Well the moment that the left has been waiting for and working hard to achieve has finally come.

Lefty pols, lefty press and lefty activists have been doing all they can to produce a dead body that they can decide to lay at the feet of Trump and ICE and now that has come to pass. Several thoughts:

  1. Do not think for one moment that the pols the activists and the press are sad about this woman’s death. I submit and suggest they are absolutely delighted. This has been their goal for almost a year and they’ve done all they can to produce it. While they might have preferred a person of color to be the body in order to cry “racism” the fact that this is a white lesbian woman with children will fill the bill in other ways for them. While publicly they will wail and gnash their teeth I assure you privately they are overjoyed, particularly at the prospect of taking Minnesota fraud out of the news loop.
  2. I feel bad for the dead woman in question and her family. Not because her actions didn’t warrant getting shot, trying to run over a federal agent is a fine way to get yourself killed but while it’s possible that she was all in on the “ICE is the Gestapo” business based on reporting she was persuaded to come down and her lawfully married spouse who was busy was busy blaming herself for making her come down there. Now her dead body and her family are going to be exploited again by the left and used as a prop. You’ll see tearful pols and angry leftists screaming bloody murder and talking fondly of the dead as a brave warrior for freedom when she was in fact a useful idiot who is more useful now that she’s dead than alive.
  3. This will have one of two effects on the rest of the useful idiots out there being paid to harass ICE who should at this point realize: “Oh my God this could have been me!”. I suspect given the idiocy of the left we will get a lot more of the 2nd than the first.
    • What the hell am I doing out here risking getting killed? The money isn’t worth it, I’m being used!
    • This lady will be remembered as a “hero” If it happens to me my life will have meaning and purpose at last!
  4. The fact that there is plenty of video evidence that this woman refused to leave her car when ordered and was trying to run down the Ice agent (whether due to panic or malice) will be immaterial to either the leftist pols or the leftist media or anyone else. Their narrative is out there and no actual physical evidence will matter. Tim Waltz particular is going to go all in as the topic is no longer him or the scandals in the state and even better for the left the President’s success in Venezuela and vs Russia and the revolt in Iran, all of them stories they do NOT want to cover, can be pushed to the back burner. Reality doesn’t matter to these people, just the narrative and now they have their narrative and they’ll push it through as many news cycles as they can, oh and don’t think for one moment that those involved in the fraud will use this distraction caused by this to destroy records etc that will hurt their cause.
  5. Finally Consider this from a non-political angle. You’re a woman with young children, what the HELL are you doing harassing federal agent during the day and taking this kind of risk? What kind of example are you setting? With your spouse filming are you really more interested in getting a viral moment than being a mother to your children? What parent sets this kind of example, and if she was pressured by her spouse what parent doesn’t resist such pressure for the sake of her kids? It reminds me of the transgender craze where mothers are spaying their own kids for status. It’s bad parenting, it’s narcissism and her kids are going to pay the price for the rest of their lives.

Why We Need the 2nd Amendment: Nasty Dose of Reality in Amsterdam Edition

Don Vito Corleone: But I’m a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall him, if he should get shot in the head by a police officer or if he should hang himself in his jail cell or if he’s struck by a bolt of lightning then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room. And that, I do not forgive.

The Godfather 1972

This morning I woke to the news that there were folks in Amsterdam who used the excuse of a soccer match to start a pongrom against Jews

They’re beaten, kicked, run over, thrown in the river. In one instance, a fan was reportedly held against his will until he said ‘Free Palestine’. When terrorist sympathizers chant globalize the intifada, this is what it looks like. Every one of these are anti-Jewish hate crimes, plain and simple.

To wit:

The Dutch authorities apparently no longer having the courage or those who fought the Nazis or Michiel de Ruyter are apparently sitting this one out and one of the reasons this is possible is because nobody seems to want to cover this story to force them into action:

So thank Elon Musk that we even know about it.

How bad has it gotten? This bad:

Over the years I’ve been writing I’ve often seen people in Europe wonder why Americans are so insistent on the 2nd amendment. In fact Doctor Who even joked about Americans and guns once.

But the bottom line is if the Dutch had a 2nd Amendment then every single one of those thugs would have to ask themselves: “Does that Jew have a gun?” before going after any Jew and you’ll be surprised how much that slows down a so called “martyr”. If you think it can’t happen here you haven’t seen a college campus lately which coincidently are generally considered “gun free zones, or as I call them, game preserves for the evil.

That’s why we need the 2nd Amendment. Any Questions?

