Saw a video of a fairly large crowd of people in New York City celebrating 10/7. As I said in the previous thread: we’re going to have to decide what we do with evil people.

We are not, at this juncture of history, actually trying to preserve a certain form of government: we’re trying to save our lives. And we will be forced – and I believe very soon – to act like people do when their lives are at stake. This is beyond a concern of free speech…this is people telling us they are delighted when we’re killed (and 10/7 isn’t just about killing Jews – it is about killing the whole concept of civilized behavior). I can let them keep on…or I can find a way to stop them.

I said for a long while now that I thought we had a peaceful way out – that the window for a political settlement is still open. As of this moment in time, I want that window closed. I’ll let them start the fight…but I’ll do everything I can, when they do, to ensure we finish it. This time around, no more Grant-like “let ’em up easy”.

The Senate confirmed 107 Trump nominees all at once – and for those who wanted Trump to recess appoint these people: well, you were wrong. Trump knew what he was doing and all of these are now in place until 1/20/2029 (unless Vance keeps them on). In fact, this time around, Trump very much seems to know what he’s doing all the time…he’s running rings around the Democrats and, to be fair, around some of his supporters as well. As I noted early on in the Trump Era: the man plans. You might not like his plan, but he’s always got one…he does nothing actually off the cuff. Everything is calculated and my goodness but has he learned how to do politics…he’s got Democrats going into 2026 defending medical care for illegals and riots in the streets.

Some people are mad that Trump hasn’t fired hundreds of thousands of federal workers here in the second week of the shutdown. I, too, want those firings…but at this point, I’m just going to let Trump cook…perhaps he was waiting for these 107 to make sure some Deep State bureaucrat doesn’t step in as Acting this or that? We’ll find out.

What Do We Do With Evil People?

I noticed that Thunberg and her merry band of morons were picked up by the IDF and ordered deported by Israel. But as I rolled around in my head the whole situation, I realized that it is people like her who keep the killing going. Those who pull the trigger are not even primarily guilty. It is people like Thunberg.

Political terrorism has no definite start date – that is, we can’t say “on such a such date, the first act of political terrorism occurred”. This is because there can’t be a 100% definition of it and arguments about what it is can spin out endlessly. But I was thinking recently of the Carbonari – a shadowy Italian organization which grew out of Napoleonic-era Freemasonry. The group was dedicated to the creation of a unified and Liberal Italy (they loathed the Catholic Church and traditional Italy) – the country at the time being divided into a series of small States, most of which were directly ruled or deeply under the influence of the Hapsburg Monarchy. They managed to start a few unsuccessful rebellions (Italian unification eventually being accomplished by Cavour who used a combination of military force and diplomatic skullduggery to achieve his aim), but they also turned to terrorism to try to obtain their goals – including the unsuccessful assassination of French Emperor Napoleon III (who, in his youthful days of exile, was rumored to have been a member of the Carbonari). And that attempt done in order to push Napoleon into assisting in Italian unification. Whether or not Napoleon made his decision based on this is unknown…but in the event, he provided the decisive support for Italian unification. It is possible to say, “this is where it began: this is where the world started to fall under the influence of terror”.

We are told in history books that the Carbonari were the good guys. As we’re also informed that Garibaldi (another key person in the unification of Italy) was the hero. So, too, those who tried to strike at the Czar’s government in Russia. And the Hapsburg government in Vienna. And the British government in the UK. If you read the books you won’t find absolute condemnation of either Czolgosz (who murdered McKinley) nor of Lucheni (who murdered the Empress Elizabeth of Austria). We’re somehow supposed to feel a bit sorry for the murderers, with an unspoken subtext of “their victims got what was coming to them”. But let us circle back to Garibaldi for a moment – what did he want? A semi-socialist, anti-Catholic Republic governing Italy but with a mind towards “liberating” the whole world…that is, his fight for Italian independence and unity was a means, not an end…a stepping stone. And while he could rouse a rabble very effectively, nothing he ever said or did was aimed at helping Italians be Italian.

You know, like Lenin’s efforts in Russia.

Good to point out here that I think it was Kerensky – overthrown by Lenin’s Bolsheviks – who noted that the only way Lenin could have done what he did to Russia was via a total hatred for Russians. A complete desire to destroy everything the Russian’s were. And that, I think, is a very important point. What is Thunberg up to? The ostensible purpose of her trip was to bring aid to Gaza (totally unneeded as Gaza has more food and other supplies than it knows what to do with)…but always remember that “globalize the Intifada”. That gives the game away – it isn’t about Gaza. Just as Thunberg’s earlier efforts on “global warming” weren’t about saving the world from a hot day…it is always about something else, and that something is always the total destruction of what is…the memory and traditions of the varied peoples of the world and their replacement by a universal ideology.

