“I have to tell you, they’ve probably got the worst election system of any state in the country. It’s as if they set out to design it so that it would be easy to cheat and easy to steal elections,” he said, noting that the Golden State has banned voter ID while they “mail ballots to every single registered voter in the state.”
“They don’t do anything, I mean, hardly anything to clean up their voter rolls. So, like, in Los Angeles, you talk to anybody who lives there, and they will tell you if they live in condos and apartments, they’re probably receiving or have received ballots in the mail for people who don’t live there,” he said, highlighting the magnitude of this issue, surmising that some individuals receive multiple ballots.
“People have testified to that. I mean, it’s just one thing after another like that,” he said, noting that it does not end there, as the state will count ballots that come in for seven days after Election Day, with a 22-day “cure period” for ballots with issues such as a missing signature. Even then, the so-called “fix” is lacking.
The problem with the Gen Z new age socialist frame of thought is that they have no means of production of their own. Put plainly, there are no such things as socialist means of production or economic market tools; if so, what are they? To Gen Z, putting private property in someone else's hands and tweaking the economy to their benefit sounds workable, but the basic reality is very scary: they are under the impression that a socialist economy will solve their problems, and everyone else's for that matter, because in their minds all you have to do is control prices, increase minimums, put a cap on this, overtax the other, overregulate this and that, confiscate wealth, and so on. Yet here is the red pill: the previously listed points are capitalist means of production for a market economy; without a socialist means of production, none of the utopian ideas are workable.
Of course the abject incompetence in the wake of the Pacific Palisades wildfires on top of the crime and economic dislocations of open borders have also opened eyes, the attacks on ICE and police notwithstanding, but far too many have taken a bite out of that reality sandwich and evidently are not liking the taste. And so, Newsom , Bass and the Democrats have deployed the fraud machine tonsure California stays blue, and that there is not even the most minuscule chance of losing the state nationally in '28 and possibly for a generation or two down the line. It's not necessarily wishful thinking on my part but just interpreting Democrat motives and mindsets in the current environment. And considering Newsom is the or a frontrunner for the top of the Democrat ticket in '28, his record speaks for itself, not just going forward but right here and now as reflected in the election theft.
California today “has the nation’s highest cost-of-living adjusted poverty rate, the highest levels of functioning illiteracy, and the worst housing affordability in the continental US,” writes Joel Kotkin, who has been chronicling California’s highs and lows for more than 40 years. “California increasingly resembles a neo-feudal state, where a handful of large companies drive the economy while the vast majority of workers endure high energy and housing costs, high taxes, and diminishing opportunity.”
Golden State government has spawned fiascos large and small. Fraudulent Medicaid spending, which made headlines in Minnesota last winter, seems likely to be even more monumental in California, whose Medicaid programs are scheduled to get $138 billion from the federal government, up $18 billion from 2024. The state subsidizes tribal ceremonies and exorcisms, gym memberships and art lessons. . . California in its golden years made the movie “Casablanca.” Today, Casablanca is better at building public works than California. The state that within six months completed two major bridges across the San Francisco Bay can’t properly route phone calls in Tuolumne County.
Taking a workable system and making it fail requires a particular talent. Reading between the lines, one sees little among California’s well-paid public-sector union ranks of the pride I once noticed in a state employee years ago. Instead, there is an eagerness to extract still more from the state’s private-sector success — SEIU is pushing a supposedly onetime wealth tax on the very rich to boost current employees’ benefits — and a complacent indifference to whether the work actually serves its intended beneficiaries. . .
. . . Will the politicians astride this rot pay a price? Harris was the Democratic nominee for president in 2024, and Newsom leads in polls for the nomination in 2028. But a countertrend may be visible in the theoretically nonpartisan June 2 primary for mayor of LA. The (sparse) polling shows LA Mayor Karen Bass way below the 50% needed to win reelection next week, and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt overtaking the left-wing council member initially expected to be her chief challenger.
Pratt’s house was burned down in the January 2025 Pacific Palisades fire, which struck as Bass (despite promising in 2002 to take no foreign trips) was headed to the inauguration of the president of Ghana. Pratt’s cheeky ads lampoon Bass’s left-wing policies, which have produced empty reservoirs and streets full of angry, drug-addicted homeless people.
Empty reservoirs and acres of homeless tents — that’s what California’s once-proud public sector has been producing.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took action “toward drafting” an affordability agenda for 2027 that puts Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in charge of health care, and transgender-identifying Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) in charge of caregiving, according to multiple reports.
So, in other words smother America with a pillow, steal its wallet, then gang anal-rape its convulsing corpse. Funny how Jefries insists we're in economic freefall thanks to President Trump while a look at the headlines in the Economy Stupid section today and over the last few days debunks that bullshit totally. Yes prices are still high but the trend towards better times is unmistakeable. And paying a bit more at the pump is a very small price to pay in order to prevent an Islamic ICBM from coming down on us.

The indefinite ceasefire, extended in late May, has not included a pause in Iran’s disruptions of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, or America’s naval blockade of Iranian ships in the strait in response.

