The US military launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran Wednesday evening, hours after President Trump warned additional attacks on the Islamic Republic were coming to try and force Tehran to re-enter serious peace negotiations.
“U.S. Central Command [CENTCOM] forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5:15 p.m. ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” the Tampa, Fla.-based combat command said in a statement on X.
“The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.”
. . . Asked what he’ll do if Tehran doesn’t make a deal, the president responded: “We’ll bomb the s–t out of them tomorrow.”
Trump also revealed he spoke with top Iranian officials in the Situation Room who begged him to stop bombing.
Wait, what have we been doing for the past few months already?! Look, the Mullahs are an absolute existential threat to us and to civilization itself, but bombing the shit out of them thus far has not really done the job insofar as removing the danger posed by the regime itself which despite everything is still in power and given the nature of Islam will remain in power regardless of who the cardboard cutout-du-jour is today or will be tomorrow. And with that I give you this unsettling observation by friend and friend of the blog the estimable Robert Spencer
The Iranian state-controlled West Asia News Agency (WANA) picked up on the story, and it’s easy to see why. WANA reported Tuesday that “several foreign and Israeli media outlets have claimed that $3 billion worth of Iranian assets was transferred from Abu Dhabi to Tehran on a recent flight, reportedly as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further escalation in the region.”
This was not a transaction that solely involved the United Arab Emirates and the Islamic Republic of Iran. WANA continued: “According to a report by Israel’s Kan broadcaster, the assets were transferred to Tehran on a flight from Abu Dhabi. The report alleges that, in return, Iran was asked to halt its attacks against Israel. Kan further claimed that the message accompanying the transfer, reportedly delivered on behalf of the United States, included assurances that Israel would suspend its military operations in Lebanon.”. . .Oh, surely not, right? This must be propaganda from Iran’s Islamic regime, right? They’re just trying to make Donald Trump look as if he has morphed into Barack Obama, bribing the Iranian leaders to be good so as to burnish his legacy and give the appearance of peace while actually kicking the problem of the Islamic Republic of Iran down the road for some future president to deal with — right?
Well, maybe. And yet… given Trump’s recent behavior, the report, which appears indeed to have originated with Israel’s Kan, is really not as farfetched as we all wish it were. Would Trump have done this, despite his previous disdain for Obama’s nuclear deal, and the billions that Obama sent to Tehran in addition to concluding that disastrous agreement?
. . .Sure he would. Trump is now avid to make a deal with the Islamic Republic that will bring down gas prices and allow him to claim victory (as well as, finally, get that Nobel Peace Prize he so desperately covets). He is drawing red line after red line for the leaders of the Islamic Republic and then allowing them to cross those red lines with impunity. He has ordered Israel not to retaliate to Iranian strikes, and shrugged off Iranian violations of his ridiculous ceasefire as unimportant, signaling for Tehran and all the world that he lacks the will to fight and will give anything, anything to the leaders of Iran’s Islamic regime if they’ll just let him play peacemaker. So why not three billion dollars? Yet at the same time, Trump said Wednesday: “We’re going to be attacking them and attacking them very hard.” He added: “I’ve been working with Iran for a number of months, and they should sign their deal. It’s a good deal. It doesn’t give them the right to have a nuclear weapon. In fact, it totally prohibits them from ever having a nuclear weapon.”
The Iranian Islamic regime will never agree to that. If it does, it will only be so as to buy time in order to gather its strength, in view of the moment when it resumes its jihad against the United States and Israel. In light of the fact that it has not ever really stopped that jihad, that moment will likely come quite soon, whatever Trump does at this point.
Well, I certainly hope Robert Spencer's fears about the President are unjustified and yet despite the pulverizing sustained aerial assault that no doubt the President and his advisers thought would cause the regime to collapse like a soggy biryani, the word negotiations is all the rage. The only thing that should be "negotiated" is the date and time of Iran's unconditional surrender. Oh well, oh well.
And that goes double to the nth degree for the Democrat Party and Leftists here at home. It and they cannot be eradicated (figuratively speaking of course) fast enough for my liking because for the better part of our nearly 250-year history they have gone pedal to the metal to quite literally eradicate us! The bitter irony of ironies is that they have used and abused blacks as the tip of the spear in their lethal assault on the American experiment. Yet again they have turned a black youth who brutally murdered a white classmate into the victim and the victim into the perpetrator. The reaction by this hack alleged singer is typical...

this foul shit-whore actually has a point. It was not justice because he should've got the death penalty.
On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center. Republicans are rightfully scrutinizing the organization's practices, and one of their witnesses was Dr. Alveda King.
In case you're unfamiliar with Dr. King, she's a child of the Civil Rights movement. Her father is Alfred Daniel King, the younger brother of Martin Luther King Jr., and she's quite accomplished in her own right. She represented the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives as a Democrat, but she eventually switched to the Republican Party and has famously said that she is a Christian first before associating with any political party.
Like her father and uncle, Alveda has chosen to dedicate her life to speaking up for those who can't speak for themselves. However, in her case, it's the unborn — she's had two abortions and was nearly aborted by her own mother before her grandfather talked her out of it, and after becoming a born-again Christian in 1983, she changed her views on the matter. She believes abortion and racial discrimination go hand-in-hand, and has said that Planned Parenthood profits from killing "black babies."
She has served as an advisory board member for Black Voices for Trump, and she's currently the senior advisor on Faith and Community Outreach for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She's also the chair of the Center for the American Dream at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), and she has advised Donald Trump in other roles throughout the years.
But none of that is good enough for Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). According to her, Dr. King isn't black enough. Or isn't King enough. Or something. . .
. . ."Congresswoman, I am a bit emotional. I'm going to watch what I say, but it seems as though you have suggested that I am a bastard to the King family legacy," Alveda said. "I am legitimately the daughter of the Rev. Alfred Daniel Williams King and Dr. Naomi Ruth Barber King. We are a family who loves God. And I love you. God bless you."
Not that Crockett was around to see it. She got up and left — you can hear the door slam — in the midst of Alveda's words.
To call Jasmine Crockett dog excrement would be a cruel and demeaning insult to canine feces.

The elimination of Abu-Bilal al-Minuki and other militants significantly weakens the Islamic State’s operational capabilities in West Africa and reduces its ability to plan attacks globally.

