Democrats finally shout FJB; Having lost the immigration war, they scapegoat their president

 Don Surber: Substack   

"Biden should take some blame. Sure, he’s just a Walter dummy sitting on Barack “Jeff Dunham” Obama’s lap, but even a dummy would know better than to do what Biden did."

........ 

   "On Thursday, September 2, 2021, students cheering on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in their football game against the Citadel Bulldogs began chanting, “F--k Joe Biden.”

"Coastal Carolina won 52–14.

"The Chanticleers chant posed a problem for Disney’s ESPN, which broadcast the game. I am pretty sure the sports channel’s managers hoped it would not spread. It did. The next night, Virginia Tech students picked up the chant in the Hokies game against UNC. Tech lost 17-10 but the chant spread nonetheless.

"Newsweek pointed out at the time:

Biden received criticism over the evacuation operation in Kabul, especially following the suicide attack at the airport which killed more than 180 people, including 13 U.S. service members.

A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that Biden’s approval rating now stands at 44%—a decline of eight points from May—while his disapproval rate is now at 51%, up nine points from the same period.

The survey also found that while 77% of Americans supported the U.S. withdrawing from Afghanistan, 60% of people disapproved of the way Biden handled it.

"Surrendering Afghanistan and enough military gear to make the Taliban great again unmasked his incompetence.

"The FJB chant spread across like illegal alien truck drivers—the difference being the chant’s presence is lawful and the chant never killed anyone. The chant knocked down Biden’s popularity." . . .   Much more here...

Navy Logbook Found 84 Years After Pearl Harbor Attack

 FOUNDERSCODE.COM...Denise Simon

"We need more feel-good stories than we think we do and here is one for you. History buffs and World War ll historians will love this one…  In full from the Military Times:

"One man’s trash is the National Archives’ treasure.

"After more than 80 years, an old logbook containing the initial descriptions of U.S. vessels after the Japanese attack on Navy Yard Pearl Harbor in 1941 was recovered, the National Archives recently announced. The logbook covers the 16 months before and after the attack that was the catalyst for the U.S. entry into World War II.

"Its whereabouts can be traced back to the moment it was plucked from a trash bin in the 1970s at the old Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino, California, by Oretta Kanady, The Washington Post first reported.

"In an interview with the Post, Kanady’s son, Michael William Bonds, said she found it in the bin while working as a civilian employee and thought it looked interesting. She asked if she could have it, and it remained in her possession until her death in 2000. Bonds then inherited it.

“In the last few years, I’ve moved here, moved there, it’s just been in a box,” Bond’s told The Post. “I hadn’t really looked at it.” . . .

"A fully digitized copy of the logbook is available online.". . . 

Members of the USS Arizona band, known as Navy Band Unit 22, perform on Nov. 22, 1941, in the semifinal round of the Battle of Music at Bloch Arena at Pearl Harbor. They finished second and advanced to a final competition that would never be held. Everyone in the band died onboard the Arizona during the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941.

. . . "The logbook covers the status of vessels in the yard during the period from March 1941 to June 1942, a period of extremely rapid and momentous events. During the time period when the first entries, the U.S. was on a peacetime footing and was in diplomatic talks with Japan; nine months later, Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entered the war; and by the end of the logbook, just seven months further on, the U.S. Navy won strategic victories at the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway, and was gearing up to retake the Solomon Islands.

"It also shows the Pearl Harbor yard’s essential work in repairing Navy warships after the Japanese attack, putting cruisers and destroyers back in the fight after severe damage. Within six months, the yard had taken in and redelivered the damaged battleships Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Tennessee; cruisers HonoluluHelena, and Raleigh; destroyers Helm and Shaw; and three auxiliaries, all fully repaired or patched up for transit for permanent repairs."   More here.

