Flotsam and Jetsam - DHS Raids Ilhan Omar's House

First, from Matt Margolis at PJM, Federal Agents Raid Ilhan Omar's D.C. Home. At Da Caller, DHS Raids Ilhan Omar’s Home Amid Criminal Investigation. News Wax, Feds Search Rep. Ilhan Omar's Home in Criminal Probe and Trump Calls Omar 'Totally Crooked' in Remarks on Raid. Sundance at CTH, Federal Agents Execute Search Warrant on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Home. "The political left is going bananas, the socialists are having fits, the Islamists are in a rage and the communists are apoplectic about the news that federal law enforcement has executed a search warrant at the home of Representative Ilhan Omar. However, there are no specific details about the nature of the federal action." From Pirate's Cove, Wow: Federal Agents Searched Ilhan Omar’s House. Althouse posts "Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say." "AP reports." Ace, DHS Agents Execute a Search Warrant on Ilhan "Omar's" DC Home, Seeking Her Old Immigration Paperwork. "Deport." Gina Milan @ginamilan_, "Just so we’re clear… A federal judge in D.C. signed off on the search warrant for Ilhan Omar’s home. The DOJ had to show probable cause as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork. In a district full of liberal judges, that doesn’t happen without serious evidence. Today is a very good day for America." and a Friendly reminder… The Biden DOJ launched an investigation into Ilhan Omar in 2024 over her finances, campaign spending, and dealings with a foreign citizen. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "If you didn't want the DOJ to prosecute jihadist Congresswomen who illegally obtain citizenship and commit criminal immigration fraud, perhaps you should not have rifled through Melania's underwear drawer at 3 a.m." RedState's Kyle Beck says Holy Moly: The Code Name for Ilhan Omar Raid Is Just Too Funny. Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_, "WaPo reports that the federal criminal fraud investigation investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is called “World War 11”, an apparent reference to a recent comment Omar made when she said the Alien Enemies Act hadn’t been used since “World War Eleven”." Shipwreckedcrew says Yes -- Minn. Rep. Ilhan Omar Can Be Denaturalized And Deported If Her Original Immigrant Visa Was Obtained Via Fraud By Her Father. "This is a story that has been around for many years, with evidence being produced in the country of Somaliland where Omar’s father is reported to have served while in the Somali National Army." Roger Simon wonders if Ilhan Omar was Investigated in Time for... My Book?, "Something larger is at stake."

At PJM, VodkaPundit reminds us So the FBI Did Another Big Raid You Might Have Missed.... "Did you hear the one about the FBI investigation in the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners that caught one of them with his hand in the cookie jar of his own nonprofit?" I didn't miss it.

Rabbi Mike Barclay connects Houthi Attacks and New Archaeological Discoveries in Israel. Duane Patterson at Hat Hair wonders what it take Getting the Iranian Regime to Cry 'Uncle' in Farsi. Fox opines The Iran war didn't make your heating bill this high. Blue-state energy policy did. "The US has just 130 operable refineries, down from 301 in 1982." At CTH sundance hosts Barbara Boyd Explores the Ramifications of the Trump-Putin Energy Deal. From Jamestown, Xi’s Purge and the War Over Taiwan. "The purge shows political will emphasized over military professionalism. Military conflict is less likely in the short term while new officers enter their posts, but gray-zone pressure will likely escalate. A leadership consisting of compliant subordinates makes war increasingly likely over time." Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks Carney is Committing Commercide, to gain politically. 

Fox hosts Trump warns of a 1929-style depression if Dems win. From NewsWax, Musk Pours $276 Million Into GOP Midterm Push. From CJ, Trump’s Census Proposal Is a Big Step in Restoring National Unity, "Eliminating race and ethnicity tabulation from the decennial questionnaire will help dismantle identity politics and the grievance industry." Eric Trump @Eric_TrumpRv, "JUST IN: President Trump alludes to possibly appointing Ron DeSantis to a CABINET POSITION “I like him a lot!” I’m ALL for this. Ron DeSantis is one of the best executives in America, and his term is up in just months." 

Security and Cigars explains An Oath is a Terrible Thing, "Why Former Major Nidal Hasan Must Be Executed."

