Flotsam and Jetsam - Suddenly Monday

Tedford Tyler at Am Con thinks this week's visit show Trump Has Learned How to Deal With China. "The president’s engagement with Xi is delivering results." We'll see. At Hat Hair, Josh Hammer notes  Trump's Greenland Agreement Is the 'Art of the Deal' in Action. Ask for the moon and stars, and settle for just the moon.

Polymarket @Polymarket, "JUST IN: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent declares the U.S. economy has entered “the acceleration phase.”" From the Chronic, Republicans Cannot Blame Any Midterm Losses on Trump’s Economy. Except for gas prices, things are going great, which is why the Democrats and media (but I redund) keep talking about gas prices. Shawn Farash @Shawn_Farash, "Good morning X! Did you know: Of the top 5 states with the most expensive gas, only one has a Republican governor? (Nevada) Of the bottom five states with the cheapest gas, all are GOP-led states. On rent: The top five states with the most expensive rent prices are ALL democrat-run states. The bottom five are all GOP-run states. If your motivating factor this election is affordability, then democrats are not a good choice."  Breitbart Bus Dig is Raising ‘a Fuss and a Holler’ About the Labor Market, "Young American men had a hot, hot, hot summer in the labor market—as long as you count working as a hot summer." Ben Smith at LI, Trump Cancels $810M for Illegal Immigrants, Race-Based Programs. "Trump spending cuts target $810 million for illegal immigrant services, race-focused programs and other federal spending." 

TMZ @TMZ, "Nicki Minaj is jumping into the upcoming midterm elections, insisting that all young voters must do one thing -- vote Republican."Don Surber on Midterms diplomacy, "Iran is waiting for Democrats to take back Congress." And Democrats are encouraging them. The inimitable Kurt Schlichter at TownHall says We Are So Tired of the Loudmouth Quitters, and names a few. "Every election cycle we hear the same stupid spiel from a certain band of pseudo-conservative quitters: “Oh no, I’m not getting my way. I’ve got no reason to vote. I’m not going to vote. The Republicans aren’t conservative enough, so I’m just going to let the communist pervert Democrats win. Waa, waa, waa.”" Roger Kimball at Am Great examines the many Varieties of Trump Derangement Syndrome, "The effort to normalize various pathologies seems to be, as we have been taught to say, trending." The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub, "I was there. Overwhelming applause and cheers. This is dumb, even for People magazine."

Bob Graboyes at Bastiat's Window, discourses on  AI, Internet, and Rapid Advances in the Technology of Fraud. "AI and global connectivity have made the production, refinement, and dissemination of fraudulent information far easier than could have imagined a generation or two ago." The answer to most of AI's potential downfalls is to task AI with preventing them. At Common Place, Oren Cass explains How to Worry About AI, "Lessons from climate catastrophism for the cataclysm du jour,"

Kyle Becker at RedState hears AOC Gets Brutal News As She Test-Runs Senate Bid: She Is 'Rejected'. If she's too radical for New York State, she's not going to become preznit. At Althouse, Fetterman knows how to play viral media. I say he did this — deadpan — on purpose. "Well played, Senator!" That stroke clearly killed something in the left side of his brain. Tom Knighton at BA asks and answers What Did Newsom Do on Gun Bills? Now We Know. 

From Law and Liberty, The Slippery Constitutionality of Open Primaries. If Republicans want to get rid of them, they need to abuse them to the disadvantage of the Democrats.

PJM's Bob Spencer notices The Latest Attempt to Impeach Trump Criminalizes Not Being a Leftist. "Prof. Jonathan Turley remarked drily that Cohen “appears to believe that the problem with past impeachments has been brevity. His 26 articles of impeachment include everything short of ripping a label off a mattress, including the new impeachable offense of ‘self-aggrandizement.’” 

