I assume, Iran Echo Chamber conductor Ben Rhodes -- this man who ordered the massacre of 30-40,000 Iranians last month alone was "a moderate" who you could "do business with" and now that he's dead, Trump has no "off-ramp" from his disastrous war which he's totally losing.
Like clockwork, BBC airs a glowing eulogy of Ali Larijani.
Larijani oversaw the massacre of tens of thousands of Free Iran protesters just two months ago.

I don't know what the ratings are for Congressional Republicans. I looked. I did not find. Sometimes they tease out the results of a poll over several days.
Even if the ratings for Republicans are also low -- and I'm sure they are -- it is still news that Democrats are facing record lows, in a year that they're supposedly going to sweep into power.

Me-Again Kelly Demands to Know Why Online Influencers Aren't Defending Her Against Mark Levin's "Disgusting" Attacks
—Disinformation Expert Ace
If that sounds insane to you, that means you're paying attention.
Cavernous Nostrils has been smearing Erika Kirk since a week after his murder, claiming that she was "covering up" for The Real Killers, who she has alleged at various times to be Israelis, Mormon Bee Cultists, French Intelligence, Egyptian Planes, US military personnel, etc.
Lately Cavernous Nostrils has changed her attacks on Erika Kirk, now claiming she was associates with Jeffrey Epstein and groomed children for sex trafficking.
When Me-Again Kelly was asked to say something about this absolute demonic horrorshow, Me-Again responded: "I'm not the mom of the internet.'
But she thinks it's "disgusting" that Mark Levin routinely calls her "Granny Groyper" --like many women, and many men too (guilty!) she does not like it being noted that she is old enough to be a grandparent -- she has been demanding that various online personalities condemn Levin for "stalking" her.
Here's just one example of Me-Again -- who, I repeat, said it was none of her business if Candace Owens accused Erika Kirk of arranging for her husband's murder because she's not "the mom of the internet" -- demanding that men gather 'round her to protect her from Levin's "disgusting" attacks:
The widowed now-single mother Erika Kirk can fend for herself, but Me-Again demands her Simps form a Protective Simp Circle around her!
Aɴᴛ
@AntSpeaks
It's extraordinary how Megyn is now asking everyone around her why they didn't speak up when Mark Levin supposedly attacked her.
The same woman who has made a conscious effort to ignore all the insults and accusations Candace has made against Erika Kirk over the last six months.
She even went so far as to claim she had gotten close to Candace and supported her in "questioning Israel."
I use this comparison a lot, but it's nevertheless accurate.. Megyn is a prime example of a stupid person who desperately believes they're smart. She was convinced she had outwitted everyone, that she was in the right, and that most would side with her. Now it's come back to bite her in the ass.
If you remember the show: Cersei allowed the High Sparrow to imprison and torture Queen Margery, because Cersei was afraid, due to a prophecy, that she was fated to be "displaced by another queen, younger and more beautiful."
Does that explain Me-Again's hatred of Erika Kirk? Could be!
(And Cersei was also revealed to have been both stupid and emotionally fragile all along -- she just seemed to be smart and confident because she kept her face frozen in an inscrutable mask.)
One of the most extraordinary shows of inauthenticity I've ever seen was back when Me-Again discovered that it would spike her traffic if she filled her podcast with four-letter words. This was like two years ago. First she said "bullshit" a couple of times and when she got clicks for that, everything was "fuck you" and "go fuck yourself."
No really -- she has repeatedly told her critics "go fuck yourself" if you think I should criticize Cavernous Nostrils.
She looked like a five year old who just learned how to say cursewords. She looked so pleased with herself!
(And Me-Again keeps lying, claiming people just want her to criticize Cavernous Nostrils for her Black Nazi takes on the Jews, while pretending she's unaware that the real complaint is the DAILY attacks on a grieving widow as a murderers and lesbian sex trafficker.)
She's continuing to be a Follower, following "men" she identifies as the Strong Alpha Men and repeating whatever they say. First she followed Roger Ailes, then she followed Brit Hume, then she followed Chris Wallace -- remember her disgraceful bit as Chris Wallace's attack dog at the Republican debate? -- and now she's following Tuq'r Qarlson.
Well, Tuq'r Qarlson and Piers Morgan, two BBWs with big soft bellies and low-hanging tits, both just attacked Ben Shapiro for being short. I'm told he's 5'9", which is an inch below average.
So Me-Again the follower followed, and attacked Mark Levin for having a "micropenis."
Megyn Kelly
@megynkelly
Micropenis Mark @marklevinshow thinks he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I've had arrested. He doesn't like it when women like me fight back. Bc of his micropenis.
She means that Levin says she's a 14-year-old mean girl trapped in the botoxed body of a 55-year-old woman. And that she's a Nazi.
As she did when she first learned to curse, she then went on to say "micropenis, micropenis, micropenis" over and over again, to show how Young and Brat she is.
Here's the "disgusting" and "lewd" attack that provoked Me-Again into devolving back into her 14-year-old mean girl self. Does this sound "lewd" or "disgusting" to you?
Micropenis Mark @marklevinshow thinks he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I’ve had arrested. He doesn’t like it when women like me fight back. Bc of his micropenis. https://t.co/7cl3Efc3N7
Seems like pretty standard internet invective to me.
But note she plays the How Dare You Insult a Woman Card, as we've seen her play so many times before.
Is Me-Again really the right person to be judging how well-endowed other people are?
I don't think so.
I do question whether Me-Again, who is flatter than Rachel Corrie after an all-Ozempic diet, is really the person qualified to judge how well-endowed people are.
Hey Thimble-Tits, when you can fill a training bra without needing a wad of toilet paper, get back to us.
I dunno. She's weighing in on men's equipment, but meanwhile she's rocking an A Minus cup filled with nothing but ribs and gristle. It's like ordering a two piece from Popeye's and getting two backs. Not what I was looking for, Popeye's!
Now that was a lewd and disgusting personal attack.
But this is where she herself took the dispute.
Trump actually defended his former enemy Mark Levin:
But really, Trump did post about the feud and say that while Levin was in fact MAGA, Me-Again Kelly and Tuq'r Qarlson -- who are not named but strongly hinted at -- are not MAGA.
Me-Again has reinvented herself more times than Madonna and Cher and has a couple more transformations left in her. She's not quite sixty yet. https://t.co/ivEpNWW5C6
The IDF confirms killing Basij paramilitary force commander Gholamreza Soleimani in a strike in Iran overnight.
Soleimani was targeted while at a tent camp that was recently established by the Basij. According to the IDF, the Basij set up the camp after the military struck many of the headquarters of the paramilitary force.
In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.

