The Left's Assassination Cult Welcomes The 'Mangionistas'

"The left’s lust for political violence, its hero-worship of assassins, has exploded with Trump Derangement Syndrome."

 The Federalist 

 "And taxpayer-funded universities are mass producers of radicals, some bent on violence to achieve their left-wing agenda. Or as Joe Rogan once called U.S. higher education, “cult camps'”

. . . "Meet ‘The Mangionistas’  "As alleged cold-blooded killer Luigi Mangione appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday, three of his biggest groupies “covered” the hearing. Abril Rios, Ashley Rojas, and Lena Weissbrot, the self-styled “Mangionistas” incredibly received press passes from the office of their good Marxist friend, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. ". . . 

. . . "The fangirls used their coveted press access to justify homicide for the good of their political cause and to celebrate the December 2024 murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare. 

“F— Brian Thompson, I don’t give a flying f— he died,” Rojas told the New York Daily News in a now-viral video. 

“His children are better off without him,” Weissbrot heartlessly told reporters outside the court. “They need to learn to not be like their dad — and enjoy the blood money.”

"Interestingly, Rios zealously served in the volunteer campaign cult for Mamdani known as “Hot Girls for Zohran.” The influencer and model works as a social media manager for Ali Design & Consulting Services in New York, according to her LinkedIn account. The leftist digital marketing firm boasts that it has “a passion for justice, equity, and inclusion.” Its clients include the Unity & Justice Fund, which contributed $100,000 to Mamdani’s super PAC, according to the California Globe. The Unity & Justice Fund is the political fundraising arm of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a nonprofit organization with alleged ties to Hamas, according to InfluenceWatch." . . .  More...

The American Left Is In Thrall To Political Violence  . . . "As always, the people saying this pretend it’s a “both sides” problem, that the political left and right are both at risk of becoming dangerously violent, and that for the sake of our democracy we all need to calm down.

"What nonsense. There is only one side in America today that has a persistent and very real-world problem with political violence, and everyone knows it’s the left.

"It’s the left that has produced four would-be assassins of President Trump. It’s the left that produced Charlie Kirk’s assassin and the sneering online hordes who celebrated his murder. It’s the left that produced Luigi Mangione, who allegedly killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood, and overnight became a folk hero to his fellow travelers.

"The left riots and burns down cities in a way that makes Jan. 6 look tame, and the corporate press justifies it as a form of political speech. The left regularly threatens conservative speakers and events, forcing organizers to provide a level of security that liberal events never need. The left foments violence not just by spreading false propaganda about conservatives but by funding the supposed right-wing extremists they warn about, as the recent federal criminal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center has shown.

Let’s Remember the Democrats’ Lies

 Itxu Díaz  

"Democracy in America is the same as, or even better than, it was under Biden. The Constitution is stronger than it was before. And national values are healthier than ever. The only thing that has actually changed for the worse is that now people try to kill the president far more often."

 "Election campaigns are fertile ground for lies to flourish. Politicians are only allowed to lie on the campaign trail because, instead of calling them lies, people often call them “campaign promises.” And, in any case, almost no one pays attention to campaign promises. The average citizen agrees to vote for one party or another while holding their nose, but they also feel little enthusiasm for what we call election propaganda.

"And yet, everything has its limits. Now that some time has passed since Trump returned to power, we need to bring back into focus some of the lies Democrats spread through every media outlet. Perhaps the funniest of all went something like this: democracy or Trump. In case there’s anyone on the far left reading this, with their brain colonized by wokeism, the idea was to suggest that the only person capable of guaranteeing democracy was Kamala Harris.

"It wasn’t Harris’s only big lie. She also suggested that Trump was quietly working on a plan for authoritarian or dictatorial rule if he won the election. She even hinted that the Republican planned to persecute and imprison opposition political leaders and govern completely outside the bounds of the Constitution.

"In short, Harris spent the entire campaign assuring everyone that a Donald Trump victory would mean the apocalypse, the destruction of the United States, and the emergence of a supremacist dictatorship in the world’s most powerful nation. Harris has the mental capacity of a clam — but a clam that’s already been hit with a hammer — and that has led some to suggest that his predictions were not manipulation but pure stupidity, sheer intellectual incapacity.

"That, however, is no excuse. Democrats lied again and again during the campaign, and now that time has passed and we can see that none of what they predicted has come true, it’s worth remembering. Generally, the things said during election campaigns stay there, and nobody seems to remember them afterwards, as if they were harmless white lies or socially acceptable falsehoods. I refuse to let it be forgotten that the pack of beasts leading the Democratic Party since its abduction by Obama lied about the gravest, most sacred thing in the United States of America: democracy — that is, freedom — that is, the Constitution.