It must be kept in mind that to be a political terrorist doesn’t require you kill anyone. Of course, those who set the bombs have their own guilt, but the worst actor is the person who justifies it (some times these are one in the same person – but mostly they are very distinct people). And who is the most guilty? Sure, a evil person who does the deed…but why does he do it? Because he’s a weak minded person who has been told that it is both necessary and good. You think about the men who did 10/7 – they are men like any others. They were born like all the rest of us and they are prey to all the same weaknesses…and are called to the same morality. But they went into defenseless towns and raped and murdered completely helpless human beings. To get from the innocent babe to the savage murderer is a lengthy process. Takes a lot of steps…and the most important step is those who keep telling the perpetrator that he is good and honorable in what he does.

And Thunberg is one of those saying, “it is honorable to murder”. She will never utter those exact words. She will claim endlessly she’s against violence. But she will also say in various ways that those who did 10/7 are the good guys…just as one miserable, hate filled son of a b*tch after another has been saying it about all the hideous political murderers of the past two centuries. It is very pervasive. As I said, even we normal people fall for it…in our unwillingness, most of the time, to vigorously condemn it. But, still, the guilt still lies most heavily upon those who find ways to justify it all…to some how excuse and explain it all way and lay all blame on the victims. You know, like the Left has been trying to lay the blame for Charlie Kirk’s death on Charlie Kirk…which efforts, of course, encourage even more people to kill.

We have a choice to make in our society – and while most of us won’t want to make it, we will – very likely – be forced to make it. That choice will be: just how much of this are we going to put up with? How long will we let these people foment violence, justify it and use it as an excuse to go after us? Eventually we have to call a stop to it – because if we don’t, we end up jailed or killed. So, the time is coming – and perhaps quite soon.

In my view, we are under no obligation to be gentle with people who justify murder – no matter what words they use to try to mask it, no matter how well they spin a tale…killing someone who isn’t directly threatening your life is wrong. It is murder. There is never even the slightest justification for it…and while we must take care to punish the actual perpetrators, we’re going to have to start punishing those who say its ok to kill. We’re going to have to stop treating someone like Thunberg as a mere idiot – she is incredibly stupid – and start treating her like as accessories after the fact.

What if they gave a government shutdown and nobody showed up?

And just how seriously stupid are the Democrats? AOC was out saying she’s ready to negotiate with the GOP at any time…did she forget she’s in the House that already passed the budget bill and thus has no further say in the matter? Its an even money chance that she doesn’t know how our government works…I mean the legislative process. After all, she’s only there to exercise power and grab money…you think she spent any time reading Robert’s Rules of Order? Heck, I wonder what her reading level is? She was born in 1989 which means she attended school from approximately 1994 to 2006…and New York education levels have been substandard (even by today’s dumbed-down standards) for a while. There’s a real chance that if you read to her:

11. A Main or Principal Motion is a motion made to bring before the assembly, for its consideration, any particular subject. It takes precedence of nothing — that is, it cannot be made when any other question is before the assembly; and it yields to all Privileged, Incidental, and Subsidiary Motions — that is, any of these motions can be made while a main motion is pending. Main motions are debatable, and subject to amendment, and can have any subsidiary motions applied to them.

She’d just stare blankly at you for a minute, call Trump a fascist and then demand Medicare for All. We’re dealing with very stupid people who haven’t the foggiest notion of how the world works but are at the same time dead certain they are right about everything and their opponents (us) are pure evil. Its a toxic stew.

We’d pity Chuck Schumer if he hadn’t spent his entire career being a vile liar enriching his cronies while America fell apart…he’s looking over his shoulder at a possible AOC primary challenge and realizes that he hasn’t got a chance against her. He’s vastly better educated and far more intelligent but in order to advance his interests, he allowed people like AOC to take control of the Democrat base…and if he doesn’t drive off AOC’s cliff, he’s doomed.

Team Trump – apparently with the cooperation of the Congressional GOP – is preparing a series of moves which will gut the Deep State…huge numbers of terminations and reorganizations to get rid of the last of the people sabotaging MAGA from within. And there’s nothing the Democrats can do about it – in fact, they are quite out of their depth right now as they learn we simply don’t care what they say. Call us racists and fascists and meanies and what have you…we know we’re not and we’re not interested in surrendering just to get you to stop calling us Nazis for 24 hours. The Democrats had their chance to come to the table and get something prior to the shutdown…now they get to twist in the wind as polling shows the people blaming them for it and their demands for a budget bill are horrifically unpopular.