In Minnesota, Echoes of Failed Somali Experiment in Europe

"Immigration is judged by outcomes, not slogans. And the outcomes of the Somali experiment in Minnesota, in Scandinavia, in the United Kingdom echo with one conclusion the political class refuses to say aloud: the experiment has failed." The American Spectator


"There are scandals that explode with theatrical outrage, and there are scandals that settle over a nation like a quiet, damning verdict. Minnesota’s autism-therapy fraud belongs firmly in the latter category. On November 22, 2025, The Washington Post noted — with the weary delicacy that now accompanies every public-sector failure — that welfare fraud in Minnesota had become “far too common,” highlighting federal charges against eight men, six of them Somali, accused of exploiting the state’s Housing Stabilization Services program under Medicaid and helping force the program’s shutdown.

"But the autism-therapy empire  was something darker, and far more revealing. According to federal filings and local reporting, dozens of clinics — many Somali-owned — are under scrutiny for allegedly mass-producing autism diagnoses and billing Medicaid for therapy that never occurred. In one charging document, prosecutors describe a $14 million scheme centred on falsified treatment notes and kickbacks to parents, tied to defendant Asha Farhan Hassan, who is also charged in the Feeding Our Future food-aid fraud.

"That separate case has already produced more than 40 convictions and guilty pleas in what prosecutors call a $250 million conspiracy to fabricate child-meal claims and loot a federal nutrition program. Medicaid spending on autism services in Minnesota soared in just a few years, from relatively modest sums to hundreds of millions, as the number of providers exploded — a pattern that even sympathetic observers concede is impossible to explain as merely better detection of disability." . . . More...

Why STUPID People Are a Greater Threat to Society Than Criminals

Members of Congress routinely make inflammatory statements in congressional hearings to gain attention and cable news hits. But Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has managed to become a perpetual content machine. Her profanity-laced tirades against Elon Musk provide plenty of fodder for both MSNBC and Fox News. In 2023, Crockett went viral when she attacked Republicans’ introduction of articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden at one hearing, holding up photos from Trump’s indictment of classified documents stored in his bathroom at Mar-a-Lago. “These are our national secrets, looks like in the shitter to me!” she said.
Last May, she and Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got into a colorful spat during a hearing, during which Crockett suggested Taylor Greene had a “bleach blond bad built butch body.” Not long after, Crockett filed a trademark on the phrase and used it to start her own merchandise collection, branding her dig as “A Crockett Clapback.”



Many more at the above link, but I have chosen Crockett because she is the most inclined of the others, Republicans and Democrats listed, to split this nation into race war; a perfect mate for Joy Reid. TD

. . . "Now, I'm not going to assume that she's going to tank big time. As we saw with the New York City mayoral race, there appears to be no low that Democrats won't vote for. But this is Texas." . . . 
“We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.” —George Orwell

Bosnia didn’t fall apart because it was Balkan. It fell apart because it was polarized.

 AFNN   

"Bosnia didn’t collapse because people were evil. It collapsed because people were convinced the other side was."


. . . "But Bosnia’s collapse wasn’t ancient history.
"It wasn’t a medieval tribal feud.
"It wasn’t inevitable.
"It was a functional, modern, educated society that disintegrated in less than two years — not because of poverty, not because of famine, not because of foreign invasion — but because its political factions became so polarized that neighbors stopped seeing each other as citizens and started seeing each other as enemies.
"The warning for America is brutally simple:
"Bosnia didn’t fall apart because it was Balkan.
"It fell apart because it was polarized.
"That’s the part nobody wants to talk about.
"What actually happened in Bosnia — factually, historically
"Before the war:
• Bosnia had intermarriage.
• Mixed towns.
• Shared businesses.
• Shared schools.
• Shared military service.
"Sarajevo was called “the Jerusalem of Europe” because Muslims, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians lived together peacefully for generations.
"Then politics hardened.
"Parties radicalized.
"Each group began to believe the others were existential threats." . . . Read more...

The Welcome Demise of Climate Change Catastrophism

"The public has grown skeptical, especially when faced with real problems like the cost of living."

