Shooter Claimed by the Media to be the Harbinger of "Islamphobia" They're Always Shrieking About Turns Out to be a Muslim Named... "Mohammad Rage"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

There was a shooting outside a Muslim event during "Eid," whatever that is.

Did you hear about it? If you consume any leftwing propaganda "news" at all, you sure did. It was the worst hate crime since the last worst hate crime.

But they're not talking about it any longer.

A Muslim was murdered outside an Eid service in Minneapolis last week, and initially, it was a story made to order for the left's victimhood industry. It even seemed to be a genuine example of "Islamophobia," which is as rare in real life as Nancy Pelosi stock losses. The far left's propaganda arm, also known as the mainstream media, swung into action, and leftist politicians chimed in with the requisite displays of outrage and sorrow.

There was just one catch: when all the details came to light, the media narrative came crashing to the ground....

Even though nothing had yet been revealed about the shooter, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Planned Parenthood), who is running for governor of Minnesota, hurried that evening to imply that the shooting was an instance of "Islamophobia": "On this Eid al-Adha, I'm thinking of Minnesota's Muslim community and all those gathered in prayer today, especially following today's tragic shooting at an Eid prayer service at Canterbury Park. My thoughts are with the victim's family and the entire community."

See Steven Greene's report for the "Islamophobia!!!" panic spread by the communist-jihadist media and Muslim organizations.

And then the whole house of cards came crashing down. On Monday, CBS had to report the truth: "A Shakopee, Minnesota, man is accused of shooting and killing 26-year-old Khalid Ibrahim Abdi outside of a Twin Cities Eid al-Adha prayer service on Wednesday. Mohamed Rage, 28, is facing one count of second-degree murder as well as an illegal weapons charge, according to the criminal complaint filed in Scott County on Monday."

Our institutions are very insistent about who their enemies are and who shall rule and who shall die.

The Daily Mail has now published details from sentencing that almost no one has reported.

As Henry Nowak -- bleeding from five stab wounds -- tried to climb a commercial rubbish bin and over a fence to escape, Vickrum Digwa filmed him.

And taunted him.

"You're not going to get away with this big man."

Henry landed on top of a parked car on the other side of the fence. Digwa walked round and took close-up photos of him lying on the ground.

A home security camera then captured what may be the most chilling exchange in this entire case.

Henry: "I am dying."

Digwa: "You're not dying bro."

Ten minutes later, Henry said: "You stabbed me."

Digwa replied: "No, I didn't."

In the ten minutes that followed the stabbing, Vickrum Digwa did not call an ambulance. He filmed Henry for a full five minutes instead.

That clip was deemed too disturbing to be played in court.

Stop and process what that means. A judge and a jury sat through video of Digwa describing his blade in "loving terms," through bodycam of Henry being handcuffed as he died, through pathologist evidence of the eight-centimetre chest wound -- and the only piece of footage the court ruled too disturbing to show was the five minutes Vickrum Digwa spent filming an 18-year-old as he bled to death on a Southampton pavement.

The judge said it in sentencing: "You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby."

The lie Digwa told the police did not begin when officers arrived. It began ten minutes earlier, in Henry's face, as Henry told him he was dying.

This is what Hampshire Police walked into. This is the man they believed when they got there. This is what the court has now formally established took place between the stabbing and Henry's death.

The five-minute video exists. Henry's family knows what is on it. The court knows what is on it. The public does not.

It is too disturbing to be shown.

But not too disturbing to have been done to him.

The claims that Henry Nowak was a lost cause and the police forcing him into a posture which caused him to drown in his own blood had no effect on his fate? It's a lie, of course, cooked up by a corrupt institution spamming out defenses to keep the hangman away.

Dr. Calum Miller @DrCalumMiller

I am a medical doctor and I can say clearly: this is not good enough.

Henry Nowak was murdered and the police let him die.

When someone tells you they've been stabbed and are struggling to breathe, unless they pose an obvious risk to your own life, you make sure they are OK before you do anything else.

You don't pause to think about whether they might be racist, or whether they could be making it up.

There must be justice for Henry.

