WNBA coach Cheryl Reeve, who wore a shirt with the message "Trans Kids Belong" as an apparent troll of Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, previously called for a "Rooney Rule" in her organization to protect women's coaching jobs from being taken over by men.
In an interview on the podcast Good Game with Sarah Spain, Reeve openly expressed fear about men taking women's jobs in coaching positions.
"We had more women coaching college basketball before Title IX. After Title IX, when it became more important and more investment -- that was code for, 'well, that's a man's job.' You got paid more; it became a man's job," she said.
"To this day, we still don't have more women coaching in college basketball than we do men. Apply that same thing to two years ago, we lost seven WNBA coaches, they got fired, because all of the sudden, this money, the WNBA blew up," she continued. "Valuations of franchises. In comes the NBA folks again, who had cast us aside for many years. Now, they want their franchises back. That sorta thing. It's more important again. And then we have more men."
...
In response [to Sophie Cunningham], Reeve said that "every kid has a right to sports regardless of (being) gender diverse, transgender."

As you might have read, Clay Travis wants to end this bullshit. So he's made $10 million bet that he can put up any high school state champion boys' team against a top WNBA team. He's betting that $10 million that boys will win, because they literally always have when they've played women's professional teams.
This Quivering Lesbian Version of Egon Spengler was sure angry about that. She claims that Travis is putting women's safety in danger by encouraging them to play boys.
But she insists that trannies should be allowed in girl's sports:

Travis is also demanding that the woke WNBA have the courage of its convictions and draft this 6'3" man playing in the French women's leagues. He'll dominate the WNBA just like he dominates France.
By the way, the thing that never happens in girls' bathrooms continues never happening in girls' bathrooms:

Revealed Documents: Corrupt FBI Operatives Opened Investigation of Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT Because He Fired Their Ringleader James Comey

🚨 BOMBSHELL DROP
White House just declassified files showing Deep State operatives may have run a criminal conspiracy to crush Trump's civil rights, according to John Solomon.
FBI opened a full criminal probe treating Trump as a Russian agent simply for firing Comey. Codename: Oxford Comma. Goal? Force Mueller in.
Rosenstein green-lit the whole thing knowing exactly why Comey was gone.
Russia collusion was always a fraud. Time for consequences.
FBI Follies: Bureau secretly probed Trump as a Russian asset for firing Comey: declassified memos
Documents declassified by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017 firing and was predicated on allegations that the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed by that time.
The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau's own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin.
Internal memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017, firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released memos show the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed.
"The FBI is opening a full investigation based on an articulable factual basis that reasonably indicates that President Donald J. Trump may be or has been, wittingly or unwittingly, involved in activities for or on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation which may constitute violations of federal criminal law or threats to the national security of the United States," the electronic communication opening the probe on May 16, 2017, stated.
Goal of the investigation was to determine if Trump was directed by or controlled by the Russian Federation
"The goal of the investigation is to determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes," it added. "In addition, this investigation will also seek to determine whether President Trump and others yet to be named obstructed and/or conspiracy to obstruct any associated FBI investigation."
The memo, written by the FBI's counterintelligence division and approved by then-FBI General Counsel James Baker and then-Assistant Director for Counterintelligence William Priestap, made clear the concerns about Russian influence and obstruction included Comey's firing, in part because of the public explanations Trump gave for the termination.
"This alternative explanation can be reasonably read to imply that the FBI's counterintelligence investigation was a factor in President Trump's decision to terminate Comey," the memo stated.
In other words, James Comey was executing Hillary Clinton's op to investigate Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT -- while lying to Trump about doing so, telling Trump there wasn't anything to these "scurrilous allegations" while secretly ordering an investigation -- and Trump fired him both for that absurd investigation and for lying to his superior and the Commander in Chief about it.
And then the FBI said, "his firing of Comey proves he's an asset of Russia."
Both the Acting FBI Director Andrw McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein were advised that the probe had been launched, the memos show.
The FBI marked the investigation as a "sensitive investigative matter" and declared it was "the least intrusive method to address the serious national security risk posed by the activities alleged."
But that decision proved anything but nonintrusive: it prompted the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller by Rosenstein and a nearly two-year probe that hampered the start of the Trump presidency even though Mueller's team, like the FBI before it, was unable to substantiate any collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign during the 2016 election.
A subsequent investigation by Special Counsel John Durham -- released by the Biden Justice Department in 2023 -- concluded there was no basis for the FBI to even open the original Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion.

TIMING MATTERS: Five Months BEFORE the FBI opened a criminal probe in May 2017 targeting @POTUS
as a potential Russian asset after he fired @Comey
FBI investigators already KNEW by January 2017 there were "serious questions about the reliability of the Steele (dossier) reporting..." according to DOJ watchdog Michael Horowitz.
The flawed Steele dossier underpinned the Russia collusion allegations.
The newly declassified 2017 FBI record @WhiteHouse
also stands out because it cites "multiple open source reports" as justification.
One of the most concerning elements of the FBI Russia collusion probes was "circular reporting" Here's how it works:
FBI officials (or their proxies) would leak information to a reporter, who would then publish the leak.
The same FBI officials would then cite the resulting media story to justify further investigative actions -- including surveillance warrants for a former Trump campaign aide.
Internal DOJ investigations would conclude Comey was fired for a number of reasons, including his mishandling of the Clinton case which violated "long-standing department practice and protocol."

