Two Afghan Asylum Seekers Imprisoned in UK for Rape of 15-Year-Old Girl; State Is Suppressing the Audio Recording She Made Begging and Crying for Help, Because It Would Spark Riots Nationwide if the Public Heard It
She begged passers-by for help. One woman stopped and asked "Are you all right?" She answered "No, help me, please help me, so many people have passed me by, please help me, I want to go home, please help me, they're going to rape me."
We don't know what the woman did -- but the rape was completed. She may have just walked away, knowing for a stone-cold fact that if she intervened and took action against these VIP Invader Rapists she would be the one arrested.
Two teenage asylum seekers from Afghanistan have been jailed after admitting to the rape of a 15-year-old girl in a U.K. park, officials have confirmed.
According to police, the victim had been in Leamington in Warwickshire with friends on May 10 when they met Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal.
The teenage girl began talking with them before they asked her to join them on a walk.
They then led her to a park area known as Newbold Comyn, where they raped her, Warwickshire police confirmed in a statement released online.
Two teenagers admit rape charges in UK court proceedings after a park attack.
Following the attack, the teenager managed to flag down a passerby, who contacted local police.
Detectives launched an investigation using CCTV footage and photographs the victim had taken on her phone earlier in the day.
Officers were able to identify and arrest the two 17-year-old suspects.
Jahanzeb and Niazal were charged with rape and later appeared before the youth court in Coventry, where they admitted the offense.
It's extraordinary that even at this late date, news of immigrant rape has been so forcefully suppressed by the Quisling government that 15 year olds don't even know that Muslim asylum seekers have sky-high rates of rape and sexual assault offenses.
Lawyers are blocking release of the audiotape of the rape victim's terrified pleas for help and mercy -- because it would cause riots were the public to hear it.

This is all on Keir Starmer, a Disgusting POS! A British girl screams "HELP ME! THEY'RE GOING TO RAPE ME" as two Afghan asylum seekers drag her, which she recorded on her phone.
Lawyers are Blocking the footage because "It would cause RIOTS across Britain"
Gee I wonder why they would Riot? Maybe because they are Fed up!
Release it. At some point, there must be riots. As the government of Queer Starmer refuses to stop the mass importation of foreign rapists due to the threat of the rapists already present rioting (as well as a desire to court the Foreign Rape Vote), the general public needs to communicate it the only way the cowardly UK government understands, and that is to riot themselves.
Here's another story about the Rape Colonizers. Oh wait, my mistake, this is story about a completely different migrant Cultural Enforcement Officer.
This is from March 27:
An asylum seeker who abducted and raped a 12-year-old girl has been given a 16-year sentence.
The attack by Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil last summer led to protests in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
Jurors last month found the 23-year-old guilty of rape, abduction, sexual assault and taking an indecent video.
He also pleaded guilty to a count of rape of a child under 13 ahead of the hearing at Warwick Crown Court in February.
Mulakhil was told he would serve 15 years in prison and an extra 12 months on licence.
Even left-liberal saps are outraged by this and suggesting that "Trumpian" responses may be required:

