BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to REOPEN the human trafficking case against illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia through the appeals court after charges were previously dropped.

Maryland Man Must Go.


Democrats are pretending that they want to distance themselves from their violent foreign terrorist influencer, Hasan Piker.

The debate over Piker blew up over the weekend when Rolling Stone published an extensive profile on him that included an overview of his upbringing in Turkey, his morning routine and a glamorous photoshoot at his Los Angeles home with the headline, "Why Is Everyone Scared of Hasan Piker?"

Some conservatives, including co-host of ABC's The View, Alyssa Farrah Griffin, re-upped their criticism of Piker in response to the weekend attention, with Farrah alleging the "Piker phenomena" is a "desperate desire on the Left to find its own Joe Rogan/ Manosphere powerhouse" and Elon Musk tweeting "he means what he says," quoting Piker saying "we're going to destroy the white race," a statement he made mocking right-wing conspiracies.

Alyssa Farrah Griffin is a "conservative"?

Some centrist Democrats called on progressives to distance themselves, such as MS NOW's Joe Scarborough, who referenced some of Piker's most controversial anti-Israel rhetoric while discussing Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary on Monday, accusing progressives more broadly of being "too woke to call out the obvious."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., when asked by ABC News over the weekend if Piker should have a role in the progressive movement, didn't answer directly, but lamented that Democrats need to do more to reach young voters, who "are engaging in mediums and conversations that we have a responsibility to attend to and be responsive to."

Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is among multiple progressives who have appeared with Piker online or campaigned with him, including Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

El-Sayed's affiliation with Piker in particular has prompted sharp criticism from moderate Democrats, including Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who told El-Sayed via a Fox News interview last week, "I dare you to continue to campaign with people like Hasan Piker," while longtime Democratic strategist James Carville threatened to leave the Democratic Party earlier this month if Piker didn't, and Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., also blasted El-Sayed for campaigning with Piker.

Hasan Piker admits that the Democrats are practicing taqiyya. He says Democrats are doubling down on their extremist policies while merely "moderating our comms," that is, rhetoric.

Max 📟 @MaxNordau

Aug 11

Abdul El-Sayed surrogate Hasan Piker explains the importance of lying to voters:

"I think our politicians, whether they be AOC or anybody else, they're not running away from progress."

"So their pragmatism isn't to moderate on their policies. Their pragmatism is to moderate on their comms, on their communication."

He admits that El-Sayed's true beliefs are "electoral poison": "You got to moderate your message, even if you don't want to temper your movement, in order to sell it to the public."

Coming soon: "Hasan Piker 1.0 was craaazy, man. But Hasan Piker 2.0 is moderate and sensible and electable."

Hm, I wonder if Hasan Piker is right that the Woke 1 Was Crazy Brigade is moderating their comms while sticking to their extremist positions?

Polymarket @Polymarket

JUST IN: AOC is distancing herself from past positions on defunding police, prison abolition, & decriminalizing border crossings ahead of a potential 2028 run. -- Axios

Objective analysis from Andrew Stiles: "Real man" Chinese communist and terror dick-suck Hasan Piker whines like a loser and grovels like a bitch.

Polling suggested Piker was on track to celebrate another victory last week in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary. The radical leftist he endorsed, Francesca Hong, was expected to win by double digits. She ended up narrowly losing to an establishment-backed opponent, David Crowley.

Piker responded by throwing a tantrum. He lashed out at "the fucking national media" and "the median American voter" for sabotaging Hong's campaign. "Fuck 'em and fuck Thanksgiving," he huffed, referring to Hong's view that the holiday should be canceled because it celebrates "colonialism" and the murder of "Indegenous [sic] folx [sic]."

Then, like a total bitch, Piker practically begged the Democratic Party--an institution he has ruthlessly attacked as insufficiently sympathetic to Hamas, Luigi Mangione, Mao Zedong, and Fidel Castro, among others--to stop being so mean to him.

Piker, relentlessly pushed by the leftwing media as the left's answer to the Masculinity Deficit, whined that Democrats need to defend him more when people say bad things on Twitter!

"I know we don't always see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but you have to literally, at some point, I know you don't want to do this, defend me," Piker groveled pathetically. "Not because you love what I have to say, not because I'm part of this coalition, even though I am, whether you like it or not, but you are going to inevitably have to say, 'This is a ridiculous conversation that we're having, because the real conversation that Republicans don't want to have is the cost of living crisis.'"

I get the feeling that this guy has a folder on his computer called "Taxes 2021," and inside that folder is a subfolder called "Show Ideas," and inside that subfolder is another folder called "Scalding-Hot Poop Videos."

Just a feeling I get. I haven't seen his computer. The Jews haven't leaked it to me.

Yet.

The millionaire influencer went on to say it would be helpful if Democrats could be "a little bit more honest about how I'm not this dangerous, toxic radical force" whose radical views will hurt the party in general election matchups with Republicans. Meanwhile, Piker's establishment critics do not seem particularly eager to concede that point. In Michigan, for example, recent polling shows the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate, Mike Rogers, leading El-Sayed by several percentage points in a race that--on paper--Democrats should be heavily favored to win.

A lot is riding on the outcome. If El-Sayed wins, Democrats will be the ones groveling. They'll agree to Piker's terms and give him a speaking slot at the 2028 convention. If Rogers wins, Democrats will be pretty annoyed and looking for someone to blame. Piker's feelings may never recover.

He's gayer than a spaghetti-strap t-shirt with the words "Free Mustache Rides" on it above a line-art drawing of Freddie Mercury sucking a whippit.

Evidence: Piker, his terror pal El-Sayed, Chris Hayes, and Democrat Senator John Ostorov are all "dandymaxxing," wearing metrosexual or even full-on gay fashion to appeal to male voters.

I mean... Sure, whatever you gotta do, Kings.

Police stopped another attempted mass invasion of Ceuta.

Note that the socialist president doesn't want to stop the invasion, but other European countries are economically isolating Spain over his mass-amnesty policies, so he has to make a token effort.

Moroccan police have blocked a second attempt by migrants to cross the border into Ceuta en masse.

Riot police were deployed at the border on Saturday as hundreds prepared to storm the Spanish territory, two weeks after tens of thousands made the crossing.

Migrants gathered in the border town of Castillejos after calls were made on social media encouraging a second attempt.

Moroccan police arrested about 300 people, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, for attempting to cross into Ceuta. Another 61 people were arrested for "inciting and promoting" on social media, reports said.


This follows the incident on July 30 which saw at least 72,000 people pour across the border in an attempt to illegally enter Europe through one of its only land borders with Africa.

At least 88 people died in the attempt, with many drowning or being crushed to death, in what was described as the single largest illegal influx into the EU. Most of those who reached Ceuta were returned to Morocco, but some remain in the exclave.

"Some" remain? That's the spin. It's thousands:

Fantastic: Somali Immigrant Named "Oustanding Refugee Award for Entrepreneurship" by Minnesota Charged With Stealing US Taxpayer Money Through Medicaid Fraud (and Also Running a Sex Trafficking Ring)

—Disinformation Expert Ace

It's almost as if a foreign pirate's idea of "entrepreneurship" and "hard work" is simply stealing from the Stupid Whiteys who took pity on him.

