Flotsam and Jetsam - UFC 250 Trumps Magnificent Troll

Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles, "The President paid to get the epic flyover UFC photo, and it was well worth whatever it cost. But stop to consider that he got this picture for free." Sasha Stone maintains Trump's UFC 250 is the Greatest Troll in American History. Althouse notices Among the celebrities at the UFC Freedom 250 festivities: The Holy Uncle. Thomas Hern @ThomasMHern, "Vice President JD Vance hanging out with Pope Leo’s brother, the Holy Uncle, at the UFC Freedom 250 Fight Night at the White House. This is the greatest timeline in human history." The Victory Girls see America 250 Brought The Blue Angels. The Resistance Brought The Blues. Including Robert DeNiro who says he can't love America while Trump is president. A Driscolly post at Insty, USA! USA! USA! Logan Hall @loganclarkhall, "Libtards have boxed themselves into a position where they are forced to countersignal pro-American kino like this and it’s a complete disaster for them." Matt Whitlock @MattWhitlock, "Every anti-Trump counter-programming effort always looks like a talent show at a senior center - but with a little bit less energy." Quote Western Lensman @WesternLensman, "Libs are counter-programming the UFC event at the White House. With this." Insty says HE’S NOT WRONG: David Burge @iowahawkblog, "I'm not a fan of MMA on the White House lawn. But if this is the alternative, fuck it, let's have MMA, WWE and Monster Trucks in the Rose Garden every Tuesday." Quote TheFOO @PolitiBunny, "Who exactly do they think is getting ‘left behind’? This is so confusing and sad. lol" David Burge @iowahawkblog, "I think we've failed as a society to fully educate our Theater Kids how fucking tired we are of their bullshit." Ace, sees Bitter Old Has-Beens Stage Counter-Event to WH UFC Show, "The left is very angry that Trump "desecrated" the White House by staging a sporting event there. They say the White House lawn is sacred, and only for wholesome events like lurid transgender perverts exposing their fake breasts to children. Yes, that happened under Biden. #pRiDe."

Sundance at CTH observes President Trump Attends G7 Summit in France – This One Will Be Ridiculous. Althouse finds "Greenland is the largest island in the world, but it has fewer than fifty-seven thousand residents, who are mostly scattered..." ""... among settlements and towns along its western coast. Although it belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, it lies to the west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and is part of North America. The latest articulation of the U.S.’s National Security Strategy, published in November, frames Trump’s imperial ambitions as an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, the assertion by President James Monroe, in 1823, that any attempt by European powers to further colonize the Americas would be treated as 'dangerous to our peace and safety.' Under Trump’s leadership, the N.S.S. says, “we will deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability to position forces or other threatening capabilities, or to own or control strategically vital assets, in our Hemisphere.'" Writes Ben Taub, in "Inside the Ludicrous, Deadly Serious Plan to Take Over Greenland/'We want Greenland,' Trump said. Four men sprang into action to make fantasy a reality" (The New Yorker)."

At Althouse, A woman dies and this is how she is remembered? For her "burning hatred for Trump"?Variety, ‘ALF’ Star Anne Schedeen Dies at 77; Family Remembers Her ‘Burning Hatred for Trump’ "Now, this is just very sad. Imagine dying and that's the headline — how you burned with hate. Thanks, family. Thanks for remembering the hate." At People Ian McKellen Says He Imagined Destroying Mar-a-Lago While Filming an Explosive Scene for Avengers: Doomsday. He is an archvillain after all. unseen1 @unseen1_unseen, "Doomers must have mental whiplash at this point. 1. China kicked out of Panama 2. Venezuela secured and friendly without a war. 3. EU and Canada whimpering like babies 4. No Russian tanks rolling across Germany or the rest of Europe. 5. No ww3 6. China in a major deflationary event 7.... 32. ICE and border patrol fully funded for the rest of Trumps term. 33. Stock markets at record highs. 34. Do I need to go on? There are about 100 more domestic policy issues I could list... And it hasn't even been 2 years." Dan Kervick @DanMKervick, "We’ve lost Venezuela. We might lose Cuba. The condition of Palestine is desperate. Global climate action is dead. Technofascists are running everything. The US “left” is Magafied populist trash in possession of zero brain power." Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck, "There’s a personality I distrust most and it’s the people who say it wouldn’t have mattered if Kamala won instead of Trump or that it was preferable for her to win so we could accelerate toward what’s inevitable. We’ve achieved cultural and political victories unlike any time in my life. If you can’t see that then you don’t belong near politics. Could he have done more? Sure but he’s also fighting an often terrible Congress. Not enviable..."

