Flotsam and Jetsam - Monday Morning Coming Down

After a flurry of activity and breathless reportage after the cops raided a house, and stopped a car, but ended up not arresting anyone, there's no real news on the Gutherie caper, and certainly no good news. We can only hope the Pima County sheriffs and FBI are withholding some for good reasons. From ET, Arizona Sheriff Denies Claims He’s Blocking FBI From Evidence in Guthrie Case. "‘When this is all done with, offer your critiques all you want, but right now we have work to do,’ Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said." 

At RedState, Bob Hoge claims It's Done: Bondi Tells Congress She's Released All the Epstein Files, No More Coming. Now all Democrats and Tom Massey can complain about are the redactions, which were mandated by the law they demanded. Of course, with 3 million pages, some redactions will have been made that needn't have been, and some redactions weren't made that should have been. The tight deadline they demanded guarantees that. News Wax notes DOJ Releases List of 'Politically Exposed Persons' in Epstein Files. Sundance at CTH, Sunday Talks: Thomas Massie Gives Update on His Epstein File Mission, whines about Pam Bondi. Karol Markowicz @karol, "Self-important jackasses destroying the lives of random people with no connection to Epstein at all." Tim O'Brien at PJM reports Reid Hoffman Funded Suit Against Trump Alleging Rape. Epstein Files Mention Him 2,658 Times. MAZE @mazemoore, "2023. Reid Hoffman explains why he funded E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Trump. Hoffman, the walking embodiment of perversion, a man who stayed at Epstein's ranch, island, and NYC home and sent Epstein gifts for "the girls," claims he funded the lawsuit to help Carroll get justice for the "torture" and sexual abuse she endured. Hoffman just wanted to help a woman stand up to a rich and powerful man. What a sick, duplicitous, evil person." Torpedos continue to circle: from the College Fix, U. Arizona cancels major conference after speakers named in Epstein files. From Tierney's Real News, Trump exonerated on Epstein.

Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "I get angry a lot when I hear Democrats lie, but I'm not sure I've ever been angrier than over the below video clip. No one in the history of the USA has purposely caused more hateful division in America than Barack Obama. For Frankfurt School Marxists, hate and division is THE necessary element of power. A true Frankfurt School disciple, Obama's singular purpose was to create hate and division along demographic lines. Racism was on life support when Obama took office. He gave it life once again, deliberately. Virtually all of the hate and division we experience in the USA today is directly attributable to Barack Obama. Other than Woodrow Wilson, Obama is the most objectively evil man ever to sit in the Oval Office. Shut up Obama. Everything you are bemoaning was created by YOU, you lying narcissistic Marxist filth."

RBe @RBPundit, "Motherfucker literally sued nuns to try to force them to pay for contraception and abortions. Fuck outta here." Quote Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen, ".@BarackObama: "When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert approaches its already-announced cancellation, the program is now posting record-low January numbers, marking one of the steepest late-night declines in recent television history. According to Nielsen data reported this week, Colbert’s show is averaging roughly 285,000 viewers in the crucial 25–54 demographic, putting it on track for its worst January performance ever in the category that advertisers actually care about. With just months left before the curtain closes for good, the ratings trajectory suggests viewers have been checking out long before CBS formally pulled the plug." From Twitchy, Bad News: The Silence of the Lambs Has Been Canceled "over the years, the characterization of Buffalo Bill (whose sexual orientation is not explicitly stated) has been viewed as gender nonconforming and identifying as trans.

There are some lines in that script and movie that are unfortunate.’" No enemies on the left.

Maryland, My Maryland

 Balmer Sun, Sheriffs vow to keep working with ICE even after Moore signs bill banning 287(g)

Even after Gov. Wes Moore signs a bill banning official agreements between local law enforcement and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement across Maryland, as he’s expected to do, many local sheriffs say they will continue to work with ICE in whatever informal, legal capacity they can. “No politician or legislative body is going to tell me that I can’t communicate with another law enforcement agency on matters of public safety in my community,” Carroll County Sheriff James T. “Jim” DeWees said. “I’m not going to stop.”

The bill banning 287(g) agreements, passed by the Maryland General Assembly Thursday, is set to take effect immediately after Moore signs it. Sheriffs in the nine jurisdictions with 287(g) agreements said they would comply with the bill and end their agreements, but emphasized they would continue to communicate and work with ICE in a legal capacity, and also explore legal challenges to the bill.

