Report: Fulton County, GA -- Home of Fanny Willis and Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq. -- Had 25,000 MoreAbsentee Votes in 2020 Than Absentee Voters
—Ace
Whoops!
Whoopsie!
Cleta Mitchell @CletaMitchellAnd here's the REAL kicker about the 2020 Fulton County absentee ballots:
148,319 absentee ballots were counted in the 2020 General Election from Fulton County...
but only 125,784 voters are recorded as casting an absentee ballot.
There are 25,534 more ballots counted than there are voters recorded as having voted by absentee ballot in Fulton County in 2020.
Remember: the margin between President Trump and Joe Biden was 11,779 votes...and that was the THIRD certified number and didn't match either of the first two counts....the counties could not get their numbers to match from the first count to the second to the third.....@GaSecofState
Brad Raffensperger has NEVER explained that...

Roger Kimball at the Spectator: We're approaching the real endgame of the 2020 election.
In the 2020 election, Donald Trump was ahead in Georgia by some 100,000 votes until, vesto-presto, there were mysterious leaks with no water and, by George, Biden pulled ahead by some 11,000 votes. We all remember the allegations of election workers raising the alarm over the low count for Biden or apparently doing their utmost to increase his vote share, as well as the accounts of curiously pristine mail-in ballots.The FBI has a lot of sifting and sorting to accomplish in the weeks and months ahead. An ongoing court case claims that 150,000 mail-in ballots in Fulton County were suspicious (my cautious word for "fake") because they weren't creased and didn't look like they were marked by hand. Officially, Sleepy Joe was the first Democrat to gain more than 70 percent of the vote in Fulton since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. The FBI analysis of mail-in ballots might show him to be as popular in Fulton as Castro was in Cuba or Stalin was in the Soviet Union.
There are also hard drives to be inspected and electronic voting machines to be vetted. Remember the allegations that voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems had been hacked? Dominion (now "Liberty Vote") collected some $787 million in damages from Fox News over the story. It will be interesting to see what sort of follow-up there is to those allegations.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have not been idle. New York Representative Dan Goldman has filed an amendment to prevent the Trump administration from investigating election records, ballot boxes, and voting machines across the country. Yes, really. Been there, done that. "What difference, at this point, does it make?" as Hillary Clinton famously put it, on the matter of Benghazi.
...
Commenting on the tsunami of news crashing out from Georgia, the great Cleta Mitchell, who advised President Trump when he contested the Georgia election results, noted that on the morning of election day, November 4, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Trump led by 103K votes with only 94K ballots left. "Four days later," Mitchell noted:
[T]here were 300K more ballots, including 148K absentee ballots from Fulton County. That's 25,535 more ballots than voters, more than double Biden's margin. Over 133K ballot images were deleted. Zero of 148 Fulton County tabulators had the required tapes. Nearly 7K fictitious ballots remain certified, and no one investigated.Then there is the news about Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Grand jury testimony that was just unsealed revealed that Kemp told the chief of Georgia Bureau of Investigation not to investigation allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, Saying he was a "team player," the official dropped the case.
The mask is being ripped off as I write. A Gestalt shift in The Narrative is underway.
As you know, 99% of the lawsuits filed to contest the rigged 2020 election were tossed out due to the judges deciding that the candidates in the races did not have "standing" -- a recognizable legal interest -- to challenge the rules which determine the outcome of the races.
This was absurd then and it's absurd now. (And it was also very dishonest for the partisan Democrat media to bleat that judges had examined all of these allegations and found them meritless. No -- it dismissed the lawsuits without ever examining the allegations.)
Three weeks ago, the Supreme Court injected some sanity back into election contests, determining that, yes, the actual candidates in elections do have legal standing to challenge election rules.
Like whether or not you verify signatures or not.
n a surprisingly sweeping opinion issued Wednesday, a five-justice majority in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections held that a federal congressional candidate had a legal right to sue, known as standing, in federal court to challenge an Illinois law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted as many as 14 days later. Reversing lower federal court rulings that denied Rep. Michael Bost (R-Ill.) standing to sue, the majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts adopted a categorical rule upholding candidate standing based on a candidate's inherent interest in "the integrity of the election" and the "democratic process."The vote was 7-2 in favor of Bost, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Elena Kagan, agreeing with the result that the majority reached but not its reasoning. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined in dissent by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, would have affirmed the lower courts' denial of standing.
Under the "case or controversy" clause of Article III of the Constitution, plaintiffs in federal court only have standing to sue if they properly allege that the challenged action or law causes them "concrete and particularized injury in fact." The Supreme Court has generally interpreted that rule to deny standing based merely on some category that the plaintiff falls into, such as "citizen standing" or "taxpayer standing." Instead, the court has usually required plaintiffs to allege that that they have suffered some kind of judicially cognizable real-world harm that sets them apart from the broad run of society.
