Women can dress however they want.

Women in the gym can dress however they want.

Men who have opinions about how women dress, need to all the way go fuck themselves. This toxic masculinity trend needs to end. These fragile men need to get out of the way of women in totality.

We do not answer to you.

We do not dress for you.

We do not need your useless opinions.

Men, get it together, do better.

Women, be mindful of the men you choose to elect into office during this election cycle. Listen to the words...

By the way, here's how the Child Murderess describes herself:

Casey Anthony @therealcaseyanthony

Researcher. Consultant. Author. Advocate. Activist. LGBTQIA+ Ally🏳️‍🌈. - Protect the dolls. Stand with women. - We are Jane Doe.

Are you joking. Are you joking.

Lisa Elizabeth @Lisaelizabeth

I just don't get why women are so dishonest. Like -- just admit that you dress like that because you want people, especially men, to think that you're hot. And by hot I mean sexually attractive. That's why the shorts are short and tight and scrunch up around your butt to make your butt look bigger and rounder. Why? Because you think men like big round juicy butts. You wear low-cut tops because men find breasts attractive. Cut the bullshit that you do it just for you or that it's more comfortable because you don't and it's not. Just freaking own it.

And if you are going to dress like that, don't expect people not to look because that's specifically why you chose the outfit you did. Furthermore, don't get mad when people you don't think are hot hit on you. You can't have it both ways.

Aside from it being problematic for society and relationships between men and women, thing that frustrates me the most is the dishonesty in all of it. You know why you do it, we know why you do it. I am so tired of people expecting others not to be honest about things that are blatantly/obviously/objectively true.

woodsplitter @woodsplittergpy

are they in denial that they are sooo desperate for male attention; or are they upset and embarrassed that they have to use their fat shiny poopers (as opposed to their superior intellects, and healthier psyches) to get it??

I had Fat Shiny Poopers' debut EP. It was an import from the UK on Stiff Records.

The Camas County cross country girls were forced to sleep with the male cheater at away meets.

During a recent high school cross-country meet in Washington, in which female athletes walked off the course instead of running against a trans-identified male runner who had switched to the female division earlier in the season, it has been revealed that the male athlete shared a hotel room with a female member of the team.

This took place during Camas High School's trip to the Nike Hole in the Wall Invitational in Arlington, which took place on October 10. Per Clark County Today, members of the cross-country team were lodged in a hotel at the expense of the school district. The biological male running of the girls' team, Logan Mihailoff, shared a hotel room with a female member of the Camas team.

Camas School District Communications and Media Manager Doreen McKercher told the outlet, "Coaching staff coordinate room assignments for overnight athletic trips and may consider student-athletes' preferences. We can confirm that no student was required to share a room with someone they were uncomfortable rooming with. To protect student privacy, we will not discuss individual room assignments or accommodations."

A woman who assisted a transgender who shot up a school in British Columbia thinks it's not fair that she's being held in jail.

And when I say "woman," I mean it in the Canadian sense: I mean a man who dresses as a woman and who helps another transgender kill children.

The lawyer for a Washington resident accused of conspiring with the Tumbler Ridge shooter told a judge Tuesday his client has co-operated fully with police since the February shooting and does not pose a threat to the public.

The accused, James Cody Bryant, 30, of Bellingham, Wash., appeared in U.S. District Court in Seattle for a pretrial detention hearing Thursday. Ms. Bryant goes by Melody and uses she/her pronouns, according to her lawyers.

She wore glasses, and a beige button-down jumpsuit over her slight frame. Her long hair reached past her shoulders.

Her?

Ms. Bryant's lawyer, public defender Gregory Murphy, argued his client could be safely released before trial under conditions, including potential house detention, a mental health assessment and strict monitoring of her online activities.

He noted Ms. Bryant, who was arrested last week, was shocked by the shooting and has co-operated with police since the days after it occurred.

Tumbler Ridge shooter was aided by conspirator in Washington State, authorities allege

"Words fail when we talk about the horror of what Van Rootselaar did ... Ms. Bryant, I think, feels that also," Mr. Murphy said, referring to shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar. He noted his client has sobbed during interviews with the FBI.

But the judge rejected the defence's request and opted to keep Ms. Bryant in custody.

Ms. Bryant faces charges of aiding Ms. Van Rootselaar, 18, in planning and executing the mass shooting at a school in the northern B.C. mining town in February.

Ms. Van Rootselaar killed her mother and half-brother at their family home on Feb. 10 before proceeding to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where she killed five students and an educational assistant. She then turned a gun on herself. It was the deadliest school shooting in Canadian history.

Immigrant to the UK complains: These native-born British citizens are stealing jobs from deserving illegal immigrants.

How. Dare. They.

It's almost as if these native citizens believe they have rights in their own country.

Over the past couple of decades, more than a few British people have accused immigrants of stealing their jobs, by under-cutting them on pay. At last, though, it seems that things may be starting to change. Because these days, apparently, it's the other way round.

Or so I gather from a fascinating quote in our report, published on Sunday, about places in Britain where a majority of adults are claiming out-of-work benefits. In Birmingham, our reporter interviewed a local man named Mohammad Khan. And he said: "Here it is hard to get a job. A lot of students come and pick up part-time jobs. They take over the housing. They work for a lower rate and they can speak English."

If the ability to speak English is giving these students a decisive advantage in the Birmingham jobs market, that means the people they're under-cutting must be immigrants who can't speak English. In which case, I hope Birmingham isn't going to see mass protests by unemployed immigrants, muttering: "Bloody British. Coming over here, stealing our jobs." Then again, if they can only say this in another language, I suppose we won't know what they're protesting about.

The Millionaire Tech Weirdo Who Says His Biohacking Will Grant Him Immortality Finds a New Way to Weird You Out

—Disinformation Expert Ace

A couple of weeks ago I spoke casually about supplementing potassium. A commenter chided me for speaking about taking a supplement that could lead to hyperkalemia, which at high enough levels can be fatal. Or just cause you neurological damage.

I also have been watching Elementary and noticed someone was murdered by an injections of potassium chloride, which caused a heart attack.

So... don't take much potassium as a supplement. There's a reason the pills you can buy only have 3% of the USRDA of potassium.

On to the story:

This is the guy with a full scientific/medical lab in his house who does multiple analyses of his blood and biological fluids every single day.

His theory is that science is approaching the point where it could reverse aging, so if he can just extend his life to, say, 120, he will become immortal. He's said something to the effect of "these will be the last generations to know death." Or something like that, less poetical.

Among his tests: He wears some kind of a genital cuff around his dong at night because nighttime erections have been linked to longevity.

His "girlfriend," who seems nearly as weird as he is, wants in on this too.

So she tracks her own "nighttime erections" with an electronic tampon.

I'm staring to think this guy might be a flake.

A device that measures nighttime female "erections" to gauge longevity? Now that's a biohacker's wet dream.

Every night, Kate Tolo inserts a $15,700 "research grade erection device" into what her boyfriend and business partner, biohacker Bryan Johnson, famously called her "top 1%" vagina.

In fact, both of them wear an erection tracker nightly. Johnson says he's looking to maintain healthy erections, which some experts agree is a predictor of longevity for men.