Investigations in Minnesota are revealing massive immigration fraud – like half the people looked at committed at least some form of fraud to get and/or stay here. This is the sort of thing we need to do…especially to break up these concentrations of foreigners who are taking over segments of the USA and turning them into foreign enclaves…abodes of hostile people seeking our destruction and, worst of all, doing it with stolen taxpayer money. I’ve been saying that everyone who has come in over the past few decades needs to be looked at, and this is why. You don’t get millions of people illegally into the country by accident…to move that many takes a massive logistical support system and the people who provide logistic support for human trafficking aren’t altruists…they’re gangsters who want to get paid, and keep getting paid. My bet is the price for a ticket to the USA was (and remains) quite high and the people sent in have to pay – not only a cut out of any legitimate income they earn, but as much welfare as they can siphon off. I’ve noticed here in Vegas that the beggars seem quite organized…it usually isn’t some drug addled bum with his “will work for food” sign trying to cage the price of meth or booze…it is now more and more an obvious foreigner working shifts on particular street corners gathering whatever is tossed from a car window…I don’t give to such people. In the past, I’d drop a buck or even a fiver on the bum even though I knew it was for drink…these new people are probably kicking back to the cartels to pay for the price of passage.

Trump’s peace plan for Gaza is pretty much a diktat – there is very much a subtext of “or else” in it. But it is also a very fair deal. In fact, it is far more merciful to the Gazans than they deserve. The nutshell: war is over, Hamas is out, they get totally rebuilt under Trump’s watchful eye and Tony Blair as the Governor-General (in all but name) essentially until such time as we’re confident that 10/7 out of Gaza isn’t going to happen again. Peace, freedom and prosperity are offered to them – all they have to do, ultimately, is reject Hamas and the ideological commitment to murdering Jews.

Not a big ask.

Most of the major Muslim powers immediately signaled their overall approval (with reservations, of course) with the only notable hold out being Iran…but the Mullahs also know they are quite defenseless against Israeli and American power so we’ll see how that plays out…they’ll never officially drop their “kill the Jews” platform but if they’ve got the sense God gave little, white mice they’ll cut off the funds for Hamas and call it a day. The rest of the Muslim world is telling the Palestinians that it is past time to pack it in on that whole “Palestinian Liberation Movement”. It is over. They won’t march on Tel Aviv. Israel is a permanent fixture…and perhaps if they are very nice and behave themselves for a while they might get sovereignty over the Dome of the Rock and maybe a small section of the Old City as the symbolic capital of Palestine. It is time for this stupid war to end – and if the Palestinians prove intractable, then I can only see this ending with their total and permanent exile from the entirety of the Holy Land.

Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma posted on X the picture of a New York State CDL – it was all fine and dandy but the name said “No Name Given”. Yes, the holder of it was an illegal. In fact, Oklahoma found a very large number of illegals driving on their highways. And now I’m finding out that multiple Blue States are issuing “temporary” CDL’s with “No Name Given”…which totally defeats the purpose of having a driver’s license…but is exactly what drug and human trafficking criminal cartels need for moving their product around.

And that is what this actually shows: the governments of the Blue States are in bed with the cartels. There is simply no other explanation for allowing an un-named person to carry a CDL. You only do that if you want to assist organized crime.

Democrats are threatening a government shut down and Trump is proceeding on the assumption that this is threatening him with a good time. Reminder: if the money isn’t appropriated for a position, then that position legally ceases to exist. That is the Power of the Purse, guys. Now, in the past when there was a government shut down, the President has placed those unfunded on furlough and made sure their back pay was placed in the final budget deal…but the President doesn’t have to furlough them. They’re gone the moment the money is gone…and they only get to come back if the President wants them back (that is, makes sure its in the final budget deal). Trump might be able to fire a vast number of bureaucrats.

Which the Democrats know is the case and they hold absolutely zero cards here – because what pain there is won’t be inflicted on MAGA. Trump will make sure of that. Obama made sure regular Americans suffered under shutdown…because he hates Americans and wants us to suffer if he doesn’t get his way. Trump loves Americans…and so all the pain will be inflicted upon the Ruling Class. But Schumer and Co are also looking over their shoulders…Far Left primary challengers are already trying to get started. They’ve called Trump Hitler for 10 years and their base believes it…and you can’t cut a budget deal with Hitler. The Democrat Base wants this fight…and might turn with fury on any Democrat who tries to avoid it. So, Schumer might have to drive over the cliff here – and that’s funny.

They All Must Go Back

Ian Roberts was being paid $305,000.00 annually as Superintendent of the Des Moines Public Schools. Here’s the problem: he’s an illegal immigrant. Who overstayed a student visa from 1999. Who has a final deportation order. He was charged with illegal weapons possession in 2020. Who’s “PhD” seems to have come from an on-line PhD mill.

