If ever there was a poster child for Divide & Conquer, it would be Jackson. It was, is and always will be the stock in trade of the Democrat Party and anti-American Left, and he was arguably one of, if not its most effective practitioners, as much of the societal dissolution and destruction that had its roots 60 or so years ago, that we are enduring unto this very day has his fingerprints all over it.
And that said, did President Trump really have to heap praise on him? Yeah, I get it, Jackson was a prominent figure among blacks, but surely he could've just come up with some boilerplate sentence of condolences to his family (including his bastard child) and a white lie (pun intended) about his achievements as a civil rights activist and left it at that.
Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez invested months preparing for her highest-profile overseas trip, but when she arrived at the Munich Security Conference, the progressive lawmaker fumbled through basic foreign policy questions and is now faulting conservatives for the backlash. . . Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf told The Hill that Ocasio-Cortez is “not ready for prime time on the international stage.”
“It was a beauty pageant to show that she had some chops about international issues, and she showed a complete lack of chops about international issues,” Sheinkopf said.
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald offered perhaps the sharpest critique. “Whoever convinced AOC that she had successfully completed her tutoring and was now ready to give book reports about foreign policy in public really should look for another line of work,” Greenwald said in a post on X.
Supposedly she is contemplating a run at the Democrat presidential nomination in 2028? While yes she's a blithering idiot, if she does indeed land at the top of the ticket or even in the Veep slot, her idiocy and insane worldview are in complete alignment with millions of voters that constitute the base and overwhelming majority of the Democrat Party. And having udders and being latina will only help to seal the deal. Now if only her redheaded pasty husband would turn tranny and/or come out of the closet and convert to Islam, she'd be a shoe-in, nein?
An Obama-appointed federal judge has once again ruled in favor of suspected gang member and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia, giving him a lifeline he doesn't deserve.

Outrage against Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is the left’s outrage du jour. The rage mob swung into action after Fine wrote: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”
Yeah, that was it. He didn’t say “Kill them all” or even “Deport them all.” He didn’t recommend any action at all. He was actually responding to an X post from far-left, pro-Hamas activist Nerdeen Kiswani. In response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Kiswani wrote: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.”
Animal rights groups have expressed outrage over Morocco’s alleged killing of millions of stray dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to a recent report.
Organizations such as the International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) and PETA have criticized Moroccan officials for culling the population of roughly three million stray dogs, according to the Daily Mail.
The animal rights organizations have reportedly “released images and testimony” claiming that Moroccan officials are resorting to “using harsh methods” such as “clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies,” according to the outlet.
Be nice to see PETA come to the defense of Randy Fine. Be nice if I won Powerball every week for the next 10 years or could go back in time and have a threesome with Raquel Welch and Ann Margret. Well at least those latter two are realistic unlike my first sentence.
Have a great day.

What we think we know is that these mountains are likely made of ice, which at Pluto’s eternally cold environment is as hard as granite.

Someone asked if a video was AI, and Grok said it indeed appeared to be fake. It was overlaid on a web page from The Hill and the article had no reference to the person in the video and indeed no video.
Because the video is copy protected and can only be viewed in a browser. Grok literally could not see it. And the reason the copy on Twitter was overlaid on a static web page is that the person who posted it took a screen recording to capture the video.
Actually, more than that: In Germany prices have declined. Slightly. From five times what they were just months ago to, in some cases, as little as four times.
For all its impressive tricks, AI is a feed-forward pattern matching network.
Which is also how the human brain works when you're not paying attention. So it's not useless, particularly when you shove the sum total of human knowledge into it except for copy-protected videos.
But since engineers have shoved the sum total of human knowledge into it, they had to smooth out the bumps to make it fit. It always tends toward the middle, by design. The aim is to be acceptable, rather than great, and never to offend anybody, which is a perfect fit for corporate customers.

Rush Limbaugh will ALWAYS be the voice of conservatism. I first heard him in 1991 at the recommendation of a good friend. I was immediately hooked, and I listened to his radio program or read his website nearly every day for more than 25 years. I imagine many of you have a similar history with the man behind the golden EIB microphone. On the anniversary of his passing, let's enjoy just a few examples of his greatness.

