Feds: We Have Probable Cause to Show That America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Committed Immigration Crimes
—Disinformation Expert Ace
That's not a surprise -- you need probable cause to obtain a warrant, and a judge found that DHS did have probable cause.
And that judge was probably a leftist.
Department of Justice (DOJ) officials confirmed on Monday that Omar's home had been raided as part of a federal probe. Fahey says that because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is involved, the case focuses on the issue of immigration, but details remain unclear."The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there's probable cause that a federal crime was committed, and there would be evidence of that crime in the area to be searched, which in this case was Representative Omar's home," Fahey told the New York Post's Chadwick Moore.
In particular, Fahey said it could not have been an easy task for federal investigators to secure a judicial warrant on Omar's home, considering D.C. judges tend to be left leaning, telling the Post that "a judge must have been very convinced" by the evidence presented.
America's sweetheart may be in trouble.
The search Monday of Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home by federal agents was focused on the Minnesota Democrat's immigration history, raising the prospects of legal and denaturalization risks for the Somalian-born lawmaker.Federal agents with the Homeland Security Investigations division of the Department of Homeland Security were seen outside Omar's home in the early hours of Monday.
HSI "executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice," an agency spokesperson said in a statement. The spokesperson also confirmed that the raid is "part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation."
Multiple outlets report that the search was part of a criminal fraud investigation into the Omar's immigration paperwork.
The New York Times reports that a new investigation targeting Omar was opened in recent months and centers on her immigration history. The probe is focusing, in part, on whether Omar's late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, lied or omitted information when he sought citizenship in the United States.
Federal authorities determining Omar's father falsified his citizenship application paperwork could lead to them pursuing a criminal or denaturalization case against the congresswoman because she, in turn, would have been granted citizenship from a father who was ineligible for naturalization.
Omar said Monday that the raid on her home was an attempt by President Donald Trump to target his political enemies.
"I will not be silenced," she wrote in a post to X.
I don't want to silence you, I want to deport you and make you persona non grata in the US.
Meanwhile, the same people who said "No one is above the law" to justify -- celebrate, even -- the raid on Mar-a-Lago now say the search of a mere Representative's house is a fascist invasion.

Democrats to Kamala Harris: Get Bent and Get Lost
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Democrats have been hinting that Kamala Harris should stop wasting everyone's tim, pretending that she is a credible presidential candidate.
But Kamala Harris is a stupid and a daydrinking drunk, and has not taken the hint.
I know I hit this point a lot, but it is incredible to me that when seeking a job that requires real sobriety, she constantly shows up for planned speeches drunk enough to slur half of her words.
It would be one thing if a reporter caught her out at night, unexpectedly, and she was sloshed. But no, she turns up for planned media opportunities three sheets to the wind. She can't keep herself to just two drinks to loosen her up, she has to drink seven or eight just before a speech.
And the media, of course, pretends they can't tell when someone is slurring their words because they're drunk. Only a medical doctor can make this difficult diagnosis. Which is even more absurd than telling us that we weren't credentialed enough to know that Biden was showing signs of advanced cognitive decline.
That rant over: Because Willie Brown's Brown Willie Warmer won't take a hint, Democrats are escalating.
Now they're not hinting, they're telling her -- some of them under their actual names -- to go away.
'She totally blew it': How Kamala Harris wasted a year to make her case
Harris has offered voters almost nothing in the way of specifics about how she would remake a Democratic Party hungry for change after another term of Donald Trump.
...
For Harris, according to interviews with nearly 20 Democratic Party donors and strategists in California and across the country, it was a missed opportunity to redefine herself -- and ultimately a wasted year.
"She totally blew it," said Doug Herman, who was a lead mail strategist for Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns. "She hasn't gotten into the mix."
Harris has offered voters almost nothing in the way of specifics about how she would remake a Democratic Party hungry for change after another term of Donald Trump. She hasn't spoken to how she would expand her own appeal to the voters who rejected her, and she remains as reticent of media as ever, continuing to favor appearances before friendly audiences and at times drawing fire for limiting access to news organizations altogether. She has entirely sidestepped the ideological civil war consuming the Democrats and has acted more like a party elder at a time when voters and donors are demanding a break with the past.
