Virginia Judge: It's Unconstititional To Ban That a Repeat Convicted Child Sex Offender from Loitering Outside a Children's Swimming Pool

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The judge is so determined to set the pedophile free to molest children that he's decided that it's "unconstitutional" to mandate that a repeat sex offender who has admitted he gets off on exposing himself to children can't, well, go into the YWMC lockers when little girls are present and expose himself.

He insists that the pedophile maintains that right, and that anyone attempting to restrict him via the sex offender registry is violating the Constitution.

You may say, well at least Virginia will appeal this ruling.

Except the guy appealing it will be the incompetent DEI disaster Jay Jones who proudly wishes for his political opponents' children to be murdered.

Even if he were to appeal it legitimately and not deliberately tank it -- he'd wind up tanking it, because he's an incompetent who only has his position and his law degree due to DEI and white guilt.

This is where we are now -- pedophiles have a right to go into your children's locker rooms and show them their dick and balls.

Registered sex offender Richard Cox is facing charges in Arlington County for exposing himself to women and girls in school locker rooms, but the case was thrown out by an Arlington County Circuit Court judge.

For months in 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in Fairfax County and Arlington County. Those two counties allow people to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their chosen gender identity.

Cox claims he's a transgender woman.

"My civil rights as a transgender person allow me to use a public facility, including restrooms and changing rooms that identify as my gender," Cox can be heard saying to Fairfax County police in November 2024 on a police body-worn camera that 7News obtained.

Although Fairfax County police never arrested the registered sex offender for exposing himself to women and girls in rec center locker rooms throughout the county, Arlington County police did.

In 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in two high schools and a county fitness center in Arlington.

For that, the Arlington Commonwealth's Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti's office indicted the sex offender for loitering within 100 feet of schools and child swim and gymnastics classes, and exposing himself to women and girls in the locker rooms.

Cox asked a judge for the indictments to be dismissed and that's what happened.

Judge Daniel Lopez ruled the Virginia law under which Cox is being prosecuted void for vagueness under the Fourteenth Amendment.

...

The judge's core reasoning is that the statute criminalizes "loitering" within 100 feet of schools and child day programs by some convicted sex offenders, but does not define "loitering" or give standards for when it becomes a felony.

Loitering has a long-established legal meaning -- it means contriving to remain present at a place without having any legitimate business there. If you are barred by law from entering a child's swimming center, you cannot hang around the doors waiting for kids to come out. Because, what is your legitimate business at this place? You have none. You are barred from entry. Why are you there, then?

This is a significant ruling because it not only found an issue with how the statute was applied to Cox. It says the statute itself is constitutionally defective.

The Arlington prosecutor disagrees with the judge's decision and appealed.

The Court of Appeals accepted the case, and now Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones will represent the commonwealth on appeal.

Great.

For now, everything in the Arlington trial court is on hold.

Separately, Cox was recently convicted by a jury for possessing child pornography, which Arlington police found when they arrested him at Barcroft Sports and Fitness Center.

He brought the child porn to the children's locker rooms. Great.

Meanwhile, in Fairfax County, Cox is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in 1988.

"I want to see justice served," the victim told 7News Reporter Nick Minock.

Note he's been a rapist and a child sexual material offender from before he "became transgender."

Democrats Nominate Al Qaeda and Hamas-Linked Advocate for the WTC Bombing Mastermind for Congress

—Disinformation Expert Ace

January 6th protesters stole a chair and a coat-rack so MAGA must be purged.

Meanwhile, Democrats are electing actual Al Qaeda terrorists.

This cannot go on. And the good/bad news is-- it will not.

Via David Strom:

Joel Mowbray @joelmowbray

BREAKING -- A protege of the Jihadist behind the World Trade Center bombing, Adam Hamawy, has been declared the WINNER of the Dem primary in the solid Blue district.

Hamawy's mentor was Omar Abdel Rahman, known as the Blind Sheikh, who was close with Osama bin Laden.

...

Because it was such a crowded field, Hamawy got thru with just over a quarter of the vote. And since the district is very blue (61% for Kamala), this unrepentant Islamist will join Congress -- unless national Democrats can somehow force him aside.

They won't. They're all in. The Communists and Terrorists have, get this, joined forces.

Joe Biden's Childhood Stutter Crashes Doctor Jill's Book Promotion to Ask Her How Much She Loves Him

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The childhood stutter flares up from time to time, resulting in dementia.

Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill's debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady whom she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off.

Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book, "A View from the East Wing," with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage.

Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up to give her husband a standing ovation when the ex-president's seemingly unplanned speech began.

"I have a question," Biden said unprompted, and without a microphone, while flanked by security guards.

"Joe has a question, like you couldn't ask it later?" Jill responded.


"Who do you love most in the whole world?" Biden enquired.

Christmas, this is embarrassing.

"Whoopi," Jill answered, causing the audience to break into laughter.

As "The View" co-host tried to speak, Biden continued to stand and blankly face his wife, seemingly unhappy with her answer.

The former first lady eventually caved and said, "I love you most, Joe. Was that it? Was that the answer he wanted?"

"It's overwhelming, isn't it?" the 46th president continued -- barely audible without a microphone.

"Overwhelming, well, that's what keeps him on his toes, he's never 100% sure, I always keep him guessing, is that not true?" Jill said as her husband lowered his head and made the sign of the cross.

In an attempt to end the bizarre moment and wrap up the event, Goldberg encouraged the audience to purchase Jill's new book. But Biden remained standing and pointed his finger as the exit music played.


"My book...," Joe Biden began before a crew member came from backstage to hand him a microphone. "My book, which comes out in September, read it..."

"Do I have to remind him that this is my event?" Jill asked jokingly.