Oh and here's another one from last week:
BREAKING: Three asylum seekers have been found guilty over the rape of a woman on Brighton beach.
The woman was separated from her friends on a night out when the trio found her "staggering in the street" alone, Hove Crown Court heard.https://t.co/CR7vCNbRiv
Every aspect of this story is stomach-churning. Two of perptrators met on a small boat, and 3rd teamed up with them in Asylum hotel. Details of the rape itself are bad enough; their attitudes to rape victim, whose abuse was filmed, just so gross.
Hello. What a terrible story I started off with. Sorry about that. I'll post something lighter next.
Crow Watch: No visiting crows. They just flock on nearby roofs and caw at me, as if in cruel mockery.
The Grown in America Act of 2025 (H.R. 1707) is legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in early 2025. Sponsored by Rep. David Kustoff (R-TN) along with Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA) and others, the bill's goal is to strengthen American agriculture by encouraging businesses to buy more of their agricultural raw materials domestically rather than from foreign countries. This bill, which is a rational response to outsourcing of agricultural products to foreign players that might very well be our adversaries, is a market-driven answer to a national security imperative...we must produce our own food, and if it costs us a bit more than buying it from foreign countries? So be it. Countries worldwide understand this and subsidize their food production in many ways: with direct subsidies, with tax advantages, with estate tax carve-outs for farms, etc. In fact, we do some of that already, with an insanely complex support system that often pays farmers not to produce!
But subsidizing their domestic customers with a tax credit is far cheaper, and it neatly avoids the geopolitical cudgel that other countries can use against America. China is a big fan of threatening to stop buying our soybeans or pork or...whatever...to bolster their negotiating stance in other areas. This decreases the power of that tactic, and also smooths the boom-and-bust cycle of agricultural commodities.
So what's the problem?
Congress is the problem, even though this bill was presented by a bipartisan (vile word, that!) group of congressmen from agricultural states. First, it is quite obviously a MAGA talking point, which makes it unappetizing to the rabid TDS sufferers in the Democrat Party. Second, it will hurt China, and one can be confident that its agents in America are working hard to blunt its support. Fang Fang anyone? And third, it is simply lost in the miasma of a completely dysfunctional Congress. They can do nothing but interfere and obstruct. Just look at the deeply offensive game that John Thune plays in the Senate to prevent recess appointments by the administration for a sense of their obstruction. And the SAVE Act is most probably dead, even though it is supported by huge majorities of Americans!
The financial effect of this bill is modest, especially in comparison to the massive fraud being perpetrated against the American taxpayer by the welfare apparatus. A small fraction of those fraudulent transfer payments would pay for the tax credits being proposed in this bill, and the funds would remain in America, rather than being funneled to Somalia and Venezuela and Guatemala and China and...
But our legislatures are profoundly broken, and driven by motivations so antithetical to the well being of Americans that it is difficult to recognize what exactly they work toward. Is it self aggrandizement? Is it wealth? Is it power? Is it the success of foreign actors at the expense of the American people?
All yes.
In ancient Rome through Victorian England, actors were considered on par with prostitutes. It is time to embrace that social standing for politicians, and relieve the acting profession of their burden as the lowest of the low.

The decision halts the certification process, potentially blocking changes to Virginia’s congressional map, pending the outcome of the appeal. The new map, authorized in a close referendum on Tuesday, heavily favors the Democrats, likely handing the party another four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
At least in the near term, I don't expect this to be resolved before the midterms which was certainly why the evil commie bastards rammed this abomination through when they did. It's not just about Virginia, this vote had and might yet have national implications first of all to completely derail President Trump's remaining two years and then wipe out any national GOP aspirations going forward. Absolute power by every means at their disposal is the Left's ultimate goal, same as it ever was since time immemorial.
Given the vicissitudes of a top down corrupted judiciary, this situation may yet go in the Democrats favor, but at least for now we may have dodged a pretty significant electoral/political bullet.
All of that said, there has been much anger aimed at the GOP for being woefully unprepared for this vote, and rightfully so. For sure the party is at best useless and feckless and at worst collaborating with the Democrats on every level and on every issue. This in spite of the fact that Virginia and America in general is still a distinctly if not overwhelmingly conservative or non-crazy-leftist nation (or is it?). And for sure millions of dollars from the DNC and the usual Soros and other Leftist front groups were poured in to buy the victory.
Yes the Virginia and National GOP have much to answer for but at the end of the day, despite all of the aforementioned, we can bitch and moan about the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites until the cows come home, but the reality is is that it's the voters who don't show up that bear the responsibility for yesterday's abomination. Surely Virginians were not clueless about the ramifications of losing this vote and yet how is it that this was able to pass? 'nuff said.
Naturally the criminals who foisted this on us are warning us not to do unto them what they have done to us because that would be un"Democratic" shall we say. It is to vomit:
In a statement to PunchBowl News founder Jake Sherman, Hakeem Jeffries said that Republicans in Florida will suffer further losses if they move forward with redistricting.
“If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump’s dummymander in Texas,” he said.
“We will aggressively target for defeat Mario Díaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez, Kat Cammack, Anna Paulina Luna, Laurel Lee, Cory Mills and Brian Mast. We are prepared to take them all on, and we are prepared to win.” Jeffries added, “Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”
A destructive, fast-moving invader is wriggling its way into yards across the US, and officials say Californians should be on alert. Agriculture authorities are sounding the alarm over the Asian jumping worm, a highly invasive species that’s already been spotted in multiple states, including the Golden State. . . The worms are easy to spot, and hard to forget.
They’re smooth, dark gray or brown, with a distinctive flat, milky-white band circling their bodies near the head. Bridging the gap between a gardener’s nightmare and a Klingon’s dream, reports indicate that the invasive Asian jumping worm can flip its body a foot into the air, a violent thrashing behavior that perfectly mirrors the legendary Star Trek delicacy, Gagh.
. ..With no reliable way to eliminate them once established, officials are urging residents to focus on prevention.