Much like the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea is a vital passage for global trade. Any attempt to block navigation through the Red Sea—more specifically, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait at the mouth of the Red Sea, off the coast of Yemen—is likely to create significant delays and higher costs, especially for exports to and from Europe and Asia. This includes energy exports from the Gulf States. This represents the first major escalation from the Houthis since the group launched a similar campaign in late 2023 following Israel’s response to the October 7 attack. In early 2024, it was reported that Joe Biden’s government deprioritized the Houthis as a threat to U.S. interests in the region.

Monday Overnight Open Thread - June 8, 2026 [Hour of the Wolf]
—Open Blogger
Note from the hamsters -
Mis Hum has the night off. The other ONT hosts noticed something in the seldom-monitored suggestion box. No idea how long it had been in there. Regular commenter "Hour of the Wolf" is responsible for tonight's content. Treat him as you see fit!
No human endeavor has been more associated with mystery than the huge, ancient lion that has a human head and is seemingly resting on the rocky plateau a stroll from the great pyramids. Fortunately for Lehner, it wasn’t just a metaphor that the Sphinx is a riddle. Little was known for certain about who erected it or when, what it represented and precisely how it related to the pharaonic monuments nearby. So Lehner settled in, working for five years out of a makeshift office between the Sphinx’s colossal paws, subsisting on Nescafé and cheese sandwiches while he examined every square inch of the structure. He remembers “climbing all over the Sphinx like the Lilliputians on Gulliver, and mapping it stone by stone.” The result was a uniquely detailed picture of the statue’s worn, patched surface, which had been subjected to at least five major restoration efforts since 1,400 B.C. The research earned him a doctorate in Egyptology at Yale.
Recognized today as one of the world’s leading Egyptologists and Sphinx authorities, Lehner has conducted field research at Giza during most of the 37 years since his first visit. (Hawass, his friend and frequent collaborator, is the secretary general of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and controls access to the Sphinx, the pyramids and other government-owned sites and artifacts.) Applying his archaeological sleuthing to the surrounding two-square-mile Giza plateau with its pyramids, temples, quarries and thousands of tombs, Lehner helped confirm what others had speculated—that some parts of the Giza complex, the Sphinx included, make up a vast sacred machine designed to harness the power of the sun to sustain the earthly and divine order. And while he long ago gave up on the fabled library of Atlantis, it’s curious, in light of his early wanderings, that he finally did discover a Lost City.
The Sphinx was not assembled piece by piece but was carved from a single mass of limestone exposed when workers dug a horseshoe-shaped quarry in the Giza plateau. Approximately 66 feet tall and 240 feet long, it is one of the largest and oldest monolithic statues in the world. None of the photos or sketches I’d seen prepared me for the scale. It was a humbling sensation to stand between the creature’s paws, each twice my height and longer than a city bus. I gained sudden empathy for what a mouse must feel like when cornered by a cat.
The real reason the Sphinx is next to the pyramids? The Sphinx needs a scratching post. That's why the cover stones are missing.

Erika Kirk wowed the crowd at Turning Point USA's Women Leadership Summit with her cool response to a heckler who tried -- and failed -- to derail her speech.
A woman could be heard off camera, shouting from the audience as the CEO urged the crowd at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter to put their faith in God.
"Erika Kirk protects pedophiles! Erika Kirk protects pedophiles!" the woman screamed, video of the Friday event showed.
"It's important to remember that happiness comes and goes -- and I pray that you find it," she said to the heckler.
A protester outside a Turning Point USA event hosted by Erika Kirk dressed up as Charlie Kirk and re-enacted his death as crowds chanted, "He deserved to die."
The audience responded with cheers and applause, with some members of the crowd shouting: "We love you, Erika!"
The widow took several more jabs at the heckler -- who was removed from the crowd.
"That's an important moment because that just shows duty to faithfulness gives life meaning, and we must pray for our enemies and those that do not feel like their life has meaning. And that's a perfect example of that. A perfect example. You pray for your enemies. You pray for those that persecute you," Kirk said.
"That's not the enemy. We know who the real enemy is," she continued, without elaborating.