Now, you and I can’t open a bank account without proving beyond a reasonable doubt that we are who we say we are. This guy started working in education in 2000 and has bounced around from one district to another around the country to finally rise to the top as a district Superintendent. And nobody ever checked. Not once. The most cursory examination of his record would have exposed him. Reminder: he was hired (apparently at the behest of one of Michelle Obama’s former White House aides) after the weapons charge. He had a felony record in the books…and he got hired.

Sure, we know why: he’s a black immigrant. That is the only criteria the school district in Iowa looked at – the only thing they cared about. You can just see in your mind the meeting: while Iowa is Red, the education system – as it is almost universally in the USA – is controlled by the Left…they were in their little offices casting about for a new Superintendent in 86% white Iowa and they saw him! Their savior! The Man who would Lead them to the Promised Land…or, more importantly, be a black face up front protecting the school district from scrutiny on such tedious things as reading comprehension…you know: “hey, buddy, you some kinda racist thinking our black immigrant Superintendent isn’t doing his job???”. He was hired without a second thought…and without an actual background check (at least, they all hope so…failure to do that is probably a misdemeanor…if they did do the background check and then tossed it aside, they’re probably all looking at felonies). As I said, we know why he was hired – but we do need to look deeper into the how of it all.

Because just how many such are there? Ultimately, both in the citizen and alien category. That is: people who had no documentation to back up their claims about themselves. People who have wormed their way into positions of grave responsibility even though they don’t have the least qualification for the job. I’m guessing this is a tip of the iceberg…remember, he worked in school districts all around the country for 25 years. As a school Superintendent – and, previously, a school Principal – he had great control over hiring and promotion…how many fraudulent people did he help into the system? And how many people in the system – citizen or not – now have a vested interest in the truth not coming out? And how many other professions are inhabited by phonies and illegals?

It might be that for all immigrants a background check will have to be done. It’ll take millions of person-hours. It’ll cost billions. But everyone who has come in over the past 30 years simply has to be reviewed…their names checked, their credentials verified. And it will have to start with a law saying that if you entered illegally or falsified any evidence, then not only will you be deported – even if now a technical citizen – but you’ll first spend 20 years doing hard time in a federal prison…so, self deport now if you’re faking it. Everyone here under the slightest of false pretenses has to go…I don’t care how long they’ve been here or what allegedly good things they’ve done…if you lied, you’re out. It must be this way. Liars must never be allowed to profit off their lies.

And then we have to start reviewing the credentials of Americans…just where did everyone’s degree come from? Just what skills can they demonstrate in line with what we’re paying them to do? We have to find out who is a fraud and get them out of any position of responsibility. Because it is twofold here: not only are these people no good, they must hire and promote their like in order to defend themselves against exposure. That is, they have to hire people even more questionable and incompetent than themselves. See how this is likely working? He was in the system for a quarter century…that’s a lot of people flying cover. Why? Because they need cover as well.

Another Leftwing nut opened fire – this time at an ICE facility. And this was deliberately provoked by the Democrats. They’re calling ICE a new Gestapo and as with Kirk two weeks ago, such overheated rhetoric is having its intended result. Don’t forget that – the Democrats want the violence. They believe that chaos and killing advances their cause…that out of this welter of hatred the people will turn to them in 2026 and 2028. I don’t believe that will happen – but they do, and so they won’t stop.

It had just never occurred to me to check but I looked at the warning label on my generic bottle of Tylenol and there it was: if pregnant or breast feeding, check with a healthcare professional before using. So, RFK isn’t on a flight of fancy here. Then throughout the day people were posting articles – some of them years old – indicating that some studies shows negative effects of Tylenol use during pregnancy. Here’s the kicker: I saw several doctors posting they had never heard of this.

So, what I’m hearing is that some doctors don’t read the label. Which isn’t as surprising as you might think – all professional qualifications have been downgraded over the past few decades in order that we might have diversity…which seems to work out that we’ll lack attention to detail.

Here’s my view:

  1. We’re probably massively over diagnosing autism as well as other maladies which are really no more than parents refusing to impart a sense of discipline to their children. Much easier for some to say “he’s autistic!” rather than admit “look, we’re working two jobs here to keep up a high end lifestyle and I just don’t have time to make sure the kid is on track”. One of my older brothers is autistic so I grew up with it: I know what it looks like. I hardly see anyone claiming autism have any of the outward signs of it.
  2. In our rush to get the next miracle drug out, we’re probably skipping steps in testing…and probably not doing enough long-term testing to see how its really working over time. There is huge money to be made in medications and the pressure is on to get it out and gloss over any problems. This can easily mean a variety of negative health effects are simply not being looked at.