The Victory Girls opine, Kimberly Guilfoyle Is A Headache The Administration Doesn’t Need. From News Wax, Kimberly Guilfoyle: 'Where's the Beef' in Allegations? "Guilfoyle's attorneys offer a sharply different account: Rather than receiving improper payments, Guilfoyle was attempting to collect money owed for legitimate work performed before entering diplomatic service. At no point has anyone claimed she received private money while serving as a U.S. ambassador. A disputed private business arrangement predating public service is not, by itself, evidence of corruption. Then there are the questions about private-aircraft travel. Sources close to Guilfoyle's team state that she sought and obtained State Department guidance before using private aircraft and complied with applicable travel, ethics, gift, and reporting rules." Both can be true, it's a headache for Trump, and the allegations can be overblown. I resent the media forcing these choices. UPDATE from Da Caller, White House Asks Scandal-Ridden Kimberly Guilfoyle To Resign. Don Surber has The story ABC does not want you to see, "The Disney subsidiary went after Trump’s sons and failed. ABC scrubbed the URL. I found it."

At Hat Hair Capt. Ed calls it Too Weird to NOT Check First: Did Talarico Have a Mental Health Crisis? Althouse has the Tweet found after prompting A.I. with "get me up to speed on the Talarico-had-a-nervous-breakdown craze." James Talarico @jamestalarico, "I’ve never even been to Ohio." Quote Lindner Center HOPE @LindnerCtrHope, "Representative James Talarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope." and comments "What?! Never been to Ohio? That's got to be disqualifying. How can we have a Senator who's never been to Ohio?" I've been to Ohio. He didn't miss much. Richard Grenell @RichardGrenell, "Jacqueline and the NYT have tracked down a disputed bakery bill from 6 years ago…but let James Talarico disappear this month for 12 days with no curiosity. Journalism is dead." Quote Jacqueline Alemany @JaxAlemany, "Six years later, Sen. Roger Marshall settles a $700 bakery bill for 50 frosted sugar cookies, 100 mini strawberry muffins and 100 fudge brownies. " So both Talarico and the Ohio funny farm deny that he went there. Now, we all know politicians lie, alot. But it occurs to me that under HIPAA, the hospital may be legally obligated to lie, if the patient does not want his stay there revealed. I'm going to stick with this might be true.

Hat Hair's Beege Welborn sees El-Sayed Has a Sudden, Fierce Case of Amnestic 'Who's My Buddy? Who's My Pal? Obama Is!' while Capt. Ed says Oh Brother(hood) II: El-Sayed's Islamist Boogaloo. From the Free Bacon, Abdul El-Sayed’s Family Has ‘Long Been’ in Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Senate Candidate’s Sister Said in Unearthed Social Media Posts. "El-Sayed said on 'Meet the Press' that neither he nor any of his family members have ties to the Islamist group."

(4:36) But somehow, those few dozen small donations she has made have transmogrified into 14,696 donations totaling more than $150,000—the equivalent of eight donations a day, every day for the past five years averaging $9.18. She says she has contributed to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Socialist running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, but not 47 times spanning the last TWO YEARS, as federal filings show..."

At Victory Girls, Mamdani Monday: DSA Demands And The Italian Snub. He boycotted the annual Columbus Day Parade, probably fearing boos. NYPo, Gov. Kathy Hochul booed while marching in NYC’s Columbus Day parade: ‘You’re a disgrace’ PJM's Stephen Kruiser says Columbus Day Always Puts Me in a Land-Stealing Mood and Bob Spencer hears The Democratic Socialists Are Furious With That Far-Right Extremist, Zohran Mamdani.

This is the 2026 powwow for the Northern Cheyenne, the Arapaho, the Dakota and the Lakota, the largest Plains Nation, the one that fought the US Army to the bitter end and defeated Custer. This is them. Today." The Wombat has In The Mailbox: 10.12.26 (Annual Admiral of the Ocean Sea Appreciation Post). 

From NRO, Dem Campaign Ads Cite Soros-Backed Fake News Sites to Sway Voters in Key Races. From Fox, The blue wave looks real until you look a little closer. "The Democrats need a net gain of four seats to control the Senate, and while some are prematurely sipping Champagne, nobody really knows if they can draw that kind of inside straight. If they tell you they do, they’re lying." At ¡No Pasaran! "Happy to Mail That Ballot for You"?! What the right to vote does NOT require is governments providing every possible personal convenience imaginable.