The IDF confirms killing Basij paramilitary force commander Gholamreza Soleimani in a strike in Iran overnight.
Soleimani was targeted while at a tent camp that was recently established by the Basij. According to the IDF, the Basij set up the camp after the military struck many of the headquarters of the paramilitary force.
In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.
The Basij is known for its role in violently suppressing anti-regime protests, and is believed to be responsible for countless deaths of Iranian civilians.
Meanwhile, top Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Akram al-Ajouri and other top officials in the terror group were targeted by the IDF in a strike on Wednesday, according to the military. The military believes al-Ajouri was likely killed in the strike, but says it is still working to confirm this.
IRGC commanders are also deployed in southern Lebanon to direct Iran's proxy army Hezballah.
As America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Nur would say, some people hit some buildings.
🚨 IRGC commanders booked 15 hotel rooms thinking they were safe, they weren’t.
Four IRGC commanders in Lebanon used multiple identities, reserved 15 rooms, then gathered in a single room and even disabled all hotel cameras.
Illegal Alien 19-Year-Old High School Student Keeps Groping Girls As Young as Thirteen,Between the Legs "Front to Back"; Fairfax County School District Has Covered It Up a Year and Won't Expel Him
—Disinformation Expert Ace
This 19 year old high school student -- anyone want to take the under on that alleged age? Because I'll take the over -- is a junior.
I'll give you a second to recover from your shock at learning that.