"I don't see anything different myself. It seems like more of the same to me," said Jim Hodges, the former governor of South Carolina, the first state on the Democratic nominating calendar. "Right now Democratic primary voters ... are very anxious about a Trump acolyte being in the White House in 2028. And they want to select someone who they think has the best chance to win, but who also meets these requisites: fresh, new. I hear a lot of talk about that -- 'we don't need recycled candidates.'"
...
"I am looking at all kinds of candidates for 2028, and she's not necessarily one of them," said Laurie Black, a San Diego-based donor and longtime Harris supporter. "It's not that I don't think she's qualified ... [but] I want to support a winner in 2028, and I just don't know if the vice president has the juice this time."
Another California-based fundraiser could not think of a single person in their circle who wants Harris to run again.
...
But if Harris showed an inclination after leaving office to recalibrate, it never materialized. On policy, Harris has stuck to familiar territory, focusing on affordability, artificial intelligence and voting rights -- all issues she has championed or worked on throughout her career. A person close to Harris said it was more authentic for the former vice president to build on themes she's long been passionate about, rather than turning to new topics....
"The one thing that everyone is disappointed in, whether you're a swing voter or you're a base voter, is that they feel like she hasn't done anything with this time," said a Democratic pollster who conducts focus groups with voters across the country and was granted anonymity to discuss internal research. "They just aren't hearing from her at all, and so the only thing they remember from her is losing the last election. That's the most recent memory in their minds."
...
She developed a habit of backtracking on more ambitious campaign proposals after pushback, like her call to eliminate private health insurance in the 2019 Democratic primary and her anti-price gouging plan in 2024."Frankly, this is Kamala's biggest weakness -- her inability to have these big ideas," said Herman. "She doesn't have these big policy concepts because it's not been part of who she is. She's an attorney. She is a lawyer who works in prosecutions, and it's not in her bones to do this stuff."
Nor has talking about policy been a strong suit. Accused at times of offering "word salad" in her past campaigns, Harris still defaults to discursive statements of values and calls for conversations around hot-button issues instead of declaring where she stands. She remains reticent to speak with mainstream media outlets, though she's been more open to long-form podcast interviews. And she still relies on well-worn anecdotes from past stump speeches, like recalling attending civil rights protests as a toddler with her mother wheeling her in a stroller.
FWEEDOM!!!
"If I were her, I would never say that stroller story again in my life," said one longtime associate who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. "She's never been very good at updating her memorized riffs."
Below: Kamala has all new salads to toss.
Well, they're kind of new. They're all kind of the same pattern of tautology and circular illogic. She's no Sphinx.

UK Prime Cuck Andy Burnham: Iran's Terrorist Army the IRGC Was "Almost Certainly" Behind the Seven Shirtless Men Casing the Air Force Base
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Tell me something I didn't already know, Cuck.
Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh23h
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The attempted terrorist attack on RAF Fairford base in the UK -- used by AMERICAN TROOPS and jets -- was almost certainly directed by IRAN and the IRGC, per UK PM Burnham
AND THERE IT IS.
Yet the suspects are RELEASED by UK police. Why are they not IN CUFFS right now?!
President Trump said immediately after the first arrests that the US was watching the potential plot
Clearly the US-UK knew about it before...yet the UK released the suspects
Either something is being hidden from the public or those suspects need to be re-arrested IMMEDIATELY!
The barbarians are inside the gates. The UK needs to wake up.
Video below the fold.

Former Fox Host and Wife of Grifter Gavin Newsom, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Resigns as Ambassador to Greece After Caught Asking for $100,000
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Once a grifter...
Allegedly -- and recent news seems to confirm it -- she demanded a political donor pay off her $100,000 in credit card debt.
Apparently she just didn't want anyone asking about her debt during confirmation hearings. So... she decided that demanding a Trump donor give her $100,000 was the less-perilous route.
Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express--in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail."It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express," she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. "Please."
The grifting was too griftacious and now she'll be shaking her tin cup in the private sector.
U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle on Tuesday confirmed her departure from the position in a social media post in which she said that her time in the role was "coming to an end."The White House announced that it had asked her to leave on Tuesday morning, amid a scandal involving her allegedly seeking $100,000 to pay off a credit card bill.