At Ace, Mitch McConnell Hospitalized Again With "Undisclosed" Condition, "These people just will not retire. Their egos are too big and their bank accounts are not yet big enough." There's an awful lot to dislike about Mitch, but I'll always keep in mind he kept Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court.

Author Carlo Carrasco asks What Does Trump’s Deal With Iran Mean For Israel? and I think he really intends it as an open question. YNet, IDF says it killed Hezbollah commander tied to 2007 murder of US soldiers.

The Victory Girls see The Left’s Greed And Envy Is On Full Display. At PJM, Stephen Kruiser notes Sane People Aren't Triggered by Elon Musk's Wealth, Tim O'Brien looks at Elon Musk and the Politics of Envy and VodkaPundit hears dems beg Will No One Rid Me of This Turbulent Musk? and at Insty, THE LEFT WANTS HIM DEAD, AND THEY AREN’T SHY ABOUT TELLING EVERY TRIGGER-ABLE NUTCASE OUT THERE: and THIS MAN IS A MONSTER! Elon Musk @elonmusk, "Starlink connecting schools on remote islands!" Quote Starlink @Starlink "Starlink is providing high-speed internet to a community tech center in Île-à-Vache, a remote island off the coast of Haiti, connecting hundreds of students and teachers to reliable connectivity for the first time." Don Surber preaches Musk beware, "$612 billion can become $3,000 very quickly." Which would leave him with a mere $400 billion. Adeo Ressi @adeoressi, "My quote from the New York Times today: Adeo Ressi, Mr. Musk’s college roommate at the University of Pennsylvania, said the SpaceX chief never cared as much about financial gain as obtaining resources to help him achieve his entrepreneurial goals. For Mr. Musk, “money is a means to an end,” Mr. Ressi said, comparing his friend’s mind-set to a gamer accumulating coins in a video game to beat a level. “He’s amassing resources to do things, and the thing he wants to do most is colonize Mars,” Mr. Ressi said. “That’s a really big driving force behind his wealth accumulation.”...“It’s not like he’s planning to leave this in a massive family trust,” Mr. Ressi said. “It’s literally going to be used to make humanity into a multiplanetary species.”" Da Daily Economist looks at The Long Tradition of Wealth-Extracting Socialists.

Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt. "When I said this throughout my campaign, CNN people called me cruel and unhinged. Now, after they helped secure the election for the 2 dorks responsible for all these problems, CNN is now echoing my campaign talking points as gospel. Fascinating! OSZ @OpenSourceZone, "CNN: Dem Lead Much Smaller Than Previous Blue Waves Generic Congressional Ballot June Polls: 2006: Dem +11 2018: Dem +10 2026: Dem +5 Democrats Lead is also shrinking: NBC: Dem +6 -> Dem +5 MU Law: Dem +4 -> Dem +1 Ipsos: Dem +3 -> Dem +3" Sarah at Insty, I ALWAYS WONDER HOW MUCH OF THESE “TIGHT RACES” IS FRAUD: Socialist in Tight House Race Showered Convicted Palestinian Terrorist With Love and Praise, Taunted Jewish Student Who Objected to Her Disruptive, Anti-Israel Agitating.

Dmitri Bolt at TownHall, Gavin Newsom Announced He's Being Investigated by the DOJ. Here's What We've Learned. At Ace, Gavin Newsom: Trump Is Investigating Me and My Wife Because He's Corrupt and Not Because I Shovel Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars of Taxpayer's Money to My Wife For Her "Businesses" "A refresher on the corrupt Ultra-Karen Jennifer Siebel Newsom ..." Leslie Eastman at LI reports HUD Suspends Federal Homeless Funding to Los Angeles in Wake of Fraud Allegations. "Los Angeles officials are dismissing the move as political theater. However, the missing tens of millions, unverifiable housing sites, and documented conflicts of interest are not partisan talking points; they are governance failures with real human consequences."

Nick Ballasy at JTN reports the Biden DOJ targeted parents at school board meetings despite FBI, sheriffs' objections, memos show "AFL said it acquired the documents as part of its ongoing lawsuit related to former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s October 4, 2021 memorandum that targeted concerned parents at school board meetings during the COVID pandemic." Ace, Despite Merrick Garland's Assurances, DOJ Officials and the National Sheriffs' Association Objected to His Targeting of Christian Conservative Parents "If they do this, they might as well rename the damn thing the Anti-MAGA Task Force," an official wrote." From Fox, Gabbard says declassified biolab records validate concerns previously dismissed as misinformation. "Records show more than 40 Ukrainian labs housed Soviet-era pathogen collections and received US biocontainment training." DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican, "THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012. No, this is not a joke..."