That makes it much easier to imagine them holding on to the majority — by a thread. To do it, they’ll need to win some races in the dwindling number of genuinely competitive districts.

Antares today announced that its Mark-0 microreactor achieved initial criticality at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) authorization - making Antares the first private company to bring an advanced reactor to criticality under the DOE Reactor Pilot Program. The demonstration was conducted in partnership with DOE, INL, and BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT), with integration and observation support from the U.S. Army.
This reactor validates key reactor physics parameters for Antares' reactors and contributes verification and validation data back to the Department of War's Project Pele. The Mark-0 was authorized by DOE under the Reactor Pilot Program, with the U.S. Army integrated throughout as a future end user. This model of interagency coordination directly supports the Army's microreactor deployment timeline.
The demonstration and the licensing pathway it establishes represent a key step toward deploying electricity-producing microreactors for U.S. military installations by September 30, 2028.
NASA plans to open up competition for control over the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which has historically been operated by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). This move is part of an even larger reorganization by the agency (though NASA asserts that this doesn't mean layoffs).
"NASA announced today that they will compete the contract for operating JPL, with Caltech's current agreement ending on Sept. 30, 2028," reads a statement today (May 22) from JPL. Caltech has managed JPL since the lab's inception in the 1930s, and has done so for NASA since the agency was established in 1958. According to the JPL statement, Caltech has been preparing for this possible transition since last summer, so the news "comes as no surprise." But the potential change is part of a larger shakeup for the agency.
Until now, JPL and Caltech have been heavily intertwined, with mission personnel, scientists, leadership, and others working closely "across the pond" between JPL and Caltech. JPL mission and program meetings often include Caltech employees and sometimes even take place on its Pasadena campus.

Never seen this before, not new, and don't have any idea how it found me. Pretty sure that means that I must share it with you.
Plot E of the Oise-Aisne American cemetery in northern France.
Go ahead and look. You won't find it listed on the Veterans Administration website, nor any of the literature provided by the cemetery. Maps will show Plots A, B, C, and D only, those containing 6012 American dead from WWI. Google Earth will just show an expanse of green. It's like it doesn't exist, which is exactly what its creators intended.
But it's very much there, and serves a necessary if somewhat unsavory purpose.
Plot E is where American servicemen are buried who were executed - by firing squad or hanging - for capital crimes committed in the European theatre during or shortly after WWII.
Some of the victims were children. Many were women. Most are forgotten by the modern age, though at least one - Sir Eric Teichman, killed on his ancestral estate confronting two U.S. soldiers poaching on the land - was a prominent member of society who still has his own Wikipedia page.
Bidding paddles are sure to go flying in the air as auctioneer Alexandre Giquello of Hôtel Drouot in Paris, France, accepts offers on the first-ever handbag made with collagen from lab-grown Tyrannosaurus rex fossils, which were reportedly exhumed in the US...
With an asking price ranging from €300,000 to 500,000 ($347,081 to $578,469), the ancient accessory is an expensive, albeit exclusive piece that will go to the highest bidder with the deepest pockets.
Following an extensive process - including harvesting T. rex DNA, conducting phylogenetic analyses, inserting the materials into a specialized bio-leather cell line genome, transforming the cells into skin and sustainably tanning the skin to create the leather - the scientists have managed to make primeval magic.
Should I be impressed with the scientific homage to prehistoric dino ancestors or horrified at the involuntary transformation of T. rex DNA into a purse?
Eess next...dino wear. Very nice.

YouTube is filled with niche channels. When anyone can broadcast their own content, the barriers to entry are low. The possibility of monetization creates incentives to create content. Of course, easier access does not mean higher quality. There is a staggering amount of garbage, but there are gems out there.
People with very specific content somehow get connected to others with sympathies for that specific content. Instead of "broadcasting," it is called "narrowcasting." More to say about this in coming ONTs, but we're going to feature one niche YouTube channel with a surprisingly (at least to me) large following each Wednesday.
Tonight's feature is Matt Horn, the drum tech. 96k+ subscribers and videos that often exceed 100k views each.