"I know Trump never misses an opportunity to point out that Joe Biden spent his days sleeping through official events and had no idea what he was signing or saying. And that’s fine. But I do miss hearing him remind people that Democrats lied about the end of democracy. As far as I know, there is still a separation of powers, there are still elections, and citizens still vote freely. And, for the moment, it doesn’t seem that Trump is throwing opposition leaders into gas chambers." . . .

Spare Us the Selective Outrage

 Victor Davis Hanson   

"After October 7, we were also lectured that Israel was not just guilty of various war crimes but illegitimate in its very existence. Indeed, it became chic to condemn Israeli Jews as "settler colonialists" — despite residing in the 3,500-year homeland of the Jewish people."

"Since October 7, we have been lectured nonstop about the supposedly singular sins of Israel.

The campuses, the left-wing media, and the new Democratic Socialist officials, both federal and state, following the cue of student activists and professors from the Middle East, have painted Israel and their Jewish supporters as Nazis, fascists, and among the worst murderers in today's bloody world.

This is nonsensical. The medieval-style massacre of 1,200 Jews in their homes on October 7, during a time of peace, should have increased awareness of the existential dangers Israel faced. Instead, it spawned a gathering storm of antisemitism.

What Was Israel Supposed to Do?

Note that leftists and pro-Hamas students and faculty were shouting the eliminationist slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" in euphoria almost immediately in response to the news of the slaughter. Hundreds of dead Jews set off a Pavlovian spasm of glee from the Middle East to American campuses.

Indeed, during the three-week hiatus following the mass killings – well before the IDF entered Gaza on October 27 – Israel and its supporters were damned in ways we have not seen for years. Even as Israel sought to negotiate a release of the 251 hostages and a surrender of all those in Hamas responsible for the massacres, the international furor at Israel only mounted. Or was it instead an ebullition of anticipation that still more slaughter of Israelis would follow?

Yet Israel's demands were met with more defiance. Hamas, and its delusional supporters, both in the Middle East and in the West, saw October 7 not as the end of bloodletting but as the beginning of far more slaughter – and of the hoped-for end of Israel altogether." . . . More...

Never believe leftists statements nor their professionally printed posters:

"Note that the current Arab population of Israel is close to 77 times larger than the remnant of 27,000 Jews who remain in Muslim-majority Middle Eastern nations."

Devastating: Boy Sweeps Girls' Track Events in California

Ward Clark – RedState  

"But the way to stop this is simple, not easy, but simple: If there is a boy or man on the field, every girl or woman should walk off. Leave the male "transgender" competitor alone on the field. Alone. Nobody to compete against."

"The entire lunatic practice of allowing boys to claim they "identify" as girls and compete against actual girls in sports isn't going away until angry parents and actual girls and women who compete force it to stop. There's a surefire way to do that; more on that in a bit. In the meantime, one of those boys, "Becky" Pepper-Jackson, defied the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)'s claim that there is "no competitive difference" between boys and girls in sports to sweep almost an entire girls' track event in West Virginia.

Transgender athlete Becky Pepper-Jackson won a girls' state championship in West Virginia this week, before the U.S. Supreme Court could make a ruling on whether the state can ban Pepper-Jackson from competing against females.

Pepper-Jackson took first place for Bridgeport High School in the Class AAA state title with a personal best of 38 feet, 11.75 inches. The second-place winner, Paislee Babiczuk, of John Marshall, finished more than two feet shorter, only managing 36 feet 11 inches.

"Two feet shorter. "No competitive advantage." Yeah, right. It gets worse:

Pepper-Jackson has now earned state champion status in dominant fashion, after the athlete's own lawyers at the ACLU argued that males don't have a competitive advantage over females, with ACLU attorney Joshua Block arguing "if the evidence shows there are no relevant physiological differences between B.P.J. and other girls, then there's no basis to exclude her."

West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey, who is helping to lead the legal defense against Pepper-Jackson and the ACLU, sent a letter to the Supreme Court on Tuesday highlighting Pepper-Jackson's performance this season and how it compares to female competitors.

"As a high school sophomore, Pepper-Jackson is not finishing 'near the back of the pack ...' but is instead defeating every— or nearly every — female in the state in these events. I would appreciate it if you could circulate this message to the members of the court," McCuskey wrote.

Disaster recovery should not be complicated by politics

 Reason  

Housing recovery needs certainty and speed. The first weeks and months after a disaster determine whether a community can recover. 