...
"While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end," she added.
Guilfoyle also denied the allegations against her, saying they are "false" and that she would "vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity."
Whatever, Kimmy.
Trump asked her to resign, which is just a firing with extra steps.

The Mystery of the Talarico Disappearance
—Disinformation Expert Ace
There's a lot of speculation going on, which, unlike in the case of the Charlie Kirk murder, is completely justified because we have a legitimate mystery which James Talarico refuses to resolve himself.
I say it's the AIDS Crazies, but other people have their own theories.
The big theory is, of course, that James Talarico had a mental health crisis and checked himself in to an Ohio mental health facility.
Is there evidence for this? Well, some. A private plane flew from Austin to an airfield close by the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio. Which itself is interesting because that mental health facility was used by one of Talarico's friends and close political supporters.
Caroline Wren @CarolineWren
What are the chances that a private plane took off from Austin and flew to tiny Hamilton airport in Ohio which is 20 mins from the Lindner Center, a private inpatient mental health treatment facility, and then turned around and flew back to Austin landing yesterday morning at 10:24am right before James Talarico magically reappears at the Austin City Limits music festival that afternoon? Lindner Center also happens to be the same facility that Talarico's good friend and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo spent 7 weeks in when she had a mental breakdown 3 years ago...
Of course, the big huge evidence is that reporters called the mental health facility in question and a representative there confirmed Talarico had been treated there, but had just been released.
Now the hospital is denying this, but the original admission is on audiotape, and one can imagine that if they unwisely disclosed Talarico's presence there they would have to scramble to deny it due to rules about patient confidentiality.
The nation's Democrat Propaganda Outfit of Record says trust us, we have secret evidence we can't share that Talarico has just been at home for some of these past 12 days.
There are many problems here:
1, that doesn't prove that he didn't check himself into a mental health facility. Even taking that as true, we could only conclude he wasn't at a mental health facility for 8 of the 12 days. Self check-ins to mental health facilities are often short stays of 48 hours or 72 hours, my extensive experience in reading detective fiction tells me.
2, this "evidence" is shared by intense partisans -- the campaign itself -- and cannot be trusted. Nor can the intense partisans at the NYT, who will not share the information.
3, even if the claim were true, that would not explain why a 37 year old "man" disappears from the campaign trail for 12 straight days in the closing hours of the campaign to make photo collages and put together his own look books.
4, another reporter says it's not true, and no one has seen anyone at Talarico's home since the disappearance:

Well, this is entirely unsurprising, based on the absolute insanity that seems to be the status quo in Portland! Of course it is an amusing but unimportant statistic unless compared to something else, like for instance the percentage of people who identify as "transgender," or Democrat, or progressive! I'll bet that correlation is damned strong!
Oregon adults have the highest rate of mental illness in the US at 31.6%
The ten states, including the District of Columbia, that had the highest rate of mental illness in 2023 to 2024 included: Oregon (31.6 percent), Vermont (29.1 percent), Washington, DC (29 percent), West Virginia (28.1 percent), Washington state (27.9 percent), New Hampshire (27.7 percent), Tennessee (27 percent), Maine (26.7 percent), Utah (26.7 percent), and Arkansas (26.6 percent).
Show me the comparison between voting tendencies, self-proclaimed "gender," and mental illness! But... I think we all have a pretty good idea what that will tell us. Blue cities are far crazier than red rural areas. That's a guess, but I'll wager I am correct.

The Morning Report — 10/13 /26
—J.J. Sefton
The most likely scenario, multiple people claimed, is that immigration cops are looking into a long-floated rumor that Omar is actually one year older than she has long claimed to be — a tiny detail that may put her citizenship in jeopardy. “The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there’s probable cause that a federal crime was committed, and there would be evidence of that crime in the area to be searched, which in this case was Representative Omar’s home,” former assistant US attorney Jonathan Fahey told The Post. Officials from DHS raided the controversial Minnesota congresswoman‘s Washington, DC, home early Monday morning, removing boxes from the residence. . . “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation.” the statement concluded.The Post also saw agents carrying boxes out of the residence to government vehicles, one of which was white and marked with a pink X. A defiant Omar took to social media following the raid to announce “I will not be silenced” and called the action “an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.”