In 2021, Salman Ahmed Elmi was awarded the Outstanding Refugee Award for Entrepreneurship by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Now, he's facing charges in connection with a Medicaid fraud scheme with alleged ties to a sex trafficking ring.


Elmi, a native of Somalia, was charged last week with three counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle and five counts of aiding and abetting theft by false representation.

Prosecutors allege Elmi and three associates -- Frank Reeves, Viktoriya Komonash and Andrea Sampson -- ran four agencies that they used to bill more than $4.5 million to Medicaid since 2023. Those agencies were called Reva Health, Reva Autism, Helpful Housing and Homefelt Assisted Living.

Elmi and his associates allegedly recruited young women who were homeless or struggling with addiction, housing or finances. They then rented apartments in the women's names using fake pay stubs and enlisted them in a pay-for-sex scheme. Investigators say they've been tracking the alleged sex trafficking ring since 2019. Sampson and Reeves were arrested as part of the sex trafficking ring bust last week.

Well, that is certainly outstanding.

The group then began stealing victims' identities to bill Medicaid in their name, according to court filings.

Prosecutors say Elmi billed Medicaid for more than $1 million in services that were not provided or not eligible. He and his co-conspirators are accused of falsifying documents to get Medicaid reimbursements.

Elmi was released from custody on Monday, though a judge ordered him to surrender his passport and remain in Minnesota.

About that last part: Soros-connected "prosecutor" Steve Descano of ultra-blue Fairfax County, VA, helped an Islamist killer flee the country.

In yet another jaw-dropping illustration of soft-on-crime progressive "justice," Fairfax County's Soros-linked prosecutor Steve Descano reportedly pushed a judge to spring an illegal alien Islamic extremist -- already found not guilty by reason of insanity for fatally stabbing his landlord -- so the man could be driven to the Tajikistan embassy in Washington, D.C. for a foreign passport.

Not long after, the same killer was handed an unescorted 48-hour "weekend pass" from a Northern Virginia psych ward and promptly used it to board a one-way flight out of the country.

No, we're not making this up.

Abdulrahman El-Sayed Was Set to Appear at Islamic Conference with Pro-Pedophilia Imam; Now the Pedo Cleric Is Booted, But They're Keeping the Islamist Who Called the Holocaust a "Hoax"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

As Hasan Piker said of Michigan voters: "You're all piece of shit Islamophobes" for noticing.

Abdul El-Sayed To Headline Islamic Event Alongside Pakistani Cleric Who Forced His 13-Year-Old Niece Into Marriage, Was Denounced for 'Pedophilic Rhetoric'


Tariq Masood urged his congregants to marry off their own female children and invoked Sharia law on the question of women's education


Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will spend Labor Day weekend alongside a Jew-hating Pakistani cleric who has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and admitted to forcing his 13-year-old niece into marriage.

El-Sayed is scheduled to speak at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) 63rd annual convention, held in Detroit from Sept. 4-7. El-Sayed, whose father-in-law is a founding member of the ISNA--which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood--will speak Sept. 5 on the oddly titled panel, "Cultivating God Awareness in a Turmoiled America," according to an itinerary.

The convention features a rogues' gallery of notorious Muslim figures who've engaged in Holocaust denial and the persecution of Christians and have also been unindicted co-conspirators in terror plots, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. But one speaker stands out for his particularly noxious record: Tariq Masood, an influential Pakistani cleric who is also on the ISNA roster.

Masood, a "mufti" qualified to issue religious laws, is scheduled to speak on a panel about "avoiding mental illness in youth," including how parents "can prevent or minimize the impact of any trauma leading to a mental illness."

The topic is an unusual fit for Masood, given his past advocacy of child marriage.

According to multiple Pakistani media reports, Masood in 2021 admitted in a sermon that he forced his 13-year-old niece into marriage, and advised his followers to do the same with their young female relatives. Masood also said it was a husband's decision whether or not his wife can go to college or must remain a housewife, citing Sharia, or Islamic religious law. In 2024, Canadian activists urged the government to block Masood's visa to the country over his "pedophilic rhetoric."

Masood has also promoted inflammatory views about Jews.

In a 2024 sermon titled "The Final Humiliation of the Jews," Masood said, according to translations of the event, that Jews' "cunning minds" had worked to bring the world under their control.

The terrorists realized that Michigan voters might not appreciate Islam's views on forced child marriage, so they disinvited this guy.

But they're keeping the Holocaust denier. On that hill they will of course die force their children to stand on so that they may be killed as propaganda puppets.

Islamic Group Pulls Pakistani Cleric Known for 'Pedophilic Rhetoric' From Convention Featuring Abdul El-Sayed--But Keeps Imam Who Called Holocaust 'Hoax'


The Islamic Society of North America convention also features an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing


A Pakistani cleric who admitted to forcing his 13-year-old niece into marriage will no longer appear at the Islamic Society of North America's annual convention, where Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is scheduled to speak over Labor Day weekend. But El-Sayed will still share the stage with plenty of controversial speakers, including Islamic scholars who have called the Holocaust a "hoax," accused Israel of bankrolling ISIS, and defended the practice of sex slavery and marital rape.

Tariq Masood was slated to speak on a panel about youth mental health but "is no longer speaking at the convention," ISNA said Monday following a Washington Free Beacon report on the influential cleric, who has defended child marriage and admitted that he forced his young niece to get married, remarks that prompted Canadian activists to urge their government to block Masood's visa to the country in 2024 over his "pedophilic rhetoric." The report stoked outcry against El-Sayed, who has sought to cast Republicans as "pedophile protectors" for allegedly blocking the release of Jeffrey Epstein files.

...

While Masood seems to have crossed a rhetorical red line for ISNA and El-Sayed, the convention will still feature a number of speakers with records of extremism. That could further fuel concerns about El-Sayed's connections to Islamic extremists. El-Sayed, who is running against Republican Mike Rogers, has already faced scrutiny over his father-in-law Tayeb Jukaku's position on the founding committee of ISNA, which the federal government identified as a public-facing group for the Muslim Brotherhood and linked to the financing of Hamas, the Free Beacon reported.

Texas-based imam Yasir Qadhi, who will appear on several panels over the weekend, has called the Holocaust a "hoax" and said Adolf Hitler "never intended to mass-destroy the Jews." He currently works as a booker on the Tucker Carlson podcast.

I added that last sentence. It's true in spirit.

AbdulNasir Jangda, another Texas-based cleric who will speak on a panel with Qadhi, has defended the practice of sex slavery and said that husbands have a right under Islamic law to rape their wives, according to reports.

If you don't listen with an open mind to Islamic defenses of sexual slavery, you're an Islamophobe and Zionist, says Tucker Carlson, who just wants you to respect free speech (as long as that speech is from Muslim terrorists and Nazis).

...

Qazwini, the head of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, recently prayed in a sermon to "grant victory to our brothers in Iran" and "inflict defeat upon Your Zionist enemies."

...

Other convention speakers include Siraj Wahhaj, a New York-based imam who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

El-Sayed's father-in-law is a founder of an Islamic terror group.

Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, a top donor to a super PAC supporting the left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful, is among the top leaders of an Islamic organization identified by the federal government as a public facing group for the Muslim Brotherhood, a Washington Free Beacon review found. As part of his role with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the federal government linked to the financing of Hamas, Tayeb Jukaku contributes at least $5,000 to the organization annually.

Jukaku has served on the 20-member founding committee of ISNA since at least 2007, according to the organization's magazine, Islamic Horizons, and has been a member of the group for a "long time, cannot recall [when I joined]," according to Jukaku's online bio. Federal prosecutors identified the organization as an unindicted co-conspirator in the landmark 2007 terrorist financing case USA v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which culminated in the conviction of the foundation's founders for funneling $12 million to Hamas. They also identified the ISNA as one of eight entities "who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood."

Not just his father-in-law -- his mother is a terrorist, too.

From midwesterner.news:

Jacqueline El-Sayed married El-Sayed's father, Mohamed El-Sayed, not long after he immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980s with Fatten Fathy Elkomy, the U.S. Senate candidate's birth mother.

"They ended up getting divorced," El-Sayed said of his birth parents during a 2017 speech before the Islamic Foundation. "And my mother, she remarried a gentleman who was working as a translator in the Middle East and moved back to the Middle East."

From 1999 through at least 2004, Elkomy worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, also known as the Islamic African Relief Agency, which operated over 40 offices throughout the world ostensibly focused on health care, orphans, and disadvantaged people in areas of conflict.

In October 2004, the U.S. Department of Treasury designated the worldwide network, along with five senior officials, as an organization supporting terrorism, including support for Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.

It's almost as if all of these people have deep ties to the worldwide Islamic terror network and are infiltrated into the US to subvert it from the inside.

El-Sayed is now trailing Republican Mike Rogers -- but only by a smidge.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten warned Democrats their Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is "historically unpopular" and could be throwing a "lifeline" to Republicans.

Enten broke down numbers out of Michigan's Senate race on Friday and highlighted some "troubling" figures for Republicans hoping to defeat Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat, recently won his primary against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI).

Citing a Fox News survey, Enten noted Rogers is leading El-Sayed by four points overall and five points among independents (the poll has a margin of error of three points).

This, he argued, is "extremely unusual" and highlights how unpopular El-Sayed is as a candidate:

This is extremely unusual because across the political map, as I was looking at these different Fox News polls, I couldn't find another example where the Republican was actually leading among independents.

And it turns out that candidate quality may in fact, matter, at least in terms of how voters see it, because in this same poll, the Democratic candidate for governor was ahead. So this is unique to the Senate race, and it is quite a troubling result for Democrats and quite a heartening one for Republicans.

El-Sayed, he added, is a "weak candidate," especially when you stack his net favorability against other Democrats in battleground states races.

Leftwing Shill Who Demanded the Deplatforming and De-Employment of Trump Staffers Fired by Forbes for Secretly Taking $6 Million from a Shady Sponsor

—Disinformation Expert Ace

They're all liars, swindlers, and thieves.



The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Forbes chief content officer Randall Lane was fired after "the company discovered that he had received a payment of about $6 million from the founder of a firm that does business with the magazine."

The payment was made after RJ Shook, the founder of the firm that worked with Forbes to publish wealth adviser rankings, "sold a majority stake in Shook Research to PPC Enterprises, a private equity firm, last August." Lane made himself a spectacle of anti-Trump furor in 2021 when he threatened companies that dared to hire people who formerly worked with President Donald Trump, such as former White House press secretaries Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, and Kayleigh McEnany.

Reading his virtue-signaling now about "truth reckoning" in light of his own duplicitous violation of journalistic ethics is poetic justice. At the time, Lane promised his outlet will "scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we'd approach a Trump tweet" any company that hires one of the forbidden Trumpsters in his arbitrary blacklist: "Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump's fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie."

Lane doubled down on his threats: "Want to ensure the world's biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away," Lane quipped.

...

It would take but a few years before Lane nuked his own "credibility" and "reputation" as a judge of character into orbit. The Times outlined the clear Forbes company policies that emphasize the gravity of Lane's undisclosed conflict of interest:

Forbes has policies requiring its employees to seek permission before conducting outside business activities and prohibiting them from gaining personally -- directly or indirectly -- from the company's business dealings, according to a copy of the employee handbook obtained by The New York Times. Traditional newsrooms usually forbid journalists to accept payments from sources or business partners to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict.

Oof! Not even a defibrillator could resuscitate Lane's image as a journalist at this point.

Literally every picture of him shows him in this gay hat:

randalllanehat.png

What a card. He's got a masculine, John Waters kind of energy.

Unrelated: Commenters are discussing this bust of a frat-connected cocaine ring at Penn State.

The 24-year-old alleged ringleader of a Penn State cocaine ring has turned himself in to police, Pennsylvania authorities revealed Tuesday.

Agostino Abbatiello surrendered himself to face charges of possession with intent to deliver (cocaine) and conspiracy after being busted for allegedly running a complex cocaine trafficking ring out of two separate fraternities.

The Long Island native -- who was at the "very top of the chain" in the crime ring, prosecutors claim -- had failed to show up for a Monday arraignment and is now being held without bail.

Alleged co-conspirator Thomas Robinson and two others have been charged with felony corrupt organizations, conspiracy, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity, and related offenses, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office said.

More than a dozen Penn State frat brothers were busted for running the ring that forced young pledges to cut and bag the drugs then sold to students, according to prosecutors.

The fraternities, Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon, allegedly coordinated with suppliers in New York and Philadelphia, trafficking in the cocaine and distributing it mainly to Penn State students.

Prepare for a Non-Shock: Staffer for Rejected Liberal RINO John Cornyn Joins James Talarico Campaign

—Disinformation Expert Ace

They spend years lying to us about being conservative, and after we eject them, they confirm that we were right all along.


James Talarico Poaches Cornyn Staffer

Poaches? I suspect this traitor went running to his real political allies.

Cross-party hires are rare, but the move could show the Senate Democratic campaign is hoping to reach out to Republicans in reliably red Texas.


Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's campaign hired a staffer from Republican Sen. John Cornyn, NOTUS has learned.

Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is taking on the role of deputy policy director for Talarico's campaign.

"I've worked for Republicans like Senator Cornyn my entire career, but this year I'm proud to be joining James Talarico's campaign," Smith confirmed in a statement through the Talarico campaign. "Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little. In the Senate, James will fight to lower costs for all 31 million Texans, whether they're Republicans, Democrats, or independents, so that Texans of all ages have a fighting chance at the American Dream of starting a family, owning a home, and leaving a little behind for their children."

Smith also took aim at the GOP nominee, adding, "Ken Paxton is the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power. I'm encouraging all my fellow Republicans who know Ken Paxton is unfit to serve in the Senate to finally hold him accountable at the ballot box."

Smith previously worked on the House Science Committee for Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Oklahoma) and was a legislative aide for Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi).

When contacted for comment, a Cornyn spokesperson directed NOTUS to remarks the senator has made repeatedly in recent months where he's said he will "support the Republican ticket" in the fall.