"The only thing that Jill does better than write, she's a beautiful woman," Biden declared before the event finally concluded.

Her vagina goes "vroom, vroom." You should hear it.

California Primary Results

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Although California will take days or weeks to full tabulate the " " " votes " " ", it appears that Karen Bass will take about 35% of the vote, Spencer Pratt will take 30%, and communist carpetbagger foreigner Nithya Raman 22%.

That means that Bass and Pratt will go on to the general election, which will be held on November 3rd.

Unless Karen Bass's fraudulent vote elves can print up enough fake votes to get her over 50%, in which case she wins immediately. But I think that's too big a lift even for the Democrat fraudsters of the Home of "Ballot Harvesting," California.

Ugh:

Byron York @ByronYork

54m

At the moment we have 58% of the votes counted in the California governor's race and 63% counted in the LA mayor's race. From NYT: "Most Californians vote by mail, and ballots postmarked on or before Election Day have one week to arrive. In the 2024 primary, about half of results were reported by 5 a.m. Eastern time the day after the election. It took 10 days before 95 percent of results were reported."

Assuming they can't "harvest" enough "votes" to get to 50%...

When I saw those numbers, my first thought was "that's terrible, that means the communist vote is 52% combined and Spencer Pratt will lose."

However...

Karen Bass is the incumbent and could not manage but a tiny bit more than one third support.

An incumbent with 35% support is an incumbent in trouble. Not all of Nithya Raman's voters will migrate to Bass -- after all, they're choosing against the obvious leftwing candidate, the incumbent, for a reason.

Also... the fact that we've established that the total universe for votes for leftwing candidates is right around 52% is bad news for Bass. That's her ceiling. It's a low ceiling.

Regarding the governor's race: the top two vote-getters were Obama/Biden non-entity and incompetent Xavier Bercerra and British FoxNews populist commentator Steve Hilton. Deranged billionaire Tom Steyr and Republican sheriff Chad Bianco finished beneath them. Given that there are still votes to count, and anything can happen in a Democrat-controlled 5th Quarter of voting, it's possible that either of those two could slip into the top two.

There have been reports that Xavier Bercerra used dubious means such as bots to boost the impression that he was the front-runner. It seems to have worked, and there's nothing to be done about that now. But bots aren't going to put him over the top in the general election -- that will require real fraudulent votes.


Other Democrats have already conceded defeat, including college teacher and the Native American demonic Spirit of Ravening Hunger, Fat Wendigo Katie Porter.

I don't think Bass or Bercerra will wear well over the next five months.

Scorned Woman Pelley Shrieks Out

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports

Scott Pelley is the face of the highest-rated newsmagazine on TV, and every "60 Minutes" staffer in the room reportedly gave him a standing ovation after this exchange.

The idea that Bari Weiss can blithely fire him without also committing institutional arson is naive.

Pelley did this because he has integrity-- but also because he has power.

Does he though...?

Dylan Byers @DylanByers

#SCOOP: Scott Pelley had a meeting with CBS News leadership at 5pm ET to discuss a path forward after his protest in 60 Minutes all-hands. The two sides did not find common ground and it now seems likely he will either resign or be fired, though neither has happened yet.

He was given a standing ovation by the other communist cultists in the room, which they were eager to tell the media that they were sure Nick Bilton could hear as he was walking away.

John Ondrasik @johnondrasik

The fact that every staffer stood and applauded is further proof that 60 minutes needs a full tear down.

And now: the bitch has been fired.

And I mean fired. CBS didn't just let his contract lapse without renewal, which they were obviously already planning to do.

Fired for cause, invalidating whatever time is left on his contract, and ending their obligation to pay him under it.

Gross insubordination is almost always a cause for a firing under the terms of a contract, and CBS exercised their right to fire for that reason.

And Pelley left them no choice. But this wasn't bravery. Again, he knew he was being let go. This flounce is all advertising for his substack and podcast, which I'm sure will be fair and objective, because that's what Scott Pelley insists he is.

CBS News axed veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday night, a day after after the longtime network star blasted editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and challenged her newly installed leadership team in a heated confrontation that exposed the widening civil war inside the iconic newsmagazine.

In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired "for cause effective immediately."

"[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt," Bilton wrote, referring to Monday's heated face-off between the journo and his boss.


Bilton further accused Pelley of staging a "performative display of hostility" and claimed he had "no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress."

By the way, Sex Machine Brian Stelter reported that Bilton had asked to meet with Pelley privately, before the meeting, to discuss next steps. Pelley refused to attend a private meeting, choosing instead this flouncing public tantrum.

Brian Stelter @brianstelter

Worth noting amid all the coverage of Scott Pelley's scathing criticism today: According to a person with knowledge of the matter, Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton sought out Pelley for a private meeting last week, but the longtime correspondent did not take them up on the offer to talk.

I think Pelley refused to attend that meeting because he expected they would tell him his contract was not being renewed "but we can talk about what your role will be as we wind down the time remaining on the contract."

And I have a source for that -- the source is It's F***ing Obvious, Jack! Open your ears, Jerky!

"I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama," Bilton wrote.


He went on to tell Pelley: "Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you."

At the meeting in question, Pelley told Bilton that the new leader had "slender" qualifications for the job and would "never be welcome here," sources previously told The Post.

Bilton fired back: "You are not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people."

The correspondent also accused Weiss of "murdering '60 Minutes'" and claimed she "was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that," according to sources familiar with the exchange.

The clash lasted roughly 15 minutes before Bilton ended the meeting and walked out.

The confrontation divided staffers at CBS News, with some insiders branding Pelley's behavior "bullying" and "grandstanding" -- and yet another reckoning that it was "a set-up," sources told The Post.