The first gyro monorail patent was filed by Irish-Australian engineer Louis Philip Brennan in 1903. He first demonstrated a small working model of his invention to the Army and impressed them so much that the Army Council recommended £10,000 for the development of a full-size vehicle. However, the Financial Department vetoed the idea, but Brennan, with the help of the Army, managed to raise £2,000 from various sources.
Brennan demonstrated the monorail again at the Japan-British Exhibition at the White City, London in 1910. This time the monorail car carried 50 passengers around a circular track at 20 miles per hour. Among the passengers was Winston Churchill, whose presence helped Brennan garner great support for his monorail project. Despite the initial enthusiasm, the monorail failed to attract investors, and Brennan was forced to abandon his dream.

These Racist Puppy Videos Brought to You By Secret Funding by the SPLC Cafe

This dog spent all day posting racist memes on Gab, under the direction of the SPLC, and boy are his arms tired.
These innocent-looking capybaras just took off their matching blue button-downs and tan khakis and are sore from marching around all day carrying tiki-torches (furnished to them by the SPLC).
This albino sea turtle complained about the forty remoras free-riding on him and was immediately put on the SPLC "hate map." He was shot and killed shortly thereafter.
This white cerval was paid to infiltrate this rotweiler neighborhood and stir up trouble.
This white supremacist puppy was paid $270,000 by the SPLC to get on this scooter and drive around barking racist slurs (written for the puppy by his SPLC handlers).
The media is pumping out SPLC propaganda, claiming they're being sued for "paying informants," while hiding the actual indictment so that their stupid NPC readers can't see what they're really charged with:

BTW, what is a "virtual winery"? I don't know, but it's not a real winery, or else they would just say "winery." What I imagine is that it's a "winery" with no actual vinyard -- that is, it's just a label. They buy wine from others -- cheap wine, I'd bet -- slap a label on it, and sell it.
You know what's interesting about wine? No one can say with legal precision how much a bottle of wine is worth. Much like Hunter Biden's watercolors, doncha know. Political sympathizers could maybe possibly "buy" cases and cases of greatly over-priced cheapo-beapo "virtual wine" to funnel bribes and illegal campaign contributions to a politician with a level of plausible deniability.

'This Is Hard For Me To Say': MS NOW's Alex Wagner Says Tucker Carlson's Trump Apology 'Feels' Genuine
MS NOW's Alex Wagner admitted Tucker Carlson's apology for helping to elect President Donald Trump "feels" genuine, though she remains skeptical of how much help he could actually be to Democrats.
...
"I do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we'll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be, and I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That's all I'll say," Carlson said.
Wagner first said she was "cynical" about Carlson's declaration, though she eventually conceded that she feels the "tortured" Carlson was "genuine" in expressing remorse for throwing support behind Trump.
She said:
I guess it's welcome if overdue. Pardon me for being a little cynical about the mea culpa. Ari, this is someone who witnessed Trump stage and foment an insurrection at the Capitol and still went and campaigned for the man. Like, did you not think his narcissism was malignant in early January of 2021? Because I sure did. Like, here was a man that clearly was going to stop at nothing, including tearing down our own democracy, to regain power. So the idea that it's just dawned on him that this man's moral compass may not be pointing in the right direction, and he may not be operating with the most strategic manual is like maybe a little bit late and maybe a little bit not as genuine as I wish it was.
She ultimately concluded the public break from Trump for Carlson was a purposeful move that he can't easily go back on.
"This is hard for me to say, but it feels like the apology is genuine. And I also don't know that you can find your way back to supporting Trump once you've had that sort of emotional, sort of almost therapy-like session," Wagner said, adding, "I don't think it should be making Democrats think that Tucker Carlson is going to go out on the campaign trail for them just yet."
But it will. He will follow his leader Nick Fuentes in actively campaigning for the Nazi Right to vote for Kamala Harris.

Before the 2020 election, Biden gave a speech at Gettysburg saying he decided to run for office again after the Charlottesville far-right rally in 2017. The rally was a galvanizing moment for leftists and Democrats, who campaigned and fundraised off it for years, claiming they needed power and money to stop white supremacy.
Biden's White House met with SPLC officials at least 11 times after he won, according to visitor logs.
In the DOJ indictment against the SPLC, it was revealed that in addition to allegedly funding neo-Nazis and KKK members, the SPLC bankrolled one of the leaders of the Charlottesville rally and supervised his "racist" messaging.

