Hobby Thread - July 26, 2025 [TRex]

—Open Blogger

20250726-20250726-sunflowers.jpg

Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. We gave the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies(TM) a spin and it wobbled and lurched and shook and made terrible scraping sounds. Apparently, it either needs a tune-up or a vacation. Either way, the wheel was of no help which means this edition of the Hobby Thread is a random grab-bag of miscellaneous content.

I have faith that you can either find something in the content that resonates or contribute your own hobbying interests.

You might be tempted to say "I have no hobbies or interests." Bah. Dig around in the content and soak in the comments. Be curious. Glad you're here.

Hello,

I hope you can help me. I've been a (really) long-time lurker at Ace of Spades HQ, and was wondering if you still have links to the old gardening threads.

Way back when-- unfortunately, I don't have a date, or this would be much easier -- there was a thread on Christmas/Thanksgiving cactuses. The advice in it was invaluable..... among other things, we finally understood why my father's cactus, would bloom twice a year, once around thanksgiving, and once again in early spring.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to save the thread, and various internet searches have turned up nothing.

Is there any hope?

Thanks,
Heather

There's a video with information in the post on 12/2/23 and more information on 11/22/14.

There are a couple of other mentions and photos, too. Anybody else have tips on growing these cacti?

After Russiagate, where do you go for news?

—K.T.

colbbert.jpg

Above, a cartoon borrowed from a lefty. I'm surprised that he's still hanging on to this issue. Can't decide if that lefty agrees that networks like the one Colbert dissed should die, too. Would you be okay with that?
The Colbert kerfuffle is widely misrepresented as involving his cancelation after CBS gave in to Trump concerning the way Trump was portrayed on CBS. But remember that Trump's lawsuit concerned the refusal of CBS to release the transcript of the interview of Kamala Harris on "60 Minutes". It was NOT about programs like Colbert's criticizing Trump.

One of my lefty's own commenters said, "He's still alive but no longer caged!" What repression!

Their misrepresentation of the Trump suit against CBS in current memes demonstrates that they aren't used to people fighting back.

He then posted a worrisome meme about the impending transformation of CBS into another Fox News with the upcoming buy-out of the network. You get the idea . . . Progressives are under siege in the mainstream media. Heh.

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

—Misanthropic Humanitarian (ONT Cob Emeritus)

Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. As much as I love coffee it does not inspire me to utter unsolicited opinions. I can do that on my very own, thank you very much.

So before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few housekeeping matters to take care of. (Rulz for those of you in Valders)

1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate or try all three!
B) Be kind, be nice. Trolls have feelings or so I'm told.
3) No. You will not have our endorsement or condolences if you run with sharp objects.
D) A big Thank You to Annie for her stellar work on the Prayer Revival.
5) Finally, please have a wonderful weekend.

The Week in Woke

—Ace

Adi @Adi13

Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney [George's wretched wife], you passionately called for the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged 'genocide in Gaza.' Yet, curiously, as the daughter of a Syrian Druze father, you've remained silent while over 1,000 Syrian Druze have been massacred, amid reports of rape, abduction, and other atrocities. But since Jews aren't involved, the story seems to attract far less attention.

House Judiciary Committee: Biden's FBI smeared Catholics as terrorists.

The 51-page report comes after the FBI under former director Christopher Wray circulated an internal memo dubbed the Richmond Memorandum, created by the Richmond field office in 2023, which labeled traditional Catholics as "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists."

The report accuses the bureau of creating a "manufactured narrative to insert federal law-enforcement agents into places of worship." The report includes revelations that the FBI allegedly spied on a priest because he refused to discuss a private conversation that he had with a parishioner.

...

"There appeared to be no legitimate law-enforcement purpose for investigating this priest," the report determined. "This new information suggests that the FBI's religious liberty abuses were more widespread than the FBI initially admitted and led the public to believe."

The report also found that the Richmond memorandum was not an isolated incident as previously believed, and that terms like "Radical Traditionalist Catholic" were used in 13 documents between 2009 and 2023.

"These new findings make it apparent that the FBI under President Biden and Director Wray withheld key information responsive to the Committee's oversight," the report reads. "The Committee remains committed to conducting oversight of the Biden-Harris Administration's abuse of federal law-enforcement resources against Catholic Americans."

New York has settled with a Christian photographer they illegally coerced into photographing gay weddings.

New York ended four years of litigation by Christian wedding photographer Emilee Carpenter by paying her $225,000 in legal fees and promising not to enforce several laws that infringe Carpenter's First Amendment rights, leaving her free to avoid photographing same-sex weddings.

The consent decree between Attorney General Letitia James and Carpenter's lawyers at the Alliance Defending Freedom follows a May ruling by U.S. District Judge Frank Geraci, nominated by President Obama, that it was "beyond debate" the Empire State cannot apply public accommodations laws to "expressive activity to compel speech."

The Democrat Party has endorsed Minneapolis Mayor Jonathan Frey's socialist Somali challenger.

From KSTP:

Minneapolis DFL Chair John Maraist confirmed to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that State Sen. Omar Fateh won the party's endorsement through a show of badges on Saturday night.

An endorsement of Fateh, who is running as a Democratic Socialist, would create a unique moment for the city's DFL Party, possibly signaling a further shift for the party.

"People are starting to accept, you know, some more socialist and more, you know, to the left politics, which, in my view, is a good thing. It's a progressive thing," said Colton Baldus, a delegate in support of Fateh.

