Open Thread

There is a study which shows the massive lies the New York Times spread about the Gaza conflict. If you go through it, you’ll see it reached ridiculous levels that would have caused Goebbles to blush. A Narrative was pushed of innocent, long-suffering “Palestinians” being brutalized for no reason by cruel, Nazi-like Israelis. You and I – being free from lies and at least somewhat educated – dismiss such drivel…but the readers of the Times don’t. They are highly credentialed, of course, but almost entirely uneducated. The younger, the more uneducated. When they look at Times articles, they just take it on faith that it’s true…and reading those articles leads them to other outlets where the lies get even more intense. In the end, the consumer of the lies is carrying a “Palestinian” flag and threatening Jews in Brooklyn. And, of course, voting for Mamdani.

And I know what you’re thinking: “here comes Mark to yammer on about lies again!”. But not really. Or at least not just that. You see, ten years ago, Mamdani could not get elected. Al Sayed could not have won a Senate nomination. These rank, hate filled anti-Semitic, anti-American creeps would not have gotten anywhere. It took a whole program of carefully crafted lies to get them to where they are. And the program isn’t just to get some power – it is to get all power. Using the most nasty lies imaginable, the Left proposes to push into power people who hate the United States who will then simply rule that Americans don’t have rights. It will end like Nicaragua – where first the Commies packed the Court and then, at the end, simply announced there would be no further elections…not needed, you see? Democracy had produced the desired result and so no more Democracy was necessary. They will do that here. They’re trying to do it (with a lot of success) in Europe. And the twin pillars of it are mass migration (especially of Muslim males) and lies.

So, yes, I will say it again: Lies must not enjoy first amendment protections. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. We do not have to allow those who would shoot us to hide behind our Constitution as they build the wall we’ll be up against.

Twenty States are suing Trump over his plan to deny welfare benefits to green card holders. Think about that. Foreign bums are draining welfare meant for Americans and the Democrats – it is all Democrats – are suing to keep it going. They hate the United States…and they desperately need those foreign bums to vote for them.

Newsom has hired Abbe Lowell to do his legal work – from what I understand, Lowell is a cracker jack criminal defense attorney in DC. In other words, the person you hire when you’re looking at 20 years in the slammer. He’s in deep doo-doo.

A Florida grand jury has subpoenaed John Brennan, who is also likely in deep doo-doo. But here’s the kicker – the possible charge is conspiracy to deny Trump’s civil rights. Have you looked up our civil rights laws? They have teeth! And they make no mention of an exception for Trump…they cover every last person in the United States. We all have civil rights, guys! I know – who knew?

This is the tactic I’ve been wanting them to take and I hope Brennan is the test case – Trump lives in Florida so his rights, if they were violated, were violated in that State. This means that even if your conspiracy to deny his rights as organized in DC, you’re still going to face indictment in Florida…from a D+ 84 jury pool to R+ 13. Actually way more fair to Brennan than he deserves. And Brennan is just one of probably a thousand people who conspired to deny Trump’s civil rights. And once we get that rolling…do you know that a case can be made that my civil rights are violated when prominent Democrats around the country imply that I’m a racist Nazi due to my Trump vote? I think that is a serious problem and a grand jury of my neighbors – who also voted Trump – should look into that.

    The Times is like the teenage kid many, if not most of us knew, who had no moral compass, and probably never would develop one. Caught in lie after lie, they never change. They just try to come up with more convincing lies.

    I hear Ilhan Omar is under investigation too. Reportedly she did in fact marry her brother to circumvent immigration laws. I truly hope something comes of these investigations into Democrat malfeasance, but sadly I am not convinced it will.

    Re: civil rights violations … the period from 2021-2024 was nothing but civil rights violations. Covid protocols, closing churches and beaches, imposed separations, censored speech, etc. HAVE WE ALL FORGOTTEN????

    I will never forgive those motherfuckers. And then they killed Charlie. They are not people we want to be around, or share a country with.

    Good article ….

    In the healthcare market, the consumer (or first party) does not pay the seller (second party) directly. Furthermore, consumers are a captive market, as 84 million American workers get their insurance through their employer, not purchasing individually. In addition, the seller does not set the price or payment. 
     Healthcare
     is unique among markets having a third-party who is neither buyer nor seller yet who pays by spending OPM (other people’s — taxpayers —  money), and who determines the prices (payments) rather than paying sellers’ charges.

    The Lindsay Clancy trial has been a divider, even in my family. I have a niece who defends Lindsay and has not been talking to us much since. I just can’t get past the fact that Lindsay “viciously killed her kids” (as the one female juror said), and neither could the lone holdout, thank God. And it turns out, he’s a conservative black man, which warms my heart even more.