Adopting the principal argument advanced by Bost, the majority stated, "Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns." That candidate interest in protecting the integrity and fairness of the electoral process "is in no sense 'common to all members of the public,'" Roberts asserted. Although the public also has an interest in the integrity of elections, the candidate's interest "differs in kind." An unfair election "plainly affects those who compete for the support of the people in a different way than it affects the people who lend their support," Roberts stated.
...The majority may have been influenced by remedial concerns similar to those voiced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh during oral argument. There, Kavanaugh had remarked that an undesirable effect of denying candidates standing to challenge vote-counting rules before Election Day would put courts on the spot afterward, when someone already appeared to have won and others to have lost.
In his opinion for the court, Roberts criticized the dissent's argument that candidates should not be deemed to have standing unless they properly alleged that the challenged rule likely made the difference between winning and losing. The problem, he said, is that a court probably can't tell whether a rule affected the ultimate result until after the votes are counted pursuant to that rule. Roberts quoted from an opinion written by the late Justice Antonin Scalia while concurring in the grant of a stay during Bush v. Gore in 2000: "Count first, and rule upon legality afterwards, is not a recipe for producing election results that have the public acceptance democratic stability requires."
Communist Foreign Jihadi Theater Kid Zohran Mamdani Loves the Homeless So He Stopped All Police Sweeps of Homeless Encampments During Severe Weather.
Now He's Killed 17 Homeless People With His "Caring"
—Ace
Homeless people want to be homeless. That's the fact. Cities build shelters for them but they don't want to go to the shelters.
During weather emergencies, cops used to force the homeless to go to the shelters. So they wouldn't die.
The communist jihadi foreign theater kid and Gaytard Zohran Mamdani really really loves the homeless, so he forbids the police from rousing them and bringing them to shelters when the overnight temperatures plunge down to ten degrees (less than zero with windchill).
His new policy was, as Actual Justice Warrior put it, to "try to convince them extra-super-hard" to go to the shelters voluntarily.
They didn't agree to go voluntarily. Because they're mentally ill and incapable of caring for themselves and legally incapable of making decisions about their own health and safety.
Now, 17 homeless people that he really really loves are dead. He's killing them with kindness, you see.
Mayor Mamdani said Friday he still will only force homeless New Yorkers off the streets "as a last resort" -- even as his office revealed 13 people have now died outdoors, with even colder temps coming this weekend.
The Democratic socialist continued to insist that city workers will compel homeless people to get indoors only if they pose a danger to themselves or others. He dug in his heels as the real-feel temperature was forecast to dip as low as -1 degree Saturday into Sunday.
Pressed on how city workers will determine if someone is a danger to themselves, Mamdani said numerous factors need to be taken into account before getting someone to shelter, including whether they have enough clothing on.
"There are a number of specific criteria that is used in determining whether one is a danger to themselves or to others," Mamdani told reporters at an unrelated event in Long Island City.
"I think we can find some of this criteria also in how an individual is clothed, whether they are deemed to actually be warm in those settings, as well as their behavior," Hizzoner said.
"And for the New Yorkers who are deemed to be a threat to themselves or to others, there is a process of involuntary confinement which is a last resort," he continued. "However, it has been utilized a number of times whenever city workers have come to that conclusion."
Hours later, his office announced that the outdoor death toll had tragically risen by three since last Saturday, when the Big Apple began getting walloped by unrelenting below-freezing conditions and Winter Storm Fern.
A City Hall spokesperson said in a statement the number of deaths has increased to 13 -- up from the 10 officials reported earlier this week, spanning from Saturday to Tuesday. The mayor's office didn't provide any additional details about the three newly-tallied deaths, and it wasn't known when they had taken place.
The death toll of homeless people frozen to death in the streets has since risen to 17. And NYC is bracing for another arctic blast of cold air this weekend.
Can we get up to 20? Maybe 25?
His new pick for city lawyer actually praised Mamdani for his Socially-Conscious Murders.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pick for top Big Apple lawyer on Wednesday praised the administration's "extraordinarily high-level" handling of the current deadly cold snap -- even as the death toll climbed to 17 people.Testifying before the City Council's Rules Committee for his approval to become the city's corporation counsel, Steve Banks was pressed by Speaker Julie Menin on how he would advise the fashionably-focused mayor during future extreme weather events.
"What I have seen is exactly what should be happening, which is adhering to the state law to evaluate people, bring them inside when the state law permits people to be brought inside, continually to engage people," said Banks, who served as the former Department of Social Services commissioner under Mayor Bill de Blasio.
He added that the city is "redoubling efforts, 24/7, to engage people and bring them inside" with temperatures set to dip below freezing for the umpteenth day this winter.
Banks, however, rejected a broad removal policy when Menin asked if the city could relocate people "in the interest of health and safety" during extreme cold, particularly those with serious mental illness.
"I think the state law doesn't permit that kind of blanket approach. It requires an individualized evaluation, and that is exactly what I see being implemented right now," Banks said.
