Democrat Hitman Jack Smith Admits: I Never Called Madison Cornbread to Testify Because Her Testimony Was Nothing But Second- or Third-Hand Gossip and Hearsay
Madison Cornbread -- government name, Cassidy Hutchinson -- was the low-level sorority sister aide who decided to become a Democrat superstar influencer by peddling a lot of nonsense about what other people supposedly said to her about Trump violently seizing the steering wheel of the presidential limo (from the back seat!) in order to wrest the controls away from the driver and go to the Capitol so he could lead the insurrection.
All of her "testimony" was nonsense along the lines of "and then Bill told me something to the effect of" or "and then John told me something to the effect of."
She was very proud of the "to the effect of" phrase. She thought it made her sound smaaaaaht.
Jack Smith now says that all of her testimony was something to the effect of bullshit nonsense hearsay, and all, by the way, denied by the people she claimed she had heard it from, and that's why he never even considered calling her as a witness.
. This brings us back, then, to the strange case of "Madison Cornbread." She became the "star witness" of that Star Chamber charade because she was willing to share mere gossip -- "so-and-so told me that Trump said this" -- in particular claiming that Trump had attempted to physically overpower his limousine driver to force him to drive to the Capitol. Actual witnesses immediately contradicted this testimony, but of course the J6 committee never presented these contradicting witnesses, allowing Cassidy Hutchinson's dubious testimony to become the defining narrative.
Naturally, Simon & Schuster gave her a fat advance to write a book, a six-figure payoff for her service to the anti-Trump cause.
Of course, another six-figure media payoff. And Republicans continue to permit this.
And now, more than three years after her 15 minutes of fame, we get this ironic coda:
The House Select January 6th Committee's "star" Cassidy Hutchinson provided "secondhand hearsay" about the 2021 Capitol riot and wasn't considered as a witness in the election interference case brought against President Trump, according to former special counsel Jack Smith.
Smith told the House Judiciary Committee in a closed-door deposition on Dec. 17 that Hutchinson -- who testified at the Jan. 6 select panel's made-for-TV hearings in June 2022 -- "certainly" wouldn't have made a "powerful" witness because she couldn't provide "firsthand" testimony.
"My recollection with Ms. Hutchinson, at least one of the issues was a number of the things that she gave evidence on were secondhand hearsay, were things that she had heard from other people," the ex-Trump prosecutor testified to the Judiciary lawmakers and staff, the deposition's transcript shows.
Game. Set. Match.
Here we have the special counsel who got the assignment to put Donald Trump in prison over the 2020 election dispute saying, under oath, that Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony was just gossip. Any first-year law student has to know that hearsay is inadmissable as evidence in a legal proceeding, and Jack Smith couldn't go to court with that stuff.
Thanks to The Patriarch Tree.
I'm not working today, just some open threads and then a Cafe, but I thought you'd like an update on Madison Cornbread.
What are your plans? I've got a good one. I haven't been to a restaurant in at least a month but I'm going out for steak. Specifically, a tomahawk ribeye.
As was the case with this Amy Vermin Jackson hack-in-black who illegally blocked his Constitutional authority as Chief executive from running this CFPB politburo (itself a completely anti-Constitunal entity as we discussed yesterday). God bless the President he still has faith that an utterly corrupt institution and those who belong to it that are at the heart of the corruption will act honorably and play by the rules and not act as partisan anti-American internal enemies of the people in advancing their goal to take him down and take America down. That has always been his Achilles heel. He cannot or will not distinguish mere rivals from mortal enemies in the figurative and literal sense.
In 2025 there were two assassination attempts on the President and a possible third that was linked to the regime in Tehran. On top of that of course was the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a leading light and voice of American political and societal revival who more than anyone in recent memory was able to reach and steer the youth of this nation away from the siren song of Leftism. For that direct threat to the multi-generational assault on this nation and society by those who continue to seek our destruction and/or subjugation, Kirk had to be taken down. Regardless, TPUSA and its mission continue. How many young people has the late Charlie Kirk inspired or otherwise enlightened and set on the straight and narrow, as President Trump is fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see.
Of course the fallout over the Somali immigrant sacking and looting of the Minnesota and quite likely state treasuries of Ohio and quite a few other blue and sadly red states as well will be the top story as we head into 2026. While the Leftist controlled propaganda machine will do all it can to embargo and bury the truth or otherwise completely distort it as a Trump Hitlerite white supremacist assault on the African Somali immigrant community whose presence on our soil is a blessing and gift from Heaven instead of at least two of the 10 plagues of Passover/Exodus fame.
YouTuber Nick Shirley said on “PBD Podcast” on Wednesday that people have been telling him he will be assassinated like Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk after his viral video on alleged Somali fraud.