From Twitchy, Trump Intervenes After Overnight ICE Order Sparks Base Revolt: ‘No One Is Off the Table’ "Last night, panic spread across social media as reporters claimed the Trump Administration had decided to only arrest illegals who had criminal charges pending or convictions. That was a big change from 'anyone here illegally needs to go home'." Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_, "I’ve spoken on the phone with President Trump and nine ICE & DHS sources about this today. Here’s what I’ve learned. Yes, this verbal guidance did go out to ICE offices across the country last night. I’ve spoken with ICE agents who received it & were shocked & frustrated by it. It’s unclear who it started with. However, I’m told it’s erroneous, was some type of “miscommunication” during conversations about prioritizing “worst first”, and there is no change in immigration enforcement policy. President Trump tells me anyone in the country illegally remains “on the table” for ICE arrest & deportation. I’m also told new guidance went out to ICE field offices tonight to reaffirm this and that yes, arrests of illegal aliens and “collaterals” without additional criminal history will continue. ICE sources confirm to me they received the new guidance. I’m not really sure what happened here - but everyone is on the same page, including President Trump, in telling me that his immigration enforcement agenda isn’t scaling back." Quote Jennie Taer @JennieSTaer "SCOOP: ICE officers across the country were told this weekend to stop arresting non-criminals, agency sources tell @realDailyWire Now, ICE may only arrest illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges for the time being, said the sources." From FreightWaves, ICE launches tip line to report CDL fraud as crackdown widens. "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hot line follows shutdown of 110 truck driving schools and investigations spanning 23 states." The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial, "These people obviously can’t get in. Who is funding this op and why?" Quote Anthony Aguero Live @AnthonyAguero, "Over 400 aliens predominantly from Honduras entered Mexico on Thursday, ready to make their way to the US southern border… Here’s footage of the caravan. Someone is incentivizing this movement, this is not organic." Obviously a midterm op. Insty calls it A REMINDER OF WHAT IS AT STAKE IN NOVEMBER. Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital, "As we enter the age of AI, robotics and widespread automation there is zero reason for more mass immigration of low-skilled labor… Immigration at this point in American history should be extremely restrictive." Quote Starship Gazer @StarshipGazer, "Big drone cleaning the Starbase launch control room windows for clear views of Starship flight 14 on launch day."

Leslie Eastman at LI reports Ceuta Confirms First Monkeypox Case After Summer Border Surge from Morocco "Meanwhile, Kasai province in the Democratic Republic of Congo is facing a mpox epidemic." Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "When they pissed off this guy, they pissed off someone who has fought insurgencies, in Northern Ireland and Afghanistan, knows how to run one, and knows the British counterinsurgency game from the inside. They’ve succeeded in pissing off other British vets who know the same things. What they don’t have is guns." Quote Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox, "This story has broken me. It has unleashed a rage so strong I can barely express it, but allow me to try. Above all, I am angry with the decades-long malevolent incompetence of the British state: politicians of all parties, the judiciary, the civil service. Their collective uselessness has shattered the social contract and made us all poorer and less safe. In just 25 years, they have led us from an affluent, high-trust society to a broken, low-trust one..." Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT @lone_rides, "I have an idea for a book. “Hit me” A patriarchal society, women have no rights. They’re forced to dress appropriately. “Like it so far.” This society then starts to fifth column other countries. And people welcome it! “That’s slightly unrealistic but keep going.” Then when the group from this patriarchal society is big enough, they take over the host country. There is some pushback but many people in the host country join with the society in crushing it. “Nope. The plot won’t work. It’s unbelievable.” That’s what I thought but this is a history book about the spread of Islam through immigration." Quote Be Thinkful @BThinkful, "Now what if I told you the people most sympathetic to the invasion were women?"

Larry Elder at Hat Hair hears Trump Bans Media from the White House -- This Is Why He's Angry "The better question is: What took so long?" Nick Arama at RedState laughs as CNN Hilariously Begs Mike Waltz for Trump to Let Them Back in the Pool - His Answer Is Gold Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "LMAO!! CNN's Jake Tapper just BEGGED Ambassador Mike Waltz on national TV to ask President Trump to "let CNN back in the pool" for Air Force One and event coverage "Yesterday, the White House barred CNN from pool...I'd ask if you can convey to President Trump to let CNN back in the pool." Waltz did not promise to do so. ..." Sundance at CTH sees Media Aghast at Not Controlling White House Press Coverage, hosts AG Todd Blanche -VS- ABC Martha Raddatz. "There’s still obviously litigation going on, but the important thing, Martha, is to know that that being in the White House is a privilege. It’s not a — it’s not a right." unseen1 @unseen1_unseen, "Pretty much most the reasons people state for why they are upset about Trump is based on some fake news they read or were exposed to, whether that person is a dem or republican."