Inez Stepman @InezFeltscher, "I wrote for @NRO about the mysteriously absent “no” in the Cornell 7 case : “The end result of liberal sexual ethics writ large — according to which women seldom say no and they can be, or should be, every bit as debauched as men — has not been a joyful bacchanal but a minefield. It’s a two-tiered system for the sexes. Female sexuality is practically unlimited, but it’s not coupled with an expectation of responsibility or agency, or even the minimal requirement to know and clearly communicate one’s own mind. On the other side of the ledger, male sexuality is maximally constrained. In a reversal of biological fortune, men are now expected to be the brakes on sex, even when women directly advertise that they are eager and open to all comers. In the face of “free p****,” to quote one defendant’s vulgar chat message, they must either be rapists or monks…" Matt Vespa at TownHall says I Can't Believe the Media Admitted They Left Out These Cornell Texts in Their Reporting. Collin Rugg @CollinRugg, "NEW: Texts from 'Jane Doe' following the alleged "r*pe" show her calling the incident a "gamgbang," saying it was "our body our choice," according to TMZ. Doe also appeared to console the man (who she later accused of r*pe). "aw jonathan i really appreciate this text... i don't think we should feel any shame for the part. our body our choice asf," Doe said, according to TMZ. Doe also appeared to acknowledge that a fourth person was involved in the encounter. She also said they were "super out of it."..."

Tyler O'Neil at Da Signal, reports the Montana AG Asks Supreme Court to Revive Case Against DEI Training That Allegedly Declared ‘All Caucasians’ Racist.

At Am Great, DOJ Launches Antitrust Investigation Into Major TV Networks Over White House Coverage Boycott. "DoJ officials contacted the networks Friday, requesting communications and documents concerning the coordinated suspension of coverage."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Talarico Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

Matt Margolis at PJM, Journalist Puts Talarico on the Clock, Threatens to Expose Where He Really Was. At Twitchy, 'You Tell Them OR WE WILL': Nick Sortor Drops the Biggest TIK-TOK We've Ever Seen on James Talarico. Nick Sortor @nicksortor, "Good morning, @JamesTalarico! Would YOU like to reveal where you *actually* were these past couple weeks, or should me and @RheinAmacher do it? Please let us know by 1pm ET today! Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Kyle Becker at RedState, says the Mystery of 'Missing' Talarico May Be Solved After Journo Seemingly 'Confirms' Whereabouts. Nick Sortor @nicksortor, "BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Ohio mental hospital CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week The “flu” thing was a BIG FAT LIE Following reporting by @SaraGonzalesTX and @CarolineWren, a hospital employee told @RheinAmacher and I that Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment. While I sympathize with those dealing with mental health crises, this man is CLEARLY not suited to become a US Senator representing over 30 MILLION TEXANS. The job doesn’t get easier after being elected — it only gets MORE stressful. And Talarico clearly can’t handle it. I pray he gets the help he needs, but Texans need a real representative they can rely on." The hospital denies it, however. Matt Vespa at TownHall wants to know Was James Talarico Admitted to a Mental Health Facility in Ohio? Matt Margolis, Audio Appears to Confirm Talarico’s Stay at Mental Health Facility; Campaign Denies It and Talarico FINALLY Speaks, and I Think He Just Made Things Worse. Rasmussen Reports @Rasmussen_Poll, "Texas Senate Update - The Ohio mental health center denies treating James Talarico" Quote Lindner Center HOPE @LindnerCtrHope, "Representative James Talarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope." Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze, "I wish I could give the benefit of the doubt on this one, but these are the same people who called us liars and conspiracy theorists for 4 years with Joe Biden. You don't get that grace anymore." Quote Just the News @JustTheNews, "Newly released audio raises questions about Talarico’s absence from campaign trial (sic)." Byron York @ByronYork, "Seems odd that Talarico stayed off the trail for so long because of illness without explaining to the public what was going on. Why not just say, I've got the flu, and I can do some brief virtual appearances, but mostly I need to rest for a while?" Quote NBC News @NBCNews, "Democratic state Rep. James Talarico has been off the trail for 12 days. His campaign says he is suffering from the flu and expected to be back in action this weekend." So, we know he's crazy, but did he actually seek treatment? From Twitchy, Uhh, They're Not Here for You: Team Talarico Tries to Take a Victory Lap at Kacey Musgraves Concert. "We won't deny that some people next to the rail as Talarico made his way to the front row (of course) recognized him and were taking videos. But we're pretty sure that most of the cheers in the arena were for Musgraves. Since, you know, that's who the crowd paid to see." Joe Chalfant at TownHall reveals some Influencers Got Payouts to Post Pro-Talarico Content. ATX data @data_atx, "The Talarico influencer army is NOT organic and real NYTimes report out today says tiktokers are being paid $4 per 1000 views for positive Talarico content Back in the day, the Beto fans posted for free!" So, maybe I'll put up a Talarice ad in a Rule 5 post.

Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "While Nithya Raman is desperately trying to delete videos of her recklessly calling people fascists like a psycho, don’t forget…she called me, a fire victim with zero institutional power, a fascist…all because I wanted to get naked drug zombies into rehab so my kids don’t have to see psychos jack off in public. She is just the worst." Quote TheBlaze @theblaze, "LA mayoral candidate Nithya Raman says Spencer Pratt represents “fascism” and calls him “Mini Trump”" Will she be worse than Zohran?

"At least 12 people died and over 300 suffered injuries after Houthi terrorists struck the airport in Saudi Arabia’s capita, Riyadh. One of the victims was an American." Another good reason to eliminate the Houthis. At Homeland Security Today, Terrorism-Related Encounters Surge at Southwest Ports of Entry, Analysis Finds. Now that the porous border has been hardened. "U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at Southwest border ports of entry recorded more than 11,250 “terrorism-related encounters” in the first 11 months of fiscal year 2026 — more than twice as many as in FY 2025 and more than 100 times the previous administration’s record, according to a new analysis by Center for Immigration Studies."

The drinking gets worse, the cruelty, the treatment of women, the tribalism, the peer pressure, one-upmanship, conformity, segregation, nepotism, bullying, elitism, and just general a**holery — boat shoes, for example." Lisa Britton @LisaBritton, "This Reddit user is right… There’s been a war on male spaces for decades now. Fraternities are one of the last still around. We only hear about the negative things regarding fraternities, never the positives, and there are so many positives. Abolishing fraternities is not the way to go!" At Althouse, "What Cornell Teaches Its Students About Sex/From feminist porn awards to guides on group sex, Cornell has promoted sexual liberation as a virtue." "An article by Jared Lederman, a senior at Cornell, in The Free Press. Lots of links to the University's sex guides, such as "Yes, No, Maybe So: A Sexual Inventory Stocklist".""

As the remains of Hurricane Isaias blankets us with tropical moisture. 

Power Line's The Week in Pictures:
Electile Dysfunction Edition

Joe Chalfant at TownHall reports a Houthi Missile Strikes Saudi Arabian Airport, Resulting in 'Mass Casualty Incident'. 3 dead, and an Airbus A310-200 destroyed. It's time to get the players together and eliminate the Houthis. At Da Signal, the Great Victor Davis Hanson says the Iranian Regime Has Only One Way Out "they only have one chance, and that is now to call off the United States military and the United States financial architects of this embargo and somehow squeeze or slither out of the noose that they put their head in. Let’s hope that does not happen."

Loay Alshareef لؤي الشريف @lalshareef, "The Flydubai co-pilot was radicalized in Qandahar, Afghanistan. The Flydubai co-pilot was radicalized in Melbourne, Australia by a mosque linked to the Muslim Brotherhood organization. Let that sink in. People of Australia, wake up."

Rob Lee @RALee85, "In Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, we are seeing early drone warfare. I would equate this to where Ukraine and Russia were in 2023. The diffusion of drone technology and tactics will increase, particularly whenever the Russo-Ukraine war ends. I doubt that we are prepared." Quote Ryan O'Leary @RyanO_ChosenCoy, "One thing that is becoming more common is “PMC” type and drone companies hiring foreigners who did drones in Ukraine for work. The main problem with that, is that anyone can learn to fly a drone in 14-21 days. Give them 6 weeks and they’ll be hitting targets. What they don’t learn in-depth typically is the tactics behind drones (especially for the 6 monthers) or get a good grasp on signals/frequency and all the overly nerdy shit involved in that realm...."