Shirley’s Friday video showed him finding that multiple supposed Minnesota Somali-run daycare centers, including one that reportedly obtained $4 million in taxpayer funds, lacked children. On the podcast, Shirley detailed threats he has received, along with how his family has been affected. (RELATED: Corporate Media Outlets Turn Blind Eye To Somali Fraud Scandal)
Considering the players involved, no not just the low-level hoods but the top echelons of the Minnesota and quite likely national Democrat Party as well as Al Shabab ISIS and other terrorist organizations operating in Somalia and elsewhere, do you really think they're going to let someone get away with putting them out of business? Minnesota is likely the tip of the iceberg as it probably goes way beyond Minnesota and the Somali community but other immigrant groups and native -born fraudsters.
The top legal reporter for Politico.com apparently suggested Tuesday a person can be legally shot for asking questions at the doorsteps of businesses.
Just look to the hell that Project Veritas' James O'Keefe (whose name I just couldn't remember for the life of me when we spoke of this on the podcast) has been put through over the years for his incredible exposés of Leftist graft.
Here's hoping and praying that 2026 sees legions of Charlie Kirks and Nick Shirleys coming forward. Again, as we bemoaned on the podcast President Trump can't be expected to drain the swamp, the size and depth of every ocean on the planet, all by himself. And here's hoping that the prognostications about our youth drifting and even rushing headlong to embrace socialism are somehow off base and missing something that would indicate otherwise. I have the greatest respect and admiration for our dear friend Jim Lakely at heartland.org but every time we talk to him about his polling, vis a vis the aforementioned I want to slit my wrists.
Other than that, could the Mullahs in Iran at long last finally be on the ropes and perhaps dangling a la the Ceaucescus from ropes on a Tehran lamp post. We've seen this picture before and sadly the protests fizzled and more accurately were brutally crushed by the IRGC. And lest we forget back in 2009 Barack Obama refused to support the Persian people and threw his full throated support behind the Mullahs with pallets of cash to help the build their nukes and export Islamic terrorism around the globe.
If Iran can be liberated after more than 45 years of ISlamo tyranny, what a blessing for their people and indeed for the world as a whole since they are the #1 with a bullet biggest state sponsor of global terrorism.
Have a great day And here's wishing all of you a very happy healthy and prosperous 2026.
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 don't have all the answers. I am just a dinosaur with a small brain and short arms. I am no theologian or scientist. I still struggle to figure out which threads on the blog require pants.
Two common threads unify all living things across history: life and death.
We barely understand either. It is not for a lack of trying.
Was the universe created or did it emerge from a Bing Bang? If a divine creator, what does "created in the image of God" mean? If a bang, what existed before and what caused the bang?
A monkey hitting random typewriter key for an infinite amount of time could type the complete works of William Shakespeare, but where did the monkey come from? At some point, randomness fails to explain life.
What is the essential "spark" that gives life to raw ingredients?
With life, we can observe the result post-spark. We can argue about the boundaries of "consciousness" and "sentience" and single cell organisms, but at least we can observe and discuss and draw reasonable guesses about life and what makes it different from a pet rock.
Death is different.
Once someone is gone, we can't get answers from them about what happened and where they are and what it is like. We don't know what to expect.
Fear of the unknown is an essential human condition. The fear permeates much of our daily life. We don't like unpleasant surprises with bad outcomes. We are afraid of the dark. We are generally a risk averse species.
Death is the ultimate unknown and humans have sought answers for eons.
The Egyptian "Book of the Dead" is a collection of spells, prayers, and incantations written on papyrus scrolls and placed in tombs to guide the deceased's soul through the perilous journey of the underworld to achieve a blessed afterlife.
Hindu reincarnation envisions an eternal loop of birth, death, and rebirth. Karma determines the future path of the soul based on actions in previous lives.
Christian traditions focus on the promise of eternal life beyond our mortal existence.
Faith means taking a risk to believe something we do not know based on what we think we know.
As much as Christian theology revolves around the resurrection story, where did Jesus go for three days after he was crucified? The Apostles Creed says he "descended to the dead." Did he "preach to the spirits in prison?" Did he liberate Old Testament souls that believed before he existed? Did he take a few days of R&R after a busy few weeks at the office? (We will leave a discussion of purgatory for another time.)
I dunno but a lot of people have spent at lot of time, energy and money trying to communicate with the great beyond. We have questions. We want to know what to expect. We want to know loved ones are OK. We are infinitely intrigued by anything we do not understand. We are afraid of the dark.
And yet, a day will arrive for each of us whether we understand it or not.