The cure to all of this is to raise standards back to where they were before diversity became a goal. Whatever it took to be a medical person in, say, 1980: that’s what you’ve got to meet now. If you can’t meet it – get out. I want my doctors to be like the doctor I had as a kid – he set our broken bones, stitched our cuts, dealt with our illnesses…almost always just in his office: he was a general practitioner and simply knew how the human body worked and how to restore it to excellent condition. I’d stack him up against the entire staff of Johns Hopkins these days. And we need this reestablishment of standards throughout all professional fields…everyone is less capable than they used to be and it is all starting to fall apart.

Rumor is that Comey might get indicted. We all hope so. And if he is, then it will be outside the Beltway – he gave his testimony remotely…which means he’s out in Trump Country for his jury.

Rep Summer Lee got all shouty about Trump trying to bring patriotism back to education – her rant about how evil the USA is and that being patriotic is wrong. To which I replied: if you’re not proud of your country, why serve in its legislative body? The bottom line is that you can’t fix what you hate – you can only destroy it. If she hates America, she can’t help America. Just go away if you think this country is evil – get the heck out. Seriously. I wouldn’t stay here if I hated it.

But that also got me thinking – it is very sad that people like Lee are now the leaders of America’s black community. And not just on the racial hate they preach so they can live the high life off of misery. It is more than just robbery of money: it is theft of memory.

Agrippa Hull was a black man born free in Massachusetts who joined the Continental Army in 1777 – eventually serving for 6 years and becoming a aid to Polish General Tadeusz Kościuszko who was the Continental Army’s main Engineer. Hull was a man of intellect and education (he had to keep up with Kościuszko who was a superlative military engineer). He knew when he enlisted that most people in America who looked like him were held in degrading slavery…and even a free man of education like himself faced routine bigotry on account of his skin color. And yet he joined – and served honorably (his discharge was personally signed by George Washington). Why would he serve? Because he could see – that is, he could perceive what he was fighting for. Not for degrading slavery in South Carolina, but for the ringing declaration that all men are created equal. He knew – he must have known – that a nation so founded could not forever hold slaves…or, indeed, be the abode of any systemic injustice. That whatever sins such a nation has or had, they would be corrected because the nation was founded just to make that correction. Not immediately, but over time – and so he signed his life over to America and risked his all just to see this thing created.

That is what these race-baiters are taking away from black Americans and, indeed, all Americans. Think about our black Americans…endured slavery and Jim Crow and yet rose to the heights of education, art, science…incredible devotion to their families, heroic bravery on the battlefield. They, too, crossed wildernesses to carve civilization out of nothing. And all that is taken away so that a few race-baiters can live well and get lauded by upper class white Liberals. It is both disgusting and sad. They’d rather stew over some perceived slight in 2025 than marvel at what their ancestors accomplished in the face of genuine adversity. And the demand that white Americans hate America, too…that we tear down all statues, rename all places…do everything we can to show disdain for those who came before us.

The good news is their time is past…they are just shrieking into a void these days. We’re moving on – and we will teach youth of the greatness of America.

The Turning Point

Mark Noonan15 Comments

The MSM is saying 90,000 attended the Kirk memorial and 20 million watched – the reality looks like 200,000 attended (including the overflow) and as many as 100 million watched it live or streamed it via various platforms. It was a gigantic national event – Super Bowl in scope. And for a man who just…talked. I have to admit, I was deeply moved. If you didn’t choke up while Erika Kirk spoke then you simply aren’t human. Trump was, of course, Trump: he’ll never be what he isn’t. And while he seemed to drift at times into a typical Trump speech, he always came right back to the matter at hand: Charlie Kirk and the message of restoring America.

And how did the Left view it?

Well, over on Bluesky they started noting there are three k’s in Erika Kirk and they ran with that. They are some very sick people…pathetic. I do feel sorry for them. Sure, I know they have to be stopped…but to live your life like that, to give up any semblance of truth and beauty just so other twisted people will pretend to like you? I just don’t understand it. It is outside my experience and, indeed, my imagination. It is something I can’t really comprehend.

Pollsters who matter have started to notice a big shift in Party ID among respondents – one pollster has the American electorate at R +6. Maybe that will slip back a bit but I’m thinking it won’t – the Left at long last revealed itself for what it is over the past week: just hatred and lies. It doesn’t matter what high-minded phrasing they cook up, everyone knows they’re just lying…just hating. Just trying to latch on to power and wealth and justifying it by a bizarre (insane, really) belief that they are worthy of it all. This polling shift is being confirmed in the continued increase in GOP registration – the GOP, for instance, had a net gain of 3,000 in Pennsylvania last week. There is an even money chance that PA is a Red State by registration in time for 2028.