Former Virginia attorney general and Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli II posted on X Wednesday about the gerrymandered map, "UPDATE on referendum lawsuits: The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The Judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election & denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted, & it will be immediately appealed."
The new map would almost certainly hand ten out of eleven congressional districts to Democrat control. This would impact not only Virginia, therefore, but the Republican-Democrat balance of power in the U.S. Congress.
Cuccinelli had already predicted that the election results last night were not the final say on Virginia Democrats' gerrymandering. He noted that the "[f]irst passage was invalid," as the "amendment was taken up during a special session convened in 2024 for budget purposes. The General Assembly's own call to the Governor (under Art. IV, §6 and Art. V, §5) and its governing resolution (HJR 6001) limited the session's scope. Expanding it to include a constitutional amendment on redistricting required a two-thirds vote that never occurred." In light of this, a Tazewell County judge ruled that this action was "void, ab initio."
So to even vote this into a referendum, they needed a two-thirds majority vote, which they never even tried to get, so the referendum was never legally before the public.

And finally, as a challenge to the proposed map, "Art. II, §6 requires that 'every electoral district shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory.' The proposed congressional maps violate this contiguity requirement (rather badly)," Cuccinelli wrote.
The Democrats created a giant lobster-shaped district to mix their ultra-blue northeatern voters with red voters in the south and west of the state. It's barely "contiguous" and not "compact" at all, sprawling, as it does, across half the state, a three hour drive from one end to the other.
The SPLC Paid "Unite the Right" -- AKA Boost the Left -- $250,000 and Reaped Over $50 Million in Fundraising Off Its Investment In Manufactured "White Supremacy"

If only the left were that good with taxpayer money.
SPLC should be dissolved and the officers thrown in jail.
I mentioned that the SPLC funded the fake "Unite the Right" rally that serves the Democrat-Media Complex's main op during the 2020 election.
We already knew that the "fine people" hoax was based on the lie that Trump called white supremacists "fine people," instead of, as he did, condemning them. But until yesterday, we didn't know that the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville and whose protest led to the death of one person were bused there on the Southern Poverty Law Center's dime, and were organized to be there by an SPLC "informer."
They funded the riot, organized the riot, bused the marchers to the riot -- and then fundraised off of liberals, promising to stop the very organization that was their paid-for pet!
It's almost surreal how the media and Democrats are whitewashing the allegations against the SPLC, casting them as the good guys who just happened to pay informants. Here's a quick sample of what's actually in the indictment:
• "active promotion of racist groups"
• "made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC"
• "coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees"
• "directly paying leaders" (because nothing says "informant" like paying the guy in charge)
• "high-level SPLC employee who had knowledge the documents had been stolen"
• "donated funds would be used in the commission of state and federal crimes"
• "SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities"
All of that will have to be proven in court, but these are nonetheless extremely serious allegations. The indictment describes a sprawling scheme involving money laundering through fictitious front companies, multi-million dollar fraud against donors, conspiracy, the commissioning of burglary and theft, as well as tax and 501(c)(3) violations tied to funding the activities which the SPLC publicly claims to oppose.
Here is one of the MOST obvious examples of completely FAKE “white supremacists”. You would literally have to be a brain dead, ideologically constipated psychopath to believe for one second that this was real. Or your average worthless Soros-affinity-group moron. https://t.co/QHCGxXMkhP
The riot organizer SPLC paid posted racist social media messages -- under their direction and at their behest.
And then the SPLC worked with the government and social media companies and PayPal to ban people for posing the sorts of "racist messages" they themselves were paying for!

Related: Texas AG is suing Democrat foreign fundraising operation ActBlue for fraud as well.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Democratic political fundraising platform ActBlue over its donation processes that allegedly “allow fraudulent and foreign donations.”
According to the New York Times, ActBlue has processed nearly $19 billion in contributions since its 2004 inception. The organization reported $1.8 billion in 2025 alone, a 41 percent increase compared to 2021. Last year, ActBlue saw 1.35 million new donors add to its over 52 million contributions received.
“The radical left has relied on ActBlue as a way to funnel foreign donations and dark money into their political campaigns to subvert our laws and compromise the integrity of our elections,” the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) said in an April 20 press release.
Paxton alleged the organization has lied to Congress and “blatantly ignored state law that prohibits deceptive practices.”
“In 2023, Attorney General Paxton opened an investigation into whether ActBlue was enabling donor fraud in violation of Texas law,” the press release stated.
I can't wait for Kash Patel's discovery of communications between the Atlantic, owner/Democrat lunatic Lauren Powell Jobs, and the SPLC.
Now it becomes a bit clearer. The Atlantic published a vile and unsubstantiated hit piece on FBI Director Kash Patel right before he revealed an indictment of the SPLC for committing fraud by anonymously funding hate groups that organized "right-wing" rallies, one of which ended in the death of a bystander.

