I am agnostic on the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As Sefton and I discussed on our recent podcast, AI can be useful, but it certainly isn't ready for prime time, and it can also be overbearing and immensely irritating.
That's because the hysteria in corporate America about inserting AI into absolutely everything has become ridiculous. Instead of rolling it out into their businesses as needs and opportunities arise, many companies are shoehorning it into every part of their operations, including most annoyingly, customer service. Sending an email to a company with a question or issue about a product or service shouldn't become an exercise in futility as one wades thorough the often nonsensical responses of an AI system. AI phone systems are particularly annoying, especially since its ability to provide meaningful assistance is in its infancy. Does one really have to wade through three minutes of perky AI voices just to speak to a human, or even worse, leave a message because "Call volume is higher than average?"
I am not a luddite...AI absolutely has its uses, and is becoming a powerful tool, in particular in technical fields where the prompts are tailored, and the databases are specified. And it can be a superb web search engine...sifting through the millions of pages of nonsense to get useful information.
But it has become so pervasive that I find myself reflexively rejecting its presence...disabling it whenever I can, or simply moving on to other, more human-friendly companies and websites that don't shove AI in my face.
DuckDuckGo, which positions itself as a privacy-focused alternative to Google, has experienced a significant increase in user adoption following the search giant’s announcement of major changes to its search platform that heavily incorporate AI.
TechCrunch reports that DuckDuckGo claims that U.S. app installs increased by an average of 18.1 percent week-over-week during the period from May 20 to May 25, compared to the previous week of May 13 to May 18. The growth was sustained for six consecutive days and reached a peak of 30.5 percent on May 25. On iOS devices specifically, the rate of installation was even more dramatic, with week-over-week growth averaging 33 percent and peaking at 69.9 percent.
The surge in interest comes in direct response to Google’s announcement at its annual I/O developer conference that AI would take over its search engine, as previously reported by Breitbart News:
This isn't an endorsement of DuckDuckGo. But it's a great example of what many people are doing in every facet of our technological lives. And it reminds me of the EV craze! Auto companies built EVs at a frantic pace, carefully ignoring the reality that their customers simply didn't want them. As Buck Throckmorton has ably demonstrated on these pages over the last few years, the EV insanity has come crashing to earth, because of the immutable laws of economics.
My guess is that AI will find its niche and become an indispensable tool for certain industries and certain people (it already is for many!), but it will be nothing more than an occasionally useful tool for most people.
Will it take over the world? Probably not. The last time I checked, AI couldn't repair an air conditioner or fix the plumbing or frame a house. It can make fun videos though!

Mamdani announced that he was going to seize rental properties from landlords who have not maintained them properly, and hand over ownership not to the city government, but to supposedly impartial players and fair dealers such as “community land trusts” and “non-profits.” New York City Council member Vickie Paladino, one of Mamdani’s most vociferous and insightful critics, explains: “The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran’s DSA-connected nonprofits with a multibillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets — New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario.”
...Mamdani, however, appears to be both a convinced Marxist and a devout Muslim. There is no real contradiction here; certainly Karl Marx himself made atheism a cornerstone of his secular religion, but Communism has always found a ready partner in Islam. This is because they have a deep kinship: both are authoritarian, totalitarian systems that impose draconian punishments for dissidents. Both deny the freedom of speech and other indispensable elements of a free society.
Also, once his Marxist comrades control New York City’s housing market, who will get the housing? Not political undesirables, i.e., patriots. Instead, Muslim migrants, including an unknowable number of criminals and jihadis, and others who will help the leftist/Islamic alliance stay in power, will receive preferment.
Sadly I still have a number of friends, and two who are so insufferably liberal that I consider them now merely acquaintances. They live in a very expensive upper west side Co-op and I hate to wish it upon them but I do hope they get what they vote for good and hard. Maybe then they'll wake up, but considering they voted for Dinkins and DeBolshevik while denigrating anything and everything even slightly to the right of even Ed Koch, well so be it. And now I'm picturing the scene from Dr. Zhivago where the Bolshvik apparatchiks are confiscating the wealthy Ralph Richardson's home and moving scores of bedraggled poor people in, "In the name of the people." of course he protests that "He is one of the people," and is quickly silenced by Omar Sharif before Tom Courtenay can drag the old fool out and shoot him as a counter-revolutionary.
All that said, it likely won't be long before one or all of President Trump's properties will be condemned, and then seized and handed over to Mamdani's commie cronies in the name of social justice, I assume at or not long after 12:01:00 on 1/21/29, if Mamdani is still mayor or one of his cronies succeeds him.
On a not unrelated note, just north of the border in Canada, also well on the way to Islamo/Communist control, we had this disturbing story...
A doctor in Ontario, Canada, allegedly evaluated a man for assisted death outside a Tim Hortons and, months later, drove him to the building where he died.
The patient was 45-year-old Thomas Dillon, who lived with Crohn’s disease along with mental illness and addiction, according to the National Post, citing The Globe and Mail, the Canadian newspaper that first reported the case and identified Dillon as the subject of one complaint. A coroner’s review of an anonymized 2024 case the reporting connects to Dillon described a man who battled addiction, struggled to keep a job, found relationships difficult and leaned on family for housing and money. Dr. James MacLean and a second clinician allegedly approved Dillon for assisted death under Track 2, a category for people whose deaths are not near but who endure intolerable suffering from a serious, untreatable condition. (RELATED: Canada Reportedly Set To Surpass 100,000 Assisted Suicides) MacLean allegedly ran the eligibility check outside the coffee shop on June 27, 2023, and traded dozens of texts with Dillon as they planned the death, according to The Globe and Mail. On Jan. 29, 2024, the two met again at the restaurant, and MacLean drove him to an industrial site where the dead are prepared for funeral homes. Dillon’s family told the outlet his wish to die came from mental illness, not the bowel disease. In a separate complaint, MacLean allegedly failed to provide one of three required drugs during an assisted death, the National Post reported. After he declared the patient dead and left the residence, the man started breathing again on his own. MacLean came back and finished the procedure, according to the Globe and Mail. A reviewer determined MacLean fell short of professional standards in five of 20 files examined, the National Post reported. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) issued a verbal caution and ordered six months of clinical supervision, chart audits and remedial training. He keeps his license and can still perform assisted deaths.
It won't be long before Crohn's disease is joined by Islamophobia and "hate speech" as a justification for doctors to euthanize people the state deems as a threat to themselves and to THE PEOPLE