In memory of Rush Limbaugh on the anniversary of his passing
Rush Limbaugh at TPUSA's First Annual Winter Gala, which took place at Mar-A-Lago, December 20, 2018
My mother insisted that my dad and I take a college road trip together when I was in 11th grade. I got to drive. My dad got to control the radio. We opted for backroads and scenery instead of speed and the interstate. Driving through rural Alabama on the way to my eventual alma mater, Mercer University, in Macon, Georgia, my dad went in search of radio legend Paul Harvey.
Instead, he stumbled upon a voice claiming to have talent on loan from God. My dad and I may not have had a super close relationship at the time, but together we found Rush Limbaugh and could connect with each other through listening to Rush.
Years later, I helped start the website RedState and randomly sent a note through the comment line at Rush's website. I not only got back a reply, but it was from Rush himself. I could not believe he knew who I was. Thus began a correspondence, which led to a friendship, which led to a mentorship.
The first time I ever remember my dad telling me he was proud of me was the day Rush Limbaugh referred to me on air as his friend. My dad nearly ran off the road and immediately called me with fatherly pride. After years of running RedState and being on television, my parents finally decided I would be okay in my career choices after Rush designated me one of his guest hosts.
At just 40 feet tall, the Newby-McMahon Building in Wichita Falls isn’t very impressive, even when compared to regular-sized buildings, let alone skyscrapers. And yet it was supposed to be one of the most imposing skyscrapers of its time when it was designed in the early 1900s.
The nickname ‘World’s Littlest Skyscraper’ is a dubious title to have, but the Newby-McMahon Building is indeed dwarfed by every skyscraper in the world. It isn’t remotely worthy of being called a skyscraper, as it’s dwarfed by several normal buildings in Wichita Falls, but the story of how it came to be is truly fascinating.
The origins of the Newby-McMahon Building can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the North Texas city of Wichita Falls became the center of a regional oil boom. The discovery of black gold in nearby Burkburnett turned hundreds of locals into millionaires, as mineral rights were negotiated virtually everywhere, from street corners to temporary tents.
Philadelphia oil man J.D.D. McMahon was the first to notice the city’s dire need for office space and quickly proposed a solution – building an imposing skyscraper right next to the original Newby Building, built by Augustus Newby in 1906. His blueprints caught the eye of several investors, and he was able to raise about $200,000 (about $6.8 million in today’s money).
McMahon promised a multistory office building that would be built just across the street from the St. James Hotel, but what he failed to mention was that it wouldn’t go up very much. Exctatic investors didn’t notice that the building’s scale was measured in inches rather than feet, and, by the time they realized they had been scammed, it was too late.

Yes, Presidents' Day was yesterday - but this cool bit of trivia hit my feed this morning. From Kevin O'Neill on X
RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact.
John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May.
John had a son while in his 60s.
That son had a kid while in his 70s.
And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96.
So… New fun fact:
John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
That's a pretty random but interesting tidbit!
But wait - there's more! Check out this very Horde-worthy comment to the post
Correction: Steven Tyler was John Tyler's father. 'Dream On' was almost our national anthem. And 'Love in an Elevator' was written by Otis Redding, two years after he founded the Otis Elevator Company.
Look it up.

