Perfect: Nikole Hannah-Jones Didn't Just Send Her Daughter to a Failing School, She Sent Her Daughter to a School That Teachers Her Fraudulent "1619" Agenda
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I didn't highlight an important part of Nikole Hannah-Jones' virtue-sacrificing of her daughter to boost her career as a professional race hustler. I rage-quit the article just a thousand words in.
John Sexton read further -- and found that the school routinely allowed fights, did not discipline students, and didn't even grade students.
Toward the end of first grade, Najya started sometimes saying she didn't like her school and complaining how chaotic it was at lunch. I decided to visit during the lunch period and was shocked by what I saw. Najya's class and another class were sitting at their tables in the cafeteria with no lunch and no adult supervision. Children were running wild, chasing, hitting and pushing each other while the teacher's aides and cafeteria workers stood by looking bored.Several times, I had to instruct children to stop striking each other and to sit down, at one point physically pulling two boys apart. When I asked one of the aides why the children weren't being supervised, she told me the lunch period was short-staffed. After I sat back down with Najya, she told me, "It's always like this, and that's why I don't want to go to this school."
...
Finally, a few days before school let out for winter break, I received a folder in Najya's backpack with the math assignments I had been requesting since our conference. Once I tucked her into bed, I sat at my dining room table and scanned one page, then another and another. None of them were graded. I started checking Najya's work and discovered most of her answers were wrong. Najya believed herself to be good at math -- it was her favorite subject. But now I understood she thought she was correctly solving all her problems because her teacher was not checking her work. Similarly, Najya's writing assignments were rife with uncorrected punctuation, capitalization and grammar errors.
This isn't a question of money, this is a result of poisonous leftwing policy imperatives about "equity," insisting that grades are anti-equity as they separate good learners from poor ones, and that punishing any student is likewise anti-equity because good-behaving students aren't punished at all.
By abandoning all standards, a single standard is selected by default: the standard of the sewer, the standard of the pit.
Peachy Keenan @KeenanPeachyWhy am I just learning now that public schools in the New York city ghetto don't assign homework, don't grade tests, don't respond to parents emails or phone calls, don't supervise feral, fighting kids at lunch, don't know or care if their students can read or do grade level math, and give them As on their report cards when they are actually doing F level work?
Why did Nikole Hannah Jones bury this explosive lede?
Why isn't she writing emergency front page @nytimes stories about this shocking, incredible, abject citywide failure that costs people who pay taxes over $50K per student per year?
Why isn't she holding emergency all-hands on deck meetings with @NYCMayor
to shut this down, rescue these kids, fire everyone involved?We all know why. But no one at the Times will say a word. LOL
Giving high school diplomas and 4.0 GPAs out to illiterate 18 year olds as reparations
it's really just as simple as that
"Equity" is the only thing that matters. It's pure Harrison Bergeron.
Remember, the only thing we need to do to improve failing schools is pay teachers more and give every student his own laptop.
It has nothing at all to do with ending all disciplining, suspension, and expulsion of chronically disruptive and even violent black students.
The Federalist notes that the deranged narcissist Nikole Hannah-Jones just happened to Virtue-Sacrifice her daughter at a shithole school that didn't teach students anything, but did waste time teaching her debunked, fraudulent "1619" thesis.
The failing school that race-grifter Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her child to used Hannah-Jones' ahistorical 1619 Project as part of its curriculum, public records show....
In 2022, Najya would have been in seventh grade and therefore a student at Unison for two years of the 1619 fabrications.
...
The basic premise of the 1619 Project is that the true founding of America happened in 1619 when the first slave ships with Africans arrived. Everything that happened after that, including the American Revolution, was really for the express purpose of continuing the institution of slavery, as opposed to any grander purpose like freedom, liberty, and self-determination. It is an "antiracist" project that has suffered withering rebuttals from historians across the political spectrum for its numerous errors, but the race-essentialist lens that undergirds it goes far beyond the false telling of history.
The "antiracist" movement as a whole means curricula across subjects, school policies on discipline, and grading are all rearranged to coddle particular groups of students based on skin color, while ignoring everyone else. Unsurprisingly then, "antiracism" is the essential premise of Hannah-Jones' essay, even though she tries not to admit it, and the "antiracist" elements described above were deeply embedded in the school she selected.
...
The racial programming appeared to work, as Najya herself, when looking for a more rigorous high school, said, "I'd never been in a school with white kids and don't think I really wanted that," but between it all, the true consequences of 1619-informed "antiracism" came out as well.
"Unison had eliminated homework because studies show that it does not have much impact on academic achievement, and that assigning it often sets up for failure students who are so academically behind that they cannot do the work on their own."
Some kids can't do homework therefore "equity" demands that no students do homework, including the more advanced students who could actually gain from it.
" Under the Unison system, students completed their assignments during class time where a teacher could guide and help if they got stuck. But for students like Najya, this practice proved absolutely harmful," Hannah-Jones admitted. "She'd bemoan how the less experienced teachers struggled to manage their classrooms and would expend so much attention on the small number of kids acting out that they'd be unable to complete their lessons or help a student stuck on a problem. There were occasionally fights in the hallway."Instead of disciplining any children who acted out in class, teachers had to "refocus students and mitigate conflict" in real-time, meaning they had very little opportunity for actual class instruction. In the same sentence, Hannah-Jones claims that "this is good educational practice," and then adds, "but kids like Najya, who were just trying to do their work, saw this treatment as deeply unfair."
In reality such policies are unfair because not disciplining students deprives both misbehaving students and their more studious peers of educational consistency throughout the day. Like not assigning homework, or "equity grading," there is no accountability or rigor during or outside the school day, and students in such schools often end up advancing years in school while remaining academically stunted.
When her ill-prepared daughter finally went to a more academically focused school -- which was attended mostly by (spit) whites and (spit) Asians -- she found that her shithole school fake education left her woefully unprepared.
Her A's and B's at Unison amounted to failing grades in high school. She struggled to keep up with homework assignments and nightly reading, and because she "had never been taught the skills of independent study, ... suddenly the child whose identity had been the nerdy honors student was working harder than she ever had and barely keeping up."An algebra tutoring center told Hannah-Jones that "Najya knew very little algebra and had huge gaps in many of the building blocks of math that she should have learned in elementary school, like mastery of long division and fractions."
Remember, the only problems here are "racism" and white people not paying enough in taxes to "resource" these schools properly. The problem is definitely not the destructive left-wing cult of "equity" that left-wing blacks have forced on their own children.
Don't worry, guys -- Randi Weingarten says she's going to figure out Who's Responsible For This.