It's almost as if the people who refuse to peddle their talking points, get smeared.
The Trump administration on Monday announced it is seeking to revoke the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud, expanding its unprecedented denaturalization campaign.
CBS News exclusively reported about the plans before they were unveiled by the Justice Department.
Officials said the move represents the largest-ever effort by the U.S. government to use its denaturalization powers, which were rarely invoked before President Trump returned to the White House last year with promises to launch a historic deportation blitz. Between 1990 and 2017, the Justice Department filed an average of just 11 legal complaints per year seeking to denaturalize American citizens, historical figures indicate.
Federal law has long allowed the government to try to denaturalize foreign-born U.S. citizens who officials believe committed fraud to obtain their citizenship, such as by concealing information, like criminal conduct, on their immigration applications. But the process has been historically lengthy, complex and seldom exercised, requiring officials to persuade judges to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship in civil or criminal proceedings in federal court.
The Trump administration has sought to vastly escalate denaturalization efforts as part of its larger crackdown on illegal and legal immigration. In 2025, the Justice Department broadened the categories of naturalized citizens who should be prioritized for denaturalization. Last month, officials announced a dozen denaturalization cases, at the time the largest such effort in years.
Some of the 17 citizens targeted in the latest denaturalization campaign were convicted of violent or serious crimes, including sex offenses against children. Others were convicted of fraud crimes or accused of committing immigration fraud.
In federal court complaints filed across the country in recent days, Justice Department officials argued that the individuals concealed their criminal activity when they applied for U.S. citizenship or were otherwise ineligible to be naturalized, including because they lacked a "good moral character," one of the requirements in the naturalization process.
Those targeted in the latest round of denaturalization cases include a Haitian immigrant who allegedly sexually abused his daughter; a man from the former Yugoslavia convicted of sexually abusing a child under the age of 15; an immigrant from Mexico convicted of receiving sexually explicit images of minors; a former Catholic priest born in Colombia accused of child sex abuse; and a Filipino-born man who pleaded guilty to a child sex crime.
The group also includes an Indian immigrant accused of filing fraudulent H-1B visa petitions; the daughter of a Colombian drug trafficker accused of money laundering; a man born in Jamaica convicted of wire fraud; and a Cuban-born woman accused of defrauding a tribal casino. Other naturalized citizens were accused of using false identities.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department would have "zero tolerance" for abuse of the naturalization process.
"Criminal aliens are lying about their past crimes, including drug dealers, sexual predators, and fraudsters," Blanche said.
This Department of Justice has filed DENATURALIZATION ACTIONS in various U.S. district courts against 17 individuals accused of serious offenses.

Heads Must Roll: Hampton Police Planned to Cover Their Asses by Insisting that Henry Nowak Was a Racist Aggressor, Even After the Evidence That Digwa Was a Lunatic Thug With a Knife-Murder Fetish
—Disinformation Expert Ace
And even more than that -- they planned this PR campaign against Nowak and in favor of themselves even as prosecutors were preparing murder charges against Digwa, which would of course prejudice the trial in his favor.
They were blocked from doing this, but the intent was there.

@C_3C_3
Henry Nowak's case gets worse...
Hampshire Police wanted to paint Henry as the racist aggressor.
Even after they had evidence Vickrum was guilty and lying about "racism".
They didn't want truth out.
If it wasn't for X they would've likely gotten away with it.
The police force at the centre of the Henry Nowak scandal has been criticised for trying to release a statement 'portraying him as the aggressor' three days after his murder.
Hampshire Police planned to publish a statement implying that the 18-year-old had assaulted killer Vickrum Digwa and his brother, according to reports.
Mr Nowak died in the early hours of December 4 after being stabbed multiple times by Digwa, who is Sikh and had lied to police about being the victim of a racially motivated assault.
A police statement released later that morning said: 'It was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.' Officers told the Nowak family that the next update would also imply that the teenager was the initial aggressor, it is claimed.
But they later dropped that section of the statement, which only referred to an 'altercation' in its published form. At that point, police had substantial evidence that Digwa had lied to them.
Hampshire Police are also said to have risked collapsing Digwa's trial by trying to issue a statement over so-called 'disinformation' - while proceedings were already underway.
However, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) advised the force that the highly unusual move would risk jeopardising the 'integrity' of the case.
Ameer Kotecha, CEO of the Centre for Government Reform, said: 'These are appalling new details. As I have been saying, the no-questions-asked credulity with which the police treated Digwa's false racism claims just goes to show how deep the DEI rot has become.'
Nick Timothy MP, Shadow Justice Secretary, also criticised the police for threatening the 'integrity' of the trial with 'irresponsible statements'.
'Equality before the law should mean that trials are fair, that we all have the same legal rights and that we are subject to the same rules. Sadly, it has been displaced by an ideology that seeks to treat us differently based on race or identity.'
Instead of treating the first-year finance student as a victim, officers handcuffed him as he lay dying due to Digwa's false claim that he was a racist thug.
Digwa was handed a minimum jail term of 21 years on Monday, before riots erupted in Southampton a day later.
Hampshire Police said today: 'Following the opening of the trial and the media reporting that followed, a significant amount of mis- and disinformation was circulating online.
'This included requests for information to be shared that had not been fully examined as part of the murder trial.
'The intention of the statement was to remind the public that there were ongoing legal proceedings and that the law is clear that nothing could be published which could prejudice the trial. The decision not to publish was taken following advice from the CPS.'
Police diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies have come under scrutiny amid allegations Mr Nowak was failed by 'two-tier' policing.
Last year, West Yorkshire police had 19 staff dedicated to inclusion, costing £970,000 in combined salaries and benefits. The force also paid more than £360,000 to an external training provider.
Several policies are inspired by the National Police Chiefs' Council and Royal College of Policing's Police Race Action Plan, which was published in 2022 following the murder of George Floyd.
They include an 'About Time' timeline documenting events relevant to relations between the police and black people. One was issued to every force in England and Wales at a total cost of £97,000.
Meanwhile, the College of Policing paid £7,700 for a speaking 'masterclass' from Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a controversial lawyer who criticised police for kicking the Golders Green suspect while arresting him following the stabbing of two Jewish men.