@MattWhitlock
Absolutely radicalizing story.
A 19-year-old illegal enrolled as a junior at Fairfax High has been sexually assaulting students as young as 13 ALL YEAR. Fairfax covered it up despite 12 reports from girls.
Fairfax want to release him AND they won't allow him to be deported.
They just want to "breathe" and live freely and rape your pre-teen daughters. Is that so wrong?

🚨New: Fairfax County parents tell me their girls were groped in between their legs front to back during school by an adult male student who happens to be an illegal immigrant and that this has been happening the entire school year.
Parents are livid at Fairfax County Public Schools.
Today, Steve Descano's prosecutor Jenna Sands agreed to release the suspect from jail. The judge said no.
ICE lodged a detainer. ICE says Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid isn't honoring their detainer.
Descano is the Soros prosecutor who routinely drops all charges on dangerous violent criminals, especially if they're from a Protected Race.

But now back to the newest illegal alien monster he's refusing to charge and refusing to render over to ICE:
Yet another 27 year old illegal alien "high school teen." Thank Biden/Harris and the communist democrat party for visiting this never-ending plague of grifters, rapists and murderers upon us.https://t.co/MzDgZG0I1Ppic.twitter.com/AA5NsJ5JR8
🚨FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA: Israel Christopher Flores-Ortiz, a 19-year-old ILLEGAL ALIEN from El Salvador, has been arrested for assault and battery against MULTIPLE high school girls while enrolled in a local high school.
They just keep covering it up like neighboring Loudoun school district covered up the transgender rapist. Their Protected Rapists have carte blanche to rape your children.
An adult Fairfax High School student has been charged with nine counts of assault and battery amid accusations that he was groping girls in the halls during school.
7News Reporter Nick Minock was the first to break this story and spoke exclusively with the victims' parents.
"There's a group of about 12 individuals that have reported this assault," one mother told 7News. "It was all perpetrated by a single individual who is a stranger to the girls. He just sneakily walked up behind them and put his hand in between their legs. It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab. It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months."
Israel Flores Ortiz is almost 19 years old, and he's in the 11th grade at Fairfax High School.
On Friday, Judge Dipti Pidikiti-Smith denied Ortiz's request to be released from jail, even after Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano's office agreed to Ortiz's bail request. The judge said the proposed bail request didn't properly protect the public.
About a dozen girls have come forward to report that Ortiz put his hands in between their legs, grabbed their private parts in the front, and moved his hands to their butts while in the school's hallways.
"What do you think about your experience so far with the school system handling this situation?" Minock asked two of the mothers, who agreed to speak on camera.
"Abysmal, abysmal," one mother told 7News. "I think from the very beginning, Fairfax County has attempted to diminish what happened to these girls."
Parents of several of the girls tell 7News they are furious with Fairfax County Public Schools.
"They have attempted to sweep it under the rug," one mother said, "They sent out a letter last night."
"After we demanded it, multiple parents demanded that there be a letter before we got it," one of the mothers exclaimed.
"But it was a completely sanitized letter," the first mother continued.
This being Fairfax, Virginia, where illegal alien savages are not only permitted but encouraged to rape American citizens, the girls who reported this monster are now being bullied by the children of leftwing Kamala voting parents.
The parents told 7News FCPS' description of what happened has caused bullying.
"The girls have experienced harassment and bullying from peers at school, including people that they once thought were their friends, and the letter that they sent out, referencing it only as buttocks touching, just adds fuel to rumors that they were just attention seeking," one mother told 7News.
...
7News asked FCPS if they will allow Ortiz to come back to school, and why FCPS didn't address his alleged behavior sooner if it was happening all school year?
...
7News has also now learned Ortiz is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who crossed the southern border in 2024 and was released under federal government policy at that time.
Immediately after his arrest last week, ICE issued a detainer for Ortiz in order to deport him, but ICE told Nick that the Fairfax County Sheriff is not honoring that detainer.
"Unfortunately, sanctuary politicians like Gov. (Abigail) Spanberger are outlawing cooperation with ICE and choosing to RELEASE criminal illegal aliens from their jails back onto their communities to create more American victims," an ICE spokesperson told 7News. "We are calling on Fairfax County to honor our detainer to ensure this violent criminal is removed from our country so he can never claim another victim again."
Even if Ortiz is convicted, he likely wouldn't spend much time behind bars.
That's because the Soros prosecutor refuses to charge this as sexual battery -- only simple battery (and only because his preferred strategy of just letting this monster continue to grab 13 year old girls by the genitals caused too much heat).
"Libertad, libertad," shouted hundreds of demonstrators as they faced off against police outside the precinct in Morón, a city of about 70,000 near Cuba's northeastern coast. Protesters then marched to the offices of the ruling Communist Party, according to the Cuban government and videos posted on social media.
Residents threw rocks at the building and tried to set it ablaze. Others climbed on the building's second story and threw papers and furniture into the street, which they then set on fire. At the time of the protest, Morón hadn't had any electricity for 30 hours...
Alberto Echemendía, the head of the Communist Party in Morón, held a rally of "revolutionary reaffirmation" in front of the ransacked party headquarters. "We live in complicated times," he told El Invasor, a regional official newspaper, blaming U.S. economic sanctions for the riots.
This is exciting. Freedom is beginning to breath in Cuba. Eighth consecutive night of protests, but it has already begun to be massive. All of the city of Ciego de Avila is in the streets. The city united against the dictatorship.