You know, the infamous Charlottesville rally upon which the "fine people" hoax was based.
The Democrats and Pravda media, which have collaborated with the SPLC to smear conservatives for decades, are scrambling to defend the SPLC's illegal activities and, once again, smear Republicans for pointing out their perfidy.
The Atlantic's hit piece on Patel, based entirely on anonymous sources and having no evidence to back them up, is obviously intended to "pre-bunk" anything Patel says.
The claims in The Atlantic's story were bizarre. Kash Patel got blackout drunk. He was locked out of his computers. FBI agents considered using breaching equipment to force open his door, according to the report. He was unable to perform his duties because he was hungover. Etc. Etc.
Does Lauren Powell Jobs have some kind of many-years-old, pre-existing relationship with the SPLC?
Do you know who LOVED the SPLC? In fact, the SPLC was famously her first ever donation and inspired her entire philanthropic career?

That was Jan. 28, 2025. Today Amy Uccello and her husband, who also lost his job when U.S.A.I.D. funding for his nonprofit dried up, rely on food stamps, Medicaid and a supplemental nutrition program for women and children that helps with their now 19-month-old daughter.
The mortgage on their home in Washington was until recently in forbearance, meaning they negotiated to pay less than they owed each month. But the bank has now cut them off and suggested they apply for a low-income mortgage program. "We don't know if we'll qualify," Ms. Uccello said. She and her husband have applied for more than 100 jobs with no luck. Most of their friends don't have jobs either.

When the Trump administration dismantled the sprawling global aid agency last year, it wiped out virtually an entire industry -- international development -- that had been based in Washington since U.S.A.I.D.'s creation in 1961 under President John F. Kennedy. Nearly all of the agency's 16,000 employees were laid off. An estimated 280,000 contractors, partners and local hires worldwide lost their jobs as well.
A year later, people have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with friends and relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers who have done informal surveys estimate that less than half have found full-time work, with many making less than before. An estimated third are unemployed. Others are in part-time work. The District of Columbia currently has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, at 6.7 percent, in large part because of major reductions in the federal work force, including U.S.A.I.D., and cuts to government grants and contracts.

I think this is typical Muslim hudna bullshit -- "negotiating" just to regroup before the next unbroken-for-1300-years war on the world -- but hopefully Trump has reached the end of his patience for this rope-a-dope.
Axios:
U.S. officials first began to see the divisions after the first round of Islamabad talks, when it became clear IRGC commander Gen. Ahmad Vahidi and his deputies had rejected much of what Iran's own negotiators had discussed.
The split broke into the open last Friday. When Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC refused to implement it -- and began publicly attacking him.
Or... so Trump says. I don't know. The mullahs will make sure the first and last pennies they have left are used to pay their secret police and terrorists.

As @POTUS has made clear, the United States Navy will continue the blockade of Iranian ports. In a matter of days, Kharg Island storage will be full and the fragile Iranian oil wells will be shut in. Constraining Iran's maritime trade directly targets the regime's primary revenue lifelines.
The @USTreasury will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically degrade Tehran's ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds.

They claim they were "infiltrating" them. I say, they were creating the fake enemies they then fundraised off of.