"The distribution of federal disaster aid has drawn renewed scrutiny as approval rates have varied sharply across states. Since President Donald Trump returned to office, about 23% of aid requests from Democratic-led states were approved, compared to nearly 89% for Republican-led states. In some cases, requests were denied even when federal officials agreed the damage deserved help.

"Under the current system, the Executive Branch has broad authority to approve or deny disaster aid requests. That means the final decision over whether communities receive support is not governed by fixed rules or timelines, but by discretionary judgment at the federal level. The problem is not any one political outcome. The problem is a system that leaves decisions that should be as data-driven as possible vulnerable to political discretion.

"Concerns about political influence over disaster aid decisions are not new. Economists and policy analysts have long documented how political incentives shape the allocation of disaster aid. A 2020 review found that federal disaster spending often followed electoral considerations more than actual need, a pattern visible from New Deal programs to modern Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declarations.

"No matter the reason for these differences in how disaster aid is approved across states, the system produces the same result: recovery becomes slower, less consistent, and harder to plan. That lack of consistency affects recovery at every stage, especially in housing, where rebuilding depends not only on federal decisions, but on how quickly systems at every level can respond." . . .   More...

About The Muslim Reform Movement

 MUSLIM REFORM MOVEMENT   "How much more slaughter of innocents in the name of Islam do we need to endure before the free nations of the world wake up and admit that we are at war with the ideology of Islamism? We are in a global struggle of a magnitude we have not seen since the end of the Cold War — and this time we are fighting an enemy whose natural constituency includes almost one-fourth of the world’s population.

Euthanasia Follows Evaluation Outside Canadian Fast Food Restaurant

Moonbattery   

There are no limits to its applications, the sanctity of innocent human life having been rejected.

"Mind what you eat. An ill-chosen meal might put you on the fast track for Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying.

"The New York Posts reports:

A Canadian doctor euthanized a 45-year-old patient suffering from inflammatory bowel disease and depression after a quick assessment outside a Tim Hortons, according to officials.

"It is unclear whether the fast food served at Tim Hortons caused a bellyache requiring the patient to be put down.

"Even in Canada, you can get in trouble for pushing euthanasia too far too fast. Dr. James MacLean of London, Ontario faces a minimum 6 months of supervision for killing Thomas Dillon.

"The details are macabre:

MacLean exchanged dozens of text messages with Dillon about plans to be medically euthanized, and even personally drove him to a morgue facility to carry out the procedure.

There, in June 2024, the doctor injected Dillon with a lethal cocktail of drugs inside a holding facility room at an industrial unit where human cadavers were prepared for funerals, officials said.

"National Post has more:

In another case, Dr. James MacLean failed to administer one of three drugs used in assisted deaths — one that paralyzes the body’s muscles, including the muscles involved in breathing. The patient resumed spontaneously breathing again after initially being pronounced dead, and after MacLean had already left the home.

Blue States Starting to Curb 'Free' Healthcare to Migrants

 Breitbart 

 "It is likely all these cuts would be quickly reversed if Democrats take control of Congress and the White House again, but the fact that cuts are being made now shows the success that the Trump administration enjoys today and should get credit for."

 

"A host of deep blue states are quietly pulling back from their generous programs of “free” healthcare to migrants as federal dollars dry up and their budgets continue to spiral into the red.

"With the Trump administration beginning to close the spigot of billions in federal aid that many states lavishly spent caring for illegal migrants, sates including California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon Washington, and the District of Columbia are finding that they cannot afford to replace the chocked off federal dollars with their own state budget dollars. This reality setting in has caused state officials to begin scaling back their freebies to illegals, which all come at the expense of American citizens.

"According to the Washington Examiner, 14 states have had been devoting untold millions to migrants, for their children, and for pregnant, non-citizen women.

"But after President Donald Trump signed his “Big Beautiful” spending bill, cutting billions in federal aid with cuts to Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare, and Obamacare insurance subsidies, many states have been forced to make decisions about their migrant programs.

"The cutbacks also reflect the Democrats’ difficulty in funding their hugely expensive urban political machines. Those “Sanctuary City Ponzi scheme” political machines need poor migrants to help conduit federal funds back to local city and state politicians, partly because many productive Americans move away to low-migration cities and states that have lower taxes, less diversity, better schools, higher wages, and cheaper housing.

"Thus far, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Washington the District of Columbia have already begun cutting free migrant healthcare budgets. And several others are in the process of evaluating similar measures." . . .