 The American Spectator  

" . . . that’s a sign that the days of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth propaganda documentary and John Kerry’s “special presidential envoy for climate” globe-trotting vanity gig are officially over.

Having Solved Climate Change, Greta Thunberg Turns Attention To Middle East Peace

. . . "You thought I could only tackle climate change? How dare you!" Thunberg said as she sternly admonished reporters gathered at an anti-Israel protest in Malmo, Sweden. "Nothing can withstand the onslaught of Greta Thunberg. All those who stand in my path will be destroyed." . . . Babylon Bee

"Is the American Left finally waking up from its decades-long climate catastrophism stupor? For years, climate alarmism has reigned as political catechism: The planet is burning, and only drastic action — deindustrialization, draconian regulation, even ceasing childbearing — could forestall certain apocalypse. Now, at least some signs are emerging that both the broader public and leading liberal voices may be recoiling from the doom and gloom." . . .

". . . "The climate alarm machine — powered by the twin engines of moral panic and groupthink homogeneity — is sputtering. When the public grows skeptical, when billionaire techno-philanthropists question the prevailing consensus, and when supposedly mainstream scientific projections reverse course, that’s a sign that the days of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth propaganda documentary and John Kerry’s “special presidential envoy for climate” globe-trotting vanity gig are officially over.

"Ultimately, no one stands to benefit more from this incipient trend toward climate sanity than the American people themselves. In an era where optimism can be hard to come by, the professed certitude of imminent environmental apocalypse is pretty much the least helpful thing imaginable. If one is seeking to plant the seeds of hope, nothing could be worse than lecturing to the masses that one is a climate change-“denying” misanthrope if he has the temerity to take his family on an airplane for a nice vacation or — egad! — entertain thoughts of having more children. Even more to the point, given the overwhelming evidence that Americans are now primarily concerned about affordability and the cost of living, more — not less — hydrocarbon extraction has never been more necessary." . . .

Read Derek Chauvin’s New Petition … And Weep For American Justice

Sadly for Officer Chauvin, he has no young Gen Z women adoring him as does Luigi Mangione. 

"For Derek Chauvin, it’s a case that tragically has not only ended a career distinguished by multiple commendations, but any prospect of freedom in the near future."

. . . "The conventional conservative pundit play at this point: join calls for the verdict to be vacated and for Chauvin to receive a fair trial with excluded evidence presented to the jury, false statements corrected, and improper expert testimony disallowed.

"But this commentator will instead posit a brutal near-certainty: regardless of the passage of time and the seeming mountain of evidence of Chauvin’s innocence – and even of prosecutorial misconduct – no court will act to vacate his conviction and grant a new trial, or even grant the fallback request of fresh evidentiary hearings.

"Because no judge wants to take on the extraordinary burden of potentially lighting the fuse that ignites a new season of coast-to-coast riots in the name of “attack(ing) some of the core beliefs and structures of cisheteropatriarchal racial capitalist society.”

"In essence, Chauvin – sacrificed on the altar of economic and racial “justice” to appease BLM-inflamed mobs – will remain the victim not of a heckler’s but a hooligans’ veto.

"But even rampaging and plundering may not be necessary. Simply dropping the race card, and thereby creating the prospect of being smeared as bigots in the media, was reportedly sufficient to intimidate Department of Education officials in the selfsame Land of 10,000 Lakes to greenlight continued payments to Somali groups despite the discovery of hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud.

"Any jurist considering providing real justice to the wrongly convicted law enforcement officer will be certain to be the target of bitter invective spewed by professional grifters, accompanied by systematic character assassination via cynical politicians, bought-and-paid-for social media influencers, and lapdog journalists." . . .

How the Left Turned Chauvin Into a Racist Killer  "Although he made up his mind before jury did, President Joe Biden quickly went public once he learned that the Minneapolis jury had, in fact, convicted former police officer Derek Chauvin on all charges.