    And, There It Is… Lindsey Clancy Holdout Juror Says He Feels Like He’s Being Targeted Because “He Is a Black Republican” – And the Juror Panel Was Democrats

    In a culture that celebrates abortion, infanticide is the next step for them. I can say this 100% accuracy, NO MAN would ever defend another man for killing his children. EVER. I think feminism and the abortion agenda has broken some women.

    Here’s some party advice for our resident Democrats.

    At Socialism 2026, Adler-Bolton argues that “fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism” and says the goal should not be to become “more useful to the ruling order.” She says the left should not try to beat fascists “at their own game” by becoming “fitter, more eugenic.” “In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think.” She closes by arguing that revolution is not “a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies” and that the very idea is itself fascist.

    Time get fatter and lazier. How cool is that? Otherwise you might be thought of as a fascist, and that would not be good.

      Fat stoned and stupid seems to be how they want to go through life.

      Keep in mind that the DSA and associated groups are foreign influence organizations…the Chinese and other foreign actors pay for it and organize it (though there are now at least nearly enough morons in the USA to make DSA financially self-sustaining). The whole program is to simply degrade the USA…to kill us off internally because we can’t be conquered externally.

    Reportedly America loses over $500 BILLION to fraud every year.

    I’ll repeat that.

    America loses over $500 billion a year to fraud. And Democrats are working hard to shut down fraud investigations and malign the investigators.

    Vote MAGA!

      At least half our national debt is stolen money.

        Not sure what your point is. Are you saying that red states condone fraud more than blue states? It seems to me that people engaged in fraud can live anywhere they want.

      • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan September 17, 2026 / 9:55 pm

        Its the same thing they do when they say some of the worst murder rates are in Red States…without mentioning that its actually in Blue cities governed by Democrats for decades.

        IOW, they’re lying as per usual.

        Per Google AI …. Top 3 Fraud States

        Nevada: Ranks near or at the top for per capita losses and report rates (reaching roughly 892 to 962 reports per 100,000 residents).

        Georgia: High impact area for identity theft and fraud reports, averaging around 1,599 reports per 100,000 residents.

        California: Leads the nation in total overall financial volume of losses (exceeding $3.5 billion) and ranks high in vulnerability scores.

    Today’s Coffee & Covid is a must read. A sample:

    In one sense, today’s BMJ investigative report is nothing new. It merely once again confirms that our conspiracy theories were conspiracy facts. The covid horse is out of the barn and almost nobody is getting boosters, thank heavens. To paraphrase Hillary Clinton: what difference, at this point, does it make?

    Today’s quiet, uncelebrated BMJ admission makes all the difference. It is finally evidence from inside the citadel that the elites cannot deny. When Paul Offit tweets about how many lives were saved by the covid shots, everyone should just send him a link to that BMJ report. They can’t say the shots were proven safe when they didn’t look for injuries. They must now be forced to account for how the rollout was handled, and cannot be allowed to blame it all on officials who’ve already resigned.

    If it proves nothing else, the BMJ story proves the wisdom of the founders. The Constitution tried to limit the federal government to a few narrow enumerated powers like controlling the border, levying international tariffs, the military, and running the post office (badly). When it dabbles in things like public health and charity, what happens? Lies. Massive fraud. Cover-ups.

    When it “helps” us with mandatory retirement schemes, what happens? A broke Social Security system. When it “serves” us with regulated healthcare plans, what then? American life expectancy that trails Costa Rica. When it “protects” us from environmental poisoning, what do we get? Regulated backyard puddles. When it “assists us” with evening the playing field, what happens? Diversity, equity, and inclusion. When it “advances” us by funding science, what result? Gain-of-function research in Chinese labs and a global pandemic.

    In what extra-constitutional realm has the federal government ever unequivocally succeeded? Color me skeptical. I welcome the debate.

      Speaking of Jeff Childers, when President Trump launched the Iran war, he was all over it, explaining to his readers the strategic genius of Donald Trump. But about a month in, and with no end to the war in sight, Childers stopped talking about completely, as if it no longer exists. Why do you suppose that is?

      • Cluster's avatar Cluster September 17, 2026 / 7:44 pm

        This is not a war. This was an operation that at the moment is just waiting for Iran to bleed out, physically or financially.

      • casper3031's avatar casper3031 September 17, 2026 / 8:25 pm

        Didn’t Trump call this a war? Are you happy with the current gas prices?

      • Cluster's avatar Cluster September 17, 2026 / 8:49 pm

        Not really, but I know they are transitory lol. Remember that one? Higher prices are an ok trade off for ending Iran. And other than high fuel costs, the economy is roaring; higher wages, higher retirement accounts, huge business investments. Amazon just announced they raising wages across the board.

      • casper3031's avatar casper3031 September 17, 2026 / 9:33 pm

        We are a long way from ending Iran and the costs keep going up. The price of beef has doubled here in Hawaii. My over all monthly bills are up $200 to $300. Trump is the most unpopular president in my life time and it’s getting worse.