Sure, sure.

Thanks to Buck Throckmorton.

Update:

Townhall.com @townhallcom

JAMES TALARICO: "With the SAVE Act, they are trying to rob our neighbors, strictly our black neighbors, of those God given rights."

So conservative.

Some of You Will Not Believe Me, but the WNBA Is Woke Trash Filled With Hyperthyroidal Clown Hookers

—Disinformation Expert Ace

If only the world were run by seethingly-angry toxic lesbians.

It would look just like the WNBA and be just as profitable.

WNBA backtracks after Sophie Cunningham fans ordered to remove 'XX-XY' shirts at game: 'fell short'

Atlanta Dream's State Farm Arena allegedly put fan in pro-transgender shirt on Jumbotron before security told mother and daughter they'd be removed if they didn't cover XX-XY shirts, a brand Sophie Cunningham had posed with.

By the way, can I mention a pet peeve? A long, long time ago it was unusual to see a sports team with a singular nickname. Like, "the Avalanche." Rather than a plural, like "the Jets."

You Old-Heads might, like me, remember the old "NASL" soccer league. That league featured a lot of teams with a singular nickname.

But this stopped being a novelty many, many years ago, as more and more teams adopted singular nicknames. In fact, it's now a cliche.

So of course the WNBA has to be the most cliched franchise on earth and feature mostly singular nicknames. Atlanta Dream. Connecticut Sun. Chicago Sky. Indiana Fever. New York Liberty. Phoenix Mercury. Portland Fire. Seattle Storm.

I had to look these up, you know. I can't name them off the top of my head like some commenters I could name but won't. (Garrett.)

The "singular team name" thing is only attention grabbing when there's one singular team name among many plural names.


It's so fucking gay and stupid.

Fights over silent protests against males in women's sports have jumped from the high school soccer field to the professional basketball arena, as the WNBA wrings its hands over the meaning of "women" with just six weeks until the playoffs and eight months before a draft that could include NBA veterans who claim eligibility under league rules.

Fans of gender-critical Indiana Fever sharpshooter Sophie Cunningham allege that security ordered them to cover up their XX-XY Athletics shirts, which promote female-only sports, at Sunday's Atlanta Dream home game against the visiting Fever at State Farm Arena, where Cunningham celebrated her 30th birthday with an overtime win.

This was despite the fact that Cunningham appeared with XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey, the 1986 U.S. Women's All-Around National Champion gymnast, and Riley Gaines, the former collegiate swimmer, at a Minnesota Lynx game soon after Cunningham endorsed female-only sports in an ESPN profile.

Minnesota Lynx, another one. But maybe "lynx" is also a plural. But if so, it's plural selected to sound singular.

Both the WNBA and Dream confirmed the incident late Monday, saying fans were wrongly asked by league security -- not the team's personnel -- to cover their shirts, but did not mention the content of the clothing.

"This should not have happened," a league spokesperson told Front Office Sports.

"The Atlanta Dream believes in creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Unfortunately, at last night's game, WNBA security took actions that fell short of that standard," the team said.

...

It represents an escalation in response since Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton allegedly cursed out teenage Cunningham fans in XX-XY Athletics gear, also holding signs thanking her for "speaking up for girls," when the Fever visited the Storm last month. Cunningham shamed Keaton on social media.

Seattle journalist Brandi Kruse, who helped organize a pro-Cunningham rally outside the game, reported the girls weren't told to cover the shirts or hide the signs. She said Climate Pledge Arena security refused to remove Keaton for harassing fans, though the WNBA suspended her for five home games for unspecified behavior.

"They gave us t-shirts during overtime and told us we had to leave or cover our [XX-XY] shirts up," an unidentified woman who attended Sunday's Fever-Dream game with her teenage daughter told conservative activist Adam Francisco after the game.

The daughter said they paid $1,000 each for their seats on floor 3, row C, three rows from the court, to support Cunningham and girls' sports.

"We did nothing. We were just sitting there," the mother said, adding that she had wanted to make signs supporting Cunningham but refrained so as not to ruffle feathers at the game. Their shirts have variations of the XX-XY logo on the front, and on the daughter's Riley Gaines collaboration shirt, "for the girls" on the back.

$1000 a seat? Are you all insane? To watch what are essentially boys high school players, only butcher?

The Morning Rant: What Don't You Understand About Socialists?

—CBD

punk-monkey.jpg

The idea that Socialism is just another political philosophy is embedded in a certain segment of our country. You know...the morons. "Sure! Let's try it out! Maybe it will work!" These are the ignorant among us who never learned a damned thing about the evils of socialism, because their teachers were crypto-socialists...or as is increasingly common...out-and-proud!

That speaks to two issues. The first is the complete takeover of the educational apparatus by the progressive movement. And the second is the pathetic state of the intellects who are drawn to teaching. Anyone know a serious and intelligent teacher? Sure...they exist. But there aren't many of them.

The reality is that socialism is not a political philosophy that seeks to manage the functions of government. It is a political philosophy that seeks to seize the reins of power and manipulate society to its own ends. The smooth functioning of government operations is nowhere to be found. Rather, those operations are co-opted into the process of converting everything into a vehicle for furthering the aims of socialism.

That the editorial board of the New York Post doesn't understand this basic premise is terrifying indeed! Notice that "socialism" or "DSA" isn't mentioned once in this editorial.

Mayor Klutz — what’s behind Mamdani’s long string of fumbles, failures and fiascos

The mayor has reportedly turned thin-skinned and shouty behind closed doors, and it’s easy to see why: He’s in over his head, with a staff dominated by fellow tunnel-visioned lefties.

Too bad it’s the rest of us who pay the worst price for Mayor Klutz’s misrule.


So the real issue is that Mamdani is an idiot and an incompetent?

No...it isn't. Mamdani doesn't give a rat's ass whether NYC runs efficiently. His only goal is the consolidation of government resources in furtherance of his personal goals: the ascendance of socialism, and the ascendance of Islamism. That the wider culture might see him as a buffoon is meaningless. He is busily taking control of the money, and directing it to his supporters within the city government and outside of government in the thousands of NGOs that orbit NYC's vast amounts of cash. They are the ones who will promote his policies among the various racial and ethnic divisions in NYC.

New York City voted for him. Or more correctly; New York City didn't bother to vote, and got a socialist, terror-supporting Shia 12er as Mayor. And Mamdani's only goal is to continue the policies that will get him reelected, and consolidate Islam and socialism in NYC. That the NY Post doesn't understand this is an embarrassment.

Good morning kids. If you can't see where this is heading, you're blind. Or a co-conspirator!

what happens and the life or death consequences when they take officers who are untrained and given a directive that is very far from protecting the public,” Wu said.

Boston has “already done everything possible” to stop ICE from accessing public property, the mayor said, adding that the city “will be doing whatever we can to communicate with private property owners.”

The Department of Homeland Security responded to Wu’s plan Monday, saying the “pro-criminal mayor” is “trying to intimidate Bostonians,” knowing “she has ZERO authority to block ICE from utilizing private property.”