But Fahey said it’s not easy for feds to get a DC judge to sign off on a search warrant, especially since DC judges tend to be hostile to the current administration’s whims. . .
“For a DC judge to sign off on something that’s 20 years old, you have to say you believe there is current evidence of the crime in her house,” he said. “A judge must have been very convinced.” While feds have kept a tight lip on what they’re expecting to find at the Omar residence, one source who requested anonymity given the politically charged nature of the investigation, suggested it might relate to longstanding, unverified claims that Omar misrepresented her age to get citizenship.
Omar claims she received automatic US citizenship in 2000 at age 17, granted to minor-age children of naturalized parents — in this case her father, Nur Said Mohamed Elmi, who fled to the US in 1995 from war-torn Somalia. . .
. . . The raid, which began hours before dawn, came just weeks after Border Czar Tom Homan revealed that Omar was under an ongoing “criminal” investigation and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated on a podcast “something’s going to happen” as investigators look into Omar’s broader family migration story.
“Generally a search warrant is occurring towards the end of an investigation because you’re building up evidence that led to this search warrant,” said Fahey. “To get to the point of searching a home, you’ve developed a case for a fairly decent period of time.”
Controversy has long surrounded Omar’s marriage to her second husband, Ahmed Elmi, a flamboyant, self-described “dirty dandy” rumored to be her brother and currently writing a thesis about “queerphobia in Kenya” at Bristol University in the UK.
Multiple sources agreed that DHS isn’t looking into that marriage. For one, the statue of limitations for marriage fraud ran out five years after the couple divorced in 2017.
Here are just a few of her highlights/lowlights courtesy of DiscoverTheNetworks.org
Born in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1982 * Daughter of a Communist father who entered the U.S. illegally * Joined the Muslim Students Association in college * Married her own brother to perpetrate immigration fraud and/or student loan fraud while married to another man * Was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in November 2016 * Was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 * Member of the Congressional Black Caucus & the Congressional Progressive Caucus * Views America as a nation infested with white racism * Supports the “Defund-the-Police” movement * Detests Israel, Jews, and white males * Was involved in ballot-harvesting and ballot-tampering schemes in 2020 * Favors amnesty & a path-to-citizenship for illegal aliens * Was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023
A real charmer this one, eh?! Read the full dossier and you'll be projectile vomiting for hours. So, she engaged in incest with her brother and married him. Beyond immigration fraud and gaining citizenship under utterly false pretenses, being perhaps the most preeminent member of the Minnesota Somali immigrant community and an elected national politician, she has got to be up to her eyeballs in the multi-billion dollar fraud schemes that looted the national and Minnesota state treasuries to enrich dozens of her fellow Somalis but no doubt flowed back to Islamic terrorists in Somalia and the rest of the horn of Africa if not elsewhere, to fuel the genocide against Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims there and elsewhere.
If there really is any justice in this world, this hideous criminal skank and her entire brood will be removed from our midst. Of course, Minnesota and primarily the Twin Cities being the blue shitholes they are, her replacement will be an Omar replicant, if not in ethnicity and background, then in political beliefs. What the hell happened to my country?!
All of that said, sadly, the odds of her facing any real consequences given the nature of our judicial system and its total capture by Leftists, are slim to none, likely none. Just as a refresher, this little recap is from last December but billions are still missing.
A staggering $9 billion may have been stolen in Minnesota’s sprawling social-services scam orchestrated mainly by members of its Somali community — a figure nearly equivalent to the entire economy of Somalia. The enormous new estimate is a nearly nine-fold increase from the swiped $1 billion previously suspected, according to federal prosecutors. It also accounts for roughly half of the $18 billion in total federal funds provided to the Minnesota-run services since 2018, the feds said — as Democratic Gov. Tim Walz continues to take heat for his handling of the debacle. By comparison to the $9 billion figure, Somalia’s entire GDP was under $12 billion last year, according to the World Bank. “Every day, we look under a rock and find a new $50 million fraud scheme.”The scheme saw dozens of people — the vast majority from Minnesota’s Somali community — setting up businesses and non-profits that claimed to provide services such as housing, food or healthcare assistance and then billing the federally funded state programs for the non-existent services.
