Podcast: In a short segment, CBD and Sefton chat about Democrat violence and their ignorance of traditional America, Trump's economy, and more!

Marines Explore Counter-Drone Capabilities for Amphibious Combat Vehicle Amid Growing Threats People in the know, worry...a lot! about drone warfare. [CBD]

Podcast: CBD and Sefton are joined by Vox Clamantis, a career federal prosecutor. We discuss what Due Process actually is, and how it applies to deportation, what the Trump administration can do to combat judicial overreach, and more!

Economic Genius! Let's Have a $50 Minimum Wage! [CBD]

Then and now: Jamie Raskin decrying using the government to punish a party's enemies vs. Jamie Raskin threatening to punish any foreign country which cooperates with Trump

Stephen Miller: The courts are attempting to unconstitutionally enshrine open borders into law by imposing an "infinite process" on deportations.
They're too cowardly to admit what they're doing and just say, "We don't like the way they people voted and who they voted for, so we're deposing the president through a judicial coup." Instead, they're just making it so that we can have a nominal law that allows the deportations of foreign criminals and gang members, but we're also going to impose "due process" requirements that will guarantee all illegals a lifetime residency in the US.

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: The Last Days of Yacht Rock Edition
Introduce me to that big blonde
She's got a touch of Tuesday Weld
She's wearing Ambush and a French twist
She's got us wild and she can tell
80% yacht, 20% rock.

George Clooney now looks like Bela Lugosi from Ed Wood
In this "interview," Jake Tapper claims that Clooney writing an op-ed at the instigation of Barack Obama was "brave," and Clooney returns the favor by telling Jake Tapper that "journalists" are brave and irreplaceable. It's the world's least enticing gay porn.

Prepare for a shock: Former (?) Handgun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper lies about the background of his hard-left political agitator guest, presenting him as merely an "FSU student" and allowing him to claim Republicans have blood on their hands for the recent school shooting

However, D'Onofrio isn't some dispassionate observer. He's not just some random FSU student. It doesn't sound like he was anywhere in the neighborhood of the shooting, either. He was brought on primarily to talk about the politics, but was presented as an FSU student to try and leverage sympathy for his position.

But let's also remember, once again, that the alleged killer was prohibited from buying any kind of firearm in the state of Florida. He stole a firearm owned by his police officer mother. He carried a firearm into a gun-free zone. Florida's permitless carry only applies to people over 21, so he wasn't covered by that. No one used a red flag law to disarm him.

At every level, he broke the law. None of the laws sold to the people of Florida as necessary to prevent a tragedy worked to prevent this tragedy, and yet it's somehow the fault of people who recognize that?

The Pope has died. [Weirddave]

The price of eggs has dropped from an average of $8/dozen to $3.13/dozen but Democrats are claiming Easter eggs prices are up. I guess all of the non- or anti-Christian "fact" checkers in the media are taking the day off, for some reason.

Trump offers Easter wishes
Happy Easter!
BTW, I read that this is the first time in years the White House website has offered an Easter prayer. Every other religion and fake religion got promoted by Biden, but not Christianity.
Oh, and NPR's Easter story is that "Trump seeks corporate sponsors for Easter egg roll." Obviously every president does this, but this communist propaganda organization only points it out now, after having denied the Biden's family influence-farming operations for a decade.

An idiot congressman tries to get us into a shooting war with Russia! Brian Fitzpatrick represents Pennsylvania... very, very poorly. [CBD]

"With Love, Megyn:" Megyn Kelly launches lifestyle show to compete with fellow Megan Meghan Markle

Trump and Meloni silence a hissy Italian "journalist"

Trump commented on the Biden Presidency: "Worst administration in our country's history. Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why? Because he wasn't the worst president, Joe Biden was."

Murderer in FSU shooting identified; he is the son of a sheriff's deputy who had access to his mother's guns

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: Police say the suspect in the FSU shooting is 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, the son of a Leon County, FL Sheriff's deputy. Police say he "unfortunately" had access to her gun, and the gun was used in the shooting.
2 deceased -- not believed to be students.

Biden's FBI Ordered TN Highway Patrol to Release 'Maryland Man' Recently Deported to El Salvador After He Was Detained in 2022 Traffic Stop on Suspicion of Human Trafficking
Sounds like this guy is in exactly the correct place: out of America and in an El Salvador prison! Thank you President Trump! [CBD]

New York Yankees Recommit To 'Diversity Initiatives' After Push To End DEI Go Red Sox! [CBD]

Podcast: CBD and Sefton chat about Iran, and the unfortunate fact that only America can deal with them militarily, the nonsense that the media are spewing about the illegals being deported, Harvard's pomposity, and more!

Trust in the Brussels commission, the executive branch of the EU, has plunged from 52% to 46% throughout the union. In Britain, the commission is trusted by 31% and distrusted by 38%. Fall-out from the recent French and Dutch campaigns for the EU constitution referendum has prompted a fundamental rethink across Europe about the future of Brussels, the majority of Europeans believing the European Commission’s budget should be frozen. The cascade of negative data from the study is the most severe since records began in 1975... Particular dismay with the EU was found in Britain, where a majority – 42% to 40% – believe the UK has not benefited from its 30-year membership and only 36% of those questioned considered membership “a good thing”. Here's the basic theory behind the EU: Take a bunch of dysfunctional, backbiting fuck-ups and aggregate them into a big group of dysfunctional, backbiting fuck-ups, and all problems will be solved out of this gestalt (German for "cretinous clusterfuck"). After all: It worked in the Police Academy movies. posted by Ace at 02:13 PM Comments Dude, you killed their server...

I just love magical thinking, don't you? Posted by: Mikey on November 8, 2005 03:06 PM A six-point drop is a "crash?" I wonder how you would characterize Bush's poll numbers. Personally, I would consider a six-point drop more akin to a "dip." Posted by: Matt on November 8, 2005 03:33 PM The Bad News Bears did it first. Or maybe the Dirty Dozen. Or maybe Jack Lemmon's The Wackiest Ship in the Army (1960), although the resemblance to Cary Grant's Operation Petticoat (1959) is unmistakable. Posted by: Phinn on November 8, 2005 04:01 PM I wonder how you would characterize Bush's poll numbers. Better than the EU's? Posted by: Tony on November 8, 2005 06:42 PM Frankly, I'm surprised the numbers are still so high. One British journalist (I forget which) had a long-standing wager with his readers: he would award a bottle of fine wine (or was it champagne?) to anyone who could name a benefit the UK received from the EU that he couldn't effectively debunk. The EU parliament is unelected, corrupt, petty, self-serving and self-important, out of touch, greedy...imagine the UN, but with a blank check and complete veto power over everyone's national sovereignty. Posted by: S. Weasel on November 8, 2005 07:03 PM And the current situation in France does not help either. If I could, I'd vote to dismantle this EU and restart with a free-trade zone without all the political and regulatory baggage.
