The Week In Woke

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Everybody is Insane @colorblindk1d
The New York Times ran a piece on their homepage about a guy getting deported even though he had lived in the US since a teenager and had been here for 20 years, and waited until the end of the article to mention that 19 of those years were spent in prison for murder.

"Bioethicist:" drinking milk is Nazi (cuz it's white).

I would like to enter into evidence Exhibit A: Bioethics Professor at New York University, Arthur Caplan. As with most bioethics experts, we can stipulate based on undisputed public statements by Professor Caplan that he is ignorant of when life begins, so he supports abortion. He also does not know the difference between the DNA structure of a man and the DNA structure of a woman, so he believes in transgerderism. Others may argue that killing and mutilating human beings is an act of malice, but a) that does not disqualify anyone from being a bioethicist, and b) there is no rule that a professor has to be born with common sense or even a brain.
His ignorance of basic biology in these areas is not the point. It is more about his knowledge of chemistry. Under consideration is his public assessment of the properties of whole milk. "Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well," he wrote in his blog. "I am suspicious. Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking. In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging in tweets, memes, and videos."

Per Google's AI digest, he finds RFKJr.'s and MAHA's preference for whole milk, with mlkfats included, is actually a Nazi Plot.

Bioethicist Arthur Caplan has argued that the recent, high-profile promotion of whole milk by certain political figures is linked to white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and eugenicist ideologies . Key details regarding this argument include:
The Argument: Caplan suggests that the push for whole milk in schools is not just about nutrition, but acts as a "dog whistle" for far-right, white nationalist, and fascist groups.
Historical Context: Caplan notes that the Nazi regime was, in fact, "enamored" with whole milk as part of their ideology.
Modern Political Context: Caplan has connected this rhetoric to the promotion of whole milk by figures in the Trump administration and others, arguing that the effort is tainted by racism.
Reception: Critics have labeled this argument as "woke nonsense," arguing that the efforts are solely intended to improve health, not to promote bigotry.

In a February 2026 post, Caplan specifically referred to milk as a "symbol of neo-Nazi hate" and a "long standing obsession of fascists".

Remember about eight years ago 4chan was doing pranks where they claimed various outrageous things were "Nazi code" to get the media (and the very smart professors) to repeat these made-up lies? Well, one of those hoaxes was the claim that White Supremacists drink white milk to signal their allegiance to each other.

And now? A "bioethicist" claims it's really real, man.

The so-called "godfather of evidence-based medicine" is asked why he signed a statement calling genital mutilation for children "medically necessary" despite a complete lack of evidence. First he denies he signed such a statement, then concedes he signed it, because he hadn't bothered to read it first.

Me: "Why did you sign a statement calling 'gender affirming care' for minors medically necessary?"

Godfather of evidence-based medicine: "WHAT! That's RIDICULOUS! If you can find the words medically necessary in my statement I'll have to jump off a bridge."

Food for thought:

Wesley Yang @wesyang
Transgenderism is an ongoing project of attempting to normalize a bizarre subculture built around esoteric pseudo-medical practices from the outermost fringe of human extremity and make it compulsory for every American to join that subculture and to make that subculture the mainstream culture of the Western world. One requires only the most cursory understanding of the pioneering figures responsible for the mainstreaming of transgenderism -- who they were and what their motives were -- to understand this as a matter of certainty.

It is as if ascetics who scourge themselves with whips in public or amputee fetishists began teaching their beliefs to young schoolchildren and recruiting them to join their ranks. One is forced into the strange position of referencing practices that are not more bizarre than transgenderism -- that are indeed arguably less bizarre -- to make an analogy in an attempt to restore some semblance of sanity and proportionality to our thinking about this. The normalization has already gone far enough that the whole culture suffers from vertigo where it is unable to orient itself in space or time.

Giving the same off-label cancer drugs that are used to chemically castrate adult sex offenders to pubescent children who have been brainwashed to fear the decisive stage of mental, physical, and emotional maturation that resolves gender dysphoria in children in most cases is self-evidently an act of madness and medicalized child abuse unmatched by anything in the history of modern medicine. It took the self-lobotomization of the American professional and managerial classes for our truth-seeking apparatus not to see this fact that is self-evident to any normal person with normal human instincts.

This self-lobotomization occurred across mainstream institutions of all kinds -- all it required was the incantation of a few odious euphemisms, the manipulation of rewards and punishments, and confident claims by various authorities that self-evidently ludicrous claims were in fact settled science.

Now we are in phase one of recognizing that there was never any science to any of it.

It was all a lie told by cultists who managed to infiltrate and corrupt society's knowledge-generating, certifying, and enforcement apparatus -- it was the most outrageous of all such possible lies, so outrageous that nobody could believe that anyone would attempt it, much less succeed, unless there was some actual substance behind it, some real grounds for epistemic and moral confidence. There was none.

Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet
To understand this, I think we need to remember the famous quote by Theodore Dalyrimple:

"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control."

Dalyrimple did not foresee at the time he wrote that that the emasculation would in many cases become literal as well as figurative.

The point of transgenderist propaganda isn't to persuade, but to degrade, humiliate, and destroy.

Science: Statistical Analysis Shows That Electing a Republican as DA Immediately Reduces the Murder Rate in Cities

Meanwhile, in California, they just released an old pedophile "monster" who raped multiple children aged six or less out of compassion for poor old aged criminals.

Child predator dubbed 'monster parents fear most' cleared for release through California parole program David Allen Funston was convicted of kidnapping and sexually assaulting multiple children younger than 7 in the 1990s

Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper tells Fox News Digital the convicted child predator cleared under California's elderly parole program is 'a definite danger to the community' and questions how the parole board reached its decision.

A California child molester once described by a judge as "the monster parents fear the most" has been cleared for release under the state's elderly parole program, a decision local law enforcement says puts communities at risk and prosecutors are now scrambling to stop.

David Allen Funston, 64, was sentenced in 1999 after a Sacramento County jury found him guilty of 16 felony counts for a series of abductions involving children younger than 7.

Funston received more than 20 years in prison plus three consecutive terms of 25 years to life. After serving more than two decades behind bars, he became eligible for consideration under California's Elderly Parole Program.

CDCR said that, on Jan. 12, 2026, Gov. Gavin Newsom referred the case back to the Board of Parole Hearings for further review by a majority of appointed commissioners. At a Feb. 18, 2026 meeting, the board panel reaffirmed its decision, recommending that Funston receive parole.

...

"He's a definite danger to the community, and he's not rehabilitated," Cooper told Fox News Digital.

Cooper said he personally reviewed the original case reports and victim statements and questioned how the parole board could reach a different conclusion.

"What's ironic is the parole board read the same reports that I'm reading," Cooper said. "How the hell did they come to that conclusion versus what I came to?"

...

He also pushed back on the premise that turning 50 automatically makes someone safe to release.

"Fifty is not old," Cooper said. "We know a lot of 50-year-olds. Everyone does."

Cooper noted that many people in their 50s and 60s are still working and active, underscoring that someone released at 64 is not necessarily frail or incapacitated and could be fully functioning in the community.

50 year olds are now "elderly" for purposes of California's pro-criminal lobby releasing child rapists from prison?!?!

In more crime news: So much Cultural Enrichment I can't take it.

In the quiet suburbs of Greenv>ille, North Carolina, Alex T. lived a peaceful life as a mechanic in his mid-forties. Like many, he minded his own business, and he believed that his locked doors would protect him from evil lurking in his community. He thought wrong.

Three men pried open a window and ambushed Mr. T. in his sleep. Two were illegals from Mexico with no prior U.S. criminal records. They bound him, and then -- for hours -- they beat him severely, sodomized him, and just for good measure, they ripped out his fingernails with pliers from his own toolbox.