"That requires nursing evaluations, that requires clinical evaluations. And that's what I see is going on right now at, quite frankly, an extraordinarily high level."

A Covert Chinese Lab Is Operating in Las Vegas and "Sickening" Nearby Americans
—Ace
Several people who stayed at the Las Vegas home apparently doubling as an illegal Chinese biolab became sick after their visit, with two people becoming "deathly ill" a few days after entering the home's garage, according to documents reviewed by Las Vegas journalist David Charns.And that's just the beginning of today's updates. We've also learned more about how investigators believe the equipment ended up at that home, the relationship between the property manager, Ori Solomon, and the Chinese scientist charged with running the lab, Jia Bei Zhu.
Federal gun charges have now been filed against Ori Solomon, the man serving as property manager for the home. Solomon, 55, appears to have lived in the Las Vegas area for more than a decade, according to public records, but the complaint filed Monday evening states that he's currently in the United States on a Non-Immigrant Visa (E-2) that expires in May, 2026, "which precludes him from owning or possessing a firearm per 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(B)."
...
Zhu is still in frequent contact with his girlfriend/wife/baby mama, Zhaoyan Wang, who is also facing federal charges but fled to China with their baby in 2023, contacting her 3,524 times in January, per the 8 News Now report. Investigators also believe that Wang has had access to video surveillance on the property.
More from JusttheNews:
An illegal biolab in California raided by the FBI in 2023 and a separate hazardous lab inside a Las Vegas garage searched by the bureau this weekend are both tied to a CCP-linked Chinese national currently awaiting trial for fraud, false statements, and the adulteration of medical devices, according to court filings, police officials and members of Congress.Jia Bei Zhu was arrested in 2023 on allegations he was running an illegal biological laboratory in Reedley, Calif. On Saturday, the FBI and local police raided a similar biolab in Vegas, arresting the home's property manager, Ori Salomon (also spelled Solomon).
Police and lawmakers say the two labs are closely connected.
"An illegal bio lab was just raided in Vegas" and "it is directly linked to the secret Chinese lab found in California in 2023, which was oozing with E. Coli, HIV, and Malaria," Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., tweeted on Tuesday.
"The lab just raided in Vegas was operated by the same LLC and same Chinese nationals as the one discovered in Reedley," Kiley said in a House floor speech. "Now we know there was at least one other such lab, but we still don't know how many others."
...
Congressional investigators allege that Zhu (also known by the aliases of Jesse Zhu, Qiang He, and David He) had significant connections to the Chinese Communist Party apparatus and allege he ran an illegal laboratory in California that housed approximately 20 types of infectious disease samples -- including HIV, Tuberculosis, and the deadliest known form of Malaria. It also allegedly sold oft-counterfeit or Chinese-origin COVID-19 tests without a proper permit, the investigators said.
...The filings also demonstrate the DOJ's concerns that the bail deal repeatedly proposed by Zhu is actually a scheme to help him flee to China, which is where Wang jetted off to with their child shortly after Zhu was raided a few years ago.
...The prosecutor said that "this company, David Destiny Discovery, is currently the owner on ... a house in Las Vegas valued at approximately $800,000" and two condos in Las Vegas that together are worth approximately $800,000." Barton said that Zhu and Wang "are both listed as principals or managing members of this David Destiny Discovery, so the Government believes they control these properties and assets."
Barton argued that "the Government believes this shows that He has control over these assets, even though they're in the name of David Destiny Discovery" and thus that it was a "lie" when Zhu allegedly claimed in his pretrial services report to only having $10,000 to $20,000 in assets."
Zhu's lawyer filed an April 2024 motion pushing the court to review his client's detention, stating that "the defendant is a Chinese citizen with a Chinese passport and lives in a house in Las Vegas, Nevada that is owned by David Destiny Discovery" and that "Ms. Wang states in her declaration that David Destiny Discovery, LLC, invests in real estate with money from her family in China."
I don't know if this is true -- but it's plausible.

Now the American Medical Association Warns Against Gender Mutilations for Children
—Ace
Pretty amazing that our "experts" just figured out that you should not mutilate children.
We should definitely trust them.
Note, however, they still support sterilizing artificial cross-sex hormones which cause irreversible effects, of course. They're just opposing the most visible and most politically toxic part of the Trans All Children agenda.
Another domino has fallen in the war against child mutilation as the American Medical Association (AMA) has renounced gender surgeries on children. This is the second major medical group this week that's taken such a stand. On Tuesday, I reported that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) was the first to come out against sex change surgeries for minors.More to the point, the AMA said that gender surgeries should wait at least until patients are adults. Prior to this week, the majority of the medical community and its professional associations fought against restrictions on gender surgeries and related care. Their earlier stance was to push for "evidence-based" decisions that center on what they had described as the unique needs of the person, regardless of age.
