Flotsam and Jetsam - Michigan Man Dies Trying to Bushwhack Border Patrol in Texas

Stacy McCain, Terrorism in Texas: Michigan Maniac Opens Fire on Border Facility in McAllen "As of 6 p.m. ET Monday, we know nothing about the shooter’s background or motive, but we all probably have our hunches . . . So when you take into consideration the expense of traveling 1,700 miles cross country, plus renting a hotel room for several nights, add in the cost of a rifle and ammunition, etc., this terrorist attack required a lot of resources. Where did Mosqueda get all that money? Did he have accomplices? Was he affiliated with any groups? Had he previously been involved in protests? Or was he just a “lone wolf” lunatic, radicalized in online forums? The mainstream media don’t seem to be very curious about any of this, for some reason. It’s just so mysterious . . ." Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ "BREAKING: Three federal & TX law enforcement sources tell me an active shooter with a rifle & tactical gear ambushed Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, TX this morning. Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing him. I’m told this was a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents and a press conference is planned for later this morning. No federal agents injured. Im told a McAllen police officer may have been shot, but is in stable condition." Paula Bolyard at PJM, Border Patrol Agents Ambushed at McAllen, Texas, ICE Detention Center. Da Caller, Active Shooter Ambushes Border Patrol Agents. Cam at Bearing Arms, Michigan Man Shot and Killed After Opening Fire at Texas Border Patrol Facility.

John Sexton hears some Democrats: Maybe We Went Too Far Left on Immigration. Ya think? At the College Fix, a Harvard professor claims ICE expansion is Trump’s ‘devilishly clever’ way of creating autocracy. Rusty Weiss at RedState thinks What Liberal Voters Are Demanding Democrats Do to Stop ICE Is Insane: ‘Not Just Unreal, but Dangerous’ "Axios on Monday published an astonishing report citing numerous Democrat members of Congress who say their voters want to see representatives literally willing to take a bullet to "protect our democracy."" I'm for it! Cabot Phillips @cabot_phillips "The desire to preserve one's culture and homeland is only xenophobic when white people are the ones expressing it." Quote DW News @dwnews ""Gringos, stop stealing our homes." Tourists were shouted at and store windows smashed during a protest against gentrification in Mexico City, where an influx of Americans and other "digital nomads" is driving up rents and pushing out locals." Sister Toldja at RedState, Federal Agents Respond Accordingly (and Massively) After Karen Bass Demands Immigration Sweeps Cease: Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ "NEW: I just spoke to Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino @USBPChiefELC, who was the official on the phone with LA Mayor Karen Bass at MacArthur Park today. I asked him for his message to her, as she demands raids end? “I don’t work for Karen Bass. Better get used to us now, cause this is going to be normal very soon. We will go anywhere, anytime we want in Los Angeles.” Matt Vespa hears Charlie Kirk Got an Interesting Call Before Trump Signed the Reconciliation Package. It Wasn't Good. The usual crowd pushing for amnesty. Gotta keep those wages down, don't you know!

The death toll in the Texas flood has now climbed to 100+. Democrats and the media, (but I redund) wasted no time in blaming Trump and DOGE. At CNN, US Coast Guard rescue swimmer hailed as a hero after saving 165 kids from Texas flooding. VodkaPundit at PJM, Guess Who Lied About Trump's NWS Budget Cuts..., Grok. Of course, it just skims its data from "the media." From Reason, The Texas Floods Were a Natural Disaster, Not a Policy Disaster. "There's no evidence that cuts to the National Weather Service impacted the response to the weekend's tragic flash floods." It's inherently difficult to predict 15 inches of rain from thunderstorms in a limited area much ahead of time. Dave Strom at Hat Hair, What They Needed Was Sirens in Texas. Tyler O'Neil at Da Signal, Climate Expert Slams Democrats for Trying to ‘Exploit the Tragedy’ of Camp Mystic Flooding. Bo Snerdley @BoSnerdley "Perhaps it is time to ring the lawyers again. Perhaps ABC News needs a refresher course." Quote Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump, "George Stephanopoulos: “We’re also learning there were significant staffing shortfalls to the National Weather Services offices in the region.”" VodkaPundit at Insty, YOU CAN’T MAKE AN OMELET WITHOUT PARADING OVER THE BODIES OF A FEW DOZEN DEAD CHILDREN: End Wokeness @EndWokeness "Whoops… there goes the narrative." AP admits extra staffing at Austin office to cover the weather event. Warnings went out, and were not received or heeded. MAZE @mazemoore "This is CNN. This is Dana Bash. Two weeks after the NC flood, after it became painfully clear that the federal response was inadequate, Dana Bash was viciously defending the Biden/Harris Admin and warning about the dangers of politicizing a storm response. It's only two days after the Texas flood and Dana Bash is already trying to blame Trump for the disaster. This is CNN." George MF Washington @GMFWashington "Social media is a poison, no different than drugs or booze. Some people can handle it, but almost no one can handle it as well as they think they can." Quote Raylan Givens@JewishWarrior13, "NYP: Pediatrician fired for vile post politicizing devastating Texas floods: May Trump supporters get ‘what they voted for’" From Twitchy, Massive Loser Troll Account Comes Face-to-Face with KARMA on His FILTHY Post About Girls Lost in TX Flood

