Good morning kids. Quite a few things of note to report on this morning, but there are a number of glittering examples of Dem/Leftist chutzpocrisy colliding as they inevitably do with projection that are worthy of note, though so glaring as to be visible even from the surface of a supernova lightyears away.
First of all, did this dolt not read the memo that Jihad is not a violent act of terrorism but a beautiful expression of internal struggle and reflection by the mostly peaceful peaceniks of Islam? Oh boy, I smell a big fat fatwa for this fathead if she doesn't recant that statement lickety-split. That said, who are the ones burning cities to the ground, shooting up churches, and synagogues, attempting to and in the case of poor Charlie Kirk succeeding in assassinating political enemies as well as CEOs. It ain't MAGAns, Fatso. In any case, as commenter MP4 once quipped, If Trump, and by extension all of us were a fraction of the evil, Hitlerite fascists they claim we are, they'd all have been smoke up a crematorium chimney ages ago.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: “I Have Inherited a White-Supremacist System” . . . The city’s mayor headlined a conference where activists celebrated armed resistance in Gaza, the Philippines, and the United States.
First, what exactly is being resisted?! The rule of law and sanity. I'd venture to say that Al Capone, at the height of his reign as Public enemy number 1, even with a syphilis-ravaged brain, lorded over a Chicago that compared to today was an idyllic paradise on earth. And how could Johnson possibly have inherited a white supremacist system that exists to suppress colored people of color like him? The closest you'd ever get to a seat of white power is as a toilet attendant at Sheldon (whorehouse) Whitehouse's Whites Only Country Club . . . Unless of course Mr. Johnson you are merely acting as a house you-know-what willingly working as a warder to keep your fellow black and brown folk down! You should be strapped onto a gurney and have JB Pritzker part his cheeks like the Red Sea, and sit on your face after consuming several giant tins of baked beans. There's your white supremacy, pal.
The reactions to President Trump authorizing Secretary of War (how I love that) Pete Hegseth to take out the narco-terrorists boats before they can reach our shores with their lethal cargo have been most revealing indeed. Those shouting loudest about the poor innocent drug traffickers are the Democrat Leftists. While the term the War on Drugs which came into the public discourse during the middle years of Ronald Reagan's presidency due to the scourge of crack cocaine that ended thousands of lives and wasted many thousand more in the ensuing years, became the target of much cynicism and ridicule. The bitter irony is that in the main those thousands of wasted lives were black, latino and other primarily Democrat constituencies. That said, considering the toxicity of fentanyl, interdicting its flow into our nation is a justified act of self defense. COnsidering that state actors from Venezuela's Maduro and all the way out to Red China's Xi Jinping are involved in the poisoning of the American citizenry, the word War in this instance does have certain implications and in theory consequences.
The latest atrocity that Trump has committed, as far as the left is concerned, is targeting narcoterrorists’ boats in the Caribbean. After all, who will speak for the poor drug traffickers if they don’t? . . . Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Mutiny) and the other members of the Seditious Six are leading this effort, but one of the chief defenders of the poor drug mules has been the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), who is not one of the notorious Six. Warner seems to be trying to make this issue his claim to fame; up to now, he has only been known as the senator from Virginia named Warner who wasn’t married to Elizabeth Taylor. Warner, however, may now have crossed a line he could regret crossing: in a video that began circulating Wednesday, he appears to be calling for a military coup against a duly elected president of the United States. . .
“this is an administration that’s fired, you know, uniformed generals from the head of the NSA, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and I think, um, uh, in many ways, the uniformed military may help save us from this president and his lame people like Hegseth, because I think their commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump, and I expect Bradley would adhere to that.” Warner was referring to Adm. Frank Bradley, whom Hegseth has identified as the authority who made the decision to order a second strike on the drug boat, about which leftists are in an uproar. Far less clear, however, was what Warner meant by his reference to the military saving us from Orange Man Bad. The Constitution says nothing about the military having any role whatsoever in protecting Americans from a supposedly rogue president. . .
Warner, however, seems unconcerned about the prospect of any retaliation from the man he nevertheless wants us to think is a reckless, vindictive dictator-in-the-making. “This is the biggest crowd of wimps you’ve ever seen,” Warner said Tuesday of Trump, Hegseth, and others in the administration. Wimps, you see, but lawless, fascist wimps who must be stopped at all costs.
. . . Warner was apparently asleep from Jan. 20, 2021 to Jan. 20, 2025, as the Biden regime politicized the entire federal bureaucracy and weaponized it against the regime’s foes. Now he is accusing his enemies of what his own side is guilty of doing. His call for a coup is unlikely to be heeded, but as leftists grow more desperate, one never knows for sure.
It is abundantly clear that, regardless of the very real and persistent threat to the peace of he world and the advancement of civilization, posed by Islam, the greatest existential threat to whatever is left of America as founded — which was the pinnacle of social and human societal development — faces comes from within. It is the anti-AMERICAN Left and its political epicenter in the Democrat Party and its affiliates. Period full stop.
Especially when those children are being sexually assaulted, starved or beaten to death. The police must never be called.
Roberts argues that child protective services is a false front that survives only because any real change would threaten the racial capitalist system she believes it protects. “What it’s really protecting is the idea that this nation cares about the safety of children and the the reason why children aren’t safe is because of their pathological parents, they’re deficient parents. Therefore, you know, why, why have that, why believe that? Because then you don’t need radical social change.” Roberts says.
Same argument as with murderers, rapists and muggers. It’s not their fault. They’re victims of systemic racism. Stop policing them and then surely you’ll have lots of ‘equity.’
Now you can see why Luigi Mangione, Abrego Garcia, the Islamic Gazan Jewish baby roasters and the Narco-terrorists have cheerleaders...