People point out there was a trauma center five minutes away -- but they allowed the "racist" to bleed out on the ground for an hour while chatting with the racist foreign family of killers.

NYT: Ex GF of Platner Says He Knew All About "My Totenkopf," Used Physical Force Against Her, Bragged That He Would Rape His Male Enemies, "Not in a Gay Way," But to Show "I'm Dominant"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Coming soon: Claire McCaskill demsplains that fantasizing about homosexual rape of your enemies to prove your dominance is not psychopathic, but rather "authentic" and "blue collar."

Well this is definitely not the sexual assault exposé I was expecting, or that I got you amped for, but... eh, maybe for now, it's enough.

I don't want the SA stuff coming out yet (if it exists) anyway.

This feels like the NYT is warning Maine Kampf to withdraw before the next round of disclosures.

On Tuesday evening, after a whirlwind day in Washington, Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, rushed home.

Rumors were spreading from Portland to the Potomac about Mr. Platner's messy personal life, after news reports that he had sent sexual messages to women while married. Democratic senators were pressing him about whether more damaging revelations were coming. Journalists were swarming, staking out his hometown.

Amid the turmoil, Mr. Platner worked the phones, rolling through calls to ex-girlfriends who might publicly acknowledge that while he may have been a bad boyfriend, he was, in fact, a decent guy.

...

But in extensive conversations over the past two months, three other women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner offered a far more complicated assessment, describing volatile and "toxic" relationships that were unsettling and at times emotionally wrenching.

Mr. Platner could be charming and charismatic, they recalled in interviews, but also demeaning to women and, in at least one case, even physically threatening. He drank heavily and was regularly unfaithful.

He claims it's all due to PTSD which is playing the role of Biden's Childhood Stutter in this narrative. Anytime he's discovered to be lying or abusive, he says it's his childhood stutter brought on by PTSD, and you cannot question him about it, or else you Hate the Troops.

...


Lyndsey Fifield, 40, a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns, recalled him as "cavalierly contemptuous of women's emotions, of our 'weakness.'" Ms. Fifield, who dated Mr. Platner from roughly 2013 to 2015, said that his offensive online posts "reminded me of just how much he hated women."

Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. "When I saw the old comments that he made online," she said, "I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with."

Some of the women also raised questions about his trustworthiness. Mr. Platner's insistence that he did not know that his tattoo was a Nazi symbol until it became a campaign issue last fall was simply not true, Ms. Fifield sai. After all, she said, he had taught her the word for it years earlier, referring to it as "my Totenkopf."

His campaign strongly denied that he knew what the tattoo stood for. And in a statement to The Times, Mr. Platner said he had "too often self medicated with alcohol, and was a far from perfect boyfriend" during what he described as a "very dark period of my life."

...

This article is based on interviews with more than two dozen people, including six women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner.

...

Mr. Platner could be rough with her, Ms. Fifield said, particularly when they were drinking, leaving her shaken and sometimes afraid. In the interviews, Ms. Fifield grappled with how to process her experiences. She was quick to note that he "never hit me, he never punched me."


But she said he regularly grabbed her by the shoulders -- sometimes hard enough to leave marks -- and, on one occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car.

During one argument, she recalled, he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn't get out, telling her to remain there until she was "calm." Eventually, Ms. Fifield said, she fell asleep and left the next morning.

"It hurt," she said. But she added: "It didn't cause an injury, it didn't break my arm."

...

Ms. Fifield also recalled that Mr. Platner's displays of weaponry and discussions of violence sometimes left her uneasy.

...

He had what she described as a "warrior ethos" and would fantasize about killing people he deemed a threat, she said. She said he told her that rape was about power.

It was something that stuck with her through the years, Ms. Fifield said.

"He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them," she recalled, saying that he added that it would not be in "a sexual way, not in a gay way."

"He was like, I would rape them to show them that I'm dominant," she said.

Is he a former reader? Does he not know that the quote is "I would f*** him, not in a gay way, but like a Viking"?

...

Mr. Platner, who had overlapping relationships with other women while he and Ms. Fifield dated, also referred to women as "hatchet wounds," Ms. Fifield said, a crude term for female anatomy.