Nick Bilton had no choice. If an underling pulls bullshit like this, degrading you, undermining you, and attempting to pose as your superior, you have no choice but to fire him. Gross insubordination can't be tolerated in any organization, even as trivial and inconsequential one as television entertainment. (Which is all 60 Minutes is.)

And now -- He's quitting Twitter and he means it this time, guys!

He's written a long ranty entry in his Slam Book and he wants you all to read it!

Scott Pelley accused CBS News management under Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of trying to inject "falsehoods and bias" into reporting after the veteran correspondent was fired Tuesday.

Pelley, who spent 37 years at CBS News and became one of the most recognizable faces of "60 Minutes," leveled a series of extraordinary allegations against CBS News leadership without giving specifics.

"For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story," Pelley wrote. "I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."
Pelley claimed he repeatedly resisted those efforts.

"To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them," he said.


He also alleged that politicians had been given influence over editorial decisions.

"Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast," Pelley wrote. "Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done."

Let me translate that for you. The media decided ten years ago that Republicans were Nazis and that they could no longer report "both sides" because there are not two legitimate sides -- there is the Democrat side, and there is Evil.

Bari Weiss had previously demanded the CECOT story be held up so that she could receive comment from the targets of the hit-piece. Democrat operative Sheryl Alfonsi freaked -- You can't include comment from Trump! He is the Antichrist! His words are the lies of the Devil!

But of course getting and publishing comment or denial from the target of a hit piece had been standard ethical media practice... until ten years ago.

Bari Weiss demanded a return to the former media practice, which was still biased as hell but at least they'd include a denial at the end of the story, read with unmistakable contempt.

That's what Scott Pelley is shrieking out about -- he won't include the "lies and falsehoods" in his story, aka "the denial and comment from the Trump Administration officials he is running political hit pieces against."


Scott Pelley is so obviously a grandstanding bitch that even fired, disgraced CNN Thumb Chris Ciilizza sees through it.

Seen in the most pro-Pelley light, he chose to confront Bilton and Weiss in an all-hands gathering as a way to make his point as big and brightly as possible. Huddling behind closed doors with the bosses wouldn't properly convey his upset over the restructuring at "60 Minutes" etc etc.

Seen in a less pro-Pelley light, however, Pelley chose to do his "truth to power" thing not in hopes of actually changing anything but rather as a way to make it as performative as possible -- in a content age in which performative emotion is absolute gold.

The immediate leaking of the audio of Pelley's remarks to literally every media reporter suggests to me that the latter -- and admittedly more cynical -- explanation has real plausibility.

Because let's consider how the next few days are likely to go.

Pelley is very likely to get fired by CBS News. I mean, you can't blast both your immediate boss and your big boss and expect to keep your job. And I would assume Pelley knew that going in! Like, if/when he gets fired, he is not going to be super shocked.

And when he gets fired, Pelley will cut a video announcing he is starting a Substack where he will engage in "fearless" commentary about the capitulation of CBS (and all other media) to Trump and the almighty dollar.

And that Substack will immediately rack up lots and lots of subscribers. And Pelley will make money. Maybe lots of it. (We've seen this exact arc play out repeatedly in recent years.)

Cillizza admits that his media pals are a guild of dinosaurs who just can't accept the public has been increasingly rejecting them for ten years and that they need to change:

But there is also NO doubt that broadcast news -- and cable TV news -- are a dying product. The average age of a CBS News viewer is 62! NBC News is 57. ABC News is a "youthful" 55.

That's a problem. Because unless science figures out a way to get us all to live until we are 150, the reality is that the main clientele for what CBS News is offering -- yes, including "60 Minutes" -- is, quite literally, dying off.

Which is why I found myself vigorously nodding my head to the defense Bilton offered on Monday amid the Pelley barrage: "Broadcast is an ice cube that is melting."

YES. YES. YES.

No one -- presumably not even Pelley -- thinks that the solution to what ails big media is more of the same. Like, yes, "60 Minutes" still works! But for how long? And doesn't it make sense to look at your flagship products -- whether that's "60" or the evening news -- and say "How are we going to make this product continue to work amid massive disruption in how people want to consume content?"

To me, the answer is very obvious. Which is why Pelley's criticism -- You guys don't have decades of experience running a broadcast news division!!! -- rings false to me.

If I was Ellison -- or anyone who owns a legacy media brand -- I would want people in the decision-making room who AREN'T old hands at the thing the legacy media brand was built on. Because we know those legacy media content delivery vehicles -- linear TV, print newspapers etc. -- are dying off. And that no amount of expertise in how to make great-looking broadcast TV shows or put together a whiz-bang front page of the print newspaper is going to reverse the steep decline of people who consume their content that way.

...

But, again, the fact that neither Weiss nor Bilton have long experience in making TV seems to me more an asset than a detriment. CBS News (and every other legacy outlet) has to figure out new ways to reach people on new platforms. Why not have people -- like Weiss! -- who has done that?

Why then was there a rush to tout Pelley as a hero and Bilton and, by extension, Weiss, as the bad guy(s)?

Because I think a whole lot of journalists -- mostly tied to legacy media but also some in the independent space -- are still clinging to the idea that the way things worked up until 5-10 years ago can still work today and in the future.

They can't.

...

We've reached the "kill your darlings" stage of legacy media. The boat has already hit the iceberg. Now the only question is what we do about it. And doing the same old things -- or slight variations on the same old things -- ain't going to work.

Erick Erickson: "Alarming" Rumors Swirl About Graham Platner's Ejection from Elite Boarding School; More Is Coming About His "Behavior" with Women

—Disinformation Expert Ace

I was wondering about Larry O'Connor's statement from a few weeks back: That the Nazi tattoo is only the tip of the iceberg and much, much worse was coming.