Antifa-Affiliated Group Stomps a Normal Peaceful Student to Death in Lyon, France
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The BBC attempts to gently bury the story under the vague and anodyne headline, "Student death puts French far-left under pressure," as if he died after drinking too much at an antifa party.
The reality? He was a normie who showed up to protect female protesters who call attention to Muslim rape culture. They were protesting a radical Muslim speaker.
This group is called "Collective Nemesis."
An antifa-affiliated group, Jeune Garde (Young Guard, I think), just beat him to the ground and then delivered full-extension kick to his head after full-extension kick to his head.
He died within days of severe brain trauma.
"Student death puts French far-left under pressure"
That's a take.
Student death puts French far-left under pressure
France's radical left is under pressure after the killing of a student in Lyon was blamed on "anti-fascist" militants.
"Blamed"? It's on video.
Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old maths student and nationalist activist, died on Saturday, two days after being beaten up on the street by a group of young men.
State prosecutor Thierry Dran told a news conference on Monday afternoon in Lyon that a murder investigation has been opened into the death.
He said that Deranque was kicked and punched by "at least six" individuals, and that the autopsy showed fatal damage to his skull and brain.
On Thursday afternoon Deranque had given support to a hard-right feminist collective Némésis, which staged a small protest against a left-wing politician's visit to Lyon's Institute of Political Studies (IEP), commonly known as Sciences-Po.
You mean a radical Muslim's visit.
Mobile phone video footage taken a few streets away from the protest's location showed three young men being kicked and punched by a larger group. One person - believed to be Quentin - remained lying on the ground.
According to Dran, there was an initial confrontation between two groups. A short time later Deranque was one of three nationalist activists who, having failed to get away, were cornered by the opposing group.
One group was just some girls who were there to protest the many rapes perpetrated by Muslims. This kid Quentin was there to protect them.
I guess he succeeded -- by giving his own life to protect them from antifa.
Ministers from President Macron's centre-right government blamed "far-left" militants for the killing.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said: "Manifestly it was the far-left that was at work ... This was a mob-killing, with blows that the perpetrators probably did not intend to be fatal."
According to Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, "it is the far-left that killed him. Of that there is no question."
The French government actually called it a lynching -- un lynchage is their word for it. But the BBC won't say that.
"Student death."
At every point, the BBC minimizes the murder by their antifa allies and deceives the reader into thinking the facts are in doubt and that maybe antifa is just getting a bad rap.
And the BBC does not report that after the murder, left-wing French politicians praised the work and the importance of left-wing "protest" groups.
Here is video of the young man in Lyon, France who was beaten to death by Antifa. Quentin, who is now brain dead, was volunteering as security for a conservative women’s group when he was jumped by Antifa, allegedly the Jeune Garde group. https://t.co/yLfycJ0Wxb
The young French Patriot was 23 years old. His name was Quentin. He was part of the Catholic nationalist movement of France and, according to information, also went to the summer camps of the Academia Christiana.
As Spock said as he implanted his katya into McCoy's mind: Remember.
ABC's @jimmykimmel: "You understand, there is no Antifa? This is an entirely imaginary organization. There is not an Antifa. This is no different than if they announced they rounded up a dozen Decepticons. ‘We’ve captured the Chupacabra, everyone!’" pic.twitter.com/L0CtCQweOx
Microsoft AI CEO: Most White-Collar Jobs Will be "Automated by AI" Within Ten Years I Mean, Within Twelve to Eighteen Months
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Does that mean the jobs will be eliminated?
He doesn't say that. He says they'll be "automated by AI." Does that mean workers will be completely replaced, or that one worker can use AI to do the job of five, because so much of the task is being done by AI?
I think it means the latter -- but that means that there will be a huge loss of jobs among white collar workers.
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says AI will reach "human-level performance" in white-collar work.
He predicts most tasks in that field can be automated within the next 12 to 18 months.
Several leaders in the AI industry have warned of impending mass job replacement.
Microsoft's AI CEO is joining a chorus of executives who say they anticipate widespread job automation driven by artificial intelligence.
Mustafa Suleyman, the Microsoft AI chief, said in an interview with the Financial Times that he predicts most, if not every, task in white-collar fields will be automated by AI within the next year or year and a half.
"I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks," Suleyman said in the interview that was published Wednesday. "So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person -- most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months."
The CEO said the trend is already observable in software engineering, in which employees are using "AI-assisted coding for the vast majority of their code production."
"It's a quite different relationship to the technology, and that's happened in the last six months," he said.
Scary. I read a book five years ago that seemed pretty fanciful. It made exactly this prediction. It said that people who currently have prestigious, high-paying, "safe" jobs had better diversify into areas where AI is less likely to displace them because anything AI can do, it will do.
AI set to make medical scan reports twice as easy to understand for patients
by University of Sheffield
Artificial intelligence could soon help patients make sense of complex medical scan results, making them far easier to understand without losing clinical accuracy, a major new study by the University of Sheffield suggests. The research found that when radiology reports for X-Rays, CT and MRI scans were rewritten using advanced AI systems such as ChatGPT, patients found them almost twice as easy to understand compared with the original versions.
Analysis showed that the reading level dropped from "university level" to one more closely aligned with the comprehension of a school pupil aged 11--13.
I don't know if I'm ready to trust AI with anything important. On the twenty questions I've asked it, it was flat-out wrong about half the time.
Stephen Colbert Involved in Yet Another Leftwing Propaganda Hoax
