The DSA Plans To Incite Violence Ahead Of 2028 Election

 "The reported DSA-linked planning treats the Insurrection Act as a trap that works only if Trump walks into it on their timetable and terms."

The Federalist

"Over on X, DataRepublican’s reporting on documents and recordings from the Democratic Socialists of America and allied networks lays out a calculated strategy for the run-up to the 2028 elections. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.

"Groups including the United Democracy Alliance, invoking Erica Chenoweth’s 3.5 percent rule, appear ready to coordinate the street actions, legal support, and media framing. Neville Roy Singham, operating from Shanghai and connected to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, is positioned to amplify the disruption from abroad.

"The plan assumes Trump will choose immediate order over patience, and hand his opponents the optics they have prepared. Whether that assumption holds depends on the costs of each path.

"Policing power in America is overwhelmingly local. The FBI fields about 13,700 special agents nationwide. The New York Police Department alone has more than 34,700 sworn officers. A president can protect federal property, personnel, and functions without becoming the default response for every city whose leaders have weakened policing and tolerated disorder. Broader federal action is also available. Both options carry consequences, and progressive networks are organized to contest either one.

"One set of costs is political. Invoking the Insurrection Act and placing federalized National Guard or active-duty forces in law-enforcement roles inside Democratic cities would supply the “fascism” narrative. Local Democratic officials who have criticized aggressive policing and treated destructive unrest as legitimate expression would likely resist or litigate the deployment. That resistance would become part of the story." . . . More.

Don't Take Marriage Advice From Celebrities and Influencers

Intellectual Takeout   

"Women who hang on the words of celebrities like Cooper or Bush will discover too late that these women’s romantic lives are anything but the model for happiness."

"In a recent episode of the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy,” host Alex Cooper interviews Sophia Bush, an actress who is now married to a woman after divorcing her husband in the summer of 2023. Bush and Cooper offered some pretty terrible advice to female audience members who are having second thoughts about ending their marriage.

“We can get really, really in our heads about … maybe I shouldn’t leave this marriage because can I even get [someone] better?” Cooper said.

“Yes! The answer is always yes,” Bush responded. “This idea that it’s too late, or you’re too old, or who are you to want more, that’s patriarchy. That is crazy.”

"It’s sad to think that a podcast as popular as “Call Her Daddy” has undoubtedly influenced many women to make regrettable decisions in their dating and married lives. This episode may have finally convinced a woman whose marriage has lost its “spark” that she needs to leave her husband, raise her children in a broken home, and throw herself at the dating market afresh in her 30s or 40s. Under very limited circumstances, this is a terrible idea, yet Bush insists with ill-gotten confidence that the question of whether to divorce one’s husband is “always yes.”

"Bush’s previous marriage lasted barely over a year. She met her now “wife” at a support group for divorcees. Cooper, who is vocal about her past sexual exploits, married just over two years ago, but with such a low view of the bonds of marriage, the odds are high that she will decide that divorce is the better option. After all, the answer is always yes." . . . More.

Schiff: Dem Oversight Could Led to Trump's Impeachment

 Breitbart  

"But it should be with an eye to improving the quality of life for the American people.”

"Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said if Democrats win back control of Congress, an impeachment of President Donald Trump is possible.

"Host Kristen Welker said, “Let me ask you about a big debate right now inside the Democratic party. If Democrats do win back control of Congress, it’s about impeachment. You, of course, led the first impeachment of President Trump back in 2019. As we sit here today, Senator, do you believe that President Trump has committed impeachable offenses?”

"Schiff said, “I feel the same way I did early in the Russia investigation, which is you don’t prejudge the outcome before you even do the oversight. And so what I’m suggesting that we do is, first of all, focus on exactly what we’re campaigning on. And that is—our primary focus needs to be on bringing costs down. So our oversight should focus on that. It should focus on the corruption that is driving costs up. If that corruption leads in the direction of impeachment, it will lead wherever it leads. But we should put our overriding emphasis not on impeachment, but on bringing the cost down for the American people, on our affirmative agenda, on our oversight agenda, yes, our investigative agenda. But it should be with an eye to improving the quality of life for the American people.” . . .

Burning cars, meet CBS’s vocabulary department: X users roast the word ‘scuffles’ in Paris reporting

From the Ali Velshi School of Journalism:

The Daily Bo Snerdley

SPARE ME THE BS (I’ve got things to do).

• CBS’s October 17 X post described Paris clashes as ‘scuffles’ involving small groups, drawing ridicule over images of fires and destruction.
• The post was deleted; its roundup featured users mocking the wording with car-fire jokes and insurance-company sarcasm.
• Independent reporting documented arson, looting and attacks on police. CBS’s current article also describes serious violence.

LAY IT ON ME (I’ve got time).

CBS News handed its critics a one-word punchline for the weekend’s violence in Paris: scuffles.

An October 17 X post, preserved in contemporaneous coverage, began: “Scuffles broke out Saturday in Paris,” and referred to “small groups of protesters.” Readers looking at the burning-car imagery were considerably less delicate.

On Sunday CBS had deleted the post. A Twitchy roundup captured the reaction, with users treating the wording as a fresh entry in the media’s euphemism sweepstakes.

One particularly sharp response came from the account Super Journalist (Retired), @Magnum_CK: “Imagine calling your insurance company and telling them your car was torched during a scuffle.”

Try that one with the claims adjuster." . . .