...

Ms. Fifield said she did not expect her friends to offer that corroboration because she did not tell anyone at the time, saying she had been embarrassed.

...

Caroline Lemp, who dated Mr. Platner for several months in 2013, described him as a "gentle giant." She said he never made her feel unsafe or showed any signs that he was struggling with the physical or mental effects of his military service.

Does that mean his PTSD excuse is a lie?

...

Last fall, a few months after announcing his campaign for Senate, Mr. Platner said that he had learned from news media inquiries that the tattoo on his chest was widely recognized as a Nazi symbol, and he moved to cover it.


...

"It was not until I started hearing from reporters and D.C. insiders that I realized this tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol," Mr. Platner told Politico in a statement in October. "I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that -- and to insinuate that I did is disgusting."

Ms. Fifield called that a lie.

Mr. Platner, she said, knew when they were dating years ago that the tattoo was a Nazi symbol, and that he called it "my Totenkopf."

"I would never have known what that was," she said. "He would joke about it being a Nazi tattoo."

Ms. Fifield said he told her that he and other members of his unit selected the tattoo because "they were like a death unit, they were killers," and saw a parallel between their unit and the Nazi Schutzstaffel, or S.S., unit, that used the skull-and-crossbones image.

"They literally, deliberately, selected it because it was relevant to their military unit," she said.

...


Throughout his campaign, Mr. Platner has presented his life as a story of recovery and personal growth.

He has described himself as "self-medicating and drinking heavily" and "becoming very emotionally distant" during his time in the military, which ended in 2012, he says, and the years immediately afterward. A relationship with a girlfriend while he was serving in the Marines "totally fell apart because I was just a wreck of a human being," he said in an interview with The Times last month.

Then, in 2016, he returned to his small hometown, Sullivan, Maine. With therapy from the Department of Veterans Affairs, he got treatment for PTSD, anxiety and depression and began to build a new life. In 2018, he took over an oyster farm from a family friend.

"Took over" sounds a lot like "was given as an act of charity towards a drug-addicted layabout bum."

Still, he stayed active on Reddit, offering a glimpse into his unvarnished thinking in more than 1,400 messages between 2016 and 2021, when he says he stopped posting.


...

"I'm a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days," he wrote. "Still got the guns though, I don't trust the fascists to act politely." He has since said he abhors political violence.

But his relationships with women have remained complicated.

...


Asked about the post in a follow-up interview this spring, Ms. Racicot, who said she agreed with many of Mr. Platner's policies, said she had an off-and-on relationship with Mr. Platner and had positive memories.

But she was not shocked, she said, when she saw the incendiary comments he had made about women that have surfaced during the campaign. "I was like, that makes sense," she said. "This person does not respect women."

Ms. Racicot also said that in 2021 he arrived at her house drunk, after she had asked him not to come over. She declined to elaborate, but said she cut off contact soon after that episode and found his behavior "reckless" and "unsettling."

...

On the campaign trail, Mr. Platner has consistently worked to reassure voters who have been rattled by what they have read about his messy personal history. He has said that he had not lived a "very complicated" life.

Needless to say, Maine Kampf denies just about everything negative the women say about him.

Not really terribly damaging. Most stuff will be dismissed because it's from a "right wing" Republican, who apparently isn't all that right wing because she dates communists.

She confirms that he's lying about not knowing it's a Totenkopf tattoo, but Democrats don't really believe him about that, anyway. They know they're backing a Nazi. They are pro-Nazi, because they are antisemites and increasingly part of the Islamic jihad.

Is this all the New York Times has, or is this the first volley?

I don't know. I'd say it's the first volley, but this article doesn't seem to allow for the possibility that they spoke to other women who alleged sexual assault.

But then, that stuff seems to be about his "conquests" as a young nepo baby at Hotchkiss. None of the girls that would tell those tales would be categorized as women who dated him as an adult.

I guess we'll see.

It just might be that the former communications director for the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association got it wrong, if you can believe that. (Or did he hype it in order to make the story feel like a let down? Like false claims that Clinton got red faced and enraged during his deposition?)