But we remember those whose days have come. Even if we don't understand everything about how their earthly existence, we still mourn.
We mourn because we miss them. We mourn because we appreciate them. We mourn for unrealized promise. Not every story is a happy story. In some cases, we recall the carnage they caused and mourn what might have been.
We mourn, in part, for ourselves because we know that we will follow someday.
On this New Year's Eve, we look back and remember those among the Horde and those adjacent to the Horde who are no longer among the living. Prayers for all who mourn and who continue to come to terms with loss that does not go away. Prayers for mothers that struggle with the loss of a child before having a chance to breathe a first breath outside the womb. We also pray for those who are left to pick up the emotional and temporal pieces.
We also offer prayers of strength and peace for those confronting their own mortality. May God grant you continual comfort and strength and may you feel the love and support from your Horde family. Please continue to let the Horde know if anything can be done to help.
We remember the caregivers who are angels sent to comfort the afflicted and rarely signed up for the role. There is often nobody else to say thank you or provide relief when you are the last line of defense. Please continue to let the Horde know if anything can be done to help.
On this New Year's Eve, we also look ahead. A flip of the calendar is cosmically arbitrary, but carries the symbolism of rebirth and the promise of new beginnings. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, the turn of the new year also moves a step further through the darkness of winter towards the promise of spring.
We do not have to be afraid of the dark. As John says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." There is hope in the light.
I do not have all the answers. But if you pass from this life and end up in Pittsburgh, please let me know. I have questions.
Here endeth the message.

Minnesota Policy Allows Voters to "Vouch" for Up to Eight Unregistered People (Who Don't Show Proof of Citizenship, Of Course) to Allow Them to Vote Through Same-Day Registration
A controversial Minnesota election policy that allows a single registered voter to "vouch" for up to eight people seeking same-day registration is under fire amid the state's massive fraud scandal tied to the Somali community there.
Under Minnesota law, the registered voter must go with the person or people they are vouching for to the polling place and sign an oath verifying their address, according to the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State.
"A registered voter from your precinct can go with you to the polling place to sign an oath confirming your address. This is known as 'vouching.' A registered voter can vouch for up to eight voters," the website reads.
Those being vouched for still must provide at least one form of identity verification, which includes a valid Minnesota driver's license or learner's permit, a "receipt" for them, or a tribal identification card that includes a photo and signature, according to the rules.
Vouching is then used to verify a potential voter's residence in the precinct.
As long as the prospective voter can prove they live in the state, proof of ID can include a driver's license or learner's permit from any of the 50 states, a passport, an expired ID, military ID, or high school or college ID.
However, critics have noted that Gov. Tim Walz's 2023 "Driver's Licenses for All" bill allows people to obtain licenses regardless of immigration status. Licenses carry no marking indicating citizenship, despite being regularly used to register to vote.
"It was made for fraud," Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, declared in on X.
US Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said he believes his SAVE Act (Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility) could throw a wrench into Minnesota's policy.
Under the bill, which passed in the House but has stalled in the Senate, voters would be required to provide proof of citizenship to cast their ballots in federal elections.
It would establish criminal penalties for election officials who register applicants who have not provided such documentation.
This unbelievable clip drops the red-pill nuke on the Somali fraud scam!
She lays it out cold: "You can't afford another kid because childcare is so expensive - but Somali fraudsters got millions of your taxpayer dollars for child care centers that don’t exist."
Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a frequent visitor to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The club was also sending spa employees--usually young women--to Epstein's nearby mansion for massages, manicures and other spa services, according to former Mar-a-Lago and Epstein employees. ...
The spa occasionally provided house calls for members. Epstein wasn't a dues-paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one, the employees said. Epstein had an account at the spa where his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, booked appointments on his behalf.
They came to a halt in 2003, after an 18-year-old beautician returned to the club from a house call to Epstein and reported to managers that he had pressured her for sex, former employees said.
A manager sent Trump a fax relaying the employee's allegations and urged him to ban Epstein, some of the former employees said. Trump told the manager it was a good letter and said to kick him out.
Morrissey adds:
The WSJ notes that Mar-a-Lago aestheticians and spa workers had begun warning each other about Epstein previous to this incident. However, all of these employees were "typically licensed," which means they were adults. The young woman in this incident was 18 years old at the time it occurred. Furthermore, this appears to be the first time that the employees raised this concern all the way to Trump himself. As soon as Trump heard about it, he acted to cut off Epstein's access to Mar-a-Lago and stopped socializing with him at the same time.
Somali Pirate: Racist Thieves Broke Into Our Very Legitimate Day Care and Stole All the Enrollment and Employee Records That Would Prove This Is a Legitimate Business and Not a Pirate Plundering Operation
—Ace
Drat -- the racist thieves stole the very documents that would allow the pirates to clear their good piratical names!
