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.

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..."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Still Flogging the Dead Epstein

Lacking anything really new and exciting, we're milking a dry cow of the Jeffrey Epstein thing. Michael Shellenberger has an ax to grind, Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger, "New Epstein files show Rep. @StaceyPlaskett got real-time help via text messages from Jeffrey Epstein on how to hurt Trump during 2019 congressional hearing with former Trump attorney. Plaskett is the person who smeared us during Twitter Files hearing & falsely accused @mtaibbi" From NYPo, House Democrat exchanged texts with Epstein on how to hurt Trump during 2019 congressional hearing: docs. At PJM Matt Margolis thinks Trump Just Completely Turned the Tables on Democrats Over the Epstein Files. From the Republican Brief, Trump urges GOP to release Epstein files. From Althouse, ... House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax..." ""... perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat 'Shutdown.' The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on 'Epstein,' are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE! All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT.... Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory. Some 'members' of the Republican Party are being 'used,' and we can’t let that happen. Let’s... not fall into the Epstein “TRAP,” which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" So says Trump, over on Truth Social." IIRC, a Democrat judge has enjoined the administration from releasing many documents. A congressional mandate might help. Matt Margolis at PJM says Hey Democrats, Let’s Talk About Ashley Biden’s Diary for a Moment. "Democrats have spent the past week flailing wildly, throwing accusations at President Donald Trump about Jeffrey Epstein without a shred of evidence to back them up. The desperation reeks." In response to Jazzy Crockett calling Trump a pedophile. 

At this point, I think that Epstein "files" are a McGuffin. No matter who releases what, it will never be enough for the other side. I don't trust the Biden maladministration not to have destroyed material damaging to Democrats, and I assume the left holds a similar position regarding Trump's DOJ.

Matt Vespa at TownHall sees a Top Republican Go Scorched Earth on Dems Over Failed Schumer Shutdown Circus. From the Tampa Freep, Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy To ‘Loon Wing’ Dems: Stop Shuttering Government Or Lose Your Paycheck. From BI, It's official: Members of Congress won't get a pay bump this year "The bill to reopen the government included a provision that prevents a cost-of-living increase." And well deserved. From Politico, Ro Khanna identifies ‘dynamic’ leaders to replace Schumer "The California representative said Chuck Schumer is no longer the future of the Democratic Party. . . . On Sunday, Khanna praised some leading Senate Democrats, calling Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.) a “top leader” and Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Brian Schatz (Hawaii) “dynamic” as well as saying he “appreciates” the ideology of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.)." Ugh.

At TownHall, Dan McCarthy thinks Trump Can Do Better Than Tariff 'Dividends' and 50-Year Mortgages and Larry Elder remembers Before Trump Became a 'Racist'. Peachy Keenan @KeenanPeachy, "Romcom premise: therapist of a woman with chronic TDS that’s ruining her life tells her that part of her therapy is exposure: she needs to spend time around a Trump supporter until her anxiety wears off. She must date a Trump supporter to be cured of her disease. Hilarity ensues. Title: “Making Amelia Great Again”" Quote Collin Rugg @CollinRugg "NEW: Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert says that 75% of the patients he sees have a deep hatred for Trump and are "hyper fixated" on him. "They can't sleep, they feel traumatized by Mr. Trump." Nathan Stone at Da Fed outlines how To Win The War For America, The GOP Needs To Realize It’s Happening. Walter Curt @wcdispatch, "I don’t know who needs to hear this, but to all of the people screaming “MAGA is finished” and that “we’ve already lost the 2026 midterms.” Giving up a full year in advance of an election may be the weakest and most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. If that’s what you believe, you deserve to lose. . . " From the Republican Brief, Trump Rejects Endorsement from Former Ally and Vows Primary Battle, MTG. Kurt Schlichter at TownHall, says it's Time to Purge the GOP Backstabbers, Sissies, and Narcissists. Who's left? All politicians are narcissists. 

Driscoll at Insty, SURPRISE! Here’s Where Your Taxes to Help ‘Homeless People’ Actually Go. To create more homeless, of course. Kevin Dahlgren @kevinvdahlgren, "I crunched some numbers today and created this graph. The Homeless budget in Portland, Oregon over the last 10 years, has increased at nearly the same rate of our homeless population. This proves if money with a solution, we would’ve solved by now. With our recent 61% increase of homelessness, you all know what direction that red line is going to go. Straight up. This is why I call it the Homeless Industrial Complex." From Willis Eschenbach at Skating Under the Ice, Lies, Damn Lies, and USAID Lies.