Or, it could be that the NYT shied away from reporting the really toxic stuff they'd found.

Claim: The Man Stealing the California Mayoral Election Previously Stole the 2004 Washington Gubernatorial Election

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The fear is that this guy is either going to "discover" votes that put Basura over 50%, or "discover" votes to put Nithya Raman ahead of Spencer Pratt.

This article says he's done it before.

He's very, very good at "discovering" votes in the 5th Quarter of an election, where Democrats really shine.

The man who stole the governor's election in Washington state is now doing the same thing in Los Angeles. We had absolute criminals in charge of the Democratic Party in Washington in 2004.

Ron Simms, as we all know, lied to my listeners and me on the air when he was chair of Sound Transit Board of Directors. But Ron Simms was also actively involved in, what I am convinced, was the biggest Democratic Party conspiracy in Washington's history. When people ask me why I'm so cynical about local government, it was that gubernatorial election of 2004 that is at the top of my list. What I saw was a Democratic Party that was as corrupt as any political machine has ever been.

In case you need your memory refreshed, that was when Attorney General Christine Gregoire was running for governor against Republican candidate Dino Rossi. When they counted all the votes, Dino Rossi was the winner -- by 261 votes. Such a thin margin triggers an automatic recount. When they did the recount, they found some more Gregoire votes, but Rossi won again -- by 42 votes this time.

And that is when the Democratic machine of Ron Simms, Christine Gregoire, and the head of King County Elections at the time, a guy named Dean Logan, got involved. What was revealed in subsequent lawsuits was remarkable. On the third recount, they miraculously found a few hundred more votes for Gregoire to steal away the governor's race. Apparently, there were 300 illegal votes, 400 more where the voter could not be verified, 240 felons who voted illegally, 44 votes from dead people, and 10 people who voted twice. When all of those votes were counted, the third time around, all of a sudden Christine Gregoire was the governor.

Then and now, I think it was a Democratic Party criminal conspiracy. The guy spearheading this in King County was Dean Logan, who was finding uncounted ballots all over. He was absolutely amazing at finding Gregoire ballots in between counts.

But is there any reason to believe he's "discovering' Votes for Basura or the communist carpetbagger?

Well -- yes.

On election night, nobody was shocked that Pratt had closed the gap with Bass, just as nobody was surprised that Raman came in a distant third, as the polls suggested.

But California doesn't have election nights. They have counting weeks, where vote totals change as batches of votes trickle in, and those batches show an amazing pattern: there are almost no votes for Spencer Pratt, which is nearly impossible statistically.

Keith Edwards, a Democrat Podcaster and Political Strategist Who Got Advance Word of the Eric Swalwell Sexual Assault Accusations, Now Says the NYT and WaPo Are Racing to Report That Graham Platner Sexually Assaulted "Multiple" Women

—Disinformation Expert Ace

UPDATE! Graham Platner says there aren't any "credible" charges of sexual assault coming.

That's a very suspicious qualifier! Oh sure there may be some sexual assault charges coming, but trust me, no creeeeeeedible sexual assault charges!

platnernocrediblecharges.jpg

Update!

Politics & Poll Tracker @PollTracker2024

Senator Bernie Sanders was noncommittal when asked by a Washington Examiner reporter if there's a concern sexual assault allegations could come out against Graham Platner.

Bernie Sanders: "Why don't we examine income and wealth inequality?"

Another update: Democrats are complaining that Schumer is scheming to get Jared Golden, an independent, elected rather than Maine Kampf.

Another confirmation that something big is afoot at the Circle K.

Via the Patriarch Tree.

Keith Edwards also used to work for the North American Man-Boy Lincoln Project, in communications. So you know he's got a lot of experience with sexual scandals.

The primary is this coming Tuesday. Republicans want to delay the news until Maine Kampf is officially promoted to be the Democrat's top SS officer in the northeast. (Along with Tuq'r Qarlson.)

The Democrat partisan media wants the story to come out before then -- if it's going to come out at all.

They may have decided it can't be covered up. So they're going to pretend to be truth-tellers, when they're really still just Democrat political operatives.

