Labor Day Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Still Not Dead

I hope you're planning on having a pleasant Labor Day. No labor here, I promise, although at some point we're likely to go the beach to walk and pick up shark's teeth.

The Victory Girls are Mourning For Democrats – Trump Is Alive! From Twitchy, BAHAHA! Welcome to the Find OUT Part! --> Lefty Cries on X After Losing Job for Celebrating Trump's DEATH.

AMAC explains How Trump’s D.C. Crime Crackdown Could Help GOP in Midterms. "The real danger for Democrats, particularly looking ahead to the midterm elections next year, is that the American public now has proof of concept for what Republicans have been saying for years: that the crime, chaos, and general dysfunction in virtually every U.S. city is a choice." Sarah Arnold at TownHall, Chicago Mayor Signs Order to Shield Criminal Illegal Aliens, Undermine Federal Immigration Enforcement. Larry Elder at Hat Hair scolds the Media: Trump 'Bizarrely' Calls President 'Chief Law Enforcement Officer' -- Other Presidents Did, Too. 

Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "JUST IN: The Washington Post is SIDING with Bill Pulte, exposing Democrat Fed Governor Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud and stating that @Pulte’s documents are CONFIRMED. “Obviously, she could not live in two places at once.” It’s over. The activist judge needs to allow Cook to be fired by President Trump immediately." Quote, Savannah @BasedSavannah, "Also, Reuters has chimed in with the same. Lisa Cook is done." From Fox, Rep. Maxine Waters calls for using the 25th Amendment to find out what’s ‘wrong’ with Donald Trump, "The Democratic congresswoman argued that Trump's removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook could 'upend the entire economy.'"

At Da Blaze, It's been a year since Kennedy and Trump joined forces. Here are MAHA's top 3 wins. At Da Wire, RFK Jr Dismisses Gun Control Calls, Will Examine Psych Drugs In Mass Shooting ‘Health Crisis’ "Kennedy said HHS is investigating the mental health effects of psychiatric drugs." I think they're probably looking at it the wrong way, confusing cause and effect. Crazy people take psych drugs, and crazy people are do crazy shit. Sharyl Attkisson @SharylAttkisson, "“Kennedy's reforms aren’t being proposed to disrupt a healthy and effective system that’s served us well; quite the opposite. The context is a sick and broken establishment that demands a fresh approach.” 

From the Tampa Freep, EPA Rejects Stricter Meat And Poultry Regulations, Citing Economic Relief For Farmers. WokeSpy, Biden’s “Green New Scam” Suffers $679M Blow, California Hit Hardest. "Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced this week that the federal government has rescinded $679 million in funding previously allocated to offshore wind projects across the United States. The largest withdrawal affects California’s Humboldt Bay Offshore Wind project, where $427 million in planned funding has been cancelled." Gov. Exec. whines A fresh executive order aims to ban unions at more federal agencies. "A new edict published alongside President Trump’s proclamation celebrating Labor Day seeks to outlaw collective bargaining at more than half a dozen additional agencies under the auspices of “national security.”   . . .  Thursday’s order would ban collective bargaining at the International Trade Administration and the Patent and Trademark Office within the Commerce Department; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service and the National Weather Service; as well as NASA and the U.S. Agency for Global Media. It states that all these agencies “have as a primary function intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative or national security work.”" From ET, Trump Says He Will Issue Executive Order to Require Voter ID "The midterm elections will be held on Nov. 3, 2026." I expect 'Hawaian' judges to overturn the latter two, forcing the issue to the Supreme Court. 

NPR, Middle schoolers are lauded for protecting younger kids during church shooting. In a video Andy Ngo explores Why Are There So Many Trans Mass Shooters Now? Rod Martin, has a Sunday Essay: When Identity Becomes Idolatry - What the Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting Reveals About Our Age, "The massacre at a Catholic school in Minneapolis wasn’t just another tragedy—it was a revelation of where our culture now stands. And the Church is increasingly in the crosshairs." At Alpha News, a Minnesota doctor urges parents—and doctors—to help end so-called gender-affirming care ‘as fast as possible’ "When struggling children are told by doctors that they were born in the wrong body, "that's not only not true—it's malpractice," Dr. Jill Simons explained."