He can't stop making things up. He's literally never been called on his lies before so this is a whole new experience for him.
John Sexton:
[Y]esterday the NY Times published a story which basically summarized what is happening. While the story does cover most of the territory, all of the really damaging findings about Arday are left out. That seems odd, especially after Arday canceled an interview with the Times to answer their questions.
Arday has also told the press that his academic successes brought darker attention, including the delivery of a severed pig's head to his parents' home and repeated visits to his office by a masked intruder, once while wielding a knife...
...
As for his personal life, he said he "had no reason to lie or fabricate," and reiterated that he was the victim of "a wider campaign, motivated by racism, to discredit me in every single way possible."...
...over the weekend, British news outlets, including some that previously ran admiring coverage of Arday, raised fresh questions about possible anomalies in his published work and unsupported elements of his personal story, including his claims about the pig's head and the masked intruder.
So the pig's head story gets mentioned twice in the story and once more in the subheading. But what you see above is it. The Times says there are "possible anomalies" with this story but then stops and doesn't offer any details. The story has been updated today but there's still no mention of what happened with the pig's head. They do offer a link if you want to look it up yourself, but why not follow this story to the end? Here's what the Guardian reported Saturday about the pig's head story.
In a subsequent interview he claimed the police investigated, checking with butchers in south London if they had sold a pig, eventually finding one that had sold a "whole hog" on the morning the head was left outside the family home.
When the Guardian checked those details with the local butchers Arday named, they said no police officer had come in to ask them about a pig. When asked if they were sure, the butcher said "that's the kind of thing we'd remember".
When the details Arday gave about the pig's head investigation were checked by London's Metropolitan police, the Guardian was told they were "categorically" incorrect and no investigation had taken place...
Arday could produce no messages from the time in which he discussed any of the items with friends, family, colleagues or the police.
As I said yesterday, there only seem to be two possible explanations here. Either the police and the local butcher are out to get Arday or he's lying. The much more likely possibility is the second one. So, getting back to the NY Times, why would they raise this issue in an article and then fail to mention that the police and the butcher said his claims were absolutely false? Why wouldn't they mention that Arday has zero evidence (no texts or pictures) to back up his crazy claim?
Don’t let the dogpiling of Jason Arday distract from the fact that he’s not an aberration. Cultural Studies departments across the Western world are riddled with Ardays. It’s a deeply ingrained problem that universities seem unable to address. pic.twitter.com/V1nxHaz0Aa
"Journalists" are the lowest form of life. They are people who are the "salt of the earth" in the sense that they're the salt tilled into farmland to destroy it as a barbarian horde withdraws. The most insulting thing that the trolls of the Press complex do is vomit out limitless column-inches telling their readers that red is green, that up is down and that your lying eyes and passing familiarity with the obvious is the real disinformation.
There was a splendid example of this a couple of years ago, when Trump was on the campaign trail. In the wake of the stories coming out Springfield, OH and Trump mentioning it in the debate that ultimately led to Biden's withdrawal, the Press response was as consistent as it was obviously absurd. The BBC provides this example, but it could have come from any of them:
During ABC's presidential debate, Trump said: "In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They're eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there."
But city officials have told BBC Verify there have been "no credible reports" that this has actually happened.
The officials said it isn't happening, you say? Well, that's good enough for me!
They did no reporting. They asked no real people in Springfield. They didn't send a "journalist" to go to migrant areas of Springfield and talk to the natives. They picked up the phone, got the official Party line from the local officials, printed it uncritically and asserted that anyone claiming otherwise was spreading disinformation from Trump and his villainous allies. This trip down memory lane is just to set the stage, because this is such a common Press tactic that it has become almost invisible. The progression is always the same:
1. There is a newsworthy event, or an event that becomes newsworthy due to wider circumstances
2. Somebody makes a believable assertion that throws the Party's policies into question, or there is something so obviously wrong that the normals can easily infer that something's up
3. The Press interviews Party officials or other apparatchiks who say that the thing isn't what it looks like
4. The Press breathlessly reports that it's not what you think, and you're subscribing to disinformative conspiracy theories if you disagree
It's happening again, in a big way, courtesy of the debacle in Ceuta. The events there are so obviously coordinated and so rapid that precisely nobody who has looked at the situation said, "well, that sure looks spontaneous and organic." Whatever is going on Cueta, it clearly isn't happening in a vacuum - so the press does what it does. The Party line is that no Spanish policy could be involved, that no EU policy could be involved, that no NGOs can be involved, that this whole thing is normal and natural and you're some kind of lunatic who got rooked by baseless conspiracy theories if you question it. The AP has a lovely fact check:
CLAIM: Spain’s move to legalize the status of immigrants caused the rush.
THE FACTS: Spain’s government is carrying out an amnesty for immigrants without residency permits who could prove they had been living in the country for at least five months and arrived before Jan. 1, 2026. Over 1 million people applied before the window closed at the end of last month.
So they did grant amnesty - but that doesn't apply to these guys because they came too recently. Nobody said that these guys would get amnesty because of the law change - but the AP certainly can't discuss how amnesty inevitably leads to more migration or sets the stage for additional violations of the border. Ignore the problem. Just say it's not a thing.
CLAIM: A misconstrued Spanish court ruling is to blame.
THE FACTS: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has pushed the argument that a recent ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court had been intentionally misconstrued by migrant smugglers to convince thousands of people to cross the border by swimming around the border fence.
That court ruling said migrants arriving by sea could not be summarily deported without due process, unlike those who cross by land or climb the border fence because they had not crossed a physical barrier.
...
"The departures were promoted in a certain way. At first, people were hearing that the border was open, and then everyone started referring to the Spanish court decision. That contributed to the crossings," said Achraf Maimouni, a human-rights activist.
So the ruling was construed as saying it said exactly what it said, but the problem is that people noticed that the ruling said what it said. Amazing! AP "debunked" this one by verifying it. Top-notch work.
CLAIM: Those who crossed will end up in mainland Europe.
THE FACTS: The Ceuta crossings have led to political leaders in Italy, France and other EU nations to take measures that appear aimed at stopping people from entering their countries. Premier Giorgia Meloni threatened to suspend Italy’s open-border Schengen agreement with Spain even though Italy doesn’t share a border with Spain and receives many more migrants crossing the Mediterranean than Spain. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said France would also strengthen border checks with Spain.
This one is amazing. "This claim is absolutely true - but because it's true, some other European countries are on the brink of destroying the treaty basis for the entire European Union, so it now isn't true." That's one hell of a take. I'd love it if this spells the beginning of the end of the EU, but claiming that countries abrogating Schengen because of the risks associated with Schengen means that Schengen presents no risks is such a baffling conclusion that only a genuine retard - a Press-grade retard - could come up with it.
This tactic has long since become absurd. People see what's happening and know that something's rotten and talk about it, so the Press comes marching in to interview some officials or NGO types and then claim that none of this is what it so obviously is. A group of prominent liars asks another group of prominent liars a question and then uncritically publishes the deceitful response while liberally filling in the blanks however they please - and then have the temerity to lament the loss of institutional trust. It s not difficult to explain the latter, as this level of contemptuous and deceitful stupidity is so common and so normal that it has become transparent to the point of tedium.
Good morning kids. And so yesterday was primary election day in 5 states where the story within the story, which is the big story is the battle royale between the Left Hand and the FAR-Left Hand of the Democrat Party to see which will be in control going forward. While there is certainly a great deal of Schadenfreude in watching these bastards go at each other. One must never make the fatal — figurative and literal — mistake of losing sight of the fact that the abject insanity of the in-your-face Democrat Socialists is indeed repulsive, the Democrat Party itself historically has been the epicenter of every scheme and plot to destroy America as founded in service to the accrual of absolute power and control, regardless of its mythology as being the party of "Democracy" and justice. If that really were true, then the DSA let alone every other sick, evil and twisted offshoot like Working Families (which neither work nor are families, the Manson family and the Corleones notwithstanding) DFL et al would have been nothing but a plot twist in a forgotten Twilight Zone episode.
Sanders answered, “No, I am not. And I think that’s a dumb statement. On the other hand, he has a whole lot of followers, and there are a lot of things that he’s saying that are making sense to a lot of people. I think we have to get above cancel culture. When you’re doing radio, whatever they do, podcasts three hours a day, you say dumb things. I suspect if you go back over your career, there may be one or two things that you’ve said that you may have regretted. But I think what we have got to do is look at the totality of where people are coming from and go forward.”
Phillip then asked, “So, when someone like James Carville says he doesn’t want to be in the same political party as Hasan Piker, which one are you going to take?”
Sanders answered, “Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party. But, look, what we are doing now is, you can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe has committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that? Do you want to be in a party which has not stood up to the AI industry, because they got a lot of money from AI or from crypto? So you could pick whatever you want to pick. But I think we need a big tent. And I think people like Piker should be welcome into that, certainly.”
Yes, Bernie Sanders, whose closest encounter with Judaism is the occasional Pastrami Sandwich at Katz's deli, is as is painfully evident eagerly test marketing new Zyklon C and D for Hamas. And Carville despite being portrayed as some sort of voice of moderation was one of the key button men for the Clinton crime family and helped inflict them on America which not coincidentally led us to Obama, Biden and the near violent ripping apart of our society that we've been enduring and may yet, Despite the coming of MAGA and Donald Trump might yet come apart at the seams.
An armed man allegedly scouted President Trump’s California golf club before the commander in chief’s visit, and investigators say the arrest uncovered an illegal rifle, body armor and a weapons stash.
Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, was charged in a federal criminal complaint with possessing an unregistered short-barreled rifle after his arrest Saturday at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes. . . He allegedly approached federal agents and falsely claimed he worked for the State Department and was assigned to a security detail.
So what is this now the fifth or sixth attempt on President Trump's life, that we know of anyway. Of course we have the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk as well as the various attacks on ICE and Law Enforcement officers which of course is another central political tenet of the Democrats, the abolition of the aforementioned and erasure of our borders. Related to all of that, this madness is going on in my newish home state of Wisconsin.
Yet in a city named for this Founding Father — Madison, Wisconsin — citizens have been harassed by roving bands of socialists, while city officials not only acquiesce but overtly support the seizure of property, restriction of free movement, and abuse of private businesses. The saga began on July 22, when four Madison police officers attempted to arrest Corey Ruiz, who was reportedly armed with a knife. A series of videos shows Ruiz resisting arrest and lunging at officers until one officer shot and killed him. According to police, Ruiz pulled out his knife and injured an officer before he was shot. . . Ruiz’s death sparked the typical leftist reaction: violence and threats of violence. All the necessary ingredients were present: the officers involved were white, and Ruiz was black (although five separate court records list him as “Caucasian,” which raises different questions) . . Leading candidate for Wisconsin governor and avowed “democratic” socialist Francesca Hong took to the streets hours after the death with a bullhorn to denounce the police.
Of course this evil slag did that. If I were President Trump I'd invite the police officers to the White House and award them with some sort of medal for bravery and meritorious service.
We're in a war for the soul and the future of this nation, our nation. It's us or them.
A 37-year-old man was arrested Monday for allegedly starting the largest of the three devastating Spokane, Washington-area wildfires that are leaving some residents with nothing.
Aaron Farinacci, a Spokane resident who has a prior manslaughter conviction, was booked on suspicion of first degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire and was being held on $1 million bond, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities began investigating Farinacci after a witness saw him kneeling near grass where the fire began, Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels told a press conference late Monday. . . “The individual we understand does have a criminal record,” Gov. Ferguson said. “It just takes a tragic situation, and makes it more heartbreaking to think that much of this damage could have been caused by an individual doing this on purpose. It adds to a really challenging situation.”