China's Tiangong Space Station is currently occupied by a group of artificial embryos, marking a major step in the quest to understand the ins and outs of reproduction in space. And while none of the embryo-like structures will ever develop into an actual person, the experiment should at least provide us with new insights into the impact of microgravity on early human development.
Previous research has shown that human, pig, and mouse sperm become disoriented in microgravity and are therefore less likely to be able to navigate the reproductive tract. A separate study found that jellyfish who spend their youth - or polyp stage - in space tend to experience vertigo when brought back to Earth, struggling to swim in a coherent manner.
On the other hand, mouse sperm that was sent to the ISS has been successfully used to rear healthy pups on Earth, suggesting that exposure to cosmic radiation may not cause harmful levels of DNA damage. Mouse embryos were also seen to develop normally onboard the ISS for a period of four days, eventually becoming blastocysts - collections of cells that later develop into the fetus and placenta.

Gay Weirdo James Talarico: All of Those "Cringey" Things I Said In the Past Few Years Are Either Completely True or Completely Out of Context
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Via Twitchy, the Daily Wire reports that this Totally Real Authentic Bible-Believing Christian attends a church whose library contains gay groomer books.
The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology.
Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with "banned books" that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings.
Books found in the St. Andrew's catalog include the book "Gender Queer," which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book "All Boys Aren't Blue," which discusses anal rape and incest.
"This Book Is Gay," has a chapter on the "ins and outs of gay sex," while the book "Becoming Nicole" tells the story of a gender-confused teen boy who identifies as girl with the support of his family. In "The Courage to Be Queer," the author claims that "God is queer."
Other books in the church catalog include "This Book is Gay," "Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth," "Called OUT: The Voices and Gifts of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Presbyterians," "The Courage to Be Queer," and "Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family."
Talarico, looking to flip a Senate seat in a state President Donald Trump won by 14 points in 2024, has faced criticism over comments he made on transgender ideology. It will likely be a central theme in the campaign against him -- in his first speech as the official Republican nominee on Tuesday night, Republican Ken Paxton referred to Talarico as both "Six-Gender Jimmy" and "James Tala-FREAKO."
Republican congressman Brandon Gill on the same stage went after Talarico over the Daily Wire report earlier this year on the time he said the thing he loved most in the world was "trans children."
St. Andrew's, the church where Talarico delivered his sermon that asserted that "our trans community needs abortion care too," says it offers banned books so that children can find "affirmation in the books they read." It boasts that the books "shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people."
"We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice ... common themes ... particular experiences and identities being censored," the church says of its banned books collection.
Talarico has voted in the state legislature against keeping men out of women's sports and claimed it was "abusive" and "destructive" if parents did not accept their child's alleged gender identity.
He has also stated his belief that "god is nonbinary," and that Jesus was a "radical feminist."
CBS: "In 2021, you said God is non-binary. What did you mean by that? Do you regret describing it that way?"
Talarico: "God can't be defined by human categories. There are some statements I've made that I regret. Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringey comments." pic.twitter.com/8NRdjewCsP
Only an idiot would fall for this. It’s not as if he even argued that God transcends any earthly classification. He purposely used the woke neologism for people who claim they don’t align with either "man" or "woman." https://t.co/Wsk4GtSydP
Here's the passage of the Bible that this Fabulously False Prophet is lying about:
Tom Fitton
@TomFitton
Leftist @jamestalarico again purposefully misquotes the Holy Bible to push devious falsehood God is transgender (in order to attack those who want to protect children from transgender extremist mutilation and abuse.) The passages he lies about are these:
"For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus.
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendant, heirs according to the promise." Galatians, 3:26-29.
From that he gets "Jesus sayeth that we're all non-binary."
He also says that Mary had to "give consent" to not abort Jesus:
Talarico says Mary had to give consent not to abort Jesus
Before you say, "Wait a minute, Ace, you claimed that his every single 'religious' interpretation was about homosexuality and transgenderism, but that last quote was about abortion, which does not involve homoexuality or transgenderism," well why don't you stop being wrong for one minute of your entire error-filled life and watch this:
JAMES TALARICO: “Our trans community needs abortion care too!”
THIS is the guy Democrats just nominated for US Senate.
Oh, he also says that atheists are "more Christ-like" than actual Christians.
Oh, and he says that "whiteness" is a "virus" we must immunize ourselves against:
Now that the primary is over, Paxton and the GOP are finally running ads against this blasphemous gay weirdo.
Here's another ad talking about Talarico crowing that his was the first campaign to add "pronouns" to their business cards, and thanking Jesus for helping him cure his "my whiteness and my masculinity." Dude, I don't think Jesus had anything to do with curing you of masculinity. I think it was just genetics.
And he was also very proud that his campaign is officially "meat-free" and buys only vegan products from ethical producers:

Longtime readers will no doubt remember the Invasion of the Concerned Christian Conservatives of 2007-2008. As Obama was running for president, and his campaign manager David Axelrod openly promoted using astroturf -- fake grassroots enthusiasm -- to promote his Manchurian Candidate, there were suddenly dozens of never-before-seen commenters (and never again seen, too) who flooded the comments areas with comments that all followed the same three scripts:
Hi everyone. I've been a conservative Christian my whole life, but I'm very concerned about the direction that Bush took this country in, and which McCain is threatening to take it. While I have never before voted for a Democrat of any kind, I'm so concerned about the state of the country that I have decided to vote for the moderate centrist common-sense Democrat Barack Obama.
He will bring hope to the country and heal our wounds.
Over and over and over and over -- the same canned script being pumped out by David Axelrod's army of Paid Election Interferers.
We used to call this "Mobying" because Moby, the bald gay vegan techno musician no one ever liked, explicitly championed spamming the comments of news sites and blogs with fake messages to trick Christians into voting for the extinction of Western civilization.
We saw a very clumsy effort from the Democrats to convince us that all straight truck-driving beer-drinking Real Men were totally supporting Noted He-Man Tim Walz.
You will not be too terribly surprised to learn that the same Concerned Christian Conservative Seminar Commenters have been reactivated to boost the gay Satanic seminarian Talarico:
Ryan J Higgins, Ed.D.
@ryanjhiggins
I'm a straight white dude, a veteran who grew up in a military family on farms in the Midwest. Moved to Texas on a scholarship from the Army.
I drive a truck, listen to country music, and love football.
I dare anybody to call me UnAmerican, and I'm fully behind Talarico.
Former AOS commenter and now NR cuck Jeff Behar made a good point about Talarico: Every claim he makes about "Christianity" is "instrumental."
What he means by that is that Talarico never talks about Christ except to twist his words to support a far-left/transgender extremist agenda item. He never talks about the sacrifice of Christ, nor the salvation he offers. He never asks for prayer nor offers them.
No, to Talarico, the New Testament only exists to prefigure the Democrat Socialists' 2026 agenda. The Bible and Christ Himself only exist as a pretext for pushing far-left talking points about gays, transgenders, abortion, and veganism.
By the way, the exact same critique can be made about Tuq'r Qarlson's "Christianity." He literally never talks about "Christianity" except to advance his Horseshoe Party socialist/antisemtic Nazi propaganda. Again, not a single blessed word about Christ except as a political prop.
Now of course, people's political beliefs can be informed by Christianity. I don't doubt that.
But if your only interest in "Christianity" is to advance your Current Year ephemeral culture war bullshit, and you never talk about the glory of Christ except in the context of promoting transgenderism for children or slamming the Jews, then you're a Fake Christian.
"Doctor" Jill Biden Continues the Family Business of Lying, Claiming She Had "Never, Ever" Seen Joe Biden As Confused As He Was During the 2024 Debate, "Before or Since"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
She claims she was so "frightened" of what she was seeing from Joe Biden -- that she'd never, ever seen before -- that she thought he was having a stroke.
I think he's had a lot of strokes.
This is all a gigantic lie, obviously. She has been banished from the Democrat Party and the Democrat Media and she needs to be in their good graces when Sheriff Joe kicks it.
Also, these lines were obviously pre-scripted and repeated numerous times, with political operatives coaching her on how emphatically to say "never, ever."
And to also say "I don't know" when asked well, what did you think was going on when you saw this completely unprecedented mental fogginess?
Jill Biden to CBS on the 2024 debate: “I was frightened because I had never seen Joe like that... I thought he was having a stroke."

She didn't seem "frightened" at the rally the next day when she praised Sheriff Joe with the scripted "compliments:" "Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the facts."
Boy it sure seems like she was well-acquainted with Biden's mental decline and an old pro at covering it up.

Reportedly, there is audiotape of the man on the ground -- now handcuffed and in even more discomfort -- pleading to the police that he needs aid because he's been stabbed. "I don't think so, mate," the cop responds, as the man's life oozes out of him.
The Sikh man claimed the victim had racially abused him which, in his mind as well as in the minds of the cops, justified stabbing him.
So: Was it true that the Sikh had robbed and stabbed the man?
It turns out the victim's phone was found on the person of the innocent Sikh who was justifiably defending himself from "racial abuse" so make up your own minds.

🇬🇧 Graphic details emerge in the trial of Vickrum Digwa, accused of murdering the Polish-British student Henry Nowak
A jury has been shown mobile phone footage of the confrontation.
Digwa told the court he was carrying a 21cm kirpan (a Sikh ceremonial blade) around his neck and feared Nowak would use it against him.
"I thought I had to do something because I was afraid that he was going to stab me with my own kirpan," he said.
He denies intentionally stabbing Nowak in the chest, claiming he only pushed him away during the struggle.
Nowak attempted to flee the scene, climbing over a fence while Digwa was still stabbing him
Police initially handcuffed Nowak while he was on the ground, bleeding out, due to Digwa claiming that Nowak was a racist attacker.
The court also heard allegations that Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, removed the kirpan from the scene after the stabbing. She denies assisting an offender.
Sikh man accused of murdering university student with 8-inch ceremonial knife used racism as his 'trump card' to ensure police arrested his dying victim instead, court hears
A Sikh man accused of murdering a university student with a ceremonial knife used racism as his 'trump card' to ensure police arrested his dying victim instead, a court has heard.
Prosecutors said Vickrum Digwa, 23, was 'skilled' with blades when he came to murder Henry Nowak, 18, having trained with weapons since he was 12.
Digwa is on trial accused of stabbing Mr Nowak three times in the front and three times in the back during a street confrontation.
He had to defend himself from the racial abuse by stabbing the man three times... in the back.
As he tried to escape.
The guy had six stab wounds in his body but the cops were focused on handcuffing The Real Criminal Here.
In his closing speech to jurors at Southampton Crown Court, Nicholas Lobbenberg KC said Digwa must have known the wounds were fatal, despite denying stabbing Mr Nowak at the scene.
He said Digwa used racism as his 'trump card', accusing Mr Nowak of racial abuse when police officers arrived so they would arrest the wrong man - a 'wicked lie about a dying man'.
Digwa was said to 'sleep in his bedroom with an arsenal of weapons' and spoke about the Kirpan - a type of ceremonial dagger carried by Sikhs - allegedly used to kill Mr Nowak in 'loving terms'.
The finance student was on his way home from a night out when Digwa stabbed him multiple times with the religious blade, prosecutors have said.
Jurors were told that Digwa filmed his victim as he tried to escape by jumping over a fence, leaving behind a trail of blood in Southampton.
Mr Nowak was shouting that he was 'going to die', causing his neighbours to call the police - but when the officers arrived they arrested him over the bogus racist abuse allegation.
Soon after he was handcuffed, the University of Southampton student collapsed and died from his injuries.
Prosecutors also allege that Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, took the blade from her son at the scene and ran to hide it with 'an arsenal of weapons' at their home address.
Digwa is charged with murder and possession of a bladed article, and his mother is charged with assisting an offender. Both defendants deny the charges.
...
Mr Lobbenberg said that Digwa had lied about Mr Nowak being drunk that night and he was actually under the legal limit of alcohol to drive.
He said: 'The biggest lie, ladies and gentlemen, is why he drew his knife. He told you from that witness box, Henry Nowak said he was going to kill me. He was going to f*** me up.
'We suggest that was never said. You can be sure it was never said because why, if it had been said, would you not tell the 999 operator the most important thing as to why you acted.
'He didn't tell the police at the scene who were asking. He didn't tell his brother when he was saying what happened.
'If this was in the forefront of his mind, seared into his memory, why wouldn't you tell someone.
'Instead, he didn't even put the threat to kill in his defence case statement.
'It came from him for the first time in the witness box.'
Mr Lobbenberg said that there was a stream of lies from Digwa starting from the minutes after the incident.
He said: 'We say this, "drunk" is a lie, "going to kill me" is a lie and we say "P***" is a lie. The consequence and purpose of these lies is significant.
'Why he tells them is he is seeking to hide what he has done.
'And racism was his trump card to try to make sure what he had done was lawful.
'We say that was a wicked lie about a dying man and it is a wicked lie about a dead man to you now.'
Mr Lobbenberg said that Mr Nowak was an 'unarmed young man with a phone'.
The man "drowned in his own blood." He could have been saved, but the police were too busy comforting his murderer.
Note that while knives are illegal in the UK, Sikhs are granted a special right to carry their religious knives.
Two-Tier Justice.
I wonder why:

UK Authorities Issue Stern Warning To British People To Stop Being Stabbed By Muslims
LONDON -- In the wake of yet another deadly stabbing of a British citizen at the hands of a migrant, authorities in the United Kingdom issued a stern warning to all native residents to stop being stabbed to death by Muslims.
The latest horrific incident was just the most recent in an ongoing pattern of violence perpetrated by Muslim migrants, leading the British government to warn the public of dire consequences if they refuse to stop being stabbed by foreign invaders.
"All these people being stabbed need to knock it off," said London's Metropolitan Police Service spokesman Basil Hetherington. "We have simply had enough of this nonsense. If these individuals who keep getting stabbed and slashed to death by crazed, violent migrants don't curb their disruptive behavior immediately, there will be severe repercussions. We cannot have these incidents continue to happen throughout our communities, and therefore warn all stabbing victims to stop being stabbed, posthaste."
...
At publishing time, the UK authorities had issued a full public apology to the migrant perpetrators for any additional difficulties they had endured while carrying out their deadly stabbings.
Well done to @RobertJenrick for raising this in Parliament.
We all know that had this not been a young white man, the political establishment would’ve been out protesting and demanding an inquiry. pic.twitter.com/hff4G3xXgl
Just shows you the double standard in the UK where the average person would be jailed for walking around with a knife like this but because of his religious minority exemption, he was able to take this young man's life.

Ken Dilanian: Kash Patel Has Fired a Completely Non-Partisan FBI Analyst For No Other Reason Than Disagreeing with Him About a "Shooter's Motive" Ten Years Ago
—Disinformation Expert Ace
That's the headline/digest this CIA operative and FusionGPS asset posted on Twitter to advertise his MSNOW article.
Based on that headline, would you care to guess who that shooter might have been, and what disagreement there might have been about his motive?
To help you out, the shooting he's talking about happened in 2017, not quite ten years ago.
Do you have your answer?
Further hint: This analyst claimed the shooter wasn't a domestic terrorist with any political motive, but was simply shooting rando targets in order to get police to kill him. That is, "suicide by cop."
FBI fires analyst who worked 2017 case of shooting at congressional baseball practice
The shooting, which seriously injured Rep. Steve Scalise, was not labeled domestic terrorism at the time, angering GOP lawmakers.
Ken Dilanian
FBI Director Kash Patel last week fired a senior intelligence analyst who played a role in the FBI's 2017 assessment of the motives of the gunman who attacked a House Republican baseball practice, a report that drew the ire of the GOP because it did not label the incident as domestic terrorism.
Four people familiar with the matter said Deputy Assistant Director Emily Morales received a letter from Patel on Friday ending her FBI employment, after which she turned in her badge and was "walked out" by FBI security, as is standard practice.
Morales could not be reached for comment.
It was unclear whether the letter cited her role in the 2017 assessment, but the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss a personnel matter, said her removal was widely perceived inside the bureau as the latest in a series of firings of nonpartisan FBI agents who did their jobs in a way that drew disfavor from President Donald Trump or Republicans.
MS NOW reported five months ago that Tonya Ugoretz, who was the assistant director in charge of the Intelligence Directorate, was removed because of her role in withdrawing a thinly sourced intelligence report alleging that China tried to flood the United States with fake driver's licenses in order to promote fraud in the 2020 election.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has boasted that the FBI forced out every agent who worked on the criminal investigations of Trump that resulted in indictments. Former acting director Brian Driscoll and other former agents are suing the bureau and Patel, alleging they were fired for political reasons. The FBI Agents Association has asserted that many of these firings were illegal.
The FBI declined to comment on personnel matters.
In June 2017, James Hodgkinson opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, shooting four people, including two Capitol Police officers and Congressman Steve Scalise. Hodgkinson was shot and killed by police.
Although he had a history of criticizing Republicans and was carrying a list of Republican lawmakers in his pocket, the FBI initially did not label Hodgkinson a domestic terrorist.
Oh is that all the evidence? Is that it? Just a history of hatred of Republicans and a list of Republicans in his pocket to murder?
Oh -- and also, being an MSNBC Super-Fan, particularly of lesbian antiamerican communist Rachel Maddow.
An FBI official briefing Congress described what happened as "suicide by cop," according to a report by House Republicans issued last March.
In 2021, the FBI provided a statement to the House Appropriations Committee which read, "The shooter was motivated by a desire to commit an attack on Members of Congress. ... This conduct is something that we would today characterize as a domestic terrorism event."
Then-FBI Director Christopher Wray explained to Congress that the incident did not fit the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism at the time, but that the definition had evolved.
The report by House Republicans was deeply critical of the FBI, saying, "The FBI case file makes clear this case was a premeditated assassination attempt on Republican congressmen by a radical, left-wing political extremist, who was seeking to affect the conduct of our government."
It's incredible that they lied about this. It's even more incredible that they continue lying about this.
Not domestic terrorism? The maniac asked if it was "Republicans or Democrats out there." Learning it was the Republican team, the shooter proceeded to the field and fired over 60 rounds into the Republicans. pic.twitter.com/gzz0YNYYe2