Alex endured unimaginable torture with no means of fighting back. He survived only because he eventually crawled to his phone and called 911. Hospitalized with serious injuries, he faces a long recovery.

The attackers were arrested and now face charges including first-degree forcible sexual assault, kidnapping, burglary, and use of a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. ICE has placed detainers on the two undocumented suspects. Expect the same if the third perp comes back as an illegal as well.

[Fox:]
DHS added that the "two sexual perverts and violent thugs" unleashed a series of horrific attacks despite having no known criminal record in the U.S.

The Soros prosecutor in Manhattan of course released the 27 year old armed robber "kid" who assaulted police without charges:

Leftwing Groomer Netflix Bows Out, "Trump-Aligned" Paramount to Win Battle for Warner Bros./Discovery

—Disinformation Expert Ace

I don't know why they'd want it. This feels like trying to swallow a big jagged bone.

Netflix Backs Out of Warner Bros. Bidding, Paramount Set to Win

In a stunning twist, the streaming giant's co-CEOs say the major studio "was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price."

In a stunning twist, Netflix is declining to raise its bid for Warner Bros., positioning David Ellison's Paramount as the winner in the battle for the fabled studio.

Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters released a statement Thursday outlining their decision, namely that the deal is "no longer financially attractive" and that it "was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price."

"The transaction we negotiated would have created shareholder value with a clear path to regulatory approval. However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid," the co-CEOs said.

...

With Netflix out, Paramount's latest bid is almost a sure thing to be accepted by the Warners board, which determined earlier Thursday that it was a "superior proposal" to Netflix's deal.

...

PSKY's latest proposal was for $31 per share, but had a number of other sweeteners, including a ticking fee payable to shareholders equal to $0.25 per quarter beginning after Sept. 30, 2026, as well as a $7 billion regulatory termination in the event the transaction does not close due to regulatory matters.

Paramount has also agreed to pay the $2.8 billion termination fee that Warner Bros. would be required to pay to Netflix to terminate the existing merger agreement.

Doesn't Warner Discovery come with $80 billion in debt from the last acquisition?

People are spending billions to own $80 billion in debt plus the right to remake Lord of the Rings in ten years. Which will fail.

i completely forgot about CNN. It's a very easy thing to forget, because its latest ratings are 6. Not a six rating, six people.

But staffers at CNN are reportedly in "a panic."

Mood is 'horrific' inside CNN as staffers brace for change amid potential Paramount takeover, insiders say Netflix backing out of bid for Warner Bros Discovery paves way for CNN to fall under David Ellison's control

The mood inside CNN was "horrific" on Friday as network leadership sought to calm fears of anxious staffers, with parent company Warner Bros. Discovery appearing set to hand control of the network to Paramount CEO David Ellison.

...

"The mood is horrific," a CNN insider told Fox News Digital. "People are very upset."

...
A second CNN insider told Fox News Digital that staffers feel "a mix of despair, apprehension and curiosity."

...

A second insider said the two main concerns are "job loss" and "editorial indifference," noting the former "greatly outranks" the latter. Specifically, CNN staffers worry about a potential "bloodbath" if CBS News and CNN were to merge.

...

The first CNN insider is trying to keep an "open mind" but said it's easy to understand why staffers are upset given the reporting on Ellison and Trump discussing changes.

"It's existential for the brand to be owned by an individual who has personal allegiance to a political figure and is not even answering to public markets," they told Fox News Digital.

"But -- I mean what I'm saying. It's not just me trying to take a deep breath. I truly believe we can only react to what is, not what might be," they continued. "And we have no idea what the world will look like when this closes."

Waaah, Oliver Darcy reports on the Sads! and A-scareds! of his former colleagues at CNN:

Brian Stelter said two very funny things. Noting that Larry Ellison wants a fair and fact-based news outlet, Stelter said, hilariously, "That sounds like CNN."

It sure does, Tater. It sure does.

But he also worries about whether Ellison will allow CNN to keep the, giggle, "editorial independence that CNN is known for."

Surprise! Even as Fani Willis and Her Monster Box Pursued Trump on Specious RICO Charges, Biden Encouraged Her to Apply for Free Federal Graft-Money

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Weird how the Biden Administration targeted its political enemies and also paid off its Soviet Secret Police using taxpayer funds.

As Georgia prosecutor pursued Trump, Biden DOJ 'invited' her to get lucrative grant, memos show
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' records, turned over to Just the News after an open records lawsuit, show her office received millions of dollars from the Biden Justice Department as she built her case against then-former President Donald Trump.

The Biden Justice Department "invited" Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to apply for a lucrative sole-source grant in 2022 at the same time that she was pursuing an election interference investigation against Donald Trump, the eventual GOP competitor to President Joe Biden, internal correspondence obtained by Just the News reveals.

"I want to document your recognition of our progress and services provided with dynamic partners, as we complete sole source steps for our new grant award, a grant in which you invited us to apply," Willis wrote to Justice Department Senior Policy Advisor Scott Pestridge in the Office of Justice Programs in December 2022.

The district attorney was highlighting the Justice Department's 2022 Office of Justice Programs Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative grant, from which her office ultimately received $2,000,000 to implement its programs, agency records show.

That award, which was opened in April 2022 as a competitive grant, appears to have been provided to Fulton County as the "sole source," according to the district attorney. The Justice Department defines a sole source procurement as "noncompetitive," meaning no other entity competed against Fulton for the award.

...

Both [Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq.] and Willis [and her roomy, spacious 8x12 box] faced scrutiny in 2023 after their romantic relationship was exposed in court by a lawyer for one of the Trump allies charged in the Georgia case. Financial records showed that Willis hired her romantic partner to prosecute Trump and paid him more than $600,000 in legal fees while they were in a relationship.

And from Paul Sperry:

NEW: Fulton County officials falsely claimed no ballots existed four (4) times in response to requests by elections watchdog, VoterGA, for copies of 2020 ballots; yet the ballots it asked for "were the same 2020 ballots that the FBI seized on Jan. 28, 2026, at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Warehouse in Fairburn, Georgia," noted VoterGA founder Garland Favorito

Trump, GOP Push "Dahlia's Law" to Block Illegal Aliens from Getting Commercial (Tractor Truck) Drivers Licenses; Democrat Says That the Injuries Suffered by the Child Dahlia by the Third-World Driver Are No Big Deal

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Dahlia is one of the lucky ones -- she survived her encounter with Third-World Highway Safety Protocols, albeit with serious injuries.

Many other Americans are not so lucky.

A GOP Senator answered Trump's call to pass Dahlia's law, and introduced it in the Senate.

Sen. Jim Banks is moving swiftly to carry out President Trump's call from the State of the Union, introducing the "Dalilah Law" just one day after the president urged Congress to bar states from issuing commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
Trump used his nationally televised address to press lawmakers on a range of border and public safety measures. Among them was what he said should be a clear federal standard: no state should be permitted to hand out CDLs to individuals in the country unlawfully. The president tied that demand to the case of 6-year-old Dalilah Coleman, whose life was permanently altered after a 2024 crash involving a semi-truck driven by a man who had entered the United States illegally.

Banks formalized that request Wednesday.

The Indiana Republican's bill would restrict CDLs to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain foreign nationals holding valid work visas. It would also require that CDL tests be administered exclusively in English and mandate the revocation of commercial trucking licenses previously issued to illegal aliens or individuals granted Temporary Protected Status, regardless of whether they possess work permits.

By the way, this doesn't really raise any federalism concerns, because the federal government has always had, as it must have, exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce and travel.