Musk’s outlook aligns with recent comments from Trump himself. During a White House cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump remarked that two members of his administration could form the 2028 Republican presidential ticket, glancing at Vice President JD Vance as he noted, “Could be a couple of people sitting at this table.” He added that he wanted their work “to be carried forward.” The comments followed his October 27 statement to reporters, made during a flight from Malaysia to Japan, in which he deemed a Vance-Rubio “unstoppable.” Musk Maps Out MAGA’s Next 12 Years: Trump’s Return, Vance’s Rise

It does increasingly appear however that the April 2025 prediction is now correct, that the solar maximum has passed, and that Sun is now heading towards a sunspot minimum. The question now is whether that minimum will occur in 2031, as predicted, making for a solar cycle with a normal length of eleven years, or will it happen sooner. If sooner, which is what appears to be happening, this cycle will be unusual in that it will be short but weak. In the past, short cycles were routinely associated with strong cycles.

A Methodist pastor in upstate New York turned a Sunday church service into a personal announcement ceremony, telling stunned worshippers that the 51-year-old spiritual leader is now transitioning and no longer identifies as male. Rev. Phillip Phaneuf of North Chili United Methodist Church in Rochester delivered the news while draped in a rainbow stole, declaring, "I get to announce with joy that I'm transitioning," and later adding, "I'm not becoming a woman, I'm giving up pretending to be a man."
The pastor also told congregants that a new identity--"Phillippa," with she/her pronouns--will now be used, and that hormone treatments have already been underway for three months.
Phaneuf went even further, announcing a shift to asexuality and telling the church that romance has never been a focus: "I'm in the category of what they call asexual... I am not living my life in a way that involves looking for romance." The message, delivered from the pulpit, was treated as a moment of celebration inside a denomination that has recently rewritten its doctrine to align itself with progressive gender ideology. The United Methodist Church reversed its previous teachings last year and now describes sexuality as a "sacred gift" for all "regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity."
Phaneuf told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that the congregation has been "overwhelmingly affirming," and noted that the bishop was consulted beforehand and offered full institutional support. Any questions about pastoral duties were brushed aside with assurances that nothing will change spiritually--aside from the pastor's name, voice, appearance, and presentation as the hormone regimen continues.
Well, and every homily will be about his Gender Journey, of course.
His victim refused to address him by his suddenly-minted "she/her" pronouns.
The especially-fake transgender -- this is one of those get-caught-raping-a-child, suddenly-discover-you're-a-gal "transitions" -- claims to be the Real Victim Here and says the jury was "hypnotized" into believing he's some kind of rapist.
A trans woman named Natalie Wolf was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl by a UK court yesterday. Wolf was a man named Ryan Haley at the time of the attack and was addressed as a woman throughout the trial. However, when it was her turn to speak, the victim refused to address Haley as a woman, instead using the name of the man who had attacked her.
The victim, who is now an adult, feared she would be raped by Wolf, during the attack in Sunderland, England, and told the court her "shame and self-doubt" led to her not reporting the abuse, according to the report...
"I know you as Ryan Haley, a man who sexually abused me. There are few things more isolating than living in a body you don't feel safe in. I've carried shame, self-doubt and a sense of disconnection from myself," the victim told Wolf...
"Ryan, you destroyed me as a child, a teenager and an adult. Today you are finally going to face justice. Today, Ryan Haley, you are going to get what you deserve," the statement concluded.
Wolf was convicted of sexual activity with a child and sentenced to three and a half years in a male prison.
Wolf/Haley represented himself accused the victim of lying and the jury of being hypnotized. The judge made a point of saying Haley had shown no remorse and seemed to be under the delusion that he was the victim in this case.

This is in the shithole country the UK, so maybe there is some hope yet.
Of Course: Biden Created a Special Exemption So That "Low-Level" Taliban Officials Could Migrate to the US
—Ace
Yeah they're Taliban -- members of the radical cult that sheltered bin Ladin and floods the world with heroin -- but they're "low-level" "civil servants" so I'm sure they're cool.
BTW, why would Taliban civil servants have to flee the Taliban?
It's almost as if the Democrats just want to fill the US with foreign terrorists because they believe we should all be equal in poverty, misery, murder and terror.
Biden administration created exemption for many low-level Taliban 'civil servants' to come to U.S.
Amidst renewed scrutiny about the poor vetting of Afghan refugees in the wake of the debacle in August 2021, a review of a little-known Biden Administration policy allowing former Taliban government workers to come to the United States is taking center stage.
By Jerry Dunleavy
The Biden Administration implemented a terrorism exemption for Afghan refugees allowing hundreds of low-level "civil servants" from the Taliban government to resettle in the United States in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from the country.
The Biden-led Department of Homeland Security and State Department announced in June 2022 that it had put together new exemptions for purportedly vetted applicants who would otherwise be blocked from the United States -- including some former Taliban government workers. The policy allowed hundreds of Afghans to come to the U.S. when they would have previously likely been barred due to terrorism-related inadmissibility grounds (TRIG). This reportedly allowed hundreds of former Taliban government workers to come to the U.S.
The exemptions were for Afghans who had worked as "civil servants" under the Taliban (both before 9/11 and after August 2021), as well as for Afghans who "supported U.S. military interests" such as participation in resistance movements against the Taliban or the Soviet Army and for Afghans "who provided only certain limited material support to the Taliban or other designated terrorist organizations."
The Biden administration agencies said that the "new exemptions may apply" to "individuals employed as civil servants in Afghanistan at any time from September 27, 1996 to December 22, 2001 or after August 15, 2021." These time periods covered both the Taliban's first stint ruling Afghanistan -- when they protected al-Qaeda before and after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and were subsequently overthrown following a U.S. invasion -- and the Taliban's current rule of the country in the wake of the disastrous and chaotic U.S. evacuation in August 2021.
...