The fraud was so enormous that it went beyond the over-billing tactics typically seen in similar fraud cases and instead saw people setting up entire operations — sometimes coming from out of state — to get in on the goldrush of fraud opportunity, Thompson explained.
Charges for six more people allegedly involved in the scheme were announced Thursday, bringing the total number of defendants up to 92. Among the latest defendants were two people who engaged in what Thompson called “fraud tourism” by allegedly travelling from Philadelphia to set up a bogus housing aid program after spotting an opportunity to make “easy money” off Minnesota’s programs. . . Much of the funds were sent overseas or else were spent on luxury cars and other lavish items. So far, 57 people have been convicted. The scheme prompted a White House crackdown on immigration in Minnesota, with President Trump calling Somalis “garbage” and Walz “retarded” in November for the scheme that unfolded largely under his watch.
Nearly a year later and the President's assessment is still dead on the money. If only the grifters were dead and the money recovered. Oh well.
New York authorities have refused more than 16,000 federal immigration detainer requests involving illegal immigrants accused or convicted of crimes, including homicide, kidnapping and sexual offenses, according to newly released Department of Homeland Security data.The figures, reported Monday by the New York Post, show that municipalities across the Democrat-led state have declined to honor 16,070 Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025.
According to DHS, the individuals associated with those requests have accumulated 52,503 criminal charges or convictions, including 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings and 1,017 sexual offenses.
The figures have renewed scrutiny of New York’s sanctuary policies, which restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
ICE detainers request that local authorities temporarily hold individuals suspected of immigration violations so federal agents can take them into custody. Sanctuary jurisdictions frequently decline those requests unless specific legal conditions are met.
While we're on the subject of racism:
The CROWN Act was one of the many ridiculous spinoffs of the BLM era. Around half of the states in the country have since passed a “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair” (CROWN Act) protecting black people from supposed discrimination over their hairstyles. But in another example of the law of unintended consequences, the CROWN Act may be about to get a real workout from a white woman who was fired for wearing a black hairstyle.In September, the Baltimore Rock Opera Society announced that it was hiring Kelly Carnes as its executive director, citing her 21 years of experience and her work with the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center. In the publicity photo, Carnes appeared to have some sort of Cruella de Vil hairstyle in which one side of her hair is black and the other is white, possibly foreshadowing the racial hair drama soon to get her fired and become a national news story.
This comes on the heels of a story we had last week:
The BBC is catching heat for an article claiming that the trend of leaving fingernails unpainted is a racist way of pushing “white supremacist standards of beauty.” The national broadcaster interviewed Paloma Buddemeier, a London nail salon owner, who shared that more and more customers are asking to skip the nail polish after their manicures, a fashion trend synonymous with “quiet luxury.” ...Bare nails, Rodulfo bafflingly claimed, “really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities.”
Before you say "Meh, this is England," they caught this disease from us but it ultimately will find its way back across the pond to us.
On all that, there's plenty of other madness and meshugas in today's linkapalooza, and so as you wade through it, I bid you all to nevertheless have a good day.

Some Kind of Weasel Open Thread
—Ace
Massimo @Rainmaker1973Photographer Martin Le-May was walking through a London park with his wife, hoping to show her a green woodpecker for the first time, when he snapped this incredible photo: a weasel riding a flying woodpecker.
It's real. It's not a photo of a commuting weasel, but a weasel attempting and failing to have lunch.
As much as we'd love to say this weasel is embarking on an epic journey atop his very own luck dragon, what Le-May actually witnessed was a failed attempt at lunch. Small and adorable as they may be, weasels are voracious hunters and have been known to chomp down on a wide variety of prey items including moles, squirrels, hares, snakes and birds."The woodpecker landed in front of us and I feared the worst," says Le-May. "I guess our presence, maybe 25 metres away, momentarily distracted the weasel. The woodpecker seized the opportunity and flew up and away into some bushes away to our left. Quickly the bird gathered its self-respect and flew up into the trees and away from our sight. The weasel just disappeared into the long grass, hungry."