During CNN’s election coverage on Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that while he doesn’t agree with Hasan Piker that America deserved 9/11, “we need a big tent. And I think people like Piker should be welcome into that, certainly.” He also stated that the choice between Democratic Strategist James Carville and Piker isn’t “much of a choice” and “you can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe has committed genocide?” Sanders on Objections to Piker Over 9/11 Comments: I Object to Taking AIPAC Money, I Choose Piker Over Carville

All three fires remain uncontained, and the cause of the other two fires is still under investigation. Farinacci is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. Last month, President Donald J. Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Canada due to pollution created by that country’s wildfires. “We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their forests and brush,” said the President in a post on Truth Social. The wildfires in Washington represent another major wildfire to hit a Western state. Last year, the Pacific Palisades in California were ravaged by a major wildfire. A man was subsequently arrested on charges of starting the Palisades Fire, although a mistrial was declared back in June. “The court finds there is a manifest necessity to declare a mistrial because the jury is deadlocked… We have people on both sides that are dead set, unwavering, and unwilling to change their opinion,” said Judge Anne Hwang at the time.

An EMT worker, who says she turned off cameras pointed at patients in the back of ambulances, has filed an $800,000 lawsuit – claiming she was fired for protecting the privacy of patients who were unaware they were being filmed.
Brittany Martin, a former emergency medical technician for Metro West — which provides ambulance services across Portland, Oregon — filed a wrongful termination lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court against her previous employer last month.
According to emergency medical news outlet EMS1, Martin claims that the privately owned ambulance company began installing cameras in late 2025 or early 2026. However, patients were not informed that they were about to be video and audio recorded. Her lawsuit says she believed that these cameras in the patient compartments of ambulances violated Oregon law.