Current Mayor Jacob Frey's campaign manager released the following statement:

"This election should be decided by the entire city rather than the small group of people who became delegates, particularly in light of the extremely flawed and irregular conduct of this convention. Voters will now have a clear choice between the records and leadership of Sen. Fateh and Mayor Frey. We look forward to taking our vision to the voters in November."

I saw someone point out that Frey kneeled and cried for George Floyd. But he just wasn't woke enough for today's Democrat Communist Party.

From Instapundit, the San Fransisco Standard reports that businesses are hiring "etiquette coaches" to instruct Gen Z savages on proper workplace dress and decorum.

They want to be promoted after only a few months, treat the office like their bedroom, show up in sweats or skimpy office-siren fits, FaceTime friends from their desks, and ghost their managers.

This is the gist of employer complaints about Gen Z workers, who seem to be having a uniquely hard time getting along in the office -- much worse, managers say, than the generations before them. In a December 2024 survey of 1,000 employers by Intelligent.com, 12.5% said a Gen Z candidate had brought Mom or Dad to a job interview. The bosses are fed up.

Gen Zers, meanwhile, see things differently: From their perspective, millennial and Gen X managers have no work-life balance.

In other words: they work at work.

The generational divide has become starker in the past few months, as return-to-office policies have brought in Gen Zers for the first time -- in many cases after years of working and attending school remotely. In the Bay Area, the culture clash has led employers to a new solution: hiring etiquette experts to train young employees in basic workplace manners.

Rosalinda Randall, a Marin-based etiquette coach, said inquiries have risen 50% over the last two months. The requests come from tech campus managers, winery execs, and even country clubs. All are a variation on the same complaint: Gen Z employees are treating the office like an extension of their homes.

Netflix will not be renewing their $100 million deal to feature the non-prince Harry and the non-duchess Megan in stupid podcast-level "shows."

Netflix will not be renewing their eye-popping $100 million deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed the lucrative deal in 2020 to earn some cash after quitting royal life and moving to the US.

However, the couple still have other plans for the future.

"There are more TV projects coming soon with both the duke and duchess," a source told Page Six. They also are set to sign a first-look deal with the streamer when their exclusive deal ends this year.

Ugh. I think a first-look deal is just a kind of option. You're selling the option to someone to have the first chance to buy a show. It's much, much cheaper than buying a show. Like an option to produce a screenplay might cost $10,000, but if the screenplay is actually produced, you'd get $100,000.

So I don't think this is a big payday for the unemployed losers but still Netflix is paying them for something. Why? Do they literally just want to spend themselves into unprofitability? After three years of wretched duds that no one likes, what is left of the Markles that you'd need a "first look" contract for?

Where are the lefties screaming about this? The Markles are woke AF, too. Shouldn't they be guaranteed lifetime media contracts like Stephen Colbert?

Woke is officially dead. Celebrities are now denouncing wokeness without fear of cancellation.

Legendary musician Billy Joel told Bill Maher he doesn't care if the far left complains about his statements or music anymore.

During the latest episode of Maher's "Club Random" podcast released Monday, the two discussed the "woke" left's reaction to anything it disagrees with, with Joel admitting he is over being concerned about what that group thinks of him.

"At this point... I'm inured to it," Joel said in reply to Maher asking if he doesn't care if woke people criticize him any longer.

...


The host continued, noting how mad leftists get when people don't declare, "'Trump's the worst.'"

...

"And you don't care what they say about you -- the woke?" Maher asked.

"At this point, no," the musician replied, though he noted how he tries to understand the point of view of people who disagree with him.

In the UK, students were told to wear clothing advertising their cultures and ethnic identities.

A native-born British girl wore a Union Jack dress. She was kicked out of school and could not return until she changed. Turns out the school only meant "burkas." Anyone celebrating their British identity is a racist.

The UK needs their own Trump:

Ninth Circuit Panel: No, You Can't Discriminate Against Christians Just Because They Refuse To Say They'd Support Transing Their Children

—Ace

Oregon attempted to block a Christian woman from adopting a child because she refused to say she'd support genital mutilation for the child if the child hypothetically decided to be "Trans."

The Ninth Circuit Court of appeals overturned Oregon's decision and rebuked them for blatant invidious discrimination.

Judges nominated by presidents Trump, Clinton and George W. Bush walk into a First Amendment case about compelled affirmation of gender identity and facilitation of medicalized transitions as a condition of adoption. The punchline may surprise you.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday blocked Oregon's Department of Human Services from denying Jessica Bates' application to adopt the siblings she is fostering based on her refusal to honor the asserted gender identity of "hypothetical adopted children" in speech or actions, with the Trump and Clinton nominees overruling the Bush nominee.

U.S District Judge Adrienne Nelson, nominated by President Biden, denied a preliminary injunction for the widowed Christian mother of five in 2023, arguing the failure to "respect a child's LGBTQ+ identity imposes collateral harm on the child's development, safety, and physical well-being."

Of course. Note that is the lowly district court judge making the original lawless ruling. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, acting through a three-judge panel, then overruled this woke cow.

Oregon has "training materials" for prospective adoptive parents, called "RAFT." One of the "guidances" this woke manual demands is fealty to the trans cause for all adoptive parents.

"Oregon only initiated its investigation into Bates's beliefs after she expressed disagreement with the RAFT training," which it said defines its "expectation" for adhering to the regulation that adoption applicants "respect, accept and support" the gender identity of adoptive children, said the opinion by Judge Daniel Bress, joined by Judge Michael Hawkins.