Democrat Pastors: Infiltrating Republican Pews For The 2026 Midterms; UPDATED

Mike Robertson  

"James Talarico, the Presbyterian seminarian running for Texas Senate, is the poster child for the strategy. He brandishes his faith credentials while twisting Scripture to bless every left-wing priority from “reproductive justice” to expansive welfare."

 "The numbers don’t lie. Democrats are staring down the barrel of another midterm cycle where their secular base simply isn’t big enough to win in the places that matter. So they’ve decided to stop pretending and start poaching. Not with policy changes or soul-searching. With collars. With Bibles. With men and women who once stood in pulpits now running for Congress and statewide office as proud Democrats.

"Progressive faith networks like Vote Common Good are tracking roughly 30 white Christian clergy (mostly from mainline Protestant denominations) seeking Democrat nominations this cycle. That’s no coincidence. It’s a deliberate surge aimed straight at the heart of Republican strength: the religious voter. White evangelicals, practicing Protestants, and traditional Catholics have anchored the GOP for generations. Democrats know it. They’ve studied the polls. And instead of reforming their agenda on life, family, and religious liberty, they’re trying to rent the pews.

"Look at the map. In Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, a Trump stronghold, Presbyterian pastor Lindsay James is on the ballot. Former United Methodist minister Clint Twedt-Ball is right there with her. Over in the 3rd District, ordained Lutheran minister and state Senator Sarah Trone Garriott is pushing the same line. Three pastors in one battleground state, all Democrats, all framing bigger government, open borders, and progressive priorities as pure Gospel.

"Up in Alaska’s at-large House seat, Presbyterian pastor Matt Schultz campaigns on feeding the hungry and standing up to “bullies” ‒– code, of course, for anyone who dares defend biological sex or parental rights in schools. In Kansas, the senior pastor of the largest United Methodist Church in the country, Adam Hamilton, with his 24,000-member congregation, is running for Senate as an “independent-minded Democrat.” These aren’t outliers. They’re the vanguard of a strategy that treats faith communities like enemy territory to be infiltrated rather than ignored.

"Here’s the problem for them: real faith voters see the disconnect. White Protestants still lean Republican by nearly 60-40. Traditional Catholics hold a similar edge. The religiously unaffiliated crowd that forms the Democrats’ reliable core simply doesn’t deliver majorities in the districts that decide the House and key Senate seats. That’s why this clergy surge exists. It’s an admission that the old secular playbook is failing in flyover country." . . . More...

Democrats Hopeful Average Texas Voter Wants To Ban Steak And Thinks God Is Gay | Babylon Bee

The Laugh’s on Hollywood; "The disappearance of comic risk has left American entertainment joyless, preachy, and unintentionally absurd."

 The American Spectator   

"The Industry’s woke intransigence is no longer annoying, now it’s amusing. You can almost see the in-crowd tossing the banana peel they themselves are going to slip on, and wreck their habitat.

"The long whimpering finish of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week confirmed a sad truth. Hollywood killed comedy. A century of laughter provoked by comic geniuses — Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, Fields, Hope, Brooks, Martin, Carrey, and Saturday Night Live alumni (Belushi, Aykroyd, Murray, Murphy, Sandler, Ferrell, Myers, Stiller) ended in the first decade of this one. Mirth has either been missing from the screen since 2010 or reduced to conservative man-bashing, as on every late-night show. The latter is questionably rewarded by “clapter,” the former depends on mocking the now unmockable — to Hollywoke if not the audience.

"The last great comedy film was Tropic Thunder in 2008, directed and co-written by the brilliant Ben Stiller, before the Hollywoke Strain broke his mind and spirit. Tropic Thunder lampooned everything and everyone, including Asian communist terrorists and Hollywood, with a hilarious Tom Cruise as amoral studio executive Lee Grossman (“I don’t know what kind of pan-Pacific bullshit power play you’re trying to pull here,” Grossman snarls at the commie leader. “But Asia, Jack, is my territory!”). The gem also features Robert Downey, Jr. in blackface uttering the classic politically incorrect line, “Never go full retard.” Any part of the picture would melt down real studio execs today — and, sadly, Ben Stiller.

"The highest rated, and funniest, sitcom of the 2010s was Two and a Half Men. Every episode featured the hedonistic Charlie Sheen not only enjoying the Male Gaze on a bevy of ridiculously sexy underdressed women but acting on it.  And viewers of both sexes loved it, making the show number one for the whole decade. The audience for such humor hasn’t disappeared, only the producers of it.