Oh, and he slips it in that they tore off checks from the "day care's" checkbook, too. Not the whole checkbook, for some reason, but just certain checks.
So if you find any checks from the company going to pay for obviously-personal luxuries -- well, that must have been the racist thieves.
He also -- get this -- claims to be a victim of racism, you Racists.
A Somali-run day care in Minneapolis is claiming somebody broke in and stole "important documents" as the national spotlight shines on the unfolding multibillion-dollar fraud scandal involving Minnesota human services.
Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Day Care Center, told reporters that a suspect entered through the kitchen at the rear of the facility, damaging a wall and breaking into the building's office, sometime on Tuesday.
He said the alleged prowler stole "important documentation" including children's enrollment information, employee documentation and checkbooks.
Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Day Care Center, at a press conference with other individuals, one of whom holds a sign that reads "Racism Has NO Place in Childcare". ]
Absolute LOL.
Look at that uggo Karen holding her Racists Repent! sign.
Mohamed blamed last week's viral video by YouTuber Nick Shirley, in which he visited nearly a dozen day care facilities looking for evidence of fraud, for the incident.
"This is devastating news, and we don't know why this is targeting our Somali community as one video made by a specific individual made this all happen," he said, claiming they've received "hateful" and "threatening" messages over the last several days.
"This is frightening and exhausting," he said, calling Shirley's reporting "false."
Nakomis Day Care Center was not one of the facilities featured in Shirley's video, which has been viewed over 110 million times.
At least $1 billion in fraud has been uncovered by authorities in Minneapolis so far, including fraudulent food, housing and child care payments, with warnings from the US Attorney's Office that the true figure could be as high as $9 billion.
Ninety-two people have been arrested in connection with the scheme, 80 of whom are Somali immigrants.
On Tuesday night, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced it was freezing all child care payments to Minnesota -- which totaled $185 million in 2025 alone -- unless proof is provided that the payments are legitimate.
Somali daycare manager speaks to the media after his “business” was allegedly broken into, claims student enrollment and employee documentation was stolen.
“We talked to the maybe complicit government, the investigators who green-lit millions of tax dollars for daycares without kids, and the people who are benefiting from potential fraud, and they all said there’s nothing to see here,” Real Journalists™️ https://t.co/vRjY7NL6kq
CNN opens the segment by introducing Nick Shirley as someone who has posted anti-muslim and anti-immigrant content in the past and calls him a MAGA influencer. They also imply that Nick Shirley falsified his claims by going to the daycares during off-business hours. pic.twitter.com/w95M04X6OQ
He says that even if this fake day care really is a day care, it's only permitted to "care" for three children -- and for caring for three children, it's been paid $800,000 since 2023.
Babysittlers' club is making a mint.
Washington State's AG says he'll launch an investigation -- into the people asking if these really are daycares.
For "harassment."
And "hate."
Attorney General Nick Brown
@AGOWA
My office has received outreach from members of the Somali community after reports of home-based daycare providers being harassed and accused of fraud with little to no fact-checking.
We are in touch with the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families regarding the claims being pushed online and the harassment reported by daycare providers.
Showing up on someone's porch, threatening, or harassing them isn't an investigation. Neither is filming minors who may be in the home. This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior. I encourage anyone experiencing threats or harassment to either contact local law enforcement or our office's Hate Crimes & Bias Incident Hotline at 1-855-225-1010 or http://atg.wa.gov/report-hate.
If you think fraud is happening, there are appropriate measures to report and investigate. Go to DCYF's website to learn more. And where fraud is substantiated and verified by law enforcement and regulatory agencies, people should be held accountable.

It is the duty of journalists to visit taxpayer-funded nonprofits and businesses to investigate where you have failed. The journalists have documented their visits on camera and there is no harassing or threatening behavior. You are trying to threaten journalists by telling people to call police with false allegations of a hate crime.
Exactly. Her point is that as this level of fraud and plundering is permitted by society -- Democrats, I mean -- the pillars that hold up the country -- hard-working, honest, law-abiding Americans -- stop holding the country up.
No one wants to feel like an abused, cucked loser for doing the right thing. If the right thing is not rewarded, and the wrong thing is not punished, we'll all start doing the wrong thing, and Atlas will shrug off his burden.
While we were locked down, they were living the high life, on our dime.

WASHINGTON -- A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to "questionable" rental assistance recipients during the final year of the Biden administration -- including around 30,000 "deceased tenants" and "thousands" of potential non-citizens, The Post can reveal.