Supreme Court Now Okays Trump's Plan to Allow States to Use Federal Databases to Screen the Voter Lists for Ineligible Voters
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The Supreme Court had previously joined in the left-wing plan to delay implementation of Trump's Executive Order until it was late enough in the season that they could claim it would cause "chaos" to implement it so late.
Now it blesses not a screening of mail-in ballots -- that would still cause "chaos," I guess -- but the simple use by states (at their discretion; left-wing governments won't screen ballots) of the Social Security databases to discover if a voter is a citizen or not.
So this is a weaker version of Trump's plan, which left-wing states won't even implement.
The Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for the Trump administration to move forward with its plan to use a modified centralized database to verify voters' citizenship. In a seven-page opinion issued just 39 days before the Nov. 3, 2026, election, the justices paused a ruling by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that had blocked the government from doing so on the ground that it violated (among other things) federal privacy laws.The unsigned opinion for the majority indicated that the lower court's order "inhibits the Federal Government's efforts to assist state and local agencies in the proper administration of the midterm elections."
In a dissenting opinion joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called Friday's decision a "questionable interim ruling[] about two statutory provisions" that the Supreme Court "has never before interpreted." She also contended that the majority "focuses only on the harms the Government will purportedly suffer absent a stay, disregarding the harms that the" use of the modified database "has caused, and will likely continue to cause, to lawful voters."
If you're surprised to see the left-wing minority dissent quoted more than the actual ruling of the court, you must be new here.
The dispute dates back to late March, when President Donald Trump issued an executive order that (among other things) directed the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to set up systems that would permit state and local governments to verify voters' citizenship and immigration status. Those agencies then modified the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, known as the SAVE system, to include the records of U.S.-born citizens, to give it access to Social Security numbers, and to allow users to conduct multiple searches simultaneously.
...
Sooknanan wrote that "the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote." Moreover, she continued, "states have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information."
Boy lower court rulings sure are being highlighted here.
I wonder what the actual Supreme Court just ruled? You know, the actual newsorthy information?
...U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer went to the Supreme Court on Sept. 8, asking the justices to freeze Sooknanan's ruling while the litigation continues. Sooknanan's decision, he wrote, was an "indefensible order that threatens the integrity of upcoming elections by vacating the federal government's authority to internally use Social Security data when fulfilling its duty to respond to requests by States to verify the citizenship of individuals for voting and other purposes." Moreover, he argued, Sooknanan did not have the power to enter her order because the challengers do not have a legal right to sue, known as standing. Among other things, he contended, the federal government is not the source of any injury that the challengers and their members might suffer, because the SAVE system "merely notifies the States whether the federal government can confirm citizenship."
I'm omitting the next three paragraphs, which extensively quote the plaintiff's arguments. Not a lot about the arguments that actually prevailed.
The majority rejected the challengers' contention that the use of the modified SAVE system violates the Social Security Act, the Privacy Act, and the federal law governing administrative agencies. It explained that in a federal immigration law enacted in 1996, "Congress ... separately and expressly authorized DHS to request and receive information relating to citizenship and immigration status from other agencies, including SSA."The Supreme Court has also "often granted" review (another factor in determining whether to award emergency relief), the majority wrote, "where a lower court has set aside an important federal program" -- which, it appeared to suggest, the modified SAVE system is.
Moreover, the majority added, the federal government will suffer permanent harm (yet another factor that courts consider) if the district court's order remains in place. Under federal immigration law, the majority reasoned, "the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters. The order below prevents the Federal Government from using the program it believes is best suited to the task."

