That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and will move along with my day.
“Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction,” continued Krasner. “Do you hear me, ICE agents? Do you hear me, National Guard? Do you hear me, military?”
He sounds completely nuts.
Not as nuts as threatening to mobilize the Guard to expel ICE.
They’re all bug-fuck crazy.
And the teevee is overflowing with bug-fuck crazy – mostly AWFLs screaming themselves hoarse. And every Dem pols egging it on.
It’s a game of retard chicken.
“And the teevee is overflowing with bug-fuck crazy – mostly AWFLs screaming themselves hoarse.”
They are expressing rage that one of their number was held accountable for something. Hopefully they’ll burn off all that rage standing on random streetcorners and yelling at passersby. Far better that than FAFO, which I think they’ll back off of for a while.
Sounds?
I don’t think it’s entirely clear that the President can’t pardon state crimes. The Constitution is silent on it, and one notable precedent is (if memory serves) Washington pardoning a bunch of people for state and federal crimes after the Whiskey Rebellion.
Isn’t anything military in military court?
Common Tater:
Most of the rebels weren’t in the military, nor is ICE.
He is saying “Do you hear me, military?”
1.) red states can refuse to extradite him
2.) feds can just easily request to move the case to fed court and just dismiss the charges
3.) best case scenario for the insane left is that they wait until they control the executive again and then charge him either state or federal
How do get the Insurrection Act invoked? That’s how. Hopefully this remains a lot of big talk and bluster because not cooperating with the feds is one thing, actively arresting them is another.
Democrats reverting to the John Calhoun era.
This. Everyone involved from the arresting officer up to the Mayor and Governor gets arrested and prosecuted for insurrection and interfering with a Federal investigation.
Huh. It just dawned on me that we’re seeing the Democrats (once again) getting close to secession. Just for a different group of slaves this time.
“Just another 750,000 deaths, and we will finally reach utopia!”
Lon Horiuchi says Hi.
I’m certain Krasner, if he knew about the Horiuchi case, cheered Horiuchi on.
“To expand abortion even later in the pregnancy and make it impossible to restrict (Virginia already allows most abortion up to 26 weeks — the most permissive in the entire South)”
It should be up at least be up to working age. Which is around five.
“and ban anyone under the age of 21 from possessing a modern rifle”
Didn’t SCOTUS rule against that already?
Every time it has to be re-litigated is a few more years of ban.
“Another Helmer gem would require schools to “describe the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol as an unprecedented, violent attack on United States democratic institutions, infrastructure, and representatives for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.””
Require schools to describe Dan Helmer as a commie rat-faced war criminal who pees sitting down.
Can’t handle a rifle until 21? Then too stupid, feeble, or whatever to vote either.
“‘They just kept killing’: Eyewitnesses describe deadly crackdown in Iran”
Why are people surprised evil monsters that need to bring in brutal fucks from outside to commit their evil, would go to this length to keep power? When your ideology is about power, you have no problem doing evil shit to get your way. See the left/globalist marxists and the history of that sort of scumbags.

If yu were wondering why the left got so bent out of shape about DOGE stopping fraud, you should no longer have any doubt after the recent revelations of MN & CA…
Let’s not overlook that the Repubs in Congress were, shall we say, unenthusiastic about defunding the fraud that DOGE found.
The Dems have their grifts, the Reps have theirs.

“DHS Launches Fraud Investigation Into Minnesota Refugee Program
The left is basically looting the country coffers. There exists an entire shadow economy that exists only because of some $2 trillion a year being stolen from us tax payers. This shit is happening in every blue state to one degree or another. And the crooks have an army of idiots that risk death to help them keep that racket, all so the idiots making up that army can feel their lives have meaning. True life losers all around.
It’s happening in every state nationwide. It’s just that red states try to root it out while blue states cover it up.
The Democrats don’t see it as fraud. That’s just the price they are willing to charge the rest of us to create a permanent majority. They will protect their racket with violence.
I think this (10% of the Federal Budget being lost to fraud) is a low estimate. Congress, the DOJ, and Trump should be focused on nothing else.
https://x.com/i/status/2011028265339621634
Elon predicts at least 20%, and probably more, of the federal budget services fraud.
Musk, in his last Joe Rogan appearance, said that the most shocking thing to Musk was the pushback he got from Republicans on cutting fraud. The reason? Fraud benefits them too. Musk said there is truth to the Uniparty criticism.
John Rocker is now investigating fraudulent daycare tax payer ripoffs. Who has that on their 2026 bingo card?

