‘Fascist’ Is the Dumbest Political Insult in the World Today

 The American Spectator

. . . "A deranged leftist entered the thread to first admit that the federalization of Washington’s police had produced results, and then to admit that DC’s black community seems very much to enjoy the heightened security of their neighborhoods — after all, robberies have been cut in half, carjackings by 5/6ths, and violent crime overall by 22 percent along with the sudden cessation of murders, and these are positive developments inuring disproportionately to the benefit of Washington’s beleagured black citizens who have borne the brunt of the longstanding lawlessness on the streets of the nation’s capital.

"But then he said it wouldn’t last.

"And insisted that this was “fascism,” and that with so many uniformed men with guns patrolling Washington, the city looks like Pakistan. 

"Then came the coup de grâce, which was a suggestion that Trump invest in more community centers in D.C.

"It’s been said that the city’s police force is some 300 officers short of its full complement of law enforcement officials. So supplementing it with ICE, DEA, ATF, and FBI agents and — the horror! — National Guardsmen from several states around the country is actually something less than “fascism.” 

"Unless an effective law enforcement contingent large enough to impose law and order is “fascism.”

"An interesting bit of history for you — when the Nazis took over Germany, one of the first things they did was to defund and disband local police forces and roll them into the various security agencies of the Reich.

"That’s what fascism looks like from a law enforcement perspective, because a local police force can serve as a check on the power of a national government. . . .Much more here...

Aftermath of the Annunciation School shooting

Democrat Responses to the Minnesota Trans Shooter Are the Most Evil and Depraved I've Ever Seen – RedState 

"I also have zero interest in being lectured about inaction from depraved people who continue to promote "gender-affirming care," including pumping people full of massive doses of cross-sex hormones to "affirm" their mental delusions. Democrats have led society off a cliff with their "transgender" ideology, and they refuse to respond to reason. They are responsible for creating this environment, and trying to deflect by attacking the prayers of Christians isn't going to relieve them of that." 

 . . . "What I've seen in the aftermath of yet another "transgender" murderer targeting a Christian school, this time in Minnesota, has shaken me to my core. It has wiped out any delusion that the Democratic Party could be reasoned with, replaced by the recognition of the sheer evil being propagated. 

As RedState reported, the disgusting slop from the left began with the Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis proclaiming, "And don't just say this is about 'thoughts and prayers,' right now. These kids were literally praying!" . . . 

Some of Fox News' Coverage of the Minneapolis Shooting Seemed to Be Taking Pointers From MSNBC   “It's always a young white male, almost always,” [Trey] Gowdy said.  

"Westman was transgender, Gowdy. You may be reading liberal talking points, but they don’t apply here.  

"The shooter was transgender, wrote “kill Donald Trump” among other things on the magazines—these are the Left’s people. Why are they committing mass shootings, because Westman isn’t the first transgender to do this."

The age of ignorance.

UPDATE: Don Surber; A school shooting brings out the worst in the Party Of Obama  . . . "Libs of TikTok reminded everyone: “The Democrat Minneapolis Mayor who kneeled, wept, and prayed by George Floyd’s coffin is now telling us not to pray for Christian children who were gunned down at their church.”

"Of course, he was pushing defunding police back then. Now he pushes to ban guns.

"MS NOW relic Jen Psaki tweeted, “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayer does not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.”

"Salena Zito replied, “Prayer does more than you’ll ever understand Jen and your divisive post helps no one.”

"Poet Joseph Massey replied, “Prayer is part of a chain of action. We pray to fill our minds and hearts with God so we can, with free will, cooperate with His will. Cackling demons mocking prayer don’t know what they’re cackling about. Liars. They do the bidding of their master, the greatest liar of all.” . . .

Cracker Barrel Rebrand Fiasco a Symptom of a Non-innovative Nation

Sarah Wilder 

. . . "Yet this change has come with several unwelcome ones, including poor service, glitchy ordering kiosks, low quality food, and most of all a loss of personality and distinction in our American food chains. Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Burger King are essentially the same restaurant."

"Just as Generation Z is scraping the “millennial grey” paint off the natural wood in their homes, Cracker Barrel gave itself the sad beige makeover nobody asked for.

"Nearly every McDonald’s has received this makeover in the last decade. While style and decor changes across generations are normal, the leap from what the kids of the 1990s grew up with to what they created once they became adults is nothing short of an architectural whiplash. The garish, yet welcoming, tones of bright yellow and red have been replaced with various shades of grey, while the iconic golden arches are swapped for sharp angles on the fast-food chain’s buildings.