Iran Attacks Three Ships in the Strait of Hormuz, Claims It Has Seized Two of Them
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The third I've read was not seized and wasn't damaged too badly but it has stopped movement.
The attacks were conducted by the "fast attack boats" -- speedboats converted for military use -- that for some reason we never dropped daisy-cutter bombs on. I don't know why.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, less than a day after President Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely until Tehran agrees to negotiate a new deal.
The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that an IRGC gun boat approached and then fired on a container ship located 15 nautical miles northeast of Oman. That attack caused "heavy damage" to the ship's bridge, while no fires or environmental damage were reported and the crew was reported safe, according to the organization.
Later in the day, UKMTO noted that an outbound cargo ship eight nautical miles west of Iran was fired upon and had to stop in the water. In that case, the crew was also safe and there was no reported damage to the vessel.
The Fars News Agency in Iran, which is close to the IRGC, reported Wednesday morning that two "violating" ships were seized by the IRGC Navy and directed to the coast of Iran. It is unclear whether those ships are the same ones reported by the UKMTO.
On Tuesday afternoon, Trump announced that he was extending the ceasefire with Iran until officials from the latter return to the negotiating table.
This isn't going to appease Tucker Carlson and the Ron Paul crowd. It might, however, wind up costing Trump actual MAGA voters.
The attacks aren't just about the ships stopped. The attacks are about bottling up oil shipments, so that insurers won't insure them and the ships won't attempt to travel through the strait, so that the price of oil jumps up, our "allies" pressure us and American opinion forces Trump into conceding the war to Iran.
Trump says Iran is "collapsing." Well, may be, but why are you granting them a cease-fire so that they can regroup?
Dining Room of the White House, April 21, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
US President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that Iran was "collapsing financially" over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked three ships in the vital waterway that is blockaded by both Washington and Tehran.
Trump's comments came hours after he announced he was indefinitely extending the two-week ceasefire with Iran, which had been conditioned on Iran lifting its blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran last week briefly lifted its blockade following the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, but reversed course after the US said it would maintain the blockade it had imposed on Iran-linked shipping on April 13, five days into the truce.
"Iran is collapsing financially! They want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately," Trump wrote on Truth Social. The Islamic Republic is "starving for cash" and its military and police were "complaining that they are not getting paid," he claimed, adding: "SOS!!!"
I'm sorry, I do not believe this. Iran is attacking shipping. This is not them saying "SOS." This is Iran attacking shipping.
Yes, they are collapsing financially -- but that will take a while. In the meantime, they're attacking shipping, and for some reason, we're not blowing up their attack boats.
Because of the "cease-fire" that only we are observing.
Why are we not attacking the fast attack boats? Why are we not dropping air-burst bombs over their harbors?
So we can "talk" to the Iranians who are plainly playing us for fools?
Like I said yesterday: Trump wants a deal. It is clear that Iran does not. They think they can win by outlasting him (and us). Trump continuing to talk deal, deal, deal just convinces them more and more that they're right that he doesn't have the perseverance to outlast them.
For example, he's extending the cease-fire, even though Iran is now attacking ships again, because he says that the Iranian government is "fractured" and some parts of it want a deal and other parts don't.
Well, I'm afraid we have to deal with the parts of the Iranian government that do not want a deal first. There is no point talking to the people who want a deal while the people who don't want a deal continue making war.
Trump needs to change their minds. And giving them a ceasefire while prattling forever about how "close" we are to a deal is not changing their minds, it's convincing them they are right and Allah will see them through this.
I don't even believe the talk of an imminent "deal" is able to fulfill its earlier purpose of stopping the price of oil from climbing too high. I think people have heard this song too many times and just don't believe it any longer.
Wars are won with three things, they say: Manpower, firepower, and staying power. Iran has little of the first two but they seek to win by topping us in the third category.

Hello everyone. Sorry to go wobbly but this isn't working. I don't want to hear about how "close" we are to a "deal" any longer, nor how Iran is "collapsing" and "begging for peace" while they seize ships.
There is a former USAF major general named William McCasland. He retired in in the teens. He recently took his .38 revolver and headed out for a hike near his Albuquerque, NM home - and never returned. So far, there is nothing all that unusual about this. A missing persons case - even when it is a former Air Force general - is in fact one of those "local news stories." It is unusual for such a case to be reported on outside of the home market and much more unusual for it be a topic for mainstream outlets like Fox News and Scientific American. Or, for that matter, the FBI, Congress and the White House.
And, in fact, it hasn't. Not on its own. McCasland's recent disappearance, however, is allegedly one incident in a disturbing trend. Per NBC News, there has been much online speculation that McCasland is just the latest incident in a long series of deaths or disappearances of US scientists. The speculation is that US scientists are being targeted, by enemy actors or others of unknown motive. This has since grown into actual investigations to see if there is any there there.
The basis of this speculation is that there are a series of US scientists in nuclear, space and related fields who have mysteriously - and unusually - disappeared or died over the past few years. Specifically, the speculation appears to be around the death or disappearance of at least 10 scientists since 2023. Per Fox News, six of them are dead and four of them are missing:
Michael David Hicks, 59; Frank Maiwald, 61; Nuno Loureiro, 47; Jason Thomas, 45; Amy Eskridge, 34; and Carl Grillmair, 47, all died between 2023 and 2026. Each played a key role in vital scientific research, Fox News Digital previously reported.
The causes of death for Hicks and Maiwald remain unknown. Grillmair was gunned down outside his home on Feb. 16, and Freddy Snyder, 29, was subsequently charged with his murder. Loureiro was also fatally shot at his Massachusetts home. The body of Jason Thomas, an associate director of chemical biology at Novartis, was discovered in Lake Quannapowitt, Mass., three months after he was last seen walking from his home late at night. Eskridge, a Huntsville, Alabama--based researcher, died June 11, 2022, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Monica Reza, 60; Melissa Casias, 53; Anthony Chavez, 79; Steven Garcia, 48; and retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, 68, were all reported missing between 2023 and 2026. All the disappearances occurred under suspicious circumstances.
This sounds quite damning, but it does make me wonder. This is ten people, over about three years, in a country of over 300 million people. At the scale of "the country" or even the relatively rarefied group of "important scientists," is this rate of murder, suicide, unknown death or disappearance unusual? I have no idea. I wouldn't guess that it is. Tragic for their families, yes - but nationally important? I don't know. Congress, however has launched an investigation:
On Sunday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., warned that "something sinister" could be involved.
"We've put a notice out to the Department of War, the FBI, NASA, and the Department of Energy. We want to know everything they know about what happened with these scientists, because those four agencies were predominantly the ones these 11 individuals were affiliated with," he said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends Weekend." "We want to try to piece this together."
So have the FBI and the agencies involved:
"In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases, and President Trump's commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential patterns," Karoline Leavitt later wrote on social media.
NASA has indicated that they see no pattern or national security threat, but are cooperating with the investigation. Secretary Wright told Fox News during an interview about Iran that the Department of Energy is also doing its own investigation to determine if there is any common thread connecting the DOE scientists on the list.
It seems unlikely to me that this is evidence of a coordinated conspiracy to abduct or murder current and former US scientists. I suspect this is much more likely to be an example of "anything can look like a trend if you look hard enough and broadly enough for long enough." Time may, perhaps, tell.
Virginia Democrats’ legally suspect and deceptively worded referendum now gives their allies in the legislature the ability to redistrict the state ahead of the 2026 midterms. The party’s proposal seeks to remake the commonwealth from a six Democrat-five Republican map to a 10 Democrat-one Republican map and effectively disenfranchise millions of rural Virginians in the process.
In addition to dishonest ballot language about “fairness,” the referendum also enjoyed heavy support from the left’s dark money network. A Federalist analysis from earlier this month discovered that more than 90 percent of the funds being poured into the left-wing group backing the amendment (Virginians for Fair Elections) came from outside the state.
According to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), Virginians for Fair Elections received more than $38 million from D.C.-based House Majority Forward (HMF). HMF notably boasts ties to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrat leadership.