Three Closing Thoughts:

  1. It is an utter disgrace that the Dutch Authorities are letting this happen.
  2. Anyone who says this isn’t coming to other European cities is a delusional idiot or wants it to happen
  3. The reason for the Godfather quote is personal and I’ll explain in an update tonight.

Update: My wife was in Amsterdam today on her way home she got in and out of the city without incident.

Under the Fedora: An Accurate Assessment, DA Bragg’s priorities, So Bad even the MSM can’t spin it, An idiot no longer Useful, Stacy on Susan Wojcicki

This assessment of the situation in England is better than anything else I’ve read

Not since 1066 has a government in my land so hated and despised the people it rules, and been so determined to enslave, reduce, deny, exploit and destroy them. What is happening with mass immigration, with unacknowledged but real Muslim conquest, and with erasure from both the history books and the streets, represents a deliberate attempt to expunge a distinct people from the world, to consign them solely to history. And if you don’t believe that is true, visit the parts of Birmingham or London or Bradford where it has already happened, and find me an Englishman there.

There is also an excellent bit of history about the Norman Conquest and its aftermath well worth your time.

The difference between how DA Allen Bragg treats people who are considered a danger to Democrat re-election efforts vs a danger to police or innocent Jews is illustrated here:

James Carlson, who also goes by Cody, burned an Israeli flag, violently stormed Columbia’s Hamilton Hall, clashed with a facilities worker, and allegedly broke a police camera while detained. He was arrested on April 20 on a misdemeanor arson charge and again on April 30, the day that New York City police swept Columbia and cleared Hamilton Hall, for burglary, a felony in New York.

By the time Carlson and other Hamilton Hall arrestees attended their June court hearings, however, the Manhattan district attorney’s office—led by Alvin Bragg—opted to pursue a reduced charge against Carlson: criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor. As a result, Carlson, a trust fund kid who specializes in animal rights law and lists his $2.3 million Brooklyn townhouse on his active New York attorney registration, faces little risk of losing his license.

Via Hotair. Never forget that if Trump was the pre 2015 Trump who was not consider a threat to Democrats holding power his case would never have seen the light of day.

How Bad was the Walz Pick by Kamala Harris, this bad:

Two things to remember about this story:
  1. The Walz pick was the first decision made by Kamala as the Democrat candidate for president.
  2. This is the same media that has done their level best to raise up and protect Harris from the moment Biden was forced out.

Almost more interesting is the media sudden volte face on Hunter Biden.

A CNN panel reacted on Wednesday to the news that Hunter Biden reportedly sought help from the U.S. government for a possibly financially beneficial energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, and said it felt “very strange.” 

“This isn‘t great. Hunter Biden, everybody in the White House has known for a long time, is an issue. The way that his lawyers responded to this disclosure saying, ‘Well, yeah, he sent letters but did nothing wrong.’ This feels very strange to people that the vice president‘s son was sending letters or making requests to other government officials and saying, ‘Hey, would you meet with this company?’,” CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere said.

The killer quote however is this:

“One of the other things The New York Times reports here is that this document was suddenly shaken loose from the U.S. bureaucracy of the week that President Biden dropped out of the race,” CNN host Kasie Hunt said. “They claim it’s a coincidence.”

It’s amazing what can happen when an idiot is no longer useful

Math and Logic are important and Stacy McCain notes both with discussing the COVID Vaccines and the death of former Youtube Boss who was in charge when I was kicked off the platform:

My point is that two things can be simultaneously true: (1) the COVID-19 vaccines inflicted no serious harm on the vast majority of patients who got vaccinated against the virus, and (2) there are many thousands of people who suffered serious side effects of the vaccines, including hundreds who died as a result of getting vaccinated. You don’t need any expertise in epidemiology to ujnderstand this; it’s just simple math.

OK, so it is probably just a coincidence that pro-vaccine fanatic Susan Wojcicki died of lung cancer at age 56, a little more than three years after the COVID vaccines became available. For my friend to suggest that it was “turbo cancer” is not justified by any available evidence, and it’s probably impolite even to discuss it.

But is it wrong? Well, I can’t say that for certain, and neither can you. Logic requires that we reserve judgment when encountering the unknown, and mRNA vaccines are so new that potential side effects are definitely in the realm of the unknown.

The math is simple:

If you tell me, for example, that mRNA vaccines have been proven 99.9% safe, what you’re actually telling me is, one in 1,000 patients will suffer serious side effects. And if you’re going to administer such vaccines to many millions of people, simple multiplication tells you that there will be a thousand “bad” cases for every million of patients who get the vaccine.