Police investigated journalist who tried to expose Cambridge professor
Reporter accused of harassment after emailing series of questions to Jason Arday about his academic record
Scotland Yard investigated a journalist trying to expose a plagiarism row and told him to stop asking a Cambridge professor questions.
Scotland Yard, of course, is the UK's national police force.
Jack Grove, a reporter for Times Higher Education (THE), was accused of harassment after he emailed a series of questions to Prof Jason Arday about his academic record. Mr Grove said officers told him to stop contacting the professor because his "mental health" had been affected by the questions.
Prof Arday also hired the law firm Carter-Ruck, which suggested in a letter to THE that its "apparent attack" on him "may be... racially motivated".
The Metropolitan Police spent four months looking into the claim of harassment before deciding in February to close the case.
The police did not interview Mr Grove, who only found out about the investigation when the Met contacted him to inform him that they would not be taking action.
The Met also reportedly passed on a complaint to another force about an academic who was also looking into the academic record of Prof Arday, but the other force refused to investigate.
The Met is among forces that have been accused in recent months of wasting time on pointless investigations while insisting that they do not have the manpower to routinely attend burglaries and other crimes.
Mr Grove told The Telegraph that he had been "stunned" to receive a phone call from the police to be told he had been investigated simply for doing his job.
He said: "I was told a complaint had been made against me and investigated, but the force was not taking it forward. The officer told me that I shouldn't contact Professor Arday again because his mental health had been affected by my actions.
"I asked him what I had done, and he said there had been online posts about Professor Arday. I said I'd never posted anything about him and asked him if he realised he was speaking to a journalist who was investigating a story. He didn't really respond but repeated his request for me not to contact Professor Arday again, citing his mental health.
"I was just doing my job. Journalists should be free to ask questions of anyone, even star professors. It's very rare that academics refuse to speak to the press -- that caused me to look into this matter further and I was astonished by what I found."
So the fake DEI "professor" -- let's say he's a "perfesser" -- is playing the race card with gusto.
But it's not working.
So he's playing the "autism" card now, too.
See, he's autistic, that's why he committed plagiarism throughout his entire career.
I don't know if you guys know this, but autism makes people less detail-oriented.
#Science!
Prof Arday has, in recent days, put his apparent plagiarism down to autism, saying he absorbs information through mimicry.
OMG, "Perfesser," that's wonderful. "My autism makes me learn through mimicry, aka plagiarism."
Wonderful. Wonderful!
He has also admitted that a claim about running 600 miles in six days for charity was wrong (saying it took 12 days) and has said that he did not single-handedly raise £5.5m for charity but was part of a syndicate of around 100 people, none of whom he can name because he signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Charity fundraisers often force people to sign NDAs so that no one knows where the money came from, or, where it's going to. (No one ever received these alleged funds, but I guess that's covered by the NDA.)
And his confabulations aren't done yet!
It also emerged on Tuesday that Prof Arday falsely claimed to have been a visiting professor at Ohio State University.
On the Cambridge Faculty of Education page, he claims to be a visiting professor at the US university in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
However, a university spokesman said they had "no record of an employee by that name" and that "visiting professors appear in our employment records".
Ohio State's Office of Diversity and Inclusion also closed last year.
It comes a day after Glasgow University denied Prof Arday's claims that he was a visiting professor in the university's School of Education.
Anne Applebaum has a suspicion that Perfesser's career was orchestrated by Donald Trump and the "far right" Spanish party Vox.
In the New York Times' cover-up coverage, they wait until the 19th paragraph to report, oh by the way, yes the Perfesser clearly plagiarized.
The NY Times quotes Jason Arday about a "dark arts" campaign against him, gives a long backstory, smears the person who first reported the scandal, and only then, in the nineteenth paragraph, mentions that, yes, dozens of passages in his thesis appear to be plagiarized. pic.twitter.com/wsdvPDQ16b
The Far Right Is Destorting Ceuta, Says Hideous Leftwing Globalist Anne Applebaum in Steve Jobs' Widow's Vanity Magazine
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The Far Right Is Distorting Ceuta
We've seen this before.
By Anne Applebaum
Mostly young, mostly male Moroccans crawling onto beaches, climbing hills, scaling walls, jumping over fences, surging past police in order to get into Europe: The photographs and videos that emerged from Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, on July 29 and 30 looked very much like migrant-terror videos, deliberately designed to be broadcast by the international far right. So closely did this incident resemble the "invasion" that MAGA and its European friends have long said is under way that it was hard not to suspect that it had been orchestrated.
Oh! It proves that what we've been saying for ten years is true, but we know it can't be true, therefore, this Deep Thinker postulates an ass-pull conspiracy theory that the right must be "orchestrating" the invasion.
Wow, so intellectual. A fact you don't like appears so you go full Marjorie Trailer-Queen.
As I am writing this, much is still not known about the 60,000-odd people who swam from Morocco to Ceuta last week. But we do know that many of them saw social-media posts encouraging them to swim to Ceuta and, perhaps, to thereby precipitate a crisis. Ceuta has been a Spanish city since the 16th century, but it is not part of mainland Spain. Nor is it possible to cross from Ceuta to mainland Spain, and therefore into the Schengen Area, the European Union's free-movement zone, without crossing a checkpoint. Illegal immigrants cannot travel from Ceuta to mainland Spain at all.
After the jump is video allegedly showing "migrants" boarding a plane to fly to Spain.
But the conspiracy theorist Anne Applebaum insists this is all impossible.
Wait, she didn't say that did she? She hinted it was impossible without actually committing herself to that.
Last week, according to El Pais as well as other Spanish, international, and Moroccan media outlets, many Moroccans saw a TikTok video nevertheless claiming that "the Spanish border is open and you can cross without papers," meaning they could reach the European continent. The video appeared to reference a recent ruling by the Spanish supreme court making it harder to return migrants who arrive by sea, but it was not the only encouragement. Other messages, many of which have now disappeared, told people where to buy wet suits, flippers, goggles, floats, and even waterproof bags for documents and cellphones. Screenshots from Google Maps told them which sections of the Ceuta beach might have fewer police. Moroccan border guards were either unwilling or unable to stop them.
She's hinting that the righties did this? No, it's leftwing NGOs. They're on video helping the invaders.
Surprised by the unprecedented numbers and perhaps fearing hundreds would drown--in the end, at least 70 people died in the water, including some children--the Spanish police let them land on the beach.
Yes that's why Biden let 9-20 million illegals flood into our country, too. They illegals put themselves in danger so what can you do besides let them in, thus encouraging the next waves of dangerous border-rushing.
. This is when the photographs and videos began to circulate. Among those promoting them were senior members of the Trump administration, and senior leaders of the European far right.
Oh and we're wrong to publicize a major international incident because this bitch's socialist Davos pals haven't worked out their cover story yet.
Once again: Access to Ceuta does not give anyone automatic access to the rest of Europe.
There she goes again -- she says it doesn't grant "automatic" access, and wants you to infer from that that it doesn't grant access at all.
The Spanish Supreme Court ruled you cannot eject illegal aliens who come by sea. Therefore these people are due asylum.
A checkpoint is no barrier if the officials wave you through it, Anne. You know that, don't you?
...
It remains unclear who created the viral posts that encouraged the would-be migrants to believe that they could get to Europe from Ceuta.
There she goes again, hinting her conspiracy theory that JD Vance and Stephen Miller must have orchestrated this to make her traitorous transnational political cult look bad.
But those who want to weaken the Spanish government, boost the European far right, and create turmoil inside the EU lost little time in promoting the photographs as soon as they arrived.
...
The Trump administration, which has also questioned Britain's control of the Falkland Islands and Denmark's control of Greenland, might be interested in the same thing. Recently, a congressional report described the cities as "under Spanish administration," rather than a part of Spain. Trump himself has reasons to be pleased with Morocco, which has joined his Board of Peace and named a highway in his honor. He also has reasons to dislike Sánchez, who refused to let the U.S. use Spanish military bases for Trump's war in Iran and says he will not, like the rest of NATO, raise his country's defense spending to 5 percent of its GDP.
So there you go: She is pushing this conspiracy theory in Steven Jobs' widow's vanity magazine.
Tell me, is there any alternative explanation besides the convoluted Trump Did It To Embarrass the Spanish Socialists ones, Anne? I know you're a deep thinker so surely you have another theory?
Others also had reasons to exploit the incident. Inside Spain, where Sánchez's administration and party are under investigation for corruption--a former party leader is alleged to have ties to Chinese and Venezuelan criminal networks--the prime minister has plenty of opponents. One politician from Vox, the Spanish far-right party, visited Ceuta and called for "everyone to defend their family with whatever they have at hand."
Oh, the anti-immigrant Spanish right must have done it.
...
Readers can be forgiven for feeling a strong sense of déjà vu. For more than a decade now, European and indeed American politicians have known that real, fake, enhanced, or context-free pictures of migrants jumping fences will immediately create a wave reaction.
Oh, these videos are cheapfakes, huh?
Military rhetoric will be used--attack or invasion--and, to quote Vance, "radical left-wing globalist policies" will be blamed. Hardly anyone will ask why it is that so many people are so desperate to move that they will risk their lives. Few will mourn the dead.
I don't care why they're coming, Anne.
Instead, far-right and MAGA politicians, influencers, and podcasters will immediately use the most divisive language possible in order to make voters as angry as possible, as fast as possible, regardless of what actually happened. Almost everyone else will be intimidated by their fury. As it turns out, it's harder to stop the wave of anger than it is to stop the migrants themselves.
Fuck you.
She claims that all of the illegals have already gone home "voluntarily." She says this because a socialist, Pedro Sanchez, says it, and of course all statements made by leftists are self-verifying.
60,000+ migrants from Morocco's border stormed the small town and are now hiding in the mountains and city to reach mainland Europe.
Moroccan migrants said Moroccan authorities let them through their border and Spain literally opened their gates upon arrival. Many migrants thank PM Pedro Sánchez for opening the border... Ceuta is now effectively shut down due to looting concerns, and the military is losing power as migrants outnumber them and continue to escape into the mountains.
Now thousands of military age men are set to spread throughout Europe due to one country's "failure."