HUD officials said a "large concentration" of the suspicious payments went to New York, California and Washington, DC, with dead recipients getting at least some funds in all 50 states -- in what federal officials are calling widespread abuse of taxpayers' dollars under the Biden administration.
"A massive abuse of taxpayer dollars not only occurred under President [Joe] Biden's watch, but was effectively incentivized by his administration's failure to implement strong financial controls resulting in billions worth of potential improper payments," HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement.
...
HUD's Office of the Chief Financial Officer uncovered $5.8 billion of the "questionable" payments out of nearly $50 billion in total federal rental assistance to public housing authorities, contractors, landlords and other non-federal entities in fiscal year 2024, the 183-page report disclosed.
The around 11% of taxpayer dollars from HUD went to more than 200,000 possibly ineligible tenants -- of whom 29,715 (around 14%) were dead, 9,472 (4%) were non-citizens and 165,393 (82%) were receiving sums that exceeded the threshold for assistance in their geographic region, particularly in New Orleans and other large metro areas.
The HUD programs are designed to help low-income residents who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford shelter -- and the possible grift means those truly in need could have been left out in the cold.
HUD officials faulted the Biden administration for a directive "to push funding out the door with minimal oversight" as well as rent assistance programs placing "substantial trust and responsibility in these non-federal entities ... to accurately assess tenant eligibility."
Now, HUD will have to reach out to the public housing authorities and other entities to confirm the extent of the fraud -- and either pause or revoke funding. Officials will also make criminal referrals when warranted.
"HUD is implementing processes and procedures to revoke or pause funding as part of its efforts to hold bad actors accountable," one official said. "Additionally, the Department could make criminal referrals and exercise other enforcement actions once it has confirmed fraud occurred."
A fresh 92-page bombshell from the California State Auditor lays it all out.
"This latest report was issued by the state auditor, and that's a nonpartisan position; that state auditor now puts eight state agencies on the high-risk list of agencies to watch out for, for things like fraud and mismanagement as well as waste," Newsmax correspondent Heather Myers revealed last week. "Here's a look at that 92-page report. Newly added to the high-risk list is California's food stamp program. If the state doesn't get the improper payments under control, it could cost an extra $2.5 billion. Also on there is the Department of Finance, which was tasked with giving out COVID relief funds. Critics say $32 billion of that was taken by fraudsters. Then there are infrastructure issues like California's deteriorating dams, and also the high-speed train that's already cost taxpayers 18 billion without a single section of track complete."
But wait, there's more!
"Other reports cite $24 billion spent on the homeless issue that critics claim the state lost track of. More recently, there's a report that says California cell phone users paid a surcharge for years to upgrade the state's 911 system," she added.
Tallied all up, California taxpayers lost $70 billion to fraud.
Tucker Carlson: No American Has Been Killed By Muslims... Since 9/11; Anti-Muslim "Hate" Is an Op by the Jews
—Ace
Good. The coward is getting a little more courageous. He feels less need to pretend he doesn't believe these things while having on guests who he encourages to say all the things he believes while pretending to be agnostic on these topics.
Now the coward is finally finding his own voice.

Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) tells @amconmag that "hate the Muslims," is just another classic Israeli government psyop meant to propagandize Americans to believe that Israel's enemies are their own.
"I don't know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who's been killed by radical Islam. I do know a lot of people who have killed themselves.
I know people who've died of drug ODs, more than a few. I know people who can't get jobs. None of the boys in my daughter's class can get jobs, none of those white boys can get jobs. They're being destroyed by Adderall and video games and porn.
I see millions of Americans being destroyed, and none of it is at the hands of radical Islam. Is radical Islam more dangerous than OnlyFans? It's not even close. Turning some huge percentage of American women into prostitutes. That's not radical Islam doing that, actually."
A few obvious points:
Leftwingers routinely begin counting deaths after 9/11 when they want to prove that White Supremacists kill more people than Islamic terrorists. Good to see that Tucker Carlson is embracing this "in the last twenty-four (not twenty five!) years" method of counting.
Apparently Tucker doesn't consider the many, many American soldiers killed by ISIS and Al Qaeda to be victims of radical Muslim violence. Or the American civilians captured by ISIS and beheaded on camera.
Oh wait, the did restrict his counting to those killed in the United States. Once again he puts special restrictions on who he will count and who he won't count, like a fucking leftist scumbag propagandist.
But he's definitely ignoring the people murdered by the Fort Hood Islamist psychiatrist. I guess he considers that "workplace violence" not radical Muslim terrorism -- once again, like a fucking leftist scumbag propagandist.