"In the context of raising children, such respect and support inevitably both restricts and compels speech," as Judge Nelson found, they said, dinging Bush nominee Judge Richard Clifton's dissent for botching the factual record and hence the correct review standards.

"The situation would be no different if the state had restricted parental speech favoring more 'progressive' views of sexuality and gender identity, while compelling speech along the lines of Bates's more traditional understanding," according to the opinion.

The duo said a "state's general conception of the child's best interest does not create a force field against the valid operation of other constitutional rights," such that it could deny adoption based on the "political view, race, or religious affiliations" of prospective parents.

This is unbelievable: Oregon will refuse you an adoption if you won't take your children to "pride" sexual kink events and fetish parades.

Oregon deems as unfit prospective parents who won't take young children "to events like pride parades," as ODHS explicitly demanded of Bates, which is "false and incredibly dangerous," Bates's lawyer Jonathan Scruggs of the Alliance Defending Freedom said in celebrating the ruling.

"The 9th Circuit was right to remind Oregon that the foster and adoption system is supposed to serve the best interests of children, not the state's ideological crusade," he said.

...

Oregon's RAFT training is far-reaching even by the standards of gender affirmation, resembling a Canadian gender studies course more than American adoption requirements.

The Bress opinion recounts its distinctives, referring to children by the LGBTQ variant "LGBTQI2-S," which is common in Canada and whose last abbreviation means "two-spirit," a modern indigenous term of disputed authenticity.

RAFT claims "an infinite number of pronouns" exist and that prospective parents must always ask for them first. Regardless of whether their children identify as LGBTQ, parents should display "symbols indicating an LGBTQ-affirming environment" and provide books and media that celebrate LGBTQ people such as "transgender women in history."

The materials take aim at religion, claiming "faith-based communities" can be sources of "prejudice and rejection" and instructing parents not to force youth to attend religious activities "openly hostile or unsupportive of people with diverse" sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

...

Adoptive parents must give children "the ability to discuss, provide, and obtain authorization for medically necessary, transition-related treatment, if desired," referring to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries to resemble the opposite sex that allegedly improve mental health and reduce suicides, a claim with little rigorous evidence.

...

The majority repeatedly cites RAFT examples as both strong suggestions and mandates, "broadly reflective of a particular viewpoint on sexual orientation and gender identity, which parents must actively promote under Oregon's policy."

The state's claim that it's regulating speech only "incidental to conduct" would have been "much stronger" if it "simply outlawed harassment or denigration of LGBTQ children --which Bates strongly avers she would not do," but its speech regulation "predominates," they said.

That's not the only big win this week.

Due to Trump's E.O. demanding that women's sports be reserved for -- now here's a twist -- women, the Olympic and Paralympic Committees have banned men from participating in women's sports.

Trump is rolling back Woke like Reagan rolled back the Soviet Union.

From the NYT:

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee quietly changed its eligibility rules on Monday to bar transgender women from competing in Olympic women's sports, and now will comply with President Trump's executive order on the issue, according to a post on the organization's website.

The new policy, expressed in a short, vaguely worded paragraph, is tucked under the category of "USOPC Athlete Safety Policy" on the site, and does not include details of how the ban will work. Nor does the new policy include the word "transgender" or the title of Mr. Trump's executive order, "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports," referring to it instead as "Executive Order 14201." ...

The committee's new policy means that the national governing bodies of sports federations in the United States -- which oversee sporting events for all ages, from youth to masters' competitions -- now must follow the U.S.O.P.C.'s lead, according to several chief executives of sports within the Olympic movement.

The Olympic Committee is so afraid to make this change that they basically hid it and refuse to comment further on it. But apparently their hand was forced by Trump's E.O.

NPR's Top Editor Resigns After Propaganda Network Loses $500 Million in Federal Funding, Claims Her Resignation Has Nothing to Do With the Cuts

—Ace

"Hello," they lied.

NPR's top editor has tendered her resignation days after the radio station lost $500million in federal funding for an alleged bias against conservatives.

Edith Chapin, who serves as editor-in-chief and acting chief content officer at National Public Radio, announced her departure on Tuesday.

Chapin told an NPR reporter she quit rather than being fired and that she was not leaving due to the funding cuts.

I mean...

She also said she handed in her notice two weeks ago ahead of the cuts, which Trump repeatedly promised on the campaign trail.

...

Supporters of the cuts to federal funding - which also affected PBS - said it was unfair to expect all Americans to subsidize a network with such an isolated worldview.

...

'I have had two big executive jobs for two years and I want to take a break. I want to make sure my performance is always top-notch for the company,' she said, after joining NPR from CNN in 2012 as chief international editor.

'It's not a good time to do it, but it's never a good time.'

'I needed to pick a date and share my decision.'

'The best thing we can do is do the best work possible every day,' she said as debate continues over whether the company really engaged in systemic bias as the administration claims.

'We need to hear from all kinds of people - and that is our job.

'And we need to be as clear and transparent as we possibly can, and our audiences can decide how useful we are for them.'

'One of the things that was attractive when I came here was this philosophy of all things considered,' she continued.

...

Maher also addressed statistics that showed the broadcaster having 87 registered Democrats on-staff this time last year and not a single Republican.


The disparity, Maher conceded, was 'concerning - if true.' She insisted NPR does not track such affiliations.

Apparently this editor was hired to review stories for "fairness and balance."

Crackerjack job.

I don't know what's going on here, but here's my speculation: This woman was hired as a fig-leaf concession. NPR had been exposed as hopelessly leftwing by Uri Berliner, who they then suspended and forced out, and they needed to placate Congress by pretending they cared about balance.