From the College Fix, Elementary school staff presented with ‘anti-oppressive’ pledges to dismantle the system. O Canada! Monica Showalter thinks Nikole Hannah-Jones has just written a new version of 'The Jungle'?  "Sinclair, recall, was a progressive-era muckraker who wrote 'The Jungle' in 1906, with the express aim of converting America to socialism. His book described the filthy meat-packing plants of Chicago and the terrible labor conditions experienced by America's Lithuanian and other immigrant workers in a wrenching, emotionally engaging book that became a massive bestseller. But much to his surprise, he didn't convert anyone to socialism. People read about those filthy meat-packing plants where chemicals and spoilage were present, and absolutely shuddered at the thought that they were eating from them. That prompted major legislation to reform food sanitation practices, including the Meat Inspection Act, and the Pure Food and Drug Act by Congress." Garry Kasparov@Kasparov63, "I wish it was a bad joke," Quote Seattle Extremist @SeattleIndepen1, "This book is real. So is the award. In “A Dead White: An Argument Against White Paint” the author argues that white paint isn’t neutral—it carries associations with purity, cleanliness, and power that tie into systems of exclusion and racism. This from the university that gave us Mortimer J Adler and the Great Books movement."

Rob Henderson @robkhenderson, "One of Sweeney’s sins is that she entertains men without first assuring women that their approval disgusts her. Contrast this with Sabrina Carpenter...Her sexual presentation comes with a clear assurance of female allegiance." Bill Costello at Realities Last Stand looks at The Science of Why Women Hate Sydney Sweeney, "Intrasexual competition, guy’s gals, and the vulnerable young men the controversy overlooks." "Evidence suggests women are more supportive than men of egalitarian outcomes and equity over merit-based hierarchies. Beauty is a particularly visible inequality, and its rewards are hardly distributed fairly."

At NYPo, Paranoid owner of woke Mass. lesbian bar puts big restrictions on mask-free Saturday over ‘infiltrator’ fear. Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma, "the reason this lesbian bar story went so viral is that basically every left wing person in America has personally experienced some version of this story in their life over the course of the last decade and is really goddam sick of it." Quote Max Tani @maxwelltani, "Per a note to Boston Globe staff today, the lesbian bar story generated 1,000 subscriptions to the paper yesterday. The Globe’s managing editor said it was “by far our best performing story of the year,” and appears to be “on pace to shatter all sorts of Globe records.”"

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Having Xi for Tea

A day after Trump stomped through the UN, China's President Xi arrived in the US to be met planeside by President Trump. Liberals are up in arms that he would do the courtesy. News Wax, Xi Kicking Off D.C. Visit With Rare Planeside Welcome From Trump.

Nick Arama at RedState thinks the US Delegation Has Perfect Response to Iranian President's UN Speech, Then Rubio Finishes Him "The U.S. delegation had the perfect response — they walked out of the room when Pezeshkian dared to try that spin, telling him and the rest of the world exactly what they thought of that lie. ... Rubio said he thought the Iranians were "under this illusion that Democrats were going to win in November and the president will no longer be able to do things against them." PJM's Stephen Kruiser says It's a Shame Trump Couldn't Shut Down the UN for Good. News Wax claims Munitions Account for $28.1 Billion of $43.6 Billion US-Iran War Cost and Board of Peace to Unveil $2.45 Billion Gaza Recovery Plan. They could just shower the place with gold coins.

Also at News Wax, Mark Meadows to Newsmax: Greenland Deal 'Snuck Up on All of Us'. Am Con asks Is the Greenland Deal a Win? "Not for the reasons the White House is saying" Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand, "Ok, we now have the actual text of the Greenland deal (https://whitehouse.gov.../), so we can say how it compares to the existing 1951 arrangement and who, between Trump and Denmark, lied the most in their framing of it. Long story short - which may surprise some - the Danes lied the most: Trump is pretty much correct in saying that this new deal grants the US control of Greenland. Let's look into what changed compared to the 1951 deal ... So, to sum up:- The US secured a permanent military foothold that even an independent Greenland would inherit whether it likes it or not - The US now has veto power over any non-NATO military presence in Greenland, and over who can invest in its strategic infrastructure and resources (beyond NATO and the EU) - Denmark signed away its say over the principle of new US bases, with only the right to discuss the "implementation details" - Danish authorities no longer set the rules for US military movement across the island - And all of it is now justified by the defense of "the American continent" I don't know in which universe this even remotely "recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom and the Greenlandic people's right to self-determination," as Danish PM Mette Frederiksen put it (https://stm.dk/e...). Yes, the preamble of the text cynically "reaffirms" Danish sovereignty but, in my book, when you let a foreign country put bases on your soil, move its troops without following your rules and veto who else can come in, in perpetuity, after it spent two years threatening to take you by force, the word for that is anything but "recognized sovereignty""

PJM's Sarah Anderson is not happy, Venezuela: Trump and Delcy Pose for a Picture. María Corina Machado Denied Entry. At Hat Hair John Sexton considers Is Another Russian Mobilization Coming? and Beege Welborn reports Mr. Trump Meets the Incredibly Squirmy Burnham.