California Runs a "Shadow" Welfare System for Illegal Aliens
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Remember, illegal aliens aren't eligible for welfare, so you Racists should stop peddling RUSSIAN MISINFORMATION and claiming they are.
But also, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats openly brag of giving welfare to illegal aliens, "legal or not."
California runs the nation's largest welfare system, devoting more than $180 billion annually to food, health care, and other programs for the poor and downtrodden. To sustain the arrangement, the state imposes the nation's highest tax rates.In theory, these programs are supposed to help struggling Californians. In reality, many serve large numbers of illegal immigrants. Today, California oversees a shadow welfare system that allows noncitizens to receive health care, rental assistance, college grants, tax credits, low-cost car insurance, and even smartphones on the taxpayers' dime.
We visited four public-services offices in Southern California, each of which
admitted that illegal aliens can enroll in public-welfare programs or receive benefits on their children's behalf. In total, California taxpayers spent at least $11 billion subsidizing illegal immigrants in the last fiscal year. The state's shadow welfare system, it seems, shows no signs of slowing down. Local officials were remarkably transparent. In Glendale, we spoke to a welfare officer about California's Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), a state-funded alternative to Supplemental Security Income that provides monthly cash assistance to low-income noncitizens who are elderly or disabled.
"If [you are] a citizen, you cannot get CAPI," he said. "I don't care about legal or not. Not being [a] citizen [is the key]."
In Los Angeles, we heard more of the same. We asked another welfare officer about the benefits available to illegal immigrants and their children. While some state programs are closed to illegals, we learned, they are open to those aliens' U.S.-born children.
"If you were born here and the child was born here, you get money for two," the officer said of CalWORKs, the state's version of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. "Because she is not and the child is, she only gets money for the child, and not for her."
These benefits add up. In California, illegal immigrants can qualify for CAPI, public health insurance, and various tax credits. Their children qualify for others, including CalWORKs and, as in other states, Section 8 rental subsidies. All told, a family of five in California with two illegal-alien parents, two U.S.-born children, and one illegal-alien grandparent can receive public services worth more than $100,000 per year.
State leaders are proud of it. In a recent podcast episode, Governor Gavin Newsom bragged about his "controversial" decision to extend Medi-Cal coverage to illegal immigrants. His wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, encouraged people to sign up for the California Earned Income Tax Credit, a program whose promotional materials assure applicants that "no Social Security number" is "no problem."
The governor's office did not respond to our comment request by deadline.
Here's some better news: Trump is drastically reducing the number of (mostly fake) "refugees" in 2027.
And the left is going to hate this crop of refugees, because they're actually refugees.
The Trump administration plans to cap next year's refugee inflow at 17,500 people, down from the 125,000 target set under President Joe Biden.The State Department laid out the plan in a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday, a week before the 2027 fiscal year opens in October. Admissions will "primarily be Afrikaners from South Africa," the notice says, naming the Afrikaans-speaking white minority descended from Dutch and French settlers.
Biden's agencies set the 125,000 target in his last year in office. Resettlement contractors put the long-run average at roughly 92,000 a year since the program started in 1980. Trump's first term bottomed out at 15,000.
The administration set last year's ceiling at 7,500, then lifted it to 17,500 after declaring that unforeseen developments in South Africa had created an emergency. Next year's number holds at that level.
Transgender Activists Say That Men Stealing Gold Medals from Women "Just Isn't a Thing That Really Happens."
A New Report Says that Men Have Stolen 2,300 Gold Medals from Women Over The Past 40 Years.
—Disinformation Expert Ace
These things that never happen sure do seem to happen an awful lot.
Transgender athletes have stripped women and girls of nearly 2,300 gold medals and more than $500,000 in prize money over the past four decades, according to an analysis from a conservative think tank.Athletes competing in sports events that don't match their birth sex have bumped biological women out of championship spots 2,293 times since the mid-1980s, according to the evangelical-leaning public policy nonprofit, Concerned Women for America.
...
The group also found that trans athletes, who were born "male," have "stolen" $501,498 in prize money from women and girls in professional sports.
For the report , the think tank analyzed data from a HeCheated.org, a volunteer-run online database that documents instances of trans women athletes participating in female sports events.
In total, it reportedly found they have competed in more than 14,301 female sporting events, including amateur and professional.
...
High school long jumper AB Hernandez also sparked outrage in May after the trans teen, who was born male, dominated multiple girls track and field events at a California regional event.
Male cheaters stealing medals and scholarships from actual female athletes was the subject of a Senate hearing, which Democrats, of course, denounced and then completely boycotted.
"Women were last to get the vote, to participate in professions, to serve on juries, [and] get credit cards in their own names," said Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. "Women should not be asked again to cede their opportunities just to make men comfortable," trading "their gold medals for [participation] trophies."It's no "coincidence" that male participation in women's sports is growing amid viewership records and rising pay, Grassley said, crediting his home state's basketball legend Caitlin Clark for the spike in WNBA player salaries in this year's collective bargaining agreement.
...
Republicans repeatedly harped on Democrats for taking their ball and going home rather than hear out the witnesses. The panel's top Democrat, Illinois's Dick Durbin, said the issue is a low priority for Americans and called the hearing a "vendetta" against a tiny minority before leaving.
Moody trashed House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries for calling the GOP's Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act the "Child Predator Empowerment Act," based on activist talking points and false reporting that sex verification requires genital inspection.
Ceding a podium to a male has become an "institutionalized, sanctioned humiliation ritual" for female athletes, said Independent Council on Women's Sports cofounder Kim Jones, once an All-American tennis player at Stanford. Her daughter competed against and shared a locker room with male swimmer Lia Thomas, who famously took a trophy from Riley Gaines.
A couple of clips from that hearing are below the fold.
By the way, the reporter for that article notes that the Senate is currently allowing a bill to protect women in sports to languish without being passed. He points out that Republican senators never mentioned that bill -- choosing, as usual, rhetoric and sound-bites over actual action.
Fair point.
A former therapist at a Welsh gender clinic reports that the "diagnostic criteria" to "screen" kids (and adults) for "transgendeismr" is designed to basically screen in everybody.
Serious and obvious mental illnesses are routinely ignored so that the pre-determined diagnosis of "gender dysphoria" can be officially entered.
For the first six months or so, despite thinking it was "a bit odd", Anna went along with it. Eventually she started raising questions. "My concerns were that somebody could meet the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria or transsexualism, but it wasn't about gender. Somebody I remember very, very clearly, was a young woman, who was identifying as a man. She had very large breasts, and she wanted cross-sex hormones. She wanted testosterone and she wanted her breasts to be removed. Okay. But her history was that she had been sexually abused for many years by her father, and the sexual abuse was around her breasts. It's so bloody obvious. I could stand next to somebody at a bus stop and say "What do you think of that?" And they'd say, "Of course you'd need to think about the sexual abuse." Of course you would. But at the gender clinic, she met the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria. So she went through."Anna also quickly became aware that "about 50%" of the clinic's referrals had a diagnosis of autism. "But I would guess a further 20%, maybe more, had undiagnosed autism or something very similar. They had very fixed beliefs, eg if I feel uncomfortable in my body, then I need to be somebody else. Things were expressed in a very concrete way: If I become a man, if I become a woman, if I get this such-and-such removed, that's going to solve my problems."
...
Anna thought her job was "exploration", but this was "hardly done at all. It was done a bit, but hardly at all. The overriding thing was, do they meet the diagnostic criteria? And I suppose I kept saying, till I was blue in the face, you can meet the diagnostic criteria, but it's not about gender. It's about other things."
Like autism, schizophrenia, previous sexual abuse -- all ignored, with therapists directed to just keep checking the literal check boxes for gender dysphoria.
...As for the women... "I would sit and almost want to weep because a young woman would come in and say "Oh, well, I'm not into dresses, I'm not feminine, I'm attracted to other women. So I'm wondering whether actually I am a man?" And I would think you're a lesbian. You're a gay woman. But again, they'd meet the diagnostic criteria. So...."
Yikes on bikes, obviously the correct diagnosis is "Lesbianism with complicating long covid."
This is the worst part, which I hadn't heard before, though I guess it's obvious.
Puberty blockers stop the maturation of the body -- and the brain.
She says that kids given puberty blockers remain child-minded even as they become young adults.
Another chilling example Anna gave was her experience of dealing with 18 year olds who had been put on puberty blockers whilst at the Tavistock children's gender clinic. "Because they'd been on puberty blockers, it felt like being in the room with a 13 or 14 year old. Cognitively and emotionally, it felt like somebody much younger to the point where, as a team, it felt like we were working in an adolescent service. But we were an adult service. I'd never worked with adolescents. It's a different field. So I suppose we were... I wouldn't say out of our depth, but it was uncomfortable."I pick Anna up on the point about cognition. Was she saying that these teenagers' mental development had slowed?
"Totally, yeah. Totally. And I can remember we had a training session with some of the endocrinologists from the Tavistock children's gender identity service. And I put that to them and they went, "No, no, no. There's no evidence for that." I said, "well, that's what I'm seeing", but they were just: "No, no, no. That's not a thing"."