The immediate evil of sic-ing the government on the citizenry is obvious, the tax assessors will be out in force or else some sort of zoning or other concocted civil penalties will be used against innocent people to prevent legitimate law enforcement from doing the exact opposite of what Michelle Wu and her ilk have blood libeled them. That is, the apprehension and removal of illegal alien invaders, some of them probably violent criminals. Naturally, Massachusetts is a solidly blue state and so the courts and state government will be squarely behind Michelle Wu, should citizens seek redress at that level, and likely not get it,

The horrible and bitter irony is that Massachusetts was one of the cradles of the American revolution. And 250 years on look what the hell it's devolved into.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Maycon Souto Dos Reis, a Brazilian national convicted of aggravated murder, in Massachusetts on August 3. Dos Reis had fled Brazil after being sentenced to over 14 years in prison and entered the U.S. illegally in June 2024, where he was initially apprehended but released under Biden government policies. . The arrest occurred in Massachusetts on August 3, 2024, just two days before Governor Maura Healey signed the PROTECT Act, which imposes new restrictions on ICE operations in the Bay State. . . “This is yet another example of what the media often characterizes as a non-criminal, when in reality, many of these individuals are murderers, sexual predators, gang members, and more: They simply do not have a criminal record in the United States.” – David Wesling, Acting ICE ERO Boston Field Office Director

Maura Healy, who just signed this abomination into law!

The bill allows unborn babies to be aborted throughout pregnancy and strikes down the state’s 24-week limit, which had exceptions for the life of the mother and a deadly fetal diagnosis. Under the bill, doctors have the discretion to decide whether or not to perform a late-term abortion. . . Several Massachusetts... Democrats Break with Party over ‘Barbaric’ New Law Legalizing Abortions Up Until Birth.


But of course a corrupt government is one thing, but I'd lay better than even odds that the names and addresses of anyone who wants to lease space to ICE or the he DHS will somehow wind up in the hands of Antifa, La Raza and any and all other Leftist/Democrat approved and or aligned official-unofficial terror squads. Bad enough a criminal government will tax you out of existence but failing that, a molotov cocktail or two through your window is a hell of a lot more persuasive, nein?!

Have a good day,

Trump's tariffs on Canada are about to hit. Suddenly our Gay Race Communist neighbors want to negotiate.

Facing President Donald Trump's crippling tariff threat that's set to come into effect on Wednesday, Canada is continuing to negotiate a trade deal that will allow it to avoid the tariffs and get additional relief on existing tariffs in key sectors.

However, despite meetings between Canadian and American negotiators over the last three weeks, the two countries can't move beyond an impasse in these last days, the CBC reported.

Negotiators fear there may be no way to avoid the 50% tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods, the CBC's source said. Washington isn't budging on its demands while the Canadian government hopes to convince provinces to lift restrictions on American alcohol.

Trump imposed the tariffs due to what he said is discrimination toward U.S. automobile, dairy and alcohol sectors.

Oof: Nancy Mace shows off her full-sleeve tattoos. Feminist women are really determined to uglify themselves to Defeat the Male Gaze.

NY Post:

Nancy Mace reveals why she got 9 tattoos in 'rapid succession' while serving in Congress

I'm going to guess: Typical mental breakdown of a feminist white woman reverting to 8th grade patterns of self-harm?

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has gotten nine tattoos as a member of Congress because getting inked provides "the pain that I need to feel," the congresswoman said in a revealing profile released on Friday.

The 48-year-old congresswoman got the tattoos in "rapid succession" between a period in late 2023 and early 2024, marked by the breakup with her fiancé and an exodus of staffers from her office, some of whom viewed working for Mace as "toxic," according to Politico.

Aside from a need to feel "pain," Mace described getting tattoos as a way to "reclaim" her body and identity.


One of her nine tattoos is the opening line of Virginia Woolf's famous novel, "Mrs. Dalloway."

Woolf, as Politico pointed out, committed suicide in 1941 over fears "she was going mad."

"So my story is I am totally broken," the congresswoman and South Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate is quoted as saying in the profile.

Mace details the strained relationship she has with her father, her struggles in becoming the first female graduate at The Citadel and alleged instances of sexual molestation and rape that she's been the victim of throughout the piece.

"I have PTSD over what I've been through," she said.

So yes, she was cutting herself so that she could feel alive.

What do I win?

I cannot wait until this toxic basket-case is out of public life.

Alas, that will never happen. She will just go the way of Marjorie Trailer-Queen, and become an "Influencer" claiming to be "true MAGA" while attacking MAGA.

All because we disagreed with these talentless narcissists about how important they were to the movement.


Of course:

Plans to ban white swimmers from Berlin public pool trigger backlash


A Berlin pool was forced to cancel an event that excluded white swimmers after it faced a backlash.

The Volksbühne, a theatre in the city centre, was allocated [Euro]300,000 (£255,000) of taxpayers' money to open a "people's swimming pool", which it initially pledged would be "open for all who are seeking to cool down in the increasingly hot Berlin summers".

But the Volksbüaut;hne advertised an event scheduled for Friday in which the pool would be open "exclusively to black communities" for six hours as part of a collaboration with the non-governmental organisation Each One Teach One.

Oh, an NGO pushing Third World Supremacy. What a surprise.

Stefan Evers, the city's finance minister, who is running as the Christian Democrat candidate for mayor, said: "I don't believe in dividing people by skin colour."

He added: "I understood the 'People's Swimming Pool' as a swimming pool for everyone."


The move was also opposed by Christoph Meyer, the centre-Right Free Democratic Party candidate, who said: "Public spaces must bring society together, not segregate people based on skin colour."

Elif Eralp, the Left Party's candidate for mayor and the current front-runner in September's election, defended the exclusion of white swimmers, saying: "On Friday, an association has booked the pool for its members legally. In doing so, the People's Swimming Pool provides access for people who are frequently affected by exclusion and racism. Labelling this as a form of discrimination is very revealing."


Steffen Krach, the Social Democratic Party candidate, added: "One can debate the decision made by the [event organisers], but not at the expense of people of colour."

The event has since been cancelled, with the theatre complaining that it had become a "target of Right-wing and racist incitement".

This scorching summer has broken records for Germany's hottest day ever, and 12,500 people, mostly aged 85 or older, have died owing to the extreme heat, according to the Robert Koch Institute.

Defund Fake "Education"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Why are we extorting money from taxpayers to take normal children and turn them into stupid and uneducated by completely arrogant mental patients?

Universities threaten students with investigations, disciplinary actions over 'deadnaming' Several U.S. colleges and universities, including CSU Northridge, the University of Oregon, and the University at Buffalo, have adopted policies that classify 'deadnaming' transgender students as harassment.

Deadnaming is the act of referring to a transgender- or nonbinary-identifying individual by his or her birth name rather than the name the individual currently uses after 'transitioning.'

...


If deadnaming occurs on campus, CSU Northridge states on its "Office of Equity & Compliance (Title IX)" website that if faculty or fellow students deadname or fail to use a person's chosen pronouns, hearings can be held following a report to the office.

CSU Northridge's website adds that "If a violation is found, discipline through the relevant counterparts will be discussed."