Jeremiah Fowler Security Researcher @yoda69, "According to Cloudflare Data Explorer the amount of russian bot traffic has dropped to 49% after Ukraine struck a yandex data center. Could this disrupt the midterm elections in the US?" Disrupt US election by cutting down Russian bots? Please explain that? At Da Caller, ‘It’s Time For Ukraine To Get A New President’: Trump Signals End Of Patience With Zelenskyy As War Stretches On. Sundance at CTH also hears President Trump Says It’s Time for Zelenskyy to Be Replaced. They could hold an election.... Also, Zelenskyy Urgently Attacks Russian Oil/Fuel Export Terminal "The intention of Zelenskyy’s targeting is obvious to anyone who has followed the conflict between Russia-Ukraine and the involvement of EU-NATO countries in keeping maximum conflict at the forefront. They do not want a strategic agreement between Putin and Trump." John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad, "Why are we importing ANY petroleum products? BUILD MORE DIESEL REFINERIES AND SHIPS TO MOVE IT This is a military priority. If Cali and Mass refuse then build DoW refineries on federal land. If Delta Airlines can own and run a refinery then the USAF can too."

Michael Ron Bowling @mrbcyber, "Disturbing news that the former German spy chief arrested for treason had close relationship to a Chinese general. Western intelligence appears to be deeply compromised. This comes shortly after a report that a senior CIA official had stolen millions from the agency. He also shared information with a foreign intelligence agency. Western democracies believed they had won the cold war and let their defenses down. The CCP never believed the war ended and has been compromising officials the whole time." And this is why you spy on allies (among other good reasons).

Althouse goes to the NYT for their coverage of Hassan's upcoming execution, "Legal experts say that Mr. Hasan could challenge the government’s decision to livestream his execution, perhaps by asserting..." "... that a public broadcast would violate prohibitions on cruel and unusual punishment in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution." Well, you can find a legal expert to say anything you want. Also, "If Hegseth were not a musclebound intellectual void, he would know this." "He would know that the Fort Hood killer told the mental health panel that he wanted to die. Writes London Times columnist Matthew Syed." We should should help him along.

From Commonplace, The Gen Z Blue-Collar Jobs Boom "A new generational opportunity is taking shape in the skilled trades." At Hat Hair Steven Moore asks Why Are Americans So Pessimistic? "But it's weird that the richer and wealthier we get, the more people complain," and Larry Elder answers The Anti-Trump Media and 'Economic Pessimism'. Nick Arama at RedState, Bessent Goes Beast Mode on Elizabeth Warren in Letter That's Pure Gold — Especially the Note at End "Finally, my Offer of a Foreign Exchange for Dummies tutorial still stands, and if you receive a passing grade on the Yale metric, not the Harvard curve, I would be happy to also include a Fixed Income for Dummies. ... "Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day in advance to you and your family."" Da Caller, Secretary Bessent Wishes Heritage-Adopting Senator A ‘Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day’ Amid Flurry Of Snarky Affordability Letters.

Also from Da Caller, Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle Reportedly Boasts Of Elites Bankrolling Her Luxury Travel At Globalist Retreat. "A recording from the January World Economic Forum captured the comments, according to The Wall Street Journal. On it, Kimberly Guilfoyle flaunted her closeness to two Greek tycoons. She was lobbying to get into a dinner for Eric Trump." Isn't that what ambassadors do, fly around and put meetings together? And she's getting someone else to pay for it! But she has shown questionable judgement in the past; she did marry Gavin Newsom. Best occupant of "The Five's" leg chair ever.

She can strangle his children and the media will circle the wagons to protect her. She can divorce him and take half of everything. That’s why."

Driscoll at Insty thinks ELON MUSK’S ENEMIES MAKE HIS BEST CASE: "In 2023, Alex Gibney, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker, announced that he was working on a documentary about Elon Musk. He asked Musk for an interview. The answer was delivered on X: “Gibney,” Musk informed his 241.5 million followers, “is a douche.” You could take the world’s richest man at his word. Or you could spend three hours and 55 minutes watching Gibney do his best to prove Musk right. ... The real America, the one we know from discernible and observable facts, is nowhere on display. In Gibneystan, no record exists of Musk the champion environmentalist, hailed by the left until he refused to continue and parrot its platitudes. Nor is there any mention of Big Tech’s frequent and egregious collusion with Democrat-controlled administrations; the sin of seeking proximity to political power is unique to the devilish Musk himself."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Fairfield Bomber Move Due to Anticipated Drone Attack