Iran's De Facto Supreme Leader Ali Larijani Dies of Complications Due to Mojtaba Khamenei's AIDS and an Israeli Airstrike But Mostly Complications Due to Mojtaba Khamenei's AIDS
Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was considered one of the most veteran and senior figures within the Iranian regime leadership and was a close associate of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
During the most recent wave of protests in Iran, Larijani employed violent enforcement measures and repression operations, personally overseeing the massacre against Iranians protesting the regime.
After Khamenei was killed in the opening strikes of the war over two weeks ago, Larijani consolidated his status as the de facto leader of the Iranian regime and led the combat efforts against the State of Israel and countries across the region.
Reports say that even before Khamenei was killed, Larijani had been put in charge of all of Iran's day-to-day management.
He delivered a defiant message on state television after the U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Khamenei, warning that Iran would make its enemies "regret" their actions and promising a forceful response.
That forceful response? Dying like a cigarette crushed under a boot.
Trump is reportedly very angry at the Europeans for refusing to help keep the Strait of America open -- and keeping their own oil flowing.
The US doesn't depend on the Strait of America. Europe does.
And they're refusing to send ships to keep it clear.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called out NATO for making a "very foolish mistake" by not helping the U.S. with the Iran operation, though he added "we don't need them."
Trump made the comments when answering questions from reporters during a meeting with the Taoiseach of Ireland in the Oval Office at the White House.
"I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake," Trump said when a reporter asked about getting America's allies to assist the U.S. in escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. "And I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us."
Trump added: "So this is a this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should have been there."
Warmongering homosexual homonculous Lindsey Graham ranted emotionally as usual, but he's not wrong.

@LindseyGrahamSC
Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies' unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what's at stake.
...
The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America.
I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.
It's time to end NATO. There is no reciprocal advantage to the US -- it's just a blank-check commitment to continue supporting this dying-but-Islamizing continent with no counter-commitments flowing back to us.
They have no capacity or desire to defend themselves, let alone provide any kind of defense for us.