Politico Cancels "Climate Change" Grift Subscription Service-- A Year After DOGE Turns Off the Government Subsidy
—Disinformation Expert Ace
You probably remember (at least if prompted) that during the days of DOGE upsetting all the socialist applecarts, it was revealed that Politico had a grifter newsletter with an exorbitantly high subscription price -- and that the main consumer was the US government, buying pricey subscriptions for leftwing bureaucrats who either wanted to read climate propaganda or just wanted to direct taxpayer money to support climate propaganda.
DOGE cancelled those subscriptions. The media howled, claiming that nearly $500,000 per year of taxpayer money was a very reasonable price to read Al Gore's Daily Diary.
Politico is discontinuing an energy and environmental news product a little over a year after the government canceled a nearly half a million dollar annual subscription to it.
Politico on Monday announced plans to shutter E&E News and introduce two new energy-focused newsletters in September, Semafor first reported. The move comes after Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced in February 2025 that the agency "will not be renewing our membership with Politico and Politico E&E, saving the American taxpayers $458,919 per year."
"Best $458,919 we ever saved on behalf of taxpayers," a spokesperson for the EPA told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "The government shouldn't subsidize poor journalism, and it's a stinging indictment of the previous administration that they wasted so many hard-earned American tax dollars keeping this outlet afloat."
"Beginning in September, we are modernizing how we deliver our energy and environmental policy journalism and launching a more focused, high-impact portfolio of daily news and intelligence products," Politico CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Politico Global Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Greenberger said in a joint statement on Monday. "By bringing together our reporting from Washington, U.S. state capitals, Europe, and across industry, these newsletters will help subscribers see how policy decisions, political fights, and market forces intersect to reshape energy and climate."
...
"As part of this shift, E&E News will no longer operate as a separate brand. Its journalism and expertise will be fully integrated into POLITICO's energy and environment portfolio of stories, briefs, analysis and newsletters," according to Politico's statement. "The current E&E News publication structure will evolve into a connected set of energy and environment editorial products that share our deep reporting and strong analysis while showcasing our greater global editorial coordination."
When reached for comment, a Politico spokesperson referred the DCNF to the company's announcement from Monday.

He's such a brilliant reporter and student of society that he had no idea that repeatedly insulting your boss (and his boss, on top of that) to get cheap applause from the other communist droogs is a firing offense.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: "But it really didn't occur to you that you could be fired after so many of your colleagues had been let go after you'd had this, you know, very contentious interaction with your new boss?"
Scott Pelley: "You know, some reporter, I turned out to be. I just didn't connect the dots. I mean, was this meeting contentious? Yes, but 60 Minutes is known for two things, a ticking stopwatch and hard questions. And we ask ourselves those hard questions in the shop because they sharpen us and make us better..."
Garcia-Navarro: "So, you walk in, and what was the energy of the room?"
Pelley: "Hostile, dismissive before I could take my seat. Tom Cibrowski said, this is a firing offense. I was confused. I wasn't sure who he was talking about in the room, but it became plain very quickly that they were talking about me, and they were unhappy about the meeting that had occurred, a meeting that had ended in thunderous applause for me, if I may say so, because somebody had stood up for the broadcast."
He cried again later in the interview, but insisting he was crying for his fellow Fake Journalists, not shimself:
Scott Pelley cries again when declaring CBS’s Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski showed “breathtaking, completely lack of empathy,” “callousness,” and “inhumanity” by letting go Tanya Simon because her “family is legendary at CBS News.”
Pelley is a classic talking-head--someone who started in television and whose whole career has been forged within it. This is the world that the movie Broadcast News depicts. Someone handsome and deep-voiced appears on camera. Others do most or all of the writing and the research.
(Interestingly, the producer of the 2009 Chevron piece, Draggan Mihailovich, was among the top 60 Minutes producers fired late last month by CBS News management, enraging Pelley.)
In Britain, news anchors have traditionally been called "newsreaders." That's because this is what they are. Their job is to make sure that their hair is coiffed when they read from the teleprompter. Pelley was a male bimbo: a himbo.
Over the years, he made many absurd and bombastic statements. For example, in 2006 he presented a completely uncritical two-part report on climate change. When critics asked him why he didn't speak to anyone who questioned the assertions of those who said that climate change was an existential threat to humanity, he responded by saying that this idea was akin to Holocaust denial.
...
"The job of on camera talent is that of a performer. Take Christiane Amanpour. She has often appeared on TV wearing flak jackets when she is far from a combat zone. This is her way of selling the message that she is a field correspondent accustomed to visiting dangerous terrain. Similarly, Pelley is said to have liked to end news broadcasts by taking off his glasses and gazing gravely as the camera dramatically panned in to him. That was his way of ending on a weighty yet "intimate" note."