The agencies said the exemptions did not include Afghans "who held high-level positions, worked for certain ministries, or directly assisted violent Taliban activities or activities in which the individual's civil service was motivated by an allegiance to the Taliban" nor Afghan individuals "who share the goals or ideology of the Taliban, provided preferential treatment to them, or who intended to support the Taliban through their activities."
The State Department and DHS under the Trump administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they would maintain this TRIG exemption for former Taliban government workers.
"President Trump's State Department has paused visa issuance for ALL individuals traveling on Afghan passports," Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on X on Friday. "The United States has no higher priority than protecting our nation and our people."
A reminder that the empirical evidence shows lockdowns failed to protect life and caused tremendous catastrophic harm. Let's hope the NYT never again has a say in public health policy. https://t.co/xp1EnZVKAW
You're not allowed to use harsh language when describing the thug who beat the shit out of you, you see.
In the UK, a woman who was hospitalized after being brutally assaulted by a man faced legal consequences when she vented to a friend, calling her attacker a "faggot."
Police were notified, she was investigated for a non-crime hate incident (later escalated), charged with malicious communications, and ultimately convicted of committing a homophobic hate crime.
The victim of physical violence ended up with a criminal record for using an offensive slur about her own assailant in a private conversation.
Britain has absolutely lost the plot.
You can be imprisoned for five to ten years for calling the man who brutalized you a "faggot."
Meanwhile, I'm sure, he didn't spend a day in jail.

An IT consultant was arrested by police in Britain after he posted a picture online of himself posing with a gun in the US.
Jon Richelieu-Booth said he was shocked by the "Orwellian" decision by West Yorkshire Police (WYP) to prosecute him over the social media post.
The 50-year-old said that on Aug 13 he had posted a picture of himself on LinkedIn holding a shotgun while on a private homestead with friends during a holiday in Florida.
Mr Richelieu-Booth claims the LinkedIn message contained nothing he considered threatening, with the picture attached to a lengthy post about his day and work activities.
However, he said that a police officer later visited his home to warn him that concerns had been raised about the post.
"I was told to be careful what I say online and I need to understand how it makes people feel," he said.
Mr Richelieu-Booth said he offered to provide officers with proof that the picture of the firearm had been taken while he was in the US but the officers said that was not necessary.
Mr Richelieu-Booth said two officers then returned to his home shortly after 10pm on Aug 24 and arrested him.
A bail document seen by The Telegraph refers to an allegation of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and a further allegation of stalking related to a photograph of a house that appeared on his social media.
He said he was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed.
Mr Richelieu-Booth said he was initially released on bail until late October.
He alleges that police officers then visited his property on three further occasions before he was re-arrested in October for allegedly breaching his bail conditions.
However, that charge was later dropped.
Meanwhile, an Islamist who photographed himself brandishing an AK-47 to intimidate everyone faced no punishment and didn't even lose his political post.
I don't know why we treat this shithole country as an ally. They're an enemy country, period. I'm now cheering the Islamic conquest of Britain. They deserve to be conquered.
Can't wait for a left-wing rogue judge to be "randomly" assigned to the lawsuit and immediately grant an injunction.
States that refuse to open their books on food-stamp spending are about to feel real pressure from Washington. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told the Trump cabinet Tuesday that the USDA will cut off federal SNAP funds to any state that keeps hiding its data -- a direct response to what she called a mountain of fraud sitting inside a program used by 42 million Americans.
Rollins said the problem came into full view earlier this year, when the USDA asked every governor to hand over their SNAP data so federal investigators could finally track where the money was going. Only 29 states -- almost all Republican-led -- cooperated. The others, including California, New York, and Minnesota, refused outright. Rollins said that refusal has consequences. Starting next week, she announced, "the money stops moving" until those states comply.
Rollins said the partial dataset already reviewed shows the program is bleeding taxpayer dollars on an astonishing scale. She pointed to 186,000 dead Americans still receiving benefits -- and that's just from the states that turned over their records. She told Newsmax the deeper the USDA digs, the more outrageous the findings become: EBT cards with balances over $10,000, cards untouched for years, and some issued to people who never existed.
With just the information provided by the red states, she's already eliminated a good amount of fraud.
Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson
MAJOR: Over 800,000 people have officially been removed from SNAP, confirmed by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins.
She highlights that the fraud is off the charts:
- 500,000 people receiving benefits twice.
- 186,000 dead people receiving benefits
- People receiving benefits in SIX different states
This is an incredible start. Keep removing more. No more robbing the American taxpayer.
"800,000 of those 42 million have moved off of food stamps, which is hopefully the plan with better jobs, higher wages."
"We found 186,000 dead people or dead people's Social Security numbers being used, 500,000 people receiving benefits more than twice, we had a couple of people receiving benefits in six states."
We're living in a socialist country, with people paid a fortune for doing nothing. By allowing fraud at an industrial scale, they've backdoored socialism into law without a single vote in Congress.

US gas prices fell below $3 on Tuesday for the first time since May 2021, according to AAA.
The national average price for regular gas dropped to $2.998 a gallon, down from $3.001 the previous day, according to the fuel price tracker.
It was also down from $3.036 a month ago and $3.05 this time last year.
Low prices at the pump come as Americans have been beaten down by sticky inflation and a weak labor market.
A survey from the Conference Board last week found consumer confidence plunged to 88.7 in November -- down from 95.5 in October. That's the lowest level since April.
...
Recent weeks have seen President Trump tout his affordability agenda as Americans shell out more on everything from a cup of joe to plush sofas and kids' toys.
But on Tuesday, the average price of gas dipped below $2.75 a gallon in 18 states including New Mexico, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado, according to AAA.
Gas prices dropped alongside oil costs as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, ramped up its production of oil -- keeping supply higher than demand and sending a barrel of crude down to just $59 as of Tuesday.