Two-Tiered Justice: Leftwing DAs Give Illegal Aliens Immunity for Major Crimes So That They Won't Be Deported
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I wrote about this briefly in Quick Hits yesterday or the day before.
Just the News has a more detailed article.
Illegal aliens are first-tier citizens, somehow. Actual US citizens are second-tier, at best.
Ashe Short:
District attorneys across the country are accused of providing illegal immigrants preferential treatment when they commit crimes, allowing them to remain free in the country and put U.S. citizens' lives at risk. The related reports seem to indicate that when the arrested person is a U.S. citizen, they are denied much of the leniency shown to illegal immigrants accused of the same crime.The House Judiciary Committee and its Immigration Subcommittee released a report this week detailing how Arlington County, Virginia's Commonwealth's Attorney, Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, "obstructs the enforcement of federal immigration law and shields foreign national criminals from accountability." Dehghani-Tafti's campaign received $515,000 from George Soros-affiliated political entities, Fox News reported last October.
...
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data contained within the report showed that sanctuary jurisdictions -- cities that have vowed not to work with ICE -- have declined at least 41,085 detainers between Oct. 2022 and early 2026.
The Judiciary Committee's report included testimony from Dehghani-Tafti about her office's policy to shift outcomes for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) to ensure they don't lose their DACA status. "This policy ensures that certain foreign nationals are never convicted of DWI in Arlington County, [Virginia] solely due to their status as non-U.S. citizens," the Committee wrote.
...
Arlington County's refusal to work with ICE also extends to cases involving felons and terrorists, the Committee found.
See the article for Harmeet Dhillon's investigation into scumbag Soros prosecutor Steve Descano, who let out an illegal alien who promptly committed murder. Discriminating against US citizens is a constitutional conspiracy against civil rights.
Across the country in Boulder County, Colorado, District Attorney Michael Dougherty's published policy states that prosecutors in his jurisdiction must consider collateral effects when it comes to illegal immigrants committing certain crimes....
...
In 2017, illegal immigrant Ever Valles shot and killed 32-year-old landscaper Timothy Cruz. Valles had previously been protected from an ICE detainer when he was released from prison without officials informing ICE, per sanctuary city policy.
...
Philadelphia's DA Larry Krasner also uses the policy that "low-level and nonviolent crimes should not lead to deportation or necessarily risk one's immigration status." Jordan also subpoenaed his office in May.
"In fact, you created an Immigration Counsel position within your office to evaluate cases involving non-U.S. citizens so that foreign nationals 'can avoid unnecessary and unjust consequences' -- in other words, to shield criminal aliens from deportation," Jordan wrote. "You also openly boast about how your policies have resulted in criminal aliens being released onto Philadelphia streets, free to reoffend. Even in cases involving murder or crimes against minors, a prosecutor in your office may still consider a criminal alien's potential deportation or other immigration consequences in making prosecution decisions."

Cambridge University: We Have Cancelled Our Promised Investigation Into How Unqualified Fabulist Jason Arday Was Hired. Instead We Will Investigate How We Failed to "Support" Him and Other DEI Incompetents and Plagiarists.
—Disinformation Expert Ace
No notes.
Cambridge University has decided against investigating how and why the late professor Jason Arday was hired despite his lack of qualifications and will instead look into whether staff offered him sufficient support after he was accused of plagiarizing large sections of his published work and fabricating a series of personal achievements....
The day before Arday's death, Cambridge pledged to investigate "the circumstances around his appointment" in response to evidence that he plagiarized portions of his doctoral thesis and made highly dubious claims about his personal life. "That investigation must be thorough and transparent, and will be carried out independently by senior academics from within and beyond Cambridge," Vice-Chancellor Deborah Prentice wrote.
...
Former prosecutor Nazir Afzal, who is tasked with leading the new investigation, said recently that the probe is "not about the allegations made against Professor Arday or about his academic record" and will instead focus on "his welfare, his care, his well-being."