If these left-wing third-world states want to issue purely intrastate CDLs, so that third-world terrorists can murder American citizens in their states alone, they can do so.

But the CDLs are granted to give the foreign savages carte blanche to drive 50-ton trucks across the country. Georgia has no say about California's standards for issuing them, and is forbidden by the Constitution from setting up border check-points -- therefore the problem demands a national response.

"Too many people have been hurt. Too many have been killed," Banks said in announcing the legislation. "Americans are paying the price because illegal drivers are being handed commercial driver's licenses like candy and put behind the wheel of 80,000-pound trucks. That stops now. The Dalilah Law makes it clear: If you are here illegally, you do not get a CDL. We need to act, and we need to act now."
According to prior reporting, the truck driver involved in the June 2024 crash had crossed the southern border in 2022 and was later released into the country's interior. He eventually obtained a CDL from the state of California, allowing him to operate a commercial semi-truck. Dalilah, who was five at the time, suffered a traumatic brain injury and was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. A GoFundMe established to support her long-term treatment has raised nearly $150,000.

Trump argued during his address that language proficiency and legal status are basic safety requirements when operating heavy commercial vehicles. "Many, if not most, illegal aliens do not speak English and cannot read the most basic road signs as to direction, speed, danger, or location," he told lawmakers. "That's why tonight, I'm calling on Congress to pass what we will call the Dalilah Law, barring any state from granting Commercial Driver's Licenses to illegal aliens."

Democrat Val Jennings says hey, people kill each other all the time, let's let foreigners do the Murders Americans Just Won't Do.

A former congresswoman who prosecuted an impeachment of President Donald Trump dismissed the severe injuries suffered by Dalilah Coleman during a Wednesday panel discussion on CNN.
Trump called for passage of "Dalilah's Law," legislation that would prohibit states from granting commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to illegal immigrants named after Coleman, during Tuesday's State of the Union address. Former Democratic Rep. Val Demings of Florida dismissed Coleman's injuries from a 2024 accident caused by an illegal immigrant driving a tractor-trailer on "CNN NewsNight" after bringing up the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good during "Operation Metro Surge" in Minneapolis.

"How do you not mention -- mention that two people died and that -- in that environment?" Demings, who was one of seven House Democrats who prosecuted Trump during his first impeachment, asked. "And the president was one of the most unifying speeches, the president who said, 'Look at the Democrats. Aren't they crazy?' He obviously does not understand that when he won election, he is supposed to represent all people."

"When you go through some of the moments he went through, right, he pointed to a little girl Dalilah, who was almost killed by an illegal alien, miraculously came back," New York Post reporter Lydia Moynihan responded. "She was there with her dad. When you have Democrats who won't stand and applaud her recovery, yeah, I think that's crazy."

Democrats remained seated during a moment in Trump's speech when the president asked if they could agree to put American citizens ahead of illegal immigrants.

"Sadly, people are killed in America every day, sadly, and the majority of them are killed by U.S. citizens. So whether an undocumented -- undocumented immigrant --" Demings said, with Moynihan cutting in with, "I'm saying, think about --"

"Whether it's an undocumented immigrant or a U.S. citizen who is the perpetrator, bottom line is, somebody has died or someone has been seriously injured," Demings said.

Hit the link to watch the infuriating exchange.

Democrats say this is no big deal. Dahlia, now crippled, disagrees.

Hillary Clinton Claims She Never Even Met Epstein, Had No Idea About Any of His Crimes

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Hillary Clinton testilied yesterday. Bill Clinton is testilying today.

• Former President Bill Clinton's deposition is underway in the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation, according to a source familiar with the matter. His testimony comes on the heels of Hillary Clinton's deposition. The sessions mark the culmination of a legal standoff with Republicans over the couple testifying.

• The former president and his lawyers expect that he could be in for a long day of questioning, according to a source. The Clintons and members of the House Oversight Committee have agreed to five topic areas for the depositions.

• Clinton traveled on Epstein's private plane at least 16 times, according to a CNN review, and was pictured with women in a jacuzzi in files released by the US Department of Justice. He was also pictured with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend and accomplice in trafficking victims.

James Comer revealed that, in addition to flying on Epstein's plane 27 times -- I trust his number more than CNN, which I'm sure deployed various bad-faith excuses to claim a lower number -- Epstein also visited the White House 17 times.

I'm sure Epstein just came as an ordinary DC tourist.

By the way, Mark Halperin claimed that Democrats are "worried" that Bill Clinton will have a "Joe Biden moment" during his testimony, because, allegedly, his brain is slipping.

I haven't noticed Clinton showing Biden-like dementia. Let me propose a suspicion: Democrats are claiming Clinton might be demented to explain away the many, many "lapses of memory" Bill Clinton's lawyers have coached him to claim, and to provide himself with a perjury defense for all the lies he's going to tell.

"A well-meaning old man with memory issues," redux.

Hillary Clinton claimed, like all of Epstein's pals do, that she had "no idea" about any of his crimes.

She added, "Buh Muh Trump."

Hillary Clinton told a congressional panel she "had no idea" about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, as she called for lawmakers to question President Donald Trump under oath about his past association with the late sex offender.
"I want to see the truth come out," the ex-US secretary of state said after testifying behind closed doors for hours to a congressional committee investigating Epstein.

She continues insisting she "did not know" Epstein.

Nancy Mace says that the elderly alcoholic lesbian was "screaming" during her questioning. We've certainly seen her raise her voice when she lies. But I wonder if the attention whore Nancy Mace isn't counter-productively hyping this up, setting us up for later disappointment, as leaks about a "red faced" Bill Clinton yelling during his Monica Lewinsky testimony did.

US Evacuates Embassies in Israel and Iraq, China Orders Citizens Out of Iran as Strike Appears Imminent

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Recall the words of wisdom:

And so it begins.
-- Guy who thinks things are always beginning

But joking aside, it looks like Trump's had enough.

Iran once again pretended to "talk" while conceding nothing. The USS Ford is now in place for a strike.

Open Source Intel @Osint613
Al Arabiya: The U.S. State Department has evacuated non-essential staff from the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

AFP: The United States authorised the departure of non-emergency embassy staff from Israel on Friday, as it threatened strikes on Iran and pressed its biggest military build-up in the Middle East in decades.

"True Conservative" Tucker Carlson, meanwhile, is now being feted Obama's pro-Iran foreign policy A-Team, including architect of the pro-Iran "Echo Chamber," Ben Rhodes, aka "Obama's Mind-Meld Second Brain.

Ben Rhodes, whom you undoubtedly know as Barack Obama's Deputy National Security Advisor, once bragged that he persuaded the media by gaslighting them and creating an echo chamber. Since establishment Washington, rightly, opposed the Iran deal that he and Obama so desperately wanted, they invented a new establishment and sold it to America.

As Malley and representatives of the State Department, including Wendy Sherman and Secretary of State John Kerry, engaged in formal negotiations with the Iranians, to ratify details of a framework that had already been agreed upon, Rhodes's war room did its work on Capitol Hill and with reporters. In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. "We created an echo chamber," he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. "They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say."

When I suggested that all this dark metafictional play seemed a bit removed from rational debate over America's future role in the world, Rhodes nodded. "In the absence of rational discourse, we are going to discourse the [expletive] out of this," he said. "We had test drives to know who was going to be able to carry our message effectively, and how to use outside groups like Ploughshares, the Iran Project and whomever else. So we knew the tactics that worked." He is proud of the way he sold the Iran deal. "We drove them crazy," he said of the deal's opponents.

Ah, the "expert" class. We know them well.