The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple living in the city of Redlands, targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and Christmas party of about 80 employees in a rented banquet room. Fourteen people were killed and 22 others were seriously injured. Farook was a Muslim and an American-born citizen of Pakistani descent, who worked as a health department employee. Malik was a Muslim and Pakistani-born green card holder. After the shooting, the couple fled in a rented Ford Expedition SUV. Four hours later, police pursued their vehicle and killed them in a shootout, which also left two officers injured.
...etc., etc., etc.
We have at least one or two Muslim terrorist attacks in America every year.
But the left won't admit they're terrorist attacks.
They vow "the motive may never be known."
And now Real Conservative Tucker Carlson joins them.
He's America First, you know.
Obviously Europe sees people slaughtered on the street or train every few months but that's "not in the United States." Are the Jews running ops in Europe, too?
(Of course they are.)
He just pretends all these deaths away. All incidents of workplace violence or shocking, motive-free violence that has nothing at all to do with Islam.
Again, he's adopting the hard leftwing position on all the terrorist murder we've suffered through for twenty five grisly years -- it didn't happen, and if it did happen, you're racist for noticing.
But he's the Real Conservative, huh?
Update: Oh my Lord, I forgot about the Boston Marathon bombing.
I also forgot about the jihadi car attacks -- you know, where a jihadi plows his truck into crowds of people, murdering them. And the media blames them on the vehicle. Vehicle kills 14.
"America First" Tucker blames the vehicle, too.

A non-exhaustive list of Islamic terror attacks in the U.S. over the last 25 years:
🔸 Fort Hood shooting -- November 5, 2009 -- 13 killed
🔸 Little Rock recruiting office shooting --June 1, 2009 -- 1 killed
🔸 Boston Marathon bombing -- April 15, 2013 -- 3 killed
🔸 Chattanooga military recruiting center attack -- July 16, 2015 -- 5 killed
🔸 San Bernardino terrorist attack -- December 2, 2015 -- 14 killed
Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) tells @amconmag that "hate the Muslims," is just another classic Israeli government psyop meant to propagandize Americans to believe that Israel's enemies are their own.
As many have noticed, the so-called "America First" lunatics have said N O T H I N G about the Somali looting of the American treasury. Including Tucker Carlson.
Because criticizing foreign invaders would be "anti-Muslim hate" and would distract us from the Real Enemy, the Jews.
With another year in the books, let's see how I did at prognostication at the beginning of the year. I've never claimed clairvoyance and as we'll see, there's a reason for that.
Economy is a mixed bag
I think we'll see a recession, possibly declared as having already begun but with good odds before the end of the year. It may not be severe, but I think we're nipping at the heels of one. The AI and real estate bubbles are helping keep things inflated, but there are a lot of headwinds in the monetary situation and out-of-control spending continuing to pile on. I think we're probably at the end (or close to it) on rate cuts and that is likely to reverse this year. Inflation is going to remain more or less untamed. Employment is probably going to suffer, too - and expect more and more "revisions" like we've been seeing that wipe out reported job gains. On the plus side, the coming regulatory reforms and - if it happens - DOGE are going to lay a lot of groundwork for recovery. China's continuing decline and the return of trade-as-policy-tool will likely pay dividends, too. There is a lot of reason for cautious optimism in the intermediate term, though I think 2025 is not going to be a banner year. If the bubbles in AI and real estate pop this year, it could be really rotten.
Gotta give myself a miss on this one. Employment - despite the headline numbers - is soft, but it isn't negative. Real estate is starting to soften more or less on schedule and the AI bubble has gotten even more dangerous, but nothing has broken badly and I can't claim any points.
Prediction:
The Russia/Ukraine situation is resolved, one way or another
American financing of the Ukrainians is unpopular and fewer people than ever care, except for not liking how much it's costing to maintain a stalemate. The great shoveling money into the furnace that Congress and Biden just undertook is likely its last hurrah. I expect Trump and his people to wade in and negotiate a settlement of some kind, in some manner. Russia will likely keep Crimea and the Russian-speaking areas it has already conquered and there will probably be some kind of DMZ or buffer zone. There may be some kind of reparations, disguised as something else, as a face-saving exercise (like seized Russian assets remaining seized forever). I don't think Zelensky will be deposed in the aftermath, nor do I think that Ukraine will be joining NATO or the EU. They won't be formally denied entry, but they won't be admitted.
Nope. Miss. Trump is making more noise recently about it and I think something will happen on this front soon, but it didn't happen in 2025.
Prediction:
The Middle East gets worse
The recent coup in Syria, the continued malingering in the Palestinian territories, an increasingly desperate Iran once the taps are turned off (which I think will happen under Trump, as it did before), an increasingly questionable Turkey and all the run-of-the-mill intrigues are going to conspire to keep the region hot for a while. I won't be surprised to see another war break out in the region, and I think peace breaking out is pretty unlikely.