Was the sexting with 6-12 women the "much, much worse"? Or is there more?

Apparently there's more. The really toxic stuff hasn't been released yet.

No one is saying it but it sounds like they're hinting about the r-word, and I don't mean his already established racism. This seems to be hinting about sexual misconduct of some kind.

The latest is the sexting scandal wherein Platner texted sexually explicit messages to a half-dozen to a dozen women. The original report was about a dozen women and the campaign says it was only about a half-dozen. From there came revelations that Platner has been on a social site called Kik, which is a favorite site of predators. And, bubbling to the surface are allegations that Platner might have left school for alarming reasons -- those are being whispered about right now.

Could cheating or an honor code violation be an "alarming reason"? I don't think so. It sounds like something more serious.

He writes about the various people shifting blame for Graham Platner's serial infidelity to the staffer who tipped the media after the texts were shared by his wife.

This includes a Washington Post "reporter," who took the odd position that the source who revealed relevant information about a political candidate should be shunned and banned from employment.

That doesn't sound like a "reporter."

That sounds like a Democrat Party fixer determined to punish those who leak the truth about Nazi candidates:

loisromanodemocratoperative.jpg

After people questioned why a "journalist" is so committed to covering up the truth from the public, she deleted that tweet -- and has refused to answer questions about it since.

Of course, Democrat Socialists are also blaming... the Jews. See his substack for that, with a DSA "former campaign staffer" attacking a NYT journalist who wrote about the Platner affairs for having belonged to a "Students for Israel" group in college.

This is where I used to say "unbelievable" but of course it's not unbelievable, it's mainstream Democrat Communist/Nazi/Jihadist Party agitation.

As I've pointed out myself, he notes that when Graham Platner talks vaguely about problems he's had in his marriage, he's talking about a "marriage" that isn't yet three years old. He was sexting with strange women from his wedding day.

And his "redemption arc" is now only weeks or months old -- his wife brought these sexts to the attention of the campaign after it started, which is less than a year old.

He only covered up his SS Death's Head concentration camp guard tattoo a few months ago!

So all the "talks" and "growth" he's talking about -- happened in the past few months.

Back to Erickson, and hints about what kind of "alarming reasons" led to the rich bitch nepo baby's ejection from tony Hotchkiss Academy:

...

The man has a Nazi tattoo. He said soldiers in combat deserved to die. He blamed Susan Collins for sending him to war, despite volunteering repeatedly, even going back with Blackwater. He bragged about killing people. He fantasized about rape and said rape victims deserved some blame. He bragged about taking leave to have sex with prostitutes in Southeast Asia. And he claimed he can't get in a porta-potty without masturbating and fantasizing.

I didn't hear about the fantasies about rape, but it's very ominous when combined with the next sentence:

Soon we'll get the even worse allegations against him and what he did to women beyond fantasy.

Just remember that the Democrats have stuck with him. Eventually, the PodBros, Bulwark, and the rest will abandon Graham Platner. Once they're done blaming the Jews, the victims, the women around Platner, the Republicans, and others -- they'll abandon him. What's coming will force them to abandon him.

And when they finally flee, remember they were comfortable with him through all of these things -- things that all point to where the next accusations will be.

I can't wait for the Tucker Carlson interview.

Obviously I don't know anything about this, but I am able to read words and infer the meanings they're implying.

Now I wondered, if there's an absolutely radioactive attack coming, why is it being held? The primary is in six days, next Tuesday.

But of course Janet Mills has announced she remains a candidate in the race, albeit one whose campaign is suspended. So Democrats could abandon Platner and vote for Mills instead.

So I think this hit is being held until after they're locked into Platner, after they've chained themselves to his stinking corpse.

Or who knows, maybe this is a false op designed to scare Democrats off of Platner.

I guess we'll see.

In his interview with Two-Way, he says that classmates are talking about the reasons for his ejection from Hotchkiss, and "reporters are circling," and, once again, "women" specifically are talking about it.

Why would women in particular be talking about it if it's just about, say, an underaged DUI? Seems that the allegations have something specifically to do with women.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Rhyme

Despite most of the Horde not yet reaching the age of 29, many nonetheless have memories that go back much further. This is a temporal oddity, but a useful one. As a result, many will remember the period 30 years ago. A lot was going on the interregnum between the fall of the USSR and the rise of globalization and Islamic extremism. Economically and financially, this era was defined by high finance (though not as much was the mid-aughts would be) and high technology. The latter, fueled by the promise of the Internet and manic irrationality brought us what is now usually referred to as the "dot-com bubble."

Companies with no profits, no real plan to become profitable and in some cases even without meaningful revenues went public and raked in credulous investor capital. Other companies saw staggering growth in valuations as already-public companies that became major players in internet infrastructure were handsomely rewarded by the mania. Not all of the latter companies failed, but many never recovered and have never achieved their dot-com heights in the thirty years since. The narrative of invincibility became a narrative of dread as it the mania collapsed. The aftermath of the dot-com bubble took years to shake out, and set up some of the environment that led directly to the subsequent 2008 "Global Financial Crisis" and the following Eurozone debt crises.

Good old Bart is considered one of the many Caravaggisti, and it is obvious that he embraced Caravaggio's style, and quite well!

From the Getty Museum website:

Bartolomeo Manfredi was known throughout Italy and beyond as Caravaggio's closest follower. More than simply copying Caravaggio's style, Manfredi reinterpreted his subjects and rendered new ones, while drawing upon and propagating Caravaggesque naturalism and dramatic use of chiaroscuro.