From his NYPo gig, Insty says Take a political time-out, Elon Musk: ‘America Party’ rant proves even your genius has its limits. From NewsMax, Musk Should Stay Out of Politics, US Treasury Secretary Bessent Says. From Twitchy, Ron DeSantis Has a Suggestion for Elon Musk That Could Have a MONUMENTAL Impact. Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, " BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calls on Elon Musk to put his resources toward a BALANCED BUDGET and TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS amendment, says that would be FAR more successful than a new political party. "You need to do a BALANCED BUDGET amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and you can do that through the states. You can do it through Article 5. We've got 28 states that have approved this! There's another four or five that are on the docket. Once you hit 34, then you write an amendment and then the states are able to ratify that." "If @ElonMusk wanted to weigh in on that and work on those state legislatures, he would have a MONUMENTAL impact doing this." "And we also need term limits for members of Congress. So you can do both of those things." PJM's Stephen Kruiser says Mars Will Have a Tesla Dealership Before Musk Has a Viable Third Party.

Matt Vespa at TownHall notices Top Trump Officials Smacked Down All the Anti-Reconciliation Nonsense on the Sunday Talk Shows. From NewsMax, Speaker Johnson: Expect 2 More Reconciliation Bills This Congress. Buck Throckmorton at Ace's is joyous that The Big Beautiful Bill Has Just Kneecapped Green Energy and the “EV Transition.” You can have all the green energy you want, but you'll have to pay for it yourself. From Reuters, Eyeing Arctic dominance, Trump bill earmarks $8.6 billion for US Coast Guard icebreakers.

Dave Manney at PJM says Trump’s 'Take It or Leave It' Tariff Blitz Is Bigger Than Monday. At Automotive News Europe, EU-U.S. trade talks focus on tariff offset for automakers. The Peacock whines Trump threatens extra 10% tariff on countries that align with ‘Anti-American’ BRICS policies. From sundance at CTH, President Trump Posts International Tariff Announcement Letters on Truth Social, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Explains MAGA Policy Intent on Growing U.S Economy to Deal with Debt Crisis and White House Trade and Manufacturing Economy Advisor Peter Navarro Discusses the Misalignment With Fed Chair Powell.

At NewsMax, NATO Head predicts WWIII Will Begin With Joint Attacks by China and Russia. “There’s an increasing realization, and let’s not be naïve about this: If (Chinese leader) Xi Jinping would attack Taiwan, he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, (Russian President) Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, residing in Moscow, and telling him, Hey, I’m going to do this, and I need you to to keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territory.”

Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, And the 2024 Award For Worst Political Memo Goes To .... Matt Margolis at PJM, Does This Bombshell Memo Prove That Biden’s Campaign Sabotaged Him? Ace, Revealed: The Six-Page Memo That Conned Biden Into Debating Trump Early (So That the Democrat Party Could Force Him Out). At Althouse, "Former President Joe Biden’s advisers convinced the aging commander in chief to hold an early summer debate with Donald Trump last year by insisting it would allow him to reach the “widest audience possible'..." "I don't for one minute believe the advisers believed the assertions in the memo. I will be presuming that they could see he was going to be incapable of appearing competent and that they needed to push him to release his hold on the nomination, and they only wanted to do that once the primaries were over and it was too late to do anything but advance Kamala Harris. So they conned him into humiliating himself in the debate and giving the media the basis for declaring him unfit — as if they just noticed — and demanding that he withdraw. The advisers were not mistaken. They knew what they were doing. They were lying. And they were devious. Let me restate that. THEY knew what THEY were doing. THEY were lying. And THEY were devious." Bob Spencer at PJM, Here’s Kamala Harris’s Snarling Response to Inquiries About Old Joe Biden’s Condition, “this is about saving our f**king democracy.”