" 'It was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism the vice president just referred to — the systemic racism that is a stain on our nation’s soul.” So said the only president to have given a eulogy at the funeral of an Exalted Klan Cyclops, and that just 10 years before Floyd’s death.

"The comments by Biden, endorsed by the media, frame The Overton Window on George Floyd’s death and Derek Chauvin’s verdict. The only acceptable public opinion is that Chauvin intentionally caused Floyd’s death. If proof were needed, former NFL great Brett Favre was tarred and feathered on Twitter for haplessly suggesting otherwise." . . . 

"To justify $2 billion of damages and dozens of lives lost, the Democrat-media complex needed a cause as epic as the damage. The State and its allies had to overcharge all four of the officers. They had to turn Chauvin from a veteran cop, who may or may not have made an error of judgment in the final moments of Floyd’s life, into a villain. They had to turn the career criminal George Floyd into a secular saint. And, finally, they had to elevate an unintentional death into a racist murder.  If there was “stain on a nation’s soul,” Joe, it was the trial."

How sad the evil that possessed the ignorant youth and academics in the streets, the evil race hustlers like Maxine Waters, the reprehensible, cowardly press championed by such as Joy Reid and other MSNBC clones; made most manifest by the Democrats in Congress and their tool, Joe Biden. TD

Threatening to Prosecute Your Opponents When They Give Up Power Is a Bad Idea

 Kurt Schlichter   

"Maybe we will break apart. It's becoming hard to justify remaining in a country with people who despise us, as well as exploit us. But that's not good."


. . . "All the Democrats out there announcing that as soon as they get power, they're going to use the full weight of government to prosecute anybody who had anything to do with the Donald Trump administration reminds me of a historical analogue. They won't recognize it because most of them don't believe that history started until 1619, or maybe when Barack Obama got elected, and anything occurring before then was just dead white men doing dead white men stuff that doesn't matter. But you know, it totally matters whether they like it or not." . . .

. . . "Yeah, I know, that's crazy talk, which is crazy, and stop being crazy, you crazy guy. But then again, I'm not the one out there threatening to prosecute anybody who participates in any policy that the Democrats don't like. I'm just the guy who notices. Luckily, the Trump administration has noticed too, and it's not playing along. It's not giving in. It's not backing down. Nor should we as citizens play along, give in, or back down. Our enemies are evil, but they're also stupid, and they don't understand human nature, nor do they know history. They somehow think that they can intimidate us and shame us into submission, into giving up our right to participate in our own governance and allowing them to rule over us in perpetuity. That's not going to happen. That's not in the cards. They're playing a very dangerous game.

"Now, Julius Caesar was famously kind to his enemies. He showed mercy to most of the people who opposed him during the Roman Civil War he fought and won. Of course, it was the same people he showed mercy to who ended up stabbing him to death. That's another lesson of history, but one that we need to learn. And when we learn it, it's not going to go well for the enemies who force us to protect ourselves from the oppression they promise to impose upon us.

"But there's hope. It's not too late to not repeat history. I'm just not optimistic that the Left is not so dumb and malicious that it will stumble into a catastrophe.". . . 

Pearl Harbor Day From CNN and MS...um....somethingorother


Babylon Bee: CNN Reports On 'Deadly Boat Accident' At Pearl Harbor  

"HONOLULU, HI - CNN and other mainstream news outlets are reporting on a "tragic, completely accidental" boating accident at Pearl Harbor. As details still come in, CNN is urging people to not rush to judgment or assign blame until the story goes away in a few days. 

:"Such a tragic and completely accidental boating accident," said one news anchor. "The thing that's so sad about it is the tragic, totally random accidentalness of it. Our hearts are with the victims and whatever. Anyway, in other news..." 

"Independent journalists from the scene are sending messages that this was an intentional attack by the Empire of Japan that was designed to inflict as much destruction and casualty as possible. Such messages have been dismissed as unfounded and racist, and likely linked to recent increases in anti-Asian hate crimes. 