The Morning Report — 6/ 3 /26

HamawySammich.jpg

Good morning kids. While it certainly looks as if Graham "Oyster cracker" Platner is on the verge of going kerSPLATner. Sure he's utterly horrendous on every level. But he's not a one-off considering this happened just down the coast in New Jersey:

Adam Hamawy, a controversial candidate who previously volunteered with an al-Qaeda-linked group, has won the Democrat primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s (D-NJ) seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Hamawy, who was endorsed by the so-called “Squad,” became a lightning rod for criticism on the campaign trail due to his intense criticism of Israel and his having volunteered with the Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia, per the New York Post:

An Iraq War veteran, Hamawy has made national headlines for saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill) life after a helicopter crash as well as for his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip.

How "controversial" could he have been and still come out on top let alone even be a candidate? Yes New Jersey, especially the bedroom communities/counties near NYC are leftist dominated with growing populations of Muslims from some of the worst Islamic hellholes on earth. The "Squad" are also not really outliers but represent more and more the majority of the Democrat base and ultimately are going to supplant the old guard allegedly "moderate" "liberal" leadership, bth those words in quotation marks for obvious reasons since Democrats are neither moderate nor liberal. Great he rescued Tammy Duckworth. This is kind of like Otto Skorzeny rescuing Mussolini.

Be that as it may, the Democrat/Leftist party and movement is at war and has always been at war with Americans and America as founded. Unless and until the hatred of this nation its people history and heritage are utterly burned out of that Party's black heart, we'll never know a moment's peace. It's us or them and it's high time we realize it. Of course there are those allegedly on our side who won't and never will, and worse, will aid and abet in our destruction:

. . . the American conservatives whom Mike Pence is urging to take the high road can’t afford to pretend that doing so will ensure victory. We are not facing political opponents who can be lectured into behaving more civilly. The late Freedom Center founder David Horowitz warned decades ago that we are at war with an enemy determined not to seek coexistence with us but to destroy us. Today’s Democrats call for and celebrate our murder, for God’s sake. They certainly won’t be shamed into cleaning up their language.

Pence writes that civility “is how we can find principled common ground in America.” This is a beautiful dream, but the reality is that Left and Right today have no common ground – none. There is literally no political issue – abortion, immigration, race, crime, education, the family, poverty, homelessness, national security, national sovereignty, the environment, foreign policy, religion – on which there is not a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between both sides. Even if there were a patch of common ground somewhere, the Left is not interested in tilling that soil, but craves total power. The idea that Republicans and Democrats can reach across the aisle and come together even in a grudging mutual respect is, sadly, a fantasy.

Yeah, about that civility:

There are judicial rulings that raise complex legal questions, and there are rulings that expose a deeper rot. Judge Leonie Brinkema’s decision to block the Justice Department’s Anti-Weaponization Fund belongs firmly in the latter category. What occurred here transcends a routine dispute over government spending — it is a profound assertion of judicial overreach. ..

The Anti-Weaponization Fund was established as part of a settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against the government regarding the unlawful disclosure of his tax information. The fund creates a pathway for individuals who believe they have been harmed by government weaponization or politically motivated “lawfare” to seek compensation. Predictably, this objective has drawn fierce opposition from the very circles that spent years insisting such weaponization either did not exist or was entirely justified. Their opposition tells its own story.

Mike Pence hasn't uttered a sound about this:

rioter was charged Friday “for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers” at a New Jersey illegal immigrant holding center on Thursday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X. Another individual was arrested after threatening to murder an immigration officer and his family, Blanche said Friday. The Department of Homeland Security arrested at least six rioters last Wednesday alone for allegedly assaulting law enforcement, while others were arrested in the subsequent days, ABC 6 reported.

The attacks took place outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New Jersey called Delaney Hall. Fox News reported that “agitators…were seen establishing a highly organized logistics and support operation before protests began at the site. Stockpiles of masks, duct tape, hard hats and medical supplies were laid out near the facility.”

If we really want civility, we'll get it in a nanosecond once we have summary executions of rioters. Until then Ponce Pence can shove civility where the sun don't shine.

Have a great day.

Primary Results Thread

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Correction: NY's primaries are on June 23, not tonight. Dan Goldman will not be booted out for another three weeks, alas.


Another big race: In New Jersey, the Blind Sheikh's lawyer and character witness, and member of an Al Qaeda front group, and the man who claimed there were no tunnels under the hospital he worked at (despite a Hamas commander being killed in those tunnels, will probably win.

Democrats also have a big primary in the solidly blue 12th District, where Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman is retiring. A whopping 13 candidates are on the ballot. The frontrunner is plastic surgeon Adam Hamawy, a progressive former Army physician who saved the life of now-Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois in Iraq (she's endorsed him). He leads the field with $1.0 million raised and has benefited from $1.6 million in outside support from American Priorities, a super PAC that supports progressive Democrats who are critical of Israel.

Still, the Egyptian-born Hamawy has attracted scrutiny over some connections from his past. This includes volunteering for a medical association in Bosnia in the mid-1990s that later was found to have ties to Al-Qaida, and a relationship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as "The Blind Sheikh," who was convicted for his role in the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.


I don't think I'll be posting much so check in with Ed Morrissey for more coverage.

In California, of course, we'll see the primaries for LA mayor and CA governor. The current top three candidates for governor are Obama/Biden corrupt non-entity Xavier Bercera, Republican Steve Hilton (that British populist who used to appear on Fox News), and evil billionaire lunatic Tom Steyr. I sure hope that Republican sheriff Chad Bianco can pull head so we can have two Republicans in the general, but I doubt it.