Ben Rhodes helped pioneer and refine the "echo chamber" strategy Obama used so well--the creation of what I call The Narrative(TM). Ben is part of the Obama team's Crooked Media, which is known for its shows Pod Save America and Pod Save the World. Crooked Media was founded by the worst of the worst: Jon Favreau, Tommy Vietor, and Jon Lovett, all part of Obama's communications and foreign policy/intelligence teams.

Below, they praise Tucker and encourage all other media figures to follow him in his Iran propaganda. Tommy Vietor -- "That was like a 100 years ago, man" -- says he's a Text Buddy with Tucker Carlson, The True Conservative.

Pod Save America's Ben Rhodes & Tommy Vietor gush about nazi promoter Tucker Carlson. PSA's @jonlovett / Vietor have pushed hard for ppl to back Platner (nazi tat guy) in Maine.

They say they wish more media would act like Tucker. Vietor admits he's text buddies w/ Tucker btw. pic.twitter.com/SFtcyu8uXz
— DS (@LakeDaniel11) February 26, 2026

Tucker Carlson got sick of being called antisemitic by the perfidious Satanic Jews who drink Christian babies' blood, and so he reached out to one of these Jewish Mind-Controllers to ask him how he could convince the Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy to stop calling him antisemitic.

This particular Perfidious Jew, Yoram Hazony, told him he could start by ending his constant claims that Jews are engaged in a constant aggression against Christians and start all the wars in the world for no reason at all except to spread the Nefarious Jew Conspiracy.

Tucker Carlson then said, "Short of that, I mean."

Or words to that effect. Tucker did not want to stop accusing Jews of conspiring against Christians, he just wanted the Jews to stop noticing he can't stop accusing Jews of conspiring against Christians.

A few weeks ago, a mutual friend asked me if I'd be willing to speak to Tucker Carlson off the record. I agreed and Tucker called me three weeks ago to talk. I continued texting with him for eight days after that.

But this past Friday, Tucker released a video in which he reported to the public on his off-the-record conversations with me. Inaccurately, of course. So here's some additional information on my short-lived discussions with Tucker Carlson about anti-Semitism on his show.

Tucker called me on Sunday, February 1. We talked for 1 hour and 23 minutes. Here's what I noted down on my desk calendar right after the call:

"8 am Tucker Carlson 83-minute call wanting to know how to end the charges of anti-Semitism against him. Trump told him to end it on Jan 11."

As you can see, Tucker explained that he was calling because he had come under pressure from President Trump at his famous meeting at the White House on January 11. He told me the administration wants him to find a way to stop his high-profile fights with Jews and Zionist Christians. Tucker told me that he wanted my advice on "practical steps" he could take to change the impression that he is an anti-Semite.

I thought he was asking me to host him in Israel. So I explained to him that I can't do much to help him, because just about every Jew I know believes he's been waging a savage campaign against Jews, Judaism, and Israel for the past 18 months--and that most think his aim is to drive Jews and Zionist Christians out of the Trump coalition and out of the Republican party. I said that even a year ago, quite a few Jews would probably have jumped at the chance to appear on the Tucker Carlson Show and to present an alternative point of view, but that this looked impossible to me now--and that it would stay that way as long as there's no change of direction on his part.

Tucker wanted me to explain to him why anyone would think he was an anti-Semite. I answered that question for more than an hour, giving him a series of examples of statements he and his guests had made on his show that seemed completely unhinged and motivated by a desire to slander Jews, Judaism, Israel, and Zionist Christians in order to do as much harm as possible. He kept expressing amazement that anyone would think he was an anti-Semite, and I kept giving him more examples of why I thought any fair observer would reach that conclusion if they were familiar with the relevant conversations he had hosted on his program.

The conversation ended with my agreeing to continue the discussion. I didn't feel he was open to dialing down the hostility toward Jews, Judaism, Israel, and Zionist Christians constantly being expressed on his program. But I also didn't want to close the door to the possibility that the pushback from the administration would eventually get him to make a change. (Anyone who has been following Tucker's program in the weeks since January 11 knows that, so far, there hasn't been any such change.)

On February 3, Tucker wrote to me asking if he could speak at the first Israeli National Conservatism Conference (NatCon), which is scheduled to be held in Jerusalem on June 8-10. I was taken aback that he would ask for something like that, given the content of our conversation two days earlier. But I did my best to draft a reply that would reinforce my previous description of what a great many Jews, Israelis, and Zionist Christians think of Tucker right now. Here's what I wrote in response to his request to speak at the first NatCon conference in Israel:

"Tucker, I appreciate the offer. But I need people to show up at this event. Realistically, Jews and Zionist Christians are not going to share a platform with you or come to hear you under the current circumstances. I'm just speaking descriptively about the situation: Much of the lineup will revolt if you join the program and that story will blow back on you [and other public figures] in addition to blowing up the conference. If you want to change this situation, there are things you can do unilaterally to shift the dynamic and I think that's the way to move forward."

I thought Tucker had finally gotten the message that he should stop asking me for favors, and instead consider how he could make unilateral changes that would help people get past the impression that he is one of the leading Jew-haters of our generation.

But then on February 9, he wrote to ask me if I would set up a meeting for him with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I'm not sure why he thought I was the right address for that request. But I knew very well that if someone were going to contact the Prime Minister's office with such a misguided idea, it wasn't going to be me. Here's what I wrote in reply to his request that I arrange a meeting for him with Bibi:

"I don't see how that could happen. It doesn't serve any interest I'm aware of. It could only damage him."

This was a perfectly honest answer, and Tucker could have thanked me for giving him my honest assessment of the situation he has created. But Tucker wasn't happy with it, and he typed an agitated little speech into his phone to indicate that our conversation had come to an end.

On February 20, Tucker released a peevish summary of the contacts between us as part of a wild video in which he also suggested that Israel might be trying to kill him and his family.

That's the story. I'll just add one comment. Most of what I do in public life is building coalitions. That means I talk to a lot of people who don't agree with me on all sorts of things, and sometimes that means meeting with people who don't like me very much. I have these in-person, off-the-record conversations because often people turn out to be quite different in private. Sometimes, I've just misunderstood who they are from their public appearances. Sometimes, I've understood very well who they are, but it turns out they are willing to explore the possibility of making a change. And also: Even when nothing else comes of it, I learn a tremendous amount about people from these private conversations.

In Tucker's case, the private person turns out to be exactly who we've been seeing in public. As of now, I'm not seeing any sign that he is willing to play ball with the mainstream nationalist camp in the Republican party, much less that he has any regrets about who and what he has become since leaving Fox News in 2023. Whatever his motives for turning his podcast into what seems to be a circus of anti-Jewish messaging, right now that project is clearly more important to him than helping the administration keep its coalition together so it can govern effectively and win elections in 2026 and 2028.

This is just like calling up the NAACP and asking them for a free "N-Word Pass," because sometimes, you know, n****r is just the mot juste.

Below, Tucker Carlson, who is not antisemitic, wants you to know that he is no coward and was not afraid to step into Israel proper, instead remaining in "Zone A" which I guess is some kind of zone which Israel does not have sovereign control over.

In explaining that he's not a coward who is afraid of Israel, he says that he asked the US to tell Israel the exact plane he was on, because this Non-Antisemitic Non-Coward really believed that Israel, which is "fighting a war with seven different countries, was plotting to shoot his airplane out of the sky and then claim they thought it was an "Iranian Drone," and he wanted Huckabee to tell them specifically he was on this plane so that Israel could not murder him by anti-aircraft missile and then pretend they didn't know.