Bob Hoge at RedState, Tim Walz Has the Sads—'I Get Tired of Myself at Times.' Imagine how we feel.

At CTH, Sundance has Trump on DNI Gabbard: “By the way, she’s coming along, right?”, Senator Eric Schmitt Discusses “Russiagate” and COVID-19 Weaponization, and Someone Killed Andriy Parubiy – Victoria Nuland’s Former Point of Contact During 2014 Ukraine Maidan Revolution. "Andriy Parubiy knew a lot about western intelligence operations in Ukraine. Andriy Parubiy is dead now. Volodymyr Zelenskyy knows a lot about western intelligence operations in Ukraine." Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays "There's a lot of worry in his voice. And it isn't about democracy." Quote, Western Lensman @WesternLensman, "The man who politicized the CIA to frame Donald Trump is back on MSNBC lamenting that the CIA has been politicized by Donald Trump." James Clapper. Reagan Reese at Da Caller says Trump Has No Problem Seeing Comey, Brennan Behind Bars For Russiagate Hoax. Throw Clapper in there too. Make room if necessary. News Wax's Larry Bell opines John Bolton Investigation: Retribution or Justice? Embrace the healing power of 'and.'

MAZE@mazemoore "In 2019 Erin Burnett wanted to make sure that there was no way for Paul Manafort to escape the seriousness of the mortgage fraud charges. In 2025 it's mortgage fraud, really? This is CNN." So, in addition to mortgage fraud, LifeZette reports Letitia James Reportedly Caught Harboring Fugitive in Her ‘Primary Residence’ "The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction has issued an alert for fugitive Nikia Monique Thompson, the niece of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s family. . . Questions have surfaced about whether Thompson is hiding at a property tied to Attorney General James in Norfolk, Virginia." Jack @jackunheard "BREAKING: Letitia James is COOKED. President Trump just posted this accusing her of harboring a fugitive."

Althouse is amused,"The submarine sandwich’s... phallic yet floppy nature can also be seen in this context as a mocking reflection of the administration’s strutting, performative, hollow machismo...."

"'He thought it was funny. Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today,' declared Ms. Pirro, playing the nation’s sputtering high school vice principal sick of all these disrespectful kids, in a video announcing that Mr. Dunn would be charged with felony assault.... Attorney General Pam Bondi... condemned him as 'an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months.' That seems like a lot of firepower brought to bear on a single sandwich-throwing paralegal...."

Writes Bruce Handy, author of "Hollywood High: A Totally Epic, Way Opinionated History of Teen Movies," in "I’ll Have My Resistance on a Roll. Hold the Mayo" (NYT).

As you may have noticed, the prosecutor failed to get an indictment, disproving at long last "that grand juries aren’t in fact willing to indict ham sandwiches."

As my son pointed out, all they have to do is bury him with misdemeanor charges, which don't go to a grand jury. Sure, the DC jury let's him off eventually, but the process is the punishment. 

At Hat Hair, Dave Strom is astonished: Guess What? NYT Says Mamdani Is Not a Socialist!, even though he proudly calls himself a democratic socialist and Betsey McCaughey thinks (hopes?) Mamdani Could Lose Even in Crowded Field.

PJM's Cathy Salgado says Guess What DOGE Found Your Money Is Funding Now! "DOGE normally releases a contracts update on X on Fridays highlighting some of the stupidest agency contracts that it has discovered in the last week, and this past week‘s was a doozy: “Over the last 5 days, agencies terminated 50 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $2.9B and savings of $762M, including a $2.4M DoD contract for ‘transgender health medical evaluation unit services’, a $128.5k DoD contract for ‘LGBTQ magazine advertising campaign’, and a $48.7M USAID contract for ‘the Belarus Regional Initiative to provide transition activities in Belarus and other countries in Europe’.”"

Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain "Think about this for a second The CDC is utterly useless if it is not seen as credible by the majority of the country, and yet they employed a guy with massive satanic tattoos who wore bondage gear during a photo shoot as their point person on immunization."