Wisconsin Socialist Candidate for Governor Francesca Hong Wants to Cancel Thanksgiving, Defund the Police as a Modest Step Towards Abolishing Them Entirely
—Disinformation Expert Ace
She declared that Thanksgiving should be cancelled during the covid lockdowns, but went further: She said it should have been cancelled since its founding in 1621, because it's "painful" to hysterical identity-politics-drenched racists.
"Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621," Hong posted. "If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed Indegenous [sic] folx [sic] and women so be it."
CNN's top tranny Kaitlin Collins asked her if she still wanted to cancel Thankgiving.
She danced around the question -- but did not say "no."
I'm a chef, and one of the first meals that I made that was for the community when i was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal. I always think my hospitality background and owning a restaurant for 7-8 years, that bringing folks around the table to share conversation and build community is always a good thing.
But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. So I think there I wanted to make sure people understood there are multiple views, but views can evolve.
As I mentioned the other day, this anchor-baby has a racist grudge against "white people," who she imagines don't think she can speak English which, given her complete inability to write correct grammatical English, seems more like her own hang-up and imposter syndrome than "white people's."
I ate two bites of my kid's cheeseburger at a Culver's in black river falls and told him they ran out of ice cream. Mostly just wanted to leave bc I was on the verge of a anxiety attack...to (sic) many old white people who didn't think we spoke english.
She's such a racist that she can't even admit her own racial sin: She married a white guy and gave birth to a half-white son.
But she can't bring herself to admit that her husband is (spit) "white." She euphemizes this horrific fact as noting that she is in "proximity to whiteness."
Francesca Hong describes having a half white son as "being in proximity to whiteness." pic.twitter.com/Ix0j0nisnF
She has repeatedly called to defund the police as a step towards abolishing the police entirely:
Francesca Hong: "Police officers enforce the law with state sanctioned violence... We have to dismantle police unions... and defund the police." pic.twitter.com/Q4agbtLZX7
She might hold it, she's just not making it part of her campaign (because it's extremely unpopular).
Once again: I am not running to defund the police. And to be clear, the governor cannot defund the police. My administration will prioritize public safety & justice for victims. If you want to talk about who's actually defunding public safety, start with @ScottWalker & @repvos! https://t.co/PvSdYjuS2b
— Francesca Hong For Governor (@FrancescaHongWI) July 31, 2026
The governor does fund local police and furthermore can affect laws making it harder for police to do their jobs. The governor also runs the prison system, which this foreign agent wants to abolish.
Or at least, she currently admits to wanting to "decrease our prison population."
Or as she calls it, "pree-son."
She speaks English with genuine difficulty so I don't know why it's my racist problem for noticing this.

A Democratic congressional candidate running against incumbent U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda was arrested Saturday after a violent altercation at Keawakapu Beach in South Kihei.
Kirill Basin, 40, was charged with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening, and his bail was set at $1 million.
According to Maui Police Department, the incident began when a 61-year-old man asked Basin to lower the volume of his music. Basin allegedly threatened the man by implying he had a firearm and would shoot the victim's wife.
A bystander intervened, leading to a physical altercation during which Basin allegedly armed himself with a knife and threatened multiple people before throwing it into the ocean. The knife was later recovered by police.
Video of the incident was widely shared on social media, including by the accounts HHHNewz and MaileMalia369.
Prior Arrests And Restraining Orders
Police say Basin has been arrested for other incidents of assault and property damage since May.
Several people have taken out temporary restraining orders against him, including Maui County Council member Thomas Cook, who said he was worried about his personal safety and for his staff after Basin disrupted a meeting in May.
Cook said Basin "became aggressive and confrontational" and "threatened violence against the police" and a council ambassador.
Two days later, on May 29, reports circulated that Basin "brandished a weapon in a county office building in a confrontation with county employees."
He thinks he's badass because he got an ugly tribal tattoo.
BREAKING: Hawaii Democrat congressional candidate Kirill Basin ARRESTED for threatening a man with a knife after he was asked to lower the volume of his music at the beach.
He tried fighting but was immediately knocked out 🤣
These are the people that fancy themselves revolutionaries.
They get knocked out by a fucking touch to the chin. It wasn't even a strike/a punch nor was it even closed fist. Buddy went down with a fucking accidental touch.
And why would this revolutionary tribal-tattoo tough guy think that a beach chair weighing about two pounds spread over four square feet would do any kind of damage to someone? Doesn't seem like this tough-guy has been in many fights.
He was arrested for threatening to kill the man with a knife.
People are pointing out he looks like the Yellow Bastard from Sin City. Only gayer.
This little faggot was previously arrested for bringing a gun into a shop to threaten people he was arguing with. He was charged with first-degree terrorist threats.