Hat Hair's John Sexton reports an ICE Agent Opens Fire After Being Struck by Fleeing Vehicle (Update). "The NY Post has more information on the suspect. An illegal migrant from Peru rammed his van into an ICE agent during a “targeted vehicle stop” in New Jersey on Monday, prompting the officer to open fire on the fleeing suspect, authorities said. The chaos unfolded as immigration officers tried to pull over and arrest Freidrich Castillo-Ormeno, who was released in the US under the Biden administration, around 9:30 a.m. in Manahawkin, according to ICE."

Salon with an instant classic.

The Victory Girls notice Salon Can’t Help But To Hit JD Vance "Well, according to Marcotte, Vance credits Erika Kirk, who is “even more hated” than her deceased husband. Way to champion women here, Mandy. Trash a widow. Classy." Duke at RedState enjoys how the ‘No Kings’ Crowd Gets Wrecked by One Brutally Honest Media Column "By invoking the language of America's founding, the No Kings movement cheapens what that struggle actually meant. America was born from years of real tyranny, paid for in blood by people who had none of these freedoms."  

Sundance at CTH is outraged when the U.K Media Discover British Version of DOJ-CRS called “Research, Information and Communications Unit” (RICU) and Embattled British Prime Minister Announces Social Media Information Control System to Protect “Children” Ace reads the Daily Mail: A Former "Counter-Terrorism" Propagagnda Unit Headed by an MI-6 Spy Has Been Redirected to Run Nonstop Psyops Against the British Public to Convince Them to Accept Terrorism and Third-World Hyperviolence as Normal and Perfectly British, "I think we already knew this, but social media is blowing up about it, so maybe we didn't. Or maybe it was alleged but now we have more information." TCW observes Child protection is an excuse for the super-surveillance of everyone. At the Spec, Will Keir Starmer’s under-16 social media ban actually work? Colin Wright @SwipeWright, "If this turns out to be the case, it will be a brazenly political decision that's inexcusable. No social media app glorifies hate and violence more than Bluesky. Just last week, the large and influential user Ken White called for Elon's assassination. The post is still up!" Tommy Robinson @TRobinsonNewEra, "I've just heard 3 people who were reporting on riots in Northern Ireland using their YouTube accounts have been arrested. They were not involved in any rioting, they are not involved in any criminal activity. They are looking to do anther Southport to clamp down on free speech." John Carter @martianwyrdlord, "You can have whatever opinion you want on economics and still be on the left, but if you say "young white girls shouldn't be raped and murdered by foreign men", you will be expelled from the left. Therefore young white girls getting raped and murdered by foreign men is what the left is." Quote Jen @JENpatriotic, "Lefties in Brighton Chanting "Rhiannon Whyte deserved it" right to Rhiannon's mothers face When Siobhan raised the issue with the police, they SHOVED her down onto the floor!" At Spiked! Labour: enemies of the people. "The party that swam against the populist tide is now being swept away by it."

John Sexton reports a Russian Diplomat Paid for Arson Attack Against Keir Starmer. "Lyukshin allegedly set up a fake far-right group called Direct Action which was completely fabricated." I think that's pretty much an act of war. Ace puts it together Ukranian Rent-Boys Who Set Fire to Keir Starmer's Property Were... Paid by Russian Diplomat In Effort to Fake Up a "Far Right" Plot Against Him. "So Keir Stermer wasn't a social acquaintance of the rent boys. No, it was a Russian op designed to stir up trouble, arranged by a paymaster calling himself "EL" or "EL Money." I'm guessing Keir Starmer's government gladly accepted the hoax as a reason to target the "far right.""

Insty, YOU WILL BE MADE TO CARE: On Pride Night, some Giants add reference to Bible verse to hat. "On Pride Night at Oracle Park, with the San Francisco Giants wearing special edition hats to represent the LGBTQ+ community, multiple players wrote Bible verses next to the team’s rainbow logo, while one chose to forgo wearing the cap entirely. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp and reliever JT Brubaker wrote the Bible verse Genesis 9:12-16 on the caps they wore Friday night, the same passage that has been displayed by other players on their Pride Night hats during games.Read more: Giants’ Sam Hentges on decision to not wear Pride Night hat: ‘I don’t morally support it’ “Kind of what the verse says, the rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant to us and us as believers stand firm in that,” Roupp said..."