“and ban anyone under the age of 21 from possessing a modern rifle”
We here in Virginia have long known the onerous gun restriction bills were coming, and wil sail through both houses of the General Assembly and be immediately signed by loathsome swamp creature Gov Spanberger.
But the hope is that they will overreach, badly, and get smacked down hard by SCOTUS in a sweeping ruin that makes Heller and Bruen look weak.
I’m wondering when passing these blatantly unconstitutional laws will be prosecuted as a conspiracy to violate civil rights.
Never and never
Qualified Immunity for protecting the Will of the People!!! [Two loathsome concepts brought together.]
You appear to still have some belief in the law.
When the US finally collapses int civil war and informal tribunals are convened, but two blocks over there will be competing tribunals hanging people for dead naming, and in the other direction a firefight between the Islamic State in Virginia and the revived Klan will be raging over who gets to attack the Jewish enclave first.

Your mouth to god’s ears, RC.
My ridiculous pet fantasy has always been that black-letter-unconstitutional statutes (anti-2A gets the most replay in my mind) are on their faces insurrections, and that those legislatures/judges/etc. could see arrest (at best) for it.
Never, but it should.
How long did Jim Crow persist even after the Constitution was amended?
The 14th Amdt was gutted by the Supreme Court in Plessey which legitimized Jim Crow. Even Brown v. Board of Education didn’t directly overturn Plessey, it side-stepped it. It wasn’t until the CRA of ’64 that Jim Crow was actually legally put to rest.
Naturally the ABA lobby has a carve out.
“In addition, the Education Department has proposed no longer classifying fields such as nursing and accounting as professional degrees. That means students in those fields wouldn’t be able to borrow as much for graduate school as those pursuing dentistry, law and medicine.”
https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/student-college-loan-changes-53d489c5?st=FFYz8f&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
I was unaware that it was illegal to lend much money to somebody who isn’t pursuing a professional degree.
I suspect it’s that there are programs that give more to “professional” degree candidates.
The change restricts the amount available through federal student loans, which should be $0 for all majors.
Or someone that has no intention or ability to repay the loan.
The Brother-In-Law Rule.
/Charlie Brown
Medicine but not nursing makes no sense.
Distinction between 4 year terminal degree career and graduate school.
You can be licensed in accounting and nursing with a 4 year degree. Not so with medicine and law. Although in the days long past you didn’t need graduate school or even college for law.
On the other hand nurses belong to a union, which counts against being professionals.
I’ve often remarked to Mrs. Sensei, RN that if nurses want to be “professionals” they don’t get to be in unions. Pick one.
She didn’t used to agree with me, but now does.
If you are not self-employed, with your own name on the sign, you do not count as a professional and are merely a highly educated wage slave.
That said, there should be $0 of government monies involved.
“Distinction between 4 year terminal degree career and graduate school.”
Masters in nursing are very common.
“Masters in nursing are very common.”
Yes. And last I read they weren’t happy. But you can still “nurse” without masters. You can’t “doctor” with a biology or anatomy degree you need graduate school.
The whole thing is typical government.
Accounting (CPA) has been 5 for nearly 25 years.

“Speaking on the “John Solomon Reports” podcast this week, Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., touted the importance of a planned bill to make convicted fraudsters of foreign origins eligible for deportation and denaturalization. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., has sponsored the measure in the upper chamber.”
Deporting non-citizens is one thing, but denaturalization is stupid both in theory (one crime, but not others) and practice (if someone is in prison, they can’t re-enter the country).
I can see some justifications for denaturalizing citizens. Certainly for fraud in their visa or citizenship applications, but I suspect somewhere in their oath of citizenship is something that is violated by certain crimes, at least.
https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learn-about-citizenship/the-naturalization-interview-and-test/naturalization-oath-of-allegiance-to-the-united-states-of-america
As an aside:
What’s interesting, as I look at this, is it is completely incompatible with dual citizenship, which I think should be abolished anyway.
Eh, I have a friend, whom both he and his wife are American’s born abroad, with one parent being non-American. Both have dual citizenship. In that case, I agree with it. But, no adult who is naturalized should be allowed to do this.
“Certainly for fraud in their visa or citizenship applications”
That would be different. They are referring to financial fraud.
Tater, I agree that fraud after citizenship should not be a cause for denaturalization. Fraud or crime during the naturalization process, whether with the application or fraud/violence etc. should be acceptable for a court to examine for denaturalization.
Well this dude has aged quite rapidly from his grafting and power grabbing run.