THE MORNING RANT: The Awful Precedent of the Clancy Trial’s Juror-Harassment
—Buck Throckmorton
A terrifying precedent was set in the Lindsay Clancy trial, as Boston media outlets engaged in a multi-prong hit job on the lone juror who refused to acquit Mrs. Clancy for the murder of her children.
Going forward, any juror who remains true to his conscience and doesn’t submit to the mob knows that the media may dox him. Every negative event in his life could be exposed, and the media has now shown that it will provide identifying information to activists who wish to harass or harm a “wrongthink” juror.
The media has normalized putting jurors themselves on trial if they don’t issue the “correct” verdict.
Can you imaging being a juror in a trial involving a drug cartel? With the Clancy precedent, any juror who convicts a cartel member can have his life and address exposed for convicting a “migrant dreamer” who got a little sideways with the law.
Boston Herald Opinion columnist Wendy Murphy started an editorial with these chilling words: “Now that the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case is getting the negative attention he deserves…”
”…the negative attention he deserves…” spoken about a juror by a mainstream media outlet is a terrifying thing to read. These are the words you’d expect from a foot soldier for the likes of Mao or Stalin.
Meanwhile, Ryan Kath of “NBC 10” in Boston decided to dig up and publicize criminal “allegations” against the juror, even though there was not an actual criminal record. Mr. Kath also reported on family gossip regarding the juror, and Kath even found it newsworthy that the targeted juror was late in making rent payments. This is juror intimidation, and the message is clear about the punishment that awaits future jurors who won’t betray their conscience to reach the media’s preferred verdict.
The NBC10 Boston Investigators are uncovering new details about the lone holdout juror from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Court documents and interviews with family members reveal a history of domestic violence allegations. We discovered a pending eviction case tied to months of not paying rent.
A story the @NBC10Boston Investigators have been piecing together all week:

Domestic violence allegations and eviction records raise questions about the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial https://t.co/Y6iN9EfoOa
Suffice it to say, NBC 10 Boston did not investigate any criminal allegations or financial delinquency of the jurors who voted “correctly.” Message received. The privacy and anonymity of the jury room has been invaded by the hostile media.

The Morning Report — 9/ 25 /26
—J.J. Sefton
Once again, England is demonstrating itself to be the dystopian Orwellian parody of what they warned us to defend ourselves against. It would be hilarious were it not for the fact that time and again much of what happens over in Blighty travels across the pond and spreads over here. Case in point.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the creation of a National Centre for Information Defence, aimed at countering alleged foreign disinformation and “information attacks.” The center will collaborate with intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and social media platforms to address what the government characterizes as threats, using Russia as the main pretext...Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage likened the move to a “Ministry of Truth,” while the Big Brother Watch organization raised concerns over potential targeting of lawful domestic speech under the guise of countering disinformation.
Of course only a few short years ago Biden Sponge-Brain Shits Pants attempted the same shit over here by establishing the Disinformation Governance Board and appointing the repulsive Democrat/Lectist operative/propagandist Nina Jankowicz as its disinformation Czarina.
Now, it’s the BBC’s turn. The British broadcasters’ blatant censorship of classic comedy feels straight out of the Summer of Love era.The BBC confirmed earlier this week that jokes featured in David Mitchell and Robert Webb’s show [“That Mitchell and Webb Look”] had been cut ahead of it being restored to iPlayer for its 20th anniversary.
As many as 11 sketches were removed, including a self-referential skit in which Mitchell and Webb joked about the appropriateness of Blackface while in Blackface. This wasn’t just”blackface” references like the ones Tina Fey personally erased in 2020. This involves several skits now deemed unacceptable to the far-Left BBC.
So comedy legend John Cleese railed against the decision. “If the BBC could prioritise making great programmes ahead of social engineering they might be worth the licence fee,” he wrote.

For many American Jews, Zohran Mamdani’s pledge to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he entered New York did not sound like another campaign promise. It sounded like a perilous threat.Had the statement been uttered in isolation, it might have been dismissed as political theater. It was not heard in isolation. It came after nearly two years in which the October 7 massacre was followed, not by a sustained moral reckoning with Hamas, but by an extraordinary wave of hostility directed toward Israel and, increasingly, toward Jewish communities themselves. University campuses became sites of intimidation. Synagogues and Jewish institutions strengthened security.
Early Wednesday morning, a man wielding what appears to be a knife chased an identifiably Jewish yeshiva student down a Crown Heights residential street after threatening him and throwing trash cans in his direction. Security footage posted by Crown Heights Shmira Patrol (CHSP) shows the student reaching the safety of his doorway before the assailant, who can be heard shouting, "Now I know where you live" and "Heil f***ing Hitler!," is able to physically assault him. He did, however, allegedly slash the tires of bicycles on the property, according to a COLlive report. NYPD officers eventually arrested the suspect after he had managed to escape from them by jumping over fences. In another incident on Wednesday, a rabbi was not fortunate enough to avoid physical assault, this time in Boro Park, which, like Crown Heights, has a large Hasidic population. The Boro Park Shomrim neighborhood watch group released video of a man beating the rabbi with his fists. The man was later arrested.
Lest you think I'm focusing in on this merely because of the Jewish aspect of it, the Democrat Socialites and the Democrats in general have got every single normal American in their crosshairs. You will bend to their will or be liquidated. Meh, they're hell bent on the liquidation as the means to their end — absolute power, forever.
Hear me now, believe me later.
We should have had a national conversation about Democrat violence back in 2017, when an Illinois Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate an entire baseball team of Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate. While the would-be assassin failed to murder anyone before being neutralized, he did manage to shoot four people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was one of two critically injured. The mass murder attempt could have easily been much worse. Twenty-four Republican congressmen were on the field that day, and had the Democrat assassin been successful, he would have substantially shifted the balance of power in Congress. It was an unprecedented attack on one of the three branches of the federal government.Instead of acknowledging the seriousness of Democrat violence, Establishment Republicans and Democrats joined hands and pretended that the assassination attempt was the fault of “both parties.” Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake lectured the country to “tone it down” because “discourse” had “gotten out of hand…on all sides” — which was his way of blaming newly-inaugurated President Trump for saying things that might provoke a Democrat to murder two dozen Republican congressmen. . . The FBI’s ludicrous efforts to cover up the partisan nature of the attack reflected Establishment Washington’s similarly ludicrous framing of the assassination attempt as a natural and justified response to President Trump’s political rhetoric. Unofficially, D.C.’s “ruling class” seemed to be saying that President Trump and his MAGA supporters deserved to be attacked.
And on this horrid note, we have this tragic news to report this morning.
Jim Copenhaver, 76, a spectator shot at the July 13, 2024 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, reportedly died on Wednesday. Copenhaver was critically wounded on July 13, 2024, during the assassination attempt of President Donald Trump at the rally... Copenhaver was sitting in bleacher C, two seats away from fellow shooting survivor David Dutch when the shooting started. Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old volunteer firefighter who was killed shielding his family, was seated in a separate section to the left of the podium. One of the bullets grazed President Trump’s upper right ear, “less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head,” according to former White House physician Ronny Jackson.
God bless his memory and RIP.
Have a great weekend.