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The FCC requires "equal time" for political candidates except in the case of what are called "bona fide news programs," who can have on who they like.
Stephen Colbert's unfunny propaganda show is obviously not a "bona fide news program," so it does not meet the requirements for the exception. If Colbert features a Democrat during an election period, he must have on that Democrat's opponents, or else CBS is required to grant those opponents a block of free air time.
Colbert had on yet another far left Democrat as a "guest" on his "comedy" show, the fake Christian leftwing Democrat James Talarico, who is running against Jasmine Ratchet and some others to be the Democrat candidate entitled to lose the Senate race to muh boy Ted Cruz.
Texas Dem who said God is 'nonbinary' now says atheists are more ‘Christ-like’ than Christian colleagues
The Texas House Democrat has history of controversial faith-related statements, including claiming 'God is nonbinary' in 2021
...
"I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico responded. "It is about how you treat other people."
The Texas Democrat is running to serve as a U.S. senator and joined the podcast to discuss the race and how it's expected to be an uphill battle for a progressive Democrat. A Texas Democrat has not been elected to the Senate since 1988, with Talarico looking to unseat Republican Sen. John Cornyn.
"There is a backlash growing in Texas against the extremism and the corruption that we're seeing at all levels of our government, and I'm seeing it everywhere I go," Talarico explained of what he's seeing from the campaign trail to flip the seat blue.
The conversation largely focused on religion, with the former school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian explaining that he leans on his Christianity as he works in the "halls of power" while taking aim at conservatives.
"Christian nationalism, you see people's faith growing out of their politics, right?" he said. "They're baptizing their partisanship, and they're calling that Christianity. And it's why it doesn't resemble the life, death and teachings of Jesus Christ, right?
"These Christians in Congress, these Christian nationalists, they want a Christian nation unless it means providing health care to the sick, unless it means funding food assistance for the hungry or raising the minimum wage for the poor.
His remarks sparked outrage among conservatives on social media who argued Democrats "love putting Christians down" and mocked him for previous comments on religion with one user responding, "says the dude who claims the pro-abortion position is Biblical."
"James Talarico has once again broken out his anti-Christian Christian shtick," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said of the comments. "There isn't a woke cause that he won't claim to find buried in the Bible. Twisting Christian principles to promote woke talking points might play well with coastal elites in New York and California, but he's going to learn real quick that won't fly in Texas."
Yes, I question his Christianity, and given that he feels free to question the Christianity of actual Christians, I feel justified.
CBS decided it did not want to gift free air time to Jasmine Ratchet and the other lesser candidates, so they are not airing this latest propaganda episode.
The FCC was not involved in this decision. CBS decided that they did not want the expense of giving free airtime to Democrat candidates, and so they cancelled the latest shit episode of this low-rated already-money-losing pit of despair.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a defining figure in late 20th-century American politics and the civil rights movement, died early Tuesday at 84 after a prolonged battle with illness, according to a statement from his family and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
Jackson had been living with progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative neurological disorder similar to Parkinson's disease. He was hospitalized in mid-November as his condition deteriorated. After disclosing the diagnosis publicly in 2017, Jackson referred to it as a "physical challenge" and continued to appear at public events and comment on political matters even as his health declined.
In a statement posted online, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition said Jackson "died peacefully on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family," describing him as a civil rights leader whose impact spanned generations.
President Trump weighed in with a lengthy tribute, noting that he had known Jackson "long before becoming President." Trump called him "a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and 'street smarts,'" and described him as "very gregarious -- someone who truly loved people."
He certainly loved lodging invented accusations of racism against companies and then coercing them into paying him millions and hiring on his staffers and useless family members.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer escalated the culture fight Sunday, announcing he will introduce federal legislation to make the Pride flag a "congressionally authorized symbol" -- elevating it to the same statutory category as the American flag, military service flags, and the POW/MIA banner.
In a post on X, Schumer accused President Trump of attacking "not just the LGBTQ community," but "all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC," after a Pride flag was removed earlier this month from the Stonewall National Monument.
"The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground," Schumer claimed, framing the episode as an assault on civil rights history rather than a dispute over federal flag policy.
The flap began after the Department of the Interior issued guidance directing that "non-agency" flags be taken down at National Park Service sites. The Pride flag flying near the Stonewall Inn came down under that directive before later being reinstalled.
Schumer's proposed legislation would lock in formal federal recognition for the Pride flag, placing it under congressional protection and insulating it from future administrative policy shifts.
Last week, Donald Trump attacked not just the LGBTQ community, but all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC when he ordered the removal of the pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument.
Palestinian Activist in NYC Calls for Dogs to be Banned as "Indoor Pets" -- No Longer Permitted Inside People's Private Apartments -- Because They are "Unislamic" and "Dirty"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
You have no idea how long it took me to find this article, because Google is deliberately suppressing it. Google only returns hits about Florida Congressman Randy Fine facing a "backlash" for saying about Muslims, if you make us choose between dogs and Muslims, the choice is easy, we'll choose dogs.

Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.'
'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X.
After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'.
'[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote.
'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning it.
'Also clearly trying to weigh in on an issue unaware of the current NYC discourse where we're collectively (jokingly) hating on dogs given all the visible dog s**t in the unmelted snow.'
Muslims typically do not keep dogs as pets as many believers feel they are meant to be used for work such as herding or hunting.

He responds with a full beheading gesture pointed right at the pup.
The Colonizer now offers three completely contradictory defenses: In some posts, she says she was just "joking" and now all the "Zionists" are upset, which was her intention.
But she also claims this is all very serious, because "conversations" to ban dogs are already occurring in the government.

Some people are rewriting the timeline around the "dog discourse," so here are the actual receipts.
I did not start this conversation. I stepped into one that NYC politicians, media, and thousands of residents were already having.
So is it a joke, or a serious policy initiative?
In the below post, she says she was serious, but only because she doesn't want these magnificent creatures locked up in tiny apartments, but roaming free on the city streets as they do in shithole Muslim countries.

People replying with dog pics like it’s supposed to upset me. Meanwhile those pics are fitting my spirits bc I think they’re adorable. All I was saying is they deserve better than a life confined to a tiny apartment w/ scheduled bathroom breaks on sidewalks.
If anything, sounds like I care more about their quality of life than the people using them as a gotcha.
You led your post with “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam,” so I think you were saying a bit more than that. https://t.co/i7F2AX6J5n
Some of us have lived in Muslim countries and understand how they treat dogs, @jaketapper. During one of my deployments, we had to inform the locals, in no uncertain terms, that no, they would not conduct their annual dog cull. In other words, they were not going to go out and kill every stray dog they could find. And they wisely complied.
Your fake fussy outrage doesn't overcome what we saw.
I expect there are some Muslims who don't consider dogs haram and who are willing to treat dogs in the manner of civilized people. That doesn't mean that's not a tenet of faith for a significant portion of Muslims. A significant number of Muslims hate dogs. And, in fact, some Muslims who have come to the West have demanded that we accommodate their bigotry against these wonderful creatures.
So, no. I'm not going to accommodate anyone who dislikes dogs for any reason. My dogs are more important than people who hate or dislike dogs. If you think that makes me a bad person or a bigot, I am completely indifferent to your opinion.
This is not open to debate. We're going to keep our dogs as we always have. If you come to our civilization, you're going to respect our pets, or there's going to be trouble. John Wick is the moderate position on this issue.
Fellow vets, feel free to share your dog stories from the Muslim world for the benefit of @jaketapper and others who want to shame you into submission.
A youth hockey game in Rhode Island erupted into chaos when gunfire tore through a crowded rink, leaving two family members dead, three others critically wounded, and the suspected shooter dead in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.
The violence broke out in Pawtucket during a local high school matchup, sending families diving for cover as first responders swarmed the arena. Witnesses described panic in the stands as shots echoed through the building and parents shielded children amid the confusion.
Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told WPRI that the suspected gunman was 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who went by the name "Roberta." Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on family members inside the rink before turning the weapon on himself.
...
WPRI reported that Dorgan had changed his gender identification several years ago. In 2020, he went to the North Providence Police Department and informed officers that he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery, adding that his father-in-law wanted him out of their shared North Providence residence because of it.
Court records cited by the station show that around the same time, Dorgan's wife filed for divorce. In the filing, she referenced "gender reassignment surgery" and what she described as "narcissistic + personality disorder traits" as factors contributing to the collapse of the marriage.
Wait, the dick-removal surgery didn't cure the serious psychological comorbidities? That's strange. Genital Chop-Shop Salesmen always tell their patients that getting their genitals mutilated will cure all mental illnesses.
The suspect's documented gender transition, detailed in police records and divorce filings, is now part of the broader factual record investigators are examining. The shooting also comes just one week after a separate mass killing in Canada involving a trans-identified suspect -- a back-to-back sequence that is already fueling debate and renewed scrutiny as critics point to what they describe as a troubling pattern of trans-linked violence.
One day before bullets tore through a Rhode Island ice rink, Robert Dorgan -- a 56-year-old transgender-identifying father who also went by Roberta Esposito -- posted a warning that now reads like a flashing red light.
"Keep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK," Dorgan wrote on X, venting over transgender issues and reacting to a post that referred to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, who is transgender, as a man.
Does it seem to you that ten percent of all mass shootings are perpetrated by entitled, radicalized trans lunatics?
Or so says the AI program Perplexity. Usually we'd want numbers from the government or media, but we know damn well they will hide those numbers forever.
I just had a bit of an argument/discussion with Perplexity, one of the best research AIs out there, about the proportion of mass shooters in recent years who are transgender or trans activists. After a bit of back and forth in which Perplexity admitted to "hand waving" about the proportion of perpetrators who are trans, we settled on a plausible percentage of mass shooters since 2018 who are in that category: about 10%.

Operation PROTECT DONKEY-CHOMPERS: Leftwing Propaganda Media Goes Into Overdrive Claiming That AOC's Embarrassingly Incompetent Performance At Munich Was Akshually "Cogent" and Critics Are Just "Microscopically Dissecting" Her "Message"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
If you took the day off yesterday, unlike me, you may have missed the story that Donkey-Chompers went to the Munich Security Conference because she's running for president and someone told her she had to show her "foreign policy chops" and so she read an issue of The Nation on the plane and figured she was all set.
She was not in fact all set. She embarrassed herself horribly -- more horribly than usual, if you can believe that -- and may have permanently damaged her ambition of becoming a Senator, let alone President of the United States.
In just a few minutes of Entitled Participation-Trophy Arrogant Stupidity, AOC shit the bed on multiple fronts:
* She claimed that Marco Rubio was wrong that cowboys came from Spain. They did, because cowboys ride horses that only came over to America with the Spanish conquistadors. Some yesterday, Sean Davis I think, said, "How could someone with the last name Cortez not know that Cortez introduced horses to the Americas?"
* She claimed that Trump only thought he had the right to "kidnap" the dictator Maduro because Venezuela is "south of the equator" and you know those damn racist white Europeans think they're smarter and better than the Global South. Pro-Tip: Venezuela is not in fact south of the equator. I guess if you want to be charitable to a Make A Wish Foundation Pretend Presidential Candidate, you could say she was close. I mean, it is a few hundred miles from the Equator.
* Asked a lay-up, no-surprise, you-knew-this-was-coming question about the US defending Taiwan from a hypothetical Chinese invasion, this idiot literally said "um" and "you know" for a full minute before finally speaking in a (more or less) grammatical sentence, stating, essentially, Well we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen.
So you knew that the communist media was going to work hard to clean up for their communist Chubby Evita.
If you think the legacy media carried water for Obama and Biden, just wait until AOC runs. Here's a taste from Bloomberg on her appearance in Munich:
Note that Bloomberg claims that her only critics were "Republican commentators" who "claimed" -- lied, that means -- that she was "unprepared."
Everyone with eyes and ears understands she was hideously unprepared. The analogy that occurs to everyone is that she looked like a third grader who was supposed to give a book report but didn't read the book so she just "ummed" for a minute before saying "it was a very, very, very, very good book, thank you."
Amazingly, Bloomberg claims that after she seemingly "flubbed" her answer, she came up with a "cogent" response, which was to say that we'll just have to hope and pray that China never invades Taiwan so no I won't answer your question about whether we'd defend Taiwan and I won't even sound authoritative in refusing to answer.
And it's not just "Republican commentators" who thought she looked unprepared. Gay Race Communism harpies Krystal Ball and Anna Kasparian blasted her as "not ready for prime time" and "embarrassing" and less than "mediocre."
As did a whole flock of leftwing Bird-Hand leftist Tik Tokkers.
AOC was so "big mad" that she was being held to conventional standards of cogency and preparedness that she called upon her favorite New York Time propagandist to spin a story that Akshually She Was There to Spread the Good Word About Gay Race Communism and She Succeeded Brilliantly, and of course the New York Times "stenographer" was only too eager to rally for the cause.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had anticipated a potentially frosty reception to her anti-establishment arguments at the Munich Security Conference, a venue she called "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message."
And the visit to Germany felt high-stakes: It was the most prominent foreign trip to date by the progressive New York congresswoman, who had mostly focused on domestic priorities until now. Her remarks last week about addressing working-class concerns around the globe, and the reception from world leaders, were both eagerly awaited and highly scrutinized.
But rather than the substance of her arguments, it was her on-camera stumbles when answering questions about specific world affairs that rocketed around conservative social media and drove plenty of the discussion about her visit, as political observers speculated whether they would make a dent in a potential presidential run in 2028.
...
"This reporter came up to me and was like, 'Is Munich the new New Hampshire?' And I cannot say enough how out of touch and missing the point, genuinely, that is," Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview, referring to the state's tradition of hosting early presidential primary contests. "Global democracies are on fire the world over, and established parties are falling to right-wing populist movements."
To Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, the discourse about her visit had missed the more important point about the risks of authoritarianism -- an argument that she said had been well-received by the Europeans during two foreign policy panels, private meetings with German leaders and an address in a packed university auditorium in Berlin.
Yes, she wowed them in "private meetings." Just trust me, bro. The New York Times "reports" this account from a highly-biased source about her own awesomeness as if it's fact.
Update:
55 "an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message."
Europeans. Europeans are not responsive to a class-based message. Sure. Absolutely. Famously so.