He cites the totally non-antisemitic USS Liberty trope to show that Pefidious Jews love doing that kind of thing. (He continues insisting Israel knew it was an American ship, even though the NSA has released intercepted radio transmissions showing that Israel had identified the ship as Egyptian.)

See, he's not antisemitic at all, he totally isn't deranged with antisemitic conspiracy theories and paranoia.

And also: Not a coward. Definitely, N O T a coward.

Tucker is not afraid.

Not afraid of Israel or in Israel.

He just wants to make sure the IDF doesn't "mistake" his private jet "for an Iranian drone or something."

And, um, because of (false) stuff about the 1967 USS Liberty bombing.

Tucker Carlson laughs at fear.

THE MORNING RANT: Following SNAP Restrictions on Junk Food, Pepsico Cuts Prices Due to Softening Consumer Demand

—Buck Throckmorton

Some basic economic truths are playing out in the junk food market – the market where Pepsico engages in commerce. Much of its revenue has been in the form of redistributed taxpayer money, which passes through government to the recipients of what was once called “food stamps.” The recipients of SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) have historically spent considerable amounts of their federal food assistance on Doritos, Mountain Dew, and other low-nutrition foods sold by Pepsico.

But thanks to President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., that is changing, as documented in a piece of mine from early January (“Thanks to MAHA, Several States Just Implemented Bans on Using SNAP Benefits for Junk Food”) in which I wrote “the USDA granted individual states the authority to implement waivers to federal regulations, thus allowing state-level determination of food products which may be considered ineligible for federal SNAP benefits.”

It didn’t take long for Pepsico to feel the pinch. By early February, the company was finding itself needing to cut prices in response to slowing sales.

But a few months earlier when SNAP recipients were still spending government money, Pepsico was able to steadily increase prices. Now that those same consumers are forced to buy Fritos and Cheetos using their own money, they have suddenly become price conscious.

In the media reports about Pepsico dropping prices, there is no discussion about the lost SNAP business. There is, however, an acknowledgement that the company had been very aggressive in raising prices at a rate well in excess of inflation. Suddenly, Pepsico finds itself having to cut prices by a rather significant 15%.

“PepsiCo cuts prices of Cheetos, Doritos and other snacks” [CBS News – 02/03/2026]

PepsiCo is lowering the prices of its Cheetos, Doritos, Lays and other snack brands by up to 15%, saying it wants to bring "relief" to consumers facing an affordability crunch.
------------------------------

The move comes amid a pullback in demand from consumers after PepsiCo instituted a series of price hikes. In the fourth quarter, PepsiCo increased beverage prices by 7% in North America, while its snack prices were up 1%.

So Pepsico raised prices in the fourth quarter (October, November, December) and then in January came “a pullback in demand from consumers.” Coincidentally, this pullback in demand occurred exactly when the SNAP restrictions commenced.

As Lauren Chen stated on Twitter/X, “SNAP no longer subsidizes buying junk food, and now the price of junk food is dropping. Could you imagine if we applied this principle to college? Or healthcare?” Yep, everything we subsidize with taxpayer money has the effect of driving the price of that product higher.

Peter Schiff had an excellent post on Twitter/X last week expanding on this subject:

PepsiCo spent $2.8 million last year lobbying to keep junk food eligible for food stamps. Then RFK got 18 states to ban SNAP purchases of soda, candy, and processed snacks.
Within a week, PepsiCo cut Doritos, Lay's, and Tostitos prices by up to 15%. The CEO blamed "affordability." But the timing tells the real story.

• Frito-SNAP is a $100 billion-a-year program. According to the USDA: 20 cents of every SNAP dollar goes to junk food.
• Frito-Lay products appeared in 7.2% of all SNAP shopping trips.

The moment the government stopped subsidizing demand, PepsiCo had to compete on price. No regulation. No price caps. No antitrust probe. The subsidy disappeared, and the market corrected overnight.

Now consider that this same pattern — government money in, prices up — plays out in college tuition, healthcare, defense, and every other industry with a guaranteed government buyer.

Federal spending is nearly a quarter of the entire economy. All of it inflating prices. All of it eroding your purchasing power.

When corporations and their executives made a hard-left political turn in the early 21st century it puzzled me, because the Democrats they allied with were not the party of free enterprise. But I’ve since come to realize that much of corporate America now rejects free enterprise too, and instead wants government to act on its behalf in redistributing money from taxpayers to corporations.

Be it SNAP benefits for junk food or EV credits for auto manufacturers, the Trump administration is putting an end to the corporatist business model and its parasitic attachment to taxpayer wallets.

With “affordability” such a visible political issue, and with the Pepsico case-study showing how consumer prices can be reduced, Republicans need to aggressively focus on cutting the government subsidies that result in higher consumer prices.

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at The American Spectator has been published: “Media Dishonestly Blames Rising Sea Levels for Houses Lost to Surf in North Carolina’s Outer Banks”

The legacy media, which habitually twists weather-related news into climate catastrophism, has been extraordinarily dishonest in its coverage of these lost beach houses, repeatedly stating that they were consumed by rising sea levels, when that is completely untrue. The houses were lost due to the impermanent sand upon which they were built.

This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

My latest piece at The American Spectator addresses the dishonest reporting of beach houses lost to the ocean in the Outer Banks. The cause is shifting sands of a barrier island in motion, not "rising sea levels."https://t.co/E7dUcYRTqZ

The Morning Report — 2/27/26

—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. I'll start off with something that frightening though it may be is still nevertheless completely unsurprising.

A Somali driver caught barreling an “80-ton truck” the wrong way down a Missouri highway failed an English proficiency test — and wasn’t able to read road signs, authorities said.

The trucker was filmed driving in the northbound lanes on Highway 61 near Troy, about 55 miles outside of St. Louis, at 8 a.m. on Wednesday before finally crossing over and heading the right way, terrifying video shared by US Transportation Security Sean Duffy on X shows.

“We have learned that a truck driver with a Minnesota CDL who couldn’t read basic road signs spent MILES driving the wrong way in an 80 TON truck!” Duffy wrote on Wednesday.

Duffy confirmed that the “dangerous trucker is now out of service. . .

Authorities said the driver had a valid commercial driver’s license and exhibited no signs of impairment or medical issues.

However, during the traffic stop, police said that the “driver was unable to complete the English proficiency test,” Sgt. Dallas Thompson told the outlet.

“In Missouri, they have to be able to understand English, take the test in English, and pass the road sign test here,” Thompson said, adding that state and federal regulations mandate English proficiency for commercial drivers.

If this story neither shocks nor surprises you, seek help because you have either been in a coma for several years or you're a Democrat. That said, I suppose if I wanted to put a positive spin on this story, given the fact that at a minimum, that we know of, $9 billion dollars has been stolen/swindled goniffed from the Minnesota state treasury and US federal treasury by the Somalian immigrant (legal and otherwise) populace of that state and who knows how many untold billions more from other foreigner/immigrant communitiess and native-born amoral Americans from coast to coast whose concept of the American dream is grifting other people's money — and now the positive spin: at least this illiterate Somali maniac somehow felt compelled to want to actually hold down a job and EARN an honest paycheck!

Meh, then again I'm sure some of you are thinking, as I now am, that the poor sap was likely duped, swindled and/or otherwise coerced into obtaining that CDL lest he be ratted out to ICE and be deported. If that was the case then he really was a chump considering God knows how many thousands of his fellow countrymen and other foreigners are raking it in hand over fist via the aforementioned welfare swindling. But being preyed upon by some of your own is part and parcel of dog-eat-dog third world societies and is nothing new, sadly, to the immigrant experience in America.