But the moment Congress cancelled their funding, they decided they were all done with this very weak effort at pretending, so they had no further use of their "fairness and balance" fig-leaf editor.

NPR's batty wine-aunt CEO says that Republicans cancelled funding for her perverse propaganda network just because they don't want people of marginalized communities to have voices.

"This argument about public media being 'biased' is a stalking horse. We report on soybean farmers and LGBTQ activism. We report on coal miners and eco-warriors," she continued. "Having non-White voices and perspectives on air does not make us woke. Covering the existence of disagreement and difference in our country does not make us biased. It makes us reflective of the complex, diverse nation we serve."

Maher said NPR would "take a moment to mourn" and ultimately move forward.

Ex-NPR editor Uri Berliner roasted the outlet last year over its biased coverage on such issues as COVID-19, Hunter Biden's laptop and the Russiagate saga. He soon after resigned and joined The Free Press.

Woke white CEOs are very eager to deny job opportunities to white men to give the jobs to "diverse, marginalized people." Strangely, they never give up their own jobs, despite being whiter than Bjork's thighs in winter.

And now: a former NPR CEO says that maybe we don't need state media at all.

What a concept!

Alligator Alcatraz Airlines Begins Sending Illegals Back Home; Vance Predicts We May See Net Negative Immigration In the Next Year

—Ace

DeSantis is flying the illegals out.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Friday that the Department of Homeland Security has started flying illegal immigrants out of his state's "Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility.

"I'm pleased to report that those flights out of Alligator Alcatraz by DHS have begun," DeSantis said, Fox News reported. "The cadence is increasing. We've already had a number of flights, in the last few days, we've had hundreds of illegals [that] have been removed from here."

...

"The whole purpose is to make this be a place that can facilitate increased frequency and numbers of deportations of illegal aliens, and that is the goal. And one of the reasons why this was a sensible spot is because you have this runway that's right here. You don't have to drive them an hour to an airport. You go a couple thousand feet and they can be on a plane and out of here," DeSantis also said.

Vice President Vance thinks that we may see net negative migration -- outward migration -- this year.

Vice President JD Vance defended the Trump administration's immigration policies in a speech Wednesday, predicting that the United States was on the cusp of "net negative immigration."

Speaking at an artificial intelligence summit hosted by the All In Podcast and the Hill and Valley Forum in Washington, the vice president addressed conservative critics who claim the White House is not doing enough to fight illegal immigration.

Noting that the Trump administration has faced legal and practical struggles while pursuing its goal of 1 million deportations this year, Vance nevertheless said that if you consider the "net number" of deportations, the Trump administration has been "wildly successful."

"In 2025 we will have the first net negative immigration number in about 50 or 60 years in the United States," Vance said.

He also responded to a claim that Biden, get this, deported more illegals than Trump. He called that a "totally fake statistic," noting that Biden counted simple turn-arounds at the border as "deportations." That is, if you're turned away at the border, you're "deported."

We have never before counted simple turn-aways as "deportations."

This is the same fakery Obama perpetuated, in order to laughingly call himself "the Deporter In Chief" while flooding the country with illegals.

The left continues agitating for its antifa street militias to kill ICE by pushing hoaxes about people being "disappeared" by ICE.

That article recounts the Guatamalan liar who claimed her grandfather -- who had died peacefully of natural causes in 2019 -- had been "disappeared" by ICE two weeks ago.

It then cites a couple of other recent "disappearing" hoaxes:



In another hoax, Yuriana Julia "Juli" Pelaez Calderon, a 41-year-old illegal immigrant, was charged with conspiracy and making false statements for orchestrating a fake kidnapping by supposed ICE agents to scam donations and discredit federal law enforcement.

On June 30, her family and attorneys claimed she was ambushed at a Los Angeles Jack in the Box, taken to San Ysidro, and pressured to self-deport, sparking a GoFundMe campaign that raised $80 before being shut down. The family and their attorneys held press conferences, where their claims were eagerly repeated by local media.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) denied the kidnapping claims, and surveillance footage and phone records confirmed the story was a hoax, showing Calderon freely leaving the restaurant.

...

In another disturbing incident of disinformation, in a TikTok post with over 800,000 views, a woman says, "They're throwing the deportees out of the planes and into the ocean. [...] they're shackling people, flying out into open ocean and throwing them out. The flight patterns, there is people tracking them on this app, the flights going out with the deportees. Watching them go out to the open ocean and circle back. A family in Italy saw five shackled bodies wash up on the shore."

These claims have surged on social media since the original posting, and got millions of views before others posted comments noting that the claims were wholly unsubstantiated.

These hoaxes are spread to drive up leftwing enthusiasm and also to encourage the left's street assassins to start killing people. They intend to use hoaxes to win either by the ballot or the bullet.


Note that the leftwing media is not pushing back against this dangerous misinformation, offered WITHOUT EVIDENCE, at all, just like they never push back on any of the left's misinformation.

And speaking of the left encouraging its various foreign assassins and domestic terrorists to kill American police: One of the thugs who shot the off-duty CPB officer was cleared for entry into the country via a Zoom call.

AThe illegal immigrant accused of shooting an off-duty border officer in a Manhattan park was only vetted using Zoom before being released into the US under the Biden administration, The Post has learned.

Dominican Republic national Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, 21, waltzed across the US-Mexico border into Arizona in April 2023 -- during the raging migrant crisis that saw federal agents take drastic measures in an attempt to free up resources.