A Spokane, Washington, man was arrested and charged with setting the largest of three wildfires that crews have been battling in the region this week.
Aaron F. Farinacci, 37, was arrested Monday and charged with suspicion of first-degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office, the Associated Press reported. Farinacci was previously convicted of felony manslaughter in Arizona.
He shot his father to death because his father told this lunatic man-child to do the dishes. He also shot his mother.
Democrats allowed him to plead down to manslaughter.
...
Farinacci was again identified when major crimes detectives began investigating reports and footage from body cameras, which indicated the fire started near where the witness had seen a man by the side of the road. Farinacci had matches and a butane lighter when he was arrested, Nowles said. He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

🚨#BREAKING: A man who m*rdered his own FATHER because he was asked to WASH DISHES... is now accused of setting a fire that burned roughly 700 homes to the ground and forced 65,000 people to flee.
Yes, he k*lled his dad over DISHES and he wasn't in prison.
His name is Aaron Farinacci. He's 37.
Back in 2010, in Mesa, Arizona, Farinacci got into an argument with his father, because his father asked him to do the dishes.
So he shot him de*d.
Then he pointed the gun at his own mother.
Then he shot himself and survived.
He was charged with first-degree M*RDER... but that got knocked down, and he pleaded guilty to mansl*ughter.
Now fast forward to this week in Spokane, Washington.
The Old Trails Fire tore through neighborhoods north of the city. It destroyed around 700 structures, most of them homes.
As many as 65,000 people were forced to evacuate. Investigators say it was intentionally set.
And they've arrested Aaron Farinacci.
Police say he had waterproof matches and a butane lighter on him and found him kneeling in the grass right where the fire started.
The sheriff says he's been contacted before for "arson-related behavior."
Here's the part that will make you sick.
On the DAY the fire started, a witness reported a nervous man in the trees.
Police actually stopped Farinacci a mile away, questioned him... and let him GO.
Now 700 families may be staring at the ashes of everything they built.
But here's who got him: ordinary citizens.
Neighbors who saw something wrong and refused to stay quiet.
The prosecutor said that this case was cracked by "vigilant citizens" who spoke up.
THANK GOD for people who pay attention.
He's charged with first-degree arson, held on a $1 million bond.
GOOD.
How does a man plead guilty to k*lling his own father... and end up free, with a lighter, next to 65,000 people's homes?

Climate Change, as we know, is the root cause of all bad things. It has become so destructive that it is whispering in the ears of arsonists, telling them to start fires that burn down vast swathes of nature and not a few homes in places like Los Angeles and Spokane.

Arsonists lighting fires?
Climate change.
Government incompetence?
Climate change.
Reservoirs left empty?
Climate change.
El Niño? La Niña?
Climate change.
Note that the left puts forward an arson, claims it's "climate change," and claims this proves all of their superstitions about Angry Weather Gods and demands we change our policies to their religion.
But when it turns out that all of this destruction was caused by the left's insane "decarceration" agenda, not a single leftist admits that maybe this proves that their policies are responsible for environmental destruction (and human misery) and so maybe they should change them.
No, every false claim proves that you have to change your beliefs, while no amount of true facts proves that they have to change theirs.
The specific fraud type is yet again a Democrat creation. The Democrats wanted to pay people for "home health care" -- basically a non-medical-professional person dropping by someone's house and getting paid for it.
It turns out that in 96% of the cases being charged here for fraud, the exact illness the "patients" were supposedly being treated for is "illness unspecified."
Yeah I'll bet it's unspecified.
Why? Because if you're defrauding the government, it's easier to say "I don't know why I'm sick" then get an actual diagnosis from a doctor.
Not that you can't pay a corrupt doctor to submit phony diagnoses. That's a cornerstone of this industry the left has created to steal money from actual workers.
But an actual illness could be expected to heal at some point, or kill the "patient," and it's just easier to claim you have some unknown, unidentifiable malady, who knows what it could be. All you know for sure is that you need the government to pay your husband $50,000 to "care" for you.
DOJ charges 19 defendants in alleged $4 million Philadelphia Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme
In one case, a Medicaid recipient filed claims for extensive home health assistance while also working as a carpenter, prosecutors said.
Federal and Pennsylvania authorities charged 19 defendants who are accused of participating in a $4 million scheme involving Medicare and Medicaid claims.
Among the defendants are home health care company owners, their employees and Medicaid recipients, Fox News reported.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave on Sunday announced a plea agreement involving a defendant in a separate case in which 21 people were charged with fraud involving more than $1.7 million in claims.
The defendants are alleged to have billed Medicaid for home health services while they were incarcerated, hospitalized, working other jobs or traveling overseas. In one case, a Medicaid recipient filed claims for extensive home health assistance while also working as a carpenter, prosecutors said.
Other defendants are alleged to have submitted overlapping or impossible work hours, such as care that exceeded 24 hours in a single day.

Apparently the code for "unspecified illness" is to be used only when there is some unidentifiable complication that comes with an actual identifiable illness, and they're doing tests to find out what the other complaint might be.
It's not a permanent diagnosis. It means "we're working on it."
But fraudsters are using the code as the main, final diagnosis:
Salt ✟ Light
@SaltandLight70
The ICD-10 code R69 illness unspecified should never be used as a principle diagnosis. It is used in conjunction with the primary symptom code, with R69 as add on for diagnosis unclear at the time of clinical evaluation, additional testing, consultation or workup pending. So just reject payment for all bills using R69 as principle diagnosis.
This doesn't sound like a bona fide deal to me. This sounds like more duplicitous Iranian bullshit, still insisting they get to control the Strait and charges "tariffs" on oil ships, which they then use to buy missiles to shoot at Americans:
Although Bessent insisted a future deal would include "freedom of movement," a Reuters report published on Tuesday morning said Iran was expecting to maintain control of inbound traffic in the Strait of Hormuz in a deal being negotiated with Oman, citing an Iranian source. Outbound traffic would take a route between the two countries, and Iran would maintain oversight on those traffic lanes as well.
Despite Iran's past insistence they were not directly negotiating with the U.S., Trump said on Monday the talks were "going on right now." The president said he called off strikes over the weekend, which he claimed would have been "harder than any attack... since World War II." Trump said the talks were "backed" by other countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. "I want to give them every last chance before decapitation," he said later.
Meanwhile, Fox News reports that someone high up in the government, or even in the White House, leaked top-secret plans for the massive aerial bombardment of Iran over the weekend.
They don't say this leak caused the attack to be scuttled. Trump says that our "Gulf allies" requested the attack be delayed.
Still -- what the hell is this?

