Cutting taxes is always...ALWAYS...a good idea. The leviathan needs to be fed to live, and cutting taxes decreases what our feckless and cowardly legislators can spend.
Except...it doesn't. they are happy to spend money we don't have, simply by borrowing from the world. And $40 trillion later, that is one hell of a bill coming due.
Trump Says He Is Considering Suspending Federal Gas Tax
In an Oct. 5 post on Truth Social, he said, "What's driving up Gasoline is no longer the Strait of Hormuz, because Record Numbers of Barrels are coming out now on an almost daily basis, but the word, 'Refineries,' where Russia's are being blown up by Ukraine, and where ours are being closed up, in Blue States, like California."
The federal gas tax is 18.4¢/gallon, which yielded about $25 billion in 2025. That's not a small amount of money, but the economic benefit of cheaper gasoline might make up for some of that tax loss.
As for the refinery crisis in America? Yes, and we should have been building them for the last 40 years, but thanks to the watermelons in almost every state, and onerous and restrictive federal regulation, building a refinery is a huge undertaking. California has been closing refineries since the 1980s, and America has lost about 10 refineries just this decade!
Perhaps President Trump can nationalize the recently closed refineries in California in the interest of national security. And fast-track the expansion of existing refineries and the building of more in red states that are amenable to high-paying jobs.
To be fair, American refineries have become more efficient and have expanded production significantly, so the raw number looks worse than it is. But spreading production around the country is a good idea, simply to make sabotage of our refining capacity a more complex operation.
And of course the delightful bonus of stick a thumb in the eye of the rabid environmentalist left never gets old!

The Morning Report — 10/8 /26
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. Let me say that as repulsive and distasteful as I find the likes of Bernie Sanders, Titty Caca Ocasio-Cortez and of course the Mamdani/El sayeds, I know they're coming for my throat and my bank account. So I can deal with knife-wielding terrorists and tyrants heading straight at me. But some traitorous scumbag eager to plunge a shiv in my back is something else entirely. So, with that be it resolved that Tom Tillis and everyone like him in the GOP, the Grifting Oleaginous Parasite Party must be completely and utterly destroyed. Even if it means losing seats in Congress or perhaps even the Presidency, we must have an effective, engaged and dedicated political party that truly reflects and represents our will and recognizes the existential threat that comes from the Democrat Party and who and what it represents. And with that, as the set-up you can guess the rest, but here it is anyway as your emetic for the day:
Wednesday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said the Republican Party should ditch President Donald Trump’s populism and “go back” to its conservative core.
To a repugnant desiccated coprolite like Tillis, that means surrender to the Left and Islam, and let us lying, criminal traitorous scumbags wet our beaks in peace! If somehow the supposed Blue wave fails to materialize come the Midterms, well hopefully we won't be saddled with a fresh crop of Tillises, which means President Trump's agenda for his final two years is likely dead in the water, which would be exactly the same thing but without impeachments, or perhaps with impeachments depending upon the status of J.D. Vance, that is railroad him as well and install Mike Johnson or Hakeem Jeffries as POTUS?!
If all that isn't enough to gag a maggot, I give you the following items.
Jessica Valenti, a feminist writer and creator of the Substack “Abortion, Every Day,” called abortion “an affordability issue,” and contended that “you’d be hard pressed to find something more important to your financial life than whether or not to have a child, than whether or not that you’re gonna be forced into pregnancy, or not even just forced into pregnancy, but forced into massive medical debt because your pregnancy goes wrong and you can’t get an abortion.”
The Lindsay Clancy Social Contagion feels even more real after this latest report about a Texas mother accused of trying to murder her two small children. One child is just ten months old. The other is three years old.
Well it's Texas so I'm sure if James Talarico should defeat Ken Paxton, he'll get right on this. That is make this a common occurrence!
Ugh. Even with this, and in the wake of yesterday being the third anniversary of the Islamic Mass wave of butchery from Gaza which the aforementioned story is Islamic in its theme... For some reason I'm still optimistic about the future, as you can see from my posting the essay about Marco Rubio up top. Y aqui
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is currently traveling to Iceland, Greece, and Portugal, stood where the West was born and urged our allies to reject its decline. The imagery was stunning, but the message was more important — it's something that's been a theme throughout Rubio's time at the State Department over the last 20 months: We must maintain the values that make us great.
When was the last time any real American leader spoke this way and actually meant it?! Should he, by some miracle, become President at some point in the future he will be outstanding (his baggage from his early days, in particular the Gang of 8 amnesty foolishness), and of course the opposition from the Democrat/Left and worse the Tom Tillis saboteurs of the GOP should they still be a factor.
And so here's to better days, but for now I bid you all to have a good day.
- ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY
- We take the West’s conception of these things heroism, honor, duty – we take these things for granted. We assume that these somehow are universal to all people in all times and in all places. They are not.

Top Story- I wondered recently when Saleforce blamed their failure to increase profits on their AI spending habits what the hell they were doing with it, because while they didn't put a number on it the figures they did mention implied it is in the hundreds of millions of dollars a year, enough to build twenty production-grade compilers or one public toilet in San Francisco.
Well, it's not Salesforce, but I have found someone doing something useful with AI coding tools: ArtCraft. (Get ArtCraft)
ArtCraft itself is an AI-assisted art program. That's not the neat part, though.
The neat part is the smaller associated apps.
PhotoCraft is a photo editing program. VectorCraft is a vector graphics program. FilmCraft and EffectCraft are for video editing and effects. DesignCraft is for document layout.
If this sounds like the offerings of a certain major software company to you, you are not alone.
And it's all free as in beer and as in speech. Download the binaries, download the source code, and do whatever you want with them. All the programs run on Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, and on web browsers.
Early days yet; two programs are in alpha and the others haven't even got that far, but this is what we'll be seeing a lot more of in the future.