That month alone, the US saw a wave of more than 183,000 migrants come across the southern border.

"The whole system was overwhelmed by what the Biden administration was allowing," Charles Marino, former senior law enforcement adviser to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, told The Post.

"The endgame was to facilitate the processing of as many illegals into the country as possible," Marino said.

They've all been vetted, doncha know.

How Obama Took Hillary Clinton's Dirty OppoDump Cocaine and Cooked Off the Impurities to Turn It Into Clean, Healthy Psyops Crack

—Ace

The DOJ announced that it is forming a "strike force" to investigate and potentially prosecute Obama and his co-conspirators in the anti-Trump Putsch:

dojstrikeforce.jpg

GRAHAM, CORNYN CALL FOR SPECIAL PROSECUTOR: Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) are jointly calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a Special Prosecutor to assess evidence former President Barack Obama managed the Russia-gate effort to undermine Donald Trump during his first term in the Oval Office.

-- Mark Tapscott at Instapundit

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Special prosecutors don't seem that good at getting to the bottom of things.

Yeah, he's right, special prosecutors seem to mostly pursue political ends, and the end here is to bury the story, because it's too big. Once you give a matter to a special prosecutor, his office is a black box from which no information flows until, one day, many years from now, he emerges from his office to declare "No intent."

Paul Sperry reports on admitted cocaine-abuser Barack Obama's cooking of Hillary Clinton's RussiaGate coke into sweet, untainted government-investigated crack:

The Obama intelligence community's claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized dirty tricks to try and help Donald Trump win the 2016 election was based on "one scant, unclear and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard [intelligence] reports," according to a just-declassified report that had been locked away in a CIA vault.

Nevertheless, former CIA Director John Brennan ordered agency analysts to use the claim in the Intelligence Community Assessment issued during the Obama administration's final days -- even though the ICA itself noted that how the information on Putin's plans was obtained was "not explicitly clear."

A 46-page report by the House of Representatives released Wednesday found that the source of the claim about Putin -- reportedly a Russian defector living in Northern Virginia described as "anti-Trump" -- merely speculated to Brennan about something he had been told by somebody else: namely, that Putin was "counting on" Trump winning.

I thought this was Iggy Danchenko, the permanent floating employee of various Democrat grifter operations who wanted a position in the would-be Hillary Clinton administration. But Sperry thinks it's someone else.

ICA participants interpreted the informant's phrase "counting on" several different ways, the report said. Many NSA and CIA officials viewed "counting on" as meaning the same thing as "expected," which is much different than the language -- Putin "preferred" Trump -- Brennan's five handpicked drafters used in the ICA.

The congressional review determined that "the ICA did not cite any [classified] report where Putin directly indicated helping Trump win was the objective." (Emphasis added.)

No Corroborating Intelligence

The report then drops a bombshell: "The ICA judgment on Putin's thoughts about helping candidate Trump does not stand if [Brennan's] single interpretation of the fragment [from the tip that Putin was 'counting on' Trump winning] is wrong, because there is no other intelligence corroborating it."

The 2019 report, which investigated the spycraft that went into the highly classified and restricted version of the ICA, found that the Obama intelligence community's assessment of Russia's intentions changed sharply after Trump's surprising victory.

On the eve of the 2016 election, Brennan sent a "Fusion Cell" memo to Obama summarizing all the most secret, compartmented intel gathered on Trump and Russia. According to the House report declassified and released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday, that memo " made no mention of Putin 'aspiring' for a Trump victory." Although the Russian defector had shared his thoughts about Putin with Brennan in July, the CIA director's Nov. 6 memo concluded, "Putin expected [Clinton] to win."

But then in early December, after Obama ordered a new assessment, Brennan dusted off the informant's second-hand hearsay, which had been shelved as unreliable. The CIA director, who had previously worked for Obama in the White House, suddenly insisted it underpin the new conclusion about Putin's motives.

"The major 'high confidence' judgment of the ICA rests on one opinion about a text fragment with uncertain meaning," the House report found. "This text -- which would not have been published without [Brennan's] orders to do so -- is cited using only one interpretation of its meaning and without considering alternative interpretations," in violation of Intelligence Community Directive 203. One alternative was that Putin was "counting on" Trump winning the primary and nomination at the GOP Convention that July, just two weeks after the informant provided the tip, not the general election in November 2106.

...

Brennan, who could not be reached for comment, has strongly defended his work. Requests for comment from Comey and his attorney went unanswered.

Harvey and other investigators spent hundreds of hours inside a highly secure room called a SCIF at CIA headquarters poring over the raw intelligence materials that supposedly backstopped the ICA's conclusions. In an exclusive interview with RealClearInvestigations, he said it became clear, after closer inspection, that the raw information the informant provided lacked credibility. "There really was no evidence that Putin supported Trump," Harvey said.

Even so, Brennan as well as Comey, who also handled the informant, pushed to include his tip in the ICA to back the judgment Putin worked to help Trump win the election, all the while concealing their star source's identity, background and reliability from most of the participants involved in the crafting of the ICA.

"They knew he was not reliable and they tried to hide access to him," Harvey said. "They knew he had bad sources. This stuff was weak."

...

Brennan's informant is believed to be Oleg Smolenkov, who previously worked in the Russian Embassy in Washington and later as a government foreign policy adviser in Moscow, before moving back to the D.C. area in early 2017.

Brennan said his source could not be revealed because Putin might have him executed. However, reporters easily found Smolenkov living in a six-bedroom home in Stafford, Va., listed in his and his wife's real names.