"The trend isn’t just obvious in restaurant design. Baby toys are now made with the most ambiguous, neutral colors possible. While playing with a trendy stacking toy with my toddler, I reflected that I didn’t know how I would teach him his colors based on that toy, like I had learned them when I was little. Little kids are learning their colors via taupe, beige, ecru, and almond before red, blue, green, yellow, and orange.

"True, it’s not worth being angry about. Even I can admit that the change in how toys are designed is a direct result of changing customer choices!

"Yet the infamous Cracker Barrel makeover hit a major nerve in the culture wars. This happened not only because Cracker Barrel’s new CEO has voiced support for “woke” causes, but because her changes rejected the very people who love the restaurant. Cracker Barrel’s customer base doesn’t want grey minimalism.

"In this sense the rebrand was similar to other, more directly political brand moves, such as when Bud Light – a brand whose revenue rests largely on the purchases of Republicans – chose to hire a flamboyant man in a dress and fake lashes to advertise for them. The fact that Cracker Barrel’s rebrand became so political that even the official Democrat Twitter account weighed in shouldn’t surprise anyone who has paid attention to the collective exhaustion we all feel at beloved brands bending over backwards to fit into a single mold, regardless of their distinct customer bases." . . .

The Odyssey of our "Maryland Dad"

 "He may be deported again quickly, but his massive team of high- priced lawyers and liberal activist judges make that unlikely"  Bottom

Will the ‘Maryland Man’ Be Sent to Mamdani’s Homeland?   . . . "Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not a “Maryland man.” Never was, never will be.

"He is a Salvadoran national under a final removal order and a federal indictment. He’s back because the law—and his own exposure—not grandstanding politicians—demanded it.

"When justice is done, he should go—and stay gone.

"And if he’s “shopping” destinations, perhaps El Salvador wasn’t so bad after all."

Suddenly, Kilmar didn't think being shipped to Costa Rica was such a bad thing after all   "Funny how 'Uganda' has a way of concentrating an illegal alien's mind.

"And activating a new round of NGO legal challenges. The cash for lawyers must be rolling.

"Which is what we see with the world's most undesirable illegal immigrant, alleged MS-13 gang member, child-porn solicitor, human smuggler, and serial wife beater Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, with his final deportation order on the edge of going through." . . .

Get Kilmar The Hell Out Of The Country   "Why is Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in the United States? He was out, he was gone, and now he’s back. Why? Incompetent leadership at the Justice Department, that’s why. And it is unforgivable. 

Kilmar, the illegal alien from El Salvador – who may or may not be a gang member, may or may not have beaten his then girlfriend, now wife, and may or may not have helped traffic human beings for whatever purpose – needs to be the hell out of here as soon as possible. I don’t care where he goes, I care that he goes. I don’t care if he was a gang member of was trafficking people, the fact that he’s an illegal alien is enough. 

But he’s not gone, he’s here. He may be deported again quickly, but his massive team of high- priced lawyers and liberal activist judges make that unlikely. So, in reality, this guy may be in the country for the rest of his life after having been removed once already. 

Why the hell did the Attorney General bring him back? . . . 

Judicial Watch: Air Force Grants Funeral Honors to Ashli Babbitt

 Judicial Watch

"(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the U.S. Air Force will finally provide full military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021. Babbitt was the only official January 6 homicide victim. The Biden administration had previously denied Babbitt and her family these honors in retaliation for being at the U.S. Capitol that day. This decision comes on the heels of a massive, nearly $5 million Trump administration settlement to her family for wrongful death and other claims against the U.S. Government.

"Babbitt, 35, owned and operated a successful pool business with her husband Aaron. Ashli traveled alone from San Diego to Washington, DC, to attend the Women for America First (aka Save America) rally on January 6, 2021, at the Ellipse near the White House.

"On July 23, 2025, Judicial Watch Senior Counsel Robert Sticht wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth asking him to reverse the “grave national injustice” of denying Babbitt and her family military funeral honors:  . . .

Palestinian Activist Who Praised Hitler, Promised to Drink the Blood of Jews, Is Called 'Hero' by Media –

  RedState

"Her hatred for Israel and the Jews is self-evident. She chose to incite, to hate, and to poison. And those who support her are unsurprisingly the same Hamas flag-waving anti-Semites who care not one iota for the Palestinian people, just the destruction of the one and only Jewish state." 

. . . "Appearing on a YouTube show earlier in August, Tamimi claimed she was raised to fight and resist the Jews, not "Zionism," and argued that in context of the "Palestinian struggle" the distinction is one without meaning. She said she doesn't believe this makes her antisemitic as she harbors no ill will against the religion of Judaism, merely against the "inhumanity" embodied by the Israelis: 

I was raised [to believe] that Judaism means occupation, and today, tomorrow, and a million years from now, I will continue to say that Judaism be presented to the children of Palestine – children of my age and younger – as occupation, and that we are fighting the Jews, not Zionism.