We must trust the Deep State with all of our might.
A former CIA officer admitted in a plea deal Tuesday that he disclosed details about a secret U.S. intelligence source to a foreign official and embezzled nearly $200 million from the federal government.David Rush pleaded guilty in Virginia federal court to one count of wire fraud after an FBI raid on his home in May uncovered 298 gold bars worth $46 million, $2.1 million in cash and dozens of luxury items.
Justice Department officials said Rush embezzled $194 million from the federal government, using his position at the intelligence agency to create an elaborate scheme designed to facilitate his "maximum self-enrichment at the expense of the United States."
...
Rush admitted in a plea document that he disclosed "certain descriptive information of a U.S. government clandestine human source" last year that could "endanger the safety and life of the human source and the U.S. government officers working with the source," according to NBC News.
He also admitted his actions jeopardized America's "ability to recruit human sources, who rely on the U.S. government's assurance of absolute secrecy."
Which country he sold us out to was not revealed. His plea deal calls for merely up to 20 years in prison.
Maryland jury finds that males falsely accused of sexual assault are therefore the victims of sex-based harassment.
In what may amount to a landmark decision for college campuses, a Maryland jury has declared a man falsely accused of sexual assault the victim of sex-based harassment.A male college student falsely accused of sexual assault scored a major victory for due process and equal rights late last month, after a federal jury found the University of Maryland failed to protect him from severe harassment after he was falsely accused and ultimately cleared through the school's own Title IX process.
The jury sided with the falsely accused student -- identified as John Doe in a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Daily Wire -- who accused the University of Maryland of failing to protect him from severe harassment, including a student-led smear campaign, after he was fully cleared from from the female student's allegations.
The case was heard before an Obama-appointed judge, Paula Xinis, and the jury found evidence that falsely accused man faced harassment that was "so severe, pervasive, and objectively offense that it deprived him of equal access to an educational opportunity or benefit at the University of Maryland." It also found that the University of Maryland "was deliberately indifferent to the harassment."
AdvertisementThe ruling marks the first time that a jury has ever found that false sexual assault accusations can be considered sex-based harassment, according to the man's attorney, Jason Greaves of the Binnall Law Group.
Sanity half-prevails as a federal judge upholds New Hampshire's new election-security rules, which state that a student cannot just show a student ID to prove his eligibility to vote. He must show official ID showing he's a permanent resident of New Hampshire.
Unfortunately, this woke judge then struck down New Hampshire's rule that all voters must show an official ID. He claims that's an "overstep" of authority that might keep illegal aliens from voting for Democrats.
He didn't say the last part, but that's their concern.
New Hampshire students will no longer be able to use a student ID card as proof of identity when they show up to the polls to vote after a federal judge upheld the state's new voter ID restrictions.The ruling, issued by U.S. District Court judge Joseph Laplante, upheld a New Hampshire law requiring students to have a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, to vote.
But Laplante's decision also sided with good government groups who sued over New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan's unilateral extension of that requirement to the voter registration process, ruling that the state's top election official overstepped his authority.
"The State has offered no independent justification for that broader prohibition," Laplante wrote in the ruling. "Under the Supreme Court’s standard for evaluating voting regulations, even a minimal burden on the right to vote must be justified by the State’s interests, and the State has identified no interest."
Trump continues his agenda of a Reagan-like rearmament.
I know that's bad because Tucker Carlson says no nation has the right to go to war, ever, unless it's Nazi Germany or Putin's Russia. Or probably one of the Arab states he may or may not be partnered up with.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced the construction of a major shipyard in Baltimore, which he said would be the largest new shipyard in the U.S. since World War II."Today, we're officially launching the construction of the largest new shipyard in the United States since World War II, there's been nothing like what we're doing today," Trump said.
The $3.7 billion investment from Anduril will receive billions more in support from the federal government. The facility will span 2 million square feet and be known as Arsenal-2.
Trump said the new yards will help build submarines.

The NYT is attempting to get Sophie Cunningham banned from the WNBA.
A New York Times columnist says WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, an outspoken opponent to transgender athletes in women's sports, has turned games for her team, the Indiana Fever, into a "circus" and that the team should release her.The Fever was eliminated last week from championship contention, and the 30-year-old Cunningham is now an unrestricted free agent for a second consecutive offseason.
"Cunningham is too combustible, her takes too turbulent to be paired with [league star] Caitlin Clark," columnist Candace Buckner writes in her opinion story, published Tuesday.
"Clark, by her presence alone, already can't get through a season without being thrown into gutter debates that pit White against Black; hate that appears even in the DMs of her own teammates. Cunningham, with only a few words, introduced new divisions."