BE that as it may, there are other things going on in the world worthy of note. As we await a potential AMerican strike against the Iranian Mullahs, just a scant couple of hundred miles to the east this happened!

Pakistan bombed Taliban government forces in Afghanistan’s major cities overnight, the first time it has directly targeted its former allies, and described the situation as “open war,” raising tensions in a volatile, nuclear-armed region.
The Pakistani strikes hit the capital Kabul and the city of Kandahar, where Taliban leaders are based. It was the first time Islamabad has attacked the Taliban rather than militants allegedly backed by them, a stark rupture in ties between the Islamic neighbors.

Security sources in Pakistan said the strikes involved air-to-ground missile attacks on Taliban military offices and posts in Kabul, Kandahar as well as Paktia province. . .

There were ground clashes in multiple sectors along the border between the Islamic nations.

The Taliban said it launched what it described as retaliatory attacks on Pakistani military installations.

Both sides reported heavy losses, issuing sharply differing figures that Reuters could not independently verify.

“Our cup of patience has overflowed. Now it is open war between us and you (Afghanistan),” Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said on Friday.

The strikes threaten to unleash a protracted conflict along the 1,615-mile frontier with relations between Kabul and Islamabad shattered by a long-running dispute over Pakistan’s accusation that Afghanistan harbors militants carrying out attacks across the border.

The Taliban have denied the charge and said Pakistan’s security is an internal problem.

To this, all I can say is pass the popcorn.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't be so smug, considering right here at home...

A brouhaha ensued at Tuesday’s Wylie Independent School District school board meeting in Texas, when dozens of attendees demanded answers about how an outside group called “WHY ISLAM” which that had nothing to do with the school was able not only to enter the school, but to “set up a table on campus during school hours earlier this month without district approval.” According to CBS News, “in a viral video, the president of the school’s Republican Club describes what he saw:
They were giving out hijabs to girls throughout the high school, and they were giving our Qurans, and they also had pamphlets about Sharia law.

If I have an alternate universe Muslim doppelgänger, he just wrote Pass the Shawarma!

The research team analysed the chemical makeup of a type of lunar rock – known as the Mare basalts – and found a new correlation between their titanium content and how strongly magnetised they are. Every lunar sample which had recorded a strong magnetic field also contained large amounts of titanium – and the samples containing less than 6 wt.% titanium were all associated with a weak magnetic field.
New analysis suggests Moon’s magnetic field shifted multiple times from weak to strong to weak

CULTURE WARS, NATIONAL SUICIDE
A Thursday statement released by Netflix corporate stated, “Netflix, Inc. today announced that it has declined to raise its offer for Warner Bros.” Scrutiny from the Department of Justice and allegations of antitrust violations apparently contributed to killing the deal, though that was not specifically what the Netflix executives admitted. Now perhaps the federal government can engage in some more antitrust busting with other gargantuan monopolies like Google and Apple.

If your corporate wifi has a guest network active, tell whoever is responsible that they might not want to do that. (Tom's Hardware)

Same goes for home wifi though it's less of a target.
AirSnitch "breaks worldwide Wi-Fi encryption, and it might have the potential to enable advanced cyberattacks," Xin'an Zhou, the lead author of the research paper, said in an interview. "Advanced attacks can build on our primitives to [perform> cookie stealing, DNS and cache poisoning. Our research physically wiretaps the wire altogether so these sophisticated attacks will work. It's really a threat to worldwide network security."
Fortunately for us - less fortunately for Zhou's credibility - this is horseshit.

But what AirSnitch does - and his co-authors have taken rather more care to make this clear - is break through the protections that supposedly separate the guest and private networks on many common wifi routers, ranging from cheap home models to open-source software with a focus on security to expensive enterprise systems from supposedly security-focused companies like Cisco.
Speaking of which Cisco just fixed a level 10 security vulnerability that has left their SD-WAN systems wide open to attackers since 2023. (Bleeping Computer)

Oops.

Dog helps raise a fallen baby squirrel.

Spying on the cutie across the street.

Squirrel enjoys the majesty of nature.

There's a little baby monkey who was rejected by his mother. "Punch" has gone viral this week. The little underdog is forced to play by himself, grooms his plushie because he has no one else to groom, and walks around with a stick because he doesn't have anyone to walk with.

But he seems to have now found a friend who even gives him a lift. He seems to be doing just fine now. Has he adopted a new mother?

After a long day of work...

Target has paid $110 million to terminate its lease in Minneapolis after months of sustained protests across Minnesota, during which protesters occupied stores and office spaces in an effort to pressure the company to meet their demands.

From weft-cut loop. I think Doctor Zaius correctly interprets the scrolls of the Lawgiver, except when he says "the beast man" he really means "Democrats, communists and other affiliated sex-criminals."

"Beware the beast man, for he is the devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Ye, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him. Drive him back into his jungle lair. For he is the harbinger of death."

The Pope attacked the US for enforcing its border. Tom Homan fired back.

Border Czar Tom Homan is pushing back hard on Pope Leo XIV, accusing the pontiff of misunderstanding the human toll of illegal immigration -- and arguing that President Trump's border crackdown is saving lives on both sides of the border.
"Look, what he doesn't understand is the flip side to illegal migration," Homan told Breitbart News when asked about Pope Leo's comments on migration. "Thirty-one percent of women get raped making that journey, 4,000 aliens died making that journey under Joe Biden. [A] quarter million Americans died of fentanyl because he opened the borders. When you overwhelm the Border Patrol, all the bad things happen: Sex trafficking increases, fentanyl increases. Securing the border saves lives. And I'd be happy to sit down and explain it to him: Illegal migration is not a victimless crime. So President Trump having illegal immigration down 96 percent, he's saving thousands of lives every year."

Homan, who described himself as a practicing Catholic, said Church leadership should be aligned with law enforcement and the rule of law. "I'm a lifelong Catholic, a still-practicing Catholic," he added. "The Catholic faith is always in support of law enforcement -- always has been. [Pope Leo] should be too."

He also invited the Pope to allow unlimited immigration into Vatican City and see how that works out for them: "If we jumped the wall at the Vatican, penalties are MUCH harder than in America." Video here.

Trump put a hold on the Pirate State of Minnesota's Medicaid funding.

Trump admin freezes Minnesota Medicaid cash -- $259 million put on ice
Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that the Trump administration is temporarily halting portions of federal Medicaid funding to Minnesota, delivering a blunt warning that the state must prove it can safeguard taxpayer dollars before the money starts flowing again.

Standing alongside Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, Vance said the administration is preparing to move "very aggressively" against individuals and organizations accused of exploiting Medicare and Medicaid programs.

"We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that are going to the state of Minnesota," Vance said, arguing the pause is necessary "to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligation seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

Oz confirmed that roughly $259 million in Medicaid payments to the state would be deferred.

Vance emphasized that health care providers in Minnesota have already been paid and that reimbursements to doctors and hospitals are not being cut off. Instead, the administration is suspending federal payments directed to the state government itself until officials demonstrate concrete steps to root out fraud and tighten oversight.

The vice president pointed to what he described as particularly egregious abuse inside a program designed to provide after-school services to autistic children.

"A program that existed to ensure that autistic children had access to some after-school services has made a number of people rich," Vance said, alleging that fraudsters set up sham businesses and even claimed services for individuals who were not autistic in order to siphon federal funds.

Guess who got angry and ran her ugly mouth when Trump mentioned the Somali pillaging of taxpayer funds?