After Single Night of Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests, Two-Tier Keir Starmer, Who Did Not Mention Henry Nowak Until the Video of His Police-Assisted Murder Was Released, Is Johnny-on-the-Spot in Condemning Riots
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Belfast experienced some rioting last night.
The riots were, as the US media described the BLM riots, "fiery but mostly peaceful." There was disorder, Some People Set Fire to Some Vehicles, a house was burned, but they were "mostly peaceful," meaning no one was killed.
Fiery but mostly peaceful: The left has told us before that this is a perfectly acceptable and justifiable level of public disorder, at least when they want to press their political claims in the street.
"Riots are the voice of the unheard," they lectured us in the media.
The left in the UK is freaking out about the same level of rioting that they cheered on in the US.
The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.
There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.
It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.
I've spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I've also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.
Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.
You know what I say? I am shocked and angered at the attempted beheading, and the reaction of the UK authorities to peaceful protests by people rightly demanding justice has been an affront to humanity.
Does Keir Starmer and Labour plan on cracking down on illegal immigration and the psychopathic violence it has unleashed?
No -- but they are promising to crack down anyone complaining about it.
How predictable was this, the British Parliament and Keir Starmer are using the outcry over an immigrant trying to behead a man on the streets, to attack Elon Musk and X.
They're the party of chaos and disruption, riots and "teen takeovers," subway knife attacks and women having their throats slashed open by infinitely-indulged homeless maniacs.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation to fund key immigration enforcement agencies through the end of his term after Congress approved the package via the reconciliation process.
"This morning, I'm thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term," he said at the signing ceremony in the Oval Office.
The legislation followed a record-breaking shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which Democrats orchestrated in a bid to secure immigration enforcement policy concessions. Ultimately, the shutdown ended with Congress passing a bill to fund DHS that excluded funds for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Jasmine Ratchett: "Black Women Live in Agony" Daily that Murdered Athlate Austin Metcalf "Never Lived Through" (Except The Day He Was Murdered by a Jasmine Ratchet Supporter)
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Was she ever murdered?
No?
So Austen Metcalf did actually experience agony of a kind that this fat donut disposal unit and sloppy whore can only imagine.
She also blacksplains that the knife used to lethally stab him through the heart is not really a deadly weapon at all. She says that in her opinion as a Real DEI Lawyer, she would have argued that the knife was not a deadly weapon, thus sparing Karmelo Anthony the death penalty, even though the knife is a weapon which was used to inflict an almost-instantly deadly wound.
She further says that Karmelo Anthony was justified because he didn't want to be "put out in the rain by some random kid that he didn't know, who was larger than him," and claims he was afraid.
Blacks and whites disagree on what blacks are "owed" (and which hasn't already been repaid 50 times over).
But what is new, and what is unaccepable and will absolutely not be accepted, is black people insisting they have the right to literally murder us without punishment in some kind of free-floating when-we-feel-like it Blood Reparations.
If black people continue insisting on this -- and note that no one on earth could or would ever concede that another race has the right to murder them and their children -- they're going to provoke a backlash like the US has not seen before.
🚨 JUST NOW: Jasmine Crockett says Karmelo Anthony was JUSTIFIED IN KlLLING Austin Metcalf because he “didn’t want to be put out in the rain by some random kid”
Thank GOD this ghetto hack lost her primary in a landslide.
She demands mercy. You know, I'll just say it: White people are looking at the huge amounts of "mercy" black people demand when they are caught breaking the law, even killing people, and comparing it to the zero mercy granted to white people.
The sympathy that people have been taught to feel for for blacks is draining away rapidly, as we see that sympathy is being used to justify further murders and outrages against us.
Pretending Not to Notice is not working, and I personally am all done Pretending Not to Notice. All that we have gotten in exchange for it is violence, intimidation, disorder, and murders.
Just last year I would have avoided posting videos like the one below, because I wouldn't want to Inflame Passions.
Well, maybe passions need to be inflamed. I don't see anyone on the left chiding Jasmine Ratchet not to inflame passions or spark riots. That seems like her goal, and the left is all-in on assisting her in that goal.
Here, a degenerate subnormal IQ thug declares that Austin Metcalf's brother should have been murdered as well, just because.
The race-murderer thrill-killer Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to a mere 35 years in prison for a looking for a victim to stab and then murdering him. My only consolation is that I imagine 35 years in Texas means something close to 35 years.
After Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, the victim's parents delivered emotional impact statements in court.
WFAA-TV reports Austin's mother, Meghan Metcalf, addressed Anthony directly, saying he should consider himself "lucky you got 35 years, because I've been given a life sentence without my son."
She said her family would "never know what our future could have been" and said the loss of her son left their home "quiet."
"For journalists, activists, this is a story. For our family, this is our reality," she said, adding she still hopes to wake up and discover the tragedy was only a "nightmare."
Meghan Metcalf said she now speaks to her son only at his gravesite and stressed "he didn't just die -- he was taken from us."
I can't wait until this piece of shit is raped and killed in prison.
Karmelo Anthony sobbed Tuesday as he was swiftly convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow high school jock Austin Metcalf at a track meet -- and his furious supporters raged, "This whole thing's been racist!"
The jury in Collin County deliberated about three hours before finding Anthony, 19, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of the 17-year-old and must now decide whether to put him away for life -- prompting the killer's weeping mom to later take the witness stand and beg for mercy for her son, according to a report by NBC DFW.
"He's my oldest. He'll always be my baby. I love him very much," Anthony's mom, Kala Hayes, sobbed to jurors before they headed into further deliberations to decide his sentence.
As she spoke, Anthony also cried.
"I know my son, and he's very sorry for what he did," Hayes told the jury.
"Please have mercy on my son."
Anthony killed Metcalf during a April 2, 2025, run-in prompted by a dispute over seating at the track and field event in Frisco.
Anthony previously appeared glum, looking down and not immediately speaking with his lawyers, as he entered the courtroom to hear the verdict -- then broke into sobs as it was announced, several outlets in court reported.
Metcalf's twin, Hunter, sat next to his parents in court for the verdict.
Metcalf's stricken mom wept as emotional photos were later shown to jurors deliberating sentencing for her son's killer.
The snapshots captured coaches performing CPR on her mortally wounded son at the track meet after Anthony stabbed him.
Outside the courthouse, about 200 protesters for and against Anthony clashed.
"This whole thing's been racist. We didn't make it racist!" a protester screamed.
Austin Metcalf's father called for race to be put out of mind throughout this disgusting affair.
Anthony, his family, and the degenerates supporting him have made it about nothing but race:
Gibby Turismo
@GibbyTurismo207
Victim Impact Statement, from Jeff Metcalf (father of Austin Metcalf):
"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."
"I said from day one...this was never about race, please don't politicize it."
"But what did you choose to do?"
"Both."
"It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color."
"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today."
"People think that grief is sadness, but it's not...IT"S RAGE!!! [slams his hands on the table.] It's pure unfiltered rage!"
"You failed your parents. You failed yourself and you failed society. You don't belong in this community," he said to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison...you can't even look me in the eyes right now, but you can stab my fu#%ing son in the heart!"
What happens when white people decide that they should make it All About Race, too?
Of course these violent sub-morons have never asked themselves that question.
A black man recorded video of himself riding up to a random white man on the street and assaulting him as revenge for the Karmelo Anthony conviction. He accuses him of being part of the jury process in the trial.
Comments President Donald Trump made on Wednesday suggest that he may be losing patience with the ongoing negotiations with Iran, which have for months failed to produce a peace deal.
"They've taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The statement comes a day after the U.S. launched what it called "self-defense strikes" against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned his country will retaliate against the U.S. strikes, stating "no attack or threat" will be ignored.
BREAKING: President Trump exclusively tells @TreyYingst that the U.S. is getting close to ordering new strikes against Iranian power plants and bridges in response to “tapping the United States along” when it comes to drawn out negotiations.
Generally-supportive General Jack Keane is visibly frustrated with the stalemate.
FoxNews reports that the downed Apache pilots were rescued by... a robotic boat.
I've seen stuff like that in Ukraine, where wounded soldiers are now ferried from the front line to rear-area medical units by robotic stretchers. Ukraine also sank Russian ships using robotic kamikaze boats.
We're now officially living in the future (but not the future we were promised).
What Trump wants is a "deal" he can call a victory and then get the price of oil down to spark the American economy into a hot burn. But Iran knows this is exactly what he wants, and they will never give it to him.
What really has to be hit isn't power plants, which would hurt the population. What has to be hit is mosques where regime leadership is hiding, because they know we won't hit them.
And hospitals which also serve as regime headquarters. And the hospitals don't render treatment to anyone but regime leaders and wounded regime thugs, so nothing much lost if they're hit.
Obviously, hitting these targets would be extremely controversial. I understand why Trump isn't giving the order -- but I think the order has to be given to actually finish off the regime.
And if Trump doesn't want to do it: Give Israel the go code and promise to defend their striking of these hidden regime bases.
Otherwise, it's just this tit-for-tat bullshit forever, with oil prices remaining high and the GOP's standing degrading.
Postal Service won't deliver mail ballots for states that don't hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive
State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots.