Vance really helped himself a lot – his speech was very impressive. While we will have a primary in 2028, it is probably Vance’s for the taking. He’d have to really blow it to fail…and then it will all come down to who is the Veep, with plenty now plugging for Gabbard. I think we all have some doubts about her on policy, but none of us doubt her deep patriotism. As I’m now fully entering into old age, I’ll leave that for the young to decide. I’ll back whomever they pick.

Can we still lose? Of course we can. We’re human. We’ll make our mistakes. Things may happen to derail the train…but with the Left exposed and the GOP shedding the last aspects of Corporate Establishment, I think our side has the edge…that we will prevail, and perhaps for a generation. And this will be Charlie’s monument…a future for his children.

In response to Kimmell being fired a lot of people on the Right are trying to explain it – that is, squaring it with our disgust with Cancel Culture. I’m not. Kimmell wasn’t cancelled – he’s a disgusting liar. That’s the only reason he’s off the air. If he hadn’t been a disgusting liar, he’d still be on. Simple as that. We didn’t do anything to him – he did it to himself. The only surprise here is that the network kept him on to spew his disgusting lies as his audience collapsed. If I ran the network, I would have ditched him years ago – saying that having a disgusting liar on the air is not what the network is about.

But, of course, that is what all networks have been about – and for a long time. The movie Network (1976) nailed it pretty well in that they’ll do anything to get eyeballs glued to the tube…but missed entirely the depth upon depth of lies the networks would put out if they thought lies meant good ratings. And it isn’t remotely the news that has all the lies – in fact, the news has the least lies necessary to advance the Leftist agenda. The popular culture stuff is where you get down to really nitty-gritty lies…like Law and Order with its bizarre fixation on anything that isn’t a crime problem in the United States. Of course, no production company would ever put out a show dealing with real crime problems…that is, a massively disproportionate number of non-white people committing most of the serious crimes. Better to cook up something which always has a white man as the bad guy…and even better if he’s Christian. I mean, you could do a whole series of criminal procedure episodes just about welfare fraud in Minnesota…but as its massively Somali…ain’t gonna see it! Better to just lie.

As least, until now. Now we have a President who is being totally uncool about that whole drag-him-through-the-courts-and-also-try-to-shoot-him thing the Democrats set up. He’s willing to use the immense power which the Left handed off to the Executive in the firm belief that it would never be turned against the Left. Oooops! Now networks have to worry about licensing and lawsuits and just the President talking about how dishonest they are…absolutely no respect given to them. It hurts – socially and financially. Look for some shows that start to reflect our values pretty soon…especially if Vance or another Trumper wins in 2028.

In my view, Ilhan Omar should be denaturalized and deported. I am thoroughly disgusted with this foreigner who was rescued by our nation deciding to call us the bad guys. If she showed the least bit of gratitude for the immense wealth and position this nation has afforded her I’d be ok – but she’s just a bitter, spiteful woman – as well as being a mindless tool for people who want America destroyed. Enough. Back to Somalia for her…where she won’t be allowed to appear in public, have any position or wealth.

AOC got up in the House to say that the motion to honor Kirk causes pain – which is her way of saying, “we’re glad he’s dead, the operation worked – you’re all Nazis and we’re coming after all of you”. Not at all kidding. She’s a mindless Commie but she also has internalized the way Commies work…everything that helps them is good and the vile hatred which got Kirk killed helped Communism…so, she’s not going to condemn it and, indeed, will continue to encourage it.

Some Democrats tried to block ICE and got treated exactly like those who try to interfere with Federal law enforcement should expect: badly. These actions by the Left prove their utter contempt for the USA. The laws about immigration may be good, bad or indifferent…but they are the laws. They were passed over many years via our representatives in Congress assembled and represent the considered wisdom of the American body politic. They cannot be set aside. That they have been set aside for decades is the blot upon our honor – enforcing them is the only decent thing to do. If anyone doesn’t like the laws – and everyone is free to do so – then the only course of action is to work within the political system to obtain a government which will change the laws…trying to riot in front of ICE is a betrayal of the American ideal. I’m hoping that we’ll eventually get some indictments out of this behavior.

Free Speech and Justice

Mark Noonan22 Comments

It is still all about the lies – Kirk was killed by a man who submerged himself in Leftwing lies to the point where he perceived Kirk as a personal enemy who must be eliminated if the killer was to survive. Now, to be sure, this is a weak-minded person – but as I’ve noted again and again, if you spread hate filled lies in a population of 340 million, even if just one tenth of one percent fully believe the lies, that means 340,000 people primed to kill.

That’s a lot.