Black Jurors Struck from Karmelo Anthony Murder Trial Because They Admit They Don't Want to Send a "Brother," Even a Murderer, to Jail

—Disinformation Expert Ace

So are we all just now interested in nothing more than advancing the interests of our particular race?

Are you sure you want to do that?

Because this current situation in which every race except whites gets to act ruthlessly and selfishly in its own tribal interests is unstable and will not last much longer.

Potential jurors in the Karmelo Anthony trial said they couldn't imagine giving him life in prison or "putting a brother in jail" -- despite the heinous murder he is charged with.

Prosecutors in Collin County, Texas, grilled candidates Monday on whether they would use Anthony's age, race, or likeness to their own children when deciding whether he killed fellow teen Austin Metcalf in cold blood.

Attorneys for the 18-year-old defendant will try to convince the jury he feared for his life when he pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalf in the heart at a track meet in April 2025.


"He looks like a child," several said in questioning relayed by WFAA, when asked if they could consider a life sentence for the teen, who has been charged with first-degree murder.

"I don't think I can make a decision about somebody so young. One mistake, one argument, one conflict, you can't say he's a bad person," one potential juror told Assistant District Attorney Dewey Mitchell.


Dewey had to remind panelists that nobody would get "in trouble" for revealing their feelings about the hot-button case, which the Anthony family, who are black, claimed is a product of "white supremacy."

Mitchell asked panelists how they feel about this statement: "I don't feel comfortable finding an African American male guilty of murder."

"I don't know if I feel right putting a brother in jail," one candidate stated, according to WFAA.

...

Meanwhile, a $600,000 grassroots fund for Anthony's legal fees continues to swell with new donations.

If a white kid goes into a black space where he's not supposed to be and the black kids tell him to leave - is allowed to kill the black kids, claiming "black supremacy" as a justification?

You'd better think about. This current system where you get the benefits of absolute tribalism and none of the drawbacks of it is only going to exist for another year.

Lefists are boohoo whinin' and cryin' that black jurors were struck from the jury after openly admitting that they will not listen to evidence and cannot judge the defendant without racial or ideological bias.

John Bolton Reaches Deal to Plead Guilty to Mishandling Classified Documents

—Disinformation Expert Ace

But wait I thought Trump was "weaponizing the DOJ to punish his enemies"?

No?

Or is it more like, as Bolton said many times, "No one is above the law"?

President Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton is expected to plead guilty over mishandling classified documents, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Thursday.

Bolton could not immediately be reached for comment. The Department of Justice is declining to comment.

Bolton is expected to plead guilty to one count of illegal retention of sensitive documents, sources familiar with the matter said. Sources told ABC News that Bolton has also agreed to pay a fine of more than $2 million.

There is a rearraignment scheduled for June 26, which indicates it's intended for Bolton to plead guilty.

The guilty plea would make Bolton thus far the only successful case that we've seen so far in Trump's campaign of retribution against those he perceives to be his political enemies.

This is the Disney Groomer Corporation's Fake News service, ABC, by the way.

The Morning Rant

The amazing success of free markets can be traced through history, and their record is unblemished. That is not to say that they are perfect for all, because as Adam Smith pointed out 250 years ago, it is the millions of individual decisions that drive beneficial outcomes, and not all of those decisions are the best decision.

And...the fluctuations in supply and demand caused by those decisions can cause dislocations across the entire economy, as we see today with the price of petroleum, which has a massive global market and is an excellent example of market pressures at work.

But market economies do not work as well when they are constrained by regulation. Not regulation that controls damage to the public sphere, but regulation that impedes the natural growth of the economy. When businesses must navigate a labyrinth of sometimes competing regulations that do nothing but increase the cost of the project and increase the gap between investment and profit, they are naturally reticent.

Add in governments that are not committed to the freedom of global commerce, and the pressures to expand are overwhelmed by the easier, risk-averse, but potentially less lucrative work to improve efficiency and take advantage of rent-seeking.