This guy was also a character witness -- a positive character witness, mind you -- for the "Blind Sheikh" terrorist who was the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Muslim terrorists' first attempt to bring down the towers. In case you forgot, they parked vans filled with explosives next to the pillars that supported the entire WTC, which went up from the bedrock through the underground parking garages and then through the entire towers.
The plan would have worked, except that they just didn't bring enough explosives. Just eight years later, Osama bin Ladin would perfect the plan by using planes as the bombs.
And what a shock, this loyal Muslim citizen who Shares Our Values and certainly would not support terrorism turns out to in fact support terrorism.
And Democrats are about to make him a Member of Congress, with the ability to smuggle bombs into Congress itself.
Leading N.J. Dem Congressional candidate Adam Hamawy volunteered with Al-Qaida-tied group in Bosnia
After traveling with the 'Blind Sheikh,' Hamawy worked with Benevolence International Foundation, later shuttered as an Al-Qaida front
Adam Hamawy's past relationship with terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ).
Their relationship spanned a 1991 road trip the two took together to Detroit, Hamawy's service as the sheikh's translator for a press conference in which Abdel-Rahman denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamawy's testimony on the sheikh's behalf at his 1995 trial, where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City.
Oh, I guess there was a plan for a whole series of bombings, after the attempt to destroy the towers and kill 6000 or more people. (Remember, if this plan had worked, there would have been no evacuation time to get out of the building before it collapsed).
IIRC, the blast penetrated through six floors, and it subsequently cost $1B to clean all the soot out of the building.
Posted by: gp
But just one year before Hamawy took the witness stand to describe his travels with Abdel-Rahman, the now-Congressional candidate made a different journey with another party entangled in terrorist conspiracies: to Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing "logistical support" to Al-Qaida.
In a 1996 interview with the Newark Star-Ledger, according to a copy Jewish Insider recovered through an archive of print publications, Hamawy described volunteering in Bosnia during the summer of 1994 with a Chicago-based nonprofit called the "Benevolence International Foundation."
...
Sarajevo and Zenica were the exact cities where Benevolence International maintained its offices -- offices that Bosnian authorities raided in 2002, part of a joint effort with U.S. authorities to dismantle the group, which they had identified as a front for Al-Qaida. The 9/11 Commission Report would later identify the foundation's base in the Bosnian capital as part of the "impressive array of offices [that] covertly provided financial and other support for terrorist activities" that Osama bin Laden established in the early 1990s.
Hamawy, who has scored endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in his New Jersey congressional bid, did not respond to repeated questions about his relationship with Benevolence International and his contacts and activities in Bosnia.
The plastic surgeon has emerged as a frontrunner in the congressional race despite his relationship with the "Blind Sheikh" receiving significant coverage in recent weeks.
A 1995 court transcript shows how the then-medical student Hamawy described meeting the Islamist leader in 1991, visiting him at his home and accompanying him on a 13-hour van trip to a conference in Detroit. In the courtroom, he and the sheikh greeted each other warmly, and Hamawy denied a government informant's claim that Abdel-Rahman had urged the assassination of the then-president of Egypt.
But no other publication has reported Hamawy's connection to Benevolence International since the Star-Ledger interview in 1996.
Oh the media's covering it up? What a surprise!
Update: More.
...
But what has given the plastic surgeon such recent prominence has been his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip during Israel's war with Hamas, including at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The IDF struck the hospital repeatedly in 2025 to take out an underground Hamas command center that it said operated beneath the medical center.
In multiple interviews in far-left media, Hamawy has denied the existence of such a terrorist post, and insisted to Jacobin that the facility was "a completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels underneath it."