This one is debatable. I am going to take the point, but you may disagree. There was an entire additional war in the region this year, the saber-rattling hasn't exactly toned down, various psychotic or suicidal countries decided to go ahead and recognize the Palestinian Territories, Israel/Qatar relations are degrading, there is civil unrest (again) in Iran, the Houthis remain a problem, etc. It isn't a pile of ash in the Middle East, but I think I can call this one a hit.
Prediction:
Energy improves
Despite the sticks in the eye Biden is driving into us on his way out the door, Trump is pro-energy and has sworn to keep naysayers - like RFK Jr - away from energy policy. I have some faith that this will happen and we'll be back to producing energy, starting this year. It takes a while and major industries don't turn on and off with the flip of a switch, but I have hope for a remaking of American energy through aggressive use of the EO pen, bullying Congress into doing their jobs, and whipping the administrative bureaus into line. Oil is going to be back, and I have some hope for nuclear at least getting started in the next few years.
Big hit. Oil is back and so is nuclear, much of it on the back of regulatory reform and major changes at Energy and Environmental Protection.
Prediction:
Unmaskable administrative infighting
The "Resistance" types are not going away, and are not going to be quitting on day 1. They're dug in like ticks and will do exactly what they did last time. I expect major, ugly, public fighting over the bureaus and control of them. I expect we're going to see attempted layoffs/mass firings, tons of court battles, stays, injunctions and overturnings from all corners. Congress is going to remain loudly silent over most of it, quietly blocking appointments as it is able. The bureaus are going to be fighting for their lives, and they know it. I expect some progress in Energy, Education, Interior, HHS, HUD and maybe some of the smaller outfits like USDA. I expect little to no progress in Justice, State, Treasury, EPA or any of those agencies comprising the IC.
I am going to give myself a point for this, but there is room for argument. The administrative agencies didn't exactly go as I expected (I expected nothing at EPA, and we got something). Justice has done what Justice always done, the courts have gone hog-wild, Congress has been largely unhelpful. We have had major gains in most of the places I expected, absent Education. I'm taking the point.
Prediction:
Continued progress in the culture war
We're going to chalk up some victories in 2025. I expect Hollywood to continue its general implosion as the cruft built up over the past seven years or so works its way through the studios. I expect DEI to be downplayed. DEI and its ilk will continue, of course, but much less publicly because it is losing support. I expect a few court battles over DEI-type policies to get started or finish during the year, and it will lose its de facto legal protections. More public universities are going to take a cue from Iowa and start winding down the more egregious programs. Woke is not going to die, but it's going to come out weaker in December than it is today.
Hit. The formal destruction of DEI has not been fully realized, but the entire scheme is on the back foot and while many universities and major corporations are making changes in name only, there is much progress being made. This has been a bright spot of the past year.
Prediction:
Major reductions and retrenchment in the press
The body blows the American press has been taking in the last quarter of 2024 will continue. They basically bet the business this year, and the bet failed. The Party loyalists who were keeping them afloat are disaffected, the opposition is exultant and the vast middle is increasingly indifferent if not outright contemptuous of the press. 2025 is going to be a bad year for establishment "journalism" and I expect significant layoffs and restructuring and would not be surprised by failure or near-failure resulting in consolidation. The press will not improve, it will just get smaller.
Hit. Major shakeups and divestitures at MSNBC, WaPo, CBS and more. The Press ain't dead (and it never will be), but they're having to regroup and consolidate and journalists have been getting axed.
So how did I do? 2/7 were clean misses and 3/7 were clean hits. 2/7 are arguable, but I think I got them.
So like 2025 itself, my crystal ball was a mixed bag!
I think 2025 was overall positive, but not stupendous. How do you think 2025 went? What do you all see for the coming year?
Good morning kids. The big story, on this New Year's Eve, at least in the real world and not the Potemkin Village holographic illusion projected by the Democrat/Leftist Propaganda complex is the massive multi-billion dollar swindle perpetrated on the American people by Somali immigrants (invaders) and their Democrat Party protectors in Minnesota and elsewhere. No doubt that a not insignificant amount of the loot wound up in the pockets of credibly suspected pederast Tim Walz, incest practitioner and immigration fraudster Bro-Fo Omar, Jacob Frey and other local state and national Democrats from Minnesota as well as the coffers of the despicable anti-American Commie front group known as the Democrat Farm Labor Party, and the equally evil Islamic terror groups in Somallia that are now spilling rivers of blood in the horn of Africa and likely helping their compatriots slaughter Nigerian Christians and others in Central Africa.