People should be watching this case as an example of what TEAM BLUE is going to do to Trump come January 2029.
Before or after he declares martial law and tries to block the legislature from meeting?
I’d argue it doesn’t matter. I’ve been listening to KBS World, and the case has been giving me really strong revenge vibes.
Think the state judges who tried to claim J6 was an insurrection and therefore Trump was ineligible to be on the ballot.

“She works by day as a mental health professional…” because of course she does.
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
There’s nothing illegal about following and recording the actions of law enforcement.
Oof.
Something I’m curious about – have any of these ‘direct actions’ actually prevented or substantially impeded a legal deportation action?
“Something I’m curious about – have any of these ‘direct actions’ actually prevented or substantially impeded a legal deportation action?”
Yes, which is way more than recording the actions of law enforcement.
Did Joan of Arc defeat the English?
Examples?
I’d like to have more of a handle on whether this trend is real substantial interference, or mostly performative noisemaking by purple-haired karens…
Here’s a thought:
Maybe the feds should hire Rent-A-Crowd themselves, to drive black SUVs around where the lefty scum are active. You know, chaff to blind their radar.
That’s an interesting thought. Possible idea for a right-wing counter-protest? Rent some black SUVs, jock up in the tactical cosplay gear, and just drive around in ‘ICE Warrior’ areas?
Performative noise making that blocks traffic is substantive interference.
Flood the zone, so to speak. Maybe deputize a shit load of feds to go out and drive around.
Maybe. I’d like to see some numbers.
Part of this question is surprise that the feds are, seemingly, letting themselves get punked so easily.
RC Dean:
I’m reminded of this story from the autumn: https://www.dailyfreeman.com/2025/10/10/woodstock-residents-mistook-3-seeking-to-celebrate-birthday-for-ice-supervisor-says/
“Part of this question is surprise that the feds are, seemingly, letting themselves get punked so easily.”
I think that may finally be changing. I’m seeing that the feds are getting more aggressive with arresting people. Using a vehicle to interfere with federal law enforcement is a federal felony, after all. No Soros prosecutors and judges in the food chain for those.
“Maybe. I’d like to see some numbers.”
I would say it’s evaluated on an individual basis. A single instance is substantive interference with that operation. There’s no numerical threshold nationwide that has to be crossed.
You know, if election rigging is so easy there should be no need at all for partisan gerrymandering. Just a thought.
You know, the gerrymander makes it easier by making people investigate the details less because “obviously the outcome would be…”
state-wide elections are easy enough to rig. district-wide elections are more problematic.
thus, you get both election rigging and gerrymandering.
Gerrymandering is a kind of election rigging.
Why do people own cars, when they can just walk to the store?
I just walked to the gastroenterologist yay
Think of it as an insurance policy.
Good Point, had not considered this.
Gerrymandering you have to do once every ten years, and requires only a relative handful of legislators
Ballot and counting fraud you have to do every election, and require, well, more than a handful of people.
Which really means the former is much easier than the latter.
If protection rackets are so easy, why does the mob stand up money laundering shells?
Anybody who really wants to accomplish something uses multiple vectors to get it.
“You know, if election rigging is so easy there should be no need at all for partisan gerrymandering. Just a thought.
Erm, gerrymandering IS a form of election rigging… How do you fail to see that?
Only because people are so reliable in their voting.
Always an excuse to excuse the corruption…
California can pass an initiative that sucks because of voters, not because of vote manipulation. That’s as true of Prop 13 as it is the most recent abomination supporting the mid-cycle redistricting. I can accept that we do have election process problems, but I don’t agree that most of our shitty results are due to that.
I live in a district that won’t elect a Democrat, period. Do you think that means our politics are healthy?
“California can pass an initiative that sucks because of voters, not because of vote manipulation. ”
I do not believe the CA voters have passed anything for real since their superior court violated the votes and struck down numerous efforts to stop the woke onslaught. Since the early 2000 there has not been a single legit vote in that state cause they ALL have been rigged. In blue states votes don’t matter. The vote counters do.
So that means the independent redistricting commission initiative was phony too? OK. Tin hat time.
I’m convinced that New Jersey elections are completely rigged. There isn’t an election cycle there without missing reports, busted voting machines, mystery votes added after poll closures, etc.
But it’s a “blue” state so they are getting the expected results and no need to investigate.
“But due to differences among states’ concealed-carry laws, even judges who can carry firearms in their home jurisdictions often can’t do so when they travel to others. Being unfamiliar with often complex gun laws in other jurisdictions, many judges often reluctantly leave their weapons at home when traveling.”