Western media—or any media in the world—should not come and present its views. No! The whole world needs to shut up when a Palestinian is talking. We are superior to the entire world, because we are the only ones in the world fighting injustice, at the expense of our lives, and the expense of our humanity.

"Incidentally, if any (or all) of the above makes zero sense to you, you're not alone. I read it three times and I'm still confused — other than by this reprehensible person's unbridled hatred of the Jewish people, that is.

'Let the Whole World Be Destroyed, I Don't Care'

"Tamimi's unfettered hatred of — and boundless enmity against — Jews, while not unprecedented, ranks right up there with the worst of Adolf Hitler's Nazi propaganda, yet it seems that the only press she gets from the legacy media is glowing. Here she is calling for WW III:

I have reached a point where I wish for a World War III. Whoever dies, dies, and whoever lives, lives. The important thing is that we will be over with this. I have reached this point. Let the whole world be destroyed, I don’t care. Let them drop nuclear bombs, and destroy the whole world, so it won’t be just the Palestinians. More...

Fake News Replaced by Fake 'Experts'; How To Think Like a Journalist

Ann Coulter

"The new method of journalism is to wake up, scratch yourself, announce this is what I think and then find someone who agrees with you to cite as an "expert." This honorific is generally given either to slobbering simpletons, like John Brennan, or anonymous nobodies on the left. If you see "expert," you should assume the person is not an expert, and probably not even a person.

"Here's how to do a story on "water isn't wet" in under 40 minutes:

"Get a college professor on the phone.

" 'Hello. I'm from The New York Times and I'm looking to quote an expert saying water's not wet."

"That is correct, water is not wet.

"Why?

Because it isn't.

" 'Is this something you've studied?"

"Oh my gosh -- I'm a world-renowned expert.

"To your editor: "I've got an expert saying water isn't wet."

"Do you have more than one?"

"Throw a rock out the window, hit someone. "Hey! Sorry about the rock. I've got a question for you. Is water wet? Yes? Ask the guy next to you. Got it, perfect."

"Headline: "Water Not Wet, Experts Say."

"Nowhere is the explosion of phony experts more annoying than in the bloated ranks of foreign policy hacks. It's as if the world decided to solve the problem of "elite overproduction" by creating a full employment program for them as government bureaucrats and quotation providers.

"Thus, a recent Times article accused Donald Trump of "Flying Blind” by stripping the government of high-quality intelligence experts, horrifyingly, just as he's trying to end the Russia-Ukraine war. Instead of relying on experts, as other (obviously better) presidents have, Trump, the Times reports, "has taken a different approach ...: He’s fired them."

"Meaning he will not be deferring to people whose sole objective in life is being quoted in the Times. Without losing accuracy, the cited authorities could all be identified as professors of Trump-Hating." . . . . . More...

Victor Davis Hanson: Joy Reid and the Rise of Open Racism From the Left

The Daily Signal  

"Former MSNBC host Joy Reid is under fire for blasting white people on her podcast—saying “they can’t invent anything” and claiming American music is solely the domain of black Americans.

"This type of rhetoric, embraced by DEI ideology, is nothing short of racial essentialism—and dangerously divisive.

"Victor Davis Hanson explains why such rhetoric threatens America’s identity as a successful multiracial democracy—and why ethnic and racial chauvinism must be rejected—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

"“Joy Reid is basically saying that black people are cognitively superior to other people. I wish this was an isolated incident. But remember, we've had this controversy before, about the president of Sacramento State, Luke Wood, who, in his past, was an African American intellectual activist, as he self-describes himself. And he said he wanted to ”eliminate”—that's a bad word to use, given the history of it in the 20th century—“eliminate whiteness.” Again, no repercussions.

“We have zero tolerance when racists, who are white, say such things about other groups. But in a truly multiracial, tolerant society, people who not only attack a group, collectively, and stereotype it, but they do so from positions of influence and power—like The New Yorker magazine or a former MSNBC anchor—they can do a great deal of damage, unless they're called out for it.”

Nice post, but is it false"

California: Missing the great state I once knew; "California’s dysfunction is spreading to the rest of the country."

 DeSantis Criticizes California’s Policies After Newsom Meme Targets Miami Crime Statistics   

“To be bipartisan, you know, I do have to acknowledge that under Gavin Newsom’s leadership, California, they are No. 1 in a lot of things: No. 1 in homelessness. No. 1 in public defecation. No. 1 in tent cities. No. 1 for highest income tax in the country. No. 1 for highest sales tax. No. 1 for highest gas tax,” DeSantis said." ...He also noted California has “the highest electricity rates in the continental United States.” 