Gavin Newsom is a creation of the media and of the dynastic California political families that run the state along with the lunatic leftists who are their storm troopers.
He is, frankly, dumber than a rock, and as he ages he looks more and more like a middle-aged lesbian trying to pass as a soccer mom. His media consultants seem to be equally stupid, since any 12-year-old could tell them that he looks like an effete, effeminate ass with his tight jeans and tightly crossed legs. And his neck seems to be stretching also, perhaps because of the face lifts? Or maybe that is a side effect of years of BrylCreem use?
He is obviously trying to position himself as the de facto Democrat Presidential nominee for the 2028 election, and he is gleefully embracing the tax-the-rich mantra that the Democrats can't seem to shake. But Newsom is doubling down on that tired old parasitic talking point, and actually claiming that contrary to all data, California is a better tax state!
How he does it is an exercise in rank stupidity and ignorance, both of the speaker and the audience. Why his rapt and captive listeners don't laugh him off the stage is a testament to the idiocy of the rank-and-file left.
The California tax scheme is indeed progressive, and the Texas and Florida schemes are indeed regressive, but those are technical terms that do not reflect the reality, which is that the total tax burden of everyone in California: rich, middle class, or poor, is higher than that of Texas and Florida residents. And by a lot!
And it's not just high gas taxes and sales taxes; California has an income tax, unlike Florida and Texas, so the more its residents work and make, the more they are taxed. It tops out at an unbelievable 13.3%, plus -- I'm not making this up -- a 1% "Mental Health Services" tax. And it is onerous not just on well-off people who make more than $1,000,000/year. It is an insulting 9.3% marginal rate on income over about $75,000! That's not wealthy. That is scraping by in many parts of California, with $5 gasoline and outrageously expensive electricity (more than 50% higher than average).
Hopefully the Republican nominee in 2028 will "pounce" on this inconvenient, economy-destroying rate and eviscerate Governor Brylcreem for this and many other anti-freedom and anti-growth policies that he embraces like the unrepentant economic and social leftist that he is.