And Tolo -- despite not having a penis -- wants in on the action.

Atoms Family Values

Tolo says women get "erections" too -- and it's possible that tracking them could give ladies similar longevity insights.

I'll spare you the details but the science says the Little Man in the Prow of the Boat stands up a couple of times per night.

"The light sensor inside my probe is the same kind smartwatches use to read your heart rate," she explained.

...

Tolo's vaginal "erection" data is not easy to get. Her device costs $15,723.68 and is like "lab equipment in my bedroom," she said.

"I insert the 5cm probe [and] tape a wire to my leg that is plugged into a machine and a laptop. The laptop can't fall asleep or we lose the data. I sadly learned that through experience."

Meanwhile, Johnson's can be bought online for $275 and connects to a smartphone.

"I've tracked my nighttime erections for years ... It's one of the best signals I have for vascular health, and it costs $275," Johnson said. "The gap in our devices sums up the current status of female health.

...

Tolo has been outspoken about the disparity in research on women's health.

This year, she created "the female protocol" to measure 1,900 biomarkers across blood, urine, stool and vaginal microbiome, while holding diet, sleep and exercise constant.

The happy couple is all smiles as they show off their genital probes:

On to some health-related stories:

Commenters have pointed out what they believe is the explanation for Talarico's Dozen Days of Disappearance.

Sexually-transmitted diarrhea.

You don't have to be a pioneer on the Oregon Trail to catch the bug that causes dysentery.

Nowadays, the infection is spreading more through sex -- and evolving into something that's "close to untreatable," one expert said.

Shigella bacteria infect nearly half a million people in the US every year -- causing diarrhea with blood or mucus (the hallmark of a dysentery infection), stomach pain, cramps, fever and vomiting.

Scientists are learning more about why the disturbing disease is spreading so quickly, and why it's developing a resistance to treatment.

Shigella is a nasty illness that causes more than uncomfortable doo-doos. It can become life-threatening by dehydrating and depleting bodily fluids including blood, causing bacterial and septic shock, neurological complications, and internal bleeding and infection.

The bacteria spreads through infected poop that gets into the mouth because of ill-washed hands, or swallowing tainted food or water. A minuscule amount -- as few as 10 organisms -- is enough to get you sick.

The population most likely to get infected are children under 5, who catch it at day care and schools from other kids who are just starting to learn about keeping themselves clean. Travelers to places where sanitation standards are lower, and people experiencing homelessness are also at higher risk.

Hollywood: Crap or Rubbish?

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Netflix is the most left-wing of all media behemoths -- except for Disney. They're tied.

Netflix has just slashed 1000 jobs.

Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab is laying off 6% of its workforce, or roughly 1,000 employees, in its biggest cuts since ​2022, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters, as the streaming pioneer ‌faces tough competition for viewers from legacy rivals and YouTube.

The bulk of the job cuts would be in Netflix's product, tech, legal and human-resources teams, the email Co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos sent to ​employees on Wednesday showed.

They're getting no criticism for this. Leftists play life on its easy settings.

WDW_Pro points out that Mark Ruffalo and his other communist antisemite pals attacked Skydance for a year over hypothetical future reductions in workforce. Skydance was going to destroy Hollywood and California itself with layoffs.

But when the company he demanded be allowed to purchase Warner Bros. cuts 1000 jobs, he says NOTHING. Because he's a taqiyya communist and lies are like breaths to him.

They also point out that the other super-left media company, the Disney Groomer Corporation, just cut 600 jobs. No objections from Ruffalo.

AG @AGHamilton29

The entire continued freakout over @bariweiss and CBS News is simply because the left believes they are entitled to controlling the media narrative and feel threatened that even one major news organization might present the other side.

If you follow the news closely, you will see that they act like a herd and always cover the same stories from the same perspectives. Far more important is what they choose not to cover. The factual stories and perspectives that they simply ignore because they don't fit the narratives that the so many of the activists in their news and editorial rooms prefer.

They don't even want people exposed to those stories/views if it's not coming from outlets they can dismiss like FNC or the NY Post because it might allow people who aren't openly partisan choose how they understand these issues for themselves. That's the entire threat.

It's not that CBS News might become ideologically right-wing. There is zero evidence Weiss is pushing for them to only report things from that perspective and plenty of evidence that's not true. It's simply that it could expose people to the other side, and that can't be allowed.

So the tantrums will continue.

I'm sick of this brain-damaged rummy and I'm glad he's aging like milk.

Actor Ben Affleck went on the attack against those who support the deportation of criminal illegal aliens -- support that has long been bipartisan -- and insisted that supporters off President Donald Trump's immigration policies are rooted in "xenophobia."

He also claimed that it is "totally false" that Democrats have been refusing to prosecute illegal migrant murderers and rapists.

NYC First Lady Painted Portrait of Her 'Inspiration': A Jew-Hating Artist Who Said 'Anne Frank' Is a Hoax, Posted Hitler's Paintings, and Celebrated Oct 7

Rama Duwaji's obsession with the Palestinian cause is shown in her reverence for the violence-tinged painter Sliman Mansour

New York City first lady Rama Duwaji's self-declared artistic "inspiration," whose portrait she's painted in tribute, is a radical Hamas propagandist who praised the terror group's leaders as "great heroes," openly celebrated the Oct. 7 attack against Israel, and has claimed that The Diary of Anne Frank is a Jewish forgery.

Sliman Mansour, a Palestinian artist, was also pleased when a warlike reinterpretation of one of his paintings was used as a backdrop for an angry press conference by future Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, where he thanked Iran for funding Hamas.

Mansour died in August after spending decades propping up violent "resistance" movements against the State of Israel. Before that, Duwaji had animated a portrait of the painter and indicated he "inspired the work that I do."

"Hi, I'm Rama, a Syrian illustrator and animator based in Brooklyn, and today I'm going to be animating a portrait of Sliman Mansour, who is a painter and sculptor that's inspired the work that I do. Sliman is an artist of the Intifada," said Houston-born Duwaji, the wife of Zohran Mamdani, in a video first posted online in April 2024.

The second intifada, in the early 2000s, involved thousands of terror attacks against Israelis, including deadly suicide bombings on buses. It left more than a thousand Israelis dead, mostly civilians.

Mansour's work "is about the Palestinian experience under occupation, and growing up seeing his paintings, I was always really inspired by the emotion behind his portraits," Duwaji continued.

The video shows her working in a Palestinian-themed studio under a large banner reading "Artists Against Apartheid: Palestine Will Be Free"--a reference widely considered an antisemitic trope. She wears a keffiyeh-patterned headband and even lights a candle using matches from a Brooklyn Palestinian restaurant.

"Sliman has been jailed twice since the start of his career," Duwaji says proudly. "And since then, he's inspired many artists after him, including myself."

Zohran Mamdani's father: "America is the root of all evil in the world, and it was the inspiration for the Nazis. Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln."

Elon Musk unveiled Tesla's long-awaited Roadster on Thursday, claiming the electric sports car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than a second, reach speeds of 230 mph and even fly. The vehicle reportedly uses thrusters to achieve its extreme acceleration, though details about its flight capabilities remain unclear. Tesla says production is expected to begin in 2028, with no price announced.