Demented Cane-Shaking Sasquatch Al Green Loses His Primary Hugely
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Al Green is a noted crusader for the rights of indigenous cavemen.
He carries what he says is a Magic Stick that allows him to poke ghosts in the belly when they get to hollerin' and actin' the fool.
Texas redrew its congressional map -- you might have heard. Two Democrat incumbents challenged each other for one of the few remaining blue districts, and Democrats chose the one who is not cursed by the Mark of the Werewolf.
Christian Menefee defeats longtime Houston Rep. Al Green in Texas' new 18th Congressional District
Green's loss means the Texas House delegation is losing one of its most senior members, who served more than 20 years in Congress.
Green, who has represented the 9th Congressional District since 2005, has been a vocal opponent to President Donald Trump's policies in Washington and a fixture on the Houston political scene. Green repeatedly and unsuccessfully filed articles of impeachment for Trump during the president's first and second terms. He was also removed from the State of the Union earlier this year after unfurling a protest sign. He had vowed to continue fighting Trump's agenda if reelected and leaned on his experience, pitching himself as the candidate has been doing the job.
Menefee will face the GOP nominee Ronald Dwayne Whitfield. Whitfield faces an uphill battle as the district is deep blue; Kamala Harris would have carried the new district by 55 points.
They packed as many Democrats as possible into a few districts.
But there are fewer blue districts now.
Trump had thoughts:
Congratulations to the Dumocrat Party! Al Green, one of the most mentally deficient Congressmen in the history of our Country, has lost, in a landslide, his seat in Congress -- But I will miss that lunatic not screaming and violently waving his cane at me during my next State of the Union Speech.
One major outcome from the aftermath of the 2020 election was the egregious behavior of the Supreme Court. Everyone here surely remembers how that litigation shook out. Some states sued other states over their handling of the election and subsequent vote-counting, and the Supreme Court used elaborate mental and legal gymnastics to to reject those cases. Handling litigation between the states is one of the Court's actual jobs, and in 2020 it simply refused to do it so as to end the litigation and make the problem go away. Whether cowardly terror or simple activism, it doesn't matter. The Court was derelict.
It's pretty straightforward how. Article III, Section II:
The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects.
It is the Court's job to, among other things, adjudicate conflicts between states. It chose not to in 2020. As we see in 2026, that was not a one-off.
Last year, an unqualified illegal alien named Harjinder Singh executed an illegal U-Turn in a big rig on the Florida Turnpike. The illegal maneuver caused a car wreck that killed three people. Despite being an illegal alien who could not speak English and failed to recognize road signs, Singh was improperly issued a CDL by the states of California and Washington, and he fled to California after the wreck. A few days after his return to California, he was arrested by the US Marshals. California's (and other states') regular issuance of improper and illegal CDLs to unqualified and often illegal aliens is a problem with interstate ramifications.
In response to this incident, Florida filed suit against California and Washington in October of last year. Being a conflict between the states, the case went before the Supreme Court. Or, rather it should have gone before the Supreme Court. This time, like every time there is a suit between the states that may prove politically difficult, the Court flatly refused to take the case. Unlike 2020, however, there were no mental gymnastics to justify it.
A solid majority of the Court simply refused, and the majority issued no explanation. There was no rationale or justification, and the majority opinion was unsigned. Per the Washington Examiner:
Florida filed a motion for the Supreme Court to hear the lawsuit directly because it was a lawsuit between two or more states, a rare instance of the high court’s original jurisdiction, but the unsigned majority did not offer an explanation for why it denied hearing the case.
The motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied. JUSTICE THOMAS, with whom JUSTICE ALITO joins, dissenting from the denial of motion for leave to file complaint
This dissent follows, signed by the two justices who usually try to do the right thing. No majority opinion and therefore no author. Just "nah, we're not gonna do it." This is, as the Examiner pointed out, in the Court's actual, real, legitimate, Constitutional jurisdiction. And the Court refused, as has become its habit. Thomas made his opinion on this plain-language point quite clear:
This Court has exclusive original jurisdiction over Florida’s suit because it involves one State suing other States.
Article III establishes that "[i]n all Cases . . . in which a State shall be [a] Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction." §2, cl. 2. Congress has made our original jurisdiction "exclusive" in "all controversies between two or more States," meaning that no other court can hear this case. 28 U. S. C. §1251(a).
I doubt this Court has discretion to refuse to hear cases within its exclusive original jurisdiction. ... "If this Court does not exercise jurisdiction over a controversy between two States, then the complaining State has no judicial forum in which to seek relief." Nebraska v. Colorado, 577 U. S. 1211, 1212 (2016) (THOMAS, J., dissenting from denial of motion for leave to file complaint). The only statute addressing this Court’s jurisdiction over these kinds of cases nowhere contemplates a process of discretionary review. See §1251(a) Nonetheless, this Court has adopted a discretionary approach to its exclusive original jurisdiction ...
This is not the first time Thomas has made this precise point, which is why quotes himself in his dissent. There is no venue for litigation between the states if the Court refuses to hear such cases, and the Court routinely refuses to hear such cases. I am sure the Court has much better things to do than hear "nuisance claims" (as this case was called by the defendants) - things like legislating from the bench.
The non-communists have seen some victories in the Court over the past few years, but this case continues to underscore an ongoing problem. The Court is populated with political justices who never fail to find jurisdiction when it's a case they want to take, and never fail to reject their responsibilities when it's a case they don't - even if that leaves states with no venue whatsoever to sort out their grievances with each other.
Good morning kids. Well we certainly had a bit of good news out of Texas last night as RINO sellout John Cornyn was at long last kicked to the curb. Chip Roy was also sent to the showers. While in my view, certainly not as overtly odious a RINO as Cornyn, his record in advancing the conservative cause to be charitable was spotty at best, so as the late great NY Mets broadcaster Bob Murphy, would say "Here's the happy recap!"
Texas Republicans delivered major victories for conservatives Tuesday night, as state Sen. Mayes Middleton defeated Rep. Chip Roy in the Republican runoff for attorney general while Attorney General Ken Paxton ousted longtime Sen. John Cornyn in a closely watched Senate primary.
. . .Roy’s defeat marked a significant setback for Washington Republicans who had rallied behind the four-term congressman. Roy had built a national profile as a hardline conservative in Congress and received endorsements from figures including Ted Cruz and members of the House Freedom Caucus.
...Cornyn’s loss represented one of the most significant defeats for a sitting Republican senator in recent years and underscored Trump’s dominance over GOP primary voters.
Well, as I stated in contrast to the author of this piece, Roy's record despite the labels and endorsements has been spotty at best. I'll leave it to all our Texas commenters to weigh in as to whether I'm off base or not. Be that as it may, Look at who Ken Paxton is facing off against:
The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology.
Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with “banned books” that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings.
I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state. We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service. To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.
When I said train, I meant in cattle cars on your way to a gulag to get forcibly sterilized.
I would think Talarico doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell, certainly not with this background. And yes Texas is indeed a deep if not the deepest of red red states. But with the nation now really on a knife edge we can no longer tolerate the business as usual of go-along-to-get-along RINO grifters because since the ascendancy of Obama, the Democrat Party is now openly out to seize absolute power by any and every means necessary. The Trump miracle put the brakes on that and so the freak flags are flying in the breeze as the stolen election of 2020, the political persecutions, assassination attempts, riots, judicial coup, bureaucratic insubrdination, censorship and political violence against any and all voices of opposition have amply demonstrated.
...Wynton Hall, author of Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI talked about OpenAI. Hall said, “OpenAI has now contracted with 400,000 members of teachers’ unions to start to bake into the curriculum…all their tools.”
The news that President Trump has taken the unusual step of calling a full Cabinet meeting Wednesday suggests that, among other things, he’s exploring ways to jump-start the maddeningly slow talks with Iran.
The brainstorming is necessary because it is crystal clear that Trump gave peace a chance, a very good chance, but the mullahs aren’t willing to meet his generous terms.
The big question now is whether there is anything more within reason he can do to sweeten the offer, or whether Iran simply has no intention of ever getting to yes.
No doubt there also will be a political dimension to the conversations, in that the war is unpopular at home and growing more so the longer it goes on.
Its effect on rising energy prices and inflation are a major part of the GOP worry that Trump’s party could lose control of both chambers of Congress in November...
Moreover, the stakes in Iran are growing again because even the tenuous cease-fire is coming under severe stress.
The US conducted what it called “self-defense” airstrikes late Monday against two Iranian ships it said were laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US also said it took out a surface-to-air missile site based at Iran’s primary naval station that was targeting our warplanes.
In response, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatened to strike American military bases elsewhere in the region.
The skirmishing is the latest sign that the mullahs have no intention of voluntarily meeting Trump’s top demand for peace.
For more than a decade, he has been saying the same thing: that Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon on his watch.
Of course the problem is Trump's watch will come to an end at noon on January 21 2029. Was the era of Donald Trump a one-off, a speed bump on the road to hell that our nation had or has been on for decades or has President Trump not only slammed on the brakes but has he succeeded in throwing us into reverse and putting America back on track towards sanity? The removal of saboteurs and fools like Massie and now Cornyn is a good sign, but the GOP must be utterly purged as we can see from this abomination of a back-stabbing out of South Carolina.
In a written message marking the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Khamenei described Israel as a “cancerous tumor,” echoed his father’s prediction that the Jewish state would not survive another 25 years from a decade ago — effectively placing Israel’s destruction within roughly 15 years — and warned that regional nations would no longer serve as “shields” for American military bases. ‘Death to America’: Iran’s Supreme Leader Warns U.S. Will Have ‘No Safe Haven’ — Vows Israel’s Annihilation