It's not known if Smolenkov was paid for his information. The CIA and FBI declined to comment.

...

Explaining why NSA dissented from the key Putin conclusion, former NSA Director Adm. Mike Rogers argued the human source it was based on "did not have direct access" to insider information about Putin. Also, he added, "I didn't see multiple sources."

Foreign press outlets have noted that Smolenkov "would not have direct access to secret information at either the Russian Embassy in the U.S. or while working for the presidential administration in Moscow."

Mollie Hemingway has a fresh report about all of the professional, career intelligence analysts -- the ones we're supposed to always trust above political appointees like John Brennan -- who objected to Brennan's dirty oppo file cocaine and did not believe it could be cooked into pure, healthy Organic Crack with probiotis and anti-inflammatory riboflavin.

Senior intelligence officials strenuously fought the demands of former FBI Director James Comey and other Obama intelligence chiefs to include the false and unverified Steele dossier in an official assessment of Russian activities ordered by President Barack Obama in the closing weeks of his presidency, records reviewed exclusively by The Federalist show. The records, which are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Comey and other top intelligence officials for their roles in launching the Russia collusion hoax, provide damning evidence of Obama intelligence chiefs' malfeasance beyond the explosive information released Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Previous government investigations into the Russia collusion hoax dryly described the opposition merely as officials having "expressed concern" about using the infamous Steele dossier because it was "not completely vetted." But records reviewed by The Federalist reveal career intelligence officials expressed outright shock at the poor quality of the reporting that the FBI repeatedly insisted be included in the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) -- and objected to any reference to the dodgy dossier.

"Based solely on what we DO know now, my bottom line is this -- unless FBI is prepared to provide much better sourcing -- I believe this should NOT be included in the paper," one official wrote, caps and all. Noting that the document had not been formally issued as an FBI product, the official stressed it suffered from "POOR SOURCE TRADECRAFT," had "extremely sketchy" sourcing, and "simply does not meet normal [intelligence community] standards."

The Steele dossier, a product of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, was a collection of salacious and unverified stories about rival presidential candidate Donald Trump supposedly colluding with Russia. Clinton secretly funded the information operation and the group she hired to create the dossier spread the false information it contained to reporters, politicians, and the FBI.

...

Former FBI Director James Comey's demand the ICA include the Steele dossier helped Brennan develop the false but explosive narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in order to help Trump. Intelligence officials immediately pushed back on including the dossier in the ICA, with one senior official recorded as saying, in materials reviewed exclusively by The Federalist, that the fact that the source was paid at first by an "anti-Trump Republican, and later a different Democrat client" meant the author knew what his clients wanted. He "clearly had a motive to pass along info, however poorly sourced, since it generated revenue," the official warned.

Intelligence officials also worried that Steele had relied on sub-sources whose identity and credibility were unknown to the FBI. The concern was validated in January 2017 when interviews with the primary subsource, Igor Danchenko, showed the document's scurrilous allegations lacked credibility. Rather than admit their error, FBI officials continued to defend their use of the dossier for years and hid Danchenko's identity from congressional scrutiny by hiring him as an informant.

FBI officials insisted to the officials working on the ICA that the information in the dossier was good. One intelligence official wondered why, if the information was as good as the FBI claimed, Democrats did not deploy it against Trump during the campaign, the records stated.

The FBI countered that Steele was a credible source whose reporting had, at least somewhat, been corroborated. The intelligence officials were skeptical.

"If, as we have been told, FBI has some corroborating material from an ongoing investigation, can that be used? I thought they never do that? If they feel this overrides the investigation, some of the corroborating reporting must be included in the paper. If not, I would argue for dropping the page," the official said, explaining in detail "Why we should oppose inclusion of the FBI material."

The previously unreported records reviewed by The Federalist also showed the FBI stressing that since the Steele dossier was already "out there," it should be included in the body of the ICA.

A senior intelligence official eviscerated the argument, responding: "Just how 'out there' is it? All we know for sure is that much of the content of the document appeared in [Mother Jones] in October and a copy of something is in Sen. McCain's hands." The senior official added that including the dossier in the ICA would essentially confirm the salacious reporting, punctuating his point by comparing the Steele reporting to a December 12, 2016 National Enquirer story headlined, "MUSLIM SPIES IN OBAMA'S CIA!" That article included quotes from sources alleging that the agency had 55 double agents, so the analyst asked rhetorically if that detail should be included in an intelligence assessment as well.

Biden's Former Top Aide Ron Klain Testifies, Sticking to the Party Line That Biden Was Not "Politically Viable" But Still Was Totally Competent to Remain President
Hunter Biden: Hot Damn, Crack Is My Jam!!!

—Ace

This is the line Nancy Pelosi created to push Biden out of the race while keeping him in office. (Because Biden never, ever would have agreed to step down as president.)

The Democrats kept insisting that he wasn't "viable" as a candidate, while denying he was incapacitated to serve as president.

But why was he not "viable"? Because, of course, the country had seen that he was not mentally fit to continue on as president.

But they don't concede that part. They just say "The polls showed him losing, despite being the most successful president of the modern era."

Well if he's the most successful president of the modern era -- spoiler, he was not -- then why are the polls showing he can't win?

Because, of course, the country had seen that he was not mentally fit to continue on as president.

But they keep pretending these two questions -- about his political viability and about his mental fitness -- are entirely unrelated.

Because only by separating the two questions could they get the stubborn senile Biden to back out of the race.

This is the blatant lie that Ron Klain stuck to.

Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain revealed Thursday that former President Joe Biden wasn't seen as "politically viable" by either his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, or by ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during his final year in office, a source told The Post.

Klain -- a member of a purported "Politburo" that made high-level decisions as Biden grew less clear-headed during his term -- made the stunning claims to the House Oversight Committee in response to accusations that senior aides shielded the 46th president's physical and mental infirmity.

In the sitdown, Klain denied that Biden, now 82, lacked the cognitive acuity to govern or that he was too old to run for re-election in 2024, according to a source familiar with his remarks.

But the longtime adviser admitted his boss was "less energetic," had a poorer memory and frequently mixed up names -- a problem that worsened with time, the source added.

Sullivan confided to Klain that Biden was also "less effective" in 2024 than in 2022, the source said.

Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for Sullivan, told The Post Thursday night that "Jake did not have a conversation with Ron about Joe Biden running for president before the [June 27] debate."

Elsewhere in his interview, Klain divulged that he'd donated $5,000 for then-first son Hunter Biden's legal defense fund at the behest of attorney Abbe Lowell, who repped the younger Biden.

"Evidence emerges on a daily basis that would suggest Joe Biden wasn't mentally fit to be president," Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters, citing claims that the former chief executive was put on "mind-altering" sleeping pills before his debate flop against former President Donald Trump.

Klain told the Oversight panel he was not aware Biden was taking Ambien ahead of the performance, a claim Hunter Biden made in a Monday interview with YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan.

...

Former Biden White House aides weren't surprised that Klain would be answering questions -- noting that he's had a rocky relationship with his former boss over his willingness to be quoted in tell-all books like Chris Whipple's tome "Uncharted."


"Ron Klain taking the opportunity to speak is so classic -- always yapping," said one former official.

Ed Morrissey quotes passages from Uncharted which certainly suggest that Biden was mentally unfit (which then made him "politically unviable.")

And those passages are based on Klain's admissions.

From the Free Beacon:

Klain, the White House chief of staff from 2021 to 2023, was "startled" by Biden's declining mental and physical state when he went back to work for the octogenarian president in June 2024, according to excerpts from Chris Whipple's upcoming book Uncharted published in the Guardian.

Klain had "never seen [Biden] so exhausted and out of it," Whipple writes. "Biden was unaware of what was happening in his own campaign. Halfway through the session, the president excused himself and went off to sit by the pool." ...

Klain had to cut short the two mock debates he had organized for Biden.

"The first was scheduled to last 90 minutes but Klain called it off after 45. The president's voice was shot and so was his grasp of the subject," Whipple writes. Less than 30 minutes into the second mock debate, Biden went off to bed, saying he was "just too tired to continue," according to Whipple.

Morrissey points out that Hunter Biden's new "Ambien Defense" -- of course the drug addict fabricates a drug-related defense -- makes no sense. Taking an Ambien the night before would not continue affecting Biden at 9pm the following night. And besides, Biden was also flailing, failing, and floundering in his debate prep.

This was not a one-night thing.

Speaking of Hunter Biden -- I said he was running for office, but I thought he'd be running for a House seat.

David Strom may be trolling me but he figures that Biden, Inc. is going to need a bigger office to continue grifting from. You can't support a big Crime Family on the minor ducats you can collect as a congresscrackhead.

Strom says Hunter's taking over Beau's mission -- running for president.

Again, boy, I sure hope he's trolling.

Or do I?

Hunter for President. He's done it once; he can do it again. If you liked Joe Biden's presidency, elect the man who helped run the autopen.

I am only half joking, folks. Hunter Biden might be running for President of the United States. He's already mused about what he would do as president, and he is on a tour of the podcasts to defend the Joe Biden administration.


He could be running for president.

Democrats Post Graph To Show Prices Are At the Highest Ever, But There's a Problem
Update: The US Loses $200 Billion Per Year in Foreign Remittances

—Ace

The graph showed that the monster inflation occurred solely under Biden. Yes, prices continue to be high -- we never actually deflate prices, the best we do is not inflate them further -- but the graph plainly showed that Biden, not Trump, was responsible for all of the inflation.

And the Democrats, who are super-smart you guys, thought this chart was an Own.

After it was pointed out that the chart was an Own but a Self-Own, they deleted it.

JustTheNews:

The Democratic Party on Thursday deleted a questionable social media post that appeared to try to blame President Donald Trump for "record high" grocery prices.

The post on X shared a graph that showed grocery prices in all major food categories going up over the past four years due to inflation, but did not include a spot for 2025. However, a caption on the graph claimed the prices were higher now than in July of 2024.

The original post included the caption "Trump's America." Just The News has verified that the post existed and has since been deleted. The Trump administration has also shared the post.

The party has not commented on why the post was removed, but the post was ratio'd with 9,500 comments, compared to 6,200 likes and 4,700 reposts.

Trump's Rapid Response account reposted the chart, this time showing Biden's term in comparison with the price hikes.

THE MORNING RANT: The EV De-Transition Is Accelerating– 7/25/2025

—Buck Throckmorton

EV Fire - Mercedes - Malaysia - 2.png

The electric vehicle era has brought forth a terrifying new hazard on the open seas – unextinguishable fires on automobile transport ships as the EVs on board produce a cascade of runaway thermal lithium fires. Several ships have been lost in recent years, most recently the Morning Midas, which ultimately sank. As I documented a couple weeks ago, ”The next big conversation needs to be on where these explosive ordnance vehicles are allowed and not allowed. Following the Morning Midas’ sinking, it may become tougher for cargo lines to obtain insurance for ships carrying EVs. Insurers would also be well within their rights to deny coverage to buildings with parking garages put at structural risk by EV fires.