Oh, and he posed as "MAGA" in doing it.
Lot of that going 'round.
Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79NEW: Haverford Professor Guangtian Ha has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking a Jewish colleague.
Posing as a MAGA anon on X, he allegedly messaged another Haverford professor around 50 times between October 2025 and May 2026.
In addition to posting vile antisemitic messages (see below), he allegedly posted his colleague's "home address, infant child's name, a photograph of the family's mailbox, countless antisemitic slurs and threats, and reference to real-time observation of their home."
The target's wife twice moved out of the home with their three children because they were so terrified.
Ha is a member of Faculty for Justice in Palestine.
He has called complaints about antisemitism on campus "Zionist witch hunts."
Originally from China, he is an associate professor of religion at Haverford who studies Islam in China.
He holds a PhD in anthropology from Columbia. His dissertation is entitled, "Religion of the Father: Islam, Gender, and Politics of Ethnicity in Late Socialism."
He won the 2023 Clifford Geertz Prize in the Anthropology of Religion for his book, The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China.
He is "charged with one count of cyberstalking pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
2261A(2). The statutory maximum for cyberstalking is five years' imprisonment, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment."Here are some of the messages he posted (brace yourself):

"@[Victim 1] Fat jew, leave lower merion."
"@[Victim 1] Jew, watch your [Victim I's minor son's true name]. There shall be a sign."
After the victim took security precautions: "@[Victim 1] The goyim have woken up, jew. Run. Flee. Leave. Blurring your home on google map and installing a security camera next to your mailbox won't help."
"[Victim 1], the jewish state will stop existing, whether you like it or not, which is why as an Israeli zio jew you want to recreate america in 'iSrAeL's' image. This won't work. You and your family have no future here. Homeless dogs jews will once again become, if you do survive."
"That's right[Victim 1]The end of American jews is close. Let's start with the jews in Lower Merion. Watch out jewish nigga."
"[is] that blood, [Victim 1]? We know jews are blood-sucking demons. Only the libtard niggas [...] will protect you. But soon we are going to make sure you have no place to hide, fat rat."

Somali Aspiring Doctor and/or Engineer Arrested for Plotting to Shoot Up the Mall of America for ISIS
—Disinformation Expert Ace
We're hitting Economic Contribution and Cultural Enrichment levels that shouldn't even be possible!
In another persuasive example of how diversity increases our strength, the FBI conducted what appears to have been a sting operation that netted a Minnesotan Somali man who was planning a terrorist attack at the Mall of America later this month.
Details of the plot are still emerging, and it's unclear whether the man was acting alone. Clearly, the FBI had reason to suspect him, since the charges indicate that he bought a weapon from an FBI agent and discussed his intentions, pledged support for ISIS and terrorism in general, and his desire to die for Allah. Obviously, something directed the FBI to this man as the plotting was going on, since they had been following his movements for two years.
Some People Plotted to Shoot Some Other People.
According to an affidavit unsealed on Wednesday, FBI agents arrested 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud on Tuesday directly after he purchased an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition with the stated intent of carrying out a mass shooting.The criminal complaint alleges Mohamud had messaged an informant for nearly two years, discussing his hatred of non-Muslims and his desire to align with an Islamic terror group. He floated the idea of joining al Qaeda and al Shabaab before deciding to lend his support to the Islamic State.
Mohamud repeatedly expressed his admiration for Islamic terrorist attacks, including the New Year's Eve 2024 attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans; the 2017 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida; and the 2025 mass shooting during a Hanukkah gathering at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
When the informant tried to talk Mohamud out of such an attack, he replied, "I am 100% committed [sic] to the cause of dying for the sake of Allah only."
Messages indicated he planned to target the Hmong Arts Celebration at Mall of America on Oct. 24 because "it will be a lot of people." ... During that transaction, he explained that he was "an active member of ISIS" and that "part of his motivation was that the Mall of America was owned by Jews," the complaint states.

Nick Shirley Exposes How Bums Sell Taxpayer-Funded Food Stamps to Scammers -- Often "Foreign" -- for Cash to Buy Drugs.
The Homeless Bums Chase Him Down the Street for Exposing the Scam.
—Disinformation Expert Ace
That all came after a wild investigation which showed how street hoods trade their SNAP funds for cash -- or fentanyl, oftentimes. Shirley likened it to swapping Pokemon cards, only this was for pennies on the dollar; he asked a man who said he had $306 on his food stamp card how much he was willing to deal it for, and the man said he was willing to sell it for $120.Shirley then linked up with a middle-aged woman from Vietnam who said she could make a deal with him. She ushered him over to a seafood market where the cashier rang them up for $120 for a can of spam and one plate of sushi; Shirley -- who was donning a Seahawks beanie and face mask as he tried to hide his identity -- said it was clear the woman was part of a "mafia-style ring," where she was getting a kickback from the store for funneling bogus food stamp deals to them.
I assume the woman would then "refund" him like $60, taking $120 in a "sale" of one can of spam (which taxpayers pay for) and then giving the guy presenting the card half of that back in cash.
After leaving the store together, Shirley and his crew confronted the woman.
"You're committing fraud. Food stamp fraud. It's against the law," Shirley told her.
The woman took it in stride. "I know, yeah." She then started ratting other people out on the street who were apparently running the same scheme.
Shirley then returned to the seafood market to ask why they were allowing the fraud to take place. While there, all hell broke loose on the sidewalks outside, with one of the security guards trading blows with a "homeless individual" -- which led to his gun falling out in a crowd of suspected fentanyl addicts. The security guy then started punching other guys around him when no one would return his gun.
Once he was filled in as he was leaving the store, Shirley and the other members of his crew started running for safety. A homeless suspected drug addict tried to join their getaway, but he apparently couldn't keep up.
"I'm on fenty, I can't run!" the man yelled as Shirley skirted off.
Nick shirley
@nickshirleyy🚨 1 can of Spam for $120.
Food stamps have become the new ATM for fraudsters as they partner with local businesses to commit the fraud as they trade SNAP cards like Pokémon cards on the streets.
Across America food stamp fraud is happening everywhere. It has become a billion dollar fraudulent industry as taxpayers fund the $100 billion program.
We caught a fraudster on the streets of Seattle as she attempted to buy a can of spam and sushi for $120 in a food stamp for cash exchange, it's a billion dollar fraudulent scheme stealing from the poor and hungry. This is a must watch and is happening everywhere.
EXPOSE AND SHUT IT ALL DOWN.