On a University of Oregon website, the public university's "Prohibited Discrimination and Retaliation" policy allows officials to categorize deadnaming as harassment. It specifies that instances qualify as harassment when there is "intentional or repeated deadnaming or misgendering."

...

Other universities, including private institutions such as Tufts University, also have policies on deadnaming and "misgendering" for students and faculty.

The University at Buffalo states on its "Preferred/Chosen Names and Pronouns" web page that it "recognizes that individuals may use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves."

Universities have time for this deplorable bullshit, of course, because they've done such a great job teaching students in the basics.

Oh wait, no they haven't at all, have they?

I teach calculus at Berkeley. Some of my students can't do middle school math

Since the University of California abandoned the SAT and ACT, thousands of faculty say it's admitting students who aren't prepared for the coursework. Will UC listen?

...

I teach mathematics at UC Berkeley. Three days a week, I stand in front of lecture halls with 500 to 1,400 students. By the second week of the semester, I already know who is in trouble. Some students are five to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours that should be spent discussing integrals instead become lessons on fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to learn in middle school.K/b>

...


Before 2020, Berkeley administered a diagnostic exam to incoming Calculus I students. Between 2018 and 2020, 71% of roughly 2,200 students tested as ready or nearly ready for calculus. At the bottom of the distribution there was almost nobody. Just 0.14% tested below basic algebra.

After UC adopted test-blind admissions, the picture changed dramatically.
Berkeley Calculus I readiness, before and after test-blind admissions

ALEKS placement data shows 11.6% severe deficits and 71% near or ready in calculus. MDTP results show 33% severe deficits and 51% near or ready in topics passed.

...

The classroom itself changed shape.


Before 2020, most students clustered toward the "ready" end of the spectrum, with only a tiny tail at the bottom. Afterward, the middle hollowed out, and the weakest students became the largest single group. We didn't end up with one somewhat weaker calculus class. We ended up teaching two different classes in one lecture hall: one for students who were prepared for college calculus and one for students who needed remedial mathematics that nobody had scheduled.


...


The people arguing this test-blind policy on television, in committee meetings, and in politics do not stand in front of 700 students three times a week or grade a first midterm with a pre-curved D/F average.

We do.

...

"The test-blind policy was a well-intentioned experiment," she wrote, "but the reality in our classrooms shows that it has failed." Admitting students who are unprepared, she warned, "sets them up for discouraging struggle. ... We cannot afford another cycle of administrative delay."

That last sentence is at the heart of this debate.

What's the worse that can happen?

Oh right, students might wind up Jason Ardaying themselves.

"Racism Did This:" Jason Arday's Uneducated Racist "Students" Learned One Thing From Him -- Just Blame Whites and The World Is Your Oyster

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Any standards of qualification, performance, or public behavior have a "disparate impact" on some "communities" and are therefore racist.

The only "fair" and "equitable" standard is none at all. In order to be radically equitable, we must embrace feral savagery and anti-civilization.

How about no, Scott?

Roger Kimball:

Who was to blame? A curious subhead to a story in The Wall Street Journal seems to me to get the question completely wrong. "Jason Arday's academic rise and fall set off a debate about whether he was a plagiarist or victim of a racial witch hunt."

Are you, like me, sick of the left pretending that the Woke AF Wall Street Journal is "conservative"?

But that is a false dichotomy. There is no doubt that Arday was a plagiarist. And far from being the victim of "a racial witch hunt," he was the victim of his own lies and intemperate behavior. And let's not forget that his fabulations were directed not only at aggrandizing himself. He was also perfectly happy to play the race card to damage others, as when he complained to the police that journalists who were investigating his credentials were guilty of harassing him. The police duly opened a four-month-long investigation into a journalist who was simply going about his job.

Outside of certain mystery novels, where the villain is discovered and then presented with a weapon and a private moment to "do the right thing," suicide cannot help but be a shocking eventuality. One cannot--at least, I cannot--help but feel bad for Arday and his family, which includes his widow, two young children, and his parents. Nevertheless, I cannot exonerate him. Why? A multi-part inventory compiled on X and presented in clipped, asyndetonic style contains the answer. Here are some of the items, presented under the rubric "Be Jason Arday":

>claim police traced a severed pig's head at your parents' house to a butcher who'd sold a "whole hog" that morning

>have the butcher say no officer ever came in

>have the Met call the whole tale "categorically incorrect"

>say you're experiencing a modern day lynching on a podcast

>have the ASA make your speaking agency strip unbacked claims

>hire Carter-Ruck [a law firm] & get Times Higher Education to kill a finished story

>report their journalist to Scotland Yard for emailing you questions about your record

>have officers tell him to stop, your mental health was hurt

>report a retired professor too, have Devon & Cornwall decline to bother

>have the Met chief later admit "we dropped the ball on that one"

>get cleared by a panel you asked to weigh the "war on critical race theory"

>have 188 matching sentences called an honest & reasonable error

>do keynote on the playbook conservatives use to hunt black academics b/c beyond reproach

>have the Times find participant 11 in study is three different people

>have the same quotes come out of different mouths 25 times across three papers

>have false funding declarations

>have an outside expert say there is no question the plagiarism is extensive

>have a Cambridge autism professor send round "URGENT PLEASE SIGN ANTI RACISM LETTER"

>get 13,000 names & three Cambridge heads vouching for text they never read

>have Cambridge call it a "vile smear campaign"

>blame autistic mimicry, a l supervisor who left, & one you never met

>call the campaign racially motivated

>say "what I am not is a liar"

>turn 600 miles of margarine in six days into twelve

>have Anglia Ruskin edit your citation page the day the [Nathan] Cofnas piece dropped

>get Solent to delete the running claims

>have the TEDx video go private

>have your Jesus College page quietly turn Professorial Fellow into l Fellow & a Liverpool master's vanish

>have academics call for a regulator probe, have the Office for Students decline to comment

>have Cambridge open a probe into your qualifications & honorary appointments

>have Jesus College open its own

>quit both on the spot

>put the letter out through the Good Law Project

>have the letter promise you'll return stronger & wiser

>have the letter come back 100% AI

>have Jesus College drop its probe the moment you quit

>have the Good Law Project boss keep defending you, chalking it all up to neurodivergence

>have the ghostwritten memoir come out in the US anyway, after a 1.4m pre-empt

>have the UK edition still set for Aug 27

>have Cambridge order an outside audit of how you were ever hired

>have Durham & Glasgow open probes of their own

>commit suicide

>have people portray you as a victim?

Whatever else can be said about the "Jason Arday Affair," he was not the victim. Perhaps you can say he was the casualty, first, of his own mendacity and race-fired megalomania and second, of an educational establishment that, marinated in the anti-white, self-flagellating racial animosities of the moment, colluded in the construction of Arday's fantastical, self-aggrandizing, and ultimately self-destructive fantasies.