🚨 SOMEONE HIGH UP IN THE GOVERNMENT JUST LEAKED A PLANNED STRIKE ON IRAN
A major military operation was in the works.
Trump called it the largest since World War II.
Then it got leaked over the weekend.
Trey Yingst reports even senior Israeli intelligence officials had no idea the plan existed. That's how tightly it was held... until someone high inside the U.S. government decided to run their mouth to the press.
This isn't a minor slip.
There are 50,000 American troops, destroyers, fighters, and refuelers in the region. Operational security is everything. Leaking strike plans doesn't just undermine negotiations -- it puts American lives at risk and gives the enemy a heads-up.
Trump already pulled the strikes after requests from Iran and Gulf allies. Now the White House has to hunt down the leaker.
Whoever did this needs to be found, fired, and prosecuted.
No exceptions.
🚨 SOMEONE HIGH UP IN THE GOVERNMENT JUST LEAKED A PLANNED STRIKE ON IRAN
I at least have to mention a possibility that I don't like much: Trump loves gabbing to the press, especially New York media liberals who absolutely despise him. No one can stop him from constantly talking to Maggie Haberman, for example. Although Trump is a strong conservative in most ways, he shares a grave flaw with RINO liberals: The opinions of the New York/DC liberal media operatives still matter to him.
So who knows. Maybe he leaked some information after he'd already decided to hal the attack, and wanted people to know that he was serious this time, seriously you guys.

2. At some point, the CIA got wind of this and informed President Trump, who may then have used Tucker as an unwitting counterintelligence asset to feed faulty information to Iran. (BASED.)

CBD looked deep down on the bench for a fill-in for this morning's rant and found me. OK then - I'll give it a go!
I've been noticing a growing number of articles and X posts lately about the increasing amount of "safety" cameras (officially known as "license plate readers" or LPRs) being deployed around the country. CBD brought up this topic in his Morning Rant on 7/9/26 (remember - don't comment on old threads). This is another huge part of the surveillance state in which we currently live.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Does the current surveillance state constitute "unreasonable searches and seizures"? Sure seems like it to me.
A Forbes article from the pre-Covid era compared the modern surveillance state to George Orwell's book 1984. The article made distinctions between government being the primary source in the book and private industry being the primary source in 2019. In the relatively short time since that article was written, those lines have gotten blurrier.
George Orwell’s famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four turns 70 years old next month. Looking back on its predictions and the state of the world today, how much did it get right in its predictions of a dystopian surveillance state where every word is monitored, unacceptable speech is deleted, history is rewritten or deleted altogether and individuals can become “unpersons” for holding views disliked by those in power? It turns out Orwell’s predictions were frighteningly accurate.
This is from May 2019 so add 7 years and change to that 70.
In 1984, it was the state that determined what constituted acceptable speech in keeping society orderly.
In 2019, it is a small cadre of private companies in Silicon Valley and their executives that wield absolute power over what we are permitted to see and say online.
The atmosphere of free speech on social media got worse during Covid but has gotten noticeably better since Elon bought Twitter and the other giants dialed back on their ridiculous censorship. Going in the opposite direction - The State of Minnesota has recently decided to assert a claim to absolute authority over permissible speech with the Shiloh Hendrix case.
In 1984, it was the state that made use of its vast surveillance empire to maintain order.
In 2019, a landscape of private companies so large it is almost uncountable, monitors, monetizes and manipulates us.
***
In 1984, the government funded the vast empire of equipment and personnel needed to maintain constant surveillance of its citizens.
In 2019, the public themselves fund the great surveillance empire that monitors, monetizes and manipulates them. Citizens purchase the latest digital devices, upgrade and maintain them at regular intervals, pay for the power and internet services needed to connect them and grant unlimited rights to their most intimate information to private companies.
Enter "Flock Safety" here in 2026. The distinctions made by Forbes in 2019 are rapidly disintegrating. Was it all government owned and operated property in Orwell's book? I don't know. But in 2026, "Flock operates on a subscription/lease model only. Hardware is owned and maintained by Flock and remains their property." (Source - getsafeandsound.com)
Grok provided this note:
Customers (including government agencies) own and control the data/footage captured by the cameras. Flock does not sell that data, and sharing is controlled by the customer. The distinction is important: the physical cameras belong to the private contractor (Flock), while the data belongs to the contracting agency or organization.
So the customers (mostly government agencies at various levels) own the footage / data. Which is provided by Flock Safety. The unmentioned part is if/how Flock Safety themselves also review and/or retain the data. The public - who are the indirect billpayers - should know that!
First, let's take a look at who owns Flock Safety. According to Grok with sources cited:
Flock Safety (legal name Flock Group Inc.) is a privately held, venture-backed company with no single public owner or parent company. (bgr.com)
It was founded in 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, by Georgia Tech alumni Garrett Langley (CEO and largest individual shareholder), Matt Feury, and Paige Todd. The founders retain a significant ownership stake (estimated around 21% combined in some analyses), alongside employee stock ownership plans and numerous investors. (dealroom.co)
Major investors include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z, which led a $275 million round in 2025 at a ~$7.5 billion valuation), Founders Fund, Tiger Global, Matrix Partners, Bedrock, Greenoaks Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, Coatue, and others (dozens in total). The company has raised roughly $950 million to over $1 billion across multiple rounds and has seen valuation signals around $8.4 billion in 2026 reporting. (bgr.com)
It remains independent and founder-led, with no acquisition by a larger corporation. Note that while Founders Fund (associated with Peter Thiel) is an investor, Thiel does not own or control the company. (coloradosun.com)
People are very uncomfortable with the fact that Flock Cameras investor Peter Thiel shared over 2,400 emails with Jeffrey Epstein and now Flock cameras are pointed at little kids playgrounds
Just take this location, “Here's a flock camera pointed directly at the schoolyard, monitoring where each kid walks, how they get home, if there's an adult with them, which car is picking them up”
But it even gets worse than this, I’ll provide in the video an area next to a kids water splash pad that has a huge amount of Flock cameras pointed right at it
They say it’s because the cameras are there for enhanced security at high risk locations, but the connection to Epstein has people more than concerned about these camera placements

American is going to the gun range and she gets into the parking lot and notices something concerning
There are 4 Flock cameras "pointing into the entrance of the parking lot. Not the street - into the entrance, so they can read every license plate that comes in here"
"I'm sure there's no ulterior motive behind this either…."
I was able to locate this location as the Eagle Sports Range in Cudahy, Wisconsin
CBD mentioned the website deflock.org in his post. This is an outstanding site which contains a map of the US with the location of every Flock camera. As of last night, it was reporting just over 125,000 "license plate readers" in operation. Definitely check out that site.
Some of you may have seen some of the anti-Flock related videos I have posted recently on my ONTs. Many more are hitting my X feed (which you also should follow!). Here are a couple.
Here's a situation where Flock cameras were said to be helpful
Flock cameras in Atlanta used to find carjacker with a 2-year old in the back seat - police tracked the car in under 15 minutes. Carjacker arrested and child rescued, unharmed, and returned to mother. #Flock
I'll admit that this does give me some brief second thoughts about these "safety" measures. A good result from ill advised measures is a rare exception, though. Overall, I agree with the countless people who oppose this type of surveillance because it is a violation of the 4th Amendment. It is also way too likely for misuse to occur.
I am hopeful that there will be more and more pushback against these "safety" cameras which will lead to them being removed. At the same time, I wonder how many elected officials are "investors" in Flock Safety.