A man who was gravely injured in the Butler Assassination attack has just died, two years after his wounding.
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Copenhaver, who was gravely wounded in the horrific shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania," House Republicans posted on X. "Jim endured unimaginable hardship with strength and perseverance."We join his family and loved ones in mourning his loss and praying for them during this difficult time," the post continued. "May he rest in peace."
Copenhaver, who was 76-years-old at the time of his death, was shot in the triceps. Another bullet was lodged in his body after it took chunks of his colon, leaving him with nerve damage, according to CBS News.
The so-called "Reality Based Community" continues to hint or flat-out assert that this assassination was fake.
The feds have arrested an illegal alien for voting in both the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. I assume he's innocent, because the communist media tells me this never happens.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a legal immigrant in New Jersey last week for allegedly voting in multiple federal elections, including the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, Breitbart News has learned.
Sanata Coulibaly, a legal immigrant from Senegal, was arrested on September 17 and charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien.According to prosecutors, Coulibaly first entered the United States in September 1993 and was given a green card by the Obama administration in November 2009. In 2018, 2020, and 2024, Coulibaly allegedly voted illegally in each of the elections.
"This alien from Senegal has been charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien after allegedly voting in three general elections in New Jersey," Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

I'm just gonna put it out there: Colin Kaepernick sat on the bench for the national anthem--not kneeling, sitting on the bench, away from his teammates--at the exact time his teammates hated him (a recently demoted backup QB) for dating his teammate's (Aldon Smith's) ex-girlfriend.
It was only after one reporter asked--after his third straight game sitting by himself on the bench during the anthem --why he was doing that, that he came up with the answer about taking a stand against America's "racism."
That transformed him overnight from a spiraling backup QB whose teammates hated him to a left-wing icon.
This is all true you can look it up.
MSNOW president says her propaganda outlet has a "broad range of views" because they pay former Republican Michael Steele to attack conservatives with every breath.
If you're an actual citizen, you're a second-class citizen:
Tim Anderson @AssocAndersonArlington's Commonwealth's Attorney testified that her office has a DUI policy specifically for DACA recipients. In a small number of cases, prosecutors have considered changing a DUI to a different first-degree misdemeanor so the defendant can renew DACA status. (We don't have first-degree misdemeanors - they are called Class 1 misdemeanors - surprised an elected prosecutor doesn't know that).
She says the defendant is still held accountable and the original DUI charge remains visible. But DACA status is a factor in the plea resolution, one that an American citizen charged with the same offense cannot invoke.
Should immigration status affect which crime appears on a defendant's record?

On Tumblr.
Pennsylvania Democrat state Sen. James Malone has written lesbian fan fiction set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) universe, according to documentation provided to Breitbart News. Malone was elected in a special election in 2025 after serving as Mayor of East Petersburg since 2017.Malone won by approximately 500 votes in the district despite President Donald Trump winning by 15 points in the 2024 general election.
...
Since at least October 2023, Malone has been writing and publishing on Tumblr a sexually charged lesbian romance story set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons. He has since deleted the account once Breitbart News began investigating.
In October 2023, Malone posted a "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk sleeping together.
Brylint work cuddled up in Zamkk's arms, content and warm. After their time at the Tavern, they had a bath and more, working out there tenuous partnership. *This will work out well, for now.*, Brylint thought to herself. With the light filtering in from the window, she could see her surroundings with clarity. The relatively large area of the room was taken up by the pillows she and her red haired companion were cuddled in....As she rose, Zamkk grabbed her arm. "It's early.", she said groggily. "I must use the chamber pot and perform my devotions.", Brylint said not unkindly. Zamkk nodded, gently rubbed Brylint's arm then settled back to snoozing. Brylint did her business and cleaned up. She performed her rituals of devotion and stretched a bit.
In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk experiencing "no small amount of arousal" from "a firm wack on the rear."...Brylint smirked briefly under her hood, "Perhaps, I will need more lessons."That gained her a firm wack on the rear which evoked a hiss and no small amount of arousal. "Do you understand.", Zamkk asked in Ghukliak. "I will listen and learn."
...
In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk "nibbling" each other's ears.
...
In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk engaged in "a rather exuberant session" of "intimate time."
...Shapiro harbors presidential ambitions in 2028 after being considered to run with Kamala Harris in 2024. He also received backing from Democrat National Committee Chairman Ken Martin and socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Malone also stated his disappointment with a "Drag Queen Story Hour" event's cancellation in 2024, stating, "It is sad that this event got negative presentation on it," he said. "This kind of come-if-you-want event can provide kids with a broader experience of life in general."
The event was set to take place at a public library in Lancaster County for an all-ages audience.