Tesla has unveiled its new and redesigned Roadster - a 'flying car' that can turn in the air and land.

Developed in collaboration with CEO Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX, it's claimed the Roadster can accelerate from zero to 60mph in less than one second and can hit a top speed of over 230 mph.

Tesla demonstrated the two-seater vehicle at a livestreamed event in Texas, showing it driving upside down on a ramp and performing a mid-air flip.

Musk told the crowd, "It can basically fly like a rocket", but admitted it's "not necessarily a safety-optimised car."

It remains unclear how the proposed flying features would work on public roads, or whether they would be legal. Production is set to start in 2028.

I saw this last night and immediately thought, of course, "AI."

NOPE.

MSNOW Of All Outlets Challenges Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's Lie About Having No Familial Connections to the Muslim Brotherhood

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Over the weekend, extreme partisan Kristin Welker asked Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed if he or his family had any connections to the Egyptian terrorist group which begat Al Qaeda and Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood. He said "No," flatly, and Welker did not ask any follow-up questions nor confront him with tweets from his half-sister bragging about his mother's "activism" in the Muslim Brotherhood while in college.

As usual, when a Democrat media operative "asks questions" of a Democrat about a scandal, they do not challenge the Democrat -- instead, they helpfully offer the Democrat an opportunity to deny the allegation without any pushback or interrogation.

However, a male reporter at MSNOW confronted Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed in an on-the-street interview, and did ask him about his half-sister's praise of his mother for being a member of the terrorist group.

El-Sayed sputtered out various defenses, including the bizarre assertion that it's just not a "serious" matter whether or not he comes from a family of terrorists, and also objected to the very idea that he should be questioned about his terrorist ties. In the end, he seemed to suggest that it's just not important whether or not he belongs to a family of terrorists and we should just all MoveOn.org.

The new story he seems to have settled on is that he has never spoken with his mother about being a Muslim terrorist so it's not fair to charge him with knowledge of it or call him a liar for denying it.

Note that when he denied his mother's membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, he did not say "I never spoke to her about it." He just insisted she was not a member of the terrorist group.

Oh, and he claims his sister' reportage of his mother's membership in the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood is just "hearsay" that no one should bother themselves about.

Just some "hearsay" from people in the family who are the greatest authorities on the histories of members of the family.

Chuck Ross for Free Beacon:

Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed dismissed his sister's claims that their Egyptian relatives are members of the Muslim Brotherhood as "hearsay" in a heated exchange with Tom Llamas of NBC News. El-Sayed denied any personal knowledge of his family's deep ties to the Islamist organization.

Llamas pressed El-Sayed about social media posts from El-Sayed's sister, Eman Abdelhadi, in which she said her family has "long been" in the Muslim Brotherhood. Abdelhadi said her relatives in Egypt have been "jailed" over their ties to the group, according to the posts, which were first reported by the Washington Free Beacon. She also said that her and El-Sayed's mother, Fatten Elkomy, was active in the Brotherhood as a college student in Egypt in the 1970s.

The posts came to light after El-Sayed told Meet the Press on Sunday that neither he nor his family have ties to the Brotherhood. El-Sayed bristled when Llamas asked him to "just explain" them.

"You want to ask me about what was happening in Egypt in 1970? Are you serious?" El-Sayed said.

Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo's a terrorist or not.

What a frivolous line of questioning! Ask about serious matters like what Trump's plan for reducing the price of arugla is.

"I get it, but you were asked a question," Llamas responded. "Yeah, I'm telling you, like, we--I have no ties. We have no ties," El-Sayed said. "So your mother had no ties?" asked Llamas. "I have never had these conversations with my mother," said El-Sayed. "Like, you're using hearsay evidence from a tweet. This is not serious."

When Llamas noted that El-Sayed has "gone after the president for truthfulness," El-Sayed responded, "Are you insinuating that somehow I was lying?" "I don't know. That's why I'm asking," Llamas responded.

No ties to the Muslim Brotherhood here, no siree!

It's not the first time El-Sayed claims to have been kept out of the loop of his Egyptian family's doings. He said as recently as 2016 that he had "dual citizenship" in Egypt and the United States. His campaign now says that statement was an "error" and based on inaccurate information from an unnamed relative.

In 2012, he signed an open letter calling on the newly elected Brotherhood to "purge" the press and police in Egypt, the Free Beacon reported. In a since-deleted 2021 Substack post, El-Sayed defended a "friend" of his who was jailed for funding the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, considered to be one of the most violent chapters of the group. El-Sayed's father in law, Tayeb Jukaku, is a longtime board member of the Islamic Society of North America, which federal prosecutors identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front group.

Abdelhadi, who was arrested last year for assaulting a cop in Chicago during an anti-ICE protest, did not respond to questions about her brother's remarks.

Child Killer in Oregon Shooting Spree Identified

—Disinformation Expert Ace

He was himself killed by a good guy with a gun.

Alas, the killer murdered three children and an adult before he was cut down.

Three children and a teacher were killed, and two others critically wounded, in a shooting on Thursday at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, authorities said.

The suspect, a 16-year-old male, was shot and killed by a bystander, Bend police said.

Along with the teacher, the three children killed were ages 5, 8 and 11, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said in a news conference Thursday night. Two others, a 7-year-old child and a 54-year-old teacher, were taken to St. Charles Medical Center with critical injuries. No names were immediately released.

Krantz said that officers were called to the school just before 1 p.m. on a 911 call from a person who said they had been shot at several times while in their vehicle by a suspect with a long gun. Emergency dispatchers then received dozens of 911 calls that the suspect had entered the school.

The shooter forced his way into the school by "shooting at locked doors," Krantz said.

When officers arrived at the school within three minutes of the first 911 call, they discovered that the suspect had been killed by a bystander, Krantz said.

"An officer reported that the suspect had been shot by a community member who had seen the suspect enter the school and pursued him into the school and engaged him," Krantz told reporters.

After officers entered the building, Krantz said, they found the four deceased victims.

Officials would not say exactly what type of weapon was used in the attack or how many rounds were fired. Multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News the suspect used a shotgun.

There was no word on a motive.

Which causes us to very justifiably suspect it's one of the motives that the corrupt and craven establishment like to hide from the public.

The Teen of Obscured Allegiance was armed with a shotgun, the Daily Mail says,
purchased by his mother.

So he had the one weapon Joe Biden told people to buy, and it was likely legally purchased by a mother with no criminal record.

A teenage gunman who murdered three children and a teacher an an Oregon school shot through a secure area meant to keep children safe from killers like him, before being taken down by a hero bystander rumored to be a student's father.

The as-yet-unidentified 16-year-old was carrying a long gun that he used to shoot the locks out of 'secure vestibules' at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend shortly before 1pm PT Thursday, The Oregonian reported.

Those vestibules see visitors granted access to a locked porch area, whose second electronic door then opens into the school once they have been screened.

But that supposedly secure system was easily overcome on Thursday afternoon when the shooter shot his way into the special education area of the school and killed three children aged five, eight and 11 as well as a teacher. A seven-year-old child and 54-year-old teacher were also rushed to hospital in critical condition.