"The Hollywoke Strain is fatal to the comic mind. Will Ferrell, for instance, is responsible for some of the biggest howls and hits of the 00s — Elf, Old School, Anchorman, Blades of Glory, others. His last major film, however, was Will and Harper, a documentary about a road trip he took with his ex-SNL writer friend Harper Steele after he “came out” as a trans woman. Mostly groans replaced laughs. Ferrell’s most recent appearance on the Saturday Night Live season finale as the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein yukking it up with “old pal” Trump, was cringeworthy.

"Meanwhile, the once uproarious Jim Carrey never recovered from Trump Derangement Syndrome. He was all over Twitter insulting the President during his first term, and composing anti-Trump cartoons. Trump’s 2024 election must have totally broken Carrey. He’s been absent from any screen during the man’s second term." . . . More...

Professor Brother of Hakeem Jeffries Invokes the Violence of John Brown on Social Media

"Violent rhetoric and actual violence have become normalized on the left. This must end.

"From Campus Reform:

"Hakeem Jeffries’ brother invokes John Brown’s violence while discussing white supremacy ‘in the White House’

"Hasan Kwame Jeffries, an Ohio State University professor and the brother of Hakeem Jeffries, made social media posts referencing the elimination of white supremacists “by any means necessary.”

"In a trending social media post, Libs of TikTok highlighted an X post from Jeffries. In the post, he writes, “John Brown understood that the only way to free Americans from the scourge of white supremacy was to get rid of white supremacists by any means necessary. He was right then. He is right now.”

Jeffries cited John Brown, an American abolitionist known for advocating violence to end slavery. One quote from Brown that describes his philosophy states: “I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”

One person commented on the post, jokingly asking, “Are these ‘white supremacists’ in the room with you now?” Jeffries responded, “Nah. They’re in the White House.” The post further suggests that Jeffries was referring to President Trump and his administration in the original post.

"Professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University notes that progressive academics have done this with Brown before." . . .

The One Criminal From OJ’s Murder Trial Has Died

Ann Coulter   

"White Americans took it all in and said, That’s it. The white guilt bank is closed. When it was considered a graver offense to use “the N-word” than to cut off a white woman’s head, the “legacy of slavery” crap had run its course." . . .

"Mark Fuhrman, the only man convicted of a felony in the O.J. Simpson trial, died this week of throat cancer at age 74. He was also a crucial player in my book, “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama” for his part in the case that inadvertently gave us a 15-year intermission from perpetual race-mongering. That Xanadu could last only as long as most Americans still had a piercing recollection of the nearly universal jubilance of black people when O.J. was acquitted.

"From that point on, the race card simply stopped working, like a subway card that won’t open a turnstile anymore. Fuhrman’s obituaries didn’t explain his part in helping secure this brief respite, so I thought I’d write my own.

"The evidence that O.J. — a star football player, actor, sportscaster and product spokesman — had murdered his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman was overwhelming. O.J.’s blood was found on the ground next to the mutilated bodies, on a walkway from Nicole’s house, on her driveway and on her back gate. Blood from all three was inside O.J.’s white Bronco and on a pair of gloves, one at the murder scene and its match on O.J.’s property. Nicole’s blood was in O.J.’s foyer, master bedroom, driveway and on a pair of socks in his bedroom. All samples were collected before police had a sample of O.J.’s blood and showed no one else’s DNA.

"For the icing on top, O.J. had a documented record of beating up Nicole, and, within hours of his arrest warrant being issued, attempted to flee in his white Ford Bronco with cash, a passport, a disguise and a gun.

"But none of that mattered to the jury because Fuhrman, a Los Angeles police detective, had used the N-word nine and a half years earlier. He was the investigator who first spotted — but did not touch — the glove on O.J.’s property, a tiny pebble in a mountain of incriminating evidence. That was the fig leaf used to explain why a mostly black jury acquitted O.J. on all counts, for an attack so brutal he nearly decapitated Nicole.

"Despite its monumental irrelevance to O.J.’s guilt or innocence, the judge allowed defense attorney F. Lee Bailey to ask Fuhrman if he had — I quote — “addressed any black person as a [the N-word] or spoken about black people as [N-words] in the past 10 years.” A normal person would understand that question to mean, “Do you call black people the N-word?” not, “Has the word ever passed your lips, including the way I — F. Lee Bailey — just used it?”

"Fuhrman said he had not. A year later, his denial was pretty well corroborated in a New York Times article quoting his many black partners, colleagues and friends. The Los Angeles public defender’s office investigated the detective “aggressively,” but found “virtually no complaints” against him, and not a single accusation of racial misconduct. To the contrary, the investigation turned up “compliments paid to Fuhrman by arrestees,” including minorities." . . . More...