New York Times Reveals that Democrat Senate Candidate Mary Peltola Abuses Staff, Cursing Them and Calling them "F*ggots"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
LOL. She explodes at her staffers and calls them "faggots" and "retards" and calls Planned Parentood harpies "BITCHES."
Points for honesty, but that's forbidden by Mao's Little Red Book of Speechcrimes.
Breitbart, quoting from a New York Times profile:
Alaska Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola was the subject of a devastating New York Times profile on Wednesday, September 23 which described a pattern of angry outbursts, physical abuse, and slurs for years while serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.Peltola is now running against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in November in a contest polling shows continues to be close.
According to the explosive story, former aides describe "angry and profane outbursts." In one instance she is said to have shoved an aide according to a former staffer who was present and two others who were told about it at the time. Additionally, four former staff members said they directly heard her use the word "faggot" over the years, even about her own staff members, which her campaign has denied. She also used the word "retarded," according to former aides and text messages viewed by the newspaper.
The report talked to a total of nine former staffers who were granted anonymity.Her office amassed one of the highest turnover rates in Congress during her term, and she has missed hundreds of votes throughout her time in elected office.
The campaign issued a statement in response to the story, attributing her behavior to personal tragedy. Peltola's mother and husband died in 2023...
So she's admitting it, with the excuse Muh Hormones and Feelings.
The report states Peltola shoved a male staffer in her office over a missing meeting memo, "causing him to stumble backward, according to a person who was there and two others who heard about the incident soon after, as well as text messages sent at the time." The unnamed aide departed the office soon after.
In another instance, Peltola wrote, "FUCK THOSE BITCHES" about Planned Parenthood after her vote on a defense bill. "I hope Planned Parenthood knows that if we don't win it's more their loss than ours," she added.She also wrote in a text referring to a woman serving on the board of a local Planned Parenthood chapter, "I hope she dies of a botched abortion." The pro-abortion organization has not endorsed her 2026 campaign.
Peltola additionally texted, "Fuck that retard" after a selfie photo was posted by a commercial fisheries executive with the former representative. She has attempted to make local fishing interests a key part of her campaign despite not sponsoring a single bill related to fishing during her one term in Congress.
...
Senate Leadership Fund Executive Director Alex Latcham said in a statement on the story, "Mary Peltola's closest aides describe a routine history of physical violence, explosive anger, and utter disdain for Alaskans, which makes her entirely unfit for the U.S. Senate. Peltola's deeply offensive and disturbing comments do not represent the Alaska way and she must publicly apologize to her staff and the people of Alaska."
Susan Collins' opponent in the Maine Senate race, Troy Jackson, also has a history of abusing staffers. And banging his second cousin.
A new poll says she's up three.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) leads Democrat Troy Jackson by 3 points in her bid for a sixth term, according to a new poll.
The New York Times/Siena University survey found Collins leading Jackson, the former president of the Maine Senate, with 49 percent support to the Democrat's 46 percent.
The incumbent's edge was within the roughly 5 point margin of error, while another 5 percent of the 619 respondents were undecided, the results show.
Eric Swalwell's Hotel Prostitute Wingman Reuben Gallego has also been accused of abusing staffers. And banging them. He says the Peltola accusations are no big deal.
Nicholas Wu @nicholaswu12Asked Sen. Gallego about the NYT Peltola story on staff mistreatment, who tells reporters: "when I was 25, I had a really bad boss. He made me run across an open fucking field of raking machine gun fire to breach a door. So, yeah, life's tough sometimes"
In more news of Democrats unmasking, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed refused to condemn the IRGC, even when asked by a refugee who says his family was hunted and murdered by that terrorist-designated group.

Dozens of Muslim Delegates Walk Out as Netanyahu Addresses UN
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Dozens of United Nations delegates walked out of the hall Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to deliver a speech in.Addressing the UN's General Assembly in New York, Netanyahu described those walking out as "moral cowards". Those who remained and felt similarly should leave, he said.
...
The war was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 73,920 people have been killed, according to the territory's health ministry.
They say "according to the territory's health ministry" to avoid saying "according to the Hamas health ministry."
Netanyahu said that many of those walking out are liars -- behind the scenes, they applaud Israel's attack on Iranian nukes.
"You want to hear the ultimate irony? In defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall. In fact...many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran's nukes! It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy."
Netanyahu roasted the Communist Jihadi Theater Kid Zorhan Mamdani, who had previously promised to arrest him if he set foot in NYC:
Mamdani has FAILED to block Netayahu from NYC"Mr. Mamdani, you tried to STOP ME from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you CAN'T silence me! You can't silence the truth!" *Applause*
"Mr. Mamdani...it's no wonder, you praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas, you count as friends people like Hasan Piker who said America deserve 9/11!"
"And here's the simple truth -- Israel didn't commit genoc*de. Israel prevented genoc*de! That's what Mamdani's Hamas buddies would've done to us had we not stopped them. They would've k*lled every last one of us."
This comes after Mamdani CAVED on his arrest warrant push for Netanyahu.
Mamdani never had any authority WHATSOEVER to block any foreign leader from New York City, NOR to arrest them. That authority rests entirely with President Trump and Marco Rubio
Which Marco DID do by blocking the "Palestinian" delegation
LOL.
He roasted the UK and France for accusing Israel of "colonialism."
"They accuse Israel -- little Israel -- of colonialism. And who is doing the accusing?Among others, people in Britain and France.
For goodness sake, they are the ones who invented this concept -- their colonies stretched across the entire world.
Colonialism? Please, give us a break!"