Jihadi Zohran Mamdani: I'd Like to "Grieve" the 1,100+ Victims of the October 7 Hamas Attacks. That Out of the Way (In Just Three Sentences), Let Me Now Explain Why Hamas Was Right to Massacre Jews and They Brought It On Themselves.
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Oh no he didn't, you might be thinking.
But Oh yes he did:
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
@NYCMayor
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government's devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians--including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them -- all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.
Note his justification of Hamas terror murders, kidnapping, and rapes is much more detailed and particularized than his brief, begrudging "Some People Did Some Things" blow-off of October 7.
Do you want the US to support full ethnic cleansing of the "Palestinian" territories? Because this is how you get the US to support full ethnic cleansing of the "Palestinian" territories.
And if you keep on justifying your cult's constant terrorism, you might see worse than that.
Keep it up. Keep telling us exactly what you really believe, and what you really have in store for us kafirs once you wipe the Jews off the map.

Totally-Normal Rompin'-Stompin' Heterosexual James Talarico Mysteriously Vanishes for 11 Days As Campaign Comes to Climax
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Mysteriously disappearing is totally a male thing to do and not something that Judy Garland would do on a pill-bender.
With just 28 days remaining until he faces off against Republican candidate Ken Paxton, Democrat James Talarico is nowhere to be found.Talarico has not been seen publicly in Texas in over a week, with his last appearance occurring on Saturday, September 26, before he took a fundraising trip to New York City. There, he was treated to a VIP fundraising dinner where attendees, like a filmmaker who labeled America a "shithole" and a group that advocates for child sex change surgeries, were charged $27,000 a plate.
AdvertisementOn Wednesday, September 30 Talarico was slated to speak with the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley, but instead joined virtually from a hotel because "his staff says he's ill and was unable to travel." During the appearance, Talarico claimed that he was forced to seek care at an urgent care clinic in Dallas, but social media users have disputed the timeline offered by the candidate.
Then, on Friday, October 2, the Talarico campaign chose to recycle footage from a February 22 rally before Talarico had even won the Democrat nomination, and tried to pass it off as current.
Next, his campaign cancelled an event slated for October 5 with the Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium. The campaign has offered no explanation as to why the event was suddenly canned.
I don't want to spread any WITHOUT EVIDENCE theories. And like Candace Owens, I am not a medical doctor.
That said -- I think it's obvious that this is AIDS-related bipolar disorder.
He's got "the AIDS crazies."
Speaking of people missing from the campaign trail -- for some reason, Joe Biden, the Healthiest and Most Vital Man in the Whole of Christendom, is skipping out on campaigning for his fellow socialist civilization-razers.
Former President Joe Biden has been largely absent from the campaign trail as Democrats fight to win back House and Senate majorities in November, even as former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris step up efforts to boost the party's candidates.Biden, 83, has kept a limited public schedule while battling advanced, metastatic prostate cancer. He has endorsed candidates and is helping Democrats raise money, according to a source in Biden's political circle. But the former president has made few political appearances this year.
The contrast is increasingly visible with four weeks to go until Election Day.
Obama is cutting ads for Senate and gubernatorial candidates, helping the party fundraise and preparing to hit the trail during the closing stretch of the midterm campaign. Harris, the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee, is also campaigning across key battleground states, including a recent stop in Michigan with Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
Biden has appeared at just a handful of political events this year. He spoke in February at a reception honoring his 2020 South Carolina primary victory, which propelled him toward the Democratic nomination and eventually the presidency. In June, he addressed a Maryland Democratic Party event.
One of the two statements below is true, and one is false.
Can You find the true statement?
Longtime Democratic strategist Michael Ceraso told Fox News Digital that some in the party's elite and fundraising class are concerned that "if Biden were to be pushed out there in any sort of way for virtual or in-person opportunities, he could be a liability."
Veteran Democratic strategist Maria Cardona had a different take, telling Fox News Digital, "There are still a ton of Americans who love Joe Biden."
Talarico's partner in weirding everyone out, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, denies that he's a dual citizen of Egypt.
One problem with that -- he openly bragged about being a dual citizen on videotape.
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed told a Detroit audience in 2016 that he has "dual citizenship" in the United States and Egypt, according to previously unreported video. It's the second time he's been documented making the claim, even though his campaign now claims he was never a dual citizen.El-Sayed made the remark about his dual citizenship onstage at a GlobeMed conference in Detroit, where the far-left Democrat served as the city's health director at the time.
"I carry dual citizenship, and I grew up spending most of my summers in another country where I understood what it meant not to have the right to self-govern," said El-Sayed, whose parents emigrated from Egypt to the Detroit area in 1978.
El-Sayed went on to tell a story, one he still tells on the campaign trail a decade later, that he was questioned by Egyptian police during one of those summer visits for publicly cursing Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's president at the time.
The newly revealed 2016 video marks at least the second time El-Sayed has publicly claimed to have Egyptian status. His academic résumé stated in 2014 that he was a citizen of the United States and Egypt, the Washington Free Beacon previously reported.
El-Sayed's campaign told the Free Beacon, which reported in January on the dual citizenship claim made on his résumé, that El-Sayed was mistaken about his citizenship status.
Uh huh.