Why US Oil Companies Are Holding Off on Drilling New Wells

“We’re seeing a combination of trying to reopen the Strait [of Hormuz] while simultaneously recognizing that there are going to be alternative routes to get oil and gas to market, including expanding production in new places and expanding production in the United States,” Caleb Jasso, policy expert at the Institute for Energy Research, told The Epoch Times. “The world as a whole is really reevaluating global energy supply chains and the need for a greater level of diversification.”

Thus far, however, America’s oil industry has remained cautious, holding off on major new investments and focusing instead on increasing output from existing wells. The combined number of oil and gas rigs operating in the United States declined from more than 700 in May 2023 to 558 today, according to Baker Hughes, an industry analytics firm. And while the oil rig count has increased from 410 at the beginning of this year to 429 as of May 29, most producers remain reluctant to pour significant money into new wells.

Capital intensive industries like petroleum (and semiconductors!) cannot function efficiently on a four-year political timeline. Global markets cannot function efficiently, or sometimes at all on those timelines, when freedom to conduct commerce across the globe is held hostage to the political winds in Washington or Peking or Tehran.

It is very easy to throw up one's hands and say, "Let's just get the hell out of the Middle East!" And based on the less than stellar outcomes of our adventures of the past 25 years, that is a rational thing. Nation BuildingTM has been thoroughly discredited, and has, hopefully, been thrown into the dustbin of history, at least until the next president with delusions of grandeur and no common sense decides that Shitcanistan must become a Jeffersonian Democracy, and uses our blood and treasure! And the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz is in all probability a temporary dislocation, as the world scrambles to find alternative methods of transport.

But there is another Strait of Hormuz lurking out there, and another after that one. Even if we fix the issue of a chaotic regulatory landscape and give the economy freedom to plan past the next election, trade routes that can be closed at the whim of despots or 7th century savages is an issue that will never go away.

President Trump's actions against Iran may be politically difficult, but there is no looming occupation of Iran, and the goal of denying the Mad Mullahs and their IRGC handlers a nuclear weapon is unequivocally good. That he is simultaneously degrading their ability to affect global commerce is also an unalloyed good.

Now if we can only get Congress to get off its collective ass and do something about the regulatory miasma!

The Morning Report — 6/ 4 /26

—J.J. Sefton

Pelleywhore.jpg

Good morning kids. Considering the moral, cultural and societal degradation and collapse of Western Civilization that in most cases we brought about on ourselves, there are things that perhaps give us at least a sliver of hope on which to cling. The ghastly butchering of a white Englishman at the hands of an immigrant was bad enough, but the reaction of police and British authorities that made the victim into the perpetrator and the murderer into a hero was even worse, in that it further confirmed my initial assertion about our society and culture as we share a closely intertwined history and lineage with England and given what's happening there and here perhaps a similar fate. And yet, this is happening.


Based on the events that have taken place in Britain in the past 24 hours, this technique does not appear to be as effective anymore. For the first time in memory, white people are organizing in the streets — in large numbers — to advance their own interests. They saw what happened to first-year university student Henry Nowak, who was butchered in the street by a foreigner — like so many other innocent whites living in Britain. They saw how the police handcuffed Nowak and mocked him as the life drained from his body, all because the murderous barbarian claimed that Nowak had been “racist.” They saw how the police in Britain will strip you of your rights and your dignity if they believe you harbor any resentment whatsoever towards the foreign hordes who are destroying your country. They saw how the killer’s family conspired to hide the evidence and concoct a false claim of self-defense — without any remorse whatsoever, only tribal loyalty. And having seen all of this — just the latest in a long string of executions, systemic injustice and humiliation that whites have been forced to endure in Britain for the past several decades — the indigenous people of the UK are finally rising up. They are taking back their own country. 

Well whether that last assertion is true is debatable, but the protests over this as well as that of the Islamic rape gangs are, and the reaction from the powers that be in now going after anyone who dares stand up and speak out is naked tyranny. This is England in 2026, the nation that stood up to Hitler and gave us Magna Carta is teetering on the precipice of that New Dark Age that Churchill warned about, but instead of Hitler and the Nazis it will be homegrown self-hating Britons and the foreign-born masses they let in and subsume them that pushes them over the edge into the abyss.