Standing before a joint session of Congress, Trump argued that America has been "plundered" by entrenched corruption and singled out Minnesota as a glaring case study. He alleged that members of the state's Somali community had siphoned an estimated $19 billion from taxpayers, adding that the true cost could be far higher. Other states -- including California, Massachusetts, and Maine -- face similar problems, he said, framing the issue as part of a broader culture of fraud that flourished under weak enforcement and open-border policies.
"This is the kind of corruption that shreds the fabric of a nation," Trump declared, warning that the consequences don't stay confined to balance sheets. He argued that unchecked fraud and mass immigration drive up medical bills, insurance premiums, rent, taxes, and crime -- costs that land squarely on working Americans.

In one of the night's defining moments, Trump announced a formal federal "war on fraud," naming Vice President JD Vance to lead the charge. Though the administration began targeting waste months ago, Trump said the effort is now entering a more aggressive phase. The scale of abuse already uncovered, he claimed, is so vast that fully eliminating it could move the federal government to a balanced budget with stunning speed.

Democrats erupted when Trump referred to "Somali pirates" who "ransacked Minnesota," language that immediately drew outrage from Omar. Omar shouted "liar" from her seat as the president continued speaking -- a moment that crystallized the partisan divide over immigration, oversight, and accountability.

I don't know if I can take credit, but I began calling them "Somali pirates" before I saw anyone else doing so.

Below, she displays third-world standards of public behavior we've come to expect from our endless hordes of Cultural Enrichers.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump has Ilhan Omar GOING BERSERK after calling out Somalis and illegal aliens, she's yelling at the TOP OF HER LUNGS right now

One of the hooligans who allegedly pelted NYPD cops with snowballs in a rowdy free-for-all at Washington Square Park has been unmasked -- as a 27-year-old punk who was arrested for attempted robbery just weeks ago, police said.
Gusmane Coulibaly was cuffed on Thursday in connection to the Monday afternoon mayhem that sent two uniformed cops to the hospital, authorities said.

Cops didn't immediately say what he was charged with.

It wasn't Coulibaly's first run-in with the law.

He was arrested for attempted robbery in a Bronx subway station less than three weeks ago, cops and sources said.

Coulibaly was one of four suspects pictured in surveillance photos released by the NYPD a day after video of the "snow"-commotion went viral on social media.

The three others remain at large, police said.

She asked him if he approved of the third-world savage behavior of Ilhan "Omar" Nur and Rashida Tlaib. He declined to criticize them, but said that we must not let Congress become "the Springer Show."

In response to this, Kasie Hunt immediately asked if it's all Donald Trump's fault that Ilhan and Rashida act like third-world savages.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Wednesday called out Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for how they behaved at the State of the Union.

They were rabid.

The fact more Democrats don’t condemn them is part of the problem.

LA School Superintendent Raid Update: He's an "Undocumented Immigrant" and He's Being Investigated for Stealing School Funds

—Disinformation Expert Ace

You may remember a post yesterday evening about the LA School Superintendent whose home and offices were raided by the FBI. People were guessing what the probe might be about.

Well, he's an illegal alien who has been working in the US for 20 years, and on top of that, he sure seems very, very rich for a public " " " servant " " ".

This article does not say he's being investigated for embezzlement of school funds but the facts sure do suggest that.

Embattled Alberto Carvalho's multi-million dollar real estate portfolio revealed as LAUSD corruption probe rumbles on

LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho has an extensive real estate portfolio, with more than $6.3 million in properties across California and Florida, The California Post learned.

The revelation comes as the embattled schools chief is dealing with federal officials raiding his office, Los Angeles home, and a Miami property tied to the investigation. The raids are tied to allegations of fraud and corruption, a source told The Post.

They're using the word "corruption," which can mean a lot of things, but I think it's clear they mean misappropriation of public funds and/or kickbacks from contractors. A high-ranking school official has a lot of juicy, rich contracts to spread around, you know.

Carvalho owns at least six homes in Florida's Broward County and one in Los Angeles along with his wife, Maria. The schools head used to be Miami-Dade County Public Schools' Superintendent for more than a decade before joining LAUSD in 2022.
His main 3-bed, 3-bath San Pedro home is worth about $1.6 million, according to Zillow. The multi-floor single-family home is around 2,000 square feet.

Carvalho's most valuable home, according to Zillow, is his 5-bed, 4-bath Miami Shores home. It's valued at $2.4 million and has 3,576 square feet of space. He also owns two Miami condos worth around $1.4 million combined, per Zillow.

The LAUSD schools head earns $440,000 per year, and signed a new four-year contract last year.

Three more homes in Fort Lauderdale come in at around $1.3 million combined.
...

The investigation is reportedly tied to a failed AI company called AllHere, which created a chatbot program for LAUSD with Carvalho at the helm, the program was later pulled.

Ah. So he diverted taxpayer funds to pay himself for a failed AI chatbot program.

Unbelievable. This is the kind of blatant self-dealing that Republicans almost never attempt, not because we're saints, but we know that we, unlike protected Democrats especially of the Oppressed Minority variety, would be instantly punished.

The home at the center of the Miami raid belongs to Debra Kerr, one of the leaders of AllHere.

More: He came here at age 17 as an illegal alien.

I don't know when, or if, he got his immigration status fixed.

Born in Portugal as one of six children, Carvalho was the only of his siblings to graduate high school. He came to the United States at age 17 as an undocumented immigrant.
...

While Carvalho keeps his personal life largely private, the Miami Herald reported that he was married to Maria Florio Borgia Carvalho and the couple has a daughter.

Carvalho has also been outspoken on immigration issues.

At a September 2025 news conference, he said students and families should be protected from "immoral, unethical and illegal actions" while referring to ICE raids in LA, describing an "unbearable lack of humanity."

In July 2025, he criticized ICE agents for allegedly urinating on the grounds of a Pico Rivera school, calling it a "new level of despicable insult."

Carvalho faced scrutiny before arriving in Los Angeles.

In 2020, while school superintendent in Miami, the district's Office of the Inspector General reviewed a $1.57 million donation made to a nonprofit he chaired, the Foundation for New Education Initiatives. The office questioned the timing and oversight of the contribution, asking that the donation be returned.

Weird how he keeps directing taxpayer money towards entities he controls or owns.

In 2008, Carvalho, then a senior Miami-Dade school official, was linked to a series of suggestive emails with Miami Herald reporter Tania deLuzuriaga while he was married. The emails included flirtatious messages such as "Will you be completely offended if I jump into your arms the next time I see you?" and expressions like "Love, love, love you. xoxoxo." The messages surfaced publicly after he was named superintendent, and he denied having an affair.
...

In 2025, former LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner and several students sued the district, alleging that approximately $77 million in Proposition 28 funds intended for arts and music education were misused. The LAUSD denied wrongdoing and said it is clarifying compliance with state requirements.

Update: Kash Patel Fires 10 of the FBI Agents That Eagerly Acted as Joe Biden's Secret Police

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The NY Post:

FBI fires 10 involved in Jack Smith's classified docs probe of Trump
By Josh Christenson

The FBI has dismissed 10 agents and analysts involved in former special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents prosecution of President Trump, a spokesperson for the bureau confirmed Thursday.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that subpoenas were sent to Kash Patel, who now serves as FBI director, and Susie Wiles, now Trump's White House chief of staff, during the 2024 campaign.

Patel told Reuters, which first reported on the subpoenas, that agents had sought his phone records "using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight."

If you recall, these rogue agents previously claimed that their targets could not be warned by the phone company that they were being wiretapped, claiming that they were "flight risks" who would flee the country if they knew the feds were on to them.

Under questioning, various malefactors were forced to admit that no, they never really thought Republican Senators were "flight risks" at all.

An FBI official told The Post that it wasn't "just phone records and subpoenas -- but a massive targeting operation" that likely involved more than just the two Trump administration officials.

