However, in Russia that phrase is akin to asking a Martian for a canoe. This is the way to understand “the motherland.”" Sauron's Eye, Rep.

News Wax reports Suspect in D.C. National Guard Shooting May Survive. Good. I want a public trial followed by an execution. Althouse finds "The emails described a man who was struggling to assimilate... while he alternated between 'periods of dark isolation and reckless travel.'" ""Sometimes, he spent weeks in his 'darkened room, not speaking to anyone, not even his wife or older kids.'... But then, there were 'interim' weeks where Lakanwal would try to make amends and 'do the right things'.... 'But that has quickly evolved into "manic: episodes for one or two weeks at a time, where he will take off in the family car, and drive nonstop,' the email outlined. Once, he went to Chicago, and another time, to Arizona...." From "Suspect in National Guard attack struggled with ‘dark isolation’ as community raised concerns/Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect" (Politico)."

Twitchy finds a BRUTAL Post Explaining WHY It's Ultimately the Democrats' Fault Millions Will Be Deported and it Is GLORIOUS. Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas, "If anyone wants to know why millions of people are about to be deported allow me to explain. 1. They came here illegally or they have overstayed their visa, or certain noncitizens' legal status is about to change due to their behavior in our country, which means deportation is appropriate and legal. 2. Every attempt to deal with the issue of illegal and legal immigration resulted in the left screaming racism or xenophobia, no matter how reasonable the said approaches were. So now instead of finding any kind of common ground we're just going to do it the hard way. We don't care what you call us and we don't care how you feel about it and your boos mean nothing because we've seen what makes you cheer. Have a nice day." Quotulatiousness explains how US illegal immigration is creating a new helot class. Amuse on X looks at Aquinas, Islam, and Why Trump’s Immigration Reset Is Just. NYPo asserts Afghan terror and Somalia fraud shows why Trump is right on migrants. At Althouse, "Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as scores of individuals made small fortunes..." "... by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided.... Outrage has swelled among Minnesotans.... Gov. Tim Walz and fellow Democrats are being asked to explain how so much money was stolen on their watch.... Many Somali Americans in Minnesota say the fraud has damaged the reputation of their entire community, around 80,000 people, at a moment when their political and economic standing was on the rise.... Critics of the Walz administration say that the fraud persisted partly because state officials were fearful of alienating the Somali community in Minnesota.... The episode has raised broader questions for some residents about the sustainability of Minnesota’s Scandinavian-modeled system of robust safety net programs bankrolled by high taxes...." I'm reading "How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch/Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing political power, were largely responsible. President Trump has drawn national attention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration" (NYT). Yesterday's news, as they say, but the fun is all in the comments. From No Pasaran! "He has a smirk on his face": We will never know the true extent of illegal alien crime because Democrat states and officials are so zealous in hiding statistics on how many people are robbed, raped, and killed by illegals (Partial List of Illegal Aliens Committing Crimes and/or Treated with Kid Gloves).