DHS Agents Execute a Search Warrant on Ilhan "Omar's" DC Home, Seeking Her Old Immigration Paperwork
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, was raided early Monday morning by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.
Multiple federal agents with HSI jackets were seen outside Omar's Washington, D.C. home in the early hours of Monday.
Two sources close to the investigation say the search stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child.
The raid of the Somali-born congresswoman's home started around 6 a.m. with HSI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leading the operation. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also involved in the investigation.
"Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The DOJ later added that the investigation was "criminal" in nature.
...
HSI is the principal investigative arm of DHS. Its scope includes investigating cross-border crime and global threats, including human trafficking and child sexual exploitation, drug smuggling and cybercrime. HSI plays a major front-line role in America's counterterrorism operations.
...
During her tenure in Congress, she has been plagued by allegations that she married her brother in 2009 in an alleged immigration fraud scheme.
A federal prosecutor recently told Fox News Digital that the statute of limitations could hinder an investigation into that matter.

THE MORNING RANT: From Peter Clack - “A society dismantled simultaneously by energy delusion and the abandonment of its sovereign borders”
—Buck Throckmorton
Amidst all the daily political battles, as well as the internecine arguments among the right, it’s sometimes important to remember just who the left is, what their agenda is, what they have wrought, and how important it is to politically defeat the left.
Peter Clack wrote an excellent short essay on Twitter a few days ago, cutting right to the core of the need to save western civilization. He focuses on the hollowing out of industry, the green energy delusion, and the erasure of national sovereignty. The full essay is below, but his concluding sentence is worth singling out: ”A society that abandons its industrial base and surrenders its borders eventually surrenders its future.”
The one thing I’d add is that the abandonment of Christianity in the West was supposed to bring about a secular enlightenment. Instead, a new apocalyptic religion rose to fill the void – one with an angry climate God imposing bizarre woke sacraments, including the sterilization and mutilation of children. Islam also raced across open borders to provide a replacement religion.
Here is Mr. Clack’s excellent essay:
The economic hollow-out of the West was only stage one of globalism’s experiment.What is unfolding now is the broader collapse of Western institutional confidence—a society dismantled simultaneously by energy delusion and the abandonment of its sovereign borders.
The push for a wind and solar transition was sold as a technological leap forward. In reality, it ignores the fundamental laws of energy density. Weather-dependent generation can produce electricity for household lighting, but it cannot deliver the continuous, ultra-high thermal energy required for heavy industry, blast furnace steel production, chemical manufacturing, ocean freight or commercial aviation.
By handicapping its own domestic energy grid with high-cost, intermittent generation, the West did not eliminate fossil fuels—it simply outsourced its industrial emissions and heavy manufacturing to Asia.
The irony is stark: to build a green grid, the West must import energy-intensive components manufactured overseas using coal-fired power, creating a new, highly destructive industrial footprint while crippling domestic energy security.
Compounding this industrial retreat is a complete paralysis regarding border integrity and social cohesion. Western political elites, transfixed by the doctrines of multiculturalism, have allowed uncontrolled and unvetted migrant flows to overwhelm public infrastructure, dilute civic identity and erode the rule of law. They are becoming dangerous crime states.
What should be a basic duty of the nation-state—protecting its sovereign borders—has been abandoned in favor of fawning globalist posturing.
When you dismantle domestic industry, enforce artificially expensive energy, and dissolve national borders, you do not create a globalist utopia. You destroy real capital.
Without capital and productive sovereign industry, the fundamental pillars of Western life will (and are) falling apart. The reward for hard work disappears, upward mobility stalls, and the purpose of a long-term career is replaced by managing decline.
A society that abandons its industrial base and surrenders its borders eventually surrenders its future.
In my introductory paragraphs up top, I mentioned “internecine arguments” on the right. It’s important to remember that a great many faux-conservatives are fully on board with the agenda that Mr. Clack decries. The GOPe and the legacy conservative media embraced and still defend the hollowing out of American industry. They rejoice when American plants close and Americans lose their jobs. They have fought for open borders and for the importation of slave-adjacent labor. They have played footsie with the climate hoax by accepting the false pretext of global warming, and by engaging in “venture communism” via the redistribution of taxpayer money to “green” startups.