Taking as his inspiration the eponymous poem of 1833 by Alfred de Musset, Gervex transposes the narrative into fashionable contemporary Paris, signalled by the wrought iron railings and view of the Haussmannised cityscape beyond, the grand boulevard backdrop recognized by some viewers as the fashionable Boulevard des Italiens. Jacques Rolla, a well-born bourgeois, has decided to spend his final night with the prostitute Marion, having squandered his fortune on a life of debauchery. The scene depicts the morning after: while Marion lies asleep, Rolla broods on his fate and contemplates suicide by jumping from the window. The model for Marion is based on several women - the actress Ellen Andrée, a favorite of Renoir, Manet and Degas (she is the sitter in Degas' L'Absinthe of 1876) posed for the body, but demanded that a different model be used for the face.
That little comment about Paris being "Haussmannised" is a pomposity, signalling that the writer is one of the elite who knows who Baron Haussmann was. Except...every Parisian knows who he was, and it's not that big a deal. It's like a New Yorker knowing who Robert Moses was. So? He was an urban planner who changed some of NYC, some for the good and some definitely not. But it's a hometown detail, and not a signal of one's intelligence.
And in the "bourgeois" I get a whiff of Marxist dialectic, which deserves a whiff of grapeshot.
But I digress.
Manet, Degas, Stevens, the young, the old, everyone trooped in front of the canvas which was already famous before it entered the Salon…However, hardly had it been hung on the wall when the surintendant des Beaux- Arts, Turquet, gave the brutal order that it be removed on grounds of immorality, with the complicity of the Salon jury…that’s how an art dealer offered to exhibit Rolla at his shop on the Chaussée-d’Antin… I accepted, as you can imagine, with gratitude, and for three months there was indeed an uninterrupted procession of visitors with a queue of carriages backed up to the Opera. -- Henri Gervex
Good morning kids. Early post this morning as I have a medical appointment and a long drive ahead...
As I, CBD and others have discussed on these pages and elsewhere while depriving or at the very least delaying Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons will preserve civilization and save countless millions of lives at least in the short term. However long that period of time may be, because Islam was is and always will be on the march to conquer the world and quite likely bring about armageddon to do so, as has always been the case with the Shi'ite part of that blood thirsty creed since it is a central tenet of its philosophy.
And so with that in mind, my support for President Trump's efforts thus far in getting us to at least the point of buying us some time is unwavering and remains so. And yet here we are today with the Mullahs still in power, albeit their military might severely degraded. But the question for President Trump is what is the endgame, or more to the point how are we to go about actually achieving that endgame, which I have to assume is permanently denying Iran the ability to threaten its neighbors with nuclear weapons or garden variety terrorism that it has unleashed on the world since Jimmy Carter helped birth the cancer emanating from Tehran in 1979, pig-piss be upon him for all eternity for that alone.
. . .“the call-off comes, as President Trump said Saturday, the framework for a new deal featuring a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and denuclearization for Iran has been reached. The president did not rule out further military action if talks fall through.” Of course. As he has so many times before.
Trump said: “You see, you see how it is. We’re ready to go anytime we want. Would I rather make a deal? I’m not looking to kill people. Because people die, a lot of people die, and we don’t want that.” Of course. No one does. But all this means is that more people are going to die at the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Meanwhile, just as predictably, “Iran’s foreign minister said today direct talks with the U.S. are not underway.” Of course. They never are, if the Islamic Republic is to be believed, even as Trump insists that Iran’s shadowy leaders are begging and pleading to make a deal. . . I’m old enough to remember, especially since it was just a few weeks ago, when Trump was excoriating the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran as “scum,” and saying that it was useless to try to negotiate with them. What did the Saudis and Qataris and Emiratis tell him to convince him otherwise? Or maybe he needed no convincing, since it wasn’t long before he was dismissing them that Trump himself was praising Iran’s leaders, and suggesting that since they were so calm and reasonable, as opposed to those whom they had replaced, that regime change had been effectively accomplished, even if the regime still bore the same.
Well when I saw this I immediately thought what a a perfect metaphor for Socialism. You get up at the crack of dawn, plant your ass in a cold river use your skills and wiles to reel in a big fish only to have a huge dangerous beast of a smelly Commie bear grab it from you as you wet yourself in fear that if you don't hand it over and beat a hasty retreat you'll be mauled to death.

Like all good Marxists, these “ends-justify-the-means” leftists show an utter lack of principle: if two new red states wished to join the U.S., they would lecture us on the sanctity of a 50-state union. If they were a permanent Senate minority, they would, as in the past, honor the filibuster. If they had lost the popular vote in two recent elections but won the Electoral College, they would praise the wisdom of the Founders. If they had their Earl Warren-era majority again, they would laud the continuity of the 157-year-old nine-justice Supreme Court. . . Recently, on cable news, the national co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, Megan Romer, was asked a series of questions about her group’s published agenda. Far from denying its communist radicalism, she gleefully confirmed it all—from destroying the border to ending prisons, the military, and the police. . .

If we do not stop them we will be facing mass graves. The only question is will they be ours or theirs? Either way not something I ever anticipated I'd have to contemplate. Oh well.

In October 2025, it was reported that illegal immigration had fallen to a record low. This represents a significant rebound from earlier in the year.

ICE Detentions Hit New Monthly Record.
There are up to 30 million illegal aliens in the United States, but it is difficult to get an exact number precisely because they didn’t go through vetting to enter our country, and Democrats are not interested in being honest with statistics on the subject. Indeed, since somewhere between nine million and 20 million illegal aliens entered just under Joe Biden, it is possible that more than 30 million illegal aliens have entered the United States within the last half a century. The point is, we don’t know for certain what the numbers are, but we do know they are massive. That is why mass deportations are so important.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.