PJM's Scott Pinsker thinks AI and Data Centers Are Politically Losers. That’s Why Trump and the GOP Should Go All In and VodkaPundit says Hey, Xi — Good Luck Keeping AI on a Communist Leash.

Reason finds California Wants to Write America's AI Rules, "Newsom's expert panel has two months to consider new AI rules, including "kill switches," that could spread nationwide." At Politico, Democrat blocks fast-track passage for data center ratepayer bill. "Overwhelming House approval on the Ratepayer Protection Act wasn’t enough to secure quick passage in the Senate." Showing they want issues, not solutions. 

Eric Spracklen @EricSpracklen, "This might be the most brutal and deserved community note I’ve ever seen." Roger Kimball at Am Great smells something, The Political Weather Is Changing, "There is something in the air—a budding crispness, fresh scents, valedictory echoes—that tells us that a change is nigh." Matt Margolis at PJM notices Fake Trump Approval Numbers Are Coming. Like, REALLY Fake. Drew @AllegedlyDrew, "The primary elections are when you remove RINOs.

Liberals whine.

Breitbart Bus Dig approves of The Fed's Secular Acelerationist Stance "Even while the American public remains in quite a sour mood about the American economy, the Federal Reserve has become increasingly bullish."

Dave Strom at Hat Hair thinks Hasan Piker Has One Great Virtue... "He inevitably says exactly what he thinks, and by extension, since Democrats love him, tells us what Democrats are really thinking or fantasizing about." Rep. Andy Ogles @RepOgles, "This is what the Left wants." Quote Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "I will throw you in prison. I want Chinese style communism to happen inside of the democratic party right now.

But oil prices are still high from the Houthis of Yemen attacking the Saudi oil infrastructure. At Caliber, Iran’s currency slide pushes costs as household purchasing power falls.

Saggezza Eterna @FinalTelegraph, Memory Hole Politics: 10 Times Leftist Presidents Locked Out the Press (THREAD) The left wants you to believe that revoking White House press credentials is an unprecedented assault on democracy. Their manufactured outrage is pure theater. Progressive administrations have spent decades weaponizing executive power to silence dissent, punish critical coverage, and banish conservative reporters from public view. Here are ten documented times Democrat leadership locked out or purged dissenting journalists" Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "Good list. Then there was the blackballing of President Trump across the social mediasphere, and the total blackout on the NY Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story. Plus collusion on Russiagate and covid “misinformation.” By the First Amendment champions." Matt Margolis at PJM, Obama Accidentally Proves He Got Away With Attacking the Free Press. Catturd ™ @catturd2, "When Biden was installed in the White House, he would almost never talk to the press, and when he attempted to - the fake news press would ask him pre-written questions, then he'd read a pre-written answer (that he didn't even write) So spare me pretending these are real journalists." Greg Lukianoff at the Eternally Radical Idea finds Leadership matters at Dartmouth!

A look at what the data shows on key stories the media is not reporting. "As the chart above shows, net U.S. job growth during the past seventeen months has only been through hiring of women. Net male job growth is non-existent. Of course, one reason that the media is not investigating the reasons for this is that they haven’t reported the story in the first place."

Stacy McCain looks at The Zero-Sum Logic of Racial Hatred

“Colorblindness” is a trap, Nikole Hannah-Jones asserts and I agree with her — but not the sense she means it. Hannah-Jones was criticizing the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision that ruled racial quotas (in the name of “diversity” or “affirmative action”) to be unconstitutional:

[Conservatives] are using civil rights law to claim that the Constitution requires “colorblindness” and that efforts targeted at ameliorating the suffering of descendants of slavery illegally discriminate against white people. They have co-opted both the rhetoric of colorblindness and the legal legacy of Black activism not to advance racial progress, but to stall it. Or worse, reverse it.