MORNING RANT: The Renormalization of Slavery – Great Britain is Backing Off from Forced Labor Ban in Pursuit of Net Zero Objectives
—Buck Throckmorton
One of the great triumphs of western civilization, especially since the Age of Enlightenment, has been the rejection of slavery in western societies. Human chattel and slave labor were the norm throughout most of human existence. The rejection of slavery these past couple centuries has been an anomaly. Or maybe I should say “had been an anomaly.” Slavery is now being justified by the climate cultists as necessary to save the planet.
Disturbingly, there is a broad coalition of westerners who fancy themselves as being “enlightened,” but they are actually leading the effort to re-establish slavery. As I documented in an American Spectator piece titled “The War on Labor Expense is Renormalizing Slavery, Just in a 21st Century Form,” free market libertarians advocate for the use of offshore forced labor so as to lower labor costs. With a straight face they make the argument that a prohibition on the use of foreign slaves is a tax on American consumers. Where slavery can’t be offshored, human trafficking cartels are importing slave labor into the United States and other western countries. Their human chattel is put to work by legitimate business entities, but through an opaque hiring process involving layers of “sub-contractors.”
Among the greatest achievements of the British empire and the Royal Navy was the eradication of slavery in the western world / in the 19th century. But with the Church of Climate replacing Christianity as Britain’s state religion, slavery is being re-normalized as a necessary sacrifice to please their angry climate God.
The U.K. government has walked back a promise to banish forced labor from the supply chains of its state-run clean energy company, as ministers rush to hit climate goals.
The UK has backtracked on its pledge to ban slave labour from its renewable supply chain to meet Ed Miliband's Net Zero goals.
Labour enshrined in law a promise that its state-run company GB Energy would not fund companies using forced labour. But following a probe that revealed that it had funded solar panels for schools without guarantees that they were ethically manufactured, it rowed back.
In a statement, the energy department introduced a new caveat to say that it would only ensure panels were free from forced labour 'as far as possible'.
It came as the Government announced that it would push to rid the energy system of fossil fuels and focus on renewables instead.
The Sustainable Organic Church of the Climate Apocalypse is a demonic religion that first advocated for a reduction in human standards of living, and is now embracing the re-normalization of slavery. Its high priests are actually making the argument that the use of slave labor is a moral good when used in pursuit of the church’s anti-carbon mission.
We on the right often joke that “You are the carbon they want to eliminate,” but with the climate cultists now openly endorsing slavery, they are just one small step away from openly advocating for radical “de-population” efforts in pursuit of their Net Zero utopia.
Too many Republicans in the U.S. and “conservatives” abroad have played nice with those pushing the climate agenda, accepting the false premise that “climate actions” are motivated by good intentions. That’s not acceptable. We must realize that the left and its climate agenda are a de-humanizing death cult that is heading full-steam toward a societal overhaul such as what was imposed by Mao and Pol Pot.
Net Zero must be repudiated and politically de-fanged. We cannot let this get any further out of control.
Nevada Primary is Tomorrow – Vote Jeffrey Carter for State Treasurer
Just a reminder, tomorrow is election day in Nevada, and I’d like to encourage all readers in the Silver State to get and out vote in the Republican primary, and vote Jeffrey Carter for Treasurer. He is one of us.
Mr. Carter is a long-time Ace of Spades reader, and unlike some of his peers in the world of venture capital, he is an unapologetic supporter of Donad Trump. (Mr. Carter writes the widely linked political site “Points & Figures.”)
While I would endorse Jeffrey Carter, who is a friend of mine, irrespective of the quality of his opponent, Jeff is the clear choice in this race. His opponent, Drew Johnson, is a serial candidate who has name recognition from the races he has lost. The critical thing to know is that Drew Johnson is a fringe libertarian who admires Thomas Massie. When Mr. Johnson ran for Congress a few years ago (a race he lost) he promised to work with Massie to undermine President Trump.
In a post on X, Barak Ravid, a global affairs correspondent for Axios, shared that Trump told him he was “going to call Netanyahu” and tell Netanyahu “not to strike back.” Trump’s comments to Ravid come after Iran retaliated with a missile strike on Israel after Israel struck Beirut in response to an attack from Hezbollah, according to Axios. Axios reported that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) “said sirens sounded in northern Israel as four missiles were launched from Iran”:
. . . One United States official, along with “two other sources” told the outlet that Israel had “notified the Trump administration before the strike” on Beirut. Another U.S. official told the outlet that the U.S. “supports Israel’s right to self-defense and stands with the legitimate Government of Lebanon as it works to deliver a better future for its citizens.”
Yes,I get it that unnamed sources as well as propaganda organs like Axios are to be taken with a grain of salt. But there is no doubt that President Trump no doubt would like the conflict to be over with as soon as possible, both to spare the lives of American service personnel and any innocent parties on the ground and to staunch the political fallout here at home as we get closer and closer to the crucial midterm elections.
“This is regime change,” Trump added. “One regime is gone, another regime is gone, we’re dealing with the third. Pieces of it, because some of them are gone, too.”
Regrettably, the president’s math is premised on a misguided assumption. Regime change requires the eradication of the ruling ideology, not merely the removal of some of the rulers who enforce it.
The two obvious examples of successful regime change that spring to mind are from World War II. Both prove the point in different ways.
When the U.S. and its allies occupied Nazi Germany following its unconditional surrender, de-Nazification was a comprehensive, whole-of-society effort to eradicate both the ruling ideology and the rulers themselves. This was necessary to eradicate over a decade of Nazi indoctrination and genocidal totalitarian rule over the German people, as well as the vile regime’s similar domination of occupied nations, which occurred with the support of elements within those local populations. Consequently, a root-and-branch elimination of the Nazi ideology followed. While Hitler and other top Nazis cheated the hangman, the Nuremberg war crimes trials resulted in the execution and/or imprisonment of remaining key regime leaders. Thus, in the instance of regime change in Nazi Germany, both the National Socialist ideology and its regime’s leadership were eradicated.
The way the game is being played this time is even sleazier with an attempt to knock out Spencer Pratt, who finished second on Election Night, in the first round with a whole lot of ‘late arriving ballots’ for the third place candidate, Nithya Raman.
It’s not remotely credible for a third place candidate who finished on Election Night in the twenties to be picking up 40% of late arriving ballots.
The previous defense that Democrats pick up more late arriving ballots doesn’t work either because it turns out that the Democrat who gets the most late arriving ballots is… the one who needs them more.
Magical isn’t it.
All with a turnout that somehow topped the much more popular and momentous 2022 mayoral election.
You know, getting rid of the Mullahs is all well and good, but unless and until the Democrat/Left is wiped off the face of the earth for all time (rhetorically speaking of course!) we are going over the cliff.