In 1990, Schumer co-sponsored a diversity visa program that offered green cards to 50,000 applicants annually via a lottery system. . . One noteworthy winner of this lottery program in 2010 was Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, a Muslim immigrant and ISIS supporter from Uzbekistan. Seven years later — on October 31, 2017 — Saipov used a rental truck to mow down and kill eight people (and injure at least twelve others) in a busy New York City bike path as an act of jihad. . .
Keep that in abeyance for a moment and cut to 2009
“[I]llegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. When we use phrases like ‘undocumented workers,’ we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the United States legally. Any immigration solution must recognize that we must do as much as we can to gain operational control of our borders as soon as possible.”
. . . In April 2012, Schumer introduced a bill designed to eliminate laws like SB 1070, an Arizona statute deputizing state police to check with federal authorities on the immigration status of criminal suspects. The senator charged that such laws would inevitably result in “untrained officers … arresting anyone and everyone who might fit the preconceived profile of an illegal immigrant.”
In 2013 Schumer led the so-called “Gang of Eight”—four Democrat and four Republican U.S. senators—in the push to pass a sweeping, 844-page immigration-reform bill aimed at giving provisional legal status to at least 11 million illegal immigrants and placing them on a path-to-citizenship. The other Democrats on the panel were Michael Bennet, Richard Durbin, and Robert Menendez. A Politico.com analysis noted that their proposal, if passed, “would transform the nation’s political landscape” by “pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that … would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily.”
When Republicans in Congress failed to support the Gang of Eight’s proposal in sufficient numbers to pass it, Schumer blamed that failure on the racism of “Tea Party elites” who, he said, opposed amnesty because they did not want want America to become “less white.” “Yes, things have changed,” Schumer elaborated. “White Anglo-Saxon men are not exclusively running the country anymore…. In a pre-Tea Party world, the Senate immigration bill would have been welcomed by House Republicans,. However, the Tea Party rank-and-file know it’s a different America. It looks different; it prays different; it works different. This is unsettling and angering to some.”
In February 2014, Schumer said that Congress should make amnesty available to all immigrants who had come to the U.S. illegally as recently as December 31, 2013. When some Republican lawmakers expressed reluctance to pass an immigration bill because they simply did not trust that President Obama would enforce it, Schumer said: “There’s a simple solution. Let’s enact the law this year, but simply not let it actually start until 2017, after President Obama’s term is over.”
. . Schumer proceeded to call on Trump to close down his Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which was investigating how to best deal with voter fraud. “[W]hat troubles so many Americans every bit as much as the president’s shocking response to this national tragedy is the methodical and pernicious way in which his administration is promoting discrimination, both subtle and not so subtle, in its policies and actions — especially when it comes to undermining the universal right of every American to vote,” Schumer said in a post on Medium.com. “Many of us found the Election Integrity Commission distasteful when it was first created,” he added. “The president’s recent failure to unequivocally condemn bigotry makes its rescission imperative…. Many of us found the Election Integrity Commission distasteful when it was first created. The president’s recent failure to unequivocally condemn bigotry makes its rescission imperative.”
Schumer claimed that President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are attempting to “disenfranchise millions of Americans and undermine democracy by pushing this despicable SAVE Act,” also called the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act.
He also called the election integrity bill “one of the most despicable pieces of legislation I’ve come across in the many years I’ve been a legislator.”
“Nothing is more important than defeating this dagger to the heart of our democracy,” the Democrat leader told reporters.
A Mauritanian illegal immigrant marked for deportation since 2002 has continued to live in the US and is a registered Democrat who voted in every election since 2008, authorities claim.
Mahady Sacko, 50, who goes by the nickname “Sacko Scorpion,” was busted last week in Philadelphia for allegedly falsely claiming citizenship to cast a 2024 ballot.
He was picked up in a joint operation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI who charge he “falsely represented that he was a US citizen in order to vote and register to vote” in the last preidential election, according to a press release.
Sacko denied the charges when called by The Post, claiming: “Everything is a lie! They are lying about me!” before hanging up. He has yet to enter a plea in his case.
As the issue of election security ramps up in Congress with the SAVE act, Sacko’s arrest was one of nearly a dozen uncovered by The Post of non-citizens allegedly voting in US elections, sometimes for decades, with many remaining listed as active voters on state rolls, even after their convictions.
“The reality is aliens are voting in American elections,” J. Christian Adams, president of Public Interest Legal Foundation, who has spent decades working on election integrity told The Post, noting no one is quite sure how widespread the problem is.
There were about 14 million people who are in the country legally but who are not citizens in 2023, according to the Pew Research center. While they may have work permits and visas, they can’t vote.
“It’s way worse than the left says, but it’s way better than some others say,” he added.
Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, stands out for disastrous alien voter registration, said Adams. The Keystone State has admitted a glitch in its “motor voter” program, which registers voters at the DMV, inadvertently has allowed approximately 100,000 non-citizens to register to vote, though some state officials dispute this number.
Another Pennsylvania voter, Indian citizen Kaushalkumar Patel, 47, of Allentown will stand trial this month for allegedly voting illegally in the 2020 election in Penn.
Patel’s lawyer Philip Steinberg previously said he’s waiting for more information from the goverment laying out their case against Patel, saying in a statement: “Mr. Patel has lived a law abiding life in the United States for over 20 years. He works, pays his taxes and is an active participant in his community. He is also the proud father of two young daughters.”
On March 6, Canadian Denis Bouchard, 70, pleaded guilty to two counts of making false claims he was a US citizen to vote in 2022 and 2024 elections in North Carolina and faces ten years in prison.
An investigation by The Post revealed a man by the same name and age had voted in every election since 2004 and was not registered with a political party. That man was removed from voter rolls in that state after Bouchard’s conviction.
In one shocking case, Chinese national Haoxiang Gao, 19, who was a student at the University of Michigan, was charged on June 3 last year with illegally voting in the 2024 election, but fled to China before he could face justice. . .
. . . Polling shows the SAVE Act is extremely popular with voters, getting over 70% support, with even half of Democrats in favor.
Not only do illegal aliens help steal elections, they steal our society and destroy our culture. Talk about decolonization. Well, Decolonization begins at home. Assimilate or get the hell out. By any means necessary. Yeah, Schemer and the Dems are easy targets but Thune and the GOP not going all out to ram this bill home is is as sharp a dagger as Schemer and his ilk's opposition.
Wow. I’ve been keeping track of Virgina’s new governor, Abigail Spanberger, she who ran as that rarest of political creatures: a moderate Democrat. But the moment she was inaugurated, she ripped off the mask and flew her socialist freak flag. Nowhere has this been more evident in her—and the Democrat-controlled legislature’s--mania for gun control.
I wrote about her “assault weapon” and magazine capacity ban on March 15 in Democrats go gun crazy. Despite there being no such thing as an “assault weapon,” Spanberger has banned AR-15s and the like as well as magazines with greater than 15-round capacity. This is a blatant violation of Heller and Bruen and is sure to be eventually overturned by the Supreme Court, if Democrats don’t seize total control of government and pack the Supreme Court before then. But that’s just the beginning . . .These constitutionally suspect measures are surely only the beginning. The legislature, at the urging of the “moderate” Spanberger, are on a roll. It’s HB 110 that is most revealing of their ultimate intentions. All tyrants immediately ban citizen ownership of guns. That’s a bit difficult in America, which unlike all other nations has a Second Amendment, so they go as far as they dare, and Spanberger dares greatly.
Tyrants also exempt themselves from the law they pass. I know our Congress routinely does that . . . They’re exempt because they’re special. Normal Virginians aren’t fit to exercise their full rights under the Second Amendment, but Democrats—morally and intellectually superior beings—are.
The author notes "Virginia is fast becoming a socialist tyranny., to which I ask "and how should an armed citizenry react to prevent this?"
Elsewhere, the situation in Iran continues apace as is evidenced by the links.
Have a great Day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