Simplest fix – constitutional carry for all. It’s clearly outside the pruview of the government to dictate when you can exercise your rights.
I’ve always thought that strict gun control should apply exclusively to elected and appointed government officials.
They can defend themselves by not being entitled unaccountable assholes in their day jobs.
I can get behind this.
What ever happened to the full faith and credit clause?
Ignored, like most other laws.
Depends, gay marriage got the red carpet, since it was right there in the constitution. Guns, which we are unclear how the founders felt, not so much.
I just watched a movie called “Anniversary” – it was an AWFUL recruitment/propeganda film. The only plot I could discern from this mess of a movie was only angry white liberals can save us, if only we open our eyes to their incoherent rantings in time to be saved.
Was it one of those Obama productions?
But what it reminds me of are all of the stupid hippy movies made after about 1968. Just dreck, but it kept the dream alive for some.
The best films about American politics come from Polish directors, it is known.
“State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins buoyed their hopes last week by calling to pass NY4All, which would stop all police and state employees from working with immigration authorities.

Do you remember, years ago, when the NRA got in trouble for calling ATF agents ‘jackbooted government thugs?’
Pepperidge Farm remembers…
Well it’s bad until it benefits your own side, then it’s good. It’ll be bad again given the right circumstances.
In fairness, the NRA was echoing a certain Democrat (John Dingell).
All, apparently, doesn’t include people who support Trump administration immigration policy.
“In war, both sides have weapons. Here, people only chant and get killed. It is a one-sided war.”
But remember, the gun grabbers are only interested in public safety.
“Here, people only chant and get killed.”
And launch explosives/throw firebombs. And set ambushes for the feds.
I wish the Iranians had firebombs and explosives so that they could ambush the regime forces.
It’s been a pretty low intensity war thus far. I don’t think it quite qualifies although the usual gangs of idiots will continue to cosplay like there’s one.
Ok, guys that quote is about Iran not wine Karen attacking ICE.
Ah, got it. I assumed it was a response to the ICE Watch bint catching a bullet.
Well damn, I blame myself. No wait, I blame R C.
Call me crazy, but there are some coincidences here. Trump meets with Netenyahu and the Iran rhetoric immediately ramps up. Their currency takes a dump and some relatively mild protests over inflation and the economy break out.
Then those protests get violent morph into regime change color revolution actions (hello CIA) all of a sudden while Lindsey Graham gets a.massive war boner.
It all seems contrived.
I have a very hard time believing these people really want a Pahlavi restoration. That’s what stinks the most to me.
Yes, that is laughable.
“Let’s go back to the good old Savak days we rebelled against in 79.”
^^^^. This.
I don’t know what changed Trump into president warboner, but I’m not impressed with this shift in focus. I don’t give a shit about a revolution halfway around the world. Kick out the illegals, clamp down on slave labor immigration into the US, put a dagger into the heart of woke, cut spending, and start incentivizing what worked for thousands of years until the bolsheviks took over our culture in the 60s.

Can we maybe find common ground? The elimination of ICE for the elimination of the ATF and TSA?
No. We still have millions of Illegals to round up and deport.
How about we abolish the ATF and TSA but give the former employees a bounty based contract where they get paid per Illegal verified captured and deported.
No. I’ll exchange ICE for the SSA and all welfare programs.
Or, we delete the SSA, welfare, the ATF, and the FBI.
Former Welfare recipients can get a bounty for each confirmed ilelgal captured and deported.
I’ve never gotten the impression that arresting and deporting illegals individually is making a real dent. Arresting and perp-walking the business owners that employ illegals, and the NGO managers that support them, would be a far more efficient way of solving the problem.
To that extent, I’d be willing to trade the ICE Enforcement and Removal branch for ATF and DHS.
Well, somehow at least a couple of million are no longer here (grain o’ salt – government numbers).
I think it’s a pour encourager les autres effect – lots of self-deportations.
Former Corsican separatist leader Alain Orsoni shot dead at mother’s funeral
Alain Orsoni, a former Corsican separatist leader and ex-president of AC Ajaccio football club, was killed by a sniper Monday as mourners gathered at his mother’s funeral in the village of Vero.
Orsoni, 71, was struck by a single bullet to the chest around 4:30 pm following the burial service, according to authorities.
Ajaccio prosecutor Nicolas Septe said the shot came from long range, fired from several hundred metres away. “He was hit in the heart by a single shot, a long-distance strike,” Septe told the French press.
His son Guy, born in 1984 and named after his slain uncle, is considered a prominent figure in Corsican organised crime.
Guy Orsoni was sentenced in May 2025 to 13 years in prison for attempting to assassinate Pascal Porri, a suspected member of the Petit Bar gang, in 2018. Guy Orsoni himself survived an assassination attempt in September 2018.