The tendentious wording — the implicit assumption that “descendants of slavery” are suffering, and that “ameliorating” the aforesaid suffering is a political imperative — functions as intended, portraying opponents of racial quotas as heartless opponents of “racial progress.”

There are so many things wrong with that single paragraph that I could write an entire essay exploding her errors, but that’s irrelevant to the larger point, namely that racial obsession is at least as dangerous for black people as it is for white people.

Nikole Hannah-Jones sacrificed her daughter’s education for political reasons, and her daughter called her on it — correctly." Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79, "NHJ and her husband intentionally sent their daughter to a low-income black school. When her daughter said something about it, NHJ first tried to say her school wasn’t that bad:" Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79, "NHJ is now “overcome with regret.” Her daughter says, “Sometimes I wish instead of always thinking about other kids, you would have thought about me.” Brutal."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Gets Greenland

In all but name. And, hey, we didn't get their welfare state or the Democrat votes. At Da Caller, Trump Announces U.S. Will Have ‘Permanent Control Over Security’ In Greenland. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump, "BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! ...." At PJM Matt Margolis says Trump Secures a HUGE and Historic Deal with Greenland and Scott Pinsker asks What Happens When Pacman Rescues the Princess?: The Great Greenland Gaslight. Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, ""OK, that's nice but Trump has not yet made all of my heart's wildest dreams and desires come true, so I'm sitting out the midterms." /sarc off This is a geopolitical masterstroke. In an era of aggressive Chinese economic and military expansion, this pact between the USA and Denmark is vital. Great job Mr. President and Secretary Rubio." Matt Morse @MattMorseTV, "“Trump’s new deal with Greenland is exactly the same as the old one!” Not true at all. Key new details: Duration: The 1951 deal lasted only as long as NATO existed and Greenland remained part of NATO. Trump’s 2026 deal lasts indefinitely, even if NATO implodes or Greenland becomes independent. ..."

Theresa Fallon @TheresaAFallon, "There has been a prevalent optimism bias in Europe. Even at the #MSC in 2022, shortly before the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, US officials warned that Moscow was about to make a move. Despite all the mounting evidence that war was near, European strategists would not accept this conclusion." Quote Gandalv @Microinteracti1, "For two years the official line is that Russia might be able to attack a NATO country in five to eight years, which is the kind of warning that lets you roll over and go back to sleep. In August American intelligence quietly moves the start of that window to this autumn...." From sundance at CTH, President Vladimir Putin Gives Remarks on Europe’s Preparations for Expanded War Against Russia. FWIW, I don't see Europe wanting war with Russia, but they are getting increasingly fearful the US won't support them in the way they've become accustomed. Good.

VodkaPundit at Insty cites CONRAD BLACK: Canada must mature as a nation. “Carney is pushing a “war” against the country to which we sell about 70 per cent of our exports, the country upon which we are completely dependent for our own military security. And Carney appears to be much more the continuator than the reformer of the helter-skelter immigration policies that have put terrible pressure on housing costs for Canadians of modest incomes. The fact that nearly 45 per cent of Canadians are foreign-born or the children of foreign-born parents heaps tremendous social costs on the country. Canada’s fertility rate of 1.25 is among the lowest in the Western world and we are the assisted suicide capital of the world with the beaming encouragement of our terribly inadequate public health-care system.” From sundance, Barbara Boyd Reviews Shield of Americas, Rubio and Trump’s Moves Against Canada/EU and President Sheinbaum and President Trump Agree on Terms for Bilateral Trade Deal.

Matt Cookson at RCW thinks it's Time for MBS to Finish Off the Houthis. Sundance thinks China Leverages Pressure on Iran to Stop Strikes on Saudi Oil Fields. Guy Benson @guypbenson, “The blockade proves the success of sanctions. If the U.S. keeps its chokehold, Tehran will likely break.” Max Abrahms @MaxAbrahms, "This has less to do with Israeli behavior than the onslaught of disinformation about it." Quote Dominic Michael Tripi @DMichaelTripi, "NEW: Israel’s net favorability in the US reaches new all-time low, falling an unprecedented -67 points from +51 in Trump’s first term to -16 now, with approval continuing to fall across all polls."