In other words, the ghouls favored making gender surgery decisions on a case-by-case basis, even with children. In addition to surgery, such decisions may also have considered pharmaceutical puberty blockers and hormone therapies.
In making its announcement, the AMA said that while it continued to support treatment for gender-confused minors, there is not enough research on the risks and benefits of surgical procedures for young patients. This stance is very similar to that of the plastic surgeons, which the AMA acknowledged: "In the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood."
So what happened that has caused so much of this new enlightenment? My colleague Rick Moran covered an interesting legal case and a $2 million award that may have single-handedly destroyed the sex change industry for minors.
...
Last week, [a detransitioner named, supposedly, "Fox"] Varian won a $2 million jury award -- not an out-of-court settlement -- in this landmark case. The court victory for Varian has sent shockwaves throughout the medical industry.
Cutting healthy tissue off children didn't bother them.
But having to pay higher malpractice insurance rates? That finally roused their consciences.
If you're keeping score, there's one organization we have not yet heard from in terms of changing its position on the issue, and that's the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In fact, when the New York Times reached out to the AAP for comment, it said its position on gender surgeries for minors hasn't changed.
The experts want to mutilate your children.
Always Trust the Experts.
The Morning Rant

Maybe every new generation has to learn for themselves that socialism is the ultimate political evil, and every attempt at a better version always...ALWAYS ends in death and destruction on a massive scale.
One would be forgiven in thinking that after the Holodomor, the Great Leap Forward, the Cambodian genocide, 45 years of Eastern Europe's enslavement, and smaller but no less brutal country-killing communists in Venezuela, Cuba, Ethiopia, North Korea, etc., that people wouldn't need personal experience to understand the true nature of socialism.
One would be wrong.
And I will be making popcorn and watching with amusement at the klown-car antics of our newest communist/Islamist at the helm of New York City.
New York's Democratic Socialist Party Mayor Zohran Mamdani thinks that these special programs that elevate some kids over others based on talent and gifts are an abomination and need to end. Catering to the lowest common denominator in education, the workplace, and government is how socialists keep everything nice and equal — equally mediocre, at least.
Cold Death Toll Hits 17 as Deep Freeze Continues
It doesn't really matter that only about a quarter of eligible voters bothered to vote in the mayoral election. Not voting is a decision just like voting for one's preferred candidate.
NYC got what it wanted, and the consequences of that will reverberate for the next four years. Gutting the cream of the public schools because too few blacks and other pressure groups can get their kids into those schools is absolutely expected, but will be a painful surprise to the willing fools who voted for Mamdani.
Decaying public service (and it was bad before!) was baked into Mamdani's policy cake, but far too few people actually spent the time to figure out what those policies were.
Actual death! That wasn't in his campaign speeches, but anybody who didn't expect this is a fool.
New York City will enjoy four years of chaos, hyper-politicized administrative decisions that bolster Mamdani's political beliefs but penalize NYC, an increasingly vicious tone directed against Jews, Christians, Whites, the well-off, and anyone else who doesn't fit neatly into the top of the grievance hierarchy.
Hopefully they will leave, and NYC will cascade into insolvency, because the top of the grievance hierarchy doesn't pay taxes! And even if NYC can muddle through without a financial catastrophe, the quality of life will decay significantly, and it will take a generation to repair it. Just take a look at how long the horror of the 1970s and 1980s took to be banished! And that's assuming that there will be a tax base to finance it, and that is by no means a given.
So...visit NYC if you want, because it won't be better than it is today for a very long time, and there is a long, dark night coming!

The Morning Report — 2/5/26
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. As the spouse is going into hospital this morning for a scheduled surgical procedure, I'll have to keep it short and sweet (if you could call it that). . .
The assault on the rule of law and the fomenting and leveraging of violence and terrorism for political gain by the Democrat Party and its base and operatives in and out of government continues with the epicenter now in Minneapolis and likely to metastasize into a firestorm that will sweep the nation, especially as warmer weather approaches and especially the midterm election push gets into full swing. As history dictates, and should be obvious there can be no parlaying with an intractable enemy that seeks our destruction. And instead of marshaling every possible uniformed agent we can to utterly crush what can only be now described as an armed insurgency and insurrection that seeks not only the prevention of enforcement of federal immigration law but in point of fact, the effective overthrow of the federal government.
Negotiating with terrorists, whether Islamic in Iran or Gaza, or Marxist/Islamic in America, doesn’t bring peace, it shows weakness and then the terrorism never ends and neither do the negotiations.Ceding on ICE won’t buy peace. And it won’t even change the topic or end the violence.
There are very good arguments for why this administration should make domestic kitchen table economics its larger focus. If it doesn’t do that, the midterm situation may be catastrophic. But it can do that and fulfill core responsibilities like national defense. Immigration was a major reason, perhaps the biggest reason that Trump is here, because it embodies national survival. We can and should kick the can down the road on some global issues which have been too much the focus lately, but this is a primal issue which is why the Democrats have gone to the mattresses on it and why retreating on it would be a mistake.