Pacific Ocean carrier Matson has come up with a real simple solution. It just announced that it is not going to transport EVs any longer. This prohibition also applies to plug-in hybrid vehicles and stand-alone lithium-ion phosphate batteries.

“Pacific shipper Matson halts transport of EVs over fire safety concerns” [Automotive Logistics – 7/22/2025]

Transportation services company Matson has suspended shipments of electric vehicles (EVs) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries – a subtype of lithium-ion battery chemistry commonly used in EVs – over concerns related to fire risks during transit.

More carriers will likely follow, especially when insurance becomes too expensive, or completely unattainable.

[h/t to Scampydog for sending me this story.]

*****

Team EV tried to use the power of government to deny me the right to buy an internal combustion (“ICE” ) vehicle, making EVs my only legal option. Thanks to Donald Trump, Lee Zeldin, and the Republican Congress, EV mandates are being rolled back and the $7,500 federal incentive for EV purchases goes away in a few weeks. But the EV bros and their eco-communist allies will never give up on trying to force you and me into their lithium-laden external combustion vehicles. Team EV will just sit tight until the next Democrat is elected President, and then try to once again outlaw ICE vehicles

At this point, I am receptive to an “ICE mandate” in retaliation for the EV mandate they tried to impose on me. Team EV needs to suffer a total defeat in the EV battles, not just a setback. As I wrote at The Pipeline a year ago,”They came after us and we repelled their first assault, but simply repelling an adversary’s attack only sets the stage for their next assault. They must suffer a loss, and they must put all their energy into not suffering any more losses, to ensure that they don’t get the opportunity to come after our gasoline-powered cars again.”

Which brings me to this big, beautiful, tariff-related attack on the EV market:

“U.S. Set to Impose 93.5% Tariff on Graphite from China” [Bloomberg – 7/17/2025]

It is not possible to manufacture EV batteries without graphite, which is almost exclusively sourced from China. EV fanboys are panicking, because this will make EVs much more expensive, further killing off what little demand actually exists without federal subsidies. Spencer Hakimian lamented on Twitter, ”How are we supposed to build electric cars then?” To which our own Comrade Arthur replied, ”That’s the neat thing. You don’t.”

This is effectively an ICE vehicle mandate! When Joe Biden’s EPA mandated unachievable emissions results from automakers, it may not have been labeled an “EV mandate,” but it served that purpose. This is much the same. There will be nothing stopping manufacturers from building and selling all the EVs they want, they just need battery suppliers to mine the graphite domestically or pay the 93% tariff.

The Morning Report — 7/25/25

—J.J. Sefton

DogEatDog.jpg

Good morning kids, as I have written about, or at the least have attempted to write about in my tenure as your personal envoy/sherpa of the news, the differentiation and identification of the disease from merely the symptoms of societal rot and dissolution.

A or at least the shining example that is coming to the fore, despite the media's shameless and desperate attempts to obfuscate and distort if not completely bury it is Obamagate, which Tulsi Gabbard to her credit has revealed what we all knew or at the barest of minimums suspected, was that Barack Obama either orchestrated or at the very least knew about and/or approved ofthe Intel community's combined operation with Hillary Clinton to manufacture a case that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to somehow sabotage the 2016 election. And then afterward, use this manufactured case of treason to destroy his presidency if not him personally by tarring and feathering him as a traitor. Dear Lord, you talk about projection, especially given the background of Obama himself.

But as I stated how is it that institutions that are in place which are intended to safeguard our freedoms and society at large turn out to be the greatest threat to both of those things? Where is the failing? Well, as Shakespeare wrote "The fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves."

As President Trump though so accurately observed, they're not out to get me, they're out to get you! I'm just standing in the way. So terribly true as we have learned and seen with our own eyes despite the attempts by the Propagandists to convince us otherwise. As horrendous a crime as this was, and remains a stain on our society, so long as the perpetrators are left unpunished which the corruption being as dark and deep as it is I sadly have to assume will forever be the case. Regardless of the culpability of the perpetrators, the lack of resolve (so far Gabbard notwithstanding) of those to attempt to right his most horrendous of wrongs is just as bad. Yes, fear of both political and personal retribution if not the justified fear for personal safety of oneself and one's families surely are factors. But that said, if you cannot take the heat, then get out of the kitchen. The crime is bad enough, lack of resolve to preserve, protect and defend the Republic has just as deleterious consequences going forward.

Psaki-Psircling back to Trump's observations about who the criminals are after, we have this:

The House Judiciary Committee has released an interim staff report showing that the Biden administration and the FBI manufactured a false narrative of Catholic Americans as violent extremists.

New documents obtained by the Committee show that the 2023 Richmond memorandum from former FBI Director Christopher Wray that described traditional Catholics as “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists,” wasn’t an isolated incident.

Commenting on Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists,” Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said, “we now know that the Biden Admin’s targeting of Catholics was worse than we thought.”

Yes indeed, they're after us and they always will be. And as I noted yesterday and in days past, it begins and ends in the schools where future generations of our tormenters are "groomed" so to speak as our supposed elites/superiors and the rest are conitioned to believe that monstrous fiction and that we must believe and obey them for our own betterment.


Some continuing good news on the economic front, with unfortunately the continuing corruption of hack-in-black judges on the immigration front. Oh well. . .

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great weekend!