As far as the death of Ms Wojcicki all I know for sure is she was loved by God and Christ died for her sins along with everyone else’s. I hope and pray that she took advantage of said mercy when offered.

I also know that you should subscribe to Stacy McCain’s substack.

Chicago mainstream media ignores rumors that Mayor Brandon Johnson has suffered panic attacks

By John Ruberry

There are a couple of good ways to feel the pulse of what is going in politically in Chicago–and they both involve John Kass, a former Chicago Tribune columnist. You can read his new columns at JohnKassNews.com and you can listen to his Chicago Way podcast.

In his most recent podcast, Kass’ guest was longtime Chicago television reporter, Anita Padilla, who now reports for the Florida Voice. They speak freely about current events, something that was hard for them do to when they worked in the legacy media.

Chicago’s mayor, leftist and Chicago Teachers Union product, Brandon Mayor, was discussed. It was Padilla who brought up a topic that the local mainstream media won’t touch–rumors that Johnson, who was sworn into office last spring–has suffered panic attacks since becoming mayor.

“Because sources told me–two sources–told me that he has been in the hospital for these panic attacks,” Padilla told Kass. “And he is stressed out because this is a big, big job for him.”

Kass replied, “He wasn’t ready for it.” Padilla immediately responded back, “He’s not ready for it, he’s not ready for it. He’s not a leader.”

In October on JohnKassNews, Kass discussed the Johnson panic attack speculation.

The rumors flying through City Hall from sources are that Johnson has suffered at least two episodes that are being described by some as “panic attacks.” I’m not a doctor. I wouldn’t know what to prescribe. But I do know this: as Johnson continues to panic, speculation is growing about a replacement if he can’t do the job.

He’s proven he can’t do the job.

And Kass appears to be right. The local legacy media quickly moved on after it was revealed that, as the Chicago Sun-Times reported, that Johnson “unwittingly” signed an extension of a $10 million contract with ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection company. On the campaign trail, Johnson vowed to cancel that deal.

The speculation about, well, the speculation of Johnson’s panic attacks centers on the migrant crisis. Chicago is a sanctuary city, although America’s third-largest city has not been an able sanctuary host.

A 2,000-person migrant tent city on the Southwest Side–a project Johnson championed–was vehemently opposed by neighborhood residents. Citing environmental concerns, Gov. JB Pritzker pulled the plug on the camp last month–a rare instance when I supported an official action of his–but after the city spent nearly $1 million on it. This summer, many migrants were sleeping at police stations and inside O’Hare Airport terminals.

Two weeks after the migrant tent city was cancelled, a five-year-old Venezuelan boy died at a migrant shelter, an old warehouse, also on the Southwest Side. The boy’s cause of death has not been determined, but conditions in the shelter, which the Johnson administration had been aware of since October, were horrid. Third World-like. Among the problems in the old warehouse were cockroach infestation, exposed piping with raw sewage, not enough bathrooms, and widespread illness.

Johnson will soon have even more to panic about. Crime was the biggest issue of last year’s mayoral campaign. Voters chose to ramp up Johnson’s predecessor’s failed approach to tackle the “root causes” of crime, rather than fighting criminals. Delayed until last September because of a court challenge, Illinois’ no-cash bail SAFE T-Act is finally in effect. Johnson scored a lucky break on that litigation, because the Chicago crime rate usually goes down, along with the temperatures, when summer ends. But the full effect of the pro-criminal SAFE T-Act probably won’t be felt until spring, when those crime rates go back up and Chicago’s career criminals will be emboldened, if they aren’t already, with the belief that crime does pay, even if you are arrested.

And there is now a migrant crime wave in Chicago and the suburbs, although for the most part, the mainstream media is ignoring it.

And this summer, in a foolish move by the Democratic National Committee, the city of Chicago, and the state of Illinois, the Democratic National Convention will convene in Chicago. Many expect violent protests and yes, riots. Which led the Chicago Contrarian to remark on X, “If @ChicagosMayor is experiencing panic attacks over illegals flooding Chicago, one wonders what kind of hysterical meltdown he will suffer when confronted with the maelstrom of rage and rioting the DNC will bring.”

Such a “maelstrom” could end up as a morbid morph of the George Floyd riots of 2022 and the DNC outrage of 1968.

And the “panic” could be spreading to Johnson’s staff. Last week a Bloomberg reporter, Ian Kullgren, was jostled by someone in the mayor’s inner circle. ”Unbelievable, “Kulgren posted on X, ” A staffer for @ChicagosMayor just physically shoved me for trying to ask the mayor a question. 1st time in 15 years as a reporter I’ve had anything like this happen.”

Let’s Go Brandon.