And, of course, it is probably closer to twenty five percent of our population fully infected with the lies that killed Kirk. So, 85 million or so people. This is shown by an ABC reporter who looked at the killer’s text messages to his partner and found them “touching”. Everyone is torching that reporter but keep in mind: to that reporter – as to tens of millions of others – the killer is the hero. I guarantee there are people right now writing scripts portraying the killer as the hero. You can almost see the Law and Order episode…a “Right Wing Fanatic” gets killed and after our dogged (Liberal) law enforcement officers investigate, they find it was the “Fanatic” who caused it to happen.

It is unshakable Liberal dogma that Kirk was an absolutely horrible person. They’ll literally quote you things Kirk never said (or that are so twisted out of context they work out to bald faced lies) as proof that he was lousy…with the subtext being that he got what was coming. These fools are incapable of turning that about – of thinking of a time when their opponents decide to dish it right back to them. They can’t imagine that because they are stunningly ignorant – they just assume they’ll never be called upon to pay the price they demand we pay. They don’t know how the world works – do not know how people behave when they feel their lives are at stake. They expect to get Kirk killed, get in our faces, yell at us…throw things at us…and we’ll never do anything. They’re wrong. There is a limit – and we’re just about there. The next phase is people on the Right shooting back.

That happens if Team Trump is not able to get a handle on the people responsible for the lies and make them pay for it. And that brings me to this: Bondi is getting a lot of flack for condemning hate speech. There is no such thing as hate speech – we all know that. And, so, her comment about it ignited an immediate fire storm on the Right. But you do need to pay close attention to what she said:

Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime. For far too long, we’ve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 875(c), it is a federal crime to transmit “any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another.” Likewise, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and 18 U.S.C. § 115 make it a felony to threaten public officials, members of Congress, or their families.

You cannot call for someone’s murder. You cannot swat a Member of Congress. You cannot dox a conservative family and think it will be brushed off as “free speech.” These acts are punishable crimes, and every single threat will be met with the full force of the law.

Free speech protects ideas, debate, even dissent but it does NOT and will NEVER protect violence.

She is not saying that hate speech is a crime – but she is saying that hate speech will be a crime if it goes beyond a certain point. This is as close as she feels she can get to my position – that is, lies aren’t 1A protected. Honestly, I don’t know if that’s where she’s heading but if I were AG, this is where I’d start on my path to hauling the Left into court for their lies, as such. Can’t do that – just too much opposition would develop against it, including from the Right. Heck, we’ve seen just the use of “hate speech” set off a ruckus. But it is the way to go about it – it is kicking the Left in the shins. Their terminology is being turned against them…and she’s not promising to drop the hammer on “I hate Trump”…but she will drop it on “I think Trump should be taken out”. And so on through all the rest of the incitements the Left puts out and then pretends weren’t incitements when someone like Kirk gets killed.

Our test case is now the people who surrounded Kirk’s killer – the friends who talked him into believing the way he did. If any of them in any way encouraged violence, we might be able to indict them…and indict them in Utah – a Trump +31 State. We don’t know how this will shake out as its still very early, but the text messages released indicate that the killer had been brooding of this for some time and felt he had the opportunity to kill Kirk and get away with it. We’ll see what Bondi and Patel turn up in the investigation. We’ll see, that is, if we can make the Left pay for Kirk’s murder – because that is the only way to do this. If the killer is executed for the crime and it goes no further, then justice has not been done…it would almost work out to a miscarriage of justice. It would be hanging the concentration camp guard while letting the camp commandant off. The killer was wound up like a clock and set off on a schedule…and the greater guilt resides in those who lied this event into existence.

And our safety can only be secured if we punish the liars. You can see it: they feel no remorse and are not at all toning it down. They are already getting fired up and ready to brazenly lie some more. Why shouldn’t they? They got an effective opponent killed – they certainly hope to kill more and ever higher up the line. And they sit supremely confident that nothing will happen to them. “I didn’t kill anyone!”…no, but you said over and over again that Kirk wanted all trans people killed…that he was a Nazi…a fascist…an existential threat. But if you lie and lie and lie and those lies motivate a killer, then you are morally responsible for the death…now we’re going to find out if we can make such people criminally liable.

Destroy the Left

Mark Noonan25 Comments

It has been noted that if they won’t change because of this, then they’re not going to change. So, as the Left is not changing after they orchestrated the murder of Charlie Kirk, we just have to go on the assumption they never will change. This means we have to think a bit differently about what outcome we want – that is, what is our definition of victory?