...

[A teacher] said: 'They were so afraid, the looks on their faces. It was really hard to see, [I] was just trying to calm them down.

'Some kids were praying, some kids were consoling other kids, but doing so quietly because they know you don't make any noise.'

Smith and her students were ultimately rescued from being killed by a good Samaritan who spotted the teenager and followed him into the building, shooting him dead shortly after he began his rampage.

Dispatch audio suggested the hero was the father of a student at the school, with 'It looks like the shooter has been neutralized, possibly shot by a father at the school' picked up by multiple news outlets.

...

One onlooker was sitting in his red Toyota Tacoma idling outside the school when he spotted the teen approaching the Silver Rail building with his gun.

Concerned by what he saw, the driver confronted the teen who returned a series of shots at the vehicle. A second good Samaritan then confronted the shooter inside the school and killed him.

A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting told The Associated Press the teen used a pump-action shotgun that was purchased by his mother.

The killer has been identified as John J. Griffin.

Ilhan "Omar" Disappears; Husband Asked If She's Fled the Country

—Disinformation Expert Ace

I mean her current husband, the one with the wine-label "business" that zoomed up to $5 million in value and then was "corrected" down to six buck twenty, not the brother she married to fraudulently obtain a Green Card for.

Dmitri Bolt at Townhall:

"Hey Tim, there are rumors that the congresswoman left the country, is that true?" a Fox News Digital reporter asked.

"You're annoying the hell out of all the neighbors around here man," Mynett replied.

"No, I just wanted to get your response to everything that's been going on, that's all," the reporter said. "And what the president's saying about the net worth and the investigation. Just giving you a chance to respond."

SPOTTED: Ilhan Omar's husband Tim Mynett snapped at questions surrounding rumors that the congresswoman fled the country following a federal raid by Homeland Security Investigations. He was seen outside their Washington, D.C., home multiple times, but Omar has not been spotted since the raid.

Full story here https://t.co/M8MCCxSsp4

— Fox News Politics (@foxnewspolitics) October 15, 2026

Remember that Ilhan "Omar" isn't just being investigated for immigration fraud -- but for financial fraud as well.

I imagine the "winery" that produces no actual wine is a major part of this investigation.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro revealed Tuesday that her office is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar's financial disclosures, opening a new chapter in the controversy surrounding the Minnesota Democrat's previously reported multimillion-dollar assets.

Speaking on Fox News' "America Reports," Pirro said her office was examining Omar's financial disclosures, which previously showed that the reported value of businesses tied to her husband, Tim Mynett, had surged from as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.

As I understand it, the "winery" isn't a winery. What the "business" seems to be is a company that buys wine from actual wineries then slaps its own label on it and resells it.

I cannot say with certainty but this seems very much like Hunter Biden's "watercolor paintings" -- a commodity whose objective price is hard to establish so it could be "sold" for any number of dollars to political donors whose real object, as with Hunter's Watercolors, is just to funnel money to a politician in a way that avoids reporting requirements and donation limits.

Six dollar bottle of wine might "sell" for $1000 because it's got that classy, high-status Mynett-Omar brand attached to it. You can't cry foul because who knows what a bottle of wine is worth?

This is speculation on my part but what other theory fits the facts here?

THE MORNING RANT: Perhaps Cars and Grocery Freezers Shouldn’t Be Subject to Hacking and Bad Programming

—Buck Throckmorton

Here are three unrelated stories, but they share a theme, specifically that “improving” machinery with complicated software and remote internet access often renders the machinery compromised and inoperable. (h/t to @ComradeArthur for a couple of these tips.)

First: Chinese electric vehicles that were rented to the Norwegian military by a Chinese-controlled rental car company made video recordings of confidential military information.

“Chinese-Owned Rental Cars Recorded Norwegian Military Drill” [Defence Blog – 12/12/2026]

Rental cars used by Norway’s Home Guard during a large exercise in September recorded video of soldiers, their routes, and the codes they typed into military gates, according to a soldier who took part, Norwegian business daily Dagens Næringsliv reported.

The cars were rented by the Norwegian Armed Forces from Hertz in Norway, which belongs to Volvo Cars and, through Volvo, to China’s Geely group. At least two of them were electric cars from Deepal, a brand of Chinese automaker Changan.

America’s principled free traders dream of allowing China and its electric spy cars into our market, and if you seek to protect private-sector American industrial jobs from being lost to Chinese state-controlled industries, those same “free traders” will call you a socialist.

Second: The start of the recent Formula One race in Malaysia had to be aborted because bad programming rendered many of the supercars unable to move faster than a slow crawl, if they weren’t bricked altogether.

“FIA to Investigate Software Bug after Bahrain GP in Malaysia” [Reuters – 10/02/2026]

The governing FIA said afterwards that "an unprecedented combination of low engine speed, low-grip conditions, wet-weather energy management settings and the Sepang circuit’s sector configuration led to an unintended loss of power for a number of cars."

F1 cars are now part electric and part internal combustion, and there is programming required to make the two forms of propulsion integrate. That software apparently didn’t take into account such unforeseen things as low speed and wet roads, which rendered the cars undriveable.

Traditional gasoline-powered cars without internet connectivity can drive in pretty much any weather condition. So of course, all the smart people are determined to proceed with technology that flakes out in bad weather, or when software hasn’t anticipated every permutation of temperature, precipitation, rpm, and speed.

Any car that needs software updates to keep operating is a car than can be kept from running due to malicious software.

Third: If I ran a business in which much of my inventory must be kept refrigerated or frozen, I would certainly maintain remote monitoring systems so I would know if any refrigerators were broken or not holding temperature. Inventory obviously must be protected from spoilage. What I would not do is create remote internet controls so that anyone hacking into the remote monitoring system can also sabotage the refrigeration equipment.

“French Supermarket Fridges Get Hacked, Heating to 122°F and Sparking Fires” [10/13/2026]

Hackers targeted hundreds of French supermarkets in a cyberattack that reportedly caused refrigerators and freezers to overheat, spoiling food and sparking fires. Fridges at [various supermarket chains] saw fridges heat up to as much as 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight.

While this incident was in France, not the U.S., I can’t help but believe that the corporate obsession with automation and elimination of labor expense contributed to this cyber-attack on the food supply. Too many business executives are antagonistic toward the blue-collar tradesmen who keep their machinery running. They desperately want to believe that AI, or software, or a slick presentation from an expensive consultant can rid them of the annoyance of paying professional compensation to a skilled laborer.

Remote monitoring is obviously required. Remote access and control, however, is an invitation to destructive hacking. That invitation was obviously accepted.

—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. In the lead there was yet another school shooting this time up in the town of Bend, Oregon. First and foremost prayers offered for the victims and their loved ones. For that of course we are to be mocked and scorned by our fellow citizens in name only, of the Left. I don't know about Oregon in general but Bend from what I know is a very Leftist community, and given the undue influence of Portland on the entire state I'll just assume the restrictions on the second amendment are widespread and in full force. I'm sure the usual geschrei from the Communists in both the propagandist media and politics will be at maximum volume and intensity, as is the case in the wake of incidents like this and with the crucial midterms just over two weeks away, the insanity of early voting already underway.