Kurt Schlichter on the latest race grift:

Fake Professor Jason Arday was found dead in the wake of being exposed as a complete fraud, and if it were my choice, he would still be alive and suffering the humiliation that should be the result of his crimes. I would prefer that he did not likely choose to kill himself instead of facing the consequences of his actions. My preference is irrelevant. If he decided to do himself in, it's crushing for his wife and kids, and that was a selfish, cruel, and stupid decision. But it was his decision, as was his decision to commit fraud upon fraud. I don't celebrate his death, and his death changes nothing. We're not going to stop rooting out the charlatans.

Of course, the entirely predictable response of the institutional left to his cowardly and apparent self-deletion has been to insist, loudly and with quivering outrage, that his death is our fault. You see, we normal people pointed out that he lied about his background, his achievements, his credentials, and his work. The fact that we did what a functioning institution should've done itself outraged his boosters, so these moral illiterates now invert the moral calculus to keep the exposure of academic fraud from happening again. Arday lied pathologically and endlessly, enabled by a ridiculously solicitous academia, then likely killed himself when his lies were exposed. Obviously, the villains are the people who did not lie and did not choose to end his life.

And you'll never guess their key accusation in a million years.

Okay, you guessed it: RACISM!


....

But let's be serious about these condescending leftists. They knew Arday was a phony. They also knew he was useful. His existence supported their narrative, so that irritating objective truth thing could be dispensed with. But he was never their peer; he was their pet. They tried to make Jason Arday into something he wasn't -- an intellectual and a genius -- because he was a good-looking black guy with the kind of lengthy dreads that send a tingle down the legs of childless liberal wine women who spend their endless free time reading Ibram X. Kendi's tomes (that relic of Woke 1.0 is yet another clown whose scamming was too much even for left-wing academia to bear) and doing the work to ameliorate their appalling residual whiteness.

...

The new party line is that we're to blame. It's our fault that Arday is dead. You see, if we hadn't told the truth about his many, many lies and exposed them, this never would have happened. And that's probably true, in a sense. He would've gone on being a celebrated icon of the left, though most of the left understood he was a joke and kept their laughter in check for the good of the movement.

...


We're not going to play their game. We're not going to hold fire for fear of feelz. We're not going to ignore the truth lest the liar lash out at himself or others. Sometimes the truth hurts, but the only people the truth hurts are people exposed doing something they shouldn't be doing. The truth is more important than feelings. And the truth is more important than Arday's life. If the choice we are presented with is that Jason Arday will go on living a lie and degrading our civilization by doing so, or that Jason Arday might hurt himself, it's Option 2 every day of the week. We're not going to be held hostage or intimidated or shamed into silence and, therefore, complicity.

Gay Socialism Terrorist Abdulrahman El-Sayed's Sister Spat In the Face of a Police Officer at an anti-ICE "Rally"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Trump often says he wants an immigration system that permits skilled workers into the country, and people who "love" us.

That always hit me as a little, I don't know, soft. Do I care if immigrants "love" us or not?

Well I'll tell you what, I care now. Trump is and was right: It should matter to us if immigrants are coming into this country to bring the chaos, corruption, and endless civil wars of their home shithole countries to our Main Streets, or if they're really coming to join our civilization as supporters and actual, real "cultural enrichers."

The left has created an ideology called Third Worldism. Third Worldism teaches all people in poor countries to hate white westerners and blame them for all of their poverty and stagnation. The way out of poverty and stagnation is not, as you might think, to adopt the proveably pro-growth and pro-stability doctrines of the west, but instead to just inflict on the west all of the ills and mayhem of the Third World. They believe that if they can just destroy the west, the Third World will thrive. I guess the theory is something like, "The West is all tall trees that catch the sunlight before it reaches the bushes on the ground. If we just tear down and burn all the tall trees, we'll all grow as high as they once were."

It's absurd. But note it is just the companion doctrine of anti-white, anti-American racial socialism in this country, which also advocates for not changing anything about failing "communities" except to destroy the "oppressors" supposedly keeping them down.

We cannot allow any more immigration while this pernicious, anti-American hatred is held as the highest value in the Third World and promoted by our own anti-American, left-wing, taxpayer-funded NGOs.

Here's the thing: I don't want my society destroyed and razed to the ground so that some foreign malcontents have the chance to rebuild it along their preferred lines, and then rule over me.

Call me a racist. I no longer care. I will not be ruled to show I'm not "racist."

I'm sure you already agree with this, but if you need more evidence:

Leftwing Obama Judge Who Has Repatedly Ignored the Supreme Court to Block the Deportation of Somalis Relents, Allows Deportations

—Disinformation Expert Ace

She repeatedly refuses to respect the Supreme Court ruling -- ruling, not advisement -- that lowly district court judges cannot overrule the Administration's findings on immigration, except on legitimate constitutional grounds. (That is, the claim that an Administration order actually violates the Constitution.)

She just keeps saying "I don't care, I do what I want."

In one cute maneuver, the Administration appealed her lawless ruling to the Supreme Court, where she would definitely be checked and rebuked.

So she withdrew that ruling.

Then she quickly issued the same ruling, forcing Trump to go through the appeals process a second, redundant, dilatory (deliberately time-wasting) time.

A Massachusetts federal judge has once again blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for Somalia, issuing a new administrative stay after plaintiffs rewrote their lawsuit around constitutional claims just days after a federal appeals court threw out similar stays terminating TPS for Ethiopia and South Sudan.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, appointed by former President Barack Obama, issued the administrative stay Friday after African Communities Together and other plaintiffs filed an amended complaint alleging the Trump administration violated the Fifth Amendment by terminating Somalia's TPS designation based on racial and national-origin discrimination.

The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and emergency motion on Thursday in a renewed bid to keep Somalia's TPS protections alive after the Supreme Court's June ruling in Mullin v. Doe sharply limited lower courts' ability to block TPS terminations.

Burroughs' latest order has intensified growing criticism over whether district judges are using administrative stays to work around higher court rulings. It comes just days after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed similar administrative stays issued by U.S. District Judges Brian Murphy and Patti Saris, who had temporarily delayed the Trump administration's TPS terminations for Ethiopia and South Sudan.

The 1st Circuit based its rulings on the Supreme Court's Mullin decision, which ruled lower courts generally cannot block TPS terminations based on non-constitutional claims.

The latest order drew an immediate rebuke from DHS General Counsel James Percival, who accused Burroughs of continuing a pattern of judicial obstruction.

"Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS. There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases -- defiance, obstruction, and delay," Percival wrote on X.

Iowa Solicitor General Eric Wessan argued Burroughs' order improperly grants emergency relief despite what he described as legally deficient claims.

"I looked at the amended complaint in the Somalia TPS case," Wessan wrote on X. "The district judge has entered a novel 'administrative stay' to sort out the claims. She has declared the TPS termination 'void' for now, while deciding whether any of the claims can justify a more permanent pause."

Wessan argued that the order "turns the law upside down," writing that four of the lawsuit's five claims are foreclosed by the Supreme Court's decision in Mullin and describing the remaining claim as "frivolous."

"Even if this was a fresh lawsuit without the baggage, the claims cannot justify any relief -- much less meet the high bar for interim relief," Wessan wrote. "This is very bad. I hope that, with time to review, Judge Burroughs vacates her administrative stay to allow the correct status quo to continue."