Illegal aliens are the political power behind the ghost districts that Dems use to rig elections and maintain outsized political influence. That’s why it’s the one battle they can’t afford to lose.
The theft of the 2020 election, and everything that made the theft possible primarily both the Fauci/Chi-Com biowarfare, lockdowns, erasure of the most basic election voting integrity measures, and the George Floyd race riots that resulted from it and the J-6 Pelosi/Deep State-engineered J-6 fake "insurrection" put a giant sucking wound into the heart of whatever remains of our Republic as it is, but what we are witnessing here and now really is for all the marbles. They know it, and are surely acting like it and we better start doing the same right now, or else I fear that we are a dead nation walking . . . mostly right off a cliff.
Have a great day.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Top Story- Can Chinese memory save us from the RAM crisis? (WCCFTech)
The article points out limitations of current Chinese DRAM production: It's slower than the best chips from the Big Three, uses more power, and is produced on an older technology node, making it larger and more expensive to manufacture.
I think, for example, that CXMT in China and Nanya in Taiwan are both limited to 16Gbit chips, well short of Micron's 32Gbits.
But who cares if it's slower and uses more power and take a little more space on the module which is module-sized anyway, if you can actually buy it?
Can you buy it?
Well, no. But it's the thought that counts.

American Association of Plastic Surgeons Becomes First Major Medical Association to Warn Against "Gender Affirming" Mutiliations for Children
—Ace
They say these irreversible mutilations should be reserved for mentally ill patients of at least 19 years of age.
Coming after yesterday's report of a $4 million malpractice judgement against genital butchers, this is another huge blow for the child mutilators.
Plastic Surgeons' Group Advises Delaying Gender-Affirming Procedures Until Age 19The organization's latest guidance is a departure from the prevailing views of several other major medical organizations.
By Andrew Jacobs
Feb. 3, 2026The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommended on Tuesday that its members refrain from performing gender transition procedures on young patients until they reach age 19, a shift that comes at a time of mounting opposition to such care at the state and federal levels.
The group's new position stands in contrast to those taken by most major medical associations in the United States, which endorse a range of treatments for adolescents and teenagers struggling with gender dysphoria. The treatments include puberty-blocking drugs, hormone therapies and, in rarer cases, surgeries.
This is the New York Times, so of course they play this as a tragedy.
But don't let them fool you. These leftists long knew that this was insanity and were secretly terrified the mind virus would infect their own children, but they hid those feelings and supported the Transition All Children movement because they are depraved cowards who will sacrifice their children before they sacrifice one tiny bit of social position.
They're secretly happy about this.
In its statement, the society said the new recommendations were prompted by what it described as a lack of quality research on the long-term outcomes for young people who had undergone surgical interventions like mastectomies and cited "emerging evidence of treatment complications and potential harms."
The announcement drew praise from the Trump administration, which issued a statement commending the group for "disavowing pediatric sex-rejecting procedures." In the statement, Jim O'Neill, the deputy health secretary, said, "Today marks another victory for biological truth in the Trump administration."
Kinnon Ross MacKinnon, a social scientist who studies transgender medicine at York University in Toronto, said the medical group's new position reflected the growing political backlash over gender-affirming care as well as liability concerns for practitioners in the field.Last week, a jury in New York State ruled in favor of a woman who claimed a mastectomy she received as a teenager had left her disfigured, making it the first malpractice verdict against providers of gender transition care by a patient who later came to regret the decision.
"I would imagine that this is a potentially protective decision for the field, but it also comes at time when we increasingly are seeing governments around the world step in and respond to some of the debates and uncertainty," Professor MacKinnon said.
That includes the Trump administration, which announced in December that it would pull federal funding from hospitals that provide medical treatment for transgender young people.

Another One of Keir Starmer's "Rent Boys" Arrested
Plus: Could Keir Starmer Be Forced to Resign Over Jeffrey Epstein Scandal?
—Ace
I had completely forgotten about this story. Tree Hugging Sister reminded me.
For reasons no one will explain, four would-be "Male Models" targeted properties and cars belonging to Totally-Straight UK PM Keir Starmer last year.
Why did these obvious homosexuals, claimed to be "rent boys" in the British media (that is, gay prostitutes), have some kind of beef against Fiercely Heterosexual Keir Starmer? Why did they risk jail to set them afire?
And how did they even know what properties and vehicles he owned? That's non-public information, but Tree Hugging Sister says that the Pyromaniacal Rent Boys seemed to be very well-informed about Starmer's holdings:
Whoever it was, they seemed to have extraordinary knowledge of Starmer's property around the suburbs of London and even the vehicles he drove. The Starmer family had either rented the homes -- one of them to his sister-in-law, who was luckily on a vacation or something -- or they were vacant, and had recently sold the vehicle the arsonists torched.