AfD Wins Speakership of Regional Government in Saxony-Anhalt; Socialist Open Borders Spanish PM Calls for New Elections
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The actual vote in the Saxony-Anhalt regional elections happened weeks ago. It was covered here. AfD won, but were three seats shy of gaining majority control of the regional parliament. As usual, the so-called "right-leaning" parties would join with socialists and communists to keep the AfD from ever exercising political power.
However, there was a far-left party which was willing to negotiate with AfD. The left-wing party is pro-Russia and had common ground with the AfD on this point.
The deal was struck -- AfD will control the regional government. They secured additional votes beyond those from the far-left party.
AfD leader Alice Weidel announced the news:
Alice Weidel @Alice_WeidelOct 6
Translated from German
Congratulations to Tobias Rausch (AfD), the newly elected President of the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt – and the first AfD Landtag President in the history of our party. Rausch received 48 votes -- and thus 9 more than the AfD parliamentary group has members. A great success!

Marine Le Pen is LEADING the polls to be next French President.
The right is LEADING the polls to win the upcoming Spanish election.
The AfD party has seen massive success in recent regional German elections.
The Freedom Party in Austria lead the polls at around 40%
The right wing/Libertarian FrP party of Norway has a massive lead with 35% support in latest poll.
The socialist Spanish PM who amnestied at least 500,000 illegal aliens and probably 1,000,000, Pedro "Dirty" Sanchez, has called for new elections. This is because his political position is weak and he wants a fresh mandate of support.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Monday called a snap election for Nov. 29, a vote that could signal the demise of the EU's last major Socialist government and remove one of Europe's chief critics of U.S. President Donald Trump from the political front line.Already weakened by the corruption cases battering his Socialist Party, Sánchez took a further knock this summer when he faced fierce blowback over his handling of the ongoing migrant crisis in the North African exclave of Ceuta.
But the bitter topic of unaffordable housing -- something that tops the list of voters' concerns in Spain and which has sparked nationwide protests -- has finally prompted Sánchez to call an early election in an apparent bid to seize a campaign battleground he believes could work to his advantage.
But he's unlikely to get that. Political oddsmakers said he was 56% likely to be booted out of power -- and that was before he actually called for snap elections.
Visegrád 24 @visegrad24BREAKING:
Snap elections in Spain this year and PM Sanchez's fall from power is now likely according to Polymarket.com
The likelihood has skyrocketed from just 12% a few days ago to 56%
Sanchez will likely loose power to Vox and the PP party, that are expected to form a coalition government.
...
The related "next prime minister" market on Polymarket.com has Feijóo near 80% and Sánchez around 13%.Recent poll averages put PP near 33%, PSOE near 26%, and Vox near 18%, with PP+Vox seat projections often above the 176 seats needed for a majority coalition government.
The ongoing Ceuta migration crisis and upcoming legal cases based on corruption charges against Sánchez's wife Begoña Gómez and his close allies make snap elections this year a better choice than waiting for the term's natural end next summer.
Sanchez also believe that going to election on housing issues is much better campaign terrain for the left than mass-immigration and the invasion of Ceuta, which has greatly angered the Spanish public.
Now Polymarket says he's 70% likely to lose:
Eric Daugherty @EricLDaughOct 5
🚨 JUST IN: Socialist Spanish PM is likely to be OUSTED after his leftist government failed, and he called snap elections for Nov. 29
Center-right Feijóo's party has allied with populist Vox, and that could ENSURE Sanchez is no longer Prime Minister
70% chance the PP party -- center-right -- WINS, per Polymarket.com
WAY BETTER THAN SOCIALISM. This party has worked with right-wing VOX, which I hope eventually wins NATIONAL control
MAKE IT HAPPEN, SPAIN! Trending in the right direction!