Republicans are discussing impeaching this lawless woke criminal.

allisonburroughs.png

She attended the Jason Arday School of Law 'n Shit.

Maybe because she feared being impeached, maybe because she knew the Supreme Court was about to read her the riot act, but she's finally relented and will, very begrudgingly, follow the actual American law.

Though she complains as she does so and says the Muslims are really right, it's just the racist Supreme Court that's stopping her from granting Somalis permanent protected status in the US on no authority but her own.

Trump scores major immigration victory as judge clears way to end TPS protections for thousands of Somalis


The ruling could expose thousands to deportation after the Supreme Court limited judicial review of TPS decisions

By Michael Sinkewicz Fox News


President Donald Trump scored a major legal victory Friday after a federal judge cleared the way for his administration to terminate temporary legal protections for thousands of Somali nationals living in the United States.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston lifted a stay that had prevented the Department of Homeland Security from terminating Somalia's Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation, citing a June Supreme Court ruling that sharply limited judicial review of similar administration actions.

The decision allows the Trump administration to move forward with ending TPS for Somalia, potentially exposing affected migrants who lack another lawful basis to remain in the U.S. to deportation.

Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, had previously blocked the termination from taking effect in a lawsuit brought by four Somali nationals and two advocacy groups, including African Communities Together.

...

The Supreme Court ruled in June in Mullin v. Doe that the TPS statute bars judicial review of certain non-constitutional decisions by the administration to terminate TPS designations. The court also found that the plaintiffs' equal protection challenge in that case was unlikely to succeed.

The ruling curtailed lower courts' ability to review Trump administration efforts to terminate TPS designations for nationals of multiple countries.

Plaintiffs challenging the termination of Somalia's designation argued that the administration's decision was motivated by bias against non-White immigrants, pointing to Trump's previous descriptions of Somalis as "garbage" and "low IQ people."

Following the Supreme Court's ruling, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint raising new constitutional claims and sought emergency relief in another effort to prevent Somalia's TPS protections from ending.

Burroughs issued an administrative stay earlier this month after African Communities Together and other plaintiffs alleged that the administration violated the Fifth Amendment by terminating Somalia's TPS designation based on racial and national-origin discrimination.

In Friday's ruling, Burroughs said the plaintiffs had presented a compelling case but concluded that the Supreme Court's decision constrained her ability to continue blocking the administration's action.

Burroughs wrote that she was "bound ... to view things through the Mullin prism," referring to the Supreme Court case.

"Plaintiffs have made a convincing showing that they will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is withheld ... and the balance of hardships and the public interest also favor Plaintiffs, given that the government has made no showing that maintaining TPS status for the duration of this litigation would impose an undue burden," she wrote.

...


Sources at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services previously told Fox News Digital that 2,471 Somali nationals in the U.S. currently have TPS, while another 1,383 have pending TPS applications.

Jonathan Turley says Friday was a "great day" for Trump. It was a great day for all Americans, dude.


Unfortunately, most Somalis have been granted citizenship by now.

Straight Shooters and Great Americans: Hugh Hefner Informed The FBI That a Playboy Playmate Had Been Sex-Trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein But They "Back-Burnered" The Tip and Did Nothing for 15 Years

—Disinformation Expert Ace

What exactly would you say you do here?

Playboy founder and publisher Hugh Hefner reportedly informed the FBI several times in 2005 that a Playboy Playmate had been sexually trafficked and abused by the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and others, but the FBI didn't investigate the claim for 15 years, according to court documents.

The Playboy Playmate was Audra Christiansen, who says that Hefner made multiple reports to the FBI, but that the agency didn't follow up at the time, according to former FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.

"To wait 15 years to conduct this interview and to actually get down to the nitty gritty ... that is just too long to wait," Coffindaffer told "NewsNation Prime" on Saturday. "Somehow, this got back-burnered, and it should have never happened that it would take so long for this investigation to follow through."

...

Christiansen's story suggests that if the FBI had acted on Hefner's calls, Epstein could have been held to account for his actions long before he was arrested and held awaiting trial. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to solicitation in Florida for which he received a very lenient and highly criticized work-release jail sentence.

The FBI agent says the cover-up and political weaponization agency might have been "swamped" at the time, doing 9/11 investigations.

Still swamped in 2005?

The FBI Had Evidence Eric Swalwell Took Money From Chinese Spy Fang Fang, but -- Get This -- Buried It

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Heads, pikes, some assembly required.

Steven Richards and John Solomon for Just the News:

FBI had evidence Swalwell got illegal donations from suspected Chinese spy, bombshell memos show
The newly declassified investigation files also show that the FBI had initially tried to recruit the infamous Fang Fang as a source that could share information on Chinese influence operations targeting public officials in the United States.


The FBI developed evidence that a Chinese woman with direct ties to that country's intelligence service had potentially compromised a Democratic congressman from California with sex, foreign interns and illicit donations while she was being recruited to become a bureau informant a decade ago, according to bombshell memos that expose another threat to America's political system from Beijing.

The files chronicling the relationship between Rep. Eric Swalwell and the Chinese national Fang Fang -- also known by her English name Christine Fang -- were declassified by President Donald Trump and released Monday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force as part of a broader effort to unmask foreign threats to U.S. political and election systems.

They show the FBI opened a predicated investigation, which is a formal law enforcement inquiry backed by a factual basis or allegation that indicates a crime or national security threat already exists.

Unlike unpredicated "assessments," a predicated investigation allows agents to use advanced and intrusive methods like electronic surveillance or informants.

The files provide significant new details about the long-rumored relationship between Fang and Swalwell, including that:

* The FBI initially wanted to investigate the congressman for a bribery scheme in which he exchanged donations from Fang for her planting interns in his office, but eventually decided to narrow the case to seek criminal charges only against Fang for making illegal donations to the California Democrat through conduits.

In English, "eventually decided" means "corruptly decided."

* Swalwell admitted to having sex with Fang, his staff placing Fang's interns in Congress and not having a strong enough campaign finance system to detect the straw donations she allegedly passed through U.S.-citizen conduits.

* The Justice Department declined to prosecute Fang despite strong evidence of the illicit donations after she fled the U.S. as the FBI began interviewing her associates and raided her home. The early steps in the investigation were overseen in part by controversial prosecutor Jack Smith, who would later pursue Donald Trump on criminal charges.

Holy shit. He's the garbage man they turn to every single time to take care of their trash.

* The FBI was recruiting Fang to be a confidential informant through an undercover agent, assigned her the code name Rusty Thumbs, planned to hire her through a cutout company and was still evaluating her suitability as a confidential human source when they discovered her alleged criminal behavior.

* The FBI knew early on during the recruitment that Fang was tied to China's Ministry of State Security (MSS), Beijing's notorious intelligence service. The bureau also identified her parents as MSS agents, knew she was raising money for California Democrats and was willing to use sex as a means of getting ahead in the world of U.S. politics.

"Rusty Thumbs" was the name of the degenerate sex act that Eric Swalwell liked having performed on him.

Hello. Happy New Week!

By the way: No crow updates. The crows kind of disappeared. I still hear them clattering but they don't visit, at least not when I'm looking.

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

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.