In the mayor's race, polling has it Basura first, Pratt second, and Nithya Raman third. Pratt has to hold on to second to make it to the general, and we also don't want Basura to get more than 50% of the "votes," because then she wins the contest without having to go the general.

Decision Desk's twitter account.


Update: You're not going to believe this, but another Zohran Mamdani-endorsed congressional candidate turns out to be a communist.

CNN:

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist congressional candidate endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, deleted a previous Twitter account that included thousands of posts and reposts expressing support for abolishing police, prisons and borders, as well as seizing private property and nationalizing major industries and calling into question Israel's right to exist.

Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old investigator at a public defender's office in New York City and doctoral student, has emerged as one of the most prominent left-wing challengers in the country after Mamdani endorsed her bid to unseat longtime Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York's 13th Congressional District.

But the posts from her since-deleted account from over the last decade have drawn scrutiny amid her high-profile challenge of Espaillat, a five-term incumbent and chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. That primary, scheduled for June 23, has become a closely watched proxy battle between the Democratic Party's establishment and its ascendant democratic-socialist wing, with Mamdani's endorsement last week elevating the race's national profile.

Democrats Meet With Nazi Feces-Fetishist Graham Platner To Ask If It's Just the Nazi Tattooo/Communism/Mockery of a Purple Heart Hero/Racism/Obsessive Sexting, Or If There's a Real Scandal Coming

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Spoiler: They're sticking with the Communist Nazi serial adulterer welfare layabout aroused by the smell of human waste.

Maine Democratic Senate primary frontrunner Graham Platner is scheduled to meet with Democratic senators in Washington on Tuesday afternoon, according to two people familiar with the plans.

Why it matters: The long-planned meeting will give senators an opportunity to ask Platner directly about allegations that he sent sexually explicit text messages to as many as a dozen women in 2023, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

Over the weekend, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) indicated he had questions about the allegations.

"Yes, I have concerns," Booker said on ABC News. "That guy has questions to answer. And that's what campaigns are for."

Zoom out: Democrats are increasingly concerned about Platner's viability in a must-win Senate race and whether the revelations about the text messages represent the campaign's final embarrassment -- or merely its latest.

...

State of play: Platner has disputed aspects of the reporting, but his campaign has not denied its central claim -- that he sent explicit text messages to other women after marrying in late 2023.

"Graham isn't saying the texts to other women at the start of the marriage are not real. They are," a campaign official told media outlets. "He's frustrated by the sensationalization of several private facts relayed by a former confidante to journalists."


Schumer would only say that the Democrats are going to beat Susan Collins.

"I met with Graham Platner today," Schumer told reporters at his weekly news conference. "We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate."

He also re-stated his endorsement of the Nazi.

NC Research
@RNCResearch

🚨 WATCH

Chuck Schumer dodges questions about Graham Platner FOUR times before doubling down on his endorsement.

SCHUMER: "Any other subject you got?"

Q: "Are you still supporting Graham Platner?"

SCHUMER: "I endorsed Graham Platner."


All the other Nazis are lining up behind their bearded beflanneled Reinhard Heydrich.

By the way, I'm not going to be covering the California mayoral and gubernatorial elections tonight. California may take weeks to " " " count " " " the " " " votes. " " " They need to figure out how many they need to manufacture and then manufacture them.

Democrats really enjoy "winning" "elections" in the 5th Quarter.

Protesters in Southampton Demand Police Take a Knee For Henry Nowak, The Man They Murdered

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Things are getting Mostly Peaceful.

Niall Ferguson @nfergus

"You are not likely to see Henry Nowak's words stenciled on a mural. No corporation will change its logo. The same establishment that made a few words immortal when spoken by a black man in Minneapolis has met the same words, spoken by a white boy dying on a British street, with what can only be described as a determined, institutional silence. That silence is not neutral. It is a statement. It tells you exactly whose suffering the system has decided counts, and whose does not."


"The system taught [the police], in effect, that an allegation of racism is a trump card that overrides normal investigative procedure, normal medical common sense, and normal human judgement. That system was built with the best of intentions, by people who genuinely wanted to address real injustices. And it has produced a policing culture in which a killer can stab a teenager five times, claim to be the victim of racism, and the police won't ask questions, until it's too late."

That's actually from Konstantin Kisin, writing here.

One Officer Resigns in Henry Nowak Police-Assisted Murder Scandal
Update: Protests Turn Mostly Peaceful

—Disinformation Expert Ace

I heard this hours ago but could not find the story about it.

But now it's confirmed:


Sky News
@SkyNews
BREAKING: One of the police officers involved in the arrest of Henry Nowak has resigned, according to Hampshire Police

https://trib.al/Rx0iR33


📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

Three of the other "police officers" participating in the police-assisted murder remain on staff, so this is obviously a cover-up.

People might say: "These cops were only doing what they were instructed by their higher-ups to do." That's right. But they're lower-level criminals in a greater criminal enterprise, and so we should do with them the same as we do with the small fish of a mafia or terrorist operation (which this actually resembles): Prosecute them until they agree to testify what the higher-ups told them to do.

I have no pity for them. If they're going to cover-up for the higher-ups, let justice be done without mercy.

In the prior post, I linked this MP stating that there was an official document instructing cops to treat blacks and Muslims more favorably than whites:

Is the UK in a State of Civil War Yet?
If Not, Why Not?

—Disinformation Expert Ace

hugecrowdoutsidehampshirepolicestation.jpg
Crowds gather outside the Hampshire Police Department,
aka Murder, Inc., to demand these Heroes stop lying about
their complicity in the murder of Henry Nowak

Gad Saad @GadSaad

May 31

The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.

And here's the inevitable: Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood warns that anyone talking about this case too honestly may be the next visited by the murderous police.