It's the Brinks Job of Great Train Robberies of Teapot Domes. It's bigger than that and considering the transnational nature of the graft, it would not surprise me in the least and I fully expect that the Clintons have more than few drops of moisture on their beaks via the Clinton Global Initiative and massage parlor. As my mother of blessed memory observed way back when in '92 when these bastards came to prominence, that they had goniffed the entire state of Arkansas, and then from their lair in the West Wing somehow swindled millions in aid money that was supposed to go to Haiti in the wake of a hurricane. Epstein is small potatoes, The Minnesota strip is where the action is.

The White House cannot lapse in its funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal district court judge ruled on Tuesday, only days before funds at the bureau would have likely run out and the consumer finance agency would have no money to pay its employees. Judge Amy Berman ruled that the CFPB should continue to get its funds from the Federal Reserve, despite the Fed operating at a loss, and that the White House’s new legal argument about how the CFPB gets its funds is not valid.At the heart of this case is whether Russell Vought, President Donald Trump’s budget director and the acting director of the CFPB, can effectively shut down the agency and lay off all of the bureau’s employees. The CFPB has largely been inoperable since President Trump has sworn into office nearly a year ago. Its employees are mostly forbidden from doing any work, and most of the bureau’s operations this year has been to unwind the work it did under [so-called quote-unquote] President Biden and even under Trump’s first term.
As you can see she has been singularly focused on destroying President Trump and anyone and everyone who supports him, including anyone who was even thinking that 2020 was stolen, let alone who showed up to DC to actually protest on 1/6/21.
The CFPB is an utterly illegal anti-constitutional politburo that as it was established has no congressional oversight, can directly fund itself without approval or any check on it by Congress and as such wields unprecedented power over the economy and therefore over the individual rights of the citizenry. In the words of President Trump almost from day one of his second term:
CFPB Isn’t a Wall Street Regulator, It’s a Main Street Regulator — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — the brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren — has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by so-called “elites.”
For example:
CFPB used its slush fund — collected from targeting financial institutions — to support radical advocacy groups. One such group is the Soros-backed Mississippi Center for Justice, which advocates for “racial and economic justice,” targets religious liberty, and assists illegal immigrants seeking to skirt our nation’s laws. Another is The Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, whose board features senior left-wing officials and has lobbied hundreds of times for more welfare spending. -- CFBP threatened banks for refusing to lend to illegal immigrants. --CFPB targeted a Chicago small business after it complained about the city’s rampant crime. -- CFPB was accused of mining American citizens’ personal financial information — with a 2017 inspector general’s report raising significant concerns about its data security. -- CFPB granted itself broad new powers in the waning hours of the lame duck Biden administration. Described as classic “government overreach,” the agency gave itself the authority to regulate Americans’ checking accounts by dictating government price controls and unilaterally buried $50 billion in medical debt.
And Mr. President, please forget about this new fleet of battleships and instead expand ICE by a factor of at least 10, with a grand fleet of paddy wagons and Pinochet airliners to Deport the illegal aliens.
So if the president is going to send ICE agents to chase immigrants through the fields where they work, what I’m going to do is make sure that they take off their masks and show their faces, that they show their identification. And if they commit crimes that they’re going to be charged with crimes, if it’s falsely imprisoning people, if it’s kidnapping, if it’s assault battery, they’re going to be held accountable. I also think if the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California. There’s a lot you can do, but most importantly, you have to go on offense. Otherwise, the most vulnerable in our community will always be on defense.”

During a debate with then-Republican vice presidential candidate and now-Vice President JD Vance in 2024, Walz spoke about the subject of childcare and how Minnesota “passed a paid family and medical leave” that allows people to stay home for a certain amount of time after having a baby. Walz added that this “gets the child off to a better start” and that the “family works better.” Walz continued to advocate for a “paid family medical leave program.” (Families of clit-clippers, Islamikaze bombers and taqqiya sunrisers, I prefer a Corleone-style family- jjs) WATCH: Tim Walz Brags in 2024 Debate that Minnesota Made ‘It Easier’ to Get into Daycare Business

Fresh out of college in the mid 2010s, I'd scored a copy job for a how-to website. An early task involved expanding upon an article titled "How to Get Rid of Dark Lips." For the next two years, I worked on articles with headlines such as "How to Speak Like a Stereotypical New Yorker (With Examples)", "How to Eat an Insect or Arachnid," and "How to Acquire a Gun License in New Jersey." I didn't get rich or win literary awards, but I did learn how to write a clean sentence, convey information in a logical sequence, and modulate my tone for the intended audience - skills that I use daily in my current work in screenwriting, film editing, and corporate communications.

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.
The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible.
A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia.
If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper.

As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.