You may wonder where I got the "under $2/gallon" fact. That's from local news reports compiled in a Black Conservative Perspective video, linked below. That video also features leftists coping and seething and denying that gas prices have come down, even as they drop to $2 or less.
Axios perhaps just inadvertently committed one of the most based forms of narrative-wrecking journalism ever to hit the leftist media ecosphere by admitting the Trump economy is a lot better than what the propaganda suggests.
Axios economics reporter Courtenay Brown and Chief Economics Correspondent Neil Irwin -- the latter of which forecasted economic doom since President Donald Trump first took office -- released a shocking Thanksgiving Eve story declaring that "the biggest-picture indicators point to this being one of the better economies of modern times."
Talk about a seismic concession for an outlet that had been routinely denigrating Trump's agenda from the get-go. As Brown and Irwin wrote, "There have been plenty of ominous warnings this year about the job market, trade war-fueled inflation, asset bubbles, and more. The mighty U.S. economy has chugged ahead in 2025 despite them all." In fact, "through 11 months of 2025, the overall trajectory is pretty darn solid." Well, dang!
But of course, the authors tried to throw President Joe Biden a line by tracing some of the markers as far back as his administration, which makes sense given that Irwin was a notorious Bidenomics simp. Brown and Irwin pointed to a bevy of economic indicators such as unemployment remaining under 4.5 percent for 47 consecutive months, glossing over the fact that during Biden's term, millions were still missing from the labor force. But now, as EJ Antoni pointed out based on the recent September jobs numbers, "Net job growth in Sep was from full-time hiring and replacing part-time work w/ those full-time jobs; this is a welcomed improvement after the weakness earlier in the year."
Below: Amy Klobuchar tried to dunk on Trump by posting the below chart.
1, she was so stupid she didn't realize that the chart showed that electricity prices skyrocketed under Biden. Trump's ten months in office (for term 2) come right at the end of the chart.
2, the chart doesn't even show electricity prices. It shows how much people owe for past electricity bills. This means it's even more reflective of Biden's inflation than we thought, because people who owed money for past energy bills accrued under Biden's regime will still owe much/most of that money.
Under President Trump, electricity prices are surging — up 11%! — leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high.
Incredible: Up to Forty Percent of the Students at Supposedly-Elite Universities Claim to Be, and Are Acknowledged by the School to be, "Disabled"
—Ace
As you know, people who claim to be disabled get all sorts of privileges, like taking standardized tests -- to the extent they're even required any longer -- without any time limit.
But once at college, you can also use your "disability" to take all exams untimed, too.
Also, since white people are discriminated against unconstitutionally, it is even more useful to be able to claim you're a minority too, by faking a "disability." (Or, of course, by claiming to be some type of sexual minority, like "queer," which no longer means just homosexual but can mean being an "ally" of homosexuals.)
These factors plus universities now being clownshows that eat nonsense and shit failure have resulted in Stanford, supposedly an "elite" university accepting only the highest-performing students, having a student body that is 30% "disabled," almost always with some soft mental "disability" like "nuerdivergence." Things that cannot be easily disproved, in other words.
Serek Thompson
@DKThomp
This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics.
- At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled
- At Amherst: more than 30 percent
- At Stanford: nearly 40 percent
Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago."
As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability--extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc -- the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded.
America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.
America's colleges have an extra-time-on-tests problem.
Administering an exam used to be straightforward: All a college professor needed was an open room and a stack of blue books. At many American universities, this is no longer true. Professors now struggle to accommodate the many students with an official disability designation, which may entitle them to extra time, a distraction-free environment, or the use of otherwise-prohibited technology.
Like cell phones you can look up the answers on.
The University of Michigan has two centers where students with disabilities can take exams, but they frequently fill to capacity, leaving professors scrambling to find more desks and proctors. Juan Collar, a physicist at the University of Chicago, told me that so many students now take their exams in the school's low-distraction testing outposts that they have become more distracting than the main classrooms.
Accommodations in higher education were supposed to help disabled Americans enjoy the same opportunities as everyone else. No one should be kept from taking a class, for example, because they are physically unable to enter the building where it's taught. Over the past decade and a half, however, the share of students at selective universities who qualify for accommodations--often, extra time on tests--has grown at a breathtaking pace. At the University of Chicago, the number has more than tripled over the past eight years; at UC Berkeley, it has nearly quintupled over the past 15 years.
The increase is driven by more young people getting diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and by universities making the process of getting accommodations easier. The change has occurred disproportionately at the most prestigious and expensive institutions. At Brown and Harvard, more than 20 percent of undergraduates are registered as disabled. At Amherst, that figure is 34 percent. Not all of those students receive accommodations, but researchers told me that most do. The schools that enroll the most academically successful students, in other words, also have the largest share of students with a disability that could prevent them from succeeding academically.
"You hear 'students with disabilities' and it's not kids in wheelchairs," one professor at a selective university, who requested anonymity because he doesn't have tenure, told me. "It's just not. It's rich kids getting extra time on tests." Even as poor students with disabilities still struggle to get necessary provisions, elite universities have entered an age of accommodation. Instead of leveling the playing field, the system has put the entire idea of fairness at risk.
We can't just blame the universities.
Left-wing Congressmen are also to blame.
...
Change was slow at first, in part because Supreme Court rulings narrowed the scope of the law. Professors I spoke with told me that, even in the early 2000s, they taught only a handful of students with disabilities. Then, in 2008, Congress amended the ADA to restore the law's original intent. The government broadened the definition of disability, effectively expanding the number of people the law covered. It also included a list of major life activities that could be disrupted by a disability ("learning, reading, concentrating, thinking," among others) and clarified that individuals were protected under the ADA even if their impairment didn't severely restrict their daily life.