Piker has a long history of public controversies, including stating that “America deserved 9/11,” instructing his followers to “make f***ing suicide drones,” and appearing to suggest that former Florida governor Rick Scott should be “killed.” Hasan Piker Exposes Pro-CCP Tycoon Singham’s Funding of ‘Political Movements.’

A bit of an own goal this time around. TSMC staff have traditionally been paid a bonus based on corporate profits, but the company has been planning to cut the percentage paid to staff in order to fund capital expansion. I don't think anyone is hurting - like many other chipmakers the company is making record profits, so we're talking a reduced share of a much larger pie - but Taiwanese workers will be looking at the huge bonuses won by their counterparts in South Korea. And judging.
I'm a bit confused about the high bandwidth numbers, because the tests seem to exceed the theoretical bandwidth of the system, but I'm not going to worry too much since nobody's going to be able to buy one anyway.

My once great home state can't get the smaller, single span Key Bridge rebuilt - but sure, let's go ahead and plan for a new Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Much longer and two spans. Great idea!
Despite the dreary weather this Memorial Day weekend, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge has been very congested with holiday traffic at times – especially after a crash at the start of the eastbound span Friday morning – leaving some drivers wondering when relief will finally come for the aging bridge.
State officials are planning to replace the current bridge with two wider, safer spans, but it’s going to take a while and depend on funding.
After studying alternatives such as building new bridges elsewhere, in December 2025, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) board voted unanimously on a plan that would lead to two new four-lane bridge spans (both with shoulders this time!) that would be built next to the current two spans. The old spans would be torn down.
I'm going to start some kind of non-profit which specializes in some obscure thing that has to be done whenever there is a bridge design / build. Need to get me a piece of that sweet state government largess!

On to a construction project that is actually making progress
Construction is underway at the White House to build a temporary structure for next month's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight.
President Donald Trump is hosting the UFC Freedom 250 event on the South Lawn on Sunday, June 14, which will mark Flag Day, the day Congress approved the design of a national flag, and the president's 80th birthday.
Tickets are not listed for the 8 p.m. event, which will be available to watch on Paramount+, according to the UFC Freedom 250 website.
Crews have already started assembling the semi-circular structure on the lawn just behind the octagon and stands for people to watch. The structure was made in Pennsylvania and shipped to D.C.
Dana White, the CEO of the UFC, said he plans to keep the White House the backdrop for every fight.

Paxton Retires Arrogant Liberal GOPer John Cornyn In Absolute Drubbing
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I was wondering why no one made a call given such a lopsided vote total. It's because voting was still going on in the western (Mountain time) corner of the state.
The moment the clock struck 8pm Central, they called it.
Update: Per Decision Desk, with 52% reporting, Paxton is absolutely curb-stomping Cornyn 62% to 37%. We're getting to the point where, in order to win, Cornyn would have to win 80% of the outstanding vote. That's not going to happen, obviously.
Even before the endorsement, Paxton led in runoff polling, though Cornyn was not far behind until the days leading up to Trump's announcement. Yet the most recent polling in the race -- including surveys conducted before the endorsement -- found Paxton leading by at least 10 percentage points. In Decision Desk HQ's polling average, Paxton leads Cornyn by 15 points, 54%-39%.
Cornyn's primary race against challenger Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton finally comes to a head in today's runoff election. After what has been a particularly bruising primary, Cornyn expressed his worry that Republicans stand to lose a seat that would be devastating for the party's hopes of retaining a majority in the upper chamber.
Speaking with Fox News Digital ahead of Election Day, Cornyn touted Texas as "the most conservatively governed state in the country," making it a "land of opportunity and where the American dream is still very much alive."
"But I think all of that's at risk, depending on how this primary runoff turns out, because I think Ken Paxton's flaws and the baggage he brings to the general election are going to be exploited up to the fullest by James Talarico and by Democrats," he said.
Whoever emerges Tuesday night will have to face state Rep. James Talarico, a Democratic rising star who many in the party believe has broad enough appeal to finally flip the state for the first time in over two decades.
Cornyn expressed worry about Talarico's fundraising abilities, citing the $27 million he raised in the first quarter of the year. He asserted that if Paxton wins, "there will be a tsunami of money coming into the state from outside."
He also asserted that "it's not only that Senate seat he [Paxton] puts at risk, it's also all the down-ballot races, state legislative races, local races, like the judges and the like."
"We haven't elected a Democrat in statewide office since 1994 in Texas," he said. "President Trump is not running, so the Senate race will be at the top, and I believe that I will be in a better position to help provide a significant margin, a winning margin, not only in my case, but also to help everybody down ballot."
"I don't think the attorney general can do that because of the significant baggage he brings into the race, which jeopardizes success from the top to the bottom," he said.
Paxton has faced a slew of scandals and legal problems that have battered him over the past decade. In 2023, the Texas House of Representatives voted to impeach Paxton, but he was eventually acquitted of all charges by the state Senate.
Should we really be worried that if Texas Republicans nominate the conservative MAGA AG Ken Paxton, Texas Republicans will suddenly flip and vote for James Talarico in the general?