With that said, there are a few things worthy of note for this edition of the report, so let's kick things off with this nightmarish if not completely unsurprising story. That it is unsurprising is equally nightmarish, and yet.

A University of Wyoming student was arrested after police say she tried to poison a colleague, then attempted to flee to China when officers questioned her. Aili Wang, 32, was questioned by campus police after surveillance cameras set up by a coworker experiencing medical symptoms allegedly caught her rinsing his mug with liquid from her own cup on Oct. 1, according to a University of Wyoming police affidavit, which added that she was seen on camera “taking photos and manipulating notebooks.” Wang didn’t get along with the coworker, who wasn’t named in court documents. Surveillance footage allegedly showed Wang searching through the victim’s desk; the victim specialized in disease treatment technology, work similar to what she had done in China. . . Now you may think this is just some sort of bizarre thing that one crazy person did. But there’s been a pattern of such incidents all involving foreign researchers and students involved in the sciences on college campuses. . .

. . . There’s some obvious patterns here. . .Professional rivalry likely plays a role. China is very academically competitive and while the vast majority of students aren’t poisoning people, clearly some are, while others understand that such behaviors exist. Call it ‘cultural differences’. Or something else to be aware of.

I for one it's not personal, but it's high-level Chi-Com intrigue and sabotage. Considering what American Universities have been doing to the minds of young people for decades, this is almost a nothing-burger in comparison. And, thank you Harry Truman for not letting MacArthur storm across the Yalu River, nor nuking Beijing while we had the chance.

And then we have these — poison pen letters.

“The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide, including Secretary of State offices and their related election offices,” an FBI spokesperson told Fox News. “Some of the letters contained an unknown substance and we are working closely with our law enforcement partners to respond to each incident.” The notice included an image of one of the envelopes. The return addresses indicate the letters came from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) with the address the organization lists on its membership forms: 75 Maiden Lane in New York City.

By any means necessary, we must have paradise on earth!

If you went to public school any time after 2000, you may not have even taken a history class. If you did, it’s highly unlikely that the lefties who taught you covered how many Soviet citizens died under Josef Stalin. Under Stalin, roughly 1.7 million Soviet citizens died in gulags from 1930 to 1953. That doesn’t include the roughly 5 million to 7 million who died from famine as a result of socialist policies. Yale historian Timothy Snyder has estimated that Stalin’s regime deliberately murdered about 6 million Soviet citizens. . .

. . . As leftists often tell us any time we point out the failures of socialism, “That’s because it’s never been tried the right way before.”

Let’s see whether the leader of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) got it right. Mao Zedong’s kill numbers are from the low “tens of millions” to upward of 80 million.  All were his own people. No one can get a very accurate count for how many he killed, because the best possible sources were killed.

As with Russia, Mao’s weapon of choice was famine – letting people starve to death.Historians say that under Mao, his people suffered from the deadliest famine in recorded history. They blame “collectivization,” falsified food production data and reports, suppression (censorship) of accurate information, and general mismanagement. . . What none of them see coming is that when socialism fails, and it always does, the leaders already know whom to blame: conservatives and Republicans, all because they resisted the socialist wave and made it difficult to actually execute socialism the right way.

The embrace of Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, El-Sayed and all the rest by far too many of our young people and considering the saga of American academia for over 60 years many many more who should be old enough to know better but of course don't.

It's been said probably in every election since '64 if not before, but this one and '28 could be lights out forever if either or both go south. At least the Democrats of yore were better at hiding who and what they were/are way back when, or that's how I seem to remember things. Nowadays the freak flags are flying in the breeze.

And right out front and high is the flag of ISLAM!

On these and all the rest I bid you all to have a great weekend.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - October 15, 2026 [scampydog]

—Open Blogger

Welcome to the Thursday ONT. Double feature/content o'plenty edition. Your regular Thursday host (Doof) has surrendered the keys for the evening. He's off to Texas to meet with people who know each other by their AoSHQ handles, puns, and various online pleasantries.

We will keep the one-night transition (not transaction) mostly peaceful. Keeping the lights on, the doors open, and the comment section moderately unsupervised.

James Bond had Q for his gadgets. We consumers got Ron Popeil and Ronco for ours. The Salad Spinner, Miracle Brush, Mr. Microphone, Pocket Fisherman, and more. Ronco history. Who got sucked in and made a purchase?

Ronco refined its marketing and distribution techniques with its second televised product, the "Chop-O-Matic." Produced by Popeil Brothers, this "food chopper with rotating blades" had been peddled by Ron Popeil on the fair circuit since the late 1950s. Not only was the commercial for this device longer, at five minutes, but Ronco also made this its first mail-order product. Delighted with the Chop-O-Matic's success, Sam Popeil invented and manufactured the Dial-O-Matic and what would become Ronco's first blockbuster, the Veg-O-Matic. Ron Popeil's television ad fueled the sale of over nine million units for $50 million worth of these rather primitive food processors.

Universities cutting ties with foreign groups?

The Department of War mandated the universities conduct a review of their foreign partnerships following its updates to a list of "foreign institutions engaging in problematic activities." Reports were due at the beginning of this school year.

The American Association of University Professors challenged the Department of War's audit along with the American Federation of Teachers in August.

Of course they challenged. That's what commies do. People who are deeply invested in an ideology react defensively to information that threatens them/it. It's not confirmation bias if you call it ideological consistency. At least, that's what the Confirmation Bias Department would like you to believe.

Update here.

Predicting the future: the commentariat will hyperventilate. We should ready ourselves for the usual lectures about decorum, solemn denunciations, and grave warnings about the deplorable portion of society. I expect a parade of earnest pundits lecturing us that the real scandal is the response (public firing squad) rather than Nidal Hasan's actions (murdering 13 people).

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has announced that the execution of convicted Fort Hood Islamist terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan will be "PUBLIC," with American soldiers carrying out the firing squad at the very military installation where Hasan murdered 13 people and wounded 32 others in 2009.

The ONT is here for: 1) those of you currently evading the U.S. Marshals or considering it as a future career pivot, and 2) those committed to maintaining operational readiness.

A few friendly reminders from the world of being on the run: Predictable routines are a gift to anyone trying to find you. Burner phones are not magical talismans. And purchasing a black turtleneck does not, in fact, make you invisible to federal law enforcement nor does it make you Archer. US Marshals. They are decidely unimpressed by your burner phone.

The thing that sticks with you after that video isn’t some secret gadget or Hollywood manhunt trick. It’s the patience of it. US Marshals can work through the ordinary leftovers of a person’s life until the hiding place starts getting smaller… an old address that still matters, somebody who knows more than they realize, a car that turns up in the right area, or a routine that finally becomes predictable enough to be useful.

Now we know. Tungsten Carbide Pins. Sounds techy - I don't know enough about it to render judgment on accuracy. Fun and curious reading, however.