Again, no one will explain why these gay prostitutes are so pissy at the Dedicated Mish-Hound Keir Starmer, who is so heterosexual that he ****s women so hard he gives them sexually-transmitted scoliosis.
But there's more. Mark Steyn just noted that the "fifth twink" just dropped. A fifth "rent boy" involved in setting fire to houses belonging to the Ghengis Kahn of Pooter Keir Starmer was just arrested.
One notes, inter alia, that, with respect to the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, last week was also the week that the fifth twink dropped. Why every Ukrainian "male model" on the books of Mayfair agencies wants to incinerate Keir Starmer is an interesting question, although evidently not to Fleet Street's investigative reporters.
And, as he says, the UK media -- centered around Fleet Street -- continues to be entirely uninterested in why five gay foreign "male models" are so singularly angry at the married heterosexual man Keir Starmer.

Fulton County, GA, Election Office Sues to Get Its Dodgy "Votes" Back (So That Tulsi Gabbard Can't See Them)
—Ace
The cleanest election in the history of the Earth.
Fulton County officials filed a motion in a Georgia court to reclaim election records seized by federal agents in January at a Georgia election office.The motion filed by county officials under seal in a federal court in Georgia on Wednesday seeks the return of the election records taken by agents at a warehouse in Fulton County, according to The Washington Post.
The officials also requested the judge unseal the investigative affidavit that federal agents submitted to secure a search warrant, Rob Pitts -- Fulton County board of commissioners chairman -- said, according to the outlet.

Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Routh Sentenced to Life In Prison, Plus 84 Months
—Ace
Just when you're looking forward to the end of your life sentence, bang, now you have to serve 84 months.
He was sentenced in Florida, by Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon. Compare this judge to the one in New York overseeing the prosecution of Luigi Mangione -- she just threw out two charges against him so that he would not be eligible for the death penalty.
By the way, that makes it likely that Luigi Mangione will eventually get off. Prosecutors often use the death penalty as a bargaining chip to secure a plea deal where the killer gets life in prison, rather than death. Prosecutors no longer have this leverage, so the case will go to trial -- where Luigi Mangione will likely get one or two lefties on the jury who will jury-nullify because they're pro-assassination.*
Unless the government offers Mangione such a sweetheart deal that he feels compelled to take it.
Hate to remind you of that bad news. But the country is coming apart.
We cannot remain at peace with fellow "citizens" who believe that they have moral (and even legal) justification to murder us.
* I know a hung jury is not an acquittal -- the state can re-file charges -- but at some point, if lefties keep jury nullifying, they'll be forced to offer him a sweetheart deal.

Washington Post Set to Lay Off Hundreds of Employees
—Ace
They'll be completely closing down "almost the entire" sports desk. Which struck me as strange -- isn't sports a low-cost but popular section of the paper?
I guess there are now so many internet sports outlets that no one cares about what a stinky old liberal thought about the latest "Commanders" game.
The Washington Post announced on Wednesday that it is laying off hundreds of its employees, which marks one of the newspaper's deepest workforce cuts in its history.
This development is part of a broader trend as legacy media outlets are rapidly losing viewers and readers.From CNN:
Executive Editor Matt Murray and human resources chief Wayne Connell sent an email to staffers Wednesday morning instructing employees to "stay home today" but attend an 8:30 a.m. ET meeting via Zoom during which the Washington Post's leadership will announce "significant actions across the company."Those actions include shutting down almost the entire Sports section, closing the Books section and cancelling the daily Post Reports podcast, sources at the newspaper said.
One of the most severe cuts comes in the form of a "restructuring" of the Post's Metro desk, which covers D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
Papers like the NY Times and Washington Post were criticized for years for not sufficiently covering the cities in which they were based. All they cared about was national politics. I guess the Washington Post is now acknowledging they don't really cover Washington so they'll save a buck by ending the pretense that they do.
But maybe I'm reading this wrong. Ed Morrissey thinks they're restructuring in the exact opposite direction, focusing more on local coverage and ending the competition with the NY Times to be the national liberal daily "news" paper. Maybe I missed something.
The paper will also be drastically chopping its budget for international reporting.
As opposed to sports, international coverage is very expensive. Even when they rely almost exclusively on foreign "stringers" who are not-so-secretly part of the Hamas terrorist organization.
The cuts are required because the #Resistance leftists at the Post have shed one half of the former audience, and the paper loses almost $100 million a year. That's practically Stephen Colbert level losses!
...When Jeff Bezos first acquired The Washington Post in 2013, he expanded operations and invested heavily in the outlet. But recent years have seen drastic financial losses, a severe increase in subscriber cancellations, and a mass exodus of top talent.