Public outrage in Britain is rising after the release of harrowing police bodycam footage in the stabbing and subsequent arrest of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old university student who was killed December 3, 2025 in Southampton, England, by a 23-year-old Sikh man named Vickrum Digwa. The circumstances of Nowak’s murder almost defy belief. On their own, they would be enough to send Britain into a spiral of race riots and civil unrest — if Nowak had not been white, and if his killer had not been Indian. As it is, the murder of Henry Nowak will probably not trigger the kind of rioting that George Floyd’s death did in the United States. But it does perfectly illustrate the logic of Black Lives Matter: racial minorities are to be believed and preferred, white people are not — even in cases where whites are the victims of violent crimes. When police arrived on the scene, he lied, telling them Nowak had called him a racist slur, which is a crime in Britain, owing to that country’s lack of anything like a First Amendment. So the police arrested Nowak, not Digwa, even as Nowak pleaded for medical aid, saying he had been stabbed. He told the officers he couldn’t breathe. He said this nine times, and four times he told them he had been stabbed...Instead of helping the victim of a violent attack, the police automatically believed Digwa. Why? Because he’s a racial minority and Nowak was white. The presumption of guilt and innocence, as far as the police were concerned, was determined entirely on the basis of race. The white boy must be guilty, the Sikh man must be the victim... On and on it goes, including the recent case of a Muslim man who called for the beheading of Jews but was released on bail, while white Britons who complained about him were arrested for posting about it on social media. ..This kind of thing has gotten out of hand in Britain, but the impulse to adopt racial preferences is actually an import to Britain from America. One of the odd and disturbing features of modern Britain is the extent to which they have adopted the racial narratives and in-group grievances of the American left — a paradigm wholly unsuited to British culture and history.

And speaking of this side of the pond and this kind of madness

. . . here are are again.

Rick Chow, a 61-year-old Chinese store owner, shot an armed teenager he suspected of stealing from his store while defending his son. After a trial, a jury found him not guilty which means that BLMers are doing their “No justice, no peace” and threatening race riots down in South Carolina.

That also means it’s a national news story why, because, well I’ll let CNN tell it, “Chow, 61, who is Asian, shot Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back after chasing him from his convenience store in Columbia, but maintained he acted to defend his son. The killing sent waves of anguish and grief through the African American community in Richland County, where nearly half the population is Black.”

It’s very vital to spell out that Chow… is Asian. We’ve gotten used to the addition of ‘Black’ or ‘White’, to stories, but now Asians get the same treatment.

In 1992 we cheered on the Rooftop Koreans of Los Angeles who defended themselves from the bloodthirsty savages who were out for blood, to avenge the death of Rodney King. Hopefully there will be rooftop Chinese in Columbia. While the deaths of Rodney King and Carmack-Belton were and are questionable. The reaction to the former and potential reaction to the latter were and will be inexcusable, regardless of the narratives put forth by the usual suspects in the race-hustler/divide-and-conquer complex.

With that, you have to admire the cojones of at least some in the Duluth GOP and it too perhaps gives hope that, to coin a phrase that usually brings forth vomitus, decent people are at long last speaking truth to power, the consequences be damned.

Minnesota Republican Party delegates held a brief moment of silence for Derek Chauvin during their state convention in Duluth, and the expected outrage arrived right on schedule. "The audacity of the Minnesota Republican Party to honor an individual who has both been convicted by a jury of his peers for the murder of a fellow human being, while at the same time violated a professional oath to protect and serve his community, is disgusting," Floyd family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci wrote Tuesday in a statement, according to The Hill. The attorneys demanded that state GOP leaders "issue an immediate retraction of this immoral act and issue an apology to the family of George Floyd and to the people of Minnesota that they serve."

. . . George Floyd, as we remember, died on May 25, 2020, after Minneapolis police responded to a call about a counterfeit $20 bill. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide and listed the cause as cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law restraint and neck compression.

The same official report also listed arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication, and recent meth use as significant conditions.

We're led to believe such an official report from a medical examiner, especially after so many people were fatally shot, yet during COVID, the bullets didn't kill them — the virus did.