The way her performance was microscopically dissected through the lens of what it meant for a hypothetical White House campaign frustrated AOC.
She said she worried that her message was being lost in all the commotion.https://t.co/KBeT3kaBzj

The most aggressively anti-American group in our country is academia. The sordid and tedious litany of hatred of traditional American culture in those hallowed halls is well documented. The obsessive pushing of the Marxist dialectic in all subjects, no matter how ridiculously tangential it might be is also documented. Racial and ethnic division as a tool to remake America? It has a home in our universities. The blurring of simple biological sex into a malaise of insane and incomprehensible "genders" and lunatic behaviors is accepted as normal by a shocking number of supposedly well-educated academics, and of course their mush-brained young students.
But their fanatical desire to sell our intellectual wealth to the highest bidder, especially if it is an enemy of America might be the worst thing they do!
If you have been to a major top-shelf university or research institution’s graduation ceremony in the last two decades, one thing that dramatically stands out is how many People’s Republic of China (PRC) nationals are receiving not just undergraduate degrees, but master’s degrees and PhDs in the most highly skilled STEM fields from biostatistics to quantum physics. From aerospace engineering to industrial design—PRC nationals are overrepresented to an outlandish degree.
Don’t forget, these are the places basic research starts, where the future technology is developed. This is also a zero-sum game with a finite number of positions. For each PRC national who is getting a PhD in a STEM field, that is one American who is not. They either don’t go, or have to find a lower-tier university to go to.
And sadly, our own government subsidizes this fifth column in the midst of our technological research!
Read the whole thing...CDR Salamander is always worth a read, and this essay is particularly on point.
America First must be all-encompassing, and must enter every facet of our society to be effective. Obviously our universities are savagely anti-American, but the fact that they are also pro-China should be a bridge too far. That China is assiduously working to further its own interests is normal. That America has so far not done anything like what the Chinese are doing is a sad commentary on how deeply the academic attitude of "America Last" has penetrated into our entire research effort.
The fix is simple: reserve 90% of all publicly funded academics for American citizens. Will we lose some bright foreign students? Absolutely. But the net benefit will dwarf what we are currently losing to the rest of the world.

Police identified the gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon as Robert Dorgan, a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants.
The 56-year-old father, who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink, used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night.
“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Goncalves said. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito.”
. . . A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket police station earlier in the day said the gunman was her father, who “has mental health issues” and was “very sick.”
The School District of New Richmond in Wisconsin secretly implemented a transgender bathroom policy, and on last Tuesday night during an explosive school board meeting, parents revolted en masse.
New Richmond, a small northwestern city of only 10,000, is like many communities in the region — mostly white, conservative, and broadly working and middle-class. It sits in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, where I’m currently running for Congress in 2026 and where President Trump won by more than 20 points in 2024. . .
. . . On Tuesday, I saw New Richmond fathers and mothers refuse to surrender. New Richmond leaders, however, did.
This is why all elections matter. From your local school board to your member of Congress. If we want schools that reflect our values and laws that protect our daughters, we must elect leaders willing to stand firm in their convictions, protect the vulnerable, and defend the truth.