Ed Morrissey writes that the new leadership has been warning the #Resistance lefties at the paper that Winter Is Coming for two years:
Lewis warned in response that he wasn't going to stick with the plan that involved losing $77 million a year to float a vanity project for progressive activists:At one point Lewis was asked whether he was intentionally bringing in people who come from a different culture than the Post. "We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can't sugarcoat it anymore," Lewis said. "So I've had to take decisive, urgent action to set us on a different path, sourcing talent that I have worked with that are the best of the best."
Part of this is just the fact that traditional media is entering the hospice phase. For whatever reason, people are just out of the habit of reading these legacy newspapers. (Or seeing movies in legacy theaters.)
Another factor is that the specific politics being pushed by the Washington Post's #Resistance lefties. It's not that #Resistance leftist politics don't have a market. They do. One third of the country are, alas, woke communist psychopathic nihilists. You should be able to sell a paper appealing to this lunatic cohort.
The trouble is, every media outlet, pretty much, panders to this same lunatic cohort. They're all reading from the same depraved Marxist prayer book.
Plus, what #Resistance leftists are selling is not at all a difficult product to produce. They've shifted from reporting on news, which does take some time and effort, and which is something people will pay for, to just ranting endlessly that Bad Orange Man Is Getting More Orange and More Bad and shrieking the same six propaganda slogans forever.
You don't need an organization that spends $300 million on salaries and rent to do this. Any deranged leftwing imbecile with a $500 camera can do this from their basement. And they're almost all doing it -- so what does any lefty need the lefty press for?
The religion has just as many preachers as adherents. That's too many. Some will need to leave the poisonous church of Marxism and find work that's actually productive.
I can't imagine what that might end up being, but I'm sure they must be good at something.
Right? Right?
Hello everyone! I got decent sleep, not great but decent, so I won't be whining as much today. I hope you're all doing great.
I got my humidifier out of the garage and cleaned it but apparently it broke so I'm waiting for Amazon to send me my next one.
Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
With 2025 in the books and 2026 well underway, it is time for the pundits and wonks to start turning their thoughts to the various trappings of academic prestige afforded to the advanced civilizations they decry but to which they nonetheless belong. Their favored outlet, of course, is the award. There are countless awards. The Pulitzer for excellence in propaganda, the Emmy for excellence in propaganda, the Oscar for excellence in propaganda, The EU Prize for Literature for excellence in propaganda - the list goes on forever.
Of all the awards, however, none are more coveted than the various squishy Nobel Prizes. Economics. Peace. Literature. All are fraught with meaning. To earn such a prize means that one belongs, that one is firmly a part of the academic and cultural elite. In keeping with the true meaning of such prizes, there is a new nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. You might think it's Donald Trump, the most prolific peace negotiator in the postwar era - but you know, deep in your heart, that it isn't. He doesn't belong. Someone will surely nominate him, but not this week.

The Morning Report — 2/4/26
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. As I'm sure many of you know, and of course I'm sure agree about my revulsion for the new mayor of NYC, the bastard child of Mhammed and Karl Marx. But that said, I'll give credit where it's due. He said he'd solve the city's homeless crisis and by God he meant it! He's already reduced the homeless population by 17! Of course it's because they all froze to death due to a lack of any kind of government-provided shelter. Ah yes the glories of Communism/Socialism.
Alas, the city lacks the cattle cars in which to ship them off to comrade Bernie Sanders' multiple multi-million dollar Vermont ski mansions a scant few hundred miles away in the Peoples' republic of Vermont, or across the continent to this Billie Eilish slag's LA mansion on stolen land. Well it is stolen land so that's out, nyet?
But whatever became of his promise to confiscate private property?! Surely that would solve the homeless problem. Displacing those already housed is merely restorative justice, especially whites and Jews since they are the reason there are so many homeless colored people of color in the first place.
Feh, I've wasted too many pixels on this Momzerdani fiend already and there's so much more heinous fiendishness yet to cover.
Democrat Congressman Jerry Nadler referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as “goons” and argued people would be “justified” in shooting them during masked arrests in remarks at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. . . Nadler’s comments come amid a broader pattern of aggressive rhetoric toward ICE from some Democratic officials. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz previously described the agency as “Trump’s modern-day Gestapo,” while Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas compared ICE to “slave patrols.”
There isn''t a construction crane sturdy enough or with anti-corrosion paint sturdy enough to resist the flatus and halitosis to hang this repulsive criminal degenerate lipid mass from.
But then again, there's this item that puts a bit of a twist on the aforementioned . . .
The correct number of illegal alien cops should be zero, but as Maria Medvin notes that with the arrest of the latest illegal alien recruit in New Orleans, the number is now up to three.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a New Orleans Police Department recruit from Cameroon who was issued a firearm despite an active deportation order, just one week before he was set to graduate from the police academy.
You may also remember the one in Maine.
“Jon Luke Evans not only broke U.S. immigration law, but he also illegally attempted to purchase a firearm. Shockingly, Evans was employed as a local law enforcement officer,” said ICE ERO Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien and unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien.“
Somehow, I cannot imagine Nadler rushing to the defense of anyone who preemptively shoots an ICE or Police Officer and claiming self defense because they couldn't be sure he was a real officer or a foreign national posing as one! Especially if the officer was an illegal alien which is a distinct possibility these days!