Did Candace Owens Take $1.75 Million from Harvey Weinstein to Defend Him and Taint the Jury Pool So That He'd Be Acquitted?
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein groveled for "mercy" during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday -- where prosecutors revealed his alleged plot to pay a podcaster $1.75 million to "instill fear" in his victims.The decrepit 74-year-old ex-Miramax mogul had no visible reaction as Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber slapped him with 15 years behind bars, calling Weinstein a "sexual predator" who took advantage of his "insatiable appetite for sexual dominance."
...
Weinstein hired private investigators to track her [the victim he was imprisoned fro raping] after she came forward with her allegations, causing her to live with constant paranoia and "questioning every encounter I have," she added.
Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by "contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials."
Weinstein engaged in a "scheme to disrupt the trial and instill fear in his victims," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg alleged.
Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called "Harvey Speaks," which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup.
Efforts to reach Owens directly Wednesday were unsuccessful. A spokesperson for Owens, Mitchell Jackson, said Wednesday that she was never paid by Weinstein.
Well, that's enough for me. Cavernous Nostrils has never lied or grifted or race-hustled in her entire life.
A Weinstein spokesman denies he paid a podcaster to tamper with a jury -- but does not deny that he paid a podcaster to get his side of the story out to the public.
Weinstein spokesperson Juda Engelmayer denied the jury tampering allegations."That characterization is patently untrue. Harvey never offered or paid anyone $1.75 million to influence a jury, and there was no such agreement," Engelmayer said.
"Talking with friends about media coverage or expressing frustration is a very different thing from paying someone to contaminate a jury pool or intimidate witnesses. No money was paid, no such deal was made, and portraying these conversations as a criminal-style 'scheme' is inflammatory and misleading," he said.
Is Candace Owens a "friend," then?
Guys, she really wants to take down the "Epstein Class."
Once she gets done shilling for Harvey Weinstein.
She'll have explosive evidence about Epstein, you guys, in tomorrow's big show. Stay tuned, dum-dums!

Of Course: Liberal Judge Rushes in to Save CNN and MSNOW
—Disinformation Expert Ace
A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump early Thursday to restore White House access to CNN, MSNOW and Politico, temporarily blocking his bid to ban them from accessing the executive mansion.U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said the news outlets had met the "high bar" for a preliminary injunction and that White House must "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" their access.
The legacy media outlets, including Fox, protested Trump by refusing to carry the White House pool reporting and footage that all other media rely on. I actually can understand Fox joining the embargo, because -- and strangely the leftwing media has forgotten all about this for some reason -- Obama repeatedly threatened to ban Fox from the White House. Fox thinks, probably wrongly, that if they join with the liberal media in solidarity in boycotting Trump, then they will rush in and boycott a Democrat president when he bans Fox.
I wouldn't count on that. Very much 2003 thinking. These are communists and the only thing that matters to them is the revolution and then the sweet, sweet purges thereafter.
But I understand their thinking.
Real America's Voice and Just the News have been undermining this boycott by doing the pool coverage themselves.
President Donald Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds last week did more than pick a fight with three newsrooms. It exposed how easily the country's main picture of the presidency can go dark.
...After the White House blocked CNN from its assigned turn in the five-network television pool, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News declined in solidarity to fill the slot.
As a result, there was no shared network video of Trump boarding Air Force One.
Additionally, at a South Lawn ribbon-cutting for a new Marine One helipad, helicopter noise swallowed his remarks on the White House livestream.
...
But one conservative network, Real America's Voice, a partner of Just the News, is stepping into the void to create competition and a backup plan.
The White House listed RAV as secondary TV crew for the New York trip to the United Nations General Assembly gathering and on Wednesday, RAV said it would offer its pool camera as a free, unbranded feed to any outlet.
"When the traditional television pool chose to stand down, somebody still had to show up, turn the cameras on, and make sure the American public had access to the President," Parker Sigg, RAV's vice president, told Just the News. "RAV was ready to do exactly that. We have the crews, the infrastructure, and the ability to distribute this coverage far beyond our own network.
Hello. Looks like a slow news day.

The Morning Rant
—CBD
The latest lunacy in western Massachusetts sounded like a parody of the worst excesses of the self-absorbed LGTBBQ activist set that takes literally every human interaction and views it through their own, deeply disturbed lens.
But it was real, and it was spectacular! They couldn't help themselves! They dialed it to 11 and signaled to the rest of the country that the woke left is still around, still bat-shit crazy, and still dangerous.
It is actually important that these disturbed and strange people continue to voice their post-modern blather enough that it goes public. It's the quiet ones working behind the scenes who are dangerous, but their useful idiots like the patrons of this bar simply can't shut the f*ck up about their psychoses, and it keeps the danger in the spotlight.
Lesbian bar mask madness shows ‘woke 1.0’ never really died — and ‘woke 2.0’ is even worse
Remember when everyone wrote woke’s eulogy?“It’s a vibe shift,” they said.
“Woke 1.0 was craaaazy,” AOC said, laughing off teens getting destroyed for smirking.
For a brief minute it looked like the normies had wrested control of the culture back from the crazies.
I regret to inform you, we did not.
If you thought Woke 1.0 was crazy, Woke 2.0 is psychotic.
I think we ARE wresting control back from the crazies, but they aren't going to give up without a fight, because they are part and parcel of the left, and they never, ever give up.
Their quiet work in the schools was exposed during the Covid debacle, when parents across the country finally got a glimpse of what was really being taught to their kids. And the wannabe Mengeles in our medical establishment became a little too vocal about what they were doing to our children, and what they wanted to do, and they got caught!
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant," And continuing to expose these anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Western-culture fiends is vitally important. The worst thing that can happen is if they shut up and continue their work to dismantle our culture, destroy our families, and usher in the supposed nirvana of the progressives.