Minnesota Under Siege By, Get This, Somali Gangsters
—Disinformation Expert Ace
See video here of tribal gangsters brazenly shooting automatic weapons in the suburbs. They're not running. They know no one will come to chase them.
Of all the things I can't believe this is the most can't believiest.
The Somali gangbangers shot up a couple of towns right after a community meeting to air grievances about the Somali gangsters shooting up towns.
It's completely unbelievable.
Gunfire in Eden Prairie, Bloomington follows Edina 'gun violence' community meetingSources told Alpha News that the shootings in Eden Prairie and Bloomington were also related to Somali gangs.
I am nonplussed. I have shed of all of my plusses.
A community meeting was held at Edina City Hall Monday night to discuss recent violent incidents in the city and surrounding areas.The recent incidents include shots fired on the campus of Edina's Our Lady of Grace church and school late last month, which the police chief later said involved Somalis, and a double shooting at Eden Prairie High School's homecoming game this past Friday, which that city's police chief later confirmed was Somali gang violence.
The deuce you say. The absolute deuce!
Hours after the meeting ended, Eden Prairie police confirmed that shots had been fired in yet another incident in their city Monday night....
Additionally, police are investigating a shooting in Bloomington that took place early Tuesday. Sources say that shooting was also related to Somali gangs.
For serious? This doesn't sound like the invaders from a warlord-controlled degenerate third-world hellscape of constant tribal warfare that I know.
Monday's community meeting in Edina, framed as a "community conversation addressing gun violence," began with a long prologue from Mayor Jim Hovland acknowledging the "Somali youth gang-type problem" in the metro area. Hovland followed up with comments about a potential "community cohesion problem" and urged people to avoid associating the violence with other people with Somali identity. "Somali families and other residents are understandably concerned" over being stereotyped or targeted, Hovland said.
Well that's the most important thing, worrying that the people causing the gangster shooting epidemic will be blamed for causing the gangster shooting epidemic. Let's not solve the gangster shooting epidemic, let's put all of our effort into making sure the people causing the gangster shooting epidemic don't feel bad about causing the gangster shooting epidemic.
One of the police chiefs from that video I linked at the top of the post stated that the Somali Gangster Shooting Epidemic isn't about poverty -- he said the "youths" shooting up neighborhoods live in "$3500 a month apartments" or in homes "worth more than my mortgage."
It's also not about money or drugs, surprisingly.
He says it's just about "social media beefs." Another way to say this is that foreign invaders come from a place where it expected and valorized that "youths" will form violent gangs to war with other violent gangs over nothing except position and advantage and reputation, and that Minnesota has imported the Somali warlord-and-gang problem.
What's amazing is that Doctors and Engineers would descend into such wanton violence.
...Members of the public lined up to comment and were given about three minutes each to speak. Several Somali or East African commenters said they lived in the area and were also concerned about the violence. However, some wondered why officials were using the word "Somali" in connection to the gang violence and asked officials stop using the word Somali. They also asked for more investment in Somali youth through programs and funding as a potential curb to the violence.
Oh, the Somalis want state "funding." Again, I am open-mouthed in disbelief as if smacked in the face with a frozen carp.
Other commenters included a married couple who are Edina school bus drivers, one of whom stated he believed the violence was due to "spillover" from Minneapolis crime, which was "brought on by the sanctuary policies of Gov. [Tim] Walz."
That's as racist as it is true.
Local police want to take more aggressive measures-- but the Somali Criminal Protection Racket that is the Hennepin County government refuses.
*Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is backing calls for a regional task force to address Somali gang violence in the Twin Cities.*Fletcher criticized Hennepin County leaders as he pushed for a stronger regional response to recent gang violence.
* Fletcher said law enforcement needs to arrest more suspected gang members to send a message that shootings and violence will not be tolerated.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher threw his support behind a regional task force to tackle Somali gang violence while blaming weak prosecution of crime for letting the issue fester, specifically calling out Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty.
...
Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is calling for a regional law enforcement task force to address what he describes as Somali gang violence across the Twin Cities.
...
The sheriff made it clear that the individuals responsible for the violence are a small fraction of the greater Somali community.
"I've told you the number is about 300," said Sheriff Fletcher. "We sent 250 letters to known gang members for the state fair. That number still is a good number, but we need to arrest a big chunk of these kids and send a message to the groups as a whole that we're not going to tolerate this type of shooting and violence. And I do want to I want to mention this number again, because this gets really politically contorted. We're talking about a small number of 300 children. There are over 100,000 Somalis living in Minnesota."
Fletcher explained that arresting even just 50 of the estimated 300 gang members would "dramatically" cut crime. He says he'd like to see 25 of those 50 face federal RICO charges.
"We have to be honest, right?" added Ramsey County Deputy Jama Shine. "We do have a gang problem. We do have a Somali gang problem, and we know who these kids are. We know their parents. We know where they live. They're very mobile, and they're causing a lot of problems in the community. I have to say this, the Somali community are not the first immigrants that dealt with gang issues, right? If you look at the 80s and the 90s. The Hmong community, Asian communities, and the only way to overcome it is to address the issue."
This problem, like so many others, begins with an arrogant, ideological fanatical woke white lesbian with a body type resembling a beer truck.
...
The sheriff also called out Hennepin County leaders for not taking enough action to confront the gang violence.
Specifically, he mentioned Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt. For Moriarty, the sheriff questioned whether the county attorney's policy on young offenders was effective.
..."I don't actually think it would take any money myself," said Sheriff Fletcher. "It takes commitment. You know, the commitment we made in Ramsey County to retask some of these bodies. Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, we need Dawanna Witt to commit to this project. It cannot succeed over there if the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office doesn't put bodies into this mix, because they're the biggest agency over there."
...
Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt fired back at Sheriff Fletcher's comments during a press conference Tuesday afternoon in Bloomington. Witt was speaking about a shooting early that morning that police believe was also connected to gang violence.
Sheriff Witt said her department had already repurposed two task forces to focus on gangs that were working to provide information to regional partners. Speaking Tuesday, she told Fletcher to mind his own business.
"He just has a habit of talking about stuff he don't know nothing about," Sheriff Witt said. "He never called me and asked me that question. So just because he doesn't know doesn't mean it's not happening. So he shouldn't mind Ramsey County business."