“This is all political,” said Frederick County Sheriff Charles A. “Chuck” Jenkins. “You can put any lipstick you want on it; it’s all political. The Democrats don’t want any cooperation with ICE. They don’t want any enforcement whatsoever.” Jenkins and DeWees are both Republicans; Moore is a Democrat. All three are running for reelection this year.

The 287(g) agreements give ICE authority over state and local law enforcement to perform immigration enforcement duties. Nine Maryland counties have agreements with ICE: Frederick, Allegany, Carroll, Cecil, Frederick, Garrett, St. Mary’s, Washington and Wicomico.

Cecil, Frederick and Harford operate under a “jail model,” which authorizes correctional officers to screen detainees for immigration status and contact ICE. The other six counties use the “warrant model,” under which officers cooperate with ICE only when there is an active Department of Homeland Security warrant.

The sheriffs warn that once ICE agreements are ended, an increased ICE presence in communities and street apprehensions will become the norm.

Jenkins, who said he has the longest-running 287(g) program in the country, said he expects more “criminal elements” to enter and operate in Maryland as a result of this bill’s approval. “There will be protections here for them, so I think you’re going to see an influx of criminals, people with criminal intent, maybe criminal gangs, transnational criminal gangs,” Jenkins said.

DeWees, who entered into a 287(g) agreement about a year ago, said no deputy or police officer in Carroll County “runs around and helps with immigration enforcement.” County policy prohibits it.  Once the agreement is void, he predicts “public safety chaos, like we’re seeing in Minneapolis.” “ICE is going to be up here searching for them in the community,” DeWees said.

Notable here is that the counties mentioned are all in the more rural pink areas of Maryland. I'm a bit surprised (and disappointed) that Calvert County, also pink, is not mentioned. The blue urban counties, Balmer, Monkey and PG, are all content to allow illegal aliens to commit crimes against their legal residents.  

Flotsam and Jetsam - Sunday in the Meme Mines

At Hat Hair, Steve Moore calls Dow 50,000: A Supply-Side Miracle. Roger Kimball at The Spec notes Trumponomics is working. Daniel Baldwin @baldwin_daniel_, "On days like today, I like calling back to this headline from June 2024: "Trump would make America’s inflation crisis worse, 16 Nobel economists warn" CPI is at 2.4% YoY in January as gasoline declined 7.5%. The "Nobel economists" were dead wrong." Funny that a working businessman understands the economy better than a bunch of college professors. The I&I ed board thinks the Latest Jobs Report Explains Why Dems Hate Trump So Much. "In January, the economy added 172,000 private sector jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was better than economists had expected (which seems to be a running theme in the Trump administration). And the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%. So, what’s the bad news for Democrats? The number of federal government jobs shrank by 32,000. Worse still, this is on top of a string of monthly government job losses since President Donald Trump took office."

On the Epstein files, John Sexton at Hat Hair Ro Khanna Faceplants Again. Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna, "@RepThomasMassie and I forced last night the DOJ to disclose the identities of 6 men: Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner. I share details of what more we learned to hold the Epstein class accountable." Then Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna, "I appreciate JSweetLI’s reporting confirming today that Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov, and Nicola Caputo were just part of a photo line up and are not connected to Epstein's crimes. I wish DOJ had provided that explanation earlier instead of redacting then unredacting their names. They have failed to protect survivors, created confusion for innocent men, and have protected rich and powerful abusers. We must have full transparency and the truth. Joe Chalfant at TownHall hears DOJ Officials Claim Thomas Massie Just Made an Unbelievable Error. Sundance at CTH, Thomas Massie Accuses Four Random, Innocent Men of Being Pedophiles and Sex Traffickers, Because Their Names Appeared in Epstein Files. Bonchie @bonchieredstate "On the one hand, you have four random guys who had nothing to do with Epstein. On the other hand, you have your billionaire donor, Reid Hoffman, who visited Epstein's island and ranch and was working to help him as late as 2018. Really weird that you never mention the latter." Quote Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna Replying to @RepRoKhanna, "I appreciate @JSweetLI’s reporting confirming today that Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov, and Nicola Caputo were just part of a photo line up and are not connected to Epstein's crimes."