Who could have guessed she was bad with money?
You need to warn us to get our shocked faces ready before posting stuff like this.
It says shocking right in the headline!
You expect me to read comments? I go right to the story. That’s what we’re supposed to do, right?
Right?!?!
That was a $900k home?
Lori clearly didn’t spend all her money on a landscaper…
this feels like a threat

The scheme began to unravel when one of the stolen phones was sold intact rather than dismantled, according to prosecutors.
Federal prosecutors say a former House IT aide’s alleged scheme to steal and sell 240 government cellphones was uncovered when a buyer purchased one on eBay. (iStock)
That device ultimately ended up listed on eBay and was purchased by an uninvolved buyer. When the buyer powered on the phone for the first time, a contact number for the House of Representatives Technology Service Desk appeared on the screen, the DOJ said.
Yes, only the best and brightest go into government service. It seemed like a perfect plan.

I have a solution that will prevent anyone at UNESCO from ever encountering hate speech again.
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement has had critics since it first came into existence more than 20 years ago. Skepticism breached containment among immigration and civil-liberties activists when Trump came to power, and went mainstream during his “zero tolerance” policy, when federal agents began separating children from their parents at the southern border.”

Because Obama wasn’t doing that?
“A federal police force that is hypermilitarized, but with jurisdiction limited exclusively to immigration, will never resemble professional law enforcement. It will invariably attract white nationalists, who will both mete out violence against the population and subvert our democratic processes, including by taking actions designed to choose their own bosses.”
white nationalists!
This is fair. Just like teaching attracts kiddie diddlers, and local government attracts hysterical Karens, right?
“”Stephen Miller’s souped-up ICE is in the process of proving me correct about this right now, terrorizing blue cities (and only blue cities) while targeting and politicking against Democratic officeholders….immigration policing should once again become a largely administrative function, enforced by FBI agents and local cops—officers with broad remit, rather than narrow jurisdiction over immigration laws.”
Sanctuary cities don’t exist.

“The Expo event was part of ICE’s massive recruitment campaign for the foot soldiers it needs to execute the administration’s dream of a deportation campaign large enough to shift America’s demographic balance back whiteward. You’ve probably seen evidence of it yourself: ICE’s “Defend the homeland” propaganda is ubiquitous enough to be the Uncle Sam “I Want You” poster of our day, though somewhere in there our nation lost the plot about the correct posture toward Nazis.”

Organizers of Australia’s largest free literary festival canceled the event Tuesday after more than 180 writers and speakers withdrew over the scrapping of an appearance by an Australian-Palestinian writer and academic.
The uproar began when the board of the Adelaide Festival, which runs Adelaide Writers Week, announced on Jan. 8 that they had disinvited Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah from the event “given her previous statements” and citing cultural sensitivities “at this unprecedented time so soon after” an antisemitic mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
There was no suggestion that Abdel-Fattah or her writings “have any connection with the tragedy,” the board members added.
They didn’t cite any specific statements by the lawyer, academic and writer of fiction and nonfiction that prompted their decision. Abdel-Fattah decried the move as “censorship” and said the announcement suggested that her “mere presence” was culturally insensitive.
Who gives a shit?
They don’t have freedom of speech or association in Australia.
That is a lot of words to claim it isnt about you.
On the other hand, that board is dumb as shit cause unless her books have something buried deep in them, they are middle of the road fiction and non-fiction writings
A they want is a little respect.
Wait, people PAY to attend literary festivals?

Russia launched a second major drone and missile bombardment of Ukraine in four days, officials said Tuesday, aiming again at the power grid amid freezing temperatures in an apparent snub to U.S.-led peace efforts as Moscow’s invasion of its neighbor approaches the four-year mark.
Russia fired almost 300 drones, 18 ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles at eight regions overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on social media.
One strike in the northeastern Kharkiv region killed four people at a mail depot, and several hundred thousand households were without power in the Kyiv region, Zelenskyy said.
You want a ceasefire? Agree to a ceasefire.

In a reversal from previous years’ pollution reductions, the United States spewed 2.4% more heat-trapping gases from the burning of fossil fuels in 2025 than in the year before, researchers calculated in a study released Tuesday.
The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is attributable to a combination of a cool winter, the explosive growth of data centers and cryptocurrency mining and higher natural gas prices, according to the Rhodium Group, an independent research firm. Environmental policy rollbacks by President Donald Trump’s administration were not significant factors in the increase because they were only put in place this year, the study authors said. Heat-trapping gases from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas are the major cause of worsening global warming, scientists say.
If we’re pumping so much CO2 into the air, why is it so cold?