It isn’t good enough to simply beat them even for a whole series of elections – we must get to a point where it is impossible for the modern American Left to ever be in control of the destiny of our nation. This is so because they have now absolutely proved that their goal is our death or enslavement. They will not quit, will not change and the only thing preventing them from putting us against the wall at any given moment is the lack of power. Now we on the Right much better understand why Pinochet and Franco did what they did – not out of bloodthirsty cruelty, but because they knew that if they didn’t, then everyone they knew and loved would be killed. Keep in mind that both men only acted when they felt they absolutely had to and both almost acted too late…just a little more time for their opponents in either case and they would have lost forever (it should be noted that Pinochet, like us, was patient – he obeyed Allende’s orders to suppress anti-Allende protests and only reluctantly joined the coup when he perceived that Allende was leading Chile to destruction).

The good news is that the murder of Kirk has opened a lot of eyes – even among middle of the road, Trump-skeptical people. In spite of relentless lies about Kirk since he was killed (in addition to all the lies prior), people do perceive that all he was doing was talking. He wasn’t inciting violence. He wasn’t calling for tyranny. Just talking…and he was killed…and then large numbers of Left people shouted for joy. The man was killed in front of his wife and children…a very terrorist, public execution. A warning to everyone else: don’t talk! And this perception is moment by moment alienating more people from the Left. Whether or not they’ll now all turn out for us is unknown…but it is unlikely they’ll turn out for Democrats. At least, not until Democrats clearly and distinctly condemn what happened without any “but” in there.

The bad news is that no matter what happens, tens of millions of people are totally committed to the Left – their place in the world (at least in their minds) is dependent upon toeing the Party Line. If even they want to change, they feel they can’t – too much to be lost. Position. Wealth. Friends. All gone if they stray even an inch from orthodoxy. In addition, the major media outlets – in spite of some tremors of change recently – have doubled down on lying for the Democrats. Going along with their talking point which is overtly that Trump causes the violence and covertly that Kirk had it coming. That sort of social reach means that if the stars align, an unrepentant Democrat party gets into power…and we already saw Biden’s people making major efforts to criminalize dissent…this will go on overdrive if any Democrat obtains Executive power in the USA.

This is why Trump must really go after these people – and there are signals that he’s going to. The shutdown of USAID and other government programs has massively hurt the Left. But there are still plenty of money-bags out there. Think about how the Army of Bots was out on social media within minutes of the assassin’s arrest telling everyone that the killer was MAGA…it is now dogma on the Left that he was MAGA and no amount of facts will change that. They believe it. The Party has told them to ignore the evidence of their eyes and they are doing so…but the really disturbing thing here is that army of bots which put out the Party Line: someone paid for it. And as the Party Line is that the killer is MAGA based on his background, this means the person or persons who paid the bots knew who the killer was before the arrest. What I’m saying here is that the Leftist Money is paying for a certain outcome…relentlessly putting out the word about MAGA’s evil and Trump’s a Nazi and going on the dark web to tell the mentally unstable that they must kill. And then setting up the talking points in advance as they perceive which fools are most likely to carry out the deed. They’ve tried two times against Trump (that we know of). They’ve now go Kirk. They will try to get others like him and rely on it that Vance, Rubio and Hegseth are in the crosshairs.

It is a huge churn of Leftwing hate mongering going out there…backed by the major media outlets and most popular culture. And it is all paid for – it is all deliberate. And it is also getting very desperate…they know that if youth continues to shift Right then the GOP will win many elections in a row…and it’ll be Trump followed by Trumpsters. Meaning that twenty years from now, America will be a place where the Left can’t win…and those on the gravy train because the Left is dominant will be out in the cold.

But only if we win – and winning now requires us to go after the true malevolent actors…not the fool who shot Kirk, but the wicked people who lit the match. Who has the greater guilt: the man who believed the lies, or the liar? I say the liar. Kirk was killed by a man who apparently submerged himself in a Leftwing swamp on line…but that swamp was built on purpose, and just for this purpose. If we don’t go after the makers of the swamp, then that swamp will just keep sending out killers.

But also keep in mind that Trump is our last chance to save America as we understand her. That is, a federal Republic under our Constitution. If the Left had any sense at all, they’d see it, call a halt and shift a bit to the Right…but they won’t because at this point they can’t…too far down the hate-filled Leftwing rabbit hole. If Trump is not able to uproot the Left’s Ecosystem of Hate, then this doesn’t mean we roll over and die…it just means we go a different route. We go Pinochet or Franco. That is, we refuse to die. We refuse to let our love of the Constitution lead us step by step into Gulag. The only way the Left wins now is with violence…if they can kill enough Trumpsters, they believe they will win. And if we can’t uproot them, they will keep killing…and it’ll come to the point where it is time for us to shoot back. The Left better hope that Trump destroys them…because that will be a lot nicer for them than the alternative.