From NewsMax, Jewish Group Slams Mamdani for Ridiculing Hanukkah. "Mamdani shared a video on his X account last year from the Geeta Brothers Duet Group, which showed two men wearing wigs dancing behind a menorah, spinning dreidels, and celebrating with Punjabi-style music." Dancing in "jewface." John Lucas at Bravo Blue, Zohran Mamdani — An Analysis of His Video Propaganda Piece Shows That His Core Beliefs Are Communist Dogma, ‘Profits? You don’t need no stinkin’ profits.’ Driscoll at Insty, HOW IT STARTED:" “PolitiFact” declares Zohran Mamdani is not a communist in fact-check of Trump. —David Rutz, Fox News, June 30th. How it’s going:" At Hat Hair Beege Welborn, sees Everyone All Hot and Bothered About the Jihadi Running for Mayor in NYC and Capt. Ed, Behold the Power of Independent Media: NYT Rushed Mamdani Scoop to Beat Rufo. Ace laughs at the news LOL: Zohran Mamdani Claimed He Was Black on His Columbia University Application, "Someone hacked Columbia's computers to prove they were still using illegal racial discrimination practices in admissions. We don't know if they found evidence of that yet, but what they did find is that the pro-Hamas jihadi communist New Democrat Zohran Mamdani claimed in his Columbia application package that he was "Asian" and... "black."" Robby Soave at Reason, Colleges Created a Diversity Box-Ticking Game—Zohran Mamdani Just Played It. "The big problem here is the elite racism of college admissions departments, not the mayoral candidate's creative box-checking." Althouse, "Race in America is often presented in two buckets: White and non-White. This is an update to the buckets..." ""... that existed for much of American history — White and Black — reflecting how the end of immigration restrictions in the 1960s allowed more Asian and Hispanic and Middle Eastern and you-name-it people to come to the U.S. But there are still two buckets, buckets into which people with mixed racial backgrounds jump (or are dropped) depending on circumstance." Explains Philip Bump, in "The useful political lesson from Zohran Mamdani’s college application/America’s understanding of race and ethnicity is still woefully simplistic" (WaPo)." Derek Hunter at Front Page, says Help New York City Kill Itself "A big dose of their own medicine is exactly what the doctor ordered." At NYPo, Why the future of NY under a ‘Mayor Mamdani’ has already arrived. From RCP, Could Dems Be Opening the Door for GOP in California’s Most Progressive Cities?

VodkaPundit at Insty, THE TRUTH HURTS, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS GETTING SHOT BY A BERNIE BRO <-

Hat Hair's John Sexton outraged that a Federal Judge Blocks BBB from Cutting Off Planned Parenthood's Funding. Bonchie at RedState, New: Judge Stops Congress From Defunding Planned Parenthood, Outrage and Confusion Follow. This is not a judge enjoining an executive order, this is a judge reversing an act of Congress, for apparently no reason other than she thinks PP needs money.

Capt. Ed has a FBI Surprise: Epstein Took His 'Client List' With Him. Sundance is blistering, Karoline Leavitt Announces DOJ/FBI Memo Authentic – “No Clients” for Jeffrey Epstein Sex Trafficking and Exhaustive FBI Investigation Says Jeffrey Epstein Acted Alone, 1,000+ Victims But No Clients, and No Sexploitation Purpose Apart from Self Gratification. Needless to say, there is some skepticism on the right. Connor Boyack @cboyack "Feb 21, 2025: Bondi says Epstein files are on her desk, under review per Trump’s directive. Feb 26: Announces files, including flight logs and names, to be released Feb 27, cites victim privacy for delays. Feb 27: Releases "Phase 1" files (200+ pages, mostly public), hands binders to influencers, accuses FBI of withholding thousands of documents. Feb 28: Demands FBI deliver all Epstein files by 8 AM, orders probe into withheld documents. Mar 2: Claims FBI misled her, says she now has thousands of pages under review, official who withheld docs fired. Mar 14: Says she received a “truckload” of unreleased documents, no release timeline given. Apr 28: Covertly recorded saying FBI reviews “tens of thousands” of Epstein videos with children. May 7: Publicly states FBI is reviewing “tens of thousands” of videos, denies files are missing, cites victim protection. And now Jul 6: Nothing to see here, no victims, no client list…"

Miranda Devine@mirandadevine "Fox hit is up! @SundayFutures with @jasoninthehouse this morning talking about how Brennan Comey and Clapper have been exposed as corrupt political hacks in a new official report by CIA career professionals. The new evidence reveals that at least one of them has opened himself up to perjury allegations." Quote Karli Bonne @KarluskaP, "When are we going to see people held accountable!!! @mirandadevine reports." Ace reports Trump May Prosecute Disgraced Ex-Communist CIA Head John Brennan for Perjury, "Matt Taibbi on the central role John Brennan played in legitimizing Hillary Clinton's completely fake oppo research "dossier" into a product of official US intelligence:" At the Free Bacon, Comey Don't Play That: Former FBI Goon Writes Crime Novel About Saving the World from MAGA 'Mouth Breathers'.

VodkaPundit at Insty, MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE: Harmeet Dhillon: Civil rights being rebuilt after ‘cultural shift’ under Trump. "The Justice Department‘s Civil Rights Division is undergoing a complete internal transformation under President Donald Trump’s second term — not just of enforcement strategy but of personnel, institutional practices, and long-held assumptions about how federal civil rights laws should be applied. “When my memos went out, that culture changed,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, head of the division, told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview. “There’s literally been lawyers there who spent their entire careers — over 40 years — doing the same thing, no matter who the president is.”" . . . Say what you will about the corrupt old patronage system, but at least it cleaned house every four or eight years." The Business Insider whines Some federal lawyers want to leave. They can't find jobs because Trump's policies are closing typical exit paths.



Ace laughs as CBS "News" Fears Mass Layoffs Under New Skydance Ownership "Won't someone think of the journalists!" At Fox, Karol Markowicz hears Trump cuts millions in taxpayer funding for pushing COVID ‘cover-up’ "Springer Nature faced criticism for thousands of retractions and allegedly censoring content to appease Chinese government."