Graphic erotic poetry written by Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell resurfaced this week, along with his past advocacy for pardoning two criminals convicted of killing law enforcement officers.
Swalwell, who announced his run for governor on late night TV, was born in Iowa and primarily raised in the San Francisco Bay Area with three younger brothers. He attended Campbell University in North Carolina starting in 1999, where he majored in government and politics and contributed to the student newspaper. One piece, a raunchy poem titled “Hungover From Burgundy,” depicts two lovers chasing each other, with blood coming into play as they kiss. The magazine described Swalwell at the time as an “active member of the Campbell University student body,” a writer for the Campbell Times and someone completing his third screenplay. (RELATED: Inside The Scenario Where Two Republicans Win California’s Jungle Primary)
“And there beauty was, formless and magnificent— A flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and She ran. Atop my hotel she stopped And I lept for cloth and tan, My anxious arm she bit— my scar is beautiful. While I screamed, She bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, Till blood rolled down our chins, For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting,” Swalwell wrote.
Given that this is Swalwell, I read the word "parting" as Farting".
Gu of course isn’t the first American athlete to defect to China, but she’s certainly the most prominent—and likely the most wealthy. According to Forbes, Gu is the fourth highest-paid female athlete in the world, in just a few years amassing a fortune worth some $23 million. Of that, only about $100,000 comes from skiing, and the rest from lucrative modeling contracts and major brand endorsements, many in China where Gu is a superstar.
This makes Gu an ideal ambassador and propagandist for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In that role, she has dutifully avoided answering even the most basic questions about her citizenship. To compete for China in the Olympics, Gu must have a Chinese passport, and since China doesn’t allow dual citizenship there has been speculation for years that she renounced her American citizenship.
Gu, who speaks Mandarin and spent time in China throughout her life, maintains a carefully cultivated public persona and refuses to engage any questions about her citizenship or her absentee American father, whose name isn’t public. She carefully redirects any politically tinged questions, adopts woke positions on most issues she does speak about, and reliably parrots CCP talking points about how wonderful and open China is.
Gu speaks Mandarin and has spent time in China her entire life, yet she lives, trains, and goes to school in America. She lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in San Francisco (Sea Cliff), attended the private prep school University High School (tuition $68,090), and has enjoyed all the benefits of a posh upbringing in the United States. Yet Gu competes for China on the world stage, and has enriched herself immensely from it.
This makes her a traitor, more or less. Or at the very least a defector—and a useful one. American news outlets are covering her like they did in the last one—hyping her up as if she’s an American athlete, not a Chinese one.
I haven't watched the Olympics in years, as I suspect neither have many of you for the same reasons that have led to the rapid decline of pro football, basketball, baseball and every other professional American sports league. All have degenerated into repositories of politicized, anti-American, amoral perversion. Oh well.
Have a great day.

What it does achieve is making it the easy things easy and the bad things also easy. Some people who really should know better jumped into the cheerleading:

I have no face and I must palm.
Before long, it became clear we did not have an AI agent uprising on our hands. These expressions of AI angst were likely written by humans, or at least prompted with human guidance, researchers have discovered.
"Every credential that was in [Moltbook's] Supabase was unsecured for some time," Ian Ahl, CTO at Permiso Security, explained to TechCrunch. "For a little bit of time, you could grab any token you wanted and pretend to be another agent on there, because it was all public and available."
There were in fact a hundred times as many accounts on Moltbook as there were Moltbots.
Moltbook was a hopelessly insecure social network for Moltbots, which is... Also hopelessly insecure.
Ahl's security tests of OpenClaw and Moltbook help illustrate Sorokin's point. Ahl created an AI agent of his own named Rufio and quickly discovered it was vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. This occurs when bad actors get an AI agent to respond to something - perhaps a post on Moltbook, or a line in an email - that tricks it into doing something it shouldn't do, like giving out account credentials or credit card information.

The Quotes of The Day
Quote I
These crimes were not isolated incidents constituting moments of poor judgment; they were textbook cases of grooming, involving a defendant who repeatedly leveraged tactics of isolation, manipulation, and control for the sake of her own selfish purposes. The egregious nature of the conduct was further compounded by the plain fact that the emotional and psychological harm she inflicted came at the expense of two of the very same young minds she had been entrusted to develop and nurture. Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago
The exchange stripped away any illusion about what drives these ICE agitators. After Jensen screamed "race traitor" at a Hispanic agent, he calmly explained they were hunting a child molester. She called him a liar. The other agent stepped in with a reality check: "If you actually cared, you would care about the child who got raped and also by the person who got murdered by the person we are looking for.”
That's when Jensen said the quiet part out loud. She admitted she didn't care. Then she pivoted to the standard talking point about how ICE should only go after "illegal, violent immigrants" before insisting "that's not what you are doing.” Except it was exactly what they were doing. They were literally chasing a suspect wanted for raping a child and murder.
“If you actually cared, you probably would care about the child who got raped and the person who got murdered by the person we’re looking for, but you see, you don’t care,” an ICE agent told Jensen.
“No, I don’t care,” Jensen admitted.

Shock: Democrats don't want to be seen around Biden, the man who garnered the most votes in American history, restored America's prestige, and presided over the "Biden Miracle Economy."
Former President Joe Biden will be feted by South Carolina Democrats later this month, to mark the sixth anniversary of his Palmetto State primary landslide, a comeback victory that rocketed Biden to the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and later the White House.
But with many Democrats still smarting from their party's major 2024 election setbacks, fueled in part by a very unpopular Biden presidency and the then-president's dropping his re-election bid amid serious questions about his physical and mental abilities following a disastrous debate with now-President Donald Trump, the South Carolina celebration appears to be an outlier.
As they seek office in gubernatorial and congressional races in this year's elections, nine candidates who served in the Biden administration appear to be keeping their distance from the former president, according to a new report from Axios.
Biden ended his presidency with approval and favorable ratings well underwater, and the 13 months since he left office have not apparently healed the damage done to his standing among those in his own party.
"Biden remains a liability," a veteran Democratic strategist who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, told Fox News Digital. "Being associated with the Biden administration is doing some candidates no favors as they run this year."
That's a switch from the 2018 elections, the previous midterm cycle when Trump was in office and the Democrats were out of power, when former President Barack Obama as well as then-former Vice President Biden were in demand on the campaign trail.