I wrote "allegedly voted" above, because as we know all too well, the Democrat party and leftist organizations have the ability and no compunctions to rig, cheat, steal and do whatever they can to win by any means necessary, since they are deluded in the twisted worldview that they and they alone have absolute moral authority and Gott mit uns as their predecessors/kissing cousins from the NSDAP had on their belt buckles, to organize society as they see fit.
As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here) as well as in the sidebar and on the outlets/apps listed at the bottom of the post) Abigail Spanberger is an evil harridan. But make no mistake, she is no outlier nor a one-off. The Democrat Party is out to destroy America as founded, and regardless of their excuses and mythologies always to acquire and wield absolute power, period full stop.
Until my dying breath, everything wrong with this nation, all of the problems, discord, dissolution, dislocation violence, bloodshed and wastage of human life and human potential is directly the fault of, or has been exacerbated and made worse by orders of magnitude by the Democrat Left.
And when the problems are solved or at least well on the way to being solved well what do Democrats do, they gin up the discord or at the very least fake it.
The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that a grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for making fraudulent payments of millions of dollars to members of the Ku Klux Klan and other neo-Nazi organizations.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a news conference that the 11-count indictment filed in an Alabama federal court alleged the left-wing nonprofit had in the past decade paid at least $3 million to eight members of the far-right groups.
One leader of the 2017 Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Va., received roughly $270,000 over an eight-year period. Neither that person nor others were identified in the 14-page indictment. Another embedded in a neo-Nazi organization was paid $1 million to steal 25 boxes of the hate group’s documents . .
. . . Starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began using informants who had infiltrated various groups.
But Blanche said in the press conference that the nonprofit never informed law enforcement that it was “paying off the Klu Klux Klan” or other extremist groups.
Several of the informants were also being paid while simultaneously being featured in SPLC publications — including on its public-facing “Extremist File” webpage — as members of the hate groups.
Prosecutors alleged in the indictment that the informants, or “field sources,” were also “engaged in the active promotion of racist groups.”
So like the infamous "Charlottesville" hoax" and the alleged 1/6 "insurrection" it's all an op, a lie or a hoax or an elaborate fake. That and projection.
Have a great day!

British airlines, represented by Airlines UK, have requested government support, including tax cuts, flexibility in operational rules, and prioritization of jet fuel production to stabilize the industry.

Virginia Democrats’ legally suspect and deceptively worded referendum now gives their allies in the legislature the ability to redistrict the state ahead of the 2026 midterms. The party’s proposal seeks to remake the commonwealth from a six Democrat-five Republican map to a 10 Democrat-one Republican map and effectively disenfranchise millions of rural Virginians in the process.