The problem is never the murder by a migrant (Digwa's parents are immigrants), the problem is your objection to murder by a migrant.

Home secretary Shabana Mahmood has warned "misinformation and inflammatory commentary is making a dreadful situation even worse" as anger over the case of Henry Nowak was stoked further by Nigel Farage who urged the public to respond with "pure cold rage".

In a statement to the Commons, she revealed that a police officer wrongly identified as having arrested the dying teenager has received death threats and been forced into hiding amid a "dangerous undercurrent".

Chilling video footage from the night Mr Nowak was killed shows police handcuffed the 18-year-old student as he lay on the floor, despite his repeated pleas that he could not breathe. He died shortly after.

In body-worn camera footage of the incident in Southampton, Mr Nowak can be heard repeatedly saying: "I've been stabbed," to which an officer replies: "Don't think you have, mate."

Sir Keir Starmer described the video as "harrowing", adding: "I have to say, as a father of a 17-year-old boy, I felt sick watching it."

Hampshire Police Federation condemned calls for "vigilante justice" against officers; the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) watchdog is investigating the handling of the case.

Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed Mr Nowak in December 2025 with a ceremonial knife with a 21cm blade after falsely accusing him of a racist attack. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years at Southampton Crown Court on Monday.

Mr Farage likened Mr Nowak's treatment to the killing of George Floyd and said it was evidence of a "two-tier culture".

In a video statement on Tuesday, the Reform UK leader called for a recognition that "white lives matter" as he referred to the Black Lives Matter movement which followed the murder of George Floyd in 2020.

Mr Farage said Mr Nowak was "actually treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder".

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh

🚨 BREAKING: Slain 18YO white male Henry Nowak's father just WENT OFF, saying the killer stabbed his son and police did NOTHING despite his imminent death

"Henry told officers he could not breathe **9 times**." 😢

He says the police FAILED and refused to believe him. The killer is now jailed.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?! BARBARIAN.

"Henry was pulled across the gravel his hands forced behind his back and he was placed in handcuffs. Instead of being treated as a dying victim the police formally arrested Henry for assault and read in his rights. That was the last thing he heard."

"Henry had been stabbed multiple times and as his chest filled with blood he tried to escape. He was chased, abused and filmed...when police arrived Henry was lying on the floor fairly able to sit up and plainly in severe medical distress. With his final words he told officers that he could not breathe. He told them he had been stabbed."

"The police have said they were misled by the murderers and that the scene when they arrived was complex."

"Unfortunately it seems to us the truth is much simpler. The police were told by our son himself and by a member of the public...but the police did not believe that."

"As a family we will not let this go. No other family should experience the heartbreak and horror of losing a child to knife crime."

"Finally, I want Henry to know. We are so proud of him and we love him."

His speech is here.

The Digwa family also released a statement, apparently in coordination with Sikh groups. The statement makes it sound, as Alex the Chick says, as this was just some accident, maybe a car accident.

I think it reads as if maybe Henry Nowak really was guilty of "racial abuse" and it just would have been better if the two people never met. Let's say both were at fault and call it a day.

Some people did some things, you know?

Digwa's mother spirited away the murder weapon and hid it. Digwa's brother placed a false emergency call to the cops to push the lie that the innocent student had "racially abused" Digwa, justifying stabbing him to death.

The father, apparently, "detained" the dying man.

"Detained." A man. Dying on the ground.

That sounds like he used physical force against a man his son had just stabbed to death (though he wasn't yet dead -- the cops would be needed to finish the job, egged on by Digwa and his father).


Oh -- and he concealed the fact that the man on the ground had been stabbed and was bleeding to death.

That's accessory to murder.


The mother was convicted of aiding in the crime.

Why aren't the brother and father under arrest?

Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick

I hope Hampshire Police and the CPS have a good explanation as to why Digwa's brother and father have not yet been charged.

His mother is being sentenced soon for removing the murder weapon from the crime scene.

If his brother and father knew Henry had been stabbed, are they not accessories too?

The brother called 999 to falsely report Henry for racially attacking the murderer.

The father physically detained a dying Henry until the police arrived.

None of them informed the police that Henry had been stabbed. All watched him die, handcuffed, on the ground.



Paul Weston
@PWestoff

Officers in Nowak arrest did nothing wrong, police watchdog claims! From the DT:

"The Telegraph understands that five officers initially attended the incident. The IOPC began reviewing the arrest the day after Mr Nowak died and says that so far there is no evidence that any of them committed misconduct.... all the officers are being treated as witnesses, rather than investigated over potential misconduct."

"Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary did not respond when asked whether the officers involved had been suspended."

"However, after the sentencing Mr Nowak's family members said that they understood some of the officers involved in his case remained on duty, while others had resigned."

@HantsPolice had better come clean sharpish. Their past and present behaviour could - and should - spark national civil-unrest

"Sharpish" is a good word.

White House: Rioters Outside of NJ ICE Facility Will be Prosecuted to the Fullest Extent of the Law
NGO Admits It's Giving the Orders to Riot

—Disinformation Expert Ace

It's time to start getting rough with the terrorists.

The White House issued a stark warning Monday to rioters protesting a federal immigration detention center in Newark, stating that riots will not be tolerated and those who engage in such activity will be "arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

The protests escalated into riots over the weekend after some demonstrators threw projectiles, grabbed security barriers and set fires outside ICE's Delaney Hall facility. New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill even acknowledged early Sunday that some had engaged in "dangerous actions" against local police.

...

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka imposed an emergency curfew over the weekend in an attempt to quell the unrest. The curfew, which remains in effect, covers a half-mile radius around the ICE facility, outlawing civilians in the area from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Democrat politicians stoke up the rioters and then impose a curfew on everyone because the monsters they feed have gotten out of control.