EXCLUSIVE: 'We need honesty'
There have been 3 Somali gang shootings in the past 4 days in Minnesota. Elected officials say there are no Somali gangs here, and yet, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher says there have been a hundred shootings and 14 Somali gang-related deaths in the last year. He's created a unit devoted to Somali gangs, and brought us inside.
Several of his deputies are Somali. Deputy Jama Shine tells me "I'm from the community. This case doesn't represent me. It doesn't represent our community. We need it to stop, and we need to hold them accountable."
Sheriff Fletcher @RamseySheriff likens the situation to what's happened in Europe: "we better work our butts off right now to fix this problem in the Somali community, or we are going to launch into a 200-year legacy that won't be unlike what some of the European countries are seeing."

Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
One of the obvious and glaring differences between the 2016 and 2024 Trump Administrations has been in the cabinet. This time around, Trump has some real fighters and loyalists doing critical work for his administration, and who can meaningfully "move the ball down the field" on key objectives. The person most people would probably mention first if asked is Marco Rubio. Sure, he is Secretary of State and doing a tremendous job there, he has also become something of a "minister without portfolio," jumping in wherever he's needed and whipping things into shape while wiping the floor with the opposition. Rubio is a key policymaker and much of what he is doing will pay dividends for years to come.
Looking past Rubio, there are other cabinet standouts. Linda McMahon has been doing meaningful work at Education, working to roll back much of the prior era's disastrous wokification of public education and working to cut some of the supports out from under the ideological sewer that is "higher education." Sean Duffy has been quarterbacking major initiatives around air traffic control and cutting back on Biden-era regulatory nightmares like the "green" highway construction requirements. Chris Wright has been a dynamo at Energy (pun intended, enjoy), clearing the decks for increased atomic power and helping to degrade the war on oil. There are various others doing the work to move the agenda and set the country up for success, but there may be no cabinet secretary who is doing more to secure the future of the Republic than Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Three years have passed since the Hamas massacre of Oct. 7, 2023 — the wholesale murder, rape and torture of more than 1,200 men, women, children and infants in Israel. Yet as Jews everywhere gather to mourn, what should be a day of quiet reflection and prayer, of defiant cries of “Never again,” is being eclipsed by something dark and obscene.The tragedy of 10/7 has ripped the veil off the antisemitism that has always bubbled below the surface. As the nation of Israel dares to defend itself against an existential threat, the gloves have come off.
Jew hatred is now more than a quiet obsession. It is cool. In Hollywood, Jew hate has emerged from the shadows and become a chic and trendy pastime. World-famous antisemites such as Susan Sarandon, Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem don keffiyeh in solidarity with bloodthirsty terrorists. Onstage, musicians Macklemore and Zach Bryan rant about fictional Palestinian “genocide” while snubbing their noses at Jewish agony. . . In Gracie Mansion, the mayor of the city second only to Israel in its concentration of Jews, entertains Holocaust deniers and 10/7 sympathizers, ramping up a record wave of anti-Jewish hate crimes. Instead of protecting all the people of this city, Mayor Zohran Mamdani agitates for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while surrounding himself with like-minded socialist staffers, advisers and adoring acolytes who share Hizzoner’s disdain and contempt for Jews.
The planet has turned upside-down.
To every sane person out there, yes the planet has turned upside down but considering we are barely a month past the 25th anniversary of 9/11/01, where perhaps we had imagined or deluded ourselves into believing that the world had righted itself when the rubble was removed and the smoke had cleared, and then the London Underground was bombed followed in short order by the attack in Madrid at the Atocha train station.
But of course the Freedom Tower was built, and yet Islam, and its ally of convenience domestic and international socialism continues its bloody rampage across Europe and the world...
The genocide of Nigerian Christians at the hands of Islamic Jihadists continues apace, although you wouldn’t know it from the mainstream media, which is myopically focused on its pet political project, the so-called Palestinian people.The X post... captures the heartbreaking loss of one innocent in particular, a schoolteacher who was a light for his students and community.
In the twisted words of Socialist demi-god numero uno Joe Stalin "The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic, and yet we have the death of one by one by one, sometimes one at a time sometimes dozens or even thousands at a time, and yet and yet and yet...
but then again, we have just passed the 84th anniversary of the wholesale slaughter at the Babi Yar ravine.
As Holocaust memorial institutions gathered on Monday to mark the 84th anniversary of the Babyn Yar massacre, in which Nazis and their collaborators murdered more than 33,000 Jews in a two-day rampage, the names of more than 1,000 previously unidentified victims were read for the first time thanks to new archival documentation.
United Airlines has removed from service a pilot who called Hamas terrorists behind the October 7 massacre “brave,” pending a review, The Daily Wire can first report. Capt. Ibrahim R. Mossallam was first suspended with pay in November 2023, but Israel’s Channel 14 reported on Monday that United quietly allowed him to return to the cockpit just six months later. United told The Daily Wire on Tuesday that it has pulled the pilot from the skies“We have withheld this pilot from service pending an ongoing review,” an airline spokesman said.The airline did not confirm whether Mossallam had resumed flying after it began investigating in late 2023.
Switching gears completely, this is something that I'd usually ignore but because my dear sweet wife and sister-in-law were yammering on about it endlessly yesterday evening, I just "can't get it out of my head," with all due deference and apologies to E.L.O...
California Democrats just hit a damning new low, bewailing how President Donald Trump supposedly invited Iran to nuke Los Angeles and San Diego.As LA Mayor Karen Bass and others chimed in, Gov. Gavin Newsom posted: “The President is advocating for an attack on 10+ million U.S. residents in two of America’s largest cities.”
He added: “This is not normal. None of this is” — when in fact it’s an all too normal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
From Dems’ accounts, you’d guess Trump had at least made some tasteless joke; after all, he did just give out a GOP senator’s personal cell number just because the guy won’t agree to end Daylight Savings Time.
But no; it’s a straight-up smear. Here’s what Trump said at Monday night’s Nebraska rally: “You want to see a tremendous victory [in Iran], because it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the word, [the gas price rise] is just artificial, it’s a little bit high. “It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That’s — this is a very small price to pay, and it’s gonna be over with very soon.”
Sloppy, sure; Trump was riffing on the stump. But no way was he inviting Iran to attack those cities, nor even joking about it.
He was arguing that the temporary spike in gas prices is a very small price to pay, compared to the terrible cost of Iran going nuclear and destroying an American city.
No, it wasn't sloppy at all. Anyone with more than Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' two barely firing synapses, if that many, not only knows what the President said and in what context but understands that an Iranian nuclear warhead is an existential threat that must be neutralized. In no way did he cheer on or call for Iran to nuke San Diego or LA, though given who and what is running California and far too many other places in America and what they have planned for the rest of the nation should they gain control of the Federal government, and if they have their way never relinquish that control, the jokers twisting President Trump's words actually make the case.
And now let the trolls accuse me of calling for Iran to nuke America! Meh, why am I getting so exercised. It's puerile, infantile, amateurish and typical of the Trump-deranged Left, and yet too many seemingly intelligent people swallow this crap whole without even a mildly critical second thought.
Oh well, it is what it is. So Basta cosi and God bless the memory of all those slaughtered by Islam and protect us from their evil and that of their allies of convenience on the Left who seek our destruction so they can serve Satan by destroying and enslaving us. On these and all the other cheery news of the day, I nevertheless bid you all to
have a good day.