 Gavin Newsom’s California Is a Crashing Caliphate of Chaos  California’s dysfunction is spreading to the rest of the country.

But that sure won’t stop him from trying to inflict his brand of misery on us. And as that terrible crash in Florida showed, Newsom is already more than capable of causing chaos everywhere in America. 

Gov. Gavin Newsom, Fiddled On While California Burned

. . . The video of the Florida wreck from the driver’s cab is bone-chilling, in that Singh doesn’t seem to have a care in the world as he makes an utterly insane illegal U-turn on an interstate highway, leading to an SUV carrying a driver and two passengers barreling into the side of his semi-trailer. Photos after the wreck show him to be amazingly composed, and perhaps remorseless, after causing the deaths of three people.

"I’ve been hearing for months from people in the trucking industry about illegal aliens proliferating on the roads carrying freight with zero professional qualifications or appreciable skills, making the highways far less safe. That Singh’s CDL came from California would track perfectly with those complaints — it’s Newsom’s California, so I’m told, which has been the source of the unsafe illegal truck drivers fanning out across the country.

"Remember — a very large percentage of the freight loads traveling on our highways originate at California ports like Long Beach. So when that state gives CDLs to unqualified truckers and California trucking companies hire them, it’s a rapidly spreading cancer that infects the whole industry. This gets reflected in commercial auto insurance rates across America, among other things.

"So when Singh killed those people over the weekend, it became just another data point in this ugly story.

"Newsom is becoming — that isn’t right; he has been for some time — the Typhoid Mary of awful public policy, creating misery for ordinary folks. And we see that again and again in California itself.

"The response to the Pacific Palisades fire is a spot-on example. Poor forest management in the hills above that community, going back decades, but perhaps intensifying on Newsom’s watch, when it was more and more obviously necessary to clear underbrush and create fire breaks to shield populated areas from wildfires, led to those people being burned out of their homes. That was certainly bad enough. (RELATED: Wildfires As a Wake-Up Call)

"But eight months on, the residents of Pacific Palisades — who have wealth and insurance checks, and aren’t generally in need of public assistance to rebuild — have barely even begun to reconstruct what they’ve lost. Why? Bureaucracy. State and local governments in California are slow-walking the permitting process for people to begin not new construction but replacement construction on their property. (RELATED: Environmentalists or Exclusionists?)" . . .  Full article here..

How Obama doomed Democrats

 Don Surber

"Obama insisted on putting his party on the 20 side of 80/20 issues. Democrats are pro-criminals, pro-illegal aliens, pro-child mutilation and against anything and everything that Trump does."

"The New York Times is running a series of stories aimed at sparking Democrats after their second defeat by Donald Trump despite outspending him and owning all the media. NYT fears he’s the iceberg that hit their Titanic that for most of this century ran the country.

"NYT reported, “How the Electoral College Could Tilt Further From Democrats.

"The concern of the moment is over the 2030 Census which will reflect California’s loss of actual citizens to middle class flight and the deportation of the illegal aliens that Democrats use to fluff their population totals. They literally were replacing Americans with immigrants as they tried to maintain an Electoral College advantage that California does not deserve.

President Trump is deporting that plan." . . .

"Obama used his power to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to fight for their First Amendment right not to dispense artificial birth control to their employees.

"I’m not saying he is a pervert, but he used his power to finance the butchery of children in the name of transgendering.

"The first black president made life miserable for everyone by dividing us by race, sex and sex life.

"He used the FBI to spy on Donald Trump and likely many others as Susan Rice spent her time as the nation’s spy chief “unmasking”—that is identifying—Americans in what were supposed to be FBI recordings of foreign nationals.

"But Obama’s worst sin for Democrats was hanging on to power by becoming the first ex-president to live in DC to watch his moles in government work against his successor. For four years, he harassed President Trump with false investigations, phony baloney lawsuits and ludicrous impeachments.

"Under Biden, Obama had Trump’s home raided by his buddies in the FBI. Obama’s minions charges him with 91 counts of crimes that existed, as he said, “in the imagination.” . . . More.

Here’s why Democrats work so hard to defend criminals   . . . "Obama is an intelligent person who morphed Saul Alinsky, Marx, Critical Theory, and anarchy into a legitimate political movement.  Although it was successful in his personal ascension to power, this approach has not generally gained ground nationally.  (It is well received in the large urban cities with large minority populations.)  The movement toward radicalism includes a reduction in policing and punishment for crimes.  This results in chaos which threatens the local poor and minority population most giving them a sense of hopelessness and desperation.  This is critical to the theory.  Hence, these political leaders will resist any attempt to make our streets safer." . . .