Yep, that’s exactly what we assumed, since we had been watching Joe glitch for more than four years, despite the best efforts of his “American Politburo” of minders, led by the ambitious Jill, to conceal her husband’s frailties.

Shorts Season, Served with Sass: How to Make Them Look Expensively Polished in 2026
I’m not a shorts girl. I own exactly two pairs: my beloved cut-off Levi’s 501s (great for beach days, questionable everywhere else) and one tailored olive green pair that occasionally sees daylight. I gravitate to skirts and dresses, but sometimes you just need something that doesn’t involve wrestling with wind.
These are the exact looks I would put together for myself. Elevated, flattering, and full of personality so I actually feel excited to wear shorts instead of defaulting to a dress.
The good news? Shorts can look polished, and even a little sexy, when styled right. Let’s prove it with three looks that lean into the best of Ralph Lauren, Ted Baker, and Dolce & Gabbana drama.
Look 1: Ralph Lauren Chic (The “Luxury on Vacation” Vibe)
This look is pure effortless elegance. Think Piper in the Italian countryside. Monochromatic linen blends, clean lines, and the most forgiving pleats you’ll ever meet. These shorts are strategically designed so the pleats sit in all the right places instead of creating new ones. 😉
• Pleated Linen Blend Twill Shorts by Lauren Ralph Lauren in Light Agave Green
• Twist Front Sleeveless Top by Lauren Ralph Lauren in Light Agave Green
• Lina Wedge Sandal by Reformation in Rum Leather
• Romy Straw Bucket Bag by Tory Burch (large)
• The Vivienne 59mm Gradient Round Sunglasses by Ralph Lauren
Slip this on and suddenly you’re the woman who “just threw this together” while secretly looking like you have a summer house in Tuscany.
Sunshine in clothing form. This combo brings playful British preppy meets summer ease. The perfect mix of textures feels rich without trying too hard. Cotton-blend shorts keep things crisp, the ruffle-trim knit adds softness, and those sky-blue patent slides? Chef’s kiss. Retro sunnies seal the polished-but-fun deal.
• Hana Plaid Cotton Blend Shorts by Ted Baker in Camellia Rose
• Elisa Rib Ruffle Trim Sweater by Ted Baker in Vanilla Ice
• Fina Slide Sandal by Bruno Magli in Sky Blue Patent
• 50mm Oval Sunglasses by Mia Mia
• Paddington Leather Shoulder Bag by Chloé in Cloudy Cream (small)
Wear this and you’ll feel like the main character running around town looking annoyingly cute.
Look 3: Dolce & Gabbana Luxe (Main Character Energy, Activated)
When you want shorts to scream “I’m expensive and I know it.” Matching Majolica prints, a flirty bustier, and embroidered mules make every step feel like a runway moment. Heels + shorts = instant leg-lengthening sorcery.
• Majolica Print Mat Bermuda Shorts by Dolce & Gabbana
• Majolica Print Charmeuse Bustier Top by Dolce & Gabbana
• Majolica Print brocade mules with embroidery by Dolce & Gabbana
• DG Sunglasses
This look is confident, feminine, and just the right amount of extra.
Shorts don’t have to feel like giving up on style, they can be your secret weapon for warm-weather polish. Whether you’re channeling Ralph Lauren ease, Ted Baker charm, or D&G drama, the key is tailoring, texture play, and confidence.
Which of these three looks is making you want to give shorts another chance? ☀️

As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative. You are always welcome to lurk in the shadows of shame, but I'd like to invite you to jump into the conversation, say howdy, and tell us what kind of shooting you like to do!
Holy Shitballs! How in the ever-loving hell did it get to be the First June Edition? For those keeping track at home, there will be four June Gun Threads this month. That is to say one per week, on Sundays. Please do try and keep up, 'kay?
With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?
Are you practicing your fundamentals indoors or outdoors? What kind of targets are you using? Are you changing them frequently, making notes, and taking them home for later study? If not, why not?