In response to the 2008 amendments, the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD), an organization of disability-services staff, released guidance urging universities to give greater weight to students' own accounts of how their disability affected them, rather than relying solely on a medical diagnosis. "Requiring extensive medical and scientific evidence perpetuates a deviance model of disability, undervalues the individual's history and experience with disability and is inappropriate and burdensome under the revised statute and regulations," AHEAD wrote.
So these dirtbag fraudsters are just self-reporting "I'm neurodivergent, I have ADHD" with no medical diagnosis at all and Congress says that we must treat this self-diagnosis as real.
Coincidentally, I just happened to watch this interesting video about people -- mostly women -- self-diagnosing themselves with a novel and quite fake new syndrome called "AuDHD," which is, supposedly, autism plus ADHD.
Autism, which involves fixating on something and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else, plus the inability to focus on something.
This woman, who I guess is a psychologist or psychiatrist, says that this fake diagnosis is gaining traction because psychiatrists just can't say "no" to patients. If some moron comes in claiming they are both hyper-focused and yet cannot focus, the psychiatrist just says "Yes."
Why are psychiatrists board certified if any asshole off the street can self-diagnose?
This woman points out that one of the women claiming to have this nonsensical diagnosis is clearly not autistic, as, for example, she admits she craves attention and validation -- something autistics usually don't care about -- and deploys strategies like "mirroring" and "love-bombing" to manipulate men into falling in love with her.
As she says: Autistics wish they could deploy the tactic of personality-mirroring to make people fall in love with them. But actual autistics cannot even understand other people's specific personalities, nevermind being able to "mirror" them, that is, act just like them so that the other person sees you as a kindred spirit.
If autistics could just "act like other people" then, get this, they would not be autistic.
But just as with the trans fad, young women are determined to diagnose themselves with some "hot" new mental illness, and just like with the trans fad, alleged medical professionals are too afraid to tell them that they're full of shit and need to grow the hell up.
The Democrats are hysterical and frantic and absolutely energized to kill us at the polls -- and maybe in real life too.
And too many Republicans, and especially too many Trump supporters, are content with the 2024 win and don't really care about the Democrats winning Congress back and impeaching Trump in the first month of 2026.
Republicans won Tuesday's special election in Tennessee. But instead of celebrating, many are dreading what it means about the midterms.
Republican Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps' roughly nine point win marks a massive shift toward Democrats from 2024, when President Donald Trump carried the district by 22 points. That double digit swing -- on the heels of crushing losses in off-year elections in November -- could be a harbinger of what House Republicans will face in the midterms next year, members and strategists warned, as they seek to hold on to their narrow control of the chamber.
"Tonight is a sign that 2026 is going to be a bitch of an election cycle," said one House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly. "Republicans can survive if we play team and the Trump administration officials play smart. Neither is certain."
Democrat Aftyn Behn's overperformance in the Tennessee special election -- which attracted millions of dollars in spending and national attention in its final days -- continues a trend of concerning electoral results for the GOP. Earlier this year, Democrats saw big overperformances in losses in other special elections in deep-red seats, and last month they swept a slate of critical off-year elections, including gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.
In the wake of those victories, some Republicans urged the White House to retool its political message to better engage moderate voters and independents who broke for Trump in the presidential election.
"I'm glad we won. But the GOP should not ignore the Virginia, New Jersey and Tennessee elections," Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who is retiring from his swingy Omaha-based district, said. "We must reach swing voters. America wants some normalcy."
Gerrymandering is becoming a very tricky thing for us. When you gerrymander to increase the number of seats you could win, you necessarily increase the number of seats you can lose. There's no way around that. Gerrymandering for numbers involves drawing districts which have scant majorities of your voters. You spread your voters around so that you can win with thin margins in as many districts as possible.
But doing this means that in a bad year, you lose many of those districts you've drawn to have thin margins. Your deliberately-thin margin of victory turns into a loss.
Does that mean we shouldn't redistrict? No, because control of the House is a very binary thing. It kind of doesn't matter if you lose the House by ten seats or thirty seats. Either way, you have lost the power to bring bills in for a vote, or block them from a vote, and of course Democrats are intensely partisan hive-mind bug people who will all vote in lockstep so even a majority of two seats for the Democrats is a guaranteed majority in every important vote. There are effectively no more swing districts or moderate Congressmen... except on the GOP side.
But given our performance so far, I think it's now guaranteed that we will lose the House by thirty seats, unless something changes bigly, and I don't know what that could be.
Trump has attracted new voters, yes, but these voters... don't really vote.
Meanwhile, a new poll released by the Democrats shows that Ken Paxton is leading shameless RINO traitor John Cornyn.

• PPP for Senate Majority PAC (Dem)
• 12/1-2 | 527 LV
Why did the Democrats release this poll? PPP is a bad polling outfit that pumps out crap polls, so we shouldn't put much stock in this poll either way; but why are the Democrats releasing it? Presumably they want to make trouble and influence the primary vote, but influence it how?
Are they trying to gin up support for Cornyn, the liberal? Or are they trying to depress his voters in the belief that Ken Paxton, the actual conservative, would be easier for Jasmine Ratchet to defeat in the general election?
I don't know. Neither seem like very compelling ops to me.
Cornyn has led several recent polls; his campaign adviser Matt Mackowiak said the incumbent senator will win and that "Democrats are desperate to run against fatally flawed homewrecker Ken Paxton and cost the GOP a critically valuable Senate seat and as much as $200M in the general election."
Lauren French, a Senate Majority PAC spokeswoman, called that response "weak, half-hearted spin."
Some will be mad at me for this but I say it out of love for our country... We won the TN special election by less than we should have.
If you've been to this area, you know it should have been a blowout. And this isn't a knock on Matt Van Epps. He had lower name ID to begin with and did a good job pulling it out. A lesser candidate would have made it a real nail biter.