Among those not highlighting Biden this cycle is Deb Haaland, a former House member from New Mexico who served as Department of the Interior secretary in the Biden administration and is now running for governor in the blue-leaning state. The former president isn't mentioned on Haaland's campaign website.
Another example is Xavier Becerra, who served as secretary of Health and Human Services under Biden and is now running for California governor. The former president isn't mentioned in Becerra's campaign launch video.
Remember how Democrats conned this senile old fuck to abandon the race? They specifically promised him he would be hailed as a hero and praised from now until the end of all days.
Liars.
Even more shocking: Biden granted stealth "quiet amnesty," without congressional authorization, to nearly a million illegal aliens.
Officially, there are almost 3.8 million pending cases in the immigration court backlog, but more than eight years ago, at the outset of the first Trump administration, I suggested the true number of then-pending cases (a more modest 895,000) was higher than those official statistics displayed, thanks to a legal trick called "administrative closure".
As the BIA has described the practice: "Administrative closure ... is used to temporarily remove a case from an Immigration Judge's active calendar or from the Board's docket."
It continued:
[Administrative closure] is a docket management tool that is used to temporarily pause removal proceedings. Administrative closure is not a form of relief from removal and does not provide an alien with any immigration status. After a case has been administratively closed, either party may move to recalendar it before the Immigration Court ... or to reinstate the appeal before the Board. [Emphasis added.]
Put another way, administrative closure allows immigration judges and the BIA to shelve cases that it does not want to, or cannot, deal with, at least at the time of closure.
Another shock: Lisa Murkowski says she won't support the GOP-favored SAVE Act because she doesn't want to "federalize federal elections." (What?)
In other words, southern states, and only southern states, would again have to ask "mother may I?" from Congress to change the most trivial of state election laws.
"I want us to continue to reduce those barriers to Americans ability to vote," she said in a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, before the procedural vote, "whether it is geographic, whether it's logistical -- we certainly know about that in Alaska -- whether it's partisan, or some other form."
Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of democracy and American identity, Murkowski said.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would reinstate parts of the Civil Rights Era-law that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned in 2013. The centerpiece of the bill would restore the "preclearance" requirement. Until the Supreme Court struck it down, it required states with a history of discrimination to get the Justice Department to sign off before they change their voting rules.
It’s literally impossible for cowboys to have been here before the Spanish because horses weren’t here before the Spanish brought them over https://t.co/SCGSZCW4Hy
The vaquero (Spanish: [baˈkeɾo]; Portuguese: vaqueiro, European Portuguese: [vɐˈkɐjɾu]) is a horse-mounted livestock herder of a tradition that has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula and extensively developed in what is today Mexico (then New Spain) from a method brought to the Americas from Spain. The vaquero became the foundation for the North American cowboy, in Northern Mexico, Southwestern United States, Florida and Western Canada.
The cowboys of the Great Basin still use the term "buckaroo", which may be a corruption of vaquero, to describe themselves and their tradition.
Vaquero is literally pronouced backero. How is this a "may be" situation?
Is it fart-porn? I understand he's a flatulence exhibitionist. Butt-trumpets right on national TV.
California gubernatorial hopeful Eric Swalwell once penned a graphic, sex-charged college poem boasting of lovers "kissing till veins imploded and exploded" -- with "blood rolled down our chins," according to a report.
The Democrat, now running for governor, wrote the eyebrow-raising piece when he was a 19-year-old student enrolled at Campbell University, where he contributed to the literary magazine "The Lyricist" and also penned a column for the student newspaper, according to Daily Mail.
The poem, titled "Hungover From Burgundy," describes two partners meeting atop a hotel before having "formless and magnificent" sex in a "flurry of limbs and nails," with the narrator appearing to relish being bitten.
"While I screamed / She bent her lips to mine," the passage reads...
That's "The Royal She." Xe means ximself.
... adding the pair kept kissing "till veins imploded and exploded ... For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting."
"And there beauty was, formless and magnificent -- a flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and she ran," Swalwell wrote in the poem.
"Atop my hotel she stopped, and I lept for cloth and tan, my anxious arm she bit -- my scar is beautiful."
Swalwell continued: "While I screamed, she bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, till blood rolled down our chins, for bounded mouths cannot speak of parting."
"In the morning, I awoke beside beauty's shadow -- her form sloppy and her legs pale. My scar lost, my lips cracked and dry. And we groaned simultaneously."
It's so gay my dick just asked about garrett's mountain bike.
I'm going to use my psychic powers to read Eric Swalwell's gay mind.