NoVaMoMe 2026
What - you thought there wasn't going to be a NoVaMoMe in 2026?
Note: One of the great joys of NoVAMoMe season, at least for me, is being able to cut and paste the entire block of text below and haranguing you to attend the event. Are you attending? Are you focusing on the fundamentals of attending?
Alright, guys and gals, the long awaited and highly anticipated details of the 2026 NoVAMoMe are here! That's right, I finally got my act together and updated the information page for 2026, and need to go over a few details. First, the date is June 20th, 2026 from 11am to 3pm. Nextly, my bestest blog buddy bluebell and I have decided 2026 will continue the longstanding tradition of NoVAMoMe simplification, and want to pass along the changes from prior years.
First, no registration and no advance charge for food. If you would like to attend, send an email to WeaselBell Productions, and let us know. You will be directed to a sekrit webpage with all of the details. We do ask once you have decided to attend to let us know so we can coordinate an expected count with venue management. Once there if you are hungry or thirsty simply order from the onsite menu and pay separately. Cash and credit cards accepted. Next, although fun, we have decided to again take a break from the raffles and mug sales this year. Depending on how it goes, that may be something we bring back in future years.

Next, a NoVAMoMe PSA from our pal bluebell
Hi folks - just a quick PSA. If you write for info about the MoMe, please give us a few words in the body of the email just so I know you are a Moron and not a spammer (moron). I do receive spam on this email account because it's sitting right here in my nic, so that's why I'm asking. I don't want to give our details to a spammer. Also, remember to check your spam folder if you don't receive a reply email.
Thanks.

Here are some different online cigar vendors. You will find they not only carry different brands and different lines from those brands, but also varying selections of vitolas (sizes/shapes) of given lines. It's good to have options, especially if you're looking for a specific cigar.
A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid
Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!
Please note the new and improved protonmail account gunthread at protonmail dot com. An informal Gun Thread archive can be found HERE. Future expansion plans are in the works for the site Weasel Gun Thread. If you have a question you would like to ask Gun Thread Staff offline, just send us a note and we'll do our best to answer. If you care to share the story of your favorite firearm, send a picture with your nic and tell us what you sadly lost in the tragic canoe accident. If you would like to remain completely anonymous, just say so. Lurkers are always welcome!
That's it for this week - have you been to the range?
Food Thread: Brisket, Patty Melts, And Other Fine Foods
—CBD
Pastrami is the quintessential Jewish deli meat, and when done well can be delicious. It can also be too lean, dried out, and very disappointing! Too many delis around here overcook the pastrami and dry it out, and even worse, buy into the hysterical diet insanity that fat is bad, and sell lean meat that is devoid of flavor.
Of course pastrami is nothing more than smoked and spiced corned beef, and corned beef is nothing more than salted brisket! And do we know where a lot of good brisket is made using a very different technique? Why yes...we do!
Texas!
But Unlike pastrami, Texas brisket is almost always smoked with a simple preparation of salt and black pepper. That is not a bad thing, and in fact, a good Texas smoked brisket is one of the glories of the food world.
So what happens when you combine the two? Magic. Magic is what happens!
A friend was kind enough to bring a brisket from a place in Austin for a small gathering. And when I say "a place in Austin," I mean a pizza joint. This is where the fabric of the universe is torn, and the strong forces start doing strange things!
This unassuming pizza place (called "Pieous") makes absolutely spectacular pastrami, that is really a blend of the best of Jewish deli pastrami and Texas brisket. I hesitate to describe it further because I have never had anything like it, and it is better than either of its progenitors! It has the smoke of Texas, the interesting spiciness of the deli, but it blends them perfectly into something unique.
It reminds me of a place in Northern Maryland...also a pizza joint...that makes the best crab cakes I have ever had. The pizza is crap, but damn, the crab is amazing.
Anyway, if Austin weren't terminally weird and leftist, this pastrami would be a damned good reason to move there!
I live in New Jersey...the land of the diner. Well, to be accurate, the land of a certain kind of diner that does lots of things adequately, but very little is done well.
But there are other diners to be had, and one in particular has piqued my interest. It is the quintessential New England coffee shop/breakfast joint/lunch joint, and it does what it does with very little regard for anything other than good food and pleasant company. Everyone who works there is friendly in that particular New England way, but that friendliness is made easier by a kitchen that keeps it simple and tasty. Oh, the coffee is good and hot.
But the best part on my last visit was the waitress and her earrings!
Well, the patty melt was excellent too. And cooked to medium-rare, which shocked me!

Ina Garten's Outrageous Brownies are as advertised. They are indeed outrageous, and in a good way! Absolutely delicious, and worth a try, especially if your dessert taste favors less sweet options. These are very chocolaty without being sweet. Fantastic, even though the recipe is a typical Garten one...a few too many steps and a few too many bowls!

Thick cut fries twice-cooked in duck fat. It does not get better than that.
Duck fat adds a rich deliciousness that is absolutely a game-changer if you are a fry aficionado, and the thick cut gives enough surface area for the potato to soak up that flavor. Cooking them twice (the first cook is lower temp) is essential because of that thick cut, otherwise the outside would burn before the inside got cooked.
Yes, I ate that pastrami AND those fries on the same weekend. And yes, I need to go clothes shopping for some elastic-waisted pants.
******
Peking Duck is a great dish, and can be had in the United States with a little luck that the Chinese joint that is making it has not succumbed to the all-too-common failing that Americans don't know good Chinese food, so just mail it in!
But that platter is from a restaurant in Hong Kong, and no, sadly I was not at the table! It sure does look good though, and the report is that it was delicious.
And stupidly expensive. Thank God for expense accounts!