" 'We do not need to investigate this any further, or talk about it ever again, as it was an accident," said the local Police Chief in a press conference. "Any talk of motive is unhelpful at this time. I think what's really important is allowing our Pearl Harbor community to heal." 

"CNN then quickly transitioned to a news story about the latest Cary Grant movie."

Documenting a Disaster: The WW1 Combat Cameraman (No AI)

Battle Guide  "Using a WW1 combat cameraman's diary and trench maps, this Battle Guide video precisely recreates a single day's filming. Original footage is overlaid on modern maps and drone shots. Experience the Battle of the Somme through a unique and perilous perspective." . . .

"These haunting battlefield scenes may well be the most recognisable footage of the First World War: men huddled in a sunken road, troops waiting to go “over the top,” a massive mine erupting under enemy trenches, and wounded men being rescued from no-man’s-land, but, did you know, it was all captured under fire by a single cameraman on a single day. "Join us as we follow that one man, using his own diary entries, matched precisely with trench maps, modern terrain footage, and the original film he shot, we’ll retrace his steps and investigate what he captured on the infamous opening day of the Battle of the Somme."


From the comments to this video:
"This is gold! I've seen this footage in piecemeal spread across various presentations without ever knowing where these places were. Like the scene with the men in the "sunken road." I never knew that footage was part of the Somme or that it had the name "sunken road." As a writer, I search for the littlest details in everything I write, so when I can see someone else pulling out details like that in a video, it's priceless. You put the actual trench lines to the current topography and you can still see where there are areas following trenches: the tree line in one place seems to just hug it like it can't grow any farther. I can understand why this was your hardest; this is also the most personal. Names and dates attached to faces. These aren't casualty numbers that get lost in history books: these are human beings. You did your part to keep them alive, to keep them human in a war that dehumanized and erased people by the thousands. Thank you!"

Beaumont-Hamel
The 1st Newfoundland Regiment was ordered in battle at the village of Beaumont-Hamel at the start of the Battle of the Somme, and at 07:30 on 1st July a coordinated attack on the German lines began.

Patty Murray BRUTALLY 'Introduced' to Illegal She's Been Defending and Fighting for and ...

 Twitchy


"Patty Murray is furious that one of her so-called constituents was bitten by an ICE agent's dog and then VIOLENTLY DRAGGED AWAY.

"She wants him released immediately."  She stated:

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away. I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.   . . . — @PattyMurray (@Senator Patty Murray) Dec 4, 2025

We shouldn’t reward Russia with a ‘peace’ that leaves Ukraine carved up and helpless

Douglas Murray  

"And that unless Russia is deterred from doing so, President Vladimir Putin will simply wait for President Trump to leave office and come back and try to take the country all over again. After all, if he keeps being rewarded for his aggression, why wouldn’t he?"

"Despite President Trump’s calls for the fighting to stop, Russia this week again stepped up its war against Ukraine.
"On Wednesday, Russian forces fired X-101 cruise missiles at sites in western Ukraine.
"This is far from the east of the country, where most of the fighting has been taking place since the full-scale Russian invasion of February 2022.
"The targets for Wednesday’s strikes included not just energy infrastructure sites, but residential buildings in the city of Ternopil.
"Not least apartment tower blocks where dozens of residents were killed and wounded." . . .


. . . "You have to marvel at the logic — as well as the manners — of these people.
"On the one hand, they accuse Jews who live in their historic homeland of being “settlers.”
"On the other, they scream abuse at Jews in every country outside Israel.
"Surely, in the process, making more Jews want to move to Israel.
"After all, if you are going to scream at, and urge violence against, Jews in the middle of Manhattan, can you be surprised if some of them might want to move?
"Particularly to somewhere where they might be better protected?
"It reminds me of those charming students at Columbia University who chased Jews across campus last year shouting, “Go back to Poland.”
"When there were a lot of Jews in Poland, those same Jews would be told to “go back home” to the Middle East.
"It really is almost as though some people don’t want Jews to exist anywhere at all, isn’t it? . .