Joe Chalfant again, GOP Secures Votes Needed to Pass the SAVE Act. "Senate Republicans have secured the needed votes to pass the SAVE Act after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) confirmed that she would sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill late Friday afternoon." Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "BREAKING: SEN. SUSAN COLLINS (R-ME) is a YEA on the SAVE America Act, a HUGE victory! We are now at 50 GUARANTEED VOTES — with JD Vance, that's enough to PASS it after a talking filibuster! Collins was previously unsure. THIS IS MASSIVE! Get it done, save the republic!" Nicki Minaj @NICKIMINAJ, "Wow. This made me so happy. Barbz, update the hashtag with #SaveAmericaAct beginning now & going forward. I’ll do a poll for you guys to choose if you’d like a new look or a new Spaces tonight." Quote Officer Lew @officer_Lew "BREAKING Alaska's Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), the 49th Senator, has just thrown his full support behind the SAVE America Act! Huge win for election integrity—proof of citizenship to register & secure our votes. Momentum is building fast!" DC_Draino @DC_Draino, "I find it fascinating that 75% of Democrat voters want Voter ID laws, but 100% of Democrat elites are against it. The elites know the entire system is rigged, but Democrat voters actually think they’re winning these elections. Going to be a rude awakening when they realize only about 35% of the country aligns with their views, not 50%."

Reuters whines US military preparing for potentially weeks-long Iran operations. Sundance hosts Secretary of State Marco Rubio's Critically Important Speech to Munich Security Conference.

Quote Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins, "BREAKING: Mark Kelly just slammed Donald Trump for blowing up the world order as we knew it. This is fire."

So "the government" is shut down again. Or rather, a rather small part of it, as Democrats will not agree to continues funding of DHS. Unfortunately, for Democrats, ICE will not be affected because it's funding was already included in the BBB. But it will affect the FEMA and TSA (another agency I'd like to see curtailed quite a bit, let the airlines bear the cost of screening. I'll bet they do it better.) A Hat Hair video, Democrats Shutdown The Government For Political Sideshow.

Stacey Matthews at LI, Alleged NYC Antisemitic Stabbing Suspect Out on Bail as Incidents Rise 182% Under Mamdani. “The most disturbing thing about this: It’s no longer a shock to read such a headline.” At least they got bail! At Shooting News Week, Virginia is What Happens When Gun Owners Lose Elections. Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre, "Gentle reminder that after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and the attempted assassination of ICE agents it was revealed that the Dem AG candidate in Virginia wanted to kill Republicans and their children The Dems continued to support him and he won the election No price was every paid and the news cycle just moved on, so the lesson is that political violence has zero cost. I 'm sure there won't be any consequences in the future for failing to punish the left." Althouse finds deep thinking, "... Clavicular said he would vote for Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat, over Vice President JD Vance because he preferred Mr. Newsom’s looks to Mr. Vance’s. " ""'It wasn’t, like, a political statement at all,' Clavicular said later of his criticism of Mr. Vance. 'I was just saying he’s fat.'"

MD Kettle at Da Fed sees Unsealed Court Docs Show The FBI Probing Possible Election Crimes In Fulton County. Democrats: "Don't do that! We stole that election fair and square." Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew, "The Bondi-led DOJ has obtained a wildly successful string of huge victories in the courts at the appellate and Supreme Court levels that have advanced the Trump Administration agenda across a broad range of issues that will be consequential for decades to come. If the Epstein hysteria was to evaporate tomorrow never to be heard about again, by far the biggest losses will be the revenue now being realized by all the online influencers who are relying on it for income." Quote reason @reason ""They've been utterly incompetent. Incompetent to the point that it almost seems like you'd have to be doing this on purpose to be this incompetent," says Massie on the DOJ's Epstein files release." Ryan Lovelace at Racket reports EXCLUSIVE: FBI Gathered Intel On 1,000 Journalists, Politicians, Religious Organizations On Flimsy Grounds 'The FBI can gather a dossier on anyone they choose.' I mean, who among us doesn't have a secret FBI dossier? It's a mark of importance!

John Sexton at Hat Hair reports Federal Agents Suspended Amid Claims They Lied to Investigators,. regarding the non-fatal shooting of a illegal alien sought by ICE in Minneapolis. “Video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements,” Mr. Lyons said. “Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation.” Not good.

Gerry Callahan @GerryCallahan, "This is perfect.

TownHall's Kurt Schlichter insists It Is Right and Proper to Laugh at the Suffering of Journalists.

""Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed," said Trump (at Truth Social). . . . Trump seems to enjoy diminishing Maher, but I suspect Maher adopted this "little me" pose to disarm Trump. Obviously, Maher was bullshitting. There's no one who has never been scared. It's a joke. He's a comedian. And so is Trump."