So why was it close? Many voters are apathetic and have very little enthusiasm on our side. Why? They think our majority in Congress is failing them due to weak leadership, bad priorities & inconsistent messaging.
Before I go further, I don't say this to punch my own side for fun. I don't do that. I say this because I want us to dominate for many years to come. Major time was wasted this year that should have been spent IN SESSION solving problems.
We need to right the ship or voters will sink our ship in 2026. Enthusiasm from 2024 is gone. The blind trust is gone. They want action. The people in Congress need to realize that they aren't Trump and he isn't there to carry them on the ballot in 2026. They need to deliver now. And even then we likely have to run '26 like a Presidential election with Trump going around the country.
I see it on the ground. Voters want to know when promises are going to be kept by Congress. They want a Congress that works as much as they do. They want the agenda they voted for in 2024 passed into law. They want the deep state held accountable. They want transparency. They want full focus on domestic issues instead of foreign issues. They want Congress to improve their lives. They want them to stop trading stocks. And they want to know what the hell Congress is actually doing for them. If our GOP majority doesn't deliver, many of these people won't vote, no matter how much they hate Democrats.
I'm hearing from people who I'd describe as the Trumpiest people I met from 2016-2024 who straight up won't vote in 2026 unless Congress changes to a fighting spirit this year and stacks wins on the board. These people have lost faith and feel like everything is rigged by uniparty puppets for special interests.
Doesn't matter what I tell these people. I can't make most of them vote again. Neither can any other big social media account. Only ACTION from electeds will move them at this point to feel that the incumbents deserve their vote. This is exclusively a right wing problem. The left is enthusiastic just about hating us. That animates their base by itself.
And many of the good things that have happened in Congress this year aren't even reaching the ears or eyeballs of average voters because the messaging is soft and inconsistent. Everyone needs a gut check and to tell the truth NOW to right the ship or they're going to get a much larger gut check in November 2026 when we lose the House majority and go through another stupid impeachment hoax.
Voters feel like they've shown up time and time again for politicians but that politicians aren't showing up for them by running on the same promises every election but then never delivering them. That goes for both sides but the left has enthusiasm simply from their base hating Trump. Our side needs to actually motivate our people to vote.
Congress needs a hard look in the mirror and to get to work on fixing this NOW. Our majority CAN fix this. Now the question of 2026 is this: Will they? I sure hope so because the alternative is dark. It's time to get to work.

For a little while now, there has been a new term that keeps cropping up on the internet. That term, which was apparently popularized by Gad Saad, is "suicidal empathy." I think "pathological empathy" is a bit more accurate, but it's more or less the same thing. The "suicidal empathy" concept is that the desire of some - usually leftists, and usually AWFLs - to be "caring" or "compassionate" has become destructive to themselves and the culture.
Cases of rape victims who refuse to describe their attackers when the attacker is a minority because they don't want to accuse a minority of a crime and "contribute to the problem of racism" or somesuch are often pointed out as micro-level examples of "suicidal empathy," as are cases of the parents of children murdered by illegal aliens publicly emphasizing how much they support unchecked migration and the dissolution of borders. At the macro level, examples are usually things like open borders or elimination of prisons. At some point, the desire to "do good" or be one of the "good people" (and not ever a garbage person like those MAGA people!) becomes so destructive as to be fatal. There is some truth to that, at least among individuals.
Individually, I think "suicidal empathy" or "pathological empathy" are very real phenomena and there are countless people who would happily see the entirety of civilization fall to avoid being seen as unempathetic. These are the idiots who will happily ride the train directly over the cliff, celebrating the entire time. It is a huge problem, but it does not explain much of what we see. What we see from many people in power smacks of "suicidal empathy," but there is an obvious undercurrent of naked corruption beneath it.
The prime example from the recent news cycles is the looting of Minnesota by Somalis and the use of stolen Minnesota taxpayer dollars to finance Somali terrorism abroad. In a recent article that Ace covered, a number of state employees place the blame firmly on Governor Walz. In the article was a segment that I think is illustrative of the power elite manifestation of what could be described as "cynical empathy:"
They allege agency leadership handpicked by Walz "willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet" and filled top posts with political allies who were "not qualified for their jobs." Staffers who witnessed or documented fraud were "shut down, reassigned and told to keep quiet," the statement said.
...
Walz has pushed back on the criticism, telling The New York Times that his administration "erred on the side of generosity" during the pandemic and disputing claims that concerns about racial optics slowed the state's response.
(emphasis mine)
Tienanmen Tim allegedly knew - or at least, people told him repeatedly - that these programs were being looted by Somalis who then used at least some of the money to finance terrorism abroad. He knew, but did nothing about it. The theft was consistent with his worldview and political objectives. Looting the taxpayers to hand money over to preferred minority groups in openly fraudulent schemes was just fine by him. When called on it, he brushed it off as merely "[erring] on the side of generosity." He justified his behavior with an empathy-based argument.
But is this yet another example of "suicidal empathy?" I don't think so. Unlike the useful idiots who vote for people like Walz so as to be "good people," Tienanmen Tim doesn't believe a word of it. He isn't trying to be "generous." He isn't trying to be compassionate. He isn't exhibiting empathy. He is stealing and supporting his allies - who are, by definition, our enemies - by doing harm to the people of Minnesota. The "empathy" is just a cover.
But it may, perhaps, be a distinction without a difference. Whether suicidal empathy or cynical empathy, the outcome would be the same.
Moving on, in yesterday's editorial, I questioned why President Trump from time to time throws all kinds of red meat with the blood still dripping from it out there. In that instance it was his contention that the truly horrid Ilhan "BRO-FO" Omar should be stripped of her citizenship and repatriated back to the gaping bedsore of a nation known as Somalia from whence she oozed. No need to rehash my thoughts on this, as I agree with him on this for sure. (reminder not to comment on old threads to avoid accidental banning) And once again, he threw something out there that definitely caused a reaction, intentional on his part or not:
Somali migrants should go home to fix up their own country, President Donald Trump told his cabinet meeting on Tuesday. “They come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch” about Americans and America, he said, adding: “We don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.”