We seem to have settled on a reason for the sudden withdrawal of US bombers from England after the group of middle eastern "British" men were caught doing something shady around Fairford air base. It seems terrorists, probably at Iranian direction, were planning a mass drone attack on the airbase, the way Ukraine carried one out against Russian bombers. The men arrest outside the base were part of a diversion scheme. Leslie Eastman at LI, Suspected Iranian Drone Plot Prompts U.S. Bomber Withdrawal from Britain, "Some officials said they believed the plot was loosely inspired by Ukraine’s attack on Russia last year, when it smuggled drones deep into the country and launched them from semi-trucks." Dave Strom at Hat Hair sees Details Drip, Drip, Drip Out About Fairford Incident: Intended Drone Attack. From News Wax, UK Police Arrest 7th Man in Connection With Security Incident at US-Run Air Base. Sundance at CTH, Another Arrest Made in London, Connected to Terrorist Plot Against U.S. Military at RAF Fairford. NRO's Jim Geraghty, Suddenly, the U.S. Has No B-1 Bombers at RAF Fairford. "If the U.S. can find reasons to deem RAF Fairford or any other base on European soil not sufficiently secure for U.S. troops and weapons systems . . . well, that would be an easy way to justify moving those troops and weapons systems to the homeland, wouldn’t it?" CDR Salamander says We Need to Talk About RAF Fairford and the B-1B FLAPEX, "how many wake-up calls will we get?" RCD wonders about F/A-XX: Why the U.S. Is Putting All Its Fighter Eggs in the Boeing Basket.

It looks like the anti-Iranian states in the mid-east are getting a bit tired of the Houthis, Iran's proxies in Yemen holding the Red Sea hostage. Duane Patterson at Hat Hair, The Dawn of Yemen. "The Houthis had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day on Monday, and I'm here for it." Open Source Intel @Osint613, "Turkish troops, aircraft, and air defense systems are heading to Saudi Arabia to counter Houthi attacks, Turkish officials told Middle East Eye. The deployment falls under the Mecca defense pact with Riyadh and Islamabad, now activated." Ace, Saudi Arabia Joins Yemen's Government in Attacking Iran's Houthi Proxy Army, "The IRGC's proxy army in Yemen, the Houthis, struck two Saudi airfields, with light damage. More seriously, they had also seized key positions on the southern tip of the Yemeni coast on the Red Sea, opening a second front for the IRGC to attack the export of oil in an effort to force the world to stop Trump from destroying them.

Leslie Eastman, again, hears Russia Walks Back Plague Claims After Siberian Lab Employee’s Death, "Russia’s health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, reports that there was no lab accident. Furthermore, the agency also insists that the young woman did not die of exposure to any pathogen that she had been handling." Alex Berenson at Unreported Truths explains Why you don’t need to worry about the Russian plague accident (if in fact there was a Russian plague accident). "Public health ninnies and a reporter promoting a book (beware reporters promoting books!), are taking advantage of an information vacuum to spin up scare stories on X. Please don’t fall for them." I ain't worried yet; but then I said that about the China virus, too. cdrsalamander @cdrsalamander, "There are few things Ma Deuce can't do. When in doubt, mount a M2 on it...or add more."

Sky Sentinels are already undergoing combat testing around Kharkiv."

iPolitics, Canada falls far behind U.S. on living standards and other key economic indicators. "Fractious Canada-U.S. trade relations remain headline news.

DC_Draino @DC_Draino, "For decades, the communists were quietly infiltrating the halls of power. Obama supercharged their insurgency and prepped the cultural battlefield.

Byron York @ByronYork, "The political path of the Cornell rape allegation: 1) Initial police/DA investigation finds woman's participation was "voluntary, conscious, and consensual." No criminal charges filed. 2) Cornell University Office of Civil Rights investigation reaches finding consistent with police/DA, but concludes fraternity members violated school policies. Expels two frat members, suspends two others, bars one from campus, and shuts down fraternity permanently. 3) Seemingly settled, case fades. 4) Woman changes story, files much-publicized lawsuit blaming incident on fraternity, members, Cornell University, local bar, and her own sorority. 5) Case explodes politically. Local DA re-opens criminal investigation. NY governor appoints AG Letitia James, famous for pursuing President Trump, as special prosecutor. 6) Media narrative emerges blaming Trump for alleged "glorification of being thuggish and swaggering and mistreating women is kind of making you a cool kid.""