That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting.
Crack down on illegal mail-in voting.
CNN is garbage and I can't wait until they're all fired.
If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections -- and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.
1, it's not supposed, and 2, this reveals that you did know the measure is intended to crack down on illegal mail-in voting, but chose to conceal that from readers out of a motive to propagandize for the Democrat Party and their legions of fake voters.
The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.
So far, 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia are suing, as are Democratic Party leaders and non-partisan voter advocacy groups, setting up a potentially active summer of high-stakes judicial rulings.
The Trump administration cleared an initial legal hurdle last month, when a federal judge in Washington, DC, who is overseeing one set of the cases, declined to block Trump's executive order, allowing the Postal Service to begin implementing it.
The Democratic Party groups are asking an appeals court to speed up its review of that decision, warning that voters around the country could be disenfranchised in this year's midterm elections if the proposal is not blocked.
In an interview with CNN, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat whose state is part of the coalition that filed a legal challenge in Boston, said that if courts rule for the Trump administration, "Then you will see a virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government."
Yes, "unless" states obey federal directives in an area the federal government does indeed have supremacy over state law.
Look: Just secede already. You're agitating for it and I, for one, would love to be rid of you.
Throughout the campaign, Nancy Mace kept arguing that Pamela Evette was claiming an endorsement that hadn’t occurred. At 2:05 p.m. on May 29, she posted on X, “Pamela Evette is NOT ENDORSED by DONALD TRUMP. Do not believe her LIES.” Her post included an AI-generated image of… pic.twitter.com/P2hN1XhoSQ
I tried to find her actual posts implying that she had Trump's endorsement -- and being Community Noted into oblivion -- but I can't find them now. I think she might have deleted them in embarrassment.
Like Thomas Massie and MTG, she cynically tried to ride the Epstein Files to victory, promising the QAnon contingent that she would finally validate all of their shapechanging conspiracy theories.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., on Tuesday seemed to leave open the door to remaining in public and political life after her fifth-place finish in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary.
Fifth in a six-man field.
"I will always be grateful for the people of South Carolina who trusted me, fought with me, and refused to look the other way. This isn't the end of the fight. It's just the end of this chapter," she said, without specifying future plans.
...
Mace appeared to blame her loss on her support for releasing the Epstein files.
"I voted to release the Epstein files and lost some support for that.
As a survivor, I chose to stand on principle and stand against the Epstein cover-up," she added. "I chose to expose the names hidden in the sexual harassment slush fund."
From the NY Post: She's really milking this "survivor" claim.
Mace attributed the snub to her support for releasing government documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
"I know I put the likelihood of an endorsement on the line when I demanded transparency on the Epstein files," Mace wrote on X. "I demanded it because you deserved the truth -- ALL OF IT -- and as a survivor of a corrupt and broken court system, I will always pursue justice for those who deserve it.
"If sacrificing my values is the price of an endorsement, I will never pay it."
Is she talking about those sketchy, vague claims that her then-fiance took videos of her when she was working out in the gym? Is that what she "survived"? I think I remember some other claims from when she was younger. But the fresh claims of being caught on surveillance cameras when fully dressed in a gym make me wonder very much about claims she has been abused but "survived" that abuse.
Nancy Mace does not have the emotional intelligence to hold the office she has much less to that which she aspires. This looks petty. Also, Mace used the Epstein case. She continues to use it as an excuse for her failure to get elected. Previously, she used it just like Massie,… https://t.co/DwcRcjlnXu
Nancy Mace does not have the emotional intelligence to hold the office she has much less to that which she aspires. This looks petty.
Also, Mace used the Epstein case. She continues to use it as an excuse for her failure to get elected. Previously, she used it just like Massie, who used it just like the Democrats. It was a drum to beat to make noise, gain attention, further political ambition.
Of course, this is what politicians do. We need statesmen, not politicians. We need people who for to serve the public, not public figures who merely call themselves a public servant in order to make personal ambition.
Surprisingly, it seems that the only other type of person that is fit for office other than statesmen is businessmen. That is why Trump is good. He sees problems and wants to fix them. Unfortunately, he has to get the support of politicians to make lasting changes.
All of these assholes blame the Epstein Files for their losses. That gets it backwards. They are all already in big trouble, and they cast about for some issue they would pull them out of the abyss. In the late innings, all of them chose to join the Democrats to pretend that Trump is in the Epstein Files and/or covering the Epstein Files up to protect Mossad.
I'm not a prude. I do have a sense of propriety, though.
She says she's honoring her pledge to serve only three terms in Congress... which sounds noble, except she never made that pledge.
She's trying to claim that she did the noble thing in failing to climb the political ladder.
There’s no public record anywhere of Nancy Mace ever pledging to serve only three terms, no speeches, no interviews, no filings, no campaign materials, and nothing on her official accounts. The only place that claim appears is this X account post. What is verifiable is this: the… https://t.co/xLYpzNfQVF
It's almost as if most of these votes were cast after Election Day, with Democrat "ballot harversters" knowing they needed many more votes for Nithya Raman to eliminate the one person they needed out of the race, Spencer Pratt.
Skid Row homeless claim they've been paid to vote for Karen Bass and Nithya Raman
By Jamie Paige and
Katie Jerkovich
A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles' Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.
The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.
The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post's revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn't live.
One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.
In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.
When asked whether he would also have been paid to vote for Raman, Shepherd answered "yes" and said Spencer Pratt was not among the candidates he was encouraged to support.
"They gave you an optional choice," Shepherd claimed, alleging the was offered $2 but negotiated for a higher payment and ultimately received $4.
Shepherd further claimed he completed a mail-in ballot for Bass and deposited it in a ballot box.
Skid Row resident, Rene Johnson, 39, also claimed she received $5 after being told to vote for Bass.
Johnson said she supported Bass, but told the creator she was still unclear about some of the forms she had completed.
"But, you know, at the time, I didn't know that that was going on," she said.
A person wearing sunglasses and a white t-shirt, standing outdoors with hands
"I was just trying to make five bucks, you know? But I didn't do the fraud."
When asked if she thought it was fraud, she said she thought that it was "fraudulent behavior."
She also said she thought people were being taken advantage of.
Another woman, who said she was living on the street, also claimed she accepted money to vote for Mayor Bass.
"It was like two bucks," the unidentified woman said, adding that "yeah they come out here all the time."
...
The creator said he spent about two hours speaking with residents, many of whom claimed voter-registration and outreach efforts were a routine part of life on Skid Row before Election Day.
Several residents alleged that groups regularly visited the area asking people to sign paperwork, though some acknowledged they did not fully understand what they were signing.
According to multiple residents interviewed on camera, outreach workers allegedly visited the area as often as three to five times a week before the election, with several organizations purportedly involved.
A fourth resident, identified as Mark Sanchez, claimed he had been approached repeatedly by political canvassers.
"To sign a petition for the mayor or different things in office and they paid me $4 or $5 in different accounts," Sanchez claimed.
Sanchez further alleged the payments occurred multiple times.
"It happened more than four or five times," he claimed.
...
A Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America openly promotes a guide instructing volunteers on how to encourage voters to cast ballots on the spot and hand them over for delivery.
The practice, commonly known as ballot harvesting, is legal in California but remains highly controversial. The guide, titled "How To: Ballot Delivery," was published by the Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America in May 2022 and remains available online.
The instructions provide a step-by-step process for collecting completed mail ballots and urge volunteers to repeatedly press voters to submit them immediately. "Will you vote now?" the guide tells volunteers to ask, before adding: "Ask at least 3 times."
The California Post reached out to Bass and Raman campaign for further comment but did not hear back.
More regarding the many "votes" "harvested" from homeless shelters where the "votes" collected greatly exceeded the number of homeless living there.
Thousands of homeless voters were registered to vote at LA shelters -- despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds.
And as Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor's race on Monday night, it can be revealed that one drop-in center that received $600,000 from the socialist candidate had 185 registered voters at the address but offers no accommodations.
The revelations have prompted US Attorney Bill Essayli to say he will investigate the concerns uncovered by The Post and "follow the evidence" to see if the law has been broken.
A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers.
Among them was St. Joseph Center in Venice, a homeless services drop-in center with 185 registered voters tied to its address. The organization received a $600,000 taxpayer-funded grant awarded by Raman while she chaired the City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee.
...
The largest concentration of homeless voters was at the Midnight Mission in Skid Row, where voting records show 1,160 registrations -- but its website shows it only has beds for 84 men and 36 women.
One homeless man on Skid Row, Norman, said he's witnessed voter registration efforts in the area for years and claims he had previously been paid to help sign up voters -- and that cigarettes were offered to some people during the drives.
...
Outside the Midnight Mission on Monday afternoon, The Post met with Bo Jackson, who is registered to vote but says he could not remember registering -- and couldn't even name a candidate in the LA mayor's race.
The Post asked Midnight Mission staff for comment on how ballots are handled when they arrive at the shelter, but our reporter was kicked out and was left without a response.