“I think it’s safe to say there’s no plan for a wave of new Middle Eastern refugees to the United States of America,” Secretary of the Department of Defense Pete Hegseth said March 5. “I think, as the president has pointed out for a long time, there are a lot of countries in the region who would be capable of providing that kind of support if need be.” Trump Has Plans To Avoid Iranian Refugee Crisis — But War May Make It Inevitable

After weeks of dragging his feet on the voter ID bill, Senate Majority Leader John Thune finally said the act will be voted on this week, CNBC reported. However, the act is likely to fail due to Thune’s unwillingness to amend the filibuster in the Senate, which currently requires a 60-vote threshold to pass legislation.

You may hear more about Noboa in the months to come in the media. You'll probably see some left-wing dog whistle words and phrases like "authoritarian" and "human rights violations" in the MSM headlines, too. That's because Noboa is tough on crime — it's why he was elected. He's even been called Ecuador's Bukele. He's also very pro-Donald Trump and pro-United States. And he's not afraid to deploy the country's military to eradicate the organized crime that has turned Ecuador from one of the safest countries in the Western Hemisphere to one of the most dangerous because he knows drastic times call for drastic measures — all things leftists don't like.

While competent adults in virtually every other medical context retain the absolute right to refuse treatment, pregnant women face a starkly different reality. In certain states, including Florida, courts have carved out a unique legal pathway allowing hospitals to seek emergency orders compelling cesarean sections against a woman’s clearly expressed wishes. These interventions transform what should be a collaborative medical decision into a state-enforced procedure in which the mother’s informed refusal is overridden. ‘Now This Is The Craziest Thing I’ve Ever Seen’ — When A Judge Decides How You Give Birth In 3-Hour Hearing

DLSS 5 goes all-in on AI, changing game graphics into the AI developer's idea of game graphics. It's... Not great.
It uses face detection to overlay what it thinks faces should look like on your game's graphics, adding twenty years to the age of characters while leaving their clothes untouched and sometimes leaving random items looking like they've just been dragged backwards through an industrial recycling facility.
And it achieves all this in real time using the power of your own graphics card... Assuming you have dual RTX 5090s, which you don't.
They "invested" in predicting that an Iranian missile would be intercepted; instead it crashed in empty land outside Jerusalem so that they lost their "investments".
Yes, they are gamblers trying to nobble a horse, only the horse is a person and the nobbling would be fatal.
Uh... Maybe? It was a great series cut off far too early, and it's probably been too long for them to reprise their roles in a live action series. Also one of the characters is canonically dead.
But animated? Anything can happen in an animated series.
Judge VanDyke: "This is a case about swinging dicks."
30 members of the Ninth Circuit write to disagree.
The Ninth Circuit denied rehearing en banc in Olympus Spa v. Armstrong. Judge VanDyke wrote the lead dissent, which begins this way:
This is a case about swinging dicks. The Christian owners of Olympus Spa—a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa—understandably don't want them in their spa. Their female employees and female clients don't want them in their spa either. But Washington State insists on them. And now so does the Ninth Circuit. You may think that swinging dicks shouldn't appear in a judicial opinion. You're not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa— some as young as thirteen—to be visually assaulted by the real thing. Sometimes, it feels like the supposed adults in the room have collectively lost their minds. Woke regulators and complicit judges seem entirely willing, even eager, to ignore the consequences that their Frankenstein social experiments impose on real women and young girls.
As you could imagine, this line infuriated Judge VanDyke's colleagues.
His response to their feigned outrage is hilarious. However, I was disappointed that he didn't write he wasn't a gynecologist but knew a cvnt when he saw one.