NBC:
The Republican-led South Carolina Senate on Tuesday voted against a measure to advance a new congressional map, ending the redistricting effort in the state for now.
The failed vote was a surprise rejection of President Donald Trump, who had urged lawmakers to pass a redrawn map that eliminated the state's single majority-Black district, represented by longtime Democratic Rep. James Clyburn.
The South Carolina House approved the map last week in hopes of putting it into place for this year's midterm elections. As part of the effort, lawmakers also sought to set another primary election for the affected districts in August. But after early voting began on Tuesday for the previously scheduled June primary, some Republicans changed their tune, arguing it was too late to enact new district lines.
"Neither my conscience nor my common sense will allow me to stop an election that is already underway," said Republican state Sen. Richard Cash, a Republican who changed his vote due to timing.
Speaking of ugly grifters who are going to lose their phony-baloney jobs: Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
Florida Democrats wrong a Strongly Worded Letter condemning Debbie's psychopathic need for power.
Almost all of Florida's elected Democratic National Committee members are condemning Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's decision to run for reelection in a district previously drawn to ensure Black voters' representation but targeted for redistricting by Gov. Ron DeSantis this year.
"Our party cannot credibly denounce the dismantling of Black political power by Republicans while treating one of Florida's few remaining majority-Black districts as a political opportunity for an incumbent seeking a safer seat," a group of 10 elected Florida DNC members wrote in a statement released Tuesday.
...
Wasserman Schultz, in Congress for more than 20 years, chose to run in a safe blue seat where a Democrat is all but guaranteed to win in the general election, instead of in one of the surrounding districts, newly drawn to favor Republicans.
It's almost as if these districts were drawn to secure partisan advantage, not racial advantage.
Wasserman Schultz lives in Florida's new 22nd District, which stretches from Coral Springs to Marco Island. Her previous voters were split five ways in Florida's new voting maps, but only a small portion of them were drawn into the 20th District.
Critics say she chose to take her $2.5 million war chest to an easier Democratic-leaning district to ensure her own political power.
"We cannot claim to defend voting rights, racial justice, and representation while undermining Black political power when it becomes politically convenient," the Florida DNC members wrote.
I wonder what she'll do when she gets her fat droopy ass kicked to the curb.
Maybe she'll go into modeling.
Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a Quint in it
Trump went to his six month physical at Walter Reed. Chris Cilizza, who attacked anyone who suggested that Biden was aging poorly and called it "low" politics, now sounds the alarm over Trump seeing the doctor "three times in thirteen months."
It's six month check-up. You're supposed do three six-month check-ups in any 13 month period. Do the math, asshole.
How many times do you have a six month check up in a 13 month period? Not two. You have to add one more because the period begins and ends with a visit, with another one in the middle.
But anyway, the entire left is now demanding we get very serious about interrogating the president about his health after five years of insisting that Biden was literally running circles around his 25-year-old staffers and was a "super-ager" and that any video showing him losing his train of thought, forgetting that the woman he was honoring was in fact dead and repeatedly calling her to the stage, routinely babbling incoherently, never being available any earlier than 10:30 in the morning and never later than 4:30, etc. was all right-wing "cheapfakes."
Here's one obvious mouth-dick docking module claiming that Biden routinely faced questions about his age but Trump doesn't.

NEW: The Newest Oldest President
Donald Trump has not faced the same scrutiny for his age as Joe Biden did. For now.
But as Trump is poised to turn 80 next month, questions about his health and increasingly erratic behavior are growing
Communist jihadist Zohran Mamdani did the inevitable and declared he would begin seizing the estates of "negligent" land-owners -- "wreckers," as the communist party calls them, people who don't use their property the way the state wants them to -- and give them to "responsible" managers, including the tenants of the buildings.
Speaking of socialist jihadis: Tucker Carlson advocates people just repudiating their debts. #FightThePower!
Tucker: "I think people should stop paying their credit cards."
Far-left political influencer Hasan Piker identified American Marxist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham as a major financier behind a network of pro-communist U.S. nonprofits engaged in "political advocacy" and "a lot of political movements," marking the first public acknowledgment from a figure inside the far-left network that organizations in the Singham network are operating with an explicitly political agenda.
The comments are significant because congressional investigators and watchdog groups have long argued that nonprofits connected to Singham are functioning as overt political operations while enjoying tax-exempt charitable status. Critics argue such activity may violate nonprofit tax laws, which place strict limits on the amount of political activity charities can conduct.
As Fox News Digital reported exclusively on Saturday, Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued an administrative subpoena to Piker and far-left CodePink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin for possibly violating sanctions against doing business with the Communist Party of Cuba when they traveled to the island nation in March for an ideologically-charged transnational convergence of communists in an international "convoy."
Piker and Benjamin haven't responded to requests for comment, but they have publicly defended their trips to March as "humanitarian" missions to help the people of Cuba.
At about 37 minutes in a six-hour livestream on Monday, headlined, "FEDS ARE AFTER ME," punctuated with two cursing emojis, Piker stunned listeners knowledgeable about the intricacies of far-left networks by saying that he believes federal investigators are ultimately targeting Singham and the organizations he supports, including CodePink and the self-declared communist organizations ANSWER Coalition and Party for Socialism and Liberation, for the "political" work they do.
Together, these groups and others in the Singham network have organized, coordinated and staffed most of the divisive anti-U.S. street protests the nation has seen over the past decade. Party for Socialism and Liberation is called "PSL" by far-left activists.
"I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink -- like anything that he has ever financed," Piker said during the stream.
Admitting that his Cuba trip was funded by the hostile communist foreign government may expose him to legal jeopardy:
Old clip of Hasan Piker saying the Cuban government facilitated the infrastructure for him to stream from the country, effectively providing a basis to arrest Piker as a foreign agent.
Tucker and the Turkish anchor baby Piker -- his parents quickly jetted to America to give birth there and make this foreign agent an "American citizen" -- will be guests on each other's shows well before the election.

"It's f**king f**ked." -- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source" Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.