It looks like Karen Bass was illegally elected by the homeless population of Skid Row in Los Angeles, CA.
Every single homeless person was paid to vote for a Democrat. They came up to 3x a week to pay for votes.

California is very much in the news courtesy - this week - of the obvious chicanery involving the LA primary election. There is another reason that has ebbed and flowed over the past year, and that is California's (actually, the SEIU's) proposed "billionaire tax" that is on the ballot this autumn. This proposed "tax" is a simple expropriation. The tax scheme as proposed is fairly straightforwad. If someone has a net worth over $1.1 billion, California will confiscate 5% of his net worth. If someone has a net worth of between $1.0 and $1.1 billion, California will confiscate slightly less of his net worth. When the tax is due, he can pay the entire sum in full, or he can spread payments out over 5 years - with interest. The money will go to fund "shortfalls" due to Federal or state budget cuts to medical (Medi-Cal), food (CalFresh) or school budgets.
Set aside whether wealth expropriation is just or legal or proper. Set aside whether the primary medical services union sponsoring a ballot initiative to confiscate assets and transfer them to the medical industry is a conflict of interest. Set aside whether the confiscation will raise as much money as expected. Set aside whether the money raised will actually go where it is supposed to rather than be stolen. Set aside widespread fraud in these programs, and whether throwing more money at them is sensible. Set aside unintended consequences on capital structure. Set aside the risks of forced liquidation. Set aside all of the very real objections to such a scheme and consider what this would actually accomplish even if it works exactly as promised.
Medi-Cal is projected to lose up to $19 billion in annual federal funding due to the implementation of the most recent federal budget legislation and
administrative action, shifting costs to the state General Fund and local governments or forcing reductions in needed services. Over the next ten years, federal cuts to Medi-Cal alone are projected to total approximately $190 billion.
The loss of billions in federal funding further stresses California's already underfunded health care safety net. The 2025-26 state budget included several new restrictions, including cuts to providers and significant reductions in benefits and services for Medi-Cal enrollees. State cuts to Medi-Cal are estimated to reach $7 billion in 2027-28, rising to $8.6 billion each year from 2028-29 onward.
California has around 200 billionaires who collectively possess an astonishing $2 trillion in wealth. ...
Ninety percent shall be allocated to the Billionaire Tax Health Account for health care funding ...
Ten percent shall be allocated to the Billionaire Tax Education and Food Assistance Account for education-related and food assistance expenditures ...
A taxpayer owing any additional tax imposed under this Section shall have the option either to (1) pay any tax due under this Part along with any income tax owed for the 2026 tax year; or (2) pay annually in five equal installments commencing in the year the tax is due, with each subsequent annual installment payment also being subject to an annual nondeductible deferral charge of 7.5 percent of the remaining unpaid balance.
There's more, of course. The proposal has plenty of other conditions and definitions, including a couple of favorites around how net worth is to be determined and how, despite the fact that this would cause forced selling, values are determined based on calculated voluntary sale values in ideal markets. It's actually somewhat fascinating and the whole proposal is worth reading in a "through the looking glass" kind of way, but the basics are in the excerpts above. That's all the variables and the rest is simple algebra.
Per the proposal, the new confiscation will affect around 200 people with about $2 trillion in net worth. Much of that is unrealized (it's stocks, bonds, other equity positions, real property, etc.), but whatever. The proposed 5% tax on $2 trillion in combined assets amounts to $100 billion, assuming perfect compliance, no carve-outs or exemptions, no problems with liquidation, etc. If nobody pays in full and instead everyone takes the more expensive option of paying over five years, that is actually quite a bit more rake-off for the state. It would be $20 billion in the first year, $26 billion in the second year, $24.5 billion in the third year, $23 billion in the fourth year and $21.5 billion in the fifth year for a total of $115 billion. The best-case scenario for the state is new receipts of $115 billion over five years from this one-time expropriation. 90% of that, or $103.5 billion, goes to Medi-Cal. In the best case scenario.
And, of course, if you expect this to raise as much as expected, and for there to be no losses, and for the money to go where it is supposed to, and for fraud to be a non-issue, and for these programs to otherwise be contained and well-managed, well, pull the other one. It jingles. But even that is beside the point. Per their own numbers, this proposal handles "shortfalls" in Medi-Cal for around five years. Even in a vacuum where everything works perfectly with no negative consequences foreseen or unforeseen, this buys a few years for Medi-Cal. That's it. It solves no problems, it just defers them and not even for very long. This basic problem is not an uncommon one in government finance. Fix real problems? Nah. Solving problems is boring and gores somebody's oxen. Just steal it and call it justice! I have no sympathy for California's billionaires - they climbed into bed with these people and if they get the clap, well, they should have chosen better bed-mates - but it will be interesting to see how far the next "one-time" expropriation goes when five years turns into two or three.
If it happens at all, anyway. Whether California's ambitious new stopgap will work is not the question. It won't. It will raise nothing like as much as expected and it will be spent far faster than expected and much of it will be stolen. No bookie would take a bet otherwise. The question is just whether it passes. It's on the ballot in November, and we all know what that means. With the outlandish and obvious manipulations going on in the LA primary, it has become clear even to those who don't pay much attention that "ballots" in California say whatever the Party wants them to say. Whether this passes depends entirely and exclusively on whether the Party wants it to. That's up in the air and the Party is not unified on the issue, but it will be before November.
And by then the ballots will show, as they always do in banana republics, whatever the Party wants them to show.