Although the purchase has been confirmed as legitimate, both Gale and Jouppien maintained it was merely an addition to Gale’s collection of historical artifacts and not an endorsement of the Führer. In a report from CBC, Jouppien added:
“It’s not to be taken as an insult to any anti-racist group,” Jouppien told CBC News. “It was collected in the sincere interest of history.” Jouppien added that “not many people have the resources [Gale has]” to preserve rare items and that his collection is a contribution to history.
Jouppien also claimed that Gale’s historical collection was worth millions of dollars.
If I were a rare book collector, this would be something that would interest me. And if that bothers you. I'm not sorry. There is nothing to apologize for.
Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe said she was “surprised and shocked” to learn a Waterloo Regional Police Service sniper was deployed as part of law enforcement’s efforts to manage an unsanctioned street party during St. Patrick’s Day weekend in the city’s university district.
Waterloo police confirmed to The Canadian Press that a photo and video circulating of a sniper monitoring the St. Patrick’s Day crowd Saturday was indeed a Waterloo police officer, but at first did not answer questions about why one was deployed.
Police later said in an email late Sunday that “mass casualty considerations” were part of the safety plan for the event.
“The magnitude of unfortunate mass casualty events that have occurred across North America and around the world in recent decades have shaped emergency response strategies for all large gatherings,” Chief Mark Crowell said in the email.

The GOP’s Anti-Trans Crusade Already Forced Me to Move My Family. I’m Still Not Sure We’re Safe.
We thought our new state would be a haven after the last one turned on us. But I know the signs, and they aren’t looking good.
In May of 2020, my family moved so I could attend a clinical mental health doctorate program at the University of Iowa. I remember being so excited about the program’s LGBTQ Counseling Clinic, where I would be the assistant director and where I would get to focus on providing much-needed therapeutic care for queer folks. It was the deciding factor for me on what program I ended up attending.
At that time, I would never have predicted that the same clinic that had drawn me to Iowa would no longer exist when my family would be forced to flee the state in 2025.
At the beginning of our Iowa adventure, my kids were 9 and 12, and the plan was to stay at least until our oldest graduated from high school in 2026, if not longer. A few years into our time in the Hawkeye State, my oldest child came to us because they wanted to start on puberty blockers, since they were trans, and wanted to delay bodily changes that didn’t match their gender. When my child first came out, I was worried that because I’m a trans clinician who works in gender-affirming mental health care, others would assume my child’s choices were influenced by me. I was very careful to make sure they knew that whether to pursue gender-affirming care was entirely their own choice. The most important thing was that they knew we loved them and that we would support whatever choice they made.

“Upset about the music,” the karaoke enthusiast exited the bar, where James Emery, 27, “tried to get...Jablonski to calm down,” according to an arrest affidavit. Instead of cooling off, Jablonski pulled a Glock 9mm from his waistband and pointed it at the man, saying, “I don’t fucking care.”
Jablonski, police reported, fired one round into the air.
It was illegal for Jablonski to possess a handgun since his rap sheet includes a 2012 felony conviction (for battery on a law enforcement officer). He has also been convicted of DUI; disorderly conduct; theft; resisting an officer with violence; and violating probation.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.
Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948." Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