In automotive assembly, for example, fixture plates use carbide pins to locate body panels during welding. The pins slide into corresponding holes, ensuring each panel sits in precisely the right position before robotic welders do their work. Because these fixtures cycle thousands of times per day, the pins need to resist wear that would gradually enlarge the holes and degrade positioning accuracy. The same principle applies in: • Aerospace jigs for composite layup and drilling operations • Electronics manufacturing where circuit boards require precise positioning • Medical device assembly where tolerances are measured in micrometers • Tool and die construction for stamping and forming operations

Drunk and Homely Female Democrat Lives in a Van Down by the River and Threatens Republicans, "We Have Guns Too"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

A retarded woman running as a Democrat -- is there any other kind? -- was plainly drunk and possibly on drugs when she popped into a studio for a scheduled interview.

A Democrat running for county council in eastern Indiana was ridiculed Tuesday after critics claimed she appeared "s--- faced" and slurred her way through attacks on Republicans during a televised candidate forum.

During the forum, Fayette County Council candidate Jaime West said she would "fire all Republicans" if elected, railed against "MAGAs" she called "racist" and unintelligent and alleged that a sheriff's nephew had threatened to kill her. Asked for a final message to voters, West responded: "We have guns too."

"This is not a skit," said LibsOfTikTok, a popular conservative punditry account run by commentator Chaya Raichik.

"Jaime West, a Democrat running for Fayette County Council in Indiana, gave an embarrassing interview where she appears to mumble and rant the entire time. Is she intoxicated?" Raichik asked on X.

...

When asked one decision she would make if elected that constituents would find unpopular, West told the moderator, "Fire all Republicans."

"I wouldn't let them -- I don't even talk to them. I don't like them. They voted against -- their own state representative voted against her own party," West continued while also pledging not to raise taxes.

"Y'all did this to us. ... You made this happen. This ICE coming into our communities, stealing people's jobs. I mean, I've been threatened so many times to my face by MAGA; we'll call them, because there's Republicans who actually get it. You know, there are good Republicans out there, but then there's these MAGAs who are just racist and aren't very intelligent at all," West continued.

"They call you names. The sheriff's nephew threatened to blow my head off. But, you know, what are you going to do?"

The sheriff says he has no idea what this brain-damaged woman is talking about. #BelieveAllSheriffs.

The moderator paused before asking West for a final message to voters.

"We have guns too," West said as the moderator pivoted to informing viewers about how to vote in the Hoosier State's elections this year.

Remember, all leftists are smarter than you. Their ideology assures them this the case. That's why they're so passionate about it. Their ideology tells them, despite all available evidence, that they are special and superior.

Do these people live on another planet? College campuses are already anti-men to the max. Many male college students I've spoken with tell me they feel like a punching bag. Absolutely delusional to suggest that college men "aren’t being taught about inequality, power & sexism."

Kamala Harris is still pretending she's running for president.

Fweedom!

Former Vice President Kamala Harris called for institutional changes to the Supreme Court and the Electoral College during an interview Tuesday, calling for more justices on the highest court in the nation.

"The work that we can do about winning back the House and the Senate is going to be on a number of things. For example, I believe that we need to expand the Supreme Court. We need more justices on the Supreme Court so that we can have a court that actually reinforces the spirit and principles behind the Constitution of the United States," Harris told podcast host Keke Palmer on her "Baby, This is Keke Palmer" podcast.

"I believe that we should be pushing for what is possible around changing the Electoral College. Right?

"It's about, the popular vote has to matter, right? You know, all the things that make people feel, like, overwhelmed, and does their vote matter? We have, you know, listen, if the folks there want it, we should be pushing for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C., right? These are some of the things that are structural that we need to do, but we need to reestablish affordable child care," Harris added.

Harris lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote to President Donald Trump in 2024. She told Palmer she still remains undecided about a 2028 presidential run.

Governess Houchul has spared 16,000 criminals from deportation by refusing to deliver them to ICE.

New York blew off 16,000 Trump administration ICE orders to detain suspected heinous illegal migrants accused or convicted in more than 50,000 criminal charges, disturbing new data show.

The Department of Homeland Security said the municipalities across the Dem-driven state have refused to comply with its detainment requests 16,070 times since President Trump re-entered office fewer than two years ago -- refusing to hand over criminal migrants suspected or convicted of everything from murder to kidnapping and sexual assault.

"While sanctuary politicians continue to release dangerous criminals onto their streets, our brave law enforcement officers will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals and make America safe again. Illegal aliens have no sanctuary in America," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told The Post.

"We enforce these laws with no help from Mayor [Zohran] Mamdani and Governor [Kathy] Hochul.

Governess Hochul put on an embarrassing performance in her debate with Republican Bruce Blakeman. Or so I'm told; I didn't watch it.

All she could do was keep repeating "Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump" because her record is terrible.

One poll says the race is neck-and-neck. I doubt it, but if you're a New York voters, you know what you could do that would result in the Funniest Thing Ever...?

Gov. Kathy Hochul and Bruce Blakeman are nearly neck-and-neck as they head into the gubernatorial election's only debate Tuesday, a stunning new poll found.

Democrat Hochul leads the Republican Nassau executive 47% to 44%, a Pollfinity survey released Tuesday found.

The poll found about 6% of voters were undecided, while another 3% planned to cast their ballots for others.

When undecided voters were asked which way they were leaning the race spread slightly, but just barely -- with the candidates falling within 4 points of each other at 48% to 44%.

The poll called on 499 New Yorkers between Oct. 8 and 12, and bucked trends other pollsters had found in recent weeks which placed Hochul at a roughly 10-point lead over Blakeman.

Hochul led Blakeman by 12 points -- 52% to 40%, with 8% undecided -- in an Oct. 8 poll from Emerson College and PIX 11 that called on 900 voters.

Nancy Mace Was Right? Police Arrest Her Ex-Fiance and Three Other Men for Sexually Abusing an Unconscious Woman

—Disinformation Expert Ace

She originally Soft Opened these charges with surveillance camera video from a gym. I thought she was complaining that the surveillance camera photographed her wearing her gym clothes.

I don't know why she didn't lead with the real story, the sexual assault on an unconscious woman.

South Carolina authorities have charged three of the four men Rep. Nancy Mace accused in a 2025 House floor speech of sexually abusing women and girls with offenses related to the alleged sexual assault of a 23-year-old incapacitated woman in 2018.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division announced the charges Wednesday against John Douglas Osborne, 46, Brendan Patrick Bryant, 53, and Eric Bernard Bowman, 46. All three men were booked into the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center in Charleston County.

Bryant is the former fiancé of Mace, who has said that she ended of her engagement to Bryant in November 2023 after discovering videos of women being sexually abused on his cellphone.

The alleged incident occurred Oct. 26, 2018, on Sullivan's Island, a 3 1/2-mile-long barrier island home to some 2,000 people near Charleston Harbor.

According to the affidavits supporting the charges, the victim, a 23-year-old woman, was drunk when she fell into the swimming pool of a residence. She then removed her wet clothes but for her bra and passed out on a sofa.

While she was unconscious, the three men are accused of discussing sexual exploits before agreeing that Osborne would have sex with the woman as the others watched.