A spokesperson for the FBI Agents Association said in a statement that it "condemns today's unlawful termination of FBI Special Agents, which -- like other firings by Director Patel -- violates the due process rights of those who risk their lives to protect our country."

Fuck you. We should seize all of your retirement money.

When Congressmen Began Chanting "USA! USA!," Deportable Treasonous Jihadi Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib Began Shouting "KKK! KKK!"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The NY Post, again:

Vance blasts Omar, Tlaib for 'talking loudly' at State of Union: 'nails on a chalkboard'

By Steven Nelson

Vice President JD Vance blasted Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for "talking loudly the entire time" during President Trump's Tuesday night State of the Union speech -- saying he had to restrain himself as he sat over the president's shoulder in the House chamber.

Omar (D-Minn.) and Tlaib (D-Mich.) heckled Trump throughout his annual address -- with Omar shouting her opposition to his mass-deportation drive in Minneapolis and Tlaib at one point turning to Omar and appearing to say "KKK! KKK! as other attendees chanted "USA! USA!"

"They're sitting next to each other, and they're talking loudly the entire time," Vance said during a stump speech in Wisconsin urging voters to re-elect incumbent Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden.

"It's just nails on a chalkboard. They're talking. They're interrupting. The president was completely unfazed by it," Vance said.

He also faulted the Queen of Government Graft Nancy Pelosi for not standing up to applaud Trump's call for the outlawing of insider trading by Congressmembers. You'd think that would be an obvious slam-dunk, but no, congresspeople love their graft and insider trading.

"My hope for all of you is that you find somebody who loves you as much as Nancy Pelosi loves insider trading, because then you will have a very good life indeed," Vance said.

Even Democrats are "uncomfortable" with Ilhan "Omar" Nur's and Rashida Tlaib's third-world behavior.

Washington Examiner investigations editor Sarah Bedford said there is frustration within the Democratic Party over the "unhinged way" some members protested Tuesday's State of the Union.
President Donald Trump called out Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Wednesday for their heckling during his speech, suggesting they "should either be institutionalized or deported." Following this annual speech, Bedford said there is "discomfort" within Democratic circles over how some members appeared as Trump spoke at the Capitol.

"That's not something the Democratic congressional leadership wanted to see from their members, there was a sort of admonition from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries [D-NY] for just everyone to cool it, don't make us look dumb, and it feeds into the narrative that Donald Trump has about congressional Democrats when he stood there at the podium and called them crazy and said they're impossible to work with and they're irrational," Bedford said on the Hugh Hewitt Show, guest-hosted by Kurt Schlichter.

"Then in some ways, a few of them sort of proved Donald Trump right by screaming at him and refusing to stand for the notion that the government should support American citizens over illegal immigrants," Bedford said. "They sort of played right into Donald Trump's trap, so optically, it wasn't a very good night for Democrats."

In case you were unsure, a black female Democrat politician confirms that even asking Democrats to stand to show their support of American citizens is, in fact, racist.

I know that was weighing on many of you. At least now you have an answer, though I'm sure that answer is bitter to your racist brains.

Rep. Janelle Bynum (D., Ore.) described President Donald Trump's request that lawmakers stand if they believe the first duty of government is to protect American citizens as "racist" and said the moment made her "uncomfortable."
...

When asked what she thought about Trump's question, Bynum said, "I think you can agree with the 'what,' like standing up for American citizens. But I disagreed with the 'how.'"

"There's thinly veiled racist language, anti-immigrant language in what he was asking and that was uncomfortable," she continued.

Bynum wasn't the only Democrat to slam Trump's address. Rep. Robin Kelly (D., Ill.) made light of Trump's presentation of military awards, including the Medal of Honor, to veterans during his address. "It was like an award show, 'You get a medal! You get a medal! You get a medal!'"

Trump honored five military members with awards for their service, including two Medals of Honor. Army chief warrant officer Eric Slover, who was wounded as a helicopter pilot in the raid to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, received the nation's highest award for valor in action. So did 100-year-old retired Navy Capt. Royce Williams, who Trump said had a "legendary dogfight" with seven Soviet pilots during the Korean War. Trump also gave out two Purple Hearts and one Legion of Merit award.

The patriotism!

And a GOP-aligned group is already running video of the Democrats' disgraceful third-world conduct in campaign ads.

The television ad marks the GOP's first effort to use the moment to build momentum for Republicans campaigning across the country ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The 30-second video is set to play all year nationally as part of a seven-figure ad campaign focused on immigration, according to Politico. It will particularly target key states Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia, where Republicans are defending vulnerable incumbents, and eying possible pickup opportunities to hold on to their narrow majority in the House and Senate.
"Democrats are for illegal immigrant criminals. Republicans are for you," the ad states.

The quote plays off a successful ad strategy during the 2024 election, when Republican Political Action Committees commissioned an ad that read "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you."

Another Harvard Professor Exposed as Friend of Epstein

—Disinformation Expert Ace

As I mentioned earlier -- but which you might have missed because I added it as a late update -- the WEF's President and CEO resigned after the board began to investigate him for his "three dinners" (uh-huh) and extensive correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. Despite kindling this friendship in 2018-2019 -- nine or ten years after Epstein's conviction for soliciting a teenager -- he claims he had absolutely no idea at all that Epstein was associated with any scandal.

On to the newest Harvard professor exposed.

We already knew that Harvard's Larry Summers, who was also Obama's chief economic advisor, was a close pal of Epstein's. He resigned from the school a few months back.

Now we find out aHarvard math professor was also a FoJ.

Harvard math professor Martin Nowak -- once dubbed Jeffrey Epstein's "inside man" at the university -- has been put on leave after college bosses learned "new information" about his links to the convicted pedophile.

University bosses' bombshell decision comes after ex-Harvard president Larry Summers, also scrutinized over his relationship with the financier, announced his resignation.

Nowak, who was gifted $6.5 million by Epstein to create the now-closed-down Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED), will be the subject of a fresh probe investigating whether he breached the university's conduct policies, according to a letter first revealed by the Harvard Crimson on Wednesday.

...

Nowak's links to Epstein are well-documented.

The ex-Wall Street financier visited PED offices at least 40 times between 2010 and 2018.

Nowak gave Epstein "unlimited access" to school grounds, supplying a keycard and a passcode, according to a 2020 review carried out by the university.

Huh. Giving a pedophile a backstage pass at a college. What could go wrong?

Damning Department of Justice-released emails revealed Nowak's plans to visit Epstein's infamous island.

One such correspondence from 2012 featured JetBlue flight arrangements between Boston and St. Thomas.

An email from February 2014 contained the subject: "Does JE want Martin Nowak to visit him on the island March 1?"

Nowak has denied having any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

Boy that sure sounds familiar.

...
Summers and his wife, Elisa F. New, reportedly enjoyed their honeymoon on Epstein's private island -- and they flew on his infamous "Lolita Express" jet.

Also on board the flight was Epstein's madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.

"Mr. Summers and Ms. New spent their honeymoon in St. John and Jamaica in December 2005, which was long before Mr. Epstein was arrested for the first time," a spokesperson for Summers told the Crimson last November.

The spokesperson stressed that Summers and his wife were on Epstein's island "for less than a day."

Summers and Epstein also spoke about women, fundraising and politics in communications that have since been released.

You know, the "elite's" eagerness to break bread with this man could be explained away as something non-sexual. non-pedophilic if we had any claims that Epstein was just some kind of Svengali-like tornado of charisma and intellect.

But I never hear that. I just hear that he really liked jailbait.

And if no one can offer an innocent reason for seeking his company, I have to assume they just like jailbait too.