. . .“I don’t want them in our country,” Trump told his cabinet meeting, adding: Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks … I can say it about other countries too. We got to, we have to rebuild our country … [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [D-MN] is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren’t people that work. These aren’t people that say, “Let’s go, come on, let’s make this place [Somalia] great.” These are people that do nothing but complain.
Again, I cannot disagree with what the President is saying. But the issue he is skirting around is WHY? What is the reason Somalia stinks? ISLAM, and its Dark Age culture of death and subjugation of those who refuse to submit (which is what Islam mans in English FYI) to it. Mr. President, Bro-Fo Omar did not come here to escape Hell, she and her ilk came here to unleash it on us and transform America and everywhere else they emigrate into Hell.
If you want to throw out red meat, well what I just said is an abattoir primed and ready for you to go to town. Could you not see the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center from the top of Trump Tower? Did you not watch in abject horror what happened at the Munich Olympics in 1972, the Marine Barracks in Beirut 11 years later, and on and on and on.
But that said, there are indeed good and decent people who are desperate to escape the hell of places like Somalia. The estimable and noble Ayaan Hirsi Ali to name but one. The issue was and always has been the proper vetting of people who seek American citizenship and once here the monitoring of them to ensure they become assimilated to the fullest extent possible so as whatever cultural proclivities from their societies of origin cannot ever pose any kind of threat to American society.
Good luck with that, considering there is a very large segment of our own native born citizenry that views this nation as founded as racist and illegitimate in the first place and have been feverishly working to destroy it and seize absolute power to remake it into some other nightmarish hellscape of their own liking. The importation of anti-American, anti-Western ideologies and those who mean us harm in the acquisition of absolute power and control was and is a major weapon in the Leftist arsenal.
As for Islam, all you have to do is peruse the links I have aggregated today alone in that section, not to mention every weekday for nine years now. Be that as it may, arguably the greater threat to the American experiment and our society as we approach our 250th birthday are the native born miscreants and power-mad narcissists with delusions of "Ubermenscheit" who continue to rot at the vitals of our nation.
It's one thing to give Bro-Fo the boot, but how do we neutralize the Newsoms, Pelosis, Randi Weingartens, Ibram X. Krements, Al Sharptons, and all the others like them in our midst?
Okay, I'm done.
Have a good day.

The criminal dementia patient Joe Biden will be rewarded for advancing the Sexual Left's radical agenda with some kind of Gay Award.
Former President Biden will receive the Chris Abele Impact Award at the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute's Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, and deliver a rare post-presidency speech.
The award for Biden follows "what LGBTQ+ advocates widely view as the most inclusive administration in U.S. history," as the former president had appointed the most LGBTQ+ officials, restored transgender military service, and reinstated and expanded federal protections, The Advocate reported.
It is "rare" for Biden to give a post-presidential speech for the same reason it was rare for him to appear publicly as president: Because he's demented and dying.

This raises questions about whether the subpoenas served a dual purpose--to investigate Jan. 6, as Smith was appointed to do, and to keep tabs on the oversight probes into agency conduct, one former representative whose phone records were seized by Smith suggested.
"They were trying to spy on us to see what we were doing," former Rep. Louie Gohmert told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "And also, I think they were looking for anything that they could use to come after us, or hold over our heads, because, you know, you can intimidate the people that are coming after you."

Michael Douglas's moron son Dylan got embarrassed by Scott Jennings as he burbled out stupid Democrat talking points about the Republicans voting to keep the government shut down.
Scott Jennings just left Michael Douglas’ 25-year-old liberal son stuttering in his dust.
Dylan Douglas tried to shift blame for the shutdown away from Democrats, but @ScottJenningsKY wasn’t having it after 40 days of gridlock.
Dylan must be a Millennial because his parents are now coming to rescue him from a bad interview.

Michael Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, are reportedly very displeased over the manner in which their son Dylan was humiliated during a roundtable discussion on politics with CNN commentator Scott Jennings.
Michael Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, are reportedly very displeased over the manner in which their son Dylan was humiliated during a roundtable discussion on politics with CNN commentator Scott Jennings.
Young Dylan was left stuttering incomprehensibly midway through the interview, which has seemingly become a source of mockery behind the scenes.
Now, according to sources, his parents, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, intend to blacklist the entire network, as they believe CNN crossed the line.
Insiders have informed Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop about Douglas and Zeta-Jones' reaction to their son's disastrous interview on CNN.
The couple is said to be so "furious" with the media outlet that they intend to "blacklist the whole network" moving forward.
On Zeta-Jones' part, she has reportedly been ranting to her friends about how the interview was "unfair and exploitative," seemingly referring to how her son was left stunned and stuttering at some of the questions he was asked.
Meanwhile, Douglas shares the same opinion and has told his close circle that the outlet "crossed a line."
Part of the reason the couple is so angered by the entire situation appears to be that they knew their son wasn't prepared for such a heated debate.
"Dylan's never been spoken to like that in his entire life. He's always been the golden boy -- adored, protected. CNN gave him a taste of the real world, and his parents hated every second of it," said a source.
...
For a while, the two continued engaging in a back-and-forth, but when Jennings began hitting Dylan with statistical figures and facts, the young politics enthusiast was left stunned and unable to defend his stance.
This became especially apparent when the conversation shifted toward the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits, which Democrats said were the reason they would not pass the funding bill.
The politically active son of the Hollywood favorite began stuttering incomprehensibly, a sign that he seemed unsure of what to say.
So, CNN's too conservative for Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones?