Derek Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, receiving a 22-1/2-year state sentence and later receiving a concurrent 21-year federal sentence after pleading guilty to civil rights violations.

Chauvin is every bit on the same level as an Alfred Dreyfus, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and to shove it in the face of the Left Nelson Mandela!

If there is a God in Heaven, Ben Crump and his ilk will soon be standing before Him awaiting eternal damnation.

On the one hand, I cannot see Derek Chauvin being exonerated and freed from the Minnesota Gulag but at least Mumia Abu Jamal is still rotting in prison long after I expected him to be unleashed on us by Josh Shapiro.

Funny how conservatives don't cause massive riots whenever real injustice, and not the fictional variety, is unleashed on us. If we were to add up all the depredations, indignities and injustices we have suffered at the hands of Leftists and their ilk lo these many years, there would be nothing left but dust and ashes if we reacted even to a minimal degree what the BLM/Antifa/SOROS goon squads were bought and paid to do.

Lord help them should the day come when we finally say enough is enough.


Have a great day,

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional but why would you be wearing pants for the ONT? Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

I know what you're thinking. "I've been sitting here all evening in my underwear tearing through a bag of blue ranch Doritos contemplating the mysteries of life. There's crap on television and only cat videos on the internet. If only there was a place on the interweb that was an oasis of sorts. If only there was a place where the eccentric and eclectic gathered and Truth, Justice and the American Way still led from the front. I've got Dorito crumbs everywhere and my glass is almost empty but still...if only there was some overnight thread where the irreverent and insightful blend their collective wisdom and keep vigil to ensure the flames of freedom remain lit..."

Anyway.

American Carnage: Sanctuary City Rapes, Decarceration Slaughters

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Democrats pretend crime is just something that happens and that it's not fair to blame them for it.

But all of these crimes are the direct, inevitable, and easily-predictable consequences of the policies they choose, not just random events.

A deranged homeless man barred from entering Atlanta's public transportation stabbed an innocent 66-year-old woman 20 times for no reason, killing her.

Is it "public" transportation if the people actually paying for it can't use it because state-sponsored Droogs will murder them if they board?

One preventable slaughter after another.

A chilling, apparently random stabbing on a MARTA train leaves a 66-year-old woman dead

A 25-year-old man has been charged with murder after police say he stabbed a woman to death on an Atlanta commuter train in an apparently random attack.

It's not "random" any longer. It is, as the Joker says, "all part of the plan."

John Elijah Matthews was arrested around noon on Saturday, moments after he stepped off the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority train at the Oakland City Station, said MARTA Police Chief Scott Kreher. First responders tried to resuscitate Margaret Swan, 66, but she died at the scene, he said.

...

Kreher said video from the train depicted an unprovoked and chilling attack on an apparent stranger, and that Swan was stabbed up to 20 times.

"There's no evidence at this time to suggest they knew each other -- this was merely a random act of violence," Kreher said.

"He walked over, stood next to her, and within 30 seconds he had killed her," using a small pocket knife, Kreher said. "He looked at her, didn't say anything to her, pulled out a knife."

Other people were on the train at the time, Kreher said, but the suspect did not approach any of them.

"He finished attacking her, and he just stood there and waited for the train to stop in Oakland City. He got off the train car, went over on the platform, and just sat down. He didn't even try to run or hide," Kreher said.

Why should he? He's been protected by the anti-human state all his life. Why should he expect this time to be different?

This Solid Citizen and Cultural Enrichment Officer was supposedly "permanently banned" from Atlanta's public transportation system. What does that matter, when you don't prosecute fare-evaders? It's easy to jump the turnstiles.

To get banned from a subway, you need to have had many contacts with the police.

But the Decarceration Agenda made sure he was free to menace and murder at will.

Horrific video taken by passengers of the slain woman lying on a train floor splattered with blood here.


The police are refusing to release video. Why would they? The Regime doesn't want the proles to see their handiwork.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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. Any time there's a communist enslaving their population and executing dissenters and conservatives, Tucker praises that dictator by saying "at least he represses the homos!"