Pro America Politics @proamericapol, "President Trump secured 65 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela. He just secured military and economic control over Greenland. Poverty in the US just hit an all-time low. We have net negative immigration to the US for the first time in 75 years. Do you see why they have to desperately obsess over the temporary increase in gas prices? It's all they have." RightWI @RightWI1776, "Wow I can't believe Diesel is over $9/gallon Wait nevermind this was 2022 under Biden." John Hinderacker at Power Line, A Booming Economy: Who Cares? From Breitbart Bus Dig, The World Still Loves the American Economy. Dave Manney at PJM says The $6.7 Billion DOGE Headline Is True. It Also Leaves Out Half the Story. "Spend $6.7 billion once to reduce annual spending by more than $20 billion, and suddenly the story sounds rather different."

Sundance reports President Trump Announces AI Task Force and Pending Appointment of AI Czar. Kevin Killough at JTN hears California Gov. Newsom signs order demanding federal government regulate AI 'before it's too late' "Newsom's statement cites an incident where an Anthropic AI model escaped a containment system to hack into another platform, and says the federal government hasn't responded to the concerns." From the NoTricksZone, Economic Masterminds: German Socialists Suggest Taxing Productivity Gains Stemming From Using AI. mike bski @BskiMike22802, "If You Were Born Before 1980, The Left Has Killed You With Climate Change At Least 17 Times!" ZitoSalena @ZitoSalena, "There are times when I cover an issue in politics/culture on the ground that is seen so wildly different than what either polling shows, social media dictates or the manufactured fear demands it should be. AI/data power centers is one of them The story..."a

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson, "Stephen Miller delivered the greatest on-air masterclass on why you have to vote Republican in the midterms “Democrats’ policies aren’t just wrong; their policies are evil.” “You cannot sit on the sidelines when we are trying to save this country from an agenda that is sinister and wicked and morally indefensible.” Republicans are delivering results: a thriving country under President Trump, secured borders, falling crime, and an America First agenda. The second Democrats take power, they will open the borders again and the mass invasion of our country will continue. This is a fight for the future of our nation. Vote." Chip Roy @chiproytx, "Republicans looking at polls - in Texas or anywhere - and accepting defeat are engaging in self-fulfilling prophecy. Be proud of what we’ve done, admit where we need to do better, expose the radical Democrats, & decide to win. Sports Psychology 101."

The College Fix does a DEEP DIVE and finds Abdul El-Sayed’s sister is a radical university professor. Twitchy ws amused when Abdul El-Sayed Got Heightmogged by an Average Sized Female State Rep. and Became the Weekend’s Meme. War Correspondent @warDaniel47, "OMG. Stunning resurfaced footage shows Ugandan Mayor Mamdani saying the plan is to manipulate white leftists into electing 3rd worlders like him Spoken in his 3rd world accent: "You need someone to be a validator, tell them to TRUST US." "Minority communities, because we've never had representation, we are tied to identity. White communities...are more ideology...voters think of themselves first as progressive." Muslim invaders PURPOSEFULLY position themselves as "validators" to manipulate the public into handing over control TERRIFYING. He needs to be deported." Twitchy sees Jessica Tarlov Saying Dems Are on the Side of Sanity Nearly Made Bill Maher Fall Out of His Chair. RedWave Press @RedWavePress, "Bill Maher: “There are things in history that absolutely do compare to the Holocaust. But lots of people just love to throw that term around. I mean, this country is so antisemitic now…” David Foster: “What turned the Democratic Party antisemitic?” Bill Maher: “Israel. It's what turned them. It's a question I explore a lot on my show.” David Foster: “I don't know the answer. And you don't either?” Bill Maher: “I do. Again, it's lack of education…" and RedWave Press @RedWavePress, "Bill Maher: “Greta Thunberg. She's a professional useless idiot and I would like to talk some sense into her.” David Foster: “How did she get to be so Greta?” Bill Maher: “How did that whole generation get there? My short answer: lack of education. We stopped teaching kids things. They don’t know anything… Ignorant is different than stupid… And it’s not their fault that the schools stopped teaching them things..."

Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel, "Funny thing, this doesn’t even include federalized national guard troops, so Newsom basically just signed a bill making it harder for other states to help us with riots, wildfires, earthquakes or any other major emergency. Great job." Quote California Globe CaliforniaGlobe, "Newwsom Signs Bill Barring Out-of-State National Guard Deployments into CA. Because we don’t want military help with our riots?" Carol Roth @caroljsroth, "Actually, it was insane in real time. It was also intentional and evil." Quote Polymarket @Polymarket, "JUST IN: Gavin Newsom says closing California beaches during COVID was “insane, in hindsight.”