Newsom's trail of destruction won't serve him well to say the least in the run-up to 2028 but considering the direction and mindset of the Democrat base, the prediction or wishcasting that that party and its movement are being abandoned may be just that.

In any case with contenders like Newsom, Chlamydia Harris and Titty-Caca Ocasio Cortez already in the mix, look who is now being pimped: the moral equivalent of Alien chest-burster ass cancer:

A new poll suggests that more than half of Democrats don’t like the U.S. or even want to live here, and it does seem like we’ve reached a fork in the road. The Democrats want a more socialist society with the government running more and more of our affairs. The funny thing is that most Democrat young people have never actually lived in a country like that, say Cuba, but they have fallen in love with whatever their college professor has told them about the socialist utopia. Another big difference is getting married and having kids, another point where the two sides don’t see eye to eye.. . So here we are. It does seem like we’ve reached that famous fork in the road, or a moment of decision.
Indeed, and our as in the GOP's response is illustrated this way . . . because besides this horrid oyster cracka we also have to likely endure the other cracker, in the mangled parlance of Trayvon's faked-inamorata Rachel Jeantel, the crazy-ass cracker (shift the hyphen) the crazy ass-cracker Lindsay Graham the bottom who came out on top yet again in South Carolina.
Attempted Beheading in Belfast... Celebrate diversity!
Anyone who is older than about 20 should be able to remember a time when we did not see, ever, stories of this kind in Europe or North America. What has changed, and what can we do about it now?
LBC reported Tuesday that “a stab victim is in serious condition in hospital after a gruesome knife attack in a street in Belfast. In harrowing video posted online, an attacker can be seen straddling the bloodied victim’s neck armed with a knife.”
It might have been taken down by the time you read this, but as of this writing on Tuesday morning, you can find the video here. The perpetrator “stabs the victim in the head repeatedly before taking the knife to the man’s neck, before members of the public rush over to stop the attack. Bystanders can be heard screaming in the clip: ‘He’s trying to cut his head off.’”
Lest we forget what happened about 10 years ago in Manchester to British army soldier Lee Rigby who was beheaded in broad daylight in the middle of the street. might have an ocean between us and the soon to be Islamized Europe but of course we have tens of thousands of head-choppers and that number in many multiples of their cheerleaders already here.
The repeat offender who stabbed Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death aboard a Charlotte, N.C., commuter train last year is incompetent to stand trial, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. . . In the August attack, Brown appeared to select Zarutska almost at random, stabbing her repeatedly in the neck from behind before casually getting off at the next stop. Zarutska died almost immediately, apparently confused, and then with a look of tragic understanding on her face before she collapsed, unattended and uncomforted by any of the other passengers. The murder, caught on video, shocked the world.
If it had really shocked the world . . . I don't want to complete that sentence.

A South Florida man has filed a lawsuit against a Central Florida airboat tour company after an alligator bit him in the face during an attraction last summer, according to court records.
The lawsuit states that Edil Kasenov visited Airboat Rides at Midway in Christmas, Florida, in June 2025 and participated in the company’s free “Alligator Encounter” experience.