The documents allege that as Osborne kissed, digitally penetrated and performed oral sex on the incapacitated woman, Bryant and Bowman watched. They are also accused of taking photos and video of the incident.

An unidentified witness allegedly overheard the alleged conversation between the men and watched Bowman and Bryant via a home security video feed apparently record the assault. The documents state the witness also obtained and saved two still photographic images from the security video feed and created an email or journal entry detailing the incident from her perspective.

...

The announcement comes nearly two years after Mace, a Republican firebrand, took to the House floor on Feb. 10, 2025, to accuse the three men and another of raping and filming women they had incapacitated. She also alleged that they took nonconsensual photos and videos of the victims.

She said she had found thousands of videos and photos of the alleged crimes and had identified almost a dozen dozen victims, including herself.

Well color me surprised.

I guess her speech did mention the assault. But she spoke about it in such a fuzzy way I didn't know what she was specifically alleging.

"I accidentally uncovered some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable -- we are talking about rape, nonconsensual photos, nonconsensual videos of women and underage girls, and the premeditated, calculated exploitation," Mace revealed in her shocking speech.

I will just note that feminists basically use these words now to attack people just for criticizing them online. Without specifying the specific actions allegedly committed, no one can tell what a feminist means when she says "rape" any longer. (And Mace is, of course, a strident feminist. She sued the Citadel and forced her way into the formerly all-boys military academy.)

Iran Sentences Woman to Death For Insulting Their "Prophet;" Activists Attack Pete Hegseth For Making War on This Enlightened Regime

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The mullahs will hang a woman for insulting the leaders of Iran, which they then trumped up to insulting the "prophet."

An Iranian woman has been sentenced to death for blasphemy over a social media post that insulted the prophet.

Accounting student Najmeh Amini, 23, was sentenced to death last month after being held in the notorious Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad for eight months.

It was previously reported that Amini was being held on charges that included 'insulting the Supreme Leader' and 'clashing with security agents.'

However, Iranian human rights activists have now revealed that the student was sentenced to death on charges of 'sab ol-nabi' (insulting the prophet).

She was also sentenced to 12 years, six months, and one day on charges of acting against national security and spreading anti-regime propaganda.

So the whole claim of blasphemy is a lie, they just want to murder her because she spoke out against them.

Amini was arrested on January 31 after she -- alongside hundreds of thousands of Iranians -- took to the streets to protest against its authoritarian government.

In response, security forces unleashed a deadly crackdown, in which more than 7,000 people were killed, while thousands more were arrested, according to human rights groups.

Following her sentencing last month, a leaked voice recording from inside prison emerged, in which Amini desperately pleaded for help.

'Greetings to the people of Iran. I am Najmeh Amini, 23 years old, speaking from the central prison of Mashhad. I am leaving this message for you on 18 September 2026,' she is heard saying.

...

'I request that international human rights organisations and responsible bodies at the United Nations hear my voice and investigate and follow up on the status of my case.

The UN. Sorry, lady, the UN will not help you. They will cheerlead your murder.

...

'The Iranian authorities are unleashing a horrifying wave of executions and death sentences to punish and suppress dissent and project an image of strength and absolute control,' said Heba Morayef, Amnesty International's regional director.

'The muted response from the international community emboldens the Iranian authorities to continue their deadly rampage.'

Amnesty said at least 26 people were arbitrarily executed after being convicted of offences related to the January protests, following what it said were 'torture-tainted, grossly unfair trials' by revolutionary courts.

Iran, like Communist China and the Soviet Union before that, represents the leftist dream of murdering their opponents and taking full control over all aspects of society, and therefore must be defended and praised by all good communist cultists.

Multiple Iran War protesters have crashed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's Wednesday roundtable on Autonomous Warfare at the Association of the United States Army conference.

In a coordinated effort, six different protesters took turns interrupting Hegseth's panel at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The roundtable is currently ongoing, and there may be more protesters as the event continues to unfold.
The video player is currently playing an ad.

"Pete Hegseth, you're a fucking war criminal, you're a Nazi," a male protester yelled while in the middle aisle of the event, in full view of Hegseth. "You should be ashamed, he screamed."

...

The confrontation was not Hegseth's first encounter with anti-war demonstrators. On April 30, a protester affiliated with the anti-war organization CODEPINK interrupted Hegseth's testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, accusing him of war crimes and condemning American military operations in Iran before being arrested by Capitol Police, according to CODEPINK.

"You're a war criminal," one protester screamed repeatedly while being dragged out by security.

YES: Trump's DHS Is Preparing a Case for Deporting the Foreign Agent of Influence Ilhan "Omar"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

I'm so happy.

The Trump administration is building a case that could lead to the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, with federal agents seizing the Minnesota Democrat's cellphone, notebooks, personal computers and her passport on Monday, according to a new report and people familiar with the investigation.

Omar has long maintained that she became a US citizen at the age of 17 when her father was naturalized in 2000, but sources with direct knowledge of the federal raid on her DC bungalow said the Department of Justice is looking for evidence that claim is a lie.

If the Somali-born Omar's citizenship was procured by the concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation -- either by herself or by her father, Nur Omar Mohamed -- on immigration paperwork, then the feds will seek to denaturalize and deport her, one of the sources confirmed.

Is that even her "father"? There is evidence that her real father is a Somali war criminal who genocided enemy tribes and who was trained as a revolutionary by the communist party. She has called this man -- Nur Omar Said -- "father." When asked why she refers to him as "father," she claimed that Somalis routinely call men who are not their fathers "father" to show respect.

That's a lot of bullshit.

The 44-year-old congresswoman was at home with her husband Tim Mynett when agents executed a search warrant and removed the items, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Criminal charges could only be brought if the alleged immigration fraud occurred within the past 10 years, while if it concerned false statements there would be a five-year statute of limitations, according to federal defense attorney Todd Spodek.

Securing a criminal conviction for "knowingly procuring naturalization unlawfully requires revocation of citizenship," Spodek said, though a member of US Congress has never been denaturalized before.

There's no similar statute of limitations if civil denaturalization is pursued....

The Post confirmed Wednesday that prosecutors in Minnesota are leading the immigration fraud probe into the "Squad" member, while the office of DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro is pursuing an inquiry into Omar and Mynett's finances.

...

The Post reported Tuesday that in the spring of 2019, following Omar's initial election to the House of Representatives, her staff pressed the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, and Wikipedia to record her birth as happening in 1982 rather than 1981.

Months earlier, in the fall of 2018, Omar's campaign had told the Associated Press that she didn't have a birth certificate due to her family's displacement by the long-running Somalia civil war.

...

More than a dozen grand jury subpoenas have also been issued to family members of the Minnesota congresswoman, including her sister, Sahra Noor.

That sister just so happens to have run a "charity" with the same address as the address as three of the keu "Feeding Our Future" Somali fraudsters.

One of the largest fraud scandals in Minnesota may involve the family of Ilhan Omar.

The far-left congresswoman's sister used the address of a woman who was business partners with several major convicts in the "Feeding Our Future" scandal, a Daily Wire investigation found.

The federal meals scandal is described as the largest public theft in Minnesota history. The statehouse's House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee is probing the Somali-born congresswoman's involvement in the scandal, but Democrats in May blocked a subpoena that would require Omar to produce records.