Hundreds of thousands of Canadians could face prison time if they do not turn in their newly prohibited guns under a supposedly “voluntary” gun buyback program that is testing the strength of Canada’s bureaucratic regime.Since May 2020, the Canadian government has attempted to institute a massive “assault-style firearms compensation program” that will purportedly trade cash for prohibited guns. If Canadians do not turn in a prohibited gun by October 2026, they could face up to five years in prison. The program has faced massive pushback from provincial leaders and gun rights organizations who say it will only disarm law-abiding Canadians. . . Today, the government describes participation in the gun buyback program as “voluntary” but that compliance with the gun ban is required. . . “This is not about confiscation. This is about voluntary return of firearms for compensation,” Carney said during a podcast in September 2025. “People aren’t going around confiscating guns. Anyone who says that, that is a mischaracterization, what it is is an opportunity for Canadians to return guns for compensation.
Per the article, there are allegedly carve-outs for hunters and Indian tribes but should this madness creep south of the border the biggest carve out will be for Antifa, BLM and believe it or not the Students for a Democratic Society?! RUFKM? THey're still a thing?"
Meh, same old shit, different decade.
A University of Minnesota student group has emerged as a leader behind illegal—and sometimes violent—anti-ICE agitation gripping Minneapolis. It's a significant shift for the school's Students for a Democratic Society chapter, which roughly one year ago stormed a campus building in an anti-Israel raid, trapping employees inside and causing tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.The group, known as UMN SDS, organized a Jan. 28 protest outside a hotel located on campus that was allegedly housing ICE agents. Dozens of agitators swarmed the Graduate by Hilton and rocked police barricades, pounded on drums and pans, set off noisemakers, and shouted "Fuck ICE" at local and state law enforcement. University police eventually declared it an unlawful assembly and arrested 67 protesters, including Jack Louis Nimz—a public school teacher, the president of SDS's national arm, and one of the radicals arrested for storming the campus building in October 2024.
Elsewhere as President Trump is seemingly poised to pound the shit out of mullahs in Tehran, I present the most clueless essay of the day for your ridicule and amusement.
I give you the headline and subhead which is really all you need to know.
Trump's Gaza Plan Can Overcome Ideology — History demonstrates that when parties gain a direct stake in peace through finance and security, behavior changes.
The author clearly has zero understanding of Islam and its history of bloodletting coupled with deceit in its eternal quest to dominate all of humanity. Unfortunately, as I have said and written about many times over the past year or so, it seems as if President Trump also does not understand or refuses to consider this as it would derail his political agenda at home and abroad. There is no such thing as radical or fundamentalist Islam. Islam in and of itself is both those things. Of course that is a political third rail that cannot be touched. Perhaps there are moderating forces in some of the countries that have established relations with Israel via the Abraham Accords, as well as political and even some strategic benefits in the short term. But the ultimate aim is the destruction of the state of Israel, the death or subjugation of every Jew and other infidels and the establishment of the global caliphate.
Anyone who expects the Islamic/Arab world to reject some let alone all of Koranic teaching vis a vis the aforementioned is clueless, period full stop. Go read any of Robert Spencer's brilliant scholarly works on this and then get your mind right.
Psaki-Psircling back to the insurrection here at home, as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar as well as the usual outlets listed at the bottom of the post,
President Trump must move swiftly and decisively to crush this.
Dig far enough down, meh just below the surface, and you will find the Democrat National Committee.
“Federal investigators have reportedly uncovered a “massive underground fraud network” in Minneapolis linked to the anti-ICE movement.. . . [I]t’s not just coincidence that these massive numbers of protesters and rioters and agitators show up at the same time, and they’re pushing back on what has been a profit center for fraudsters.” – Todd Blanche
Have a great day.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Top Story- How it started: Europe shrugs off tariffs and plans to end its complete reliance on America for all its technology. (The Register)
Except for ASML, anyway.Forrester frames much of this as a sovereignty play, and it is hard to argue otherwise. Across Europe, money is going into sovereign cloud platforms, AI-ready infrastructure, and tighter rules on where data lives and who can access it.
This is not a privacy question. It is a control question.
- How it's going: Amazon is finding that Europe is not exactly a powerhouse when it comes to, well, power. (The Register)
AWS has moved quickly to flood the European continent with its elastic compute fabric, but while it may take two years to bring a new datacenter online, securing power for the facilities can take up to seven years, Pamela MacDougall, who heads energy markets and regulation for AWS EMEA, said in an interview with Reuters this week.
I can fit you in at 2PM on the eleventh of Never.According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in some European datacenter meccas, like Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin, this wait can extend to as much as a decade.
I'm not sure this is going to work as you planned, guys.