Dylan Douglas was born in 2000 making him 25 years old and almost 26.
And this "golden boy" got himself on CNN to spout his ludicrously uninformed nonsense, and it's CNN's fault for "exploiting" him?
He's twenty-five. That's only four years younger than the age I pretend to be. They're speaking as if he's a child, and a developmentally-disabled child at that.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday delivered one of the strongest border-security demands yet of the Trump administration's second term, urging President Trump to enact a sweeping travel ban on "every damn country" sending violent offenders into the United States. Noem revealed the recommendation in a blistering post on X shortly after meeting with the president, saying the nation can no longer accept foreign nationals who, in her words, are "flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies."
Noem framed the proposal as a necessary break from the failed leniency of the Biden years. "Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom -- not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS," she wrote, adding a final line aimed squarely at the countries she argues are exploiting U.S. generosity: "WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE."
A DHS spokesperson told the New York Post that the department will soon publish the list of countries facing new restrictions.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the State Department halted visa processing for Afghan passport holders, a move intended to prevent additional entry from the same channels that admitted the alleged gunman.
It's not just the terrorists, and it's not just the Somali pirates stealing a billion dollars from us and sending it back home to fund Al-Shaabab terrorism against us.
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday that Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz allowed the state's massive COVID-era fraud scandal to fester because he sought political favor from the state's large Somali community.
Walz defended his administration Sunday by claiming Minnesota "attracts criminals" and telling the public not to "demonize" the Somali community, even as he faced questions over more than $1 billion in welfare fraud tied to Somali-linked schemes. Appearing on "The Evening Edit," Jarrett said the question many Minnesotans want answered is simple: Why would Walz allow a massive fraud scheme to flourish?
"So if all of this is true, and I suspect it is, the question is, why would he do it? Well, the answer is he was currying favor with the large Somali community where the fraud was largely happening. He was turning a blind eye for political gain," Jarrett told host Elizabeth MacDonald.
Jarrett said state employees allege more than just simple administrative failure.
It's also incompetent third-world drivers paying for fraudulent commercial drivers licenses to kill us on the highways:
🚨LISTEN TO THIS FROM SEC SEAN DUFFY! Foreigners flooding into sham “CDL schools." Getting commercial licenses they have ZERO business holding. Then climbing behind the wheel of 80,000-lb death machines on OUR highways
The US Postal Service tried to fire all illegal alien truck drivers, but soon found that illegal aliens made up such a large portion of the driving force that they had to reverse that policy in order to deliver any mail.
This is insane. Driving is one of the last jobs left available to working class men and we're hiring only foreigners for the jobs.
he Department of Homeland Security sent a letter Monday to New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding that she turn over the more than 7,000 illegal migrants that are allegedly locked up in jails and prisons in the state.
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons claimed that nearly 7,000 illegal migrants, who had active detainers because they allegedly committed thousands of crimes, were released back into the state since January and 7,113 illegal migrants with active ICE detainers are currently locked up in New York, according to the New York Post.
"These are people who are not only in the country illegally, but who have committed additional crimes, including heinous crimes like murder, rape, possession of child pornography, armed robbery, and many others," Lyons wrote.
The DHS said that the migrants are being protected by New York's sanctuary laws, which limit local law enforcement cooperation with immigration agents.

This is not a border crisis anymore. It is a national security failure playing out in broad daylight.
As the Media Insists That It's Illegal To Shoot Missiles at Foreign Terrorist Drug Boats, They Also Claim That It's Okay to Shoot National Guardsmen If You Object to Their Presence
Responding to the news that a crazed asylee from Afghanistan had shot two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., the New Yorker's Jane Mayer concluded that the attack was "so tragic" and "so unnecessary," before proceeding to identify the real culprit of the abomination: President Donald J. Trump. "These poor guardsmen," wrote Mayer, "should never have been deployed."
In this ugly asseveration, Mayer was swiftly joined by a bunch of other political commentators, each more desperate than the last to train their fire on the current occupant of the White House. In The Atlantic, Juliette Kayyem wrote that "there are costs to performatively deploying members of the military, one of which is the risk of endangering them." On Twitter, the author John Pavlovitz explicitly proposed that "Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are culpable for endangering the National Guard by putting them in harm's way." Not to be outdone, MS NOW's Ken Dilanian followed this path to its revolting terminus by suggesting that the guardsmen were "walking around with uniforms in an American city," that "there are some Americans that might object to that," and "so, apparently, this shooting has happened."
As with Charlie Kirk: The victims brought their murders at the hands of leftists upon themselves.
I'm sorry . . . what? In what possible universe could that be an appropriate response? Washington, D.C., is a federal city over which the federal government has plenary control. If, as has been the case this year, the federal government decides that it is necessary to deploy federal agents to enforce the law, it is permitted to do so without the expectation that those agents will be murdered. Certainly, the American social contract has become more complicated over time than it was back in 1787, but at no point has it come to tolerate the proposition that officials who have been sent to keep the peace should expect to be gunned down by assassins if their deployment is disapproved of by the progressive intellectual class. Politically, one can believe that Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard was a good one, a bad one, or a middling one and that postulate will not change one whit. Whether they are there to pick up trash, fight an alien invasion, or solely to smile for foreign tourists, there is no circumstance in which killing them is appropriate.
Meanwhile, ABC "News" under George Sloppadopoulos and the Gay Model says that the Motive May Never Be Known, but right now we can confidently say that he shot those National Guardsmen not because he is a foreign Islamic terrorist and not becuase he was programmed to kill by a traitor media that justifies the murders of its opponents, but because... of Trump's economy.
Ah, it’s one of those classic cases of a guy suffering financial stress driving all the way across the country to gun down two National Guardsmen in a city to which he has no connection. When you think about it, it’s our fault. https://t.co/yQzySC6kuu