Public records in the state, however, may tie Omar's sister, Sahra Noor, to the operation. Noor has run several businesses in the region, including the People's Center Clinics & Services in the Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis, which controversially received a $2 million earmark while her sister was a state representative.

Noor went on to found a group called Grit Partners Consulting, and publicly says her company "has secured more than $20 million in funding for health initiatives" and has "consulted on projects backed by" federal health agencies such as USAID and the Center for Disease Control.

Grit Partners was incorporated at a home on Hyacinth Ave. in Lakeville, Minnesota. That address, and the woman who lives there, are lynchpins tying together at least three Feeding Our Future convicts, The Daily Wire found.

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh

🚨 ILHAN OMAR UPDATE: SHE IS IN MAJOR HOT WATER

- DOJ is building a case to strip her citizenship and ultimately DEPORT HER
- Her passport and phone were seized
- A federal grand jury sent out about a dozen subpoenas
- Possible additional charges being looked at: conspiracy and false statements
- Federal agents with HSI searched Omar's D.C.-area home under a search warrant
- The focus is reportedly her birthdate and the family's immigration records
- Her father brought the family to the U.S. from a refugee camp in 1995
- In 2019, her staff reportedly asked to change her listed birth year from 1981 to 1982, meaning citizenship might be invalid
- US Attorney Jeanine Pirro has a SEPARATE probe into Omar's financial disclosures

This is the scandal she was hoping would NEVER COME. It's finally here!

THE END RESULT MUST BE DEPORTATION, MINIMUM

Jake Tapper, who cheerleaded Jack Smith's rush to indict Trump before the 2024 presidential election, is absolutely horrified that Ilhan "Omar" would be investigated now before an election.

Anthony Fauci Blamed Trump for the Spread of the Completely-True Lab Leak Theory Fact

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Trump rarely gets credit from the establishment, but here, his evil malignant dwarf nemesis gives him full credit for getting the truth out.

Anthony Fauci blamed President Donald Trump for the public's concern that the COVID-19 pandemic had emanated from a laboratory in Wuhan to which Fauci's institute had shipped funding and high-risk coronavirus experiments, newly released documents show.

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday released new pages of the daily diary that Fauci had stored on government servers with entries stretching from December 2021 to May 2022. The entries give the starkest view yet into Fauci's thinking as his preferred narrative around the pandemic's origins -- that it originated from a wet market in Wuhan -- began to crumble.

By the end of 2021, scientists and journalists pursuing the so-called "lab leak theory" had evaded earlier censorship efforts, defied bullying in the scientific community and broken containment.

Fauci often wrote in his diary about his intention to set the story straight in his forthcoming memoir. Rather than reflecting on his decisions to champion gain-of-function research that makes viruses more deadly in the lab, Fauci sought to portray the hypothesis that COVID had resulted from a lab accident as a Trump-backed conspiracy against him.

"****Very important issue to discuss in the book. The entire controversy with China as the source of the outbreak and the lab leak theory stems from the tension between Trump and China," Fauci wrote in a March 21, 2022.

Fauci faulted Trump for ordering the termination of a grant from Fauci's institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to EcoHealth Alliance, an infectious diseases nonprofit that discovered novel coronaviruses and enhanced them in lab experiments with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

It was later proved that EcoHealth did in fact illegally use Fauci's money to fund gain-of-function research. EcoHealth is now blackballed from receiving federal funding.

"Please remember that when it was brought to the attention of Trump that the NIH was funding a grant at Wuhan where the outbreak was first recognized, Trump ordered, with no evidence to support any suspicion, that we cancel the grant," Fauci wrote.

This filthy despicable cocksucker.

Despite Fauci's contention that the termination had been unjustified, four years later EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak saw debarment by the Biden administration's Department of Health and Human Services. HHS said it sought to "protect the public interest" by ending the group's funding after evidence mounted of reckless biosafety practices and shifting statements to federal regulators about a delayed grant report covering the period immediately before the pandemic's outbreak.

Fauci said that conditions had been placed on EcoHealth that "they essentially were not able to meet."

Trump Fines Bank of America $1.2 Billion Over Money Laundering for China

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Bank of America is one of the worst offenders for closing bank accounts for conservative and religious groups, claiming that working for such groups causes them too much "reputational risk."

They debanked people to curry favor with the Biden gangsters.

But working with China to launder money and evade sanctions? No reputation risk worth talking about.

The Treasury Department said Tuesday it is fining Bank of America $1.2 billion for allegedly violating anti-money laundering and sanctions laws.

The department accused the bank of failing to report and mitigate notable national security risks, including Chinese Money Laundering Networks and suspected "illicit finance along the southwest border."

It also failed to report more than $5 billion in suspicious activity to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

...

The department said Bank of America also reached an $11.6 million settlement with its Office of Foreign Assets Control over "apparent violations of numerous sanctions programs, including on Iran, Russia, narcotics, and global terrorism."

The $1.2 billion penalty includes $750 million that will go to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is the largest fine ever imposed by that agency.

Update: Via Biden's dog sniffs a lot of marlarkey, a previous bank whistleblower who said that a fine that barely impacts BoA's profits is not enough.

People --even the rich white collar corporate types that pay money to both parties for protection-- need to go to prison.

Dear Secretary Bessent
@SecScottBessent,

My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov.

The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank's profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison.

I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return.

I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something.

Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act.

Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with "America" in its name. And once again, not one individual charged.

Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working.

A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats.

This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried.

There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go.

Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: "Justice is the defense of our liberty." I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel's money should be standing next to him.

I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them.

This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one.

Three things would change the math overnight.

Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury's history combined.

End "too big to jail." An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.

And if Bank of America will not act as America's bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them.

Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine.

I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it.

Respectfully,

Everett A. Stern

Related: Chinese intel operative Neville Roy Singham and his communist wife are launching a pro-CCP propaganda tour.

I haven't heard about this pair being debanked.

A California-based nonprofit with ties to the CCP and Neville Roy Singham embarked on a Chinese propaganda tour this week, telling attendees they could learn about the "revolutionary history" of the communist country while "marveling" at the socialist development in the country.

On Sunday, CodePink, a 501(c)(3) registered in Marina del Rey, California, posted a video of co-founder Medea Benjamin in an airport discussing her trip to China. The video, which was posted in between separate posts bashing Columbus Day and propping up feminism, detailed how Benjamin will show how the communist country is different from "the one we keep hearing about in Washington."

The following day, CodePink posted another clip of Benjamin outside a university in China lauding the safety of the country, saying enthusiastically that it is "amazing" an umbrella or bike can be left unattended in the region "without worrying about someone stealing it."

...

"Explore China's revolutionary history, while marveling at high-tech infrastructure and modern socialist development," the event description reads. "Highlights include Red Memorials, Historical Re-Enactments and Museums, Socialist Infrastructure, and Rural Revitalization."

...

Since 2017, Singham has funneled $278 million into a broad network of nonprofits, including CodePink, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. These groups regularly organize and participate in anti-ICE, anti-Israel and pro-Iran demonstrations.