Kyle Becker at RedState reports Minnesota's Anti-Ice Fraud Fund Was Just 'Shut Down.' The Reason Couldn't Be More Ironic. "A $2 million "anti-ICE" fraud fund that was intended to help those who were "harmed" by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers enforcing the law was recently frozen because of — you guessed it — fraud."

Julie Kelly @julie_kelly2, "Mike Davis @mrddmia confirmed this morning that Article III Project plans to file a judicial misconduct complaint related to the NYT article published yesterday profiling Judge Patrick Schiltz and including comments from 6 other federal judges: declassified.live Courthouse Coup, Minnesota Style In a recent interview with the New York Times, Patrick Schiltz--the former chief judge of the Minnesota district court--described a collective effort to block the administration’s deportation plans."

SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire, "BREAKING: In a 2-1 vote, the Fifth Circuit ruled that the federal ban on direct interstate handgun sales violates the Second Amendment."

From Da Caller, DHS Cracks Down On Immigration Attorneys Who File ‘Meritless’ Asylum Claims. Sundance reports President Trump Identifies H1B Visa Abuse as a “National Security Threat.” Jonathan Turley sees Sen. Paul Introduces a Birthright Citizenship Amendment, which, of course, won't happen anytime soon. "Most countries in the world reject this controversial policy. Our closest allies in Europe reject birthright citizenship and follow the common practice of “jus sanguinis,” or right of blood. We are part of a smaller number of countries following “jus soli,” or right of soil. Various countries that once followed the practice later amended their constitutions or laws to get rid of it. That is what would need to be done with a 28th amendment." Beege Welborn is disappointed by a Dem in RINO Clothing: SoFL Rep Salazar's Message for President Trump.

Lara Logan @laralogan, "The situation in Ceuta is turning worse & worse. The Spanish government has been exposed lying to the people as it is obvious tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are still there. Perhaps more importantly the world is seeing what globalism & open borders really mean: invasion & conquest. This is happening across the western world to differing degrees - you just don’t get to see it. But the effect is the same: over time your culture, country & identity are overwhelmed & replaced." Quote Reuters @Reuters, "WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Spanish police began moving hundreds of migrants from beaches in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta to temporary facilities at the city's port, sparking tension as migrants vied for limited spots at the new location."

Nick Arama at RedState laughs as CNN Left on the Sidewalk After Being Booted From WH, Then a Passerby Hilariously Chimes in Live. "Tell the truth! If you tell the truth, then you won't get revoked. Tell the truth." Twitchy, Kaitlan Collins Calls CNN White House Ban an ‘Illegal Assault’ on Their Constitutional Rights. TownHall's Matt Vespa likes how Sarah Huckabee Sanders Easily Shut Down the Media's Outrage Over CNN's WH Ban by Making This Point. Jack @jackunheard, "CNN got banned for telling lies about the president. Conservatives got banned for telling the truth about the covid vaccine. We are not the same." Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84, News flash: Biden also changed the White House press pool and he cut off more than 440 reporter’s credentials. Zero outrage. I don’t know about y’all but the hypocrisy gets to me sometimes." Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "This is straight up commie shit, BTW. The State is going to enforce political content restrictions? California is indistinguishable from a communist country." Quote Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "According to this anon reporting, Bob Bonta is demanding that he get content oversight over CNN. LMAO after all of his denials that this bullshit lawsuit "wasn't about CNN", the cat is out of the bag. We all knew it...this was always just about politics. What a scumbag."

At Althouse, "Following a 19-month effort by President Donald Trump to take control of the arts center, its board voted to close the building Tuesday..." ""... as Trump, who has demanded his name be added to the institution, threatened to cancel a more than $250 million renovation. The president said Wednesday that without his intervention the building could be 'ripped down.'" I'm reading "What Washington lost when the Kennedy Center closed/We asked Washington Post readers to share memories of the storied arts hub.

Marina Hyde at the Guardian asks Are you outraged by Sydney Sweeney – again? More fool you. "Forgive me. Life is, in fact, very, very boring, because yet another Sydney Sweeney-advertising-centred firestorm has been ignited by this ad." Jonah Goldberg weighs in at the Dispatch, by Cashing In on Sydney Sweeney’s Cash-In, "Media bias shows itself in the bazonga discourse." He can think a little when his TDS is shove aside.