Man Sexually Assaults Women in a Planet Fitness Bathroom Even Though I Was Assured This Never Happens
—Disinformation Expert Ace
What they really mean is what some of them admit about little girls being forced to look at adult male perverts' dicks in changing rooms: Little girls will just have to get over their discomfort at viewing a penis.
And as far as women being brutalized or raped by men in women's bathrooms: You're just gonna have to suck it up, Karen.
A man was arrested Thursday morning after police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said he went into the women's locker room at a Planet Fitness in Porter Square and sexually assaulted people inside.Police responded to an emergency call at the Massachusetts Avenue gym, just after 9 a.m. Thursday. According to Cambridge police, the suspect, later identified as Laquan Holland, was arrested at the scene. One victim was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
He does not "appear trans," and by "appear trans," of course I mean "looking obviously like a man attempting a grim parody of womanhood."
He just seems like the typical street hood rapist.
But of course, "trans" people aren't required to do anything to prove their Special Privileged Status, so maybe he is "trans," as he defines it.
At any rate, he had every right to be in those bathrooms, decided Planet Fitness.
The incident left frequent gym-goers shaken. "I've always felt safe. Now that I've heard that this had happened, I'll definitely have to look behind my back," said Dr. Yena Do, who works out frequently at the gym. "Which is not a great feeling. I'm going there to work out, undressing out of my scrubs and get into my workout clothes. I'm definitely going to think about that."The Planet Fitness is located on the bottom floor of Lesley University's University Hall, a multi-use building that includes several private businesses accessible by the public.
Lesley University student Sophia Holloway said everyone should be able to feel safe in all public spaces.
"It's horrible. I feel like it's a big tragedy. Everyone should be able to feel safe and secure wherever they are. Women out here face such hardships, and I think that the world needs to know that it's not OK," Holloway said.
...
Planet Fitness said the franchise group canceled Holland's membership following the incident.
Oh, you cancel rapist's memberships after attempted rapes? Awesome. That fixes everything, Planet Fitness.
And of course we know that "trans women" never attack and kill actual women.
Except for all the times they do.
A troubled one-time Marine recruit who was transitioning to live as a trans woman has admitted to stabbing a hiker to death -- having told cops she was "what I would want to look like."Zion Teasley, 25, pleaded guilty to murdering beauty technician Lauren Heike, 29, in a deal that took the death penalty off the table.
Of course. The woke left won't allow women to be executed, so of course they won't allow "trans women" to be executed, either. Trans women are women, bigots.
<
The felon, who had left the Marines just months after going through bootcamp, will instead spend the rest of his life in prison for killing the hiker, who was found dead by neighbors at the foot of a barbed wire fence with 15 stab wounds off a Phoenix trail in 2023.
Before the murder, Teasley wrote in his diary that he was "battling with my gender identity and sexuality," which he believed was conflicting with his Christian faith, according to a 400-page police report on the killing obtained by ABC 15 last year.
"I want to live a life of serving god, but how can I with these and other sins in the way," wrote the killer, whose attorney called "she" in court.
"[I know] I am forgiven for my sins, but it's still a lot of pressure and it's hard to maintain a good Christian mindset 24/7."
He said he was depressed by seeing "beautiful" women because he was stuck being "a man."
Let's keep encouraging and amplifying the delusions of the mentally ill and keep telling them that they can be Real Women, accepted as such and courted by heterosexual men, if they just remain militant enough about their "rights" and go through enough expensive, body-destroying, sanity-shredding surgeries.