Meanwhile, the NGO-paid antifa and BLM terrorists swarm in from all over the country to riot:

Jimmy Kimmel Cries That His Show Will End the Way Colbert's Did (And for the Same Reason)

—Disinformation Expert Ace

God save us from effeminate, histrionic men.

Yes, Jimmy, you will go the way that Colbert went, because you both are anti-talents losing the shareholders tens of millions per year.

The left is crowing that the replacement for Colbert's show is only drawing 878,000 viewers.

A bit better than it did when it was on at like 1:30 in the morning.

But it has a different business model: Byron Allen pays CBS for the hour, and collects the advertising revenue himself.

CBS lost $40 million per year to produce The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which attracted around 2.1 million viewers.

CBS is profiting $15 million per year to air Comics Unleashed, which attracted 878,000 in its debut.

Because Allen is paying CBS that $15 million.

Which is the better business decision? Losing $40 million per year, or profiting $15 million per year?

Are you still with me? This is about to get even more complicated...

After buying Colbert's former timeslot from CBS, Byron Allen will keep the proceeds from whatever advertising he sells. This means that whatever money he takes in above the $15 million license fee and the costs involved to produce Comics Unleashed (which must be a pittance) is pure profit.

"We're proud to partner with Byron Allen on a new business and programming model for late night that... was cost-prohibitive to continue," a statement from CBS read. "With this 'time buy' model, we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly $40 million annually to $15 million in profit -- a $55 million swing."

So Jimmy Kimmel is doing what weak manipulative narcissists do, and whining that people should pay attention to him and pity him.

Jimmy Kimmel has some thoughts on the purported death of late-night television.

The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host opened up in a new interview with Vulture about the future of the genre following the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" on CBS and his own run-ins with Trump, including his suspension following comments made about the death of Charlie Kirk.

"I feel a little bit defeated about it," Kimmel told Vulture after Colbert's final episode aired on May 21. "In a lot of ways, I feel like I'm looking at my own future."

Diabetes?

CBS canceled "The Late Show" in July 2025 -- a year before Colbert's three-year deal was set to end -- citing "purely financial reasons" despite much speculation that Colbert's anti-Trump views had something to do with it, especially with the Paramount-Skydance merger in the background. Though it was reported that Colbert's show was losing $40 million a year, Kimmel told Vulture he finds that hard to believe, pointing to a 2023 New York Times article that claims Colbert was offered a five-year contract but decided to go with three.

"Am I to believe that over the course of those two years, they suddenly started losing $40 million a year?" he said. "These are just made-up numbers."

Like a liberal, he makes up his own "facts" to justify and validate himself.

Kimmel said that ABC has told him "quite specifically" that his show is still profitable.

"There are far more people watching late-night TV than there ever were, if you look at the number of views me and my colleagues get online every day and add in our linear-television ratings," Kimmel asserted, adding: "We're not just dying of natural causes. We're being poisoned."

Are you actually insane?!?

Johnny Carson had 10-17 million viewers per night -- "only" 12 million per night in his last years.

Jimmy Kimmel's ratings range between 1.7 million and 2.2 million.

He's claiming that millions and millions and more uncounted millions watch him on YouTube. Whatever. Fat retard making shit up to make himself feel like a success.

...

Asked if he has thought about retirement, Kimmel said he's still unsure when his time will come. "It's important to me to be responsible," he said. "I know I could go out in a blaze of glory and get a lot of applause for it, but it would be a very selfish thing to do."

LOL. He does this every night. Except it's not glorious. It's just self-pleasing and selfish.

That is, if he isn't ousted first. Trump has repeatedly called for Kimmel to be fired, most recently when he made a joke about Melania Trump having a "glow like an expectant widow." In that case and that of Kirk, Kimmel said he "had the truth on my side as a defense. What if I actually do do something wrong? I mean, that's inevitable."

Of the president, Kimmel said: "I don't love him. I don't hate him, either. I feel sorry for him. He obviously didn't get hugged a lot."

Uh-huh.

Meanwhile, ABC is suing the FCC to claim that The View really is a "bona fide news program" and therefore not required to follow "equal time" rules.

Bona fide news content. Shyah.

On May 7, 2026, ABC submitted a filing to the Federal Communications Commission arguing the FCC infringed on the network's First Amendment rights.

ABC submitted the filing after the FCC asked an ABC-owned broadcast station in March to file a formal request for the FCC to determine whether ABC's "The View" is exempt from the FCC's equal opportunities rule, even though the talk show has held an exemption from the rule since 2002.

The equal opportunities rule says that if a legally qualified candidate for office appears on a broadcast station, that station is required to give equal time to all other candidates who request it.

"The View" holds one of several exemptions from the rule, what's known as the "bona fide news interview" exemption.

In its May 7 filing, ABC makes the case that "The View" continues to meet the requirements for the exemption and raises First Amendment concerns about the FCC's request that the station ask the agency to reaffirm its exemption, as well as about the FCC's general application of the rule.

The FCC has not publicly released the March document but has made statements defending the decision and its interpretation of the equal opportunities rule.

The request came months after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said he didn't believe "The View," and similar daytime and late-night talk shows, should qualify, citing concerns about partisan bias on the shows.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met
Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men
But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi

Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time?
It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.

He's referring to three mass attacks committed by white men in, oh, the past six or eight years. There were a huge number of mass shootings and bombings he had to skip over to cherry pick three committed by white men. Which kind of makes me think that "white men" are not the greatest terrorist threat in our country.
No, I doubt he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson. The only thing that Tucker clings to that he claims makes him "conservative" is a palpable hatred of gays.