Omar’s 2025 financial disclosure to Congress initially claimed a net worth of between $6 million and $30 million, figures much higher than previous disclosures. The left-wing Democrat from Minnesota filed an amended version that claimed a net worth of only $95,000 after being questioned by the Office of Congressional Compliance, the Wall Street Journal reported. Dan Geltrude, who founded Geltrude & Company in 1995, told Asman that ultimately Omar was “responsible” for what was on the form. ‘She Is Responsible’: CPA Explains Why BRO-

Not AMD's fault. They've resisted shipping CPUs with this configuration for years, claiming that it only helped performance for certain very specific workloads.
They were right.
Also, Intel's new 270K Plus is nearly as fast for creative work at less than half the price. Yes, it's on a dead platform, but even if you'll end up throwing away both the CPU and the motherboard it may work out better value than the 9950X3D2.

Up to 64GB of RAM, a 2880x1920 13" touch screen, and none of the Four Essential Keys. Sore point, because they have 20 different keyboard options including some with additional keys, but none have those four.
It's fully compatible with the existing Laptop 13's motherboard and expansion modules, but with a CNC machined aluminium chassis.

Long road trips can be uncomfortable, especially when there’s no easy place to stop for a bathroom break. To solve this problem, Chinese engineers are developing a car toilet that can be built directly into electric vehicles.
Seres, a company focused on high-end electric cars and smart technology, has received a patent for an in-vehicle toilet system. This car toilet is designed to slide out from under a passenger seat, making it easy to use during long drives, camping trips, or when staying inside the vehicle for extended periods.
The system is designed for convenience. Drivers or passengers can activate the car toilet either by pressing a button or using voice commands. When not in use, it stays hidden under the seat, saving space and keeping the interior neat.
To manage odor, the toilet includes a ventilation system with a fan and exhaust pipe that pushes smells outside the vehicle. Waste is stored in a tank that needs to be emptied manually. There is also a heating element that helps evaporate liquid waste and dry solid waste, improving cleanliness and reducing odor.
A day after San Francisco’s Alcatraz Island closed to visitors for a week of repairs at its ferry dock, National Park Service spokesperson Joshua Winchell provided more details regarding what led up to the shutdown — and why another closure is on the horizon.
The island was briefly closed on Jan. 14 so staff could inspect the pilings that secure the dock on the island. “Results from this inspection confirmed the need for repair,” he said in an email. “Additional improvements to the dock and pilings are anticipated later this year, which will necessitate another temporary closure of the island.”
Alcatraz City Cruises makes more than 3,200 ferry trips to the island annually, according to Winchell, transporting 1.5 million visitors per year.

There was a discussion on a daytime thread last week about new music. Several Hordelings were of the opinion that there is no new rock music being made. I disagree with that. There is plenty of new rock (and other genres, too), we just don't get exposed to new music the way we used to.
Here's an interesting article on the subject. It is from an Australian perspective, but its points apply globally, I would say.
In 2017, music streaming platforms, led by Spotify, became the dominant form of recorded music distribution in Australia. The shift from a purchase-based (CDs, vinyl and downloads) to an access-based (streaming) economy represented a fundamental change in the music business.
Streaming platforms, with close to unlimited repertoire, enable and encourage passive listening via playlists and algorithmic recommendation. The result is that catalogue music has become the mainstay of the recorded music industry.
The algorithmic recommendations mentioned above are where users have the power / choice as to what to be fed. If you allow the algorithm to feed you tracks related or similar to those on your playlist, you have a better chance of hearing something new (or at least new to you).
What are your thoughts, fellow music lovers?

Speaking of music. This is another interesting topic, I think.
Should you splash out on those upgraded audio cables to take your music listening pleasure up a notch? Probably not - affordable Amazon Basics RCA cables are more than good enough - confirms audio TechTuber Amir from Audio Science Review. This won’t be a surprise to regular readers. However, it is interesting to see Amir’s $7 vs $4,000 cable analysis using scientific audio equipment – as well as drawing from his personal music listening experience.
Check out the whole thing. Very thorough analysis and comparisons.

Couldn't agree with this more! The influencer culture is asshoe.

Podcast: Sefton and CBD wonder about the Chaos that Trump is creating in the minds of the Iranian junta, Virginia redistricting is pure power grab, Ilhan Omar is many things ...and stupid too! Amazon censoring conservative thought again, and the UK...put a fork in it!
The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.
Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.
Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."
So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Classic Rock Mystery Click This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker. And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