The garlic is doing well! For now. It was 42 degrees this morning, and I am unsure how well garlic will tolerate that. I know all of you are worried, but it is still tall and green and healthy! And if they survive the deer and squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.
Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.
The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!
If there was a Platonic Ideal of oven mitts, that would be it!
Except...the designers clearly fell down on the job and did not design it to last forever, so my three mitts (I bought two more as soon as I realized that it was perfect) are not long for this world.
Sadly, the manufacturer discontinued the design in favor of a clearly inferior one, but probably cheaper and easier to manufacture.
I have considered having it copied and manufactured for myself, and even hit up you maniacs for advice, but the small-run required is not cost effective.
The alternatives are grim: keep using the mitts and accept the occasional burn as they fall apart, then stop using mitts altogether, and accept burns every day; or stop cooking.
The Democrat Party Is The Party Of Violence And Hatred, And They Are Proving It Every Day
—CBD
[Hat Tip: TC]
The normalization of violence and class/racial/ethnic hatred is a hallmark of totalitarian regimes. Consolidate power, then kill your enemies is the tried-and-true playbook, and the reality is that nothing else will work. A non-violent socialism will fail eventually because of the innate desire of man to better himself, and socialism restricts that possibility.
And they know it. The ruling class of every totalitarian regime in history has internalized the primacy of violence, and see it as a tool to acquire and use power. So the exposure of violent tendencies in a Democrat politician is surprising only because he has allowed the mask to fall away. The violence and hatred is simply part of the political philosophy! From Democrat politicians raping children to their street thugs burning cities...they are indistinguishable from the totalitarians of history because they ARE totalitarians.
Graham Platner, the likely Democrat Senate candidate for Maine, who got an SS Nazi tattoo and lied about most of his past, and cheated repeatedly on his wife while she was undergoing IVF was featured in a New York Times article describing how he had abused an ex and discussed raping people.
And raised $200,000 making it his biggest fundraising haul since Gov. Janet Mills dropped out of the race.
A whole lot of Dems and lefties are voting with their bucks and supporting what they like .
Violence against women? Rape as a tool of power? That is perfectly acceptable for the Democrat party because the acquisition and exercise of power over the people is the only thing that matters, and any tool that allows them to achieve those goals is perfectly reasonable.
How else to explain Platner's fundraising haul? All of those middle-aged blue-haired lunatic women who find him exciting are curiously quiet when it comes to his casual misogyny. And if they find rape to be acceptable, they certainly won't blink an eye at his Jew-hate.
That is a clear signal that power is more important to any ethical standards in the Democrat Party. They would rather have a violent rape-fantasizing Nazi than cede the election to a milquetoast ersatz Republican.
If you’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting me, you can tell from my waistline that I love to eat. I won’t give you my exact measurements, but I will note that Edward VII had a waistline of 48 inches, which in his day was considered grossly obese. His Majesty and I could share closets.
I love to eat. I like to cook, but unlike CBD, I’m not very good at it. But I love to read about food. Not just recipe books, which, although entertaining on their own, can be somewhat dull, but books about the history and sociology of food. For instance, I have several books dedicated to food, its preparation and the status of cooks in both high and low society during the Middle Ages, each of which is the sort of read that both informs you and leaves you hungry. Here are three:The Medieval Cook, and Fast and Feast: Food in Medieval Society, both by Bridget Ann Henisch and Fabulous Feasts: Medieval Cookery and Ceremony, by Madeline Pelner Cosman.
I also love books about dining outside the house, in restaurants, cafés and roadside venues; two of my faves are Repast: Dining Out at the Dawn of the New American Century, 1900-1910, by Michael Lesy & Lisa Stoffer and Appetite City: A Culinary History of New York, by William Grimes. And that’s not even touching other tomes like Duncan Hines’ various editions of Adventures in Good Eating, histories of the Harvey Girls and drive-ins, or bios of the founders of the great fast-food chains such as Colonel Sanders, the McDonald brothers or Billy Ingram, the man behind White Castle.
What about you? Are cookbooks just instruction manuals to you or treats to dip into during a particularly puckish mood? Have you ever, like me, come across a Delmonico’s menu from 1895 and wonder if you could make your way through a Gay Nineties lobster palace night?
NEW: Five FBI employees were fired today over the infamous Richmond Catholic memo on "radical traditionalist Catholics," FBI source confirms to @realDailyWire.
Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate. Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Oh my Totenkopf Tattoo, that is a DRUBBING! I'm usually very anti-antisemitism but if the Communist Antisemite Jihadists can pull this one off, Go Communist Antisemite Jihadists, Go!
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:

Funny -- if you don't mind clicking on TikTok. "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster. This might be fake because I don't see how a program can respond in real time, but it's funny.
The ULA rocket just launched Thanks to Joyenz The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'" I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir"
From the CA Post:
Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.
A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.
And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.
Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.
Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.
Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars Gee I wonder where they might have met Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