Court documents state that the alligator bit him while he was participating in the attraction. The lawsuit further argues that the business failed to maintain a reasonably safe environment for guests.
As a result of the incident, Kasenov is seeking more than $50,000 in damages. The case remains pending.
For most of human history, you were either a child or an adult. The word “teenager” first entered the lexicon in 1913, appropriately enough, but it wasn’t until decades later that it took on its current significance. The ages spanning 13 to 19 are formative no matter what you call them, but three developments in the mid-20th century had a major influence on the creation of the modern teenager.
The first was the move toward compulsory education, which got adolescents out of farms and factories and into high school, where they spent more time among their peers. The second was the economic boom that followed World War II, which created a new, highly sought-after demographic for companies and advertisers. And the third was the widespread adoption of cars among American families, which afforded 16-year-olds unprecedented independence.
Because one generation criticizing — and, to a certain extent, fearing — the next is a tale as old as time, not everyone was thrilled about this. In 1953, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI published a report warning that “the nation can expect an appalling increase in the number of crimes that will be committed by teenagers in the years ahead.”

The Left, Which Has Propagandized Against Childbirth and For the Self-Extiction of the Human Race for 50 Years, Wonders Why People Aren't Having Babies Any Longer
The New York Times looks right past their own relentless anti-childbirth propaganda and names "cell phones" as the disruptor.
Now, thare's some truth in that -- in that the cell phone is The Regime's greatest achievement, a mobile, personal, 24/7/364 portal to Regime propaganda.
Why Are Birthrates Down? Two New Studies Point to Phones.
Modern smartphones rolled out in 2007, the year that fertility rates began falling. Two studies say that is not a coincidence.
The enduring mystery of the fertility decline has a new culprit: the smartphone.
Experts have long wondered if phones played a role in the birthrate decline -- which began in 2007, the same year that Apple introduced the iPhone -- but until now there had not been hard evidence to prove it.
Two new papers, one published Monday and the other in May, are the first academic endeavors that test whether the smartphone was a cause.
They are the most recent efforts to explain the sweeping fertility rate decline in the United States and other countries over the past 20 years. Researchers have already looked at contraception use, abortion rates, rising levels of female education and even the popular television show "16 and Pregnant."
Proving phones caused the decline is a tricky endeavor. There were a number of major events in those years, including the Great Recession, and isolating smartphone use is difficult.
The gold standard for scientific evidence is known as random assignment. It compares outcomes for people randomly chosen to receive a treatment (like getting a smartphone) with people who are not.
But that is not possible when it comes to ferreting out reasons for declining fertility.
So researchers sought out data about smartphones that introduced randomness.
Caitlin Myers, an economist at Middlebury College, and Ezekiel Hooper, her student, used the spotty early rollout of the iPhone as a way to isolate the effects of the phone on fertility. The first iPhone was released in June 2007, they wrote, and was available only on the AT&T network until February 2011. The study compared fertility rates in U.S. counties that had near-universal AT&T coverage with counties that had little or none.
Their paper, published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that the iPhone caused as much as half of the fertility decline between 2007 and 2011. The most pronounced effects were among young people aged 15 to 24.
What happened in the counties with iPhones? One theory, Professor Myers said, is that young people began to socialize more on their phones and less in person, and consequently were less likely to have sex and become pregnant.
And what messages did they get over their cellphones 24/7? Constant crisis, constant fear, constant messaging that the world was ending and it was all due to human births, constant messaging in favor of hook-up culture and abortion and, for the boys, pornography, and constant messaging against marriage, the family, and humanity itself.
And then they wonder: Why are women under 40 barren by their own decisions and actions?

By the way, the organization that calls all Republicans "Nazis" and gets them debanked and hunted by leftwing assassins can't comment on Gerald Platner's Nazi tattoo.

Karmelo Anthony breaks down in tears as he heard verdict. We have not taken a break. Karmelo has been walked out of the court. Karmelo's mother is also sobbing in her seat.
Extraordinary moment just now: Karmelo's lawyer asked if he could take his client somewhere to pull himself together. Judge responded Karmelo has been found guilty is now in the custody of the sheriff. 'Things move differently now,' judge said.
Do they really think things are that far gone that they can just murder innocent people and then ask to be let go so they can calm themselves down with a fidget-spinner and pot?
CBS News boss Bari Weiss is likely to gain editorial oversight of CNN if and when Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is approved, according to a report.
Paramount executives are said to have held preliminary discussions with several candidates who would come in and run the business-side operations next to Weiss while she continues to oversee editorial.
The company is considering several big names, including current CNN CEO Mark Thompson, NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde and former NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim, Axios reported.
Ben Sherwood, currently CEO of Daily Beast, and former CBS News president David Rhodes are also under consideration, according to the report.
The search implies that once the merger goes through, Weiss will also be put in charge of CNN's editorial operations, Axios said.
...
According to Axios, Ellison couldn't be more pleased with Weiss' performance thus far.
"The Paramount brass loves Bari Weiss," a source told the news site.
"She has the full confidence of David Ellison, who believes Bari has done a fantastic job as editor-in-chief."
...
Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has not yet closed, though both companies have said they expect the roughly $110 billion deal to be completed in the third quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals and any legal challenges.
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders have already approved the transaction, but the merger still faces scrutiny from antitrust regulators and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who has said his office is reviewing the deal.
thanks to runner.
Fake Tapper knows that, like Pott Smelley, he'll be one of the first overpaid prima donna Theater Kid jokes to be fired by Bari Weiss, so he's preparing his Heroic Flounce.
CNN's The Lead host Jake Tapper leaned on his sanctimonious reputation late Wednesday afternoon as he devoted the first 14 minutes to huffing about CBS News firing longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley for his petulant reenactment of Pickett's Charge, thinking he could eviscerate his bosses and intimidate them in his "house."
For the second of three segments, Tapper turned to former ABC colleague Terry Moran and former CBS January 6 correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch host Scott MacFarlane. Both are now at Substack.
MacFarlane went first, declaring "[n]obody wins if 60 Minutes is damaged" because "[i]t's still one of those rare media entities, Jake, that can cut through the noise and cut through the clutter."
[Disgraced fake "journalist" now working for a Biden political PAC McFarlane] then embarrassingly referred to Pelley as "the living Mount Rushmore at CBS News" and that, speaking for himself, he wasn't known at CBS as "Scott" because that name had "reverence" reserved for Pelley.
"I'm surprised that anybody would get rid of a transcendent personality who can attract an audience or who is associated with the strength of a brand. You watch Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes. You knew you were going to get a comprehensive report. You never want to damage a brand by getting rid of the pillar of the entity," he further opined.
Scott Pelley was fired by CBS from the "anchor" position by Ben Rhodes' brother David Rhodes. For months, Rhodes schemed about how to solve "the Scott Pelley problem," as Sheryl Attkisson reported. She said that Pelley was "unpopular" at CBS because of his domineering incompetence, insisting on rewriting and censoring reporters' stories after, emptilly, assuring them that their reports would be the "stars" of the show.
She also made this funny quip about his preening, Look At Me ego:
Sharyl Attkisson
@SharylAttkisson
Perhaps David Bloom put it best. "When Scott Pelley gets in line at Starbucks and orders coffee, he doesn't order what he really wants. He orders what he wants people behind him to hear him order."
Mount Rushmore? Seriously?
MacFarlane at least conceded much of 60 Minutes's large ratings are owed to its lead-in from NFL games.
...
The only explanation, [disgraced partisan lightweight fairy Terry Moran] argued, for the changes to the show are from Paramount Skydance boss David Ellison "want[ing] to curry favor with Trump."
Drool was missing from Moran's shirt as he said this about Pelley's fellow fired colleagues: "They fired Cecilia Vega and Sharon Alfonso, two fearless, bold journalists, troublemakers. I mean, in a good way, good trouble, right, as John Lewis used to say."
I can't help noticing they only made trouble for one political movement.
Tapper presented MacFarlane with the reality that "polls do suggest that the media trust is at an all-time low" and wondered if he saw any validity in that widespread belief in legacy media having "an anti-Trump spin, liberal spin."
MacFarlane scoffed, deriding the idea that those polls are legitimate or provide context:
Former CBS correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch pundit Scott MacFarlane scoffs at the notion found in polls Americans don’t trust the media...
“I would venture the bold prediction that, if Americans were surveyed about the trustworthiness of 60 Minutes, it may have more support and… pic.twitter.com/PWaLEOKTia
Moran hurled predictable venom in his heart for half the country, arguing we're too partisan and stupid to appreciate what he believes is real journalism: "I think chasing MAGA audiences are a fool's errand because they don't want the kind of journalism that 60 Minutes does, which is in-depth and straight and fearless. They want the journalism that flatters their own prejudices."
Fired ABC correspondent-turned-Substack host Terry Moran says Scott Pelley’s firing from CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ is “a fire bell in the night” about press freedom from corporate interference and that anyone in legacy media appealing to “MAGA audiences” is “a fool’s errand” because… pic.twitter.com/jLHKuRgBNT