Sarah Anderson at PJM, Rubio Declares Venezuela's Cartel De Los Soles as FTO. Trump Speaks on the Next Move. Streiff at RedState hears PBS Claim Military Officers Are Lawyering Up Over Trump's Orders but What's Really Happening? "We are primarily getting calls, a lot of people who are tangentially involved. They aren't the people who are actually on the operations or are approving them." He goes on to say that people who are giving advice and opinions against the operation are feeling informal pressure to get on board. The way I read that is that the military lawyers who ruled the roost in Iraq and Afghanistan, creating a maze of legal hoops that commanders had to jump through before engaging the enemy, are finding themselves sidelined. If the operators aren't concerned, then no one asking questions about the orders matters."

At Da Wire, Zohran Mamdani Says He Wants To Make NYC Affordable. Don’t Believe Him. "The socialist’s pursuit of “climate justice” will price middle-class New Yorkers out of their homes" into government housing. Mark Lewis at TownHall looks at What New York City Has to Look Forward To, good and hard. From Reason, How Lina Khan Is Busy Striving To Maximize Mamdani's Power "Using the mighty power of government to…make stadium hot dogs cheaper? It's one of many ways Khan's petty populism could be coming to New York City." Driscoll, THOSE ARE ROOKIE NUMBERS. MAMDANI WILL REALLY GET THEM PUMPED UP: Commercial foreclosures on the rise in New York City. "Commercial foreclosures are up in New York City, according to a new report. Through the third quarter, lenders have initiated foreclosures on 61 commercial properties in New York City, according to data from PropertyShark. At this point in 2024, 55 new foreclosures had been filed." Roger Simon at Am Refugees, Et Tu, Seattle? 'Democratic' Socialism Goes Bi-Coastal.

"Again, the media is getting wrong the most significant parts of the DC Appeals Court to not review en banc the Panel Decision blocking Boasberg's Contempt Proceedings." From Twitchy, WOW: Scott Jennings Gets High-Ranking Democrat Consultant to Admit WHOPPER of a Trump Lawfare Lie (Watch) MAGA NEWS @_MAGA_NEWS_, "BOMBSHELL ADMISSION: In a jaw-dropping CNN interview, Lis Smith, a high-ranking 'Democratic consultant', confessed that the 34 felony charges against President Trump were not the result of legitimate legal proceedings, but part of the Democratic Party's 'resistance strategy'."

From the Republican Brief, JD Vance Looks Straight Into Camera And Tells Them ALL To ‘Go To Hell’ “I think that is the most disgusting thing.

Jonathan Turley “Chicagoans Do Not Want Us to Bankroll the Regime”: Chicago Will No Longer Buy Treasury Bonds because of ICE "Now, the person in charge of investing that money is declaring that politics rather than economics will guide investments . . .

Reagan Reese at Da Caller reports DeSantis World Goes To War With H1B Visas As Trump Faces Blowback From Base. CBD at Ace's says Taxpayer-Funded Universities Are Training Foreigners To Take Our Jobs. H1Bs And OPTs Make It Even Worse! Robert Sterling on Threadreader has a H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD "I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data. I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works. Here's what I found . . . You can see where I’m going with this. A casual perusal of the data shows that this isn’t a program for the top 0.1% of talent, as it’s been described. This is simply a way to recruit hundreds of thousands of relatively lower-wage IT and financial services professionals."

From WUWT, Iain Macwhirter at the Daily Skeptic tells the story of The BBC: My Part In Its Downfall "So when did this all change? Well I think I can just about date it to 2014 or so and the issue was climate change. For the first time the BBC said to its staff that this cult of impartiality should no longer apply." Dave Strom at Hat Hair, UK Public Health Agency Won't Release COVID Vaccine Data Because It Could Cause 'Distress', is continued excess mortality from the disease or the vax? CDR Salamander reviews The Last 600 Meters: PBS's 17 Year Disgrace "no, you are not outraged enough, but watch anyway." Dave Manney at PJM, From Soros Grants to Selective Coverage: The Drop Site Model. "Drop Site News arrived with the usual fanfare about integrity and independence, while its founders pitch themselves as renegades who answer to no one. Once you follow the funding trail that keeps the lights on, that image collapses, because an "independent" outlet backed by powerful patrons isn't independent at all; it's another tool in a long line of ideological projects that try to shape American opinion while pretending to stand outside the influence they distribute."