WATCH: CNN's Jake Tapper opens his show with over 14 minutes melting down over CBS News, Bari Weiss, and Nick Bilton firing Scott Pelley....
Tapper: "Now, let's zoom out for a second to look at the core issues here and why this larger 60 Minutes overhaul may be happening because this story is relevant...
"[T]his is also a story of media consolidation and those who are trying to build big mega-companies in the environment where we have a President who is more than willing to impose his likes and dislikes on the regulatory world. Now, people close to Bari Weiss insists that the CBS overhaul is about culture, not politics. They think that 60 Minutes is an archaic institution that is in urgent need of reinvention. Bari Weiss argues that the news media needs to be fairer and needs to regain the public's trust, and her boss, David Ellison, says that CBS News needs to appeal to the 70 percent of the country that is in the political middle."
"On the other hand, what 60 Minutes defenders see as its strengths, the Bari Weiss individuals and executives see as potential shortcomings, and they're determined to rebuild this news magazine for a digital world in a vertical video age. But Scott Pelley and others at CBS, and others who used to be at CBS do think there's something more, something political behind this rebuild. They say that Paramount's new owners, with David Ellison at the top, are seeking a closer relationship with Donald Trump and his administration and that Ellison appointed Weiss to appease Trump and overhaul 60 Minutes, which Trump doesn't like, and all of CBS News, which Trump doesn't like."
"And this argument goes that all of this is happening in order to get approval of the purchase of Paramount last year by David Ellison's company and the pending purchase of Warner Bros Discovery any day now. And of course, we should note Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN. If you want to know one of the reasons why people keep suggesting that new ownership of these news organizations is behind wanting to curry favor with Trump, and that's one of the things driving all this, it's because of things that President Trump keeps saying, or Secretary Haggseff, just a few moments ago, President Trump said this to CNN's Kaitlin Collins...."
...
TAPPER: "A reminder that President Trump calls any reporting he doesn't like felt -- false, and any reporting he doesn't like garbage. Again, CBS News and Paramount reject the assertion of any political influence or interference."
So that's Fake Jake accusing Bari Weiss and Larry Ellison of making MAGA TV. He covers it with some he-said, she-said, but it's clear -- based on the number of words he devotes to each proposition, for one thing -- which side he's claiming is the truth.

Breaking: Psychopathic Race-Murderer Karmelo Anthony Convicted of Brutal Killing of Innocent Athlete "Protesters," Get This, Begin Punching People; Police Are Arresting the Thugs
A Texas jury on Tuesday found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet last year, concluding a closely watched trial that drew national attention over questions of race, self-defense and school safety.
The Collin County jury deliberated for about three hours before returning its unanimous verdict. The same jury will now decide Anthony's sentence. Under Texas law, a murder conviction is punishable by five to 99 years in state prison.
...
The case stems from a confrontation at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco on April 2, 2025, where Anthony, then a student at Frisco Centennial High School, and Metcalf, a student-athlete at Frisco Memorial High School, clashed under a team tent where athletes had gathered during inclement weather. The altercation ended when Metcalf was stabbed in the chest. Medical examiner testimony at trial revealed that Metcalf had been stabbed through the heart, with a two-inch wound described as "gaping."
Prosecutors characterized the stabbing as a provoked, unjustified "sneak attack" inside the team tent, while the defense argued it was a split-second act of self-defense born of fear and chaos. Anthony did not testify in his own defense.
...
Anthony, now 19, was convicted in Collin County District Court in McKinney. The sentencing phase, to be decided by the same jury, was expected to begin promptly given the speed of deliberations.

Keep arresting!
Police are SWIFTLY trying to quell and violence and unrest 🙏🏻

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate. Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."
Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.
"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."
I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.
A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.
And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.
Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.
Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.
Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars Gee I wonder where they might have met Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
